When the six friends rounded a bend in the cavern, they were blinded by the light that shown before them. Once their eyes had adjusted, they were astonished by what they saw. There were two gigantic crystals sticking out of the cave floor that were putting off the light. Between these crystals was a swirling orb of light. Twilight used her aura to examine the orb and determined that it was some kind of portal that led to an unknown world.
"We should approach with caution. I have no idea where this portal leads.", Fluttershy said quietly.
"She's right, we don't know what could possibly be on the other side of the portal.", Rainbow said.
The other four friends accepted and they began to slowly walk towards the portal. Suddenly, without warning, bolts of electricity flew from the portal and struck each of the ponies. They were twelve feet away from the portal and it felt like they were being grabbed by a giant hand.
"RUN!", Twilight cried.
Everyone tried to get away from the portal, but it was no use. The energy neutralized both Twilight and Rarity's magic, restrained Rainbow and Fluttershy's wings, and made the ground feel slippery under their hooves. Eventually, Twilight lost her footing and was pulled backwards towards the portal. In the process, she slammed into her friends and they were yanked in. As colors flashed around them, they heard strange voices in their heads and their bodies changed shape. The process by which their bodies changed shape induced AGONIZING PAIN. They screamed loudly at the start, but everything soon went black. The six friends had passed out.
