Chapter 5
The Symbiote and the Parasite
Spider-man stared at the climbing aliens for a moment before he finally snapped back to reality. He was now facing thirteen aliens. He could barely handle five and now there were eight?
But he couldn't run away, or these things could hurt or kill who knows how many people.
Sighing, Peter leapt off the building and spread his arms, the miniature web membrane also spreading and catching the air. He glided away from the screaming aliens.
---------------------------------
With nothing to count the hours by, Gargan was getting pretty nervous. He hadn't heard from the symbiote for a while. He wondered if the alien had somehow killed the symbiote.
Finally, he felt the creature again and it seemed to be bursting with joy.
"Find anything?" Gargan asked out loud.
"Oh, yes," the ecstatic alien replied. "It appears that this… face hugger if you will, has implanted something in your chest."
Gargan didn't find this reason to celebrate. "What are you so happy for?"
"Well, the creature has apparently absorbed some of your DNA and through it mine," the symbiote said. "In a few minutes, it's going to burst out of your chest."
"What?" Gargan said filled with dread. "Can't you do something?"
The symbiote gave a mental nod. "Yes, but then I don't get to use it as a host."
"Why would you want it as a host?" Gargan asked in panic. "Quit messing around and kill it!"
"Weren't you listening?" The symbiote asked. "It's stronger then a human and your mutated DNA has only improved it and mine will make it so much easier to bond with. It's the perfect host."
"You traitor!" Gargan shouted, slamming a fist into the prison wall.
"Good-bye, Gargan," The symbiote said and broke off contact.
"You- You-," Gargan suddenly found himself in intense pain. It felt like a something was gnawing at him from the inside. He collapsed to the floor and cried out in pain.
A gaping hole appeared in his chest as something exploded out. Covering the thing was a black liquid. The black liquid welled up and grew a gaping mouth and white eyes. Venom smirked. His host would soon be fully grown and then he would escape this cell and then not even Spider-man would be able to stop him.
--------------------------------
Peter swung in through his open bedroom window. A quick glance around, even in complete darkness, revealed that Mary Jane wasn't there. He moved out into the hall.
He noticed that the light was on in the rec room. Moving into that room still in costume, he found the whole team including MJ and Aunt May assembled and looking at the TV.
The glasses wearing newswoman reported. "There is as of yet no explanation as to the origins of the black aliens, that have been spotted all over the city." A photo in the upper right-hand corner showed one of the aliens. "Police have been helpless in stopping the creatures which are kidnapping citizens by the dozen. Everyone is recommended to stay inside where it's safe."
--------------------------------
Venom stood in the cell fully grown. He listened to the Queen through their mental connection.
(Why should I let you near the hive?) She asked her voice sounded like a low hiss.
(I am powerful and intelligent,) Venom replied. (And I'll be useful because not all the humans are so weak. Certain individuals might be able to destroy you and your kind.)
(Yet you could disobey me,) The Queen countered.
(What harm could I do by betraying you? I am powerful, but not enough so to defeat a Queen.) Venom said. (Besides I have the same instinctual loyalty that all of your kind have to their Queen.)
Silence insured as the Queen pondered her options. (I suppose I shall have to free you.)
Venom smirked something that the normal aliens couldn't do. (No, I can escape myself.) The alien drew back his fist and punched the steel door, which bent back under the force.
