Tony just completed a lap and was proceeding to the second one. But as he was driving he saw a man on the track walking on the track from afar who was wearing a very rudimentary exoskeleton on his body while holding a two lashes on his hands that was sparkling with electricity running through the lashes.
There was a half cut car behind the man signifying the man had damaged the car with his lashes. Tony wanted to stop his car but he was cruising very fast. The man hit his car with the lashes. It immediately cut his car in the front which catapulted his car in the air forward and crash landed upside down few meters ahead.
Tony wanted to get out of his car but he was stuck and the man with the lashes was approaching him slowly. As he was approaching there were suddenly 5 sharp knives that looked like bats stuck the track in a circular shape between Tony and him. The moment the knives stuck there was blue spark like electricity around it and the next moment there was a huge wall of at least 10 inches thick that rose from the ground diving Tony and the man in lashes covering both side ends of the track.
"Thanks Bruce" Tony murmured. This was alkahestry. Bruce took the alkahestry path as he felt that it could help people with injuries and launch long range powerful attacks. Tony liked alchemy more and felt alchemy was better and researched on it.
The man in lashes was dumbfounded by the wall that formed in front of him. The wall was so thick that he couldn't destroy it immediately. He could see the whole wall that rose was formed by the ground underneath as it created a dip beside the wall.
As Tony was thinking what he should do as he was sure this wall wasn't going to stop this man for more than a minute he heard a car engine from behind. He saw his Rolls Royce car approaching him. After it stopped in front of him Tony eyes gleamed as he understood his help was here.
Tony took the the suitcase from Happy and opened it. The suitcase slowly transformed into a suit. It was exactly the same as the Mark 4 suit in the original world. The only difference was that there were special writings and signs all over the arms leading till the elbow.
Tony had drawn the iron alchemic transmutation circle all over the suit in his arms, exactly the same as the iron blood alchemist in the anime. Tony felt safe now as he now had enough equipment to fight this new man. He didn't think much about this new man but the arc reactor on his chest surprised him. He always thought only he had that technology.
As the wall in front of him broke down by the continuous barge of the lashes, the man came through the damaged wall. Without uttering a single sentence he immediately attacked Tony. Tony dodged on the side while clenching his fist. He stuck both of his knuckles together.
This instantly created a blue lightning spark like before but this time it was in his arms. He hit the ground with both his arms and suddenly bunch of iron chains rose from the ground. The chains flew towards the man in lashes and immediately bounded him before he could react. It wrapped around his arms, legs and abdomen rendering him immovable. The chains that came out of the ground created a 3 meter wide depth as the iron content on the road wasn't so high. Tony even had to use the iron fences on the sides to compensate for iron deficiency around.
"What the hell is this?" the man shouted.
"Alchemy. You should study more." Tony replied as he approached the man. He saw the arc reactor on the man's chest and removed it.
"Where did you get it?" Tony asked him directly.
"Hahaha.. You lose Stark.. You lose.. Hahaha.. " the man replied hysterically. The authorities came seconds later. Tony removed the chains after striking it with his hands. The surrounding audience looked at him with an astonished expression.
This new kind of power surprised everybody.
"What the hell was that? I thought Tony Stark could only use missiles and fly around. Where did this new electricity come from. Those chains and wall rose from the ground. Does Tony Stark have some special powers?" one person in the audience said.
"I don't know. But it looked so cool. Bringing the chains out from ground and making that wall." Another person replied. Everybody thought that the wall was created by Tony as almost nobody saw the batarangs that stuck the road.
Even though many people followed the works of John but most of the people disdained watching animated series as they felt it was beneath their age to watch these so most of them hadn't watched the series.
John had given the knowledge of alchemy to Tony because it would help the people understand that the knowledge of alchemy was real and in this way many people would watch the series and gain more fan values via that. Tony would act as the greatest advertiser there every was.

Tony came back from the track after putting away the suit. He saw Bruce and others sitting in the table while most of others left who were attending the race due to security reasons.
"You selfish piece of sh*t. What were you thinking? Do you know how dangerous it was? You were almost killed just now. Do you even think of others who care about you?" Pepper shouted in a very loud voice. Tony just kept his head down, he knew this was dangerous and it was his fault.
Bruce and John didn't comment on anything as they knew why Tony was acting weird. A person who was dying might act in a self destructive way. This was normal. And specially a person like Tony, who all his life had been in control of everything.
"Thanks Bruce for the help. You saved my life again." Tony said to Bruce without replying to Pepper because he knew no amount of apologizing would remedy the situation. Bruce just gave a nod and didn't say anything.
"Who was he anyways? How does he have the arc reactor" Tony murmured.
"He is Ivan Vanke, son of Anton Vanke. Anton was a colleague of your father Howard. That's how he knows the arc reactor. Anton wanted to make money out of the arc reactor so Howard deported him to Soviet Union. Ivan inherited all the knowledge from his father. So that led to this situation. Your previous generation's of hatred continued till now." John said in one breath.
"What? You know him? Son of father's colleague. That's a first. He has been arrested already so it doesn't matter. But now the senate will come after my posterior soon. What a headache!" Tony said. he didn't ask the validity of John's claim. Being able to dream of various universes came with a perk of a peek in the future. At least, that's what Tony believed.
Everybody returned to USA after this event as this destroyed the mood of everybody. The birthday of Tony was approaching fast and Tony was thinking of enjoying it to his fullest. As it might be his last birthday, although he might get help from the Naruto world but he didn't have enough confidence if they will listen to him.
John could always help Tony with his poisoning but he wanted Tony to go through this cycle. It was important to build his character. And this would also catapult his company to a much higher level in the energy sector after he invents the new element. That's why he told Natasha to inform Fury. It was useless to play long mind games. Though he wasn't sure if Fury would listen to him.
After they returned the story of Tony followed exactly as the same as Iron Man 2. Tony did more outrageous things and on his birthday he used his suit to entertain the guests. Bruce didn't stop him as he knew Tony's situation. He even asked John for his help. John just told him not to worry, so Bruce left Tony to his instruments.
As the birthday celebration continued Rhodes came and saw the mess Tony had created. He was angry because he had been working hard to defend Tony. The US military wanted to tear down his house and take away his suit. The senate also suspected that Tony had new knowledge which was called Alchemy.
They did research on it and found out the powers of it through the series that John created. They immediately approached John to give them the information of it. John just said it was the property of Tony and he was the owner of the knowledge. John didn't even hesitate to pit Tony. Tony had SHIELD behind his back so he was sure that it would only a slight inconvenience to Tony with the knowledge of Alchemy.
Actually even if John said he had the knowledge of alchemy the senate couldn't force him to reveal this. As it fell under the jurisdiction of SHIELD and John being a consultant of SHIELD was already safe from the hounds of senate. It's just that John always subconsciously forgets that he was the consultant of SHIELD, because of the presence of Hydra.
Rhodes went to the laboratory to wear a suit and came back to the upper level where the celebration was going on. "Shut it down!" Rhodes shouted with anger.
All, except Bruce, immediately left. Tony who heard this didn't pay attention and asked the DJ to continue playing the song. Then the fight ensued. And the fight followed like it was supposed to be, with a huge blast at the end caused by their both hand thrusters. Tony was thrown away by the blast and felt unconscious.
After Rhodes came out of the mess he saw Bruce standing a little far looking at him.
"I thought you are here to make him better, you disappointed me." Rhodes said to Bruce. Rhodes being a great friend of Tony, knew the identity of Bruce.
"Do you really think you can just walk away with Tony's suit without him allowing it? If you think so then it means you don't really know Tony." Bruce replied.
Rhodes was stunned when he heard that. But when he thought about it he couldn't understand why Tony was behaving so weirdly. He looked at Tony with a complicated expression and then flew away to the US Air Force base.
