05x02 - Welcome to the Wonderful World of Dragons

[bunniefuu]

- No.
- Yup!

A-and if you hold up
a fish nug like this,

he'll go all...

- Wow!
- Just like that.

- So that's the reason the general store
is always out of them.

- But then he'll get all, like,
distracted by his tail

and be like...

It's such a relief that you
finally know about dragons.

- I'm your mom.

You can tell me anything.

- I know. I know.

I'm just...

I'm just glad things are cool
between us again.

- Yep.

And tonight, after work,
you can take me down to the Hidden World.

- Um...

- You don't seem so happy about that.

- Not happy? No! No, that's...

I-I'm very happy about... that. Yeah!

I mean, today, the thing is,

me and the other riders were going to,

uh, you know, do our own--
- Uh-huh.

I don't think you understand.

I am going down there with or without you,

and you are not going down there again

until I've determined if it's safe.

- I get it! I get it. But it is safe!
Really, it is!

It's really, really, really safe.
- Great.

Then, you can safely show me
around later on. Mwah.

Your mom is coming down here?!

- And you just okayed this?!

- She didn't exactly ask for permission.

She wants to see it for herself, and,
uh, she wants to make sure it's safe,

and if it's not, I'm probably
not allowed back.

- Uh, Tom?

"Safe" isn't exactly what I would call

the Dragon Realms.

- Yeah! I can think of
at least 17 mission no-gos

in the Rakke Exploratory
Safety Procedure manual alone.

- It'll be fine.
Let's just try to stay positive.

- Okay!
- Wu! Wei!

What are you doing? No! Don't!

- Ah!

Okay, sure.

It can get
a little dangerous down here.

But it doesn't matter how safe it is.

It matters how safe she thinks it is.

- I see where you're going here.

Hypnosis.

- Uh, no.
- Okay, then I'm at a loss.

- Look, we set things up so she only sees
what we want her to see.

We collect the most docile,
friendly dragons we can find,

place them along a safe,
prearranged route,

and then show them off.

It'll be like a guided tour of a zoo,

except all the animals are dragons.

And Thunder will be her flying shuttle.

What do you think?

- It's not too late to try hypnosis.

- Hey, little fellas. Come and get it.

- Hey! Hey, you!

- You're coming with us, buddy.

- Hey,
I think you forgot your drag--

Hello, friend.

Aaaah!

- This is so lame!

Who's there?

Oh hey, little guy.

You seem nice.

Think he wants to be friends?

Sure he does. It's me!

Over here! This way, guys.

D'Angelo, where you putting those Terrors?

- I'm thinking next to your Snowtails.

They're cousins, so they should get along.

- Sounds good.

- And I got this guy.

Huh? Hey!

- Uh, that dragon wasn't on the list.

- I put him on the list.

- When?
- Uh , when I saw him.

Look at him! He's great!

- We don't know anything about him!

- He's my bud.
What else you need to know?

Uh,

if he's dangerous?

- This little bag of donuts?
Pfft. Come on!

You're harmless, aren't you?

- Tom tripped the sensor by the Lair.

That's the signal he and Dr. Kullersen
are on their way.

- Eugene, can you just-- Huh?

Uh, what is it doing?

- Don't judge!

I'm sure that's perfectly normal
for this type of dragon.

- Jun, we gotta get to our places!

- Fine. Put that one, like,

off to the side or something.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You get over there, okay?

- You hang right here.
Okay, little buddies?

- This place is fantastic!

- Okay, pal.
Everything should be in place by now.

At least, I hope so.

Best behavior. Got it?
- You ready?

- Yeah! Yeah, of course.
Can't wait.

- You seem... nervous.

- Me? No! No, I'm just, uh,
excited, that's all.

Finally get to show you around.
Right, pal?

- This is exciting!

We're exploring
a whole new world together.

- Yeah. Guess that must be
why I'm a little nervous.

- You want me to fly the dragon?

- Huh? No way!

- I don't know. You're a little young
to have your pilot's license.

- Mom, I know what I'm doing.

Now, if you'll just have a seat,

we can begin our expedition
into the Hidden World.

Please keep all arms and legs
on the dragon at all times.

Don't worry! You'll get the hang of it.
We come from Vikings, remember?

Take us out, pal.

Oh, and, uh, hold on tight.

- The firefalls!

That is a natural phenomenon!

Slow down! Slow down!
- Sorry! Not part of the tour.

- I need to journal about those!

- You ain't seen nothing yet.
- Whoa!

Whoa.

Tom, this is like being on another planet!

- Ow.
- How could you keep this from me?

- Welcome to the wonderful world
of dragons.

That's a Hobgobbler. Pretty cute, huh?

Huh? Mom?

Mom! Oh, oh, hey, hey,
wait, wait, wait!

You need to, uh, stay on Thunder--

- You expect me to just fly by
all of these amazing creatures?

I need to take a closer look.

- Hold on, girl.

We wanna save chow time
for when Tom's mom comes by.

That sounds... not good. Come on.

Let's check it out. Quickly!

- A creature that expels

actual liquid magma?
How is that possible?

- I... I don't really know, actually.

D'Angelo might have a better idea.
He's kind of our dragon doctor.

- That's impressive.

But how exactly are dragons
that spit lava safe?

- Well... Um...

Oh! Oh, look! It-it's Eugene!

- Hey, Dr. K!
Delightful to see you down here.

- Ew.

That dragon is... different?

- This is my good friend Webmaster.

Say hi, buddy.

That means he likes you.
- Oh! Uh, he's... friendly.

- You see that?

I hear you, girl.

Something's got them flustered.

- Get it, Feathers!

- This one has... feathers.

Then again, some dinosaurs,
mostly theropods, had feathers.

- She is not a dinosaur.

Uh, sorry. I mean,

can a dinosaur do this?

Feathers, let's hear it.

See? Not a dino.

Tom.

:
Tom! We gotta talk!

Hi, Dr. Kullersen!

- : It's going well, right?
- : We got a problem

with the Snowtails
and the Terrible Terrors.

Dude, they were going at each other hard!

I think we should call this off.
- What? No, no, no, no, no, no.

We can't call it off.

My mom is almost convinced
this place is pretty safe.

Can't you just separate them?
You're Dr. D.

- Tom? What's going on?
Is something wrong?

- Everything's fine!

- Watch this, Tom's mom!

Cloaking ability.

Ooh, ah...

- : Please take care of this.

Find Eugene and get him to help.

- I'll handle it.

On... Off...

- A two-headed dragon.

- In Chinese myths, two-headed dragons
are said to represent rebirth.

- Wow.

- Don't worry, Dr. Kullersen.
Wei's just blowing off steam to relax.

- I have to say, when you
told me this place was safe,

I had a hard time believing it.

But these dragons are all so docile.

I mean, that Magma Breather is...

I would avoid him.
But, other than that...

What's that?
Uh,

probably nothing.
You know, dragons doing dragon stuff.

- I'm sure it's nothing.
You continue the tour. I'll check it out.

- Yeah! Come on, Mom. Let's move on.

- I thought these guys
were supposed to be calm!

- They are!

- Maybe you should rethink
that "doctor" nickname of yours

because, uh, this ain't calm!

- Would you let me figure this out?

Take it easy, everybody.

- : What is going on?

Dr. Kullersen can hear this!
They're gonna blow our cover!

- I don't know what's wrong with them!

Alright, that is enough!

Back off! Shoo! No more!
Huh. That's better.

- Wu! Hey! Calm down!

Why are they all freaking out, D?
- What do you want me to do?!

Girl, no!

- That was not good.

- Maybe Tom's mom won't see it.

- These crystal formations
are the largest I've ever seen!

- Uh, y-you know what?
Maybe we should head home.

- Home? Alright, Tom.

I wasn't born yesterday.
I know something's going on.

- Uh, would you believe

that that's just a little dragon
fireworks show?

- No more games.
Take me over there. I wanna see.

Relax! Relax! Calm down.

Come on! Stop it, please!

- Plow! Plow!

- Wu! Wei!

Hey! Hey, hey, hey. Calm down. It's okay.

- Careful! Aah!

Not the hair!

Tom, they're going feral, man!
They've lost it!

- I know this looks bad,

but I promise these dragons are harmless.

Ah, look out!

- Oh!

Don't worry, Dr. K! We got this.

- Yeah! Perfectly normal!

- This is normal?

Is this what you mean by "safe"?

- Yeah, this is not going well. Pal,

I need you to get my mom out of here.

Thunder? What's wrong?

Tom!

Watch out!

Thanks, pal.

- That was close. You okay?

- It'll take more than some
falling rocks to take us down.

We gotta find cover!
- Over here!

- It's getting bad over there.
- Tom, we need to leave.

- No. We have to fix this.

- Yeah, they could hurt each other.

- These are wild animals.
Isn't this in their nature?

As scientists, we act as observers.

Let nature take its course.

- No, no, it-it...

It's kind of our fault.

- Respectfully, Dr. Kullersen,
it's mostly Tom's fault.

We brought them together.

These dragons
are all from different realms.

- The thing is, I thought
if I made it seem safe down here,

you wouldn't stop me from coming down.

So, we collected the smallest,
calmest dragons we could find...

- But they're not docile today.

Something is driving them crazy.

- I guess some dragons
just don't get along

with one another.

- Shoulda done your research, Tom.

Guess you don't know them
like you thought you did.

- Don't know them...

The only thing we don't know
is what's driving them crazy.

There! It's that one!

- You brought that one in!

- Which one? There's lots
of dragons over there.

- W-what is that?
Was that dragon on the list?

- Oh, that one? Yeah, it wasn't
on the list, until I saw him,

and then I put him on the list.
So what?

- Apparently, Tom's not the only one

who didn't do his research, Eugene .

Things started to go south
after that one showed up.

He keeps opening his mouth
like he's screeching.

But I can't hear anything.
- The dragons sure can.

It's like a dog whistle.

We gotta quiet that dragon.

Easier said than done.

- The sound is messing with them, too.

Well, everyone except--
- All except mine.

Feathers must be immune to its call!

- Ooh, good for Feathers!
So what do we do?

Get the other dragons earplugs?

- Kinda.
I think I have a plan.

- How many plans does he come up with?

- It's pretty constant. Ah!

- Okay, team. Be ready to go
when you hear the scream.

- There it is!

Alright, Feathers.
Hit him with the high note.

- You okay, pal?

Yes. Go, go, go!

- Be careful!

- Jun! We need some heavy mist!
They won't fight what they don't see.

- Let's turn on the blinders.

- Now, let's shut up our friend!

Webmaster shoots...

He scores!

- That'll do, girl.
- Woo-hoo! Yeah!

- Who's hungry?

- Uh-uh! No! Nothing to see over there!

- Let's move out.

- Alright, little ones.
Party's over. Time to head home.

- Alex and I'll get that guy home.
Why don't you go see about your mom?

- Take your friend back
to where you found him.

- Come on, Webs.

- Hey.

Good work up there.
You're not hurt?

- Nope. Made it all in one piece.

You okay?

- I'm...

definitely ready to go home.

- Yeah, that's what I thought.

- Listen, boyo...

- Wait. Can we at least say
goodbye to the dragons?

- Goodbye?

- Well, after everything
you've seen today,

I'm guessing I won't be allowed back.

- I don't think any of us will.

Look.

I understand why you did what you did.

Truth is, after what I saw today,

I don't think
it's all that safe down here.

But I see the bonds

that you have with these dragons,

and their bond with you.

The respect you have for all dragons.

That... impressed me.

- Wait. So, you're, you're impressed?

- This is confusing.
Your mom's confusing, Kullersen.

I, of course, mean that in
the most respectful way possible.

- I'm not going to stop you
from coming down here.

In fact, I have a feeling
that I won't be able to, even if I tried.

- Got that right.
- Mom, I...

I don't know what to say.

- Just say that you won't
keep me in the dark.

- Deal.

Hoo! I feel much better.

- She's not gonna tell our parents?
Hoo! Swicked!

Uh, I didn't say that.

It doesn't feel right keeping
them in the dark, either.

The dragons' safety is important,
but so is yours.

They need to know.
