VENOMOUS GENEROSITY
Chapter 10
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt took Rarity only a minute to run the distance between Suri's exhibition and Sunset's house (which was half a mile long). Once she arrived, instead of ringing the bell, she immediately started to viciously bang on the front door.
"SUNSET SHIMMER! Come out here right this instant! I know all about your despicable betrayal! Open the door and face the consequences of your villainy!"
After about twenty seconds of banging, she got impatient and broke down the door with a single kick instead. When she noticed that there was no light inside, however, she decided to move with caution. She sneaked around the house for a few minutes in order to find both Sunset and a button for turning on the light, but managed to find neither.
However, when she was just about to give up and exit the house, she was blinded by the sudden coming of lights. Also, before she could regain her vision, she was assaulted by a series of extremely loud electric guitar melodies. Even though she was doing her best to cover her ears and block the sonic attack, it was simply too much for her to handle. The Symbiote's condition, meanwhile, was way worse as the frequency of the sound waves was getting dangerously close to the frequency that would be lethal for him and he was already beginning to be forced out of Rarity's body with agony.
About fifteen seconds of sonic assault later, Rarity finally managed to take a good look at the attackers and as soon as she did, her expression changed from fearful to extremely furious. Therefore, she grabbed a nearby dinner table and threw it towards them without a second thought. Although they barely managed to get out of the way (thanks to a certain someone's super speed), their guitars were crushed under the table's weight, ending the attack. Then, she immediately turned to the Symbiote who was immensely dazed by the experience.
"Goodness, darling! Are you alright?"
"I... I think so. Just need a few minutes to pull myself back together, though."
"Don't worry. Just keep doing that while I handle this, okay?"
"You got it."
Rarity stroked his head a bit before turning her attention towards the assaulters who were none other than Sunset Shimmer and Rainbow Dash. Needless to say, both of them were pretty intimidated by both the Symbiote's appearance and the look that Rarity gave them.
"You girls have officially lost your darn minds!"
"Uh, us? You're the one sharing your body with an oozy alien who controls your every move."
"Rainbow's right, Rarity. We were just trying to save you from that creature."
"Control? Save me? You're even more insane than I thought! He's definitely not a dangerous beast. In fact, he's the best friend I ever had for a long while!"
Just then, Twilight entered the house and began to pant heavily once she reached the scene.
"Sorry... Traffic was killer... Had to run... half the distance... Did you... manage to contain it?"
However, once she took a good look at the environment, she realized what was happening.
"Oh. Guess not."
"YOU! You came up with this diabolical scheme just because my test scores were starting to compete with yours?!"
"What? No, I-"
"And you, Sunset! I can't believe you actually sympathized with the very person who single-handedly turned my life upside down and interfered with the justice I delivered!"
"How many times do I have to say this? Yes, what she did to you was definitely wrong, but you had no right to treat her like that."
"No right? She needed to suffer the exact way that I suffered! I simply gave her a taste of her own medicine. So, I see nothing wrong with that."
"That's because that alien is making you think it's okay to be brutal like that. Don't you see, Rarity? It's taking over your head and turning you into something you're not!"
"Sunset's right. We all observed your unusual behavior throughout the week. All you eat in the cafeteria is chocolate pudding and brownies, nearly every piece of clothing you wear is black leather, you yell at anyone who says something or acts in a way that contrasts with your liking, and you always get dizzy when you're close to a ringing school bell. We thought about asking you to stop doing all that, but your behavior made us realize that you would never listen to us and instead follow the creature's instructions. Its presence in your body is making an immensely negative impact on your mind, and we have to remove and contain it as soon as possible."
"Oh, so by just spying on me, you think you've got it all figured out, huh? Well, you don't! This Symbiote was the only one who truly understood my suffering, as well as the only one who was willing to go out of his way to assist me in any sort of problem I faced. He's more than earned the right to be called my dear friend and I absolutely refuse to part ways with him any time soon."
"Rarity, come on! You know we're just trying to help you. Don't tell me you're just gonna throw our friendship to the dump like that. "
"Pfft! Let's not kid ourselves, Rainbow Dash. If you were truly my friends and cared about me, then you would've done everything in your power to ease my pain and ensure that the person who hurt me could never get the chance to do the same thing to another. But, you didn't! Thanks to the Symbiote; I ended Suri's reign of terror, rescued Sweetie Drops from certain doom, and nearly eradicated all crime in the city. Now, you seek to destroy everything we worked for just because he influences me to act different from what you consider normal. Well, breaking news, I love both him and my new self! He put my broken pieces back together and gave me the confidence I needed to stand up to those who were cruel to me. I am forever grateful for his efforts and I want him to never leave my side. Simply put, I wish to make our bond a permanent one!"
While the girls gasped in both shock, the Symbiote turned towards her with great excitement.
"And I know the perfect way to do just that! Once we achieve full symbiosis, we shall become parts of something truly magnificent and will never be apart from each other. All you have to do is say yes, Rarity, and I'll be with you forever. So, what are you waiting for? Bond with us mind, body, and soul!"
Despite the protests of the girls, Rarity closed her eyes to think about it. Before she opened them a moment later, a determined smile appeared on her face.
"Let's do it."
"YES! FINALLY!"
Just then, his head grew immensely large and promptly swallowed Rarity whole. Once she was completely inside the head, it started to contort and wrap around her body, change its appearance dramatically. As the girls watched the transformation with pure horror on their faces; Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy finally arrived (with Pinkie carrying AJ's bass and AJ carrying Pinkie's drums) and all three of them also gasped in horror at the sight of this scene.
About ten seconds later, the change was finally complete and the result was the stuff of nightmares. While It looked like a bulkier version of Rarity, but its skin was made out of black ooze, stood at least two feet taller than the girls, had razor sharp claws for hands, its face was exactly that of the Symbiote, and had an unbelievably large tongue.
Upon awakening, the being took notice of its appearance and began laughing maniacally. Its voice was a mixture between those of Rarity and the Symbiote. Meanwhile, the girls were still staring at it with confusion and fear.
"What in tarnation is that supposed to be?! Where the hay is Rarity?!"
The being stopped laughing, turned its attention towards them, and a sadistic grin crossed its face.
"We are neither Rarity nor Symbiote. From this day forth, we are something more than both. We are poison to all who wronged us. WE. ARE. VENOM!!!!!
