Oh Luna~ Where are you my little sister~

Princess Celestia teased while playing one of her favorite games; Hide and Seek. Princess Celestia was more then grateful for the day off. She could not remember the last time she had spent some quality time with her younger sister. It seems like the majority of her life now was spent writing, reading, or attending to the needs of her loyal subjects. She never really had some time to herself, to just have some fun. Sometimes, she wishes she could just take a break once in a while. But never the less, she did not care about that now. All that concerned her was where her adorable, and ninja of a sister was hiding.

"You can't hide forever Luna~ I'll find you sooner or later"

She knew it could not be that hard. Could it?

They both agreed that they would not use their magic or wings to aid them in their game. She then began to navigate through the halls in the beautiful and stunning interior of the Castle. It was a work of art really. Halls where the floors glimmered and shinned in the light of the sun, filled with columns that displayed intricate and complex artwork that has been so painstakingly carved into them. Such a sight would of made the Greek Ponies of the old time marvel at the work of art. The Castle windows only amplified the beauty of the hallways; sunlight shining through mixed with the various colors that each of the window art displayed. Below them were hundreds of paintings with a different story on each one. She looked at them while passing by; each of them telling the tales of the long forgotten.

Celestia and Luna though, remembered each and every single event that was depicted on the paintings. From the time they were brought onto the planet by the Great and Powerful Queen Faust, to the creation of the first creatures of the sea, land and eventually the skies above. It told stories of adventures from the time Celestia and Luna first found the Elements of Harmony, to the journey they made as fillies to the depths of Tartarus.

Celestia never realized it but in these halls, their entire life was in the form of paintings. Well most of it, some stuff remained a secret that only the Alicorn Sisters would know. The paintings even depicted some of her and her sisters greatest triumphs, but also their greatest downfalls.

Celestia paused for a second while looking at a particular image. A small tear formed when she got to the first painting that had the Changeling Queen Chrysalis. It showed the two of them engaged in a bloody duel that eventually led to Celestia towering over her almost lifeless body. Many thought of Chrysalis as a evil tyrant, but that was not true. In fact they used to be best friends. She even helped save Equestria from various monsters in the past. The reason she hated the ponies of Equestria today was because of an accident.

"I did not mean to kill your Husband Chrysalis. I am so.....so sorry..." Celestia muttered lowly to herself.

She continued to look around at the other paintings further ahead. She came upon one of the most haunting and infamous paintings in the halls. She shuddered as she stared at the figure in front of her. Discord, a physical manifestation of the Element of Chaos and ancient tyrant to the land of Equestria. She remembered that moment as the most painful and scary event in her life. She would of died had it not been for her sister, The Elements of Harmony, but most of all, his personality.

"He was just screwing with me....Why.......Why did he not kill me?" Celestia said with a bit of anger and hate in her tone.

Because that is not how I play MY Game Celestia

Celestia Froze in place. Fear started to consume her as she heard the voice of Discord.

"N-No. That's impossible. He can't be free. He just can't. What do I do? What do I do? What do I do!!!!!"

Celestia's thoughts were cut off shortly as she felt a hoof tap her shoulder. She then realized that her sister Luna was standing right infront of her with a confused and worried expression on her face.

How long was I just standing here? Oh no! I completely forgot about Luna's game!

"Tia are you ok? You look like you seen an army of Ursa Major's or something. You do realize we are playing a game right? Have you just been standing here for the past 30 minutes?............Maybe we should just stop; we can alway try out some other fun activity."

Celestia brightened up slightly at the suggestion. She felt bad for ruining the game for her sister so she agreed.

"Sure thing little sister, you lead the way. What would you suggest by the way?"

"Well Tia, I was thinking maybe we can...."

As Princess Luna listed the huge amount of activities available for the two goddesses, Celestia couldn't help but wonder if what she heard was well true. Was it just her imagination caused by the suppression of painful memories? Was the seal keeping Discord in the stone statue weakening again? She did not know for sure, but she could not let these thoughts constantly plague her mind.

"Actually sister, do you think we can go for a stroll through the Gardens. I think we both need to get some fresh air, we are always cooped up inside of this stuffy castle. It would be nice to catch a few rays of sunlight right sis?"

"I need to make sure he is not free. I can not risk it. Not again."

Celestia looked at Luna to make sure her sister would not get too upset at her for not wanting to play any games at the moment. What she saw was that her sister too was lost in thought. Princess Luna was looking onto a specific picture in the halls that they were conversing in. It was the one that told of the Legend of Nightmare Moon and how she nearly made the night last forever.

A single tear left the night princess eyes as she looked upon the painting of her evil alternate self. The painting itself showed Nightmare Moon fighting her sister, or more appropriately thrashing her sister about. The Sun Goddess did not once during the entire length of the duel fight back. She just blocked or took on every attack she threw at her. It was an act of love, even when she wanted to kill everypony and plunge the world into a state of eternal fear and darkness, she could not harm her sister.

Luna shivered at the memory of how badly her sister looked in that event. Her wings were broken and bent in ways unimaginable, her body was covered in blood with multiple cuts and gashes. She beat her so badly even her vital organs and some parts of her spine, ribs, and skull were visible. She was missing an eye and even a small part of her horn was gone. The Alicorns were capable of incredible and amazing feats, but even healing her horn would take several hundred years. Yet for all she was capable of, Celestia would not fight back.

Celestia could not stand to see her younger sister still hurt and in pain by the memories of what she became in the past. She walked up to her younger sister and extended a wing to comfort her and embrace her in a loving hug.

"You know Celestia, I still can never forgive myself for what I did to you, and to everypony else. I mean I could of killed you all. I know its been two years since the Elements of Harmony cleansed me of the evil and hatred that is the Nightmare Moon, but I feel as if its still there. I still feel it Tia, the monster inside of me. I am scared"

Celestia tightened the hug she had on her sister. "Its ok Woona, I will always be there for you. We all make mistakes , don't let that define who you are but rather let it be a lesson and a guide for the future. You are Princess Luna, Goddess of the night and ruler or Equestria. You are a kind and caring pony sister, never forget that I love you will all of my heart."

"Thanks Tia, I.....I needed that.  Sorry for sulking on the past, lets go for that stroll in the Garden now, shall we?" With that the two rulers departed from the halls that contained memories of the past, both of joy and of sorrow. Luna couldn't help but think to herself-

I am not a monster anymore......right.......

Pain.

It is always the first thing that Banner feels when the transformation happens. His skin rips apart from the pressure his body is exerting to grow. His bones break as they rebuild themselves to be even stronger. His organs increase in size and his muscles tear apart as they prepare for the beast arrival. His veins burst as they too succumb to the transformation, his gamma irradiated blood cells grow several times their original size. It always hurt so much for Banner to transform, its one of the reasons he hates the Hulk. It is a feeling similar to that of dying, but instead of actually giving in to the pain, he gives in to an even greater emotion.

Rage.

He must have fallen several hundred feet. It didn't matter. The Hulk was in control now and as far as I know, Nothing can kill him.  I still feel what he feels so, sees what he sees, hears what he hears. We share the same Body and Mind. I share his pain, his rage, his sadness. He is a misunderstood creature, he does not fight because he wants to. He fights because he has to.

I feel the earth shake as the Hulk finally plants his feet into solid ground as we reach the bottom of the falls. He creates a small crater where he lands; debris of of rock and soil are flown about at his landing. Serveral other craters are formed due to the giant wolves. Some of them have pursued him even after the fall, though not all of them. I was indeed shocked at how their bodies were able to survive the impact, they were clearly stronger and more durable than we thought, but they were smaller in numbers now.  What seemed like over a dozen of the gargantuan beast, there were now only about six of them in total. They were determined, hungry, but most of all, mad.

GRAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!

The Hulk roared in pure rage at the group of timber wolves that surrounded him. They were nearly his size and rivaling the display of fury that he was showing. I could feel him, the Hulk for all of his power and rage, was thinking about how to kill the massive beasts, waiting to see who made the first move.

It wasn't the Hulk.

The first of the wolves charged and leapt at the Hulk from the front, not only were the creatures big but they were faster than given credit for. Teeth flaring and rage visible in his eyes, the beast made the move with the intent to kill on the first strike. The wolf had no idea how wrong it was.

The Hulk quickly dodged by stepping to his side, just in time to watch the beast fly past his face. It came so close the Hulk could smell the flesh stained breath of the wolf, but he wasn't finished there.

Just before the wolf completely passed the Hulk, as soon as his tail was pass his face, the Hulk reached behind him and grabbed it in midair. Using the momentum the beast created from the jump, the Hulk pulled the beast forward and slammed it back onto the ground in front of him. The sound of bones snapping and organs bursting was prevalent in the once quiet woods. The first of the attacking wolves was dead, a small, bloody crater was around the broken remains timber wolf.

The second wolf saw the opportunity the first one presented. Taking advantage of the current distraction, and fueled by the rage needed to avenge his lost companion, this one charged the Hulk from the side. While this one was not as big as the first attacker, which was probably the eldest, it made up its lack of strength in speed. This one was able to get within feet of the Hulk before-

HA!!!

It wasn't fast enough. The Hulk, with one hand still on the shattered remains of the first wolf, brought up his other fist to meet the second wolves lower jaw. The result was  an upper cut that instantly made the beast skull shatter and his brain eject. The impact was so powerful it resulted in a miniature shock wave which shook the trees and cracked the ground beneath them. The second wolves body was ejected out of the area from the result of the punch.

GRAAAAHHHHH!!!! WHO'S NEXT!!!!!!!

The fourth and fifth wolf learned from their dead brothers mistakes. They did not attack individually, this time, they would make it a team effort. They both positioned themselves at opposite sides of the Hulk. The Hulk's grip tightened around the tail of the dead wolf in front of him. He was expecting this, he has fought wolves before, never this big and strong, but he's fought them before. He knew how this fight was going to end.

Tch...... Well.....I dont have all day. BRING IT!!!!!!

The two beast, brimming with rage and hatred towards their enemy, charged the Hulk. Each one of them with their mind set on one thing, and one thing only; To Kill. The Hulk picked up the dead wolf by his tail, and swung it to the right, hitting the fourth wolf and sending both of the bodies crahsing into the trees by him.The fifth wolf on the other hand was able to get on the Hulks back and bring his massive fangs onto the Hulk's neck. Unfortunately for the beast, his teeth were no where near strong enough to pierce the Hulk's nearly unbreakable skin.

You want to know how it feels to have a 2,000 pound, radioactive, pissed off man to come crashing down on you. It is deadly. The Hulk quickly, while the fifth Wolf was still on his back trying desperately to bite down, flopped down on his back. The wolf was instanly crushed under the massive weight from the Hulk's body. The fourth wolf soon burst out of the trees, apparently only stunned by the collosion of the other wolf. The Hulk while still on his back merely grinned in pleasure for what he was about to do. The wolf sprinted towards the Hulk and then jumped into the air, hoping to pin the Hulk down while he was still on his back.

Stupid Wolf

The wolf was only a couple of feet away from the Hulk when all of a sudden-

Silence.

The Hulk drove his foot into the monsters chest with incredible force. It did not even make a sound. It was so fast with so much strength behind it that the wolf had no time to register what happened. It was dead. The Hulk got up on his feet, leaving the fourth and fifth wolf to rot behind him. He turned around to find the sixth wolf and kill it. What he was facing completely suprised even the Hulk.

Staring straight at the Hulk was indeed the final wolf, but there was something wrong. Instead of Hatred and Anger it should have displayed in front of the Hulk, it was showing a different emotion, something a predator should never show its prey. It was afraid. Upon further looking at it, Hulk realized that this wolf was really small compared to the rest. The ones Hulk killed were around his size, but this one was no taller than a humans waist. It was small almost-

Its a young pup.

Hulk never harmed a child before, reguardless of its race, species, or affilation to good or evil. The longer the Hulk stared into the eyes of the young wolf the more he began to see it. His eyes were filled with nothing but fear and despair. Its legs were shaking and it looked as if it was going to cry at any second. Hulk knew it didn't want to fight. It just wanted to live.
