New Enemies Appeared, and... New Allies Made?(10)

The forces of the Hell Dimension were usually busy with their own work in the massive underground caverns of a forest, one of which is dividing a way to track down the Wonder of U, the one who stole the argent crystal in a more safer way in order to not become the victims of this calamity, based on the intel they had. However, attempts have failed so far.

If you're also wondering how they found out the Wonder of U's name, the Immorans hacked into the SCP Foundation's servers and after weeks of access to classify informations, they only managed to access a small number, most of which were no use, but one of them was the one that the Cyberdemon perfectly described, which was found on the SCP listing database and on how it looks.

A convening of the demons that lead the hell's forces is currently taking place. The three robed individuals from the Children of the Scarlet King faction were also present today, dressed in their usual red robes. 

"Is there nothing we can do?" Asked one of the robed individuals.

"For now, no. If we even try to do anything, we get hit by falling rocks, our ships malfunction, or our weapons mysteriously fired. Whoever this Wonder of U is, he is dangerous, and we will lose more of our troops at this rate." The Marauder said, "We still can't go after the crystal, but we will find a way. We just need an opportunity to arrive."

"You know, I just thought of the craziest thing. Why don't we start a hot spring business with your Stand, Fire Starter. Attract humans, get money, annihilate them, and then attract the locals in the hell dimension, get more money, and set up our company Revenant Corporation & team!" Revenant stated proudly.

Glaring at Revenant with an annoyed look, Marauder muttered, "...I am one second away from punching your damn head to another universe."

"Isn't that physically impossible?" 

"Why do I still hang around with you idiots?"

At that moment, an Immoran trooper approached the Marauder and said to him, "The weapon you asked to forge is ready, sir. Follow me."

The Marauder nodded and followed the trooper into one of the Hunter-class Hellships, entering a forging room inside to see Immoran troopers constructing, modifying and repairing argent-based weaponry. As he scanned around the place, the Marauder noticed a trooper approaching him and handing him a weapon. 

And that weapon was an Argent-fueled Sentinel Hammer.

[IMAGES]

"It wasn't easy to forge like the original models, but it's still as deadly and destructive as ever in its capabilities." The Immoran Trooper stated as he handed the weapon into him.

Marauder performs a few swings with the hammer and notices that it is perfectly balanced. Combining that with his Stand Firestarter and other weaponry in his disposal, he will be on equal footing with over ten Marauders and possibly surpassing Agent Thomas Green and his Stand Cerberus. 

"Our duel will happen once more, Thomas Green, and I will beat you."

On an unknown base at Scotland, the Boss, the one who has become the Stand D4C, was sitting on a chair and reading a book in his room, while Mariana, the one who had become Scary Monsters is currently in her human form, was sitting on a couch and looking at her boss with a bored look. 

"Boss, do you always read books when you have nothing to do?" She asked as she lay comfortably on the couch she sat on.

D4C merely nodded, "Yes."

"Do you do anything else?" 

"Collect the arrows and achieve control." 

"Yeah, we get that." Mariana tilted her head, "I mean you know, talk with us or something."

"Don't I always talk with you all?"

"Only when it involves our past and regarding the execution of your plans." Mariana sighs, "I'm talking about normal talk, normal conversation, mi amigo."

After a brief consideration, D4C concluded that she had a valid point, so he was about to say something until he was interrupted when Washichi, the Stand User of Machine Head, barged into the room.

"Boss, we have a problem."

"What sort of problem?"

"Remember that Stand Arrow we lost to the Chaos Insurgency in Ukraine and were planning to reclaim it back?"

"Yes, I'm well aware." D4C gently nodded, and added, "I intend to deploy you, Nicolas, and half of the members to raid their base in Alaska in the coming days, why do you ask?"

"I combed through the Chaos Insurgency's servers and communication and discovered they lost the arrow... to the foundation and Queen's Requiem."

"What!?"

This caused everyone in the room to widen their eyes, mostly Miranda, who was the one who had yelled.

As for D4C, he merely closed the book and leaned forward, "Killer Queen, you continue to surprise me. Even after our big fiasco at Site-17, you still move forward. Your iron will is impressive, and... is a threat as well." he muttered at the end. Casting a glance at Washichi, he asked, "Can you pull the same thing you did that day in Site-17?"

Washichi shook his head, "We can, but the foundation has added more security and warning measures to their systems, so hacking them again is gonna be an issue and very difficult, and they might track us instantly if the hack I try goes wrong."

"Hmm..." D4C went deep in thought briefly, for a couple of moments has passed, he said, "Alright Washichi, for now don't do anything beside on keeping track of what the Chaos Insurgency and the Global Occult Coalition could be planning, and if you're lucky with your hacking skills to the foundation as well."

"Hai." Washichi gave out a nod before turning around and departing the room.

Watching him leave, D4C whispers to himself, "The foundation won't fall for the same trick twice after the stunt we pulled at Site-17, so no doubt they will be prepared."

"So we're just going to sit around and wait for an opportunity to come to us? Is that what you want to say?" Asked Mariana.

"Believe me, Mariana. Opportunity tends to arrive in the most unexpected times, and when that time comes, we seize our opportunity and use it to our advantage."

Mariana smirked, "Whatever you say, boss."

In an abandoned mining tunnel in the forest regions of Canada, Whitesnake was browsing through the memory discs he extracted from the CI soldiers he mercilessly took out at their bases in the mountain regions to gain some information regarding the skeletal bone of Dio. But nothing, absolutely found nothing which agitated him even more.

Also, the other two humans who have become Stands that were working for him were casually chatting with each other behind him after they easily dealt with a number of CI Soldiers they faced were laying motionless in the surroundings around them.

"These people have nothing on them," Whitenake clicked his tongue, "Looks like we might have to move on to the Serpent Hand or the SCP foundation bases."

Going into deep thought, Whitesnake added, "But judging by the memory discs of the CI soldiers I also went through, they seemed to be focused on Site-17, and the Stands and the Stand arrows there. Three of those stands are Killer Queen, The World, and King Crimson, all time-bending Stands. So going to Site-17 is a death sentence but if we do it strategically we might possibly win, and if I take away their abilities and memories, then no one can stop me in my quest to attain Made in Heaven form."

Looking at the two Human Stands who were still chatting with each other, Whitenake yells, "Cut the chatter, you two! We are moving out." he said in a cold tone.

These two Stands with whom Whitesnake was talking were Jumpin' Jack Flash & Kraft Work 

[IMAGES]

"Alrighty then." Jumpin Jack Flash responded with a southern American accent.

"Aye mate." Kraft Work spoken with a British accent, gently nodding his head.

In an abandoned Chaos Insurgency Base in the middle of the Antarctica, Edward Richthofen, the one who has become Yellow Temperance and was in his human shape form, was wearing safety goggles and using a welder torch to build the argent-based weapons by utilizing the argent crystal, so that Frank Fontaine, the one who has become Wonder of U, could use them for business purposes. 

Currently, Edward was just casually humming as he was doing his work. Just then, the sound of footsteps can be heard, he turned around to find Frank Fontaine approaching him. 

"Can I help you mitt somezzingkt, Frank?" 

"Remember one of my guys who works at Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. and who I secretly placed there to give us some information regarding any useful items up for sale at their auctions?"

"Ja?"

Frank then pulled out a picture from his pocket and said, "He showed me one of the items from a photo that I showed to a new friend of mine, who is someone that had became a Stand told me this item has special properties and when he told me everything about it, I knew we hit the jackpot and this can be really useful."

"Just show ze photo, dummkopf."

Looking at Edward who gave him a deadpan expression, Frank showed him the photo of the item.

[IMAGES]

"A mask?" Edward raised an eyebrow, looking curiously at the photograph of the bizarre-looking mask.

"Yes, it is." Frank answered, lowering the photo in his hand and continued, "Auction is gonna happen in three weeks and hosted by Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd secretly, and with the amount of money we generated with the weapons, we can bid on it and we're  gonna buy it." 

"Or steal it?"

"If the situation demands it, then yes."

"Good to know." Edward acknowledged with a nod, "So vhat did your Human Stand ally tell you regarding its properties?" he asked.

"What about your thoughts on having a vampire army on our side?"

"...A what?"

– Unknown Location –

The realm of the Dark Aether, an infinite dimension that mirrors the real world in certain ways but with little distinctions. The dark aether realm had numerous massive jellyfish floating in the sky and countless dark aether crystals, both large and small, covering numerous regions of the realm or growing out of the ground like fungus, as well as an endless number of zombies, special zombies and other monstrosities roaming the infinite realm. 

Humans have visited this realm before, but would either get corrupted by the corruption that lies in the dark aether or die at the hands of the cosmic monsters that resided the world. In fact, the flow of time is a little different here while the sky was deep purple with a mix of blue to it. 

Two Manglers can be seen approaching a hundred-foot-tall entity that lacked any legs but had a torso, two arms, and a head. Its body was made entirely of pure dark aether that illuminated the world with a brilliant purple light, and it was flying in the air with dark aether crystals on various portions of its body. 

This powerhouse of an Elder God monstrosity was known as...

The Forsaken 

[IMAGES]

[What news do you bring to me, my komrades?] The Forsaken asked his minions with a deep and dark ominous voice, added with a Russian accent to it.

"Enemy. Resisted. Us." One of the Manglers responded.

"One. Smelled. Like. He.  From. Other. Universe." The other Mangler added.

[Is that so?]

"Da."

[Interesting, but it will not matter once my assault begins on this universe, and then slowly, I'll konquer the other universes as well as the infinite number of worlds within them, I will spare no quarter. The dark aether is infinite. It is undying. It kannot be stopped. They kannot stop me. They kan only deny... my arrival.]

"Like. Erik?" 

"Arc. The. Overseer?" 

"...the Tiny Dancing Enginee-"

[No! No! No! We do not talk about them. I've seen what they kan do, and... it ain't pretty. The third one is the worst one of all though.]

Then he began having sort of Vietnam-style flashbacks of his encounter with this set of individuals that went tragically wrong for him and his army before all those flashbacks ended. 

[But we're far from them, so we are good. Anyways, back to our kurrent effort of konquering this universe. We will konstantly send our forces as needed and weaken them to a point where they lose their resources and strength, but if they prove to be troublesome as well as a threat in my quest to konquer...]
