Hulk was quickly over the fight with the Old Strong and instead focused on saving as many as he could, shielding a little girl from the Spikes with his own body and calling out loud while he was still in control of himself.
"Warbound! Fall back! Protect who you can! Into the caves! Beta Ray, I need you to protect them. Good luck, Korbinite." The little one fled hugging the green giant before she ran. Spikes and infected chased her only to have the Hulk bring his hands together and clap them all away before seeing the rocket.
He was in agony as dozens of Spikes burst through his skin and he looked at Caiera and said "Save yourself."
