"Right when Alita was brought back home, she was in a deep slumber in order to restore Venom's strength as well hopping he be able to regrow up to his full strength. During the sleep they began to share each others dreams, Alita was able to see V's memories as she saw him in a massive battle between Nova as well the rest of his species. She saw fire as well her fellow ERM comrades rushing up to Zalem, there was explosions as well all types of fighting going all around her. Though this had no effect on her as she was with her squad rushing up to the metal pipes trying to get to the city, right near the top one of them warned them of something coming after them. Alita, taking cover saw a spinning metal blade circle at them as it began tearing half of her squad apart, shooting down the blades it let to a fiery explosion as it destroyed half of the beam making it get destroyed in half. Seeing this, Alita rushed upwards to the other side as she leapt over to someone that was able to catch her as it was her mentor. Grabbing onto her hand, the cyborg girl looked at her friend as she had a tired as well exhausted expression as Alita felt she couldn't last longer, "Finish the mission, cut the dragons head off." instructing her as she got back up to continue the mission. It soon fades to Venom looking at the city, his kind was getting slaughtered left to right as well running away from the battle while for he was merely standing his ground combined with a host. Lashing out at Nova's machinery he kept going until one of them blew up in his face making him remove himself from the body, though he looks up seeing metal and building coming down on him as he soon saw nothing but darkness."

Morning had come at the clinic as Alita, who was right now meditating with Venom who was still trying to get his strength back. Meanwhile, Ido as well the others were keeping a eye out for anything coming to the building feeling like Vector's hired help or possibly centurions coming over to end it all. Jerry and Leela were there as well was standing by Alita to see if she would come out of it due to her being at this for the whole night and morning.

Jerry: "She's been like this since we came in, hope she comes out of it."

Believing she might not wake from this as Ido, who walked over wanted to explain to the teenagers of what was happening to her as well the symbiote that was still in her.

Ido: "Chiren was able to give Alita a serum that will cool down Venom due to the massive heat damage that hurt him, the cooling systems is now relaxing the two of them in a resting like status. I don't know when they will wake, but we can only wait to see what will happen."

The doctor explained to the two as they merely felt worried that Alita might not wake up, Leela was holding buddy in her arms as he small dog merely because the small pup was worried but he's owner. Leaping out of her arms, the small animal went over as the dog sat in her lap to give her comfort which somehow during the dog relaxing to her. A small like black hand came from her shoulder which looked like a small hand, it began to pet the top of his head as Buddy began barking to Alita as well like her face as somehow the excitement of him began to wake up the girl as she looked at the three.

Alita: "Oh, hey guys."

Greeting them with a small smile as the two friends rushed over and hugs her relived that she was ok as well back to normal. Alita, hugging them back as she felt relived about them being safe as well here with her.

Leela: "Your so lucky that you survived that race. Half of the crowd lost their minds when they saw you take on those hunters, their going bat shit crazy."

Reminding her of what happened last night as Alita looked a bit confused of what she meant, Jerry thinking she might have forgotten due to how much fighting she has been in. He soon pulls out a small recorder which showed people freaking out as well shouted for Alita being able to handle those motor ball racers who were hunters in disguise.

Alita: "Woah, I guess there won't be anyway to not draw any attention."

Ido: "I think it be best to stay hidden for a while, with what's happening we should leave the city before anything else happens."

He instructed making it sound like a good idea while with everything happening, Alita was going to protest to that idea since Nova would be hunting them. Though the two quickly got interrupted by Jerry's phone beeping, the boy looks at it as he looked shocked at what he saw on what was happening.

Jerry: "Guys? I think skipping town will be a bad idea."

Offering them some word of advice as the two looked curious about what was going on, Jerry puts it on the screen for them all to look at as they were witnessing something horrifying. They saw Vector, dead as well having no brain and eyeballs suspended on the wall of the factory as well blood and oil on the wall which had a warning on it for almost everything to see.

"Nova will fall, we shall rise!"

Most of the people were evacuating as well making sure they stay away from the factory, while the four looked at the disturbing sight. Venom, within her began to realize about the brutality was a familiar being he met.

"Riot."

He spoke within Alita which had her tense up that the name made her shocked as well ready to fight as well make sure whoever had the name keep it away from her friend.

Alita: "Who's Riot?"

"Riot is the one that taught me how to be brutal as well a pack leader of the symbiotes. If he is here, he will most likely go to Nova before us."

He began to speak within her which made the black haired girl got up as well look serious, the others saw the expression on her face knowing she might go after whoever did that.

Ido: "Alita, this kind of sight is the work of a symbiote. Now for what you have faced, it has become easy for you due to how skilled you are as well being swift. But this is a creature that has no morality, it will kill you on sight as well smile at it."

Alita: "How's it different from Grewhiska? If whatever this Symbiote is doing this, it will lead to everyone to be hurt. And I won't let this happen, this creature might have powers and abilities that can tear apart Nova's robots. But he doesn't have the one thing that counts."

Telling him as soon enough, she walked over to grabbing her Damascus blade which soon ignites to a light blue flame which made everyone back away as she held onto the handle.

Alita & Venom: "We are not going in alone."

The two spoke in unison as she placed the blade on her back as Alita merely rushed out of the window as well began to head straight to the factory to face off against this creature.

Jerry: "I don't think we should worry about them, with how much time they've spent as well them being in perfectly matching. They might survive."

Estimating of her survival of going up against Riot while Leela merely sighs at what he said trying to sound confident.

Leela: "Jerry, although I like you helping me out with understanding some things that can help me get out of trouble. Thought that shit, can lead to stuff not happening perfectly."

Explaining about the jinx he spoke as Ido, merely breathed in deep still believing she could do it as well hope she could end this nightmare once and for all.

Later

Leaping from rooftop to rooftop as Alita was merely talking to Venom of what was happening as well how dangerous Riot was while what will happening if the symbiote would win.

Alita: "So there more of you on earth? Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"Because I thought Nova was lying, but if that is true. Riot will contact them and bring them here, if he wins then the city as well it's people are doomed."

Talking about his kind would rampage through iron city, devouring and taking humans apart one by one which would be a living hell for everyone in which no one would be able to stop them. Alita, still feeling strange about them going after Riot she had to talk to Venom about this if he would turn on her during the fight.

Alita: "If were going to stop him, then I need to know if you have my back. Because he is one of your kind, and if we are going to do this. Then I need to know if you can do this without getting afraid."

Responding to him in a stern like manner as they stopped at the sight of the factory where they saw the corpse of Vector still handing in front of the building. As Alita looked up noticing the smashed windows as well that of the destroyed centurions around the building, Venom was calm as well controlling his symbiote traits as he began to think of the right words to say.

"The only thing I am afraid, is if I lose you. On my planet, I was considered weak due to how wasn't able to do shapeshifting like my fellow kind have, but now that I am here. With you, I can be more as well you can, in order to do that I must do the one thing that has held me back. Kill the symbiote that lead me into becoming a monster."

Speaking to Alita as the cyborg merely smiled at him as she soon leapt towards the wall of the factory in which her hands became black as well claw based as she began to wall climb up the surface of the factory. Rushing upwards she soon leapt up in the air and crashes down through the glass arriving in the office of the now deceased Vector, though instead of seeing the Riot which Venom had warned her. Alita soon instead saw Pan, who's face was still cut in half as well sitting on a chair while looking at her with a smile.

Pan: "Well, I see your looking much better after a goods night rest. As well, having my sword."

Speaking at her in a devilish like tone as Alita merely kept her poseur not letting his talk get to the both of them.

Alita: "I see the wound I gave you is still there, thought that you would heal it so that you wouldn't look at your reflection."

Talking right back at him to catch him off guard which did nothing as he nodded to her, he got up slowly as well touching the table looking at Alita noticing her eyes ready to take him down.

Pan: "Yeah, funny. But ugh, I don't pay attention to those comments anymore. After all, we do now enjoy the new face we have now."

With his eyes becoming white like, soon Zapan slowly transformed into Riot as Alita moved back as the silver symbiote merely snarled at her as well showed it's teeth at her.

Riot: "You are the one that has fused with Venom, the whore he has chosen."

Talking to her in a foul tone which Venom quickly took over as he took Alita's place looking at him not showing any signs of him backing away noir staying within Alita.

Venom: "Do not, call her that."

Riot: "Venom, what you have done is a disgrace. You could have killed Nova within days but what I have seen. You have allowed her to take over you as well mated with her."

Pointing at the black symbiote like if he was a outcast of his species which Venom, feeling the words hit him merely faded away due to how coldly Riot treated him back home along with him trying to bring out his inner monster.

Venom: "Yes, I have. Unlike you, I have changed into more than a killer. We are both killers from our own kind, but the one thing we will kill for is to protect the people we care about. In which, we shall not let you destroy this city noir this world."

Declaring his side in protecting Iron city along with Alita as Riot, who seemed displeased with the answer merely growled in a angered like tone has he extended his long razor sharp fingers.

Riot: "Then die."

Which soon his arms became long blades, Alita noticing this soon took control as she moved Venom's body away from Riot's sword attack as the two kept dodging as the black symbiote stretched his fist punching Riot through the wall. Though a silver tentacle grabs Venom and drags him along as the two continued the fight, Riot was going to stab him in the chest until Venom's chest became a mouth which ripped off his tentacle. Making a fist he uppercuts Riot as well lands a few punches onto his face, Riot merely dodged each one as he back hands the traitor and slams him against the wall, Riot's right hand became a spiked fist as he soon begins to bash Venom's face in. Alita, feeling this takes control of his left hand and punches Riot's stomach in which Venom, gets free and grabs the back of Riot letting him up in the air and slams him into the ground. He stomps on his head as Riot as getting annoyed, he soon shoots out small silver blades from his back making Venom move back as it hurt a lot.

Riot: "You have a strong host."

He spoke towards how skilled Alita was during the situation was as Venom, healed his foot injury as he looks back at the silver creature.

Riot: "But not strong enough."

In which his two arms soon became axes as this was going to be more difficult than ever, Alita merely thinking that this wasn't going to end this had to change.

"Venom, we can't win this if were fighting like him. Symbiotes rely on their strength and shapeshifting. We have to change it up, you have to trust me."

She told to Venom as he didn't understand what he meant, though he see's Riot in mid air doing a spinning attack with his axes as Venom merely leapt backwards as he lands on the wall. Riot growls as he shoots his axes and silver razor sharp tendrils at him as Venom did the same move Alita did back in the underworld, spinning passed the tendrils though with a new feature. Venom's muscle like body began to shrink to Alita's size as letting her get passed the tendrils in which Venom was now Alita's size.

Venom: "Got you!"

Speaking right directly at Riot in which he sucker punches his face flipping over him as Riot's arms and tendrils retreated to him, Riot looks at Venom who was now Alita's size as well now looking like him as this was more horrifying to look at.

Riot: "You even now appear as them, you are nothing to us now."

Venom & Alita: "We are much more than you can ever be."

Speaking back at him in unison as Riot slammed his arms into the ground shooting out silver spikes from beneath their feet as Alita flipped up to the wall which she stretched out a metal beam and slams it behind Riot's head. Using her small stature against the symbioses size, she continued to land punch after punch making him move back as well used some of his shapeshifting to make her fists enlarge as well side kick him to the ground. Riot letting her attack him as he soon back handed her at the wall as he was growing tired of this, he goes over to the security pads as well begins to activate the centurions around him. Coming out of the walls was the machines recognizing Alita as a threat while Riot wasn't, the creature merely leapt upwards to the rafters as she looks at him making his escape.

Riot: "You could have join us Venom, you will be missed with the new symbiotes that will engulf the planet."

Responding to Alita being trapped by the gun sentries as they locked their guns on her, the cyborg leaps up into the air as well knew she had to get this done before Riot would escape to head after Nova. Pulling out her blade, the symbiote moved away from it making Alita hesitate from V reacted as she began dodging the speeding bullets shooting at her as she quickly took cover.

"Like we've said before, fire is a weakness."

Alita: "Right, maybe it be right to use this on Riot. Better get this done before Riot makes this city his."

Responding back to Venom as she soon flips up backwards over the machines and begins cutting them down left to right as well removing their legs. Stabbing them in each of their heads, Alita looks up and notices Riot making his way up to the metal pipes. If he was able to make it to Zalem as well finds and kills Nova, there be no stopping him from making everything his. Quickly doing a massive leap towards the beam, Alita began to rush after Riot as the silver symbiote notices her which lead him grow long metal blades from his back which got him angered by her coming here. He turns to face her as he merely stops in his tracks, the two symbiote users stood face to face towards another as they were ready to end this fight between them. Both of their faces soon removed slowly showing Alita's and Pan's face, exposing them to each other to speak towards them before they would end it all.

Alita: "Pan, don't let him control you. He's using your anger to get to Zalem. If he succeeds, we all lose as well have everything we know taken and destroyed."

She tried to convince him to not continue this madness to ending the city as well everyone living in it, Pan however kept a silent expression on his face as he merely looked at her in anger.

Pan: "You took, everything from me the moment you stole my face. For me, I have nothing. But rage."

Responding to her plead as Riot's face soon takes over as the silver symbiote changes his hands to two chain like spiked balls as he begins swinging them around her in which She flips away. Venom going over her face, he takes control and backflips away from the weapons as he soon leaps right at Riot as the two began to attack one another like animals. As the two continue to fight, from above the building was Nova watching the two symbiotic creatures trying to kill one another as he notices something. The more conflict they were putting to each other, the more they were becoming violet to the point to where the white haired man could see both Alita and Pan punching each other trying to prove which of them was the strongest. He found it amusing seeing how they kept fighting as it was something he could use for his experiments, to spice it up a bit he begins to issue a command on his pad to activate the security defenses on the pipe. The two continuing to keep hurting each other, Venom felt something underneath his feet as well heard something coming towards them, Alita looking she remembered it quickly which allowed Riot to sucker punch her.

Riot: "Now, to end this."

Speaking towards he as the stronger symbiote grabs her and slowly begins to absorb her along with Venom, Alita tried to fight her way but Pan merely kept her hold as the more she resisted the more she was wrapped up in the symbiote she be in. Soon enough Riot and Venom had become one, the creature looked seeing massive spinning blades at him in which Riot placed his hands on the tube in which several tendrils shot out from the metal tearing apart the spinning blades coming at him as he was able to tear it apart. Riot, now feeling more powerful than before began to rush over to Zalem nearly inches away until he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Riot: "What, why can't I.."

Before being able to finish, his chest was feeling like it was on fire which out of not his knowing. The damascus blade shot right out of his chest which ignited on fire. The reaction to this caused his flesh to burn as he tried to grab onto it but the blue fire burned his hands. Slicing him wide open, Alita and Venom leapt upwards from his body as this had to end with him dying. The symbiotic cyborg began to deliver strikes left to right with her sword burning most of him off as well not letting him escape as Alita remembered that this pipe had fuel in it, stabbing him straight into the ground while still on fire. She used Venom's strength to rip apart a open tear in the beam as it sprayed fuel on Riot as well her feet.

Riot & Pan: "You, two are nothing more. Than traitors...To your own species."

The two speaking at the same time as Venom merely smiled at the two barley at their full strength as he walked over holding the blade looking down at them.

Venom: "No, we are our own kind."

In which Alita activated the blade more making Riot's body full erupt with fire which lead to the oil to get ignited, quickly rushing out it became a fiery explosion destroying both Riot and Pan while for Alita. Holding onto her blade she puts it on her back, the two were falling downwards to the city as it seemed there was no way to survive this fall. Venom, however knew there was a way as he began open his hands open spreading wings as they allowed the two to glide towards somewhere to land. Looking over at a building, Venom increased his size so that Alita wouldn't feel the fall as they crashed onto the rooftop as well crashing hard through it hitting the ground hard. Alita, begins to open her eyes as Venom slowly began to return back into her which meant he couldn't keep going due to how much punishment Riot gave him as she merely breathed tired like.

Alita: "You, never told me, you can fly."

Telling him exhausted from the fight as she laid her head on the floor unable to get up as she was enjoying the solid ground as well nothing else trying to kill them.

"New ability we got, from our. Bonding~"

Which lead to Alita merely looking a bit surprised as well chuckle a bit at the joke, though right now she was unable to get up as Venom merely covered her legs helping her up as this was much better than using her own.

Alita: "I guess, we win."

Thinking now that it was over, though she looks up at the half destroyed pipe which it was still there standing. However she felt Venom still angry at Nova as well him getting out of this like a rat, merely taking the meal as well watching the show.

"No, Nova is still alive. While he lives, this will never be over."

Responding to Alita which merely made the girl take a moment to remember from what her mentor spoke to her, they still needed to cut the dragons head to end this battle.

Alita: "I know, but for now. We get stronger, which in the best way to do that. Is something we both know how to do it."

Showing a small smile as Venom merely walked the two of them towards back to the clinic so that they could get some rest as well hopefully, find a way to head to Zalem as well end Nova.

A few days after the fight between symbiotes, at the motorball stadium in the locker room was Leela and Jerry, which the two were wearing black jackets with some words on it as they read 'Lethal Angel' which was the name of the team they were on. Around them was gear which was designed for her to race across the tracks as well protect herself, the crowd was getting restless as they wanted to see their favorite motor ball racer.

Jerry: "Man, the crowd is getting rowdy."

Leela: "Well, if I learned their was a symbiotic cyborg racer here I'd be getting excited. Let me try to contact her, maybe she's getting something for her and V."

Suggesting the fact that their hunger has gotten much bigger lately, so they most often go to small stores to snack on some meals that would help them get pass from time to time. Leela tried to contact Alita as right now, the black haired cyborg was walking across the street with her symbiotic black jacket as well walking pass some citizens that didn't notice her from the game. Right now she was talking to V about things needing to change such as their killings as well protecting others.

"What do you mean I cannot kill bad people?"

Alita: "Although I agree they should be punished, they still should be incarcerated as well imprison so that no one will get hurt. So far you eating their heads off have left a bad taste in my mouth."

Referring to his hobby of biting off the criminals heads as she was somehow able to get the after taste from it.

Alita: "Also, the time we can eat people is if person is very bad people. Such as Grewhiska, he was extremely bad so I'd be fine if you ate him. Agreed?"

She asked hopping he agree with her in which there was silence in which Alita waited for a response from her alien boyfriend.

"Fine, we can try to accept it. But can we get some food before heading to the game? Otherwise I will have to eat something more, juicy~"

Talking about her in which she merely smiled at how animal like he acted as Alita walked over a small stand to which she purchase a small chocolate bar for her and Venom to eat. Though, they notice a man mugging a woman while holding a blade as the man dragged her into a alleyway.

"Bad guy?"

Alita: "Big time..."

Answering his question as she decided to check this out to see if the woman needed 'assistance' with the problem she was having. Right in the alleyway, the cyborg mugger kept continuing to mug the woman as she looked petrified with how robotic and terrifying he looked. Threating to stab her, he gave her a countdown to see if she would comply, he started from one in which it shortly ended with a black tentacle latching onto his arm in which was soon ripped off. The cyborg screamed in pain as the two saw Venom, walking over to them as he grabs onto the man's neck looking down onto him.

Venom: "If you ever try that again, or try to harm any innocent person that lives here in this city. We shall find you as well eat both of your arms and then both of your legs, as well rip your face off your body."

Threatening him as the woman stood still not moving while the cyborg mugger looked petrified at this was the same monster that killed Grewhiska as well other cyborgs that went after him.

Venom: "You shall remain alive after we eat your face, so when people see you. They will see this armless, legless and faceless body, lying in the street as well rolling when there is a storm coming. Like a turd, in the wind."

Smiling at his small joke which the man kept looking frightened by what Venom was speaking at him.

Mugger: "What the fuck are you?"

He asked in which soon enough he got his answer, Venom's right sided face opens up showing Alita's face as the two looked at him together.

Alita and Venom: "We, are Venom."

Speaking in unison as his face covers hers, though knowing that this criminal would try it again towards another civilian. He bites off his head off, throwing the headless corpse in the dumpster he hands the woman back her bag in which he does a friendly like smile. The human soon leaves not looking back at her monster savior as he changed back letting Alita come out.

Alita: "So, feel full now?"

"Yes."

Answering her in which she soon left the alleyway as well walked towards the stadium to continue their motor racing so that they could take on Nova, it will take a while with many competitors that will do whatever it took to head upwards to the floating city. Even with whatever was going to come her way, she would have Venom backing her up as well the rest of her family to help her out, she was never going to be alone anymore again. She would be protected by their love, as for Venom, they would be this city's protector from any kind of threat Nova or any other creature would come their way, no matter what form it took.

Meanwhile

In a metallic like laboratory, machines were right now doing scans as well scans of a certain container full of a substance that was moving around radically. Walking inside of the room was Nova as he had a emotionless like expression on his face, arms behind his back he walked inside looking at the scans on the computers as well the container which held the organism.

Nova: "Status."

Requesting from his systems as a pad was handed to him in which he began to look at the readings of the organism.

"Readings show it's vitals are stable but highly volatile, unable to place security defenses onto it."

The system spoke to him as Nova walked over looking at the liquid moving around as it was moving around violent like, being red and black it continued moving around trying to break out as it was unable to. Attacking the glass which Nova was in front of, it was electrocuted due to it's attack though the red and black liquid retaliated by ripping the weapon up. This reaction made the scientist smiled in a cold like manner as this kind of sight had him interested in this act.

Nova: "Continue the experiments onto it's reactions, as well how fast it reacts underneath hostiles. We will move unto ridding it of it's weaknesses."

"Understood, though you have not given this project a name. To continue research, the subject requires a name."

The system telling Nova as he looked at the substance closer as it looked unstable, radical as well not willing to let Nova continue it's studies onto it as it would surely lead to consequences.

Nova: "Seeing as how it is giving quite a attitude, such like it's predecessors. I believe, the best name to give this project, would be Carnage."

"Granted, Project Carnage will now initiate."

Hearing it as this was the turning point of Nova's experiments, whatever would be coming after him. He would be armed with one of the most violent and unstoppable creatures he once tried to kill in the past, though with the threat of the symbiotes still lurking around in the shadows. He would need his own monster that would serve him, as he knew a angel and devil from Iron city would coming after him.
