A confused Flash asks the Venom symbiote why he had never assumed humanoid form without a guest before. The symbiote replied that because he couldn't do it, but since it was purified has changed and has been able to grow. He admits that he prefers to be united to him, since in this way he can feel the Cosmos more clearly and considers him a wonderful guest, before correcting himself and calling him partner. 803 informs Venom that they are under attack by Pik Rollo, a criminal who is wanted in multiple systems for murder, treason and fire. Pik Rollo tells him that his head belongs to Mercurio.
