"We have been called many things since we have arrived to this world, a weapon, a monster and most of all a stranger to everyone around us. Though there is only one thing we will ever be called, and that is Venom. In the beginning, I was nothing more than a Klyntar or formally called a symbiote, a alien species that can attach to a host and become one. In which we are the strongest, fastest and most of all deadliest to all races in the galaxy. The way we travel is by meteors, a few of us go onto one and are sent across galaxies to arrive on planets for us to conquer. However, this was different, when we arrived on this planet the creatures call "Earth". We were taken by a man with blue eyes, he and his machines tried to destroy seeing how we were a threat, I however managed to survive but was sent hurling into the ground where I was trapped underneath one of the man's machines. Though this did not kill me, but only made my anger towards the blue eyed man greater as I would soon tear him apart with my bare hands. Once I find a host, though I do not know how or when I can find one, all I know is that once I get my opportunity. I shall kill the blue eyed man, and eat his brains!"

Underneath the area of Iron City was the depths of the underworld, within the bowels of the ruined buildings as well the destroyed structure of the old civilization was the black living substance Venom. The creature was able to survive to having bonding with a few small rodents and creatures around him, though they were weak to the body he needed, he was right now scurrying across a hole to where he was eating a few bugs and other rats that tried to attack him. So far the creature had enough rat brains for one month, it was time to escape this dark hellhole and find a host to exact his vengeance. But when? Most of the rats here weren't that strong to climb up to the surface and he couldn't use his black liquid to move around, he would get spotted as well be killed on sight if anyone spotted him. As he begins to think of many ways to escaping this darken prison, he hears the faint barking of a strange like creature. Venom scurries over to it as he found a small like dog, the light blonde canine had it's right leg wounded as it was bleeding and unable to move.

"Aw, it's hurt. I should eat."

Thinking about lunch before his plan as his carnivorous like personality was taking over as the smell of the blood and dog was quite intoxicating towards him, though he stops for a moment seeing how the dog could be his ticket out of here. The dog had a much bigger body to allow him to fill him as well jump to area's as well access them where rats couldn't go. The symbiote rat scurries towards the dog to where the small canine turned his head at the rat as it soon begins to bark at the vermin.

"Do not fear tasty looking thing, we shall not eat you. Yet."

Telling the dog as the black slime oozes towards the dog as he soon begins to heal the small dogs leg, it lets out a painful like howl as his leg begins to heal. His pupils changes to white as Venom had full control of the dog. Standing on all four legs, he looks around and notices a hole that showed a bright like light. Doing a grin he soon leaps towards it as he scurries through the hole, jiggling his body through the hole he makes it out to where he looks around. Having being in the underworld for too long made him sensitive to the light as he notices the bright sun looking down on him.

"To bright!"

Roaring to himself as he scurries to a table to where he didn't look at the sun, his new eyes adjusting to the surrounding he looks around as he looks at the one thing he had always wanted to see. Hosts! tons of individuals that were walking all around him as the symbiote was stunned at how many they were, finally being able to look around in the day he walks from the chair and see's the people walk around him. Venom, soon enough notices something off with each of them, they all had prosthetic like body parts as he looked confused. Did having these body parts made them weak? This was no good, he was going to have vengeance against the blue eyed man, he needed a host that can be able to take his power as well had strength to spare.

"So bright, so pretty. Must not to be distracted, must find a host and kill the blue eyed man!"

Thinking about the main plan as he soon begins to walk, as the small like symbiote dog begins walking around he happens to notice how everyone was living out their lives. Each of them were walking around together smiling as well doing small jobs that revolved serving food to the public, all these new smells as well food had his stomach growling in a monstrous manner since it's been a while since he had actual food. Having no sense of control he notices a chef like male with a robotic like arm cutting up some meat and steak, Venom having his nose catching the scent. He leaps towards man's table and begins to eat it all, the man looked surprised by this as well angry at how the dog acted.

"Hey you mutt! Get the hell off my table!"

Shouting towards the dog as Venom soon lets out a fearsome like roar, though it was barking since he couldn't transform yet. The chef whistles towards some men to take the dog as Venom merely growls, seeing how he can't fight them in this state he quickly grabs a small steak and runs away. The men chases after the small dog as Venom was feeling the rush of running, his heart pumping as well his senses coming back, the symbiote merely laughed as he continued to run.

"Running in a regular sized body, tasting meat, causing trouble. This is what we were made for!"

Telling himself as he soon accidentally trips on a rock and drops his steak on the ground, he was going to grab it until he notices the men coming after him. Growling to himself he could have stretched a black tentacle but couldn't seeing how he didn't want to alarm anyone of his power. He then runs away towards a street to where he was able to get away from the men, breathing in and out his stomach began to growl as he got hungry again. Turning his head towards the smell as well what the food was, walking over to a street he looks around to who or what the food was. Looking around one last time, he notices the person that was eating the fresh like food. It was a black short haired woman, she had light brown eyes as well had white hands which meant she wasn't fully human. The girl was also wearing a stiped long sleeve shirt as well some pants as she notices the small dog, the two looked at each other for a small second as she stood up looking at him as she soon walks slowly to him.

"Hello there. You want some?"

Asking in a friendly like manner as well showing a sandwich towards him, Venom did not know why she offered him food. No other human he had met in the past was this friendly, though threw the scent of her hands was she wasn't exactly human, not thinking about it for too long, he begins to chew on the sandwich as the girl merely smiles at how he ate it.

"She is kind, does not seem violent like other humans."

"Can I hug you?"

She asked interrupting his thinking as he turns at her, continuing to eat the sandwich she slowly hugs him as Venom was shocked from this kind of expression of feeling. Looking up towards her, the only way he could compliment her for the food and hug was by licking her face a couple of times as she giggled a bit. Petting his head a bit, the two didn't notice that of a robotic like machine was walking towards them as she soon looks at it.

"Step aside. Out of the way."

The robot spoke in a harsh like tone as the girl soon gets into a battle stance, seeing this pose she was doing made Venom interested as the look on her face was that of a fighter. Though a man pulls her out of the way who was wearing glasses as well had white hair, Venom growled at the man but more at the machine since he remembered that it was the same one that attacked him and his fellow kind. He begins to bark towards it trying to intimidate it as the girl quickly does a perfect tuck and roll move towards Venom which then covers him.

"She protects us? Even though she has just met us?"

Thinking towards her as the machine soon passes them as the girl stands up holding the dog as the old man looked concern as well serious about what had just happen.

"What was that?"

"A centurion, sentinels that hunt criminals or arrest people. Don't try to stand in front of one, they'll consider you a threat."

Sounding like a father towards her which Venom thought was odd since they didn't look the same, he notices the small dog as the girl holds him close seeing how she like him.

"Can I keep him?"

Asking in a polite and innocent tone as the man merely shook his head towards her.

"Alita, I don't think that you.."

"Please Ido? he's my new friend. I'll take care of him."

Trying to persuade the man as Venom saw her trying to convince him, seeing how she could be his new host. He adds to her plead by pouting towards Ido which made him feel a bit guilty seeing them looking sad towards them. He sighs at them and places his hand up looking at the which meant he was about to give a answer.

Ido: "Alright, but he's your responsibility. Understand?"

Alita: "I will, thank you."

Sounding grateful towards him as she hugs him while holding Venom, seeing how Ido had the bags of food they soon begin to head home as Venom merely got comfortable in Alita's arms as he merely smiled that she would be perfect. They soon arrived to Ido's robotic workshop as Venom soon wanted to leave Alita's arms as she lets him go, he walks around checking out the area as the symbiote dog looks at the outside porch as he soon notices a massive like city that was floating in the air. Soon enough he begins to growl at it seeing how he began to remember that the structure reminded him of the blue eyed man lived there as he begins to bark at it.

Alita: "What's wrong boy?"

Asking her small canine friend in which she walks towards him and picks him up, looking at the floating city she turns her head and looks at Venom as she then rubs his head.

Alita: "You want to head to Zalem to? I want to go there to but we can't. Not yet, hopefully soon enough."

Explaining about the floating city as Venom merely growled at the thought of going there, Alita takes him towards her room to where she places him on the ground. He then heads towards the window to where he could get a perfect view of the town as well the people. Alita smiled at how the small dog was fascinated by the town as much as she was, though soon enough she heard Ido calling for her as she sighs.

Alita: "I got to go help with Ido. I'll be back with some food."

Telling her new companion as she gives him a quick hug as she soon heads out to check out on what he needed from her, Venom however watched her left as well begin to notice something more than just a friendly cyborg girl. That possibly she could be more than just another host he had used in the past before coming to earth, Alita will be the one to help him kill the blue eyed man. He was thinking to far, he needed to first see if she could handle him combining with her. Not just a simple bond like the dog and small rats he has been with, but a strong connection between him and her. Once that it could be settle, he along with her would be unstoppable as well able to face anyone. Though he would have to wait seeing how he was still getting some of his old strength back, he decided to merely stay in his dog host until the time was right.

The stroke of night had come as right now in the home of Ido, the young cyborg was asleep as well looked peaceful in her sleep. Venom, in a small bed that he was given was asleep as well. Though his eyes had woken up showing his white pupil eyes, he slowly stands on his two legs looking around as he notices no one was awake which was the perfect moment.

"It's now or never."

Suggesting towards himself as he then hopes on a small box as well towards Alita's bed, gently walking towards her while she slept he looked at her peaceful like face as she slept in a deep slumber. Venom, who loomed over ever merely turned his head at how a cyborg could look at peace with what she was, focusing on what he had to do. He was about to place his paw onto her head so he could travel into her and bond with her, that was until he heard the door close which caused Alita to wake up looking at the dog onto of her.

"Shit!"

Venom cursing towards himself as Alita was curious of why he was on top of her, she didn't mind as she pets his head as maybe he needed some comfort since she found him alone on the street with no one to help him. Deciding to get something to eat as well for her dog, she decided to get up and grab some food until she notices something happening at the door. Looking through the crack of the door she notices Ido walking in with a black suitcase as well wearing a dark like clothing as this had her suspicious, though she was noticing the small dog hungry as he was about to howl until she stops him. Sneaking out of her room, the two quietly walked towards the kitchen to where she places him on the ground to which Alita opens the door showing a whole fridge full of food.

"Food!"

He shouted towards himself as Alita grabs the small red bag of oranges along with a few other types of meals for the two as they head back to her bedroom to which they began to eat their own meals. While Alita was eating some fruit along with a few pieces of chicken, Venom however was tearing apart some steak and chicken which was delicious as he hadn't had this in ages. She notices how fast he was eating as she was going to stop him until he lets out a small like growl telling her that it was his.

Alita: "I wasn't trying to take your meal, I just wanted you to relax. You can choke if you eat that fast."

"We do not choke, we devour whatever we.."

Before finishing, he was stopped by her petting his back allowing him to eat the steak smoothly as it helped him. The Klyntar having being embarrassed merely kept to himself as he began to chew on the meat slowly as Alita smiled towards him.

Alita: "I think I'll call you buddy, how does that sound?"

Asking her friend which Venom, who was still eating the meat merely looked at her for a second looks away still eating as she took that as a yes. The two continuing to eat their food, Alita couldn't help but feel like something was up with Ido. What was he doing at this time of night? Whatever it was she had to keep her eyes on him if something was wrong.

In the morning

The sun began to rise on another day as it soon began to shine on Alita, the cyborg girl's eyes slowly awaken as she notices Buddy laying close against her as well the tons of food that was around them. Slowly getting him off her, Alita began quickly cleaning up everything so that Ido didn't stumble upon them and gets herself cleaned up. Later on the two then walk to the living room to where they saw Ido making breakfast for them, Venom was smelling it as he looks at the table seeing some

"Food"

Thinking to himself as he rushes over on all four and then leaps onto the chair and looks at the plate full of bacon, pancakes and eggs. He gulfs it down as the doctor looked alarmed that he was doing so as this wasn't right.

Ido: "No, bad dog! Off the.."

Not having the chance to finish, Venom does a menacing like growl which had him move back as Alita rushed over to pick him up to calm him down. Being in her arms, the food in his mouth began to settle as he soon swallows it as the two looked at the small dog.

Alita: "He was like this when I gave him some food, maybe something is wrong with Buddy."

Ido: "Well, if there is so then maybe I should take a look. Because most dogs can't eat human food, it will hurt them."

He tells her as Alita follows him to his station where he would give Buddy a quick look to see if he was doing ok. Keeping Buddy close, the doctor began to scan his pupils as well see if he was ok, so far he had ate most of the food in the fridge as well had gotten a bit heavy. Deciding to do a quick scan, he activates a machine behind him as it releases a high pitch sound, the sound caused Venom to howl in a enrage type way as he begins to bark at the machine which Alita holds him so he could relax as Ido shuts it off.

Alita: "What happened? Is something wrong with his ears?"

Ido: "No, maybe there's something wrong with the scanner. It needs a few more parts, maybe you should take him out for a walk."

Suggesting a idea to Alita which she nodes to that request, grabbing a leash as well getting Buddy ready. The two soon head out for a walk while leaving Ido with a questionable look, the machine wasn't making that loud of a noise, noir a dog couldn't be in pain since most of them had high sense of hearing. He should keep a eye on the dog, having a strange feeling towards what Alita's new pet was. All the while for Venom, still had plans for Alita as she was the key to his vengeance. For now he would see what she was capable off along with watch her movements to see if she would be his host.
