"They're over there!"
With the advantage of flight, Jessica was the first to find the location of the cyborg army.
Looking at the red armour surrounded by the cyborg army, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. She contacted the others through her communication device, "Guys, I found the cyborgs. This looks bad."
"What's the matter?"
On the other end, when Matt heard Jessica's words, he couldn't help asking.
"They're surrounding Iron Man."
"Iron Man? Tony Stark?" Hearing the name that suddenly came out of Jessica's mouth, Matt was a little confused, "Why is he with the cyborg army?"
"I don't know, they might be connected somehow." Looking at the situation from another angle, Jessica guessed, "I see the weirdo who was with Kingpin here too. I think they're fighting."
"Either way, we have to stop the cyborgs."
"I'm worried Richie Rich can't hold out. Looks like he's cornered."
The assembly of a large number of cyborgs had obviously created a large change in the world. Even if the Mark 6 Tony was wearing was powerful enough to block the attack from ten cybernetically modified people, the army in front of him had long exceeded this number.
The electrically charged whip wrapped around Tony's waist and slammed him to the ground. Ivan watched as Tony struggled under the cyborgs' attacks, "It's over, Stark."
While saying that, Ivan controlled the electric current on the whip wrapped around his arm and was about to slam it towards Tony's head.
Bang --
Just then, a bullet struck Ivan's fist.
"Huh?"
Looking at the bullet embedded in his wrist, Ivan looked surprised.
[Reputation points from Ivan Vanko +100]
And underneath, Tony took advantage of the lapse in his concentration. He controlled the armour to rapidly ascent, temporarily escaping the previous precarious situation.
Looking up at Tony, who had escaped once again, Ivan's eyes were bursting with rage, "You keep getting lucky, Stark!" Saying that, Ivan turned his gaze and saw the Defenders approaching from the distance.
One of them, a guy dressed as a cowboy, held up a revolver and slightly nodded at him.
It was obvious that he was the one that shot the previous bullet.
"I spared you guys. I never thought you would come looking for death!"
The Defenders were spared from dying under Kingpin's hands, but now, they came to a stop him on their own initiative.
"Looks like I gave you guys too much credit. You're too stupid to know when to give up. Since that's the case ..." Saying that Ivan ordered the cyborg army to split up. Half of them started aiming for the Defenders. "I'll gladly give you the death you deserve."
"You got out of that? "
In mid-air, Jessica looked at Tony, whose armour was scratched up all over, and couldn't help but speak up.
"Who are you?"
Tony turned around and looked at Jessica, who was suspended in mid-air without using any tech.
The way the girl flew reminded him of Master Roshi.
"Us? We're the Defenders."
"Defenders?"
Under the iron mask, Tony frowned. He had never heard of them.
Although Jessica couldn't see the expression under Tony's mask, she sensed the puzzled emotions in his tone. She added, "We've been working in Hell's Kitchen for some time. We have come to stop the cyborg army. If we let them go, New York would be in danger. Why are they after you?"
"Ivan Vanko. He's the one who built the army. He's been after me for some time and had attacked me before. He's practically insane." After hearing Jessica's remarks, Tony was silent for a moment and revealed the reason why he was attacked.
"You better watch out."
Looking down at Ivan's appearance, Jessica nodded her head without any surprise.
"He was supposed to be locked up but somehow got out. He mentioned that he was the one who made these cyborgs."
Hearing Tony's words, Jessica's expression changed. Previously, she had been wondering why Bullseye had been transformed into a cyborg.
Frowning, Jessica speculated, "If I'm not wrong, the person who taught him how to make them might be from Jiu You."
"Jiu You?"
When he heard the name that came out of Jessica's mouth, Tony subconsciously repeated it.
However, before he could ask further questions, Ivan's heavy accent rang out again, "It's time to end this, Stark."
Collecting the puzzled expression on his face, Tony turned his gaze to Ivan, who flew closer and hovered at the same height as he did. Tony replied, "I agree."
With that, Tony turned his head to look at Jessica, who looked smaller compared to them. He was about to say something when she suddenly flew and body-slammed a cyborg to the ground.
"..."
Looking at the small crater formed, Tony raised his eyebrows and decided to swallow back his words.
"Don't worry, Tony. After I kill you, I'll use your brain to make a bigger and better cyborg. You'll be one of my robots for the rest of your life." Swinging the whip in his hand, Ivan spoke out with a cruel expression.
"Ugh."
Frowning as he heard Ivan's plan, Tony was clearly disgusted, "I would rather blow my head off."
Tony shuddered at the thought that if he died, Ivan would use his body parts to make a cyborg.
"That's not up to you." Controlling the whipcord in his hand, Ivan Vanko grinned as he swung his arm to attack.
Snap --
He suddenly heard a crisp crack as something had suddenly struck his back.
Because of the modifications to his body, Ivan's body had long lost its sense of touch. He turned his head to look behind him and then saw an unexpected object stuck in his back.
"An Arrow?"
