It was a lot like scraping glass across a blackboard, something he used to practice a lot as a kid. Most of the symbiote hit the ground with a wet thud, sinking into the unstable ground faster than Colossus himself. The creature swam through the mush until he could pull himself onto something solid a few feet away from Beach Bunny. The blonde was pouring blood, badly wounded yet still obediently churning the earth into quicksand beneath Colossus.<br/><br/>The shreds that remained in Colossus' grip wriggled and clung, stretching out up his arms to form a thin red skin over the metal. The potent blend of symbiote and nanobots allowed for such rapid reproduction, Carnage's next plan was already oozing into effect: If you couldn't pull their insides out, then try to swallow them whole.<br/><br/>The Zombie Girl hissed at the fainting figure in the window as she ran along a tree branch. Death wanted this one dead and it was all that mattered, all that was, although the noises and smells of so many lost pets burning and exploding around them made her empty chest feel even more empty. The black wave of decaying insects washed up the wall of the house only to fall in multiple flashes of fire. The man with the coat was suddenly close, his flashing cards keeping her pets from their target. Zombie Girl reached for him as he leaped towards the window – the exposed bone of her fingertips curling like claws - but before she could take hold of the Cajun a red, white, and blue blur sliced her arm off at the shoulder. A series of tiny explosions blinded her milky eyes and she fell from the tree, away from the girl in the window, away from her goal. Bones broke at the landing and her body twitched, unable to rise.<br/><br/>Carnage pulled himself together with a groan that rose to a rather high-pitched scream directed at the black chickens that had just torn him a new one. “Jesus Christ, bitch! You want summa this? Wait yer turn!” At that moment, Gambit's cards struck home and seared the crimson tentacles that had stretched up around his head. “What did I JUST say?!” More yelling and then he noticed another joker in blue tights throwing a frisbie around. “The FUCK did I just say?!!”<br/><br/>The insults were compounded by Bitsy landing a really good kick in the place his ribs should have been if everything had finished reassembling itself, which it hadn't. Carnage flew across the yard, connecting with and wrapping around a lamppost near the sidewalk. He was officially at the end of his rope now, fangs gnashing the air. His favorite tool was down, her dead things starting to flounder without her focused attention. The other one had almost sunk the battleship but that wasn't near good enough. Where had the birdbrain got to? Bitch must have got while the getting was good.<br/><br/>Bitsy's webslinging pulled Beach Bunny out of the scene. Her hands left the ground and the ground became as solid as it had ever been. Shiny would have some leverage back. The odds were no longer in his favor and it made his tentacles itch as they thrashed around the post.<br/><br/>“You ruined it, you ruined the fuckin' party!” Carnage shrieked. “Was gonna be so epic! A Mary Jane meat cake and pin-the-head on the Spider! But now... ain't nobody got time for this shit!” The creature threw itself away from the battle, half-running half-leaping directly towards Beach Bunny and Spider-Man's web on the house next door. Carnage jumped onto the net, leaving sticky red marks on the webbing, and sank his fanged maw into Beach Bunny's midsection. The woman didn't scream as blood bubbled up and spilled over her full lips, as her body came apart in the symbiote's mouth. Failure tasted bitter, but it was better than nothing at all.<br/><br/>Crimson skin peeled back for a moment, revealing Cletus Kasady's severely bruised and blood-smeared smile. “Your fault,” he spat, pointing an accusatory tentacle first at Bitsy, then at Colossus. “It's a damn shame. Two girls you didn't even know. Somebody's daughter. Somebody's main squeeze.” His fist closed on a piece of the Beach Bunny's innards and it popped with a sickening sound. “Now... you're the end of them both. Death ain't got a conscience. But I bet you do.”<br/><br/>Carnage reformed itself and fled.<br/>
