-Shoot. What was I looking for?

Oh! Yes.

BUZZSAW: Why are you wasting your time on rock formations

when we should be looking for my Death Dragon?!

-You aren't the only one looking for something.

I suspect there is an unprecedented deposit

of Dragonsite in one of those realms.

But, such an expedition requires preparation.

Only fools rush in, Buzzsaw.

You're not a fool, are you?

-[Buzzsaw growls] -Great news, Dr. Sledkin!

I found-- [yelps]

[yells] The grown-ups are talking!

-Sorry. [nervous laugh] -[Buzzsaw grumbles]

Sorry, Mr. Saw.

Just stand over here. [nervous laugh]

-Hey! -[echoing bang]

Translate this book for me like you promised,

and show me to my Death Dragon, or stay out of my realms!

-You're in no position to make demands.

Now, if you don't mind, I have a lab to assemble.

-If little Miss Smarty Pants

won't help me find my Death Dragon,

I guess I'll just have to locate it myself.

Boys, saddle up.

[music crescendos]

ALEX: Alright, Wendy.

Knight to E5.

-[beep] -WENDY [on computer]: Excellent move, Alex.

However, you've left yourself open

for me to capture your knight.

-Well played. Okay then.

-Pawn to-- -[beeping]

-[knocking] -[Feathers purrs]

* *

-Hey... Sorry to bug you,

but Hobs got some fiery slobber

on one of the machines in the Dragon Hospital.

We could really use your tech-spertise. [awkward laugh]

-[sighs] -[Feathers purrs]

-[beeping] -Sorry, Wendy. Be back soon.

D'Angelo's medical equipment might last longer

if his patients weren't so flame-prone.

Okay, Wendy,

-where did we leave off? -[beeping]

WENDY: I believe you were about to make a feeble attempt

-to regain the board. -You know,

I may have programmed you to be a littletoo sassy.

-JUN: Oh, there you are! -[groans]

-We almost didn't check in here. -[Feathers purrs]

Usually, you avoid the visitor's center.

Too many visitors.

-Case in point.

-We've been trying to research Norse mythology all morning,

but Rakke's internet keeps dropping out.

Think you could do some techie stuff

-and give the signal a boost? -[purrs]

-Oh, sure. Not like I've got anything else to do.

[squawks]

* *

-[beep] -WENDY: It's still your move, Alex.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah. If we could just get out--

-Who you talking to? -[yelps]

-I was talking to Wendy, my tablet's AI system.

We're actually in the middle of--

-I'll be out of your hair in a sec.

Speaking of hair, I read about this secret filter on my phone

that will make me look like a gorgeous, hairy mountain man.

But my lame-o phone's not working. [blows raspberry]

Think Cinadroid123 could hook me up?

-You mean Cinnabot538?

-Yeah, yeah, her, too.

[growls]

* *

-[sighs] Alone at last.

Okay, Wendy, finally.

-Pawn to... -[Tom and Jun laughing]

-He didn't realize it was electric! So, Eddie--

Oh! Hey, Alex.

-[muttering]: Every time I wanna play my chess...

-We were coming to visit the dragons.

-[whispers]: But we can be quiet.

[both giggle]

[purrs]

[sighs]

JUN: [giggling] Cut it out, you two!

-[snarls] -[laughter]

-[groans] -WENDY: Sorry, Alex.

-Did you say something? -Uh...

D'ANGELO: I don't treat humans, Eugene.

You should really have that looked at by a doctor.

-Eh, it's probably fine.

-Eugene?

* *

-What? I'm here for my weekly free swim with Webs.

I ran into D, who's, uh... What are you doing again?

-Refilling the feeding station.

* *

-Well. Look at us. -[squawks]

All in the lair. At the same time.

-Haven't done this in a while. -Yep.

So glad you all showed up.

-This feels weird.

And now it feels weirder.

Like how something feels weird,

and then you call it out, and suddenly you're all, like,

-super aware of how weird it is. -[Alex groans]

Now, the word "weird" sounds weird.

Weird...

-Maybe it doesn't have to be weird.

Since we're all here,

we can talk about getting the book back.

I have some ideas I've been kicking around. Alex,

-can I borrow your tablet? -Sorry. Now isn't a good time.

-"Isn't a good time"?

What could be more important than the Book of Dragons?

-I'm in the middle of a game with Wendy.

Besides, we aren't Dragon Riders anymore.

The book is a Rider's problem.

-Seriously? Do you honestly care

more about your fake tablet friend

-than your actualfriends? -WENDY: I can hear you, Tim.

-And I have a name. -First of all,

it's not just a fake tablet friend.

Wendy is an incredibly sophisticated AI system.

And maybe I wouldn't have to rely on her so much

if you guys didn't use me as your own personal IT department!

-Oh, come on, Alex. You're being dramatic.

-Yeah. You weren't doing anything important.

-Dramatic? And my time isn't important?!

Let's go, Wendy. We'll find somewhere else to play.

[Feathers squawks, purrs]

-Hold on, Alex. Let's talk this out.

I-I'm sure they didn't mean that.

-Us?

-She's the one avoiding her friends

when all we want is--

-Just leave me alone!

[growls]

-[gasps, strains] -Thunder, wait!

-[groans, gasps] -[Thunder growls]

* *

-Wendy! -[dragons roar]

-[growling, roaring] -No! No, stop!

[grunts, gasps]

-[fizzling] -[Alex gasps]

Wendy...

* *

[growls, grunts]

[panting] Get us outta here.

-[squawks] -Alex, wait!

[squawks]

-Well, I hope you're all happy with yourselves.

-[Alex sniffling] -[Feathers purring]

-At least down here, nobody can interrupt our games

or break our things

or short circuit our best friend.

-[squawks] -Best virtual friend, I mean.

-[purrs] -[distant growl]

[sighs] Are you kidding?

You guys, I wanna be left alone! [gasps]

-[growls] -[menacing laugh]

[growling, squawking]

-[gasps] -[menacing laughter]

-How about this?

Looks like a widdle-bitty Dwagon Wider

strayed from her pack.

I think she better come with us.

* *

[sad growling]

-[sighs] I know, pal. I know it wasn't your fault.

-It's not your fault either, Tom.

EUGENE: Yeah, Kullersen.

It's not your fault you took Gonzo for granted

and then insulted her and blew up Donnie.

-Wendy.

-Yeah, that's what I said. Donnie.

-We all took Alex for granted.

We should have been more appreciative of her help,

and we should have listened when she asked for space.

-None of us were very good friends, were we?

-But I think we can all agree

that Kullersen was the worst. Am I right?

-Either way, Alex's tablet is still fried.

-Wait a minute. Let's just un-fry it.

If we can repair Wendy, we'll fix the problem!

-Yeah. Yeah, we can do this.

Let's just bring Wendy back to artificial life!

-Okay, so do any of you dweebs actually know how to do that?

-[squawks] -ALEX: Let her go!

-[growling] -Feathers!

-[gasps, yelps] -[roars]

-You're not much of a dragon twerp without your dragon,

are you, twerp?

[whimpers]

Alright, now, where is it? That's north...

* *

Winston, is Dragon north different from human north?

-Nah, north is north, but that's east.

-Who asked you?!

-Are you looking for something?

-None of your vegan beeswax, missy.

-Uh, boss? I don't think beeswax is vegan.

-Of course, it is. Insects don't count as animals.

The point is, I'm not saying anything

to a no-good Dragon Rider.

-[scoffs] Good thing I'm not a Dragon Rider.

-Don't play dumb with me.

I recognize your big bird dragon and your funny hair ties.

-I mean, I wasa Dragon Rider,

but I don't need them anymore.

Feathers and I came down here to get away from those jerks.

-Yeah, right. You think I was born yesterday?

[sighs]

If I ever meet the doofus who wrote this book...

-Oh! That'swhat you're looking for.

Hm. You're either really stupid or really brave.

-You know where this is?

I mean, not that I care what you know.

-Wait, do you need me to take you there?

-I'm the King of Dragons.

-I can find it myself. -Obviously.

You know waymore about these worlds than I do.

-Exactly. Ford! Winston! Keep an eye on her.

I'm gonna go find this place myself.

[growling, snarling]

[gasps]

-Hey, Pop? Quick question.

Do you know anything about repairing,

oh, I don't know,

a fried tablet?

-Huh. I guess that depends on what happened to it.

You didn't let a virus get into your system, did you?

[laughs] I'm sure no son of mine would use the same password

across platforms. Cybersecurity--

-You know what? I'm all good. It'll probably fix itself.

-Most problems don't fix themselves, D.

-Okay, so asking D'Angelo's dad

might not be as helpful as we thought.

-I totally got this. Watch and learn, dweeb-os.

All we have to do is...

turn it off and turn it back on. Boom.

-[groans] The tablet won't turn on, genius.

If we couldturn it on, we wouldn't be in this mess.

-That' yourpart of the problem. At least I'm helping.

-I think we're gonna need some real help.

* *

[squawking]

-[hammering] -[dragons growl]

[panting, groaning]

-Let me guess.

Three big ugly dragons

with crystals on their noses?

Yeah. I coulda told you about them.

-You knew about those beasts?

-That's what I've been trying to tell you.

But, hey, don't trust me. It's your head.

-Why should I trust you?

I've seen you in action with your friends!

-I don't have friends anymore!

All I care about is me and my dragon.

So,

how about I help you find what you'relooking for?

And in return, you let Feathers and me go.

* *

-Ford? Winston? You sure that dragon's secure?

-[squawks] -Ah!

-Uh, the screaming part definitely is.

-Keep a close eye on it.

I'm graciously going to allow this turncoat to guide me,

but I don't want any funny business along the way.

If everything goes smoothly, we'll come back,

and I'll think about showing mercy.

-Wow. That sounds incredibly reasonable

and not at all unhinged.

[grunts]

[restrained squawking]

* *

CARLA: Could be the battery.

-Think you can fix it?

I'd really like to have Wendy back

when we apologize to Alex.

-Oh, I'm certain Alex will be incredibly grateful.

-[beeping] -And... there.

WENDY: Hello, Mrs. and Mrs. Gonzalez.

It's good to be back.

-[beeping] -Restarting all applications.

Hey! Good as new.

-Thank you so much.

[beeping]

WENDY: Saddle tracker is online.

-Feathers' tracker.

-But that's in the Crystal Realm.

-It's against Rider Code to go into the realms alone!

I mean, not that we're Riders anymore, but still.

-Let's go find her and give her back her tablet.

-Yeah. Then, she won't be breaking D'Angelo's lame-o rules

'cause she won't be alone.

-Weirdly, he's not wrong.

* *

-What is this place?

Sure seems like the perfect spot for an ambush.

-It's a crystal maze.

And you know what's at the center of everymaze?

-The finish line? -No...

-My Death Dragon! I knew it.

Huh? Hm...

Hey, isn't this one of your techie blinky things?

Are you trying to trick me?

[grunts]

Huh?

[zap]

-[whispers]: Don't want those jerky

Dragon Riders tracking us, do we?

Wanna do the honors?

[laughing]

-Hyah!

-Feels good, doesn't it?

-I like this game! Maybe I was wrong about you.

Hyah! Hyah! [laughing]

Ooh! [laughing]

I got to admit, you surprised me there!

You've got a better head on your shoulders than your whiny pals.

-Former [grunts] pals.

And you didn't do too bad yourself.

I like your form.

-My mother always said

I have a gift for wanton destruction.

Now, which way do we go from here?

-Hm. I can't be sure.

I need to look at the book again.

You stilldon't trust me?

-You have gotten me this far.

Alright. You can look at it, but not without me.

-Of course. -You know,

I never considered what it would be like

to have an actual partner on my quest.

That slick scientist crone is so needy.

Always talking about her dumb green rocks.

But you... You've got potential.

-Lucky me.

[music crescendos]

[squawking, struggling]

-You think we tied that rope tight enough?

-Eh, you worry too much.

[Feathers whines]

-Oh, no. Where's Alex?

-No sign of Buzzsaw and Jack either.

-Let's get Feathers to safety. Then, we find Alex.

-Okay, but how do we get Feathers out

without having to fight those poor Gronckles?

-I have an idea.

[confused growl]

-Bees might be insects, but insects are animals.

-Just let it go, Winston.

-No, no. They have legs and brains.

They haveto be animals.

-[Ford groans] -[Feathers chirps]

* *

[growls]

[energetic dance music]

[growling]

Hey! The lightning bird!

FORD: Grab him!

-Come here, Sparky! -[both panting]

[squawks]

D'ANGELO: Go! Go! Get outta here! Please!

JUN: Be free! Be free! Fly away! Go! Go!

WINSTON: He's all ours. [laughs]

BOTH: Huh?

-See you next time, fellas!

-Quick! Back to the dragons!

-Wait a minute. Where'd they...

FORD: Oh... Not again...

[squawks]

-It's okay. It's okay.

You're safe now, Feathers.

-But where's Alex? -[squawks]

-Check the sensors. -[beep]

-Looks like they're offline. -JUN: Offline? Let me see.

* *

It's like a perfect line of broken sensors.

-Maybe she's leaving us a trail? [laughs] Go, Gonzo!

-I don't know. Maybe. Come on!

-I have truly outdone myself today.

I left the rock scientist behind,

captured one of my arch nemeses,

and soon we'll find my Death Dragon

entirelyon my own.

-On your own?

-You may have helped me get here,

but it was my brilliant idea to bring you along.

I'm a tactical genius.

-Can't argue with that logic.

Your prize should be... just around there.

BUZZSAW: Think about it.

A lesser mind would have thrown you to the wolves

and turned your dragon into a coat.

But I saw promise. I saw opportunity. I saw--

-[dragon roars] -Did you hear that?

-[both gasp] -[roars]

It's an ambush!

-Let her go, Buzzsaw! -[snarling]

[Buzzsaw growls]

[dragon roars]

[both grunt]

-I was right all along!

-You betrayed me! -Betrayed you?

-I just saved your butt! -[grunts]

-I knew you couldn't be trusted!

You're going to pay, along with your precious Riders!

[yelps]

[roars]

-[panting] Feathers!

[squawking]

* *

[grunts]

Feathers, stop!

[squawks]

-TOM: Alex? -JUN: What are you doing?

Let's go!

-I told you. I'm not a Dragon Rider anymore.

-[confused gasps] -I only care about me!

-Sing 'em to sleep, Feathers! -[sad growl]

I said fire!

[shrieks]

[Riders scream, grunt]

[dramatic music]

-Again! -[shrieks]

[groans, gasps]

[rumbling]

[shattering]

-Whoa... -Come on!

[music crescendos]

[panting]

-What just happened? -Gonzo went gonzo.

-[groans] That sonic blast sure packs a punch.

-[sad growl] -Is everyone okay?

-I never thought Alex would turn on us.

-Me neither. -But joining Buzzsaw?

Is that even possible?

* *

-Ha! You used their blind trust against them!

I wish I'd thought of that. I mean, don't get me wrong.

I had my doubts,

but you've proven to be one heck of an ally.

-Thanks.

-In fact,

the way you saved us,

you might even be my... friend.

* *

[coughs] Okay, back to business.

-[sighs] Your Death Dragon is right through there.

[Buzzsaw laughing quietly]

He's all yours.

Be careful with that.

The Death Dragon is pretty ferocious,

and that book is over a thousand years old.

-Good thinking. Here.

You hold on to it.

Friend.

-Now, Death Dragon,

prepare to meet your king.

[panting]

You sure this is right?

[breeze blowing]

Hello?

Friend?

* *

[growls]

-[panting] I'm sorry I made you do that, girl,

but I needed more time to get the book! Ah!

-I trusted you! Confided in you!

-And you once poisoned my dragon!

-I'd never be friends with you! -[growls]

-Jack!

[roars]

[whimpers]

[roars]

[confused growl]

[coughing]

-What the? Where's this coming from?

[Alex whimpers]

[music crescendos]

-[gasps] You came back!

-You got the book! How? You're--

-Yeah, I know. Really impressive.

Uh, can we praise me later, please?

-Right. Riders, move!

* *

-[gasps] -This way!

[snaps]

[grunts]

[shrieks]

[gasps, screams]

[groaning]

[growls]

-Where'd they go?

[grunts, yelps]

Wait. Where'd wego?

* *

[frustrated shout]

[microscope clicking]

[Buzzsaw groaning]

SLEDKIN: Do I even wanna know?

-Don't be smart with me, lady!

I just spent hours trying to find my way out of a funhouse

made of tacky crystals!

-Crystals? -I'll have you know,

I successfully captured one of the middle schoolers

and forced her to show me the way to my Death Dragon,

without your help.

-And? Where's the dragon? -[sighs] It, well,

wasn't there.

[laughs]

They ambushed me because I was alone!

Your fault! We gave them a real fight,

but they got the book.

-They what?

-They got the book, okay?

And now, we'll never find my Death Dragon

or your useless rocks!

-Well, then I suppose it's a good thing

I'm smarter than you.

Because, thanks to me,

we have everything we need right here.

-The book?!

Maybe I like you after all.

But we're definitely not friends.

* *

-JUN: That was crazy, right? -[Feathers purrs]

-[Thunder purrs] -So, uh, here.

-It technically belongs to you. -[dragons squawk happily]

Viking bloodline and all.

-I still can't believe you did all that to get the book back.

-Turns out I'm good for more than just IT services.

-[soft laugh] It means a lot, Alex.

-And we sorta got you something, too.

-A peace offering.

-WENDY: Hi, Alex. -[Alex gasps]

-Wendy! [sighs] Thanks.

-Okay, so Tommy got his book back.

Gonzo got her tablet. Are we all back to normal?

[awkward cough]

-I guess not quite. -D'ANGELO: Hey.

At least we all learned something today.

Who knew Alex could read the Book of Dragons?

-I totally knew.

-Oh, I can't read a word of it.

-...that she couldn't read a word of it.

ALEX: I lied

like a big old liar to trick Buzzsaw.

But, I did see what he's looking for.

And you don't have to read runes

to know it's not good.

[all gasp]

-Is that... -The Dark Realm.

[music crescendos]
