Birth of Arrachniss

Crawling, oozing, it was the only way the symbiote could move. The alien organism was angry and desperate as it moved through the cracks and dark alley ways of New York, like a worm through a big apple. Finally, it arrived at the apartment belonging to Peter and Mary Jane who were fast asleep. "Will Parker take me back?" it asked itself. He would have to, as the thing prepared to bond with the man known to the rest of the world as the amazing spider-man. Suddenly, a thought occurred to the puddle of black goo. Why not Mary Jane? The symbiote had some memories of her being strong, and open-minded. Whomever the creature choose, it would have to be soon because there was only a certain amount of time it could survive without a host.

At last, it decided on Mary Jane. The goo hoisted itself up on a bed post and attached itself on to the woman's feet. "Yes," it hissed, "finally, a host!" It crawled up her legs, and within moments it had covered all of her but her head. "Now the fun part," it thought. First it covered her mouth, then was inside her nose and finally covered the top of her head.

"Eieeeeeeeeee!" screamed Mary-Jane. She looked around. Her bedside clock said 2:18 AM. Even though she could see almost nothing, her apartment looked normal. Relaxing, MJ wondered what had awoken her. She remembered having a perfectly normal dream when suddenly a dark shadow had covered her body. "Just a dream" she said to herself. Getting out of bed, she went to the fridge for a snack. As she passed her bedroom mirror, she let out a shrill scream for the second time that night.

"Eieeeeeeeeeeee" screamed Mary Jane Watson Parker. In the mirror she saw a figure completely covered in black. She could not see her face; hair or any part of her body. "Didn't you do that already tonight?" a voice in her head asked.

"What!" the now confused woman yelled.

"I said didn't you do that already tonight?" the voice repeated.

"Who are you? Where are you? What have you done to me?" Mary Jane was panicking. "My apologies," answered the mysterious voice. When MJ looked at her reflection again, she saw herself wearing her nightgown with her face revealed. "To answer your questions, I am part of the alien known to you as the venom symbiote, and you can hear me because we've bond-"

"Venom? Get off me!" Mary Jane immediately started pulling at her "nightgown." However, it would not come off. "Just give me one night, and if you still hate me at 9 am this morning, I'll leave willingly," the symbiote offered, "now let me show you how good it is to have an other half"

(Three hours later)

"All you have to do is put your hands against the wall and pull yourself up." The symbiote said.

"Alright, I'll try"

MJ was now learning to use her new powers from her new alien passenger at a construction site not too far from her apartment. So far she had mastered super strength as well as changing her clothes at will. Now Mary Jane was being taught to climb on walls. She reached out both hands and tried to pull her entire body up. Without looking down, Mary Jane placed both of her legs on the wall too. She began placing one hand in front of the other, slowly moving up the wall. "Yesssss, she is learning," the symbiote thought to itself. Mary Jane would make a perfect host. Although she would not outwardly admit it, the symbiote knew she loved having these powers.

"Wow, I can climb walls!" Mary Jane's comment interrupted the symbiote's thoughts.

"Now try standing up"

Mary Jane gingerly began to stand up. A few seconds later she was standing upright on the wall.

"This is amazing!" MJ exclaimed excitedly.

She did a back flip off the wall. Suprisingly, she landed on her feet.

"We will be able to do many stunts like this when we have fully bonded"

"Fully bonded? Whats that?" Mary Jane asked

"It is the next stage of life as a symbiote. After it is completed you will be able to to change shape. We will become one being. If we do not fully bond in the next 48 hours I will have to leave."

"Then why are you bonding with me instead of Brock? I thought you were fully bonded with him." asked Mary Jane

"The rest of me is," answered the symbiote, "I am simply a fraction of the the venom symbiote. I left him because he was stupid and did not use me to my full potential. Now we should start web slinging"
