Mowgli's Mother (V.O.): Our home is a tiny little planet, floating all by itself in the vast space of the universe. There are many animals living on this planet, all doing their best to survive. But what most don't realize is that there are even more animals within the planet, struggling to survive. For you see, our world is more than just the surface, there is a vast underground world located at the center of the Earth. It is a world full of powerful beasts and dangerous landscapes.
(At the jungles of the Hidden World, a group of people are studying its ecosystem. This consist of baby Mowgli and his parents, a 35-year-old Australian rifle-user named Arlo, a 24-year-old radio operator named Jordan, a 56-year-old cryptozoologist named Bernard, a 32-year-old paleontologist named Sarah, a 46-year-old archaeologist named John, and a 18-year-old Japanese photographer named Hideyo, a 37-year-old geologist named Lamar, a 22-year-old lookout named Ben.)
Mowgli's Mother: But even this strange alien place is not untouched by man. For man whether motivated by greed or wanderlust found a way into this world.
Jordan: You can say that.
Mowgli’s Father: Now, now, my dear. I think that’s a little difficult for him to understand. *notices Mowgli asleep* Oh look, he’s falling asleep. Sound asleep in the middle of a jungle miles from civilization. He’s still too young to be afraid of anything.
Mowgli’s Mother: Our boy is going to be a friend of this world and its creatures. When he grows up, I’m sure he’ll carry on a work in protecting nature.
Mowgli’s Father: Now let’s go collect some soil and water samples while he’s still sleeping.
Mowgli's Mother: *picks up the crib and brings Mowgli to the tent* Have a good sleep, my child. The air and water seems so fresh and pure in here, don’t they?
Mowgli’s Father: I won’t be able to answer that, and telling analyze the samples back to the University. There’s no telling what kind of radiation this place holds.
(Unknown to the team, two Terrible Terrors sneak into the camp and went inside a tent. Mowgli then wakes up to see the Terrors. Mowgli stands up, but fell out of his crib and reached out to the Terrors, but the two small dragons ran away. Mowgli stands up and chased after them into the jungle. Elsewhere at a cave, Shere Khan's voice is heard.)
Shere Khan: I smell humans. I hate humans. Tabaqui!
(Tabaqui arrives with a few Velociraptors.)
Tabaqui: Yes, Shere Khan?
Shere Khan: I smell a human in the jungle, go and find him.
Tabaqui: But-but... you wouldn’t catch a human, would you? It is against our law. It is against the Law of Gaia.
Shere Khan: I am at the laws of my hunting grounds. Now go!
Tabaqui: Yes Shere Khan. I understand.
(Meanwhile, Mowgli is still chasing the Terrible Terrors, but his tunic got stuck. Mowgli ripped off his tunic and continued chasing them. The baby tripped on something which turns out to be the python, Kaa.)
Kaa: *coils Mowgli and lifts him* Well, well, a little man-cub.
Mowgli: *reaches out to Kaa*
Kaa: Stop doing that, you hear? Where have you come from?
Mowgli: *opens Kaa's mouth and pulls his tongue*
Kaa: Cut that out!
(Kaa slithers away but Mowgli held into the python's tail.)
Kaa: You're just a nuisance. *throws Mowgli off* Now run along home.
(Before Kaa leaves, Mowgli started crying which annoys the python.)
Kaa: *waves his tail* Here, stop screaming with that awful voice of yours.
Mowgli: *grabs Kaa's tail*
Kaa: So you like that, eh? Well, just try and behave yourself. You're a very lucky that I'm a good python or you wouldn't be here right now.
Baloo: There's no such thing as good pythons and bad pythons. It depends on whether your stomach is empty or full.
Draco: Indeed, but let us not forget snakes are also known for their unpredictability.
Kaa: Ah, Draco. It is true, but again, why would hunt humans for?
Baloo: So this is the man-cub, I've never seen one up so close before.
Draco: My grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather once roam the sky, seeing humans. I've never seen a human infant before.
(Mowgli sees the dragon and sloth bear nose which makes them fall back, and falls on their rears. Mowgli presses his head against Baloo’s soft furry body. Then he falls asleep.)
Baloo: Aw, cute little critter isn’t he?
Draco: So cute I can’t stand it.
Kaa: All animals are cute when they’re cubs. But he’ll be a danger to the jungle when he grows up.
Baloo: I’m afraid you’re right, his parents must be looking for him.
Draco: If anything their scared half to death for their wee one.
Kaa: That’s a good idea, go ahead.
Draco: Kaa, wait! Where the devil are you going?!
Kaa: He's yours now. You can do what you want.
Baloo: But w-we don't what to do with him.
Kaa: I'll go and find Bagheera. He knows a lot about human creatures.
Draco: Promise us that you'll bring him right back. And you won't fall asleep on the way, would you?
Kaa: I'll try not to.
Baloo: A little boy.
Back at the camp
Mowgli’s Mother: My little boy! Where is he? Where is he?!
Mowgli’s Father: What’s the matter? Isn’t he here?
Mowgli’s Mother: I left him sleeping in the tent in his crib!
Muldoon: He must’ve wandered off into the jungle.
(Elsewhere, a herd of buffalo are grazing but one of them makes a bellowing call and they run, but one gets suck and falls to the marshes and drowns, then Bagheera the black panther emerges and roars. Then Geoff the stableboy with a desire of being a knight and Drake the son of Draco arrive with a net.)
Bagheera: Who's that?
Kaa: Hello there, Bagheera. Nice to see you. And it's a pleasure to you see too, Geoff.
Geoff: What is it, Kaa?
Kaa: We found a man-cub here in the Hidden World.
Drake: A human?
Kaa: That's right. Baloo and Draco have him now, but we should get him out of the Hidden World before he causes trouble. We thought you might know what to do.
Bagheera: Because I was once looked after by humans while Geoff and Drake are lower class?
Kaa: Yes. But in spite of that, everyone in the Hidden World thinks humans are a friend.
Bagheera: I don't need any friends.
Kaa: Now, Bagheera...
(Then a flock of birds and small flying dinosaurs were scattering in the air.)
Kaa: Shere Khan.
Bagheera: Yes. I think your man-cub is already causing trouble.
Kaa: Now what?
Bagheera: Find the cub's parents before Shere Khan does, and chase them out of the Hidden World. *runs off*
Geoff: Come on, Drake, let's meet up with Baloo and Draco. *mounts on Drake*
Kaa: What about the cub?
Geoff: Bagheera have other things to think about. Don't worry, we'll settle this situation.
(Geoff and Drake flew off as Kaa sighed in dismay.)
Kaa: Why does everything always happen at once?
(Baloo and Draco look at the scattering flock, meaning that Shere Khan is here. Then Geoff and Drake arrive and met up with Baloo and Draco.)
Geoff: We got here as soon as we could. What's the trouble?
Baloo: I'm afraid Shere Khan is coming.
Draco: Geoff, Drake, we have to move. We must get the boy to safety. If Shere Khan finds him, then God help us.
(The team searches for Mowgli but to no avail.).
Mowgli’s Mother: Where is my son? Where is he? Mowgli!
Mowgli’s Father: Where are you?
Mowgli’s Mother: Mowgli!
Muldoon: Shh! I’d be quiet if I were you two.
Mowgli’s Mother: Why?
Muldoon: Because... we are being hunted.
Mowgli’s Father: Dear Lord.
Muldoon: You and the rest of the team head back to the camp. I’ll try and slow down whatever is trying to hunt us. Go now!
(With that, the team dart off as Muldoon readied his rifle. Muldoon sees in the distance of a large 500 pound tiger, coated in scars from battles past. He takes off his hat and puts it down, then he unfolds his weapon’s butt carefully and quietly to avoid being detected all while he sweats. As he takes aim, a raptor appears beside him, hissing at the hunter.)
Muldoon: Clever girl.
(But the raptor pounces and devours Muldoon as he screams in pain. Shere Khan watches this with a pleasured expression. The rest of the team ran while Bagheera watches over them.)
Bagheera: Where is Shere Khan? He must've given up the chase.
(As the team catch their breath, the moonlight reveals Bagheera which scares them.)
Mowgli's Father: A black panther! Go away!
(Although Bagheera meant no harm, Mowgli's mother slipped down as she and her husband fell to their deaths. The panther look down in shock, so is the team.)
Bagheera: Oh dear, how terrible.
(Mowgli is riding on Baloo's back with Draco, Geoff and Drake beside him. Tabaqui suddenly blocked their path.)
Tabaqui: Where are you and Draco off to, Baloo?
Baloo: Tabaqui, out of our way. We're in a hurry.
Tabaqui: *licks his chops* Well, well, so that's what a man-cub looks like.
Draco: Listen, you inbred spawn of a hyena. If I catch you again, I'll happily burn you alive.
Baloo: Geoff, you and Drake take the man-cub someplace safe.
(With that, Geoff and Drake took Mowgli with him. Tabaqui goes after the duo but Baloo stops him.)
Baloo: No, Tabaqui, I won't let you attack humans in the jungle.
(As the two growled, Baloo noticed Shere Khan. The bear tried to stop him, but Tabaqui intervenes. At the den, young Akru and Sura are suckling from Luri's teat. Then they hear bushes rustling. Alexander growls and thinks it was a predator, but it turns out to be Geoff and Drake carrying Mowgli.)
Alexander: Geoff, Drake, what are you doing here?
Geoff: We were... hanging around until me and Drake heard of a man-cub.
Alexander: A man-cub?
Luri: Poor thing, he must have lost his way.
(The baby walks up to Luri and touches her nose.)
Luri: He isn't frightened at all.
(Then the man-cub pulls Sura and begins to suckle Luri's teat.)
Luri: Look, he's feeding, just like our own two cubs are.
Alexander: He certainly is a hungry little fella.
Luri: Isn't he though?
(Suddenly, they hear Shere Khan's roar.)
Alexander: Uh oh. That sounds like Shere Khan. Get the pups inside the lair, Luri.
Luri: Yes dear.
(As Alexander makes a stand, Luri leads the boy and her pups into the lair while Geoff and Drake hide behind the bushes. Then Shere Kahn pounces from the bushes.)
Shere Khan: I smell a man-cub. I come to clam my prize.
Alexander: This is not your hunting ground. Get out of here!
Shere Khan: I tracked him here, I want him.
Alexander: You're not getting him!
Shere Khan: How dare you disobey me! HOW DARE YOU! GIVE ME THAT MAN-CUB!!!
Alexander: No I won't. From now on, he's part of my family.
Shere Khan: Your family?
(Then the tiger hears Kong roaring.)
Alexander: Go away now. Leave us alone, Shere Khan.
Shere Khan: I'm warning you, Alexander, I'll make you pay for this. That man-cub belongs to me! I'll never give him up! *roars and leaves*
Luri: Do you really mean we can keep him?
Alexander: You've already decided to keep him, haven't you, dear?
Luri: Oh yes. I want to.
(Later, a clan of wolves, lions, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans gather at the meeting held by Akela, Panja the white lion and Kimba's father, and Koro the Master of Birds and Noa's father. Among the meeting are the dragons of the City of Wyrmcrest and the peaceful Iwi tribe.)
Akela: So you want to adopt this man-cub into our clan?
Wolf: Man is not a wolf!
Wolf 2: He’s bound to cause a lot of trouble!
(Animals muttering.)
Draco: Shere Khan was hunting him. So the wee one’s parents must be dead. God rest their souls.
Alexander: You know very well what would happen to him now.
Akela: Yes, but Shere Khan would cause trouble.
Wolf 3: Yes. Let’s throw the boy in the river!
Alexander: *growls at the wolf*
Wolf 3: *gulps nervously*
Akela: Let us make a decisions in quarters with the law. As you know, he needs two recommendations of the clan and possibly four just to be precise. Not counting his adoptive parents, of course. Before we can even consider accepting him as one of us. Who will recommend him? Speak up!
Baloo: So the man-cub is safe. I would be more than happy to give him my recommendation.
Geoff: Well, so am I. I hope I could teach him about picking a dragon.
Seeonee Clan: *grumbles*
Akela: Silence! Baloo and Geoff are good friends. They teach our young the law of the jungle. We should listen carefully do anything they have to say.
Baloo: Thank you very much Akela. Listen everyone, a man-cub will not harm us. I can assure you, all he wants to do is play like our wolf pups, lion cubs, and ape younglings. And as you can clearly see, he no fangs and dull claws. There is no reason at all to for you to be afraid of him.
Geoff: How many times has been told, humans want to coexisted with creatures such as us. But as time went on, they forgot their ways, even the ways of the Almighty Creator himself. I think that this is one of the many chances humanity can be redeemed. If we teach him the wisdom of the ages, there’s a chance that he could teach this to other humans.
Virgil: Um, Akela, may I say something?
Akela: What is it, Virgil?
Virgil: What if I teach the boy about human history and evolution since the apes' servitude to Atlantis?
Akela: I must say, Virgil, teaching the man-cub about history and evolution might be unusual. But we might need another recommendation.
Bagheera: May I speak?
Akela: Bagheera, what brings you here?
Bagheera: I have no right to speak at your meeting. But according to the law, the pack isn't entitled to accept a gift of fresh game in exchange for a stranger.
Akela: That is correct, Bagheera.
Luri: What will you do with the man-cub?
Bagheera: I am sure Baloo and Draco will take care of him. Won't you?
Baloo: Us?
Bagheera: Will you trade him for a water buffalo?
Seeonee Clan: Huh?
Akela: Be quiet. But why, Bagheera?
Bagheera: I'm afraid his parents have perished.
Akela: Did you catch them?
Bagheera: No, but it was all my fault.
Seeonee Clan: *gasps*
Draco: Now everyone, Bagheera was trying to stop Shere Khan from hunting humans in the jungle. And you know why he did it.
Alexander: You didn’t want to bring trouble to us here in the jungle. Isn’t that right, Bagheera?
Bagheera: I did what I felt like!
Baloo: Now, Bagheera, you don't have to be so modest. What Alexander said is quite right.
Bagheera: What's your answer? Do you accept the exchange or not?
Alexander: Akela?
Akela: I'm listening. Bagheera is a good friend who acted for the good of the Hidden World. We will spare the life of the cub for his offer of game. Anyone who objects must come up here.
(The clan did not object.)
Akela: Now this man-cub can be admitted as a true member of our pack. But what will we call him?
Bagheera: I heard what his parents call him. It was Mowgli.
Luri: Mowgli. That's a nice name. Go on, Mowgli. Thank Baloo, Bagheera, Geoff and Virgil.
(Mowgli mounts Bagheera and rides him. Mowgli, Bagheera, Akru and Sura ran toward a cliff as the Sun rises. Six years later, Mowgli, Geoff and Drake are attacked by a pack of wendigos. Unexpectedly, a dragon with a gorgonopsid-like appearance, leopard-like build, and smilodon-like fangs called a Saberfang Striker appears and drove the wendigos away. Encouraged by Geoff, Mowgli befriends the Saberfang Striker and named him Prowler. Eventually, Mowgli learned the arts of dragonriding. Another four years later, Prowler, Akru, Sura, Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Chomper and Ruby are running through the jungle with Mowgli catching up.)
Littlefoot: Come on, Mowgli!
Cera: Seriously, my grandma can run faster than you, man-cub!
Mowgli: Guys, you’re going to fast for me!
Sura: I’m holding back as much as I can!
Akru: Come on, we’re almost there!
Ducky: Yep, yep, yep, you can make it. All you have to do is believe in yourself.
(Mowgli picks up speed, but isn't fast. As Prowler, Akru, Sura, Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Chomper and Ruby reach the lair, Mowgli climbs up the tree.)
Mowgli: You can't beat me at tree climbing. Except Prowler, he can fly.
Sura: Mowgli, if you can't run fast, you'll never be a real hunter.
Akru: If you can't be a real hunter, you'll never be a real wolf.
Luri: Mowgli.
Mowgli: Mother.
Luri: What are you doing here? You promised to meet Bagheera.
Mowgli: Oh yeah, that's right, I forgot.
(Mowgli and Prowler ran off to meet Bagheera.)
Luri: As usual.
Prehistoric Pals, Akru, Sura: *laughs*
Luri: So tell me, is Mowgli running any faster than before?
Chomper: He's not as fast as other wolves.
Littlefoot: Maybe he needs a little more practice, but he's gonna be a good wolf.
Sura: Right, all he needs is work. Come on.
Prehistoric Pals, Akru, Sura *runs off*
Luri: He was such a tiny man-cub.
(Luri remembered how Geoff and Drake brought Mowgli to her and Alexander. Mowgli climbing a tree with Bagheera watching him. Mowgli slowly draws closer to a bird, as his black panther teacher watches. But when he catches the bird, it flies away and he falls into the pond.)
Bagheera: Mowgli, I've told you before, you must hang on tight when you're up in tree.
Mowgli: But Bagheera, it's not that easy. I don't have strong claws like you do.
Bagheera: That's enough. My time is precious and I'm not going to waste it listening to your complaints.
Mowgli: Alright then, forget it. I'll go practice on my own. *runs off*
Bagheera: Mowgli, wait.
(Then Baloo, Draco, Geoff and Drake arrive.)
Geoff: Looks like you're having a tough time trying to train him, huh?
Bagheera: Tough isn’t a word for it. If you only knew.
Baloo: Why do you keep doing it?
Bagheera: Because Mowgli insist to hunt like us.
(High in the tree, Mowgli tries to grab another bird but the branch breaks and he falls and swings on a vine only to snap and he falls but is saved by Kaa.)
Mowgli: Oh, Kaa.
Kaa: I know you’re anxious to learn, but don’t you think you’re overdoing it?
(He lowers himself down to the ground and Mowgli gets off.)
Mowgli: I’m sure glad you were there Kaa.
Bagheera: Next time you’re going to get hurt.
Draco: Laddie, why do you keep trying so hard?
Mowgli: Because I made a promise to my father.
Drake: You mean Alexander?
Mowgli: Yes. That I become a brave in worthy wolf.
Bagheera: That’s fine, but you have to learn to listen!
Mowgli: I’m sorry.
Geoff: Bagheera, there’s no point in shouting. Mowgli, you must understand Bagheera, only shouts because he’s worried about you.
Bagheera: Me? Worried? Why should I worry?
Mowgli: I know, I won’t do it again. Bye. *runs off*
Bagheera: Mowgli, where are you going?!
Mowgli: To keep my promise to Father!
Baloo: Mowgli made a promise to Alexander.
Draco: He shouldn’t keep promises, he can’t live up to. Nor should’ve Alexander told him that promise. God rest his soul.
(As the sun was setting, Mowgli was in a tree limb over a lake remember the last time of his wolf father. A flashback where Alexander suffered great wounds and was an inch away from death.)
Alexander: Mowgli, promise me, you’ll become a brave and worthy wolf. And always take care of your mother... *dies*
(Flashback ends to the present. Later that night, the wolves, lions and apes gather at the meeting.)
Sura: Mother, I can’t find him or Drake and the others anywhere.
Luri: Oh no, not again.
Akru: I told them at least three or four times. There was a meeting of the council tonight. They’re just gonna get into more trouble.
Sura: Shall I go looking for them, Mother?
Luri: Yes, if you can find them before Akela starts talking.
Akela: Listen everyone.
Akru: It's too late now.
Akela: I've called you all here because Shere Khan who has been peaceful until now has begun to cause trouble with a band of Velociraptors he's gathered around him. I'm warning every member of the pack of the danger on the other side of the Kuwano River in Shere Khan's territory.
(Mowgli, Prowler, Geoff, Drake, Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Chomper and Ruby try to sneak in at the last minute but were spotted.)
Akela: Mowgli, it's you.
Akru: I’ve been looking all over for you.
Mowgli: We’re sorry.
Lala: Late again?
Akela: How many times have I told you and your friends not be late for meetings of the pack?
Geoff: With all due respect, sir, we do have a reason. We uh... had a mining shift at Atlantis before a earthquake happens. Then we got into trouble with one of Griffin's stupid associates, Razorthorn.
Lala: Of course, you always have to be different, don't you? How can anyone expect Mowgli to be a wolf if he can’t even hunt? As for the others, I cannot speak regarding dragons and dinosaurs, but I’m against the clan taking them in.
Akru: I think we've all heard enough from you, Lala!
Sura: Stop it, Akru.
Akela: Lala, we must never forget the promise made to Alexander.
Lala: Alexander might have been a hero, but the wolf pack shouldn’t live in the past.
Akru and Sura: What?!
Luri: Stop it. Sura, Akru, Lala's right, Mowgli and his friends did come late to the meeting. Mowgli, you must apologize to everyone.
Mowgli: We apologize.
Akela: Do you accept their apology?
Lala: No, Grandfather, never! And I'll never accept you as a members of this clan!
(The next morning, Mowgli, Prowler, Geoff, Drake, Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Chomper, Ruby, Akru and Sura are hiding in the tall grass while looking at a rabbit. Then Mowgli chases the rabbit)
Akru: He approached the way from down wind.
Sura: Yes, but he’s still has a lot to learn.
(Mowgli chases it till Lala pounces from the bushes, catching it.)
Mowgli: Not you, Lala.
Lala: I was right beside you, but of course, you never noticed.
Geoff: What's going on?
Lala: To think that this is the son of our hero, Alexander. What a laugh.
Mowgli: Take that back! *grabs Lala*
Drake: Mowgli, leave her alone.
Sura: Akela will be very angry with you.
Akela: Stop it, you two.
Akru: Now you've done it.
Lala: Grandfather.
Mowgli: Bagheera.
Drake: Father.
Draco: What in Odin's name is going on here?
Akela: You know that it's against the rules of the pack to fight among yourselves.
Akru: Lala started it, she grabbed our rabbit.
Lala: What do you mean your rabbit? Since when does game belong to someone before they catch it?
Drake: That's because you keep butting in!
Akela: Enough! If you don't stop, I'm going to lose my patience.
Bagheera: Akela, I'm sorry to interfere, but I think this would be a good time to put Mowgli to the test to see if he's worthy of becoming a member of the clan.
Akela: A test of endurance.
Mowgli: What’s a test of endurance?
Akru: No! Mowgli’s not ready for that yet.
Mowgli: Bagheera.
Bagheera: Be brave and stop that whimpering.
Mowgli: W-Will I be the only one?
Bagheera: Of course not. It’ll be you against that little-Miss-know-it-all over there.
Lala: What?! Me and him?!
Cera: What’s the matter? Are you all bark and no bite?
Akru: Cera.
Cera: What?
Bagheera: It’ll be a contest, Lala. You have nothing to fear if you’re as good as you say, you are.
Lala: Grandfather!
Akela: Are you saying you’re afraid, Lala?
Bagheera: So what do you say?
Cera: Yeah? Are?
(A wild chicken walks by.)
Chicken: *bawks*
Cera: Are you?
Chicken: *bawks*
(Lala turns from Cera to the chicken and back)
Cera: What’s the matter? Are you?
Chicken: *bawks*
Cera: Are you? Are you? Are you scared?
Lala: Alright, I’ll do it!
Bagheera: Mowgli.
Akru: Wait! I’ll compete against Lala instead of Mowgli.
Bagheera: Mowgli, the time has come for you to stand up for yourself. You can’t hide behind your brothers forever. You can’t hide behind your friends either.
Mowgli: But... But I-
Bagheera: Mowgli, what happened to that promise you made to Alexander?
Mowgli: Yes I will.
(Once again they were training to catch small rabbits but utter failure.)
Sura: You missed again.
Akru: Are you sure you're gonna be ready? The contest is tomorrow.
Mowgli: I hope so.
Bagheera: I shouldn’t have interfered. You’re not ready.
Mowgli: Don't worry, Bagheera, I'll be ready in time for the contest tomorrow.
Bagheera: Remember, you'll have to catch two rabbits and three birds not with Prowler, but all by yourself. It's not going to be easy, you know.
Mowgli: I'll be ready.
Chomper: Are you sure, Mowgli? It's not an easy contest, and there's still time for one of us to replace you.
Akru: It will be hard, but if he does make it, he won't have to take anymore teasing from Lala.
Mowgli: That's right, and I won't let her call me a man-cub anymore.
Bagheera: That's the spirit, Mowgli. That's the stuff Alexander's son is made of.
Mowgli: I’ll prove that I’m Alexander son!
Akru: I still wish that there was some way we could help you.
Sura: It wouldn't be fair. After all, the whole point is to prove that you can do it by yourselves.
Akru: I know that, Sura! If only there were some way I could lend you my speed and my strength, then you'd win for sure.
Mowgli: Just you saying it gives me strength. Thank you, Akru, Sura.
(In the Seeonee Village at night, Mowgli, Akru, Sura and Luri slept in the door. Mowgli woke up, walked out of the den, and looked at the Hidden World's crystal moon. Mowgli walked on fours.)
Luri: Mowgli.
Mowgli: Mother.
Luri: You need to rest for tomorrow.
Mowgli: Mother, why am I different from Sura and Akru? Why don't I have fangs and claws like them?
Luri: Tell me, do rabbits have fangs?
Mowgli: Everyone knows rabbits don’t have fangs.
Luri: And antelope?
Mowgli: No.
Luri: Now would you say that these animals are easier to catch because they don't have any fangs?
Mowgli: No, the antelope are hard to catch because they run fast. The rabbits have such good ears that they can hear you coming from far off. Birds have wings so they can fly. And skunks smell really bad.
Luri: So you see, not all animals need claws or fangs. They all have something useful since Gaia created all life.
Mowgli: Gaia?
Luri: Gaia is one of the mini beams created all life. Many other deities such as Jehovah, Ra, Odin and others. They made man different from his animal brethren. Now Mowgli, do you have something useful too> Something that can help you besides claws and fangs?
Mowgli: Besides claws and fangs?
Luri: Don’t worry, son, you don’t have to figure it out by tomorrow. And even if you do lose to Lala, nothing terrible will happen to you. And don’t forget, if you are a man-cub, you’re still Alexander's son, and you’ll never had to prove yourself to me.
Mowgli: Oh, Mother. *hugs Luri*
(The next day, the contest has begun.)
Akela: Mowgli, Lala, you two understand the rules of this contest. Before sunset and without anyone's help, you each must bring back two rabbits and three birds. If Mowgli succeed, he will truly become one of us. You ready? Go!
(With that Mowgli begins his hunt but every chance he got the animals flew away, as for Lala she is already ahead by two. As for Mowgli at a moment of frustration he pulls off a piece of wood and throws it but he unintentionally creates a boomerang. Mowgli is greatly struck with a idea. Elsewhere, Lala is close to winning.)
Lala: One more rabbit to go to win this contest, then I'll prove to everyone that I am the best. *spots a black rabbit* Look, a rare black rabbit on the other side of the river.
(Meanwhile, Mowgli threw the branch at a rabbit and struck it.)
Mowgli: This thing really works.
(At Shere Khan's territory, the Velociraptors report to the tiger.)
Shere Khan: In my territory?! Tell me, was she alone or was the man-cub with her?
Velociraptor: Man-cub? The scout didn’t mention a man-cub.
Shere Khan: Never mind. We can use that young wolf to lure the rest. I’m sure that man-cub is bound to be among them. *groans in pain* It’s my old battle wound. It keeps bothering me. Alexander gave it to me.
(Flashback during a forest fire.)
Alexander: Shere Khan!
Shere Khan: Alexander, give me the man-cub now.
Alexander: Never! I told you once before, I will never give him up. Mowgli’s my son.
Shere Khan: I warn you, if you don't give him up peacefully, you will have to fight for him.
(Alexander chooses to fight Shere Khan while the wolves, lions and apes escape.)
Flashback ends
(Mowgli is swinging his boomerang, killing a bird.)
Mowgli: Wow, I got him!
Bagheera: Ingenious.
Mowgli: Bagheera. Draco.
Draco: We’ve always been fascinated by the ingenuity of the human mind. Very clever.
Mowgli: Bagheera, Draco, how long have you been here?
Bagheera: From the beginning. I was worried about you.
Draco: Worried? Bah! I never worry about my son, he has Geoff on his side.
Bagheera: A little worried. Since you didn't notice us, it means you got a long way to go.
(Then they hear birds squawking.)
Bagheera: The birds are warning of Shere Khan.
Mowgli: Shere Khan's near?
(Elsewhere, Lala is chasing the black rabbit, but is confronted by Shere Khan and his raptors. At the Council Rock, Akela and Luri look at the sunset.)
Akela: The Sun is setting.
Wolf: Akela, Akela!
Akela: What is it? Has something happened?
Wolf: Lala has crossed into Shere Khan's territory.
Akela: What?! How could she?!
(Meanwhile, Mowgli, Bagheera and Draco are heading back.)
Mowgli: Yes, but as Mother said, it's more important that I found something only I can do, so I'm happy.
Bagheera: You know, if you're ever asked to leave the pack, you're always welcome to come and stay with me. Oh well, yes, it's only if you're ever asked to leave.
(Suddenly, Mowgli, Bagheera and Draco look up to see Shere Khan and the Velociraptors cornering Lala at a cliff.)
Mowgli: Lala!
Bagheera: Shere Khan and Lala!
Mowgli: She’s trapped, I have to save her.
Bagheera: Then aim carefully.
(Mowgli throws his fang and hits Shere Khan in the face.)
Mowgli: Lala, jump!
(With that, Lala jumps into the river but fell unconscious. Mowgli promptly jumps into the water as Prowler and the other wolves joined in.)
Shere Khan: They haven't heard the end of me yet.
(At the Council Rock, Mowgli stood before Akela.)
Mowgli: I'm sorry, Akela. I didn't pass the test.
Akela: It's not the contest that's important, but the fact that you risked your own lives to save someone else. That makes you worthy of becoming a member of this clan. Thank you.
Mowgli: Thank you, Akela.
(Akru and Sura lick Mowgli as Prowler playfully pounced on them.)
Akela: You have any objections, Lala?
Lala: Hmph.
Akela: Oh dear.
(The wolves howl, lions roar, and the ape raise their clenched fists as they celebrate Mowgli becoming a member of the Seeonee Clan.)
Tom (V.O.): You wanna hear a story about dragons? Everybody's got a favorite, right? Attacking villagers, threatening fair maidens, hording piles of gold. Those stories about dragons that terrorized the Vikings in the northern seas? Yeah. Yeah, those are some of my favorites. Of course, those stories are just stories, right? Dragons don't really exist. They're just... they're just myths a-and legends. You know, stuff to scare kids. But I've got a dragon story you haven't heard. A story that really happened. And this story? This one is my absolute favorite, because this story is mine.
(A sheep are grazing until a helicopter comes by, causing them to scatter.)
Tom: This thing go any faster, Mom?
Olivia: *laughs* Any faster, Tom, and the blades will come off. Okay. Just ahead, over this row of trees. You ready for this?
Tom: I think you know the answer to that. *sees the fissure* Whoa! The Kullersen Fissure. How deep is that thing?
Olivia: It's been scanned to be deeper than the Mariana. Over seven miles down. Of course, at that depth, you find poisonous gas, razor sharp rocks, rivers of lava.
Tom: You had me at poisonous gas.
(Tom looks down into the fissure and notices something giving off electrical charges underneath the fog.)
Tom: Is that...?
Olivia: Project ICARIS.
(The helicopter turns left to reveal a research station built on the edge of the cliff.)
Tom: No way...
Olivia: ICARIS 1 on approach.
Man: Come around back, ICARIS 1. We're just finishing a cargo drop and getting the VTOL outta your way.
(Olivia lands the helicopter in a pad. Tom jumps out of it.)
Tom: Alright, let's head to the fissure.
(Before Tom can run off, he ran into Director May Wong.)
Tom: A hat?
May: Thomas, how you've grown! The last time I saw you, you jumped into the polar bear habitat at the zoo. What a ruckus! Hope you learned from that experience. Dr. Kullersen!
Olivia: Director Wong. You remember Mrs. Wong?
Tom: I remember the hat.
May: Welcome to Project ICARIS! Follow me.
Olivia: How are the preparations coming along?
May: Ah, well, as with any new project, we've had our little bumps. You both must be exhausted from the trip.
Olivia: Actually, the earthquakes you have mentioned have me concerned. I'd like to see the data.
May: That's the Olivia I know and love. Rest is for the weak. Thomas! I'm stealing your mother! My daughter will show you around. You remember my Jun Bug, don't you?
Olivia: You two were so cute together when you were six.
Tom: Jun? Uh... Yeah? Yeah.
May: Jun, you remember Tom. When you're done playing with your magical cards, can you help him find orientation?
Jun: They're tarot cards, mom. They're not magic.
May: Yes. And they're showing me a future where you don't reach your potential. This way, Olivia!
Tom: Mom, what about checking out the fissure?
(Olivia shrugs as she enters an elevator with May.)
Tom: Hey.
Jun: Hey yourself. You look different than I remember.
Tom: A lot can change in eight years. So, uh, where's this orientation thing supposed to happen?
Philip: It'll be in the ICARIS Visitor's Center. We'll be heading there once the other students arrive.
D'Angelo: I'm here, Pops! And I am... on time!
Philip: We're still waiting on one more teen.
D'Angelo: Uh, Pops?
Philip: *notices Alex behind him* Whoa! Where'd you come from? Alright. Everyone, close order on my son here. *sighs* That means shoulder to shoulder. Move.
(The teens move shoulder to shoulder.)
Philip: Okay, we have D'Angelo Baker.
D'Angelo: Here! I mean, you already knew that.
Philip: Jun Wong.
Jun: Present in this dimensional timeline. I'm here, too, Phil.
Philip: Tom Kullersen.
Tom: Yup! I am also here.
Philip: Alex Gonzalez.
Alex: *raises her hand shyly*
Philip: Sorry, what was that?
Alex: Here.
Philip: I can't hear you.
Tom: She said "here".
Philip: Okay. For those of you who don't know, I am Security Chief Philip Baker. Welcome to Project ICARIS. International Crevasse and Research Investigation Station. Your safety orientation begins now.
(The teens follow Philip.)
D'Angelo: Your name's Kullersen? Like, named after the fissure?
Tom: Actually, it's named after my mom. She figured out the comet would tear it open.
D'Angelo: Yo, that is crazy! So, you're famous.
Jun: More like infamous. He climbed into a polar bear habitat when he was five. Made the local news.
Tom: In my defense, the bear looked lonely.
D'Angelo: Oh man. Polar bears might look cute, but they can be very aggressive.
Tom: Nah, he just needed a friend.
Philip: Alright, everybody, simmer down. Except for you. You're fine. I like my elevator rides quiet.
Everyone: *enters the elevator*
Philip: On this, the green floor, you'll find our amazing research division. It is state of the art.
Tom: Nice.
Philip: Children are not allowed.
Jun: Still leaping before you look?
Philip: The blue floor is home to our high tech control center and security hub. The virtual brain of the station. It is state of the art.
Tom: Can we...
Philip: Children are not allowed.
Tom: What's on the red floor?
Philip: The hangar. It's a highly restricted area. Home to our explorer-class drone fleet. It is state of the art. Children are not allowed.
Tom: So where are children allowed?
Philip: The Visitor's Center. You have three jobs while you're here. Number one, go to school. Number two, stay away from the fissure. And number three, make sure you stay away from the fissure. Look all you want, but touch nothing. When you're done looking, take a seat, and we'll begin your first safety film.
(Tom stays behind in the elevator and presses the red button. Jun notices him, but doesn't say anything as the elevator doors close. Tom reaches the hangar and is amazed by all of this. A drone takes flight and Tom follows it to a platform.)
Tom: Whoa. State of the art.
(Tom looks down into the fissure and notices something flying in the fog.)
Tom: Huh? What is that? A drone?
Linda: What are you doing out here?
Tom: I-I saw something. It was...
(The hangar began to shake.)
Tom: What is that?
Linda: Oh no... Earthquake!
(The two fell down as Linda drops the electronic tablet, causing the drone to crash under the platform. Part of the platform and breaks it off, causing Linda to fall. She gabs onto a metal bar, barely hanging on.)
Linda: Get help!
(Tom rushes back to the station and sees a emergency button. The earthquake cause the crane to swing out of control and hit the boxes. Some fell and land on Tom, but removes some and presses the emergency button. Tom grabs a rope and throws it down to Linda. She grabs it, slipping a bit.)
Linda: Not like this! I'm too young! I have a cat!
(Tom starts to pull her up, but soon enough, he slips back to the edge on the platform.)
Tom: We're just... I don't know what we're just... I can't...
(Tom falls into the fissure, but is caught by Philip.)
Philip: I got you! I got you both! Climb up, Linda!
(A few moments later, everyone is safe.)
Tom: Did you see that?
Philip: What? Our lives flashing before our eyes?
Olivia: Tom! Are you okay?
Tom: Mom! Mom! Hi, I'm fine. I just saw something-
Olivia: *hugs Tom tight* What happened?
Linda: Earthquake. Falling. Screams. Death riding toward me on a pale horse.
Philip: Your son thought fast, threw her a cable, saved her life.
May: Thomas? What are you doing down here? This is a restricted area.
Tom: Oh! I-I...
Olivia: Wait a minute. You weren't supposed to be down here?
Tom: Well, no... See, the elevator doors were closing, and I couldn't-
Olivia: Oh, Tom! From now on, he will only be where he's supposed to be. Right?
May: Chief Baker, show the Kullersens to their dome. One moment, Olivia. I think we were both hoping that Tom had matured beyond the "swimming with polar bears" phase of his development.
Olivia: He has. I promise you, May, he has. And if he hasn't, he's going to.
(At outside in front of the building where Tom and Philip wait for Olivia.)
Philip: What you did back there... pretty stupid. But pretty brave, too. You gotta understand that fissure is dangerous, son. No one knows how deep that thing is. If you fell in, you might never hit the bottom. I'm glad I'm not you right now.
(Olivia drives a jeep to the dome where she and Tom are going to live.)
Tom: This place is pretty nice. Feels very... domey. Look, I know you're mad, but... So, uh, maybe after we unpack, we can wander around? I think I saw something in the fissure.
Olivia: The fissure you weren't supposed to be near?
Tom: Yeah. Yeah, that fissure.
Olivia: Tom, you totally went against everything we talked about before we got here. I know you're excited. I am, too. But, you cannot, under any circumstances, sneak around places that could get you killed.
Tom: Okay, okay, I get it. I just wanted to see the drone fleet. And I didn't know an earthquake was coming.
Olivia: You have a drone. Look at that.
Tom: It's not the same thing.
Olivia: We have been here barely an hour, and we almost had a tragedy. Not the best first impression.
Tom: Okay, I admit it. The drone mission was misguided. I should've stayed with the group. But, come on, Mom. We come from Vikings. We don't ask for permission. We don't care what other people think. We crave adventure!
Olivia: There won't be any adventure if you keep breaking the rules.
Tom: Rules are for suckers.
Olivia: You will complete the safety orientation videos. Or die by the sword!
Tom: Now she wants me dead. How quickly we forget. You'll never defeat me! This umbrella is state of the art!
(Tom and Olivia play fight with an umbrella and a broom for swords.)
Olivia: Oh, but I will, because I am your mother and have responsibilities!
Tom: I see your responsibilities and raise you one independent teenager.
Olivia: Parental duty!
Tom: Teen angst!
(Olivia defeats Tom by "stabbing" him with the broom.)
Tom: Oh man...
Olivia: We gotta behave ourselves, boyo. This expedition is even bigger than I thought. Look at this place. A lot of eyeballs are on us.
Tom: Well, can we at least use our eyeballs and go look at the fissure? I'm serious. I think I saw something.
Olivia: W-What do you mean "saw something"?
(Olivia's phone rings.)
Olivia: Oh, I gotta take this. Hello, May. No, sorry, I didn't forget. I'm just getting Tom situated. Be right there. I gotta get back. They need me at the station.
Tom: What do I do while you're gone?
Olivia: I don't know. Unpack. Play a video game. Gotta go. Love you! Stay away from that fissure. Stay near the dome.
(Tom turns on the TV, but there is no signal. He looks around the room and sees his drone.)
Tom: Huh. She said I couldn't go near the fissure, but she didn't say anything about my drone.
(Tom sits on top of his dome while flying his drone around.)
Tom: Alright, let's check out the world's deepest hole and see if we can spot that flying thing.
Jun: How do you like your dome?
(Tom almost drops his tablet and looks down to see Jun.)
Tom: Well, they're all the same, right?
Jun: Pretty much. How did you get up there? *climbs up* Help me.
Tom: *pulls Jun up*
Jun: I heard what happened on the platform.
Tom: Wow. That was quick.
Jun: Well, when people almost die and a chunk of the station falls into the fissure, word travels fast.
Tom: Good point.
Jun: Guess you're still the boy who makes the local news.
Tom: I guess so.
Jun: I knew you were coming here, you know. It was fated.
Tom: Fated?
Jun: Yeah, it was in the stars. I read your astrological chart. I-I was just curious. It doesn't mean anything.
Tom: Guess you're still the girl who's into everything magical.
Jun: It's not magic, but yeah. I am. Okay, uh, what's the point of this toy? It's making me dizzy.
Tom: It's not a toy, Jun. It's a drone.
Jun: It's a toy.
Tom: I saw something in the fissure earlier. Something flying.
Jun: What do you mean? Like another drone?
Tom: No, no, bigger, faster. I don't know... different.
Jun: Well, your drone has a camera on it, right? Let's go check it out.
Tom: What do you think I'm trying to do?
Jun: *grabs the tablet*
Tom: No, no, no, no, Jun! Jun, it-it takes a lot of practice to-
Jun: Oh! Hey! This is kinda fun.
Tom: Okay! Easy! These things are expensive.
Jun: I got it. I got it.
(The drone crashes somewhere in the distance.)
Jun: Oh. Sorry. My bad. Where did it go?
(Tom and Jun are trying to get the drone out of a sheep's wool.)
Jun: Poor thing. I'm so sorry.
Tom: Never shaved a sheep before. You're welcome.
Jun: I should get going. It's getting late. You gonna be okay?
Tom: Yeah. I'm just gonna take one more flight and check out the fissure.
Jun: Your chart was right. You have an unquenchable thirst for adventure.
Tom: I told you. I saw something weird. I wanna take another look.
Jun: Just be careful. Like I said, you were fated to be here. We both were, and something big happens.
Tom: Something big?
Jun: Life-changing.
(Later, Tom is in the Visitor's Center, lowering his drone into the fissure.)
Tom: Okay, where are you?
(The drone flies by a pile of fallen boulders. A flash of light briefly coming from inside appears.)
Tom: There you are.
(The drone flies closer but is shut off by a surge of electricity.)
Tom: What the...?
(Tom goes outside and sees his drone near the pile of rocks.)
Tom: Okay, this is probably a bad idea.
(Tom uses the pickaxe to climb down the fissure and puts the drone in his backpack. He hears a deep growl.)
Tom: What are you?
(Tom sees a small spark and stumbles in shock.)
Tom: Whoa! Okay, time to go.
(Before Tom can leave, he hears the creature roar. Tom crept close and sees a eye. He looks to see a tail.)
Tom: A tail? Okay, okay, okay. Just - just hold on.
(Tom struggles to move the boulder, but mustered his strength to allow the tail to move.)
Tom: Okay, you can come out now.
(To his surprise, electrical currents over the piles of stone shooting out, with a cloud of smoke, the creature comes out. Tom takes a step back and falls into the fissure. He manages to pull out his pick-axe and drive it into the wall, stopping his fall. He begins climbing until he reaches a rock platform. He looks up to see the creature coming down. This creature is a Night Light dragon, a crossbreed between a Night Fury and a Light Fury.)
Tom: Ah! Go away! Go on! Get outta here!
(Tom turns on his flashlight which scares the dragon. The dragon circles Tom before shooting small lightning at the flashlight.)
Tom: No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
(Tom smacks the flashlight to turn it on. He points the flashlight at the Night Light which frightens it.)
Draco: You know you keep doing that he's gonna get more and more angry.
Tom: *looks up to see Draco* Aah! What are you?
Draco: My name is Draco. As far as I'm concerned this conversation never happened. Now don't look around in places you shouldn't be in.
(Draco turns Tom around and opens a hidden door in the rocky wall side, making a loud shutting sound.)
Tom: Okay, first a black and white reptile with wings. Then a giant dragon? What have I gotten myself into this time?
(Tom starts to climb up with his pickaxe. He nearly makes it out, before slipping and falling. The Night Light catched Tom by holding his foot. The dragon flips him over so that he is holding him upright, before flying into a large cavern, dropping Tom. Tom immediately grabs and turns on his flashlight. The Night Light growls at this, shielding its face with a wing.)
Tom: Woah, woah, woah, woah, hey, hey- stop, stop, stop.
(Tom lowers the flashlight, and the Night Light relaxes slightly, but doesn't lower its guard. It starts to circle Tom.)
Tom: You're alright. You're alright.
(The Night Light growls as the light hits him again.)
Tom: I'm not gonna hurt you. Just don't hurt me.
(The Night Light snarls again. Tom gives it a small smile, repositioning the light in front of both of them, no longer directed at the Night Light, who steps into the light. Tom gasps, and the light hits Thunder again, who flinches slightly, but draws itself to its full height instead of jumping away.)
Tom: What are you? Where did you come from? Why am I asking questions?
Bagheera: I believe he's been here for his whole life.
Tom: *turns to see Bagheera* A talking black panther?
Bagheera: Oh I can do more than that.
(Tom walks around the cavern, shining the flashlight around, revealing a green underground lake, and dozens of stalagmites jutting out of the ground.)
Tom: This place is incredible.
(The Night Light follows him, still sniffing curiously, and licks his lips. Tom finds an opening with a sliver of light shining out of it.)
Tom: Huh. Well, okay. I'm just gonna see myself out. Whoa, WHOA!
(The Night Light pounces on Tom, grabbing his backpack before walking away, whacking Tom on the head with his tail as he goes.)
Tom: Hey! That's my stuff!
(The water bottle as Tom picks it up, but the Night Light runs to him.)
Tom: Here! Here! Take it it's yours!
(The Night Light stops in mid charge sniffing the water bottle.)
Tom: Do you want some water? Is that it?
(He opens the lid pours some water out. The Night Light sniffs it, then raises its head up. Tom pulls out his phone with a camera on its screen of the Night Light. Tom is whether or not to take a picture of the creature or not.)
Tom: *puts his phone away* I don't think anyone should know about you right now.
Bagheera: That would be wise.
(Then the Night Light steals the backpack, looking for something. Tom chases after him when the Night Light sneaks behind the pillars of stone Tom follows it seeing him searching inside the backpack to find a bag of potato chips.)
Tom: No! Wait!
(The Night Light went ahead and swallows the chips bag and all. But then the dragon starts to sniff then sneezes out cheese dust onto Tom's face, and then the animal throws the bag back into Tom's face.)
Tom: Sorry. That's all the loops I got. Wait a minute, you're hungry. Okay, I can bring you back something to eat.
(Then the Night Light grabs Tom by the ankle and flies off.)
Tom: Not again!
(The Night Light creates a EMP which shorts out any electrical devices including the lights. The station goes into emergency power and an alarm is going off with a red triangle and lighting bolt on it.)
Linda: There goes the power again. Chief? Still no idea what's causing that?
(Tom tries to return home but bumps into Chief Baker. He returns Tom home, knocks on the door, Olivia is shocked to see him.)
Tom: Mom, it's not what it looks like.
Philip: We found him running around near the fissure.
Tom: Okay, it's exactly what it looks like.
Kullersen Dome
Olivia: I don't even know what to say to you right now. I see your new gritty hairstyles is part of this rebellious phase you're going through? I thought I was clear when I say stay near the dome.
Tom: You were, but...
Olivia: Wasn't I clear when I say stay away from the fissure?
Tom: Yes, but... there's a...
Olivia: I don't care, Tom. Your life is worth more than a cheep reckless thrill. Maybe this'll get through; if you fell into that fissure, you will be gone forever. And I don't know what I'll do without you.
Tom: I'm sorry.
Olivia: From this moment forward; when you're not in school, you will be here. On weekends, you will be here. If it's a holiday, you will be here. Understood?
Tom: Got it.
Olivia: Good. If I go into a hundred yards of that bottomless pit, so help me, Tom. I will stick you in the ICARIS jail.
Tom: ICARIS has a jail?
Olivia: Chief Baker will build me one. Don't think I won't ask. And don't think he won't build it.
(Tom walks to his bedroom, puts his backpack on his bed, he then turns to the window to see the water bottle returned. He picks it up and on the bottle are three claw marks. The next morning, Tom slept on through the night on the table.)
Olivia: Tom, wake up. It's your first day of school.
Tom: *wakes up*
Olivia: Well, at least you're already dressed. A benefit in sleeping in your clothes, and apparently on your desk. They always said "Just wait till he's a teen". I never listened.
Visitor's Center
(Tom stares out the window, thinking of the Night Light. Tom drew in a sketch book of the Night Light, Jun and the others saw this.)
D'Angelo: My dad said that kid is trouble with a captial T.
Jun: Who? Kullersen?
D'Angelo: He went back out to the fissure last night. Yeah, that platform is not even finished yet. If he took a bad step, he had to grow wings real fast.
Jun: Knight of swords. Means you worry too much. Chill.
D'Angelo: Chill? I am totally chill. Don't I look chill? Why don't you talk?!
Jun: I thought we had a agreement, Kullersen. You weren't going back to the fissure.
Tom: I seem to be hearing this a lot lately.
Jun: I warned you.
Tom: No. You said you read my chart that something big was gonna happen. That's pretty vague.
Jun: Did something big happen?
Tom: Kinda. Maybe. I don't know.
Jun: Talk about vague.
D'Angelo: What do you think they're talking about over there? If they're plotting something, my dad is gonna bust them big time. Am I right? Got a real bad feeling about this. Nothing?! Okay.
Jun: I think you saw something down there, didn't you?
Tom: Okay yes, yes I saw something.
Jun: A moth and some rocks? Very funny.
Tom: It's not a moth and some rocks. Isn't it?
Jun: You never could draw, Kullersen. Too busy breaking your crayons.
Tom: It's a bat maybe. Or-or a Pterodactyl. Some kind of flying dinosaur.
Jun: Wait, for real? It could be a dinosaur. Or a dragon.
Tom: Thought you said it was a moth.
Jun: Maybe like a moth-like dragon. Round face, four legs, some fangs. Needs better wings.
Tom: I'm having flashbacks to kindergarten. Dragons aren't real, Jun.
Jun: Dragons stories have been around for thousands of years in every country and culture. They had to come from somewhere. Dragons are real. I'm sure of it.
Alex: If dragons were real, humanity would exterminate them. Dragons would be hunted down to the ends of the earth, chased down and turned into boots, belts and burgers. Big business would exploit them. Reducing them to a tiny column of profit margins of an endless spreadsheet of doom. Let's face it, a real dragon would be a dead dragon.
D'Angelo: I liked it better when you didn't talk.
(After school, Tom walks back home.)
Jun: Kullersen, wait up! So what are we gonna do about your dragon?
Tom: We're not doing anything. And it's not a dragon.
Jun: Just try to open your mind. There's a whole world out there we don't understand.
(Then a thunderstruck was heard.)
Jun: Thunder? There's not a cloud in the sky.
(Tom rushes back home opens the fridge with lasagna, cheeseburger, a box of pizza.)
Tom: Okay time to feed a giant flying cave creature.
(He carries the food but stops when he sees his mother.)
Tom: Mom! Hey I thought you were at work.
Olivia: I was but I forgot some spreadsheets. That's quite a lunch.
Tom: Yeah, right. Well you can never eat too many hamburgers.
Olivia: I guess not. I might be working late tonight.
Tom: Hey Mom? Can I ask you something?
Olivia: Sure. What's up?
Tom: What would happen if we actually discover something down in the fissure?
Olivia: Like what, a new mineral?
Tom: Yeah a mineral, or a plant or a new animal maybe?
Olivia: Discovering a new species? That would be incredible.
Tom: Yeah. We could study it. You and me. Figure it out what it is, where it came from.
Olivia: Imagine the science.
Tom: It would be awesome!
Olivia: The Rakke Corp would be very relieved too.
Tom: The Rakke Crop? What do you mean?
Olivia: Well they've invested a billion dollars into this expedition. They're expecting to find something pretty big. A new species would go along way.
Tom: So you're saying whatever we find will just end up as a endless profit margin on an Rakke Corp spreadsheet of doom.
Olivia: That's pretty dark boyo.
Tom: I thought we were here for science. Not to make Rakke Corp money.
Olivia: What's this really about?
Tom: Okay...listen. When I was...
(The phone which Olivia answered it.)
Olivia: This is Dr. Kullersen. Yes May, I agree the earthquakes are a problem. I will be right there. Gotta go. The Rakke Corp wants an update. *leaves*
Tom: Yeah. I bet they do. Okay, got the food. Now just need to figure out the cave to that creature is.
(At the station, Tom is sitting in the sunken living room, looks through old map of where the fissure is.)
Tom: Okay. Maps. Maps to the secret cave. Where are you? Probably won't say map to the secret cave.
Alex: Hi.
Tom: *jumps in fright* Where did you come from?
Alex: I was born in Tuscaloosa.
Tom: How long you've been standing there?
Alex: Long enough to notice that even with all these maps you're still lost.
Tom: Just checking out the caves in the area. 'Cause I like caves.
Alex: " like caves too. They're dark. But those maps are useless. When the fissure opened up its shift everything around. Might as well files with a map of Pangaea. *laughs and snorts*
Tom: I haven't thought about that. Thanks Alex.
Alex: I have the new maps. Drawn by the Rakke Corp seismic cartographer.
Tom: Wait, how did you get those?
Alex: I didn't. Cinnabot538 hacked them off the ICARIS server. *rushes to the elevator and pushes the button*
Tom: Well do you think Cinnabot538 might be able to send me those to my phone?
Alex: I think Cinnabot538 can do whatever she wants.
(Tom goes off into a cave to see if he can meet the Night Light.)
Tom: Hello? I'm back! Dinnertime!
(Tom uses a pickaxe to knock it on the rock wall.)
Tom: Come and get it!
(The Night Light pounces on Tom.)
Tom: I brought you some food.
(The food is laid out as the Night Light sniffs them and doesn't like the pizza.)
Tom: The only creature on the planet who doesn't like pizza.
Night Light: *tosses the pizza, burger and box*
Draco: What did you expect? You thought it would eat junk food on the first try?
(The Night Light sniffed at the plastic container of spaghetti, licks it first then eats the whole food.)
Tom: Alright. Now we're getting somewhere.
Draco: Well I'll be. I'd never thought he would eat human food.
Tom: Or not. No, no, no!
(The dragon vomits the spaghetti sauce and into Tom's clothes.)
Draco: Okay two things. One I should have saw that coming. And two, that's gonna leave a stain.
Tom: First off you're not helping. And as for you, I guess you're not a fan of spaghetti.
(Tom offered different foods: a stake, cereal, and a jar of pickles, only to have the Night Light swipe them away in dislike. All the food he brought none of which the Night Light liked, not one bit.)
Tom: What do dragons eat? *picks up a box* There's these. Frozen fish nuggets. *groans* Nobody likes frozen fish nuggets.
Draco replies: "Hey, you said you wanted to study him. So I just give you the roar you had to follow it." The dragon offers one to Tom and Draco. Tom says to the dragon: "No, no. I'm Dragon roars demanding he eats one. Draco says: "Just eat it. If you don't he'll be insulted. Take a bite at least." So Bumblebee picks up one of the fish nuggets and eats it. Tom speaks his mind: "If fish nuggets were the last food on the planet, I would happily starve." Again he refuses but the dragon begs him so he picks up one acting like he'll eat it. "Okay. Thanks, I think I'll save this one for later." Bee smacks him int the head and says: "Stop being so stubborn! Just take one bite, it's not gonna kill you." Tom knows when he's out numbered so and eats is but still doesn't like the taste and swallows it. "Yum." The dragon eat another fish nugget and offers another two. "We're gonna split this whole pile of nuggets are we?" Draco answers for his fellow dragon: "Yep."
After a while they ate the whole pile Draco lays down while Tom is also sitting down and feeling a bit sick. Tom says: "Oh! Okay that's it." The dragon offers the last nugget. "No, no, no. I can't no more. I can't do this. I can't eat another nugget. I just ate one! The last one is yours or his." The dragon growls to him making him eat. "Ok, ok. Last one's mine. Just…give me a second." He takes a deep breath, and eats it. "We did it. We're done." The dragon rotates and lays down next to Tom and Draco. While the boy and Dragon slept next to each other, Draco is remembering the old days of he, Toothless and Hiccup.
(Tom touches the dragon's face which wakes him up and the two are startled. The dragon sees the palm and presses his face onto Tom's hand and a little static shock is made, making his hair stand up.)
Tom: So what do you wanna do now?
(The three flew in the fissure.)
Draco: I haven't flew in the outside world in a long long time! I almost forgot I was like to fly.
Tom: This is amazing!
(The three stop as rocks begin to fall.
Tom: Earthquake?
Draco: No. Something else.
(The three began to fly upwards avoiding the falling debris but the dragon accidentally lets go of Tom, so he flies into to save him. Tom and the dragon fly out, but this time, Tom's riding the dragon.)
Draco: Just like the old days!
(The dragon shooting falling rocks with lightning shots.)
Tom: Yeah! Blast those suckers!
(Then a large stone crumbles off the wall.)
Tom: Watch out!
(The Night Light and Draco flies into a hole.)
Tom: Phew! That was a big one.
(The three spot a light as Tom used a pickaxe to break it open. Tom soon discovers a world filled with dragons, mythical creatures, unique animals, dinosaurs and prehistoric mammals.)
Tom: You seeing what I'm seeing?
Draco: Thomas Kullersen, welcome to the Hidden World.
Jun in the Library putting the books on the shelf.
Jun: “Ancient ruins, ancient sightings, ancient kingdoms, volume one, volume two, b-Babylon? How do you get mixed up with these books? B, b, b.” She sees the Bs in the Library only a few meters away, she stretches her arm but then the ladder pulls out her, standing upwards the ladder.
Jun: “Help.” She calls trying to stay upwards then she slips and the book cases fall like a stack of dominoes. She gets up seeing the mess. “Oops.”
The curator of the library comes in and is stunned by this. He is lost for words but seeing Jun in the middle.
Curator: “Look at this!” He spoke in anger to Jun for his bookshelf toppled. “Sons of the pharaohs! Give me frogs, flies, locusts-anything but you. Compared to you the plagues of Egypt were a joy.”
Jun: “I’m so sorry sir, it was an accident.”
Curator: “Dear Jun. when Ramses destroyed Syria, that was an accident. When Paris took Helen from Greece that lead to the destruction of Troy, that was an accident. You, are catastrophe! Look at my library! Now listen, I don’t care how you do it, I don’t care how long it takes. Straighten up this meshiva!”
Jun groans and said: "Fine."
(Moaning sound, Jun goes to the Norseman, Egyptian and Greek exhibits with a flash light)
Jun: “Alex? Kullersen? D?”
(No response, she walks forward then a mummy pops out, frightening her, it was her brother Eugene trying to scare her.)
Eugene: “Hahaha! We got her buddy!” He said to the mummy.
Jun: “Have you no respect for the dead?”
Eugene: “Of course I do.” He said putting the mummy’s arm on the side of the sarcophagus casually and his own arm around the mummy’s should like a friend. “But sometimes, I’d rather like to join them.”
Jun: “Well, I hope you could do it sooner rather than later, because I’m not in the mood for one of your breaks. I just made the best of the Library. I’m having a bad enough with my career. Like you did yours.”
Eugene: “Jun-bug, my sweet baby sister. I’ll have you know, that my career is on a high note.”
(Jun gives Eugene a look.)
Eugene: “OK maybe not a high note. Maybe a medium note best.”
(Elsewhere, Tom is never been amazed of his whole life, seeing a hidden world.)
Tom: Whoa. This is... this is... I-I don't know what this is. A hidden world.
Draco: Actually, it is the Hidden World.
Tom; This is amazing. An entire hidden ecosystem.
Draco: Well, technically nine. But we’ll get to them later.
(The phone buzzes which cause the Night Light to get nervous.)
Tom: Uh, don't worry. Don't worry. No, no, no. It-it's just my phone. It's just my phone. *looks at the phone* Oh no. Mom's heading home? I gotta go.
Draco: The noisy cricket.
(As Tom rushes to find the same way he came in, the Night Light was eager to help his new human friend. At the cave exit near the fissure, Tom looks up.)
Tom: Dang it! Must've made a wrong turn.
(The dragon walks up beside him, encouraging him to ride him, the young man was thinking the same thing.)
Tom: Yeah I'm gonna need a lift pal.
(So he mounts on the dragon's back and it flies into the fissure. Tom looks at his phone again.)
Tom: She's leaving work now. Can't you, you know, step on it?
(The dragon increases speed almost causing Tom to fall off but luckily he grabs the tail. As they continue to fly, Tom climbs back up to the dragon's head, by climbing on its spikes on its back. They flew up out of the fissure to see the whole town, the dragon summons a electrical shortage causing all electrical devices to short out and shutdown. Even Jun who's reading where her light goes out. Tom and the Night Light drew close as is Olivia.)
Tom: Oh man, she's almost home. Hurry!
(They almost hit a wind mill but dodge it and land on the dome rooftop where the ceiling window is open which Tom uses to enter.)
Olivia: Tom, I'm home. *turns on the light and sees Tom*
Tom: Oh, hey Mom.
Olivia: I don't think I'll ever get use to that hair. It looks like you've been electrocuted.
(The next day Tom sneaks and rushes through bushes, trying to make sure he's not followed. He looks to see Chief Baker setting up sensors because the ones last night were shocked out.)
Tom: *groans* I forgot about the sensors.
(He looks on his phone for some help, then he hears a baw noise. He looks up to see the same sheep who got hit by his drone who's still pretty upset.
Tom: You.
(The sheep narrows his eyes then he charges at Tom, who manages to dodge the charging beast, who ends up hitting Chief Baker instead. The chief of security turns around staring down at the little sheep with now intimidated by the large man who growls at him. The sheep runs away, after the sheep ran, Chief Baker goes back to work on the sensors.)
Tom: Looks like a job for Cinnabot538.
(At Alex's dome home in her room on her computer, she hears banging on her window. She sees Tom and screams a bit. He tells her to be quiet, she calms down and opens the window.)
Tom: Sorry Alex. Didn't mean to scare you.
Alex: Sneaking up on people is my thing.
Tom: I need some help.
Alex: That's abundantly clear.
Tom: I have to get pass the fence without setting off the sensors. Can Cinnabot538 do some high tech computer thingy to get me through? Like you did with the maps?
Alex: Maps are one thing Tom. Hacking past the security fire wall is a "high-tech-computer-thingy" that could get me into a lot of trouble.
Tom: You're right. I shouldn't have asked. I'll figure something else out.
Alex: I'll do it.
Tom: What, you sure? I-I don't want you to get busted.
Alex: Just hand me the phone before I change my mind.
(The young man hands the phone the window closes as Tom wait for his phone. In just a minute the window opens, Tom turns around and is handed his phone back.)
Alex: Okay, just tap the cinnamon toast icon. It will deactivate the sensors long enough for you to run pass.
Tom: Thanks Alex. Also, uh, why cinnamon toast?
Alex: No reason. Why do you need to get pass the sensors?
Tom: No reason.
Alex: Guess we both have secrets, don't we? *closes her window*
(Tom uses the cinnamon toast icon, causing the sensors' lights turn red to green.)
Tom: Thank you, Cinnabot538.
(He walks past the sercurity, unknown to him, Jun, Milo and Ann were following him. In the woods, Tom rushes to reach an entrance that leads to the Hidden World, until he hears Jun.)
Jun: Going somewhere, Kullersen?
Tom: *turns to see Jun, Milo and Ann* Uh... are-are you stalking me? That's so sneaky.
Milo: Not quite sneaky, but I believe you're keeping a dragon.
Tom: What? Dragon? *scoffs* Come on, don't be ridiculous. There is no dragon.
Jun: Tom, it's me. I've known you since grade school, remember? I know when you're lying. There is something in that hole.
Tom: Wait, you know I'm lying?
Jun: *laughs* You put on your charming mischievous smile. Your confident shoulder swag. Your smelly armpits.
Tom: Smelly armpits? Jun, Mr. Thatch, Ann, wait!
Jun: Never tell an Aries to wait.
(Tom, Jun, Milo and Ann enter the cave.)
Tom: See? There's nothing down here.
Ann: What is this place?
Tom: It's just a cave. Seen one, you've seen them all. Why don't we just take-
(They hear a growl. Jun points her flashlight to see the dragon sleeping. Jun was confused while Milo is excited to see a real dragon until the Night Light open its eyes. Then the dragon stands up, slowly walks up, and then pounces on Tom.)
Jun: Kullersen!
Tom: Alright, alright! Stop it! Get off me! Come on!
Milo: Can it be...?
Tom: Sure is.
Milo: I don't believe... a actual dragon! *chuckles excitedly* You know, Tom, my grandpa used to tell me stories about dragons. They... they can do anything, l-l-like flying in the sky. This is amazing. Our knowledge of myth, this is beyond anything we could ever known.
Jun: That means yetis and chupacabras must be real too!
Tom: Uh, l-let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Ann: What's his name?
Tom: I haven't named him yet, but does have this lightning thing that's really amazing.
Milo: A lightning dragon?
Tom: Yeah. Yeah, so... so I thought I'd call him Thunder.
Jun: 'Cause Lightning's too on the nose?
Tom: Yeah, I went back and forth.
Jun: Aw, do you like the name Thunder? Do you? Aw. I think he likes it. Oh, I have to get a picture! *pulls out her phone*
Tom: Wait, no! No, no, no, no, no!
Jun: You don't understand, my mom has to see this.
Tom: She can't.
Jun: Tom, she thinks everything I believe is silly kids stuff. You don't know how that feels. She needs to know the truth. She needs to know her daughter isn't crazy.
Tom: I know. I know, Jun. Believe me, I get it. I wanna tell my mom too, but we just can't. It's too dangerous for the dragons.
Jun: We can't even trust our own moms?
Tom: We can't trust the Rakke Corp, and both of our moms work for them.
Jun: *sighs and puts her phone away* Yeah, okay. You're right.
Tom: Thank you.
Jun: You just said dragons. Plural.
Tom: Well, they know this much, pal. Should we show them the rest? Yeah, I think so too. *mounts Thunder* Your chart said something big was gonna happen. This is pretty big.
Milo: Well uh... I should really go through my chart. Or should I even ride a dragon?
(With that, Jun, Milo and Ann got on Thunder as the Night Light fly out of the cave to the fissure exit. Inside the Hidden World, Tom covering June's eyes to surprise her about the Hidden World.)
Jun: Um, how am I supposed to see anything with you covering my eyes?
Tom: Hold on, hold on. We're almost there. Wow. You never get used to it, do you?
Jun: Get used to what?
Tom: Oh, sorry. *uncovers Jun's eyes*
Jun: *gasps at the sight of the Hidden World* That's a lot of dragons.
Tom: Looks like a whole world of them.
Milo: Wow, look at them. There's - there's dinosaurs, elves, dwarfs, a-a-a-and centaurs! Has this place been here the whole time?
Tom: I don't know. I'm guessing when the fissure was formed, it opened the door. It's unbelievable.
(Then Terrible Terrors flew by as one lands beside Jun.)
Jun: Hello, little guy. I can't believe how friendly they are. I thought all dragons breathed fire and terrorized villages.
Tom: Guess you can't believe everything you read.
(Thunder growls at the sight of Gembreakers.)
Tom: What is it, pal?
Jun: Tom, look!
(The Gembreakers use their horns to bash a crystal, causing some chunks to fall and they eat it. The group of humans saw the large dragons acting like rhinos fighting over territory.)
Milo: Look at that! These dragons kinda look like rhino-beetles.
(They continue to fight until Jun slips and falls down. The Gembreakers their attention to the group. Jun lands into the water, and comes up for air.)
Jun: Okay... that's not good.
(Then something comes towards Jun which turns out to be a fish.)
Jun: *sighs* It's just a fish.
(Then something's up, but this time it's no fish, it was another dragon with a red head. Jun tries to climb but it's too slippery. Then a second one with a blue head pops up. Then it flies out of the water, revealing to be a Mist Twister dragon.)
Jun: Whoa... a two-headed dragon.
(The Mist Twister bumps on one of the crystals, causing some of them to fall.)
Jun: And it's trapped in here with me!
(Meanwhile, Tom, Milo, and Ann are sneaking away from the Gembreakers. The humans gathered up along with Thunder.)
Tom: There you guys are. Where's Jun?
Milo: I thought she was with you.
Ann: We gotta find her, but we need to stay quiet.
(They carefully moved without making too much sound, until they hear a noise.)
Tom: I hope whatever that is, it's not Jun.
(In the cave, the ceiling still crumbles.)
Jun: Will you stop that?!
Mist Twister: *lands near Jun*
Jun: You're the most beautiful creature I've ever seen, but stop almost crushing me!
Tom: Jun, you down there?
Jun: Tom, Milo, Ann! I'm trapped, and there's a two-headed dragon in here!
Milo: Two heads? Interesting.
Tom: Then how do we help?
Jun: I don't think you can. I have to train this dragon.
Milo: I hope you know what you're doing, Jun.
Tom: He's right. Besides, I don't think it's in the mood.
Jun: I have no choice. We can't get out without each other. And if it keeps slamming into the ceiling it's going to kill us both. I didn't just read your chart Tom, I read my own. I think this is my destiny.
Tom: I don't know your destiny looks pretty angry.
Ann: Those tarot cards will not always be right. I should know, a few years ago a gypsy woman said I'd get a promotion in my career. But that hasn't happened!
(They hear more loud noises. They turn to see the Gembreakers' blast getting closer.)
(Jun inhales and exhales thinking of she can training this beast.)
Jun: Okay, my whole life has been leading up to this moment. Mighty dragon of the crystal pool! I am June Wong! I command you come to me! Together we will escape this prison. Here me and obey!
(The Mist Twister lands in front of her, the blue headed dragon breaths ice on one of the ice steps she stood on, which she steps back.)
Jun: Uh oh.
(The red head breaths fire which causes it to shatter like glass and explode, causing her to fly backwards. After landing on her back she realizes the situation now.)
Jun: Okay. Confidently taking command like a wizard, usually works in the stories. Think Jun, think. What else do dragons like?
(She thinks of a way to get the dragon to listen to her but follow orders is different then she remembers her pendent she has around her neck. So she removes her necklace and presents it to the dragon.)
Jun: Treasure. Behold great beast. My priceless treasure.
(At first, they were intrigued by it, they drew closer to June to see it. At first, she thought she was getting somewhere.)
Jun: That's it. Now succumb to me and become my servant. Hey, hey!
(The red head dragon grabs the "treasure". The two fought over it until the blue head swallows it, the red head burps.)
Jun: You're not suppose to eat it! Why isn't any of this working?!
(Tom, Thunder, Milo and Ann are still running from the Gembreakers.)
Milo: Any ideas?
Tom: We gotta shake these guys.
(So the humans and Thunder split up into multiple directions. Tom mounts on Thunder's back and began to fly. The dragons open the beetle shell back to reveal their wings and began to fly and still chase after their prey.)
Tom: Oh great, they can fly too. Okay, I've had about enough of this. Let's light 'em up!
(The Night Light agrees, so he unfolds his tail fin, turns around and electric shocks the three dragons. At first they were stunned but got back up and were now more agitated. So they unfold their wings and returned to flying after the boy and his dragon.)
Tom: Yeah! Eat some lightning!
Milo: Thomas, these dragons are durable and adaptable. Every hit you throw at them will only make them stronger.
Tom: Really? Now you tell me!
(Elsewhere, the Mist Twister is playing with Jun.)
Jun: Put me down! I'm not a chew toy! Stop!
Mist Twister: *throws Jun*
Jun: I'm trying to save you! You need to listen to me!
(The Mist Twister breathed fire and ice which Jun dodged.)
Jun: *sighs* I was so sure that my was the same as Tom's, that these dragons were our destiny. So, why isn't this working? You even remind me of the mythical stories my Aunt Po used to tell me. I'm no dragon trainer, am I? You have no reason to listen to me. This isn't my destiny.
(The blue head comforts Jun, but the red head growls at the blue head.)
Jun: Okay, alright. Enough of that. You have two heads, I have two hands. You don't want to be commanded by a wizard or tricked with treasure, do you? You wanna be respected and revered, just like the dragons in my Aunt Po's stories. You are the Moon. Cool, quiet, and thoughtful. And you are the Sun. Hot, fiery, soulful. Together, you create balance. I am Jun Wong. I am humbled by your majesty. I ask for your acceptance and friendship.
(The Mist Twister places their snouts onto Jun's hands.)
Jun: I should've also remembered my Aunt Po's stories about the Taoist concept of Wu Wei. *mounts Wu* Wu Wei. Effortless action for maximum affect! *falls off*
Wu and Wei: *laughs*
Jun: Okay, alright, alright. Wu Wei is something you strive for, but never achieve, right?
(Wu picks up Jun and puts her on Wei.)
Jun: Okay, enough banging our hands against the ceiling. Let's think of another way.
(Then the crystal room begin to shake.)
Jun: Earthquake! We must think of a way out before we're all crushed!
(Up top, Tom, Thunder, Milo and Ann are still trying to fend off the Gembreakers.)
Tom: These guys just don't give up. Thunder, any ideas?
Milo: This is not what I had in mind!
(Thunder conducts his electrical powers, shoots it in front of them, and turns invisible. The two out of three Gembreakers crash into the crystal, causing them to get stuck.)
Tom: What?! You never told me you could do that! Then again you don't talk.
Jun: Look out! We're going to get crush of we don't get out of here! Wu, Wei. Minimum effort. Use you ice and heat powers together. Like you did before.
Jun: Hurry! Wu, ice!
Wu: *shoots ice at the ceiling*
Jun: Wei, heat!
(Wei breathes fire at the ceiling, causing it to explode.)
Tom: So what does Wu and Wei mean?
Jun: It's a Chinese thing. I'll enlighten you later.
Milo: Knowledge is both a key and power. You have the key to unlock many doors. And with the power comes the greatest question.
Ann: Really? What's that?
Milo: It's what my grandpa used to say.
