V3 Chapter 27 - Mining Adventure
(AN - Happy New Year to all my dear readers and sorry for the long absence, I had a cast on my right hand due to xxxx reason which I will not mention which recently came off now without further delay. Here is the first chapter of the year, Enjoy. )
This is your MC Ryan narrating my story LIVE from Stark Expo 2010.
So Where were we last time?
The song, yes?
It's like I woke up from a nightmare...
.
.
If it's the last thing I'll ever do...
That song was ominous.
Why!?
Because right now I was standing in front of a fully armed robot with its weapons armed and pointing at me contemplating the chances of my survival when it does fire its weapons at me.
And let me tell you the statistics look bleak to me.
/KRRICK/
As I heard the sound of small hatches opening on the shoulders of the robot.
And with another sound of gears I ...
...(in the night) pray(ed) to god, man I hope I don't die.
Meanwhile, as god ponders how to respond to my prayers let's flashback to how I got here.
...It's like I woke up from a nightmare....
...nightmare...nightmare...
As I listened to the song and pedalled towards the main pavilion I saw Iron Man shooting out of the building flying around chased by UAVs or flying unmanned robots, maybe a manned one too.
Followed by a few squads of robots walking out of the main pavilion targetting him too.
After I stopped a bit and confirmed that Mr. Sperhero was their main target I got off my bike and discreetly made my way towards a fallen comrade of the robot corps.
'This is Chaos.'
'Hearing about something and seeing the process can be two very different things.'
I thought for I saw them firing missiles randomly at various structures, injuring people in the process.
'If it is so bad here then what was it like during the Battle of New York?'
As I got a panoramic view of the chaotic situation I could not help but question myself about what was to come.
I saw the crowd hurriedly trying to get to safety and made sure to stay out of the bombardment area as there was nothing much I could do to help in this situation.
On my way to search for a mining location, I saw The Black Widow dressed in black hurriedly getting in an Audi with Happy Hogan.
As if feeling my gaze she turned to look at me but I hurriedly looked away, I saw her get into the car and they drove off.
I quickly took my mind off them and started looking around for unclaimed Arc Reactors.
After seeing a robot being shot down and making sure it was down for the count, I pulled my weapon which is a hybrid/crossbreed of a planting tube and a core drill with some mechanisms inside the tube for pulling and locking things in place.
Its body is made of chromium and the drill is composed of teeth made with a diamond edge, a high-powered compact motor to power the drill's rotation along with some spare parts in my bag and with a socket for an arc reactor for a power source on the top.
It has a small battery which will last long enough for me to at least pull out one arc reactor to use as the primary power source.
(AN- The image with description.)
Placing the weapon on top of the Arc reactor I started up the motor and watched as it started drilling through the suit.
It took about 20 seconds to drill the suit.
After the arc reactor was out of the robot I took it out and placed it in the prepared space for the power source and turned the drill to the full overpowered mode setting that I personally added.
As I saw my plan actually working I started hunting for more victi..ahem, targets for extraction and as soon as I saw one I got to work.
I followed the fight in the sky and ground as I watched Iron Man fly around taking out hostiles keeping an eye for dropped robots and soon found another.
This time it only took 5-6 seconds, HOORAY to Overpower.
After checking again that the robots weren't trying to randomly kill people anymore I continued on with my heist.
While searching for targets and helping some people evacuate I smoothly made progress with both objectives.
Soon the number of Arc reactors in my possession including the one powering my weapon reached 4 and that's when the tragedy struck.
The smooth progress made me let down my guard and gave rise to overconfidence
As I was enjoying my mining game on the fifth fallen target which happened to be some distance away from an active robot but as I had already confirmed they did not attack even when someone passed by I ignored it and pointed my weapon at the fallen target.
I made a mistake, as it soon approached and pointed its weapons at me.
And that's when I knew I F**ked UP.
As I pondered over the cause of this hostile encounter I thought the Villain wanted to eliminate me to save the Arc Reactors but I soon overruled that possibility.
'Nah, that can't be it. He was not the one who paid for it so he shouldn't feel bad.'
I thought to myself.
So the only option left is.....THE (Black Iron Man)MASK.
'DAMMIT, I should've gone with a Batman mask instead. c(T~T').'
"Well, SHIT!"
As I stared at the robot readying myself and praying for some miracle to happen.
And looks like GOD was in a good mood as MIRACLE did HAPPEN.

Meanwhile, at the same time in another place at the Expo.
As Ryan faced with death another similar scene was played out in a nearby the first pavilion where a robot aimed at a kid named Tom...cough, Peter wearing a Red and Gold Iron Man mask.
As Tony Stark who was flying through the air saw this scene he hurriedly dropped down behind the kid blasted, off the robot and flew away after saving the day.
What he did now know is that the kid he saved today is someone...
...who will grow up to become...
