Chapter 3: Bruce Banner

A giant green body slowly came into line of my vision. The Hulk let out a ferocious roar that broke through the air in front of it with a massive wave of pressure.

My sword struck down the airwave and pushed away any flying rocks and debris out the way with a large slash of concentrated lightning.

Hulk's ugly face contorted as he saw me effortlessly break through his attack.

"You, who are you?"

His voice was a disgusting low growl that sounded like the groan of a damaged animal.

"You don't need to know. A mindless beast should be quiet and obedient."

"You!"

His face twisted into a wicked smile that exposed his giant sharpened teeth and pink gums.

"I'm going to kill you!"

The Hulk pulled his arm back and punched forward with a torrent of air that followed his fist.

I lightly spun my sword back and forth with just a bit of lightning chakra applied to the blade.

Just as the Hulk's fist neared my face the lightning chakra left in the air from my sword formed sharp lines of lightning that cut through the Hulk's think skin.

"Raaaghhh."

The Hulk tried to ignore the sizzling of his flesh but the sharp lines of lightning cut deeper and deeper as he continued to push through the attack until his thick hand burst out in blood.

"You really are just as foolish as I thought."

His bleeding fist was now just two inches away from my head but I still maintained my stoic expression as I stared him in the eyes.

The Hulk pulled his arm back and took a closer look at it. His entire right arm now had black lines like a cooked steak and a concerning amount of blood dripped from them onto the broken floor.

His face didn't have as much of a pissed off expression as before. It seemed that Banner managed to persuade the Hulk to some degree.

"I'll ask again, but only for one last time. Who are you and what do you want with me?"

I placed my sword back in it's sheath and smiled at the Hulk's question.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I'm a core member of the Akatsuki. The reason I'm here is due to the destruction that you've created. I'm sure you noticed how many people have died?"

Even now I could still hear desperate cries for help and the ringing of police alarms. I still hadn't seen any police cars show up but that was likely due to the intervention of the military.

"The Akatsuki?"

The Hulk, or more likely Banner was suspicious of my intentions. The Hulk was simply a machine of pure chaos and destruction, he wouldn't care who I was or where I came from. It was clear Banner still held some level of control over Bruce.

'Enough to get him to stop fighting me.'

"Yes, I am a member of the Akatsuki, an organization that responds to crises that involve super humans such as this yourself. You've become quite the villain Bruce Banner."

The Hulk flinched a bit at the mention of Bruce's name. Banner's control over the Hulk was far stronger than expected, he almost had complete control.

'Did the Hulk realize he couldn't beat me?'

"I'm not some type of super villain. I-It was the Hulk that destroyed this street and killed all those people."

His body slightly deceased in size and his skin became a lighter shade of green.

"Trying to lighten your guilty conscious Banner? No matter, you will serve the punishment for your crimes quite well."

The chilling chakra in my body quickly spread to my spinning eyes as I focused it into Bruce's mind.

"What are yo-."

Before he could finish his sentence Bruce's large body slumped down to the floor with his eyes being clear white and his mouth hanging open.

I pulled his hefty body up onto my shoulders and carried him into a random apartment building that hadn't been destroyed yet.

Suddenly a bright golden light covered my vision followed by a soft angelic voice.

[Mission Complete]

[Subdue the legendary monster known as the Incredible Hulk.]

[Reward: 1x Common Card]

'Oh I can finally get another roulette spin.'

I lightly pressed a tab on the gold screen in front of me and a bright multicolored roulette wheel popped up.

[Roulette Wheel]

[Consume 5x Common Cards to spin the roulette?]

'Obviously.'

With another click a loud melodic voice entered my ears and the wheel began to spin.

Various names I recognized also began to appear as the wheel spun round and round.

[Dipper Pines (Common)]

[Morty (Common)]

'Are you fucking kidding me?'

I obviously hadn't expected someone like Sasuke to appear in the roulette but I was hoping for someone moderately useful.

The roulette finally stopped at a name from a game I played and ended up hating.

[Hornet (Common)]

[Hornet, a fallen princess who endlessly wanders the ruins of her kingdom. She has incredible skill with the needle and thread she carries which she uses to both fight and hinder her opponents. Flee once you see the pale princess's needle, otherwise your life is sure to end quickly.]

'That bug that helps you restrain the Hollow Knight just before you fight the Radiance. I remember she had a huge fanbase but I can't think of anything she has that's special.'

In all honesty I felt a tinge of regret. Although Hornet would increase my physical specs she didn't seem to have any unique techniques. Anything she could do Sasuke could do better.

Still, it's better to have her, even if it's only to have another person in the Akatsuki.

[Sasuke Uchiha (Epic)]

[Sasuke Uchiha, the sole heir to the Uchiha bloodline who's entire life has been focused on revenge. His excellence as a shinobi is clear to see with his incredible proficiency in fire release, lightning release, kenjutsu, and even genjutsu. Beware of the ultimate Avenger's hateful glare lest the scorn of the Uchiha cuts you down.]
