They all came together again next to the giant furnaces.
"The plans not gonna work, these furnaces are stone cold" Dwalin said.
"He's right, we've no fire hot enough to set them ablaze" Balin said and Solaris gave Thorin a look that told him a light bulb just went on in her head as the dragon roared in the distance.
"No" Thorin said but Solaris smiled at him.
"Take cover" she shouted and ran to where the dragon was looming. "Hey porky!" she called to the dragon. "You've got big haven't you, sitting on your ever so large pile of coins has done nothing for your figure, its no wonder your still able to move, slug!" she smirked at Smaug and he growled.
"Take cover!" Thorin yelled and they all pressed themselves to the wall.
Fire blazed past them and lit the furnace nearest them, they them came to life one by one.
"Bombur, get those bellows going. Go!" Thorin ordered.
The dwarves started to rush around pumping the bellows to get the fire hotter, Smaug was using his body to try and break through the iron gates that separated him from them.
"Bilbo!" Thorin called "Up there, pull that level on my mark" Thorin ordered.
"What shall I do?" Solaris asked.
"Nothing" Thorin said and she looked at him hurt. He ran over to her and put his hands on her shoulders. "You misunderstand" he said smiling the biggest smile she'd ever seen on his face. He turned to look at the fires that were now blazing. "You have done enough, just stay close to me"
He pulled her backwards with the other dwarves "Balin, can you still mix a flash flame?" Thorin asked.
"Aye, it'll only take a jiffy. Come on!"
"We don't have a jiffy" Dwalin said as Smaug pushed his way through the iron.
"Where's the sulphur?" Balin shouted as the dwarves raided the shelves in the store room.
"You sure you know what your doing?" Dori asked.
"Faster" Solaris said standing by the door and watching Smaug loom closer. "Faster Balin faster!"
"NOW!" Thorin yelled and Bilbo pulled the lever. Bilbo had to use all of his weight to get the lever down but once it was down water came flooding in. Smaug writhed and wriggled away and the sound of cogs turning started. The water was a counter weight that started everything in the mine moving, Bombur was still pulling up and down on a chain that fanned the fire. Balin's flash fire was now ready and they threw the pots at Smaug that exploded with a blue light when they hit him. But he still came at them when suddenly one of the ropes holding barrels full of golden coins was cut and then barrels landed on Smaug. He let out a roar and flailed about next to one of the furnaces.
"Laris, the chain!" Thorin yelled and Solaris pulled the chain closet to her. Molten gold was released from the large pot above the furnace.
"Lead him to the Gallery of the Kings!" Thorin yelled and ran away.
"Where are you going?" Solaris asked. He disappeared for a second and then reappeared with a wheelbarrow.
"What the?" Solaris asked herself puzzled.
"Come My Lady" Dwalin shouted.
Solaris sped past the dwarves and made it to the Gallery of the Kings just as Bilbo was shouting "WAIT!"
She skidded to a stop "Where are you going slug?" she called to Smaug.
"I thought it high time I paid Lake-Town a visit" he smirked.
"You can't this is nothing to do with them!" Bilbo shouted.
"There are innocent people, children!" Solaris pleaded.
Smaug laughed "You care about them, good" he said.
He moved right over to the elf and hobbit. Solaris put her hands on Bilbo's shoulders and pulled him close to her. "Then you can watch them die"
"No, stop!" Solaris yelled as the dragon turned tail.
"Here, you witless worm!" a deep voice called out.
They turned and saw Thorin standing up high holding onto a chain.
"You" Smaug rumbled.
"I am taking back what you stole" Thorin said.
"You will take nothing from me Dwarf" Smaug growled striding towards the dwarf. "I laid low your warriors of old. I instilled terror in the hearts of men"
Solaris and Bilbo ran closer to watch what was going to happen next.
"I am king under the mountain" Smaug said rearing up so he was face to face with Thorin.
"This is not your kingdom, these are dwarf lands, this is dwarf gold and we will have our revenge" he then yelled in Dwarfish and pulled on a chain. That was the signal for all the other dwarves to start pulling on their chains also. Solaris and Bilbo watched as the chains broke loose and revealed a large golden statue of a dwarf. Smaug stared mesmerised by the statue, so much so that he didn't move when parts of the statue started to bubble and rupture. He hissed in horror as the whole statue turned into a molten mess and knocked him backwards onto the floor and covering him with liquid gold in the process. The pool of gold was still for a second and then Smaug exploded from the pool and writhed forward.
"Revenge!" he shouted. "Revenge, I will show you revenge!"
As he groaned he ran towards the end of the hall and burst his way through the wall. "NOOO!" Solaris screamed as she watched the dragon leave the hall.
She raced after him and came to a stop on some of the smashed stone outside.
"I am fire" she heard the dragon growl "I am death"
"No, no, no" she said shaking her head as she watched Smaug fly towards Lake-Town.
"What have we done?" Bilbo asked next to her.
With tears in her eyes she turned to look at Thorin who'd made it outside.
"He's going to destroy Lake-Town" she cried. "He's going to kill Oin and Bofur" she said sniffing "He's going to kill Fili and Kili"

So, here we are. This is it. The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies comes out this Friday and I'm seeing it next Tuesday. But even then I wont be able to update on this trilogy till BOFA comes out on DVD so I can watch it in more detail. In the meantime please feel free to have a look at my other stories, I have a wide range. Also the music I listened to which gave me inspiration for The Hobbit: Anywhere for you and Bonds that Can't be Broken were; Anywhere for You by John Martin, Always Gold by Radical Face, See What I've become and The Way by Zack Hemsey, Into the West by Peter Hollens and the new Cindarella movie scoure composed by Nick Murrey. One last thing there are so many behind the scenes videos oh youtube for Dean O'Gorman and Aiden Turner who play Fili and Kili, their so funny and I recommend you ckeck them out.
Keep an eye on this space as I will be concluding my version of events as soon as the last Hobbit film comes out on DVD.
Love as always Mayday xx
