Chapter 1
Symbiosis
(Life Foundation, San Francisco, California)
The last few hours had been a hectic one.
The Life Foundation had suffered a breach, with the subject in question escaping, with one of their recovered Symbiotes. Their security had managed to find that one of their top scientists had been responsible, and was now being questioned by the head of the company.
"I was troubled by what we've been doing." Dr. Dora Skirth said.
"I get it. I get it. We've all been troubled. It's the nature of what we do. But I need you to tell me who was here with you. I need that from you." Carlton Drake, the CEO of the Life Foundation, said.
"I can't do that." she whimpered, scared of what he might do.
Drake was frustrated by this, but kept his calm and then tried a new tactic.
"We can't fix things unless we begin with... your friend. The person who was here. Because they're gonna die. They're in grave danger. You know that, right? They're gonna die unless we bring them back here, where you can help to keep them alive."
Dora wanted to believe that. But a part of her wasn't so sure.
"Hey, Dora. I promise, from here on in, we will do things differently. (Whispers) Will you trust me?" He asked her.
Dora's resolve finally broke. Uneasily at that.
"Eddie Brock." she said.
"Eddie Brock?" he asked, remembering that name from a while back.
"Yes." she said.
Drake nodded as he stepped back and walked away.
"You were our best." he said to her, almost like he was saying goodbye to her, before he looked towards one of the other technicians that was in an adjacent room. "Open it."
Inside the room, Dora hadn't noticed that the large, cylindrical container, containing one of their last symbiotes, was just sitting there.
Sloshing and Snarling sounds were emanating from the container as it opened.
"No! No! No! NO! NO!" she cried out as the Symbiote slithered down the container case and onto the floor before crawling over towards her.
She had seen what these things had done to the other homeless people at the Life Foundation, and feared for the possibility of her own life being taken in the same way.
Suddenly... BOOM!
Dora gasped as a strange black hole appeared right behind her. She gasped in amazement as her brain tried to comprehend what was happening.
The metallic-blue symbiote paid it no mind as it crawled straight towards Dora.
Dora watched as a human body was suddenly ejected from the portal, flying towards her as the symbiote jumped off the floor and enveloped both of them.
Doras screams were muffled by the symbiote as it completely absorbed both of the humans.
The portal closed as the metallic-blue mass started to wobble, squirm and slosh around like it was a wave on the ocean.
Several minutes passed, the symbiote continuing it's erotic dance... before it spit out Dora onto the floor.
The female scientist was unconscious but still alive, as the symbiote suddenly morphed into a young fourteen-year old Japanese boy, wearing a strange blue and white skintight bodysuit.
The boy looked around and then walked out of the room, breaking down a door and heading to one of the lower levels where the other containment rooms were located.
"Hey! Hey!" the technicians cried out as they tried to restrain the boy.
The boy in question lashed out his arms and smashed the technicians back against the walls of the lab.
He didn't encounter anything or anyone else as he stopped right in front of a glass room, where a yellowish mass was lying, unmoving, on the ground.
"Phage." the boy said as it broke through the glass with little trouble, and scooped up the yellowish mass.
It absorbed the mass into his body and immediately looked pained.
"Hungry. Hungry. We need food." he croaked out.
With that he quickly raced out of the lab.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What do you mean it's gone?" Carlton Drake asked.
"I mean it's gone!" Dr. Emerson said as he rubbed his head.
"What about Dora?" Drake asked.
"She's alive, but unconscious. She has a heartbeat, but... there's little to no brain activity."
Drake was stunned. The Symbiote should have killed her, like he hoped.
"The symbiote rejected her or something?" he asked.
"I... guess."
"You Guess? You Guess?!" Drake snapped.
The doctor cringed a little at his shouting.
"Tell me everything that happened."
"The Symbiote was about to absorb Dr. Skirth, when... someone else appeared. Just out of nowhere. It... bonded to both of them, but then spit Dr. Skirth out and... broke out of containment. We tried to restrain it,.. It knocked us around like a couple of ragdolls."
Drake looked stunned. But very interested.
"Alright. Keep her restrained and monitor her closely. If, when, she wakes up, I want a full interrogation." Drake said.
"Uh, yes, sir." Emerson said.
"Sir, we have a situation." a security guard said as he rushed up to Carlton Drake.
"Talk to me." Drake said.
"The medical labs have been ransacked. And the commissary is... well it looks like someone hit this place. Hard." he said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Medical Lab)
When Drake arrived the place was in shambles. Dozens and dozens of bottles of what appeared to be vitamins and dietary supplements lay scattered all over the place. There were a couple of doctors rummaging around and looked like they were doing an inventory.
"What happened here?" Drake asked.
"It looks like someone downed enough pills and vitamins to kill a herd of cows. The doctors said that at least 39 bottles were emptied." the guard said.
To Drake it looked like someone or something had ripped the bottles open and just scooped up the pills inside. There wasn't even one left on the floor. Anywhere.
"And no one saw anything?" Drake asked.
"The security cameras were disabled." the guard said.
Drake looked at the cameras. They were completely destroyed.
"Disabled is an understatement." he said.
Still, this was becoming more interesting by the second.
"I'm going to the commissary." he said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Life Foundation Commissary)
"What happened in here?" Drake asked as he stared at the ransacked kitchen. Food was everywhere and some of the heavy fridge doors looked like they had been torn off their hinges. 'Was this the symbiote?'
"Someone or something ate... a lot of food." one of the guards said.
"How much?" he asked.
"Unknown. We're taking an inventory now, but... it looks to be at least a hundred pounds of food."
Drake looked around the kitchen.
While the commissary had packed various kinds of foods and snacks, everything from Twinkies to Pop Tarts to candy bars in the vending machines, even the food in the back kitchen had been taken. Various meat products, most of the vegetables used for their salads, even the condiments had been raided.
'First the lab were the vitamins and dietary supplements are kept. Now the food in the commissary.' Drake thought to himself. "Someone was hungry."
"Extremely. Security cameras are also down. Except this one." the guard said as he pulled his iPad out and ran the security footage.
Drake looked at the footage, it was from one of the motion-activated cameras that was installed next to the refrigerators. It was originally installed to catch anyone trying to steal food from them. The video playback showed a teenage Japanese boy ransacking the kitchen.
"What am I looking at?" Drake asked.
"I'd say it's a teenage boy... but I don't recognize him." the man said.
Drake continued to watch as the teenager devoured everything in sight. He was tearing open doors and smashing through the vending machines to get at the food inside. Like they were made of paper. Meat, vegetables, sugar. Nothing seemed off limits to this kid. And he was eating far more than he should be able to.
"He's got the symbiote." Drake realized. "Where is he?"
"We don't know. We've searched everywhere and... nothing." the first guard said.
"He's not here, sir. We swept the entire building, top to bottom, even the vents and sewer systems." a second guard said.
"So... he's out. Out there. In San Francisco. We need to find him. Use this image, facial recognition software, whatever it takes. Just find him." he ordered the guard.
"Sir... there's something else." a third guard said as he ran up to Drake.
"Oh, this gets better?" Drake grumbled.
"The other Symbiote is... missing." he said, getting Drake to give him his full attention.
"The other Symbiote?" he asked.
"The yellow one." the guard said.
"What? That thing was dead! How...?" Drake asked.
"Dr. Emerson just realized it was missing when he tried to find it to analyze it, but..."
"It's gone?" he asked.
"Yes." the guard said.
Carlton Drake's head was spinning wildly at what had just happened. In a very short time, something completely unexpected and unforseen had happened. Two of his Symbiotes had disappeared, one of them dead and the other seemingly having bonded to some kid he'd never seen before. And what was that outfit he was wearing? If he was a spy or thief, what he was wearing wasn't very tactical.
No, this boy was some kind of anomaly, and he would figure it out, one way or another.
But first, he had to find him.
"Sir! Treece is online!" one of his assistants said as he ran up to him.
Drake went up to the mission control room, where most of their large monitors were.
The video images from Treece showed that Eddie Brock was demonstrating incredible superhuman abilities, beating up several of Treece's men, and leading them on a wild chase across the city. It proved, however, that symbiosis between a human and one of the Symbiotes was possible. And now this boy... had accomplished the same thing. Though it was still unknown just how the pieces fit together.
So many questions bubbled in his brain. Where had this boy come from? How did he get into the lab? Everything was shut down, closed off, and contained. Yet, somehow, he had entered the lab, at perhaps the same time as the third Symbiote had been unleashed upon Dr. Skirth. She was still alive, and the boy was missing. As was the second Symbiote, which was dead, according to his scientists.
None of this was making any sense, and it infuriated him to the utmost.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
From high atop the Golden Gate Bridge, a large bluish humanoid figure looked out at the city. It had a tall and lean but athletic build, large white eyes and a gaping maw of teeth.
'IT IS RATHER PEACEFUL TO LOOK AT.' the deep voice of the creature spoke.
'This is San Francisco. It was wiped out in 2000.' a smaller, timid voice spoke.
'IN YOUR WORLD, SHINJI IKARI'. The deep voice said.
'My world. Another dimension. I don't... how do I know this?' the smaller voice asked.
"WHEN I ABSORBED BOTH YOU AND DR. SKIRTH, I ABSORBED YOUR MEMORIES, FEELINGS, EMOTIONS. AND HER'S TOO. YOU REALLY ARE A SAD SACK, AREN'T YOU, SHINJI? AND I SUSPECT...THAT WAS INTENTIONAL.'
'You mean... because of my father.'
'RAT BASTARD HE IS FOR ABANDONING HIS OWN CHILD!' th creature said angrily. 'AND DON'T EVEN TRY TO DEFEND HIM! HE DOESN'T DESERVE YOUR PITY OR FORGIVENESS.'
'He's still my father.'
'THE KLYNTAR UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PROGENITOR AND PROGENY, BUT EVEN WE SHOW MORE RESPECT FOR OUR OFFSPRING.'
'That speaks more of you than us.'
'FEAR NOT, SHINJI IKARI. FOR WE WILL NOT ABANDON YOU!'
'Because if you did... you would die. But... you would be able to find a new host. A better and stronger one.'
'YOU HAVE STRENGTH YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND. POTENTIAL YOU DO NOT YET REALIZE. YOU... SHINJI IKARI... ARE OUR HOST. NOW AND FOREVER.'
'Okay. But... what do we do now?'
'WE MUST FIND THE ONE CALLED VENOM. PERHAPS... HE CAN HELP US.'
'Okay. Where do we start?"
'EDDIE BROCK.'
'Who is that?'
'THE REPORTER THAT DR. SKIRTH LET INTO THE LIFE FOUNDATION.'
'Dr. Skirth. The woman we left back in the room.'
'WE LEFT HER ALIVE. DO NOT BE CONCERNED.'
'Uh...'
'YES?
'What do I call you? Do you have a name?'
'A FAIR QUESTION. I AM TOXIN.'
'Really? Okay. So... what now, Toxin?"
"WE HAVE MUCH IMPORTANT BUSINESS AT HAND.'
'Finding Eddie Brock?'
'NO. WE NEED FOOD.'
'WHAT? But we just ate enough food to feed a school. Not to mention all those bottles of vitamins and pills.'
'SYMBIOTES NEED SUSTENANCE! AND I AM EATING FOR TWO OF US.'
'Uh... okay. I can find a few places.'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
'Three grocery stores, two restaurants, and a hot dog cart.' Shinji grumbled, having only had enough time to snag a handful of snacks, not to mention infiltrating a couple of kitchens, and quickly depart before anyone realized they had been purloined. All in all, it must have been about 40 pounds of food.
'YES. A GOOD SNACK.' Toxin muttered.
'Snack? Snack?' Shinji gasped.
'IT'LL TIDE US OVER FOR THE TIME BEING. NOW... TO FIND EDDIE BROCK.'
'On it.'
Toxin paused on a building ledge and stared out over the city.
'WHAT YOU ARE DOING?' Toxin asked.
'Listening for trouble.' Shinji said.
'IS THAT GOING TO WORK?'
(Gunfire)
'Got him.' Shinji said.
'HOW CAN YOU BE SURE?'
'Call it a hunch.'
The pair arrive at the Transamerica Pyramid where a violent firefight was going on.
The pair looked in through one of the windows and saw a large black humanoid figure, dancing and leaping around, while below in a smoke-filled lobby more than a dozen heavily armed police officers were shooting at the figure, and losing.
'Is that Venom?' Shinji asked.
'IT IS. GOOD HUNCH.' Toxin complimented.
The pair watched as Venom knocked down, punched out and tossed about a total of fifteen police officers around the lobby of MNBN. But as he was about to eat one of them, he paused. To both Shinji and his new friend he seemed to be having a conversation with himself. Something that Shinji could understand.
However, Shinji did wonder why he was so comfortable with all this.
It was then that a woman with blond hair wearing a mostly black outfit arrived. She screamed and the pair saw Venom transform back into a regular-looking human.
'That must be Eddie Brock.' Shinji said.
'IT IS.' the Symbiote replied. 'I RECALL HIM FROM DR SKIRTHS MEMORIES. WE MUST FOLLOW THEM.'
'Right.'
The pair followed the other pair and the woman, seeing them get into an SUV and take off.
'SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT.' Toxin said.
'What do you mean?'
"HE SHOULD HAVE SENSED US. IF HE DID, HE WAS NOT SHOWING IT.'
'So... we should be cautious?'
'THAT GOES WITHOUT SAYING.'
Shinji followed the SUV to the hospital and quickly found the floor they were on. Crawling up the side of the building and then into the ventilation system, Shinji had to pause when he noticed a vending machine through one of the vent-grates.
'WE ARE HUNGRY!' Toxin said.
'Already? Okay, okay.' Shinji replied.
Using his newfound abilities, Shinji punctured the ceiling as quietly as possibly and dove into the roof of the vending machine, using his tendrils to collect everything he could get. He then moved on, towards the MRI.
When one of the nurses came to get something to snack on, everything inside the vending machine was gone.
"What the hell? I thought they restocked this thing this morning." the nurse grumbled and walked away, not seeing a couple of empty wrappers fall from the ceiling.
'I HAVE TO SAY. THIS CHOCOLATE IS VERY GOOD.' Toxin said.
'Glad you like it. Personally, I find them kind of fattening.'
'DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR GIRLISH FIGURE. THE SUSTENANCE IS FOR ME. AND HER.'
'Her?'
'EXPLAIN LATER.'
'It's a her?'
The pair found their way towards the MRI labs where they sensed Eddie and Venom where, arriving when they heard voices.
"Thanks for coming in. Eddie, I'm sorry." Doctor Dan Lewis said.
"What?" Eddie asked.
"Eddie, I got your labs back, and your heart has atrophied severely."
'DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM. I CAN FIX IT.' Venom snapped.
"I don't want you to fix it." Eddie hissed under his breath.
'I CAN HEAL YOU.'
"C-C-Can you fix it?" Eddie asked Dan.
"No. I've never seen anything like this before. This parasite, whatever it is..." he started to say.
'PARASITE?' Venom snapped.
Eddie quickly waved him off from saying that.
"It's eating you from the inside." Dan said.
"Not a parasite. He's not." Eddie said.
"You're using him up." Annie said.
'NO. SHE IS WRONG.'
"We need to get you to the ICU." Dan said urgently.
"Wait. Shh! Am I, Eddie, Am I Dying?" Eddie asked out loud.
'NO!' Venom shouted in his head.
"You're killing him!" Annie said.
'THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.'
Eddie suddenly paused as Venom started looking around the room, freezing his gaze at the vent.
"What's wrong?" Eddie asked.
'HE IS THERE.' Venom hissed.
"He? Who he? What are you talking about?" Eddie asked, getting Dan and Annie to look at him.
'ONE OF MY... NO, TWO OF MY BRETHREN.'
"WHAT?! HEY! WHO' SUP THERE?!" he shouted.
Dan and Annie looked at the vent in confusion.
'LET'S GO.' Toxin said.
'Alright.' Shinji replied.
CRASH!
Eddie, Dan and Annie just gasped as a tall, lean and powerful-looking humanoid figure broke into the MRI room and stood up.
'TOXIN'. Venom hissed.
"Toxin? That's his name?" Eddie asked.
'Let me handle this.' Shinji said.
'VERY WELL.' Toxin said.
The quartet watched as Toxin suddenly began melting away, and was soon replaced by a fourteen year old Japanese teenager in a blue and white bodysuit.
"Hello. My name is Shinji Ikari." the boy said in English, which surprised him.
"Are you... did he just..." Dan asked, starting to freak out.
"I apologize for my sudden arrival. And for your ceiling." he said.
'HE IS THE ONE WE FELT WHEN WE WERE FIGHTING THOSE POLICE.' Venom said to Eddie.
"Who are you?" Eddie asked.
Shinji just tilted his head to the side in confusion.
"I just told you." Shinji said.
"Sorry, that's kind of a reflex question. You're Shinji? And your Symbiote is named Toxin?" Eddie asked.
"Toxin?" Annie asked.
"I didn't give him that name. It's very complicated to explain. We need to talk." Shinji said.
"Okay. Talk. You first." Eddie said as he grabbed a stool and sat down. "Make it quick because I'm kinda dying."
"You are not dying, Eddie-san. The Symbiote can heal you." he said.
"My heart is partly atrophied. I'm slowly dying." Eddie said.
"Yes. Symbiotes require sustenance, a host body that they ultimately feed off of." Shinji explained.
"Symbiotes?" Dan asked.
"So it is killing him." Annie said.
"It can. But it can also heal as well. You just need to eat a lot of food. Believe me, mine has already eaten over a couple hundred pounds of food just tonight. And it's still hungry." Shinji said.
"Its... hyper-metabolic?" Dan asked.
"Yes. They have to eat a lot of food at the time of the bonding process for it to achieve symbiosis. At least that's what Dr. Skirth thought. It was never tested properly." Shinji said.
"What do you mean, 'properly'?" Dan asked.
Shinji started to explain, before Toxin started nagging at the back of his head. Shinji looked around and saw a medicine cabinet with various pills and vitamins.
"Excuse me." he said before going over to the cabinet. The trio watched him pop open several bottles and start doing them quickly.
"HEY! NO! DON'T DO THAT!" Dan shouted as he rushed to stop the boy.
However, a long blue tendril shot out and wrapped itself around Dan's neck, hoisting him off the ground.
"Relax, Human! This Won't Kill Us." a deep booming voice said to him.
The tendril released him and dropped him to the ground.
"I'm sorry about that." Shinji said before downing another bottle. "But Toxin and his friend need as much nutrients as possible. Otherwise, they start to feed off of me." he said before downing the entire bottle.
"Friend?" Annie asked.
"Am I... the same way?" Eddie asked.
"Yes. Venom should have told you this." Shinji said.
"You Could Have Told Me This?" Eddie snapped.
'YOU NEVER ASKED. BUT YES.' Venom replied.
"That's not funny!" Eddie snapped.
"I won't die from overdose. Toxin won't let me." Shinji said as he downed another bottle of pills. Before anyone had realized it, he had consumed nine large bottles of vitamins. "That was... I need water."
Going over to the sink and drinking directly from the faucet, the trio estimating he looked like he had just drank over a gallon of water before he stopped. Shinji sighed as he turned back to the others.
"Talk fast. What's going on?" Eddie asked.
"A lot has happened in the last couple of hours, Eddie Brock. My being in this world, bonding with the Symbiote when it attacked me and Dr. Skirth. Taking the other Symbiote with us before we raided the Life Foundation medical laboratory and kitchen for food."
"So... you're from the Life Foundation?" Annie asked. "How?"
"Carlton Drake's rockets found a comet in deep space about six months ago. A comet with millions of living organisms. Symbiotes, looking for a new home. They can survive in deep space easily. On Earth, they need a host because they can't survive in an oxygen-rich environment. But the bonding process is difficult. It doesn't really work if we are physically deprived of food. Drake and his people were literally starving them to death."
"Them? Who them?" Annie asked.
"They were infecting homeless people with the Symbiotes, to see if they were compatible. Like guinea pigs. But not feeding them. Not enough, anyway. The Symbiotes eventually started feeding off their host bodies, plus most of the hosts were incompatible, but it wasn't until Venom escaped, and Toxin was unleashed upon both me and Dr. Skirth that things... changed."
"Dr. Skirth. Is she alright?" Eddie asked.
"She is alive. But in a coma." Shinji said.
"Better than being dead." Eddie mumbled.
"Okay. Back-up. You said that the Symbiote can cure Eddie? How?" Annie asked.
"He needs to eat. The Symbiote is hyper-metabolic, and it needs food. A lot of food. Nutrients and the like. Otherwise it will feed off the host in order to survive. But they also have accelerated healing abilities. So much so that they can cure you of anything from a papercut to broken bones. They can even cure cancer cells." Shinji said.
"Really?" Dan asked, thoroughly interested now.
"Yes."
"What are they?" Dan asked. "I mean are they just called Symbiotes, or..."
"They are called The Klyntar, an inorganic, amorphous, symbiotic extraterrestrial species with great empathic abilities."
The group looked at Shinji in confusion and shock.
"Empathy. You mean..." Annie asked.
"If one is bonded to a noble soul, they in turn become noble. If they are bonded to a corrupt soul, they themselves become manifestations of evil. At least that's how I understand it."
"Wait. You said Toxin and his friend. What friend?" Eddie asked.
"Phage." Shinji said as his left hand suddenly morphed into an elongated snake-like head with a blue coloring and the face that reminded them of Toxin. His right hand suddenly morphed into a yellowish snake-like creature with a similar face. The trio gasped when they saw the pair. "This is Toxin." he said, his head nodding to the blue Symbiote. "And this is Phage." he said, nodding his head towards the yellow Symbiote.
"Uh...Hi." Dan said, slightly shocked at this.
"You have TWO of them?" Eddie gasped.
"Yes. And it's putting a lot of stress on my body. Which is why I needed all those vitamins." Shinji said.
"Uh... okay." Dan said, trying to figure how he was going to explain their loss.
"She was dead and...he brought her back." Shinji said.
"She?" Dan asked.
"Dead?" Annie asked.
"How?" Eddie asked.
"I Will Field This One." Toxin said, startling everyone. "Shinji Is... Unique. He Has A Dormant Genetic Abnormality That I Was Able To Utilize In Order To Resuscitate Phage. She Was Dead. Killed In Carlton Drakes Experiments. I Found Most Of Her, Regenerated Her, With Shinjis Help."
"You... that's... incredible." Dan said, flabbergasted.
"It Wasn't Fun For Me." Phage said.
Dan could only nod at that.
"This Is Why I Have To Consume Much Food And Nutrients." Toxin said. "I Am Literally Eating For Three Here."
"Especially since I don't need much." Shinji said.
"And why we need to stop Carlton Drake." Toxin said.
"What? Why?" Eddie asked.
"Drake's experiments on human beings and the Symbiotes is cruel and unusual. It's also murder and he has to be stopped. Before he brings more of them back to Earth." Shinji said.
"He's planning to do that?" Annie asked.
"No. But Riot might." Shinji said.
'RIOT?!' Venom gasped inside Eddie's head. 'HE'S HERE?!'
"Who is Riot?" Eddie asked.
"He's what you would call a team leader. He was one of the Symbiotes the Life Foundation brought back to Earth." Shinji said.
'BUT HE WASN'T WITH US AT THE FOUNDATION.' Venom said internally.
"But he wasn't at the Foundation." Eddie repeated for Venom. "They only brought three Symbiotes back. And... all of them are right here." he said, his finger circling around the room at the trio.
"Yes. But we don't think he's dead. He's here, on Earth. And if I'm right... If Toxin is right...then he might be heading here." Shinji said.
"This was what? Six Months ago?" Annie asked. "And we haven't seen hide nor hair of this Riot. We didn't even known about these Symbiotes. How do you know he's even alive?"
"I don't. Toxin does." Shinji said.
"Riot Is Very Hard To Kill." Toxin said. "He Is Cunning. Resourceful. Fearless. And Strong. Very Strong. Weaponized."
"Weaponized?" Eddie asked.
"That Is Why He Is Leader." Phage said.
"And if he is... we need your help, Venom. Eddie." Shinji said.
"Whoa. Whoa. Whoa! I am no hero, alright?" Eddie shouted excitedly.
"You might not have a choice. Riot's best chance to bring the comet here to Earth will be to use Carlton Drake's rocket." Shinji said.
"Wait... YOU wanted to get Drakes rocket!" Eddie said, speaking to no one. Only Shinji and his Symbiotes realized he was speaking to Venom.
'YES. BUT 'HE' HAS A POINT.' Venom stated.
"He?" Eddie asked.
'TOXIN! WE HAVE TO GO!' Venom said.
"NO!" Eddie snapped.
'YES!' Venom argued.
"NO! WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT..."
'NO TIME!'
"MAKE TIME!"
Eddie tried to leave the MRI when Shinji quickly rushed forward and slammed into him. The two symbiotes snarled at Eddie, causing Venom to emerge from Eddie's back and hissed at the pair.
"I Am Not Going!" Eddie hissed in Venoms voice.
"We Have To Stop Them!" Toxin/Shinji said, meaning Riot and Drake.
"We Don't Know Riot Is Here!" Venom hissed. "Until We Do, I See No Reason To Bring The Rest Of Our Kind Here! I Will Not Endanger This World!"
"What?" Eddie gasped. "Before you didn't care about that!"
"I Changed My Mind!" Venom snapped.
Shinji and the two symbiotes pushed Eddie and Venom back into the MRI room, continuing to fight as Annie hits the MRI and it causes the three Symbiotes to react violently.
"No, Don't!" Eddie cried out as the sonic pulses blasted through the room.
"SCREEEEEEEEECH!" the trio of symbiotes screamed as their bodies reacted violently to the high-pitched screaming of the MRI.
They separate from their respective hosts and escape into the air vents.
"What was that?" Dan gasped as Eddie and Shinji were lying on the floor. Annie rushed over to Eddie to see how he was.
"Eddie? Eddie?" she asked as he struggled to stand up.
"Uh... where are...?" Dan asked, right before the door to the MRI burst open. "Hey, who are...?"
Dan was the first to see three men rush into the room wearing all black and carrying guns.
Eddie noticed Treece before his men fired at the group. Tranquilizer shots to the quartet.
The men in black moved over to take Eddie and Shinji, yet see no sign of the symbiotes.
"What... the..." Dan gasped as he pulled the tranq-needle out of his stomach before he fell to floor.
Annie was on the floor as well, barely watching as the men dragged Eddie and Shinji out of the room, and unable to move.
It was at least a minute before she heard a faint sloshing sound behind her.

Authors Notes:
Here's Chapter 1 of this Eva/Venom story. Don't know beyond Chapter 2 how this is gonna be. Honestly. I just wanted to write this up for a while now.
Please leave a detailed review for me, and not the same 'update this please'. That tells me you like it, but doesn't tell me what you wanna read.
This was mostly something to help me with my writers block. Another idea I had to get out.
