Mmm. The cod is
looking fresh today!

And the trout is looking tasty,

- and the sea bass is...
- [Hannahr] Psst!

- Huh?
- Rescue Riders!

Looking for the Rescue Riders?

Hello?

How can we help you?

Uh, Burps, that was Hannahr.

Whew, that’s a relief!

Talking fish would not
agree with my stomachs.

Uh, what’s going on, Hannahr?

I wanted to let you know about

a very special event
coming up this week.

What’s it gonna be this time?

Another Clam Festival?

Or a "Best Chicken" Competition?

Or let me guess,

it’s Chief Duggard’s
birthday party?

It’s Chief Duggard’s
birthday party!

Wow. I am good.

Chief Duggard’s
birthday is this week?

That’s right, and every year we
throw him a big surprise party

inside the Great Hall.

Ooh, I love surprises.

Especially when I know
about them beforehand

so I’m not surprised!

Speaking of surprises...

Chief Duggard’s
coming right now!

Ah! And what are you
all talking about?

Perhaps a very special surprise
event coming up this week, eh?

[scoffs] Surprise event?

What ever could you mean, Chief?

[yelps]

Yeah, we have no idea

- what you’re talking about.
- [Burple whimpers]

[Leyla] None. Not at
all. Not even a little.

Uh-huh.

Well, just so you know,
I’m a size large...

extra short.

[exhales] Keeping
secrets is hard.

Burps, he wouldn’t have
understood you anyway.

Oh, right.

As you can see, the party
is technically a surprise...

even though Duggard knows
it’s coming every year.

We still try to surprise
him with our gifts and,

since you’re family now,

I thought you’d want
to get him one too.

Thanks, Hannahr. We sure do!

[all talking at once]

Wait, wait, wait...

Everyone say their gift
idea one at a time!

[all talking at once]

[whistles]

Lobster.

Let’s try this a different way.

Since we can’t seem
to agree on one gift,

how about we each
get him something?

That’s a great idea, Ley!

But you guys will never b*at the
present Wing and I are gonna get him...

A book of tickets
for dragon rides!

Like a morning of
dangerous fast flying!

Ooh, or a night of crazy
speed tricks, or...

An afternoon of not dangerous,

not crazy regular flying?

Uh, right, yeah.
That’ll be in there too!

Tickets for dragon
rides? Puh-lease.

I’m giving Chief Duggard
the best gift of all...

A custom-made
wood-carving... of me!

What could be a
better gift than that?

I can think of a few things.

No, make that lots
and lots of things.

Oh, yeah?

What are you getting him
that’s so great, Agg?

It’s a secret.

What? That’s not fair!

Uh, ours is a secret
too, right, Sum?

It is now!

Ooh! Ooh! Mine’s a secret too!

It’s rocks!

Like I said,

keeping secrets is hard.

Fine, have it your way.

Now if you’ll excuse me,

I’m off to find the
perfect kind of wood

for a perfect carving
of a perfect dragon!

That’ll make the
perfect present!

Ha!

Uh...

Hmm.

Maybe a self portrait in pine?

Eh, I never look good in pine.

Oh! Maybe birch...

- [dragon] Hup!
- Huh?

Eh.

Or maybe... [gasps]

What is that?

[dragon grunting]

Uh... are you okay?

Of course. [grunts]

Just a few more... [grunts]

and I will have
completed my sky sprints.

- Sky sprints?
- That’s right.

Very important to stay in
top physical condition.

- Care to join me?
- Eh, no, thanks.

It’s more important for me to
stay in top napping condition,

if ya know what I mean.

I do not.

What now?

Wing stretches, of course.

Don’t want to get a cramp
after the sky sprints.

Oh yeah, that’s a constant
worry of mine too.

You do this all the time?

Twice a day

except on Sunday.

When I do it three times.

It’s the Chaperang way
to be ready for anything

at any time.

- Chaperang, huh?
- [grunts]

Well, it’s the
Razorwing way to...

pretty much never be
ready for anything ever.

But works for me!

Nice meeting ya, uh...

- Talon.
- Good name. I’m Cutter!

And I’m in the
middle of something.

One, two...

Okay, don’t let me disturb you.

Oh, how am I gonna decide
between these five trees?

No, seven trees!

No, 12 trees!

13, 14...

- Wait, did you say nine?
- 16, 17...

That reminds me of the
time I saw nine fish...

- or was it 19...
- 20...

Or 92 and a half...

Oh, that’s right...
It was actually 14.

- 24, 25...
- And it wasn’t fish,

it was wolves...
14 to 23 wolves!

28, 29...

- 30, 31...
- Man. That guy can focus.

- 32...
- [growling]

- 33...
- Uh, Talon, wolves!

- 34, 35...
- Two of them! No, three!

Very funny, Razorwing.

I know you’re trying
to mess up my count.

- 39, 40...
- No, really. Wolves.

- Wolves!
- 41, 42...

[barking]

- Take that!
- [whimpers]

45... [gasps]

- And that!
- [yelps]

And especially... that!

[whines]

You weren’t kidding
about the wolves.

Nope. Kind of saved
your tail there.

And your wings and, well,
pretty much all of you.

You saved my life?

Yeah, but don’t mention it ’cause
you did something for me too.

Helped me pick the perfect
wood for my carving!

Why didn’t I think of it before?

I look great in oak!

[grunts] Save ya later, Talon!

[straining]

He saved my life.

Hmm.

♪ Perfect gift, perfect gift ♪

♪ Cutter’s got the
perfect gift! ♪

Hmm?

Oh, uh, hi again.

- Sir.
- [grunts]

Going the same way, huh?

- Affirmative.
- Oh. That’s... fun.

Uh... Ha!

[grunts] Whoo!

Ah!

Ugh!

Ha! Lost him!

[grunts]

[sighs]

Who’s your new friend, Cutter?

[screams]

His name is Talon, but I don’t
know what he’s doing here!

You saved my life, Cutter.

Which means I now owe
you a dragon debt.

A dragon what?

I’ve heard about Dragon Debts.

They’re an ancient tradition

I didn’t know any
dragons still followed.

They basically say that if
someone saves a dragon’s life...

That dragon must protect their
rescuer until the debt is repaid.

Repaid? How?

By saving your life.

It’s another very important part

of the Chaparang way.

Chaparang, of course!

They’re known as the
"protectors of the sky."

I’ve heard they often guard
traveling flocks of dragons.

- [growls]
- [whimpers]

Hey, that’s like us!

We’re the Rescue Riders,
we help dragons too.

"Rescue Riders"?

So you mean you let dragons get
into trouble and then help them?

What? No, I mean,

sometimes it happens
that way but...

Chaparang’s help dragons
before they need to be rescued.

You might want to
consider trying that.

Uh, can we get back to
how this affects me now?

Talon, you’re saying that,

now that you have a
dragon debt to me,

you’re gonna be my own
personal bodyguard?

It is a great honor
to serve you, sir.

Hmm.

Oh, this is gonna be good.

I can’t believe this.

We save dragons all the time

and Cutter’s the one
who gets a dragon debt?

Yeah, I’d love to have a dragon
around me to keep me out of trouble.

Huh?!

Uh... you do, Dak.

Me.

Huh?

Oh... right.

So, Talon, you’re really
going to guard and protect me

at all times?

I will never leave your side

until the dragon debt
has been repaid, sir.

Okay, then...

- protect me from the sun!
- [grunts]

Now protect me from that bird!

Away, feathered fiend.

[squawks]

Now protect me from
hearing Aggro say

she has a bad
feeling about this!

[grunts]

I have a bad feeling about this.

Sorry, Agg. Too slow!

C’mon, "Dragonguard."

I think it’s time to...

secure a safe spot for my nap!

Of course, sir.

[grunts]

Hmm.

[blows]

Okay, I cannot stand around
watching that all day.

[Hannahr] Rescue Riders!

Oh, Rescue Riders!

Phew. Saved by the Hannahr.

I was wondering if you’d
want to help decorate

the Great Hall for
Duggard’s party.

Won’t Chief Duggard see us?

[laughs] No,

he "went for a walk" for
at least a few hours...

and he also left all the
birthday decorations out for us.

We’d love to help, Hannahr!

Wait, I’ll come too!

I’d never miss decorating
for Duggard’s birthday!

At least, I’d never miss
having someone do it for me.

[whistling]

- Wait! clear!
- [gasps]

[grunts]

Could someone me help
with this banner?

I got it!

I mean... Talon,
could you get it?

I wouldn’t want to bump
my head on the ceiling.

Of course, sir.

Thank you... new dragon?

[grunting]

Dak, let me help you with that,

and by that I mean...

Talon, go help Dak with that.

Wouldn’t want to stub my toe.

I agree. Not worth
the risk, sir.

[grunts]

Yay. I love it
when Cutter helps.

Cutter, I think we need
a spike to hang this one.

Sorry, don’t think your new
"Dragonguard" can help with that.

- Oh, no? Talon!
- Huh?

- Think fast! [grunts]
- [grunts]

Wow, those sky sprints
really do come in handy, huh?

Knew I had a bad
feeling about this.

Phew, decorating is exhausting,

am I right?

Duggard’s party is tomorrow so
we better finish our presents!

Okay, Sum, time to get
started on our seashell...

Did you say "seashell"?

Seashell what?

Whoops. [chuckles]

Guess our secret present
isn’t so secret anymore.

We’re making him a collage

out of seashells.

Well, we were.

I can’t find all the shells we
found in the ocean this morning!

Anyone seen them?

Did you say seashells?

Yes, I took care of those.

What do you mean
"took care" of them?

- I mean I threw them all back into the sea.
- [both] What?

It’s not safe to have all those
jagged and pointy shells around.

Cutter could get poked or cut.

Uh, his name is Cutter

and he’s covered
in pointy things!

Yeah, Talon,
they’re just shells,

I’m pretty sure they
could handle them.

- Stop right there!
- [gasps]

It is very dangerous
to play with rocks

so close to Cutter like that.

[muffled] But I’m trying
to find the best one

to give to Chief Duggard!

- What?
- [muffled] I said,

I’m trying to find the best
one to give to Chief Duggard!

- What?
- Talon, it’s okay.

He does the rock
thing all the time.

Hmm.

Just please burp at
safe... Perimeter alert!

[screams] What does
that even mean?

I don’t know either, Burps!

- Halt!
- [gasps]

What is it? What’s wrong?

We need to keep this
air space clear.

Air space?

But we’re practicing tricks
for Duggard’s ticket book!

Not anymore you’re
not. [gasps]

Stop, drop, and roll, ma’am!

- Stop, drop, and...
- [grunts]

What are you doing?

I was just practicing my firework
show for Duggard’s birthday!

Not on my watch you’re not.

- [growls]
- Sorry, Agg.

I’ll talk to him.

Talon, she’s a fire dragon

so she does that kind of
stuff all the time too.

Everyone here does.

Sir, I take this dragon debt,

and your safety, very seriously.

Yeah, I’m getting that.

Look, why don’t we
just head over here

so we can work on
my present, huh?

Hmm...

Eh?

Uh, I could use a
little space to carve.

[grunting]

Careful... that’s sharp.

Don’t want to get a splinter.

It’s kind of hard to concentrate

with you, uh, doing that.

It’s for your safety, sir.

Ugh. Look, isn’t
there anything else

you could do right
now to "protect" me?

Like keep an eye out
for dangerous bugs

or watch for bad weather or...

take a break and grab yourself
a fish from the fish barrel!

Wait, you eat fish
out of that barrel?

They definitely need to
be checked for freshness.

Great! Sounds like a plan.

Nope. Uh-uh. Nope. Nada.

Mm-mm. Oh! Nope.

Nope.

Nope. Oh, definitely
not. Definitely no.

Just a few more
cuts and... voilà!

It’s so beautiful.

So amazing.

So... me!

Just gotta wash off the
sawdust and I’m done.

Hey, Sum?

H-2-On it!

[grunting]

Hang on, sir! I’ll save you!

No!

[gasps]

Talon, what are you doing?

Right now I’m listening
to you yell at me, sir.

- What happened?
- Talon broke my statue, that’s what!

Statue? Oh, I see.

I thought the water
dragon was blasting you.

[all] Huh?

Why would she be blasting me?

A trap? Surprise att*ck?

An incredibly ill-timed
practical joke?

What?! Look, Talon,

I appreciate what you’re doing,

but you really gotta
take it down a notch.

Or ten.

I only have one "notch," sir.

What I’m trying to say is,

maybe loosen up
and have some fun.

There’s no time for "fun,"
not when I’m on duty.

[groans] Okay,

well, can you at
least cool it tomorrow

so I can enjoy Duggard’s
birthday party?

Sorry, sir. There is no way
you are going to that party.

Great, I’m glad we understand
each other and, uh...

Wait, what?!

Uh... did you say I’m not
going to Duggard’s party?

Of course not. It would
be far too dangerous.

Dangerous?

Talon, it’s just a birthday
celebration for our Chief.

It’s really nothing
to worry about.

Yeah, there’s just gonna be
friends from the village,

delicious food,

and lots of birthday presents!

- Presents?
- People wrap things up in fancy paper

so you don’t know what’s inside.

- What?!
- [Cutter] Ah!

Sorry, sir, but I am not letting you
within a 100 yards of that party.

Not "letting" me?

Sorry, Talon, but
you can not stop me

from going wherever I want to...

[grunts]

[Cutter muffled] Uh, okay.

Maybe you can stop
me from going places.

What am I gonna do?

If Talon "protects"
my life much longer,

I’m not gonna have
much of a life left!

Knew I had a bad
feeling about this.

Maybe there’s some other
way to get through to him.

You can’t miss Duggard’s party!

I know but he won’t listen
to anyone or anything!

All he cares about is
repaying the dragon debt.

Wait a second, that’s it!

If he won’t leave you alone
until the debt has been repaid,

maybe there’s a way to
make him think it has.

What do you mean?

I mean... everyone gets lost
in the Maze Caves, right?

I get lost just thinking
about the Maze Caves.

So maybe Cutter can accidentally
get "lost" in there too...

And Talon can find me and think
he’s repaid the dragon debt!

Exactly.

I guess it could work.

In theory.

Possibly. Maybe.

That’s good enough
for me! Let’s do it!

[rooster crows]

Okay, Cutter.

We are all going to
Duggard’s party now.

Sorry you cannot come!

Yes, I am sorry too,

but it is for the best.

Have fun, everyone!

Thanks for all you do, Talon.

Now I’m gonna head
inside and take a nap.

But didn’t you just wake up?

Er, uh, a quick power nap.

You know... for, uh, power.

Great idea, sir.

Need a room scan or
a bed check or a...

song to ensure your emotional
well-being during slumber?

I’m good.

[laughs]

Oh, hello, Talon!

Rock dragon.

Can I help you with something?

Oh, no, I just, um...

forgot something for the party.

- Be right back!
- Please do not disturb Cutter

during his mid-morning shut-eye.

Don’t worry, I won’t!

Uh, Talon? Cutter’s
not in here.

What?

What’s Talon going
on? Where did he go?

Oh, no...

I hope he did not go
into the Maze Caves!

Mazes and caves?

Why would he ever go
somewhere so dangerous?

I don’t know,

but I heard him talking earlier

about how he really
wanted to find wood

to make a new carving!

Wood? Inside caves?

[whimpers]

That’s just what he said!

Just stop giving me that look!

There!

Behold the entrance to the
dangerous and deadly Maze Caves!

It does not make sense.

Could he really
have gone in there?

[Cutter] Help, help!

I am definitely lost
in the Maze Caves

and I cannot find my way out!

I’m coming, sir!
Just stay calm!

Huh. Maybe this plan
will work after all!

- [growling]
- [gasps]

Or not!

Cutter, sir! I’m coming!

Stay wherever you are
so I can... [grunts]

Find you?

Oh, thank goodness!
You saved me, Talon!

You were really lost, sir?

But the entrance is right there.

It is?

Wow, I must really have a
terrible sense of direction.

Oh, I don’t know what I would’ve
done if you didn’t find me!

I could of been stuck
in here forever!

Yes. I suppose I did save you.

The life debt has
officially been...

- [Burple] Look out!
- For what, Burps?

- Those! Ah!
- [snarling]

Ah! Maybe this Maze Cave plan
was a bad idea after all!

Plan?

Wait a second, was
this all... a trick?

Uh, maybe?

- Ah!
- [barking and growling]

Aah!

Very unwise to put yourself
in this much danger, sir.

Yeah, I get that now!

I’m sorry for
tricking you, Talon!

But if we fly too much farther

we’re really gonna
be lost in here!

So do you think you could
actually save me now!

[growls]

Don’t worry, sir.

I have been training
for this my entire life.

- [growling]
- Follow me!

Wait, follow you
toward the wolves?

[groans]

- [grunting]
- [yelping]

Whoa!

[Cutter] Whoa!

- [roars]
- [wolves yelp]

Whoa! Now that is a cool move!

Now you know why I do
the wing stretches.

Are you all right, sir?

I think so.

Thanks to you!

I’m really sorry again
for tricking you.

But... now you
really did save me

so I guess the life debt has
been repaid for real, right?

I suppose it has.

It was the great honor of
my life protecting you, sir.

Even with all the
tricking and the...

- Look out, wolf!
- [screams]

See? I can have fun.
When I’m off duty.

Never joke about wolves, Talon!

That’s the first
rule of having fun!

It was good knowing you,
Cutter, sir. Stay safe.

Wait, Talon...

if you’re off duty now...

wanna come to Duggard’s
birthday party?

You can be my guest.

It would be my honor, sir.

So I’m guessing the
plan didn’t work?

Oh, it worked.

Kinda.

Wait, someone’s coming... Shhh!

[gasping]

Whoa, I guess I’ll walk into the
Great Hall for no apparent reason.

[all] Surprise!

Oh, what are you all doing here?

I had no idea you were
throwing me a party!

Just look at all the
food and the cake and...

Ooh! Oh, the presents!
Are those all for me?

Oh! This is a wonderful
"surprise" indeed!

Were you guys able to finish your
presents for Duggard in time?

Well... in a way.

[grunts]

What? Did you guys
do this for me?

And is that... Slinkwing goo?

My claws are still sticky.

We ran out of time to make
our own gifts so we thought...

maybe one from all of
us is better after all.

Even if it is a statue of you.

I do look good in oak, don’t I?

Look out!

[grunts] Careful!

Ya almost got crushed by that
giant incredibly spiky statue.

You... saved my life, sir.

- Oh!
- Hup.

What did he say?

Oh, boy.

Here we go again!

- [grunts]
- [groans]

Ah!
