Synopsis
''Maestro's Army has more than it seems. With four new Hulks by his side, Greenskyn faces not one or two, but three Hulks of catastrophic might. While chances of their survival are slim, Bull and the real Maestro begin their plan to liberate him and defeat the fake Maestro. On the other hand, Rojhaz and his comrades are forced to deal with their own Hulk, ultimately more furious than any he's ever seen!''

Continuity
The issue takes place right after both teams' last known activities in the previous issue, part of The Hulk of Two Worlds story arc.

Earth-9200
Taking off from last issue's surprise, the Hulk of Earth-Z, or more conveniently known as the Zombie Hulk, lets out a roar that dominates the entire Arena. The roar briefly stuns the crowd and freezes Greenskyn and his Hulks, but the crowd goes wild moments later with their cheers. EMH Hulk, standing beside him, cries at Zombie Hulk's arrival. Greenskyn asks him if he has a problem with him, while stammering. EMH Hulk lets out a sigh, saying that seeing another cannibal Hulk is quite a disturbing sight for him. Green asks him if there are other cannibal Hulks, and he mentions one that guarded the city's border. Green responds with utter disgust but informs him that he has no idea how to react to these beings. Seeing the three beings now seemingly idle yet prepared for battle, Green turns to the other Hulks and asks if they want a plan for this one or just smash them to pieces.

The Peter Parker Hulk, just as how inexperienced he is in his Hulk form, simply says "Parker Smash" in a questioning tone. Although EMH Hulk and Greenskyn understand not of him, surprisingly Ross and David understand him. They respond with their own grunts: Ross trying to speak with his English that's broken by the Hulk form's simple mind and David's caveman-like vocalizations.Green and Hulk see each other, the former asking the latter if he knows what they're saying. Hulk says that he should understand them but he's surprised he can't. Greenskyn also has the same case. When the three Hulks seemingly get into a small argument, Hulk 2099 giggles in excitement and thinks himself if they're that stupid to try and formulate a plan with different Hulks altogether. On his flying platform, he turns towards Maestro and asks him if he's free to start it.

Maestro smiles at him, immediately signalling him to start the match. With his microphone's power turned up and the speakers blared to the highest volume possible, Hulk 2099 yells out that the battle will commence in three seconds. When the countdown reaches one, the Horseman of War quickly gallops towards Greenskyn with Zombie Hulk and Infernal Hulk rushing along him. Reacting at the last second, Greenskyn hastily stands his ground and forcibly holds back Red Hulk's equine posterior. Unfortunately, he's not prepared for his tremendous strength and gets shoved. He still gets his grip on the horse's head, though; he's just not stopping.

Infernal Hulk briefly halts his advance to leap up and land on the quartet of Hulk, Ross, David, and Parker. They all managed to step aside in the nick of time, but Ross gets assaulted by Zombie Hulk who immediately tries to bite his arm. Ross furiously defends himself and stops the Hulk's jaws by keeping it open. Zombie Hulk knocks him down with his arms and smashes Ross multiple times, encouraging the crowd's cheer to go louder.

Peter gets up first from the three and looks angry, once again yelling his catchphrase while leaping at Zombie Hulk to aid Ross. Unfortunately, Infernal Hulk quickly smashes the poor boy and lets out a demonic roar. Not letting his friend die, EMH Hulk calls out Infernal Hulk to fight him. The Demon wastes no time and rushes to fight him. EMH Hulk yells out a battle cry and punches his opponent's jaw before gut-punching and headbutting him. Knocking him over, the Infernal Hulk recovers and sees the Hulk trying to charge at him. He interrupts such attempt and locks him and himself in a battle of muscle power.

Greenskyn gets charged to the corner of the Arena where he's violently rammed to its walls, letting out a cry of pain. He turns up and sees the Horseman of War transmoprhing his right arm into a blade. Greenskyn's expression turns into rage and he insults the Red Hulk for being a coward not fighting him himself. War surprisingly replies, telling him that the battle's over. Greenskyn looks over his shoulder to see Peter rushing to his aid while yelling "Parker Smash" multiple times. Knowing that the Horseman cares little for his surroundings, Greenskyn asks him if he forgets he's not the only Hulk there.

In an instance, Parker announces his presence to the Horseman who unsurprisingly half-turns and stabs him with the blade. Unfortunately, he doesn't actually get to stab him as Greenskyn smashes his horse which uncontrollably forces Maestro to halt himself, allowing Parker to tag team on him as he does a stunning thunderclap. Freed, Greenskyn says he'll thank him later and rides on the Red Hulk while trying to control his horse's motion. When Red Hulk gets a hold of himself together and knocks Green aside, Peter uppercuts him and Green kicks down the horse, bringing the Horseman of War to the ground. Taking opportunity, Greenskyn delivers a string of beatdown and ends up throwing him to Zombie Hulk who's still trying to bite Ross.

Zombie Hulk is sent flying away by Red Hulk's body and Ross gets freed. He sees Green and Peter running to his location, the latter reminding him of EMH Hulk. While EMH Hulk is locking with Infernal Hulk, the two of them begin to bark at each other with savage roars several times until a third roar comes, attracting the Demon's attention. Suddenly, Hulk '77 latches himself on to the Infernal Hulk, allowing EMH Hulk to break free and smash his face to kingdom come. Hulk '77 gets off just in time when the three opposing Hulks finally gathered around. From his balcony, Maestro unhappily looks on as he thought that those three were supposed to be powerful. Bruce Banner's voice suddenly comes in his ears, informing him that the Gamma Serum will take effect now.  TBA
