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.
