Dragons: Rescue Riders: Hunt for the Golden Dragon

What are we doing out here? It's too cold.

If you ask me, boss is worried about nothing.

Who's going to try anything out here?

- - Huh?

Mm...

Huh?

Is that boat? - Yes.

I think it is.

Huh?

As I suspected.

I must get this to the Rescue Riders.

Huh?

Good morning, everyone,

wait till you try this new game I just learned.

Find the Southern Lobster.

So, where's the lobster?

Uh... That one?

Wow. You're good.

- Burple, where did you learn this game? - From him.

Hola, Rescue Riders.

Waldondo Del Mundo!

Team, grab him.

We are friends, no?

We are friends, no.

That tickles.

But this rude reception, it hurts me.

Hurts you? You tried to kidnap us last time we saw you.

Oh, to be fair, I was only after the dragons,

so it was really more of a dragon-napping.

- Does he think we forgot that? - Ah-ah-ah.

I am here to make it up to you, after you guess where the lobster is.

Don't waste your time. The lobster is behind his back.

How'd you know, Cutter?

It takes a trickster to catch a trickster.

Okay. Wrap him up. We're taking him to Marena.

The lobster?

No, you.

This is surprisingly comfortable.

She's behind us.

Wrong!

Huh?

- Liar. - Do-gooder.

Criminal.

Stick in the mud.

Betrayer of trust.

A spoilsport.

Why are you still wearing this? Wood is not a good look for you.

It made the little ones feel safer.

- That took longer than I expected. Ha, ha. - I was trying to be polite.

Mm.

They have a very weird relationship.

Marena, you're hugging him?

He tried to kidnap us.

Ah, he was really only after the dragons, so it was more of a dragon-napping.

I told you.

So, you just forgive him?

Dak, you must always forgive.

Mm.

But never forget.

What are you after this time, Waldondo?

Oh, querida. You wound me.

I am here to make amends.

To help save a dragon.

What?

It's true.

Have you ever heard of the Golden Dragon?

You mean the dragon that, according to legend,

only lays one egg every hundred years?

An egg that happens to be made of solid gold?

Ah, so, that is why you are here. You plan to steal it, Waldondo.

Not me. But this is the year the Golden Dragon is supposed to lay her egg.

And some very bad pirates have a map to her nest.

Have you ever heard of Erik the Wretched?

- A brute and a villain. - Huh?

He carries a huge hammer,

and he does not care who or what gets smashed

as long as he gets what he wants.

If this pirate has a map to the Golden Dragon and we don't,

how can we stop him from stealing the egg?

Well, I managed to obtain--

He means stole.

-a copy of that map.

- Huh. And it has a hole in it. - Sí, just like the original.

It's covered in riddles.

Aye. The story goes that many years ago,

a lover of dragons, not unlike yourselves, found the nest of the Golden Dragon.

He made a map, so he could return,

but to keep the location secret, he hid the directions in these riddles.

And now you want us to help you find the egg?

Yeah, we're not falling for that trick again.

No, no, no. This map is for you. You must save the dragon's egg.

What is going on here?

Oh, I am done with the adventurous life, querida.

I am going to settle down.

Perhaps be a fisherman.

My first catch.

If pirates really are looking for the Golden Egg...

The baby dragon inside is in big trouble.

Then it looks like we better head back to the Roost

and gear up for a treasure hunt.

- More like a dragon hunt. - Let's fly.

Good luck, Rescue Riders.

Be safe.

And trust no one.

That's a given when you're around.

Que? What did he say?

He said thanks for the advice.

That's not what he said, is it?

I doubt it.

Hmm.

There! That looks like the island on the map.

It also looks like someone beat us to it.

Look at the sail. Crossed hammers.

That could be Erik the Wretched's ship.

Hmm? Dragons!

Defend your ship!

Fire!

Don't let them escape! Yes! Good shot!

- Get the other one! He's up in the air! - Hold your fire!

Huh? - Don't you see the kids on those dragons?

These must be the legendary Rescue Riders.

Finally, we get some respect.

You there, come on down.

Let's do some bargaining.

Oh, come on. I guarantee your safety.

We won't attack you.

What do you think?

I'd rather talk than fight. But let's play it safe.

Aggro, Cutter, Burple, cover us.

Welcome to my ship, Rescue Riders.

I am Erik the Wretched.

We know who you are. Waldondo told us all about you.

Oh, he did, did he?

Well, he told me about you, too.

How you and your dragon pals helped him search for Odin's Gem.

Have you come to help me, too?

Not if you're after the egg of the Golden Dragon.

Which I am.

We're not going help you steal an egg from its mother.

In fact, we're gonna find that egg first and keep it safe.

Oh, really?

Come over here.

We're not changing our minds.

Really? No chance?

Oh, my.

This does put me in a bit of a pickle.

- Huh? - Well, I put a little show on for my crew.

"Argh, attack!" "Fight to the end," and all that.

But I really don't like fighting.

Can't we work something out?

No! We aren't going to help you steal the Golden Dragon's egg

so you can be rich.

Now, when you say it like that, it does seem a bit harsh.

How about this?

You help me steal the egg and I promise to...

probably give you the baby dragon inside it after it hatches.

Huh?

No? Not possible?

Total nonstarter?

Absolutely not.

Oh, this is unfortunate.

You see, I did promise my crew some golden booty.

You know, riches and whatnot.

Sure you can't help?

Just a little bit?

Teensy bit?

Eensy, teensy bit?

- No! - No!

Okay.

Attack!

Here we go! - Really sorry about this.

Fight to the end!

That should slow you down.

Uh-oh.

It's Burple from above!

- Fire! - Stay back! It's a trap!

It's Burple staying back!

If you are smart, you won't follow us.

Again, terribly sorry.

Let's go, crew!

"The golden path is where fortunes bloom.

The other three only lead to doom."

There it is, the golden path!

Let's go!

After them!
