Chapter 11: Smashing Entrance
Samson now stood, more muscular and with green hair, glaring evilly at the Avengers. Thor and Hercules cracked their knuckles, but both stared each other, wanting the glory of the fight. Captain America said,
"You work for the Intelligencia."
Samson smirked,
"Yeah. Created the Red Hulk too. You wouldn't believe how easy it was to sucker that guy into it."
Red Hulk, who was starting to get up, heard this and shouted,
"WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"
Doc Samson flexed his muscles,
"This is what we were working on. We needed to know if we could transplant the process into other humans, and we succeeded beyond our wildest dreams."
Tigra hissed and Iron Man surmised,
"That means that you can create a whole army of Hulks."
Doc Samson tapped his head,
"Already ahead of you, Iron Man. Right now, the Intelligencia is getting ready to unleash the first wave of soldiers with Hulk-like powers. Of course, they won't be as strong as Red over there, but that can be modified later."
Just then, there was a loud explosion and a man with an egg-shaped head was running for his life, followed by several very muscular soldiers that looked similar to the Red Hulk. The man's name was Egghead, and he was shrieking girlishly,
"HELP ME, SAMSON! HE'S LOOSE!"
Several other soldiers were grunting loudly as Samson looked,
"What is this?"
And then, the two most worry-some words that could be uttered were uttered,
"HULK SMASH!"
Meanwhile…
Satana called out again,
"Doc! What's taking so long?"
The green-skinned She-Hulk was awake, but her healing factor was nothing like her red-skin's counterpart. The Red She-Hulk paced slowly around the force field,
"Time's ticking, Strange. What are you going to do?"
Hawkeye got his bow ready,
"We got her covered. Go help Crisis."
Persiana paced around, getting ready to pounce. Crystal, Moon Knight, and Falcon also got ready. The Sorcerer Supreme lowered the force field and the Red She-Hulk sprinted for that room. Crystal unleashed a flaming tornado and attempted to throw aside the ruby-skinned strongwoman. The Red She-Hulk got thrown into a wall, but stood up almost immediately. Hawkeye fired his bow and Moon Knight threw his moon-boomerangs at the Intelligencia's agent. Though it slowed her down, it did not stop her and tried to go again. Persiana immediately pounced, yelling,
"Get away from my boyfriend!"
She quickly scratched Red She-Hulk's face. The strongwoman screamed in pain, but then grabbed the white-furred acrobat by the neck and glared evilly,
"Just for that, I'm going to snap you like a twig."
Red She-Hulk's burning skin was already starting to show, and Farrah was feeling it. She shouted in pain as the touch burned her skin. Crystal wanted to unleash another tornado, but Falcon shook his head,
"Don't! You'll hit Farrah!"
Hawkeye readied another arrow,
"I won't."
He fired a flash-bang arrow near Red She-Hulk. The resulting blinding light and the loud noise was enough for Red She-Hulk to lose her grip on Persiana, but the white-haired cat-girl could not get away, as she was wailing in pain for having her senses overloaded. She curled up into a ball, her eyes tightly shut and her hands over her ears. Red She-Hulk was also disorientated, but wobbled to her feet,
"That does it. Once I kill Crisis, you're next, Robin Hood!"
Hawkeye readied another arrow and fired it. The Red She-Hulk caught it and crushed it with her hand. Then, her healing factor orientating her back to normal, she made a mad dash for the room, smashing the wall as she did.
However, when she got inside, Dr. Strange, Satana, and Crisis were no longer there. The Red She-Hulk looked around, confused,
"What the hell?"
Crystal looked inside,
"There's no one here."
Falcon blinked,
"What? But, we saw Strange enter that room!"
Just then, the lights in the hallway went out and, in the darkness, a pair of glowing red eyes pierced through, and a voice said,
"Hello, Betty."
Moon Knight asked,
"Leon? Is that you?"
Hawkeye blinked,
"He's awake."
The Red She-Hulk shook her head,
"You're awake? But…but Dad-."
Instantly, she covered her mouth, letting the secret slip. Crisis' voice continued to pierce the darkness,
"You talked first, Betty. Tell me; do you think the Intelligencia would allow you to live, knowing now you told them before I did?"
The lights came back on and Crisis was standing behind the ruby-skinned strongwoman. His eyes were glowing a frightening red, but, it was a silent rage, combined with an air of coldness. He tapped her shoulder,
"I'm right behind you, Betty."
Betty swung wildly from behind, but missed. The precognitive powerhouse used his speed and appeared in front of her,
"You're losing focus, Betty. Finish your mission."
With that, the Red She-Hulk turned and tried to hit Crisis, but the red-eyed teen blocked it and twisted the strongwoman's arm behind her back. With a powerful throw, the swordsman threw this Betty out of the heli-carrier.
