Spider-man was at a loss. He knew Kraven had Ava's White Tiger amulet, but he had no clue where to find him. Under normal circumstances, Spider-man would've gone to S.H.I.E.L.D. for any surveillance they'd found that could lead him to Kraven. Unfortunately, the only way to get any information on Kraven's whereabouts was the downed Tri-Carrier.
I really shouldn't be doing this, jumping right into a symbiote infested wreck looking for something that might not even be there is not my best plan ever. Still, if there's a chance I could find that Russian nutjob I have to take it.
Spider-man slingshotted himself back onto the Tri-Carrier, except this time he knew what he was in for.
Gotta stick to the shadows, get it? Stick? Because I'm Spider-man? I crack myself up. Okay, I need to focus. In and out, quick and easy.
Spider-man crawled through a vent on the deck of the Tri-Carrier and into the wreckage. As he made his way through the ducts Spider-man could hear the symbiotes shuffling around below him. Spider-man continued until he reached the helm of the ship. Looking down through a grate, he could see Fury's main computer and a curious looking metal sphere. With no sign of the symbiotes, Spider-man opened the grate and jumped down.
Let's see here, latest entries...nothing on Kraven...maybe if I check the date when he beat the other me and Ava…
Logs and logs scrolled past Spider-man's eyes, until he stopped at a certain report.
Bingo! Sergei Kravinoff, AKA Kraven the Hunter, last seen at..the Raft? The super-villain prison? If he's locked up how could Ava not have her amulet back? Weird...all the entries on the Raft stop here…
Spider-man searched for more on the Raft but found nothing. He was about to leave until he noticed the most recent data that had been entered in the S.H.I.E.L.D. database.
No...what did they do...Project: Venom!? That's how the symbiotes got here! S.H.I.E.L.D. must've contained it and experimented on it, looks like it got out of control. Says here Dr. Connors managed to change it to get rid off all the crazy cooped up inside that thing.
Spider-man looked over at the sphere he saw earlier.
That must be the finished product. They reduced it in size so that it couldn't take over anyone, at least not anyone with superpowers. I guess all those agents had been volunteers to see if what the Docs did worked.
Spider-man was considering using it, to give himself an added power boost, but then he realized how bad of an idea that was. Still, he took Venom with him to ensure that nobody else could use it. Spidey jumped back up into the vents and made his way out.
Why do I get the feeling those symbiotes know something's up...can they sense the Venom I'm carrying? I really hope not.
Spider-man heard a crashing noise, and felt a tug on his leg.
"Me and my big mouth." Spider-man was yanked through the vent down into the halls of the Tri-Carrier. "Hey guys, I was just visiting so if you don't mind I actually know my way out so…"
The symbiotes jumped him from all directions, nothing driving them but the desire to end the wall crawler.
"Oh boy! I guess that's my cue to boogie!" Spider-man jumped up and began running along the ceiling, dodging tendrils and claw swipes from below.
Oh man oh man oh man this could not get any worse! Spider-man looked down and saw the Venom container was leaking. Crap I did it again, Oh no you don't small dark and gooey. I'm not your new best friend so stay right there.
In his moment of distraction a symbiote managed to clip his leg and bring Spider-man down off the ceiling.
"Great, now there's more of them. I need to get a new hobby." Spider-man looked around him, the symbiotes were closing in, and Venom was looking like a better idea by the second. "I know I'm so gonna regret this."
Spider-man punched his fist through the metal container and allowed Venom to cover him.
The symbiotes were thrown back in waves as they were overpowered en masse. The only thing you could hear was the crunching of fist against slime, bodies being thrown against metal walls, and then nothing. After all had settled down a figure stood triumphant above the rest. A man in black suit with a large white spider adorning his chest. Spider-man had used the power of Venom to defeat all the symbiotes.
"Well, as long as you don't take over my body I think I can live with this." Spider-man looked himself over, still a bit skeptical of his new partner. "Well, let's find Kraven."
