New Avengers (2010 series) #25

In Avengers Vs X-Men #6 Lei Kung the Thunderer in the mystical city of K'un-Lun consulted an ancient book about an Iron Fist that fought the Phoenix Force. Now we'll learn some of what was in the book.

A red-haired teenage girl stands with Yu-Ti, the August Personage In Jade, as the Phoenix Force approaches Earth. She unleashes an opposing Dragon Spirit and the 2 contend with each other until they merge and the girl stands in control of both, but with a hint of darkness.

Yu-Ti awakes from this prophetic dream in his bed in K'un-Lun hundreds of years ago. It transpires that he's been having this dream frequently. He writes down his thoughts and then breaks with tradition by going out alone amongst his people looking for the red-haired girl. He watches the Thunderer training students in martial arts then asks Lei Kung if he knows of such a girl, but he doesn't. He consults the scrying pool of Bo-Ling which shows him the PF coming from the cosmos, but it can tell him nothing of the girl he seeks.

That night he has the dream again, but this time the girl emerges as a beacon of hope. Again he walks among the people without Lei Kung or his guards, ignoring the Thunderer's protests. But Lei Kung accompanies him and this time they see a flash of red hair by the docks. Yu-Ti asks her name but her mother says she doesn't or can't speak. The girl is sullen but her mother says her name is Fongji which means Firebird. Yu-Ti ventures that the unusual hair and Caucasian complexion mean that her father is from the outside world, and she was conceived during the last time K'un-Lun was in contact with the Earthly plane.

Yu-Ti says that Fongji must come with him to the temple to be trained by the Thunderer. He tells Lei Kung that she will be the next Iron Fist. The Thunderer points out that they haven't had an IF for 75 years, but Yu-Ti says now they're going to need 1.

And today the current Lei Kung is reading this in the presence of the current Yu-Ti. The August Personage tells him that he must go to Earth and tell the current Iron Fist (Danny Rand) what he needs to do. If they fail then Earth will fall bringing K'un-Lun down with it.
