“Hmm… I see…” Bunsen says thoughtfully.
Emerald looks behind him to see the zebra in body armor shaking the bottle from before. The zebra holds it under Ruby’s nose, and she fidgets for a second before pushing it away and slowly coming too.
“What the heck…” Ruby says, getting off the zebra with a wobble.
The zebra moves to Nishan next, and then to Joyride.
“Hey quit it, I’m sleepin’ here!” Joyride says as the zebra does this, laying back down on the floor and falling asleep again immediately.
Emerald shows Bunsen the ledger. After looking at it for a second he shakes his head and hands it back. He then replies,
“I can’t make heads or tails of this. Why don’t you hold onto it for now until we figure out what to do.”
The smoke from below starts disappearing quite rapidly, and soon enough the party above can see the other zebra standing in the middle of the room holding a jar with green smoke coming out of it.
The party takes turns un-stickifying and un-foaming the knocked out zebras and cuffing them together, and then they go around reviving Loupe and the downed kidnapped ponies.
Emerald stands by Sugar Cane as the zebra wafts the smelling salts under her snout.
She starts, and then gets up slowly, and seeing Emerald says,
“H-hey, it’s you… Where’s Joyride? What happened?”
