Conspiracy Revealed

Vanko Tech's press conference, after a series of climaxes, was gradually drawing to a close.

Suddenly, the Iron Armors on stage began to activate. The audience watched in shock, unsure of what was happening.

The sudden turn of events stunned and panicked the audience. They began to scramble in a frenzy, searching for safe exits, while Ivan Vanko stood on the podium, his face a mask of terror, shouting, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. You guys need to escape, quickly!"

Tony Stark also felt an unusual unease, his eyes darting around with sharp alertness. He realized this was Ivan Vanko's scheme, and a tense atmosphere enveloped the entire venue.

"Rhodey, get Potts and leave immediately."

"Tony, be careful." Potts clearly sensed this might be aimed at Tony. She had come this time precisely to see what tricks Ivan Vanko, who had attacked Tony in Monaco, had up his sleeve.

"Don't worry, these pieces of junk can't handle me," Tony Stark patted Potts on the shoulder. "You guys go first."

The Iron Armors' eyes glowed red, their imposing figures seeming ready to conquer everything. As the armors activated, the mechanical arms on stage began to move, and various weapon systems and equipment were gradually revealed.

The audience screamed and tried to escape the chaotic scene. Tony immediately realized his life was in grave danger. He quickly activated his wrist device, and his armor began to assemble, metal fragments flying as it formed his familiar Iron Man suit.

Tony's armor shimmered with a brilliant red light. He quickly ascended, showcasing his flight skills and maneuverability. He gazed at the armors on stage, his heart filled with anger and determination.

"Ivan, you madman!" Tony's voice was laced with anger and warning.

"I don't know what's going on. I don't know," Ivan Vanko stood on stage, looking at Tony with a panicked expression.

"Hmm?" Tony, inside his armor, frowned. His intuition told him this was the other party's scheme.

Tony looked at Ivan coldly, his heart filled with anger and resolve. He would never allow Ivan's scheme to succeed, nor would he allow Ivan to harm innocent people.

Tony's armor dove from the sky, instantly unleashing a powerful energy beam. He quickly shot down several Iron Armors, but Ivan's legion remained vast and formidable.

The scene descended into chaos, the stage filled with the sounds of explosions and clashing metal. Tony fought fiercely against Ivan's Iron Legion, launching continuous attacks.

Ivan, meanwhile, stood by with a panicked expression, looking left and right as if searching for an escape route.

Suddenly, a violent explosion rocked the venue, and thick smoke filled the air above. When the smoke cleared, Ivan Vanko had vanished, leaving only debris scattered across the ground.

Tony stopped, peering through the smoke and wreckage. He discovered Ivan was gone. His heart was filled with suspicion and vigilance, realizing this was only part of Ivan's larger plan.

Suddenly, Tony received a communication within his armor from Nick Fury.

Jarvis: "Sir, it's a communication from Nick Fury."

"Connect it."

"Tony, you have to be careful! Justin Hammer has begun his plan!"

"Justin Hammer?" Tony Stark looked bewildered, all while dodging attacks from the Iron Legion.

"According to our agents, Justin Hammer has seized control of Ivan Vanko's Iron Legion from his control room. His goal is to kill you, frame Ivan Vanko for the incident, and then seize Vanko Tech's achievements."

Nick Fury ended the communication and said to Black Widow beside him, "Go to Ivan Vanko's control center now. I've already sent Hawkeye on his way."

"Understood," Black Widow departed swiftly.

"Shit," Tony Stark cursed repeatedly.

Massive, powerful armors lunged at him, emitting deafening mechanical roars. Tony reacted with incredible speed, his armor a streak of red lightning as he dodged and counterattacked. He used his armor's high maneuverability to deftly evade enemy attacks while unleashing powerful energy beams and missiles.

The battlefield erupted into a frenzy of clashing metal and explosions. Tony's heart pounded, his senses on high alert, focused on every detail of the fight.

A colossal armor lunged at him, attempting to crush Tony with its massive fist. But Tony swiftly evaded, then launched a counterattack from behind the armor at lightning speed, using an energy beam to slice through its metal plating.

Another armor fired missiles at him. Tony ducked sharply to evade, then retaliated. His wrist device unleashed a flamethrower, engulfing the armor in flames. The armor emitted a scorched sound but continued its attack.

The battle raged on, Tony's every strike hitting its target with pinpoint accuracy. His armor radiated immense power, making the enemy feel utterly helpless.

However, the Iron Legion was numerous and powerful. Though Tony destroyed enemy after enemy, their numbers seemed endless. Tony began to feel his stamina draining, the fight becoming increasingly difficult.

Just as he found himself in a predicament, Tony suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ear: "Tony, I've got a special surprise for you."

"Rhodey!"

It was Rhodey, piloting Tony's own armor, who had just arrived.

"Now, call me War Machine."

Tony Stark was overjoyed when he saw Rhodey appear on the battlefield piloting that specially designed War Machine armor. The two friends stood together once more, ready to engage in a final decisive battle against Ivan Vanko's Iron Legion.

Together, they launched an assault on Ivan Vanko's Iron Legion. War Machine's shoulders were equipped with powerful rocket launchers, while Tony unleashed energy beams from his wrist device.

They executed coordinated flanking attacks, like an invincible combat duo. Tony displayed exceptional maneuverability in the fight, weaving rapidly between enemies, dodging at times, and counterattacking at others.

Rhodey, meanwhile, showcased War Machine's formidable firepower. He utilized the rocket thrusters on War Machine's back, circling in the air while unleashing a barrage of missiles. As the missiles detonated, flames and smoke billowed, scattering the enemies.

The battlefield was filled with the scent of smoke and fire, but Tony and Rhodey did not falter. They cooperated, sometimes drawing enemy attention, other times concentrating their firepower.

Every attack was precise, every evasion timely. They danced amidst the sparks on the battlefield, defeating enemies one by one.

Ivan Vanko's Iron Legion gradually crumbled under their fierce assault. With the seamless coordination between War Machine and Iron Man, the numbers of the Iron Legion dwindled.

Finally, they routed Ivan's Iron Legion, sending them scattering. The battlefield was left with only burning wreckage and smoke-filled air.

Tony and Rhodey breathed heavily, their armor covered in scratches and scorch marks, but their eyes shone with the joy of victory.

They stood on the battlefield, reflecting on their fight. They knew that only through mutual trust and coordinated teamwork could they overcome powerful enemies.

"Well done, Rhodey!" Tony said with a smile, patting War Machine's shoulder.

"Helping each other, protecting each other—that's our mission!" Rhodey declared with renewed vigor.

"Is that so?" A golden Iron Armor slowly descended.

"Justin Hammer! Do you know what you're doing?" Rhodey's voice was filled with anger and disgust.

"Hahahahaha. You will all die." Justin Hammer's voice came from inside the armor.

Tony Stark frowned upon hearing Justin Hammer's voice, then said to Jarvis, "Jarvis, analyze Justin Hammer's voiceprint."

"Yes, sir, please wait a moment."

"Sir, according to the match, Justin Hammer's voice is 100% AI synthesized."

Upon hearing this result, Tony Stark sneered, "As expected, it's you? Ivan Vanko."

Frankly, Tony Stark's first thought when he heard Nick Fury's intel was disbelief. Justin Hammer's desire to kill him was less about that and more about wanting Hammer Industries to crush him in front of Tony Stark, then reveling in his own impotent rage.

"Rhodey. This is Ivan Vanko's plot," Tony Stark said.

"Ivan Vanko's plot?"

"Yes, Justin Hammer's voice is AI synthesized."

"Hmph, no matter what it is, let's smash this armor in front of us into dust first."

"That's exactly what I was thinking."

"Hmph, you two, you'll die for what you did at the hearing!"

The golden Iron Armor stood imposingly before Tony and Rhodey, like an insurmountable fortress. Tony felt the powerful energy emanating from the armor and knew this would be a tough fight.

The battle began, and the golden armor launched a swift attack. Its fists smashed down on Tony like thunder, with astonishing power. Tony dodged with all his might but was repelled by a powerful shockwave, crashing into the wall.

Rhodey engaged the golden armor in a fierce struggle. He used War Machine's firepower to suppress the armor, but its defenses were incredibly strong, almost impenetrable. Rhodey's attacks inflicted some damage on the armor, but it was far from enough to subdue it.

Tony and Rhodey cooperated, doing their best to withstand the armor's assault. Tony used his Iron Armor's mobility to constantly evade the armor's punches and kicks, occasionally counter-attacking. Energy beams shot from his wrist-mounted devices, targeting the armor's weak points as he tried to find a way to defeat it.

However, the golden armor displayed astonishing adaptability. It quickly learned and adapted to Tony and Rhodey's fighting styles, neutralizing their attacks. The armor's fists and kicks rained down like a storm, fierce and relentless.

Tony and Rhodey's physical and mental strength began to wane, and the pressure mounted. They understood that only by joining forces could they confront this invincible enemy.

"Rhodey, we need to coordinate our attack, concentrate our firepower!" Tony shouted.
