"Pfft hahaha! The contrast between his earlier rampage and his sudden interest in these puppies is so hilarious"!
"Oh My God! He's just a big teddy bear. I wanna give him a hug"!
"Maybe bring a puppy or two if you're going to do that".
"Woah! He transformed into a nerdy looking dude"!
"Hey! I've seen this guy before, at the Culver University".
"So…. Are those puppies like his kryptonite? Because that….. would be hilarious".
…
New York. Military Base.
Looking at the light curtain, General Ross fell into doubt. He had spent a considerable amount of time and resources to try and capture the Hulk. But this foundation just throws a few puppies at him and he's neutralized?
"No, clearly there's something anomalous about these puppies"! Ross shook his head as if nodding to himself, convinced that might be the case.
"No matter. We have the place surrounded. Since this Foundation has no interest in Banner, we'll proceed with our objective".
Suddenly, a young soldier rushed into the command centre. With a salute, he spoke with a nervous tone. "Sir, the team lost track of Banner".
"WHAT"!!!….
...
Meanwhile, in Asgard.
Loki stared at the images on the Light Curtain as his eyelids twitched.
"You're kidding, right? This Cain's abilities are too terrifying. Forget attacking him, his presence alone could turn Asgard into an apocalypse".
"Perhaps I shouldn't be in such a haste to travel to Midgard. Who knows how powerful the first ranked anomaly could be".
"If I do go, then I'll just bring that muscle headed brute with me. And of course, Gungnir. Father should still be in his Odin sleep for a while longer".
...
SCP Foundation. Site-17.
Luther was quite pleased with the results of the containment. SCP 073 was an incredibly useful asset. And the plan to calm the Hulk was something he saw in a comic once. He wasn't sure at first but he was glad it worked.
He's only received a few Foundation personnel like regular Agents, researchers and Site-17 from his system. Besides the Anomalies that have manifested due to being inventoried, there were no other anomalies.
However, his Exposure Points(EP) have now reached a certain threshold, pushing his System to Level 2. Even though he hasn't yet finished the first inventory, he can now receive all the rewards for the previous inventoried anomalies.
So… he decided to open up his System.
…
[Congratulations! Special Containment-073. Cain. Successfully contained.]
[Earned 112,642 Exposure points.]
[Total Exposure points: 1,032,446.]
[System Updated to Level 2.]
Luther ignored the details of the update as he clicked to confirm on the reward section.
[ Congratulations! You have successfully obtained the following anomalous characteristics; 'Instantaneous Teleportation', 'Physical Indestructibility', 'Self Duplication', 'Regeneration', 'Biological Immortality', 'Pain Immunity', 'Death Touch', 'Necromancy', 'Sound Absorption', 'Damage Reflection', 'Mental Domination'. 'Portal Creation'. ]
[Bonus Reward: SCP 999. The Tickle Monster!]
Hearing the system notification echo in his mind, Luther couldn't help but smile at this unexpected additional reward.
SCP-999 — The Tickle Monster. A harmless Anomalous Entity.
Suddenly, a mass of orange, viscous like Creature appeared before Luther.
At the top of its gelatinous body was an adorable smiling face, accompanied by two small tentacle like hands extending from either side.
It looked… incredibly cute.
The moment it spotted Luther, the Tickle Monster immediately wriggled toward him, wrapping its two tentacle like arms around his legs in an affectionate embrace.
"Googoogoo~!"
A cheerful, pleasant sound escaped its body. Luther couldn't help but smile even wider.
SCP-999 was an exceptionally special entity among all the anomalous objects documented by the Foundation.
Unlike most anomalous entities, it possessed an extraordinary amount of kindness towards all living beings.
Through physical contact alone, it could induce overwhelming feelings of happiness and emotional well-being in anyone who touched it.
And what's more, regardless of how much pain or emotional distress someone had experienced, contact with SCP-999 could heal their wounds and fill them with an almost unconditional optimism about life and the future.
However… One shouldn't be fooled by the Tickle Monster's adorable appearance, or its incredibly friendly personality. The truth behind its origin was far more terrifying.
It was said to be the offspring of a supreme divinity.
Luther shook his head, putting those thoughts aside for now. It was time to prepare for the next Anomalous Containment Inventory.
The Entity he intended to feature in the upcoming number-one entry was undoubtedly one of the Foundation's most famous and well-known Anomalous Entity. Even Luther was curious to see what kind of reaction this particular inventory would provoke.
After all, in this Marvel universe, one could only imagine what would happened when the Foundation's most extraordinary anomalies crossed paths with the heroes and villains of this world.
SHIELD Headquarters.
SHIELD Agents were working overtime organizing and reviewing all the new information they had gathered from the previous events.
The battle between the Hulk and Cain had been absolutely astonishing. In particular, they had finally discovered how far Hulk's rage could propel him in strength.
Nick Fury stared intently at the replay of the battle that had just been recorded. After a moment, he spoke with a bit of interest.
"The Hulk's physical strength appears to increase in proportion to his anger. Based on what we've observed so far, his current known upper limit is a body size of approximately Four Meters tall and strength that's at least twice that of what he'd shown before."
Some the Agents exchanged bewildered glances. "His anger could actually increase both his strength and size? How is that even scientifically possible?" That conclusion practically threw the laws of physics and biology out the window.
However, the Hulk's creation in itself was quite unscientific. Gamma radiation could destroy all living tissue by breaking chemical bonds at the cellular level. In hindsight, getting stronger the angrier he got didn't seem all that surprising.
Fury turned his attention back to the light curtain.
The inventory of Cain, the second-ranked anomalous containment object, had finally come to an end. Which meant that the next entry would be the final one.
He had no idea what kind of terrifying entity would appear in the final inventory video. But one thing was certain… Once the final entry was revealed, he would finally be able to take a breather.
"Whatever it is, as long as this final inventory is completed, I should be able to put my mind at ease." Fury thought to himself.
And at that very moment! The previously dark light curtain suddenly flickered. New information began appearing on its surface!
…
[Inventory of the Foundation's Top Ten Anomalous Containments!]
[First place!]
…..
Seeing this latest piece of information, Nick Fury's heart raced a little faster. Even knowing this was coming, he had no idea what level of danger this next anomaly would bring.
"Have all Agents suspend their current operations and remain on standby! I want everyone ready to mobilize at a moment's notice!"
"Yes, sir!"
...
Kamar-Taj.
"So, we've finally reached the number one Anomalous Contained object." The Ancient One stared at the light curtain, a hint of weariness crossing her face. After all, the previous Anomalous Contained Object, SCP 035—the Possessive Mask—had left deep impression on her. And now, they were about to unveil an Anomalous Entity ranked even higher than the Possessive Mask and Cain.
...
Meanwhile, across the internet, people reacted with quite the anticipation.
…
"Oh My God! We're finally getting the number one Anomalous Entity! I can't wait to find out what it is!"
…
"Don't forget that these creatures appear randomly. What if it appears right in your bedroom. Or God forbid it pops right out of you toilet while your busy!"
…
"What kind of fucked up thought process do you have?"
…
"Damn… Is there a possibility that this next anomaly is SCP-682, the one that was mentioned earlier? The Indestructible lizard?"
…
"Actually, that makes perfect sense! Besides SCP-682, who else could possibly deserve the number one spot?"
…
"But what about SCP-343? Isn't he literally God? Are you saying he doesn't even qualify?"
…
"God? You think being called God makes him the most terrifying? SCP-096 was terrified after its encounter with SCP-682! But that so-called GOD couldn't even stop SCP-096!"
…..
"Exactly! Based on everything we've learned so far, SCP-682 is undoubtedly the most powerful Anomaly we've heard of!"
...
Around the world, virtually everyone's attention was fixed on the light curtain.
[First Place — Special Containment -682! Hard-to-Destroy Reptile!]
[Object Class: Keter!]
