And here is chapter 3 to Justice League: The World Breaker Comes. So this chapter will take place roughly 2 weeks after the previous chapter and we will see Bruce Banner in east Africa (don't know where specifically but it's like on the savannah in Tanzania) helping people as always and action picks up and what not. Also the language being spoken is Swahili and I had to use google translate for it, so there will likely be some errors… sorry.

Chapter 3: Don't make me angry… ah screw it already am
Decent size village in Tanzania, East Africa July 8 1:02 PM
We come to find Dr. Banner currently aiding a community of people who are suffering from a mild disease outbreak. The disease itself wasn't the real issue as long as there's a fairly good doctor around to help, but sadly doctors of that nature are rare in this part of Africa. The main reason it's so hard for people to find any sort of medical help has to do with the local warlord who has made the surrounding area his own personal kingdom. And his men have been known to take any sort of medical supplies from the local communities along with food, water, and on some tragic occasion's women.
Bruce had arrived mainly by walking from the nearby city in a random direction and he happened to stumble across a few children who were playing what looked like soccer. Long story short one of the kids happened to speak some pretty decent English from a Christian missionary that was passing through a few months ago and told him how there was a sickness spreading. After hearing what the symptoms were, Bruce was relieved that while pretty serious, the outbreak was a disease that he could help with.
So now we find Bruce who is currently in the middle of talking to what he has assumed is the leader about the current situation with the little girl who he has come to learn is named Adia who was translating for him.
"Hatuna dawa za kutosha kwa kila mtu. Vita ndani ambaye anajiita claw imechukua kile kidogo tulikuwa na askari wake" The village leader said.
"He said that the local war lord named Claw has had his men take our medicine" Adia translated in into English with a noticeable accent.
Bruce had a small frown at that information. He was able to help stop the sickness that has been bothering the people here with the help of some of the locals but the people already sick needed actual medicine of a specific type. Which was currently from what he's been told is in the possession of this Claw character.
"Ask him where this man's compound is located" Bruce looked to Adia "I have a few ideas on how to get medicine back but I need to know where it is and what this 'Claw' guy has in terms of manpower and equipment"
Adia nodded and translated the request to the village leader. The man looked a bit concerned at what was being asked.
"Mtu ni karibu nusu siku kutembea kutoka hapa upande wa mashariki. mtu wake kwa kawaida kuja katika magari kadhaa wapatao kumi na ni silaha na silaha moja kwa moja. Nadhani wanaweza kuwa wachache kadhaa zaidi katika jumla." The leader said
Adia nodded before looking to Bruce and saying "He says that the compound is half a days walk to the east. 10 Men with weapons will come sometimes in several vehicles and that there might be several dozen more men inside the compound itself."
Bruce absorbed this information and pondered on how he could use it to his and these people's advantage. Hulk already had an idea.
"LET HULK OUT SO HULK CAN SMASH BAD MEN!" he shouted from inside Bruce's mind
Bruce responded 'Lets first get a look at this place before we go and start smashing things. I don't want to cause any more damage than this Claw guy and his goons already have'
Before he could think any further the three of them heard what sounded like several trucks approaching.
The village leader and Adia looked scared "It's the men from the compound!"
Bruce grew tense at that remark. 'Well big guy looks like I might be letting you out after all' Bruce thought tiredly 'Assuming someone doesn't magically appear to help us in the next 3 minutes.'
Bruce than said to Adia "Tell everyone to get inside and take cover. I'll deal with these guys"
"B-but they-" Adia started looking shocked
"Trust me, I have faced worse than these guys." Bruce simply said with a reassuring smile
Adia nodded as she and the village leader along with many other people began to take cover for the soon to be fight.
Bruce began to make his way towards the now visible 3 trucks that were currently stopping in the village center. The trucks themselves looked to be old military transport vehicles with rust and dents and scratches all along the frames. Each cab for the trucks had two men get out each armed with AK-47's while the men who got out of the backs of each truck in pairs were all armed with what looked like AKS-74U's. The men themselves didn't seem to be wearing any armor, most likely because of the heat and that the natives around here have no real weapons to use against them.
Still none of this had gave Bruce or the ready to pounce Hulk inside pause as they slowly approached the group. After facing down armies of gods, aliens, supervillains, fellow heroes, robots, and beings that could match Hulk at his strongest (so far…) a bunch of thugs with some decent weapons sure as hell wouldn't even register has a fly on their radar.
The men had seen Bruce and met him halfway before most stopped 3 meters away while the apparent leader marched right up to Bruce. He was a little over 6'3 to Bruce's near 5'10, so Bruce had to look up slightly towards the man.
They both stared at each other before the man said "Wewe ni nani?" in a tense voice
"I'm afraid I don't speak Swahili" Bruce responded completely relaxed
"Ahhh, you some westerner yes?" The man said in English with a pretty noticeable accent. "Come here from your mansion to help these people?"
"Hmmm, never really lived in a mansion before. Stayed at one yeah but never for very long. As for the helping well it's called being a 'Good Samaritan'." Bruce said as he kept the man in front of him and his friends in his line of sight and watch their reactions. He was really hoping this doesn't escalate too badly even though his smart ass remarks likely will cause it to. The men's weapons can easily pierce through materials of some of the homes and buildings around here and if they start shooting, people could die. Still if he is forced to turn it's likely that they will be too busy focusing on him or running away to care about the residents of this village.
All of sudden one of the men near the back of the group looked up and immediately yelled out something "Nani kuzimu ni kwamba?"
Bruce and the rest of the men looked up to wear he was pointing and they all stared in disbelief at what they saw.
A woman who looked to be in her late twenties was slowly descending towards them. She appeared to be 6'0 and had raven black shoulder length hair and a body to rival some of the women that Bruce and Hulk had worked with over the years. She was dressed in some kind of red, gold and blue armor that covered her entire body (it's her new look, the one with the arm blades) with what looked to be a sword and shield on her back and some kind of gold rope attached to her side.
All in all she looked both beautiful and intimidating at the same time. To the man that was speaking to Bruce and his men they seemed more put off by her than enchanted. Mainly because she was armed and was looking at them with a disapproving look. Bruce on the other hand was a little nervous that this woman was here. He knew who she was from the news channels and articles that he's been reading and watching.
Diana aka Wonder Woman. She was from what he's been able to put together is a representative of her island home of Themyscira home of the Amazons and works with the U.N. on a number of issues ranging from humanitarian efforts to dealing with warlords apparently. The reason he was nervous was she might intentionally or unintentionally set these already trigger happy looking men off. Granted he was well on his way to doing something similar but he had a plan more or less.
"The hell you doing here woman?" the man that was speaking to Bruce demanded with a little bit of fear indicating he knows who this woman is and what she can do.
"I'm here because the man you work for has been giving the Government of this nation and its people problems. I intend to put a stop to it." Wonder Woman said and if Bruce was listening correctly which was hard with how regal, authoritative and gentle her voice sounded all at once, it had a slight Greek accent to it.
"How? By killing us?" the man asked
"If you force my hand, but I prefer if you and your men lay down your arms and perhaps I can put in a good word for the local authorities who are already on their way." She said in a calm tone.
Before Bruce could react he was seized by the man he was talking to and felt a gun to his temple. Hulk did not seem to like this action at all.
'RRRRRAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH! HULK SMASH!' The now enraged Hulk screamed
Bruce had to suppress a wince as he felt himself nearly lose control of himself and let Hulk out. 'Easy big guy, easy, not yet' Bruce tried to calm the Hulk and only succeeded in slightly tempering him. But he knew at this rate Hulk was coming out, he just needed to see how this plays out before letting loose the dog of war (fun fact Hulk at one point was a horseman to Apocalypse, War specifically).
'HULK WANT OUT SO HULK CAN SMASH BAD MEN!' The Hulk stated
'…Alright but play nice, don't attack the woman unless she attacks first, got it?' Bruce asked
'HULK NO ATTACK PRETTY LADY UNLESS PRETTY LADY ATTACK HULK FISRT' Hulk said
'Err… yeah pretty lady right. Now wait for the signal' Bruce said.
He won't deny Hulk's rather accurate if understated name for Wonder Woman, because she definitely was pretty. Still it's been a while since Hulk has called any woman pretty before. The last one he did call that was Natasha Romanov and before that was Caiera.
"Unhand that man now!" Wonder Woman said with a warning in her voice as she slowly reached for her Lasso of Truth
"Call of the police. Or I shoot this man and kill him" the man said as he clicked the safety off.
Bruce all of sudden spoke up "Honestly pal you really should do what the heavily armed lady said. Because you holding a gun to my head is making me angry"
The man looked to Bruce "So?"
"Let's just say you wouldn't like me when I'm angry" Bruce responded cryptically feeling the Hulk literally at the door as his vision was slowly starting to have green edges.
"Sir I ask that you remain calm. I'll handle this" Wonder Woman said in a calm gentle tone, hoping the man won't do anything rash. Still she couldn't help the foreboding feeling she was getting all of sudden. Like something both incredible and terrifying at the same time was about to happen.
"I suggest you take your own advice and do what the lady says" the man said in a mocking tone as he repeated Bruce's earlier words.
Bruce was silent for a moment before saying "Well… I did warn you, now I'm angry"
All of sudden Bruce's eyes glowed green as he felt gamma radiation, cosmic radiation and even some dark magical energy flow through his body. The man holing Bruce immediately backed away out of fear and even Diana took a step back at what she saw.
Bruce's body began to rapidly and painfully from the looks of it as his skin turned green and his muscles bulged to the point they tore his shirt, pants and shoes apart leaving him clad in some kind of high tech looking pants. His height also continued to grow until he was almost twice his original height.
"RAAAGGGGHHHH!" the now emerged Hulk threw back his head and let loose a roar that echoed for miles around. He then slowly turned to the 10 men who were shaking and from the looks of a few ready to pass out.
"HULK… SMASH BAD MEN" stated the Strongest One There Is.
And scene. Next chapter the action happens as Hulk and Wonder Woman team up to take on a warlord and his army of cannon fodder. Also I've been thinking on whether I should bring Black widow into this universe or not. Like farther down the road and put her in the harem. Been a shipper of these two since the first Avengers movie came out. Let me know if I should or not. And the reason I'm going for the more recent look of Wonder Woman in post convergence mainly has to do with why not? Plus those arm blades look pretty sick, who agrees?
