-TERRARIA, MEADOW CLEARING-

The sun continues to beam down upon an open meadow of lush green grass as Fluttershy, King Slime, and the newly revealed Queen Slime, formerly Princess Pinkie, now stood on opposite sides of each other. Both slimes on one side, Fluttershy on the other.

“It is time to properly train you to use your prowess, Goddess Fluttershy,” King Slime said as the entity’s body seemingly bounces in place without actually hopping into the air.

Fluttershy nods in response, “I know I still have much to learn, your majesty.”

The two slime royalty look at each other before laughing in response which causes the yellow pegasus to tilt her head in confusion.

“You don’t need to address us as so, Fluttershy,” Queen Slime says after recovering from her laughter. “You are the Core of The Slime Gods, your authority is absolute within the hierarchy of our kind.”

“Oh dear, no, I could never ask for that,” The shy mare said while hiding her face behind her mane, “I don’t w-want any special treatment.”

The Slime King lets loose a content ‘humming’ sound before saying:

“The Slime Gods have truly chosen a worthy bearer of their core,” A blue aura surrounds the Slime King, “And that is exactly why we shall commence your training.”

Suddenly, an event all too familiar takes place as the skies all around them seemingly gray out, as if it were about to start raining. Then, it did indeed start to rain, but not in the traditional fashion as a large multitude of dome-shaped entities fell to the earth in an almost meteor-like fashion.

Fluttershy looked on with amazement as she could see slimes of multiple colors. However, she could soon feel the earth-shaking all around her as various mounds of dirt were thrown up into the air. Other slime entities were emerging as a result, but most notably, these were slimes that one would often find underground such as Mother Slimes, and even those from The Underworld itself, Lava Slimes.

Soon enough, a large army now stood before the pegasus which admittedly made her feel a slight sense of dread as she says:

“Oh, m-my…”

“Steel yourself, Goddess Fluttershy,” Queen Pinkie comments, her voice echoing throughout the landscape. “We’ve seen you cast aside your fears in order to meet your opposition. In fact, thanks to our Desert Slimes, we saw how you performed during your training with The Ancient: Anubis.”

The yellow pegasus’s ears perk up, “You were watching us?” She questions.

“We were indeed, Fluttershy,” King Slime said. “We’ve already spoken to Anubis, but it would seem that a new Ancient has taken up today’s training regiment with your friends.”

As this goes on, the large army of nearly every type of slime hops to and fro as even those with wings were present.

“As such, we spoke to the one called Silence and he is aware of our arrangement with you. In fact, he was very agreeable to the idea.” Queen Pinkie says.

Fidgeting nervously, Fluttershy asks:

“S-so, um, does this mean that-”

“You will be facing us ALL in combat, Core of the Slime Gods.” King Slime interjects.

The multitude of slimes seems to get very excited as their hopping became more rapid and all the more expressive. However, Fluttershy’s eyes widen when she sees a new series of slimes manifest before her very eyes. A number of red and purple gelatine orbs were beginning to form and unify separately, similar to how King Slime and Queen Pinkie were formed, but these dome-shaped entities were very resemblant to both Ebonian and Crimulan.

Upon seeing these new--yet familiar--entities, a sense of regret instantly filled the yellow pegasus as she lowers her head and says:

“I’m so sorry, Crimulan, Ebonian…”

“Do not be sorry, my dear.” The Ebonian-like slime responds.

“You must now become better, stronger.” The Crimulan-like slime replies.

The yellow pegasus’s head raises up with shocked facial features, which then turn into happiness, “Oh my gosh! Ebonian! Crimulan! You’re ok!” Fluttershy exclaims as she then runs into the gelatinous form of the Crimulan-like slime, rears up, and hugs it, “I’m so happy to see you two again,” She gently breaks away from the hug and turns towards the Ebonian-like slime entity, “But, how are you two here if you’re still at The Dungeon?”

“The slimes you see before you are embodiments of our consciousness and mere fractions of our power.” The Ebonian-like slime answers.

“No matter where we are, and so long as you live, we are also everywhere and exist through every slime.” The Crimulan-like slime comments.

The two slime entities entends a tendril and point them in unison towards the shy pegasus before saying in unison:

“But you embody ALL of our power. You are the core to not only ourselves, but by extension, the entire race of slimes.”

Every slime in attendance, even King Slime and Queen Pinkie, begin to chant:

“All hail Goddess Fluttershy!”

“Hail to The Core!”

“Long live the Slime Goddess!”

A vibrant blush appears on the yellow pegasus’s cheeks, “Thank you, everyone,” She looks away in a shy fashion, “I really appreciate it, but, um, p-please, I don’t want to be praised like this.”

“We understand, beloved core, but that is why these slimes adore you.” The Ebonian-like slime says.

“You do not take advantage of them, nor us. And even when you call on their power, you still ask for their permission.” The Crimulan-like slime comments.

Both the Slime King and Queen Pinkie hop forth and soon position themselves before Fluttershy, but just behind the two Slime God-like entities.

“That is why we all wish to help you grow in strength, to properly defend yourself when we can’t help you.” Queen Pinkie said.

“Now prepare yourself, Fluttershy, and call upon our might in order to face us all in this battle.” King Slime states proudly.

The large legion of slimes all wait in silence as Fluttershy seemingly closes her eyes in focus. A multicolored aura leaves the core insignia located on her cutie mark before it then spreads to the rest of her body.

“You’ve only been calling upon the powers of individual types of slimes during your training in the Desert Biome.” The Crimulan-like slime says.

“Now, you must call upon ALL of them. As much as you can muster. Just as you saw us do in The Dungeon, during our battle with Greed.” The Ebonian-like slime said.

Fluttershy’s mane and tail are lifted into the air as a powerful rainbow-colored aura surrounds her form. The local landscape begins to quake in response as even the skies themselves start to darken before a series of lightning flashes across the skies. Unbeknownst to the yellow pegasus, however, was the fact that this phenomenon had reached the nearby settlements.

-TERRARIA, SETTLEMENT A-

The denizens of a town comprised of multiple houses, taverns, shops, and even a large farm looked up to the darkened skies. Multicolored flashes of lightning could be seen high above, and although the quakes weren’t devastating to the town, everyone could still feel the chaotic movements of the local landscape.

“What in the name of Terra is happening?!”

“Mommy, why is there rainbow lightning in the sky?”

“My cabbages! They’re falling over!”

“What in tarnation?! Get all the farm animals into the barn!”

……….

-TERRARIA, SETTLEMENT B-

Much like the other settlement, those within this one were observing the event with awe, fear, and curiosity. Guards were looking on with the same expressions while positioned atop the stone comprised walls that surrounded the town, in a similar fashion to Home Town.

“Guards! See to the safety of the townsfolk!” A female terrarian shouts; wearing obvious captain attire with a golden coloration.

“Yes, Ma’am!” The many guards shout in unison as they heed the Captain’s orders.

……….

A number of other settlements also have the same, and unique, reactions as they all bore witness to the event caused by the yellow pegasus.

-TERRARIA, MEADOW CLEARING-

Fluttershy was now standing within a crater that was formed from the aura that surrounded her. Her eyes were currently closed as her mane and tail fluttered about by the wind resulting from her current prowess. Then, the pegasus opens her eyes as multicolored energy consumes them entirely. Not even her pupils were visible as a result.

A large number of slimes before her look on in awe as they hop in anticipation and positioned themselves at the edges of the crater. Slimes who were capable of flight are readying themselves to swoop down upon their empowered foe. Others who possessed elemental-like capabilities began to charge up as Ice slimes, Lava Slimes, and Sand Slimes ready their matching abilities.

“Prepare yourself, Goddess Fluttershy!” Queen Pinkie exclaims. “We all adore you, but we will not hold back because this training is for your own good!”

“Indeed!” King Slime comments. “Prepare to face the might of the Slime Kingdom!”

Fluttershy nods in response as she then raises a forehoof and places it onto her chest, “Heart of the lion.” Upon saying those words, a pink aura momentarily flashes throughout the pegasus’s entire form.

“Well done, Fluttershy,” Queen Pinkie comments. “You used my ability to affect emotions in order to prepare yourself. Stow your fears, it’s now or never!”

The yellow pegasus looked up towards all the slimes that stood at the crater’s edge, looking down upon her, as the Crimulan and Ebonian-like slime entities say in unison:

“Are you prepared to fight, beloved Core?!”

The yellow pegasus lowers herself to the ground and prepares to kick off of it; flapping her wings in anticipation before shouting:

“I’m ready!”
