"Good morning Ace!" Black Cloud greeted as Ace walked into the cafeteria.

"Hey Black Cloud." Ace greeted in return, settling down beside his friend on the colorful bench which was vertical of the matching table.

"Looks like no one listened to that Mono guy." Noteworthy spoke up from across the table, absently nudging his eggs with a fork.

"Is everyone here?" Twilight asked from the edge of the table, causing everyone else to turn their heads.

"Yup!" Derpy called from the far end of the table, over a small tower of blueberry muffins.

Blossom looked up from the book she was currently reading. Ace absently wondered were she found it but settled on asking her later.
` Despite Derpy's reassuring "yup", Twilight scanned over the group of ponies before her before settling down in her seat and beginning to eat her breakfast.

"U-Um...guys?" Flame asked from his seat, the attention shifting to the flame-haired colt who shifted slightly. "Has anyone checked these?"
and Flame held up a device which had the appearance miniature monitor, everyone instinctively shied away from the device as if it were to explode. Ace understood. They were in a building were trust was scarce.

"Can I see that?" Ace asked and Flame handed it across the table and Ace picked it up, turning it around and such when it flickered on. Ace flinched slightly but looked at the screen. It had a image of Flame and some side info.

"Its a ID...." Ace muttered, handing it back to Flame.

"I saw one in my room but I didn't really acknowledge it." Cloud said as he swallowed a mouthful of eggs ignoring the stares and glances he earned from what he said.

"I think we all have one some were in our rooms." Blossom answered in her matter-of-fact tone.

"So...what are we going to do today...exactly?" Storm asked, prodding his food around with a fork, seemingly uninterested in the meal.

"Well.....yeah...What should we do?" Snowflake asked and she looked around, yet the pegasus got no answer.

Ace pondered for a moment. It did seem like this place was rather boring. Filled with many absent halls and classrooms.....
He was stirred by Twilight's authoritative and calm voice.

"We are going to explore in one big group. Alright? Its better than nothing and its always good to know your surroundings."

"I thought Shining Armor was the Ultimate Leader not the Ultimate...." Lightning Sky said and everyone suddenly realized that Twilight Sparkle never told them her talent.

"She's a good leader." Shining said quickly, trying to hide his embarrassment of his sister taking over his talent.

"Well Were do we go first then?" Brandon asked, his soft voice seeming like a sort of low music in the cafeteria.

Thunderlane shrugged and looked at Twilight, expecting her answer.

"Well. We can check all the classrooms to start. Maybe there's an escape route." Twilight got up from the table and walked towards the door before turning to the others.

"Are you coming or not?" She asked jokingly and everyone got up to follow their new leader.
