Friendship is magic, right guys? Not if you lock sixteen ponies in a castle with no means of escape except for killing each other, in which case friendship is going to be really hard to get. Everypony gets suspicious of each other. Nopony trusts anyone. It's a total disaster. There are two sides that the ponies lack in attention to, but one seems to be luring them into its trap. The other desperately tries to pull them out. Who is in charge of this despairing ordeal? And for what cause...? Is there any hope left at all?
