The team ran down the stairs and quickly restrained Neighsay. Twilight turned the power back on and put on a thermal suit that was hung next to Smolder's cell. As she tried to find out what was happening, the medics showed up. Brandon rushed to help Twilight open the door which was frozen shut. They soon found out what was going on with the poor dragon. They were startled at their sight when they hoisted Smolder out of a tank of fluid and freed her from the shackles. She was covered in ice, shivering, and sneezing. To make matters worse, her skin had changed color.
"He is crazy. This is liquid nitrogen. Smolder has severe hypothermia.", Brandon yelped as he tested the fluid she had been submerged in.
Upon hearing that, Twilight yelled for a heated blanket and Smolder was quickly wrapped up. Five minutes later, she was able to move on her own, and started blowing her nose. The team moved on to free the rest of the prisoners while Ariel changed Flurry Heart and sent her back home with a teleporter. Sandbar was only being struck multiple times with hard rubber strips. He had disgusting welts and needed ice to stop the swelling. Neighsay awoke all of a sudden and began thrashing in rage.
"HOW DO YOU LIKE BEING PUNISHED, PRINCESS?", he shouted before Celestia gagged him.
"Twilight, I think you're going to have a harder time rescuing Gallus. He doesn't look swift, and there is a "DANGER" sticker on the door.", Celestia said.
Celestia was correct. Gallus had been getting squirted violently with a powerful acid that could dissolve skin if used too vigorously. This was worse than Smolder's deep freeze because when Twilight went in to get him out, she had to wear a hazmat suit and get decontaminated after emerging. Gallus was placed in a chamber that contained and absorbed the toxic acid. Ocellus was showing signs of something scary. After Twilight turned the power back on, Brandon saw smoke coming off of the machine she was hooked to. Her heart rate was completely out of whack as well. Brandon broke open the door, grounded himself, and closed a water valve before a timer reached zero. She had been getting tortured by electroshock therapy, with the amounts getting higher and higher. Although, it was being done in a weird manner. She would get sprayed with four water jets which would become electrified after three seconds of the water starting. Luckily, this only happened every 2 hours.
She had been zapped only 4 times. The amount at the fourth shock was the equivalent of a cattle prod. The gauge said that the next zap would be enough to kill her. Nevertheless, she was in cardiac arrest. She was put on a ventilator and hooked to an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) right away. Silverstream was being burned with flamethrowers and then getting dunked in boiling vegetable oil. The burns were too disgusting for Twilight to look at without throwing up. Burn cream and ice packs were given at once to numb the areas. Yona was in the flat-out WORST condition. Hard pieces of metal were swung at her, which broke multiple bones and created ugly bruises. On top of that, blades were slashed at her. She was bleeding heavily, and Twilight had tears in her eyes.
"Poor things.", she choked out as Brandon and Link began wrapping Yona in bandages.
The teams began moving the injured students, taking them to the hospital in Canterlot. They were admitted at once, and got put in private rooms. Neighsay was held on board the Lemurian Star, under tight security until he would go to court the next day.
