Things had finally started looking up for Equestria. Civilizations combined, worlds intertwined. Thus making all ponies and ponies alike have more human qualities, such as standing and hands. Hooves, tail, ears, and wings/horn remain.

There are always the bad in changes. Even if it is for the better. Equestria collided with reality, causing a rift in the timeline.

Any being from Equestria was hunted and placed into confinement. Magic was sucked from unicorns, and ponies lost their freedom.
