After many ups and down finally they were able to track down Bruce Banner but he was not easy going. As soon as he saw them he wanted to make a run.
Coulson: "Doctor Banner, we're not here to capture you."
Natasha: "We just want to talk. You're not in danger."
Banner: "No... You're lying."
He started running and Coulson and Natasha chased after him. Raizen stood calmly arms crossed his senses sharp and with body flicker he appeared in front of Bruce.
Banner: "Let me Go!! I cant be calm anymore, he will come out."
Raizen: "Let him out."
Bruce's eyes turned wild. He clutched his head staggering backward.
Banner: " You don't understand you cant stop him, He is a beast"
Raizen: "Then let him meet a bigger beast"
Bruce's muscles bulged, shirt tearing at the seams. A guttural roar shattered the air as his skin turned green and thick expanding with monstrous force. In seconds the Incredible Hulk stood in Bruce's place, eyes burning with fury.
Raizen: "Come."
Hulk roared and charged.
Raizen wanted to test Kaido's template with just normal punch without Haki also charged. He caught the first strike skidding back across the dust. The sheer force of Hulk's punch created shockwaves lifting earth and air. He flipped backward and landed cracking the ground beneath.
Coulson and Natasha retreated to cover.
Raizen: "Not bad."
Raizen adjusted his stance. Hulk rushed again, fists pounding like cannonballs. Raizen dodged, blocked and landed quick counters but Hulk wasn't slowing down.
A heavy punch crashed into Raizen's side. He flew back slamming into a boulder with a boom. Debris flew around him.
Raizen: "Tch!! He's stronger than I thought."
Coulson meanwhile flipped open a secure SHIELD comm and activated live transmission.
Natasha: "He's... holding back?"
Coulson: "No. He is testing Hulk"
Hulk charged again. His fists came down like meteors. the sheer raw strength of Hulk was overwhelming. Raizen took the punch head on and was able to hold his ground. As expected of Kaido's body who is known as the "Strongest Creature in the World."
Raizen: "Fine. Let's raise the stakes."
His arms hardened with Armament Haki black as obsidian. He blurred forward with explosive speed fists crashing into Hulk's chest. The shockwave split nearby trees.
Hulk growled and struck back. A flurry of powerful exchanges followed each blow rippling the air. Trees cracked. Earth quaked. Birds and animal scattered in panic.
Raizen ducked a wide swing, slid in low and landed a precise Haki infused jab to Hulk's chin. The green titan was lifted off the ground and flew back.
Raizen did not give hulk any time and with body flicker he kept hitting Hulk from different angles and not giving him time to react. Hulk had his hands up and was just defending.
Hulk was going crazy his eyes darkened. He roared a sound of primal rage shaking the mountain ridge. His body bulged again muscles flaring. His strength climbed another level.
He smashed both fists into the ground sending shock wave all around.
Natasha: "He's changing...."
Coulson: "That thing is adapting... getting stronger as fight continues."
Raizen who was high in the sky looked at Hulk's new form.
Raizen: "You're just getting started. So am I." with that he used Soru and came in front of Hulk
Hulk barreled forward and slammed a punch into Raizen's chest. But this time Raizen couldn't block. He was sent flying over a hundred feet crashing through a ridge of stone with a thunderous explosion.
Dust billowed.
Raizen: "Ok he is more powerful now."
Lightning crackled.
The wind stilled for a second.
And then power surged.
Haki swirled around Raizen's rising form like a storm.
