-Come on. We've almost chased them back to the Fire Realm.
-Again...
-Yeah, well, they can keep trying and trying,
but we're always going to send them packing.
-When are these Flame Throwers gonna take a hint?
Not welcome here.
[shrieks]
-We lost one! -Stay on the other two.
-They're trying to divide us. -And leave one behind?
No way, Tommy. I'll head him off at the flank.
-Eugene! -And there goes another pest.
-Get ready to eat some web, flame-o!
See what I did there, Webs? It's like-- Ah!
[screaming]
[screeches]
Oh. Hey, flamies. Uh, you don't wanna do that
'cause we were just playing. [laughs] Right, Webs?
[growling]
Guess they don't like games.
-[groans] Come on, Wu and Wei.
[Jun grunts]
[Jun groaning]
[feet squeaking]
-O-h, you can do this! [growls]
[shrieking]
-Nice job, Jun.
-The remaining Throwers are buggin' out.
-And they thought they stood a chance against us.
-[Tom sighs] -[Thunder growls]
-Eugene! That was not cool. -What do you mean?
They're gone, right? My plan worked.
-You call thata plan? - Yeah. You know,
flush out the other one that... we didn't know was there.
-[laughs, pops lips] -You're just lucky
that Jun, Wu and Wei saved your butt.
[snarling, growling]
[quiet grumbling]
-You two okay?
I think they might have hurt themselves.
-You sure?
They've run out of mist breath before.
[coughs, grumbles]
-I know, but not like this. They're coughing.
-[snorting] -What do you think, D?
* *
-I'm sure they'll be fine.
Probably just a sprain or something.
[grumbles]
Let's get back to the lair, get them some rest.
[weak snarl]
[grumbling]
[weak growl]
-I wonder if I'm related to any of these people.
-You kind of look like him,
but not as smart.
-What? My nose doesn't do that. Does it?
-Or maybe him.
What? You guys have similar hair.
-[sighs] I wish I could read their names.
[groans] This stuff's all written in runes.
-[laughs] You just got the book, and it's already ruined.
Take care of your stuff, bro. [growls]
-Jun! Can you read runes?
-[soft groan] -Jun?
-Guys, they aren't getting better!
Usually, when Wu and Wei run out of mist,
they just need to refuel with some water.
They've been drinking from the lagoon since we got back, but...
[coughs]
-Let me take a closer look.
* *
[quiet grumbling]
Hmm.
I don't hear anything strange.
Judging from their coughing,
my best guess is still that they overloaded themselves.
Lost their breath.
-Like the Dragon King.
-Uh-oh! Nerd alert. Here she goes.
-[sighs] Eugene...
-What do you mean "Dragon King"?
-[sighs] It's a silly story our dad used to tell us
about some jerky brother.
I don't know what he was trying to say.
-I can't imagine.
-It's a Chinese myth, Eugene, not a silly story.
The Dragon King had four dragon sons
who caused so much trouble and got him so upset
that he lost his magical breath.
-Myth, silly story. What's the diff?
-I'm not saying it's real. Just that...
maybe there's something to be learned from it.
Myths and stories come from somewhere, Eugene.
There's always a truth if you know where to look.
-Whatever.
-[snarls] -[grunts, gasps]
-Whoa! -Jun! What's going on?
-I don't know! -I don't think Jun
should be taking Wu and Wei out in their condition.
-Either way, come on!
Before we lose them!
* *
JUN: [gasps] What are you doing?
-[straining, panting] -Jun!
Hold up!
-I'm trying! [straining] It's Wu and Wei.
They're leading us somewhere.
-I think we need to lead them back.
They should be resting.
-[grunts] I can't-- Ah!
-Five minutes ago, they were too sick to blast.
Now you can't control them?
-Do we have any idea where they're going?
-If I had to guess...
* *
D'ANGELO: Whoa. That thing is huge.
-Why would they lead us there?
-I'm not sure, but in the Dragon King myth,
one of the king's sons went west
and climbed the highest mountain he could
-to ask the gods for help. -Oh, come on, Jun.
That story was supposed to put us both to sleep,
and it worked.
Now, you think Wu and Wei are acting it out?
-I don't think that.
But, maybe whatever they need to heal
is on that mountain.
-Before we head to the mountain,
there's something I think you should see.
Not sure how the myth ends, but according to this book,
whatever's on the mountain isn't good.
-[growling] -Whoa.
But Wu Wei seem to think what they need is up there.
I haveto help them find it.
-Jun! Wait!
EUGENE: Welcome to my life.
* *
[Jun panting]
[wind blowing]
-Don't worry, you two. I'll help you get there.
[quiet purring]
Just like the son of the Dragon King
got to the top of that mountain
with the help of the storm gods.
-Guys, Wu and Wei still don't look good.
-Jun, slow down. What's your plan?
-My plan is to do whatever it takes to help my dragon.
I would think you would understand that.
-Wh-- [sighs]
-So, we're climbing the mountain.
Great. Is there maybe a smaller mountain around here
-that works, too? -[scoffs] Climb?
My days of manual labor are longbehind me
'cause they never started. [laughs]
* *
You losers can walk. I'm taking the elevator.
See you at the top. [clicks tongue]
-[wind gusting] -[screaming]
[grunts]
[groaning]
[whimpering]
-You should really put some ice on that.
Oh wait. You're already onice.
[laughing]
-Thanks for the demonstration, Eugene.
See? The book warned us about those winds.
-File that under things that would have been valuable
two minutes ago!
-Whoever wrote this book,
they didn't just make this stuff up.
It's not just some myth.
-Some myth?
Myths can provide answers to the unanswerable, Tom.
They're compasses to meaning.
It's not about whether the myth is real or not!
I'm trying to understand my dragons.
-Well, to me, it's about keeping us safe
and what's best for the team.
-Wu and Wei are part of the team.
-No, th-that's not what I mean, Jun--
-Uh, Jun?
-[gasps] -[weak growling]
-Wu, Wei, wait up!
I'm coming!
-Not judging,
but your dragons chose the slipperiest part.
-Well, the winds aren't as strong over here.
* *
-She has a point. It shields us from the winds.
-Hm. It's almost like...
Oh [scoffs], I don't know.
-Like they knew. -[snarls]
-I'm not saying they don't know. I'm just saying wedon't know.
I just wanna be sure it's safe.
[groaning]
-Well, looks like we're climbing
the world's biggest snow cone after all.

[snarls, coughs]
-No!
-No. No, no, no, no! -[snarling]
[gasps]
[loud sneeze]
Ah!
-[both yelling] -[dragons growling]
-Jun! -Ah!
[screaming]
[all screaming]
EUGENE: Gotcha! Ahem!
I think someone deserves a little bit of credit
for saving your sorry butts.
-Thank you, Webmaster.
EUGENE: [scoffs] Typical.

[wind blowing]
[Thunder groaning]
-[Tom sighs] -[Feather shrieks]
[Alex grunting]
-Oh!
Oh, sweet, sweet horizontal ground.
I'll never take you for granted again.
[dragons growling]
[grunting, gasps]
[D'Angelo groaning]
[snarling]
-[sighs] Are we there yet?
-Uh... halfway... ish.
-Does that book recommend a good place to vomit?
-You're doing okay? -[growls]
-Still wanna keep going? -[both growl]
We'll get there.
-Speaking of getting there,
what's next in your depressing book of doom, Kullersen?
-This.
-Smoking skull. -JUN: Hm...
I don't see any skulls, do you?
Guess your book doesn't know everything.
[grunts]
-Funny coming from someone who looks for answers
in a thousand-year-old myth.
-Um, maybe I'm forgetting,
but isn't that book also a thousand years old?
-No. Well, yeah, probably.
But still! I'm just being cautious.
-Guess there's a first time for everything.
-It's either Jun's snooze-fest myth
or Tom and the book he found in a hole.
Ladies and gentledragons,
our fearless leaders!
D'ANGELO: Guys?
Why is the skull in the dragon book...
-moving? -Moving?
[whooshing]
[distorted]: Weird...
-[slow, deep voice]: Tom...
why does your voice sound like that?
-[slow, deep voice]: Like what?
-[slow, deep voice]: You sound like a troll.
And I sound like a troll.
Am I a troll?
-What's going on? -Look...
* *
-Poison gas?
-We gotta get outta here. -Run...
-[slow, deep voice]: I am running.
-But Eugene wasn't running.
He was lying on his face.
-It feels like my hair is singing...
Can you hear that?
TOM: Thunder...
[dragons growl]
Do something...
* *
-[quiet growl] -[Tom groaning]
[happy growl]
-[slurping] -[grunts] Hey!
[coughs] I'm okay, pal. I'm okay.
* *
-[Alex groaning] -[Feathers whining]
[D'Angelo groaning]
[screaming, grunts]
-[laughs] -JUN: Guys!
Get up! We're here!
-Where is here?
-The mountain's peak.
The legend spoke of the Dragon King's son,
Ao Run, reaching the top of the mountain.
There's got to be something up here
that can help Wu and Wei.
-Okay, like what?
-Well, in the legend, there's a lake. And this...
Well, um, we're pretty far from any lakes, but--
-Jun! I care about Wu and Wei, too,
but enough is enough.
We were lucky to survive back there,
and Wu and Wei are fading fast.
-He's right. I don't think they can take much more of this.
-We tried your way, Jun, but there's nothing here.
I think it's time to turn back.
-We're so close. -Close to what?! Dying?!
Why are you so dead-set on believing that story?
* *
-You think you're the first to tell me
I'm crazy for believing in myths?
I know they may not be true,
but the stories exist for a reason.
They helped guide my grandmother and my father.
They told me these stories as a child,
so I would be guided by them, too.
Myths are a part of who I am,
and I can't just ignore that.
So you can all go back down the mountain if you want.
I won't blame you.
But I'm choosing to trust their guidance.
To trust my dragon.
To trust my heart.
* *
-If you really believe, we're behind you.
-Okay. Fine. Have a sappy moment.
But before all common sense goes out the window,
where is your dragon going now?
* *
[gasps]
[weak roaring]
[rumbling, crackling]
-Uh, what's happening?
Are theydoing that?
-Feels like the whole mountain's coming down.
-[crackling continues] -Ah! [grunts]
You guys? Hate to be the one to point this out.
This isn't just a mountain. It's a volcano!
[rumbling]
-Actually, since it's covered in snow,
that makes it a "snowcano"! [laughs]
Ha-- Whoa! [grunts]
-Jun? Does your myth include snowcanos?
-No, but it does include...
[loud roar]
...a giant King Dragon!
[roaring]
[growling]
-I hate when Jun's right.
-[gasping] Th-there's nothing in here about...
[wind blowing] [gasps]
* *
Oh no.
Jun. We gotta get Wu and Wei outta here.
-Wait! No! -[snarling]
I think it'll be okay. Look at them.
[growling]
Amazing!
It's like the Dragon King stepped right out of the myth.
-Sorry. A-are you seeing what I'm seeing in this image?
It's throwing dragons to their death.
-What if it's not?
-What if you're wrong?
-But, look at Wu and Wei!
They're calm.
-[quiet snarling] -They must know something.
[grumbling]
-No! -Wu! Wei!
[grunts]
* *
-It's gonna throw Wu and Wei into the snowcano.
We gotta stop it. Riders, let's move!
[growls]
-This can't be right. -Jun! Come on!
-[grunts] -[Thunder growls]
-Form up, and let him have it! -[growls]
Watch your aim! We don't wanna hit Wu and Wei.

[grunts]

Let 'em go!
-[Thunder roars] -[growls]
[weak snarling]
-[sighs] Come on, you two! Get outta there!
-They're too weak to fight.
[weak snarling]
-What are they doing?
-Wu! Wei! Come on!
[weak growling]
* *
[grumbling]
-They're sick and scared. My book of dragons says--
-I know what it says, but the Vikings
weren't the only people who knew about dragons.
[growling]
-Leave my sister's dragon alone! Get him, Webs!
-Eugene, stop!
[obnoxious laughter]
[growls]
-[laughter stops] Huh?
[inhaling]
[roars]
[crackling]
[rumbling]
-Evasive maneuvers!
[gasping, whimpering]
-[grunting] Whoa!
-Tom, look!
It's protecting them!
I knew it! Wu and Wei came here for a reason.
* *
-Guys! New plan!
We have to help the Titan Wing!
-Uh, that thing tried to kill me!
-Can you blame him?
JUN: And now they're protecting Wu and Wei!
-We're with you, Jun. Come on, girl!
-Nothing touches these dragons. Got it, team?
-Not one flake.
[fizzling]
[dragons growling, roaring]
[snarls]
[whistling]
-[cheering] -TOM: Skies are clear!
Good work, pal.
Now let's hope we did the right thing.
[quiet growl]
-You were right.
That dragon is a bit like
the Dragon King from Dad's story.
But I was right, too! Per ushe. [pops tongue]
[growling, blasting]
* *
-Whoa.
-Should we? -Lead the way.
[soft growl]
-[bubbling] -[Jun gasps]
[laughing]
-You two look good as new! -[growling]
[quiet roar]
-All back to normal.
[snarls]
-Hey! Wu, Wei.
Could you two maybe, oh, I don't know,
put in a good word for me and Webs?
Those guys look a little...
-[snarls] -Okay, never mind.
-[distant growl] -[gasps]
* *
[growling, roar]
[quiet snarls]
-[soft squeak] -D'ANGELO: Whoa...
-It's a whole family. -This must be their home.
[growling]
-Guess the Vikings didn't know everything, huh?
-Guess not. Good thing Wu and Wei have you,
and you always have faith in them.
-Yeah, well, your book wasn't exactly wrong.
Just maybe once we translate it, we'll have more context.
-Yeah, man. Plus, we gotta add to it.
Build on top of those who came before us.
-Yeah. Good point.
-[growls] -What-- Whoa!
[laughing]
[sad growl]
* *
[sad grumble]
[curious growl]
[curious grumble]
-Yeah. I gotta work on my drawing skills, right?
[Jun laughing]
-[laughing] Aw!
[grumbling]
-I know, pal. I know.
Hopefully, in the end, we can all figure out where we come from.
