Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Venom Petals. Enjoy the 2600-word chapter. I do not own RWBY or Spidey, Monty Oum, Marvel, and a few others do.
"What is it you believe will happen?" He asked before he looked to the side.
"I believe you are talking to yourself." The other snarked. "You of all people know I cannot tell… The human man who runs this school? He knows." He stated before he looked to the side.
The boy sighed and shook his head before he looked at the figure, a small little blob of ink. It was not a Grimm, however as one might know.
"What then? I have tried to keep you quiet for years." He stated.
"I know… But we have work to deal with… So, get out of bed and go get to work. We do not have time for this." The blob stated.
The figure sighed as he slowly rolled out of bed and the blob transformed into a human-like figure.
"You know, for a Huntsmen? I do not know that your kind was so… Stupid." The symbiote stated.
"Said the wad of goo." The boy stated, garnering a chuckle.
"That right there is where I like you, Elec…. All that humor." The symbiote stated.
"Hysteric? We have better stuff to do now." Elec stated.
"Well aware, Mr. Lazu… Now, let us get out of here, we got stuff to do…." Hysteric stated.
He sighed and shook his head and then looked to the side, too interested in what he could have done when it came down to it all.
The symbiote chuckled as the boy managed to put on a pair of blue and black sneakers, a blue T-shirt with an emblem of a blue star, and finally a black and blue jacket with neon lines running up and down it.
Hysteric chuckled and then latched onto the blue-eyed boy's shoulders.
"You know I can pretend to be clothing," Hysteric stated.
"You realize that means I'm naked when you come off, right?" Elec stated.
"Details, details… Let us get to work, partner." Elec heard as the symbiote changed shape.
He sighed and let it all consume him as the Klyntar shifted from its goo-like small form.
Elec's hands turned into five digited claws, his feet also forming similar shapes, Hysteric shapeshifted his head into a hood-like wrap, some strands forming a scarf-like appendage. The Symbiote formed a star-like object on his chest and formed blades on his elbows.
"Nerd." Hysteric snarked as Elec rolled his eyes.
"You got this idea from a comic book," Elec stated.
"Nerd…" Hysteric stated, his tone sounding far more amused than angered.
The boy leaped out into the city and then unlatched a fleshy tendril from his wrist which tossed him down the street.
He had been too eager to get to work for Hysteric not to notice how fidgety the boy was. Despite their… Odd partnership, the Klyntar sighed.
"School will not part us. This Ozpin knows of my kind, it knows we are not Grimm… If there were any problems with it? We embrace them…. You know I would help." Hysteric stated.
"I know," Elec stated as they latched onto a building. "But most don't know how it is working out for now," Elec stated before he clicked his fingers.
Elec seemed to think more and more about what was going on before he seemed to grow more and more with such a thing as he clicked it once more.
Elec seemed to lean down on the wall as he clicked his fingers before he looked to the side. The symbiote was eager to think, to fight through it as he paused to let himself think of what as he clicked his tongue.
He did not know what was growing on his mind once more, he rubbed at his temples before he sighed and then shook his head.
He sighed for the time being at the time being, too exhausted and too interested in something else to deal with for now, and then thought of it once more
He wished to let it figure it out once more before he glanced around at the ground. They had a lot more to see and do at the end of it each more and more and more with what he continued to do.
He was silent, for good reason… He would not have it on his hands… Not his hands at least.
He swung through the city; it was faster than any car… Well, any normal car… And any normal person, he supposed.
Hysteric was also crazy; cars were not crazy in his mind. They were fast but… To be fair? He liked running around the city like this, it was fun and it was exciting to them all at the end of the day, so much so that it had become harder and harder to deal with.
Hysteric and him perched atop the building. She was too focused on something, too eager to deal with it now, and for good reason.
All of it? all such ideas that both had come to terms with… So much had been lost… And so much had been taken from it as of now.
They had a lot more to deal with and a lot more to understand, something that had become harder and harder to figure out.
All he did know was simple… He had work to do, he would do plenty and so would much more and for so many people for now and such.
He sighed and looked at the symbiote, looking at the small little creature who had become his friend.
It had been something else that had been considered at the end of the day and for a good reason.
"Worried, hmm? Because we both worry, we both understand what is at stake. The best we can do at the end of the day is simple, we stand and fight…. We fight because we got to… And because it is fun. You like fun." Hysteric stated as Elec hummed.
The symbiote was silent as it knew that he of all people wished to think. Elec was not a stupid kid and Hysteric considered him smart enough to be a suitable host.
That said? He also knew the human master of the school was not stupid either. They knew that Hysteric was not normal, they knew he EXISTED… Something he would rather them not, why? Because they had hunted his kind before, they had treated him as prey.
Granted? He knew that they had reasons… But he HATED being seen as nothing more than prey, nothing more than a creature to be hunted down and slain.
Yes, he had been eager to figure it all out now, and for good reason. He had been too eager to figure something else… He had to know now, had to understand it all, and for a good reason. He had to be better, much better, and much more tiring now so they backed off… If he was alone again? He would starve.
He could not starve now, he could not be alone again now, it would not be fair at the time being… He would continue to think of what was growing on his mind before he relaxed once more and then thought once more.
He sighed, leaning on the wall before Hysteric hummed to himself and thought of it all when it came down to it. Hysteric slowly looped his form around to its host before speaking.
"The school cannot know I exist. They would not care…. But the head human would tell friends and their friends." Hysteric stated as he paused to try and think of it.
Elec was too focused on trying to think of what was going on in his mind now and for good reason.
They were prepared for another fight; they were prepared for a LOT more. Yet? They had been discussing something for now as it came crashing down to it more and more.
He seemed to be done with it now and for good reason…. All of it had been enough to break it into the mind.
"Ok, we need to get to get going." Elec was silent and for good reason at the time being. "The more we must get done…. There is work being done." Elec stated before he sighed.
(On the ground)
16-year-old Ruby Rose watched as the blob-like being tossed themselves down the street, swinging downwards and then vanishing around the corner.
"So, he DOES exist…." Ruby stated a giant smirk had split her lips, something that delighted her to no end.
She had heard stories of a giant blob-like monster known as Hysteric. Well, a 'superhero.' As they were called for now.
She watched as they vanished around the corner, knowing what was going on. He was dealing with another crime, just like he usually did.
(2 hours later)
"As you can see, the rest of the criminals were trapped to walls, their dust also left behind." Ruby heard.
The crime scene seemed to be straightforward. 8 guys were stuck to the walls, guns crushed like they were pieces of toys…. All of them had been thoroughly defeated… All of them.
She had not been able to think, not much… No, this sort of news came on now and again but now? Now? They had realized a sort of superhero was entering the city.
She had been eager to find them, to ask a question…. Now? Now it was just too odd when it came crashing down.
Ruby? She wanted to find them. She wanted to find them and be eager to figure it out now… Such sorts of issues were rare but they existed… They were always going to exist now at the time being as she thought once more.
Ruby was eager to think of it once more as Ruby thought of it now and for a good reason as she paused to try and think of it for the time.
She did not know what was growing on her mind and for good reason. Ruby was eager to grasp for now how his powers worked and for good reason.
Now and for good reason did he wish to think, to act… Now and for good reason he decided to come out from hiding. For some reason? Ruby found it to be jaw-dropping, she had WANTED it to be better, something that she wished it to have been.
To be fair? She knew very well how crazy it was to expect them to be friendly, the sketch she had of the creature was nothing short of nightmare-inducing… Not once did she wish for a fight… But if so?
Well, such was life… She would not care much if she was damned of trying to be nice. Not now at the very least.
She looked to the side, she looked around, and realized that trying to find Hysteric was not going to be easy… But? She wanted to, she wanted to ask why he did this and what drove him to be this way. So? She did so and she did not care.
Granted? She could die… But trying to help was what a hero does.
(With Hysteric)
Hysteric felt pain, yes. Very much pain, pain which crippled his entire damn body as it bled… Hysteric simply closed back the wounds like their body was made from plaster.
"If it was anyone else… You die, if it was not you? Die." Hysteric stated before Elec snorted.
Elec felt every single bit of pain, sure… But they were different, he could and would be different… The more they changed? The more he knew each cut and scratch was different, he would have to become different… He would have to be.
All he was a soldier. All he was seemed to be this… He was this and it was clear being different was odd but it was how he was, he would fight… And he would die, he would survive this until he was capable of something else… Then? And only then would he submit, for now, knowing what was going on at the end of the day.
Yes, he had to fix it, he had to do better. Elec was silent for now but for good reason, he knew Hysteric could hear every single thought.
To be fair? He had a LOT more than this as of now, a LOT more was going on inside their shared heads as both had different ideas.
He was worn down and all of this did not help. If he had a weakness? It was not getting to rest, to let himself be healed up before he went back out into the howling dark.
To be fair? Such a thing was beyond even his pull. Even he had his flaws, his problems which spiraled far out of control.
That bothered him but it was not like he was entirely free of it to the end. Each little idea had piled up again and again and again.
He and Hysteric were different in similar ways… But he was still willing to help others now and for good reason at the time being.
"You know something…. You are a silly little ball of goo when it comes to us working like this." Hysteric heard from Elec as he leaned on the wall before he rubbed at his temples.
The symbiote slowly flowed away from him before he sighed to himself and thought once more. Hysteric was too interested in what was growing for now as he clicked his fingers.
Elec was too focused on trying to think of it now and for good reason. Elec sighed before the symbiote melted away from his face. Now? Now they had a LOT of work left to do and a LOT of it.
Hysteric hummed, thinking for now as he clicked his fingers, not once did he wish to try and figure it out as he paused, thinking of it when it came crashing into the ground.
There were cheers as the two looked downwards to the ground, too fascinated at the time being. Hysteric looked at the person who owned it for now as he crashed it into the ground and he sighed to himself.
Hysteric was too eager to think of what was growing in his multi-faceted brain. They had been crashed into the ground as he did not wish to keep growing more and more bored with interest in it all now and for good reason.
To be fair? The symbiote did not at all know when it came crashing to it as he paused to try and figure it out once more.
"We have a fan?" Hysteric asked. "A fan? Those nice people?" Hysteric asked.
"Shh," Elec said as their mask reformed. "Shh, we don't need them to know you're a living creature," Elec said.
"I am." Hysteric quipped. "And I want to eat them," Hysteric said, a grin crossing his face.
"No." Hysteric heard. "We do not eat them," Elec stated.
"Why? I am hungry. We need food." Hysteric stated.
"Because good guys don't EAT good people," Elec stated. "You know," Elec stated.
Author Notes
Phew. Another chapter is done! I want to point out that this series will not ENTIRELY follow the RWBY timeline. Also? To the person saying Hysteric is female? I believe I might have messed up. Hysteric is male. The next chapter will show more of Hysteric and Elec meeting Ruby and more of Ozpin finding out about the symbiote and how they got to Remnant. Until the 900–6500-word chapter, Lighting Wolf out!
