"Look!" Dwalin pointed out, the dragon's fire was just what they need to get those furnaces working. Thorin grabbed Freya's hand and got her away from the bar's that the dragon was now trying to break down. They had to act quickly, the pillar's weren't going to hold the dragon back forever. Smaug continue to snarl at them, while he pressed his weight against the gate trying to break it down.

"Bombur!" Thorin called out. "Get those bellows working. Go!" He ordered the dwarf. Bombur did as the prince ordered. He than turned to woman. "I need you to go up those set of stairs and pull that lever on my mark." She nodded and started running for the stairs.

"Bilbo. Come with me." She urged as she ran passed her cousin and the two hobbit climbed up the steps. Thorin did a quick scan to see the dragon was starting to break the pillar's down and he looked for the next person he wished to speak to.

"Balin! Can you still mix a flash-flame?"

" Aye. It'll only take a jiffy." He informed. "Come on!" He yelled to a few of the dwarves to follow him into one of the rooms they kept the supplies.

"We don't have a jiffy." Dwalin hissed, not agreeing with his brother's choice of words as the beast was just about in. One more push and he would be in. Smaug was now in and he searched the area, his chest already glowing, ready if he saw any dwarves that he could set on fire. Freya and Bilbo were just climbing the last flight of stairs to the lever.

Freya was the first to get onto the platform, the lever was just out of reach, she would have to jump just reach the handle. Bilbo looked behind him and saw the dragon was heading right in their direction, but it didn't appear that he had spotted them yet.

Thorin wasn't far away, standing in the open waiting for the beast to see him. Smaug was about to keep going when out of the corner of his eye, he saw the dwarf prince. He turned and growled at him.

"Now!" Thorin yelled. Freya jumped for the handle on the lever but she wasn't strong enough to pull it down.

"Bilbo help!" Bilbo grabbed the handle, pulling the lever just as the dragon was about to breathe fire when huge jets of water came shooting out of the carved faces in the wall and slam into Smaug, knocking him off balance and quenching the flames he was beginning to blow at Thorin. The dragon slides into the side of the furnace from the force of the water, and the glow in his chest disappears.

Roaring in fury, Smaug flaps into the air and begins thrashing about wildly. The jets of water cause a watermill to begin turning some gears, which causes the various rope conveyor belts to begin operation. Some of them are full of heavy chunks of rock and more.

Bombur continues going up and down on his chain, pumping the bellows and turning the furnace fire blue. Atop the furnaces, the solid impure gold begins to glow and melt. Smaug begins crawling towards Thorin once again. Freya and Bilbo begin to climb down the mound as Smaug continues to approach the dwarf.

Suddenly there is a flash of blue light on the side of his head. Balin, Ori, and Dori are throwing flash-flame bombs at the beast. However, Smaug is not at all fazed by them and continues to stalk towards them. Out of nowhere the rope of the conveyor belt full of heavy rocks, falls, dropping tons of rocks on the back of the dragon making him crash to the ground, roaring.

The gold atop the furnaces is now completely melted. Thorin runs over to one of the furnaces and pulls on a chain, opening a gate with allows the molten gold to flow out of the furnaces and through troughs built into the ground.

Smaug tangles himself in the ropes of the conveyor belt, thrashing about and hits the rope of the conveyor belt Gloin and Bifur are in, breaking it and knocking it to the floor, with them yelling and miraculously land on the ground unhurt. Beneath smaug rivers of gold flow through the troughs on the floor Thorin turns and begins running, shouting back at the dwarves.

"Lead him to the gallery of the kings."

The dragon is still struggling to get the heavy buckets off of him when one of them goes flying towards Freya and Bilbo on top of the mound. Freya yells as Bilbo pulls her out of the way of the flying object and hits the wall, taking a large chunk out of it.

Thorin grabs a wheelbarrow and runs while pushing it, dodging Smaug. The dragon's tail smashes into the base of the mound the two hobbit's are on and it begins to shake. Thorin throws the wheelbarrow into the river of gold and leaps into it; it floats on the liquid and is carried along and smaug snarls as Thorin floats through the entrance.

The mound Bilbo and Freya are on collapses, sending them both falling and screaming as they hit the ground rolling. Smaug looks straight at them both and growls. Thorin turns his head back and yells at them.

"Freya! Bilbo! Keep going, run!" Freya grabbed Bilbo by his arm, pulling him to his feet and they both ran as fast as they could with Smaug in pursuit. They leap onto a large stone slide before the beast can grab them, and he slides after them, demolishing all the stone structures in his way.

Once they stop sliding, they get back on their feet and start running towards a doorway and into a massive hall adorned with banners hundreds of feet tall. Just as the two hobbit's run in, the wall above the doorway explodes as Smaug jumps through it.

Avoiding the flying chunks of stone, Freya veers off to the right and manages to take cover behind a pillar while her cousin continues to run straight, but get's caught beneath the cloth of a falling banner and knocked to the floor. Smaug leaps to the floor and shouts angrily.

Freya peered around from the pillar, not seeing her cousin anywhere and she panicked. The dragon searched around frantically. think it saw her, she let out a gasp as she hid back behind the pillar.

"You think you can decieve me, Barrel-Rider?" Smaug roared, angrily. The woman carefully looked again, the beast clearly hadn't seen her, but she did see something move beneath the cloth. "You have come from Lake-town. This is some sordid scheme hatched between these filthy dwarves and those miserable tub-trading lakemen." The dragon bellowed, as he snarled at the thought of anyone trying their luck against him.

" Those sniveling cowards with their long bows and black arrows!" His voice was filled with both fury and fear at the same time. "Perhaps it is time I paid them a visit." Smaug hissed as he started heading towards his only way out.

"Oh, no." Bilbo gasped. "This isn't their fault!" Bilbo shouted as he came out from under the cloth. Freya watched in worry for her cousin. "Wait! You cannot go to Lake-town!" The dragon stopped and had a smug on his face at this.

"Hmm? You care about them, do you? Good. Then you can watch them die." The dragon continued on his way to the main entrance. Freya ran over to Bilbo when they heard Thorin.

"Here! You witless worm." Smaug growls lightly and turns around to look at the dwarf prince.

"You."

"I am taking back what you stole." Thorin hissed.

"You will take nothing from me...dwarf" He growled. marching towards him. "I laid low your warriors of old." Freya and Bilbo came running over and hid behind some pillars watching Smaug approach Thorin. " I instilled terror in the hearts of men. I am king under the mountain."

"This is not your kingdom. These are dwarf lands, this is dwarf gold, and we will have out revenge." Smaug's glared and snarled at him when Thorin suddenly shouted something in dwarvish. The stone structure that the dwarf is standing on begins to fall apart and reveal a massive statue of King Thror made entirely out of gold.

Smaug looks at the golden statue, which is even larger than him, in awe and desire. As he approaches it, his mouth opens slightly in greed. Suddenly, the gold around the statue's eyes warps and then explodes into liquid; the gold in the statue had not yet fully solidified, and the entire statue collapses and explodes into burning hot liquid. Smaug roars in anger as the statue melts, and scrabbles backward to escape the gold. However, he cannot move fast enough and the tidal wave of gold hits him and knocks him over. As he roars, he is entirely smothered and drowned in the gold, which fills the entire hall in a layer several feet deep.

The gold soon settles and there is no sign of smaug. The dwarves begin to smile in joy. The two cousins looked at each and wondered if Smaug was really dead. Slowly walking towards the edge Freya peers over the side, when all of a sudden the surface of the golden lake explodes as Smaug leaps out. He is entirely covered in gold, and he screams in anger and pain . The woman jumped back as a gasp escaped her lips.

"Ahh! Revenge?! Revenge?! I will show you revenge!" Smaug roared as he crashed through the wall of the mountain and flew into the air. Freya looked over at Thorin, her face was filled with fear for the people of Lake-town and worse Fili, Kili, Bofur and Oin were over there. She looked to the now demolished entrance and saw her cousin running out and she followed him, leaving Thorin there wondering what he had just done.

Bilbo watched from on top of a chunk of rock as Smaug flew towards the lake and uttered something just as Freya joined him.

"What have we done?"
