Part 38: "World War Sailor Moon" (XII)
Just as all things seemed lost, the Specter shows up. He was white skinned, wore a green cape and hood, and wore green slippers. In spite of his ridiculous attire, he represented the wrath of God.
"For too long, the Moon Princess and her cadre have been allowed to be left alone," the Specter said, as he grew big. "That ends today."
"What's he doing?" Jessie Quick said, as she removed herself from Hulk-Saturn's reach.
"It looks like we got a trump card," said Hourman, as he looked on.
Hulk-Saturn turns just as the Specter grabbed her.
"Urgh!" Hulk-Saturn said, as she was being choked.
"In spite of your age, you are too dangerous to remain in existence, little one," the Specter said. "I apologize for this…"
"Specter!" Power-Woman yelled, as she floated in view. "Don't kill her!"
"Just because she is your mother's friend, that makes no difference to the Presence," the Specter said.
"It does to me," said another disembodied voice, as its owner materialized. She appeared to look like a ghostly version of Usagi Tsukino, and was dressed in a white body-suit while wearing a light blue hood and hood.
"And it does to the Presence."
"Your mercy is not warranted, Radiant," the Specter said.
"Mom?" Power-Woman asked, confused by these turn of events. Then again, her mother's propensity to have numerous guises is typical of the Moon Princess…
"No, but I wear your mother's form as the representation of God's mercy," said Radiant, as she grew gigantic. She then applied the classic "Vulcan Nerve Pinch", supernatural style.
"Urg!" The Specter said, as he was knocked out, while letting go of Hulk-Saturn. He then quickly reverts to normal human size, and then back to human form…
"Uhhhhh," said Gotham City Police Detective Crispus Allen, a goatee-wearing African-American.
"It is done," Radiant said, as she shrinks back to normal, as assumes the form of a brunet nun named Sister Clarice.
"We should have you on our team," said Green Lantern Allen Scott, as he arrived. He is typically around on a semi-retired basis.
"Allen, what's the situation?" Power-Woman asked.
"More of these…'Hulk-Scouts' are everywhere," Allen said.
"'Hulk-Scouts'?" Obsidian said in disbelief.
"More of these?" asked Jade.
"I got word from Ranma that Usagi is at the epicenter of this, but is working to contain the situation."
"I KNEW Mom was involved," Power-Woman said, as she looked over at the prone body of Hulk-Saturn, who reverted to a gray form. She then turns towards Allan.
"So, what's the plan?"
"We contain this one until the government arrives-"
Suddenly, Mr. Terrific's T-Balls began to beep furiously.
"Mr. Terrific?" Power-Woman asked.
"I don't know why, but I'm picking up a spatial disruption that is centered around-"
Hulk-Saturn disappears in a sparkle of light.
"-Her," Mr. Terrific said.
"Where the hell did she go?" said the giant Atom Smasher, as he shook his head. He was the first to fall…
"Someplace else, apparently," said the Flash, as he rubbed his forehead. "We better let Ranma know about this…"
Hulk-Uranus and Hulk-Neptune versus the Defenders!
The Island of Antiquity was a joint project started by the Atlanteans and the Amazons. Although it is used to show the world that these two peoples can achieve peaceful coexistence, and that they were not a threat to the rest of the world, there was a degree of rivalry between the two groups, hence this "Club Med" resort setting. Actually, the women of Atlantis—mermaids and otherwise—wanted to show up the Amazons as being "real" women. Naturally, the Amazons took offense to this, even though a number of them shunned men, and so a sort of friendly rivalry had begun, which resulted in lots of fish jokes being thrown on both sides.
Visiting this place were a number of people, including-
"Bruce Banner!" said Betty Ross Talbot Banner, as she yelled at her husband.
"What is it, dear?" Bruce said, as he lowers his book. He and Betty were lounging by the pool, and being served along with the rest of the tourists.
"I can understand you gawking at these…women, but you're always buried in your work."
"Work? I like reading technical manuals."
"Bruce, this is the first time in years since we had ANY rest," Betty said, as she fully turns to face her husband. "Look, we promised after that whole fiasco in Washington to have a normal life together."
"Well, we can't exactly have that, considering the fact that we're part of the so-called 'Incredible Hulks'."
"I thought it was 'Hulk Family'?" Betty asked.
"Eh. I took Skaar to see his first animated film about 'The Incredibles'."
"And?"
"He thought the public was given them WAY too much credit. I mean, I met 'Mister Incredible'…during my more 'rage-a-holic' days."
"You mean your 'Hulked' out moments."
"Of course, dear.
"Look, I KNOW that. Long before I became HER, I accepted this part of you."
"Then why were you always running away?"
"No, you ran away thinking that I couldn't be with you. And then, I left you when you couldn't trust ME."
"Oh, I see…"
"But that's all in the past now," Betty said, as she leans forward. "No matter what, we'll always stick together…"
Bruce places a hand on his wife's facial cheek. He leans in for a kiss, when catastrophe suddenly hits, as the pool of water suddenly erupted.
"Bruce-!" Betty yelled in fright, as patrons scattered
"Betty, stay back!" Bruce yelled, as a huge, elemental-like female emerged. She appeared to be translucent, as if her form was made from water. Within was a light green, muscular woman. When she moved, the water form moved in tandem.
"Where is Usagi?" yelled Hulk-Neptune, as she stared at the couple.
"What does Usagi have to do with us?" Bruce said, as he attempted to shield his wife.
"You stink of her, that's what!" Hulk-Neptune said. "I smell it within you!"
"Bruce, what is she talking about?" Betty asked.
"It must be the fact that in a possible future, my evil doppelganger, the Masetro, gave Usagi a complete blood transfusion," Bruce said. "Most likely her physiology incorporated my blood make-up-"
Suddenly, Hulk-Neptune uses her water form to grab Bruce.
"Bruce!" Betty yelled.
"Betty-!" Bruce yelled back, as he struggled. He felt his body being squeezed.
"You will pay for making the Princess into a Hulk!" Hulk-Neptune said with anger. "Because of YOU, we are like this!"
Seeing her beloved being hurt, Betty's anger grows, triggering her transformation into the Red She-Hulk.
"Finally, some action," Red She-Hulk said, as she rips up a part of the pavement to throw at Hulk-Neptune. "Time to aim dead center-"
"Deep Smash!" Hulk-Neptune said, as she discharged her attack. Enhanced, it delivered a devastating blow upon impact.
"Arrrrrgh!" Red She-Hulk yelled, as she was knocked off her feet, and many yards away.
"BETTY!" Bruce yelled, as his own anger transformed into…the Hulk.
"Hulk SPLASH!" Hulk yelled, as he clapped his hands. This creates a concussive blow that destroys much of Hulk-Neptune's water form, exposing the real version.
"Ah!" Hulk-Neptune yelled, as she faltered under the force of Hulk's rage.
"Now, fake 'She-Hulk' will pay-!" Hulk said, just as he was about to throw his attack…
"WORLD SMASH!" yelled a voice, as concussive force of energy smashed into Hulk, nearly shaving off some skin and muscle.
"Arrrgh!" Hulk yelled, as he landed. He looked up to a muscle-bound being made from light, as orbs circled her.
"You smash mate, Uranus will smash YOU!" Hulk-Uranus yelled, as she forms a huge sword made from light. She rushes to charge the behemoth, when a beam of light lances her, knocking her off her trajectory. Hulk turns to see his old team-mates: the Defenders.
"It appears that we have gotten here on time," said Dr. Strange, as he, Namor the Submariner and the Silver Surfer emerged from a portal. Although Dr. Strange was no longer the Sorcerer Supreme, he still has his team-mates and missions to consider…
"What nonsense have YOU caused this time, monster?" said Namor said.
"Shut up, fish-man!" Hulk said. "Not Hulk's fault this time."
"Indeed, I sense the latent energies of my fellow herald within these two," the Surfer said, referring to Usagi as he Silver Sailor Moon…
"We must contain them quickly," Dr. Strange said, just as Hulk-Neptune attacked.
"Graaa!" Hulk-Neptune said, as she was about to pounce, only to have Namor cold-cock the enhanced senshi.
"Enough!" Namor said, as he laid the female down next to the other downed female.
"Indeed," Dr. Strange said, as he used the fable "Crimson Bands of Cyttorak" to hold the females. "Now, we can take them-"
Suddenly, the two hulked-out senshis were teleported away.
"Trans-material energy conversion," the Surfer said.
"I cannot detect those two," Dr. Strange said. "If I had my old job, I might be able to do so…"
"No!" Hulk yelled, as he smash ground with his foot. "They got away-"
"Hulk!" Red She-Hulk said, as she stumbled to her feet.
"Is wife okay?" Hulk said.
"Yes, SHE is," Red She-Hulk said sarcastically. She then changed her disposition.
"So, you want to go down to the beach to…hang out?"
"Hulk no want to!"
"Please?" Red She Hulk cooed, before she kissed her massive husband.
"Well, okay," Hulk bashfully, as he picked up his wife.
"Oh, baby…"
As the Hulk couple walk off to the beach for some "quality time", the Silver Surfer turns towards Namor.
"What do you suppose the Hulk is going to do?" the Surfer asked.
"Apparently, his wife," Namor growled.
END FLASHBACK!
"Yes, it will only be a matter of time before the Moon Princess will return," the Leader said.
"Time's up," said Madam MODOC, as she was fed new information.
"Then the Moon Princess HAS returned from the future."
"Nothing escapes your notice, huh?"
"…"
