The Rebirth of Veronica (Phase One)

[ooc: PLOT POST IS HERE! Read it!]

He stalked through the hallways like a shadow, moving too quickly for anyone to keep a bead on him for long. There almost seemed to be a purpose in his movement as he made his way through the dark corridors of the ship, though it was impossible to tell where he was headed. Perhaps the young man whose body had been hijacked was exerting some kind of control, or perhaps Veronica was doing the driving.

Whatever the case, the Tyrant made his way to the City.

He emerged from the tunnels and into the wide open space, at last free of the cramped hallway. He took a few steps into the streets and sniffed the air, smelling human blood. He roared, a horrible and twisted noise, then headed into the streets.

She demanded they all bow to her. They were little more than prey for the Queen in the grand scale of things. These thoughts rang hollow in a primal mind, though, but he knew what he had to do.

They would all die.

That hurts.

Unable to hold back the screaming yelp, the oddity holds still for about fiftene seconds to ascertain exactly two things: Something just stepped on him and that was a big something. And it bloody well hurts.

Distancing himself from the pain as much as he's able, his Within slams down a series of walls -- damned if he'd let the Bondeds feel this! -- then reacts in a very primal, very instinctive way. His fangs come down and he bites. Hard.

The stage-one itch of this venom makes athlete's foot look like a mere tickle.

Peter's spidey-sense went off, and he leaped higher, straddling Steve's neck.

"Sorry, but this is one monkey that's not getting off your back," he quipped, slamming the Tyrant's head with a double-axe handle.

That's not good.

While normally, he likes heat and tends to leech it in the name of survival (the hotter the better), this time, he's dragging/edging himself back to try and avoid another stepping-on.

The voice above the stomping-thing...or is it the stomping thing?...turns his ears forward, then up a bit. Screeching a warning as loudly as he can, his fangs give a flash, then a spray, sort of like a spitting cobra.

Don't laugh at his aim. You can't aim when you can't see but maybe this time, he'll hit the broad side of a barn rampaging behemoth. Hello, liquid pepper spray.

Peter thanked his lucky stars, that, despite a him-shaped imprint in the ground where he slammed into it, he was durable enough to be able to actually get up from the attack. It still hurt like hell though.

"Oh. Great. He bleeds fire. This is just the best day ever." He shot a webline, pulling Renne out of the way of the Tyrant's foot, and fired a solid web ball into it's open mouth.

"While I gotta admire your courage, little blue guy? Leave the massive stupidity to the professionals."

"Rrrr-enne hell-p!"

He's a top student of Massively Stupid 101. Chirping with grittef teeth, the beastie crawls/drags back a bit further and spits another twin jet of venom. Push comes to shove, he'll bloody well Transcend.

Peter ducked under Steve's arm, shouting at Renne, "That didn't work the first two times Weirdo Smurf, and I doubt it's gonna work this time."

The webslinger's mind raced. This fight wasn't going well, and it was high-time they backed off and came up with a new plan. But for that to work, he needed to distract it, and he caught sight of the fact that Steve's heart was sticking out of his chest.

"Hey ugly! Think fast!" He weblined a piece of rubble, flung it with extreme accuracy at the organ, and then ran, scooping up Renne along the way.

"Eeep!"

Well, that's a surprise. With as many times as he can count on a paw with someone saving his neck, his startled squeak might not be surprising. Still, the oddity latches onto Spidey. He can't get his nine wings out right now and he really, really doesn't relish falling.

"Yeu do fly?"

Oi. Even amid a crisis, he can still be curious.

"If I had a jetpack, yeah." he replied. "Okay, new plan. You stay here, or better yet, head out of the city. I'm gonna try keeping everyone else out of his way instead of trying to hurt him."

"A wha-t?"

And then he gives a shake of his head. Whispering at first a very old, very strictly adhered-to line, the oddity doesn't loosen his hold on the spiderhuman.

"Ad na ddyn ar ôl. Rrrr-enne noh do tha-t. Rrrr-enne wahn-t hell-p yeu."

Peter sighed. "Alright. Hang on to my shoulder, hold tight, and don't do anything I would do," he replied, the last line phrased intentionally.

Once Renne was ready, Peter fired a webline, flying into the air like a streak of light.
