Escape
Whilst wondering about the mysterious new armor, Tony and Chika are kidnapped. Nanami spots Tony's car and attempts to follow it, but they are stopped by a Zodiac. Tony and Chika awake to find themselves on a remote island, and Tony's arc reactor is missing. They are then approached by Yinsen, who reveals himself to be a member of Zodiac and tells Tony he has 24 hours of pacemaker power to decide whether to join Zodiac or not. Tony and Chika attempt to use the various scrap on the island to find a method of escape, but are thwarted at every opportunity. They eventually manage to evade him by using a hologram, and manage to build a flare to alert Sakurai, who had received some information from Nanami. Impressed by him not using weapons, Yinsen returns the arc reactor before escaping. As they wait for rescue, Tony and Chika kiss each other.

Iron Man
Tony Stark, CEO of a large weapons manufacturer, physicist, engineer, and brilliant inventor, is wounded by shrapnel from one of his own weapons. While held captive by terrorists, he develops the Iron Man Suit and escapes. From that day on, he vows not to waste his second chance at life and to change the world for the better. For that purpose, he comes to Japan.
In Lab 23 in Japan, great strides have been taken to develop, and build, a unique power station which does not run on fossil fuels, the Arc Station. Stark intends to join this project, and, for that, he is ready to announce his retirement as Iron Man. At the same time, he will also announce the Mass-produced Iron Men, to which he will pass on his duties. However, during the ceremonies, Stark is suddenly attacked by combat mecha belonging to an organization known as Zodiac.
