What's up with Chief Duggard?
Maybe he's taking a nap?
With his eyes open.
In the middle of town.
Everything okay, Chief?
[chuckling] Oh, yes, not to worry.
I just threw my back out this morning.
Threw it out?
Oh, no. Why would he get rid of his back?
Doesn't he need it to stand and sit?
And how is his shirt staying on?
He just means he hurt his back, Burple.
Oh, that's a relief.
I was really confused about the shirt thing.
Ah, happens from time to time, gang.
It'll feel better as long as I don't move for a little while.
Uh, how long is a "little while"?
Anywhere from one hour to six weeks, give or take.
[all gasp]
Do you want us to fly you to your hut so you can rest, Chief?
[effort grunts] [pained grunts] Oh, Mommy!
Ah, I don't think I can make it all the way to my hut.
Just lay me down in the closest shady spot you can find,
like over there in that chicken coop,
or under that trash cart filled with rotten fish,
-or next to-- -Inside the Great Hall?
I suppose that could work, too.
-[grunts] -Oh, there!
I'll clear off that table.
I got it!
[slurps] Yum!
Leftovers.
[burps]
[sighs] Thanks, Rescue Riders.
This hard and splintery wooden table
is surprisingly comfortable.
Can we get you anything else, Chief?
Something to eat? Drink?
Maybe a tablecloth to use as a blanket?
Oh, I know! I think I have some books
in one of my stomachs he can read.
[spits] Not a book.
Burple, that actually is a book.
Yeah, but it tasted sort of boring.
[spits] Not a book.
Whoa, I haven't seen that in forever!
Remember this?
"The Amazing Arno's Carnival of Dragons"?
"Carnival of Dragons"? What's that?
It's actually where we first met Cutter and Burple.
Yeah. And you're not going to believe it,
but back then Burple didn't like rocks!
I can't believe it either, but it's true.
You met Cutter and Burple at a Dragon Carnival?
Now that's a story I'd like to hear.
[pained grunts]
Me, too! It was before I joined the team, remember?
All right, then/
Before we found our nest on Huttsgalor,
we pretty much slept on a different island every night.
[Dak] Of course, finding just the right island
wasn't always easy.
What about that one?
Way too rocky.
[wind howling]
What about that one?
Way too windy!
[all yell]
What about this one?
[hiss]
[shudders] Way too eel-y!
Is that a word?
Who cares? Let's go!
Uh, we have to find an island to sleep on soon.
It's getting dark.
Wait, what about that one?
Not too rocky, windy, or eel-y.
Sure, this one could work.
Look!
Uh, if it wasn't filled with people
who might be really scared to find dragons on their island.
Yay! Dragons on our island!
Huh, okay. Maybe I'm wrong.
Are you part of the Dragon Carnival?
What's that?
"The Amazing Arno's Carnival of Dragons"?
It's coming to our island tomorrow and we're so excited.
Ooh, show us what kind of tricks your dragons can do!
Tricks?
Uh, tell them we don't really do tricks.
-[spits] -[kids cheering]
Sorry. They're just so excited.
Yay! We can't wait to see what else happens at the carnival!
Yeah...
Us too.
There it is, the Amazing Arno's carnival ship!
[all cheering]
[all exclaim]
-[applause] -Ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls, and sheep of all ages,
I am the Amazing Arno,
and I am thrilled to welcome you to my spectacular,
my stupendous, my sensational Carnival of Dragons.
[all gasping and cheering]
I have a bad feeling
that I'm gonna have a bad feeling about this.
[cheering continues]
Today you are going to witness something astonishing,
something remarkable,
something you have never laid your eyes on before.
Tamed dragons!
"Tamed dragons"?
Okay, I'm liking this less and less by the second.
[crowd gasps and cheers]
[Winger] Dragons in a cage?
I-I've seen enough.
Me, too.
-Me, three. -Wait!
Just storming in there is a bad idea.
Let's see what's going on and make a plan.
[all sigh]
You and your plans.
First up in my fantabulous flock of fantastic flappers
is the bewildering and bewitching
Belching Baby Fire Breath.
[crowd cheers]
He may be just a baby, but you sure don't want to make him cry.
[chitters] [spits]
[crowd exclaims]
[crowd cheers]
"Belching Baby Fire Breath?"
Doesn't he know that's actually a baby Ramblefang?
Not sure if Arno knows as much about dragons as you do, Ley.
Well, who's this sharp-looking dragon?
[crowd gasps]
That's right, it's none other than the sensational Spikescale!
[shouts]
[scoffs] That's not a "Spikescale", it's a Razorwing!
Everyone knows that!
Well, I know it.
-[crowd cheering] -Silence, please.
-[grunts] -[crowd gasps]
Daring, dangerous, and delicious!
[chomps]
Last but not least,
feast your eyes on the exotic
-and extraordinary... -[gasps]
...jaw-dropping Junkspitter!
[crowd murmurs]
[groans] Come on!
It's not a Junkspitter. It's a Rockspitter!
This digestively dynamic dragon has a stomach of steel
and can eat anything and everything,
and do this!
-Boot! -[spits]
-Bucket! -[spits]
-Helmet! -[spits]
[crowd cheers]
"Stomach of steel"?
Rockspitters actually have four stomachs,
and they eat rocks, not junk.
I wonder if that Rockspitter knows that.
[chomps, spits, swallows]
[chuckling] Well,
I think that's just about everything he swallowed.
-[grunts] -Wait.
You have something else in there?
[spits]
[dolls squeak]
[crowd murmurs]
[chuckling] Oh, that's right.
Don't forget to see me after the show
to buy dolls of all your favorite dragons!
Now, let's have a big hand
for your phenomenal pack of performers!
[cheering and applause]
Thank you. Thank you.
Be sure to buy tickets for tomorrow's show.
And don't forget your dragon dolls!
-[doll squeaks] -Ha-ha!
So you snuck them out and brought Cutter and Burple
with you to Huttsgalor.
What a wonderful story!
Well, I'm afraid it wasn't as easy as all that, Chief.
Not at all.
[crowd clamoring]
-[grunts] -[chewing]
[Leyla] Um, excuse me?
Dragons?
Oh, great.
Fans.
How did they get down here?
We're not fans.
We're here to break you out!
Uh, those humans didn't just talk to us, did they?
Yes, we speak dragon.
Seriously?
Now that's a good trick!
I'm Dak, and this is Leyla.
How long have you all been in here?
Too long! That Arno guy netted me last year
when I was fishing.
Spike-fishing.
It's kinda my thing.
I know. You're a Relentless Razorwing, aren't you?
See? I've been telling you guys I wasn't a "Spikescale".
That's an even worse name than "The Amazing Arno".
I think his real name is Tim.
How about the baby Ramblefang?
"Baby"?
I must admit I am rather insulted by that remark.
Oh, uh...
[chuckling] I'm sorry, I just thought--
Because I'm on the smaller side of my species,
I must be a mere infant?
Uh, well, that and the...
the crying.
Ah, yes.
I must admit I play the part
for our repulsive ringmaster due to one simple fact:
Babies get fed more fish.
But I am actually fully-grown and quite smart.
As he never stops reminding us.
Raf's been here longer than me.
And Burple was hatched here.
That's right! Arno brought me here when I was just an egg.
Uh, I-I think.
I don't really remember being an egg.
But one time I got my head stuck in that barrel
and I bet it was pretty similar.
So you've been in this cage your whole life?
It's not all bad!
Fresh fish after every show and all the junk I can spit.
[chomps] [spits]
You know, Burple,
you're actually a Rockspitter, not a Junkspitter.
[scoffs] A Rockspitter?
That's so funny.
I would never put something as gross as a rock in my mouth.
You gonna finish those?
[slurps] [chomps] [swallows]
Burple's kinda... innocent.
Ever since I got here,
I've done my best to keep him outta trouble.
You guys ever tried breaking out?
You kiddin'?
Tons of times.
But I'm afraid I've analyzed every possible course of action
and escape is simply impossible.
So he says.
But the bars and floor of this cage
are made out of some kinda super strong purple metal
that's dragon-proof.
[Aggro] Hold up.
Purple metal? The cage was made out of Belzium, wasn't it?
Yep. But we didn't know that then.
Just like they didn't know me then!
Well, they were getting to know me,
but they didn't know me as well as they know me now, you know?
Less roar-ey, more story!
Sorry. I think Cutter was just about to say...
So unless you can get the key to that lock,
like Raf said, impossible.
Well, we're two humans who can talk to dragons.
"Impossible" is kinda what we do.
Wait, you can talk to dragons?
Oh, right, we covered that.
Like I said, kinda innocent.
All we need is the right plan...
Hey, what are you doing down here?
Uh... [chuckles] What are we doing down here?
Funny you should ask!
Do I look like I'm laughing?
The reason we are here
is that we are dragon carnival inspectors.
And we really need to inspect the inside of this cage,
so if you could just unlock this door
and then wait outside...
"Dragon carnival inspectors"?
I couldn't think of anything else to say!
[both] Whoa!
Then why don't we just tell him the truth?
Uh, I don't think that is a good idea.
Arno, my sister and I are here...
because we want to join your carnival!
We do?
-Huh? -We do?
-Uh, yeah, we do! -Uh...
And just what use would I have for you two?
Not much.
But what about us four?
Winger, Summer, come!
Oh, boy, what's he getting us into this time?
[groans]
So what do ya say?
Your dragons and our dragons
together in an even more fantastic, fabulous and...
fantabulicious show?
"Fantabulicious".
I like it.
[chuckles] I'm keeping it.
Welcome to the carnival life, kids!
[sighs] But just so we're clear,
I'm still the Ringmaster around here, got it?
Make yourself at home.
[chuckles]
Dak, what are you doing?
Uh, these bars are dragon-proof.
The only way to get these guys out was to get you in.
Now we know where Arno keeps the key.
So all we have to do is get the key out from under his hat
and sneak you all out.
It's actually not a bad plan.
See? I do my best planning when I'm not planning at all.
What are you doing?
You're not talking to the dragons, are you?
[laughs] Of course not!
You can't talk to dragons. That's silly.
So silly.
Yes. But it would be a great trick for the carnival.
We should work on faking that.
Now come on. We've got a lot of rehearsing to do
if we want to be ready for tomorrow's show.
[all grunting nervously]
[exclaiming]
[all grunt]
[chuckles] The falling part is funny.
Let's leave that in.
Ah? You wanna try?
Might make for a big finish.
I'll hold your hat.
I'll pass.
[groans]
-[spits] -[grunts]
What can she do?
[exclaims]
Four out of five. Not bad.
Not good either.
Both your dragons need to practice their aim.
No fish for them until they get those tricks right.
All right, guys. Time to get out of here.
Yes!
Quietly.
Well, I have to say, I am impressed.
Well done.
Do you think you could be impressed outside the cage?
You coming, Burps?
Uh...
No?
Excuse me?
I told you, I-I was raised here.
This is the only life I know.
How sad.
Well, ta-ta!
Burple, dragons were meant to fly free.
It's what we do.
It's what you do.
I was born here.
This is what I do.
Burple, buddy, haven't I always looked out for you?
Trust me.
It's better out there.
I don't know.
In here, I'm the star of the show.
I beg your pardon?
You, the star?
Dear child, your talent is eating junk.
And spitting it back out.
[scoffs] You think you're the star?
A dragon that only breathes fire?
Some of us breathe fire and throw spikes.
[clears throat] I do go last, you know.
To help sell dollies.
Okay guys, you all make really excellent points.
But let's continue the discussion outside.
[Arno] Or not.
Well, well.
So you really can talk to dragons?
Now that is a fantabulicious trick
that my audiences will love!
[laughs]
[Duggard] I can't believe it.
Now you were all captured?
And I can't believe if you'd just hung onto the key,
he couldn't have locked you in there!
How did you guys survive before you met me?
We did okay.
Can I tell the next part?
Because--because I had a really big and important--
Burple, Duggard won't understand you.
Oh. [sighs] Right. Continue.
So we spent all night in the cage.
And the next morning, Arno came down to see us
right before showtime.
[Arno] Hello, hello, hello.
Word has spread that I have two new dragons,
so I expect a big crowd.
I even stayed up all night
making these two new dragon dolls.
[dolls squeak]
Yes, I sew.
It's an important part of the carnival arts.
That's actually not bad for a first attempt.
What makes you think we're gonna perform for you?
What makes you think I'm going to feed you if you don't?
Now, if you will excuse me, I have tickets to sell.
Lots and lots of tickets.
[laughs]
I'm really sorry, guys.
I guess this is my fault.
Wow. Good guess.
I was just afraid to be on my own.
Where am I gonna find junk to spit?
Burple, I told you,
you are a Rockspitter, not a "Junkspitter".
Yuck.
And you wouldn't have to be on your own.
You could come with us.
Be a part of our family.
Really?
Of course. I mean, if we ever get outta here.
Which doesn't seem very likely at the moment.
I don't know about that.
"Arno the Amazing" made one big amazing mistake.
He put all of us in here together.
And now all your combined powers are going to get us out.
I like where you're going with this, sis.
I have no idea where you're going with this, but I like it.
Raf and Cutter, how long can you keep your fire blasts going?
Longer than Cutter's.
We'll see about that.
But what good will it do?
We've blasted those bars many times.
They don't break.
We don't need them to.
You're just gonna heat them up.
So they'll bend.
Exactly.
And who exactly is going to do the bending?
-He is. -I am?
Yes, you are going to roll up in a ball,
ram those bars and bend them.
I am?
It's a power all Rockspitters have.
See?
But I'm a Junkspitter.
Close enough.
Okay. If you say so.
Not to be a spoilsport, but when Burple rams
into the red-hot bars, won't he burn himself?
The spoilsport has a point.
No, Burple will not burn himself,
because right before he hits the bars,
Summer is going to cool him down with a water blast.
The spoilsport does not have a point.
This could work!
And what do I do?
You stand by.
If we get past the bars, we'll need your power blast
to get the rest of the way outta here.
Exactly. Everyone ready?
-Yes! -Oh, yeah!
Maybe?
Boy, I hope this works.
Whoa!
[grunts]
[all gasp]
I am impressed.
Whoa!
And I'm not hot.
Let's go again!
[loud thud]
-[gasps] -[nervous chatter]
Uh, just my loyal dragons rehearsing.
-[thud] -[all gasp]
Practice makes perfect.
[thud]
I-It's a very difficult trick.
Perhaps I should go check on them.
[chuckles nervously]
[panting]
Whew.
Whoa, am I dizzy.
And I'm almost out of water.
I think I have one more fire blast left.
[panting] If you do, sir, then so do I.
[both inhale]
Whoa!
[grunts]
You're up, Wing!
[Winger grunts]
[all cheering]
Looks like we won't be part of your show after all.
Haven't you heard?
The show must go on.
Whether you want it to or not!
[both grunt]
[all struggling]
[cheering stops, then starts]
Oh, yes, yes. Thank you.
Uh, you're a wonderful audience.
We do it all for you.
[grunts]
Burple, save yourself!
Or save us. That would work too.
But how?
What can I do?
I don't even have any junk to spit!
For the last time, you are a Rockspitter.
Get some rocks and smash those controls!
But the dirt, and the taste, and the--
Burple, if you want to be a family together,
we need your help and we need it now!
[chuckling] Yes!
Uh, this is a new trick I call "Escape to Nowhere".
Wrote it. Directed it.
Uh, these dragons will do anything I tell them.
-[gasps] [growls] -Especially Junksy.
[chomping]
Yuck. [chomps]
Look! The trick's not over!
That dragon's still pretending to fight back.
[crowd cheering]
Uh, it's all part of the show.
Stop, Junksy!
I, the Amazing Arno, command you!
I'm serious. No more junk for you.
I never liked that sound!
-[spitting] -Whoa!
[crowd cheering]
[groans]
Thank you. Thank you.
Now, that concludes our performance.
That went exactly as planned.
Tomorrow's show, however, is on hold, indefinitely.
Well, if you will excuse me, I feel the need to travel east.
Cutter, Burple, care to come with?
Um...
Did you mean what you said about being a family?
Of course.
I guess I'll go with them.
Cutter?
Uh, I should probably stick with Burple.
Not 'cause I'm lonely or anything,
because he needs me to keep him out of trouble.
I totally understand.
Plus I was only asking to be polite.
I need to find some Ramblefangs
who will match my level of intelligence.
Dak, Leyla, I want to say
that you two are the nicest humans I have ever met.
But since the only other human I ever met
kept me locked up in a cage,
I guess that's not really saying much.
Ta-ta!
Aw!
[Dak] And we've all been together ever since that night.
I wonder what happened to the Amazing Arno.
Or Raf?
Or Cutter?
Burps.
Oh, right.
I'm not sure what that roaring was about,
but I thought that story was fantastic.
So fantastic that I think it fixed my back.
[grunts]
[pained grunt] Mommy!
Nope, I was wrong about that.
Got any more good stories?
I'll just listen to them from down here.
