"Beginning systems diagnostic check." Jarvis says into the helmet Seth is wearing.

"Ok Jarvis, can we hurry up please?" Seth asks the artificial intelligence.

"Hover thrusters online, HUD systems online, Subsystems online, weapons systems online. All systems are online and operational." Jarvis says.

"Alright thank you Jarvis, but can we PLEASE start the tutorial?!" Seth asks, starting to get frustrated with the AI.

"Opening secure channel with Mr. Stark."

"Iron Man?" Seth asks, to nobody in particular.

"Hey kid, how ya liking the armor?"

"Its amazing Iron Man."

"Kid, call me Tony ok?"

"Ok…..Tony."

"Alright the laser is still on a rampage, so we have to cut this short. The armor system runs partially on a neural interface. You can activate most functions just by thinking about it. Just tell Jarvis what you want him to do and he'll do it, along with power management and other armor functions."

"Ok, I think I got it, but if you couldn't stop him then how can I?"

"Simple, hit him with the unibeam blast at full power. It'll literally overload him, and stop his destruction."

"Ok, so what do I do first?"

"Start off with simple hovering."

Taking a deep breath, Seth puts his feet together, and points his palms down. He thinks "hover" in his mind and the armor recognizes the neural command. A blast of red hot controlled fire erupts from each of the housings on the armors boots.

Two smaller jets come out of the armored hands, to help stabilize the now airborne armor. The armor stops ascending when it reaches about five feet off the ground. Even with the repulsors helping to stabilize him, Seth is still swaying from side to side.

"Whoa, this is harder than it looks!" Seth exclaims into the helmet.

"It just takes a little getting used to." Tony responds through the com channel.

After a few seconds of swaying like a pendulum, Seth manages to still the armor.

"Hey! I did it!"

"Nice job, now try ascending a little bit higher, but be careful. This armor was designed for-"The armor suddenly shoots straight up like a rocket.

"Speed." Tony finishes, watching the speeding into the clouds.

"Sir, flight thrusters have been activated." Jarvis informs the armors patron.

"Jarvis! Go back to hover mode! NOW!" Seth yells at the AI. Almost instantly, the armor slows down and comes to a stop. Looking down, Seth notices he's a long way from the ground.

"Whew, That was a close one Jarvis. For a second I thought we were in…You have got to be kidding me!"

Looking forward, Seth sees a passenger plane flying straight at him.

"Sir, impact with plane will not cause damage to the armor, but it will damage the plane."

"Jarvis, descend." Seth tells the AI.

"Sir, to descend I must-"

"Jarvis just do it, and do it fast!" Seth says again, as the passenger plane is getting closer. The thrusters cut out, and the armor begins to free fall. The plane passes, narrowly avoiding the suit.

"AHHHHH!" Seth yells, as the armor plummets toward the ground. The armor continues to spiral downwards, getting closer to hitting the ground below.

"Jarvis reactivate the hover thrusters!"

The thrusters burst back to life, and cause the armor to upright itself. At the same time, the armor begins to slow down, but not fast enough.

"Sir, we do not have enough speed to stop impact, brace yourself."

"You have got to be kidding me." Seth says, right before the armor hits the ground. A cloud of dust is thrown into the air. The impact left the armor in the middle of a small hole about 4 feet wide, and 3 deep. Slowly, Seth sits up and the armor servos can be heard rebooted themselves.

"Ugh. That was not fun." Seth groans, now in a sitting position.

"I told you to be careful." The com link crackles to life, and Tony's voice is filtered through.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. But this isn't easy!"

"Enough fooling around, you need to stop the laser."

"But I can't! You saw how well I can pilot this thing!

"You don't need to fight him, you just need to hit him with the unibeam. Trust me, you can do this."

"Alright, I'll be back." With that, Seth activates the hover thrusters, and the armor rises into the air. Using the hand stabilizers, Seth propels the armor forward, heading for the laser.

"Jarvis, start diverting power to the unibeam, only keep the systems we need."

"Alright sir."

Seth keeps flying forward, getting closer to the laser, who is still destroying anything he can find. When he gets 30 feet from the lasers position, he drops the armor back to the ground.

"Jarvis, start diverting all power to the unibeam."

"All power, Sir?"

"Yes Jarvis. Everything."

Seth walks forward, still advancing toward the laser, who is still unaware of the new iron man approaching him.

"Hey living toaster!" Seth yells at the energy man. The laser stops burning the building he was destroying, and turns around. A look of pure disbelief comes over his barely recognizable face.

"Y-you? But…How?! I killed you…you were…this can't be real!" The laser stutters, obviously shaken by seeing a so-called dead enemy.

"Oh, I'm very real." Seth says, his voice being output through the armor speakers. The laser quickly regains his composure however.

"Ha! It doesn't matter! I killed you once! I can do it again!" The laser says, self-confidence dripping off his voice.

"Sir, unibeam is ready and fully charged." Jarvis says into the armored helmet. Seth doesn't respond, and instead speaks to the laser.

"Laser, I'm gonna give one chance to surrender, and to stop this destruction!"

"Oh Iron Man, you super heroes never learn." Before Seth can react, the laser raises his hand and a beam of white hot energy shoots toward him.

Seth can feel the heat, as the beam misses him by a few feet.

"I MISSED?! HOW!?" The laser screams.

"You just lost your chance." Seth says, before activating the unibeam. A circular beam of energy erupts from the arc reactor in the chest of the Mark-43 armor. It collides with the laser, in a show of sparks and small explosions.

"Sir, if the unibeam is kept up, the armor will lose all power."

"keep it going Jarvis!"

The beam continues feeding into the laser, who has finally realized what's going on.

"NO! You can't do this! Im the living laser!" the beam continues, but the armor can't hold out much longer. Inside the helmet, Seth's HUD is beginning to flash, and the armors power levels are critical.

"Sir, armor power at 2%, armor is shutting down."

"What? No!" The unibeam abruptly stops, and the HUD inside the helmet dissipates, leaving Seth looking through the eye holes in the helmet.

"Jarvis?" there's response from the AI.

"Hahaha! Looks like you ran out of power Iron Man! It looks like I get to kill you twice!" The laser lifts his arms, and throws more energy at Seth.

The beam flies through the air, aimed directly at the powerless armor. The pure energy never makes contact with Seth, or the armor. It instead hits a small shield, with a red white and blue star painted on it.
