1 | * [[BadassAdorable Spike]] gets a ''huge'' one in chapter 4 where he manages to fight off two ''fully grown stallions'' for a significant period of time with nothing more than claws and adrenaline. Granted they ''were'' kidnapping him. As Shock put it: |
2 | -->''I tell you, if you tick off a dragon it doesn’t matter if it’s an adult or a baby, it will give your [[UnusualEuphemism flank a spanking.]]'' |
3 | * Twilight snapped at two Diamond Dogs in chapter 5 |
4 | -->'''Twilight''': I'm terribly sorry…I must have made that sound like a request. '''It wasn't'''. Call one of your onithopters. |
5 | * Then there's her little soiree with Zeitgeist and his small army. [[CurbStompBattle Curbs]] are involved. |
6 | * An evil but no less awesome one from Tirac |
7 | --> '''Tirac''': Plan B… |
8 | ** Which is then countered by, of all people, Spike. Best encapsulated in this little exchange |
9 | -->'''Tirac''': Oh no! What’re you going to do with [the wrench]? Fix the plumbing?\ |
10 | '''Spike''': No…I’m gonna wreck your power generators, allowing my friends and I to escape and preventing you from phasing your penetrator thingy. Clear?\ |
11 | '''Tirac''': Oh? Please, tell me how you plan to destroy three multi-ton generators twenty meters away whilst surrounded on all sides by my faithful servants… with nothing but a wrench.\ |
12 | '''Spike''': Easy. You ever hear the story of the watchmaker in the desert?\ |
13 | '''Tirac''': [[SarcasmFailure No, actually.]]\ |
14 | '''Spike''': That’s because I made it up just now.\ |
15 | '''Tirac''': Ah. Tell me then, how does it go?\ |
16 | '''Spike''': A watch maker takes his pocket watch into the desert. It stops working. The end.\ |
17 | '''Tirac''': Ooh kid! [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Post that one on Equestria Daily, I’m sure it’ll get six stars!]]\ |
18 | '''Spike''': The moral of the story, you see…(inhales, preparing to use his teleportation breath)…Is that small things in the right place can cause big problems; like a grain of sand in the gears of a pocket watch or, say…A wrench in a turbine?\ |
19 | '''Tirac''': (OhCrap reaction) |
20 | * And finally the ending of Twilight's [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge light stroll]] |
21 | -->'''Twilight''': Are you the one they call Gabbro?\ |
22 | '''Tirac''': Well, I’m ''wearing'' the one they call Gabbro. I'm Tirac, [[BlasphemousBoast the monster who killed all but three of this world’s gods half-a-million years ago]], pleased to meet you.\ |
23 | '''Twilight''': You could be Radian for all I care. The dragon in your arms, hand him over and I’ll consider [[BadassBoast leaving your skeleton where it is.]]\ |
24 | '''Tirac''': Oh! Was that a threat from a pony? I think I’m in love!\ |
25 | (One OhCrap later)\ |
26 | '''Zeitgeist''': Never you mind that, the dragon will be back with us in a matter of moments.\ |
27 | ([[FoeTossingCharge Tirac crashes right trough the wall and into another]]) |
28 | ** The fic should have been called '''Don't Piss Off Twilight Sparkle''' |
29 | * And finally, [[RedemptionEqualsDeath what becomes of Gabbro]] after he regains control from Tirac. Gabbro may have been [[MindControl turned into a monster by Tirac]], but in the end, seeing him take his destroyer [[HeroicSacrifice down into death with him]] with Tirac ''groveling for his life'' was every kind of awesome. |
