The Battle Begins

"Get ready to go. I can't believe the final enemy is Obadiah Stane. Tohka, did you know about this all along? I remember you were always avoiding him."

Having been betrayed by someone he trusted, Tony was anything but happy.

He finally recalled the strangeness from before—Tohka's attitude toward Obadiah Stane was always indifferent and distant.

"No, I just felt that guy was disgusting, that's all."

Tohka quickly denied it. No way she could explain herself if she admitted it.

"By the way, are you really going to use this piece of junk? Didn't I warn you before?"

"Oh, that. Hahaha, sorry, I've been so focused on improving my armor that I forgot about it."

Hearing Tohka's words, Tony, now clad in his armor, showed an embarrassed expression.

Clearly, this situation had caught him off guard.

"Tony, Tony, Obadiah Stane seems to have gone mad—he's built an armor like yours."

"I know, I know. Leave it to me. Just make sure you stay safe."

At that moment, Pepper's voice echoed in their ears, though she didn't sound like she was in a good situation.

"What's wrong, Tony?"

At that moment, Rhodey looked at Tony with some confusion.

Being part of the military, he understood exactly what the armor represented.

"Tohka, I need you to come with me. My armor's power is low, and I might not be able to beat him."

"Got it. Let's go."

Hearing Tony, Tohka wasted no time and activated her spiritual energy.

In a flash of brilliance, Tohka once again donned her elegant armor.

"Tohka, can you keep up with my speed?"

"Short-term, yes. Long-term, no."

"Then speed up. We don't have much time."

Saying that, Tony pushed his speed to the max, creating a sonic boom in his wake.

At the same time, Tohka also reached her maximum speed. The two of them turned into streaks of light streaking across the sky.

"You go protect Pepper. Leave that guy to me."

Staring at the massive rampaging robot, the fury in Tony's eyes was unmistakable—he clearly wanted to take revenge personally.

"Understood. If you can't hold him off, let me know."

The two of them then streaked through the air and landed in front of Pepper.

Tony delivered a punch to the mechanical head of Obadiah Stane's suit, while Tohka, in a princess-carry, swiftly flew away with Pepper.

"Oh my god, you're Tohka?"

Pepper stared in disbelief at the elegantly armored and heroic-looking girl. It took her a while to snap out of her daze.

She simply couldn't reconcile the dashing figure in front of her with the silly girl she knew from before.

It wasn't until Tohka landed on the rooftop of a building with her that she finally came back to her senses.

"Yes, but Tony's situation doesn't look good."

Nodding, Tohka frowned as she watched the battle between the two figures in the distance.

Due to a lack of energy, Tony was being completely overpowered by Obadiah.

Otherwise, with his armor, Obadiah would have stood no chance.

"Tony doesn't seem to be holding up."

Pepper, seeing the serious expression on Tohka's face, was momentarily confused.

After all, Tohka now exuded an aura of invincibility, starkly different from her usual self.

"How's it going, Tony? Can you handle it, or do you need my help?"

Watching Tony struggle, Tohka contacted him through her earpiece.

In her eyes, if she didn't act, it was only a matter of time before Tony lost.

"No need, I've got a plan."

Tony's pride wouldn't allow him to admit defeat.

He performed an agile maneuver, creating some distance between himself and Obadiah.

With a burst of speed, he flew upward into the sky, and Obadiah unhesitatingly followed.

In the night sky, everyone could see the two beams of light piercing the clouds, drawing all attention to them.

"What are they doing? Why are they flying so high?"

Watching the two figures disappear from sight, Pepper asked Tohka in confusion.

"That armor probably hasn't been designed for freezing temperatures. Once they get too high, it'll ice up, and the system will shut down."

"Tony's likely counting on this method to defeat him."

"But he doesn't realize that he survived it before—so will Obadiah. Be careful; I'm stepping in."

While organizing materials, I realized how captivating Reverse Tohka is.

Let me ask, do you want to see two Tohkas falling in love and fighting each other? If there's enough support, I'll include Reverse Tohka in the plan.

However, her appearance will be delayed for a while. After all, according to the needs of the storyline, I need to lay the groundwork to avoid making her introduction seem abrupt.

She probably won't officially appear until after the release.
