Twilight woke up once again back in her home. She really wanted to help that "cursed" old man in the temple-like structure, but she also really didn't want to deal with those giant flying skulls. And there was the matter of getting across the bloody hills yet again, which was never a pleasant experience. She found herself almost wishing Fodder was here, just for the purpose of him explaining what the hay she was supposed to do. Of course, she was also pretty sure he would just tell her in the most roundabout way while also somehow getting her killed.

But Twilight still hadn't satisfied her urge to go exploring. She wanted to see if she could get up into the sky and see what was up there, but she knew of no ways to do so. The only method that might work was if she just built a very tall tower, but she wasn't sure how it would stay standing. She looked toward the arena that had been made in her backyard, which confirmed to her that physics didn't work quite the same in this world and there could very well be floating platforms or ridiculous towers. But, even if she decided to make a tower, she knew she would need a lot of materials to do so, which she could probably get in abundance from gouging out the land beneath her.

As she came upon that train of thought, Twilight suddenly had an idea. If she couldn't very well go up or sideways, perhaps she could go down? She decided that would be a brilliant idea, and she would be able to maybe satisfy her inner explorer. She might need more torches to light up the place, though, and would have to go slime hunting to do so. As she exited her house with a sword at the ready, Twilight wondered just when she had decided going out to mass-murder creatures for their resources was a good idea.

Ponyville

The ice slime was bored. Really, really bored. The strange horses beneath it seemed to have just fallen asleep as they were completely chilled, which meant the slime probably didn't have to watch them anymore. Which was good for it, since it was not only bored, but also really tired. It really wanted to see what else existed where this town resided, which it couldn't really do if it was just staying in one place the whole time.

Being mindful of the knocked out horses, it carefully hopped off of the one currently beneath it. It could feel that the horses were still very frozen, which might change soon. Of course, the slime wasn't even sure how long they would stay frozen, since it seemed to be in an entirely different world that didn't seem to be run on programs and timers. It took another ginger hop away from the horses, noting that they were still fast asleep. Then it took another, and another, until it was merrily bounding away in a random direction.

The slime turned a corner, not knowing what might be around it, and came across the Eye of Cthulhu flying about with reckless abandon. Upon closer inspection, the slime could see something very white stuck between its jaws, and could also see the multicolored remains of many of its comrades covering the entire area. It also noticed a horde of slimy zombies gathering under the giant eye, all bumping into each other as they tried to follow it. It had to admit that was pretty funny, even if it was simultaneously sad that so many slimes had been turned into goop. It promptly forgot about all of that stuff and resumed its merry bounding.

Meanwhile, the Eye of Cthulhu was in a very strange and somewhat embarrassing situation. Not only was it covered pupil to trailing flesh in slime residue, but it was also unable to do anything to the super slimy super horse in its mouth. It could also faintly hear the horse saying something along the lines of "release me you fiend," but that wasn't really important at all.

It was interrupted be the otherworldly screeches of its brethren flying in to see what could be the problem. The larger eye grunted as best as it could that there was something stuck in its teeth that it couldn't get out. The smaller eyes screed that they would try to help, but they also screed in amusement that their boss had been defeated by lowly dental problems. As they set to work trying to pry the struggling horse out of the giant mouth in front of them, the Eye growled in mock humor at the situation befalling it, which it reminded the smaller ones was being experienced by itself and ultimately wasn't funny at all.

Meanwhile, Celestia was stuck quite thoroughly in the giant eyeball's mouth, and had to unfortunately deal with the giant monster's slobbery breathing, which reminded her that she might need to take a nice, long bath once this madness was over. Suddenly, she was assaulted by round things smashing into various locations on her still very slimy body, and was greeted by a screeching eye appearing in her face. As she started to struggle, the eye in front of her smashed into her face. It pulled back, getting ready to smash her again, but Celestia re-positioned her head just enough that the eye skewered itself on her horn. Then another eye appeared in front of her, and she realized that she would be unable to skewer this one, and now she also had a rotten eye on her horn. She groaned inwardly about the situation she was in, even as the what she assumed were all eyes trying to smack her out of the giant mouth.

We return to the slime as it managed to find a nice path to follow up into the wilderness. It was a very winding path, but it found a lot of fun in trying to follow it exactly, even when it twisted into itself and started to do loop-de-loops. Eventually, the slime found itself in front of a very nice little cottage with a number of both tiny and not so tiny animals gathered around it. The slime bounced up the steps and stopped right in front of the door. It could see a handle, but it would be unable to turn it given that it was just a blob. It shot some ice at the door, fully expecting it to just shatter on it, but was pleasantly surprised when it smashed right through the door and onto the leg of another horse-thing.

The pony inside, which we would know as Fluttershy, was, understandably, very freaked out when she felt her leg suddenly go cold and numb, and used her remaining three legs to jump away from the now shattered door. A split second later, a long, serpentine arm shot out and opened the door the proper way, even if it ended up falling flat on its front afterwards.

The single-toothed amalgamation of various different animal parts scowled at the shivering ice slime, and said, "Who goes there!" in a gruff voice. It also had a police cap on its head, for some reason.

Discord's demeanor immediately changed when he saw what, exactly went there. He scooped up the slime and started to cuddle it, and started making baby noises at it, while still sounding very gruff. He turned to where Fluttershy's rump was sticking in the air and brought the confused slime over. "It's perfectly fine, Flutters, it's just a cute little blob thing!"

When Fluttershy refused to stop "hiding," Discord sighed and pushed the couch to the side, causing it to bunch up like a strange couch-accordion hybrid. With nothing left to support her, Fluttershy fell flat on her back, being able to easily see both Discord and the slime. She suddenly shot forward and started cuddling the still being held slime, which was probably not used to this kind of attention.

Of course, it was still an ice slime, and Fluttershy wasn't immune to the cold like Discord was, so she almost immediately froze and fell back down, still snuggling the slime. The slime made a little protesting squeak at the strength of Fluttershy's grasp, and attempted to slide out of it. Being a partially frozen amorphous blob, it wasn't able to squeeze itself out with nearly as much success as other, non-frozen amorphous blobs.And since its constant presence was causing the pony holding it to never unfreeze, it would probably be stuck in that position until something else did something.

Discord, instead of trying to pry the blob out, instead put a very tacky multicolored blanket with Discord faces all over it on the frozen pony before heading outside. He took out a telescope, facing the wrong direction, and looked over at the town of Ponyville, where he could see a number of chaotic events happening everywhere. He chuckled heartily at the thought of Celestia stuck in a giant eyeball's mouth, but he also knew that something else was causing the chaos, which Discord didn't like very much. He really wanted to be the one causing the chaos himself, and he definitely didn't want to kill ponies like those zombies did to the team Sun-Butt sent. With that in mind, he put away the map and began a leisurely stroll towards Ponyville. Maybe, he thought, if I take as long as possible geting to town, something more exciting will happen!

Feeling satisfied about the result of his backwards thought of train, he got out a plaid green and orange adventuring jacket and started walking with exaggerated arm movements.

Terraria

Twilight really hoped her friends were doing alright without her. She was pretty sure they were, but something might have happened as she was gone that would require all of the Elements of Harmony to defeat, in which case they wouldn't have much luck without her.

Thoughts like this were what Twilight experienced as she made the super long tunnel straight down. She was starting to feel kind of hot from being so deep own, but otherwise was perfectly fine. She had found a few caves on her journey down, but decided she would explore those later.

Twilight dug away yet another layer of stone, and a wave of heat washed over her. As soon as she had recovered, Twilight looked through the hole in the floor and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw a literal ocean of lava beneath her. Twilight would probably have to be real careful as she attempted to continue her tunnel.

She had started to extend the tunnel into the hellish landscape, when she heard something digging through the ground. She turned towards where she heard it, and was very surprised to see a giant, bony dragon skull, which knocked her off of the platform and into the lava below. In her final moments before dying, Twilight was just able to scream angrily at everything before her melted self exploded into melted remains, which then melted further.

Oh my god! They killed Twilight!
You bastards!
Also, craziness.
