Hey! Any luck deciphering

the Dark Realm page of the book?

We have to find it
before Buzzsaw.

-I know, Tom.
I'm doing the best I can.

-Hey, Jun. Any luck deciphering
the Dark Realm page of the book?

We have to find it
before Buzzsaw.

-Okay, where's the Dark Realm?
Let's hit it!

-[blows raspberry] I'm sensing
another epic Jun Bug fail.

-Look, guys, it's not as easy
as just reading from a book.

These are ancient runes
written a thousand years ago.

All it takes is a little smudge
and they become illegible.

-But you'resupposed to be

an expert
on all this dopey stuff.

That's our sibling balance.
I'm gorgeous, you're the nerd.

- Eugene!
- What?

That's what it says
on our birth certificates.

- TOM: Give her time!
- I'm going back to bed.

- Ugh, come on!
- Guys, stop!

I did learn somethings.

In Norse Mythology,

the Dark Realm is a creepy,
desperate place

sometimes known as Helheim.

-Sounds like a great spot
for a summer rental.

-This snake-like beast
drawn here must be Jörmungandr,

also known as the World Serpent.

The book claims it's the apex
predator to all dragons.

-The apex predator
to all dragons?

That explains why Buzzsaw
wants it so badly.

-It probably also explains
why dragons are afraid of eels.

Look at that thing!

-It must reside
in the Dark Realm.

If I could just
figure out this last rune,

I think it'll point us
in the right direction.

[sighs] I know I've seen it
in one of my myth books.

I-I've been looking all night!

-[coughs] Um, it isn't, like,
um, in the book with the weird

Viking boat on the cover, right?

No? Okay, good. Didn't think so.

-You used my myth book
as a coaster?

-Well, yeah. I didn't wanna put
a water circle on the desk.

- Thatwould be irresponsible.
- Ugh.

-New rule:
Eugene has to ask permission

before he does anything.

- Uh, can I object to that rule?
- ALL: No.

JUN: Guys!

I know where to find
the Dark Realm.

♪ ♪

-Okay. So, like,
this is the Dark Realm?

-I don't think so. This must be
some sort of passageway.

-Everyone,
just keep your eyes open.

Spiderwings
and Bubblehorns live here.

-Oh, great. So, we're flying
right through a meat grinder

so we can find the most
gnarly realm imaginable

just so we can be eaten

by a creature
I can't even pronounce?

-Don't worry, bro. I'm sure
Jörmungandr will spare you.

You smell a bit spoiled.

-Yeah, right. I smell like
victory sprinkled on perfection.

[sniffs] Ew.

-Can we stop sniffing ourselves
and focus?

If we don't figure out
a way past

the Spiderwings and Bubblehorns,

we won't even reach
the Dark Realm.

-Let's just do the opposite
of whatever Kullersen says.

-Oh, h*, h* that's nice.

Maybe you should
just start a new team

and make yourself the leader?

Oh wait, you already tried that.

-Hey, that would've worked
if it had worked.

-Enough!

Look, I know that Dragon Club
has been officially disbanded,

but this mission
is far too important

to let our bickering
get in the way

of stopping Buzzsaw.

So, I'm calling for a truce.

No more arguing
and no more fighting

until we stop Buzzsaw
from reaching the World Serpent.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

- You're right.
- Whatever.

-Good. Now stay on our wing.

We'll go low
to avoid the Spiderwings,

then fly over the watering hole
to dodge the Bubblehorns.
