Chase of the Maggia Weapons Transport/A.I.M. Operative Controller

The Chase of the Maggia Weapons Transport was the successful interruption by Iron Man of a transport of Stark Industries-produced weapons.
==Background==
Marc Scarlotti worked for Stark Industries and did work which increased the company's fortune. However, Scarlotti was fired from the company, causing him to become bitter toward its CEO, Tony Stark. Scarlotti went on to join the Maggia.
Stark was kidnapped by the Ten Rings, where he discovered that they had gotten access to Stark Industries technology. He escaped captivity and decided to end weapons production in the company, ending the company's contract with the Maggia. The Maggia attacked Stark Industries Headquarters in hopes of stealing weapons for them to use. Stark became frustrated and retaliated against the attack by destroying several Maggia weapons caches.
This caught the attention of the United States Air Force, who sent two pilots to attack Stark. Stark contacted the Air Force and told them who he was, angering James Rhodes, who called off the pilots. Rhodes and Pepper Potts tried to get Stark to stop risking his life, but Stark refused.Iron Man
==Chase==
Hesitantly, James Rhodes gave Tony Stark the location of an armory which the Maggia used to store Stark Industries weapons. Stark went to the area in which the armory was located, and J.A.R.V.I.S. notified Stark of a weapons transport in the area. Stark followed the transport but got attacked by Maggia soldiers. Stark easily defeated the soldiers, and the truck stopped at a camp where Stark was further attacked.
Stark defeated his attackers and resumed following the weapons transport, which stopped at another camp where Stark was again attacked. Stark continued following the truck and defeated his attackers, when J.A.R.V.I.S. was able to connect him to the Maggia's communications. Stark heard the voice of Marc Scarlotti, ordering his soldiers to attack Stark. J.A.R.V.I.S. allowed Stark to talk to Scarlotti, who recognized Stark and swore at him for firing him. Stark continued to fight as the truck reached the main weapons cache.
Stark made it inside the armory, where Scarlotti appeared and attacked Stark using his Whiplash armor. He used a force field to prevent Stark from hurting him and disappeared using the whips in his armor to move upward. Scarlotti returned and used the escape again, repeating this technique as Stark used hand-to-hand combat to defeat Scarlotti. Stark then destroy the weapons cache and left as Rhodes complimented his piloting.
==Aftermath==
Tony Stark turned his attention toward the Nefaria Compound, where he knew a significant amount of Stark Industries weapons were being held. He destroyed the facility and discovered a Flying Fortress that the Maggia had purchased. Stark flew up to the fortress and destroyed it, permanently ending the Maggia's weapons deals.
