Plot
Sometime after Twilight and Sun's people made peace, they now live together in harmony. Dusk and Dawn have stayed best friends, hanging out after a celebration party in Sun's palace while Dawn plans on professing her love to Dusk. One day, the pair receive a message from a nearby land called the Belt of Venus that they are plotting to overtake both Dusk and Dawn's home, unless they want to make peace with them. Dusk and Dawn recruit the humanoid Keeper and his tribe to learn more about the Belt of Venus. A meeting in the tribe's home is disrupted when a bolt of lightning from the Belt of Venus hits Dusk and Dawn's home, forcing everyone to evacuate.

Dusk and Dawn enlist their friend Light alongside Twilight, Sun and Keeper to embark on an adventure to find the Belt of Venus. Meanwhile, Venus talks with Twilight's fellow periods Blue and Golden that Dusk, Dawn and their tribe evacuated their home. He confesses that Twilight was once his follower but he abandoned him for being disrespectful towards everyone in Twilight's palace. Blue and Golden find Dawn and convince her to visit the Belt of Venus, making her separate from Dusk and the rest of the group.

By the time Dawn eventually arrives at the Belt, Venus guides her through the rest of the Belt and joins her for dinner, but she did not accept it. Despite hearing this, Venus automatically takes Dawn to dinner. Suddenly, Venus' playful pets started to have a food fight with Dawn at dinner and they tried to help her leave the Belt and reunite her friends, but Venus and his guards imprison her. At the same time, Dusk and his group notice that Dawn has gone missing and they attempt to find her, but no avail, making Dusk depressed.

The next day, Venus lets Dawn free out of her cell and decides to spend more time on the Belt, much to the delight of the others. Dawn later discovers that Venus was not only Twilight's former follower, but he had also once met Sun ever since Dawn was young. Later, Dusk and his group finally find Dawn in the Belt of Venus, but somehow both of them get into an argument when not only Dusk can't find Dawn a long time but also can't decide whenever they can spend time on the Belt or not. Dawn refuses to believe what Dusk said and ends her friendship with him, causing him and the group to turn against Dawn.

After Dusk and Dawn reconcile, Venus traps both of them and reveals that he has actually been plotting to seize both Twilight and Sun's homes by wiping everyone out while pursing them to stay in the Belt of Venus. Dusk and Dawn refuse to believe that, and Venus gets outraged and injures Dusk. This in turn causes Dawn to attack him for hurting her friend. The duo begin to fight Venus, who calls his henchmen. Dusk, Dawn, Light, Twilight, Sun, Keeper, Blue, Golden and the others team up to defeat Venus's minions. Suddenly, Venus grabs Dawn but Sun rescues her own creation and they escape safely, leaving behind a furious Venus with the Belt destroyed, causing him to vanish completely.

Dusk and Dawn, along with the rest of their friends, return back home. While everyone celebrates the pair's bravery, Twilight and Sun credit them for saving their homes, and Dawn explains to Dusk that "someone manipulating you is not the right thing to do because it's what friends are always for," again resuming their relationship.
