Twisted Carnage

Chapter 1

"Let me get this straight. You're going to merge me with a bloodthirsty alien symbiote?" Alex looked really scared for his own life, since he read about the Carnage Symbiote's last host, Cletus Kasady, who was a serial killer that used the Carnage Symbiote as tool for mass murder. It was only a couple hours ago that he was approached by this super-soldier program to bond with a symbiote.

"Calm down, sir. We recently domesticated the Carnage symbiote by moving it to multiple docile hosts. It should be within your control when you put it on." The scientist gave him a reassuring look, knowing that he would be okay. "And if anything does go wrong, we'll just terminate the symbiote using a high-frequency sound cannon, okay?"

"You really have this planned for anything to go wrong." He got into the tube, ready to begin the program. As soon as the scientist pressed a red button, the large, circular panel above his head opened, dropping the Carnage symbiote onto him. He could feel it wrap around his body like cellophane over a bowl. He could also hear a voice talking to him from within his head, but it sounded malevolent and bitter.

"We are Carnage. You are not Kasady. We want Kasady." At first, it seemed like the symbiote didn't want to cooperate with him and looked like it was actually rejecting him, but then it clung to his body.

"Looks like you and I are gonna have to get along if we want freedom. Just follow my lead, and then we can just go our separate ways." He seemed really adamant about getting rid of the symbiote, and the symbiote seemed just as adamant to get rid of it's latest host. "Do we have a deal?"

"Deal."
