* Everybody needs a hero *

* Someone to save the day *

* We’ve got a wing to ride on *

* We are the bold and brave *

* Look to the sky and you will find us *

* High above the world *

* Racing through the sky *

* Together we can’t lose*

* We’re high above the world*

Well, Rocky, this maple syrup business

may not have been a great idea...[groans]

[wolves growling]

...but it sure was a super dangerous one!

Help!

Huh?

Ah yes! The Rescue Riders are here to save the day!

Wait, that’s not the Rescue Riders.

* Inflato-Force 2, Inflato-Force 2 *

-* It’s Zeppla! * -* And Sparkle! *

To the rescue!

Ahh! It’s too bright!

Rainbow fail!

[both scream]

Uh, I may have spoken too soon

about the whole "saving the day" thing.

[Sparkle and Zeppla whimper]

Aw, don’t feel bad.

Rocky and I were getting sorta lonely up here anyway.

Weren’t we?

[wolves growling]

Uh-oh.

[Dak] Would you like some more company?

[Elbone] Rescue Riders!

A sight for sore eyes!

And a sore foot!

And a sore, well... everything!

C’mon Rescue Riders, let’s do what we do best!

[wolves yelp]

That’s right, feel the heat!

And the spikes!

- Ah! - Uh!

[chuckles] And the comfortable in-flight seating!

[Sparkle and Zeppla laugh]

Now, thatwas a rescue!

Thanks for the help, Rescue Riders!

And other two dragons who really sorta-kinda tried to help!

Heh.

Sorry for all the trouble back there.

We haven’t done many missions yet.

She means, we haven’t done any yet.

Don’t get discouraged. You’re just getting started.

We have been working on some moves.

[both] Haa! Bzzzt! Chop!

Ka-pow!

- Oh... - Uhh!

But you’re still getting the hang of it?

Something like that?

Maybe you just need to take things a little slower, that’s all.

I agree. Better to be safe than sorry. [chomps]

Although I’m safe andsorry a lot of the time.

It’s very confusing.

You guys sound just like my mom.

She always says, "Stay safe, honey, fly slowly!

"Take lots of snacks with you on long flights!

’Cause you can get real, real cranky when you’re hungry."

Zeppla’s mom really didn’t want Zeppla forming a rescue team.

But she’ll come around.

Well, maybe, you should hold off

on going on any more actual missions

until you have more training.

Or more team members!

We’ve got seven, they only have two!

More team members?

Dak, I really think they need more training.

Or more team members, right?

Orjust the training.

Zeppla, what do you think?

Mmm... I definitely think we need...

- more... - [all] Yeah?

team members!

- Oh! - [laughs]

Rainbow-oh-oh-oh- my-goodness, yes!

I love, love, love, love this idea!

There’s only one problem.

Only one problem?

We don’t really know too many other dragons.

Oh, don’t worry about that. We know a ton.

We can put the word out and hold tryouts here at the Roost!

Or maybe they could try out more training.

[laughing]

OK, team tryouts it is.

You guys should definitely try out for the Inflato-Force!

They’re looking for new members who are quick and brave

and have awesome flying skills!

[all] Huh?

Uh, actually, flying skills not required.

...and team members who are willing to protect

both dragons and people.

Whoa!

Yeah! Just like that.

...dragons who aren’t afraid to take risks

and can handle themselves when things get-- whoa!--

super dangerous!

...and they want to find someone who’s really friendly

and loves being part of a team.

[all chittering]

At least they like the sound of it.

...but most importantly,

it’s a chance to be a part of something big,

exciting-- thrilling, really!

So what do you say?

Baaaa.

I don’t speak sheep, but I know that’s a yes!

I’ll see you first thing tomorrow morning for tryouts.

[bleating]

[Zeppla whimpering]

Maybe my mom was right.

Hey, it’ll be okay, Zeppla!

[Zeppla] Maybe I’m not ready to form my own rescue team yet!

[Winger] Take deep breaths so you can--

Stop doing that! Hmm.

But what if no one shows up for the tryouts?

Zeppla, I’m sure at least a few dragons will show up.

Only a few?

Uh, she means maybe lots of dragons will show.

Only one way to find out!

[Sparkle gasps]

[all exclaim]

[Sparkle] They’re all here for the tryouts?

Whoa! Color me surprised-- and excited!

[both laugh]

[both sing] * Inflato-Force, Inflato-Force*

* Inflato-Force is the best, of course!*

Wow, so many came!

[Summer] There’s Laburn and Cinda

and Whiffy

and the Flyhoppers!

And look! There’s even another Puffertail

Uh, that’s not just another Puffertail...

[laughing] Hi!

..that’s my mom!

Oh, no. This is not good!

Relax, Zeppla.

Maybe your Mom is just here to wish you luck with the tryouts.

But I didn’t tell her about the tryouts.

Don’t worry, honey! I’m coming!

It’s OK. Deep breath and you’ll de-puff in an instant.

In. Out. In. Out.

There we go.

Mom, I’m OK.

I just wasn’t expecting you to be here, that’s all.

Oh honey, I missed you, too!

Riders, this is my Mom, Zee Zee.

Oh please, you can all call me Mom.

Nice to meet you, Mom!

Wait, that felt weird.

I’m gonna call you... Mama Zee!

That works, too!

Can I talk to you for a second, honey?

So, what’s this about tryouts for your rescue team?

I thought we talked about this...

It doesn’t look like we’re listening, right?

No way.

Huh?

- [Summer] Burple! - Sorry.

But the Inflato-Force is really important to me, OK?

Being on a rescue team could be dangerous!

If you’re zooming around all the time,

I won’t be there to make sure

you’re staying safe and flying slowly

and eating and drinking enough.

You know you get cranky

when you don’t eat every few hours.

Mom, don’t worry.

I can take care of myself.

And I do not get cranky when I haven’t eaten!

[Zee Zee laughs]

[sighs]

OK, fine. Maybe a little cranky.

Zeppla’s gonna be fine, Mama Zee!

We keep each other safe out there!

Aaaah!

Oh, I did not know you could do that!

Mrs. Zee, I think what Zeppla’s trying to say

is that she’s got this, you know?

Got what?

- This. -"This" what?

This... this?

"This-this" what?

He means she can handle having a rescue team.

Exactly! So can I do it, Mom, please?

[sighs]

If it’s that important to you, honey, OK.

Really?! Oh, thank you Mom, thank you so much!

But then I’m trying out for the Inflato-Force too!

- What?! - What?!

[all] What?!

[Burple] This?

[Dak] Thanks, everyone, for coming!

Today we wanna see your best blasts...

Your fastest flying...

And most importantly, lots of smiles!

And positivity! Yay!

And with that, let the--

Wait! Before we start, I brought snacks.

Argh.

What? You can’t try out on an empty stomach.

She makes a very good point.

[munching]

OK.

Let the tryouts begin now!

First up are the Flyhoppers!

[all grunting]

Whoa! Red-iculous aim!

Right in the center. Now, that’s impressive!

[Burple munching loudly]

Huh? C’mon guys! That’s not funny!

Yes it is.

And tasty!

Wait, you guys can’t fly. How did you get here anyway?

We came by sea!

[all] Gludge?!

I heard there were tryouts today.

I wanna try out some salmon,

some sea bass, and some northern lobster,

and a fruit plate--

Uh, these are not those kinds of tryouts.

It’s for a rescue team that’s--

Not interested.

Don’t worry, guys. I’ll take you home later.

Next up are fantastic Firefuries Laburn and Cinda!

[both] Whoo-hoo!

- Ow! - [both laugh]

That... looks... so--

[Zee Zee] Unsafe!

Mom, I can’t judge the tryout if I can’t see the tryout.

[chuckling] Sorry. Is it my turn now?

Not yet, Mom.

Next up is our old friend the Ramblefang.

[chittering]

Wow! He seems pretty great!

Huh? [chitters]

Eh, on second thought...

[whimpers]

Just how old a friend is he?

We’ve known him since he was hatched... a couple of months ago.

He might be a little too young for this.

Next up are Zoomerangs Streak and Dart!

Hi guys. We are gonna show you our speed.

We are fast.

- So fast! - Better hold onto something!

[Aggro and Cutter] Whoa!

Are they coming back?

With those guys, it’s hard to tell.

Moving on!

Coming up next is Snoop!

Wait. Snoopis trying out?

It’s Snoop! From out of nowhere!

[Winger] Uh, Snoop,

you were supposed to be aiming for the targets.

I was. Heh.

Really?

It’s Snoop! Going back to nowhere!

Now he hits them?

Next up is Whiffy the Stinkwing!

[inhales, burps]

[all] Ew!

Ugh!

Wow. Well done, Whiff!

I think you mean... smelldone. [gags]

Thank you. I’ve been working on my aim. And my blast.

And my positive outlook. Hmm?

My turn yet, Honey?

Not yet, Mom.

I think we still need to see a few more... people?!

Wait for us! Every rescue team needs...

Riders!

[laughs] That tickles, Elbone!

Guys, this is a tryout for dragons.

- Riders will come later. - Much later.

Well, I guess it’s back to the maple syrup business for me.

Wait! Can I help with that, too?

I know where to find some huge maple trees!

Lead the way, Finny!

OK, I think that was the last one.

[chuckles]

Yes, Mom. Now it’s your turn.

OK, get ready for Mama Zee!

I have an excellent and incredibly safe fire blast.

[inhales]

That I only use in emergencies.

Now, I am a very speedy flier.

But it’s really windy out today,

so you’ll have to take my word for it.

Oh, oh, but oh, I can do this! Hoo hoo!

Whoop! Whoop-whoo! Hoo hoo!

Ooh. Oh! Oh! Oh...

Eh-heh.

Huh.

Remember, I also make great snacks!

Mama Zee is in!

[all] Huh?

Oh, right, not my decision.

But about those snacks...

Huh?

[chuckles]

Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll have an answer soon!

And until then at least we have snacks, right?

At least we did.

[laughing]

What did I ever do without you, Mama Zee?

OK, we have the results!

[Zeppla] First of all,

we wanna thank everyone so much for coming today.

[Sparkle] You can color us impressed by how well you all did!

[Dak] Sparkle and Zeppla wish they could give you all spots on the team,

but they’re looking for just the right combination of powers.

So, the new members of the Inflato-Force are...

[all] Laburn, Cinda, and Whiffy!

[both] Whoo-hooo!

[calmly] Whoo. I’ve never been more excited in my life.

And now, meet the Inflato-Force 5!

Rescuing, helping, and protecting dragons everywhere!

Wait. Rescuing, helping, andprotecting?

That sounds like a lot of work.

Yeah, I’m starting to think being on a rescue team

will cut into our super-fun life of notbeing on a rescue team.

Sorry, Zepp. We changed our minds!

Firefuries forever!

As long as there’s no responsibility involved...!

OK! Uh,

make that Inflato-Force 3!

Honey? What about me?

Mom, I’m sorry but you didn’t make the team.

But you just lost two members.

Come on, you don’t really wanna be on the Inflato-Force.

You just wanna keep an eye on me!

But I told you, I can take care of myself.

And I wanna be there to watch you take care of yourself!

Mom, I’ve got this!

And I’ll help make sure you "got this"!

There’s not gonna be a team without you, is there?

Uh... no.

Meet Inflato-Force 4! Heh.

Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho! Yay!

Anybody hungry?

I could eat.

Thank you so much for helping us put the team together.

Happy to help, Zeppla.

Now we just need our first mission!

Something really rainbow-big! Exciting!--

And not too dangerous!

Oooh, ooh! How about a rescue picnic?!

[laughing] Oh, that’d be fun, huh?

I am so in.

Or, maybe, this would be a good time for some training!

It’s not like a mission is just gonna show up out of nowhere, anyway.

Rescue Riders! Rescue Riders!

On the other hand...

Mrs. Borgomon? What’s wrong?

Have any of you seen my Finngard?

He said he was comin’ here earlier,

but I haven’t seen him since.

Oh, he we went off with Elbone

to help with his new maple syrup business.

Did I just say that Finngard went off with Elbone

to help him with a new business?

Yeah, when you say it out loud like that, it sure doesn’t sound good.

At all.

What are they sayin’?

They look worried.

I-I-I’m sure Finngard is fine.

We’ll have him home before you know it.

Yeah! We got this!

I don’t know what that means.

See?

But thanks for your help, Rescue Riders.

You can count on us.

I have an even better idea!

This can be the first official mission of the Inflato-Force 4!

- Mom! - Oh, heh heh, right.

First official mission of the Inflato-Force 4!

We’re really going on an actual rescue?

[Zeppla and Sparkle] * Inflato-Force 4! * * Inflato-Force 4! *

* Ready for adventures, danger and so much more! *

[hums along] Uh, what they sang.

That’s a really catchy theme song, honey,

but we’re doing this after the rescue picnic, right?

Maybe you guys should let us handle this mission.

And you could stay here

and do some, pfft, I don’t know.... training?

I completely agree with Zinger!

Ahem. Winger.

Mom!

Yeah, who knows what kind of trouble

Elbone and Finngard got into together?

Mm-hmm! Zak makes a great point.

- Dak. - So, Zeppla, what do you think?

Stay here and train or--

[Zeppla] Inflato-Force to the rescue!

Wait honey! Don’t get too far ahead of meeeeee!

Or you guys could just go.

OK, Dak, we’re following them,

- right? - Oh yeah.

We’ll stay here in case Finngard and Elbone come back on their own.

Sounds like a plan!

Wait, so you’re going to rescue the rescuers?

Eh. That’s new.

[Dak] * Inflato-Force 4! Inflato-Force 4! *

[hums melody]

* And so much more! *

What? Mama Zee was right, it’s really catchy!

[Sparkle and Zeppla] * Danger and so much more! *

Aw, great! Now it’s stuck in my head!

No, Wing, I think that’s them!

* Ready for adventures *

* Danger and so much more! *

* Not that danger’s *

* Necessarily what We’re looking for *

[Whiffy] * Not that danger’s *

*Necessarily what we’re looking for *

[Zak grunting] So far, so good.

Finngard! Elbone!

And/or Elbone’s rock!

Where are you?

I can check that for you, honey!

[groans]

Oh! I’ve got that one too!

Don’t worry!

[sighs]

Why don’t we stop for a break? A snack break!

Uh, where did you even have those?

Mom secret!

Works for me. [chews loudly]

Mom, we don’t need to take a snack break,

and I can check the trees on my own!

We’re just in the woods.

There’s nothing dangerous out here!

- [wolves growling] - Aaah!

Ohh! Well, there is now!

Watch out, honey! I’m comin’ for ya!

[panicky yelling]

Zee Zee, look out!

Ohh! Ohh! Oh.

Mom, get up!

- [all gasp] - [tree crackling]

[Zak grunting]

[Zee Zee] Ohhh!

[all grunting]

I have never liked maple trees.

[wolves growling]

[Zeppla] Oh, no! Oh, no!

[snarling]

What are we going to do? We never trained for this!

We never trained at all!

Zeppla, listen to me.

You don’t need more members or more training or even...

another verse of that really catchy theme song you guys have.

All you need right now is you.

And your friends. That’s all a rescue team is.

Zeppla, you can do this rescue!

You’ve got this!

I got this?

I do?

Wait. Do I?

Yes! Yes, I do!

Whew. Glad that ended up there.

Okay, Inflato-Force, it’s time to show those wolves,

and ourselves, that we’ve got this!

Sparkle, try to cut through that tree trunk!

And Whiffy, show those wolves what you smell like!

Rainbow-hai-yahh!

- [Whiffy exhales] - [wolves yelping]

Smell ya later!

- [whimpers] - [growling]

- [both gasp] - Hey!

No one growls at mymom like that!

- [roars] - [wolves yelping]

Oh, that’s my baby girl up there!

I never knew she was so good at this!

Neither did we.

[Zeppla] How’s it coming, Spark?

These branches are tough!

- [growling] - [gasps] Uhh!

Oh, no!

[snarling, barking]

Wait! Mom, do you have any more of those snacks on you?

I always have more snacks!

Good. ’Cause we need a distraction!

You mean a dis-snack-tion?

[barking]

Where do those keep coming from?!

Zeppla, what are you doing?!

We’re gonna need more puff power

if we’re gonna get outta here!

On one, two... three!

- [all grunting] - [wolves growling]

Rainbow-rific!

[wolf whimpers]

Bahh!

[whimpering]

C’mon, let’s help them outta there.

Way ahead of you there, Zinger!

Mom!

Honey, that was...

- Too close? - Too dangerous?

Too smelly?

No. Amazing!

You were like, "Bzzap! Chop!

Hai-yah!" And a "Ka-pow!"

And I couldn’t have done it without you, Mom.

Actually, yes, you could, honey.

You don’t need me looking over your shoulder.

- I don’t? - No.

Today I realized that you got this.

You really can take care of yourself.

And I know the Inflato-Force 3...

is gonna do great things.

Just as long as you take snacks with you

and drink enough water, and make sure you don’t forget--

Thank you, thank you!

I will, Mom! I promise!

And if we ever need more puff power,

you’ll be the first to know!

I’d love that, honey.

I’m glad I was here for that rescue.

But I’m even happier I was here for that.

[Winger sniffling]

What? It’s lotta pollen out here, that’s all.

Wait! We still haven’t found Elbone and Finngard!

Oh, hey, Rescue Riders!

If you hadn’t made so much noise, we would’ve slept all day.

[yawns] We took a break from the maple syrup business

and fell asleep right over there.

It’s been a lazy day.

Who! Who brought the snacks?

[munching]

Hm. Needs syrup.

[all] Huh?

[theme music playing]
