"Yessss, we will have no problem getting in. Lead the way, o gracious hossst!" the symbiote hisses, the belt around Drew's waist shifting slightly in either excitement or anticipation.

Drew snorted. "That sounded a bit sarcastic, Venom." The man continued his walk, heading uphill, a man on a mission. "But at least I know that you are on my side."

The symbiote smiles, a small tendril poking up and curling near Drew's shoulder. It sacrifices a bit of its own energy to give Drew a boost, a minute amount of adrenaline causing the host to feel more energetic and powerful.

After a few minutes, the symbiote spots a silhouette on the horizon. "There. Look. What is it?" it asks Drew, feeling concerned.

Drew frowned, looking at the symbiote and frowning. "I do not know. But be ready. It could be hostile."

((Sure, Felyne! I don't think anybody will mind.))

((Ok, Thanks. I'm just gonna start out in a random build.))

Josh stepped out onto a patio of a partially destroyed house. "This is never good for me." He takes (took if past tense) out a sawed-off shot gun. "Find something good upclose, but I would have preferred a pistol." He loads in 2 rounds. "Might as well be prepared."

Giving a silent nod, it curls protectively around Drew, before returning to the belt.

The figure stops, seeming to peer out at Drew, standing still for a moment. It is impossible to determine the size of the figure, not at this distance.

A flash of light envelops the figure, bright enough to cause Drew to blink. Once he opens his eyes, only a plume of smoke remains.

"Run." the symbiote demands.

Drew frowned. "Why?" He asked, having frozen mostly in fear. "What is that thing?"

"Huh," Josh says as he sees a truck,"Maybe good supplies in there." He walks over and trys opening the door. "Locked." Then he slams the sawed-off against the door, and the lock breaks. "Nice." Josh opens the door. "Only a bottle of water. Better than nothing."

The symbiote takes control, engulfing Drew in a black miasma of muscle and power. Venom sprints away, running far from the danger.

"We do not know. But it is bad. Has to be." it says, sounding tired from their quick journey. Venom surveys their surroundings one final time, revealing a small farm and a gas station. It peels back off of Drew, leaving him exposed. It forms again back into the belt, gleaming menacingly in the dying rays of the sun.

Drew frowned, a bit shocked at whatever the heck Venom had just done. "Fabulous. Creepy thing." He panted, eyes wide.

"Can we eat?" it asks, having used a good portion of its energy to run over 15 miles to the nearest city.

"Hehe. Maybe I can cause a distraction to anything near by," Josh says as he rigs the truck to blow up on impact with something. "Here we go," he murmured as he pushes the truck time bomb down the hill towards a farm house wall.

As the violent explosion rocks the side of the barn, causing most of it to collapse, the symbiote once again engulfs Drew. It leaps to the roof of the gas station, peering down at what seems to be a man watching the barn burn. It growls, not knowing if this was the same creature they witnessed earlier.

"Huh? What's that?" Josh says, seeing something next to the barn, "Well I'm not messing with it." He walks away, looking over his shoulder at the burn barn. "Heh. I didn't believe it would work."

A feeling of anger flashes through Venom, having just watched someone destroy something for fun. Someone had built that barn, perhaps someone was even still in it.

Someone might be in it.

Venom gives a mighty leap, landing out of sight near one of the doors of the barn. It looks inside, seeing only fire and fallen wood. No movement, no people.

Choosing not to risk getting burnt, it begins to follow the man. It was easy enough, he moved slow and in plain sight. But Venom was faster, yes, and sneakier.

Josh stopped and closed his eyes for a moment, the quickly turn and fired his sawed of at a random undead that had strayed to close. "Hmph." He notice something in the corner of his eye, but moved on, reloading the sawed-off as he went.

Venom watched from above as the man killed one of the undead. It was confused as to why the man did not care about sound, the dead were attracted to loud noises. Perhaps he wanted to die? Or was this the creature from before, a being of great power? Would it have answers or only bring death? It was too dangerous to go and ask, so Venom decided to follow silently, watching the man's every move.

"Score!" Josh says excitedly as he see a partly broke down military truck. He walked up to it and opened the back door. "M4 suppressed. Not to bad," Josh said, picking up the rifle and 3 full clips. "Some food. That's good. And a half used med-kit. Nice." Then he riged the trucks engine to blow after 2 minutes, plenty of time to get away. Finally he walked away, looking around as he did.

Silently, the symbiote watches. Silently, it plans. The weapon the man picked up was little more than a squirt gun, that was not a concern. But the bomb, it had to be dismantled. But if they diffused the bomb, they might lose the man.

It was a risk, yes, one that we will take.

Landing with a thump, it dashes over to the truck. Thinking fast, it rips the motor from the truck, cutting off any electrical wires in the process. Fuel and other mechanical fluids splash to the ground, and the symbiote leaps back out of danger.

It turns to where the man left, and sprints until he finds the man. He stops short, pulling himself out of view.

2 minutes already. Josh thought as he walked down the road, Why hasn't it explode? He turned around and caught the sight of something slithering to the darkness of the forest. "Odd..." He took out a small bottle. "I'm glad I saved this," He said as he threw it in the creatures's direction. When it hit the ground, the bottle shattered and bursted into flames.
