Project: Barrier

SCP-6992: "Mt. Ebott"

(C/n) means Codename if you're curious

"Alright everyone,back to your stations!! This mountain is now under containment and it's our job to keep it from public view!!"

Sergeants left and right,lecturing and ordering the rest of the mtf. As I get off of the chopper, the pilots start refilling the gas tanks.

"Dr. (C/n), I see you've arrived."

"What seems to be the problem,Clef?" I said,unfazed by his tone of voice. "I'll explain on the way." He said while blinking his third eye. "Was that supposed to be a wink?" I spoke as I raised my brow. "Is that what you saw,doctor?" "Ugh,nevermind."

We continued walking in the dirt path as we climb up to our destination.

"Do you know the reason I brought you here?" "No." "There has always been this legend about this 'war' between humans and monsters. Apparently,how the story ends is that the humans won and the monsters were sealed underground. Where we're heading is a cave. It connects directly to another cave higher from here."

"And the anomalous effect?" "Well, many missing person reports would always reference this one place. We asked the village captain of any specific details we should know of. He did say that the people who did go missing entered the lower cave. His child did say that she and her friends did a dare to go through the upper cave, and to her it was just a normal cave." "So the anomalous effect is only triggered when entering the lower cave?" "Bingo."

"We decided to call the mountain SCP-6992,and the lower and upper caves SCP-6992-2 and 3 respectively. All of the people who did enter the lower cave that got out were adults. They all claim contradicting things but still has the same idea. Goats,talking flowers,skeletons,fish ladies...Although they argued different things to each other. Two were complaining how one of them swapped the described personalities,one claimed that they're all edgy,one claimed that all they saw was this 'anti-void' and the list goes on. It seems that only children go missing . All seemed to have a common theme tho. This particular skeleton they call 'sans'. It's worth mentioning that Dr. Photosynthesis has analyzed the buttercups in here and claims that they aren't like regular buttercups." "It's Photosynthethic,and her last Name is actually Elliot." "Potayto potahto."

"We did send drones through SCP-6992-2 and it only shows a regular underground tunnel."

Eventually we reached the cave...which is now covered in police tape. "Y'know,we can put more effort into securing that thing right?" "A masterpiece,isn't it?" He says while strumming his ukulele. "Goddammit,Clef-" "I trust that you thought of making sure someone was covering for your site duties,correct-" "Gears offered to help, you were there." "Was I? Hmm,can't recall."

"Anyway,I need to attend to my own business. Have fun!!"

Whelp,I'm alone now.

I'll guess I'll talk to greenie-err, Elliot.

I went inside one of the greenhouses in here. There she was,talking on the phone. "No Bright,we are not letting you plant 963 on the everything tree. Not even if all of the O5 say otherwise-(C/n)!!" "Hey Thesis. Did I interrupt something or-" "Oh no it's fine, just Bright being Bright." "More like Bright being a rebel!" "Puh-lease,what's the difference?!"

We kept discussing on and on about stuff, talking about the latest tea. Y'know,for research. Yeah.

Suddenly,beams of light engulfed the insides of SCP-6992-2. We hurried to find the previously huge hollow hole inside is now glowing with a water-like substance. Kinda like end portals in minecraft.

I turned to Elliot. "Should we tell the others?" "I'll do it,you stay here," she says while handing me an icelandic flag. "SCP-7110." "But Ellie,Y'know I shouldn- aaanndd she's gone."

And now something or someone...is behind me.

Two skeletons immediately appeared. One was black and glitchy while the other was white with a black splotch in the corner of it's skull and has an outfit that was too detailed to describe.

"It's funny Error. How come you fail to understand what's best for the greater scale of things?" 'Error' then summoned a giant dragon skull that fired a huge beam that the other dodged. "Well Ink,thing is I'm not a fucking psycho!!" 'Ink' then formed a shield made of black paint as Error created red bones with sharp edges,pulling them down to his opponent with blue strings from his fingers.

It wasn't long before the mtf got involved. Two managed to pull both to the ground with whips. I took this as a chance to freeze their body except the face to prevent them from escaping using my icelandic flag.

"Hey!! What the fuck? I CAN'T TELEPORT!!" Ink said nothing with his emotionless face as he dropped his paintbrush. Same paintbrush rolled to the ground until it was stopped by a foot.

"Well,I see now why I was requested here."

I looked behind as I hear familiar ukulele strumming. "Clef-" "No need,Photosynthesis brought me here."

'He never learns.'

"Not one,but two reality-benders." As he walked towards the two skeletons,I noticed that both were observing his looks. Ink then spoke up. "Didn't your mother ever taught you that it's rude to interrupt two people having a conversation?" "YOU CALL THAT A CONVERSATION-" "Didn't yours ever taught you that it's rude to cause a scene?" Clef then retaliated. He then lifted Ink's chin,observing him quietly.

"Well aren't you quite the artist,I assume." He trailed his fingers near the eye sockets. "It's fascinating how you both have irises despite the lack of eyeballs. I wonder what happens if I pushed my fingers in?" "..." Elliot then intervene. "Clef,please not here. We can interrogate them inside the facilities-" "A-a-ah,stop. I'm just trying to show our new visitors what it's like inside the facilities anyway. It's not like they're leaving anytime soon." He said pointing to the cave which was no longer glowing.

Clef then was about to get his hands on Error,but not before he leaves his own opinion. "Don't TOUCH ME!!" "Ah,yes you're the feisty one correct? Alright. (C/n),you can thaw the ice." This took me aback. "But Clef-" "Thaw the ice." I did just that and both skeletons are back in their feet. "I'd like to remind that as long as I'm here,you both are completely powerless against us. And you won't even need me for that once you're both in your containment cells. Photosynthesis,you'll stay here incase we get more visitors. (C/n),you're coming with me and so is that flag."
