Important notes at the end, please read as they regard to the future of this story.

Backstage.

"We can't fight him, Peter." Venom stated. The pair of them were at the doorway leading to the main area of the festival, the same place he was in before he fought Jiro. Currently, Peter and Venom were coming up with a plan to fight Bakugo. Unfortunately, Venom didn't actually want to fight this time.

"So you're fine with eating heads off bad guys, and threatening to eat parts of my body, but fighting this one guy is where we draw the line?"

"You don't understand. He can summon explosions from his hands. I have your memories of the last time you fought him."

"Ok so maybe I sorta lost-"

"He broke your arm."

"There's something you're not telling me Venom." Peter said. Venom came out as a tendril and faced Peter. "What is it?"

"There's...a lot. For the situation at hand, fighting someone with the power to hit us with explosives is not good. We could easily be killed. We WILL be easily killed."

Peter rolled his eyes. "Ok calm down drama queen. We're not gonna die alright? All we gotta do is get him angry enough to the point where he starts making simple mistakes. Push him out the ring and then we win."

Venom squinted at Peter. "Why do you want to win?" Peter was taken aback by the question.

"What do you mean? I didn't want to be part of this thing anyways."

"Exactly. But then that Bakugo kid gets under your skin, breaks your arm, insults and threatens you. Now you want to embarrass him in front of all of Japan. Possibly the world."

"You're reading too much into this Venom."

"Am I Peter? A little word of warning, as much I say we can do whatever we want to, putting a target on your back as vengeful isn't a good idea, especially since we have two villain groups already trying to kill us." Venom retracted into Peter's body, while Peter stopped to think about what Venom said. He didn't have much time to think, as he heard the crowd start cheering again, cueing him his next fight was about to start.

Arena.

Following the announcement to come back out to the outdoor ring, Peter made his way back out. He started to walk when he heard the announcement by Present Mic again. However, it wasn't immediately for the next fight.

"And what's going on in the field?" Peter turned his attention and what he saw lined up with exactly what Present Mic said next.

"The girls of Class 1A are cheerleading?" Peter, Present Mic, and the entirety of the stadium was confused, as there had been no inclination of a mid festival break, or even a cheerleading team. To add to what was being shown to the entirety of Japan, Momo looked visibly distressed while Peter could see Kaminari and Mineta were smiling and throwing thumbs up at each other. Peter shook his head as he saw the visible frustration from all of the girls in the 1A class.

"What is the purpose of them being dressed like that?" Venom asked.

"Simple. There is no reason. Got a feeling that Kaminari and Mineta pulled some stunt on the girls. Actually scratch that, I know the reason."

"That being?"

"They're...being perverted." Peter could tell from Venom's silence that he lost him, but wasn't keen on explaining more to him. He stood reasonably well away from the main stage until his fight started, but before that Momo and Jiro decided to come up to him to talk.

"Peter, do me a favor and punch Kaminari when you get the chance." Jiro said as she walked off past Peter, visibly upset.

"Aye aye captain." Peter replied. Momo sighed as Peter turned his attention over to her.

"I'll go check on her. Just...good luck with Bakugo." Momo then hurriedly left off the stage as did the rest of the girls from class 1A. Peter prepared for his next fight as Present Mic came over the speakers again.

"And now for our next fight, our beloved Spider-Boy-"

"Man! Spider-Man!" Peter corrected, despite knowing Present Mic would not in the slightest fix the naming he gave him, even if there was a chance he could hear him.

"Will go up against one of Class 1A's most destructive, agile, and aggressive students-"

"This is supposed to make him seem favorable as a hero?" Venom questioned.

"Your guess is as good as mine." Peter replied. He eventually saw Bakugo make his way to the ring and had a sense of fear, nervousness, and hate running throughout his body all at once. He couldn't place why, but as of right now it didn't matter to him, as long as he survived the fight against him.

"Katsuki Bakugo!!!" Present Mic announced. Peter and Bakugo stared each other down at the center of the ring, both waiting for the other to make any sudden moves.

"C'mon web-head, too scared to throw the first punch?" Bakugo taunted.

"Not really. Just don't want the force of 5 grenades to shred my suit to pieces. Also peekaboo!" Peter shot a web at Bakugo's face, causing the hot headed teen to become even more, well, hot headed.

"You Jackass!!" Bakugo screamed as he struggled to take the webbing off, causing the whole stadium to stand in awe of his tantrum and struggle.

"You know now that I think about it, it's a major improvement on the after side of things. Before I had to look at your face, and now-" Peter's gloating was cut short by his Spider sense, letting him know to hit the deck. He hit a backwards flip and narrowly avoided an explosion from Bakugo's hand.

"Less gloating, more fighting." Venom said.

"Seriously, now you want to butt in too?" Bakugo snapped the webbing off his face, facing Peter with a sinister look on his face.

"You're hiding something freak, and I'M GOING TO BE THE ONE WHO EXPOSES YOU!" Bakugo shot some explosions behind him, propelling him towards Peter. The latter quickly stepped onto Bakugo's head and jumped off of it, giving him much needed airtime and breathing room.

"Ok well webbing him isn't going to be effective if he can just blast out of it immediately. Any suggestions Venom?"

"You give up."

"Well I was thinking more of-wait, did you just suggest giving up?"

"It would end this a whole lot quicker."

"And let him get a ego the size of the Statue of Liberty? I'll pass on the option." Peter saw Bakugo headed towards him again, but the web-slinger couldn't react in in time before Bakugo had grabbed him by the collar. He turned his body around, to the point where he was above Peter, and was readying his free arm to propel them to the concrete below.

"Only one way out of this bug."

"It's Arachn-" Bakugo didn't wait to hear the snappy comeback, as he was already pushing them down towards the ground at a rate that was liable to seriously injury anyone who made contact with the ground. The two teens hit the pavement, and a explosion of debris and dust erupted on impact, causing the viewers and students alike to be blinded to what was happening.

Among everyone who was still trying to make out if anything was happening at the center of the ring; Toga, Jiro, Momo, Kaminari, and Tony all worried if Peter was ok, assuming he even survived the impact.

In the Dust.

Pain shot up all over Peter's body. It was bad enough for him he had a alien parasite inside him making him feel weak at times, but nothing compared to having the wind knocked out of your lungs at a mach 10 crash landing. He attempted to stand back up, but felt a sharp pain in his lower back, as well as no feeling in his legs.

He knew Venom would be at work to fix the issue, but was terrified at what the evidence was pointing to. He searched near his lower back and pulled a rock from the ground. Bringing it to his face revealed a blood mark, signifying it's what caused his wound. He threw it to the side of him, and realized Bakugo wasn't in his line of sight now.

"Venom, give it to me straight, how bad is it?"

An uncomfortable amount of seconds passed after Peter asked the question.

"Venom?" He asked again.

Nothing. Peter grew more worrisome by the minute. He couldn't feel his legs, more than likely had a wound that he was bleeding out from in his lower back, and was potentially separated from Venom. He crawled slowly towards what he could make out to be the audience seats. He kept on the lookout for both Venom and Bakugo, but couldn't hear or see either one.

Eventually the pain and stress of the injury was too much for Peter, as he passed out. Once the dust dissipated, the entirety of Japan and class 1A and 1B saw the passed out Spider-Man on the floor, as well as a struggling Bakugo a few meters away from Peter. Immediately, Heroes and Medic teams alike rushed onto the stadium floor and attended to the boys. Tony ran towards Peter and was in disbelief at the injury he sustained.

"Oh god...Peter...Medic! Medic! He needs a goddamn MEDIC!!" Tony ended up shouting in anger as well as fear for the kids safety.

Kaminari, Jiro, and Momowere in shock and disbelief at the sight of their friend severely injured.

"H-he's going to be ok...right?" Kaminari asked the two girls. The lack of an immediate answer from either of them, especially the smart Momo, scared him even more.

"I don't know." Jiro finally responded, although she sounded like she was fighting back tears, and she wasn't winning. Momo saw this and comforted her rocker friend, who eventually broke down and started crying her eyes out.

Up in the audience stands, Toga felt nothing in her entire body. It's as if the world and herself had froze. She saw Peter being attended to by the medics, and she was glad he was being taken care of, but something in her felt off. She disappeared from the crowd and headed into the bathroom, where she locked the door. She needed to be by herself, as she could feel a rage building in her.

"Peter will be fine Toga. I mean after all, he's told you about worse things that have happened to him. Green goblin, Lizard." Toga paced back and forth in the bathroom, talking to herself.

"No, he won't." Toga heard her own voice, yet it wasn't her speaking. She looked around until her eyes landed at the bathroom mirror, where her reflection was staring back at her, not moving in sync with her.

"Yes he will. He was Venom, he can-"

"Do what, plead for it to take over his body?" Toga looked down at the sink while her reflection kept going.

"You knew when Tomura gave you the responsibility to get Venom in the first place, that its would do anything to bond with it's host. Whether it's threats of eating its host, or not healing a certain injury-"

"Peter's stronger than the symbiote." Toga blurted. Her reflection laughed, and in it she saw what she was, and what she was truly viewed as by society in all.

A psychopath.

"Oh please, you don't actually believe that, do you?" Toga's reflection disrespectfully stated. "You're an even bigger idiot than I thought. No no, Peter will lose to the symbiote. It's just a matter of when."

"He won't-"

"I know, you've said it 3 times already. But I know something that'll take your mind off it for a while." The reflection smiled sinisterly, and as unsettling it was for the average person, Toga simply didn't understand what she meant.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about your favorite activity silly. Watching the blood spurt out of a fresh stab wound. And I have just the target."

"No...I promised Peter-"

"That'd you stop killing? Sorry me, once a killer, always a killer." Toga stopped and thought about it. Could she really be redeemed? Did she even want to be redeemed? To be a hero? Her whole life, she was an outcast because of her quirk, and her comes Peter, thinking its a simply change to make her a hero. She stared back at her reflection.

A smile slowly started to creep onto Toga's face.

"That's just it. He knew I couldn't change, but had me believe I could. Just so he could get closer to me." Toga rationalized. Her reflection seemed to be in agreement.

"And now you know what you have to do now that he's hurt, right?" Toga turned away from the mirror and smiled.

"I need to kill Katsuki Bakugo."

Alright, end of the chapter. Now Im gonna level with you all, the reason I've been struggling to fix the last few chapters, as well as write more chapters is just simply I'm not devoted to this story as I once was, nor the fandom 90% of this fic is about. Originally I wanted to write this all the way up to the All-for-one and All-Might fight, but I don't see that being the case anymore. That being said, this story will be finishing with the Stain fight.

That being, I will finish this story, as I have plans for a future story with this version of Spider-Man, but with a different fandom. Don't know exactly when, but I will finish it. That being said, I give full permission to anyone who wants to continue the story of this Peter in this fandom when that final chapter gets uploaded, just as long as you give me credit (if you continue based on my story) and you are genuinely passionate in making a story. That being said, hope you all enjoyed, and until next time.
