(Spike faints from exhaustion)

Dragon Dragoon: Me LORD!!! What’s cuttin’ ya??!! Did ya wing got banjaxed??!

Sunny Starscout: Spike! What happened?!

Blaize: He just collapsed!

Foster Filly: Do you need a patch of cupcakes from our bakery??

Luxxe: [groans] I’m not feeling so great either…

Dragon Dragoon: : Come to think of it, I’m feelin’ it too!! My body is just so—knackered—right about now! It feels like I hadn’t slept a wink in a slingtail’s years!!

Fountain: This must be some kind of pony spell. Is this a-a trap?

Oh, Spike. I can’t bare to see you and your friends this exhausted.

__ Misty__: No, it’s the Dragon Stone! It has to be! If Opaline has dragons under her control, she’s using the stone to do it!

Inspector Mare: You’re telling me—that she could STILL hold power over dragons with the stone—even from THAT far away???!!!

Sunny Starscout: If she uses up all of the Dragon Stone’s magic, that could—

Spike: That could put dragons back to sleep for another thousand moons. We can’t let that happen.

Professor:OH NO, then that means we can’t take advantage of our new allies to take out Opaline!! All of this flyin’ around had been a waste of time!!

Rebel Mare: Not everything, Professor….we had gotten this far already, thanks to them…

Spike: Dragons! Come with me! That stone doesn’t belong to this Opaline!

And if we’re gonna have any chance at stopping her, we’re gonna need all the dragon power we have left!

Dragon Dragoon: We are behind you all the way, me lord!! I’ll wapped that oul biddy mare with me single steel claw if she ever shows her bake again!!

ECK! We could probably dunch ’er in our sleep! So purely—makin’ us sleepy could actually make us more powerful!

Luxxe: Spike. What about “the One”? The hatchling?

[Sparky Sparkeroni gurgles]

Dragon Dragoon: We can’t bring that boyo to the fight! He’s already faced so much the last time he met that manky pegacorn!

Deputy Mare: He needs to stay here and guard the station!

Hitch Trailblazer: What?! No! You can’t! He’s just a baby!

No, Luxxe’s right. He did get dragon-napped last time. I know you want him to stay safe Sheriff, but if he got dragon-napped last time, maybe he’ll take the dragonstone and defeat Opaline. And guess what, I’m going with them as well. I need to keep Sparky and the dragons safe, if that’s ok with you.

Dragon Dragoon: This job is not for for weasly fur-boggers like you! With all the mana absorbed into the oul wan, she’ll purely scupper you with no bother!

Not that I care for yer skin, but it’ll be easier if none of you nags get in our path!

Look, I know I’m not a dragon, but please, you need to trust me. If there’s anything you need to tell me, I brought a phone that doesn’t have corrupted footage. I know it’ll be dangerous, but if I fail, consider you guys as my last hope.

Guess what? I also have shielding power, but if Opaline somehow overpowers me, then it’ll be too late, so please promise me, I won’t let you down.

Dragon Dragoon: I SAY OUT OF THE QUESTION! If I catch you playin’ stowaway, I’ll fleck up ya off into the middle of the ocean and leave you sunken deep to the bottom of the sea, ya hear?!

You belong with yer pony folk! I don’t care what magical item or spell book ye bring to the journey!

Spike: He is stronger than you know.

Misty: Hitch, he’s right. Sparky’s the one who filled up the Dragon Stone in the first place.

Rebel Mare: It will probably be only a temporary fix—I hope, hehehe!

Misty: He’s why Opaline’s Fire Alicorn magic is so powerful.

Rebel Mare: And now he will be the reason why she will never have that alicorn fire magic any longer!

[Sparky Sparkeroni gurgling]

Sunny Starscout: And if she got her magic through Sparky…

Spike: …maybe he’s the one who can take it all back.

Dragon Dragoon: Sure look! It may be a brock move—but seeing the state of our bad cess…it is a worthy sacrifice that must be done…

Ponies, please do something. I want to go with the dragons, please. I want to keep Sparky safe for you, PLEASE!!!!!!! (crying and sobbing)

Hitch Trailblazer: He is strong. But he’s still my… my little…

Rebel Mare: SHERIFF…..it’s okay……this is for the greater good….

Spike: Believe me, he always will be. But trust us.

Deputy Mare: …..I’m finally going to be free from this green hooligan––and yet––I feel very––hesitant right about now…..

Rebel Mare: ….it will be all right, Deputy……if you were in his claws…you do the same––like any dutiful officer of the law….protect and serve the community….right, Sheriff??

Deputy Mare: ……of course….
……..FINE! Just take the tiny runt before he changes his mind!

@Background Pony #CD21
I’m of that same opinion with Rebel, Deputy. No reason keeping him under your officer lapel pin any longer. He’ll totally be fine.

Deputy Mare: Well, I never thought I say this, but––it has been our honour serving with you…

Hitch Trailblazer: You got this, bud.

(Takes off his sheriff’s badge and gives the badge to Sparky)

[Sparky Sparkeroni excitedly burbles and coos]

Deputy Mare: We hereby commemorate this promotion to Sparky Sparkeroni, from officer recruit to fully pledged Deputy of Maretime Bay!

(Salutes to Sparky)

I wish we could celebrate this special occasion—but you’ll have to complete your first assignment before you can come back for your reward….

So don’t you DARE come crying back here without finishing the mission—or else I’ll have you impeached for going AWOL!

(Sparky hugs the Sheriff’s badge)

Inspector Mare: Awwwww, well AIN’T that purty (SNIFF!)

(Sparky snuggles with Hitch for one last time)

Deputy Mare: C’MON, SCRAM!! Get outta here!! Nopony’s payin’ you to act cute! Get back to work or else I’ll strap you to the dragon lord’s claw myself!

Inspector Mare: Even when you tear up seeing him go, you still gotta act tough in front of us, don’t you Deputy??

Deputy Mare: Nothing personal…just part of the profession, Inspector…

Deputy Mare: I know so…

(Deputy Mare holds back rogue pony)

Sunny Starscout: Spike, be careful.

Professor: You best take care now, Sparky! If you survive, we promise we’ll celebrate your victory over a plate of pizza!

Deputy Mare: Come back in one piece after you finish the job, or I’ll kill you!

Spike: Don’t worry about me, Princess Sunny. This isn’t my first rodeo.

(Dragons fly off into the sky)

Dragon Dragoon: Let’s punt some alicorn fire ash!!

Spike: Protect your ponies!

Dragon Dragoon: Don’t make me regret draggin’ our tails over ’ere, nag-offs! Slán go fóill!

Sunny Starscout: I’m not… I’m not a princess!

Spike: [laughs] If you say so!

Professor: Not with THAT kinda attitude!

Deputy Mare: HEY, that’s my line, Professor!

Hitch Trailblazer: [sighs] I’m gonna gather everypony by the tree!

Deputy Mare: Me and my cousin will set up a defensive perimeter! Everypony with a strong muscle needs to help bring out ALL the weaponry from the old factory dump!

Sunny Starscout: We’ll meet you back there as soon as we check on the crystals. And Hitch? Promise me you’ll be careful, too.

Professor: You can get lovey-dovey with your childhood friend later, Sunny! We gotta relic stash to protect!

Hitch Trailblazer: 💙Hoof to Heart💙

Deputy Mare: ALL RIGHT, Sheriff! Enough mushy stuff! This is no time for romance!

Secure the premises! Nopony gets in OR out of that magic tree—NO exceptions!!

Good luck, everypony!
