Issue #13: "Mysterium Mission"

Tony Stark and Emma Frost, operating under the aliases "Tony" and "Hazel Kendal," embark on a covert mission to obtain Mysterium, a powerful mutant metal, to combat Orchis' Stark-tech Sentinels. They enlist Skrull mercenaries to impersonate them on Earth while they, along with Eros (Starfox), travel to Gameworld. There, they confront space pirates attempting to steal the Mysterium. Emma's diamond form and Tony's tech prowess help them secure the metal and return to Earth. ​


Issue #14: "Ironheart's Initiative"

While Tony and Emma focus on their mission, Riri Williams (Ironheart) infiltrates an Orchis base to hijack a ship and reach the dwarves, aiming to assist in the fight against Orchis. Tony expresses concern over her eagerness and the use of the Mandarin rings. 


Issue #15: "Sentinel Showdown"

Tony unveils his new Model 72 armor and the colossal Model 73 "Sentinel Buster," both crafted from Mysterium. He leads an assault against Orchis' Iron Sentinels in the Australian outback. Despite initial success, Feilong, piloting a War Machine Sentinel, disables the Sentinel Buster, leaving Tony trapped inside.​


Issue #16: "Descent into the Mind"

Trapped within the deactivated Sentinel Buster, Tony experiences hallucinations involving his parents and past adversaries. These visions force him to confront his legacy and the consequences of his actions. He eventually regains consciousness and prepares to face Feilong.​


Issue #17: "The Price of Knowledge"

Tony battles Feilong inside the Sentinel Buster. Despite his Mysterium upgrades giving him an edge, a shocking revelation unfolds: Feilong and Orchis were mere pawns, with Nimrod and Omega Sentinel orchestrating events. They unleash a hidden fleet of Stark Sentinels to exterminate mutants and humans alike. Emma Frost sends Magneto to assist Tony in this dire situation.
