Turning his gaze back to the battle between the two robots, Peter saw Tony heading further up with Iron Monger behind him.
And as expected, Tony continued to increase his height to the highest point he could to carry out his plan.
Seeing Iron Monger's armor fall, Tony's plan worked.
Or so Tony thought.
When Tony reached the ground and was talking to Pepper, Iron Monger came up behind him and he had to dodge him.
Although Tony wanted to throw a repulsor ray at him, he couldn't because his armor's gauntlet had come off, leaving his bare hand pointing at Iron Monger.
With a swipe of his arm, Tony was knocked several meters by Iron Monger.
But Tony didn't give up and launched himself again, preparing a repulsor ray with his remaining glove.
Iron Monger deflected the attack and after a hard fight, managed to catch Tony.
Tony was trapped in Iron Monger's arms, but managed to escape by launching flares from his armor.
Iron Monger had to let him go, but he didn't let him escape and chased him.
Using his agility as his advantage, Tony managed to position himself on Iron Monger's back, managing to pull out several cables.
But his victory didn't last long when Iron Monger managed to catch his helmet and threw him towards the roof of the reactor.
Unfortunately for Tony, there wasn't much he could do with his energy dwindling.
Inside the Iron Monger armor, Obadiah smiled as the Arc reactor in Tony's chest flickered, showing that Tony didn't have much power left.
'I won.' Obadiah could already taste victory on his tongue as he crushed Tony's helmet in his hand.
Tony didn't have his helmet and his armor was almost worn out. Obadiah couldn't think of a way for Tony to turn the situation around.
"Shit," Tony cursed as he also realized he was almost out of energy and his crushed helmet was thrown at his feet.
Tony hoped Pepper had listened to him and activated the reactor, because he at least wanted to take Obadiah with him.
"Tony!" Pepper shouted, looking at what was happening above her on the building where the reactor was located.
"Tony die" Obadiah said with a smile on his face as he pointed towards Tony.
'I think it's time for my entrance,' Peter thought, and appeared in front of Obadiah, interrupting the fight.
!!!!
The 2 involved in the robot fight were surprised when someone else appeared out of nowhere.
Obadiah was frightened when someone appeared in front of him, and even more so when he recognized him.
Peter was wearing his red and blue Spiderman suit, openly showing who he was.
Scared that someone would take away his victory over Tony, Obadiah aimed at the spider hero and fired.
Or at least he tried.
Spiderman grabbed Iron Monger's robotic hand, and with a single pull ripped off the metal limb.
Surprising Obadiah and Tony by tearing off the metal arm with his bare hands, Spiderman didn't stay still and grabbed the other limb before tearing it off as well.
Without wasting any more time, Peter also took care of the robot's legs, leaving the torso on the ground.
The fight was over in seconds, leaving Obadiah and Tony unable to react.
As Tony breathed a sigh of relief that it was all over, Obadiah's face was twisted with anger.
He was about to kill Tony, and this guy got in his way!
Furious, he opened the chest of the armor and his hand grabbed the backup pistol.
¡BANG!
¡BANG!
¡BANG!
¡BANG!
"Watch out!" Tony shouted, but what happened surprised him and made him realize who was responsible for those shields that protected civilians and buildings from Obadiah's indiscriminate attacks.
Obadiah unloaded the bullet cartridge aiming at Spider-man with a sinister smile, but a blue shield formed in front of him and stopped all the bullets.
Obadiah stared in dismay at the image before him as his fingers continued to fire the pistol that had run out of bullets.
Click!
Click!
Click!
The blue energy shield in front of Spider-Man, resembling the energy shields in science fiction movies, stopped all the projectiles and they fell to the ground.
Tony moved closer to see where the energy shield came from, and saw Spider-Man's arms wrapped in a futuristic armor that had blue lights flashing.
Having fooled everyone, Peter stepped forward and punched Obadiah, knocking him to the ground.
Of course, it was a very weak blow for Peter, otherwise Obadiah's head would have exploded like a watermelon.
And now that Obadiah was down, she subtly cast a spell on him to render him unconscious.
Tony saw everything and didn't believe it would end so easily.
After all, he had fought very hard and almost lost his life at the hands of Obadiah in his Iron Monger armor.
But Spider-Man showed up and solved everything very easily.
Uff!
Letting out a sigh of relief, Tony knelt on the ground.
Because the armor was running out of power, he had to support the weight of the armor by himself.
Now that things were seemingly over, Tony let the tiredness and stress take over and he fell to his knees.
"Thanks, but I think you could have shown up sooner," Tony said, thanking and complaining.
Spider-Man had appeared before, but only now got involved.
"I didn't know what kind of weapons that bald guy had in his armor."
"He might as well have had a bomb capable of destroying an entire block."
"I didn't want to get involved without knowing more details," Peter said from under his Spider-Man costume, shrugging his shoulders.
"Tony, are you okay?!"
Tony wanted to answer Spider-Man sarcastically, but Pepper's scream caught his attention.
"Your girlfriend is worried, you should go calm her down," Peter said mockingly.
Tony could swear he could see the sneer in the mask of the guy in front of him.
"She's my secretary, she must be worried about getting another job," Tony said, ignoring the term 'girlfriend' coming from Spider-Man's mouth, even though it stirred feelings he'd never felt before.
"So it's okay if I ask her out? I like redheads," Peter said, looking down at the woman who was Tony's secretary.
"No!" Tony shouted.
But he quickly composed himself and lowered his voice.
"She's my secretary, she's forbidden from having a relationship while working with me," Tony said, not wanting to see the mocking smile on the spider-man's mask.
"Whatever you say, Stark, whatever you say."

With Peter's help, Tony was able to get down and receive help from the medics who had arrived on the scene.
Although no civilians were injured, the chaos prompted authorities to act quickly, and the area was filled with patrol cars and ambulances.
As a rich guy, Tony would of course receive the best care, so Peter left him in the hands of the experts.
He could have healed Tony of his wounds, even taken out the Arc Reactor and healed the hole in his chest while removing the shrapnel in his heart, but it was not yet time for him to show more of his abilities.
Spider-Man had already demonstrated great superhuman strength and, combined with his energy shield technology, had already attracted enough attention.
Thinking about his 'energy shields', Peter thought there would be new Spider-Man accessories on the market.
'I'll be richer,' Peter thought with a smile.
"Mr. Spider-Man"
Suddenly, a voice caught his attention and Peter saw again a guy he recognized.
"I'm Phil Coulson, from the Strategic Intervention, Law Enforcement, and Homeland Logistics Division."
"That's a very long name," Peter replied.
"..."
"Yeah, we're thinking about shortening the name," Phil said through gritted teeth, since he's always told the same thing and it's a mouthful to say the full name every time he introduces himself.
"So Phil Coulson from the Strategic Intervention, Law Enforcement and Homeland Logistics Division, how can I help you?" Peter said.
Even though he knew Spider-Man was joking, Phil knew he had a job to do so he continued with what he was going to say.
"The agency I work for would like to help you with your work in New York City."
"With our help, your job protecting New York City will be easier," Phil said.
Fury was also against Spider-Man joining the agency, as he wouldn't trust a stranger who came out of nowhere and had no control over him, but the world security council voted to invite this superhero to the agency and learn its secrets in the process without telling him.
But according to what their analysts said, Spider-Man was very likely to refuse if they invited him to join the agency, so they will first invite him to work together in New York City.
