I don't know where I am all I know is that I have been captured after a terrorist attack on my convoy and now I seriously have a bad feeling about this. There is a weight on my chest and I feel material surrounding it "is he going to survive?" a voice said. I take note of the voice; female with a hint of an Asian accent maybe a Chinese accent "it's hard to say" another voice said this time a male most notability of Japanese origin "I was talking to the doctor" the female said again. I try and sit up but I fall back quickly "Easy now" a fourth voice said probably this 'doctor' he had an Afghan accent "Where am I?" I asked
The Doctor looked at the man lying on the table "In a cave hostage to a terrorist group known only as the ten rings with an electromagnet hooked up to a car battery keeping you alive" the doctor said "Oh by the way I am Ho Yinsen" Yinsen said "the Japanese man is Fujitaka Kinomoto and the Chinese woman is Yelan Li" Yinsen continued "I'm Tony Stark and why are we here?" Tony asked "they want an archaeologist to find a chamber of kind and they have him dig it up a magician to remove the protection around it a doctor to treat them and a Weapons manufacturer to build some sort of weapon and then combine the weapon with the item in the chamber" Yelan Li said "Then who's in charge?" Tony asked. "His name is Raza and you don't want to mess with him" Fujitaka said to Tony. "hope he's friendly" Tony joked
What Tony didn't know was that Raza was not only a terrorist but a thief was well when he came in and dragged the hostages out "You have five days to build me your new missile system and you two have four days to find that book" Raza said. "And if we don't?" Tony asked "Then say goodbye" Raza said. "You Tony Stark are a marvel at weapons technology" Raza said as Tony Yelan, Fujitaka and Yinsen saw the weapons stock of this group all of which Tony recognized "My weapons" Tony said "What you made these?" Yelan asked "Yes but I sold them to the US Army" Tony said in shock "They were kind enough to leave several shipments unattended" a soldier said. "I refuse" Tony said abruptly.
After an hour of having his head dunked in ice cold water he agreed to work so they set up a workshop for him; wielding gear, soldering gear smelting equipment and a computer so he could build something. Only that something was for himself and not the ten rings. Fujitaka was still looking for the chamber and from time to time he looked at a photo "Who is that?" Tony asked "My five year old daughter Sakura" Fujitaka said "She's cute" Tony said "Yeah and she probably asking her brother where I am" Fujitaka said with a sigh "Hey we're getting out of here and then grabbing the contents of that chamber" Tony said firmly "What do you mean?" Fujitaka said "Get the others and bring them to my work station" Tony shouted before going to finish his current project
After he finished his project "Yinsen can come here please?" Tony asked "What is it Tony?" Yinsen asked "Can you help me install this?" Tony asked as Fujitaka and Yelan came in. "a miniature ARC reactor to keep my heart running aor to power something big" Tony said moving over to a light table where he laid out a stack of paper revealing a crude design of armour "This is our way out" Tony said "How many days to build it?" Yelan asked "Three days giving us a day spare" Tony said "okay I'll continue on the translation" Fujitaka said. "Alright let's go!" Tony yelled.
After three days the group had built Tony's crude armour "Alright now Yinsen input the code please" Tony requested "Yes sir" Yinsen replied "Yelan are they coming?" Tony asked "Yes sir and they irritated!" Yelan said "Fugi, Fuji, Ah heck can I just call you Aiden until I learnt to pronounce your name?" Tony asked "yeah sure" Fujitaka said "Alright now Aiden do you have the location?" Tony asked "Yeah sure" Fujitaka said "Okay after we're out of here tell me and I'll grab that book and then we'll head for the military base" Tony said as the final piece of his armour was connected by Yinsen "We don't have enough time" Yelan said "Allow me" Yinsen said grabbing a gun and running down the tunnel; "That fool!" Fujitaka shouted. "T minus thirty seconds" Yelan said as Tony clenched his fist "Go time!" he said as the chains deactivated "Nice" Yelan and Fujitaka said "Thank you now lets go!" Tony said as he banged on the door.
Three men were on the outside "Prepare to fire!" the leader shouted. The door flew off the handle to reveal the captives standing there, Yelan welded a staff made of a pole of iron; Fujitaka had his kit on his back and Tony lead with his armour knocking guards unconscious. After moving past the knocked out guards Fujitaka picked up an assault rifle
After a while they found Yinsen "Yinsen, come on you have a family to see like us" Tony said "No they were killed by the ten rings, I am going to see my family" Yinsen said with his last breath. "Rest in peace Ho Yinsen" Yelan said covering his eyes. Fujitaka cocked his gun Tony started to warm his flamethrowers up and Yelan prepped her staff. "For Justice!" teh trio said.
As they hit sunlight Tony opened fire on his weapons turning them into a fireball "Fujitaka, hey I said it" Tony chirped "Yes?" Fujitaka asked "Where the book?" Tony asked "thirty kilometres west from here" Fujitaka said "Smack bang in the middle of the desert!" Yelan shrieked "Hang on!" Tony said as he grabbed them both and activated his thrusters helping fly 29 km and then they had to walk. "Man this armour is heavy" Tony said taking the breastplate off ditching to the ground "We didn't grab water either" fujitaka said "Brilliant, when we find people I am having a bath and something to drink" Yelan shouted "Women!" the men said "WHAT WAS THAT?" Yelan roared "Nothing, let's stop here" Tony said reconnecting the breastplate of his armour. He saw something in the distance "wait here" he said before walking off "where's he going?" Yelan asked "maybe saw an oasis" Fujitaka said "Oh please that would be nice" Yelan said
Tony saw the building the ten rings were looking for "The book's hiding place" Tony said to himself walking in there "Hello seriously old book of magic where are you?" Tony asked only to enter a room and see a red book with a winged lion on teh front cover. "Thats it too easy" Tony said as he lifted up the book and saw a card drop to the floor "The armour" Tony said picking it up.
After he got back to the group and buried his armour; Australian Special Forces arrived to pick them up "Are you Yelan Li, Fujitaka Kinomoto and Tony Stark?" an SAS officer said "Yeah" Tony said "I'm Colonel Roland Cross, we've been looking for you" Col Cross said as he helped them in.
Within a week the captives arrived home to loved ones and work. In Japan Fujitaka saw his little one run to up him and start to cry. In Hong Kong Yelan's family greeted her with tears of joy. In America Tony arrived back to start design his next armour and find out the true face of the Ten Rings.
