Chapter 7: Carnage Part 1

"Avengers Priority Alert coming in from the Financial District! Any Avengers in the area, I need you there, now!"

"The Financial District…not that far," she mused to herself as she took off in that direction. As she did so, she pressed her finger on the comm in her ear. "This is Ms. Marvel; I'm 30 seconds out! What's the situation, Cage?"

"Spider-Man, that's what!" Cage replied as he looked at the large flat screens, that served as both entertainment and monitor feeds, of Avengers Mansion, headquarters of the New Avengers. "He needs help with one of his regular bad guys, but from what I'm seeing, this crazy SOB-"

"Cage, who is it?"

"Some red Symbiote freak-Carnate or something!"

"Carnage," Carol corrected, her voice suddenly filled with a hint of fear; she remembered very well the last time she had encountered a Symbiote, and she hated that experience. But she remembered after the Siege as Peter had tried to comfort her over Venom possessing her and her asking how he never went crazy with that thing, he told her that Carnage was MUCH more deadly and sinister than any of the Venom hosts. She prayed that she would never have to encounter this one.

Fate wasn't kind to her today.

"Yeah, Carnage; he just showed up and started randomly killing people. Webs showed up to take him down, but this thing is-Sweet Christmas! Carol, get there, NOW!"

"Almost there-Ms. Marvel out!" she replied with more fear and dread in her voice, but it wasn't for her own concern of facing a more demented version of Venom; it was for Peter: she remembered when he told him how Carnage was one of his most deadly enemies, how he could never sense him and how psychotic and sadistic he was as his host was a notorious serial killer. Whatever Cage had seen to make him react like that filled her with dread.

"I'm coming, Peter, just hang on."

"Ugh…anyone get the number of that truck?" he moaned as he staggered up onto his feet again, only to be slammed back into the ground again by a powerful force, then to be flung into a nearby car. "I'm ok!... ok, no I'm not…"

"Don't leave us yet, Spider-Man," the sadistic drawl rasped as he got back up again. Peter turned his head to see Carnage standing on a nearby armored truck the Symbiote on his body oozing up and down as the villain gave a psychotic smile. "The fun is just starting." Instantly, Carnage began shooting bits of his Symbiote at Spider-Man in the form of axes and knives and such, and the hero barely managed to dodge any of them.

"Stay still, Spider-Man!" Carnage yelled as he laughed mercilessly. "You're ruining the fun!"

'Dammit, this isn't good!' Peter thought as he landed next to where the paramedics were trying to help the badly mutilated victims of the villain/serial killer. 'Gotta figure out how to keep him busy until some help arrives-' Carnage then tackled him, ripping him from his thoughts, as he drove a Symbiote scythe into his arm.

"AARRRGHH!" Peter yelled in agony as he tried to rip Carnage's body off him, but was unsuccessful; Carnage was able to pin him to the ground, slowly driving his finger-like scythe deeper into his arm, making him scream in agony even more. The only upside to this was that his irradiated blood would keep the Symbiote from bonding with it as it did with Kassady all those years ago.

"That's right, scream, bug," Carnage sneered. "Welcome the pain, welcome the death and suffering. This is how life is supposed to be like, Spider-Man-order means nothing and we are all-"

FWOOSH

"GET OFF HIM!" Ms. Marvel roared as she zoomed in and ripped Carnage off of Peter and viciously punched him in the face before flinging him into another nearby car. With the villain out of the way for the moment, Carol immediately rushed over to Peter. She saw that his costume was shredded along the torso and his mask was torn along the mouth and his left eye."Peter, are you ok-oh, my god…" she gasped as she saw the large gash on Peter's arm. "Peter, you're-!"

"Carol," Peter replied as he grabbed her hand. "It's nothing compared to other times; don't worry, it's not as bad as it looks. He just tried to cut off my arm, and it'll heal."

"He was inside you?! I didn't-"

"It's not your fault." His firm voice managed to get through to her. "Look, Carol, I'm just glad you showed up, I don't know how much longer I could've handled him…and…it's nice to see you again, too," he finished with a sheepish grin.

Despite the severity of the situation, Carol couldn't help but smile a bit in return, feeling herself turn a bit pink. "It's nice to see you, Peter, though the situation could-"

"WOHOO, THAT WAS FUN!"

Carol and Peter instantly returned their focus back to Carnage, who was back on the ground, ready to strike.

"I gotta say, Web Man, your lady friend sure can pack a punch! Boy, am I gonna enjoy tearing her apart limb from limb!"

"You had to fight Carnage, of all your bad guys, today, didn't you?" Carol teased as she got up to confront the supervillian.

"Be careful," he replied as medics rushed over to him to tend to his wound.

"Alright, Carnage," Ms. Marvel said as she began floating up, her fists glowing with energy. "I'm giving you one chance to surrender here. I've taken Venom before, so you really-"

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Carnage instantly laughed, and Carol's resolve instantly shook upon hearing the mirthless and sadistic laugh. It sounded so…empty and cold. "The old man?! Are you kidding me?! I was made from Venom, yeah, but I'm NOTHING like that thing! I am waaaay worse than him; whatever happened to you when you fought him-that's NOTHING compared to what I'm gonna do to you, Spider Slut!"

"Ooooh," Spider-Man yelled over as Carol's eyes instantly began glowing in anger, her face etching into anger. "Shouldn't have done that, Kasady!"

Before Carnage could even begin to understand what that meant or what was going on, he was slammed instantly into the ground and punched repeatedly over and over again by two powerful fists.

"DO NOT CALL ME A SLUT!" Carol roared as she continued to pummel the supervillian mercilessly further into the ground. "I GET REALLY ANGRY WHEN PEOPLE SAY-!"

SPLAT SPLAT!

"ARRGH!"

Carnage had spit slabs of the Symbiote from his mouth onto her face, instantly blinding her; what he had unintentionally done, however, was induce fear into Ms. Marvel-once she realized that the Symbiote was on her, memories of when Venom had consumed her filled her mind, and she instantly froze under the pressure. That gave Carnage the opening he needed to instantly retaliate, morphing his claws into long daggers and he slashed at Carol's face.

"ARRGH!"

"Ooh I love it when the ladies scream for me!" Carnage howled gleefully as he continue to hack and slash at the heroine, unrelenting until-

"That's it!" Carol roared as she grabbed one of his arms, breaking it with a single snap.

"AAAAAAUUUGHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Carnage screamed and laughed, horrifying Carol.

'What the hell is wrong with this thing!?' she screamed in her mind.

"If you wanted it rough, you coulda just said so, Ms. Marvel!" Carnage sneered. "I can definitely make a woman out of you!"

"Ok, you just pissed me off more than you did, and I didn't even think that was possible!" Carol retorted as she threw Carnage into the air and blasted him with her photon blasts all the way until he landed onto the ground with a sickening thud. What threw off Carol more was that only seconds later, the villain got up and with sickening pops, relocated his arm other dislocated joints.

"Nice toys there, Ms. Marvel!" Carnage yelled up, a malicious smile on his maw. "But I got some nice toys, too!" With that, he began firing dozens of Symbiote projectiles at her, in the shape of various bladed weapons-axes, knives, daggers, the whole nine yards. Before Carol could dodge, they bombarded her, but thanks to her superhuman durability, she was unaffected by the attack; unfortunately, the same couldn't be said about her costume. The bladed projectiles tore at her costume and boots, ad her mask, already shredded when Carnage had slashed her face, couldn't stand the brunt of the attack and simply tore apart. In retaliation, Carol again fired her energy blasts at Carnage, but the villain was quick and dodged it, then he fired what looked like Spider-Man's web lines up at Carol, latching onto her leg, and before she could make sense of what was going on, Carnage was on her.

Literally.

"So, what did old Venom do to a pretty thing like you, huh?" Carnage laughed as he forced the heroine down with a chokehold. "Tell good ol' Carnage, I'm all ears, baby!"

"GET THE HELL OFF ME!" Ms. Marvel roared as she tried with all her might to get the villain off her, but the serial killer turned supervillian was in no mood to let her go.

In a desperate attempt, Carol rocketed upwards, flying off into the air, racing thousands of feet up, then racing back down, making sure that when she impacted, Carnage would take the brunt of the force and impact. With a powerful boom, Ms. Marvel and Carnage collided onto the ground, the impact more than strong enough to jolt Carnage off of Ms. Marvel. Before the villain could do anything, Carol immediately began punching him again, topping it off with a powerful photon blast. She fired again and again but Carnage, with all the grace of Spider-Man that the Symbiote had inherited, was able to swiftly dodge every single one of the blasts. She was really starting to hate him.

"TIME OUT!"

In total shock and surprise, Carol froze. Carnage waved his claws madly at her, as if telling her to wait. The only thought in her head was, 'What the hell is he doing?!'

Suddenly, two red strands of Symbiote webbing shot out from his claws, flying past Carol. "THINK FAST!" Carnage laughed as he pulled. Immediately, something heavy rammed into Carol from behind, surprising her enough to topple her into the ground. It was a firetruck that had arrived in response to the fires breaking out in Spider-Man and Carnage's battle. When she pushed it off herself, she was greeted by a horrible sight.

"Nice life force-can I borrow it? Thanks!" Carnage sneered as he absorbed the energy of a nearby police officer, the cop slowly withering into nothingness. A second later, Ms. Marvel axe kicked Carnage onto the ground, severing the connection of the two and allowing the bit of life force that the villain had stolen to return to the officer.

"Officer, run-NOW!" Carol yelled, right before Carnage screeched in pure fury as it began pummeling the heroine over and over. Carol, mind you, was a pretty strong heroine, and could go head on with Thor, even the Hulk, if she had to. Carnage…he was pretty strong-not Thor or Hulk strong, but strong, and she remembered how Peter once said Carnage was stronger than he and Venom combined.

"NO ONE MESSES WITH MY FEEDING!" Carnage screeched as he continued to pummel, slash and bite at Ms. Marvel. "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR THAT, B****! I'M GONNA SHOW YOUR BLOOD STAINED BODY TO THE WEB STINKER, AND THEN KILL HIM, TOO! I'M GONNA KILL YOU-"

"You know something?" Carol smirked as she managed to grab Carnage by the throat. "You can get in line, pal!" She used all her strength to fling Carnage into the fire truck that he had crashed into her earlier, and the impact activated the truck's sirens and alarms. Instantly, Carnage began screeching in agony from the intensity of the sound waves…but Carol saw something was off here. She remembered Venom was very vulnerable to sound, so she reasoned Carnage would be too, being both were of the same Symbiote. But Carnage seemed to be more resistant to noise and sonic sounds-especially since he was slowly crawling towards her, a ferocious sneer on his maw, but empty coldness in his white eyes.

"THAT. WAS. UNPLEASANT."

Ok…there was one option she had left, but after trying it with Venom, she had been hesitant to use said option. But it was all she had left now…

"YOU'RE MINE!" Carnage screeched as he pounced at the heroine with the agility and grace of the Amazing Spider-Man-

Right into Carol's hands as she grabbed his maw and thrust her other hand into his mouth. Feeling what she was looking for, she grabbed it and with a yell, she pulled out Cletus Kasady from the maw of the Carnage Symbiote.

"NOOOOOO!" he yelled. But Carol could care less about him right now.

Experience taught her what happens when you forget about the Symbiote if you concentrate on the host.

Throwing Kasady aside, Carol instantly grabbed the Symbiote, which was still shrieking and writhering on the ground, keeping it at arms' length and raced for the heavens, flying through the atmosphere and into space, not stopping until she was half way to the moon. With her incredible speed, she immediately turned back to Earth and raced through the atmosphere. The massive kinetic energy converting to heat not only revitalized her strength and energy, but ate away at the still shrieking Symbiote. The more heat from the faster she went, the more quickly the Symbiote withered away.

'Seems like heat isn't a fan of Carnage,' she thought to herself.

By the time Carol reentered Earth, the Symbiote was completely destroyed.

She had won this time.

The trip only took 20 seconds.

Upon touching down back in Manhattan, where the battle took place between the two of them, Carol was welcomed with cheers by the civilians who had seen the battle. She never noticed them, as she immediately went over to the medics who were treating Peter's wounds; despite how he healing better than the average person, she could still see the gash and was instantly worried.

"How is he?"

"He's fine, the tissue is starting to repair itself, and the blood's clotted. He fainted a few minutes ago but he should come to any second now," one medic replied.

"Good, thanks," Carol said as she turned to see the police and SWAT units cautiously approaching the now nude Cletus Kasady. Their weapons at the ready, they seemed ready to fire at any suspicious movement. She didn't understand why they seemed so tense and nervous.

"Kasady, keep your hands were we can see them!"

"No BS or funny stuff, you hear?! Keep them up or we'll shoot!"

Carnage was done and Cletus was nothing without the Symbiote, so why the heavy precautions?

"…hmm, Carol?" Peter's voice brought her back, and she immediately went over to him. "What happened to Carnage?"

"I took care of him," she replied with a smile. "I took a play from when I took on Venom and separated Kasady from the Symbiote, and burned it up in the atmosphere. Kasady's about to be arrested, so-"

"Wait, what?" Peter said in shock, surprising Carol as he got up from the stretcher he was on. "You separated them? And you just left him?!"

"Well, yeah-he's nothing without the suit, right?"

"Carol, the Symbiote's bonded through him via his BLOOD! Dammit, if he cuts himself-"

"KASADY DON'T DO IT!"

"FIRE, DAMMIT FIRE!"

Both Avengers turned back to the scene as a few officers shot at the nude serial killer.

"Oh, no," Peter gasped.

Instantly, where blood was supposed to come out, a red gunk oozed out of Kasady's wounds and began covering his whole body, and Carol instantly recognized the Symbiote.

"OH, COME ON!"

"Hey, guess what, Blondie!" Carnage cackled as he rose to full height and morphed his claws into long blades and sprouted more clawed arms and arms that ended in scythes and sickles, his maw gleaming with sharp fangs. "I came back for seconds! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
