Venomous Fangs – Devastation –
Spider-Man swung through the city, stopping a few petty crimes here and there, not seeing any sign of Venom or the Predator creature. Spider-Man swung once more around the whole city, and finally returned home to retire for the night.
Elsewhere in the city…
"AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!"
Venom screamed as the symbiote was regenerating itself. To heal itself, it used Eddie's skin and merged with it, turning Eddie's a blue hue until it matched the suit again, and merging with it, hurt Eddie A LOT.
When the process was finished, Venom fell to the ground, clutching his stomach. Eddie and Venom still were not one, as the symbiote had a harder time remerging with him since the blast took a part of the symbiote away for good.
The mask was pulled back and Eddie was now face down on the rooftop of a tall building, rain pelting his face as he breathed deep, trying to keep his cool about his pain.
Then he heard a clicking sound off near the edge of the building.
Eddie looked up at see an uncloaked Predator, now standing over him, wrist blades drawn and the Plasma Cannon aimed at Eddie's head.
Eddie reared back and the symbiote covered Eddie's face which could now have no trouble seeing the Predator in the rain, the Predator leaped forward, blades armed ready to thrust into Venom.
Venom reared back and delivered a knock-out punch directly into the Predator's face, cracking the face mask the Predator wore, the Predator jumped back and began fingering the mask and messing with the computer on it's left arm.
Venom jumped up and began climbing a lightning rod, when nearby another rooftop was struck with lightning, the lightning rod catching the lightning as it came down. Venom climbed to the top, and waited for the Predator to move.
Instead, the Predator took aim with its Plasma Cannon, and fired right at the top of the lightning rod where Venom clung to.
A lightning strike flew down from the clouds, aimed for the lightning rod Venom was on, and which the plasma fire was heading, Venom jumped off right as the lightning hit the top and the plasma fire hit as well.
Combined with the lightning strike, the shot doubled in size and imploded, sending a purple shockwave above the city, covering the distance of the entire city in mere seconds.
Unfortunately, Venom was completely engulfed in the blast.
The Predator's gear was shorted out, and it took this moment of distraction to jump off the ledge and into a nearby building to disappear.
When Venom's vision cleared, the rooftop was blurry, he focused in and out, and then he spread his arms and legs out and turned on his back, facing the sky. He could feel the cool of the rain again, but this time, it soaked his clothes.
His clothes…the ones he wore underneath the suit.
Eddie looked up to find that the symbiote was damaged in many places, holes were everywhere, even some parts of Eddie's clothes were burnt, but his main pain came from his stomach, where there was a burn through the suit, through his clothes, and barely through to his bone. Needless to say, he was bleeding and burnt in the same place.
Eddie couldn't move, and the symbiote began to shudder, feeling Eddie's pain as its own. The symbiote began to move towards Eddie's stomach, peeling itself away from the rest of his body, heading towards the one spot on his stomach. He was sure he was going to die.
"Just let me die…" Eddie said to the symbiote, but more to himself.
The symbiote just stayed at the spot, but Eddie could feel his skin beginning to regenerate, and the organs that he lost were being replaced by the symbiote. Eddie's pain began to dissipate and he began to feel better. After the "operation", the symbiote went limp, and it slid off Eddie as he rose to his feet, and kneeled next to the symbiote.
"This would be my chance…to be rid of you forever…" Eddie spoke to the symbiote.
"This could be where I could live my life…without you…without the pain, suffering, and merging again and again."
"This is where I could end my life and stay dead…where I don't have to live with Parker or the Daily Bugle…"
The symbiote seemed to crawl away at his words, to begin to look for a new host.
Eddie extended his hand.
"But I'm not just Eddie Brock, I'm Venom. WE are Venom."
The Symbiote crawled up his arm, only able to cover up to his elbow.
"You almost sacrificed your life for mine. So I will do the same, and permanently merge with you."
The symbiote extended itself into the Predator creature's wrist blades, and Eddie only smiled.
"Soon…that creature won't know what hit it."
Eddie ran to the end of the building and web-slung into the night.
The Predator jumped down from its perch only 50 feet above where Venom was. It bashed a hole in the building roof and jumped in to land in a small storage room. It released it's pressurization tubes on each side of the mask, and pulled it off, breathing deeply the arid earth air. Coughing just a tad, it seemed to make a face of disgust.
Pulling out it's Medkit, it pressed a few buttons on the wrist computer, and the Medkit opened. Grabbing a small gun-like object, he fired up a small lighter object giving off blue flame, and he lit the end of the gun and shot off a small spurt of fire.
A welding torch.
The Predator held it's mask and began work on repairing it, for it was cracked straight down the middle and one more crack straight to the left.
Predator Playback: "Soon…that creature won't know what hit it."
