Rhodey nodded, and the two began working together in perfect sync. Tony unleashed countless miniature missiles, while Rhodey used War Machine's overwhelming firepower to suppress their enemy. They trapped the Golden Armor within a web of firepower, trying to find an opportunity to defeat it.

The battle reached a stalemate, with both sides trading blows, attacking and defending. Tony and Rhodey gradually felt their physical and mental energy draining away. Their breaths came fast, and sweat dripped from their foreheads.

"Tony, something's not right with our condition," Rhodey said, slightly out of breath.

"I know, but we can't give up," Tony replied firmly.

"You're all going to die!"

The voice inside the Golden Armor began to grow angry.

The Golden Armor attacked Tony Stark and Rhodey with violent fury. Its movements were swift and fierce, every punch and kick carrying devastating power.

Tony Stark and Rhodey gave everything they had to defend and counterattack. Their armor had already suffered massive damage, and their bodies were exhausted, but they continued fighting.

For a time, the battlefield was filled with explosions and the clash of metal. Sparks flew everywhere, smoke billowed through the air, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

Tony piloted Iron Man, using extraordinary mobility to evade the armor's attacks while firing even more powerful energy beams from his wrist devices. Rhodey piloted War Machine, pushing the firepower of its rocket launchers and missile systems to the limit.

They attacked at the same time. Iron Man's energy beams and War Machine's missile barrage shot straight for the armor's vital points.

Reaction Drive.

Tony Stark and Rhodey successfully found the Golden Armor's weakness: its reactor. That was the key to the battle. They understood that only by destroying the reactor could they end this fight.

However, they also realized that one of them needed to hold it off so the other would have enough time to strike. In perfect unspoken agreement, Tony would distract the armor while Rhodey launched the fatal attack.

Tony became Iron Man, using agile movements and weapons to constantly lure the armor into attacking. He nimbly dodged every strike while launching small-scale counterattacks, keeping the armor's attention fixed on him.

Meanwhile, Rhodey used War Machine's speed and firepower to quickly circle around the armor and charge toward its back. He aimed at the reactor, ready to fire a fatal missile.

The battle reached its critical moment. Tony's armor had been severely damaged, and he could feel his physical and mental strength nearing its limit. He knew time was running out. He had to steer the battle to its decisive point as quickly as possible.

"Sir." Jarvis was just about to speak.

"Don't bother me."

"Yes, sir."

He bravely faced the armor's attacks, using himself as bait. He dodged deadly blows and continuously struck back, firmly keeping the armor's attention on himself.

At the same time, Rhodey successfully got behind the armor. He gripped the controls tightly, steadying War Machine as he prepared to fire the final fatal blow.

There was an unspoken connection between Tony and Rhodey. They could feel each other's presence, each other's persistence and determination. They knew that only by standing united could they defeat this ruthless enemy.

Finally, when the armor attacked once more, Tony dodged with the momentum and redirected its attention behind him. At the same time, Rhodey pressed the button and fired a fatal missile directly into the armor's reactor.

With a deafening boom, the armor exploded, flames scattering in every direction. Tony and Rhodey immediately moved away from the blast site and kept their distance.

As the smoke cleared, the Golden Armor revealed Justin Hammer inside.

"This! This is Justin Hammer!" Rhodey looked at Tony. "What the hell is going on?"

"There's no mistake. The voice coming from the Golden Armor was synthesized by AI." As Tony Stark finished speaking, a shocked expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"What is it?" Tony Stark stared in shock at the revealed armor mask.

"Ha ha ha ha! Looks like you guessed right, Tony Stark." A domineering Iron Armor slowly descended.

Ivan Vanko appeared arrogantly before them, radiating a sinister aura.

"The two of you, in your current state..."

He instantly appeared in front of them. One punch! Another punch!

The two suits of armor were sent flying in an instant.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough."

"Cough, cough."

Both of them had been injured to varying degrees and struggled to get back to their feet.

"It's over. Death will eventually descend, and I will be your guide. The power of the Eisenach Armor will eventually crush this world beneath its feet."

A shockwave shot toward Tony Stark.

"Tony!" Rhodey immediately controlled War Machine to block the attack for Tony.

Bang!

War Machine was blasted away.

"Rhodey!" Tony Stark's pupils shrank.

"Ha ha ha! Even a family of thieves like yours has followers." Ivan Vanko controlled the armor as energy gathered.

Boom!

After the strike, Tony Stark, who had closed his eyes, slowly opened them and stared in surprise at the figure's back before him.

"Super V."

Tony Stark immediately shouted, "Super V, hurry and save them!"

"What about you? Don't you need saving?" Super V asked.

"No. I'm going to take him down." Tony Stark looked toward the imposing armor opposite him.

"Hmph. Super V, this is a grudge between me and the Stark family. I advise you not to meddle." Ivan Vanko threatened from inside the armor.

Andrew raised his hands. "Fine, fine. Your opponent isn't me anyway." With a wave of both hands, Andrew took Rhodey and Justin Hammer away.

"Put them down. At the very least, Justin Hammer has to stay here." Ivan Vanko raised an arm as energy gathered, issuing a vicious threat.

"Super V, take them and leave. I've got this." Tony Stark stood in front of Super V.

"Forget it. With injuries like yours, you'd just be throwing your life away. As for his opponent, he's already here."

"Who? Another superhero? Electro? Translucent?" Tony Stark asked anxiously.

"Damn it!" Hearing their conversation, Ivan Vanko immediately attacked in their direction, but Andrew effortlessly neutralized it with Psychic Power.

The sound of footsteps slowly entered the battlefield.

"Hm?" Tony Stark and Ivan Vanko both looked toward the newcomer with puzzled expressions.

"Who are you?" Ivan Vanko's dark voice carried a trace of anxious frustration at losing control of the situation.

"Just a Kamen Rider." John Walker took out a belt and put it around his waist.

Henshin.

A lemon-patterned Lockon was inserted into the belt's special slot.

Lemon.

Lockon.

A circular zipper appeared in the space above. Once it opened, a lemon armor descended onto the humanoid figure, its light flashing.

Kamen Rider Duke.

What appeared before them was a form that fused technology with the aura of a warrior. It was mysterious and imposing, making everyone instinctively feel its overwhelming presence and combat strength.

Was that nanotechnology, or some kind of projection-equipped armor? Tony Stark was deeply shocked by John Walker's transformation.

"What a long-winded sound effect." Ivan Vanko snorted disdainfully.

Fortress Mode. The Eisenach Armor's legs split apart and rooted themselves into the ground, while support struts shot from its back and embedded themselves in the earth to increase stability. The armor's body began operating as the gun barrels on its back, the cannons on both shoulders, and the spiral firing devices raised from its arms activated. Small missile ports opened along the fronts of its thighs. In Fortress Mode, the Eisenach Armor became an impregnable stronghold, capable of withstanding fierce enemy attacks while retaliating with overwhelming firepower.

"The Eisenach Armor has four modes: Fortress, Rapid, Assault, and Energy. All I can say is that I really want to kill you, Tony Stark!" Ivan Vanko shouted.

"Die!"

In Fortress Mode, the armor's gun barrels and cannon barrels simultaneously spewed bullets and missiles, bombarding Tony and Rhodey's position in a dense, orderly barrage. The ground instantly exploded beneath the bombardment, and smoke and dust filled the air.

Kamen Rider Duke, transformed by John Walker, raised the Sonic Arrow.

Sonic Volley.

An energy arrow shot out from the smoke and dust, flying directly toward Ivan Vanko inside the Eisenach Armor.

"Fortress Mode possesses not only powerful saturating firepower, but powerful defense as well." Ivan Vanko controlled the Eisenach Armor's legs and arms to close together, forming a hard, thick wall.

Bang!

The energy arrow struck the hard wall, forcing the Eisenach Armor to slowly retreat and leaving trails carved into the earth.

Kamen Rider Duke, transformed by John Walker, tightly gripped the Sonic Arrow in his hand, his eyes fixed resolutely on the Eisenach Armor controlled by Ivan Vanko.

"Ivan Vanko, your Fortress Mode may be impregnable, but I will never retreat!" John Walker's voice carried unwavering determination.

"Ha ha ha, clown. Do you think you can stand against my powerful armor? I'll make you pay a painful price!" Ivan Vanko replied mockingly.

The two launched into a fierce confrontation, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Duke swiftly flashed away, becoming a lightning-like blur as he evaded the Eisenach Armor's attacks. He moved flexibly across the battlefield, using the Sonic Arrow's ranged attacks and his reaction speed to constantly probe the armor's weaknesses.

The bullets and missiles fired by the Eisenach Armor formed dense bursts of sparks in midair, but John Walker skillfully avoided most of the attacks, suffering only minor injuries. Using the Sonic Arrow in his hand, he launched targeted counterattacks against the armor, doing his best to weaken its defenses.

Rumble...

The battle entered a stalemate as John Walker and Ivan Vanko tested each other's strength. Their moves were swift and fierce, every collision igniting showers of sparks.

"You're still not strong enough! I'll make you understand that no matter how powerful an armor is, it can never stop the power of justice!" John Walker roared, and powerful energy waves burst from Kamen Rider Duke's entire body.
