Chapter 10: Revenge of the Slime

The slime charges toward me, each steps makes a huge boom. The slime suddenly does a huge jump towards me, jumping higher than ten feet. I aim my shadow cannon at it but before I can shoot Tony throws himself at the slime with his repulsors blazing.

"I really hate you, it was way too hard to clean up your goop last time, and now you're huge." Tony says with a exasperated tone.

"DIE!" The slime shouts back, before swatting Tony away like a fly.

The slime turns back to me virtually unharmed, anywhere it was hit by Tony's repulsors are replaced by more slime. I raise my left gauntlet once again, but Tony doesn't give up and flies back. The slime monster yells and grabs Tony in one of his gigantic hands.

Then the slime…EATS IRON MAN. My jaw drops as Tony begins to drown in the monsters slime body. I point my shadow cannon at it.

"SPIT HIM OUT!"

"NO!"

"DO IT!"

"NOOO!"

"Please?"

"…No."

That's when I shoot out a huge shadow blast that I manipulate into missiles that explode when they hit him. This makes the slime stumble backwards.

"SPIT HIM OUT!!" I yell as I take off and fire my repulsor and shadow cannon at it while flying around it.

"NOOOOO!!" It yells back as it swats at me.

I do a cool little flip around his outstretched hand before releasing charge from the shadow cannon that I had held for a while. This time I manipulated the shadows into a blade that is aimed at one of the slime monster's legs.

The blade cut through most of the leg, but it reattached back really quickly. The slime had used the moment I shot the blast and focused on manipulating it to give me slimiest and loudest slap of all-time.

I catapult straight into the wall before emerging much more shaken up than before.

'That was like a belly flop times a billion.'

My suit is completely ruined after the slap, nothings working any more. I fall to my knees, before looking up at the body of the monster. That's when I see Tony's body, inside the slime.,

'You can't give up Morgan. Think…that's right, the blade!"

I look around desperately for the Ebony Blade, I finally see it on the ground, 10 feet away.

'It's now or never.'

"Hey slime ball, last chance. Surrender and I'll let you crawl into the sewers or something."

The slime monster responds by picking up a broken piece of wall and throwing it at me. I dodge and release as much of my shadowy fog/smoke as I can. Then I dash for the sword, when I reach it I turn to see the monster barrel through the smoke blindly. I take a deep breath, before grabbing the blade with my left hand.

My eyes go pitch black, a shadowy shock wave rips through my surroundings, knocking down the slime monster. I look around, and then all hell breaks loose.

///Later///

I regain consciousness in the middle of a wreckage. Bodies, rubble, slime, slime…and more slime everywhere. I remember what happened before I picked up the Ebony Blade and desperately look around for Tony.

When I find his body on top of a little pool slime, I shake him till he wakes up and vomits out A LOT of slime.

"What just happened?" He finally says after an intense vomiting session.

"You were eaten by the slime." I respond.

"Wow…just wow."

I let him sit and rest while I search for the Ebony Blade. I finally see it, embedded into the slime monsters head. I leave it there for a robot to pick up later for me. We're about to leave when I remember that I should look if TS-40 is still alive. (She hasn't told MC name yet)

I look around, but don't see her body anywhere.

'That's one more problem for the future. Why can't everything be simple and straightforward?'

///1 Day Later///

I'm watching the news right now and it's…horrible.

"Tony Stark, the Iron Man, has confirmed that he was aided by his adoptive son Morgan Stark in taking down a branch of an illegal lab known as S.T.A.R. Labs. He is being heralded as a great superhero, just like his adoptive father. Some are even labeling him by the of Iron Boy."

"NOOOOO!!!"

///1 Week Later///

I've managed to convince MOST people to not call me Iron Boy, but some people (B******) decide to still call me it. One surprising thing is that J. Jonah Jameson is basically worshipping me. I guess he has no problem with me because I use my real identity. Unfortunately, I have bigger problems to worry about, like this ball that Tony is making me go to.

Apparently the Frost family's Emma Frost's birthday is coming up and she's my age. Their having a ball for her and Emma's father wants me to be her partner. The Frost family is super rich and Emma Frost will manifest very powerful mutations and I'd like to make her a resource for the future, but do I have to go to a ball with her. I mean, come on.

I have to spend time with her to, "deepen," our relationship. I think this is Tony's way of torturing me.

///Emma Frost's POV///

'I cannot believe that my parents are making me have a ball for my birthday, and to have that mysterious Stark boy as my partner. I don't even know him, father just told me that he's the most suitable marriage candidate for me. I mean, I've seen the pictures, I know he's ho-…great looking, but I should have a choice of who I marry, right?'

I'm on my way to meet him for the first time now, we have to take dancing lessons together.

'I really hope he's not a creep.' I think right before I open the door to the room Morgan is in.

When I look inside, I realize that Morgan is even more good looking in person than on the photos.

"Hello, I'm Morgan. It's nice to meet you." He says.

"I'm Emma, it's nice to meet you as well." I say in a nervous voice.

'What's gotten in to you Emma, come on, act confidant.'

Then I slip and start to fall when I'm caught by Morgan. When I look into his eyes, I realize that the I might actually enjoy my birthday.
