The onslaught of raw power was something Sinestro had never encountered before. This beast was brutal and savage, it stood against everything he held dear.

It had to be destroyed.

The next time the monster pulled him up, he used the ring to propel him up in the air. He used the creature’s own momentum of movement against it as he shot up powerfully with its upward movement. This move proved to be so successful that once it was complete, he had spun the grotesque thing into its back and now he was on top. The beast held one of his hands in each of it’s giant fists.

“A test of strength then?” The thing was strong, but Sinestro knew he was strong. As fast as thought he lashed thick, strong chains of yellow around the monster’s hands and sunk the other ends deep into the ground. His connection shifted to the ends buried deep below them and he pulled while also flaring his power downward.

“Do you feel it, you chaotic filth? The strength and power of ultimate order?”
The beast below him grunted. He pushed harder.

“You are nothing, beast. NOTHING! I will break you, you will kneel like the dog you are. After that, I will kill that insufferable Jordan.”
The monster snarled. He pushed against the monster even more, his chains ever-tightening.

“And then… I’ll kill that she-cow you covet.” He felt the monster shake. It was afraid! He had it right where he wanted it. At last he would have his revenge on Jordan, on the Guardians, on-

YELLOW. RING. MAN.” Froth came from the behemoth’s mouth. It was only then Sinestro noted that the creatures irises were barely visible. It wasn’t scared at all, it was-

TALK TOO MUCH!

Sinestro screamed in agony as every bone in both hands were crushed from a strength he thought reserved only for cosmic level beings.

Hal spun around at the sound of Sinestro’s pain. His former mentor slumped down after that, unmoving. Hal could still hear the bones being ground together. He continued to watch as the Hulk pulled Sinestro’s ring off… with the finger still attached.

The Hulk rolled to his side, shrugging off the unconscious form as if it were an old rag and dropping the finger and ring, then he turned his eyes to Hal. Then to Betty. His stare lingered on her form as she laid on the softly glowing green hospital bed Hal had created. He didn’t move towards them nor did he move away. Instead, he took in a deep breath then roared his anger at the sky as he beat his chest.

“Bruce…”

The Hulk stopped shouting and looked at Hal. His rage had cooled from maniacal to merely angry. “Hulk not puny Banner. Hulk is Hulk, stupid Green Ring Man.”

Behind Hal, Betty stirred. “Bruce,” she said.

The Hulk took a hesitant step forward.

Betty reached her hand out towards him.

He moved closer, losing his hesitancy with each step. Wisely, Hal Jordan moved out of the way.

The behemoth knelt down beside the bed, worry uncaringly etched across his face. Betty’s hand touched his cheek, a gesture of love and devotion. “Bruce. I know you’re in there.”

The Hulk whispered back in response. “Silly Betty. Hulk not puny Banner. Hulk is Hulk.”

“I know. And I love you too.” As she caressed his cheek, the Hulk closed his eyes, then began to dwindle.

The ring broke the moment. “Alert! Multiple air and ground units converging on this point!”

The Hulk jumped back from Betty’s emerald bed, reversing the change back to Bruce Banner.

“Hulk smash,” he snarled through gritted teeth as he looked back at the limp form of Sinestro.

Hal raised his hands. “Hulk, no! Those are probably military people coming to investigate the mess we made out here. If you attack them, they’ll fight back.”
“Good! Hulk smash them all!”

Hal pointed, “A fight like that could hurt Betty!”

The Hulk seemed to consider this.

“Hulk,” Betty said without raising her voice. “Come here”. She stretched out her hand again.

The Hulk placed his hand under hers but didn’t close it. They stared into each others’ eyes.

“You can’t fight those men. They aren’t bad men like he is,” she glanced at Sinestro. “They’re just soldiers. They are coming here because they think something is attacking them. They’re scared. When they get here they are going to be very scared of you.”

“They should be. Hulk strongest there is,” he stated without energy behind it.

“You are, Hulk. You are the strongest one there is but being strong means knowing you only fight bad people who want to hurt you, not fighting people who are just scared. You have to go run away, just for a little while. Until they go away. And then you can come back. Okay?”

He understood but he didn’t. He knew Betty didn’t want him fighting these new men, but why she didn’t want him to fight them didn’t make sense. Still…
“Betty silly but Betty not stupid. Hulk like Betty. Hulk not fight so Hulk go.”

With that, the Hulk leapt into the night, easily outpacing the quickly closing military vehicles.
