The sun will shine on us again

Chapter 17

Hundreds of thousands of spectators packed into the stadium seats. Dozens of starships are parked above the arena. Loki and Tony lounge in the Grandmaster's luxury suite, a VIP box attached to the fighting area.

It was the biggest arena Tony has ever seen.

"Remind me to make something like that in front of my tower. " Tony said to Loki as a holographic projection of the Grandmaster appeared.

Before Loki could say anything, he was interrupted by the Grandmaster's loud voice.

"Wow! Look at all of you. What a show, WHAT-A-NIGHT! Who's having fun? Please, I'm your host. A big round of applause for all of our undercard competitors... who died so gruesomely. Good sports. What a show! What a night! This is what you've come for and so have I."

"This is going to be a long night. "Loki complained.

There was applause from the crowd, Tony thought he would lose his hearing.

"And now, without further ado... it's the main event time!!" and there was......

INSANE APPLAUSE FROM THE CROWD.

"Making his first appearance, though he looks quite promising, got a couple of tricks up his sleeve. I'll say no more, see what you think. Ladies and gentlemen...I give it to you...Lord of Thunder!" The Grandmaster's voice continued.

Thor entered Shaved head, trimmed beard, minimalist armor, covered in weapons. Two swords on his back, giant mace in one hand, spiked shield in the other.

Loki was looking horrified at Thor's hair. Did someone die while cutting his hair?

"Like Thor's new look. "Tony commented, which made Loki shot him an annoyed look.

"Watch out for his fingers. They make sparks." The Grandmaster said, making gestures with his hands. He was sitting beside Tony and Loki, looking very pleased.

Thor looks up at the screaming fans and then puts on his helmet.

"Okay, this is it. Let's get ready to welcome this guy. Here he comes. He is a creature." And after a dramatic pause, he said. What can we say about him? Well, he's unique. There's none like him. I feel a special connection with him."

The entire crowd was on its feet.

"He's undefeated. HE'S THE REIGNING...HE'S THE DEFENDING..." the grandmaster said. "Ladies and gentlemen... I give you..." A familiar roar to Tony can be heard throughout the whole stadium.

Tony's eyes went wide when he saw a familiar green being exploded through the door. "That is... "The words were stuck in his mouth.

"Yes! My champion! "the Grandmaster yelled excitedly, finishing Tony's sentence.

Loki goes ghost white. It was the first time he came across the Hulk, he only got used to Bruce. But not the Hulk!

The Hulk was wearing an armored shoulder guard and a Spartan helmet. He was carrying a Warhammer in one hand and a battle axe in the other. Hulk pounded his chest and roars, further energizing an already frenzied crowd.

"I have to get off this planet." Loki tried to exit, but the Grandmaster stopped him.

"Hey, hey, hey! Where are you going?" the Grandmaster asked.

Tony placed his arm on Loki's shoulder, upon seeing his friend panicking. Tony still couldn't wrap his mind around it! What is Bruce doing here?

Thor was laughing on the battlefield. "that's my buddy over there!"

"Hey! We know each other. He's a friend from work." Thor shouted in the Grandmaster's direction. And then he noticed Loki and Tony sitting beside the Grandmaster.
