- Patience, my precious.
It will not be long now.
One only needs to look into your eyes,
and they can see that dogs are superior beings,
so much more considerate and caring than people,
which is why I'm about to change the face of humankind.
All it will take is a hair of the dog
and my new genetic enhancer.
(bubbling)
(suspenseful music)
(electricity crackling)
Oh, yes!
I feel it working!
Soon I will join you, be one with you!
(man howling)
(wolves howling)
(pug whimpering)
- Yeah, yeah, I hear them.
How could I miss it?
But the message can't be right.
It's impossible, isn't it?
(pug whimpering)
Eh, oh all right, we'll check it out.
Empower the dog!
(intense music)
(howling)
(wolf howling)
(adventurous music)
- [Voiceover] Twins, both destined for greatness.
But only one can wear the golden power band of the dragons.
Only one may use its power
to battle the forces of darkest evil.
The other must decide which path she will take.
(dynamic music)
Only one, the chosen one, can be ...
the new Golden Dragon.
(dramatic music)
(dogs barking)
- (yawning) Man, it's not even 6:00 a.m.
It sounds like every dog in the city's freaking out.
- More like in the entire country.
- I wonder what set them off.
- Say what?
(dogs barking)
- I'm digging as fast as I can, guys.
(anxious music)
You all stay here!
I mean it!
(yipping)
(growling)
It's always best to let sleeping dogs lie,
but when they want to fight, always get in the first lick.
(shouting)
(growling)
What are you?
(yipping)
(whimpering)
(snarling)
(whimpering)
(anxious music)
(moaning)
Get help.
Dragon dojo.
Hong ...
Kong.
(moaning)
- Nice move, brother.
You've learned a lot since becoming the Golden Dragon.
(shouting)
- A Golden Dragon must master all his senses.
He must not only see but hear and smell his opponent.
- (chuckling) Well, this opponent stinks!
(chuckling)
(shouts)
- Now who stinks?
- I know we just had a hard workout, Xuan Chi,
but I'm not kidding.
You really stink.
(sniffing)
- Not me.
Where is that smell coming from?
(sniffing)
(growling)
- Look!
Look out!
Be careful!
It looks really mean!
Go on!
Scram!
Shoo, get out of here!
Go away!
Move along, nothing to see!
Walk away, back off!
Go!
- Stop it!
- We should've known that stink was a trap!
(shouting)
- Empower the dragon!
(intense music)
- I'm not here to fight, Ang.
- Then why are you here, sis?
- Can't a sister just wonder
how her brother's doing once in a while?
- Don't trust her, Ang!
Her stinky little flea bag could've just eaten us alive!
- Back off, banana boy!
- Hey!
- I don't use animals.
Ever!
And this poor little fella is obviously lost.
He needs water right away.
You wouldn't turn your back on someone
who needed a friend, would you?
- No. - Good.
(tense music)
- All cleanie-weenie, and we make sure to rinse away
all the soapie-woapie so you won't itch.
(panting)
Okay, you're welcome, but let's make sure
you're good and dry before you go cruising around.
- I don't trust her just popping up
and putting on this warm and fuzzy show!
- No show.
Ling's always been passionate about animals.
I mean all animals.
It's like she's got this special connection.
- Anyone who cares for a helpless creature like that
cannot be all bad.
- Where's the fire?
(yipping)
Are you guys just gonna stand there,
or are you gonna help me catch this little cruiser?
(anxious music)
(yipping)
- How'd he figure out how to get in here?
(howling)
- Cruiser?
What is it, Cruiser?
- Chow, the Dog Guardian,
he must be in some kind of trouble.
- Hey, don't look at me!
But I'll bet this little guy knows.
- Come on!
It's a silly mutt!
- Haven't you ever heard stories
about a pet saving their owner
when no one else knew they were in trouble?
- Yeah, I've also heard stories
about a little old woman who lives in a shoe.
But I don't believe that.
(yipping)
- He wants us to follow him.
- Ling, we have bigger problems.
One of the Guardians is in trouble.
- Hello!
That's what Cruiser's been trying to tell you.
(yipping)
You know I'm right.
- Come on!
She's flipped!
Hasn't she?
- A Guardian must remember
that many paths lead to the same destination.
- You really think we should ...
follow a dog?
- Yes.
But not before preparing yourselves to face grave danger.
- You want us to power up.
Even Ling?
- Oh, it must be something really bad
if you're encouraging her to--
- Empower the Shadow Dragon!
(intense music)
- Empower the Dragon!
- I only hope the powers of both dragons will be enough.
(moaning)
- He wants us to go that way.
- I can't believe we're following this flea bag
on some wild goose chase.
(whimpering)
(yipping)
- Chow!
- Guess this proves mutts are smarting than monkey boys.
Lucky Cruiser found him.
He wouldn't have lasted much longer out here.
- Is he okay?
(groaning)
- Good dog.
- Look!
His power band is missing!
(yipping)
- Where is it, Cruiser?
(yipping)
Show me, boy!
- Ang!
We can't let her find it!
She'll take it right to the Zodiac Master.
- Ling!
- Xuan Chi will go with Cruiser.
(whimpering)
- Huh?
(yipping)
(growling)
- Down boy!
You rip it, you buy it!
- Give me your arm.
- What?
- The combined power of our dragon bands
will generate a healing energy.
- Even on mine's shadow power?
- It's all about finding balance, Ling.
The yin and the yang.
- Yeah.
It always has been that way between you and me, hasn't it?
- Always.
(dramatic music)
- We have to stop it!
- Stop who?
- (gasps) Shadow Dragon?
- It's okay.
My sister is the one who convinced us
to follow your little dog.
- I've got to get back in there!
- Hang on, Chow.
Whoever did this to you is probably still out there.
- You're not gonna believe this.
Some scientist thinks dogs are better than people.
- Hey!
No argument there.
- Yeah, well this guy wants to turn everyone into dogs,
and he started with himself.
- Get real!
- I saw it with my own eyes.
And felt it.
He's got some kind of gene or DNA altering machine.
- I love animals too, but I don't want to be on.
We've gotta stop this biscuit-for-brains.
- All right, we're with you all the way.
- I had hoped my little friend would bring one dragon.
I'm honored he found two.
- Thanks.
(growling)
- Come back here with that!
- Doggone mutt!
- Oh!
My power band!
(yipping)
- Good dog, little Cruiser!
- I hadn't got around to naming him yet.
Cruiser.
It fits.
- Empower the Dog!
(intense music)
Be ready.
The thing that attacked me
was like nothing we've seen before.
- Yeah, but then neither are we!
(dramatic music)
- Hey, wait for me!
You never know when you may need a little monkey business.
(howling)
(anxious music)
- I got a bad feeling about this place.
(growling)
- What's the meaning of this?
Who are you?!
What are you?
- Just concerned citizens.
- Trespassing on private property.
- So call the police.
Bring in the Army.
Then you can tell them what you're really doing here.
- And what might that be?
- Messing with nature.
(barking)
- I strongly doubt his testimony will hold up.
However, I'd prefer it didn't come to that.
So I shall demonstrate the ultimate genetic breakthrough.
By turning you all into canine creatures!
(electricity sizzling)
Like this!
- Mad scientist and mad dog alert!
(barking)
(howling)
(dogs barking)
(snarling)
(shouting)
(dogs barking)
- You go high, I'll go low.
(whimpering)
Okay, okay, I'll go high, and you go low.
(barking)
(howling)
- [Ang] Look out!
(beakers shattering)
(shouting)
- [Ling] He's moving too fast.
- We need a distraction to get a clear shot.
(yipping)
- No, Cruiser!
(yipping)
Don't fire!
You might hit Cruiser!
- [Ang] We've got to get that collar off him.
- He's too powerful!
- Don't worry!
I brought reinforcements.
(barking)
- Cruiser, get his color!
(howling)
Gotcha.
(growling)
- Must ...
have ...
my collar.
- Your dog days are over, doc.
(dramatic music)
- No!
- Oh yes.
(yipping)
- The scientist is receiving the care he needs.
And yes, Ling, his three dogs
are also being very well cared for.
(panting)
- I'm sure gonna miss this little guy.
- You're welcome to come and visit him any time.
That is, as long as you leave the Zodiac Master behind.
- Deal.
- You know, Ling, you could have a pet.
Heck, lots of them.
If you moved home.
- I think that's the best reason you've given me yet.
Trouble is, I wouldn't have been able to help you
without this, and I'm not ready to give it up.
But maybe I'll see you around again, Golden Dragon.
