In this issue, Connor actually takes down a dragon. The wrong dragon. But still . . . it's a dragon. This Zhao guy has brought this dragon back to life. Supposedly for the good of his country, China. But the good comes when the dragon is slayed. It has to be by the best archer, and it has to be with the magic bow and arrow. That's where Connor comes in. He's won the contest, to find the best archer, so now the task falls on his shoulders. First he has to determine the right spot to hit it. Second he has to stop running long enough to get his footing and aim. And finally he has to try to avoid as much collateral damage as possible. Including the thousands of civilians that are running the streets directly in his and the dragon's path. During all this, Zhao discovers that the dragon that's chasing Connor is not the original. His armor and plating is different. So he surmises that the original must actually have been killed. This doesn't change his plans drastically. What changes them more is that Connor was supposed to have slain the dragon at the base of his towers, but through the chase he has led it very far away. So he has to adapt. Also Connor can't finish the task without Eddy's help. Shado gives him a helping nudge too. Anyways, Connor's first shot hits, but bounces off the armor. Then Eddy comes up, and with a rocket launcher puts a chink in that armor. Shado then recovers Connor's arrow and sends it back to him. Connor then shoots for the damaged spot and kills the dragon. The problem now, as Shado puts it, "You only know the portion of the legend that you were told. Zhao is without honor. And the death of the dragon in only the beginning of the story."
