Chapter 96 - Convergence Part 4 (1/2)
Tony looked at the weird man in the cap as he raised his hand at him. The comment about his suit stung just enough that he moved his arm to aim his repulsors. Just as he was about to tear this old guy a new one the suit locked up and started to creak.
Jarvis's startled voice instantly sparked over the comms, as Tony groaned in pain. ”Sir, an unknown force is affecting the outer hull! Suit integrity is rapidly failing!” ”What the hell is going on! What the hell are you doing to my suit?!” Tony shouted as the suit was dragged slowly towards Magneto.
”Homosapien's and their toys.” Magneto let out a condescending smirk as he slowly continued to crush the Iron Man armour. Turning off his speakers after such a response as they were breaking anyway, he started to brain storm ideas with Jarvis. ”Jarvis analyze what is going on and find a solution fast!” Tony's voice was starting to panic. ”Right away Sir.”
”Stop Magneto!” Rogue and Nightcrawler couldn't sit idly by as Magneto started to kill Iron Man in front of them. Forgetting about Kimura, who was still staring intently at Laura, Rogue flew into the air closing in on Magneto fast.
*Puff* Nightcrawler beat her to the punch though as he disappeared from his spot and appeared right next to Magneto ready to teleport him somewhere else, possibly take his helmet. They had both been taught by the professor to help those in need. Plus Iron Man was a hero like them, even if they were in disagreement just seconds ago.
Just as Nightcrawler appeared next to Magneto and tried to grab him, someone else stopped him ”Your fights with me blue boy!” The slight nasally voice of Toad sounded out as he wrapped his legs around Nightcrawlers body and threw him out of the way.
”Aww god man you stink.” *Puff* With those words both of them disappeared to a different side of the street, starting a small brawl. Rogue spared them a small glance before picking up her speed, ready to deliver a crushing blow to the leader of the Brotherhood.
The Blob, in a surprising show of speed, appeared in front of her just before she could land the blow though and all the force got sucked up into his stomach. With a bear hug Rogue became pinned to his body and even started to sink in a little. ”Haha, you smell nice.” Rogue was not amused by that comment. ”I'm going to knock you block off you f.u.c.kin…mmph”
Rogue started cussing up a storm as she flew into the air, completely blind to where she was going. While she couldn't hurt the Blob, she still had enough strength to pick him up off the ground. But with both of the X-men dealing with their own fights there was no one left to help Iron man.
The armour showed cracks already and sparks were going everywhere. Kimura seemed oblivious to the other groups and had instead focused back in on Laura. Sprinting forwards the two started trading blows using all the moves and styles of martial arts they knew.
Though Laura had speed and agility that trumped Kimura none of her blows could harm her. She was laughing like a madman as blow after blow impacted her body and did nothing. Kimura was trying to pull her close and put her into a grapple again, while Laura had to dodge each attempt.
”Sir, there seems to be a magnetic field emanating from the enemies body, it has constricted around the suit and will crush us if something isn't done soon.” Tony mind worked a mile a minute as he hoped the rest of the team got there soon. He was starting to have trouble breathing.
Going off the information that Jarvis just provided, if he were able to produce an EMP, he could disrupt the magnetic field being produced. ”Jarvis, is there enough power too…” Tony trailed off as his mind struggled for oxygen, in a few more seconds he would be dead.
He couldn't even reach for his neck in a desperate attempt to relieve the constriction of his suit. Just as everything started to turn black, a blue and red blur flew by aimed right at Magneto! *Crash* None of the Brotherhood could react before it slammed into the helmet and knocked back their leader.
His body tumbled to the ground for a second as his head rung in pain. The blue and red blur bounced off the helmet straight for Tony's suit, cracking the visor of the suit open and letting air rush into his lung! *Hup* Tony sucked in gulps of air as he spluttered on the ground; he was able to move, albeit slowly in his wrecked armour.
