The Story centers around an ancient evil known as Tirek, who wanted to destroy Equestria many years ago. He was able to extract negative energy from ponies and creatures to create his armies, then he ultimately decides on creating a negative version of The Elements Of Harmony which he called The Artifacts Of Hatred and succeeds in creating them. The Artifacts are actually powerful enough to destroy the Elements, but he was defeated by Celestia and Luna before he was even able to use them. He is then sealed millions of feet under The Hall Of The Royal Sisters. Feeling powerless, Tirek decides to divide his soul in six parts with the power of The Artifacts and spread to find hosts in order to ressurrect him. Many years pass and the final host is yet to be found, but the 5 other hosts mobilize their plan to destroy The Elements in time for the resurrection. In the end, evil succeeds and Equestria falls, but when all hope seems to be lost many heroes will rise to save their land.
