"After the strange morning Alita had with Buddy, she decided what was best if she took him for a walk so the fresh air could clear his head as well allow him to relax. While within him was Venom, getting upset at how the male human used the machine to let out that painful sound, shaking his head he merely walks so that he could forget it. As the two were right outside of Ido's cybernetic building, she is stopped by a woman with a dot on her head as well wearing black like clothing, the cyborg girl stopped seeing how the woman called out towards her as she began to examine her white mechanical arms. Venom how could sense what she was, the look from her eyes as well how she studied the arms reminded him that of the blue eyed man, he could have taken over and attack her by biting her arms. Though Alita soon moves away from her before the woman could continue to study her, still feeling fuzzy the girl continue to take a small walk into the street where she could ease herself not noticing the entity deep within her."

As the two continued to walk throughout the street, Alita was feeling curious about last night with Ido coming home covered in black, what exactly was he doing? Meanwhile for Venom, seeing how he lost the chance to see if the woman was in league with the blue eyed man remained silent as he looks around the area as he noticed how strange it was. He, having been in the underworld was looking at how joyful the humans were, even if they weren't wealthy or looked normal with their cyber appendages, they were content with what they had. Soon enough Alita stops by a small shop to where the vender was giving out free snacks, it looked fruit like as well had chocolate. The vender explained it was a chocolate banana, being curious she requests for one and soon takes a bite which the taste was both cold and delicious at the same time.

"Tasty"

Looking at the snack as he whimpers for a bite, Alita notices takes a small piece and hands it to him as he smiles at how nice it tasted. Though this personality was not the one he needed, he needed a fighter as well someone that could rip apart enemies like he would. If he was to bond with her he had to see if she could survive in a fight due to that pose she displayed yesterday, continuing to think he soon notices something on the screen which showed a race happening as well a fight going on.

"It looks violent as well brutal, we like it."

Venom telling himself as he then lets out a bark to get Alita's attention in which she looks at the screen as it was the same sport she saw yesterday when she was with Ido after doing some shopping.

Alita: "That's motor ball, apparently Ido thinks it isn't worth my time to watch and it's mostly for people who like seeing people rip each other apart. I think it's cool, maybe one day we can go and watch it."

"Mhm, she has taste in violence."

Noticing how the two were enjoying it until she notices a small ball rolling towards her, bending down to grab it she notices a few people on skates as well a ramp along with doing all kinds of stunts as she notices that how they played was like motor ball.

"Hey! Mind giving us our ball back?"

Asked a girl with black pony tails with green skates as Alita nodded, throwing the ball towards her which one of the skaters friends catches the ball but falls on the ground. The green skates girl laughs at how hard the ball landed on her friend by her side as Alita looked shocked at how much force she did when she passed the ball to them.

Alita: "Sorry! I didn't mean to do that."

"No worries, Jerry here is used to falling on the ground eh?"

Replying towards her and at her fallen friend, who was a teen male with light brown skin and was wearing tactical glasses. He dusts himself off as well trying to get up as the girl and Alita helped him up as he looks at her.

Jerry: "I had it Leela, just need to be ready for it."

Instructing that he could have caught the ball, though the two soon notice that she was a cyborg. They looked fascinated by her appearance as Alita could tell they never met something like her.

Leela: "Your a cyborg."

Alita: "Well yes, I am, there are others like me."

Leela: "Well yeah, it's just that most of them we've seen are hunter warriors."

Responding back to her which Alita and Venom didn't know what a hunter warrior was, not understanding Jerry points at one of them walking by some citizens as he had a silver machine like body as well a human face. His eyes were looking around for something or someone as he was on the hunt, Alita noticing his appearance as a hunter but also notices his sword on his back. It looked beautiful to her as well amazing as she was in a trance from having looked towards it, without noticing the two then get called out by the other players needing them.

Jerry: "Oh great, were needed. Maybe you can help us? Leela can't exactly help with holding the ball while getting tackled."

Leela: "Screw off, you can't do a good run to the hoop throw without stumbling."

The two arguing as Alita, seeing how it looked fun and not as dangerous as the real one might be something she could participate. Though she began thinking about what Ido told her about this sport being only for destroying others as well being brutal, beginning to have second thoughts her leg was soon nudged by her dog who Venom was using to have her play the game.

"Come on Alita, show us that you have a fighting spirit as well can tear these chumps apart."

Looking at her in a begging like tone as the black haired girl merely chuckles at how her pet was supporting her to go and participate. Having not the look to say no to him, she agrees with the others and decides to play with the others. Putting her dog by the sidelines, Leela equipped her with some roller skates that would assist her in playing the game, they were purple as she began to skate with her now new friends. Though she accidentally slips on the ground falling on her back which the others laugh at her.

Jerry: "Don't worry, you'll get used to it. It's all about movement, got to move left to right."

Giving her some advice as he along with Leela guided her to the starting line where the three along with the other players were at began to get into position. Leela having a small time to Alita began to give a small explanation about what she had to do. Alita along with Jerry where her guardsmen while Leela was the carrier, the main goal of the game was to get the ball into the hoop without the enemy team doing the same. The only rule was not to drop the ball and not to do low blows to the stomach, Venom watching from the sidelines watched her getting into a racing like stance as they looked at the lights beeping. They soon light up in a green like color as that meant it was one, as the people began the race a small ball shot out from the wall as each of the teens were trying to grab it. Alita having no experience was pushing back against a few of the men while Leela was able to grab the ball, Venom watched at how the other players acted cruel towards each other pushing and shoving one another up to the point where he saw Alita hit a metal stand making her fall on to the ground.

"Painful, we should bite him in the nuts."

Thinking of something painful he could do but he notices how Alita's facial expression changed to a serious like form as she was now getting serious, Leela and Jerry getting her up and back on her feet. The three began to head back to work on trying to get a win, deciding to change it up a bit as well see if they could win. Leela tosses the ball to Alita as she quickly adapted to the situation as the cyborg girl quickly avoided getting tackled by the other players. Moving left to right as well doing some movement, Jerry opens up but Alita wasn't paying attention as she soon was about to get jabbed in the stomach by another player. Though she puts him in a armlock and flips him which surprises everyone as she then makes it up to the top and makes a point. Smiling at the point, Jerry and Leela clapped for her as the others congratulate her on the win.

Jerry: "How did you do that?"

Alita: "I don't know, it's like. Something took over and, I just let it take over."

Replying to her now new friend which soon enough, her dog 'Buddy' rushed over and barks at her excited like which she laughs at how much he loved her display.

"Outstanding, now make fun of him and rip off his head!"

Venom thinking of a fun way to cherish the victory as he merely spoke in barking as the girl merely patted her head which her friends looked at him.

Jerry: "Cute dog, so are you doing anything tonight Alita? Me and Leela are going to watch a game of Motor ball tonight, want to come?"

Inviting to spend time with them as Alita thought this was something new, spending time with friends that she had just made. Though Ido wanted her to come right back before dark, that motion soon went away when Venom merely whimpered towards her to go with them as he wanted to watch the brutal sport.

Alita: "Well, we can stay there for a little bit. Then I have to go."

Leela: "Deal, besides tonight is the termination match. Were going see who will be heading into the finals."

Sounding excited as the two then follow their new friends to where they would be able to watch the sport, while Venom could spend more time with Alita as well see if he could bond with her as he saw it was the right opportunity to bond with her.

Later

In a small like building was the three teenagers along with the dog as they were watching the sport on the television, they saw the race going on as they were right now seeing the players race across the area as well crashing and bashing into one another. Alita was curious about how each player had different types of weaponry which made them either unique or dangerous amongst each other in the ring.

Alita: "They can't use projectile weapons but they can use blades and maces?"

Leela: "Yeah, pretty fucked up right? All those weapons and having different types of cybernetic bodies and they can't play the game fair? That's not right."

Jerry: "It makes the games interesting. I find it fun to see what the competitors might bring, here look at that guy."

Pointing at one of the players, he had a white and red armored right arm that could shoot out metal tendrils to pull other players back or rip off a body part.

Jerry: "His arm was design to be long ranged as well be for defense against upcoming attackers, the next one is fury. Her armor is design to be fast, though this also makes her vulnerable due to how she is moving near them."

Showing another player racing along side the others as she is quickly taken out by a much bigger cyborg racer. As the three continued to watch the sport, Venom was looking at the brutality as well the destruction the players were doing amongst themselves as it reminded him of the old days. When he and his brothers would fight other races in the most gruesome way while using hosts to use their powers. He looks at Alita thinking that she might be able to help him get stronger, with that small performance at the game she could be his only chance. He goes near a small bowl of popcorn and begins to eat it as the three notice him.

Jerry: "Hey! That's for..."

Before he could get the dog out of the bowl, Venom looks at him and lets out a growl making him freak out while moving back as Alita pulls Buddy back and places her on her lap.

Alita: "Sorry, he gets serious when he is eating."

Leela: "Well remind me next time to bring my own food."

Laughing at how the small dog made Jerry afraid as the three continued to watch the sport as Alita notices a title coming up during the announcement, 'Final Champion'.

Alita: "What's final champion?"

Leela: "Best thing a motor ball player could win, a chance to go up to Zalem. But it's a challenge to even survive a single race, the rookie trial is in a few days. If any of the upcomers win. They can officially enter the game and compete for the title."

Jerry: "As if you could, those guys don't exactly play fair now do they?"

Asking her which Leela throws some popcorn in his face which the three teenagers laugh a bit as Venom, thinking about it could be alternative way to get to the city without having a whole army after him and Alita. After a few other matches Alita and 'Buddy' headed back home as the girl enjoyed her time hanging out with her friends, slowly entering the building she see's Ido asleep along with reading a book. Taking in a deep breath she picked up the dog and carried him quietly towards the living room as well lightly making sure not to make a sound.

Ido: "Didn't I say to come home before dark?"

Alita: "You did? I ugh, just lost track of time."

Replying to him which she drops Buddy, Venom in control notices the human looking at him to see if he was normal. To keep up with the charade he walks over to Ido and rubs against his leg, the doctor notices how friendly he was now merely pets his head as Venom groans to himself.

"Once we are connected to Alita. We will have words with the human doctor."

Telling himself as he notices a wound on his right arm that was covered up which Alita notices as well as she looked concern for him, walking over to see if it was badly hurt he merely gestures that he was ok.

Ido: "I got it from a repair this morning. But the reason why I asked you to come back was because of the recent attacks going on, I didn't want you to stay out."

Alita: "Attacks?"

Asking a bit concern which Venom heard this as well, attacks could be the perfect opportunity to full let Alita's full fighting abilities out. The only way he could do that was to bond with her, the only way to do that was to find the perfect moment which had to be tonight.

Under the stroke of the full moon, where Alita mysteriously had on clothing when she went to bed. The symbiotic creature rose from his bed with his eyes fully white as well in control walked over to Alita as he leaps onto her bed, pressing his paw onto her white hand. The black like slime soon enters into her body as well the rest of her as Venom was now inside of her, Buddy now free of the creatures control notices what was going on and merely headed back to his bed to rest. A couple minutes later without realizing anything, she wakes up to hear Ido's door opening which meant he was going out again. Removing the blanket off she looks through the door seeing him in his black clothing as well holding his black box, not understanding what was happening she knew he had to follow him to see what was going on.

"Follow him."

Venom spoke in his head as Alita quickly turned around trying to see who was behind her which it was no one, taking a look around to see who was around her as well at the porch. She continues to see Ido walking through the street which meant he was on the move, not having a second to think she begins to follow him by going up to the rooftops and following him. As she continued to follow him, something within Alita was off, she was feeling more stronger than yesterday and this morning as she kept up with Ido.

"Wait."

The voice spoke again as she soon stops, not understanding what was happening she looks around to now get agitated of who was talking to her.

Alita: "Hello? Who's there?"

"We are."

He spoke again which made her turn to the right as well in a defensive like form, she saw no one which made her feel like she was losing it and possibly feel jumpy.

"We will explain later, Ido is on the move and plans to kill someone."

Alita: "Kill, what do you mean kill? He would never."

Having doubt on what this mysterious voice was saying as she continued to follow the doctor as Alita soon see's him following a woman in red clothing. Right around the corner, Alita goes to a small porch to where she sat there watching Ido observing the woman in red. Not understanding why he was doing this, Ido began to open the black box to which he was pulling out metal pieces which he was connecting.

"He is making a weapon."

Alita: "No, he isn't. Ido isn't a violent man."

"He is, we can smell it in his blood that he has the instinct to kill."

Venom talking to Alita which she tried to ignore as she saw him fully building a hammer like weapon, looking down upon Ido the cyborg girl saw the woman in red walking around the corner about to meet him.

"He will kill her in a matter of seconds. A pretty messy sight he will make."

Alita: "No, he won't."

"Then stop him."

Responding to her statement as Alita quickly leaping down from the edge she surprised Ido and grabs the hammer as he gets shocked by her sudden appearance.

Alita: "Don't, Stop!"

Ido: "Alita?"

Alita: "Don't do it!"

Shouting at him to not do this act as the two soon get out of the alley in which they saw the woman in red gone, it was like she left no trace as Venom. Knew something was up, Ido wasn't a killer but the bait instead.

"It's a trap."

Venom telling Alita in which the two soon notice some footsteps walking towards them as it was a muscular large like man with a dark green cloak covering his body and face. The two stepping back as the large individual intimidated them, the figure looked at Ido as if he knew him.

"Looking me doctor? Or should I say, hunter warrior?"

Replying towards Ido which surprised Alita as she didn't know he was one of the people that would hunt down others in the city.

Alita: "Hunter warrior?"

"Behind us."

Venom spoke again which the two hear a crazy like cackle as they see another cyborg landing in front of them which he had a sickle and knife, he walked towards them as he appeared to be another threat.

"Well look what we have, the hunter warrior has found us. And got us a girl, will make it much easier for us."

The cyborg spoke in a wicked like sense as Ido puts Alita to the side so she wouldn't get hurt, the doctor getting into a fighting stance he begins to fight the cyborg. Ido tried his best to hold his ground but the hammer was to big for him to let him move fast. Alita watching this display, she couldn't help but feel useless as she didn't know what to do.

"You must help him."

Alita: "What, I don't if.."

"We can, you have strength in you that can tear this guy apart but you are afraid to release it."

He spoke towards her which Alita stayed in the spot where Ido placed him while the cloak figure notice her talking which sounded odd, Ido trying his best not to fall he gets kicked to the ground and loses his weapon.

"Will you seat by and watch the man who build you die right in front of you? Will you let your cowardness take control while knowing you can do something?!"

Venom asks her more aggressive like which was causing Alita to shake her head and cover her eyes not being able to keep it inside of her as the cyborg was spinning his knife about to kill Ido as he tried to get to him hammer.

"Will you merely be a cyborg child that is afraid of monsters?!"

Asking one last time as Alita's eyes open to show ferocity and anger as she gritted her teeth while looking at the cyborg in which she lets out a frustrated yell and charges towards the killer cyborg.

Alita: "No!"

Shouting out loud as she does a flying double kick making the cyborg fall on his back, letting her anger out she begins to punch him in the face left to right breaking it with her bare hands as the psychotic cyborg's face was nothing more than a stain with chunks of metal. Ido, on the ground watched in horror seeing the same girl that was kind do such a brutal like attack, he was about to grab his hammer until he sees the woman in red aiming a blade at him.

"You tried to save me, how sweet."

Telling him which she slowly raises the old man up and puts him to the side as she notices the girl killing her partner. Alita, who was shocked at the display she did merely looked at her hands which were covered in blue blood, she shakes a bit at the sight of this kill as she slowly stands up and looks at the others.

"Outstanding! You are more brutal than we could thought off, now let's rip the big one apart and use his arms on the woman."

Alita: "Why would we do that?"

Asking in which the giant man merely groaned at how the sight of one of his men dead was humiliating as he looks at the woman in red.

"Rip that Flea apart!"

Giving the woman a command as she soon rips apart her clothes revealing a robotic like body as well her arms begin long blades, she goes into a mantis like style as well snarls at her like a animal which surprises Alita and Venom.

Alita and Venom: "Oh shit."
