SCP: A TRUE ANOMALY

With low time as was feeling SCP-9743, he placed SCP-035 inside the left chamber of SCP-914, and let the setting in 'Fine'.

After a short moment, SCP-9743 remained impatient and extremely nervous, his expression was one of high concerns, and maybe fear, but his movements were of having a lot of nerves on him. Once SCP-914 finished, SCP-9743 quickly went to see, and saw the changes of SCP-035, now being black instead of white, and with more comical aspects for a theater mask of comedy and tragedy.

SCP-9743 grabbed the new and supposedly improved SCP-035, and then, quickly, as he heard a big sound of something breaking, SCP-9743 opened a portal to his personal void, and fleeing of the place. SCP-096, after some time, quickly reached to SCP-914, as it broke the ground of the Floor 2 and made it's way to Floor 3, and where SCP-9743 was, but now, as SCP-9743 ran away inside his personal void, SCP-096 started yelling uncontrollably, and running away around Floor 3.

No one knows what happened with either SCP-9743 or SCP-035 while inside SCP-9743's void or realm. No footage, and SCP-035 wouldn't say a word, and just mess and mock, and the only way, was by SCP-9743 to telling, but that was something the Foundation had to work on, as SCP-9743 was still available for talk, but with his deep disgust and hate against humans, as he showcased, the Foundation needed to find another way to dialogue, maybe, a SCP with better experience with humans and the Foundation itself for act as intermediate.

After quite a big while, both SCP-9743 and SCP-035, remained inside SCP-9743's void, before the cameras inside SCP-914's containment chamber detected the portal of SCP-9743, and both being back again inside SCP-914 containment chamber.

During the time both were inside SCP-9743's void, SCP-096 was killing all guards, scientists and D-class on it's way, but suddenly, it stopped by SCP-9743 being back from his void. Once SCP-9743 was back, SCP-096 stopped attacking, and instantly turned to go where SCP-9743 was.

SCP-035 was being placed in SCP-9743's head, not being wear, but as decoration, also, SCP-9743's eyes were now red lifelike, and was having now a red crimson aura around him, and some fadeful barely visible rainbow light emanating from him and the aura, but the cameras also detected the behavior of SCP-9743 be very strange after being back from his void.

SCP-9743: "Alright, let's stick to the plan. You'll understand once... No, no. Let me talk... Guys, GUYS! Stop yelling!... Yes, I know... Just... Listen, for a moment, alright?... Thanks. Now, we have a threat on us, and is for the better good, alright?... Good to see everyone wanting to help for the better good. I'll do the hard work."

SCP-035 didn't respond, but the cameras inside SCP-914 shown if SCP-9743 was talking to a group of people, and not to someone as he shown other times to do.

SCP-9743 prepared himself, as slowly, he was starting to hear the yells of SCP-096 being louder and louder.

SCP-035: "96 is in less of 100 meters, darling~"

SCP-9743: "I'm ready. Are you guys ready to see an action movie in live experience?... Yeah, that's what I thought."

After a moment, the yells were very loud, SCP-096 was almost reaching SCP-9743, but this time, SCP-9743 was going for the kill. Once SCP-096 was barely reaching SCP-9743, SCP-096 somehow passed through SCP-9743, crashing against SCP-914. SCP-096 turned to look, and tried to attack once again SCP-9743, but... SCP-9743 didn't seem to move, and each time, SCP-096 was passing through SCP-9743. Suddenly, SCP-9743 and SCP-035 started fading as an illusion, glitching in the view of the cameras and SCP-096.

In a sudden, some sort of small and medium red beam suddenly covered a part of SCP-096's right elbow, and then, SCP-096's right arm was cut in half, as the bottom half remained stick to SCP-096, the top and hand fell down. SCP-096 remained confused, wondering where SCP-9743 was, but in a sudden, a lot more of that red beam started piercing everywhere around SCP-096, cutting everything on it and it's body, slashing through like SCP-096 was paper.

After a moment, only remains of SCP-096 was left in the ground, as a lot of parts of SCP-096 where where SCP-096 was standing, but all in the ground. Unable to move, suddenly, all went black, and SCP-9743 suddenly appeared in front of SCP-096, but then, in the same instant, all went black once again, now a big skull with rainbow marks, shot a big red intense crimson beam, that almost instantly vaporized SCP-096, and destroyed the containment chamber of SCP-914.

SCP-914's containment chamber was now debris, and bones around SCP-914, as covering SCP-914 from the damages of the debris. SCP-9743 opened a portal and went back to his void once again.

Inform: SCP-9743's Use of SCP-914 and Confrontation with SCP-096 Events in the Present

SCP-9743, aware of the incoming threat of SCP-096, urgently places SCP-035 inside SCP-914's left chamber and sets the machine to "Fine." His movements are quick, deliberate, and tinged with nervous energy, as he appears uncertain about what SCP-914 will do to SCP-035. SCP-9743's impatience and tension are evident, but he waits as the machine processes SCP-035.

Once SCP-914 finishes, SCP-9743 immediately retrieves the refined SCP-035. The mask now exhibits a black finish with enhanced comical and theatrical features. He stares at it briefly, as though assessing the changes, before hearing the loud crash of SCP-096 closing in on his location. Realizing the imminent danger, SCP-9743 quickly opens a portal to his personal void and retreats inside, vanishing from Site-19.

In SCP-9743's Void

Time passes within SCP-9743's void. While no one at Site-19 has any visibility of what transpires inside, SCP-035, attached to SCP-9743, remains unusually quiet after the portal closes. SCP-9743 is observed by the Foundation's last recorded camera footage speaking cryptically to unseen entities inside his void.

His dialogue suggests a rallying or commanding tone, as though he is addressing a group:

"Alright, let's stick to the plan. You'll understand once—No, no, let me talk! Guys, guys! Stop yelling!"

The lack of visibility into SCP-9743's void creates a chilling mystery about what—or who—he may be interacting with during his absence.

Return to Site-19 and SCP-096's Arrival

When SCP-9743 and SCP-035 reemerge through a portal in SCP-914's chamber, SCP-9743's appearance has significantly altered. His eyes now glow with lifelike red pupils, a crimson aura emanates from his body, and faint rainbow-like light shimmers intermittently around him. SCP-035 rests atop his head, attached but not worn, giving the impression of a decorative adornment. SCP-9743's behavior is markedly different—focused, calculating, and oddly conversational.

SCP-9743 begins addressing unseen figures around him again, furthering speculation about his mental state:

"Guys, GUYS! Stop yelling! Yes, I know… Just listen, for a moment, alright? Thanks. Now, we have a threat on us, and it's for the better good, alright? Good to see everyone wanting to help for the better good. I'll do the hard work."

Shortly after SCP-9743's return, SCP-096, still in an activated state, crashes through the floor and into SCP-914's chamber. It screams and charges directly at SCP-9743. However, this time SCP-9743 is calm, prepared, and far less evasive than before.

Climactic Fight Between SCP-9743 and SCP-096

The Illusory Tactic:

SCP-9743 stands motionless as SCP-096 lunges at him. However, SCP-096 inexplicably passes through SCP-9743 without making contact, slamming into SCP-914 instead. The cameras capture SCP-9743's body glitching, fading in and out as though he is not truly there. The screams of SCP-096 grow more erratic as it struggles to locate SCP-9743, who now appears as a fading illusion to both SCP-096 and the Foundation's cameras.

Introduction of the Crimson Beams:

Suddenly, small and medium-sized red beams begin appearing around SCP-096, slashing through its body with surgical precision. One beam severs SCP-096's right arm at the elbow, leaving the dismembered limb to fall limply to the ground. The beams multiply in intensity, cutting through SCP-096's torso, legs, and other limbs, leaving its body in scattered pieces.

The Skull's Final Strike:

As SCP-096 lies in pieces but still regenerating rapidly, all light in SCP-914's chamber vanishes. When the light returns, a giant skull with vibrant rainbow markings hovers behind SCP-9743. The skull's mouth opens, revealing a glowing red beam of immense power, which fires directly at SCP-096's remains. The beam instantly vaporizes SCP-096, leaving no trace of its body.

Collateral Damage:

The sheer force of the beam obliterates SCP-914's chamber, collapsing much of the surrounding area into rubble. However, SCP-9743 uses his bone-based abilities to shield SCP-914 itself, ensuring the machine is preserved amid the destruction.

SCP-9743's Retreat

After annihilating SCP-096, SCP-9743 steps away from the wreckage of SCP-914's chamber. Without pausing to assess the damage or interact further with the environment, he opens another portal to his personal void. The cameras capture one final glimpse of SCP-9743 before he vanishes, his crimson aura flickering ominously as he enters the portal with SCP-035 still atop his head.

Behavioral Observations

SCP-9743:

Tactical Evolution:

SCP-9743 demonstrates an impressive ability to analyze his opponents and adapt his strategies. His use of illusions and crimson beams against SCP-096 marks a new level of sophistication in his combat tactics.

Increased Unpredictability:

His cryptic conversations with unseen entities, coupled with his erratic yet confident behavior, suggest growing instability or perhaps a deeper connection to the absorbed souls in his void.

Disregard for Collateral Damage:

While he shields SCP-914, SCP-9743 shows no concern for the destruction of the surrounding chamber or the structural integrity of Site-19.

SCP-035 ("Cad"):

Post-Refinement Properties:

SCP-035's blackened appearance and theatrical modifications remain untested in combat or manipulation, leaving its full potential uncertain. However, SCP-035's silence during and after the void retreat suggests it is plotting or aligning its goals with SCP-9743's.

SCP-096:

Complete Neutralization:

SCP-096 is entirely vaporized during this confrontation. No remains are left to regenerate, marking the first recorded instance of SCP-096 being fully incapacitated.

Implications for the Foundation

SCP-9743's Capabilities:

SCP-9743's abilities continue to expand in both diversity and power, evidenced by his crimson beams and ability to render himself intangible. His growing control over his void and interactions with unseen entities within it raise concerns about his long-term containment.

SCP-914's Security:

SCP-9743's repeated use of SCP-914 to enhance his own assets presents a clear danger. The containment protocols for SCP-914 must be reassessed and reinforced to prevent further misuse.

SCP-035's Role:

SCP-035's changes post-refinement, coupled with its alliance with SCP-9743, could create an anomaly duo capable of unprecedented manipulation and destruction. Close observation of their partnership is critical.

Destruction of SCP-096:

SCP-096's vaporization represents a significant breakthrough in understanding its regenerative limits. This event warrants further study to determine whether SCP-096 is permanently neutralized or if its anomalous nature will eventually reconstitute itself.

Conclusion

This chapter underscores SCP-9743's evolution into one of the most dangerous anomalies within the Foundation's care. His escalating power, alliance with SCP-035, and capacity for collateral destruction pose a significant threat to Site-19's integrity. The Foundation must prioritize developing countermeasures and understanding SCP-9743's true motivations to mitigate future breaches. Simultaneously, SCP-096's apparent destruction may serve as both a warning and an opportunity to explore the limits of seemingly indestructible anomalies.
