History[]
Secrets of the Mogwai[]
In Shanghai 1920, a boy named Sam makes medicine for Mr. Shao, ordering his two parents on how to correctly make it until he is told to give his grandfather his medicine. He walks into his room, and is grabbed by his grandfather from under the bed. His grandfather tells him that he is growing strong and is given arthritis medicine by Sam, which he does not drink all of.
Sam's mother tells Sam that he can go shopping with his father, Hon, which excites the boy. His grandfather says that he is now inspired and wants to go with his grandson, convincing his daughter to let him go with Sam. He pulls out his adventures box, which fascinates Sam, so his grandfather gifts it to him.
Sam's grandfather told them that mogwai have many rules to them.
Gizmo is scared looking at the other mogwai. Sam's grandfather tells him that there are many rules to mogwai, such as no bright light and never feed them after midnight. He puts them in a box while his daughter mentions that she believed his stories were not real. Sam's grandfather explains that mogwai are very real and both Sam and himself would be heading to Fengdong, which had been destroyed by the mogwai. Sam's grandfather invites his daughter and son-in-law while people show up at their shop.
Elle knocks, while her boss tells her to behave as if she works for him. Sam's family hides as Sam's grandfather says that he could protect Gizmo since he has a kind heart, handing him a book and saying he would scare the people outside, who threatened Gizmo's safety.
Sam's grandfather tells the mysterious man that their shop was closed, but the man says that nothing closes for him. After talking for a little bit, the man infers that he used to be a treasure hunter, also asking if he knows the value of what he had stolen from him. He introduces himself as Riley Green, saying that he also considers himself a treasure hunter, offering to leave if he gives him the mogwai. Sam's grandfather laughs, saying that he does have the mogwai, but had never come home empty handed during his days as a treasure hunter. He pulls out a spin drum and begins playing it, shooting at Riley's security and shooting at Riley as well.
Riley turned Sam's grandfather into a pearl he swallowed in order to consume his knowledge.
After smoke clears, Riley is unfazed, saying he had learned that trick as a child, and shooting at Sam's grandfather with something he mastered as an adult. Both of them clash with magic, but Sam's grandfather is overpowered and captured into a small pearl by Riley. Elle tries to escape, but is not allowed to do so by Riley. Riley opens his mouth wide and swallows the pearl Sam's grandfather was in.
Riley and his team hear Sam's family. Sam's father tells Sam and his mother to leave, which they do instantly, followed through the city by Riley's men and Elle. Sam and his mother make it to an alley and manage to escape. After catching their breath, Sam's mother tells him to hide while she diverts the villains.
Locked up, Sam's parents get a message from Sam, which says that he is abandoning his 21 year-old plan. He now has a two-month plan, which would involve getting Gizmo to safety, also promising to be back at some point.
Sam's parents are taken to a room where they are locked up, while Riley taunts them, asking if they were still upset over him swallowing her father. Riley says that he was going to bury them in a ditch, but chose to bring them on his ship as leverage. He reveals that their shipmates would be the other mogwai as he also tells them that he knows all about their son.
On Riley's boat, the mogwai constantly zap themselves as Hon and Fong sit trapped. Fong says that they need to leave quickly so they can get Sam back.
Fong and Hon work on the henchman's arm, trying to sweet talk them in order to trick them into telling them about the ship. Fong secretly tells Hon that they would not attempt an escape until they got Sam.
On Riley's ship, the mogwai reach the captain's cabin and shut the ship's lights off. The captain finds out and is attacked by a mogwai, who then takes control of the helm.
Fong tells the henchmen to not check what was happening, as she would be doing it herself along with Hon.
Riley tells his henchman that they are dealing with creatures that were good at chaos, so they begin to sound the alarm, which has been taken control of by the mogwai.
Fong and Hon run, but Hon wants to run away from Greene, while Fong says that the ship is taking them straight to Sam, so they need to fight magic with magic. In Greene's office, Hon and Fong look for anything that could be magical or deadly.
On Riley's ship, the mogwai begin to attack everyone and take control of everything. Meanwhile, Fong and Hon are also surprised by the appearance of a mogwai in Greene's office. The mogwai starts throwing things at them until they make it disintegrate in a liquid. Another one comes in, and Fong manages to kill it with the ceiling fan. They are approached by many more, but Fong eventually finds a wand that is able to kill them instantly.
Hon and Fong walk through Greene's ship until they enocounter Riley himself. Fong points the wand at him, which holds a bright light, which Riley says means instant death to a mogwai, but does nothing to him. They run away from him, but stop when they see mogwai attacking a henchman. Since they stop, Riley approaches them from behind and freezes them.
Since he no longer had a crew, Riley struck up a deal with Claw, working together.
Using the wand, Riley kills many mogwai at once and demands a parlay with their leader. The lead mogwai pops out, so Riley says that he could take them out easily, but since they took out his crew, he needs to get to the Valley of Jade. He asks the mogwai, whom he names Claw, what she would like in return, to which the mogwai responds the ship so she can travel. Riley agrees to her terms and they become allies.
Riley flies up to Sam and Elle. Elle is tired of listening to Riley, asking him to kill her, but he says that he would not, as he is now a god and she is irrelevant. He mentions he has a present for Sam, telling him that he could not have done it without him, throwing his parents back at him, saying goodbye.
Sam apologizes to Fong and Hon, saying that he should have never left and admitting failure. He cries as his parents hug and comfort him. Elle makes a sarcastic comment, to which Fong responds by yelling at her, saying they do not like her, but Sam tells her to stop as she had saved his life. Elle says that they have to go and help Gizmo, so she calls out to the evil mogwai and distracts them from their attention. Elle heads down, followed by Sam, Fong, and Hon.
The evil mogwai start dancing and singing together, which surprises Elle, Sam, Fong and Hon. Sam mentions this is strange behavior, which probably indicates something is wrong. Riley turns around and Claw throws herself at him, hugging him. A mogwai tells Riley to allow himself to accept love, since he had always wanted a hug. However, Claw bites him, followed by some other mogwai. Riley frees himself, saying that he is the most powerful being and they would never win by brute force.
Elle tries to grab her mogwai friend, but Claw pushes him into the portal and closes it behind her, leaving Sam, Fong and Hon trapped with her in the Valley of Jade.
Riley rises after having taken Nuwa's power and laughs excitedly. The celestial administrator opens the door, saying that he only helps Nuwa with portals, telling him that he knows everything there is to know about him, including that his only power was stealing, which will never really fill his void inside because he was never hugged as a child. Riley is angered by this, and slices the administrator in half. The administrator says that he will never help him, but Riley opens up a portal on his own, declaring himself to be a god.
Riley floats down to Elle, Sam, and Gizmo, revealing that he had swallowed Nuwa, taking all her knowledge in the process. Riley also mentions that he originally intended to take all the mogwai in order to sell immortality, but he realized that the valley held just than just the mogwai, looking at the knife.
As Sam held the knife up towards Riley, the latter taunted him.
Gizmo and Elle are attacked by evil mogwai, but Sam manages to avoid them and grabs the knife, telling Riley to stand back. Riley says that the knife is dangerous, but Sam remembers his grandfather and knows that he could protect the mogwai. Riley taunts him, showing Sam his parents and telling him that the knife is very dangerous to use. Sam is now confused, worried about his parents as Elle tells him that it was a lie and he could use it.
Since he hesitates, Sam has the knife taken away from him by Riley, who says that he now only needed a taste of eternal life. He takes a mogwai and swallows him, declaring himself immortal. Elle and Sam exclaim in horror while Riley's eyes glow full of color.
Evil mogwai are rounding up the rest of the mogwai in the middle of the Valley of Jade, while Riley mentions that he still wants more, trying to create different things. Claw looks at the blade with interest as Riley plays around with it.
Claw tells Riley that both her and the rest of the mogwai had held up their end of the bargain, but Riley says that being a god had altered his perspective. he tells Claw to consider their deal changed. Riley tells them that he would go to Shanghai, but he could not have them wreaking havoc all over the world, so he tells them that they would stay there where they belonged. After that, Riley opens up a portal.
The evil mogwai start dancing and singing together, which surprises Elle, Sam, Fong and Hon. Sam mentions this is strange behavior, which probably indicates something is wrong. Riley turns around and Claw throws herself at him, hugging him. A mogwai tells Riley to allow himself to accept love, since he had always wanted a hug. However, Claw bites him, followed by some other mogwai. Riley frees himself, saying that he is the most powerful being and they would never win by brute force.
After having taunted the mogwai, Riley's hands ended up being removed from him.
Riley is distracted, telling Claw that he had enchanted the knife so that it would magnetize to his hand. As he says this, the mogwai let an axe fall on his wrist, slicing it off and causing Riley a large amount of pain. As he cries out in pain, the evil mogwai see that their plan had worked. Riley says that that was his magic hand, but he could still use his left hand. As he says this, Claw points the knife at him and wishes that Riley had no hands, so the left hand disappears as well.
Riley faints and Claw calls for Gizmo, saying that she wants fun and holding the knife up in delight. She turns all the remaining mogwai evil just like her, which another mogwai says she was doing to torture Gizmo. The evil mogwai jump into the portal, as Gizmo looks down.
Elle tries to grab her mogwai friend, but Claw pushes him into the portal and closes it behind her, leaving Sam, Fong and Hon trapped with her in the Valley of Jade. At the Valley of Jade, Hon tries to tie Riley up, but has a hard time, as the latter has no wrists. Fong holds a knife up to Riley's face, but he says that he can no longer use his magic. Fong says that she would not take her chances with him, since he had killed her father, to which Riley responds that he had only reduced her father's essence into a pearl, subsequently getting hit in the head by Fong.
Sam was protected by his parents, who were not eager to have him running around again.
Sam, Elle, Hong, Fong, and Riley make it to Shanghai, where Hon says that they would never leave again. However, a window breaks and an evil mogwai enters. Looking through a hole in their door, they see the evil mogwai causing all sorts of chaos and hurting people. Hon knocks Riley out as he is about to change the mogwai's name, so Fong tells the children to put him in a trunk and then to fortify the windows. Sam says that they should fortify the back door as well, but Elle says that they were not staying, since they needed to save their mogwai friend and get out of the city. However, Sam refuses, saying that he cannot, since he had let him down once before and everything was his fault. Elle tells him to do better now that they could try again, but Fong says that they would stay inside the shop until the danger passed, so Elle leaves.
Sam, Hon, and Fong secure their home with boards which cover up the windows so they could not see outside. Sam peeks outside and sees the mogwai attacking people all over town. Fong comforts him and asks him to get more nails for her. Sam looks at everything he had collected during his adventure and sees a drawing of Gizmo, so he puts on his backpack and heads outside. Sam is followed by Hon and Fong, who tell him that it is not safe for him to be out there, since he would get hurt. However, Sam says that he needs to try to do something. Sam is attacked by mogwai and fights them effectively proving to his parents that he was not the same Sam that they had known their whole life.
Elle attacks the mogwai at Madame Claw's, which confuses Claw. She begins to use the knife of creation while Elle walks up to Gizmo, releasing him from his cafe. However, she is pushed into the middle of Madame Claw's where she is attacked by Claw. Sam, Fong and Hon use bright lights to distract Claw and the rest of the mogwai, which allows Elle to grab Gizmo and run with him. Sam walks up to Gizmo and Elle, telling his mogwai friend that he would never leave him again.
Claw starts destroying everything in her path, as Fong is able to save Elle from a falling structure. Sam and Hon see this, trying to lift the structure and worrying about Fong.
Fong saved Elle's life when Claw became huge.
Sam, Hon, Elle, and Gizmo uncover Fong, who had saved Elle's life. She is weak, but okay, so Elle says that they should go as they are searched for. Elle thanks Fong for saving her life, but the latter mentions she only did it so she would become a better person. Sam says that they could now move on to step four of his plan, which involved stealing back the clay knife.
Gizmo tells Sam that he could be bait for Claw, which he says could work, so that they could grab the knife back. Sam mentions that that had happened before, which shocks Hon. Sam says that Nuwa had used the knife in order to turn them back into good mogwai, but Elle says that Nuwa was a god. However, Sam says that they were the only ones that knew what to do. With that said, Sam asks Hon and Fong to go back home, as Elle hands them a whistle they could blow if they got into trouble.
As Hon and Fong walk, they see that they are being followed by mogwai on bikes. Hon blows on the whistle they were given and many kids show up in order to help them out.
Gizmo was allowed to return to Sam and his family by Nuwa.
Nuwa says goodbye to Sam, calling for Gizmo, who says goodbye to Elle. Sam approaches Gizmo and mentions that they could go back to their normal lives, even though he would be missing their adventures. As Gizmo approaches the portal, he turns around one last time and says goodbye sadly. Nuwa asks Gizmo if he really does not want to leave Shanghai and allows him to go back to Sam, saying that she would trust humanity once again and would not be returning if it does not go well.
At the Wing Family Medicine shop, Sam and Elle work as Hon and Fong mention that they would probably end up working for the children someday. Gizmo watches happily as Sam's grandfather asks who could help him with deliveries.
