Equestria is a dying wasteland, with few ponies remaining. Most ponies escaped to another country, thriving and vibrant, some died, and very few stayed in Equestria to save it. These few included Princess Twilight Sparkle, five of her friends, Sunset Shimmer, and about ten others. Twilight Sparkle hears about the mysterious and lost elements that she and friends had used to save Equestria many times before. They, along with some help from Sunset Shimmer, search for the elements that could send Equestria back to its thriving state. But when a filly is found, hopeless and in pain, the chase for the elements speeds up, for only the elements can save the filly from death.
