It was a vacation planned out by Twilight Sparkle, her boyfriend Caring Slash, and her friends to visit Hana No Mura (The Village of Blossoms), A lovely village near the borders of human Pony Ville and Canterlot. While planning out the trip, Twilight feels uneasy about the shadows that surround her, and while talking to the village elder, the village is attacked by strange, shadowy creatures with strange powers. After they defeat the creatures and bring the survivors to safety, a young boy ran home to see if his adoptive father was okay. When he arrived, it was too late. But when he saw the small remains of the shadows follow Twilight, he seeks out to "Avenge" his adoptive father by destroying her. When he encountered her and was told the truth, he could not believe that someone or something was controlling these shadows, and only he, Caring, and the elements could stop it. The only question the boy holds for himself... Is he ready?
