The Uncanny New Mutants

Chapter 25: Symbiosis- Part 2

By

The Uncanny R-Man

Disclaimer- All familiar characters belong to Marvel. I only own August and She-Venom/Toxin.

Shout Outs-

Showstopper- You'll see more of the new symbiote in 'The Uncanny Spider-Man' soon enough. Also, while you're at it, I'd really appreciate it if you read my other ARM-Verse stories.

Agent-G- You're forgetting Amara, she's got fire powers too. Spidey isn't the only one that they're gonna meet, think big, strong and completely nuts.

The Blackbird-

Wolfsbane, Warlock, August, Nightcrawler, Magma and Wisdom were flying across New York on their way to Central Park to battle the symbiotic mutant that August had christened 'She-Venom.'

'I still think we need more X-Men.' Wisdom said. 'This She-Venom bird looks bloody dangerous!'

'What's the matter, Wisdom?' August asked. 'Scared?'

'No, I'm just concerned.' Wisdom replied. 'Even though we've got two birds here with fire powers, we could be in it over our heads!'

'When aren't we?' Nightcrawler asked form the pilot's seat. 'This is just a normal day for the X-Men.'

'Uncanny New Mutants, remember?' Wolfsbane replied. 'Isn't that what we've called ourselves?'

'You're the boss.' Nightcrawler shrugged as he turned back to the controls.

'Heads up everybody.' Warlock said as he turned from the window. 'Our girl's kicking up a stink!'

The team was about to disembark when the Blackbird was rocked by an energy blast from the mutant below.

'Gee, what gives yer that idea?' Wisdom muttered as he got up off the floor. 'We ready to go?'

'That's if we don't crash.' Magma replied. 'Now you guys know why I don't like flying!'

'Kurt, you find somewhere safe to land while we take her on, okay?' Wolfsbane said, switching into leader mode. 'August, 'Mara, you're first.'

August and Magma took their places as the entry hatch slid open.

'Is it me or does it feel like we've been handed a death sentence?' August asked as she readied up a fireball.

'It's not you.' Magma replied as she changed into her Magma form.

The two fire-wielding mutants leapt from the Blackbird, shooting jets of flame as they approached the ground. Warlock, Wisdom and Wolfsbane were next as Warlock morphed into a parachute as they all jumped out.

Several blocks away-

Spider-Man was swinging across the New York skyline in search of crime. He had left his wife and an ex back at the apartment where they were supposed to be having dinner together. The police sirens that disturbed their dinner had turned out to be heading to a bank robbery, which was foiled pretty quickly.

Spidey was about to give up and go home when he heard explosions coming from Central Park.

'At last, some decent action!' He said as he changed direction in mid-air and headed towards the sounds of fighting.

Once Spider-Man got there, he saw several figures fighting a suspiciously familiar looking figure.

'Oh great, just what I need.' Spidey groaned. 'I'm supposed to be having dinner with my beautiful wife and an ex-girlfriend and Venom comes back to screw everything up. Just brilliant!'

Spidey leapt down to join the fray.

'I hope you don't mind if I cut in.' He said as he landed on 'Venom's' back. 'Wait, you're not Eddie Brock!'

'I'll say!' The new symbiote replied. 'The names Toxin, not that you'll live all that longer to use it!'

'Yeah, Brock used to say that all the time.' Spidey replied as he flipped of Toxin's back, just as she tried to fry him with an energy bolt.

'About time you joined us.' Wolfsbane said as she grabbed some random bystanders away from the fight. 'This lass may be new but she's kinda your department.'

'What? Just because she's a nut job with an alien suit, that makes her my department?' Spidey replied as he dodged another energy blast. 'Thanks a bunch!'

'Yer know what Spider-Bloke? Yer could cut the chatter and bloody well help us if yer want.' Wisdom muttered as he leapt behind a tree.

'But that's my thing.' Spidey replied as he looked down at the Brit shooting off blades of thermal energy from his fingers. 'Without my quips, I'm just another cute guy in a costume!'

Spidey leapt from the tree as another energy blast came his way.

'What's with the energy blasts anyway? Symbiotes don't generally do that, it's mostly icky black stuff.'

'She's a mutant.' Nightcrawler replied as he bamfed beside the wall-crawler. 'So she's our problem as well as yours.'

'Well isn't this just peachy?' Spidey muttered as he leapt at Toxin again. 'A symbiote attached to a mutant host, wonderful!'

'I don't think this is working!' August said as Toxin shrugged off a fireball. 'My fire powers are useless!'

'My powers aren't having any affect either!' Magma added. 'Since when have symbiotes been immune to fire?'

'I am the new breed!' Toxin replied as she lashed out with inky black tendrils. 'I am invincible!'

'Y'know, you newbies are all alike.' Spidey said as he dodged the tendrils. 'You're all 'I'm invincible, I am power' but you're little more than a walk in the park.'

'I'll crush you and sup the marrow form your bones!' Toxin yelled as she grabbed Spidey. 'I'll show you newbies!'

'Leave the Spider alone!'

'What?' Toxin said as she spun around in order to see who spoke. She was knocked to the ground, making her lose her grip on Spider-Man.

'Leave the Spider, he is ours!'

Spider-Man and the Uncanny New Mutants watched as Toxin lashed out at the attacker, the psychotic symbiote known as Venom!

'Oh great.' Wolfsbane groaned. 'Now we've got to of them!'

'Just think yourself lucky that Carnage isn't here.' Spidey replied. 'Then we'd be having a real party!'

'Well what are we gonna do now?' Wisdom asked. 'Are we gonna fight or stand around with our thumbs up our arses?'

'The British guy's right.' Spider-Man replied as Venom began pummelling Toxin. 'We have to do something before these two trash the whole park!'

'Well we're open to suggestions.' August replied as she ducked a stray hotdog stand being thrown her way. 'Fire won't work on her and we don't have anybody with sonic powers!'

'I've got it!' Warlock said. 'One sonic blaster coming right up!'

Warlock quickly morphed into one of the only things that could harm symbiotes, a gun that emitted sonic waves!

Wolfsbane caught Warlock and pointed it towards the battling symbiotes.

'Hey you two, say cheese!'

Venom and Toxin stopped tearing at each other to look at the werewolf with the big gun.

Spidey and the other Uncanny New Mutants clutched their ears as Wolfsbane blasted the symbiotes with the Warlock sonic blaster. The two symbiotes separated and let out identical screams of pain.

'Pile it on!' Wolfsbane instructed the others. 'They're weak, go get 'em!'

Everybody did as they were told and attacked the two symbiotes as one. Nightcrawler repeatedly teleported them around while Magma and August blasted Venom and Toxin with jest of flam and Wisdom blasted them with hot knives. Spider-Man added his two cents as he battered them with flurries of kicks and punches while Wolfsbane piled on the sonic waves.

Everybody stopped as the two symbiotes collapsed under the combined strain of teleporting, punches and kicks, thermal energy, fireballs and sonic waves.

'Well that was deceptively easy.' Warlock said as he changed back to his regular form. 'Any idea what we're gonna do with these guys now?'

'I guess I'll take them over to Reed Richards.' Spider-Man replied as he webbed up a makeshift container. 'He'll be able to contain the symbiotes until SHIELD takes them into custody.'

'I guess that that leaves Brock and the girl for the regular cops.' Wolfsbane said. 'Well, it was nice working with you Spider-Man.'

'The feeling's mutual.' Spider-Man said as he shook the werewolf's hand. 'You're doing a top-notch job of leading these guys.'

'Thanks.' Wolfsbane replied, blushing slightly. 'It's always nice to get compliments from veterans.'

'Okay, now you're making me feel old.' Spidey chuckled as he tied the web container to his back. 'I'd better get back, I've got a hit wife to get back to.'

Wolfsbane and the others watched as Spider-Man swung away into the distance.

'I didn't know Spider-Man was married.' August said.

'You and me both, love.' Wisdom replied. 'I always thought he was gay.'
