Chapter 10: Villian's Rising

Meanwhile, Obadiah finds himself sitting at a large oak desk in a fancy leather chair in his office after executing his plan. Obadiah after 'appealing' to some of the more greedy board members and other staff, as well as using fake promises to get a few others to leave, Obadiah had managed to buy a large building weeks before and using it started his own company, Obadiah Industries.

Floating in front of Obadiah is a holographic globe and inside the silhouette of a rather larger person could be seen, just then a voice came out from the hologram. " Very well Stane consider your Stark problem dealt with but enough of that talk let us continue business I hear you have some toys that I might be interested in send me the details and I will give you an answer by tomorrow."

The silhouette disappeared from the globe and Obadiah smirks. " Perfect my plans all but complete nothing can stop me now once Howard returns to see his company destroyed I will be the biggest weapons developer in North America."

Just then the globe lit up again but this time Obadiah's secretary appeared. " Mister Stane you told me to let you know when Donnie reports in well he told me to let you know that he is about 50% complete." Obadiah grins " Thank you for informing me Molly also clear my schedule for tomorrow I will be out checking on some potential customers."

The hologram then disappears and Obadiah stands up and walks to the window with his hands behind his back staring out he can see just barely off in the distance the stark building. " Just wait I will show you that I was right Howard, I will be rich and respected as the country's best businessman.

Meanwhile, as the shadowy silhouette disappeared from the hologram across the city in an undisclosed location a large man stands up from behind his desk. Standing 6'7 with a large frame and an ash white skin tone. Tombstone looks at the door to the room he is in and as he does as if on time a thug dressed as a mafioso with a white full-face mask walks in.

Tombstone stares at him grinning his sharpened teeth showing." Go grab a few guys and carry out this plan." Tombstone hands the thug a folder inside is a plan to send an unmanned train out of control at stark Industries." Right away boss also Janice wanted to let you know that she is on her way up."

Tombstone's smile grew more genuine as he walked out from behind his desk to look out the window." Very well get on with the task I gave you." Shortly after a beautiful woman walks into the office." Hey, dad so that thing you wanted to be done got done but lately the pigs have been cracking down."

Tombstone turns as she enters and heads over to her and hugs her while laughing." Haha don't worry sweetheart I just found someone who might help us with that problem though I don't trust him, I think he will be very convenient for now."

And while Tombstone and his daughter catch up the thug heads over to a rather large man in gladiator-themed armor." hey Gladiator boss wants us to do a job." the thug then hands over the document to the Armor clad man.

Gladiator (Melvin Potter version but altered) grabbed the document with his large spike-covered steel gauntlet, hanging at his waist a miniature steel net on his back a large tower shield, and lastly on his other side hangs a gladius as well as a high-tech short pole which its purpose is unclear.

Gladiator responds in a gruff voice." Alright then, boys we got a job to do, move your lazy asses." and then later that day a Train makes its way dangerously fast toward stark Industries.
