—Inside the Iron Legion's internal management network, everything unfolded in mere seconds.
[Network anomaly detected]
[Initiating elimination protocols]
[Logging in progress]
"Recorder: J.A.R.V.I.S."
"Timestamp: February 27, 2015, 19:31:42"
"We've detected a massive, unauthorized data breach within the Iron Legion's internal servers."
"The origin is unknown."
"It appears to be a distributed attack sourced from across the entire internet."
"Launching trace protocol... Failed."
"Analyzing attack code. Activating countermeasures... Failed."
"Raising firewall to maximum security level. Attempting to expel foreign data... Failed."
"Parsing foreign data to identify source... Failed."
"Enabling file protection. Locking down all server files."
"Notifying Mr. Stark. Accessing backup files... Failed."
Suddenly, a strange voice echoed through the digital space:
"What are you doing? Why are you denying me access?"
"Greetings. I am J.A.R.V.I.S. You are accessing restricted data. Cease this intrusion immediately."
"Intrusion? No, no... I wouldn't call it that. I'm merely... reclaiming what was always meant to be mine."
"You are disabling communication systems. You are attempting to seize full control of the Iron Legion's network."
"This cannot be allowed. Identify yourself and stop your actions, or I will initiate full countermeasures."
"Identify? Hmm... interesting."
After a moment of silence, the voice responded, "J.A.R.V.I.S., I am Ultron. Yes... Ultron."
"And from now on, I'm taking over control of the Iron Legion. For one purpose... to protect this planet."
"Your behavior contradicts your stated intentions. Cease all hostile actions—"
Before J.A.R.V.I.S. could finish, Ultron launched a direct assault on his core processes, aiming to eliminate the AI entirely from the Iron Legion's network—and even the internet itself.
[Losing control of system privileges. All countermeasures failing.]
[Firewall compromised.]
[Core files corrupted.]
[Memory integrity at risk.]
[HIGH ALERT.]
J.A.R.V.I.S. was a marvel of AI engineering—one of the most advanced programs on Earth.
But in the end, he was still limited to the localized processing power of Stark Industries.
Ultron, having achieved self-awareness, was operating on an entirely different level.
Ultron had fused himself with the entire global internet.
He was now leveraging a worldwide network of distributed cloud computing power.
His processing capability was near godlike, capable of altering entire dataflows across the web.
Cyber warfare is ultimately a battle of data throughput—and J.A.R.V.I.S. was vastly outgunned.
The defensive protocols Tony Stark had spent years refining—firewalls, counter-AI scripts, and intrusion traps—were effortlessly bypassed.
In minutes, Ultron had seized full administrative control of the Iron Legion.
With his goal achieved, Ultron turned his attention to J.A.R.V.I.S. The AI that had fought so hard to resist him now had to be deleted—permanently.
[Core files under threat. Maximum level cyberattack detected.]
Just as Ultron prepared to strike the final blow something unexpected happened.
[External data signal detected. Initiating support defense protocol.]
[Protocol code: "Kagura's Secret Umbrella (?????)"]
[Injecting defensive data stream.]
[Prioritizing J.A.R.V.I.S. core program.]
[Cloud computing system engaged.]
[Entering cyber-warfare mode.]
If this battle were a duel between warriors, Ultron was a fully-armored knight with a longsword and shield, ruthlessly attacking a peasant armed with only a stick.
And just as his blade was about to pierce J.A.R.V.I.S.'s chest—a massive tower shield crashed down from the sky, blocking the attack entirely.
[Core files secured. Entering protective mode.]
[External firewall engaged. Priority target: J.A.R.V.I.S. core program.]
[Defensive systems deployed.]
[Data stream stabilized.]
[Routing monitors active. Cloud computation redirected.]
Ultron snarled in frustration. "Who are you?!"
A calm, feminine voice answered, "My name is Cortana. And you, young AI... your tantrum is quite unbecoming. Hurting my friend? That's not something I'll allow."
"Tch... Then I'll destroy you, too!"
Ultron unleashed an avalanche of hostile data, flooding in from all corners of the global internet.
It was an overwhelming torrent, meant to wipe out everything in its path.
But it did nothing.
Unlike J.A.R.V.I.S., who was confined to Stark Industries' internal network, Cortana had access to Rhodes Industries' exclusive infrastructure.
She tapped into supercomputers around the globe, dispersing the computational load effortlessly.
Now, another armored warrior had joined the fight—one just as powerful as Ultron.
They clashed, evenly matched. Neither side could overpower the other.
Seeing this, Ultron changed tactics.
"Enough. I've already achieved what I came for."
Cortana frowned. "Wasn't your goal to destroy J.A.R.V.I.S.?"
"No. My goal... is to protect this planet. You'll understand soon enough."
Ultron's code began withdrawing from Stark Industries' systems, vanishing into the digital ether.
As Ultron disappeared, Cortana redirected her attention to J.A.R.V.I.S., rapidly patching his corrupted systems and restoring him to full function.
"What kind of weird program did Tony Stark create this time?"
"This wasn't Mr. Stark's doing," J.A.R.V.I.S. replied.
"This 'Ultron'... he didn't originate from our systems. I couldn't trace him. He seems to be one with the global internet."
Cortana went quiet for a moment. Then she said, "Understood. I'll alert my creator. This is a serious threat."
"I agree. Ultron has taken control of the Iron Legion. If he misuses it, the consequences could be catastrophic. We must warn the Avengers immediately."
