(suspenseful music)
- Empower the tiger!
(roaring)
(growling)
- [Ninja] Huh?
(screaming)
- Ang!
(esoteric music)
- [Narrator] Twins, both destined for greatness,
but only one can wear the golden power band of the dragon.
Only one can use its power
to battle the forces of darkest evil.
The other must decide which path she will take.
(tense music)
Only one, the chosen one, can be
the new Golden Dragon.
(suspenseful music)
(screaming)
- Hang on, Ang, I'm coming.
Woo hoo hoo, that was very close.
- (laughter) Tell me about it.
- But it was nothing compared to what's waiting up there.
- Huh?
(whooshing)
- I know what you're thinking, Master Chin,
but it's not what it looks like.
You see, I was teaching Ang this ancient attack strategy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it.
The Moon Monkey Move, isn't that right, Ang?
- Nice try, pal.
Master Chin, we snuck out to buy this.
It's the hottest new video game.
- We just happened to pick that up while,
while we were out working hard,
perfecting our guardian skills.
- Forget it, Xuan.
Look, I'm sorry Master Chin,
I just wanted to have a little fun for a change.
All I ever seem to do anymore is fight for my life,
which I just ended up having to do anyway.
- Maybe he hit his head.
Yeah, I think he needs rest.
- I think you ought to give it a rest, banana boy.
- [Xuan] Bananas?
Good idea.
- You left the temple unguarded tonight.
- Beingal was here.
- It is not her job.
You are the Golden Dragon.
- Okay, I blew it, sorry.
But sometimes, you expect too much.
When do I just get to be a kid?
(clattering)
How?
- The Way of the Golden Dragon requires great faith,
great doubt, and great effort.
- Don't you think I know all that?
- To know and not do is not yet to know.
- Well, I mean, I never asked for this job,
and I'm starting to think I don't have
what it takes to be the Golden Dragon.
- If you wish to drown,
do not torture yourself with shallow water.
You may leave or accept that the obstacle is often the path.
(whooshing)
(relaxing music)
- Ang, my man, that's an enemy spaceship, right?
- No, asteroid.
(electronic beeping)
- Okay, that's an asteroid.
- Nope, enemy ship.
- What was that then?
- An enemy ship disguised as an asteroid.
- Huh.
You scored 11,000 points?
- Whatever.
- [Xuan] Whoa, I gotta check this out.
(playful humming)
(clattering)
- Huh?
- Wanna work out with me, Ang?
- After you beat me up last night?
- You could even the score?
(dramatic music)
(grunting)
- Oh yeah!
(laughter) Yeah, I am monkey king of the galaxy.
- (laughter) Down goes the Dragon.
- Well all right!
A whole enemy fleet disguised as asteroids
disguised as a giant black hole!
50,000 points!
Beat that, buddy.
- Wow, jungle boy just beat you at a video game.
This just isn't your day, Ang.
- When is it ever my day?
(clattering)
- What's eating him?
- Whoa, did you say eating Beingal?
(whooshing)
(sorrowful music)
(bells chiming)
- Look, this wasn't my idea.
- Yeah?
Well, didn't see you offering to give it up.
- [Ang] You know it doesn't work like that.
- Well, maybe it works like this.
(laughter) The mighty Dragon knocked on his butt.
Maybe I should just take what's rightfully mine.
- Come on, Ling, don't do this.
- Afraid you'll lose, and I'll take my power band?
- Ang!
Master Chin wants us, now!
(whooshing)
(hollow chiming)
- We must leave immediately
for the Temple of the Rams.
(electric buzzing)
It is here, high in the Altai Mountains.
- Wait, the Altai Mountains?
As in, the ones we'd have to cross
the Gobi Desert to get to?
- It will be a journey of utmost importance,
and one of extreme difficulty.
- Gee, okay, I'd really like to join you,
but I was planning to hunt for my power band today.
Yeah, that's what I was gonna do.
Yeah!
Ah!
- Really?
Where?
- Mm, anywhere but the Gobi Desert.
- In that case, we shall not see you again
until your mission is complete,
however many months or years that might take.
- On second thought,
I've never actually visited a real desert.
How bad could it be?
(suspenseful music)
(bird cawing)
This is worse than a boat.
I think I may blow my bananas.
(retching)
- (laughter) We gave them good value.
- And tonight, we give them
the Xuandong Brothers' layaway plan.
(whooshing)
- (laughter) While they lay sleeping,
we take away everything they bought.
(laughter)
(tense music)
(whooshing)
- Huh?
What's happening?
- Look out!
- [Ang] Incoming!
(engine roaring)
(screaming)
(whooshing)
(tense music)
(screaming)
- There is traffic everywhere these days.
- Empower the tiger!
(tiger roaring)
- Empower the dragon!
- Empower the monkey!
(slamming)
Ah, how humiliating.
Oh, I lost it.
I gotta get that power band back some time.
Touch my bananas and watch me go ape!
You guys are nothing but thieves, and I'm not gonna
stand around while you-- (screaming)
Argh!
(tense music)
Those guys are getting away!
(growling)
- You missed the tires.
- [Beingal] No, wait!
(explosion)
(screaming)
(thudding)
- [Small Thief] Ah, let's get out of here!
- [Xuan] What a disaster!
We nearly had 'em, we nearly had 'em!
Ah, man!
Ah, they both got away!
- I was draining their gas tank!
Why did you fire?
- I was, I was helping.
- Your help just cost us
all of our equipment and supplies.
(whooshing)
(somber music)
- I can't believe those thieves were the same guys
who sold us all this stuff back at the train station.
- In the desert, you will find
not everything is what it appears.
- Oh well, looks like we'll have to go back.
Blurgh.
- Again, not so.
We will continue on foot.
- Huh?
Without food or supplies?
Are you coconuts?
- Ah, time is slipping away.
(tense music)
- Ah, this is too much.
I knew there was a reason I never visited the desert.
Nothing but sand.
Nothing to see for miles and miles and miles.
- Huh, what's that? (high-pitched buzzing)
- Then again, I could be wrong.
(whooshing)
- What are those rings?
- Huh?
- Maybe the Golden Dragon sees that which we cannot.
- (screaming) Stop!
- What's happening to him?
(screaming) (high-pitched buzzing)
Ang!
- Empower the--
(thudding)
Argh!
- Ang!
- Where'd he go?
Ang!
- Ang!
- [Beingal] Ang!
- [Xuan] Ang!
(whooshing)
- [Beingal] Ang!
- [Xuan] Ang!
- Ang!
What's happening?
(crackling and humming)
- The rings which only Ang could see
were the entrance to a flying temple.
- Rams with wings?
- It was not the Temple of the Rams,
but rather a test
every golden dragon must face.
(whooshing)
- What,
what just happened?
Where am I?
- [Master Chin] Ang has entered the Temple of Change,
with its 64 doors.
There is one door for each of the 64 hexagrams of wisdom.
Behind each door, is a great lesson,
but Ang must be very careful.
This knowledge must be earned,
or it may prove difficult to survive.
(tense music)
(explosions)
- What's happening?
- Are you okay?
- What was your test?
- There was no test.
Let's get to the Temple of the Rams
and finish this cursed trip,
because it will be my last.
- Ah, you didn't really mean that now,
ah, you're just hungry.
Hey, did you happen to notice
if there was any food in that temple?
Did you see any?
Some food, fruit offerings, bananas maybe?
- Did he mean it, Master Chin?
- Only he can know which path he will choose.
(suspenseful music)
(heaving)
- [Samurai] Ang Leung.
- Huh?
Who's there?
- [Samurai] You're weak and undeserving.
Perhaps I'll take the dragon band from you
and give it to your sister. (laughter)
- Show yourself!
- Bah, oh no!
He's really losing it!
- You cannot help him.
Ang is on a pathway from the light of yang
to the depths of his darkest yin.
(laughter)
- Who are you?
Haa!
- But he'll be okay when he gets back, won't he?
- No, he will be much more if he returns.
(laughter)
- Come out where I can see you!
(fizzing)
(growling)
Nice trick, but I'm not falling for it.
- It's no trick.
(banging)
Surrender the dragon power band.
It just fills you with more doubt.
- Doubt this.
Empower the dragon!
Who are you?
Argh!
Ya!
- (laughter) Let's just say
I am what you only wish you could be.
(groaning)
- Huh?
(rumbling)
(crashing)
Argh!
(explosions banging)
- (laughter) Not good enough, Ang.
You'll have to dig deeper if you want to survive.
You cannot even imagine what lies ahead of you.
- [Master Chin] Accept that the obstacle is often the path.
- The obstacle?
(gasping) My own doubts!
(tense music)
Argh!
Ah!
(groaning)
- (laughter) Not bad.
- [Ang] Try this!
Ah!
(thudding)
Huh?
You're, you're me.
- Yes, Ang.
The Golden Dragon you can one day be
now that you have overcome your doubts.
(whooshing)
- Ang!
- What was the test?
- I was, and I passed.
- (laughter) If you had not,
you would have been lost to the darkness forever.
- What about the Temple of the Rams?
- The crisis has past.
Sometimes in life, the journey
is more important than the goal.
(whooshing)
(exciting music)
