"Why and how did you open this door? Explain yourselves!" One of the captors demanded.
"Because we-" Luna said before she was interrupted by a prod from a spear. "Hey, stop it!"
"Scale, I told you NOT to prod them!" A female voice said from behind the throne.
The cloaked captor quickly withdrew his spear, and made a low buzzing sound.
Discord heard it instantly. "Say, Moon Butt, what makes buzzing noises and likes to overthrow princesses?" He asked.
Luna looked at him with a sneer. "Discord, this is no time for charades! We are being held captive by these... uhm, these..." Luna then understood what he meant. "Oh I see."
The 'captors' were now shuffling around nervously.
The female voice spoke once again, with a chuckle this time. "Oh please! You'd think the princess of the night would've figured it out faster, but no! The animal collage has to hint it to her!"
Along with the voice, Celestia was heard chuckling as well.
That made Luna remember why she was in there. "What did you do to her, Chrysallis?"
The answer was a chuckle that soon evolved into a full-blown hysterical laugh. Celestia then walked out from behind the throne room, only to have a book thrown at her face by Luna.
"I know it is you, Bug Queen! Stop using my sister's image, NOW!" Luna shouted as she grabbed a whole bookshelf with her magic.
Celestia's eyes opened wide as she saw the bookcase floating in front of her, and by pure chance, Chrysallis chose that moment to walk out from behind the throne. As soon as Luna saw her, she shot the bookcase at her.
She took it as well as anypony could in that situation. In the muzzle.
"LUNA! What is wrong with you!?" Celestia rushed to check Chrysallis. "I called her here to help me protect the element bearers from whatever thing sucked the magic from everypony."
"Excuse ME for trying to reach my own SISTER to tell her about how there is NO monster anywhere!" Luna fumed.
Celestia frowned a bit. "That's why you left? I was worried sick that you ran off doing whatever and got attacked by the magic sucking monster, which by the way, we need to find."
"For the last time, THERE IS NO MONSTER ANYWHERE!" Luna screamed with her royal canterlot voice, and anypony awake during that time heard it.
"Are you ok in there, Princess Luna? Should we send backup?" One of the guards outside asked.
"I'm fine, thank you!" Luna said.
Discord couldn't handle any more time wasting on the princesses' behalf. He wanted to just tell everyone how there was a cat, an evil cat, close by ground zero. Discord disliked cats, especially when they looked shiftier than him, and that cat was definitely shifty, with his hard hat and whatnot. So he decided to move everything along.
"There was this one cat..." Discord said, as he started recalling to Celestia what he and Luna had seen during the night.
By the time the Changeling queen woke up, Celestia was sure she had a plan, which of course she would not be a part of.
"It's settled!" Celestia announced. "Discord and Luna will find where the cat lives, and will interrogate the owner, while the element bearers will hide some distance away along with two changeling escorts to shoot their friendship laser on the monster!"
"There is no- actually, forget it" Luna sighed. "It's a good plan, I guess."
"We shall leave at sunrise!" Chrysallis said.
Celestia then rose the sun instantly, startling all who were awake to see it.
"Shall we go?" Celestia asked, smiling a bit.
