## Summary

### The shape shifting ponies' epic sacrifice

1,000 years prior, Equestria was a prosperous magical land when evil spirits called the Stone Seeker began to ravage everything. They absorbed souls, turning those into stone. Eventually, the shape shifting ponies of Equestria used what was left of their magic to create an orb that not only warded off the Stone Seeker, but also restored ponies and creatures to life, with the exception of the shape shifting ponies who remained turned to stone. The ponies and creatures all wanted the power of the orb which ultimately divided them into tribes based on their placement of a giant river made to resemble Equestria. Canterlot acquired the orb and has been guarding it ever since.

### The wedding announcement

Spike delivers a letter from Princess Celestia to Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack. In the letter, Princess Celestia asks Twilight and her friends to help with the upcoming royal wedding in Canterlot. Applejack will provide catering for the reception, Pinkie Pie will host it, Fluttershy will train and conduct the bird choir, Rainbow Dash will perform a sonic rainboom during the ceremony, and Rarity will design the wedding dresses. Twilight receives the keystone job of overseeing the preparations.

Twilight is shocked to learn that the bride and groom are "Princess Mi Amore Cadenza" and Twilight's brother, Shining Armor. Twilight is upset because he never told her about his wedding or Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. In a song called B.B.B.F.F. ("Big Brother Best Friend Forever"), Twilight recalls how she and Shining Armor used to do everything together, and how much she misses him.

### Arriving at Canterlot

On the train ride to Canterlot, everyone except Twilight happily discusses the wedding, and only Applejack notices Twilight's glumness. Upon inquiry, Twilight says that she is still thinking about Shining Armor's neglect of her, though Applejack tells her not to worry.

At Canterlot, it is evident that there has been an increase in security: the train passes through a pink protective sphere encasing the city, there are many guards at the station, and Princess Celestia keeps watch with the aid of a telescope from the balcony of the highest tower. Shining Armor is happy to see his sister and affectionately calls her "Twily.” Twilight immediately berates him for not telling her about the wedding, but Shining Armor explains that he had no choice and Princess Celestia wanted an increase in security in response to an exterior threat. Twilight concedes but remains hurt. Shining Armor reassures her that she has always been, and always will be, important to him, and asks her to be his Best Mare as they look at the gem and the tribes arriving.

Shining Armor explains that Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is the full name of Cadance, Twilight's former foalsitter. Twilight proclaims her to be "beautiful, caring, and kind" and "the best foalsitter ever.” A flashback shows that filly Twilight and Cadance used to frolic in the park, play on the swings, and resolve lovers' quarrels. Twilight remembers their chant:

*"Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake!"*

Twilight sees Cadance and eagerly reminds her of their chant. However, Cadance fails to recognize it and proves indifferent to Twilight. Shining Armor announces that Cadance will be monitoring the wedding planning. When he says that they are happy to have Twilight there, Cadance smiles at Twilight malevolently.

### Welcoming the tribes of Equestria

The, the tribes arrive from the Dragon lands, Crystal Empire, Ponyville, Saddle Arabia to Manehattan and mysterious changeling disguised as Princess Amore. Shining Armor welcomes them to their wedding and it's a new day to become a united Equestria. The tribes enter Canterlot as they talk about the old days and the sacred relic.

### Directing the preparations

Twilight begins overseeing the wedding preparations, starting in a castle kitchen Applejack has been provided. When Cadance shows up to check the catering, Applejack offers her an apple fritter, which Cadance insincerely calls "delicious.” Applejack gives Cadance a bag of fritters in case she forgets to stop for a meal, but when Applejack turns around, Cadance tosses the fritters into the trash.

Twilight, incensed by Cadance's ingratitude, visits Rarity, who is working in the tower room she stayed at in Sweet and Elite. Twilight begins to describe Cadance's temperamental behavior, but Cadance arrives with her bridesmaids, (Lyra Heartstrings, Minuette, and Twinkleshine). Cadance ignores Rarity’s greeting and appraises her dress. She says that she was hoping for more beading and a longer train, and turns her attention to the bridesmaids' dresses. Displeased, she demands that Rarity make them in a different color, despite the fact that her bridesmaids love their dresses. Rarity is more than happy to comply with the royal demands, but Twilight calls Cadance "Princess Demandi Pants" when Cadance is out of earshot.

After nightfall, Cadance meets Pinkie Pie inside the castle ballroom. Pinkie presents her flamboyant reception plans, which include a board game, carnival music, and dancing. Cadance compares the setup to a "party for a six-year old,” although Pinkie Pie is oblivious to the insult. Meanwhile, Twilight has been eavesdropping on their exchange.

### Disbelief

Princess Luna enters the shield and switches places with Princess Celestia on the tower balcony for the night. Meanwhile, the six friends and Spike are sipping drinks after a day of work. Twilight seizes the opportunity to find fault with Cadance, calling her the "absolute worst bride-to-be ever.” However, her friends rationalize Cadance's behavior. Fluttershy mentions that Cadance criticized one of the choir birds during rehearsal, but the bird in question was off-key. The friends suggest that Twilight is still being excessively protective of her brother, but Twilight insists that her friends are too preoccupied with wedding preparations to notice Cadance's attitude. Frustrated, she storms off.

### Talking to Shining Armor

Twilight visits her brother's house and tries to talk to him privately, but is interrupted by Cadance, who is also intent on speaking with him. Twilight watches Cadance scold Shining Armor about a crest he is planning to wear with his dress uniform, which belonged to his favorite uncle. Shining Armor protests and Cadance swiftly casts a spell on him, making him to go wall-eyed. Frightened, Twilight runs away. Shining Armor sees Twilight running off and wonders what she wanted to tell him.

### Attempting to warn everyone

Twilight runs to the castle to where her friends are staying. Her friends explain that Cadance has chosen them to be her new bridesmaids, and they interpret it as a reward for their diligence and evidence of Cadance’s good intentions. Nobody knows where the former bridesmaids are or listens to Twilight's warning. Twilight leaves, saying, "Looks like I really am on my own."

The wedding rehearsal takes place the next day, but Twilight is not there. When Shining Armor turns to take his wedding ring, Twilight bursts into the wedding hall, proclaiming that neither she nor Shining Armor should stand next to Cadance. Ignoring the inquiries of Fluttershy and Applejack, she approaches the podium and points at Cadance, crying, "She's EVIL!" While aggressively cornering Cadance, Twilight condemns Cadance's behavior towards her friends, the sudden disappearance of the bridesmaids, and the spell that was toxic she cast on Shining Armor.

Cadance, bewildered by Twilight's accusations, runs away in tears. Twilight chases her out and proudly trots back into the hall. However, Shining Armor contradicts each of Twilight’s accusations. He claims that Cadance's magic was intended to alleviate his migraines, which were caused by 24/7 maintenance of the protective magic barrier; Cadance replaced her bridesmaids because of their apparently shallow motivations; and her brusque behavior towards Twilight's friends appeared to be due to the stress of having to make all of the decisions for the wedding in her groom’s absence defending Canterlot.

Shining Armor contrasts Cadance's efforts with Twilight's apparent lack of concern for the wedding. He dismisses Twilight from her position as Best Mare and suggests that she not attend the wedding at all. Her friends and Princess Celestia also leave to check on Cadance. Twilight is left in the wedding hall alone, where she laments the loss of a brother and a potential sister. She begins to doubt her opinion of Cadance.

### Nightmare Moon's new vessel

When Twilight Sparkle is still in the hall on the floor crying as the betrayal of her friends, assistant, teacher and brother stung her heart and soul, Nightmare Moon came up out of nowhere with the blue night mist. She then flew to Twilight and began to comfort her. Twilight sees her and gasps as she recognized her. Nightmare Moon chuckles and assures her that she's not after revenge on her while she's clearly at her lowest point right now. She tells her that she can tell she's feeling sad and betrayed by her friends, teacher and brother before offering to take the pain away if she becomes her new vessel. Twilight accepts and lets her into her body. The spirit of Nightmare Moon, then, enters Twilight's body through her horn and starts feeding Twilight's mind with her dark magic; slowly influencing her to the dark side.

When Twilight is still in the hall (with Nightmare Moon's spirit in her body), Cadance appears and comforts her, stroking her mane affectionately. When Twilight apologizes, Cadance's eyes turn green, and she says that Twilight *will* be sorry. Cadance summons a ring of green fire, which engulfs Twilight in a sphere of energy. Cadance walks out of the room as the sphere and Twilight (with Nightmare Moon's spirit in her body) sink into the ground.

### Trapped

Princess Cadance’s imposter has trapped Twilight Sparkle in the caves beneath Canterlot. The image of her false form appears on the crystal walls, and she hints at her plans for Shining Armor and taunts Twilight. Twilight shoots magic at the cackling reflections, Nightmare moon tells Twilight Sparkle to punish Cadence who is the queen of changelings Chrysalis and punish the traitors and leave the traitors lonely and devastated. Twilight accepts to Nightmare Moon's deal as Twilight's eyes become purple with her pupils turning into cat slits and her teeth become razor sharp fangs. to reveal the real Princess Cadance, startled and disheveled. Twilight quickly has Cadance at her mercy, believing her to be the imposter. Cadance pleads with her, telling her that she had also been imprisoned inside the cave, but Twilight doesn't believe her. Cadance finally recites the "Sunshine, Sunshine" rhyme she had taught Twilight as her foal-sitter, which the imposter didn't know. Twilight's suspicions are banished, and the two embrace. Twilight also told Cadence about what happened before she was sent down here, much to her foal-sitter's shock and fury.

### Race to the Wedding

In the song This Day Aria, Cadence's imposter sings about how her plans will come to fruition as she prepares for the wedding in Canterlot, and the real Cadance sings about her determination to save her fiancé as she and Twilight try to find a way out of the crystal caves. After the song ends, a camera pan shows that Cadance and Twilight are beneath the hall where the wedding ceremony is starting. Twilight teleports herself and Cadance to the cave's exit, but they are confronted by the bridesmaids: Minuette, Lyra Heartstrings, and Twinkleshine.

### Chrysalis reveals herself

Celestia is about to pronounce the couple mare and colt when Twilight and Cadance burst in. A flashback reveals that Cadance and Twilight distracted the bewitched bridesmaids with a bouquet of flowers before escaping from the cave. She declares the imposter to be a changeling, a creature that takes the form of a loved one and gains power by feeding off of love. The imposter, enraged, reveals her true form: Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings. Chrysalis says that Equestria has more love than any place she's ever encountered, and conquering Equestria will give her and her changeling army more power than they've ever dreamed of. Even as she speaks, the changeling army is battering away at Canterlot's defenses.

### Twilight's transformation into the new Nightmare Moon

Suddenly, Twilight yells at Chrysalis that she will never succeed in taking over Equestria as she feels Nightmare Moon's spirit's darkness taking over her. Chrysalis mocks Twilight, asking her what she's going to do to stop her when her loved ones all betrayed her at the rehearsal. Nightmare Moon uses her dark magic to push Queen Chrysalis away from Twilight. Chrysalis hits a wall all beaten up and bruised. Twilight growls at a beaten up Chrysalis saying, "I'll show you how!" as Nightmare Moon fully corrupts Twilight. Twilight's friends, Spike and Celestia use a spell to snap Shining Armor out of Chrysalis's spell and he watches as well as the transformation begins. Nightmare moon fully corrupts Twilight into Nightmare Nova.

### The traitor's regret

As the ponies run away screaming, the traitors ask what Twilight Sparkle was now. Nightmare Nova growls with a dragon's and shows them what happened much to everypony's regret, shock, and sadness, Nightmare Sparkle betrays the traitors and teleports herself (with the traitors and the Element of Dark Magic on Nightmare Sparkle's head) into the gem's chamber and uses a smoke signal to the ponies and her guards that she found the gem. Celestia, Shining Armor, Spike and the mane 5 teleport Luna to tell her what happened to Twilight. Shocked and determined, Luna says she'll help them free Twilight from Nightmare Moon's corruption. The rest of the tribes, Nightmare Nova's guards, the creatures and the ponies find out and a fight breaks out, resulting in the orb smashing to pieces. The Stone Seeker suddenly reawaken as each of the tribes steal a piece and Nightmare Nova (With Princess Cadence joining her side as warrior princess) also steals one and teleports away from the tribes and the traitors. Nightmare Nova uses her magic to make her own Nightmare Castle and uses dark purple lava filled moat (with dark purple lava waterfalls, dark purple lava pools and lava lakes) to protect her kingdom against the Stone Seeker before training Cadence to defeat her enemies and become a skilled alicorn warrior. Back at Canterlot, Twilight's friends, Luna, Celestia, the CMCs, Shining Armor and Spike try to rescue the Unicorn guard, but he tells them to flee with the piece they have as he turns to stone. Twilight's friends, Luna, Celestia, the CMCs, Shining Armor and Spike (except Pinkie Pie) lament over what they did. Pinkie Pie comes up with an idea to find the last female shape shifting pony and tell her what happen and help her free Twilight from Nightmare Moon's corruption.
