Even after receiving the notice that he was released from house arrest, Neighsay was still upset with Celestia for ending the EEA and allowing Twilight to reopen her school. He had finished his plans and was ready to carry them out. He started investigating the outskirts of Equestria, looking for something that would be of use for him. He came across seven underground strongholds in uncharted locations outside of Equestria. Each one had a large holding tank that would fill with a liquid gel. If someone were inside the tank, they’d be protected from the elements. The tanks were also equipped with timers, which would count down to whenever the tank was set to drain.

“These are just what I need,” Neighsay said to himself as he took notes of where the strongholds were.

He did not know who built the strongholds, but he didn’t care. He also managed to locate seven crystal-shaped containers, which were large enough to put someone inside. These were made to be filled with a containment liquid that was the viscosity of canola oil. These did not have timers, so whoever was inside could be taken out at any time.

Celestia thought nothing of this. She thought that Neighsay was out seeing the world and learning about the various other races. While she was right about him seeing the world, she was wrong about him learning about the other races. He was looking at them from a distance and snarling at them. He knew that there was a hydroelectric dam being built at Neighagra Falls, and he hoped to use it as a power source when he rose to power. Twilight had seen him at one point with a camera and taking pictures of her, her friends, and the Young Six. She suspected that he was up to something and wrote down what she knew. She did not know that she was too late to send her findings to Celestia. Neighsay had gotten agitated when he saw an article that the Non-Pony students had become teacher’s aides. He decided that he should strike that night. So, he gathered the supplies he needed for keeping his targets asleep, and waited for the time to be right.
