-TERRARIA, HOME TOWN-
Quickly rushing into action, Pinkie Pie zooms off into a pink blur which fires directly into a skeletal limb that was contending with Katelyn The Mechanic and various other terrarians of Home Town.
“Yah!” Pinkie Pie roars out as she spins around in the air with so much speed that she becomes reminiscent of a blue-pink whirlwind, the blue coloration likely a result of The Muramasa. Like a powerful axe cutting through a tree, Pinkie Pie cuts apart the skeletal limbs of Skeletron. Most interestingly though was the fact that the limbs were unable to regenerate themselves as a blue aura consumed them via The Muramasa’s strike.
“Awesome, Pinkie Pie!” Rainbow Dash exclaims.
“Of course!” Steven The Clothier shouts. “So that's why Lunaris and I saw Skeletron protecting that blade all those years ago. That’s our ticket to victory!”
“Yeehaw! In that case, let’s get to destroyin’ these here limbs!” Applejack exclaims.
Everyone present continues to fight against the skeletal limbs all while Pinkie Pie finishes them off with The Muramasa. During this time, Fluttershy and Princess Pinkie were currently conversing with each other as the slime Princess says:
“Now that Pinkie Pie has the key to destroying our foe, we must go up there with the others and help them defeat the main portion of Skeletron’s body. It’s time, Goddess Fluttershy, let us summon The Slime Gods!”
Fluttershy nods in response to the pink slime’s request as she closes her eyes in concentration. The Core Of The Slime Gods insigma that was present on her flank/cutie mark started to glow with a red and purple aura upon which said aura started to spread out throughout her entire body. Mere moments afterwards, two dome-shaped large entities start to form alongside the yellow pegasus both of which consisted of the same coloration as the aura that currently surrounded Fluttershy: Red and purple.
This event immediately catches the attention of the former prisoners of The Dungeon, in addition to Tempest The Bandit, all of whom watch on with widened eyes and shocked expressions.
“Holy shit! Giant slimes?!” Jeremy The Angler exclaims.
“By Terra… those are The Slime Gods. I’ve read about them before but to see them for myself is simply extraordinary.” Magius The Wizard comments.
Livian The Stylist, Katelyn The Mechanic, Tempest The Bandit, and Ross Bosman simply watches in awe all while Candy The Party Girl hops in place, clapping her hands in a celebratory fashion.
Steven The Clothier was equally shocked as he turns to Rarity, who was currently positioned besides him, and says:
“That’s amazing, has your friend always been able to do that?”
“It’s more of a recent addition, darling.” Rarity responds.
“She’s totally awesome! She used this when we were back in The Crimson and kicked that Cthorator jerk’s hide!” Rainbow Dash exclaims. A pink blur suddenly appears next to Rainbow Dash as Pinkie Pie starts to pluck pieces of bone out of her mane and says:
“She’s totally super duperly amazing! Also, it’s going to take forever to get these bones out of my mane, hehe.”
“Now that we have them at our side, go forth yellow butterfly and show our foe the might of the gods of slimes.” Zecora says as she and Gex draw near the group after defeating another limb of Skeletron upon which Pinkie Pie zooms by and destroys the limb permanently with her Muramasa.
Fluttershy starts to float into the air with the two Slime Gods at her side as she exclaims with a red and purple aura in her eyes; said aura also surrounding her form:
“Return to slime!”
Twilight, Shadow Thunder, Starlight, Celebes, Tori, and Linn continue to combat against the large skull in addition to its three smaller clones along with the two largest skeletal arms of all that were present.
Tori was currently in combat with two of the smaller skulls of Skeletron. Both of the skull’s crimson eyes start to radiate with a red aura and after a brief moment, both of their mouths open up upon which a beam of red energy shoots towards the humanoid bird. Both of the beams make contact however what happens next shocks both of the entities as the being they blasted was revealed to be a clone. The real Tori reappears behind both of the skulls as the humanoid bird brings out two pistols and duel wields them, taking aim at each of the skulls.
[BANG-BANG]
Both of the ranged weaponry fires off in tandem as they blast a hole in the back of the two skull entities which results in them roaring out in a fit of rage. The hole then starts to reform itself but not before Tori throws a set of explosives into each of them which results in the two skulls exploding from the inside out, shattering them into pieces. Sadly, this was a momentary victory for Tori as the pieces of the shattered skulls started to reform themselves, much to the humanoid bird’s annoyance.
Linn was currently battling with one of the largest arms of Skeletron, in one on one combat. In an impressive display of strength, the female terrarian was almost amazonian-like as she was currently pushing against a clenched fist of the large skeletal arm.
“Hah! Is that all you got?!” Linn then grits her teeth as she grabs onto the fist and roars out as she starts to spin in place. As a result, the skeletal arm was currently being forced into a spinning whirlwind with Linn serving as the metaphorical center of the twister. “Let me put you into a grave!” Linn roars out as she finally releases the skeletal appendage and sends it hurling down into the earth below which results into a small crater. The skeletal appendage shatters on impact but before Linn could celebrate, the shattered remains of the appendage starts to reform themselves to which she roars out in irritation:
“For fucks sake! Just stay down!”
Shadow Thunder and Starlight Glimmer were currently contending with the other largest skeletal arm of Skeletron as the duo performs combos and various attacks in tandem. Using his powers, Shadow vanishes into the darkness, taking Starlight with him, as the two dodges a clenched fist that was rocketing towards them. They both reappear behind the skeletal arm as Starlight fires off a powerful beam of magic which makes contact and explodes on impact. This results in pieces of the large arm being blown off upon which the skeletal limb tries to retaliate by turning around and rocketing towards the duo once more. However, a sudden bunch of tentacle-like appendages which was comprised of darkness and shadows wraps around the arm; halting it in place.
“Blast this thing with all you’ve got, Starlight!” Shadow Thunder exclaims.
“I’m on it!” Starlight responds with her horn currently alighted and conjuring forth her weapon: Starfury. She starts to barrage the bounded skeletal appendage with magical energy blasts and pink falling stars which explodes on impact, thanks to her blade. This results in the skeletal appendage slowly starting to fall apart from the onslaught all while Shadow Thunder makes sure to keep the appendage bound and held in place. After a few moments of Starlight’s relentless assault, the appendage completely falls apart as shattered bones start to fall in the process. The two ponies bump hooves as Shadow Thunder says:
“Nice work, beautiful.”
“You weren’t so bad yourself, Sha-” Starlight’s words were cut off as she and her pegasus ally observes the skeletal appendage slowly starting to reform itself as the shattered bones join together.
“Well… buck…” The two ponies comment in unison with a deadpan expression.
Twilight and Celebes were unleashing all of their power against what was easily the main and strongest appendage of Skeletron: The largest skull. It wasn’t alone however as one of the smaller skulls was accompanying it while the other two skulls were still fighting against Tori.
“Fools, no matter how hard you hit me, no matter how many times I ‘fall’, I’m always good for a laugh as I regenerate myself.” Skeletron antagonizes as the large skull then rushes forth with its maw agape, ready to eat both twilight and Celebes whole. Twilight grabs Celebes with her left forehoof as she then fires up her horn and teleports them both away, dodging Skeletron’s approach as a result. They then reappear behind him and are about to counterattack. However, Skeletron chuckles to himself and says while facing away from them:
“Your pathetic allies have already done that trick to my other limbs, I won’t fall for it.” After saying those words, the smaller skull that was accompanying Skeletron manifests itself right next to Twilight and Celebes as the two turn in shock towards the entity whose mouth was now starting to open up.
-Dammit! We can't dodge that in time!- Celebes says internally as she then turns to Twilight and attempts to shield her from the attack. Suddenly, a familiar figure zooms past the skull entity which results in a slice wound being left behind onto the skull. The skull’s attack is interrupted as the assailant responsible starts to come into view accompanied by a series of giggling.
“Hey there, Twilight! Your aunty Pinkie Pie is here to help!” Pinkie Pie exclaims happily as she wields The Muramasa. “Oh! And turn around, I brought some help.” Heeding to Pinkie Pie’s request, Twilight and Celebes turn around only to see many figures behind them which consisted of ponies, terrarians, a goblin, a lihzhard, and a zebra.
A large red and purple aura also joins the fray which was accompanied by two large entities. This causes Twilight to smirk as she recognizes a certain yellow pegasus who now stood alongside the two large dome shaped beings.
Fluttershy points a hoof towards Skeletron and exclaims with a powerful tone:
“Prepare to feel our combined wrath, Lord Of The Undead!”
