Twilight Sparkle: This isn't going to be one of those deals where you, y'know, take us out right after you de-power us, is it?
Tirek: Hmph. I lied to Discord; I can certainly lie to you. And you'd be naive to think that harm would not come your way eventually, directly or otherwise. But if your intention is to dictate the terms of your surrender, then I find them agreeable. Once all of your magic is mine, I will take my victory rampage elsewhere and leave you in peace, for a time. It is not as though you'll be a threat to me, after all.

Twilight Sparkle: Fine. One extra-large order of alicorn magic coming up, in exchange for my friends.
Discord: What?!
Twilight Sparkle: And Discord.
Discord: That... wasn't why I was surprised!!
