Why are you here!?

Greetings, Dr. Tanaka!

If you don't mind, I would appreciate your help preparing

the Arc Reactor for initiation.

Where's Iron Man?

What have you done with Tony?!

Hmm.

- But that's… - Iron Man…

Is dead!

No!

- Hey Nanami… - Huh?

Something's gone wrong.

I'm afraid that Iron Man is dead.

That's not true.

He can't...

I overheard those men talking about it.

Mr. Stark…

We've been blessed with this opportunity.

We have a responsibility to share it.

No, he's still alive.

I just know it!

But Nanami…

I've got to get to the bottom of this.

We have to find a way out of here!

What if I create a distraction!?

It's too dangerous!

Uhh, excuse me!

Sit back down!

Pardon me!

Where's the little boys room?

Shut your trap!

Hey. You smooshed my sandwich.

Okay. That's enough!

Oh, I'm sorry, Ichiro.

You allowed them to seize control of the Arc Station!

How did they get past the SDF, Kuroda?

Patience. We must stay calm.

I'm certain they will make their demands clear soon enough,

Mr. Prime Minister.

We got a problem!

The terrorists are broadcasting some sort of message

over national television!

They what!?

A message to the government...

Zodiac has taken over.

And we have come to establish a new world order.

Zodiac?!

We have already taken numerous hostages.

And taken the powerful Arc Station.

If you fail to cooperate with our demands,

we'll have no choice but to execute the hostages.

Then we'll use the Reactor to obliterate

Japan from the face of the earth.

Nothing will be left.

So they're suicide bombers?

To avoid this, you must comply with each of the following demands.

First, you must expel all U.S. troops from the country.

Second, the Self Defense Forces must disband.

And third, the entire Diet must be dissolved.

I suggest, you proceed as quickly as possible.

This guy's a nut-job!

What's wrong with these people?

They can't possibly think this is gonna work.

Hey, you!

Hands where I can see 'em. Now!

Great.

Guess I didn't get far!

What's this?

Sir! I found her snooping around the halls!

If you think they're gonna give in to your crazy demands, you're dreaming!

Hmph. You think my plan is crazy?

I wouldn't expect you to understand, but

everything I've done is for the greater good of this country.

What do you mean?

Japan claims to renounce all war.

So tell me, why this nation of yours teaming

with so many weapons then?

This hypocritical government no longer has the ability

to lead Japan into the future.

Replacing it with one that can is a necessity.

It's worth dying for.

We don't need that kind of 'help'!

Who the heck would want terrorists running their country?!

Ooh! This one's feisty, isn't she?

Take her away.

Yes, sir!

Alright! Get moving!

Okay, okay, I'm going.

In there!

Where am I?

He really beat the crap out of you, huh?

Sakurai.

Where's Yinsen?

That bastard just took over the Arc Station.

We'd better figure out our next move.

My next move is to get my armor back.

Yeah well I'm no longer cleared to use the Ramon Zero armor.

Kuroda striped me of my level 5 SDF clearance.

Well, that's a shame.

You just lost about half your value.

Coming from a guy who managed to lose his Iron Man Armor.

I'm not sure, you're one to talk.

This washed up near where I found you.

I assumed, it's yours.

Thanks, Nagato!

So, what's the game plan?

It's like I said,

get my suit back, then kick some ass.

Chika! It's tony.

Mr. Stark?!

Thank goodness, I thought we'd lost you!

It's gonna take more than a psychopath in a fancy suit to take me out.

Listen. The lab has been taken over by the terrorists.

They're forcing me help prepare the Arc Reactor.

That'd be Yinsen.

The same guy who managed to steal my Iron Man armor.

I need you to activate the GPS signal.

Right. I'll check on it now.

- I found it! - What are you doing?

Chika, is something wrong?!

Chika!

I'm afraid that your assistance is no longer required.

Chika! Are you okay?

Tell me, what's happening!?

I see, you made it out alive, Stark.

Don't worry, though.

I'll kill you soon enough.

Run a trace on that transmission, and dispatch Sagittarius.

It's time to finish this.

There's no way we can give in to such demands!

Surely, the terrorists have figured that out by now.

Well, these zealots must be after something else then!

We must proceed with extreme caution, gentlemen.

They've taken hostages!

The situation may be dire…

but as long as they do have hostages,

we need to respond to their demands.

All right, General. What's your plan?

Assault! We have the SDF standing by waiting for orders.

The moment you give the go-ahead,

they're prepared to charge the Arc Station.

Just knock down the front door?

What would the collateral damage be?

We could lose a third of the hostages, maybe more.

If I go along with this plan...

my legacy will be pile of body bags!

Sir, we must act quickly,

before the story leaks to the media!

- No! The risk is too high! - Gentlemen!

Huh?

If I may... please stop bickering and let me handle this?

If you screw this up, the blame will be on my shoulders!

I promise, there will be no negative fallout,

and should my plan fail, I shall accept sole responsibility.

But if it succeeds, you'll get the credit.

We have received the full list of demands from the terrorist group,

and members of the government are busy preparing a response.

But there is concern for the safety of the hostages.

That is why, I stand before you tonight.

Not as a member of the Diet, but rather as an everyday citizen.

I've come to make an announcement, a proposition for Zodiac.

I would like to offer myself,

in exchange for the release of all the hostages.

What the hell?

I understand that one man for many may seem an uneven trade.

But I am hopeful you will search your hearts

and at least consider my offer.

Zodiac has been listening to the minister's plea for mercy.

And while your government is in no position

to negotiate with our organization…

We do recognize his bravery.

Because of his selfless concern for others above his own safety,

we will accept Mr. Kuroda's offer.

Get in there!

Doctor Tanaka!

Nanami!

Mr. Stark! Is he okay?

What's happened to him?!

Don't worry, he's alive.

Oh, thank god!

But we can't rest easy yet.

He doesn't have his Iron Man armor anymore. They took it.

I've got to figure out a way to find it and get it back to him.

I'm in! What do we do?

This is a nightmare.

Now Yinsen has the plutonium and the Arc Reactor.

And I let it happen.

Iron Man is a weapon!

Look at us! We created a weapon of mass destruction.

Maybe he was right.

Seems like the only thing I'm good

at these days is causing death and destruction.

What was that?

My Iron Man armor is supposed to protect people,

But now, my invention isn't helping anyone.

It's only hurting innocents.

People's lives are being put at risk, thanks to me.

How did everything go so wrong?

It's not your fault.

That other armor might look like Iron Man, but really

they're just machines.

They lack one essential element.

Hold that though because uh…

Hey, do you mind if I ask you something?

What do you want to know?

I was wondering,

are you and Mr. Stark, um…?

Yes, what about us?

Forget it. It was nothing.

Let me give you some advice.

- Okay. - Nanami. You're a good journalist,

too good to chase after Tony Stark.

I'm good?

This is it.

I found it!

Welcome, Minster Kuroda!

I've kept my word.

Now release the hostages at once.

Nanami… I can't leave her.

Step on it, he's gaining on us fast!

Yeah. I see him!

Mr. Stark! Can you hear me?

I know that voice. Nanami?

Listen uh, I am a little busy right now.

Chika told me everything.

Don't worry. I've got your armor with me.

That's great. But how did you?

Chika's the one you should thank.

Somehow she managed to shut down their surveillance system,

so we could escape.

I've got to get that armor as soon as possible.

I'm gonna send you coordinates where we can meet up.

I'll keep that thing occupied.

You just get out of here.

Okay, thanks!

I'll be back for you as soon as I get my armor!

Mr. Stark!

Glad you made it in one piece! Where's Chika?

She said, she couldn't leave the Arc Station.

Not until she wrapped a few things up.

She's crazy.

Mr. Stark!

Don't worry. Just a little heart attack.

That isn't funny.

You don't look so good.

Shouldn't you just sit this one out?

Nanami…

This is who I am. And what I do.

It's time for me to go.

Find a place to take cover, and hurry.

Wait, one thing!

What's up?

It's not important. Just be careful.

I always am.

Bring it!

What?!

Told ya, I'd be back!

Hmph.

Tell me, Mr. Stark.

How does it feel to be beaten by Iron Man?!

Kind of like a hangover.

Your machines are kinda like you, Yinsen.

Missing the human element!

Spare me.

I knew it. Somebody's broke into the system.

That must be why the EMP device was malfunctioning before!

Who's there!?

Wait, I-I know you… Aren't you Nanami's…?

I wish…

Say, did ya happen to see Nanami around?

You think, Iron Man's just a weapon of mass destruction!?

Well, get ready to see how right you are!

What…!?

Yinsen, I'm sorry your family was taken from you.

But what you're doing now is wrong!

It goes against everything you taught me.

Maybe the best part of you died that day in the cave.

And now the only thing you'll understand is this!

You're so naive.

You really think, you can save the world with platitudes!?

Ha! The only thing people understand is power!

What's going on?

Are you okay!?

- Iron Man?! - Huh?

He had the chance to shoot them, but he didn't.

Why? Why the hesitation?

- What?! - What?!

Sigma!

Why did you take that hit for me?

Because no matter what you say…

I saw a glimmer of humanity left in you.

Fool! Any good that was in me was destroyed

the day my family was slaughtered.

Why are you turning against them?

They're not acting under my orders anymore.

Someone else must be controlling them

I've lost them!

Sigma. No!

Yinsen.

Yinsen, why?

Why did you join Zodiac?

At first, I only wanted a chance...

To do something good in this world.

To try and make a difference.

I thought, I could control the power they gave me.

But in the end, it controlled me. It corrupted me.

But you're different from me, Stark.

I know, you can handle it.

I'm sorry for everything.

Stark.

Zodiac's not done.

Their real plans are only just beginning.

You've got to stop them.
