Chapter 60: Understand your surroundings


Knuckles lazily waited for the message to reveal. Suddenly JetStream felt something shock through him, and moments later Knuckles popped up, "It worked..." he shook his head.

"How did you do that?" JetStream looked at Knuckles.

"It's called telepathy, it lets somepony communicate through their own minds."

"It's honestly amazing." JetStream nodded as he turned to the bars.

"I know, and since I know it works, I'll try and get somebody else's attention too." he saw Twilight in her own cell, although JetStream thought she would've ended up in one with Celestia, it didn't matter. He prepared to use his telepathy once more. At first he sees everything with his Auric sight, and then he's able to get a better view of everything, and after that he tried to use it again, but it took a while.

"... Twilight..." she poked her head from where she crossed her hoofs.

"JetStream?" she wondered looking around the cell.

"... No I'm over here." JetStream waved to signal his position.

"Wait, your mouth isn't moving, is it-?"

"... Yes, I guess, it's telepathy, just keep your voice down too alright, I can understand you perfectly anyway..."

"Alright, but I'm more interested on how you learned telepathy." JetStream shrugged.

"... Experience? ..."

"You know I'm being serious right?"

"... Well I can tell now- ..." JetStream sunk to the floor, Knuckles saw this and walked up.

"You alright?"

"Yeah, this telepathy is very tiring..." JetStream stood back up and looked at Twilight.

"... Can you teleport me into your cell, I can't do this forever..." Twilight jumped.

"What? Aiming through these tiny holes?" JetStream looked at Knuckles, who shrugged.

"... Can you at least try? ..." Twilight rolled her eyes.

"Well, of course." JetStream smiled.

"... That's what I like to hear..." Twilight got into a defensive stance and pointed her horn through the bars and directly at JetStream, he nodded his head as he implied he was ready. Twilight shot her magical spurt and it went straight through the bars and directly to JetStream. He disappeared out of Knuckles's cell and appeared in the back of Twilight's cell. Twilight turned around as she heard it.

"Yes! It worked." she ecstatically stated. JetStream looked around.

"That's amazing... How much magic do you study? By the way..." Twilight held a hoof up to JetStream's mouth.

"Nuh-uh, not yet, we got to fix this first." JetStream lowered her hoof.

"Alright, that's a promise." Twilight nodded.

"Sure." JetStream walked up to the bars to tell Knuckles where he was, he then turned to Twilight.

"Now where are we?"

"I assumed we ended up in the castle's dungeon."

"Dungeon, you say?"

"Yes. I read it in one of the books in the library. One of the examples was even before of Celestia's rule." JetStream gasped.

"That's millennia ago."

"Yeah, that's what made it so interesting. The dungeon was made for ponies with a certain amount of bounty, as they called it." JetStream thought on the topic.

"Then what about ponies with more than that certain bounty?" Twilight sighed.

"Let's not go there."

"And just far down are we?" JetStream looked right.

"Quite a lot."

"Oh..." JetStream looked left afterward, "Where's, Celestia anyway?"

"Up there with Eggman..." one voice responded in a farther cell. JetStream jumped toward the bars.

"What!?" Twilight shushed him.

"Be quiet..."

"Sorry..." he turned toward.

"What do you mean, Celestia's up there?" the voice was Midnight Blossom's.

"They said something about a, roboticizing..." Knuckles grabbed the bars tightly.

"What!? He's up to that trick again..." JetStream was worried, apparently it was something they have already dealt with.

"Do you know how we could get out of here?" JetStream asked Twilight.

"I don't know, but we need to get Celestia outta there." Knuckles responded instead.
