Chapter 62: The Cult of Carnage (Carnage Arc)

(St. Patrick's Cathedral)

The once St. Patrick's Cathedral was now a fortress covered in red goo. Fort walls surrounded it and a laser that lead to sky was emitting from the cathedral. Carnage was surrounded by his followers that were now symbiote controlled. Riot, Scream, Agony; Phage, Shriek and Lasher were at his side as they saw the last two inmate among them.

Carnage: The final volunteers...You ask to be a part of my order?

Inmate #1: With all do respect, Uh....Mr. Carnage. We do.

Inmate #2: Plus we have a score to settle with Spider-Man!!

Lasher: Spider-man? 

Riot: The boy that wears tights of what terrains call: A hoochie momma?

Phage:...That's a striper.

Carnage:.....Come.

The inmates got closer to Carnage. Carnage grabs opposite ends of their cheeks. He absorbs a bit of their life force as he feels both energies.

Carnage: Hmm.....You're both have strong force...I can make you stronger.

Inmate #1: Sweet...

Carnage: This may hurt a little...

Carnage make a deep cut in both of the inmates' cheeks. He then insert a bit of himself into the inmate and the pushes them away. The transform into different forms. One inmate flails his arms wildly and from his sides and back two more arms grow out in a decayed and skeletal-like form as the red goo forms around it. The inmate starts mirror Spider-Man, but as a darker and more morbid image of him.

(Don't Own Art)

The other had horns growing on his forehead as the red goo encased him. Tendrils shot into the ground as the inmate's shoulder blades rip out forming red spikes. His claws form as he rips the red foreskin off his mouth revealing sharp teeth an fangs.

(Don't Own Art)

They roared at carnage as they then kneeled to their leader.

Carnage: Yesss......Doppelganger......and Hybrid....

Doppelganger and Hybrid: Yes...Master...

Carnage: There are two people who stand in our way...Find them and kill them. But leave Venom alive.

Riot: Aww~ Can't get your mind off daddy?~

Carnage: Nothing like that Riot....I'm gonna kill him myself....Now go!!!

The two henchmen scurry off into the city. Carnage watches them run off to search for Y/n and Venom.

Carnage: We march at morning...


(With Venom and Y/n)

The two exit the sewer system to see a beacon of light ahead. Y/n and Venom's eyes widen in shock as they witnessed this.

Y/n: What the hell is that?

Eddie: (In Venom) Yeah, The hell is that?!

Venom: That is the beacon of Klyntar.....

Eddie: (In Venom) Is it a weapon?

Venom: Not a weapon.....A calling card....





(In Space Somewhere)

Somewhere in space, on an uninhabited planet. A man sat on a throne of bones as he was holding a sword while it was in the ground. He looked to the sky and saw a star shine bright. Brighter than the north star. The smiles in the darkness.

?!?!?: Finally.....The Invasion is underway......

(Don't Own Art)

?!?!?: We Will CRUSH THEM UNDER OUR FEET!!!

His followers in the shadows chanted and cheered through whispers as they were crouched and huddled around his throne.

?!?!?: TODAY, IS THE DAY WE CELEBRATE THE STAR OF DEATH!!! OUR EXILE IS OVER!!!!!......SET A FIRE IN YOUR HEART MY DICIPLES!! BARE YOUR FANGS!!!! OUR DAMNATION IS OVER!!!!!




(Back On Earth)

Y/n was chasing after Venom. Y/n was trying to talk to him...Venom wasn't cooperating.

Y/n: Eddie!! Eddie!!! Venom!!!

Venom: WHAT!!??!!

Y/n: If this threat is as big as you say, We have to work together.

Venom then grabs Y/n's throat and pins him to the wall. He then reveals half of his face.

(Something Like This)

Eddie/Venom: Let's get something straight: We Hate You. You Hate Us. There is no "Us"

Y/n: Venom, Are you really gonna let people die because of our rivalry?!? If we work together--

Eddie/Venom: Then my god, The god of the symbiotes, Will kill everyone!!! All because of your naivety...

Venom and Y/n see a quinjet in the distance as it was followed by a fleet of jets.

Eddie/Venom: The problem is escalating. Stay out of way...or We'll KILL You!

The open half of Venom then closes and Venom jumps off to deal with the problem. Y/n then watches as Venom swings off to find out who was behind this.

Y/n: Great, Looks like I'll have to call up a few of my friends.

Y/n then sends out a small message to a select few of heroes to help him. One was sent to Wakanda. Another was sent to somewhere in Queens, While another was sent from the other side of New York.


(Later in Wakanda)

Meanwhile in Wakanda, T'Challa was in the lab with his sister Shuri. Shuri had made a new suit that was an improvement from the original.

(These are the clothes T'Challa is wearing)

T'Challa: This suit you've come to show me. What is it?

Shuri: This suit is still a work in progress, But it is built for more combat purposes.

The Suit was not a bulky as the others but wasn't too small. The seemed like it was more built for being agile and swift rather than multipurpose.

T'Challa: I see. What is this?

T'Challa traced along the suits metal lines. Something new was up with the suit.

Shuri: Try hitting it.

T'Challa: Anywhere?

Shuri: Anywhere.

T'Challa hits the suit and hurts his hand a bit as he shakes it. He looks closely and sees that a blue rim had emitted when hit it.

Shuri: Amazing isn't it? The suit hardens it's outer shell on impact of any attack.

T'Challa: Impressive.

Just then T'Challa got a transmission from someone. It was a spider device that was beeping as T'Challa knew what it meant.

T'Challa:...Shuri, Prepare the Royal Talon.

Shuri: What's going on?

T'Challa: There is trouble in New York.

Shuri: I'll go with you.

T'Challa: Shuri...

Shuri: I can fly you there. Besides, I've always wanted to go somewhere other than the lab.

T'Challa:...Come.

T'Challa and Shuri head the Talon Fighter to head off to New York. The ship takes off and darts into the direction.


(Meanwhile in New York)

Later with in Manhattan, Venom had swung all the way to St. Patrick's Cathedral. They see Carnage and the symbiotes behind him as he walked down the courtyard. He was surrounded by soldiers.

Venom: There he is....Our Offsping...

Eddie: (Inside Venom) Wait, That's your kid?! You are a horrible parent.

Venom: It is normal for Klyntar to raise it's offspring with hatred...

Eddie: (Inside Venom) We call that being negligent and abusive...But what are we up against?

Venom: This guys got shit you ain't ever seen.

Eddie: (Inside Venom) So what are our chances?

Venom: Hmm...Pretty Much '0'

Eddie: (Inside Venom) Fuck it. Let's go save the planet.

Venom jumps down and sprints towards the main courtyard and vaults over walls. He then leaps over the main wall and down into the main courtyard. The Carnage-controlled soldiers mindlessly stare at Venom once he landed. Carnage grimaces at his father.

Riot: Well...If isn't the outlander...

Agony: He forgets his place.

Carnage: Hello...Father.

Venom: You are no son of mine!

Eddie: (Inside Venom) Negligent!!

Carnage: As expected....You're still the worst father any son could ask for.

Venom: If so, Then I won't have problem killing and saving your so called host of yours.

Carnage: So you already know about My companion. Cletus Kasady.

Venom:...

Carnage: This is your last chance. Join me...or You can join his Mother!

Eddie: (Inside Venom) That does it. I'm kicking his ass...

Venom: NO! We won't let you destroy this world...!

Silence looms over them. Carnage signals the soldiers off into the city.

Carnage: Shriek, My love could please lead the War Tour?~

Shriek: Anything for you~

Shriek goes with the soldiers into the city, leaving the seven symbiotes alone. Carnage then grows tendrils out of his back as he rises.

Carnage: So...You have chosen death....We'll make it slow...and PAINFUL!!!
