The four started off, when Torunn turned around and noticed James wasn't moving. "James come on!" she called. He didn't answer. "James…" she repeated. Still no answer.
Aisha, Azari and Pym kept going. They pasted a door and then found themselves on a bridge high above a workplace, smoke pouring out all around. "Just relax, old friend." The voice made them freeze. They looked over the railing, where they saw Tony, with his friend the Vision lying on a table, something above him scanning him. "I need to see how extensive the damage is." Tony explained. The Vision's stomach opened, to reveal wires and wires. "How did they find you?" Tony asked. "I was accessing the mainframe." The Vision explained. Azari and Pym kneeled down below the railing. Aisha didn't move. Azari pulled on her jean cuff and motioned for her to duck. She reluctantly did so. "Ew." Pym stated, looking at the Vision. "Robot guts." "You're lucky you don't have heightened senses." Aisha countered, holding her nose with her fingers. "It smells like crap in here."
"All of Europe has been subjugated by the machine forces since my last report." The Vision said as the machine above him continued to scan. Tony typed on a keyboard next to him. "Drones are gathering on the pacific rim and eastern Europe." The Vision continued, the scanner now folding back and Tony walking over to get a piece of machinery. Tony put on his goggles and got a weird looking tool and turned it on. "The invasion of Asia will soon commence." The Vision finished. "Wha HUH?!" Aisha gasped, holding herself in a hug. "They're invading me! Crap, I didn't even know it!" "Not you!" Azari snapped. "The continent."
Tony walked over to the Vision. "In thirteen years…" he replied, the tool in his hand shooting a blue fire into the Vision's stomach. "He's conquered half the planet." "Also," The Vision added. "Clint Barton's son…is alive." "What?" Tony asked, the tool ceasing fire. "Hey, who's Clint Barton?" Azari asked. Aisha shrugged. "Maybe he was the knight!" Pym guessed, getting excited. "Or-or the pixie!" "The pixie was your mom, idiot." Azari said, slapping Pym. Aisha giggled. "Maybe he was the knight." Pym concluded, turning back to face Tony. "Hey…where's Torunn?" Aisha asked, looking around. "And James? Anyone wonder about them this entire time? No…." Aisha answered her own question. "You want to go find them?" Azari asked. Aisha stood up and walked back through the door she came.
Torunn stood behind James, who was still looking at his father's robot. "James, we should go." She said. "What if it has my dad's voice?" James asked. "Or…if it's programmed to be like him? Or has his memories? Do you think he can hear me?" Torunn didn't answer, she just looked down. Aisha raced in. "Hey." She called. "Tony's tearing apart the Vision and it looks real weird wanna come check it out?" The two didn't answer her. "Wait…oh." Aisha said, calmly walking over. "Sentimental moment. I get it." She stood next to Torunn with her hands in her pockets. "How long's this supposed to last?" "Um…dad? Can you hear me?" James asked as the girls walked up to him. "Hello? Are you awake?" "James, it's not your dad, it's a robot." Torunn explained, placing her hand on James's shoulder. James walked forward, his foot halfway on the circle the robot was standing on. "Sir? Captain America?" James asked. "Are you um…online?"
The robot's eyes flashed yellow.
James gasped and jumped back, the girl's eyes widened. "Oh, you done did it now." Aisha stated. "Iron Avenger. Designation: Captain America, now online." The robot's mouth lit up white with every word. "Accessing mission database. Mission Acquired." The robot started to march forward and the kids moved out of the way. "Destruction of A.I threat. Designation: Ultron. Commencing." "Ultron?" Torunn asked. "Aw snap." Aisha muttered. When the robot of Captain America reached the far end of the circle, it raised its hand in the air. "Iron Avengers! Assemble!"
The other robots started to follow their leader right down the hall opposite the one Azari, Pym and Aisha had gone down minutes ago. "Whoa! Wait!" James called. The loud sound of gears turning made them shutter, and then turned around to the robot of Giant Man walking towards the right. "Stop!" James yelled. The robots kept moving. Aisha ran after them, James on her heels. James ran up to his father, and Aisha ran up to her's. "You see what James did there?" she asked. "Yeah, he screwed up. Big time. Now we're all in trouble thanks to HIM!" she directed the last part to her brother, who was walking in front of the robots. "Uh…stand down! Stop!" he pulled on Captain America's arm. "Dad!" James fell to the ground, the robots continuing to walk. Aisha ran to him. "You know." She said, helping him up. "If you used 'online' to turn them on, wouldn't the opposite turn them off? I mean, come on I know you're not that stupid!"
But since Aisha said it, James didn't listen.
The Iron Avengers walked into another room, and then stood on their designated places on the thin landing strip. Torunn, James, and Aisha ran up to them. The three gasped. They could hear a siren beeping and the ceiling above them split open to reveal a dark sky. The part of the floor the kids were standing on slid back to the doorway, because the Iron Avengers were about to take off.
Tony, meanwhile, was still working on the Vision. Pym leaned down a bit too far, and then fell off the bridge. He let out a scream before Azari quickly grabbed his hand. "Thanks…" Pym stated. Tony froze and looked up, just as Azari helped Pym back onto the bridge. "Azari! Pym!" he called. The two turned around. "What are you two doing down here?"
Meanwhile, the platform the Iron Avengers were standing on twisted to the side, and the Avengers realigned themselves. Blue light pulsed from under their feet, and first Captain America shot up and out of the area, leaving a load of smoke and light behind him. The rest of the Avengers followed, coating the room in a blanket of smoke.
The things in Tony's workshop vibrated, and his computer screen flashed the words IRON AVENGERS LAUNCH. "Iron Avenger's launch sequence initiated." Jocasta's voice rung. Tony snatched off his glasses. "Oh no." he gasped.
The kids watched as the last Avengers flew out of the compound. "I said to tell them offline." Aisha muttered. "Oops." James stated. "Verily." Torunn agreed.
Somewhere off, a figure stood on a huge podium, huge screens showing the earth rotating in a circle around him. The walls were not walls at all, in fact they were actually normal sized screens built up, all flashing different places around the world. "Energy source detection." A voice stated. "Location: Artic Circle. Energy analysis matches fugitive designation: Iron Man." The screens switched, now showing rotation photos of Iron Man. "Finally." The figure growled.
"You said that?" James asked. "Yeah." Aisha agreed. "I said 'If you used 'online' to turn them on, wouldn't the opposite turn them off? I mean, come on I know you're not that stupid'. That's what I said. Right there." "No you didn't." James shook his head. Aisha gave him a blank look. "You were all in 'I must talk to my father' mode; of course you didn't hear me."
Tony typed on the keyboard to his computer. "Jocasta," he ordered. "Send reserve power to long range radar."
Pym zoomed over to him. Azari jumped down from the bridge to join him. "Tony, this was not my idea." He explained. "See, Aisha-" "Boys, grab Vision's head!" Tony said. Azari and Pym looked at each other, and then at the Vision. "Hello Henry." The Vision smiled. "Hello Azari." "His head?" Azari asked. "Boys now!" Tony yelled. The boys went over to vision, and the plates on his chest separated. "Awesome!" Pym smiled, and picked up the Vision's head, which came off easily. "Multiple radar contacts. Designation: Iron Avengers." Jocasta said. The boys walked over to Tony, Pym holding the Vision's head in his hands. "Whoa, what's going on?" Pym asked. "New contact." Jocasta said, and Tony looked back at the screen. There were six red dots all together on the radar screen, and all the way on the other side, was a new red dot. "South orbital trajectory."
The screen zoomed in on the little dot, the picture depilating. "Designation-" Jocasta was interrupted by a voice from the doorway. "Tony!" Tony turned and looked to see Torunn, James and Aisha. "I-I'm sorry." James apologized. "There were these robots and…and they looked just like our parents, and then…" Tony just looked at them, and then turned back to facing the screen. "I…think he knows." Torunn said. "No stuff." Aisha shot.
The Iron Avengers flew across the night sky, with Captain America leading them. There were nearing a large patch of pinkish light on the horizon. Something shot out of it, leaving a trail of smoke. That thing was glowing red, and the Iron Captain America zoomed in on it. The Iron Avengers took their battle stances, and the Iron Giant Man flew up higher, to see whatever it was. But the thing moved fast. It crashed right through the head of the Iron Giant Man, and flew out with no problem.
"We're leaving." Tony ordered. "What do you mean leaving?" Aisha asked. "Leaving? As in leaving here?" Pym asked. "But…but…we're never left here!" Tony just sighed.
The thing shoved its hand into the back of the Iron Black Widow, red lines now basically covering the entire robot. Its eyes suddenly went from yellow, to an evil red.
"Get to the control center." Tony ordered, walking away from the computer, only to go to another one. "We don't have much time. Vision will explain." "Vision?" James asked. "What about you?" "Alert." Jocasta said. "Iron Widow, offline." She stated. Tony groaned. "You have to get to the control center!" he ordered.
In minutes the kids were back outside, running for the control center. "Iron Wolverine, offline." Jocasta's voice rang over the speakers. Aisha stopped walking. "We shouldn't have left him! We could fight whatever's coming!" she snapped. Azari jumped over, landing like a cat. "He told us to!" he said. "We have to get to the control center, that's what he said." "Iron Panther: Offline." Jocasta stated just as the kids continued to run. "Iron Thor, offline." "Those robots? The Iron Avengers?" James asked. "Why are they going offline?" "The enemy has developed the ability to infect machinery." The Vision explained. "Corrupting and overriding it's programming with its own. There is a high probably that the Iron Avengers have been compromised." "Iron Captain America, offline." "He was the last of them." Vision explained and the group stopped running. "Ultron will be coming for us now." "WHAT?!" Aisha screamed. "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Wait." Pym turned Vision's head to look at him. "Ultron? Really? Ultron is coming? Here?!"
There was a loud boom. The kids turned and looked at the sky. The there was an explosion in the sky. The sky was now lined with beehive like lines. Pieces of debris flew towards them at rocket speed. Torunn grabbed James and Aisha in one hand and Pym and Azari in the other and flew out of the way as the pieces came crashing towards them. She tripped, and the group fell and landed in the sand, the pieces still coming down.
When they awoke, they saw fires all around them and debris coating the ground, little speckles of ash falling down. The beehive like spots turned black in the sky, and there was a hole in the middle of the dome. Red lights flashed on and sirens went. The group sat up, just as a red ball descended from the hole in the dome. Aisha outstretched her claws and began to growl. That red light, turned out to be the one they feared: Ultron.
