The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)
Chapter 273 - The Hulk Saga (III)...

[Outside Los Angeles, Army Convoy]

"Sir, you should hear this?" an unknown soldier who was driving General Ross's Humvee turned around and spoke. The soldier turned on the volume of the radio so that General Ross could hear it. ​​

They were currently en route to Los Angeles. Beside General Ross, Emil Blonsky was sitting. He has been recently administered the Super Soldier Serum Bruce Banner has made accidentally but only after several tweaks were made in the Serum.

Emil Blonsky wasn't the only one who was injected with the new serum though. Right in front of Emil Blonsky, a man named Jason Turner(OC) was sitting. Both of them have been injected with the modified Super Soldier Serum the scientists have made through reverse engineering Bruce Banner's blood.

The two of them have already started to show a lot of improvement, they had improved eyesight, improved reflexes, improved speed, improved strength, and improved brain activity. In other words, they were just better all-around but they haven't changed even once.

The scientists working under General Ross were about to start testing their other forms but before they could do that Bruce Banner woke and broke out of the Facility. General Ross knew that it was going to be a huge blow for him after all, he had kept everything under the wraps regarding Banner.

Nobody knew about Banner, neither SHIELD knew nor the President. Ross wanted to gain control over Banner before informing everyone about Banner but Banner had ruined the plan now… Banner had run away after causing a lot of destruction.

The President was not happy with his stunt and Fury also showed his displeasure. That is why General Ross devised this underhanded plan… replaceing out the living relatives of Bruce Banner was done with just some taps on a keyboard. Ross wanted to capture Jennifer Walters, Bruce Banner's cousin so that he could force Banner to work for him.

"Sir, we are under attack by an unknown female mutant" Ross heard someone shouting from the other side of the radio.

Ross wasn't happy, he picked up the microphone "Then what the hell are you people doing? Kill her!! She isn't a human, she has no rights!!" Ross barked out in fury.

"Um… sir we tried" the man from the other side said nervously. "Sir, RPGs don't even put a scratch on her" the man said hurriedly because he didn't want to get screamed upon.

Ross was gobsmacked now, after all, he had himself issued the team equipment and he knew that he didn't give them anything more than RPGs. He turned towards Jason Turner. "Go and take care of her. This is the best opportunity to test how much the Serum improved you" Ross said and Turner nodded his head in understanding.

Turner opened the door of the running humvee and signaled the humvee behind them to stop. The humvee slowed down and Turner jumped off the humvee he was traveling in. Turner walked up to the humvee he had signaled to stop. He got in the car and told the driver about his destination.

Ross only sent Turner because, just before he received the report of his team getting attacked by an unknown female mutant he had received a report from the local police station that Jennifer Walters has been admitted to the hospital after she was shot.

Before sending his team to Los Angeles, Ross has informed the local police that Jennifer Walters was a dangerous criminal and they are on their way to arrest her and if something happens then they should inform him before approaching Walters.

After all, there was no way Ross would do something half-heartedly… neither was he born yesterday, nor did he become a General yesterday…

[POV Reo]

Well, now that she isn't in her office where the hell she should be? Before going to her house I should confirm it from Nat. I pulled out my phone and called Nat.

"Hello, Nat, can you tell me where Jennifer Walters is?" I asked and Nat huffed in annoyance.

'See I told you but no…!! You said you could do it on your own… how is that turning out' Nat said mockingly. I felt another headache hammering my head.

"Nat, I never said that I won't need your help. I just said that you don't need to contact me anymore after I enter Los Angeles, I could replace my way on my own" I said in a gentle tone…

Who could have thought that Nat would reach a conclusion like that?? Before I left her spy room I told her that she didn't need to contact me after I am in Los Angeles, after all, I didn't think that General Ross's men would already be here or that their plan would be to capture Jennifer Walters to use against Banner.

Women are complicated… well, but there is no denying that it adds to their charms and I like mysteries… 'Fine… but I want a date!' Nat said and I released a relieved sigh. A date wasn't something overly complicated… and I loved spending time with my girls.

'Looks like Jennifer Walters is really unlucky today, she has been shot by someone and she is currently admitted in the hospital and you wouldn't believe it… someone named Bruce Banner brought her to the hospital and gave her blood' Nat said in a neutral tone.

I cursed inside my mind, yeah, fate is really a mysterious force. Now, I would replace that Abomination is already a thing… just as soon as finished the thought I heard a loud roar from the outside of the building. I didn't need to look outside and I knew that I had jinxed myself. I am not going to think about it anymore.

"Which hospital was she taken to?" I asked Nat after a released a frustrated sigh.

'Kindred Hospital, Los Angeles, I am sending the directions to your phone. Oh… and Ross is already on his way there' Nat said in a chipped tone. Yeah, she still hasn't forgiven my mistake even though it wasn't my mistake.

"Thank you, love, I don't know what I would have done without you" I said in a loving tone.

'Good boy! I love you too' Nat said and cut off the phone… my shoulders sagged and I released a defeated sigh, I think having a harem should come along with a manual… after that, I simply made my way towards the Kindred Hospital…

[POV Rumi]

After killing the one who launched the rocket at me I didn't even bother to attack anyone else. They were already running around like headless chickens. I heard someone radio his boss… I allowed him. This would obviously work in my favor.

I was brought out of my thoughts when someone decided that it would be nice to shoot me with 50-cals. I looked up and saw that someone from a helicopter had decided to be a hero. Well, I can't have that, I rushed towards the nearest humvee and yanked a door off from it. I turned my body around and threw the door towards the helicopter.

The door smashed through the front of the helicopter, the helicopter shifted through the air a couple of times and dropped on the ground like a bird whose wings have been cut off. After that, nobody attacked me again… they kept an eye on me but they didn't dare to attack, they just kept watching me from a distance.

I was bored only after a few seconds so I started to break the humvee from which I had plucked the door out of. This seemed to scare the soldiers even more… I smashed my fist on the hood of the humvee in frustration and its axles collapsed and the front of the vehicle was completely crushed… hah! Looks like this will be another boring mission…

I climbed on the crushed hood and leaned down… only after a few minutes another humvee arrived and a man walked out of it like he owned this place.

"So you are the mutant filth that was causing problems?" the man spat out in clear disdian while looking towards me. Did he just called me mutant filth??!!

"Who are you, bug?" I said in a cold tone and got up from the crushed vehicle.

"I shouldn't have expected anything more from a filth, can't even answer their betters" the man said and sneered.

"Why don't we let our fists talk and replace out who is the better one?" I asked and walked up to him.

"Oh… I was planning to do that!" the man said and rushed at me with a side-arm in one of his hands while a knife in his other hand. The man pointed his gun in my direction and before he could even blink I grabbed the muzzle of the gun.

I twisted the gun to take it out of his hand… seeing that I got the better of him, he let go of his gun and slashed at me with his knife. I didn't even bother to put up a guard… the knife slashed against my breastplate. Seeing that it didn't affect my armor he backed off. I threw away the gun which was already melting.

"Is that all you got? All bark no bite? Just like your knife" I mocked him, the man scowled and looked at his knife and found that it was already melting. The man looked at the knife with disdain and threw it away.

"Let me show you how I am your better" the man proclaimed and blue veins started to appear on the man's body. Ohh… this is something new!! I thought completely excited.

The man's muscle mass started to grow and he started to stretch out his armor. The man was completely blue now… the man cracked his neck and lunged towards me. I simply side-stepped and dodged the attack. He swiped his hand in my direction wanting to grab me, instead, I grabbed his hand and twisted it behind his back. A loud snap was heard.

The man howled in pain but stopped when my right fist landed on his face and a crunch sound of his nose breaking was heard. The man once again howled in pain.

My grip on the man's broken arm tightened and I slammed my right fist into his chest. At a rapid pace, I landed several more punches, I finally let go of his hand and a roundhouse kick to his chest sent him sailing towards the humvee he came in.

He collided with the humvee and the humvee skid back because of the force of my kick. I didn't even use half of my power and this was the result… the man spat out blood and dropped to the ground. He was already half-dead… all bark and no bite…

"Yeah, right. You are so much better than me" I cooed in a mocking tone. The man looked at me with pure hatred in his eyes.

The man's body started to pulse once again, does he have more tricks to show, I thought with a small hope in my mind. The man's muscles started to bulge and his broken hand snapped back and healed. His nose was also healed, while he slowly rose up from the ground.

The man started to tear out off his clothes, the man was getting bigger by each passing second and he finally stopped growing when he was about 10 feet tall. He could no longer be called a human now… he was a pure monstrosity… an Abomination.

"Roar…!!!" The blue thing roared loudly looking towards me. I couldn't stop myself from grinning… my whole body was shaking in excitement!! Haha… this is too much fun!!

"Come! Let's dance!!" I said and lunged towards the blue Abomination with my right fist pulled back and the Abomination also did the same, he lunged towards me while pulling his right fist back…

("Ahem… readers can you give me a candy?" Cliff-kun said while making puppy dog eyes)
