After a new villain is defeated and Equestria is safe once more, Celestia decides to create a protection system to protect Equestria from similar villains. However, she does this by splitting Equestria into factions and relocating many ponies, so the villain would be surrounded from all areas. She puts all ponies in training to fight, so they can protect themselves. Equestria isn't fun anymore.

These six factions tear apart Twilight and her friends. None of them are in the same one. The only friends that Twilight has left are Spike and Zecora. Families have been torn apart and friends have been split for good.

When another villain is announced to be coming to Celestia's new Equestria, Celestia believes they're ready. But what about her plans can go terribly wrong?

As the Mane 6 learn to cope with loss, find love, and become stronger, they're hoping to find each other one last time.
