-[giggle] -[peaceful music playing]
Hey guys,
there's something following us.
Great. Maybe we can ask for directions.
[Mateo] I don't see anything, Coop.
Oh, great.
Now which way?
[both grunt]
A giant turtle.
[Logan] Just when I thought this place
couldn't get any weirder.
[Mateo] Is that...
Oh, what are you doing here?
There is a storm coming.
Mrs. Castillo! Senor Tortuga!
Actually, we're looking for the Dream Forge.
Hm. A forge.
[Mrs. Castillo mumbles, chuckles]
Bro, you're asking directions from a lady
driving a pawn shop.
[Mrs. Castillo grunts]
Nice.
[mutters] No.
No. I got nothing.
-[thunder rumbles] -[Izzie groans]
Oh!
[thunder rumbles]
[ominous music playing]
Darkness falls
and nightmares are soon to follow.
The realm is in danger.
Guys!
We need to get to the Dream Forge
before we wake.
Yeah, we may lose our chance to become Dream Chasers.
Okay... Uh, Mateo!
What's the plan?
We need to keep going towards the forest.
Dude, don't look at him.
That little green blob doesn't make him the boss.
He had us going in circles.
[grunts] Lo-gan the Barbarian,
on the other hand,
was born to command.
Relax, all of you.
I'll lead us there. Duh.
-Izz. -What?
Who else stole
-a totally awesome crossbow... -Ah! Woah woah woah! Crossbow!
-...from that Night Hunter dude? -Hey!
Izzie, put that away before you hurt someone.
Or yourself.
Guys! Regardless of who's in charge,
which way are we going?
Go ahead, fearless leader.
Which direction?
I say we go that way.
-[bird screeching] -Uh!
[Mateo grunts]
[Izzie screams]
Izzie!
[Mrs. Castillo] See? Darkness.
Yep. It got weirder.
[theme music playing]
[grunts] Oof!
[grunts]
And stuck the landing.
Wow!
You're so beautiful.
[screeching]
[grunts]
Back off, you big owl-cat-eagle looking thingy.
I'm warning you.
-[screeching] -Ah!
[softly humming music]
Hey, that music.
[yelps]
Oh!
If you want this bow,
you're gonna have to take it from me.
[clock ticking]
[grunts, yelps]
Done. Anything else?
You thief!
That was...
so flipping awesome.
How'd you do it?
I'm not a thief.
I'm a bandit.
And where did you get this crossbow?
Hey, you're the new girl at school
who pretends to be too cool for everything.
Who says I'm pretending?
-[Grimspawns shrieking] -[screaming]
-[Mateo grunts] -[Cooper gasps]
Are you crazy?
Guys, we need to sneak in
and see if Izzie was brought here.
Oh, first you weren't ready to face the Forge
and now you want us to sneak in there and play hero.
[scoffs] You're all over the place, bro.
I have to agree with Lo-gan the Barbarian here.
We need to focus on getting back to the Forge and Mr. Oz.
Maybe he'll know how to find Izzie.
[gasps]
-[Grimspawns cackle] -[Dreamlings whimper]
[all screaming]
[growls]
[Logan] Is this bad?
[Mateo] Oh, did we not tell you about those?
[Dreamlings scream]
-[screaming continues] -[Logan] I think it's bad.
[chains clang]
[Susan] Look at all those ideas.
[evil cackling]
-[Sneak] I wanna see. -[Susan] Will you just let go.
-No, you had your turn. -You're such a credit hog.
[Nightmare King] I heard you lost your weapon.
I... I'll craft a new one.
Using your imagination.
How quaint.
And these pesky children?
We'll find them.
I have my best soldiers scouring the realms.
Capturing kids is what they're trained for.
Hey, it's my turn to give it to him.
Even so,
they have escaped you.
[Snivel] Oh, here comes the good part.
Corrupting new realms.
Building your army.
We could use more Grimspawn.
[Nightmare King] No, you're right.
Let me show you how to properly harness imagination.
I don't care what it takes.
Oz and those children
must not succeed.
Oh, I just love this part.
Yes, your Nightmarishness.
You, you're... you're not gonna replace us, are you?
[Sneak] Hiya fellas.
-Fly my pretties. -Welcome to the party.
[Sneak] Hey- hey, wait for us.
[Nightmare King] Show these kids
what a true nightmare feels like.
[evil cackle]
So, you need to get back to this Dream Forge to get an hourglass?
All so you can join some
secret organization that has a bunch of rules
for what you can and can't do in the Dream World?
Yeah, there are rules.
You know how teachers are.
But mostly it's training so we can fight the Nightmare King.
You should join.
I've been fighting this battle for a while now.
I don't need some old science teacher
or lame kids telling me how to fight it.
And you shouldn't either.
In fact, I'm surprised you would let anyone tell you what to do.
You seem tough enough to me.
I mean, ye- well,
yeah, you're right.
Great. That's settled.
Now you can go.
You shouldn't even be here.
Take it up with this fella.
He's the one who brought me, Zoey.
[scoffs] It's Zian.
Oh! [gasps]
Is that like your Dream World code name?
No, his name is Zian.
He's a really dangerous gryphon.
Hey, why were you singing the Night Hunter song?
It is not his song.
It's mine.
He took it from me.
That's what he does.
Wow, he steals people's music?
He can't just write his own material?
Did you not copyright your song?
He doesn't just steal music.
Oh my gosh Izzie, you're giving me a headache.
Look,
the Night Hunter takes things that are meaningful.
And he uses them against you.
Like Mr. Sharkyjaw.
[screeching]
Zian thinks you should help me get back to the Dream Forge,
become a Dream Chaser
and then we can rescue Mr. Sharkyjaw.
How do you...
Do I look like someone who would help you?
You look like someone who protests pizza day at school.
Are you really all brooding, dark, and mysterious
because of some stolen song?
You're just a kid.
You wouldn't get it.
Right. Yeah, I totally don't know what it's like
to suddenly discover another world
where I immediately lose something important to me.
I am, alas,
two grades below
the wise old Zoey
who has awesome dream-time powers
but chooses to sit alone in a cave
with a bunch of junk
she probably stole from other people's dreams.
I'm a bandit.
Not a thief.
There's a difference, you know.
I don't steal things from people.
I make things right.
Then help me make things right.
Come on. We have to help them.
Oh now he's giving orders again.
[Grimspawns laugh]
[thudding]
[Grimspawns laugh]
[Logan] Being on a team with you is the worst.
I could totally be done by now if i did this solo.
That's your problem. You think you're better than everyone.
I know I am.
-Yeah? Prove it. -Guys!
Now is not the time.
Only thing I'm gonna prove
is that I can rearrange your face, Matty.
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
[Grimspawns screaming]
Quick! This way.
No! This way.
[Cooper] Stop arguing.
We need to figure out what we're doing.
Uh, good luck with that. I'm outta here.
Alright Mateo,
what's your gut telling you now?
That we shouldn't be fighting each other.
[all gasp]
[Logan] And it just got weirder.
Again.
[action music playing]
Is that... Izzie?
[screeching]
Move it or lose it, sweethearts.
[Grimspawns grunt]
[screams]
I have so many questions.
So many.
[Izzie] Get up here.
[growls]
Let's go.
[evil cackle]
[Zoey grunts]
[sighs]
Yeah, Zoey! Thank you.
You are so awesome.
Whoa, Izz.
We are not BFF's now.
Don't even think about texting me.
Not a single emoji, understand?
[Izzie] Aw, I don't even have a phone.
[suspenseful music playing]
[thunder rumbles]
I'm sorry,
but I can stay no longer.
Wait! Please!
They just need more...
time.
[dialogue playing in reverse]
[clock ticking]
[screeching]
Mr. Oz!
[breathes heavily]
Did we... Did we make it?
Good. I'm afraid this may be your only chance.
Now hurry! We don't have time.
[thunder rumbles]
If the Nightmare King corrupts the Forge,
we may not get another chance.
It's now or never.
Okay?
Yeah, I'm getting off this crazy train.
Wait, seriously?
You're gonna play the whole
"too cool for school" thing? Now?
Please kids, you have to go now.
Anyone who has any doubts should turn back now.
The further you go inside,
the heavier the toll will be
if you leave before the trial is complete.
Leave? You mean wake up?
The Forge wants you to wake.
But waking in fear
can have disastrous consequences.
A true Dream Crafter must embrace this fact.
Don't let fear rob you of your creativity.
Remember what makes all of you special.
Your imagination.
With that power, anything is possible.
[Logan] I hope I won't get sand in my boxers.
I hate that.
[stone door sliding shut]
Do you really think we'll capture those kids at the Forge?
Yeah, those kids have a way of escaping us, don't they?
Yeah, and making the Nightmare King so mad.
He only gets mad at the Grimspawn
who were actually at the battle.
And he would probably love an update.
He probably needs an update.
You guys go ahead
and attack the Dream Forge, okay?
We're gonna go back to, uh,
tell the Nightmare King
what a great job you're doing. Ha-ha.
Hey, you got this.
[Cooper] We can do this.
We'll get through it together.
Don't worry, you're not alone.
Yo! You're holding up...
[all screaming]
Got sand in my boxers. I knew it.
Everyone! Stay calm.
Remember, the Forge is trying to scare us.
[grunts] Well, it's doing
a pretty good job.
No, no, no, no, no... Oop.
-Oh forget this. -Logan, wait!
[Cooper] We're not supposed to wake up in here.
That slimy two-faced--
When I get my hands on that turkey, I'm gonna sh--
[Mateo] Izzie!
No! No, no, no, no. Z-Blob!
-[thunder rumbles] -[Grimspawns laugh]
Houston, we have a problem.
[growls]
The Dream Forge cannot fall to the Nightmare King's forces.
We gotta buy these kids some time.
Nothing comes across. Nothin'.
[indistinct humming]
[screams]
-[Cooper's mom] Cooper, honey? -Mom?
[Nightmare King laughs]
[screams]
Weird. It's like I'm in one of those claw machines.
[gasps] Mr. Sharkyjaw!
[gasps]
Ah!
[screams]
[ominous music playing]
Are you having a bad dream, Mateo?
Just wake up,
and it'll all be over.
-[yelps] -[Nightmare King laughs]
[panting]
-[screams] -[Nightmare King laughs]
[Cooper's mom] Have you done your homework, Cooper?
Don't forget about the test tomorrow.
You really should put more effort
into your soccer practice.
You never kept your grades up, did you, Cooper?
It's why you got cut from the team.
You let us all down.
[Cooper's mom] Just wake up, Cooper.
I know you're scared.
[Izzie grunts]
Crush yourself, pal.
[yelps]
Mateo?
I don't want to be here anymore.
That's right.
Mateo,
remember it wants you to quit.
It's using your fear to get you to quit.
The Forge is using our fears against us.
[Nightmare King] Just wake up, Mateo,
and this could all be over.
[grunts]
Cooper! It's trying to get you to quit.
[echoing] Cooper! It's trying to get you to quit!
I'll see you again soon, buddy.
[grunts]
Guys, I'm coming out.
Mateo, where do you think you're going?
You are not excused.
To get my hourglass.
[Grimspawn yells]
[tense music playing]
Hold them squirrely little demons back.
Albert!
Things aren't looking so great.
[Albert] Old man, your powers of observation are stunning.
[Zoey] Heads up!
[Zian screeching]
[growls]
Thanks for clearing the space I need
for this!
Albert, not the banana!
Nothing gets across.
Remember?
[effort grunt]
Maybe I shouldn't have gone with the banana.
[Zian screeching]
Are you sure you don't want to be a Dream Chaser?
[Zoey] Like I said,
I don't need to join your little club.
No, but dang it, we need you.
[Nightmare King] They keep opposing me!
[angry shout]
[all gasp]
-Why is it so... -Creepy?
Hey, I think...
I think we're still in the Forge.
Okay, so,
where's the hourglasses?
Maybe through the door.
Right. Let's go.
[yelps]
[tense music playing]
[laughs]
[Cooper's mom] Have you done your homework?
[Trophies] You never kept your grades up, did you, Cooper?
Izz. Coop.
This could be the final trial.
[laughs]
How are we supposed to DreamCraft anything
awesome enough to fight these things,
if we don't have an hourglass?
[Mateo] If we need an hourglass
to fight this battle,
then we craft one.
Right.
But how?
Just like Mr. Oz taught us.
Choose an object.
Use that to spark your creativity.
And then focus on your idea.
I'll show you power.
[Izzie screams]
[screams]
You never kept your grades up, did you, Cooper?
You're letting everybody down, including your family.
Did we do it?
You know, I think we did.
[laughs] Yes!
Whoa. What is that?
[Izzie] It's a sapling, silly.
And we're keeping it.
Let's go so we can plant it on our real landing.
Yeah, Mateo. I like that.
You know what, so do I.
Let's go.
I hope they come out soon. I'm out of sand.
Whoa, whoa, what? Here they come.
Whoo-hoo! We dit it!
[Izzie] Mateo, you're a genius.
That was incredible.
Where's Logan? Did he not make it?
That turkey quit before we even got in.
These old timers almost didn't make it either.
The Nightmare King's forces may have retreated tonight,
but make no mistake,
his corruption is still a threat.
I've never seen so many.
Why does he care about a bunch of goofy kids?
Young lady, these goofy kids
will make a very big impression soon,
even on someone as cool as you.
But, I think the Nightmare King
might be more interested in this.
Hold on,
is... is that...
Lunia's hourglass? Yes.
Who's Lunia?
[sighs] The last Dreamkeeper.
Legend has it,
she used that hourglass to defeat the Nightmare King
long ago.
Well, that explains a lot.
Can you fix it?
[scoffs] That is beyond my capabilities.
Why? Don't you make hourglasses here?
The Forge is unlike any other place
in the Dream World.
But it is not where hourglasses are made.
It is where Dream Chasers are forged.
[Cooper] So,
how do we fix it?
For that,
you must seek out the Sandman.
[Mr. Oz] And we will.
Now that we have the tools,
we'll find the Sandman
and take our fight to the Nightmare King.
What about Logan?
[sighs]
Well, we'll have to see if the Forge
took its toll on Logan.
Hopefully he'll have a chance to try again.
Only time will tell.
Uh, speaking of time, Mr. Oz, uh,
we gotta wake up for school soon because
I got a really big test tomorrow
and I really,
really need to do well on it.
Yeah, maybe you could write a note
excusing us from class?
[laughs]
Ah, in your dreams, young lady.
[Albert] Well old chap,
it's a small start, but a good one.
I'm still not sure they'll have what it takes.
[Mr. Oz] Well,
all great things grow from humble beginnings, Albert.
[whimsical music playing]
[Cooper] This is Cooper.
Why aren't you texting?
You woke up too, right?
I mean, yeah, of course.
Everyone woke up.
Not just me? Right?
Right?
[closing theme music playing]
