The First Unicron

Razor sighed as she continued falling. Her horn had glowed for a moment or two, but then flickered out with nothing happening.

Really? she thought. Nothing? Come on, magic! I prepare for more than this!

"Blast, you really need to learn how to dive faster!" cried Raven from above her.

"I thought you had your rope!" yelled Blast in reply.

"It's an endless loop!" called up Razor to her friends. "There's no bottom! Blast, catch me when I come back around!"

"Sure thing, Raze-" Blast cut off abruptly. "Whoa!"

"Blast, how are you falling?!?" yelled Raven. "You have wings!"

"There's something wrong with gravity!"

"Gravity can't be 'wrong'!"

"Unless this loop works based on gravity spells!" called Razor.

"That would actually explain it!"

"So how do we stop falling?" asked Blast. "I'm not used to not being able to fly!"

"The spell either has to be overloaded or deactivated!"

"How do we overload it?" asked Razor. "Because we definitely can't count on my magic!"

"Um..." Raven paused. "We probably need to add someone else to the loop, and then the spell wouldn't be able to handle all of us."

"I bet that Razor's magic is going to activate before Violet shows up!" called Blast. "What'd you think?"

"Blast, we're not just joking around!"

"Yeah, but we are falling around!"

Blast couldn't see it, but Raven facehooved.

Violet trudged through the dark passageways of who-knows-what-this-place-was, looking around for any sign of Razor, Raven, or Blast. She only had a few stray bits of spider silk left on her, which, though it had taken a spider of all things to help, made everything just a little bit better.

"Why can't anything be easy?" she muttered to herself.

Violet turned a corner and found a bright torch on the wall. She happily grabbed it and held it in her hoof, gleeful that she could finally see. She continued walking until one of the spots she stepped on sank into the ground a bit, and another pit opened underneath her. Fortunately, Violet managed to move out of the way before she fell it, and breathed a sigh of relief.

What is with this place and having so many traps?

Violet was suddenly grabbed in an orange field on magic, that floated her about a metre above the ground.

"Razor?" she asked, but again recieved no response.

"I don't know why it's lighting up! Nothing's happening!"

That sounded like Razor, but Violet couldn't figure out what direction it was coming from. So she simply asked once more.

"Razor, is that you?"

"Violet?"

"Raze, V isn't here!" That sounded like Blast.

"But I just heard her talk!"

"Maybe it's what your magic is doing!" And that was Raven. "Can she hear all of us?"

"Yes." affirmed Violet before Razor could ask her. "But they can't hear me?"

"Are you guys sure you can't hear her?"

"Positive."

"Well, your magic isn't connecting us, so no."

Violet was abruptly dropped on the ground, but Razor's magic still remained around her. She stood up, and made sure she was still holding the torch.

"Where are you?" asked Violet. "I can't find any of you anywhere."

"A bottomless pit. It just keeps looping around and around from gravity spells, and we can't make it stop."

"It sounds really weird for you just talk out loud like that when we can't hear you talking to someone else."

"Blast, please not right now."

"So... How do I get to it?"

"Well, we all fell in at the split that you went down the other side of... Can you get back up it?"

Violet completely froze. "Spiders."

"The giant ones?"

"So many of them..."

"Okay, after this we are going to cure her arachnaphobia."

"Wait, I thought you couldn't-"

"I just used context."

There was a flash of orange light, and Violet found herself standing in a different location in whatever-this-place-was. The orange glow around her suddenly vanished, and her torch went out.

"Razor?" she asked. "Are you still there?"

She was met with no response. Violet sighed and leaned back up against the side of whatever pathway she was in by this point. One of the stones sank into the wall, and Violet abruptly fell onto the ceiling.

"What the hay?" asked Violet in surprise, as she didn't feel like she was upside down.

She looked at the wall she had been leaning on, just as it crumbles away and fell in the same direction as gravity currently felt to her. She walked over to the opening and peeked out, just as she suddenly fell back towards the floor. She fell into the opening and down a pit, before sliding against the side wall and crashing into Razor at the bottom.

"Hey, Vi..." said Razor rather dizzily. "Guess you overloaded the gravity spell, huh?"

Before Violet could respond, Raven came sliding down the other side of the pot and crashed into both her and Razor. Blast flew down, and landed completely safely.

"Heh, sorry." said Blast. "Probably should've tried to catch you, huh?"

"I can't even..." muttered Raven.

Razor's horn suddenly blinked once with magic, and Blast and Raven disappeared in a flash of orange light.

"What just happened?" asked Violet.

"Uh, I think I teleported them." said Razor. "But normally my magic doesn't go that quickly..."

Then yet again, the floor suddenly opened up underneath Violet (and Razor) and they both fell into another pit. However, this pit was much shorter than any of the previous ones, and led to a brightly lit area with a lake at the bottom. And both ponies landed in the cold water before they could react.
