Anomalies Beyond the Falls

by LordStar8045

They thought the first summer was their journey to the world of weirdness, they were wrong. It was only the beginning as they journey to a much grander and even more anomalous world with horrors and wonders beyond their imagination. (Set Post-Weirdmaggedon during the Third Summer)

34. The Flesh That Hungers

She shouldn't have left Ford, why did she do that? Her thirst for vengeance and hate overpowered her strategic reasoning, that never happened before. She wasn't ignorant to her inner darkness, ever since the fateful night the Yule Man visited– ripped apart bodies of her parents are clearer and more detail than ever– that darkness became possible, she cultivated that darkness and had it unleashed on those who deserved it– the inhuman screams of agony as she tortured the Yule Man are more vivid– yet, she never let that controlled her.

However...she felt like her aggression had been exacerbated 10 times, she felt more impulsive, as if her emotions had been amplified and all she wanted was to sink her claws into that gorgon and her boyfriend's flesh, sink her teeth in and fees- Her thoughts stopped immediately, did she really was thinking about committing cannibalism!? She stopped and held her head trying to grasp her mind. The reasonable mind that told her that she shouldn't have left Ford was being drowned by a tidal wave of hunger for vindication told her otherwise. She hit her head and snarled with gritted teeth feeling like her inner demons were shouting at her to let them out.

'Kill'

'Bloodshed'

'Mayhem'

'Tear'

'Rip'

'Eat'

'FEAST'

Those thoughts like ravenous caged animals screeched loud and clawed at their prison waiting to be freed and unleashed as she cried out. Was she losing herself to her hate and bloodlust? Was she doing this out of love for her husband or hate for them? Was she going mad?

"CRAAAAAAAAAAAGGS!" her cry at half of its end sounded inhumane promising mauling, black claws that were not there before in her hands grew, and she and her legs were suddenly enhanced painfully like their muscles adjusted and bone augmented to make her run faster, the pain of the transfiguration only served to fuel her as she then like an animal bolted and follow the scent of her preys.

She sprinted using her extra limbs to sprint faster and used them to climb a staircase up without taking the stairs, the sharp m extra limbs penetrated the ceremite making holes and cracks with no care. She reached up and there it was.

Her prey was that of Craggs and Nathan, the latter who was carrying a laptop looking back. Diana wasted no time immediately bolting with her extra limbs toward them with claws and

spiked, grasping forelegs ready to rip and tear; however, something clashed with her and threw her away from her intended prey. She didn't fall and quickly set on to see who dared, there he saw a man in armor but he smelled wrong, he reeked of crude surgeries and his body motions were too dense like a robot. There were others walking uniformly and their weapons pointed at her. That damned crone had her own Mike units!

Craggs with a smile that Diana wanted to tear off from her wrinkled face said "Well well, seems one of my experiments has gone array, execute the organic wastes." She ordered the Mikes, some pointing their weapons at Craggs and Nathan, the latter startled while the former frowned in annoyance. "Not us idiots, her!" she clarified and pointed at the 'Organic' that was Diana.

That was the downside of using mindless automatons, they had no true thoughts. The Mikes shot and she leapt fast away from the coming bullets, the Mikes thanks to their cybernetic enhancement combined with the strain Diana's body was with her changes managed to hit three shots at her as she grunted feeling one bullet passing through her shoulder, the other hitting one of her metallic limbs simply deflected away and on very dangerously close to her head made a scar across her cheek.

Diana using her spiky mantis-like limbs beheaded one enemy and while the other's stomach was cut off, despite the latter having a severe wound on his stomach to the point of threatening to spill his guts he with no twitches of pain with one hand held his injury while the other hand holding the side arm shot at her.

She yelled in pain when one of the shots hit her other shoulder yet kept rushing and she threw herself at him, twisting his arm and with an enhanced strength launching him toward the other Mike so hard that both hit the wall and caused cracks on it. The last remaining one loaded his rifle constantly shooting at her in a stream of fire, she in response rushed toward him, a few shots hit her shoulders and one even passed the palm of her right hand making her grunt until she reached and tried to impale the mindless cyborg with her spikes, except he reacted quick grabbed her extra limbs, then swing her around and tossed her to his back which to her survive it was a big artificially made pit. Before she fell she managed with one of her extra limbs spiked at his arm and dragged him in her falling as well.

They fell and hit the ground and to Diana's surprise, it wasn't a hard landing on a hard land as it was soft, not soft as like a pillow but soft enough to not have a major break as she felt from her back. There was an odd wetness on her back and the place she was in stunk and when she looked at her hand she froze, the back of her hand was bloodied. When she got up just enough to look around she gasped frantically and jumped up looking back and forth around her environment seeing the most grisly sight she had ever seen in her life.

They…there were corpses, mountains of corpses and there were mutated crabs with sharp surgical knives instead of claws that were clanking around, chopping the dead flesh and feasting on them giving her the urge to puke. It was akin to something you would see from

art made during the Black Plague depicting dead bodies around and monsters feasting on humanity's death and suffering.

This pit was where OBSKURAKORPS and their fascistic allies got rid of dead test subjects that they gathered here and left to the crabs to feed and clean, some were poor or addicts they took advantaged judging by the scent of illicit substances thought of it weren't for her enhanced senses she would have been unable to pick it with the smell of rot and death around her overwhelming her and that was not just them: outcasts, outliers and some even were rivals or enemies noting one of the corpses wore a GOC logo and another was a UIU agent. Others were burnt, disfigured and mutated by whatever foul experimentations were done to them.

The most disturbing part was that not all of the test subjects were adult-sized, she looked away and dared not to think that the smaller ones were already feeling a knot in her gut. Flashes of dead victims, of families whose Christmas was turned into a horror show by that accursed Yule Man as she was searching hunting that thrice-damned abomination down flashed in her mind making her breathing ragged and reel back with a nauseating feeling that threatened to make her puke.

One of the smaller ones made her pause, she…looked like her daughter Mabel, like when she saw her give a haunting scream as whatever foul arcane powers of the Children of the Scarlet King Cult coursed through her only to then fall and lay motionless like a corpse her face with her eyes peacefully closed in the release of her agonizing death once again staring at her, condemning her for not being able to save her.

Craggs was getting away, if she does she will continue her horrid experiments and those 610 infected and that pit of corpses will be the only beginning. At that moment whatever shred of sanity took off and the world around her vibrated violently, whether she was hallucinating that particular dead body to be like Mabel due to her condition and her horror or not she was too lost to care as the bullets in her body were spat out violently and the bullet wounds healed by themselves.

She opened her eyes just when the now standing-up soldier tried to plunge his knife at her and she in response with a newfound strength dodged twice his attacks, slashed at his throat and then impaled her with her left extra limb. One of the mutated crabs tried to try its luck by feeding off her which she reacted with her other extra limb piercing right between its eyes as it screeched, with a growl threw the augmented soldier and the crab at the three coming crabs who were pushed away and then focused on feasting on the fresh dead bodies instead of Diana even though one of them was a fallen kind of theirs, cannibalism was not out of their menu.

Screech

Diana screeched animalistically as two mandibles came from her mouth, then felt an immense pain as two more extra limbs from her back spurted identical to the other two ripping from her back through her torso and clothes. She then used her old and new extra limbs to climb through the valley of corpses and kill one unfortunate surgeon crab with her spiky limbs with no care then jumped as high as she could and punctured the wall with her

spikes followed by climbing up, she had no intention of letting that wretched excuse of a human being to repeat this atrocity all over again whatever it takes, her inhumanity in the end triumph her humanity.

Screech!

The tidal wave of flesh screeched at the flames, and through flames were effective "My fuel reserve is depleted," Munru stated as his weapon no longer spat fire so he had to switch back to projectile mood shooting at the abominations "Mine almost as well," Nanku stated, when a flesh tendril got close she switched to projectile mood and blew that thing into mere gore.

Irantus, seeing that they were being overwhelmed, barked a command "Then we should go back to- " before he could finish something peculiar. The flesh monsters began retreating, at first he thought they were simply regrouping but he shook that idea off knowing that was not the case.

What was the case was that the flesh monsters began merging, their masses combining as they grew bigger until it became an amorphous mass with tendrils, many eyes and a big gaping maw with so many teeth.

HOWL

It howled and then began slithering toward the cyborg MTF ready to devour them. "Tactical Retreat?" Munru sardonically asked as his leader.

"Yes," Irantus said and so the MTF began running away from the combined mass of hungry flesh as it followed them with its big maw of teeth with a few of its tendrils trying to grab or crush them.

Bright laughed maniacally as he rode the Egg Walker randomly punching every button he was seeing like a speed lunatic on a piano shooting barrages of bullets and missiles around while walking on two legs rampaging across.

"THIS IS THE BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!" he declared with maniacal glee. The Eggwalker walked around on its bipedal mechanical legs as it rampaged across the battlefield.

"I admit nerd, this is fun!" Even Stanley had to admit this was fun, nothing was more fun than rampaging on Nazi bastards with a walker armed to the teeth. "Of course I know what fun is, I'M THE KING OF FUN CHAOS!" one of the buttons he pushed suddenly activated a TV-like monitor.

"Oooh look! It has a galactic net and an interdimensional cable!" the Immortal Doctor in awe like a child seeing TV for the first time said.

Another random button he pushed suddenly a Belgian casserole was thrown at his pants. "Yah! Hot! Hot!" Stan exclaimed as he pushed the very cooked food away. "Oops, wrong button!" Bright giggled at that.

Stanley during his attempt mistakenly fell backwards near the bag Bright had with himself and since it was half open Stan saw the head of a person toppling away from the bag and reaching his hand.

"Kill me."

"YEH!" Stan exclaimed at the bodiless head in his hand and tossed him back to the bag and then washed his hands away on his cloth like he just touched something nasty.

Dug dug dug

Some of the soldiers were now targeting the Egg Walker shooting at it while some stuck themselves on it trying to punch through and they were successfully making dents inside the walker while the walker moved and pointed its guns at other troopers.

Dug dug dug

"Uhm, Jacky?" Stanley called Jack while looking at the walls around being dented by the stuck-on robots trying to get in.

"One moment Stannis!" Bright recalled one of the buttons shooting a surge of electricity around the outside of the mech "Now which one- which one- was the button- AHA!" He found it and pushed it.

Electrical cackling

A surge of electricity came all around the walker's shell causing the screaming soldiers to fry and drop with some still shaking erratically.

"Ha! See Stanny Boy? Nothing to worry- "

BOOM!

Something exploded near the walker nearly making it fall over if it were not for the Immortal Doctor quickly controlling its motor motions.

"WOAH! THAT WAS CLOSE!" Bright exclaimed, he then looked and saw a tank currently piloted with smoking coming from its projectile gun that was now pointing at him.

"That's a very big gun," Stan commented,

BOOM!

This time the shot from the tank hit by passing by its right leg destroying it into shreds causing the walker to drop, unable to support its mass on one leg as the duo yelped. The duo began getting up with Stan kicking the cockpit door open and Bright just got up with his head hurt.

As if the situation couldn't get bad enough to Stan's alarm as it turns out the Walker had over two thousand liters of alcohol that were now spilling all over and making a puddle, he went to get Jack knowing the tank was now reloading, though not before getting a slip from the pouring drink and grabbed the bag containing the bodiless head.

"Oh, Crow is gonna kill me or extract me into a jar," Bright mumbled a bit dizzy from the explosion's sound and hit his head on something.

"MOVE!" Stan grabbed him by his collar and they ran and jumped from the cockpit as far as they could and when they hit the ground they rolled further away.

BOOM!

The tank hit the fallen walker and combined with the dripping flammable liquid it exploded high with the shockwave sending Stan and Bright further away, had they not got out sooner they would have been cooked by the explosion.

They groaned on the ground, disoriented by the experience, they tried getting up but then they saw the tank pointed at them ready to shoot again, not before reloading. Stanley and Bright quickly ran dreading the anticipation of the next shot, yet it did not come for a certain anahuman just showed up and held the tank with both of his hands with an inhuman strength he then swung it around and threw it as a group of unlucky soldiers who exclaimed in their native tongue and ran to not get crushed by the falling tank, that anahuman was Sachs who moved toward the enemy combatants who kept shooting at him, but his invulnerability was bolting away the bullets effortless without making a dent except ruining his clothing a bit with holes and then he pushed one soldier away throwing him like a bowling ball at the other soldiers and despite a literally thrown grenade then blow up at his face he was unshaken. One soldier died by a shot from Adams that was trying to get the drop on Stan and Bright, she held a machine gun and a SWAT shield to use as protection protecting herself from the shootings directed at him, unfortunately, one of the soldiers had high caliber bullets from a sniper rifle with one shot managing to pass the shield and causing her grunt as the bullet while didn't hit her did leave an injury by sliding across her left side of her hip, she saw the sniper reloading thought the hole in her shield and in reaction she swept from the incoming shot and quickly shot the sniper.

Unluckily for Adams, a trooper was behind her was gonna shoot her dead from her back, instead a modified bolter bullet hit that guy on the chest sending it flying away and dead coming from Stan's bolter revolver.

Stanley and Jack quickly joined up with her. "Where were you?"Ley asked.

She, while holding a hand on her injury, grunted "Finding out why I never want to be a parent and seeing telekinetic sharks bursting out of aristocrats."

"Man eating telekinetic sharks? Can't believe this is happening again!" Jack pouted, causing Adams and Stan to give him side looks.

Clef and Stanford soon joined the regrouping with Ford rushing back holding his blaster while Clef on his way killed a stormtrooper with a blank shot from his shotgun to the head. "Wait, where's Jacob?" the Scientist Pines asked the group.

"I thought the wizard boy was with you?" Clef questioned Ford "Don't look at me, I had too much fun crucifying the KKK, he's your nephew, not mine." he shrugged,

Adams said, "Saw the nerd running to the stairs like a man possessed, moving fast in the dark while lights went on and off like a shadow demon."

"That's because he is! He's being mind controlled." Ford informed the agent.

"In that case, hopefully, the Samara would be able to pacify him without any complications with their Counter-Thaumaturgical enhancements."

CRACK

A wall cracked open and from it, Munru was thrown like a rag doll hitting the ground with only one arm and half of his body was gone only his upper half was left cleanly chewed making the group look dumbfounded at that.

HOWL

From the cracks came the big amalgamation of instances of SCP-610 merged into a grotesque monstrosity now attracted to the amount of 'Food sources' that it sensed here while the remaining Samsara was shooting at the amorphous abortion of nature.

"Why do I even bother…" She moaned that she just jinxed it with a hand on her face, others shared her exasperation as well.

As Madison and Nathan ran, fasting their pacing as they heard the roar of a beast mod Diana with the cacophony of shootings of the Mikes and flesh torn apart they looked through the eyes of the Mikes from Nathan's laptop seeing the carnage.

One Mike had half of his head from top chopped from Diana's mandibles, two were impaled and then squashed together into red pasta and another the last thing he was the sheer animalistic wrath of Diana before shot down.

"She is BLENDERING through my creations like a German Bloody Mary!? HOW!? How's this possible!? She should have turned into a mindless flesh zombie, not my greatest creation!" Madison Craggs flabbergasted groused in shock, outrage and also scientific curiosity on how it is possible. She wanted nothing more than vivisecting Diana to see the how and why of her condition, but with how she was blending through her Mikes and the Nazis not gonna be a help to them any longer burning that bridge she to her vexation could not risk that.

"You're the wizard in biology. You tell me!" Nathan Snyder, also sharing her befuddlement rhetorically asked his wife while he with her now faster their pace.

"Just focus on bringing the thaumaturge here before she blenders through us as well!" She snapped.

"CRAAAAAAAGGS!" a very familiar hateful voiced with an almost monstrous sound howled her name in bale, they briefly turned back and saw Diana with a baleful feral look at them then rushing at them with her extra limbs using them as legs while the Mikes between began shooting her which made her dodge, duck and impale the Mikes in a berserker's rage.

"Anytime honey!" she hissed tartily at Nathan as they now ran even faster.

One of the Mikes armed with a grenade launcher at Diana who used her two extra limbs to shield herself which though worked bolted her away near a dead Mike. There she noticed something strange as she stared at the motionless rifle on the ground that used to belong to the dead Mike, it was like she could understand the intricate mechanics of the weapon feeling things she had no words to express with. She touched the rifle with the hand with tendrils as the tendrils then touched it and connected.

It had taken all her frustration, hatred, misery, doubt and blackened determination as the weapon then melted into her tendril hand as they merged and represented into a shape that she was to the word.

The shape of an even bigger gun.

She jumped back to her foot, narrowly dodging another shot from one of the Mikes and with her new weapon, she shot with a weapon that had even more bullets to spare, some coming from her body mass and with fires even faster and more destructive as she turned two Mikes into a bloody splat.

Her rage detonated in speed at the Mikes for daring to be an obstacle in her vengeance as she bolted back and they died trying to save their master. She has become a living weapon, this time literally, a divine tool of vengeance.

She reached the roof and jumped up high using her extra legs to bolt up with two fronts up ready to grab, she midair saw her prey rushing toward a chopper with its rotor blades moving and floating near the ground, she had no intention of letting them get away so her lower left extra spiky limb impaled the last remaining Mike and tossed him to toward the helicopter resulting in the Mikes to be torn apart by the rotor blades thus making it non-functional for flight leading to the vehicle to then spin around as its pilot failed in steering the falling

chopper hence the Helicopter fell away from the roof of the base and upon impacting the ground down exploded.

Diana with her extra limbs on the roof looked at the now corned Madison and Nathan with a feral growl as her mandibles moved and hissed animalistically, there was nowhere for them to hide.

With no warning, the lights were turned on and off repeatedly from the entrance revealing a shadowing figure that upon ending the constant on and offs of the lights revealed a new enemy.

Jacob with eyes blazing with lightning floated his staff as if he were a god of thunder made manifest to bring divine punishment. The two mindless beasts jumped and attacked each other.

Jacob with eyes blazing with lightning floated his staff as if he were a god of thunder made manifest to bring divine punishment. The two mindless beasts jumped and attacked each other.

One would think having a monster out of John Carpenter's nightmare fuel would unite everyone for a common cause, except it did not but exacerbate the chaotic landscape. On one hand the remaining Samsara had to deal with the hungry mass of flesh avenging their temporarily fallen comrade while on the other hand, they also had the Stormtroopers to deal with as well, fortunately for them being cyborgs they were good at multitasking. This a conundrum the Nazis and Fascists also share as they at the same time were targeting the Foundations and the rampaging runaway experiment with various degrees of success as the monstrous flesh managed to grab a bunch of the troopers with its tendrils and then devoured them in its big maw of teeth as its food screamed before being chewed by the razor-sharp teeth and then swallowed.

Sachs winced at such a graphic scene "Nazi or not, I do not wish such a fate on anyone." he mumbled to himself.

The Foundation group as they regrouped behind a half-completed tank stared at the escalated situation.

"Uh…need me to fill me in pops?" Adams sensed she was missing something considering others were familiar with the hungry abomination asked the Stans.

Stan grunted slightly "Some dome-headed screw-ups messed with biohazards, you?"

"Fought a robot Nazi, saved by a Frankenstein Monster and saw animals bursting from Aristocrats."

After a moment of pause, Ley held a finger like he was gonna say something before giving up in resignation "...somehow that's not even the weirdest thing I ever heard." even Ford nodded in agreement with him.

Bright snorted at that retort, "Just another typical weekend in the service of the Foundation."

Clef deadpane replied, "Stil doesn't beat that time one Site grew chicken legs and everyone inside went Lord Of Flies in mere hours."

Elias and the Fascist Baldy were not having a good time with the coming of Samsara who easily used the troopers like target practices, an anahuman with super strength and invulnerability who shrugged off any attack and punched soldiers like flies and the ungodly marriage of meat and unending appetite eating anything alive near it. So they resorted to drastic measures.

"START THE W UNITS!" Elias barked commands to his underlings.

"But SIR! Their programming is not completed yet!" one of the soldiers tried to object to his superior.

"TUN ES! (DO IT!)" Elias roared at him to do it so they did.

The 'W Units' showed up, revealing to be the 'Nazi Robots' that Adams mentioned to the Stans.

"I take it those are the Robot Nazis?" Ford pointed at the coming robots.

"Yeah, bucketheads managed to give even Sachs a hard time," Adams confirmed his guess. The Robots immediately began attacking the flesh monster, Samsara, the group and Sachs. Nanku and Irantus shot one in a barrage of fire and despite the damages, the robots didn't seem to suffer skeleton integrity as they continued to move.

"Watch it! They have an indestructible endoskeleton!" Adams shouted to warn.

A robot came near to Sachs, recalling his first encounter the anahuman was quick to dodge the coming spilling chemicals that came at him, next he with his super strength tried to punch it only for it to slightly with robotic precision steel clear by just moving its head a bit and then grabbed the coming fist, spin him up and smack him to the ground so hard that the floor cracked. Subsequently, the robot tried to hit his head with a stump of its leg which Sachs yelped and ducked and the other coming stumping attempts so he jumped back up and managed to take a hit at the robot's chest which although did penetrate its chest it was stopped upon contacting its indestructible endoskeleton, it did not help as two other robots came thus all three came down on the superhuman punching and kicking him while he struggled to reply the attacks.

Luckily for the anahuman, Onaku seeing his situation threw a Pulse Grenade which fried the robots' circuitry giving Sachs the breathing room to get up. His immediate reaction was to then toss one of the deactivated

The regrouped group who were by this point shooting from their place at the robots and soldiers aiding their comrades with Clef who was now switching his signature shotgun with an automated rifle he got from a perished stormtrooper upon seeing how EMP-based heaving had an effect on the robots groused.

"Damn, I thought I should have brought an EMP bomb with me.'

Stanford double-takes at Clef as he shoots with his blaster "Bomb? Not a grenade? You have an EMP bomb in your arsenal??"

"And you had an interdimensional portal in your basement and a useless death ray, so sue me, Poindexter." Clef tartily reminded him of his arsenal, Ford had no retort for that.

Bright the only one who wasn't shooting as he didn't have a gun noted "The robots are mostly focusing on the Mr Fleshy here," He glanced from his position as indeed the robots saw the abomination of flesh more than a threat than Samsara and Sachs as the monstrous meat roared at the concentrated shots at it and slamming robots that dared to get too close with its tendrils.

"INCOMING!" Adams vocalized a warning and then a robot dropped at the middle of the group with force.

Stumped!

So forcefully landed that the floor cracked and the shockwave pushed the group away, it then stood up from its knee and was gonna shoot its enemies down Stanley jumped with a war cry at its back bumping it down and Clef with a marksman-worthy shot destroyed the mounted projectile weapons on both of its arms. The robot reacted by grabbing Stan and throwing him at Clef, bumping him, Adams and Stanford aimed their weapons at it and shot at it.

The blasts and bullets penetrate its shell and yet did not affect the endoskeleton inside the Nazi Robot in reaction jerked and shot chemicals at them both of whom were quick to split up from the way, next Ford activated his electro-gloves and launched at him; however, it simply took a step away and gave a punch that would have ripped through his chest if it were not for Chompy who jumped at him, at his head in a failed attempt to thrasher its head and then jumped momentarily distract it just enough for Bright to jumped at him with a sparking electric ripped open wire from a damaged electronic equipment from one of the containers right at its neck causing the robot to convulsed and bolt with a screeching mechanical sound and that was enough for Ford to jump back and touched its electro gloves as well at it causing it to convulse harder as it then finally overloaded as smokes came with smell of fried circuits and vanquished fell on the ground.

It for a moment bolted one last cry of activation before Clef carried a spiked metal scrap and impaled its head for good measure.

Adam inhaled in relief "Just one of these screwheads gave us a hard time, we can't deal with a whole group of them by sitting ducks here."

Clef pointed to somewhere else "Over there, the guards are dead." He pointed at a room with a gate door with dead guards.

Adams recognizes them as being Herr Chiurug's handy work with empty injectors still connected to their body "That's Fritz's work alright."

"Who?" Both Stans asked at the same time.

"I'll explain later, we should go there."

"Wait, what about Samara and Sachs?" Ford pondered about them as they were not with them and too busy fighting the enemies.

The ex-GOC didn't see concern as he scoffed. "It's Samsara, they die, they would just grow back in a vat; besides, Sachs is invulnerable, nothing short of a nuclear explosion could injure him."

"Clef is right, our supply is limited, and we need cover." Adams agreed with him. Ford conceded to the points "Fair I suppose, my blaster is beginning to lose its charge." He gestured to them to follow him again and they did so.

---

Diana and Jacob were fighting, trading lightning bolts, spikes and bullets with each other. The raging beast against the mindless thaumaturge fought with a staggering velocity that would put the Mikes to shame. Neither side was willing to give in with Diana dodging Jacob's lightning attacks and vice versa for Jacob on the shootings by Diana, even when they managed to shoot each other or land a hit the injuries were non-lethal and simply shrugged it off, did not help in either of their advantages as Jacob was a cyborg who managed to survive being cut in half from the horizon at the hips and Diana now a biomechanical who can regenerate faster than a normal human though there were limitations showed with Diana still having burnt marks and Jacob with a couple of slashes.

They were at a standstill neither willing to be vanquished, only the tables turned when additional Mike units came and shot at Diana who had to duck and even then a couple of shots hit her extra limbs thanks to the cybernetically enhanced precision of the Mikes. She was already drained and tired and was beginning to be overwhelmed by having to deal with both Jacob and the Mikes.

Nathan rubbed his face in frustration over the helicopter no longer being an available option as he looked down where it fell "Well here goes our ticket out of here, now what?"

Madison replied rather tardily "Oh shush you, I already had sent the Mikes to kill the guards and pilots of Baldy's jet, we can go there."

He with a snap turned back and glanced at her incredulously "Wait wait, personal jet? Why the hell did we not go there first, you old hag?!" he asked in outrage.

"Because dear husband," the said 'Old Hag' snarked rather sarcastically "With the communications down no thanks to your pollution, we have no way of knowing if the Mikes did clean the jet for us you useless-brain hacking-mongrel!"

Diana finally was overwhelmed as Jacob baited her into moving near the Mikes when she was darting away from his lightning resulting in the Mikes to then jumped at her and putting her down to the ground, she managed to gash a few of them dead but eventually, the Mikes overwhelmed her and held her spiky extra limbs down as well despite her struggle and one of them stumped at the hand that had the gun attached to it with force that smashed and broke it making her screech in pain.

Her pain was only the beginning since then Jacob gave the final blow as he turned his staff into a power sword and cut off her extra limbs, she screeched louder in pain as the disembodied limbs fell and from the cut came a gush of red blood making her lose her energy for struggle.

"Okay, good, now she's down we should kill it!"

Jacob did as he was commanded by Nathan from his computer and was gonna end her with his power sword.

"STOP!" Craggs told them before Jacob had the chance to swing his sword and in response, Nathan ordered him to stop.

"Why? Why do you have an idea for her? Want me to crack her as a drone like the Wizard to deal with our ex-partners?" the Neurocracker quizzed.

Madison on the other hand had other ideas as she looked at Diana with an uncharacteristic glee fullness that nearly startled Nathan as it was unusual for her to be giddy "Perish the thought!" She then took a syringe and slowly stepped toward Diana "You're an incredibly unique complex piece of art! I wouldn't dare risk killing you!"

When she got closer she injected the syringe into her neck causing Diana to thrash as she collected a sample of her blood before being put down further by the Mikes, Craggs then looked at her syringe now filled with blood looking at it like someone admiring a piece of art. "But I will learn the secrets in your cells and see what caused you to become like this," she then gave a ghastly grin that sent a chill down the Neurocracker's spine. "Piece by piece of every single cell of yours if I have to, no more cooked-up experiments, no more mindless Mikes. I will herland the next age in mankind's evolution! Not the 'Perfect Blonde Hair' the Nazis are so fixated on, true transhumanism! Humanity redefined! And it'll be all thanks to you!" She looked at her intent in bringing her in and as promised scoured every cell in her body to find the secret to her condition.

The vile couple did not look at Jacob as while distracted, Jacob's body shocked erratically like he was having a convulsion standing still like something inside him was fighting back, he looked down and saw Diana's glasses that were dropped during her and his fight, her glasses had a crack at the left google and the right one was broken. He came down and grabbed the glass and began stepping toward Diana.

"What is he doing?" Craggs wondered noticing Jacob coming near Diana.

"I didn't order him to…" Nathan puzzled and looked back at his computer to see what was going on while Jacob reached closer to Diana.

The Neurocracker became alarmed seeing the signs of resistance and tried to regain control.

Craggs unamused glared at Nathan "Nathan, if this some sort of prank- "

"I'm not! I don't know how but he's resisting me!" he sputtered and flabbergasted as he furiously pushed buttons.

"Stop him!" Cragga commanded her Mikes and a select group came in, held Jacob and stopped him, yet despite that Jacob struggled and shook from there but he extended one hand that held the glasses and despite one Mike trying to stop him he managed in his objection.

That being putting the glasses on Diana. For a brief moment in his eyes, there was warmth instead of cold sober until the warmth was lost and he ceased struggling.

The moment that happened, memories rushed in Diana's head; of triumph, fall, joy and pain. When she met him for the first time sneaking into the Foundation as she chased him after. Their first kiss after the passion of a fight for their lives.

Jacob comforted her when she had PTSD from her encounter with the Yule Man and she in return did as well when he was devastated, defecting from the Serpent's Hand.

When they were having a marriage ceremony things nearly went crazy and out of control thanks to having the bright idea of having Foundation's loons at the same place. When she gave birth to Dipper and Mabel, when she found out Dipper nearly suffocated during the birth she held her vulnerable babies tightly.

And that time when she and Jacob had a rather…heated argument in Piedmont before sending the kids to Gravity Falls, not one they were particularly proud of. They had arguments before but nothing as heated as that with the shouting, screaming and saying things that they did not mean.

To both her and Jacob's eternal shame Dipper was there eavesdropping despite their attempt to conceal, a boy as young as him was not meant to hear such things coming between his parents. Originally, they planned to leave their kids in Stan's care only for a month and sent them away later, guess what caused them to leave them in such a rush and for a whole summer.

Ever since they quit and took amnestics so that their kids could have a normal life, she felt like a fog was clouding her, like her life wasn't real. Oh sure, she won't deny that spending a decade not haunted by the past and things she saw during her time in Foundation chasing monsters that lurk in the dark wasn't enticing and peaceful to her, ignorance is a blessing after all. And yet…even with no recollection there was a sense of wrongness, she felt like she wasn't living in the real world, her husband felt that too but it was to a lesser degree than hers and that took a degree of a toll on their relationship.

It was a gradual and slow decline, years and years without them noticing it as like a slow burn poison insidiously eating them from the inside and affecting their relationship at such an incredibly slow pace that no one took note.

The arguments became more and more common and though they kept it civil and secular in that fateful heated moment when they were at their worst Mason caught them, of all moments of their lows it had to be that.

They never had such a deep level of shame in their lives, for it was so much that after sending their kids to Stan they even considered a temporary break for the sake of Mason and Mabel, as much as they loved each other and didn't want to separate they also considered couple therapy at best and a divorce at the worst for the sake of their kids.

But then…Agent Troy kidnapped them and gave their memories back, it was like a fog was pushed over.

It wasn't fun for either of them to remember all the horrors they faced in the Anomalous World, yet there was also wonder, joy, awe and remembering the reasons and motivations the reasons why they were like that filling the unexplainable blanks and the fabricated backstories for them no longer haunting them like an old stitch on their wound, it was if like a part of them that had been lost from being amnesticized came back.

During that fight in the Shack, she and Jacob felt like their love had been reinvigorated like fireworks in ways no 'normal' date or couple counseling ever could. The illumination has sucked the poison out.

However, they were too murderously furious at the Elder Pines Twins to realize that until after confronting them so it took a bit to register.

As much as she enjoyed the blissful ignorance, she doesn't think she would ever want to give back to that fake life, to pretend to masquerade, especially knowing what that nearly cost her and her core family.

And is not just Diana and her husband but also her children, she was horrified by the things her children had been through no doubt of that(she and Jacob gave such profanities at the Stans that most of the recording interview had to be censured) and yet at the same time she couldn't be even more proud of Mason and Mabel learning the things they accomplished and seeing that despite all the downs they have been through they had many ups, she never saw them so happy and content.

Screw Normalcy.

And now…she has turned into a monster destined to be studied and vivisection like a new species of a frog by a madwoman and her husband is a hollowed-out controlled husk just

when things were getting better and she never got to tell her children that she is proud of them.

No….

No.

No!

She will not give up! she will survive with her sanity intact not give in and be caged like a beast, she will save her husband and tell him how much she loves him, she will find and save her children even if she has to fight eldritch monstrosities and ancient horrors and then give them an earful for constantly putting themselves in danger and then hug them and tell them how proud she is; also, throttling the Stans for daring to suggest taking Mabel and Dipper away after she and Jacob are gone.

Over her dead body!

Diana's humanity came back with a vengeance triumphing over her inhumanity signified by her mandibles reverting, her damaged hand regenerating to a normal human hand and the wounds on his back healing no more extra limb spikes coming and from then, she came back not as a beast of rage but as a person, a wife, an agent and a mother and she would roar made from human vocal cords with renown vigor pushed the Mikes that held her and bolted with all her remaining strength into a punch.

Nathan was caught off guard and startled before he could yelp anything his face was met with the powerful punch of an angry wife and mother with such fury that blood spat from his mouth and was sent flying over the cliff as he screamed with his computer plummeting down until the scream stopped the splat sound of reaching the bottom. With the Neurocracker presumed dead and the computer destroyed, the hold on Jacob was no more as he then fell like a released doll on the ground groaning with the mother of all headaches.

Meanwhile, Craggs barked orders to the Mikes who before coming at her she then grabbed the madwoman and held her hostage with both hands holding her.

"STAY BACK! OR I WILL SNAP THIS WITCH'S HEAD!" Diana cried out her threat, Craggs with a gesture of his hand commanded the Mikes to put down their weapons seeing no choice. "TELL THEM TO DEACTIVATE THEMSELVES."

"Now now, there's no need to be uncivil- "

"I SAID, DO IT!" Diana roared at Cragg's ear, making her flinch with her old age feeling like she was getting deaf from the volume. The murderous intent that she gave from her tone was telling enough that she wasn't joking.

Cragg did as Diana said "Deactivation: code 451-F."

Upon uttering those words the Mikes dropped dead now she was at Diana's full mercy, well not entirely as she had an ace on his sleeve.

In her pocket she held another syringe that could kill an elephant just in case, she in a haste grabbed it, opened its needle as she grabbed it and tried plunging it into Diana's arm with a smirk, not holding his hand was a mistake.

Unfortunately for the mad scientist, Diana expected her to have a contingency so she slapped her needle away, kicked her in the knees with a knee making her gasp and then dropped her to the ground with force.

When Craggs hit the ground, a flash drive containing her research and the sample she received from Diana among other virals spun on the ground.

Diana with heavy steps came near her Craggs, on her way she broke the sample of her blood with her boot and Craggs noticed the vengeful shadow casting down on her seeing Diana's seething with murderous fury she cowered slightly and tried to negotiate for her life. "Hold hold! I- I can be an asset to the Foundation! Think of the lives my intellect can save!" She then glanced at the flash drive and then back at Diana "In fact, as a gesture of goodwill, have my research!"

Diana took a knee down and grabbed the flash drive, Craggs gave a slight triumphant smirk until it turned full 180 degrees then Diana with all her might threw the flash drive away to the cliff to Craggs's horror.

"NOOO! YOU IGNORAMUS SHE-DEMON SPAWNED LUMMOX! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA- "She then stood up with outrage and began throwing a tantrum at the woman who ruined her work, her outrage overridden any fear she had for her life while Diana only gave an unimpressed scowl "ANY IDEA HOW MANY TEST SUBJECTS I HAD TO GO THROUGH!?! THE KNOWLEDGE I ACCLAIMED COULD HAVE HELPED MANKIND! YOU AND YOUR SIMPLETONS SHOULD BE WORSHIPING ME FOR IT!" She clawed both her hands up in malicious hatred "YOU DISGUSTING, PATHETIC, WILFULLY IGNORANT B- !!"

Then she was stabbed from her neck causing her to cry out "AHIE!"

"Get a taste of your medicine doc!" Diana growled the tool stabbing by her was one of the fallen virals she snatched with the number '610' marker on it.

Craggs in horror saw that market and before she could say anything began vomiting a fountain of blood on the roof. She looked and saw her right hand shaking before it turned red and claws dug out of her nails, not transforming but literally coming out and vegetative-like tendrils grew on her back and her body continued to mutate in the most harrowing and agonizing way possible as every nerve fired, organs exploding with parasitical biomatter protruding from them, bones becoming denser and flesh mashing and unmashing. She sickly squeaked and rolled over like a dying pig as Diana thought ironically while her body mutated and bony horns grew out of her back.

She did it.

The sicko is getting what she deserved, no more horrid experiments. Her husband was free.

She still lived.

Their children would not be under the Stans' custody.

Diana laughed, she laughed and laughed like a mad woman. That was when exhaustion finally gave in and Diana fainted, she could finally rest.

Jacob got up with a hand on his head feeling dizzy and groaned "Uuuh…what…hwere am I?" Confused he looked around and when he saw the unconscious body of his wife he immediately rushed.

"DIANA! DIANA! DIANA!" he called his wife's name as he came down in a rush and held her. "Thank the Serpent you're alive." he sighed in relief, feeling a pulse from her.

Jacob carried Diana in his hand and then commanded the lights in the entrance to temporarily go off and on, he gave one last look at the moaning abomination that used to be Craggs with a dark look with grime satisfaction and then he left to the entrance, became one with the shadows and went to join back with the others.

When the group went inside, the mechanical door was immediately shut. They looked and some were startled by seeing a humanoid that looked like Frankestein's monster.

"Holy Frankenstein!" Stan was that some with his weapon pointed.

"Frieden! Frienden! I'm friendz! Verdammt!"

And there was Here Chirurg with his hands up from the controller until he slowly put them down and frowned "And I appreciate not being called that, I'm Herr Chirurg."

"Oh look! It's SCP-542, how are you doing, you lunatic Frankenstein!" Bright greeted cheerfully and to everyone but Clef wasn't offended, if anything he looked founded and even more puzzling the two mad doctors then slapped each other's hands like two teenage friends.

"Pretty well if I say myself! With my parts intact!" Herr Chirurg grinned and ghastly jokes, causing Bright and then himself to laugh.

"And of course, crazies know each other." Stan flatly stated.

Clef looked at Adams with a frown "Didn't think to mention he is a SCP?"

Adam retorted with a shake of her head "Yeah…kinda slipped from mind, also wait what happened to the babies?"

"Babies?" Ford asked with both eyebrows raised, before Adams could answer him his twin interrupted.

"Oh Gee, I don't know, mentioning that he is Frankestein's monster come to life!?" Stanley sarcastically questioned Adams.

Herr Chirurg took offense to Stan and insulted him in German "Bildungsresistenter Intelligenzallergiker."

"What did the smarty pants say?" He asked the group.

"He basically called you a doofus." Bright snickered.

Stan tartily replied, "Tell Fritz he can suck a lemon, though I fear he may choke on it considering he looks to be obsessively surgical on himself with so many stitches that he looks like a creepy voodoo doll!"

"Arschloch!" the Surgeon SCP glared at him.

"Multi-bodied Fritz!" Ley glared back.

"Wichser!"

"Inconclusive debunked Surgeon!"

"Evolutionsbremse!"

"Organ Trafficker!"

Melting

A small hole melted through the door and from it, shots came after causing Herr Chirurg to duck and everyone else shooting as well.

Click click click

"Dammit! My magazine is empty!" Adams exclaimed.

"So as mine!" Stanley uttered the same problem to his frustration, he really liked his current weapon.

Suddenly, the lights briefly turned on and off, subsequently a shadowy form came from the hole and then materialized into a human form which then put an unconscious Diana on the ground who was none other than Jacob who then jerked his staff muttering arcane words resulting in his staff growing brighter and then the remaining molten steel re-melted, went up and then filled the hole again finished again this time with spells glowed on the door which then glowed up leaving the spelled marks burned on the door making the door even much harder to be melted or exploded by hardening its atomic structure further which was effective with the sounds of frustration could heard from the other side in both German and Italy from the fascists and failed attempt of their bangs at opening it.

Jacob, noticing everyone's alarm and pointed weapons, breathed as he held onto his staff tiredly with his legs a bit bent. "Is okay, I'm not the neurocracker's meat puppet anymore." "If so, then prove it." Clef petitioned with suspicion with his shotgun point. "You lost your driving license by the DMV."

"That proves nothing."

"You're the most insufferable human being I ever met and even if we two were the last humans I would sooner kill myself before spending the rest of my life with you."

"...Never mind, our geek back." The head of the Decommissioning Department was convinced to put his weapon down, even though he couldn't deny that he can be a humongous ass.

The Stans came near the Thaumaturge Pines who then sat near a wall. "You alright kid?" Stanley in concern questioned his state of being.

He waved a hand up "I'm good I'm good uncle, check on Seras." He motioned to his wife "And put the flash drive to the mainframe, there is a central computer here, I don't know why." He said in both relief and uncertainty, his paratech expertise made him able to sense there was a central computer here; nevertheless, he did not know why they would pit one here connected to the reactor chamber instead back in the central room.

"There's a mainframe connected to the main server, it's how I locked the doors." Herr Chirurg pointed out where it was.

Stanford connected the flash drive given to him by Jacob which was named 'SCP-2306' to the mainframe, the screen loaded and finally, a sound came.

"Greetings, the user. By what name would you like me to call you?"

" Uhm, Stanford Pines." he with a slight uncertainty told the AI.

"Greetings, Stanford Pines. I am Ian, your NANKEEN Computer Repair System. My review of this computer shows the system is currently polluted by cognitohazards and bugs. May I ask why you require my services today?"

"Purge all the bugs and cognitohazards and remove all defensive protocols."

"Okay."

The screen now showed a loading logo showing it working in purging the system from malicious mainframes.

When Ford turned back he saw a burnt mark on Stan's back while he was on one knee checking Diana as if he survived an explosion with crisped blackened clothing and the smell of burnt skin.

"Stanley, there's a burnt mark on you!" Ford troubled vocalized.

"It is?" Stanley turned back and then shrugged it off "Meh it's nothing, and shoo Chompy! Stop licking my back!" He told his pet dinosaur to stop licking his back, who was indeed doing that.

Warble

Chompy in protest warbled.

"I don't think licking can magically heal, ya stupid turkey." He grumbled.

"How did you get it?" Ford asked his brother.

He gave a glance back at Bright "Maniac over here rode a freaking walk and was just punching every button around like a pianist on high, and you gave me crap for my driving."

The six-fingered Pines scowl at the amulet-wearing doctor "I should have known you would be involved in something this underhanded and dangerous, Bright. You've always been reckless with no regard for the consequences of your actions."

Instead of being abashed, something surprising and unnerving happened, Bright gave a sinister chuckle as if Ford said something funny with a hand on his hair shelving it, that was a bit unnerving. "Hehehehe, Pot calling Kettle black, but I suppose you would know that would you Fordsy?" he said with dark joviality which caught everyone including Stanford's attention.

"What do you mean?" he was a bit taken aback by his sudden change of mood and the question asked for elaboration.

"The Interdimensional portal, Cipher, the Journals. Tell me, was your work too important to just burn the journals instead of trying to give it to your gaslighted and exiled brother because absolutely nothing wrong could go on? Or were simply too screwed in the head by your ex of a 'Muse' hmm?"

Stanford didn't back down and remade it before he sighed and tried to be civil not wanting to start another argument. "You don't know me, you only read my files, you've never been in my position."

Bright instead giggled like he heard a funny joke "Oh but I do know your type; self-righteous arrogant perfectionists in crisis. Feeling like only you have the answer with a control freak

tendency to try to control others." he then moved steadily toward Ford like a viper and spat poisonous words. "I know you have family issues either because of parent drama or simply you being dumb as a rock in communication, 12 Ph. D.s? Get fooled all over by the flattery of a one-eye nacho in endangering reality as we know it, ha! Laughable."

The scientist Pines narrows his eyes. "I don't know what your point is, but all I ever did was to protect people and to uncover the unknown."

He sauntered over to Ford with a mocking grin "And how's THAT worked out with you huh? the moment you got a taste of the world behind the curtain you got addicted but the moment you saw horror instead of wonder like a little scared boy scared of the dark you pushed everyone away, ran, hid and wallowed in self-pity." Jack mocked with faux mirth with both hands together near his head in a voice dripping sardonically and with slight mania that put everyone but Clef on edge as if watching a rabid cornered dog hissing and barking.

Stanley interrupted and tried to defend his twin brother as he frowned "Hey pal! I get that my brother is not perfect at all, but only I get to verbally spank him- "

But Stanley's objection was ignored as Bright continued his rant with a slightly heated tone "I know you're book smart, but impotent when it comes to understanding others and yourself, failing spectacularly." he waved both hands up to gesture wildly.

"Oho, drämə." The German SCP babbled, he now wished he had popcorn for it.

Bristling, Ford asked, "What's that supposed to mean?"

"I know you didn't do jack when your father was being crappy to your sibling and even participated in harming him or when you tried to get the kids separated. For someone who claims to hold family in high regard, you were quick to tear it apart. At least your father had the excuse of "Coming from another time" when spanking your kids wasn't considered abusive. No wonder Bill chose you, you both burn everyone you touch. " There was a particular edge in his voice. Ford did not know Bright's history with his siblings, but from what he gathered in that dreaded dream sequence last night, it was filled with regret and guilt and he was projecting it on him and while he was sympathetic, that didn't mean he wasn't angry at his accusations clenching his fist.

Ford looked like he was slapped across his face and then he glared daggers with clenched jaws "You egomaniacal, twisted, arrogant– "

"Ooh, stuck a nerve did I?" Jack grins wolfishly knowing he stuck a nerve "I know you didn't want to be lonely yet you burned everyone away when they disagreed with you because you thought the world would stop spinning around you that only you are in the right and then tried to bring your great-nephew to become like you a jaded paranoid with sibling dysfunctionality." The Immortal Doctor rubbed two indexes from his right hand.

Jacob at that moment gave a cold glare at Stanford recalling that Ford got between Mason and Mabel, oh sure Ford didn't mean to but as Bright said was so stuck in his own rectum that he didn't see that.

Ford was too enraged by Bright to take notice of his nephew's condemning glare "How dare you?? Everything I-

"Ah-ah-ah let's not get carried over here." he holds a hand to stop him. "I know the moment others get close to you, you push them away because just a teeny tiny love is enough to realize how empty the void in your soul is." Bright now close to Ford leaned forward and stared at him with demented eyes devoid of humor staring at his soul judging it wanting, for a moment Ford thought he was being condemned by Bill himself as he felt a chill like of which he only experienced when the Dream Demon taunted and haunted him for his past sins due to the sheer madness he was seeing from Bright's eyes showing his true age, no it's worse it is like seeing your future: "I know you. Ego of a king. The insecurity of a Circus Freak. Because I used to be you." he said it as he leaned close to him with the eyes of a man who saw too much, saw the world around him crumble to dust showing every age of his life.

There was now a pause with Ford not remarking flashes of mixed emotions flashed across his face and everyone else there staring except for Clef who smirked in vindication at his friend(though he would die before admitting that) verbally tearing Ford a new arse with the said Pines was feeling a torrent of conflicting emotions of fear, outrage and regret boiling on his face despite trying to be stoic in expression.

Alto snorted, seeing this as a chance to dig at Ford "You know what they say: people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."

Before Stanford could react to that a sound of ping was heated.

Ping

"The command has successfully finished."

With no warning, the lights instantly went off and on.

"I didn't do that…" Jacob baffled informed everyone this was not done by him as everyone looked at him

Radio waves were then heard screeching at one point becoming so deafening that everyone held their ears and Diana woke up from it.

"AAAH! THE NOISE!" She as he held her ears cried out.

The radio sounds became lower and tolerable then; however, glitchings could also be heard. "What's this? What happened!?" Diana demanded answers, being unconscious she had to context for it while Jacob came near her checking on his wife.

Ford instinctively took off the USB to make sure it was not damaged by whatever system failure was backlashing, yet he realized like others the glitches didn't come from the computer.

Indeed it was as if reality itself was flickering and glitching around with the reactor in particular glitching a lot.

Adams noted in surprise that there was no longer the sound of an enemy from the other side trying to get in.

"Hold on, the shrews stop trying to get in here!"

"Then I guess we just found ourselves in the lion's den." Clef drily declared. Ford told them what he told the AI to do, feeling like he made a mistake. "I, other than asking it to clean the system, also asked it to…shut down all defensive protocols." Stan facepalmed at his brother's action.

"YA BLEEDING IDIOT!" Diana shrieked at him, making him wince. "Dummkopf! That also includes every experiment they contained!" the German SCP, infuriated, snapped at him.

"Wow…you really are dumb for someone with 12 Ph.D.s." Adams flatly agreed with Bright. Clef with an unimpressed look smacked the back of Ford's head for this.

Herr Chirurg unimpressed voiced his criticism of America's Education System "If this is how you Americans get this many degrees, then I weep for your country's education system!" he hissed with his not-belong-to teeth.

The reactor suddenly grew a hue up and then the glitches around it became even more intensified.

"Release…me….!"

Voice that said it sounded very wrong, as if it did not belong to reality and it was like hearing computer glitches talking with you.

That was when Jacob's eyes went wide finding a revelation of what was inside the reactor and was slightly pale "Oh no…." that combined with even Clef seemingly tensed was enough to tense everyone because when Clef of all people is nervous, you know you are done goofed.

It was unreality screeching, glitching the fabric of reality around it like a very bugged software.

It was like staring at the natural cosmic expression of decay.

"The Universe really IS a hologram…" Stan uttered in astonishment recalling what Mabel once told him about when she eavesdropped on Gideon making a deal with Bill.

Jacob snapped at Ford knowing what it was "Congratulations uncle, you managed to unleash a special kind of abomination!"

"What the H is THAT!?" Stanley exclaimed while Chompy hid behind his legs in fear.

He with a grimace told what it was "The terminal stage of matter and life, a Pattern Screamer." he informed with a scowl sending reactions across the group.

"Oh donnerwetter." the German SCP stated in a slight panic.

"H-how they- how they even found a Pattern Screamer!?!" Adams stammered in disbelief at how the Nazi somehow found one much less containing it.

Ford took one step closer and saw other than glitches this ethereal mass of blackness around it like a cloak of dark with dying nebulas.

"The reactor…it's just not there as an emergency reactor, it's also simulating a spatially tessellated void inside a modified temporal field to contain it!"

"English please Poindexter?" Stan grumbled.

"It simulates space!" Bright chimed in.

Clef commented with a whistle "That's still a mighty impressive tech to have, I wonder if they stole that from Church of the Second Hytoth, those Intergalactic Space Inquisitors always looking for Screamies to hunt down across the universe so they do have the tech for containing this suckers."

"I-hduudhs- HUngeeeer !!"

Out of a sudden tendrils of a void blacker than space lashed out trying to get out of this cloak with the said cloak while holding was still being jolted like a bag. That was when Clef got an idea that made him slightly grin, an expression everyone knew too well whenever he got an idea "We should keep it."

Adam protested with a wave of her hand "Why would we want that? I say we should run the hell away and let the Nazi deal with it!" she then pointed at that thing still thrashing.

"Why would we? I mean yeah having a cosmic parasite as a pet is cool and all, but why?" Bright with an eyebrow asked Clef.

The Ex-GOC explained his reasoning with a duh "Duh, it eats almost anything! Any form of matter! It can eat through the Shield as well! This is what we are looking for!" Adam re-approached Clef, not being very fond of that idea.

"Don't you think the Foundation already wouldn't do that? I heard a couple of SCPs contained that are actually Pattern Screamers and there's a reason why we haven't used them, they're simply too dangerous! It also wouldn't be practical."

Clef was undeterred and then pointed out with an eye roll pointing each of his points with his indexes. "Firstly: most of them weren't so ridiculously powerful that we needed to simulate a whole damn microverse to contain it and at best were mostly good at infecting technology or a haunted facility." He then waved at the collision between reality and unreality across the reactor that was glitching "Secondly: big cosmic vacuum cleaner over here? Is literally warping reality by just thrashing out! The ones we had were practically babies compared to it. Besides, with the doomsday clock ticking we can't save the universe by playing it safe."

Jacob and Ford pondered that and they reached the same conclusion that the Foundation Devil was right with the thaumaturge Pines being a former Serpent's Hand and Sixer dimension hopping hearing about Pattern Screamers as they recalled that indeed they can almost eat through anything.

Ford himself once saw a leviathan of a Pattern Screamer devouring a sun in one dying universe he visited and Jacob once met a few of the 'nice ones' back in Wanderer's Library seeing their abilities first-hand.

Besides, with the threat of the Scarlet King even more apparent every day they wasted was another day to the eventual Armageddon where their universe would be onslaught by an undeterred, merciless red tide that won't indiscriminate no matter what, that includes Dipper and Mabel in it.

Both Pines shared a look knowing what each other was thinking.

"Give me your Quantum Destabilizer," Jacob told Stanford who nodded and gave his weapon to him.

"It's no use, it's out of the juice and only one energy source can compute it," Stanford informed him.

"Don't need to…" the Thaumaturge Pines shut his eyes forcefully as he by his force managed to take a part of the weapon out that looked like a capacitor making Fordsy cringe at seeing the weapon he worked so long being taken apart while Jacob let an inhale in managing to do that "The Neverwere are beings of zero point energy, their quantum systems constantly fluctuates meaning they are constantly shifting between existence and nonexistence." he, as he talked, put the capacitor-looking part with its wires put near his staff which shifted and looked like it was integrating it to itself.

"What I'm getting is, you're trying to simulate a bubble of space to contain Screamie here?" Clef assumption which the Pines in question noded.

"Yes, but my magic is already very depleted and I don't have time to recharge so…" He took more apart which made Ford even more wincing to Stanley's amusement and also sympathy

"I need a boast, I know sanguinary doesn't have a good reputation but we are not being spoiled with choices here.

Bright sighed like he was expecting "Welp, I knew this would end in needing a human sacrifice like the good old Aztec times, spill me." He dramatically raised his arms as if he were the statue of Christ the Redeemer "Just make sure it's the most painful part, I'm trying to beat my suicide record here in the most painful." that made Stan sure that he really is the 'King of Suicide' while Diana scoffed.

Jacob smacked his right foot with his staff making Bright whine while he exasperated said "Not that you doofus! Just blood samples, no need for human sacrifice!"

"Oh…maybe I should try blood sacrifice later with vampires, they make blood loss look hot."

Diana visibly showed her distaste and told Bright rather seriously "Never say that to my daughter." Mabel may get ideas with her bloodsucking-pretty boys' fantasy phase she already has. Diana knows what real vampires are like and they are an absolute far cry from the pretty boys Mabel fantasizes about thanks to that dumb romance book she read, she definitely plans to discourage her daughter by showing pictures of what real vampires really look like.

"Herr Chirurg, do you have scalpels?" Jacob while integrating parts of the weapon into his Sigil Machine asked.

Frankenstein's monster of a doctor scoffed "Blödsinn, You think I carry many scalpels just because I'm a Chiururg?" The German SCP was offended and then dramatically scoffed with shooks of his head. "Pff! Phag! Hah! Here." With a defeated look he revealed many scalpels in his hands.

"Not you or anyone here, It's Samsara's blood I need, they were made from the remains of a dead god, their blood is potent in Elan-Vital energy enough to juice my machine up." "Do we have to? There's an army outside!" Adams pointed out.

"We can, but there's much more guarantee of success the more it is."

"Pff, speak for yourself, I was just getting warmed up!" Clef stretched his fingers together. Jacob muttered under his breath some arcane litany which resulted in blue glowing runes appearing on the scalpels which he held, he then told what he did.

"They're enchanted now and connected to the ritual, just one touch of their blood to this is enough to activate the ritual without the need for being close." he then continued with a warning "Be warned a Pattern Screamer can affect minds so I also gave additional spells to counteract its influence; however, it can't hold forever so we have to react fast."

"What about you know, a way to escape this Godforsaken facility?" Adam inquired about what then after.

That's when Herr Chirurg chuckled darkly and decided to share it with everyone.

"Let's just say, the blue bloods were not the only ones I've put embryos into."

That response made Adams shudder while everyone else either looked at him weirdly(Bright and Clef) or apprehensively.

"Why do I feel like I would later beg for a mind wipe if I ask what you're babbling about?" Stanley wondered as he felt anxious and puzzled like a feeling telling him 'If you value your sanity, don't ask!'.

Adam with a grumble answered his question "Oh, you will." She was seriously considering asking for amnestics once this mission was over.

SMACK SMACK SMACK

ROAR!

Bending!

Something smacked violently at the door from the outside and it roared while the door slightly bent despite Jacob's spell making its atomic structure stronger suggesting something big and physically powerful was trying to get in, making everyone stare at it.

"I officially hate the body horror genre." Bright pouted knowing it was the Flesh That Hungers from outside coming to satiate its appetite.

Clef, while loading his shotgun, shrugged with a slight smirk. "Well, I suppose with every vegan's worst nightmare outside, I can paint the walls red even sooner with the Flesh That Hungers being here."

They were overwhelmed.

Munru was for now indisposed, Nanku was holding her left injured hand and Onaku had gashes across her face courtesy of the Hungry Flesh.

They faced way worse, they faced monstrosities of no comparison and god-like beings but even they were not susceptible to being overwhelmed by being attacked from all sides. They managed to take down plenty of soldiers and robots and even more thanks to Sachs; however, by this point they were exhausted and their bullets couldn't run forever. Speaking of Sachs the superhuman was surrounded by a pill of robots around him, panting and covered in robot oil and his shirt was ripped showing his muscular physique. The robots considered him as a bigger threat so they had the most concentration on him though they didn't exactly ignore the Samsara either.

Crack

Nanku with a sickening crack bend relocated her shoulder back without even wincing and that was when she asked for orders from her leader "Tau-Five-Alpha, what are your current orders?"

Irantus busy responding to the fire with the Stormtroopers replied "The abomination is focusing on opening the door and eating them," he gave a glance to the Flesh That Hungers trying to open the door tearing it open "The creature must be eliminated, our ammo not limitless and Sachs is invincible tell him to go eliminate it Tau-Five-Bravo and attached a thermo charge on him."

"Roger that." Onru being the nearest to Sachs received his order, but with the system pollution and jamming they could communicate from a far distance. She smashed a stormtrooper's head by smacking his head at a wall and then used him as a human shield against a shooting robot tearing holes in the stormtrooper, she then rushed and pushed on the robot using the dead body and as the robot struggled it shot chemicals which only hit at the dead boy while she activated a puls baton she had and smacked it repeatedly on the robot over and over despite it's protest and that was when Sachs see her needing help came in and sent a punch through that robot's chest and ripped off an internal complement that it needed to function and dropped down.

"You alright?" The anahuman asked her.

"I'm optimal, you need to go and stop the creature before it starts devouring our teammates." "But, isn't that an infected 610- "

"I have been informed that it is a modified non-contagious variant from the radio by the team there."

"But even still, there's a whole army of robots between them and us, I may not reach in time."

"You will be attached to my Arm-mounted Incendiary cannon to be launched."

"WAIT WHAT!?" he squawked at how calming the cyborg was nonchalant telling him that she was gonna launch her through her rocket.

"Time of the essence." she activated her cannon, connected and then connected a wire to it which she then connected around Sachs's torso

"WHAT ARE YOU- AAAAAAAAH!" His protest turned to shouting as he was sent flying away toward the Flesh Monster when the rocket inside her cannon flowed away with the wire connected between it and Sachs, unknown to him she also attached him from behind a thermo charge which she could activate from afar.

The rocket hit and exploded at the Flesh Monster's face making it shriek while Sachs dropped and rolled over the ground.

The Flesh that Hungers as it was regenerating the damage then shrieked when Sachs held him by his super strength, it lashed out with its tendrils gaining a sharp edge and came down on him to impale him; however, instead, they broke upon contact due to his invulnerability. "My turn!" the anahuman stated it was his turn now as he then jumped up and threw a series of punches each capable of breaking concrete, the creature howled as bits and pieces of its flesh were breaking faster than it could regenerate so it held Sachs with a few of its tendrils as he yelped, he struggled and before he could do anything the fleshy creature devoured him fully, yet it, as it was devouring him parts of its body, began inflating bigger and bigger as Sachs was going down until a massive explosion finally erupted exploding the Flesh Monstrosity from inside and turning it into pasta of blood and gore.

At the center of that explosion was Sachs covered in blood and gore with a look of absolute dumbfoundedness glancing around, taking a few seconds to register what just happened until he did.

"You used me as bait!" he incredulously uttered at Samsara.

"Tau-Five-Alpha it worked, target eliminated," Onaku informed her leader. "You used me as bait!" the incredulous SCP repeated again, unable to comprehend that. That was when the other group came out of their hiding inside the room in a bit of a hurry.

"RAUS! RAUS!" Herr Chirurg cried out as he ran.

"BEAT IT LOSERS!" Clef pushed Sachs away as he ran.

Bright patted Sachs on his back in a hurry "Yes yes, we all were there or at least me, make a move before it comes!"

"What comes?" Sachs, still stupefied, looked at Bright.

"free-pjwopdkwwcbn-DEVOUR!" a voice howled from an unreality that made him shudder.

"THAT COMES!"

Sachs, not wanting to be inside of the belly of another beast again complied and ran with the group. "You won't believe the things I saw!" The anahuman nearly shrieked, still shaken by being devoured alive.

The door began dematerializing and then compounding on itself as a void darker than the space devoured it, next it came out with a roar that warped reality around sending tumultuous waves around the fabric of reality.

ROAR

It was a thing of many tendrils and a gaping maw blacker than black holes that looked like something from the Greek Sea Monster Charybdis, except instead of the sea, reality and unreality were its domain and it was gluttonous for the normal matter to consume, it's kind did not needed sustenance yet their less 'nice ones' were envious and ill-intent to beings of

matter that are anchored to existence instead of shifting in quantum uncertainty and this one's idea of spite was devouring them to get fleeting moments of what is like to exist and sharing what is like being a living singularity as its victims spaghettificated.

The robots and soldiers began shooting at it, their bullets instead feeding it and its response in kind as it floated like a predator in a sea with its many tendrils then came and made kebabs on them impaling through them When happened the screaming soldiers and erroring robots then suddenly devoured from inside as if a micro singularity was created inside them no doubt consume by the Neverwere, its mere touch was deadly as it has seemed, it then floats away toward a moving tank which shot at it but it not being made of normal matter instead absorbed it and then its gaping maw opened wider and devoured the tank like a vacuum cleaner.

It was not gonna just stop there as it started devouring matter either by just touching it using its tendrils or by devouring it from its gaping maw.

As if it wasn't bad enough, the Pattern Screamer began affecting as some soldiers either had panic attacks or went mad by its mental attacks.

The Foundation side didn't have to worry about being affected as well due to the temporary protections Jacob gave and the Samsara having their brains hardwired.

Meanwhile, the team was dispersed running as fast as they could toward the Samsara to get a sample of their blood and with the enemies now scattered due to the Pattern Screamer it made it easier; Clef was the fastest as he just killed any soldier that was on his way reaching Onaku, Adams didn't even explained to Nanku that she was taking a sample resulting while getting the blood but also getting stamped on the wall by her until she hastily explained, Jacob helping Diana to move fast with one shoulder as she was still suffering fatigue too managed to get blood sample from Irantus and explain the situation to him.

The Stans were currently coming to where they saw Munru's dead body last time and also on their way were greeted by the sight of soldiers crying out in mental anguish thanks to the Pattern Screamer.

"Holy Hell! Did you see that!? That guy just shot himself point blank in the head!" Stan commented in shock seeing one of the soldiers committing suicide from going mad. As if that wasn't bad enough, the Pattern Screamer dug some of its tendrils into the ground causing disturbance to Earth and leading to a small Earthquake that made cracks all around and the ground go up and down, a few soldiers and robots fell into cracks and devoured by the tendrils down there or the tendrils instead got up and grabbed them and stuff. While the Pattern Screamer fed on any form of matter, it preferred living creatures more.

As Herr Chirurg said there was indeed a personal jet outside in the landing zone that as he said belonged to the "Bald Italian" who was sent by a representative from the Fascist Coalition.

The plane did not belong to any known design and despite looking like it was made in the harsh militant-looking rudeness it was a bit more advanced with one turbine fan in each of the two wings making it able to fly up instead of taking off by running on a landing path like a helicopter and the plane as a whole looked like the shape of a beetle.

The Mikes were dead of course as Diana told, but the method that the guards died was…unorthodox.

"You…implanted them with a failed fetus of a WHAT!?" Sachs squawked at the German SCP.

"I implanted failed fetuses of a magma fish inside them, so when I sent the command they died being boiled and melted from inside." the Mad Surgeon, rather chippy, informed him. Indeed the guards who were playing dead looked like they were boiled alive and were burning holes suspectedly where the magma fish eggs were put that looked like they melted through the flesh.

Sachs, lost for words, could only mutter "I…I'm both appalled and amazed at the same time." He didn't even want to know how he managed to put failing fetuses of magma fish inside them.

The German Doctor waved a hand up nonchalantly as he went for the room part of the plane "Ja ja I'm brilliant." until he found what he was looking for and smiled, not grinning but a genuine smile that made the anahuman even more scared of him "Hallo Children!" What the mad surgeon was looking for was a collection of offspring from numerous species including the Telekinetic Sharks that were put in the plane's aquarium with most of them imprinting on him very happy to see him even cooing near him while he fondly caressed them.

Sachs stared unbelieving, his mind unable to register the diabolical mad scientist side of Herr Chirurg with one that has a fondness for children, talked to himself in a whisper "I better remind everyone to not get surgery from him…."

"Whaz waz that?" Herr Chirurg turned back to him.

"Nothing!" he a bit too quickly.

Meanwhile, the Stans reached where the corpse of Munru was, which was not. "Aw crap, the dead cyborg is not there!" Stanley cursed.

"Look!" Stanford pointed out where it was being carried by soldiers with a general and a bald Italian.

"I want this dead body secured, there might be secrets to be found in the cyborg's body to reach one closer to creating the Ubermensch!" Elias commanded his underlings,

Warble

"Whaz?" he looked up and to his surprise was a dinosaur that warbled at him on top of a canister and before he could react it jumped at him with claws and teeth ready making him cry out curses in German. "GITZ THIS THING OFF ME!" Elias shouted as he tried to get it off while Baldy rather failed trying to get that thing off.

Stan hurried seeing Chompy as he and Ford ran towards "GO GIT 'EM CHOMPY!" he hurried with a fist.

Somewhere back in Gravity Falls, a certain man was feeling like his line was stolen. Before the soldiers could react Ford blasted one dead and the other then was hit by the Neverwere's tendril and sucked inside as he screamed.

Elias finally managed to get Chompy off him but then he was answered by a knuckle sandwich at his face and Baldy before he could draw his pistol was hit in his bald head by Ford's butt of his blaster but Elias was quick to get up grabbing Stanley's surprised head "JEWISH THIEVY FILTH!" he roared and hit his head to his knee making Stan spit blood from his mouth when he backed down on his face, Stan smirked even when Elias drew his gun at him.

"Well, I was a conman." Stan conceded with a smirk and held a hand revealing the bullet chamber of his pistol Elias clicked an empty barrel from his pistol to his surprise as he looked at his empty gun.

"SING UP TIN HEAD!" Stan told him and that's when Ford came near and electrocuted Elias with his electro-gloves making him sing with his scream and drop down smelling burnt hair as he groaned.

"You alright?" Ford gestured a hand to Stanley to grab.

"I got to punch a Nazi man, never better!" Stanford chirped and accepted his help to get up. Then without warning, Pattern Screamer now floating above the Stans, stared at them with nonexistent eyes.

"Uh oh…" Stan said while Baldy literally dragged Elias away to not become food.

"DUCK!" Ford told him and they both ducked when a tendril nearly hit them.

Worse, the living singularity opened its mouth wide open and began vacuum cleaning, sucking the air deciding enough is enough and was gonna sucked everything to its mouth as debris, stuff and unlucky robots and soldiers who haven't managed or be unable to hold on falling into the maw of the abyss.

Nanku grabbed Adams' arm while holding on to a door that was now open.

Irantus grabbed Onaku who in turn caught Bright who was a bit too eager to find a new way of dying.

"I EMBRACE DEATH! TAKE ME WITH YOU, YOU VOID-BENDING OVERGROWN QUANTUM UNCERTAINTY MOLLUSK!" Bright either snarked or genuine or both, no one knew as he said with lunacy.

Diana and Jacob held together with Jacob using his staff stuck deep into the ground. The Stans to grab for dear life at the shelf with Stan grabbing his dumb dino before he was sucked in.

Even more unlucky turn of events, Munru's corpse was on the verge of being devoured only by sticking on a column and that was not stuck forever.

"STANLEY! IT'S GONNA EAT MUNRU!" Ford shouted.

"I SEE IT, BRAINIAC! AND SO AS US!" Stanley shouted.

To make the matter worse, the cable Ford was holding which was connected to the shelve couldn't take him thus it was cut making them exclaim when he was sent toward the gaping maw of the Pattern Screamer.

"FOOOOORD!" Ley screamed his name and thought he was a goner.

A grappling hook was shot to and with its claws attached itself on the Conman Pines's right hip holding him. The grappling hook was shot by Clef with his two legs stayed put on two shelves holding the rope.

"You're even heavier than you look, Poindexter!" He grunted as he held.

"Clef! You have a grappling hook!?" Ford blurted out.

"The word you are looking for is 'Thank You, Clef is the best and I suck!' and I'm a firearm specialist, of course, I have the best grappling hook!" if it were not for the direness of the situation Ford would have rolled his eyes.

"Never let my great niece hear that!" Ley couldn't help but jest at that even during a life-and-death situation.

Seeing Munru's body was on the verge of dropping, Ford told Clef what to do "Bring me closer to him."

"Your funeral." He loses the rope a bit to get longer so the six-fingered Pines drop nearly to the cyborg's corpse when he gets near to it and quickly with a grunt he stabs his scapable on it before the corpse is finally sent away to the mouth of the beast.

The thaumaturge Pines suddenly feels a renowned strength as its staff starts glowing with arcane words activating it. It sent a blue blast of energy hitting the living singularity head causing it to stop trying to eat everything like a vacuum cleaner and instead, it shrieked and screeched.

SHRIEK

And thrashed and bashed as the energy bubbled around it slowly beginning to be sucked into the siphon, it's non-corporeal body began drawn to the staff like a drowned liquid while decreasing its mass over and over until the last thing left was its gaping maw giving one last defiant roar until it was no one and the screaming pattern was fully siphoned and imprisoned into the Sigil Machine, though faint echoes of its unholy screams could be still heard. Stan cheered and taunted rather loudly "How do you like that, you cosmic parasite! Never forget, Pines grit always beats Eldritch Fruity Magic!"

Jacob in relief sighed as he and Diana, holding on to each other slumped near the ground. Unfortunately, the Pattern Screamer drugged its tendrils down the earth and ate through it hence the foundation started crumpling once it was gone, that and that it already ate through holding structures of the facility also destabilize it further leading to the earth itself along with the structure of the facility began quacking from within evident by earth shaking and the cracks becoming holes that devoured any unfortunate soldier, robot and other stuff. That was when a wall exploded and from there came a strange design plane that was flying and floating up using its two turbines on its wings, its door opened revealing Herr Chirurg holding and then throwing a long rope ladder. ' "Komm schon! " He said in German while holding his crossbow.

Baldy barked orders to a bunch of troopers who started shooting, not appreciating having his plane stolen.

"MY PLANE! SHOOT THEM DOWN!"

The group was quick to move to the ladder, first, it was Diana helped by Jacob, second was Onkau with the help of Bright as her arm was damaged and the last few were Clef and the Stans with Chompy on Stan's shoulder coming up by then considering the structural integrity of this place was falling all apart there was little time to wait for everyone to come up to the plane so except for Diana and Jacob everyone else was still hanging on the ladder. Not to mention other soldiers and robots were shooting at them and the plane and the group also in return fired back with Clef's piercing sidearm. Irantus's bullseye shots, Ford's blaster shooting superheated plasma, Adam's shooting and the plane itself being driven by Sachs shooting its chainguns tearing soldiers and robots to shreds.

Baldy himself was shot by Irantus on his abdomen making him fall back as he held his bleeding abdomen as he fell "Not the plane…." He wailed bleeding on the ground, and even dying he couldn't help but whine that his plane was stolen and used by inferior wretches. It was a bumpy ride especially when Stan, the lowest one on the ladder yelped feeling like someone grabbed by someone around his back strangling his throat, it was Elias who with a hiss of prejudice and hatred. Chompy not appreciating its parent threatened to bite on one of

his hands making Elias hiss in pain Stan hit his head by backing his head and yet he still was hanging on him stubbornly with one arm so Stan then punched his face repeatedly and even with that with his face bloodied and looking dizzy the Nazi General was still holding on him like a leech.

Stan tried to do another punch but before his fist connected his face to his astound the general, finally unable to take anymore fell and lost his grip on him falling into the ground from his back making it on the ground.

"THAT'S FOR THE HOLOCAUST YOU SCHMUCKS!" Stan jeered loudly and gave a certain gesture after sucker punching Elias feeling so content in one of his life's goals; that being punching and destroying Nazi.

"Auf Wiedersehen, Dummkopfs! Hahahaha!" The German SCP taunted in German as he cackled and waved at them as the plane flew back to the hole it created on the wall and ran away from the destabilizing facility.

While the plane flew away, Elias who immediately got up lost his cool howled and cursed with his hands in clawing motion roaring in rage and contempt like he was imagining strangling the filthy Jews and the traitor "JEEEWWWWWS!"

CRUMPLING

Elias, still roaring, fell when the ground under his feet crumpled to his death. From Outside, the group could see the facility breaking down and the earth itself swallowing it as if Earth itself decided it had enough of the Nazi. It was finally over.

While the plane flew, everyone came up to the plane, Stanley upon reaching up the plane sighed and dropped on the closest seat while holding his nose. "I'm becoming too old for this stuff. At least I got to punch a Nazi." Chompy nuzzled near Stanley's face and he patted it this time with no usual protest. "Is this like working for the Foundation? Weekly existential crisis, trauma-inducing and nearly getting eaten by a cosmic vacuum cleaner?"

Clef snorted as he was checking on his gun "Only on Mondays." he then smirked at Stanford "And guess what. Fordsy, I save your self-righteous ass, you own me."

Ford scoffed, but he was too tired to respond back so he let Clef gloat to the side.

Adams, on a seat near him, dropped on her back and groaned "When we're back, I'm gonna take amnestic to forget everything related to Fritz." Just then Bright put a bag near her half opened and inside was the head of someone.

"Kill me." the bodiless head said, causing Adam to nearly jump up and shriek.

"EEH! BRIGHT!"

"What?" Jack obviously asked.

"WHY DO YOU HAVE A TALKING HEAD!?"

"Geeze, why is everyone so interested in me having a talking head?"

Irantus and Onaku were checking on Nanku at the center while that happened. Sachs put the plane on autopilot and came in "I've put it on autopilot, now if you don't mind I go to the shower and spend hours washing the stink." He hauntedly said and then went away, no one blamed him after being devoured by the Flesh That Hungers and then having its gore and blood covered all over him.

Jacob kneeled before Diana who sat on a seat and asked her in worry "Are you alright dear?"

Diana didn't respond for a few moments, staring at Jacob's eyes looking longingly and saying "I…I think so." she smiled which Jacob also shared, she then asked, "What about you?"

Jacob shrugged, "I think so too."

"Now, if you excuse me…" Diana got up and walked toward the Stans with an expressionless face who then looked at them with Stanley could feel the glare. "So…you wanted to take my kids in your custody huh?"

Stanley gulped that Diana remembered that taunt "Now let's calm down before anyone does something- " He and Ford then looked like surprised parrots making a noise when both of them started getting strangled by the enraged mother.

"DIANA NO!" Jacob cried out.

"FOR A GENIUS, YOU ARE SUPREMELY DUMB! 12 PHDs MY MUTATED ASS!" She berated Ford for his dumbness on unleashing a pattern screamer first and then went for Stanley "AND IF YOU THINK I WOULD LET EITHER YOU TWO FACED, HYPOCRITICAL- "

"Help…" Stanley whispered a half-choked noise as he and his twin were berated by a very angry mother who thanks to her mutation now had enhanced strength and was choking them both just one hand each.

Even Chompy did not dare to come to the defense of its parent, seemingly recognizing a family scuffle when it saw one as it looked oddly as it then jumped down and moved away. "Traitor!…."

To make it matter worse, Clef was there enjoying the scene with a very pleased Cheshire grin and so was Bright.

"Now I wished we had popcorn." the Immortal Doctor snickered. "Ugh, now I'm hungry," Clef grunted with a frown.

Without any alarm, Bright suddenly made an eep sound as someone snatched him, took him hostage and pointed a knife near his throat causing Clef to turn back to point his pistol while Jacob jumped up from his seat, Diana stopped choking the Stans and looked back and "Um…wasn't she supposed to be your previous body?" Stan held his throat half-throaty with an eyebrow recognizing the kidnapper as the previous body of Bright before he changed his body with a random Fascist Italian doctor.

"How did she even get here?" Onaku wondered while she and the rest of the cyborg MTF pointed weapons at the hostager.

"Oops, I forgot, unless I possess someone for a month they would be able to regain themselves." Bright realizing his mistake then fluttered his eyes and his expression of startlement turned into annoyance.

The D-class hissed with a look that clearly said she was not a person of mentally well mind. "I found a fancy jet everyone was dead so I came in and hid in the fridge!"

"You hid in a fridge?" Adam couldn't help but ask, though it would explain that the D-class looked slightly shaken with signs of freezing.

"There's a fridge here?" Stan doubled down.

"Not exactly an appropriate question, uncle!" Jacob scolded his conman uncle for not understanding the situation. His uncles can be so dense at times.

"I will kill you all, shower myself in your blood and then sell all your organs in black markets as I did to my parents and useless siblings!" The D-class snarled with malice.

Jack, still not worried about his life at the mercy of a psychopathic organ trafficker who just admitted that she harvests her own family, went on "See? Told you possessing D-classes is usually guilt-free! Is not like you become a D-class by stealing an ice cream machine!"

"Are you really trying to bring that argument while being taken hostage!?" Ford bristled at Jack's lackluster reaction and used this to argue with his issue over the very concept of D-classes.

"He's a body-snatching asshole who refuses to die, of course he would." Clef groused unsurprised and also a bit amused.

"STOP IGNORING ME!" She doesn't like being ignored and taken seriously. However, before she could continue she noticed a critter moving past her legs and the last thing she expected was that of an orangutan.

Coo coo

Stupefied, the organ trafficker could utter "What?" and her distraction was enough for someone to head butt her head by someone behind her, that being Herr Chirurg using his crossbow as a bludgeon.

She knocked out dropped on the ground while Bright now freed stand back "Can I harvest her organs?" Herr Chirurg rather innocently asked.

"NO!" Everyone except Bright, the Samsara and Clef shouted at the same time.

"Schweinhunds!". He pouted by locking his arms and then kneeling down and gently took the baby orangutan and moved away with an indignant huff.

"Tau-Five-Delta." Irantus called Nanku and nodded toward the unconscious D-class. Nanku complied and went over putting handcuffs on her.

Adams rubbed her face "Hopefully, she is a normie not secretly another eldritch horror that we need to do some magic-tech ritual."

"Don't jinx it." Diana dryly told Adams.

Stanley then out of nowhere stated something he recalled.

"Any sufficiently analyzed and understood technology is indistinguishable from magic." which took the ones well-versed in literature including Jacob and Ford in surprise at him with even Clef raising an eyebrow.

"Did you just…quote Arthur C Clarke?" Bemused, Ford looked back at his brother.

The conman Pines causally added "What? You get bored when you only read Fully Clothed Women Magazine and decide to read other things." Stan's eyes then widened after casually saying that realizing what he just admitted to and clapped a hand to his mouth.

There was a pregnant pause as everyone looked at Stan scandalized, except for Diana who looked unimpressed like she expected, Bright snickered and Clef grinned Cheshire. "I…did not need to know that." Ford reproached the abashed conman.

"This is the type of knowledge that should be kept hidden," Jacob muttered to himself which only made Bright snicker even further.

"Bet a Serpent's Hand never says that a lot," Clef smirked with an elbow hitting Jacob and said that to Adams who rolled her eyes.

"OKTOBERFEST!" That was the shocked yell of Herr Chirug heard from the lower room. Stan internally thanked God when something else came that stopped the continued embarrassment because he felt like he was gonna fluster and knowing Bright and Clef they would mercilessly tease him.

"Oh, what is it now??" Adam in frustration vocalized not having the patient for more shenanigans.

Everyone got up to see what was the ruckus down in the lower level of the plane and saw Herr Chriurg stare at the most mouth-watering sight they had ever seen.

There was a table that looked like it was befitting a king with roasted chicken, lobsters, shrimp, spaghetti and there was even caviar there. All put there in order.

Since it was the ship of a representative from Fascist Occult some already were guessing this was some sort of diplomatic talk usually involving using food to butter up alliances, that or the Fascists were gluttonous, they were Italians after all.

Stan gaped and whistled. "Goddamn, the Fascists were fancy!"

There was now an awkward pause with some expectantly looking at each other with Nanku and Onaku not knowing what to do, looking at their leader expecting a command. Irantus told his order on this "2 minutes, we are still in hostile territory."

The ensuing feeding frenzy would not be one of Irantus's proudest moments as the Samsara who had so far subsisted off of the recycled water of their Advanced Armor, and a feeding drip of nutrients descended upon the dining room like a pack of rabid dogs. With no time for niceties, and technically still being in hostile space, the Samsara indulged in the ancient soldierly art of stuffing their faces while they had the opportunity.

Bowls of soup were drunk like beers.

Chicken was ripped apart and munched like nuggets.

Shrimps were picked and snatched and devoured fully.

Lobsters are torn apart and stuffed to the mouth.

Grease and edible matter were splattering everywhere.

Non-alcoholic beverages were being swallowed non-stop. Noodles were rather loudly slurped.

If the Fascistic Italian GOI branch was here, they would weep just at the sight of how spaghetti was being treated.

It did not help when Adam, the Pines and the Doctors joined the frenzy as well. Except for Ford, Herr Chiururg, Sachs and Diana who backed away from the feeding frenzy though in Herr Chirurg's case he did just not participate in the ancient soldiery feast instead he objected and told them they should leave something for the children and pups and Sachs was still in the shower and likely gonna shower multiple times feeling very dirty. The fact that he actually sounded genuinely concerned for the younglings was still surreal for those not joining the feasting.

There was also Chompy ... For some reason decided to use the wash inside a bowl of soup, being reptilian he likely found it warm and comforting.

"Ewww! It's fish eggs!" the conman Pines gaged at what he just tasted. "Why do rich people even like this kind of crap!?"

"You're eating that?" Bright chimed in as he was interested in that caviar making Stan stare at him.

Meanwhile, Adams while biting down on a chicken leg all un-lady like then received many notifications so vexed that she was interrupted opened her console on his armor's right arm, needless to say, what she saw made her exclaim so loud that it grabbed everyone's attention and made her nearly choke on her chicken as she coughed and coughed.

"WHAT!?" her eyes bulged out of her eye sockets and before exclaiming she blinked twice to make sure she was seeing it right.

It was a wanted poster that put a bounty on certain kids that the Foundation caught from the Dark Web which included certain Pines and SCPs and writing that just told her that SCP-999 the poster child for cuteness and innocence was the offspring of Space Satan. Just when she thought they had finally had a moment of rest this happened.

Down in the wreckages…

Cough

"Uuuuuhmmm…." the sound of groans could be heard by none other than Nathan who miraculously survived deep underground with wreckage blocking the sky. "Uh…where…my…I can't….move! I AGH!"

Not unharmed, the height was simply too much and his back was broken he could feel his back agonizing and unknown to him he was having internal bleeding, even if he survived he would live the rest of his life paralyzed.

His paralysis was so severe he couldn't even move his neck only from where his head was in a position that was her left cheek on a dirty muddy ground, he was sure even if he could move his neck that would cause him to snap with his very mortal situation.

Gurgling

"Who's there?" He asked with his nerve being broken both figuratively and literally, he looked and saw a shadowy silhouette.

At first, he thought it was human but then it came closer revealing it wasn't human and when it came closer enough to unravel the shadows lit by the small light coming from the surface through a small he realized his ever-increasing dread.

"No. NONONO- !"

It was something abominable that gurgled, something that used to be human now transformed into an inhuman mass of flesh with spikes around its body. That thing used to be a vile woman who committed atrocities in excuse of 'scientific progress'. The disfigured abomination used to be Madison Cragg and now it came crawling toward her helpless husband to feast.

"NONONO- AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH- !!!!!"

The only thing that could be heard from outside was the sound of flesh ripped apart and a screaming man being feasted alive. No matter, only the inevitable was delayed and soon the abomination that used to be his wife would eventually die from starvation and thirst trapped with his soon-to-be-dead husband and no one would be there to mourn him.

—--END—--

Notes: phew! That's the hardest chapter I ever wrote, so many writer blocks….

I got some from the Book Of Bill and man that was good.

Also, I plan to make a series of one shots which you can find titled "Tales of the Weirdness and the Anomalous" which are like random addendums as of a way to give context or just for fun making one shots set in random times, for example I was inspired by the Book Of Bill so I decided to have the first chapter being Bill's thoughts on the GOIs of the SCP Verse and then I have him reacting to characters, SCP Verse's gods and SCPs.

The magma fish is SCP-788.

SCP-4852 is the walking site where everyone went Lord Of Flies.
