//------------------------------// // Things Turned Worse and Needing Help // Story: Equestria Girls meet Venom // by Big Imagination E //------------------------------// It has been six months since everything that just occured. In fact at the Life Foundation the things that the symbiotes said were true. The symbiotes Drake captured are running tests to see if they can survive with different hosts they bond to. Drake saw the success in the rabbit and wanted to begin human trials. But the scientist thinks it's way too soon. Drake didn't want to listen and insisted that he began the human trials now. Meanwhile at a bar we see Eddie, the girls, and Spike all trying to have a good time clearing their heads from what happened in the past and Eddie was still in the dumps. "Hey, Jack. Do you ever feel like your life is like one monumental screwup?" Eddie asked. "Nope." Jack answered. "Eddie. We know how your feeling. I know your upset that you lost everything but you can't just sit here and mope all night." Sunset said. "Well he wouldn't be in this situation if you just let us show you that Drake is bad news." Hybrid said in her mind. "And look what happens when you accused him of that." Sunset retorted. The symbiote groaned in annoyance and stayed quiet. Then they all saw Drake talking on TV and he was explaining about the next launch and Eddie did not want to stick around for it. "All right. Come on guys. We're going home and I am gonna chase myself around the room, playing hard to get." Eddie said as he and the gang followed him. "Poor guy. I mean I can't image if me and Rarity got divorced. IF we were married that is." Spike said. "Spikey. You know that we have been taking things nice and slow. Plus Eddie didn't think others before him." Rarity reminded him. The first stop they made was the gas station store and got a few things. But then a robber came in and threatened the cashier lady and she forcefully gave him the money as he walked off. "What is wrong with this place?" Twilight asked. "Lots of bad people are running around here at this time of night. Honestly Twilight you should be this Princess of Friendship. And that's means you need to expose Drake for the evil son of a bitch he is." Scorn said. "You know what? We're tired of you accusing Drake for something that we don't even know he's planning. If you really think he's up to no good then why don't you and your friends whoever you are give us proof about him?" Twilight asked angry. "Fine! Since you all are being stubborn and refusing to see reason when Eddie plans on going to the Life Foundation then we'll take you there and then MAYBE you'll see reason!" Scorn yelled. Twilight groaned a bit but accepted that fact. They all left the store and went to Eddie's place where they needed to rest up. But Eddie was not feeling any better since he had all those overdue mortgages that haven't been paid. Eddie struggled to find a job where he can hopefully raise enough money to cover the costs. Watching from behind was the girls and Spike. And boy did they feel sorry for him. "Poor Eddie. Frowning in the downy dumps. I say we need to throw a party to get him smiling again!!" Pinkie suggested. "No Pinkie. This probably isn't the best time to do that right now. We already been through too much lately. First the substances in Canterlot City disappeared, then Eddie lost his wife and can't find a job, and now this talk about Drake being bad. But we don't know anything about him or the Life Foundation." Rarity said. "Well toots hear this. If you would have let us get Drake to confess his little plot about using more of our kind for his little tests then Eddie wouldn't be in this shitty situation in the first place." Agony reasoned. "And you know that you have no proof of that! If Drake was planning something evil then what's your proof?!" Rarity argued. "Easy Rarity. A voice in my head said that when Eddie plans on going to the Life Foundation again then they'll show us proof." Twilight said calming her down. "Ok fine. And they better be telling us the truth about this." Rarity frowned. Then some loud rock music began playing from across the hall and the girls had to cover their ears and stayed in the room until the music died down. Eddie heard that too and was frustrated. But for now they heard the sound and A few boom boom sounds. This was gonna be a long night for them. Meanwhile at the Life Foundation Drake gathered everyone here for his big announcement. "Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you all for bringing us to this moment. Our names will be spoken long after we are dust. History starts now. This is day one. This is first contact. Let's all get to work." Drake said. And so begins as the scientists placed a sickly human inside the chamber. He stared at the symbiote for a long time and they opened the tank. The symbiote went inside of him and so far the vitals were stable. But then everything went down the drain as the symbiote killed him on the inside and he died. Reason why is because that wasn't a match. Drake knew that was bad but he decided to keep trying. And that made one of the scientists worry. Back with Eddie and the girls with Spike they were at the store getting some things. Then suddenly they saw Dr. Skirth getting things too and she needed to do something. "Um excuse me? Are you Eddie Brock? Along with The Mane Seven and Spike?" She asked. "Yes. That's us ma'am. Who are you?" Rainbow wondered. "My name is Dora Skirth. And listen. I need your help bad. I work at the Life Foundation." Dr. Skirth answered. "Oh you do? Well im not a reporter anymore. I tried to expose his secret and I got fired. So we're done." Eddie said. "Wait. Mr Brock, please... Please listen to me. Everything that you accused him of, you were right the whole time. It's all true. Drake is bad to the bone." Dr. Skirth said. "Oh not you too. We've been hearing these voices in our heads saying the same thing. But now we don't care anymore. We just wanna go home." Sunset said. "Girls. Listen. I was there when all this happened. He has a lab filled with poor people, and they're all signing waivers that they don't understand, and he's using them like guinea pigs, and they are dying. They're all dying. So please. You have to help me expose him and get Drake to stop this." Dr. Skirth said. The girls turned around and faced her. "You've seen that happen? Why should we believe you?" Twilight asked. "Because it's all true. I believed in him, and I...I told myself that it was worth it because we were curing cancer, but now this is different. It's something else." Dr. Skirth explained. "You might need to go to the cops to deal with it." Fluttershy said. "I can't do that Fluttershy. I'm afraid of what will happen to my family if Drake found out about that I went to the police. And Eddie was right. He's a dangerous man, and he's a very powerful man." Dr. Skirth said. "Oh I know how dangerous he is. Because the first time I interviewed him just once, I lose my job the next day. I lost my career, I lost my relationship, I lost my apartment, I lost everything I ever cared about. You know why? Carlton Drake ruined me. Finished. Now if what your saying is true and genuinely, if you have proof, then you should be very, very, very afraid." Eddie said getting in her face. "Eddie. Please give her some space. Sorry for that. But if you have any proof that Drake is bad then where is it?" Spike said. Dr. Skirth took out some pictures and started going through them. "Here. I managed to take some photos of all this before I left the Life Foundation. Now all this is evidence. This is what happened the first time he tried using a symbiote on a human. It killed him. And all this are the previous volunteers he tested and had the same results." Dr. Skirth explained giving them the photos. One by one they see the dead bodies in the chambers and they started getting shocked and horrified looks. "To me this isn't what I was planning to do. So girls, Spike, Eddie? Please. Please stop him from doing this." The gang all received the shocked looks and they couldn't believe it. The symbiotes in them were telling the truth the whole time!! Then they told Dr. Skirth that they need a minute and faced away, headed in an alley while Eddie was still with Dr. Skirth. "Ok. Start talking cause now I'm listening." Eddie said. In the alley..... "Um. You what guys in our bodies? I think we may owe you an BIG apology. You were right the whole time! Drake is killing people using your kind!" Twilight said. "Oh NOW you see the truth about Drake! Now you finally know what kind of shit he is doing behind people's backs." Scorn said sarcastically. "Ok we're sorry for not believing you sooner. You were right and we we're wrong. You had every right to try and accuse him for this." Twilight apologized. "Now we want and need to stop him. So please help us." Rarity begged. "Why should we? You never gave us a chance to stop an actual criminal and now you want our help? Forget it. We ain't doing this dance again." Agony refused. "Please darling. We promise we won't doubt you ever again. We now see your telling the truth about him. In fact we have a deal. If you help us stop Drake then we'll allow you to stay with us and live in Canterlot City. How's that?" Rarity offered. "Rarity what are you doing?" Rainbow asked. "Actually I'm quite interested in this deal Rarity said. Besides I think this could make up for not believing us eariler." Slasher said. "Really? Ok if you say so." Rainbow said. "Very well. If you keep your end of the bargain then I suppose we should too. You have a deal. One thing though. You need let us kill any of Drake's guys that might try to com in here. No excuses." Agony replied. "Ok yes. We promise. You can kill any of Drake's goons! Now please help us stop him!" Spike cried. "You don't need to yell! We'll help you. Now let's get to the Life Foundation and shut that place down." Lasher said. Looks like the symbiotes got the girls back on the same page again.
