henchponies come this way.
175
00:08:54,667 --> 00:08:57,169
OK. I'm gonna head back inside.
176
00:08:57,236 --> 00:08:59,338
Just a little
too much crazy out here
177
00:08:59,405 --> 00:09:01,173
for the both of us.
178
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,174
[gasp]
179
00:09:07,746 --> 00:09:10,315
I do not know what
Daring Do is playing at,
180
00:09:10,382 --> 00:09:12,884
but if she told you two
fanponies of my plan
181
00:09:12,951 --> 00:09:17,389
to steal the Amulet,
you must work for her.
182
00:09:17,456 --> 00:09:21,360
Caballeron! HA! What do you
have to say NOW, Quibble?
183
00:09:21,427 --> 00:09:25,030
This was your plan to prove the
Daring Do books are realistic?
184
00:09:25,097 --> 00:09:28,734
You bought a "Daring Do
Experience, Adventu-cation"?
185
00:09:28,801 --> 00:09:30,036
Really?
186
00:09:30,102 --> 00:09:35,040
What?! NO! Look around us!
Henchponies. Caballeron!
187
00:09:35,107 --> 00:09:38,877
The jungle it took forever to
get to! This is the real deal!
188
00:09:38,944 --> 00:09:42,848
Right. We're ACTUALLY being
held captive by Caballeron.
189
00:09:42,915 --> 00:09:46,118
Please. This guy's accent
is all over the place.
190
00:09:46,185 --> 00:09:47,252
No offense.
191
00:09:47,319 --> 00:09:48,520
I....
192
00:09:48,587 --> 00:09:51,256
So, what's the setup,
here? You've kidnapped us
193
00:09:51,323 --> 00:09:54,726
and taken us to the middle
of nowhere because....?
194
00:09:54,793 --> 00:09:58,330
The Temple of Chicomoztoc is
somewhere in this jungle!
195
00:09:58,397 --> 00:10:02,901
When I find it, the Seven-Sided
Chest is as good as mine!
196
00:10:02,968 --> 00:10:06,371
I just need the Amulet of
Culhuacan to unlock it!
197
00:10:06,438 --> 00:10:09,007
Uh-huh. And Daring
Do has the Amulet,
198
00:10:09,074 --> 00:10:11,810
so you came up with this
overcomplicated plot
199
00:10:11,877 --> 00:10:15,013
to lure her into the jungle
and exchange it for us?
200
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,316
I wouldn't call it
overcomplicated, but yes.
201
00:10:18,383 --> 00:10:20,185
OK, we're done here. Great work.
202
00:10:20,252 --> 00:10:22,688
Seriously. Very believable.
203
00:10:25,057 --> 00:10:26,158
[slap and shout]
204
00:10:27,392 --> 00:10:30,762
Listen pal, you can keep
her money, but I'm not --
205
00:10:30,829 --> 00:10:32,798
Going anywhere.
206
00:10:32,865 --> 00:10:37,002
You may not approve of my plan,
but I'm the mastermind here.
207
00:10:37,069 --> 00:10:38,937
Debatable.
208
00:10:39,004 --> 00:10:42,207
AND I SAY you will remain
here until Daring Do
209
00:10:42,274 --> 00:10:45,977
comes to rescue you. And if she
wants you back in one piece,
210
00:10:46,044 --> 00:10:48,714
she will give me the
Amulet! Tie them up.
211
00:10:51,984 --> 00:10:53,251
The Griffon's Lock!
212
00:10:53,318 --> 00:10:54,586
You know of it!
213
00:10:54,653 --> 00:10:57,122
Further proof that you
are an agent of Daring Do.
214
00:10:57,189 --> 00:10:58,691
Or an avid reader.
215
00:10:59,992 --> 00:11:04,396
And now I will continue
my search for the Temple.
216
00:11:04,463 --> 00:11:10,736
Don't go anywhere. [evil laugh]
217
00:11:10,803 --> 00:11:13,171
Listen, if I pretend to
believe this nonsense is real,
218
00:11:13,238 --> 00:11:17,843
will you call off the henchpony
repertory theater over there?
219
00:11:17,910 --> 00:11:21,046
They're not going to listen
to me. They abducted us BOTH!
220
00:11:21,113 --> 00:11:23,782
Oh, wow. So you're going
to stick with that script?
221
00:11:23,849 --> 00:11:26,852
Oh, OK fine. We're in
a Daring Do adventure.
222
00:11:30,455 --> 00:11:32,224
What was that?
223
00:11:32,291 --> 00:11:36,528
DARING DO! THANK
GOODNESS! WE'RE OVER HERE!
224
00:11:36,595 --> 00:11:40,032
Fan out! We can't let
Daring Do rescue these two.
225
00:11:42,201 --> 00:11:46,037
All four? I mean, shouldn't at
least one of them stay behind
226
00:11:46,104 --> 00:11:48,540
to guard us? Oh-oh
wait, no because then
227
00:11:48,607 --> 00:11:51,810
it wouldn't be a terrible
Daring Do adventure!
228
00:11:51,877 --> 00:11:53,312
It doesn't matter.
229
00:11:53,378 --> 00:11:55,715
We'll never solve the Griffon's
Lock before they get back.
230
00:11:58,383 --> 00:12:00,919
OK, that was pretty good.
231
00:12:00,986 --> 00:12:03,421
Quick! We've got to get out
of here and warn Daring Do!
232
00:12:03,488 --> 00:12:05,891
No way. Just point
me to the hotel
233
00:12:05,958 --> 00:12:07,993
and you can play fanpony
234
00:12:08,060 --> 00:12:10,262
and hunt treasure
out here all day long.
235
00:12:10,329 --> 00:12:15,400
Fine. Let's say this IS a
Daring Do Adventu-cation.
236
00:12:15,467 --> 00:12:18,537
The only way to get back to the
convention is to go through it.
237
00:12:18,604 --> 00:12:21,873
So just follow me and
I'll lead you out. Deal?
238
00:12:21,940 --> 00:12:25,210
Ugh. Fine.
239
00:12:25,277 --> 00:12:29,581
Maybe if I just leave you in
the jungle, it'll convince you.
240
00:12:29,648 --> 00:12:32,918
Which would make Daring Do left-
hoofed, which we KNOW is false!
241
00:12:32,985 --> 00:12:35,554
And THAT is everything
that's wrong with Daring Do
242
00:12:35,621 --> 00:12:36,822
and the Trek to the
Terrifying Tower.
243
00:12:36,889 --> 00:12:39,425
Now the problems with
the next book are even --
244
00:12:42,194 --> 00:12:46,031
Oh, right. What Daring Do
adventure would be complete
245
00:12:46,098 --> 00:12:48,801
without the precarious
rope bridge?
246
00:12:52,604 --> 00:12:55,240
I'm all for making things
feel as real as possible
247
00:12:55,307 --> 00:12:59,211
but are these adventu-cation
ponies sure this thing is safe?
248
00:12:59,278 --> 00:13:01,847
Is it too "realistic" for you?
249
00:13:01,914 --> 00:13:04,449
Wouldn't want THAT on a
Daring Do adventure, would we?
250
00:13:04,516 --> 00:13:06,852
If this were really a
Daring Do adventure,
251
00:13:06,919 --> 00:13:09,521

00:17:42,928 --> 00:17:44,295
[sigh]
345
00:17:44,362 --> 00:17:45,730
Which lock do YOU think it is?
346
00:17:45,797 --> 00:17:50,201
FINALLY! Look. Each door has
another door that matches.
347
00:17:50,268 --> 00:17:53,605
THESE two both have earth
ponies fighting serpents.
348
00:17:53,672 --> 00:17:56,774
THESE two have Pegasi
fighting Griffons.
349
00:17:56,841 --> 00:18:02,514
THESE two have unicorns
fighting bears. But THIS one...
350
00:18:02,581 --> 00:18:04,883
Has an alicorn on it!
351
00:18:04,950 --> 00:18:08,920
It's the only one without a
match. How did I miss that?
352
00:18:08,987 --> 00:18:11,523
I've been asking myself
that ever since book four.
353
00:18:17,629 --> 00:18:20,499
The Seven-Sided
Chest of Chicomoztoc.
354
00:18:22,867 --> 00:18:24,436
Uh, guys?
355
00:18:27,906 --> 00:18:29,474
The way out is
totally covered!
356
00:18:29,541 --> 00:18:31,243
How are we gonna
get out of here?
357
00:18:32,277 --> 00:18:33,178
There!
358
00:18:34,846 --> 00:18:36,381
Seriously, do you
ever NOT escape
359
00:18:36,448 --> 00:18:37,850
out of the top of a temple?
360
00:18:39,318 --> 00:18:41,686
We'll have to carry mister
adventure critic out with us.
361
00:18:41,753 --> 00:18:43,888
We won't be fast enough!
We'll never make it!
362
00:18:43,955 --> 00:18:45,324
Guys!
363
00:18:46,958 --> 00:18:48,860
I think Rainbow Dash
and I have this covered.
364
00:18:48,927 --> 00:18:55,567

365
00:18:55,634 --> 00:18:58,603
Go around! You
can't go over him!
366
00:18:58,670 --> 00:19:01,339
Go over him? Are you crazy?
367
00:19:01,406 --> 00:19:04,943
If Quibble says go
over him, go over him!
368
00:19:05,010 --> 00:19:06,578
[scream]
369
00:19:11,016 --> 00:19:12,884
You two are insane!
370
00:19:12,951 --> 00:19:15,220
You SAID go over him!
371
00:19:15,287 --> 00:19:17,422
I SAID go around him!
372
00:19:17,489 --> 00:19:19,490
And I said be quiet!
373
00:19:19,557 --> 00:19:22,393
This way! I heard them!
374
00:19:22,460 --> 00:19:25,263
OK, I've got it. Let's
create a fake treasure
375
00:19:25,330 --> 00:19:28,299
out of mud and rocks, give THAT
to Caballeron and then when--
376
00:19:28,366 --> 00:19:31,470
Not EVERY Daring Do plan
has to be super complicated.
377
00:19:33,672 --> 00:19:35,974
I swear I heard them!
378
00:19:36,041 --> 00:19:38,009
[crash]
379
00:19:38,076 --> 00:19:39,544

[scream]
381
00:19:41,313 --> 00:19:43,549
I'll get you Daring Doooooooo!
382
00:19:47,452 --> 00:19:51,256
Uh. Not particularly original
or inspired, but it worked.
383
00:19:51,323 --> 00:19:52,557
Who are you again?
384
00:19:52,624 --> 00:19:54,059
He's a fan.
385
00:19:54,125 --> 00:19:57,262
Uh-huh. There's some stairs on
the other side of the temple
386
00:19:57,329 --> 00:19:58,930
that lead out of
the ravine.
387
00:19:58,997 --> 00:20:01,366
I suggest you two take
them and head west.
388
00:20:01,433 --> 00:20:02,768
What about you?
389
00:20:02,834 --> 00:20:06,304
I've got to get this to a
museum. Thanks for your help.
390
00:20:06,371 --> 00:20:08,907
I couldn't have done it
without you. Both of you.
391
00:20:14,079 --> 00:20:15,880
So?
392
00:20:15,947 --> 00:20:19,651
So. Maybe the later books
ARE slightly more realistic
393
00:20:19,718 --> 00:20:22,353
than I gave them credit for.
I still don't like them.
394
00:20:22,420 --> 00:20:23,588
What? How can you--
395
00:20:23,655 --> 00:20:26,457
Wait! Hold on! Before
we get in another fight,
396
00:20:26,524 --> 00:20:28,826
I think I finally
figured it out!
397
00:20:28,893 --> 00:20:32,563
I love the Daring Do that solves
puzzles and uses her brain
398
00:20:32,630 --> 00:20:34,399
to get out of tough situations.
399
00:20:34,466 --> 00:20:36,734
And she did WAY more of that
in the original trilogy.
400
00:20:36,801 --> 00:20:39,871
YOU love the Daring Do
that is brave and awesome
401
00:20:39,938 --> 00:20:42,640
and comes out on top no
matter what the odds.
402
00:20:42,707 --> 00:20:44,475
OK.
403
00:20:44,542 --> 00:20:46,377
And that's OK!
404
00:20:46,444 --> 00:20:48,980
We might never agree on
what makes Daring Do cool.
405
00:20:49,047 --> 00:20:52,483
But YOU are definitely cool.
406
00:20:52,550 --> 00:20:56,487
I mean the way you saved
me on the bridge? Wow.
407
00:20:56,554 --> 00:21:02,493
And escaping from the temple!
You, Rainbow Dash, are AWESOME.
408
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,997
Well. I'm not the one
who can locate a treasure
409
00:21:06,064 --> 00:21:08,900
in half the time Daring Do can.
410
00:21:08,967 --> 00:21:10,802
You may have terrible
taste in books,
411
00:21:10,869 --> 00:21:13,838
but you're pretty
awesome yourself.
412
00:21:13,905 --> 00:21:17,408
In a brainy egghead puzzle-
solving kind of way.
413
00:21:17,475 --> 00:21:20,111
I guess we don't have to agree
on everything to get along.
414
00:21:20,178 --> 00:21:21,412
Friends?
415
00:21:21,479 --> 00:21:22,881
DEFINITELY friends.
416
00:21:25,483 --> 00:21:27,518
Do you think AK
Yearling would consider
417
00:21:27,585 --> 00:21:29,087
letting ME write the next book?
418
00:21:29,154 --> 00:21:30,488
I mean, think I could
419
00:21:30,555 --> 00:21:31,756
make things way clearer.
420
00:21:31,823 --> 00:21:33,758
I mean for instance, in
the second adventure
421
00:21:33,825 --> 00:21:34,993
there's a side
character;
422
00:21:35,060 --> 00:21:36,227
I don't want to kind
of name it right now,
423
00:21:36,294 --> 00:21:38,563
because it's sort of
this thing that I've
424
00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:39,597
already written a lot
of fan fiction on.
425
00:21:39,664 --> 00:21:40,798
I don't want you know...
426
00:21:40,865 --> 00:21:42,100
Not that I'm saying that
you would steal it;
427
00:21:42,166 --> 00:21:44,802
but I am saying that this
would totally go along,
428
00:21:44,869 --> 00:21:46,871
my whole thing about
puzzle solving.
429
00:21:46,938 --> 00:21:48,973
Except what if each
puzzle that was solved
430
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,942
unlocked a new karate move?
431
00:21:51,009 --> 00:21:52,677
Think of it that way, right?
432
00:21:52,744 --> 00:21:54,512
I'm kind of a Yearlite myself,
433
00:21:54,579 --> 00:21:55,947
so I'm sure she'd be open to--
434
00:21:56,014 --> 00:21:57,849
Rainbow Dash: Uh, Quibble?
435
00:21:57,916 --> 00:21:58,784
Sorry!
