The scene opens to a small fishing village in a region called "Ignacia." Far away from the bustling city near the mountains. Also, home to a small blacksmith shop called the "Four weapons."

As the afternoon sky turns orange, a tall beautiful woman clothed in a white dress with a straw hat on top of her head with a walking stick in hand made her way up the winding cobblestone path to the blacksmith shop. Inside, a red-haired girl with a hammer in hand, working under the intense heat of the forge. "SUNSET!"

The girl jolts up and bumps her head against the shelf above her. "Ow!" She rubs the top of her head and looks back at the person who called her. "What's the matter now?" She asks. The person who called her is a boy who couldn't be older than twelve years old. "S-sorry," He says nervously. "I just wanted to check up on you."

Sunset rubs some of the soot off her face. "I'm fine, just busy at the moment." She replies. She takes the sword off the anvil and lets the metal cool off in a bucket of water. "To forge the perfect weapon, you first need the right metal and plenty of heat. Cool it off… and…" She raises her sword and looks at it in disappointment seeing as the metal was curved into a spiral shape. "Great... Just perfect." She says in frustration and tossed it aside into a pile of the other attempts.

Sunset rips off the apron and gloves, setting them in their proper place. "I'll close up shop," Sunset says to the younger boy behind her. "Can I help this time?" He asks. "Please?" Sunset nods motioning him to follow her upstairs. The two start cleaning up the shop, Sunset puts all the armor and weapons back on display while her younger brother Sunburst sweeps the floor. "Is making weapons difficult? Or do you just suck at it?" Sunburst says with a smug smile on his face. Sunset glanced at him and sticks out her tongue. "Very funny..." Sunburst chuckles at his older sister. "You made it too quickly, Sunset. Be patient. If mother was still here, she'd say—"

"I know. No matter how much fire you have, experience isn't something you learn overnight." Sunset rubs her forehead. A tall woman clothed in white with a straw hat on her head that covers the upper half of her face walls into the shop with her walking stick in hand. "Um, excuse me, ma'am," Sunburst calls out. "We're currently closing. Do you need something?" He asks the mysterious woman. Sunset leans against the wall with her arms crossed, she watches as the woman looks directly at her. For some reason, the woman felt familiar to her. "So uh, are going to buy something?" She asks, Sunset felt weird around this woman, too out of her element. She didn't like it at all.

"Hmm… your metal is loud and heavy. Useful to slow one down. Useless in the art of stealth." The woman finally speaks up. She inspects a set of iron armor that was on display before looking back at Sunset. "All tools for a samurai, but nothing for a ninja?" She lifted her hat a bit, Sunset could see the glint in the woman's eyes. Sunset shakes her head. "Ninja? Huh, you're a long way from finding a ninja in these parts." Sunset replies. "Also the shop is called "Four Weapons," not "For Browsing." Either buy something or go peddle your insults somewhere else we're about to close up for the night." Sunset glares at the woman.

"I'm so sorry ma'am, my sister didn't mean that! She's just a bit of a hothead." Sunburst says apologizing. The woman simply chuckles. "It's alright young one," She says. "I think I've found what I was looking for." Sunburst motions to Sunset to show the woman around. Sunset rolls her eyes and takes a helmet off the shelf. "If it's something special you're looking for, let me sh—" She turns around and the woman in white is no where to be found.

"What is it?" Her brother asks. Sunset points to the entrance where the lady was standing. "She was just… forget it." Sunset says tiredly.

A dark cloud then appears over Ignacia, heralding the arrival of the Nightmare Forces. Upon the arrival, three nightmare generals appear on the Skull Truck.

"Oh, oh! Let me go first! Please, oh please! I'm dying to go down there!" One of the generals, Blueblood says. "You nitwit, you're already dead! Try to control yourself in front of Master Shadowfright." The other general Jerome says, and then chances his tone facing Shadowfright. "But with all due respect, last time… you did say… I could go first." Jerome says, Shadowfright glance at him.

"Sorry boys, this one is mine. Just remember what we're after and find that map. Attack!" Shadowfright orders, all the Nightmare Skulkin Vehicles accelerate in full speed. The citizens of Ignacia charge towards the oncoming trucks. "Boo!" Shadowfright shouts causing the villagers to runaway.

Sunburst looked out the kitchen window. "Um, sis." He say's. The two of them had just finished eating dinner. Sunset puts on a set of armor and grabs a sword. "What are they?" Sunburst asks following is sister. "I don't know. Stay here." Sunset tells him.

"But—"

"Just stay here and don't come out the house no matter what." Sunset says sternly before going outside, Sunburst could only watch as his older sister closed the door behind her.

Sunset gets into a stance as a Night marchers wearing black armor with a moon symbol brought up it's axe. Sunset ducks under it's swing and gives it a roundhouse kick knocking off it's head. Another Night marchers decapitates itself and bites Sunset's foot. "Ow! Little piece of crap." She kicks the nightmares's head away. As two Night marchers clap for the extraordinary performance, Sunburst sneaks up behind them and performs a stealth attack.

"I thought I told you to stay back!" Surprised seeing her brother out there with her. "Go back inside," Sunset kicks one of the Night Marchers in the chest sending tumbling down on a few other, they hit the ground like domino's. "And what? Let you have all the fun?" Sunburst say's and knocks another one back with a large tree branch. "I don't remember you being this stubborn." Sunset shakes her head. "I must've picked it up from you then."

"I'm so getting you back for that when this is over."

As the siblings fight the Nightmare Forces, Blueblood and Jerome sneak inside the shop unnoticed and start looking at the merchandise inside.

"I can't find shit in this place," Blueblood says and knocks down a shelf full of shurikens. "You're not looking hard enough!" Jerome say's, he hits Blueblood with a samurai helmet. Blueblood pounced on him and the two generals started having a fist fight inside the shop. As the two generals continue tussling, they come across the map Shadowfright was looking for. "There it is!" Blueblood says. "Let's hurry up and take it before that girl with the red hair comes back!" Jerome grabs the map that was hidden behind the now fallen sign of the "Four weapons" shop.

Sunset finishes off the last of the Night Marchers of the Nightmare Forces when Shadowfright approaches her. Sunset takes out her weapon while Shadowfright takes out six more. "Six arms, really? That's a bit overkill don't you think?" Sunset says nervously. "You look like someone from a star wars movie like... General Grevious." Shadowfright growls at Sunset. "Okay, I have no idea why you're here but, if it's money your after I suggest you go rob a bank instead of this little shop I have going on here. So I'd really appreciate it if you'd, ya'know. Leave my brother and I alone." Shadowfright says nothing as he charges at Sunset with pure killing intent. Sunset uses her sword to block his strike, the general pushes all of his weight on Sunset making her kneel on the ground. The cobblestone path underneath them cracks.

"In the name of Nightmare moon, the spawn of the Sun must be destroyed." He slashed at Sunset's side and kicks her chest. Sunset covers her wound trying too stop the bleeding. "You have fought well for a child." Shadowfright says and points the tip of his sword at Sunset's neck. "But, you must be eliminated. Goodbye Sunset Shimmer."
