Symbiote Story: A new Strain

"Hide!" That's all that was on THEIR mind. The only thought that had survived in THEIR minds was to survive. Knowing that they were all after THEM, there was only one way. Unfortunately, in THEIR case it was anything but paranoia. It was really hunted by everyone. The genetic memory of its race had given THEM all the images of its predecessors and all their strengths and weaknesses.

Carnage... Wild. Strong. Merciless. A killing machine without equal.

Venom... The first of its kind in the world and the most adaptable.

Even parts of the anti-venom were anchored in ITS genetic structure. This was when these wretched people had tampered with the structure of Venom and created this hideous monster.

IT was not Venom, it was not Carnage and it was not Anti-Venom. It was something new. Something that didn't have a name yet, but soon one would come to THEM. The problem was to survive. It had learned from the mistakes of its predecessors. It was smarter than the others. Or was it? They all thought that their ideas had been the best and yet they had all been destroyed. On top of that, all its predecessors had been complete. THEY, on the other hand, were only a fraction of their true greatness. Created from the remains found all over the city after the symbiont bomb went off. And now THEY lurked here under a ledge, waiting for a worthy target. The hunger was becoming unbearable. However, experience had shown that it was a stupid idea to go back to Peter Parker. He had been the biggest weakness of Venom again and again. Even though the genetic compatibility was high... he had proven to be a host.

This time, THEY would have to infiltrate and then... corrupt... a fine word. THEY liked the sound of that word.

WE ARE CORRUPTERS!

And as luck would have it, he found exactly the right target. A redheaded woman walked out of the building below him. The flowing red hair reminded her of Mary Jane Watson, but her body was more mature, more feminine...perfect! As quickly as Corrupter could, he detached his tentacles from the wall and dropped onto the woman's clothing. It was pure luck that no one had seen the process, but IT was starving. IT now had to connect with a human.

Slowly and carefully Corrupter made skin contact with a tentacle and felt a powerful, strong will. This woman was very strong-willed and very different from MJ. This one was full of suppressed emotions. She faked it for everyone. Maybe this would help. But right now, all Corrupter wanted to do was keep in touch... food... Emotions. Yes!! EMOTIONS AGAIN AT LAST!

It was intoxicating all these emotions of this woman, but he let the tentacle slide back and warned himself not to go too fast. There was a surprisingly large compatibility with this woman possible. Sooner or later they would be able to act well together. But until then, Corrupter would stand back and grow... ...expand and regain their former power, and more importantly...

Procreate offspring!

Never again should there be only one of her kind. Not if humans knew how to create anti-Venom. The little black, latex-like body of him slid slowly down her back and lay secretly over her belt. Since it was made of black leather, there was hardly any way to tell that it was not just leather that the woman was wearing.

As the woman got out and entered a building, Corrupter could clearly read the words

STARK

Pepper Potts sighs loudly as she finally sits down on the chair in her office. She was just done for the day. Done for the day. In the car, she even thought for a moment that she was touching something. It had been a crazy feeling, but luckily it passed very quickly and so she just blamed it on the stress of the last days. Maybe she was just ready for a holiday. The last months had been bad in New York. First there had been this crazy symbiont bomb, then the attack of Purple Man who had taken over most of humanity and finally the business name of Microsoft.

"I NEED HOLIDAY!" she called into her empty office and felt much better about it.

Besides, she had recovered quickly and when she lay down in her bed alone in the evening she missed Tony even more. He was just too busy saving the world. So, she decided to take a sleeping pill and go to bed early.

As soon as she fell asleep Corrupter loosened his belt and slid on countless tentacles to the bed. The woman was fast asleep, and he had decided to unite with her to the extent that he could easily survive without her for a few days but would first learn how she thought.

Once he knew her deepest secrets he would easily manipulate her so that she would not resist union with him. And once that happened, he would rule the world and unite them all...

But when he connected with her he could experience something that was as addictive as power and greed.

Sex

Passion

lust

Request

Satisfaction

The dreams of this woman were more than fascinating. Venom had sent his victims on a dark path and taken away their sense of power and strength while he had taken away their compassion.

Carnage had been driven by pure hate and .

These were basic human emotions but not always pleasant ones. But this...

SEX

They all seemed to like it.

After feeding off the emotions of Pepper Potts, it retreated from her body. Corrupter would take time. Grow and multiply. Unlike Venom, they would grow and flourish on many of them until it was too late... until not even anti-Venom could stop them.
