Summary
The story starts off with Cheerilee taking her students to a museum. Two fillies discover a hidden statue depicting a dark warrior named Revelian Zeronius. The museum curator discovers the fillies and leads them back to the class. Afterwards, the statue inexplicably shatters.

Sometime later, Twilight Sparkle heads to the museum to investigate. The curator tells Twilight about the statue, stating that it was an artistic piece of Revelian Zeronius, one of the worst threats Equestria has faced. Twilight, bewildered, gathers the rest of the Mane 6 and heads to Canterlot to confront Princess Celestia to get answers.

When she arrives, she tells Celestia of the statue. Celestia becomes shocked that Twilight had actually found out about Revelian. She then leads the ponies to a hidden room, which contained several murals of Revelian's exploits. Celestia leads the Mane 6 around the room, telling them of Revelian's evil, as well as informing them that the Elements of Harmony cannot defeat Revelian. She explains to them of the Elements of Emotion, which were made to keep the emotions of ponies balanced. She tells them that she combined the Elements of Harmony with the Elements of Emotion and barely managed to defeat Revelian. She leads the ponies back to the throne room.

Much to everyone's horror, Revelian indeed returns, materializing in the center of the room. He mocks the ponies, attacks Rainbow Dash, and kidnaps Fluttershy, in order to lead the ponies to a trap. Celestia sends the ponies off to the abandoned opera house in order to save Fluttershy.
