Planet of the Symbiotes

(5 days before the symbiotes arrived on Earth)

After their defeat at the Battle of the Bands, The Dazzlings had lost everything. They lost their magic, their singing voices, and perhaps even their only way to go back to their home of Equestria. However, their fate would soon shine brightly upon them one day.
This day began like any other in the life that they had, going from alleyway-to-alleyway scrummaging for any scraps of food that they could find to survive.

Sunset Shimmer, while she was heading home from a day at Canterlot High, noticed the three sisters in the alleyway nearby. Even though Sunset knew that they had done some bad deeds during the battle of the bands, Sunset felt pity for the three sisters as Sunset didn't like to see them suffer so much, even if they were villains.

So, Sunset went to a nearby gas station and purchased a lottery ticket. Then she came back to the same alleyway and approached the Dazzlings.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT SHIMMER," Adagio roared.

"Hey, don't yell, I just wanted to give you this," Sunset said.

Adagio then noticed the lottery ticket.

"Wow, really, I can't believe how stupid you could be, just handing money to us," Adagio sneered. "I bet it's just a dud that gives us nothing, so you can laugh at our misery some more!"

"Don't just assume that I just don't like seeing you suffer so much," Sunset honestly said. "I'm sorry we made you live like this, and I'm sorry that shattering your Gemstones took your voices away, so I just want to give you this as a sort of apology."

"Hmph, whatever just give it to me and get out of my line of sight," Adagio said as Sunset continued her walk home.

Adagio then opened the ticket, as there were six numbers on the ticket.
12,27,9,33,14, and 55.

"Wow, I bet when they announce this on a Tv, it's not going be those numbers," Aria scoffed.

"Don't act like that Ari, what if we do win," Sonata said.

"Oh, just shut up Sonata, and leave me alone," Aria said as she went into a corner of the alleyway so she could get some rest.

"Yeah, Aria's right," Adagio murmured. "Just face it Sonata, we're never leaving this dirty dilapidated place."

Sonata's face was saddened after hearing Adagio say that, as she skulked to another corner of the alleyway.

Before Adagio could leave, she then heard a tv from nearby.

"Alright folks, this is Canterlot Mega Millions, and we are here to present this week's lucky numbers," The tv announcer said.

Adagio then walked closer to where the television was so she could hear what the announcer was going to say.

"The lucky numbers are 12, 27, 9, 33, 14, and 55," The Announcer said.

Adagio looked back at the ticket, she had every single number.

"We won the lottery," Adagio said in surprise. "What's the grand prize for winning?"

"Alright, for those who had at least four of our lucky numbers, they will win 250 thousand dollars," The Announcer said. "For those who had at least five of our lucky numbers will gain 15 million dollars."

"Ok, but they haven't said what the grand prize is," Adagio said to herself. "What could be higher than 15 million dollars?

"And the winner who got all six of our lucky numbers will receive the grand prize of 1.5 billion dollars," The Announcer said.

"1.5...Billion...Dollars," Adagio murmured to herself as she was frozen in shock. "Me and my sisters...we're rich...we're filthy stinking rich."

Adagio then told Aria and Sonata about what just occurred. Both of them were overjoyed that they could live in a nice comfortable house and not have to sleep on the dirty concrete of that alleyway.

However, they had to pay the majority of the money to the government through many taxes, which left them with 200 thousand, but that money was enough for them to buy a house with all accessories to match, it wasn't as fancy as a mansion, but at least it was comfortable and there was a bedroom for each of them.

Adagio knew that all that money wouldn't be with them forever, so she decided to get a job at a nearby office building. Adagio wasn't keen on working in an office, but she knew she had to do it to bring them food and to keep a roof over their heads. And after a while, Adagio was actually getting good at her job. And she was getting paid 30 dollars an hour. And her personality was starting to change as well, with her magic, she always got everything she wanted through her gemstone, but now that the stone was powerless, she now had to learn about doing hard work, and she was benefitting because of it.

And speaking of the gemstones, Adagio soon realized how addictive its magic had become and how it turned them into emotion-sucking parasites, so Adagio told Aria and Sonata that once they have gotten rid of their gems, they are going to Sunset to thank her for everything.

Aria protested that throwing away their gems would make them impure and that she would never forgive Sunset because she was in the wrong.

Then Aria said that she would rather live in poverty than be stuck in a house with two idiots like Adagio and Sonata.

Adagio, in a rageful fit, said something that she now regrets, yelling at Aria if she really thought that way, then she shouldn't live with them anymore. Aria, hurt by her words left without saying another word.

However, Aria is about to have a new best friend, and this new best friend is about to spread some Carnage.

(Meanwhile, back at one of the Alley-ways at Canterlot Central, in the present day)

Aria Blaze was sitting in a shelter she made from a cardboard box, sneering and cursing at her sisters for leaving her for dead.

She had started to have negative thoughts about strangling Adagio or setting Sonata on fire.

"WELL, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, LET'S BUTCHER THE BITCHES," A mysterious voice said, startling Aria.

"Who, who said that," Aria asked, looking at nothing but a dirty wall.

Then Aria saw a blob of scarlet red goop that was right next to her.

Then the goo started to rise as it took the form of Aria's face, but demented and twisted looking.

"The names Carnage sweet-cheeks," Carnage said. "So, who do you wanna kill tonight?!"

"What do you mean kill," Aria asked.

"What I meant to say is how do you wanna kill those sisters of yours," Carnage gleefully said.

"Why would I want to kill them," Aria said. "I mean, I may not like them, but I don't want to kill them."

"Why not," Carnage sincerely asked. "Doesn't it just make you feel so happy inside when you take someone's life or shed someone's blood?"

"What are you saying," Aria asked. "You must be completely insane if you think that I'll agree to this."

"Boring, you're too sane and rational, sane and rational people are just so boring," Carnage moped. "Well, don't worry, Carnage, your new best friend, is about to fix all of that. Time for you to take a little tour inside my head, and soon you'll be thinking what I'm thinking."

Carnage then put one of its tendrils into Aria's skull and soon, Aria would be having a front-row seat into the blood-soaked mind of Carnage.

When Aria woke up, she saw that she was in a red hellscape full of seas that were red like blood.

Then 12 separate beings, all being Carnage emerged from the red sea, all laughing maniacally.

"Step right up and explore the insanity," Carnage hollered gleefully.

Aria then saw 8 wooden pikes each with a dead body impaled on it. The pike that didn't have a dead body were labeled as "future victims."

"Do you see what I see," Carnage bellowed as he sang a piece of that Christmas song. "No one thinks of this, that's why there are such dull little pictures. When there's a person with puddles of blood all over and them screaming for mercy, it is a sight of pure beauty."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA, MURDER IS LIKE A WORK OF ART," Carnage shrieked with glee. "BLOOD IS MY PAINT, AND A DEAD BODY IS MY CANVAS! AHAHAHAHAHAAA!"

"We're not just going to slice off those two squirts, we're going to paint the whole city red, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!" Carnage bellowed.

"Pl-Please stop...just st-st-stop," Aria said as she was quivering in a ball, feeling as if her mind was breaking apart.

"Oh c'mon, stop struggling and just give in to the madness," Carnage whispered. "It's not like those sisters of yours ever cared about you anyway."

"Now, give in give into madness, to chaos, TO CARNAGE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," Carnage roared in insane glee.

Suddenly Aria stopped crying and started to giggle in psychotic laughter like a child.

"YES YES YOU'RE DOING IT, LET ME BOND WITH YOU, LET US BOTH REAP CARNAGE TOGETHER," Carnage cheered.

Then it went back to the real world as the Carnage Symbiote was enveloping Aria's body completely.

"There is no more Aria Blaze...and there is no more symbiote, together, there is only...CARNAGE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!" Aria roared in psychotic laughter as she then escaped from the drenched alleyway, ready to paint Canterlot City crimson.

(Meanwhile, at the Canterlot Mental Hospital for the criminally insane).

An orderly was finishing his evening rounds, as he was checking in on the patients.

"#007 Check, #008 Check, #009 Vacant," The Orderly said in a dull tone of voice.

Suddenly, the orderly saw that someone was in Room #009.

"Huh, we weren't told of any new arrivals," The Orderly said before the cell door opened, making him trip onto the floor.

As the orderly got up, he saw the figure stand up and wave its body from left to right like a rag-doll.

"Wh-What are you doing in here," The orderly asked.

"I was feeling a little screw-loose, so I checked myself in," The Figure said in a raspy yet demonic voice.

"Who are you," The Orderly asked.

The figure got out a note-card that had the word Carnage written in blood on it. "My card."

Then the figure approached the orderly while laughing maniacally, as Carnage's arms turned into long claws ready to slice into the orderlies flesh as he begged for mercy before he was ripped apart blood pouring everywhere.

Now, in Canterlot City, the carnival of Carnage was about to begin.
