Barry smiled, wiping some sweat from his face. "Done! Now this should be a good token!" He shouted as he held up his own token, it was a wristwatch with a touch pad that said ‘transfer or summon.' He pressed transfer and the watch disappeared.

'Now what?' Venom asked his host.

"Now we wait..."

Suddenly, a voice was heard in Barry’s head. “Hey, Agent Venom, my Ponyville’s getting overwhelmed by Berry Bubble replicas. Want to help me take them out? The Warrior of Light awaits your call.”

'Warrior of Light? Sounds like a egotist.' Venom joked his mind. Barry knew his symbiotic companion was growing aspects of his personality. "Hey shut up," Barry said as he raised his own wrist watch in the air.

Making sure he had his weaponry he jumped into the spiral vortex.

Sora’s POV

I looked up from the watch in my hand to see a spiraling vortex of energy. “Don’t worry, Berry,” I said, looking at the Earth Pony at my side. “If this guy’s anything like I what I think he is, we’ll have those mirror clones rounded up in no time.” I looked up and stepped to the side just in time for black, white, and spiked human to come flying out of the vortex.

'This the right place?' Venom asked Barry. "Hell if I know! I've never jumped universe's before!" Barry shouted at Venom.

“Yeah, Venny,” said Berry, glaring up at the new human. “Take it easy on him.”

I looked down at Berry, my eyebrow raised. “You talking to someone there, Berry?”

Berry nodded. “U-huh! The voice in his head, of course!”

I blinked, stunned for a moment, before looking back up at the new human. “Sorry about him,” I said. “Name’s Sora. I assume you’re Agent Venom?”

'The pink one can hear us?!' Venom shouted in Barry's mind. 'Can't everyone nowadays!?'

"The one and only! Call me Barry, Barry Taylor." He said smiling as he looked up, "now you have a...Berry problem?" He asked.

“Yeah,” I said, scratching the back of my head. “You see, Berry here went to this magical lake called the Mirror Pool and now-”

“FUN!”

Sora and Berry winced as no fewer than five Berry Bubbles surrounded the symbiote.

“Who are you?”

“Are you fun?”

“Is wearing that suit fun?”

“Is that gun fun? What about that one?”

“Hey guys, there’s an ice-cream store over there!”

*GAAAAASP!!!*

And just like that, the mini-storm of Berrys had whisked themselves elsewhere, leaving a very frazzled Barry behind.

Barry felt the symbiote slide off his face, looking to his side he saw the parasite stare him down with a toothy smile. "We're going to enjoy this more than we should." The human just nodded in agreement, Barry raised a hand up.

"I'll answer questions on what I am later!" He shouted as he ran toward the Berry infested town.

'Venom mark that Berry yellow and the others red for my spidersense!' Venom obeyed. Grabbing his weapons he sat on a wall, "good lord..." He said as he stared, all he saw was pink, pink, and PINK!!! It irritated him.

Jumping down he began to slash away, most of the mirror Berry's disappearing only more coming. "HOW THE HELL!?!?!" Barry and Venom shouted in unison. Gripping his pistols he began to fire away making sure not to injury the real Berry.

"FUN!!" One Berry shouted jumping on Barry's back. Whenever the symbiote or Barry himself tried to grip his tail more tried to subdue him.

"FUN!"

"FUN!!"

"FUN!!!"

"FUN!!!!"

"FUN!!!!!"

“Having fun?” I asked, slicing through a couple Berrys as I smirked at Barry.

The human's eyes turned bright red, jumping up he growled as he turned to me. "Shut up! Or I'll shoot you!" He shouted as Barry jumped forward once again, this time turning his hands into gooey like swords. Impaling multiple Berry's the one's that tried to tackle him where ripped apart by Venom.

"Now I'm having fun HAHAHA!!!" He shouted as he jumped onto a wall, crashing through a window he came back out with a dresser slamming it into the ground creating a small shockwave.

I blinked at the destruction, sighing and shaking my head. “I’m probably going to have to pay for that.”

“Don’t worry,” said the real Berry. “The town gets a rebuilding stipend from Canterlot every month from living so close to the Everfree forest. We haven’t had to use it too much lately, so we’ve got enough to repair a few blocks if we need to!”

I groaned, placing my head in my hands. “You know, that makes entirely too much sense. Still…” I looked up and cupped my hands over my mouth. “OI! BARRY! TRY NOT TO DESTROY THE TOWN TOO MUCH! PONIES STILL NEED TO LIVE HERE WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER!”

Barry rolled his eyes, taking a momentary break he shouted back. "YOU DON'T THINK I KNOW THAT!? I LIVE IN PONYVILLE IN MY UNIVERSE!" Barry turned back gripping a Berry and slamming it head first into the ground.

'Our first real taste of fighting comes in the form of...a male Pinkie?' Venom asked his host.

'I know but I'm having a blast!!!!' Barry shouted as he fired multiple web lines into two buildings, creating a net he jumped onto it. The net sprung him forward his feet knocking most of the mirror Berry's out of existence. Finally landing on a building on the opposite side of Ponyville he smiled, '100 down. 100 more to go!' He thought grinning.

“Hey, try to capture a few of them instead of destroying them,” I called, tossing a firaga over my shoulder to incinerate the five Berrys coming out of the ice-cream shop. “Just ten or so. I’ve got some tests I need to run.”

Barry groaned, "fine." He mumbled, jumping up he put his pistols near his waist small tendrils putting them in their holsters. Landing back on the ground, Barry formed massive claws. Slicing and dicing his way down the Berry's one by one.

By the time he finished only eleven were left. "That good enough?" He asked crossing his arms.

“Perfect,” I replied. “Now to actually capture them.” I took a deep breath, cupping my hands over my mouth again. “HEY, BERRYS! LOOK AT THAT FUN PEBBLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!” The Berrys instantly crowded together, staring down at an ordinary pebble. I smirked over to Barry. “Your web, if you please?”

Barry rolled his eyes again, forming a fist and aiming at the Berry's. Out of the white square on the top of his fist came webbing easily encasing the Berry's. "That'll only last 4 hours so make your experiment fast! And non explosive, loud, or fire related!"

I nodded, looking around until I saw the mare I was looking for. “Hey, Twilight! Could I get you to take these clones over to my place? I’ve got a large cage in my basement that should hold them once the webbing wears off.”

Twilight raised an eyebrow, trotting over as she lit her horn. “Okay, but why do you want these clones in the first place.”

“Just a couple of experiments,” I said. “They don’t have hearts, so I want to see how they react to heartless and the keyblade.”

Twilight nodded, levitating the mass of pink and webbing (“Fun! Fun!”) and walking off. I turned to Barry, holding out my hand. “Thanks for that. Can’t tell you how long that would have taken without you, and I probably wouldn’t have been able to capture nearly as many Berry clones.”

"Hey! Your welcome! But please, don't let Twilight know this but here," Barry said as a small cyan blue glob of goo formed in his hand. "Overnight Venom....kinda reproduced and I was kinda hoping to find Rave a home and a host! If your willing that is?" Barry asked hopeful.

I raised an eyebrow, looking down at the blob. “Depends. What exactly does being a ‘host’ entail?”

"I'm Venoms host, aka, his primary source of life, the reason he's still not insane, and not really a host more of a friend figure than a host and parasite relationship."

I studied the blob closely, briefly switching over to my heart-sight. Sure enough, the heart of this creature was as pure as an infant’s, and it possessed more of a cooperative nature than a parasitic one. I blinked my eyes back to normal and smiled at Barry. “I’d be more than happy to give Rave a home.”

The cyan blue symbiote immediately jumped from it's father's hand, jumping onto me it felt...cold the first time around. "Don't worry you'll get used to it." Barry said smiling at the new figure of me.

The symbiote had stretched to cover my whole body beneath my clothes, continuing down to cover my hands and up to cover my neck. It was a light blue with green highlights running throughout. It soon warmed up, matching my skin temperature, and I found to my surprise that I could still feel through it.

“Okay,” I admitted, “this is actually really cool. Does he do anything else?”

"Well, aside from, tendrils, weapon formation, mind reading, if you go to the home planet for purification than YA lots of other stuff like, claws, teeth, super strength, and some of Venoms powers etc."

I blinked, glancing nervously down at the apparently rather powerful symbiote. “I think I’ll just stick to the basics. Although…” I held out my left arm and focused. Rave responded to my mental signals and flowed down to that arm, quickly forming a shield. “Oh yeah,” I said, summoning Mysterious Stalker and going through a few drills. “I could get used to this!” I dismissed my blade and coaxed Rave back into his suit form. “So, I don’t think we have any more disasters going on right now. Want to hang out around town?”

"As much as I'd love to I promised my Twi I'd be there for lunch on a hill with the others," Barry said raising his watch arm. With that the same vortex of energy opened.

"If you ever need us. Just call and we'll be there!" Barry said giving me and Rave a two finger salute before jumping into the vortex disappearing.

I quickly summoned a keychain and threw it in after him. “You forgot this!” The portal closed and I scratched the back of my head. “Hope he got that.”
