Meanwhile, Kayley, Bugs, Daffy and Garrett had walked past the Forbidden Forest and into a barren wasteland.

Garrett started to sniff the air.

"Eh, what's wrong, doc? Have you got a cold?" asked Bugs, only to be shushed by Garrett.

"What is it?" asked Kayley.

"We're in dragon country." said Garrett.

Kayley sniffed the air as well. "You're right."

The group cautiously walked through the land while Kayley asked. "Are you sure this is dragon country? Shouldn't there be a sign or something? It could say: 'Welcome to Dragon Country.' You don't think we'll see any...do you?"

"I hope not." said Daffy.

"Is a group of dragons a pack or a flock?" Kayley went on. "Is it a gaggle or a pride? Is it a herd?"

"Quiet!" hissed Garrett.

"Do you hear something?" asked Kayley.

"No." said Garrett. "I just want you to be quiet."

As Kayley tried to keep up with her friends, a large stone fell in front of her. She looked up, where she could see silhouettes of dragons perched on top of the cliff.

Not looking where she was going, Kayley stepped on a dragon egg. While trying to clean her foot, she heard a dragon's growling.

"Guys, where are you?" she called out.

While running to find a place to hide, she felt someone grab her from inside a cracked dragon egg. It was Garrett, hiding with Bugs and Daffy.

Kayley stood up and gasped. "Dragons!"

And indeed, they were. Well, actually, there were two dragon shadows.

"Where?" asked one of them. "I don't see any dragons!"

Daffy turned and found himself face-to-face with a real dragon. Upon seeing him, he screamed like a little girl and jumped back into Bugs' arms.

"Gee, kid." he said, flatteringly. "I didn't know you cared."

"I don't care!" retorted Daffy, freeing himself from Bugs' grasp

"Oh, heavens!" said the dragon. "Someone's found our hiding place."

"Ah, shut up and let me handle this." said another dragon, who bellowed in a loud voice. "We are dragons! Ferocious, hungry dragons! So go away before we eat you!"

He then held out his arm, whose shadow was shown to be in the form on a monstrous beast, while growling.

"Good show, Corny. That is clever. " said the first dragon. "Here, let me have a go."

He then held up his hand, in the shape of a bunny rabbit.

"Oh, great." groaned the second dragon as he strangled the first one's hand. "Bunny is dead."

Daffy cautiously walked up to the egg and tapped on it. The two dragons' heads popped out of their hiding place. One of them had a long thin neck while the other's was short and fat.

"Please don't hurt us." pleaded the long-necked dragon.

Daffy only scoffed. "And you called yourselves ferocious."

"Uh, well, not exactly." said the short dragon. "The real ferocious ones are those fire-breathing bullies out there."

"They're always picking on us, calling us names, pushing us around. I hate them!" added the long-necked dragon.

Garrett poked his staff at the short dragon, who retaliated. "Hey, hey! Easy with the stick, buddy."

"What are you?" asked Garrett.

"Well, frankly, we're the reason cousins shouldn't marry." explained the long-necked dragon as he rolled out of his hiding place, revealing that he and the short dragon are one.

"Eh, what happened to you and Roy, Siegfried*?" asked Bugs. "Another one of your magic tricks gone wrong?"

"Actually, I'm Devon and this growth on my neck is Cornwall." said the long-necked dragon.

"But you can call me 'Corny,' for short." added Cornwall, his eyes set on Kayley.

"Yeah, short on wit, manners and charm." Devon went on. "Everything I hold dear."

"How about holding your breath?" barked Cornwall.

"Here's a better idea." suggested Daffy. "How about staying away from my girl!"

"Kayley ain't you goil, Daff." said Bugs.

"She is too my girl, you long-eared..." began Daffy before Garrett cut him off, saying, "Less arguing, more walking."

"Hey, hey, where are you going?" asked Cornwall.

"To find Excalibur and bring it back to Camelot!" replied Kayley as she caught up with her friends.

"Excalibur?" said Devon. "You mean the Excalibur, the prized sword of King Arthur?"

"Oh, no you don't. Excalibur ain't yours. It's mine! You understand? All mine!" hollered Daffy as he tried to stomp one of the cracked egg pieces on top of Devon and Cornwall. "Down! Down! Go! Go! Mine!"

Just then, there was a loud roar, followed by another.

"Dragons!" shouted Devon and Cornwall.

At that moment, a dark dragon shot fire out of its mouth, numerously blasting Devon and Cornwall in the butt as they caught up with the others.

"Wait! What is this?" asked Kayley upon seeing a pool of green water.

"Don't worry. It's perfectly safe." said Devon as he and Cornwall hopped through some stones.

Garrett poked his staff in the water, which burned the top of it.

The water was actually toxic acid!

"So long as you don't step in it." added Cornwall.

Kayley, Bugs and Daffy carefully made their way pass the acid while Garrett was having trouble keeping up, unaware that two dragons were flying towards him.

"Garrett, hurry!" Kayley called out.

"I'm trying!" Garrett called back.

Suddenly, another dragon poked its head out of the acidfall, shooting fire out of its mouth, missing Garrett, and dove into the toxic liquid, causing the blind man to ride a wave to the other side.

As Garrett caught up with the others, the dragon bursted out of the acid and flew towards them with his fellow dragons, shooting out fire in every direction, while the group ducked for cover.

"You've got to be kidding me!" said Cornwall as he looked up. "Another one?"

Kayley looked up as well to see a large creature flying through the smoke clouds, realizing...

"That's not a dragon! It's a griffin! And Ruber!"

At that moment, Ruber and his men came charging at them.

"How did they find us?" asked Daffy.

The situation was extremely grim for our heroes. The dragons were getting closer to them on one side and Ruber and his men on the other.

"Quick, down here!" said Cornwall as he and Devon jumped into a hole.

"If you think I'm going down another dumb rabbit hole..." began Daffy before Bugs grabbed him by the neck and jumped into the hole, following Kayley and Garrett down there.

Ruber and his men had arrived too late, only to come face-to-face with the dragons.

Having been cornered, Ruber tossed away his sword as one of the dragons loomed towards him.

"I hate dragons." he said to himself before engaging in a fight with his opponent.
