A terrified Flurry Heart arrives at the Castle of Friendship seeking help from her favorite foalsitter. Twilight has to lead an army to investigate with the help of Rainbow Dash. Could Sombra have returned and if so how could she stop him?
Tyrannical King Sombra is waging war against Equestria and Celestia is leading her forces in a desperate losing battle. Luna has a plan to develop a secret weapon, but will she find the six ponies she needs before King Sombra can stop her?
Flurry Heart starts to wonder what she is supposed to do as an alicorn. Can a new friend help with that? Even if he's the son of Sombra! While no one accepts him, she does. But was that the right decision?
When faced against each other, who would win? Celestia, with her whole nation backing her and experience, or Sombra, a master of dark magic, and brutal beyond compare?
In the alternate timeline where Sombra was never beaten, Equestria barely stands a chance against The Crystal Empire's army. Could Equestria's only hope lie in the Wonderbolts, or the escaped foals who've turned up on their doorstep?
