Spike had watched them fade but they were not gone. The Elements of Harmony, long since taken back from the tree to fight off one of Equestria's enemies, now sit dormant in Spike's everfree cave. Though Equestria has ever been the peace loving center of harmony it has never been short on enemies and now that the six mares that were its greatest defence have passed away it is only a matter of time until these enemies decide to strike.
Now Spike must do his part to ensure the safety of the nation that raised him.
Spike and a few visitors looks back on the ponies they once knew as Twilight is on her deathbed and her mind gives away.
More than a century after the events of the show Equestria still needs it's greatest defence and Spike is tasked with finding new bearers for the Elements of Harmony.
