Chapter 2: Transformation Complete
With Asuka captured by Hulking versions of her co-workers and Commander Ikari gone nuts there was nothing the redhead could do. She watched as Gendo commanded Major Yukari Jostar to activate the amplifier that would transform everyone in Tokyo-3 into giant Hulking monsters. The black-haired Major activated the amplifier that sounded off multiple pinging noises. It didn't hurt the ears of the Commander, Yukari or Asuka, but did hurt Shinji/Hulk's, Misato/She-Hulk's and Ritsuko/Grey She-Hulk's ears. It caused She-Hulk to drop Asuka and double over in pain, the same happen to the other two.
Gendo looked at the Hulks and over to Major Jostar. "What's happening to them?"
Yukari looked at the three and realized the problem. "Sir they are effected by the noise. They have sensitive hearing."
While that was happening Asuka saw her chance and made a break for it.
Yukari saw this and was pissed off. "Dammit she's getting away! After her you monsters!"
Before she could have the Hulks obey her command, Gendo stopped her. "Major there is no need to go after the Second Child. In time she will be under our control just like everyone else."
The outside of the GeoFront soon started to change colors. It turned from blue to green and started to very slowly engulf the city in a green energy field.
Asuka was running at full speed away from Central Dogma. The redhead knows when she is out matched and this is one of those times. She didn't know if the big off colored brutes were following her but she couldn't slow down now. Not with the GeoFront being used as an amplifier and about to transform everybody.
After a few minutes of running, Asuka took a sharp turn around a corner and knocked into somebody. It sent both the unknown person and Asuka to the ground.
"Ouch, hey watch where you're going!" Asuka yelled. She then looked at the girl and realized it was the blue haired albino Rei Ayanami.
"Wondergirl! You have to come with me, we're in danger!" Rei looked at the girl and stood up on her own. "Pilot Soryu, is there an Angel attack?"
Asuka got up and grabbed hold of Rei's arm. "There's no time! I'll explain on the way. Right now we just gave to get as far away from here as possible!" Asuka and Rei started to run and get away from the GeoFront.
Back in Central Dogma Commander Ikari and Major were awaiting the effects of the gamma amplifier.
"Just think, in mere minutes I will be unstoppable! Nobody will stop me! No one!" the Commander was so confident in that statement he didn't care Major Jostar herd.
"You know Commander, I wouldn't count my chickens before they hatch.
You had everything planned out, but did you expect this!" Major Yukari Jostar was transforming right before the Commander's eyes! She was turning into to a giant Hulking monster herself.
The Major doubled in size putting herself past Misato or Ritsuko in their She-Hulk forms. She turned into a ten foot tall, 700 pound light green She-Hulk only wearing tattered clothes. She let out a powerful roar and the smirked at the Commander.
"What's wrong Ikari? You've never seen a goddess before? Or are you shocked at this discovery?" Yukari said in a deeper voice.
The Commander backed away as far as he could from the now savage Major. "Jostar w-what is the meaning of this?"
The she beast looked at the Commander and replied "Its simple really, for years I've been studying Dr. Banner's work. I seceded were he failed and made myself ten times as powerful as him. It allowed me to kill him so he wouldn't find a way to cure us. Though it came with a price, when Banner was killed I was the next target on S.H.I.E.L.D's list and I couldn't take them out all on my own."
"So you joined NERV knowing that we were more powerful and provided you the tools for taking down S.H.I.E.L.D from the inside." Gendo interjected.
The Savage She-Hulk clapped her hands sarcastically. "Congratulations Commander, you've figured it out, but your too late. The amplifier is about to reshape everybody in Tokyo-3 into my image. With this army of dumbed down gamma soldiers I will take the fight directly to S.H.I.E.L.D and get rid of them once and for all! So before you lose your humanity to the gamma amplifier, any last words?"
Gendo looked at the Savage She-Hulk and said "Go to Hell!" soon the Commander was on the floor doubled over in pain.
The former Major turned beast women watched as Gendo's transformation started and said "I'll see you there Ikari."
Meanwhile in the lower depths of NERV Asuka and Rei had stopped to catch their breath.
"...Okay...so this what happen." Asuka looked at Rei and started to explain. "Commander Ikari and the Major of NERV's American branch have this plain to take over Tokyo-3. They are trying to turn everyone into monsters! They already turned Shinji, Misato and Akagi into monsters! They tried to do it to me but I escaped, we have to alert everyone
before it's to late."
The blue-haired albino was a bit shocked at how Asuka wanted to help someone other than herself.
"How are we to achieve that pilot Soryu?"
Asuka thought for a moment before realizing she didn't have a plain. "I don't know, but we just need to get farther away from here. The Command and that black-haired whore of his have this amplifier that can turn anybody into monsters. I think it has a range limit though, so the faster we move the safer we are."
Rei stepped forward and said something to the red head. "We should proceed moving forward and find an escape route." Asuka started running again and Rei followed quickly behind her.
Gendo Ikari the once Commander of NERV was now turning into a monster, a monster he once thought he could use for his own personal gain. But the tables were turned on him by a former spy who had a shocking secret of her own. Gendo was quickly succumb by the effects of the amplifier and started to transform. Unlike his son who had also been transformed against his will, Gendo turned into a giant red hulking behemoth. He stood ten feet tall in tattered clothes and looked like he could easily take out his son or anyone else. This new hulk stared madly at the Savage She-Hulk, Yukari Jostar and quickly attacked her. Of course the savage Major saw this coming and commanded someone else do her dirty work. How would the Red Hulk do in a three-on-one bout?
The gauntlet on the Savage She-Hulk's arm flashed blue as she instructed the three other hulks to do her bidding.
"Take out the Commander!"
Hulk, She-Hulk and Grey She-Hulk quickly got to work. The three original hulks surrounded Red Hulk like a pack of wild wolves. Grey She-Hulk attacked first and punched Red Hulk in the face. "No more talk, fight!" she kicked her former commander in his side and pushed him back.
Gendo/Red Hulk was stunned for a moment and then got over his stupor. He was about to strike but was quickly was tackled to the ground by She-Hulk. She started to punch him repeatly and said "Stupid bastard man!"
Red Hulk wasn't going to take this laying down and propelled She-Hulk off of him. The green Major fell on top of the grey scientist giving Hulk his moment to shine. Shinji with the power of his hulk side now had the power to take out his father. Hulk roared with anger and yelled "Hulk stop bad man! He make him go sleep!" Hulk threw a few punches that connected with his father's jaw, chest and midsection. He soon grabbed Red Hulk and threw him into a near by wall.
Shinji was finally standing up for himself against his father. He was finally taking out all his pent up rage on the man who abandon him for ten years, the man who refused to share a house with his son, and the man who used him and turned him into a monster. Nothing was going to stop him from taking out this son of a bitch. When both female hulks got back up to rejoin the fight, Hulk yelled at them. "No! This my fight!"
The females herd these words and understood. Hulk leaped up and smashed into his father. Both hulks went through the wall and started fighting each other. Both titans were delivering blows to one another and Hulk was getting the upper hand. Hulk smashed Red Hulk into submission. His rage kept him fueled and would have him keep fighting to the end. Hulk raised his hands over his head and yelled "Hulk smash!" then the final blow was delivered and Red Hulk was out cold.
Soon Hulk was dragging Red Hulk back to his savage leader. He dropped the former commander to the Savage She-Hulk's feet and grunted in triumph. With a smirk tugging on her face, the Savage She-Hulk said "Well it looks like the Commander was all talk." she then told the others to go look for Asuka and Rei. She didn't want them getting far from the GeoFront as she would need them for later use.
The hulks stood there slowly comprehending the command. Then Hulk looked at his savage ruler and clumsily said "Rei...is...friend."
She looked at him in mild shock before retorting "Is that free will? Stupid device! No matter, Hulk go get the firs...your friend and take those two bimbos with you!"
The off colored giants grunted and growled at their savage leader and then left Central Dogma in search of the two young girls.
While the GeoFront was slowly engulfing Tokyo-3 in a gamma dome, three unspecting workers were inside the NERV lounge taking their breaks. These were none other than the 'bridge bunnies' Maya Ibuki, Makoto Hyuga, and Shigeru Aoba. It was one of those days when there was nothing to do but paperwork. While on their break Maya was working on her laptop, Makoto was reading a manga, and Shigeru was playing air guitar.
"Man, I wish something interesting would happen today." Shigeru said breaking the silent.
The others stopped what they were doing to look at the part time rocker.
Makoto smiled and said "I know what you mean, I've been up to my neck in paperwork. Isn't that the Major's job?"
"Well I haven't seen the Major or sempai all day, maybe that's why we got stuck with the paperwork." Maya interjected. As the trio pondered this, Asuka and Rei came running by the lounge.
"Lieutenant Ibuki!" Asuka yelled. "You three have to get out of here! We're all in danger!"
The bridge bunnies looked at the redhead like she was crazy.
"Asuka, what's the matter?" asked Maya.
"Commander has transformed pilot Ikari, Major Katsuragi and Dr. Akagi into monsters according to miss Soryu." Rei answered for Asuka.
The trio wanted to laugh but realized if Rei was saying this it had to be true.
"H-how can this be?" asked Makoto.
"Yeah, there's no way the Commander could be capable of doing this." Shegeru added.
Asuka was about to yell at the two Lieutenants but then froze up suddenly as a green hue was entering the room slowly. Everybody was looking in the direction Asuka was staring at and saw the green hue.
"W-what is that!" exclaimed Maya.
Asuka came out of her stupor to inform everyone. "That m-must be part of that amplifier the Commander was using. We need to get out of here! We can't let that green energy touch us or we'll be turned into monsters too."
No one put up an argument with the pilot and ran out of the lounge.
In a few hours the green gamma energy would completely engulf the city. Every man, women, and child would be transformed into a gamma monsters and there was nothing they could do about it. This also included the two pilots and three Lieutenants who were running for the sake of their humanity. Asuka had led the group to one of the lower levels of the GeoFront, she was trying to buy them some time while she was making a plain.
"Asuka do you know where we're going?" asked Maya.
Asuka scowled at the women. "Does it matter at this point? As long as we're away from that green energy and those mutant freaks."
The men of the group couldn't help but agree with the girl but had their doubts they were going to last long. There wasn't many places left to run, either the gamma energy would catch them first or the gamma monsters would.
Unfortunately, it seems the gamma monsters reached them first. The group felt quakes in the ground as three large figures approached. It was the Hulk, She-Hulk and Grey She-Hulk.
"Oh. Shit." was all Asuka could get out as she realized the monsters were back and they were out for blood. "My god! What are those things?" Shigeru shockingly asked.
"The green beast are the Major and pilot Ikari and the grey one is Dr. Akagi." Rei said faintly.
Maya's eyes widen as she herd this statement. "Sempai?"
Hearing this the grey she beast stopped, she was trying to remember where she had herd that word before but shock it off and went back on the attack. All three Hulks were moving closer towards the group, but then the Hulk started to speak.
"Rei…is…friend. They…all…friends."
A sigh of relief was herd when they realized that they weren't in anymore danger. It was also clear that the female hulks understood that the small humans weren't a threat. Finally something was going right.
But that wasn't the case, even though the hulks weren't attacking that didn't stop the gamma energy rays from advancing. The rays were creeping behind the hulks and caused some of the group to scream out in fear.
"Shit, we have to get out of here!" Shigeru yelled.
With that everyone started to run leaving the hulks to wonder what was happening.
"We save friends." She-Hulk got out. She ran towards the green rays and attempted to punch at it only to realize it was intangible. There was no way of stopping the rays and they were catching up to the group. While Asuka was running she tripped and fell to the ground. She wasn't quick enough to get back up and was soon covered by the gamma rays.
"No, Asuka!" yelled Maya as another one of her co-workers was starting to transform.
Makoto grabbed Maya and said "We can't go back now, its too late to save her."
With that both Lieutenants ran after the others in hopes to get away.
Asuka at first cried out in pain but was then replaced with laughter. The young pilot's mind was being corrupted with the effects of the gamma rays. Asuka's skin turned red and her body slowly started to expand with muscle. Unlike the others she started to welcome this new transformation and embraced it, soon Asuka became a red hulking titan. She stood to her feet and sized up her opponents, all three hulks!
Author's Note: Thank you to everyone who read the first two chapters and shout out to my first three reviews. Also to Gunman, taking his suggestion I added a brief fight scene between Red Hulk and Hulk and trust me there's more coming in the next few chapters.
-Remember, the future is bulletproof...
