Chereads / Reborn as a SCP / Chapter 8 - Death

Chapter 8 - Death

At last, Leo let everything out.

All the anger, hatred, and despair that he had built up in these last couple of days was finally released.

There would be no way that Leo was going to suffer an agonizingly slow death with him getting tortured to death by an SCP.

Leo pushed himself off the chair and jumped towards one of the guards.

He was cuffed and used it to his advantage.

The guard didn't respond in time and Leo took him by surprise, he had never seen a class-D act like this since all of them had the instinct to preserve their life, but after all that Leo had gone through that instinct wasn't there anymore.

The guard was tackled to the ground and Leo used his cuffs to start strangling him.

The other guard tried intervening and wanted to kick Leo in the gut, but Leo swayed the body of the guard that he was strangling in front of him, resulting in him kicking his friend.

The kick knocked the wind out of the guard that Leo was strangling, Leo was sure that he would pass out any second.

However, the other guard made sure that wouldn't happen by following up and stomping on Leo, hitting him on the head.

Leo felt the world go dizzy around him, but he didn't give up.

He already knew and accepted that he would not be getting out alive, even if he managed to kill everyone in this room he still had to escape the site, and the site was heavily secured and located under the rocky mountains.

Leo reached for the handgun in the holster of the guard that had the wind knocked out of him since he was still trying to recover and was gasping for air after being released by Leo.

Leo managed to grab the gun and aimed at the scientist.

A loud bang followed.

However, it wasn't the scientist that collapsed, it was Leo.

As he fell down he saw the smoke leaving the barrel of the guard that shot him.

Leo hit the ground with a thud as a red blood mist slowly started falling down.

Leo instantly felt the pain in his abdomen and resisted the urge to scream and he applied pressure on the wound with one hand.

The guard that shot him was still aiming his weapon at Leo meanwhile helping his buddy get back on his feet.

The guard had already kicked the gun away, but Leo was committed and mustered some of his last energy in order to lunge towards it.

However, the guard didn't hesitate to put another round into Leo, this time hitting him in his upper chest.

Leo didn't bother to apply pressure to the wound as the adrenaline kicked in.

It still hurt like hell and he had no energy left except determination and hatred.

He started crawling towards the gun with everything he had, creating a bloody trail.

He almost was there when he felt a foot being planted right on the exit wound of the bullet on his chest.

Up next he heard radio static as the guard spoke something into the radio.

"Orion-49 to HQ, D-4811 has been terminated due to resistance, Eurus-31 has sustained minor injuries, over."

When the guard finished, one final bullet was released which pierced Leo's brain.

In the final moments before death, Leo only had one thought.

"Why am I the one who must always suffer? All of this happened due to the corruption of others, I've just been a puppet in the grand scheme of everything, the foundation is a predator, and I was the prey all along. The entire foundation, no, the entire world is corrupt. It should all be purged in order for a new beginning."

"Is this... the afterlife?" thought Leo as he found himself swimming in a black abyss.

He had the constant feeling of drowning, but in reality, he wasn't.

In the next second, a loud domineering, and arrogant voice was heard.

"Is that really what you want?" asked the voice.

Leo looked around but didn't see anything.

"What do you mean?" yelled out Leo.

"Do you truly wish to purge the world? To create a new one?"

Leo thought for a while before responding.

"Yes, that is truly what I want. But before that, I want to trample those who wronged me in this world!"
