Banner opened his eyes from the best nap he'd had in a while. He yawned as he did a sit-up."Wait...," he said remembering what a 'good nap' meant for him. He had turned...
Bruce quickly looked around to find tress for miles. In every direction, a blush and beautiful forest a far as the eye could see. "Where...where am I?" He struck out on the clearest path when he got to his feet. Footprints suddenly appeared on the path. They gradually increased in size leading toward him. When the path ended, there was a huge crater. Did something huge land here? Wait, he recognized these footprints! "No...," Banner began fearing for the worst. Was the little girl in red along with anyone else hurt? He had to find out if she was okay! Bruce thought long and hard..."What did he do? What did I do?"
"The man with the white suit and cane...the goons...the pain..." Banner remembered the sharp metal sword that pierced right through him. "NO! I can't lose control," he gasp. Banner fell to his knees and felt the pain and the anger from the blade that had gone through his chest in the night. He frantically looked around and saw it - a beautiful red rose. The flower reminded Banner of the girl in red from the night before. He started to calm down as he remembered her adorable little smile.
A loud, low growl broke the silence of the forest. A huge black wolf with armor made of bone meet Banner's gaze. The beast towered over him, twice his size. It had to be an alpha.
"N-no! GO AWAY," Banner screamed in fear. The wolf slowly circled around him, waiting for the perfect time to attack.
The creature pounced at its next meal.
Banner threw arms in the way and into the wolf's mouth. He screamed as bones shattered in the creatures teeth. As the giant wolf ate Bruce alive...it's mouth began to fill with more and more meat. It made a nose questioning why it's meal was now bigger than it...
"HULK NOT DOG FOOD!"
The wolf let out a cry of pain as it slammed against a tree. Dozens of toothpicks blasted everywhere. Recovering, the wolf bared its teeth toward the puny human that it had 'killed.' Banner's eyes and skin were taken over by the color of green. Bones began breaking as muscles starting tearing once again.
"BIG BAD WOLF, HULK SMASH!"
The wolf scratched the earthly ground, ready to charge. Hulk now pounced on his prey. The two creatures clashed together.
"Okay. One last time, Miss Rose, where did that creature go?" Ozpin questioned Ruby again.
"I've already told you a dozen times," Ruby groaned. "I was about to die in an explosion and then he came out of nowhere and saved me." Ruby sighed in frustration. Glynda and Ozpin looked toward each other realizing that this wasn't going anywhere.
"Miss Rose, do you know who I am?" Ozpin asked more calmly. His silver hair sparked in the light as he held his cane tightly. They had been back and forth about this 'Hulk' for at least an hour.
"You're Professor Ozpin, headmaster at Beacon," Ruby said with a smile. If anyone could get her into Beacon, the greatest combat school in all of Remnant, Ozpin could. The headmaster with his brown eyes made Ruby feel special. "What if I told you that you could come to my school?"
"Two years early?" Ruby asked standing in excitement." Ozpin nodded at her. "You wouldn't regret it," Ruby said shaking with happiness. Glynda's eyes widened as she heard the sudden news .
"Well, I will see you at Beacon, Miss Rose," Ozpin said as he shook Ruby's hand.
Ozpin and Glynda sent Ruby home with the news.
"What makes you think she's ready for Beacon?" Glynda yelled at Ozpin who drank from his mug.
"Her mastery over her scythe, her uncle is one of the most respected Huntsmen and she could help us find that creature," Ozpin said in a relaxed tone.
"She's just a child," Glynda protested. "What if that creature doesn't remember her? Will you take responsibility for her death?" Glynda asked, defensively crossing her arms.
"If that creature wanted Ruby dead, she would have been," Ozpin said as he pulled up a video showing the times the Hulk was close to Ruby and didn't hurt her. "See? This...'Hulk' had many opportunities to kill her. But he didn't. He protected Ruby from those who wanted to kill her."
"She's bait then," Glynda realized. Ozpin turned to face her and stood from his chair.
"No. My plan is for to learn become a Huntress...just like her mother wanted." It brought ozpin to light tears thinking her, Summer, once again. "Then we'll be able to find out what this Hulk creature is. I've made many mistakes, Glynda. But this time, you have to trust me," Ozpin said as he put his hand on her shoulder.
"I hope you're right, Ozpin. You had better know what you're doing for the sake of that innocent little girl!" Both headed out and prepared for the new school year.
"I got in! I got in! I got in!" Ruby burst in door of her home screaming the news to her dad and her older sister, Yang.
Yang's golden hair bounced as she jumped up and down. "I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me! And two years early! This is the best day ever," Yang exclaimed as she lifted her smaller sister high into the air.
"Let me down sis," Ruby said embarrassed by her size.
"But im so proud of you," Yang said letting Ruby fall to her feet.
"Really, sis, it was nothing," Ruby smiled.
"What do you mean? It was incredible! Everyone at Beacon is going to think you're the bees knees," Yang smiled.
"I don't want to be the bees knees! I don't want to be anyone's knees! I just want to be a normal girl, with normal knees," Ruby explained.
"What's with you? Are you excited?" Yang asked.
'Of course I am," Ruby said hurt. It had been her life long dream to attend Beacon. "I got moved ahead, two whole years. I just don't want people to think i'm special or anything."
"But, you are special," Yang said comforting her sister.
"Will I be ready?" Ruby questioned. "I will be two years younger than everybody there."
"Of course," Yang nodded. "You're Ruby Rose! You've never back down from a challenge! Plus," Yang whispered into Ruby's ear, "I'll beat up all the bullies." She popped her knuckles loudly. Tomorrow Ruby and Yang would start at Beacon together.
The wolf charged Hulk and bit his green shoulder, breaking all of its teeth.
"NO BITE HULK!" Hulk grabbed and picked up the wolf by the neck and leg. And loud snap was heard as the wolf was bent it in half like a pretzel. "SMASH YOU," Hulk roared as he slammed the body repeatedly into the ground. The wolf's carcass disintegrated.
Hulk screamed in victory, "HULK IS STRONGEST THERE IS!" He leaped miles away due to his powerful legs. "WHERE HULK AT?" he asked soaring through the air. All he could remember was fighting the cane man and glowing woman and protecting her, Ruby. Hulk had to find pretty red girl!
He made his way to Mountain Glenn, a failed attempt to expand Vale. A destroyed building shook as Hulk landed on the roof. He looked up and saw an airship flying toward a strange floating island. In the airship, he saw her, the pretty red girl. Before he could jump off the building, he heard gun fire.
Atlas soldiers fought off the White Fang. Hulk was bored; he wanted to smash. He jumped to ground level, causing everyone to fall. One of the shocked Atlas soldiers yelled, "It's the monster from last night!" Everyone trained their fire on Hulk, making him angry.
"SMASH," Hulk screamed as he charged toward the White Fang. Grabbing the concrete slab they were standing on, Hulk pulled it out from under them. Hulk turned to face the Atlas soldiers and charged them. A huge aircraft exploded as Hulk ran through it like tissue paper.
"We need to call for help," one of the soldiers said as he pressed a button. More aircraft flew in delivering more soldiers, but it didn't work. Hulk tore through their ranks quickly.
"RETREAT," one of the soldiers screamed as he saw the Hulk destroy another aircraft. He called up to the control deck. "SEND IN MISS POLENDINA,' the soldier ordered. Hulk grabbed the soldier before he could make another move. Before Hulk could hurt the soldier, something behind him hit the ground, hard. He turned to find an orange-headed girl with a pink bow.
"Salutations," she said waving. Hulk shook his head in confusion as he jumped away. In mid-air, he felt a stabbing pain in his back and was pulled back to the ground. The ground dented as Hulk slammed on the concrete.
"HULK NO WANT TO FIGHT LITTLE GIRL," Hulk growled getting back to his feet. He faced his new opponent.
"It's okay," she said with an innocent smile, "I'm combat ready!" Swords came out of her back and aimed toward Hulk's chest. "Don't worry! I'll try to make this painless." Mini rockets poked out of her back and blasted her forward at tremendous speed. She sliced away.
Hulk was shocked; this girl was actually hurting him. This made him furious. He hit the ground with all of his might, causing an earthquake. The girl was knocked back a little. Hulk leapt toward her trying to grab her, but she was just too fast. Easily dodging, she sliced at his face. Hulk had had enough. He slammed his fist down on her, but she put her hands up blocking his attack. The impact caused everything near them to blast away.
"You're pretty strong," she said in excitment. Her swords came together between to two fighters and green light formed in the middle of them. Hulk was shot with a beam of energy causing him to fly into a building making a massive explosion. The Hulk was going to end this.
Hulk jumped out of the rubble and charged for the girl. She was caught off guard by how fast he had become. Hulk grabbed her leg and slammed her into the ground. He pummeled her over and over. Hulk didn't hold back this time, slamming her deeper in the ground with each blow.
"LITTLE GIRL, LEAVE HULK ALONE," Hulk screamed as he finally stopped beating her. He turned and followed the aircraft Ruby had boarded. He eventually ended up in the Emerald Forest, making his way through it and eventually onto school grounds.
Banner woke up not knowing where he was, again. "OH NOT AGAIN!" He walked around the school, getting dirty looks from students and felt nude with only pants he had to hold up. "Am I at a...school?" Bruce had just noticed that everyone he had passed by were wearing uniforms. Banner walked up to a girl who was sitting on a bench and reading a book. "Ummmm, can I ask you a question?"
The girl looked up, then right back into her book.
"Hey," Bruce said trying to get her attention, "i'm talking to you." The girl stood up and walked away. Banner turned to see where she was going, then saw her; the girl in red. She was talking to a blond girl who quickly disappeared with a group of people. He started to approach but was blindsided by a girl in white. They both fell and vials of colored powered rolled everywhere.
"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING," the girl in white yelled as she got up. "And put a shirt on for goodness sake," she said blushing as she picked up her briefcases.
"I'm sorry," Banner said as he tried to help her, only making it worse. He dropped a suitcase and it opened to reveal more colored crystals. Some fell out and rolled over to feet of Ruby who had just walked past.
Ruby looked over to see Bruce getting chewed out by a girl in all white. "YOU?" Ruby exclaimed. She quickly dashed over and interrgated Bruce, "WHAT? HOW? WHY?"
"Yes, it's me," Banner nodded. "Hey I didn't catch your name," Banner said to her.
"Ruby Rose, nice to meet you…again." Ruby looked down to find that Banner had healed from last night. Before Ruby could say anything, the girl in white came in between them.
"Hello!" she said as she waved her arms in front of the two. "You," she said pointing to Ruby, "You can't just barge into people's conversations," then she turned and pointed toward Banner, "And you! You need to watch where you're going!" She turned and stormed off.
"Nice girl," Banner said as he walked away. "Brings out that scar over her left eye."
"Wait," Ruby called out to him as she followed. "What are you doing here?" she asked.
"I...I don't know. Where exactly am I?" Banner looked around.
"Beacon Academy?" Ruby tilting her head. How does someone not know their in one of the best schools to be a Huntsmen?
"Academy?" Banner asked. If this was a college..."Is there a headmaster here?"
"Yes! Professor Ozpin. He's the best," Ruby said remembering the night before.
"Where is he?" If anyone could help Bruce, the headmaster surly could.
"So, what are you doing here?" Ruby asked as Banner followed her.
"Let's go find out," Banner said as they headed toward Beacon Tower.
