I just don't get it.

Why would Thunder leave me

just to get into a fight?

Guess he keeps secrets, too.

No wonder you guys get along.

There is way too much

lightning scoring
for just Thunder.

Something else here was
blasting lightning, too.

Tom! Check it out!

There are two sets
of dragon tracks.

These look like Thunder's and
head off in this direction.

- The others go into the cave.

[snarls]

Thunder's family. That's it!

The lightning we were chasing
must have been a battle

between Thunder's family
and... and whatever's in there.

D'ANGELO: Oh man.

That thing must be pretty tough

if it was strong enough
to knock out Thunder

- and chase off his family.

Looks like Thunder
wants to go that way.

I understand if you want
to go home, but I can't.

Not yet. Whatever
Thunder's after,

I have to be there for him.

You should all go back.

Do I really have
to say it again?

D'Angelo?

No rider left behind, Kullersen.

And since all the dragons
seem to be following Thunder,

we're in, too. Come on, man.

I may be mad about
all the secrets,
