Chapter 26 - Get In Line.
-TERRARIA, DUNGEON-
It was now early in the morning outside of The Dungeon, but that was just it, outside The Dungeon. Unfortunately, those within had no way to tell. Rarity was shocked to learn that she was not going to be alone within the deepest and darkest depths of The Dungeon as a few individuals placed in cells around her start to introduce themselves one by one starting with the woman whos cell was placed directly adjacent from the fashionista’s:
“Since we’re gonna be stuck here together I suppose introductions are needed. I’m Katelyn Pierce, The Mechanic.”
“Oh, oh, oh, me next!. I’m Diane Candymena, The Party Girl!, you can call me Candy for short. Speaking of party, we should totally throw you a oh-my-gosh-you’re-a-pony-who-can-talk-so-let’s-be-friends party!”, This admittedly caused Rarity to say internally:
-By Celestia please... I love my dear friend but please, not another Pinky Pie. Wait, what did she-
“Now that she’s got that out of her system... I’m Jeremy Bravos, The Angler. Wait a second... A talking pony?, how did you know she’s a talking pony?. Your cell is at the far end of the hallway!”
“Eh, call it a hunch. My Candy senses are never wrong!”
“My name is Livian Hesper darling, The Stylist.”
“I’m Ross Bosman, The Tavernkeeper and future destroyer of the old one’s- you know what?, never mind.”
“And I am Magius Swirl Magnus, The Wizard.”
“Oh my word, how long were you all down here?. This place is truly dreadful!”, Rarity exclaims as she then slowly looks down to the floor with a saddened expression. “Oh Steven, I’m so sorry... You tried to warn me.”
“Why are you apologizing? Steven is nothing but a monster!”, Katelyn shouts angrily as she overhears Rarity’s words.
“He is not a monster!, if anything is monstrous around here it’s those terrible clothes you’re wearing!”, Rarity replies as she disgustingly points a hoof towards The Mechanic’s clothes. The aforementioned Terrarian responds with gritted teeth:
“Are you stupid?!, he’s the reason you’re down here with us, why we’re all down here!”
“It wasn’t his doing!, it was that monster Skeletron. Steven is being possessed by him!”
“Enough!, both of you!”, Magius The Wizard exclaims as he cuts off their argumentized conversation. “None of that matters now, what does matter is that we continue to find a way out of here.”
“We’ve had this discussion hundreds of times already Magius, the only way we can possibly ever leave this place is if A: Skeletron is defeated, or B: You somehow can escape with your magic, and assuming you’ll come back for the rest of us, which won’t happen while you remain in that cell.”, Jeremy The Angler says as he sighs in defeat.
“Aw come on everyone, cheer up, once we escape we can throw a lot of parties. That’s the cure to all forms of sorrow.”
“It’s always parties with you Candy...”, Livian The Stylist comments.
“Well duh, that’s why I’m The Party Girl- wait... My Candy senses are tingling, I can’t quite put a finger on it but I think there’s someone else who really loves parties out there. Oh my gosh!, they love parties as much as I do based on the party energy power levels I’m detecting, it’s over nine thousand!. Then again power levels were always bull- wait... There’s something else too... Hmm... This being feels so, familiar.”, An awkward silence ensues as Candy finishes her... Assessment. Rarity couldn’t help but to say internally:
-Note to self, do NOT allow her and Pinkie Pie to meet-
“Awww... But I want to meet her so badly...”
“W-wait, did you just read my-”
[BRRRRRRK]
Rarity’s words were cut off as the doors to the hallway of cells opens revealing The Old Man, Steven. The sound of multiple wheels echoes throughout the hallway as Steven pushes a cart upon which many plates of food are set on, the food ranged from eggs to bacon to pretty much every food item one would come to expect from a morning meal. Most notably was the fact that he walked down the hallway with a saddened expression as he tells everyone:
“I... Your food is ready, as is a variety of drinks. Tell me what you want and I’ll hand it to you, I know we’ve been through this a lot already but I’m so sorry-”
“Shove your apologies Old Man, I don’t wanna hear any excuses from you.”, Katelyn The Mechanic says as she stares daggers at Steven who happened to be standing between The Mechanic and Rarity’s cells.
“Stop being so rude to him you brute!, at least he’s feeding us out of the goodness of his own heart. He could’ve left us all to starve to death but he didn’t!, I already told you THIS. IS. NOT. HIS. FAULT!”, Rarity roars out in anger.
“C-can we please stop fighting everyone?...”, Candy says as her hair deflates and she pouts sadly, if one were to observe this they couldn’t help but to feel a sense of déjà vu.
“Got to agree with Candy, you two never keep your mouths’ shut. You’re both almost as bad as Candy is.” - Jeremy The Angler.
“Hey!, meanie...” - Candy The Party Girl.
Steven winced as he looked towards the newly added prisoner in the cell before him, his eyes met with its current occupant: Rarity. “I’m so sorry Rarity, this is all my fault.”
“That’s an understatement.”, Katelyn interjects sassily.
“Enough Katelyn.” - Ross The Tavernkeeper.
“Don’t blame yourself darling, it wasn’t your doing.” - Rarity.
“What would you like to eat Rarity?”, Steven asks with a smile.
“Everything looks quite lovely I must say, aside from the... Meat. Could you hand me some of the pancakes? Oh, and don’t be shy on the syrup either.”, Rarity replies with a smile, this causes The Mechanic to roll her eyes with a look of disgust. Steven nods contently and gives Rarity her requested food as he lays the plate gently onto the floors of Rarity’s cell. She quickly but gently grabs his hand and says: “We will find a way to free everyone, including you. My friends will find me and when they do we will help free you from that monster, I made you a promise Steven and I intend to keep it as is required from a proper lady.”, Rarity’s words causes Steven to smile and nods his head saying:
“Thank you, Rarity.”, After handing the pony her eating utensils Steven then turns around to Katelyn and asks: “What would you like Kate-”
“Don’t you say my name, monster. You might have her fooled, maybe even everyone else here, but I know you and Skeletron are one in the same. Give me my damn food and get out of my face.” Katelyn retorts with absolute venom in her voice. Steven sighs sadly and places a plate of eggs, bacon, and rice onto the floor of Katelyn’s cell. He then travels to every cell and hands over the requested food items of their inhabitants, he walks up to the final cell which holds Candy The Party Girl and says:
“Hello Candy, how are you this morning?”
“Super duperly rific!, oh, and guess what Steven?”, Candy says as she leans into the cell bars and lowers her tone into a whisper. “My Candy senses indicates there is another being in Terraria who loves parties like I do, but they seem so familiar too. I’m so excited to meet them, when we get out of here one day of course.”
“Hahaha, I always enjoy your enthusiasm dear Candy. It’s really hard to believe there exist a being in Terraria who could ever match your party finesse. I promise, one day powerful heroes will defeat Skeletron and free you all from this place.” Steven replies.
“AND you too silly, you’re gonna be free just like us then I’m gonna throw you a party to celebrate. I already have seventy-six different parties planned too so I have a lot of catching up to do. Katelyn might be a big old meanie to you but I agree with the pony three cells over, I know you’re a very nice person Steven.”, Candy’s words puts a smile onto Steven’s face who nods happily and makes his way towards the exit. He pauses in front of Rarity’s cell and says:
“I’ll be back later to bring you all some lunch.”, He then turns his head to Rarity and leans towards the cell door. “Please tell me someone knows you’re here Rarity?, you may very well be our last hope. No one has ever stopped by yet looking for any of the others here, I hope the opposite happens for you.”
“Well, they don’t exactly know where I am but I have faith in my friends darling. Twilight and the others are getting those blades we need and the Terrarians from Home Town will search for me. I’ve been gone a whole night so they’re probably looking for me already. If I may ask Steven, why don’t you just let us out?”
“I want to dear Rarity, more than you know, but there’s a curse placed on this god forsaken dungeon. Skeletron saw fit to assign a terrifying being to kill anyone who dares to enter or leave this place, The Dungeon Guardian. [SIGH] Skeletron only left you alive to torture me dear Rarity, he intends to make me watch all of you rot away down here. I pray that your friends can gather the strength to beat him, they are our last hope.”
“My friends are incredibly strong dear Steven, both in body and in their hearts. They’ll come for me and I hope that no good Skeletron can hear me in that body of yours when I say...” Rarity narrows her eyes in anger. “They will beat you, brute. I know you can hear me in there.”
Suddenly, Steven grunts uncomfortably as a red aura leaks out of his eyes and a black aura covers his entire body.
”Hmm hmm, get in line.”
-TERRARIA, HOME TOWN-
“Oh wow!, this place looks beautiful. I’m more of a nature girl of course but I like the look of this town.”, Ritsu The Zoologist says as she stares on in marvel at Home Town. All of the Terrarians are present and stares at her in shock. Lucan The Merchant recovers from the shock and says:
“Ok introductions later, we’ve got a problem. Rarity has been missing all night!”, Lucan’s words causes Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie to gasp. Applejack grits her teeth and shouts:
“What?!, dang namit Rarity!, why didn’t she tell any of y’all she was going alone?!”, Applejack exclaims as she stomps a hoof onto the ground.
“We were supposed to look for The Muramasa yesterday, together, but when we went to check up on her she was already gone. She’s been missing all night already, we tried looking for her all day yesterday but we had no luck.”, Tanner The Guide says as he sighs sadly.
“Oh dear, we need to look for her now. I’ll ask any of my animal friends if they’ve seen her and I’ll fly around to scout the area.”, Fluttershy says as she takes to the sky however before she departed she turns to Helena The Nurse and says: “Oh, thank you so very much for watching over the animals in my home Helena, I really appreciate it.”
“No problem dear, now go on, start searching for your friend and we’ll be right behind you.” - Helena The Nurse replies. Fluttershy nods happily and flies off.
“Sounds like a plan, in the mean time I know you ponies just got back from your adventure in The Jungle but I trust you got The Blade Of Grass?. We can use it to help us should we run into anything dangerous.”, Ceeman The Arms Dealer asks.
“You bet!, go on Applejack show them!”, Pinkie Pie shouts enthusiastically as she hops in the air. Applejack nods and in one swift motion she conjures the blade and holds it in her left front hoof, raising it into the air. All of the Terrarians have various reactions ranging from simple ‘Ooooh’ to ‘That looks so beautiful’, Tanner The Guide smirks and says:
“[WHISTLE] Nice.”

Hshahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha. Best villian right here.
So, is Rarity just gonna be MIA until they’re strong enough to take on Skeletron? On an unrelated note, I fought the queen bee in revengance mode for the first time today, and dear lord, why is she so fast?!
10561362
Oh no, Rarity will have her big moment. Trust me on that, I know it looks like I'm giving her the short stick atm but it's all gonna come together for her.
10561321
Indeed
10561362
And yes, The Queen Bee is so difficult since, iirc, she's the second fastest boss in vanilla Terraria second only to The Goddess Of Light. She's a pain in master mode
I’m not looking forward to the moment Pinkie and Candy meet. Terraria is going to implode into a Hallow wasteland for sure.
Another great chapter! Can’t wait to see how everything goes with rarity and Steven.

Suddenly, Terraria breaks itself so much that expert mode somehow got activated just from those two meeting each other.
10561480
TYVM
Heh. I already killed the other people in line, Skelly-boy.
I'll see you soon.

Sweet!
In that case let me paraphrase the ending bit of Perforator’s theme.
“Hahahaha! You thought Razeem was bad? Try fighting a GOD!”
Ahh, I was hoping that the Party Girl would be named Trixie since it is one of the possible names in the game.
Also, I presume that she also has Pinkamena mode?
10563559
Party Girl will indeed have a 'Pinkamena mode' of her own. As for why I didn't name her Trixie... I'm afraid of possible spoilers so I shall leave a happy pinkie Pie.
i.. MM OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!! MMMMMMMMM i'm not sorry about that one.
