I've got an idea for Sabbath. The film will still revolve around Tony as he investigates the ailen technology that was used in the arc reactor's design, but the Mandarin will have a bomb planted in Stark Tower. It goes off and destroys the tower, seemingly killing Tony. The Avengers, still mourning the recent death of Thor, investigate the scene of the explosion. They find that the bomb was actually a Stark Industries specialized grenade. Captain America, refusing to believe that Tony is dead, goes to Nick Fury in helping him find Iron Man.

Meanwhile, Tony awakens in the very same cave where he first became Iron Man. An old man, his son, and an unidentified woman, accompanied by a squad of armed troops, surround Tony, who is chained to a wall. The old man then reveals himself as the Mandarin, the leader of the Ten Rings, the organization who kidnapped Tony in the first film. The Mandarin orders that Tony begin construction of a portable generator that could channel the weather into a weaponized power source. Tony refuses and is beaten into unconsciousness. Meanwhile, the Avengers, tracking Tony's location to the Middle East, are shot down by the Mandarin's forces. They are hunted all across the desert until they reach the cave. By this point, however, the Mandarin had already gotten the generator he needs; Tony's arc reactor. The Avengers chase off the Mandarin's forces and Cap tries to revive Tony, but to no avail; Tony is already dead.

Rushing back to New York, the Avengers find the schematics for the original arc reactor and have a still functioning J.A.R.V.I.S. construct it. The arc reactor is implanted into Tony's chest and the heroes wait.

The film then cuts to eastern Africa. The Mandarin, his son, and the woman, now identified ad Madame Masque, along with their army of followers, plant the arc reactor into a metal hole on the ground. The Mandarin then begins to chant something in a foreign language, which, in turn, makes the sky turn cloudy and a strong thunderstorm begins occuring across the planet.

In New York, the energy conduits connected to Tony's chest begin to be affected by the lightning, which hits the tower and revives Tony with an electric shock in a very Frankenstein-esque fasion. The Avengers, glad that they had not lost Tony, begin to make their way towards Africa to stop the Mandarin. Iron Man follows suit and attacks the Mandarin just as the Avengers do battle against the Mandarin's forces. Iron Man demands to know why the Mandarin is doing this, to which the old man replies "It's a favor to an... old friend." The Mandarin then reveals that before Stark Tower was destroyed, his forces broke in and stole ten rings being kept in a safe in the basement. The Mandarin then employs the rings and battles Iron Man.

The two eventually battle their way into the sky, where the Mandarin overpowers Iron Man and prepares to kill him. Iron Man, however, manages to channel all of his suit's energy into his uni-beam, firing a supercharged blast which incinerates the Mandarin. Iron Man then falls back to the surface, only to be found by the Avengers. Tony is then taken home, where he witnesses Stark Tower already undergoing reconstruction.

In the post-credits, Madame Masque, who escaped the Avengers during the battle, wanders aimlessly though the jungle. All of a sudden, a portal opens, and a purple-skinned individual wearing gold and blue armor tells her that the Mandarin had done his part, and that it was her turn.
