Happy New Year!

New Year, new story…

I own nothing. All rights belong to their respective owners. Star Wars is owned by Disney. Marvel is owned by Disney. D.C. is owned by Warner Brothers.

I had this idea in my head for a while now… I could not stop thinking about it, so I had to write it. I understand that there are a lot of stories that I have published recently similar to this one, and for that, I am sincerely sorry. I can't say if this will be the last one that I post.

Let the story begin…

(Eddie Reyes's Point of View)

I sighed as I stood on the edge. I was overlooking a pitch-black void. Everything around me was destroyed or in ruin.

A voice appeared behind me and said casually, "Congratulations. You are the sole soul that survived the incursion."

I stood there numb as I whispered numbly, "Are they in a better place?"

"Yes." That was all I needed to hear.

I asked without turning around, "Now, what?"

"Anything you want. You have three wishes to use. Since you survived and since you did not start this calamity." The voice said.

I asked curiously, "Limits?"

"No direct immortality." It said.

I thought about it and then said, "Can I have both the Anti-Venom and Venom Symbiote? But without the Hive Mind?"

"You may. Do you want them?" The voice asked me.

"Yes." That was my reply after thinking about it for a few seconds.

I asked the voice behind me, "May I have a Scarab, like Blue Beetle? However, I want it to be white in color to keep it unique, and I want it to be independent. As in, it is connected to me and my Symbiote and can't be controlled by an outside source… also can you have them get along?"

There was a few seconds of silence before the voice said, "Sure."

I allowed myself to smile for the first time since I survived IT.

"One last wish." It said to me.

I closed my eyes and then said after a few moments, "I would like the powers, skills, and memories of Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader from all timelines and their gear."

I turned around to face the voice, but as I expected, no one was there. But I heard from the void, "As you wish."

I asked It, "When and where would I be going?"

The next thing I knew was a sharp pain on the back of my neck and a warm sensation coating my body, numbing the pain as it was comforting. I swiftly lost consciousness, and I entered the realm of Morpheus.

The next thing I knew, I was in a comfortable area.

I slowly opened my eyes. I looked around and saw I was in a small room with a small bed, though it seemed to fit me well.

I rubbed the back of my neck, and I felt something there. It was about two fists sized. It felt like the shape of a bug… a beetle, to be exact… the Scarab.

I heard a robotic male voice say to my mind, 'Greetings, Host. I am Khepri. The White Scatab.'

I thought back to him, 'Hello, Khepri. My name is Eddie Reyes… but where am I?'

I heard a deep masculine voice say to my mind, 'I am Venom.'

I nodded my head in acknowledgment.

The Scarab said to me mentally, 'Would you like for me to terminate this parasite?'

'PARASITE?!' Venom all but roared in my head, giving me a nasty headache. 'Take that back!'

I shouted in my thoughts, 'ENOUGH! I want the two of you to TRY to get along!'

The White Beetle replied almost immediately, 'Of course Host.'

After a couple of seconds, Venom replied, 'Okay, fine.'

I sighed in relief and thought to them, 'Thank you.' I thought about it for a few minutes before telepathically saying, 'You know, Khepr, when I say Armour Up, that would be code for you to use your armor around me.' I paused for a second or two before telling Venom, 'And for you, Venom, when I say Mask, you coat my body. Depending on the need, you can be bulky or a nearly skin-tight suit.'

The Scarab told me telepathically, 'That seems agreeable.'

Venom said to my mind after Khepri, 'Okay, that does not sound too bad.'

I smiled slightly both internally and on my face. I was really, really glad that they were agreeable. I muttered to myself, "Now, where are we?"

I slowly swung my legs over the edge of the bed and stood up.

I realized that I was only wearing a pair of tighty-whities. I shook my head and thought to Venom, 'Mind changing them into boxer briefs?'

Venom huffed as I felt him cover the white briefs, and then he added some more of himself to cover my body to mid-thigh.

'There, Happy? 'He asked me dryly.

I nodded my head once and then said out loud, "Yup."

Venom huffed, annoyed, but did not do anything counter-productive.

I walked toward where I thought a closet should be. However, there was nothing in the cubby. I frowned slightly and looked around. The closer that I looked, the more I realized that maybe, just maybe, this was not a good place to be.

I took a deep breath in and slowly let it out. I did that a few times.

Khepri spoke to my mind, 'Host seems to be stressed. Would you like me to ease it?'

I shook my head and muttered, "I think I am fine. I do not think I am about to have a panic attack."

Walking toward the metallic wall, I placed my hand on it, and my pseudo-Spider-Sense went off, but I ignored it. I thought to Venom and Khepri, 'Let me test something. I want to try something.'

I got two reluctant agreements.

*ZAP*

I felt a lot of electrical energy course through the wall into my hand, through my body, and into the Scarab.

I acted hurt and fell onto my rear end. I shook my hand in mock pain.

A sharp, piercing, high-pitched, shrill sound came from every direction.

I was lucky that Anti-Venom was highly resistant to both loud noise and fire and maybe even immune to them.

However, it was genuinely deafening, and it was worse than nails on a chalkboard.

I stumbled towards the bed, covered my ears, and then curled into the fetal position.

Khepri deafened my hearing, and Venom numbed the pain as they both healed me.

After what could have been half an hour to an hour, I grew numb to it.

'It is over.' Khepri said to my mind. The Scarab returned my full hearing.

I acted as though I had passed out.

A couple of minutes later, the bed I was on began to lower into the floor. I stayed still and did not move a muscle more than needed, and my *partners* were helping with that.

I heard a cold voice say, "Is he still unconscious?"

"Yes, my lord." A subservient voice said from the opposite side of me.

"Strap him down, and I want bone marrow samples and some spinal fluid." Said the commanding, cold voice.

"Should we sedate him and restrain him?" Asked the other voice.

I could feel the tension in the air as the leader paused and thought about it. After what felt like a few minutes, he said, "Restrain him. I want to feel his pain and hear his cries."

"Of course, my lord." Said the goon's voice.

I thought to my partners, 'Venom, Khepri if we have any tricks to escape… soon would be a great time to use them!'

'Can I eat their brains?' Asked Venom in my mind.

I thought to him, 'Yes, of course!'

The White Beetle replied telepathically to me, 'Host seems to be in distress. Should I Armour Up?'

'Not yet, Khepri. I want to save you for later. An Ace up the sleeve, if you will.' I thought back to him.

The moment the henchman touched my wrist, I gripped it in my hand. He let out a startled yelp. Venom coated my left arm in his bio-mass, and a satisfying *crunch* was heard as I broke the henchman's hand.

"Mask!" I snarled loudly.

'Copy!" was his reply as he formed around me rapidly. I saw my, no, *our* reflection in a glass. I was the color of Anti-Venom.

With a roar, we threw the henchman at his boss, snapping his arm in the process.

Venom said with dark glee, "Brains, pancreas, eye, lungs, face, arms, legs, I just want a taste, so many snacks, so little time to waste!"

The leader asked, "What are you?"

"We are your Doom." Venom and I said together.

In a blur of motion, Venom and I were upon them, and we quickly chowed down on the head of the leader. We stomped toward the subordinate and promptly ate his head, too. Venom licked his face and then ate the rest of the bodies, consuming them and adding them to his boi-mass.

Venom retracted into my body, leaving me alone in the bloodstained metallic room.

I shook my head and then walked around the room. I was looking for any clue or anything to tell me when and where I was.

After a while, I saw an alien-to-earth language. However, to my memories of Anakin Skywalker, it was Galatic Basic. In other words, I could read it. That confirmed I was, at the very minimum, in the Star Wars Universe.

I muttered to myself, "None of this tells me anything." I sighed and shook my head as I asked my partners, "Any ideas on what to do now? I am assuming that we are in space because one of the buttons says to shut down life support systems."

The White Scarab spoke to my mind, 'Sorry, Host, but we may not even be in space. Because we could be in a toxic wasteland.'

I sighed and gave a slight nod of my head as I realized that he may be right.

I muttered, "Okay, then, let's break out of here… Venom, would you kindly cover me up in a thin, skin-tight covering that would act as a space suit?"

'Copy.' Was the response that I got. A moment later, I was covered in a white body suit that covered me from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.

I thought to Khepri, 'Now, could you please Armour Up?'

'Affirmative.' Was what I heard as I felt his Armor covering Venom and myself.

I smirked and then formed a gigantic laser gun. I aimed it at the wall opposite to the control panels. With but a thought, I fired the laser. The beam was white hot as it collided with the wall with a resounding *BOOM*. The force of the impact dented the wall, and the heat turned the wall red, orange, and white hot.

I kept firing the laser, and the wall slowly started to melt.

Alarms started to blare around us, but we chose to ignore it as I poured even more energy into the laser.

The wall soon could not support itself, and it started to fall on itself.

Without a warning, *WHOOSH* There was a breach in the wall, and I felt a strong suction trying to pull me toward the vacuum of space.

Khepri anchored us to the flour by forming clamps on our feet. They were similar to General Grievous's feet claws.

I thought to my partners, 'Okay, let us leave this place.'

'As you wish.' Was The Scarab's reply.

'Roger that.' Was Venom's response.

We unclamped from the floor, but the pressure was the same, so there was no more suction.

We started to move toward the hole in the wall.

I saw the void of space, and I jumped into the vacuum of space.

I turned my legs into rocket thrusters and my arms, and then we jetted through space. I saw that I was a long way from any form of planet. I sighed softly and thought to my partners, 'Okay, take me to a planet where there is a star ship… I really hope that I am here around 32 B.B.Y. and 21 B.B.Y.'

Venom gave me a mental shrug as he said to me telepathically, 'I have no clue on when and where we are.'

Khepri said to my mind, 'Rest, Host. We will alert you when we near a planet or moon.'

I sighed softly but slowly began to fall asleep, allowing my partners to guide me for the foreseeable future.

The next thing that I knew,

I was thrusted into what I assumed was a Force Vision.

I saw Star-Killer-Base blowing up an entire Star System. I felt more than Trillions of lives die at once.

I saw the Death Star blowing up Alderaan, and I felt millions, if not more lives, die simultaneously.

I saw the Fall of the Jedi Order, with Order Sixty-Six (66) and Operation Knight-Fall. I felt thousands of lives die within a few moments and hours.

I saw and felt the Death… and darkness. The Fury of the Dark Side and the Pain of the Light Side.

I saw and felt all of Anakin's and Vader's memories, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and everything in between.

I *WAS* Anakin growing up as a slave in the Outer Rim. His pain was my pain. His rage was my own. I was him, and he was me. *HOWEVER* I was still myself… though I felt different.

(Line Break)

My eyes snapped open as I saw that we were rapidly approaching a planet. The planet was a solid planet, as in it was not a gas giant. It was a mixture of green and blue, though there were no ice caps on it, nor did it have any deserts.

It looked relatively peaceful and habitable.

Though, I recognized it… from Ana-, no… my memories.

Khepri said to me telepathically, 'We are nearing an ideal planet to land on.'

'Good. I was getting somewhat bored. I wonder if there is anything that we can hunt down there.' Venom commented.

I sighed softly and muttered, "Can the two of you get along? Please?" I shook my head, knowing that, that they were not *THAT* bad.

I thought to Khepri, 'Can you hit the afterburners? I want to see how fast we can go.'

'Hitting afterburners, in three… two… one… Engaging the afterburners.' Was the response that I got.

I felt ourselves fly through the vacuum of space even faster than before. I smirked and thought to myself, 'Now this is pod-racing!'

We flew faster and faster toward the green and blue planet.

We hit the upper atmosphere, and we barely slowed down. We turned into a red streak in the sky. A meteorite.

I felt us slow down once we were only a couple hundred feet above the surface of the planet.

We landed soft as a butterfly in the totally forested swampy section of the planet.

The Sacrab said to me telepathically, 'We have arrived on the planet as requested. Awaiting further orders.'

Venom grunted and said, "The air is breathable, and I sense other life forms."

I gave them a nod and said, "Venom, can you give me some regular clothes?"

Venom, still coating my body, nodded my head.

I said, "Okay, I want some clothes. Give me some tan leather pants, a white shirt, a black leather vest, and some black combat boots with white socks."

Venom huffed and said, "Copy."

I asked Khepri, "Can you form me a machete, please?"

The White Beetle replied quickly, 'Of course, Host.'

I explained the type of blade and handle that I wanted to have. It took a few minutes, but I eventually had two machete-like weapons slash tools.

"Venom, could you please form a sheath for me?" I asked one of my partners.

He huffed, annoyed, but complied with my request.

I sheathed one of the blades and started to walk to where I sensed some life forms, sapient life forms.

Happy New Year!

I once again own nothing. All of the rights belong to all of their respective owners.

Well, here is the first chapter. I hope that you all enjoyed it.

Please drop a review and or follow and or favorite my story and or my profile.

Death Fury signing off for the time being.

P.S.

What would you like to see happen? I am open to suggestions and ideas.

I was thinking of dropping Eddie Reyes on Naboo, but I am not sure if I should. What planet would you suggest that falls within the planet that I had described? I am open-minded.

As for the time frame… *WHEN* should I drop Eddie Reyes off? I am not too picky, though I do have a preferred era, but if you (the readers) want to do something new, well, I guess I would have to try to do it.

Before anyone asks me, *YES* with this being a composite Universe. Marvel, D.C., and Star Wars are all in this Universe. Though I am not entirely sure of where I will fit Earth in this, probably in "Wild Space" or the "Unknown Region", something along those lines.

Will there be other characters from the comics? *MAYBE*. Maybe the Green Lantern Corps is here, or maybe Every Color Lantern. However, I am not sure how I am going to include D.C. I am open to suggestions.
Will Marvel be here? *MAYBE* possibly the Guardians of the Galaxy, maybe more. If you have someone that you would like to see, let me know.

Before you ask, I am open-minded to some characters being in the story. Just give me a character that would make some sense in being where they are or a reason where they are and why they are there.
Need an example?
Peter Parker? Maybe he is sucked into a wormhole due to his "Parker Luck" or perhaps he goes to outer space, and something happens (Think Spider-Man Unlimted).

Death Fury wishing you all a Happy New Year and a good Day/Night where ever you are and whatever you are doing.
