A/N: Yes, it's finally 2018 people! The countdown to all new Marvel movies that will be coming out soon and I just can't wait for you guys. I feel like I'll pass out pretty soon with all of these movies coming, but let get back to the story. And again this chapter and the next one is for you Nicochan11. Hope you all enjoy!
She-Hulk:
"Hey, guys. Well, the last time we were on the select organize called S.H.I.L.E.D. wanting to see us or better words see my cousins. Now we finally have a clear look what Skaar really look like and try to watch old videos of him growing up on Planet Sakaar. But I guess Bruce couldn't stomach it to see people training into... That person. And it just keeps getting worse for my cousin."
Gamma Base
Earlier when the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. return home all getting ready to hit the hay, but as for their leader, he was still awake in the darkness of his room. Bruce was just wandering back and front while arguing with himself.
Bruce Banner: (He sat on the chair messaging the sides of his head.)
"I just can't sleep knowing that I didn't ever have the stomach to watch how these people made him into the Skaar we all know. I keep failing him and started to feel something more dangerous than the Hulk balling up inside us."
His eyes were glowing green like a beast as he finally unleashes all of his frustration on the stone wall by punching it. He groaned in pain remembering that being de-hulk would take all of Hulk's abilities ever the healing faction. Oh, how he used to dislike the healing faction when he always tried to exterminate himself in the past. The ironically, huh?
"Damn it," he groaned in pain again as he just started to stare at his bruised hand.
"Are you alright?" A familiar voice asked that cause his eyes to lighten down little.
"Lyra, what are you doing up?"
"Checking on you," she replied then sat on his bed. "You looked upset when left the S.H.I.L.E.D. Helicarrier. Why?"
He groaned in frustration as his own daughter was bold even to see what was wrong with him. His friend would just leave him alone and wait until he cools down, but not his stubborn little girl. No show no fear and come to check on her dad. He sat next to her and sighed, "I didn't have the stomach to watch... Him. And I feel like I fail him and you too."
"Why blame yourself? Brother's teachers raise him well to be a powerful king and protector of planet Sakaar, daddy."
He smiles started to admire it very needs that he finally got her to admit that he is her father. "Lyra, I know what you and Skaar may think it right but I don't want you both forced to become heroes again. Like I told you before you're still young and need to enjoy the good of life."
"I understand, but I don't know how to enjoy life. All I know is smashing bad people, daddy."
He sighed sadly as he remembers being like that when he became human again. Being the Incredible Hulk for years he forgives what its like to be one of the top scientists Dr. Bruce Banner again. But lucky with his daughter so young she can still find her place in the world as Lyra not as the Savage She-Hulk yet.
"You know what? Let me show you some special, Lyra." He went to his bed to get the white that had all of his pictures. The first picture was of the Avengers, "See? This was the first superheroes team that didn't just see me as a monster. That's Steve, Natasha, Sam, Clint, Thor, and Tony."
"Are the other nice and crazy like Uncle Tony?"
"What? No! They are nice people but can get over excited I mean."
"You mean crazy."
"Fine! They can be crazy but they're the greatest friends I can ever ask for. Let me show you some more."
He continued to show her more picture of his other friends like the Fantastic Four, the Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange, Doc Samson, Olympian's favorite son Hercules, Galactus's Herald the Silver Surfer, the Amazing Spider-Man, the Howling Commandos, the Watcher, Gloria, the Guardian of the Gaxley, the X-Men, and of course the jerk Wolverine (A/N: I think that all of his friends that if memory serves me well. But if I have forgotten one or more let me know!). His rewards and achievement as Bruce and Hulk. Even started to show a picture of his old relatives like his aunts, uncle, and even his beloved mother. But once when he got to the last picture these started to interesting.
Lyra gasped as she took the picture of Dr. Elisabeth 'Betty' Ross, his well former financé out of her father's hand. "So this is your Beauty!"
"Wait. My what?" Bruce looked surprised and worried for a second. Individually only a few people know about his only ever lover (A/N: Hey don't get me wrong I like Caiera from the Planet Hulk movie comic book and movie. Hell I even liked Jarella a little, but I know Betty much longer. She mine favorite!) since becoming the Hulk. She always had his back when he was on the run from her father and those that wanted to use him as a weapon a long time ago. But once when he joined the Avengers Program Fury promise him that she will stay as a secret from his enemies. And she was supposed to stay a secret so how the Hell that his daughter and the universe knows about her?
"You know? The Beauty that tames the Green Beast of Earth. The galaxies told stories how she just a normal woman that never would need a weapon to calm the strongest one there is. Her Beast. That she would just need her words to calm you down," she said as she explains with a smile. "War Lords from another planet even believe that if she were ever hurt you would've no reasons to hold back anymore. Funny right?"
Bruce Banner: (He looked shocked then started to smile)
"Is this what the universe see me a long time ago? From the beginning of my accident, Betty Ross was the only person that Hulk listen to before the others come into the picture. She is will an... amazing person that I and Hulk ever have in our screw up call a life."
"Well everything that they said about her was true, Lyra."
"Really?"
"From the beginning, Hulk only fought the bad guys for her, Jen, and Rick safety but it for most her in past. We only care about just protecting her than the civilian. "
There was a pause as Lyra continues to study the picture then asked, "What it like? Fighting for a loved one I mean?"
Bruce sighed then laid back down on his bed. That's an interesting question to answer. He stared at his bruised hand and replied, "It really hard to said, Lyra. But for guys like me, we will give it our very breath to keep fighting so that our families and friends won't have to fight."
"So you are willing to die for everyone?"
"Yeah, but now I've something to live for and that you and Michael."
"Michael? That's brother human name now?"
"Yeah, the name fit perfectly for him. Since I know he will lead the new band of happiness for me."
"Michael," she repeated again. "You said he will lead you happiness. Who said that?"
He didn't know how to say a cause of his past being the reasons. He had a painful childhood and as he grown he fears that he would become like his dad turn his children. Mostly on his son, he fears. "I guess this would be the next big step for me being finally happy."
"You put a lot of thinking on us."
"Well, thanks, I'm your father and only trying to do the best. And I believe you still have a bedtime, Lyra."
"But I'm not tried! Why can't I stay up with you?"
"Cause we'll have a lot of work to do when we start searching for your brother again."
"Can't I just stay with you for the night?"
Now that touched his heart hearing that his little daughter with to spend the night with him. "Sure, but I want you asleep before I come back, okay?"
She nodded then make a beeline to his bed and hide under the cover. He smiles witnessing how Lyra started acting more like a kid more. She and Michael, not Savage She-Hulk Skaar anymore just Michael really need it now since he becomes the father of these two powerful children. After he returns from the Infirmary Room to fix his hand he sees his little Lyra finally asleep. A beautiful little girl of his making. As he sat on his bed just watching her sleep he turn his gaze on the camera- The camera shows the life of Michael's training by his teachers the Warbound. Sure Coleman told him and the other how he won the war against the Red King. But who knows what less the boy left out since working with the Leader. So he just grabbed the camera and started to watch.
Planet Sakaar 1 yr ago
"No mama, no daddy, or no family to care about me," Skaar growled.
Lavin kneed in front of him gazing into his eyes and can see the fury in them. A rage that they can use against the Red King and his members. "Then let us teach you how to fight and survive, child."
Skaar's eyes widened to hear that not one person but two Imperials, a Shadow People, a Kronans, and a Native is really going to train and shape him into a skilled warrior. Now he will have the chance to avenge his only friends that ever care about him. "Really, Imperial?"
"What?!" Everyone expects Skaar and Hiroim shouted at the same time.
"Yes, we should be able to teach him," he said as he walked toward the adults. "We all can teach him into a skilled warrior and bring down the Red King and his army."
"Are you serious?" Korg asked.
"But youngling aren't supposed to teach yet!" Meik reminded.
"The Divine Creator will not be please once death takes us, Captain Lavin." The former Shadow priest also remind them.
He nodded, Yes. I'll face our Creator with honor on my face knowing that we save our planet and other from this bloody snake! All this shall be my fault when it time to meet our maker."
Elloe gasped then went to the Captain of the Resistance and asked him one more time, "Lavin are you honestly asking us to execute this child into a warrior?"
"Shut up, lady!" Skaar growled then stand up. "He finally gave me a chance to fight that bastard and I can't back down from this opportunity!"
"Manner kid," the captain order than grab his Lady's hand with a smile. "I have never been so sure about anything before, Elloe."
"Then what are you suppose we teach him, Captain Lavin Skee?" The former Shadow priest asked.
"There a lot of skills and talent we can teach him. From what I've seen the Kronans are strong warriors in defense, Natives are beyond the greatest trackers on while the Shadow People and Imperial can do combat and weaponry."
"Hey, that doesn't sound like a bad idea." Korg supported then started to pet his head. "Don't think I'll go easy on you just cause you're a kid. Us Kronans ain't called the Stone Gaint for nothing."
"You doesn't have to worry about going easy on me, Rock Man!" The little boy growled then started to smile that finally, he would have the chance of payback on all of those that follow that red monster. "When can we start?"
"Tomorrow we shall start your training."
"Why not?! This be the perfect time to start training!"
"Cause we've at less two months before another Gladiator Game come. Plus we don't know how you can go back to your other form."
Skaar started to pout and crossed his arms if this wasn't a matter of life or death Bruce would've been smiling. Seeing that his stubbornness really is a genetics passed down to his children.
Meik got closer and asked, "What is youngling's name? You never told us?"
"I don't have a name. The villagers would only call me the Little Monster back then."
"Will that wouldn't do, I'm afraid," Hiroim stated. "And as your new masters, we've got the right to give you a name."
"And what would that?"
"Our Sakaarson."
Skaar gasped to what the former Shadow Priest wanted to name him as the savior of the Planet Sa'kaar. A warrior that fought evil for the people and bring life back to the dying planet with his blood. That blood made the ground green with grass before he dies. This warrior dead as the very first hero in history. He smirked, "No, I like Skaar, the Sakaarson better."
From there the hero watched them train his son and if he being honest they teaching wasn't that bad. Captain Lavin teach him the arts of swordsmanship and combat. Korg teaches defense and the knowledge of technology which surprised the scientist to how smart the stone man really is. Elloe was education him while Hiroim was teaching him religion of the Shadow People. Even couldn't believe that the Native Meik teach him how to use his sense of smell to track people or to use it when he can't see. He is the complete opposite when he with the Warbound cause he was smarter, more communication with his mentors, playful, and eager to learn new fighting moves. He continues watching his son and his friends battle the Wildebots with their king the Egg Breaker. Until at the final round they had to fight his friend the Silver Surfer but won then free him and in return free them from the Arena.
"So there are other Hulks in the universe it seems," the traveler said as he stares at the now sleeping Skaar sleep in his child form.
"What is this Hulk you speak of Sliver Savage?" Elloe asked. She, Lavin, Krog, and Hiroim sitting by the firepit with the Silver Savage while Meik was guarding the kid. After ever big battles it seems that Skaar would turn into his child form and need to recharge his gamma energy.
"A being power by gamma energy with enormous strong that fight for the innocent on Earth."
Krog gasped, "Wait he is an Earthling, not a Sakaarans? How when he looks like a Shadow People."
"He may look like a Shadow People, but I know a human during my time on Earth."
Elloe scoffed, "Might explain the stubbornness, huh?"
"Yes, but I never thought it can give this power to a child or can get this far in this galaxies. Why still have him fight?"
"He agrees to fight against the Red King and his followers," Lavin replied.
"But he is a child! If I didn't travel on my board I'd have taken the child back to Earth. A child couldn't be involved in a war."
"No, he is a brave young man that willing to fight for the people that treat him like nothing! He is our true savior and a warrior I'm proud to train."
Bruce Banner:
"Maybe I'm a little jealous of the relationship between my son and his mentor Captain Lavin. It was like that when Lyra show me Boudicca the first time. Don't get me wrong I'm grateful for these men for caring for my children when on one won't."
Surfer sighed in disappointment as he continues to stare at the stars. "When I fought this child I saw the same look of Hulk even the compassion he shows it when he didn't need to. Even in a different galaxy, all Hulks are heroes in their only way. Farewell, my new friends and may your god protect you all even him."
As the former Herald of the Planet Eater left this savage planet and fade into the night sky. The Captain of the Resistant watch the traveler leave and started to think maybe he was right. Maybe taking Skaar away all of this violence and death was be a good idea so that he can have a normal life on his truth home planet. On planet Earth.
Feeling the tension between this team he turns to them and asked, "Am I doing the right decision, Warbound?"
"What do you mean, Captain Lavin?" the former Preist asked.
"If I let the Silver Savage take the boy back to his planet?"
"We would have continued to struggle against the Red King," Elloe replied. "What are you suggesting?"
"Skaar told me how he always he would get jealous seeing his friends have they families when he didn't. As the Silver Savage told his tales have any of you thought his families are out there?"
Krog grabbed his shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry about that, Lavin. Cause I remember where Planet Earth at and we all can go with the kid for the truth."
The other smile to that idea and that caused their Captain to stop his worry. Once when they savior saves their planet and they are going to help him find his truth. As they continue to travel to the underground hideout in An-Sara where other members like Governor Churik, a friend of Elloe's father the founder of the Resistance. But nothing wouldn't prepare them for what about to happen. Churik was a really a traitor and once when Lavin found out as the others were sleeping the men were fighting to the death. Lavin manages to kill the traitor by stabbing him in the ribs but sadly Churik also has gotten the Captain behind the back as he laid there bleeding to death.
"Lavin/Captain Lavin!"
With little strength, he opens his eye to see this team there. He knows it would be a matter of time since Miek and Skaar can smell his blood. He coughed a little bit of blood and smiled, "I know you all would find me."
Elloe grabbed her lover's hand and sobbed, "Oh no, Lavin what happen to you?!"
"There no time for that. You all need to leave before the Axeman come here."
"Not without you, Captain Lavin!" Skaar said in his child's voice in stubbornness. "We can stop the bleeding and get you out of here! Don't give up."
The dying Captain stared at his student knowing that he isn't going to quit until it his way. It really must be that human side that has this so must passion and care for others. "Elloe, Krog, Miek, and Hiroim you and some others... Evacuate the citizen of An-Sara. Quicky!"
"And bring a healer here too!" Skaar order as well.
They nodded and left their savior alone with they dying captain. They know he isn't going to make it with a deadly wound like that and blood pouring out too. The child needs the hard truth from their leader not from them.
"Don't worry, Captain," Skaar said as he squeezed his hand. "They are going to get you some help."
"Skaar you must... listen to me. Axeman is coming... and you need to face him."
"Of course." This would be his chance to beat that murder once and for all. That's monster killed a lot of innocent people all in the name of the Red King. "But not until you're okay."
"You really had changed, boy. You, not the same kid that just wanted to fight for yourself... You fought for the very people that never wanted anything to do with you. And for that... I'm very proud of you... Skaar. Do.. favor for me and stay strong, find your true family on... Earth."
"Earth? I'm not from here?"
Bruce can see the look of shock on his face. This must be how Skaar set his journey on coming here to find him, but he also wants to know how that snake called the Leader get into the picture.
Lavin can feel death trying to take his spirit from this world and need to hurry. "And live a life better than this, our savior. Goodbye," he said as his eyes started slowly close them and taking his final breath.
"Captain Lavin? Captain Lavin?!" His son shakes the dead body as if he would wake but Bruce knows that not how it works. Death is cruel but it is a part of life and just hate seeing what is happening to his son. "NNNNOOOOO!" He hollower than started to snarl like an animal with his eyes and body glowing blue.
~Footage End~
Bruce stopped the video feeling shock that Michael's gamma energy increase like that again and still do know what is that power. From little inform, he sees from the Shadow People they are very into the beliefs and realization of the Divine Creator. But lucky he learned that some of the Shadow People had this ability called the Oldstrong Power. A source of energy that transports power from the planet to the user to boost and manipulation the planet as well. That dangerous unstable power sounds like the Power Cosmic. But as he about to start another disk shouting can be heard. When he has gotten to the door he was greeted by flashlight attach with assault rifles towards his face. An all too familiar routine back in his back as running from the Army.
He stood his ground to the seven soldiers that stand between him and his daughter. But as he stares at them he can see that there weren't United States Army soldiers these was the United Nations soldiers. "What are you doing here?"
"I believe you know why we're here Bruce," a familiar voice replied from behind. "A man with dangerous children is a threat to the whole world and the universe for that matter." As the voice made his appearance the young father growled as he remembers who that man was. His mortal human enemy Major Glenn Talbot. "It's been a very long time Bruce."
Major Glenn Talbot
Bruce Banner:
"Talbot. Never like that guy since the day I met him and become Hulk. That man was Ross's second in command when I was on the run and even tried to have a relationship with Betty just to bait us. He is just as low just as Leader."
"The feeling isn't material, Major."
"It's General now and I would need you to move from our way. Unless you want to be a fugitive to the United States of America again I suggest you move and let us apprehend the threat. Your daughter."
"I am not letting you take my daughter, Talbot."
Call him bold to step up against the United Nations, but he will not let these people take his child. He had heard from other heroes how there would have to fight against the United Nation's Registration Act called the NextGen Program. This law stated that if you're a superhero, regular citizen or even supervillain parents of more or one child that might grow more powerful, smarter, and dangerous than yourself can handle the world security will take them to start the Superhero business in Avenger Academy or just lock them away for the 'safely' of humanity. It's happened to Tony, the Richards, T'Challa, and mostly the Mutant population. It just as disgusting as that Proposition X Law years ago. This new damn law causes some to hidden their children or just retire so that there can stay with their children 24/7.
"It's alright, Daddy," Lyra walked toward them with an innocent smile causing the soldiers to back away in fear. She pulls her father pajama pant asking him to get close so that she can tell only tell him. "I would hurry if I was you, Daddy. Cause you are the only one that can stop me. I only trust you and the family so hurry before everyone in that place die. Sorry."
Bruce's eyes wide to his daughter threats as he watches her and the soldiers leave. Talbot smirked then said, "Wow. A well behaves weapon is perfect for this country. Nice seeing again Bruce."
Once when the General left started to follow them to the jet unaware that the scientist's blue eyes started to glow green like envy. Hulk was also pissed about this too.
S.H.I.L.E.D. Helicarrier
"What do you mean he has the right to taking my kids, Fury?!" A now in rage and green-eyed Bruce asked. Ever since Talbot and the U.N. army came to their home demanding for his daughter to come with them. The Agents of S.M.A.S.H. hurry back to the Helicarrier to get Nick Fury and reasons with them.
"I'm sorry Dr. Banner, but the World Security Council and even the Nova Corp," he sighed tiredly. He hates doing this to families expecting to Earth's Mightiest Heroes. This men and women give they all protecting this planet and deserve having peace in their lives. "All I know that they want to have a case against your children and I believe you couldn't be there."
"What?! No, I've to be there for Lyra or she is going to attack them."
He nodded to Agent Hill as she disables the room so that no one can't listen. "I know that, but you still have one child still out that you need to find."
"But what about safety?" Red asked with his arms cross. "I don't want to so like a coward but she still the daughter of Greenie. Who besides the army is going to be there?"
"Nova Prime Irani Rael with her assistant and some guards."
"No way," A-Bomb stated. "That's isn't going to be enough, dude!"
A-Bomb:
"Sorry guys but getting a kick and being implanted by her triton was painful! Like how will the army and Nova Corp going to stop her?"
"You think those jokers can handle her?" Red asked with a sarcastic tone. "Please, you would need more to stop that little tyrant!"
Bruce grunted knowing that is the truth. His daughter is strong, intelligent beyond her age and has a planet full of warriors if word ever reaches out to that planet. The United Nations is going to need more people if that even happens. "Ross is right. I want my team to be there too and Jen to defend her, Fury."
Jen was taken aback by her cousin's order. "What?!"
"Yes, I need a lawyer!"
She-Hulk:
"Okay back in my boring life I was a very skill and experienced attorney, but asking me to defend her and Skaar from the UN and the Nova Corp is way bigger than trying to put mob boss away. Plus I only have video evidence."
"Cuzz, I don't know if I can this. I haven't been practicing law since becoming the real me! You've to ask someone less," Jen reason.
"You've to do this for Lyra and Michael." Everyone was shocked once he said that name for his first son and can feel this father plead for his children lives.
She-Hulk swallows her fear and had her game face on. "Don't worry, Bruce! We wouldn't let anything happen to our little Lyra. Let's go, guys!" She left with Red and A-Bomb to get ready for the trial against the world.
Drenkov's Lab
"Are you sure about this Ms. Walters?" Agent Coulson asked again. Fury had informed him and his team that She-Hulk needs the de-hulking machine so that she can be human again. Guess to feel more comfortable as a human.
"Yeah, it's the only way to save them," Jen said as she stands at the center of the machine. "The people would want someone that looks like them and it causes less worry to them."
"Whatever you said, Ms. Lawyer," Red stated as he and other agents work on it. "Ready when you're Shulk."
She inhales then exhale in nervously ready to be human again until her gamma energy come back. But all got to remember is that this is for them. For Lyra and Michael. "Fire it up, Hotshot!"
He smirked then shouted as he pushes the red button, "Fire in the hole!"
Once when the laser hit she started to groan in pain as she can feel all that make her She-Hulk being take away from her. The first thing that going was her height going to an avenge hight woman which cause her clothes to look bigger, her emerald skin started to back into it original white and as for her becoming blonde. She panted then looked at her hands and couldn't believe that back as Jennifer Walters. When she has gotten up she can see all the males stared at her half-nakedness.
She quickly tried to cover herself, "Do you mind? I'm naked here you pervert!" A blondie head agent came to her rescue bypassing her a towel and a business suit. "Thanks," she said as she quickly left.
Red Hulk:
"Hey, not our fault that Shulk's ladies part was stopping us! Don't tell her I said that you puny humans!"
The United Nations
Manhattan, New York City
The now suit up defense attorney Jennifer Walters ready to defend her clients- her little cousins. After coming from Drenkov's Lab to make her human again was painful getting all of her gamma energy suppress but this for her little cousins. As she, Red, and A-Bomb enter the build there can see the Nova Corp Prime Irani Rael watching other leaders fill the room.
Jen walked toward her and smiled, "Prime Rael it's nice to see again."
The Nova Prime smiled back and nodded, "I wish I can say the something, my dear. I'm sorry that this had to happen to your cousin."
"Yeah, my cousins when though so much."
"So the rumors are true, huh? The Queen of Utopia and King of Sakaar are really children of the Incredible Hulk?"
"Yes."
"So many children from heroes are appearing it getting impressive. Did you know that I even had met with both of them after they rule their planets?"
"Seriously?" A-Bomb asked.
"Yes, for resources and support to change those peoples. I even remember the young King Skaar asking for advice about how to be a great leader."
But before Jen can ask for more inform Nova Prime's assistant come to her boss side and whispered, "Prime Rael there are ready for you."
Rael nodded, "Thank you. I will be chair shortly. I'm sorry Ms. Walters but this conversation will have to wait."
As she left them, Jen groaned in frustration, "Damn it! There goes a possible witness leaving us."
"No need defense attorney Jenny!" Rick smiled trying to cheer her up. "You do remember that we have a lot of videos to help them."
"Yeah, girly so stop your whining!" Red in his only tried to cheer her up as well while petting her head. "So soldier up, Walters!"
Jennifer Walters: (smile with a light blush showing)
"Wow that the 'nicest' thing that Red ever said to me. That's sweet for a big red jerk."
"Will all be seated to the case of the children of Dr. Bruce Banner aka the Incredible Hulk," the head councilwoman Hawley order causing everyone to sit. "Now will oldest child Lyra Banner can to the center of the room with her escort please."
Minutes pass with no one coming in until- Boom! The door busted open showing a beaten soldier. The leader started to look worried and scary while other started to shout orders in their native tongue as he walking toward the shock Agents of S.M.A.S.H.
Talbot quickly reaches toward his injured soldier and loud, "Private what the Hell happen?! Where the girl?!"
He groaned as in pain as he passed a disk to A-Bomb and said, "She said to play it for the world." He then passed out on the floor.
Jen, Rick, and Red looked at the disk then started to play.
~Footage Begin~
There in the chair was Lyra but as Savage She-Hulk smirking with her triton in her left hand. "Do you humans think that I would let the Army take me away so willingly? To lock me away like an animal! No, I'll not go through that again!" Then she started to look sad, "But I'm sorry my new family for doing this. You all did so much in just a short time for me. Daddy when you see this be ready for your next fight against the true Savage Hulk. Cause he will come very soon. Savage She-Hulk out.
~Footage End~
