SCP {The SCP That United Them All}

43- Escape From Purgatory (Sasha & 999)

239 sits down in the flowers and looks around. "Is.. this your fear?! Rather odd to be afraid of flowers."

2845 looks around, her eyes locking on the white werewolf. "No.. that white creature is his fear, his emotion of fear that is."

Rocky shrugs with a smile. "You got me!"

239 gets up and approaches the white werewolf, running her hand against the fur of his large arm. "You are intimidating, but I imagine that you are more docile now. Am I correct?"

The werewolf looks down at the little girl. "I am merely protecting my pack, rather I am welcome or not."

239 turns her head quickly to look at Rocky with an excited smile. "There are others?!"

"As many as I have emotions." Rocky replies.

The little girl puts her hands on her hips. "That still does not answer what your fear really is! I could keep guessing if you prefer!"

"Perhaps that is a topic best left for later.. Once we leave this place!" The werewolf suggests anxiously.

239 crosses her arms and rolls her eyes. "Fine, be the man of mystery a bit longer, but you will have to answer these questions eventually, whether to me or the foundation." She then turns and closes her eyes, waving her wand. As she does this, a portal opens in front of her. She slowly opens her eyes. "This is the closest one I can find, at the moment. I think it would be easier to bring them here so I can navigate our way out of this dimension together."

Rocky steps forward. "I will retrieve them. You stay here and keep the portal open."

"Big freaking duh, dude!" 239 answers sarcastically.

Rocky looks back at the werewolf. "You stay here so this dimension does not collapse once I exit."

The werewolf nods. "Finally a good use of multiple personalities."

Rocky starts through the portal, stepping instantly into a maze. He looks around. "This.. oddly looks familiar."

Just as he says this, he hears screaming getting closer. He looks all around, but the echo makes it impossible to determine its source. He begins slowly further into the maze, turning corner after corner, finding dead ends around a few of them. 

"Why does this layout look so familiar?!!" He asks himself annoyed that he can not remember.

Finally, the sound of screaming is accompanied by a familiar "Waka waka" sound that repeats endlessly.

Rocky's eye's narrow as he slowly remembers. Suddenly he groans. "You have got to be kidding me! Who on earth is afraid of Pacman?!"

Just then, Sasha runs around a nearby corner holding 999, both of them screaming. Sasha, having spotted Rocky, picks up her speed and slides to a stop behind him.

"I glad to see you!!!" Sasha exclaims as she pants for breath.

As expected, Pacman is not far behind, turning the corner next and heading straight for them.

Rocky looks back at the two of them, his eyes glowing gold. "Get clear." His voice echos as if a male and female voice were speaking in unison.

Sasha groans and continues running to the next corner and hides behind it. She pets 999. "Shh now. Rocky will get us out of here."

Rocky's body quickly becomes surrounded by a golden bipedal wolf form, lifting him off the ground as its legs form. As the giant Pacman gets closer, he reaches out catching it by its mouth, holding it open. The Pacman forces Rocky back a few feet until he begins digging the wolf's feet into the floor.

Rocky looks up with clenched teeth, the golden werewolf aura looks up at the same time. "Nice try, but 096 can force me back harder than this weak attempt." The male and female voice again say in unison.

Rocky then lifts the Pacman over his head and rips it into two pieces.

He then throws the pieces aside as they disappear. His eyes turn grey as he turns to Sasha. "Pacman has multiple lives and will be back!" He says hurrying to Sasha. "I assume that was 999's fear?"

Sasha looks around with a scared expression as she nods. 

"Then your's is the maze." Rocky says confidently. "I need you to overcome that fear so it will disappear."

"I don't know if I can!" Sasha whines.

Rocky turns her face to look at him. "I am here now. You are no longer trapped here. I will get us out." He says calmly.

Sasha looks up at him sadly. "Are you sure?!"

Rocky nods. "I am absolutely sure."

Just as Sasha's expression changes from worried and scared to a smile the maze disappears. Rocky grabs hold of her hand and run with her and 999 towards the portal as another Pacman materializes and begins chasing them again. They reach the portal and dive through, landing in front of 239.

"Close it!" Rocky exclaims.

239 waves her wand and closes the portal. "Did ya have fun?!" She asks sarcastically.

Sasha, laying on the floor, turns over and looks over at Rocky. "We really have to tell Lawrence to stop playing video games around 999, he is way too impressionable."

"He could have been playing video games with 2662, he probably would have enjoyed the company." Rocky replies, looking up at the sky from a laying position.

239 leans over them with an annoyed expression. "That is the second time you have ignored my questions. Do it again and I'll make you lick yourself like a real dog!"

"It was slightly exciting." Rocky replies.

"Better!" 239 smiles, standing straight and pointing her wand forward. "Shall we get straight to round two?"

Rocky jumps to his feet. "Bring it on!"

As the portal opens, a guest of wind shoots through, bringing with it a cold chill.

"I should have guessed!" Rocky says with a groan.
