The Diamond Dogs have crawled back out from their holes to terrorize Ponyville once again. Yet, Twilight Sparkle and her friends are mostly too busy with their own important tasks to rescue Starlight Glimmer, the Dogs' newest damsel in distress. The only exceptions are Rarity, who knows first-hand how horrible the Diamond Dogs are, and Spike, who has far more bravery and awesomeness in his heart than any other pony in all of Equestria despite being younger and forced to do chores by his mom. This is Spike's opportunity to truly shine, and perhaps find love along the way.
