Chapter One: Venomous Loyalty
"What the hell is that thing?!", a S.W.A.T. officer shouted. The lethal protector, Venom, was standing with the Equestria Girls and I, who all had flamethrowers. Rainbow Dash (my girlfriend) had bonded with Venom, a hulking black monster.
"Guess what time it is? Time to die!", I said. Venom and the Equestria Girls shared a laugh. With a crazed, maniacal laugh, I activated my flamethrower and sent the officers packing.
"That's your boyfriend?", Venom asked his host.
"Yep. He's crazy, handsome, and I've known him since childhood", Rainbow Dash answered.
Once the officers disappeared, I turned to Venom. "Alright. You're safe now. I don't know why these officers want you. I mean, you haven't done anything wrong."
"Well, with you and the girls protecting me-", Venom started to say.
"This just in. A red monster is on the loose in Canterlot. Citizens are advised to stay indoors at all times", a TV reporter said.
"Carnage", Venom and I said in unison.
"You know him?", Pinkie asked.
"He's... my offspring. The 999th symbiote", Venom said. He reabsorbed back into Rainbow Dash.
"I'm gonna go home and protect our daughter", I said. "I'm sorry I got you pregnant during freshman year, Dash."
"It's okay, Alan. I love you. Our daughter was a blessing", Rainbow Dash replied. We kissed passionately. We separated. I ran off.
"Awww, that's sweet", Venom said.
Back at home...
"Aura? Sweetie? Hello?", I called.
"Dad? What's going on? Where's Mom?", my three-year-old asked. I kneeled down to her level.
"She and the others are... not gonna be back for a while. Venom is in for the fight of his life. He's... facing off against his offspring. I'll stay with you", I answered.
"Is Mom coming back?", Aura asked.
"I hope so", I answered. I held my Ocellus plush close.
"What's that?", Aura asked.
"My... plushie", I answered with an embarrassed smile. "She's a changeling named Ocellus. I got her when I was around your age. I was thinking about giving her to you, but she's... special to me. It's the only thing I have from my family." I hugged my daughter.
No Hero
I got a darkness inside
And it's talking to me
I feel it rumble and writhe
Like a hungry disease
A face so ugly I hide
But it longs to be free
Once I've brought it to light
I'll be gone underneath
Swallowed consumed
I am one with the beast
You're not me, who are you
What are we
When I look at the face in the mirror I see
Just a shell of myself
I can tell you're no hero to me
I've got something gut tattering, blood blackening
My anatomy's unraveling, what's happening
Genetically unfettered immortality
A mask that I'll have on far beyond Halloween
Just from one touch fastening, attached to me
Feels like I'm galactically drug trafficking
Just dabbled and got addicted, I love agony
Identity gone, nothing much left of me
I've become an unnatural catastrophe
Infested with unfathomable fantasies
Never knew there was such madness untapped in me
Some venomous entity that we've become, haven't we?
We're ravaging our enemies compatibly
Dulled faculties I've forgotten what's empathy?
As a matter of fact, lost all sense of me
Doesn't matter cuz Venom's what we are meant to be
Tongue's wrapping around, stomach growling now
Hungry ravenous power, but I've atrophied, how?
Won't be captured and held, I will rattle the cell
Far from God's grace, I already fell
Blood drunk from the carnage, I think I'm gonna drown
Like the devil himself has been dragging me down
But I've actually found part of heaven in hell
We will topple your steeples and we'll shatter the bells
Oooh, right never felt so wrong
I know we've both walked paths
On which we don't belong
And now I have no doubt
If I cast you out
I'll be left with half myself
I got a darkness inside
And it's walking to me
I'm buckled up for the ride
With a hunger to feed
I don't want you to hide
If you long to be free
We're no hero tonight
We're the monster you need
Swallowed consumed
Venom running through me
I won't be, nor will you
Only we
Now I look at the face in the mirror and see
Just how fearsome we are
But you're far from a hero to me
I put Aura to bed. In the living room, I called Rainbow Dash. "Dashie? It's me. I put our little angel to bed. I hope you come back. I can't bear the thought of losing you." On the other side, Rainbow Dash listened with a tearful smile. "I love you to pieces. If I have to tell Aura that you aren't coming home, then... I don't know what I'm going to do." My call was interrupted by another. "Oh, I'm getting another call. Talk to you later." I hung up and answered the second call. "Hello?" The response I got was complete gibberish. However, it sounded familiar. The gibberish lasted for about 5 minutes. I put the call on reverse, and sure enough, As The Lights Go Out by DAGames played. However, this wasn't the piano nor rock versions. This was a remastered version. The phone rang again. William Alexander Ryan/DAGames answered.
"Hello? Mr. Kubicz?", Will called.
"I'm here. What's up?", I asked.
"Heart Of An Artist: Resurrection is coming soon, so I sent you that audio. What do you think?", Will asked.
"I love it. As The Lights Go Out was my favorite track on the original Heart Of An Artist, so this was nostalgic. Good luck on both this and The Goliath's Throne", I replied.
"Thanks. PEACE OUT!", Will answered.
"Bye-bye!", I replied. I hung up. I hummed As The Lights Go Out. I put Eternal Swing into my radio and listened to the five songs. The songs are Build Our Machine, Gospel Of Dismay, Instruments Of Cyanide, Meet Thy Maker, and Mr. Crooked. I eventually fell asleep. After Mr. Crooked, the radio turned off. I eventually woke up.
Author's Note
Did you honestly think I was only gonna use one symbiote? Fuck, no! Each of the Equestria Girls will be paired with a symbiote.
Chapter Two: Magical Riot
At Sunset's house...
"If we're going to take on Carnage, we'll need some backup", I said. "I broke into the Life Foundation and captured the five artificial symbiotes. I almost got caught, but Aura was able to distract the security guards." I opened one of the canisters. A writhing gray liquid oozed out. It attached to Twilight, who screamed like a little girl.
"Sheesh! You scream louder than me!", Aura (full name: Aurora Borealis Dash) said. The liquid absorbed into Twilight.
"What the hell was that?!", Twilight asked.
"Riot. Riot is what you would call a team leader", Venom said. The other four canisters remained closed.
"Will I die?!", Twilight asked. "Is Riot gonna kill me?! Will-" I hugged Twilight.
"Shh. Calm down, Twilight", I said. She returned the embrace. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Pinkie open another canister. "NO!" But it was too late. The yellow symbiote had already absorbed into Pinkie.
"What?", Pinkie asked. I facepalmed myself.
"Which symbiote was that?", Venom asked.
"Scream", I replied.
"What's the purple one?", Rarity asked.
"Agony", I said. Agony absorbed into Rarity. "Fluttershy, you take Lasher, the green one. Applejack, you take Phage, the orange one." Fluttershy and Applejack bonded with their respective symbiotes.
"What about me?", Sunset asked.
"I couldn't find a sixth one. Wait, where's Twilight?", I replied.
"Some S.W.A.T. officers appeared. She went to go take care of them", Aura said.
"Oh, sweet mother of pingas nuggets!", I said. I ran outside. A hulking gray monster was obliterating the entire S.W.A.T. force. Venom overtook Rainbow Dash and ran outside.
"Shit", Venom said. Suddenly, he whispered something in my ear. I nodded affirmatively. I took out my phone, turned the volume all the way up, and played a song. The volume of the song caused Riot to quake.

However, that didn't seem to work. "I have one more song. Hope it works", I said.
Game Over
The nightmare has just begun
We are the darkness that
Corrupts you inside
Let the story unwind
Torn away from your mind
When the timer starts ticking
We all know what you are thinking
You can hide all you might
But the nightmare begins tonight
We take our places in
The corner of your brain
All the cameras sustaining
All the images remaining
Controlling your demise
Dead children in disguise
Let me take you on a journey
From the torture that infests tonight
WAS IT ME WHO
CAUSED THE BITE
WAS IT ME WHO
BLED THEM DRY
WAS IT ME WHO
TOOK THE PAST AND
REINVENTED ALL
YOUR CRIES
WAS IT ME WHO
SUFFERED MORE
ALL THE BLOOD STAINS
ON THE FLOOR
DOESN'T MATTER ALL
THE SAME CAUSE IT WAS
YOU WHO WAS
TO BLAME
NOW FOLLOW ME
TO YOUR DEFEAT!
Game over
We couldn't take it anymore
Game over
How could you kill us more and more
The silence was pure
But the blood
Was always yours
Game over
Begin the clocks that kill your time
Game over
Summon the cyanide
No more fears
Inside these tears
You're all that remains
Inside of our
DOMAIN
Do you remember the
Corruption long ago
Getting ready for the show
Getting ready to blow
Closing off the cry of phantoms
Darker times in the asylum
Brought you to the brink of
Madness, let the party come alive
Maybe the only reason
We were left alone
Was the calls on the phone
Telling lies right to the bone
Hope was nothing more than
Dreams, nothing left to redeem
Couldn't care about the obstacle
Your soul is all we want tonight
WAS IT ME WHO
KILLED THEM ALL
WAS IT ME WHO
TOOK THE FALL
WAS IT ME WHO
STOOD BEHIND THE PHONE
AND ANSWERED TO THE CALL
TO THE CALL
WAS IT ME WHO
BURNED ALIVE
YOU'LL FIND OUT
IN NIGHT FIVE
DOESN'T MATTER
ANYMORE
IN THE END
WHAT WAS
IT FOR?!
Game over
We couldn't take it anymore
Game over
How could you kill us more and more
The silence was pure
But the blood
Was always yours
Game over
Begin the clocks that kill your time
Game over
Summon the cyanide
No more fears
Inside these tears
No mercy for
The darkness near
Our dying grace is
To remove you
WITHOUT A TRACE!
LET THE BLOOD
BATH BEGIN!
Let the silence break
As the night soon fades
May the chimes of light
Wade through the cracks
And harmony sustains...
The children still trapped
Their tired minds
Have snapped
They made you
Believe in peace
But the fools are
Just the same
We just want to
See you in
PAIN
Game over
We couldn't take it anymore
Game over
How could you kill us more and more
The silence was pure
But the blood
Was always yours
Game over
Begin the clocks that kill your time
Game over
Summon the cyanide
No more fears
Inside these tears
No mercy for
The darkness near
Our dying grace is
To remove you
WITHOUT A TRACE!
DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!
Riot reabsorbed back into Twilight. "Oh, whatever", I said.
