Eldritch Absolution

The three D-Class are in a bus on the way to the site where SCP-2662 is currently being held.

"Pfffft." Robert is bored and playing with Jordan's locks. "You've been quiet lately, Jojo."

"...Sorry. I'm just thinking." Jordan says.

Gene looks up from the debrief they've been assigned. "It seems we're going to meet what some would consider Cthulhu."

Robert slouches on the seat. "Don't we go insane if we stare at it or something?"

"They're probably going to test if I'm affected by it." Jordan says with venom. Hating the fact he's a Guinea pig now. The two look at him curiously. He explains his anomaly.

"What!? Man. How come you get to have all the cool shit?" Robert complains. Jordan glares at him. "I'm kidding!"

"You have my sympathy. Although I wonder why we're being sent as well." Gene says. 

"Maybe they're trying to get rid of us in the process." Robert says nonchalantly. They stay silent until they arrive at the site. 

A soldier is waiting for them. "Follow me." They say sternly. They walk towards a giant metal door with two guards posted. They nod and the door opens slowly. The stench of rotted food and fish strikes their nostrils. "Your duty is to clean the containment." The soldier hands them cleaning materials. The boys are uneasy, but they head inside. 

As soon as they enter, the door closes behind them. The room is large, with the walls having gaming and anime posters filled with some mysterious fluid. The floor is littered with bags of chips and empty bottles of soda. 

"Ah!" Robert rushes to the Jojo poster of the famous Jotaro and Star Platinum pose. "Who would defile such amazing art!?" 

"DON'T TOUCH THAT!" A booming voice shouts, making them jump in fear. They turn towards the end of the room. They walk and can see a thirteen foot humanoid figure sitting on a gaming chair. Its back has twenty cephalopods limbs doing ten things at the same time. It is currently playing Hearthstone on their gaming PC. "Are you the maids? My posters and Blu-rays are off limits." One of the limbs points at the collections of anime and manga on a cabinet.

"You're SCP-2662?" Jordan asks.

It frustratingly sighs. "I have a name, you know? It's Adgkoufgfg." Their mortal ears couldn't comprehend it. 

"This is supposed to be the mythical Cthulhu? To think the Eldritch Abomination itself was just bratty gamer." Robert says, shaking his head.

Gene is staring at it mumbling something in Latin. Robert slaps him. "Ouch! What was that for!?"

"Bringing you back to reality. Now let's get this over with." Robert grabs a garbage bag and starts picking up the trash. The other two sweep the floor. 

Newi crawls out of Jordan and yawns. "You're finally awake. Mind giving us a hand?" He asks. She groans but helps out. She notices the Sailor Moon figurine on top of the cabinet and quickly gets close to examine it. 

"Hey! I told y-" SCP-2662 stops when it notices Newi. Their hearts skip beats. It notices her staring back and coughs nervously. "A-Are you a fan?" She tilts her head curiously. "I-I have more if you like to see?" She nods excitedly. It opens the drawer to show off their other figurines and explains the entire series to her.

"Daaaw. That's so cute. Say, if she gets fucked in the ass, would you feel it too?" Robert smirks, while nudging Jordan.

"I don't know and I don't want to find out." He resumes the work. He looks up to see Gene staring at SCP-2662 intensely. He approaches him. "You good?"

"Huh? Y-Yeah. It's just crazy that it's real, you know? Kind of makes me question if God is even our true lord."

"Does it matter?" Gene looks at him surprised. "Even if it's proven that God is real, it won't change the way I live. I mean, Cthulhu exists. Cool. I still gotta pay my bills." They both laugh.

Suddenly, gunshots are heard from the other side of the exit. Everyone faces towards the door as it opens. Citizens enter with their bodies covered in blood, dragging the corpses of the guards with them. 

"Oh come on! Not this shit again!" SCP-2662 complains. 

"OooOoooaaaAuuiu~!" The crowd chants. A man in red robe steps forward with their arms spread open. "Oh Lord! We've come to save you from this prison!"

"Can't you people take a hint? Leave me alone! You're embarrassing me in front of her!" SCP-2662 covers their faces. 

"But my Lord. Your people are here for guidance. We've even brought you gifts." He claps. The others drop the bodies on the floor. 

Gene tries to keep himself from vomiting. "H-How did these people take down trained soldiers?"

"If I remember correctly, the paper said that the cultists would adapt with each attempt." Jordan explains.

"I see. So that's why we're here." Robert cracks his knuckles, getting ready for the inevitable fight.

Jordan and Robert step forward. The red robed man snaps his finger. "Brothers and sisters, eliminate them for our Lord's freedom!" 

The cultists rush towards them. The nearest one to Jordan tries to stab his gut, but he sidesteps, grabs their arm, snaps it with his leg and then punches their face. A cultist grabs him from behind, but he pries his arms free and elbows their face. Taking advantage of their dazed state, he grabs their collar and flings them among the rest. 

"Jordan!" Robert shouts, as he rolls on Jordan's back to kick at the cultist's face. Jordan finishes by kicking their torso. Jordan notices another dashing towards Robert's flank. He punches their gut, making gasp for air. Robert follows up with a roundhouse kick to the face. A cultist pulls out a gun and aims at Jordan. They shoot, but Newi flies in to block the bullet with her nails. Jordan runs at the gunman, while Newi covers him and mows down the oncoming crowd. Upon reaching the target, he uppercut their jaw, repeatedly punches their torso and then grabs their head to knee their face, breaking teeth in the process. 

As the fighting ensues, Gene is paralyzed with fear. "What are you standing there for? Do your job!" SCP-2662 yells at him.

"I-I c-can't…" Gene whimpers.

"For fuck sakes." SCP-2662 wraps its limbs around Gene's head. (Hm? This human's subconscious is locked for some reason.)

"W-W-What are you doing!?" Gene tries to free himself.

"Calm down! I'll just unlock it." It mumbles a chant as Gene screams in pain. Then he immediately becomes silent. He forcibly removes the limbs off him with great strength that surprises it. 

"Hehehe. HIIIIIHAHAHAHA!" He lets out a maniacal laugh, making everyone stop to look at him. "Aaaa~! It feels good to be back." He puts his hair back and unbuttons his shirt a little. Revealing a stylized Star of David on his chest.

The robed man gasps in horror. "No. It can't be! Y-You're the Tainted Crusader! Genesis!"

Genesis smirks. "In the flesh. I guess granpops sent the cattle to their slaughter." He kneels to take the military knife from the corpse. "If you wish to go to the gates of hell, I'll gladly be your guide! Starting with you." He points at the leader, as he runs towards the group with a sinister grin. 

Genesis slices and kicks the cultists blocking his path. He jumps on the bigger one and uses their height to pole dance and hit the surrounding mocks, ending it by snapping their neck with his thighs. As they fall, he uses their body as a springboard to land on another and stabs their neck. The cultists grab the weapons lying around. One of them charges with a katana and swings. Instead of dodging, he catches the blade with his teeth. He kicks his ear, then grabs the weapon and slices them. Their numbers dwindle, until it's only the leader left standing. He starts running away. Genesis tosses the knife in the air, jumps and kicks the hilt, sending it flying and hitting the back of his neck. He falls to the floor, bleeding to death. 

"May God give you a just judgment." He turns to face Jordan and Robert, who are flabbergasted by the carnage they witnessed. As he approaches them, they put their guard up. "Relax. I don't harm my fellow companions. Though I got to say, you both know how to handle a good battle." He chuckles.

Robert grasps Genesis's shoulders. "Gene! Are you there, man!? What did that son of a bitch do to you!?" He glares at SCP-2662.

"Don't look at me. He was already fucked in the head." It says nonchalantly.

Genesis pulls himself away. "It actually did me a favor. Breaking the hypnosis my granpops put on me." He rummages through the corpses to find a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. He lights a smoke. "As you heard, I'm known as the Tainted Crusader. That was because my pops wasn't too happy that I wasn't his good God fearing christian boy and didn't believe in the same cult as him. You should accept God out of love, not fear. So I beat the shit out of him and his supporters and left." He takes another smoke. "They still held a grudge, so my granpop kidnapped me and hypnotized me to become the person you used to know. As if that wasn't enough, they threw me in the slammer for a sin I couldn't remember. Heh. Some family."

"Jesus." Jordan says. Trying to process everything. "I won't deny your existence, but I kinda miss your old self."

"I'm still me. Just not a little bitch anymore." He winks at him. 

"Hey guys. You still have a job to do." SCP-2662 says. 

"Are you serious? This place is messier than it was before!?" Robert complains.

"Then you better get started. Now malady, where were we…" SCP-2662 has a pleasant conversation with Newi, as the guys remove the bodies in dismay.
