As Michael was looking through the various Dimension Keys that had been created so far, he took one out. "I don't think we've ever explored that dimension with this 'SCP Foundation'. Anyone care to give it another go?"

"Well, they did try to shoot us down. Don't you think we should bring a Titan this time?" Samus asked.

"That might be a good ide- Wait. Where's Jenny?" Michael wondered, seeing that their daughter was nowhere to be seen.

Jenny's voice was heard over the comms. "Don't worry about me. I'm just picking up my partner."

"She's getting TN. Jenny must have overheard your conversation." Mark-18 stated.

"I thought she came here with Samus."

"Jenny was patrolling the EDZ. I was in the Cosmodrome."

"Right. TN was located in the European Dead Zone, not the Russian Cosmodrome."

Eventually, Jenny arrived, followed by her Vanguard-class Titan, TN-9684. "[I will assist you.]"

"Let's do this." Michael took the Key and used it to open the portal.

They entered the other world, and a squad of soldiers rushed out, only to provoke a defensive reaction. Michael had deployed his A-Wall projector, TN-9684 readied her Vortex Shield, and Tanner-21 stood ready to form a Ward of Dawn.

The same man from before walked out, recognizing them. "You again? I see you've brought some heavy weaponry this time."

"The SCP Foundation does not exist in our dimension, but it does exist here." Spyglass stated.

"Hmm... The SCP Foundation was created to contain the SCPs and keep them from humanity, and if the SCP Foundation never existed in your dimension, then neither did the SCPs. Troops, stand down!" The squad put away their rifles, and the Fireteam stood down as well.

"The name's Michael. I'm the leader of this Fireteam."

"I am General Gibson. What brings you back here?"

"Unlike the other dimensions, we never explored this one." Michael replied.

"I see. Tell me more."

"Right. Hayden, go back and get some Dimension Keys."

"You got it." Hayden-10 ran back through the portal, then came back a few seconds later with three Keys, handing them to Michael.

"These are just three of the Dimension Keys we've already used." Michael took out the one with red rectangles on a black background. "This one opened up a timeless void." Next up was the Key with a strange watch on a green background. "This one took us to a place called Bellwood, where we met someone named Ben Tennyson, who wielded this alien watch called the Omnitrix." Lastly was the Key that held the symbol of the Storm Hawks. "This Dimension Key took us to a dimension where Earth seemed to have been replaced with a world of mountains called Atmos, and it was protected by this group calling themselves the Storm Hawks."

"Fascinating."

Hayden-10 took the Keys and went through the portal to put them back before returning to the Fireteam.

"Michael, you seem trustworthy. Perhaps we could give you a tour of what we keep contained here so you have an idea of what we're keeping humanity safe from." Gibson offered.

"And my Fireteam?"

"They can come too. But that... robot will not be able to fit through the door."

"[That's alright. I can see through my Pilot's helmet.]"

They entered the facility, with General Gibson showing them around. "This is where we keep SCP-173. Object class: euclid. A direct line of sight must be maintained with SCP-173 at all times."

"Looks like a pretty disturbing statue." Michael remarked, looking at the camera feed.

"If it is not observed, it will kill you by snapping at the base of the neck."

"What's this thing made of?" The ace Pilot asked.

"SCP-173 is made of concrete and rebar with krylon-brand spray paint."

"Concrete and rebar? Let me handle this."

"But-" Samus interrupted Gibson.

"Trust him."

"Very well." He flipped a switch, opening the large containment chamber that held the sculpture.

Michael jumped down and entered the chamber. He blinked, and the statue was right in front of him. The Shadow jumped down with him, standing in front of the statue. Michael looked away as the Shadow 'blinked'.

When Michael looked back, he noticed that the sculpture was now backed up into a corner, facing the Shadow. Michael walked up to the statue and reeled back his prosthetic arm, clenching the Spectre hand into a fist as Arc Light surged through it. With all his might, Michael punched straight through the sculpture's head, effectively killing the thing.

Fragments of concrete and rebar littered the ground around the statue, and when Michael and the Shadow looked away, then looked back at it, the destroyed sculpture didn't move.

"SCP-173, object class: neutralized! That is something I never thought I would be able to say. Thank you."

11:49 AM
03/25/3272

They were in the lower levels of the facility, with dead bodies on the ground. "What happened down here?" Michael asked.

Gibson talked over the radio. "This is the work of SCP-049. Object class: keter. Those are SCP-049-2 instances. Should they become hostile, terminate on sight."

Suddenly, a humanoid figure wearing a traditional 15-16th century Europe Plague Doctor garb walked out of the darkness. It was SCP-049. "Greetings."

"I assume you're the one called SCP-049?" Michael asked.

"They do indeed refer to me as such, but that is simple because they do not understand. The disease is here, and I can sense it. I sense the disease in you."

"Let's test that theory." Michael examined his suit's biological diagnostic scan, acquiring the results.

PILOT BIO-SCAN COMPLETE
NO DISEASES DETECTED
PILOT STATUS: HEALTHY

"No disease." Michael reported.

"Oh my. You are mistaken, good sir. You are indeed ill with the disease. I can sense it." As SCP-049 approached, the Shadow stood in the way.

"His suit diagnostic says otherwise."

Once the Shadow stepped in, SCP-049 seemed to react with fear. "STAY AWAY FROM ME!"

"It is time to cure the doctor of his own plague!" With a slash of a glowing scythe blade, the Shadow killed the SCP, causing it to seemingly dissolve into dust.

"It's... dead. SCP-049 is dead!" Gibson exclaimed.

"I definitely needed that. I feel stronger already. Who's next?"

"You wish to terminate more SCPs? Come back up here, and I shall lead you to another."

"This is SCP-096. Object class: euclid."

"Why aren't there any visual observation devices for this one?" Jenny wondered.

"If you see the face of SCP-096, be it directly, via a video recording, or even a photograph, it will hunt you down, tear you apart, and eat your remains, leaving no traces." Gibson explained. "There is a request for SCP-096's termination at the earliest opportunity on record. Perhaps you could see it done?"

Michael then volunteered himself and the Shadow. "Leave it to us."

When Michael and the Shadow entered the containment chamber, they saw a humanoid figure sitting in the middle of the room. The Pilot took out his Spitfire and put the barrel right at the back of the humanoid's head.

Before Michael could pull the trigger, SCP-096 turned around. He saw its face. It stood up, covered its face with its blood-stained and clawed hands, then started screaming, crying, and babbling incoherently, sounding just like a regular person, rising in pitch and volume until it was a deafening screech.

Music

The Shadow stepped in front of Michael as SCP-096 started running at him, somehow holding it back as it tried to get to Michael, ignoring the Taken King for unknown reasons, despite the fact that he had seen its face as well.

With all that strength surging within him, the Shadow managed to easily overpower SCP-096. "Not so fast. I have plans for you." Ascendant energy manifested, beginning to overtake SCP-096, corrupting it, twisting it, and stripping it of whatever will it had.

As the Shadow let out a horrifying laughter, Michael could see the blank white eyes of SCP-096... fill with a Taken black as its face went from an elongated mouth of an expression of rage to an expression best described as 'unspeakable horror'. It was no longer reaching for him. Now... it was trying to get away from the Shadow.

The rift vanished, ripping SCP-096 off the face of reality. The 'shy guy' was nowhere to be found.

They exited the now empty chamber to see General Gibson. "Anything else?" The Shadow asked.

"There are a few."

03/25/3272

In this room, there was a large cube floating with magnets, containing another SCP. "SCP-106. Object class: keter. Just don't let it touch you and you'll be fine."

The Shadow turned into a black particle trail that phased into the cube, then reformed to see an elderly humanoid covered in a black substance, and the figure appeared to be the source of it.

SCP-106 approached the Shadow and touched his arm. After a few moments, it cocked its head to the side in confusion. Once the Shadow started advancing, the SCP immediately started showing major signs of fear.

"If you were expecting something to happen, why don't I do it?" The blade of the Darkscythe glowed as the Shadow sliced through SCP-106, causing the humanoid to seemingly shrivel up, degrading out of existence.

Music

The Shadow phased out of the steel cube, then reformed in front of General Gibson, striking a soldier's salute. "SCP-106 has been KIA."

"Excellent. The rest of you can head to the cafeteria and wait. I have a few more SCPs to bring, uh..." Gibson didn't know what to address the Shadow as. "He technically has two names: the Shadow, and Death." Michael stated.

"Right. I have a few more SCPs to bring the Shadow to."

"This is like a buffet for my strength. The Grasp of Death kills an SCP, and an alarming amount of strength surges into me."

"You're gaining the strength of the SCPs as you're killing them?!"

"I always put my strength to good use. It's the right thing to do."

"You are an honorable entity, Shadow. Perhaps we can meet again."

"We haven't found a way to establish communication across dimensions, so I don't know when to open the portal for the Shadow to come by. Not only that, but he has a place in our dimension." Michael added.

"This is true."

"I understand. Now, this way, please."

With the Fireteam waiting in the cafeteria, Michael had gotten a few drinks from the odd vending machine in the back. "What do you think the Shadow will do once he's done with all those SCPs?" Michael asked.

His daughter answered. "I don't know. I hope he's still with us."

"This place is a bit strange, but then again, it's a different dimension." Mark-18 had a good point.

"{If he had a heart, it would be in the right place.}" Rocco stated.

"Are you saying the Shadow is heartless?" Jenny questioned.

"{He literally doesn't have a heart. In appearance, he's just a skeleton. There's a lot more to him than that though, and not even he knows it all.}"

It was then that General Gibson and the Shadow arrived. "That was fun." The Shadow looked like he had a good time.

"All taken care of."

"Nice. So what'd he kill?" Michael asked. "He has killed the following SCPs: 682, 035, 012, and 198."

"They were extremely dangerous, so I had to end their threats."

"From all that, he has become stronger. 'A growing darkness makes the light shine brighter', that's what he keeps saying." Gibson stated.

"Glad we could help." Michael saluted.

"I'm a bit parched. Could I have a refreshment?" The Shadow asked.

"Sure thing. What would you like?"

"Water's fine." Michael went to the machine in the back of the cafeteria, SCP-294, and typed in the request. A styrofoam cup was dispensed, then filled with clear water. Michael brought it to the Shadow, who downed the drink in one gulp. Despite his skeletal form, not a drop went on the floor when the Shadow drank it. "Well, we should get going. See you around, General."

"I look forward to it."

Now THAT was something.

A return to the SCP Foundation, and a few SCPs fell victim to the Shadow's Grasp of Death.

One day, we will see what has become of SCP-096.

See you next time, folks.
