Mysteries On Marvel

"Surrender? Who do you think you are?"

With a furious roar, Iron Monger lunged forward, closing the distance to Tony in an instant. A steel-clad fist sent Tony's Mark II flying through the air.

As the suit skidded across the ground, Obadiah pursued relentlessly.

Fueled by rage and humiliation from his battle with Eren, Obadiah unleashed his frustration on Tony. Blow after brutal blow rained down on the Mark II armor, overwhelming Tony with a barrage of strikes.

Tony managed to blast Iron Monger back momentarily with a repulsor shot, giving himself some breathing room.

But no sooner had he recovered than a barrage of missiles launched from Iron Monger's frame, forcing Tony to dodge frantically.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions lit up the night, filling the air with smoke and debris.

Inside the Mark II, Tony's expression grew grim.

"How many weapons does this guy have?"

While the Mark II clearly had superior mobility and performance, there was a problem.

Tony had never designed the suit as a full-blown war machine. It lacked the heavy arsenal necessary to counter the enhanced armor and weaponry of Iron Monger.

Bang!

A massive punch sent Tony crashing into the ground again.

The Mark II now sported numerous dents and scorches, while Iron Monger's thick armor absorbed the punishment with little visible damage.

This couldn't go on.

Struggling to his feet, Tony activated the arc reactor in his chest. A charged energy beam blasted from the reactor, sending Iron Monger flying backward.

"Now it's my turn!"

Capitalizing on his suit's agility, Tony maneuvered behind Iron Monger. Grabbing onto its neck, he tore off a thick piece of armor.

Before he could dismantle more components, Obadiah roared in fury.

"Damn it!"

Iron Monger's massive hands grabbed Tony, slamming him to the ground with bone-rattling force.

Before Tony could react, Iron Monger's colossal foot came down toward his chest.

Tony fired his repulsor at point-blank range.

Boom!

The energy blast disrupted Iron Monger's balance, toppling the mech. Tony seized the opportunity to escape, taking to the skies.

Hovering above, Tony stared down at the smoking Iron Monger, his face dark with frustration.

"Damn it, why was that clown able to beat you into that sorry state, but when it's my turn, you suddenly turn into a monster?"

"Do I look weaker? Easier to bully?"

Tony, of course, would never admit to being weaker.

Determined to finish this, he issued a command to J.A.R.V.I.S.

"J.A.R.V.I.S., channel fifty percent of energy. Target the reactor core in his chest."

"Understood, sir," J.A.R.V.I.S. replied.

As energy gathered, the arc reactor on Tony's chest glowed brighter and brighter, emitting an aura of destruction so intense it even made Obadiah, still recovering, feel a pang of dread.

Without hesitation, Obadiah launched every remaining missile at Tony.

At the same time, Tony unleashed a massive energy beam from his arc reactor.

Boom!

The beam collided with the missiles mid-air, triggering a devastating explosion.

The resulting shockwave radiated outward, obliterating everything in its path. Vehicles were torn apart, debris was flung through the air like bullets, and the asphalt cracked and peeled away to expose the road's foundation.

The deafening explosion drew immediate attention.

Units from the NYPD, FBI, and Homeland Security scrambled to the scene. Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s backup team, already en route following Coulson's distress call, diverted straight to the blast zone.

Before the dust even settled, five modified S.H.I.E.L.D. armored vehicles arrived on the scene.

Heavy weapons were deployed immediately. Agents armed with rocket launchers took aim at the smoky epicenter of the explosion. A vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun was positioned, its barrel pointed at the same spot.

"Go, go, go!"

Heavily armed agents disembarked, spreading out cautiously to surround the area.

Half a minute later, as the dust cleared, the scene came into view.

In the middle of what used to be a smooth road lay a massive crater several meters in diameter, splitting the street in two. The surrounding asphalt had been stripped away, exposing the underlying foundation.

Near the crater, two steel-clad figures lay motionless—one large, one small.

Just as the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents approached, the smaller, red-and-gold figure stirred.

"Damn it…" Tony groaned, climbing to his feet and muttering angrily.

"It's that mind attack again. I'm sure now—that clown-masked lunatic is definitely working with Eren."

"Unbelievable. We're supposed to be on the same side, and that maniac still knocked me out. What the hell?"

"J.A.R.V.I.S., record the data from when I was hit by the psychic attack. One day, I'm going to figure out how to counter it—and then I'll beat both of them senseless."
