Chapter 53 - 53: Captain Supreme vs. The Hulk

"Oh my God! Look up there! What is that?" "Someone just jumped out of the aircraft!" "They don't even have a parachute!" "Are they trying to kill themselves?!" Gasps of shock and disbelief echoed across the battlefield as soldiers watched a lone figure plummet from the sky like a missile. With a deafening boom, the figure crashed into the ground, sending dirt and debris flying everywhere. As the dust settled, a man clad in a striking red-and-white battle suit emerged, the Umbrella Corporation's insignia gleaming under the dim sunlight. In his hand, a circular shield bore the same emblem, its metallic sheen reflecting the battlefield chaos. "What... what the hell is this?" General Ross narrowed his eyes at the armored figure, his mind racing. That outfit, that shield—it looked eerily familiar. Could it be…? In the shadows, a man wearing dark sunglasses also froze, his fingers gripping the edge of his shades before slowly pulling them down to get a better look. Meanwhile, the Hulk—completely enraged—grinned menacingly at the newcomer. "RAAAAHH!! HULK SMASH!!" With a thunderous roar, the green behemoth lunged forward like an unstoppable force, his massive fists hurtling toward the mysterious figure before him. To Hulk, this man was just another insignificant insect, one that would be flattened under his overwhelming strength. Ross couldn't bear to watch the impending carnage—he shut his eyes, expecting to hear the sickening sound of bones crunching. But then— BOOM! A collective gasp spread across the battlefield. When Ross opened his eyes, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. The man—who bore an uncanny resemblance to a legend of the past—had stopped Hulk's punch with one hand. "Am I... am I dreaming?" "Dear God! He stopped the Hulk!" "This—this is impossible!" The soldiers, who had been frozen in fear just moments ago, now gawked in utter disbelief. "Big guy, Gene Mason has ordered me to hunt you down." The armored warrior—Steve—spoke in a firm, commanding tone. His grip tightened around Hulk's fist before— WHAM!

Captain Supreme swung Hulk like a ragdoll, slamming the green titan into the ground with a devastating impact. "AHHH! HULK NOT HAPPY! HULK KILL YOU!!" Fury ignited in Hulk's eyes. Roaring, he sprang back up and charged at the man who had dared to challenge him. "That's the spirit!" Captain Supreme grinned, his adrenaline surging. He leaped high into the air, his right fist cocked back before— BAM! A direct hit to Hulk's face! A sickening crunch echoed through the jungle as Hulk staggered back. His jaw clenched, his mouth twitching in shock before— Plop! A massive tooth fell out. "RAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Hulk roared, his muscles bulging grotesquely as his rage pushed his body to its limits. His already enormous frame expanded further, veins bulging beneath his green skin. "Target's power fluctuating. Re-evaluating combat capabilities." A calm, synthetic voice spoke into Captain Roggers's earpiece—Red Queen, the AI assisting him. "Evaluation complete—victory assured." Captain smirked. His enhanced body, augmented by both the Super Soldier Serum and the T-Virus, had already surpassed human limitations. Strength, agility, endurance—he was at the pinnacle of evolution. "Alright then, let's see how much you can take!" With a swift motion, he hurled his shield. It whizzed through the air like a spinning buzzsaw before smashing into Hulk's forehead, momentarily stunning him. Taking advantage of the opening, Captain Supreme dashed forward in a blur. Three steps, two steps, one— He leapt—his entire body twisting mid-air like a predatory eagle before— BAM! BAM! Both fists slammed into Hulk's chest with tremendous force! The impact sent the Hulk stumbling back, his massive form almost collapsing to the ground. The soldiers, who had been terrified moments ago, now watched with their jaws hanging open. "What the hell…?!" "Hulk is getting beaten?!" "This is insane!" Captain Rogers relentlessly attacked, his fists turning into a blur of motion. Hulk—one of the strongest beings in existence—was completely overwhelmed. "RAHHH!!" For the first time, fear flickered in Hulk's eyes. His body instinctively took a step back. "You wanna run?" Captain Supreme sneered, seeing through Hulk's hesitation immediately. His assault intensified—punch after punch landed with bone-shattering force. Each strike further crippled the Jade Giant. And then— CRACK! With a sickening snap, Hulk's knees buckled—his legs gave out beneath him. Even with his monstrous healing factor, the rapid brutality of the attacks left no room for recovery. Seizing the final moment, Captain Supreme delivered one last devastating punch straight to Hulk's jaw. For a brief moment, everything spun. Then— BOOM! Hulk collapsed, his massive body crashing to the ground with an earth-shaking thud. And as the dust settled—he was no longer the Hulk. Lying unconscious in the dirt was a frail, exhausted Bruce Banner. The battlefield fell into absolute silence. "HOLY SHIT—HE KNOCKED HULK OUT!" "This—this isn't real, right?" "Jesus Christ, he's stronger than the Hulk!" The soldiers erupted in shock and awe. A group of operatives rushed forward, injecting powerful sedatives into Bruce Banner's motionless body, ensuring he wouldn't wake up anytime soon. A voice crackled in Steve Roggers's earpiece—Red Queen speaking once again. "Well done, Captain Steve." But before he could celebrate, the AI's tone suddenly shifted—becoming sharper, more alert. "Now, let's deal with the rats hiding in the shadows." From the hovering aircraft, four T-600 combat androids leaped down, their mechanical bodies thrumming with lethal efficiency. Behind enemy lines, hidden among the trees, a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents watched in horror. One of them grabbed his communicator, his voice trembling. "Director Fury… we've been compromised." The last thing he saw was a cold, metallic skull—its glowing red eyes burning into his soul—before his screen cut to black. -------------- T/N: Access Advance Chapters on my P@treon: [email protected]/MPHFics
