Narrator (Soothsayer): Long ago, in ancient China, the peacocks ruled over Gongmen City. They brought great joy and prosperity to the city, for they had invented... fireworks. But their son, Lord Shen, saw darker power in the fireworks. What had brought color and joy could also bring darkness and destruction. Shen's troubled parents consulted a soothsayer.  She foretold that if Shen continued down this dark path, he would be defeated by two warriors: One of black and white, and the other blue. The young lord set out to change his fate, but what he did next... only sealed it.  Shen returned to his parents full of pride, but in their faces, he only saw horror.  He was banished from the city forever. But Shen swore revenge: someday, he would return, and all of China would bow at his feet.

[In a foundry, high in the mountains, under a dark, cloudy sky, packs of wolves were working in the factory, heaving pounding, and burning metal. Some wolves used molten copper to assist in their progress.  Each wolf was working for hours on end, until one wolf, a large soldier with one eye, noticed that the pack was out of metal. He jumps to a higher platform in the foundry jumps over to Shen and bows.]

Boss Wolf: It's almost done, Lord Shen, but we've run out of metal.

[A tall dark figure slowly appeared from the darkness and stood over the army.]

Lord Shen: Search the farthest villages. Find more metal! China will be mine.
