*TB and KKD both burst through the wall*

TB/KKD: OH YEEEAAAHHH!

KKD: Here we are with the next epic tale for our series of Marvel stories.

TB: If I can borrow from my WWE folder here. *looks through said folder before pulling out an envelope and opening it, which began to shout (somehow) in a comic book style fashion "YES! YES! YES!"* Yeah, there we go.

KKD: That was weird.

TB: We've seen weirder in this studio. Anyway, care to tell our readers what this one features?

KKD: Basically, we're focusing on a character whose concept I've been working on for a long time.

TB: And while sharing similarities to another Marvel hero who will appear in this story, he's entirely original, right?

KKD: Pretty much. No saying who that hero is, but you'll see for yourselves.

TB: With that out of the way, set up the Disclaimers!

DISCLAIMERS: No one from Team Toku Riders owns anything in this fanfiction except for the original concepts within. The rest are owned by Marvel Comics, Disney, Marvel Studios, Stan Lee, and their respective owners.


The scene begins with a view of Japan from the air, soon focusing on Mt. Fuji, the sheer splendor and size of it towering above its landscape. Then, we focus on a cave in the mountainside, inside which we see it was dark, but the only light seen inside were two yellow circles and a strange growling could be heard before it began running towards the cave entrance, revealing a black dragon with rather demonic-looking scales as they were spiked, had demonic-looking horns, had a massive body, and had four legs along with its wings (like a European dragon), four horns on each side of his head, a claw at the end of each wing, and claws and teeth as sharp as swords and spears. Once it breached the cave, it roared loudly as it took off into the air, going past clouds before it disappeared.

We soon turn to Philadelphia, finding a young man wearing a long black trench coat over a red shirt, blue jeans and black boots with a backpack hanging off his shoulders. He also has green eyes and was wearing a fedora hat over his white hair, and was clearly trying to avoid eye contact with anyone. He was walking throughout the city, trying to find a place to stay, looking at hotels to see there wasn't anyone else there. He eventually found one that had a clear vacancy, and walked in before ringing the bell, getting the attention of the bellhop.

"Can I help you sir?" the man asked.

"Yeah, I'd like a room that's nice and empty. The quieter the better," he answered as the bellhop looked through his drawer and gave him a key.

"Room 3E, it's just on the third floor upstairs. Have a nice stay," he bid, the man taking his key and walking up the stairs and finding the room in question.

"Here we go," the man said to himself as he unlocked the door and entered the small room that had cream yellow-white wallpaper, dark carpeted floors, two regular sized beds, and a bathroom right near the entrance, "It'll do for now."

He then walked in, sitting on the bed and taking his coat off and breathing calmly to try and relax. He put his backpack down as well before taking his hat off, revealing he had three black protrusions on each side of his head, before hanging it on a hanging pole. He sighed a bit as he looked at himself in the bathroom mirror, staring at the black protrusions before he took his shirt off, revealing his slim but muscular figure, along with black tribal tattoos all over his body, with claws on his arms, "spikes" and "scales" on his back, more scale tattoos on his chest, and also on his back were wing tattoos. He then sighed before he turned the water on in the bathtub and switched the setting to shower.

"Man… glad there were no incidents today," the man muttered to himself, feeling relieved as he took his clothes off and stepped in the shower.


Afterwards, he stepped out of the bathroom with some blue shorts, cleaning his hair with a white towel before finding a man with brown curly hair, a broad chin, brown eyes, and wearing a navy blue shirt, brown pants, and black shoes on a laptop, working on something.

"Um, excuse me… what are you doing here?" the white haired young man asked the man in question, getting him to look up and notice him.

"Oh, pardon me. I came in here because I wanted a quiet room. I, uh, figured no one else was here, but I heard the water running. I, uh, thought you wouldn't mind if we shared the room," the man answered before he got up with his laptop in hand, "But if you don't, that's perfectly alright. I'll ask for another room."

"No wait up, ...I… well, perhaps… *sighs* it's fine. You can stay," the young man replied, feeling a bit reluctant, but also a little guilty.

"I'm glad we could work this out," the man replied before shaking his hand, "My name is Dr. Bruce Banner, what's yours?"

"Taiki Jackson… but you can call me Tai."

"It's, uh, very nice to meet you, Tai. It's unexpected, but I do find it a pleasure."

"The feeling could be shared, but I was hoping to be alone for the night, to be honest," Tai admitted.

"Believe me… the feeling's mutual," Bruce responded before putting his laptop down and continued working on something before he noticed Tai's tattoos and the protrusions on his head, "If you, uh, don't mind me asking… can you tell me what's up with all the ink and… uh, horns?"

"It's… it's a long story," Tai answered, not really wanting to talk about it.

"I got time."

"...Okay then…" Tai sighed as Bruce put his laptop to the side for a moment before Tai sat down on his bed, "It all started when I was a kid. I was at my school, I didn't have a care. Then, all of a sudden, these other kids… these bullies… well… they ticked me off the wrong way. That triggered a spark in the fuse where I… I changed into something… horrible." As he said that, he was holding back any tears, brushing his hand past his horns, "I… I don't even know how or why, but… one moment I got mad, the next I see a playground damaged and those bullies were hospitalized, because of me. I was left alone by everyone, my school… even my family. So I was forced to become a nomad, hiding in plain sight from the people. Just hoping… praying, that one day, I could be able to find a way to control this, this… monster within me."

"I see… you're not alone in that regard, Tai," Bruce sighed, "Well, I think it's only fair if I tell you my story, too."

"Yeah, right. I don't think you know anything about my degree of having a monster within me, just waiting for that moment for me to snap."

"Oh it's true, kid. All too true… you see... a while back, I was researcher in radiation technology and science. I believed in everyone tapping into their inner strengths to become physically stronger. However, one time when I worked at a power plant to make sure everything would go smoothly… something… happened. I was blasted with gamma radiation after trying to save someone who was trapped in the eventual blast radius. So much of that stuff went inside of my body and my blood that it would've killed me. But instead… it awoke this… other guy inside me… and since then, the moment I get angry, or my heart rate increases from adrenaline… he comes out. I'm sure you've seen this… Hulk in the news, right?"

"Wait up, Hulk?" Tai responded, a bit surprised, "As in… that big green brute who trashes everything in site and fights the military on a daily basis?"

"The same." Bruce confirmed, "I've basically been on the run since then."

"...Wow… I… I'm sorry about all that."

"Same for you, Tai. I'll tell you one thing, loneliness can have a very bad effect on a man. I should know… I've been alone when hiding, but I also received help from the only people that I can call my friends."

"Have you tried to find a cure for this… I mean, there's gotta be some sort of cure, like… um… it could work on me as well," Tai replied.

"I gave up searching for a cure. I've tried so many different methods, but none of them worked, there was always an error or something missing. But that didn't stop me, because I figured if I can't cure it, I may as well find a way to control it and use it… to help those in need," Bruce informed Tai, "That method is always a hit and miss for me every time."

"I don't know if I would be able to control this… this… thing inside me. It just seems too uncontrollable for me," Tai sighed before he decided to lay down in his bed, "But if you got any ideas, tell me about them tomorrow. I'm gonna turn in for the night. Night, Bruce."

"Night, Tai."

With that, Tai nodded off to sleep while Bruce went back on his laptop, keeping in contact with someone.


The next thing Tai knew, he was in an open field, walking through it to find scorched ground, fire around him, and he looked horrified by what happened. He soon saw people materialize around him, all of them backing up in fear or crying over the loss of a loved one, leaving Tai to contemplate something.

"Did… did I do this?" he gawked, feeling horrified by the sight of all this before he heard a loud roar and turned to see the shadow of a large dragon, "This… this can't be…"

Tai just stood frozen in fear before the large dragon that was flying before him, and it breathed a HUGE wave of fire at him, Tai beginning to panic as he began to hyperventilate and his body contorted while it looked like wings were sprouting from his back.


Tai just shot up awake, almost screaming as he panted. He started touching his body, making sure that nothing was wrong before he sighed in relief. He walked into the bathroom to splash water onto his face, calming down before he heard Bruce running into the room.

"Tai! I went downstairs to eat breakfast, and then…" Bruce started, sounding shocked about something before he turned the TV on to show a city in India completely destroyed, "...you have to see this."

"Not too long ago, a city in India was apparently attacked by what locals claim to be a giant flying reptile, some even claiming it to be a dragon," the anchorman reported, Tai gasping in response, "This destruction has left 200 people killed, and injured another 5,000. Reports continue to come in involving the casualties, killed by what can only be reported as large waves of fire and injured by any debris from the buildings around them, like collateral damage. If this is a dragon, as people have reported, where will it strike next? More confirmation on that later."

"I… I can't believe this…" Tai said, completely in disbelief over the news report.

"That wasn't you, was it?" Bruce asked.

"No, it wasn't! I was here the whole time, sleeping no less and definitely not out there," Tai started, clearly in a panic before he stopped himself and took a deep breath, managing to calm down before he sat back down on his bed, "Okay… that wasn't me. If it was me, then the damage wouldn't be that massive."

"So you're saying the one who caused this… is bigger?"

"Probably… and besides, most of the casualties were mainly injuries, I've never actually killed anyone. Injure, yes, but never kill."

"I'm sure we'll figure it out soon. You wanna head out?" Bruce asked, Tai simply nodding in response before they did so.


The duo then started on their way, with Tai wearing the trench coat and fedora he had before.

"They said that it was a dragon… what are we gonna do?" Tai wondered, not sure what to do or how to handle it.

"Isn't it obvious? We should stop this thing before it harms anyone else," Bruce told Tai, who still looked nervous.

"Are you forgetting that we're monsters as well? If we attempt anything that gets us too mad, then we'd end up hurting more people than save them," Tai responded.

"Trust me, in my case, I can get the other guy to redirect our anger at whatever might be heading our way. I can help you gain control of your beast. Can you trust me enough to help you?" Bruce checked with Tai, who just looked confused on what to do.

Before he could answer, however, they heard a crash and some car alarms go off nearby before they saw a car being thrown towards them.

"Look out!" Tai shouted before shoving Bruce out of the way, narrowly avoiding the thrown car before they looked up to see a big dark green brute about 11 feet tall, had a near reptilian appearance with what looked like armored skin/scales, and was overly muscular. He also appeared to have bones sticking out of his elbows and knees, as well as a visible rib cage, "What is THAT?!"

"The Abomination, an old foe of mine. Created from the same stuff that made the Hulk," Bruce answered, as the Abomination smirked at seeing the duo.

"So, here we are again, Banner. Just two monsters, locked in a battle to the death," the Abomination stated, smirking evilly.

"I'm sorry to do this to you, Tai, but I'll be right back," Bruce responded before running off the opposite direction.

"Hey, hey, where are you going?! You can't leave me here with him!" Tai exclaimed before the Abomination rushed up and punched him, sending Tai to the ground before being grabbed by the neck, Tai looking like he'd choke.

"Pathetic. Now do me a favor and die, so that the Hulk and I can fight," the Abomination scoffed before he threw Tai into a building, leaving a hole.

There was a pile of rocks over the poor white haired kid as the Abomination just chuckled sinisterly before a rumbling could be heard and he turned to see the rocks moving slightly. The rocks slowly began to roll off as a black reptilian claw could be seen emerging from the rubble. The rocks were then suddenly pushed off as a loud roar was heard, revealing a black bipedal dragon with yellow green reptilian eyes, 15 foot bat like wings from its back, a 7 foot long tail with spikes on the top, and an armored appearance thanks to the scales and three 2 foot long horns on both sides of its head, but it also had Tai's blue jeans, stopping midway after the knee caps as his legs and feet could be seen as dinosaur-esque. It snarled, revealing sharp teeth as it stared down the Abomination, who just laughed in response.

"I will admit, this is new, this is definitely new," the Abomination chuckled before the dragon stepped towards him. The dragon then roared loudly before they both ran towards each other, "Come on!"

The Abomination started charging, but the dragon flew in much faster before they clashed with each other, the dragon knocking the Abomination down to the ground, much to the Abomination's surprise, only to be picked up by the dragon and thrown into an empty bus. It then ran to the Abomination before jumping on him, punching the Abomination's body and clawing at his face, causing some very visible damage. The Abomination just grabbed his claws, roared for a moment before getting up, head-butting the dragon and slamming him into the ground, creating a crater in the ground. The Abomination then continued to punch the dragon before his fist was grabbed by the dragon's clawed hand, and it began to breathe fire out of his mouth, scorching the Abomination's face, making him scream in pain. The Abomination got off to keep the dragon's fire away before bumping into something, turning around to see a garbage truck. He smirked before picking up the truck and then throwing it at the dragon, but it managed to grab the truck before it could hit the dragon.

"...Well… didn't see that coming," the Abomination admitted before the dragon jumped up and slammed the truck onto him, flattening him against the street as another roar shouted out, the dragon turning to see a green skinned man with green eyes, black hair, a muscular figure and being as tall as the Abomination while wearing brown pants that were torn at the knees before the Abomination tore his way out of the truck, "...Hulk."

"Abomination…" the green giant, Hulk, growled back at him, "Should've known you would come here."

Abomination just growled, but his growled was muted by the growl of the dragon, which got Hulk's attention. The dragon growled at both Hulk and Abomination, apparently seeing both of them as a threat, its eyes widening and its pupils shrinking before roaring loudly and inhaled, set to breath fire in their faces. Luckily, both green giants dodged out of the way before the dragon launched its fire breath, the giants landing a distance apart, executing a staredown from the three before they all charged in. Their clash apparently caused a humongous shockwave, which shattered many window's somehow before they continued thrashing at each other. This lasted until the dragon punched Abomination into the air and flew up after him before breathing in and then spewed out an ice breath onto the green giant's limbs, much to Abomination's shock and confusion before the dragon grabbed his torso and careened down to the ground with him, spinning in a circle rapidly before they hit the street, creating a crater. Hulk just stood there, looking shocked and amazed by what happened, the smoke clearing before the dragon rushed out and tackled him to the ground before holding him down.

"Back off, scale-face," Hulk exclaimed, the dragon growling and roaring in response before the Hulk roared as he got up, the dragon still on him, "Hulk… SMASH!"

Hulk then pounded his fists onto the dragon's head, knocking it down at his feet before the dragon got right back up and tackled the Hulk before flying him into the sky, trying to knock the wind out of the Hulk. The green giant, however, slammed both fists on his back, causing the dragon to let go of the Hulk, making them both fall and crash into a forest. They both managed to get up slowly, before entering a staredown. The dragon was clearly more furious at this point, but Hulk wasn't phased as he stepped forward.

"Okay… listen, I know it's you in there, Tai… why not stop for a moment and calm down," Hulk started to try and negotiate, the dragon who is apparently Tai hissing at him in response, still on the defensive, "Easy now. I'm a friend… it's Bruce."

The dragon panted and tilted its head in confusion, its eyes widening and gaining a cat-like look as it examined the Hulk. It stepped slowly closer, a little hesitant, but looking curious as it stopped a couple inches away from the Hulk. The dragon then looked up at him as the Hulk held out a hand, the dragon looking at it before it raised its claw, unsure of what Hulk would do, before the Hulk put its claw on his hand. The dragon then took its claw off Hulk's hand and looked at it before grunting, gripping its head, reacting in pain as its body shrunk down, its tail retracting, wings folding up into its back and it, along with the spikes and claws retracted into the body to form Tai's tattoos as the scales turned back into his skin. His snout and teeth also flattening out until they became Tai's mouth, teeth, and nose, Tai falling down to his knees in exhaustion as he began breathing heavily. Tai struggled to catch his breath, fully back to normal before he looked up at the Hulk.

"H-Huh?" Tai responded, feeling winded, his vision not the clearest as he looked up at the Hulk, "Wh-What… What's going on?"

"You turned into the thing you mentioned before… turned out to be a dragon," Hulk answered, Tai still trying to catch his breath.

"Did… Did I hurt anybody?"

"Thankfully no, only a big green brute who attacked us first. You know, Abomination."

"Oh yea… that thing. Then I attacked you too… didn't I?" Tai panted, looking up at the Hulk.

"Yea… fortunately we were able to take our fight here. That way no one got hurt," Hulk added as Tai's vision cleared and he finally noticed who he was talking to, his eyes widening with surprise.

"Y-Y-Y… You're the Hulk?" Tai stuttered, shocked by this, the Hulk nodding in confirmation, "I-I-Is Bruce… still… uh... around?"

"…Yeah, Banner's in here. He's managed to control me enough to make sure you're safe as well as what's around us," Hulk informed as he took a deep breath, and calming down, slowly shrinking as his green skin turned a more natural skin tone, and returning back as Bruce, "Ugh… it's not easy letting the big guy take over… I had to jump off a building to call him out."

"So that's… where you ran to."

"Yeah… no matter how many times I tried to kill myself, he refused to let me die and comes out every time."

"...Suicide… is the coward's way out," Tai groaned, "Even I never went that low."

"I was desperate, okay? I've been at this just as long as you, if not more. But yes, after a while, killing myself wasn't the answer," Bruce admitted, "So, now what?"

"...I have no idea," Tai admitted, as he stood back up, "I don't think people in Philadelphia will be too welcoming after what we just went through. Maybe we should head North somewhere."

"Sounds like a good idea," Bruce agreed as he and Tai decided to walk out of the forest.


KKD: Whew! This is getting intense already.

TB: I may have to make a drinking game for every time I say 'Oh s*CAW!*!'.

KKD: Sheesh, really? That's gonna get messy.

TB: I'm only joking. But in all seriousness, with all that's happening in this story as of now, things can only get more intense from here.

KKD: Yea. But seriously, this guy was like my first OC Marvel character, and initially inspired by the Hulk with how he transforms, but also his original design was based off of Spyro the Dragon.

TB: But we also decided to base his current design off the Night Fury from How to Train Your Dragon.

KKD: Yea, pretty much, and that was a drastic departure from my original plans.

TB: Sorry about that. At least we kept his powers from Spyro, right?

KKD: Pretty much, yea. And for those who don't get it, we basically gave Toothless a bipedal form and the personality of the original green Hulk, and the powers of Spyro the Dragon with his multiple breaths.

TB: Also, for those hardcore of comic book nerds crying out 'Hulk shouldn't talk!', be quiet. He talks in the Avengers cartoon, Agents of S.M.A.S.H., as well as the recent Marvel comics… I think. Does the Hulk talk in the new comics?

KKD: Depends on the incarnation.

TB: Regular Marvel continuity in this case.

KKD: Yea, it's always in flux, and to my knowledge, he's got the mind and vocabulary of a child.

TB: But in this story we'll make an exception much like the current Marvel cartoons. Anyway, favorite parts time.

KKD: Gotta say, the reveal of Tai's dragon form and how he reverts to normal is a favorite part of mine.

TB: I like that along with his first fight against the Abomination and the Hulk.

KKD: Very cool, but due to some time constraints of of when we write this, we gotta get moving. Until next time, this is the Crossover King, KKD Silver…

TB: ...and the Lone Rider, TokuBrony…

KKD: And we'll see you next time. Jaa ne.

TB: SEIYAA!
