Iron Man: Reforged Season 01 Episode 02
Tony, or rather Iron Man, had been listening in on Obadiah Stane's conversations about his armor and when someone pointed him out Stane questions "How about it Iron Man, are you interested in making a lot of money?" However he didn't answer and when the news choppers flew up he dropped down and flew off to ditch them.
He was getting annoyed with the choppers still following him and looked over at the Cameraman stating "You wanna play, then let's play." Before flying off even faster leaving them in the dust while the Cameraman was recording it.
We then see that Tony was putting away the armor back at the lab with Rhodey getting onto him questioning "Are you crazy, you're seriously stressing me out man!"
"Try racing helicopters before breakfast, now that's stressful." Tony responded to his friend while sipping on a drink of some kind that was in a bottle.
"Dude, it's getting hard to cover for you with my mom.. What? Racing Helicopters, I'm not gonna see you on the news again am I?" Rhodey questioned annoyed at Tony's antics.
"I mean, not if you don't watch the news." Was the reply that he'd gotten from his friend as he'd casually continued to enjoy his drink and the two of them left. "Y'know Rhodey this armor is seriously incredible. I may have actually out genuised myself. I might have even out genuised Gear with this one."
The whole school was talking about Iron Man this and that some talking about the tech and wondering if they're related to Gear in some way, which Tony laughs at and they head on over to their lockers getting ther books. "Don't you need to get your books too?" Rhodey questioned his friend.
"Nah, I memorized them." Tony answere'd back annoying his friend in the process. "I wanna head back to stark tower, try to get more dirt on Stane. We know the Earthmovers are being weaponized, we just have to figure out a way to stop it."
"It's a military experiment." A girl's voice spoke up surprising the guys as they turned and saw Pepper walking up to them. "My dad said that the F.B.I. thinks that Iron Man was a part of some sort of Military Experiment, oh Red is my favorite Color."
Someone shut a locker behind them interrupting their thoughts. "Whoa, you got it all wrong Pepper. Everyone's saying Iron Man is some sort of Robot from the future. Like an Advanced A.I. or he's possibly.. an alien." The guy stated to them walking over, you could see his was in a basketball uniform.
"Happy why are you whispering? We go to school with Aliens. And Everyone knows Time Travel is a real thing, Dan Phantom was from ten years into the future compared to when he showed up. Though I think that year has already come and gone." Rhodey stated back in response to what he was saying.
"Runa from Gym Class is a Tetramand, and do you even know what A.I. stands for?" Pepper questioned the basketball player.
"Sure it do.." Happy answered back pausing to try to think. "Shut up." He'd then answered and walk way.
"Happy Hogan, most definately not the next Einstine." Tony then stated to them with a sigh about the guy that was just there.
"Now, what were you guys saying about getting dirt on Obadiah Stane?" Pepper then questioned looking over at the guys.
They'd gone up to the roof and explained everything to Pepper who looked surprised by what she was told. "That totally stinks, I mean you invent all this great stuff and now Stane is selling it off as weapons? That's horrible. Not illegal mind you, but still horrible." She'd stated to the guys before taking a sip of her drink. "So uh, this super laser thingy you invented did it look sorta like a big metal monster, say around ten stories tall or so?"
The guys looked confused when she asked them that but she gestured towards something and they turned to see what it was seeing an Earthmover being flown over the city by a very large drone. Tony had used the excuse of going to the bathroom and actually left the school going to suit up and headed off to where the Earthmover was being taken to.
We see that the Earthmover was being used to destroy different things around it to show a display of power and cut to Rhodey running through the door to his room and getting onto his computer calling "Tony, you there?"
"Rhodey, I won't lie to you. I'm not in the bathroom." He'd answered back over the com system. "I'm patching you into the testing ground's security systems now. See if you can see anything."
"Hang on, it's coming up now." Rhodey answered back checking out the information. "Tony there watching you move!"
Iron Man turned towards the Earthmover and was hit by a laser and then stepped on but he'd managed to get out of there unharmed "That thing tried to kill me, I invented those lasers and I can uninvent them. I'm blasting them apart." He'd stated as two more showed up and the three began to try to blast him however he'd managed to create an energy shield around himself with the suit warning him of a critical system's failure.
"Tony cut your boot jets, they wanna shoot at something then we'll give them something to shoot at. Remember those old jet movies?" Rhodey told him before asking if he'd remembered about something.
"Now that just might work, there might be a little Genius in you after all." His friend answered back from inside the armor and did just that now flying around as the Earthmovers were blasting at him and he'd flown around close to one of them so that when they missed they would shoot each other instead.
"Hi." Pepper called coming into the room as Rhodey freaked and quickly turned off his system. "Your front door was open, and you bolted after class. Don't tell me Tony ditched school again, he is so going to get expelled. So what are you doing anyway, and where's Tony at right now?"
Meanwhile Tony was now on his own at the moment blasting lasers from his hand at the machines while making them blast at each other at the same time before noticing something. "No no no no NO! What did you idiots do? This is bad." Iron Man then stated seeing one of the machines was sparking through something.
Rhodey had finally managed to get Pepper to leave and rejoined Tony "You've got to set up this system in your lab, Pepper came in and interrupted. I just managed to get her to leave." He'd stated into the com system.
"Noted, oh by the way the first Earthmover is about to explode because the power coupling wasn't built to specifications, it could wipe out all of upstate New York if we don't handle it." He'd answered back while flying around the machines trying to shut them down. "I've got an idea of how to do it though."
"Really, how?" His friend questioned about what exactly they were going to do to stop it from exploding.
"I'll let you know when I'm done. That is if I don't blow up." Came the answer as Iron Man then flew up to the top of the Earthmover and down into it's power core being zapped by it and dropping down onto the machine. He'd managed to absorb the power making it shut down with his armor then warning him that the power systems were overloaded and that an energy release was required.
Iron Man then blased through the Earthmover with the beam on his chest and it managed to blast straight through the other two as well shutting them down and making them drop. "Tony you there?" Rhodey then questioned over the com.
"Ya I'm here, not to bad if I do say so myse" He'd began to answer but then something blasted them backwards onto the ground.
"Tony you there? Your systems just went down all at once and your implant is on backup I'm gonna try to force a reboot." Rhodey then answered back activating the system reboot function remotely.
A man in black armor walked over to our hero as he was still on the ground. "The Iron Man how unimpressive."
"Sorry have we met?" Iron Man questioned the guy in the black armor not recognizing them at all.
"All those who defy the Mandarin will be destroyed." They'd stated to our hero warning that they would end him.
"I don't recall ever doing that but, Good to know." He'd answered back in response to what this, Mandarin person was saying.
"Such arrogance, let those be the last words you ever mutter." The Mandarin then stated to him but Tony's armor rebooted and he'd blasted at them knocking them backwards.
"Where did you get those rings, just who are you!?" Iron Man then questioned trying to fend off a large sort of explosion of energy that the Mandarin had unleashed and it knocked him back into one of the damaged Earthmovers.
"Iron Man, you don't want me as an enemy. I'll ask you one last time work for me." Stane spoke walking up to them.
"Never." He'd answered back before flying off and kicking up a bunch of dust in Obadiah's face as he'd done so.
Back at the Compound Rhodey was talking to his friend about what happened. "You almost died then, we all almost died because of Stane. You just save millions of lives Tony. Think about it, this is serious."
"The man in black, The Mandarin. He had my father's Makluan Ring. The energy he created with it, I'm not sure how to explain it but my dad's right. These rings could definately be some sort of technology, and this Mandarin had another one." Tony stated to them in response wondering about them.
