(In a Town in Massachusetts, America - 1:50 AM)
(Evan's Pov)
Welcome people. It's your good old boy, Evan speaking this time. Now you're probably wondering why am I here?
It's quite simple actually.
The foundation has sent me, Rodeo, Green and a rookie Agent by the name of Sophia to find out about some disappearances in a town in Massachusetts which locals think involve an ice cream truck of some sort.
The rookie I mentioned, Sophia, had some light orange hair tied up into a ponytail and was wearing an MTF uniform without the helmet, including Green does the same thing.
This was another good chance for me and Rodeo to prove to the foundation that we can handle anomalous creatures and be useful in the foundation's eyes, and maybe our requests might get fulfilled in some way.
(A/n: Just a reminder this chapter will be based off the SCP-490 video from SCP Animated Tales from the Foundation with some changes. Again they're characters belong to them, not me.)
Currently we four were inside a van, heading to the location where the ice cream van could be. Green was driving the vehicle, beside him was Sophia who was sitting in the front seat while me and Rodeo were in the back of the van.
"I'm surprised the foundation is allowing two entities like you on this mission." Sophia said.
"Come on, we can be useful to you guys and in case the so-called spooky ice cream truck tries to attack us, well we can dish out some pain. Right, Rodeo?" I turned to my furry friend.
"True, but still we need to be careful in case we have a run in with another human that has become a Stand or another Stand user."
"Yeah."
"Ok, this seems to be the place." Green said as he pressed the breaks.
As the van stopped, we got out of it and saw that we were in a small junkyard of some sorts. It was a little bit dark so Sophia and Green used the flashlights as they had to get a better look before we all started to look around.
It's been only a day ever since me and Rodeo found out about Green's past and it looks like he doesn't seem mentally disturbed for now. I'm glad actually and got to respect the man that he kept working with the foundation even after going through tough times.
"Rodeo, Evan. We found something." Green called out the two.
Me and Rodeo went to Green and Sophia while they were standing in front of an ice cream truck. Perhaps this might be the one we were looking for.

(Third Person Pov)
Back on third person, the four were now standing in front of the ice cream truck.
"Looks like we found our haunted ice cream truck." Green said.
"Yep."
"Let's take a look inside."
Everyone nods and head to the back of the truck. They then opened the back doors of the truck and they saw it had the same freezers which you would find any ice cream truck for storing frozen treats.
"This thing is freezing." Sophia said while holding her arms with her hands.
"It's an ice cream truck. What did you expect?" Rodeo said.
"Just saying."
Green went to one of the freezers and took out a frozen treat with the wrapper saying 'Super Surprise Flavor'.
Evan looked around the van, he then heard some flickering noises and turned around to see that one of the lights from the lampposts was flickering in and out but he dismissed it thinking that it might be short circuiting.
Green took a bite out of the treat, which he was then immediately gave out a disgusted look.
"This treat tastes terrible."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah."
Meanwhile, Sophia then heads to one of the freezers and takes out a frozen treat, she takes a bite out of it and then thinks for a moment.
"This is human flesh."
""What?!"" Rodeo and Evan shouted in shock.
Realizing this revelation, Evan immediately drops the frozen treat from his hands, extremely disgusted about this.
"How the hell-"
[Hello there.]
But then, the four heard the sound, which Green and Sophia immediately stood next to Rodeo and Evan.
"I don't think we're the only ones here."
[So what are two Stands and guys in uniform like you are doing here?]
"Why don't you come out and show yourself. Maybe we can give the answers right up your face!" Evan challenged.
[Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Now I don't want to reveal myself, but who says I can't blow off some steam without the French man noticing me.]
"French man?" Sophia questions.
Then suddenly the same lamppost that Evan saw earlier started flickering violently until something emerged out of it and was now standing on top of the lampost. It was that bird lizard, but Rodeo and Evan knew this one all too well by a certain name.
It was Red Hot Chili Pepper
[IMAGES]
""Chilli Pepper?!"" Evan and Rodeo shouted in unison.
"Right on the money!"
"Rodeo, is this guy dangerous?" Green asked.
"Depends, if he doesn't have any bad intentions."
'This first assignment just got a whole lot more interesting.' Sophia thought.
"Hey dude, if you're lost you can come with us." Evan said, try to be diplomatic.
Chili pepper laughed, "Didn't you hear what I said a few seconds ago? I'm here to blow off some steam!"
"So you want to fight us?"
"Of course! But don't blame me if you get killed in the process." He said with a maniacal grin.
"Kid, I really have a bad feeling about this guy." Green uttered to Rodeo.
As the atmosphere was about to get intense and a fight was about to break out, suddenly music started playing from the speakers of the ice cream truck.
"What the hell?" Chili Pepper raised a brow.
Green and Sophia heard it, but then they started to slowly walk towards the truck looking weirdly, as if they were being mind controlled by the Van itself.
"Uhh guys."
The two didn't listen. They just kept on walking towards the back doors of the truck.
"I think the music is hypnotizing them." Rodeo said.
Knowing this, Evan quickly pins both of them to the ground to see that their face was showing no emotion whatsoever and were in a hypnotized state as they continue to stare at the ice cream truck.
"You two, snap out of it!"
But it seems like Evan's words weren't reaching the two, Rodeo then quickly approached the ice cream truck to deal with it. But then, the truck started its engine, even without a driver as it was now driven out of the junkyard.
'Evan, go after that ice cream truck and call additional Mobile Task Force units with Green's radio." Rodeo ordered.
"And you?"
"I'll deal with Chili pepper."
Evan nods, he takes Green's radio and flys after the ice cream truck.
In the meantime, Chili Pepper then jumps off the lamppost and lands on the ground before cracking his knuckles.
"You know, you're at a very big disadvantage against me when it comes to speed."
"I know that but still who's the French man you were talking about?"
"Sorry, but I ain't tellin you shit."
"....Then do you know anything about 'Ride Me to Hell?'"
"Doesn't ring a bell."
Rodeo sighs, "Then what's your name at least."
In response, Chili Pepper then started glowing brighter with electricity surrounding his body and looked at Rodeo with a menacing glare.
"I'll tell you.... right after I blow some steam off on 'you'"
After his words, Chili Pepper, with lightning fast speed came rushing towards Rodeo who was unfazed by the ludicrous speed Chili Pepper was moving. He then quickly side steps to the left with the fast moving lizard bird missing his target.
Rodeo then grabs his tail and yeets him towards a scrapped car and crashes into it.
"Lucky shot." Chilli Pepper muttered before disappearing into the electric wires underneath the ground.
In the next instant, he had reappeared behind Rodeo who quickly turned around but was immediately punched in the face by Chili Pepper.
"Damn it!" Rodeo grunted as he felt electricity going through his body. He then gave two fast right jabs to his opponent's face, uppercuts and punched him hard in the gut making him cough some blood out.
In anger, Chilli Pepper then wraps his tail around Rodeo's neck and slams his face into the ground.
As he had done that, Pepper heard two gunshots and immediately looked to his left to see two bullets heading towards him, but having an 'A' stats is not for nothing, and so, he quickly ducks and sees it was Green and Sophia holding Glock pistols in their hands.
"You sons of bitche-!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was grabbed by the throat by Rodeo, choking him before he slammed him to the ground.
"Sophia, Green, this is not your fight!" Rodeo yelled at the two.
"Like hell we're gonna let you fight alone!" Green shouted.
As he shouted back at Green, Rodeo was then punched in the chest by Chili Pepper making him lose his grip on him which he got the perfect opportunity due to Rodeo's injury, and so he did a sweep kick making Rodeo fall to the ground.
Sophia and Green point their Gallocks at him but Chili Pepper, with lightning speed grabs their weapons and destroys them with a simple crush with his bare fist alone.
In the distance, Rodeo already gets up and runs towards him, noticing his presence, Pepper smirks and disappears into the wires underground and reappears behind Rodeo then appears to his left then to the right.
Now Chilli Pepper was appearing from multiple directions trying to confuse Rodeo. As Chilli Pepper appeared right in front of him, he unleashed a barrage of lightning fast punches, while Rodeo was trying his best to parry and block the attacks.
"What's the matter? Having a hard time catching up with my speed?"
But then, Rodeo sees an opening, he grabs both of Pepper's fists and headbutts him in the face before doing a roundhouse kick, making him fall to the ground.
"You're fast, true, but when it comes to combat you don't have the training and skills to catch up to me!"
By Rodeo's words, Chilli Pepper felt insulted, he then got up and did a fast spin kick which Rodeo easily blocked with his left arm, but Chilli Pepper then did a straight punch, but Rodeo blocked it with the palm of his right hand without any troubles.
Chilli pepper then did two fast kicks with his left leg making Rodeo take a few steps back, but Pepper uppercuts him, knocking him to the ground.
Sophia and Green then took out their combat knives and were ready to attack him but Chilli pepper was quick and punched both of them in the gut, sending electricity into their bodies as they collapsed on the ground.
As Chilli Pepper felt satisfied, his arms were grabbed by Rodeo as he then judo slams him to the ground before quickly punching his face into the ground.
In annoyance, Chilli Pepper grabbed his legs and started electrocuting Rodeo as he yelled out in pain.
"You really think you can beat me!" Chilli Pepper shouted as he let go of his legs. Dropping Rodeo to his knees with some smoke steaming from his body due to the electricity almost frying him.
"As long as this town has electricity to power me up, I can just keep on going without tiring myself out! But what about you? I bet you'll get unending pats from furry lovers! Haha!"
"Hey!"
Chilli pepper turned around and was then hit in the face by a metal baton by both Green and Sophia.
Even getting hit by metal batons enough to break someone's bones, Chilli pepper looks at them with a smirk.
"Oh please, like that's gonna hurt anyone."
With a snort, Green does a vertical swing with his baton but Chilli Pepper easily avoids it, Sophia does a horizontal swing with her baton but he avoids that as well.
With his turn, Chilli pepper then used his right pinky finger and cut her right hand off her arm.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Chili Pepper sighed in satisfaction, "The screaming of an idiot is more like a music to my ears, its kinda satisfy-"
*Bam!*
Cutting his sentence off, Chilli Pepper was met with a powerful punch to the face by Rodeo, which sent him crashing into a wooden fence. Green immediately checked on Sophia's injuries while Rodeo was approaching Chilli pepper menacingly.
"You cut her hand off?!!" Rodeo angrily yelled.
Chilli pepper gets up and replies, "Hey! It's her fault that she came in between our fights!"
Following his words, his body started glowing brighter and then disappeared. At the next instant, he was now on Rodeo's left side, ready to give him a left hook and due to the speed, Rodeo couldn't block the attack in time and was immediately punched in the face.
In response, Rodeo does a flip kick on him and gains some distance from Chilli pepper before he throws a piece of metal at him.
"Switch on!"
*Boom!*
The metal piece then exploded, leaving only smoke. The smoke cleared and Chilli pepper was nowhere to be seen.
"Did it hit him?"
Suddenly, Chilli Pepper appears on top of a lamppost, he then jumps towards Rodeo and drops kicks his back, quickly grabs the back of his head and slams his entire face into the ground before he starts to electrocute Rodeo again as he screams in pain.
"Ahhhhhh! Sheer Heart Attack!!" Rodeo called out his sub-stand as it moved out of his hand.
"Kocchi Wo Miro."
Chilli Pepper's eyes widen, he immediately gets a few meters away from SHA but then it flies after Chilli Pepper since his electricity was producing a tremendous amount of heat. Chilli Pepper disappears into the ground and appears a few meters away, but he felt a presence behind him and it was Rodeo, which he immediately unleashed a barrage of punches on him.
"Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa! Killa!"
With a final punch, Rodeo sends him flying towards a stack of scrapped cars and crashing into them as the stack collapses.
Rodeo called back SHA and saw Chilli Pepper still standing, but bleeding a little bit from the head, chest, and from his mouth.
(Music Stops)
"Now Chilli Pepper, tell me your name and about the French man you were talking about."
Chilli Pepper just looks at him and curses.
"Go to Hell."
Chilli Pepper then disappears into the wires, never to be seen again.
"As expected, it seems like we have bad ones roaming around after all." Rodeo murmured to himself as he then approached Green, who was patching up Sophia's cut up area where she lost her hand and she was finding it painful.
"You alright?"
"....I'm fine. Just lost my hand to an electro maniac."
"But you did a great job today." Green said, trying to lighten the mood a little.
"Thanks, I guess."
"Come on, let's catch up with Evan. He might be still after the ice cream truck."
The two nod, they then entered the van and started driving towards the direction where Evan went.
