The Man with the Iron Fists 2 Page #4

---

I'll meet everyone back

in front of the mines.

Thaddeus.

Brother Kung.

This is not for the

faint at heart.

You will be in pain.

I mean, a lot of pain.

When I lost my legs,

I lost everything,

even my chance to have a family.

Well, I promise you

I'll help you walk again.

I'm not touching anything else.

Cha Pow, increase the fire.

Legs.

Thought I'd lost you.

Father.

You can't get rid

of me that easy.

It's time we stand up

and take back our lives.

Are you ready?

I've been dreaming for

this moment way too long.

Chi is a universal life force,

flowing through all matter,

organic and inorganic,

but when one is able

to control this chi,

he can use it to

activate inanimate objects.

Are you ready?

Gag him.

Okay, come on.

You have my eternal

gratitude, Blacksmith.

Let's get you walking.

You're standing!

Easy. Easy, my friend.

The journey of a thousand miles

starts with a single step.

What is your purpose here?

I am Li Kung,

a simple worker from Yin Silver Mine,

near Tsai Fu Village.

What business have you here?

I believe your sacred water

source is in danger, Abbott.

It's the mine.

What we thought was

a mining operation for silver

turned out to be a mining

operation for your sacred water.

Master Ho is an evil man,

an indiscriminate killer.

He's trying to steal the Golden

Nectar out from under you.

Who is he

to walk along a path where even

the mightiest have failed?

Once, a truly powerful warrior

tried to steal the Golden

Nectar for his evil purposes.

But he was defeated.

Being of royal blood,

we could not kill him.

But we made sure

he was never a threat again.

So now we must join forces

to protect the Golden Nectar.

Leave me alone!

Good.

My chi isn't enough.

You must have patience, Mayor.

These things take time.

We don't have time.

Let him go.

He's right.

We don't have time.

Stop! Look at that!

Look. Do you see that?

What's that light?

The Golden Nectar

has reached the mountain!

One hundred men, to the village.

The rest of you,

follow me to the falls.

Ah! Here you are.

I've been looking

for you everywhere.

And this

should look

familiar to you, slave boy.

You worthless Beetles

are about to get squashed.

Take him!

Kung!

Mayor!

What are you doing?

That is not your mayor!

That is Lord Pi.

You traitor!

Lord Pi!

I spared your life,

but I made sure you will

never walk or fight again.

My legs have returned.

And I will conquer these

lands once and for all.

You have followed

a misguided path, Pi.

Because of your black friend

and the Golden Nectar,

the power of chi has fortified the

way of the Scorpion within me.

Not if I stop you first.

Bring the girl!

Father!

Innocence!

You touch her, I'll kill you!

Not if I kill you first.

You coward!

Pi!

I gave you the Golden Nectar

and I gave you the girls.

I'll take Kung.

He's all yours!

And you are mine.

Innocence!

Innocence.

No!

Thaddeus! Help!

No!

I'm here. It's all right.

It's all right.

Innocence!

She's alive!

Well, brother Kung,

the winds of change are upon you now.

Brother Thaddeus,

if fate indeed is

the master planner,

then may it smile

upon your journey.

And may fate cause

our path to cross again,

brother Kung.

So Cha Pow, he got a new job

and a new set of teeth.

The Abbott and the monks,

they continue to protect

the source of Golden Nectar

with the help of the miners.

Brother Kung,

he became mayor of the village.

He took control of the mining

operations which brought great wealth

and happiness to the

long-suffering people of Tsai Fu.

And me, my journey begins again.

You know, the Chinese say,

"Where there's iron, there's rust."

Yet rust only arrives

when the iron is not in use.

I may not find peace in this strange land,

but I will find usefulness.

You know, it's funny how a man can

be a deposed wretch in one land

and a hero in another.

I guess that's just

the way of the Tao.

So be it.
