Ten minutes of swinging through the forest for the symbiote trio have passed since they chased the other two that led them to a village where Luna and Anonymous stayed. As they came to a stop, Christina finally put down her boyfriend as he was wrapped in her left arm while she was swinging with her right.

“Hun, before you say anything I wanted to say I’m sorry for holding your neck like a common animal. I’m very tired and didn’t think things through.” Christina apologizes with her head down, not looking at Rook.

The symbiote trio finally stop from a random direction but not too far from the village. As the three standing about. One by one they went back looking normal.

Rook stood up on his hind legs to stretch while looking at his lover and closed his eyes by following up with a sigh. “Just please you won’t ever do that again, alright?”

“Of course, sorry again.” Christina continued not looking at him.

“It’s alright hun, I forgive you. Anyways, should we make camp or a nest? Whatever it’s called up in the trees Chris?” Rook look at Chris who’s been quiet half the time ever since they arrived in this universe.

Chris was looking up and around not paying any attention towards the other two.

“Hmm? Oh..y-yeah. Would you mind helping me out making it? Took me almost an hour last time. But then again still getting used to these powers.” Chris looked at Rook then above while rubbing his head.

Rook noticed how Chris was acting distant and didn’t say much of anything, so Rook didn’t bother him just yet. He needed to talk to him to see what’s the matter. But for now, making a miniature home and getting some rest before the next day sounds good to him.

“Sure I’ll help, Chrissy, would you mind staying right where you are?” Rook said while standing up.

“Sure, just don’t leave me here all alone in a dangerous forest.” Christina crossing her arms in discomfort.

Both the males look back at with a what the fuck look.

“Sis...you’re a mother pigeon fuck symbiote. No reason to be scared.” Chris annoying pointed out.

“Yeah, but still. I’m still human, you know. There are places and things that just make me uncomfortable. Anyways, just hurry up.” Christina rolled her eyes at her brother.

“Yeah..yeah, one house of a web of dysfunctional family coming right up.” Without changing into his symbiote form he uses his webbing with one hand to shoot high as possible and takes off. Rook follows suit thinking of what to say. There going to be alone, should he speak while making a safe space near the top of the trees or wait?

”I’ll just wait after the nape. As soon as we get up, I ask a few questions that’ve been bothering me.” Rook thoughts going through his mind. Conflicted with what questions to ask.

Didn’t take too long to make a temporary home. Chris kind of knew what to do but it was Rook’s first time. So both of the boys decided to wing it. Throwing webs all over the place. Few times Chris got himself tangled in his own webs. A lot of the time Rook would swing right into not his but Chris’s webbing to.

“Sshhiiitttt!!!” Chris yelled while he was falling down and destroying each branch he came into contact with. With a loud crash into the ground he slowly stood up.

“I’m alright Rook! Nothing broken!” Chris yelled towards the symbiote German Shepherd. “Hey sis, our bad for taking so long. It’s our first time making something like this. Plus from that...fifty maybe more high up then that fall didn’t hurt at all.”

Christina watched the whole thing. Branch after branch being snapped in half as soon as her brother made contact with each one of them. Needless to say she was a little shaken up. But as she watched him get up and brush himself off she relaxed but only for a second. “Fucking damn it Chris! You scared me! Be more careful or I’ll sink my claws into your kneecaps! Fuck! J-just be more careful..we know we’re hard to kill but to what extent? We really need to figure this shit out.” Christina pacing back and forth.

Sound of crunching leaves and twigs came behind Chris. “Phew, had me scared there Chris. But glad you’re alright. Hey babe, it’s finally finished up there. Lets get some sleep.” Rook smiled, feeling quite proud of himself for building something for the first time.

“Yeah...yeah, that sounds wonderful.” Christina sadly said.

“Hun, is everything alright? You’re acting kind of scared right now.” With his smile gone he was more concerned about his mate.

“No, i’m not alright.” Christina said with a sigh. “I know we are symbiotes. Pretty hard to kill but watching my only blood, my brother falling from such height that should’ve killed him made me scared.” At the moment she was beginning to cry. “I don’t know what I’ll do if anything happens to Chris or you Rook. I-I..I’ll probably go ballistic. I really do believe I go insane.” Christina bent down and put her head between her knees.

Chris looked down at her, knowing her words struck him. He would go insane if that would ever happen. Without any words to bring out of her funk he simply went by her side to be at her level. He wraps one arm over her shoulder and brings her in a tight hug. He thought of something to at least calm her down. “I love sis, and I won’t be leaving you for a very long time.”

Rook sat on the opposite side from where Chris was sitting. “Don’t worry hun, gonna take alot to get us killed.” He nuzzled the side of her face. Bringing his head to the side of hers he softly whispered to her “How about we get some sleep? I promise you feel better.” Christina just nodded her head without any said.

The three of them got up (Rook on standing like a human) to look above them. Rook looked at his mate and kissed her cheek. “Finally some shut eye.” Chris raised his hand and shot out his signature red web up above. As Chris being in the lead he can’t help but feel bad what was in his sisters mind. For now though he talked to her later.

“Here we are! Black and red webbed home sweet home. Well..until tomorrow anyways.” Chris scratched his head not to sure what else to say.

“Took at least thirty minutes to finish this. Spiderman made it look so easy to swing and do tricks with his webs. We really do need training to get the hand of things.” Rook tilting his head to the left while talking to Chris.

With a loud yawn coming from Christina “Less talkative, more sleepy.” She picked a random spot from the web home. “Night.” That’s all she said before passing out. Both the guys looked at each other and shrugged.

3 Hours later

Rook slowly opens his eyes and sees Christina staring at him. She lightly pinches Rook’s chin and pulls him into a kiss. The meaning of the kiss was just passionate. No tongue or moans, just two lips meeting together. They broke the kiss and put their noses together.

“Morning you two, if you wondering what time it is I say nine a.m. Since we saw the sun barely coming out after we chased that pony and griffin.” Chris announced. He stood up while few bones popped making him moan. “Ohh..fuck me that feels good.”

Christina was sitting indian style with one hand covering her mouth while yawning and the other rubbing her eyes.

Rook was sitting on his haunches looking at her with a half smile. He then looked at Chris. “Hey Chris, can we talk?”

“Sure, what’s up?” After his morning routine of bone popping goodness he sits down waiting what he has to say.

“Been meaning to ask you something and Christina too.” Not sure of himself of how to begin, he took a deep and came out of it. “You’ve been acting distant Chris. Then being quieter than usual. Is this because of Flurry Heart?” Rook didn’t raise his voice in any given way. He simply wore a worried face becoming more worried and confused for him.

Chris went wide eyed for a moment from the questions he was receiving. Then slowly turn his head away from Rook. The memory of what happened. The look of betrayal and disgust.

“I haven’t really noticed anything unusual but now Rook brought it up. You were acting quieter than usual.” She added her worthless two cents.

“I need to talk to you too hun. There were few questions that were bugging me since it was just the two of us in another universe. But wanna know what’s going on with Chris first.” Rook said while side-glance at his mate.

“O-oh, ok..are you mad at me love?” Christina looked at him with a worried look

“No I’m not hun. Just want a few answers to be clear. Who knows, we might understand more about ourselves. We do need a talk though, if we are going to be together for over a thousand years we need to talk to each other. We might have arguments time after time. Or even fight each other but we need to stay strong. Not to lose ourselves in emotions or bloodlust.” Rook looked at Christina with a genuine smile with his tail wagging. “We need to keep our sanity and at the same time lose it.”

“What do you mean by that?” Chris looking at Rook clearly confused.

“This might sound ridiculous but we need to go insane every now again. But knowing not to lose ourselves in the process. There are alot of bad guys that go on power trips. They lose their sight of reality to stay focused on their troops or army. They couldn’t adapt to their own sanity. In a nutshell..we need to act like Discord or Deadpool.” Rook face pawed himself for not noticing how horrible that came out. “That was horrible but you get what I mean. Just need more control of ourselves when we go on a killing spree.” Rook finishing.

“Sooo...just have little more humor and personality then Nicolas Cage?” Christina joked.

All three of them looked at one another, then shrugged.

“Sure”
“I’m ok with that”
“Meh”

They said said simultaneously

“So Chris, are you really ok with what happened?” Rook not missing a beat flat out asked Chris.

“Only if you guys tell me what happened to you two when we got separated.” Chris bargain. Rook only nodded without a word.

Chris ran his fingers through his caesar like hair. Only doing this for comfort.

“I don’t know what to feel about Rook. Disgusted? Horrific of what I did? When my sister and I wanted to be these villains. We thought it was going to be easy. They’re just ponies after all. Yeah they talk and think like humans but at the core their just ponies. Easy to scare, lie, corrupt, hell even to have sex with.” Chris was smiling when he talked about an old memory. His smile faded away briefly.

“But the short amount of time of being there, they were wonderful. Amazingly I had so many friends in a matter of weeks. Tried to psych myself up for Flurry. Telling myself just get it over with and see sis, Rook again. The day finally came when Flurry was born. Held her in my arms and I just couldn’t do it. Father always said when we were hunting “Never take away the mother’s baby son.” Chris tried to impersonate his father. The voice he tried was low and gruff. He tried to mimic his dad’s country voice.

“There I was holding a child, a fucking child. I didn’t see Flurry a pony anymore. I saw her as a human.
Twilight saw me crying for a different reason then the others. She knows about humans more, so she picked up why I was crying. She put two two together and asked Cadence what her name was. The gig was up for me, I had to kill the kid. The looks on their faces when I sink one sharp claw through Flurry’s face.”

Chris put one hand on his face and began to cry. “Just wanted to get it over with, then at the same time to know what it would feel like to kill.” He sniffed with his hand coming down. Chris looked at his sister then to Rook. Christina had her hand over her mouth with tears pouring down her face. Rook with his eyes close has his head down trying not to cry but failing.

With a couple of deep sniffs and breaths. Christina and Rook got up and hugged Chris. “Even though we’re supposed to be villains Chris and we’re not supposed to cry. It’s understandable, we are still new of being the villains we were supposed to be. Rook, would you mind telling him what happened when we separated?”

Rook rubbed his snout then sniffed. “Sure, so..we finally got to Equestria but Christina got her right arm blown up from protecting me right before the Merchant’s foam hand exploded.”

“Wait..that happened to you as well? I got my left arm blown off. I didn’t feel anything when we were in outer space. Once I was in Equestria I was on the ground yelling.” Chris was focused on Rooks story and completely forgot he was a teary mess.

“Happen to you too huh? Let me guess..you use the canister to heal up?” Rook asks with an eyebrow raised.

“Yeah, so what happens next?” Chris putting the tale on track.

“Right, after Christina got healed we came to find out we were at ponyville. Christina found out real quick because Twilight’s home stuck out like a sore thumb or a big sting to a K9’s muzzle.” Rook began to bring one of his back paws to scratch his neck.

“Anyways, it was night time and Twilight’s home was lit up. We looked to see any ponies walking about but it was clear. We look for a good place to eavesdrop to know what timeline we’re in. Come to find out Twilight and her friend were there talking about her brother about having a wedding in two months.” Rook was now blushing along with his fast pace tail wagging. Christina took over to share the embarrassment.

“Since we found that out we just went crazy with sexual experiments. Exploring each other all over others ches-

“DON’T NEED TO HEAR THAT! JU...just..I get it. Please move on.” Chris was about to fall off where he was but it wont be no accident.

“R-right, sorry about that. Anyways, the days went by so quickly. Ever so often we check on ponyville to see if they are going to the train station since we lost track of time. Because..you know..sex.” Christina said the last part as much sultry as possible. To make Chris suffer of course.

“Ok sis I get, you getting booty and im not. You win, please move on.” He has to admit, he was jealous. He needs some bootylicious to cummzies.

Christina giggled at Chris’s misfortune not having a piece of ass. “Right, days went by and we spied on what’s going on. Lucky for us we saw the gang leaving with their things. Thanks to the Merchant we were stealthy. No sense of smell or noise could be detected from them. We got on the train with no one looking. Now..getting inside the castle was a bit tricky. Broad daylight was not helping us.”

“So how did you guys get in?” Chris ponder

“We didn’t need to, Shining was outside waiting for Twilight. Chris, what you experienced was far worse then what we went through. Babe, would you mind telling the rest?”

With a deep breath Rook finished the story. “We waited outside underneath the train. We wait for an opportunity to hunt down our prey. We bickered back and forth quietly. How do we strike? We go in normal or symbiote. We hear Shining say “Follow me” once he gets his back turned along with the others. Christina got out underneath, shot out a web at Shining that got attached and pulled him to her. She was straggling Shining with her bare hands. Shining didn’t know what the fuck was going on.” Rook stopped and took a breather before continuing.

“As Christina was straggling him I looked back at the others. Twilight was screaming brother at the top of her lungs. Mind you we were not in symbiote form. The others just stood there. Every single one of them just stood there. Besides Twilight, she was using whatever magic she can think of to toss Christina off. She even charged at Christina but I simply got in her way, put one paw on her chest and pushed. She went flying a few feet until she again used her magic yet again to stop.”

Rook went to Christina to lay on her lap. In which she was still in indian position. “They were not used to death, all they can do is just stand there. I look back at Christina. She was laughing and crying at the same time while Shining was way past dead. Took at least five or six minutes of choking a dead guy for her to come to her senses. Told her sweety “Let’s go, our job is done. Let’s talk about this later.” Christina’s left arm became engulfed in blue flames. She opens the portal and the rest is history.”

“Twilight’s friends just stood there?” Chris confusedly asks.

“Yeah, you would think when trouble starts immediately they jump in before asking questions.”
Rook tilted his head in thought.

“Guess write that off as a multiverse thing.” Chris suggested. “So, is that all you wanted to ask?”

“Two more things I wanted to say. One of them is what will it take for you to finally come to terms being a killer and let loose?” Rook curiously asked.

“I have a guess what it will be but let’s hear bro.” Christina was betting on a certain game he liked.

“Good question, if coming to terms to finally feel comfortable of who and what I am. I would have to be in the Fallout universe. Love that game a lot, usually after the end of the game I usually go on a rampage. Always thought it was funny.” Chris chuckled at some of the memories he had.

Thanks to the Merchant, Rook understood what Chris was saying. All Rook could do was chuckled alongside Chris. “Last question, Should we kill any or all heroes? Especially Anonymous ones?”

The word kill was becoming less and more less important to them. Just another word hunt.

“You know what? Let’s do it. We can take turns every multiverse we come across. I lied my first through. Christina asked for the human version of Flurry and you Rook wanted us to be non-talkative beasts. Next time it’ll be me next.”

“Sounds like fun! I can’t wait to see what happens next! Hahah!!” Christina was actually happy about the idea. A game of sorts for her.

“Yes..just you wait Anon we have an excellent wedding present for you. You can say it will be...EXPLOSIVE! Mwah..mwah!! Rook finally losing himself in madness

“Guys! I feel an evil laugh coming! It’s going to be magnificent! Here it comes…

“Shurorororo..” Chris mimics laughter from an anime show. He even went as far as making his tongue stretch wide and long. Thanks to the symbiote he made that possible.

The others went wideye with shock, they snapped out of their trance and sat side by side against Chris. Rook and Christina pressed their cheeks against Chris’s face and laughed along with him. With the laughter and tongue.

“SHURORORORO!! WE’RE COMING TO GET YOU ANON, SHURORORORORORORORO!!!
