Izzy leads the group to the Bridlewood Forest, the home of all unicorns. during the camp, Izzy reveals to Sunny that the poster invitation she made with her father was what made her want to go to Maritime Bay. after consideration, Hitch and Pipp agree to help the others find the other crystal and together they camp for the night. all 5 ponies escape Zephyr Heights and discuss the situation. while they attempt to escape the palace, they accidentally enter the control room where the stallion controlling the lights and wire movements get horrified by the non-Pegasus ponies and accidentally freezes the wires and lights in the wrong place, causing Pipp to be revealed to not fly and Hitch losing his disguise in public. Hitch also disguises as a Pegasus and sneaks in. while Pipp performs her new single "Glowin' Up", Sunny and Izzy sneak in with Zipp and replace Haven's crown with a fake while she is distracted by Pipp's singing. that night, the royals host a pop concert at the Zephyr Heights Palace with all the pegasi in the city. they plan to steal the crown in order to get the crystal. they realise that the magic must have disappeared due to a crisis related to the crystals, and that one of the crystals is part of Queen Haven's crown. Zipp shows the two friends her room in the palace, and they notice an image on the window of two magical crystals. but when they are left alone, her older sister (who is also a scientist, sports athlete and detective), Princess Zephyrina "Zipp" Storm, frees and befriends them and reveals to them that royal pegasi only fake flying via see-through wires and no pegasi can actually fly.

in the dungeon, Haven's younger daughter (who is also a pop icon and social media superstar), Princess Phillippa "Pipp" Petals, tells them that only the royal family can fly. but once there they are captured and imprisoned by their ruler, Queen Haven. determined to discover deeper, Sunny and Izzy become friends and travel to the city of Zephyr Heights, the home of the pegasi. but Izzy tells Sunny that no unicorn has had any magic for generations. after Sunny and Izzy escape Maritime Bay, Sunny asks Izzy if she has any magic. Sprout eventually becomes a dark evil dictator-like mayor obsessed with power and takes rule of Maritime Bay. as sheriff, Sprout turns the citisens of Maritime Bay into a hostile army and uses Phyllis' factory to construct a giant mechanical war machine called the "Sproutous Maximus", secretly planning to destroy all non-Earth ponies and rule Equestria. Hitch sets off to search for them, leaving a jealous Sprout in charge as substitute sheriff. suddenly a curious unicorn named Isobella "Izzy" Moonbow appears at Maritime Bay, Sunny saves her from being arrested by Hitch and Sprout and escapes Maritime Bay with her. whilst Sunny still is determined to fix Equestria, she is failing and her friends still do not believe her.

things in Maritime Bay are only worse now that Sprout's mother, Phyllis Cloverleaf, has founded a security company called "Canterlogic" to attack non-Earth ponies. years pass after Sunny's father has died, Sunny and her friends are now grown up and Hitch works as Maritime Bay's Sheriff (Sprout assists Hitch as Deputy sheriff). and, hoping to one day prove it to Equestria (especially Sunny's two friends, Sprout Cloverleaf and Hitch Trailblazer), make a homemade poster invitation to the Earth pony seaside town of Maritime Bay which they off in a red lantern. an orange Earth pony, Sunny Starscout, is told by her father that the legend is real. due to magic now being a myth, all ponies believe other ponies are evil. Twilight and the Mane 6 are now merely a legend, which barely anypony believes in. Many generations after the events of Princess Twilight Sparkle in the fourth generation ("Friendship Is Magic" and "My Little Pony: The Movie"), the land of Equestria is now entirely three-dimensional and all breeds of ponies - Earth ponies, Unicorn ponies and Pegasi ponies - all live separately apart.
