Twi-ling

Rainbow was sent off to look on the third floor; Twilight and Pinkie looked on the second.

"You think anything's here?" Pinkie asked her partner.

Twilight shook her head. "I'm just hoping for something. Anything!" She collapsed onto a nearby couch in sadness and frustration. "We've lost three of our friends!"

After a while of searching, Twilight turned around and muttered, "I think I can use my magic up here," she exclaimed in excitement. Her magic flickered and sparked until it stayed glowing around her horn. She turned back to Pinkie, grinning.

"Twi-" Pinkie shouted, aghast. "Help!"

Pinkie plummeted into a portal that had spawned.. She was on her way to the human world... All Twilight had to do now was find Rainbow...

"Rainbow!" Twilight screamed frantically, racing up the stairs. "A-A portal just appeared underneath Pinkie! And s-she fell through it! To the human world!"

Rainbow struggled to comprehend this, and when she did, her face was a mirror to the face on Twilight. Shocked, horrified, tortured.

"There's a special way for each pony to go, isn't there?" Twilight asked softly to Rainbow. "Rarity falls, Fluttershy bleeds out, Applejack committed suicide, Pinkie went through the portal-which is sealed now. But which way do you go?" She tapped her chin, thinking.

"Uh... Twi?" Rainbow asked nervously. She didn't like the edge on Twilight's voice that was growing.

"Let's see. Decapitation? Dismemberment? Old classic slitting the throat?"

The blue pegasus began to tremble as Twilight advanced.

"Or... Magic."

"B-But you said your magic doesn't work here!" Rainbow exclaimed, petrified.

Twilight smirked. "Oh, I said that, didn't I? Did I mean it, though, Rainbow Dash?"

Rainbow could only stare in horror as Twilight went on. She was already backed up against the crystal wall as much as she could.

"Oh Rainbow," Twilight whispered, right in her ear. "The princesses are still alive. They're waiting for you. Because they get to kill you." She ignited her magic, sparkling, evil green colored and teleported the both of them to the caves.
