====
A chilling scream echoed through the dark staircase as the monstrous creature, now fully revealed, roared and turned swiftly.
With one powerful swipe of its clawed hand, it struck the captain, who barely had time to react.
Despite wearing top-tier body armor, capable of withstanding explosions, the captain was no match for the monster's claws.
The beast effortlessly pierced through the armor, tearing through the captain's chest and ripping out his heart. The captain died instantly.
The creature's roars, the soldiers' screams, and the relentless gunfire filled the air, creating a symphony of terror within the staircase.
However, despite the barrage of bullets, the monster barely flinched. Its thick hide deflected most of the shots, rendering the soldiers' weapons nearly useless. One by one, the soldiers fell, their bodies torn apart by the creature's ferocious attacks.
Even those who tried to escape upwards were not spared. The beast pursued them with relentless speed, catching up and finishing them off.
"Run!" one soldier shouted to a comrade as he pulled the pins on two high-explosive grenades, sacrificing himself to create a massive explosion. Flames engulfed the platform, but strangely, the fire failed to illuminate the darkness of the staircase.
The last remaining soldier, now completely panicked, used all his strength to flee upwards, desperate to escape the nightmare. Alone in the dark, with only the dim light of his failing flashlight, he could still hear the sobs, the tapping on the walls, and the echoes of his fallen comrades' screams.
The soldier's terror peaked as he stumbled and fell. Before he could regain his footing, the monster's roars returned. Despite the explosion, the beast was unharmed, and it was closing in fast.
With no other options, the soldier emptied his magazine, but it was futile. The monster reached him, and the screen cut to black just as it struck.
The scene shifted back to the entrance of the staircase at the school. The rescue team outside, hearing the screams and gunfire over the radio, realized the grim fate of the team inside.
In response, the SCP Foundation sent in more heavily armed squads with advanced weaponry to try and eliminate the creature and uncover the secrets of the staircase.
However, the monster proved nearly indestructible, with reports suggesting it might regenerate or that multiple creatures existed within the staircase.
Some teams even managed to "kill" the creature, only for it to reappear as they continued descending.
The Foundation eventually ceased operations after numerous losses, opting to seal off the entrance with concrete, purchasing the school, and erasing the memories of those involved to prevent further incidents.
As the video ended, the viewers were left with a mix of horror and fascination.
...
In the Various Universes
Orochimaru: "Haha! I was right—there's a terrifying monster within the staircase. Fascinating! And what are those powerful weapons?"
Rhodey: "Hey, does this guy not know what guns are? And why is he so happy about seeing a monster?"
Jiraiya: "His brain is a bit off."
Natasha: "A dark environment, confined spaces, and a terrifying monster—it's straight out of a B-grade horror film."
The voice from the screen continued, "Now predicting which universe the SCP will appear in."
Everyone immediately stopped talking, anticipation hanging in the air.
Rhodey: "Wait, the SCPs appear? This staircase might show up somewhere?"
Tony Stark: "Exactly. The SCPs mentioned in these broadcasts randomly appear in the universes of the viewers. If it shows up in my world, I'm definitely studying it. The concept of an infinitely stacking space is fascinating!"
Tony was already considering how the Void Engine he received could help him study such a space. If he could apply the principles of this staircase, his personal dimensional storage could have limitless capacity.
"The Staircase will appear in the Ultraman Leo universe."
As the voice announced this, the screen changed to show a street scene.
Gen Ootori (Ultraman Leo) and the MAC team were chasing down an alien. The alien was fast, even Gen struggled to keep up. The chase led them into a building, and the MAC members decided to split up.
Two of the team members found the alien, pursuing it down a staircase into the SCP's domain.
Ootori's eyes widened in shock as he watched on the screen.
"This is bad!"
And to make matters worse, the ground suddenly shook as a giant monster emerged, causing chaos in the city.
"Damn it. But this might be an opportunity," Ootori muttered, picking up his communicator.
"Everyone, focus on the monster! Ootori, you're on the alien."
Ootori glanced at the screen and then back to his team. Under normal circumstances, Ootori would have ordered the staircase area to be sealed off. But with his comrades in danger, he had no choice but to pursue the alien into the staircase.
Ootori: "Understood."
He rushed to the staircase, fully aware of the danger that awaited him.
