58 Vs Venom
"I am Venom!"
"Hello, outsider. I am your one and only Spider-Man." Spider-Man replied as he mockingly bowed toward Venom. "You don't look like a local to me. Are you lost perhaps? Do you need me to escort you back to whichever shithole you came from?"
"You... You dare mock me, you insect?!" Venom growled at Spider-Man as it brandished its claws.
"Ugh, not this again." Spider-Man groaned as he easily side-stepped Venom's wild charge. Latching a web to its leg, Spider-Man gave it a jerk making it fall to the ground, face-first before dragging it towards him. Lifting his leg Spider-Man hissed in as he stomped Venom. "I am an arachnid, dude."
Stomping Venom into the ground, Spider-Man pinned it to the ground. He took a deep breath to calm down his killer Instincts as there was still an innocent person held hostage by the symbiote as its host.
"Y-You... You are strong." Venom began as he tried to get up but found out he was unable to do so. "You are a winner... Not like Venom... You are strong."
"Huh... I guess I am-"
"You are worthy." Venom interrupted Spider-Man as the symbiote tried to possess Spider-Man. The symbiote began to wrap its gooey appendages around Spider-Man's leg who only narrowed his eyes. "You are worthy to become my host-"
*Bzzzzt!*
"Ahhhh!" Black lightning crackled around Spider-Man legs as it zapped Venom, forcing it to let go of his leg. But, Venom was a persistent parasite. He had an ace up his sleeve. Venom's arm extended before it solidified into a sharp-bladed scythe. Spider-Man raised his eyebrow as he leaned back to an unnatural degree avoiding a slash that was aimed at his neck. "Stay still, Spider-Man!"
"Nah, I don't think I will." Spider-Man replied as he performed a cartwheel and jumped away creating distance between him and the symbiote. "Say, Venom... You wouldn't happen to know where Riot is, would you,?"
"Hah! I know where exactly he is. In my stomach! Bossy bastard would always bully me, doing as he pleased but I won the race this time! I found a host first and I ate him hahaha! Venom is not a loser anymore-"
'This is his second host then. The first one already died in such a short amount of time. I need to contain him quickly and look for other symbiotes too if there are any.' Spider-Man mused to himself as he looked at the symbiote in front of him. 'This version of Venom is more dangerous assuming that he has a plundering type ability that absorbs a portion of his opponents' power after it consumes them.'
"-Wait. How do you know about Riot, who you have never even seen before?" Venom suddenly hissed as Spider-Man just relaxed his stance.
'Well then, time to deal with this accordingly?'
"How does a mere insect knows about Riot?"
"I know a lot of things. I know a lot about your kind as well. How? Well that you see..." Spider-Man smiled as he positioned his right leg back taking a stance as he made a 'come-at-me' gesture which seemed to irritate Venom a lot. "...you will have to find out for yourself."
"Grahh!" Venom charged at Spider-Man as it transformed its hands into sharp lances. Spider-Man waited without moving as Venom tried to impale his face. Timing it accurately, Spider-Man suddenly tilted his head to the left to avoid the attack. Venom had gained too much velocity from its charge and thus it was unable to stop even as Spider-Man nailed it in the face. "Argh-"
Grabbing it by its extended arm Spider-Man threw Venom over his shoulder and sent him crashing through multiple trees.
Spider-Man could only smile as not even a moment later Venom had leapt out and at him from the tree debris but Spider-Man ducked under the blade once again before pinning its leg to the ground. Grabbing the symbiote by the shoulder Spider-Man kicked it in the spine breaking it and causing it to scream in pain. Spider-Man grabbed it by the neck and threw it once again creating distance between them.
"I... I will devour you, Spider!" Venom screamed in rage as Spider-Man just shrugged.
"You will try." Spider-Man started walking towards Venom as he created a garrote wire using his web. "And you will fail."
"Die!" Venom charged at Spider-Man in a rabid manner throwing wild attracts one after another but Spider-Man just bobbed and weaved through the attacks as he kept back-pedalling waiting for an opening to exploit.
Suddenly stepping into Venom's guard Spider-Man surprised the symbiote as quickly wrapped the garrote wire around its extended hand restraining. Venom felt its vision turn blurry as Spider-Man unleashed his might upon its face.
One punch. Two punch. There punch and they kept coming. The force behind them became stronger with each punch. Even though it could negate most physical attacks, the symbiote knew that if it didn't react soon enough then the next punch might vaporise it into oblivion
It had to do something.
But Spider-Man had no intention of letting Venom go. Using the restrained arm, Spider-Man pulled Venom ahead throwing the symbiote off its balance before landing a powerful kick into its face.
Capitalising on the opportunity Spider-Man restrained its other arm behind its back and forced it to the ground once again.
"Let me go! I said-Ahhhhh!"
Spider-Man electrified the symbiote through this garrote wire. Kicking the symbiote once again, Spider-Man turned Venom over and kneeled on its chest. Raising his hand Spider-Man brought it closer the Venom's ear as he smirked as lighting cracked around his hand. "Boom~"
*Snap!*
*Boom!*
Electricity sparked around Spider-Man's finger as he snapped which resulted in the release of bright light and a high-frequency sonic boom.
"Well, shit." Spider-Man muttered to himself as the symbiote lost its ability to retain shape and transformed back into a puddle of black goo letting go of its host. The host was thankfully just unconscious with a few bruises.
Turning towards the weakened symbiote which was trying sneakily escape, Spider-Man just smiled to himself.
"And where the fuck do you think you are going?" Spider-Man grinned as he approached the scared symbiote.
"Come on now, this is just the beginning."

"Yo." Spider-Man said greeting an anxious Frank and an excited Wade as he landed on George's lawn. Frank and Wade rushed towards him but stopped as he raised his hands. "Relax, everything is understood."
"What actually happened?" Frank asked.
"It's hard for me to explain it all to you but Iet me summarise it to you this way. The meteor wasn't a normal one. It was a vessel that housed sentient amorphous, goo-like space parasites that latch onto humans and take over their bodies for their sustenance." Spider-Man explained as Frank looked at him blankly while Wade scratched his head and shrugged. "Basically semi-liquid space demons. There was one casualty and a hostage situation but I dealt with it as quickly as I could."
"Oh... I see. Did you report the body?" Frank asked as Spider-Man nodded.
"I notified the local police." Spider-Man replied. "I also secured all of the parasites so don't worry about it."
"Where are they now?" Wade asked as Spider-Man pointed toward his backpack. "Seriously?"
"Seriously. They aren't really a threat in a glass tube you know. Plus, I already instilled the fear of God in them." Spider-Man smirked behind his mask as Frank and Wade shivered subconsciously. "Anyways, I gotta go."
"Really? Right now? It's so late already... You can go-"
"Frank..." Spider-Man began as he pulled Frank into a brotherly hug surprising him. Patting his back he pulled back and smiled behind his mask. "Thank you. For everything, you and Maria did for me. Even if it was short I enjoyed my time here. But it's time to work now."
"Ahh... I see." Frank nodded with a bitter smile as he understood where Peter was coming from. "And you are most welcome. I... I will come back tomorrow-"
"Hey, don't worry. Relax and enjoy your vacation with your family. We will put your Moscow mission on hold for now. Major things are coming up in the next month and I need to make preparations accordingly." Spider-Man stated as Frank nodded. "You should also take this time off Wade. I'll send Vanessa by tomorrow."
"Ahh! Sweet! Thanks, bossman!"
"Pass my wishes to the folks. Tell them sorry I couldn't say bye. Also-" Spider-Man stopped mid-sentence as his senses picked up something. It wasn't mortal danger but it was something that could harm his identity.
"What's wrong, Peter?" Frank asked tensing up as his eyes began to scan his surroundings.
"Ah. Nothing, I just remembered something important." Spider-Man said dismissing Frank's worries. "Anyways, I'll take my leave now. See you both later. Have fun."
"You too Peter." Wade smiled as he winked at him. "Happy hunting~"
Spider-Man smirked to himself before launching himself into the air and swinging away in a certain direction.
"Eryl, scan the building. I want all the information right now." Spider-Man said landing on the rooftop of a tall building.
"Just a second... Alright, here it is. XX Tower was constructed in 2006. One of the tallest buildings in this small town. Feeding video footage and entries. Please wait for a moment." Eryl said as Spider-Man walked around the rooftop.
"Is also a good vantage point to keep a watch on Frank's house." Spider-Man said as he traced the parapet. "They observed from here. Incense bomb to cover their scent. No fingerprint whatsoever. Good, pretty good."
"Peter, the camera footage has been neatly looped for the past eighteen hours. I don't think it's going to be of any use." Eryl stated in a worried manner. "Peter, I think knows your identity."
"Hmmm." Spider-Man hummed to himself as he jumped off the parapet without care. Descending to the sixteenth-floor Spider-Man attached himself to the wall beside a closed window. Raising his hand towards the window, Spider-Man waved as the window opened and he stepped inside. Looking around the dusty dark room he sniffed smirking to himself. "A woman."
Spider-Man scanned the room but it was spotless, almost too spotless.
(A/N: Spotless here means, lacking any irregularity.)
Walking into the bathroom, Spider-Man smiled.
"House has been empty for past six months. The whole apartment is dusty even though it was tightly shut and yet the bathroom is clean even tho this window is slightly ajar. Recently used, the water on the basin sides hasn't dried yet." Spider-Man shrugged patting himself on the back. "Smart, but nothing like me I'm afraid."
Eryl paid close attention to Spider-Man action as walked towards the shower drain and plucked the edge of the drain pulling out a strand of hair.
"The previous owner was a paraparetic waist below without any records for a son or a daughter." Spider-Man smirked as he put the hair sample away.
"I'm scanning the whole area-" Eryl began but Spider-Man stopped her.
"There's no need. She's already out of this town." Spider-Man said walking towards the hairdresser in the bedroom to find tissue paper with red lipstick print on it. "No DNA sample haha. Such a bad kiss."
Looking out of the window Spider-Man shook his head before getting out and closing the window behind him using magic.
"What a tease." Spider-Man mused to himself as he jumped into the ground bridge that opened up in front of him before stepping out from the other side.
"We will meet really soon, my dear spy and I..." Spider-Man grinned as he clenched his fists.
"I can't wait."

So, here you go. Another one up early.
Let me know your thoughts on this one. I think it's fair to say that normal symbiotes aren't a threat to Peter anymore and thus the one-side beatdown.
I decided to give Venom an upgrade. In my story, Venom is a rare subspecies of Klyntar who are rare without any formidable host to latch onto release their full potential. Latching onto a host unlocks a unique ability which can vary from one symbiote to another. Venom had the ability to plunder a part of its victim's power after he consumes them.
I have plans for Venom so I decided to make him as interesting as I could. Hope it's a cool idea. He is just a slimy (not slime) version of Rimuru.
Also, let me know what you think about Peter building his own kingdom and if you'd like that please provide me with your unique ideas for that.
Anyways, I'll see you in the next one.
