Chapter 10 - Pinkie The Slime And The Goblin Who Tinkers. (Edited)

-TERRARIA-

Equipped with her copper armor and her copper bow, Fluttershy flies through the skies keeping her eyes focused on the land below; trying to find some food for her animals back in her home. Among a set of trees, she spots a particularly large tree adorned with many acorns along with various berry bushes littering the area. The yellow pegasus was about to start harvesting until she hears a commotion nearby which causes her to hide in the top portion of tree, hiding herself among the leaves. Sure enough, a small pink entity jumps out of the bushes but what comes out next terrified Fluttershy as three bipedal beings appears as well and from the looks of it, the shy mare could tell they intended to do harm to the pink being. She recognized these creatures instantly thanks to Twilight and the terrarians: Slime and Goblin.

“Oh my, how could they do this to that poor thing? I know the others said that slimes are dangerous but that one is so cute.” Fluttershy whispers.

Two of the goblins cornered the slime against the tree Fluttershy was hiding in. The pegasus recognized two of the goblin's clothing as a Goblin Scout/Plunderer and a Goblin Archer however the third goblin, with noticeably light blue skin; wearing glasses and a white lab coat, steps in front of the others and says:

“Hey come on, guys. Maybe we could let it go, It’s just a small slime so let’s just-”

“No, Gorglock. You weakling. Goblins be strong, we beat weakling slime,” The Goblin Scout says as he pushes Gorglock aside; causing him to fall to the ground as the scout walks closer to the pink slime with The Goblin Archer. “Now you die, slime. We take slime gel.”

Both goblins approach the pink slime who was beginning to shudder until a yellow blur shoots down from the top of the tree and slams into both of the goblins. Gorglock’s eyes widen and his mouth goes agape at the scene before him. If the pink slime had a face, let alone a mouth, It'd probably have the same expression as the light-blue goblin.

“How dare you threaten this poor creature's life!” Fluttershy exclaims with a tone similar to what she had in The Grand Galloping Gala, long ago. She then does the unthinkable as the shy pegasus, who in this moment was anything but shy, grabbed each of the goblins by their legs and spins around in circles with her forehooves outstretched. After spinning for a few seconds at high speeds, she releases her hold and sends both goblins hurling into a nearby tree.

“GACK!” Both goblins yell in pain as they bounce off of the tree and fall to the floor, leaving quite the dent within the tree's bark. They slowly try to recover before both of their eyes widen as the angered pegasus approaches slowly.

“Both of you leave, right now! And if I ever see you do this again, I will shoot you with an arrow!” Fluttershy exclaims as both of the goblins manage to get back onto their feet and limps off as they say:

“You be sorry, stupid pony.” The Goblin Scout threatens.

“We tell chief, you all die!” The Goblin Archer exclaims

After scaring off the goblins, Fluttershy turns back to the small pink slime, who is still shaking in fear, as the pegasus quickly runs to the slime's aid and says:

“Oh you poor thing, that must’ve been scary, are you ok?” The tone of Fluttershy's voice was perhaps the most motherly anything could’ve heard. Meanwhile, Gorglock still stares on and frozen in shock. Suddenly, both Fluttershy and Gorglock are surprised when they hear the words:

”T-thank you for saving me.”

“Oh my gosh, you can talk?! You have such a cute voice, I’m Fluttershy, what’s your name?”

”I’m Pinkie, The Slime Princess.”

“Princess?!” Gorglock exclaims.

“Oh! I have a friend named, Pinkie. She’d absolutely love you, would you like to come with me, little one?” Fluttershy questions.

”Y-yes, please. You are very nice, Miss Fluttershy. I can sense your intentions, your heart, and you are so... pure.” Princess Pinkie’s words causes the pegasus to blush. She then picks up the The Slime Princess and sets Pinkie onto her head. Fluttershy then turns to Gorglock, who was still on the ground with an expression of disbelief, and approaches him. She then offers him a hoof and asks:

“Are you ok? I saw you trying to talk the others into not harming Princess Pinkie and stood in their way. You were very brave and I’d like to say: Thank you.” Gorglock stared at her hoof in shock for a few seconds before he regains his composer and takes it, causing Fluttershy to help him onto his feet before she says: “There we are. Now, let’s get you all cleaned up.” The pegasus then starts to pat the goblin's lab coat in an effort to clean it. Finally, Gorglock snaps out of his daze and mutters the words:

“Goddess...”

“Wait, what?” Fluttershy inquires. Suddenly, Gorglock undoes Fluttershy’s cleaning as he gets down on both of his knees and starts to worship the pegasus.

“I am humbled by your kindness, oh great Goddess. Thank you for everything you’ve done. It’s like Princess Pinkie said, your aura... It radiates kindness!” Gorglock shouts as he continues to worship the ‘Goddess’. Fluttershy stares on with her mouth agape all while Princess Pinkie hops off of the pegasus’s head and lands next to the goblin.

”I must agree with this goblin, oh great Goddess. You are truly benevolent.” The Slime Princess says as she hops in place happily.

Gorglock slaps himself in the face as he forgot to do something very important before speaking to a Goddess or at least what he and Princess Pinkie saw as a goddess.

“Oh, forgive me Goddess. In my shock, I forgot to introduce myself properly,” Gorglock says as he then raises back onto his feet and clears his throat. “I am: Gorglock, The Goblin Tinkerer.” He then bows to Fluttershy as the pegasus could only say in absolute shock:

“Oh... Oh my.”


-TERRARIA, HOME TOWN-

“H-hey, Guide...”

“Yeah?”

“That’s one of those supposedly extinct talking lizard men, right?”

“Lihzhard, actually.”

“... and we’re not in some kind of dream?”

“... no.”

Helena The Nurse and Tanner The Guide couldn’t believe the spectacle taking place before them. A creature they both once considered to be extinct and a culture lost to history was now standing before them. Twilight could be seen hyperventilating to which Starlight and Rarity were trying to help their friend recover. All the while, some of the others who were present are having a conversation with their new visitor: Gex The Witchdoctor. Applejack and Ceeman Jones were absent as they were still guarding the gates as Ceeman had relieved Rainbow Dash after he left Candy Cane Corner. Pinkie Pie was still working at Candy Cane Corner however she could sense something; someone, new has entered the town as she comments:

“My Pinkie senses are tingling.”

“You look awesome!” Rainbow Dash compliments as she gazes upon Gex's form.

“Well I’ll be, I thought your kind were extinct. No offence. Then, the zebra goes to The Jungle and comes back with a living Lihzhard.” Vinny The Demolitionist says.

“Hey, would you be interested in parting with some of those scales of yours?” Lucan The Merchant questions.

“Please friends, give Gex some room, allow him the chance to introduce himself to you.” Zecora comments with a deadpan expression.

“I appreciate the welcome, my scales are warmed by your kindness, never did I think to find beings of such likeness,” Gex says as the lihzhard looks around and takes notice of the beings before him. He was familiar with the terrarians as his kind has encountered some of them before but the colorful ponies were another story. “I see ponies of the land, ponies with horns above their eyes, most noticeably is the pony who can fly.” Gex says as he looks to Rainbow Dash. Recovering from their shock, both Tanner and Helena approaches the Lihzhard as Tanner says:

“Never in my life did I ever expect to meet a Lihzhard. I heard that most of you were, well, not exactly the nicest beings. No offence.”

“No offence has been made, your fears are right, I might be kind but my brethren can cause strife,” Gex replies as he then raises his staff into the air which catches everyone’s attention. “Listen well kind beings for I’ve come to warn you, I predict a war will be coming soon. Beings of green and ponies shall collide, caught in the middle will be this town of which you reside.” Upon finishing his prediction, Gex lowers his staff and slams it into the ground. For a moment, everyone just stares at him... until all present, aside from Zecora, shouts:

”WHAT?!”

“Um, hello, everypony,” Fluttershy comments as everyone turns to her but what catches their attention are the two beings she’s accompanied with. “This is Princess Pinkie and Gorglock The Goblin Tinkerer. I hope we can all become friends.”

Gorglock waves his left hand nervously as Princess Pinkie hops happily on Fluttershy’s head. Everyone then stares at Fluttershy and her companions and shouts, aside from Zecora and Gex:

”WHAT?!”

Suddenly, a pink blur zooms pass the ponies and terrarians; stopping right in front of Gex. It’s revealed to be Pinkie Pie who stares at the Lihzhard as she then turns to Fluttershy’s direction and notices The Slime Princess and Goblin Tinkerer. The party pony’s eyes widen as she then zooms off again in a pink blur. This time, Gex, Princess Pinkie, and The Goblin Tinkerer shouts in unison:

”WHAT?!”

Everyone else simply chuckles as they reply in unison:

“It’s just, Pinkie.”
