Chapter 53: The whiplash
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.
