A Bizarre & Anomalous Adventure in the SCP Foundation (Jojo x SCP x multiverse)

Chapter 47 - The Custodes, The Hunters & The Prototype.

(Site-334 omega, America - 12 AM)

Inside the vehicle bay of the site, Rodeo & his team arrived back to the site by, after the enemy invasion was foiled at Morocco. Medics immediately arrived at the bay and took Alcina away for further medical examination.

Rodeo then looks at his team and says, " I'll report to Jones. You all go to sleep."

Then rodeo leaves the bay and Michelle sits on a crate letting out a heavy sigh. The rest of the team left, but not vex who sits next to Michelle and asks her, " Something wrong, dear ?"

Michelle looks at her and says, " It's Rodeo....I don't know if I should even approach him anymore in the mental state he is in, and I kinda yelled at him back at Tangier....and maybe messed up expressing my feelings.", Michelle says gripping her hands together and continued, " Everyone and this world itself is in such a mess."

Vex pats her head and says, " I understand. Me & Vox machina even had rough pasts that still haunt us, but we still try to be better than those past memories. Percy is a good example. He removed his past demons and is now better than ever. I'm pretty sure you all will get behind your pasts and be better. It's only a matter of...time itself."

Michelle looks down and says, " I don't know, Vex. Your friends situations and mines are much different, but have suffering in it in some way. You really think Rodeo will become better ?"

Vex smiles and says, " I'm sure he and all of you will. Just don't let the war and this dark world you experienced, hold you back. Otherwise, none of it will matter in the end because you all lost yourselves in the darkness. Get some rest, Michelle."

Michelle nods and the two left the bay.

(At jones office)

Jones slams his fist on the desk in frustration, with rodeo standing in front of him after he was told about the Morocco operation and that it was an entire lure to expose the Dragon slayer, along with the fact a new enemy faction was working under the forsaken known as the Skaven.

Jones gritting his teeth says, " This is unacceptable ! If we only had more intelligence on the enemy, we wouldn't drag 5514 out in the open !"

Rodeo nods in agreement and says, " True...but what's done is done. We can't do much anymore."

Jones was a bit surprised was acting a bit calmer, and asked, " You ok ? You seem calm."

" It's Michelle, Jones."

Rodeo would then explain the short rant that went down on Tangier with Michelle and says, " She has a point though. I'm a shattered mess. But I care about all of this team...and yet I may have made it worse for all of them....with my actions. I'm doing what's best for them and the world because I know if I don't fall into the darker pits of reality the world throws at you....everything is gone. The emp missiles was that moment. You get me ?"

" I do understand, Rodeo. You know I won't argue today. It's better you head back to your room now and call it a day.", Jones advised rodeo who accepts it and left the office.

(At rodeo's room)

Rodeo entered his room and removed his clothes, before sitting on his bed holding Casull & Jackal on his hands and says, " I'm still me, Michelle. I will always be me.....I just wish my actions in stopping the forsaken, didn't brought such damage to all of us. Including me. Just what damage did you cause to other's as well in other worlds, Forsaken ?"

Then he lies down on his bed and drifts into his thoughts.
