After recruiting Luis and the others, Scott and Dr. Pym carefully crafted a plan to infiltrate Pym Technology. Three days later, they were ready to put their plan into action. It was also the day when Darren Cross invited Dr. Pym to see the results of his experiments. After years of hard work and numerous physical tests, Darren Cross had finally developed the Pym Particle.
That night, Dr. Pym and Hope were invited by Darren Cross to enter Pym Technology, while Scott snuck in as Dr. Pym entered the building. Luis disguised himself as a staff member and also snuck into the facility, ready to provide support for Scott at any moment.
After Dr. Pym briefed them on the plan, Scott successfully made his way to the center of the lab where the new Ant-Man suit was stored, navigating through the heavy defenses. When he arrived, Darren Cross was walking in with Dr. Pym and Hope.
“Luis, how much longer until the laser network is disabled?” Scott asked as he stood above the glass enclosure containing the new Antman suit.
“Disabling…countdown…five…four…three…” Luis replied promptly, starting the countdown.
“Can’t you give me a little more time to get ready?” Scott exclaimed in frustration, before jumping into the enclosure without hesitation.
Huh~
“Two… one!”
Hum!
As soon as Luis’s countdown finished, the laser net blocking the passage vanished, and Scott quickly took advantage of the opportunity to slip through. However, just after Scott passed through, the laser net reactivated, blocking the passage once more. It appeared that Luis and his team could only temporarily disable the network.
Whew~
Scott finally arrived at the glass box containing the new yellow Antman suit. With a soft thud, he landed at the bottom of the box and looked up at the suit. The suit had a more dynamic and powerful appearance than the old Antman suit.
“That’s it,” Scott whispered to himself, taking a deep breath.
With determination, Scott approached the suit, his goal clear in his mind: either obtain the new Antman armor or destroy it on the spot, completing his mission.
As Scott approached the new yellow Ant-Man suit, Darren Ross and a group of individuals were also making their way there. Ross was giving a tour to the directors of Pym Technologies, showcasing his latest accomplishment. Leading the group were none other than Dr. Pym and Hope van Dyne.
“Gentlemen and ladies, I present to you the Ant-Man technology, once thought to be mere fiction. And today, I have a tangible demonstration for you all. You’re in for a treat, as this is a rare opportunity to see it in action.” With enthusiasm, Darren Cross led the group toward a glass enclosure in the center of the room. As he spoke about the live performance, his gaze briefly met with Dr. Pym and Hope van Dyne.
“The Ant-Man technology, isn’t it just a myth? That’s what Dr. Pym has always claimed,” interjected a skeptical board member from the back of the group.
“Haha, Is it just talk? You’ll see for yourself in just a moment. And let’s not forget to thank Dr. Pym for his invaluable contribution to this live demonstration. Without his support, we wouldn’t be able to witness such a magnificent sight,” Darren Cross replied with a chuckle. This time, Ross made no attempt to hide his understanding of Dr. Pym’s involvement.
“Darren! What have you done?!” Dr. Pym exclaimed, unable to contain his outrage.
“Cross! What have you done?” Hope echoed with a serious tone in her voice.
“What have I done? I should be asking the same of you two! Just look at what you’ve done to the Ant-Man!” Darren Cross replied, suppressing his anger as he gestured towards the glass enclosure. He reached out to the side of the box and pointed inside.
Brush!
As everyone’s eyes followed his pointing finger, they saw the yellow Ant-Man suit, which was previously on display, suddenly shrink and disappear from the center of the glass box. Next to it stood a tiny figure, clearly bewildered by the situation. This was Scott, transformed into Ant-Man.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the Ant-Man! Dr. Pym’s magnificent invention!” Darren Ross exclaimed as he triumphantly pointed towards Scott who was now trapped in the glass enclosure.
Hulala~
Under Darren Cross’s direction, all the members of the board of directors gathered around to get a better look at the tiny figure. To help them see Scott more clearly, Cross even used an amplifier to magnify his image. Ant-Man’s secret was now fully exposed to everyone.
“Cross! You’re playing with fire!!” Dr. Pym shouted in anger, realizing that his plan had been completely thwarted.
“Am I playing with fire? I have worked so hard to learn from you, and I have invested so much in Pym Technologies. All I want is to see this technology flourish. But you’ve been hiding it from me, and now you continue to stand in my way. I had planned to kill you when I went to your house the other night, but Hope was with you,” Darren Cross retorted, no longer concealing his ambitious and cruel nature.
Brush!
In the next instant, Darren Cross pulled out a pistol and aimed it at Dr. Pym. Now that he had successfully replicated the Pym Particles and the Ant-Man suit, Dr. Pym was no longer of any use to him and he saw no reason to keep him alive.
Brush!
“Cross, you’re insane! Put the gun down!” As soon as Darren Cross pulled out his weapon and aimed it at Dr. Pym, Hope, who had been ready for this moment, also quickly drew her own pistol and pointed it at Cross.
“Hehe, am I crazy?! I think you are the one who’s crazy!” Darren Cross disregarded Hope’s warnings and laughed maniacally.
Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!
As the situation in the laboratory escalated and tensions ran high with Darren Cross brandishing his weapon, Scott, still trapped in the glass box, was desperately trying to escape.
