-TERRARIA, THE UNDERWORLD-

A writhing mass of flesh starts to form itself all around the ‘surface dwellers’, of whom still took on a combative stance, as obsidian structures become covered by what could best be described as sentient gore. Eyes, mouths, and all manner of body parts could be seen manifesting; along with tentacled appendages with gnashing jaws set at their ends. All accompanied by the legion of laughter that echoes throughout the area, akin to an audience being present.

Sounds of shattered glass and crumbling bricks follow suit as the tentacles of the monstrous Wall of Flesh tighten their grasp, crushing various buildings. In addition, the very ground of the hellish realm is cracked open as even more fleshy appendages rise from the breach. Pools of lava creating tidal waves as the commotion sends ripples throughout the scorching seas.

“Surrender your flesh and souls, morsels. We promise to make it quick,” The Wall comments, although some of their appendages have ‘fingers’ crossed. Its legion of eyes then focuses on Pound Cake, “Ah, would you like to see your family again, child? Come… uncle Nyar can take you to them.”

Pinkie Pie growls in response as she shields the child within her forehooves, “Leave him alone! His aunty Pinkie Pie will cut you if you try anything, meanie!”

Twilight shoots her gaze towards Rainbow Dash, “Rainbow, catch!” She shouts before tossing Tanner The Doll towards the cyan pegasus, who catches ‘The Guide’ with their forehooves.

“You’re the fastest of us!” The alicorn starts. “You know what to do!”

Rainbow nods in response and flaps her wings, taking to the air with Tanner The Doll held tightly in her grasp. She attempts to move towards the east, but a mass of flesh forms an obstacle in her path, literally forming a large wall that blocked any possibility of heading in that direction.

“Going somewhere? You wound us… and here we thought that you’d like to play, too. After all, isn’t that why you all spent some time ‘training’?” The Wall mocks, followed by a chuckle, “Do you all really think that we don’t know what happens on the surface world?”

“Damnit!” The Doll shouts as Rainbow Dash rejoins the group after realizing that they were completely surrounded. “It’s got us completely surrounded!”

The Wall blocks off every direction as a large number of eyes are present on the obstacle all around them. Each eye starts to glow with purple energy. Seeing this, Sai Sahan shouts:

“Brace yourselves! It’s preparing an attack!”

“Oh, yeah! No shit, Sherlock!” Arche responds.

The entire group prepares to defend themselves with various individuals such as Linn, Twilight, Rarity, Braelor, and Starlight forming a protective barrier, Echo Silhouette and Shadow Thunder supporting them. But their actions are halted as Royal Advisor Neighsay breaks off from the group and approaches the monstrous Wall of Flesh.

“I shall give you all a chance to escape,” The Advisor said. He looks over his right shoulder and focuses on Pinkie Pie, “Please, see to it that the child makes it through this safely.”

Pinkie Pie nods in response, all while Pound Cake looked on with a tearful expression. But the child’s face also sent waves of gratitude towards The Advisor.

“T-thank you…” The remaining Cake family member said.

“Neighsay, what in da’ hay are y’all doin’?!” Applejack shouts, but a hand suddenly places itself onto her right shoulder. Causing the cowmare to turn her head towards its owner.

“He’s buying us time,” Linn comments as she looks onto The Advisor. “Neighsay… thank you for always being loyal to my aunt, and our family.”

“Of course, your highness,” Neighsay responds as he draws away from the group. “After all, me and my ancestors swore an oath. And I intend to keep it to the very end!”

Powerful magic starts to gather within Neighsay’s grasp as his hands moved in circular patterns.

“Fall, molder, and be gone!” Nyarlathotep shouts as the entity unleashes a relentless barrage of magical projectiles from its many eyes.

However, with a flick of his right hand, Neighsay conjures forth a dome-shaped barrier of light-blue energy which covers the group as a whole, including himself. A series of explosions sound off as The Wall’s projectiles bombard against the protective shell. This causes The Advisor to grunt in the effort, sweat forming to emphasize his current strain.

“Move aside, and get ready!” He shouts while aiming his left hand towards the group behind him. “I will unleash all of my might to open the way!”

The group adheres to his request as they shift to the right, but are still positioned within the barrier.

“Is he going to be ok, Linn?!” Twilight asks in concern.

Linn could only look on and observe Neighsay, an expression of sorrow overtaking her, “No, Twilight… his magic is indeed capable, but what he’s doing will drain his body immensely.”

A ball of light-blue energy gathers itself in Neighsay’s left hand, “It’s ready! Good luck, everyone! And may Daedalus’s light shine upon you all!” The Advisor grits his teeth as a powerful magical blast is unleashed from his hand. The blast connects with the obstacle of flesh as the smell of burnt meat soon fills the air.

The rest of the group hurriedly runs towards the newly made breach, and although the wall of flesh starts to regenerate itself to seal them up once more, Neighsay flickers his right hand as light-blue energy manipulates the flesh in telekinetic fashion. Keeping the hole opened in the process.

“Don’t stop! Keep going!” Neighsay exclaims as the group runs through the breach; exiting the walled-off mass of flesh.

“That there Neighsay’s magic is pretty darn good!” Applejack compliments as the group further retreat.

“Of course it is,” Linn responds with a chuckle, running alongside the cowmare, “That’s a descendant of Merlin for you.”

……….

“What did you hope to achieve, mage?” The Wall mocks as its legion of eyes continues to fire their lavender projectiles, bombarding the ever-present barrier. “We knew this looked familiar… you must be a descendant of that wretched mage who aided Shining Armor, King Arthur, and all the others,” Nyarlathotep chuckles, “Although your magic is nothing compared to Merlin’s. You don’t even hold the station of The Wizard like he once did.”

Neighsay laughs, “And you’re as arrogant as ever,” He smirks, “Fallen Outer God.”

“Fallen, yes, but I shall soon rise again!”

“You may rise, but you shall fall! Much like all those who were just like you!” Neighsay retorts as he falls onto his knees; his barrier still holding off the lavender projectiles, but for how much longer was the question.

“There are none like me!”

Neighsay chuckles, turning his head left to right in disagreement, “There are always those like you.”

The barrier finally gives in as it shatters like glass, with magical particles mixed in. However, instead of meeting his doom via the projectiles, Neighsay looked upward as all the eyes of the Wall of Flesh stared down upon him. Their actions ceasing beforehand. Then, a large number of the fleshy tendrils were prepared to lunge forth but restrained themselves as if waiting for an order.

“And now you are defenseless against my might, mortal. I’m going to eat your soul, shit it out, and use the power gained from it to spread carnage all across Terraria. But before I tear you apart piece by little piece... any last words, mage?”

Neighsay lifts himself off from the ground, albeit he had to catch himself from falling over, before lifting his gaze upward and meeting the large number of eyes that stared at him.

“Heh, yeah…” He responds, catching his breath before wiping the sweat from his face. “I always wanted to know… when Shining Armor delivered the blow that reduced you to what you are now,” Neighsay smiles, “How did it feel to be beaten by us ‘mere mortals?’”

The pupils of The Wall’s legion of eyes dilate in anger as a large collective of growls escapes from the many numbers of mouths. But Neighsay doesn’t relent as he points an index finger towards the mass of flesh and shouts:

“Beings like you always look down upon us mortals, and yet, I just love how nine times out of ten, and throughout Terraria’s history, we mortals have always found a way to-!”

The Advisor’s words were cut off as the tendrils of the Wall of Flesh begins to pierce his form. The first appendage went right through his head; another pierced his stomach region. The terrarian’s body was being riddled as if he were shot by a firing squad, torrents of blood oozing from his body.

Following the relentless assault, litters of gore were spewed all around where Neighsay once stood. However, following the terrarian’s death, a pink spherical anomaly manifests itself as it resembles what had once happened with Pinkie Pie: A Soul of Light.

A mouthed tendril of The Wall of Flesh consumes the soul in one bite as Neighsay’s essence fuses with Nyarlathotep’s very being. The action seemingly strengthens the mass of flesh as a crimson aura fluctuates in tandem with the soul’s consumption, all while the entity roars out into the hellish landscape.

After performing the action, The Wall of Flesh’s many eyes turned towards the direction the remaining group members had fled as the multitudes of mouths spoke in unison:

“I admit… all those years ago, I had indeed underestimated you, mortals. But do not forget that it is only because of Terra’s blessings that you filth can even resist us. Just gazing upon the form of an Outer God can drive one mad, even kill them,” The Wall chuckles, “But I am Nyarlathotep! My true form can cause even deities to go insane, and once Terra is removed from the equation, the minds of all beings shall break.”

The mass of flesh lunges itself forward at incredibly high speeds, even using its tentacles of flesh to pull itself forward after grasping onto the obsidian and lava-filled landscape.

The ultimate chase of The Underworld was now beginning.

“Run, run, hit me with your best! For here comes the Wall of Flesh!”

Here we go! The chase begins! I know what some of you might be thinking: "Wait, what about The Doll getting thrown into lava?"

That still plays a HUGE role.
