Standing in the now destroyed city of K'un-Lun, Davos waited for his enemy to arrive. A year ago Davos' sister Sparrow stole the molten heart of the dragon Shou-Lao after he sought to steal the dragon's power for himself. Davos had trained his whole life to wield the mighty chi of the immortal dragon but with only one fist successfully submerged within the sacred container he now sought to get the other half of what was rightfully his. Unable to pursue his sister to Earth after her quick get away, slipping through the portal that only opened once a year, Davos was forced to watch and manipulate those on the other side to get his birthright. This wouldn't have been so bad had it not been for that McDojo rich-boy [i]cockroach[/i] Danny Rand.

Like a mosquito Danny Rand bumbled his way into Davos' sister's life and 'unintentionally' claimed the other half of the Iron Fist. Despite Danny's overall inexperience, he and Sparrow had managed to fend off everything he threw their way while retracing the steps of the last Iron Fist and getting stronger himself. Now things were going to come to a head. With some training, research and shear force of will Davos had managed to rip Sparrow back to K'un-Lun as bait to lure the disillusioned hero Danny Rand straight to him.

The still air slowly began to pick up it's pace as the already gray sky darkened and became just that much more sinister, a energy that Davos hadn't felt in 364 days and 11 hours permeated the air like a subtle static charge before lightning strikes. And then just like lightning... he struck.

Unrefined but emboldened by the chi of a dragon, Danny's fist broke through the threshold between worlds and flew at Davos' head. Davos expected some of the banter Danny seemed to love but none the less the more skilled fighter managed to leap tot he side and out of harms way. Space seemed to warp in on itself as Danny fully arrived, quickly recover from his miss and now standing in short, bobbing stance. 

[color=gold]"Never thought I'd get to hit you in person but [i]boy[/i] am I going to enjoy this. First things first though; where's Sparrow?"[/color]

There it was. An unsuccessful sucker punch followed up by some boasting perfectly summed up this weightless shadow of the mighty Iron Fist Moniker. Davos, like he had thousands of times before, got into a long and sturdy stance, keeping his closed fists close to his waist for the moment. Much less flashy than Danny's Hollywood-style kung-phooey, Davos knew he could take the [url=https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/990/288/59b.jpg]imposter[/url] using his own take on the K'un-Lun style.

[color=silver]"You don't need to worry about that now Danny Rand. Right now all you need to worry about is keeping that arm of yours. Now are you done talking or are you ready to fight?"[/color]

[color=gold]"Oh let's [i]dance[/i] Silver Salamander."[/color]

With another leap, Danny threw a Chi empowered fist Davos' way. With no element of surprise this time, Davos' was able to deflect the blow much easier and follow it up with an elbow to the head, knocking Danny to the ground. A quick stomp followed but Danny managed to weasel away and spring back to his feet. Staring each other down once more, Danny wiped the blood from his now crimson nose as both combatants waited for the other to strike.

Once more Danny took the lead with a quick, powered jab that seemed especially sloppy to Davos though the reason became clear as the half-assed punch drew the attention while the other, unpowered fist of Danny Rand shot up to strike Davos in the cheek. Keeping up the moment, Danny threw jab after jab and pushed back the still reeling Davos who was slow to get his wits back. Davos was no stranger to physical pain but the shock and blow to his ego over being hit by the American buffoon had his focus shattered, if only for a moment. Soon Danny's blows stopped hitting their marks as Davos' arms swiped them away and his forward momentum slowed to a stall. Soon Davos stood enraged, blocking jab after jab until finally thrusting an open palm with great force into Rand's chest, knocking him back and off balance. With a single follow up blow, Davos head-butted Rand to the ground, rage getting the better of him.

[color=silver]"You think just because you have a little bit of power and a basic grasp of martial arts, that you can beat me? I have spent my [i]life[/i] training for this. I was going to be K'un-Lun's stalwart defender but you and that [i]girl[/i] Sparrow had to meddle. A lifetime of training for this role and now I'm degraded to playing a game of tag with a talentless hack who thought who was worthy of the Iron Fist just because he learned a little history!"[/color] Davos yelled at the dazed Danny Rand.

[color=gold]"Hack... maybe... but talentless?"[/color] Danny said through tired breathes as his fist started to glow [color=gold]"that's crossing the li-!"[/color]

Danny's perfectly channeled chi strike, a skill that had alluded him his whole journey until now, had been blocked in the palm of Davos' own powered up hand.

[color=silver]"No triumphent comeback this time Danny Rand."[/color] Davos commented before his hand twisted into an odd shape. The gesture on it's own was odd but what happened next was of real concern to Danny. Whatever strength that Danny had left was being drained from him, not just the chi of his Iron Fist but also his own life force, all of it flowing into Davos.

Danny couldn't even muster banter or a last word before Davos finished the process, leaving the body of Danny Randto slump to the ground. Davos looked to his once mundane right arm as it began to shimmer and glow like his left. All that training and now he had the power to really put it use! With the power of a dragon within him all Davos could feel was... regret. But not his. 

The K'un-Lun resident knew he should feel good, after all he now had the power to conquer all 7 of the Heavenly cities in for his home but his once solid goals now felt like they were being shown to him in a new light. Probing his mind and spirit Danny found the source to be the Chi of the bombastic Danny Rand. Some part of him was now a part of Davos, wether he liked it or not the once ruthless warrior had a spiritual hitchhiker. Danny was dead, his body was right there before Davos but his memories, values and experiences now lived within Davos and wether he liked it or not Davos was a changed man. The Iron Fist stood solemnly over the body of Danny Rand for what felt like an eternity as a clam internal struggle took place within him.
