Iron Man: Rise of Technovore Page #5

---

as though you're not

a part of the human race.

Ezekiel:

That's exactly how I feel.

I think I'm different

from the rest of you.

Stark:
Then what are you?

It's somewhat hard

to describe, really.

But if I were forced

to explain it in words,

I guess I would be a breeze.

Stark:
A breeze?

I'm a little confused,

can you elaborate on that?

Ezekiel:
Sasha would

also be a breeze.

Stark:
Who is this "sasha"

you keep referring to?

A girlfriend?

Ezekiel:
A gentle breeze

that caresses your skin.

And ruffles up

the grass and trees.

Stark:
I see.

I have no idea

what you're talking about.

But I'm beginning to

understand one thing.

Obadiah wasn't

a very attentive father.

He let you get lost

in a world of dreams.

Ezekiel:
You represent

the dinosaurs of the past.

I, however,

represent the future.

Dinosaurs of the past?

You should

consider retirement.

Stark:
That sounds pretty

good to me. I could relax

in a nice, quiet place.

In fact,

I actually tried that once.

But my personal

assistant just won't let me.

Ezekiel:
This time, I'm afraid

I'll have to override her.

You'll retire for sure.

You understand the situation,

don't you?

New wind, new future.

A brand new world is created

To go with

the brand new future.

A completely new

technology will be created.

The old will die out,

and the new will be born.

That is

the providence of nature.

A superior

technology to that of man.

Howard will be

the whistling arrow that

announces the new reality.

You should be honored.

The wind that follows

is going to blow away

(grunting)

your most

advanced technology.

Howard will be

the shot that leads the way.

Hey. Obadiah was lucky

he didn't hang around

long enough to see this.

New technology, you say?

Technovores, you called it?

Don't make me laugh.

The birth of mankind.

Refinement of steel.

Computers, biotechnology.

The things you

call old technology

Have all been

linked and accumulated

to create your "technovore."

(groaning)

It's not new at all.

The truth is, it's only

been born and exists

because of the past.

You think you represent

a brand new form of existence?

You're mistaken, kid.

You're no more

advanced than the rest of us.

You were born

from human parents.

Ezekiel:
So?

Stark:
You're just

a petulant child throwing

temper tantrums.

And just like a child,

if you've been bad,

It's an adult's

responsibility to correct you.

You would do that?

I don't think so.

Be quiet for a second.

(stark grunting)

(stark gasping)

Jarvis:
Part of the system

has been restored.

Where? Search for

the area that's functional!

The missile!

Jarvis:
Locked on target.

Ezekiel:
Foolish man.

Do you know what

will be written

on the brass plate

That gets installed on your

exhibit in the museum?

"here lies

a fragment of iron man."

But only if someone

is able to identify

Those fragments

after I blow you up.

Stark:
You spoilt kid.

I don't want to

put the curators of

The museum to

that much trouble!

(ezekiel giggles)

Ezekiel:
Perhaps if

we had had more time,

I could have

taught you a few things.

Well, it's time for goodbye,

tony stark.

There's still quite

a bit of work to do.

(ezekiel gasping)

Stark:
What's wrong, boy?

(gasping)

Jarvis:
Invading technovore

now being removed.

Restarting system,

restoring circuits.

Energy charge in three,

two, one, complete.

Stark:
What's the matter, boy?

You look like

you're in trouble.

Do you need

the hand of an adult?

Ezekiel:
I don't believe I do.

The future is full

of uncertain elements.

Stark:
It's okay for

a child to rely on adults.

Send energy to the reactor!

Force field deployed!

(gasps)

Hey, where did you go, boy?

Hide and seek time is over!

You went too quickly.

(ezekiel chuckles weakly)

Ezekiel:
You can't break me...

And you're unable

to change the future

Because that

timeline's already written.

(chuckles)

It's a blessing

your father's not here

to witness this all play out.

Hawkeye:
That's enough, stark!

It took long enough

but we finally

caught up with you!

You're coming in with

us to see the director

Or I'm gonna add

an extra hole in your head!

Stark:
All right,

william tell.

You made your point.

I'll go,

but only if she takes me in.

(snickers)

Obadiah:

You only got 98 on your test?

Without a perfect score,

you're the same

as the other idiots!

Go to your room

and reflect on your

shortcomings until dinner.

I thought you were

much better than this!

You're a disappointment!

(breathing heavily)

Did you listen to me?

I told you never

to touch my monger!

You little fool!

This monger is worth

(gasping)

Stark:
My god! I can't

believe what I'm seeing!

Rhodey survived that attack?

Has he woken up at all?

He's being kept alive

by the life-support system

But so far

we haven't seen...

Hey, rhodey!

Rhodey, can you hear me?

If you don't wake up

you're gonna die a loser!

You can't die without

beating me in a race

at least once!

That would be shameful!

Tony...

Stark:

Wait a minute! How 'bout this?

If you wake up

I'll concede

the next race to you!

I'll introduce you to

a beautiful woman, too!

You just tell me

which model on which page

Of that magazine

you were looking at!

Anyone at all!

Except the girl on page 10.

I've got dibs on her.

Just don't tell pepper!

Other than that,

anybody you want!

(alarm blaring)

Hmm?

All stations!

An unknown program

is hacking into our system!

Shutting off communications!

Starting antivirus program!

Initiating defense protocols!

How are the main servers?

We can't stop it.

Someone breached our security

and is invading our systems.

Technovores.

Ezekiel's technovores

are the invaders.

Fury:
What?

I'm sure the servers have been

taken over by now.

It's too late.

Fury:
Damn it!

(gasps)

Hawkeye:
He's gone!

Where did he go?

Operator:

The howard is under attack!

(shuddering)

What's happening?

Hill:

Initiate guardian program!

Operator:
It won't start!

The firewall is about

to be breached!

If we don't do

something immediately,

All the systems in

howard will be taken over!

Ezekiel:
I'm right here.

Look around for me.

My, my.

(guns cocking)

You're not very observant.

I'm right beside you.

(shudders)

Hawkeye:
Above us!

(gasps)

Are you okay?

Stark:

Yeah, here's the problem.

Howard has the power to access

every computer in the world.

Fury:

Including military satellites.

Exactly.

He's planning to make howard

The source to

hack into the world's

Military satellites

and control them.

Ezekiel called that the wind.

The wind?

He's planning to wipe out

everything that

lives on this planet!

(gasps)

What happened to

the server room?

Hill:
I haven't been able

to get a response.

Hmm.

Mmm?

Fury:
Stark!

What are you planning to do?

Stark:
I'm going to

fix the computer

so we can use it.

If I can divert

the power of the arc reactor

and aim it at the technovores,

I can annihilate them.
