Iron Man: Reforged Season 02 Episode 07
We see that Howard had been checking out the Armor looking impressed by everything and says "I still can't believe you converted the Makluan Temple into your state of the art base of opperations."
"I suppose I learned to appriciate a few of your history lessons, all those lectures about the rings and the ancient advanced technology. It just seemed right." Tony answered back about his Armory setup.
"Well it's darn impressive." His dad then stated about everything that they'd set up in the temple while looking around at it.
"Ya, a lot of good it's doing me now, after all the things we've been through Mandarin still got all ten Makluan Rings." He'd sighed about having failed to stop him from getting them all.
"Look this isn't over yet, c'mon son cheer up." Howard then told his son saying that it hadn't been over just yet. "It's your eighteenth birthday today."
"With all that's been happening, I completely forgot about that." Tony stated having forgotten his own birthday.
"Rhodey and I wanted to surprise you with a cake in the shape of Iron Man's helmet." Pepper stated about Tony's birthday.
"But we figured you probably weren't in the mood to Celebrate." Rhodey then also added on about the cake idea. "I don't think any of us are."
"Not with Gene out there, now all we can do is wait." Tony then responds before an alarm began to go off and he'd gone over to the computer to see waht it picked up.
"We don't have to wait long." Pepper spoke going over to Tony putting her hand on his shoulder as she looked at the computer too.
"Does all this mean"Ya, Gene's Back."" Howard began to questionb ut Tony cut him off stating that it was exactly what he thought it was.
The Mandarin had given some big speech about uniting everyone provided the world bows down to him as it's ruler and says that he'll wipe out anyone who gets in his way. "This happened because I couldn't stop Gene from getting the ten rings, I'm not gonna let this happen. I'm gonna End This!" Tony yelled frustrated and preparing to fight Gene.
"Look Tony I'm right there with you man, but the last time we faced him he nearly wiped us out in the process." Rhodey then reminded Tony about what happened back in China.
"And now, he's capable of destroying the world." Pepper then added about how powerful he's gotten.
"I'm not gonna just stand here, he has to be stopped!" Tony then stated using Extremis to interact with the Mk-II and making it fly over and attach itself to him until he was completely armored up.
"Before you go flying off, I think I might offer a suggestion." Howard then stated pulling up information on the Makluan Rings. "Despite their seemingly magical nature the rings are actually an extremely advanced form of Technology. And like all forms of technlogy they can be suceptible to error." he'd stated showing the device he built to handle the rings.
"These are the specs for the device you used on the Mandarin in China." Iron Man spoke seeing what they were looking at.
"Alright, let's armor up with this bad boy and take Mandarin down." Rhodey spoke wanting to stop Gene already.
"We can't, the Protoype took weeks to build and was onyl able to give us that one shot, the system fried after I fired it." Tony's dad then explained to them about the device. "But Tony if you and I work together we can find a way to expand the disruptors range."
"Mandarin is trying to bring the world to it's knees, time is something we don't have." He'd answered back and then looked at Pepper and Rhodey stating "You two don't need to do this."
"Yes we do, we're all in this, together." Rhodey answered back telling his best friend they weren't going to let him go it alone.
"No matter what, we'll take down the Mandarin." Pepper spoke too and then the two of them also suited up.
"Dad, I'm gonna contact Gear and see if he'll come and help you out with the project while we're battling the Mandarin." Tony then stated and the three of them took off to go and battle Gene.
"This is insane, against the power of all ten rings you don't stand a chance." Howard then told them worrying for their safety.
"Dad, this is who I am. I have to do this, I'm Iron Man." Tony responds before then closing his faceplate and flying off along with War Machine and Rescue.
The active members of the front lines appeared and were prepared to fight against the Mandarin who says "No one can defeat me, you think you have power Mandarin IS Power!"
"Whatever asshole, let's see you handle X-Feed!" Albedo called slapping the large bands on his arms together and creating what looked like a fusion of Feedback and Alien X at the same time.
Iron Man had blasted Mandarin calling out "I'm real sick of your shit Gene! Just becuase you have all ten rings you think you rule the planet, get over yourself!" and the three of them blasted their Unibeams at Mandarin while he'd thrown up a shield and Iron Man was tapping into Gear's communications piece. "Gear, Howard Stark is back at the armory working on something to stop the Mandarin. I'm sending you the coordinates now go and help him!"
"Right!" Gear Spoke and flew off away from the battlefield to go and find Howard to help with the device.
War Machine swapped to his missles blasting him from the side catching them off guard but he quickly put the shield up again with Rescue then firiging off the energy bombs at him calling "Give it up Gene!"
"You're going to listen!" Iron Man called out blasitng him with the Unibeam again and while he was distracted Static and Hotstreak blasted him from the sides with both fire and electricty.
X-Feed had attached their antenni to Mandarin's back from a distance and began draining him enough to take down the shield and Ship came in firing a rocket at them blowing him out of the sky. When he was falling X-Feed blasted him with the energies they absorbed sending them flying back up towards the sky before he could hit the ground and Iron Man, Rescue, and War Machine blasted him with their Unibeams shooting him back down to the ground making him slam against it hard.
Wonder Woman had come in while Mandarin was getting back up and slammed her fist into his gut uppercutting him back into the air and he'd stopped himself from spnning out of control calling out "ENOUGH!" and created a burst of energy that knocked everyone away and caused those in the air to crash down onto vehicles or the road below. "I am the Mandarin none can challenge my rule!" He'd called out as a spaceship appeared above them and blasted at him while the heroes were getting up.
"I think you've got a contender there Gene!" Iron Man called out while he was getting back up wincing slightly in pain. "Everyone alright?"
"Gah, feels like I was hit by a truck." Hotstreak called out getting himself up off of the car he'd crashed down onto.
"You said it." Static agreed about being hit while getting up too "What about the rest of you, you guys okay too?"
"In one piece thankfully." War Machine answered back as he and Rescue had also gotten up along with Wonder Woman.
"Whoever is in that thing I don't think it's good news." Albedo stated having reverted back to human with Ship next to him shrank down into thier little blob form.
"Iron Man can you read is?" Gear questioned tapping into Tony's coms so that they could communicate. "The Makluan energies have been going haywire since the ship arived."
"Oh great, even more good news." Iron Man stated sarcasically when the larger ship deployed smaller ships that began to blast at them. "I have an idea, Ship c'mon!"
"Ship Ship." The blob answered back and jumped over onto his suit again and they began to take to the air together.
"Keep the rest busy until Ship can get to them all!" Our First Armored Hero called out and the two then blasted off to one of the ship as the others began to fight against the Makluan invaders and managed to make it to the first of the drone ships. "Ship, devour!"
"Shiiip." They'd responded and latched onto the first of the Malkuan ships and began to take it over, though slow going since they'd never had to deal with something this advanced before.
Iron Man then headed off and helped Rescue take down a couple of the ships with War Machine and Hotstreak taking down two more the latter of whom calls "Not bad for a new guy."
"Hey thanks, not so bad yourself Hotstreak." War Machine called back and Wonder Woman flew past them bashing one of the ships and causing it to crash down and explode.
"Keep your eyes on the enemy boys!" She'd called out to the two of them after breaking the ship that was about to attack them.
""Yes Ma'am!"" Both Hotstreak and War Machine called at the same time while saluting her mid air and then got back to battling the ships.
Meanwhile our Galvanic Mechamorph friend had finally managed to fully intergrate with the drone ship they'd attached to and was able to upgrade it to attack and take down other ships in a single blast clearing out the rest of the wave as they'd done so.
