Venom crashes Maretropolis

Maretropolis Police precinct
Every area in the building was bustling with activity, yesterday the most dangerous villains of Maretropolis had escaped. Everyone was currently doing everything they could to prepare for the days to come. It was likely that all the officers were on edge and very nervous on what to do, so they were cleaning weapons, suiting up and going through patrol plans.

Except for this one reporter and a hidden symbiote that wished to speak with a few officers. Another fact about these two is that they still aren't sure about what direction to take with their newfound power.

"What is your opinion on this Arkhoof breakout?" I asked hoping for a good answer. I came here for the voice of our police after all.

"All we know is that Shadowmane once again broke the League out of Arkhoof and I assure you that we're doing everything we could to bring them into custody." Explained Police Chief Carrot Top holding her hands up in reassurance.

She always seemed to just talk to the people of Maretropolis whenever they reached out to the police. I can't fully blame her since it's the super heroes taking down serious threats anyways, and now we're going to need them more than ever. The League of Villainy is a complete team now and this time they won't underestimate the power ponies.

"Things aren't looking great for us Quill." Venom whispered within the reaches of my mind.

"We'll just have to see whatever happens then." I said turning around walking towards the exit.
Writing down the officers and the Chief's opinions on the matter in my notes I get ready to head back towards my workplace.

"Quill, those seven are giving me a strange feeling." Venom said with skepticism. Prompting me to look towards what he meant I saw 6 girls and a young boy talking with a few officers on the other side of the room.

"Those aren't reporters, why would they be here?" I asked to myself and Venom.

"I suggest we leave, this may be a problem. Unless you want to eat them which I would love to do!" Venom said with a false hope which I enthusiastically denied.

"We don't know if they're bad people Venom, remember we only hurt or eat the guys ok? We're not even recognized as super heroes so fighting in a space like this would scare people." I said looking at my shoulders to tell him off.

Unexpectedly though one of them turned towards me, they were a shy looking Pegasus and when she saw me she seemed to just stare at me for a while.

I decided to wave to her as a friendly notion.

But when I waved at her she got the others attention and when she did they all just stared at me.

"Quill lets go, now!" Venom said quickly.

Following his advice I paced to the front doors of the Precinct, but before I could get my hand on the handle the earthpony girl with fluffy looking pink hair and a smile that practically covered her whole face stepped in front of me. How did she do that? I was so close to the exit and she was on the other side of the building!

"HitheremynamesPinkiePiewhat'syournameIsawyoulookingatusfromacrosstheplaceandsuresomepeoplejustlookaroundbutyouwavedatFluttershysothatmeansyouwanttobefriendsanddidyouknowtheVenommoviehasbadratingsbutaudiencesactuallyseemtoloveit?!" Shouted this "Pinkie Pie."

Quill just seemed to stand there trying to understand what in the world this strange and insane seeming human just asked, so I helped him by controlling his body to walk away as quickly as possible. The whole time he had held a contemplating face.

I was actually considering forming to our symbiosis form to chomp her head off, but Quill likely wouldn't like that.

"Huh what just happened?" I asked after snapping back to reality.

"I have no idea, I just had us leave when that weird girl came up to us." Venom explained while still walking my body.

Taking back control I just decided to wander through the streets. Taking in the sights he starts to think, what should he fight for? The images going through his mind is him and the symbiote joining together to become Venom and protect the city. Another image that he has is going through my mind is becoming a villain, robbing banks, eating people, and eat that spider pony guy because they just seemed dumb.

"We're being followed." Venom warned my quietly.

At first I thought it was one of those girls I saw, but instead when I took a slight glimpse I saw a unicorn with green and white hair. Why would he be following me? I didn't look at him to feign ignorance, but I had Venom continue to watch him.

I'm not just going to leave myself blind.

He continued to just follow me through open streets and areas.

I eventually lost him and tried to think nothing of it. Coming home I opened the door and took a look outside through the window.

"Who do you think that was?" Asked Venom also keeping an eye on the area around the house. Looking away I had decided to take a take a seat in the dining room and took a sandwich out of the fridge.

"I have no idea, a lot of weird people have shown up today. Do you know why those girls and that boy aroused your suspicion?" I asked curiously while taking a bite out of my dinner.

"I'm not certain, they just seemed to stand out of all the powerless humans in the building." Venom explained.

"So you're saying that there's a possibility they have powers?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Only as a guess, Quill. There are many variables and I don't have a definite answer." Venom said uncertainly.

The rest of the night was just me and Venom speaking to each other about what could and can happen. We're moving forward so quickly and I don't like it. We don't like it all.

Waking up I had realized I overslept, running out of the house with no breakfast I had my mind racing. We had hatched a plan for the next time we see that guy following us. But we will need to interrogate him to find out why they were following us.

Let's just ho-

"QUILL WHY DID WE NOT EAT BREAKFAST I'M HUNGRY!" Venom said making my legs stop thus causing my face to land straight onto the concrete.

"Okay lets get breakfast." I said picking up my face and dusting off my cloths.

Continuing to run I had rushed to a nearby fast food place. Luckily the line wasn't too long so I ordered a small breakfast burger and ran out of the restaurant. But when I ran out again I saw him, the same man from yesterday.

"Keep eating, I'll keep an eye on him." Venom said.

Listening to him I slowed down and stayed at walking speed and continued to eat, keeping myself from looking suspicious. Later we found ourselves entering the citywide area. Remembering the plan I had quickened my pace prompting our stalker to quicken as well .

Turning a corner I walk into an alleyway, and forming my arms into black tendrils I grapple myself up on the wall above the entrance to the alley. And sure enough that unicorn individual had followed, but when he didn't see me he had a shocked face. He also seemed scared of something, or someone.

"Crooks never look up do they?" I asked with the most cockiest smile I could make,

All I saw was the crooks wide eyed expression when I jumped down landing on top of him. Grabbing him by the neck we formed into Venom seeming to terrify him.

"Why we're you following us?" We asked with our usual savage grin.

Refusing to say anything, he just stood there seeming to be close to fainting.

"If you do not respond we will eat your head right off your neck, and then we will eat the rest of your body knowing that nobody will find out about what happened today." We said giving a firm message across.

We made sure to make our eyes look much sharper when we leaned forwards to make us look a bid more menacing.

"M-Mane-iac sent me here!" He said turning away holding his hands in front of his face.

The Mane-iac sent him? What does the greatest Villain in all of Maretropolis want with me? She doesn't know it was me at the church does she?

"Why did she send you after us?" We aske- no demanded!

"She told me to warn you. Stay away from the Maretropolis Gazette tomorrow, or else you'll be killed along the rest of them." He said in a scared rush.

"Why did she want to warn us specifically?" We asked wondering what the answer would be.

"I don't know, all she said was that Quick Writer was to be spared and wanted him out of the way I swear!" He said.

" Well lets hope you're not important to her." We said maniacally opening our mouth showing off our gigantic array of teeth.

Instead of simply tearing his head off we decided to snap his neck in a instant with one hand.

It became a rainy day after that.

Maretropolis City Center Roof
We didn't bother to change back to Quill after everything we were told. And now people are going to die?

Sure we killed as well, but they were criminals not innocents!

Looking to the ground below us we saw our reflection in the water. Our face didn't have our usual grin and eyes, but instead had a downtrodden look to it. How can someone who looks so evil be a hero? Why would the people ever look up to us? Life and death are two things that is never decided by humanity. And becoming a hero will make us something else entirely.
Hell, is Quill even human anymore?

Who are we?

Turning back to Quill I just stared at my reflection.

Slowly but surely Venom had come out as his snakelike appearance, and also looked at my reflection. The reflection that he couldn't appear in.

"I was actually pretty hated among my kind." Venom said with sad eyes.

"I was someone who liked to have long lasting bonds, tried to be more than just a parasite that clung to someone for survival. I tried to be friends with the one I was bonded to." Venom drawled.

"But because of that, I was an outcast. A black sheep among Kylntar, and I tried all I could to fit in. Sure I was violent like the rest of them, but... I was always different." Venom said sadly.

"I thought all I could do was destroy, only harm those around me because of what I was."

"But then I met you, Quill." Venom said looking directly at me.

"When I first met you I thought you were pathetic in truth." Venom said truthfully.

"Wow thanks pal." I responded with an annoyed expression looking at him now.

"Let me finish, when I met you I thought you were pathetic. But, you showed me how to live, not survive. By just talking to me, eating food, showing me what chocolate tasted like. You taught me that I am someone." Venom said with a smile.

"One host told me a story once."

Life and death were talking to each other near a large body of water.. Life asked Death,
'why do the people love me but hate you?' Life asked.

And death replied, 'Because they see you as beautiful, and see me as nothing but a harmful truth.' Responded death. Venom said finishing the story.

I didn't say anything back but chose to simply look out at the rainy city in front of me.

"Well, I want to deny that truth now." Venom said retracting back into me.

Peering out at the city I called home I began to speak, "For so long I was tortured, my parents deaths had a impact on me. Almost ruined me completely, and when I met the love of my life I felt complete again." I said with teary eyes.

"But then I lost her, and I thought, why should I live with this? Why live with the pain?" I said with tears flowing down my eyes.

Black biomass then started to go up my legs.

"But I chose to live, and I live with the memories of what happened. And now..."

"We will fight together." We said forming into to Venom as one.

Jumping out into the city the sky stopped raining. And we felt more clear than ever.

Maretropolis Gazzete
It was a normal day today, reporters here and there writing down articles for the daily paper.

But then, the doors had opened and a woman wearing a large dress and hat had entered the building. Everyone looked at her not knowing what she wanted, and she walked up to the front desk.

"Excuse me madam but can we help you?" Asked a security guard that approached her,

"Yes you can, I would like to project a message for the city." She asked looking directly at the guard.
And when he looked at her eyes he knew what she meant.

Her eyes had a green outside and a red iris.

After vaulting ourselves through the city we were closing in on the Gazette. It was absolute chaos! People were running out of the building and it was surrounded by police and reporters. This time we're going to need a plan, so we decided to get close and listen into their conversation.

"And I am just outside of the Maretropolis Gazette, and just now I heard that the Mane-iac, one of the escaped criminals from Arkhoof has a hostage at sword point and is demanding to talk with the mayor of the city." A reporter said holding a microphone up to their face.

Crap they have a hostage, we'll have to think this through carefully. The Power Ponies might show up, but not in time for them to save the hostage and stop her.

"Quill if we go in there everyone is going to know that we exist." Venom said as a final warning.

"If we don't go in that hostage is going to die." I said moving us towards the building.

Vaulting over the crowd with all our strength we ran towards the building. We then Climbed up and into the windows. The crowd was going wild on what was happening. Some of them were saying things like, "What is that?!", "Is that thing going to save that man?" And others were... describing what's happen inside the building?

And that's when I realized, they were all recording live on the inside of the building too. We're going to have to slightly hold back if we don't want to scare them too badly.

Watching from the roof we saw Mane-iac holding... Voice Recorder with one lock and having a sword in the other. He seemed to have a stone face, but we could tell that he was scared as anyone would be.

"Alright now listen Maretropolis! I want to talk to authority and if I don't this one gets it." She said with a insane smile.

Our mind was running at speeds faster than Filli-second trying to think up a plan to save him. And when we saw her drag the blade across his cheek leaving a bleeding scar we knew what to do.

RAAAAAAA! Letting out a primal roar we shot a black tendril out of our shoulder at the lock of her mane holding the blade in place, and punched her in the stomach causing her to fly back and drop Voice at the same time. Reacting Quickly we leaped and scooped our friend in our arms and had ran out of the building gently placing him down in front of the crowd.

They all seemed astonished, in awe, and some suspicious at what we were doing. Why would something so monstrous be protecting the innocent? We were about to say something, but the sound of glass shattering behind us had stopped us.

"What kind of creature would dare face me?" Mane-iac said with furious eyes. She didn't seem too intimidated by our appearance but that wont matter.

Vaulting towards her with our fist out we suddenly started exchanging hits. She threw multiple tendrils of her mane at us, but we promptly responded by flipping and jumping backwards dodging every single attack.

Diving at her we delivered a devastating kick at her waist landing her on the ground. Grasping her legs we threw her at the wall, but she recovered last second and cushioned her landing with her mane.

She let out a scream and charged at us with murder in her expression. We responded by running at her as well, but when she tried to connect her attacks we had dived out of the way last second, and delivered a roundhouse kick to the back of her head. That stopped her, because when we did she fell to the ground completely unconscious.

Looking at her on the ground Quill thought, "Holy crap we just beat the Mane-iac!"

Peering up we saw that the crowd and soon all of Maretropolis knew of us now. At that moment we knew that we had done it, we chose the route of heroism, and if we were hated or loved it wouldn't matter. Because we would fight for them no matter what. We were their lethal protector.

They all ran at us and we expected them to attack with all their might...

But unexpectedly, they cheered for us. They had awed faces and were clapping. I think our jaw had dropped and our teeth were showing because some were nervously laughing.

"That was amazing!" A officer hollered.

"You saved that man!" A unicorn woman shouted.

"How strong are you?" A little boy asked.

"You look scary! But a cool scary!" A mothers daughter hollered.

This was absolutely not expected. Some of them were standing back in fear as we knew they would. But 70% of them were cheering for our victory.
Then they asked the golden question.

"Who are you?!" They all shouted as a question.

It's time for them to all know. To know who we are now, and we knew exactly what to say. Because we are a hero of the city now.

"We Are Venom." We declared with a proud face. We then backed up and jumped away from the scene, and all of them we're cheering and asking if they could ask a question.

Then a familiar 7 had showed up.

"Don't worry the Power Ponies are here." They drawled seeing the defeated Mane-iac and crowd cheering, "Venom."

Stopping at our home we changed back to Quill. Walking into the house I did the one thing I could. I went into the kitchen ripped open the fridge and took out multiple bottles of Beer and a full chocolate cake with Venom smiling the whole time.

Grabbing the stereo I went into the Living room. I put it to full volume and played a certain song, standing up on the table and opened my mouth taking in a deep breath. Venom in his snake form he followed suit.

"WEEEEE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, MY FRIENDS!"

And thus the rest of the night was full of drunk karaoke and shameless celebrating as a new super hero. Knowing what we had done, and felt proud the whole time.

(Unknown Location)
"And just today a new and terrifying hero had saved a innocent man and stopped a supervillain here at the Maretropolis Gazette." Said the giddy reporter that was at every single power pony celebration.

That thing had announced itself as "Venom", and a certain mare had taken note. But not in what he was or what he did. But what he was capable of, the whole fight was recorded and he had showed his immense fighting power.

She felt that if they were to turn on Maretropolis they could be almost unstoppable. And she didn't want them to hurt innocent civilians. This... Venom, has to be stopped.

Some would think was this mare a villain? No she wasn't completely, she was a vigilante and a criminal. A criminal that fought for the innocent. And this thing was too dangerous to ignore.

Walking out of the room she opened a hidden passageway in her house. It lead to a stairway to under the house. Walking down the stairs it lead to a underground command center. But this room wasn't the reason why she came here. Walking towards a closet in the wall she opened it. And inside of it, was a suit of a recent someone known as a hero.

Mare Do Wells suit.
