(fireworks exploding)
- Ladies and gentlemen,
Chinese New Year always comes in with a big bang
here in Hong Kong Harbor.
And this year is no exception.
(fireworks exploding)
- Beautiful!
(fireworks exploding)
- [Xuan Chi] Oh, a big one!
(fireworks exploding)
(foreign music)
(fireworks exploding)
- Alright, that was the best one yet!
- I can't believe you're watching
the fireworks over the internet.
- Hey, I've got digital color, wrap-around sound,
two dozen point and click net cams.
If I wanted to get any closer to the action,
you'd have to shoot me outta that cannon.
(gasps)
- Ang, zoom in.
- Hey, sorry this is my whoa!
(dramatic music)
Whoa.
- I could swear I saw Zodiac warriors on that barge.
- So, it appears the Zodiac Master has planned
his own New Year's celebration.
- Then let's give him some dragon fireworks to remember.
Empower the dragon!
(roaring flames) (dramatic music)
- Empower the tiger!
(growls)
- [Ang] Last one down is a monkey's uncle!
(fireworks exploding)
(dramatic music)
- Here they come.
- Right on schedule.
- Have fun, I know I will.
(splash)
(computerized beeping)
- Happy New Year guardians.
- Incoming!
(gasping) (explosion)
(theme music)
- [Chin] Twins.
Both destined for greatness.
But only one can wear the golden power band of the dragon.
Only one may use its power to battle
the forces of darkest evil.
The other must decide which path she will take.
(dramatic music)
Only one, the chosen one can be the new Golden Dragon.
(deep rhythmic drumming)
(fireworks exploding)
- Incoming!
(groaning) (rock av'alanche)
(groans)
Flying dragon!
- Crouching tiger!
- Dancing monkey!
Oh, this is fast, I'm running fast.
It's pretty fast, fast, fast, fast.
Whoa, now I'm flying.
(grunting)
- You were the last one down Xuan Chi.
- That makes you the monkey's uncle.
- Ha, not until my brother has kids.
(grunts) (thudding)
- Hiyah!
Didn't your mother ever tell you not to lift heavy things?
(grunts)
- That's right.
Use all your powers, Golden Dragon.
Tonight when you recharge your power band,
it will become mine.
(fireworks exploding)
- That'll teach ya to monkey with me.
(gasps)
- Ang!
- Bon Voyage.
(explosion) (yelling)
(boat motor roars)
- Now that's what I call a New Year's celebration.
(dramatic music) (fireworks exploding)
(slow contemplative music)
- I can't remember the last time I ate so much.
- Last New Year's Eve?
- Or was it last night?
- Either way, there's always room for a jungle dessert.
- [Ang] What is that?
- Ah, bananas a la Xuan Chi.
Hoo yeah.
(sniffing)
- It smells like bananas a la yuck!
- Ah.
(laughter)
You know, I must remember to cook it
with a little less chili powder next time.
- You could just rename it Kung Pow Bananas!
(laughs)
- Master Chin, are you okay?
- Does no one else ponder the Zodiac Master's motives?
- Hmm, he did try to blow us all to smithereens.
- Beingal's right.
Whatever he came to do, he ran into us, and ran outta luck.
- Yes, but with every new year, comes new luck.
- Maybe I'll recharge my power band.
In case he decides to pay us a return visit.
- The power of a thousand past guardians
reside in the temple.
- And the power of five past bowls of Moo shu pork
reside in my stomach.
(belches loudly)
- Oh, do I even have to tell you how gross that is?
(laughs)
- And yet, at the same time, so very zen.
(belches loudly)
(mysterious music)
- Golden Dragons of years gone,
I your humble servant...
Xuan?
Beingal?
I ask that you regenerate the power band
of The Golden Dragon.
- That band must be around here somewhere.
You came here to recharge it.
- So?
- So, mine is fully charged.
It's a brand new year Ang.
So things are going to be very different.
But I haven't forgotten that I lost
the honor of becoming The Golden Dragon because of you.
- Because something was missing in you, Ling.
Master Chin says we shape the clay into a pot.
But the emptiness inside holds whatever we want.
- When are you going to get it?
I don't give a flying dragon what Master Chin says!
This is a new year, Ang.
And it's official, this is the year of the Shadow Dragon.
Empower the Shadow Dragon!
- Empower the dragon!
(exciting music)
- Is it an earthquake?
- The temple is under attack.
- Not so fast.
I feel (belches).
- Give up, I'm stronger than you.
- Ling, this old temple won't withstand another--
- Look out!
- Ling!
(exciting music)
(yelling)
- Is everyone okay?
- I never shouldn't have eaten all that moo shoo.
- Forget the moo shoo.
Help me dig us out of here.
- [Chin] No.
- I have to get out of here.
Monkey can't do closed in spaces.
Monkey needs open jungle.
(belches)
And a bathroom.
(coughing)
- Oh man.
What?
What happened?
- It was a cave in.
We're trapped.
- Who are you?
- What?
Ang, it's me.
- Back off.
I don't know you.
- Ang, stop!
Ang, we're trapped in the temple of the dragons.
You got hit in the head and--
Ang, I'm your twin sister.
Look (coughing) see for yourself.
- Huh?
(laughing)
You're my sister, Ling.
But, I can't remember anything else.
- It's okay.
I'm here.
I'll help you remember.
But first Ang, give me that band on your arm.
It belongs to me.
We were fooling around, we traded bands, you have mine,
I have yours.
Now give it to me and I can get us both out of here.
I'm your twin, Ang.
There's no one on earth closer to you.
Trust me.
- Something is wrong.
- No kidding.
We're trapped in this tiny prison.
- What is it Master Chin?
- The balance between Yin and Yang is about to shift.
- Well, we can't help Ang if we don't do something.
- You must learn to do without doing Xuan Chi.
Be still.
Nature allows all things to happen in their own way.
In their own time.
- [Xuan Chi] Easy for you to say.
- So you see, we work with the Zodiac Master.
- Why can't I remember any of this?
(groaning)
Ling, wait.
Where are you going?
- As far away from you as I can get.
But mark my words, I will posses the power of the dragon.
Empower the Shadow Dragon!
We need not be enemies brother.
Come with me Ang.
Join the Zodiac Master.
Together, we have the power to rule the world.
(groaning)
(yelling)
What is it Ang?
- I don't know.
Nothing makes sense.
I have to sort this out for myself.
- It's okay, don't worry.
We'll go to the Zodiac Master.
We'll be together again.
- What do you mean again?
(stammering)
- Nothing.
I don't know what I'm saying anymore.
I just can't stand being trapped in here.
I have to do something.
I need to get out of here.
- No, Ling, wait.
- Well, well, what have the young dragons done?
- What's happening?
- It's the Zodiac Master.
We're saved.
- Sounds like another cave in.
- That does it.
We've gotta get out of here.
- Patience young monkey.
All this time we have done nothing.
And yet nothing is not done.
Trusting in the true nature of life
is always the best choice.
- And finding the closes bathroom is the next best thing.
Hey, hoo hoo.
- My brother lost his memory.
I've reminded him he's with us.
- The power of a thousand past guardians reside
in the temple.
(laughing)
- Kung Pow bananas.
(evil laughter)
- Twin Dragons together once more.
Well, I have a feeling
this is going to be a very good year indeed.
- Ang, what are you doing?
- Empower the Shadow Dragon!
- Empower the Tiger!
- What are you waiting for?
Empower the Dragon, destroy them.
- [Xuan Chi] What?
- Empower, empower the...
Empower, uh.
Oh, right.
Empower the Dragon!
(yelling)
- You're finally mine.
- Back off.
These bananas are locked and loaded.
- Golden Dragon, finish them.
I command you.
- Let's take her down together Ang.
- Great idea sister dear.
But it's not Beingal that's going down.
It's you.
- But I thought...
- You thought wrong.
(yelling)
(explosions)
- Tonight you had your final chance
to choose ultimate power.
You chose wrong, boy.
- Ang, are you okay?
- I think so.
I lost my memory for awhile.
But I got it back.
- Okay, so, I'm totally confused.
(belches)
But no time for explanations now.
When you gotta go, you gotta go.
- I have to admit for a minute there I was pretty worried.
I couldn't tell who's side you were on.
- Me neither.
I think this helped me remember things clearly again.
- Well, I'm sure glad you're still on our side.
- Memories of better times often cast their own
shadows on the truth.
- Yes.
But when I finally remembered who Ling really was
I realized I lost her a long time ago.
- Very wise.
Apparently this test has brought you new wisdom.
- How can losing my memory give me wisdom?
- To gain knowledge you add something every day.
To gain wisdom you must remove something every day.
