Vorrak knew he was different from other symbiotes. Instead of coexisting with their host, he leaned more toward controlling and taking over someone.
Through this, he also knew that he was at least resistant to fire and sound. While he could at least survive without a host. But he is weak, and he can't help but bond with someone and control those bodies as it is easier for him.
And now, when he first saw Kedu Okonjo, there was a drive to control and corrupt him. As he was trying to consume him, he felt a sense of helplessness.
That is why he tried to persuade and come up with a plan on how to make Kedu Okonjo accept him. Now, Vorrak achieved his plan of having Kedu Okonjo as his host, forming a symbiotic relationship.
"I am Vorrak, a symbiote who will make you stronger than you are right now. Trust my word and you will be able to dominate the whole of Wakanda or even the whole world," the Corruptor said truthfully.
As long as he grows in the future without hindrance, even immortality can be achieved. Kedu Okonjo doubted his words, but he knew he couldn't do anything against him.
He was helpless against Vorrak when it came to physical confrontations, only winning by resisting mentally.
"Where are you from, Vorrak? And what is your purpose for coming to Earth?" Kedu Okonjo asked, curious about what made Vorrak land on Earth.
Vorrak searched through his memories, fragments of memories. As he tried to recall, the more his mind suffered. Before he could pry it open, he caught a glimpse of a sword, so dark but also bright, like a sun but blocked by the moon, creating an eclipse.
He didn't know why, but his senses were tingling, a sensation coming from the depths of his soul to locate and retrieve the item.
"A sword... I must retrieve the sword," Vorrak struggled to speak as his eyes blurred, entering into a deep slumber.
Kedu Okonjo became alarmed as he sensed his body, specifically inside him. Vorrak was having a difficult time as his mind was crumbling from the intense pain coming from inside him.
"What happened to you!? Vorrak?" Kedu Okonjo tried every possible way to communicate with Vorrak but then, he thought,
'Isn't this an opportunity to let this thing out of my body? But how?' Kedu Okonjo contemplated as malicious intent appeared in his mind.
Because Vorrak was still new to his power, he was ejected from Kedu Okonjo and couldn't maintain the rest inside of him. Without a single hesitation, Kedu Okonjo pulled Vorrak's weakened body out of his chest.
By forcefully pulling the black substance, Vorrak's instinctive reaction was to cling to dear life, but Kedu Okonjo was not someone to be underestimated. Even though he wasn't superhuman, living in Wakanda meant he had the strength to resist a weakened Vorrak.
With a final pull, he successfully pulled him out and Kedu Okonjo looked at the black substance, which seemed to be dying as it slowly receded into a fist-sized black substance in a half-liquid state.
As for Vorrak, despite getting 5% of the Rhinoceros's physical abilities, he was severely weakened by the forceful attempt to recall his origin.
He knew that he was human, but he didn't know where he came from.
It might be somewhere futuristic, somewhere with superpowers, or a world full of entertainment.
Even with his Symbiote Entry, he couldn't resist the urge to enter a deep slumber.
As for Kedu Okonjo, being freed from Vorrak's grasp, he made a sprint.
He didn't look back and continued his run.
He wasn't dumb enough to stay and try to kill Vorrak, as he tried last time and knew that Vorrak had great regenerative capabilities; even with his vibranium spear, he could only manage to injure him a little before he grew back.
A few moments after Kedu Okonjo escaped, Vorrak regained consciousness, only to find Kedu Okonjo missing.
Thankfully, even if it was a brief moment of bonding, he already had a general knowledge of the world and where to exit and enter Wakanda.
He also knew the exact date and year.
It was 1942, a year before Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America, joined the military and was selected for the Project Rebirth Program conducted by the Strategic Scientific Reserve.
A plan had already come up for the future.
Vorrak thought of Kedu Okonjo, who left him in this wilderness.
While it was rational for Kedu Okonjo to pull him out, it still left a bad taste in his mouth.
Before he left Wakanda, he must kill Kedu Okonjo, and to do that, he will bond with different types of animals and get their DNA.
Ten days from now, Kedu Okonjo will be gone from this world and cease to exist.
"I must applaud your bravery, Kedu Okonjo. But your time ends here; better clean your neck, " he thought, with murderous intent oozing from his body as he took on a human shape but retained the characteristics of a symbiote.
For that brief moment of bonding, he had already studied every cell, muscle, bone, nerve, and brain.
Now, he can easily replicate a human body, but he can't control his skin color; he doesn't mind.
It is just convenient for him to take on this form unless he finds another, like a bird.
Flying in the sky and doing some aerial moves is a man's dream.
Unfortunately, because he was too focused on controlling Kedu Okonjo, he wasn't able to obtain any DNA from him.
Now, he must return to bonding with animals before he can face large groups of opponents.
Though he's strong, he's not yet a match for multiple people.
His limit is three to five, and he hasn't gained any martial arts skills to give him an edge.
He might know how to throw a punch, but he isn't naive enough to think that's all it takes.
Even a tiger knows how to strike properly.
What makes him believe he can just barge in, kill someone, and walk away unscathed?
His priority is to gather more DNA and learn from every animal he bonds with.
The way they hunt, live, and their experiences are essential to him.
Since his time with Kedu Okonjo was brief, he didn't gain much from Kedu's fighting experience.
Though a bit regretful, it doesn't matter, as there will be many more opportunities ahead.
With the way he is now, being alive is more than enough than getting killed.

Kedu Okonjo was running with all his might, gripping his spear tightly as he navigated the familiar terrain.
Finally, a few minutes later, after running away from Vorrak, he arrived at a tribe with people wearing the same outfit as him. He didn't even glance at them and instead went straight toward the Chief's house.
Inside, the chief of the Jabari Tribe was seen seated in his chair, looking down. Sensing someone had entered his house, the tribe chief looked up, seeing Kedu Okonjo panting, and sensed a foreboding feeling welling inside him.
"What's the matter, Kedu?" the tribe chief asked, looking at him calmly like the leader he was.
"I've encountered something bizarre, Chief M'Babwe." M'Babwe frowned but let him continue.
"A black slime capable of occupying a living being appeared on the outskirts of our tribe. Thankfully, I succeeded in escaping from its grasp.
It called itself Vorrak. It is strong and can regenerate extremely fast. We must strengthen our defenses and look out for it; it might come here."
Kedu then explained his encounter with Vorrak in great detail, from the first time they met until the time he pulled it out of his chest.
As M'Babwe listened intently, weighing the severity of this tribesman's problem, he said, "I have heard your concern; you may go now."
Seeing Kedu Okonjo bowing and leaving, M'Babwe sighed before looking to his right, where a figure appeared. "Umar, go and tell the warriors of the Jabari tribe about this 'Vorrak' and keep an eye out for it; it might appear."
With a nod, Umar, the guard of M'Babwe, immediately left to convey the message of his Tribe Chief.

"I have already used today's entry."
"I have to wait for tomorrow and consume. Before that, I must go and find some animals for me to control."
Vorrak muttered, and with the general knowledge of Wakanda, he knew where the most abundant animals gathered.
Without hesitation, he goes for some monkeys on the east side.
With 5x from the symbiote entry and 5% from the rhinoceros's physical capabilities,
he could run at 12.5 mph for as long as his stamina lasts.
Having previously had an animal host such as a rhinoceros means he has at least high stamina to contain the large body of a rhinoceros, and now with his lean body of a human.
This means he won't get tired as easily as a rhinoceros.
