Following the disastrous Fall Formal, a massive blue beam shoots into the darkening sky, accompanied solely by the moon's glow. Students, including yourself, rush to the school's entrance and watch in awe as Sunset Shimmer is lifted into the air, transforming into a full-fledged demon.

"I've had to jump through so many hoops tonight, just to get my hands on this crown and it really should have been mine all along! But let's let bygones be bygones. I am your princess now. And you will be loyal to ME!"

Sunset Shimmer addresses you and your fellow students as she wields her magic to tear a hole in the entrance of the school, effortlessly casting aside the debris, and causing the students to scatter. While ensnaring them under her control, she inexplicably spares you, offering you a rare opportunity amidst the chaos.

"You there! I'm giving you a chance to prove your worth. Will you join me, or will I have to influence you as well?"
