Scootaloo returns to Ponyville after missing for nearly five months, and not only does she have her cutie mark but she can fly. Though there's something very strange about her, not the least of which being a magical necklace and a strange mark on her neck–she was adopted by an extremely powerful and mysterious man named Zander Sanchez. The eponymous man has arrived in Equestria, bringing with him visions of conquest, power, and grandeur with no intent to leave empty-handed. With the end of Equestria looming around the corner, the lives of Scootaloo, her friends, and all those around her are about to change forever.
