(low, eerie music) (rat squeaking)
- Back again so soon, Yin Wi?
- Yeah, we just kicked your butt outta here
less than an hour ago.
- Hmm, looks like I underestimated you golden goody-goods.
I thought your guards would be down.
- Wrong again, rat lips.
- Then you never had a chance to recharge your bands,
which means you're low on power.
- Maybe.
But that won't stop us
from kicking a little rodent tail.
- Kho?
What are you doing here?
- Um, I smelled a rat so I dropped by.
Is this a private party, or can anyone dance?
- Hey, the more the merrier.
- We heard some blasts.
What's ha--
(monkey yelling)
(rocks crumbling)
(frog croaking)
- Yuck!
Monkey hair.
Well, gotta go.
See you, suckers!
- Nice shooting there, Ticks.
- Yeah, like it's my fault I got hit by...
Hey, where is Xuan Chi?
- At least Yin Wi didn't get what she came for.
- Alas, that is of little comfort.
This is her third attempt in as many days.
It appears that Yin Wi will keep trying
until she achieves her goal
and steals the golden dragon powerbands.
("Legend of the Dragon Theme")
- Nice work.
Why not send them a note next time?
Be back at nine.
Hope you can whip me and--
(choking) (lazer zapping)
- Who knew arms could talk and fly?
- Release him.
- Uh, whatever.
- You are a disgrace to the forces of evil and depravity.
- Look, can we just drop the drama?
That is so last millennium.
- I beg your pardon?
- Come on, Brother.
Do you really think I just expected to waltz in
and steal their bands?
- What else?
- Hello?
I've been probing their defenses.
It was a test.
- Then what did this test teach you?
- That before I'm done,
those golden goons and their pals
are going to be asleep on their feet.
- Sleep deprivation?
Hmm, interesting approach.
- They'll never know when we'll hit again,
so they'll have to be on guard 24/7.
- Very well, Yin Wi.
You may proceed with your strategy.
But know that if you fail again,
you will not only feel the shame of defeat,
but my wrath as well.
(blows raspberry)
- Oh, I'm gonna get those bands
and finish off those golden pains in the process.
(straining)
- Leave it alone, will you, Ang?
- I'm just asking Kho a question.
Kho, you have this dog-like sense of smell, right?
- Yeah, what of it?
- But you can't sniff out Yin Wi?
Even when she's in the room?
- No.
She's so good at shapeshifting,
she even smells like a cat or a door,
or whatever she wants to.
- Well, at least Kho can tell this is the real you,
'cause you stink at defending your flank.
- Well, I'm a little tired, okay.
- Guys!
Master Chin wants to see everyone in the temple.
Right away.
- Just trying to be useful.
- I'm glad someone around here is.
- It appears that our old friend Ming,
the Rat Temple Guardian, is in danger.
- How do we know Win Yi
isn't just messing with the signal?
What if it's a trick to get us out of here
so she can get inside our temple again?
- It is not the temple that interests her,
but your bands.
- Yeah, of course.
I'm sorry.
- Still, we will take precautions to guard the dragon shine.
Kho can remain here with me,
while the rest of you go to Taiwan.
(orchestral music)
- Don't even think about it.
- Huh?
Oh, Beingal.
I was resting my eyes.
- Relax.
It's okay to admit you're exhausted.
Yin Wi's been messing with you nonstop for days.
You're only human.
- I know but I can't relax.
Not even for a second.
We're up against something that's--
- Major.
I know.
But remember, Ang,
the branch cannot grow a flower
if it bends so much that it breaks.
- One of Master Chin's fortune cookies?
- (laughing) No, I heard it on talk radio.
- Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.
Please bring your tray tables and monkeys
to an upright position.
We're going in.
- Why'd you stop?
The dock's another mile up the tunnel.
- I know,
but if this is a trap,
I figure it would be better
if we don't make such a big entrance.
- Jet skis?
- Way better than jet skis.
Super dragon hover skis.
Totally silent and highly maneuverable over any surface.
Listen, what say we have monkey boy stay put?
Just in case?
(monkey chattering)
- Whoa, look, what Ling meant was
you stay here and guard the jet
in case someone tries to steal it, okay?
- No, what I meant was
he should stay put in case
you try to use him like a tetherball again.
- Yeah, but by putting it my way,
no feelings get hurt.
- I got a feeling that's a new look.
(yelling)
- Looks like we did get here in time.
- Power Double Golden Dragon! - Power Double Golden Dragon!
- And Power The Tiger!
- They really are dumb as rocks.
- There's probably more inside.
I'll go first.
You cover me.
- No, I'll go, you cover.
- No, I'll cover.
- No, no, me.
- No, me.
- Me!
- Would one of you just do it?
- The shrine's gone, which means--
- Yin Wi has the rat guardian's band.
We've got to catch her.
- Good luck.
She's long gone by now.
- No, someone's still here.
(sniffing)
Kho's not the only one with a nose for trouble.
Plus, I've got the eye of the tiger too.
(background drumming)
- Give it up, Yin Wi!
You're cornered!
- That's not Yin Wi.
It's--
- Ming, the Temple Guardian.
- Ah!
Keep her away!
She's a Shadow Dragon.
- No, no, no.
Chill out.
I'm on your side.
- Why are you waiting?
Hit her with something.
- Ming, it's okay, it's okay.
Ling's cool.
She's a golden dragon now, like me.
- It's true,
and I'm sorry about, you know,
the last time we met.
- Sure you are.
- Ming, tell us what happened.
- I was here in the temple
when I sensed an evil presence.
I thought it was you.
- Hey, I said I was sorry, okay?
- I knew I had no chance against so powerful an enemy,
so I hide my shrine
and then shapeshifted so they couldn't find me.
- Good thinking, Ming.
- But it drains my band and me
to hold a shift for so long.
I was growing weak, when you--
- It's okay, Ming.
You're with friends now.
Then what happened?
- I saw who was here.
The Shadow Rat!
She was furious that she could not find me
or my shrine,
so she began firing blasts,
destroying my temple.
- Well, at least she missed you.
- If you had not arrived when you did,
I may not have been go lucky.
- I guess we spooked her off.
- Get real, Ang.
Yin Wi probably went off to get reinforcements.
So if we leave and she comes back...
Mouse burger.
- Ling!
- No, she is correct.
They surely would capture me.
What am I to do?
I can't stay here anymore,
now that they know where to find me.
- Master Chin would know what to do.
Fire up those hover skis, sis.
Ming, this is Kho.
- But he is a Shadow Guardian.
- Just your friendly neighborhood Shadow Wolf
at your service.
- What is he doing here?
- Relax, you can trust him.
- Coming from you,
that is not exactly reassuring.
- I cannot catch a break with her.
- Ming!
How good to see you.
- Thank you for letting me stay here with you, Master Chin.
- (laughing) Of course, of course.
It will be like the old days
when I trained you to be the Rat Guardian.
- Yes, those were wonderful times.
- Indeed they were.
But you must be tired after your old deal.
I suggest we all turn in.
- (yawning) But, but don't you wanna hear about--
- (laughing) It can wait until morning, Ang.
Besides, you, more than anyone
could use some sleep.
- Yeah, I guess.
- Kho, why do you not stay the night as well?
I would greatly appreciate it.
- Oh, yeah.
This will be,
fun.
(snickering)
- Sweet dreams, little Ling.
- Aren't you gonna sing me a lullaby?
- Actually, I think you are the one
who's going down for a nap.
(groaning)
I'll take that power band, Yin Wi.
- Did you get her?
- Just like Master Chin planned.
(blowing raspberry)
- What's all the...
Where's Ming?
- She was never here.
It was Yin Wi all along,
doing one of her famous impressions.
- And why didn't I get a memo on this?
- (laughing) Sorry, Kho,
we needed someone to act kind of clueless
and you fit the bill.
- Oh, glad I could help.
(straining)
- Okay, fine.
Yes, you're all very clever.
How did you know I wasn't Ming?
- You told me yourself
when we spoke of the good ol' days.
They never happened.
The real Ming was trained by her mother,
the last Rat Guardian.
Not by me.
- Well, goody for you,
but it won't help the real Ming.
- Wrong again, rat cheeks.
- Either your brother trades you for Ming
or it's back to the spirit world for the Shadow Rat.
- (nervous laugh) You really think you can make a deal
with the Emperor of Darkest Yin?
You really are fools!
- Wake up, Rat Guardian.
Tell me where you hid your shrine and your power band
or you will suffer more punishment.
- Your bad breath is punishment enough.
- How dare you speak to me in this manner?
I am the Zodiac Master.
- You are a poodle in a clown costume.
- [Emperor] Stay your hand.
- Emperor, I was just--
- Wasting your time.
No amount of threats will force the Rat Guardian to talk.
Otherwise, her shrine and power band
would be ours by now.
My sister would have doubled her powers.
And she would not be in her current predicament.
- What predicament?
- Yin Wi has been captured by Chin and his golden proteges.
- Really?
Oh no.
What will we do?
- I am, of course, concerned for her,
but if the dragons think that they can use her against me,
they are in for a most unpleasant surprise.
- [Ang] We'll save Ming.
Don't worry.
- Worries are stones along the path to enlightenment.
I avoid them, lest they cause me to stumble.
- Right.
Back at ya.
- More fortune cookie wisdom?
- Yeah, I really must be tired.
That one almost made sense.
- Hooray for you.
Now go strap yourself in
next to our special guest.
(sniffing)
- Back off, baboon!
- There's Ming!
- You are remarkably arrogant
to dare come before me without activating your power band.
- I knew we forgot something.
- We aren't here to fight, Emperor.
- Then why are you here?
- To make a deal.
You give us Ming.
We give you Yin Wi.
Simple, clean,
and everybody goes home happy.
- Hmm, interesting offer,
but I would make one small amendment.
In my version, no one goes home
and certainly not happy.
- Told you he wouldn't go for it.
- Power Golden Double Dragon! - Power Golden Double Dragon!
- And Power of the Tiger!
(yelling)
(straining)
- What do you think you're doing?
- Saying goodbye.
(groaning)
- Enough!
Why do you persist?
My warriors never grow tired,
whereas you can only fight for so long
before your strength and powers fail you.
Is that not true, Golden Dragon?
Besides, you already lost the battle.
I have what I want.
- Well, not exactly, no.
- Kho?
- Just doing my part to maintain
a little balance in the universe.
- You lied!
- No, Golden Dragons never lie.
I said we'd trade Ming for Yin Wi,
and I meant it.
- Only some of us didn't think you'd play fair.
- So I got to wear Yin Wi's rat band
and do a little shape shifting,
just to be sure.
- Since none of us even wanted
to touch your rat sister's shadow band.
- Where is my sister?
- Let's just say she's safe and under wraps
until you start playing fair.
- Believe me.
We really don't want her.
- We'll even return this as a bonus.
- You, most of all, should know
that I do not bargain with mortals.
- Come on!
We're talking about Yin Wi, your sister.
Think of all the trouble you went through
bringing her back from limbo and everything.
She must mean something to you.
- Let her go!
- But Emperor--
- Let them all go.
Right now!
- Back off, pottery pants.
- You can't simply let them walk out of here.
Yin Wi isn't worth--
- Silence!
(rats squeaking)
- Great.
More rodents.
- These rats are not bad.
Evil is a choice.
- Terrific.
Even the real rat guardian has it out for me.
- You may have to stay away from here for a while, Ming,
in case Yin Wi and the Emperor come after you again.
- That's all right.
We rats can adapt to anything.
Who knows?
I might even drop by your Golden Dragon Temple,
this time, for real.
- Can't wait.
