"Again! Again, you two fail me!" Hammer yelled as he addressed his two henchmen in his office. "I ask you to use my new robots and your exo-skeletons to destroy Tony Stark and instead you bring back this...this THING!" Hammer said trying to find a way to describe Krystal whose legs and hands were bound with a metallic rope.

"For your information, I am a vixen! Thank you very much." Krystal said hoping to get on Hammer's nerves.

"Save your breath, missy. Each one may be your last!" Hammer threatened as Krystal smirked. She liked to get on the bad guy's nerves.

But before anyone in the room could say another word, there was a huge explosion. Hammer raced to the window and looked outside to see Iron Man in his new armor hovering right by the window.

"Iron Man! Get him you idiots!" Hammer yelled to Wolf and Whiplash who immediately dashed for their exo-skeletons.

"If Iron Man is here, Fox can't be too far behind! You take care of the walked tin can! Fox is mine!" Wolf said sternly to Whiplash as they activated their exo-skeletons.

"Whatever. Just don't get in my way, furball." Whiplash retorted.

Within seconds, the two villains flew out into the cool night air and activated their scanners in hopes of picking up any signs of Iron Man or Fox's Arwing. But their efforts were for naught as Iron Man swiftly knocked Whiplash to the ground.

"Impossible! My scanners should have picked you up!" Whiplash yelled in confusion.

"Sorry if I forgot to tell you, Scarlotti. But this new armor isn't just designed to match your own, it also comes equipped with the necessary tech to jam your scanner." Tony said as Whiplash got up and tried use his whips to continue fighting.

But once again, Tony was just too quick as he grabbed a hold of Whiplash's first and then second whip and used them to throw the assassin into Hammer's factory.

Meanwhile, Fox had used Iron Man's distraction to sneak into Hammer's facility and managed to find Krystal in Hammer's office. Luckily for him, Hammer had abandoned it for a more secure hiding place.

"Fox!" Krystal said happily as he crept into the room with his blaster set to lethal.

"I'll have you untied in a second." Fox said as he began to cut through the metal ropes using the blaster's lowest setting.

But before he could finish cutting, Wolf crashed through the office wall, grabbed Fox by the tail, and flung him right through the window and to the ground below.

As he struggled to get up, Fox felt some things in his body break. "Oh, I'm going to feel that in the morning." Fox thought to himself as he tried to prepare himself for Wolf's next attack. He still wasn't completely healed from his previous encounter with the armor-powered Wolf, but he was willing to risk everything for Krystal's sake.

Wolf landed in front of him and grabbed him by his red scarf. "You know Fox, this was a lot of fun but all good things must come to an end. Now I'm more powerful than you and not even your flying skills would be able to save you." Wolf said as Fox struggled to keep conscious. He had to stop Wolf. He had to help Tony stop Hammer. He had to rescue Krystal.

But just as Wolf was about finish him off, a sudden blast hit Wolf from behind causing him to lose his balance a little and drop Fox.

Fox looked up to see Jim Rhodes holding a large plasma canon and smiling a little. "That was for the ambush at the construction site." Rhodes said.

"Thanks." Fox said weakly as he turned to face Wolf again.

"Need anymore help?" Rhodes said preparing to fire the weapon again as Wolf turned and began to growl at both of them.

"No, I think I've got a pretty good chance now." Fox said with a little chuckle.

"Lots of luck." Rhodes said as he backed off.

Wolf then charged at Fox who took a huge and painful leap into the air and landed on Wolf's back.

"Sorry Wolf, I'm pulling the plug on this party!" Fox said as he reached into an exposed part of Wolf's exo-skeleton and ripped out a bunch of wires.

"No!" Wolf protested as he tried to shake Fox off, but to no avail as the exo-skeleton powered down and the armor landed face flat, trapping Wolf inside.

"I'll get you for this, McCloud!" Wolf threatened as he tried to break out.

"Oh, I'm shaking in my boots." Fox sarcastically said as he pretended to be afraid of his once great enemy.

A few seconds later, both Tony and Rhodes found Fox heading back towards Hammer's building.

"How did you do with Wolf?" Tony asked as he landed in front of his wounded comrade.

"Down for the count. What about Whiplash and Hammer?" Fox asked.

"The same as Wolf for Whiplash. The police are already on their way. Hammer, however, is still in that factory somewhere." Rhodes said as he pointed towards Hammer's factory.

Just then, an entire army of Hammer's robots came flying out from the factory and landed in front of Tony, Rhodes, and Fox. The last person to exit the factory was Hammer holding his controller.

"Give it up, Hammer. The police are on their way over and we've got both Wolf and Whiplash. It's over for you." Tony said.

"You seem to be mistaken, Iron Man. As I recall, it was you three, Wolf, and Whiplash I caught trespassing on my property. But when you refused to leave, I resulted to brute force. How sad that Tony Stark should result to having his own people invade my territory just to get me out of the race to buy his company." Hammer said as he explained his new plan.

"It's your words against our's, Hammer." Rhodes said as he aimed his plasma canon at the robots.

"Afraid not, Colonel. Because in a matter of minutes, you won't have any words left." Hammer said fiendishly as he activated the robots and they prepared to charge.

"Tony! We're not in any condition to fight these things now! Whiplash and Wolf were trouble enough! We got to retreat!" Rhodes whispered loudly to Tony who stood his ground with Fox.

"Kill them all!" Hammer commanded his robots. But just then, the robots suddenly shutoff and fell to the ground.

"W...what happened?" Hammer asked as he tried to turn them back on with his controller. But try as he might, the robots didn't move or even make a sound.

"N...no! This can't be happening! They were my masterpiece!" Hammer said angrily as he threw the controller to the ground.

"You did this!" Hammer yelled as he pointed to Fox. "You! You're friends with that Wolf and female fox in my office, aren't you?" Hammer yelled as he ran up to Fox and grabbed him by the throat. "TELL ME HOW TO RE-ACTIVATE THE ROBOTS OR YOU WILL NEVER SEE YOUR LADY FRIEND AGAIN!" Hammer screamed as he began to choke Fox.

Before Tony or Rhodes could do anything to help, Fox managed to grab Hammer's frail arm and tossed the old man onto his backside.

"Oh! Ow!" Hammer announced in pain while Fox looked straight down into the old tycoon's eyes with pure disgust and anger.

"Listen you! You touch my girlfriend or try to hurt me or Tony Stark or any of his friends again, and I'll come back and make you eat Rhodes' plasma canon! Got it!" Fox yelled in anger as the old man started to shake in fear.

"Yes! Yes! I got it! Please, don't hurt me!" Hammer said as he put his arms in front of his face in fear.

"Good. I'm glad we understood each other." Fox said as he, Iron Man, and Rhodes headed into Hammer's office to get Krystal while the police arrived.
