Matsu was busy typing away at her computer in the lair that was her hidden room. It was all dark aside from the light the numerous monitors gave off and the whirring of the computers working were a constant sound. She was scanning through the MBI files to see if he could find any useful information when she came across a new entry log. "Sekirei #10 Uzume, Damage level: 4" Matsu said to herself with a gasp "Uzume-tans been hurt!" yelled Matsu so everyone in the inn could hear her. Within seconds the sound of footsteps could be heard running along the floor and up the steps towards her 'hidden' room. The door slid open revealing Minato along with his Sekirei as well as Miya with a serious look on her face. "What happened to Uzume-san?" asked Minato "She's been hurt, and pretty badly too" said Matsu. "What are we doing sitting around here for? Where is she, Matsu?" asked Tsukiumi "She's at the MBI hospital. So anyone who isn't her Ashikabi won't be able to retrieve her. I do believe we can go visit though." Suddenly the room go very cold and a foreboding feeling clung to the atmosphere. Miya shoved her way through the small crowd that had gathered in Matsu's room and sat down directly in front of Matsu. "Matsu-san" said Miya "y-yes Miya-tan?" "I want you to tell me what kind of injuries she's taken and who did this." Matsu nodded her head with wide eyes in fear of the silent rage boiling within Miya. Matsu had never seen her quite this angry before and was certain that whoever did this was going to pay. "U-um, the Injuries she sustained a-are, wow that's a lot." Said Matsu in a surprised voice "Matsu" came Miya's voice "R-right, sorry about that. Her injuries are; two broken arms, two fractured legs, internal bleeding, severe concussion and a broken back."

When Matsu finished her report everyone stared at her with wide eyes in disbelief. To think that someone could do something so horrible to their friend made them all shiver with a hint of worry and fear. Even Tsukiumi cringed with worry for her brunette friend. "Matsu, I want you to tell me who did this" said Miya. "H-hai Miya-tan, there is no documentation of who dropped her off but there was a camera recording around the same time she was admitted" "Play it." Matsu typed a few more keys and a video feed came up on her monitor. The camera sowed the time to be 12:43 P.M. so it was around noon and was aimed at the entrance of MBI. They continued to watch the video for a few more seconds until they saw a large black blur fly past the screen and land at the entrance. It was holding Uzume bridal style until it literally just dropped her at the entrance. Everyone in the room gasped as they saw Uzume hit the ground with a large thud. They all stayed silent until they saw the person turn around only to show that it was no person at all. Once more everyone gasped as Venom turned towards the camera and idly waved at it with a wicked smile that showed off his teeth. "That is two of my precious tenants that monster has hurt now. I will no longer stand by and watch this happen. Something must be done and soon."

Venom swung through the skyscrapers of Shinto Teito, listening to all the gasps and screams of all the people that saw him from below causing him to chuckle. "I'd better get to the hospital before the bitch in black decides to start the fun without me." Venom said to himself mid swing. He swung through the city for a few more minutes until the hospital finally came into view and he could see Karasuba sitting on the ledge of an apartment building across the street waiting for him. He landed on the other side of the building without a sound and began to sneak his way up behind her. He continually crept his way towards her and when he was finally right behind her, he opened his mouth as wide as it would go. As he was about to take a bite out of her the collar around his neck began to pulsate with electricity and caused him to scream out in pain. "Bruce-kun, you should know by now that's not going to work on me. How many times have we danced this dance?" said Karasuba as she waved the remote around in her hand without facing him "A man can dream cant he? Plus I bet you taste as exotic as you look." "I probably do, but you'll never have the chance to find out. Now get down there and do your job." Venom huffed with annoyance but complied none the less. He walked over towards the ledge of the building and was about to jump off when Karasuba spoke up again. "I'm looking forward to seeing you work again Bruce-kun; you look so handsome when you're having fun." Venom just smiled wickedly in response and jumped off the roof of the building landing on the pavement below, as well as a few pedestrians.

People began to scream and run while shouting "Demon! Monster! Freak!" Venom just sighed in annoyance at them. Across the street lied Higa pharmaceuticals, his destination, and the location of the man he was supposed to kill. And by god or whatever other entity was he going to do it. Those weekends off were going to be his god damn it!

Within the hospital, alarms were going off and people were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Higa however being the smug bastard that he was was completely calm. With the push of a button Higa summoned Kakizaki to his office, for Kakizaki being the kiss ass that he was, was never far from Higa. "You called for me sir?" asked Higa who had a look of concern on his face. "It would seem that our monster has finally decided to show up. I want you to gather all my Sekirei and have them 'meet' with him and bring him here." "Are you sure that is wise sir, we have yet to hear back from #10 about his intentions." Higa shot Kakizaki a dangerous glance from his desk, causing Kakizaki to develop a small sweat. "Did you not hear me Kakizaki; I said tell the Sekirei to go and meet with him." "At once sir"

Across the street from the hospital, Venom stood upon the sidewalk looking into space. Most people ran away at the sight of him but some stood a good distance away and watched with interest and wonder at what he was going to do. Venom sighed to himself and after a few seconds began to walk across the street. A car was speeding down the street and venom turned his head at the idiot. Before the car was about to hit him, Venom raised his fist and brought it down on the hood of the car, causing it to flip end over end and go above him. The driver of said vehicle could only scream in terror as he was now mid air and the car begun to descend on top of venom. However, the car suddenly stopped mid air and the driver could only help but wonder what happened. He looked out his window and to his surprise Venom had actually caught the car. "Hello sir, speeding is against the law, so I'll have to see your licence and registration." "U-um, ok, ju-just give me a minute" Venom began to lean the car backwards so the front end of the car was facing skywards "Take all the time you need sir, and remember to always wear your SEATBELT!" Venom yelled as he threw the car towards the front of the hospital.

People screamed in panic as they saw a car that was somehow sailing through the air go flying across the street and crash into the third story window of the hospital. "Well, that was fun." Venom walked into the parking lot of the hospital and was stopped when he heard a feminine voice from behind him "You idiot! Do you have any idea how upset Higa-Sama is going to be!?" He turned around and was met with the sight of 4 females in various outfits.

One had orange hair and a yellow and black jumpsuit that hugged her slim figure. Another was a small girl that looked to be wearing some kind of maid outfit with a purple ribbon to go along with her purple hair. The next was one was tall and had short black hair with a revealing yellow and purple uniform that crisscrossed across her body revealing her stomach. The last had long green hair and some kind of white and purple shirt that only covered her breasts and revealed her midriff and carried a staff.

"And who are you four idiots?" asked Venom. The one with the long green hair walked past her comrades to introduce herself. "I am Sekirei #16, Toyotama." The next one to step up was the tall one with short black hair. "Sekirei #18, Ichiya" next to step up was the short one with the maid outfit 'Sekirei #101, Oriha" last but not least was the orange haired jumpsuit lady "Sekirei# 86, Katsuragi" After introductions were done Toyotama walked up to Venom who looked bored as hell and was picking his teeth. "We are Higa's Sekirei and you are going to be coming with us whether you like it or not. Do you hear me monster?" "Yeah, yeah I hear you. Except there's one little problem with that plan of yours" "And what would that be?" She said while putting her hands on her hips with a smug look on her face. Venom stopped picking his teeth, and brought his face very close to toyotama's "The problem is that I don't exactly like being told what to do" Venom grabbed Toyotama by the face, his large hand covering her entire head. The other 3 Sekirei, seeing their comrade man handled dashed at venom.

Ichiya went in first to kick Venom in the head but he raised Toyotama and used her as a shield. Toyotama's screams were muffled by Venom's giant palm that still held her face. She struggled to get free but there was nothing she could do against his massive strength. Venom then used his free hand and grabbed the still mid air Ichiya by the leg and swung her around and threw her into Katsuragi, causing the both of them to go flying across the parking lot and into a parked Hummer causing it to bend and the glass to break. Needless to say that thing was totalled. Venom then heard a battle cry that he tried hard not to laugh at come from behind him. He saw the small girl in the maid outfit cross her arms and several blades discs appeared from behind her. "Sorry but I don't play fetch" "Too bad, I was hoping you would catch one with your teeth" said the small girl in retort. She extended her arms forward causing the discs to fly at Venom who let out a huff of annoyance. Once more he raised Toyotama in front of him to use as a shield.

Oriha screamed in surprise and willed the discs to fly to the sides at the last second. So instead of implanting themselves into Toyotama they only sliced her back which caused her to scream in pain which was once again muffled by Venom's hand. "Well this is ironic, you guys call me an idiot and yet you're the ones without any teamwork, coordination or strategy. Did you seriously think it was going to be that easy? I'm hurt, mentally anyway."

Toyotama was in a pinch to say the least, this thing her by the head and was not letting go, let alone loosening its grip. Her Teammates were udder garbage considering she got kicked and sliced already. She didn't know how much more of this she could take. Until she had an idea anyway, Toyotama began to continuously open and close her hands hoping that one of her teammates would see and get the idea.

Oriha was looking at Toyotama with a curious look. She kept opening and closing her hands. Oriha was confused for a minute until she finally understood, she willed two of her discs into Toyotama's hands who grabbed them and sliced upwards, cutting Venoms arm causing him to hiss in pain and loosen his grip on her head. Finally free from the death grip, Toyotama frantically grabbed her staff which she dropped and used it to uppercut venom who was still distracted. His bottom jaw collided with his upper one causing a few teeth to break and him to go sailing on top of another vehicle. Luckily that was no problem for Venom since he was, well you know, Venom. His teeth grew back and the small cut on his arm healed in a matter of seconds. He propped himself off the car and looked at the small duo with a look of contempt. 'Wait a minute, Where are the other two?' Venom thought to himself before he felt something hit into his back causing him to stumble a few steps forward. "If you think it would be that easy to get rid of us you're sorely mistaken Freak!" yelled Ichiya who had a few bruises along with Katsuragi who nodded in agreement. "Four opponents at once, man this is going to be a tough day. Guess I got to use it, too bad though, I wanted it to be surprise." "What are you talking about; you can't honestly hope to beat all four of us at once." Said Toyotama, Venom just looked at her with a bored expression and shook his head. "I'm going to take that staff of yours and turn you all into shish kabob. Prepare yourself, none of you are leaving here, alive anyways."

Suddenly, Venom began to grow in size and four growths could be seen coming out from his shoulders, two on each side. To everyone's surprise and disgust, Arms popped out of the growths with a disgusting bone crunching sound. His eyes changed from white to a deathly red and two maws opened up on the sides of his neck and shoulders. Venom now stood 13 feet tall and looked even more nightmarish than he already did. The four Sekirei grouped together and looked at their adversary with an extreme look of fear.

"Toyotama" said Ichiya with a crack in her voice "We can't stop that" "I know, screw Higa, we're getting out of here." The other 3 Sekirei nodded in agreement and began to bound away only to be stopped mid air and fall to the ground. All four looked to their legs and saw a thick line of webbing attacked to each one. "I recall saying that none of you were leaving here, or did you not hear me?" All four Sekirei eyes widened at the implication and hastily began to get up to run. Before they could, Venom pulled the web line causing all four Sekirei to trip. Venom started to drag the four towards him and laughed when he saw them all trying to claw at the pavement to get away. "Oriha, use your discs and cut the line! Hurry!" "Do you mean these?" said Venom as he raised a clenched hand and loosened it, causing several broken and battered discs to fall to the ground. "When did yo-They're pretty easy to catch with six arms"

That was when Higa's Sekirei realized how royally screwed they were. Venom finally pulled all of them towards him and held each one by the throat with his fake arms while his two real ones were crossed over his chest. "Now then, how should I do this? I can rip off all of your limbs and watch you all bleed out while looking like tree stumps. Or I can gouge out your eyes and eat your brains. Wait a minute, I know!" Said Venom as he looked around and spotted Toyotama's staff. He shot a web line at it and yanked it towards him. "I forgot, I said I was going to turn you all into SHISH KABOB!" yelled Venom as he grabbed the staff and impaled it though Ichiya's stomach causing her to scream out in pain and cough out blood. "Fuck you! I swear I'm going to kill you" yelled Ichiya as she grabbed the staff with both her hands to try and lessen the pain, alive but barely, she'd be dead in a minute or so "Time for the next addition, now who should be next" Venom looked at each of their faces and saw fear. All except for Katsuragi who had a stoic face. He brought his face close to hers "Are you not afraid of death?" "I-I do not fear. My Ashikabi does not love me, life is not worth living as it is" "Then I give you the choice, I can let you go to continue your miserable existence, or I can end it now." "… End it" Katsuragi screamed in pain as she was next impaled on Toyotama's staff. "Thank you…"

"Strange girl, next!" venom looked between the last two survivors, Toyotama and Oriha. Oriha was crying and Toyotama had tears in her eyes. "How can you be so cruel and heartless?" Oriha managed to choke out. "You are young; you have yet to understand that the world is filled with 'people' like me. Take Higa for example, he sent you four here knowing full well that you would probably all die." "All he wanted was to talk with you, was that so much to ask for?" 'No, no it wasn't" "Then why?" "Because this is much more fun" Oriha's eyes went wide as she felt the staff go through her stomach and out her back. She let out a pained grunt and struggled for a minute before she finally went limp and dangled on the staff. "Y-you monster! She was just a kid!" She was also a Sekirei, and if I didn't kill her then someone else would have, do you not understand that you idiots are in a death match? How many have you killed? How many people's hearts have you broken? Face it; you're just as bad as me." Toyotama's eyes went wide. As much as she hated this thing, she had to admit, he was right. They were all in a tournament to the death and there could only be one winner.

"What are you?" "I'm Batman" "Wha-" the staff impaled her through the heart, ending whatever question she had left. "Guess I'll go gut that worm now" he said as he morphed back into his base form. Dropping his Sekirei shish kabob he continued towards the entrance of the hospital.

Higa was frightened, no, he was terrified. He sent his Sekirei to go and talk with the monster to see if it could be reasoned with. It could not. He was told under that ferocious exterior there was a human underneath it. There was not. Humans could be reasoned with, monsters could not. He was in trouble.

Suddenly the power went out and the emergency lights came on, cloaking everything in a red light. From his office Higa could hear people screaming and running. Gunshots went off causing him to jump from his seat. After four shots and a loud scream all that was left was an eerie silence. Higa watched his door intently and slowly pulled a gun from one of the drawers on his desk. He waited for what seemed like an eternity until finally, nothing. Had he been forgotten?

"Drip, drop, the sound of blood" Higa screamed and shot blindly into the darkness hoping he would hit something, only to be met with the sound of metal striking metal. "Kakizaki, where the hell are you!? Get me out of here!" suddenly a voice came from behind him "I'm afraid I can't do that sir" "What? Kakizaki you bastard you'd better get me out of here or else!" "Or else what? There's nothing you can do to me. After all, I'm already dead" Higa looked around frantically until he finally saw a large mass sitting in a chair in the corner of the room. "Kakizaki I'm going to kill yo-AAAAHHH!"

Venom was sitting in the chair and was using Kakizaki's head as a hand puppet "What do you think? Pretty good ventriloquism, right?" Higa fell to the floor and scrambled for the door to try and run. He made it, but the door wouldn't open. Outside, the door was covered with webbing preventing anyone from getting in or out.

"Why are you doing this!? Is it money? Did a family member die here or something? Tell me what you want! I'll do anything!" "Anything?" "Yes! Anything, just please let me live!" Venom smiled evilly and began to walk towards Higa. "There is a small girl here named Chiho, I want you to transfer her to the MBI hospital" Higa nodded frantically and rushed towards his computer, after sending a few messages and pushing a few buttons "Done! Now can I please leave?" "No" "Y-You said you would let me live!" "I never said for how long"

A loud cracking sound echoed throughout the room, Higa looked around until finally realizing what it was, a thin line appeared on Venom's stomach and began to split open. A large mouth was now where his mid section once was, adorned with massive sharp teeth and a long tongue. Said tongue shot out and wrapped around Higa and slowly began to pull him towards the mouth. "N-NO PLEASE, STOP! NOT LIKE THIS! NOT LI-AAAHHH!" the last thing Higa saw was his office as he was devoured. "Fuck yeah! Weekends are mine!" yelled venom as he burst through the wall of Higa's office to the outside world.
