11x01 - Chiefless

[bunniefuu]

What is
Dak doing out there?

I can’t really tell.

He just keeps running
back and forth

across the yard
with lots of rocks.

I like the rock
part.

He wouldn’t tell me either.

All he said was he’s
setting something up

for Crazy-Training Thursday.

Oh, no. I’m still recovering
from Wacky-Training Wednesday.

When is gonna have
a good themed day,

like Sit-Around Saturday,

or Sleep-In Sunday?

Okay, all
set! Come on out!

- Awesome!
- Finally!

I can’t wait to see
what he’s been...

- planning?

Um, Zak, what is all this?

Just a little something I
call Dragon Dodge and Catch.

Ooh! Dragon Dodge and Catch!

I love Dragon Dodge and Catch!

Wait for it...

What’s Dragon Dodge and Catch?

There it is.

It’s pretty simple, Burps.

All you gotta do is
dodge the red rocks,

and catch the blues! Got it?

Good. Ready-set-go!

Wait, which ones are
we supposed to dodge?

Red, Burps!

I did it! That
was blue, right?

No, that was red!

Really? I’m pretty sure...

- Blue!
- Yeah, exactly!

No, blue coming right at you!

Wait. Am I supposed to... uhhh!

Look out below!

Whoa!

Sorry down there.

I think Burple just
changed your game

to Dragon Dodge and Catch...
and then dodge some more.

Whoops.

Whoa!

Crazy-Training Thursday

sure gave me a crazy appetite.

What should we have
for lunch today?

Maybe monkfish? Or
rainbow trout? Or...

- Chickens.
- Chickens?

Since when do you
eat chicken, Winger?

No, I mean chickens! Look!

What is going on down there?!

Come here, chicken.

Chicken!

Chicken! Ohh! I knew I
should have given them names.

- [clucking

Ouch. That’s gotta hurt.

Don’t worry. We can help
catch your chickens.

- Right, Wing?
- You know it!

Come on!

All right!

Whoa! Unh!

Yeah! Unh!

- Ba-caw!
- What happened?

I don’t know.

Chief Duggard normally helps me
get my chickens into their coop.

He’s got a way with
the feathered beasties,

but he never showed up today.

That’s
all of ’em, right?

Almost!

Burps, that’s not a
chicken. It’s a seagull.

Oh. Tasted like chicken.

Sorry. Pleasure
flying with you!

I think I just found something
new for Crazy-Training Thursday.

Chicken chasing training.

We should totally try that!

We just did.

I wonder why Chief
Duggard wasn’t here

to help with the chickens.

It’s not like him to miss work.

No, that’s definitely
more my thing.

Hannahr will know
where Chief Duggard is.

I don’t know where
Chief Duggard is.

He was supposed to
come by yesterday

for a helmet adjustment,
but never showed up.

And you have no idea
where he might be?

Heh. Probably somewhere
with a loose helmet.

He better be back before Sunday.

He’s supposed to come over
for a family dinner, remember?

I already picked up the fish.

There in here somewhere.

See? I knew I
had one in there!

I just hope nothing else important
happens before they get back.

You mean like three
ships sailing into port

armed with
scary-looking catapults?

- Uh-oh -Hannahr,
do you know who that is?

Aye. That is Chief
Ingrid the Intimidating.

But why "uh-oh"?

Ohhh!

Where is Chief Duggard?!

I need to see him right now!

Whaaaa!

That’s why.

She’s not just intimidating,

she’s also scary in a
really threatening way.

Um, Burple?

That’s what
"intimidating" means, huh?

Yup.

Eh, excuse me, Chief Ingrid?

I’m afraid Chief Duggard
isn’t here at the moment,

- but I’m here...
- The amazing Rescue Riders!

We don’t usually call
ourselves amazing,

- but works for me!
- I’ve heard about you.

It’s a shame you didn’t come
to settle on my island...

- Guttsgalor.
- Guttsgalor! Huzzah!

Guttsgalor?

Sheesh. And I thought

Huttsgalor was a silly
name for an island.

It’s not far from here.

Just a day’s sail to the east.

Faster if you’re flyin’
a dragon, I suppose.

I can’t believe Chief Duggard

sent you all out
here to meet me.

He must have really
wanted to impress me

for the exchange of the
Goblet of Goodwill this year.

The Goblet of Goodwill?

For a long time, Guttsgalor and
Huttsgalor didn’t get along.

We fought over where to fish...

the best length of a beard...

Hmm?

..even our sheep
didn’t get along.

The two islands finally
agreed to stop fighting

and trade the Goblet of
Goodwill back and forth

as a display of
peace and harmony.

Huttsgalor had it this year...

Which means today is the day
it returns home to Guttsgalor!

Huzzah!

So, um, just out of curiosity,

what happens if Huttsgalor doesn’t
return the Goblet of Goodwill today?

Well, if the Goblet is not
handed over by sundown,

the two islands
will have no choice

but to do what we used to do...

- Go to battle!!!
- Huzzah!

Not really a huzzah
moment, Svengard!

Uh... oop.

Um, Chief Ingrid,

could you excuse
us for a moment?

We’re gonna go
get Chief Duggard.

Be right back!

I’ll wait here.

But not for long!

Not for long!

Huzzah!

Okay, what do we do, Ley?

I’m thinking.

Hide? Flee? Leave forever?

All good options.

When did you get here?

Oh, I’m always around.

Unlike Chief
Duggard, apparently.

We can’t wait for Chief
Duggard to come back.

Someone else will have to give
Ingrid the Goblet of Goodwill.

Yes. We’ll need an acting chief.

A respected figure of
integrity and authority

to hand over the goblet
and to save the village.

- Hannahr.
- What?!

Uh, I don’t want to
be acting anything,

but I am happy to help.

Except I don’t know
where the goblet is.

Chief Duggard kept
it hidden away...

for obvious reasons.

Ouch.

Then it sounds like we’ve
gotta find Chief Duggard.

- Come on, Wing.
- Dak,

sundown is in three hours.

We can’t search the
entire island by then.

Finally, someone is
thinking clearly.

Acting Chief Magnus is the only
option to save the village.

I have a plan to...

- Ohhh!

This is a really popular huddle.

Haggis, not now!

Anyone else got any ideas?

I know. We could stop
the sun from going down!

Then we’d have all the time
we need to search for...

Hey. There are no
bad ideas, right?

- Except for that one.
- Hmm.

I think we just
have to be honest

and admit that we
don’t know how to find

Chief Duggard or
the Goblet of...

Ah! Sorry. He seems
very insistent!

Wait! I think he might be
trying to tell us something!

What is it, boy? What
do you want to show us?

- Hmph!

Something about the shield?

Is it a clue? A code? A map?

I think he’s trying
to tell us something’s

behind the shield, Burple.

Oh! But what?

A clue? A code? A...

Oooh, a box!

I never woulda guessed that.

Maybe the goblet
thingy’s inside.

It would be pretty small.

Huh?

It looks like a letter
Chief Duggard wrote to...

himself?

"Chief Duggard, this
is you, Chief Duggard.

"As you... and I... know,
the Goblet of Goodwill

"is very important
to this island,

"so you... and I...
Have hidden it away

so no one but you...
Or I... can find it."

Wait. He hid it from himself?

Guess you can’t trust
anyone these days.

It says here the goblet is
somewhere on the island,

and he left himself
three clues to find it.

Three "nearly impossible
to figure out" clues!

Ley, you left that part out!

I wanted to end on
a positive note.

Summer, Aggro, Burple and
I will follow the clues

and try to find the goblet.

While Winger, Cutter and I will
buy time with Chief Ingrid.

She doesn’t intimidate
me. Much.

A tour of the roost?

But what about the goblet?

And what’s a roost?

It’s where we all live!

A very boring place,

unless you have some
interest in seeing

how dragons and
humans live together.

Ugh! Yuck!

I actually would
like to see that.

I suppose I have time
for a short tour.

Short tour! Huzzah!

Come on, this way.

That’s our cue to
start searching!

Good luck, Rescue Riders!

Yes, good luck!

And don’t worry, if you fail,

Acting Chief Magnus will
be here to save the day!

And prove that I’d be a
better chief than Duggard.

I heard that.

Okay! Time to find a goblet.

But Leyla, Chief Duggard’s
letter said the clues

are nearly impossible
to figure out!

What if we can’t do it?

We’ll just have to do
the best we can, Burp.

The first clue says, "Go to
the caves that are maze-y."

See? I knew
we’d never figure it out!

Maybe we need Cutter’s
tricky mind to help!

Burple, Duggard’s obviously
referring to the Maze Caves.

He is? Whoa, you are gooood.

And over here
is the hatchery,

where we take care of all the
eggs and baby dragons we rescue!

And down there’s the
Dragon Sleep Cave.

That’s where the dragons...

uh, sleep.

Huh. We have a place
like this on Guttsgalor,

only for sheep.

We call it Sheep House.

Intimidating? Yes.

Good at naming things?
Eh, not so much.

And this is where we eat,

and this is where
we keep our gear.

Which we sometimes look at
while we’re eating over there,

and, um... uh...

this is my sister’s
Dragon Diary.

She writes down all the cool stuff
we learn about dragons in here.

See? Rockspitters
have four stomachs.

And Relentless Razorwings
like Cutter here

are very ticklish
under their left wings.

What?! That’s not true...

Okay, you made your point.

Huh. We have a book like
this on Guttsgalor, too,

only about sheep. We call it...

Lemme guess. Sheep Diary?

Ah. So you’ve heard of it.

This is all so fascinating,

but isn’t it goblet time?

I suppose you’re right.

Oh, uh, um, wait!

You can’t leave before
seeing the training yard!

Training yard?

Sure! No tour of the roost
is complete without it!

Come on, it’s right this way.

Oh, a field of grass.
Who could resist?

Nice save, but how long do
you think we can keep this up?

Hopefully long enough for
Leyla to find that goblet.

Tunnel marked.

Huh? Wait!

Burple, is it the second clue?

No! It’s a rock that’s
shaped like a fish!

I’ve always wanted
one of these.

Wait!

Is it another rock
shaped like a fish?

- Nope.
- Is it a fish shaped like a rock?

No. I just thought of something.

We’ve been marking our
way so we don’t get lost.

But why didn’t Chief
Duggard get lost?

I don’t see any other
markings anywhere.

Ohh. The clue doesn’t say,

"Go in the caves
that are maze-y"...

It says, "Go to them."

I’ll look up here.

Hmm.

Unh!

Hey! I think I found it!

Huh?

Oh! I knew that rock looked
out of place on the way in.

And you didn’t say
anything because...?

Because stuff looks out of
place to me all the time.

And when am I ever right?

It’s the second clue!

"The next clue you will reveal

near a danger with
a slippery feel."

Oh, this one’s a
breeze to figure out.

I mean, not for me.

Come on! We’ll figure it out
on the fly, while we fly.

How very Dak of you.

A dangerous place
that’s slippery.

Boiling Springs
Valley is pretty dangerous.

But it’s more sticky
than slippery.

Or the north side of the island!

All that ice is pretty
slippery, right?

And cold. Does the clue

say anything about
freezing your tail off?

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh? Uh-oh what?

I can’t handle
another uh-oh moment.

I think I know what
Chief Duggard meant,

and "uh-oh" is about right.

Follow me.

Follow you towards the uh-oh?

Uh-oh.

"A danger with a slippery feel."

Ohh, eels are
dangerous, and slippery!

And "reveal" and "feel"...

both rhyme with "eel."

Come on, let’s do this before
we have time to think about it.

That’s how I do everything.

I sure hope Dak’s having

an easier time
with Chief Ingrid.

Pretty impressive, right?

I would say so!

And you call those
"power blasts"?

Yup. And this is a mega blast!

Outstanding!

Ask him to do it again.

Well, actually, he can
only blast three times,

and then he needs to recharge.

Not so outstanding
after all, hmm?

Certainly does take a
bit of the shine off it.

I guess we should get back
to the Goblet Exchange.

W-Wait! Did I mention Cutter
wanted to show you his stuff too?

D-Didn’t you, Cutter?

I did? I mean, I did!

Whoo-hoo! Huzzah!

That’s nice.

Not a mega blast, but nice.

Well, this has been quite enjoyable,
but I do think it’s time...

To see even more? That’s good,

because Cutter has
something really awesome

he wants to show you now.

Remember? That
really awesome trick

you wanted to show her?

O-kay!

One really awesome
trick coming up!

I hope.

Here goes... something!

Huzzah!

Aaaaah!

Hmm?

Cutter, is it?

Do that again!

- What?!
- Uh, of course.

He can do it all day.

- I can?
- He can?

- Anything?
- You mean other than

dozens of eels
snapping at my tail

and giving me nightmare material
for the rest of my life?

Not really.

How’s it going over there?

Well, Burple seems to
be enjoying himself.

No clue under this rock!

Or this one.

Or this one!

[sighs Guess I’m goin’ back in.

Hey! Did Burple arrange
those rocks like that?

- Like what?
- Like that arrow.

Whoa! Rock clue?

My favorite kind!

It’s the third and final clue!

Yes! What does it say?

This one we’re gonna figure
out in no time. I can feel it.

It says, "Number four."

"Number four"? That’s
the whole clue?

Okay, maybe it will
take some time.

Unfortunately,

I don’t think we
have any time left.

Okay, blast away!

I can’t, Dak.

Aw, you can make that sh*t.

No, I mean... I’m
out of spikes!

Um... Chief Ingrid?

Wait. We didn’t show you
the rest of the Roost yet.

- We have a zip line.
- Saw it.

- And a really big map.
- Saw that, too.

What about our closets?

It would be a big mistake

to miss our closets!

I’m very sorry, but I simply
cannot wait any longer.

I need the Goblet,
and I need it now!

Hmm? Unhh!

I hate it when that happens.

Dak!

You got the Goblet, right?

No. The last clue stumped us.

"Number four"? What
does that mean?

We do not know.

The fourth tree,
the fourth cave?

- A fourth clue?
- So what are we gonna do?

- Panic?
- I think we have to do

what we should have
done in the first place.

- Panic!
- Tell the truth.

Oh, I was really
hoping to avoid that.

Um, Chief Ingrid?

Can we talk to you for a second?

Aye.

So, the truth is, we
don’t have the Goblet,

and we don’t know
where Chief Duggard is.

What?!

Acting Chief Magnus Finke here.

I want to apologize
for the failings

of our soon-to-be-former
Chief Duggard.

- Button it!
- Away, child.

Chief Ingrid, who
cares about goblets?

To keep the peace, I can offer you
something much more valuable...

My genius inventions!

Like an a*t*matic sheep shearer.

- Or a handy-dandy

well-drilling machine!

Or, how would you
like your very own...

mechanical dragon?

I don’t want that junk!

Junk?! Those are
invaluable inventions!

Maybe so, but I came here
for the Goblet of Good Will,

and if I don’t get it before
the sun is all the way down,

we are gonna have to go
back to the old days...

With the fighting and the
yelling and the battles!

Battle? You heard the chief!

- It’s time to battle!
- Huzzah!

Fire the catapult!

All right!

No, Svengard!

That’s not what I meant!

Ptoo!

This took a turn
I did not expect.

There’s gotta be a way
to figure out this clue.

Number four. The fourth
mountain? The fourth day?

Or the fourth number!

The fourth number is
number four, which means...

Okay, I’m running
out of ides here.

I apologize.

My crew overreacted

when they heard
the word "battle."

Did you say battle?

Okay, this is not
a drill, people!

- Battle!
- Arghh!

Huzzah!

Svengard, no!

It is a drill! It is!

Here we go again!

Huhh!

Okay, I will not say
the B-word again.

Until I have to, for real,

is you don’t find that goblet.

Listen, maybe there’s some
other way we can solve this.

Why don’t we just
pick a new goblet

to be the Goblet of Good Will?

Then we could avoid a battle.

Did ya hear that?

Chief Ingrid said battle!

No, I did not!

That was her, and you know it!

Seriously, Svengard.

Uh... sorry about that.

So, what do you think
about my brother’s idea,

Chief Ingrid... It
could work, right?

You can’t
just call any old cup

the Goblet of Good Will!

Did she say cup?

A goblet is a cup?

Hang on a sec.

The Goblet of Good Will!

Huh?

Burple, how did you...

Chief Duggard gave it to me
last month to hide in stomach...

... number four!

Exactly! How’d you guess?

Oh...

So all this time you didn’t even
know what we were searching for?

What did you think a goblet was?

A little gob?

Behold!

The Goblet of Good Will!

Huzzah!

It was a pleasure meetin’
you, Rescue Riders.

Do give my regards
to Chief Duggan

whenever he turns up!

Ahhh.

Ahhh.

- Yeah, I wonder where he is.
- I hope he’s okay.

- Me too! Who we talkin’ about?
- Duggard!

Oh, Chief! Where
have you been?

Visitin’ me mum up north.

Why didn’t you tell anybody?

I did! I told Magnus.

Me? I don’t think so.

Sure! Remember?

You asked me when I
saw my mother last,

and I said it’s been a while.

Then you said I should
go visit her right away,

and I said I couldn’t
because I was pretty sure

I had something important
to do this week.

And you said, "What’s more
important than seeing your mother?"

And I said, "Good point!"

And you flew me up there
on your Mechano-Dragon,

but then you forgot to
come back and pick me up.

No, it does not ring a bell.

Oh, my! Do you hear that?

Axel is calling. Sounds
like he needs my help.

Ta-ta!

Ahh. I do hope I didn’t miss
anything while I was gone.

Oh, me mum and I
knitted you sweaters!
