[edit] Plot

Jackie is already onto the next noble animal - The Rooster, Power of Levitation! Unfortunately, the rooster has discovered its unique Power of Levitation and is levitating all around the top of the Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia! As Jackie is trying to catch the rooster, the Dark Chi Enforcers appears on the other side of the Petronas Tower and dare Ratso to jump. He makes it on the other side as Jackie finally catches the rooster and puts it in a little cage. As Finn and Chow join Ratso a fight between Chan and Enforcers nearly ensues. However, the Enforcers are knocked off of the tower by a door swung open by none other then Jade. After a brief talk, Jackie gets the call from Uncle telling him he has located the next noble animal - The Pig, Power of Heat-Beam Eyes.

Jackie and Jade arrive to a place called Arline Kansas (bringing little joy to Jade who was thinking it was going to be Paris.) Jade calls the rooster Eggbert. They both then discover that they have beaten Uncle and Tohru to the place while Uncle argues over the map. Jackie and Jade then discover a newspaper reading about a pig called Mordecai winning first prize at a county fair. They decide to visit the farmer (farmer McDonald.) and try to get the pig without using the excuse of the animal having magic power, but McDonald doesn't want to let it go. In the evening, Jackie returns alone to get the pig, but struggles since the pig is big and heavy. Jade shows up with the rooster and Jackie, who is now ticked off by the pig's ignorance, tries to pick the pig up and accidentally activates the pig's power of Heat-Beam Eyes. Unfortunately, its target is Jackie. This disturbs farmer McDonald and two big brothers who begin to fight. During the fight, the rooster's cage is knocked over releasing it and it then joins forces with the pig. After the fight, the farmer and the Chans look for Eggbert and Mordecai.

In town, the rooster and pig cause mayhem as Jackie and Jade unsuccessfully try to get the pig and rooster. When McDonald gets the pig and sees the rooster flying it shocks farmer McDonald and the two brothers who then catch the rooster for "winning the fair" purposes. After the animals are taken, Uncle and Tohru arrive and McDonald and the two big brothers soon have the rooster tied up instead of flying everywhere. Daolon Wong then shows up and summons the Enforcers who hold farmer McDonald and the two big brothers to prevent them from interfering. Daolon Wong starts absorbing Eggbert and Mordecai's powers before being interrupted by Jackie and the others. Soon a big fight breaks out and Jackie reveals to farmer McDonald that the animals have magic powers and dark forces have come to claim them. Much to Jackie's surprise, McDonald believes him. Tohru and the two big brothers are defeated by the Enforcers and they go inside McDonald's house to continue the fight. Meanwhile, a certain rooster is trying to fly away. Much to everyone's shock the rooster is able to make the house levitate since he is tied up to the house.

While Jackie fights with the Enforcers, the pig and Jade watch in the background of the flying house. Townsfolk are terrified when the house approaches the town, thinking there is a twister causing the house to float. The fight continues, with Daolon Wong now trying to get the Rooster as Jackie, with Jade and the Pig on his back, come out. The rope snaps no longer making the house float and Jackie quickly grabs the rope thats knotted on the Rooster. The Enforcers and Wong vanish, while the house crumbles to the ground. Jackie, Jade, The Pig and The Rooster land safely in a nearby corn field, and are soon ambushed as Wong reappears and immediately traps Jackie and Jade in the ground. Now the animals are in danger, and Daolon Wong now starts absorbing the powers. Jackie and Jade tell the animals to run but are too late and Daolon Wong fully absorbs the Power of Levitation and the Power of Heat-Beam Eyes from the two animals. As Wong attempts to destroy Jackie and Jade with the Pig power, Tohru quickly puts a cage over him as Uncle shows up. Wong who cannot get out with his Heat-Beam eyes, is angry as Uncle tells him it is forged of good chi, and quickly departs into thin air. Later, Jackie, Jade, Tohru and Uncle help farmer McDonald and the two big brothers relocate to another county as most of his past property got destroyed in the fight. They also give them the Rooster and the Pig who has now formed a strong friendship. The Chans then go back to San Fransisco, disappointed over the loss of two Talisman Powers.
