Re-Enter the Dragon is the sixty-seventh episode of Jackie Chan Adventures.

Synopsis[]

With no dragons left on Earth to inherit the power of combustion, Daolon Wong bargains with the imprisoned Shendu for his rightful talisman power, in exchange for his assistance in liberating him from the Demon Netherworld.

Plot[]

At Uncle's Rare Finds, the Chans begin a spell centered around a dragon totem to locate the power of combustion. But the locator spell reveals nothing, as there are no living noble dragons left on Earth. Jade notes that the last living one was Shendu, who is currently banished in the Demon Netherworld as a spirit. Tohru believes that with no living vessel to inhabit, the power of combustion will remain safe from the forces of darkness, but Uncle remains skeptical so long as Daolon Wong roams the Earth.

Meanwhile, at Daolon's sanctuary, the Dark Chi Wizard establishes contact with Shendu in the Netherworld. The dragon spirit infers that to obtain the power of combustion requires a living, earthbound dragon, which he is no longer. Wong claims that as a master of dark chi magic, he knows a multitude of spells that can restore Shendu to life. Thereby, the dragon spirit agrees to surrender his rightful power to Wong, if he can find a way to return him to physical form.

At Section 13, the Chans bring an entire library of books, intending to research methods of transferring the talisman powers from the Noble Animals into new talisman vessels. Captain Black quickly deduces that with no more animals on the loose, Wong would soon go after the ones they have in the vault, preparing to beef up security when Uncle whacks him, reminding him, "magic must defeat magic" and that the powers need to be transferred into new talismans. However, the new carved talismans crafted by Tohru are useless as vessels, with the proper art of creating them being lost for centuries. Jade then asks Jackie if they can keep the animals, to which Jackie says no, as they have their own owners or natural habitats. Scruffy then barks and the dragon totem resonates, revealing there is a dragon nearby. They follow the disturbance to its source, the backyard of Daolon Wong's mansion hideout, where the Dark Chi Wizard has created a molten crater in the middle of which grew a magical, transparent cocoon. The Chans discover that Wong is trying to create a new body for Shendu. In the ensuring fight, Jade attempts to disrupt the spell with water, forcing Wong to use his heat beam eyes to accelerate the spell, allowing Shendu break out out of the cocoon and announce his return. The power of combustion then arrives, which Wong levitates to obtain, only for Shendu to push him out of the way and regain his power back. Shendu explains sneeringly to Wong that although he is a 'noble' dragon, he is also a Demon Sorcerer, thus not known for keeping promises. Enraged at Shendu's betrayal, Wong tries to destroy him with the Talisman Powers he still has, only for Shendu to suddenly take them from him, remarking that they were thoughtful birthday presents. Shendu is more than eager to quick-fry Jackie Chan, only to find that the Chans have fled to Section 13.

Captain Black has all available units prepared to defend the animals, despite acknowledging Uncle's phrases. Uncle claims they must research a way to defeat Shendu. As Shendu breaks in, all weapons prove useless, so Jackie loads the animals onto a truck and flees the base in an attempt to buy Uncle more time to research a spell to defeat Shendu, who promptly gives chase after Jackie directs his attention. Everyone else at Section 13 then grabs a book to help Uncle.

As Jackie drives, he finds that Jade had snuck onboard, determined to protect Scruffy. However, Jackie accidentally falls into astral form while tussling with Bob over the steering wheel, but gets back into his body. In close pursuit, Shendu destroys a bridge ahead of the truck's path, but Jade uses Lucky to speed them across, saving them from the fall but veering them off course, crashing them through the gates of the city zoo. As they try to flee with the animals, Shendu follows suit, forcing Jackie to distract him. Ultimately, Shendu traps the Chans in a baboon cage while he absorbs his former powers from the animals.

Meanwhile, Uncle had found a way to "defeat the person who knows how to defeat Shendu, even though that person does not know, he knows".

Back at Wong's hideout, the Dark Chi Wizard summons his warriors, donning them in enhanced battle armor to deal with Shendu. As they turn to leave, however, they are confronted by Uncle, Tohru and Captain Back with a brigade of Section 13 troops. Using a spell, Uncle clouds Wong's scepter with good magic, turning the Enforcers back to human and stripping the wizard of his powers. Black then puts the five under arrest. Though he has been disenchanted, Uncle believes that Wong knows a multitude of ancient spells, and that if he wants to have his revenge on Shendu, "...then start talking to Uncle". Wong grumbles to himself, "I put a curse on you."

Back at the zoo, Shendu has finished absorbing his powers from the animals and prepared to make Jackie and Jade suffer when Uncle, Tohru and every agent from Section 13 (all dressed in white wizard robes) emerge into view, reenacting the spell that originally separated Shendu from his powers nine-hundred years ago and imprisoned him in statue form. A shocked Shendu suddenly recognizes the spell and refuses to fall victim to it again. Shendu drops Jackie and Jade and tries to incinerate the Section 13 group with his fiery breath, only for a magic shield to be summoned forth to protect the group against his fire. Jackie gets back up and lands a knockout blow to the dragon before the spell turns him back into a statue, once again separating his powers in the form of the Twelve Talismans. Uncle then reveals that he learned the spell from Daolon Wong. Jackie and Captain Black allow Jade to keep Scruffy, under the condition that he'll move out of the vault. Shendu is then sealed away in the vault, separated from the Talismans by a massive steel door.

Trivia[]

  • The title of this episode is a reference to the 1973 Bruce Lee film Enter the Dragon.
  • Daolon Wong uses both Rooster and Pig Talisman powers in this episode.
  • During the scene where Jade tries to fend off Shendu at the zoo, she apparently mistakes a local pig for Mordecai and attempts to use him to blast Shendu with his optical beams before realizing it's not the same pig. However, this makes no sense, as Daolon Wong had already stolen that power from Mordecai in the episode When Pigs Fly, prompting Jackie and Jade to leave him (along with Eggbert) at Farmer MacDonald's farm. meaning Mordecai would not be among the animals present during that scene.
