Long ago, two princesses ruled over Equestria:Celestia and Luna.

One day, Discord, the evil draquonicaus, took over, brining Equestria into total chaos. It wasn't until Celestia and Luna discovered the Elements from the Tree that they could turn Discord into stone, wielding their power.

Celestia had also used this power to banish Nightmare Moon to the moon. But soon afterwards, the Elements had been sealed into stone. The prophecy stated that Nightmare Moon would return in 1000 years.

Indeed she did return, and even destroyed the Elements! However, this is when Celestia's student, Twilight Sparkle made an astonishing discovery:The power of the elements were actually within the six harmonic traits. They were able to put the Elements back together, and use their power to reform Princess Luna. That is when she discovered that friendship is the strongest magic, as it elements together. With the power of the Elements, they could stop any threat to Equestria.

Soon, she was ready to become a princess herself, the princess of friendship. She eventually gave up the elements, but the power of friendship remained within them. In fact, with the power of a special chest, they had acess to something known as "Rainbow Power", one they unlocked with six keys, one for each element.

Next came a student named Starlight Glimmer, who looked like a promising sucessor to Twilight, who was eventually sent away after the reforming of the changelings. The six heroes continued to spread the magic of friendship across Eqeustria..

Until the heroes all perished. We don't know what happened, but Starlight Glimmer had become the new princess of friendship. But this posed a problem. With the six element-bearers gone, Equestria no lomger had any defense against certain threats. Any day, the next evil could try to take over Equestria.. and actually succeed.

Sunlight Sparkle, determined to not let such a thing happen, is now working on scientifically deducing how the Elements of Harmony worked-The one, magic thing that gets the Elements to allow you to wield them. The scientist would not take "friendship" for an answer:She viewed the elements as no more than magical artifacts that give immense power to their weilders, and was determined to find out how wielding them worked, what the chemical structure of them were, so that she may perhaps create more elements-Then she could use those, and allow the elements giving magic to the Tree to keep giving magic to the Tree.

But, as Princess Starlight puts it, you can't break the magic of friendship down to a science.. Or can you..?
