The story follows the adventures of Ethan Kendrick (Jason Behr), charged in his childhood by the enigmatic Jack (Robert Forster) to protect the Yuh Yi Joo, an individual born able to change an Imoogi chosen by heaven into a Celestial Dragon. To this end, Jack gives Ethan a medallion formerly belonging to Haram and reveals that the Yuh Yi Joo is Sarah Daniels (Amanda Brooks), whom Ethan will find in Los Angeles.
15 years after this revelation, a corrupt Imoogi identified as "Buraki" invades the city, bent on capturing Sarah after being prevented from doing so in the past by Ethan and Jack's past lives; whereupon Ethan, now a television news anchor, rescues her, conveys the knowledge of her purpose, and attempts to save her from Buraki. During the resulting chase, Buraki's "Atrox Army" enters the city and engages the United States Army, the United States Air Force, and the Los Angeles Police Department in battle. Here, the Atrox Army is shown to consist of black-armored, humanoid knight warriors; theropod-like cavalry called "Shaconnes"; small, winged Western dragons called "Bulcos"; and immense, slow-moving reptiles carrying rocket-launchers on their backs, identified in the dialogue as "Dawdlers". Despite losses, this army overwhelms the human forces, while Ethan and Sarah escape the city. They are subsequently captured by the Bulcos and taken to a menacing fortress in the midst of a darkened desert landscape. There, as Buraki emerges from the fortress to consume Sarah, Ethan's medallion unleashes great power that destroys the entire Atrox Army. Ethan attempts to prevent Buraki from consuming Sarah but is knocked away, whereupon the chosen Good Imoogi emerges from the fortress and attacks Buraki. The two Imoogi, good and evil, engage each other in a duel that Buraki appears to win after seemingly snapping the Good Imoogi's neck. Having won the fight, Buraki again approaches Sarah; but having offered herself to him, she instead gives her power to the Good Imoogi who had just revived, thereupon becoming the Celestial Dragon, and continuing the duel until it finally destroys Buraki.
After Buraki is destroyed, Sarah dissolves into a spirit form, and the Celestial Dragon permits her to speak to Ethan, whom she promises to "love...for all eternity"; then withdraws Sarah into his body and ascends to the heavens. Jack appears behind Ethan, reminding him that the two of them "have been given a great honor" to take part in this transformation, and vanishes, presumably never to be seen again. After whispering "Goodbye old man", Ethan walks away into the desert.
