"SCP-6134 has escaped containment. Repeat, SCP-6134 has escaped containmen-"

Before Lawrence, or anyone else, could react, the power went out and a massive king cobra with scales of shimmering bronze, eyes glowing a violent gold, burst through the door, hissing in fury.

Carson pointed his gun at it and fired. The bullet bounced off the creature's scales. A long, sharp bone blade extended from the tip of the serpent's tail and it began slashing and stabbing at anyone in it's way. A group of MTF opened fire on the beast, with little result other than angering it further. 

Lawrence was slammed into a wall by its mighty tail and he felt something break. Carson was struck by the bone blade right on the head and crumpled to the ground.

The cobra turned its head to Lawrence and, slowly, its face turned into a deranged snarl and it bared its fangs.

"My plan would have worked perfectly if you all had never existed. Now, it is your turn. Your suffering will be legendary, even-"

"NO!"

Someone smashed through a window and tackled the cobra's head, stabbing what looked like a pair of scissors into its left eye. The cobra screeched in pain and coiled its tail around the attacker, lifting them to its face. It hissed when it got a good look.


Dr. Collingwood struggled to breathe as she was brought to the foul serpent's face. Naga looked more pissed off than she had ever seen him.

"HOW?! HOW DID YOU DO IT, HOW DID YOU DEFEAT ME?! NO MORTAL COULD HAVE ESCAPED SUCH A PRISON!"

The coils around her chest tightened. She raised her head and looked Naga right in the eye.

"There's a saying my father once told me," she wheezed. " 'Pride comes before a fall'."

That answer seemed to enrage Naga even further.

"Die! Die! Die! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE! DIE! DIE!!! "

 He screamed in fury and hurled her right through the wall.
