As time went by, their efforts to keep the peace and maintain balance have grown tougher and tougher, and by the time Scar came into the picture, their efforts in dealing with him have come at a price.
Following the shocking turn of events that led to the fall of the Pride Lands along with the devastating betrayal of Twilight Sparkle which no one saw coming, the Lion and Pony Guard have to relocate for the time being, along with many of the Pride Landers forced out of their homes by Scar.
In order to defeat Scar and seek their fallen friend's forgiveness and reformation, they must figure out the magical chest containing the elements locked inside and how to unlock it. But in order to do that they need to stay true to their elements and prove that friendship is indeed magic. And that's going to be tough when Scar has eyes watching over them every second of the way as he nears total victory with said eyes set on taking Equestria too.
Will the Magic of Friendship along with the combined teamwork of the Lion and Pony Guard prevail to save the day, purge Twilight Sparkle of her inner dark side coming out in full force, stop Scar from taking over, and take back the Pride Lands?
