01x02 - Return of the Beast pt. 2

[bunniefuu]

In Our Previous Episode,

Bruce Banner's
Desperate Attempt

To Cure Himself...

Led To Another
Tragic Transformation

Into The Incredible Hulk...

[Groaning]

[Growls]

...Who Rampaged
The Gamma Base.

[Snarling]

When The Raging Green Beast
Was Calmed

By Banner's Beloved
Betty Ross--

Betty?

...Banner Emerged
And Was Promptly Arrested.

Granted Use Of
The Military's Laboratory,

Banner's Second Experiment
Also Failed

When The Evil Leader

Unleashed His Abomination,

Putting The Hulk
Right Where General Ross

Has Always Wanted Him--

In The Cross Hairs.

[Growls]

[Chuckles]
I Don't Know Where That
Other Big Green Mistake Went,

But You're Not Going
Anywhere.

Hulk, Don't Do This.

Calm Down.

Let The Anger Go.

It's Not Worth It.

Betty?

Bruce.

Are You Out Of Your Mind?
Stay Away From Them.

Brian, No.

Betty?

That's A Big Step
In The Wrong Direction, Pal.

[Sighs]

Back Off, Major.

Oh.

Huh?

[Thunders]
[Yelling]

[Growls]
Hulk Destroy.

Talbot?

Okay, Boys, It's Hammer Time.

[Growling]

Betty:
Hulk! Run, Hulk!

Go!

Hit It!

Hulk!

Don't Worry About Me.

Just Go!

Please.

Betty, Why Do You Always Help
Him?

You Know That's Not
Banner Anymore.

It's A Monster,

A Beast That Would
Just As Soon Destroy You
As Look At You.

No, He Won't

Because I've Never
Attacked Him.

[Growls]

Hulk Hate Toys.

Eat Green.

[Screams]

We've Gonna Need It.

We Have Lost Contact
With Target.

All Units Spread Out.

[Grumbles]

[Snake Rattles]

[Growls]

Helicopter Pilot:
Target Re-Acquired.

Open Fire.

[Screams]

What Kind Of Nightmare?

Hulk Saved?

Too Many Of These Things.

All Units Return To Base

While We Still Can.

[Animals Grumbling]

Help Hulk?

Stupid Bug.

Sir, The Battle Choppers
Have Broken Off Pursuit
Of The Hulk,

No Casualties.

What? They Had Direct Orders.

There Was Additional
Resistance, Sir.

Some Strange Creature--

Blasted, Man--
Ow.

You Mean To Say The Hulk's
Still Out There Somewhere,
Alive?

Yes. Way To Go, Bruce.

Betty! I'm Sorry, Sir.

Not Half As Sorry
As I Am, Major.

Experiment? Bull.

Banner Has Had His
Last Chance From Me.

The Hulk Is The Number-One
Threat To National Security.

He Crushed My Base,
And He Once Cost Me A Star.

I Tell You This, Major Talbot--

I Will Have My Payback,

And I'll Have It

Even If It Means Cutting
My Star

Out Of The Hulk's
Ugly Green Hide.

Ah, Interesting.

The Hulk Still Lives,

Saved By Some Unknown Ally.

Gargoyle, Replay
The Field Surveillance.

Yes, Right Before
That Hulking Oaf

Swatted Our Spy Drone,

Terminating
Your Superb Surveillance.

Stop. Yes.

There-- Creatures I've Long
Suspected The Existence Of.

Obviously Gamma-Mutated
Desert Life Forms,

Doubtlessly Created
By The Same Blast

That Spawned The Hulk.

Who Would've Thought
Such Lowly Beings

Could Be So
Delightfully Aggressive

And Organized?

Abomination.

[Growling]

Go Track Down Those Freaks.

Logic Dictates

That When You Have Found Them,

You Will Have Found The Hulk,

And This Time
No Tinker Toy Omega Laser

Shall Impede My Desires

To Snatch The Hulk's Mutant
Power For Myself.

So Says The Leader.

[Scoffs]
"So Says The Leader."

[Growls]

Betty: Oh, Come On.
Come On.
[Engine Sputtering]

[Sighs]
Typical,

Just Typical.

Smooth One, Elizabeth,

Swiping A Rig
With Only Half A Tank.

[Gasps]

Hey, Pretty Lady,
Need A Lift?

Rick? Rick!
[Laughs]

Oh, Where'd You Come From,
You Desert Rat?

I Saw You From That Ridge.

I've Been Cranking
The Throttle Full Out

Since The Second
I Got Your Call
About Bruce.

Oh, Man, It Went Lame,
Didn't It?

Some Huge Scaly Freak

Sabotaged Bruce's Experiment,

And Then Bruce Got Mad And--

Well, We All Know What Happens
When Bruce Gets Mad.

Hulked Out, Huh?

It Was Major Chaos After That.

Everybody Was sh**ting Up
Everything Everywhere.

And Your Dad?

Front And Center,

With A Green Gleam In His Eye.

[Sighs]

All Bruce Has Ever Wanted
Is To Be Cured.

Now Half Of Gama Base
Is Trashed,

They're Hunting Hulk--
[Screams]

Whoa! Hey, Hang On, Beth.

That's The Whole
Blame Report... Sirs.

As You Can See,
The Hulk's Power

Simply Increases
With His Rage.

The Madder He Gets,
The More Dangerous He Becomes.

All The Most Advanced
Resources Of This Base,

Even Our Latest Model

Of The Experimental
Omega Laser,

Were Insufficient
To Contain Him.

Only An Elite Unit

Of Highly Trained,

Heavily Armored
Battle Personnel

And Mechanoids,

With Strategies To Stay
One Step Ahead Of Banner,

Will Have Any Chance
Of Defeating

And Containing This.
[Roars]

[Officers Murmuring]

Well, Gentlemen,
Your Decision?

General Ross,
You've Got Your Hulk Busters.

[Twitters]

Easy There, Scorps.

These Fine Folks Aren't
Gamma Mutants Like You,

Not Quite As Tough As You Are.

Bruce, You're All Right!

Ow. Ooh, Ow.

Easy. Man Of Steel, I Am Not.

I'm Still A Little Sore.

I Take It Your Father
Finally Got To Test

His Omega Laser On The Hulk.

Oh, Yeah--
[Chuckles]

Until It Got Too Hot To Handle.

No Hugs?

Then How About A Shake,
Old Man?

[Chuckles]

Anytime,
Rebel Without A Cause.

Oh, I Got A Cause All Right,
Buddy-- You.

Say, When Did You Pick Up
The Bug-Eyed Fan Club,

Trekker Convention?

Actually It Seems
I Wasn't The Only Living Thing
Out In The Desert

When That Gamma Reactor Blew.

From That Blast,

These Creatures Became
Gamma Mutants As Well,

Bigger, Incredibly Powerful,

And Just Smart Enough To Know
They No Longer Fit In Anywhere.

Except With One Another.

They're Outcasts,

And They've Reached Out To Me

Because I'm One Of Them.

Bruce?
That's Funny.

After All These Years

And All The Pain,

I Find Comfort And Acceptance

Only With These
Abnormal Creatures.

[Roaring]

[Betty, Gasping]
It's That Thing Again.

[Grunting]

[Rick, Straining]
Okay, Up We Go.
Can't Breathe Here.

[Sighs]
Thanks.

I Know You Meant Well,

But, Man,
You're One Heavy Mutant.

Hey, Bette, You Okay?

[Pants]
Just Got A Little Wrapped Up.

It Took Bruce!

We Have To Find Him!

Let's Start With Finding Us
A Little Blue Sky First.

[Tapping On Glass]

[Groans]
Psst. Psst.

Wake Up.

[Gasps]

[Grunting]

Quickly, You Know What I Want.

Where Is Your Research
On Gamma Mutation?

As A Compassionate Scientist,

Surely You Can Find It
Within Yourself

To Help Me Return To Normal.

Please.

Pay Attention!

Now, When The Leader
Is Finished With You,

I Demand That You--

Leader:
Gargoyle.

This Is Not The Time
To Pursue

Your Pathetic Quest
For Normalcy.

A Gargoyle You Are,

And A Gargoyle
You Shall Remain

Unless You Do As Commanded!

Yes, My Leader.

Insidious Troll.

Well, Now, My Dear Dr. Banner,

Whenever The Mood Strikes You,

Feel Free To Transform

Into The Hulk, Hm?

After All,

This Energy Siphon
Is Especially Designed

To Deliver The Hulk's
Gamma-Induced Strength

Directly Into Me.

An Even Trade.

I Become Empowered.

You Become Nothing

But A Lifeless Husk.

Lifeless Husk?

That Is Not Our Bargain,
You Traitorous Fathead.

You Promised Me Banner
Would Remain Alive

Long Enough To Change Me--

I Lied.

Now, As I Was Saying, Doctor,

Rage On.

Actually, I'm Feeling Pretty
Relaxed And Mellow Right Now.

You Clowns Put On A Good Show.

You Insolent Little Worm!

Say, Nice Place.

Do It Yourself?

How Droll And
Characteristically
Un-Amusing.

Gargoyle, Let's Provoke
Some Anger

In Our Smug Doctor.

Raise A Little Hulk,
Shall We?

Certainly.

[Chuckles, Muttering]
Trigger-Happy Dictator.

[Zapping]
No!

Painfully Irritating,
Wouldn't You Say?

Getting A Bit Green
Around The Gills, Yes?

No? Still Holding
Your Rage In Check?

How Noble.

Gargoyle, Again.

[Banner Groaning]

[Evil Chuckling]

Yeah. Scorps, You're Up.

Any Sign Of The Big Green?

No. Look!

[Sniffing]

All Right,
We're On Your Track.

Time For Some Desert Whomping.

[Banner Grunting]

[Zapping Stops]

Tsk, Tsk, Tsk,
Still Having Difficulty

Reaching Your Boiling Point?

Again!

You Reached My Boiling Point,
You Judas.

[Zapping]

Hang On, Doc!

Here Comes The Cavalry.

Battle Drones, Attack!

[Grunting]

Leader:
That's Right, Banner.

Lose Control.

Let's See That Temper Flare
Bright Green.

Oh, The Backup Banks.

It Would Be Such A Tragedy

For Them To Get Damaged.

[Laughing]

Yeah, A Snip In Time,
'Ey, Scorps?

Oh, I Think Not.

[Roars]

[Growling]

Yes,

The Gamma Siphon
Now Commences.

[Grunting]

Oh, Yes!

[Growls]

It's Incredible.

More Power Than I Dared Dream.

Hulk, Don't Give Up.

[Roars]

[Yelps]

[Hulk Roars]

[Screams]

[Screams]

Hulk Back!
Hulk Back!

[Panting]

Oh, You've Spat
Your Last Command, Leader.

Your Precious Knowledge
Is Now Mine,

So Says The Gargoyle.
[Laughing]

I Was So Close.

No! No!

Noooooo!

Whoa, Hulk On.

Thank You.

Not Much To Look At,
But They're, Uh...

Friend.

Hulk? Stay?

We Can Make It All Work Out.

Hulk Sad.

Hulk Go.

No, Wait.

Be Careful.

Hulk

Hulk Sigh.

Hulk-- Bruce,

We'll Find That Cure For You.

I Promise.

Hang Tough, Green Man

Because I'll Be Riding
Right Behind You.

Huh?

Your Day Of Reckoning
Will Come, Hulk...

A Day Of Destiny.
