The Summoner, a rather clumsy individual, but still retains much competence, should the need for combat arise. Deciding to head out to his personal fortress that he reconstructed from an ancient, abandoned castle, he wished to recline. Preferably, to gain some sleep.

However, his arrival to his fort brought purely dismay and anger from him. In the distance, he could see a tear in reality. The tear was much like the ones he uses to transport his minions, but, this one was foreign to him.

Then he could see them, an army of equines, dragons, gryphons, and a miscellany of other Equestrian inhabitants. But what kindled further in his mind was his ire as he saw none other than his ally, Chrysalis, the Queen of the changelings, being coerced into following the army.

The Summoner, although his forces were formidable, he lost. With the adverse army fleeing, he is left completely homeless and without the assistance of an ally... If you can consider Chrysalis an ally, anyways.

The Choten, leader of a small army of Equestrian natives, Lord of the Fire Civilization and the puppet master behind the Water Civilization, public enemy number one and all around good guy (to his friends) is not someone who you want to anger. But someone has angered him. Someone has dared to cross him. Someone managed to catch him off guard as he inspected a veil breach. But before he was able to catch the perpetrator, they fled through a portal in the air.

The Overlord. A dark and enigmatic man with multiple plans and unknown goals. An ancient evil that had faded to legend, only to return along with his Mistress. A man of few words, he is not someone to cross or take lightly. But someone did... Someone dared to enter his domain, to steal his most prized possession and then try to blackmail him with it...

As despair, and, or, unrivaled indignation and anger engulf the minds of our "heroes", a being, a rather familiar one, that is, decides to offer them something that they are unable to decline:

The chance to have their revenge.
