(peaceful music)
- Go away, Xuan.
- [Xuan] Ah, come on.
Aren't you finished yet?
- No, and I won't be until sunrise.
Remember, the period of reflection?
It's an all-nighter.
- Yeah, it's an all-boring.
- (sighing) It's meant for every guardian, Xuan,
and that means you too.
While our power bands are regenerating,
we're supposed to be clearing our minds of obstacles,
so go clear your mind.
- It's done.
Wasn't much there to work with.
- No kidding.
- So what about you?
Still sweeping out the old thoughts?
Tell me about it.
- Go away.
- Ah, come on!
You know it's better to share.
Ah, I'm leaving.
(whooshing)
(groaning)
- (sighing) Xuan!
(tense music)
(horse whinnying)
Who are you?
Get away from there!
(chiming)
- [Mysterious Figure] Empower the dragon!
- [Master Chin] Twins, both destined for greatness,
but only one can wear the golden power band of the dragons.
Only one can 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.
(tense music)
(whooshing)
(chiming)
- Take off that power band now!
(gasping)
Huh?
(yelling)
- Nice.
(chiming)
(yelling)
(chiming)
(yelling)
(chiming)
- Hi, I won't let you take my power band.
- I am not here to take,
I am here to offer.
- Hi-ya!
- Watch, listen,
learn!
(tense music) (whooshing)
Watch, listen, learn.
- [Ang] Hah!
(heavy breathing)
(suspenseful music)
- [Xuan] Psst, you awake?
- [Master Chin] Go away, Xuan Chi.
- This period of reflection is really
sucking the fun out of everything.
- What troubles you, my young dragon?
- Well, uh, sorry for bothering you, but--
- Ang, tell me, what did you see?
- Well, someone walked right into my temple
and stole my power band.
He even empowered the dragon with it.
- Perhaps one of the previous golden dragons
was contacting you.
- Yeah, he made contact all right, he kicked my butt.
I just wanna know why.
- [Master Chin] If you do not hear clearly
what is being said, then try focusing your mind and body.
- You mean like, meditation and movement.
- Yes.
A white crane kata.
Do you remember it?
- I do.
Ling and I used to do them when we--
- During your kata, heed the words
a wise master once spoke to me.
Watch, listen, learn.
- Hey, that's what he said to me,
in the vision.
- Then see what he desires you to see.
Old friend, what is it you wish him to know?
(whooshing)
- Nice control, Ling,
and Ang, let us make your focus as sharp as your technique.
No, no, you have lost harmony.
(stone door rolling)
(clamoring)
(chiming)
(electric fizzing)
(whooshing)
(yelling)
(banging)
(groaning)
- Father!
- The last dragon was...
- [Together] Our father?
(whooshing)
(hissing)
- So, my pet is hungry?
(suspenseful music)
(hissing)
- Back off.
Is it true?
- Is what true?
What has gotten into you?
- The last golden dragon, was he my father?
- Yes.
However, I was unaware of it until only recently.
How did you learn of this?
- You knew he was the golden dragon
and you didn't tell me.
- More to the point, while you were growing up
believing you had no father,
he was very much alive,
and he did not care enough to be with you.
Your anger should be directed at him
and at Master Chin.
- Master Chin knew.
It was all a lie.
- This is just one more reason
to move forward with our plan tonight.
With the guardians all observing the period of reflection,
this is an opportunity we must take advantage of,
and you cannot hesitate,
especially when you see your brother
and Master Chin defeated.
- Don't worry, I'm looking forward to it.
(peaceful music)
- Master Chin, why didn't you,
huh?
Wake up!
Master Chin, wake up!
(sniffing)
(music turning sinister)
(whooshing)
- The only obstacle in my mind
is that I don't have a temple to reflect in.
Is that my fault?
Okay, so maybe it is, maybe.
I'll reflect on that.
Let's see, um...
(whooshing) (rattling)
Ah, oh.
Oo, ah, hey!
It's kinda working!
(snoring)
(tense music)
(whooshing)
- Oh no.
The tiger, the rabbit, the snake.
Stone.
(whooshing)
(banging)
(groaning)
(laughter)
(yelling)
- Empower the darkest yin!
(yelling)
(gasping)
- [Ling] Let me go!
- The voice of the child concerns you,
why?
- Because a young student should not witness
what I am about to do to you.
(banging)
(whooshing)
(chiming)
- The warriors have fled upon defeat.
- As long as Ang and Ling know I am their father,
the Zodiac Master may learn of it.
I would be risking their lives
if I did not erase their memory of me.
- I will prepare the ceremony.
(whooshing)
- [Ang] Master Chin, what's going on?
- Is this some kinda new game?
Or some new lesson?
- Neither, my child.
Your father, the golden dragon,
wants to share something very special with you.
- Ah, what is it?
Where is Father?
- Here I am.
That's right, huddle close now.
I'm going to let you both feel the power
of all the past golden dragons.
Are you ready?
- Oh yes!
- Ready, Father.
(whooshing)
- It feels wonderful.
But I'm getting sleepy. (yawning)
- Me too.
- Ang and Ling,
as the golden dragon, I...
(somber music)
- Ang and Ling, listen very carefully.
You have no memories of your father.
You do not miss him,
because you never knew him.
You have been raised by me, and only me,
in the Dragon Dojo that has been your home.
(sad music)
- [Ang] Empower the dragon!
(exciting music)
(yelling)
(whooshing)
(tense music)
- The last golden dragon was our father.
- I know.
He spoke to me in a vision.
- He abandoned us.
Master Chin lied to us.
We have been betrayed, Ang,
you can't stay with him now that you know.
- Ling, it's not that simple.
There was a reason Master Chin and our father
did what they did.
- What reason could a father have
for discarding his children?
He left me, he left us!
(yelling)
(whooshing)
(groaning)
- Huh?
(yelling)
He made a sacrifice,
to protect us.
- From what?
- Think about it.
If it became known that the golden dragon had children,
then his enemies would try to get to him through us.
(yelling)
Our lives would always be in danger.
Our father made a huge sacrifice for us, Ling,
because he knew he had to,
but it tore him apart.
(whooshing)
(yelling)
And I know just what he went through.
- Ling,
take him down,
now!
(chiming)
Power the darkest yin!
Snake,
tiger,
rabbit.
(yelling)
I'm here to claim the dragon power as my own.
- Claim this.
(yelling)
- Ang,
and Ling,
as the golden dragon, I have had to sacrifice so very much,
but nothing compares to this.
To saying goodbye to you, my children.
I hope that some day, somehow,
you will remember me,
and know that my heart was broken beyond repair.
- Ling!
- Get up, Ang, fight him!
- Finish him.
(gasping)
- Empower the shadow dragon!
(whooshing)
(tense music)
For Dad?
- For Dad.
(whooshing)
(groaning)
(yelling)
(whooshing)
(chiming)
(whooshing)
Does this mean you're coming back?
- I don't know what I want.
- What-- - Don't push me, Ang.
- Take heart, young dragon.
Ling's actions show that there is still
the spark of goodness within her.
There is still hope.
- Hey guys!
You were right, a good dose of meditation
can really clear the mind.
Oh,
oh,
but it sure didn't work for you two.
You look wrecked.
- [Together] Go away, Xuan Chi.
- Oo, didn't help their moods much, either.
(whooshing)
(exciting music)
