Synopsis

Jasmine has had her hand cut off and she and Lance are wandering through the sewers when they encounter Messiah. Messiah tells them that they are the true saviors of Mother Earth and the Tao Hunters are the real threat. He makes Lance kill a sacrificial victim in order to save Jasmine's life. This act releases the Spirit of the Tao which transforms Jasmine and Lance into a giant dragon that begins to lay waste to San Francisco. Mary and her troops hit the dragon with nukes and believe they have killed it but Jasmine and Lance separate and escape back to Alcatraz Island.
