Spider-Man sets out from dimensions to Counter Vale, a futuristic counterpart of the fallen Vale where Bestials are first class citizens and human and Faunus alike are dismissed as second class citizens. Spider-Man and his team join with a resistanc...
Two days had already passed since Team SVRN first met X-51. Team SVRN hadn't made many progress finding the symbiote Venus Deterzo saw at the train station. Unfortunately, the rogue symbiotes weren't having any luck either.
The Symbiotes' Main Base Spider-Carnage worked tirelessly to make the machines to replicate the technorganic creatures and mini-Scorpions from Alchemax. He was currently unmasked, looking like Peter Parker with red eyes. Then She-Venom appeared. She shifted herself to look like Anne Weying with black eyes wearing a Venom-inspired dress.

She went over to Spider-Carnage and asked, "Is everything all right, Spider-Carnage?" He answered, "I'm just very focused on our plans for vengeance on the High Evolutionary and his creations." She-Venom grew a concerned look as Spider-Carnage added, "I'm just growing restless." She-Venom hugged him from behind as Spider-Carnage looked at her.

"As you said before," said She-Venom. "We need to strike him where the High Evolutionary is at his weakest. We'll find out what it is eventually. Now don't act this way when we have our intimate time together. Okay?" She kissed him fully on the lips and strolled away with swaying hips. Spider-Carnage watched her go as he took out a cylinder device with an evil smirk. It was Sir Ram's bio-container and Spider-Carnage couldn't wait for the deadly affects of the virus.
Peter and Venus's Apartment Venus Deterzo cleaned up the apartment while her boyfriend was out. She smiled as a man in his late thirties with a broom said, "That oughta do it, Venus." Venus held a small pink box as she said, "I wish you would reconsider my offer, Phil. There's room on the sofa." Phil refused gently, "And miss out on my stargazing? Nah, you already do enough for the folks around here. Not just fighting the good fight." She handed him the pink box as he opened it and smiled, "Grilled cheese. My favorite. You're a keeper." Phil left with his sandwich as he added, "Goodnight."
Spider-Man was swinging around Counter-Vale, trying to find Spider-Carnage and the rogue symbiotes. 'If the High Evolutionary wasn't so obsessed with trying to take me out the picture and his twisted sense of the future,' thought Spider-Man. 'I'd feel relaxed for my engagement with Venus. Instead I'm here in this twilight zone.' He spun another web line but an aerial ambulance cut it in half as Spider-Man landed on top of a building safely. "Hey, watch it!" yelped Spider-Man. Then he watched the aerial ambulance fly away quickly as Spider-Man went web-slinging after it.
Phil was walking down the street when unbeknownst to him, an aerial ambulance silently descended down on the asphalt road. He sat down on a couple of stairs and was about to eat his grilled cheese sandwich, but was stopped by a hog Bestial and a camel Bestial wearing turquoise paramedic scrubs. The two Bestials grabbed Phil and dragged him into their aerial ambulance. Spider-Man saw this and thought, 'That guy didn't need an ambulance before. So...' He shot a web line as his spider sense detected danger. Spider-Man turned to see a man with a green, brown, and grey pilot uniform green vulture-like wings flying towards him.

"Oh no you don't, buddy boy!" exclaimed the man. "Nothing's gettin' in my way! Not this time!" He swooped toward Spider-Man and kicked him on the side of a building. The man flew away as the web-slinger began falling. 'Way to stay alert, hotshot,' muttered Spider-Man mentally as he spun a web line to swing to a building and sticked to the side of another building. 'A poodle would've made that tackle!'
The camel Bestial managed to get Phil into the ambulance as the hog Bestial pulled out a gun and began blasting the flying man. He did some aerial dodging as Spider-Man crawled down to the two Bestials and quipped, "Hey, that is no way to treat such good grilled cheese." The hog Bestial replied, "Back off, twerp!" He blasted at Spider-Man who leaped up high while dodging the laser fire. The web-slinger managed to get on top of the building as the man with the wings grabbed him and commented, "Looks like your friends don't think much of you, either." Spider-Man questioned, "My friends? I figured they belonged to you." The two rushed for the aerial ambulance but the hog Bestial shot Spider-Man's shoulder and he landed on his back. The aerial ambulance flew away as Spider-Man saw it and shot a spider tracer on the ambulance's bumper. He went to get back up but the man pressed his foot on the web-slinger's chest. "Forget it, bud," said the man. "You're in no position to travel." Spider-Man slapped the foot away as the man stated, "Those two bums having been on this town like a couple of 49ers, only their mining for humans and Faunus, not gold. Tonight I finally got close to stoppin' them and then you came along!" He sighed, "Hopefully it is not too late. I don't know what your about, but do us both a favor and keep your nose clean!" The man went to fly away as Spider-Man asked, "Who the heck are you?" The man stopped and answered, "Vulture, and I'll tell you this much: I ain't no wannabe." Then he flew away, leaving Spider-Man bewildered and muttered, "Wannabe? Who's he calling a... Ow!" He felt his shoulder in pain as he gripped it.
Peter and Venus's Apartment, 2 a.m. Peter Parker made it back to his apartment but his shoulder still ached. "Guess Porky's blast must've hurt me worse than I thought," murmured Peter. He heard footsteps behind him and turned to see Nightingale in her pale white nightgown. "Peter? You are here late," said Nightingale. Peter nodded, "Uh,yeah. Just another day in Counter-Vale." She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Are you all right?" Peter collapsed on the wall and answered, "Never been... better." Then he passed out on the floor. Nightingale gasped and called, "Venus! Peter is hurt!" The Chimera cat Faunus in her orange with black patches top and black leggings shorts quickly came and helped their team leader onto the couch.
