Issue 3: Gang War
Manhattan
After his intense battle against Venom, in which during the fight he regained his black suit, Spider-Man follows an ambulance that's carrying his friend Mary Jane to the hospital after getting caught in the crossfire.
Spidey sighed while looking a little depressed as he web swings, "As usual in my miserable life as Spider-Man, my friends and loved ones are caught, once again, in-between my battles against foes that are too much for them. Poor MJ. Thankfully she didn't seem too banged up. Still…" Peter looks at his open hand, mentally turning it black with his symbiote suit. "How in the world did I regain the black suit, and what was up with Venom? He seemed a little different than usual, not to mention his power was off the charts. And from what I've learned, it seems that Cinder barely has any involvement in his massive power up. Wish I had their cell number and just call them on the situation. Wouldn't that make my life easier. Hmm. What do you think, Ero?" He asked his own Other, the Great Spider-Totem God, who is also using Peter as his host, but unlike the symbiote, he and Peter actually cooperate as one and work together to save lives.
A blue, astral form of Ero, taking a humanoid appearance made up of tiny Ero spiders, flies right next to Spidey as he continues following the ambulance. "While I can't answer how Venom became so strong, I can answer that something about your symbiote is a little different than the last time you wore it." The Spider-God said to Peter.
"How different?" Peter asked him.
"It's hard to say. Symbiotes are one of the most abnormal and dangerous species in the entire known universe, with the Venom symbiote possessing the greatest threat to all life in existence. Even the smartest of cosmics minds can't begin comprehend their power and control." Ero explained to Peter.
"Yeah. I remember the Guardians of the Galaxy once telling me that even Thanos himself couldn't figure out a way to control these things. So how come I'm still myself, at least for now I am?" Spidey asked his Other.
"Two things: One, your previous exposure with the Venom symbiote is helping you retain some command over the black suit. And two, I am using all of my power to keep it from completely taking over both our minds, which means you won't be able to gain access to my or your Great Weaver special powers for the time being."
"Great, now I'm 50% less amazing." Spidey said, a little disappointed that he can't access his godly spider powers, especially if he has to fight Venom again.
"But, there is an alternative source of power in the form of your black suit, granting you even greater strength than both your auras, but remember that power is too corrupt and feeds off your negative emotions, possibly changing you forever."
"I kind of figured that out back when I kept questioning myself why I'm covered in mud while I was asleep, or why I felt so tired." Peter said, remembering how when he first used the black suit, the symbiote would go out on its own to solve crime while wearing a sleeping Peter as it does so.
"Even with my power and our connection to the Great Web, the symbiote's influences is too strong and grows stronger, manipulating you in and out of the black suit to perform some 'uncharacteristic' moral choices that you normally wouldn't do as a hero."
"Don't have to tell me twice."
"Be careful, Peter. I fear there is more to this altered symbiote than meets the eye. Who knows what happened to Brock that helped him gain access to such a demonic and corrupt power?" Ero asked Peter, warning him about his black suit and the consequences it can bring.
"I'll ask him the next time we face off, because I have a bad feeling it'll be a lot sooner when that reunion happens." Spidey said as Ero disappears into nothingness, that way he could focus on slowing down the symbiote from taking over Peter's mind.
After another minute, both Spidey and the ambulance have arrived at the hospital. Just mere moments after arriving, a couple of cars drive up to the lot, where gangsters wearing different colored clothing get out of their cars and start attacking the rivaling group with their guns, making a mess of the front of the hospital.
Two of the paramedics that were carrying MJ run out of the back of the vehicle containing her. "Is everyone in one peace? Get her inside!" One of the medical guys said to his partner, prompting the man to start taking MJ in for her protection. Thankfully, Spidey hops onto the top of the hospital car. "You! Stop those lunatics!" He ordered Spidey to take care of the gangster before they cause even more trouble.
BGM-Spider-Man: Web of Shadows OST-Gang War
"Uhh yeah, o-okay." Spidey responded, jumping into the air and leaps towards the middle of the battlefield between the two gangs and start beating them up with his superior, non-lethal skills. "And as usual in my friendly neighborhood life, I somehow always find myself in the middle of a gang war. I would be enjoying myself if I wasn't so worried for MJ. Ugh, I feel like a heel for not being by her side while she gets her arm casted. Then again, if she knew I was ignoring what was going on outside, she would've kicked me out the door." He said in thoughts while easily dispatching the thugs from both gangs. After the last thug was beaten, Peter looks proud of his work and thinks it's all over, that is until his spider-sense started ringing and a couple more thugs in their cars start showing up to continue the fight. "I knew this was over too quickly." Peter said, getting into defensive position.
"You're going to pay for messing up my boys, Spider-Freak!" One of the thugs in orange said. He and his gang start shooting at Spider-Man, who leaps into the air to avoid gunfire. Unbeknownst to the thugs, a big and ripped black man wearing a yellow shirt and a belt appears behind one of the thugs, knocking him down with a single fist thonk. "It's Cage! Waste him!" The orange thug said, prompting the others to start shooting at Luke Cage with all their bullets, but thanks to Mr. Cage's highly impenetrable skin, those bullets are simply tiny pebbles to his chest, with the only thing getting destroyed was a gang car behind him, causing an explosion behind Cage.
Luke starts cracking his knuckles, ready to beat some sense to these thugs. "Now that was rude." He said before immediately using his superhuman strength and starts wrecking the street crime with little stress.
"Aha, Luke Cage, my man! It's been a while. How'd you been?" Spidey said from the sidelines so he could watch Luke fight.
"I've been good. Want to join in on taking down these small fry?" Cage asked the Avenger as they see more cars filled with crooks arriving in front of the hospital.
"I prefer big fries along with a cheeseburger, but okay, I'll take up your offer." Spidey joked before joining Cage in taking down the thugs.
With a man that possess strength rivaling the Hulk, and a kid with spider-like agility and speed, all the thugs have been easily beaten down and webbed up for the police, who have just arrived after the battle has settled so they could arrest the fools who's been messing up Harlem.
BGM End
Now that the street crime has been quelled, Spider-Man walks up to talk to Luke Cage. "So what brings up uptown, Spidey?" Cage asked the teenage-web slinging hero.
"I was coming to see about a friend in the emergency room when all these fine chaps came along." Spidey replied to Power Man.
"Good work shutting down the drive-by." Cage said.
"Eh, it was nothing." Spidey responded, acting all cocky as usual.
"I've been chasing these guys around all day. You see any more, you shut them down." Luke said to Spidey to take down more thugs that are causing trouble in this section of the city.
"I-I'll do what I can." Spidey responded.
"Good. Look for me in the park later." Cage said to Spidey before the kid webs swing away from the hospital to find more gangs to beat up.
With the use of his sensational spider-senses, Spidey quickly finds a couple of purple-colored thugs pinning down some good cops behind their police cars. The arachnid hero lands behind the thugs and gets into a crouching position. "Don't you kids have anything better to do than pathetically shoot at a non-moving car?" He asked the thugs in a joking manner. The thugs turn around and start shooting at Spidey instead, but because of his insane reflexes and speed, he dodges all the bullets with ease. "You guys have the aim of Stormtroopers." Peter quipped before knocking the goons out with a couple of kicks to the chests, "And you go down like Stormtroopers. You guys really need to work on your aim, and more importantly find better clothing, purple just looks tacky on you." He said as the police hand-cuff the troublemakers.
"Now to find more little baddies to beat up then meet up with Cage. And I seriously hope nothing bad happens in the next minute or so." Spidey said before webs swing away from the street to find more gang members to beat up for the police.
Unknown to Peter and his spider-senses, a woman wearing casual everyday clothing, with a taste of a red and black design, while also wearing a hat and shades, watches him swing away across the city with a evilish smile before following him through the shadows.
Cinder's Apartment
At her apartment room in the middle of Manhattan, Cinder is seen alone, unusually depressed. Venom and Salem are somewhere in the city, with neither of them telling her what they have plan for New York before they left on their own. Cinder noticed that something about those two felt off and a bit out of character. Venom was seen a little more vicious than usual, and Salem hasn't bother contacting her since she left, no matter how many times she tried to contact her. Cinder made sure to teleport back to Salem's domain to see if they somehow teleported there even though the ISO-8 Salem had couldn't allow her for inter-dimensional travel, but as she expected, no one was inside the complex besides the common Grimm outside, so she can cross out them being on Remnant for the time being.
Cinder walks over to her desk and picks up a photo fame of her and Eddie, with Brock having a smile on his face and putting one of his arms around Cinder, who slightly looked away from the camera without a smile.
She lets out a smile while looking at the picture before she hears a knock on her door. "Come in." Cinder said as she lets down the photo back on the desk. Emerald and Mercury open the door so they could meet their boss about Venom's current whereabouts. "Find anything?" She asked her subordinates.
Emerald shakes her head, looking a little depressed. "No. He wasn't at his apartment. We've spoken to everyone but no one has seen Brock in hours." She told Cinder.
"What does Venom and Salem have plan that they don't bother filling us in first. It seems unlike them; don't you think?" Mercury asked the two girls with him.
"It is." Cinder responded before pondering to herself. "Salem wouldn't just leave in this new world she's unfamiliar with. She's smarter than that. Usually she would ask us to survey the area before planning an attack. But doing it on her own? Even with Eddie by her side that's completely unlike her."
"Could it be because of the symbiote she's wearing?" Emerald asked her.
"I…It could be the case, but according to Salem herself, she perfected the symbiote so it wouldn't take over your mind." Cinder replied.
"But the way Eddie acted before he left make it seem like he wasn't in control." Mercury spoken up, remembering how Venom didn't even act like he's part Eddie Brock any more.
"That's true. He was acting strange." Cinder said, crossing her arms with her one eye closed. After a few seconds of thinking, she opens her eye. "I say we continue our search for them all across this city, high and low. I'm sure they're still here somewhere. Once we find them, we can figure out what's their problem and what Salem has plan. All we know now is that it involves Venom's unlocked Semblance and she wants to use that power to take over both this world and Remnant."
"Should we contact Spider-Man for some help?" Emerald asked her boss.
"I rather we not rely on the webhead on this one. Hmph, besides, I want to handle this problem without his constant jokes breathing down my neck." Cinder told them, refusing to gain Spider-Man's help even though he's more of the Venom expert than her.
"I know, right? That guy is just annoying." Mercury said with his hands behind his head.
"More tolerable than you." Emerald retorted with a smirk on her face, angering Merc.
"Quiet. Let's get moving." Cinder said before the three head out the room to continue their search for Venom and Salem.
In a park at Harlem
After taking down more of the gangsters disturbing the peace of Harlem thanks to their little war, Spider-Man swings over to the local park to meet with Luke Cage.
"Good job, Spidey. Thanks to you, the gangs are thinking twice before having a shoot-out in the middle of the street. But we have to keep up the pressure." Luke Cage said to Spider-Man as the amazing teenage approach him.
"Tell me about these gangs." Spider-Man asked on some information about the rival gangs.
"The two gangs we're dealing with are the Rolling Sevens and Park Avenue. They are engaging in a number of activities dangerous to the community. Your unique skills could be perfect for stopping them." Luke Cage told him.
"Alright, I get that, but I have to say Luke, you've been at this for a while now—trying to get these gangs to calm down, I mean. How did this all started?" Spidey starts another conversation with Cage about the Gang War.
"It's an ongoing job, Spidey. I had a peace working. Then someone decided they were disrespected and now they're trying to get revenge." Cage said.
"That's just stupid." Spidey responded on how this petty gang war even start in the first place.
"That's life, man." Cage replied.
"I grew up in a nice quiet corner of Queens." Spidey told the buff man in front of him.
"So you have no idea what I'm talking about."
"That's one way of saying it, sure." Spidey said.
"These kids think they haven't got any currency beyond respect. They don't see any way out, and no future beyond what they can carve out for themselves." Cage continued explaining the gangs' reasons to start a war.
"And their solution is to turn the city into a war zone?" Spidey asked Power Man.
"They don't think beyond today. That's why I'm out here. To show them there is another way. There is a future." Cage replied.
"Well, I've got your back, man. I want to help any way I can." Spidey said, now even more determined to help Luke stop this gang war that's terrorizing Harlem.
"There's some guys out here that need to get got- knock some heads together, yeah? But most are just guys who've fallen in with the wrong crowd, and they just need to hear some kind words."
"I hear that. So before I do go knock some heads together, what did you mean when you said I had 'unique skills'?" Spidey asked him, wanting to traverse back to their previous conversation.
"You have the potential to be a great fighter, but you need to use all your senses." Cage answered him.
"Hey, I've got more sense than you." Spidey mocked him.
"Excuse me?" Cage puts his arms crossed while giving Peter an intimidating look, thinking that he's making fun of him.
"You know, my Spider-Sense." Spidey calmly answered him. "One of these days I'll think of something cooler to call it. But until then…"
"Fine. Good. You've got an extra sense. Now use it to its full potential."
"What do you mean, exactly?"
"You can see all your opponents before they see you; figure out who you take out first…and I need that exact skill right now."
"What do you need?" Spidey asked.
"I've got an informant in serious danger. There's a hit about to go down and I have no way to spot the shooter until it's too late, but you…"
"I could use my Spider-Sense as a sniper-sense. Nice…"
"Exactly. And you can bet there'll be more than one. Now I'll tell you where the informant is and then you can stake it out." Cage gives Peter a piece of paper of where his informant gonna be at, which Peter generously accepts and puts into his pocket.
"Okay, let's do this!" Spider-Man shoots out a web line to a nearby building and starts swinging to the hit location, not knowing that a mysterious figure is following behind him, undetected.
Peter arrives at the hit location and spots a large group of walking civilians as he lands on the edge of a flagpole. "This is the place. So many people though. Spider-Sense, do you thing." Using his spider-sense to its fullest potential, he managed to spot the informant standing at one of the sidewalks while amidst a group of people, "Got the informant! Now where are the bad guys?" Again using the power of his extraordinary spider-sense, Peter managed to make out four of the assassins trying to kill the informant, "There they are."
BGM-Spider-Man: Web of Shadows OST- Protect the Innocent (OST version)
One of the thugs take out their gun and would've used it to kill the informant, but someone with webbing yanks it out of his hands. "Nah ah ah. Haven't you guys heard? No use of guns until you guys get beat up so you can't use them." Spider-Man quipped before knocking the lights out of that one goon. He vaults over and cartwheel kicks the second goon to the ground before firing a web ball at the third goon's face before being tossed to a wall. "Okay, where's the last clown?" Spidey asked, using his spider-sense to turn around and see the last goon holding woman wearing shades, a hat, and a red/black dress hostage.
"Try anything funny, webhead, and I'll blow her brains out!" The thug said while pointing his gun to his awfully calm and collected hostage, who doesn't seem that worried about her life, apparently confident in Spider-Man's abilities.
"Great, what should I do?" Spidey ponders to himself before looking up to the sky. "What do you think, Iron Man?" He shouts, causing the goon to stupidly look up in the sky to see if Iron Man really is there, but he isn't, leaving himself open. "Ha, idiot!" Spidey web yanks the goon's face to his face, knocking him out and saving the hostage. He walks over to the woman as the orange-dressed informant walks up to his hero. "You all in one piece?" The amazing arachnid asked the two.
BGM End
"Man, I owe you big time." The informant gives his hero a handshake.
"Don't thank me. Thank Mr. Cage." Spider-Man said to the man before turning to the woman. "And how about you? Are you alright, miss?" He asked the woman.
"I was never in danger since I had full confidence in your skills, Spider-Man, but still, thank you." The woman with a familiar-sounding voice said to Spidey, but Peter is too busy and oblivious to really think hard about it.
"You're welcome, miss. Hope you two stay safe." Spidey said before web swings back to the park to tell Cage mission success.
"Man, Spider-Man is truly whack, you think?" The gangster informant asked the white-haired and white-skinned woman next to him.
"Yes, he's truly…whack." The woman replied, not used and hating to say words like that. She sees the man walk away, leaving her all by her lonesome to stare at Spider-Man swing farther and farther away. The woman lets out a simple grunt, hating to blend in to those she sees as inferior, "Having to blend in with the humans. How excruciating." She takes off her shades to reveal her red, evilish looking eyes, with those eyes actually belonging to Salem, who has been stalking Spider-Man for the past couple of hours. "Thankfully, thanks to this symbiote, we are invisible to the Spider's physic senses, so he has no idea that we've been tailing him to learn more about his abilities and progress with his symbiote first-hand. Why does a boy, whose powers and potential could surpass the gods, waste his time solving trivial, human conflict? Now we understand where Osborn is coming from. How frustrating to see such wasted talent on those that are destined to be his eternal inferiors. No matter. In time, he'll learn what 'Great Power' really is, and how to properly bring it out to their fullest potential." She said with a hidden smile before teleporting away with the shadows.
Salem teleports herself back to the park where Luke and Spidey are meeting up by using her symbiote to go into camouflage mode and keep a distance from the two heroes. "Good job, Spidey. You've really helped me out here." Luke Cage said, complimenting Spidey on a job well done.
"Hey, it's what heroes do, am I right?" Spidey asked him with his usual, go-lucky attitude.
"Yes, indeed. Always remember that Spider-Sense of yours will ALWAYS give you the advantage." Cage replied.
"It has saved me countless times in the past." Spidey responded.
"Yeah, especially for someone who possess tons of potential, but no skills." Cage said, immediately getting Spidey's attention.
"Wait a sec! You said before that I had unique skills. What more are you asking for when I've already trained with the best of the best?" Spidey asked, referencing his training with Shang Chi, the Avengers, and some other, more experienced fighters than him.
"I mean you're going toe to toe with everybody. With your speed, you should be coming in quick and getting out." Luke told him.
"How do you mean?"
"I can train you if you're willing to learn." Cage said, offering to train Spider-Man a bit.
Spidey claps his hands together. "All right. I have nothing better to do. Let's do it."
Another section of Harlem
BGM-Spider-Man: Web of Shadows OST-Tutorial Mission
In a small backyard filled with some trash cans and garbage, Salem watches from the rooftop to observe Spider-Man's training with Luke Cage to give him new attack methods involving his spider-speed and strength.
"Okay, little dude, wait here." Luke Cage said to Peter as he runs to the other end of the backyard and gets into position. "Now come at me from there! Hard as you can!"
"Alright!" Peter said, gets into fighting position from the other end of the backyard.
"Ready? Go!" Luke prompts Peter to begin with his 'Web-Strike' training, a technique that allows him to attack his opponents at lightning, spider speed from the air, without his opponent unaware that he's about to be squashed.
Spider-Man jumps into the air and immediately launch a fast web line that attaches itself to Luke, pulling himself towards Luke in the air with his speed, but was too late to strike him. Cage grabs him and gently puts him down on the ground, giving the trying web-slinger a pat on the head, "Okay, but you were a little late."
Spidey heads back to his original spot and gets into fighting stance, "Go for it!" Luke tells Peter. The amazing teenage superhero does another attempt with his Web Strike, but this time was too early with his attack. "That's alright. Just a little early." Luke said to Peter, not hearing the "Hmph" from a watching Salem above them, disappointed in Peter's progress and Luke's training lessons.
"Ahh! I can't do this!" Spidey said, feeling frustrated that he can't properly master the Web Strike technique.
"C'mon now! Don't quit on me! Try again! Focus!" Luke, with some encouraging words of hope, tells Peter to continue with his training, having a feeling it might be useful in the coming days.
Feeling a little more hopeful, Spidey begins his training again and performs his third Web Strike technique. With all his focus and might, time seems to slow down around Peter, giving him enough time and successfully perform the Web Strike on Cage, leaving Salem a bit impressed on how quickly he managed to improve. "Good! Just like that!" Cage said to Peter. Spidey does a couple more Web Strikes on Cage, with each strike continuously getting sharper, faster, and more heavy. "You got some moves; I'll give you that. Not gonna hold back anymore though. Let's go." Luke said, now ready to counter all of Spidey's strikes unless he does something about it.
For the next few minutes, Spider-Man uses his new Web Strike move to abort Luke's punches and over-counter his attacks at light-breaking speeds, leaving Salem to silently observe from above and learn his techniques so she could know how to counter and use them with her G-Symbiote, since of course, she now has all of Spider-Man's power and speed times 100 now.
"Hey Luke! Watch this one that I made up!" Spidey does yet another Web Strike attack from the air at breath-taking quickness, but he doesn't stop there. After successfully getting another hit on Luke Cage, Peter immediately uses his speed and strength to deliver a take-down hook punch, a turning backhand that launches Cage, then with an uppercut, followed by an inward upward-aimed spin kick to strike him away, all at rapid, vanishing succession. "Not done!" Spidey fires a quick web-line at the flying Luke Cage, and in an instant, flies over and punches him to the ground in the middle of the trash cans, creating a small crater from impact.
"Ow. That one actually hurt. What do you call that move?" Luke asked as he gets up from the trash, wiping away some of the leftovers and dirty tissues.
"I call that move: Arachnid Fist. Combining my Web Strikes with my skills as part-spider to their highest limit." Spider-Man informed Luke Cage about this new technique he just made up from the fly.
"Okay. That's what I want to see. You've managed to already master your new move and put variety into it. Now let's go someplace else to continue your training." Luke said to Peter, getting the invisible Salem's interest.
"Bring it on!" Spidey said.
BGM End
BGM-Spider-Man: Web of Shadows OST-Tutorial Mission (OST ver.)
On top of a rooftop building, right in the middle of an empty neighborhood in Harlem, Spider-Man and Luke Cage (As well as Salem who is hiding in the shadows), sees a couple of thugs lined up in front of apartment doors, keeping the innocent civilians inside their homes unless they want to get shot.
"You have the perfect skill for stopping the extortion racket these gangs have been running." Luke Cage said to Spider-Man, standing right next to him.
"I do?" Spider-Man asked, confused.
"These thugs will stand in front of every door on the street, intimidating the good folks who live there into paying protection money!"
"Now that's just mean." Spidey said, trying to intimidate a child's voice and tone so he could be funny.
"But you could use your speed to hit one after another, jumping from one guy to the next."
"I'll give it a try."
"You can start right here with these fools. Keep diminishing them with those web attacks." Cage said, pointing to the first batch of thugs on the streets.
"Let's do this!" Spidey said, leaping from the rooftop and immediately starts using his Web Strikes to attack all three goons before they could even blink and turn around. "Too easy. Piece of cake."
Spidey then meets with Mr. Cage on top of another rooftop to take down a second batch of gangsters. "I knew you could do it! I got another group for you!" Cage said to Peter.
"Show me where." Spidey replied.
Cage points Peter to the enemies below them. "Now this is a bigger group. Remember to keep your momentum up. Keep moving."
"Oh, I'll momentum them right into next week." Spidey said, before jumping off the rooftop and performing the same procedure as before, striking down his foes with a whirlwind strikes of arachnid fury before meeting back with Luke on another rooftop building.
"That is working. Another group just showed up. Seven of them this time." Cage points him to the gangs below them.
"Do these knuckleheads try this racket all day and night?" Spidey asked Cage, already getting sick of these goons and their trivial antics.
"Pretty much, yeah. Now get the drop on them. They know you there, they'll bolt." Cage tells Peter to be careful when performing his Web Strikes on the thugs.
BGM End
BGM-Spider-Man: Web of Shadows OST-Mission Accomplished 2
Just like last time, Spider-Man takes care of all the bad guys in less than five seconds, verily impressing both Luke Cage and a hiding Salem not far from the heroes. "Spidey, you might be the answer to my problems. With all this pressure on the gangs, maybe the good folks around here can take back the streets." Cage said to Peter.
BGM End
"We need a more permanent solution. All we've done is push them out for a day." Spidey said, wanting to get this gang war done and over with.
"Too true. We need a deal. We need to parley with the leaders." Cage suggested to Spider-Man a way to stop this war once and for all.
"How are we gonna pull that off without them killing each other?" Spidey asked Luke Cage.
"These guys' lives revolve around reputations and who did what to whom or for whom. Simple. Do them a favor." Luke Cage replied.
"You're kidding, right? These guys are like public enemy number one, and two."
"The Park Avenues are gonna try and take out the leader of the Rolling Sevens. Follow the cars on the way to make the hit, stop them, and the Sevens will owe you."
"As long as it's a favor. I don't want to become an honorary member or a new, chief thug or anything." Spidey said before he swings away to find the Rolling 7's hideout and save their leader from the Park Avenues.
Still unaware of the bigger picture or the more dangerous enemy, Spider-Man leaves without knowing of Salem right behind him through the shadows, smiling. "It would seem that the Spider is gonna be a lot busier for quite a while. Good. This gives us enough time for our plans to develop in secret. Venom, how's the progress on our 'experiment'?" She asked Venom through the G-Symbiote's hive mind so he could hear her from anywhere in the city.
New York Sewers
In the deepest parts of the sewer below the city, Venom is seen standing beside a dark and monstrous-looking symbiote pod with teeth and a long tongue, with that same tongue capturing the good and scared folk working in the sewers into its pods, devouring them as a whole, and a few seconds later they come out as white or black, monstrous-looking symbiotes with no eyes and walking like zombies.
Venom chuckles a bit with his teeth showing, liking how the experiment is a success. "Everything is going perfect. Very…very…perfect." He responded to Salem's question before he lets out a small, evilish laugh as his 'children' stand before him and praise their 'father' with growls and roars.
BGM- Spider-Man: The Animated Series OST (1994)- Ending Theme
Spider-Man: Sup, I'm Spider-Man. I've agreed with Luke to set up a parley with the gangs. Hopefully this will turn out alright and stop them from trying to see who has the bigger sausage in this town. Wait. Who are those guys with the high-tech armor and equipment? Spider-Sense's telling me they're bad, so I should stop them before take out the gang leaders and turn this into a bigger mess than it already is.
Next time on Spider-Man and Cinder: Flaming Web of Light and Shadow-
Parley in the Park
Cinder: More symbiotes? Is this Venom's Semblance?
KFX here: It'll be a while before the symbiotes start invading the city, but until then read as Spider-Man ends a gang war next chapter, as well as Cinder having to fight some symbiotes. And in case any of you are wondering, I will only be writing one ending for this story. Don't want to bother writing multiple endings because I'm lazy. Which ending I'm doing?
