“This not-jolly green giant just wont freaking die!” I shouted angrily as I stabbed the Hulk for the tenth time! He wouldn't go down!

Shit! my HP and MP were both getting close to dangerously low levels. I used [observe] on the Zombie Hulk but it didn't work. It was like something was blocking me from seeing anything except his name. Knowing I was in an apocalyptic marvel universe, it was probably some evil or insane god.
[The Zombie Hulk - $@(@4@0/’&(&@/!(&]
The Hulk charged forward again, attempting to grab me. I had painfully learned not to let that happen before. I spread my wings out and launched myself backward, escaping his grasp.
Throughout our entire fight so far, the Hulk had been protecting his head above all else. Everywhere else I stabbed him, he didn't seem to care. That obviously told me that he had the same weak point as any other zombie, yet I just couldn't land the blow on him that I needed to put him down.
I had wasted over a dozen supercharged [Lightspears] and burned through a lot of precious MP…
“Die, you monster!” I heard Sif shout before a rusty bicycle flew towards the Hulk and harmlessly bounced off him. To my shock, the Hulk was actually puzzled about such a pathetic attack and just took a moment to stare at the bicycle in confusion.
I raised an eyebrow at her for her choice of an improvised weapon.
[Sif used confusing Rusty Bicycle! It was super effective!]
Sif blushed at me in embarrassment. “That was all I could find!” She pouted.
I laughed. “I didn't say anything…”
“You were thinking something rude...” Sif said as she stumbled up next to me, covered in the blood and guts of hundreds of other zombies. She looked winded and took a few deep breaths. “I’ve—never had to fight off so many Draugr at once! Not with my bare hands! And I can't believe the beast destroyed my sword! It was a gift from Queen Frigga! A relic of the Valkyrie themselves…” Sif lamented as she held up the handle of her ruined sword for inspection.
It might not have been just the Hulk who destroyed her blade. It could have also been damaged when fighting Grayfia. Either way, she needed a replacement. She wouldn't be doing any significant damage against him with just her bare hands.
I conjured a sword made of light and held it up to her. “Here, this is the best I can do. We gotta take the Hulk's head off to stop him.”
Sif took the [Lightsword] from my hand and held it up to her face. Her frown turned into a smile. “It's warm and feels like you, Layla…” Sif said as she started caressing the [Lightsword] in a way that I might describe as lewd...
I blushed at the sight. ‘No! Bad horny thoughts! Now is not the time!’ We had a Zombie Hulk to kill!
The Hulk snapped out of his confusion before grabbing the bicycle and throwing it at us. I laughed as I casually blocked it with a [Lightshield].
[Layla used Protect! It was super effect–]
‘Shut up, System!’
“Let's finish this monster now!” Sif cheered as she brandished her energy blade and ran forward.
She went right, and I went left.
“Grrrrrrr!” Zombie Hulk grunted and threw a devastating punch at Sif. The air around his fist vibrated from the friction! This time she didn't try to block and slid underneath his fist. She swung her light blade upwards and left a deep burning gash trailing up his arm.
At the same time, I flew forward and went for his legs. If we could stop him from moving, then we could finally finish him! With a spear in each hand, I stabbed forward towards his knees. The Hulk shifted out of the way of one, but his right knee ended up skewered.
Sif circled back and slashed the tendons on his other legs. The undead green giant dropped to his knees. He was down both his legs and an arm!
“Graaaaaaaarrr!”
“Die, monster!” Sif took advantage of him stumbling and leapt up high to finally cleave off his head!
This was it! We finally got the bastard–
FWISH!
“Aargh!” Sif screamed in pain as an arrow, of all things, slammed into her neck, and she dropped to the ground, clutching her throat!
“Sif!” I screamed her name in panic as I rushed over to her. The Hulk tried to swipe for me, but it was still crippled. The Zombie Hulk had a much slower healing factor than the normal Hulk did thankfully.
I told Sif to clench her teeth as I summoned my [Purger of Darkness] Sacred Gear. I quickly yanked the arrow from her neck and immediately started to heal her. Paired with the Extremis inside her, her neck healed quickly.
Sif sat up with a cough while I examined the arrow in my hand. It was tipped with vibranium…on top of that, the archer had managed to hit her exposed neck with perfect accuracy while we were fighting at super speeds. The list of archers who could pull that off wasn't long.
FWISH!
I heard the sound of another arrow sailing towards us. I threw up another [Lightshield] to block it. To my shock, my shield had a crack immediately from where the arrow had struck it! Vibranium was OP!
That was when I saw it—them. The hordes of zombies in the streets that had been surrounding us parted, and a new group marched their way forward.
“What the hell, did hard mode just get turned on!” I complained when I saw who had shown up.
[You should probably run away for now…]
Hawkeye, Captain America, Black Widow, and Thor. All of them looked very dead, of course. Above us, I could hear the sound of thunder rumble out as the clouds started to darken, courtesy of Zombie Thor. He was gripping Mjolnir tightly, which was still working for him for some reason… Sif froze up upon seeing the undead Thor.
“How the hell is he still worthy of his hammer after becoming a flesh-eating zombie!?” I complained out loud. “Also, I think it's time we make a retreat from here.” I said to Sif. The Hulk looked like he was already starting to heal, and we were struggling when it was just him.
“That's a great idea, Angel!” A robotic voice boomed out loudly from the sky. I looked up and saw a suit of armor flying over us—although it looked like it had seen better days.
“Tony!? Is that you?”
The Iron Man—WHO HAD TITS!?—swooped down next to Sif and me. Without giving us any room to argue, the Iron Woman wrapped an arm around each of us before I felt a bit of whiplash as we blasted off into the sky not a second later.
“ROOOOOAAAAARRRR!” Behind us, I could hear the angry roars of the Hulk.
CRACK!
“Woah!” Iron Woman dove to the side right before a bolt of thunder fell from the sky, narrowly avoiding us. Hanging over the woman's shoulder, I could see Zombie Thor was flying in the sky after us. He raised Mjolnir towards us, and it started arcing with electricity.
Not on my watch!
Using the last of my MP, I summoned dozens of [Lightspears] in the air all around us. I willed every single one of them to fly towards Thor and explode.
A massive explosion of thunder and light ripped through the sky and covered our escape…
[You have leveled up!]
I was kind of bummed we couldn't kill the Hulk and lost out on that formula reward, but I was more glad that we’d gotten away for now. What I really wanted to know though, was who was the woman in the armor who pulled us out of there?

Layla's mana burst is her sacrificing 10x the amount of mana to raise her stats. she could raise all her stats by 100 points if she used 1000 MP. She only had 500 MP though and if she used it she'd have been drained. Sorry if that was confusing the way I wrote it. She'll use it a lot in the future but here she couldn't really.

Why didn't she use mana burst ? She could have sacrificed 100 MP at the start of the battle in excange for a 10× multiplier for all her stats and easily killed hulk.
