Plot[]

While dining in a Chinese restaurant, Uncle tells Jackie and Jade about the legend of the Twelve Talismans, indicating that the one they possess is the Rooster Talisman and that there are elven more to obtain, inferring that each Talisman possesses a different magical power. Jade is eager to start the search, and she asks Jackie to teach her his martial arts skills. While trying to imitate them, she accidentally kicks a waiter, which causes a chain of accidents and wreckage that launches the talisman into a bowl of noodle soup. While Jackie lectures Jade on the importance of self-discipline over mere ambition, the bowl is delivered to the Chans, and Jade unknowingly swallows the talisman.

Just then, the Enforcers arrive looking for the talisman, and Jackie fights them off. When he looks back to the table, he sees the talisman missing, and he comes to a conclusion that the Dark Hand took it. Outside, the Enforcers call Valmont and report that they could not find the talisman. Shendu provides Valmont with the Seeking Device, entrusting it first to the Shadowkhan. Jackie catches up with the Enforcers trying to drive away and fights with them for the talisman. Meanwhile, the Shadowkhan have used the detector to identify Jade as the bearer of the talisman. Jackie moves to fight them off, but they are pursuing Jade, who struggles to escape them by swiping a skateboard. In her frantic dash to get away, Jade accidentally rides off of a bridge, but to her shock, she does not fall. After she turns and floats back to a safe footing, Jackie manages to defeat the Shadowkhan with her help. He then turns to her, but he does not believe her statement that she can fly. Even as he tries to understand it, Tohru appears behind him and knocks him out. Tohru then holds up the Seeking Device he has picked up, seeing that it points to Jade.

At the Helm's Fish Cannery, Tohru calls Valmont, reporting that he has kidnapped Jade and Jackie, and although the Seeking Device indicates that Jade possesses the Talisman, it cannot be found on her person. Shendu advises for Tohru to look within, and Valmont adds, "While you're at it, eliminate Jackie Chan." In the next room, Jackie regains consciousness just as Tohru arrives to dissect Jade, who is strapped to a table. They realize that the talisman is in her stomach, and Jackie tells her to escape somehow. Jade remembers how she flew before, and she tries to escape her bonds, but she ends up levitating everything else in the room. As Tohru prepares his sword, she knocks him out with a crate of fish and then cuts herself and Jackie free. She is now capable of floating several feet in the air and propelling other objects by concentrating her will through the talisman. The two try to escape, but the Enforcers arrive and Tohru wakes up. Jade is able to beat the henchmen, but Tohru provides a much tougher fight and begins to overwhelm Jackie . Jade tries to help Jackie with her new power, but it causes more trouble than help, and Tohru seizes Jackie in a crushing grip. Jade then gets the idea of lifting Tohru himself. She raises him twenty feet into the air causing Tohru to release Jackie from his grip. However, Tohru's massive bulk proved too much for Jade to continue raising him, forcing her to drop him. Tohru then crashes through the floor into the ocean, while Jackie barely escapes being crushed beneath him.

Later at Section 13, Jackie tells Captain Black that Uncle was right about the talismans possessing magical powers. Captain Black does not believe him, and he moves on to say that Jackie and Jade will have to live at Section 13 due to the imminent threat posed by the Dark Hand. Just then, Jade enters the room, as her stomach has just been pumped and the talisman has been retrieved. When she sees that she'll be living in a super-secret underground base, she asks if she is a secret agent now, and both Jackie and Captain Black are quick to reply, "No."
