RHODEY: Yo! Tony!
Hey big shot!
Why so down? You beat Stane!
In a few months, Stark International will be yours!
Which mean free donuts from the company commissary
for like ever! Hmm! Donuts!
I know you!
You're still upset about Stane being in a coma.
You're not? I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone.
Not even Stane.
[clink]
And there are other things that can be better.
Well, no big loss there.
Come on, Tony! Iron Monger is history
that's a positive!
[light music]
Think about Stark International!
All the good you can do with it.
Maybe... you're right.
Maybe things are getting better.
Ok, class! Pop quizz!
[general sigh]
No complaints, when you're finished, you can go.
[low bass melody]
Physics! Why does it have to be physics!
[fast countdown music]
[♪♪♪]
Definitely back to his old self.
And that's helping me, how?
Tony! Wait up!
Honestly, I think I did pretty good, this time out.
At least a B+...
- Tony... - Huh?
Hello? Who's there?
I'm... right here, Tony.
[eerie music]
MANDARIN: Greetings my old friends!
- Gene! - Mandarin!
Pepper Potts!
Tony Stark!
Or should I just call you...
Iron Man...
[ominous music]
[flash]
GENE: You can both relax.
I'm not going to hurt you.
PEPPER: Gene! I can't believe it!
This better be an apology, like the biggest
most massive apology in the history...
Not likely! Should've expected him to sneak up behind us.
He's great at stabbing people in the back!
I'm not here to fight. I promise you that.
In fact, I need your help.
Our help? After everything you did?
Lied to me about my father being alive!
Betraying all of us!
Betrayal is two-sided, Stark!
You lied to me about being Iron Man.
What are you doing here, Gene?
I've located another Makluan ring, but I've been unable to...
Wait! Another ring?
There's only five rings! You have them all!
You're wrong. After we defeated Fin Fang Foom
I discovered there are 10 rings in all.
[together] Ten?
I have seven. And I've located the 8th.
But I can't solve its riddle.
That's why I need your help.
With the 10 rings, I can bring order to this chaotic world.
You can forget it!
I'll never help you!
You're the worst kind of evil.
Thinking you can hurt people for your 'just' cause.
I'll give you something.
But I promise it won't be help.
[electronic music]
I hoped it wouldn't come to... Aaaargh!
[♪♪♪]
That's one way to stop your lying.
And I got a couple of new tricks!
[screams of pain]
[wham]
[grunts]
You're not the only one who is upgraded.
Each ring I aquire, enhances the others.
And the greater their power, the greater my power!
[dramatic music]
[yell]
[gasping]
[pain grunts]
MANDARIN: Had enough?
[♪♪♪]
I've had more than enough!
C+? I deserve at least a B!
[phone rings]
- Gene's back! - Gene?
Gene... As in... Gene Khan?
Do you know another Gene?
RHODEY: When, why? Where are you?
[bang followed by scream]
In an alley, downtown.
He and Tony are having a nice little chat.
Sounds like repulsives.
At least Tony's getting his two cents in.
Gene's doing most of the talking.
Tell Tony to hang in till I get there.
Would you care for a new look at my rings?
How about... Number 6?
[intense scream]
COMPUTER: Armor integrity compromized!
MANDARIN: The sixth ring acid cloud
can eat through any material
even your vanted armor!
COMPUTER: Breach imminent.
Gotta get this stuff off of me! Full power to shields!
[warped roar]
Sorry Mandarin! No rain cloud is going to stop me!
[full blast]
MANDARIN: That's the spirit, Iron Man!
[build-up]
[roars]
[coughing] That's new!
RHODEY: Pepper! What's all that racket?
You gonna want...
Hurry... I know!
[blast]
IRON MAN: That's all you got?
Such persistence...
That is why I need you to recover the 8th ring.
And I can help you...
Observe... The seventh ring...
PEPPER: Tony, what are you doing?
MANDARIN: It increases mental power...
All hidden knowledge can be accessed.
Would you like to know exactly what happened to your father?
He's gone!
You did it.
Didn't you?
No, Stark. Attaining the 8th ring
will make the 7th powerful enough to uncover the truth.
Help me, Tony.
- So, I can help you. - I'll help you.
- Tony! - I know what I'm doing.
No, you don't, man!
Are you insane?
I need precision fire, now!
COMPUTER: Target locked.
MANDARIN: It'll be just like old times.
PEPPER: Tony!
Pepper!
Wow, man!
Not... Good.
[eerie music]
[flash sound]
[sigh]
[mysterious music]
[sparks]
[blast and rumble]
[♪♪♪]
Follow me, you'll be safer out here, Pepper.
Don't you think, Tony?
He's right. The Temple Guardians.
I have no problems hanging out here.
All by myself! With the skakes... and desert spiders!
And the rabid camels.
[♪♪♪]
Ok! Let's go satellite mode.
Dad is totally gonna kill me when he gets my cellphone bill.
[Rocking music]
Tony? Do you read me? Pepper! Are you there?
[crackling frequency]
PEPPER! Rhodey, I read you! Sorta...
Where are you? I'm not picking up
the tracker on Tony's armor.
I'm outside a temple, in the desert somewhere.
- And it's night time. - Night?
You must be half way round the world.
This whole thing makes no sense.
Tony gets beat down by Gene...
And suddenly he's acting like they're best friends
and goes on a magic bubble ride with him?
I know, something's not right. He seems normal, but...
I think something's up, big time.
I've got your location: Egypt.
Oh, that is so cool!
I always wanted to go.
And... Now I'm here!
No pyramids, no sphynx, no Cairo, just a whole lotta...
sand...
[♪♪♪]
Computer!
Calculate an orbital re-entry in the fastest travel time.
PEPPER: Wait! Didn't War Machine
lose power last time you left the atmosphere?
You think Tony didn't upgrade this suit?
Come on, now! Of course he did! Better have!
[heavy industrial music]
[light suspense music]
[♪♪♪]
[suspense increasing]
[mechanical sound]
Look out!
I thank you but, I'm not even sure what I'm doing here.
Where's Pepper?
Rhodey?
[oriental music]
[large gong sound]
GENE: I've already translated the puzzle.
"Who would master the future...
must endure the pain of the past."
The ring is inside the grim reaper statue.
Get it for me.
Wait...
- Something's wrong! - Tony...
Get me the ring.
[stones locking]
[eerie music]
[blaze sound]
[struggle grunts]
[screaming] It burns!
GENE: Don't give up!
Use your will!
[screams]
[music quietens]
I knew you'd come through! Show it to me!
[♪♪♪]
[eerie buzz]
[♪♪♪]
Help me Tony... So I can help you...
[♪♪♪]
[bell sound]
I command you! Give me the ring!
Your seventh ring!
It has mental powers alright!
To influence the minds of others!
[grunt]
Well not me!
Not anymore.
[trumphant music and mechanical sounds]
MANDARIN: So be it!
[shots firing]
Pepper to Rhodey! What's your status?
Did Tony upgrade your armor?
Or are you floating around in orbit?
RHODEY: About that!
I'm good to go, you were saying?
Tony's back.
Mandarin must've been messing with his head.
Hurry! He needs your help!
I'll be there as fast as I can!
[♪♪♪]
[bolt sound]
[fizz]
[wham]
[ominous sound]
Must...
Endure...
Uh oh... Guess the test isn't over.
[scary growling]
[metal blade sound]
You must endure!
[gliding sound]
[high pitch cling]
You must...
endure...
[blaze sound]
Impossible!
[slash]
IRON MAN: Gene!
[roaring] You must endure!
Let's see you endure a little!
PEPPER: No!
Pepper, get out of here!
[quietens]
And that's that! Wasn't such a chore.
Tony!
[slash]
[energy fade]
[ghostly music]
[eerie flute sounds]
[footsteps tapping]
[crunch]
[ultra-ringing]
[sombre music]
[dramatically tense music]
PEPPER: Tony! Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Tony, wake up!
[sighs]
Dad? You're alive!
Last time I checked! That must've been some dream!
My heart monitor... Everything is normal again.
[relieved]
It wasn't a dream! More like a nightmare!
Well, it's over now.
No! We're on a plane!
TONY: The plane!
Dad! Our lives are in danger!
No!
[dramatic music]
[fuzz warp]
[spacey sound]
[ka-boom]
PEPPER: Tony!
Tony! Can you hear me?
Tony!
Rhodey! It's Tony and Gene! The Guardian...
[whirling sound] he got them!
I'm closing on your coordinates.
We got a problem. A big problem.
The temple's about to be swallowed by a mega
giant dust storm! You're all about to be buried alive!
[heavy breathing]
[flapping arms]
[only footsteps heard]
[oriental music]
The Prodigal Son returns!
To take revenge for what you did to my mother.
And how will pityful motherless Gene...
ever hope to achieve that?
Huh!
[eerie flute sound]
Looking for these?
MANDARIN: Now...
You will beg for your life.
I will never bow to...
[blurred scream]
And that is only the beginning!
[agony scream]
[mega thrust sound]
Computer! Stabilize for turbulence.
Full power to the thrusters!
There's got to be a way through that storm.
[surprise sighs]
...furthermore, our immense succes has been
generated solely by my new invention.
Wait... Invention?
Last I saw, you were in a coma!
[laughs]
STANE: Only in your dreams, Tony!
Now, back to business.
Profits are up 2 000 %.
since the Stane armor debued to the public.
The Stane armor?
I know the transition has been difficult for you.
But admit my new armor is our most popular product.
[eerie vibration]
[drum rolls]
You can see the military is our biggest customer, once again.
TONY: No...
It's not possible!
We've even outfitted the police with our
new Law Enforcement Armors ...
[bang]
Of course, some suits are bound to fall into the wrong hands.
Just like any powerful weapon.
Peacekeeping applications for the armor
are only the beginning!
[♪♪♪]
Stane Armor can be used anywhere...
By anyone...
[eerie music]
This is my worst fear come to life.
How did this happen?
Stane International has become the most powerful
weapons manufacturer in the world!
Stane Int...
It's Stark International!
You are the least powerful member of this board.
The time has come for you to just give up.
I'll never give up to you!
Then, I have no choice...
Tony Stark!
You're fired!
You can't fire me! This is my company, Stane!
I'm taking back my armor right now!
Oh well... I do believe we have a mutiny...
[glass smashing]
[mechanical sounds]
[♪♪♪]
I've been looking forward to putting you out of your misery.
For a long time!
[shots]
[multiple hits]
[outer shell echo]
COMPUTER: Warning! Armor compromized!
All systems at 20% and falling.
[suspense music]
STANE [sadistic laugh]
Surrender, Stark!
[fizzling]
Keep fighting! Don't give up, Tony!
COMPUTER: System failure.
Stane! You will never
make me give up!
[heroic music]
Destroy him! Fire everything!
[gun onslaught]
I beat you Stane!
My armor can't hurt me.
Because I created it.
I control it! This is just a dream.
And I've had enough!
You have endured!
[roar]
[powerful whirling winds]
PEPPER: Do something! Before we're buried in here!
No doubt! The temple's being torn to pieces!
If I can't beat this thing.
I'm just going to have to join it!
- What are you talking about? - Physics!
PEPPER: But, you're terrible at physics!
[whirling suspense music]
Yes! I totally deserved an A on that quizz!
[bang]
PEPPER: Tony! You're back! You made it!
Thanks to you.
[blast]
[huge roar]
[eerie flute sounds]
No more bad dreams. The reaper's playing for keeps.
What are you doing?
I'm trying to wake him up.
Like it or not, we need him! Gene!
Have you gone crazy?
[laser blasts]
There's good in him, I know it!
Besides, we don't have a choice!
[thud]
IRON MAN: Time to wake up!
[oriental music]
[♪♪♪]
[Wham]
[warped buzz]
Your fears are only as real as you make them!
[dramatic music]
[roar]
Gene! We have to work together!
This thing's too tough for either of us to defeat alone.
No!
[sobs]
A temporary truce, then.
But, the 8th ring will be mine.
Yeah, we'll see... First things first!
[♪♪♪]
[fighting screams]
[kaa-boom]
Woooah!
You guys make a great team!
[low vibration]
Don't get used to it.
Walk away, Stark.
Spare yourself the humiliation of another defeat.
[blast]
[heavy music]
IRON MAN: My odds are improving!
Glad you could make it.
Hope you left something for me to bust on!
I got the ring. You take Mandarin.
Miss me?
[♪♪♪]
I never miss, Rhodes!
[bolt sound]
[soothing music]
[scream]
Haha! Nice work, Rhodey!
Little weasle had it coming plus a whole lot more.
[warped thud]
[gasp]
Gene! This isn't you!
And I will not give up on the real you.
I'm doing this for a greater good.
Believe me!
Now, you will learn the true power of the Makluan rings.
[hiss and rumble]
[blast wave]
I have super speed and the vortex at my command.
[dramatic music]
[crumbling rocks]
[tornado sound]
[vortex whirl]
[deep thud]
[ghostly sounds]
[footsteps]
[flash]
He could've left us in that tornado, buried in the sand.
He's still a criminal!
And next time, I'm taking him down!
We 're taking him down.
What if what Gene said was true?
Yeah... That it could use the ring
to find out what happened to your dad.
Only thing I know for sure is that Gene Khan
is a liar who will do or say anything
to get what he wants...
[large gong sound]
[flash]
GENE: Home, sweet home...
GENE: Good evening, Howard.
You recovered the 8th ring?
Your son and I succeeded where you and I failed.
I expect no less from Tony.
But I swear, if you ever try and use them again, I'll...
You'll do nothing, Stark!
But rot in that cage...
Until all 10 rings are mine!
