Covered

Symbiote Six

Lachlan flew his jet through New York which had been covered in symbiote. He pulled out his phone. "Fury?" He said. There was no response. He called Coulson. Then Hill. "That's not a good sign." He then tried the Avengers. Still nothing. Finally he called his team. Still no response. He threw his phone to the ground. "Awesome." He said sarcastically. He looked on the streets where there were symbiote creatures running around causing chaos. There were no sign of any human life. Everyone was a symbiote. He looked in the ground and saw something that caught his eye. He saw a symbiote Doc ock, Sandman, Rhino, Shocker, Vulture and Electro. "Great symbiote 6. I'm going to need some help with this one." He flew towards the Helicarrier. "Where is it?" Said Lachlan. He flew around some more. "Oh-no." Said Lachlan. The Helicarrier had crashed into a hotel. Lachlan flew over towards it. He landed on top. He got out. There was piles of symbiote over the Helicarrier. Lachlan looked in the jet. He picked up a flame thrower. "You're kidding. Where was this when I was up against Ivy?" He got out and headed to the entrance. The symbiote piles leaped at him. Lachlan burned them with the flames. He started running shooting all the symbiotes. He got to the entrance door. A massive symbiote hand reached for him. Lachlan jumped inside and webbed the door shut. He started walking around the Helicarrier still with his gun aimed. "Fury?" He yelled at a whisper. He kept walking. "Maria? Coulson?" He kept whispering. He heard coughing. He ran in the direction. He saw a SHIELD Agent pinned against the wall by a pole in his chest. Lachlan ran over. "Stay with me man." Said Lachlan. "What happened?"

"Your team." Said the agent. "They came back but weren't themselves." He started coughing up blood. Lachlan tried to remove the pole but the agent grabbed it. "I've already tried. It's no use. Your team came back but were different. The symbiote had gotten to them. They released a bomb causing the symbiote to go over the city." The man continued to cough up blood.

"What else?"

"Ravencroft." The man said just before he died.

"Son of a bitch!" He said.

There was the sound of glass crashing. Followed by a "Help!" Yelled a female voice.

"Maria." Said Lachlan getting up. He bolted towards the scream. It was coming from the main room. That's where he saw Maria fighting off a symbiote Vulture who has smashed through the glass and was pulling her out. She turned and saw Lachlan.

"Help!" she yelled.

Lachlan ran over but was knocked back by a shockwave. He crashed into a wall. He looked up and saw Shocker standing there. "Told you I'd kill you." Said Shocker. "And with the symbiote this will be a hell lot more easier." He went to shoot Lachlan but Lachlan dodged. He got up and kicked Shocker in the chest. He ran over to Vulture but Vulture had got control of Maria. He then flew out of the window and flew off.

"Spider-man!" Yelled Maria. Lachlan got ready to jump but his Spidey Sense went off. He jumped back before being hit by a robotic claw. He landed on the ground. Doc Ock, Sandman, Rhino and Electro who were covered in Symbiote walked in and joined Shocker.

"Oh great. I'm guessing you all want a round three?" Asked Lachlan. "Or round two since you're a team."

"Before you kill him bring me so I can remove his smart ass tongue!" Ordered Ock.

"Really? After all we've been through?" Said Lachlan sarcastically.

Rhino charged towards him. Lachlan tried to jump over him but the symbiote reached out and grabbed his leg. "Not this time. With my new abilities you can't dodge anything." Mocked Rhino. Rhino ordered the symbiote to bring Lachlan towards him. Lachlan used this to his advantage. When he got close enough to him he kicked Rhino fazing him.

"Who said anything about running?" Said Lachlan. Electro ran towards him.

"Think yellow electricity bad Web-head?" He shot black electricity at him. "Well black electricity worse." Lachlan dodged them but the electricity chased him whenever he turned.

"Uh-oh." Said Lachlan. The electricity chased him. "Hey Electro. How about a taste of your own medicine." Lachlan swung past Electro and the electricity hit Electro. Instead of overpowering him and knocking him back Electro got more powerful.

"Nice try." Said Electro hit Lachlan with his electricity. Lachlan landed on the ground.

"I need some form of loud noise." Said Lachlan.

Doc Ock grabbed him by the feet. "How there are no giant clocks, no radio station. Hell all church bells have been removed." He threw Lachlan into a wall. Sandman appeared and stuck him there. "Sandman. Please remove his mask and let's have a look before we kill him." Sandman went to remove his mask but suddenly a hole appeared in Marko's hand. Marko turned and saw Loki standing in the window.

"Put down the Spider or lose more than your hand." He mocked.

"You think you can take on an army of symbiotes?" Said Doc. "Rhino. Destroy this fool."

"With pleasure." Said Rhino charging towards him. Loki smiled. When Rhino was close enough he made a portal. Rhino went through the portal. Loki put another portal to where Sandman had Lachlan. He came through it and ran through. Marko's sand dropped and Lachlan was released. Lachlan got up.

"Nice timing!" He yelled to Loki.

"Always happy to help a fellow Trickster." Said Loki.

"Fair enough." Said Lachlan. "Let's kick some ass."

"What's the matter web head? Can't defeat us without a team?" Mocked Electro.

"Big talk from someone who needs an extra five people to beat me." Mocked Lachlan.

"Shots fired." Said Loki.

"That's it!" Yelled Electro. Electro rose in the air. He started absorbing electricity from everything.

"What's the plan exactly?" Asked Loki.

"Um. I hadn't thought about that." Said Lachlan. Electro become so powerful he turned blue. "Well that's new." Said Lachlan. But something else happened. Electro was so overpowered with electricity the symbiote began to fall off. "The symbiote is weak against electricity. Follow my lead."

"This is something else." Said Electro. He began laughing manically. "No escape this time!" He began shooting electricity at Lachlan. Lachlan dodged them. Loki hovered up and kicked Electro. Doc Ock charged at Lachlan. He threw his claws at him. Lachlan grabbed a hold of one and another. He webbed them together. The third one went for him but Lachlan webbed it to the wall. The final one went for him but Lachlan grabbed it and tied it to the other ones.

"Suck on that." Yelled Lachlan. Suddenly the symbiote created more tentacles. The symbiote removed the original tentacles from the wall. "Oh come on!" Yelled Lachlan. The symbiote started morphing Ock. He turned red. He had transformed into Monster Ock. "Really? First Zappy over there and now you?"

"This power. It's nothing like I've ever felt." Said Doc. "I need more." He reached out to Shocker, Rhino and Sandman. He then started electrocuting him with the tentacles. The symbiote covered Ock making him the most powerful villain in the room.

"We are so screwed." Said Loki fighting Electro.

"Yep." Said Lachlan. "Run!"

Loki dropped Electro to the ground. The two started running to the window. Suddenly a red symbiote wall appeared. "Not so fast." Hissed Ock. "You haven't finished playing." The other four villains got up.

"Boss are you alright?" Asked Shocker.

"Never better. Now crush them. Shocker come with me" Ordered Doc. Him and Shocker ran off

The other villains ran at them. "We have to go after them." Said Lachlan.

"Go. I'll handle these ones." Said Loki.

"Ok." Said Lachlan. Lachlan ran at the villains. He jumped over Rhino. Sandman went to punch him but Lachlan ducked under him. Electro was still in his blue form and shooting at him. Lachlan dodged his attacks and headed out the door.

"I don't think so." Said Electro flying off after him leaving Loki to deal with Rhino and Sandman.

"Kill the God!" Yelled Rhino.

"This is going to be so… much… fun." Said Loki snapping his fingers.

Lachlan was swinging through the Helicarrier after Ock and Shocker. His Spidey Sense went off. He dived before being hit by blue electricity. He looked behind him and saw Electro coming after him. "What's wrong? You miss me?" Mocked Lachlan.

Electro was shooting electricity at him and Lachlan kept dodging. "You're going to need to do better than that Sparkles!" Mocked Lachlan. Electro got mad and shot a big ball of electricity at him. Lachlan dived but it was no use. He was hit by a it and crashed into the wall. "Ow." He said.

Electro walked over laughing. "I've done it." He said. "I've finally defeated you. I may have not defeated the real Spider-man, but I like you less than him. And with these powers I can destroy him." He threw his head back and started laughing. He looked down but Lachlan was gone. "Oh come on!" He yelled.

"Sparkles!" Yelled Lachlan swinging down at him. He kicked Electro knocking him back. "If you're going to destroy me don't monologue. Why do villains do that?" Lachlan continued to run after Shocker and Doc. He ran past a room. He quickly stopped and ran back. He saw Doc and Shocker standing in front of a door.

"What's this?" Asked Shocker.

"SHIELDS weapon room. If I'm right hopefully the Tesseract will be in here. Combined with the symbiote I will have enough power to rule this world. And if you help you may be my second in command." Said Doc.

Shocker considered it. "Deal." He said. Shocker went to blast the doors opened. As he pulled his hands back to perform a massive shock wave, Lachlan webbed his hands and pulled him back. Shocker fell to the ground. "Seriously? You are powered by all that symbiote and you still need him to open a door?" Mocked Lachlan swinging in.

"I was hoping you'd follow." Said Doc reaching over to a switch. He pulled it and suddenly all the exits closed.

"Well that's definitely not good." Said Lachlan.

"No escape this time." Said Ock.

"Come and get me ugly!" Mocked Lachlan.

"You won't be making smart ass comments when I remove your tongue!" Yelled Ock charging at Lachlan, striking his claws at him. Lachlan dived out of the way. He looked around. He needed some way to remove the symbiote off of Doc. Doc ran at Lachlan. Lachlan tried to dive but one of the claws grabbed his leg. He was flung at the wall.

"Ow." He said getting up. His Spidey Sense went off. He looked up and saw Ock swinging at him again. Lachlan successfully dodged his attack. Shocker got up and ran at Lachlan. He shot a shockwave at him. Lachlan dodged and the shockwave hit Ock. The symbiote screamed. Doc regained control. "That could be useful." Said Lachlan.

"You idiot!" Yelled Ock. He smacked Shocker with his arms sending Shocker flying. Shocker got up.

"Idiot am I?" He said getting up. He shot a shockwave at Doc. Doc jumped out of the way.

"This should buy me some time." Said Lachlan. Suddenly the wall next to him blew up. Electro stepped through it. "Oh right. Sparkles. You're still here."

"You bet I'm still here." Said Electro. "You're not going anywhere." He went to shoot Lachlan but was interrupted when shocker crashed into him.

"Well that was lucky." Said Lachlan. Suddenly there was another crash. "Now what?" He looked over and saw Rhino on the ground. "Rhino. I forgot you were still here."

Rhino got up and ran in Lachlan direction. "Get him away from me." He said. He ran right past Lachlan. Lachlan webbed him on his back pulling him over. He stood above him.

"Loki having too much fun?" Mocked Lachlan. Suddenly Sandman walked in the room. But he was made of ice. Lachlan started laughing.

"He's dangerous." Mumbled Sandman.

"I wouldn't say dangerous when describing Loki. More along the lines of mentally deranged." Joked Lachlan. His Spidey Sense went off. A ball of energy flew at him. It came from the hole. "What the?" He jumped. "Ok. I've been wrong before." Loki flew through the hole covered in symbiote. "Great." He said sarcastically.

Ock looked at him. "I don't have time for this." He said. He walked towards the hole Electro made. "I'll let you deal with the help, Spider." He said walking out.

"I'll need to deal with Doctor Ugly later." He said to himself. He turned to the villains but saw Loki flying at him. Before he could react Loki punched him sending him flying into the wall behind him. "Ow." He said as he crashed into it. He stood up but was punched by Loki again sending him across the room. He went through the whole that Loki threw Rhino through. He stood up off the ground. Loki walked out holding his staff in his hands. He just stared at Lachlan. "Come on Loki you can fight this." Said Lachlan. Loki stared at him. He lifted the staff and aimed it at him. "Don't do it." Loki held the staff out. The symbiote tried to shoot him but Loki tried to resist. "Come on Loki!" He yelled. But the symbiote took over at him. The symbiote shot a lightning ball at Lachlan. "Uh-oh." He said. He quickly jumped out of the way. He continued shooting lighting at him. Lachlan jumped and swung at Loki kicking him sending him flying. Loki hit a wall and fell on the ground. Lachlan ran over to him. He picked up the staff. But the symbiote reached off Loki and grabbed the staff. Loki grabbed it with his hands. He then stood up. He punched Lachlan in the face sending him flying. He hit the roof and fell to the ground. He looked across the room and saw the flame thrower he had earlier. He then looked at Loki. Loki started walking towards Lachlan. Lachlan got up and ran towards it. Loki shot a lightning ball between him and the gun. It electrocuted Lachlan making him fall over. Lachlan was lying on the ground. Loki walked over to him. He picked him up by his shirt. He punched Lachlan in the face. Then again. Every punch was harder. Lachlan managed to speak. "Loki. Stop." He said. Loki kept punching him. "Come on Loki. Fight it." He said while being punched. Lachlan started losing consciousness. Loki pulled his arm back. He looked at Lachlan. How weak he was. He went to punch but stopped. Once again Loki had fought back. He fought hard. He dropped Lachlan. Lachlan regained a little hit of consciousness. He was lying on the ground. He looked over at the flame thrower. With all his energy he shot a web at it. Once it attached he started pulling on it. Loki continued to fight the symbiote. "Hey ugly." Said Lachlan. Loki turned. He saw Lachlan holding the gun. Before the symbiote could react Lachlan shot the gun and fire went over him. The symbiote screamed and started pealing off Loki. Eventually it was all off him. Loki fell to his knees. He looked over at Lachlan.

"Guess I owe you one now." Joked Loki. Lachlan chuckled. Loki got up. He went to help Lachlan up. But before he could a symbiote wave appeared behind Loki. Lachlan tried to warn him but the wave grabbed Loki. Loki was now trapped inside the symbiote. Lachlan aimed the gun but the symbiote rushed past him knocking him out cold. The symbiote exited with Loki leaving Lachlan on the ground unconscious alone. He was lying on the ground for 10 minutes. When suddenly something horrible happened. Shocker, Rhino, Sandman and Electro all entered the room. They saw Lachlan on the ground unconscious.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Spider-man junior." Mocked Shocker. "Right where we want him." They all walked over. They stood over him.

"This is to good to be true." Said Electro as he created a blue ball of electricity in his hands. "Let's finish this." He went to finish Lachlan off with the electricity but Rhino grabbed him.

"Why do you get to finish him off?" He said furiously.

"Because. I did more damage to him while you were fighting the one in a dress." Mocked Electro.

"You smartass!" Said Rhino as he went to punch him. But before he could a wire hit Electro. The villains were confused. All of a sudden the wire started absorbing him.

"What the hell?" Said Electro. He tried to escape but the more he tried the faster he started disappearing. Suddenly he was gone. The three remaining looked at where the wire came from. A man was standing there holding it. He pulled out an Ak-47 and started shooting. Five more people appeared and started shooting at them. Rhino and Shocker were hiding while Sandman ran at them. One pulled out a fire hose and started spraying him. He started to disintegrate. He kept doing so until he was completely done for.

"Fall back!" Said Shocker. Him and Rhino headed for the window Vulture had escaped from earlier. They both jumped from the Helicarrier and landed in the building it was crashed into. Someone scooped up the remain of Sandman. Two people walked over to Lachlan. There were growling sounds nearby. "They're coming." Said one person.

"We need to get him somewhere before they find him." Said the other one. They picked him up.

"Come on." Said the first one. The five of them ran into the Helicarrier foyer. They them headed to a wall. One of them pulled out a remote. They clicked it and a door appeared. They went through it. The same one pushed the button again and the door vanished. They walked through the room for a while. They then placed him on a table. "Leave him." Said a different person who was already in the room. The soldiers walked off. Lachlan laid on the table.

A few hours later the person who told the soldiers to leave him woke him up. "Wake up kid." He said.

Lachlan woke up without his mask on. "Fury?" He said. "You're alive."

"That's right." Said Fury. Lachlan started to sit up. Fury helped him. "Easy Lachlan."

"How long was I out for?" He asked.

"Seven hours." He said.

"Seven hours?" Said Lachlan. "Why didn't you wake me up sooner. The six are still out there and they have Maria!"

"Calm down Lachlan." Said Fury. "Electro and Sandman have been stopped. He pointed to a vile of sand and the machine Electro was in. Anyway. We need you rested. Everyone other hero has been taken over by the symbiote." Said Fury. "Also all our communication devices are down so I'm not sure about the rest of the world."

Lachlan calmed down. He looked around the room. He saw Fury and a bunch of other agents. But someone was missing other than Hill. "Where's Coulson?" Fury looked away. Lachlan was nervous. "Where's Coulson?"

"He didn't make it." Said Fury.

"What happened?" He asked.

"It all started when your friends returned."

*Three days ago in the Helicarrier."

"We were waiting for a response from either you or them saying wither of you were finished. Suddenly your friend Joe messaged saying he was finished and they were back. But he said he couldnt return and that he needed SHIELD for an emergency at Timesquare. So we headed there. When we arrived your friends were facing away. We called out to them. They turned around. They seemed normal enough. But once they turned they stared as us. We asked what happened but they didn't respond. Suddenly your friend Reece picked up a bomb behind him and placed it in front of him. They didn't respond when we asked what it was. Coulson demanded answers. He walked over to them. I told him not to. When he got there I realised the bomb had a timer on it. I called out for him to come back. But before he could your friend Will grabbed him on the arm. Suddenly they all turned black with symbiote. The bomb beeped. Everyone except them moved back. It then exploded sending them flying and Coulson. That was the last I saw of them. Suddenly I noticed the symbiote. It started spreading. The rest of us got on the Helicarrier and tried to escape. But suddenly these symbiote creature jumped on the Carrier. We tried to fight back but they were to powerful. We then crashed. The creatures ran off. The remaining agents, Hill and myself came in here. I sent out groups at a time to check the situation. The last group I sent was before you arrived."

*end of flashback*

"And you know how that ended. The agents I sent are dead and Maria is gone." Explained Fury.

Lachlan sat there thinking about what he said. "And all the other heroes are infected?" He asked.

"Yes. That's why we need you. We need you to find out who infected your team and got them to place the bomb." He handed Lachlan his mask. "Find the Son of a bitch who infected the city and killed Coulson. And bring him in."

Lachlan put the mask on. "With pleasure."
