Metalmouth rubbed sleep from his eyes. “Ah, gee-whiz, do we have to go now? I just built my nest.”

“What’s going on in the Land of Rain?” Ben asked.

“Well, I’m afraid it’s real bad news.” Violet the switchboard operator shook her head sadly. “The rain dragon is dyyyyying.”

This much Ben knew—the creature was called a rain dragon and it lived in the Land of Rain. But it wasn’t simply sick or injured—it was dying! And they were supposed to save it. He glanced at the black satchel. How could he and Pearl save a dragon’s life when they’d had zero medical training?

“Shouldn’t we wait for Dr. Woo?” he asked.

As Metalmouth yawned again, his steamy breath blew over Ben’s head. “Yeah, let’s wait.”

“We can’t wait, you guys. The rain dragon needs help right now.” Pearl squared her shoulders and gave Violet a determined look. “Tell us what to do.”

“I like your spunky attitude, little darlin’. I can tell we’ll get along just fiiiiine.” Violet reached across the switchboard panel and pushed a large yellow button. A distant sound arose, thundering and crashing like an approaching storm.

“What’s happening?” Ben hollered as the howling grew louder. Wind began to gather in the center of the room, whipping round and round, forming a mini tornado.

“That’s the Portal,” Metalmouth said. He scratched behind one of his horns. “I hate going in there.”

“What?” Ben furrowed his brow. “We’re supposed to go inside that tornado? Are you kidding? You’re kidding, right?” Metalmouth shook his head.

“Cool,” Pearl said. The swirling wind had kicked up the glitter, turning the tornado yellow.

“Wait a minute.” Stories began to form in Ben’s mind, reasons why he couldn’t step inside a tornado and go to a place that had no map and that no one in his family had ever heard of. “My eardrums were injured when I went scuba diving, so I’m not supposed to be in a tornado, or any kind of windstorm.”
