Venom raced up the tall building and stopped on the same spot where Carlo & Michelle had dinner earlier. Venom roared at the people and they ran away as he chuckled.

Host-''I know you like scaring people. But this ain't the time, buddy.''

Venom-''Fine.''

Then Ghost Rider rode up into the air on his motorbike and landed behind Venom, making Venom turn around.

Host-''Whoa. How in the hell did he get up here?''

Venom-''What do you want, Matchstick?!''

Carlo-''For you two to stop terrorising this city!''

Host-''Two? How does he know you have or need a host?''

Venom growled as Carlo stood up from his motorbike.

Carlo-''That's right, Mr. Symbiote. Or should I call you....Venom?''

Venom-''How do you know me?''

Carlo-''I've got friends in high places. And an irritating dumbass in low places.''

Venom growled.

Carlo-''Is that who you're looking for? The Devil?''

Venom-''Where can I find him?''

Carlo-''What do you want with him?''

Venom-''None of your business!''

Carlo-''Well, it is my business because I'm kinda his bounty hunter.''

Venom-''He sent you after me?''

Carlo-''I don't really have a choice. Either you leave him alone or I'll have to kill you.''

Venom picked up a couch and threw it at Carlo. But Carlo pulled out his chain, swung it and sliced the couch in half.

Host-''You knew that wasn't gonna work, right?''

Venom-''I knew that. Got any ideas?''

Carlo-''Talking to your host? I'd love to meet him.''

Venom-''He wants nothing to do with you!''

Venom roared and punched Carlo so hard in his gut that Carlo went flying into the air!

Host-''We can't fight him, buddy.''

Venom-''I know.''

But then Carlo used his chain and swung it towards Venom. The chain wrapped around Venom's wrist and Carlo pulled himself back towards Venom. Carlo dove towards Venom head first and drove his head into Venom's chest!

Venom was sent several feet across the floor of the rooftop restaurant knocking furniture and breaking the floor in the process.

Venom-''Ugh!''

Venom stood up and his chest healed up as Carlo started walking towards him with his chain in his hand.

Carlo-''So, he does heal himself.''

Carlo whispered to himself.

Venom-''I know I shouldn't fight him, but we just gotta slow him down long enough to get away.''

Host-''Ok. Go inside the building.''

Venom rushed into the building knocking all the restaurant tables and chairs to the side to create space for a fight as Rider stepped into the building.

Carlo-''You ready to dance?''

Venom-''Let's go, Matchstick!''

Venom stood ready to fight as Carlo lit his chain on fire and swung it around him.

Carlo & Venom ran at each other! Carlo swung his chain as Venom changed his arm into a large hammer!

Venom hit Carlo so hard that Reed went crashing into the concrete wall!

Carlo-''Ugh! Son of a-''

Carlo was hit with a table that broke in half when it hit him.

Host-''You didn't have to do that.''

Venom-''I know. But it was funny.''

Venom chuckled, but then Carlo's bike rode in fast towards Venom!

Venom-''What the-''

Venom jumped out of the way and the bike turned around and rode towards Carlo who got out of the wall.

Host-''His bike moves on it's own? Cool.''

Venom-''Who's side are you on?''

Host-''What? It's cool.''

Carlo ran towards Venom. He swung his chain to wrap around Venom, but Venom grabbed a thick steel pipe and the fire chain wrapped around the pipe.

Then Venom pulled the pipe which launched Carlo towards him. But Carlo went above Venom and sat on Venom's shoulders!

Venom-''Get off!''

Carlo held onto Venom's head. Carlo burned Venom with his touch, making Venom yell out in pain!

Venom managed to grab Carlo's legs and pulled him off of his shoulders. Venom tossed Carlo up into the air, making Reed hit the ceiling!

Venom jumped up to Carlo, grabbed him by his leather jacket and went to slam Reed down onto the floor, but Carlo countered and slammed Venom down hard into the floor causing the building to shake!

Carlo rolled away from Venom and stood up. Venom got up and shook off the debris from his body.

Carlo-''Ready to give up?''

Venom-''Not a chance!''

They stood ready to go again, but then something was fired at Venom and cut his arm!

Venom quickly healed and roared at who shot him. Carlo turned around and saw several S.W.A.T members.

Venom-''You'll pay for that!''

SWAT-''Surrender now! Both of you!''

Carlo stepped next to Venom and they both got surrounded by all the S.W.A.T members.

Host-''You know what to do, buddy.''

Carlo & Venom glanced at each other.

Carlo-''Wanna take 'em out?''

Venom-''Hell yeah.''

Carlo stepped in front of Venom with his back towards Venom.

Carlo-''You might wanna get out of the way for this one, Venom.''

Venom-''Why?''

Carlo looked at Venom over his shoulder.

Carlo-''Unless you wanna get burned.''

Venom-''Fine.''

Venom launched himself up towards the ceiling and grabbed hold of it as Carlo stood in the middle of the circle of SWAT members.

Then SWAT started firing at Carlo, but all the bullets bounced off of him and had no effect on him at all.

Carlo-''My turn.''

Carlo sent a huge circle of fire out from his body and towards all of the SWAT members causing them to all get tossed around the room!

Venom-''My turn!''

Venom dropped down from the ceiling and came down to do this!

Carlo-''Damn.''

Venom roared and picked up one S.W.A.T member.

Host-''VENOM, NO!!''

Venom-''But I'm hungry!''

Host-''I will get you chocolates later! Put him down!''

Venom-''Fine.''

Venom tossed the guy into a wall and looked at Carlo.

Carlo-''What kind of bad guy are you?''

Venom-''What do you mean?''

Carlo-''You fight me and then fight alongside me.''

Venom-''I just figured we both hated cops.''

Carlo-''I think they all hate the both of us.''

Venom-''I agree. But I need you to stay out of my way!''

Venom picked up two SWAT members and threw them at Carlo!

Carlo got knocked down, but quickly got up after shoving the men aside. But when Carlo looked up, Venom crashed out of the window of the building!

Carlo-''Not so fast!''

Carlo whistled and his bike rode up next to him. Carlo got on his bike and rode off out of the broken window.

Carlo was in mid air when he saw Venom running down the side of the tall building. Then Carlo saw Venom jump and Carlo swung his chain!

Carlo set the chain on fire just before it wrapped around Venom's waist!

Venom-''UGH!!''

Venom felt the chain burning through his waist as he landed hard on the street, making the road break!

Carlo landed on the street on his bike, grabbed the chain with both hands and made the flames on the chain stronger!

Venom-''UGH!!''

Host-''Venom! Go back inside!''

Venom went inside his host and the chain burned the person as they took it off and ran down the street!

Carlo couldn't see who the host was because the person had a hoodie on.

Carlo-''I gotta stop him!''

Carlo rode off after the host. But then the host transformed back into Venom and charged down the street, jumping from car to car as Carlo rode after him!

Venom grabbed a parked car and threw it at Carlo, but Carlo dodged it at the last second!

Host-''You never get tired of throwing cars, do you?''

Venom-''Nope!''

Venom continued down the street as Carlo blasted the cars out of his way that Venom shoved into the middle of the street to slow him down.

Venom went around the corner and stopped when he saw a man sitting on a horse.

Host-''Who the hell is he?''

Venom-''Out of the way, old man!''

But then the man and his horse transformed!

Host-''The hell?!''

Venom-''Seriously?''

Then Carlo rode up behind Venom and saw Slade sitting on Banshee.

Slade-''Thought you could use a hand, Kiddo.''

Carlo-''Thanks.''

Venom growled at them.

Host-''Venom, we gotta go now!''

Carlo set his chain on fire and Slade pulled out a rope & started swinging it above his head like a cowboy and he set the rope on fire!

Host-''Shit!''

Carlo swung his chain and wrapped it around Venom's neck making him yell out in pain. Then Slade swung his fire rope and it wrapped around Venom trapping his arms against his body!

Host-''*Worried* VENOM!!''

Carlo pulled his chain off of Venom. Then Carlo swung the chain so it wrapped around Venom's body over the rope.

Slade-''NOW!''

Carlo & Slade grabbed their chain and rope with both hands and sent a large flame through them towards Venom!

Host-''VENOM, NOW!''

Venom-''What about you?!''

Host-''You can heal me! NOW GO!!''

Venom went back inside his host just in time and the host was engulfed in flames!

The host yelled out in pain as the chain & rope were removed. But then Slade's horse, Banshee, kicked a fire hydrant and the water hit the host! The force of the water sent the host into the wall of a building across the street as the water put out the flames.

When the water stopped, the host fell down face first onto the concrete floor as Slade and Banshee turned back to normal.

Carlo got off of his bike and wrapped his chain around his body. Then Carlo slowly stepped over to the host who's hoodie was covering their face as the host laid unconscious on the ground.

Carlo-''Time to see who you are.''

Slade got off of Banshee and walked over next to Carlo.

Slade-''Careful, Rider. I'm not sure if Venom is unconscious along with this guy.''

Carlo-''Right.''

Then Carlo and Slade saw the person's hands healing from the burns. They realised that Venom was healing his host.

Slade-''At least we know he's not gonna have any burn injuries.''

Carlo-''Let's see who he is.''

Carlo reached down to see who it was.
