The Awakening: 2

Time skip ~ 1 week.

Victor and Tony were flying in the TE-1000X towards Afghanistan for presenting the Jericho missiles to the military. The Jericho missile is designed for the United States Air Force by Stark Industries.

Tony – Victor your Trident company is good. They even produce private jets like this. All the products in the Trident are always very different from the other companies. I think William has a great part in it.

Victor – William always stubborn in products. He only wants unique and reliable products.

Tony – Now, this jet I bought last year from Trident is one of the 10 models in the world. Even if I sell it to others I can expect a good profit. The value of jets has increased every year.

Victor – Are you not afraid of going to war covered country like Afghanistan?

Tony – We have our military soldiers for our safety anyway. They will take care of it.

Victor – But their weapons seem to be only of light weapons. It will hard to defend against the grenades and other powerful weapons right.

Tony – I also think so. But no one dares to go against the American government.

Victor – Okay, but are you sure that the weapons made by Stark industries will not go into the wrong hands?

Tony – No, my uncle will have complete control over it. So, it will not go into the wrong hands.

Victor can only smile and they talked until the jet reached the airport. The jet landed and with soldiers safeguarding Tony and Victor, they moved towards the place of demonstration. The soldiers are also protecting Victor because of the Trident industries. Trident may not be a missiles manufacturing company but they are helping the government in building warships, fighter jets, etc for the military. William is not worried about Victor's safety. While Victor also mentioned the attack Tony is going to face in Afghanistan in advance to not make him worried.

Victor (POV)

The Jericho missile presentation went good with Tony speech and demonstration. After the demonstration, we are returning to the airport. I sensed the people with weapons waiting for attacking us. Just like that, we got attacked and Tony got injured. The only difference is I also got captured with Tony.

It became big news in American media. But William was not worried about Victor. But it was not the same for Pepper Potts, she was the person most worried about Tony's safety.

While in the cave of Nine rings.

Tony who woke up from his sleep saw Victor talking with a middle-aged man. They saw him when Tony tried to get some water in the glass nearby but it fell to the floor. Tony also shocked to see the wires going into his chest.

Victor explained how Yinsen saved Tony's life with an electromagnet to avoid the shrapnel from digging into Tony's heart.

Victor – We are held here as captives by Nine-rings terrorist groups. They want something from you and me.

Tony – I won't yield to their wishes.

Yinsen – They will make you yield.

Victor – First thing they will do is to threaten you with the life of me and Yinsen.

Suddenly, they heard a sound from the metal door.

Yinsen – Stand up fastly, also raise your hand to avoid getting beaten by them.

Leader – Welcome Tony stark. The mass murderer in the history of the world. We want you. We want you to make the Jericho missiles you demonstrated for us.

Yinsen translated the language to Tony.

Victor – Don't reject it for now. We can make a plan to escape her.

Tony can only nod to their order.

Leader – Thanks for yielding without resistance. Don't try anything that will cause your death.

This time Victor himself translated for Tony. Tony was surprised to hear it from Victor.

Victor – Don't look at me like that. I know more than 5 languages.

Victor (POV)

After the Nine rings left, Tony started to plan his escape. In the evening every material got transported to their room. Tony got shocked to see his company weapons in the terrorist's hand and decided to build a mini Arc reactor for safeguarding his heart first. Then he started making the armour for fighting against them.

Just like that, Tony completed his works earlier than he expected with the physical works I learned in the Meng dynasty. This time design of the Mark-1 is a little different with the eyes of the armour with a small gap to avoid the bullets entering through them accidentally. The gaps in the outer armour are also reduced significantly with my welding and crafting. With that, the manoeuvrability of Mark – 1 also got increased.

Just like the plan, Tony secretly built a large suit of Mark - I to escape from the cave. Just like in the plot we got discovered, Yinsen and I bought time for Tony to fit his Mark-I by firing the Nine rings people with a G36C Assault Rifle. But Yinsen got surrounded by dozen terrorists and they shot him without mercy. Yinsen was fatally wounded but I helped him by killing the terrorists. When Tony in the Mark-I armour, caught up with us. Yinsen has already lost a lot of blood and Yinsen asked us to leave him there. Yinsen wished to die and be reunited with his family who died years ago. He wants to see them in the afterlife. Yinsen also reminded Tony not to waste his life before he died.

Tony who got angered started killing the Nine rings, troops. I followed Tony while killing the terrorists. With Tony, I fly towards the military base but the boosters suddenly stopped working we crashed into the desert. We left the parts of armour in desserts and started walking. But I secretly burned half the blueprints and designs of Mark-I for causing trouble to Obaidah Stain the Ironmonger.

After walking for 6 hours we are spotted by the American military helicopter and transported to their military base. Later we are transported to America safely.

During the flight to America.

Victor – What are you planning to do?

Tony – I am going to stop the production of military weapons.

Victor – But you shouldn't do that. Because your company is the leader in missiles technology. So, you can control the market and who buy your weapons. But if other companies become the leader in weapons you can't guarantee their weapons will be used correctly. But your company can also focus on developing the lives of the people who got affected by your weapons with money got from selling them in future. So, use the money from selling weapons for charity. Children's who lost their parents in the war is common among these countries.

Tony – I will think about that.

While the jet moved towards California.
