Prehistoric Creatures Immune to Modern Weapons Suddenly Appear in Los Angeles

In modern times in Los Angeles, a group of cops  is investigating a mysterious trail that appeared overnight and looks like a large creature made  it. Reporter Ethan arrives to cover the news, but nobody wants to answer his questions, although  he gets to see a clue: in the middle of the field there's an object that looks like a huge scale. He  takes a picture and takes it to his office because he's sure he's seen this before, and as Ethan  glances at a medallion that he always wears, he remembe

rs what happened fifteen years ago. When  he was a little kid, Ethan went with his dad to an antique store. While his dad tried to sell an  old blade to Jack, Ethan looked around and found a mysterious box, which unlocked itself after  sensing his presence and revealed a huge scale that glowed brightly. Jack could sense what was  going on and pretended to have a heart attack, so while Ethan's father rushed to find help, Jack  approached Ethan to share a story. Legends spoke of giant snakes calle

d Imoogis and every five  hundred years, one snake would be turned into a celestial dragon to reward it for its good  deeds. For that to happen, an object known as Yuh Yi Joo was needed, which the evil snake  Buraki tried to steal for itself. To stop this from happening, the rulers of Heaven hid the Yuh  Yi Joo in Korea and when the local lord had a daughter named Narin, she was destined to carry  the Yuh Yi Joo on the dragon birthmark on her shoulder. Unfortunately Buraki also learned this  inf

ormation and was waiting to reappear on Narin's twentieth birthday, when Yuh Yi Joo would finish  forming inside her. The Heavens also chose two warriors to protect the Yuh Yi Joo: Haram and his  master Bochun. Haram learned from his master all about the good Imoogi and visited it at its cave,  Bochun also gave him a medallion sent by Heaven that would protect him from any danger. Haram's  duty was to make sure that Yuh Yi Joo would reach a good Imoogi and not Buraki when the time came,  and Nar

in had to be sacrificed for it. However Haram still spent a lot of time with Narin and  they two became a couple. Eventually Buraki sent his Atrox army to attack the village, which  couldn't defend itself against the Atrox's mighty beasts and magical attacks. The soldiers  began checking the shoulders of every woman, causing a citizen to tell them about Narin in  exchange for being left alone. At Narin's house, the soldiers killed her father to make her come  out of hiding and immediately took h

er away when they saw the mark on her shoulder. Moments later,  Bochun and Haram attacked the soldiers to rescue Narim. While Bochin continued to fight, Haram took  Narim to the Imoogi cave, and seeing her in pain, he decided to quit his duty as a guardian. After  dropping the medallion for Bochin to find later, Haram ran away with Narim instead of sacrificing  her to the good Imoogi, however Buraki found them and chased after them. Then the creature cornered  them on a cliff, and the couple dec

ided to end things rather than be used for evil. After the  story was over, Jack gave Ethan the medallion and explained the boy was the reincarnation of  Haram while he was the reincarnation of Bochun. This was their second chance to fulfill their  duty, so Ethan had to find a girl named Sarah, who was the reincarnation of Narin and also was  born with the dragon mark. Once he's remembered the whole story, Ethan asks his friend Bruce to  help him find Sarah with his computer skills. However Bruc

e explains it'll take him a while  because there are hundreds of girls named Sarah with shoulder tattoos. Meanwhile the FBI gets the  lab results from the scale and now knows there's a strange giant creature loose in the city. At the  local gym, Sarah is watching the news on the tv with her best friend Brandy. When the camera shows  the scale that was found on the mysterious trails, Sarah is overwhelmed with a feeling of dread  and runs home to find an old book of talismans, which she proceeds t

o hang on the wall to  protect herself. Later, Brandy comes to check on her and doesn't believe her when Sarah  says something horrible is about to happen, but she does convince her to go out so she can  forget about her paranoia. At the bar, Sarah tries to distract herself, but she can't get rid  of her fear and decides to leave. On the street, a group of men tries to harass Sarah, only for a  weird hobo to suddenly show up and beat the guys up before leaving without saying a word. At the  loca

l zoo, caretaker Belafonte hears some weird noises, and when he goes to check, he discovers an  elephant has been killed by Buraki. Belafonte runs away in fear and soon Buraki leaves as well, so by  the time an Atrox general comes looking for clues, he finds nothing. Later at the police station,  Sarah is trying to tell the cops what happened to her, but nobody believes a random hobo could  beat three guys up. A journalist does think her story is interesting though, and he takes  a picture of he

r. The next morning, Ethan goes looking for Jack at the store, but he isn't  there. The Atrox general finds him and wonders why Ethan isn't looking for the Yuh Yi Joo, but  at that moment, Ethan wakes up at his office. His coworker shows up with the story from the  police station, and as soon as Ethan sees the picture, he can sense this is the right Sarah.  Ethan decides to stay late in the office to look for her address. Meanwhile Belafonte is trying  to tell the cops about the snake, but they

don't believe him either. Sarah is trying to leave the  station in her car, but as soon as she touches it, scales appear on its surface. Terrified, she steps  back and bumps into a cop, who suddenly reveals a magic sword and tries to kill her. At that moment  Sarah wakes up in her bed and begins feeling unbearable pain, so she calls 911 and they take  her to a hospital. Moments later, Brandy tries to visit her friend, but the hospital receptionist  won't let her because she isn't family. Brandy

and her boyfriend decide to go to Sarah's  home and at least get some clothes to bring during visitation hours. Suddenly the whole house  begins shaking, and when they go outside to check, they find Buraki roaring at them. The couple tries  to run away, but they find their way blocked by the general. This gives Buraki the chance to bite  Brandy, but it throws her body in the pool when it realizes this isn't Sarah. The next morning  when Sarah tries to leave her hospital room, only to discover th

e door is locked and there's  a guard outside. When she begins screaming, security and nurses have to come to calm her  down by force. Meanwhile Ethan finally finds Sarah's profile, but he's suddenly interrupted  by a phone call telling him to cover a murder. When Ethan realizes the address is the same as  Sarah's, he rushes there and is relieved to see the dead girl isn't Sarah. Then he overhears  a neighbor saying she saw a giant snake and that the house owner is at the hospital, so Ethan  goe

s there next. The hospital receptionist tells Ethan that Sarah has been quarantined because  the mark on her shoulder may be infectious, which sounds very suspicious. Meanwhile Belaford  is sent to see a psychiatrist, who decides he's crazy. At that moment, Buraki appears at the  window and Belaford tries to prove his story, but the snake leaves before the doctor can see it, and  Buraki is sent to the mental ward. Back to Ethan, he wonders what to do when he suddenly bumps into  a doctor who rec

ognizes him from his stories, saying he's a big fan. The doctor agrees to help  him see Sarah and takes him to her room, where he finds her in a shy and scared state because nobody  believes her when she says something dangerous is coming. Ethan explains it's already happening, but  before he can say more, Buraki begins attacking the hospital. The doctor comes to warn the  couple and sends them out through a back exit, right after they're gone the doctor reveals to  be Jack using an illusion aga

in, implying he had also been the hobo. Ethan and Sarah find Bruce  waiting in his car and immediately take off. Buraki tries chasing after them, but the car is  faster and leaves it behind. A few miles later, Bruce accidentally hits someone with the car,  and Ethan recognizes him as the Atrox general from his dream. The general wants to capture  Sarah, so Bruce tries shooting him and Ethan hits him with a piece of wood, but neither can  hurt him. Next Bruce steals the general's sword, but the s

word sheath itself because Bruce isn't  its master, and the general hits Bruce with a shock of magic. Then he tries to go after Sarah  again, only to be suddenly hit by a random car. Ethan quickly drags Sarah into the new car and  asks the driver to take them away. Afterward, Buraki decides to summon the rest of his Atrox  army as backup. Meanwhile the FBI starts a meeting to discuss what's going on. Some higher-ups don't  want to believe it, but there's enough evidence to indicate there's a myt

hical monster on the loose,  and all the clues lead back to Sarah. Therefore the agents get an order to capture the girl and  terminate her if necessary. They also send a group of soldiers to go after the snake, finding  it hiding in a cave. The soldiers open fire, but the bullets do nothing and Buraki chases them  out of the cave, where the soldiers are quickly defeated by the general's magic. Moments later,  the driver leaves Ethan and Sarah by the beach, asking them to leave town. After they'

re gone,  the driver reveals she was also Jack. Ethan and Sarah go for a walk to discuss the visions they've  had and they share a kiss while Ethan thinks about the fact Sarah may have to die for the Yuh Yi Joo.  Next, they go to visit a psychology professor who specializes in extracting repressed memories.  The professor hypnotizes Sarah and she begins seeing memories of the day her father died,  but then she keeps going back and sees Narin and Haram's story. Suddenly Sarah starts glowing  and

floating, meaning the Yuh Yi Joo has finally finished forming. This awakening has been sensed  by Buraki, who shows up to start destroying the house. Ethan and Sarah escape in a car, and Ethan  calls Bruce to ask for a favor. Moments later, the couple meets Bruce at a café, and Bruce  confirms he's pulled some strings to get a helicopter for them. He also gives Ethan a  gun even if Ethan hates weapons. Afterward, Jack shows up and reminds Ethan he can't change  Sarah's fate, so the right thing i

s to take her to the Imoogi cave. Ethan ignores him and drags Sarah  out of the building right before Buraki arrives to attack again. Bruce picks the couple in his car,  only for Buraki to throw another car at them to make them crash. Ethan and Sarah try to run again  and find themselves cornered by Buraki, but at that moment the police open fire on the snake and  give the couple the chance to escape. As Buraki chases after them through the city and causes lots  of destruction, Ethan and Sarah c

limb to the top of the Liberty Building, where the helicopter is  waiting for them. The moment it tries to take off, Buraki grabs it with its mouth, so Ethan  makes Sarah jump with him back to the roof before the snake crashes the helicopter on the  ground. The sky begins darkening as Buraki gets ready to devour Sarah, but the army helicopters  arrive and begin shooting at it. Buraki fights the helicopters, making many of them crash but  eventually becoming overpowered by their attack. At that m

oment, the general and his beasts arrive  as backup, and they destroy everything on their path no matter if it's helicopters, tanks, or  buildings. Sarah and Ethan leave the building and are found by two FBI agents, who take them away  in their car. When they reach a safe warehouse to hide in, the agents revealed they've researched  the legend and they know about Sarah's destiny. One of the agents tries to shoot Sarah, but Ethan  jumps between them to save her and the bullet only wounds his arm.

When the agent tries again, his  partner shoots first because he's realized killing two young innocent people isn't the answer. Then  the agent gives them his car keys and asks them to do the right thing. Moments later when the  couple is on the road, the general's beasts show up and begin shooting fireballs at them. One  hits the car and makes it flip, causing the crash to knock the couple out. When Ethan wakes up, he  finds himself tied to a pole in Buraki's lair. Sarah is dragged to the alta

r to be sacrificed to  the snake, but right before she can be devoured, Ethan's desperation to save her finally activates  the pendant. A bright light from Heaven hits the pendant and the whole Atrox army, instantly  knocking out Buraki and killing everyone else except for the general. The burning pendant breaks  the rope and Ethan runs towards the altar to fight the general, only to get easily overpowered.  When the general tries to land his final strike, he accidentally hits the pendant and ge

ts killed  by the magic. Buraki wakes up and throws Ethan away before going after Sarah. However at that  moment the good Imoogi finally shows up and begins fighting Buraki. As the monsters engage in  a furious battle, Ethan wants to take the chance to escape, but Sarah sees that the good Imoogi  is losing and finally accepts her destiny. She summons the Yuh Yi Jooh and sends it to the good  Imoogi, who instantly wakes up and transforms into a legendary dragon. With this new power, the  dragon e

asily defeats Buraki and kills it for good with a fireball. Afterward, the dragon comes to  check on Ethan, who is holding Sarah's unconscious body. The dragon expels the Yuh Ji Jooh for a few  seconds to transform Sarah's body into her pure essence, and she gets to appear before Ethan to  tell him she loves him and that they'll see each other again someday. Then Sarah becomes part of  the Yuh Ji Jooh and the dragon picks it up to go to heaven with Sarah's tears in its own eyes.  Ethan watches t

hem with sadness, and when he turns around he sees Jack's spirit disappearing too as  he congratulates him for doing the right thing.
