A new generation of Cutie Mark Crusaders has arrived, but will they be as successful finding their marks as the last Crusaders were? Join the adventures of a very ambitious colt that wants to grow up as soon as possible, a pegasus that likes doing magic tricks, and a unicorn who has a bit of a sweet tooth, as they embark on the journey to find out what makes them unique.

Spike has grown up and now has to live outside of Ponyville, since his size would only cause damage around the village. Many things have happened as he grew up; friends were made and lost, ponies changed and now he's here to tell the story about not only him, but the stuff he learned as time passed by.
