(dramatic music)
- You were just down here two days ago.
Are you sure it's a good idea to return so soon?
I mean, isn't it dangerous
to keep regenerating your powers like this?
- Don't tell me you're worried about me.
(dramatic music)
- You and me both.
- Come here.
- Are you sure you're taking energy from that thing?
- Thing?
You dare speak of the Emperor of the Darkest Yin this way?
Where do you think the powers
of the Shadow Dragon come from?
- (stammering) I hadn't really thought about it.
- You wear the band of the Emperor of the Darkest Yin,
and now, you will feel his power!
- No! Stop it!
It's pulling me!
- Don't fight it.
Feel the power surging through you.
- He tried to pull me into his tomb.
(light 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.
(upbeat music)
Only one, the chosen one,
can be the new Golden Dragon.
(suspense music)
- Is something wrong, Master Chin?
- The power of the darkest Yin grows stronger.
The greatest thirst of the Golden Dragon begins.
- [Xuan] Have you totally flipped?
You can't leave the dojo now!
- I have to.
- But Master Chin will go ape when he finds out.
- Swear you won't tell anyone where I've gone.
- No way! Forget it!
I stink at lying.
My face always gives me away.
- Look, if you're really my friend, you'll swear.
- (sighs) You know I'm your friend.
- Then swear.
- Okay, I swear.
Wait! Maybe, with my guardian mask on,
no one will know when I'm lying.
(sighs) Just me.
(suspense music)
- Where is Ang?
- Ang? Ang who?
- Quit clowning.
Although with that mask on...
Anyway, Ang should should've been down here by now.
Have you seen him?
- Huh, me? No, never.
Well, never.
Ahh!
- What is with you?
- It no longer matters.
It is already too late.
They have entered the Dragon Temple.
- Ang, what have you done?
(dramatic music)
- I hope this wasn't a really bad idea.
Oh, yeah. Seriously bad.
(suspense music)
- It is as I've feared.
- Actually, it's way worse.
- You have made a long journey in vain.
There can be no ceremony.
The Golden Dragon is not here.
- Ugh.
- But how did you know?
- Rar!
You summon all the temple guardians here
to honor the new dragon,
and the young pup doesn't even bother to show?
- He looks mad enough to bite someone's head off.
- And he could do it, too.
That's Chow, guardian of the Dog Temple.
- I offer my most humble apology,
and assure you the Golden Dragon
would rather celebrate with you
than face the evil I fear may await him.
- Forgive me, Master Chin.
Is there anything I can do to help?
- Thank you, Chow.
But that shall depend on Xuan Chi
once he tells us where the Golden Dragon has gone.
- I really like to, but I can't.
I gave my word to Ang.
- In that case, Chow,
how are you at making monkeys speak the truth?
- Whoa, what?
- I hear in some cultures,
monkey brains are a delicacy (laughs).
- Bad dog! Bad, bad mad dog!
- Masten Chin, since Xuan is honor-bound
not to break his promise,
there may be an easy way to find out where Ang went.
- Oh, thank you.
- Whoa!
Hi?
(Chow growls)
- I feel bad invading his privacy.
- It's Ang's own fault for swearing me to secrecy.
But I can't tell you his password.
- Let me guess. Golden Dragon?
Yes, I'm in!
There's an email from Ling.
"Ang, I'm begging you.
"Meet me tonight in the square by the old tea shop.
"I know I've lied to you in the past,
"but I swear this time it's the truth.
"I need your help.
"I've got to get away from the Zodiac Master
"before it's too late."
- Great. After all this,
she doesn't even bother to show.
- Ang.
- Eh?
- Come with me.
- Wait! Ling, if this is a setup,
I swear I'll never...
Trust you again.
Hey guys, save your energy.
I'm gonna kick myself anyway,
forever trusting my lying, cheating sister!
I've gotta warn you.
I'm in a really bad mood.
Okay, you asked for it.
Empower the dragon!
(dramatic music)
- If we can't reach the square in time,
then how would we find Ang?
- I will be honored to sniff him out for you.
- I'm going with you.
- Me, too! Me, too!
- (growls) Thanks, but I'm more of a lone wolf.
- (chuckles) Right.
Okay, nice doggie.
- Ha!
(suspense music)
- What are you waiting for, Ling?
Don't you want a piece of me, too?
- I was wondering the same thing.
Show yourself, Shadow Dragon.
This is your chance to demonstrate your new powers for,
or should I say, on your brother?
Do it!
(Ling yells a spell)
- Now, you understand the Emperor's gift.
- Ling?
- Yes!
- Ahh!
- Finish him while you still have the extra power!
- My power.
No, I can't lose it now.
- Take him.
(Ang grunts)
- Ah, my ankle!
- We have him now.
(suspense music)
He's injured. He can't have gotten far.
(suspense music)
(heavy breathing)
There!
- I'm sorry, Ang.
I swear, I didn't plan this.
- Give it up, Ling.
How stupid do you think I am?
- At last, the Dra...
What?
He's not wearing the Dragon Band.
- No kidding.
I guess it must have got fried in the fire.
(screams)
- Not stupid at all.
(dramatic music)
- Grr!
- Down, boy. It's just me.
Thought you might need the help
of another experienced guardian.
- Great, kid. Who'd you bring?
- Very funny.
So, you sniffed Ang's trail all the way here?
- Actually, Master Chin gave me the address.
Look, I don't have anything against you personally, yet.
But I really do prefer to work alone.
So (growls)...
- You wouldn't even know I'm here.
I'll be as quiet as a spider monkey.
(growls)
- My men searched the square and found nothing.
- Hey, what are you doing?
Let me go!
- You cannot serve two masters.
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- People should really learn to be more careful
when they're writing emails.
You never know who might be reading them.
(Ang screams)
- Wait, you don't understand.
(Chow sniffing)
- What is it? A clue?
(Chow growls)
Aw! I just wanna try and help find my bestfriend.
But I know without my power band,
nobody wants me around anymore.
Oh, where is your canine compassion?
All the zodiac books say monkey and dog should be pals.
- I missed that page.
- Can I stay? Please?
- It'd be easier to shake off a flea.
- Woo-hoo! True!
So, okay then. What are we waiting for?
Crank up that nose and sniff out Ang's trail.
- The scent of the Golden Dragon is still strong right here.
- The Dragon power band!
- Hey, what are you doing?
- Ah, don't worry.
Ang won't mind if I just wear it until we find him.
(laughs) Holy bananas!
I have a power band again!
(ethnic music)
- Alright. Just try not to blow yourself up.
- [Ling] I can't believe you hacked into my computer.
- [Zodiac Master] And I cannot believe
you would dare betray me.
- [Ling] I didn't, I swear.
- Your word means less than nothing.
You have one chance left to prove your loyalty.
Make your brother surrender the band, or else...
- Or else what?
- Believe me, you do not want to find out.
(door squeaks)
- I guess you heard.
- Yeah, nice show.
Almost as convincing as your email.
Cut the act, Ling.
I'm not falling for it again.
- It wasn't an act.
You have to believe me.
I'm really in trouble.
- The scent ends here.
They must have taken a boat.
I can't track him over water.
- So now what do we do?
- The Golden Dragon left his band in the square.
So he'll return for it, if he can.
- That's it.
I'll empower his band.
Maybe it can help us find him.
- No, wait, it's too dange...
- Empower the dragon!
Look at me! I'm Dragon Monkey.
King of the world!
(laughs)
Whoa, fire! Whoa!
How, how, how do you stop this thing?
- This is why I work alone.
- Ahh!
- Well?
- My brother doesn't believe me, either.
- Then your fate is sealed.
Remove the blindfold!
I want him to say goodbye to his sister.
- You're bluffing!
You need her.
- I need that band more.
- Wait, no!
(grunts)
- What are you doing to her?
- Oh, this is just the beginning.
Tell me where the band is or watch me destroy her.
- Stop!
Okay. Okay, you win.
Just leave her alone.
- Where is it?
- I'll take you to where I hid it.
- If you try to deceive me...
- Don't worry, you're gonna get it, I hope.
- Out of my way!
(screams)
I warned you.
Do not try my patience.
Where is it?
- Lost something?
Looks a lot like this?
Empower the dog!
- Back off or I'll destroy her.
- Go for it! This I'd like to see.
- I told you they wouldn't buy it.
- Then we'll take it.
- Empower the Shadow Dragon!
(suspense music)
- Xuan Chi, my band!
- Yeah, isn't it cool?
Wait till you see what I could do with it.
(Ling yells)
- Stand still, you wacko.
- (laughs) How's this?
- Stop monkeying around and give me my band.
- You can have it.
Dragon and Monkey don't mix so good.
- Thanks.
Empower the dragon!
(dramatic music)
- Ah!
- As victor, I claim...
- Now's our chance to finish them.
- Do not be so sure.
Are you prepared to face all the Temple Guardians?
(tribal music)
- I think...
- Looks like your precious zodiac master deserted you.
- Just like my precious brother.
For the record, the email is real.
I was being trapped,
and I thought I needed your help to break free.
- You... You serious?
- I was. But don't worry, I'm over it!
- Oh, Ling. Don't.
(dramatic music)
I'm sorry, Master Chin.
I know I let everyone...
Wait, where are all the guardians?
- They have begun the journey back to their own temples.
- I know i should give up on her but I keep hoping.
Master Chin, do you think Ling was telling the truth?
Okay, okay. I get it. I get it.
It will never happen again.
- Sure, he's right.
We believe him.
- Oh, come on guys.
I mean it this time.
Guys? Guys?
Ah, what the heck. I don't believe me either.
(upbeat music)
