//------------------------------// // Always Angry // Story: The Marvelous Six // by Chemtest //------------------------------// The seven park the car they took from Flim and Flam. The two brothers ride on the back, and gladly take the car back once they arrive to their destination. Flim smiles, “Goodbye, Elements! We are glad to help you anytime. Next time you need to run over some trees, make sure to contact us!” Twilight simply nods, and the brothers ride off. With that done, Twilight looks toward the huge hive, “So, Brown Hive?” Friten nods, “They feed off the feeling of satisfaction and contentment. They are the least useful of the Hives in their greater plans, but they can still be a powerful army. They’ve always had rebels against the rule of Ordirus, but they comes with having their huge population.” Twilight smiles, “So, not that much of a threat. Where might they be hiding our people?” Friten’s eyes glow blue once more, “Apart. One hidden on every floor. At the top is the unicorn, Sweetie. She is first to be sacrificed in... ten minutes. They will sacrifice her quicker once we enter. She is a priority target for rescue.” Rarity steps up, and smiles, “Twilight, get me in there. I can rescue her and distract them as you guys rescue everyone else.” Twilight looks at Rairty, “You sure Hulk will fight this time?” Rarity nods, “He got us in this mess, he can get us out of it.” Friten’s eyes fade, “If you are going to do something, do it quick. They’re accelerating the schedule!” Twilight creates a portal, “Alright, let’s go!” Rarity nods, and through the portal, and into the Hive. As he does, Friten’s eyes suddenly start to glow brown, “Oh no. King Laevus is inside! We need to move quicker, he is too powerful to take on!” Rarity never hears this information though, as she stands within the sacrifical chamber. Sweetie Belle is strapped to a table, and seems to be gagged. Changelings stand all around, and one carries a knife. He unsheathes it as he approaches Sweetie Belle, but is stopped by Rairty, “Excuse me?” It looks in her direction, as does Sweetie Belle, “Excuse me!?” Rarity smiles, “Yeah, hello and all that. Look, it would be real nice if you were to not stab my sister.” The changeling approaches closer to Sweetie Belle, “You dare to interrupt us?” Rarity nods, “Yeah, I do. I made a promise, and I will keep it. So, put down the knife, and you will have a much nicer day.” The changeling takes a step closer to Sweetie, and sneers, “Does this make you angry, pony?” Rarity shakes her head, “No, you would know if I was angry. Me being mad is something you want to avoid, for the health of everyone in this room. So, put down that knife before I become really angry.” The changeling takes a step closer, “What will you do?” Rairty smiles, and cracks her neck, “Punch the bad pony.” The changeling takes another step, “I don’t see you doing anything.” Rairty nods, “Well, I gave you enough chances.” The veins in her neck and body begin to turn green, “Hulk, they’re all yours.” Sweetie Belle looks with worry as her sister’s body starts to turn green. The worry only grows as her front hooves change into fists and her back hooves into legs and feet. She definitely starts to freak out as she starts to growl and shout as she grows larger. Hulk bangs his fists on the chitin ground, and yells, “Hulk crush puny bug ponies!” The leader tries to rush towards Sweetie Belle, only to be swatted away by a green fist. They impact against the wall, accidentally stabbing themself with their own dagger. Another changeling tries to run away, only to have his back hoof be grabbed by Hulk. Hulk uses the changeling as a bat to hit another, using such force that he accidentally rips off the changeling’s leg. He uses this leg to knock down another changeling, and then throw it at one who tried to run away. Hulk looks over at Sweetie Belle, only to see her looking at him with wide eyes, “Little pony close eyes. Hulk smash bug, pony no smash.” Sweetie Belle complies with him, and closes her eyes. Hulk walks over, and removes the gag with care, “Little pony can speak now. Bug not all gone. Continue to smash.” Sweetie Belle slowly speaks as Hulk turns away, “R-Rarity?” Hulk looks back, “Hulk. Hulk part of Rairty. Part of Banner. Explain later, bug smashing now.” A squad of changelings come up the staircase, and they all stop and try and turn back as they see Hulk. But Hulk does not allow them to escape. He jumps onto the staircase behind them. He grabs two of them, and bashes their heads together, accidentally squishing them. Hulk does not notice, as he has moved onto grabbing a changeling to use as a bat against his fellows. Changelings are sent flying from the stairwell, and into the main room. Hulk throws his current changeling bat into the wall, breaking all of it’s bones. He calmly walks up to one changeling that tries to crawl away with two of it’s legs broken. He picks up the changeling, and tosses it through the wall, sending it on a long journey down. Hulk turns around to see the rest of the changelings piled together. He raises both fists, and brings it down on them, “Smash!” He breaks through the floor, showering all those below with bits of changeling. King Laevus does not appreciate this. He creates a new hole in the floor with a magical beam that impacts Hulk, and sends him flying. Hulk flies against a wall, the loud noise shocking open Sweetie Belle’s eyes. She opens them just in time to see Laevus fly through the floor, and change his form. Standing there now is a purple, tall, bipedal form with a gauntlet on one fist, and golden armor all around him. Hulk sees Thanos, and begins to back into the corner of the room. He puts up his hands, trying to block view of Thanos. Laevus approaches towards Sweetie Belle, and she screams as he pulls out a dagger. Hulk hears her screams, and his eyes fill with a new rage. He yells a battle cry at Thanos, and charges forth with a single strike. Thanos steps to the side, easily dodging it, and allowing Hulk to punch through the entire wall. Hulk doesn’t let this slow him down, as he goes for another punch. Thanos easily ducks under it, and stabs Hulk in the chest with his dagger. He then smiles as he punches Hulk back into the corner next to Sweetie Belle. Hulk recovers easily enough, but he gives enough time for Thanos to activate his magic. He gathers the shattered fragments of wall, and sends all of them towards the two in a deadly wall of spikes. Sweetie Belle starts her screaming again, activating something within Hulk. Something other than rage. The Mind Stone detects the anger, the rage, and the fear within Hulk and Banner. With it’s power, it connects to the two. Now, there exists a new mind connected to that body. His eyes glow blue, and magic starts to surge through him. This magic comes with knowledge, and a high pitched voice that is nagging him to not let Sweetie die. Hulk doesn’t plan to let Sweetie die. He activates his magic with his new knowledge, and stops all of the shards in midair. He throws them all back at Thanos, and they impact harshly. Hulk jumps forward, and tackles the now undisguised Laevus to the ground. He pummels him with punch after punch, making a deeper and depper indentation in the floor. He then grabs the head of the King of the Brown Hive, and raises his other fist. Using all of his rage, he brings it down. The body of the King falls through the levels of the Hive, but the head remains in Hulk’s fingers. Magical power begins to fill Laevus, and starts to overload him in an attempt to heal. His eyes light up white, and he starts to scream. He is about to explode with the magical power when Hulk decides to squish his head like a grape. Hulk turns around to face Sweetie Belle, where he smiles as sweetly as he can. He walks up to her, and holds out his oversized hand, “Sister come. Changeling gone. Bug smashed. Friends outside.” Sweetie Belle hesitantly steps into Hulk’s hand, trying to step around the changeling King’s blood. Hulk nods, and punches out a hole in the wall. He steps up to the new window, and jumps to the near hill where the others wait. He lands after a few seconds, shocking all there but the Avengers. He holds out his hand, and Sweetie Belle steps onto the ground next to Applebloom and Scootaloo. Rainbow looks towards the Hive, “Wasn’t the King attacking you?” Friten looks towards Hulk, “He is beyond you. Where is he?” Hulk smiles at Rainbow, “Hulk strongest Avenger.”
