In a small
Texas camp, the inhabitants are going about their daily lives, with a little
boy named Leo playing on a rusted antique motorcycle that once belonged to his
uncle Sal, when a monster invades the area. It is a vicious predator with a
face like a Mayan mask and it catches and kills a man. A woman helps Leo to hide
beneath a hut as the monster stalks them. Then the wheels of the motorcycle
start to flame….
Bruce Banner
and Charlie walk along the deserted road, the girl asks if it is true that she
killed her father, like they said on the news. Bruce says it was more likely
the car crash that did it. A pickup stops to offer them a ride to town and they
are warned to not be out after dark when “something” hunts….
In town, a man
is going out for the evening and asks his wife Shakes if she will be all right
alone at home. He fantasizes about stabbing her to death but walks out without
incident. He drives along the street and sees a young couple crossing with the
light. He imagines running them down and, to calm himself, he keeps repeating “My
mind is quiet and still” while the Mayan monster called Jinni Dagaal haunts his
thoughts….
Bruce and
Charlie are brought to the camp to spend the night and they will be taken into
town the next day. They are offered beds but Bruce says he would prefer to
sleep outdoors for their safety; he is again warned about the monster but
insists. Charlie has spotted the old motorcycle and Leo tells her it is a World
War 2 era bike that belonged to his uncle Sal; he rides it when the monsters
come….
An elderly
woman speaks to Bruce in the Hulk’s voice, warning him to run or something bad
will happen to the people who took him in. Charlie asks Leo about “when the
monsters come” and Leo tells her that Sal arrives to fight them. Then the bike
bursts into flames once more. Charlie runs to tell Bruce but he is gone, his clothes
left behind…
In the desert,
Bruce transforms into Hulk and a World War 2 Ghost Rider, with army gear and a
tommy gun, arrives to run down Hulk while shooting at him. GR tells Hulk that
he protects the kid and that Hulk is about to die….
