Chapter 3- Rude Awakening
When Kai awoke, her body felt full of energy and strength, but in her mind, she was exhausted. Next to her, three bodies lay, but instead of three teenagers, three creatures resembling Carnage took their place. Carnage stood in front of the window with his arms crossed, staring off into the cityscape. Who knew what was going on his twisted head. Kai sat up and looked down at her body. It was totally black; reflecting blue wherever light hit it.
'What has that psychopath done to me?!' she thought. She stood up quietly, so Carnage wouldn't hear. The door was a few feet behind her. She suddenly made a break for it, but in a blink of an eye, Carnage was in front of her, blocking the door. A strange instinct entered her mind and she slashed at him with inhuman claws. He dodged, punched her and said, "You are strong."
Kai stepped back, holding her jaw in pain, "What did you do to me?!" she demanded to know.
"It sounds like you think it's bad. You are a symbiote, a demi-god!" he stepped up right in front of her, "I helped you, now you must help me. Be my spawn of evil."
"You're crazy!" she hissed and stabbed him in the stomach with a clawed hand.
In a short, violent rage, Carnage pushed Kai and she stumbled right out of a window. He watched her fall into the ocean as he healed his nonfatal wound.
The three others woke to the sound of the fight and stood up, dazed.
"Ah, my other three children." He said turning to face them. He pointed to the largest symbiote with a muscular black body, almost like Venom, except he had red trim to his suit. This one was blessed with the power of extreme strength. "You are now known as Vile."
Then Carnage pointed to the next one. He was black with yellow lightning streaked down his body. This one was blessed with extreme speed. "You are Bolt."
The next one was female and she was red with a few black stripes. She was blessed with excellent fighting skills. "You are Claw. Vile, Bolt and Claw, you have been taken from your miserable life and given a gift. You are now symbiotes. You can use your suits for extra strength, speed, regeneration and you can make weapons from extensions of your suit. Now use these gifts and go fish your sister out of the ocean! You may have to use force."
Without a word, the three symbiotic creatures webswinged out of the warehouse.
When Kai fell into the ocean, current took her limp, unconscious body farther into the water. When she reached the surface, the symbiote suit released her and she floated up, gasping for air. She grabbed on to a houseboat that just happened to be anchored right where she came up. Suddenly, a strong hand wrapped around her wrist and pulled her up onto the boat.
"Hey are you okay?" the man asked.
Kai looked up at the heavily muscled man with dirty blonde hair and said, "Yes, thank you."
"I'm Eddie." He said giving her a towel.
"My name is Kai."
"How did you end up in the middle of the ocean, Kai?" he asked.
"It's a pretty complicated story. Do you have something to eat?" she quickly changed the subject.
"Yes." He walked into the cabin and came back out with a half of a bag of salt and vinegar chips. "Not gourmet, but it's all I have."
"Thank you!" she managed to say in between wharfing down chips.
Peter and Saidie separated and headed home. Saidie changed into Silver Phoenix to get to her apartment faster. She flew in through her window and released her armor. She had the sudden feeling of someone watching her, but that was impossible, since she was on the top floor and all her doors and windows were locked except the one she leaves open for super hero purposes. She ignored her feeling and went to bed.
About two o'clock in the morning, Saidie woke for some reason to a beeping sound. She checked her alarm, but it was off. She looked down to the floor and saw a small, glowing orange ball. Suddenly, it erupted into a fire blast explosion.
