------------------------ Only 4 chapters till Max's love interest!

With Max and Peter,

The White Monstrosity stood 12 feet tall, with bulking Muscles, arms thick as logs, legs compact and, eight-pack abs. Overall, his body would make any Body-Builder look away in shame.

All that was black on Max had turned white, excluding his white Comma-Eyes that became black with a glowing, -white vertical pupil in the middle. And a thick layer of red-symbiotic goo that still covered his hands till his forearms.

A black dragon spreading its wings replaced the spider-logo that was on his c.h.e.s.t as well as the circular pattern that shone red on his back.

Max's sudden change also made him look more mean & intimidating. As his now white Symbiotic body gave off an oppressive aura.

.

"Err… Max is it normal for you to do that?" Peter asked, taking a step back. It was unknown if his friend was still in there. And the new transformation wasn't that pleasant looking with that vertical pupil which was glowing white.

Hearing the voice the white monstrosity looked at Peter, making the Spider-man feel like a bug that was being watched by an Apex Predator, ready to be devoured. Even while his spider-sense was going off, his whole body screamed at him, telling him to hide.

"What just happened?" Max said as his mouth split horizontally showing his pitch-black canine teeth & a fire-pit inside his mouth. Even his voice had changed, becoming deeper and having an echo when ever he spoke.

Looking up, he saw Peter, who was on guard for some reason. And knew immediately, it was he who was intimidating the Spider-Hero. He felt his eyes releasing some-kind of energy that was targeting his friend.

He looked away quickly, giving spider-man a time to catch his breath, as he dropped on his bum, on the concrete floor and starting to huff for air, for what felt like hours to him.

Max quickly retreated his new power deactivating his White-Symbiotic form as the darkness enveloped him yet again turning him back, to his normal symbiotic form.

Max took on his human form as he went towards Peter, who was still panting. He grabbed the boy waking him from his stupor.

"Hey, Peter you with me…" Max asked as he pseudo-boded with him to calm down Peter's mind.

"Ye-Yeah, what was that?" Peter asked, his body still trembling. "It was…" he couldn't find the words to describe what he had seen.

Max didn't say anything as he, fully bonded with the teenager to calm him down. 'Hey, I am sorry.' Max apologized, checking Peter's memories.

For Max, who had merely glanced at him, but for Peter, it was as if he spent hours recalling his worst nightmares.

.

"I am so, so Sorry!," Max said.

"I know, and for the last time, I don't blame you for what happened," Peter said, forcing himself to smile.

Max sighed, dropping his shoulders.

"Ah, it wasn't your fault, just cheer up," Peter said. "Now let's test out your new powers."

They stood in front of an abandoned warehouse, dust-filled room, broken machinery, vehicles that couldn't be used, were piled up. It was the best place they found, where they could start their secret base or to test their powers.

There were also a few rooms, that Max had changed into making a makeshift living room. For the two Patients, they brought back.

"Ok, I am gonna start," Max said, preparing himself to use his new powers.

"Wait!" Peter said. "Let me have some distance first." He said, jumping backward several meters, hiding behind a giant machine.

"It's nothing personal." He said peeking from the cracks of the machinery.

Max gave out a wry chuckle transforming into his 7 Feet Normal Symbiotic form before activating his 'New Powers'. As the Dark part of his Symbiotic-skin retreated inside, shedding into his new white form.

Max observed his body, trying to understand his reason for turning Negative. Yes, Max, just by looking at his own changes, could tell that his body had transformed into something similar to Anti-Venom. But it was different from that.

The same experiment that gave Cloak & Dagger their powers, that also gave Mr Negative his powers. While Cloak gets his power from Dark dimension & Dagger gets her power from the Light Dimension.

Mr Negative on the other hand, gets his power from both giving him some weird yet powerful powers.

Max stretched his body to see any difference; his physical power hadn't changed much. In fact, he felt that his strength was leaking. It wasn't a drastic change but a slow & steady one.

Max breathed in deeply, drawing forth his negative powers. As he felt his body become tense, the new energy that was light-&-dark based streamed into him.

He felt it, the warmth & coldness of his new power, it's fury, like a tempest that had been injected directly into his veins. The power of it was invigorating but also very dangerous.

Holding onto that power, Max held his hand forward, opening his palm, releasing the raging power within, as it became a concentrated beam of glowing dark energy. Destroying anything in its path. It was as if a bolt of powerful dark lightning was released from his hand, ripping anything upfront.

"Max!" Peter called coming out of the corner.

"How did you do that?!" Peter asked. "Energy blast that strong! It's more powerful than Iron-Man's repulsors."

With disbelief, Max nodded before pointing his forefinger into a handgun, trying to do the same. But to create a more concentrated beam, As dark lightning blasted out of his finger. Dancing in a zig-zag pattern before it hit its target. More controlled but still pierced anything that was in it's path.

Max deactivated his powers as he breathed in relief. The new power was intoxicating to him, hard to control yet enjoyable to use.

"Yeah, it's powerful but hard to control," Max said as he made a blade out of his black-symbiotic goo pushing it into the ground. Before taking a few steps back, it was one of his new powers to create projectiles or weapons that he could detach from his body. He gained it from his fellow symbiote Riot.

Before, he could create symbiote based weapons like spikes, blades, axes, but it was hard for him to use them in long-range as he couldn't detach the weapons.

The Blade was wide enough for it to look like a viewing mirror, standing still as it was grounded. Max transformed into his Negative form yet again. Drawing forth the light aspect of the Dimensional energy as his colors inverted.

He held his finger pistol forward, shooting at the Wide Blade that was made out of Organic-Vibranium —going through cleanly, poking a hole into it.

Max was visibly surprised by his new powers, a blast that can destroy Organic-Vibranium would have to be very powerful. He wanted to know more, so this time he held his hand forward & released a powerful blast from it. Only to get it redirected the moment it touched the Blade.

'So, wide-ranged attacks could still be deflected.' He thought.

Rubbing his chin, Max tried to make weapons from his body into a blade or something similar. But was discouraged to find out that, he couldn't. In his new form, even changing his size was almost impossible for him.

'So, I can't create stuff. And using energy manipulation on it is very hard, but then if it is my negative form…' Getting an Idea Max walked forward going in front of an Old-Bike that had the dust settled on it. Even it's the engine was visibly broken. Moving his hands forward, he touched the bike, trying to use his Techno-based power on it.
