I don't own the Incredible Hulk, this is a fan fiction only.
As the cell doors slammed shut they all sat around and decided to talk about their past. Getting to know each other could helped them come up with ways to better fight. Bruce being one of the large ones present decided to go last.
The gray skinned man was first. "My name is Hiroshim and you will now the truth of my past. I was once a member of the shadow priesthood. Once the other priest decided to declare the Red King the Sakaarson I disagreed due to the way he was towards life. He considers life his toy and cares not for the suffering of others if it is fun for him. "
" I told them the Sakaarson was a savior to all the people of our world, and when I was asked to vote my support of the Red King I declined publicly. I was stripped of position and all that I owned and now referred to as the shameless one by the people that were my fellow priests. "
The red skinned man was next." I am Laveen Vess and you shall know the truth of my past. I was once a general in the service of the Red King. I became a slave after I joined the resistance after my king ordered me to execute an entire village simply because he was bored. "
The android was next," I am Citron and you shall know my truth as well. I was made by the Red King as the prototype for his death's head guards. Since I outlived my usefulness I was to be turned into scrap. Using the machines in the lab I became self aware and so I tried to escape to save myself. I failed to notice the disk I still wear and I was captured. The Red King felt that it would be amusing to him see me fight in the Arena. "
The red skinned woman was next and she was brief." I am Eleora Vann and this is my truth. My father was once a governor but seeing his people suffer he made the resistance to dethrone the tyrant the one we are force to call the Red King. I was thrown in here to demoralize the troops and cause the resistance to lose the will to fight. "
Miek flat out refused to say anything more than to say since he did not have a hive, he had no life history to share. He did tell them to natives a hive was more than a group it was a family and thus the reason every native was loyal to there hive. It was family, history, and role in life all in one.
The stone man spoke next, "I am Korkus and my people were conquers of world. If we needed something we took it, until unfortunately landed on that green planet third from their sun. Had I known this would happen I would have avoided that world all together. We captured a native for study, but the native was not alone and was not as helpless as we believed. He broke the stone that made our bodies like it was nothing more than glass. "
" We fought with everything we had, in the end we were badly injured and so we escaped through a portal. Then we landed here and that was the last I saw of my brothers. That is until I saw the Hulk beat my brothers into gravel. I know why you did it Hulk, and hold no grudge against you. In fact I honor you for your superior strength and brutality. "
Bruce found those last words hurtful and sad to hear. It seems no matter where he was people will always consider him nothing but a monster." I am called the Hulk by the people who fear or hate me. By the people who think of me as nothing more than a monster. I too will share my story and may it let you see my truth. "
He walked into the center of the group." I was not always as you see me. I was once a man of Medicine and Science. My name is Bruce Banner and I became this way trying to save my friend from being bombarded by energy from an experiment that went horribly wrong. For decades my personality was split in two due to the pain I endured. I should have died but I would never take the easy way out. I looked for a cure for years thinking my condition an illness. "
" Years later I found out that the experiment was not an accident at all. Our experiment was to make a reactor that would give our world an alternative energy source. The military and government wanted to turn it into a weapon and through their sabotage caused the reactor to explode and make me the way you see me now. If you wish to continue to treat me as a monster then do so, it will be nothing everyone has done to me before. "
The other could not help but to feel bad for him, he had no choice in becoming what he did. The only choice was to abandon his friend, and that was simply not an acceptable choice for anyone of them. " With the sharing of our stories we are warbound. We might not have a family before but now we are family to each other."
"He shall face death and stand his ground. He will unite all the people of Sakaar and through him they will find peace. Bruce you are doing something that you are not even aware off and that frightens me like never before. " Hiroshim still had to observe him more to find out if he was truly the Sakaarson.
Each fell asleep by the wall of the cell till one guard came running in with his wife in great pain." I know you owe me nothing and I have treated you as an animal. I heard your story and with what I make as a guard I can't afford a healer. Please I beg you look at my wife and try to tell me what is wrong with her. "
Bruce called for Citron and asked if he had ultrasound scanning capabilities. The android told him he did." Very well Citron scan this woman, but please do so with a low power setting. After you are done please draw an image of her lower abdomen. " Citron did as requested. When Bruce saw the drawing he could not help but to laugh.
" Yes, this proves to mee that you are in for a long period of pain and emotional hardship. This woman will live but at times she will feel that she wished she didn't. I am sorry to tell you, but her condition is nearly over and I have some bad news. "
The guard looked at him with tears in his eyes." however this is not an occasion to cry. Your wife is pregnant with triplets. The pain she is feeling is her body trying to birth your children. Instead of standing there give me some towels and some hot water. I will help your wife with this painful task. Worry not, I know exactly what to do in this situation. "
The guard did as he asked and saw as the supposed green monster helped his wife deliver three healthy baby girls. The guard had a few friends help him take his wife and children home. The woman thanked him for making sure her children were born safe." Just do me a favor, treat those kids with love and keep a firm hand when disciple is called for and I call that payment enough. Congratulations to both of you on being parents to three beautiful baby girls. "
The others could not believe what they saw, the Hulk was being so gentle that it was almost as if the one in the arena was nothing more than an illusion." He shall restore life to Sakaar. " Hiroshim said as he went back to sleep.
The time between fights seemed to have been prolonged. The real trouble was that more and more sick or people needing medical advice showed up to ask the Hulk for medical advice. Laveen even joked that maybe they should give him a small supply closet with medical supplies and a nurses uniform to Eleora then maybe the place would look more like a clinic and less of a prison cell.
Eleora was quick to mention that maybe since the Hulk had not made any attempts to woe her, then maybe the one in the nurse uniform should be Laveen and not herself. Bruce put a stop to it and told them both he was one hundred percent heterosexual. He simply had no time to think of romance when he had so many things going at the same time.
Hiroshim only said that he should consider it at least once in a while, "You only live once Bruce, the divine creator will show you sings of a woman that is meant for you. You still have to pay attention." The Red King was furious that even with the humiliation he caused the green monster he was still gaining followers.
The thing that made him find the most brutal opponents was when his own guards began to whisper of the supposed green monster doing so much for the people and even some guards saying that the Hulk was the real Sakaarson. 'I have to eliminate the green monster before the people realize that I am not the Sakaarson. I will not lose my throne to some outer space monster, no matter how much of that stupid prophecy he fulfills.'
The day of the next round of fighting finally came. The group was in excellent health thanks to Bruce taking such good care of them. "A here is the green monster. Champion of the last round at our arena and savior of his fellow gladiators." The announcer got a harsh glare by the Red King.
"How can we give such a worthy gladiator a challenge worthy of such might. He even withstood the mighty attack from our own Red King. I know how about he have them fight some of the most dangerous machines in all of Sakaar. Bring out the Wilderbots. "
There was not five or even ten Wilderbots, but dozens of them. It was clear to Bruce that the Red King had no intention of giving them a chance to win. He knew that the red man wanted him dead no matter how much he had to rig the fights.
Bruce decided to take the initiative and told them to evade and to help each other. Eleora was about to ask what he was going to do when she saw him split a robot in half with his bare hands. 'So that is the idea, distract them so that he can kill them. You won't hear me complain about the lack of grease sprayed on my face.'
In a matter of minutes the opponents were reduced to scrap piles. That is when the Red King gave the announcer the signal to bring in the next and final opponent for the round. "Seems I have yet to offer a worthy challenge to the green monster we know as the Hulk. In a way to apologize for this I call in the worst, most Savage of the Wilderbots. This one needs no introduction, I give you the King of the Wilderbots."
Miek looked at the giant monstrous robot come out of the ground gate and was shivering in complete fear. "You can't fight this Houlku. This is the egg breaker. We must escape if we are to survive." Laveen looked at the confused look on Bruce's face. "It is called the egg breaker because of it's propensity to eat young native hatchlings."
The idea of killing children was something Bruce always hated the most. He went into an absolute rage as he ran towards the giant serpentine looking robot evading the lasers it fired from his head. He finally reached it and jumped up and was quickly swallowed by the egg breaker.
"So much for the mighty Sakaarson. I guess I had nothing to worry about after all. "The Red King relaxed thinking that the green monster was not going to be a threat to his rule anymore. The others could not believe that he was dead. Hiroshim, Miek, and Korkus looked sadder than most.
When they were getting ready to attack the machine to avenge their friend. The machine began to act a little funny and then a hole began to open from the top of his neck and a green fist was seen punching his way out of the egg breaker. Taking hold of the main part that provided the thing it's structural support he jumped down and he tore the egg breaker in half.
Miek took one of the eyes that fell down as the scraps began to littler the arena floor. The Red King was beyond furious that he had failed to destroy the green monster and instead he saw in shock as the crowd began to openly call him the Sakaarson as they cheered his victory.
'If I can't discredit him by making him lose, maybe I can discredit him by making him seem like a coward. I will have to use my shadow for this, but no sacrifice is out of the question to keep my rule of the world. ' The group was allowed to enter the cell once again and they looked surprised by his actions.
"One more fight and we will be free. I know that we will win as long as we have Hulk with us. " Eleora did not want to take a risk, she had too many things left to do and many goals she still wished to accomplish.
The grey skinned armored woman that Bruce saw before came to the cell and demanded that she be allowed to speak with the Hulk. The guards didn't want to disrupt his sleep, but they knew they could not disobey the lieutenant and live. They opened the cell and watched as the Hulk was already by the door. Hiroshim knew that something was going to happen when he saw her.
"Hulk, come I need to speak with you. " Bruce did not like the tone of her voice and flatly refused to follow her. Caiera saw that he might consider her words rude so she asked again and said please. Hulk followed her to what looked like a giant metal forge.
