TOM: Buzzsaw's gotten really
good at snatching up dragons

and disappearing
into the Hidden World.

But he's gonna
slip up eventually,

and then we'll grab
the dragon book.

-Or he'll just continue
to outsmart you

every step of the way.

-Not helpful, Eugene.

- Uh, guys?

- What's goin' on over there?

-Oh boy.

- Calm down!
- Plow, Plow, Plow! Easy, girl!

ALEX: Feathers... Enough.

-Aw! Webs just wants to play.
Let ‘em all get the wiggles out.

-They got into
the general store.

You should really
keep a leash on them.

[sighs] Looks like mashed
Cheesy Loops for dinner.

-What happened?

I thought you were gonna keep an
eye on them until we got back.

- [grumbles]
- It's okay. It's okay.

We shouldn't have left
you guys alone for that long.

But you have to assert yourself,
pal.

[dragons screeching]

[chuckling] Keep workin' on it.

-Uh, guys? Buzzsaw might've
just come out of hiding.

Sensors are going off
in the Nature Realm.

-It's gotta be him.

-Riders! Mount up!

Time to get
the dragon book back.

-Right behind you!
Plowhorn is a mess.

[slurps] Mm.

[intense music playing]

[beeping]

-Those sensors
didn't set themselves off.

He's around here somewhere.

-I love how sure you are,
Tommy, even when you're wrong.

What? That was
a back-handed compliment!

[Plowhorn sniffing]

- Smell anything, Plow?
- [Plowhorn grumbles]

Guys, she's got something.

-Wait... listen.

[soft whirring]

[quizzical growl]

[whirring continues]

-Ugh, fine. You were right.
Get over yourself.

-Is he building more traps?

-Or perhaps
he's building lethal weapons

and we're walking to our doom.

- Okay, Buzzsaw. [gasps]
- [drill whirring]

Dr. Sledkin?!

-Ha! I was right!
It wasn't Buzzsaw!

ALEX: And Linda?

-Oh, uh, yeah.
I kinda work for her now.

Bennies aren't great,
but it beats unemployment.

-Did you really think
I wouldn't return

to claim what belongs to me?

-Nothing here belongs to you,
Sledkin.

-Oh, I beg to differ.

I discovered the unique
properties of Dragonsite.

That makes it mine.

-That's not true.
My mother discovered that.

-In conjunction with me.

Then she abandoned
the research to play zookeeper

while Icarried it over
the finish line.

I won't let Dragonsite's value
go to waste.

-We'll see about that.

-Please. You have no claim
to anything down here.

Now beat it.
I have important work to do.

-No way...
You're comin' with us.

-I knew something like this
might happen.

That's why I brought
along an insurance policy

to guarantee that my operation
would not be deterred.

What's so funny?

-Sweet, I suppose,

They're just animals.
They don't care about you.

-They're not just animals.
They're smart, emotional, and...

-You think they will save you?
Look, they've run off.

It's self-preservation.
Survival of the fittest.

The first law
of the animal kingdom.

You could all stand
to learn a little from them.

I am not going to bank

my survival on waiting around

for a bunch of scared
lizards to rescue me.

I think I know a way
we can get out of here. Look.

JUN: Linda's pack!

-News flash, Tommy.

That's out there
and we're in here.

-Well, we build a human ladder.

Alex climbs up and over,
throws us the rope,

then we climb to freedom,
and meet up with our dragons.

-But the wall is too high
for the five of us.

-Not five. Seven.

D'ANGELO [on recording]:
Are you crazy?!

-Do we need to remind you
of everything she's done to us

- and our dragons?!
- Okay, fine. I get it.

But she did find us safe cover
from the Glass Caster.

-Oh, yeah.
And that's worked out great.

-Don't forget the expl*sives!

-She does have a history
of trying to blow us up.

-I know, I know. But this time,
it was just a distraction.

Okay, probably. But, but, look,
if it wasn't for that,

we never would've found
this new realm.

-Again, that's worked out great,
by the way.

-What choice do we have?
We need them.

-For the record,
I don't trust her.

But I trust you.

from Norse Mythology.

It was said to be a strange land
of wealth and riches,

inhabited by large, nasty trolls

who forged weapons
in the fire and smoke.

-Or a large, nasty, troll-like
dragon that forges glass.

-Do you know what this means?

Whoever started the Norse myth
about the Nine Realms

was talking about
the worlds of dragons.

-Nine Realms? Fire. Ice. Giant!

-Today's realm makes seven,
which means...

-There are still two more left.
