Chereads / A Bizarre & Anomalous Adventure in the SCP Foundation / Chapter 39 - Rubber is Stronger than Diamond(2)

Chapter 39 - Rubber is Stronger than Diamond(2)

Alexie went into a big tent, where the rest of the MTF soldiers were discussing something regarding chaos insurgency activities in the area. 

One of the soldier's looked at him and said, "Ah! Major Alexie, your back." He said in an American accent.

"Yes, I'm back from my patrol and found a Stand there."

"A Stand? Here in Kamchatka urai?" Another one said in a Russian accent.

"Yes and currently she is in one of the tents, relaxing for now. But enough of that, anything new from our team."

"Unfortunately, no sir. They still didn't find any Chaos Insurgency yet or any base of operations."

"Damn it." Alexie sighs, "Alright, tell the team to head back to camp for debriefing."

The soldier nods and exits the tent. 

Alexie looks at the other soldier and says, "Ever since Iris and Sgt. Johnson found Cory's body, the Chaos Insurgency are being more careful with their operations, since they don't want to repeat the same mistake twice."

"Yes, Major Alexie, that is true, but we won't stop our search for them here, right?"

"No we won't, comrade. The Chaos Insurgency has always been a threat to the foundation and to humanity. We can't let them bring back the King. Otherwise, we might be doomed." He said in a serious tone. 

"You're right, Major Alexie."

"Hey, Alexie."

Alexie turned around and saw Michelle.

"What's the matter, Michelle? Not finding the place comfortable."

"No it's not that, it's just... I'm kind of bored."

"I see, but I'm sorry to say that there's nothing much you can do here, besides you can work with us."

"And by work you mean military work? Like the one you're doing right now."

"Yes."

"Wellllll, can I explore the camp then?"

"Hmmm, ok I'll allow you, but don't wander outside the camp. Alright?"

"Yes, sir."

Alexie chuckles, "No need to call me sir."

"Alright, Alexie."

As Michelle leaves the tent, Alexie then looks at the MTF soldier and orders. 

"Keep an eye on her. Not only I don't trust her a bit, it's that I don't want to see her get hurt."

"I understand sir. I'll keep an eye on her." The soldiers left the tent.

Meanwhile, Michelle was exploring the camp. The camp wasn't too big but it was big nonetheless. She noticed that most of the soldiers were both men and women, at least she noticed from the ones who weren't wearing helmets. 

She continued looking around but found nothing interesting to do.

"Good grief, is there nothing to do here?" She said with a bored look.

"What the?"

Michelle looked to her left and saw an MTF soldier with his helmet on, looking at her.

"Can I help you, sir?"

'Can't believe we found another Stand, and it's Spice Girl.' The MTF troop thought.

"Who are you?"

"Sorry my name's Simmons. I work for the SCP Foundation. Who brought you here?"

"Alexie did."

"Oh! And what's your name then?"

"Michelle Keegan."

"So do you know that there are other Stands out there besides you?"

"Yeah, Alexie told me about Killer Queen and The World, I was surprised that there were others like me out there."

"Yeah... but it's nice to meet you, Michelle."

"Nice to meet you as well, Simmons. So I wanted to ask, why is everyone geared up here?"

"Sorry but we can't disclose our mission to anyone. It's the foundation policy to keep secrets."

'Why am I not surprised?' She thought. 

"Have you ever turned anything into rubber, while you were stuck in this forest?"

"I did it once on a tree, just to test my abilities. Otherwise, I mostly didn't."

"Uh huh. So you watch anime?"

"Of course I do. I watched so many over the years, I think I lost count."

"Well what's your favorite anime?"

"Well, I would always prefer JoJo first, then My Hero Academia and Gundam series and so on."

"Well that's great."

"Thanks."

Pretty much, they continued to talk about anime and pop culture like true anime fans, while the soldier who was sent by Alexie to keep an eye on Michelle was just watching their conversation. 

"She seems to be doing fine." The MTF Soldier that was watching her, mumbles.

He then looked at the forest where a large number of trees were boredly until he noticed someone, looking at him hidden behind a tree.

"Ahhhh shit, get to cover!!"

As he screams, multiple figures come out of the tree lines which were Chaos Insurgency soldiers. 

The CI soldiers started firing on the camp, all MTF soldiers immediately took defensive positions as well as Alexie. Simmons and Michelle were on the other side of the camp and quickly took cover behind a Humvee. 

"What the hell is going on!?" Michelle asked panickingly.

"Chaos Insurgency. That's what's going on here. Stay here. I'll be back." Simmons then heads for the other side of the camp.

Meanwhile, Alexie and the other MTF soldiers started firing their weapons on the approaching CI soldiers. Alexie's alien-like armor was protecting him from the bullets, so he had no problem tanking the damage. 

"Damn the Chaos Insurgency. They were waiting for the right time to strike us! But they will not break me or my men!"

=====================================

Alexie lets out a war cry and starts charging towards the CI soldiers. 

He quickly guns down two CI soldiers with his M60 machine gun, another CI soldier tries to attack him from behind with a shotgun, but then suddenly Michelle appears in front of the CI soldier with a broken door from a Humvee. 

The CI soldier sees it kinda dumb, so he just pulls the trigger to kill the pink freak, but the bullets bounced off the door and hit the CI soldier, injuring him. 

Turns out Michelle turned the door into rubber with her ability, she also carries a metal pipe while holding the door as a shield. One of the CI soldiers tried to shoot her, but was immediately shot in the head by Alexie. 

He then looks at Michelle, "Michelle, this is not your fight."

"I know, but that won't stop me from helping you. My ability can be useful right now."

Alexie didn't want her to get her involved but given her ability, he might have to bring her in the fight as well to minimize casualties for his comrades. 

"Fine, but don't get yourself killed."

Michelle nods and heads towards the other CI soldiers who were entering the camp. Simmons was pinned down behind a crate, with other MTF soldiers as well. 

Alexie and Michelle spotted the CI soldiers and charged towards them. The CI soldiers then diverted their attention to Alexie and Michelle and started firing their weapons on them. 

Michelle uses the door shield which was turned into rubber to make the bullets bounce off of it, while Alexie's armor was tanking the damage.

"We are bulletproof!" Michelle laughs.

When they get close to the CI soldiers, Alexie quickly uppercuts one in the face while Michelle quickly sparta kicks another CI soldier towards another, crashing into him in the process. 

Another CI soldier tried to attack Alexie using a combat knife, but Alexie quickly grabs him by the throat and choke, slams him to the ground, cracking it in the process before punches his face knocking him out instantly. 

Michelle saw two more CI soldiers with electric batons running towards her. She smirks before turning the door back from rubber to solid and throws it at one CI soldier, hitting him in the head and knocking him out.

She then quickly runs towards the other CI soldier and kicks him in the place where the sun doesn't shine, making him yell in pain but was cut off when Michelle does an upward swing with metal pipe on the CI soldier before doing a roundhouse kick on his face knocking him out. 

She then saw not far from her, a Chaos Insurgency Humvee, with a machine gun attached on top with a CI soldier manning it.

"Shit." She quickly grabs the door, turns it into rubber again and runs towards the Humvee. 

The CI soldier manning the machine gun then starts firing at her, but she quickly brings the door in front of her and the bullets start bouncing off of it. 

The CI soldier kept on firing, but it was no use. The driver got out of the Humvee and started firing as well using his assault rifle, but it was still no use. But then, one of the bullets bounced off the door and hit the driver in the right shoulder making him fall on the ground.

Michelle then quickly threw the metal pipe like a spear towards the CI soldier manning the machine gun, the metal pipe pierced right through his left shoulder as he was pushed back. Michelle runs on top of the Humvee and quickly bashes the soldier in the head, with the door knocking him out since she turned the door back to solid. 

"I'm victorious, fools!"

Meanwhile back with Alexie and the other MTF soldiers were still gunning down the CI soldiers, as the gunfight continued, they saw one of the CI soldiers retreating. 

"Hold your fire!" Alexie yelled at his men.

The MTF soldiers and Alexie stopped firing to  see the CI soldiers disappear into the tree line. Then suddenly out of the tree lines came a black colored M1 Abrams tank with a machine gun attached on top, being manned by a CI soldier, the tank itself also had the Chaos Insurgency logo on its left and right side. 

"Great."

The tank points its barrel at Alexie and fires a tank round at him and his comrades, but then suddenly a foundation Humvee came right in front of Alexie from his right and when the round hit the Humvee, it instead bounced off of it as if it was turned into rubber.

Surprisingly, the tank shell went flying back into the tanks barrel and the tank exploded inwardly from within, turning the tank into a scorched wreck. 

(Music Ends)

The door of the Humvee opens to reveal Michelle, who was looking at the scorched wreck of the tank. She then looked at Alexie and the rest of the MTF soldiers who had dumbfounded looks on their faces, or behind their faces since most of them were wearing their helmets. 

"You guys, ok?"

Alexie then approached her and said...

"What were you thinking, Michelle?! Bringing yourself in front of the Tank. You could have died!!" He yelled angrily.

"Alexie, I turned the Humvee into rubber and I took the risk, but hey, it worked. I just didn't want to see you guys get killed. I'm sorry." She said looking down in sadness.

Alexie then sighed, "It's alright, my friend. You did a great job. I'm actually impressed that you were able to defend yourself and use your abilities wisely. You fully have my trust."

"Thanks, but..." She then looks at the scorched tank anxiously, "I killed them."

"Yes, but I'm sorry to say that the world is cruel, and sometimes, Michelle, you can't hesitate in pulling the trigger on the enemy. In war, there is no good and bad side, there are only two sides fighting for what they think is right."

"I know, but still, couldn't there have been other ways to solve conflict."

"Michelle, I have lived my entire life as a soldier, while I have avoided many conflicts to keep my men safe, sometimes the enemy starts firing the shots and so we have to pull the trigger as well. You cannot expect the unexpected. I'm pretty sure you're familiar with that quote."

"Yes, I'm very familiar with it."

"Good."

Alexie then looks at the MTF soldiers and announces to them.

"Gather up every CI soldier that is still alive and put them in cuffs, and bury the rest. Contact the team that we sent out there. Can't believe they still haven't arrived yet, while we were dealing with the insurgency, check the wounded as well and give me a casualty count."

The MTF soldiers nodded and went to do their jobs. 

"Alexie." Michelle called him.

"Yes, Michelle?"

"Do you think I did the right thing?"

"I know taking a life is hard, but you saved my men's life and me as well. And I thank you for that."

"Thanks, I guess." She said with a small smile.

"Come on, I think you had enough action for today."

"True."

Both of them started walking along the camp.

(Cafeteria , site-19 , America - 2:00 AM) 

Rodeo and Evan were in the cafeteria, talking casually about anime while two guards were in the cafeteria keeping an eye on them. They are the only four in the cafeteria. There is no one else.

"I'm just saying that One Punch Man season 2 could have pushed its animation levels a bit further if they didn't shift the production companies."

"Can't disagree with that, but hey it was still a good season with fights, comedy and Do-S, if you know what I mean." Evan said with a playful smirk.

"Dude please, shut the fu-"

*Bzzz—!*

Cutting Rodeo off was his phone that starts buzzing, he opens his hollow stomach and brings out his phone and picks it up.

"Hello?"

[Hey kid.] A familiar voice answers.

"Simmons, my man! It's been some time. How's everything going?"

[Oh you know, almost got killed and met a Stand that day.]

"Really?! Which one?"

[Her name is Michelle Keegan. She's Spice Girl.]

"I see. Thanks for letting me know."

[No problem , man. Anything for a friend.] 

Then the call ends.

"Let me guess, another Stand?" Evan asked.

"Yep."

"Which one?"

"Spice Girl. And I got her name as well. It's Michelle Keegan."

"Well now, ain't that a surprise." He said, smirking.

"If you're trying to get laid with her, believe me it's going to end in failure. As always."

"Says the guy who has girls behind his back. Follow you all the damn time."

"Hey man, I myself don't know why they like me."

"Someday I'll find out how you do it."

"Yeah, good luck with that."

(Chaos Insurgency Facility, Somewhere in Greenland)

In the cold land of Greenland, a Chaos Insurgency facility was hidden in the snow. Inside the facility, multiple Chaos Insurgency soldiers were pointing their weapons at a creature which was tied up in chains. 

It had a skeletal body with his head looking like a pterosaur, it had six arms and two legs with talons on them. And lastly, there was a metal gray colored mechanical collar around its neck, with the Chaos Insurgency logo on it 

The Soldier then approaches the creature and brings out a remote from his pocket and presses a button on it. With it, the collar starts buzzing with electricity and the creature starts screeching in pain. 

"Finally, we can hit back at the foundation."
