The mole rats had not been out of their previous mission for long before the distress signal came in for them to be mobilized into the field once again. The mole rats were trained to combat underground areas along with unstable topologies in the area, wearing yellow hazmat suits with the SCP Foundation insignia along with being armed with several different firearms and explosives.
The captain asked, "What's the command?" The other team members fell silent as he turned up his radio.
"Get your team to their stations, you are being redirected to Central London, you will be briefed by Command on your way there," said a commanding voice over the radio.
"Let's move team, to your stations!!," ordered the captain as the mole rats armed themselves and put on their gear.
*
Indeed it seemed Ginny was correct when they approached Hagrid's hut and found it empty; they had managed to avoid other students so that nobody would catch wind of their escape attempt.
The thestrals were kept in a large paddock not far from Hagrid's hut; it was located on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and Harry breathed a sigh of relief when he found the paddock containing his thestral.
It seemed that everyone in Harry's friend group could see them, which would make it easier for them to ride the thestrals.
"Listen, it's too dangerous for you guys," said Harry as he mounted his thestral. "I can't put you all in danger by dragging you along with me to Voldemort to save Sirius."
"Harry, you know what I, as well as everyone else, am going to say so shut it," said Ginny fiercely as she mounted her thestral. "We are coming with you, whether you want us to or not."
Harry decided to relent his protests; he valued having loyal friends who were so willing to go on what could be a bit of a suicide mission if they were being completely honest.
Harry's thestral rose into the air, flapping its wings as it flew towards Harry's desired destination. The other thestrals that his friends were riding followed him as they made haste for the Ministry of Magic.
*
It's time.
That was the only other thought that was on SCP-1853's mind, other then destroying Voldemort and protecting Harry Potter. Voldemort had been breaching the containment of several dangerous anomalies for one sole purpose, to build up an army and to use it to kill Harry Potter once and for all, something he wouldn't allow.
He watched from his vantage point as a black van that he recognised as an SCP foundation tactical unarmoured vehicle left one of the main sites and made its way to what SCP-1853 guessed was Harry Potter's location.
Saddling up his gear, SCP-1853 made his way through one of the portals he had summoned, be fully intended to destroy those anomalies, if they weren't then Voldemort would keep finding ways to use them.
*
Only about a mile away as the crow flies from the entrance to the ministry of magic, was an SCP foundation tactical vehicle which had been disguised as a Royal mail delivery truck in order to keep the true operation underwraps, something the SCP foundation and its personnel were already well trained in doing.
"Team, mic check." Ordered a voice from the captains radio, which had come all the way from site command.
"Check." Said Z-9-Captain.
"Here." Said Z-9-1
"Check." Said Z-9-2
"All good here." Said Z-9-3
"Affirmative." Said Z-9-4
"Alright team," began the captain of the mole rats. "Our mission is to assist SCP-1853 after receiving a broadcast from the anomaly that multiple euclid and keter calls SCPs are at its location, mainly the ones that had been broken out by SCP-1853-1, if you don't know, SCP-1853-1 is the designation for the being that causes SCP-1853 to break out of it's containment."
"Jesus," Said one of the mole rats designated as Z-9-1. "What SCPs are we dealing with command."
"SCPs 049, 173, 096 and multiple 939 instances are unaccounted for, we have reassigned one of the magical maniacs to your task force who will assist in getting you inside, they will rendezvous with you at the insertion point."
"Affirmative, what about the topography of the area." Asked the captain of the mole rats.
"It is unstable captain, the area you will be dealing with the escaped anomalies is constantly changing upon entry through a revolving room, combined with certain traps and wards in place from the magical maniacs intel, the department of mysteries has undergone many breach fail safes, you will need SCP-1853 to assist you with getting out once you have either recontained or neutralised the anomalies."
"Affirmative site command." Said the captain as the foundation agent driver informed them in their disguised delivery van that they were around five minutes from the insertion point.
As soon as they arrived they lept out of the truck and immediately headed for the location given. The truck drove off immediately and they made their way towards the rendezvous point.
They met up with one of the magical maniacs member's.
"Alright, you will need ti be careful down there, I will need to ward any of your electrical equipment from magical interference." He said as he flicked his wand in certain motions and muttered some Latin under his breath.
They went down the telephone box two at a time.
"Good luck, you'll need it." The wizard said as he headed back up, his job was to keep look out incase any other magical people arrived and to prevent them from entering.
(15 minutes before hand)
As soon as the telephone box touched the ground, Harry and his friends raced out, heading straight for lifts down towards level nine.
Harry saw that the security guards booth was empty, it should've occurred to him as an ominous sign, but they carried on towards the lifts.
The six of them packed into one of the lifts and Harry pressed the button for level nine, the lift trundled backwards and then shot downwards.
It was only about half a minute before the lift opened to reveal the all too familiar marble walls and ceiling of dark green, which led to the entrance to the department of mysteries and courtrooms nine and ten.
"This way." Said Harry pointing his wand in the direction of the door that had been in his visions and where Mr. Weasley was attacked.
The rest of his group of Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Neville and Luna all followed him.
Harry found the door and noticed it was wide open, normally it was shut and guarded, another ominous sign.
"Harry I don't think we should go in there." Said Hermione worriedly.
"Sirius is in there Hermione," Said Harry "I can't leave him there." He headed through the doorway and the five of them followed through.
The door slammed shut behind them as Luna entered, making her jump.
"No going back now." Said Ron as they stared at the other doors lining the circular room.
The walls begin to move around, the doors shifted into new positions.
"I think you have to pick one." Said Ginny as she turned to face Harry. He looked around, seeing if any door told him something, he sighed and picked one.
Hermione marked it with a fiery X and Harry opened the door, they entered a large room containing glass jars with a greenish liquid.
Harry took a closer look and saw pink blobs, these were brains.
"Fuck." Cursed Ron as he saw the tentacles on some of them as they pressed and smacked against the glass.
They noticed in the corner of the room was a large, grey metal box with chains crossed over in an X pattern, it looked completely out of place.
Neville placed his ear next to it and he heard raspy breathing, like somebody who was tired and was exhaling slowly.
"I don't think we should try and open this," Said Harry, confused at the random metal crate. "Let's keep moving."
They headed through the door, which led them through to a large spacious room, it contained four doors equally distanced apart in a similar arrayed room to the previous one, it had a large row of seats and a stone arch that had a very faint, transparent mist that looked like glass inside.
"Let's try another door." Said Harry, picking the nearest door to him.
They found themselves in a dark area, with shelves lining either side of them, it was unknown how far the room went on for.
"He's here somewhere." Said Harry, he tried using the lumos spell which worked but the light hardly stretched out any further than maybe fifteen feet infront of him almost like the light levels were being controlled.
He moved forwards, scanning the shelves until he found the number.
"This way." Said Harry as the group kept following him.
Ginny pointed at something, another grey metal box with chains, when she listened closer, she heard crying and weeping.
"Let's leave it." Said Ron, putting a hand on his younger sister's shoulder.
Ginny turned away and the six of them carried on moving forwards.
Harry was counting the numbers on the shelves to himself until he found himself in an intersection, with four pathways.
"He should be right here." Said Harry, confused as to how Sirius wasn't here.
He looked around and when he couldn't see anything, he cursed himself. Hermione had been right, it was a trick.
"Harry, this one's got your name on it." Said Ron, pointing at one of the glass orbs that contained a swirling mist.
"Harry i don't think you should take it." Said Hermione cautiously.
"It's got my name on though." Said Harry, not looking at Hermione, his eyes drawn to thr glass orb as he reached up to grab the prophecy. It felt warm, as if it had been left out in the sun for a few hours despite being in a cold room.
Harry read the words inscribed on a small plate on the base of the glass sphere.
S.P.T to A.P.W.B.D
Dark Lord and (?) Harry Potter
Before Harry could make any comment on it, he heard a few gasps behind him, he whipped around to see many dark masses approach them, all with indistinguishable masks that were all to familiar to him
Death eaters.
And there were lots of them, Harry counted at least fifteen nearest them and maybe thirty, forty perhaps surrounding the outer perimeter. They were surrounded.
"Hand it over potter." A death eater ordered. Harry recognised the voice of Lucius Malfoy.
The death eaters moved in closer and Harry saw Bellatrix lestrange stalk towards them from behind Lucius malfoy, her wand at her side as she leered at the group.
The six of them seemed to move closer to each other almost instinctively, Harry heard something, a quiet voice as if someone had Whispered in his ear, though part of him thought the voice may have even been inside his head.
"Stall them for as long as possible, help is on the way."
Harry didn't have anytime to decide whether he should listen to the order from the random disembodied voice or to ignore it completely, but it seemed no one else had heard it.
"Why does Voldemort want the prophecy so much," Harry challenged the Malfoy senior. "If he wanted it so badly he could've gotten off his lazy backside and got it himself."
"You dare speak that way about our Lord," hissed Bellatrix. "YOU FILTHY HALF BLOOD!"
Lucius raised a hand to stop Bellatrix from trying to attack Harry she hissed threateningly at Harry. "Let's just all calm down."
Bellatrix seemed to move back a little and Lucius lowered his hand. "To answer your question Potter, only you and the dark lord are able to touch the prophecy from the shelf, rather than come here and risk revealing his return, he was able to lure you here and get both the prophecy, and now you."
"I'm not giving you this prophecy." Said Harry defiantly.
"We'll torture them then," hissed bellatrix and her eyes locked with Ginny's. "Will start with his girlfriend."
Harry stepped infront of Ginny. "Touch her and I'll smash it to pieces, wouldn't want Tommy to get mad."
Bellatrix was seething with anger and was showing alot of restraint to not kill Harry right there, her right arm was twitching madly and her hand was shaking.
"Potter, if you do not hand over the prophecy and yourself, those grey containers, will be opened." He said with a manic grin and a chuckle. "And unleash the horror within them."
"What is in them?" Asked Harry, he took the opportunity to glance his eyes over at his friends, Neville and Luna were to his right and Ron and Hermione were to his left, whilst Ginny was behind him as he had moved infront of her instinctively at the threat Bellatrix had made.
"Oh trust me Mr. Potter," said Lucius with light, icy chuckle. "The things within them, would make your skin crawl."
Harry was about to respond when a blue light appeared behind him, it began to unravel into a large black hole with blue flames encircling it, like a portal to somewhere unkown almost.
It made a whirling sound as it formed, the six stepped away slightly from it, the death eaters were very confused by this as well and trained their wands on it.
Then they saw a foot, then a leg, then arms and a torso form, until a tall, large figure dressed in black amour, only his arms going form the wrist to his elbow were visible, his face was covered by a black mask covered with a set of eyepieces, the middle one seemed to stick out the most.
He had what looked like a metal kind of skeleton, strapped to his back, it moved as if it were a skeleton but on the outside, it whirled slightly as the small metallic poles were contracted and retracted.
It held in one hand, as if carrying a suitcase in his right hand, a muggle shotgun. It stepped forward fully through the portal, which then dissapeared quickly behind him.
Lucius was confused, and he felt a sense of rage coming from the figure in front of him, he was massive as well, his exposed forearms were almost a subtle flex of his sheer muscle power, the veins very visible, he was very tall as well, about seven foot perhaps.
"Who are you?" Said Lucius as the death eaters levelled their wands at the imposing figure.
"I wouldn't advise releasing the anomalies that you stole from THE SCP foundation, you have no idea what you are in possession of." His voice calm but threatening and with a backbone of steel, sounding a little muffled as well due to its helmet but its statement was clear as day. "I seek out your master, the one you call the dark lord, and when I do find him, I will crush his skull with my bare hands and burn his body to nothing but ash."
He raised his shotgun, Harry could sense the tension building and nodded discreetly to his friends, they would make a run for it, shit was about to go down.
The figure cocked back the shotgun,the sound echoed round them as the shell was loaded and ready to fire at the first move from the death eaters.
Harry nodded to his friends and mouthed "be ready."
He did not know who this person was, but if this person was threatening to kill Voldemort, it had to be an ally.
Bellatrix could not hold her restraint any longer and immediately fired off a torture curse at the large figure, it sailed passed the figures head who had instinctively side stepped it before raising its shotgun.
He immediately fired his shotgun, firing quickly straight at the death eaters infromt of him as Harry and his friends made a run for it. The death eaters fell nearest Bellatrix and Lucius, but the two in question had raised magical shields, deflecting the shrapnel, which seemed to dematerialize once it bounced off of the magical shields.
They dissaparated in black fog and Lucius, as he shadow traveled, tapped his wand to a port key chain under his cloak, it activated with a green hiss and sent bolts of beige light towards each of the containers.
SCP-1853 turned his head as he heard the sounds of chains being snapped and broken, the sounds of roars, raspy breathing and other sounds filled his ears, he spoke into his wrist HUD.
"This is SCP-1853 to site command, multiple keter and euclid class scps are at my location, requesting immediate back up." He ordered before he ran for it, he needed to get Harry potter and his group out of here.
"We need to get out of here now." Said Harry as the sound of explosions could be heard, the ground wobbled and shook beneath their feet, the shelves containing the prophecies were falling over and glass shards were being scattered everywhere.
The six of them ran straight for the door infront of them, a death eater appeared above them and made to throw an explosive hex when he was pulled out of the air by the person that had appeared out of the portal, he had streaked through the air, it looked like his suit thrusters had allowed him to fly.
The death eater screamed as a sharp, shiny black wristblade hacked at his neck, cutting straight through his bone and leaving him a mess before his corpse dropped to the ground.
Harry and the others lept through the open door and Hermione sent a spell at the door to shut it.
"Come on." Said Harry as he pulled himself off the ground and the six of them legged it.
The entire department of mysteries was flooded with chaos and infighting between SCPs, death eaters and Harry and his friends. SCP-1853 stalked the halls for death eaters and other anomalies alike, sounds of screaming and explosion could be heard.
"Hello, is anyone there?" Said a voice from the dark.
SCP-1853 flicked on his night vision and saw an instance of SCP-939 hiding in the darkness, waiting to ambush its pray.
SCP-1853 simply kept moving forward, when the 939 instance lept at him, he caught the beast by its neck, he glared at the anomaly before beheading it swiftly with his wrist blade.
More screaming could be heard and SCP-1853 rushed forward, encountering more scps, 049 was busy reanimating dead corpses of death eaters, he unfolded his shoulder mounted cannon and aimed through his eyepiece, the whirring singalong hummed quietly as it locked onto SCP-049 and fired a small but highly concentrated blast of energy, it was his anti proton collider which wasn't as powerful as anti matter, but was close enough for him.
SCP-049 abandoned his patient and lept aside as the blast obliterated the poor soul that was riddled with the pestilence.
SCP-1853 had dissapeared and appeared in another room and he heard a voice.
"SEAL OFF THE EXITS!!" Shouted Lucius Malfoy.
Harry and his friends had been split up and it was just him and Ginny, they were busy taking out Rabastan Lestrange when they heard the loud voice of Lucius malfoy informing them to seal off the exits.
Ginny pulled Harry into cover as a barrage of spells were aimed at them from some oncoming death eaters, they were cornered.
As the death eaters advanced, they heard rapid gunshots, the death eaters groaned or screamed in pain, but the sound was drowned out as they fell to the floor dead.
Harry and Ginny saw two humanoid figures in yellow suits, with weird looking masks on, one of them spoke.
"We are here to get you the fuck out of here." Said one of them as he offered a hand to Harry and Ginny whilst the other spoke into his radio.
"This is Mike, site-command we've established contact with civilians and are extracting them." Said the other person.
"Roger, be advised that there are large amounts of anomalous activity, make sure that your scramble gear is on and keep an ear out, bring any civilians back to the insertion point." Said a voice from Mike's radio.
"Let's move." Said Mike as he levelled his rifle forwards and moved in that direction.
"Who are you guys?" Asked Harry as he and Ginny followed the two armed men.
"That's classified." Said the one called Mike.
That cut all conversation, which there wasn't much time for, they had to get out of here.
They ran into a few other death eaters, who began to shout and alert the other death eaters to there location.
Harry fired an impedimenta jinx at one of them and the one called Mike fired his weapon at the death eater, killing him.
Ginny had thrown a blasting hex at the death eater, knocking the figure back into a wall, a loud crack came from him as he slumped to the floor, the death eater was motionless.
"They sealed the exits, how did you get in?" Ginny asked As they took cover behind a wall.
"Entered through a small air vent located here, however some of the anomalies may have caused it to be blocked, never mind that the exits were sealed by somebody."
Said the other figure.
"Let's keep moving." Said Mike he led them through the department of mysteries to rendezvous with the rest of the mole rats mobile task force unit.
Ron, Hermione, Neville and Luna were in a four versus four against some other death eaters, one of them Ron recognised was Antonin Dolohov who had killed both of his uncles many years back, during the first wizarding war.
The duel was tiring but they were able to knock out one of the death eaters. When another fell to a cutting curse in the face, Dolohov and the other unmasked death eater dissaparated.
They heard the sounds of growling as they saw what looked like previously dead corpses running at them, their faces a mess as they grunted, some of them looked like there body had been messed around with, arms and legs in different places and one of them had their heads facing the wrong way.
"RUN!" Ron shouted, grabbing Hermione's hand as Neville and Luna ran with them.
Whatever they were, the reanimated corpses were clearly hellbent on trying to catch them and doing god knows what as the decomposing bodies charged at them with speed and ferocity.
They all ducked when a figure in a full yellow hazmat suit appeared infront of them, a huge muggle rifle raised with its drum box attached to the bottom as it fired its weapon at the corpses, he didn't stop unloading the bullets of his heavy machine gun. The reanimated corpses fell to the floor as the bullets struck them in various parts of their already decompsoing bodies, no longer functioning.
"Over here!" The figure shouted as Ron, Hermione, Neville and Luna all raised their wands at the figure. He held up a hand in reassurance, as if to say he wasn't a threat to them.
"Who are you?!" Neville demanded.
Three other figures in yellow suits appeared behind the stranger and called out to them.
"It's alright, we are here to get you lot out." Said a female voice, the markings on her suit made it look like she was the leader of the group.
Ron, Hermione, Neville and Luna lowered there wands as the figures spoke. "We need to get moving, they've sealed off the exits so we need to find another way out, come with us."
As the seven of them moved forward, they could hear the muffled and faint sounds of powerful bangs, loud shrieks and cries of pain and terror, whatever the death eaters had released into the department of mysteries, it was cuasing major havoc.
"Where are Harry and Ginny?" Asked Neville worriedly as he held his wand out.
One of the figures in yellow hazmat suits spoke into their radios. "Mike, have you established contact with the other civilians, we need to evacuate ASAP."
"Affirmative, we have the other two civilians and are attempting to make our way to the death chamber." Said a muffled voice over the radio.
"Roger, Jane out." Said the female as she addressed Neville's question. "Your friends are with Mike and Justin, they'll rendezvous with us at the death chamber so we can figure out a way to evacuate the area without being ripped to shreds."
Neville nodded as the group of seven continued to hurry down several corridors, the sounds of violence, explosions and just sheer power echoed through the walls of the department of mysteries.
They had begun to hear more screams and sound of bloodshed and fighting, as the four moved forwards, Mike was ahead of Harry and Ginny, whilst Justin covered their exposed rear with his rifle raised and poised, ready to open fire on anything hostile that jumped out at them. It sounded like SCP-1853 was very busy with thr escaped anomalies and any other threats that were within the area.
As Mike moved forwards, Justin turned when he thought he saw something. He looked to his left before something with a gaping jaw filled his vision and he knew nothing more as its locked around his neck and twisted it, snapping it quietly and pulling the mole rat into the darkness of the hallways of the department of mysteries.
"Shit, that sounds like SCP-096," Said Mike as they approached the death chamber. "Justin, switch to SCRAMBLE gear."
Mike got no response from Justin, who should have been behind the three of them. "Justin, you hear me?" He asked As he turned around, rifle raised.
"Mike," said a voice that sounded like Justin from a distance. "I'm over here."
Mike did not trust it, this was definitely an instance of SCP-939, they were going to be ambushed.
He looked at Harry and Ginny, and signalled them what looked like to leg it. Harry yanked Ginny by the hand and they legged just as a cry of horror and despair of "NOOOO!!!" Was heard.
They turned to see Mike opening fire on the dog like beast, it's red skin looked like it had been boiled as it sped towards them, its jaw opening as it rushed toward Mike.
"Jane," said Mike into his comlink as he fired at the SCP-939 instance, the bullets oenetrating its flesh but not doing enough to kill it. "This is Mike, Justin is down and we are being-"
Mike didn't have time to relay the alert as he was it with the sharp claws of one's of the 939s paws. He screamed in pain as it sunk its sharp, curved hooks for teeth into his head, killing him.
Harry and Ginny could only look in shock as Harry was about to raise his wand at the beast.
It turned to them.
Harry and Ginny turned and legged it as the beast ran at full pace towards them, not wanting it's prey to escape, and it was catching up to them, random human voices were coming from it.
"Hello who's there?"
"Oh it's just you."
Ginny couldn't help but feel creeped out by how eerily they sounded like human voices as they burst through another door into a hallway. The voices must have been those that it had previously killed as it seemed to switch between the bodies of Justin, Mike and other voices that they didn't recognise.
Harry turned to see how far it had caught up and lost his footing slightly, causing him to stumble and allow the 939 instance to gain on him.
Harry fired off a stunner which struck the anomaly in the head, but the 939 instance shrugged it off as little more than an annoyance before bolting towards Harry at a fast pace.
Before it could launch itself at Harry, the wall to the left of the 939 instance exploded as SCP-096 ran through, and charged at it, screaming and ripping it to shreds for seeing its face.
The SCP-939 instance could only let out fake human shrieks of pain and agony as there was a loud tearing sound. SCP-096 had ripped off one of its hind legs as it continued to scream and cry in anger St the 939 instance, its jaw unhinged in a way that shouldn't even be possible as it continued to absolutely maul the SCP-939 instance to death.
Harry and Ginny looked in horror at the figure which had just ripped whatever it was that chased them until there was almost nothing left, it was a tall, gangly and pale figure, its arms were unnaturally long. It began to calm down, it's hands covering its face as it wept.
However it released its hands from its face and turned around and saw two people, a boy and a girl who had looked right at him in horror, him.
His face.
My face!!!
Harry and Ginny had just stared right SCP-096, it's pale white eyes showed nothing but emptiness before the creatures face began to contort from passive to extremely hostile, sending shivers down their spines.
SCP-096 began to wail more, its hands reaching back up to claw at its face as it began screaming and babbling incoherently, getting progressively louder and louder.
It was almost deafening as it shrieked and cried, getting louder and louder as Ginny struggled to think of what to do.
"Run!" Harry shouted as he ran for it, Ginny turned to run as well, following close behind him.
SCP-096 continued to wail as Harry and Ginny legged it, hoping maybe they would outrun it before it could attack the. The figure had stopped screaming and had removed its hands from its face, before turning and charging towards them and they could hear it crying and the sound of something else chasing them.
It was gaining on them fast, but Harry could see the open door to the death chamber, and lights coming from inside it, they could make it.
Ron, Hermione, Neville and Luna were all camped down in the death chamber, with more of the figures in yellow suits waiting by the door that led to lift, which would take them to safety if it wasn't for the sealing of the exits.
They could hear running and screaming, the figure in yellow suits recognised the sound and ordered everyone to crouch low and look at the ground.
The four saw Harry and Ginny running for it and the white, pale felt of something large running at them. Seeing this Hermione looked up and fired a powerful exploding curse at whatever was chasing them, as she did though, she saw the figures face, its mouth agape and its jaw unhinged as it screamed.
SCP-096 was sent reeling through the air, its arms and legs flailing as it crashed through a door and landed, rubble descended over it trapping the instance.
"We need to get out of here." Said Harry.
A portal appeared and SCP-1853 stepped out of it.
"We haven't much time," he said looking over to the rubble where it began to shuffle as SCP-096 had begun making work on escaoing the rubble"Go through this portal, it will take you to the Atrium, there are hostiles there but it is safer than the anomalies here." He ordered.
The mole rats went through first, so they could take out the threats, Harry and his friends followed shortly after.
SCP-096 had managed to break through the rubble and was about to pounce on SCP-1853 when SCP-1853 whirled around and quickly fired a shell from his shotgun, knocking SCP-096 back before he stepped through the portal as well.
SCP-096 screamed and frantically headed for the quickest route up, they had all looked at his face, and he could feel the burning of their glares from seeing its face.
It crashed through the door leading to the elevator and was knocked back at first by the wards, it repeatedly tried to get up and run through the invisible barrier. 096 let out a deafening screech and began to scrap and punch at the barrier with immense strength and ferocity.
"You are to keep watch and prevent anything or anyone from getting in," Orderd Lucius to the fifteen other death eaters. "The dark lord has requested my presence immediately.
"Or anything from getting out of course." Said one of the death eaters with a manic grin.
"Nothing should get out of there, once its died down, move in and secure Potters dead corpse if you must." Said Lucius as he dissaparated with a loud pop.
The death eaters all positioned themselves around the Atrium, both their eyes and their wands were trained on the lifts leading to the department of mysteries.
A large blue portal appeared, the light temporarily blinded the death eaters, casuing shouts of alarm among them.
The mole rats took cover and fired their weapons at the death eaters, dispatching them with ease, some of them had already fled by apparating out of the ministry and more help had begun to arrive.
The Order had at first been alert at the muggle presence but SCP-1853 held up a hand and informed them that if the mole rats and hadn't been their, the kids would have died by now.
"We need to get you out of here, before Voldemort arrives." Said Sirius to the ground and they were about to apparate when they heard the sound of screaming, and it was approaching them.
SCP-1853 levelled his shotgun from where the sound was coming from as the mole rats got into firing positions, 096 was not done yet and as every person their apart from the order members and seen its face, it would always know where they were
"Get out of here." Said Dan when he saw the mole rats weren't budging.
"We don't know if you'll be able to kill 096, orders are from after command to stand our ground." Said the leader of the mole rats.
"It's not worth it," Said SCP-1853 as SCP-096 could be heard closing in on there position. "Just get the fuck out of here before I make you."
The captain of the mole rats paused before signaling to his team to move out, they headed towards the backend of the Atrium, a portal was created by SCP-1853, which would send them back to their insertion point so they could be removed from the area, there job was done, know it was his turn.
SCP-1853 kept its shotgun levelled at head height, SCP-096s screams were clearly audible as the sound of marble and brick walls being smashed and broken through were heard.
The wall where SCP-1853 was aiming at was broken through by SCP-096, as it rampaged forward towards SCP-1853. SCP-1853 immediately opened fire, the shotgun sending shell fragments straight at 096s head, they connected and SCP-096 was stunted as SCP-1853 kept cocking the shotgun with such speed and ferocity, it was as if it were a fully automatic weapon, not a pump action.
The speed and frequency of the shells were enough to send 096 backwards, it felt to the floor as it lost its balance from the impact force of the projectiles.
SCP-1853 stalked towards SCP-096, aiming its shotgun downwards as it reached closer to SCP-096, he aimed his shotgun at 096s head but was sent flying as 096 swatted him away. SCP-1853 crashed into the wall, leaving a large gaping hole as the force of the impact, combined with the indestructabillity of the exo skeleton, broke through easily.
SCP-096 screamed and charged towards the hole in the wall, but was sent flying backwards as a white light was shot from the darkness at the shy guy, it exploded right where its chest was, causing the flesh there to be completely obliterated except the bone.
SCP-1853 was caught off as 096 managed to balance itself from the attack, its chest was exposed but where the lungs should were a few strands of burnt flesh that were slowly dripping from 096s ribcage, which strangely was still intact.
It charged at SCP-1853, who leaned forward and charged at SCP-096, the shotgun in his hand dematerialized as SCP-1853 ducked to avoid a deadly swipe from SCP-096, and slam its fist into 096s gut, sending it back. However, SCP-096 seemed to brush off the attack as an annoyance and charged at SCP-1853 once again, however it chose to leap at him.
It swung 1853 into a wall headfirst, and repeatedly smashed his body around the floor, walls and high ceiling.
1853, materialised a powerful, orange and red glowing sword, which was about three quarters of its height, he brought it down and swung at SCP-096, it incinerated the flesh around 096s neck, all but the spinal column was completely destroyed, the fight was on and proving a difficult one.
The Order members had arrived at Hogwarts and rushed them inside with the aide of McGonagall up to the hospital wing, all of them were shaken, Hermione had a broken rib and Neville had sprained his ankle during a fight with some death eaters, however it seemed they hadn't been harmed as much mainly because the death eaters bailed as soon as those monsters were released.
They were taken through the silent halls of Hogwarts, everyone was asleep and McGonagall brought them to the hospital wing where Dumbledore was waiting and Madam pomfrey immediately rushed over as they all got into seperate hospital beds accept Harry and Ginny, who were both white as a sheet, both holding each other and not letting go.
"What happened down there?" Asked Sirius gently as he grasped Harry cheeks, they were cold.
Harry shook his head as Ginny burrowed into his side, he didn't say anything but Sirius could tell that the both had probably just escaped death by the skin of their teeth.
"Sirius," Said Dumbledore. "We should let them rest and let Madam pomfrey take care of them first before we begin asking questions."
Sirius nodded before kissing Harry's forehead and getting up off the bed.
The Order members all left for Dumbledores office, they needed to find out what happened and discuss plans for the next school year regarding Harry Potter.
SCP-1853 grabbed 096 by the neck and threw him into the air, before jump kicking him with both feet in abdomen, sending the shy guy flying away into another wall, SCP-1853 landed on both of its feet and steadied itself for another assault from SCP-096
SCP-1853 could feel immense rage from itself, this damn anomaly just wasn't dying, this fight was only going to end if one of them perished. His shoulder mounted cannons raised themselves and fired a mix of anti-proton blasts and ice bombs using nitrogen from the air, which was then filtered to obtain the nitrogen and store it in extremely cold temperatures in his exo suit.
SCP-096 was blasted away again and was partly frozen, however the ice was broken through very quickly by the shy guy as it prepared to pounce.
SCP-1853 leveled it's left arm and a large roaring flame was sent shooting straight at SCP-096 as the wrist mounted flamethrower spat huge amounts of fire towards SCP-096.
SCP-096 was fully engulfed in the flames as it began to charge at 1853, its very flesh melting away. SCP-1853 was ready for this, he reared his left arm back, the flamethrower stopped shooting the flames that were engulfing SCP-096, as the anomaly charged at him, he shot his arm forward straight for his right eye, the wristblade retracted as he did so, striking through SCP-096s eye, but not piercing through the ocular socket.
SCP-1853 grabbed SCP-096 by the head and threw it upwards, as the shy guy shot up into the air, SCP-1853 boost jumped up even faster and spun in a full three hundred and sixty degrees, sticking out its right foot about halfway through and slamming the heel of his boot onto SCP-096s face, sending it crashing back down through the floor.
SCP-096 screamed as the force of the impact this time sent him through nearly every single floor until it landed in the darkness of what was the ruined hall of prophecy within the department of mysteries.
SCP-1853 landed just infront of the large hole, it lwad through many of the floors before leading to darkness.
SCP-1853 rolled his arms back, before leaping down the hole, 096 was not getting out of this easily, he landed with his fist smashing into the floor, sending a loud banging sound throughout the department of mysteries.
Why wouldn't it die were the thoughts rushing through 096s mind, the face of whatever that was attacking him was burning into his mind, its eyes alight with a fiery blaze as it kept taunting him, whilst looking at his face.
But it had been struggling to kill this human, and now instead of chasing him, he was chasing him. It brought its hands up to his face, clawing and scratching it ferociously before turning to see SCP-1853 staring it down, it's shotgun loaded.
SCP-096 screamed and ran towards SCP-1853, ready to rip him apart into shreds.
SCP-1853 simply blinked and a large snapping sound was heard, a large concrete statue appeared, its arms around 096s neck, the head was completely twisted around to see SCP-173, staring right at him.
SCP-096 flopped onto its knees, then it's face hit the floor.
SCP-1853 kept eye contact with SCP-173, not blinking and giving it room to attack him, waiting for 096 to get back up and for SCP-173 to snap its neck again.
SC0-096s face began to twitch, then its fingers and toes, or what was left of them from the previous fight, it raised its twisted head and got up onto both feet, its neck shifted and then snapped back into place.
SCP-1853 blinked again and SCP-173 snapped 096s neck for the second time, and he kept blinking each time 096 got up, the shy guy became frustrated and very quickly dashed away, trying to get away from the statue.
"Not so fast 096." Said SCP-1853 before darting after 096, ignoring 173 who also chased SCP-1853 now that nothing was looking at it, but it was nowhere near quick enough to outspeed SCP-1853.
SCP-1853 lept over 096 as it was about to reach the door that led to the death chamber and slammed down onto its head, smacking it into the floor.
SCP-096 screamed and grabbed a hold of SCP-1853 and smashed him through the door and grabbed his head and smashed its head into the wall repeatedly.
SCP-1853 pulled out his shotgun and opened fire on SCP-096, causing it to lose its grip as the pounding from the shell fragments sent it backwards, away from SCP-1853.
SCP-1853 upped the ferocity of his attacks, pumping the shotgun back furiously and rapidly as he emptied who knows how many shells into 096, sending it recoiling backwards towards the archway.
SCP-096 ducked under one of the shots and ripped the weapon out of SCP-1853 grip but was met with a powerful fist to part of his exposed skull, it didn't break but the force was powerful enough to send 096 backwards onto the floor.
SCP-1853 yanked 096 by its ear and took one look at the archway of death and threw 096 with all its might right into the opening.
096 dissapeared through the transparent mist, it's screamed dying away and eventually fell silent.
SCP-1853 breathed a sigh of relief as it turned away from the archway, it ducked suddenly as it heard a loud ripping sound, followed by 096s cries and screams.
096 was trying to pull itself out but drapes of the transparent mist formed arms which grabbed at 096s face and body, slowly pulling him back into the realm of death.
SCP-1853 pumped back his shotgun and lifted it up using only his right hand, giving 096 one last glare of malice before pulling the trigger.
The shot rang out and seemed to crack the area of his skull where his forehead would have been, the force sent him back far enough so that the hands and arms could pull 096 back into the realm of death.
SCP-1853 turned away, its shotgun held over his shoulder as he casually strolled away from the archway, SCP-173 had stopped infront of him, now under its gaze.
SCP-1853 held its hand out, forming a portal infront of 173, before blinking.
The statue rushed forward, trying to snap the neck of the man who dare take its gaze away from it, only to find itself back in its containment chamber.
SCP-1853 then closed the portal and made his way out of the department of mysteries, and to find Harry Potter and tell him everything.
But he said one thing into his exo suit, his radio link to the 05 council, to tell them one thing.
"SCP-096 has been neutralised." Said SCP-1853 before opening up a portal to Hogwarts, where Harry Potter was.
A/N: A nice epic fight between my SCP and another SCP titan, what did you guys make of it.
Also an extra long chapter asthis one is probably one of the key turning points where the crossover fully begins.
