(anxious ensemble tones)
- Xuan Chi.
- [Chin] Xuan Chi.
- Why do I have to be a lookout?
A monkey couldn't see his own tail in this mist,
so how are we gonna spot some dinky little island?
- The Zodiac symbols alerted us.
Now we must have faith that the island
will reveal itself in the proper time.
- But no one knows for sure where
the Temple of the Horse is hidden.
- Not even you, Master Chin
and you're supposed to know everything.
- A vacant mind will fill itself with nonsense.
An open mind will perceive the truth.
- It's my stomach that's gonna be vacant any minute now.
- [Chin] You must not lose focus.
- Or my bananas.
(relaxed piano, flute music)
- Master Chin, if no one but the Horse Guardian knows--
- Her name is Mana-Ho. - Okay.
So if she's the only one who knows where the Temple is,
then how could the Zodiac Master have found it?
- Hey, hey guys, guys, land ho!
Or maybe I should say Mana-Ho ho.
You see what I did there?
(rumbling)
(eruptions booming)
- Patience is rewarded.
Fire is the element of the Horse.
Set your course, Ang.
- But that volcano is about to blow.
(anxious piano, trumpet tones)
(Eastern style guitar 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 ensemble music)
Only one
the Chosen One can be,
the new Golden Dragon.
(dramatic intermittent drumbeat)
(anxious trumpet, guitar music)
(grunting)
(rumbling)
- This place is rocking worse than the boat.
- The natural balance has been disturbed.
The question is how?
- Great, the jungle's so thick we can't
even get to the other side of the lake.
- That is not a problem unless
you believe the Horse Temple is there.
I don't know, I mean it could be anywhere.
- You are the Golden Dragon, perceive that which is hidden.
- And do it soon. - Okay.
I'll try.
(anxious violin music)
That can't be right. - Trust your instincts.
What do they tell you?
- That the Temple is out there.
Looks like we're in for a long swim.
- Ow, ow.
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot foot, hot foot.
Ow hoo hoo hoo, oh no swimming today
unless you want boiled Monkey.
- The volcano must have superheated the lake.
- This is not a problem for Masters such as yourselves.
It is only a matter of focus.
- What's he doing?
(anxious violin, trumpet music)
- As Guardians, you both have it within you
to do as I have just done.
Who would like to demonstrate their perfection of focus?
- All I can focus on are my throbbing toes.
- I'll give it a try.
- [Chin] This art requires intense
concentration young Dragon, focus.
- Okay, concentration.
Hey hey, hey look at me, I'm--
Ow, ooh ooh ow, ow.
(laughing)
Laugh it up, banana breath.
Meanwhile I'm gonna find another way around.
All it takes it focus, yeah right,
and about 300 years of practice.
- I heard that.
(rumbling)
- Whoa.
No!
- Ang, are you all right?
Ang!
- What, where am I?
- You're safe now.
You have found me.
- You're Mana-Ho, the Horse Guardian?
- And you are the new Golden Dragon.
- Right, I'm Ang, I came with Master Chin
and Xuan Chi, the Monkey Guardian who are...
Well anyway, the Horse Zodiac symbol
alerted us that something was wrong here.
But you're obviously okay.
Where are we?
(relaxed trumpet music) (dramatic chanting)
- Behold the Temple of the Horse.
- So the Temple entrance is under the lake.
No wonder no one can find the way in.
(rumbling) (anxious violin music)
- Or out.
- Mr. Chin, the earth just swallowed him up, Ang's gone.
- The Golden Dragon lives,
we must find a way to reach him before--
- That.
Master
Chin!
Ah!
Be okay, be okay.
Speak to me Master Chin, please.
Please, please, please.
- Only if you will stop acting like a wild Monkey man.
- Ha ha, oh you're alive, woo hoo.
- So it would seem.
However I am also pinned.
- [Xuan] Don't worry, I'll get you free.
(grunting)
- I fear I will be of little use
to you or the Golden Dragon.
(faint horses neighing)
(anxious trumpet tones)
- So, you think the volcanic activity
triggered the alarm in the Dragon Temple?
- I believe it was simply meant
that we be together here and now.
- Ah hah, well usually there has to be some kind of threat.
You know, trouble.
- Everything is just as it should be between us.
You are very handsome, Golden One.
- I should be getting back to Master Chin and Xuan,
you know, let them know I'm okay.
- You must set aside the old path
and follow me to your true destiny.
- What?
Yes.
The true destiny.
- The path at my side. - At your side.
- Forget all else. - Forget all else.
(horses neighing)
(rumbling)
- Another eruption, take cover.
- An excellent idea, however one I am unable to fulfill.
- Oops, right, I'll have to carry you.
Piggyback.
Okay.
Here we
go.
Piggy's right, have you put on weight?
- [Chin] Have you forgotten I was once the Pig Guardian?
- Master Chin, I don't suppose
you could walk the last few steps?
- I am perfectly comfortable, thank you.
(rustling)
- Did you hear that?
Someone's out there.
(grunts)
Sorry.
- Xuan Chi!
- What? Don't worry.
I'll protect you, Master Chin.
(dramatic trumpet tones)
- You will stay with me forever.
- Yes, forever.
- Together we will have the power
to withstand any evil that may come.
- Any evil.
- Now, give me the Power Band of the Golden Dragon.
(anxious trumpet music)
- No.
- Give
me
the band. - Stop.
- Ha ha ha ha ha.
- I'm the Golden Dragon, I can't.
What's going on, what are you trying to do to me?
- Give it to me or suffer the consequences.
(rumbling)
- I don't know what's wrong with you.
Maybe the Zodiac Master did something to you
but I don't want to fight you, we're both Guardians.
- Believe me, you do not want to oppose my will.
(screeching)
- I don't know what your game is but
Empower of the Dragon!
- Huh?
- What in?
Okay.
You are so not the Horse Guardian.
But then who or what are you?
- Ho Syen Koo, the Eternal Maiden who is
about to claim the power of the Golden Dragon.
(anxious violin music)
(grunting)
(neighing)
(gasp)
Why'd you do that?
I had her.
- Forgive my impetuous young friend.
I am honored to see you, Mana-Ho.
- You mean she's the Horse Guardian?
Whoa.
- Whoa, you'd dare to insult me?
- What, oh that whoa?
Oh, you thought I meant like whoa, like whoa oh-oh.
But no I didn't mean that, I meant like whoa.
- Mana-Ho, the Golden Dragon is in grave danger.
You must take us to your Temple at once.
- I can't, it's locked.
- Don't tell me you lost the key.
- In a way, I lost my Power Band which is the only
way to unlock the secret passage into the Temple.
- So the Zodiac Master did beat us here.
- No, Ho Syen Koo.
- Koo who? - Ho Syen Koo,
a spirit being also known as the Immortal Maiden.
It is her task to test men of valor
and try to tempt them from their chosen path.
(rumbling)
- She used her magic to steal my band
but it shifted the natural balance.
Unless she's stopped,
this entire island will sink into the sea.
- Blah blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda.
What did she say?
- I give you
one last chance to live.
Give me the Power Band. - Keep dreaming, witch.
That was easy, too easy.
(cackling laughter)
(anxious trumpet tones)
(electric crackling)
- Come on you stupid volcano, open it up again.
- What do you sense, Master Chin?
(horse neighing) (cackling laughter)
- Light does battle with shadow.
- So you're not only ugly, you cheat too.
Come on, show yourself.
(cackling laughter)
(grunting, thudding)
(anxious violin, trumpet music)
Oh no you don't.
There's gotta be a way.
(scream)
(crackling)
Let's finish this.
(grunting)
Think, what would Master Chin say?
- Focus young Dragon Master, perceive the unseen.
- I claim what I have won.
(electric crackling)
- All is still not as it appears.
(rumbling)
- Hey, the rumbling stopped just like that.
- The water is cooling again.
- Yes, the balance has been restored.
(anxious ensemble music)
- I salute you, Golden Dragon. - I don't get it.
You look happy that I beat you.
- Yes, you have proven that you are a man of valor.
You have remained true to your path.
- That's what this was all about?
You endangered the entire island
and the Temple to play some game?
- It is my reason for being, without it I am nothing.
(dramatic violin tones)
- Okay, so everything's in balance again.
Where's Ang?
- There, he is walking towards us now.
- Ang!
Oh yeah.
- You must be the real Mana-Ho.
Your Power Band showed me the way out of the temple.
You'll have it back in just a, ah!
(splashing)
(relaxed Eastern style guitar music)
(laughs)
(neighing laughter)
- You actually laugh like that?
(laughing)
(dramatic ensemble music)
