He swayed with an alien sensation, vertigo! He'd not suffered vertigo since being bitten, [i]what was[/i] happening to him? Not only was his strength fading, but he wasn't as sharp, his spider-sense was gone and he felt aches and pains where he'd been injured - injuries that should have healed! As a reminder of this, he rubbed his coccyx in response to that resurgent, nagging ache Ann had left him with.
He stood with a groan and shook the cobwebs out of his head, he'd not even had a chance to think since he'd left... 'the school! Tanis, I did it!' He realised his freedom had been achieved, but juddered as the endless falling nightmare he'd experienced flashed back into his mind as he blinked, realising the shape he'd fallen into...
Shutting his eyes, he witnessed those white-hot inked retina hiding in the dark and fell, screaming in his mind, approaching a point where Ann's eyes joined, the edges jagged, the shapes growing into focus where he'd seen only outlines, coiling into intricate facets that contained more within and more within, this hallucination in black and white engulfing him as he fell into black space and approached... her eyes! Infinitely regressing, an endless well of dispair!
Peter juddered as it overtook his mind, his fixation overwhelming, infinity hiding behind his eyelids! He shook in falling horror, a horrible gut-wrenching sense of terror unending despite his stationary position.
Emerging from patterns so complex they alone boggled the mind, he saw the eyes approaching again; ready to scream, he focused on a single eye and looked into its limitless purity, expecting to plunge into infinite white only to find thermal hazel swallow him like magma.
He screamed, he screamed with a ferocious vigour Tanis responded to with an evil smirk, her luscious lips and glorious features belied her identity but those eyes were the same sultry suns now going nuclear on him.
"Mmm!" She groaned unblinking and feigned a wall of diamond-edged tendrils, framing him so perfectly she missed nicking him with her ruby spears by merely the pressure his flesh could handle; the moment he flinched, he cut himself to ribbons, jittering and squirming, jumping back on a bed of swords as he did himself further and further damage.
Swirling streams of red alien seemed to circle his head, he ducking and cowering as though it were crawling over and through him; Carnal's hood enclosed her in its once more utter protection as she flicked a hand about his throat, lifting him easily over her head, those gleaming fangs gave the same promise of unflagging terror her eyes had.
In a few short moments he'd been jumped and beset by threats enough to make him jitter and swerve; his skin was oozing little red speckles where she'd let him self-harm and he found himself falling into her fractal eyes once more, his head exploding into entirely different dimensions.
"We do hope you've not realised the truth, because we've been looking forwards to telling you all about your new love!" Her voice seemed to resonate at the exact frequency to make his spine shiver like an oscilloscope; his head slid down into her palm, comfortably fit within her rangy digits.
He felt the world enclose him as though his own blood had reared up from his wounds and flooded his every oriface, Carnal's airtight hood choking him a good long while - until he kicked and swung aimless, fruitless punches and brinked on unconsciousness; Tanis schemed all the things she could do and with a grin within her skin she let go.
Falling onto his feet, dazed and drawing hurried, desperate breaths Tanis laughed in a low moan, giving him time to draw a breath before her left hand clasped his throat, bending him over backwards, once more squirming and blubbering like he'd seen forever.
"Fact is the whole time you've been falling at your newly beloved's feet, she's wanted you dead with a passion!" Tanis drew her claws from his collar down and down, ripping pinstripes into the skin to send him juddering to the haunting tones of her cruel chuckling.
"The whole act we've just been through was simply to get us here - together, host and symbiote! Oh and of course - you're here as a cot toy from Venom to baby Carnal!" She spoke with all the cold aloofness that said this was just plain torture and he had no pleasure to expect, that even as she enclosed his sex in her own, it was bad news.
"And what a fun toy you are!" She coiled back away, a sense like fur brushed backwards grew teeth and started biting as she peeled the thinnest sliver of flesh from his phalus and revelled in her sexual stirrings, her pencil-sharpener comfortably warming.
"Mmm, you have no idea how satisfying this is! Every jilted lover the world over wishes they were me right now, peeling lemon zest from the [i]filthy slug[/i] responsible!" She played, dancing at irregular intervals, watching him squirm under her measured assault.
With a cry of dominant glee, she tore him off; "You see? So much glory in pain and pleasure, the limits are merely the imagination! Now you're gonna die!" She pulled his head to face her own, gazing closely into his panicked eyes "Oh... there it is! You know I would actually do it! Your terror of me is exquisite!" She toyed with his mind and sniggered.
"He is such a very fun play, no?" Ann added, stood miraculously next to the woman who had robbed him of his sanity, peering over her shoulder. He stood, free of their hands and tendrils: naked, shaking, crying, ready to orgasm and die all at once; he had no words or emotions to explain what he felt nor wanted.
"Pretty little triangles, eh [i]Pumpkin[/i]?" Ann spat sarcastically, stepping out from behind Tanis "And now that we've brought our beautiful daughter into the world, here's the whole truth:" Ann leant right in to his ear, whispering: "We needed Tanis mentally screwed up enough to accept our child, screwed up enough to-"
Carnal pointed a hand at Peter's waist - between Venom's wide legs - in one final act of vengeance: a single stream of her symbiotic other plunged catheter-like into his urethra, swelling his shredded organ with the throbbing stream of her costume. "-juxtapose us! You were the perfect hate figure and we played you like a fiddle!"
She roared in complete, gratified laughter and clutched a hand around his throat as pressure quickly got the better of his reproductive system, Tanis' neutering act matching Venom's: biting and inhaling all the air from his lungs and the last drips of superpower he had to offer, (the spider man's powers now completely Ann Weying's atop her suit's immense abilities,) dropping him barely alive even as she purred at the attentions of Carnal's suit - splattered on her own as his cock had exploded.
Scrambling to some sense, shiverring, bawling and crying out for mercy and salvation, Peter Parker managed to crawl onto his side, just fast enough to see the two symbiote-clad dommes (sharing a flirtatious moment,) step to the building's edge; without pomp or words to suggest it, they had finished with him.
Not a look, nor a taunt, they simply vanished from the life of a being robbed of super-powers, sex, senses and more besides; cruelty and love in obscene degrees - degrees [i]he[/i] had helped create - escaped into the world with no plan nor motive he could justify.
With a slow, gradual realisation... it struck him: he was guilty and now had no path but penance: his powers gone, his defeat was absolute!
Somewhere in the back of his mind he was struck by a sense of irony; he couldn't figure out why but the bitter taste of his own medicine ate away and brought him to tears, half-insane, curling foetal in the centre of the oddly angled rooftop as vapour condensed and joined him, up on a remote three-sided-shape.
Dancing amongst the rooftops - blurs of seamless, flexible colour and shade, thrill pouring into every fibre of Deoxyribonucleic acid, clutched hand and glove with every runny drop of extraterrestrial biota.
Compatible life accentuating their others, [i]they[/i] - red and black - piloted onto and about, through and over every flat and dimensionless space provided by the human hand, [i]supreme[/i] in a flat and sterile land.
Ann asked for no human want, she did not hunger nor dream of freedom nor power, holding no need for another - so entwined in corporeal bonding with her partner who no word could ever estimate.
She fluttered with limitless optimism, roared through every atom of space in consecrated security, she was alive in ways she was not permitted: every sincere feeling hidden in the dark corners of her mind from watchful, judgemental eyes sprung into her throat and screamed liberty at the herd that had lost her!
Her companion in her purpose-built exoskeleton felt everything she had yearned for fragment and scatter on the wind, Tanis listening - removed - to the spiritual screams of angsty, lost and forlorn humanity.
She was not that, her humanity seemed like a lost, repressive dream, a black and white image she had broken free of by sheer force of her own intensity and will, she escaped from the pages she was drawn upon and gushed fluid through the nooks and crannies of the sisyphean tetris puzzle of life.
She approached her own mind with a symbiotic manipulation and shredded every hard-wired synapse leading to familiar decisions and behaviour, her other massaging her ability to imagine and innovate:
Objectives and intentions lost their lustre; plans and scheming became an ad hoc expression of flux; freeform thinking took her in unexpected angles and as she slithered through the city like mercury in a void she chose futility and invested her heart in never achieving nor attempting.
"There is no point to prove, no proof nor witness! Why not be free to misunderstand? To conjure all the unspeakable, ephemeral fantasies the waking mind can tolerate?" Tanis pounced into the sky with explosive soul, trailed by Ann as she dictated.
"Feel, Carnal! This transient rupture of order, live it!" Venom shifted through dimensions, tore time-space a new one, flourished. "Self renewing as all the universe corrodes - we remain! We feel! We cannot waste it!" She screamed intensely.
Tanis spinning, meeting Ann, Symbiote-carried beings embraced in hollow air, melding rapturous, body to body: sensing, sentient, sensual.

[b]Glossary of important ideas and people[/b]
Grotesquery (Pt.1) - Strange, fantastic, incongruous, disturbing. Used in the sense of contradicting sensual form as both sheer aesthetic and hideously obscene and at odds with harmonic existence.
Sigmund Freud (Pt.2) Founder of psychoanalysis, the study of human psychological functioning and behavior. Here is referred to his work on psycho-sexual development , namely the Oedipus complex that a male child subconsciously wishes to eliminate his father as a competitor for the chance to mate with his mother.
Jean-Paul Sartre (Pt.2) Existentialist philosopher here quoted is his idea of Bad Faith - in essence that one denies one's freedom to choose [sic] instead acting as if they are taking no decision, denying their freedom to act but in doing so [i]choosing[/i] not to choose. It is considered a cornerstone of existentialist thought in that it accepts that man is responsible for his own actions and highlights a moral dilemma therein.
Existentialism (Pt.2) A school of philosophical thought focused on the condition of human existence, and an individual's emotions, actions, responsibilities, and thoughts, or the meaning or purpose of life. [sic] In essence that an individual is responsible for giving her or his life meaning.
First Impression (Pt.3) Experiments have shown that it takes as little as the blink of an eye to found your impression of another individual and that your entire concept of another individual is formed within the first few moments of having met.
Ethology (Pt.3) The study of animal behaviour, in this case of social behaviour and importantly rank an Alpha-female is the highest ranking female of a society essentially giving her first option on anything the society possesses.
Inferiority Complex (Pt.4) A subconscious feeling of inferiority towards another or towards society in general. It often represents itself as a need to over-compensate or become socially isolated.
Friedrich Nietzsche (Pt.5) Philosopher responsible for many influential thoughts but quoted here in his ideas regarding pride: that pride and even arrogance is a noble emotion acknowledging the strong and the good while rejecting the weak. Pride should be regarded as positive because it allows us to accept our achievements and become stronger, quite against modern morality's insistence on 24/7 humility despite one's achievements.
Unrequited love/Romantic Rejection (Pt.5) Love that is not reciprocal can nonetheless become the springboard for a sense of rejection and lead to feelings of anger and often hatred felt in direct response to the sense of inadequacy derived from such rejection.
Sadism/Female Domination I 3 it!
Heraclitus (Pt.6) Ancient Greek philosopher marked for identifying that change is central to the universe. Everything flows; nothing remains. [sic] In essence we are accepting that time and tide corrode all.
Sisyphus (Pt.6) - In Greek mythology, he was cursed to forever push a giant boulder to the top of a hill only for it to roll back down again. This is a well documented example of a futile act comitted with great effort.
