Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, a suburban slum area.
Amidst the rubble of collapsed buildings and destroyed structures, Bruce Banner lay unconscious on the ground. Beside him stood the Green Goblin Norman Osborn, his hoverboard completely broken into pieces and his suit riddled with rips and tears, and a rather disheveled Mandarin who looked exhausted. Green Goblin Osborn looked down at Banner with murderous intent clearly visible in his eyes.
"Osborn, calm down right now. He is an essential part of our plan. Nothing can happen to him at this stage."
Nodding slowly, Osborn said in a hoarse voice, "I understand the plan. Then I will inject him with that substance now. According to the time calculation, when he arrives in New York, it will be the exact time for the drug to take effect."
He took out a syringe filled with red liquid and pierced Banner's neck with it. Osborn injected all the medicine into Banner's body slowly. When Banner's body trembled slightly from the injection, Osborn bent down and whispered in the unconscious Banner's ear with malice: "Anger! Destruction! Killing!"
As soon as the words fell, the Mandarin cast a magic spell to send Banner to a waiting drone, and then the drone without any identifying markings accelerated rapidly and carried Banner to New York!
Watching the rapidly departing drone, the Mandarin asked Osborn, "How long will it take to reach the target location?"
"That drone incorporates the highest technology from both Oscorp Industries and Advanced Idea Mechanics. It is highly stealthy and incredibly fast. It will arrive in about half an hour, just in time for the drug to take effect."
Nodding in satisfaction, the Mandarin casually used magic to drag out and kill a Brazilian military agent who had been hiding nearby and spying on them. Then, he said to Osborn, "Alright, our mission is accomplished. Now we can just wait and see the results. If our plan succeeds, the Avengers will be severely damaged. Then we can begin planning to completely dominate Europe. It will become our backyard!"
"I am looking forward to it!"
...
New York, Times Square.
The predicted location for Banner's appearance.
Carol, Raina, and Medusa were already there, awaiting Banner's arrival. Nearby, Natasha, Clint Barton, Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, and Bucky Barnes had all arrived, ready to go into action.
Near Times Square, a large number of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, led by Agent Coulson's team, were ready to evacuate the crowds as soon as Banner arrived.
If it were a sparsely populated area, they might have been able to evacuate everyone in advance, but in a densely populated place like Times Square, that was not possible, so they could only minimize the damage.
Daisy "Skye" Johnson sat outside at a coffee shop, sipping coffee as she spoke to Coulson, who sat beside her. "They say the Hulk will destroy New York and kill many innocent people. Is that true?"
Coulson, observing the situation intently, replied, "You know Raina too. Do you think her predictions are accurate?"
"The Raina I knew before, while capable, was not to this level. That is why I find it strange.
She claims the aliens from the Inhuman Nation helped her further develop her abilities, but I still feel like something is amiss."
"Anyway, once we meet or capture Banner, everything will become clear."
Coulson had barely finished his words when a roar erupted. A massive green figure leaped from an alleyway near Times Square and landed with a thud on the ground. Its crimson eyes were filled with murderous rage, as if it had encountered a horde of enemies. With a roar, it lifted a nearby car, which had not been able to dodge in time, and hurled it towards the crowd.
BANG!
Carol arrived just in time before the panicked crowd. She grabbed the car thrown by the Hulk, held it close to her body, and charged directly at the Hulk.
Boom!
The Hulk and Carol exchanged blows, and an invisible shockwave erupted from the center of their colliding fists, spreading outward in all directions.
Buzz!
Boom!
Photon energy ignited around Carol, and she unleashed a burst of photon energy, sending the Hulk flying backwards. He slammed into a car behind him, completely destroying it.
Climbing from the abandoned car wreckage, the Hulk frantically swung two cars, whose owners had already fled in terror, at Carol.
Bang, bang...
Bang!
The two cars flew back and forth, rapidly shattering under the onslaught of Carol's attacks.
At this moment, Carol grabbed the Hulk's arms, swung him up with her strength, and slammed him to the ground. Simultaneously, she transformed into her Binary form, unleashing a blazing photon blast that unleashed a relentless barrage of photons upon the Hulk's face!
"Roar!"
With a roar, the Hulk, growing increasingly enraged, grew in strength exponentially. He suddenly lifted Carol up and punched her with tremendous force, sending her flying. The force sent Carol crashing through a truck and a building behind them, finally coming to a stop after crashing into a building a street away.
"Ptui!"
Carol spat out a mouthful of blood, then moved her head and was about to rush out to continue fighting the Hulk. But just then, a car suddenly flew in from outside and hit Carol directly.
Carol raised her hands to catch the car. At that moment, the Hulk rushed over from a distance and punched through the car, causing it to explode violently. Simultaneously, the Hulk's fist and the blast of fire slammed into Carol, sending her flying again, breaking through the ceiling and flying upwards.
Shaking her head violently to clear it, Carol transformed into her Binary form mid-air, adjusted her direction, and unleashed her photon energy with all her might. She charged downward, colliding directly with the Hulk, who had just leaped up to pursue her!
Boom!
A staggering energy shockwave spread through the building, severely damaging its main structure. The entire structure collapsed, and many people who had not escaped were buried screaming in the rubble as the building shook and collapsed around them.
But at this moment, hundreds of Iron Legion soldiers suddenly flew in from afar. Half of them rushed into the collapsing building. Using advanced computer scans, they located the civilians trapped inside and carried them all out to safety. The other forty or fifty Iron Legion soldiers quickly found support points, holding the structure up to prevent an immediate collapse, allowing time for rescue efforts.
Meanwhile, Tony Stark, with a solemn expression on his face, hovered in mid-air and addressed Jarvis directly through his communication system, "Jarvis, activate the Hulkbuster armor, Veronica Mark III!"
"Understood, sir!"
Author's Note: The trap is sprung! Hulk is rampaging through New York. Can Tony's Hulkbuster stop him, or will the Avengers tear themselves apart?
