Searching for gems[]
"The last time I was here..."
"...I woke them and ended up with..."
"...a mane full of bats!"
"Thanks for being my basket holder, Spike."
"Basket holder?"
"I thought I was your bodyguard."
"What? Oh, heh, yes, yes..."
"...that of course, too."
"For once I wish unicorn magic..."
"...wasn't so..."
"...luminescent!"
"Spike!"
"You'll wake the bats!"
"Turn that off!"
"I can't!"
Poor Rarity.
At Twilight's castle[]
"Twilight!"
"There's something wrong with Spike!"
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know!"
"Little is known about dragon culture..."
"...but this is a phenomenon we've seen before."
"It is the call of the Dragon Lord."
"Dragons glow whenever the Dragon Lord..."
"...has need of them in the Dragon Lands."
"Great."
"How do I make it stop?!"
"The only way to end the summons is to answer it."
"You must journey to the Dragon Lands..."
"...and see what is expected of you."
"But the Dragon Lands are full of..."
"...dragons!"
"And they're ghastly creatures!"
"Not you, of course, Spikey-wikey."
"But remember that rotten Garble?"
"How could I forget?"
"If I have to go to the Dragon Lands..."
"... would you two come with me?"
"I'd love to!"
Yeah, Twilight? Research...
...and an article...
...aren't the reasons...
...you're going with Spike!
Are you done "sci-geeking" out, Twilight?
"Be very careful."
"The Dragon Lands are particularly dangerous for ponies."
"It would be wise to be discreet."
"I'm sure I still have the dragon costume we used..."
"...the last time we snuck into the Dragon Lands!"
"I think we might want something a little more practical this time."
Spike and Garble meet again[]
Dragon Lord Torch speaks to the dragons[]
"Agree with me!"
"Who is that?"
"It's Dragon Lord Torch, dummy."
"No, next to him."
This dragon's actually pretty cute.
"I wouldn't even look at her if I were you..."
"...unless you want Torch to you!"
"Dragons are notoriously reckless..."
"...but they do whatever the Dragon Lord says!"
"Unfortunately, according to dragon law..."
"...it is time for me to step down."
"Sad, I know."
"Be sad!"
"This is why I have summoned you – to compete for the throne..."
"...in the Gauntlet of Fire!"
"We are learning so much!"
"You even sneeze like a pony."
"The Gauntlet is dangerous..."
"...for designed it myself!"
"Only dragons with my ferocity..."
"...strength..."
"...and determination..."
"...will be able to finish."
Face-to-face with the Dragon Lord[]
Huh?
"Where do you think you're going, little dragon?!"
"Oh, uh, hi, your Lordship. Uh, I was just going home!"
"You don't get to leave unless say you can!"
"Dad, look at him. He's just a runt."
"Besides, he doesn't even wanna compete."
"Let him go."
"He is rather tiny."
"I could squish him with my pinky claw."
"That wasn't a joke. It's a fact."
"When I want you to laugh, I will say..."
"...be amused!"
"Very well then, little dragon."
"I release you."
"Thank you!"
"And thank you."
Whatever.
Ember's participation refused / Spike wants in[]
Stop there.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"To prepare for the Gauntlet.."
"No, you're not."
"You're not much bigger than that runt I sent home!"
"But I'm smarter than most of these boulderheads..."
"...and you know it!"
"Being smart won't help you win this Gauntlet!"
"It's designed for a big, strong dragon to win..."
"...because it takes a big, strong dragon to lead!"
"Besides..."
"I said no!"
Anyone else noting a slight "Little Mermaid" reference?
"When I become Dragon Lord..."
"...I will make burps an official greeting!"
"Please!"
"When I win, I will pillage Equestria for all their pillows."
"Why should these ponies be comfortable..."
"...while we sleep on rocks?"
"That's nothing!"
"When I'm in charge..."
"...the first thing I'll do is to get revenge on those puny ponies!"
"They'll regret they ever crossed Garble!"
"We'll take whatever we want from Equestria and burn the rest!"
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I hope that burping dragon wins!"
"I have to win the Gauntlet of Fire!"
The race is on![]
"You can't even fly!" That's because he hasn't had his molt yet.
That green dragon with the golden armor looks familiar.
"He's gonna drown!"
Meeting Princess Ember[]
"Hey, are you okay?"
Ember?! But weren't your scales green in some scenes before?
Oh, wait, that trail of green paint explains everything.
"Only saving your ungrateful scales!"
"Ponies?"
"I have a Gauntlet to win."
"But I thought your dad said that—"
"I don't care what my dad said!"
"I'll show him..."
"...and every dragon who think I'm just a little princess..."
"...there are better things than being big and strong!"
"Don't leave me here, Spike!"
"Wow, you even smell like ponies."
"Uh, that's just me."
"I, uh, robbed some ponies on my way over here."
"I like your style."
Spike and Ember team up[]
"Are you sure it's a good idea to team up with Ember?"
If Twilight is on top of Rarity, who (or what) is Rarity standing on?
Did anyone get the number of that truck?! (faints)
Every dragon for themselves / Ditched[]
"She was only looking out for herself."
Retrieving the scepter[]
Twilight, Rarity! Please use your magic!
Bow down to the...
Bow down to the... KING.
Spike is the King! (it's not a shipping; but...) Ember for his Queen?
Spike the Dragon Lord / Passing the scepter to Ember[]
Spike: "Leave her alone!"
Go, and don't show your face again until everydragon thinks you're a wimp!
*Squee!* Senpai noticed me!
Spike follows the example of Vardamir.
In passing the torch (obvious pun), Spike is the best dragon. 'Nuff said.
"Well, you'll have at least one friend here too."
"What are you doing?"
"It's called a hug!"
Because Friendship is Magic
We ship it! <3
Dragon Lord Ember / Returning home[]
"Ember? You?"
"I know you didn't think I could do it, but I did."
"I expressly told you..."
"...not to do it! Because you're not—!"
"I'm not big and strong. I know."
"But you know what? I won anyway."
"So maybe it takes more than just being big and strong to be a good Dragon Lord!"
"I was wrong, Ember."
"You might not be big, but you are strong and smart, and perhaps that counts for more than I thought."
"And you will make an excellent leader."
"Thanks, Dad."
"Agree with him!"
"Just kidding!"
"That's not gonna be my thing."
"What is the meaning of this?"
"I can't tell you!"
"Plus, Ember said I could write to her anytime I had questions about dragon culture!"
"With this much information..."
"...I'll be able to write a whole book on dragons!"
"And I gained tons of ideas..."
"...for a new line of camouflage clothing!"
"I think I'll call it "Camo-Maud"!" (It's kind of like hide and seek but way more intense.)
