Rose Quartz looks out over the landscape keeping a keen eye on a convoy of black trucks driving down the road. She and the Crystal Gems have been tracking the movements of this trucks for awhile now, always having an open ear for any tips of the trucks origin. Once they had learned that there was some organization watching Beach City they started to hunt it's main base down. She soon slides down the hill she was perched on to meet up with the others.
"They're heading north west into the desert, if we track them we should be able to find their base of operations." Rose nodded to Garnet as she looked off into the distance for a bit "let's get going" the others nodded at nod as they began to follow the trucks deeper into the desert.
Night had fallen on the desert as the Crystal Gem stared at the massive facility from an outcropping in the cliffs. "Whoa, hey P look at how massive that place is!" Pearl wanted to tell amethyst to be quiet but she had to agree with her, the facility they were staring at was massive almost as if it was a military base. "Alright Garnet any plans on how we get it?" Pearl turned to look at the fusion, she may not be able to see her eyes but she could still feel the intense thought in her eyes "first Amethyst will need to scout the whole place from above to get a full map of the facility."
Night air cooled Amethyst as she flew over the facility, her eyes wide even shapeshifted as an owl, it was much bigger than she had first thought, it was like a maze branching and looping around itself, some areas looked like massive warehouses, some areas looking oddly placed, warehouses stacked on warehouses, hallways connecting to each other. Another thing that made Amethyst confused was the sheer amount of armed guards patrolling the outside, she had seen enough of the place to gauge a decent map of the inside of the facility so she decided to return to the others.
Meanwhile back at the cliffside Rose felt odd, she felt and odd rumbling pain in her gem. "Rose are you okay?" she shook her head a bit "yes i'm… fine" a loud blaring siren snapped the gems to attention as Amethyst landed "something big is happening, now's the time to strike" they gems dropped down to break into the facility was the guards ran inside at the sound of the alarms, little did they know that things were much worse than any of them had thought.
Meanwhile inside the facility guards and scientists were rushing to the cell they were keeping Pink Diamond in, which was now full of pink dust. "What the fuck just happened?!" a feminine voice called out as a slim ebony woman in a rather professional looking uniform along with a lab coat and an amulet hanging around her neck pushed past the small wave of guards. One of the junior researchers turned to look at her "we're not sure Dr. Bright, but the subject just bursted.." the woman turned to look at the junior researcher "what do you mean she bursted?" the guards got the door open as a massive cloud of pink ash washed over the crowd. The crowd coughed and wheezed as the cloud entered the vents, the tiny particles of diamond like a million tiny knives shredded wires causing the lights to flicker.
Meanwhile in another part of the facility the heavy metal door to SCP-173's containment cell ground to a halt as the lights flickered. "Huh we seem to be have trouble getting the door to respond, um please stand b-" a series of loud crunches could be heard from inside the room as the guard stationed there jolted up, the statue staring at him from below the catwalk "shi-" he broke eye contact with it for only a few seconds to grab his gun, and suddenly 173 was up on the catwalk, he felt like he had been slammed against the wall, the spray painted lime green eyes of the statue staring into his soul. The guard shook and sweated as the stubby concrete hands crushed his windpipe, he knew there was no hope now, 173 had him in it's grips and it would be letting go anytime soon.
The alarms blared as researchers ran like chickens with their heads chopped off, as guards pushed past them the sounds of horrors untold echoed from all around them, soon the whole facility shook as if a wall had be blown out. "Warning all euclid and keter class SCPs have breached containment, warning al euclid and keter class SCPs have breached conta-" Garnet had destroyed a wall making a hole into the massive facility, the sounds of alarms and yelling filling the air, "Rose should we split up?" she turned to Rose as the alarms cut off and the lights gave out with a soft vrum "hmmm yes, we can cover more ground that way, try and find a command center and we'll meet there." and so with a nod from each member the Crystal Gems split up, not knowing what horrors awaited inside the darkness.
