Chapter 3
Back in Tony's universe Vision and the S.H.I.E.L.D technicians were studying the portal Tony vanished through when Captain America and Fury himself walked in. "So what do we have? Just where did Stark go, and how did he get the resources to make this?" asked Fury but instead of the technicians answering Vision responded, "It appears that Mr. Stark didn't create this device." Fury blinked his one eye twice then said, "Explain." Vision turned to Fury and said, "I recognize the code. That code was only created by Ultron, who we all believed to be deleted from existence." Fury yelled, "Damn it!" and Cap ordered, "Find Stark then tell the rest of the Avengers. He needs our help to fight Ultron. He can't do this alone." Fury then looked at Cap and said, "No. We need you here. War Machine will go." Meanwhile, Master Chief was carrying Tony as they walked to the rendezvous point Commander Palmer sent them. Commander Palmer waited impatiently for ten hours then saw the Buck, and the Chief who was carrying something in his right arm. "What is the chief carrying?" asked Roland who looked through her Helmet Cam. Palmer instead said, "Have Captain Lasky send a pelican." Roland grumbled as he did as Palmer asked.
Rhodey popped out of the portal and saw an encampment not too far from him. He zoomed in and saw people in strange armor then looked towards what they were staring at then narrowed his eyes before using his afterburners to get to Tony. Buck looked to the left absent mindedly then saw something rocketing towards them so he tackled Chief to the ground and the hostile passed them by few inches. Chief looked at the newcomer then said, "You look like Stark. Identify yourself now!" The man in metal said, "I'm the one that's going to make you pay for attacking my friend." Before he could attack Buck cut in and said, "Whoa there. We didn't attack him. His suit only ran out of power while we were fighting some prometheans. We didn't attack him at all." Rhodey landed on the ground and said, "If you're not telling the truth I'll let Ultron take over whenever or wherever we are." He slowly walked towards Tony then transferred some power to Tony's suit, and as soon as he had some power Tony said, "Friday. Let me out." then the armor slid bits of it till Tony dropped out. Rhodey held out a hand and Tony used the hand as leverage as he stood up and stretched.
Palmer walked up to them and said, "Chief, Spartan Buck as soon as we arrive on the Infinity report for debriefing. As for you two, surrender your armor for inspection. We can't have civilians with that kind of tech." Tony was about to retort when Rhodey responded, "With all due respect ma'am. I'm not a civilian, and I don't work for you so I don't have to follow your orders. Besides Tony and I have to get home." Palmer was about to yell when Buck said, "Ma'am. These two are either from the past or another universe. Tony came here to find and destroy Ultron which is an evil sentient A.I." Palmer saw the rhythms of his voice and saw that Buck wasn't lying so she turned to Tony and asked, "How dangerous is this Ultron?" Chief immediately sent recording of what Tony said about Ultron then Palmer immediately said, "Okay people. We can't let leave until we destroy Ultron. No more communicating with Infinity." Suddenly, some prometheans appeared and Tony groaned before he got back into his armor and scanned for some power to recharge the armor. He immediately dashed to it before he activated it and transferred the power to his armor. As he did so he thought I really need to put solar panels into the armor. I'm tired of having to recharge it like this. Rhodey used his minigun and killed a few as he used his forearm rifles at the same time.
Buck, Chief, and Palmer both fired their weapons at them getting a few head shots and even broke some necks of the prometheans and Tony joined in blasting here and there. He aimed some rockets at them as well as used some mini missiles. Suddenly, the prometheans stopped attacking and someone said, "Hello Tony. It's been several months since I last saw you." Everyone looked up and saw Ultron floating there before Ultron said, "Kill them my pets." and flew away. Iron Man immediately flew up and assaulted Ultron but was unsuccessful because Ultron blasted him with his finger repulsors and grabbed him by the neck. "I'm disappointed in you Tony. You're usually much smarter. Why did you attack me knowing you would be unsuccessful?" Tony smiled beneath his helmet then asked, "What makes you think I won't be successful?" and he blasted us unibeam through Ultron who said, "This is not…" before they both fell to the ground. As Tony stood up the other four walked over and in Rhodey's case flew. Palmer looked at the robot corpse and said, "You may have just doomed us." Iron Man popped open his faceplate and said, "You can defeat Ultron You have the technology to do so. You just need to insert this into your technology. It'll make sure Ultron can't take over your tech. Good luck, I have to get home." before he grabbed Ultron's body and looked for any readings concerning the portal that leads home.
