Immediately after that heart to heart, two Anomalous Bursts emerge just outside Site-1216! From the first one comes blue alien like creature with robes depicting a golden gear on them. Its eyes are a horizontal ellipse yellow and it has detached hands. Upon its head rests a seven-pointed gilded crown with a giant blue gem similar to a sapphire sticking out of it.

From the second gateway, a twelve-pointed tiara, blacker than an empty sky drops from it. It looks spiderlike in appearance and has demonic horns atop it. A single red eyelike structure is embedded in the center. That schizophrenic down the street can almost claim that they can hear sweet nothings emanating from the object. But what do they know, they hear voices all the time?

All of the Loud siblings (and SCP-239-EN) run out and see the strange creature that just breached their dimension.

"Agmaglori! Agmaglori!" Lily tries to warn them

Lincoln looks up and yes, they are not hallucinating! Magolor from Kirby's Return to Dreamland has somehow managed to break out of the video game world and into this comic book world that the Louds live in!

"I wonder if…"

Lincoln tries to use his 4th wall powers to "pause" the game. He succeeds.

{Magolor deceived Kirby and stole Halcandra's legendary treasure, the Master Crown! It's up to Kirby to save the universe.}

"No problem, we can just pry the Master Crown off of his head."

Leni tries to use a psionic blast to knock the crown off, but it is still on his head!

"It must be ingrained in his head. It's going to hurt a lot, but we can try tearing it off!"

Sigurrós tries yanking the Master Crown off of Magolor's head, but it still won't budge!

"Something must be up with that crown…"

"That's the Master Crown. It grants its wearer limitless power!"

Lincoln "pauses" the game again and sees if there is more information. There is.

Vs. Master Crown

A crown crafted by the Ancients, it grants the wearer limitless power! The crown may be evil, sentient and can shapeshift, but you know what they say; One crown to rule them all…

"The Master Crown must be emanating so much power that it is immune to reality warping attacks!"

"So, what do we do, Leni?"

"We fight on its level! We need to access the Kirbyverse and use Kirby's copy abilities to destroy that crown!"

Lincoln "unpauses" and immediately Leni sends them into Another Dimension to avoid the destruction this battle will inevitably cause.


"lmg hrl sgej ez fbeedbpih, lmc ejl, mjd mbb ez oepg dlingli nbb flseal hgpl!"

"Can you make me and Sam a couple?"

"Ni Sam m vngb?"

"Yes."

"Ez sepgil, oep dlvljlgmhl! n bncl oep!"

The eye of the demonic diadem shakes its eye as if it was nodding.

Luna attempts to pick up the crown and…

"Luna!"

"What?"

"We have bigger problems at hand! Drop the crown and let's go!"

"Iepjdi bncl oep rmwl m wgefbla. N smj rlbw oep iebwl nh...tpih lmg al!"

"That crown is obviously evil, Luna. Drop it and help us!"

"Ie n'a lwnb flsmpil n beec bncl m iwndlg mjd rmwl dlaej regji nhr mj lwnb lol nj nh? iepjdi bncl irl'i gmsnih he al."

"The crown says you're racist, Leni."

"Racist?! Crowns aren't supposed to talk, Luna! There must be some type of demon possessing it. Now leave the demon to its demons and stop wasting time!"

Leni thinks about it for a moment…

"Wait, how did you know the crown was saying I was racist? Did Lucy teach you to speak demon?"

"Uh, I'm right here, guys."

Lucy's sudden appearance freaks everyone out.

"No, the crown speaks English, not demon."

"Or the demon is manipulating your mind. Leni will seal the cursed crown, just drop it!"

"Uh guys, Magalor is destroying us right now, so can some of you…help us? We're fighting a losing battle right now!"

Leni and Lucy go off to help the others fight Magalor, while Luna sets the crown atop her head!

"Oli! Mi m glmgd, ljteo vlhhnjv zpscld ejl anbbnej hnali ewlg mh ejsl!"

Luna is hit with an immediate wave of euphoria. Is this the power of DAM-230? No, it's more like someone shoved SCP-297-EN in her and set the power to high!


Meanwhile, back to the main threat here.

"Ok, we need decent copy abilities to counter Magolor's energy blasts. Lily won't participate, because she's a baby and is an easy target."

Leni warps Lily back home.

"Since leaf is one of the most tactile abilities, and since the main way do deal damage is to dance, I say Lisa should get this one."

Lisa gets the leaf copy ability.

"So, how do I use it?"

"Breakdance. But you can also throw leaves like kunai, erect a leaf tower, and even hide in a pile of leaves to avoid damage!"

"I must admit that sounds pretty cool."

"Next, Lola should get the poison ability, as not only does it fit her personality, she can spit poison bubbles, emit a fume tower, and can even surf on the sludge itself!"

Lola gets the poison copy ability.

"Seriously, poison is the best you could come up with for me?"

"Since Lana loves animals, she can become one!"

Lana gets the animal copy ability.

"All you can do is drill rush enemies with your claws, its super easy to use."

"Oh, then I should be able to get the ghost ability, then."

"If it didn't suck. Ghost allows one to possess normal enemies, and if there aren't any around, you're just kind of stuck. However, I think I found something better, ESP. It allows the user to attack with psychokinetic blasts!"

Lucy gets the ESP copy ability.

"Do I really have to wear the hat?"

"Yes. Now on to Lincoln, he should get the most versatile copy ability, so he gets the spark ability!"

Lincoln gets the spark copy ability!

"Wait? The spark ability? All I can do is shock people that get close to me!"

Somewhere, a Sabrepulse song is heard breaking the will of yet another JSAB or Project Arrythmia player.

"Not this time. In Return to Dreamland, the devs fused spark and plasma together!"

"So, I got one of the most overpowered abilities in the game? Now that's shocking!"

"Puns are my department, Linc!" Luan chides

"Since Lynn is the strongest one of us, it only makes sense that she gets the strongest ability…"

"Aww, yeah! Fighter time!"

"Hammer."

Lynn gets the hammer copy ability.

"Hammer?! I wanted fighter! Oh well, at least this ability is super overpowered! Come on Sparky, let's see who can deal more damage!"

"You're on!"

"Luna is…doing something…I guess, So Luan's ability is circus, for obvious reasons."

"Oh, do I get to wear clown makeup?"

"No, just a stupid looking big top hat."

Luan gets the circus copy ability.

"I'm giving myself archer, because it also allows me to hide, while Lori gets whip."

Leni gets the archer copy ability.

Lori gets the whip copy ability.

"Why do I have a cowboy hat?"

"Because you have the whip ability. Not only can you whip enemies, you can also ride it like a helicopter."

"Oh."

"And just to set the mood, I'll activate a cheat code."

Lisa inputs the cheat code.

M-i-d-o-r-i G-u-r-i-n

"Yanderedev! Yanderedev!"

"Huh, I must have inputted it wrong. Let me try this."

みどりぐりん

The Loud siblings' appearance changes to match the Kirbyverse.

"Alright, let's get this over with."

With nine copy abilities facing off against Magolor and the Master Crown, this should be easy!

"Remember, the Master Crown is the target, not Magolor." Leni reminds them


The Master Crown changes Magolor's form into a red and dark blue miasma. His horns and the belt covering his mouth turn a royal purple. His arms are surrounded by six-pointed suns with ancient Halcandran markings on them. The Master Crown wiggles on the top of his head as Magolor rans down shadowy balls on the Louds. The battle has begun.

Master Crown HP: 25000
Magolor HP: 10000

Magolor casts a trio of shadow balls. As Lola counters them with a poison wave, Leni manages to take a pot shot at the crown for 40 damage, Lucy casted A PK blast dealing 100 damage, while Lincoln calls down a thunderbolt, striking the Master Crown and Magolor for 60 damage each.

Master Crown HP: 24800
Magolor HP: 9940

Teleporting around the arena, Magolor fire another trio of energy balls, this time at the southeastern side from him. Lisa counters with a leaf tower, damaging both of them for 70 damage. Lori manages to whip the Master crown 4 times for a total of 200 damage. Leni managed to knock 5 arrows into it for 200 damage. Lucy manages to unleash another blast for 100 damage, while Lynn manages to get an 8 hit hammer flip for 400 damage!

Master Crown HP: 23830
Magolor HP: 9870

Next, he attempts to skewer them with energy-based spikes. Since everyone is not Kirby, they can't float and are forced to guard against the attack, except Lisa and Leni, who evade the attack. They counter attack with a combined total of 2190 damage!

Master Crown HP: 21670
Magolor HP: 9840

He fires off a quartet of energy balls, two on each side. Lola and Lisa counter with their tower attacks, dealing 140 damage to both. Luan throws a bowling pin at the crown for 50 damage. Lucy unleashes another PK blast for 100 damage. Lana drill rushes at the crown for 250 damage. Lynn does another hammer flip, a 6 hit one for 300 damage.

Master Crown HP: 20830
Magolor HP: 9700

Magolor ducks behind the background and fires of five fire shots from his hand. Luckily, The Louds can access all 3 dimensions as opposed to Kirby's 2! They take the opportunity to counterattack for 3180 damage in total!

Master Crown HP: 17710
Magolor HP: 9640

Teleporting to the foreground, Magolor fires off a sextet of energy balls. Lola creates an opening on one side as half off the Louds attack! Lisa fires of 7 bursts of leaf kunai, 14 of which hit the crown and 7 hit Magolor for a combined total of 840 damage. Lola fires a toxic bubble at it for 30 damage. Lucy fires off another PK blast for 100 damage. Lynn does another 8 hit hammer flip for 400 damage. Lori whips the crown 5 times for a total of 250 damage.

Master Crown HP: 15460
Magolor HP: 9430

Magolor generates a portal and Sphere Doomers come out of it! The Louds sidestep out of the way as Leni and Lori deal a total of 2500 damage to the Master Crown!

Master Crown HP: 12960
Magolor HP: 9430

Next, he teleports the background and summons a black hole. But the Louds can once again take advantage of the 3-dimension advantage they have to run away from it. Black holes in Kirby games are weird. And it's a good thing too. If they got sucked up into a black hole, it would be a one hit kill to them! Sadly, they are only able to get the Master Crown down to 12500 HP before it enters phase two!

It destroys its hapless vessel and mutates it using a black green fire. The Master crown itself shapeshifts into seven-pointed silver antler like monstrosity, with the leftmost and rightmost points shift into gnarled horns. The blue gem is now redder than blood. The vessel roars as it begins to attack.

"A sad shell possessed by the limitless power of the Master Crown, no more than a manifestation of the crown itself."

Meanwhile…a runic charm is seen pulsing in the background…

Master Crown HP: 12500
Magolor Soul HP: 0

His first attack is to summon random Kirby enemies, they only manage to deal 200 damage to the Master Crown. Next, it teleports into the background and attempts to skewer them with vine-like energy coming from four portals. The Louds scatter to the left and right sides of the arena before they come out. He then uses 8 of the portals, 3 on the ground and 4 on the top of the arena. They move under the top portals and duck under the skewers!

Master Crown HP: 12300

"Hey, since the Master Crown killed Magolor, maybe attacking its body will now do damage to the Master Crown itself!"

The Louds stop holding back and begin unleashing their most powerful attacks on it! The Master Crown summons a septet of energy balls. They lock onto Lincoln, who counters it with a lightning strike, allowing the others to deal massive damage to the entity! It follows up with another septet, this time from the left and right sides of the arena. Lucy and Lana clear these with a PK blast and a drill rush, respectively. The other Louds continue attacking and manage to deal 3030 damage in total!

Master Crown HP: 9270

The entity fires an energy blast into a portal and hides in the background as it watches a whole bunch of portals redirect the blast. Time for another counterattack! 5000 damage was dealt in total!

Master Crown HP: 4270

Next, it flings itself into a portal and tries to recreate Portal by redirecting itself with portals. It's so fast that it wasn't able to be damaged. Next, he goes into the background and creates a black fire blast. The blast kind of looks like Kirby. The Louds sidestep and counterattack for 1250 damage!

Master Crown HP: 3020

He stands to the right side of the arena and fires a massive energy blast! You know the drill. Sidestep and counterattack. Since it fired the blast for 10 full seconds, they were able to finish the battle by destroying the Master Crown.

The puppet bursts into black fire until it turns back into Magolor. The Master Crown shatters and Magolor teleports away back into his home dimension in a bright light.

"We did it! The Master Crown has been destroyed!"


"It is a shame that you only destroyed one of the crowns."

"Wait who said that…?"

Leni and Sigurrós teleport the Louds back to their home dimension. Since the Master Crown has been destroyed, this threat has been neutralized…

Right?

Wrong.

Upon arriving back home, everyone notices Luna turning ever more demonic. They also notice the crown on her head.

"We were so busy focusing on Magolor that we didn't watch Luna! She was compelled to put on the crown."

"This has to be an SCP object. I have to cross reference it with all dimensions to find a match. Maybe Sophia will know something about this!" Lisa notes as she leaves

"Luna, remove the crown!"

"Luna is gone!"

The crown uses its puppet to unleash a wave of white fire! The Louds barely dodge it.

"Come in O5-2, possible containment breach…"

"What does the anomaly look like?"

"A black tiara with a red eye on it."

"Doesn't sound like one of ours, but I heard of another dimension that may have something similar. I'll try to patch you through…"

The call is redirected to another line…

"BRSStarJV here, what seems to be your problem?"

Lisa explains the situation to the man.

"That does sound like something! Let me call my friend at the UN, he knows more about this stuff than I do."

Meanwhile, outside…

Sigurrós tries launching a bolt of light at the demon. It deflects off the crown.

"Foolish child! This crown is indestructible!"

The crown may be indestructible…but the demon isn't. If only we could get it out of the crown…

"UN Secretary General Kirby Yeo speaking. I heard from my friend that you think one of our objects is missing. It appears you are right. Ok, that object is UNDB-517…it is known by many names, but it is called the Hellfire Crown in our dimension. We just recently renamed it from the Crown of Vengeance."

CODNAME: UNDB-517/KTE-0042-Knicknack-Burrhus: Hellfire Crown
ANOMALY TYPE: Cursed Artifact
THREAT RATING: S
DESCRIPTION: A black tiara infused with demonic energy, it supposedly laid waste to some countries in the 1500s. The crown itself is indestructible and has changed the wearer's psyche to be more bloodlusty. It also grants the wearer demon powers.

"If you can recover it, can you somehow send it back to us? UNITE hasn't mastered interdimensional travel yet…oh, I have to go. There's a big UN meeting. Duty calls."

Secretary General Yeo hangs up.

"By the way, our dimension is NEU-DAY."

With that, both of them hang up.


Back outside, it seems like there's no way to fight this demon. They can't kill the puppet, since it was their sister. They also can't destroy the crown, since it just as durable as the Reality Stone! What can they do?

"Wait, where is Sigurrós?"

The screen cuts to a fiery hellscape. Sigurrós stands in front of a massive demon with pointed bat wings, a forked tail in the shape of a heart and drill like horns. It also has very pronounced sexual organs that parents have to shield their children's virgin eyes from. It must be a follower of Asmodeus…

"You dare to challenge me in my domain, child?"

Sigurrós tries to shout something like an exorcism to the demon…she fails horribly and only managed to annoy it.

"Hah! You're not even doing the exorcism right! Kid, I've been killing people since the 1500s, ever since that queen sold her soul to me to stave off death. What is it with people making deals with the devil to gain immortality anyway, it's overrated! It's still better than doing it because your bored or to fuel your gambling addiction."

The demon pulls out a contract.

"Ah, this is the one."

It promptly burns up.

"I guess the contract's void, now that it's burned up…"

It reappears in its hand.

"Not! Despite what the 30s would have you believe; These contracts are fireproof and are only negotiable on one side…take a guess on who!"

Oh great, a demon with a sense of humor. This is worse than just being killed by it.

"Tell you what, kid. If you can defeat me in a boss battle, I might let your friend's dumb sister go. Do we have a deal?"

Even Sigurrós isn't stupid enough to fall for that! Didn't they just explain to never deal with the devil?

"I'll take that as a yes."

It shapeshifts into a wizard looking titan wearing a skull helmet. It has what looks like the eye of Sauron composing its chest. It has disembodied hands and what appears to be mirrors surrounding him.

"En guarde, kid!"

Sigurrós fires off five blasts of varying powers. Each one shattering the demon.

"Oh no, you got me…"

It violently shatters over her, trying to cut her on its shards.

"Actually…"

The shards reform into a massive eye of Sauron.

"No, you don't! Come on, its never this easy kid! I'm even going easy on you, since my meat puppet isn't even attacking your friends outside! I can only imagine her face as those dummies out there try prying the crown of her head, but it's still stuck on!"

"Stop me if you've heard this one before…"

It speaks in boringese. If it's trying to kill her, it might have actually worked…it feels as though Sigurrós lost three hours of her life that she'll never get back.

"Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul."

It forms "eyelids" that quickly sprout teeth like appendages as it rushes at her. A sword forged from holy light emerges from the Deus ex Machina that is Sigurrós' imagination. There is only one way to win. Attack it until it dies and before you die. The demon had many attacks such as an eye laser, moving mirrors around, summoning enemies, deflecting a laser off mirrors, using pyrokinesis, making one insane just as the One Ring did. Despite all of that, she eventually managed to win. We all know she's going to win anyway, so let's just skip to when she wins.

"How?! How are you not dead yet?! Fine, since you won, I'll release your friend! Its not even worth my time!"

Back outside, the Louds are still trying to pry the crown off. This time, it slipped off easily.

"I'll just find some other idiot to possess anyway! Its not like you can destroy the crown anyway! Now get out!"

The demon forces Sigurrós out of the crown and back into the real world.

"Sigurrós, where were you?"

"Making a deal with a devil."

"What?! You should never do that!"

"No, its ok. I got it to release Luna."

The group looks at the Hellfire Crown. The eye looks cracked. Lisa comes outside.

"Ok, this artifact is from dimension NEU-DAY. Leni, if you would…

Leni generates a portal to that dimension. They send the crown through it. It ends up, by sheer coincidence, back at UNITE headquarters.

"Oh, hey. Here it is. It was behind this shelf all along."


Meanwhile…in dimension NEU-DAY…

"I'd like to address the nation today and say that ever since that day in Eastpoint, Maine, those lives lost in that shadow beast attack have not died in vain. Ever since the creation of UNITE, many of the anomalies in our world are contained in a place that will far away from human civilization. As some of these anomalies…"

The secretary general's speech trails off as a suave James Bond type character overlooks him on several monitors. This red-haired stud is Joshua Faithlight, a level 1 enforcer in UNITE. This elite soldier is a 22-year-old prodigy. Known for his pragmatism on the battlefield and genuine interest in the anomalous, he is essentially the Doctor Gears of this strange dimension, just without the congenital analgesia and lack of social affect. Yes, he is quite known within UNITE for being a goofball.

Ordinarily, he'd be helping contain anomalies for that group, but today. He answers to a higher calling. Getting called for security detail on protecting UN Secretary General Yeo is a high honor for him, so of course he had to accept this once in a lifetime opportunity! He's in an observation room, monitoring the UN building from all angles, so if anything is fishy, he can alert the actual security.

"Nicolia, the phoenix has risen from the ashes. I repeat, the phoenix has risen from the ashes." He says into a walkie talkie.

"So, about the plan…"

No response.

"I can't believe she would refuse to accept this job! If it wasn't for him, UNITE wouldn't have even existed in the first place!"

He still tries radioing her.

"Nicolia, are you there?"

"Operation Brood Parasitism…"

Still no response. Joshua scoffs at this and continues watching the secretary general give his speech.

He suddenly sees a large group of people entering through the UN's front door. They're dressed spiffily.

"Possible hostiles at the front entrance. Send backup."

He leaves to investigate this himself…meanwhile, it appears this group has an enforcer of their own.

The group of men make their way to the Secretary Council room where secretary president Yeo has just finished given a rousing speech and was just about to call his special guest when…

Complete pandemonium erupts as the group takes out several SAR 21's and begin killing the security guards at the UN.

"Secretary General Yeo, it's not safe here! We have to get you to a safe room!"

One of the guards manages to kill one of the twenty goons. But he takes advantage by "seizing", holding down the trigger and spraying bullets everywhere. Some of the UN members got hit by the stray bullets before he dies for real.

"Anda tidak akan melarikan diri, Mr. Yeo!"

He realizes these guys must be a part of the Singaporean mafia. Ever since he got elected, he recommended the government crack down on these gangs. This must be a revenge for crippling their enterprise.

"You won't get away with this!"

"Kami sudah mempunyai."

One of the mafia members suddenly speaks English.

"Consider this your impeachment. Surrender, and we won't blow your brains out."

"You think you can control me?!"

One of the goons smashes his SAR 21 into the back of the secretary general's head, knocking him out.

"Baiklah, kita mendapat apa yang kita datang untuk. memberitahu bahawa perang Dewi untuk wire memindahkan pembayaran kami."

The mafia goons take him back to their hideout in Singapore and rough him up a little for his interference in their affairs.

"Remember, he's supposed to be alive."

"Saya tahu, kita hanya akan menjadikan dia seorang pesakit tetap di Gleneagles. Sebaik-baiknya nazak."

Even though 12 of their members were killed during the breach, they got the secretary general, and 300,000 Singaporean dollars for the job were wire transferred to an offshore bank account in the Cayman Islands.


"Now for phase 2…"

Back at the UN Security Hall, everyone is still shaken up from the attack. But much like a phoenix rising from the ashes, a man tries to quell the raucous.

"Everyone, I managed to escape those armed goons thanks to some reinforcements entering through a back entrance."

"Secretary General Yeo? You survived?"

"Yes. Not even those mafia goons will stop us. Now, as I was just about to say…UNITE wouldn't be as effective without its highly trained agents, and there's one that I would like to congratulate…"

Meanwhile, Joshua has gotten a call that despite the attack, Secretary General Yeo has escaped and the thugs have fled the building with police in hot pursuit. He begins heading toward the observation room when he gets another call.

"This is Joshua Faithlight, who is this?"

"Kirby Yeo."

"Secretary General? Where are you?!"

"Those mafia goons have locked me up somewhere in Singapore!"

"But you're on stage right now?"

"That's a body double! Look, this is all a ploy by Director Ares to restructure UNITE. Apparently, she and a few agents aren't happy just containing the anomalies. They want to completely eradicate them from our planet!"

"What?!"

"She paid the Singaporean mafia to kidnap me and replace me with a body double! Right now, loyalists and revolutionaries are engaged in a civil war! Joshua, I'm entrusting you to preserve the fate of UNITE! Stop Director Ares' power grab!"

"But how do you know all of that?"

"The thugs said their plans in Malay, as well as a few UNIITE agents meeting up with them."

"Hey what are you doing?!"

"It's up to you now!"

The phone disconnects.

With their plan revealed, Joshua rushes to expose the body double, but only makes it around halfway before encountering a familiar face.

"Oh, you finally showed up!"

"Yeah, I heard about the attack and thought I should help out."

"Look, what I'm about to say is going to sound crazy, but Secretary General Yeo has been kidnapped and replaced with a body double! This was a ploy by Director Ares to restructure UNITE into some sort of anomalous genocide group!"

"That sounds insane!"

"I need your help in case she has anymore traps set for us."

"Sounds like something she'd do. Ok, you lead the way."

He feels like something's up…he turns around and sees his former friend taking out her Type 14 CIWS, just a few millimeters from his head. It appears to be electrically charged from all the UN's lights.

"What are you doing, Nicolia?!"

"Finishing the fight."

"Nice Halo reference, but seriously, what is wrong with you?!"

"For being the smart one in our duo, you can be really dense sometimes! Kirby Yeo might have recruited you to preserve UNITE, but I can't let that happen."

"Are you working for her?"

"Not by choice. I personally hate her guts, but her restructuring is for the betterment of humanity! No longer will the anomalous plague humanity! We can fight back! Join us, and we can make the world a better place!"

Joshua is infuriated at this notion.

"Even the harmless ones?"

"Can't take any chances, Faithlight. These are all preemptive strikes. Kill them before they have the chance to kill you. Humanity was unprepared for the shadow beast attack on Eastpoint. But now, once we master extradimensional travel, we can completely eradicate this invasive species and ensure another Eastpoint incident ever happens again!"

"KTE-0937-Velveteen."

"Now you're just making stuff up."

"Would you poke a bear with a stick?"

"If the bear will be killed by it, then yes."

Joshua shakes his head at his former partner.

"You of all people should understand that eradication is the only measure! Those shadow beasts should be eradicated, every last one of them!"

"Even that Neu girl?"

"Especially her! The only reason we're still working with her is because we don't have the technology to kill these things! Besides, she's like the lead shadow beast."

"There's only one way this ends…"

"I agree."

Nicolia charges her G-13 DEER while Joshua takes out his Fenris .50 auto-revolver.

That weapon is devastating at close range…but it does have a weakness.

Nicolia tries rushing at Joshua, who deftly gets out of her range. He quickly fires a shot at the battery pack charging it.

BOOM!

4 shots left. If I can trick him into wasting those bullets…

"Grr. Why can't you understand that these anomalies are a blight on humanity?!"

Joshua switches to his X4 Electro Baton.

Engaging Nicolia Kansa in close combat might be a suicide mission but maybe it will allow for a feint!

"You really must be suicidal! There's no more heroes to save you this time!"

In a scene reminiscent of a shonen anime, the blade and baton clash. Both of them continue to strike blows at one another, each one countered and parried by the other, sparks between the weapons begin to fly. Both of them reach for their spare weapons to break the stalemate. Nicolia was faster and launches an ice infused punch into his gut. Surprisingly, he doesn't instantly die from this, what with all of the icicles bursting inside him. Too bad Joshua doesn't have power armor like Nicolia does.

"An ice element?! Impossible…"

"Your psycho girlfriend modified this gauntlet. Now it has 18 different elements infused with it. That was cyan…want to go for black?"

"She's not my girlfriend, but I do think she is a yandere."

"You think?!"

I don't even need to fight him anymore…I win.

Joshua is shown heavily bleeding from that ice punch. Nicolia almost feels sorry for him.

"You should have joined us, Joshua. The new age would have been great."

She leaves to join the UN ceremony. With the last of his strength he manages to call someone.

"Hello? Wait this number…red-haired guy, is that you?"

"Yeah, listen…UNITE has changed. I recommend going into hiding."

"What's going on?"

"Our director…instituted a kill policy. Tried to stop them…"

"Kill policy? What do you mean?"

"UNITE has fallen…I'm sorry."

Joshua bleeds out before the call can be completed.

"Red haired guy…?"

The call disconnects from the other end.


Back at the UN hall.

"Now, gracing us with her presence is the director of UNITE, Ms. Ares."

A red-haired woman approaches the stage.

"Director, what are your plans for UNITE?"

"Well, UNITE has been doing quite well dealing with these anomalies. However, it is not enough. As some of the agents have suggested, we need to be even more proactive in dealing with these threats. As such, we've restructured UNITE into the Crimson Ocean. From now on, all anomalous threats are on a kill list. To protect humanity, we need to launch several preemptive strikes against them!"

The crowd cheers. As Director Ares steps down, Nicolia arrives.

"So, how's our number one enforcer for the Crimson Ocean doing?"

She looks kind of sad.

"Killed another dissident."

"Excellent. Soon, UNITE will change for the better!"

"Isn't it great? You'll finally be able to get your revenge! I know that the Eastpoint attack killed your fiancée. Well now, you can get the opportunity to genocide the whole species!"

Both of them head back to the new Crimson Ocean headquarters. They already redecorated the place. Nicolia gazes at the new logo. A blood red wave with a pretentious Latin motto under it.

"Nostrae historiae est cruentam dexteram, quid ad nos pauci magis liters?!"

Nicolia remembers when Joshua remarked that her life is similar to something he saw in a movie once. He said that the movie was pretty good…she wouldn't know since she never watched it.

"Just because you are a bad guy doesn't mean you are a bad guy, right?" She says to herself

The codex has been updated since the restructuring of UNITE. Nicolia takes a look at it.

PLAN FOR DESTRUCTION: Nuking England. If its near Stonehenge, we might destroy some vampire bones, too!

The rest of the codex entries are locked…I guess they haven't updated them all yet.

And that is the little snippet of this dimension. It doesn't seem like things are going well here…but this is another story. And now, we return back to dimension TLH-SCP-PTB-1415. What chaos will happen next?
