SCP {The SCP That United Them All}

42- Everything For Love, Part 4.

Mary stands over Lucifer, no laying with his wings burning off his body.

"You used me!!" Mary growls.

Lucifer tries to get up, but Mary uses her earth power to hold him down. "You knew what you were doing."

"Bullshit!! You had control over me!!" Mary snaps back, hitting him with a tornado of fire, combining her wind and fire powers.

Lucifer laughs. "You can not kill me! I will just come back again and again!"

"Oh, this is not about killing you. This is more about causing you pain." Mary replies.

953 glances around quickly sniffing the air. "Lawrence just caught up to me."

"As long as he does not get in MY way, I have no issue. Thanks for tracking for me though." Mary says with a quick smile.

"I was happy to help." 953 replies.

As she says this 106 rises out of the ground, his expression is one of annoyance. "Kumiho.. return." He orders.

"But.. Lucifer!" 953 rebuts, pointing at Lucifer on the ground.

106 looks down at him. "Not.. our.. concern."

"I would appreciate any help I could get!" Mary comments.

106 sighs and holds out his hand towards Lucifer as a puddle of black tar surrounds him. Lucifer begins screaming in pain as the tar dissolves his body, it then parts to show a skeleton. The tar then proceeds to dissolve the skeleton as well until nothing remains.

"Satisfied?" 106 asks.

Mary nods silently with a surprised expression. She then leans over to 953. "Your boyfriend is a little scary."

953 smiles. "To everyone else, sure! But he has always been super nice to me!"

"Why is that?" Mary asks.

953 looks at her with a smile. "I first met him shortly before he became an SCP, back during the war. I could tell he was different from normal humans, so I kind of took a liking to him and him to me. After his transformation, he was a little more intense, but he never once tried to hurt me."

"That is nice!" Mary says with a smile.

"Yeah! He lets me into his pocket dimension all the time, and his black tar never touches me!" 953 replies happily.

As they prepare to follow 106, what appears to be a phoenix flies down and lands in front of Mary.

The phoenix quickly transforms, before their eyes, into a Native American man in a full headdress with a phoenix tattoo on the inside of his left arm.

Mary hurries over to him happily. "Hey, babe! What are you doing here?! And since when have you been a phoenix?!"

953's eyes light up. "Wow!" She says as she steps forward, but 106 pulls her back to him with a groan.

"Since our queen's death, I have been promoted to the official title of king elect.. until the princess can be located. I was tracking a great evil, but the trail just went cold." He replies.

"I.. killed.. him." 106 replies, opening a portal in the ground. He then looks at 953. "Come."

"Oh! By the way, this is my husband!" Mary says with a smile.

"Cool! Nice to meet you!" 953 replies as she is pulled through the portal.

The man turns back to Mary. "He will return. I have a team waiting for us." He holds out his hand to Mary. "I wish this was better circumstances for our reunion."

Mary leans forward and puts her earth arm around him. "Just being with you is all I need, sweety!" She then plants a kiss upon his lips.

Mere seconds later a massive explosion catches both of their attention.

"What was that?!" Mary exclaims, looking out towards the facility.

Moments before, Samara and Dr. Clef unload on the Scarlet King as he walks slowly towards them. The Scarlet King seems to absorb the rounds as they hit him, explosions, barely audible, going off inside him.

"Nothing is working, Boss!" The commander exclaims.

"Someone call in for the blackbird!" Dr. Clef replies in a shout.

The Scarlet King reaches down towards Dr. Clef, but the Samara agents grab hold of his hand, holding it back.

"No time for that, it would seem." The commander replies, as he and the others hit their breastplate and begin beeping.

"NO! Don't you dare!" Dr. Clef shouts, reaching out to them, but the commander pushes him back.

"We serve the SCP Foundation and all personnel therein. You and the lives of the others are our top priority." The commander says proudly. "Take that key, to the jeep, and get back to your daughter alive!"

Dr. Clef looks down at his hand, realizing he had handed him the key. He then looks back up. "There.. has to be another way!"

The commander shrugs. "If there was, we would be doing that, Boss!" He then turns to the others. "Once Dr. Clef is clear, climb!" He orders.

Dr. Clef hurries to the jeep and cranks it, looking back. "It was an honor serving with you all!"

"We feel the same way!" The commander replies.

Dr. Clef speeds off.

"GO GO GO!" The commander orders.

The Samara agents begin climbing up the Scarlet King at unusual speed, nearing his face. Once there, they grab hold and detonate their internal bombs.

Dr. Clef, now speeding through the desert, whips a tear from his eye. "Damn it.."

Likewise, in the fear dimension, 239 and 2845 fall into the flowers near Rocky.

"Ow!" 239 exclaims as she rubs her butt.

"Nice of you to join us!" Rocky exclaims.

"Don't give me that sass!" 239 exclaims pointing at him. "You have no idea how hard it was to navigate this bullshit maze!" She then looks at the white phase 3. "What the HELL is that?!"

The white werewolf rolls his eyes.

"A friend. So.. how do we get out of here?" Rocky asks.

239 stands and looks around. "Looks like this place is temporarily weakened. I might be able to get everyone out if we hurry."

"Well then, let's not waste time." 2845 says as she stands.
