The last Golden Dragon has passed on and a new Dragon must be chosen before evil strikes. Master Chin takes the twins to the secret Temple Of The Dragons (hidden inside the mountain beneath the Dragon Dojo in Hong Kong). At the temple Master Chin presents the Band of Power to the next Golden Dragon… fifteen-year-old Ang Leung! While Ang’s twin sister, Ling, protests, the Zodiac Master attacks. Ang transforms into the Golden Dragon and drives him off. Unwilling to accept second place, Ling disappears leaving Ang filled with apprehension… he’s too young and inexperienced… is he really ready to be the Golden Dragon!

The Zodiac Master targets the Temple of the Tigers, not caring that Beingal, the Tiger Guardian, was once one of Ling’s dearest friends. Beingal puts up a noble fight, but the Shadow Dragon defeats her and Zodiac Master takes the power of Tiger. Later, the Zodiac Master uses the Tiger power against the Golden Dragon, while Ling, the Shadow Dragon suddenly discovers what it means to have a monkey on your back, thanks to Xuan Chi.

Ang can hardly contain himself when he finds out that his favorite martial arts movie star, Wang Lee, is filming his latest epic on location in downtown Hong Kong. Alas, Zodiac Master learns from Ling of Ang's interest in the actor, and tries to take him hostage. Ang prevents the abduction and hides Wang Lee in the old dojo, only to discover that his hero is a pampered, spoiled egotist -- who may prove to be more trouble than he is worth.

The Zodiac Master gains control of the Dog and Ram power bands, two elemental EARTH signs (the other two are Dragon and Ox). The combined powers allow him to generate earthquakes. Ang, Master Chin and Xuan confront Zodiac Master at the Temple of the Ox by the Great Wall of China. When the Zodiac Master wins the Ox band, he discovers that even he cannot control that much elemental power

When Ang’s rashness almost leads to disaster, Master Chin takes him and Xuan Chi to Vietnam for further training from his old friend Shoong, a veritable giant of a man with a gruff and sarcastic manner. Shoong lives like a hermit, with only a pig for company. At first, Shoong’s gruff sarcasm angers Ang, but he comes to appreciate that there’s much to learn from the big man. When the Zodiac Master and Ling track them down, Ang discovers that the unlikely Shoong is actually the Guardian of the Pig Power Band. Ang comes to realize that true wisdom lies in looking beyond the obvious surface appearance
