"Shit, I should have made an extra arc reactor," Tony uttered as he felt the old version of his arc reactor barely keeping up with the power supply of his new suit and keeping him alive at the same time.

But that still didn't stop him. No, he had a job to do and that was to stop Obadiah and show him who the real talent behind Stark Industries was. He also wanted to make sure that his tech was never again abused by people like Obadiah who had sold the very weapons he designed to terrorists and other criminal organizations or dictator-run countries.

That was the reason he was currently flying with absolute anger burning in his eyes to the Stark Industries facility where Obadiah had once again managed to steal the technology behind his armor as well as his arc reactor technology to profit off.

As he came closer to the facility, he could hear the sounds of panic and terror coming from that direction including the sounds of bullet shots and missiles.

"What? Jarvis, please tell me what I am seeing isn't correct. There must be something wrong with the suit's sensors." Tony asked as he looked at the massive armor Obadiah was wearing. The base design looked mostly similar to his own design that he had made back in Afghanistan to escape from the Ten Rings, except for the fact that the armor had a lot of additional upgrades including state-of-the-art kinetic robotic propulsion technology and what looked like massive targetted missile launchers on its back.

"Jarvis, search up if you find anything similar to those design changes in that armor," Tony ordered, positive that Obadiah and his team of mediocre scientists could not come up with those improvements and upgrades in those armor designs themselves. Either they had outside help or they simply stole it from someone.

"Got it, Sir... The upgrades seem to be heavily copied from prototype droids that were being researched under the name, the Sentinel project in the mid-90s by a tech firm called Trask Industries under the leadership of Bolivar Trask, the lead researcher of the project as well as the then-CEO of the company. But after his tragic demise, the company was acquired and merged by Meta Enterprises to boost their AI and robotics research projects although no product or news about the projects had since been released to the public." Jarvis helpfully informed.

"Meta Enterprises? Huh, so are they helping Obadiah as a ploy against Stark Industries, or did Obadiah simply steal their research projects?" Tony wondered aloud.

But he didn't dwell on this line of thought for long as he boosted towards the Iron Monger, deciding to figure everything out later when he was free and when his only secretary was not being chased by a revengeful iron giant.

"This is amazing. This is what true unbridled power feels like, the power that you can only have in the great nation of America." Obadiah Stane laughed like a maniac as he tested out his huge ironmonger armor while shooting bullets all around.

"Well, you know, they say that in America, we also have the right to free speech, but that doesn't mean we have to shout our opinions from the rooftop. It's called the 'right to remain silent,' buddy! So, do me a favor and shut up." Tony landed with a thud in front of the huge Iron Giant.

"Tony Stark, always the man of the hour, always the one stealing my spotlight. I will make you pay for all the times you and your stupid father underestimated me, how you two undermined my talent and I will prove that I am better than you both." Stane showed a bloodthirsty grin as he prepared to attack.
