Bab 25: Chapter 20
Planet Hulk Arc Part 4:
The throne room of the Red King was a testament to his power and his madness. The walls were adorned with tapestries depicting his conquests, the floor a mosaic of the broken bodies of his enemies. He sat upon a throne made of the finest metals, his eyes blazing with fury as he received the latest reports from his generals.
"How could this happen?" the Red King roared, his voice echoing through the cavernous chamber. "How could a single man, a peasant , defeat me and escape with the Hulk and the slaves?"
The generals before him trembled, their faces pale with fear. No one dared to meet his gaze.
"My lord," one of the generals began, his voice shaking, "The one they call Superman is not just any man. His power is unlike anything we have seen. And the Hulk—"
The Red King slammed his fist onto the arm of his throne, the metal denting under the force. "I don't want excuses! I want results! How are the preparations for the spike?"
"The spike is almost ready, my lord," another general replied. "But—"
"But what?" the Red King snapped.
"The people, my lord. They are growing restless. The news of the escape has spread, and there are whispers of revolt."
The Red King's eyes narrowed. "Then we will crush this rebellion before it begins. We will show them what happens to those who defy their king."
He rose from his throne, his imposing figure casting a long shadow over the trembling generals. "Begin the executions. Let the people see what happens when they defy me. And as for the spike, prepare it for the Hulk and his companions. If they do not bow to me, I will destroy them all."
The generals bowed and hurried from the throne room, leaving the Red King to his dark thoughts. He paced the room, his mind racing with plans of vengeance and control.
"They think they can defy me," he muttered to himself. "They think they can escape my wrath. They will learn. They will all learn I AM THE SAVIOR OF SAKAAR I AM THE SAKAARSON AND NONE SHALL GET IN MY WAY!!!."
He moved to a balcony overlooking the city. Below, his soldiers were dragging citizens from their homes, executing those who were suspected of supporting the rebellion. The streets ran red with blood, the air filled with the screams of the dying.
"This is what happens when you defy your king!" he shouted, his voice carrying over the chaos. "This is what happens when you forget your place!"
The Red King watched as his orders were carried out with brutal efficiency. He reveled in the fear and the bloodshed, his madness growing with each passing moment.
"They will bow to me," he whispered. "Or they will die."

Kade watched from a distance as the Hulk addressed the gathered gladiators and the newly crowned King Meek, who had undergone a remarkable transformation. Meek now stood taller, his exoskeleton thicker and more formidable. The gladiators listened intently, their loyalty to the Hulk unwavering.
"We have taken a great step today," the Hulk began, his voice a deep rumble. "But our fight is far from over. The Red King will not rest until we are all dead or enslaved once more."
Kade's heart ached as he observed his friend. The Hulk had become a symbol of hope and strength to these people, but the mercilessness in his eyes was a far cry from the Hulk he knew.
Meek stepped forward, his voice more confident than before. "We must strike at the heart of the Red King's power. We must attack the gladiator training camp where we were all first sent. We will free the newly captured slaves and hinder the Red King's forces."
Korg, the stone giant, nodded in agreement. "The camp is heavily fortified, but it holds many weapons and supplies that we could use."
The Hulk's eyes blazed with determination. "Then we attack at dawn. We will show the Red King that we are not to be trifled with."
The plan was set, and as the first light of dawn crept over the horizon, the rebels moved out. They approached the gladiator training camp with stealth and precision, taking out the guards and breaching the walls with minimal resistance.
Inside, chaos erupted as the slaves were freed and armed. The Red King's forces, caught off guard, struggled to mount a defense. Kade fought alongside the rebels, his superhuman strength and speed tipping the scales in their favor.
The battle raged, but the tide soon turned in the rebels' favor. The Red King's soldiers, realizing they were outmatched, began to surrender.
"We surrender!" one of the guards cried, dropping his weapon and raising his hands. "Please, spare us!"
The Hulk, his eyes filled with unrelenting fury, approached the surrendering guards. "You served the Red King. You oppressed us. You will pay."
Before the guards could react, the Hulk raised his fists, ready to crush them.
"No!" Kade shouted, speeding in front of the guards and stopping the Hulk's fists with his own. "They've surrendered,Hulk. We don't kill those who surrender heroes don't kill."
"Heroes? You think we're back on Earth where you send a criminal to jail and they come out the next day this is Sakaar and we're at war and last I checked we don't have any prisons to hold them".The Hulk's eyes blazed with anger as he turned on Kade. "And you you're challenging my leadership."
"I'm not," Kade replied, his voice steady. "I'm trying to save you from yourself."
The Hulk's followers began to whisper among themselves, some questioning whether Superman might be stronger than the Hulk. The murmurs fueled the Hulk's anger.
"Is the red one stronger than the hulk?"
"He dares defy the Sakaarson"
"Is he challenging the Hulk?"
"You think you can take my place?" the Hulk growled, his fists clenching. "You think you're stronger than me there's a reason they sent me here that's because IM THE STRONGEST THERE IS"
Kade shook his head. "This isn't about strength, Hulk. It's about doing what's right."
The Hulk roared in fury and swung a massive fist at Kade, sending him flying across the camp. Kade crashed into a wall, the impact shaking the ground.
"You've made your choice I've made mine," the Hulk said, advancing on Kade. "This isn't Earth you goody two shoes fuck you can stop the hero act."
Kade got to his feet, his body aching from the impact. He knew he was at a disadvantage under the red sun, but he couldn't back down. "I don't play hero I am a hero I have responsibilities to any living being in trouble even if it's not on Earth."Kade said as he cracked his knuckles.
The two titans clashed, their blows shaking the very foundations of the camp. Kade used his martial arts training to target the Hulk's joints and weak points, but the Hulk's durability,strength and rage made him a formidable opponent.
Bloodied and bruised, Kade fought on, his determination unwavering. But as the fight dragged on, he could feel his strength waning. The red sun sapped his powers, and the Hulk's anger only grew, making him stronger with each passing moment.
"We have to stop this," Kade gasped, dodging another powerful swing. "We're on the same side."
The Hulk's eyes were filled with rage. "Ever since you got here you've gotten in my way I see what your trying to do you're trying to take everything from me!"
Kade blocked a punch aimed at his head, his muscles straining with the effort. "I'm trying to save you from yourself you dumb son of a bitch!"Kade tells as he brings his fists together slamming down on the Hulks head sending him into the ground.
The Hulk on all fours tackled Kade into the side of a mountain grabbing him by the throat preparing to punch him but Kade using his quick thinking kicked the Hulk in the balls the Hulks grip on his neck weakening allowing Kade to smash a rock on his head disorienting him.
"That was dirty"Hulk said as he wiped his nose as green blood dripped down his face.
"Last I checked there weren't any rules in a street fight"Kade responded spitting a tooth out of his mouth.First thing he's doing when he gets back to Earth is seeing a dentist.
"There isn't"Hulk said smiling he was enjoying this fight he hasn't been able to let loose since arriving here but now since his opponent is Kade he can.
"You better get ready pretty boy because I'm gonna make sure your in a world full of hurt"Hulk said as he lunged at Kade.
"Jesus you haven't stopped talking since this fight began your more annoying than Bruce's gamma radiation lectures"Kade replied dodging Hulk throwing dirt into his eyes before going behind him wrapping his cape around the Hulks neck before turning back around and squeezing.
'What's a better way to end a fight with one of the strongest in the universe than trying to choke them out'.Kade thought as he had the entire Hulks body on his back as he was bent forward.
The Hulk using his entire power thrusted forward throwing off Kades grip over him.In turn he grabbed Kade by the cape and started slamming him left and right.
The battle raged on, the two of them leveling the entire gladiator camp in their struggle. The rebels and freed slaves watched in horror, unable to intervene.
Just as it seemed that the Hulk would overpower Kade, a new threat emerged. More of the Red King's forces arrived, their weapons trained on the warring titans.
"This isn't over," the Hulk growled, stepping back. "But we have bigger problems now."
Kade nodded, breathing heavily. "Yeah yeah we'll finish this later."
Together, they turned to face the new wave of enemies, their differences set aside for the moment. The fight wasn't over, but for now, they would stand together against a common foe.
As the Red King's soldiers advanced, Kade and the Hulk prepared for the battle ahead. The future was uncertain, and the path forward was fraught with danger.Kade took one last look at Hulk maybe he should leave Hulk here just imagine what he would be capable of back in earth the way he's changed here he shook his head what the hell was he talking about he came here to save him so that's what he's gonna do before looking forward paying attention to the task at hand.
The Red King's forces advanced with grim determination, their weapons gleaming under the harsh light of Sakaar's sun. Kade and the Hulk, battered and bruised from their fight, stood side by side, ready to face the oncoming storm.
"Stay close," Kade said, his eyes scanning the advancing soldiers. "We take them down together."
The Hulk grunted in agreement, his rage temporarily quelled by the urgency of the situation. "Let's do this."
The first wave of soldiers attacked, their blasters firing in unison. Kade deflected the shots with his speed, while the Hulk charged forward, smashing through their ranks with brute force.
The battlefield was a chaotic mess of explosions and shouts. Kade moved with precision, his martial arts training allowing him to disarm and disable the soldiers with minimal effort. The Hulk, on the other hand, was a whirlwind of destruction, his immense strength turning the tide in their favor.
But the Red King's forces were relentless. More soldiers poured into the camp, overwhelming the rebels and pushing Kade and the Hulk to their limits.
"We can't keep this up," Kade said, panting as he took down another soldier. "We need to find a way out."
The Hulk growled, his eyes scanning the battlefield. "There," he said, pointing to a gap in the enemy's formation. "We break through and head for the mountains."
Kade nodded. "Lead the way."
With a mighty roar, the Hulk charged forward, Kade close behind. They smashed through the enemy lines, their combined strength creating a path to freedom.
As they ran, Kade could feel his strength waning. The red sun of Sakaar was sapping his powers, and he knew they couldn't keep this up for long.
"We need to find shelter," he said, glancing over his shoulder at the pursuing soldiers.
The Hulk nodded, his breathing heavy. "There's a cave up ahead. We can regroup there."
They reached the cave just as the Red King's forces closed in. Kade and the Hulk turned to face their pursuers, ready for one last stand.
But then, something unexpected happened. The rebels and freed slaves, inspired by Kade and the Hulk's bravery, rallied and attacked the soldiers from behind. The Red King's forces, caught between two fronts, began to falter.
Kade and the Hulk seized the opportunity, leading the charge and pushing the enemy back. The battle was fierce, but with the help of their allies, they finally managed to drive the Red King's forces into retreat.
Breathing heavily, Kade looked around at the exhausted but victorious rebels. "We did it," he said, a smile spreading across his face.
The Hulk nodded, his rage subsiding as he looked at the people they had saved. "Yeah, we did."
For now, they had won. But Kade knew that the real fight was just beginning. They still had to face the Red King and find a way to return home. But with the strength of their bond and the hope they had inspired in the people of Sakaar, Kade knew they could face whatever challenges lay ahead.
As the sun set on the blood-soaked battlefield, Kade and the Hulk stood side by side, ready to face the future together. They had come a long way, but their journey was far from over. And with their combined strength and determination, they would continue to fight for a better future for themselves and the people of Sakaar.
