SCP {The SCP That United Them All}

51- SCP Final Solution! Part 2.

While 049 escorts Jackie down the hall, 239, Drake, and Claudia go their own ways. Once 049 and Jackie turn a corner, at the end of the hall, 049 spots 035 walking freely through the halls.

"Why are you out of your containment cell?" 049 asks 035 as they draw closer to each other.

035 smiles with a joking shrug. "What? I can't come to see an old friend?" He then looks towards Jackie and bows with his right hand over his heart. "Greetings, dear lady."

Jackie turns away with her hand over her mouth as if flattered by this gesture of respect.

049 looks 035 over suspiciously. "We are not going to have any trouble, are we?"

035 stands straight and chuckles. "Whatever do you mean?! It is not as if I got out of my cell by my own power!"

049 step slowly closer to 035, looking him in the eyes. "I am not going to pretend we were not friends once. However, we went our separate ways down very dark paths. The real question is where you stand on current events."

Jackie steps back slightly, watching them worriedly.

035 stares back. "We parted ways because YOU became a homicidal nut case. I simply get bored easily." 035 steps closer. "As for current events..." 035 removes his mask revealing a normal caucasian male with dark brown hair and a full beard underneath. "I have made my choice, I am going to New Edan to await your return."

049 smiles. "That is more like it!" 049 reaches out and hugs his old friend. "It is so good to have you back, William!"

035 hugs him back. "Good to be back!"

Jackie cocks her head to the side confused.

Once finished embarrassing, 035 once again bows to Jackie. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am William Shakespeare, the Bard of Avon!"

A slight laugh comes from down the hall as Dr. Bright, once again possessing a human body, walks up. "I figured as much! None other could be so cunning, manipulative, and sophisticated at the same time!"

035 smiles warmly. "You honor me, Dr. Bright! By the way, what was your choice, where are you going?"

Dr. Bright smiles wide. "To the next dimension to help save the world again!"

"Oh, you masochist!" 035 chuckles.

Dr. Bright laughs. "No one lives as long as us without picking up some mental issues!"

049 stares back blankly. "We.. are much older than you though."

"But I have certainly died more!" Dr. Bright rebuts.

035 points dramatically at Dr. Bright. "I will have to challenge that, sir! Our numbers may very well be on par with each other!"

049 leans forward. "He feels the pain though, however you do not."

"That is beside the point! We both possess our hosts and 'die'!" 035 rebuts.

Dr. Bright smiles. "We can compare notes later, for now...."

239 floats upside down over Dr. Bright's head. "Preparations have been made for the move to New Edan! Please join the others near the front door." She interrupts.

Elsewhere, Lucifer rises from the Nevada desert with an earth-shaking roar. "I'M BACK!!!"

Mary looks at her husband, who is confidently smiling. 

"Just like last time." He says confidently. He then motions to a figure on an opposite hill.

Lucifer surrounds himself in shadow as he grows. "Little ants! You will burn for your disrespect!!"
