==Plot==
In the junkyard, [[Uncle]] leads [[Jackie]] to find a huge source of dark chi, followed by [[Jade]]. Suddenly, a green flash of light appears and a mysterious woman comes out of nowhere. She frantically says she's late and tells them that Jade needs to get away from the site. Jackie asks the woman ''what'' is the problem. Then some shadow figure coems above, which the woman blasts away with an energy beam from her palm. She keeps insisting that Jade leave but Jackie wants answers. The woman uses martial arts against him, outclassing him. She then disappears with Jade in a cloud of green smoke. Uncle sniffs that the smoke is good magic but Jackie is skeptical.

As San Francisco prepares to celebrate the Chinese New Year, [[Uncle]] leads [[Jackie Chan|Jackie]] through a junkyard on the other side of town with his experimental chi detector, which has picked up a disturbing source of dark chi. Unsurprisingly, Jade is revealed to have tagged along. Suddenly, Uncle's chi detector flies off the chart as a green flash of light appears and a mysterious woman emerges out of nowhere. She frantically affirms that she's late before proceeding to tell them that Jade needs to get away from the site. Jackie bluntly asks the woman what she wants with Jade, upon which she draws his attention to the looming figure watching them from above, once again setting off Uncle's chi detector, but is swiftly repelled when the woman suddenly blasts him away with an energy beam from her palm. She keeps insisting that Jade leave, but Jackie wants answers. The woman uses martial arts against him, easily outclassing him. She then disappears with Jade in a cloud of green smoke. Uncle sniffs the smoke and determines that the woman is using good chi magic, but Jackie remains skeptical.
   
The woman seems to know about Jade's rides on the Pukinator at Mooseworld and all the rules Jackie set for her. It then hits Jade that the woman is her from the future. Future Jade whistles for a cab. Jackie follows in an ice cream truck, promising the driver to buy a dozen cones. Inside she explains that in the future, she is the head of [[Section 13]] while [[Captain Black]] takes over [[Section 14]] on the East Coast. Suddenly, they are attacked by the shadowy figure from the junkyard, who Future Jade says is [[Shendu]]'s son, [[Drago]]. Using his fire breath, he destroys the Dragon [[Talismans|Talisman]], which Future Jade brought back. They hide in a fireworks warehouse. Present Jade wants to ambush Drago but her future self says that if Drago eliminates her, she won't exist in the future. They use a mechanical dragon tail to slap him, but Jackie's arrival pleased Drago, who lits a number of fireworks and leaves. Luckily, the three are able to escape and Jackie notices the facial resemblances.

Jade quickly discovers that her kidnapper possesses intimate knowledge on her. When pressed for answers, the stranger reveals herself to be Jade from the future. Jade's future self proceeds to hail a cab and promises to explain everything on the journey. Commandeering an ice cream truck, Jackie follows them in pursuit. In the back of the cab, Jade's future self explains that in her present, she is the head of [[Section 13]], having succeeded [[Captain Black]], who has in turn been placed in charge of Section 14 on the East Coast. Suddenly, something crashes onto the roof of the cab, slicing it open with its scaly claws, revealing himself to be the same figure from the junkyard. Jade's future self explains that the individual pursuing them is [[Shendu]]'s son, [[Drago]]. Future Jade attempts to repel him again using her magic blast, which is revealed to be the [[Dragon Talisman]] that Future Jade had brought back from her present. As Drago proceeds to unleash his fiery breath, the pair leap from the cab, whereupon Future Jade loses her grip of the talisman, allowing Drago to burn it to a cinder.
   
  +
Defenseless, the duo hide in a warehouse containing the parade floats, banners and fireworks for the Chinese New Year celebrations. Hiding behind a dragon's head, Jade instructs her future self to distract Drago so she can ambush him from behind, but Future Jade infers that if Drago were to eliminate her, she would no longer exist in the future, and there would be no one to stop Drago. The pair instead commandeer the dragon float, using its mechanical tail to slap Drago into a set of gongs, alerting Jackie, who had successfully tracked them to the site. Jackie's timely arrival appears to please Drago, who tells him that his father sends his best before proceeding to light the warehouse with his fiery breath. Jackie makes the mistake of fleeing amongst a crate of fireworks, which Drago ignites before bidding them farewell. With some quick thinking, Future Jade is able to pluck Jackie from danger before the three manage to escape the building. When Jackie asks Jade to explain, both Jade and her future self respond, and he quickly deduces the identity of his niece's kidnapper.
When they recuperate, Future Jade explains that she didn't intend for Drago to show up. Jackie asks why she came back. Present Jade deduces that Drago came back to wipe her out of existence so Future Her came back to save her; But Future Jade says it's not the case. When she became in charge of Section 13, Drago became number one on their most wanted list. She managed to convince Jackie and Uncle to come as the agency's magic consultants -- much to the dismay of Present Jackie, who is shocked that he'd never leave Section 13. But neither of them could anticipate Drago's next move, for he had unleashed an army of dragons, forcing Jade to go into the past to change things. But Drago caught on and followed her, knowing she was planning to put the kabash on the Age of Dragons. At that moment, Uncle finds a set of [[Dragon's Teeth|dragon teeth but]] is ambushed by Drago. On the way with some scooters, Future Jade explains that Drago cast a spell that is set to release Shendu in the future, who will devour Jackie and Uncle as his first meal, linearly in time at midnight.

After they recuperate, Future Jade explains that she did not intend to involve either of them, nor for Drago to show up. Jackie presses Future Jade for answers, asking her why she travelled back in time to begin with, but before she can answer, Present Jade interjects with her own theory, deducing that she has travelled back in time to stop Drago from wiping her out of existence in the past to prevent her from growing up and becoming her future self. However, Jackie debunks her theory by reminding her that Drago left the warehouse without finishing any of them off. Further pressed for answers, Future Jade reveals that it was actually Drago that followed her into the past, rather than vice versa. She proceeds to explain that when she was placed in charge of Section 13, Drago became number one on their most wanted list. In light of this new threat, she managed to convince Jackie and Uncle to become the agency's official consultants on magic, much to the dismay of Present Jackie, who is shocked that he will seemingly never leave Section 13 and live out a normal live. However, neither Jackie nor Uncle could have anticipated Drago's next move, for he had unleashed an army of [[Dragons|dragon minions]] upon discovering one of his father's ancient spells. With Section 13 lost, Future Jade concluded that the only way to save the future was to change the past. Using one of Uncle's spells, Future Jade managed to open a portal into the past, but Drago had caught wise of her plan and followed her, aware that she was planning to put the kibosh on the Age of Dragons. When asked by Jackie on what changes to the past is Drago attempting to prevent her from making, Future Jade reveals that he is attempting to stop her from preventing the resurrection of his father, Shendu, in the future. She explains that the key to Shendu's resurrection is a set of [[Dragon's Teeth]], located somewhere in the city. Future Jade infers that if she can destroy the teeth by midnight, she can effectively prevent Shendu's resurrection in the future. When asked by her past self why the teeth must be destroyed before midnight, Future Jade reveals that Shendu is scheduled to be resurrected on the stroke of Chinese New Year, and that the captive Jackie and Uncle from her present are to be Shendu's first meal, linearly in time at midnight.
They arrive at the sight where the teeth are suppose to be only to find they're gone -- Drago had stored them in a vial and has Uncle bungee... without a bungee, hanging from a rope. He demands Future Jade's spare time portal spell so he can get back. Jackie climbs to save Uncle which Future Jade fought Drago. Present Jade is able to knock the teeth out of Drago's hands. But midnight has already arrived, and in the future, Shendu returns to humanoid form, ready to devour Jackie and Uncle. Thinking alike, the Jades mock Drago, calling him "the toothfairy" and "a gecko with zits", enraging him to release a breath of fire, which Present Jade throws the teeth in its path, destroying them, which are simultaneously destroyed in the future, reducing Shendu back to stone. More furious than ever, Drago charges only to be blasted away by Uncle, who asserts his stance of "magic must defeat magic" and notices the teeth are gone. Future Jade says dragon breath is magic, "duh". Uncle asks who "good chi knowitall who looks like Jade?" and then it dawns on him.

Meanwhile, Uncle has been tracking dark chi across the city with his chi detector, and suddenly discovers a dragon shrine containing the teeth buried beneath the earth. However, his chi detector once again flies off the chart as Drago emerges before proceeding to seize the teeth. Commandeering a pair of scooters, the three arrive at the location of the shrine, only to discover that the teeth are missing. They find Uncle suspended from a bridge, hanging upside down. Drago reveals himself, holding a vial containing the teeth whilst demanding that Future Jade provide him the portal spell required to return to the future, threatening to take Uncle "bungee jumping without a bungee". Whilst Jackie scales the bridge to save Uncle, Future Jade proceeds to fight Drago, but is eventually bested by the Demon. Before Drago and finish her off with his fiery breath, however, Present Jade jumps in to save her, knocking the teeth out of his hands for Future Jade to secure. However, midnight has already arrived, and in the future, Shendu returns to his physical form, ready to devour Jackie and Uncle. Thinking alike, the two Jades mock Drago, calling him "the tooth fairy" and "a gecko with zits", enraging him enough to release a breath of fire, to which Present Jade then throws the teeth in its path, destroying them. This simultaneously destroys them in the future, reducing Shendu back to stone. More furious than ever, Drago charges only to be blasted away by Uncle, who asserts his belief that "magic must defeat magic" before noticing that the teeth are gone. Future Jade quips that that dragon breath is magic, "duh". Uncle asks "who is smarty-pants, good chi magic know-it-all who looks like Jade?", until it finally begins to dawn on him.

Synopsis

In the future, Jade has been placed in charge of Section 13, but is forced to flee into the past when her present is threatened by Drago, the son of Shendu, who has devised a way to resurrect his father in the future.

Plot

As San Francisco prepares to celebrate the Chinese New Year, Uncle leads Jackie through a junkyard on the other side of town with his experimental chi detector, which has picked up a disturbing source of dark chi. Unsurprisingly, Jade is revealed to have tagged along. Suddenly, Uncle's chi detector flies off the chart as a green flash of light appears and a mysterious woman emerges out of nowhere. She frantically affirms that she's late before proceeding to tell them that Jade needs to get away from the site. Jackie bluntly asks the woman what she wants with Jade, upon which she draws his attention to the looming figure watching them from above, once again setting off Uncle's chi detector, but is swiftly repelled when the woman suddenly blasts him away with an energy beam from her palm. She keeps insisting that Jade leave, but Jackie wants answers. The woman uses martial arts against him, easily outclassing him. She then disappears with Jade in a cloud of green smoke. Uncle sniffs the smoke and determines that the woman is using good chi magic, but Jackie remains skeptical.

Jade quickly discovers that her kidnapper possesses intimate knowledge on her. When pressed for answers, the stranger reveals herself to be Jade from the future. Jade's future self proceeds to hail a cab and promises to explain everything on the journey. Commandeering an ice cream truck, Jackie follows them in pursuit. In the back of the cab, Jade's future self explains that in her present, she is the head of Section 13, having succeeded Captain Black, who has in turn been placed in charge of Section 14 on the East Coast. Suddenly, something crashes onto the roof of the cab, slicing it open with its scaly claws, revealing himself to be the same figure from the junkyard. Jade's future self explains that the individual pursuing them is Shendu's son, Drago. Future Jade attempts to repel him again using her magic blast, which is revealed to be the Dragon Talisman that Future Jade had brought back from her present. As Drago proceeds to unleash his fiery breath, the pair leap from the cab, whereupon Future Jade loses her grip of the talisman, allowing Drago to burn it to a cinder.

Trivia

  • Both the title and premise of this episode reference the 2003 Terminator film T3: Rise of the Machines. At the beginning of the episode, Future Jade's arrival into the present clearly parodies the arrival of the T-800 from the future at the beginning of each of the franchise's first three films.
