[Kodi] Thunder Mountain.

Oh, ranger badge. Where are you?

Not in the sofa.

[grunts and gasps]

[giggling]

-[Eddy] Um…
-Looking for this?

Kodi, Summer, I think we have a visitor.



Hi, Coyote.

-[Eddy grunts]
-You'll have to catch me. [laughs]

Come here, Coyote. [gasps]

[Summer] Gimme that badge
before someone sees you.

[grunting]

[Summer giggles]

[gasps]

[grunts]

Uh, oh… [gasps]

[Kodi sighs]

Good catch, Kodi.

That's not just any badge.
It's the Head Ranger Badge.

Eddy's right. After all,
the head ranger is in charge of…

[Kodi, Summer and Eddy]
Every crook, cranny, and critter!

It’s only the greatest,
most important job ever.

[Mom] Has anyone seen my badge?

[all gasp]

What? I gave it back.

-You gotta go back to the Spirit Park.
-[Eddy] Before Mom sees you.

Oh, right.

Smell you later.

Or maybe you'll smell me first.

[sniffs] I haven't had a bath
in a hundred years.

Ucky!

Here you go, Mom.

-We found it.
-[Eddy] With some help.

Thanks, kiddos. Now, who's excited
for the first day of the season?

-Me. Science awaits.
-[Summer] Dad!

-Oh, hi, Dad.
-Cool.

My drone report says
we just missed a mighty storm.

Which means it'll be a perfect first day.

It sure will be.

It's a very special day
for the Skycedar family

and Xus National Park.

Kodi, Summer, Eddy.

As of today,
you are officially junior park rangers!

-Huh?
-Oh!

[gasps]

This is the best day of my life.

My own uniform?

Oh-eee!

[Kodi and Summer giggle]

A-a real ranger?

Are you sure?
You really think we're ready?

Of course I do, Eddy.
You're more ready than you think.

[giggling]

[Mom] These badges are the final piece
to make you official junior rangers.

I wouldn’t give them to you
if you weren’t ready.

You three love this park.
You’re going to be amazing rangers.

I don't know.
I don't feel ready to be a ranger.

[Mom] This park
isn't going to open itself.

It's going to take a family of rangers.

But first, bring it in
for a mama bear hug!

[Dad] Ahh!

[laughter]

[uplifting music plays]

Haku, hikers, I'm Kodi.

-Hi, I'm Summer.
-Eddy.

And we’re junior park rangers!

Oh, I've always wanted to say that.

We’re junior park rangers.
We’re junior park rangers!

We’re going to lead you
on the greatest Chumash hiking trail ever.

I’ll teach you my favorite bird calls.
[imitates a bird]

-It’s a lot easier than it sounds.
-I’ve got the snacks, and Eddy has… Eddy?

And I've got the map!

I'm ready. Sure am.

-[thunder crashes]
-[gasps] Wh-what was that?

This can't be good.

But I thought Dad said
we missed the storm.

Welp, guess we can’t be junior
park rangers today. Time to go inside.

-[Dad] I've never seen anything like it.
-[sighs]

The storm came back
and it's even bigger than before.

Does this mean the hike is… canceled?!

Not just the hike.

If the storm doesn't stop,
we'll have to close the whole park.

Wait, what? We have to close the park?

We have to do something.

Like go home?

No, not home.

What about the spirits?
They might know what's going on.

[Summer laughs]

[sighs]

Okay. Okay. Maybe the spirits
will be able to fix this.

[Kodi] Only one way to find out.

-[thunder crashes]
-[dramatic music plays]

Huh?

[dramatic music continues]

[thunder crashes]

[electricity crackles]

[gasps] Thunderbirds!

When they fly, they make thunderstorms
with their huge wings.

So that's what's making all the rain.

I wonder why they're here.
Thunderbirds live far up north.

[Eddy] Do you think they're okay?

I don't know. But we'd better go
check on them to be sure.

Summer, why don't you just zip up there
all fast like you do

and ask them if they need help?
Then we can go home.

Genius idea. I'll be right back
in two shakes of a tail feather.

Shake-shake. [grunts]

Almost…

[thunder crashes]

…there!

Whoa!

[Kodi] Gotcha.

Phew! Thanks, Kodi.

Well, you gave it your birdie best.

If you can't fly to them
and they can't fly to us,

we should just go home.

[gasps] Eddy, that's it.

It is?

I mean, course it is.

But remind me.

We just have to bring
the thunderbirds to us.

I know the perfect caw.

To call a thunderbird,
you need to stomp like thunder.

Then call out like this.

[echoing] Caw, caw!

-Ca-caw, ca-caw!
-Caw! Caw!

-Caw, caw!
-Ca-caw, ca-caw!

[Summer and Kodi continue cawing]

It's working!

[exciting music plays]

-[thunderbird panting]
-[Kodi] Whoa!

-I thought I heard someone calling us.
-Me too. Sky?

-Is that you?
-Hi. Down here.

My brother and sister and I
are here to help.

[Summer] Yep. You're a long way from home.
Is everything okay?

-[thunder crashes]
-And who's Sky?

Sky is our baby thunderbird.

We can't find her anywhere.
We've been searching all day.

We were supposed to fly home
to Thunder Mountain today,

but when it was time to leave,
she wasn't with us.

-We're not going anywhere without her.
-We'll help you find Sky.

Don't wanna brag, but I'm pretty good
at sniffing things out.

And I'm super fast.

And I'm… not sure this is a good idea.

Thank you. We can cover more of the park
if we separate.

Squawk if you see anything.
We'll come straight over.

[mom thunderbird] Sky?

Sky, baby, where are you?

[tense music plays]

-[thunder crackles]
-[Eddy yelps]

-[Eddy] You guys keep looking without me.
-Eddy, what's wrong?

I'm too scared.
I don't think I'm ready to be a ranger.

I'm just a kid, and a turtle.

Who am I to save the day?

Mom and Dad make it look so easy,

but it's a big job.

You're right, it is. But we know the park
like the back of our wings.

I mean, we know it better than anyone.

We don’t have to know everything.

We just have to be willing
to try our best.

-What if I mess up?
-We won't mess up.

We're a team.
We'll face any storm together.

-[thunder crashes]
-[yelping]

I hope Sky is okay.
The storm is getting stronger.

[Eddy] What if we can't find her
because she's hiding?

Maybe she's scared.

That's it, Eddy.

If you were a scared thunderbird,
where would you hide?

[Eddy] There. That's where I'd go.

That cave looks as cozy as my shell.

[dramatic music plays]

[mysterious music plays]

You're right, Eddy. She's inside!

Which means she must be pretty scared.
Maybe you should talk to her?

I don't know.

[Eddy sighs]

Haku, baby thunderbird.

I'm Eddy.

Sky, you in there?

I don't think she's in--

Oh, hi. Hello.

Um, are you okay?

Scared.

I know exactly how you feel.

Wanna know a secret?
I’ve been pretty scared today too.

It’s a big day for both of us.

Especially you.

You have to fly home to Thunder Mountain.

[thunder crashes]

[Sky] Boom-boom. Scary.

[Eddy] Yep, boom-boom is scary.

But as long as you know what thunder is,
you know it can’t hurt you.

That sound is just
your folks flapping their wings.

Flap-flap?

You know, you don't have to know
everything about being a thunderbird

on your first flight.

You just have to be willing
to try your best.

You're more ready than you think you are,
so you don't have to be scared.

Ready to come out now?

[hopeful music plays]

[gasps] She's out of the cave!

And you came out of your shell.

-Mama? Dada?
-[mom thunderbird] Sky, where are you?

Let's get her back to her family.
Everyone ready?

-Rawr, ready.
-[Eddy] Ready.

[all caw]

[mom thunderbird] Sky! Sky!

There you are.

We were so worried.
Can't thank you enough, little ones.

We help protect the park.

Every crook, cranny, and critter.

She was a little scared to fly, but now
that she knows she's with her family,

she's ready to face the storm.

Boom-boom.

-[Eddy gasps]
-Caw, caw.

-[Sky caws]
-[Eddy] Uh, whoa!

Ah, now, that's what I call
a beautiful day.

Just like Dad's drone said it would be.

That means there's still time
to lead the hike.

If you're ready, Eddy.

E-E-Eddy?

Come on. We have a hike to save.

I don't know what happened,
but the storm is just gone.

Does that mean
we can lead our first hike now?

-I've got the snacks.
-I've got the bird whistles.

And I've got the map.
I hear there's a cave at the top.

It's a little scary,
but definitely worth it.

We're ready if you three are.
What do you say?

Yep, I'm ready. Everyone, follow me.

[uplifting music plays]

[Kodi] Snoozing Sun.

[grunting]

[Summer] Cannonball!

-[Summer grunts]
-[giggles] Now, that’s a splash.

There’s no way Kodi can beat it.

What do you say, Kodi?

Think you can make
a bigger splash than your little sister?

And ruin my brand-new ranger uniform?

I don’t think so.

Come on. It’s a really hot day.
The cold mud will feel great on your fur.

I mean, skin.

No way. Real rangers
don’t have messy uniforms.

They’re heroes.

And heroes look good. Like me.

Hey, I look like a hero.

[Summer squeals]

-Most of the time.
-[Eddy giggles]

I have a better idea.

Let’s see what DeeDee is up to.

[Summer] Solid plan.

[Summer and Eddy flap lips]

[Kodi] DeeDee, where are you?

[suspenseful music plays]

[Kodi sniffs]

-Sniffing for me?
-[Summer] DeeDee!

-[Eddy] Hi, DeeDee.
-[Kodi] Bear hug!

Hiya, Junior Rangers.
Watch out for the camera.

Ooh, is the camera
to take pictures of our new uniforms?

I got lots of poses.

"Proud bear" pose.

"All-Star" pose.

-"Kodi the hero" pose.
-Oh, maybe we’ll take pictures later.

I was going to take pictures
of the park condors.

Or, as we say
in the Samala Chumash language, almiyi.

Almiyi? That’s my favorite bird.

Actually, all birds are my favorite bird.

But I love condors.

And they love the sunset.

You’re right, Summer. They fly
over the park every day at sunset.

Problem is, the sun doesn’t look like
it’s going down anytime soon.

Oh, that must be why it's so hot.

[DeeDee] I should
go find your dad. [chuckles]

He’ll know the exact hour,
minute, and second the sun will set.

Hm. It is getting late.
Doesn't the sun usually go down by now?

Eddy's right, you know.

-[Kodi] Lizard!
-[Summer] Hi, Onokok.

You need to follow me.
But be quick. I’m extra zippy.

My cold blood is warm with all this heat.
Lizards react to temperature.

Lizard, what are you talking about?

Oh. The spirits need your help. Follow me.

-[Eddy] I wish we could go through walls.
-We can do something better.

[exciting music plays]

[gasps] Spirit Rangers! There you are.

You won't believe what happened.
You'll never guess. It's wild.

-[snoring]
-Um, Sunny is snoozing on the park?

Ooh, you Spirit Rangers are good.

Real good.

We know.

Allow me to introduce myself.
I go by many names.

I am Almiyi the Amazing,
the Great Bird of the West,

the Courageous Condor,
or the Handsomest in all the Land.

We just call him Condor.

Here’s the deal, Spirit Rangers.

If Sunny doesn’t get back into the sky,
he’ll never wake up.

And if he doesn’t wake up,
then he’ll never set,

which means nighttime will never come.

And that’s when I do my best pranks.

I have the silliest one ever
planned for tonight.

[grunts and groans]

Hey, you were supposed to wait for my cue.

Coyote’s not even telling you
the worst part.

If it’s too bright out,

I can’t get my beauty sleep.

[Kodi] How exactly
are we supposed to move the sun?

I could totally do it if I wanted.

[epic music plays]

[Coyote groans]

But I don’t want to. Otherwise,
I won’t have energy to prank later.

So the only other spirit strong enough
to move that big ball of light--

That would be me.

-[Kodi grunts]
-[Summer gasps]

-[Eddy] Whoa!
-[Summer] Wow!

Oh, are you admiring these old things?

Wow, your feathers are amazing.

I know. Condors are legendary
for having bold and heroic feathers.

I must say, your fur is quite magnificent.

Not like my feathers, obviously.
So you can leave the hero work to me.

But your feathers! What’ll happen
if you get too close to the sun?

I hadn't really thought about that.

They'll probably get scorched
from the heat.

-Maybe this isn't a good idea.
-Oh, but it is. You'll be a hero.

But I won’t look like a hero.

Not without my stupendous feathers
at least.

No amount of beauty sleep
can fix feather burns.

Don't worry. We'll find another way.
Spirit Rangers, let's go.

[exciting music plays]

We can pull Sunny with the lasso.

Yee-haw! [grunts]

[Summer] Bull's-eye. Everybody, grab on.

[Lizard] Whoa!

[everybody strains]

[squealing]

Sunny’s too hot.
The sun rays burned the vines to a crisp.

If Sunny's too hot,
maybe we can cool him down?

[grunting]

[exciting music plays]

Spirit splash.

[Sunny snores]

Wow, he turned that water into steam.

Aw, turtle toes.

I was sure that would work.

That tickles! Quit it!

That's it. What if we tickle Sunny awake?

We just need something soft.

-Don't look at me.
-Oh, I got this.

-[Sunny snores]
-Tickle, tickle, tickle.

-Moon…
-[Summer] It's working!

[Condor] Bravo, Coyote.

And not a single feather
of mine was ruined.

Ah, my tail!

Hot. [whimpers]

-[water sizzles]
-Ah, much better.

[Sunny] Need pillow.

-[snores] Cool side of the Earth.
-[Coyote] Never mind. Much worse.

-[Summer] Run! Hurry!
-[Lizard] Great ball of fire!

-[Kodi] Look out!
-[Coyote yells]

[Coyote] Stay on your side of the bed!

I mean, Earth! Agh!

[Eddy] I can't look!

-[Lizard] Faster!
-I'm going as fast as I can.

Sunny's gaining on us.
I have to do something.

[dramatic music plays]

But your glorious fur!

My fur doesn't matter.

You guys do.

[Kodi grunts]

[Kodi strains]

My fur!

Kodi?

[Eddy] Kodi!

What is he doing?

A little help here.

I’m stuck between a rock
and… another hard rock!

Hang on. If Sunny rolls over again,
Kodi will be toasted like fry bread.

I love fry bread, but not if it’s me.

His heroic fur is ruined.
Why would he do such a thing?

-[Eddy] He did it so we could be safe.
-[Summer] That is what heroes do.

Ah.

You’re right.
And his fur didn’t make him a hero.

His actions did.

I have to be a hero too!

I'm coming, Kodi! [squawks]

[Condor strains]

Oh!

[triumphant music plays]

[Condor squawks]

-[Summer] Kodi!
-[Eddy] You're free.

-[Lizard] I was so worried.
-Thank you.

Actually, Condor is the one
we should be thanking.

[Sunny snores]

[Kodi] Condor, is that you?

Sunburned feathers and all.

I know you didn't wanna ruin
your feathers. Are you okay?

Okay?

Oh, I'm not okay at all.

I'm fabulous!

They're bold. They're majestic.

-They're--
-Heroic.

That's the word I was looking for.

You're a hero,
no matter what your feathers look like.

And I gotta say, they look cool.

Thanks for saving me.

It’s me who should be thanking you.

When I saw you
sacrifice yourself for our friends,

you inspired me to do the same.

♪ I looked so heroic ♪

♪ My feathers were pristine ♪

♪ Regal, bold, and stoic ♪

♪ With a certain stylish, stately sheen ♪

[Condor] ♪ You’ll know a hero

[Sunny yawns]

[sniffs] Why does it smell like
burnt feathers up here?

Sunny, you shouldn't still be here.

It's nighttime, silly.

What took you so long to move?
It's my turn to watch the park.

I had the most sun-tastic nap
with the craziest dream.

-Wanna hear?
-[Moon] Do I have a choice?

Sunsets are so pretty.

-DeeDee must be loving this.
-DeeDee!

There’s still time to help her
with her photo. Let’s hurry.

Bye, everybody.

Thank you, Spirit Rangers.

Good day to you.

I mean, good night.

Oh, the condors should be here any minute.

-Agh!
-[Kodi] I got it.

Thanks, Kodi.

I'm just sorry
your new uniform got all muddy.

Nothing is more important
than helping your friends. Right?

-[Summer and Eddy] Right.
-[giggling]

So why did you need a sunset photo today
and not tomorrow?

[DeeDee] Today is the summer solstice.
It’s the longest day of the year.

Just imagine the sun took his sweet time
leaving the park today.

[laughs] We can imagine.

[upbeat music plays]

[upbeat music ends]
