Intermission

In the city, the team all got their own apartment there. It was all well done, with fifteen rooms, one for each person in the team, and even decorations to their liking, almost as if the SCP knew who they were. Homer is already drinking beer, eating food while watching T.V. shows that are actually to his liking. While he watched T.V., Lucas watched it with him for a while until he got bored. The PSI powered child would later play with Pikachu in the living room next to where Homer was. Link was already up from his rest, as he started to eat the chicken tenders along with drinking milk that the Ikea cafeteria usually offers. While doing so, the Champion of Hyrule was later bothered by Sailor Venus, when she asked him to go on a date with her. He sighed, and ignored at first, but due to the Guardian of Love’s insistence, Link decided that he should go along with her once he finishes. Mario decided to go out, as he is now working as a plumber for the city. Terra on the other hand was working with children who had lost their parents ever since with the situation.

As Link and Sailor Venus went out on a date, Homer was still watching T.V., until Samus came to him, and demanded that he get out of the house for fresh air, as Terra wanted him to go with her. Homer at first refused, until he saw a commercial where Moe Szyslak is on where the bartender says he’s opening up his own bar in a cafeteria where he now sells new beer. It’s known as “Moe’s New Furniture Bar”. He agreed all of a sudden, and went out the door. Samus was glad that now she can clean up the mess in the living room that Homer left, and maybe play some video games. Samus was able to do it quickly, as she was in her Zero Suit, practicing her gymnastics and arm to arm combat while everyone was gone. Mega Man X came in, and he talked with Samus for a bit. The blue reploid said that it’s nice that he can finally take a break fighting for peace, as everyone seems to be safe, and no worries from the Subspace Army, the Staff or any evil force. Samus agreed, as she said that once in her life she’s not alone and has more allies aside from the Galactic Federation who are of course now evil. They had a short conversation about their lives, Mega Man X said he has not seen his friend Zero since the corruption had taken place, as they decided to go out to see if they recognize any of the survivors.

Homer and Lupin III were already at Moe’s New Furniture Bar. Moe said that he liked his new job, but was disappointed that he does not have his own bar, and that the SCP are very strict on health regulations. Moe even said that the Ikea beer was the best thing he ever served. The thief agreed, but did feel Moe’s feelings, as he can’t really steal any artifacts since the Foundation takes everything seriously, almost as if they are in a prison. Of course Homer said that it did feel the same as Duff. The bartender even mentioned that Duffman is now a slave in their home world, forced to work in Mr. Burn’s Power Plant. Lupin III decided to leave, and walk around town. He met Inspector Zenigata, who tried to arrest him, until Zenigata realized that he can’t do anymore, since he’s working for the SCP law enforcement, along with that there is no point since all institutions back in their reality collapsed since Mr. X and other villains took over. They both felt together, knowing that they kept playing their game since the beginning, but they later went their separate ways.

Terra was at the SCP Foundation Elementary School, as she worked there as a teacher. She was teaching First Graders, as she taught the students such as the Animal Crossing Villager, Sailor Chibi Moon, and even Ralph Wiggum, who got held back. At recess, Terra would take a break out in a nearby restaurant, until she saw Ataru Moroboshi come to her. He was already invading her personal space, and asking for her address and phone number. The half-esper mage screamed, as she hit him and ran, only for him to follow. Johnny Bravo appeared and grabbed Ataru, as he apologized to Terra for his behavior, admitting that he used to be like him. Terra was grateful, and Johnny Bravo gave a lecture to Ataru about not being a prev. The most perverted teenager said that he’s glad the corruption happened, as he was in his house, having no plans to chase a woman, he was apparently shocked and tortured by Lum, who looked different. Lum dressed differently, as she now has pale white skin, red lipstick and instead of her usual tiger sprite bikini, she wore vampirella’s style of clothing. The same happened to Benten and Oyuki, as they came to her side to punish Ataru for something he didn’t do. Then it’s revealed to him that his world is apparently ruled by Dracula who invaded alongside Ashram. Ataru was placed to work in the mines along with his parents and his friends from high school. He ditched them as he saw an opportunity, hopped onto a train pulled by Hiro, one of Thomas’s friends who was a victim of the Subspace Corruption, and would later meet Johnny Bravo, who also had the same problems in his reality. The two would later become close, along with Carl Crzzyzzwik.

They would go outside of the café, as Sailor Venus and Link were on the side. Sailor Venus mostly talked about her interest and how handsome Link is, while he’s dozing off while he ate his burger. Ataru, as usual, would go up to the Sailor Guardian and ask for her phone number and address. She kicked him in response to the request. Crono saw what happened, as he took out his katana, and attacked Ataru, as the pervert simply held the sword in place. Johnny Bravo apologized to everyone, as he decides that the two should get out, and teach Ataru manners.

Crono simply said hello to both Sailor Venus and Link and asked them how the date is going. While Link was simply only going along to please Sailor Venus, she said that it’s the greatest date with a man she thinks is the most handsome. Crono mentioned that he’s out there keeping the Staff outside the Foundation's city, however he said that the SCP may need the assistance of their whole group soon enough. They all sighed, but the time traveler teen told them not to worry as it may be a while, so to enjoy the time off while they have.

Ike and Simon were outside traveling to Ikea. They spoke about the beasts they met, and while Ike spoke of the laguz as an oppressed group, Simon was shocked at the idea that beasts could actually be helpful to humans, and why powered creatures exist in the first place. Ike tried to argue that the humans do have some sort of power, with magic. Their conversation was interrupted once they both found a Primid in the bedroom section. They were both shocked, and wondered how it got into the Ikea, they ran right away to the town.

Upon meeting the same serious scientist from when they first enter, Ike and Simon explained the situation, although she did not believe them at first and accused them of wasting time, then an SCP task force agent came rushing in. The agent was the same one Homer saw on the security footage, and it was Lawrence. He said that he spotted a weird portal of some kind, and it was depositing Primids and other creatures into their world, along with a Subspace Bomb that they are trying to activate. The scientist, Dr. Gears said that it’s time for an emergency, as he told Ike and Simon that their group will have to go out to other corrupted realities to look for certain objects, which he will explain on a different date. He mentioned about the O5 council, and they decided that they might actually have to teleport the whole town in the crossroads between dimensions to avoid the Subspace Army and its allies.

The two guys were excused and allowed to take the rest of the day off. As it’s now night as the lights turned off, Ike and Simon spoke to each other of the impending doom that they may have to face and the fact that they may have to go out there again. They also knew that the SCP had sent out agents out to other worlds, as they got the explanation from others who did like Barney, Garfield, and Ness, who went out with his 3 friends to curb the corruption by Giygas, which the SCP classified as SCP-8035. They all went back to the apartment to find that everyone was already asleep in their rooms. Then they discussed their plans for what to do in case the SCP actually does collapse, and many get corrupted or turned into slaves.

Now at nighttime, earlier in the same day, Deedlit was in the SCP town’s park, as she was playing her lute, as she moaned about Parn, but also her world. The elf did so for a while, until out of nowhere, Ataru interrupted her, as he tried to flirt with her, and asked for her address. She simply kicked him, and then Carl Crzzyzzwiz appeared and grabbed Ataru. Carl apologized over Ataru’s behavior, as the nerd pulled the prevented teen away and told him that he and Bravo will have to punish him for flirting all day, but of course Ataru thought it was worth it. Deedlit decided to walk around the park for a while, until she saw that Lupin III and Zenigata were hanging out together. The elf said hello to the thief, and wondered who he was hanging out with. Lupin III introduced the cop from interpol, as they used to be rivals before the whole corruption of reality even began, but due to the SCP’s strict laws about safety, they are not allowed to continue, as Zenigata has no authority to arrest anyone, so they decided to casually hang out. Deedlit just told them not to litter or anything of the like, as she mentions about her job of making sure the park stays clean. Later on, Pikachu was lying down, as he was playing with the other Pokemon who also managed to survive the corruption, being mainly of the usual starter Pokemon from the various regions. Pikachu decided to head off towards the Nightclub that was there for a different demographic than Moe’s New Furniture Bar, and he thought about going there to maybe hang out. Pikachu met Deedlit along the way, in the park, with Pikachu who was interested in what the elf was doing for a moment. The two talked for a while about their love of forests and the environment. However, Pikachu did talk a bit about how he liked battling against other Pokemon. Deedlit was saddened by this, as it reminded her of the war on Lodoss that took place before the corruption, and how many people were killed. Although Pikachu did say that they mostly just battle for fun and nothing else, he did admit he had to feel bad for the elf shaman. The electric mouse decides to head off into the nightclub, as the two waved bye, both saying they will meet each other back home.

Pikachu waited in the line, and he was behind Ed, Edd and Eddy. Bowser was the guard who was letting people in and out. Once the three Eds made it there, the three gave their fake IDs to Bowser in an attempt to get in there. Bowser rolled his eyes and grabbed all three and threw them. Greg Heffley would also come and attempt to get in, with Bowser grabbing the wimpy kid, and asking him how he survived rhetorically. Greg would just give up, and head right home, but Ataru was running towards the entrance, and Bowser grabbed him easily, as the Koopa King complained that he had to tell him a million times to stay away, as Bowser just launched him like he did with the 3 Eds. He then allowed Pikachu right into the nightclub, as he knew that Pikachu won’t cause any trouble like with those 5 teens who attempted to get in.

Once the electric Pokemon got in, he was able to get some Pokemon food from the bartender, who happened to be none other than Major Monogram, who was there since his world been taken over by 2nd dimension Doofenshmirtz along with Carl who was turned back to his evil self, who turned all OWCA agents, Perry including into his 2nd army of cyborgs while the other Doofenshmirtz of his world just end up in janitorial duty. He said he had enough, as he let Pikachu enjoy his snack.

Pikachu then saw Kirk van Houten get rejected by a woman who was there, and now he's ranting to MM about it. Pikachu went somewhere else to enjoy his snack, until he met up with Morrigan. The mouse Pokemon went up to the succubus for a talk, and Morrigan was happy to talk to Pikachu for a while. They spoke mostly about how their lives were back there, and now Morrigan was happy that she can finally live her hedonistic lifestyle rather than having to focus on survival, and Pikachu was the same, as he can still battle with the other Pokemon who survived the corruption. Then Terra came over to greet Pikachu who she saw, as she snuggled him, and Pikachu did a Thundershock in advance. The succubus mentions to the half-esper that she should not do that, and Terra sighs and regretted her actions in not asking for consent. Then Zapp Brannigan came up to Morrigan, and he seduced her, Terra was disgusted with Zapp’s behavior. But Morrigan simply seduced him back, and talked about “hanky panky”. Terra yelled in complete anger and disgust about this, and Morrigan told her to lighten up. Terra ran in anger. Zapp then told Kiff who was next to him to go and clean up the bed, and Kiff sighs once again, that even in the Corruption, he still has to deal with Zapp. Pikachu slowly backed away, and decided that he should go back to the park and hang out with the other Pokemon. But before that, on the outside, Pikachu asked Terra why she came, and she said that she was actually hoping that she was going to meet some familiar faces there, since the nightclub was the place where social gathering happened, and the fact that others like Homer and Lupin III had met their friends, and that even others were reunited, and she was hoping that maybe she could maybe meet Edgar or anyone else. Then right away, she spotted the ladie's man, who also spotted her, and they both came to each other. Edgar immediately was glad that Terra was somehow cured ever since her capture and corruption by Barb-e, ever since the three statues, Kefka and the whole empire got resurrected along with magic coming back in to the world as a result, and of course Terra knew everything from there, as she and Celes have tried to check out activities in a cave to see what was happening, although, they of course ended up as her partners. And the rest of the Returners found out that they can’t really do anything, as they found out that magic, along with Kefka and the empire only came back, because they got outside help, especially when Edgar actually found that Kefka and the three Warring Triad, who were mindless husks were resurrected by who seems to be none other than Rhea, who promised him endless destruction if he actually rules over the empire, as long as he does it to “others” and preach loyalty to her, Smithy and Tabuu. Kefka actually agrees to this deal, and was able to get his power, and even an empire, being the resurrection of the Gestahlian Empire, of course with Geshal being Kefka’s servant. Edgar was glad that Terra was cured, and even asked who cured her of the corruption, and the half-esper woman had said she was actually cured by a thief, whom she is traveling with. Edgar remembered about Locke, and he commited suicide after Celes's corruption, as was saddened by it as was Terra, but wanted to know about the thief who freed her, but Terra reassured him that he is a decent person, and that are actually part of the same group that she was with, and commented that’s a gentleman, but said the same of the ‘treasure hunter’ in order to not make him look jealous, she said that she had missed him ever since the corruption of reality. Terra asked him what he does for a living, now with their world now taken over, and Edgar states that he actually goes out into the Infinite Ikea to look for any furniture that he sells in his store that is right next to Moe’s New Furniture Bar. Terra asked if she could come with Edgar on any of his journeys outside, as she wishes to spend time with him, and he allowed, but they had to ask the SCP permission first. So the two were later allowed to go out as long as she sticks with Edgar, as he obviously knows the way around.

Back at the Night Club, Morrigan was back as she waved around a bunch of cash, with a grin. She told Major Monogram that she would like to enjoy a Red Wine Spritzer, with the former head of OWCA giving it to her. She watched the scene, as many people danced around, then the succubus saw Crono. Crono was dancing, but was kicking and punching on purpose at the dance, as was doing a dance he called the “Caveman Strikes” demanding for everyone to do it. Morrigan watched as she got second hand embarrassment from this, and tried not to show as she just wanted a good time. One person, Kazooie was of course with Banjo, who were hanging out told Crono to pipe down, and refused to do the dance, with both the breegull and the bear calling it lame. Crono got aggressive, and demanded them to follow the dance, as with everyone else. Crono started a fight, and Morrigan started to face palm and got out, knowing the time traveler due to her interactions with him during her time together. As Crono responded to an insult, Kazooie told her that she failed at “his school of Crono’s dance-doo”. Crono would later also get into a fight with even more people, who joined in with Banjo and Kazooie, including Mythra, Rex, Shulk, Chris Renfield, Arthur, and a couple of others. In the sideways, while Crono was fighting, Cloud and Barret were there working as bouncers, and as they saw Crono fighting, both knew what they should do as they nodded with each other. They both grabbed Crono and threw him out of the night club. Cloud then told Crono that he is on the second strike towards being labeled as a “Euclid '' and placed in confinement. Now in the alleyway with all the garbage there, he saw Zapp Brannigan in the trash can with his legs dangling from the lid. Kiff was walking by searching for any unusual activities while taking notes, until Zapp requested for the green alien to pull him out, which Kiff signs to himself. Kiff was trying to pull Zapp out, and by that time Crono was out.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

While Crono was walking past the entrance of the night club, he saw that Bowser was there pounding his hands, as he got annoyed with Ataru once again for trying to get in. Crono then saw that Ed, Edd and Eddy decided that they should instead scam people who desire to enter the Nightclub, and they had scammed Ataru. Crono decided that he would not attempt to get in there, for many reasons, so he walked along the park grumbling to himself about his boredom of fighting the same monster again and again. Then he met Link along the way, in the park, as he saw the Champion practicing his sword play with both his Master Sword and Hylian Shield. Link then practiced his archery skills with his Hero’s Bow and throwing with his Gale Boomerang. Crono would come up to Link, and the Champion of Hyrule and complain about his boredom, and the fact he was kicked out of the nightclub for picking fights with others. Link points out that the time traveler was not supposed to be picking fights with the other survivors in the first place. Crono then complained about only fighting against the same monster again and again, and the fact that the staff keeps repeating “The store is now closed, please exit the building” annoys him. Link did understand about the monster variety, as some of his adventures just had him fight the same group of monsters again and again, but picking fights is no excuse. While Crono groaned about this, Link told him that they could watch the antics of Homer Simpson trying to get into the Nightclub or see him do anything else idiotic, but the katana-wielding teen passed on that. Crono would ask Link about the fact that Sailor Venus was obsessed with him, and she is no longer with him. Link would talk about how the Sailor Guardian is now spending time with Artemis and his group that he traveled with to get there, including Garfield, who saved her, and also Hank Hill, Zero, Robin the Tactician Mage, and Puss in Boots. Link states that since he is often not interested in finding romance with anyone else aside from the Zelda he knows and hopes to save, she is with Mega Man X now in order to make Link jealous. The Hero said that he simply just puts up with Sailor Venus, and is mostly interested in his weapons that he managed to bring with him once Ganondorf and his minions corrupted almost the entirety of the Kingdom of Hyrule. So Link does not care, and he’s really just more into weapons rather than fighting against monsters, which is something that Link prefers not to do since he has done it repeatedly in his many incarnations, and was growing weary and tiresome with it. Although Crono wanted more, he doesn't understand that it actually gets boring over time, especially since his wife Marle was taken over by the corruption, and not wanting to yet again face another adventure. Both Link and Crono talked for a while, and they both would agree that they would face off against the Staff again. Link did mention that the SCP has at times actually have some of the survivors actually go out on request to recover or even find way to reclaim anything outside of the Infinite Ikea, as Link heard about this from Sailor Venus, Lupin III and other residents there about the fact that the SCP has done so in order to study the corruption, and they are sometimes assisted by the SCP task force. Crono actually liked that idea, and he hoped that he would be picked to find out what’s going on. The two see that their break is over, and they are once again requested to defend the town against any staff who comes to their town to demolish the whole thing down. Then the two swordsmen decided that they should work together in the meantime to get rid of any Staff that tries to get through.

They would later meet up with Mega Man X, as they were outside, as more staff were coming by. Link and Mega Man X were talking with each other about their constant adventures having to fight against a certain villain to defend everlasting peace. Link asked about why Sailor Venus is now with the reploid, and he responded that although the Senshi did find him to be hot, she had indeed mostly done so in order to make Link jealous, despite the fact he does not care. However, Mega Man X did enjoy his time reuniting with his best friend Zero, and was actually glad that his friend was successful in escaping from Sigma’s invasion. They did talk with them, while Sailor Venus spoke with Artemis, and from what he told her and everyone else, he seen that there was actually some people, instead of becoming corrupted versions of themselves, they instead became Primids, or any other monsters that the Subspace Army is made up of by getting covered by Shadow Bugs, which forms them into that monster. As the white cat saw it with his eyes, others have also witnessed other accounts, making not even sure which ones are even their friends or family anymore. Some even found this to be worse than the typical form of corruption where the person at least has a semblance to themselves rather than just another mindless Primid trooper. Artemis saw this himself while traveling to other worlds, and Mega Man X had even mentioned the fact that Puss in Boots had seen his friends turned into Primids, along with Robin who seen his forces in the Ylissean army, as he seen his friend Chrom turned into a Primid, as he was swarmed by a bunch of Shadow Bugs, but he also mentioned how many others in his army were also turned into servants of Grima, such as Lucina, Cordelia, Sumia, Vaike, Frederick and other, and Tiki would even end up as the Voice of Grima, as her corruption was slow, but constant, as Naga was killed off. This fact that Crono and Link learned about disturbed them both, as then the Champion had mentioned that this reminded him of the fact that many of Ganon’s minions were former Hyruleans who also got corrupted by greed many times prior to the Corruption of Reality. They then were sent out alongside taskforce members along with other characters who were given the defense job to defend the SCP Foundation Town, and to make sure that the amount of Staff attacks gets reduced.

The three explored throughout the Infinite Ikea, as Crono and Link both decided to stop off at a cafeteria they saw, as they wanted to eat there, although Mega Man X did warn them. After eating, they all continued on, and then Mega Man X starts to get concerned about the fact that maybe a Primid or anyone else allied with the Subspace Army will eventually enter the Infinite Ikea despite the fact that they witnessed the Army being unable to enter, but the Maverick Hunter had concerns about there being that the Subspace Army somehow finds a way into the area. However, Crono was not concerned, as he was adamant about the fact that there will be no Subspace Goons. But Mega Man X did not agree, as he knew from his many times fighting Sigma and his army of Mavericks that the Subspace Army will somehow find a way in, and Link would agree with this statement, connecting over the fact of facing the same foe to protect peace. The three would later go back to base, where the lights turned back on, and Link saw that Mario was hauling carts of Staff parts that were sliced. Link told Crono and Mega Man X that he will hang out with the plumber, and maybe help out with the trash disposal, and the two told him that they will meet back at the apartment.

Link asked Mario why he is helping out with the discarding of the Staff parts, as he’s putting them onto carts if he’s working as a plumber. Mario then explained that he’s mostly just doing it mostly because it needs to be done, and he’s starting to view this as therapy for the plumbing he had to do, especially with having to go into people’s house who did less than ideal ways with dealing with their toilets, as Mario complained about the fact that he had to deal with the fact that apparently, Bowser his old nemesis keeps breaking his toilet, and Mario was also upset over the fact that Wario had keep blocking his toilet on purpose, and working with that was a nightmare. Then there are the likes of Ed, Edd and Eddy who all somehow get themselves in trouble, where they trashed their own bathrooms. So Mario took work as a Staff cleaner, and Link understood where his tiresome attitudes come from, as the Champion even notes that he regretted wasting his time gathering up those Korok “seeds”, and should of stopped when his inventory slots were all gained, and only got a huge golden “seed” from Hetsu. He at least got reasonable rewards for helping out other residents of Hyrule, but he regretted every second spent on the Korok seeds. Mario related to Link about being tired of saving Peach many times from Bowser, who won’t give up his romantic obsessions over the princess, as well as Peach’s own stupidity to allow this to happen to herself, despite the fact that she is capable of taking care of this herself. Mario said that he was jealous that Link only had to save a damsel in distress only once, even though Mario admits that Peach is still his friend, and will still do anything to protect but was sad that she and Luigi and the rest were corrupted. Link understood, as he mentioned that he and Zelda actually had plans to start dating, but ever since Ganon gained more power and intelligence, monsters swarmed the land, and was able to turn many of Hyruleans, Gerudo, Rito, Zoras and Gorons into the various Bokoblin, Moblins and other monsters in the forms of Hybrids, while creating more, and Zelda would eventually succumb, as Link said that this saddens him a lot, as he can no longer get married, and he hopes he can find a vital to cure her. Link would rant about how Sailor Venus being into him for being hot bugs him, and the swordsman wished that he could have used the vital on Zelda if he was given the chance, upset that the Senshi, along with Terra, and many others were cured before his girlfriend was. Link was upset, as he then saw that Lenny Lennard has a bunch of vitals, at 10, which is considered to be a huge amount despite the fact that it’s not a lot due to the rarity. Link was about to beg Lenny for any, but Mario told him that it would lead to a fight that will end nowhere. Link had to agree with that statement, as the fact that he heard that Lenny planned on using them to get Carl Carlson back, as Carl was actually turned into a Primid, and knowing which is which is a hassle. Link had mentioned that he has been saving up to even get at least one vital to get Princess Zelda back. Mario even said that he hopes that instead the SCP Foundation at least finds a way for them to somehow reverse everything, even if it means that their memories will get erased and it would seem like they would have never met each other. Then as Mario and Link had dumped all of the Staff parts at the main dump, next to the bedroom decoration aisles, and another area which reads “Exchanges”, without attracting any Staff on the way. Ike and Simon would later meet up with Link and Mario, as Simon would ask how both the plumber and the Champion are doing. The two told them about their subjects, and Ike even admits that he’s so far obtained two vitals that he plans on using to hopefully cure Elincia of the corruption she gone through, and maybe he could use the other to maybe cure another of his friends or maybe he could give Link or anyone else in the group, but the Radiant Hero said that even then, the fact that vital are expensive to the point that even the ingredients are expensive themselves. Ike mentioned that his sister was at least all right, and she managed to make it to the SCP makeshift town, and was able to actually spend time with her, along with the group Mist had traveled with. Ike mentioned that because the vital is in high demand, but low supply, there is to the point that there is a whole black market selling them, sometimes cheaper than what was sold officially by the SCP. Ike had suspicions about the black market, as he wondered what the vital was even made in the first place. Link asked Ike if he could have the vital, as he wanted to use it on Zelda, and wished that she was cured instead of everyone else that he met in the town that was cured, including two women in his group. Ike would bring up the fact that a hero should actually be as empathetic to others as possible, as he was on the battlefield, and understood how Link felt. Simon would mention that he also has a vital on his hand, and that he also has plans to use on the other Belmonts and warriors who fought the night who all turned into vampires serving the Vampire Lord. Ike would later bring up that Sailor Venus has plans to gain at least 4 vitals to use on her friends, and that Link should feel empathy, since the entirety of their whole team wants the vitals for their loved ones except for Lucas, as he has certainty that his father and everyone else is still out there, not being affected by the corruption. Mario would say that at the end of the day, they are a team, and they must stick together no matter what, suggesting that they share the vitals to cure who they meet first. The plumber would wonder if they should even go with the idea. So after Mario, Link, Ike and Simon dumped the Staff parts into the landfill, they went back to the town while running from Staff on the way, where Simon was brought over by a Researcher of the SCP, who wanted an interview. The Vampire Hunter told them he will meet them home, as he was told that they may send his group out on missions to turn things back.

By then, as the lights in Ikea turned on, Ike and Simon told everyone to meet in the living room for discussion. They told everyone the plans the SCP has for them today, and the details of the assignment. Simon said that once they are off to different worlds, divided by 5 to different realities assigned by the SCP, they should meet at “Battlefield” , a location with four platforms hovering above some ruins, instead of the SCP requirements, as he said that he had a feeling the town will be attacked, even along with the Staff. Ike said they are tasked with recovering three artifacts, the Star Rod of Kirby, the Helmet of Doom Slayer, and the shirt of Shaggy Rogers which still has some of his powers. With that in mind, the SCP plans to use all the objects to come together so they can use it to hopefully destroy Tabuu for good. Morrigan had a question about why they don’t follow the protocols of the Foundation, asking if it’s risky in the situation they are in, especially that the SCP could punish them intensely. The fifteen went to the headquarters that the SCP had made as a makeshift, where they met Dr. Gears and his assistant with the glasses.

Dr. Gears was glad that they all made it on time, as he mentioned those who had been late. He explained a bit about Tabuu, known as SCP 001, and how he started his plans. Tabuu was the king of Subspace and a Keter class object. The SCP had kept watch for Tabuu for years to make sure that he did not do anything. Over time though, with surveillance in Tabuu’s dimension, he seems to be having a bigger army, with more Primids beside him, then Giygas, SCP 8035 and Lavos, SCP 8036 were beside him, and Tabuu was smirking at them. Once the SCP Foundation found this weird situation, they tried to contain him in his home realm, except that now there is a breach by the Chaos Insurgency trying to free Tabuu, and they were assisted by the Subspace Army. The task force tried to hold them back, but there was no point, as there were too many. Then one of the Insurgency Agents pressed a button and released Tabuu from his prison, who then decided that he would free every single SCP, which he did. There was then a breach on every site, and all the anomalies like The Sculpture, Hard to Destroy Reptile, Shy Guy, Kumiho, Miss Sweetie, The Young Girl, Bobbles the Clown, the Old Man and several more actually all teamed up and worked together to destroy the SCP, and to top it off, it was infiltrated by the Insurgency in advance.

As the Chaos Insurgency with their alliance with Tabuu and the hostile anomalies, they all headed out to SCP-3008, the Infinite Ikea as a last resort, as the Subspace Army, the Shadow Bugs that make them up, and the corruption can’t go in there. So that is why the O5 Council declared it necessary to enter with as much resources and people as possible, and during that time, they did develop Portal Balls, or SCP 8002, which the Subspace Army also has. Dr. Gears decides not to tell more information, but he did mention that Shaggy, Kirby and Doom Slayer were the only people who can defeat Tabuu until they die. So that’s why he is sending them to receive the items, so the SCP can use them to annihilate Tabuu for good. Then Lucas asked Dr. Gears if they could somehow free everyone from the infection of the Shadow Bugs. However he disappointed all of them, as he said that the vital, made by SCP-049, whose location is unknown, can cure anything. However the SCP only has one left, as all the others had been stolen by others to cure their loved ones. And the few that are left were destroyed by Tabuu to prevent resistance and the major ingredients along with the recipe, in order to make his rule permanent. This made the entire team sad, as most of them have loved ones that turned against them, and were hoping to rescue them. Mario said they can prevent this fate if they can defeat Tabuu, free those who have been enslaved while at the same time save the world.
