[The Void, Hulks Thoughts]
After Hulk blew through the phantom of Knull, He turned around to face him, seeing the phantom of Knull crumbling He began to think on his next move.
'The void is getting cumbersome and will affect my movements and eventually my power.' Rasing his left hand, Hulk saw little sparks of black just trying to enter his skin.
But his own power was rejecting it and defending against it as well.
'Need to at least bring the real Knull out of his domain, that way I can beat him enough to where I can destroy his body. His spirit on the other hand will be even more difficult to deal with, as it will return to his source which is the void itself.'
Hulk's brain was storming with ideas on how to deal with this conundrum, even Bruce who inside watching and defending their soul, was thinking of a way.'
*Rummblee*
*Grrrrrr*
Until they both heard and felt their stomach, rumble and what seemed to be a growl. Bruce and Hulk had the same thought, 'We devour his spirit!'
'We can devour that is, was, and would have been.' Hulk said to Bruce. Bruce also said,' But it will be difficult, as he is a very powerful and old being.'
Then, they both felt a rumble in the void. Hulk looking ahead spotted a mass swarm of darkness, that swirling around forming what seemed to be a crack.
Hulk and Banner sensing the presence and power of the person coming from the crack, knew that this was going to be a brutal life or death fight.
Then out if nowhere a weird black smoke floated down from the void, it swirled all around Hulk, whispering things to him.
"Death is all that waits you.
"You have no power here."
"Embrace us, Oh Green Beast."
Bruce observing the weird smoke, could tell it was trying to invade his soul and break their minds and will to fight back.
But this was dumb decision on Knull's part. As Bruce only chuckled and relayed what was going on to Hulk.
Then in unison, they both spoke,
"Hmph! Death, what a joke I've died before."
"Death is nothing to me, my wrath cannot be seduced by sweet nothings!"
As they were declaring this, his eyes began intensifying even more, looking like exploding suns. The body of Hulk began glowing an even brighter green. And his divine power surrounded him in an aura of red, and green miasma.
*Rumbbbleee*
The release of Hulks power shook the primordial void, making waves that spread all across it, even Knull felt it.
The Hulk said one more thing as the crack ahead of them opened and the figure of Knull in his red and black armor, holding his true sword, The All-Black! Standing on a mass of black symbiotes for a platform.
Hulk looking at Knull smiling at him sinisterly, willed his gauntlets on for the first time in a while and said,
"I WILL DESTROY YOU KNULL!"
*Buzzzzz*
Hulks gauntlets buzzed and trembled in excitement to prove itself and beat the sword.
Knull looking at him and feeling the trembling of his sword in his hands thought 'You want to destroy them as well.'
*Buzzzzz*
All-Black buzzed even harder, Knull smiled viscously, and he open his mouth to say only three words to Hulk.
"COME DO IT!!"
And that was all she wrote.
"RAHHHHHHHH"
*BOOOOOOM*
Hulk erupted from his position with an even faster speed, looking like a trail of lava flying through the void.
Knull responded in kind.
Lifting up his sword and pointing it at Hulk, he squatted down, and held it in a sword stance. Then he blitzed off from his plat form of symbiotes, roaring as well.
"GRAHHHHHHH!!!"
*BOOOOOM*
From afar, we could see a twirling black mass of darkness piercing through the void from the right. And a huge red, and green sun burning all that got in the way coming from the left.
And they met in the center, making an explosion of epic proportions.
*BOOOOOOOOOM*
*RUMMMMMBBBLLLE*
Gauntlet covered fist and Sword, clashing against one another. Both users of the two weapons, growling trying to gain the advantage.
"Grrrahhh"
"Rahhhhh"
The force of their weapons against one another, and the friction between them created white sparks energy.
Then Knull getting a bright idea, decides to all of sudden open his mouth then his tongue shot out and tried to stab straight through the Hulks head.
But Hulk dodged at the last second, be he didn't come out unscathed.
*Swisssh*
*Pierce*
Knull's tongue found its mark on Hulks broad back.
Arghh!"
Hulk growled feeling the stab, Knull on the other hand was smiling like he was enjoying the pain.
But he forgot his tongue was still out, Hulk didn't.
Hulk then proceeded to blast Knull in the face with a quick beam from his eyes. And grabbing his tongue at the same time.
"ARGGAhh!"
Knull roared out from getting hit point black in the face. Then he felt a firm grip on his tongue, Looking at Hulk, who at this moment had his tongue in his hands.
Knull tried to pull it back to himself but found he couldn't, as Hulk had a firm hold on it.
The Hulk in classic Hulk fashion, began spinning Knull in a circle, then he launched Knull away.
But he followed right behind, and with a right haymaker he smashed directly into Knull's chest.
*Boooom*
"ARgghhh!!"
Knull had the spit knocked out of him, but he quickly retaliated with a swift kick to Hulk face.
*Boooom*
With knocked Hulk away from him, giving him a bit of breathing room. Hulk pushing away the pain in his jaw, sped back to Knull.
Knull sensing him coming, raises his hand and forms what looks to be a mass of black tentacles in the form of a huge ball behind him. It was like a black hole spinning around, and the tentacles span around it reaching it out trying to grab whatever it could to consume.
LIt just looked nasty, as the tentacles looked alive, and had mouths snaping as it tried to bite at the void.
The black hole like ball, was sucking in the void and darkness around it, until it reached a certain size.
Knull satisfied, looked at Hulk and he roared out as he made a throwing motion at the Hulk.
The black hole like attack tentacles followed suit and blasted towards the Hulk; extremely fast might I add.
Hulk not afraid charges up a new move of his, his left hand forms a small ball of green gamma in the center.
The Hulk charged it with even more power, it grew to be the four times the size of our sun.
The green gamma bomb was pulsing and vibrating like a beast it had red sparks of energy on it as well. Hulk satisfied, blasted it to the mass of black tentacles that was almost on him.
And when both of their attacks met, they collided into a huge green and black explosion.
*BOOOOOOOM*
*CRACKLEEEE*
The attack began trying to devour one another. It kept going on until they both exploded taking each other out.
It released a major shockwave, blasting everything away from it. All that was left was bus sized hole in the void, that was slowly but surely closing up.
Hulk seeing the hole knows that this is the opportune moment to get Knull and Himself out of the void.
He flew close by the hole and positioned himself in front of it.
So, he roared out to Knull saying, " Come on, is that the best the King in Black can do!"
Knull's eyes twitched in annoyance, as he hated that title those celestials gave him.
"I thought you were supposed to be able to kill celestials but look at me, who not only smacked you around, but I even survived your precious void as well!"
That did it, as Knull roared and swung his sword down will full force at the Hulk.
Hulk, knowing he cannot dodge this attack for his plans, brace himself for the impact.
*BOOOOOOM*
"Grahhhh!"
The huge red and black sword came down on Hulk like white on rice, and it was imbedded into his right shoulder. But he clamped down on the middle part of the blade, to stop it from going even deeper in the wound.
*BAM*
*CLANK*
Knull licking his lips says, "Yessss, feel the embrace of Darknesss!" He began pushing his sword even harder, cutting a bit deeper into Hulks shoulder.
"GRRRRRR!"
Hulk growling in pain, feels the sword burning his flesh and sucking the energy in his body like a leech.
Ignoring it and the pain, Hulk finally makes up his mind to do what he has to do. He let go of the sword,
*SHINKKKK*
Allowing the sword to go through his right shoulder all the way.
"ARGGHHH!"
The Hulk roared in pain, but he focused on Knull, who at this moment was right in his face.
Knull loving the pain he sees on Hulks face licks his lips with his tongue and says, "Come now, don't fight it! Let go of your struggle, join with meeeee!"
Hulk ignores him and his rambles, and with a burst of speed he grabs Knull in a body hug, stunning Knull himself.
"ARghhhh!"
Knull roared out as felt the squeezing pressure of the Hulks powerful arms. Then in an effort to escape his predicament, since he couldn't use his sword, Knull began to hit the Hulk in the face with vicious punches.
The force of which could instantly destroy a planet, and even destroy a part of a galaxy.
*BAM*
*BANG*
*BAM*
*BOOM*
Each strike made Hulk bleed, and for the first time in a while Hulk could taste his blood. He smiled, as even though he was angry this was the first time he could actually cut loose.
Then in an effort to bring Knull out of the void, Hulk raised his left hand behind Knull and placed it on Knull's back, he then blasted Knull with a full blast of gamma and a but if the law of fire.
"BOOOOOM!!"
"Roaarrrrrrr!"
Knull let out a bestial roar of pain, as he felt the heat of Hulk's blast of his back, the attack burned through his back and his skin.
But he didn't notice that when Hulk attacked, it blasted them through the hole in the void.
And after he used the darkness to fill the wound on his back, he noticed that he wasn't regening the damage immediately like he was able to.
Then he felt lights all around him and he looked up and saw,
"Life!"
There were many planets in his sight, and this enraged Knull even more. But he made the mistake of forgetting he was in a fight.
And the Hulk took advantage of it,
"You got your pound of flesh, now I'll get mine!"
And before Knull could react Hulk, ignoring the sword in his shoulder and all the pain, and draining of his power, grabbed Knull by his head and unleashed a crazy headbutt.
*BOOOOOM*
Knocking the spit out of Knull's mouth and blasting him away. The shockwaves spread all over the galaxy they were in.
Hulk then grit his teeth as he grabbed the sword imbedded in his shoulder and pulled it out.
"GRahhhhh!"
Roaring as it came out, Hulk could see his blood feeding the sword and the sword trembling like it was enjoying it.
Hulk then threw the sword back at Knull, who had stopped himself from flying away even further.
*WOooshh*
Sensenig his sword flying to him, Knull reached out to catch it. The sword maneuvered its blade away from pointing at Knull, and its handle landed in his hand.
"Grrrrrr!"
Growling Knull raised his sword, and he saw the greenish red blood on it, smiling he licked it.
"Mhmmmm!"
Knull groaned in ecstasy as he savored the taste of the Hulks blood. Then he looked up at the Hulk who was healing the wound the sword made on his body.
"I can feel the rage and power in your blood! I can't wait to consume you and your power entirely!" Knull darkly spoke.
Hulk hearing this only snorted, he has heard that many times. But the end outcome was always him destroying the thing that was trying to consume him.
"Hmmm," Hulk concentrated a bit on the wound on his shoulder, it was closing slowly as he expelled the lingering effects from that sword.
After a few seconds, the wound released steam as it closed up completely, and he stretched out his arm, made a fist and began flexing his arm.
Satisfied it wasn't any lingering problems, Hulk looked up at his opponent and said, "I'm not done, I am going to break you!"
Knull only smiled in response and twirled his sword in preparation for an attack.
Hulk and Knull then erupted from there spots, and they began their second bout.
A bout that will be one of the greatest of the century!
