Space

A-Bomb: (As they travel around the distant planets, he looks at deep space. Finally, he turns to the camera with a worried yet hopeful smile.)

"Hey, Hulkies. We're heading to Sakaar and saving Michael from that big-headed freak."

"I can't believe how far the people of Sakaar have come," She-Hulk said, still excellent at the ship. "This baby has so much power that I can feel the vibration from my feet. Would that be an engine like the RS-25?"

"Time it by twenty, She-Hulk of the Walters family," Korg smiled. "Yes, the Kronans had become Sakaar's top engineers instead of warriors. Our King, let us show our true selves."

Jen still felt terrible about how she had treated her little cousin. She had already promised to treat him and Lyra like the family they needed.

"King Skaar had excellent teachers to steer him the right way," Elleo stated as she crossed her arms. "Unlike you fools."

Red growled in annoyance, "Watch it, lady."

Hulk mentally sighed, knowing where this argument was about to head. He understands cause these are Skaar's teachers and the closest thing to family while on Sakaar. "I understand that you are upset-"

"UPSET?!" No-Name interrupted with a loud screech. "You treat our little King like a mindless animal! You're no different than your enemy, the Leader! You brought your war onto Skaar!"

Hulk:

"The truth hurts, but No-Name is right. Ever since Michael came, I should've been focusing on him, like with Rick's training. But I promise I will make it right for him and Lyra."

"Generals, enough," Hiroim interrupted while meditating. "Now isn't the time for war against the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. Now is the time to wage war against this Leader and make him pay. Our King will need his father and family to save him."

"Fine," Elloe growled, then walked away with No-Name behind her.

"Please forgive General Elloe," Hiriom apologized with a friendly smile. "Even with her soon becoming a mother, she still can't hold the warrior's spirit. She- well, all of us care about our young King."

"I can see that," Hulk stated. Again, he knew this was coming because these people were Skaar's teachers/caregivers. Unlike them, they treated Skaar with respect. He hoped that he and his team could be ready for this battle. "So, any word on Skaar or Leader from your people?"

"I'm afraid not, Hulk," Korg replied with his arms crossed. "But don't fear. We would be on Sakaar within a day."

"Good. Thank you."

Hiriom bowed, "Of course. Anything for our Sakaarson. If it weren't for him, Sakaar still would've been a war-torn place for us. Thank you for his creation."

"Um, thanks, I guess," Hulk stated. "But thank you all for caring and raising my son. I think if it weren't for you all, Skaar would've been-"

"A monster."

"A monster? He would never-"

"On Sakaar, only two types of beings can rule the people: a World Breaker or a Sakaarson. If the Leader gains control of the King and turns him into a World Breaker, we may need a Sakaarson to stop him. Perhaps that person could be you, Hulk."

The Shadow Priest looked down, filled with shame and pain. Skaar wasn't just his student; he was part of their family and Hive. Now, he was asking the Incredible Hulk—Skaar's father—to stop him before the Leader used Skaar to destroy their world and potentially the entire universe.

Hulk's right hand started to shake. This causes the strongest one to look at his hand and then grab it. He knows this fight between Michael will be worse than any fight in his life. It happens when he is about to fight Lyra, too, but this is worse. It almost feels like he is becoming like him! The only monster that even the Incredible Hulk is afraid of. He needs to get away from here. "Hey, I am going to lie down for a bit. Let me know when we get on Sakaar."

Everyone exchanged knowing glances as they allowed Hulk to proceed with his tasks, but She-Hulk sensed an underlying tension in her cousin. There was a heaviness in the air, a flicker of something amiss that only she seemed to notice.

She-Hulk:

"Hulk, well, Bruce didn't have the most incredible childhood. Being raised by that monster with his mom was a struggle and pain. Hulk must be feeling like him once he faces Skaar. I hope Hulk knows what he will do against his son."

~One week later~

Planet Sakaar
Birthplace of Skaar

The Hulks and Warbounds have landed their stone ship on the lands of Wukar. As they disembark, they are greeted by a female human and some Warbound members. Upon closer inspection, the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. noticed that she also had eyes and tattoos similar to those of a Shadow Person.

"Generals, nice to meet you all again," the female human greeted.

"Save the greeting for later, Katherine," Elloe said. "We've got a King to save."

"Yes, ma'am." She then looked at the Hulks. "I take it you guys are the Agents of S.M.A.S.H?"

"Um, yeah," Hulk replied. "I am Hulk. That's A-Bomb, She-Hulk, and Red Hulk."

"Well, nice to meet you all."

"Wait a minute," A-Bomb looked at Kate, then at Hiroim, then back at Kate. "How can you be a human and a Shadow Person?"

"I'm a human who has mutated with Shadow Person traits," she explained. "I was taken from Earth as a small child and sold by a Sakaar enslaver who was a scientist. They experimented with DNA, infusing mine with that of a Shadow Person, which caused my mutation."

Hulk growled in a low voice. He remembers how the Red King's scientists' experiments on children. The Red King approves of these experiments because he wants the power of the Oldstrong from a 'loyal' Shadow Person. However, neither of the Shadow People refused to give him their children/babies, so Red King used the experiment on sold prisoners and infused them with the Power of Queen Caiera, the Oldstrong.

Hulk:

"And the second donor of Skaar exemplifies his power and appearance. She is a strong figure in Sakaar's history, suppressing Galactus's hunger for a thousand years. I wish I had met her and Jarella, Lyra's second donor and Queen of K'ai. Who also had a powerful history in the galaxy."

"So, how are we going to find Skaar?" A-Bomb asked.

"Don't worry. We've had spies watching the Leader since our King left and came back," Kate said, starting to inform everyone about the Leader's activities during his stay in Sakaar.

"The mines of Maw?" Korg repeated in worry.

Kate nodded, "We believe the Leader is trying to create more obedience disks for Earth's people. Our spies even saw the Death Guards transporting it onto his ship."

Elloe crossed her arms. "That makes sense. King Skaar had created a counterattack to the disks now."

"Then it must be for Earth," Red said with crossed arms.

"Agree, but I am more worried about why Leader took Skaar there," Hiroim stated.

The ruins of Caiera's Chambers of Trails are located in the Steppes, the only place on the planet with everlasting plant life. According to legend, when the Spike was infecting the world, the Oldstrong Queen wielded the full power of the Oldstrong as a source of sustenance to combat the murderous bugs. She fought so fiercely that her blood was shed in the process. In saving her planet, she also infused the land with her blood, which gave rise to the enduring plant life that thrives there today.

"They were inside for nearly five hours, and when they finally emerged, King Skaar was shrouded in a cloak. Kate's expression turned anxious as she looked at High Priest Hiriom. "Do you think…?"

However, before she could continue her sentence, a black Native hurried toward them. "Generals! Generals!" He shouted, then bowed towards them. "Gunn has come with news!"

"Yes? What news do you have?" Miek asked.

"Yes! The citizens are heading inside the old Coliseum. The terrible horns started to sound. And Primus Vand shouts that our King is in the Coliseum."

Everyone's eyes widened in horror and concern when the Leader took the young Hulk to that place. However, that horror and worry quickly transformed into rage for the Hulk. How dare that monster take his son back there! More importantly, they now knew where to find and rescue Skaar.

"That ssssnake has taken our Little King back to the Coliseum!" No-Name shouted in anger.

Hulk nodded, "Then that's where we need to go. Let's move it, everyone!"

The group nodded in agreement, and with the guidance of the Warbound, they led Hulk and his Agents of S.M.A.S.H. to the capital of Sakaar: Crown City.

~Crown City~

The crowd roared, and the blazing horns could be heard. The people were shouting, 'King Skaar! King Skaar! King Skaar!'

"At least we know where the civilians are now, huh?" A-Bomb stated.

The group of Hulks and Warbound was observed making their way toward a previously imposing greenhouse that had unfortunately returned to its state of horror. Hulk observed his son's transformation of the space and became aware of its tumultuous history, causing him some unease. Remembering, Skaar and his allies fought tirelessly to protect themselves and to create a vibrant and flourishing garden in this once-terrifying location.

"What is the meaning of this, soldier?" Elloe ordered.

The soldiers bowed and greeted, "Lady Elloe, we are glad to have you all back."

"I said, what's the meaning of this? Why are the people in the Great Arena?"

"King Skaar is allowing the public to witness his ultimate fight against the Incredible Hulk from Earth, my Lady. And I see you have brought him and his Agents of S.M.A.S.H."

Hulk growled, "Where is the Leader?"

"Um, he should be in the royal bundle, ready to watch the match."

"And what about Skaar?"

"Our King is waiting for his opponent in the cage. The others and I don't know why, but who am I to question my King?"

'Skaar hates cages,' Hulk remembers Skaar saying that one time. He balled his fists in anger and was ready to save his son. "Fine. Take us to Skaar!"

"No. Only you, Hulk. Also, the Leader wanted you to wear this for the battle." The guard snapped his finger, signaling the servants to come and bring Sakaaran Battle Armor.

Hulk stared at the armor of his son's people—the gladiator armor used by people who wanted to live during the Red King's reign. Now he would need this armor to save his son, or worse. "Alright."

Before the Agents and Warbounds could disagree, Hulk silently, with one hand, turned to his family and new allies: "Don't worry. I am going to bring him back."

She-Hulk hugged Hulk tightly, tears streaming down her face. Fear gripped her as she looked at her cousin, whose once beautiful emerald hair had turned an unsettling light green. Jen felt overwhelmed with terror.

Hulk hugged Jen back and whispered, "Take care of my kids, Jen."

She nodded, then let him go for his fight.

He released her, donned his armor, and stepped into the Coliseum, offering a reassuring smile to his family as the gate closed behind him. Turning his back on them, he adopted a steely expression and marched to the center of the Coliseum, where weapons were scattered. There, he spotted his enemy sitting on his son's throne. The people of Sakaar cheered excitedly, while the Leader smirked at him maliciously.

"Welcome to Sakaar, Hulks," the Leader greeted. "Where I am, the strongest one there!"

"Couldn't take Earth, so you chose to trick these people?" Hulk questioned with a glare.

"A trick? Why would I betray the people of Sakaar, especially their influential King, to protect them? I would never do such a thing!" The crowd cheered even louder, making the Leader's smirk grow wider. "But let's give the people what they want! Let them see their beloved King: Skaar, the Skaarson!"

The gates opened, and out of the darkness emerged Michael in his Hulk form. However, there were some noticeable changes - he had four new tattoos on his right shoulder, which looked fresh against the Grey Hulk's skin.

Hiroim's eyes widened in horror once he saw his student. "You tattoo him!"

"What does that mean?" She-Hulk asked.

"Skaar is now more powerful than ever," Hulk replied, worried about his son. "He could die if he overuses the Old Strong! Or destroy Sakaar."

"Now on with the show!" Leader smirked evilly at his enemy. 'Let's see what you choose, Hulk. Your life or the life of these alien barbarians! Choose wisely!'

Skaar slowly marches toward Hulk with a blank stare in his eyes. The tip of his blade dragged against the stone ground, creating blue sparks.

Hulk knows he must be cautious when facing his son. This fight is going to be challenging. He is no longer up against the naive Skaar; this is the real Skaar now—a warrior who survives and dominates this brutal world. Skaar nearly defeated him on their first encounter. Hulk needs to approach this fight strategically!

"Skaar, you have to listen to me-"

The ground started to form spikes under Hulk's feet. Hulk jumped out of the way and couldn't believe his eyes.

'Damn it! Even though he used a sword, the Oldstrong allowed him to wield his power!' Hulk grunted in frustration. Now, this was a much bigger problem. Skaar had a greater reach than before! The Oldstrong is a dangerous power, and he almost wished he had brought that rocket board.

The Shadow Person growled, "Our king is the Worldbreaker now."

Miek and No-Name started crying, knowing that a member of their Hive was now a monster.

The crowd erupted with shock and awe as they witnessed their King harness the ancient power of the legendary Queen Caiere. Cheers erupted like thunder, filling the air with electric anticipation. They were on the edge of their seats, hearts racing, ready to see their King take on the Incredible Hulk in an epic showdown!

Hulk growled and turned to the crowd. "I am not here for your enjoyment!" After a moment, he looked to his right and saw matching battle axes. Turning his attention back to his son, he grabbed the axes. 'Time to put those spare matches with Thor to good use!' Hulk knew he didn't want to fight, but needed to confront his son. Hulk clashed the battle axes together, then growled.

Skaar growled in response before charging toward his father.

"Oh, but you're my primal green savage," the Leader grinned wickedly. "Otherwise, the planet would lose its excitement from the big explosion!"

"Explosion?" The Agents looked at each other, not liking the Leader's words.

"Generals! Agents!" Everyone turned to see Kate and two black Native arriving in a transport vehicle.

"What? What is it?" Elloe asked.

"The Leader had placed bombs on the mines of Maw!" Kate shouted in worry.

The Warbound's eyes nearly left their head from that information. "What?!"

"Wait, why is that a bad thing?" A-Bomb asked.

"Because those mines aren't just for creating the Obedience Disk; they are so unstable that they possess the power to destroy the planet," Korg explained.

The Agents of S.M.A.S.H. were in shock and shouted, "What?!"

"We need to hurry," Hiroim said as the rest of the Warbounds hurried onto the vehicle.

"But what about Hulk?" A-Bomb asked him to turn around to see Skaar's sword clashing against Hulk's battle axes.

Hulk groaned then shouted, "Go! I will be fine! Just go!"

Rick and Jen wanted so badly to disagree, but the Red Hulk grabbed their shoulder and gave them an understanding look. "You heard him, troop. We need to move and save this planet. Let's move!"

The two Hulks nodded and then hurried onto the vehicle to save the planet.

~The Maw~

The Agents and Warbounds hurry toward the mines of Maw. It was everything that the people of Sakaar said it was: a big hole in the ground, screaming out fire like it was from Hell itself.

"Find and bring the bombs to me!" Red Hulk ordered.

"Right!" Everyone shouted.

However, before anyone could start looking for the bombs, the Incredible Hulk's nemesis, the Abomination, landed in front of Red and sent him falling with a punch!

"The Abomination," Red Hulk grunted as he rubbed his cheek.

"Greeting, old friend," Abomation greeted as three more villains landed beside him, while Death Guards landed behind the villains.

"Blastaar," A-Bomb growled.

"Annihilus!" She-Hulk stated with rage in her voice.

"Sauron!" Red Hulk glared.

"The Leader didn't want the rest of you Hulks to feel left out, so send us to keep you entertained," Abomination grinned.

"You helped the Leader place the bomb around the mines, didn't you?!" She-Hulk growled, turning on her gauntlets.

"Indeed," Blastaar replied with his fists glowing.

"Well, it's a good thing you creeps have a decision to come!" A-Bomb cracked his knuckles and glared. "I hope you creepers are ready for A-Bomb's knuckle sandwiches!"

However, before the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. and the Warbounds could start the battle, a loud crash on the ground interrupted everyone, creating a slight dust cloud behind the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.

"Sorry for coming late, everyone," a woman said. Once the dust cleared, the agents turned to see a female Red Hulk marching toward them. This Red Hulk had glowing yellow eyes. She wore a black jumpsuit with three silver stripes on each arm, black army boots, and fingerless gloves. A silver belt buckle with the letter 'H' at its center was around her waist. She carried a massive red sword over her shoulder while eating a pizza. "Getting here was a pain."

Once they saw who she was, the Hulks' eyes widened in shock and horror. "Betty!"

"Well, well, look who's back to stir up trouble! It's me, your favorite Red She-Hulk!" she cackled, a devilish grin spreading across her face. With a playful wave, she added, "Hey there, darlings! Ready for some fun?"

Red She-Hulk
The Hellion She-Hulk

(Trouble! Maybe?! I don't know anymore!)

A-Bomb: (rubbing his head from the headache that is forming.)

Red She-Hulk: (She passed A-Bomb two bottles of headache medicine and a bottle of water.)

"Here you go, Ricky."

(Then she left the camera's viewpoint after Ricky took it.)

A-Bomb: (he took the whole medicine and then drank the water.)

"Thank you. First, Skaar vs. Hulk, the bombs, our bad guys, and now we've got the return of Betty as the Red She-Hulk?! Can't we catch a break?! Also, speaking of Betty, whether you're a lover of a superhero, you can bet someone would throw them off a bridge or make them into a weapon, which is Betty's case."

(He then shows the viewers a picture of Betty and Bruce enjoying a picnic, then changes it to a picture of Red She-Hulk trying to stab Hulk.)

"You see, Leader and another big-headed freak named M.O.D.O.K turn our loveable Betty into an-"

She-Hulk: (her arms were crossed, glaring)

"Uncontrollable, violent Hulk that we have ever fought. Even if she weren't more muscular than I, she would still give me a run for my money regarding her melee combat skills. Thanks to that Asgardian sword. And thanks to Red!"

(She massaged her neck, recalling the moment when Red She-Hulk almost strangled her to death with one of Omega Red's whips.)

Red-Hulk: (showing the viewers a picture of Ross eating ice cream with a toddler-sized Betty on a desert military base.)

"Okay, maybe I have screwed up while raising her once my wife's died. I was doing everything possible to be a father and a military man, taking her all over the world while trying to protect her from the danger of it. Screw up big time on that, huh?"

A-Bomb: (He had his hands on his head from realizing their situation with a horrible face, too.)

"Hold on a minute! The Red She-Hulk is here, too! Is she our enemy again?!"

The image depicts Hulk and Skaar facing each other on the left side of the screen. On the right side, the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. and the Warbounds are staring at the Agents of C.R.A.S.H., with Red She-Hulk standing between them, sporting a menacing grin. The camera then turns off, revealing three green words to the viewers.

To be continued!


A/N: That's right, readers! She is here! Red She-Hulk is in my story. I love the Red She-Hulk. Besides Skaar, she is my favorite Hulk. I don't understand why she or Lyra wasn't in Agents of S.M.A.S.H. The writers could've had Lyra be Skaar's daughter in that future episode. But for Red She-Hulk's case, I think I would've loved to see how they added her to the show.

But I will never forget Marvel for what they did to her design! I don't. I'm not too fond of the Red Harpy. It isn't lovely to look at! No, the whole Immortal Hulk comic isn't stunning to look at! But get ready for the final chapter!
