Dark forces are rising once again. Evils once thought to have been vanquished when Nightmare Moon was defeated are gathering strength, and their attacks on the citizens of Equestria grow bolder with each passing week. To ensure the usage of the Elements of Harmony, Princess Celestia sends her best agent, Voltaic Shock, to Ponyville to act as Twilight's bodyguard.

But all is not as it seems, and an unexpected encounter with an old and powerful foe shakes up the playing field before the final pieces have been set. Can Voltaic help stem the tide of darkness threatening to overwhelm Equestria? Or will evil finally triumph? Read here to find out.
