The missile hit the icicle, causing the ice to shatter. Yaoyorozu finished creating the cannon and fired it at a helicopter. It went up in flames crashing into the cliffside. The other four helicopters opened their sides, and half a dozen missiles flew toward the house. Tododoki shot a beam of fire into one of the helicopters, destroying it while creating an ice wall to try and intercept the missiles. Only two missiles hit the wall of ice. The other missiles hit the cliff beneath the wall. The entire house shook.
"If they fire another volley," J.A.R.V.I.S. said, "and it hits the cliffside, this house will go down."
Another volley was fired. Todoroki picked up Yaoyorozu and ran for the front door. They heard an explosion underneath them, and the house began falling apart. They made it to the front door just as the house fell. They saw the helicopters turning and flying away.
"Where are they going?" Todoroki asked.
"Likely to Mister Stark's home in Malibu," J.A.R.V.I.S. said, "The quinjet is cloaked for now. Jump on in, and we can take those guys down before they reach him."
They didn't respond as they saw something in the distance. They saw some military looking men coming for them. About three dozen of them. They got behind the quinjet after it was visible. Yaoyorozu created a pair of binoculars and looked at the group. She saw a few glowing fists and even some glowing heads. She gave them to Todoroki, and he saw the same.
"How do we do this?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"If we can trap them in cold," Todoroki said, "they should be dealt with."
He put his right hand on the ground and ice shot out from their position. All of the military men were encased in ice. Yaoyorozu's smile went away fast when the military men's bodies all glowed orange, and they were able to shatter the ice, freeing them.
"I don't think it worked," she said.
Todoroki looked and was confused.
"That's impossible," he said, "that should have made it impossible for them to move."
"Their entire bodies glowed. What if the explosions that were over 3000 degrees were from something in their bodies? Something that would superheat them?"
"Like a really bad fever?"
"Like an actual fire that they can call forth."
"Then that means they're able to withstand extreme heat and extreme cold. They can also heal, so any damage we do to them will amount to nothing."
"Todoroki, I think I have a plan."
After she told him, they decided to follow it. Todoroki stepped out of hiding. One of the men walked forward.
"Who are you supposed to be," he asked, "some kid still obsessed with Halloween? I can't even tell what you're supposed to be!"
"I am Shoto," he said, "and you are all ticking bombs that need to be defused. To save the lives of many people on this earth, I will stop you."
He stepped his right foot forward, trapping the "soldiers" completely in ice and giving the ground a three inch layer of ice. They began glowing orange, and the ice slowly began melting. A cannon fired on a group of three, shattering the ice around them and sending them flying high. Todoroki began sliding around the ice, making ice walls that skewered many of them, keeping them occupied in their attempts to unfreeze themselves. Yaoyorozu was skating around, cutting through their necks with a sword. The plan wasn't an honorable one, but it would let them win.

"I've been thinking," Yaoyorozu said, "these things can heal like nomu, right?"
