Chapter 17:

Spider-Man was swinging through the bust night of New York, he was stopping every criminal and supervillain with ease.

Everything seemed great, everyone was cheering him on, happy to see the web-head swing by and save the day.

As he begun to swing off into the night sky, Spider-Man couldn't help but think, "Today has been great, I defeated the Six, caught every criminal and put them in jail, nothing can ruin this."

Just then, something struck him mid swing, sending him crashing onto a nearby roof. As he got up, the mysterious individual who stuck him landed on the other side of the roof.

Spider-Man took a good look at who struck him and he was terrified at what he saw. It was the red lifeform, tendrils sprouting from its back as it walked forward. It had blood dripping from its jaw, a sinister smile on its face. It was also holding something in his hands, it was his own head, covered in the black mask of his symbiote form.

"W-what the hell…."

"Join ussssss……be whoooooole……be one agaaaaaain …." the crimson symbiote spoke as it's tendrils began to wrap around Spider-Man.

Spider-Man struggled to get them off of him, but it was for naught as the tendrils separated from the alien and began to continue to envelope.

Spider-Man began to walk backwards, closer to the edge of the roof as he still struggles to get them off.

"No. No. No! NO!"

/

"Omph!" Peter yelped as he awoke on the floor.

"Just a nightmare, just a nightmare…."

Peter then looked around to see if he accidentally woke anybody up. From the looks of it everyone was still asleep. He then decided to see if the symbiote woke up, "Symbie you awake?" But no response.

Seeing as he was the only one to wake up, he looks at the clock to see that it was 4 in the morning.

"Man it's early, but I don't think I can go back to asleep either. Guess I'll get ready and just see what I can do in the meantime." Peter thought to himself as he went to change in the bathroom.

Once he finished, he exited the bathroom and went towards the door of the dorm to leave, but just before he left he looked back at the girls once more to see them all sleeping soundly.

He sighs as he left, he just hoped that none of them get involved with what he had to inevitably face.

/

Chaos, that was all that could be seen across the land. Nothing but death and decay was found on the entire planet. Followed by all this death was the crimson symbiote, bathed in the blood of its enemies. It had consumed everyone and left nothing behind.

It let out a screech of victory, followed by the screeches of smaller versions of itself standing next to the corpses scattered onto the floor.

Just then something struck the creature back multiple feet, causing it to crash into a nearby building.

Suddenly, all the smaller copies of itself were attack and destroyed, leaving nothing but a goopy mess behind.

The crimson symbiote looked to see at what could have dared to strike them.

It was the original.

The Spider was still alive, starring blankly at the creature. In a roar of both anger and excitement, the creature began to attack him.

It easily slashed at the Spider, landing multiple strikes that drew out blood from the him. The Spider tried to fight back but the crimson symbiote wouldn't allow it. It wrapped tendrils around each of the Spider's limbs and began to rip them off of him.

The Spider screamed in pain, but his voice was then cut short as the creature wrapped around him, fully absorbing him into its biomass.

The alien let out a roar of victory, the roar being loud enough for everyone to hear across the planet.

"RAAAAAEEEEEEEEE"

/

The crimson symbiote opened its eyes, waking up from its slumber. It then moved the rocks it had in front of the hole it made and crawled out. It had finally recovered from its injuries, not only that but it had also gotten stronger.

Of course it would still be careful, those machines could still hurt it, but that won't stop them. No, it won't let them win. It will destroy those machines and anyone else who would get in its way.

The creature began to run through the empty sewers, looking for anyone foolish enough to seek it out. Fortunately for it, it spotted a couple soldiers exploring the sewers, most likely trying to locate it.

It listened to them as it crawled on the ceiling of the sewers, biding its time until it strikes.

"So, think that thing is here?" a male soldier spoke.

"Probably, from what the General Ironwood, said it dug underground and could be asleep. Supposedly , it could be the perfect time to find it." A female soldier replied.

"I don't get why he didn't send the Knights, they almost did the job in getting the thing. Speaking of which, does anybody know what it is?" the soldier asked.

"I don't know, any info on it is classified, only high ranking officials have access to it. We only got orders to find it and use these flame throwers on it." The fellow soldier responded.

"Think the other guys found anything?"

"Not sure, we can contact them in a few moments. Let's just get the job done. Maybe Ironwood might promote one of us if we succeed." The female explained.

"I just hope we get a rai-" but the soldier didn't finish as the alien jumped down and bit his off.

"What the hell!" the other soldiers screamed as she tried to fire her flamethrower. Unfortunately she wasn't fast enough as the creature bit her slicer head off by using of its tendrils to do.

The last few seconds of consciousness she had was the sight of her head being pick up and eaten by said creature.

The crimson symbiote looked down at the now beheaded prey, as much as it would have loved to eat more, there were more soldiers down here left to kill.

As it began to make it's way through the began to ponder about the name Ironwood, this must be the one who sent those machines after it, and stopped it from getting what it wanted.

Yes, it had to be, he was the one. The creature began to hiss in anger. It will have its vengeance on the general.

/

Peter was in the science lab once more, finishing with the repairs on his web-shooters. He then put them on and shot out a web onto the other side of the wall.

"Nice, finally fixed them, and made them much more sturdier too." Peter said to himself as he admired his equipment.

He then put the web-shooters into his backpack, tucking them away. Peter then looked at the white board he and the symbiote wrote on previously. He had written so many notes, multiple plans that could help him take care of the red alien.

"No, none of these will work. Maybe gene cleanser." Peter began as he wrote down that possibility, "Then again it could be used against me like I did to Symbie back home. Besides I don't even know how to make it. Never really got those notes…."

Peter ruled that plan out quickly, so far he arrived at nothing but dead ends. He couldn't destroy the symbiote before, how could he destroy the red one? Especially since it might have gotten stronger since last time he encountered it.

"Come on Parker think….." Peter told himself.

But nothing, he couldn't think of a way to defeat it without getting killed himself.

"I can't, I never truly beat the symbiote before, how am I supposed to beat one even stronger?" Peter asked himself. "I wonder if Oz is still looking at the possibility of fire lady being inside the school? As much as I want to look into that I need to deal with the red symbiote first." Peter said to himself as he continued to write more on the white board.

Peter would continue this cycle of planning where he would come up with an idea, only to reject it due to complications. After an hour of not being able to think of a plan, Peter decided to just leave the lab and get something to eat. Maybe when the symbiote wakes up the both of them can come up with a solution.

"I'm so tired, I wish I could sleep. Maybe some food and more coffee will wake me up." Peter assumed as he arrives at the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was empty, due to how early it was he was the only one there. Peter went ahead and got a warm cup of coffee and a small sandwich. Peter ate slowly, he was a combination of tired physically and mentally. It had only been a few days, and yet the knowledge of another symbiote out there really bothered him.

Peter didn't even finish eating, he barely even got a few bites in his food. However he did down the coffee extremely quickly. A few minutes later, Peter is just sitting there, unsure of what to do next. Should he just get ready class or just go out there looking for the creature.

"Screw it, I can miss a day of class." Peter thought as he decided to go and find the alien. He can just catch up like he did back….home.

"No, just don't think about it, just keep your head focused on the task ahead."

/

The alien lifeform was dragging many corpses behind it. It had just finished its hunt and was dragging the bodies away for further consumption. Once it reaches its secret hiding spot, it begun feeding.

As it feasted upon it's dead prey, it was thinking of a way to get to the one that sent those machines after it. The soldiers constantly said the name Ironwood, this was no doubt the name of the one who commanded those machines. Now all that was left was to find this human and destroy him.

Of course the first course of action would be to destroy it's father. It's father, The Other, would not let them reach their host. No, they would get in the way like it did before.

So close, so very close did it achieve their goal, but The Other stop it from doing so at the last minute. If it wanted to succeed it would have to destroy them as well. Once both General Ironwood and The Other were destroyed, then finally it could be whole.

But first it must feed and get stronger too. The prey it had just finished hunting would not be enough, it need more. The forest would have to suffice, maybe it can wait for some unfortunate sole to pass by and consume them. Maybe if it was lucky, a Huntsmen would be enough to make them stronger. Those individuals did give the alien a huge boost in power once consumed.

Yes, more Huntsmen would do. Nothing will stop them, not even The Other.

/

Spider-Man was swinging across the city, usually he would speak with the symbiote, but the alien stayed back at Beacon. It needed to eat chocolate since it woke up much later then him, so it stayed behind and would feed on its meal of chocolate and wait for Spider-Man in the vents back at the Academy.

The vigilante swung from building to building. He would occasionally stop some crime, but due to how bothered he was, he would just quickly knock out the criminals and leave. He even forgot to get some pics for his quota at VNN most of the time.

Spider-Man would continue this behavior for a majority of the day, he would occasionally get a few calls from his friends on his scroll that Glynda gave him.

"Crapbaskets, should have known they would be wondering where I am. I'll just send a message that I had something personal to do today." Spider-man thought as he replied.

However, he would get a text from Yang saying, "Is this personal matter Spider-Man related? You know you can talk to me and Blake about it."

"Oh right, they both know. Crap what do I say? I'll just say I'm looking into the whereabouts of Rome at the moment." Spider-Man texted her back.

A few moments later Yang would respond, "You could have waited after school you know. Ice queen isn't happy you skipped today. But seriously, be careful dude, remember what we told you about the mechs."

Spider-Man then recalled what the two told him earlier, apparently the White Fang now had Paladins designed to take him down. Covering both his and the symbiote's weakness.

"Wait, that's it! If I can get a hold of one of those things then maybe I can use it to deal my unwanted alien problem. But how to do so….." Spider-Man pondered.

Unfortunately, he had no leads on where those things could be kept. As far as he knew, the White Fang had relocated somewhere else. So that option was now getting off the table.

"Maybe Ironwood could lend me one? Who am I kidding, he'll just deal with the problem himself. Can I even trust the guy? Great back to square one…." Spider-Man grumbles.

He then got another text asking if he was there, so he responded by saying he would be careful and that he'll call for help if he needs it.

"I'll just take a break from looking for that alien and hunt down Roman. Then I'll head back for the day. Maybe some more crime fighting will make me feel better." Spider-man thought as he continued on swinging.

A few hours later, Spider-Man arrives at another warehouse, with a few White Fang goons loading up a van full of dust, weapons and other supplies.

"Of course, it's always a warehouse. Why can't I find these guys someplace else?" Spider-Man grumbles.

Spider-Man then lands on top the van and says, "Hey there, I'm going to assume that you all won't turn yourselves in?"

The goons just respond by taking out their own weapons and lunged towards the arachnid.

"Get him!"

"Of course." Spider said under his breath as he shoots a web-line at one of the goons. The web hits the WF goon in the face, and Spider-Man pulls himself forward, punching the guy in the face, knocking him out.

His spider-sense alerts him of incoming fire and he jumps up in the air to dodge. The criminal gang continued to fire as Spider-Man stayed airborne. Looking around, Spider-Man spots one of the goons farther away from the rest of the criminals.

"Bingo." Spider-Man said as he shot two web-lines, each landing on one side of the faunus, confusing her. He then pulls himself forward with such speed and lands a double kick on the goons chest. This sent the poor criminal crashing into a parked truck knocking both it and her down.

Spider-Man then looked to see the rest of the goons charge at him. Ready to face him head on.

"Come on guys, I'm taking you all out like flies, just turn yourselves in already!" Spider-man quipped.

But they didn't listen as he began to dodge multiple strikes from all of them. Spider-Man sighs, in a blink of an eye, he punches the goons in the gut or knees them. He then shot a web at one of them, making a cocoon of webbing around the criminal, and began swinging them around.

This resulted in Spider-Man knocking everyone and everything back. With how much strength he was using in this swing, he ended up knocking them out all. Once he was done, he threw the cocoon at a nearby wall, sticking the goon to it.

Approaching the still conscious faunus, Spider-Man then asked, "Alright, I want to know where Roman is now."

"I ain't telling you jack traitor! We finally have a way to get rid of you! So either you join us or die by the White Fang's claw!" the faunus yelled.

"I am losing my patience right now. You really think Roman cares about you guys? Please he is just using you all." Spider-Man retorts.

"That human is just a means to and end! Once we are done with him Adam will get rid of him, and he will get rid of you!" The Faunus laughed.

Losing his cool, Spider-Man just head-butts the goon in the face, knocking the guy out, a long with a few of his teeth. Spider-Man then swung away, angry that he didn't get anything on either the red symbiote or Roman.

"Great, I just wasted more time. Things are finally feeling just like back home….. sometimes I wish I never got bit by that stupid spider. Maybe I could have lived a normal life and be back home with my family." Spider-Man thought.

Truth is, he still didn't feel like he belonged here. He wished he was having a nightmare and was back home. But no, this was real. Spider-Man pushes his thoughts to the side, he would make his way back to Beacon soon once he was done looking for more clues to Romans whereabouts.

As he swung away, Spider-Man began to wonder, "I wonder what the Symbiote is doing right now?"

/

Meanwhile, the symbiote was crawling through the vents, looking at what the students of Beacon were doing that day.

It had finished feeding a while back and decided to observe the behavior of the students throughout their day. Everything seemed the same, students listening to their professors, bullies tormenting their fellow peers, and students struggling with their homework.

Everything the students of this planet did was similar those on Earth, although these kids were training to be warriors. The symbiote was intrigued that the people of this world actually trained children to become future warriors, but at the same time it also felt disgusted by this.

The symbiote had changed ever since it arrived on this planet, back on Earth it was more aggressive, fueled by revenge and anger. But after spending so much time inside the mind of Peter Parker, it had now lost most of those aggressive traits. While it's past self would consider schools like this as either impressive or a waste of time, it's current self views it as a unfortunate necessity and sad reality.

These children shouldn't have to fight, but unfortunately they do. The innocent needed to be protected, and despite so manner people being trained to deal with the Grimm, some only do so for selfish reasons.

These feelings were complicated for the symbiote, mostly because of the irony that it's first host was out there being a hero, when he should be living his life. And especially since it was the evil it's host had fought back on Earth.

The symbiote was conflicted now, part of it didn't regret causing that pain, but the other part did. Maybe it was the traits it inherited from Eddie Brock that didn't regret it, or maybe it was its past self. It didn't know.

All it knew was that the parts that made it feel empathy and other similar emotions came from Peter. Right now, it wished it could help heal its host, but it cannot heal mental scars.

Maybe it can help by destroying its offspring, maybe that could help it's first host see that they really just want to help. That's all it ever wants, to let Peter know it just wanted to help him.

The symbiote decided to see what the old man was doing. Ozpin gave off an odd feeling of power. It wondered just what the old man was truly capable of. When it arrives, the symbiote looks through the vent to see Ozpin doing some paperwork.

Just then, Ozpin looks towards the vent and asked, "And what can I do for you today?"

"Just curious on what you spend your time doing. Meaningless paperwork, you should spend more time teaching those kids." The Symbiote told the replied.

"As much as I would love to do so, I have matters to attend to. Especially since one of those matters involve the budget, you wouldn't want to go without your food source would you?" Ozpin explained.

"Fine, do what you must."

Ozpin took a moment to before asking, "Is there anything else you need?"

The symbiote took a bit to think, it then thought about something. "Is that room were the woman teaches her students sound proof?"

"Yes, they have to be as to make sure the noise doesn't disturb other classes." Ozpin answered, "Why do you ask?"

"I request a device that emits a high frequency noise. I need to overcome my weakness." The symbiote explain.

"Does it involve your offspring?"

"Yes, if I can overcome my weakness, then Parker can use the weakness on the red Klyntar to take it down." The symbiote began, "I need to make sure Parker doesn't get killed once we inevitably face it."

"I see, I'll bring what you request then." Ozpin replied.

"Thank you for your cooperation." The symbiote said as it was about to leave.

"What then?"

"Excuse me?"

"What will you do once your offspring is destroyed? Will you just move on?" Ozpin asked, curious about the aliens plans.

"Do what me and Parker did before, live out life like normal. As normal as it can get at least. To be frank, I am enjoying the peace that there is, so I would like to make sure it stays that way." The symbiote explained.

"Well then, I hope you keep yourself and young Parker out of trouble. He has the potential to be a great Huntsmen." Ozpin told the symbiote.

"No promises." The symbiote chuckles, "Besides, the boy is a hero, I know exactly how much potential he has. Now then, I'll start training myself when I can. See you another time old man." The symbiote said as it crawled down to the other parts of the school.

The symbiote continued to crawl through the vents, passing the time until Peter returned. As it crawled, it decided to check in on the friends it's host had made during his time at this school.

It first crawled to the vent connecting to team JNPR's dorm. Looking through the vent, it saw the four teens studying together. It saw Nora constantly talking as she sat next to Ren.

"That girl is…..very attached to that boy, there personalities do not match at all. But from the looks of it they seem that have an admiration for one another. Wonder which will make their first move?"

It then looked towards Jaune and Pyrrha, watching as the Spartan girl help the blonde with his studies.

The symbiote could sense the emotions of those two, it sensed the romantic interest that Pyrrha had for Jaune, something that the symbiote was confused by.

"For such a capable fighter, I find it odd why she would choose this boy. There are others that would be better then him. Then again this eukaryotic beings don't follow the same rules that most species follow." The symbiote thought to itself.

Looking towards Jaune, it sensed his emotions to be more conflicted. Jaune still seemed to have a thing for the Heiress, but at the same time he was now developing feelings for his partner.

"History really is repeating itself with Arc, only thing missing is a spider bite. Guess we'll see if he chooses to go for the red-head or the snowy witch.." The symbiote thought as it left.

It then crawled towards team RWBY's dorm to see what they were up to. Once at the vent in the dorm, it watched as Weiss was trying her best to tutor Ruby. But just like before, she was getting no where. Seems like Peter has some more tutoring to do when he gets back. Looking towards Blake, it sensed that she was unfocused. Seemingly distracted by something or someone.

"Hm, she is giving off similar emotions that Parker had during his time hunting Osborn. Then again Parker seemed to be going through the exact same thing hunting my offspring. When he returns I should get him to take a break." The symbiote thought to itself.

It them noticed Yang wasn't in the room, from what the symbiote could sense, she seemed to be in the bathroom. Most likely using it for obvious reasons.

"Why can't these species evolve to use all their food more efficiently? I don't need to excrete waste, then again I am the result of billions upon billions of years of evolution." The symbiote thought as it compared itself to humans and the faunus, even though in its point of view they are all the same.

The symbiote decided to wait in that vent for the rest of the day until Peter came back. Which would normally feel long for anyone else, but to a creature that has been alive longer than the planet has, time went by quickly.

One moment, it was watching the girls interact with one another, and now they were all asleep. And seconds later at midnight, Peter came in and went to sleep after quickly showering and changing into some sleepwear. Once Peter went to sleep, the symbiote stealthily approached it's host and re-bonded.

Once bonded, the symbiote looked through Peter's recent memories in Vale. And just as it expected, Peter was doing the same exact thing he did when finding the Goblin.

"If he keeps this up he will be way too out of shape to even fight. I need to get him to rest. But how do I convince him?" Venom thought, it knew that Peter wouldn't stop until it's offspring would be dealt with.

And using the time Peter was hunting the Green Goblin as an example wouldn't really work right now. How do you compare a crazy maniac to a monstrosity of an alien? No Peter wouldn't rest until the red Klyntar was destroyed. And if it was being honest, the symbiote wouldn't rest either. But if they are going to succeed then they need to be at their best.

"I need Parker to rest, maybe then we can come up with a good plan." Venom thought as it went to sleep.

/

Deep within the outskirts of the forest, the crimson symbiote was traversing away from the city. It had already ravaged a majority of the nearby villages and any remaining ones were being guarded by Atlas military, waiting for it to strike.

No, this won't do, it needed to destroy them if it wanted to feed. However, the Knights were once again upgraded, made much more durable so they can resist a huge amount of damage from their attacks.

And idea came to mind, if it could make them hit each other, then the machines will end up destroying themselves, leaving the people open for consumption.

Coming up with a plan, the alien arrived at a village, very far from Vale. The village was small, mostly unnoticeable. There was only one bullhead stationed there. From the looks of it, a small crew of five soldiers were patrolling the village. Each soldier had at least three Atlesian Knights following behind.

Pathetic, did these lower life forms really think those machines will stop them permanently? No, the previous encounter was just a fluke, pure luck.

Their weakness won't hold it down forever.

Of course, the alien still had to be cautious, the plan was simple.

Swoop in and attach itself to one of the machines, which will result in said machines to attack themselves in an attempt to destroy the creature. Once the machines were dealt with, the alien will kill and eat the soldiers, leaving the town defenseless.

Now then, let the hunt begin.

The crimson symbiote rushed towards the nearest Knight, and wrapped itself to it. Just like it predicted, the other Knight's shot a furry of fire and explosives at the creature. It then leaps off of the Knight, and all those rounds end up hitting it instead, destroying the machine.

That was easy, now to do the same to the others. At the same time, the soldier that had the Knights following them immediately raised his weapon on began to fire in a panic.

"Creature spotted! Creature spotted!" the soldier spoke into a device as he was firing. But before he could rely were he was, the alien shot a spike towards the man's head, killing him.

Returning to it's destruction it wrapped itself around another Knight and waited till the last Knight fired upon it as well. Once the second one was destroyed, it immediately lunged towards the third one and ripped it to pieces, of course it took a bit too long, long enough for another two soldiers with six more Knights to arrive once it finished destroying it.

It then repeats this method of attacking, letting the soldiers panic as they called for the other two soldiers to come with their own Knights to attack. As the symbiote had all the Knights destroyed, it lunged towards one soldier, ripping him into pieces.

As it did this the other soldier saw the last of the reinforcements as shouts, "Its using the Knights to destroy each other! Keep your distance and have them stay in the air!" he shouts before having his torso separated from his legs.

Well this ruined its plan, just like the soldier instructed, the last two had their Knights fly into the air and shoot from above. The soldiers then stayed as far away, out of the line of fire.

As the crimson symbiote was hot multiple times it screeched in anger.

"SCREEEEEEEEE!"

No, it won't let those machines win again. It will not lose, it will not retreat. It then jumped as high as it could in the air, and shout out a tendril at one of the knights.

Fortunately for it, and unfortunately for the soldiers, it was able to latch onto one of the Knights. The other five knights stopped firing and surrounded the alien. Each one pulled out flamethrowers, preparing to cover the symbiote in hellfire.

At the last second, the crimson symbiote jumped up higher into the as the flames hit the Knight, destroying it. As it was in the air, it shot out multiple tendrils at the Knights, bringing them all in into a pile. As it began to fall, it brought them all into a pile, and surrounded the machines, forming a large red ball hitting the ground in an explosive manner.

The two soldiers then ran towards the newly made crater, looking in, all they saw was the Knights broken into multiple pieces, a fire covering the metal scraps.

"Holy crap we did it! We won!"

"Excellent, let's report back to-"

But before he could finish that sentence, the ground beneath him broke as a large red head came up and swallowed him whole. The crimson symbiote then reformed back into its regular form and looked right at the remaining soldier.

"No! Eat dust you demon!" the soldier screamed, unloading his entire weapon on it.

While the shots do hit, it mostly annoyed the creature. The alien hissed, not really hurt from the dust rounds. The soldier just starred at it, fear creeping into his mind.

"Fu-"

And then his head was bitten off, ending his insignificant life. After it ate the man, the crimson symbiote heard the screams of the people, noticing his presence. Looks like some will try to run, others will try to fight. It doesn't matter, the results will be the same.

And thus, another village fell that night. And at the same time, the alien was slowly becoming resistant to its weakness. It will take time, but it will overcome it. And then those machines won't stand a chance.

"Sir, we lost contact with some of our men south east of here." One of Ironwood's men spoke. "Recent footage displayed that the cause of this was that creature we have been trying to locate."

"I see…" Ironwood began, he was internally unsettled by this. It had been less a few days and already that alien had somehow managed to get out of Vale and attacked another village where he had some of his soldiers stationed there.

"What do you want me to do sir?"

"Send another team to salvage the whatever remains they can find, be it the Knights and our soldiers. And review the footage so we can see analyze and figure out a counter to the monster."

"Yes sir." The man replied as he went to do what he was instructed.

Ironwood cursed internally, just as he got close to destroying that alien, it got stronger. And it was likely that the creature had also gotten more intelligent. To be fair he was warned by the other alien, but he didn't trust a single word that came out of it's mouth.

"Damn it all, I already have other things to worry about. Now there are goddamn aliens eating people." Ironwood growled. He would not let that thing get away. "I need the Knights to be stronger."

Once Ironwood gets that footage, he will find anything that could lead to that creatures destruction. He couldn't fathom just how strong one of these things were. And that was only one, what would happen if both that creature and the other one were to team up.

Pure chaos and destruction.

No, he had to find a way to destroy these things. If she didn't create these monsters, then it would be a matter of time before she found out about them. That then led to another thought, of these things, and by extension Parker, did come from another universe, what could have created them?

"If there is one thing I can agree with Ozpin, these things aren't natural." The general thought to himself. What kind of monster would create such things?

Oh if he only knew the truth.

"Questions for later, right now, I need to prepare for a frontal assault." As Ironwood went to see if a team was sent to scout the place the creature was last spotted, he got a notification on his scroll.

The notification was another news story on Spider-Man, there were very little photos, but it was the same as ones before. Spider-Man coming in to save the day.

Ironwood scoffed, this boy is the reason these things are here. Whether it was an accident or not. It was his fault Remnant had to deal with this extraterrestrial threat. Who's to say he isn't secretly plotting with these aliens? He could just be pretending.

Ironwood would keep an extra eye on this boy. Right now Ozpin has the boy under his protection. He believes Ozpin is a fool for having the boy attend his school. Of course there wasn't anything he could do. But what he could do was prepare, and wait for the menace to give him an opportunity to deal with him once and for all.

But by the off chance that Peter was innocent, then he'll just free the boy from the aliens control and see if he can use him as a future soldier. If he can, he will get a blood sample to see what he is.

Back in the village, the red alien was mowing down a huge amount of Grimm that had come, sensing the negativity caused by the lifeform's chaos.

As it was tearing every single grimm to shreds, in the distance, small orb shaped Grimm with tentacles was observing in the distance. The red domed Grimm watched as the crimson symbiote destroyed everything in its path.

It watched as the alien shot out multiple tendrils from its back, and sent them to impale and wrap around everything. No Grimm could escape this creatures bloodlust. Some Grimm tried to run, but something compelled them to attack. But before these runaways could do anything, they took fell.

Red spikes being sent flying threw the air in dozens. The last of the grimm had all been filled with holes, and die as a result. With the last of the Grimm defeated, the red Symbiote let out a victorious screech.

"RAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEE!"

But just as it finished screeching, it noticed the red domed Grimm watching it. In a matter of seconds the alien had dashed forward and bite into the Grimm, destroying it.

The crimson symbiote then screeches once more, before vanishing deeper into the forest.

/

In the darkest part of the planet, where the Grimm rained supreme, was a large castle. And inside the castle was a pale skinned women with marks on her skin.

With red eyes, she looked through another red domed Grimm and had witnessed everything the alien had done. Never had she seen such a creature, this thing could not be from here. She knew of everything that there was to know about Remnant, but she certainly had no idea on what this thing was.
