Equestrian War

Neighsay ordered the crystal containers to be brought to a room in the palace where they were set up in front of a massive screen. One by one, he snagged Spike and the Young Six. Some of them tried to fight back and defend themselves, but he managed to stun them. He bound them and put them into the crystals which were being filled with the oily fluid. When they woke up, they were submerged in the liquid and breathing through oxygen masks. Yona, being claustrophobic, started to panic and the fluid began bubbling and gurgling as she breathed out rapidly. None of them knew that they were hooked to IV lines. She was sedated to prevent the crystal from being shattered. Smolder became furious and discovered that the masks had microphones and speakers on them.

“Why are you doing this?” she demanded.

“I have seized control of Equestria and am taking revenge against Twilight and the royal sisters for reopening that Friendship school.” Neighsay shot back.

Neighsay did not tell them what his plan was, but they feared that it would be something terrible. Knowing that there was nothing for them to see, he proceeded to put the others to sleep. He would wake them up at a later time when everything was ready.

Meanwhile, Luna and Celestia started planning how they would take their thrones back from Neighsay. They knew it would take more than just charging in and yanking him out. So, they started looking for a place to set up a base until they were ready. Surprisingly enough, they found an unused weapon and command center that was built inside a cavern in the Mysterious South. Looking around inside, they found high-tech gadgets that they had never seen before. These included air vehicles, computers, weapons, medical equipment, and recovery chambers with troughs that would fill with a healing fluid around the victim. They searched for a power source and eventually found a large reactor in a massive room. They spotted twelve crystals and placed them inside the reactor’s core, which suddenly sparked when the last one was inserted. The reactor purred to life and all of the lights began coming on.

“This place is perfect!” the sisters crowed as they left the power room.

Checking a clock, they saw that night was falling. So, they found a door labeled “Barracks” and climbed into two of the beds.
