BOOM!
The sound of an explosion died down waking Bruce from his peaceful sleep. "SUN?" he yelled looking around the burning warehouse. Ceiling collapsed and blocked the only escape right as he reached for the door, "JESUS!" Sweat drenched Bruce's clothes from the surge of heat in the small area. His gaze locked on stairs leading to the ceiling. The only feasible escape left! His right foot sizzled as it touched the iron steps. Banner fell to the ground and grabbed his foot that exposed bone in the burned off sole. There was no way Bruce was going to get out of this situation as puny Banner...
"RAHHHHH," Banner roared. He foot began to grow new muscle and reform as he stood to his feet to transform.
"SMA-," A huge chunk of wood in flames hit Bruce over the head. The burning wood crushed against his back, pinning Bruce to the ever burning flooring. A burning pain in his wrist woke Bruce up from the concussion. "Whaaa," he looked to find a large pole on fire had almost tore off his left hand from the impalement in his wrist. His throat was too hurt to scream anymore; he closed his eyes and awaited for the Hulk to save him.
"SUUUN," Banner heard a familiar female voice scream in pain - Blake. Bruce turned his head, seeing the young Faunus of team Rwby being beaten by a familiar face, Roman Torchwick. Right beside her, laid Sun's body appearing lifeless.
"No one hurts those girls..." Banner closed his eyes, burning with the rest of the warehouse.
"HULK PROTECT FRIENDS!"
The sunset looked stunning as it shinned over Vale's docks. Blake and Sun arrived, ending their rush to get there.
"That could have gone a bit SMOOTHER," Sun panted. He rested his hands on his knees as he caught his breath.
"You were the one who called that one cop a pig!" Blake reminded as she caught her breath.
"I DIDN'T KNOW HE WOULD SHOOT AT US!"
Blake rolled her eyes at the clueless Faunus, "Doesn't matter now." She looked upon the vast dock, "We're here."
"Yeah," Sun nodded. "There's supposed to be a huge shipment of dust delivered by the Schnee Company tonight."
"So, what's the plan?" Blake asked.
"We wait." Sun began climbing up the side of a warehouse.
"Why can't we just get Banner and leave?" Blake crossed her arms in disapproval.
"Two problems," Sun said nervously. He scratched the back of his head as hung from his tail. "Authorities are everywhere. We barely got here without Vale without Atlas cameras seeing us. Speaking of," Sun looked up right as a huge Atlas airship appeared in the sky and headed toward Vale.
"Okay?" Blake asked. "What's the other problem?"
"I kind of don't actually know where...Banner is."
"WHAT?" Blake drew her weapon, "IF YOU BROUGHT HE HER JUST TO GET IN MY PANTS-,"
"I SAID NOT EXACTLY," Sun screamed as he flipped to his feet and held up his hands.
"You've got ten seconds," Blake growled feeling like a fool.
"I didn't! Listen, every couple of hours Banner changes warehouses just in-case anyone checks them." Sun said pulling Blake's weapon down with a finger. "As you can see," Sun said waving an arm to the many warehouses, "there are at least a couple dozen warehouses. It would take us all night just to search them once. Meaning, he could have switched to a warehouse we already checked."
"Fine." Blake glared at Sun as she climbed on top of a warehouse. Lying down on the roof, Blake scouted the area.
"I got us some food," Sun smiled. He was holding a green apple toward Blake.
"Do you always steal stuff when you feel like it?" Blake asked disappointed. "You're going to give Faunus a bad name."
"The Faunus will have a bad name anyway," Sun shrugged. He quickly tossed the apple at Blake.
"It doesn't have to be that way," Blake sighed in agreement. She caught the apple and a loud crunches came from her bites.
"Hey," Sun said sitting down next to her. "Is something wrong, besides not being able to find this Banner guy?"
"Do you really want to know?" Blake asked. "It's a long story..."
"I mean, we have time to spare." Sun took a bite out of his apple and scooted closer to Blake, trying to comfort her the best he could.
"I really don't want to find the White Fang," Blake said holding back a tear. "There's a little part of me that's hoping that the White Fang aren't criminals."
"Me too," Sun nodded. "I don't always agree with what they do. But if you still believe there is some good left in them, I'll believe as well."
Wind blasted them in the face as a huge airship landed in the center of the docking bay.
"Oh, no." Blake's heart skipped a beat.
Members of the White Fang disembarked onto the docks.
Tears began to roll down Blake's face. "I think I always knew." Blake wiping the tears away as Gambol Shroud formed in her hand.
"Don't worry!" Sun put a hand on Blake's shoulder. "Let's go see why they're here!" He showed his huge smile as he leaned against his staff.
"Y-Yeah," Blake nodded. She couldn't save these Faunus, but hopefully ones in the future!
"All we need to stop them and save Banner," Sun said forming a plan. "If we split up we could search warehouses without being caught-,"
"Wait," Blake said putting her hand against Sun's mouth, "Look!" A man in a white suit and cane came out of the airship with a cigar. "The White Fang would never work with a human." Had Adam gone so low that he would even work with the Humans he hated so much?
"Hold on a sec," Sun said squinting at the man. "No way…,"
"What is it?"
"That's the legendary criminal – Roman Torchwick," Sun said in awe. "Never knew I'd get to meet him," he smirked.
Roman took a step back and shot straight into the air, "COME ON! I don't have all day." All the White Fang gathered dust and crystals even faster.
"I'm stopping whatever this is," Blake said filling with hatred for the Fang. She unsheathed Gambol Shroud and leaped off the rooftop, aiming at Roman.
"Hold up!" Sun grabbed Blake's hips and pulled her back onto the roof.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"First, you need to chill out a bit," Sun said waving his finger in Blake's face.
"We're wasting time," Blake hissed.
"Second, look," Sun said pointing to the sky. Blake looked to find another aircraft with a red White Fang symbol on its side. It landed and unloaded dozens more Fang grunts and soldiers.
"Weren't they just supposed to steal dust?" Blake asked. "It doesn't make sense why that would need so much man power." She looked to Sun, "Are you the only one that knows Banner is here?"
Sun shrugged, "That's what I want to know too."
"WHO ARE YOU?" Someone screamed behind the two Faunus.
Blake and Sun turned to find many White Fang soldiers on their roof with guns aimed.
Sun tilted his head and popped his neck, "Let's get this show on the road!"
A Fang member walked up Roman, "Sir, at this rate..." she looked at her clipboard, "...we won't leave until the morning."
"And what time were we supposed to be out of here?" Roman asked leaning on his cane. He took deep, heavy breaths closing his eyes
"5 minutes ago," the member informed.
Roman's eyes quickly opened as his cane smashed into the young Faunus's face. "NO GOOD, WORTHLESS," Roman yelled slamming the cane over and over, "FAUNUS!" He finally stopped his assault when blood coated his white sleeves. "GET BACK TO WORK," Roman yelled at all the Fang members who had just lost one of their sisters...
Somebody screamed. Roman turned to find several White Fang being kicked off a warehouse. Blake and Sun landed in front of him, weapons ready. Military graded guns aimed at their faces.
"Brothers and sisters of The White Fang," Blake announced. She took off her bow to show she was one of them; a Faunus. "Why are you aiding this scum?"
"She's here? Blake Belladonna? Adam wants your head on a platter," came from the Fang. They lowered their weapons and looked to their employer for the next order.
"I don't know if you've heard or not, kitty cat," Roman smirked.
"What are you talking about?" Blake growled. She was seconds away from shooting this criminal in the face.
"The White Fang and I are going in. We're planning something huge," Roman said with an evil smile. He quickly shot at the ground. Sun and Blake evaded just as the concrete at their feet exploded.
Blake landed on her feet and charged at Roman, "I WILL STOP YOU!" Blake sliced away at Roman who easily deflected the strikes with his cane.
White Fang quickly surrounded Sun. "Sooo, who's attacking first?" he smirked. A White Fang soldier came behind Sun and swung his sword down. The blade caught in Sun's staff, "Nice try." Sun quickly turned and swept the soldier off his feet. Sun spun and swung his staff, knocking five other members to the ground. "EASY THERE," Sun yelled as he flipped to avoid oncoming gunfire. Sun broke his staff into their nun-chuck form. He threw a nun chuck at the and it ricocheted . It bounced of the gunman's head and into Sun's hand as he rolled. Sun spun on his back as he hit other White Fang in their knees.
"Hey," Roman smirked as he blocked more and more of Blake's attacks, "You're not too bad. For a girl!"
"Bastard..." No matter what Blake did, Roman was one step ahead of her. Roman could almost detect where her next shadow clone was going attack and where her real body was going to be. She used a clone and Adam swung, missing her real body finally! "Got you," she said in victory as she stabbed down on his exposed back. Her blade stopped inched away as something poking her in the stomach.
"Boom." Roman pulled the trigger on his cane and Blake went flying back.
"BLAKE," Sun yelled as she slammed on the ground. "You monster!" Sun ran and flipped and rolled to engage with Roman. Sun swung his nun-chucks furiously as he shot shells into Roman's cane.
"Come on! One Faunus at a time," Roman sighed. He quickly put his cane around the back of Sun's neck.
"WHA-," Blake said right before a knee crashed into his face. Blood dripped down from Sun's nose as he threw a punch in a daze.
Roman caught Sun's arm in a tight grasp, "You've already wasted enough time!" Roman bashed Sun's head with his cane, flipping him onto his back.
"I'M STILL HERE," Blake yelled getting a quick stab into Roman's side.
"AHH," Roman yelled in pain. He recovered and shot at her. Blake used a clone and barely missed the shot that hit some barrels.
The barrels made a huge explosion, blowing up much of a warehouse. Blake watched in horror as the warehouse began to burn. Something hard hit the back of her head.
"AHH!" Blake fell on her face and landed next to an unconscious Sun.
"You two..." Roman growled. He aimed his cane at Blake and Sun. "Any last words?" Faunus circled the three, aiming at Blake and Sun.
"You're an evil, evil man...Why?" Blake asked with tears in her eyes. "Why make the White Fang do this?"
Roman laughed, "I'm making the White Fang do this? No! Their acting own their own free, animal ways!"
Blake was in total disbelief, "W-wha-,"
"Listen, sweetheart," Roman said as he lifted Blake's chin with his cane. "You started this. I could have been out of here quick and easy. But, nooo. Two Faunus had to play hero. Now," his playful attitude died, "you're going to pay."
Blake looked Roman directly in the eyes, "Take your best shot."
"Good idea," Roman smiled. He took a step back and aimed at Blake's chest. "GAH," he let out as Blake's saliva hit his left eye. "BITCH!"
Blake's ears rang as Roman slammed his cane against her skull. She felt the tip of Roman's cane as she laid on the ground.
"HULK PROTECT FRIENDS!"
"Not him again," Roman said as he lowered his cane.
"Banner?" Blake asked filling with hope.
"DOESN'T MATTER," Roman quickly yelled. He aimed his cane back at Blake.
Blake stood up and smiled at Roman and screamed, "GO AHEAD!"
Roman pulled the trigger, "DIE-,"
"SMASH!"
Roman was punted across the entire docking bay and almost into vale. Blake had to cover her face from the gust of wind from the devastating kick. She slowly brought her hands down, seeing the green giant standing in front of her.
"HULK IS STRONGEST THERE IS!" Hulk's voice echoed across all of Vale.
Blake quickly took out her scroll and texted all of her team, "Docking Bay, NOW." She would need them...
Roman slammed against a giant metal container denting it straight down the middle. He fell to the ground on his face, aura-less and on the verge of death.
Several White Fang members helped him to his feet. "Sir, what do we do?" one of the soliders asked.
Roman grabbed his collar and brought him face to face, "Kill them all. NOW!"
The White Fang solider nodded. He looked to all the Fang, "ELIMINATE THEM ALL!"
Dozens of White Fang surrounded Hulk and his two friends. They were all armed with the best military grade weapons. Assault rifles, heavy machine guns and missile launchers were all aimed.
"OPEN FIRE!"
Hulk exposed his front and took the gunfire head on, "YOU ARE WEAK!"
"HULK," Blake screamed as she cloned away with Sun in her arms. They both fell behind cover evading all the bullets flying through the air.
"What the hell is this thing?" a solider asked in fear as they all ceased fire. Hulk stood still, standing in the river of bullet shells unaffected.
"HULK," Blake yelled getting his attention.
"Kitty?"
"Let them have it..." She shed a tear knowing many of her old friends were about to be slaughtered.
Hulk nodded and looked back to the people who were trying...to hurt his friends! "HULK, SMASH!" The entire ground shook from the mighty roar. Hulk brought both his arms back, clapping with all his strength. White Fang flew away as the mighty winds also put out the fires.
"WHAT OUT," a solider screamed. All the White Fang quickly followed and Hulk was doused with gunfire.
Hulk lunged and head-butted a solider into an airship and other Fang members were caught on fire by the explosion. Hulk quickly ripped out a concrete slab and swung and dozens of White Fang were crushed. Something hit the back of his head and covered his back in an explosion.
"Grrrrrrr..." Hulk turned to find more missiles flying toward him. The slab of concrete was quickly turned and used as a shield. But it wasn't enough. THe make shield began to crumble as Hulk began to be pushed back by the barrage of missiles. A group of White Fang were erased as Hulk threw the rest of the shield at them. Other missiles hit Hulk directly in the chest and exploded covering his body in smoke.
"D-did we finally kill him?"
"SMASH PUNY ONES!"
A solider was picked up by a giant green hand and slammed into the ground without hesitation. Remaining White Fang stumbled from the earthquake. A solider was buried deep into the ground from an overhand, eviscerating his whole body. Hulk jumped high in the air and came down like a meteor. The explosion destroyed many of the warehouses and buried many White Fang in concrete. As Hulk stood, his entire back got lit up by mini-gun fire from an airship unloading more White Fang.
"HULK CRUSH METAL SHIP," Hulk yelled as he leapt and grabbed onto the side. He climbed to the top and smashed his fists down.
"WE'RE GOING DOWN," the pilot screamed as the airship came crashing into the ground, exploding and sending debris everywhere. The rest of the White Fang surrounded the rubble Hulk was buried in.
"GAMMA TSUNAMI," they all heard from underneath them. Hulk burst out of the rubble and planted his fists in the ground. He lifted up with all his strength. The earth itself came up and swept the White Fang everywhere.
Hulk pounded the ground in triumph, "HULK WIN!"
"Hulk...?" he heard Blake asked worried that he lost control. "Thank you for saving us. But you need to calm down," Blake smiled weakly. She came up to his side and held onto his giant green hand.
"Kitty?" Hulk asked as he kneeled to look Blake face to face.
"Yes," Blake nodded. She placed a hand on his face.
"Hey, big guy," Sun smiled weakly.
"Friends," Hulk smiled as he remembered Sun's face from Banner's perspective. He took deep breaths calming down. In the corner of Hulk's eye, he saw Roman was aiming at Blake.
"JUST DIE ALREADY!" Roman threw a red crystal at them and shot it. A huge ball of red dust bolted toward Blake and Sun.
"MOVE," Hulk roared pushing Blake and Sun to the ground.
"Hulk, NO," Blake yelled as Hulk charged and grabbed onto the huge red dust ball.
Hulk walked forward slowly as the dust quickly burned his whole body, "HULK…STRONGEST!" He took a step back and began to tear the dust energy in half. A massive explosion covered the entire dock. Roman quickly hid as Blake and Sun found cover. The entire docking bay was on fire and in ruins.
"I need to get out of here," Roman said quickly getting out his scroll. As he typed out his message, something huge landed in front of him. He looked up from the ground to see a big, green figure shaking in anger.
"Hulk," Blake said walking between Hulk and Roman, "Kill…"
"Blake...what are you doing?" Sun asked with his arm still around her. "You can't kill someone!"
"I won't, but he will," Blake said as Hulk walked toward Roman.
"You all think you're so smart," Roman chuckled. "Do you think this will make you a hero?" Roman asked looking at Hulk is disbelief. "Well let me tell you something, Banner! No matter what, people still think you're more of a monster than me!"
"HULK NOT A MONSTER," Hulk roared as he raised his fist in the air. "HULK SMASH LITTLE MAN!" Hulk swung down with all his might.
"NO," They all heard behind them. Hulk's arm stopped inches away from Roman face, breaking the ground. Hulk turned to find her – Ruby.
"Ruby...?" Hulk questioned. He rushed toward her, shaking the ground with every footstep.
"Hulk, it's time to stop," Ruby said looking straight into his green eyes.
"Ruby, who are you…," Penny said coming from Ruby's left. Then Penny saw Hulk..."Combat activated." That was a different voice, almost robotic. Swords quickly came out of her back and stabbed Hulk in the neck and sliced his throat open.
