Symbiotes Unleashed.

Space Pirates. The main enemies of Samus. A ruthless group of loathsome creatures, Space Pirates have invaded and captured countless planets in the galaxy, raiding their resources and enslaving their inhabitants. Their insidious threat inspired the formation of the Federation Force. The Pirates have been responsible for some of the most disastrous events in Galactic history, such as the Phazon Crisis. They were known to be zealous of their right to rule that they would not only refer to the conquered planet as their own homeworld, they would also take the name of the previously dominant race, referring to themselves as the rightful inhabitants. But of course, as ruthless as they may be, few Space Pirates could ever match the pure evil of their boss, Ridley.

Currently, Ridley was traveling with his crew, searching for something worthwhile. He was getting bored by the lack of slaughter, and if they didn't find something soon, he might kill one of his own followers just to sate his blood lust for a few minutes. Suddenly The Pirate monitoring the scanners picked something up, that could hopefully improve Ridley's mood.

"Hey boss, we've picked up a large source of Phazon" The Pirate said.

"About bloody time. Bring us over there" Ridley ordered.

"Wait boss, there is more you need to know. The Phazon energy is... different" The Pirate said.

"What do you mean different? Is is a different color or something?" Ridley asked as he knew there was more than one type of Phazon.

"No, it's like it's mixed with something else. But we don't know what it is" The Pirate answered.

Ridley thinks for a moment before a twisted smirk spread on his face "Interesting. Hurry up and bring us there".

"But boss we have no idea what it-" The Pirate began until Ridley gave him a look that just dared him to defy his orders "Right away Boss".

Ridley had been bored out of his mind, this better be worth the trip. Soon enough, they arrived at the location of the Phazon. And sure enough, it was indeed different. Large black tentacles were sticking out of the ground. All of them pulsing with Phazon. Ridley had a feeling they are not dealing with a source of Phazon, but a Phazon infected creature. It makes this trip dangerous... and more fun.

Ridley and a large squad of his pirates began searching the area. The tentacles weren't attacking them, so they could move deeper... and soon they saw him. Venom! But he had changed even more. He was bigger, tentacles sticking out of his back, along with his spine which was now black and spiky, and every vein in his body was pulsing with Phazon.

"Well... looks like we have some visitors. At last" Venom said, his voice sounding even more twisted than before.

"So you can talk. I take it you are the source of the Phazon in this area?" Ridley asked.

"There was Phazon here... but We absorbed it all... so much Phazon... so much power... now ours..." Venom spoke like he was having trouble breathing.

"Quite the glutton aren't you? We came here for the Phazon. But if you absorbed it all, we just need to dissect you and get it out" Ridley said darkly.

Venom chuckled as a twisted smirk spread on his face "You can try, but We are many, and you are few".

"All that Phazon must've removed all screws you have since you've clearly forgotten how to count. I have a small army here, and you are alone" Ridley said as his Pirates aims their weapons at Venom.

The Symbiote beast only laughed before his chest grew larger for a moment and then he began to vomit black sludge which began covering the ground. Ridley growls as he flies up to avoid it. But his crew weren't so lucky as the slime began to cover them. All of them where screaming until the slime covered their head... soon all the pirates looked like smaller versions of Venom, long tongue and everything. And all turned towards their former boss and began firing at him.

Ridley avoided the shots before unleashing a wave of fire. The pirates hit by it had not developed Venom's new resistance to fire from his mouth, so they were burned to a crisp. But not all of them, so Ridley had to retreat. One of the large tentacles tried to grab him, but a focused beam from Ridley blew it apart, allowing him to keep flying... only to see his ship had already been torn apart, and what remained of his crew had been infected. Luckily Ridley could fly just fine on his own, so he managed to get away.

This was more than he bargained for. As much as he hated to admit it, if he stayed he would just be infected as well, so he needed to find a place where he could collect his thoughts. Suddenly a bullet hit him in the face, making him look down to see a familiar red suited man. Deapool.

"Hey down here!" Wade shouts while waving his hands like an idiot "Oh shut up Author!".

Ridley landed in front of him and glared "What the hell do you want?".

"A ride. I've been trapped playing Minecraft for 28 chapters! I am not spending another chapter here!" Deadpool said.

"And why should I care? I think a better idea would be to kill you and consume you. Or just leave you to be ripped apart by those creatures" Ridley said, ignoring Deadpool breaking the 4th wall. Mainly because Ridley can't do it himself "In fact, I think I will as pay back for shooting me in the face!".

Ridley impaled Deadpool with his claws and raised him up to eat him "OW! Eat pineapples instead!".

Deadpool dropped a grenade in Ridley's mouth, which exploded, making the pirate leader drop the loud mouth, and noticed Deadpool starting to heal "How are you alive?!".

"You're one to talk. You somehow keep coming back in nearly every Metroid game despite dying in each of them... granted in some games you are either a clone or a robot, but still" Deadpool said.

Ridley blinked "What?".

"Nothing, now what are those creatures you mentioned?" Deadpool asked as he looked in the distance "Oh, Symbiotes! Trust me man, you do not want me in Symbiote pants. Didn't work out to well last time".

"Symbiotes? You know what those things are?" Ridley asked.

"Of course, and I will tell you if you get me out of here" Deadpool said.

"Fine, but you better not try anything funny" Ridley warned.

"I always do funny things. But don't worry, you are like, the most savage Nintendo villain ever. Most others just kidnaps princesses or just the classic, I want to rule the world, stick. But you treat mass murder as a fun time killer. Now that's dark I tell you. And people say Nintendo games are only for kids" Deadpool said.

Ridley had a feeling half his brain cells just died before grabbing him "Just so you know, I am already regretting this a lot".

Ridley began to fly as tentacles almost grabbed them, making Deadpool shoot them "Hell no! I've seen enough anime to know where this is going! Yes I know that's not how the saying goes, but I don't know if I should say the correct word in a T rated story... but maybe if the author turns it up to M-".

"Shut up before I drop you!" Ridley warned as he used his fire to keep the symbiotes away.

Deadpool managed to close his mouth long enough for them to get away. But the Symbiote infestation had not been stopped.


Elsewhere, Lucina, Naoto, Peter and Miles Morales where fighting some robots. Originally from another Universe, Miles Morales is from Brooklyn who takes on the Spider-Man identity after the death of the Peter Parker of his world. Miles discovers spider powers of his own after he was bitten by a spider 11 months before Peter's death, and uses these powers to be the best superhero he can be. Currently, Miles lives in the same Universe as the Peter who is with him now, and is a member of the Champions. He is still a rookie in the crime fighting life, but he's earning his place among the heroes.

Miles used his venom blast ability to take down a robot, Lucina sliced another in half, Naoto shot one in the head, and Peter finished of the last one by lading on it, hard enough to crush it. Everyone looked around and noticed all the robots were destroyed. Meaning the area was cleared and the machines wouldn't be making a foot hold in this area. All in all a job well done by the heroes today, and they kept ganing ground on their enemies.

"Oh yeah! Another win for the good guys!" Miles said as he offered a high five to Lucina. The princess had only recently learned what that is, so she smiled and accepted it.

Peter looked at Naoto "Alright Naoto, put em up".

Naoto looked at his hand before leaving him hanging as she contacted the main base "Our mission was a success, Dark Ultron's advance has been repealed".

"Nice job kids, you can head back now" Iron Man answered on the other side of the line.

Naoto ended the communication and looked at the rest "Alright, he said we can head back now".

Suddenly Miles felt something "Wow... hey Pete, did you feel that?".

"I did..." Peter said as he looked in to the distance "Something is coming".

"What is it?" Lucina asked.

Peter saw something coming towards him and his eyes became wide "Symbiotes!".

"What!?" Miles asked in shock before several symbiote creatures came running at them.

Naoto quickly took out her gun and began firing at the attacking monsters "These things almost reminds me of Shadows!".

"Keep your distance! Symbiotes bonds with a host and takes them over!" Peter instructed as he used his webbing to slow the symbiote monster's advance.

Miles dodged a punch before using his venom blast which managed to partly remove the symbiote from it's host, but it quickly recovered the exposed areas and attacked again, only for Miles to kick it away and jumping back, while firing webbing in to the faces of several more.

"Trust us on this, you do not want those things anywhere near you" Miles said.

"Do they have a weakness?" Lucina asked as she avoided an attack and sliced the symbiote in half... but it began to pull itself back together.

"Super loud sounds and fire... and right now, we don't have either of those things" Peter answered before kicking a symbiote back "We need to retreat and then tell the others about the symbiote outbreak".

"Alright, let's get out of here!" Naoto said before using her Persona to clear a path for them to leave.

They hurried to run from the symbiote horde, with the two Spider-Men using their webs to slow them down as much as possible. Naoto's gun and Persona also helped keeping them at bay, but they were so many. Peter had no idea how so many could already be infested by symbiotes, but he didn't have the time to think of it now. They were gaining some distance from the horde but where stopped when a symbiote infected Berserker Knight landed in front of them.

A Berserker Knight is a Space Pirate heavily mutated by Phazon. A Berserker Knight's Phazite armor must be removed before unit can be damaged: only the Phazon-based projectile attacks the creature fires can destroy it. The Berserker Knight serves as a shocking example of the lengths the Space Pirates will go to in their quest for dominance. Heavily mutated by Phazon exposure, the unit is nearly mindless, driven by battle lust. And this one was controlled by a Symbiote, no telling how dangerous it's become.

"Oh boy, that's a big one!" Miles said.

"Don't let it slow us down! We need to keep moving before the rest catches up!" Naoto calls out as she runs with her Persona, Yamato Sumeragi, dashing towards the Berserker.

The symbiote infected monster swings at the Persona, but it sliced at the legs, causing the large beast to fall down and allowing the heroes to run past it. But as they ran, Lucina ended up tripping, allowing several symbiotes to pile over the screaming princess. Her screams caused the rest to stop and look.

"Lucina!" Peter shouts.

Lucina soon emerged from the pile... but she had been covered by a symbiote. The symbiote infected Lucina looks up and roars as her former allies. Making it clear she was no longer acting on her own will.

"No!" Peter said as he wanted to help her.

Naoto stopped him "Peter stop! We all want to save her, but if we run in now we will be overwhelmed and infected! We need help! And no one is better equipped to find a way to deal with that many of them than you! We can't lose you to them!".

Peter clenched his fists, every fibber of his being told him to get in there and save Lucina, no way he wanted to just leave her behind... but he knew if he didn't, he would just be adding more fuel to the fire... he knew there was no way to save Lucina with so many Symbiotes around. So with a heavy heart he forced himself to keep moving along with the others.

They managed to escape by the skin of their teeth. But now they had more things to worry about... little did they know, Maestro had learned of this new development as well. And it had peaked his interest.
