Chapter 1: We are Toxin
-Deep Space-
A large asteroid floated aim in space within the Milky Way galaxy, passing several planets until it reached the planet third furthest from the sun, Earth. The giant blue and green sphere's gravitational pull tugged the massive hunk of rock and trace elements towards it and caused it to fall down towards the planet's surface, burning and shrinking on reentry before it crashed into the country of Japan. More specifically near a place called Honnouji Academy.
As the crater the giant rock had formed started to cool, a strange red and blue substance oozed out of the cracks in it. After it was fully out of its old vessel, the goopy organism started to crawl away, looking for something.
-Honnouji Academy front gate-
The sun was just coming up over Honnouji Academy, and its students were readying themselves for a stressful day. One new student had already arrived and caused one hell of a ruckus, so a good number were expecting a repeat. What they didn't know was that they were about to receive another one to spice things up a good bit.
Said student was a boy of mixed heritage, namely Mexican and Irish, who had mocha colored skin, brown eyes which were angular in shape, and red hair that he had styled much like his favorite actor: Patrick Swayse. He was around 5'11" and had the build of a kid who obviously loved playing soccer. This was Terry Guinness, and he had just transferred to Honnouji Academy because he was in the foreign exchange program.
"So this is Honnouji Academy, eh? Looks too much like a city to be one." He mused to himself, his accent giving away his Irish heritage.
As he entered, he was unaware of the red and blue creature that latched onto his leg after it leapt out of a storm drain. The creature went up his leg and hid inside his clothes as he walked down the way towards his classroom. But as he did, he saw that a massive gathering of students were watching a small girl being dangled over a vat of boiling oil crucifixion style.
"What the hell is this shite about?!" He wondered in a baffled tone. Running up and through the crowd he decided to get to the meat of the matter. "Oi! Whaddya wankers think ya doin to that girl!?" He yelled up to a short guy in some sort of boxer uniform, though mentally he was also swearing in incoherent Spanish.
"This is an execution, so step back unless you wanna be in the same boat she is." The boxer guy said snidely.
"Is that it? Well if this is how ya filthy buggers are handling your schools, then this country has really gone down hill." The boy said as he lept on the stage, his green pants and white Green Day T-shirt flopping in the air as he did, and his white sneakers squeaking on the metal stage. "Don't cha know that it's rude to treat a lady like that? Ay caramba! What is wrong with other countries these days?!"
"Are you from Ireland? Not discriminating, but you sound like you are, so I'm curious." The tied up girl asked from her position.
"Aye. I'm an Irish-Mexican." He confirmed. "I'm from the great US of A, chica and proud of it!" As Terry said this, both the boxer clad boy and a taller teen holding a kendo bamboo sword just sweat dropped at the exchange.
"Should we do something about this?" The boxer asked the kendo teen.
"I honestly don't know, Americans are a mixed bag: some are jerks, some are good, others are just odd." The older teen shrugged, though any further discussion was interrupted when the click clack of high heels was heard and a blinding light appeared from above.
"Eh? What's that supposed to be about?" Terry asked as he shielded his eyes from the light.
"Lady Satsuki." The two teens said before kneeling.
"Who?" The half Irish boy asked, his Japanese was still a little rusty so he had a difficult time with the context of their various honorifics.
"So you are the foreign exchange student I was told to expect. My apologies for what you had to see, but it would seem that a few of the club members forgot that you would be arriving today." Satsuki greeted before apologizing.
"I appreciate the apology but I still don't get it, Senora. Doesn't boiling someone alive violate every human rights law in the book?" He asked, the more Mexican side of his mixed accent showing slightly.
"Here at Honnouji Academy, I am the supreme leader, Whatever I say goes. There are no exceptions, and insubordination is not tolerated." The woman stated firmly.
"She's annoying… Lets kill her." A voice said in the back of Terry's mind, making him blink.
'What the-? Probably just me imagining things.' He thought dismissively while shaking his head. Before he could retort the woman in front of him, however, a motorcycle suddenly came crashing onto the stage. But due to something pulling him away, Terry was able to dodge.
"Alright, two things: 1. How did I dodge that? I didn't see how it happened. 2. Who's the daft moron that nearly crashed into me with a motorcycle?!" He asked his first question in wonder before his tone became angered for his second one.
The person who was on the motorcycle was now getting the other girl down from where she was hanging. The figure was also wearing a brown cloak.
"You okay, Mako?" The figure asked the girl.
"I'm fine! Thanks for saving me, Ryuko!" Mako smiled cheerily.
The girl, now named Ryuko, slowly turned towards the boxer kid and drew out some sort of giant scissor shaped sword.
"You wanted me, asshole?! Here I am!" She shouted as she took a stance.
"Dios Mio." Terry said as he watched the two begin to clash after a boxing ring appeared around them. "What is up with this school? Es que Loco!" He said in surprise.
"Violence… We feed on violence, let's join." This voice from before urged.
'I'm definitely not hearing things now. Alright, I'll bite. Who are you?' Terry conceded before addressing his apparent tennant in his head.
"Toxin…" Was its only reply before a red and blue substance started to cover him and started to change his body. The substance morphed him until it covered him in a skin tight suit that had red on the top half of his torso up to his head and neck, as well as his shoulders and top parts of his arms. Then his abdomen, forearms, lower body and legs were all covered in blue, lastly his entire head was covered in a red cowl mask that covered his entire face and had sharp, slightly swirled white eyes. And his hands also had claws.
He looked down at his body before he clenched his fists.
"Alright… Let's get in on the violence, shall we?" He muttered, his voice sounding slightly deeper and gravely. He then charged after the fight and got in between the two fighters, catching a sword swing from Ryuko with one hand and a skew punch from the boxing guy with the other.
"What the-who're you?" The hooded girl asked.
"We… Are… Toxin!" Terry and his new symbiotic partner yelled as they pushed the two back a considerable distance.
"Hey, this is between me and her! Butt out, loser!" The boxer yelled stupidly.
Toxin turned to the boy with a 'don't fuck with me' look before he stepped up to the boy, who he was considerably taller than, and decked him with a massive right hook. The boy flew right to the cloaked girl's feet, and said girl was a bit surprised.
The boy got up and turned back to the girl, both fighters now in front of him. With a spin of his arm he delivered another screwball punch, this time hitting its intended target. But instead of injuring Ryuko, it instead tore her cloak to pieces, revealing what was underneath. Needless to say, Terry was liking what he was seeing.
'It might be America rubbing off on me a bit, but damn she looks hot in that!' He thought in approval as he looked over what Ryuuko was wearing.
The outfit in question seemed to be a battle suit of sorts with the basic appearance of a sailor uniform, but it had an eye on the plate covering her right breast, and was in the shape of a V shaped string bikini with a G-string just barely covering her womanhood, a pair of thigh high heels and sleeved gloves with red palms and lastly what little covering her C-cup bosom had seemed to show off a lot of under boob.
"You are definitely not wrong." The symbiote agreed.
"W-What the hell are you wearing?!" The boxer asked, clearly flustered.
"None of your business!" Ryuko snapped, blushing as red as a tomato as she blocked his attack with her sword. Though unbeknownst to her, Toxin and Terry were trying their hardest not to drool.
As the two were arguing, the symbiote and host pair crept around the boy as he had unleashed an absurdly large and dangerous looking glove before punching Ryuko, but due to her outfit being apparently indestructible, the glove shattered instead.
Toxin then made his arms stretch around the boy before he began spinning him like a top and causing him to get dizzy.
"Now's your chance!" The pair yelled at the black and red haired girl. Shaking her head clear, she surged forward and dealt a finishing blow to the boxer, effectively trashing his outfit completely
Small red fibers started to flow towards her, but Toxin suddenly started absorbing them as well, each of them making him stronger. Ryuko then kicked the boxer towards Satsuki, but several people blocked it. However, it didn't stop some blood from getting on her cheek.
The sight of the blood made the symbiote get jittery, as if it was craving said fluid, but Terry was able to restrain the creature as everyone looked up at Satsuki in shock as she wiped the blood off her cheek.
The students that blocked the boxer were about to give Ryuuko a piece of their minds when Satsuki stopped them.
"No. Don't bother. She intrigues me, along with the foreign exchange student." She told them as she looked at the addressed two.
Terry looked up at her as he made Toxin uncover his face. "The bloody hell are you talking about?" He asked before allowing the mask cover his face again.
"Tell me, how did you acquire that odd uniform?" Satsuki asked.
"No idea. But it's not a uniform. I don't know what it is." He told her. "All I know is, I like the way it makes me feel."
"And how does it make you feel?" The black haired girl asked.
"Strong enough to tear this entire academy asunder." He replied with a slight growl. "Because we are the poison that will tear everything we touch apart. We are the sickness that will breed anarchy. We are TOXIN!" He yelled before they both lunged at the pedestal above them where Satsuki was, claws extended with the intent to kill.
Satsuki drew the sword at her side and blocked the incoming hit as the creature before her started to push her back and slowly force her sword down, making her struggle to hold it up.
'What is this? How can he be this strong?!' She thought as she tried to push the blade back up, but was slowly overpowered. Though before Toxin could strike her, several one star students tried to attack him, but as they did, everyone was horrified by what he did to them.
A giant tentacle came out of his back and absorbed the students, uniforms and all into the symbiote, causing it to become even stronger before the appendage disappeared.
"What the fuck did I just witness?!" Ryuko shouted in shock. Then she fell to one knee. "Whaddya mean I lost too much blood?!" She asked her uniform. "Screw it, I'm outta here." And with that, she disappeared.
With Terry and Toxin, he had just eaten around twenty one star students, and now his costume seemed to have a large star on it similar to their uniforms. Right now though, he was in the middle of a pushing match with Ira Gamagori, head of the Disciplinary Committee.
"You will stand down this instant! That is an order!" Ira growled at the duo, who didn't even flinch under his gaze.
"We do not take orders from you, human!" Toxin growled. "We are here to establish a new world order. One in which the Symbiotes, not the life fibers, not the humans, not the beastials, not even the higher evolutionary, RULE!" He yelled before twisting his hips and slamming the man into the ground by using his own mass against him.
Satsuki looked at the duo sharing a body warily. If there was one thing she was sure of, she didn't stand a sliver of a chance against them as she was now. She needed to step up her game, and quickly. Though at the moment, she did not possess the means of evening the odds, so it was in her best interest to retreat for now.
"Everyone, tactical retreat!" The woman told her elite four as they all went into the sealed doors of the academy, leaving the symbiote and human pair to the banquet of power granting life fibers in front of them.
Turning to said buffet, Toxin smiled as Terry tried to keep his bloodlust in check. 'Let's not eat the students, okay amigo? I know you were hungry at the time, but that isn't good, so stick to just eating the uniforms, okay?' Terry told his partner.
"Sorry. Eating the students was me being spurred by my hunger, and yeah, I'll stick to eating the uniforms only from here on out." Toxin replied.
'That's a good boy.' The boy told him as they descended down upon the school to become stronger.
The age of the symbiote had begun.
Dragon Emperor0: So guys, here's my newest story in awhile. I decided to use Toxin because Carnage and Venom were too overdone. Plus if I'm being honest, Toxin is a very underrated symbiote with so much room for creative freedom because of him being a baby symbiote.
ThermalsniperN7: Straight forward hero, anti-hero or villain, it doesn't matter. He's basically a blank slate.
Dragon Emperor0: And also a little question: Who do you think Terry should end up with depending on how things may go? Should it be Ryuko on the heroic side, Satsuki on the neutral anti-hero side, or Ragyo on the villain's side? Let us know in the review section.
