Equestrian Legendsby Titan Of DevastationChaptersChapter 1: Into The VoidChapter 2: The Red & DeadChapter 3: Unclean WattsChapter 1: Into The VoidWraith woke up in her pod. She opened the door and looked around, a goal setting in her mind. She needed to do was make sure everyone was ok and inspect the additional pods. She tried to pry open Mirage’s pod but it didn’t budge. “Somethings flying at you.” The voices from the void warned Wraith and she dodged out of the way of the door to Gibraltar’s pod. Gibraltar stood tall and proud. “GIBRALTAR’S BACK BABY!!! NOBODY CAN KEEP ME DOWN!!!” Gibraltar looked at Wraith after a bit and stared at her. “What are YOU doing here?” “I’m in the same boat as you buddy we’re both stuck here. Now help me open these pods.” Gibraltar initially refused but after a bit she convinced Gibraltar to help her open the pods. She and Gibraltar got everyone they knew out and woke up a knocked out Lifeline. “Wake up Lifeline, we got some people who need healing.” Gibraltar said, sweating from the exhaustion of prying open the blast proof pod doors. Apparently Gibraltar’s pod door’s hinges were just rusty which is why he could send the door flying. “Yeah alright Gibraltar. Wit cha, go help the team.” Lifeline’s D.O.C bot, Wit cha, activated and got everyone back on their feet. As soon as negotiations were handled the doors to the other pods flew open. Out from them came a demon slayer, a space marine, a detective from 1998, a shadowy man with two handheld shotguns, a militia pilot, and a vanguard titan. “LILY?!?!?!” The detective seemed worried as the space marine raised his gun at the Legends. The shadow figure grappled with the demon slayer and the pilot stood shocked looking at the titan. The detective then gave up and sobbed quietly saying that he “just got her back.” After a while everyone introduced themselves and the group decided to make a temporary camp for the night out of the pods when bloodhound detected a hostile. Immediately Sebastian, the Detective, whipped out a crossbow, Jack Cooper, the pilot, got inside of BT-7274, Jack’s old titan, and became one with him. The Doomslayer, the demon hunter, pulled out a ballista, Spartan-117, the space marine, pulled out a “Spartan Laser” and Reaper, the shadow figure, disappeared into the shadows as the Apex Legends prepared for a fight. Then an orange filly with wings was spotted. “IN THE NAME OF OUR EMPRESS CRUSH THESE CHAOTIC DEMONS!!!” and thousands of others, Unicorn, Pegasus, & Pony, armed or not,charged at the group, yelling about protecting harmony and their “Empress” which made Wraith’s, Jack’s, The Doomslayer’s, 117’s, and Sebastian’s fists tighten. BT and Jack led the charge, BT launching Jack out of his cockpit so extra firepower was available. An arrow from the Doomslayer’s ballista lodged itself in one of the ponies and exploded. Caustic’s nox barrel was activated by a knife happy unicorn and the nerve gas made the unicorn and everyone around them crumple to the ground, incapacitated. Everyone’s firepower only incapacitated the enemy, since they were all holding back, hoping this was only a misunderstanding. Sebastian’s shockbolt chained ten unicorns, pegasi, and ponies and made them fall to the ground like Caustic’s nerve gas. “HELL YEAH!!! STILL GOT IT!!!” Sebastian yelled. BT was ultimately the one doing the most work since he was the biggest of the group and the one with a splitter rifle, set to stun of course, and cut down their lines with efficiency. “SAVE US EMPRESS!!!” The filly roared and shouted for her “Empress” and Mirage was about to laugh when the skies parted and a lavender unicorn with one black wing and one white wing descended from the skies. Everyone saw the atrocities she committed as the alicorn descended. She talked about it with pride and the remainders praised her for what she did… and it immediately infuriated them all. “CRUSH THEM TO DUST!!! LEAVE NOTHING LEFT!!!” Mirage yelled with an angry vigor. Suddenly they all set their weapons to kill and mowed the troops down. Even Lifeline was infuriated, as evidenced by the care package that crushed three of the alicorn’s troops and was packed with live explosives, which obviously exploded. The Doomslayer pulled out a Big Fucking Gun and fired a green ball of plasma at the army. As the ball cut through their ranks green tendrils of plasma reached out to the troops and made them explode. “YOU CANNOT RESIST HARMONY FOREVER!!!” Twilight Sparkle, the alicorn, yelled. “YOU WILL JOIN US IN HARMONY!!! AND THIS UNIVERSE WILL BE TRULY HARMONIOUS!!!” She then resurrected her dead troops and woke up her incapacitated ones, and sent them back at the group. They tried to hold them off but even with Gibraltar and Bangalore raining artillery, BT pairing up with Jack again, and Reaper doing a “Deathblossom” in the middle of the troops, they kept coming back, and it didn’t help that Twilight shielded her troops from the artillery fire from Gibraltar and Bangalore and retaliated by bringing her own. “WE HAVE TO FALL BACK!!!” Gibraltar said as he kicked a unicorn blasting at his shield at point blank. He ran out of ammo and moved in front of Bangalore and Pathfinder, both of who were having a hard time keeping the Pegasi away from the others and also keeping up fire. “AGREED!!! WE CANNOT FIGHT IN THIS CONDITION!!! WE’RE OUTNUMBERED AND OUTGUNNED!!!” Yelled Spartan-117 as he punched a earth pony trying to overpower him. “RETREAT!!! RETREAT!!!” “I GOT A PORTAL UP!!! LETS GO!!!” Wraith flagged everyone down and everyone went through the portal, even BT, despite his giant size. As they all went through the network of portals Wraith made Wraith cut off connections to the ones they just left to keep Twilight and her troops from following. Meanwhile Twilight Sparkle cut Wraith’s connections to the portals for her right as they were all in a portal, leaving them all trapped in the void with no way out. “GET US OUT WRAITH!!!” Yelled Bangalore. Wraith panicked as she tried to get the portal back up. “Guys.” She looked devastated as she looked at all of them. “I can’t get the portal back up… we’re stuck here.” Author's Note This is not official, the official sequel is out but no work has been done on it for a while, and since I was scarred by the original story, I decided to make this. Anyways hope you enjoyed, despite the chapter being short. Tell me if I made any spelling errors or if I have a typo. Thanks! Chapter 2: The Red & DeadReaper stood on watch as the group of heroes, who were discussing the group name before passing out, slept under a tree in the void. “Amazing on how the void works… it emulates the real world but it’s tinged purple and is blotted by resonances of others that went though the void in the past…is there any other secrets the void is hiding?” Reaper wrote something down in a journal he manifested from thin air using the mist that made up his body, and closed it shut, the journal disappearing. He then shadow stepped far away from them and pulled out a reddish orange clay disc inside a glass box with mirrors on the inside. He placed it on the ground and let it do it’s thing. He pulled out the journal again… nothing. The disc wasn’t moving. “Weird… it usually moves until it runs into a mirror… but it isn’t moving… let’s try something else.” He then put on a deer skull with a tiny hole on the bottom after shrouding himself in darkness that would act as a fail safe…and it did the same thing as the disc… nothing. “So neither the Red Sea object, SCP-096 or the Wendigo Skull, SCP-323, work in the void… Oh the foundation is gonna have a field day with Wraith’s void running… wonder what other SCPs it neutralizes.” He put SCP-096 and SCP-323 back into the mist, and returned to the tree the group was sleeping under. He was about to sit down when 096 just jumped out of the mist. “So it delays it? Hope the wendigo-“ his hypothesis was dispelled when 096 rolled in a straight line. “What the hell?” He wrote a quick note and followed 096. The anomalous disc then jumped up and broke through something. It was a few feet from the group and in it was a black abyss. The disc jumped through the hole with the sound of glass breaking, waking the group up making them panic, and they did so until Wraith noticed the abyss SCP-096 jumped through. “Reaper what did you do?” She stared at the abyss in shock, as reaper explained what happened. Bangalore scorned Reaper as Wraith noticed the grass in the void swaying towards the hole to the abyss. “GUYS HOLD ONTO SOMETHING!!!” Everyone grabbed onto anything they could as the hole’s gravitational pull grew bigger and bigger. Then a tree flew past the group and fell into the void, as they noticed alongside its growth in gravitational pull and gravitational mass it was growing bigger. Soon everyone realized that they were going to be sucked into the abyssal black-hole, that Reaper by bringing SCP-096 into the void made, regardless of what they did. The ground gave out beneath them and they all flew towards the black hole. Pathfinder tried to grapple onto a mountain and hold everyone but a rock cut the line and they all fell in. Pinkie Pie was sobbing quietly, signaling to her friends to stop, and failing, until a reddish orange disc with weird inscriptions on it rolled into the middle of the fight between Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy and fell down. Soon after a tree hit the ground near Applejack and they all looked up to see multiple living organisms fall through a hole that lead to a Ponyville tinged by purple. The first to touch down was not a living organism but a metal giant with a living organism in it’s hand and inside of it. Then a living shadow followed by two smaller sized green armored Minotaurs and nine other Minotaurs that didn’t look like Minotaurs at all but humans. A ebony human with black hair and armor with a strange device on their shoulder opened their mouth and spoke fluent ponish. “OH GREAT JOB REAPER, NOW WE’RE IN LIMBO!!!” It was clear it was a female, and it was pissed at the living shadow. The living shadow, Reaper apparently, retorted by saying he didn’t know that the disc would do that. “BANGALORE, HOW THE HELL WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT THE RED SEA OBJECT WOULD SEND US TO LIMBO VIA BLACK HOLE!!!” After some bickering and connecting the dots with names and who they belong to, Fluttershy tackled Mirage to the ground trying to pummel him. “I HATE YOUR FACE!!! I HATE YOUR VOICE!!! I HATE YOUR NAME!!! I HAT THE WAY YOU WALK!!! I HATE HOW YOU ACT!!! I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!!!” Mirage just stared wide eyed at the butterscotch Pegasus mare and said nothing. Eventually she was pulled off of him after he sustained serious injuries. “Ok first we just met you guys. Second what’s her problem and what’s your names.” Mirage pointed at fluttershy and then gestured towards the others. “Third OWWWWWWW!!! OH I THINK SHE BROKE A RIB!!! I THINK SHE BROKE SOMETHING!!!” Lifeline immediately took care of him as the equines watched her D.O.C bot heal Mirage. “Thanks Lifeline.” “No problem, can’t have you dying in here.” Her D.O.C bot suddenly zoomed over to the mares and connected to all of them, fixing their wounds and shielding Rainbow’s flank from herself. “WIT CHA WHAT ARE YA DOING?!?!?!” After that pinkie gasped and rainbow groaned, growled, and tried biting at her mark to rip it off, which couldn’t happen thanks Lifeline’s D.O.C bot. “THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!” Pinkie Pie hugged the D.O.C bot. The bot hummed happily, as pinkie told the humans what happened to them, in chronological order of course. Caustic blanched at the mind warping Twilight Sparkle did to Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy. “That isn’t right. That just isn’t right.” Caustic held his head as he spoke, pale as a ghost. “That’s horrible, who would do that?!” “You.” Wraith said as the legends laughed. Caustic looked at Wraith as she saw the terror in his eyes… “wait… You’re serious… YOU EXPERIMENT ON PEOPLE WITH NERVE GASES!!!” “I NEVER WARP SOMEONE’S MIND TO THE POINT OF SUICIDE BY SELF CANNIBALISM!!!” That really struck a cord with Wraith, and she’s about to punch Caustic when a groaning is heard. A purple shambling humanoid appears in the smoke and is immediately shot by Bloodhound. “Ve hath to move if ve vant to live.” Everyone tensed up and got ready to run. As the did so, Fluttershy kicked SCP-096 and laughed. “Oops, sorry I kicked your to-“ 096 became active again and shot off. Wraith scolded Fluttershy as the rest of them started running after the Red Sea object. Soon the entire group was chasing the anomalous entity as it barreled past more of the shambling humanoids. It then ran through a mirror making it into a portal to the other side, this side was tinged red but they didn’t care. They all ran through without any care in the world as a wave of relief passes over them as they escaped the humanoids, oblivious to the fact that they now were in more danger than ever… Author's Note This chapter was a one shot with SCP-323, the intro to pivotal tool to our group of heroes (SCP-096), and the beginning of the healing process of five former elements of harmony. If you can improve on how Bloodhound speaks please comment below on the changes you’d make if you were me. Anyways, PEACE!!! Chapter 3: Unclean WattsOne Day Later… The city was abandoned, and through Pathfinder’s lens it was tinged purple. “Yeah this city was obviously evacuated, I can see signs of panicked citizens scrambling for the city square, and traces of airships having had landed in city square.” Bangalore said. “Thing I don’t understand though is why there are energy weapon scores on the sides of some of the cars and buildings.” Rainbow was slumped over the D.O.C bot, not injured but just being lazy. Whenever someone would ask for her to get off she’d bite them, and Octane nearly lost a finger that way. She mumbled as she then saw a giant beacon of light appear in the middle of the city. “Thing I don’t understand is why A. There’s a big beacon of light and B. WHY IS THIS CITY IS SO FLOCKING HUGE!!!” Nobody payed attention the outburst, rather focusing on the beacon. “We should probably find the source of that beacon.” Wraith said with determination. “and since this city is so huge it may take time to get there, so any guesses on what it may be?” “Ooh ooh I got one I got one!!!” Rainbow growled at Pinkie for her enthusiasm, but pinkie didn’t notice or if she did pay any mind. “What if it’s a new legend that’s coming in season 2 of apex Legends of July 2nd which is the author’s birthday!” “I liked you better when you DIDN’T speak…” Rainbow grumbled to herself. She blew her mane out of her eyes as they continued on. As they got closer to the origins of the beacon they had to go on top of the rooftops to get closer, due to the fact that faceless humanoids now populated the streets, causing a traffic jam of living organisms. Caustic also learned they weren’t affected by his nerve gas, and saw that some were shot with a whole spitfire clip’s worth of ammunition, indicating they could take a lot of hits before falling stone dead. It even took ten direct pointblank shots from the BFG9000 to kill one of them. As they got in view of the beacon’s origins it was the tallest tower in the city, scraping the skies with tiny floating bits of metal surrounding parts of it, giving it that futuristic feeling to it. Mirage whistled to himself as Pathfinder set up a zipline connecting the building they were on to a balcony on the skyscraper. “Quite amazing… hey Pathfinder that zipline up yet?” Pathfinder gave a thumbs up as the zipline finished setting up. “Who’s ready to fly on a zipline? I am!” Everyone then got on the zipline and were quickly brought to the building’s balcony. Gibraltar kicked the door down and they went inside. Soon using a combination of Rarity’s magic, Pinkie’s Pinkie sense, and Bloodhound’s Eye of the Allfather they located the origins to be on the bottom floor. They all got on the elevator, which was big enough for all of them, and pressed a button labeled ‘B13’ which was the lowest button on the elevator. Soon the elevator doors opened again to a humongous generator, with a force field around it.. and a blonde female standing on a platform looking at it. On the platform were screens that showed the machine’s status and it’s power consumption, alongside a schematic of it showing each part of it, and those part’s power consumption, what percentage of health they’re at, and what it’s doing. The female turned around to see the group and was shocked, pulling out a wingman and aiming it at them. “WHO ARE YOU?!?!?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?!?!” She looked afraid… frightened… mirage held his hands up and everyone followed his lead. He then introduced everyone to her and learned that her name was Natalie Wattson. She looked at Rainbow and ran through the force field and held rainbow close, who promptly tried to rip Wattson apart but failed. Wattson rushed over to Lifeline’s D.O.C bot and started tinkering with it. “I need a couple items, can someone get me a self revive knockdown shield? Can someone also get me an Executor body armor a level five helmet, and a level five backpack?” After a few minutes they came back with the required items and Wattson melded them to the D.O.C bot. “Alright Lifeline, your D.O.C bot should be able to revive others, take a bunch of hits, and with a few mods, be able to heal those that are mentally broken. Let’s start with Applejack.” The bot shot a beam at Applejack and Wattson asked her a few true or false questions. Applejack was then asked to lie and when she couldn’t Wattson was cheering. “I DID IT!!! I FIXED A WARPED MIND!!!” After Wattson tested Rarity for generosity, which she passed when she cried when Wattson told Rarity that her father died, and tested Fluttershy for kindness, which she also passed when she apologized to mirage for what happened in limbo, she was ready to help Rainbow. The D.O.C bot fixed her memories and Wattson tested for loyalty. “Alright Rainbow, your friends are in danger of dying again, you have the choice to save them and sacrifice yourself to save them or walk away and let them die. What do you do?” Wattson has her pad ready and was beaming at the prospect of helping Rainbow. Rainbow looked at Wattson and laughed. “Good you have loyalty-“ “I let them die.” At that Wattson dropped the notepad and pencil. “They did nothing for me, and even if my mark isn’t fake, they did way too much to hurt me.” She pointed at Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie as she spoke. “I can never trust them again… so don’t waste your time trying to save me… I’m too far gone…” she flew to a balcony and lied there as Wattson wipes the tears off her face and got up. “Not every test goes right, you messed up on your first forcefield so why is this any different Natalie?” She then went to pack up her stuff and was ready to go when a giant humanoid, with long arms and no bottom half of their body and a face with many holes in them crashed down and nearly grabbed Rainbow who flew out of the way. “Oh no… the unclean have arrived…” “What do you mean?” Mirage yelled as an elevator full of unclean opened up and they surged towards them. One grabbed AJ who bucked her captor in the face, staggering them. Wattson looked at the clock on the computer which then at that second ticked down to zero. As soon as it ticked down to zero, the forcefield fell and Wattson spoke “Our Times up…” Author's Note Yes this chapter introduces the new legend Wattson to the story, and the next one explores the secrets the dimension SCP-096 originated from has hidden beneath the surface… HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!!! You’re SOOO LUCKY THAT APEX LEGENDS IS STARTING SEASON 2 ON YOUR BIRTHDAY!!! JESUS PINKIE!!! You gave me a scare there. Never do that again! And yeah that’s a lucky coincidence but hey, don’t go around revealing my personal information ok? You got it Aidan! GOD DAMN IT PINKIE!!!
Chapter 1: Into The VoidWraith woke up in her pod. She opened the door and looked around, a goal setting in her mind. She needed to do was make sure everyone was ok and inspect the additional pods. She tried to pry open Mirage’s pod but it didn’t budge. “Somethings flying at you.” The voices from the void warned Wraith and she dodged out of the way of the door to Gibraltar’s pod. Gibraltar stood tall and proud. “GIBRALTAR’S BACK BABY!!! NOBODY CAN KEEP ME DOWN!!!” Gibraltar looked at Wraith after a bit and stared at her. “What are YOU doing here?” “I’m in the same boat as you buddy we’re both stuck here. Now help me open these pods.” Gibraltar initially refused but after a bit she convinced Gibraltar to help her open the pods. She and Gibraltar got everyone they knew out and woke up a knocked out Lifeline. “Wake up Lifeline, we got some people who need healing.” Gibraltar said, sweating from the exhaustion of prying open the blast proof pod doors. Apparently Gibraltar’s pod door’s hinges were just rusty which is why he could send the door flying. “Yeah alright Gibraltar. Wit cha, go help the team.” Lifeline’s D.O.C bot, Wit cha, activated and got everyone back on their feet. As soon as negotiations were handled the doors to the other pods flew open. Out from them came a demon slayer, a space marine, a detective from 1998, a shadowy man with two handheld shotguns, a militia pilot, and a vanguard titan. “LILY?!?!?!” The detective seemed worried as the space marine raised his gun at the Legends. The shadow figure grappled with the demon slayer and the pilot stood shocked looking at the titan. The detective then gave up and sobbed quietly saying that he “just got her back.” After a while everyone introduced themselves and the group decided to make a temporary camp for the night out of the pods when bloodhound detected a hostile. Immediately Sebastian, the Detective, whipped out a crossbow, Jack Cooper, the pilot, got inside of BT-7274, Jack’s old titan, and became one with him. The Doomslayer, the demon hunter, pulled out a ballista, Spartan-117, the space marine, pulled out a “Spartan Laser” and Reaper, the shadow figure, disappeared into the shadows as the Apex Legends prepared for a fight. Then an orange filly with wings was spotted. “IN THE NAME OF OUR EMPRESS CRUSH THESE CHAOTIC DEMONS!!!” and thousands of others, Unicorn, Pegasus, & Pony, armed or not,charged at the group, yelling about protecting harmony and their “Empress” which made Wraith’s, Jack’s, The Doomslayer’s, 117’s, and Sebastian’s fists tighten. BT and Jack led the charge, BT launching Jack out of his cockpit so extra firepower was available. An arrow from the Doomslayer’s ballista lodged itself in one of the ponies and exploded. Caustic’s nox barrel was activated by a knife happy unicorn and the nerve gas made the unicorn and everyone around them crumple to the ground, incapacitated. Everyone’s firepower only incapacitated the enemy, since they were all holding back, hoping this was only a misunderstanding. Sebastian’s shockbolt chained ten unicorns, pegasi, and ponies and made them fall to the ground like Caustic’s nerve gas. “HELL YEAH!!! STILL GOT IT!!!” Sebastian yelled. BT was ultimately the one doing the most work since he was the biggest of the group and the one with a splitter rifle, set to stun of course, and cut down their lines with efficiency. “SAVE US EMPRESS!!!” The filly roared and shouted for her “Empress” and Mirage was about to laugh when the skies parted and a lavender unicorn with one black wing and one white wing descended from the skies. Everyone saw the atrocities she committed as the alicorn descended. She talked about it with pride and the remainders praised her for what she did… and it immediately infuriated them all. “CRUSH THEM TO DUST!!! LEAVE NOTHING LEFT!!!” Mirage yelled with an angry vigor. Suddenly they all set their weapons to kill and mowed the troops down. Even Lifeline was infuriated, as evidenced by the care package that crushed three of the alicorn’s troops and was packed with live explosives, which obviously exploded. The Doomslayer pulled out a Big Fucking Gun and fired a green ball of plasma at the army. As the ball cut through their ranks green tendrils of plasma reached out to the troops and made them explode. “YOU CANNOT RESIST HARMONY FOREVER!!!” Twilight Sparkle, the alicorn, yelled. “YOU WILL JOIN US IN HARMONY!!! AND THIS UNIVERSE WILL BE TRULY HARMONIOUS!!!” She then resurrected her dead troops and woke up her incapacitated ones, and sent them back at the group. They tried to hold them off but even with Gibraltar and Bangalore raining artillery, BT pairing up with Jack again, and Reaper doing a “Deathblossom” in the middle of the troops, they kept coming back, and it didn’t help that Twilight shielded her troops from the artillery fire from Gibraltar and Bangalore and retaliated by bringing her own. “WE HAVE TO FALL BACK!!!” Gibraltar said as he kicked a unicorn blasting at his shield at point blank. He ran out of ammo and moved in front of Bangalore and Pathfinder, both of who were having a hard time keeping the Pegasi away from the others and also keeping up fire. “AGREED!!! WE CANNOT FIGHT IN THIS CONDITION!!! WE’RE OUTNUMBERED AND OUTGUNNED!!!” Yelled Spartan-117 as he punched a earth pony trying to overpower him. “RETREAT!!! RETREAT!!!” “I GOT A PORTAL UP!!! LETS GO!!!” Wraith flagged everyone down and everyone went through the portal, even BT, despite his giant size. As they all went through the network of portals Wraith made Wraith cut off connections to the ones they just left to keep Twilight and her troops from following. Meanwhile Twilight Sparkle cut Wraith’s connections to the portals for her right as they were all in a portal, leaving them all trapped in the void with no way out. “GET US OUT WRAITH!!!” Yelled Bangalore. Wraith panicked as she tried to get the portal back up. “Guys.” She looked devastated as she looked at all of them. “I can’t get the portal back up… we’re stuck here.” Author's Note This is not official, the official sequel is out but no work has been done on it for a while, and since I was scarred by the original story, I decided to make this. Anyways hope you enjoyed, despite the chapter being short. Tell me if I made any spelling errors or if I have a typo. Thanks!
Chapter 2: The Red & DeadReaper stood on watch as the group of heroes, who were discussing the group name before passing out, slept under a tree in the void. “Amazing on how the void works… it emulates the real world but it’s tinged purple and is blotted by resonances of others that went though the void in the past…is there any other secrets the void is hiding?” Reaper wrote something down in a journal he manifested from thin air using the mist that made up his body, and closed it shut, the journal disappearing. He then shadow stepped far away from them and pulled out a reddish orange clay disc inside a glass box with mirrors on the inside. He placed it on the ground and let it do it’s thing. He pulled out the journal again… nothing. The disc wasn’t moving. “Weird… it usually moves until it runs into a mirror… but it isn’t moving… let’s try something else.” He then put on a deer skull with a tiny hole on the bottom after shrouding himself in darkness that would act as a fail safe…and it did the same thing as the disc… nothing. “So neither the Red Sea object, SCP-096 or the Wendigo Skull, SCP-323, work in the void… Oh the foundation is gonna have a field day with Wraith’s void running… wonder what other SCPs it neutralizes.” He put SCP-096 and SCP-323 back into the mist, and returned to the tree the group was sleeping under. He was about to sit down when 096 just jumped out of the mist. “So it delays it? Hope the wendigo-“ his hypothesis was dispelled when 096 rolled in a straight line. “What the hell?” He wrote a quick note and followed 096. The anomalous disc then jumped up and broke through something. It was a few feet from the group and in it was a black abyss. The disc jumped through the hole with the sound of glass breaking, waking the group up making them panic, and they did so until Wraith noticed the abyss SCP-096 jumped through. “Reaper what did you do?” She stared at the abyss in shock, as reaper explained what happened. Bangalore scorned Reaper as Wraith noticed the grass in the void swaying towards the hole to the abyss. “GUYS HOLD ONTO SOMETHING!!!” Everyone grabbed onto anything they could as the hole’s gravitational pull grew bigger and bigger. Then a tree flew past the group and fell into the void, as they noticed alongside its growth in gravitational pull and gravitational mass it was growing bigger. Soon everyone realized that they were going to be sucked into the abyssal black-hole, that Reaper by bringing SCP-096 into the void made, regardless of what they did. The ground gave out beneath them and they all flew towards the black hole. Pathfinder tried to grapple onto a mountain and hold everyone but a rock cut the line and they all fell in. Pinkie Pie was sobbing quietly, signaling to her friends to stop, and failing, until a reddish orange disc with weird inscriptions on it rolled into the middle of the fight between Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy and fell down. Soon after a tree hit the ground near Applejack and they all looked up to see multiple living organisms fall through a hole that lead to a Ponyville tinged by purple. The first to touch down was not a living organism but a metal giant with a living organism in it’s hand and inside of it. Then a living shadow followed by two smaller sized green armored Minotaurs and nine other Minotaurs that didn’t look like Minotaurs at all but humans. A ebony human with black hair and armor with a strange device on their shoulder opened their mouth and spoke fluent ponish. “OH GREAT JOB REAPER, NOW WE’RE IN LIMBO!!!” It was clear it was a female, and it was pissed at the living shadow. The living shadow, Reaper apparently, retorted by saying he didn’t know that the disc would do that. “BANGALORE, HOW THE HELL WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT THE RED SEA OBJECT WOULD SEND US TO LIMBO VIA BLACK HOLE!!!” After some bickering and connecting the dots with names and who they belong to, Fluttershy tackled Mirage to the ground trying to pummel him. “I HATE YOUR FACE!!! I HATE YOUR VOICE!!! I HATE YOUR NAME!!! I HAT THE WAY YOU WALK!!! I HATE HOW YOU ACT!!! I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!!!” Mirage just stared wide eyed at the butterscotch Pegasus mare and said nothing. Eventually she was pulled off of him after he sustained serious injuries. “Ok first we just met you guys. Second what’s her problem and what’s your names.” Mirage pointed at fluttershy and then gestured towards the others. “Third OWWWWWWW!!! OH I THINK SHE BROKE A RIB!!! I THINK SHE BROKE SOMETHING!!!” Lifeline immediately took care of him as the equines watched her D.O.C bot heal Mirage. “Thanks Lifeline.” “No problem, can’t have you dying in here.” Her D.O.C bot suddenly zoomed over to the mares and connected to all of them, fixing their wounds and shielding Rainbow’s flank from herself. “WIT CHA WHAT ARE YA DOING?!?!?!” After that pinkie gasped and rainbow groaned, growled, and tried biting at her mark to rip it off, which couldn’t happen thanks Lifeline’s D.O.C bot. “THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!” Pinkie Pie hugged the D.O.C bot. The bot hummed happily, as pinkie told the humans what happened to them, in chronological order of course. Caustic blanched at the mind warping Twilight Sparkle did to Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy. “That isn’t right. That just isn’t right.” Caustic held his head as he spoke, pale as a ghost. “That’s horrible, who would do that?!” “You.” Wraith said as the legends laughed. Caustic looked at Wraith as she saw the terror in his eyes… “wait… You’re serious… YOU EXPERIMENT ON PEOPLE WITH NERVE GASES!!!” “I NEVER WARP SOMEONE’S MIND TO THE POINT OF SUICIDE BY SELF CANNIBALISM!!!” That really struck a cord with Wraith, and she’s about to punch Caustic when a groaning is heard. A purple shambling humanoid appears in the smoke and is immediately shot by Bloodhound. “Ve hath to move if ve vant to live.” Everyone tensed up and got ready to run. As the did so, Fluttershy kicked SCP-096 and laughed. “Oops, sorry I kicked your to-“ 096 became active again and shot off. Wraith scolded Fluttershy as the rest of them started running after the Red Sea object. Soon the entire group was chasing the anomalous entity as it barreled past more of the shambling humanoids. It then ran through a mirror making it into a portal to the other side, this side was tinged red but they didn’t care.

Chapter 3: Unclean WattsOne Day Later… The city was abandoned, and through Pathfinder’s lens it was tinged purple. “Yeah this city was obviously evacuated, I can see signs of panicked citizens scrambling for the city square, and traces of airships having had landed in city square.” Bangalore said. “Thing I don’t understand though is why there are energy weapon scores on the sides of some of the cars and buildings.” Rainbow was slumped over the D.O.C bot, not injured but just being lazy. Whenever someone would ask for her to get off she’d bite them, and Octane nearly lost a finger that way. She mumbled as she then saw a giant beacon of light appear in the middle of the city. “Thing I don’t understand is why A. There’s a big beacon of light and B. WHY IS THIS CITY IS SO FLOCKING HUGE!!!” Nobody payed attention the outburst, rather focusing on the beacon. “We should probably find the source of that beacon.” Wraith said with determination. “and since this city is so huge it may take time to get there, so any guesses on what it may be?” “Ooh ooh I got one I got one!!!” Rainbow growled at Pinkie for her enthusiasm, but pinkie didn’t notice or if she did pay any mind. “What if it’s a new legend that’s coming in season 2 of apex Legends of July 2nd which is the author’s birthday!” “I liked you better when you DIDN’T speak…” Rainbow grumbled to herself. She blew her mane out of her eyes as they continued on. As they got closer to the origins of the beacon they had to go on top of the rooftops to get closer, due to the fact that faceless humanoids now populated the streets, causing a traffic jam of living organisms. Caustic also learned they weren’t affected by his nerve gas, and saw that some were shot with a whole spitfire clip’s worth of ammunition, indicating they could take a lot of hits before falling stone dead. It even took ten direct pointblank shots from the BFG9000 to kill one of them. As they got in view of the beacon’s origins it was the tallest tower in the city, scraping the skies with tiny floating bits of metal surrounding parts of it, giving it that futuristic feeling to it. Mirage whistled to himself as Pathfinder set up a zipline connecting the building they were on to a balcony on the skyscraper. “Quite amazing… hey Pathfinder that zipline up yet?” Pathfinder gave a thumbs up as the zipline finished setting up. “Who’s ready to fly on a zipline? I am!” Everyone then got on the zipline and were quickly brought to the building’s balcony. Gibraltar kicked the door down and they went inside. Soon using a combination of Rarity’s magic, Pinkie’s Pinkie sense, and Bloodhound’s Eye of the Allfather they located the origins to be on the bottom floor. They all got on the elevator, which was big enough for all of them, and pressed a button labeled ‘B13’ which was the lowest button on the elevator. Soon the elevator doors opened again to a humongous generator, with a force field around it.. and a blonde female standing on a platform looking at it. On the platform were screens that showed the machine’s status and it’s power consumption, alongside a schematic of it showing each part of it, and those part’s power consumption, what percentage of health they’re at, and what it’s doing. The female turned around to see the group and was shocked, pulling out a wingman and aiming it at them. “WHO ARE YOU?!?!?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?!?!” She looked afraid… frightened… mirage held his hands up and everyone followed his lead. He then introduced everyone to her and learned that her name was Natalie Wattson. She looked at Rainbow and ran through the force field and held rainbow close, who promptly tried to rip Wattson apart but failed. Wattson rushed over to Lifeline’s D.O.C bot and started tinkering with it. “I need a couple items, can someone get me a self revive knockdown shield? Can someone also get me an Executor body armor a level five helmet, and a level five backpack?” After a few minutes they came back with the required items and Wattson melded them to the D.O.C bot. “Alright Lifeline, your D.O.C bot should be able to revive others, take a bunch of hits, and with a few mods, be able to heal those that are mentally broken. Let’s start with Applejack.” The bot shot a beam at Applejack and Wattson asked her a few true or false questions. Applejack was then asked to lie and when she couldn’t Wattson was cheering. “I DID IT!!! I FIXED A WARPED MIND!!!” After Wattson tested Rarity for generosity, which she passed when she cried when Wattson told Rarity that her father died, and tested Fluttershy for kindness, which she also passed when she apologized to mirage for what happened in limbo, she was ready to help Rainbow. The D.O.C bot fixed her memories and Wattson tested for loyalty. “Alright Rainbow, your friends are in danger of dying again, you have the choice to save them and sacrifice yourself to save them or walk away and let them die. What do you do?” Wattson has her pad ready and was beaming at the prospect of helping Rainbow. Rainbow looked at Wattson and laughed. “Good you have loyalty-“ “I let them die.” At that Wattson dropped the notepad and pencil. “They did nothing for me, and even if my mark isn’t fake, they did way too much to hurt me.” She pointed at Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie as she spoke. “I can never trust them again… so don’t waste your time trying to save me… I’m too far gone…” she flew to a balcony and lied there as Wattson wipes the tears off her face and got up. “Not every test goes right, you messed up on your first forcefield so why is this any different Natalie?” She then went to pack up her stuff and was ready to go when a giant humanoid, with long arms and no bottom half of their body and a face with many holes in them crashed down and nearly grabbed Rainbow who flew out of the way. “Oh no… the unclean have arrived…” “What do you mean?” Mirage yelled as an elevator full of unclean opened up and they surged towards them. One grabbed AJ who bucked her captor in the face, staggering them. Wattson looked at the clock on the computer which then at that second ticked down to zero. As soon as it ticked down to zero, the forcefield fell and Wattson spoke “Our Times up…” Author's Note Yes this chapter introduces the new legend Wattson to the story, and the next one explores the secrets the dimension SCP-096 originated from has hidden beneath the surface… HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!!! You’re SOOO LUCKY THAT APEX LEGENDS IS STARTING SEASON 2 ON YOUR BIRTHDAY!!! JESUS PINKIE!!! You gave me a scare there. Never do that again!
