In a small clearing, surrounded by trees, a swirling vortex opened and them spat me out. The costume that I was wearing had somehow became actual armor. The images and info from the helmet were still there, but there were millions of other things going on. "What the fuck just happened..." I said watching the edge of the shady and mysteriously outlined bush I found myself laying in.

"Wait, what! Alright Jacob think, what is the most logical reason that I would find myself in a situation like this? Reason number one, drugs were in that helmet that the merchant sold me, or reason number two, that portal that I was dragged through must have put me in a cartoon like universe. If this is the case, then I don't think that just laying here will get me out. Wait, why does my voice sound different?"

As soon as I uttered those words, a monotone, yet slightly British voice that I instantly recognized as Jarvis said, "Well sir, it might be because of the . . . wait . . . Intruder! Please identify your name as well as the reason for stealing this armor as well as my programming."

"Stole? Look buddy, I would never steal from anyone unless they had it coming. Also, what the hell did I hypothetically steal, and why is it that I was able to see information about things that I am looking at?" I looked around trying to find where this person was.

"You are currently in possession of the mark 50 armor built by Tony Stark, as for the information, this is simply a result from the scanners that are located in the eyes." Was this guy kidding? Fine then, I'll just have to use all of my experiences with Phoenix Wright.

"Hold it!"

"Just because you raise your voice doesn't make you innocent." said Jarvis in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Sorry, it seemed like the right moment," I replied with a sheepish grin, "Anyway, you can't prove that I stole this, or that I had any intention to steal this. Even so, I might have an explanation as to how I got in this "

"Very well then, how about you explain our current predicament?" Asked the Butler.

I quickly thought of something. "First things first, Jarvis, could you please assess my health to make sure that I do not have any drugs in my system. Be sure to include alcohol in the search?"

"Scanning, scanning, scanning complete, you are not under the influence of any drug that could get a person "high" as one would call it." Well there goes reason one, as well as any hope that I could still be in my home universe.

"Well that defeats the logical one. Now I got a story. Long story short, I went to Comicon with my two infuriating, yet decent brothers, Mason and Caleb, also known as, the brawn and the mediator. I walked over to a booth and bought a cool looking helmet, which I assume that had your programming in it. I was then dragged through a portal by said helmet."

Jarvis seemed to think about it. "Due to what I got from the lie detectors, you weren't lying. Therefore, I will believe you for the time being."

This cheered me up and then I said, "Great, so now perhaps we can form a truce"

After a few moments of computing this Jarvis made a sighing noise and stated, "Fine, but I recommend that we find shelter or some form of civilization."

Because I had no idea how to fly, I started to climb up a mountain to get a better view. By the way, it turns out that climbing up a mountain is very hard when in heavy armor.

~2 Hours and 37 minutes later~

I had finally reached a flat cliff on the mountain and decided to sit down on the ground to take a rest. While I sat down, I tried to fly while wondering why I didn't try that in the first place. Turns out I couldn't just jump up and activate my boots. It seems I have to study up on aviation, physics, and flight mechanics and figure this out through. Luckily for me, Jarvis has a bunch of data on all that I could possibly need to know about anything science, mathematics, inventing, architecture, music, flight mechanics and chemistry. I read through it all in an hour, I was bored, okay. I then continued my hike until I came across a large boulder. With a flex of my right hand, I fired a repulsor beam at the boulder, thus causing it to explode.

A dim, yet shrill ringing filled my ears as small rocks fell down all around me like confetti in a parade.

A sound of rustling bushes woke me from my daze "Is any pony there?" A light and cheerful voice called out.

I swear to God, if I don't find a person on the other side of this debris, I will lose all hope.

I got up and started walking over to the bush where the voice had come from, "I am so sorry about the explosion, but you do not know how happy I am to find another person out here." I laughed as I cleaned of a bit of grass from my armor, "Listen, I'm really sorry if I startled you in any way. I've been trying to find some way to lead me back to a house or any form of shelter for hours now."

Then a thought hit me, "Wait, did you say any pony?"

A small, cute, white pegasus with a poofy yellow mane hopped out of the bushes behind me. Now that I got a good look at her, I also saw that she had a cutie mark of three purple balloons. After a moment of staring at her, I couldn't help myself. I started to laugh and chuckle. While I was doing this, the white one said, "So, um, is there someone else in there or are you just crazy"

That instantly shut me up, "Jarvis?"

"Yes, um . . . sir?" said Jarvis after figuring out what to call me.

"She can't hear you, can she?" I said with a slightly disappointed tone.

"No sir, she can't" informed the android... thing.

"If you are crazy, then don't worry, I'm crazy too or, maybe I just goof off too much." She said with a wise, yet bubbly voice.

"Hmm, I don't know what it is about you, but I can tell that we will be the best of friends," I replied in a calm, yet happy tone. "I forgot to ask, but what is your name?"

She then got an embarrassed look on her face, "Sorry, my name is Surprise Pie. And yours?

"My name is Jacob, but you may call me Iron man if you wish." After the introductions were out of the way, we both went down a hidden path to a small town called Hoofin- something or other so that we could get a balloon to a place called Pegasopolis.

A large, red figure was flying through the sky with a blue trail behind it. "Oh, how I miss her."

"Sir?" asked Jarvis, the AI in my suit.

"Don't worry Jarvis, I am merely remembering an old friend of mine." I said with a single tear on my face. "How long will it be until we reach the lab in Smokey mountain.

Jarvis was running some calculations before stating. "As long as nothing happens, then we will be there in two point eight three minutes. Warning! Something has hit a weak spot in the armor's defenses."

I then shouted, "Wait, how could that have happened? I thought that the shields were up!"

"Actually sir, shields are down, and it appears that we are going to crash." warned Jarvis.

I then issued an order. "Well then, put the shields up so I don't die from the crash."

I then proceeded to fall on a tree, then a piano, then I slip off onto a sleeping bear. It appears that I have invoked the wrath of slapstick. "Okay Yogi, try not to maul me to pieces when you wake up, I whispered as I tip toed away from said bear. Afterwards, I stumbled on the very thing that caused me to crash. It was a pair of Gengi gloves from Final Fantasy IV. I stared at them for awhile until I heard a voice in my head.

“I am the warrior, the master of weapons, the seeker of battle and adventure. To those who would require my strength to defeat thy foes, to crush opposing forces, put on these Gengi Gloves and call out my name with the intent to summon me. If ye be without true malice in thy hearts, know that the mighty Gilgamesh will come to thy aid!”

Thinking that the voices came from the gloves, I came up with a way to respond. "Jarvis, remember the problem that I had with the dimensional portal?"

"Sir, the problem was that there was no receiver on another dimension that was tied to the armor." Answered the Butler

"Jarvis, do we still have the self charging communication device?" I asked rhetorically as I reached into my space pockets and pulled out a small, red hologram communicator that looked like a gear with yellow teeth on it as well as an arc reactor that emitted a slight glow.

I activated the device to record my form and voice while I said, "My name is Jacob, but you may know me better as Iron Man. I am a prankster, a warrior, an inventor, as well as a pal. If your intentions are good and you hold love in your hearts, I will be there to help you. If you need a shoulder to cry on, a partner in a mission, someone to talk to, or an ally in battle, just clutch this gear and call for my aid!"

I think that that is epic enough. "Jarvis, activate the dimensional portal!"

"Yes sir." replied the AI.

After a few moments of building up my power, two blue beams came from my hands and joined to make a small portal. Inside the portal, I saw a white emptiness that went on forever with millions of doors in random places. One door was on fire and had a skull on it while another was made of black sand. I quickly threw my token into the void before I closed the portal to prevent myself from going (anymore) insane.

Hopefully someone will get my token. Then I can make an ally of some form or another.
