Four years after the fight against Discord, the Elements of Harmony have gone their separate ways. Though they remain friends, very few of them desire for the days when they protected Equestria from certain doom. The meteor shower threatens to change all of that, as monsters from unknown origins begin to attack Equestria. That's not all however.

During one of the monster attacks, Trixie Lulamoon, a star who fell from grace many years ago at the hooves of the elements of harmony, sustains a mortal wound and almost dies. A being of light comes to her aid and revives her, on the condition that she help the entity destroy these monsters.

Trixie, now forced to depend on the very mare who ruined her life, joins the new Canterlot defense force MARES (Monster Annihilation and Recovery Equestrian Squad) in order to combat the monsters, reunite the Elements of Harmony, and possibly redeem herself in the eyes of her peers, secretly defending the world in her own way as the glowing titan, Ultramare.
