Meanwhile, a second battlefield opened aboard the Helicarrier.
Tony, Krillin, and Tien Shinhan stood at the Helicarrier's highest point.
A beam blasted Tony's armor away and embedded it in the steel plating at the top.
The mechanical armor shattered, scattering pieces everywhere.
Tony shook his dazed head. Although he wasn't inside that suit, he had remained connected to its balance system when it was smashed.
Tony's eyes blazed with uncontrollable fury. "You shriveled piece of tree bark! Stop running if you've got the guts, and fight me to the death!"
"Heh, just you?" Ebony Maw stood with his hands behind his back, the Mind Scepter floating beside him. "My allies? Aren't you coming out yet?"

"Is it finally time for our Wilder Sect to steal the spotlight?"

Nick Fury heard the news over the communications channel, and his expression was quite a sight-his dark face grew even darker!
He froze in place as though electrocuted, his mind completely blank!
Nick Fury had long been prepared for Freddy's disappearance, and even for the possibility that Freddy might turn against S.H.I.E.L.D., but he had never expected Freddy to show up here.

Their alliance was absolutely disastrous news!
"Go do what you need to do. Leave this to me," Freddy said in a low, raspy voice.
Alarm bells rang in Tony's mind. "What are you planning?"
Several suits of mechanical armor charged toward Ebony Maw.
Krillin and Tien Shinhan charged as well.
"Your opponent... is me... Don't underestimate me..." Freddy revealed
