It's here!

SCP-738

“So let me get this straight here…” SCP-738 scratched his chin. “You want me to freeze you in time until Doctor Bright has a new host?” He sighed inwardly. SCP-738 would’ve never thought that Clef and Kondraki would come to him for help. Doctor Gears had stopped by beforehand, asking for SCP-738 to let him live on until he wished to die. He would give out free requests until the facility crumbled, wanting to watch the events unfold.

“Uh… Yes, that is correct.” Clef rubbed his arm and blushed slightly. Kondraki just looked at Clef with his face scrunched up in confusion at the scene. Clef’s statement brought SCP-738 out of his train of thought.

SCP-738 chuckled slightly. Especially after Clef asked SCP-738 for a golden pocket watch, apparently he had forgotten that it was Doctor Gear’s birthday and he needed a gift. One thing led to another and suddenly they were playing strip poker. Clef lost of course, because he never played the game, but SCP-738 got what he wanted. A nice good view of Clef’s-

“Yeah, that is indeed um… Correct SCP-738. Doctor Clef here may be a bit too occupied with his waifu fantasies involving the recently deceased SCP-682 but I’m sure we can come to a fair deal here- OW!” Kondraki rubbed his shoulder while wincing slightly. “I saw those weird drawings you sent to the Japanese Clef, if our co-workers weren’t dead, i’d totally use that to blackmail you- OW god damnit!” Clef punched Kondraki a second time, making him grumble and fold his arms.

SCP-738 just sat there supporting his head with both arms, elbows on the desk. He watched on in mild curiosity and amusement as Clef’s cheeks suddenly went to a deeper shade of red than before. The two humans finally turned their attention back to him after some mild bickering and swear words. His eyebrows went up slightly at hearing that SCP-682 had perished, but it wasn’t too far fetched.

“So. Are you two sure about your request?” Doctor Clef meakly nodded while Kondraki just said yes. “Well then. I do not want anything in return, because I just want to watch this whole thing play out. This will be the last request given to me in this current situation after all, what with all the things running amok currently.” He did a mock salute to the two humans and snapped a finger, not waiting for their protest.

Kondraki and Clef disappeared in the blink of an eye, aiming to reappear when Doctor Bright is revived in a new form.

SCP-738 let out a sigh of disappointment. He knew that humanity had finally done it. A remote appeared on the old wooden desk and an old CRT television appeared on the corner of the desk. SCP-738 picked up the remote and pressed the “1” button. The television screened flickered with static for a few moments before reluctantly projecting a black and white visage of a city. The city of Chicago to be exact.

“And they were so close to achieving so many great things” He was saddened at the scene of the destruction. Wonderful feats of architecture ripped apart into nothing. SCP-738 watched as the Sears Tower crumbled into a heap of twisted metal and broken glass. A flock of dragons flying over Chicago as they laid waste to the once great city. Former denizens now nothing but piles of ash and jewelry lying in a smoldering heap.

He pressed the “2” button on the remote. The screen flickered once more for a few moments before settling on the Chicago harbor from a bird’s eye view. He noticed that the United States Navy was attempting to flee the harbor, but the attempts were made naught as sea serpents wrapped themselves around the frigates. Crushing them with ease, like a knife through butter.

SCP-738 grimaced before turning off the television, not wanting to see any more of the scenes. He knew what was taking place, and it will cause massive change to befall the world.

He knew exactly what his part would play…

“Don’t we have a chance to pack… Our… Things…?” Kondraki trailed off as the weight of his situation. He had appeared in the middle of a classic medieval style town with a bunch of oddly colored equines staring at him with mouths gaping wide open. “Oh come on! We asked to be transported to when Doctor Bright arrived, not to a magical fantasy land! Right, Clef?!” Kondraki looked to his side for support from his co-worker, who was no longer there.

“God damnit Clef! You’re gone with the god damn gun, and I’m stuck here with the bloody camera…” Kondraki cocked an eyebrow in thought. The ponies were starting to get out of their initial shock, their faces morphing into either confusion or fear. “I could take pictures for scientific study… Maybe spot anomalies.” He looked around and nodded his head. “A lot of anomalies without the camera, check.”

He lifted up his camera and started taking random pictures in every direction, not pausing for a moment, leaving many ponies dizzy and shaking their heads. Kondraki finally stopped after a few moments, realizing that he had run out of film. “Drats! That tree over there looked so amazing to photograph!” He groaned. “Now where is that idiot co-worker of mine…?”

Meanwhile… In the Canterlot Castle…

“What the fuck is this shit?” Clef looked around at his surroundings. He was standing in front of two equally surprised pegacorns. The blue one was in a state of shock, while the white one was staring into space.

“Who the fuck are you two?” Clef looked at them with an incredulous expression plastered on his face.

The white pony looked like she was about to speak, but a white blur stormed through the throne room doors stopping her words in her throat.

“Auntie! Some strange creature is running rampant in-...” The white blur turned out to be none other than Prince Blueblood, a rather haughty, yet stupid, political figure. “What is this THING doing in the throne room! Kill it before attacks!”

Clef slowly turned on his heels to face the offending unicorn. The sound of stone scraping against stone could be heard as Doctor Clef turned. Instilling fear into the heart of the poor, pampered prince. “You what mate?”

Back to Kondraki

“Hey, where are all you fine specimens going! I have some wonderful pictures that I could develop, you should have seen your faces!” His head lifted up when he heard a string of curse words come from what sounded like a woman, or mare? In an accent that could only be… Doctor Bright’s. “Huh. I guess we did get transported to where Bright was at, right Clef- Oh god damnit I forgot that he isn’t here…”

Kondraki slowly crept towards the cursing, wary of what could be partaking at this very moment. He noticed that a crowd of ponies had surrounded the cursing mare, who seemed to back down a bit. There was a fainted lavender mare laying down next to her with drool coming out of her mouth. “I’m so screwed…” He looked at the blushing mare from his hiding spot from behind the flank of a pony, who was too transfixed on the scene before her to even notice Kondraki.

He emerged from the flank and stood up to his full height before yelling in a haughty and masculine voice. “Doctor Bright ole’ buddy ole’ pal! Come on over to your amazing and totally not fat co-worker who is totally not going to have a mental breakdown if we don’t get away from all these ponies, who are definitely NOT staring at us.” Kondraki glared at all the staring ponies, who seemed to have backed off a few feet. Some of them elected to wander off, and wander off they did.

Doctor Bright merely looked up at Kondraki. His face a mix of confusion and surprise. “So… How did you get here exactly?”

Kondraki looked down at the confused Doctor Bright mare creature and smiled. “SCP-738 was offering discounts. Clef came along, but i don’t know where he is.”
Bright nodded his head and kept to himself. Of course they lost track of Clef, they always lose track of Clef. It’s like Clef his constantly nowhere to be found. They would eventually find him, but it’d take some searching.

“There’s Doctor Clef, Bright!”

Doctor Bright looked to where Kondraki was pointing, and he was pointing at the large gold and white castle on the side of a mountain. A torrent of cursing could be heard even from that distance, signifying that Clef was indeed there. The proof was doubled when a pony came flying out of one of the window’s of the castle.

“Yup, that’s Clef.” Doctor Bright mused. “How’re we going to get him though?”

“Forget that useless amount of filler, let him find us.” Bright waved a hoof and scoffed and Kondraki, who just glanced at bright in confusion.

Kondraki looked around the general area and took note of the situation. Kondraki is alive, there is a strange lavender unicorn mare asleep next to Bright, Clef threw a pony from a castle window, and Bright is a unicorn. It seemed like an average day to Kondraki, so he just disregarded all that information. Doctor Bright had managed to get a host, so that was good. Now they needed to get Clef so that they could find a way to conquer the world.

That is… If Doctor Bright wanted to of course…

“DISCORD!” Celestia yelled in her Canterlot voice. She rarely ever used it, so when she did use it. Everypony knew that it had to be a huge deal. “GET YOUR SORRY FLANK IN THE THRONE ROOM RIGHT NOW!”

Discord promptly appeared, but he seemed to have a disinterested look in his eyes. “What is it Celly…? I’ve got some important business with the guys tonight, we were looking to go throw pies at some big, white, mean dictator… Oh hey, that’s you!” Discord promptly fell to the floor laughing. “Seriously though, what’s up?”

Celestia huffed and breathed in. “Please explain to me why this creature possibly killed my nephew by throwing him out the window? What is it? AND WHY DO I EXPECT YOUR INVOLVEMENT?!” Celestia was shaking with pure rage, the audacity of a creature to throw her nephew out the window just because he couldn’t control his mouth was absurd. Surely he would have asked first.

“What creature?” Celestia pointed with a hoof to something behind him. Discord turned around and his eyes finally settled upon Doctor Clef tied to a pillar. “Oh hey! Doctor Clef long time no see buddy! Where’s Kondraki?”

Doctor Clef looked at Discord with an even expression. “SCP-738 i presume? Time has done quite a lot to your looks.”

“Yes, time is a fickle thing…” Discord heard Celestia huffing from behind him. He turned back around to see Celestia. “Now before we do anything else, let me explain this all to you…”

“And that’s how Equestria was made!”

Doctor Bright and Kondraki looked at her incredulously. “Where did she come from Bright?”

“I have no clue” Bright replied.
