Venomous Fangs – Intervention –
"Madame…Web?" Peter regained consciousness.
"Yes, Peter. I've come to help you again." She said, in that old voice that hid her true power.
"But…why now? What is there to learn?"
"Spider-Man I'm going to be blunt for once. For this matter is that important."
Peter sat down in front of her, listening like a new student.
"That creature is a hunter from another world. Like the symbiote, it travels from planet to planet, looking for sport. It's a trophy hunter, and you're on the hit list."
"But…why?"
"You're good game, have you ever thought of that? You're Spider-Man, an icon. A figurehead. Big game. Bigger trophies bring bigger honor."
"So that's what this is about? Sport?"
"They are a proud race, Spider-Man."
"THEY?! There's more of them?"
"Oh yes, and they are watching their friend. If he dies, they intervene. If he is dishonored…well…the results won't be pretty."
"Meaning?"
"They die with honor, and they die by their hand. A futuristic Seppoku, if you know what I'm talking about."
"I don't care right now, how do I get rid of it?"
"Defeat it, and it's others with recognize you, and hopefully leave and let you live."
"So what about Venom and Carnage?"
"What about them? They'll be in your way to either kill you or use you to keep the monster busy to stay alive. It's a threat to them so they'll fight back. Which means they'll be in your way most likely."
Peter jumped up and stared at her.
"Send me back…now!"
"Don't take that tone with me."
Raising her hand, she telepathically sat him back down.
"There is still more to learn. Now sit down and meditate."
Peter opened his mouth to speak but she silenced him, then he sat.
Settling on a building top, the symbiote now fully covered his chest from arm to arm, but that still left his legs and head unguarded.
"Alright…if I were an alien lifeform bent of killing somebody…where would I be?"
"Right behind me!"
Shooting webbing, he hit the cloaked Predator dead on in the chest, and dragged him down to the ground.
"Alright, thing. Come at me."
The Predator cut the webbing with it's wristblades and charged. Venom charged at it too. The two met and grappled, testing each other's strength. Both of them dug their feet into the building, pushing back and forth, waiting for the other to break.
Eddie looked at the ground, then back up, and the symbiote formed two javelins from his chest, and extended outward, then aimed at the Predator, and both hit their mark in the creature's abdomen. The Predator shot back, releasing himself from Eddie's grip and the pikes.
Venom laughed as he saw the Predator bleed.
"Looks like you're not so tough after all."
The Predator extended it's right arm, and two wires flew from it's wrist to Eddie's chest. Electricity shot from the wires to Eddie, and Eddie screaming as the energy surged through him. The symbiote cried out with him.
Eddie fell to the ground, smoking.
Predator Playback: "Looks like you're not so tough after all."
The Predator drew its wrist blades and picked up Eddie.
Just then, two red spears impaled the Predator's stomach.
"Greetings, creature." Carnage back lashed and formed two hands, pulling them together still impaling the Predator.
"This might hurt…" Carnage laughed.
The Predator let go of Eddie as it screamed in pain.
Carnage formed two razor sharps hands and dug them into the inside of the hole where he impaled the Predator, he formed two more razor hands after that and clung to the outer skin on the Predator, and pulled.
In a fit of screams and agony Carnage ripped apart the Predator, into two bloody halves to which he threw to the ground.
Eddie looked up, surprised to see him.
"Now…it's YOUR TURN." Carnage shouted.
A plasma blast shot out of nowhere, burning Carnage's symbiote skin.
Just then, ten Predators uncloaked. Their plasma cannons all aimed on Carnage, to which Carnage slowly backs up next to Venom.
Venom looked at Carnage.
"I think you pissed them off."
"Peter…the rules have changed."
Spider-Man looked up from his concentration.
"Carnage has killed the creature."
"That's good!" Peter jumped up.
"No…that's bad. Now the clan seeks retribution. They plan to take Carnage's and Venom's heads as trophies to compensate for the loss."
"Oh no…Eddie…Cletus. I've got to stop them!"
Spider-Man ran off into the darkness.
"Peter you don't know what you're doing!"
"I've got to try to save Eddie and Cletus. Even if they are evil, they are still people!"
"Sometimes Peter…it's just better to leave alone."
Spider-Man disappeared and reappeared on top of the building he disappeared from.
"Got to find them!"
The main Predator Clan leader stepped forward, still aimed and armed to the teeth with weaponry.
Predator Playback: "In…ter…fer…ence…"
The Predator leader impaled Carnage with it's long wristblade.
Carnage only smirked and hit the Predator smack dab in the face, and it backstepped.
Just then, all the other Predators opened fire.
Plasma fire rained down on Carnage, all burning him everywhere, destroying the symbiote, burning it, scarring it.
A now bloody Cletus with burnt symbiote fell to the ground. The Predator leader thrust it's wristblades into Cletus's head, and yanked, pulling his skull and spine clean out of his body.
The Predators roared in approval. Then the leader turned to Venom, and began closing in on him.
Eddie panicked and shot it in the face, and ran.
The Predators were about to fire, when the leader signaled them down. He then signaled them to go left and right. The Predators followed orders, cloaking along the way.
They were going to hunt their prey.
"Venom! Venom!"
Spider-Man was swinging through the city, reaching the top of a building to get a better vantage point. He began to run to the edge when he hit something, he couldn't see what it was, but he was hit back.
A Predator uncloaked and yelled at the top of it's lungs.
"It's one of the clan members!" Spider-Man realized.
The Predator charged taking Spider-Man by the head, and chunked him into the roof of the building. Spider-Man jumped up and webbed the Predator's feet, and pulled.
Falling on its back, Spider-Man yanked the webbing and sent the Predator flying through the air, and hitting a nearby billboard. To which it disappeared in the rubble.
Spider-Man brushed himself off, breathing heavily.
"One down…"
Spider-Man continued onward, hoping that he'll be ready instead of being taken by surprise if he were to find another one.
The Predator clan leader finished polishing off Cletus's skull, and added it to the trophy rack in their ship.
It was then the red symbiote that was Carnage jumped up, attempting to get on the Predator. The Predator leader ran its wrist blades through the symbiote, to which it clung, seeming to not notice that the blades ran through it. The Predator leader leaned in to inspect this thing that has grappled it's blades, and studies it with it's mask, the symbiote however jumped up to the face of the Predator to which it cried out as the symbiote slid underneath the mask and attached itself to the Predator's face. The Predator removed its mask, to which the symbiote now had the Predator with long blue jagged streaks for eyes and its dreadlocks moving on their own.
The symbiote only covered the Predator's head and neck, but that was still enough to take him over. It was slowly growing back and soon will take over the rest of the Predator body.
Venom jumped down to a sidewalk, and removed a manhole cover and jumped into the sewers, maybe he could lose them in the sewers.
Venom ran to the shadows and used the symbiote, which now was back to its full form, flattened out and became the shadows.
Soon after he did this, one cloaked Predator jumped in and it's cloaking fizzed out because of the sewage water. Eight other Predators soon followed, each nodding to each other and soon spreading out within the catacombs.
Venom followed one Predator, which was slowly walking, looking left to right. Venom came up behind the Predator and pulled him down in the sewage water, to which he attempted to drown the Predator.
Unaware that the mask was skin tight, water did not get in. The Predator got up and threw Venom up against the wall, to which he disappeared into the shadows again.
The Predator looked around, hearing nothing but the water dripping from its dreadlocks.
Venom jumped out and grabbed the Predator's head, and began to pull hard. A large snap was heard as Venom snapped the Predator's neck.
Just then the other Predators came in the tunnel, two of them at the ends, one bursting through a wall, the others coming out of the water.
Venom sneered as he charged at one of them at the end.
