and don't think for a second

they won't do whatever's

necessary to protect it.

Tony, easy, man.

Just relax.

Ho Yin.

That's right.

You're gonna be okay, buddy.

Just breathe.

What happened?

You were attacked.

It got pretty bad, man.

Wh... Rhodey.

Sorry, Tony,

but this hardware's

all that's keeping you alive.

You saved my life.

No, he did.

Thank you.

How is he?

Ask him yourself.

Tony, meet Li Mei,

the only decent soul

in this den of cutthroats.

Pardon me for not getting up.

I am happy to see you are alive.

That makes two of us.

Thank you.

Li Mei, can you tell me...

why are we prisoners?

I must go.

Huh. Well, heh heh.

That's a first.

You scared off a woman.

Easy to do when you

look like Frankenstein.

How about we find a way

to streamline this a bit?

Your weakness sickens me.

If only I possessed your strength.

Then you would be my son

instead of my disgrace.

I am sorry, Father.

Do not call me that.

I am angry, Li Mei.

I am angry that when

the Mandarin rises,

it is you who will

face him, not me.

It was my right.

I do not want this life.

Your life means nothing.

You are on this earth

to serve another purpose.

It is served with honor.

When it's time, do not fail.

The elementals have the first ring.

We are running out of time.

But Tony Stark has

not yet recovered.

Naah! He's well enough.

We must begin now.

Hey, Tony.

Rhodey, we have to figure out

what they plan to do with us.

Whatever it is,

it ain't gonna be good.

In the end,

Wong Chu will kill you.

No doubt.

Why are the Jade Dragons

so up in arms?

What you have

accomplished in months,

they have spent 3,000 years

trying to prevent.

You mean raising the city?

What could they

possibly be afraid of?

The Mandarin.

But he's nothing but dust now.

Many do not see death

as the final step in one's existence,

and the prophecy

foretells his return.

So because I lifted the ruins,

people think the prophecy

is coming true?

It is as written:

"The city will rise,

and the demon elementals

will awaken.

They will gather the bands

of the underworld

and with them

resurrect their master."

That's just crazy.

If that is what you believe,

there is no point in saying more.

I'm sorry. It's just hard

for me to swallow.

Tell me, what are

these bands of the underworld?

Five were fashioned

for the Mandarin

as conduits to the afterlife.

Upon his death,

four were stolen by monks

who sacrificed

their lives to hide them.

They were the first Jade Dragons.

These are the locations

of those bands.

So once these things are found,
