Peter's eyes widened. "Six?! That's, like, three more than I usually get!"
"Make it work, Spidey."
Peter gave a mock salute and ran forward, webbing Venom's face. "C'mon, sliball! Let's dance!"
Dave, anwhile, floated an inch off the ground as magic symbols orbited his body. "Let's see how symbiotes like Magical fire..."
Venom tore the webs off his face with a furious growl, flinging strands of sticky silk to the ground. "You... talk too much, spider!"
Peter flipped over his head mid-air. "And you need to moisturize. Seriously, your skin looks like burnt leather."
As Venom swung a massive claw, Peter ducked under, webbed both his hands, and slingshotted himself behind the monster. "Six seconds, right? I'm buying you seven, Dave!"
anwhile, Dave had both palms raised, glowing with radiant glyphs spinning in his hands like gears of light. The air around him crackled.
[Ignis Caelorum: Fla of the Upper Skies]
He slamd both hands together, and a radiant beam of golden fla surged upward into the sky, before slamming down like a divine hamr onto Venom.
BOOOOOOM!!!
The blast lit up the street, scorching the pavent and sending a shockwave of wind through nearby buildings. Peter was flung back, landing in a crouch on the side of a lamppost, shaking off the daze.
Smoke curled from the crater now ford around Venom, who growled and slowly pushed himself up. His alien skin was blistered and cracked, parts of the symbiote peeling off like burned tar—but he was still standing.
"That tickled," Venom rasped.
Dave narrowed his eyes. "Oh, good. Then I don't have to hold back anymore."
Peter called out, "You were holding back?!"
Venom scread and lunged again—faster, more feral.
Dave moved his fingers in a blur, tracing runes in the air.
[Temporal Displacent Field – Layer One]
A bubble of warped light surrounded Dave and Venom, slowing the monster's charge to a crawl inside the do.
Dave casually walked forward inside the field, reaching Venom just as his claws barely began to move.
"You're strong," Dave said, placing two fingers on Venom's forehead. "But I'm magic with a Magic core."
He tapped him.
[Purge: Corrupted Entity – Tier 2 Cast]
A burst of cleansing light surged from Dave's hand, arcing into Venom's body. The symbiote shrieked as parts of it vaporized—separating from its host, writhing on the ground like black worms. The man inside—Harry Osborn—collapsed, unconscious but breathing.
Peter dropped down, wide-eyed. "That... was insane."
Dave looked at him, breathing steady. "One percent of my power, rember?"
Peter blinked. "Right. So what happens when you're at full power?"
Dave just smiled. "I unmake stars."
Just as Peter was about to crack a joke about Dave's "unmaking stars" line, a deep rumble echoed through the city street. The remaining shreds of the Venom symbiote hissed violently, squirming toward the shadows like they sensed sothing—or soone.
Dave's eyes narrowed.
"That's not good."
From the far end of the block, the ground split open with a sudden crack, and out of the smoke and rubble stepped a figure in an all-black tactical outfit. The symbol of S.H.I.E.L.D. emblazoned on her shoulder armor glead under the streetlights.
But it wasn't just any agent.
It was Agent Shed, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s rumored deep black operative. A na whispered in elite circles. No file. No history. Only a codena.
And she was oozing with sothing not normal.
Her eyes glowed crimson.
As she stepped forward, Peter tensed and muttered, "Wait... she has a symbiote too?!"
Dave responded flatly, "That's no normal bonding. That thing is... too stable. Too synchronized."
A shadowy mass slithered across her limbs like living armor, far more refined and controlled than Venom or Carnage ever were.
Just then, Fury's voice echoed through their comms.
"Neutralize her. She was working on studying the symbiote, but ended up falling into the trap of one," Fury said.
Spider-Man groaned, turning to Dave. "Welco to my life. I never get to rest," he muttered as he web-zipped toward Agent Shed, launching a sharp dropkick straight at her symbiote-clad face.
The impact landed with a squelching crack, the symbiote reacting with a shriek-like screech, its face distorting into a monstrous maw before reforming instantly. Shed was pushed back a few ters but recovered with eerie grace, sliding back into a fighting stance.
"Impressive," she hissed, her voice glitching between her own and the symbiote's. "But useless."
Dave stepped forward, magic swirling around his hands. Arcane runes ignited in the air as he chanted under his breath. "Let's try peeling that goo off you..."
[Spell: Disjunction Pulse]
With a flick of his fingers, a wave of pure anti-magic energy surged toward Shed. The symbiote howled in agony, montarily destabilizing as black tendrils flailed and burned away from her body.
Shed scread and dropped to one knee, clutching her sides as the creature inside her struggled to resist the spell.
Peter landed beside Dave. "Whoa! You're like a walking cheat code!"
"Thanks," Dave muttered. "She's not down yet though."
From the center of the blast, Shed raised her head—her eyes now glowing even brighter, the symbiote's core wrapping around her heart and spine like a parasite refusing to die.
"You shouldn't have done that," she growled.
A massive wave of tendrils erupted behind her, forming into a twisted pair of wings and blades.
Dave glanced sideways. "So... round two?"
Peter tightened his grip on his web shooters. "Let's make it quick. KFC's gonna close in an hour."
"Let's do this." Dave's eyes glowed as he summoned twin arcane blades into his hands, the air around him crackling with raw energy.
Shed, now fully engulfed in her corrupted symbiote form, let out a distorted roar. Twin tendrils lashed toward them.
Spider-Man flipped into the air, dodging with style as always. "You know, for a SHIELD agent, you're really bad at teamwork!"
Dave planted one foot and spun into a wide arc, his blades slicing clean through a pair of tendrils—they writhed, recoiled, then reford.
"She's regenerating fast," Dave muttered, stepping back. "We need to separate her from the symbiote."
