Chapitre 143: Control is Everything(7)
In the site director's office, Jones was trying to contact the other sites for backup and tried to access the camera feeds from his own computer but since Washichi had control of the site's servers and pretty much everything, he couldn't do anything.
'Only a genius would be capable of doing something like this! Two weeks of peace and quiet and now the site's communications have gone dark and someone through the speakers is challenging us on who has real control. Bloody brilliant.' Jones sighed irritably.
As soon as he opens the table's drawer, Born this Way bursts out, startling Jones as Born this Way grabs one of his arms and judo slams his entire frame against the table, shattering it in the process before punching his head into the floor, cracking the ground and knocking him out cold.
After dealing with the director, Born this Way checks his clothes pockets and finds a level 5 key card then swiftly rides out of the office on his bike.
———————————————————————
The Dread Knight, who was still restrained on the deepest floor, was contemplating his future as he lay motionless on the table. Suddenly, Born this Way, who had entered the room using the key card he had obtained from the Site Director, entered.
Hurling his energy blade cybernetics into the chamber, the Stand proceeds to drive down the corridor and start releasing his other beastly cousins.
"At least he could have freed me from this table!" The Dread Knight screamed fiercely, still bound to the table.
But then, when he shifted his gaze, he noticed a male humanoid of thin frame and bright white eyes standing next to the table to which he was shackled. It had European attire, a pitch-black cloak with golden color motifs and patterns, a summer hat that was completely opaque, and other accessories. With razor-sharp clawed claws and completely black skin, it stood on the tips of its toes.
He originally assumed it was one of these supernatural entity from this place.
But no, this was an enemy Stand.

The enemy Stand just touched the metal table with its fingers while staring silently at the Dread Knight. The Dread Knight was instantly set free as the table began to decay and crumbled into pieces
The Stand turned back, rushed for the wall, and fazed right through it, entered the other cells, and began releasing his beastly brothers.
"Now to get out of here." The Dread Knight mumured as he hastily grabs his cybernetics and exits the chamber.
The rest of the forces of the hell dimension who were also contained here were also set free by the enemy Stand and Born this Way and the beast started their escape. The enemy Stand went into the vents and Born this Way used the stairs and headed for the other floors to free... some SCPs as well.
———————————————————————
In Site-19, Emma and Cain were examining some of the information they acquired on the argent crystal, while 191 was casually seated in a chair.
They sensed a presence as 191 and Emma turned to see the table Cain was sitting next to. They shook their heads and turned away. When they turned their heads once more, they noticed two arms emerging from beneath the table.
"?!"
"What the?!"
The two arms seize Cain's legs before any of them have a chance to respond.
"!"
"You're heading to site-17!"
As Cain is being pulled below the table, the voice on the table yelled at him. Emma and Buy 191 reach for his arms right away, but whomever is in the table is powerful enough to take them both beneath it and disappear.
———————————————————————
Slightly opening her eyes, Emma saw that she and the other two found themselves floating in some sort of void, with stars and darkness visible all around them, as though they were in space.
Emma sighed in relief and remarked, "I have no idea where we are, but it's a good thing we can still breathe here."
"Agreed." Cain said. In case 191 and Emma became separated, he grasped their hands.
They were suddenly blinded by a dazzling light in front of them. When the light vanished, they were faced with an endless number of gaps in space that were each exhibiting a different parallel universe, one of which was Site-17 in the root world.
"What is this?" Emma asked in both shock and amazement.

Within the darkness, they audibly picked up a menacing voice in the pitch-blackness of space, echoing over the limitless expanse.
"Gaze upon the boundaries of reality, knowing you have received the worst fate"
A shadow loomed behind them, their heads perked up and they slowly turned around to witness something that they would later deeply regret to see.

"Now perish."
Mainly focusing his attention on Cain in the middle of the group of three, D4C proceed to kick him through the gap that leads to site-17 in the root world. Since 191 and Emma were holding Cain's hands at the time, they are also dragged into the opening alongside him.
———————————————————————
Located at the Cafeteria, while Iris was taking down the D4C clones with a Glock pistol, Abel and Miguel were battling and killing the D4C clones there.
"Pensar que D4C de todos los STAND aparecería aquí!"
(Translation: To think D4C of all Stands would show up here!)
"Who cares. I'm enjoying myself here." Abel added as he smiled maniacally.
"Of course you are."
Suddenly, Cain, Emma, and 191 came flying out of the café from underneath one of the tables in an instant.
"Does everyone like to do the sparta kick?" Emma asked the two.
"It seems so." Cain responded
"...Uh oh." Iris widened her eyes, she knows this situation is absolutely not good.
And her worst nightmare had come true. As Abel was dealing with the D4Cs clones, he overheard a voice that he had not heard in a very long time yet was instantly familiar. He turned back and spotted his brother Cain.
"CAIN!" The Abel that people had previously seen as calm but exciting transforms into an animalistic guy with utter rage in his eyes.
"Abel! Forget Cain. D4C is tue real problem!" Miguel yelled as he battled the D4C clones.
But his words went on deaf's ears, blinding by rage, Abel ignored him since he was so furious and instead began to menacingly approach Cain. Knowing the situation turns to the worse, Iris pulled out the detonator for Abel's collar from her jacket pocket and was about to push it.
However, the real D4C emerged from underneath a table and karate chops her left hand off.
"AHHHHHHHH!"
Screaming in agony, Iris takes a few steps, gripping her left arm firmly as a result of having her left hand amputated. D4C uses his foot to crush the detonator into fragments as it falls to the ground with her severed hand.
"Dojyaaan!" D4C exclaimed as he momentarily turned his gaze to look at the Polaroid camera Iris had with her.
"Iris Thompson, otherwise known as SCP-105. Why do you serve these fools who have no true control over anything? Don't you want to leave this awful place of cold hearted people and liars? Don't you want to go back to your family? May I remind you Iris once they see you as a very dangerous threat they will, without any hesitation, try to neutralize you. You will then become a dangerous memetic SCP that will cause an XK end of the world scenario all because you wanted vengeance against the foundation."
Walking around her, he continued, "I've seen it happen from many parallel worlds and believe me, it's not pretty. Such a nice person turning into a memetic monster, because of the SCP Foundation and ending the world. How tragic."
"SHUT THE HELL UP! YOUR LYING! Right?"
"No." D4C shook his head, "I'm telling the truth, since I saw it with my ability."
Iris was trying to process the information. Although she didn't want to believe it, she understood how D4C works since she read the manga, and given his dimension-hopping ability and access to parallel worlds, he could be telling the truth. But when she was deep in thought, D4C snatched the Polaroid camera off her hands without her being aware of it.
"I'll be taking this. It's for the best anyway so that the root world doesn't suffer similar to the parallel world your version made chaos out of. Now whether you want to stick with the foundation or not, it's up to you."
Turning around, D4C noticed Miguel run towards him with a shadow spear but he swiftly hid underneath a table and uses his dimension-hopping ability and escapes. Miguel kicked the table off and noticed that he had vanished when he peered beneath it.
"Damn it!" Miguel cursed loudly, he turned around to see Cain dodging attacks from Abel's blows and Iris was lost in her own thoughts while Emma and 191 were taking cover behind a table from the fighting.
Suddenly small velociraptors started emerging out of the vents. When Miguel realizes what they are, he immediately throws numerous shadow shurikens at the raptors, but only seven of them were killed while the rest head for Emma and 191, but the remaining velociraptors heading for the two were immediately gunned down by Lawrence with an assault rifle.
"Agent Lawrence?!"
"Emma, what are you doing here?" Lawrence asked her in disbelief as to why she was in this location so distant from Site-19.
"Lawrence, get them out here!" Miguel screamed.
Nodding his head, Lawrence escorts Emma and 191 out of the cafeteria.
At the same time, Miguel brings out a shadow war hammer and runs towards Abel who is still attempting to kill Cain and with full force, he swings horizontally and hits Abel on the right side of his torso, sending him flying and crashing into a wall.
After dealing with Abel, Miguel asked, "Cain, right?"
"Yes."
"Take Iris out of here, and I'll keep him at bay!"
Cain nods and heads for Iris who was still lost in thought.
"IRIS!"
Hearing the yell, Iris immediately snapped out of her thoughts and finally noticed that her camera was missing in her hands.
"My camera, where is it?!"
"We'll worry about that later. Right now we need to leave and patch up that wound." Cain lifts Iris up and attempts to move forward, but then sees Miguel crashing into a wall in front of them, they turn back to see Abel approaching them.
"You're not going anywhere until I have your head!"
Glared by the enraged Abel, Cain and Iris hastedly fled out of the cafeteria. Abel was about to chase after them several shadow shurikens struck him in the back, he grunted in pain and annoyance. He then turned to see Miguel brandishing a shadow greatsword resembling the one Guts used in Berserk.
"Are you asking for death, Miguel?" Abel questioned him sharply.
"No, I'm asking you to forget your sibling rivalry with Cain and help us deal with the real enemy. D4C. We cannot let him get away with this."
"Sorry, but when it comes to killing my brother, I stop listening to anyone or any reason they give me." Abel said, a maniacal grin formed on his face, "So no, I'm not gonna help you until I kill him! You also lost the detonator so you are no longer in control. So I can do anything I want!"
Miguel's face darkened and mumured, "Caramba. Parece que tendré que cortarte entonces."
(Translation: Good grief. Looks like I'll have to cut you down then.)
As they sped at one another, the two simultaneously swung their massive swords and met, engaging in another fight between them, but this time, it was a fight to the death.
———————————————————————
With Iris and Cain, the two were running down the corridor as the entire site was in chaos.
"We need to head for my containment chamber, I still have some photos that I took from my camera and one of them is Abel's." Iris pointed out, "I just need to use the photo and manually try to activate the collar bomb and end him."
"I see."
As Iris finally reaches her containment chamber, the two enter it and witness something that changes their expression and stand there in utter silence.
In front of them was D4C, burning all the photos within a sea of flames that he had created in a bucket with some match sticks and wood. Throwing another photo into the fire, it completely incinerated them to ashes.
Sensing a presence from the entrance, D4C turned around and saw the duo.
"Ah! I see you were able to get away from Abel. So Iris, how does it feel to have the most deadliest combat capable SCP out of your control?"
"YOU BURNED ALL THE PHOTOS?!"
"Yes. All photos that you took with your Polaroid camera... are gone. Reduced to ashes. I also kept your Polaroid camera somewhere you can't find... ever. So basically you can't do anything."
"YOU FUCKING DIMENSION HOPPING SON OF A-"
"Language, Iris." D4C cuts off her sentence, placing his fingers on his nonexistent lips.
The room's lights abruptly shuts off, and Cain's arms briefly lit up to provide some illumination, but they soon noticed that D4C had already fled, perhaps utilizing the blankets as a means of dimension-hopping. On the ground, however, was a file labeled SCP-3002. Iris picks up a letter that had been left by D4C next to it, and it included the following information.
[Since the file is from a parallel world, so even if you read it, the memetic effects of the file will not affect the ones in the root world and you'll be perfectly fine. If you had read it in the parallel world it came from, you would be affected. Read the file and then you and the foundation will understand how your uncontrollable decisions led to destruction.]
Deciding to look into the file later and keeping it on a desk which was in her containment chamber, the huge problem is that their only trump card against Abel was gone and reduced to ashes.
"Now what do we do?" Iris asked deadpanly, as if she had lost hope.
"Miguel is a skilled fighter, correct?" Cain said.
"How did... oh yeah, I forgot you have access to all foundation files so you basically know Miguel's name and everything. Also regarding your question, yeah he is skilled enough."
"Then let him handle Abel for now while we try to get the foundation staff out of harm's way."
"Yeah, but..."
Then, Iris and Cain glanced up and noticed five D4C clones emerging from the ceiling vent.
"We have a lot of other things to do as well." Iris said as he pulled out a Glock pistol from her back, "Yep, it's gonna be a long day today as well."
"Can you fight with one hand, Iris?" Cain asked her.
"Trust me, I can. If you want to help me, that is?"
"I'm always ready to help, Iris. We are friends after all."
"Then let's go."
Readying a fight, the D4C clones lunged towards them while the duo took a fighting stance.
