Monster

Tony's hand tightened around the sword, his body prone on the ground, every inch of his being transformed into a sheen of obsidian metal. His eyes glowed an intense crimson, emanating an aura of malevolence. With a swift, brutal motion, Tony shattered the sword into fragments, rising to his feet with unnatural agility. He lunged at Stark, his grip constricting around the villain's neck, and Stark sensed the imminent danger radiating from this monstrous incarnation.

Summoning his formidable powers, Stark conjured a devastating explosion, propelling himself away from Tony's clutches. However, before Stark's feet could even touch the ground, Tony materialized before him, launching a ferocious assault. His fingers, honed to a razor's edge, sliced through the air like blades, capable of shearing through even the toughest of metals. Tony's onslaught continued unabated, blood gushing from Stark's wounds, his strength waning with every strike. Unleashing a powerful kick to Stark's chest, Tony sent him hurtling to the ground, his form a crumpled heap.

Tony advanced, a specter of fear incarnate, his once-imposing suit now in tatters. Undeterred, Stark conjured a colossal hammer, leaping towards Tony in a desperate bid to strike back. Yet, with a mere flick of his hand, Tony effortlessly cleaved the hammer into fragments. Unfazed, Stark forged a sword mid-air, aiming to impale Tony's neck. Yet, Tony intercepted the assault with his bare hand, halting the blade's deadly trajectory, and delivered a resounding slap to Stark's face. He followed up with a barrage of punches, each blow met with bone-crushing force.

With another punishing strike to Stark's chin, Tony launched him skyward before swooping in with blistering speed, clutching the villain's leg and hurtling him towards the earth. Tony's foot descended upon Stark's head, the impact reverberating with a bone-shattering crunch. But in a stunning turn of events, Stark had set a trap during his fall, ensnaring Tony in its clutches.

"I'll need some time to dismantle this trap, Stark. Your feeble attempts hold no power over me! What will that time buy you?" Tony declared with an air of smug confidence.

Stark produced a knife, aiming to deliver a fatal blow to himself, startling Tony. However, before the blade could reach its mark, Viole materialized, thrusting his hand into Stark's body, sealing him within. The act pierced Stark's flesh, a final bid to halt his malevolence.

"Tony, I shall return. Attend to the others in my absence," Viole instructed before vanishing, taking Stark with him.
