Chapter 4
Bleak Situations
"Oh, crud," Spider-man said, before two of the creatures rammed into him and knocked him to the ground.
They leaned down after him; mouths open to take a bite out of his flesh. Spider-man reached up and wrapped a hand around each of their individual throats. Spider-man found himself struggling against their strength as they tried to wriggle free.
Spider-man saw two more of the creatures approaching him. He kicked both and they stumbled back. Screeching, one of the aliens leapt at him.
Spider-man cried out as the alien's claws fell toward him. The waldoes extended from his back to catch the alien and push it away, but they instead missed and impaled the alien's chest.
The alien's limp body hung suspended above Spider-man. It's yellowish blood dripped down the mechanical limbs and ate through it at the same time.
It bleeds acid? Spider-man thought.
The waldoes began to crumple under the alien's weight, so Spider-man rolled, along with the two aliens he was currently holding by the throat, to his feet. He pulled the acid ruined waldoes out of the alien's body and released the two creatures he held by the neck.
His spider-sense blared and one of the aliens jumped into his back, driving its claws in. Peter rolled forward, away from the alien's claws. The alien jumped after him and landed on him knocking him back to the ground.
The other black monsters moved in toward the pinned Spider-man. Spider-man threw off his assailant as two more jumped toward him. He dodged them by jumping to the side.
Another jumped toward him and lunched its tail toward him. He again dodged it by jumping back.
"All right, that's enough!" Spider-man said as he sprayed webbing at the five aliens. Finally, he had all five trapped in a blanket of silvery webbing. "Let's see you get out of that!"
One of the aliens roared and ripped one of its claws through the web, freeing its arm and allowing it to rip another strand loose. Quickly all five had freed themselves and were hissing threateningly at him.

Gargan rubbed his head as he stood up. He quickly looked around the small room that confined him. It almost made him miss his old cell at Ryker's. The room wasn't much larger then an outhouse and there was no bed, just the four walls and a door.
"You could at least let me have a toilet!" Gargan yelled.
Gargan then checked to see if he was still bonded with the symbiote. The creature merely gave a mental nodded across their link.
Black liquid began to seep out of his skin and cover him. The liquid solidified and he was once again Venom.
"What happened?" He asked his other aloud. "The last thing I remember we were fighting Spider-man."
"And then that thing attacked us," The symbiote said. Gargan looked down and spotted a pale crablike creature.
"Have you ever seen anything like that?" Gargan asked.
"No," the symbiote replied.
Venom approached the door and drew back his fist. He drove his fist forward and cried out as it bounced harmlessly off the metal.
Venom muttered darkly as he stepped back. The symbiote once again concealed itself inside Gargan.
"What are you doing?" Gargan asked. He hadn't told the symbiote to conceal itself.
"Taking a look under the hood," the alien said. "I sense something… out of place inside you."
"What do you mean?" Gargan asked fearfully.
------------------------------------
Tony leaned against the table as he watched Venom through the miniature camera inside his cell.
"Keep me informed," He said to the man at the counsel. The man nodded as Tony turned and left the room.
Tony was most interested in what came out of this.
---------------------------------------------
Spider-man fell back as another set of claws raked across his chest. He punched the alien in the head. Spider-man jumped back to the edge of the building that he had moved the fight to. Despite all his best efforts the aliens were winning.
Peter panted under his mask. If the aliens were tired from the continuous fighting, they weren't showing it.
His spider-sense blared again, but the threat wasn't from any of the aliens in front of him. It was from behind him. He spared a glanced over the edge and saw eight more aliens climbing the building.
Oh, crap.
