A New Host

The symbiote was weak and frail after Venom was killed in the battle with Spiderman. Spiderman was too sorrowfull about his best friend's death to notice that the symbiote was slowly creeping away. The symbiote barely survived that pumpkin bomb that Peter threw, and after the battle, it had wandered all the way to South Dakota, where an unsuspecting person, would become the new Venom...

In Hurley South Dakota...

Ryan and Anthony were playing basketball and the score was 1-29. Needless to say, it was obvious who had the higher score. Anthony always had the lead no matter what Ryan tried. Hell Ryan even tried cheating sometimes, and even that didn't work!

'Ok, time out dude... I... need a minute...to breathe.' Gasped Ryan as he tried to heave himself off the ground. Anthony just kept chuckling to himself.

'C'mon Ryan! I almost broke a sweat there!' Shouted Anthony who was just getting pumped up. Ryan was too tired to say anything and just sat down by one of the benches and got himself drink of Mountain Dew. While he was drinking, something was making it's way towards his backpack. Ryan stopped drinking for a minute, the thing stopped quickly, but Ryan just kept drinking again, and the thing crept into his backpack without him noticing. Ryan then put his pop down and went back to the game, Anthony was just busy making threes from the other side of the court. Ryan the tried to stop him, but Anthony just blew past him, and scored. After probably their 700th game, Ryan said goodbye and walked home to get some shut eye, Anthony did the same.

At Ryan's house...

It was 9:00 at Ryan's house, his mom and dad had gone out, his brother was at a friend's hous, and so was his sister. While Ryan was sleeping, something creeped out of his backpack and made it's way over to Ryan's bed. It made it's way up and wrapped itself around his arm. Ryan was busy dreaming about that night he saw a woman die, he did nothing. He just watched as she was choked to death. Ryan kept hearing whispers in his head after that.

'What have you done...you could have saved her...your nothing but a coward...'

The symbiote felt these negative feelings and after it completely covered his arm, it had changed black, it then made it's way over the rest of Ryan's body creating a sort of costume over his body. After it had completely covered him, Ryan opened his eyes to find himself wearing some sort of black costume, and also he was hanging hanging upside down staring down at the city down below him. He shouted and jumped up trying to hang on to the walls for dear life only to realize, he was sticking to the walls! Ryan couldn't beleive what was happening, he stood up on the wall with just his feet, and he didn't fall down. The he tried doing a backflip, easily doing two in a row. Ryan then tried to do a triple flip, this didn't work too well and he coulldn't grab the wall and he thought he would die, but then when he made a fist at the wall, something shot out, a black web-like substance came out of Ryan's fist and grabbed the wall pulling him towards it. Ryan was panting really hard and then something bit him, or rather he bit himself. Ryan was too busy playing to notice his teeth were now extremely long fangs, and his nails on his fingers were at least 3 inches longer, and sharper. The biggest thing of this new costume he had, was a giant white symbol on his stomach and his back, it looked like a tarantula. Ryan then tried to shoot the web out again, making the same fist he did when he fell, and the web shot out again, but this time Ryan held onto it, then he took a quick look down, and he prayed, OH HOW HE PRAYED!! Then Ryan jumped hanging on to the web for his dear life, he was goin so fast, he was laughing the whole time, shooting out web after web, after web. But then he saw something coming at him, something red and blue on some sort of web like his, it came at him faster and faster, until Ryan saw what it was. Ryan had heard the stories before, but right there coming at him was Your friendly Neighborhood Spider-man in the flesh! But before Ryan could say anything, he was smashed in the gut, and he and Spider-man were both tumbling down to the city below. Spider-man tried to hit Ryan, but he dodged and kicked Spider-man in the face, and then grabbed his head throwing him at the building, Spider-man smashed into a bunch of desks in the building, then Ryan came in as well, hanging from the ceiling, Ryan was breathing hard.

'Well that's some reception...I thought you were one the good guys.' Said Ryan, inbetween breathes. Spidey got up and was panting as well.

'What are you doing back here Venom?!' Spidey shouted, Ryan was, in the very least, confused.

'Not to point out my stupidity but, who's Venom?' Asked Ryan, Spidey then looked confused even behind that mask.

'What?! You have the symbiote, you look just like Venom! So tell me how I'm supposed to beleive your not Venom?' Asked Spidey, Ryan just kinda stood there.

'Well for one thing, I don't know what your talking about, and two...' Before Ryan could finish what he was about to say, a green laser came at the both of them, both of their spider senses went off and they jumped up to the next floor of the building. Barely avoiding the laser.

'What was that?!' Shouted Ryan, Spidey looked around and saw one of his new enemies Scorpion firing lasers from his tail. Spidey then looked at Ryan, he nodded, and so did Ryan. Then Ryan grabbed Spidey's arm and threw him at Scorpion, then Ryan fired a web at Scorpion's eyes, preventing him from hitting Spidey. Spidey then smashed his fist into Scorpion's gut, and before Scorpion could hit him, Ryan came and slammed his fist into Scorpion's face. Sending him 10 feet away. Ryan smirked, and Spidey just walked over to Scorpion and picked him up like he was nothing but a doll.

'What's black, white, and behind bars?' Asked Spidey. Ryan jumped up and down.

'OH! OH! OH! I DO I! I DO! I DO! Chocolat Milk!' Shouted Ryan, Spidey just shook his head.

'Cereal?' Scorpion Asked, Spidey shook his head again.

'Nope, you!' Shouted Spidey, as he tied a web around Scorpion's hands, but then Scorpion's tail charged up and was about to blast Spidey, but then Ryan grabbed Scorpion's tail, and crushed it. The energy just flew everywhere, then it dissapeared. Ryan then kicked Scorpion in the face, knocking him out cold.

'Well thanks I guess.' Said Spidey, Ryan chuckled for a sec.

'Just say you owe me one ok?' Ryan said, and he offered his hand to Spider-man, Spidey took Ryan's hand and the both shook their hands. Then Ryan had a big question to ask.

'By the way...where am I?' Said Ryan, Spidey looked at him stupidly, then he just shrugged.

'Your in New York obviously.' Spidey said, Ryan was in complete shock.

'What!!'
