Plot[]

Optimus Prime, Twilight Sparkle and the rest of their friends have been suffering from nightmares for a week, and decide to hold a slumber party together to figure out what is going on. During the night, Twilight and the rest of the Mane Six are abducted by a dark miasma. The others learn from Princess Luna that the Mane Six have been taken by the same forces that transformed her into the evil Nightmare Moon to serve as their queen. Accompanied by Luna and Spike, the Autobots, Starlight Glimmer, Trixie and Discord venture into the forces' domain to rescue Twilight and her friends. When they arrive, they find that the Mane Six have been transformed into the nightmare forces' new queens, the Nightmare Mane Six, after being convinced that the Autobots care little for them. The Autobots, Starlight, Trixie and Discord are overwhelmed by the nightmare forces and locked up. Starlight urges Luna to return to Ponyville to prepare the citizens of there and Cybertron. Spike manages to elude the Nightmare Mane Six as they depart for Ponyville with their forces, and rescues the others. Luna and the other citizens of Ponyville and Cybertron defend themselves against the Nightmare Mane Six, giving enough time for Optimus, Spike, and the others to arrive. Using the power of their friendship, the Autobots and their allies revert the corrupted nightmare creatures into docile moon creatures. They turn this and their thoughts of the Mane Six to the Nightmare Mane Six, and finally dispel the evil spirits. Luna and the moon creatures thank the ponies for their help before leaving, while the Mane Six are thankful for their friends' support.
