Synopsis for "Eyes of the Dragon, Part 1 of 5"
Shang-Chi wakes up in the middle of the night to find himself under attack by ninjas of the Hai-Dai, a celestial order that once served his father, Fu Manchu, who is suppose to be dead. Then out of nowhere, the Prince of Orphans appear to assist him. As soon as the Hai-Dai are all killed, the Prince makes a call to Steve Rogers to report his success in protecting Shang.
Flashing back to two days ago, as Sharon Carter is massaging Steve Rogers' back to alleviate the pain he gained from training with Valkyrie, they discuss their mysterious dragon-symbolled foe. The latter then receives as call from the Prince, who reports about a third raid on a Shanghai temple, rumored to be perpetrated by the Hai-Dai, searching for the Eyes of the Dragon. Beast researches that the Eyes are two objects that are said to bring luck to the owner and can bring back the dead. Rogers then realizes that Shang is in grave danger.
In the present, above Hong Kong, Rogers, Shang and Black Widow infiltrate a building where the Eyes are suppose to be. Unfortunately, they are fakes, as Hai-Dai show up.
Meanwhile, deep in the Altai mountains, it is revealed that Aloysius Thorndrake has brought Fu Manchu back to life, at least partially, as Shadow Council agents are digging for the Eyes. Max Fury then reports that they have found the eyes. They then plan on moving to the next phase of the plan: to trap Shang and use him to restore his father to life.
