"Have you ever heard the saying 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend...?'"

Humans and Ponies have co-existed in relative peace for thousands of years. However due to their past relations, they harbor a bitter resentment for one another...although no longer down right hostile...

When terror and chaos rain throughout the Crystal Empire on a peaceful starry night, the Crystal Guard find themselves overwhelmed by a force in the darkness. They struck with unbelievable speed and left without a trace, taking with them, the Crystal Empire's beloved Prince and Princess. No one even caught a glimpse of the ones that abducted their leaders under the cover of Luna's night. The Royal Sisters of Canterlot were quick to launch a full scale investigation to reveal their whereabouts but to no avail.

Only weeks after the incident did the shadowy organization behind it all reveal themselves...What are their motives, why have they taken Shining Armor and Cadance hostage? What exactly do they want? And what does the human visitor to Canterlot have to say?

The warmth of the summer finally fills the air and every filly and colt in the city of Canterlot is looking forward for the Summer Sun celebration, especially a little pony, called Sunset. Little does she know that very occasion would be the beginning of a new life for her.
