In New York, atop a building in Hells Kitchen, a girl crouched, she was about seventeen, long black hair flowing down over her form fitting black body-suit. Her blue eyes stared out into the night, a slight breeze blew her fringe, which was grown long on the left side of her face, across her vision, she moved it with one of her fingers.
"So this is our new home?" she said to nobody in particular, "or our new hunting ground" she said as she glanced down into the ally way.
A girl about her age was walking through it, suddenly, without warning, three men jumped her and pinned her to the wall. The girl sighed "oh well, here we go again". The top part of her suit moved, one part formed a lower jaw, lined with teeth, the other moved over her head, and formed two jagged white patches for eyes, and a set of fangs that fitted in with the lower jaw. Tentacles broke off in various places and moved around her, a white skull formed on the chest, white lines that looked like lighting reached around and linked up at her back. Grinning, the thing that had been the girl leapt off the wall, and confronted the three muggers. They all paled at the sight of her distorted smile.
"Hello there," she growled.
The muggers looked at her, then at each other, before dropping the purse they had stolen and running back up the alley towards the street. The monster stood, and three black tentacles shot out and pulled them back into the darkness. said the monster as it backed into a dark part of the ally.
All the girl saw was tentacles moving, a flash of the white teeth, then a splash off blood across her face, she thought she heard a guy shout "You?!", and a few seconds later It was over. The monster emerged from the darkness and looked at her. The mouth was shut, so the teeth couldn't be seen. The girl backed against the wall in terror. The monster grinned, and revealed the teeth again, and then held out her purse, which had been picked up by a tentacle. "You don't need to be worried about them, not anymore" said the monster.
"W…who…are…you?" asked the girl. The monster grinned, and held a talon like hand up to its face, the Bio-Suit split apart into seven mini-tentacles, and moved around its hand.
"Us? We are Ravage" said the monster, clenching its fist, then it climbed the side of the building, disappearing when it got to the top. The girl was frozen to the wall.
About 5 minutes later, a girl in a red and blue suit swung in on a web. "Hey, are you okay?" asked May 'Mayday' Parker, Spidergirl.
The girl was pointing to the dark part of the ally way. Spidergirl sighed and had a look, and wished she hadn't. If they were men in that part, they weren't any more. "Oh man, this is more than I can handle, I'd better get the cops…" she used her cell-phone to bring the cops to the ally. Spidergirl clung to one of the walls as she watched the cops console the girl, and remove the 'parts' that were the muggers.
"What could do something like this?" asked a cop, the girl was shaking
"R…Ravage….that's what it said it was called" she said.
One of the cops looked towards Spidergirl, she shook her head, and webbed to the top of a building. When he was out off sight, she pulled off her mask and let her stomach empty itself.
"Oh…God…" she gasped, taking big gulps of fresh air, "that's all I need, a new psyc…" she felt something touch her left shoulder.
"That's a good girl…get it all up…"
May turned to look, and found a tentacle resting on her shoulder. "AHH!" she turned and came face-to-face with a monster.
It reminded Spider-girl of Venom, an all black suit, but this had tentacles constantly moving, white bands around the upper arms, forearms, shoulders and thighs, the mouth was lined with teeth and there was a piece of the suit connecting the lower jaw to the top, as if to stop it from dropping too low when the mouth opened. The eyes where different and a girl was under the black suit. May went on a hunch.
"R…Ravage?" she asked, feeling the tentacles wrap around her back and pull her closer.
"You heard of us?…Wow…that was quick" said Ravage, a grin spreading across it's face. Spidergirl felt herself press against Ravages body.
"I mean…" it said, the head split, and revealed the face of a girl no older than May, the voice also changed, the echoic sound faded away, leaving the voice of the girl May was currently pressed against, "…Its been what? 15 minutes?" asked the girl, smiling. Mays gaze dropped down to the girls chest, to make sure there wasn't a big white spider. She saw a large white skull, with lines branching around to her back. May also saw a mouth lined with jagged teeth, that looked as if it was growing out of the chest of the suit.
She felt a tentacle under her chin, and it lifted her back face-to-face.
The girl had long black hair with a red streak in, that was covering the left side of her face, and blue eyes. Her skin was pale, almost white. Under her eyes, there was red eye shadow, she had drawn black lines that looked like dripping blood. A few pieces of Symbiote clung to her face and were stretched down to her body.
"My face is up here" she said smiling.
"Y…you killed…those guys" said May, staring into the girls blue eyes. They were the kind of eyes May found herself easily lost in.
The girl grinned,
"Ah…I didn't kill them…." the left side of her face was covered by the monster again, "We killed them"
Ravage's face slid back down to the girls body.
"Why did you kill them?" May asked. The girl raised her eyebrows.
"Why?" she said it as if May should know, "That's simple…We wanted to punish them" she said. May felt the tentacles slide off her body.
"Oh well, we've got to go, see you around!" she said as the suit formed around her neck.
"Take our advice, don't follow" said the girl turning. "Wait!" she called. The girl stopped, and turned
"What's your name?" asked May, standing
The girl smiled. "Kelly…Kelly Castle" she said as the suit closed around her head the echo coming back as the mouth shut. May looked at her. Castle…why is that so familiar…
"Okay…." she said.
Ravage grinned, showing off the teeth, then jumped off the building, May watched as Kelly used pieces of the suit as webbing.
May stood, anchored to the spot. What the hell just happened? she thought.
She jumped off the building and started to swing home,
Could she have found Venom? Nah, she seemed in control of it…and wasn't trying to kill me…weird.
As May swung home, Ravage sat on top of a building. The mouth split open, the two strands on each side holding the lower jaw so the head wouldn't split.
"Oh yeah, this place rocks" Kelly grinned as she watched Spidergirl swing away
She grinned as she watched the car she'd been waiting for all night. She formed her symbiote around her.
Your right Kel piped up in her head. Kelly smiled, but it caused the suit to grin insanely.
said Kelly, in the direction May went,
She said as she dove off the building.
---
Two men got out of the car and walked up the alley
"Well, we're here, where's this contact?" asked one
"I don't know, okay. He jus' said to be here" A body hanging by tentacles suddenly dropped in front of them "OH SH--!" shouted one, the other backed away
Kelly dropped behind them, she sang
"Holy shit! it's the Punisher!" said one, as he turned and ran.
said Kelly, as a black line burst from her arm and impaled him the wall.
She stood up straight and kicked the other man into a dumpster, She jerked her arm back and pulled the other guy into a group of garbage bins,
she shouted as tentacles tore him to pieces.
"What the hell!?" shouted the other, as another tentacle pinned him to the wall.
Kelly smiled, and closed three tentacles around his neck. She held an outstretched hand to the guys face.
Blood-kill-destroy-Punish-Everybody
Kelly started grinning like an insane asylum in-mate.
Take-revenge-kill-blood-
Yes, revenge! I want revenge! I want revenge on the person who killed them!
Blood-Tanya-kill-Selena-Kill-Petrova-Destroy-Harkins! KASSIDY!
All of them have to die! All of them must be punished! Kassidy has to die!
Kill-Tanya-Kill-Selena-Kill-Harkins-maim-murder-punish-kill-Kassidy…
The head on the suit split, and revealed Kelly's face, she grinned as the suit around her hand broke into about seven tentacles. "Wait…I know you! Your that bitch who's place we busted up!" said the guy, "We killed you!" he shouted, and spat into Kelly's face. A tentacle reared up and stopped it.
"What did you just call me?" asked Kelly, pushing her hand closer to the guys face.
"Say hello to the last girl, the one that survives in the end…don't you watch slasher films?" asked Kelly, sweetly.
We want Revenge-Blood-Kill-Destroy-Everyone
"Who the hell are you!" shouted the guy, as the tentacles moved closer, the black mass moving over her face as the razor like teeth burst out of it.
The tentacles on Kelly's hand moved about, Kelly smiled,
"Welcome to the end of your life, and we promise it's going to hurt"
-----------
May started to swing home, she stopped on top of a building "Hang on…she killed them!".
"No-one dies on my watch!" shouted May as she swung back to the last place she saw Kelly.
Her eyes widened under her mask when she saw what Kelly had done. I really gotta stop looking at her handy-work she thought. The two men, whose dead bodies were now horrifying May, where hanging by some-kind of black webbing, except one, who had been splattered all over the walls. May started shaking, "Oh my God…" she whimpered, she felt her stomach churn, and jerked once, twice and the third time she pulled her mask off and threw up for the second time. She dropped to her knees and held her stomach.
It started raining, diluting the blood in the alley.
"What should I do…?" thought May, standing up and pulling her mask on. She listened to the rain for a minute, then she felt a slight tingling in the back of her skull. May felt it, that meant that her will-be attacker wouldn't be close, the stronger the tingling, the closer the threat. May spun, froze and screamed, but it died in her throat. Ravage was three inches from her face, she saw the teeth appear, covered in blood. Tentacles grab her arms, and crossed them over her chest. She felt a hand around her throat and it lifted her from the floor.
"You don't give up, Do you?" asked Ravage, Kelly's echoic sounding voice sent chills down May's spine. May frowned,
"I don't, and I'm bringing you in for the murder of those men" she said.
The mouth on the suit split, and revealed Kelly's face, but the echoing sound continued. May saw Kelly close her eyes, and tilt her head to one side. Then she suddenly opened her eyes and pulled May's head down to eye contact.
"LISTEN GIRL! WE DON'T CARE! THEY DESERVED TO DIE!" shouted Kelly, tightening her grip on May's throat. "I'm…still bringing…you in…" said May, pulling Kelly's hand from her neck. Kelly dropped her and turned. "You can't…not if your DEAD!" screamed Kelly, spinning, the suits head snapped back down.
May did a kick-up and spun to avoid a tentacle that was aimed for her heart.
"Your fast…" said Kelly, May dropped to a crouch,
"You have no idea" she said, smiling underneath the mask.
Kelly smiled, which caused the suit to grin, "Good" she said, cracking her neck. May noticed that when Kelly's head was covered by the suits head, the voice was more of a male sounding voice, Kelly's voice echoing behind it, but when Kelly's head wasn't covered, it was her voice echoing, no trace of a male voice. May clenched her fists. A tentacle shot out towards her, as it got 4 feet from Spider girl, four razor shaped tentacles burst out of it, and Spider-girl dodged left to avoid it, before leaning to the right to avoid a second one, she did a back-flip and avoided the third. She looked a Kelly and saw that she hadn't moved, she still had her arms folded. It reminded Spider-girl of Lady Octopus, only Ravage was a lot more dangerous. Spider-girl jumped at Ravage, It sighed, and Tentacles grabbed May and threw her to the floor. May back flipped as best she could when two spiked tentacles aimed towards her. She landed and stared at the monster in front of her. Ravage lashed out with its hands and tentacles.
Spider-girl crouched and she jumped up and over Ravage, twisting her body and landing in a crouch before kicking out with her left foot out and into the back of Ravage's right leg. With a inhuman sounding scream of pain, Kelly dropped to one knee. Spider-girl rose to her feet, launching a kick at the back of her opponent's head. As she did so, tentacles grabbed her other leg, and started to throw her. Kelly made the mistake of turning her head, and Spider-girls foot connected with Ravage's jaw, knocking Kelly into a worn-down building on the roof.
The tentacles threw Spider-girl across the roof. As Ravage tried to stand, a part of wall collapsed, burying Ravage under the rubble. May ran over to check if she was alright.
"Kel…" she was cut off as Ravage's hand burst from the rubble and tentacles pulled May down,
"GGRRRAAAA! SPIDER!!" shouted Ravage standing up. May jumped up and back, tearing off the tentacles that where wrapped around her leg, waist and neck.
"AAHHHH!!!" Kelly screamed, as if the tentacles where torn off her own body, she held her head and her back arched, so it must of really hurt. May watched as the tentacles slid off her body, she noticed that the suit jerked forwards, so the tentacles didn't have a large distance cross. When the tentacles reached Kelly, she lashed out at May. May's Spider-sense warned her.
Easily back flipping, Spider-girl landed on her feet. "Look, I don't want to hurt you Kelly," she said, slowly moving back towards Ravage, keeping her eyes on the tentacles and Ravage's arms.
"I don't know why you're here, but I can't let you kill people" said May. Ravage just snarled.
The two eye-pieces split, but only Kelly's right eye could be seen, the left was covered by her hair, even in the suit.
"Sometimes, killing is the right course of action!" shouted Kelly, her voice echoing behind the male voice, it wasn't too deep or too high, but held a slight sinister tone. Ravage swung with a closed fist as it jumped forwards. Spider-girl grabbed her arm, but she judged the distance between her and Ravage wrong when she kicked Kelly back, and as a result, she dislocated Kelly's right arm. Kelly dropped back, then stood, her arm hanging lifeless by her side
"Oh! I'm sorry Kelly! I didn't mean…"
Ravage just growled and launched itself at Spider-girl again. Spider-girl tried to dodge, but Ravage was to fast and Spider-girl was forced down. She pulled her knee up to her chest, before kicking out and sending Ravage flying backwards. Quickly regaining her feet, she followed. Not letting Ravage get back to her feet, she began to lay into Ravage with rapid punches and kicks. Each punch or kick got a roar or a snarl from Ravage, who noticed a delay in Spider-girls attack, and sent two tentacles upward, one catching Spider-girls jaw, the other wrapping around her waist and throwing her to the floor. Ravage kicked up and landed face-to-face with May.
said Ravage, grinning.
"Wha…?" was the only word May spoke, as Ravages fist slammed her into the floor. Spider-girl felt two tentacles wrap around her body and lift her from the floor again. Ravage brought it's knee into her stomach three times, and then threw her into a wall. As May tried to stand, a fist knocked her down, then the left of her face, and a tentacle hit the right side of her face, she felt two tentacles wrap around her neck and lift her from the floor.
"Ohhhhh…" she said, her head dropping forwards. She looked back up and saw Ravage's face.
"Shame to cut this short…" said the echoic voice, that sounded distant, Mays vision was blurred as well. She shook her head, and her vision cleared, and she saw two blades form on Ravages elbows. It didn't take a brain-surgeon to work-out what they were for. "NO!" screamed May, lashing out, ripping the tentacles off again. Ravage stumbled back.
This time the suit jerked forwards violently, hitting May directly in the chest. Spider-girl dropped, and kicked Ravage in the stomach. Then straddled Kelly's waist, as she went to punch Ravage in the face, two tentacles hit her in the chin, forcing Spider-girl to backwards against a stone wall. Rapidly regaining her feet, Kelly walked towards her, the suit sliding off her face. Both of them where breathless, May pulled her mask off and stared at Kelly.
"Heh…cough" Kelly chuckled, and sat beside May.
"You put up a hell of a fight" said Kelly, pulling her knees up to her chest.
"So do…you…" said May, rubbing her jaw.
"What's your name?" asked Kelly, glancing over.
"May Parker, but my friends call me 'Mayday'" she said
"Ok…Mayday" said Kelly, smiling. May smiled slightly as well.
"Err…how's your arm?" asked May. Kelly looked at her,
"Huh?…oh, I didn't notice," she said.
May watched as the tentacles on Kelly's back grabbed her arm, and twisted it back into it's socket. It caused a sickening cracking noise, and a yelp from Kelly. "Ohhh, I'll feel that in the morning" she said. May gave a small laugh. Kelly looked over to May. "Still taking me in? or do we have to go though all that again?" she said. This caused May to laugh a little louder. "Nah, I don't think so" she said, every urge was screaming at her to knock Kelly out and take her to the cops, but she knew the second she tried it, she'd have her head torn off.
Kelly laughed as well. May glanced over at her, her hair was soaked from the rain, her fringe was clinging to her face with bits aching up in various places. May noticed that Kelly's skin was almost white, but she didn't look ill, or thin enough to even look sick. May could see that her body was pretty toned from the way the suit clung to it.
"Aren't you cold?" asked Kelly. May snapped back to reality.
"Not really," she said, "soaked though" she said, smiling. Kelly laughed.
May stood, "Well, I have to go, I've got school tomorrow" she said, holding a hand out to Kelly. Kelly took it and let May pull her up. "Ok, I'll see you around" said Kelly, smiling. May smiled back, pulled her mask on, shot off a web-line, and swung home. Kelly watched her go. She laughed and shook her head.
She stood on the edge of the building, and swung off in the opposite direction. She launched a web-line and swung, when she got nearer the ground, she released it, and dropped onto a street-light. She crouched, the Symbiote reflecting the wall behind her onto the front of her body.
"AHH! Where the hell did you come from?!" shouted the leader.
"Your worst nightmare" said Kelly, ripping his jacket off. "Ohhh, what have we here?" she said, keeping the mouth in the symbiote shut as she rummaged though the pockets. She pulled out a packet of white powder. Kelly felt a burning rage well up inside.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is illegal isn't it?" she asked, with a slight growl, she tossed it down a drain, tentacles had already removed the cover, but the gang hadn't seen that. The leader laughed, "You didn't come here for that,"
Kelly narrowed her eyes which caused the suit to do it as well,
"So what did I come here for?" she asked, coldly.
"Aw, c'mon babe, lets get that spandex off and have a look at you" he said, smirking, the group laughed behind him. One of the suits eyes narrowed as Kelly narrowed hers. "This isn't spandex…" she said jumping off the dumpster and standing straight.
"C'mon get that mask off and gimme some sugar" he said closing his eyes. Kelly was 6 feet tall, the gang leader was 5 ft 6". As she straightened, Tentacles burst off the suit, the white skull formed on the chest, and the teeth appeared on the head. said Kelly, with an echoic sound. The guy opened his eyes, and was confronted with a line of white teeth, one of which was broken on the right side.
"Still want that kiss?" asked Kelly/Ravage, wrapping a tentacle around the guys chest, a large tongue licking the side of the guys face. The guy turned white, so did the group behind.
Listen, and listen good! If we ever see you dealing again, We'll rip your skulls out though your chest and eat your brains! Understand!" she said, her voice rising as she finished. The group nodded fearfully.
"SAY IT!" Kelly shouted.
"Y…Yeah, okay!"
"Good, clean up your act, cause the next time you get high, it'll be me, tearing you to pieces on top of the state building " snarled Ravage, throwing the guy to the floor. She watched as the group ran off, and she started swinging again.
As she reached the apartment where she was staying at, Ravage noticed that she was going inside.
"Hey? Why are we home?"
Ravage, its 11:00 and it's raining...
"So?"
So?! I'm tired!
Kelly climbed though her window, and the symbiote slid off her body and out under the door.
"Kel'? Is that you?, Oh, Hi Ravage" came a voice from outside the door.
"Evening," said Ravage, as he coiled around Melina's waist, shoulders and arms."Yeah Mel', its me, I'll be out in a minute" she said.
"Ok!, Dwayne just made some coffee!" said her friend, Melina, giggling.
"What are you two doing?" called Kelly, listening to Mel laughing, Kelly felt her heart skip a beat when she heard it. "Nothing! Ravage thinks its funny to tickle me!"
"Cheeky little flirt…" said Kelly, sarcastically,
Kelly got some clothes out of her drawers and put them on, nothing fancy, just some underwear, a pair of black jeans and a loose fitting black shirt.
Kelly opened her door, and walked to the kitchen and sat on one of the chairs. Melina sat opposite her, "So, how'd it…" she stopped mid-sentence when she
looked up.
"What?" asked Kelly
"You've got a pretty nice bruise on your jaw, and that cut on your lip is just great" said Mel, handing Kelly a glass of water.
"What?!" said Kelly. Mel smiled
"Hang on…" she ran to her room and got a mirror "…There you go!" she said cheerfully.
Mel watched Kelly's face carefully. Melina had long hair, but not as long as Kelly's. The back of her hair was easily long enough to cover the back of her neck, but it was cut short on the sides, not too short, but short enough to cover her ears. Her hair was black, and she had put blonde high-lights in it. She had piercing ice-blue eyes, and wore a green and black eye shadow. She had mascara under her eyes, but not the 'Bleeding Mascara' Kelly wore. If Kelly was the stereo-typical Emo-girl, Melina was a skater, easily. Mel once asked her why she drew 'bleeding mascara' on her face, over her dark red eye-shadow, Kelly had replied with, "It looks cool", and Mel thought that was a good answer as any.
"Ohhh" Kelly whined, Mel chuckled.
"Aw c'mon, it ain't that bad!" she said "Who'd you get into a fight with this time?"
One of Ravage's tendrils latched onto Kelly's jaw, and faded into the bruise, then slid away, and the bruise was gone.
"I suppose having Ravage has its good sides" said Melina, watching Kelly prod the cut on her lip,
"I suppose…wish he could heal cuts as well as he does bruises" said Kelly, still poking her lip.
"You'll open it if you keep doing that" she said. Kelly put the mirror down.
"Who'd I get into a fight with?" Kelly sighed,
"Spider-girl" she said. Mel smiled,
"You got your butt kicked by a girl?" asked Melina. Kelly twitched.
"I got her as…"
"…Good as she got me" finished Mel. Kelly chuckled, she turned and looked out the window.
"I'm going to bed" she said rubbing her face,
Mel smiled "No your not" she said. Kelly's hands fell from her face, turning to look at Mel's smiling face. "…and whys that?" she asked sarcastically.
Mel prodded her own bottom lip. Kelly frowned and held her fingers to her lip, they came away with a layer of blood. Kelly sighed "Fine", she said as Mel used her right hand to put a cloth under a running tap. "Heh, what would you do with out me?" asked Mel, gently pressing the cloth against Kelly's lip, as Kelly put her arm around Mel's waist.
"Now who's the flirt? Eh?" Ravage said inside Kelly's head. Kelly just smiled.
"Honestly Mel" said Kelly, staring out the window, "I have no idea"
