The Camera opens up to the Kobayashi's apartment in the morning. Smaug is sitting at the Kotatsu with Ilulu sitting next to him. Kobayashi and Kanna are sitting on the couch watching TV and Tohru and Elma are sitting at the dinner table drinking tea.

TV:"Tomorrow's weather will be sunny with a slight chance of rain."

Smaug's stomach growls.

Smaug:"I'm hungry."

Kobayashi:"Then get up and get some food."

Smaug:"But I'm to comfortable."

Smaug flops onto his back and stares at Tohru. After a few seconds Tohru notices Smaug staring at her.

Tohru:"What?"

Smaug:"Dear sister, can you get me some food."

Tohru glares at Smaug.

Tohru:"Not after you ate all the food and nearly burned down the house the other day. Get it yourself!" *She takes a drink of her tea.*

Smaug looks to Ilulu and she's sleeping.

Smaug:"Darn."

Smaug looks to Elma.

Smaug:"Elma!"

Elma:*She looks to him annoyed.* "What?"

Smaug:"Can you get me some food?"

Elma huffs and looks away.

Elma:"You didn't get me any food back at the hot spring resort a while ago."

Smaug groans and he closes his eyes and concentrates.

Kobayashi:"What are you doing?"

Smaug:"I saw this in a movie where these people in pajamas with glow sticks as weapons, use their minds to move stuff."

Kanna:"Why don't you use your magic Lord Smaug."

Smaug then lets a breath out and opens his eyes.

Smaug:"I'm to lazy, too."

Kobayashi sweat drops. Smaug then whines for a few seconds and he rolls onto his stomach.  Then he crawls out from the kotatsu.

Smaug:"Fine, I'll do it myself."

Smaug gets up and stretches then he takes a step forward and a portale appears on the ground in front of him and he falls face first into it and he disappears and so does the portal.

Everyone stares at the spot Smaug where he just fell into the portal.

Elma:"Did that actually just happen? Someone pinch me."

Tohru then slaps Elma.

Elma:"I said pinch me!"

Tohru:"Oh, I thought you said 'slap me.'"

The camera moves to Smaug and he sits up and rubs his face. He's in the middle of a grassy plain.

Smaug:"Where am I?"*His tail makes a question mark.*

????:"Huzzah!"

As soon as Smaug hears to voice he face turns to an annoyed one.

Smaug:"Oh, no."

The camera moves back to the others. They're all standing over the spot where the Portal was. Ilulu is now awake and is staind with the group.

Kobayashi:"What happened to Smaug."

Elma:"I think he went through a portal."

Ilulu:"And that portal could lead anywhere."

Tohru:*Sighs.* "Smaug is always getting into trouble."

Kobayashi:"Half the time it's your fault he gets into trouble."

Tohru crosses her arms and looks away.

Tohru:"That is not true."

Kanna:"You're a troublemaker, Lady Tohru."

A arrow, Metaphorically, pierces Tohru's heart and she anime cries.

Kobayashi:"What do we do now?"

Elma:"We need to find out where he went, and there's one person who can track him down."

Kobayashi:"Who?"

Later.

Lucoa:"Smaug disappear into a portal?"

The gang is now at Lucoa's house.

Tohru:"Yeah, can you track him down?"

Kobayashi drinks some tea.

Lucoa:"Of course. I put a tracker on his mana, so I'll be able to find him if he were to disappear again."

Kobayashi:"That's kind of creepy."

Kanna eats an apple.

Ilulu:"And weird."

Lucoa:"He still owes me money."

Lucoa gives a creepy smile.

Tohru:"Of course."

Ilulu:"Can we hurry up and find him now?"

Lucoa then casts a spell and after a few seconds a she grows a troubled look.

Kobayashi:"I don't like that look."

Elma:"What's wrong, Lucoa?"

Lucoa thinks for a few seconds.

Lucoa:"I can't find Smaug's Mana."

Everyone:"Huh?"

Ilulu:"What do you mean you 'can't find' his mana?"

Ilulu is starting to get really worried.

Lucoa:"I just can't seem to locate his Mana. Anywhere. It's like it disappeared or blocked."

Tohru:"Just what did Smaug get himself into?"

The camera moves back to Smaug and he looks really annoyed.

????:"I did it!"

Smaug turns around and sees someone that looks to be about 12 or 13. He's 4'5''. He has blue dragon eyes and short golden hair. He has two gold horns on the side of his head and a long golden tail. He has his arms up in the air with an excited look on his face.

Smaug:"Dave."

Dave:"I did it. I made a portal!"

Smaug sighs.

Dave:"Now, Fight me Smaug! As your rival, I challenge you!"

Smaug face palms.

Smaug:"Why did you bring me here."

Dave:"To fight you! I'm your rival, I'm supposed to fight you!"

Smaug groans then he realises something.

Smaug:"Wait? How did you know the portal spell. Only strong dragons know that spell."

Dave gets excited.

Dave:"Someone gave me a scroll with instructions on how to do the spell."

Smaug:"Of course."

Smaug stands up.

Smaug:*Raises his hand.*"Well, I'm out of- Huh?"

Dave:"What's wrong."

Smaug pushes his hand out. Then he growls and pushes his hand out again.

Smaug:"What the hell?!"

He angrily turns to Dave.

Smaug:"Why can't I cast magic?"

Dave shrugs his shoulders.

Dave:"I don't know?"

Smaug takes a few deep breaths.

Smaug:"Do you at least have the scroll you used?"

Dave shakes his head.

Dave:"Nope, it burned up when I used it. Why?"

Smaug:"I'm pretty sure that the spell you casted also had a curse with it."

Dave:"Ohhhhh."

Smaug looks around.

Smaug:"Where are we?"

Dave:"I don't know."

Smaug:"What do you mean you don't know?"

Dave:"I have no idea where we are."

Smaug gives Dave a 'WTF dude' face.

Smaug:"How do you not know where we are?!"

Dave:"When the strange person gave me the scroll I just took of flying in a random direction and after awhile I arrived here."

Smaug:"You have to be the stupidest dragon alive!" *He takes a deep breath.* "Are we at least in the human realm?"

Dave shakes his head.

Dave:"No, you're back home! Yaaay!"

Smaug then just yells in anger.

Smaug:'I'm going to kill him!'

The camera moves back to the group and everyone is back at Kobayashi's apartment standing where the portal opened.

Lucoa:"So it opened here?"

Elma:"Yup."

Lucoa opens her eyes a little and looks at the ground.

Lucoa:"I don't recognize this magic."

Ilulu:"This just keeps getting worse and worse."

Lucoa:"Well, whoever did this used a lot of mana to do it."

The camera moves back to Smaug and Dave.

Smaug:"Can you open another portal back?"

Dave laughs and rubs the back of his head.

Dave:"That's a funny thing..."

Smaug just stares at Dave.

Smaug:"You used up all your Mana, didn't you?"

Dave nods his head.

Smaug:"And you can't change into your dragon from because you have no mana?"

Dave nods again.

Smaug:"And you're mana regeneration is slow so your stuck like that for a while."

Dave nods again.

Smaug:"Why are you in your human form in the first place?"

Dave:"The scroll said 'to make sure you use your human form' to do the spell."

Smaug throws his arms up.

Smaug:"And you didn't think that was suspicious?!"

Dave:"Nope."

Smaug:"Oh, my me!"

Dave throws his arms into the air.

Dave:"Now fight me!"

Smaug walks up to Dave and Dave gets excited. Smaug punches Dave and Dave goes flying a couple hundred meters.

Smaug:"There!"

Smaug starts to walk in a random direction.

Dave:*In the distance.* "Wait for me!"

Smaug:"Fuck off!"

The camera move back to the others and it's evening now.

Kanna is looking outside then she turns to Ilulu, who is sitting next ti her.

Kanna:"Do you think Lord Smaug is okay?"

Ilulu looks to Kanna.

Ilulu:"I hope so, I mean he is really strong."

Elma is sitting at the dinner table, with her head on the table and she crying.

Elma:"I'm hungry."

Kobayashi is sitting across from her drinking some coffee.

Kobayashi:"Didn't you eat an hour ago."

Elma:"That was just some ice cream.' *She cries some more.* "I want more food."

Tohru is in the kitchen cooking.

Tohru:"If you stop whining maybe you'll get some."

The camera then move back to Smaug and Dave. It's late evening.

Smaug and Dave are walking through a forest and Dave is following Smaug. He is telling a story and Smaug has a bored look on his face.

Dave:"And that when I told her, 'You can't just burn down the port because they stole your fish.' And she said-"

Smaug stops walking and turns to Dave.

Smaug:"Dave."

Dave stops and looks to Smaug.

Dave:"Yes, Smaug?"

Smaug:"Shut up."

Smaug keeps walking through the forest and Dave follows him. Dave is silent. And after a few seconds Dave start to make popping sounds while looking around the forest. The he starts to hum.

Smaug's eye starts to twitch. Smaug's tail starts to twitch.

Dave then starts to clear his throat multiple times.

Smaug starts to grow an angry look.

Dave start to whistle and pat his pants.

Smaug starts to shake with anger.

Dave:"Hey is that-"

Smaug:"Can you please keep quiet! For five minutes!"

Dave:"But-"

Smaug:"What?! What is it?!"

Dave points past Smaug and Smaug turns to see a city in the distance. Smaug's tail makes an exclamation point.

Smaug:"Yes! A city! Now we can find out where we are."

Smaug runs down to the city and follows him.

The camera moves back to the others. It's night time and everyone is asleep except Lucoa and Kobayashi. Their both at the table talking.

Kobayashi:"Any progress?"

Lucoa:"Yes, I did find out where the spell was casted."

Kobayashi smiles.

Kobayashi:"That's good."

Lucoa:"There is on problem."

Kobayashi raises an eyebrow.

Kobayashi:"What is it?"

Lucoa:"Well, the spell was casted in our home realm."

Kobayashi:"So you're saying that Smaug is back in your home realm?"

Lucoa nods.

Kobayashi:"That's a problem."

Lucoa:"Well it could be, it all depends on where he is."

Kobayashi:"What do you mean?"

Louca:"Well, Smaug is a pretty strong dragon and a well known dragon in the chaos faction."

Kobayashi:"So if he were to be in any territory other than the chaos faction-"

Lucoa:"Smaug could get in real trouble."

The camera moves back to Smaug and Dave. It's night time. They are walking through the city. The people that are awake are giving the two suspicious looks.

Dave:"Where are we going?"

Smaug shushes him.

Smaug:"Keep it down. We're looking for an information bored. Maybe it'll tell us where we are."

Smaug and Dave keep walking and then Smaug spots a guild hall with a board out in the front.

Smaug:"There."

Smaug walks over to the board and Dave follows. Smaug looks over the board and spots a map. His eye widens.

Smaug:"This isn't good."

Dave:"What?"

Smaug:"We're in the Harmony faction territory. The worst part is where near the heart of it."

Dave then points to a paper on the board.

Dave:"Hey, its you."

Smaug looks to see a drawing of Smaug's dragon form and one of his human form. A bounty is put on him.

Smaug:"Oh, no."

Smaug looks around and sees a few people looking at him, most are adventurers.

Smaug:"We need to go."

Smaug grabs Dave's arm and they head away and find and alleyway and they head down it.

Smaug:"We're in deep shit."

Dave:"Yeah, if my parents find out I was in Harmony territory. I'll get grounded again."

Smaug then turns to Dave with a look of anger.

Smaug:"We're in this because of you." *Smaug rubs his face.* "We need disguises."

Smaug looks around and he finds two tattered cloak in a trash bin. Smaug walks over to them and he grabs one and throws it at Dave. The cloak hits Dave in the face.

Dave:"Ow."

Dave takes the cloak off his face and sees Smaug with his on and the hood up covering his face.

Smaug:"Hurry, put it on."

Dave puts the cloak on and puts the hood up.

Smaug's stomach growls.

Smaug:"I'm still hungry."

Dave:"I didn't bring any money."

Smaug:"Of course." *Smaug then pulls a small bag of gold out of his pocket.* "I always carry some emergency gold on me."

Smaug looks out of the alley way and looks around. He spots no one. Then he looks back to Dave.

Smaug:"Follow me, we need to find and inn to get some food and stay the night."

Dave nods. Smaug walks out of the alleyway with Dave following him. Smaug and Dave walk around the city for a few minutes and Smaug finally finds an inn.

Smaug:"Finally. We'll spend the night and head out in the morning."

Dave:"Right."

Smaug enters the Inn and they head to the front desk. There are the desk is a girl but she has some cat ears and a cat tail swaying behind her. She sees Smaug and Dave and she smiles at them.

Cat girl:"Welcome to the Skinny Badger, how may I help you?"

Smaug:"Can we get a room for the night and supper."

The cat girl nods.

Cat Girl:"That'll be 8 silver."

Smaug hands her a gold coin.

Smaug:"Keep the change."

Smaug and Dave head towards one of the tables.

Cat Girl:"Thank you!"

Smaug and Dave sit down and a server comes over.

Server:"What can I get you two today?"

Smaug:"Two specials and Two ales'"

Server:"Coming right up."

The serve walks away.

Dave:"So what do we do tomorrow?"

Smaug sighs.

Smaug:"Well, I need to find a way to get rid of this curse, but the only person I know that can do it is in another realm." *The he thinks of something.* "Well, there is a big city nearby and I know somebody there that might be able to get rid of the curse."

Dave:"I feel like there's a but."

Smaug:"There is, they might not be too happy to see me."

Dave:"Why?"

Smaug:"That's not important."

Dave:"But-"

Smaug puts his hand up.

Smaug:"Shut."

After a little while their foods comes and they eat it. Then once their done eating they head upstairs and enter their room. They both head to a bed and lay down.

Dave:"Today was a fun day."

Smaug:"Well tomorrow we may or may not die."

Dave gulps.

Dave:"Well, we won't right? Smaug?"

Smaug is heard snoring.

Dave:"Smaug?"

Later.

The sun shines down on Smaug's face and he wakes up. Smaug sits up and rubs his eyes. He hears some commotion outside and he gets up and looks out the window. He sees a bunch of adventures outside with their weapons ready.

Smaug:"Well, shit."

Smaug walks over to Dave, who is sleeping peacefully, and pushes him off the bed. Dave falls to the floor with a thud.

Dave:"Ouchy." *Dave looks over the bed and sees Smaug.* "Smaug?"

Smaug:"Get up, we need to go. They found out I was here."

Dave gets up quickly.

Dave:*Scared.* "We're gonna die!"

Smaug slaps Dave.

Smaug:"Quite and follow me."

Dave nods.

Smaug goes over to the door and peeks his head out. There is no one in the hall. Smaug spots a window all the way down the hall. Smaug carefully walks out of the room and motions for dave to follow him. They make their way down the hall and get to the window.

Smaug looks out the window to see an alleyway. Smaug opens the window and climbs out and jumps into the alleyway and looks around and spots no one.

Smaug:*Whispers.* "It's clear."

Dave then climbs out the window and he trips and falls face first onto the ground.

Dave:"Ouch."

Smaug face palms.

Smaug then hears some of the adventures.

Adventure:"Be careful mean Smaug the Terrible is currently sleeping in this tavern."

Smaug rolls his eyes.

Smaug:"It's Smaug the magnificent."

Dave gets off the ground and wipes some blood from his nose. Smaug walks to the edge of the alleway and peeks around the corner and sees only a few adventures, with their backs turned towards Smaug. Smaug turns towards Dave and motions for him to follow. Smaug runs out of the alleyway with Dave following. No one notices them.

After a while Smaug and Dave are a little ways from the city.

Dave:"Nowhere to?"

Smaug:"The city I mention yesterday is only a few hours away."

Dave:"Yaaay! Story ti-"

Smaug slaps Dave with his tail and heads in a direction.

The camera then changes to the others and the just come through a portal in the grassy plain where Smaug and Dave where.

Ilulu:"Wow, it's pretty open here."

Kobayashi:"So this is the dragon realm."

Lucoa:"Yup!"

Tohru:"Now where is this irresponsible brother of mine?"

Lucoa:"Well then mana ends here-"

Everyone groans.

Elma:"Wait, I think I know where we are."

Kobayashi:"Where are we."

Elma:"Where near a city near the heart of Harmony territory."

Ilulu:"Well, that's bad for Smaug."

Kobayashi:"Why?"

Elma:"Smuag's pretty infamous in the Harmony territory. He's one of the top dragons in the Chaos Faction and he loved to burn down kingdoms and eat people."

Tohru:"He's boned."

The camera moves back to Smaug and Dave and it's now midday and they arrive at the big city. They both sneak their way into the big city. There is a big tower near the center of the city.

Dave:"Wow! That's a big tower."

Smaug:"Yeah and that's where we're going."

Dave's eyes sparkle.

Dave:"Really?!"

Smaug covers Dave's mouth.

Smaug:"Yes, now keep it down. If we're spotted here we are sure to die."

Dave nods.

Smaug heads towards the tower and Dave follows.

They pass a blacksmith shop that has a dwarf with black hair and blue eyes, harming a sword. 

After a little bit they arrive at the tower and their is a sign out front and it reads

Home to the Magus of Flowers.

Dave:"Magus of Flowers?"

Smaug:"Yes, that's who were here for. They're part of the Harmony faction. Now keep quiet and let me do the talking."

Dave nods and they enter the tower. As they enter a guard stops them. A few other guards are behind the one guard.

Guard:"Halt! State your business!"

Smaug:"Tell that wizard that 'The Flames of War' wants to speak."

The maind guard looks to one of the others and nods. The one guard walks away and goes through a door.

Dave:*Whispers.* "'The Flames of War'?"

Smaug:"One of the names the Harmony faction gave me."

After a few minutes the guard comes back and whispers into the ear of the main guard. The main guard nods and looks to Smaug.

Guard:"You may enter, but know that we are watching you."

Smaug nods and walks through a door with Dave following him. After some walking they comes to a spiraling stairs that leads up.

Dave:"Wow, that's some tall stairs. And where are we going."

Smaug:"All the way to the top."

Dave's eyes widen and he looks to Smaug in shock.

Dave:"All the way to the top. But this tower is massive."

Smaug:"Maybe if someone didn't curse me and didn't have horrible mana regeneration! We wouldn't have to walk up so many stairs."

Smaug starts to walk up the stairs.

Dave:"You're talking about me right?" *Dave follows after Smaug.*

Smaug is heard groaning.

The camera switches back to the others.

Ilulu and Tohru have cloaks on and hoods up. The dragons are wearing their original clothes. They are all following Elma and they enter the city.

Kobayashi:"Wow, so medieval."

Kobayashi is also wearing a cloak as to not stand out.

Elma:"Well, welcome to the city of Osnaburg."

Tohru looks around and sees a bunch of adventures.

Tohru:"So many... adventures."

Ilulu:"They seem to be on alert."

Lucoa:"I have a bad feeling."

Elma walks over to one of the adventures.

Elma:"Excuse me?"

The adventure looks to Elma and his eyes widen.

Adventure:*Bows.* "Lady Elma! How may I be of service."

Elma starts to get embarrassed.

Elma:"Can you tell me why everyone seems to be on alert?"

The Adventure looks up.

Adventure:"Smaug has been spotted in the city and we're looking for him now."

Elma nods and waves him off and She walks back to the others.

Kobayashi:"So?"

Elma:"Well they knew Smaug's in Harmony territory."

Ilulu:"Oh, no."

Elma:"But he doesn't seem to be here."

Tohru:"Well, what do we do know?"

Lucoa:"Smaug has an old friend that lives in a nearby city. Maybe he went there?"

Ilulu:"Well, it's better than nothing. So let's head there."

The camera moves back to Smaug and Dave and they have reached the top floor. Dave has his hand on the wall and the other on his knee, he's breathing heavily.

Dave:*Panting.* "So....many....stairs."

Smaug walks over to Dave and grabs the back of his cloak and starts to drag him.

Smaug:"Come on we don't have all day."

The two come to a big door and Smaug looks at it for a few seconds and he takes a deep breath.

Smaug:"You can do this."

Dave:"What are you doing?"

Smaug:"Shut it."

Smaug opens the door and he and Dave walk in. Smaug looks around the big room and spots the person he was looking for.

Smaug:"Merlin."

Merlin looks to Smaug with a neutral look.

Merlin:"Smaug."

Dave:"Oh, she's pretty."

Smaug:"It's her succubus part doing that."

Merlin starts to walk over to Smaug.

Merlin:"Now, now Smaug. No need to be so presumptuous."

Smaug groans.

Smaug:"I don't like it when you use big words."

Merlin reaches Smaug, she's an inch taller than him.

Merlin:"Now, why are you here?"

Smaug:"I need to help."

Merlin laughs.

Merlin:"Me? Help you after what you did?"

Dave raises an eyebrow.

Dave:"What did Smaug do?"

Merlin looks to Dave.

Merlin:"Now, who's your cute friend here?"

Smaug huffs.

Smaug:"He's not even close to being my friend."

Merlin:"fine then. What Smaug did was when we went out for dinner one night, he got so drunk that he burned down half the city and destroyed part of my tower. The worst part was that he left with the bill at the restaurant!"

Smaug:"I said I was sorry."

Merlin:"The bill was 250 gold!"

Smaug then sweet drops.

Smaug:"You're the one who suggested the fancy restaurant."

Merlin then pouts.

Smaug:"Can you help me, Please?"

Merlin holds out a single finger to Smaug.

Merlin:"On one condition."

Smaug rolls his eyes.

Smaug:"Fine, what?"

Merlin:"You need to repay me back."

Smaug:"That's easy I got tons of gold back-"

Merlin interrupts Smaug.

Merlin:"Not with gold."

Smaug gets confused.

Smaug:"Then with what?"

Merlin:"I want something magical, like an artifact."

Smaug sighs.

Smaug:"Fine, I'll get you one within the next hundred years."

Merlin:"50."

Smaug:"75."

Merlin:"65."

Smaug:"Deal."

Merlin and Smaug do a handshake and a blue magic circle appears around her hand.

Merlin:"Done. Lifted your curse."

Dave:"Wait, she knew about the curse."

Merlin turns to Dave.

Merlin:"Never underestimate me dear boy."

Merlin then creates a patrol and looks to Smaug.

Merlin:"This will take you back to your friends."

Smaug walks over to the portal and Dave follows.

Merlin:"Oh and Smaug."

Smaug looks to her.

Merlin:"Be careful of the small one that you have wronged."

She uses Magic to push the two dragons through the portal.

The camera moves back to the others and they arrive on a hill overlooking the city.

Elma:"There's the city where Smaug's friend lives."

Ilulu:"So Smaug maybe-"

Suddenly a portal opens up behind them and Smaug and Dave fall out of it. Smaug falls face first into the dirt.

Smaug:*Sits up rubbing his face.* "I hate it when she does that. What was with the cryptic message?"

Dave:"She was awesome!"

The others:"Smaug!"

Smaug Looks over to them.

Smaug:"Oh, hey guys."

Smaug Stands up.

Smaug:"Why are you guys here?"

Lucoa:"We came looking for you."

Smaug:"Awe you guys."

Everyone then notices Dave.

Kobayashi:"Who's that Smaug?"

Smaug looks to Dave.

Smaug:"This is-"

Dave:"Hi, I'm Dave. I'm Smaug's rival!"

Smaug facepalms.

Elma:"Rival!"

Smaug:"He's a kid who has self proclaimed me as his rival. I mean he's not even strong enough. I'm in the top five strongest dragons and he's nowhere near the top one hundred!"

Kobayashi:"Dave? What a weird name for a dragon."

Tohru:"I know."

Lucoa:"I think it's kinda cute."

Dave notices Lucoa's big milkers.

Dave:*Whispers to Smaug.* "Those are so big. Is that even allowed?"

Smaug's eye twitches and he starts to choke Dave out with his tail.

Smaug:"So you guys ready to go home?"

Everyone sweat drops and Smaug sets Dave on the ground and he's gasping for air.

Tohru:"Let's get out of here."

She creates a portal back home.

Dave the transforms into his dragon form.

Dave:"Come on Smaug, Fight me. I finally have enough mana to transform!"

(This is Dave.)

Smaug growls and transforms into his dragon form and towers over Dave. Smaug is at least double Dave's size.

Smaug:"Fine."

Dave gets excited.

Dave:"Yes, fina-"

Dave gets hit by Smaug and is sent flying far into the distance. Smaug changes back into his male human form. He then walks to the group.

Smaug:"Now let's go home."

They all walk to the portal.

Smaug:"You know, this all could have been avoided if someone brought me food."

They enter the portal and it closes behind them. The camera zooms to a nearby tree and it shows the doll from before. It was watching them.

The camera pans to a view of the city then turns black.
