Marvel, I tweet and I can draw a lottery

Chapter 19 Mark III First Battle

Yin Sen has already left the villa, he may fly directly to the person who needs his help after finishing this interview.

Tony didn't give him a farewell party after all.

Tony sat hunched over his workbench, wearing a prototype Iron Man Mark III glove.

On his side of the wall, a large flat-screen TV was broadcasting real-time news on the screen.

Television footage showed victorious Ten Commandments separatists rampaging through the ruins of Comilla, while a large number of refugees fled from the ruins.

It appears that Raza's insurgent group is spreading beyond Afghanistan.

Tony aimed the glove at a hanging lamp twenty feet away and activated the repulsion mechanism.Hanging lights flickered, hissed, and fell from the ceiling.

At this time, the TV screen switched to the Comilla Mountains, where hungry refugees gathered in temporary camps and caves on the mountain.A hungry child weeps in the crowd.

Tony adjusted the glove, raising the power level.He fired at a window on the far side of the lab.The blast wave from the repulsion technology shattered the glass and knocked a nearby painting off the wall.

"Other countries have no intention of assisting these refugees for the time being, nor are they willing to put pressure on this incident."

The TV reporter concluded, "These newly displaced refugees are desperate, with only one thing on their mind: Is anyone in the world paying attention to them?"

Tony made one last adjustment to the glove before blasting the TV to pieces.There was a sudden silence in the laboratory, and he nodded with satisfaction.Now, he needs to have a deeper understanding of the situation in the Comilla area.

Armor flies fast.He flew halfway around the world in just a few hours, arriving near Comilla before sunrise the next day.

The city is surrounded by Ten Commandments rebels in black.They were the same people who imprisoned Tony and Yin Sen before.

Rebels patrolled shanties and refugee camps on the outskirts of the city.They took local men of combat age as hostages.

A boy under the age of 12, holding a puppy in his arms, quickly crossed the alley.He didn't see the four Ten Commandments separatists in the square at first, and almost bumped into them.

The group yelled and raised their weapons.The little boy knew he was doomed, and backed away in fear.

At this time, Iron Man flew down from the night sky and landed between the rebels and the little boy.

They quickly grabbed the hostages and put them in front of them, but Tony had anticipated this when he made the final adjustments to the armor's close-combat system.

The sights of multiple targets appeared on the head-up display of the armor. With Tony's order, the rebels were killed by the small honeycomb turret hidden in the armor.

The hostages were running around, and so was the little boy.

Tony rose into the air again, heading for the city.At this time, a missile knocked him out of the air.

His armor withstood the impact of the missiles, but the sensors and navigation system were temporarily disrupted.

After Tony reset them, he aimed at the truck that fired the missile at him, destroying it with the blast wave generated by the repulsive force.

He then strode through the Ten Rings camp, destroying every Stark Industries-made weapon he could find.

In the process of destroying the weapon, he caused a series of huge explosions, and the sound of explosions echoed throughout the valley.

He was fulfilling Yin Sen's wish and at the same time freed the local people from the tyranny of the Ten Commandments, Tony was very satisfied.

But before Iron Man could enjoy the joy of victory, a tank shell blew the building around him to pieces.

A mass of brick and mortar fell on his armor, and Tony staggered a few steps.The refugees who crawled out of their hiding places to watch Iron Man hurried to safety.

Then, the tank rumbled into Tony's sight.It also knocked over the makeshift shed as it approached.At this time, the barrel of the tank aimed at Iron Man who had just risen from the ruins.

Tony studied the tank's construction on the head-up display.The tank was Stark's design, so his computer files showed him everything about the tank in front of him, and its flaws.

The tank fires again, but Iron Man dodges early, a mini-missile launcher popping out of the glove in his left hand.

Iron Man fires the missile at the tank, which hits the tank between the main body and the turret.Tank systems are overloaded.After a while, people sitting in the tank jumped out one after another, and the whole tank exploded.

Tony's head-up display shows someone approaching him from behind.So he turned around quickly, ready to use repulsion to completely blow the enemy away.

But that person was just a child, the little boy Tony had saved before.The little boy held out his hand and handed him an apple.

Iron Man fondled the little boy's hair, and flew into the air again.He looked around and found no trace of the rebels on the streets.

The refugees below cheered.Tony sighed with relief, and said to Jarvis, "Jarvis, set a route to go home."

The bombing at Comilla alerted Air Force Command, where Colonel James Lord was a staff officer.

"What is that?" the general asked, he wanted to figure out the ins and outs of this incident, "Where did our people go?"

"We found a UFO!" said an officer in charge of surveillance. "This is not Air Force equipment."

Radar signals indicated that it was a very small object, but very maneuverable and extremely fast. "We got a call from the CIA and they wanted to know if that was our equipment," the general said.

"No, definitely not ours, and not the Navy and Marine Corps." The officers shouted.

"Call Colonel Rhodes here!" the general ordered.

After 1 minute, Rhodes walked in and listened to the officers briefly explain the current situation. "We think it's a drone," one officer concluded.

Rhodes thought for a while, and then said, "Let me make a call to confirm." He picked up the phone and dialed Tony Stark's private number.After a while, Tony's voice came through the receiver.

"what happened?"

The signal on the phone was so poor that Rhodes could hardly hear what he was saying. "Tony, this is Rhodes. Why is it so noisy in your place?"

"Oh, well, I'm driving a convertible," Tony replied, "Look, it's not a good time to make a phone call..."

"I need your help to quickly identify an object." Rhodes said while studying the real-time satellite images, "We found that a weapon depot was blown up, just a few kilometers away from the place where you were detained."

"Oh, this could be a hot news story," Tony said. "Looks like someone went ahead and did it for you, huh?"

Rhodes covered the receiver.At this time, the commander said: "This drone has entered the no-fly zone."

"Did you hide some technology that I don't know about, and didn't tell me?" Rhodes asked.

"No. Why do you ask?"

One of the staff officers signaled a patrolling F-22 to approach the drone. "Long Whip, please hurry to the scene," he said.

"Because I feel that there is such a thing in front of me," Rhodes said, "and it will be blown up soon."

Suddenly an alarm sounded in the control room, indicating that the drone had invaded the patrolling airspace.

"I'm going to hang up." With that, Tony hung up the phone with a click.

Tony looked up to see two USAF F-22 Raptors descending from the sky, heading towards him.

The fighter jet roared down, getting closer and closer to him.Tony turned on the suit's turbo boosters and lunged forward.He made a sharp turn, but the fighter was still in hot pursuit.

Beads of sweat dripped down Tony's back.Every time he made a turn, the plane turned with him.According to the prompt on the head-up display, the weapon systems of the two F-22s were trying to lock him.

He knew that once he entered their sight, the other party would open fire immediately.

But would they actually open fire on him?After all, he was on their side.

But the problem is that the other party doesn't know it.

"The chasing fighter has locked on to the target," Jarvis said calmly.

Tony looked back to see that the lead fighter was ready to fire missiles at him.

The missile flew straight at Iron Man.Tony puts on modified armor, so at this point he's flying as fast as a jet fighter, but faster with a Sidewinder.

Tony concentrated on putting all the power into the armor's thrusters, but the head-up display showed that the missile was gradually approaching him.

Jarvis's voice was still calm, he said: "The Sidewinder missile will be in 5 seconds... 4 seconds... 3 seconds... 2 seconds..."

Tony activated the countermeasures in the armor.A flap popped open instantly, and chunks of tinsel scattered through the air like wedding confetti.

Sidewinder missiles hit the foil.The huge fireball produced by the explosion surrounded Iron Man, but Tony, who was in the armor, did not feel the power of the explosion at all.

But the F-22 fighter jets were still chasing after him.

Iron Man slammed into the ground, rolling to the left and then to the right, but the Raptor kept on his heels.

Tony tried his best to fly at high speed, trying to get rid of the fighter behind him.He made another sharp turn, and the gravity gauge in his helmet turned from green to yellow to red.Tony's vision blurred and he almost fainted.

"Sir," said Jarvis, "permit me to remind you that this suit of armor can perform these difficult maneuvers, but your body cannot."

Two F-22 fighter jets strafed with machine guns in Iron Man's flight path.White-hot tracers flew past Tony, hitting his armor and exploding it.For the first time the new armor was bent and cracked.

Tony frowned and said, "Jarvis, activate the air brake!"

All the traction flaps on the armor pop open instantly, bringing Iron Man to a halt in a matter of seconds.

This emergency stop is tantamount to a high-speed car directly crashing to a stop.

The sharply rising gravity pressed Tony tightly into the armor, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled grunt.

The two fighter jets roared past Iron Man like two gray shadows.Tony breathed a sigh of relief.

By the time the Raptor tried to turn on him again, he was miles away.

"Jarvis," he said, "get me through to Rod."

The computer housekeeper dialed the phone for him.

"Hello?" Rhode's voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

"Hey, Rhodes, it's me. You asked me if I was hiding some new technology from you, and that thing was me."

"No, listen, this is no joke. You can't send civilian equipment into my active combat area. Do you understand?"

"This is not some equipment, I'm in it. This is an armor, which is me!"

"Mark your positions and return to base," the commander said.

"Got it, Situation Room." Long Whip No. [-] replied.

"Return immediately, sir."

As the two jet fighters whizzed overhead, Iron Man lifted off the ground and grabbed the belly of the closest fighter.

Unfortunately, the Raptor's wingman quickly noticed him.

"Long Whip One, he's in your belly," said the pilot of the second fighter.

"What did you say?" Long Whip One replied, seemingly incredulous.

"He's on your belly! Get rid of him!"

The F-22 Raptor immediately made a series of dips, dives and turns.It's simply an ace of tricks.

Although Tony's fingers were covered with armor, at this moment he could only hold onto the fighter plane, struggling to support it.Inside the armor, he was thrown around by this series of actions of the fighter like a nail in a can.

"Report to the headquarters," Long Whip II said, "This is definitely not a drone."

A voice came over the intercom, and Tony recognized it as Major Allen's voice. "Then what is this?" Allen asked.

"I think that... that's a person, sir."

"Whip Two," said Viper One, "it's still there. Keep rolling!"

The fighter begins a dizzying series of rolls and spins, spirals upwards, then dives downwards, spins sharply sideways, and repeats.

Tony clung to the fighter tightly, but he was already sick inside the armor.

"Sir," Jarvis said in a calm voice, "in two minutes, we will run out of energy for the return trip."

Iron Man let go of his hand, and staggered to fly backward.He slammed into Whip Two's left wing, ripping the wing off.The fighter jet plummeted straight to the ground.

"I'm hit!" cried Whip Two.The pilot pressed the seat eject button, and the fighter's cockpit cover flew out. The rocket-powered cockpit seat quickly ejected from the damaged airframe, but the parachute on the seat failed to open.

"Whip One," Major Allen called, "do you see the parachute?"

"No!" Long Whip One replied, "No parachute found! No parachute found!"

Iron Man flew forward quickly, trying to catch the falling pilot.

"Warning, insufficient energy." Jarvis said slowly and seriously, "Set the return route immediately."

"That UFO is following him!" shouted Whip One. "It's attacking Whip Two!"

The HUD gave Tony the information he needed.

So, he rushed towards the falling pilot.At the last moment, Iron Man's metal fingers found the jammed parachute mechanism and ripped it free.

With a loud hiss, the pilot's parachute opened.

The parachute traps the air, pulling the pilot away from Iron Man.The parachute ballooned in the air, carrying the pilot safely back to the ground.

Tony smiled under his helmet.

"The parachute is open! The parachute is open!" Long Whip One shouted, "You may not believe it, but the UFO just saved his life!"

Iron Man turned on his thrusters and made a sharp turn, almost hitting the ground.Long Whip One made a barrel roll and immediately followed behind.

Every system in Tony's armor flashed warning signs.He no longer had enough energy to perform fancy flying maneuvers, only enough energy left to get him home.

At this time, the fighter jet no longer followed him, but flew away roaring.Tony realized that Rhodes' phone was still on. "Tony, are you still there?"

"Hey, thanks," Tony said.

"Gosh, you're crazy. You owe me a plane now, you know?"

"Well," Tony said, "technically, he hit me. Now you want to come over and see what I'm doing?"

"No." Rhodes said, "The less I know, the better. But the question now is, how do I tell the media about this?"

"Just call it a military exercise," Tony said. "Don't you all use this cliché to kill the media?"

"It's not that simple this time," Rhodes said.
