After being accidentally awakened from his 800-year-old prison, the loyal servant of one of the most evil creatures to ever roam Equestria returns to seek vengeance and reunite with his fallen Mistress. To accomplish this, he creates a small army out of the purest of jewels to scout the land in search for his Mistress's prison and to cause as much chaos in their wake, all the while he gathers a second army of every lowlife in Equestria.

Unfortunately six members of this little army ends up being captured in the most unlikeliest of places, now, the Gemnites find themselves living under the watchful eyes of Twilight Sparkle and her friends, only to be conflicted by their intended purpose and the bonds they begin to develop. Are they merely tools for madness destined to bring back a great evil to Equestria, or are they living creatures with their own souls and choices?
