And here is episode 2. This is of course Danny's first fight and the introduction of the mandarin. Also if you want to check it out I have a story of a some time pre season 1 finale post Cat's joining of the team cast watching the series.

S1-E2: Iron forged in fire part 2.

"He's all over the news. They're calling him Iron Man."

"He saved hundreds of lives by stopping that train."

"Including everyone in this building."

"I don't care who he is or what he did." The skinny bald man known as Obadiah Stane said to the 3 scientists. "All I care about is what he's wearing. Imagine if we could produce a series of flying weapons capable suits of armour. It would revolutionise warfare and we would be rich. Start working on it."

"Sir that's the thing. The suit. From what we've seen it is years, if not decades ahead of even our technology."

"Then we steal the armour and reverse engineer it."

"That's the next thing. After research we found that the Iron Man armour is known as the Mark 1 exo-suit, patented to the mysterious P.H.A.N.T.O.M think tank. No one but S.H.I.E.L.D and the CIA even know who runs this think tank but without a written partnership with them then we can merely attempt to replicate our own equivalent of the systems."

"What about fraud loopholes?"

"P.H.A.N.T.O.M have never confirmed or denied anything that we could use, they have simply reserved the right o decline any questions they don't want to answer. I'm sorry Mr. Stane. However we d have designs for an exo-skeleton in the Fenton stockpile. We could start working from that."

"Do it."

Above them Danny smirked to himself from within the suit. S.H.I.E.L.D and the CIA knew of his identity at the head of P.H.A.N.T.O.M but no one knew about its nature as a simple repository for all his patents which then let him anonymously protect his tech. He quickly shot towards the armoury. Where he could suit down and head to school.


"Iron Man is awesome."

"It's so cool."

"What do you think Iron Man is."

This was what Daniel Anthony Stark (He changed his middle name to.) and Hiccup Horrendous Haddock iii walked into when they entered Hollywood arts that morning.

"It's awesome man. Your a celebrity but you can still have a life." Hiccup said to Danny.

"Yeah, and I'm glad I patented the armour to P.H.A.N.T.O.M. Stane wanted to get it to make it for himself. Apparently a form of armour is in the blueprints he bought from my parent's labs but my tech usually outclasses my parent's in finesse if not power."

"It's a military experiment."

"What?" the 2 boys looked behind the to see Penny and Cat.

"My dad's in the FBI and they believe Iron Man is part of some kind of military experiment." Penny explained.

"Nah, I think he's a robot." Beck said walking up to them.

"I was the first person to see him." Cat said "Red is my favourite colour and I think Iron Man is a guy in a suit. Not a soldier just a normal guy but smarter."

"No way, that wouldn't make sense." Beck said and Penny agreed.

"Anyway what do you think about our proposals for the action scene." Beck asked.

"Come by our office later. I've got some ideas I want to show you."


The gang were sat in the studio Danny and Hiccup produced in.

They were looking at a hologram of a set of chairs with bizarre helmets attached.

"What are we looking at here?" Tori said in confusion.

"Well I designed these so that we can do everything you wanted to do." Danny explained. Touch the hologram."

Robbie did so and was astounded when he actually felt a surface.

"Hard light hologram. The chairs control drones that project a hard light hologram around themselves. Like this we can have you control the holograms with your minds, you would see and feel as though you were in those bodies to a certain pain level before your nervous system would disconnect, this allows us to create a far more realistic action scene. I can easily rig up full scale remote operated versions of these vehicles that will allow you to focus on acting while we work on the driving with help from my new AI J.A.R.V.I.S. he should be ready to film by the time we have the bad guy lair set up and the good guy lair too."

"There is something else. Sikowitz has upped the ante for this project. It now needs to be a full feature length film." Beck said.

"Easy. We focus on scenes that don't need J.A.R.V.I.S, like less action packed character driven scenes while I work on finishing him. And were in luck. Looking over the warehouse deeds I bought I actually own the whole lot, including an old film set. We can easily put something together with that." Danny said without missing a stride.

"What about cameras." André pointed out.

"For the time being remote controlled drones, again J.A.R.V.I.S can take over when he's ready."

"Now Beck and Jade you guys work on the script together. Tori an André you start scoring the film. Robbie and Heather can work on costumes and Penny and Cat can correspond with Hiccup to design the sets while I construct the necessary apparatus and continue programming J.A.R.V.I.S. Sound good for everyone?"


"That's so unfair!" Cat exclaimed. She and Penny were sat with the FX crew on the roof of the building.

"So Stane has the right to all your parent's inventions and are using them to make weapons!" Penny asked.

"Yep. And there's nothing we can do without incurring legal repercussions." Danny said sullenly.

"So Danny, that 'earth mover' did it look like, well that." Hiccup said pointing up at an earth mover being carried over the school.

"Um- that reminds me. I have to get home I have a meeting with a, um cable guy. Yeah, well, see ya later guys." Danny said before running off.


Later

Obadiah Stane had just finished demonstrating the power of his new laser system. When the Iron Man suit was detected.

"Danny? Danny do you copy?"

"Hiccup I won't lie to you. I'm not talking to a cable guy."

"No kidding. You went after the earth mover didn't you?"

"Yeah but we've got problems."

"Problems?"

"Stane's targeting me and I think that the laser system is overloading which could go critical soon."

"Meaning?"

"The laser will explode and obliterate about half the state, minimum. And there are 3 of them, all shooting at me."

"What do you have planned?"

Danny swept past one of the earth movers, causing it to start tracking his movement's with its laser system.

He then swung around behind another earth mover and hung behind it, activating the force field.

"What are you doing?"

"The targeting systems track movement but they're programmed to ignore each other. It won't notice the earth mover in the way."

With that the earth mover exploded and sent a plume of fire up straight into the sky.


"What's going on out there?" A helicopter reporter exclaimed.

"I don't know but we should get over there." The pilot said.


"Iron Man seems to be fighting 2 giant battle platforms." The reporter said on TV.

"Iron Man to news chopper, repeat Iron Man to news chopper."

"Iron Man! What's going on?"

"These earth movers are suffering from an overloaded laser system; if I can't deactivate them then they will explode and destroy half the state. If you're watching this on or beyond the east border of LA then start making your way away from this testing site. If you are closer then you won't get away in time. Iron Man signing out."


"Danny what have you planned?"

"I'll let you know when I'm done. Unless I blow up."

"Blow up! What!"

Ignoring Hiccup Danny flew above the nearest earth mover and dropped into the power core, putting himself in the charge beam.

"Iron Man your power is reaching critical levels! You need to bail now!"

"I can't! Too many lives." Soon the core shut down but energy was crackling around the suit.

"I hope this WORKS!" Danny hovered and fired the unibeam at the remaining earth mover.

Quickly the platform collapsed, deactivated.

"It worked! Crisis averted." Iron Man said as he walked away. However as he did so he was blindsided by a massive light.

When it cleared Danny was lying on the ground and an armoured figure with a vague evil samurai vibe stood over him.

"The Iron Man." He said in a dark voice. "How unimpressive. You will not stand between the mandarin and his destiny."

Looking at the hand pointing at him Danny was shocked as he recognised the rings from his parent's journals.

"Where did you get those rings!" he yelled as he got up but the man just teleported away.


"That was insane dude!" Hiccup said. "You saved us; we all could have died because of Stane. Your a hero." Danny stood, looking down at the floor.

"That man, the Mandarin, he was wearing 2 rings from my parent's notes. Extremely powerful ghost rings. The armour got a scan of them. We have their basic energy signature, we need to start hunting for them, we need to find them before the mandarin does or I don't know what might happen.


And that's episode 2. From here the story pretty much nosedives out of established plot territory. Gene won't be Danny's friend and the armour wars can't happen because Iron Man is protected by patents.

Sorry this took so long. As stated before my muse is, random, to say the least. I May start a story then all but abandon it for months then start working on it again. The exception is my transformers stories 'legacy' and 'reborn' there I can't do much until people review me suggestions put at the bottom of reborn. I don't even care about a vote anymore just give me some ideas in the review section of reborn. Anyway I have 2 new stories in this section: the Shadow of Hollywood and rise of The Phantom Knight. Give them a chance, both features the Tony Stark Iron Man as a minor character. See you next episode, whenever it is.

Oh yeah and Cat will join in a chapter or 2s time and Penny shortly after. Penny will be the iron patriot in this story. See you next time.
