[squawking]
[chittering]
[Key] Whoo! This is so awesome!
We're flying on a wire!
-[groans]
-[Key] Wait. Is that even flying?
Look how high we are.
Lake Pelenalvir looks
like a little puddle.
[panting] And the river looks like…
Oh, a tiny river.
Hello down there.
Um, Key, we're all excited,
but you think maybe you can
take the rocking down a notch?
-[chuckles] Sure. Sure, sure.
-[groans]
-[inhales, exhales deeply]
-[Key squeals]
[groans]
[exclaims]
Oh! I can't believe
this is really happening.
[sighs]
Finally on my way
to becoming the Dragon Striker.
Just like my mom.
It's like destiny.
[sighs] I wish I felt that way.
I'm not even sure I should be here.
I mean, one lucky game doesn't
qualify me to be a banner player.
[Key] Are you kidding me, Ssyelle?
You were awesome in the All Stars game.
-[gasps] There it is!
-Huh?
-[student 1] Yeah!
-[giggling]
[gasps] Kal Asterock.
Wow.
[squawks]
-Can you believe this?
-[student 2 groaning]
We're at Kal Asterock!
[student 2 retches]
[students coughing]
[Key sighs] Whoa.
This place is epic.
Epic or intimidating?
Key. Welcome to Kal Asterock.
Oh, Sugoi, hey.
You are to address me as Goyen Sugoi,
just like the other students.
[chuckling] Right. Got it.
Goyen Sugoi. Hey,
do you know my friend Ssyelle?
-[Ssyelle] Hmm.
-She played in the All Stars game.
I am pleased you are joining us this year.
[sighs]
I look forward to seeing you
fulfill your potential.
And I look forward to ful…
[screams] Freki Sadarock!
The Shadow's striker.
His werewolf tama is killer.
I love you, Freki.
[grunts]
I mean, uh… [deep voice] What's up?
Um, I guess I'll go find my dorm room.
[Sugoi] Well, you definitely have
your mother's enthusiasm,
but clearly not her focus.
I… I don't really know
anything about her. Could you…
All you need to know
is that she worked very hard
to be the Dragon Striker.
And I expect you to do the same.
Yeah, well, I am ready
and dragon fired up.
[groans] Your tama
is not something to take lightly.
Learning to master it
will be the hardest thing you'll ever do,
but I will be here to help you succeed.
You've had a long journey.
Why don't you run along
to the Feasting Hall
and fill that empty stomach?
[chattering]
It should be right…
here.
[sighs]
[grunting]
[groans, sighs]
Here you are. Finally.
[panting]
[gasps]
[grunts]
[groans]
That's one way to claim a bed.
I guess I'm taking this one.
[grunts]
Hmm?
"Ameline." That must be you.
[gasps]
[yells]
[grunting]
Oh, you are here.
I'm your new roommate. Ssyelle.
Are you Ameline?
Okay.
I-I'm gonna go find the sign up
for the banner trials.
You know where that is? Hmm?
I guess not.
[stomach growling]
I know you want a sandwich,
but I can't find the Feasting Hall.
[groans] This place is a maze.
Huh.
Whoa.
[gasps] No way.
Raisa the Raging Sun's boots
from the 382nd championship.
[grunts]
-[adult] May I help you?
-Huh?
You are in the Goyen Council Chamber
where students are strictly forbidden.
So, I'll repeat.
-May I…
-[Key] Oh! You're Surya Sunspear!
[chuckles] I mean, uh, Goyen Sunspear.
The… The Bards' coach.
Oh. Do we have a fan on our hands?
Yeah.
Oh. [grunts]
[strains, chuckles]
The Bards are one of the most
underrated teams in the league.
You were robbed last year.
Allow me to alter my question.
[grunts]
Ha!
How may I help you?
[gasps] Well, I…
I'm-I'm looking for the Feasting Hall.
But now that I've found this place…
It's down the hall to the right,
two more rights, then a left.
I just got directions
from the Goyen Sunspear.
Thank you.
By the way, I'm Key Nagatatsu.
Future Dragon Striker.
[Sunspear] Nagatatsu?
As in Edina Nagatatsu?
Yep. She was my mom.
You know, Captain of the Dragons.
[Sunspear] I know
exactly what your mother was.
And if you so much as
put a toe out of line,
I will personally have you expelled
from this school.
-[grunts]
-[Key groaning]
[sighs] Guess he doesn't like the Dragons.
You know, it's time we knocked
the Dragons off their game.
-I know they're doing good…
-Nope.
-I really think the Roses…
-[Ssyelle] Huh.
-…have an excellent chance this time.
-Nope.
[groans]
[chattering]
This place is a maze.
[groans]
Oh, whoa. Sorry, I didn't…
[gasps] You're Tiffania Obolas!
Last season your passing success rate
was 87%.
Actually, 89%.
You're that girl
from the All Star game, aren't you?
Mm-hmm.
Sorry, I don't know your stats
or your name.
Oh, it's Ssyelle. [chuckles]
You know, we could use someone
like you on the Bards this year.
Wow. Really?
I mean, thank you.
-That's so…
-[door opens]
And…
you're gone and I'm alone ag…
[screams]
Oh, hey.
You decided to join me for the sign ups?
Okay.
You coming?
All right.
Things are looking up, my friend.
Let's get you a nice sand…
[both] Oh.
[both] Uh, excuse me. I just… Let me, um…
-[yelps]
-[yells]
Whoa.
[grunts]
[gasps] Jelly balls.
-Mmm.
-No, wait. Don't…
[groaning]
[chews]
[groans]
[coughs]
[retches]
[groans]
[groaning]
Oh. Hey, Ragno.
Didn't see you there. How's life?
I've been waiting to run into you
since the All Star game.
[groans] I've missed you too, buddy.
You wanna high five it out?
Something like that.
Oh, my gosh!
It's you!
The actual Dragon Striker!
Can I get your autograph?
Of course. See?
-I already have a fan.
-What? No.
I was talking to Ragno.
Oh, duh. Who the heck are you?
-I'm--
-A nobody.
[squeals, giggles]
Now, where were we?
-About to high five?
-No.
[Sugoi] There you are, Ragno.
I see you've met Key. Good.
I would like you to extend
your future teammate every hospitality
and give him a tour of the school.
Why, how thoughtful of you, Rags.
I would love that.
[sighs] Yes, Goyen Sugoi.
And might I remind everyone
that using magic
on school grounds is forbidden.
-[gasps]
-Oh.
Your powers are only allowed
in the Tama Gymnasium
-and on the Gorotama pitch.
-[chuckles]
[groans]
[Ssyelle] This painting looks familiar.
Did we pass it already?
Why am I asking you?
Might as well ask the painting.
[Key] Wow, thanks for that riveting
fact-filled tour of the bathroom.
Now I totally know how a sink works.
Do you ever stop talking?
Only if there's something
worth listening to.
Whoa. What is this place?
This is Banner Hall.
These are the banners of the four teams.
The Shadows. The Roses. The Bards.
And, of course, the Dragons.
[Key] Why is the Dragon's banner higher?
Because we're the champions.
Thanks to having me, the Dragon Striker.
But according to Sugoi,
I'm the Dragon Striker.
So, how's that gonna work?
There can't be two of us, can there?
-[Ragno groaning]
-Huh?
Eh, you're right.
Plenty of time to figure that out.
Hey, can you take me
to the Dragon's field?
Okay, guess I'll just go ask
my good pal, Sugoi, where it is.
-Hmm?
-[groans]
[Ragno] There it is.
The Dragon Eyrie.
No way.
You've gotta take me up there.
[scoffs]
Not a chance.
But Sugoi said…
That I have to give you a tour
of the school, not the Eyrie.
We're done here, farm boy.
[groans]
You know you're not gonna be so tough
once I learn to activate my tama.
You don't know how to activate your tama?
What? No. [chuckles]
Of course I can.
I could do it right here, right now.
But I don't wanna get
on the wrong side of Sugoi.
We wouldn't want that now, would we?
[scoffs]
[sighs]
Look, I'm happy to have the company,
but it would be really nice
if you could help with directions.
I know. We could make it a game.
Hot or cold.
Am I getting warmer?
Not even a nod? A head shake?
-[gasps]
-[students groaning]
[groans]
[stammers] Did you really just let me
walk into the boys' locker room?
-[student 3] Uh… [clears throat]
-Oh.
Hey, um, you're that rookie
from the All Star game, right?
You remember me as well?
[chuckles] Nice to meet you.
I really hope you get picked on the Roses.
[chuckles] Is this from your sap tama?
I heard this stuff never comes off.
-[chuckles]
-Oh, yeah.
I'm so sorry. [chuckles]
Bye.
-Wait! Do you know where the Banner tri…
-[door slams]
And you're gone too.
All right, Ameline,
looks like it's back to you and…
Huh? [chuckles]
[water splashes]
Bye.
[gasps]
[students laughing]
[Key] Oh, wow.
[student grunts]
[chattering]
[Key chuckles]
Wow.
-What kind of dunkle…
-[Key] Huh?
…uses a tama in the Feasting Hall
on their first day?
I'm sorry.
It just happens when I get nervous.
I'll try to do better.
You better.
Hey! Ease up on him, man.
And this concerns you how?
Because we go all the way back
to lunch, right?
What's your name?
M-Milo.
Milo. See, we're buds.
And buds stick together.
[whispers] I'm Key, by the way.
Oh, you're Sugoi's little project.
The kid with the dragon tama
who destroyed the Mestra's stadium.
You might wanna be more careful
with the buds you pick.
Stay out of my problems.
You've got plenty of your own.
[sighs] They do seem to be stacking up.
Whoa, thanks.
Nobody's ever stood up for me before.
Do you really have a dragon tama?
[gasps] Are you gonna
be the Dragon Striker?
Finally! Someone who gets it.
I wish I had a tama half as cool as yours
instead of my dumb jelly tama.
Are you kidding me?
Your tama is not dumb.
I have never seen anything like it.
It was awesome.
It's really gonna crush
at the banner trials.
No, I'm not trying out.
-What?
-I'd love to play on a banner team.
[sighs] I'm just not sure
I'm cut out for it.
I figured I'd join the swim team.
Oh, you are so wrong, my friend.
Can you imagine what your jelly tama
could do defensively?
Oh. Here we go.
Hey, Rags,
did we miss something on the tour?
Something like that.
Ondine, Behemot and I wanted
to invite you up to the Dragon Eyrie
to run some drills.
Help you practice for the trials.
Really?
'Cause you were fairly specific
about not wanting to take me up there.
Right.
But Sugoi did say every hospitality.
So meet at the skondola in ten?
[Key] Hmm.
I guess we've turned a corner.
See you there, Rags.
Hmm. Yeah.
Huh? Hey!
I am so glad to see a familiar face.
[chuckles] And an unfamiliar one.
This is Milo,
who happens to have
one of the coolest tama I've ever seen.
Jelly balls.
Just don't ask about the taste.
[Ssyelle] Uh, I won't.
Sounds like you have a pretty unique tama.
I bet you'll crush it at the trials.
Maybe I should give it a shot.
Maybe? Definitely.
We can all sign up together
if we can find it.
Even her?
[screams]
[sighs] So, guys,
this is Ameline, I think.
She's my roommate, I think.
Hey, you wanna come with us
to sign up… [gasps]
Yeah, she does that.
Unfortunately I'm out too.
Gotta, you know, practice
with Ragno and the Dragons.
Are we talking about the same
scarily vengeful Ragno
you humiliated in front
of the entire crowd
-at the All Star game?
-Yeah. Mm-hmm.
And you're going? Why?
Because he invited me up
to train on the Eyrie.
And you don't find that at all suspicious?
They've turned a corner.
We've turned a corner.
Besides, Sugoi's got my back.
What's the worst he can do?
I'll find you later
to tell you about the Eyrie.
Well, I hope he doesn't die.
Let the search resume.
[tweeting]
[Ssyelle] Nope. Pretty sure it's this way.
-[retching]
-[chuckles]
This is insane.
[gasps] And I thought
that other skondola was high.
[grunting]
And you guys get to do this every day.
So, who, like, cuts the grass up here?
Oh! Is it a groat?
Do you guys have a groat?
What makes the islands float?
Is it magic or gravity?
Should I be stretching?
[grunts, blows]
[grunts] Huh?
[clears throat] So, uh,
what are we gonna do up there?
Run some drills, uh, shooting practice?
You'll see.
[brakes squealing]
[grunts] Huh?
Whoa.
So this is where you played, Mom.
On this very stadium.
[groaning, grunting]
-[Behemot, Ondine laughing]
-[chuckles]
Might wanna watch out for that wind.
Yeah, you don't wanna go flying
into the abyss. [laughs]
-[Behemot, Ondine laughing]
-[Key grunting]
Come on, Key. You've got this.
[grunting]
Let's see if our future Dragon
can handle some simple passing drills.
[grunts]
What? Here? [yells]
[grunts, yells]
Oh. Ow!
[grunts]
Gonna have to be quicker than that.
We're just warming up.
[groans]
-Bring it.
-Hmm.
[grunting]
[grunts]
Come on, tama! Activate!
Dragon…
[groans]
[grunts, panting]
-[Ondine laughs]
-[gasps]
[both grunting]
Hey, when are we gonna
get to see that Dragon tama?
[both grunting]
[gasps]
[yells, grunts]
[Ondine] Better learn
how to use that wind.
-Fast. [grunts]
-[grunting]
[groans]
[groaning]
[Ragno grunts]
[grunts]
[screams]
[groans, panting]
[Ragno grunts]
[grunts, groans]
[grunts]
-[grunts]
-[yells, spits]
-[grunts]
-[groans]
[groans]
[grunting]
Come on, Dragon fire.
[grunts]
[grunting] Where are you?
[grunts, yells]
[breathes shakily]
[Ragno] His mom was famous or something.
-[grunts]
-[Ragno] He's a joke.
[gasps]
She probably was too.
[laughing]
[groaning]
Huh?
[straining]
[grunts]
Huh?
[grunts, yells]
How do you like my tama now?
[grunts, groans]
[yelps, grunts]
[grunts]
[yelps]
[grunts, panting]
-[yelping]
-Huh?
-What do you think you're doing?
-[gasps] Come on.
He's learned his lesson.
Almost.
If this future Dragon
wants to be on our Eyrie,
he's gotta earn it
by crawling his way onto it.
You're not a Dragon.
[scoffs] You're a worm.
-[groans]
-[Behemot, Ondine laughing]
[Ssyelle groans]
I don't recognize this place.
Where are we now?
Hey, at least we finally found
where to sign up for the trials.
So that's a win.
I don't even care anymore.
-I just wanna find my bed.
-Huh?
S-Shouldn't Key be with them?
Where's Key?
Oh, he wanted to hang out
on the Eyrie a bit longer.
[laughing]
I don't think they turned that corner.
-[Key screaming]
-[both gasping]
-[screaming continues]
-[Ssyelle gasps]
-We gotta get up to the Eyrie.
-[gasps]
[groaning]
[straining, gasps]
[screaming]
