The Incredible Hulk: Journey To Equestriaby GodDragonDevilChaptersA Meeting With His Own DemisePainful TruthThe Price Of MercyA Beacon of HopeThe Strongest One There IsA Meeting With His Own DemiseWhat am I? This may be a simple question to most of you. You are Human. But me, I am something else. I tried to be a hero, I tried to save the lives of innocents. I tried to be anything but what people make me out to be; a monster. I used to be normal in the past. I was a scientist; striving to help humanity by unraveling the mysteries of the universe, primarily Gamma Radiation; known as one of the most violent and powerful source of energy to mankind. Ironically, that is what turned me into the creature that I am today. I am no longer normal; no longer accepted by the people I loved and cared for. They fear me, hate me, but most of all, they want me dead. They see me as nothing but a threat, a weapon that aims in all direction. After many years of being loathed, hurt, and hunted by everyone, I used to wish myself free from this curse, from the beast that dwells inside of me. Now, I realize the only thing I want is to be alone. My Name is Bruce Banner. I am not Human; I am The Incredible Hulk. I have grown used to loud noises. Explosions, Bullets, Screams of terror and fear; but I don't hear any of that now. Its moments like these that are rare in my life. Peace. Its quiet, save for the soothing sound of the wind blowing and the birds singing. “Wait, birds chirping,? Here in the Deser-” His voice suddenly failed him as he opened his eyes to find himself in a completely new location. There were trees as tall as buildings and full of life with rich green leaves and perfectly brown bark. Grass, so beautiful and pure it shimmered and sparkled in the sunny clear sky. Flowers of all colors and sizes were around him ranging from large purple ones with thorns that shined in the light, to small ones that were blue and glowing. “Where am I? This certainly isn't the Nevada Desert. Its so full of life and cool and a bit breezy and Oh My-” Banner looked down at himself to notice that his clothes were completely gone. He was in the nude. Even his infamous, stretching pants were gone. “My clothes are gone, but thats strange, I don't remember transforming into the Hulk. Well it does not matter now, doesn't look like this area is occupied by anyone that would notice. For the mean time I guess I will at least cover myself up with some leaves”. After looking around for some decently sized leaves, he expertly crafted them into a patch covering his privates and a good portion of his backside. “Well, I am not going to figure out how I got where here is, by just standing around. First thing first I need to find is some clothes, no way I can remain undetected by the military if I am dressed in nothing but a bunch of leaves.” Unknown to Bruce, the Military would be the least of his worries for now. Princess Celestia, the most powerful being known in Equestria, was currently doing one of the most challenging, and difficult task known to society. You think it would be raising the Sun. Nope, that is but a simple task for the God like Alicorn. She is a princess, and it is her role duty to watch and care for her subjects. While normally a Princess would act as more of a figure head rather then a government official; but unfortunately her influence among pony kind has practically made the entire society run both on her, and her sister Princess Luna’s, decisions. Its not that she didnt take her job seriously, she loved her subjects with every ounce of her being. Its just alot of pressure on two individuals, even if they are Goddesses, they are still stressed out with day to day Meetings, Councils, Courts, etc... Lucky for Princess Celestia, today has been an easy day for her so far. Only several hundred of her subjects have come to seeking her advice, help, wisdom, blessing, or anything in-between. Sitting atop her throne with two of the Royal Guards on each side, she was currently meeting with a Pony who had come all the way from Las Pegasus just to seek Princess Celestias Blessing. He was a scrawny little Earth Pony who goes by the name of Strong Leaf, with a dark brown coat and short, light green hair, and abnormally pink colored eyes, with a cutie mark of a Wooden Leaf. Princess Celestia even had to do a double take on the strange Earth Pony. Normally Earth Ponies were known for their natural Strength and physical abilities; but this one was smaller then the average Earth Pony and had such rare eyes, something she has not seen in hundreds of years. “Hello My Little Pony, and how may I help you today” Inquired Princess Celestia, forming a smile that she has practiced over the centuries of her rule. Its the same smile a loving mother would give to her children. As you can imagine, meeting with a God like figure in person can be pretty intimidating, but that smile always seems to calm down her subjects and make them feel more comfortable. “Umm hello your m-majesty. Uhh if you wouldn't mind me asking your royal highness if I could maybe ummm” “Wow” Celestia thought to herself, this pony is very shy and timid. Reminds her of another one of her subjects, a famous hero in fact. Celestia couldn't help but giggle a little in front of her subject. “Please Strong Leaf, no need to be so nervous around me, I don't bite and I certainly will do everything within my power to help you with your problems. Now tell me, how can I ease your worries” Strong leaf seemed to get less tense, then Celestia could see he was starting to form a huge red spot on his cheeks. He was blushing profusely. “Well you see Princess, I came before you today t-to, to ummm,” He closed his eyes and then in a loud voice that not even Celestia had expected “I WANT TO ASK THIS MARE I LOVE TO MARRY ME AND I WOULD LIKE YOUR BLESSING!!!!” Awww this is so adorable Celestia thought to herself. He traveled hundreds of miles, to ask for his rulers blessing for his marefriend. She got off of her throne, much to the Royal Guards surprised, and began making her way to see Strong Leaf. Strong leaf still had his eyes closed as he waited her judgement. He suddenly felt a soft and warm feeling on his forehead. He opened his eyes and was completely shocked. Princess Celestia, the most powerful being on the planet, personally made her way up to him, and began to nuzzle him on his forehead. His Blushing intensified to the point where his face was as red as a tomato. “My Little Pony, I can see you are going to be a wonderful Husband, and maybe even a father someday.” Again, she couldn't believe his face could get any redder, but it did. “You have my blessing Strong Leaf, I know you will grow around a loving family and a wife that stays true to you and you alone. Also, that blushing is adorable and you should do it more often around her.” Celestia said with a wink. Strong Leaf gave one quick bow while still maintaing a cherry red face, and then ungracefully left the court. Celestia made her way back up to her throne and levitated a piece of paper containing all of her schedule appointments. “Oh my, I dont think this has ever happened before” Celestia muttered to herself in complete amusement. She looked at the paper in front of her again; carefully observing ever little detail. Celestia let out a sigh of relief and jumped off of her chair, much to again, startle the guards stationed at their post. They never saw their princess act so informal. “I have no more meetings. No Courts, Councils, nothing!” Celestia trotted over to the nearest window and took a good look at the position of the sun in the sky. It looked like it was just a little past noon. She couldn't believe she finished all of her royal responsibilities so quickly, and leaving so much time to spare. “Maybe I will have some time to hang out with Woona, or maybe pay a visit to my faithful student Twilight Sparkle” Celestia thought to herself. “Today is going to be a wonderful day”. Unfortunately for Celestia, Fate has other plans for the Sun Goddess. For you see, today, was going to be the start of something big. Today was a day like no other. It was one of those special occasions where nature was in perfect equilibrium. The sun was high up in the sky, offering the perfect amount of warmth and light to those below. There was a pleasant breeze in the air that tickled your skin and brought out the most exuberant of emotions. The smell of flowers was prominent and strong in the beautiful fields of grass surrounding the citizens of the small local town known as Ponyville. It was really something special. Unfortunately, not everypony could enjoy the natural gift that was bestowed upon Equestria that day. On the outskirts of the EverFree forest was one Pony in particular who, for what it is worth, would sacrifice her own pleasures for the satisfaction of others. Instead of going out play with her dearly beloved friends, she spends this day residing in her cottage taking care of her animal friends. Her Name is Fluttershy, Hero to Equestria and holder of the Element of Kindness. She is what her name implies; very shy, timid, and kinda uncomfortable around ponies she hasn't met. Though this is also what makes her connect more with the animals surrounding her that she takes care of everyday. Many of the animals she looks after are very appreciated and praise her for the compassion she has showed them. All except one in particular; the most loyal but aggressive rabbit around the quiet pegasus. Angel Bunny was, by no means, a normal Rabbit. He was always there to comfort and cheer up Fluttershy whenever the situation demanded it. Granted, he can be rude and easily irritated, they both shared a very close bond to each other that would overcome even the greatest of obstacles. Angel Bunny also had one very special characteristic that none of the other animals shared; he was a very picky eater. "How about- EEP!, what about-AAH!, what do you think about thi-Ouch!!!" Fluttershy was currently being bombarded by various food items as she tired to appeal to the very annoyed and irritated Bunnys taste buds. This is been going on for nearly an hour and even the paitent and caring fluttershy can get at little tired of her companions actions. "Angel Bunny I really want you to be happy, I really do, I just don't know what you want. Please eat something Angel". Fluttershy offered a very sincere smile as she carefully approched the Bunny with a carrot salad. Angel Bunny looked at the salad and began to show a sign of interest. He walked toward the salad and began to inspect every inch of it, most to Fluttershys delight. She closed her eyes as she siliently gave herself a pat of the back when all of a sudden she felt something abruptly hit her face. While the salad did not meet the bunnys picky appetite, it made for an excellent projectile to the unsuspecting pegasus. She wiped her face off from what remained of the salad and turned to see Angels Bunnys arms crossed over his chest with the same, irritated expression he has been having throughout this whole ordeal. "Angel Bunny please...I ju-" Fluttershy was cut off short as Angel Bunny angrly trotted over to a bookshelf. Interested at the rabbits strange behavior, Fluttershy trots over to her little companion to see what he is trying to do. She finds him on the floor, flipping frantically through the pages of what looks like a fairly new and fancy book. She instantly recognizes that book as- "Oh thats the book I borrowed from Twilight a few days ago, *Exquisit et les aliments de fantaisie*. But that book has very complicated and rare dishes in it, why would you wa-" Fluttershy could not finish her sentence as the book Angel Bunny was skimming though was now directly in front of her face. On the page was possibly the most complex and difficult dish she had ever seen. "Oh....My.... Angel Bunny is...is this what you want. I don't even know if I have enough ingredients to make this." Fluttershy lowered the book from her face to meet Angel Bunny; but instead of seeing an irritated rabbit, she was met with possibly the most adorable and cute eyes she has ever seen. She could not believe it; it was his variation of 'The Stare' with the difference being it was not used for intimidation, but rather it was used to intensify the natural cutness of the Bunny. She rarely saw him use it; he must really want to try this dish out. *sigh* "Ok Angel you win, I will have to make a trip to the market to get all of the ingredients. While I am gone I expect you to.... Wait..." Fluttershy looked at the page again, inspecting the long list of ingredients needed to make this complex dish. She then noticed a critical error. "Angel Bunny there is a problem with this recipe. It requires a very rare and unique ingredient. The Topaz Mushroom. I dont even know where-" Angel Bunny put his paw up to Fluttershys mouth to stop her from worrying about the last ignredient. He then began to make alot of strange, funny, and serious gestures with his hands in an attempt to tell Fluttershy- "You mean to tell me that you know where you can get the Mushroom Angel. Well that is wonderful! I am so happy you are willing to help me out with this dish, thank you Angel Bunny. Umm......if you dont mind me asking, where is it?" Angel Bunny quickly made his way towards the window where he stuck his paw out to the location. Fluttershy looked at Angels arm, lined it up in her sight and found out its in the- "EVERFREE FOREST! Angel Bunny I am sorry but I dont want you to go out there just for a Mushroom.. There are alot of scary creatures that live their and its not safe to go. I really want to see you happy Angel Bunny and I know this dish means alot to you, but I cant let you risk your safety over it. Please try and understand." Angel Bunny Stood there, he wasn't mad or throwing a tempertantrum. No, he was looking at Fluttershy with eyes that were filled with determination, confidence, and most of all, love. He really liked Fluttershy, he trusted her with his life. Now, he was asking the same for Fluttershy, and she knew it too. As they both stood their, staring into each other, and getting an understanding of their emotions, Fluttershy realized something. "Alright Angel Bunny.....I trust you. I just care about you so much. If you got hurt or injured I just...jus-" Fluttershy couldn't finish her thoughts as Angel Bunny embraced her in a heartfelt hug. It was at that moment that Fluttershy realized Angel Bunny, was going to be just fine. "Thanks Angel; I guess I needed that. Just promise me you will stay safe and not go too deep into the forest. I....I love you Angel Bunny, don't you forget that." With one final nuzzle on the forehead, Angel Bunny with a blushing face, bounced towards the edge of the EverFree Forest to begin his journey. Meanwhile, deep within the EverFree Forest, a troubled soul wanders and navigates through the colorful and bizarre new land. "This is so strange" Banner thought to himself. It has been nearly an hour and nothing came to try and attack, hurt, or kill him. In fact, it seems apparent that the longer he continues his trek through the woods, the more peaceful it becomes. For the first time in his long and painful life, Banner felt something he hasn't felt in a long time. He didn't know if it was caused by the welcoming rays of the sun, or the peace and serenity that the forest seemed to be emitting. What he felt was Happiness. It won't last. Banner stopped all movement at once. The last thing he wanted to hear was his voice. A voice from a being who is consumed by rage, sadness, and most of all, loneliness. "You don't know that Hulk. Look at this place, its beautiful. Everything I have seen so far here while walking is in absolute...harmony with the world. I don't know where we are, but from what I can tell we are safe, and away from any danger." Stupid Banner.Just because this place appeals to your weak and pathetic eyes, you let your guard down. We are never safe, you should understand that by now. "Hulk, I know you can feel it too. We share the same mind and body. This place is....... different. It offers a sense of comfort. I feel as though we can can be safe here. We don't have to always be on the run Hulk. Not here. I feel, different. At peace for once. We dont have to always be afriad." SHUT UP! This place is no different than from anywhere else we have been. Arizona, Georgia, New York, Mexico, Brazil, Canada, It doesn't matter. WE WILL ALWAYS BE HUNTED, FEARED, AND ALONE. WE WILL NEVER HAVE PEACE BANNER!!!! NEVER!!!!........not here............. not anywhere. Banner was shocked to find the tone of the Hulk's last words to be not of anger, but of sadness. He understood every word he said. He didn't want to believe it, but he was right. Dammit. He was right. They would always be considered nothing more than a monster. "I wish It was different Hulk. I.....really do." With that he hung his head low and continue this walk towards the unknown. Suddenly the once beautiful and brightforest around them seemed....darker. It lost all the appeal it had minutes ago. The trees were just what they appeared to be. Trees. Nothing more and nothing less. The grass no longer had that elegant glow to them, it was just grass. The forest didn't seem so inviting now. It just made them feel more isolated and alone. Unknown to Banner, he was not alone. He was far from it. The EverFree forest is full of terrifying and powerful creatures; Manticores, Hydras, Timber Wolves, Trolls, Dragons, and even the infamous Ursa Major. It was only a matter of time before Banner would meet one of these fearsome predators. *Snapp* Unfortuniately for Banner, that time might be now. He stopped walking immediately as he heard the sound of snapping wood. Millions of thoughts raced through his mind. Was someone following him? Was it a wild animal? Was it Hostile? Could it be the Military? But one thought that raced through his mind he knew with absolute certianty was that the Hulk was right. He would never be alone; never be completely safe. Banner began to scan his surrounds for any weapon, or environmental cover he could use to aid him against whatever was coming up to him. *Crack* The sounds were getting louder. That meant that whatever was coming, was getting closer. What was once a leisurely stroll though the bright woods turned into a full on sprint for his life. He needed to either fight or hide. He favored the latter of the two decisions. He could swear that the faster he ran, whatever chased him actually got closer. Suddenly it was starting to get brighter. "Oh Crap, I am about to run out of forest area. Whatever is chasing me, it can see me plain as day once I get to the clearing" Bruce thought to himself. The closer he got to the clearing, the more he would hear this strange and steady sound. The soil below him was starting to get more loose and a bit more moist. Hope was returning to Bruce as he put the dots together. He realized that it was not just any plain clearing, but it was actually- "A water current. Of course! There must be some sort of river or other water source up ahead. I have to get there before whatever is chasing me, beats me to it." He was close, 100 yards away. He was starting to get tired. "Can't give up, I will not get captured again!" His speed increased to its max. Blood Pumping and full of adrenaline, Banner gives it all his little body is capable of. 50 yards away. *RAAAAAAAWWAR!!!!* The roar of the angry beast behind him made Banner come to a startling realization. That whatever was chasing him was not only going to catch up, but was not alone. The creatures that chased him were not only fast, but they were big. Banner was starting to feel the very earth shake from the beast heavy footsteps. Suddenly his chances of escaping seemed to get lower with each passing second. 25 Yards away. Banner was at his limit. He was so close to freedom. Suddenly, it seems like they were so close that he could feel the breathing of the hungry predators that chased him. Curiosity overtook him for a second as he wanted to grasp how close he was to escaping, or to meeting his doom. As he turned his head around he was completely terrified. He was met with over a dozen of the most massive, angry, and savage wolves he has ever seen. They were somewhere between 8-12 feet tall, easily rivaling the size of the Hulk. He was quiet shocked when he noticed another prominent physical feature that each of the colossal beast shared; they were made out of what looked like wood. He did not have enough time to truley marvel at their unique and frightening bodies, he didn't have time to think at all. All he needed to focus on was running and making to the river. 5 yards away. Banner makes his way to the clearing only to be met with a frightening suprise. There was no river. What Banner heard was indeed water. A Water Fall. Banner, through the heat of the moment, could not process the information his eyes were recieving fast enough until it was too late. He ran past the trees to the clearing, and straight off the edge of the forest decending to the water abyss below. AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! The very last thing Banner was able to hear was another voice. A voice he and he alone recognized immediately. Puny Banner Painful TruthPain. It is always the first thing that Banner feels when the transformation happens. His skin rips apart from the pressure his body is exerting to grow. His bones break as they rebuild themselves to be even stronger. His organs increase in size and his muscles tear apart as they prepare for the beast arrival. His veins burst as they too succumb to the transformation, his gamma irradiated blood cells grow several times their original size. It always hurt so much for Banner to transform, its one of the reasons he hates the Hulk. It is a feeling similar to that of dying, but instead of actually giving in to the pain, he gives in to an even greater emotion. Rage. He must have fallen several hundred feet. It didn't matter. The Hulk was in control now and as far as I know, Nothing can kill him. I still feel what he feels so, sees what he sees, hears what he hears. We share the same Body and Mind. I share his pain, his rage, his sadness. He is a misunderstood creature, he does not fight because he wants to. He fights because he has to. I feel the earth shake as the Hulk finally plants his feet into solid ground as we reach the bottom of the falls. He creates a small crater where he lands; debris of of rock and soil are flown about at his landing. Serveral other craters are formed due to the giant wolves. Some of them have pursued him even after the fall, though not all of them. I was indeed shocked at how their bodies were able to survive the impact, they were clearly stronger and more durable than we thought, but they were smaller in numbers now. What seemed like over a dozen of the gargantuan beast, there were now only about six of them in total. They were determined, hungry, but most of all, mad. GRAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!! The Hulk roared in pure rage at the group of timber wolves that surrounded him. They were nearly his size and rivaling the display of fury that he was showing. I could feel him, the Hulk for all of his power and rage, was thinking about how to kill the massive beasts, waiting to see who made the first move. It wasn't the Hulk. The first of the wolves charged and leapt at the Hulk from the front, not only were the creatures big but they were faster than given credit for. Teeth flaring and rage visible in his eyes, the beast made the move with the intent to kill on the first strike. The wolf had no idea how wrong it was. The Hulk quickly dodged by stepping to his side, just in time to watch the beast fly past his face. It came so close the Hulk could smell the flesh stained breath of the wolf, but he wasn't finished there. Just before the wolf completely passed the Hulk, as soon as his tail was pass his face, the Hulk reached behind him and grabbed it in midair. Using the momentum the beast created from the jump, the Hulk pulled the beast forward and slammed it back onto the ground in front of him. The sound of bones snapping and organs bursting was prevalent in the once quiet woods. The first of the attacking wolves was dead, a small, bloody crater was around the broken remains timber wolf. The second wolf saw the opportunity the first one presented. Taking advantage of the current distraction, and fueled by the rage needed to avenge his lost companion, this one charged the Hulk from the side. While this one was not as big as the first attacker, which was probably the eldest, it made up its lack of strength in speed. This one was able to get within feet of the Hulk before- HA!!! It wasn't fast enough. The Hulk, with one hand still on the shattered remains of the first wolf, brought up his other fist to meet the second wolves lower jaw. The result was an upper cut that instantly made the beast skull shatter and his brain eject. The impact was so powerful it resulted in a miniature shock wave which shook the trees and cracked the ground beneath them. The second wolves body was ejected out of the area from the result of the punch. GRAAAAHHHHH!!!! WHO'S NEXT!!!!!!! The fourth and fifth wolf learned from their dead brothers mistakes. They did not attack individually, this time, they would make it a team effort. They both positioned themselves at opposite sides of the Hulk. The Hulk's grip tightened around the tail of the dead wolf in front of him. He was expecting this, he has fought wolves before, never this big and strong, but he's fought them before. He knew how this fight was going to end. Tch...... Well.....I dont have all day. BRING IT!!!!!! The two beast, brimming with rage and hatred towards their enemy, charged the Hulk. Each one of them with their mind set on one thing, and one thing only; To Kill. The Hulk picked up the dead wolf by his tail, and swung it to the right, hitting the fourth wolf and sending both of the bodies crahsing into the trees by him.The fifth wolf on the other hand was able to get on the Hulks back and bring his massive fangs onto the Hulk's neck. Unfortunately for the beast, his teeth were no where near strong enough to pierce the Hulk's nearly unbreakable skin. You want to know how it feels to have a 2,000 pound, radioactive, pissed off man to come crashing down on you. It is deadly. The Hulk quickly, while the fifth Wolf was still on his back trying desperately to bite down, flopped down on his back. The wolf was instanly crushed under the massive weight from the Hulk's body. The fourth wolf soon burst out of the trees, apparently only stunned by the collosion of the other wolf. The Hulk while still on his back merely grinned in pleasure for what he was about to do. The wolf sprinted towards the Hulk and then jumped into the air, hoping to pin the Hulk down while he was still on his back. Stupid Wolf The wolf was only a couple of feet away from the Hulk when all of a sudden- Silence. The Hulk drove his foot into the monsters chest with incredible force. It did not even make a sound. It was so fast with so much strength behind it that the wolf had no time to register what happened. It was dead. The Hulk got up on his feet, leaving the fourth and fifth wolf to rot behind him. He turned around to find the sixth wolf and kill it. What he was facing completely suprised even the Hulk. Staring straight at the Hulk was indeed the final wolf, but there was something wrong. Instead of Hatred and Anger it should have displayed in front of the Hulk, it was showing a different emotion, something a predator should never show its prey. It was afraid. Upon further looking at it, Hulk realized that this wolf was really small compared to the rest. The ones Hulk killed were around his size, but this one was no taller than a humans waist. It was small almost- Its a young pup. Hulk never harmed a child before, reguardless of its race, species, or affilation to good or evil. The longer the Hulk stared into the eyes of the young wolf the more he began to see it. His eyes were filled with nothing but fear and despair. Its legs were shaking and it looked as if it was going to cry at any second. Hulk knew it didn't want to fight. It just wanted to live. Oh Luna~ Where are you my little sister~ Princess Celestia teased while playing one of her favorite games; Hide and Seek. She was more than grateful for the day off. She could not remember the last time she had spent some quality time with her younger sister. Sure it was several hours before her sister would normally be up, but she didn't mind spending a few hours with her sister when the opportunity was there. It seems like the majority of her life now was spent writing, reading, or attending to the needs of her loyal subjects. She never really had some time to herself, to just have some fun. Sometimes, she wishes she could just take a break once in a while. But never the less, she did not care about that now. All that concerned her was where her adorable, and ninja of a sister was hiding. "You can't hide forever Luna~ I'll find you sooner or later" She knew it could not be that hard. Could it? They both agreed that they would not use their magic or wings to aid them in their game. She then began to navigate through the halls in the beautiful and stunning interior of the Castle. It was a work of art really. Halls where the floors glimmered and shinned in the light of the sun, filled with columns that displayed intricate and complex artwork that has been so painstakingly carved into them. Such a sight would of made the Greek Ponies of the old time marvel at the work of art. The Castle windows only amplified the beauty of the hallways; sunlight shining through mixed with the various colors that each of the window art displayed. Below them were hundreds of paintings with a different story on each one. She looked at them while passing by; each of them telling the tales of the long forgotten. Celestia and Luna though, remembered each and every single event that was depicted on the paintings. It told stories of adventures from the time Celestia and Luna first found the Elements of Harmony, to the journey they made as fillies to the depths of Tartarus. Celestia never realized it but in these halls, their entire life was in the form of paintings. Well most of it, some stuff remained a secret that only the Alicorn Sisters would know. The paintings even depicted some of the sisters greatest triumphs, but also their greatest downfalls. She took a moment to pause and glance up at the first picture of one of their greatest foes, Discord. Never have they ever seeing a creature with such raw power; able to tap into the primal energy of the universe itself and bend reality at will with his thoughts alone. She remembered when he descended on their planet, a cruel and wicked grin on his face. With the snap of his figure he caused volcanoes to erupt, made it rain fire, created tsunamis, and shook the very planet to its core. He even, for his own amusement, literally turned off the sun with a lamp switch. If there was one thing more terrifying then his power or his childish attitude, it was the one statement he made to the sisters in their first fight. A distant memory resurfaced itself in Celestia's head. She remembered the three of them, her sister and discord, interlocked in a battle to determine the fate of their planet. She remembered seeing her sister, bloodied and battered, her wings bent in unnatural ways, face scarred and gash marks in her torso. Her hind leg was twisted and bone shattered. With cursed chains enchanted with the ability to dampen magic, she couldn't even heal herself, let alone move a single inch; even her horn was chipped and charred. Her sister wasn't in any better condition. Having struggling to keep up with the laughing maniac, she suffered internal bleeding and a few broken bones in ribs. She fired another blast of primal magic from her horn at the monster, only to have him effortlessly smack it away with nothing more then his serpent like tongue. The blast flew away, into the distance, ending in a bright flash and half a mountain missing. Her magic, for all its godly might, even with the ability to tap into the very stars themselves, was failing her. This was a losing fight, it was only a matter of time. DISCORD! WHY! WHY DO YOU DO THIS? WHY HAVE YOU COME AND CAUSE MY SUBJECTS PAIN AND SUFFERING! WHY IS EVERYTHING A BUCKING JOKE TO YOU! YOU FORCE MY LITTLE PONIES TO ABANDON THEIR HOMES, LIVE IN CAVES, TO STARVE AND WATCH THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS DIE! YOU HAVE SUBJECTED THEM TO TERROR AND FEAR! WHY CANT YOU JUST LEAVE US ALONE AND LET US LIVE. IN. PEACE!!!! Ever since the fight started, hes been doing nothing but cracking jokes and toying with them. He could of killed them in the first minute, ending all their efforts without so much as a forethought. No, instead this fight has dragged out to nearly an hour, with him flicking away and mocking every attack the Alicorn sisters threw at him. Something change though, his smirk disappeared, his grin sunk to a scowl, and his childish demeanor changed to that of a ancient and wise deity. It was a look that Celestia saw once, and would never forget. That's not how the universe works. I came to this planet not because I wanted to, but because I needed too. Everything you know, this entire universe, works on a system of checks and balances. I am here to instill anarchy and chaos because this place lacks it. There is no such thing as a utopia young Godling. Remember this and remember it well. Too much of something will always create the opposite. Even if I do one day disappear, others will take my place. Whether they be agents of destruction or acolytes of hope, there will always be a balancing factor. That's the way the universe works. The Price Of Mercy Leave. Hulk continued to look into the eyes of the young wolf pup, eyes that showed nothing but terror and hopelessness. It couldn't even move, it was too afraid too. After seeing four of his elders easily killed by the green monster in front of him, he was too scared to do much of anything. The young wolf never wanted to attack the creature, it was merely following the orders of the older wolves. The two beast stood there, one full of fear, the other full of sadness. Hulk hated those eyes. He has seen them so many times in the past, and they always came back to haunt him. Those eyes of fear made him into what everyone else portrays him as, a Monster. You are too young to die. Go back to where you came from. Hulk began to turn around and walk away, he couldn't stand to see those painful eyes any longer. It filled him with nothing but despair. The turned his head around the get one good look at the young and afraid pup before leaving the area. I'm.....Sorry..... The Hulk then bent down and jumped off into the distance, leaving the small timber wolf alone and still very terrified, surrounded by the bodies of his comrades; but actually it wasn't really alone. Out of the shadows came the third timber wolf. Hiding and viewing the entire scene. The wolf was smart, it realized that this creature was on a differently level of power and would eventually beat their hunting group. The elder timber wolf knew that pursuing it would be a futile effort and would only result in their death. No, he needed to see the leader of their pack and inform him about this new and dangerous creature, but first it needed to take care of one small problem. The third wolf was angry at the pup, it was disgusted by its show of weakness. Being afraid of your prey was not tolerated by the wolf pack, and the punishment was sever. The elder wolf walked over to the cowering mass in front of it, curled up into a ball to avoid the onslaught that was in front of him. The elder wolf bent down and picked up the young pup in his mouth. He then with swung his head back, and then forward, throwing the young pup into a nearby tree with so much force the young wolf smashed right through and out the other side. The young pup was on the ground, crying and bleeding. The impact almost broke some of his bones. The elder wolf did not care. It came forward to the young pup and put one of his paws on the pups neck, choking the poor creature. "Next time you show any sign of weakness, I will not hesitate to kill you. You are pathetic; lucky our master did not see this display of cowardice. Now come on, we have to tell him of this new...........creature." The elder wolf released the young pup from the bottom of his paw. Gasping for air as the life was nearly taken away by the older wolf, the young pup struggled to get back up, sliping slightly from the now injured legs. KRWAAAARRR!!!!! The elder wolf let out a massive roar, its purpose was to get the attention of the other hunting parties. It was only used for absolute emergencies. This, was definitely worthy of the call. Other howls of the timber wolves echoed across the Everfree forest, relaying the message to the thousand that were currently hunting. The forest was the wolves territory, and this new creature threatened their home and hunting grounds. I will see you at our meeting grounds. And rememeber young one, show any more signs of fear, and I will end you. The elder wolf then began his journey back to his leader, the little one on the other hand had a another idea entirely. It was curious about the Green Beast. It wanted to know more about it. It's origin, name, was it good or evil. All of those questions came second to the most important question, if it could help him. The young pup went over to the spot where the Hulk was standing and began to sniff the area, hoping it could get its sent. It needed to find it, at all cost. It was scared no doubt, but this creature, even though it killed about 4 of his "comrades" it was still friendlier then the wolves leader. After picking up the smell of the beast, the wolf set off into the distance, hoping to find the green powerhouse known as the Hulk. Everyone knows the story of the Turtle and the Rabbit. The race they had is infamous and is known by pretty much everyone. One thing all rabbits are known for is being fast and agile. This was definitely true in Angel Bunnies case. The white rabbit was unfortunately having a horrible, horrible day. What used to be just a simple scavenger hunt for a mushroom, turned to be a situation where his life was on the line. Its not completely Angel's fault, he did not know he would have to go so deep into the forest to find this infamous ingredient for the dish he wanted. He was able to find the mushroom he was looking for, but what the rabbit did not know was that it was being followed. You see, the pure white rabbit was an incredibly rare species of rabbits. There meat was considered a delicacy by the wolves. Angel Bunny was currently hopping, dodging, and weaving in and out through the roots of trees and other natural obstacles that were in his path. He was in the sprint of his life. Behind him were about four of the massive muscular timber wolves who were, instead of being as flexible and agile as the rabbit, were smashing and ramming through the obstacles in its path. Angel Bunny knew something was wrong. No matter how many times he has gone into the forest, he knew that there should not have been so many wolves out. And not so close to the edge of the forest either. He had only gone in several miles, yet there were dozens of them. Angle Bunny thought he could avoid them, but unfortunately some of them caught on to his sneaky attempts. Now, the only thing on his mind was to run, and run faster. They were getting closer. He knew he could not out maneuver them. They were stronger, faster, bigger, and overall more powerful then the tiny rabbit. Eventually they would catch up and reach the bunny. It was only a matter of time, and everyone knows what happens when a predator catches up to its prey. Angel bunny tilted his head a little to the side, trying to get a view of how far away he was from the wolves. *Slash* Angel Bunny narrowly avoided a fatal attack, a very small portion of the wolves claw hit the backside of the little rabbit, a bloody gash across his back. Angel Bunny fell and tumbled on the ground, rolling until he hit the base of a small tree. The pain was immeasurable. It might of damaged his spine as well because the bunny could not even move its legs. The wolves, snickering as they approach the injured rabbit, their prey as good as dead. The biggest one of the group walked forward, fangs ready to deliver the final blow to the neck. All seemed lost for the poor bunny until- KRRAAAWWWRR!!! Nearly inches away from its prey the wolf stopped what it was doing immediately. Instead of easily killing the injured rabbit, it looked up in the air with a bit of confusion. Flopping its ears back and forth, it acted as if it was trying to comprehend the sound it just heard. After several other roars similar to the first he heard, it realized something. It just heard the most important howl the wolves knew. The wolf looked at his comrades, each one showing a sign of understanding and concern. The leader then looked at the sky and let out a roar similar to the one they just heard. Each of the wolves relayed the message to all of the other hunting groups in the area, to stop what you are doing immediately and get back to their home. The wolves, satisfied with their message being heard, began to leave the area, now sprinting off into the distance, leaving the rabbit against the tree. Bleeding, tired, and weak, Angel was on the verge of passing out but saw everything; he never knew the wolves could be so coordinated and tactical. Why did they leave me here? They could of easily killed me, what are they doing? Thought the small and now helpless rabbit. I have to get back to Flutttershy, the forest is not what it used to be, something big is happening, and I have to get her to a safe place. I...I can't move my legs, and I lost feeling in most of my body. I have to do something, even If I have to crawl all the way back to her, I have to save her. Angel Bunny, even though he is body is nearly broken, put his pain aside for the safety of his dear friend, Fluttershy. He thought about all of the acts of kindness that the shy pegasus showed him. From the time she found him on the edge of the forest injured and starving, to giving him a home and a place to sleep. She fed him everyday and did not treat her like just an animal, but as a friend. Summoning all of the strength he had left, Angel Bunny got down on his chest, and began to crawl towards the edge of the forest. He was still pretty far away from it, about two miles give or take. He continued from what seemed like hours, it was starting to get dark and Angel, even though he cared deeply about her friend, could not continue on the amount of energy he had left. He was low on blood and has not eaten or drank any water all day. At this rate, he would die. Angel Bunny then caught the sennt of what appeared to be water. The air around him was moist. There was water around, something the dehydrated bunny desperately needed. He began to crawl forward, just a little more it thought. If he could just get some water, it could give him some more energy. He made his way to the clearing, his vision was becoming blurry and disoriented. He knew he was going to pass out anytime soon. He was so close to the pool of water in front of him. Dammit...I cant die, not here, not now! His thoughts were cut off short as he heard the sound of crashing trees around him. It did not matter to him anyway, he knew he could not make it back all the way to Fluttershys, he tired but he was simply too weak and tired. Figures...they came back to finish the job, I did leave a trail of blood. I'm so sorry...Fluttershy. The last thing the rabbit saw before he blacked out was a giant, green figure. Then darkness surrounded him. Thousands upon thousands of timber wolves gathered inside of the cave by the mountain side. Each and everyone of them heard the call and was eagerly awaiting for there master to come. They formed a circle around the original wolf that first signaled the call. It was the one that would give the report to there powerful and merciless master. Then they saw it, a dark figure coming out the shadows. It was massive, about 15 feet tall, standing on two massive muscular legs supported by a tank like upper body. His claws were so sharp, they looked as if they could cut steel like it was paper. Its eyes glowed with a certian hatred towards all things. It was their lord and master, God of the Timber wolves, Valdis The Destroyer. YOUNG WOLF! How dare you use the our sacred call to summon me, and no less on the day before our great plan to attack Pony Kind. Valdis was not happy, not at all. Master we have a problem. A monster of size as great as yours has killed several of our brothers. We fear he could stop your glorious plan from becoming a reality. It attacked us with the ferocity of a demon, the strength of a hundred dragons, and with the speed of the wind. It is a giant green monster that showed no fear even in overwhelming numbers. I worry that this creature might prevent us from achieving your goal master. Now it was Valdis turn to look suprised. He did not anticipate this. He has been alive for almost a thousand years and never has he heard of such a monster. Then the wolf noticed something different on his master, he wasn't angry, he was happy. He beagn to make a sadistic grin and laugh. Ha....Haha....Hahahahah!!!! This is interesting. Alright Hunter, I will ease your worries. ATTENTION MY FELLOW TIMBER WOLVES! There has been a change in plans. Instead of tomorrow on the morrow, I shall personally seek and kill this creature which strikes fear into the eyes of my Warriors. I shall mount its head above my throne, and we shall attack Ponyville TONIGHT!!!! The wolves began to howl and cheer at their masters proclamation. All but one wolf who had a worried look on his face. not to doubt you, my lord but, this creature, its strong. I think even you will have trouble dealing with it. Valdis grin disappeared instantly. He looked at the lone wolf who questioned his power. Valdis walked over to the wolf and gave him a puzzled look. The warrior wolf was completely afraid for what his master might do for his sudden outburst. He bent down to stare the wolf eye to eye, it then raised one of it's muscluar arms and placed his hand on top of his head, patting it gently. The wolf closed his eyes as he was being comforted by his God. You are weak. The wolf then opened his eyes in shock before- *CRACK* Valdis then applied monsterous force onto the wolfs head, shoving it into the ground and in the process crushing all the life it previous had seconds ago. DOES ANYONE ELSE DOUBT YOUR GOD'S POWER! All of the wolves had their heads down, not daring to make any eye contact or noise, not daring to question Valdis power. Pleased that none of them would dare speak- Now...WE KILL THE GREEN BEAST AND ATTACK PONYVILLE TONIGHT!!!! WE SHALL FEAST ON ALL WHO OPPOSE US! I, VALIDIS THE DESTROYER SHALL KILL ALL WHO STAND IN MY WAY! A Beacon of Hope The Hulk, after the confrontation with the wolves, continued to leap and jump for several miles. He noticed the landscape was entirely different than anything they have seen on Earth. Strange unique mountain ranges in the far west, a farm and a small town to the east, and what he could of sworn was a city hanging on the edge of a mountian. Banner, through the eyes of the Hulk, was taking in the information from the new surroundings, while growing more worried by the sound of what sounded like thousands of wolves howling. The Hulk on the other hand, he did not care. There was only one thing on his mind right now, the young pup. You should of probability killed him Hulk. Leaving that young wolf alive will cause nothing but trouble for us I already caused enough damage Banner. Besides, I don't hurt anyone who doesn't want to fight. You said it yourself Hulk. We will always be fighting and alone. That young wolf is probability going to get the rest of his pack and hunt us down, all because you could not kill a pup. The Hulk landed in a small clearing, contemplating what Banner has just told him. He was disgusted by his harsh words. He knew that logically, what he said was right, but morally- Sometimes Banner...I wonder who the real monster is. The Hulk started walking, pushing trees out of his way as he continued his trek through the unknown. While scanning his surroundings for any signs of danger, the Hulk spotted some of the weirdest and strangest looking trees he has ever seen. The fruit on these trees glowed with multicolored dots casting a subtle light on the shadowed forest floor. Despite the strangeness of the fruit, his hunger took priority. It did not matter what he ate, as long as he could eat something. From the nearest tree, he picked a round purple object the size of a bowling ball. It looked edible enough, though taste was a luxury to the green goliath. He stomach was built to convert anything he ate to pure, raw energy. Though it would be nice once in a while to get something tasty for a change. He took a bite of the abnormal fruit and- It is one of the worst tasting foods he has ever eaten, but he tolerates it for the sole reason that he just needs something on his stomach. Thinking back, he could not remember the last time they had eaten something. Stranger still, he did not remember anything that happened before waking up in this strange place. How did he and Banner get here in the first place, where ever 'here' is? The Hulk continued to eat the fruit, feeling strangely rejuvenated, almost like this fruit has some sort of healing properties to it. He continued to push down trees until he came upon another clearing. This time he could see he was not on the verge of falling several hundred feet again. What he saw in front of him was just a small pond of water that sparkled invitingly and offered a sense of tranquility. The Hulk calmly made his way to the edge of the pond, and began to drink some of its refreshing liquid. It would be getting dark soon; with food nearby and this pond available to him, it seemed like a good place to sleep and relax. Then a dark and depressing scent caught his attention. The smell of- Blood. The Hulk turned his attention to the source of the smell and began to walk around to find the source. After walking around the pool of water for a short time, he found it. The Hulk stopped looking at the small creature at his feet. It was one of the most stunning creatures the Hulk has ever seen. It was a rabbit whose fur was as white and pure as new fallen snow. The Hulk always liked the color white. It represented innocence and purity, things no one saw in the Hulk, nor ever would. The Hulk bent down to look at the creature, noticing that it had a huge slash mark on its back, where the smell of blood was prominent. Maybe he should of killed that tiny wolf, Hulk thought about for a second. He then lifted the small creature in both of its massive hands. Looking down on it, the Hulk wondered if this was a sign, a foreshadowing of his sad life. Such a pure and innocent creature, dying alone and in complete isolation to the world. It was still breathing, but very lightly now. It was going to die soon, and there was nothing he could do to prevent it. Then something strange caught his eyes, he could of sworn that he saw something sparkling in the sky as the Moon started to rise. He could not describe what it was, it had wings that stretched across the sky and were so black they absorbed the light. It seemed like the wings were engulfing the entire planet in black shroud. Stars started to appear in the darkness, one after the other, each one of them sparkling with life. It was a stunning sight. Such a shame that it would be on this very night, that the pure, white rabbit would die. "I see you are a fan of the night, green warrior." Hulk was so entranced by the spectacle above him, he failed to notice the wolf pup who was a couple of feet away from him. Did more of the wolves come back to hunt him like Banner said. He hated when he was right. Hulk did not want to fight, all it wanted was to be left alone on this peaceful night. Hulk tightened his muscles and narrowed his eyes towards the timber wolf. "I thought I told you to leave." Then the Hulk noticed that the wolf was limping, and had some dried blood on him. Hulk did not attack him, but something else did. It was hurt, but why? The wolf continued to look at the Hulk, with a completely different set of eyes. Fear and sadness had turned to resolve and hope. The Hulk set the rabbit down next to a tree and began to slowly advance on the wolf. "Why did you come here? What do you want from me young pup?" Hulk said with venom in his words, obviously starting to get very mad. The young wolf began to back away, obviously nervous and still afraid of the towering beast in front of it. The wolf then came to the sudden realization that this might not have been the brightest of ideas. EEP! The young pup tripped and fell over the root of a tree. The Hulk stopped advancing, and began to snicker at the young pup. "Ha...You are no threat, just stupid. Leave before I change my mind young one." Hulk then turned around and began to walk back towards the pond when all of a sudden- "Wait! Please I did not come here to be told to leave! I...I need your help. Please, I think you are the only one who I can trust." Hulk, stopping in place was confused. I just killed four of your pack, and now you are looking for my help? Are you crazy? Also, why should I trust you. You are the one who attacked me in the first place!" The young wolf pondered the situation carefully, realizing that he was right. The creature in front of him had no reason to trust him. Then he realized that he had a sort of connection to the rabbit before, but it was going to die...Unless- "What If I told you how you can save that bunny? Would you trust me then?" The Hulk thought about the pup's words. Was he speaking the truth, he has been betrayed before, and it has cost him dearly. He looked down at the dying rabbit, a mixture of sadness and regret starting to fill his eyes. Though maybe this place was different, I mean talking wolves. The Hulk has seen strange things but never talking wolves. "Be quick with your words. I swear if you double cross me I will kill you." The wolf slowly, but with renewed vigor in his eyes, began to come closer to the pool of water. He noticed the purple fruit sitting on the side. He motioned the Hulk to come over and take one of the fruit. "My elders showed me that this particular fruit has amazing healing abilities. Its juices seals wounds and speed up the bodies natural healing. Just squeeze the fruit above the rabbit's injury and it should keep him alive longer for the time being." The Hulk, took the fruit and began to walk towards the white bunny. Putting very little effort into it, the Hulk squeezed out every ounce of juice the fruit had to offer on the injured rabbit. To the Hulks surprise, the wound began to glow and then close up. The rabbit was still unconscious, but it would live now. He had never seen a fruit with this type of ability before, it was almost as if the fruit itself was...magical. He took a seat by the pond- "What is your name?" "Huh..oh umm yes my name. Ummm its Vekk." "Thank you...Vekk." He then turned around and looked down at the wolf, who in turned looked at the Hulk with a sincere smile on his face. "So ummm...do you think you can trust me now? I promise you I am not like the other wolves. I ummm...dont like violence." "I can tell, and yes, for the time being I trust you. My other promise still stands though, betray me and I will kill you." The wolf took a seat down next to the pond and took a small sip of water, just something to help refresh him. "You are powerful. That much was clear earlier today. What I am about to ask you green warrior is very important. Something bad is about to happen soon. Hundreds of innocent are going to be slaughtered if you don't do something. You see that the timber wolves are the dominate species of these forest, but our leader wants to expand his territory. There is a small town not to far away from here, which he plans to attack. If our master does decide to attack that town, a major war will start and thousands of lives will suffer for the actions that will happen tonight, Unless you can stop him." "Why should I trust a traitor to his own species?" "Because! He is evil! We timber wolves never harm the innocent, not when we can help it. We never hunt outside of the forest. Besides...this new leader of ours is ruthless. He killed our previous master, Lord Nul, and took over his position of power. We have no idea where this new creature came from. Some of our elders say he came from the very pits of hell to the land of the living to cause nothing but chaos and destruction. We tried to rebel against him, knowing that his leadership was not what the pack wanted. That only resulted in the death of our loved ones...including my father and mother. Now, all of the wolves are too afraid to oppose him. He is too strong and powerful for us wolves to handle, but you on the other hand. I believe you can stop him and save all of those innocent lives. Please I am begging you!" The Hulk began to ponder what the wolf just said. Should he really get involved in this fight. A few hours ago those same wolves were trying to kill him. Now, one of them needed his help. And what makes you think I am not evil as well? I did kill some of your pack earlier. Because...You were kind enough to spare me. I saw it in your eyes, you didn't want to fight, we forced you too and I am sorry for that. The Hulk was shocked, he did not expect the wolf to offer an apology. He thought the young pup would come seeking revenge yet he was just here pleading for help. It's not our fight Hulk. Besides, it would just draw more attention to us, attention we do not need. If what the wolf said was true Banner, then thousands of lives are at stake here. I can't let those people die. Hulk even if you do help, they will still think of us as just a monster. And If I don't help them, I will appear of more of a monster to myself. The Hulk took one last, long look into the wolfs eyes. *Sigh* fine... I will help you. Now where is this leader of yours Vekk? If you follow me green warrior I ca- Dont call me that. My name is Hulk. The Strongest One There Is Ponyville. A small, quiet little town filled with hundreds of the most friendliest and unique ponies you will ever meet. It wasn't the most advance place to live, technology wise, in comparison to Las Pegasus or Manehattan; but it made up for it in the relationship that the towns folk shared with each other. Here in Ponyville, everypony knows who you are. Its one of those pony friendly towns where you can truly rely on your neighbors to assist you with any problem. What really made this town special though is the fact that it is the home of the Legendary Heroes of Equestria, the bearers of the Elements of Harmony. Living inside of a colossal tree, known as the Town's Library, was in fact one of the Heroes of Equestria, Twilight Sparkle. She represents the Element of Magic, and is an extremely powerful unicorn. She even saved the town in a couple of instances by herself like defeating an Ursa Minor, fixing a broken damn, and even helping the winter wrap up team meet their quota for the year. She was perhaps the most powerful non Alicorn pony on the planet, but she did have one critical weakness; her curiosity. Twilight Sparkle was a complete book nerd. She was Princess Celestia's personal student, which I guess would entitle her to have an interest in studies and the universe. Though occasionally, or to be more accurate, very frequently, would become completely obsessed in her studies. She would even go to extreme cases where she would dive into books for hours on end, completely ignoring basic needs like food, water, and even her 'personal business', only stopping when she would eventually pass out from mental exhaustion. Tonight, was one of those nights. She was currently currently reading one a book one of her friends actually recommended to her. She thought of the request strange but she said, "You are going to need to know this soon Twilight! My Pinkie Pie Sense is going off the charts!" Isolated in her thoughts and studies, Twilight Sparkle flipped through the last page of the book she was currently reading. After several minutes of reading the last page of the incredible complex but interesting book, she levitated her quill and scribbled down a few more notes onto her scroll. "Finally! All done. Pinkie Pie was sure right when she told me to try reading "Magic And It's Reaction To Radiation" would be an interesting read. I don't know how it will really benefit me for future purposes, but I could never pass up a good book." With that she levitated the rolled up scroll into the nearby bookcase, in alphabetical order to Twilight's delight. She looked at the clock and- "Oh My! I spent the entire day reading that one book!...Well I did think it was interesting, but *Yawn* I better go to bed now, I'm pretty sure I have a huge list of things I need to do tomorrow." Twilight started advancing towards her staircase when she heard a faint sound coming from behind her. She turned around to notice that her quill and ink had fallen and spilled all over her floor. "Shoot! Now I have to clean it up. Wait a minute what the-" Twilight was cut off as she saw several of her books fall from their respective places and hit the floor with a resounding thud. Her entire house started to shake. "What the hay is going on!" Twilight said, while nearly tripping trying to advance towards to door. Her horn glowed as her magically opened the door to realize its not just her house, its all of Ponyville that is being shaken up. Was it those cows stampeding again from the AppleFarm? "TWILIGHT!!!!" Twilight turned her head around to see her number one assistant, Spike, run and unfortunately tumble down the stair way. Spike rubbed his head from the impact and looked at Twilight with a mixture of fear and confusion. "Twilight what is going on! Why is everything shaking!" Twilight looked at the town before her, ponies running around in panic, mothers and fathers making sure there young ones were safe, and oddly enough one of them was carrying a lot of muffins to what looked like a safety shelter. She then turned her head around to Spike- "I think this is an earthquake Spike" Twilight said dumbfounded and very nervous about what this could mean for Ponyvilles citizens. As Twilight looked back out of her door again, she noticed a certain pink pony skipping and completely oblivious of the situation that was currently presenting itself. She bounced right up to Twilight with one of the most widest smiles she has ever seen. "Sup Twilight! Isn't this awesome!!! I thought I was the only one who was bouncing but now everypony is as well!!! Oh by the way, I hope you finished that book, because we are going to need that brain of yours soon! :D 5 Minutes ago in the EverFree Forest My name is Hulk. So...Take me to where- So Hulk is your name creature. The Hulk stopped all movement at once. Looking directly up, he noticed a strange bipedal beast standing on top of a boulder. He was huge, perhaps even bigger then the Hulk, with huge arms, massive legs, and claws that looked so sharp, it reminded him of a certain X-Men member that he hated. He looked powerful, he couldn't doubt that. Drawing his attention away from the creature, the Hulk noticed that there were multiple growling noises coming everywhere. The wolves surrounded them, they were trapped. Vekk...Grab the rabbit and run far away from here. Don't worry, I will clear a path for you. I take it this is the thing I need to kill. Valdis jumped down from the rock he was standing on, making the ground crack beneath him as he landed. He paused in his movement and looked at the young wolf pup. His eyes glowed an even darker shade of red as anger started to consume Valdis. So you are the one who killed four of my hunters. You insulted our honor and now you insult me by turning one of my own against us! I will rip out your heart and eat it in front of your dying eyes. Valdis began to advance slowly towards the Hulk, anger seething through his very being. Claws fully extended, their purpose was to cut the Hulk into pieces. Let the child go, we will kill him later. For now...I want the green one dead. The Hulk tightened his muscles, curled his mighty hands into a fist, and stared straight into the eyes of Valdis, every fiber of his being was filled with rage and hatred. You talk too much. With that the two beast charged each other, gaining a massive amount of speed mixed with power. RAAAWAAAARRR!!!!!!!! They both raised their fist into the air, and proceeded to hit each other with as much strength as possible. Their punch met the others, the force was so powerful it shook the ground beneath them, scattered trees and wolves around them and blew them back, and even made a crater beneath them where their feet used to be. It was so powerful it created a miniature earthquake. Both of the combatants were flown back from the result of the impact. The Hulk, only stopping when he met the resistance of the mountain side. His eyes were closed, a natural reaction for bracing one self from an imminent collision. His arm was shaking slightly, almost numb from meeting a force nearly equal to or more powerful then his own. His eyes flew open, anger starting to take over. He saw three wolves sprinting towards him while he was still lodged in the wall of rock. He quickly freed himself, and began to advance on the three wolves. Two of them split off from left to right, and jumped at him, trying to immobilize the use of his arms. They failed as the Hulk's quickly grabbed each of the wolves head in his hand and shoved their bodies into the ground. He could feel their bodies crumble and shatter upon the massive force the Hulk was now producing. It was similar to a person crumbling up a paper ball in his hands. The result produced a sickening blood splattering sound. The third wolf took the opportunity of his two fallen comrades and jumped straight forward to the Hulk. His hands, still in the ground after killing the other two, was unable to block the third attacker. The wolf opened his mighty jaws and sunk his teeth into the Hulk's neck, causing blood to trickle out of the open wound. GAAAHH!!! The Hulk cried out in momentary pain as somehow the wolf was able to pierce his skin. He released the other two dead wolves in the ground and grabbed the third attackers tail. With incredible brute strength, the Hulk ripped the tail out of the third wolf, causing it to yelp in pain. In the split second that caused the wolf to release his hold on the Hulk, he grabbed the wolf by both of his upper legs, and head butt the creature with so much power, that the third wolfs skull broke upon meeting its force and hurled him back through a nearby tree. The Hulk's wound quickly healed in a matter of seconds, but he was still wondering how the wolves got so much more powerful. It didn't matter, if they could still bleed, they could die. He then jumped into the air, hoping to get a better grasp on the situation and land in the spot where he and Valdis first met. What he saw before he landed was thousands of the massive wolves, all blood thirsty and driven by rage. The Hulk landed in the center of the crater where the first punch was thrown, only to be met by five more wolves. I don't have time for this shit. The Hulk picked up a tree, and launched it at the first wolf he saw, throwing the beast back to the unknown. The other four wolves formed a square around the Hulk, covering all sides, ensuring that he could not escape. They then charged at him from all sides. The Hulk punched the ground in front of him, sending two of the wolves launching in the air, while the other two latched their jaws on his shoulders. With their teeth firmly set in his now bleeding shoulder, the Hulk flexed his muscles, breaking the fangs of the two wolves. They fell on the ground, both of their mouths spewing out blood. He then jumped several hundred feet in the air and landed on their heads, both of his feet firmly placed where their skulls used to be. The other two wolves recovered from their short flight, and were now charging the Hulk from behind. He turned around, and hit one of the wolves in the in the ribs with his now healed shoulder, cracking them in the process. The other wolf tried the leaping tactic to pin him on the ground. The Hulk was too quick though; he grabbed the wolf midair by the neck and with little effort, snapped his neck. He tossed the other wolf on the ground and waited for the next attacker too- GRRRAAAAA!!!!!!!! The Hulk turned to his left when all of a sudden he was tackled and sent flying several hundred feet into rocks, trees, and other natural obstacles. He went skidding on the ground, his ribs hurt but were not broken...yet. He opened his eyes to see- DIE!!!!!!!!! Valdis punched the Hulk's skull with impressive force, enough to sound like a miniature sonic boom. His skull was bleeding, as blow per blow was laid upon the Hulk. A crater starting to form around his body as each punch seemed to be getting stronger and more powerful until- The Hulk grabbed Valdis right forearm and stopped the next attack from happening. He squeezed it with enough pressure to finally cause the bone to snap. Satisfied, he brought his leg back, and then forward, kicking him in the chest and sending Valdis flying through a nearby boulder several hundred feet away. The Hulk quickly got up, and leapt towards Valdis who was still recovering from the impact. HURRRRAAAAWWW!!!!!!! He readied his fist, and drove it into Valdis chest, causing multiple bones to snap and break. Valdis was flown from the boulder, blood steadily coming from his mouth. He slid on the ground with so much power rocks and trees were thrown out of the way as Valdis continued to slide. A big dust cloud was beginning to form as he was sliding several hundred feet away, and the fact it was still night time did not make it better for the Hulk's vision. When it cleared, he was hoping that Valdis was dead so he wouldn't have to- What the...Is that bastard standing up? And hes...laughing. Valdis was indeed beginning to stand up, a little clumsily I might add, but he was standing. He then did something Hulk did not expect, he was laughing. Ha...Haha...Hahaha!!!! Now I see why they died. You have some power monster. Your efforts are wasted though, the victor was already determined the moment you threw the first punch. Watch this. Valdis then walked over to a nearby tree, blood still coming out of his mouth slowly, and with his good arm, placed his hand on the tree. To his surprise, it began to wither and die, and Valdis was...glowing. You want to know why they call me Valdis the Destroyer Hulk? It's because everything I touch...DIES!!! The tree he touch was now devoid of any life it once previously had. The Hulk then noticed that he was not bleeding anymore, and that he was using both of his hands. Shit...did he just... I have a special ability Hulk. Everything and everyone is a source of energy for me to absorb. From the air we breath, to the ground we walk on, it all becomes nourishment for me. Ever punch you make to me I sap a little more of your strength bit by bit! You see, the longer this fight continues, the stronger I get. Everything I touch, every step I take, every breath I make!!! I GET STRONGER!!!!! Valdis lifted one foot into the air, and then brought it back down, causing the ground to shake and break beneath them. This was more then enough to distract the Hulk. He then jumped forward, claws fully extended, and slashed right across the Hulk's face, taking an eye with him. AARRHHHH- The Hulk was cut off as Valdis delivered an uppercut to the Hulk's rib cage, then a punch the the side of his face, causing blood to come out of his eyes, mouth, nose, and parts of his broken skull. It was a fact, Valdis was getting stronger the longer this fight continued. The Hulk on the other hand, was getting more pissed off by the second and was getting harder to control his rage. He took a step forward, closing the gap between them much to the surprise of Valdis. What he did next, would be even more shocking. The Hulk fully extended his arms to the right and left of his body, closed his hands into a fist, and then brought the together with violent force onto the Valdis skull. He created a sonic boom right in Valdis eardrums. GHAAA!!!!! Vadis backed away and cried in pain as his skull was partially broken and his eardrums completely shattered. Several other wolves joined to help his master, hoping to- Perfect haha Valdis grabbed one of the nearest wolves, and began to drain the life from him, he was healing himself at the expense of his pack mates life. Once the deed was done, Valdis casually tossed the lifeless body to the side and stared at the Hulk with incredible fury. The Hulk was fully healed form the whole ordeal, already charging at Valdis, hoping to not give him another chance to surprise him. Valdis began to sprint towards the Hulk, fist raised and ready to deliver the assault. The Hulk on the other hand, had something else in mind. Valdis threw the first punch while Hulk ducked and dodged its intended target. He threw his hand back, and launched it into Valdis chest, once again breaking several bones, but remarkably finding it much more tougher than before, but he wasn't done yet. The Hulk put his hand behind Valdis's head, and brought his knee upward, causing another shockwave to occur and the ground to crack beneath them. The Hulk then brought Valdis's head back up, and thew his other hand back, tensing the muscles in the other arm. Readying himself, the Hulk brought his fist into Valdis face, with so much force behind it that it literally shoved his muzzle back into his head slightly. Valdis was then hurled backward several miles, sending hundreds of trees to be flown out of his path. When the dust cloud cleared from the impact, he saw that at least 20 dead wolves were surrounding Valdis. He was fully healed as well and glowing even brighter. He must of absorbed all of the life out of them! Hulk was about to advance when all of a sudden a wolf came and bit the his lower leg. In response the Hulk tilted to the side, raised his fist, and brought it crashing down on the wolfs body. Unfortunately, it was a distraction that would cost the Hulk dearly. Valdis took the opportunity and jumped in the air, and landed on the Hulk, sending both of them sliding along the forest ground. Valdis would not give his opponent any mercy. He began to hack, slash, and pound the Hulk into the ground. NOW! *Punch* DO! *Punch* YOU! *Punch* SEE!!!! *Punch* I AM THE STRONGEST ONE THERE IS!!!!!!!!! The Hulk laid there, Vladis continue the onalsught onto his body. He was thinking about how to defeat this creature. If everything he touches gives him energy, then where is a place where he can't grab anything? Banner...I figured out a way to quickly end this. I am sorry, but for a split second, I am not going to hold back. Hulk wait, think about the collateral damage you could cause! We can't let you go World Breaker on us!!! Don't worry Banner...It will only be for a second. Valdis continued to lay down punch after punch, now covering both him and the Hulk in a pool of blood. Valdis stopped for a second, realizing that his opponent was just laying there, not moving at all. Had he kill him? No...he was, smiling. No. No...what? Your wrong...HULK IS THE STRONGEST ONE THERE IS!!!!! The Hulk then opened his eyes, glowing a bright green of pure gamma energy, and launched his fist into Valdis lower jaw. He flew straight upward into the air with incredible force and speed, flying miles and miles higher each second. The Hulk then readied his powerful leg muscles and jumped, quickly propelling himself into the air to catch up with Valdis. Once he caught up, he wrapped his arms around Valdis waist, and continue to fly higher, and higher, and higher. They flew up so high that they soon found themselves nearly within space itself. Can't absorb anything if you can't touch or breath. In the brief moment of weightlessness, the Hulk looked upon the planet he was standing on. Its continents were not like that of Earth, he was on another planet entirely he confirmed. That did not matter now though, they were beginning to fall back down into the atmosphere. Now the only thing on his mind, was the person in front of him that he would be smashing! Valdis was unconscious from the lack of oxygen, but the Hulk on the other hand, was extremely pissed off. Falling through the sky back to the planet, and being engulf by flames, the Hulk started to barrage his opponent with a series of deadly and powerful punches. They flew back down to the forest, Valdis being consumed by the flame and his body unable to withstand the impact of the Hulk's punches. The last thing that was heard before the impact was the sound of bones being broken and shattered as a certain beast uttered his infamous words- HULK SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Meeting With His Own DemiseWhat am I? This may be a simple question to most of you. You are Human. But me, I am something else. I tried to be a hero, I tried to save the lives of innocents. I tried to be anything but what people make me out to be; a monster. I used to be normal in the past. I was a scientist; striving to help humanity by unraveling the mysteries of the universe, primarily Gamma Radiation; known as one of the most violent and powerful source of energy to mankind. Ironically, that is what turned me into the creature that I am today. I am no longer normal; no longer accepted by the people I loved and cared for. They fear me, hate me, but most of all, they want me dead. They see me as nothing but a threat, a weapon that aims in all direction. After many years of being loathed, hurt, and hunted by everyone, I used to wish myself free from this curse, from the beast that dwells inside of me. Now, I realize the only thing I want is to be alone. My Name is Bruce Banner. I am not Human; I am The Incredible Hulk. I have grown used to loud noises. Explosions, Bullets, Screams of terror and fear; but I don't hear any of that now. Its moments like these that are rare in my life. Peace. Its quiet, save for the soothing sound of the wind blowing and the birds singing. “Wait, birds chirping,? Here in the Deser-” His voice suddenly failed him as he opened his eyes to find himself in a completely new location. There were trees as tall as buildings and full of life with rich green leaves and perfectly brown bark. Grass, so beautiful and pure it shimmered and sparkled in the sunny clear sky. Flowers of all colors and sizes were around him ranging from large purple ones with thorns that shined in the light, to small ones that were blue and glowing. “Where am I? This certainly isn't the Nevada Desert. Its so full of life and cool and a bit breezy and Oh My-” Banner looked down at himself to notice that his clothes were completely gone. He was in the nude. Even his infamous, stretching pants were gone. “My clothes are gone, but thats strange, I don't remember transforming into the Hulk. Well it does not matter now, doesn't look like this area is occupied by anyone that would notice. For the mean time I guess I will at least cover myself up with some leaves”. After looking around for some decently sized leaves, he expertly crafted them into a patch covering his privates and a good portion of his backside. “Well, I am not going to figure out how I got where here is, by just standing around. First thing first I need to find is some clothes, no way I can remain undetected by the military if I am dressed in nothing but a bunch of leaves.” Unknown to Bruce, the Military would be the least of his worries for now. Princess Celestia, the most powerful being known in Equestria, was currently doing one of the most challenging, and difficult task known to society. You think it would be raising the Sun. Nope, that is but a simple task for the God like Alicorn. She is a princess, and it is her role duty to watch and care for her subjects. While normally a Princess would act as more of a figure head rather then a government official; but unfortunately her influence among pony kind has practically made the entire society run both on her, and her sister Princess Luna’s, decisions. Its not that she didnt take her job seriously, she loved her subjects with every ounce of her being. Its just alot of pressure on two individuals, even if they are Goddesses, they are still stressed out with day to day Meetings, Councils, Courts, etc... Lucky for Princess Celestia, today has been an easy day for her so far. Only several hundred of her subjects have come to seeking her advice, help, wisdom, blessing, or anything in-between. Sitting atop her throne with two of the Royal Guards on each side, she was currently meeting with a Pony who had come all the way from Las Pegasus just to seek Princess Celestias Blessing. He was a scrawny little Earth Pony who goes by the name of Strong Leaf, with a dark brown coat and short, light green hair, and abnormally pink colored eyes, with a cutie mark of a Wooden Leaf. Princess Celestia even had to do a double take on the strange Earth Pony. Normally Earth Ponies were known for their natural Strength and physical abilities; but this one was smaller then the average Earth Pony and had such rare eyes, something she has not seen in hundreds of years. “Hello My Little Pony, and how may I help you today” Inquired Princess Celestia, forming a smile that she has practiced over the centuries of her rule. Its the same smile a loving mother would give to her children. As you can imagine, meeting with a God like figure in person can be pretty intimidating, but that smile always seems to calm down her subjects and make them feel more comfortable. “Umm hello your m-majesty. Uhh if you wouldn't mind me asking your royal highness if I could maybe ummm” “Wow” Celestia thought to herself, this pony is very shy and timid. Reminds her of another one of her subjects, a famous hero in fact. Celestia couldn't help but giggle a little in front of her subject. “Please Strong Leaf, no need to be so nervous around me, I don't bite and I certainly will do everything within my power to help you with your problems. Now tell me, how can I ease your worries” Strong leaf seemed to get less tense, then Celestia could see he was starting to form a huge red spot on his cheeks. He was blushing profusely. “Well you see Princess, I came before you today t-to, to ummm,” He closed his eyes and then in a loud voice that not even Celestia had expected “I WANT TO ASK THIS MARE I LOVE TO MARRY ME AND I WOULD LIKE YOUR BLESSING!!!!” Awww this is so adorable Celestia thought to herself. He traveled hundreds of miles, to ask for his rulers blessing for his marefriend. She got off of her throne, much to the Royal Guards surprised, and began making her way to see Strong Leaf. Strong leaf still had his eyes closed as he waited her judgement. He suddenly felt a soft and warm feeling on his forehead. He opened his eyes and was completely shocked. Princess Celestia, the most powerful being on the planet, personally made her way up to him, and began to nuzzle him on his forehead. His Blushing intensified to the point where his face was as red as a tomato. “My Little Pony, I can see you are going to be a wonderful Husband, and maybe even a father someday.” Again, she couldn't believe his face could get any redder, but it did. “You have my blessing Strong Leaf, I know you will grow around a loving family and a wife that stays true to you and you alone. Also, that blushing is adorable and you should do it more often around her.” Celestia said with a wink. Strong Leaf gave one quick bow while still maintaing a cherry red face, and then ungracefully left the court. Celestia made her way back up to her throne and levitated a piece of paper containing all of her schedule appointments. “Oh my, I dont think this has ever happened before” Celestia muttered to herself in complete amusement. She looked at the paper in front of her again; carefully observing ever little detail. Celestia let out a sigh of relief and jumped off of her chair, much to again, startle the guards stationed at their post. They never saw their princess act so informal. “I have no more meetings. No Courts, Councils, nothing!” Celestia trotted over to the nearest window and took a good look at the position of the sun in the sky. It looked like it was just a little past noon. She couldn't believe she finished all of her royal responsibilities so quickly, and leaving so much time to spare. “Maybe I will have some time to hang out with Woona, or maybe pay a visit to my faithful student Twilight Sparkle” Celestia thought to herself. “Today is going to be a wonderful day”. Unfortunately for Celestia, Fate has other plans for the Sun Goddess. For you see, today, was going to be the start of something big. Today was a day like no other. It was one of those special occasions where nature was in perfect equilibrium. The sun was high up in the sky, offering the perfect amount of warmth and light to those below. There was a pleasant breeze in the air that tickled your skin and brought out the most exuberant of emotions. The smell of flowers was prominent and strong in the beautiful fields of grass surrounding the citizens of the small local town known as Ponyville. It was really something special. Unfortunately, not everypony could enjoy the natural gift that was bestowed upon Equestria that day. On the outskirts of the EverFree forest was one Pony in particular who, for what it is worth, would sacrifice her own pleasures for the satisfaction of others. Instead of going out play with her dearly beloved friends, she spends this day residing in her cottage taking care of her animal friends. Her Name is Fluttershy, Hero to Equestria and holder of the Element of Kindness. She is what her name implies; very shy, timid, and kinda uncomfortable around ponies she hasn't met. Though this is also what makes her connect more with the animals surrounding her that she takes care of everyday. Many of the animals she looks after are very appreciated and praise her for the compassion she has showed them. All except one in particular; the most loyal but aggressive rabbit around the quiet pegasus. Angel Bunny was, by no means, a normal Rabbit. He was always there to comfort and cheer up Fluttershy whenever the situation demanded it. Granted, he can be rude and easily irritated, they both shared a very close bond to each other that would overcome even the greatest of obstacles. Angel Bunny also had one very special characteristic that none of the other animals shared; he was a very picky eater. "How about- EEP!, what about-AAH!, what do you think about thi-Ouch!!!" Fluttershy was currently being bombarded by various food items as she tired to appeal to the very annoyed and irritated Bunnys taste buds. This is been going on for nearly an hour and even the paitent and caring fluttershy can get at little tired of her companions actions. "Angel Bunny I really want you to be happy, I really do, I just don't know what you want. Please eat something Angel". Fluttershy offered a very sincere smile as she carefully approched the Bunny with a carrot salad. Angel Bunny looked at the salad and began to show a sign of interest. He walked toward the salad and began to inspect every inch of it, most to Fluttershys delight. She closed her eyes as she siliently gave herself a pat of the back when all of a sudden she felt something abruptly hit her face. While the salad did not meet the bunnys picky appetite, it made for an excellent projectile to the unsuspecting pegasus. She wiped her face off from what remained of the salad and turned to see Angels Bunnys arms crossed over his chest with the same, irritated expression he has been having throughout this whole ordeal. "Angel Bunny please...I ju-" Fluttershy was cut off short as Angel Bunny angrly trotted over to a bookshelf. Interested at the rabbits strange behavior, Fluttershy trots over to her little companion to see what he is trying to do. She finds him on the floor, flipping frantically through the pages of what looks like a fairly new and fancy book. She instantly recognizes that book as- "Oh thats the book I borrowed from Twilight a few days ago, *Exquisit et les aliments de fantaisie*. But that book has very complicated and rare dishes in it, why would you wa-" Fluttershy could not finish her sentence as the book Angel Bunny was skimming though was now directly in front of her face. On the page was possibly the most complex and difficult dish she had ever seen. "Oh....My.... Angel Bunny is...is this what you want. I don't even know if I have enough ingredients to make this." Fluttershy lowered the book from her face to meet Angel Bunny; but instead of seeing an irritated rabbit, she was met with possibly the most adorable and cute eyes she has ever seen. She could not believe it; it was his variation of 'The Stare' with the difference being it was not used for intimidation, but rather it was used to intensify the natural cutness of the Bunny. She rarely saw him use it; he must really want to try this dish out. *sigh* "Ok Angel you win, I will have to make a trip to the market to get all of the ingredients. While I am gone I expect you to.... Wait..." Fluttershy looked at the page again, inspecting the long list of ingredients needed to make this complex dish. She then noticed a critical error. "Angel Bunny there is a problem with this recipe. It requires a very rare and unique ingredient. The Topaz Mushroom. I dont even know where-" Angel Bunny put his paw up to Fluttershys mouth to stop her from worrying about the last ignredient. He then began to make alot of strange, funny, and serious gestures with his hands in an attempt to tell Fluttershy- "You mean to tell me that you know where you can get the Mushroom Angel. Well that is wonderful! I am so happy you are willing to help me out with this dish, thank you Angel Bunny. Umm......if you dont mind me asking, where is it?" Angel Bunny quickly made his way towards the window where he stuck his paw out to the location. Fluttershy looked at Angels arm, lined it up in her sight and found out its in the- "EVERFREE FOREST! Angel Bunny I am sorry but I dont want you to go out there just for a Mushroom.. There are alot of scary creatures that live their and its not safe to go. I really want to see you happy Angel Bunny and I know this dish means alot to you, but I cant let you risk your safety over it. Please try and understand." Angel Bunny Stood there, he wasn't mad or throwing a tempertantrum. No, he was looking at Fluttershy with eyes that were filled with determination, confidence, and most of all, love. He really liked Fluttershy, he trusted her with his life. Now, he was asking the same for Fluttershy, and she knew it too. As they both stood their, staring into each other, and getting an understanding of their emotions, Fluttershy realized something. "Alright Angel Bunny.....I trust you. I just care about you so much. If you got hurt or injured I just...jus-" Fluttershy couldn't finish her thoughts as Angel Bunny embraced her in a heartfelt hug. It was at that moment that Fluttershy realized Angel Bunny, was going to be just fine. "Thanks Angel; I guess I needed that. Just promise me you will stay safe and not go too deep into the forest. I....I love you Angel Bunny, don't you forget that." With one final nuzzle on the forehead, Angel Bunny with a blushing face, bounced towards the edge of the EverFree Forest to begin his journey. Meanwhile, deep within the EverFree Forest, a troubled soul wanders and navigates through the colorful and bizarre new land. "This is so strange" Banner thought to himself. It has been nearly an hour and nothing came to try and attack, hurt, or kill him. In fact, it seems apparent that the longer he continues his trek through the woods, the more peaceful it becomes. For the first time in his long and painful life, Banner felt something he hasn't felt in a long time. He didn't know if it was caused by the welcoming rays of the sun, or the peace and serenity that the forest seemed to be emitting. What he felt was Happiness. It won't last. Banner stopped all movement at once. The last thing he wanted to hear was his voice. A voice from a being who is consumed by rage, sadness, and most of all, loneliness. "You don't know that Hulk. Look at this place, its beautiful. Everything I have seen so far here while walking is in absolute...harmony with the world. I don't know where we are, but from what I can tell we are safe, and away from any danger." Stupid Banner.Just because this place appeals to your weak and pathetic eyes, you let your guard down. We are never safe, you should understand that by now. "Hulk, I know you can feel it too. We share the same mind and body. This place is....... different. It offers a sense of comfort. I feel as though we can can be safe here. We don't have to always be on the run Hulk. Not here. I feel, different. At peace for once. We dont have to always be afriad." SHUT UP! This place is no different than from anywhere else we have been. Arizona, Georgia, New York, Mexico, Brazil, Canada, It doesn't matter. WE WILL ALWAYS BE HUNTED, FEARED, AND ALONE. WE WILL NEVER HAVE PEACE BANNER!!!! NEVER!!!!........not here............. not anywhere. Banner was shocked to find the tone of the Hulk's last words to be not of anger, but of sadness. He understood every word he said. He didn't want to believe it, but he was right. Dammit. He was right. They would always be considered nothing more than a monster. "I wish It was different Hulk. I.....really do." With that he hung his head low and continue this walk towards the unknown. Suddenly the once beautiful and brightforest around them seemed....darker. It lost all the appeal it had minutes ago. The trees were just what they appeared to be. Trees. Nothing more and nothing less. The grass no longer had that elegant glow to them, it was just grass. The forest didn't seem so inviting now. It just made them feel more isolated and alone. Unknown to Banner, he was not alone. He was far from it. The EverFree forest is full of terrifying and powerful creatures; Manticores, Hydras, Timber Wolves, Trolls, Dragons, and even the infamous Ursa Major. It was only a matter of time before Banner would meet one of these fearsome predators. *Snapp* Unfortuniately for Banner, that time might be now. He stopped walking immediately as he heard the sound of snapping wood. Millions of thoughts raced through his mind. Was someone following him? Was it a wild animal? Was it Hostile? Could it be the Military? But one thought that raced through his mind he knew with absolute certianty was that the Hulk was right. He would never be alone; never be completely safe. Banner began to scan his surrounds for any weapon, or environmental cover he could use to aid him against whatever was coming up to him. *Crack* The sounds were getting louder. That meant that whatever was coming, was getting closer. What was once a leisurely stroll though the bright woods turned into a full on sprint for his life. He needed to either fight or hide. He favored the latter of the two decisions. He could swear that the faster he ran, whatever chased him actually got closer. Suddenly it was starting to get brighter. "Oh Crap, I am about to run out of forest area. Whatever is chasing me, it can see me plain as day once I get to the clearing" Bruce thought to himself. The closer he got to the clearing, the more he would hear this strange and steady sound. The soil below him was starting to get more loose and a bit more moist. Hope was returning to Bruce as he put the dots together. He realized that it was not just any plain clearing, but it was actually- "A water current. Of course! There must be some sort of river or other water source up ahead. I have to get there before whatever is chasing me, beats me to it." He was close, 100 yards away. He was starting to get tired. "Can't give up, I will not get captured again!" His speed increased to its max. Blood Pumping and full of adrenaline, Banner gives it all his little body is capable of. 50 yards away. *RAAAAAAAWWAR!!!!* The roar of the angry beast behind him made Banner come to a startling realization. That whatever was chasing him was not only going to catch up, but was not alone. The creatures that chased him were not only fast, but they were big. Banner was starting to feel the very earth shake from the beast heavy footsteps. Suddenly his chances of escaping seemed to get lower with each passing second. 25 Yards away. Banner was at his limit. He was so close to freedom. Suddenly, it seems like they were so close that he could feel the breathing of the hungry predators that chased him. Curiosity overtook him for a second as he wanted to grasp how close he was to escaping, or to meeting his doom. As he turned his head around he was completely terrified. He was met with over a dozen of the most massive, angry, and savage wolves he has ever seen. They were somewhere between 8-12 feet tall, easily rivaling the size of the Hulk. He was quiet shocked when he noticed another prominent physical feature that each of the colossal beast shared; they were made out of what looked like wood. He did not have enough time to truley marvel at their unique and frightening bodies, he didn't have time to think at all. All he needed to focus on was running and making to the river. 5 yards away. Banner makes his way to the clearing only to be met with a frightening suprise. There was no river. What Banner heard was indeed water. A Water Fall. Banner, through the heat of the moment, could not process the information his eyes were recieving fast enough until it was too late. He ran past the trees to the clearing, and straight off the edge of the forest decending to the water abyss below. AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! The very last thing Banner was able to hear was another voice. A voice he and he alone recognized immediately. Puny Banner
Painful TruthPain. It is always the first thing that Banner feels when the transformation happens. His skin rips apart from the pressure his body is exerting to grow. His bones break as they rebuild themselves to be even stronger. His organs increase in size and his muscles tear apart as they prepare for the beast arrival. His veins burst as they too succumb to the transformation, his gamma irradiated blood cells grow several times their original size. It always hurt so much for Banner to transform, its one of the reasons he hates the Hulk. It is a feeling similar to that of dying, but instead of actually giving in to the pain, he gives in to an even greater emotion. Rage. He must have fallen several hundred feet. It didn't matter. The Hulk was in control now and as far as I know, Nothing can kill him. I still feel what he feels so, sees what he sees, hears what he hears. We share the same Body and Mind. I share his pain, his rage, his sadness. He is a misunderstood creature, he does not fight because he wants to. He fights because he has to. I feel the earth shake as the Hulk finally plants his feet into solid ground as we reach the bottom of the falls. He creates a small crater where he lands; debris of of rock and soil are flown about at his landing. Serveral other craters are formed due to the giant wolves. Some of them have pursued him even after the fall, though not all of them. I was indeed shocked at how their bodies were able to survive the impact, they were clearly stronger and more durable than we thought, but they were smaller in numbers now. What seemed like over a dozen of the gargantuan beast, there were now only about six of them in total. They were determined, hungry, but most of all, mad. GRAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!! The Hulk roared in pure rage at the group of timber wolves that surrounded him. They were nearly his size and rivaling the display of fury that he was showing. I could feel him, the Hulk for all of his power and rage, was thinking about how to kill the massive beasts, waiting to see who made the first move. It wasn't the Hulk. The first of the wolves charged and leapt at the Hulk from the front, not only were the creatures big but they were faster than given credit for. Teeth flaring and rage visible in his eyes, the beast made the move with the intent to kill on the first strike. The wolf had no idea how wrong it was. The Hulk quickly dodged by stepping to his side, just in time to watch the beast fly past his face. It came so close the Hulk could smell the flesh stained breath of the wolf, but he wasn't finished there. Just before the wolf completely passed the Hulk, as soon as his tail was pass his face, the Hulk reached behind him and grabbed it in midair. Using the momentum the beast created from the jump, the Hulk pulled the beast forward and slammed it back onto the ground in front of him. The sound of bones snapping and organs bursting was prevalent in the once quiet woods. The first of the attacking wolves was dead, a small, bloody crater was around the broken remains timber wolf. The second wolf saw the opportunity the first one presented. Taking advantage of the current distraction, and fueled by the rage needed to avenge his lost companion, this one charged the Hulk from the side. While this one was not as big as the first attacker, which was probably the eldest, it made up its lack of strength in speed. This one was able to get within feet of the Hulk before- HA!!! It wasn't fast enough. The Hulk, with one hand still on the shattered remains of the first wolf, brought up his other fist to meet the second wolves lower jaw. The result was an upper cut that instantly made the beast skull shatter and his brain eject. The impact was so powerful it resulted in a miniature shock wave which shook the trees and cracked the ground beneath them. The second wolves body was ejected out of the area from the result of the punch. GRAAAAHHHHH!!!! WHO'S NEXT!!!!!!! The fourth and fifth wolf learned from their dead brothers mistakes. They did not attack individually, this time, they would make it a team effort. They both positioned themselves at opposite sides of the Hulk. The Hulk's grip tightened around the tail of the dead wolf in front of him. He was expecting this, he has fought wolves before, never this big and strong, but he's fought them before. He knew how this fight was going to end. Tch...... Well.....I dont have all day. BRING IT!!!!!! The two beast, brimming with rage and hatred towards their enemy, charged the Hulk. Each one of them with their mind set on one thing, and one thing only; To Kill. The Hulk picked up the dead wolf by his tail, and swung it to the right, hitting the fourth wolf and sending both of the bodies crahsing into the trees by him.The fifth wolf on the other hand was able to get on the Hulks back and bring his massive fangs onto the Hulk's neck. Unfortunately for the beast, his teeth were no where near strong enough to pierce the Hulk's nearly unbreakable skin. You want to know how it feels to have a 2,000 pound, radioactive, pissed off man to come crashing down on you. It is deadly. The Hulk quickly, while the fifth Wolf was still on his back trying desperately to bite down, flopped down on his back. The wolf was instanly crushed under the massive weight from the Hulk's body. The fourth wolf soon burst out of the trees, apparently only stunned by the collosion of the other wolf. The Hulk while still on his back merely grinned in pleasure for what he was about to do. The wolf sprinted towards the Hulk and then jumped into the air, hoping to pin the Hulk down while he was still on his back. Stupid Wolf The wolf was only a couple of feet away from the Hulk when all of a sudden- Silence. The Hulk drove his foot into the monsters chest with incredible force. It did not even make a sound. It was so fast with so much strength behind it that the wolf had no time to register what happened. It was dead. The Hulk got up on his feet, leaving the fourth and fifth wolf to rot behind him. He turned around to find the sixth wolf and kill it. What he was facing completely suprised even the Hulk. Staring straight at the Hulk was indeed the final wolf, but there was something wrong. Instead of Hatred and Anger it should have displayed in front of the Hulk, it was showing a different emotion, something a predator should never show its prey. It was afraid. Upon further looking at it, Hulk realized that this wolf was really small compared to the rest. The ones Hulk killed were around his size, but this one was no taller than a humans waist. It was small almost- Its a young pup. Hulk never harmed a child before, reguardless of its race, species, or affilation to good or evil. The longer the Hulk stared into the eyes of the young wolf the more he began to see it. His eyes were filled with nothing but fear and despair. Its legs were shaking and it looked as if it was going to cry at any second. Hulk knew it didn't want to fight. It just wanted to live. Oh Luna~ Where are you my little sister~ Princess Celestia teased while playing one of her favorite games; Hide and Seek. She was more than grateful for the day off. She could not remember the last time she had spent some quality time with her younger sister. Sure it was several hours before her sister would normally be up, but she didn't mind spending a few hours with her sister when the opportunity was there. It seems like the majority of her life now was spent writing, reading, or attending to the needs of her loyal subjects. She never really had some time to herself, to just have some fun. Sometimes, she wishes she could just take a break once in a while. But never the less, she did not care about that now. All that concerned her was where her adorable, and ninja of a sister was hiding. "You can't hide forever Luna~ I'll find you sooner or later" She knew it could not be that hard. Could it? They both agreed that they would not use their magic or wings to aid them in their game. She then began to navigate through the halls in the beautiful and stunning interior of the Castle. It was a work of art really. Halls where the floors glimmered and shinned in the light of the sun, filled with columns that displayed intricate and complex artwork that has been so painstakingly carved into them. Such a sight would of made the Greek Ponies of the old time marvel at the work of art. The Castle windows only amplified the beauty of the hallways; sunlight shining through mixed with the various colors that each of the window art displayed. Below them were hundreds of paintings with a different story on each one. She looked at them while passing by; each of them telling the tales of the long forgotten. Celestia and Luna though, remembered each and every single event that was depicted on the paintings. It told stories of adventures from the time Celestia and Luna first found the Elements of Harmony, to the journey they made as fillies to the depths of Tartarus. Celestia never realized it but in these halls, their entire life was in the form of paintings. Well most of it, some stuff remained a secret that only the Alicorn Sisters would know. The paintings even depicted some of the sisters greatest triumphs, but also their greatest downfalls. She took a moment to pause and glance up at the first picture of one of their greatest foes, Discord. Never have they ever seeing a creature with such raw power; able to tap into the primal energy of the universe itself and bend reality at will with his thoughts alone. She remembered when he descended on their planet, a cruel and wicked grin on his face. With the snap of his figure he caused volcanoes to erupt, made it rain fire, created tsunamis, and shook the very planet to its core. He even, for his own amusement, literally turned off the sun with a lamp switch. If there was one thing more terrifying then his power or his childish attitude, it was the one statement he made to the sisters in their first fight. A distant memory resurfaced itself in Celestia's head. She remembered the three of them, her sister and discord, interlocked in a battle to determine the fate of their planet. She remembered seeing her sister, bloodied and battered, her wings bent in unnatural ways, face scarred and gash marks in her torso. Her hind leg was twisted and bone shattered. With cursed chains enchanted with the ability to dampen magic, she couldn't even heal herself, let alone move a single inch; even her horn was chipped and charred. Her sister wasn't in any better condition. Having struggling to keep up with the laughing maniac, she suffered internal bleeding and a few broken bones in ribs. She fired another blast of primal magic from her horn at the monster, only to have him effortlessly smack it away with nothing more then his serpent like tongue. The blast flew away, into the distance, ending in a bright flash and half a mountain missing. Her magic, for all its godly might, even with the ability to tap into the very stars themselves, was failing her. This was a losing fight, it was only a matter of time. DISCORD! WHY! WHY DO YOU DO THIS? WHY HAVE YOU COME AND CAUSE MY SUBJECTS PAIN AND SUFFERING! WHY IS EVERYTHING A BUCKING JOKE TO YOU! YOU FORCE MY LITTLE PONIES TO ABANDON THEIR HOMES, LIVE IN CAVES, TO STARVE AND WATCH THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS DIE! YOU HAVE SUBJECTED THEM TO TERROR AND FEAR! WHY CANT YOU JUST LEAVE US ALONE AND LET US LIVE. IN. PEACE!!!! Ever since the fight started, hes been doing nothing but cracking jokes and toying with them. He could of killed them in the first minute, ending all their efforts without so much as a forethought. No, instead this fight has dragged out to nearly an hour, with him flicking away and mocking every attack the Alicorn sisters threw at him. Something change though, his smirk disappeared, his grin sunk to a scowl, and his childish demeanor changed to that of a ancient and wise deity. It was a look that Celestia saw once, and would never forget. That's not how the universe works. I came to this planet not because I wanted to, but because I needed too. Everything you know, this entire universe, works on a system of checks and balances. I am here to instill anarchy and chaos because this place lacks it. There is no such thing as a utopia young Godling. Remember this and remember it well. Too much of something will always create the opposite. Even if I do one day disappear, others will take my place. Whether they be agents of destruction or acolytes of hope, there will always be a balancing factor. That's the way the universe works.
The Price Of Mercy Leave. Hulk continued to look into the eyes of the young wolf pup, eyes that showed nothing but terror and hopelessness. It couldn't even move, it was too afraid too. After seeing four of his elders easily killed by the green monster in front of him, he was too scared to do much of anything. The young wolf never wanted to attack the creature, it was merely following the orders of the older wolves. The two beast stood there, one full of fear, the other full of sadness. Hulk hated those eyes. He has seen them so many times in the past, and they always came back to haunt him. Those eyes of fear made him into what everyone else portrays him as, a Monster. You are too young to die. Go back to where you came from. Hulk began to turn around and walk away, he couldn't stand to see those painful eyes any longer. It filled him with nothing but despair. The turned his head around the get one good look at the young and afraid pup before leaving the area. I'm.....Sorry..... The Hulk then bent down and jumped off into the distance, leaving the small timber wolf alone and still very terrified, surrounded by the bodies of his comrades; but actually it wasn't really alone. Out of the shadows came the third timber wolf. Hiding and viewing the entire scene. The wolf was smart, it realized that this creature was on a differently level of power and would eventually beat their hunting group. The elder timber wolf knew that pursuing it would be a futile effort and would only result in their death. No, he needed to see the leader of their pack and inform him about this new and dangerous creature, but first it needed to take care of one small problem. The third wolf was angry at the pup, it was disgusted by its show of weakness. Being afraid of your prey was not tolerated by the wolf pack, and the punishment was sever. The elder wolf walked over to the cowering mass in front of it, curled up into a ball to avoid the onslaught that was in front of him. The elder wolf bent down and picked up the young pup in his mouth. He then with swung his head back, and then forward, throwing the young pup into a nearby tree with so much force the young wolf smashed right through and out the other side. The young pup was on the ground, crying and bleeding. The impact almost broke some of his bones. The elder wolf did not care. It came forward to the young pup and put one of his paws on the pups neck, choking the poor creature. "Next time you show any sign of weakness, I will not hesitate to kill you. You are pathetic; lucky our master did not see this display of cowardice. Now come on, we have to tell him of this new...........creature." The elder wolf released the young pup from the bottom of his paw. Gasping for air as the life was nearly taken away by the older wolf, the young pup struggled to get back up, sliping slightly from the now injured legs. KRWAAAARRR!!!!! The elder wolf let out a massive roar, its purpose was to get the attention of the other hunting parties. It was only used for absolute emergencies. This, was definitely worthy of the call. Other howls of the timber wolves echoed across the Everfree forest, relaying the message to the thousand that were currently hunting. The forest was the wolves territory, and this new creature threatened their home and hunting grounds. I will see you at our meeting grounds. And rememeber young one, show any more signs of fear, and I will end you. The elder wolf then began his journey back to his leader, the little one on the other hand had a another idea entirely. It was curious about the Green Beast. It wanted to know more about it. It's origin, name, was it good or evil. All of those questions came second to the most important question, if it could help him. The young pup went over to the spot where the Hulk was standing and began to sniff the area, hoping it could get its sent. It needed to find it, at all cost. It was scared no doubt, but this creature, even though it killed about 4 of his "comrades" it was still friendlier then the wolves leader. After picking up the smell of the beast, the wolf set off into the distance, hoping to find the green powerhouse known as the Hulk. Everyone knows the story of the Turtle and the Rabbit. The race they had is infamous and is known by pretty much everyone. One thing all rabbits are known for is being fast and agile. This was definitely true in Angel Bunnies case. The white rabbit was unfortunately having a horrible, horrible day. What used to be just a simple scavenger hunt for a mushroom, turned to be a situation where his life was on the line. Its not completely Angel's fault, he did not know he would have to go so deep into the forest to find this infamous ingredient for the dish he wanted. He was able to find the mushroom he was looking for, but what the rabbit did not know was that it was being followed. You see, the pure white rabbit was an incredibly rare species of rabbits. There meat was considered a delicacy by the wolves. Angel Bunny was currently hopping, dodging, and weaving in and out through the roots of trees and other natural obstacles that were in his path. He was in the sprint of his life. Behind him were about four of the massive muscular timber wolves who were, instead of being as flexible and agile as the rabbit, were smashing and ramming through the obstacles in its path. Angel Bunny knew something was wrong. No matter how many times he has gone into the forest, he knew that there should not have been so many wolves out. And not so close to the edge of the forest either. He had only gone in several miles, yet there were dozens of them. Angle Bunny thought he could avoid them, but unfortunately some of them caught on to his sneaky attempts. Now, the only thing on his mind was to run, and run faster. They were getting closer. He knew he could not out maneuver them. They were stronger, faster, bigger, and overall more powerful then the tiny rabbit. Eventually they would catch up and reach the bunny. It was only a matter of time, and everyone knows what happens when a predator catches up to its prey. Angel bunny tilted his head a little to the side, trying to get a view of how far away he was from the wolves. *Slash* Angel Bunny narrowly avoided a fatal attack, a very small portion of the wolves claw hit the backside of the little rabbit, a bloody gash across his back. Angel Bunny fell and tumbled on the ground, rolling until he hit the base of a small tree. The pain was immeasurable. It might of damaged his spine as well because the bunny could not even move its legs. The wolves, snickering as they approach the injured rabbit, their prey as good as dead. The biggest one of the group walked forward, fangs ready to deliver the final blow to the neck. All seemed lost for the poor bunny until- KRRAAAWWWRR!!! Nearly inches away from its prey the wolf stopped what it was doing immediately. Instead of easily killing the injured rabbit, it looked up in the air with a bit of confusion. Flopping its ears back and forth, it acted as if it was trying to comprehend the sound it just heard. After several other roars similar to the first he heard, it realized something. It just heard the most important howl the wolves knew. The wolf looked at his comrades, each one showing a sign of understanding and concern. The leader then looked at the sky and let out a roar similar to the one they just heard. Each of the wolves relayed the message to all of the other hunting groups in the area, to stop what you are doing immediately and get back to their home. The wolves, satisfied with their message being heard, began to leave the area, now sprinting off into the distance, leaving the rabbit against the tree. Bleeding, tired, and weak, Angel was on the verge of passing out but saw everything; he never knew the wolves could be so coordinated and tactical. Why did they leave me here? They could of easily killed me, what are they doing? Thought the small and now helpless rabbit. I have to get back to Flutttershy, the forest is not what it used to be, something big is happening, and I have to get her to a safe place. I...I can't move my legs, and I lost feeling in most of my body. I have to do something, even If I have to crawl all the way back to her, I have to save her. Angel Bunny, even though he is body is nearly broken, put his pain aside for the safety of his dear friend, Fluttershy. He thought about all of the acts of kindness that the shy pegasus showed him. From the time she found him on the edge of the forest injured and starving, to giving him a home and a place to sleep. She fed him everyday and did not treat her like just an animal, but as a friend. Summoning all of the strength he had left, Angel Bunny got down on his chest, and began to crawl towards the edge of the forest. He was still pretty far away from it, about two miles give or take. He continued from what seemed like hours, it was starting to get dark and Angel, even though he cared deeply about her friend, could not continue on the amount of energy he had left. He was low on blood and has not eaten or drank any water all day. At this rate, he would die. Angel Bunny then caught the sennt of what appeared to be water. The air around him was moist. There was water around, something the dehydrated bunny desperately needed. He began to crawl forward, just a little more it thought. If he could just get some water, it could give him some more energy. He made his way to the clearing, his vision was becoming blurry and disoriented. He knew he was going to pass out anytime soon. He was so close to the pool of water in front of him. Dammit...I cant die, not here, not now! His thoughts were cut off short as he heard the sound of crashing trees around him. It did not matter to him anyway, he knew he could not make it back all the way to Fluttershys, he tired but he was simply too weak and tired. Figures...they came back to finish the job, I did leave a trail of blood. I'm so sorry...Fluttershy. The last thing the rabbit saw before he blacked out was a giant, green figure. Then darkness surrounded him. Thousands upon thousands of timber wolves gathered inside of the cave by the mountain side. Each and everyone of them heard the call and was eagerly awaiting for there master to come. They formed a circle around the original wolf that first signaled the call. It was the one that would give the report to there powerful and merciless master. Then they saw it, a dark figure coming out the shadows. It was massive, about 15 feet tall, standing on two massive muscular legs supported by a tank like upper body. His claws were so sharp, they looked as if they could cut steel like it was paper. Its eyes glowed with a certian hatred towards all things. It was their lord and master, God of the Timber wolves, Valdis The Destroyer. YOUNG WOLF! How dare you use the our sacred call to summon me, and no less on the day before our great plan to attack Pony Kind. Valdis was not happy, not at all. Master we have a problem. A monster of size as great as yours has killed several of our brothers. We fear he could stop your glorious plan from becoming a reality. It attacked us with the ferocity of a demon, the strength of a hundred dragons, and with the speed of the wind. It is a giant green monster that showed no fear even in overwhelming numbers. I worry that this creature might prevent us from achieving your goal master. Now it was Valdis turn to look suprised. He did not anticipate this. He has been alive for almost a thousand years and never has he heard of such a monster. Then the wolf noticed something different on his master, he wasn't angry, he was happy. He beagn to make a sadistic grin and laugh. Ha....Haha....Hahahahah!!!! This is interesting. Alright Hunter, I will ease your worries. ATTENTION MY FELLOW TIMBER WOLVES! There has been a change in plans. Instead of tomorrow on the morrow, I shall personally seek and kill this creature which strikes fear into the eyes of my Warriors. I shall mount its head above my throne, and we shall attack Ponyville TONIGHT!!!! The wolves began to howl and cheer at their masters proclamation. All but one wolf who had a worried look on his face. not to doubt you, my lord but, this creature, its strong. I think even you will have trouble dealing with it. Valdis grin disappeared instantly. He looked at the lone wolf who questioned his power. Valdis walked over to the wolf and gave him a puzzled look. The warrior wolf was completely afraid for what his master might do for his sudden outburst. He bent down to stare the wolf eye to eye, it then raised one of it's muscluar arms and placed his hand on top of his head, patting it gently. The wolf closed his eyes as he was being comforted by his God. You are weak. The wolf then opened his eyes in shock before- *CRACK* Valdis then applied monsterous force onto the wolfs head, shoving it into the ground and in the process crushing all the life it previous had seconds ago. DOES ANYONE ELSE DOUBT YOUR GOD'S POWER! All of the wolves had their heads down, not daring to make any eye contact or noise, not daring to question Valdis power. Pleased that none of them would dare speak- Now...WE KILL THE GREEN BEAST AND ATTACK PONYVILLE TONIGHT!!!! WE SHALL FEAST ON ALL WHO OPPOSE US! I, VALIDIS THE DESTROYER SHALL KILL ALL WHO STAND IN MY WAY!
A Beacon of Hope The Hulk, after the confrontation with the wolves, continued to leap and jump for several miles. He noticed the landscape was entirely different than anything they have seen on Earth. Strange unique mountain ranges in the far west, a farm and a small town to the east, and what he could of sworn was a city hanging on the edge of a mountian. Banner, through the eyes of the Hulk, was taking in the information from the new surroundings, while growing more worried by the sound of what sounded like thousands of wolves howling. The Hulk on the other hand, he did not care. There was only one thing on his mind right now, the young pup. You should of probability killed him Hulk. Leaving that young wolf alive will cause nothing but trouble for us I already caused enough damage Banner. Besides, I don't hurt anyone who doesn't want to fight. You said it yourself Hulk. We will always be fighting and alone. That young wolf is probability going to get the rest of his pack and hunt us down, all because you could not kill a pup. The Hulk landed in a small clearing, contemplating what Banner has just told him. He was disgusted by his harsh words. He knew that logically, what he said was right, but morally- Sometimes Banner...I wonder who the real monster is. The Hulk started walking, pushing trees out of his way as he continued his trek through the unknown. While scanning his surroundings for any signs of danger, the Hulk spotted some of the weirdest and strangest looking trees he has ever seen. The fruit on these trees glowed with multicolored dots casting a subtle light on the shadowed forest floor. Despite the strangeness of the fruit, his hunger took priority. It did not matter what he ate, as long as he could eat something. From the nearest tree, he picked a round purple object the size of a bowling ball. It looked edible enough, though taste was a luxury to the green goliath. He stomach was built to convert anything he ate to pure, raw energy. Though it would be nice once in a while to get something tasty for a change. He took a bite of the abnormal fruit and- It is one of the worst tasting foods he has ever eaten, but he tolerates it for the sole reason that he just needs something on his stomach. Thinking back, he could not remember the last time they had eaten something. Stranger still, he did not remember anything that happened before waking up in this strange place. How did he and Banner get here in the first place, where ever 'here' is? The Hulk continued to eat the fruit, feeling strangely rejuvenated, almost like this fruit has some sort of healing properties to it. He continued to push down trees until he came upon another clearing. This time he could see he was not on the verge of falling several hundred feet again. What he saw in front of him was just a small pond of water that sparkled invitingly and offered a sense of tranquility. The Hulk calmly made his way to the edge of the pond, and began to drink some of its refreshing liquid. It would be getting dark soon; with food nearby and this pond available to him, it seemed like a good place to sleep and relax. Then a dark and depressing scent caught his attention. The smell of- Blood. The Hulk turned his attention to the source of the smell and began to walk around to find the source. After walking around the pool of water for a short time, he found it. The Hulk stopped looking at the small creature at his feet. It was one of the most stunning creatures the Hulk has ever seen. It was a rabbit whose fur was as white and pure as new fallen snow. The Hulk always liked the color white. It represented innocence and purity, things no one saw in the Hulk, nor ever would. The Hulk bent down to look at the creature, noticing that it had a huge slash mark on its back, where the smell of blood was prominent. Maybe he should of killed that tiny wolf, Hulk thought about for a second. He then lifted the small creature in both of its massive hands. Looking down on it, the Hulk wondered if this was a sign, a foreshadowing of his sad life. Such a pure and innocent creature, dying alone and in complete isolation to the world. It was still breathing, but very lightly now. It was going to die soon, and there was nothing he could do to prevent it. Then something strange caught his eyes, he could of sworn that he saw something sparkling in the sky as the Moon started to rise. He could not describe what it was, it had wings that stretched across the sky and were so black they absorbed the light. It seemed like the wings were engulfing the entire planet in black shroud. Stars started to appear in the darkness, one after the other, each one of them sparkling with life. It was a stunning sight. Such a shame that it would be on this very night, that the pure, white rabbit would die. "I see you are a fan of the night, green warrior." Hulk was so entranced by the spectacle above him, he failed to notice the wolf pup who was a couple of feet away from him. Did more of the wolves come back to hunt him like Banner said. He hated when he was right. Hulk did not want to fight, all it wanted was to be left alone on this peaceful night. Hulk tightened his muscles and narrowed his eyes towards the timber wolf. "I thought I told you to leave." Then the Hulk noticed that the wolf was limping, and had some dried blood on him. Hulk did not attack him, but something else did. It was hurt, but why? The wolf continued to look at the Hulk, with a completely different set of eyes. Fear and sadness had turned to resolve and hope. The Hulk set the rabbit down next to a tree and began to slowly advance on the wolf. "Why did you come here? What do you want from me young pup?" Hulk said with venom in his words, obviously starting to get very mad. The young wolf began to back away, obviously nervous and still afraid of the towering beast in front of it. The wolf then came to the sudden realization that this might not have been the brightest of ideas. EEP! The young pup tripped and fell over the root of a tree. The Hulk stopped advancing, and began to snicker at the young pup. "Ha...You are no threat, just stupid. Leave before I change my mind young one." Hulk then turned around and began to walk back towards the pond when all of a sudden- "Wait! Please I did not come here to be told to leave! I...I need your help. Please, I think you are the only one who I can trust." Hulk, stopping in place was confused. I just killed four of your pack, and now you are looking for my help? Are you crazy? Also, why should I trust you. You are the one who attacked me in the first place!" The young wolf pondered the situation carefully, realizing that he was right. The creature in front of him had no reason to trust him. Then he realized that he had a sort of connection to the rabbit before, but it was going to die...Unless- "What If I told you how you can save that bunny? Would you trust me then?" The Hulk thought about the pup's words. Was he speaking the truth, he has been betrayed before, and it has cost him dearly. He looked down at the dying rabbit, a mixture of sadness and regret starting to fill his eyes. Though maybe this place was different, I mean talking wolves. The Hulk has seen strange things but never talking wolves. "Be quick with your words. I swear if you double cross me I will kill you." The wolf slowly, but with renewed vigor in his eyes, began to come closer to the pool of water. He noticed the purple fruit sitting on the side. He motioned the Hulk to come over and take one of the fruit. "My elders showed me that this particular fruit has amazing healing abilities. Its juices seals wounds and speed up the bodies natural healing. Just squeeze the fruit above the rabbit's injury and it should keep him alive longer for the time being." The Hulk, took the fruit and began to walk towards the white bunny. Putting very little effort into it, the Hulk squeezed out every ounce of juice the fruit had to offer on the injured rabbit. To the Hulks surprise, the wound began to glow and then close up. The rabbit was still unconscious, but it would live now. He had never seen a fruit with this type of ability before, it was almost as if the fruit itself was...magical. He took a seat by the pond- "What is your name?" "Huh..oh umm yes my name. Ummm its Vekk." "Thank you...Vekk." He then turned around and looked down at the wolf, who in turned looked at the Hulk with a sincere smile on his face. "So ummm...do you think you can trust me now? I promise you I am not like the other wolves. I ummm...dont like violence." "I can tell, and yes, for the time being I trust you. My other promise still stands though, betray me and I will kill you." The wolf took a seat down next to the pond and took a small sip of water, just something to help refresh him. "You are powerful. That much was clear earlier today. What I am about to ask you green warrior is very important. Something bad is about to happen soon. Hundreds of innocent are going to be slaughtered if you don't do something. You see that the timber wolves are the dominate species of these forest, but our leader wants to expand his territory. There is a small town not to far away from here, which he plans to attack. If our master does decide to attack that town, a major war will start and thousands of lives will suffer for the actions that will happen tonight, Unless you can stop him." "Why should I trust a traitor to his own species?" "Because! He is evil! We timber wolves never harm the innocent, not when we can help it. We never hunt outside of the forest. Besides...this new leader of ours is ruthless. He killed our previous master, Lord Nul, and took over his position of power. We have no idea where this new creature came from. Some of our elders say he came from the very pits of hell to the land of the living to cause nothing but chaos and destruction. We tried to rebel against him, knowing that his leadership was not what the pack wanted. That only resulted in the death of our loved ones...including my father and mother. Now, all of the wolves are too afraid to oppose him. He is too strong and powerful for us wolves to handle, but you on the other hand. I believe you can stop him and save all of those innocent lives. Please I am begging you!" The Hulk began to ponder what the wolf just said. Should he really get involved in this fight. A few hours ago those same wolves were trying to kill him. Now, one of them needed his help. And what makes you think I am not evil as well? I did kill some of your pack earlier. Because...You were kind enough to spare me. I saw it in your eyes, you didn't want to fight, we forced you too and I am sorry for that. The Hulk was shocked, he did not expect the wolf to offer an apology. He thought the young pup would come seeking revenge yet he was just here pleading for help. It's not our fight Hulk. Besides, it would just draw more attention to us, attention we do not need. If what the wolf said was true Banner, then thousands of lives are at stake here. I can't let those people die. Hulk even if you do help, they will still think of us as just a monster. And If I don't help them, I will appear of more of a monster to myself. The Hulk took one last, long look into the wolfs eyes. *Sigh* fine... I will help you. Now where is this leader of yours Vekk? If you follow me green warrior I ca- Dont call me that. My name is Hulk.
The Strongest One There Is Ponyville. A small, quiet little town filled with hundreds of the most friendliest and unique ponies you will ever meet. It wasn't the most advance place to live, technology wise, in comparison to Las Pegasus or Manehattan; but it made up for it in the relationship that the towns folk shared with each other. Here in Ponyville, everypony knows who you are. Its one of those pony friendly towns where you can truly rely on your neighbors to assist you with any problem. What really made this town special though is the fact that it is the home of the Legendary Heroes of Equestria, the bearers of the Elements of Harmony. Living inside of a colossal tree, known as the Town's Library, was in fact one of the Heroes of Equestria, Twilight Sparkle. She represents the Element of Magic, and is an extremely powerful unicorn. She even saved the town in a couple of instances by herself like defeating an Ursa Minor, fixing a broken damn, and even helping the winter wrap up team meet their quota for the year. She was perhaps the most powerful non Alicorn pony on the planet, but she did have one critical weakness; her curiosity. Twilight Sparkle was a complete book nerd. She was Princess Celestia's personal student, which I guess would entitle her to have an interest in studies and the universe. Though occasionally, or to be more accurate, very frequently, would become completely obsessed in her studies. She would even go to extreme cases where she would dive into books for hours on end, completely ignoring basic needs like food, water, and even her 'personal business', only stopping when she would eventually pass out from mental exhaustion. Tonight, was one of those nights. She was currently currently reading one a book one of her friends actually recommended to her. She thought of the request strange but she said, "You are going to need to know this soon Twilight! My Pinkie Pie Sense is going off the charts!" Isolated in her thoughts and studies, Twilight Sparkle flipped through the last page of the book she was currently reading. After several minutes of reading the last page of the incredible complex but interesting book, she levitated her quill and scribbled down a few more notes onto her scroll. "Finally! All done. Pinkie Pie was sure right when she told me to try reading "Magic And It's Reaction To Radiation" would be an interesting read. I don't know how it will really benefit me for future purposes, but I could never pass up a good book." With that she levitated the rolled up scroll into the nearby bookcase, in alphabetical order to Twilight's delight. She looked at the clock and- "Oh My! I spent the entire day reading that one book!...Well I did think it was interesting, but *Yawn* I better go to bed now, I'm pretty sure I have a huge list of things I need to do tomorrow." Twilight started advancing towards her staircase when she heard a faint sound coming from behind her. She turned around to notice that her quill and ink had fallen and spilled all over her floor. "Shoot! Now I have to clean it up. Wait a minute what the-" Twilight was cut off as she saw several of her books fall from their respective places and hit the floor with a resounding thud. Her entire house started to shake. "What the hay is going on!" Twilight said, while nearly tripping trying to advance towards to door. Her horn glowed as her magically opened the door to realize its not just her house, its all of Ponyville that is being shaken up. Was it those cows stampeding again from the AppleFarm? "TWILIGHT!!!!" Twilight turned her head around to see her number one assistant, Spike, run and unfortunately tumble down the stair way. Spike rubbed his head from the impact and looked at Twilight with a mixture of fear and confusion. "Twilight what is going on! Why is everything shaking!" Twilight looked at the town before her, ponies running around in panic, mothers and fathers making sure there young ones were safe, and oddly enough one of them was carrying a lot of muffins to what looked like a safety shelter. She then turned her head around to Spike- "I think this is an earthquake Spike" Twilight said dumbfounded and very nervous about what this could mean for Ponyvilles citizens. As Twilight looked back out of her door again, she noticed a certain pink pony skipping and completely oblivious of the situation that was currently presenting itself. She bounced right up to Twilight with one of the most widest smiles she has ever seen. "Sup Twilight! Isn't this awesome!!! I thought I was the only one who was bouncing but now everypony is as well!!! Oh by the way, I hope you finished that book, because we are going to need that brain of yours soon! :D 5 Minutes ago in the EverFree Forest My name is Hulk. So...Take me to where- So Hulk is your name creature. The Hulk stopped all movement at once. Looking directly up, he noticed a strange bipedal beast standing on top of a boulder. He was huge, perhaps even bigger then the Hulk, with huge arms, massive legs, and claws that looked so sharp, it reminded him of a certain X-Men member that he hated. He looked powerful, he couldn't doubt that. Drawing his attention away from the creature, the Hulk noticed that there were multiple growling noises coming everywhere. The wolves surrounded them, they were trapped. Vekk...Grab the rabbit and run far away from here. Don't worry, I will clear a path for you. I take it this is the thing I need to kill. Valdis jumped down from the rock he was standing on, making the ground crack beneath him as he landed. He paused in his movement and looked at the young wolf pup. His eyes glowed an even darker shade of red as anger started to consume Valdis. So you are the one who killed four of my hunters. You insulted our honor and now you insult me by turning one of my own against us! I will rip out your heart and eat it in front of your dying eyes. Valdis began to advance slowly towards the Hulk, anger seething through his very being. Claws fully extended, their purpose was to cut the Hulk into pieces. Let the child go, we will kill him later. For now...I want the green one dead. The Hulk tightened his muscles, curled his mighty hands into a fist, and stared straight into the eyes of Valdis, every fiber of his being was filled with rage and hatred. You talk too much. With that the two beast charged each other, gaining a massive amount of speed mixed with power. RAAAWAAAARRR!!!!!!!! They both raised their fist into the air, and proceeded to hit each other with as much strength as possible. Their punch met the others, the force was so powerful it shook the ground beneath them, scattered trees and wolves around them and blew them back, and even made a crater beneath them where their feet used to be. It was so powerful it created a miniature earthquake. Both of the combatants were flown back from the result of the impact. The Hulk, only stopping when he met the resistance of the mountain side. His eyes were closed, a natural reaction for bracing one self from an imminent collision. His arm was shaking slightly, almost numb from meeting a force nearly equal to or more powerful then his own. His eyes flew open, anger starting to take over. He saw three wolves sprinting towards him while he was still lodged in the wall of rock. He quickly freed himself, and began to advance on the three wolves. Two of them split off from left to right, and jumped at him, trying to immobilize the use of his arms. They failed as the Hulk's quickly grabbed each of the wolves head in his hand and shoved their bodies into the ground. He could feel their bodies crumble and shatter upon the massive force the Hulk was now producing. It was similar to a person crumbling up a paper ball in his hands. The result produced a sickening blood splattering sound. The third wolf took the opportunity of his two fallen comrades and jumped straight forward to the Hulk. His hands, still in the ground after killing the other two, was unable to block the third attacker. The wolf opened his mighty jaws and sunk his teeth into the Hulk's neck, causing blood to trickle out of the open wound. GAAAHH!!! The Hulk cried out in momentary pain as somehow the wolf was able to pierce his skin. He released the other two dead wolves in the ground and grabbed the third attackers tail. With incredible brute strength, the Hulk ripped the tail out of the third wolf, causing it to yelp in pain. In the split second that caused the wolf to release his hold on the Hulk, he grabbed the wolf by both of his upper legs, and head butt the creature with so much power, that the third wolfs skull broke upon meeting its force and hurled him back through a nearby tree. The Hulk's wound quickly healed in a matter of seconds, but he was still wondering how the wolves got so much more powerful. It didn't matter, if they could still bleed, they could die. He then jumped into the air, hoping to get a better grasp on the situation and land in the spot where he and Valdis first met. What he saw before he landed was thousands of the massive wolves, all blood thirsty and driven by rage. The Hulk landed in the center of the crater where the first punch was thrown, only to be met by five more wolves. I don't have time for this shit. The Hulk picked up a tree, and launched it at the first wolf he saw, throwing the beast back to the unknown. The other four wolves formed a square around the Hulk, covering all sides, ensuring that he could not escape. They then charged at him from all sides. The Hulk punched the ground in front of him, sending two of the wolves launching in the air, while the other two latched their jaws on his shoulders. With their teeth firmly set in his now bleeding shoulder, the Hulk flexed his muscles, breaking the fangs of the two wolves. They fell on the ground, both of their mouths spewing out blood. He then jumped several hundred feet in the air and landed on their heads, both of his feet firmly placed where their skulls used to be. The other two wolves recovered from their short flight, and were now charging the Hulk from behind. He turned around, and hit one of the wolves in the in the ribs with his now healed shoulder, cracking them in the process. The other wolf tried the leaping tactic to pin him on the ground. The Hulk was too quick though; he grabbed the wolf midair by the neck and with little effort, snapped his neck. He tossed the other wolf on the ground and waited for the next attacker too- GRRRAAAAA!!!!!!!! The Hulk turned to his left when all of a sudden he was tackled and sent flying several hundred feet into rocks, trees, and other natural obstacles. He went skidding on the ground, his ribs hurt but were not broken...yet. He opened his eyes to see- DIE!!!!!!!!! Valdis punched the Hulk's skull with impressive force, enough to sound like a miniature sonic boom. His skull was bleeding, as blow per blow was laid upon the Hulk. A crater starting to form around his body as each punch seemed to be getting stronger and more powerful until- The Hulk grabbed Valdis right forearm and stopped the next attack from happening. He squeezed it with enough pressure to finally cause the bone to snap. Satisfied, he brought his leg back, and then forward, kicking him in the chest and sending Valdis flying through a nearby boulder several hundred feet away. The Hulk quickly got up, and leapt towards Valdis who was still recovering from the impact. HURRRRAAAAWWW!!!!!!! He readied his fist, and drove it into Valdis chest, causing multiple bones to snap and break. Valdis was flown from the boulder, blood steadily coming from his mouth. He slid on the ground with so much power rocks and trees were thrown out of the way as Valdis continued to slide. A big dust cloud was beginning to form as he was sliding several hundred feet away, and the fact it was still night time did not make it better for the Hulk's vision. When it cleared, he was hoping that Valdis was dead so he wouldn't have to- What the...Is that bastard standing up? And hes...laughing. Valdis was indeed beginning to stand up, a little clumsily I might add, but he was standing. He then did something Hulk did not expect, he was laughing. Ha...Haha...Hahaha!!!! Now I see why they died. You have some power monster. Your efforts are wasted though, the victor was already determined the moment you threw the first punch. Watch this. Valdis then walked over to a nearby tree, blood still coming out of his mouth slowly, and with his good arm, placed his hand on the tree. To his surprise, it began to wither and die, and Valdis was...glowing. You want to know why they call me Valdis the Destroyer Hulk? It's because everything I touch...DIES!!! The tree he touch was now devoid of any life it once previously had. The Hulk then noticed that he was not bleeding anymore, and that he was using both of his hands. Shit...did he just... I have a special ability Hulk. Everything and everyone is a source of energy for me to absorb. From the air we breath, to the ground we walk on, it all becomes nourishment for me. Ever punch you make to me I sap a little more of your strength bit by bit! You see, the longer this fight continues, the stronger I get. Everything I touch, every step I take, every breath I make!!! I GET STRONGER!!!!! Valdis lifted one foot into the air, and then brought it back down, causing the ground to shake and break beneath them. This was more then enough to distract the Hulk. He then jumped forward, claws fully extended, and slashed right across the Hulk's face, taking an eye with him. AARRHHHH- The Hulk was cut off as Valdis delivered an uppercut to the Hulk's rib cage, then a punch the the side of his face, causing blood to come out of his eyes, mouth, nose, and parts of his broken skull. It was a fact, Valdis was getting stronger the longer this fight continued. The Hulk on the other hand, was getting more pissed off by the second and was getting harder to control his rage. He took a step forward, closing the gap between them much to the surprise of Valdis. What he did next, would be even more shocking. The Hulk fully extended his arms to the right and left of his body, closed his hands into a fist, and then brought the together with violent force onto the Valdis skull. He created a sonic boom right in Valdis eardrums. GHAAA!!!!! Vadis backed away and cried in pain as his skull was partially broken and his eardrums completely shattered. Several other wolves joined to help his master, hoping to- Perfect haha Valdis grabbed one of the nearest wolves, and began to drain the life from him, he was healing himself at the expense of his pack mates life. Once the deed was done, Valdis casually tossed the lifeless body to the side and stared at the Hulk with incredible fury. The Hulk was fully healed form the whole ordeal, already charging at Valdis, hoping to not give him another chance to surprise him. Valdis began to sprint towards the Hulk, fist raised and ready to deliver the assault. The Hulk on the other hand, had something else in mind. Valdis threw the first punch while Hulk ducked and dodged its intended target. He threw his hand back, and launched it into Valdis chest, once again breaking several bones, but remarkably finding it much more tougher than before, but he wasn't done yet. The Hulk put his hand behind Valdis's head, and brought his knee upward, causing another shockwave to occur and the ground to crack beneath them. The Hulk then brought Valdis's head back up, and thew his other hand back, tensing the muscles in the other arm. Readying himself, the Hulk brought his fist into Valdis face, with so much force behind it that it literally shoved his muzzle back into his head slightly. Valdis was then hurled backward several miles, sending hundreds of trees to be flown out of his path. When the dust cloud cleared from the impact, he saw that at least 20 dead wolves were surrounding Valdis. He was fully healed as well and glowing even brighter. He must of absorbed all of the life out of them! Hulk was about to advance when all of a sudden a wolf came and bit the his lower leg. In response the Hulk tilted to the side, raised his fist, and brought it crashing down on the wolfs body. Unfortunately, it was a distraction that would cost the Hulk dearly. Valdis took the opportunity and jumped in the air, and landed on the Hulk, sending both of them sliding along the forest ground. Valdis would not give his opponent any mercy. He began to hack, slash, and pound the Hulk into the ground. NOW! *Punch* DO! *Punch* YOU! *Punch* SEE!!!! *Punch* I AM THE STRONGEST ONE THERE IS!!!!!!!!! The Hulk laid there, Vladis continue the onalsught onto his body. He was thinking about how to defeat this creature. If everything he touches gives him energy, then where is a place where he can't grab anything? Banner...I figured out a way to quickly end this. I am sorry, but for a split second, I am not going to hold back. Hulk wait, think about the collateral damage you could cause! We can't let you go World Breaker on us!!! Don't worry Banner...It will only be for a second. Valdis continued to lay down punch after punch, now covering both him and the Hulk in a pool of blood. Valdis stopped for a second, realizing that his opponent was just laying there, not moving at all. Had he kill him? No...he was, smiling. No. No...what? Your wrong...HULK IS THE STRONGEST ONE THERE IS!!!!! The Hulk then opened his eyes, glowing a bright green of pure gamma energy, and launched his fist into Valdis lower jaw. He flew straight upward into the air with incredible force and speed, flying miles and miles higher each second. The Hulk then readied his powerful leg muscles and jumped, quickly propelling himself into the air to catch up with Valdis. Once he caught up, he wrapped his arms around Valdis waist, and continue to fly higher, and higher, and higher. They flew up so high that they soon found themselves nearly within space itself. Can't absorb anything if you can't touch or breath. In the brief moment of weightlessness, the Hulk looked upon the planet he was standing on. Its continents were not like that of Earth, he was on another planet entirely he confirmed. That did not matter now though, they were beginning to fall back down into the atmosphere. Now the only thing on his mind, was the person in front of him that he would be smashing! Valdis was unconscious from the lack of oxygen, but the Hulk on the other hand, was extremely pissed off. Falling through the sky back to the planet, and being engulf by flames, the Hulk started to barrage his opponent with a series of deadly and powerful punches. They flew back down to the forest, Valdis being consumed by the flame and his body unable to withstand the impact of the Hulk's punches. The last thing that was heard before the impact was the sound of bones being broken and shattered as a certain beast uttered his infamous words- HULK SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
