Hulk leapt toward Ironwood with his fist in the air as Ironwood ran toward him. Hulk tried to overhand Ironwood as he slid under his legs and shot Hulk multiple times in the chest. Hulk turned to throw a punch straight at Ironwood. Ironwood caught the gigantic fist in his right hand. Glynda and Ozpin stumbled back from the force of the wind exploding from between the hands of the two warriors.

"LITTLE MAN STRONG, HULK STRONGER," Hulk growled at the struggling General.

"We'll see about that," Ironwood spat through his teeth. He spun his revolver and Hulk was jerked off his feet from bullet's destroying his left knee. Ironwood used the momentum from all Hulk's muscle mass, slamming him on the ground. Hulk's head smashed into the flooring, shaking the room.

Hulk saw the end of a mighty revolver aimed in eye. "Grrrrrr-,"

Ironwood silenced the beast by unloading his entire chamber in its face. "Funny," Ironwood said saddened, "I thought you would put up more of a fight." Ironwood holstered his weapon, turning away.

Hulk's face had steam and blood come out of the many bullet holes...

"WHAT DID YOU DO?" Ozpin cried.

The General turned to face the Headmaster and Glynda who was covering her mouth. "He was too dangerous to live. I had to kill him. I did us all a favor if I'm being completely honest," Ironwood said getting out a handkerchief and wiping blood off his cheek.

"James!" Glynda screamed. Ironwood turned to have a green fist backhanded him across the room.

Hulk spat out bullets and turned to Ozpin and Glynda, "Hulk...SMASH EVERYONE!"

"Now what do we do?" Glynda asked the Headmaster. Ozpin always had a plan...always.

"We can't fight him. We have to calm him down-," Ozpin said right as he evaded a punch. "GLYNDA," Ozpin ordered as he felt his ribs crack within Hulk's grasp. Within his thousands of years of life, he'd never felt pain like this.

Hulk let go of the man, revealing his breaking his fingers. Purple dust surrounded Hulk and forced him to kneel slowly, cracking the floor.

"I never thought someone could have this much strength..." Glynda panted. Sweat formed on her forehead. Not even lifting a bride affected her aura this much!

Hulk looked toward Glynda with hate and anger. "NO ONE...MAKE HULK KNEEL!" Glynda to fell to her back as Hulk broke free, shattering her aura. She looked up in absolute fear. finding two green eyes fill of rage staring back. "Hulk remembers you..." A can smashed into Hulk's face, crashing into a wall to save a downed Huntress.

"I know we have no chance...but we have to try," Ozpin announced.

This filled Glynda with hope. "Yes, Headmaster." She stumbled to her feet, but grabbed her wand and took her side next to Ozpin.

Hulk gritted his teeth so hard they were breaking as he bolted toward them. He threw a punch not caring who's life he took first. Glynda waved her wand making Hulk miss Ozpin by inches. The Headmaster took his chance; Hulk slammed back into the wall from a devastating poke. He recovered quickly, shaking with anger. Ozpin put up a shield to protect him and Glynda at the last second. Hulk keep punching at the force field, slowly cracking it with each blow.

"SMASH!"" Hulk aimed his fist back, hitting the force field with his hardest strike. Ozpin flew back, rolling across the ground as fragments of the shield faded.

Glynda screamed as she was stomped into the ground. "LITTLE WITCH," Hulk screamed standing over her, "SMASH!" His fist slammed down on her. Glynda closed her eyes waiting for her demise. Instead, the sound of metal rang in everyone's ears.

Ironwood held Hulk's fist inches from her face. He looked back, "You don't get to die today, Goodwitch." Hulk was sent back by a kick to the stomach. Ironwood's shirt hung in tatters; half metal half human. "This time I won't take it easy on you," Ironwood told Hulk who clinched his fists and lowered his head.

"SMASH," Hulk screamed. Ozpin, Glynda, and Ironwood lined up and drew their weapons, ready to fight as a team.

"Ready…GO!" They all leaped toward Hulk who let out a roar as he charged.


Ruby woke up in the middle of the night. Checking the time, she was surprised she'd only been asleep for a few hours.

"Yang...are you awake?" Ruby said shaking her sis.

"Ruby, what's the matter with you, waking me from my beauty sleep?" Yang asked rubbing her eyes.

"A huge Grimm or something, it woke me up," Ruby said.

Yang frowned. "Ruuuuuby. Leave me alone. The best Huntresses and Huntsmen in all of Remnant protect Beacon. They'll stop Grimm if they're in the school," Yang said as she turned back over and fell asleep. Ruby decided to do the same but her mind would not shut down, almost as if she could hear Ozpin and Glynda in trouble.


Hulk grabbed Glynda, slamming her into the flooring. Glynda coughed blood as Hulk kicked Ozpin, sending him flying and breaking bones.

"FACE ME!" Ironwood ran toward Hulk shooting him in the back. Hulk turned and grabbed Ironwood's neck, slowly crushing his throat in his green hand. Hulk kept squeezing until he heard Glynda and turned with Ironwood still in his grip.

"Banner..forgive me." Glynda's wand raised and purple aura surrounded Hulk's neck.

Snap.

Ironwood fell to the ground gasping for air as Hulk dropped to his back.

Glynda fell to her knees not beveling what she had done, "I...I didn't mean..." She had killed before. Assassins, rouge Huntsmen and Grimm, but she gave them chances before acting first!

Ironwood stumbled to his feet, glaring at Hulk's shrinking body. "It's done..."

Ozpin limped toward Glynda and put his hand on her shoulder. "Glynda...you did the right thing. He would have killed us and many others if you didn't stop him." A tear rolled down her cheek for a man who seemed like he could have been a great person.

"I've never thought I'd serve as executioner..."

Ozpin looked down at her, full of sorrow, "GLynda, I-,"

"But no, I didn't do the right thing," Glynda said filling rage. Her fist smashed into Ironwood's face. "Because of you, AN INNOCENT SOUL IS DEAD," Glynda sceamed. "Maybe Qrow was right about you..."

"That man is insane," Ironwood said dismissing her with a jerk of his head. "You knew how dangerous Banner was. If it wasn't for me, more lives would be at stake."

Ozpin interrupted before it got drastic, "This is not the time to fight each other!" He got in-between the ex-lovers. "What does Qrow have to do with anything? Can we get over this disaster?" Ozpin asked making them both feel guilty. "Ironwood, you come to Beacon uninvited, ask to speak with Banner promising you won't do anything and then get him killed. What were you trying to do?" All Ironwood could do it look at the ground.

"Tell us now, James," Glynda said. "Or was almost getting us killed all for nothing?

He looked up at Glynda, grinding his teeth. "I did it to protect the people-,"

"James, don't lie. You only came here to put down the man who bested your army," Ozpin said. "Now an innocent man is dead because of you," Ozpin waved toward Banner's body to find it was gone. "WHERE IS HE?" Ozpin screamed as they heard the elevator in the background.

Banner had to escape. He couldn't let himself hurt another soul. When the elevator door opened on ground level, he bolted. It was very dark outside, so he couldn't see where he was going. He ran across the schools grounds until he almost fell off Beacon Cliff. He turned to find Ozpin, Glynda, and Ironwood with their weapons ready.

"NO! Stay away from me. I don't want to lose control again," Banner said as he started to back up against the edge of the cliff.

"Mr. Banner...please calm down," Ozpin said.

"STAY BACK." Bruce held out his arms. "You've seen how powerful the Hulk is. I barely stopped him from killing you guys," Banner said with tears coming out of his eyes.

"You don't have to worry about that," Ironwood said. A flash of light shot into everyone's sight. Banner flew off the cliff, a new bullet hole between his eyes...

"BANNER," Ozpin screamed. He ran to the cliff and looked over. All he saw was Hulk starring into his eyes as he fell into the Emerald Forest. "You MONSTER," Ozpin turned to hit Ironwood in the face with his cane. James fell with the wind knocking out of him.

"What happened?" Glynda asked. Ozpin turned to her, confirming her worst suspensions.

"Banner is...dead. He was devoured by a pack of Beowolves as soon as the body hit the ground."

Glynda looked toward the bottom of the cliff, "No..."

Ironwood stood and dusted himself off. "My work here, is done."

"Curse you, James," Ozpin said as his once respectable friend walked away.

"You should be thanking me." Ironwood headed toward the airship that brought him to Beacon.

"The real monster here, was you!" Glynda almost screamed. Ironwood turned to say something, and then turned back.

"He's still alive, Glynda," Ozpin said.

"Alive?" she exclaimed. "But you said-,"

"Bruce Banner is gone. For now, there is the Hulk who is roaming the forest." Ozpin looked into the sky full of stars. "The Hulk saved him. Now they're deep within the Emerald Forest."

"But that's where Initiation will be..."

"We don't have much time then." Ozpin headed back to the Beacon tower.

Glynda followed closely. "Ozpin, what about the students, will they be safe with him there?"

"Well, we just tell them that there some extremely powerful Grimm in the forest," Ozpin shrugged. They entered the office and Glynda made repairs.

"Ozpin, if three of the best Huntsmen couldn't take down Banner, how can you expect first year students to survive against him?"

Ozpin sat down at his desk, realizing how much he had been through. He had bruises and cuts all over his body. Thank goodness for aura. "Glynda, I have complete faith in Banner that he won't attack any students. Ironwood agitated the beast. If the students don't mess with Banner, they won't have a problem. The Hulk doesn't seem like a being to kill innocent children."

"Oh, OZPIN, I hope you know what you're doing. Because Initiation starts now," Glynda stormed out knowing the Headmaster was fine risking the lives of children.
