After speaking, Magneto didn't move his feet, yet his body suddenly rose into the air.
Magnetic levitation allowed him to float effortlessly.
The distance between Tony and Magneto closed in an instant.
Magneto's power surged toward the steel armor in the sky.
Tony had been keeping a safe distance—but he had underestimated Magneto.
An invisible force suddenly seized him.
His body was yanked forward.
At the sa ti, his helt was forcibly torn off by that unseen power.
Tony's face was fully exposed before Magneto.
Even in the darkness, Magneto could clearly see him.
"Tony Stark?"
New York's most famous playboy.
The man rumored to have a one-night stand with every cover model each month.
A constant presence in entertainnt headlines.
Even Magneto recognized that face.
Hearing Magneto's involuntary exclamation,
everyone except Wolverine was stunned.
Tony Stark?
That playboy!
That billionaire!
That forr arms dealer!
That guy who nearly tanked his company's stock!
He was actually the superhero who had been saving people lately?
"Uh… could you all just pretend you didn't see my face?"
Without the suit's amplifier, Tony's voice wavered in the night wind.
"Very good. This operation may have failed, but I've learned sothing quite interesting."
There was a hint of excitent in Magneto's tone.
"Magneto, how about letting go? You know you can't succeed anymore.
And if your plan did work, I'd be affected too.
So I have every reason to stop you."
Tony tried to reason with him.
anwhile, he was already reminding himself—anti-magnetic armor needed to be developed as soon as possible.
"Let you go? Of course I will.
I was just thinking it might be troubleso to leave after failing.
But now that I have you, I can give them a big surprise.
This summit is about to get very lively."
Magneto's tone turned strange.
"Hey—what are you planning?"
Tony grew anxious.
Magneto ignored him.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
He crushed the power systems in Tony's suit.
Only a minor, non-essential system remained intact.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he hurled Tony toward the summit.
Carried by magnetic force, Tony was sent flying into the distance.
"Charles, now let's see—do you want to capture , or save Tony Stark?"
Magneto then manipulated tal to carry himself into the sky and flew away.
At the sa ti, he took the bound Sabretooth and Mystique with him.
His control over magnetism granted him a form of flight no ordinary person could achieve.
On the ground, Scott adjusted his visor, preparing to attack Magneto in the air.
"Scott, stop. You and Jean take the jet and go save Tony Stark."
Receiving Charles's order, Scott and Jean imdiately departed in the aircraft.
At this mont, Tony's suit sparked with chanical failure.
With only one functioning thruster left, he spun uncontrollably through the sky.
Magneto's force had sent him hurtling toward the summit.
That single thruster couldn't even adjust his direction—
all he could do was try to slow down at the last mont.
"Ahhh—!"
"Ahhh—!"
Tony's voice echoed through the night.
The malfunctioning armor streaked across the sky like a blazing cot.
The crowd at the summit quickly fell into panic.
"Look! Isn't that heading toward us?"
"That light isn't slowing down!"
"What's going on? Why is that supposed Iron Man flying straight at us?"
"What do we do? Should we call security?"
"…"
The disturbance spread rapidly, drawing everyone's attention.
They stared in shock at the out-of-control object hurtling toward them.
"Ahhh—!"
"Move—!"
"Help—!"
The flying object let out desperate screams.
Another question arose in their minds—
who exactly was inside?
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The thruster fired in reverse, but Tony's speed didn't decrease at all.
100 ters.
50 ters.
20 ters.
The tal mass drew closer and closer to the ground.
The blazing white thruster burned at full power.
It was clearly about to crash into the densest part of the crowd.
10 ters!
5 ters!
At that mont, the roar of an engine echoed across the sky.
Cyclops piloted the jet, arriving just above the crowd.
Jean Grey imdiately used her powers to catch Tony.
Though she couldn't fully stop him, she managed to slow his descent.
Boom!
The armor slamd into the ground, sending dirt flying everywhere.
"Good thing we made it in ti. Hopefully Tony Stark isn't hurt."
Jean's voice carried a hint of relief.
Fortunately, they hadn't shut down the jet—they had just barely made it.
At the summit, the sudden crash threw everything into chaos.
Nurous guards rushed in and surrounded the tal figure.
After a mont, a voice finally ca from inside the armor.
"Hey… could soone help up?"
