Tony Stark, the billionaire and genius inventor, had always been the center of attention.
Whether it was in business, technology, or entertainment, every move he made attracted global focus. But here, in this particular moment, he was completely ignoredâand that irritated him more than he cared to admit.
Of course, the sharp-minded Tony quickly noticed that Alex Ray, standing nearby, was unusually alert. He wasn't as calm as usual. It was clear that the elderly man standing across from them was no ordinary individual.
Tony's instincts told him this person was an enemy, not a friend.
Iron Man slid on his helmet and faced Magneto, then instructed, "Jarvis, scan this individual."
His voice held a subtle edge of seriousness and caution.
Alex Ray, too, was curious why Magneto had focused his attention on him.
Looking directly at the mutant leader, he replied calmly, "I'm not interested in your Brotherhood, Magneto."
Though his tone was level, there was an unmistakable finality in his voiceâan unwavering refusal.
The atmosphere instantly tensed. The air between Alex and Magneto seemed to freeze.
Before Magneto could respond, his subordinate Pyro moved first.
"Our boss invited you to join, and this is how you repay him?" Pyro sneered, launching a stream of fire directly at Alex.
A wave of intense heat surged forwardâbut before the flames could land, Tony Stark reacted.
Blasting into the air, Iron Man dodged the attack with precision. At the same time, his right gauntlet shifted, transforming into a laser cannon that fired a powerful energy beam straight at Pyro.
The blast completely neutralized Pyro's flames.
Stunned, Pyro faltered, clearly not expecting such raw power.
"Looks like we'll need to install a built-in fire suppression system in the next suit. Jarvis, make a note," Tony grumbled after landing.
On the sidelines, Nightcrawler's female counterpartâNight Walkerâassessed Tony and quickly joined the fight.
In an instant, she vanished from her position and reappeared directly in front of Tony, delivering a swift, powerful kick.
Despite his advanced armor, Tony hadn't expected the sudden close-range assault. He was sent flying.
Alex Ray didn't move. He remained where he stood, watching Tony's fight with amusement and intrigue.
He wasn't interveningânot yet. He had to keep an eye on Magneto, and besides, he didn't believe Tony would lose so easily.
Pyro and Night Walker coordinated smoothlyâone striking from range, the other up close. The duo's teamwork put pressure on Tony, pushing him back.
It was, after all, one of Tony's first real-time combat trials in the suit, and he was still adjusting.
Despite the barrage, Tony remained composed. His analytical mind worked in tandem with JARVIS, rapidly studying his opponents for weaknesses.
Pyro's flames, while powerful, followed a simple patternâpredictable.
Night Walker, though agile and elusive, lacked physical strength.
From within the armor, Tony processed every movement, every detail. Piece by piece, he began formulating a plan.
Gradually, Tony began to turn the tide.
Using the suit's agility, he dodged Pyro's fire and took advantage of Night Walker's lack of raw force to counter her.
Little by little, their advantage crumbled.
Watching this, Magneto finally acted.
He frowned as he surveyed the battlefield, displeased at the unfolding events. He didn't want to lose two loyal subordinates.
His expression darkened. With a flick of his hand, Magneto unleashed a surge of magnetic energyâa violent torrent hurtling toward Tony.
Alex Ray, who had been silently watching Magneto, moved at once.
He lowered his right hand and hurled a streak of red energy at Tony, creating a barrier that deflected the magnetic blast.
"Really, old man? Sneak attacks? That's low, even for you. If you want a fight, take it up with me," Alex said, a sly grin tugging at his lips.
Tony quickly retreated, rejoining Alex.
"Let me deal with him. That bastard tried to sneak up on me!" Tony growled, armor systems recalibrating.
"No. You're no match for him," Alex said bluntly, eyeing the damaged parts of Tony's suit. "With that armor, going up against him is suicide."
Alex stepped forward.
Tony hesitated, realizing the truth in Alex's words. This was Magnetoâone of the most dangerous mutants alive and, ironically, one whose power countered his tech perfectly.
"âŠI guess it's time I developed an anti-Magneto armor," Tony muttered, unwilling to back down but smart enough to stand down.
Magneto kept his gaze locked on Alex, calm and composed, as though silently daring him to make the next move.
"You're going to fight me with superpowers that don't work on metal?" Magneto asked, voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Who said I'm using superpowers?" Alex replied, a hint of mischief in his tone.
With his left hand, Alex removed a belt and wrapped it around his waist.
From his right, he pulled out a device that resembled a USB flash drive, etched with a bold letter "E."
"Eternal."
He pressed the device. It activated with a distinct mechanical sound before Alex slotted it into the belt.
"Transform."
In a flash, blinding light erupted from his body, pulsing with intense energy.
As the light faded, a new figure stood where Alex had been.
He now wore sleek white and blue armor, complete with a white mask and a black cape fluttering dramatically behind him.
The air around him crackled with power.
Tony and the Brotherhood mutants stared in disbelief.
No one expected this.
Tony blinked, then muttered, "I should've added a cape. That's actually pretty cool. And sound effects? What the hell kind of suit is that?"
Even Magneto was caught off guardâthough he concealed it well. This young man was full of surprises.
With the transformation complete, Alex Ray squared his shoulders, the symbol of the letter "E" on his belt glowing faintly.
He swept his cloak aside with a confident gesture and delivered a line straight from Kamen Rider Eternal:
"Come on, have some hellish fun!"
Elsewhere, in another world entirelyâ
A man dressed in magenta and holding a camera was sipping coffee with an air of elegance. Suddenly, he paused, a sly smile tugging at his lips.
"Well now⊠this is getting interesting," he murmured. "Looks like another Kamen Rider just stepped onto the stage."
