I haven’t seen a YHaY story in a while, can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve

You couldn't make it more than a handful of paragraphs before bungling your spelling so bad I'm not sure what you were saying. You need to edit this my freind.

What does YHaY mean?

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out, it is Your Human and You, which I never read the original for.

I thought in most tarot card readings there are 4 cards reviled and their positions of being either right side up or up side down is also taken into the reading. I was reminded on how it’s done having Misty read V’s fortune.(Cyberpunk 2077)

10622173
Yes, but there also are 3 card readings too so I just went with that. And I haven’t played Cyberpunk yet, so can’t wait to see that.

''Hmmph. Kill is. . .overrated to me. Just simple self-defense, plus I like Jerry. He's not a massive dick, unlike you.''

Yay, Jerry

''If exploding the bodies of my colleagues from the inside out is considered defense, I shudder to think what applies as a fair fight.''

Who said that?

''You may try, but we have found a way to quell your rage; for if you do not, then she. . .will die by your hand.''

''What? You. . .no. You didn't. You didn't. HOW COULD YOU TURN HER INTO A FREAK?!'' the cell rumbled and shook as he growled, using his massive claws to swipe at the plexiglass, to no avail. Every single swipe resulted in the force almost negating the momentum entirely. He punched, again and again, if he could make the smallest crack then he could make something happen.

Who?

Ah, social gatherings. How I love and hate them. It was always good to help and make new friends and build connections, but also a bit unfavorable as sometimes people can be a drain for even the simplest of things. The turnout rate every always seemed to increase. All of the stalls were packed to the brim with people, wearing different costumes from tv, movies, game, and anime.

Are you describing a social gathering or a convention?

Against the better wishes of my friend, Cecil, I chose to attend the festivities as the Venom Symbiote. He always was given the short end of the stick in the comic books, and while most consider him a villain, I see him more as misunderstood.

How?

Granted those who he killed originally did not help his case, different iterations of him however did.

How did it help his case?

My friend, Cecil however chose to go as Hawkeye from Marvel's Avengers. And it fit the overall look of his build. He chose to play the bit as close as he could all the way to the thin, purple shade down to the boots. He even had an actual bow and arrows. If security actually stopped and questioned us, I feel we would be kicked out. Ever since I could remember, this guy was the man with the plan; every time we got into any kind of trouble, he would always have some rhyme or reason to get us off scot-free.

I think it’s called bribing, right?

If not for him, I would more than likely not be here, at least not in one piece.

What kind of trouble do they get into?

''So how long you thinking we should pursue the booths? You know we can't be here for long,'' Cecil commented to me as he draped his arm over his neck. That was true. This year we couldn't stay long because of the bus routes conflicting with our schedules for tomorrow. Ugh, I hate working sometimes. Why can't Monday just not exist?

Wait, if Monday’s didn’t exist, wouldn’t he just have to work on another day?

''Oh, what do you know? You're Toad,'' I commented, making him deflate.

Why?

''When you wake, you shall have the power of what you wear, and that will be all the better for them,'' I slowly closed my eyes, and all feeling soon disappeared.

Imagine that

''Very well, Jerry. Very well. After our scouts were able to subdue the subject as well as dispose of the infected one, we managed to secure a new subject; this one certainly has more kick to it than the others. Somehow it managed to bond to subject A and defend the filly from the infected one. The compound appears unstable, and there have been some side effects from the reports.'' Dr. M commented.

What does all that mean?

''Not that we could witness in the field right away. But we have been noted of unbridled aggression at the point of separation.'' Dr. M scoffed. ''Note this for the logs; subject denomination A; SCP-299 and denomination B; SCP-299 A. Place them both in level 6 holding until further notice.''

Who’s A and who’s B?

''To The Collective. And may Celestia bless us with success.'' Dr. M said a prayer and continued. ''For the good of Equestria.''

That’s cap.

''If exploding the bodies of my colleagues from the inside out is considered defense, I shudder to think what applies as a fair fight.''

Dr. M.

''You may try, but we have found a way to quell your rage; for if you do not, then she. . .will die by your hand.''

Dr. M.

''What? You. . .no. You didn't. You didn't. HOW COULD YOU TURN HER INTO A FREAK?!'' the cell rumbled and shook as he growled, using his massive claws to swipe at the plexiglass, to no avail. Every single swipe resulted in the force almost negating the momentum entirely. He punched, again and again, if he could make the smallest crack then he could make something happen.

VIncent, who will soon be known as Venom.

Ah, social gatherings. How I love and hate them. It was always good to help and make new friends and build connections, but also a bit unfavorable as sometimes people can be a drain for even the simplest of things. The turnout rate every always seemed to increase. All of the stalls were packed to the brim with people, wearing different costumes from tv, movies, game, and anime.

A bit of both. A convention is a convention, but it ultimately is just a social gathering of people over their love of games, anime, and whatever else is there.

Against the better wishes of my friend, Cecil, I chose to attend the festivities as the Venom Symbiote. He always was given the short end of the stick in the comic books, and while most consider him a villain, I see him more as misunderstood.

Mostly referencing the recent movie. Some people are divided on it, but I am more on the side of liking it, that's all.

If not for him, I would more than likely not be here, at least not in one piece.

Let's just say if not for Cecil, Vincent would probably be in jail, or probably the basement of a very, very upset drug dealer in pieces. Friends, am I right? Though it was Cecil's fault entirely.

''Very well, Jerry. Very well. After our scouts were able to subdue the subject as well as dispose of the infected one, we managed to secure a new subject; this one certainly has more kick to it than the others. Somehow it managed to bond to subject A and defend the filly from the infected one. The compound appears unstable, and there have been some side effects from the reports.'' Dr. M commented.

Vincent bonded to Eddie temporarily without being aware of it after Eddie was saving a filly from being infected. From what? it'll come in later chapters.

''Not that we could witness in the field right away. But we have been noted of unbridled aggression at the point of separation.'' Dr. M scoffed. ''Note this for the logs; subject denomination A; SCP-299 and denomination B; SCP-299 A. Place them both in level 6 holding until further notice.''

Subject A: Vincent/Venom. Subject B: Eddie Brock, but that's not told until a little bit later.

''P-Please. . .'' a timid voice begged, the cracking of their voice making the individual holding the torture weapon stop for a moment. Did they dare to ask to stop? To stop the work of the world; of the greater good, as well as their own absolution? ''Spare me.~''

That’s B.S.

Sacrilege. Complete and utter sacrileige.

What does that mean?

“Liesh!” SCP-99 A spat, cowering in fear. Sigh. Dr.M’a tactics were sometimes too good. He wouldn’t be so easily swayed. But Jerry would not back so easily either.

What did he say?

“I think you’re going to need a smaller scalpel there, Dr.” a female voice called to his right. Or was it behind him? “And you sure about testing it so soon without further observation?”

“Nonsense!” Vincent recognizes that voice from earlier, it was that doctor figure, only he sounded very excited. And that scared Vincent a little. What in the world was going on? “The future waits for none, my dear Starlight. It is only a small enough sample to test whether it can bond like it did prior with SCP-99 A.”

Oh great, starlight is working with him.

Was this before or after Vincent came to the world?

10638649
Pretty much just before. His mind was transferred into the mind of a Klyntar when the second chapter happens. How it got to Equestria will be explained later, as well.

And he also is not quite as conscious of what he’s doing right away or his powers. He will have to learn with the help of Eddie.

''Wind Wave!'' the Earth Pony shouted, reaching a hoof out to his colleague who lay limp with his own blood staining his white lab coat before reaching his own hooves, the smell making his nose scrunch in disgust. This thing had no favoritism, it just killed whatever was in front of it and whatever it considered being a threat.

Is that true or is it from his perspective?

But, another part spoke out; almost in a goading thought; one that told them to continue the carnage. Slowly, a thought began to form, the vivid imagery flashing through its mind, seeing bright colors and shapes of various people, thievery. . .abuse. Punch after punch, flashing red and blue lights, and pain. . .of a loved one.

Loved one?

''Dr. M, what are you doing?'' Jerry asked, looking back and forth at the footage and his superior. Was he okay with this. . .thing and Eddie to go about killing ponies? Would that be wise? And how far would the hole of murder and confusion go? ''Shouldn't we be mobilizing the Artorious units? They may be able to stop Eddie,'' Jerry said in a panicked tone, looking back at Dr. M with his brow furrowed.

Wait, if that’s Eddie, then how did Vincent get venom?

''What did you just say?'' Jerry realized his mistake in what he said. Dr. M was certainly a stickler for referring to all of his subjects by his denomination.

What’s the big deal? Tell the doc to f*ck off.

''Worry not, my friend. The only I say this is because if you had noticed SCP-99's movements, you would take note of the specimen being sluggish; it is only a matter of time before it will need to rest and replenish itself, as well SCP-99 A-'' Dr. M made a mental note to create a dietary spreadsheet for both of the specimens moving forward.

I’m surprised jerry didn’t correct him when he called him a friend.

'''Commence amendment to specimens SCP-99 and SCP-99-A. From this moment on, until further notice or if any variables change; the new denomination shall be known as SCP-299.''

So will SCP-299 be Eddie and the symbiote combined?

''You're young. I don't expect or care if you do understand. But I will at least tell you just for the record; after so long. . .you lose the ability to care. You chose this line of work, so I expect you to act like it,'' Dr. M poked Jerry in the chest roughly, causing him to drop the clipboard on the floor. ''If anytime, you feel like this was the wrong choice of career, then you should hope for SCP-299 to come back and finish what it started,'' Dr. M knew he had caught the young one in his own trap.

At that moment I would have slugged him in the face.

SCP-299 would return, but it would be the worst experience for him. While others writhed in their respective vices, SCP-299 would come to play the fool and distort the design, as he possessed hope for. The proverb had come to him, once before; fight fire with fire.

What does that mean?

Abomination with abomination.

What are they planning on doing?

''Wind Wave!'' the Earth Pony shouted, reaching a hoof out to his colleague who lay limp with his own blood staining his white lab coat before reaching his own hooves, the smell making his nose scrunch in disgust.

HIs perspective.

And how far would the hole of murder and confusion go? ''Shouldn't we be mobilizing the Artorious units? They may be able to stop Eddie,'' Jerry said in a panicked tone, looking back at Dr. M with his brow furrowed.

Vincent is Venom. He's slowly becoming what you know as Venom, but with some of his original personality still intact. He will have to learn pretty much from scratch what the Klyntars can do, so it'll be a fun experience for him and Eddie.

''What did you just say?'' Jerry realized his mistake in what he said. Dr. M was certainly a stickler for referring to all of his subjects by his denomination.

Partial character development. As you can probably tell from the first couple of chapters, Jerry is a bit conflicted in what he's doing and he slowly starts to want to change that, and his passive attitude.

'''Commence amendment to specimens SCP-99 and SCP-99-A. From this moment on, until further notice or if any variables change; the new denomination shall be known as SCP-299.''

Exactly, until otherwise noted, Dr. M refers to both of them as SCP-299.

''You're young. I don't expect or care if you do understand. But I will at least tell you just for the record; after so long. . .you lose the ability to care. You chose this line of work, so I expect you to act like it,'' Dr. M poked Jerry in the chest roughly, causing him to drop the clipboard on the floor.

You'll have to wait and see, they won't come back willingly, and the first chapter is a flashback of about 6 months since Vincent and Eddie bonded and escaped, so the good Dr. M will be putting his best hoof forward to gather any and all data while capturing them and using that information to break them down and mold them into what he wants.

10667304
So both Eddie and Vincent are venom?

Wait, the first chapter was a flashback?

And what did the dec mean when he said that he would return?

And, where is starlight?

10667433
Yes, together they are Venom, but Vincent renames himself Venom as well, in order to forget his past.

They are going to ‘return’ by means of capture, and Starlight was otherwise engaged in this chapter.

10667468
So there are two symbiotes?

Engaged?

10667835
Starlight was busy.

Vincent becomes a Klyntar after he gets sent to Equestria. Vincent will choose a new name because he wants to forget what little of his last he was able to remember; that name is Venom.

And as if there are multiple symbiotes? You’ll just have to wait and see.

10667891
So Vincent is a klyntar while Eddie is just a human he bonded to?

And, why doesn’t he want to remember?

10668256
Yes, he is, and they will both learn to coexist with one another, and you’ll just have to wait and see why he doesn’t want to remember.

10668270
Then, how were they able to tie him up?

10671666
He had no real sense of self when he first came to Equestria, he didn’t even know that he wasn’t human anymore, they literally found him in The Everfree forest. As for Eddie, this is set in an alternate version the Your Human and You-verse by MadmaxTheBlack, so one part of that is that most of the humans are unable to speak English or will have a very difficult time learning and adjusting with the constant abuse.

Eddie was basically pulled from his world around the same way that Duncan was, which all of this will be explained later on in the story.

10671682
Wait, so it was Eddie that was strapped down?

10672273
Eddie was not restrained because Dr. M knew he would not try to fight back, if that’s what you’re asking. Vincent was put into a containment tube and brought to the lab. More of this stuff will be told as the chapters come out, a bit of patience, friend.

10672362
Where do you see that at? May be a typo on my end.

10672370
In one of your reply’s.

10672383
Ah I see it. My bad. That’s another character in another one of my stories. It’s Vincent, not Duncan.

10672438
You mentioned them being pulled in the same way, where they also pulled in at the same time?

10672441
No, Eddie came a bit before Vincent did.

Did venom save the child

10696409
No, he killed her; actually gonna be described a bit more in the next chapter, but he basically ate her brains, pretty gruesome when you read it.

10696411
On he doesn’t care about humans then if he killed blind children

10696434
He’s still in the beginning stages of understanding what exactly he was before becoming a Klyntar. That shock of being an entirely new species with a whole different set of abilities that he has to learn, as well as learn to co-exist with Eddie will be a challenge; he’s not thinking about it now, but he will eventually grow to regret the earliest deeds he’s committed in Equestria.

'''Fanout; non-lethal techniques. That means you, Garble.''

What kind of techniques do they have?

Garble stared her down, noticing her cold and calculating stare back that wanted, rather begged him to do something so she could have the excuse to put him down. She would do all too quickly, and none would be the wiser until the last second. He was determined to not lose this battle of wits; it would be disrespectful to him as a dragon to accept defeat this easily, and from a namby-pamby pony, no less.

Is he talking to maud?

''Gladly. Big Mac?'' Trixie looked to Big Macintosh, who merely huffed a small breath out, the wheat head stick in his mouth managing not to fall out as he looked at his two employees. Even into his old age, Big Mac still stood as a giant to most, only rivaled by Bulk Biceps, but he was no longer of the living, making Big Mac the new titan among pony folk.

What happened to him?

The village was nearly decimated, no doubt for a Pegasus overhead strike, leaving the majority of the few defenses left completely inoperable, as well catching some unsuspecting Humans by surprise by not giving them even an inch to breath. From the reports, there would be a few choice products here for them to pick out.

Humans are there?

It was always a game of cat and mouse with Humans; most were either took weak to fight back or so headstrong to come charging with all abandon.

Are they at war with humans?

Garble and Trixie were certainly a godsend. They each looked out for each other, even when times were at their utter worst, they still managed to come out on top. He had been doing this too long by himself even since they took her from him, took his joy and reason for living, now he only continued on to honor her memory. . .and to get revenge, one Human at a time.

Is he talking about sugar belle?

Another clap of thunder and lighting followed, the sound long doing little to startle the three, only causing them to focus even more as times like this-

So it didn’t scare or distract them?

The girl writhed and screamed as she fought to turn over, spitting out the mud that got in her nose and mouth, breathing heavily as she missed her chance to kill. To be free. To. . .do something.

To be free? Are they slaves?

Between the flashes of lighting, a distant shape could be seen, but only just. It appeared as black as night, with the only identifier being two white blotches. The shape, definitely Human in stature ran forward wildly, flailing its arms every which way as it let out a screech that sounded over weather, causing everyone’s ears to curl backwards.

Uh oh. Is he still in control?

Garble groaned and opened his maw, breathing a stream of fire. The rain hissed against it, creating steams as the rest instantly irritated the creature, causing him to drop the dragon as it screeched and hollered. Garble fell to the ground, his chest aching and his head down as pain flooded his senses.

Fire can hurt him?

“Rah!” Big Mac continued his assault, the creature taking exaggerated jumps and ducking to avoid Big Mac’s hooves until he caught one at the end of him overextending, the pause of anger replaced by genuine fear.

Why would he be dodging?

This abomination was relentless, fast, and attacked far better than the Humans although the style was far more primal. It was a dance of chaos, in a way.

He means his fighting style?

Big Mac could only growl and shout at him and his teammates being hurt, the job going south because of the creature, and the internal turmoil that brewed in him.

Job?

Until there was silence.

Did he pass out?

10696443
Yea im not sure about it when Eddie find out that venom killed humans and children he probably trying to get Reed off him or won’t ask him for help

10696467
This is ‘Your Human and You’ universe, I believe humans are kept as slaves by ponies and are believed to be mostly unintelligent.

The group only consists of Big Mac, Garble, and Trixie. Trixie seems to be very powerful and scary in this universe.

Not currently sure about Big Mac’s relationship with humans, except for hating all because of the actions of one.

10697291
If they are unintelligent, then how are they able to put up a fight?

10697296
See the word ‘believed’. They are not unintelligent, but Ponies and others are racist assholes that think they are because of being human. Back when black people were kept as slaves they were though to be less than others, so how could they be free now? The same reason, they were not less. People keeping them as slaves just thought they were at the time.

10697297
Ohh. Now I get it.

Something held a grip on him; not restricting, but definitely holding on. It made him walk, and he didn’t know where he was going. He slowly began to fight, the feeling resembling thick, cold jelly. Eddie certainly felt more resistance than just the material, though he powered through it and managed to move his feet a few inches.

What’s the difference?

One last push of power proved to be the most difficult, and almost impossible. Eddie almost gave up, but falling over a stump afforded him the opportunity he needed to gain some better control. Slowly, he could see light, or the lack there of as Eddie’s eyes observed the gloom and rain of a clearing with thick vegetation. It felt strange, like this mass that surrounded him was also inside of his body.

What just happened?

SQUISH! SQUISH! SQUISH!

What is that?

Raising a hand in front of him, he gasped at the long, pristine white claws that jutted from his ‘hand’. Just with the rest of the organism, it felt alive. The rise in his breathing became muffled as the mass surrounded him again, the tendrils latching onto to just above and below his eyelids.

White? I thought they were black.

“Dr. M, why are we here? Shouldn’t we be using the survey equipment to see if we can obtain any traces that SCP-299 may have left behind?” Jerry asked, frowning and grimacing a bit at the subjects that had their genes spliced, mechanical or mental augmentation, or just plain out evisceration. He hated coming down to The Vault.

Are we gonna se some of them?

“Science is the one thing in this world, dear Jerry, that is only as difficult as material and information is readily available to come by. This-“ Dr. M draped a hoof around Jerry’s back as they stopped for a moment to let the information sink in. “-I was wholy unprepared for what SCP-299 did for escape, that was admittedly an error. . .on your part.”

“What?!” Jerry asked, a raised hoof quieting him.

We would have to fight.

''Be that as it may Vincent, that ass of hers is diabolical, and as a hero and member of The Avengers, it is my duty to investigate that booty,'' Cecil jogged after the girls. ''Call me before you get ready to leave!''

You sure he ain't Deadpool cause I'm sure that's something Wade would say
