Marvel-ous Ninjutsu

00201. How to deal with the Hulk.

Ezekiel quickly scanned the room and to his relief the seals held in place. Even though the walls around the room were still in place and standing. Everything that was in the room originally was destroyed and turned into shrapnel that now lined the edge of the room. Both Ezekiel in the mirror dimension and the Hulk in the real world glanced around the smoke covered room for a few moments before the Hulk moved to one of the walls and touched it.

A magical shield simmered around the Hulk's hand as he pushed on it. A moment later the Hulk punched the barrier with his other hand which made the entire thing light up. Ezekiel wasn’t sure if the Hulk could break the magical barrier or not, but decided not to test it. Ezekiel quickly weaved a spell together to form a shield around himself and exited the mirror dimension as the Hulk pulled his arm back to punch the barrier again before Ezekiel said, “Hey big guy.”

The Hulk looked over his shoulder to see Ezekiel who smiled and said, “Please be careful and try not break that barrier. It's keeping all of this radiation contained so people don't get hurt.”

Hulk looked back at the shimmering barrier his other hand was touching before he stopped touching it for a moment. When the barrier disappeared, Hulk tapped on it with one finger to see a small ripple spread out in a circle from where his finger was. Hulk glanced back at Ezekiel before he asked, “Who, you? Why Hulk here little man?”

Ezekiel weaved a spell together to collect everything in the shielded room as he said, “I'm Ezekiel. As for why you're here… I'm not sure of that either. But if you give me a minute or two, I'll help you get out of here.”

“Hulk wait.” The Hulk said as he glanced around the room a little bit before he turned back to the barrier and started to tap on it and watch the ripples flash across the barrier.

The radiation, fire, smoke and everything else was quickly gathered into a ball before Ezekiel made a portal next to the sun and threw the ball through it. The bright light attracted the Hulk's attention who turned to look at the portal until it closed. Ezekiel quickly cast another spell which caused the barrier to flicker before it disappeared as he said, “Alright, let me collect something and we can get out of here.”

Ezekiel flickered around the room to grab the runic spell wards he placed before he created an extra large portal and said, “Follow me and I’ll take you to go eat some food.”

Ezekiel stepped through the portal and waited for the Hulk who glanced at the portal for a few moments and even touched the glowing edge before he stepped through it onto soft sand. Ezekiel and Hulk stood on a beach as the portal closed behind them and Ezekiel asked, “What do you think? Pretty nice place uh?”

Hulk looked around at the beautiful beach in front of him as the waves slowly lapped the sand before he said, “Hulk like.”

Ezekiel nodded before he pointed behind them and said, “Let go over there and we can eat some food.”

The Hulk glanced behind himself to find a simple if a lot larger than normal house with a ten foot tall door that was ten feet wide. Ezekiel led Hulk to the house and opened the door to a living area with oversized furniture. The house itself was an open concept and the dining room, kitchen and living room were all one giant shared space. While the furniture was oversized, it wasn’t comically big and a normal adult could use it too but they would look a little small in it.

Ezekiel led Hulk to the dining room where he started to pull out boxes of pizza and placed them on the table. Afterwards he pulled out a bunch of different two liters of soda and said, “Dig in. I wasn’t sure what you would like, so I brought a nice selection for you to try.”

Ezekiel opened one of the boxes himself and pulled out a large slice of pizza and took a bite as the Hulk watched him. After a moment the Hulk reached into the same box and pulled out one of the large slices and took a bite himself which ended up being half the slice. The hulk ended up finishing the first slice on his second bite and quickly reached for another one. As he ate the second slice, Ezekiel opened up one of the bottles and set it next to the Hulk as he said, “Try that, it’s pretty good.”

Ezekiel reached for another smaller bottle and took a drink from it before he continued eating his first slice. The Hulk picked up the two liter bottle and copied Ezekiel as he took a large drink from it. After he swallowed he looked at the bottle as he said, “Hulk like fizzy drink.”

“It’s called root beer.”

Hulk took another drink which caused him to drain a quarter of the bottle before he said, “Hulk like root beer.”

Hulk put the bottle down and reached for another slice of pizza before he froze and grabbed his stomach. He made a weird look as he glanced down at his stomach and said, “Fizzy drink make Hulk tummy weird.”

Ezekiel who just took another drink of his own root beer put it down and said, “It’s probably the carbonation. You just need to burp.”

“What car-bow.” Hulk started to say before a massive burp erupted from his mouth and shook the windows.

Ezekiel followed along with his own burp a moment later before he asked, “How do you feel now?”

Hulk laughed before he said, “Hulk fine.” and grabbed another piece of pizza.

Ezekiel ate with the Hulk for about half an hour before all the pizza and soda was gone. Once they were done, Ezekiel cleaned everything up and asked, “Hulk, you wanna watch something fun?”

Hulk was rubbing his slightly full belly when he asked, “Watch?”

Ezekiel stood up from his seat and headed over to the large couch in the living room which the Hulk followed him too. Ezekiel sat down on the couch and the Hulk followed suit before they were both looking at a large TV on the wall that was currently turned off. Ezekiel glanced up at the Hulk as he said, “This is a TV and you can watch stuff on it. To use it, you first have to say, "power on.”

The TV powered on to a menu selection that was very similar to the one Ezekiel created for Hela, except this one was currently curated with cartoons, some anime, kid shows and learning programs for kids. Ezekiel pointed towards the TV as he asked, “It has a bunch of stuff on it that you can watch. Do you know how to read?”

Hulk looked at the TV screen and the list that was on it with squinted eyes before he said, “Hulk no understand letters.”

“Please switch to visual mode.” Ezekiel said which caused the screen to remove the words and switch to pictures and numbers.

“Do you understand numbers?”

Hulk shook his head so Ezekiel said, “Alright, let's put on something so you can learn numbers. “Please play learning content focused on numbers.”

The TV changed to a Playlist and auto started the first episode as music started to play before kids started to sing, “Sunny day.”

“Sweeping the clouds away.”

Hulk started to sway along with the music as it continued, “On my way to where the air is sweet.”

Ezekiel ended up watching a couple episodes with Hulk before he stood up from the couch and said, “I have some stuff I need to do, but I'll be back in a few hours with something else to eat.”

Hulk glanced at Ezekiel as he pointed at the TV and said, “Hulk want cookie.”

On the TV was a blue monster eating cookies which made Ezekiel smile before he said, “Alright, I'll bring you some cookies when I come back.”

Ezekiel created a portal and stepped back out into Banner's lab where he found a couple people waiting for him. Minato no longer had his mask on and was sitting on a couch that he grabbed from somewhere. Also on the couch was another blonde haired man and they were both currently using their cell phones. Minato glanced up first and said, “That took a while. I almost thought something went wrong.”

Ezekiel shook his head before he said, “No, it actually went better than I expected.”

The other blonde haired man put his phone away and stood up as he asked, “Is it finally time for me to show off my art?”

“Soon. I wanna make sure the place is cleared out and no one will be in the blast zone… Also you made sure to only plant explosives in and around Banner's lab, correct?” Ezekiel asked.

“Of course I did. What do you take me for, an amateur?”

Ezekiel raised an eyebrow as he said, “No, but I also know you can get a little carried away when it comes to your art.”

The man was about to reply when Minato said, “I double checked Deidara's work, everything should be fine… Even though it seems like he added more explosive clay than needed.”

Ezekiel glanced back at Deidara as he asked, “How much clay did you use?”

“Six pounds.”

Ezekiel frowned as he thought over what he knew about Deidara's ability before he asked, “Wouldn’t two pounds work for what we need to do?”

“I’m not completely sure if this clay will work as well as the chakra infused clay that I used to use.” Deidara said with a shrug.

“I thought you tested it?” Ezekiel asked. 

“I did, with small scale tests that underperformed.”

Ezekiel thought it over for a few moments before he said, “Whatever, as long as the explosion doesn't exceed the expected blast radius.”

“It shouldn't…” Deidara said with a hint of uncertainty.

Ezekiel glanced towards Minato before he said, “Have the team clear another half mile… Just in case.”

As Minato disappeared in a flash, Ezekiel opened a large portal to a warehouse full of stuff. He walked through the portal before he looked back at Deidara and said, “Come help me move this stuff.”

Deidara quickly followed Ezekiel through the portal and looked at everything inside the building before he said, “Do we really need to put all this stuff in the room? It's just gonna be blown up once we're done.”

Ezekiel created a couple extra shadow clones to help with the task before he said, “This is just to make sure we dot our i’ and cross our t's.”

Deidara glanced at all the heavy objects in the room before he pulled out some clay and created a small centipede with it. He tossed it on the ground before he made a hand seal and the centipede exploded into a cloud of smoke. A moment later a ten foot long, one foot wide centipede appeared and Deidara had it help him move a large desk through the portal.

It took them about an hour to get everything into the room and into place before Ezekiel was satisfied. Afterwards he checked in with Minato and the others who were in the process of dealing with the surrounding area. While it would normally be a busy area filled with people, it was currently spring break. So the total number of people currently still on campus amounted to a few dozen.

For everyone that didn't need to be there, they were placed under a suggestive genjutsu that made them leave the campus and go do something else. As for the people like security guards and other personnel, they were also under genjutsu and kept away from the campus for now. The other positive thing about the campus was it was placed a few miles just outside of the city. Since that was the case, it made clearing the area that much easier.

Once Ezekiel confirmed the area was cleared with his team, he moved out of the building to a spot a little ways away with a clear view of the campus. With everyone there including the personnel for the school, he pulled all of them into the mirror dimension. Once there he looked towards Deidara and said, “Alright, go ahead.”

Deidara smiled as he looked towards the campus and said, “Remember to watch this closely because art… Art is an explosion!”

The campus in the distance erupted into a massive explosion that destroyed over half the building and sent a massive shock wave out from it for over a mile. Ezekiel turned to Deidara with a glare as he asked, “What the hell was that? That was five times bigger than it needed to be!”

“But you said it was supposed to be an explosion caused by radiation and nuclear explosions are massive.” Deidara said as he tried to defend himself.

Ezekiel shook his head as he pulled everyone out of the mirror dimension before he said, “You know what to do… And don't forget to edit the genjutsu so they remember the explosion.”

As his team took off to place everyone in parts of the building not affected by the blast and easy for them to get out of. Ezekiel moved to check out the damage himself before he met back up with his team and portaled everyone out of there. Once that was done, Ezekiel went to go visit Hela for a few hours before he collected some more food and cookies.
