Red With Rage

With Scarlet making her way to Wakanda and having to be tracked down by Deadpool and Wolverine, one hero in particular was already closing in on Scarlet's location. Hulk was jumping from country to country, state to state. He was closing in on her location as he could barely see her, she looked like a small red dot to him, but he was indeed getting closer.

"I see her, good. That means Deadpool hasn't gotten to her first." Hulk said to himself. "Though I wish my team didn't give up in the tournament." He shook his head as he knew the agents of smash would be able to overthrow Scarlet and capture her, but he had a feeling that there would be dire consequences if they tried. "I'll have to deal with her myself, before Deadpool can get to her first. And I have the perfect plan too."

Scarlet hadn't noticed Hulk was on her tail, but it didn't seem to matter as a huge boulder came flying towards her from behind. She quickly turned around as she used her semblance to stop time, she then moved around the boulder as she glanced around wondering who threw it at her. "There's only one person who'd be able to pull that off." She scanned the ground below her as she saw Hulk. "Ara, the big green giant is after me. This should be interesting."

Time resumed as Scarlet snickered, she stayed in the air as she was waiting for Hulk to catch up to her. She knew exactly why Hulk was coming. Hulk noticed Scarlet had stopped in her tracks as he glared at her, he clinched both of his fists as he jumped up high and threw a punch at Scarlet. His fist made contact with her, knocking her out of the sky and crashing down towards the ground.

"That was too easy." Hulk said as he landed on his feet. "But I can't let my guard down for a second." He walked over to the crater that Scarlet had made when she crashed down. "You can stop hiding, I know you're planning something. Give up now, you don't stand a chance against me."

Scarlet jumped out of the crater as she clawed at Hulk's face with her finger nails, Hulk growled with anger as he grabbed Scarlet's arm and slammed her down onto the ground. Scarlet stayed down for a moment as she watched Hulk trash around trying to open his eyes, she rolled away as she stood up and grinned widely. "What's wrong? Did you go blind Hulk? Whatever will you do now?"

"Raar! You may have taken away my sight, but I can still hear you!" Hulk yelled as he turned around and ran towards Scarlet and was about to throw a punch at her. Hulk would prove to Scarlet that he could fight her without sight.

Scarlet scoffed as he jumped over Hulk's arm and hit the back of his head with the butt of her shotguns. She needed to get to Wakanda and fast if she wanted to recreate Black Rose from the Vibranium, she had no idea where Queen had made her lose Black Rose when chasing her through the void of time and space. "I don't have time to play with you Hulk, if you're so desperate to stop me.. then you'll have to wait until I'm fully prepared, of course. I could always harm the others of your group until I get what I want."

Hulk growled as he stopped in his tracks as he turned around to face her. "Prepare? Prepare for what? Haven't you already done enough damage to us all?" He slowly turned around as he listened for Scarlet. "I will not allow you to do what you want!"

Scarlet yawned as she shook her head a little. "I've heard that so many times, it's not funny anymore. You and your friends don't understand how much danger you're in. I can do so much to one person, it'll bring everyone to a halt and break down with fear and terror. Yet, you all seem to not show that. Well... minus Spider-Man, and I plan on toying with you all until you snap. Mentally and emotionally, only then will you all know what true terror is." She cackled as she jumped into the air and flapped her nevermore wings. "Take my advice Hulk! Or you will regret ever challenging me!"

Scarlet had flown way as she was nearing Wakanda, but of course Hulk was still after her. She needed to think of a clever strategy to slow him down, but that wasn't going to be easy. Even if she did you use semblance to stop the flow of time, Hulk would still be nearing her after. His sight may be gone for now, but he tried to open his eyes to see if his vision had came back, it was a small blur for now. Then an idea popped into Scarlet's head, she had noticed the area Wakanda was at as she quickly flew towards it. Hulk heard her nevermore wings flapping as he picked up speed as he chased her, he was slowly catching up.

Hulk threw his arms back as he quickly clapped his hands together. "Gamma wave!" A powerful wave came from Hulk's clap as it sent a shock-wave towards Scarlet. "You can't avoid this!"

Before Scarlet could turn around the gamma wave hit her as she glided through the air to stop herself from falling again. "Tch, lucky shot." But this was exactly what she wanted him to do. She was now within the reaching limits of Wakanda as she smirked and turned around. Scarlet dropped down to the ground as she snickered and hurried inside, she glanced around for any clues on where the Vibranium would be at. "Where would I be hiding the Vibranium at if I were a Wakanda citizen."

"I'll tell you where not to look, six feet under!" Hulk landed behind Scarlet as he towered over her. "You may have taken my sight away, but I can still hear you and everything else." He cocked his arm back and balled his fist and threw his arm forward. "RAAAAR! Eat this!"

Scarlet smirked as she dodged and moved out of the way. "Wow, you're slow. Maybe you have a better advantage as Bruce Banner." She knew she couldn't do anything else against Hulk, but this gave her some time to quickly search Wakanda for the Vibranium.

Hulk couldn't hear Scarlet, he searched around for water to wash his face off as he grunted. "Stupid girl, thinking she can find the Vibranium with ease and win against us all." He stomped around trying to find some water as he stopped, he kept his ears open as he heard the sound of water splashing. He followed the sound as he came to a small river bed of sorts, lowered his hand down to the water and brought his hand up to his face and splashed the water over his eyes. "Nrgh.... she really did a number on me." He slowly opened his eyes again as the blurriness was fading and becoming clear. "I need to give it more time."

There was a huge explosion from the Wakanda palace as Hulk turned his head towards the source of the sound. This sound also could be heard and seen by Deadpool and Wolverine and someone else who was hunting Scarlet. Black Cat, she hadn't had much knowledge on who Scarlet was, but that didn't really stop her from hunting her down. Scarlet was after something rare, and Black Cat thought she'd take that rare item for herself.

"Ooh, look at that mushroom cloud!" Deadpool yelled. "We're too late, Wakanda went boom!"

Wolverine scoffed as he grabbed Deadpool by the collar of his suit. "Quiet Wade! Listen."

Deadpool stayed silent as he listened carefully. The ground started to quake and shake, cracks began to form within the earths crust followed by black bubbly goo and lava, Deadpool knelt down and looked closely at the black goo. He was about to poke a black bubble with his finger until a black furry arm rose up from the goo, Wolverine pulled Deadpool back as he growled.

"Nice going Wade, whatever you did it angered what was hibernating within that goo!" Wolverine snapped as his claws came out of his knuckles.

Deadpool drew his twin kitana's off of his back as he looked towards the readers. "Hold on just one second Logan buddy."

Wolverine looked at Deadpool confused as a Grimm came out of the goo, followed by four more. An alpha Beowulf and four Sabyr's Wolverine could smell more Grimm coming towards them as he looked at Deadpool again. "Any day now Wade!"

"Right right, let me just...." Deadpool said as he pulled out a VHS tape and a VHS player, he put the tape into the player and pressed the fast forward button which made everything around him go faster as the tape started to mess up. "Oh dear.." He stopped the player as he took the VHS tape out as it was ruined. "Whoopsie. Uh, here, let's try this one for you kiddos while I try to fix this with my special touch-" He then placed another tape into the player as it skipped over everything important and straight to Hulk vs Scarlet.

Scarlet had used the Vibranium to make her new and improved Black Rose, it glistered and shined within the sun light and reflected the boiling hot magma that shot up from behind. "Ara Ara, you finally found me Hulk. And look at that, you have your sight back... but you won't have it for much longer."

Hulk pounded his fist into his palm as his eyes were blood shot and red from where Scarlet had clawed at his eyes. "I'd like to see you try!" He rushed towards Scarlet and jumped up and came down fast stomping onto the ground causing everything to shake under Scarlet. "You won't survive this!"

Scarlet cackled insanely as she felt the ground below her crumble and break as lava shot up in front of her as she flew through it and swung Black Rose at Hulk's arm cutting him deep. Hulk let out a painful roar as he stumbled back, he glared at Scarlet with anger in his eyes as he grabbed Scarlet's leg and flung her down hard. The sound of her rib cage and other bones breaking could be heard by Hulk as he then threw her across the filed.

"Damn you!" Scarlet barked as she skidded across the ground and hit a rock, her back and spine snapped as she gasped for air from the sudden bone breaking. "I will not lose to the likes of you!"

Hulk rushed towards her as he was about to slam her into the ground again, Scarlet smirked as her instant regeneration kicked in. She stood up and inhaled deeply as she exhaled, she blocked Hulk's oncoming attack with Black Rose. Hulk's fists collided with Black Rose as he tried to push Scarlet back, Scarlet snarled as she cocked her arm back and threw her arm forward and punched Hulk in the side before clawing at his chest with her nails.

Hulk let out a painful cry and roar as he felt his skin get cut open, he grabbed Black Rose and flung the scythe to the side and then grabbed Scarlet with both of his hands squishing her face in between his massive palms. "I'll crush your skull like a walnut!"

Scarlet only smirked as she spits on Hulk's face, he swung her body back and forth as she placed her feet against his chest. Her arms wrapped around his as she started to push against him, Hulk started to squeeze as hard as he could. There wasn't any crunch or snap or anything yet, He was confused as to what was going on. Scarlet snickered as her head started to slip out from Hulk's grasp, her weight was being pushed onto Hulk's body as she soon slithered her way out of his grasp. She rushed over to Black Rose and picked up her scythe as she spun around quickly.

Hulk turned around as he saw her, he growled as he ran towards her but he was soon stopped as Scarlet had swung Black Rose at his legs cutting him across the knees and then his ankles. Hulk roared in agony as he tripped and stumbled falling face first onto the ground. Below him was a bubbling pool of lava, the ground hadn't cracked open yet. Scarlet however walked over and grinned wide as she slammed her foot onto his head, which caused the ground under Hulk's face to crack. The steam from the lava rose up as the bubbles popped and spat lava up at the green giants face, burning at his flesh.

"Give up Hulk, you can't win against me!" Scarlet laughed as she kept her foot on his head. "I can easily enslave you and have you watch everyone and everything you love burn to a crisp!"

Hulk tried to push Scarlet off of his head, but he could barely budge himself off the ground. "What did you do to me? Why can't I move or push you off?"

"Why? Why don't you ask Bruce about that, you seem to think your connection with Bruce isn't important at times. But now it'll be much more important than you think." Scarlet smirked as she knelt down and looked at Hulk in the eyes. "You're slowly turning back to Banner, and he won't be able to transform into you Hulk. This is the only way I could think of having you die by my hands."

Hulk wasn't buying it, but he felt Scarlet jab at several spots on his body. Which hurt like hell, Scarlet knew what she did and she wasn't sorry for it not one bit. She had hit several pressure points on Hulk to make sure every link him and Bruce had were cut off, the of the Incredible Hulk was drawing near to an end.
