Thieves And Monsters.
Sumire Yoshizawa, a talented gymnast studying at Shujin Academy who becomes involved with the Phantom Thieves. She had a hard life, growing up in the shadow of her much more talented twin sister Kasumi, resulting in her suffering from an inferiority complex which in turn degenerated into suicidal depression and accumulating into a fit of running away from Kasumi. This would ultimately lead to her sister's death, as in her blind depression Sumire would rush out in to traphic without looking for any oncoming cars, and only survived because Kasumi sacrificed herself, resulting in Sumire's already crippling depression worsening courtesy of survivor's guilt. Sumire believed that she caused the death of her sister and stole her dream, and she wanted to outright become Kasumi in order to continue her legacy of being an uncontested gymnast and a perfect person.
While things were rough for a long time, Sumire would ultimately overcome her depression with the help of the Phantom Thieves inspired by how they are determined to face their pain instead of running away. She resolves to face her sadness and overcome it as her own person.
Now she was a member of their team, however she has been separated from them due to this strange new realm forcing them apart. And right now, she was running for her life from a monster. But not the monsters she was used to fighting.
"Never in a million years would I've believed that I would miss the horrors from back home!" Sumire said to herself as she ran before something burst through a wall in front of her.
"Going somewhere, little cricket?" The large beast asked in a dangerous tone.
Sumire took out her gun and fired it at the beast who wasn't effected by it at all as he just kept on walking towards her. Sumire jumped over him and sliced at his back with her sword, but once again it had no effect on his scaly body. The monster swung his hand, making Sumire fly back, before sliding to a halt. She glared at the monster as he came in to view, finally revealing who he is.
Emil Blonsky, the Abomination. Craving for the power of a Hulk, Emil Blonsky purposely had himself infected with triple the amount of gamma that the Hulk originally had. However, it turned him into a monstrous amphibious reptoid as being originally more than twice the strength of the normal calm Hulk, at the cost of never being human again. Ever since then, he has been one of Hulk's most dangerous and percistant enemies, and one of the few villains who can match Hulk blow for blow.
"Is that all? Maybe you should just give up and accept reality. You can't defeat me" Abomination said with a evil smirk.
"I've accepted more than my fair share of harsh realities. PERSONA!" Sumire shouts as her persona comes out.
With her Persona's power, Sumire unleashed a powerful attack. Abomination just smirked and opened his arms as if he was inviting her for a hug. The blast hit him dead on. Sumire smiled, believing she had finally done some damage to the beast... but much to her horror, she saw Abomination was still standing, with no notible damage on him. All she did was leave some barely visible scratches on his body.
"So, that was all you got then? Or do you still have a few tricks up your sleeve?" Abomination asked, but rechived no answer "No? Alright then. You amused me for a moment, so take comfort in that".
Abomination rushed forward with surprising speed for his size. Sumire didn't have the chance to react in time before the Abomination's large hand grabbed tightly around her body. Sumire let out a scream in pain as she could feel herself being crushed. And nothing she did could loosen his grip. The differences between their strength was impossible to describe. Abomination smirked and was ready to end the life of the young girl... until suddenly, out of nowhere, a red fist collided with his face, sending him flying in to a boulder.
"Picking on little girls now, Blonsky? I remember when you didn't mind picking on those your own size" Came a strong voice of a large red brute.
Abomination growled "Ross!".
Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross is former U.S. military general. He is father of Bruce Banner's love Betty Ross and was archenemy of the Incredible Hulk. Ross made a deal with villains to be transformed into a Hulk himself. As the ruthless and cunning Red Hulk, he attempted to destroy his nemesis and take control of the country before seeking redemption as an Avenger. After leaving the team, he formed his own group of Thunderbolts with other Anti-Heroes.
"So you know it's me. Then you must remember what happened last time we did this dance" Ross said.
"Oh I remember what you did to me, Ross. But I am not the same monster you butchered back then" Abomination said as his eyes began to glow with some strange energy.
"So you are all glowy now, big deal. Stay back kid, leave the big ugly monster to the grown up" Ross said as he cracked his knuckles.
Sumire had no clue what was going on, but she had enough sense in her head to know she should stay out of this fight. She managed to move to the side as the two large brutes began to circle each other, both looking more than ready to beat their opponent in to a bloody mess on the ground. There was also hate in their eyes, a clear sign they had a history, a bad history.
"So, how come you are alive Blonsky? What, hell didn't think you were good enough to stay there?" Ross asked.
"A long story General. Let's just say hell couldn't contain me. And now I will finally have my revenge on you and Banner" Abomination promised.
"If you left hell, I just need to send you back as many times as I have to!" Ross declared as he charged at his enemy.
Abomination simply smirked as he suddenly punched Ross right in the face, sending him flying through several boulders and crashing in to a mountain side, making large boulders fall down on him. Sumire could feel the blow from where she was, and it clearly hurt a lot, no normal human would even be alive after that. Luckily for Ross, he was a Hulk, and it takes a lot mroe than just one blow to put a Hulk down. He climbed out of the boulders, already bleeding from his nose and mouth.
He spat out some blood "Alright, so you are a little tougher than before. But one lucky hit won't be enough to put me down".
Abomination only smirked "Why would I want to end the fun so soon?".
The two goliaths charge towards each other with ready fists and clash, causing a massive shockwave that shakes the whole area and sends debris and objects flying in their surroundings. Sumire was nearly blown away from the shockwave, feeling like she was enduring a hurricane.
Ross and Abomination continued to exchanging heavy blows until the Red Hulk charges and tackles the Abomination to the ground and began pounding him in the face with powerful blows. But something was wrong, Abomination was smiling, despite being punched over and over again to the point his face was bleeding, he was still smiling.
"Such lack of control, General. Are you still sore about what I did to your little girl, Betty? She was pretty, but my blood poisoned her good, turning her in to a rotten corpse" Abomination taunted.
The mention of his daughter made Ross utterly furious as he increases his body temperature while punching his hated enemy harder and harder. The Abomination manages to catch the Red Hulk's punch and counters with a head-butt, knocking Ross back. The Abomination quickly gets up and grabs Ross before throwing him into a wall. Ross was able to shake off the damage, but the Abomination charges towards him and delivers a powerful punch that sent Ross crashing out of the area as he tumbles to the ground. The Abomination leaps and lands on him.
"I bet you are wondering, General: How am I beating you after you killed me so easily? Well it's really simple" Abomination said as he lifted Ross by the head "I did more than just break out of hell. I became more powerful than I've ever been before. Turns out those who are strong enough to survive hell long enough to break out are rewarded with some hellish power. I guess you could say that being killed by you was a good thing!" Abomination throws Ross to the ground and began stomping on him "If only we had one of those fancy guns you used to kill me! How ironic would it be if I put some rounds in your head!".
While the Abomination was talking, Ross secretly pulls out the pin from some gamma grenades he carried with him, and it explodes on them, engulfing the two and blasting the Abomination a couple of meters away. Ross, however appears unharmed, as he was able to absorb most of the blast and its radiation. Ross leaps forward to the Abomination and picks him by the leg and slams him around a couple of times before tossing him a few distance into the air. Ross then jumps after his hated enemy and grabs him as they fall back hard down to the ground. Ross smashes the Abomination face first into the earth, creating a large crater, and stood over the monster's unconscious body.
But he wasn't done, he let out a loud roar as he began beating the Abomination over and over again. Putting all his might in to each blow, shaking the entire area, as he wanted nothing else then to kill the monster that poisoned his daughter. He continued beating the Abomination until he raised both his fits and brought them down with such force he create a explosion that looked like a small nuclear bomb. He roars to the sky before looking at the un-moving Abomination. Ross was breathing hard, having spent most of his power in the fight and unleashing so much of it in to his final attack, it left him a little drained.
"Wait, the kid!" Ross suddenly remembered as he looked to see Sumire had managed to catch up with them, luckily she was unharmed "Sorry about that kid. Are you alright?".
Sumire was about to answer until she gasped "LOOK OUT!".
Before Ross could turn around, a hand burst through his chest. Blood flew out of his mouth as Abomination stood behind him with a sinister smile "Didn't you know, General? Never turn you back on a downed opponent, unless you are 100% sure they are truly dead. And shouldn't you know better than most just how hard it is to kill a gamma mutant?".
Abomination pulled his hand free, making Ross fall to his knees as he began to vomit blood, but the evil monster was not done as he grabbed Ross' head. Sumire quickly took out her gun "STOP IT!".
"Or what? You are more than welcome to make me stop, little girl" Abomination challenged, but smirked when Sumire didn't make a move "That's what I thought. This man caused me a lot of pain before he killed me. Only fair I return the favor".
Sumire was about to run in. She had no idea what she could do to help, but she couldn't just stand back and watch as the man who saved her life was killed. She may not know him, and sure he looked scary. But he saved her, and actively tried to protect her. Didn't take a genius to know he wasn't an enemy. However, before she could rush to her death, lightning appeared in the sky before a hammer slammed in to Abomination, sending him back.
Sumire suddenly felt an arm around her "Hold on, child. I will get you out of here".
Before Sumire could register what was happening, she along with Ross and their savior vanished. Leaving Abomination to growl in annoyance.
Back at the hero base, Sumire looked around completely shocked by what just happened "Wh-what happened? Who are you?".
"I am Thor. And no need to worry, you are safe here" Thor said.
Sumire looked at him for a moment before she gasped and looked at Ross "What about him? He saved me!".
"Worry not, his kind don't die so easy. He just need time to heal" Thor said as some medical drones arrived and took Ross away "Now come with me, jusdign from you way of dressing, I assume you know the Phantom Thief ?".
Sumire gasped at the mention of her friends "They are here?! Can I see them!?".
"Yes, I will take you to them right away. Follow me" Thor instructed as he walked away.
Sumire quickly followed him. After everything she saw, she needed some familiar faces.

For those who wonder about Abomination's massive increase in power, I chose to give him the power level he had during the Chaos War event, where he did indeed break out of hell along with many others, and was more powerful than he's ever been. Powerful enough that it took the whole Hulk family, including Hulk, A-Bomb, She Hulk and Red She Hulk who's power level rivals her father, just to beat Abomination back. And not before he one shotted them in an earlier fight.

Tell me what you think.
