(play on loop)
Shock and awe was the best way to describe how everyone was feeling aside from Rainbow Dash who was now feeling overwhelming guilt. Tears almost filled the stunt pegasu’s eyes as she stuttered the words: “I-i’m s-sorry everypony...”
“Kill them all!, Pillage!, take!, kill!.”, The Goblin Army shouts as they enter the breach in the wall.
“Here they come y’all!”, Applejack shouts as she readies her copper broadsword along with Tanner The Guide who follows suit. Pinkie Pie pulls out of her mane dual copper shortswords and takes a combat stance while growling like a dog. Twilight, Rarity, and Starlight fires up their horns while also floating their ‘wands of sparking’ alongside them, Ceeman The Arms Dealer pulls out a shotgun, and Vinny materializes some grenades. Helena The Nurse and Fluttershy remain behind the group as the yellow pegasus readies her arrows along with Lucan The Merchant who also had a bow standing besides her. Recovering from her regretful actions Rainbow Dash draws her copper shortsword and swoops down to strike at the goblins just as Tanner The Guide shouts:
“Charge!, for Terraria!”
“For Equestria!, for Equus!”, all of the ponies shout as the two sides clash into each other in close quarter combat. As the battle wages on many different scenarios took place as everyone who calls this town home fought for their very lives.
Rainbow Dash continues to swoop in however during one of her sweeps she loses her copper shortsword from a goblin who managed to catch her. Fortunately, Ceeman saw this and tossed the mare a spare musket with two-hundred rounds of ammo, which she immediately wraps around herself, as he shouts to her:
“Wanna make it up to us?, put some rounds into these bastards heads simply point and shoot. Show me how sorry you are Dash!”
The Arms Dealer pumps his shotgun and kills a goblin who tried to attack him during the exchange. Rainbow Dash looks to the weapon in her hooves and takes her aim at a Goblin who tried to ambush Ceeman from behind.
[BANG]
“GAUGH!”, the goblin cries out as it falls limp to the floor, Ceeman looks up to rainbow and says:
“Nice shooting kid, now get to work!”, Upon hearing those words Rainbow narrows her eyes and shoots multiple Goblins as she flies around the community. Rainbow meets up with Fluttershy along the way who was killing multiple goblins via arrows to the head while also dodging the goblins attacks in return. The two team up and swoops down onto the army firing their ranged weapons along the way, the yellow pegasus even gives Rainbow her copper shortsword. Apparently, Fluttershy had found Rainbow’s weapon and gave it to the rainbow pegasus not knowing it already belonged to her. In a beautiful display of ranged weaponry mixed with closed quarters combat thanks to her shortsword Rainbow Dash became quite the force on the battlefield.
Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Tanner The Guide all stand back to back while being surrounded by goblins. “Stay in formation Y’all, let them come to us and cut em’ down.”, the cowmare says as she slices a goblins head clean off of his shoulder as it tried to attack her as she spoke. Tanner followed suit as he parried a goblins attack and successfully punished the green menace with a follow up attack. Pinkie Pie leaped towards the crowd of goblins and spun around in a flurry of blades causing blood to gush into the air and spill onto the floor, after doing her ‘dance’ she retuns back to the others and they are once again back to back in a trio of blades.
“We gotta get to a bet’r position, this is playing right into their hooves and- GAUGH”, Applejacks words were cut off and she releases a painful cry as a goblin spike ball hits the cowmare in her stomach region.
“Applejack!”, Tanner The Guide shouts as he catches the orange earth pony in his grasp. Pinkie Pie stares on to the scene before her, the world around her practically disappears and fades to black even the voices around her be they friend or foe dissipates. All she could see before her was applejacks unconscious body, then... She sings:
“Fun time, fun time, you’re all going to... die!”, her mane deflates instantly and the color of her entire body greys out, Pinkamena takes the stage. ”RRRRRAAAAWWWWWWRRRRRRR”, she roars out like a monster who’s treasure was just stolen and like an absolute madmare she hops into the fray cutting down every goblin who surrounded Tanner and the unconscious cowmare with her dual blades. She then pulls out a bomb she had tucked away in her mane from Vinny and grabs a goblin. “Open wide!”, was all she said before she shoves the bomb into the goblins mouth, snapping its jaws in the process, and tosses the body into the other goblins.
[BOOM]
“For the love of Terra...”, was all Tanner could say as he stares on nervously with a pinch of amazement. Put simply, Pinkamena slaughtered all of the goblins present as she then walks back to The Guide and Applejack. She looks down to Applejack with a saddened expression, something that was rare even in this state, and puts the orange earth pony onto her back with some help from The Guide. She then turns to Tanner and asks:
”Nurse, where is she?...”
“...”, Tanner was speechless.
”Didn’t you hear me?, I SAID WHERE IS SHE?!”, Pinkamena exclaims.
“Oh, uh, your friend Fluttershy sent her and Lucan to the library.”, Tanner replies.
”Thanks...”, Pinkamena says as she then runs off with Applejack killing a few Goblins along the way.
“Note to self, don’t harm her friends.”, Tanner says as he picks up his sword and runs off to engage more foes.
Helena The Nurse and Lucan The Merchant were being chased as they tried to make their way to the library, unfortunately there were goblins already present there who took notice and cuts them off resulting in them being surrounded. They turn back to back. “Damnit, I’m no good in combat especially close quarters. Can’t you use one of your items to help us?.”, Helena says as she looks back to Lucan.
“You know I can’t do that while in battle!, that’s the drawback to being The Merchant. I can only use items given to me before combat and all I’ve got is this bow Ceeman gave me, which doesn’t at all help here.”, Lucan replies however both of their prayers were answered as Ceeman The Arms Dealer blows away some of the Goblins with his shotgun that were in front of the duo. He walks up to the two and says:
“You know, I love you guys but you suck in combat. Well, at least Helena has an excuse being a nurse and all but what’s yours Lucan?”
“Aw shut it you petulant teenager, take care of these guys behind us. No respect for us old timers I swear...”, Lucan replies with annoyance.
“Yeah, yeah, I got it.”, Ceeman says as he waves his left hand however before he could take his shots all of the goblins before him gets their heads amputated. Standing among their corpses was Pinkamena with Applejack still unconscious on her back.
”You, nurse... Heal her, now.”, Pinkamena says as she points a hoof to Helena, The Nurse catches on instantly and runs over to Applejack to inspect her.
“She’ll be ok, please take her inside and lay her on the couch for me so I can take care of her properly.”, The Nurse replies.
”Alright...”, The grayed out earth pony says as she follows Helena into the building, before closing the door Pinkamena then turns her head and tells Ceeman and Lucan: ”Guard the door you two, I better not see any of them get in...”
[BAM]
The door is slammed shut as Pinkamena kicks it with her hind legs, Ceeman and Lucan stare at each other dumbfounded. Both of them agree to follow her orders as they both think internally: ”-She’s scary...-”
[BOOM] [BOOM] [BOOM]
The pair are startled as the sounds of explosions goes off in the distant side of town as Vinny The Demolitionist achieves his life long dreams, making things explode.
Twilight, Starlight, and Rarity found themselves battling on the rooftops as they are being chased by teleporting goblin mages. From the roof of Candy Cane Corner all the way to the roof of Fluttershy’s home the display of magical energies shot through the skies as both sides avoided and attacked each other.
“We’re just wasting energy at this rate and we’re outnumbered, we need a plan.” Rarity says as she and the others teleport onto the same roof.
“I’m not sure sadly, I tried everything I can think of from barriers to offensive attacks. Our wands are effective but they’re not strong enough to inflict a fatal blow, I don’t know what to do!”, Twilight exclaims as she wipes a bit of sweat away. Starlight grits her teeth as she tries to catch her breath. Then, an idea comes to her as she realized the goblin mages are staying together and as one of them fires off an attack the others are charging theirs, she turns to Twilight and asks:
“Twilight, do you still have any of your physical weapons on you?”
“Not really, however I do have a pickaxe on me in my inventory I got from The Merchant. Why, what do you have in mind?” Twilight questions.
“Remember when you told me about goblins and their magic abilities along with the physical properties of the projectiles they cast?, well, what if we batted one of their attacks right back at them?. It’s like you said in your studies, magic back on Equus can’t be reflected by a blade or any weapon unless it was enchanted but here in Terraria some can. And a goblin’s energy ball happens too?...”, Starlight says as she spins her hoof around trying to get Twilight and Rarity to catch onto her plan.
“Of course!, that’s genius Starlight!”, Twilight exclaims as she then materialized her copper pickaxe into being, she was about to volunteer however Rarity snatches the pickaxe and says:
“Allow me darlings, I’ll have you know that me and Sweetie Belle play baseball from time to time. Surprising I know but how else do you think I maintain my perfect form”, everyone present nods their heads and drinks a lesser mana potion before they enact their plan. The ponies teleport out into the open just as a goblin mage spots them, charges its attack. And fires it towards Starlight while the other goblins were charging their own energy orbs. Starlight sees this and calls out:
“Now Rarity!”, These words causes Rarity to teleport right in front of the attack with the pickaxe held like a baseball bat as she yells out:
“Show me the money!”
[WHAM]
Rarity successfully hits the energy ball right back to the group of goblin mages at high speed, they have no time to teleport away as the energy ball makes contact and in combination with the energy balls the other Goblins were charging up a huge explosion engulfs them, killing them instantly. Rarity smiles at her handy work and says: “That’s what happens when you mess with a group of proper ladies you brutes.”, The trio of unicorns nods happily at their achievement and teleports away to fight more foes.
Fluttershy flew high into the air and took a moment to survey the warzone bellow her, she saw many of her friends achieving victory here and there however she could see the enormous number of goblins. She comments: “Everypony is doing great but there’s too many of them, we need to-”, The yellow pegasus’s words were cut off as the rain around her, not to mention the entire area, changed in a drastic way. A small green slime lands on her head:
”All hail the great goddess”, These words causes Fluttershy’s mouth to go agape as slimes began to rain down from the skies and attack the goblins, some of them even eats a goblin by forcing them into their bodies causing the goblin within to dissolve into nothing. Everyone on the ground level looks on with shocked expressions as the slimes continue to rain down and start killing off the goblin army. This causes some of the other members of the town aside from Fluttershy to respond:
“Wait, they’re helping us?” - Tanner The Guide.
“Well I’ll be damned...” - Vinny The Demolitionist.
“Woah...” - Rainbow Dash.
“So, do we shoot it or just let it keep eating them?” - Ceeman The Arms Dealer.
“You kidding me?, let them eat the green bastards.” - Lucan The Merchant.
“OH. MY. GOSH. This only happens once in a millennia at least according to the documents given to me by-” - Twilight.
“Twilight!” - Rarity and Starlight.
Fluttershy flies down, with the small green slime still on her head, and meets up with Twilight and her fellow ponies. The yellow pegasus walks up to them and asks:
“What’s going on here everypony?, I’m grateful for their help but how did they-”
”Goddess Fluttershy!”, Princess Pinkie says as she hops onto the shy mares back, as this goes on the rest of the goblin army either runs away or are being killed off by the slime hoard.
“Princess Pinkie!, did you do this?, thank you so very much!”, Fluttershy says as she and the other ponies smile at the slime princess. All of the Terrarians along with Rainbow Dash arrive as well. Pinkie, Helena, and Applejack are still in the library.
”I simply informed my father about your predicament and of your kindness Goddess Fluttershy, he is responsible for this.”, Princess Pinkie replies.
As if on cue, a large blue slime wearing a crown lands before them causing the area to shake.
”Who among thou is the Goddess Fluttershy?”, The Slime King asks in a rather deep voice compared to the other slimes. Everyone stares in amazement, with a small bit of fear, at the sight before them. Here was a slime so large it could simply hop right over their towns walls maybe even plow through it if the being chose to. Fluttershy takes a deep breath and walks forward with Princess Pinkie and a green slime on her back. Fluttershy’s friends were being very cautious as they whisper to the shy pegasus to ‘be careful’ as she passed by. She stands before the King Slime and says:
“Um, that would be me your majesty. I, um, hope I didn’t offend you.”, The King Slime ‘stares’ at her for a moment, despite not having a face everyone present could tell, before he then extends a blue tendril from his body and sets it onto her head.
”By my decree as The Slime King, I hereby grant you the power to summon those of my kingdom to your beck and call, I shall give to thee: The Slime Staff.
