Overview[]
Jackie is recruited by Section 13 to search for twelve magic talismans scattered across the globe, in order to stop a criminal organization known as the Dark Hand from using them to revive an ancient demon sorcerer, Shendu. When the tiger talisman is split in half, so is Jackie, and his dark half hands over the talismans, allowing the Dark Hand to reanimate Shendu. Shendu travels to China to summon his dragon army to destroy all of Asia. Jackie pulls the talismans out of Shendu, causing him to transform back into a statue, and Jade destroys him. However, this leaves a vacuum to be filled by a new more powerful evil force.

Chronology[]
- The first three episodes of Season 2 are actually set during the events of Season 1. Through the Rabbit Hole takes place after Shell Game but before The Dog and Piggy Show, since the Rabbit Talisman was first discovered in the former and the Seeking Device was destroyed in the latter. The Warrior Incarnate takes place in-between The Rock and The Jade Monkey, since the Horse Talisman was first discovered in the former and the Monkey Talisman (which Lo Pei notes is missing from the vault) was first discovered in the latter. Finally, Snake Hunt takes place directly before Enter the Viper, essential serving as a prequel to that episode.
