In the mountain, Thórin decided to save Bilbo and charges down the stairs throughout the tunnels. He stops suddenly when flames light up the walls of the tunnel. He runs out onto the same overhang Bilbo had reached earlier, and then stops abruptly when he sees the mountain of treasure all around him. As he breathes heavily in joy, Bilbo runs up to him.
"You're alive!" Thórin exclaimed proudly.
"Not for much longer!" Bilbo panicked.
"Did you find the Arkenstone?" Thórin asked him anxiously.
"The dragon's coming!" Bilbo warned.
"The Arkenstone!" Thórin snapped.
Thórin and Bilbo were both standing at the entrance to the tunnel, but Thórin was blocking Bilbo's way. They pause and look at each other for several seconds.
"Did you find it?" Thórin asked him quietly.
They stare at each other for several seconds, panting heavily.
"No. We have to get out." Bilbo answered.
As Bilbo tries to enter the tunnel, Thórin swings his sword across it, blocking the entrance. He presses the blade against Bilbo, and Bilbo stumbles back, the sword still touching him. Bilbo and Thórin face each other, with the tip of Thórin's sword against Bilbo's chest.
"Thórin. Thórin!" Bilbo exclaimed.
Buffy comes down and noticed what was happening.
"Thórin, what are you doing?" Buffy asked, concerned.
Thórin didn't answer her and continues to step forward, forcing Bilbo to step back. Bilbo's eyes are open in fear, and Thórin's face is steel and blank of emotion.
"Thórin, put the sword down!" Buffy exclaimed. "Thórin!"
Suddenly, Bilbo looks off to the side, and both Buffy and Thórin hear a sound in their direction. They turn and see Smaug approaching over the mountain of treasure. Smaug, recognizing Thórin, snarls at the dwarf. Suddenly, the remaining Dwarves and Scoobies run out of the tunnel and ready their weapons to face Smaug.
Smaug roars and rushes at them as his chest and neck glow orange. "YOU WILL BURN!"
"RUN!" Buffy yelled.
Just as Smaug bellows fire at them, the Dwarves and Scoobies take Bilbo and they all turn and jump off the staircase. They tumble down the pile of treasure and land near the entrance to another tunnel, which they run into.
"Come on, Bilbo!" Angel cried.
Angrily, Smaug breathes fire in all directions. Thórin, the last one in the door, pushed in by the force of the flames. He runs into the room at the other end of the tunnel with the back of his coat on fire, and he throws himself on the ground and rolls to extinguish the flames. He jumps back up.
"Come on." Thórin beckoned.
