The following takes place between 10:00am and 11:00am

Jack used the loudspeaker. He whispered Twilight's name and persuaded the others to listen in. "Princess Celestia, where are you?"

"I have no idea." Celestia whispered so Armada and Stasis won't hear her talking.

They can hear the voices of the remaining members of Sect. They noticed voices echoing. They already figured out Celestia's location. The signal began to deplete. Celestia didn't have enough strength to keep the connection stable.

"Why can't we hear her?" Applejack asked.

"She must have drained her magic," said Luna.

Suddenly the dial tone beeped. The phone went back to having no signal. His phone is now useless.

"If only we had more time!" said Twilight.

Dark Spear received a transmission. He's glad that good news came around for once. "They found who's been making the hoof canons."

"You had a team of ponies searching for the manufacturer of the hoof canons and didn't tell us?" Twilight asked.

"Look we can't just tell you all the details. There's a lot going on; it's better to let you focus on thing while we handle our job."

There's almost an argument, the ponies gave it some thought. They couldn't handle all the threats.

"We can't wait any longer. Sect already had my sister and we aren't close in stopping them." Luna began to worry.

"Chrysalis, how many changelings are still serving you?" Jack asked.

"Roughly hundreds if not thousands," she replied.

Brave Lance received a transmission from Sand Graphite. He tried to hear what he's saying. All he heard were grunts.

"I found were Sect is hiding," gasped Graphite. "I'm near Fillydelphia."

He got cut off before Brave Lance could answer back. They now have a main objective: locate Sect along with rescuing Princess Celestia.

10:18am

Xi and Epsilon arrived with a captured Sand Graphite. They placed him on the cave floor near Celestia. They restrained Graphite's body with chains. He eyed on Celestia, not bothering to struggle. He stared at her beauty, ignoring his injuries.

"It's nice to finally meet you princess." Sand tried to smile, even with a bruised mouth.

"Are you one of… them?"

"Of ESCT, you got it."

"Are Twilight and…"

"They're in good hooves. You're lucky to have them. All we have in ESCT is our comrades. Sadly not the ones you befriend with."

He can definitely see Celestia's under pressure in becoming queen of Equestria. Whenever he sees her on that slab, he sees her as a saviour. None of ESCT, aside from Brave Lance and Dark Spear, actually met the alicorn sisters.

He noticed Celestia watching Stasis, Armada, and the rest of Sect debating.
