Inside the tank floating in liquid is a body that's one think of when they think of an Amazon. The toned, slender body with supple power. Her large breasts defied gravity, her long abdomen rippled with muscles, her long legs stepping with the grace of ballerina but the strength of a bear as did her muscular arms. She is as graceful and athletic as any gymnast. Muscles that are like steel springs, just ready to spring into action, powerful but not enough to slow her down, and at her perk.

"This body is the one that everyone is using as the standard base for all the other bodies?" Horror Master ask looking at the clone body of her that has been upgrade using bioengineering pulled from any different worlds.

"Yes all the other bodies are using this as a base for all of their models," Ridley said.

"A strong foundation to build from," Horror Master said as she has seen the data of her body and what needed to be improved on and what needed to be fixed. She made sure she would still look like herself but just improved. After all why shouldn't she make sure that her new body is better than her old one. (1)

"So are you going to be switching bodies now and then, like Iron Man with his suits?" Ridley ask.

"Yes, that way I'll be able to enjoy a number of abilities that other forms don't have," Horror Master said.

"There is the watch thing that Doctor Valdez is working on SCP-2099," Ridley said.

"A Ben 10 watch? That sounds useful," Horror Master said taking her leave to see what the other factions have come up with.

The Cafeteria -

In the cafeteria the fallout of the mutant chickens is still being felt, where thanks to Doctor Bright creating mutant chickens, the entire site of 51 became infested with chicken. After Ridley finally found him and after he needed a new clone body, he went and fixed the mess he made. Namely he got all the werebeasts who are meat eaters to come and hunt down the chickens.

Now Site 51 is fully stocked with chickens and all kinds of chicken dishes are on the menu. The werebeasts and other beast people have been coming to the site to feast on the chicken dishes. Which the site needs to do as they need to get rid of all the chicken bodies and even with them shipping them to the other places that's under Horror Master's control, there are still lots of chickens.

Molly walking into the cafeteria saw the were-thylacines from Howling III: The Marsupials shattered around the room. Werecats and werewolves from many different series, from the Universal Classic to more modern ones. There are also Kitsunes and Tanukis around the room, Molly frowns seeing SCP-953 who is a kumiho. Horror Master is giving her a chance but does have a magic necklace place on her, like Inuyasha to keep her on a tight lease.

Molly walk to the counter where she saw Bright being force to work with the robot cooks.

"So how long are you going to working the counter?" Molly ask.

"Till all the chickens are gone," Bright said.

Dunwall Tower -

Ever since the dry moat was filled with water to turn it into a swamp, and filled with giant amphibians, crustaceans, gators that can walk on two legs, there's also a giant crocodile with a poison gas spewing mushroom growing out of its back in the swamp. Getting to Castle Chaythe is now a death trap for anyone who tries to enter the pit. Which teams and spies have tried to enter to get information but few have managed to get through the death swamp and the ones who actually are able to get into the castle have never come out.

Coil has used many different timelines trying to find a way to get information out and all the timelines have failed. There are many parties who would pay a high price for any information on any of Horror Master's assets. He's been looking into getting information on Dunwall Tower, which protects the only bridge to the castle.

Coil has managed to learn that below the tower in the swamp there's a small outpost built just below the bridge. He had hope that it would lead to the castle but found that it's just where new monsters are unloaded into the swamp. The outpost is like a large boat dock but has a slide that ends above a deep part of the swamp. Watching the outpost, every now and then the large dry dock is filled with water and the creatures for the swamp, the dry dock door is raised up sending the water going down the slide with the creatures with it, into the deep part of the swamp where they swim away.

The ones running the outpost is the Gillman from the Black Lagoon and others like him, with a host of those turtle mirelurks. Coil has discovered small villages where monsters that like the swamp live, with the turtle mirelurks obeying them. He also saw Moreau who now looks like a frog man then what he looked like before in the outpost. There's elevators that go up to the tower and a network of underground rooms that Coil is guessing leads up to the inside of the tower too.

The outpost would be a good way to enter the tower, but it's heavily protected by turrets and said monsters guarding it. There are also plenty of those eyebots and Mr. Handy's floating around the area. And there's the fact that the door is always sealed shut, with it only opening when new swamp creatures are poured into the swamp. Or fishes and other creatures that are food for said creatures of the swamp.

Coil did notice that when the doors are close there are plenty of those monster crabs and shrimps around the outpost. Then he notice that there's a waste chute on the side of the outpost that opens and dumps what looks like food waste into the swamp. The food waste is what's attracted the scavengers to the outpost, as many animals would never pass an easy meal.

Using a drone, Coil waited for the chute to open and as chunks of meat and bones are dropping from the chute, the drone went up the opening. Flying up the pipe as the chute door closed the drone flew out of of a cess pit where the food waste would be collected before being dump into the swamp. The room is a small one with the cess pit being no bigger than a hot tub, which would allow anyone who lost something in the trash a last chance to get it before it's dump into the swamp.

The door of the room is open with a man who is a vampire from the Twilight series emptying out the organic waste carts. The carts are place underneath 4 chutes coming from the tower up above. The Twilight vampires are the lowest ranking minions of Horror Master forces, as she hates their series. Coil had the drone go up the chute while the vampire was distracted by a chute that has chucks coming down.

The 4 chutes are connected to different rooms of the tower, each one labeled so anyone can find the cart the chute is connected to if they lost something. One is connected to the laboratory of the tower where parts of their experiments are toss down. The other chute is the brewery where Fernand the one in charge of the tower brews his own drink, a Gargle Blaster that like from that Hitchhikers Guide series, is nowhere safe for most people to drink. The reason for the chute is all the bodies of animals, from snakes, to worms that are used in the brew, which Horror Master had to bring back many of her minions who tried drinking the stuff.

The other chute is where SCP-4158 or Big Charlie is kept in an underground pen. SCP-4158 is a bovine-esque creature measuring 3.4 meters tall and 5 meters long at the time of writing. Its skin is thin, appearing translucent and ripping easily. SCP-4158 is partially blind and has a bulbous head that lacks the features of a bovine of which it shares an alleged lineage. SCP-4158 is sentient and docile, not acknowledging personnel during feeding or cleaning of its cell. SCP-4158 does not produce excrement. SCP-4158 is constantly growing in size and weight. As such, excess mass must be sheared off every week. The meat produced by SCP-4158 is USDA Utility Grade beef and has shown no anomalous properties.

The last one is the kitchen which Coil sent the drone up while the vampire was watching as unwanted parts of chucks of Charlie is kept. Once the drone pop out in the kitchen Coil move it to the top of a shelf to get the layout of the room. A huge black metal cauldron that's big enough for an adult to be inside of, is on top of a large electric stove, looking very out of place for the setting.

Chopping away at slabs of meat Coil recognizes them as the two hulking cannibals who operate a large kitchen in the Dark Souls game, the butchers. Both of them are wielding oversized butcher's cleavers, showing skill with them as they chop the meat. Both wearing aprons and sacks on their heads, unlike the man like figures they had in the game both are still hulking but are still recognizable as females.

There is also Meat Katie who in House of the Dead, Katie was once an ordinary woman who worked at meat plant as a butcher, located on the outskirts of Bayou City. Either due to vast mutation from Formula X or experimentation by Papa Caesar. Katie was turned into a hulking human-cow hybrid called Meat Katie. Who has a a cow's skull for a head and cow udders on her belly. Like the two Butchers she is now more human female looking and is now a female minator with a human head with cow horns and losing the udder on her belly.

The 3 butchers are chopping the slabs of meat into smaller chunks, tossing the unwanted parts into buckets to be emptied out into the waste chute later. A door open and one of those pig men with a buzzsaw replacing his left hand enter with more meat on a push cart.

The one stirring the pot with a giant ladle is the head cook Hildred. She and her husband Percival work in the tower, her the cook and him as Fernand's tailor. She's pouring cups of spices into the slowly heating water, making a broth for the rest of the ingredients. Pouring lots of ghost peppers into the boiling cauldron, which were cut up by the Mr. Handy cook who is slicing the vegetables into small bits. She's also tossing in live cat size crabs and lobsters into the boiling pot, along with skinned snakes and hand size spiders, followed by bowls of beaten eggs. (2)

Coil couldn't help but wonder what the stew would taste like once it's finish. The Duke from the Resident Evil game has open a restaurant in Trolberg, and has quickly become very popular thanks to the supreme meals that he creates when he's cooking. Coil tried the food the Duke creates and like in the game gives a huge boost to one's health but not permeant as he points out that's only for gameplay and that the entire game only last a couple of hours in the game. Even then there is a long wait list for the days when the Duke is the one doing the cooking.

Coil looking around the kitchen saw there are more cooks in the large kitchen cooking their own dishes, some being the robot cooks. There's a large electric oven where a whole pig is being cook on a spit, massive kettle where one of those mirelurks is being boiled, a giant egg being fried. All the food being cooked is making Coil hungry but he shakes it off as he needs to get the drone out of the room without anyone noticing him.

A frogman came in the kitchen holding a dog size cockroach that's still alive. Causing a female cook to scream causing a scene as the frogman explain he's going to be cooking the cockroach for the feast. While that was happening Coil used the distraction to fly the drone out of the kitchen.

Only for the frogman to see the drone and thinking it's a bug, shoots out his tongue and eats the drone.

Coil's Base -

Coil frowns seeing the signal from the drone being cut off after something happen to it. Coil let that timeline fade away and looks at the controls of the drone as he flys it around the outpost. That time he managed to get it into the kitchen after failing with the other chutes. The other rooms have their own problems and security in them, the kitchen is the less secured room thanks to the fact lots of people are busy in it all the time. The other rooms have motion detectors or something that cause an alert once the drone enters or have cameras in them. The only other room that's doesn't have lots of security is the room with Big Charlie but does have robots in it that detected the drone.

Coil just has to keep on replaying the timeline till he gets it right and learns as much as he can about the tower. The castle after hundreds of timelines of him using the drone, just ended in failure and him being visited by one of Horror Master's minions in some where he did managed to get the drone inside but it's always cut short. The tower is the only one that doesn't have the minions coming for him, which does point to that with the castle being so heavily guarded is where Horror Master is hold up in.

Not that it helps him as any transmissions are quickly detected and followed to the source. No one has seen Horror Master since the endbringer last attack and that wasn't even a fight, it was a one sided slaughter as she just summon a Lovecraft horror to finish the fight, before it could even start. Like a fight where someone just pulls out a gun and shoots the other guy. Making her a nightmare, as she can just summon something horrible at anytime and anywhere she wants.

'The only way to deal with her is to kill her before she knows what happen. But the timelines where that happens she just comes back the very next day like nothing ever happen. Just like so many of her minions,' Coilsaid thinking of the timelines that he was force to do with that woman.

Those timelines showed him what not to do in dealing with Horror Master and her minions. He just has to play in the shadows and not make himself a target and he'll be fine.

"Just have to keep low and let others get her attention," Coil said to himself.

Nightmare Realm -

Bill Cipher watch the supervillain Coil at work gathering information about the Dunwell Tower. Thanks to him being a higher level being he exists on a plain of reality that allows him to remember everything. All the different timelines that Coil created, which Bill copied as something that he could use later. He has lots of work to do once The Warrior makes his move, he has lots of plans for Horror Master.

Bill doesn't care if he does have to obey Horror Master and serve her for the rest of her life. He's already over trillions of years old and Horror Master he knows he will outlive. Or maybe be still serving her which so far he doesn't mind as she's a rather nice boss who does see him as a friend. He's free from his dying and decaying universe, with the entire multiverse at his fingers with no extradimensional law enforcements in this part of the multiverse around. He does have to be careful not to go wild or they will notice him and come after him, again. He just have to play it smart and limit himself, so that what happen with his home dimension wouldn't happen again.

Bill open a portal showing Horror Master in her room of bodies the other minions have created for her. Each one having their own advantages and disadvantages, each being like a suit for her to wear and if destroyed she can just transfer her mind to another. As long as her real body is safe she can just use another avatar, thanks to making sure that destroying the avatar also kills the user bullcrap. The way she's controlling her avatars are more like a gamer controlling a game character in a game with a controller and no way connected to their game character in anyway that would actually harm the player if killed.

"There's plenty of time to help her to become a true master of horror," Bill said to himself his mind full of plans to help his master to become a true Horror Master.

1 - Admit it if you could have a way to make yourself a new body with no side effects, you would make some improvements.

2 - Ravenous Devils a horror cooking game.
