The Amazing T-Troop is the seventy-second episode of Jackie Chan Adventures.

Synopsis[]

The next Oni Mask is discovered to be in San Francisco. When the mask is located, Jade decides Jackie needs some re-enforcements, and brings in the T-Troop.

Plot[]

Tarakudo informs Hak Foo while he's training that he's located the next mask, and intends for Hak Foo to wear it.

Meanwhile Jackie has been taking Scruffy to obedience school to try and prevent him from annoying the neighbors. When Jade tries to prove that Scruffy doesn't need obedience school, he ends up tying Jackie to two light poles.

When Jackie and Jade get home, they discover Uncle and Tohru are trying to make the cards reveal the location of the next mask. Scruffy playfully jumps off and on the counter where they are working, causing three of the cards to land in combination to reveal the next mask, that it's in the San Francisco Museum of Natural History and that the removal spell ingredient is Japanese rice, which Uncle immediately tells Tohru to begin making a backup plan.

Suddenly Farmer MacDonald walks through the front door accompanied by Mordecai, and Eggbert. MacDonald reveals that he is in town for a tractor convention, and decided to visit the Chans a visit. While he sets out to retrieve the mask, Jackie has Jade find somewhere for MacDonald and his animals to stay so they don't annoy Uncle, and so she takes them to Section 13 where the animals proceed to cause a commotion. At the museum, Jackie successfully finds the mask in the dinosaur exhibit shortly after Jade shows up with Scruffy.

Hak Foo suddenly emerges with Tarakudo and fights Jackie for the mask. When Scruffy attempts to get the mask away from Hak Foo, he bites down on it which causes the mask to bond with the dog's face, transforming him into a monstrous, demonic hound. Hak Foo's doomed attempt to rip the mask from Scruffy is prevented when Tarakudo reminds him that it can only be done by a good chi spell. To make matters worse, Scruffy immediately blends together his demon and dog instincts and goes on a rampage.

Jackie sends Jade back to Section 13 before setting out to find the Scruffy before Tarakudo is able to recruit him as an Oni General. Jackie's attempt to protect Jade backfires when she suddenly gets the idea to use the Talismans to assemble a superpowered strike force dubbed the T-Troop, giving Mordecai the Pig Talisman, Eggbert the Rooster Talisman, reanimating her Super Moose doll with the Rat Talisman, and giving herself super strength with the Ox Talisman, grossly inflating her muscles in the process.

Meanwhile, Tarakudo has successfully recruited Scruffy, renamed him Spike, and taught him how to summon the Bat Khan. Jackie is hopelessly outmatched by Scruffy's alter ego and his Shadowkhan minions. Suddenly, the T-Troop arrives and fights the Shadowkhan in a brief skirmish. Jackie is trapped when he falls down a crack in the ground inadvertently created by Jade's enhanced strength when she attempted to slam a small group of Shadowkhan. Jade attempts to save her former pet by removing his mask, revealing that she "swung by Uncle's for a little rice potion", only for a Bat Khan to snatch the vial from her hand. Jade and her T-Troop are quickly overwhelmed by Spike's endless supply of minions, and Jackie watches helplessly as the Shadowkhan fly off into the night sky with a dazed Jade dangling from Spike's mouth.

Tarakudo, Spike and the Shadowkhan take Jade to the top of Coit Tower, where she is bound to a column by a cord of dark energy. Tarakudo reveals that Spike's transformation is nearly complete and that soon not even the potion will be able to restore the dog to his former self. As a test of Spike's obedience, Tarakudo orders him to devour his former master. Suddenly, the T-Troop and Jackie arrive on the scene. Eggbert uses his talisman power to retrieve the vial before boldly taking on Tarakudo, the two of whom engage in a telekinetic fight. Mordecai uses his heat-beam vision to free Jade by slicing through her bonds before proceeding to engage the Shadowkhan with Super Moose. Meanwhile, Jackie administers the potion to himself and attempts to pry the mask from Spike's face, only to be dragged around with little success.

After one final attempt to telling her former pet to stay, Jade leaps onto Spike and manages to restrain him long enough for Jackie to remove the mask, pulling it off just as the Shadowkhan are about to rip them apart, restoring Spike to Scruffy and destroying the Shadowkhan. Tarakudo retreats in defeat, but not before aiming a telekinetic blast at Jade. However, Scruffy heroically leaps in front of her, seemingly sacrificing himself for his master. Jackie and Jade affirm that Scruffy was a good god as the other members of the T-Troop bow their heads sadly and respectfully, only for Scruffy to open his eyes after Tarakudo has left, revealing that he was simply playing dead, inferring that he did know how to obey all along. Meanwhile, Farmer MacDonald has turned Section 13 upside down looking for his animals.
