The Symbiote Attack!!!

18 years ago

The barnyard house on Country Road was a fine looking house; made to look like a farm. The garage was a stable, the backyard was home to the animals; the ones owned by the people who lived on this farm.

The house was owned by a lovely couple, Bright Mac and Pear Butter; the two of them had been married for over ten years now, and they had something to show for it.

As the married couple came down the stairs, they looked at their three beautiful children playing around the room. Big Macintosh, their oldest child and only son; named after his father, but everyone just calls him Big Mac. Applejack, their oldest daughter; inherited her country accent from her mother.

And finally, in the arms of her grandmother; Granny Smith, Bright Mac’s mother, was little baby Applebloom.

“How’s my sonny-boy doing tonight?” Granny asked her son.

To which he replied, “Couldn’t be better, Ma.”

Bright Mac then walked over to the coat hanger, where he found his lucky cowboy hat; he took that hat everywhere with him, he’s had since he was old enough for it to fit. When he put it on his head, his wife came up behind him and hugged him.

“You ready, darling?” Pear Butter asked.

To which he replied, “Yep, I just need to tell the kids something.” He sat in his favourite armchair, and said to his kids, “Big Mac, Applejack; come here a sec would you.”

Applejack replied, “Yes, Pa.”

“Eeyu.”

When his son and daughter sat on the couch in front of him, Bright said what he wanted to say, “Now, your Ma and I are going out for a night on the town, which means your Granny Smith is going to be looking after you and your little sister. I want you to behave for her, and do as you’re told.”

Both the children nodded at his statement, he said to them, “Good, because what do I always say?”

Applejack and Big Mac said in unison, “The most important thing in the world is family.”

The father then opened his arms, inviting them into a loving hug; he said to them, “That’s right; family. You have a wonderful family, don’t ever forget that.”

Granny Smith put Applebloom in her cot and then said, “Alright; if you two don’t go now, you may never leave. I’ve got this.”

The two kids then hugged their mother, she said to them, “I love ma babies, so much.”

When the hug ended, the two parents said goodbye to their baby in the cot; before waving goodbye to their other kids. After that, they put their coats on and went out for their night on the town.

A few hours later; the couple had enjoyed a nice dinner, gone dancing at a night club and now were just walking down the street. They were trying to find a coffee or ice cream shop; however, their walk took them down an alleyway.

As they entered the opening, some standing on the side of the street watched them enter; thinking they were easy prey, he followed them.

Pear Butter stayed close to her husband, the look of this place was one that she didn’t like. But this seemed better, they could see the other end of the alley, they were almost out; when…

“Hey!” the couple turned around, and saw the man who had been following them.

Bright Mac asked, “Can we help you, sir?”

“Wallets and jewellery.” He demanded, pulling a revolver gun out of his pocket. “Now!”

Now Pear Butter was truly frightened, and she had every right to be; Bright Mac took his wallet out of his pocket and handed it to the mugger. But then something caught his eye; Pear Butter had a necklace around her neck, a gold chain with a little gold heart hanging in the centre, Bright Mac’s first wedding anniversary present to her.

The mugger said, “Come on, “I said jewellery to.” He pointed his gun at Pear Butter, which made Bright Mac mad; he wasn’t just going to let this guy get away with this.

Not even thinking, Bright Mac grabbed the gun; but the crook wouldn’t let go of it. The two of them struggled over it, until the barrel was pointed at Bright Mac’s chest; when he knocked into the mugger, he accidently pulled the trigger.

The sound of a gunshot could be heard, and then all was quiet; Bright Mac fell to the ground, the air escaping his lungs. Pear Butter looked down at her husband, and then back at the mugger; he couldn’t believe this had happened, he’d never shot someone before.

Knowing what he had to do, he pointed the gun at Pear Butter again; he muttered, “No witnesses.” Without hesitation, he shot her down. She fell right beside her husband as the mugger ran away; the quietly breathed heavily, right until….

…all was quiet.

Later that night, someone was ringing doorbell at the farm house; Granny Smith was putting her night gown on as she walked to the door. She was muttering to herself, “What’s the big idea, don’t they know that children and old folks are trying to sleep here.” But when she opened the front door, about to give out to whoever it was; she was greeted by two police officers.

“Good evening, Miss Smith.” The first officer said. “I’m afraid we have some bad news.” The second officer took something out of his back and handed it to Granny Smith; it was Bright Mac’s lucky hat. “It’s about your son and daughter-in-law.”

Granny Smith took the hat off the officer, she began to cry; this could only mean one thing.

Little did everyone know, but sitting at the top of the stairs; was little Applejack, she’d heard everything. She then concluded one thing, her parents, weren’t coming home.

17 years later

Canterlot High was still surrounded by police and hazardous waste removers; the school was still cover and infected with giant black webs.

Two people in hazmat-suits were just entering the gym; the first guy said, “This was apparently where the source of all this was; some creature that call itself, ‘Venom’.”

It had only been two hours since the event with Spiderman fighting Venom in the gym of Canterlot High; the day that Venom and his host were destroyed by the bomb Twilight Sparkle had built. The bomb was only meant to destroy the symbiote, not the host; but it wasn’t ready in time, Spiderman had to use it anyway.

The second guy in a hazmat-suit walked over to what looked like a clear patch, not black slime on this small patch of floor; but instead, was a large scorch mark. This was the exact spot where Venom was destroyed, the bomb left nothing; or so they thought.

“We were told that fire can burn this stuff away; so should we just get started with the flame-thrower or…” before he could finish, the other guy silenced him when he noticed something where the scorch mark was.

The guy said, “Hand me a test-tube.” The one holding the flame-thrower reached into his bag and pulled out a test-tube, he handed it to his friend; who got down on his knees to get a better look at something.

It wasn’t possible, but there was a small piece of the Venom symbiote, trying to crawl away; the guy caught it in the tube and put a cork in.

“We need to get this back to the lab, this could be the breakthrough we’ve been looking for; I mean we already have permission from the police to take that other creature to our facility.” The two of them left to go to their vehicles, the police had loaded the ‘creature’ onto the truck; they were returning to the company they worked for, the Life Foundation.

Present Day

The Life Foundation was one of Roxxon’s other companies; so while Roxxon worked with robotics, this company would work with biological projects. And the one project that this company had been most proud of once the one headed up but Professor Warren Davis; Project Symbiote.

Those two workers had brought back samples of the venom symbiote remains; also, some scientists were able to bring back samples of the carnage-symbiote from the train station. Some government and military representatives had seen how powerful those creatures were, and were hoping that they could use something like that.

But Professor Davis was most proud of one thing in particular, his living specimen.

Sitting in the middle of a lab, was a large containment chamber; and sitting in the chamber, was Babs Seed. The last living host of a symbiote on this Earth; the alien has been lying dormant inside her for the past year.

The chamber was soundproof, so Warren had to speak into a microphone to speak with her; he said into the mic, “Good morning Babs, did you sleep well?” the chamber’s floor was meant to be soft, so she was at least comfortable.

All Babs could do was nod her head, as no one could hear her.

No one was worried about Babs not being around, the Life Foundation had told her family that she had been giving some kind of infection from the symbiotes, and was being treated for it.

Professor Davis was about to run his tests, when someone stormed into the lab; it was the CEO of Roxxon, Phyllis Cloverleaf. “Warren, we need to talk; about the project.”

---

The two of them were talking in Warren’s office, she wasn’t happy about the results that she was getting from this project.

“You said you’d have a fresh batch of super-soldiers; my big presentation is next week, and I have nothing to show. I promised the police force a powerful arsenal of symbiote-soldiers.” Cloverleaf explained.

Professor Davis replied with, “I understand, Phyllis; but you can’t rush science. These things just take time.”

Cloverleaf walked towards the door, intending to leave; but before she left, she turned to Warren and said, “You have two days; two days to give me some results, or I’m pulling your funding and firing you and all your staff.”

“But…” before Warren could get a word in, Phyllis left the office. Professor Davis sat down in his chair, and began thinking; just as his lab assistant walked in to talk to him. “What are we going to do? We need some kind of results if we want to keep our jobs.”

His assistant was hesitant, but she did have an idea; she explained, “Well sir, we do still have the living specimen. The creature is lying dormant, if we draw it out; then we might be able to work with it.”

Warren was nervous, but that sounded like their only idea; he said to his assistant, “We know that sound agitates them, ready the sonic speakers.”

The young girl nodded at his request and left the office to carry out his orders.

---

That evening, scientists started working, setting up the sonic speakers around the lab and aiming them at the chamber Babs Seed was contained in; she was watching them, not really understanding what they were doing.

She was starting to worry, but her bad thoughts went away when she saw Professor Davis enter the lab; she trusted him, she knew him.

However, he didn’t look happy; when she saw his face, she saw he looked mad. When he spoke into the microphone, her thoughts were confirmed; he said, “Babs Seed, I am very disappointed in you. We have worked together for a year, and I have nothing to show for it; and it’s all your fault, you little brat.” She didn’t know it, but he was purposely trying to get her angry.

“And now you’ve forced my hand.” He put headphones on, as did all the other scientists; once he was sure that they were all safe, he pushed the red button on the computer console.

The sonic speakers suddenly blasted the chamber with high volume sounds, sounds that were even able to penetrate the sound proof glass; Babs put her hands over her ear to try and block it out, but it was too much.

She could feel a growing pain inside herself all of a sudden; from her back, the scientists could see small yellow tentacles growing. Warren stepped closer to the glass and muttered, “It’s working.”

The all of a sudden, Babs let out a large scream; before yellow slime exploded from her body, smashed the glass and sending fragments all over the lab. The blast was so great, that Warren and his assistant were thrown out the door of the lab.

All was quiet for the moment, until footsteps could be heard; Warren looked at the door to the lab, one of the scientists was trying to run away from something, but a yellow tentacle grabbed him from behind and pulled him back in.

Grabbing hold of the frame of the door, Professor Davis saw large hands, with sharp claws and red veins. The lab was full of smoke from the blast; but, emerging from the mist, came….

The creature let out an earth shaking roar.

Warren tried to say, “Babs wait…”

“Babs isn’t here right now.” The symbiote replied. “There is only Scream!”

Scream grabbed Warren’s assistant and lift her by the neck, into the air; Warren ran away before he could see what happened, all he heard was a large ‘chomp’ sound, before the creature started chasing him threw the lab.

Security had been called, the symbiote chased Professor Davis into the lobby of the lab; when it walked into the room, it released another bone-chilling roar. The security guards began shooting their guns at Scream, but the bullets were just bouncing off her; her symbiote hair attacked like tentacles, grabbed the guards and throwing them around.

He jump up onto the ceiling, trying to get away from the gun fire; she saw one guard in particular shooting his pistol at her, so she jumped down to grabbed him.

As she held him by the by the neck, he looked completely terrified; he managed to mutter, “Please, I gotta family.”

Half of Scream’s symbiote face dissolved away, revealing half of Babs Seed’s face; she replied, with a combination of Scream’s and Babs’ voices, “I had a family once, it didn’t work out.” Scream’s face came all the way back; and without warning, she opened her mouth and a large tentacle shot out of her mouth and down the guards throat, it was drain the life out of him.

When she was done, she threw the body at Davis, who was running for the door; the body knocked him down, allowing Scream to shoot a tentacle from her hand and drag Warren back to her.

Scream’s mouth opened, revealing Babs’ face underneath; in her voice she asked, “Any last words, Professor.”

All he could reply was, “No… please.”

But Scream didn’t listen, she just opened her jaw and…

---

Scream blasted out of the wall of the building, she roared (roar link) one last time as she had gained her freedom. As she began to walk down the road, the symbiote went away, returning to Babs Seed.

The teenage girl began talking to herself, speaking in rhythms, “That’s for the lesson’s dad, but I don’t need any man; and Professor, you tasted just like ham.”
