Hotshot got into position as fast as he could (This mare reminds of her) he thought to himself "I'm ready, hop on if you can't reach I can lift you higher" This was there chance for freedom
Azure hopped on to his back and started to stand up leaning against one of the trapdoor walls then she noticed something. "hey guys i see something!I think its a switch! but i can't reach it.maybe i can..." she tried using her magic to flip the switch and surprisingly, it worked! she smiled as her magic flipped the switch and there was a click and creaking of a gate or some sort. then one of the walls hissed and then slid sideways into what mustve been a hidden compartment. then she jumped down and looked at the new opening in the small room. "we did it...we did it!but what was weird was that i could use my magic up there."
"Maybe magic is is just sealed when we are in this room, or the ones who brougt us palnned this." Darky said thinking in what he just said.
"Like I said," Blade said, walking to the side of the mare, he was next to her about one foot apart, looking into the next room, "They may want to make a game of this."
"oh...like the movie Saw?well any ways we should see whats up ahead" she started trotting towards the new opening in the room. "maybe there is another thing we have to do up ahead."
" I'm in but we should stay together and be careful" The dark opening they walked into did not seem friendly. Hotshot made sue to stay in the front not only because he was hopeful but he wanted to keep everyone else safe. I don't know these ponies yet I feel as if I can trust them, and the mare behind him was certainly eye catching. "I see a light" Hotshot said As he entered the room he was filled with puzzlement.
"oh no.." when she enetered the room there was an extremely complex machine standing before them and there was a small recording device attached to a broken gear. "whats this?a recording device. should we see what it says?" she looked at everyone for an answer.
BladeRunner looked around, but he noticed that the two other stallions were going for that mare. He had a Marefriend, once at least, although it did not last very long. ​'Keep in mind, you need not worry about those around you, your on your, you only need them to escape.'A voice said in Blades head. 'I understand, but may it be wrong to just use them? Should we not get to know them more?' He had thought back to the voice. 'Your after the mare, are you not?' The voice argued,'They will kill you, betray you, they will hurt you like 'she' had done you. Keep in mind, love is an option, but I prefer it not the best for you. I trust your decisions, yet, I do question them.' Blade would sigh briefly as he walked to the machine, looking it over. It didn't look explosive, nor did it seem lethal from what he could tell, "It doesn't seem dangerous," He said in a deep tone, it was a little country though. 'I am telling you this, they will deceive you.' The voice carried on. 'Shut up and let me be, I am sure they will be fine,' Blade thought as he stepped back from the machine. 'Its not them I worry about.'
"I don't see why not..." Darky said as soon as he saw the device. "I think is the best option right now."
Hotshot let his recklessness get the better of him as he pushed the button that said play on the recorder. All he heard was just static was this broken " C'mon " He was answered by static. The Pegasus looked over at Azure , Being hopeful will be the best for all of us Hotshot thought to himself Without any alert the tape started
Tape:"Hello...i see you made it past the first test.you can probably see this complex group of turning gears ahead. well there is a gap somewhere between the gears and there is an object there in the gap is a vital peice that will let you move on to the next test.but someone must make a sacrifice for this object.for this test i am allowing a few magic spells and flight as well.there is a button on the wall that should disable the magic blockers and open the wing grips that have been applied while the pegasi and alicorn were unconscious.have fun,and remember. don't use what you have for your own gain." the tape ended there. Azure just stared...confused. "what does he mean by gain? and has anyone found the button?"
"I'm more concerned about the part of someone sacrificing something..." Darky said thinking of everything the tape said. He looked around and saw the button at the other side of the room "Wait... I found the button..." He said pointing it with his hoof "...Is over there."
Hotshot knew what had to happen but it did not make it easier " Azure I need you to cast a protection spell on me so I don't get cut up by those gears" He went up to the button and pressed it
there was a hissing sound and the cuffs on the wings unlocked and fell to the ground,they were able to fly again. "well i would but didn't the tape said not to use things for your own gain?if i cast the spell you would be the only one unharmed and in perfect shape.and i really don't know any protection spells, i specialize in dark magic.not protective magic.but maybe i can figure out what we need thats in the gears." her horn's glow turned from a light blue to a green and purple glow then the glow stopped completely. "okay...ironically, what we need to reach for is another gear peice."
"Well, I know protective spells, but I can only cast them in my shield... and I need it for it." Darky said as he sighted. "Oh well, whatever, need any help?" He asked her
she gots on his back,grabbing very tightly. "do you think maybe you could lift me up to that gap?" she quickly points to a small opening between to giant gears before clinging to Darky again.
"Don't worry. I'm stronger than I look." He said to her with a smile. He started to fly, slowly so she didn't fall until she was high enough to do whatever she was going to do.
Hotshot sat back while he waited to see what happens "I just wanted to get through I thought getting the piece would unlock something so none of us would get hurt, Just be careful I don't want either of you getting injured" As if on timing the gears began to turn gaining speed dangerously He got to his feet ready to help if it was needed. His expression was that of worry
