henchponies come this way.
175
00:08:54,668 --> 00:08:57,168
OK. I'm gonna head back inside.
176
00:08:57,237 --> 00:08:59,337
Just a little
too much crazy out here
177
00:08:59,406 --> 00:09:01,172
for the both of us.
178
00:09:01,241 --> 00:09:02,173
[gasp]
179
00:09:07,747 --> 00:09:10,314
I do not know what
Daring Do is playing at,
180
00:09:10,383 --> 00:09:12,883
but if she told you two
fanponies of my plan
181
00:09:12,952 --> 00:09:17,388
to steal the Amulet,
you must work for her.
182
00:09:17,457 --> 00:09:21,359
Caballeron! HA! What do you
have to say NOW, Quibble?
183
00:09:21,428 --> 00:09:25,029
This was your plan to prove the
Daring Do books are realistic?
184
00:09:25,098 --> 00:09:28,733
You bought a "Daring Do
Experience, Adventu-cation"?
185
00:09:28,802 --> 00:09:30,035
Really?
186
00:09:30,103 --> 00:09:35,039
What?! NO! Look around us!
Henchponies. Caballeron!
187
00:09:35,108 --> 00:09:38,876
The jungle it took forever to
get to! This is the real deal!
188
00:09:38,945 --> 00:09:42,847
Right. We're ACTUALLY being
held captive by Caballeron.
189
00:09:42,916 --> 00:09:46,117
Please. This guy's accent
is all over the place.
190
00:09:46,186 --> 00:09:47,251
No offense.
191
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,519
I....
192
00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:51,255
So, what's the setup,
here? You've kidnapped us
193
00:09:51,324 --> 00:09:54,725
and taken us to the middle
of nowhere because....?
194
00:09:54,794 --> 00:09:58,329
The Temple of Chicomoztoc is
somewhere in this jungle!
195
00:09:58,398 --> 00:10:02,900
When I find it, the Seven-Sided
Chest is as good as mine!
196
00:10:02,969 --> 00:10:06,370
I just need the Amulet of
Culhuacan to unlock it!
197
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:09,006
Uh-huh. And Daring
Do has the Amulet,
198
00:10:09,075 --> 00:10:11,809
so you came up with this
overcomplicated plot
199
00:10:11,878 --> 00:10:15,012
to lure her into the jungle
and exchange it for us?
200
00:10:15,081 --> 00:10:18,315
I wouldn't call it
overcomplicated, but yes.
201
00:10:18,384 --> 00:10:20,184
OK, we're done here. Great work.
202
00:10:20,253 --> 00:10:22,687
Seriously. Very believable.
203
00:10:25,058 --> 00:10:26,157
[slap and shout]
204
00:10:27,393 --> 00:10:30,761
Listen pal, you can keep
her money, but I'm not --
205
00:10:30,830 --> 00:10:32,797
Going anywhere.
206
00:10:32,866 --> 00:10:37,001
You may not approve of my plan,
but I'm the mastermind here.
207
00:10:37,070 --> 00:10:38,936
Debatable.
208
00:10:39,005 --> 00:10:42,206
AND I SAY you will remain
here until Daring Do
209
00:10:42,275 --> 00:10:45,976
comes to rescue you. And if she
wants you back in one piece,
210
00:10:46,045 --> 00:10:48,713
she will give me the
Amulet! Tie them up.
211
00:10:51,985 --> 00:10:53,250
The Griffon's Lock!
212
00:10:53,319 --> 00:10:54,585
You know of it!
213
00:10:54,654 --> 00:10:57,121
Further proof that you
are an agent of Daring Do.
214
00:10:57,190 --> 00:10:58,690
Or an avid reader.
215
00:10:59,993 --> 00:11:04,395
And now I will continue
my search for the Temple.
216
00:11:04,464 --> 00:11:10,735
Don't go anywhere. [evil laugh]
217
00:11:10,804 --> 00:11:13,170
Listen, if I pretend to
believe this nonsense is real,
218
00:11:13,239 --> 00:11:17,842
will you call off the henchpony
repertory theater over there?
219
00:11:17,911 --> 00:11:21,045
They're not going to listen
to me. They abducted us BOTH!
220
00:11:21,114 --> 00:11:23,781
Oh, wow. So you're going
to stick with that script?
221
00:11:23,850 --> 00:11:26,851
Oh, OK fine. We're in
a Daring Do adventure.
222
00:11:30,456 --> 00:11:32,223
What was that?
223
00:11:32,292 --> 00:11:36,527
DARING DO! THANK
GOODNESS! WE'RE OVER HERE!
224
00:11:36,596 --> 00:11:40,031
Fan out! We can't let
Daring Do rescue these two.
225
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:46,036
All four? I mean, shouldn't at
least one of them stay behind
226
00:11:46,105 --> 00:11:48,539
to guard us? Oh-oh
wait, no because then
227
00:11:48,608 --> 00:11:51,809
it wouldn't be a terrible
Daring Do adventure!
228
00:11:51,878 --> 00:11:53,311
It doesn't matter.
229
00:11:53,379 --> 00:11:55,714
We'll never solve the Griffon's
Lock before they get back.
230
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:00,918
OK, that was pretty good.
231
00:12:00,987 --> 00:12:03,420
Quick! We've got to get out
of here and warn Daring Do!
232
00:12:03,489 --> 00:12:05,890
No way. Just point
me to the hotel
233
00:12:05,959 --> 00:12:07,992
and you can play fanpony
234
00:12:08,061 --> 00:12:10,261
and hunt treasure
out here all day long.
235
00:12:10,330 --> 00:12:15,399
Fine. Let's say this IS a
Daring Do Adventu-cation.
236
00:12:15,468 --> 00:12:18,536
The only way to get back to the
convention is to go through it.
237
00:12:18,605 --> 00:12:21,872
So just follow me and
I'll lead you out. Deal?
238
00:12:21,941 --> 00:12:25,209
Ugh. Fine.
239
00:12:25,278 --> 00:12:29,580
Maybe if I just leave you in
the jungle, it'll convince you.
240
00:12:29,649 --> 00:12:32,917
Which would make Daring Do left-
hoofed, which we KNOW is false!
241
00:12:32,986 --> 00:12:35,553
And THAT is everything
that's wrong with Daring Do
242
00:12:35,622 --> 00:12:36,821
and the Trek to the
Terrifying Tower.
243
00:12:36,890 --> 00:12:39,424
Now the problems with
the next book are even --
244
00:12:42,195 --> 00:12:46,030
Oh, right. What Daring Do
adventure would be complete
245
00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:48,800
without the precarious
rope bridge?
246
00:12:52,605 --> 00:12:55,239
I'm all for making things
feel as real as possible
247
00:12:55,308 --> 00:12:59,210
but are these adventu-cation
ponies sure this thing is safe?
248
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:01,846
Is it too "realistic" for you?
249
00:13:01,915 --> 00:13:04,448
Wouldn't want THAT on a
Daring Do adventure, would we?
250
00:13:04,517 --> 00:13:06,851
If this were really a
Daring Do adventure,
251
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,520

00:17:42,929 --> 00:17:44,294
[sigh]
345
00:17:44,363 --> 00:17:45,729
Which lock do YOU think it is?
346
00:17:45,798 --> 00:17:50,200
FINALLY! Look. Each door has
another door that matches.
347
00:17:50,269 --> 00:17:53,604
THESE two both have earth
ponies fighting serpents.
348
00:17:53,673 --> 00:17:56,773
THESE two have Pegasi
fighting Griffons.
349
00:17:56,842 --> 00:18:02,513
THESE two have unicorns
fighting bears. But THIS one...
350
00:18:02,582 --> 00:18:04,882
Has an alicorn on it!
351
00:18:04,951 --> 00:18:08,919
It's the only one without a
match. How did I miss that?
352
00:18:08,988 --> 00:18:11,522
I've been asking myself
that ever since book four.
353
00:18:17,630 --> 00:18:20,498
The Seven-Sided
Chest of Chicomoztoc.
354
00:18:22,868 --> 00:18:24,435
Uh, guys?
355
00:18:27,907 --> 00:18:29,473
The way out is
totally covered!
356
00:18:29,542 --> 00:18:31,242
How are we gonna
get out of here?
357
00:18:32,278 --> 00:18:33,177
There!
358
00:18:34,847 --> 00:18:36,380
Seriously, do you
ever NOT escape
359
00:18:36,449 --> 00:18:37,849
out of the top of a temple?
360
00:18:39,319 --> 00:18:41,685
We'll have to carry mister
adventure critic out with us.
361
00:18:41,754 --> 00:18:43,887
We won't be fast enough!
We'll never make it!
362
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:45,323
Guys!
363
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:48,859
I think Rainbow Dash
and I have this covered.
364

365
00:18:55,635 --> 00:18:58,602
Go around! You
can't go over him!
366
00:18:58,671 --> 00:19:01,338
Go over him? Are you crazy?
367
00:19:01,407 --> 00:19:04,942
If Quibble says go
over him, go over him!
368
00:19:05,011 --> 00:19:06,577

369
00:19:11,017 --> 00:19:12,883
You two are insane!
370
00:19:12,952 --> 00:19:15,219
You SAID go over him!
371
00:19:15,288 --> 00:19:17,421
I SAID go around him!
372
00:19:17,490 --> 00:19:19,489
And I said be quiet!
373
00:19:19,558 --> 00:19:22,392
This way! I heard them!
374
00:19:22,461 --> 00:19:25,262
OK, I've got it. Let's
create a fake treasure
375
00:19:25,331 --> 00:19:28,298
out of mud and rocks, give THAT
to Caballeron and then when--
376
00:19:28,367 --> 00:19:31,469
Not EVERY Daring Do plan
has to be super complicated.
377
00:19:33,673 --> 00:19:35,973
I swear I heard them!
378
00:19:36,042 --> 00:19:38,008
[crash]
379
00:19:38,077 --> 00:19:39,543

[scream]
381
00:19:41,314 --> 00:19:43,548
I'll get you Daring Doooooooo!
382
00:19:47,453 --> 00:19:51,255
Uh. Not particularly original
or inspired, but it worked.
383
00:19:51,324 --> 00:19:52,556
Who are you again?
384
00:19:52,625 --> 00:19:54,058
He's a fan.
385
00:19:54,126 --> 00:19:57,261
Uh-huh. There's some stairs on
the other side of the temple
386
00:19:57,330 --> 00:19:58,929
that lead out of
the ravine.
387
00:19:58,998 --> 00:20:01,365
I suggest you two take
them and head west.
388
00:20:01,434 --> 00:20:02,767
What about you?
389
00:20:02,835 --> 00:20:06,303
I've got to get this to a
museum. Thanks for your help.
390
00:20:06,372 --> 00:20:08,906
I couldn't have done it
without you. Both of you.
391
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,879
So?
392
00:20:15,948 --> 00:20:19,650
So. Maybe the later books
ARE slightly more realistic
393
00:20:19,719 --> 00:20:22,352
than I gave them credit for.
I still don't like them.
394
00:20:22,421 --> 00:20:23,587
What? How can you--
395
00:20:23,656 --> 00:20:26,456
Wait! Hold on! Before
we get in another fight,
396
00:20:26,525 --> 00:20:28,825
I think I finally
figured it out!
397
00:20:28,894 --> 00:20:32,562
I love the Daring Do that solves
puzzles and uses her brain
398
00:20:32,631 --> 00:20:34,398
to get out of tough situations.
399
00:20:34,467 --> 00:20:36,733
And she did WAY more of that
in the original trilogy.
400
00:20:36,802 --> 00:20:39,870
YOU love the Daring Do
that is brave and awesome
401
00:20:39,939 --> 00:20:42,639
and comes out on top no
matter what the odds.
402
00:20:42,708 --> 00:20:44,474
OK.
403
00:20:44,543 --> 00:20:46,376
And that's OK!
404
00:20:46,445 --> 00:20:48,979
We might never agree on
what makes Daring Do cool.
405
00:20:49,048 --> 00:20:52,482
But YOU are definitely cool.
406
00:20:52,551 --> 00:20:56,486
I mean the way you saved
me on the bridge? Wow.
407
00:20:56,555 --> 00:21:02,492
And escaping from the temple!
You, Rainbow Dash, are AWESOME.
408
00:21:02,561 --> 00:21:05,996
Well. I'm not the one
who can locate a treasure
409
00:21:06,065 --> 00:21:08,899
in half the time Daring Do can.
410
00:21:08,968 --> 00:21:10,801
You may have terrible
taste in books,
411
00:21:10,870 --> 00:21:13,837
but you're pretty
awesome yourself.
412
00:21:13,906 --> 00:21:17,407
In a brainy egghead puzzle-
solving kind of way.
413
00:21:17,476 --> 00:21:20,110
I guess we don't have to agree
on everything to get along.
414
00:21:20,179 --> 00:21:21,411
Friends?
415
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:22,880
DEFINITELY friends.
416
00:21:25,484 --> 00:21:27,517
Do you think AK
Yearling would consider
417
00:21:27,586 --> 00:21:29,086
letting ME write the next book?
418
00:21:29,155 --> 00:21:30,487
I mean, think I could
419
00:21:30,556 --> 00:21:31,755
make things way clearer.
420
00:21:31,824 --> 00:21:33,757
I mean for instance, in
the second adventure
421
00:21:33,826 --> 00:21:34,992
there's a side
character;
422
00:21:35,061 --> 00:21:36,226
I don't want to kind
of name it right now,
423
00:21:36,295 --> 00:21:38,562
because it's sort of
this thing that I've
424
00:21:38,631 --> 00:21:39,596
already written a lot
of fan fiction on.
425
00:21:39,665 --> 00:21:40,797
I don't want you know...
426
00:21:40,866 --> 00:21:42,099
Not that I'm saying that
you would steal it;
427
00:21:42,167 --> 00:21:44,801
but I am saying that this
would totally go along,
428
00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:46,870
my whole thing about
puzzle solving.
429
00:21:46,939 --> 00:21:48,972
Except what if each
puzzle that was solved
430
00:21:49,041 --> 00:21:50,941
unlocked a new karate move?
431
00:21:51,010 --> 00:21:52,676
Think of it that way, right?
432
00:21:52,745 --> 00:21:54,511
I'm kind of a Yearlite myself,
433
00:21:54,580 --> 00:21:55,946
so I'm sure she'd be open to--
434
00:21:56,015 --> 00:21:57,848
Rainbow Dash: Uh, Quibble?
435
00:21:57,917 --> 00:21:58,783
Sorry!
