Episode 3: Iron Man and Scarlet Witch Return
Previously on Marvel DISK Wars: The Avengers...
Chris: It all began with these high-tech DISKs. Stark International threw a big bash to celebrate the unveiling. The party got crashed by Loki and a bunch of supervillains. They're after something called the 'installer'. It's ultra important but don't ask me why. Akira promised his dad he'd keep it from falling into the wrong hands. Good luck with that. Meanwhile, Iron Man and the others are helpless to stop these goons 'cause they took Ms. Pepper Potts and Dr. Jamie Gonzales hostage.
Loki: It must pain you to surrender.
Captain America: Pain? Pain in the flesh, maybe. That will pass. But your pain will never go away. You tried to crush in others what your dark heart is incapable of feeling. Pride. Love. Loki, mark my words! One day, you will get the punishment you deserve!
Loki: From whom, I wonder? Because as of today, you won't be around to punish anyone.
Captain America: Those who are brave enough to do the right thing. No matter what the odds!
Chris: Okay, these dudes can stand around, talking all day but somebody's gotta do something. And it looks like that somebody's gonna have to be us.
Akira, Sandra, Hikaru, Edward and Jessica were hiding behind a bunch of metal containers.
They saw King Cobra holding Ms. Pepper and Professor Gonzales as hostage.
King Cobra smirked, "How's the view down there? Hang in there, you two. Won't be much longer now."
Akira runs up to him.
"Let Ms. Potts and Dr. Gonzales go and I'll give you what you want!" Akira said.
"What are talking about?" King Cobra asked.
"I'll trade it for them! I got what you want right here!" Akira said, showing the case.
"Ah, so that's the biocode installer, is it? You want to make a trade? Real cute, kid. Now, tell me. Why would I need to make a deal with the likes of you?" King Cobra asked as he started walking towards Akira.
Akira backed away and remembered what his brother said back at the stairs.
Flashback - a few minutes ago
At the stairs, Akira, Sandra, Jessica, and Edward are listening to Hikaru while Chris watches them from a safe distance
"I don't know what this thing is exactly but whatever it is, those guys want it bad. And that makes it the perfect bait." Hikaru said.
"You really should've thought this through a little better, kid." King Cobra hissed as he approached Akira.
'That's it. Keep coming.' Akira thought as King Cobra is now a few meters in front of him.
"Okay, now!" Akira shouted as he ran away.
Sandra, Hikaru, Edward, and Jessica tried to push the large box to fall off, but it was too heavy.
"Come on, guys! Put some muscle into it!" Jessica said.
"I'm trying!" Sandra exclaimed.
"No one has ever actually asked me to use muscles before." Edward replied.
"Well, you get an 'A' for effort." King Cobra chuckled, before approaching Akira threateningly, "But effort's only a small part of your final pain!"
He then aimed four bullets at Akira, causing him, Sandra, Hikaru, Edward, and Jessica to gasp.
"Sorry, kid. You fail!" King Cobra exclaimed.
Just before he can finish off Akira, Chris arrived driving a forklift.
"Yeah, I know! I'm driving without a license and I don't know where the brakes are but this is an emergency! Hey! Guys, you might wanna get out of the way!" He shouted.
The five kids quickly got out of the way and the containers fall on King Cobra.
Below them, the Avengers and Loki noticed and heard the crash.
Loki asked asked, "Now what is it?"
Akira and the rest went up to Chris.
"Thanks, Chris. You came just in time." Akira said.
"Yeah, well, it wasn't for your sake. I couldn't let them-hey! What are we doing?! We gotta save them! Come on!" Chris said.
Akira and Sandra nodded, "Right!"
Sandra and the gang quickly began to pull the ropes that were holding Jamie and Pepper up.
Loki spotted them, "How did they-?!"
"Surprise, Loki!" Captain America broke free and shouted as he punched the god of mischief in the face.
"Here's a surprise for you! D-Secure!" Loki growled and five DISKs went at the top of the heroes and began trapping them into them.
"Iron Man! Scarlet Witch! Wake up!" Captain America shouted, but the two heroes were still unconscious.
Meanwhile, the six kids continued to pull the rope to bring Jamie and Ms. Pepper up.
"Hang in there, Ms. Pepper! You too, Dad!" Sandra shouted.
"Fools!" King Cobra growled, slithering out of the metal containers. "Did you actually think that would stop King Cobra?!"
The six kids gasped.
"Yeah, we actually did!" Akira said nervously.
As Iron Man and Scarlet Witch are slowly being transported, Captain America yelled, "Hurry!"
At Captain America's words, Iron Man and Scarlet Witch escaped from their trap and headed to help the six kids.
"Where's Iron Man?!" Akira yelled.
"He's coming!" "And Scarlet Witch is with him!" Pepper and Jamie exclaimed, seeing Iron Man and Scarlet Witch coming her way.
"Sir, after you rescue Ms. Potts and Dr. Gonzales, I suggest-" J.A.R.V.I.S. said before Iron Man interrupted.
"They can wait." Iron Man cut in.
"Tony! Wanda!" Pepper exclaimed, seeing Iron Man and Scarlet Witch fly past her and Jamie.
"We'll get to you later, Pepper." Scarlet Witch replied.
Just before King Cobra can hurt them, Scarlet Witch charges right at him.
"Hey, snake in the grass! Eat bolts!" Scarlet Witch shouted as she fires red balls of energy, which sent King Cobra barreling into the metal containers.
"Nice going, Scarlet Witch. Now for Pepper and Jamie." Iron Man said.
"Don't worry, Tony. That's already taken care of." Jamie answered
Iron Man and Scarlet Witch turned around and saw Pepper and Jamie with the six kids.
"Oh, good." Iron Man mused and Pepper pouted in annoyance, "On second thought, maybe I should rescue them first."
"I couldn't agree more." J.A.R.V.I.S. answered.
"Okay, Iron Man. We need to help Captain America and the others?" Scarlet Witch asked.
"Your captain and your friends are the least of your worries, Scarlet Witch."
The two superheroes turned around and saw a man with M.O.D.O.K. and a woman with Enchantress.
"Missed us?" M.O.D.O.K. fired at them.
"Watch out!" Iron Man shouted and fired energy blasts in retaliation.
Once the smoke cleared Pepper, Jamie, and the six kids were on the floor, while Iron Man and Scarlet Witch were beaten up by the blasts. Then, Tim and Angela approached the heroes.
"A biocode installer. Just what we've been looking for." Tim Gilliam smirked evilly, picking up the case.
Akira and Sandra gasped.
"That's not yours. Give that back." Sandra demanded as Angela loomed over her.
"Why should we?" Angela asked devilishly.
Iron Man and Scarlet Witch stood up as M.O.D.O.K. took out his weapons.
"I wouldn't move if I were you. Unless you want to be called Scrap Iron Man and Ash Witch!" M.O.D.O.K. said aiming his weapons at the two heroes.
Iron Man and Scarlet Witch glared at the villain.
Iron Man told J.A.R.V.I.S. to call for reinforcements, but nothing happened.
"Expecting the cavalry to arrive? Well, I wouldn't get your hopes up." Tim said.
"And why is that?" Iron Man asked.
Angela then gazed at the helicarrier.
"Just so you know, they're a bit preoccupied trying to save their own organization. Just a basic fact, is all." Angela said.
"We learned that in the first day of training." Tim continued.
At the helicarrier's cockpit, Nick Fury and Maria Hill were listening to what Tim Gilliam and Angela Anderson said.
"Sir, did you hear that?" Maria began.
"I heard he said 'We learned it.' Which means either this guy is pulling our chain or we're dealing with a rogue S.H.I.E.L.D. agent." Nick continued.
"I have to admit. Very ingenious, these little DISKs of yours, Stark. But really, imprisoning supervillains? That's the best use for them that you, Dr. Akatsuki, and Dr. Gonzales could come up with. What a waste of technology. I'm sure I can do better." Tim smirked, holding an empty disk.
"Give it back! Give it back! That's my dad and Dr. Gonzales'!" Akira said though he couldn't stand up.
"Ah, you mean this. Alright." Tim said, throwing the case in front of Akira.
Akira slowly started crawling to get closer to the case.
"To activate a DISK, you need a special access key called a biocode. That installer is used to implant a biocode onto a person. There used to be six of them, however. Now, M.O.D.O.K.!" Tim shouted.
"Enchantress, you, too!" Angela said.
"A pleasure!" M.O.D.O.K. and Enchantress said and fired two lasers at the case.
"No!" Akira shouted.
The case opened and the biocode was damaged.
Hikaru gasped, "That was the last one!"
"So, I bet you're wondering why Angela and I did that, aren't you?! So you see, my associates and I don't need them anymore. We already have biocodes implanted in us." Tim said.
Akira's and Hikaru's faces are filled with shock while Sandra's face is filled with rage.
How were they going to stop the villains now?
"You monsters!" Sandra snarled at them.
"Dad. I failed. Sorry. I let you down, didn't I, Dad?" Akira said, putting his head down in defeat.
"Snap! All that work for nothing?!" Chris said weakly.
"It's not over yet! There's still Captain America! It's never over while Cap's around!" Edward said.
"Good. You still have hope. That just makes it all look sweeter. If there's one thing I love, it's turning hope to despair." Loki said and showing a blue disk that had Captain America's image in it! "Your precious Captain. He's in here."
Edward's eyes widen, "What is that?"
"I'll show you. D-Secure!" Loki said, trapping King Cobra in a disk.
"D-Secure!" Tim said, trapping M.O.D.O.K. and Whiplash into the two DISKs.
"D-Secure!" Angela said, sending Enchantress back into her own DISK.
The six kids and the two heroes looked at the blue disk in horror.
"N-No way! The Captain's in a DISK too?!" Sandra said in shock.
"No..." Scarlet Witch whispered.
"Precisely, my dear. The Captain and his fellow Avengers, the other heroes, and all the Raft supervillains, are inside these DISKs. My plan's almost complete. Wonderful, isn't it, how well everything's working out? Even you have to be impressed, brother." Loki said smirking while holding a purple DISK that has Thor trapped in it and lots of DISKs appeared around him.
"You're confidence is just as ridiculous as your hat. You haven't gotten all of us! Not yet!" Iron Man said as he stood up and pointing to the sky.
Loki looked behind him, thunder rumbled in the sky, but Thor wasn't there.
Made you look." Iron Man said and Loki glared at him.
"Scepter Blast!" Loki shouted and blasted at Iron Man.
"Iron Man!" Akira and Sandra shouted.
"Oh no!" Scarlet Witch shouted.
"The guardian's got no sense of humor." Iron Man fell on the floor and electricity coming out of his armor made the biocode go on.
"The installer. It moved." Hikaru noticed what happened.
"Lock him away immediately. And his little witch friend, too." Loki said.
"D-Secure!" Tim and Angela said and Iron Man and Scarlet Witch began getting trapped on the DISKs.
The six kids watched in horror.
"What will we do?!" Akira shouted. "What will we do if Iron Man and Scarlet Witch go?!"
"We've got to do something!" Edward said out of desperation.
"Us and what army, kid?!" Chris said.
"Guys, look!" Sandra pointed at the briefcase. "The installer's acting up!"
Then the biocode started creating a beautiful ball of light.
"What... What's going on?" Akira asked in surprise.
"What do you think? Is this a good thing?" Hikaru asked in response
"Or a bad thing?" Chris continued.
Every one of the six attempt to reach out to the light ball when it created six colored light beams. Each beam directed itself to one of them. A red light went on Akira. A pink light went on Sandra. A yellow light went on Jessica. A purple light went on Hikaru. A blue light went on Chris. And finally, a green light went on Edward.
The six kids looked at the lights taking forms of patterns on their bodies.
The green light turned into waves on Edward.
Edward: Do you feel it? What's happening?
The purple light became lightning on Hikaru.
Hikaru: I don't know. It's strange.
The blue light took the form of flames on Chris.
Chris: Kinda creepy.
The yellow light turned into vines on Jessica.
Jessica: Kinda pretty.
The pink light became glitter on Sandra.
Sandra: And it feels so warm.
The red light took the form of circuit traces on Akira.
Akira: What is it?
Then the lights disappeared.
"C-Can't fight anymore. Sorry, kids." Iron Man said through grunts as he and Scarlet Witch are now trapped in the former's own creations.
"You may have invented a better mousetrap, Stark, but I never expected for you to be the mouse. The same goes for you, too, Wanda Maximoff." Tim asked, smirking and holding red and pink DISKs that Iron Man and Scarlet Witch were trapped in respectively.
The six kids gasped.
"We're through here. Let's go." Loki said.
However, someone used a web and grabbed the two DISKs and was standing in front of them.
"Mind if I borrow those?" It was Spiderman!
"Hey, this is pretty cool!" Spiderman said, holding the two DISKs.
"It's Spiderman!" Akira and Sandra said happily.
"It would seem that we missed the arachnid!" Loki growled and tried blasting Spiderman with his sceptre.
Then, the watch Akira is wearing starts the beeping. Sandra heard another beep and took out the other watch device from her pocket.
'Good thing I got this one before Crimson Dynamo even got to us.' She sighed as she put on the watch on her wrist.
"The kids got biocodes! Alright! Akira, Sandra catch!" Spiderman shouted and throwing the two DISKs to the two children.
"Got 'em." Akira grabbed the Iron Man DISK and Sandra grabbed the Scarlet Witch DISK.
"Now what should we do them?" Akira started.
"Hold them up high in the air! Akira, say 'Iron Man, D-Smash!' Same for you, too, Sandra but say 'Scarlet Witch, D-Smash!' And throw them on the ground!" Spiderman said.
"You'll never get the chance! NEVER!" Loki growled ready to fire his scepter.
"Remind me to thank the Green Goblin for this." Spiderman said and threw Goblin's bomb to where Loki, Tim, and Angela were standing.
"You're on, Akira and Sandra!" He said.
"Got it!" Sandra said.
The two kids held out their DISKs high and touched behind their DISKs.

ACCEPTED: MATERIALIZING. MAGIC IDENTITY.
"Iron Man." Akira began.
"Scarlet Witch." Sandra continued.
"D-SMASH!" Akira and Sandra shouted together and threw their DISKs on the ground.
Then Iron Man and Scarlet Witch got activated and they materialized.
"It's payback time!/Fear my power!" Iron Man and Scarlet Witch said.
"King Cobra, D-Smash!" Loki said, holding out King Cobra's DISK.
"I don't think so!" Spiderman said, firing webs at Loki and his henchmen.
"Summon the others!" Loki said to Tim and Angela.
"Yes, Loki." the two henchmen agreed.
"No, you don't!" Iron Man shouted as he and Scarlet Witch fired lasers and fire balls at Tim.
"Stop dancing around, you dimwit." Loki sighed.
"If you like dancing, know these two steps." Spiderman said and kicked Loki on the face.
He hit the wall and the DISKs came out.
"The DISKs!" Loki exclaimed.
Akira gasped, "I got this!"
He grabbed Loki to make stop getting the DISKs.
"You fool! You dare!" Loki growled.
"Yeah, I dare." Akira snapped.
"We're not letting you get away with this, Loki!" Sandra charged and use her hat to catch the floating DISKs.
Suddenly, the minute, Akira's, Sandra's, and Loki's wristbands come in proximity to each other, a bright light appeared around them and then the DISKs, including the ones Sandra already caught with her hat, flew away. Spiderman tried to catch a few, but they were out of his grasp. He was too late!
Spiderman tried grabbing the DISKs, but they disappeared.
"We're done here." Loki said as he, Angela, and Tim left. "Let's go."
As the three villains were leaving, Angela asked Loki, "Loki, I think I noticed something familiar with one of those kids nearby. The one with that cowboy hat."
"We'll talk about that some other time, Angela." Loki said.
Then, the bright light grew larger and blinded everyone in the area. A few seconds it was gone.
At the helicarrier...
"What was that?" Nick asked. "What disrupted the signal?"
"Wait, it's coming back on." Maria said as the screen shows the six kids.
"Anyone know what that was?" Akira asked.
"No clue." Sandra answered almost immediately.
"It's complicated. The DISKs are a product of interdimensional space transference technology." Iron Man said as he picked up Pepper while Scarlet Witch helped Jamie up.
"When your wristbands came into contact with Loki's, it created a dimensional oscillation." Scarlet Witch said. "And besides, Iron Man's right. It's quite complex."
"I think what he's trying to say is that the DISKs got sucked into a dimensional wormhole and then came out somewhere on the other side." Spiderman said and Scarlet Witch nodded.
Sandra walk up to him, "So is it all over now?"
Spiderman looked at her, "In a sense. But in another sense, it's just the beginning."
Then a bang was heard in the lab.
Akira gasped, "We were just in there! Wait a minute. Dad's still in there!"
An hour later, S.H.I.E.L.D. planes arrived to bring Chris, Jessica, and Edward home.
Meanwhile, Spiderman, Pepper, Jamie, Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, Hikaru, Akira, and Sandra were in the lab.
"Dad! He couldn't get far on his own!" Hikaru shouted and he and the others were looking around the destroyed lab. "Not with that injured leg."
"Was he sucked into the wormhole?" Akira asked.
"No, the dimensional rift was limited to the immediate vicinity around Loki's wristband, yours, and Sandra's." Iron Man said.
"My guess is that he's been abducted. I'm just praying that Nozomu is alright." Jamie sadly assured.
Akira found the present that his dad gave to him and held it tightly, along with the present Sandra's dad gave to her.
"Don't worry Akira, we'll find him." Sandra said and Akira smiled at her.
"You got some explaining to do, Stark." A voice said.
The seven turned around and saw Nick Fury and Agent Maria Hills in the entrance.
"So, you finally made it, huh, Fury?" Iron Man said. "Did you stop for takeout or what?"
"What a mess. With you around, I'm not surprised." Maria looked around the remnants of the lab.
"Hey, this one's on you, Agent Hill. One of your scientists went rogue. He must've been a sleeper agent on the DISK project from the very beginning." Iron Man said. "But for now, we'll just... skip that. What I wanna know is where is our backup-?"
"We had our own problems to deal with. Our ship is attacked. The enemy snuck aboard the helicarrier, thanks to those wonderful DISKs of yours." Maria said simply and Iron Man glared at her.
"Alright. Alright. Save it for later." Nick Fury said and walk up to Akira and Sandra.
"Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D." He said and shook Akira's hand.
"As in the S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Sandra echoed as Nick nodded.
"We're law enforcement but we do most of our work behind the scenes." Nick said,
Iron Man laughed, "That's right. Way behind. In fact, so far behind that sometimes they're not even."
But then he and Scarlet Witch started glowing.
Scarlet Witch gasped, "Hey, what?"
The two heroes disappeared and went on Akira's and Sandra's watches.
The two kids looked at their watches that had now their DISKs in it.
"What the?" Jamie gasped.
"What gives?" Sandra asked.
"Well, at least that shut him up." Pepper piped up.
"Akira, Sandra, try a D-Smash!" Hikaru said.
Akira and Sandra nodded, "Right!"
ACCEPTED: MATERIALIZING. TECH IDENTITY
ACCEPTED: MATERIALIZING. MAGIC IDENTITY.
"Iron Man." Akira began.
"Scarlet Witch." Sandra continued.
"D-SMASH!" Akira and Sandra shouted together and threw their DISKs on the ground.
However, nothing happened.
"Why isn't it working?" Sandra asked.
"You two installed a biocode." Fury said, looking at Akira's and Sandra's arms that had the biocodes.
Akira and Sandra looked at each other, "What?"
"You two had biocodes installed. We need to run some tests on you." Fury said as Akira and Sandra looked at each other in confusion. "S.H.I.E.L.D. will be looking after you know. There's no need for you two to worry."
It was now night time. Hikaru, Akira, and Sandra were in a waiting room in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.
Hikaru was looking out the window that showed the view of the beautiful starry sky, Akira and Sandra were sitting on a bed.
"I wonder what are the presents that our dads gave us?" Sandra asked.
"Only one way to find out." Akira said and he and Sandra opened their respective presents. They then gasped.
"What's is it?" Hikaru said, walking up to them.
The three kids gasped. Akira's gift was the roller skates that Nozomu made for him while Sandra's was an acoustic guitar with the body painted blue and pink and the neck decorated with stars along the bottom, a blue and silver keyboard, and a silver necklace with a 5-point-star-shaped amulet. Sandra wore the necklace around her neck.
Akira and Sandra looked at them, "Dad..." they said.
"You'll have to thank them, big time." Hikaru said, "Well, you can thank your dad right now, Sandra. As for our dad... once we find him... where could he be?"
Akira stood up, "We'll find him, Hikaru! We'll find him no matter what."
Then his and Sandra's biocodes started beeping again.
"Again? What's up with these things?" Akira asked.
"They've been ringing for a while now." Sandra said.
Holograms of Iron Man and Scarlet Witch appeared. The three kids gasped.
"So you finally figured it out, huh?" Iron Man asked. "Sheesh, I never thought you'd push that button."
"Stark, quit taunting the poor kids." Scarlet Witch said, folding her arms.
Akira and Sandra were completely speechless.
"Iron Man? Scarlet Witch? Is it really you guys?" the two asked.
"Indeed. This would take some getting used to." Scarlet Witch replied.
