There is absolutely no way that a child managed to doom all of Equestria, right? Especially not all on her own! Something else is at play here. Something deeper, stranger, and now, said child has been punished to the full extent of the law.

Well, this will not stand. Twilight Sparkle needs to rescue this foal secretly-- No child should suffer this heavy of a punishment. But to keep appearances, she will have to put this task on a trustworthy friend.

Now it's up to Starlight Glimmer to find a way to break into and out of Tartarus, all to rescue a child they presume to be innocent.
