When Dragon Balls Descend Upon Marvel

Smith Dole set Eddie Brock down and said:

"Stay behind them and keep filming. I'll make sure nothing happens to you."

With everyone ready, Michael, Selina, and Alexei moved in. Facing the reinforced rooftop door, Alexei stepped forward and kicked.

"Boom!"

The steel door flew off its hinges. Eddie's eyes shone with excitement—he was capturing superhumans in live combat. Who else on Earth had ever done that?

The three led the way, navigating the lab corridors with the help of a handheld map.

Soon they ran into the first squad of security guards. They carried only stun batons.

Alexei smirked at the sight.

"Not even guns? Pathetic."

He charged, fists flashing.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

In seconds, the guards were flung into walls and collapsed unconscious. Not one could take a single hit.

In the monitoring room, alarms blared. Red lights flashed as the speakers screamed:

"Level 1 alert—intruders detected!"

But the team pressed forward unfazed. Eddie kept his camera rolling, capturing every second.

The next wave of guards came with firearms. They raised their weapons, but before fingers even touched triggers, Selina blurred forward like a phantom.

"Slash, slash, slash—"

Bodies flew, slamming into walls and ceilings before dropping limp. Again, not one left standing.

Eddie crouched by one fallen guard, pressing a hand to his neck. Still alive. He looked at the camera and whispered:

"Unbelievable. Superhumans… they've shattered everything I thought I knew."

The team carved through the facility with ease. Drake might have been a billionaire, but his guards weren't even peak human strength—no match for trained superhumans.

At last, they reached the lab sector. Eddie followed with his camera, recording everything.

Inside were four sealed labs. One symbiote host was already dead. The others bore labels: "Bonded 4 days," "Bonded 12 days," "Bonded 6 days."

Eddie filmed it all as evidence. But when he reached Lab A1, the subject inside stirred.

A woman pounded desperately on the glass.

"Eddie—it's me, Maria!"

"Please, let me out! It's me!"

Eddie froze. He knew her—a homeless woman he'd once interviewed in San Francisco. His voice shook.

"I… I don't know how to open it!"

Before he could think further, Michael slammed a fist into the reinforced glass.

"Boom!"

The barrier shattered. Maria lunged—but not at freedom. She tackled Eddie to the floor, hands clamping around his throat.

"Maria! No!"

Selina moved to intervene, but Smith raised a hand. He could see it: the symbiote had chosen Eddie as host.

A moment later, the A1 symbiote—Venom—slithered out of Maria's body and into Eddie's.

Maria collapsed, lifeless, as the alien merged with its new host.

Smith looked at the remaining labs and gave his command:

"Use sonic vibrations. Force the symbiotes out and contain them."

Selina, Michael, and Alexei sprang into action. Michael smashed glass. Alexei readied containers. Selina struck the hosts with concussive force—enough to drive the symbiotes out. In seconds, Alexei snared them in sealed canisters.

Within minutes, two more symbiotes were safely captured.

Eddie staggered to his feet, pale and trembling.

"Something—something crawled inside me! What the hell was that?"

"An alien lifeform," Smith answered calmly.

Eddie's eyes bulged.

"You mean an alien's inside me? It won't… eat me from the inside, will it? Or lay eggs, like in Alien?"

Smith chuckled. Selina approached with the containers.

"Want me to drive it out?" she asked.

Eddie's voice cracked.

"Will… will I die?"

Selina hesitated, her tone grave.

"I can't be sure. But the others—every host we saw—died immediately."

Eddie's face went as white as paper.

Smith stepped in.

"Don't panic. For now, you're stable."

"We'll take you back for tests. The evidence we've gathered is enough—Drake's downfall is only a matter of time."

Eddie swallowed hard.

"Boss, you've got to save me. Anne and I—we're not even married yet…"

Smith smiled at the terrified reporter, his mind curious as to what Venom would do inside him.

"Trust me. You'll be fine."

"Now let's move. We're leaving with the symbiotes."

Together, the five retraced their steps, boarded the helicopter, and lifted off—three captured symbiotes secured, one now hidden inside Eddie Brock.
