Prologue: How It Ends

It's in this wake that we find ourselves losing the will to resume this hell. When every breath is a dying wish, it's harder to follow the point of our existence. Our own solution is insufficient again… I will finish this before it starts.

The darkness of the night held the city in a cold and bitter grasp. The sounds of helicopters, guns, and the screams of the innocent filled the air. It was here that Spiderman found himself looking over the mayhem created by the S.H.I.E.L.D. and their suspect. He jumped off the rooftop plummeting towards the streets. As soon as Spiderman landed on the ground a car came flying towards him. He parried out of the way just barley clearing the now airborne sedan swearing as he moved.

"Shit, this is not going well." A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent yelled.

Parker moved closer jumping over cars and throwing bystanders out of the chaos along the way. Dammit, why am I always right? Parker thought as he saw that it was Venom creating the blood bath.

"Is this it? Is this all you got Fury?" Venom growled as he grabbed the nearest streetlight swinging it wildly. Spiderman raced forward at Venom leaping in the air delivering a powerful blow to his jaw.

"Couldn't you just plan your killing sprees on the weekdays? I mean I could be enjoying my weekend right now, but you have to go mess things up for everybody don't you?" Parker said sarcastically.

"Well, Spiderman you're a little late. I thought you weren't going to make it to my party." Venom laughed as he readjusted his jaw and now sprinting towards Parker.

Before Spiderman could react Venom tackled him to the ground. Parker tried to push him off but Venom had pinned him down. The saliva dripped from his fangs like a leaking faucet--liberally soaking Parker's mask with the green slop.

"Come on Spiderman say something funny now!" Venom challenged the smartass hero. Spiderman was about to lay down a lame pun, but was cut off when Venom drove his fist at Spiderman skull leaving a satisfying crack as he went unconscious. It was one of those moments they looked forward to everyday but seldom happened. Happy with the result he stood over the stunned hero. A sharp pain rose in his back. He screamed in an inhuman tone as he turned around to see a pathetic agent wielding a high voltage stun gun at him. The shock wasn't enough to stop him, he quickly snatched the miniscule human; one hand around his neck the other completely over his head. The sensation was similar to cracking a chestnut then twisting the fragments into a red mess. Venom noticed Spiderman slowly squirming on the pavement beside him. He pressed his foot on Parker's back. Blood began to rise up around his talons as he dug them into Peter's back.

"Parker you can't leave yet. You got to stick around for the finale!"


"Fury, this is Lieutenant Jackson. I'm in position; target is acquired ready for kill shot." The sharpshooter was on a rooftop eight hundred meters away and ready to take the target.

"Green light Lieutenant, take the shot."

Venom turned around just in time to see the flash of a rifle, a split-second later the incendiary round impacted mid abdomen. The shot went completely through. Venom did not even seem to realize the force of the bullet. He took one step away from Parker before another shot rang out bringing the black beast to his knees. Venom looked down at the two holes in his chest now smoldering from the blistering heat of the rounds.

"Target is still up; I repeat target is still moving."

"Cut him down."

This time the shot went right below his head tearing a large portion of his esophagus away from the rest of him. That one put him on his back. He laid there turning his head to the side coughing up a mix of blood and black substance. Parker laid their shocked. He never expected it to happen like this, he came to the realization that wishing someone dead and actually killing them is two different things. He saw his enemy there dying in a pool of his own blood. Spiderman was going in and out of conciseness, he was losing focus when he saw that Venom had turned his head and was looking straight at him.

"This is how it begins." Venom muttered.

Immediately after this biohazard teams rushed over and began to prep the lifeless alien and its host for transport. Spiderman couldn't hold on anymore, he blacked out there on the streets of New York City.

Authors Note: Kinda got a few ways that I could go with this but I figured this is the best way to start my first Spiderman fic. Next chapter will be up soon so don't go away. I appreciate you giving your time to read this material. I hope you enjoy what you read. My only request is that you review. Give your opinion. It takes me hours to hammer out these chapters and your 5 min review could tremendously improve my stories. I know everyone is tired of seeing that on every document. I wish to improve my writing, and the best way to do this is to take outside opinion (YOURS) and apply this to future or current writings. Do not feel bad about giving me BAD REVIEWS, trust me those are MORE HELPFUL than someone who praises my work.
