[Location: New York City

In an Apartment, 10 Years ago

2008]

The situation had gone on for far too long in the Mercer household, a neglectful and unstable father, a depressed mother, and an uncle who was the only one who barely kept the family alive. Two such family members were able to survive on their own, with the older sibling taking care of the younger. His name is Alex Mercer.

Born from a soon to be collapsed family. 10 year old Alex Mercer, brother to 7 year old Dana Mercer. Alex was always a kind brother to Dana, and tried to make she and himself happy. They would do things like watch horror movies together, play board games, and sing songs to lift their spirits, as well as comfort each other when nothing else could.

Whenever their uncle Josh came(their fathers side), they would always have a fun time. Josh being aware of Alex and Dana's situation would take them on outings to lift their spirits. Their uncle Josh in Alex's eyes was seen as more like a father than his own, with the three together they almost seemed like a happy family. However...as Alex had yet to realize, things can't always remain the same...of which he was soon to learn the hard way.

[Sat. 18th of August,

10:30 PM]

(A/N: I'm contemplating how I can fix this odd amalgam of fuckery without ruining the original story)

At that moment Alex and Dana were busy watching a supernatural show about a group of kids trying to escape from beasts and ghoulish creatures, they had been watching it from 8:45 PM to 10:30 PM when Alex had decided it was time for himself and his little sister Dana to sleep. Alex turned to Dana and spoke in a soft tone

"Dana, I think it's time to go to bed, its past 10"

(A/N: the show was fucking goosebumps, don't know why but that's what it was in the original story)

Dana turned to her brother and asked who would be tucking her in, Alex smiled and responded by saying their uncle Josh would

Dana then turned to Alex "will you be okay, Alex?" she asked

Alex looked at her with a puzzled expression "of course, Dana. what could happen to me? A monster coming into my room or something?"

Dana appeared embarrassed "I guess you're right"

Alex smiled and put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her close

"Come on, Dana. Let's brush our teeth"

As Dana and Alex walked to the bathroom, a mysterious unseen figure watched them as they headed into the bathroom. it resembled a being with a deer-like appearance with horns and hooves, having red skin in place of the typical deer fur, even odder was it seemed to have three eyes on both its left and right sides of its head. it focused those eyes on Alex. it stared at him until the bathroom door was closed, as soon as the door closed the figure melted into a red goo and disappeared. Seems Alex has some monster issues after all ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[Alex's Bedroom, 11 PM]

Alex slept peacefully, his mind thinking of the fun times he had with Dana and his uncle, he had smiled when seeing his sisters look of joy and his uncles approach. As he dreamt on he started to awaken to a strange noise.

'Thump' 'Splat' 'Squish'

It sounded like skin and something wet stepping on the ground, those same noises caused Alex to fully awaken from his sleep and memories. upon looking around he saw nothing. He got up and peered under his door, there looked to be a shadow approaching towards his door, however it didn't appear to be as normal shadow. it had horns like a deer, he immediately jumped up and hid under his covers as the sound of the door creaking open were heard.

Alex was now terrified for his life. He didn't know what this thing was or what it wanted. After a few minutes of hearing not a sound, Alex removed the covers to check if it had left. Instead he sat frozen in fear at what could only be described as a monster. It wore a cloak of red flesh, arms and legs poking out of it, a tail like a scorpion and hooves like a horse, three eyes on either side of its head, as well as one on its chest and one on each hand. The creature peered at Alex with a look of interest while tilting its head to the side.

Alex made an attempt to flee, however the creature lifted a bony finger and Alex felt his muscles and bones being constricted, making him helplessly immobile. Alex stared wide eyed at the hideous creature in front of him wondering as to the nature of his fate while also being scared shitless.

As Alex looked at the creature it reached a hand forward and clamped it over Alex's mouth. The creature then proceeded to reach into its fleshy cloak pulling out a black and reddish-orange orb with tendrils rising from it like smoke, it seemingly had bits of a metallic spikes protruding from it in various places as well. Alex, still terrified wondered what he should do. He was looking a the orb when the creature began speaking, it sounded like a sick person attempting to speak underwater

It spoke the following:

"Be reborn, Alex Mercer....Be reborn as the avatar of the Blacklight Virus...Be reborn as the child of Yaldaboth and become his creation of millennia."

After the creature was done speaking it slammed the orb into Alex's heart. Alex began struggling at this point. He felt as if every part of his body was on fire. He wanted to scream. He wanted to cry. Be wanted to shout for help. But the creature continued to firmly hold its hand over Alex's mouth. Preventing him from doing anything other than feeling the pain he felt now. Still unsure what he was supposed to do, he looked down at his body as it was being covered with orange and black tendrils, crawling from his heads all the way to his toes. He felt the tendrils bore into his skin as well as began feeling it start to fuse to him

(Alex inner panic)

"WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?!?! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!"

After a minute or so the excruciating pain finally subsided and he no longer felt the pain he did a moment ago. The tendrils had disappeared as well as the creatures hand from his face, allowing him to breathe easier. He no longer felt his muscles and bones constricted either allowing him to move freely, he turned to the creature only for it to have vanished. He laid down still in a panic but let his drowsiness take over and fell into a deep sleep while trying to forget everything that just happened.

[Sat. 25th of August, 8 AM]

How unlucky could Alex get? Somehow he had gotten sick, forced to rely on his uncle and sister as they wore gloves and masks for their protection. His mother barely stopped by and his father only did to insult him. However this was the night everything changed.

(A/N: I'm just guessing here but I'm pretty sure Alex made a conscious decision to try to blot out what happened previously to cope, I don't really know)

[9:30 PM]

Alex was in bed reading a children's novel when he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in" he said

The door opened to reveal his uncle and sister's smiling faces.

"Hey kid, how're you doing?" His uncle asked in a kind voice

"Pretty great actually, I'm feeling a little better than usual, I think my sickness is going away" Alex replied

Dana beamed at those words "That's great Alex! I think you'll be okay in a few days, then we can get back to how things used to be"

Alex chuckled at his sister "Yeah Dana, hopefully"

"Alex can I talk to you for a moment with Dana about something?" his uncle asked

"Sure what is it, uncle Josh?" Alex replied

Josh then sat on the edge of Alex's bed and spoke something he'd been mulling over

"Alex, you've done a fantastic job at taking care of Dana. You're still brave even in the fact your parents want nothing to do with you. You've always looked out for your sister, I'm proud to have you as a nephew"

Alex stared wide eyed at his uncle for a moment before a genuine smile spread across his face

"Thanks uncle, it means a lot" Alex said still smiling

"Anytime champ, anytime" Josh grinned

Alex and Dana then hugged their uncle, who returned the gesture. However not long after they started hearing shouting coming from outside the room. It was their father. He could also hear his mother attempting to calm him down.

Josh got up and walked to the door, he looked back at Alex and Dana before sighing and said "I'll go see what's going on, stay here you two"

Both children nodded and Josh rushed out closing the door behind him.

For a moment, nothing happened, when all of a sudden...

'BANG!'

"AGH!"

"JOSH!"

Both Alex and Dana jumped in fear, worried about their uncle, they immediately ran out and looked downstairs to see their uncle with a whole in his chest. They immediately rushed to his side.

"UNCLE!!"

"UNCLE JOSH!!!"

Alex and Dana bent down on their knees attempting to staunch the bleeding, but the damage was already done and nothing could be done to stop the bleeding. As he lay there dying he reached up cupping their faces comfortingly before his hand suddenly dropped to the ground and his heart stopped.

Dana and Alex looked at their now dead uncle with tears in their eyes and a heavy heart, in the next moment they heard a slap. Alex looked his father, his face filled with cruelty and insanity. His hands holding a shotgun.

"You were always weak, I shouldn't have stuck around. I should have left for something much better than this sad excuse of a family"

(A/N: having a difficult time rewriting this, I'll probably update it later)

Alex stared at his father with sadness and confusion

"No..."

"Perhaps I will start with you Alex, since you failed to stop me first" his father said directing the barrel of the gun at him

"Don't do this, please! Don't hurt my child!" Their mother finally found her voice and attempted to get him to lower the gun.

Their father laughed coldly "And yet he's only yours. I'll kill you last for my amusement"

Dana suddenly screamed out in terror at something else happening around them

The mother and father turned their heads and looked at Alex, he had suddenly grown black appendages from his shoulders, which then grew down to his elbows, then his hands.

Alex clenched his hands, the black mass covered his fists, which grew had grown four silver blades on his hand,three fingers and one thumb, they grew up to two feet as Alex held them up in fear with his family looking at him in shock, his arms then began glowing orange as Alex spread his arms wide and roared loudly in a mixture of fear, confusion, and rage.

"RAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!"

"ALEX!!!!"

Unknowingly Alex had rushed forward and stabbed his father gut deep, his father coughed blood and looked into his sons eyes

(A/N: hahahahahha get rekt fuckwad)

Alex coming to his senses let go of his father

"Alex..." his mother whispered

He turned and saw his mother and sister looking at him with fear and apprehension

"Wh-what are you?"

Alex's eyes widened as his looked down as his claws. Feeling ashamed of himself. Unable to live there any longer, he jumped high and created a hole in the ceiling.

[SCP Laboratory 10 years later, 2018]

The SCP laboratory had requested task force Red Right Hand to aid them in finding an SCP now classified as SCP-6000-1. He was said to resemble a human with bluish gray eyes, a gray hoodie and black jacket with red wings visible on his back. He was believed to be somewhere in the red zone in New York City, which had fallen victim to a Black Plague, which set bombs to seperate N.Y.C to prevent the Black Plague disaster from happening again. Now it seemed SCP-6000-1 had spread the virus now known as SCP-6000 and some creatures that, thankfully can't be seen by people. Little did they know, they would soon have bigger problems on their hands.

Within the facility there was a chamber labeled 682. Within it, a growl could be heard as the ground shook. A dent slowly began to be shown in the wall....
