-Where are you, Death Dragon?
* *
I know you're here. [grunts]
-[light music playing] -Mm, mm.
Come on! I know I've seen this symbol somewhere before.
[sighs]
-[grunts] Hey! Any luck deciphering
the Dark Realm page of the book?
We have to find it before Buzzsaw.
-I know, Tom. I'm doing the best I can.
-Hey, Jun. Any luck deciphering the Dark Realm page of the book?
We have to find it before Buzzsaw.
-Okay, where's the Dark Realm? Let's hit it!
-[blows raspberry] I'm sensing another epic Jun Bug fail.
-Look, guys, it's not as easy as just reading from a book.
These are ancient runes written a thousand years ago.
All it takes is a little smudge and they become illegible.
-But you'resupposed to be
an expert on all this dopey stuff.
That's our sibling balance. I'm gorgeous, you're the nerd.
-Eugene! -What?
That's what it says on our birth certificates.
-TOM: Give her time! -I'm going back to bed.
-Ugh, come on! -Guys, stop!
I did learn somethings.
In Norse Mythology,
the Dark Realm is a creepy, desperate place
sometimes known as Helheim.
-Sounds like a great spot for a summer rental.
-This snake-like beast drawn here must be Jörmungandr,
also known as the World Serpent.
The book claims it's the apex predator to all dragons.
-The apex predator to all dragons?
That explains why Buzzsaw wants it so badly.
-It probably also explains why dragons are afraid of eels.
Look at that thing!
-It must reside in the Dark Realm.
If I could just figure out this last rune,
I think it'll point us in the right direction.
[sighs] I know I've seen it in one of my myth books.
I-I've been looking all night!
-[coughs] Um, it isn't, like, um, in the book with the weird
Viking boat on the cover, right?
No? Okay, good. Didn't think so.
-You used my myth book as a coaster?
-Well, yeah. I didn't wanna put a water circle on the desk.
-Thatwould be irresponsible. -Ugh.
-New rule: Eugene has to ask permission
before he does anything.
-Uh, can I object to that rule? -ALL: No.
JUN: Guys!
I know where to find the Dark Realm.
* *
-Okay. So, like, this is the Dark Realm?
-I don't think so. This must be some sort of passageway.
-Everyone, just keep your eyes open.
Spiderwings and Bubblehorns live here.
-Oh, great. So, we're flying right through a meat grinder
so we can find the most gnarly realm imaginable
just so we can be eaten
by a creature I can't even pronounce?
-Don't worry, bro. I'm sure Jörmungandr will spare you.
You smell a bit spoiled.
-Yeah, right. I smell like victory sprinkled on perfection.
[sniffs] Ew.
-Can we stop sniffing ourselves and focus?
If we don't figure out a way past
the Spiderwings and Bubblehorns,
we won't even reach the Dark Realm.
-Let's just do the opposite of whatever Kullersen says.
-Oh, ho, ho that's nice.
Maybe you should just start a new team
and make yourself the leader?
Oh wait, you already tried that.
-Hey, that would've worked if it had worked.
-Enough!
Look, I know that Dragon Club has been officially disbanded,
but this mission is far too important
to let our bickering get in the way
of stopping Buzzsaw.
So, I'm calling for a truce.
No more arguing and no more fighting
until we stop Buzzsaw from reaching the World Serpent.
-Okay. -Yeah.
-You're right. -Whatever.
-Good. Now stay on our wing.
We'll go low to avoid the Spiderwings,
then fly over the watering hole to dodge the Bubblehorns.
[dragon roars]
* *
-[sighs] Hm.
It's gotta be around here somewhere.
-I'm not seeing anything, Jun.
Are you sure you read the book correctly?
I mean, you said it yourself,
one smudge can make all the difference.
-I'd like to say, in a trucey,
non-arguing, non-jerky kinda way,
that I think Jun completely blew this.
-Eugene!
-What? I said it in a non-jerky way.
-Listen, I'm not saying Eugene is right,
but I've played a lot of video games in my day
and the entrance to a Realm like this would always have a guard
or a powerful sentry watching over it.
-Yeah, a guard or whatever that other thing Gonzo said.
-A powerful sentry, of course!
* *
Remember when we were searching for Thunder
and we battled the Crystal Whip dragon?
We never figured out why it attacked us unprovoked.
-You think it was guarding the entrance to the Dark Realm?
-I'd bet my limited edition Nostradamus tarot cards on it.
-Oh-ho, man.
That is by far the geekiest thing you've ever said.
-[D'Angelo clears throat] -Sorry... Truce.
-If you're right, Jun,
and the Crystal Whip iswaiting for us,
we should've worn our fire suits.
-[roars] -Look!
That might be the entrance to the Dark Realm.
[tense music playing]
-[gasps] The Crystal Whip.
Oh no!
* *
-[Crystal Whip grumbles] -[gasps]
He's alive!
[growls]
Don't worry. I got you.
-What happened to him?
-Buzzsaw.
-Can you help him, D? He looks pretty bad.
-Do you have any slugs?
-I extracted the medicinal qualities
out of the slug slime and converted it to a liquid.
I just hope it's not too late.
[roars]
It's okay. Just rest.
-[sighs] Nice work, D.
-I couldn't have done it better myself.
-You couldn't have done it at all. [chuckles]
Sorry. Truce.
-Guess that means we're behind Buzzsaw.
-[groans] Sledkin must've decoded the Dragon Book for him
before I got it back.
-Look, just because we're behind Buzzsaw
doesn't mean he's found the World Serpent yet.
-Maybe we can get there first! -[distant roars]
* *
-And what's our plan if we do?
[tense music playing]
[roars]
-Easy, pal. -[grumbles]
Okay. Stay close.
Buzzsaw could be hiding anywhere.
-Or Jörmungandr. -[growls]
-Jun, watch our right. Alex, left.
We don't wanna get ambushed.
-Hm. Hacked by a hatchet or swallowed whole?
Is it dealer's choice?
-Come on, Gonzo. You're afraid of the dark?
-No, Eugene, I'm afraid of what's lurking in the dark!
-Guys! We promised not to fight on this mission.
If Buzzsaw finds the World Serpent,
every dragon we know could be in danger.
[roars]
I really thought we were gonna pull it together today.
We didn't just used to be Dragon Riders,
we also used to be friends.
[Feathers whimpers]
[roars]
-D's right. We should--
-[distant roaring] -[gasps]
Tell me that was your stomach, pal.
-[screeches] -[Tom yelps]
[D'Angelo yelps]
[sizzling]
Red Dragonsite?
-Red, green. What's the diff?
They're both just steaming rocks.
-Or is it something more than that?
The Dark Realm has always been known
for its mystery and danger.
-What the heck are we getting ourselves into?
[screeching]
-It's almost like they're lighting us a path.
-A path to our doom.
[squeals]
[sizzling]
-Oh, I get it. Thisis the Dark Realm.
-Yeah. We definitely found it. -[growls]
[grumbles]
-Jun? Any thoughts?
-Well, in Norse Mythology,
Loki placed his unruly daughter down here,
treating it like a creepy prison where she could do no harm.
-I am definitely getting the creepy prison vibe.
-This Realm has always been
associated with the souls of the dead,
lumbering aimlessly through the night,
searching for their earthbound husks.
-Earthbound husks? Seriously, Jun?
Did you really need to share that last part?
-Come on, guys. We're running out of time.
We have to find the World Serpent before Buzzsaw.
[screeches]
[all coughing]
[shrieks]
[coughing]
* *
[Eugene groans]
[groans]
This Dragonsite steam is nasty.
-This whole place is nasty.
-[groans] How are we supposed to find anything out here?
-Yeah, it feels like we're walking aimlessly.
-Plowhorn's the tracker dragon. Why isn't she tracking anything?
-Yeah, D. Move Plow to the front.
-Don't try to pin this all on Plowhorn.
She's doing the best she can! Come on, Plow.
-[roaring] -JUN: Hey, watch it!
[sniffing]
[grumbles]
-See? She has a scent. Everybody happy now?
[screeching]
-I'd be happier sitting through a trigonometry lecture.
[screeches]
* *
-[sniffs] -What's goin' on? Why is she stopping?
We have to find Buzzsaw!
-You're the dragon whisperer, Tom, why don't you ask her?
EUGENE: Whoa.
Check it out.
-Buzzsaw. We're close!
-Come on! Let's push through. We can make it.
[roars]
-Plowhorn doesn't like that idea, Tom.
-Well, I'm the leader, and I say we push through.
-Can't we just fly over?
-Or go around? -Or go home?
-Fine. If that's how you all feel,
everyone do whatever everyone wants to do.
-How 'bout that? -GROUP: Fine!
* *
-[growls] -Come on, Thunder.
[growls]
* *
[Eugene grunts]
-See that? Nothing happened. Guess we were allright.
-Or I was just right. We should've pushed through.
-Hey. Back off Gonzo, Kullersen.
-Don't talk to Tom that way.
-Yeah, Eugene! Only Jun gets to talk to me that way.
-What?! I won't be talking to you at all!
-No one should talk but me. -[all arguing]
-This mission sucks! -[arguing continues]
[intense music plays]
-Quiet! You're all driving me nuts!
Jun, your stupid myths and tarot cards
are what broke us up to begin with.
And if I have to hear one more sarcastic comment
that undermines a mission, I'm gonna throw up, Alex.
And Eugene, the poisonous apple.
We nevershould've let you join us.
You've been nothing but a pain from the start.
And Tom, you call yourself a leader?
You're a joke, man.
You couldn't lead a Flood Fang to a watering hole.
In fact, I wish I'd never met any of you! [gasps]
[tense music plays]
-D?
-I, I, I've never said anything
like that to anyone before.
I... I-I don't know what's happening to me.
-I thought we were supposed to have a truce.
In fact, it was your brilliant idea!
Then you shred us?
-It's not you, D...
-It's this place. -[Feathers grumbling]
Can't you guys feel it?
Like a sad, angry pit in your gut.
-[roars] -Yeah. I feel it too, Alex.
And I think the dragons do as well.
[growling, grumbling]
-It's the Red Dragonsite. The steam!
The deeper we go, the more of it we're breathing.
-Quick! Everyone get away from it!
-I guess it's possible the Red Dragonsite steam
is affecting our serotonin levels,
throwing us off and making us mad.
-We should just get outta here!
Before it makes us tear each other apart.
-No. We can't! We have to stop
Buzzsaw from finding Jörmungandr.
-We have to become stronger than we've ever been before,
as Riders and as friends.
-Then what do you suggest?
-If we're gonna get through this
and overcome the effects of Red Dragonsite,
it's time we get real.
-Uh, I think you just got real, D'Angelo.
[softly] And it was real scary.
-You wanna get real? [chuckles] Let's get real!
D'Angelo, you spend way too much time in your dragon hospital.
Alex, you spend way too much time on your computer,
and Tom and Jun, you spend way too much time
playin' holdie-hands!
How can we be a team if nobody's ever around?
[all arguing]
See? This is why we'll never survive the Dark Realm.
None of you can even look at yourselves in the mirror.
-And what about you?
You act like you're so perfect, Eugene.
What have you ever done wrong?
-I believed in us.
* *
I thought I was finally part of something big,
something legendary.
The Dragon Riders: Protectors of the Realms!
Something nobody could take away.
[sighs] We just let it all fall apart like a bunch of losers.
-I'm sorry, guys. -[Thunder grumbles]
You and the dragons mean more to me than anything.
-I guess Tom and I have been spending
a lot of time away from you guys.
-And even though helping dragons is a part of our mission,
I have let a lot of my Rider responsibilities slide.
-And I figured, since the Riders were over,
I'd go back to my online community.
But... it wasn't the same anymore.
I missed all of you.
-Tom and I spent too much time on ourselves.
-We'll fix that.
-And I love the dragon hospital, but I also love you guys.
I'll focus more on my work/life balance.
-I'm with you.
Wendy needs an upgrade anyway.
She's too sassy.
-New rule: No more burying our feelings
until they bubble and fester and destroy
the best group of friends to ever ride dragons
in the history of the Nine Realms.
-You might need to write that down for me.
-Dragon Riders? -ALL: Dragon Riders.
-[chuckling] -Let's go!
[cheering]
-They'll never admit it, Webs, but you and I know the truth.
We're the glue that holds this team together.
[roars]
I mean, ya know, m-maybe the tape.
[distant roaring]
-We have to hurry, Riders. D, Plow, you've got point.
-Steer us clear of that Red Dragonsite.
-On it. -EUGENE: Wait, wait, wait.
Maybe Webs and I should take point.
-I'd say you're good right where ya are.
-Okay, fine, if you want us to watch
the rear for ambushes and stuff, we can do that, too.
But, uh, it's kind of a waste of our talent, dontcha think?
-And just like that, the Dragon Riders are back.
[motivational music plays]
[tense music playing]
-So, this is where the killer dragon lives.
[loud roar]
-Yep.
-At least we beat Buzzsaw to Jörmungandr.
He must've gotten lost in the swamps.
-Huh, or not. It looks like he was here first.
-Jun, can you decipher the runes?
-From memory? I'll try. -[dragons grumble]
I'll be okay.
* *
That one says "Jörmungandr," but I can't read that one.
-I'm pretty sure that one says,
"Do not open if ya ever plan on getting out of here alive."
-Look. The dragon symbol is above the gate.
Hiccup must've locked this dragon away,
all those years ago.
-How do you know for sure Hiccup did it?
-Who else could it have been, Eugene?
-I dunno. One of my awesome, distant relatives.
-[tongue pop] -[Webs grumbles]
[Thunder roars]
* *
-Oh, check it out. Thunder found something.
[mechanism creaking]
Strange how it fits Thunder's snout.
-It looks like some sort of bizarre locking mechanism?
-Another one of Hiccup's inventive mysteries.
I'm startin' to think he liked puzzles
as much as he liked dragons.
-I have no idea how to open it though.
-Yeah, that's a good thing.
-Well, lookie what we have here!
-[roars] -[Jun gasps]
Seems like you've found my Death Dragon.
Well, I was here first! So, back off!
-No way, Buzzsaw!
The World Serpent can't be released.
It would endanger all of dragonkind.
-Ha! I'm the one that endangers all of dragonkind! Me!
-You'll never get through that gate.
-And the lock makes no sense.
-Oh, I will get through that gate
and I won't need the lock to do it.
[blows whistle]
-[gasps] -[dragon roars]
* *
-The Sky Torcher.
-That's what you call him. I call him "my new helper."
I used a couple of Flame Spitters to hook him.
Nice catch, huh?
[grumbles]
-Tom, he's eyeballing us. -I see it.
-Get rid of those pests
and get me through that stupid gate!
[blows whistle]
[roars]
-I think that's our cue, Dragon Riders!
* *
-Go, go, go!
[zapping]
-Finish them!
[roars]
[grunts] Do what I say, Torchie! I'm the Dragon King!
[screeches, roars]
[all grunting]
-[roars] -TOM: Hey!
Leave them alone!
-[Thunder screeches] -[Tom yells]
[grunts]
-Tom!
TOM: Thunder!
-[growling] -[grunts, heavy breathing]
* *
[whimpering]
[creaking]
[grumbles, roars]
Thunder! No!
[squawks]
[majestic music playing]
-My Death Dragon.
[growls]
-[roars] -[Tom yells]
[grunts]
-[roars] -[Tom yells]
-C'mon, guys. Before the Sky Torcher comes back.
-It's loose... Jörmungandr is loose.
[roars]
[tense music playing]
