No more than five years after the Royal Wedding, the megaspells fell all over the globe, thus ending civilization as it was known. However, ponies and other species which dwelled in equestria survived in the stables scattered around the land. Other species managed to survive, either through radiation spells, private bunkers, or by surviving massive doses of radiation. That and by hiding, deep beneath the changeling hive, where the entire changeling race fell into hibernation. Now, a century later, the hive is found, and what awakens in its depths, is hungry, deadly, and on a time limit. Queen Chrysalis must set out in her weakened state to find a source of love, or her children will die, and shortly after, she will follow suit.
