"So, girls," Banner said as he sat down at team Ruby's table for lunch breaking the ice, "Is there anything special you like doing on the weekends?"

"Well, we could go to Vale. I need to do some shopping," Weiss said.

"Don't you always?" Blake said making Weiss glare.

"Sounds like fun," Ruby grinned and put her arms in the air.

"Banner?" Yang said abruptly. All of them turned to face her.

"Yes, Yang, is something wrong?" Banner asked nervously.

"I've never really seen you fight. Just that one time with Weiss and the Boarbatusk," Yang said. Banner's heart rate started to race.

"What are you trying to say?" Weiss asked Yang. Yang looked up with red eyes.

"It feels like you're hiding something from me! All of you," Yang yelled at them.

It was true. Banner seldom talked to Yang and only barely to the other three girls.

Banner took a deep breath. "Can we talk privately?" he asked her. Yang nodded and got up leave.

"Banner," Blake hissed. "Is this a good time to tell her?"

"She deserves to know," Banner said as he followed after Yang.

"Should we come with you?" Weiss asked getting up.

"No, Weiss. I feel like she just wants to talk to me," Banner said.

Banner followed Yang to gym. She was letting loose on a punching bag that looked like Grimm. She stopped and looked over to Banner. Her eyes were still blood red.

"You wanted to talk. What are you hiding from me?" she said as she took deep breaths.

"I'm a little hesitant to tell you in your state right now," Banner said infuriating her.

"Banner! Stop avoiding my question," she screamed as she pushed him.

"Yang, you need to stop," Banner said as he stumbled back.

"Make me!" she said as put her hands up. Banner quickly backed up and held out his arms.

"Yang, please don't! You wouldn't like me when I'm angry," he said backing up against a wall.

"You don't know anything about anger!" Yang screamed as she threw a punch at his face. It connected sending his head deep into the wall. She pulled back her fist covered in blood and broken bone. Banner's body started to twitch.

"Run," Banner squeaked as his body started to shake rapidly. Yang backed up in horror witnessing the gruesome scene. Banner kneeled down as he began to transform. He started to grow, ripping his shirt along his spine as he gained more muscle. His shoes tore in half as his giant green feet pressed in the ground. He roared in pain as his skin turned green and muscle expanded. Banner felt a surplus of rage and adrenaline. His eyes were full of pain and bloodlust. Yang braced herself for the worst.

"Hulk… REMEMBER YOU!"


Ozpin sat at his desk and took a sip from his mug.

"Ozpin, are you listening?" Glynda asked bring him back to reality.

"Sorry, Glynda, I got distracted. Go ahead," he said nodding his head toward her.

"Let me repeat myself. I feel as if Jaune Arc is still…not ready for this school," she told him.

"What makes you say that?" Ozpin asked.

"It's been days and he still hasn't improved," Glynda said.

"Let him grow. He'll be a fine Huntsman," Ozpin said taking another sip.

"In other news, Banner is improving tremendously," Glynda said smiling a bit.

"Oh, what are you saying exactly?" Ozpin asked.

"I think he's ready to try combat," she said firmly.

"What if he loses it?" Ozpin asked.

"I may have a solution," she said put a light blue crystal on his desk.

"Ice Dust?" Ozpin questioned as he picked up the crystal. He examined it closely.

"I have a theory," Glynda said as Ozpin leaned in closer. "If we could freeze his nerves, he wouldn't get as angry and might be able to control himself," Glynda said as Ozpin nodded. "Imagine what a great Huntsman he could be with that power, Ozpin. We would be able to keep the peace," she said.

"Glynda…that would be great. But we've seen the Hulk. He is very dangerous and not even Banner knows how to control him," Ozpin said making her frown.

"You're right, Ozpin. I just thought if we had Banner's power we could stop whatever was out there."

"I know. I would love nothing more than for our students not to have to risk their lives fighting Grimm," Ozpin told her.

"Ozpin, I would…" she was interrupted by a huge roar that was heard through out Beacon.

"Where's Banner?" Ozpin yelled at Glynda as she frantically swiped her tablet.

"Engaging Miss Xiao Long…in the gym," she said in horror.

"Everyone, quickly evacuate the building," Ozpin yelled into a microphone.


Yang fought back as hard as she could. She quickly slammed her fists together. Light yellow flames covered her body. She shot behind herself, speeding toward Hulk. She threw punches in quick succession. He stumbled back from her assault as teeth flew out of his mouth.

"Come on!" Yang screamed as she spun in the air and kicked his throat. He quickly grabbed her leg and threw her toward a wall. She bounced off the wall before Hulk buried his fist in it.

"LITTLE GIRL, STOP RUNNING," he roared as he pulled out a chunk of concrete from the wall.

The concrete slab flew toward Yang. She kicked it, breaking it into a million little pieces. Hulk grabbed Yang's face and slammed it into the flooring. He lifted her up by her waist.

"Let go of me," Yang screamed as she frantically punched and kicked his hand.

Hulk head-butted Yang, sending her flying. Yang recovered and landed on her feet. She looked toward Hulk and began to unload Ember Celica onto him. Hulk slowly walked toward Yang as she kept firing at him. Every one of his footsteps dug into the ground.

"Oh shoot," Yang said as she ran out of shells. Hulk grabbed the floor and pulled it up. A small earthquake was sent toward Yang. Yang stumbled back as Hulk charged toward her. He got close, and clapped right in front of her body.

"Ahhh," Yang screamed as she felt her ribs and spine begin to crack. Her eyes widened revealing her eyes becoming a deeper red. Her body was engulfed in more flames.

"Let's try that again," Yang yelled as her fist exploded into Hulk's face. He was sent flying into a wall.

"Enough," Glynda said as she burst though the gym doors. She raised her wand. Hulk was surrounded by purple dust, unable to move. His struggling began breaking the floor.

"Hulk...is strongest…there is," Hulk choked. Sweat began to form on Glynda's forehead as she held Hulk down.

"Yang Xiao Long," Ozpin yelled behind her, "What have you done?" he yelled as Hulk began to stand.

"Ozpin, now is not the time," Glynda yelled at them as she gripped her wand tighter.

"PUNY HUMANS," Hulk roared as he broke free and punched Glynda.

"Glynda," Ozpin yelled as he jumped in the air, catching her. Glynda's aura was completely drained as she lay unconscious in Ozpin's arms.

"HULK THE STRONGEST," Hulk roared as he pounded the floor in triumph. Ozpin looked up toward him, glaring.

"Yang," Ozpin said getting her attention. "Protect, Glynda," he said as he walked toward Hulk.

"Puny man…HULK SMASH YOU," Hulk roared as he threw his fist down on Ozpin who quickly raised his cane which took the impact. Hulk stumbled back as he held his hand in pain.

"Banner…I have to stop you," Ozpin said disappointed. Ozpin quickly whacked Hulk's knee, breaking it.

Hulk screamed in pain throwing a backhand. Ozpin quickly evaded and stabbed Hulk in the ribs. Ozpin pulled out his cane and jumped on Hulk's back. He swung his cane and Hulk's crashed to the ground.

Yang watched Ozpin easily evade all of Hulk's anger filled blows. But, Hulk was slowly giving Ozpin a hard time. Yang decided that he needed help. She quickly got out her scroll and sent messages to her team. Yang put Glynda in a safe place, and then jumped into the fight.

"Get out of here," Ozpin yelled as he hit his cane into Hulk's stomach.

"No," Yang yelled as she jumped in the air. She shot behind herself, giving more power to her kick that sent Hulk sprawling.

Hulk came back and punched Yang into the ground as he kicked Ozpin across the room. Ozpin looked up to get bombarded with blows. Hulk punched Ozpin into a wall, grabbed his head and threw Ozpin behind him across the room. Ozpin lay still.

Ozpin woke hanging from Hulk's hand by one leg. Hulk slammed him on the ground over and over again. Each impact sent Ozpin into the ground deeper. Ozpin fell on the ground as Hulk let go. Hulk grabbed Ozpin by the throat as he held his fist in the air.

"HULK," Ruby yelled from behind him with Blake and Weiss at her side. Hulk let go of Ozpin who was rapidly losing blood.

"Ruby, run," Ozpin said as he raised his hand toward her. Hulk walked toward Ruby and looked down at her.

"Ruby?" Hulk asked, holding out his hand. Tears began to form in her glinting, sliver eyes.

"Please, Hulk. Please stop," Ruby said as she laid her head in Hulk's gigantic hand.

The green giant hung his head in apparent shame. He drew a huge, slow, measured breath. "Hulk, sorry. Ruby Hulk's friend?" he asked. Ruby nodded as tears dripped off her face.

"Okay, Hulk. Can you be calm?" Ruby asked looking him straight in his green eyes. He was about to nod, until he saw Weiss grab her weapon too fast. Hulk quickly pushed Ruby out of the way and swung at Blake and Weiss.

Weiss used a glyph to save her and Blake from the tremendous blow.

"Hulk, remember you too," Hulk yelled at them.

"Hulk, NO!" Ruby said as she got in front of him waving her hands.

"Ruby, you too?" Hulk asked hurt.

"Please, don't hurt my friends," Ruby said hugging him.

Ice covered Hulks legs as Blake used Gambol Shroud and tied up his arms.

"Ruby," Yang screamed as she threw a light blue crystal in Hulk's face. Ruby flipped in the air and shot it. The crystal exploded leaving the air around Hulk's mouth and nose light blue. Hulk inhaled all of it and had a massive brain freeze. He torn Gambol Shroud off his arms and broke the ice around his legs. He kneeled and coughed deeply. He looked up. His eyes were light blue and the veins in his neck matched them.

Hulk stood up and looked around scared. "What Hulk Do?" he asked himself. He turned and looked into Ruby's fearful eyes."Hulk sorry," he said before jumping out of the building into Vale.
