Revenge of the Chancellor: Part One
Bad News, Reinforcements, and Confusion
Previous ChapterNext ChapterOcellus woke up to the sound of wheels, and started coughing because she felt her lungs being squeezed. She ended up waking the rest of the students. No one could see, because they felt the tight hug of blindfolds on their heads. Neither could they move, due to being heavily restrained to the point of total immobility.
"Where are we?", Yona asked nervously.
"I think we're underground.", Ocellus responded instantly.
All six of them began to chatter their teeth in nervousness.

Back at the School, Royal Guards had put up a crime line, and Celestia was searching for clues. She sent Twilight to Ponyville's radio tower, instructing her to call their allies. Celestia was starting to become very nervous.
"Ponyville Tower to Lemurian Star; this is Twilight. Do you read me?", she called on the microphone.
"Lemurian Star, this is Brandon.", a voice responded quickly.
"We need you here ASAP.", Twilight said.
"Roger that, we're coming.", Brandon replied.
The ship arrived in 90 seconds, and Rarity shot a blast from her horn to give a bearing.
The ship landed in the woods and the crew arrived in jeeps in a flash. Suddenly, not two minutes later, Neighsay's EEA partners came rushing to the crime scene. They were not smiling, nor showing serious expressions. They looked concerned, and said something that made Celestia nervous. The member right below Neighsay, a unicorn named Parchment, explained the situation.
"We had gone to remind him of tomorrow's meeting, and he didn't answer. We kicked down the door, and looked EVERYWHERE for him. NOT A TRACE OF HIM AT ALL! The only other thing that stood out was scratches on the floor. They stopped at a place where we could hear a faint draft. We had to pry the floorboards because they were stuck, and found a shaft with a ladder in it.", he said.
"What was down there, sir?", Twilight asked curiously.
"There was not enough light to see all the way down, but when I reached in, I got burned by something.", Parchment replied as he held up his hoof that was now bandaged.
"We need to get there, NOW.", Link said in a fraction of a second.
"We can also say this. There was a map of Equestria in his bedroom, with a star drawn on Mount Everhoof. This is strange because nopony has ever gone there in the last 50 years. We couldn't tell if there was anything else on it. We only had a quick look.", Parchment said as the allies prepared to head for Canterlot.
