I DON'T OWN ANYTHING
Chapter Seven: Friend or Foe?
It was a rock in a hard place. Minutes ago, Venom and Lucy were trying to tear each other apart. Now the two are back to back, surrounded by SAT soldiers sent to capture the two.
"What the hell we're supposed to do now?" Lucy whispered to Agent Venom.
"Let me talk to them. I can handle this." Venom answered the horned girl.
The female Agent then exited her combat vehicle with a megaphone in hand. She then put it in front of her mouth and said "Look you two. You got two options. Come with us or we'll shoot. It's up to you."
"Look your interfering with a United States Military investigation of your facility." Venom responded.
Lucy raised an eyebrow and thought to herself "He's part of the American Army? And is investigating that hellhole? Maybe he isn't so bad."
"And you can either let me talk to this young lady who isn't a big fan of you guys or things will go ugly for you guys." Venom finished his command to the SAT soldiers.
"Shoot." The Agent then told SAT captain.
"Ready!" The captain said as he and the other soldiers raised their weapons.
"Sir do I have permission to use my licenses to kill?" Venom asked Hodge through his headset.
"Aim!" The captain continued.
"Permission granted." Hodge responded.
"Fire!" Venom interrupted the SAT captain as he pulled out his SMGs and opened fire.
Immediately a couple soldiers went limp as Venom unleashed his weapons. The other soldiers opened fire as Venom created a shield from his arm to protect himself as Lucy used her vectors to block the bullets.
"Those arms are bulletproof?" Venom asked as he and Lucy went for cover.
"They can do a lot of things." Lucy said coldly.
The two hid behind a dumpster as the soldiers hunt them down.
"Look, trust me or not, these ass hats are not shaken by the fact America is on to them. So I need you to fight so we won't get captured." Venom ordered his forced ally.
"I can't." Lucy whispered.
"Why the hell not?" Venom asked in annoyance.
"I made a promise not to kill humans." Lucy said.
"You freaking tried to flatten my ass!" Venom retorted the horned girl.
"You forced my hand!" Lucy argued at Flash.
"And they aren't? Look you may have promised someone important not to be a killer and seeing your body count, you need to stop. But, this is your chance to help know who the hell they are! What you described them and how desperate you are to not go back to the facility, they are a new generation of Nazis. So help me end this so you can be free!" Venom demanded at the horned girl.
As the SAT soldiers came closer to them, Lucy stood there in disbelief, someone finally found out the facility is hell itself, and has powerful allies to back him up.
"So will you help me Lucy?" Venom said as he gave a hand in front of her.
"Yes." Lucy said as she grabs Venom's hand; know that he's a genuine ally.
"Okay, here's the game plan, you flank left and distract them since you're the main target and I'll flank behind them and mow them down." Venom ordered Lucy as if they're at war.
Lucy nodded and ran out of cover and used her vectors as shielding. Instantly the soldiers started to shoot her in vain.
Venom then reloaded his SMGs and said "This is going to be fun." as he smirked.
Venom the web swinged behind the soldiers and opened fire, killing several. Lucy the used her vectors to slice the throats and arms of her enemies with her vectors (due to them being weaker and can't slice the body like she used too.)
"Dammit! Get the sonic guns and blast the webbed bastard!" Agent yelled at the soldiers as the two grabbed their high-tech guns. They then aimed at Venom and pull the trigger.
"Aaaaaaggggghhhhh!" Venom screamed in pain as the weapons weaken the symbiote. Agent then ran towards Venom with a vacuum looking device and started sucking some of the symbiote.
"Not so fast!" Venom said as he punched Agent so hard that she flew a few feet behind her. Agent hit the wall that was behind her, but she recovered quickly with a symbiote sample in her device.
"You okay Luce?" Venom said as he regains his symbiote. He saw Lucy using a dead soldier as a meat shield while soldiers shot at the corpse.
"Fine!" Lucy said in frustration.
Suddenly Lucy went limp as she notices she was shot in the thigh and noticed who shot her, the Agent.
"Lucy!" Venom screamed as the soldiers begin to surround her. Venom was so enraged that the symbiote gain some control over him as he grew claws and teeth, but still had his military get up. He immediately ran towards Lucy to save her.
"Die!" Venom said as he slaughtered the soldiers. Once her tore them to shreds, he instantly calmed down and returned to normal.
"Retreat! We at least have a sample of the symbiote!" Agent yelled to any surviving soldier.
"Sample? Shit they wanted the suit and Lucy!" Venom cursed as he was ready to finish the SAT units, only to realize Lucy needed him.
"Dammit, must let then leave! Luce needs me!" Venom thought to himself as he came to her aid while the SAT soldiers left to the distance.
"It hurts..." Lucy said as she lie on the floor in agony.
"I'm here." Venom said in a comforting tone.
Venom then grew thin claws from his fingers as he dug into Lucy's wound. She screamed but Venom then said "I know it hurts, but I need to remove the bullet."
Once he removed the slug, he grabbed his first aid kit and pulled out a small bottle containing a blue liquid. He poured on Lucy's wound and she screamed again.
"Don't worry, this will clean and start the healing process more quickly than normal." Venom said as he made a bandage out of his webbing to finish sealing her wound.
"There done!" Venom said as he helped Lucy up.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Better thanks." Lucy said quickly still struggling to stand.
"So do you trust me now?" Venom asked the horned girl to confirm their alliance.
"Now I do. But who the hell are you?" Lucy asked.
"Alrighty I'll tell the holy truth, my codename is Venom but I'm really an amputee veteran slash former highschool jock slash green beret Eugene aka Flash Thompson. I was sent here to find what the Diclonius Research Facility is. I heard you're their prime target so I assumed you know a lot about it. So what's your story?" Venom told his story then asked Lucy.
"My story isn't for the faint of heart "Venom". I'll tell you, but I'm too damn tired to even stand, please take me away from here." Lucy pleaded weekly.
"Got anywhere to lay low?" Venom asked.
"Maple Inn. But it's hours away." Lucy told the symbiote agent.
"Don't worry I'll web swing there. Just hop on my back, hold tight, and give directions.
Hesitant at first, Lucy piggy backed Venom and held him tight.
"And don't worry. My girlfriend would be okay about this if she finds out." Venom joked as Lucy's cheek went bright red.
Venom then shot a web line to the highest building as they made their way to the Maple Inn, Lucy's only place that will welcome her as family.
To be continued.
