Chapter 1: The Gateway

Site 243: Location Redacted

SCP-10506

Codename: "Gateway"

"So," asked a woman, "What do we know about it?"

"Not much, Director Smith. Only that it leads to another world, possibly another universe."

The object in question, SCP-10506, is an arch, 10.65ft tall and 5.67ft wide with unknown ancient writings across the top of the arch. It has shown some anomalous properties, locals in the area had reported that the gateway only appears on a night of a full moon, after that it disappears. All of the witnesses have reported seeing beings on the other side, but they seem to be unaware of our existence. These being are about the size of a normal human, have white hair and horns. After the witness interviews, the Foundation took precautions to wipe all information of this structure was erased from all civilian records and memories.

"Not very helpful Lt. Johnson. What of the old director's notes? He leave anything behind?"

"Negative, all of his work went up in flames during the containment breach."

Another MTF agent approaches them. "Sir, Epsilon-11 has finished their final sweep of the site. All SCPs are accounted for and contained. 34 site personal are dead, 11 injured another 15 are missing. Epsilon-11 sustained zero casualties"

"Damn, we only had 77 people here. Very well, carry on." the Lt. Replied.

"Yes sir!" the agent went about his business.

Director Smith looked shocked, "Epsilon-11? I wasn't aware the breach was that bad."

The Lt. Frowned, he had been one of the lucky ones during the breech, and was unhappy with how the Foundation handled the situation. "Unfortunately, it was. After site 37 had a massive power outage, we were the closest facility. We were forced to enact emergency keter class containment procedures and try and cram them into this facility. Site 243 was only created a month ago, and without keter class in mind. This site's focus was supposed to the gateway. We had bear minimum keter class containment units here, and well you see how that turned out..."

"Oh, It would seem that I've inherited a bigger mess than I thought. I'm sorry about what happened here."

"Isn't usually a mess when someone gets promoted to director?"

"Lieutenant, I prefer not to think like that," Smith scowled. The Foundation had a reputation of only promoting people to director when someone died from containment breaches, and she didn't want to be grouped in with that.

"Yes 'Mam. What are your orders?

"SCP-10506 will have to wait. We need to get site 37 back up and running so we and contain these SCPs properly. Make sure the injured get the help they need I will assist you in any way I can."

"Understood, I will inform... whoever is left here."

1 Year later

Xadia:

The other side of the SCP-10506

It's late at night, the moon is full. An odd group is out camping in the woods. An Elf and two humans, as well as some low-ranking crown guards. They've just completed a long journey and were trying unwind a bit.

"Bait? Bait!" the young king calls out, "Callum, you find him?"

"Nope, no clue Ez. Rayla?

"I have not one clue where that frog went... Wait a second. I see something, it's glowing. That has to be him!"

The three of the them rushed to the light. When they found the source of the light, they found a glow toad, who may have eaten too many berries. "Oh bait..." Ezran sighs, "What am I going to do with you?"

Bait groans in response. Ezran scolds him "Hey, it's not my fault you ate to many berries!"

"Alright, mission completed. Frog that hates me has been found. Can we get back to camp? I'm *yawns* tired." The very sleepy elf interjects.

"Yeah Ez, It's getting kinda late. If we stay out much longer the sleep demons will get you! Rawr!" The older step brother teases.

Ez gives Callum a blank stare, "Do I look like I was born yesterday?"

Both Rayla and Callum look at each other, and respond in unison, "Yes".

Ezan, without saying a word just walks away. Back to camp. Keeping that blank stare the whole way back. The realization of how young he was dawned on him as soon as he said it. He immediately knew what was coming. Before exiting their view, he turns around and says, "As king, I demand you make me pancakes tomorrow morning."

Callum jokingly bows, "As you command. The Pancakes shall be served tomorrow. Even though we don't have anything to make them."

"oooh Callum, you really shouldn't have that attitude with your king. He may punish you." Rayla teases.

"Rayla, you make a good point. If my demands are not meet, you will be required to do the jerk-face dance... In front of the entire kingdom!"

"Hey wait! You can't do that!"

"Yes he can, he's the King."

"Rayla, I love you, but please don't take his side."

Ez and Ralya laugh at Callum's expense. "Well, I'll be heading back with Bait now. You're right. I am pretty tired."

"Ok, I'll be joi-" Callum is interrupted when Rayla grabs his hand, "We'll see you back at camp Ez," Rayla calls out to Ezran, while give Callum a sly look. "Umm.. Yeah, see you there Ez."

Ezran shoots them a confuse, "You two are weird..." he continues back to camp. The guards that have been following them head back with Ezran.

"So, Rayla what did you have in mi-"

Rayla grabs his scarf, just like the second time they kissed, and says "Shut up."

She leans in, and kisses Callum, and Callum accepts.

"After saving the World, let's just enjoy tonight," Rayla teased

It was going to be a good night.

Site 243

The moon is full. The conditions are right. The research is complete. Director Smith, under less favorable circumstances, had taken over the facility exactly 1 year ago. The day of the containment breach, and site 37's power failure, which the cause of was determined to be CHAOS Insurgency double agents, all exactly one year ago. Those traitors have since been... dealt with. And now, they were ready to uncover the secrets of this gateway, with hopes of finding something useful to the foundation.

"Captain Johnson, is your team ready?"

"Yes director, we are ready when you are. Alright boys, lock and load," Now Captain Johnson prepares to lead his first team through SCP-10506. The director flips a switch, and the gateway opens...
