Introduction
In the secretive world of the SCP Foundation, there exists a creature known as SCP-682 - The Hard To Destroy Reptile. Over the years, numerous attempts have been made to terminate this misanthropic lizard, but all efforts have ended in failure. Recently, a new experiment involving a mysterious object called SCP-272 and a high-powered disco ball seemed promising, but once again, SCP-682 proved its resilience. Frustrated by these setbacks, Dr. Samet, a greenhorn researcher with big ambitions, hatches a plan to recruit the help of the living legend, Dr. Jack Bright. Little do they know, their Journey will take them into uncharted territory and force them to confront unimaginable horrors.
Failed attempts to execute SCP-682
Since its discovery, SCP-682 has become one of the most challenging anomalies to contain and terminate. The reptile possesses an uncanny ability to adapt and survive, making it nearly impossible to destroy through conventional means. Countless experiments have been conducted, ranging from exposing SCP-682 to extreme temperatures to subjecting it to acid immersion. However, each attempt has proven unsuccessful, leaving the SCP Foundation in a constant state of frustration and defeat.
The introduction of SCP-272
In the midst of the ongoing struggle with SCP-682, a new anomaly known as SCP-272 was discovered. This object, an old iron nail, possessed a unique ability to Pin people's shadows to the ground and tear them apart when different configurations of light were introduced. Researchers saw this as a potential weapon against SCP-682 since its shadow played a crucial role in its survival. If they could disrupt or manipulate its shadow, they believed they could gain the upper HAND in terminating the creature once and for all.
The failed attempt with the disco ball
With high hopes for SCP-272, the SCP Foundation devised an experiment that involved combining the power of the nail with a high-powered disco ball. The disco ball emitted intense light, causing SCP-682's shadow to go haywire. The initial tests showed promise, as the creature's movements became erratic and unpredictable. However, just when it seemed like success was within reach, SCP-682 adapted once again. Its body evolved with an intense bioluminescence, overpowering all other light sources in the room and rendering the disco ball useless. Furthermore, several D-Class personnel were blinded during the testing, resulting in another failure for the Foundation.
Dr. Samet's ambitions and plan
Dr. Samet, a young and ambitious researcher within the SCP Foundation, had dreams of climbing the corporate ladder. He believed that successfully terminating SCP-682 would be his ticket to success and recognition within the organization. Driven by his own selfish desires, he sought every opportunity to cozy up to higher-ups and gain their favor. His ultimate goal was to secure a seat at the O5 Council, the highest decision-making body within the Foundation. With this in mind, he devised a plan that involved enlisting the help of Dr. Jack Bright, an esteemed and enigmatic figure within the SCP community.
Enlisting the help of Dr. Jack Bright
Recognizing the need for a go-between to approach SCP-343, the divine arbiter contained within Site 17, Dr. Samet turned to Dr. Jack Bright for assistance. Dr. Bright, a living legend within the Foundation, was known for his various exploits and his connection to the anomalous SCP-963 medallion. This medallion, which kept Dr. Bright alive, had the power to transfer his consciousness into the bodies of others upon touch. Dr. Samet believed that by leveraging Dr. Bright's anomalous abilities, they could gain the Attention and assistance of SCP-343 in their Quest to terminate SCP-682.
The plan to recruit SCP-343
With Dr. Bright's help, Dr. Samet formulated a plan to convince SCP-343, the presumed deity contained within Site 17, to assist in their mission. Dr. Bright knew that he lacked the standing to directly address SCP-343, so they would need to find someone with both tenure and respect from both SCP Foundation staff and the anomalies they governed. Dr. Bright proposed enlisting the help of his past victims, individuals whose bodies he had previously inhabited. These victims, armed with knowledge of Dr. Bright's exploits, could potentially convince SCP-343 to join their cause.
The true nature of Dr. Bright's medallion
As Dr. Samet delved deeper into the world of Dr. Jack Bright, he uncovered the truth behind the SCP-963 medallion that kept him alive. The medallion acted as a curse, condemning Dr. Bright to watch everyone he knew and loved age and die while depriving him of the same release. Although the exact nature of the medallion remained a touchy subject, it was believed to contain Dr. Bright's soul and forced him to inhabit the bodies of those who touched it. With this newfound knowledge, Dr. Samet began to understand the immense burden Dr. Bright carried and the risks involved in their plan to terminate SCP-682.
The cross test and unexpected outcome
With preparations in place, Dr. Bright and Dr. Samet conducted a cross test involving SCP-343 and SCP-682. However, they kept the true nature of the test Hidden from SCP-343, as well as the fact that Dr. Bright was expected to terminate SCP-682. As the two entities were released into the chamber, chaos ensued. SCP-682 attacked, attempting to breach containment, while SCP-343 appeared confused and unable to perceive its surroundings. When commanded to kill SCP-682, SCP-343 refused, stating that the creature did not belong to him. This unexpected outcome left Dr. Samet shocked and furious, as their plan had once again failed.
Dr. Bright's new reality and battle within
In the aftermath of their failed attempt, Dr. Samet looked to Dr. Bright for a solution. It was decided that Dr. Bright himself would face off against SCP-682 in lieu of SCP-343. Dr. Bright accepted this daunting task, fully aware of the slim chances of success. Perhaps, in a twisted turn of fate, he would meet his end at the hands of SCP-682. However, their plan took an unexpected turn when Dr. Bright woke up in a strange new place, surrounded by familiar faces – the victims whose bodies he had inhabited in the past. Together, they waged a battle against SCP-682 within the depths of Dr. Bright's own consciousness, fighting to regain control and end the beast's reign of terror.
Conclusion
Despite their efforts, SCP-682 remained a formidable presence within the SCP Foundation. The various attempts to terminate the Hard To Destroy Reptile had only furthered its understanding of pain and fear, making it an even more dangerous and unpredictable entity. While Dr. Bright and his allies experienced moments of victory within the confines of their own existence, the true battle against SCP-682 would Continue. As the Foundation regrouped and reassessed its approach, the fight to put SCP-682 to rest for good would persist, driven by the unwavering determination of those dedicated to protecting humanity from the anomalies that lurk in the dark.
