The Birth of the Symbiotic 7: Part 1 of 4: Arrival of the Symbiotes
Twilight Sparkle was busy going through all her things as it was almost time for the final bell to ring. Then suddenly, she heard an important bulletin on the Tv.
(As The News Reporter says).
We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming for this important news update. As you all know, there have been a lot of strange phenomena occurring as of late.
There have been multiple reports of unknown blobs of goo being spotted across Canterlot City, as of now the origin of these blobs of goo remain a mystery. Clean-up teams are at this moment having a hard time cleaning up the blobs of goo.
More will be known as the story continues.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
Twilight was walking home from school when she heard a strange rustling in a nearby bush.
"Hmm, maybe it's just a squirrel scurrying in the bushes," Twilight thought to herself.
However, her thoughts were interrupted when the rustling in the trees continued.
Twilight, curious, set her backpack next to her so she could bend her knees down so she could better investigate the source of the noise.
However, while Twilight was looking around, she didn't see a purple blob of goo slither out of the bush and into the smallest compartment in her backpack.
"Hmm, I must have probably scared it off, whatever it was," Twilight thought as she stood back up and put her backpack back on.
Twilight then continued her walk home, unaware that she was carrying a surprise visitor in her backpack.
Later that night, Twilight was busy tinkering with some tech in her laboratory. Twilight had always had a habit of staying up late to tinker with something.
However, her drowsiness was starting to get the better of her, as her eyes were starting to get heavy, and she was doing everything she could to not pass out from exhaustion.
Eventually, she had finally given in to her exhaustion as her head rested on the worktable. Twilight was fast asleep as she was snoring. She had gotten so sleepy that she had forgotten to take off her glasses.
Just then, the purple blob of goo started slithering out of her backpack pocket and onto the floor of her laboratory.
Seizing the perfect opportunity, the blob then slithered onto Twilight's leg, making Twilight stir a little from the cold sensation.
"Mmm, Sunset, your skin is so cold," Twilight murmured in her sleep.
Once she had stopped moving and continued snoring, the Symbiote had slithered onto the top of her back and then started to seep into her skin.
It continued this until it was completely out of sight.
The rest of the night was silent and peaceful.
The Next day, Sunset Shimmer was in her Biology class, paying attention to what the teacher was telling them.
"Ok class, today we will be talking about the biology of Symbiosis," The teacher said as he went through a power-point presentation.
"You see class, Symbiosis is a term in biology that best describes any kind of relationship or interaction between two dissimilar organisms." The Teacher said.
"For example, Jackals and small animals sharing the same water supply, or Both wolves and bears hunting the same prey in their habitats, or parasites such as Fleas and mosquitoes feeding on the blood from other organisms." Mr. Mays said. "These are just examples of how the effects of Symbiosis can work.
"Alright, for today's lab assignment, you will all be paired in groups of two to test the effects of symbiosis
"Um, Mr. Mays," Moon-Dancer said. "Where is my lab partner, Twilight."
"Oh yes, about that," Mr. Mays said. "I heard from her parents that Twilight has fallen grievously ill and won't be able to come to class for the next three weeks."
"Don't worry, Moon Dancer, I will be your partner for today," Mr. Mays said.
"Twilight ill," Sunset thought to herself. "That doesn't make any sense, yesterday she was perfectly healthy the last time that I saw her."
After school was over for the day, Sunset gathered the rest of the girls to tell them what was going on with Twilight.
"Wow, Twilight Sparkle, Canterlot High's biggest egg-head, missed a whole day of school," Rainbow said.
"It's unlike Twi to miss a day of school," Rarity said.
"Hold on, I'm going to go call Twilight and make sure that she's ok," Sunset said. "I heard from my biology teacher that Twilight was grievously ill."
Sunset then dialed Twilight's Phone Number, and when she responded, she sounded like someone was on their last legs.
"Mm...Hello," Twilight said in a groggy tone of voice.
"Twi, oh thank goodness you answered, we all have been very worried about you," Sunset said with a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for the good words of comfort," Twilight murmured. "I don't know why I'm so sick, at least I'm feeling a little better after getting something small to eat."
"I think I have a high fever," Twilight said as she was checking her thermometer, which said 100.1 degrees F.
"Well, I'm glad that you're feeling a little better," Sunset said.
"Yeah, I just feel really hungry right now," Twilight said.
"Hey Sunset, is it ok if you could spend the night at my place," Twilight asked. "My parents are going to be out of town for a business trip and they didn't have enough money to hire a Baby-Sitter."
"Why, of course, I would love to spend the night with you," Sunset said as she got on her Motorcycle after waving goodbye to the others.
(Meanwhile, on that same night).
"Hungry," Twilight murmured in her sleep.
Sunset was asleep on the living room couch.
"We need sustenance," Twilight murmured. "This pain is hurting us. We must feed."
Twilight's eyes shot open, and it was as if Twilight was under a hypnotic trance, or it was like something was controlling her mind.
Twilight then quietly opened her windowsill, making sure that the window did not make any kind of noise so that it wouldn't wake Sunset up.
Then when Twilight was outside, she started walking toward the Canterlot Plaza.
"Hello there, miss," The Store Clerk said. "What can I do for ya."
"Hungry, need to find food," Twilight murmured to herself as she completely ignored the clerk and started walking towards the food aisle like a zombie.
Twilight started getting various food products such as pizza, Mozzarella Sticks, Sausages, and Chicken Tenders.
Twilight tried to walk out but a voice in her head said, "Stop," Twilight then stopped.
"Pay for the food first, then we can leave," The voice said as Twilight then moved robotically towards the register to pay for the food.
As Twilight was walking out with the food, she then sat down on a bench and started eating the food she bought.
Suddenly, Indigo Zap, Sugarcoat, and Gilda appeared out of nowhere and started harassing Twilight.
"Hey there loser," Gilda said. "What is a loser like you doing at this time of night."
"Go Fuck yourself, your stupid bitch," Twilight said even though it was like something was speaking through Twilight. "We don't have the patience for your banter, so shut up and go away before I bite your head off."
"What did you say," Gilda roared as she tried to punch Twilight.
Twilight began to change as purple tendrils enveloped her whole body. Twilight then sank her teeth into Gilda's fist as her teeth turned razor sharp, biting Gilda's hand clean off.
Gilda then screamed in agony as she tried to stop the bleeding.
Indigo and Sugarcoat could only watch as Twilight was now turned into a complete monster.
"You bit my hand off, I'll sue you," Gilda said.
"No, I don't think so," The Monster said as she then grabbed Gilda's other hand. "If any of you notify the police about anything that has transpired tonight, we will find out and we will find you, and then we will bite your heads off next."
"Twilight, please stop we're sorry we'll never bully you again," Indigo said now in tears.
"I'm sorry, Twilight's not here right now, she's busy counting Z's," The Creature said. "Call us, Gluttony." Gluttony said. "Now buzz off, so we can finish our meal in peace!"
"C'mon Gilda let's get out of here and take you to a hospital," Sugarcoat said as they left while Gluttony reverted to Twilight's form as she continued to eat her meal.
Twilight returned home and after quietly closing the window she got into bed and her eyes closed once again.
"Sweet dreams, my Host," Gluttony said while Twilight continued to snore.

The Birth of the Symbiotic 7: Part 3 of 4: Home-Cooked Carnage, Aria Blaze: A Siren No-More
(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.
