Equestrian War

“Good Morning, Sis. I am aware that you have no recollection of what has happened over these past 20 years.” said Shining Armor.

Twilight nodded as a way of confirming what her brother had stated. Celestia spoke next.

“Six months after we ended the EEA, Neighsay tricked me and Luna into thinking that your Non-Pony students had betrayed and captured you and your friends. When we accepted his proposal to let him rule until the crisis was over, he revealed that we had been tricked. He had captured the seven of you himself and had placed you in unknown locations. Before we could confront him, he banished us from Equestria.”

“Not only has he done that, but he has even taken Spike and the students as hostages. He is holding them in Canterlot. He has even created an annual event in which representatives from each of the six races battle to the death on live stream until only one remains alive. Mom, Dad and I were supposed to be transferred to the area where all of the other ponies are, along with the Crystal Empire’s residents. Mom refused to bow to Admiral Neighsay and said we were fleeing. We were rescued by Luna and Celestia two years before I found you.” Flurry Heart added.

“I cannot believe this. He did all of this just because of my school?” Twilight yelped.

“I am afraid so.” Luna answered.

“This complex is in the Mysterious South.” Celestia said as she projected a map of Equestria.

A yellow star blinked in the location of the complex. Twilight had an idea.

“I wonder what will happen if I make this map behave like the cutie map in my castle.”

Celestia said it was worth a try, and sure enough, symbols began appearing for anyone that was ever called by the map. Twilight was confused when she saw Rainbow and Fluttershy’s cutie marks over the Celestial Sea and the South Luna Ocean.

“They have got to be in some sort of super strong air bubble, or they’d be dead by now.” Twilight said worriedly.

“It’s far more complicated than that, Aunt Twilight.” Flurry said. “Take a look at these pictures.”

She proceeded to pull out photographs from when she rescued Twilight.

“I WAS SUBMERGED IN FLUID?” Twilight shrieked.

“Yes, that is how I found you. There was an oxygen mask over your muzzle as well. According to something I saw in this complex, that process is called “Stasis”.” Flurry responded calmly.

“Stasis is a process in which the subject is sedated, or put to sleep, with an anesthetic. They are then placed in either a cold chamber or a fluid filled capsule. The subject usually wakes up once they are taken out. However, Flurry said there was a timer on the pod. This suggests that Neighsay wanted you and your friends to remain in stasis for fifty years.” Cadence reported.

After the meeting was finished, Flurry took Twilight to the vehicle bay to show her the lineup of vehicles they had commandeered. Twilight’s eyes grew large when the lights were turned on. She was absolutely floored by all of the aircrafts, land vehicles, submarines, and small boats. She was also shocked when looking at the armory, because she had never seen weapons like them. She soon began gearing up for the dangerous rescue missions.
