I don't own the Incredible Hulk, this is a fan fiction only.
After a horrible accident exposed Bruce Banner to what should have been lethal dose of gamma radiation. He began to change drastically and the constant name calling and insults began to make him angrier and angrier. The dangerous thing about his anger was the more angry he got the stronger he got as well.
He was once of the members of the so called Avengers and having fought alongside so respected bunch of heroes you would think his life would be better. In a just and fair world it would be true. The thing is Earth was never just or fair to the one that ended up calling himself the Hulk.
Doctor Bruce Banners transformation from the large green man to a normal size human became rare, and indeed it seemed that one day he would stop changing between the two forms all together. Funny thing was that the supposed two personalities were beginning to merge and after so much struggle his mind became clear once again.
His body became permanently the one when he was the Hulk, but he had the instincts of the Hulk and the mind, intelligence and patience of Bruce Banner. You would think this would make people less scared of him or even be sociable with him. The governments of the world feared that the Hulk as they still called him could one day become the dominant species on the planet.
Much to the opposition of the other Heroes that had become such good friends with their large green friend. The government decided to launch him into space aboard a simple rocket ship, an old fashioned space shuttle. They had sedated him and Tony Stark had done the necessary upgrades to ensure that he would find a life sustaining world so that his friend could at long last find peace.
The travel through space was not as safe as most would think and so the space shuttle had many collisions with meteorite along the way, causing the trajectory of the ship to change in such a way that he was sent into a strange portal like nebula. The damage of the ship was so severe that the shuttle computer had no alternative but to drop him in an escape pod as the shuttle burned into nothing as it entered the atmosphere.
As the pod landed Bruce found himself on the surface of the planet. For one he was angry that the people of his world had been so ungrateful to him after all his heroic deeds, on the other he found himself in a rather desolate planet which meant he could explore it some what. It would be a good adventure or a retirement depending how things turned out.
Fate had other plans for him as several red skinned men in full armor and carrying weapons approach him. He tried to talk to them only to have a weird disk shot at his chest. The next thing he felt was an immense headache, almost as if something was invading his mind.
"All objects and creatures exiting the great portal are to be imperial property. You are now a slave and are commanded to follow our instructions or suffer the consequences. " Bruce must have hit his head because somehow he understood that quite well. He looked down at the red skinned man.
" Sorry to disappoint you, but I am slave to no one. If you think I will let someone enslave me without me defending myself think again. I will smash all those that dare try make a slave out of me. " The few red men did not like the sound of it because they started to try to beat him into submission.
This of course was a mistake, he was angry before and with no way to release it he was still angry when they showed up, and now with them telling him he was now property and a slave. He was now even more mad, and then to top it off they tried to beat him into submission like he was just a disobedient pet. Now he was raging mad and finally had an output to his anger. The foolish red skinned men would suffer his wrath or so he believed.
He did manage to disarm several of them and beat them quite severely, but the leader used the staff he was holding and shot a beam of what looked liked electricity at the disk on his chest. The shock was so painful and sever that made him lose consciousness. "He will make a great gladiator for the Red King. I can already tell I should bet on him from the moment he steps into the arena."
As he woke up he found himself chained to a wall. A little insect looking man was walking around asking for help. "Miek is not a fighter, he is a hidder. There is a big mistake please someone help Miek escape. You rock man help break free. You green man break free and bust us out."
There was a red man looking at him with a clear look of disapproval. " It is no use Miek, we are all figthers today, I see you are finally awake what shall we call you." Bruce looked at the man and knew he had the same red skin as those that had captured him. "You may call me Hulk. Where am I?"
The red man introduced himself as Laveen and he sat down to look at Bruce directly to his face. "You are aboard the slave transport taking us to the arena where we are supposed to die for the entertainment of the crowds. Eleora is an imperial like myself and Miek and those are theres we call natives. The silent man is Hiroshim and he used to be a priest of some renowned. "
The rock man spoke next, " I am Korkus and I too was captured when I crash landed on this desolate world, I imagine you too crashed on his world as well. " Bruce looked at them and then at Laveen." I don't know about you, but I don't plan to die for the entertainment of anyone."
Laveen laughed and pat him in the shoulder. "That's the spirit. If we work together then we don't have to die at all. Teamwork will get us threw the three fights we must win to win our freedom. I know Miek would sooner run and hide, and the natives don't usually care about anything other than their hive. "
Bruce looked at Miek and smiled almost trying to make him relax." So that leaves the fight to the four of us them. Who is the android over there? Do you have any combat protocols? " The android found it strange that someone that looked like a brute knew of basic programing." I have complete combat protocols from close to long range combat. You may call me Citron. "
Bruce looked at Laveen." What we need is to work together and watch out for each other. We need to focus and keep each other safe. If we can watch out for each other we will all make it out of this alive. " Laveen found the little speech Bruce made almost inspirational.
" Well said Hulk. We need to watch out for each other and if we survive this we will become warbound. We will share our origins and become as close as brothers. " Bruce knew better than to focus on anything other than the fight that was waiting for them.
As the transport arrived they found that they were indeed called gladiators, it was almost funny that Bruce found himself in an outer space equivalent to the Roman arena. He picked up a pair of shields and watched as the others picked their swords. "It seems our gladiators are in the mood for a fight. So why don't we make sure not to disappoint them. We give you the Kornan warriors."
Korkus could not believe his eyes, they were his brothers and it looked like they were in perfect health. "Margus, it is I your brother Korkus. Come brothers help us escape this insane arena." Korkus might have expected them to run towards him and offer their aid instead they tried to kill him.
"Margus wake up, it's me. Please Margus I can't kill my own brothers. " Bruce saw the vacant look in their eyes and new they had been brainwashed beyond help. Laveen figured the same thing and told him thus. Bruce on the other hand jumped up and slammed his right shield into the first enemy they found.
" Hulk, please stop these are my brothers. Don't make me fight you to defend them. " Hulk slapped him across the face and screamed at him" WAKE UP YOU FOOL, THEY HAVE NOTHING LEFT OF THEIR MINDS IF WE DON'T DEFEAT THEM YOU WILL NEVER LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE THE ONES THAT DID THIS PAY. "
Bruce took the position forward and began to beat the enemy almost entirely on his own. It seems that he was angry and that was helping him fight against all three of them.
The Red King found this very amusing, almost enough for him to clap his hands and laugh as he heard the greatest joke ever. Right next to him was a grey skinned woman in armor and she did not look at all impressed by the fighting.
"So the green monster defeated all the initial opponents, it seems we really have disappointed him with such unworthy opponents. But I know what we can do to make it up to him. From the depths of the molten sea I give you The devouring devil. "
The arena was shocked to see the world's most dangerous creature. One of the guards looked at his friend." Bet you wish you hadn't bet on the green monster. You just lost a month's salary. " the guard looked at his friend and told him that they would see.
In a brief adrenaline filled decision, he let his anger lose all at once and for a brief second he was back the way he was when he first became the way he was." HULK SMASH! " was heard across the entire arena as he jumped up into the air and slammed his first on the head of the massive monster cracking his massive skull and clearly killing it in one attack.
" You were saying about me making a poor bet? I think I just finished paying for my house and then some. " The guard told his friend who could hardly believe his friend's luck. " this is an absolute victory for our gladiators. It is a first in the history of this arena. Only the natives died because they broke formation. I guess having an ex imperial officer was too much help for them after all."
Laveen looked at Bruce and smiled, "Thanks for saving us Hulk. I owe you one and I always pays my debts." Bruce looked at him and told him not to worry. He would have a chance of saving him later. As Bruce walked towards the others people began throwing knives at him in clear anger of losing their bets.
The knives cut him all over and from the cuts green blood oozed out and fell unto the ground. Hiroshim could not believe what he was seeing and neither did the Red King. From each place his blood dropped a small plant or grass was growing. "and with his blood he will breath life back to Sakaar."
The Red King was now furious at seeing the green monster that called himself Hulk do something he never could and he was supposed to be the fabled savior of the planet. He had to put this slave in his place and humiliate him to save face and to keep control of the people.
"I don't think that was punishment enough for making so many people lose all their bets. I think I need to teach this monster some manners. " The Red King boarded a golden colored battle mech of some kind and was planning to use the large vehicle to torment Bruce. This was a big mistake by him.
As he tried to cut him with his sword Bruce took the sword from the mech and broke it in two. He then was getting ready to punch a whole through him. He would have succeeded had it not been for the armored woman jumping down and blocking his punch and sending him against a wall as he roundhouse kicked him.
The people saw the strength of the one called Hulk and they began to boo the Red King for trying to kill the day's champion. The Red King decided to put his hands up in the air to calm the crowds. When they were calm he launched several razor bladed projectiles at him causing Bruce to fall on his knees.
"There is how you should greet your King. I see that you finally learned your lesson. You are not such a stupid brute are you? " the crowd began to laugh as the Red King said that." You don't need to worry your King is merciful and will let the champion of the day live so he can fight tomorrow for your entertainment. "
