- Huh?

Oh! Ah!

Ah! Ah! Okay!

Whoa! Whoa!

Ah!

Oh! Oh! Oh go--

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay!
Hey, hey, hey, stop! Stop! Stop.

You're alright. You're alright.

I'm not gonna hurt you.
Just don't hurt me. Okay?

What are you?

Where did you come from?

Why am I asking questions?

Okay, okay. You just stay right there.

Alright? And, uh, I'm gonna
look for a way out of here.

This place is incredible.

Huh.

Well, okay.

I'm just gonna see myself out. Ah!

Hey! Hey, that's my stuff!

Oh no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Here, take it!
Take it, it's yours! It's yours!

You want some water? Is that it?

I don't think anybody should
know about you right now.

Hey!

Hey!

Wha-- Don't! No, no, no, no, no, no, no...

Wait!

Oh!

Ugh...

Ah!

Sorry. That's all the Loops I got.

Wait a minute. You're hungry.

Okay, yeah.
I can bring you back something to eat.

Whoa! Oh, not again!

Oh, come on! Ah!

- There goes the power again.

Chief? Still no idea what's causing that?

- Hm...

- Oh!

Phew!

Whoa.

Hoo!

Ooh!

- Out for a late night stroll, Tom?

- Yes?

Mom. It's not what it looks like.

- I found him running around
near the fissure.

- Okay, it's exactly what it looks like.

- I don't even know what
to say to you right now.

I guess your new gritty hairstyle

is part of this rebellious
phase you're going through?

I thought I was clear when I said,
"Stay near the dome."

- You were, but--

- Wasn't I clear when I said,
"Stay away from the fissure"?

- Yes, but th-there's a--

- I don't care what there is, Tom.
Your life is worth more

than a cheap reckless thrill!

Maybe this'll get through.

If you fall into that fissure,
you will be gone forever,

and I don't know what
I would do without you.

- I'm sorry.

- From this moment forward, when you
are not in school, you will be here.

On weekends, you will be here.

If it's a holiday,
you will be here. Understood?

- Got it.

- Good. And if you go within


so help me, Tom,
I will stick you in the ICARIS jail.

- ICARIS has a jail?

- Chief Baker will build me one,

and don't think I won't ask,
and don't think he won't do it.

- Huh?

Hm.

- Tom, wake up.

It's the first day of school.

- Huh? Ah!

- Well, at least you're already dressed.

A benefit to sleeping in your clothes.

And, apparently, on your desk.

- Ow!

- They always said,
"Just wait till he's a teen."

But I never listened.

- Mm. My dad said

that kid is trouble with a capital T.

- Who? Kullersen?

He went back out
to the fissure last night.

Yeah. That platform
isn't even finished yet!

If he took a bad step,

he'd have to grow himself
some wings, real fast.

- Nine of swords.
Means you worry too much. Chill.

- Chill? I am totally chill.

Don't I look chill?

Why don't you talk?!

I thought we had an agreement, Kullersen.

You weren't going back to the fissure.

- I seem to be hearing this a lot lately.
- I warned you...

- No, you said you read my chart

and something big was gonna happen.
That's pretty vague.

- Did something big happen?

- Kinda, yeah. Maybe.

I don't know.

- Talk about vague.

- What do you think they're
talking about over there?

If they're plotting something, my dad
is gonna bust them big time.

Am I right?

I got a real bad feeling about this.

Nothing?! Okay...

- I think you saw something down there.

-
Okay yes, yes. I saw something.

- A moth? Very funny.

- It's not a moth!

Is it?
- You never could draw, Kullersen.

Too busy breaking your crayons.

- It's a bat, maybe?

Or-or-or a pterodactyl.

Some kind of flying dinosaur?

- Wait, for real?

It could be a dinosaur,

or a dragon!
- Thought you said it was a moth.

- Maybe like a moth-like dragon.

Round face, four legs, some fangs...

Ugh, needs better wings.

- I'm having flashbacks to kindergarten.

Dragons aren't real, Jun.

- Dragon stories have been
around for thousands of years,

in every country and culture.

They had to come from somewhere.
Dragons are real.

I'm sure of it.
Mm-mmm.

If dragons were real,
humanity would exterminate them.

Dragons would be hunted to the ends
of the Earth, chased down,

and turned into boots, belts, and burgers.

Big business would exploit them,

reducing them to
a tiny column of profit margins

on an endless spreadsheet of doom...

Let's face it. A real dragon
would end up a dead dragon.

- I liked it better when you didn't talk.

- Kullersen, wait up!

So, what are we gonna
do about your dragon?

- We're not doing anything.
And it's not a dragon.

- Will you just try to open your mind?

There's a whole world out
there that we don't understand.

Thunder? There's not a cloud in the sky.

- Okay, time to feed
a giant flying cave creature.

Mom! Hey, uh,
I thought you were at work.

- I was. I forgot some spreadsheets.

That's quite a lunch.

- Uh, yeah! Right.

Well, you can never eat
too many hamburgers.

- Guess not.
I might be working late tonight.

- H-hey, Mom, um, can I ask you something?

- Sure. What's up?

- What'll happen if we actually discover
something down in the fissure?

- Like what? A new mineral?

- Yeah. A-a mineral or a plant

or a new animal maybe...

- Discovering a new species?
That would be incredible.

- Yeah, we-we could study it, right?
You and me!

Figure out what it is
and where it came from.

- Imagine the science.
- It would be awesome!

- The Rakke Corp would
be very relieved, too.

- The Rakke Corp? What do you mean?

- Well, they've invested a billion
dollars into this expedition.

They're expecting us to find
something pretty big.

A new species would go a long way.

- So, you're saying whatever we might find
will just end up as a profit margin

on an endless Rakke Corp
spreadsheet of doom.

- That's pretty dark, boy-o.

- I thought we were here for science,

not to help Rakke Corp make money.

- What's this really about?

- Okay... Listen, when I was--

- This is Dr. Kullersen.

Yes, May, I agree.
The earthquakes are a problem.

I will be right there.

Gotta go. The Rakke Corp
wants an update immediately.

- Yeah. I bet they do.

Okay, got the food.

Now I just need to figure out where
the cave to that creature is.

Okay, maps.

Map to the secret cave.

Where are you...

Probably won't say
"map to the secret cave."

- Hi.
- Ah!

Where did you come from?

- I was born in Tuscaloosa.

- How long have you been standing there?

- Long enough to notice that even
with all these maps, you're still lost.

- Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm just checking out the caves
in the area. You know, because...

I like caves.
- I like caves, too.

They're dark.

But, those maps are useless.

When the fissure opened up,
it shifted everything around.

Might as well file them
with the map of Pangea.

- I hadn't thought of that.

Thanks, Alex.

- I have the new maps.

Drawn by the Rakke Corp's
own seismic cartographer.

- Wait, how did you get those?
- I didn't.

Cinnabot538 hacked them
off the ICARIS server.

- Well, do you think Cinnabot538
might be able

to send those maps to my phone?

- I think Cinnabot538

can do anything she wants.

- Your boy seems to have a hard time
following the rules, Dr. Kullersen.

- Look, this is a new situation for Tom.

It's gonna take some time,

but he is a good kid.

I'm beefing up security

around the station until I can figure out

what the heck is going on with the
electrical systems and alarms going off.

You don't think
Tom has anything to do with it?

- I didn't say that.
Just means more patrols,

which might help
your boy stay on the right path.

- Gotcha!

- Hello?

I'm back!

Huh.

Dinner time!

Come and get it!

Ah!

I brought you some food.

Huh.

The only creature on the planet
that doesn't like pizza.

Ah! Ah!

Hey!

There you go. Alright.
Now we're getting somewhere.

Or not. Oh no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no--

Ugh!

Hm. Guess you're not a fan of spaghetti.

Hm?

Huh?

Ah!

What the heck do dragons eat?

There's these. Frozen fish nuggets.

Ugh. Nobody likes frozen fish nuggets.

Alright. Fish. Dragons like fish.

Oh no, I-I'm good. I'm good.

If fish nuggets were
the last food on the planet,

I would happily starve. Mm!

Okay.

Thanks...

I think I'll save this one for later.

Uh...

Yum...

We're gonna split this whole
pile of nugs, aren't we?

Okay, that's it.

No, no. No more.

I can't do it. Not another nug.

I just ate one!

The last one's yours!

Alright, alright, alright.

Last one's mine. Just...

Just gimme a sec.

We did it. We're done. Phew!

Oh...

Ah!

So, what do you wanna do now?

Woo-hoo!

Oh...

Woo-hoo!

Woo!

Woo!

Yeah!

Woo-hoo!

Yeah!

This is amazing!

Earthquake? Whoa!

Watch out!

Whoa!

Oh!

Did you do that on purpose?

Whoa! Ah!

Blast those suckers! Yeah!

Watch out!

Alright, get us outta here!

Phew.

That was a big one.

Whoa...
