The dark void was filled with a deafening silence as it took a few minutes to turn the back-up power on. As soon as the florescent lights of his workshop flickered back on, Tony rushed to get the Iron Man suit ready. "Jarvis, are you all set up?

"Of course sir."

"Get the suit ready. We're gonna go blow up some robot ass." Tony said as he stepped onto the suiting platform. He stood still as machines fitted the suit, then waited impatiently as Jarvis set up the internal systems. "Ready Jarvis?"

"Whenever you are sir."

"Let's check this out" He said, and just as he was going to fly out, Pepper came down.

"Where do you think you're going Tony?" Pepper said unhappily, arms crossed over her chest and a frown covering her face. "I wake up at 3 in the morning to explosions and power outages, and you're going out in your suit?"

"Um, can't talk now Pepper. Kinda have to go save a city... or at least attempt to" and with that, Tony flew out of the workshop and into the pitch black night, leaving Pepper to simmer down.

"Jarvis, can you by any chance give me an update on what's going on downtown?" Tony said, but as soon as he spoke, another explosion rang out from below him. "Nevermind. What am I going against here Jarvis?"

"These robots appear to be other-worldly. The smallest is double the size of what Obadiah's robot was, but these seem to be moving on their own accord."

Tony watched as fireballs erupted below him, tearing apart the steel guts of buildings. He shot down and landed on the ground mere feet from the robot's large steel foot. "Jarvis, friend or foe?"

"I do not know sir, let me get you onto their radio frequency."

"Great, wonderful." Tony evaded the tin can's footsteps as he waited for Jarvis. He heard a click, then another heard another voice come on over his speakers.

"Who is this? How did you get on this channel?" asked the voice in a raspy tone.

"I just wanted to ask if you are a friend or a foe." Tony replied as he floated up, trying to find the origin of the voice.

"Well, it depends if you want to take over the Earth, of leave this wretched planet and it's pathetic race." said the voice.

Tony saw the robot talking, and flew over to it. "I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that you're a foe..." The robot was the size of a 3 story home. The silver that it was plated in was covered in scratches, and the present glass was shattered. It reached out with a massive machine driven hand, and grabbed Tony just as he tried to escape.

"If I'm the foe, then I can kill you." It snarled.

"At least tell me your name before you killed me!" Tony shouted out with mock terror.

"Megatron." It said, then began to crush the suit, with Tony inside it.

"Activate flares." Tony said. He'd get out of this like he did with Obadiah. Easily. The flares did exactly what he thought they would do, create an electric spark, but this just caused the robot, Megatron, to tighten his hold. "Jarvis, revert power to just the arc." He waited as the power loaded, then let out a huge explosion. Megatron, out of surprise, let go of Tony, so he got out of there and flew up as high as he could, then watched as Megatron forgot about him, and returned to fighting the other robots. Tony saw the army pull up in their hummers and tanks, and the air force streaked overhead. He listened to their radio frequency, and heard them say that there were 6 hostiles in the area. Tony did a quick head check, and saw there was only 5, but soon saw an overly marked jet fly over, then quickly change into another robot. "Shit." Tony said as he flew to the ground in front of a hummer. The army guards jumped out, and pointed their guns at Tony, but half pulled their guns down once they realized it was him. He looked at each of them, and saw that the ones that dropped arms were indeed army soldiers, but the ones that kept their guns up had uniforms on that were much more armored and techy than the army.

"Tony! What the hell are you doing?" Tony turned to see the disapproving look of Rhodey. Another explosion rang out, followed by the weirdest noise Tony had ever heard. The explosion knocked Tony out of the air and onto his butt in front of the soldiers. Not my day. "Nevermind talking now Tony, we've got to get these things down." Rhodey dismissed him with a wave of his hand.

"If you couldn't tell, I can't, no one can go hand to hand with these guys. Beating Obadiah was hard enough, but these robots are 3 times the size of him at least!" As if by command, 3 of the robots up and left, leaving the rest walking over in shambles.

Tony hopped to his feet, ready to evade the walking tin cans that were walking over.

"They left with what they came for." said the tallest one, a blue and red flame covered robot. Standing behind him was an all black robot, heavily armored and loaded with crazy weaponry, and next to him stood a black and yellow robot, with what appeared to be wings on his back.

Rhodey saw the awe cross Tony's face, and walked over to him. "Tony, this is the N.E.S.T. team."
