Chp 9-Shock Therapy
Peter rushed out the front of the school doors and looked left to see a group of cop cars destroyed and a group of cops lying on the ground. "Shocker," he said quietly to himself. He ran into the nearest alley, dropped his bag, changed into Spider-Man and lept out of the alley, swinging towards the chaos.
(Symbiote theme plays in a low, dark tone)
It crawled out into the sunlight and dragged it's body along the ground. It sensed power. It sensed a host. It sensed life. With a mix of crawling, slinking, and flowing, the symbiote moved towards the source of it's hope...
(Sandman theme plays as he stands there observing the damage, then goes into the Spider-Man fight theme)
"Ha! No one can beat The Shocker!" He laughed and was cut off by a flying drop kick from Spider-Man, knocking Shocker a few feet from him, onto his back.
"Hey, would you look at that," Peter exclaimed, "I just beat The Shocker!"
Shocker stood up. "Boys, get him!" The 5 other men came out of the van, various guns drawn. "Uh oh, I should probably move shouldn't I?" Peter lept high into the air as they began firing. As he started coming down, he lobbed 5 web shots into each of the guns' chambers. He held his outstretched arms and clotheslined two of the five men. :He did a roundhouse kick and took out another and then caught one with an uppercut to the gut. The last man stood there shaking. "Boo," Spider-Man said quickly. The man screamed and ran in the opposite direction. There was a loud sound and a shock-wave of air caught him and launched him through the air.
"Worthless piece of scum!" Peter sat there on all fours in a hunched position.
"Aww come on Shock. You know you'll have to do better than that to outdo me." Shocker balled his fist. "I beat you once Spider-Man and I will do it again," he yelled as he launched a barrage of shock-waves and attacks. Spider-Man lept into the air and swung past Shocker, throwing himself against a building wall and hurling himself off of it again into the air. Shocker spun around, launching varying forms of his waves, getting angry whilst doing it. Then Peter lept in front of Shocker as he threw out both arms.
"Say goodbye web head!!!!" (Matrix slow motion) Spider-Man shot off two web lines that traveled at the gauntlets. As they connected to them, Spider-Man swung his arms in the opposite direction, pulling the gauntlets together as Shocker fired them. The initial blast hit each other and blasted the opposing blasts point blank range at each other. The blast launched Shocker back wards and into the van's side, tipping it over and embedding him in it.Spider-Man hit the ground and rolled. Shocker stood up, barely phased.
"Thank God for this shock absorbing suit!" Spider-Man sighed. Oh boy, Spidey thought. Shocker thrust his hands forward and pressed the activators and a huge spark erupted from the gauntlets. "Shoot! My vibro-smashers are damaged!"
"Aw, did I break your poor wittle gloves?" Spider-Man laughed as Shocker dropped off the van.
"You talk tough but I could still beat you in a fight." He ran at Spider-Man yelling as he did. Spider-Man dodged the punch and hit Shocker in the gut. Shocker doubled over and then countered with an uppercut to the face. Spidey withdrew and Shocker tackled him.He started punching at Peter, missing and hitting the ground each time. Spider-Man brought his legs underneath him and launched Shocker off of him, into the van's bottom. Shocker staggered up. Spider-Man dusted himself off. Shocker yelled and ran at Spider-Man again. Spidey whirled around him and took off Shocker's mask and threw it aside. Shocker turned around to face him.
"Wow what a shocker! No wonder you wear that mask!" Herman snarled and threw a punch. Spider-Man grabbed the gauntlet and slid it off of his arm and then hit him square in the face with it. Shocker gave a slight smile and fell over onto his face. Spider-Man dropped the gauntlet and smiled underneath the mask. As he began webbing up Shocker and the rest of his gang, he suddenly remembered Dr. Connors and lept away from the scene as police came to arrest them.
It had reached the fight scene, just as the failed host dropped a shiny metal object to the ground. While it's failed host started to wrap the other up, it slithered and crawled and oozed towards the metal glove and latched itself inside, positioning itself flat so it wasn't noticed. After the failed host had left, it began to slowly move out of the gauntlet towards it's prize, but quickly sank back into the glove as uniformed humans came over to attend to it's hope. They picked up the metal glove and dropped it into an evidence bag and placed it into a car as the men handled the other criminals. The symbiote lay there in it's new confinement and waited patiently again.
Peter swung into the alley and changed again. The he rushed into the school again and to where the ruined lab is. He looked around, but there was no sign of Dr. Connor's body or even where he was laying. As Peter continued searching for the good doctor, a sudden rush of fear seized him. The black mass was gone. It's container had been damaged in the explosion and it must of left. Peter began to sweat as visions of the black mass filled his mind. He felt it creeping against his skin and swallowing him once again. For the first time in a while, Peter was afraid.
Chp. 10-New Flesh
Martha Connors finished the dishes, wondering where her husband was. "Why are you so late Curt," she whispered to herself. As she finished, she heard a voice.
"Martha," the voice was faint. She looked around, searching for the voice's source. "Martha," the voice continued, coming from outside. She went to the window. "
Curt? Is that you," she asked at the darkness. Suddenly, a monstrous reptilian face with dark red eyes, a black iris split in them, it's dark, green scales concealed almost the entire body except for the torn white of the lab coat it was wearing and it's glowing eyes.
"Martha it'ssssssss me. Curt" ( Sandman sad theme )Martha shrieked as the reptilian thing reached out for her, it's clawed hands and a sign of compassion in it's deep voice and eyes. "Martha pleasssssssse. It'sssssssss me. Look passsssst thessssssssse red eyesssssss and sssssssee me, the facccccccccce of your husssssssband."
She quickly grabbed a large knife she had just watched and backed away from the window. "Get away from me you...you...Lizard!!" The reptile's eyes flared up with rage.
"Martha," it roared, almost inhumanely, it's voice echoing throughout the house. Then it smashed through the wall and stepped into the house. Martha screamed loudly again. The beast walked upon it's hind legs and was slightly hunched over, it's enormous 7 foot tall body taking up the entire kitchen. It wore a tattered lab coat and pants, it's inner shirt underneath the coat ripped. A large tail swung behind him. Saliva dripped freely from it's mouth and the claws on it's fingers and toes were yellow. It stomped over to her and grasped her by the throat, it's hot breath upon her face causing her to drop the knife. "Why don't you sssssssssee it'ssssssssss me," it bellowed fiercely.
"Mommy," a young boy's voice sounded. Connors looked to his side and saw his little boy Billy. The boy looked frightened and helpless. Curt let go of his wife's throat and she ran over to her boy. Curt looked at them and a lone tear formed in his red eye.
"I'm ssssssssssorry. I'm sssssssssssso ssssssssssssorry." He turned and ran out into the darkness again. And in the blackness, Martha swore she could hear Curt's voice scream.
"Alright Schultz, get moving!" The guard shoved him on down the corridor. Another guard followed close behind them, holding onto a large brown bag containing the Shocker's costume and damaged vibro-smashers as evidence. The symbiote reached up out of the gauntlet and dropped out of the bag and onto the floor. It quickly moved underneath another door and out of the way of the guards. (The door it slips under reads "Maximum Security". Upon us seeing this, the symbiote theme begins playing, only darker and lower sounding.) The symbiote grappled with the ground and crawled along as it moved about. It had sensed a better host for it's needs, one that it knew would accept it's gift and use it wisely. A host that would feed off of it, just as it would feed off of the host. It made it's way to the barred cell at the end of the road.
Heinous giggling fills the decrepit corridor leading past the cells and originating from the one on the end. The symbiote crossed over the bars and slowly climbed up them. The giggling man turned from what he was writing on the wall. "Why hello," he said giggling, "What are you doing little fella? Come to visit your uncle Cassidy have you?" He giggled some more and the symbiote reared it's "head" and formed a mouth. (Very low but fast paced symbiote theme begins playing) The symbiote then latched onto Cassidy, wrapping it's tentacles around him.
"Hey! Hey man! What the hell is going on?! Get off of me! What the hell are you!" He tried to fight but the symbiote began to increase in size and begin Then it saw something that made itself even more satisfied with it's choice.A cut in the man's arm, a fresh one. The symbiote dived into the wound, causing the man to scream and laugh at the same time. The door burst open and two armed guards rushed in and saw the horror that was before them. Cletus Cassidy sit there on his knees in front of the bars. He was breathing heavy. Behind him on the wall was "Carnage Rules" written in blood. Cassidy lifted his head and looked at the guards. "And to think, I hesitated," he spoke softly. Then with a burst of insane laughter the symbiote exploded from his mouth and body, covering him in a red and black outer layer. His laughing grew more ferocious and distorted, as if 2 voices were blending together. The police opened fire as the transformation completed. Then the guards each screamed as the symbiote stretched out from the body of it's new host and went out towards the men. They continue screaming, their moans of pain being drowned out by the sinister double laughter of the new being that would soon be unleashed from Ryker's Prison.
