Peter quickly sprang into action, taking down all the other symbiotes. During the fight, Peter asked Miles where the symbiote came from. Miles explained to him that him and Martin worked together to free Peter from the symbiote taking him over. Peter was surprised that him and Martin worked together but Miles said that he wasn't going to just let him die. Peter replied by saying that thank you seemed soft after what he did for him. Miles said that it's alright and that he already knows before hanging up and letting Peter continue fighting.

Peter took the symbiotes out but more of them kept coming. He quickly took care of those as well, leaving just him and a big symbiote brute. He fought it and got a few hits in before the brute managed to get on top of him, pinning him down. Miles and Martin saw it happen and Miles was about to step in when something hit the brute in the back, causing it to roar in pain. That was when a big red tendril wrapped around one of the brute's arms. Peter looked over and saw a familiar red and yellow symbiote.

"Get your claws off him" MJ and Scream said in unison.

She then used her hair-like tendrils to throw the brute away with so much force, that it separated the symbiote from its host. Miles and Martin watched from a distance, stunned.

"Woah" Miles uttered.

As Peter was getting up, Scream's face retracted to reveal MJ's face and she ran to his aid.

"Are you alright" she asked him.

"Yeah…I'm OK" he replied.

"What's with the new white and black suit" she asked him.

"Long story" he replied.

Miles swung down, Martin hanging onto him.

"I thought we lost you, man" said Miles.

They all looked over at Martin.

"Guess I should thank you" said Peter.

"I spent years of my life consumed with vengeance…and lost everything for it. You reminded me that's not who I am. When you help someone, you help everyone" said Martin.

Martin then began to walk away.

"Where are you gonna go" Miles asked him.

He stopped and looked back them.

"To set things right. Your way" he replied.

Martin then turned around and walked away.

"Wow, reforming your greatest enemy. Can't say I've ever done that" said Peter.

MJ smiled as she and Peter looked over at Miles.

"Why would this city need me when it has you" Peter asked him.

"I don't know. This city still looks like a two Spider-Man job to me" he replied.

They shook hands before Miles swung away. Scream overtook MJ's face and both they and Peter went the other away.

The next shot is MJ and Peter sitting on a rooftop, after Peter explained to her what happened.

"So, Martin Li drained his power into whatever was left of the symbiote inside of you" she asked him.

"Yeah" he replied.

"How does it feel" she asked him.

"It's…different. The voices are gone but the power is still there" he replied.

"That's incredible" said MJ.

"You and Scream definitely showed up in the nick of time" said Peter.

A red and yellow tendril came out of MJ's right shoulder and Scream appeared to talk to them.

"We sensed that you were in danger and we rushed over to help" she said.

"You did" Peter asked them.

"Yeah. And Pete…I got my byline pulled from that article and…I gave my landlord notice" MJ replied.

"Does that mean" she cut him off.

"It means…if the world is going to get turned into an alien wasteland. There's no one I'd rather be gooed up with than you" she said.

"Ahh, feeling's is mutual" said Peter.

They both kissed.

"While that is very touching and sweet, I quite frankly would rather cease to exist than be force to live in an enslaved world" said Scream.

"Don't worry. We won't let that happen" said Peter.

"So, here's our side of the story" said MJ.

30 MINUTES EARLIER

MJ got off the phone with her landlord, calling to say that she was giving her notice. She put her phone down and sighed in relief.

"Feeling like a big burden was lifted off your shoulders" Scream asked her.

She jumped a little, almost forgetting that she was still bonded with Scream.

"I almost forgot you were here. You don't talk much, do you" MJ asked her.

A red and yellow tendril came out of her right shoulder as Scream appeared to talk to her.

"I must confess that I'm not much of a talker" she said.

That was when they both heard screaming come from outside. They peered out the window and saw more symbiotes out on the street.

"More of them" MJ uttered.

She looked over at Scream with a look of determination on her face and nodded. Scream knew exactly where she was going and quickly enveloped her. As the symbiotes ravaged the neighborhood, all the innocent people running for their lives, Scream leaped into the middle of them and started attacking them. She used her hair-like tendrils to smack and slam them around and using her claws to rip the symbiotes apart from their hosts with ease. Soon enough, all of the symbiotes have been taken care of and Scream jumped away to a secluded location.

"Is this what it's like to be in Pete's shoes? It's so…intense and…invigorating" said MJ.

"The bond between a symbiote and its host is beneficial for both sides. The symbiote can survive and thrive within its host, while the host is healed and given incredible power in return. A win-win situation for both" said Scream.

"Out of curiosity, do you need anything else to survive besides a host" MJ asked her.

"Yes, we require phenethylamine from time to time" she replied.

"And where do we get that" MJ asked her.

"Food. More specifically meat, chocolate and dairy products" she replied.

"Oh, well that's not a problem at all" said MJ.

Scream continued forward and climbed up to a vantage point where she could see almost all of New York.

"This world really is beautiful. It sickens me knowing what Venom is trying to do to it" she said.

"Don't worry. We'll stop him and get Harry back from him" said MJ.

"Argh" they both cried out in pain.

That was when they got sucked back into the place where all symbiotes are connected – the hive mind.

"Is this place…" MJ was cut off.

"The hive mind? Yes" said Scream.

Scream and MJ carefully walked and leapt around the hive mind for a little bit until they both heard a deep ghoulish voice that they recognized.

"Scream" it growled.

Venom.
