"Tony! It's Tony!"
"He's here to save these refugees!"
"I thought he would only pretend, but I didn't expect him to actually do this."
"Those who complain about Tony online are clearly wrong!"
"How can such a handsome mecha pilot be a villain?"
"He's a superhero! And he landed flawlessly!"
"Epic!"
"Thank you, there is no war today thanks to you."
[ The terrorists stared at Tony's mecha in horror, aiming their machine guns at the women and children to threaten him. Tony slowly lowered his arm. The energy cannon in his palm dimmed, and the icy mecha mask seemed to let go of anger.]
[Jarvis switched the targeting system to lock onto all the terrorists. In the next instant, the shoulder-mounted magazine opened, and bullets rained down, instantly taking out several terrorists. The panic among the women and children gradually subsided, and a child ran over to hug their parent tightly.]
[Tony punched through the wall, dragged the terrorist leader out, and slammed him to the ground. The thrusters ignited, and Tony lifted off. A voice came from the mecha: "At your service."]
[The refugees watched Tony leave, a mix of awe and relief on their faces.]
[ Tony raced at incredible speed toward the base where the missile was stored.]
[ Bang! A cannon shell struck him. ]
[ Tony climbed out of the crater, firing a small missile from his right hand that obliterated the armored vehicle attacking him. He then lifted off, aimed at the Jericho missile at the base, bounced energy through both palms, and fired the energy cannon for two seconds. Every missile produced by Stark Industries was destroyed. ]
The audience in the stream room reacted in shock and awe.
"The missiles… destroyed?"
"Who dares call him a devil? He's saving lives!"
"But with just his strength, he's taking on the war…"
"It's… a little sad."
"A lone hero. I respect him."
"Missiles are expensive, yet Tony destroys them all decisively!"
Many viewers were deeply moved by Tony's actions, so rewards and donations surged immediately. Even the keyboard warriors who doubted Tony's control over such power were silent.
Footage of Tony's past feats continued to circulate.
[ Tony, wearing the Mark 3, soared into the sky at extreme speed, eventually being detected by military radar. In the base, an officer stared at the radar and asked solemnly, "What is that? Have we cleared entry permission?" ]
[ "Approval will not be given." ]
[ Another officer said, "Activate full security. It must be hostile." ]
[ "Turn on monitoring." ]
[ "A UFO? This isn't a military aircraft!" ]
[ "Have you contacted the CIA?" ]
["Yes, they were just about to ask if it was us."]
[ Unidentified aircraft entering restricted airspace caused the base atmosphere to tense instantly. ]
[ "Sir, this is not our aircraft, navy, army, nor marines." ]
[ "We need answers! Can we see the target?" ]
[ "No! Cannot confirm!" ]
[ "Call Colonel Roddy from weapon development immediately!" ]
[ The commander addressed Roddy: "We've checked all databases. Nothing matches this target." ]
[ Roddy asked: "Is there high-altitude surveillance in that area?" ]
[ "Yes. Airborne early warning and global Hawkeye detectors cover it." ]
[ Roddy: "So this thing appeared out of nowhere?" ]
[ "The radar reflection is extremely small, sir." ]
[ "Is it stealth tech?" ]
[ "No, it's simply too small to detect." ]
[ Behind Tony, two fighter jets suddenly appeared. ]
["Command room, this is Whiplash 1. I see it!"]
[ Roddy: "Whiplash 1, identify the target." ]
[ "I don't know. Radio contact attempted, no response." ]
[ "Then engage." ]
"Attack him!?"
"I can't. Tony just saved many civilians."
"Two fighters? Can his suit even escape? It's so slim."
"He's a hero. Why attack him?"
Online viewers were furious but powerless to prevent the fighters from locking on.
[ "Engaging!" ]
[ Tony's suit accelerated past the speed of sound, racing with the fighters. ]
["It broke the sound barrier! Lock confirmed!" The missile from Whiplash 1 launched, closing in on Tony.]
[ Tony twisted the magazine in his leg, disrupting the missile's incendiary release. ]
[ Boom! Flames erupted midair. Tony was hit but remained in control. ]
[ Tony calmly commanded, "Deploy ailerons!" ]
[ The ailerons deflected, slowing the suit sharply as the fighters sped past. ]
[ "Target lost from radar. Satellite imagery gone." The pilot muttered, "It can't be an unmanned fighter." ]
[ "No visual confirmation." ]
[ "Whatever it is, it left nothing behind." ]
[ Roddy's phone rang. "Hello?" ]
[ "Roddy, it's me." ]
[ Roddy puzzled: "Tony?" ]
[ Tony: "Sorry. The flying object you asked about… that's me." ]
[ Roddy: "Do not interfere with civilian equipment on my battlefield!" ]
[ Tony: "This isn't equipment. I'm the pilot, and this is my suit." ]
[ Roddy, bewildered and contacted the pilot, "Return to base." ]
[ Pilot: "Received." ]
[ The fighter rolled, allowing its underside to face another fighter. A gold-red mecha is grabbing onto the fighter's belly. ]
[ "It's on your belly! Human-shaped! Roll over! Roll over!" ]
[ The fighter executed a difficult maneuver, placing Tony in extreme danger. Then, Tony was tossed violently, colliding with another fighter jet. ]
[ "I've been hit!" ]
["Eject! Skydiving! Quick!"]
[ "Whiplash 1 is down." ]
[ "Whiplash 2, can you see the chute?" ]
["No, not yet!"]
[ Gravity accelerated the fall. The pilot could barely deploy the parachute, almost certainly facing death, "My chute is stuck!" ]
[ Base personnel watched quietly as the ground approached, then a light streak descended from the sky; it was Tony. ]
[ Jarvis: "Locked again! Evasion mode!" ]
[Tony, focused, said: "Keep going!"]
[ The suit intercepted the pilot. Tony punched the parachute trigger, causing it to be deployed safely. Cheers erupted across the base. ]
[ Tony spiraled through the air, evading the fighter's pursuit. ]
From eliminating terrorists to rescuing refugees and confronting fighters, Tony's actions were breathtaking, leaving audiences on edge. Public sentiment shifted dramatically.
"A person handling two fighter jets? Incredible!"
"Who says Tony will lose control? Stand up if you dare!"
"He risked his life to save a pilot first, even under fire."
"If he's using his suit to save people, there's nothing wrong with that."
"He seeks atonement for past deeds and the company's mistakes."
"Haha! Tony is amazing! Alone, controlling the battlefield."
"Truly awesome. Let's hope he survives."
"Poisoning? That's… miserable."
"Genius shouldn't be treated like this!"
"Tony is a true hero!"
