[music ends]
-[player breathing heavily]
-Edina! Edina!
[Edina gasps]
-[explosion]
-[high pitched ringing]
[grunting]
We have to stop it.
[screaming]
-Hold! We can't allow the school to fall.
-[screaming]
It's too powerful. [gasps]
[gasps] Edina!
No!
I can't believe we're going to
the Mestras stadium. The stadium!
It's the coolest thing ever.
[sighs] Key, for the last time,
we're just delivering the squashes
then we're going right back to the farm.
Right. But we're gonna be there
at the same time
as Kal Asterock's best players
are playing a game. Like… wow.
[parent chuckles] Why are you so excited?
It's just an exhibition game
between a bunch of kids.
A bunch of kids?
Um, do you know how important
this school is to Gorotama?
The best players in the world
come from Kal Asterock.
[parent chuckles] Yes, you've
only mentioned it about a hundred times.
The Roses. The Shadows. The Bards.
And the best of them all…
The Dragons.
Yes, you've mentioned them as well.
But Dad, it's gonna be so cool
seeing the stadium.
[gasps] Maybe I'll even get a glimpse
of the game.
And Ragno takes the ball, he dribbles,
the defense is totally clueless.
He unleashes
his trademark Dragon Catapult Tama.
Soars majestically
into the sky and shoots!
Oh, the goalkeeper had no chance!
The Dragons score!
And the crowd goes wild.
Dragons! Dragons!
Dragons! Dragons!
Dragons! Dragons! Drag…
[yelps, grunting]
[shrieks, grunting]
-[Dad] Whoa.
-[sighs]
[groans]
-Pick up the squashes immediately.
-[grunts]
-I'm sorry, Dad.
-You know what?
There'll be no more talk of Gorotama.
Keep your mind on your work.
-[vehicle approaching]
-Huh?
-[grunting]
-Hmm?
You, peasant! Clean up this mess.
We're in a hurry.
-Peasant, huh?
-[gasps]
Didn't you hear me?
I said we're in a hurry.
Sorry. I don't take orders from people
who don't have any manners.
-I don't care for your tone.
-Oh, you want me to…
-[in deep voice] …try down here?
-Key!
[grunts]
[shrieks, whimpers]
Please, let him go.
He doesn't know when to stop
his mouth from flapping.
He should learn
how to speak to his betters.
Come on, Ragno.
We came here to crush the All Stars,
not some snotty peasant.
Let's get to the stadium.
The stadium? The All Stars?
Wait, you guys are the Dragons.
[gasps] And you, you're Ragno!
-[grunts]
-Oh, wow.
You guys are awesome.
Can I just say what an honor it is
to hang with you?
And you're using your dragon claw Tama.
This is the greatest day of my life.
Come on, Ragno. I'm hungry.
Let's get out of here.
Hey, wait, don't leave.
Can I get an autograph?
[grunts] Hmm.
I did try to tell you,
Gorotama players aren't worth your time.
That was so…
cool!
[chef] What do you mean
the squashes are ruined?
[grunts] My chest.
The stress. It's too much.
If I don't feed the players,
my reputation will be in ruins.
[breathing heavily] I need to breathe.
I-I'm so sorry, Tournefeuille.
I-I'll go back and get more squashes.
You will?
Well, suddenly I'm feeling much better.
But I should probably
avoid any heavy lifting.
Uh, just to be sure.
[sighs] Key, while I'm gone help
Tournefeuille with the squashes.
And under no circumstances are you
allowed anywhere near the stadium.
-Hyah!
-[animals grunt]
Please store these in the cellar,
under the bridge.
-Quick sticks.
-[grunts, sighs]
And under no circumstances are you
allowed anywhere near the stadium.
[grunts] So unfair.
-[gorotama player] Clock mas… Ow!
-Huh?
[panting]
[exhales deeply, grunts]
Clock master… [groans]
[groans] I wasn't ready.
[grunting, screaming]
[whimpering, screaming]
-Need some help?
-Huh? [grunts]
[stammering]
-And who would you be?
-Sorry.
I just, um, heard a noise and saw
you're one of Kal Asterock's players
and, and…
Can I get your autograph?
You-you want my autograph?
-Please?
-Okay.
Whoa, the way you took
that ball to the face old school.
It was so cool.
Oh, it was nothing.
Just what we Gorotama players do.
"Ssyelle."
-What, um, team do you play for again?
-Hmm?
Hey, can I see your Tama?
My Tama? No. No can do.
Like, that would be, um,
totally unethical and against the rules.
I mean, definitely a big, big, no-no.
Oh, but, please.
My dad banned me
from going to the stadium.
This might be my only chance to see an
actual real life Gorotama star in action.
Well, um, just, like, once. Okay?
-Are you ready?
-[grunts]
Clock…
Master!
Whoa.
[distorted] It's frozen in time.
It's working.
-It is? [screams]
-Hmm?
-[shrieks]
-[gasps]
[roars]
[passersby screaming]
This is very, very bad.
[humming]
Ah! Perfection.
My best yet. Huh?
[growling]
[screaming]
[sighs]
[both panting]
-I assume this is your doing.
-Huh?
I gave you one job, Ssyelle,
collecting lemonages for the players
and what do you do?
You cause this mess.
-Well, I--
-It was my fault the Donkeybugs stampeded.
Then you need to
clean this up immediately.
And as for you,
you're grounded for the rest of your life.
[inhales sharply, groans]
You didn't have to do that, you know?
I know.
-I did ask you to show me your Tama.
-About that…
I'm not really a Kal Asterock player.
Yeah. I figured.
I am going to be starting
as a first-year though.
-Hmm?
-[footsteps approaching]
Wow. All the players are here.
[gasps]
Et voilà!
My famous, flavorful yet nurturing
soup à la Tournefeuille.
Out of my way, losers!
I'm famished.
Hey, is that Pregrina Freaks,
the famous Shadow's keeper?
More like the infamous.
Her Tama is the most terrifying
the school has ever seen,
which is why no one gets in her way.
[screaming]
Hmm? [sips]
[screams]
[breathing heavily]
Looks like Pregrina ate
almost the entire jar of Firespice.
There's no way she'll be able to play.
-We'll have to cancel the game.
-[all gasp]
But surely you have a substitute?
No. Pregrina's so crazy no one
else will volunteer for the team.
Ssyelle should stand in.
-Huh? What?
-She's a great keeper.
Why is this bumpkin here?
How dare you even suggest that someone
as common as this girl should play?
She's gonna be at Kal Asterock next year.
Who do you think you are
talking about her like that?
I don't like your attitude.
It's time I taught you a lesson.
Oh, are you gonna start
teaching a class in being a doofus?
-[Ragno grunts]
-[teammate] Now, now, Ragno.
No one in their right mind would
play an untested rookie against us.
Actually,
I think that's an excellent idea.
You're not serious?
She's never played competitively.
-We're throwing the game away.
-[groans]
If you have a better idea,
then I'd love to hear it.
[gasps, grunts]
Make sure your team is ready, Mara.
I don't care who's on that field.
The game goes ahead.
Suit up. Game starts in an hour.
What? Seriously?
Well, this is all very well and good,
but who is going to
hand out the lemonages?
-Hmm.
-[chuckles]
[announcer] Welcome Gorotama fans
to the game you've all been waiting for
-between Kal Asterock's finest players.
-[crowd cheering]
Get ready for the winners
of the Banner's Helm.
The Dragons.
And a selection of
this season's best players.
The All Stars.
[cheering]
Oh. Hey. [stammers]
-I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
-[groans]
It's just so amazing!
Casper, Callista, we have to defend
like our lives depend on it.
We'll make sure they
don't get near the goal.
-Copy that.
-Wow.
That's really considerate.
I'm not doing it for you.
[scoffs]
Just try not to mess it up too much.
Okay, guys.
Great. Great team talk. [chuckles]
-[whistle blows]
-[commentator] Here we go!
Casper and Callista, the bard twins,
are rocking as usual!
These guys are really flying!
Earth Quake!
Wow. These guys are great.
[grunting]
Dragon Catapult!
Okay, here goes.
Hurricane Strike!
Clock…
[whistle blows]
-[commentator] The Dragons have scored!
-[crowd cheering]
I'm so sorry, guys.
This is a lot harder than it looks.
Guys?
[commentator]
And the All Star players look devastated.
-Huh?
-Boo Dragons!
You suck!
[crowd chuckling]
[whistle blows]
Water Cannon!
[grunts] Dragon Catapult!
Oh, please, please, please.
Plea… [grunts]
[commentator] What a catch!
Looks like Ragno underestimated
his opponent's determination.
Wow, she has talent.
Kind of.
-[Key] Yay! Whoo-hoo!
-[groans]
Go, Ssyelle!
[chuckles]
Magic Mirror!
-[gasps]
-[grunting]
[grunts] Earth Quake!
Hey!
[commentator]
Odward mesmerized Anansi and the crowd.
The All Stars are back in the game.
-Yay! Go All Stars!
-[crowd cheering]
[grunts]
Oh, you wanna bring it? Then bring it!
[exclaims, grunts]
Dragon Catapult!
Which way? Which way? [grunts]
[commentator] And there she goes again.
-Ragno must be furious.
-[laughs]
Once I can understand,
but twice is getting sloppy.
She didn't even use her Tama.
Old school. Face-plant.
I love it.
[mumbling] What happened? Did I save it?
[grunts]
Throw everything we have at her.
But she's a rookie. It's dangerous.
Just do it.
-Earth Quake!
-[grunts]
-Hurricane Strike!
-[grunts]
-Water Cannon!
-[grunts]
[commentator]
They just can't get past this keeper.
That's gotta hurt the Dragons…
Oh, but it looks like it's hurting
the All Stars keeper even more.
-[whistle blows]
-And that's the halftime whistle.
Yay! Go, Ssyelle.
I knew you were an All Star.
[mumbling] I think I'm gonna take
a lie down over there somewhere.
Here. Have a refreshing glass of lemonage.
Hmm. Lemonage.
Well, gotta get back to work.
Good luck out there.
We're taking the keeper out of the game.
We need to end this charade
once and for all.
She's making us look stupid.
I don't know. I think she's kind of cool.
She's just lucky.
We have to make sure her luck runs out.
-Let's hit her with Dragon Fury.
-[Dragons gasp]
It's way too dangerous.
Remember the last time you used it?
You were suspended.
We can't afford to lose
you when the season starts.
Dragon Fury!
-[gasps]
-[Dragons player] Chill, bro. Just saying.
Oh no. I gotta warn Ssyelle.
[commentator] The second half is underway.
Will the All Stars manage to keep
soaking up the pressure from the Dragons?
Earth Quake!
Water Cannon!
You have to do something.
He's gonna use the Dragon Fury.
She won't be able to handle it.
Get out of here, kid.
He can use whatever Tama he likes.
[grunts]
Dragon Fury!
[commentator] Ragno is using his
Dragon Fury Tama in an exhibition game?
The All Star keeper must've
really gotten under his skin.
Clock…
Master!
[roars]
[whimpers]
[gasps] Ssyelle.
No!
[shouts]
Hyah!
[commentator]
Well, we've never seen anything like it.
-The pitch has been completely destroyed.
-Hmm.
I don't know how they're
gonna continue this game.
What are we even doing?
Huh?
[growling]
[panting] Are you okay?
[grunts] Ow. No, no.
I don't think I am.
I could've totally handled that, you know.
Maybe. But thanks.
I… I'm sorry I didn't--
It's a really cool Tama
you got there by the way, Keith.
It's Key.
Oh, I'm sorry. I was hit in the head
like a zillion times.
You'd have done the same for me.
You're going to be a legendary keeper
one day.
I'm sorry. I just hate seeing people cry.
It makes me cry.
-[Key] I… I'm not crying.
-Yeah.
Right. [cries]
Wow. That was intense.
Looking forward to seeing you
on the field next year.
[chuckles]
[Dad] Hey, I brought you something to eat.
How you feeling?
Well, less crispy.
Key, this is no laughing matter.
You deliberately disobeyed me
and went to the stadium.
You don't understand.
You could've been killed.
Technically,
you told me to help Tournefeuille, so…
[sighs]
Do you realize the trouble you've caused?
They had to cancel the game.
I hope you've learned your lesson.
Oh, Dad, definitely.
I am never gonna
think about Gorotama again.
-Like, ever.
-[knocking on door]
Huh?
Okay, so, how'd I do that again?
Dragon Wings!
Dragon Fire!
Dragon Lord.
Aw, come on.
[shouts]
You.
Aren't you going to invite me in, Dino?
[grunts]
I came here to talk about Key.
The answer is no.
Still as stubborn as ever.
If Key doesn't learn to use his Tama,
it could be fatal.
He might not be so lucky again.
You know that as well as I, Dino.
I can handle my son's Tama.
[sniffs] Do you smell burning?
-[Key] Yes.
-[gasps]
[Key] No, no, no!
-[blowing]
-Key!
Huh?
Uh. There's, uh, no need to panic.
What was that about never
thinking about Gorotama again?
Oh, Dad, come on.
We both know I'm totally obsessed with it.
He's a dragon striker.
Like his mother.
Wait. Did you just say
I'm a dragon striker like my mom?
You haven't told him about his heritage?
About Edina?
How she led the Dragons
to win the Banner's Helm?
How she gave her life for the school?
What? Dad?
[sighs] We'll talk about this later, Key.
It's clear that the same magic that flowed
within your mother's veins is within you.
-He should come to Kal Asterock.
-[gasps]
Attend the trials and join the Dragons.
It is his destiny.
I don't want him anywhere near that place.
If he doesn't learn how to use his Tama…
Well, you know
just how dangerous that could be.
[grunts]
Dad, please.
I want to go to Kal Asterock
and be a dragon striker.
[sighs]
-I won't stop you.
-So I can go?
Well, you're not going anywhere
till you fix the roof.
-[Key] Whoa, I will totally do that.
-Key!
-And Dad, can I just say…
-Key.
Key! Your hair's on fire.
