" Danger, if met head on, can be nearly halved. "

- Winston Churchill

(February 9, 2018: Underground Area, New York City, 3:30 AM)

In the dark and wet tunnel, there were splatter of crimson human blood and disfigured body parts and flesh floating on the water ways and sewage grounds. A flock of mice roamed and chattered around the area. An extreme silence and gloom had visited in the wee hours of the morning without any prescene of Homo Sapiens. A swarm of flies were flying in circles and buzzing which they got attracted from the human flesh. Some footsteps were tapping on the ground which revealed to be a group of six people.

A curly brunette woman in a dark tactical suit walked along with her team and a ginger haired Faunus man with antlers on his head. The blonde man in a business suit illuminated his left hand. Just beside him, an Asian man with raven locks and streaks of rose highlights held his pair of emerald pistols with a blade. A lady with wavy tangerine locks looked apprehensive and moved her head to and fro. The woman with long scarlet hair remained vigilant and noticed such bloody and chaotic environment.

" Do you see and hear anything guys? " the brunette woman asked.

" Just a trail of blood, Daisy, " the dark haired one answered and continued holding his weapon. " 682 must be responsible for this brutal mess. "

" Definitely disgusting..." Agent Nora Valkyrie frowned and picked her nose, avoiding the putrid of rotting human flesh.

" You don't need to tell twice, Nora, " Ren sighed and kept walking.

Xenocide began sniffing like a dog which he needed to scan and sense the being's whereabouts. Jaune and Pyrrha strangely looked at him and shared glances.

" What's the matter with you SHIELD Agents? " he curiously asked and sniffed. " Have you encountered an enhanced Faunus like me? "

" We do, " the scarlet haired Inhuman answered and nervously smiled. " It's just we've never met an overpowered one like you. "

" Really? " Xenocide chuckled and shrugged. " Your country has a population of Faunus, Kree, Inhumans, Mutants, and ordinary Humans who can live freely than here in America. "

" Yeah, you said it, " Jaune heavily sighed in reply, caught his attention to the sudden movement on water, and turned to his group, nervously speaking. " Guys...did you...see..."

" See, what? " Nora asked.

" That thing, over there! "

" Where? " Ren queried and cocked his eyebrows.

" Something's causing waves under that sewage water! "

" Jaune, can you show it to us? " Pyrrha asked.

The blond Inhuman pointed his bright turquoise light hand like a flashlight. Daisy and her team noticed the constant ripples and bubbles aside from the bloodspill. Xenocide continued sniffing and frowned to his disgust which he felt more uncomfortable than what he had experienced few days ago.

" It wasn't me guys, " Daisy reminded. " I never used my powers at the moment. "

" No, Agent Johnson, " the enhanced Faunus man nodded in negation. " It's not from you and underneath that murky water. "

" Then, who? "

As the group stared at the direction of the sewer water, an enormous figure had emerged from the surface, revealing its hair and a bony spike from his head. Its multiple dark hazel eyes intently spotted them and showed its sharp teeth. The SHIELD Agents were apprehensive to look at the abomination infront of them. Xenocide recognised it was indeed the male indestructible lizard who faced him a few days ago in Los Angeles, California. His eyebrows were crossed as he was not pleased to see that creature for the second time. SCP-682 darkly chuckled and spoke gibberish at them.

" What the heck is that?! " Nora apprehensively exclaimed, shaking to see the reptilian.

" It's SCP-682, " Daisy answered, kept her calm composure, and reminded her team. " Guys, I need you to remain calm before we retaliate. "

" What do you mean? " Pyrrha nervously asked and warned. " Daisy, that being can kill us in seconds. We heard this creature from our fellow SHIELD Agents. "

" Still, we have to do some talk first with this one, " she replied and looked at the monster. " So, you're the indestructible lizard who bloody terrorizes everywhere. We need some few words from you. "

SCP-682 darkly chuckled and said, " So, you're the enhanced and overpowered putrid of mud who dares to defy. I do not want to waste my time with you. "

" We need to find why did you make such bloodshed in places that you have been, " Ren added.

" The more humans become advanced in their own good, they tend to be foolish and disgusting. Only death can end their puny existence. "

" I told you guys, he's pain in the @$$, " Xenocide sighed exasperatedly.

" You stupid Faunus friend of the Kree man join with these futile overpowered human group. "

" Look, I'm doing this on behalf of my friend! " the Faunus retorted and indignantly pointed his index finger. " Don't you ever dare to torture anyone else! "

SCP-682 evilly grinned and darkly chuckled, hearing the ginger haired Faunus man's response. The mega-sized talking lizard rose from the murky sewage water and stepped on the ground with his four feet with sharp and spiky claws. Xenocide and the SHIELD Agents slowly stepped back in confronting him and defended themselves if he would ever attack. Agent Nora Valkyrie brought her Magnihild as her boyfriend was ready to shoot the beast. Daisy, Jaune, Pyrrha, and Xenocide readied themselves to attack. The despicable mutant closely approached them and spoke in gibberish.

" What's the matter? Are you afraid to confront me? " he tauntingly asked.

" I think we should..." Nora nervously chuckled and paused, holding her weapon.

"...Run? " Pyrrha continued the thought.

" We're not gonna run, guys, " Jaune sternly replied. " We'll make this monster feel the pain from us. "

" You deserve to suffer..." 682 added and laughed.

" We'll do that first to you! " Daisy seriously answered and placed her hands forward, forming seismic vibrations to push the monster back into the water.

682 felt being pushed, but his whole body could withstand the tremors from the SHIELD Agent. Daisy frowned and continued pushing him back. She tried her best in taking him down. Agent Lie Ren watched the power struggle between the two and pulled the trigger from his two emerald pistols. The bullets instantly flew and punctured the lizard when 682 loudly growled and retaliated at the two SHIELD Agents by releasing his spikes from his back.

" Daisy, Ren, Lookout! " Pyrrha exclaimed.

The two SHIELD Agents quickly dodged from the reptilian's attacks. Agent Jaune Arc released his nuclear energy blasts on his hands, making the SCP object suffer and expose from extreme cancerous radiation. The beast was unaffected after experiencing a series of blasts and walking towards them.

" Dammit! " the blonde Remnite Inhuman cursed and ceased his semblance.

" You fools cannot defeat me..." he responded as the fire from his mouth had released.

Excessive smoke and fire grew within the place when everyone coughed. The rest were suffocating and sweating. Daisy saw her teammates suffering and touched the wall, forming tremors and cracks on the wall. Finally, it revealed to be stairs going above the sewers. Xenocide coughed and noticed that escape hole.

" Hurry up, guys before we get toasted! " he yelled.

The Faunus came out first as the five had followed him on the flight of stairs. They were escaping for their safety from the hellish experience. Pyrrha held Jaune's hand and rushed away along with the others. The group found a doorway that lead them to the subway station in Central Park.

" Guys, we're almost safe, " Nora sighed in relief.

" I think that monster's dead, " Pyrrha replied.

" I guess so, " Jaune panted and placed his hands on his knees.

" We're not even sure if he can survive like that, " Ren surmised.

" So, what now? " Xenocide asked.

" We'll warn everyone from SHIELD about that reptilian, " Daisy answered and looked at the stairs. " We'll leave this place before sunrise comes. "

The group of six had gone onto the stairs where a few people had come and go into the subway. Reaching their next destination, the Central Park Clock showed 05:00 when they spent in the sewers for more than an hour. Jaune yawned like a lion and felt tired on this monitoring mission. Ren and Nora kept an eye on the park joggers where they were present. Pyrrha sat down on the wooden bench beside the tree as she wanted to rest for a while.

Suddenly, they heard a loud horrifying shrill of a woman from a distance. Daisy and her companions turned around where they were heading to the direction and rushing themselves. That scenario revealed that SCP-682 dauntingly attacked and ate the early morning park goers. He had caused another bloodshed above the sewers.

" Seriously, I thought this abomination is dead?! " Jaune exclaimed in disbelief, losing his drowsiness.

" Everyone, let me do this..." Pyrrha answered with determination and looked at the others.

" Pyrrha, we don't want to lose you again, " Nora anxiously reminded. " Do you even understand that this beast will kill you?! "

" Nora, I have to...Daisy, Ren, and Jaune failed to kill that monster! "

" No, no, we can't let you do that! " the blonde Inhuman warned and shook his scarlet haired girlfriend's shoulders. " That thing is a hard to kill one! "

" But..."

" We need the Avengers to back us up, " Ren added. " Even SHIELD Agents like us can't defeat that load of hubris. "

" Guys, I guess Pyrrha's right, " Daisy broke her silence. " We still have to de-escalate that monster before we call someone for help. "

" But what about Pyrrha? " Jaune anxiously asked.

" We're in this together, " Nora exclaimed and rushed towards the lizard, holding her Magnihild.

Ren saw her girlfriend and anxiously yelled, " NORA, DON'T YOU..."

" The Queen of Central Park will smash you! " she cried and energized her weapon, hitting and striking the devouring mad lizard. She sent him electrocuting and yelling in excruciating pain.

Pyrrha took her turn and touched the metals and scraps from the park as they got attracted to her magnetic semblance. The scarlet haired Inhuman levitated and threw the objects to the lizard. SCP-682 felt punctured and bleeding as well, but the two ladies and their companions noticed his sudden healing and recovery. The hard to kill reptile was still standing.

" Oh, crud..." the ginger haired lady nervously chuckled. " Now, what? "

" I think we should run, " Pyrrha muttered in fear.

" I'll give my second chance to defeat him, " Xenocide determinedly spoke and rushed towards the recovering lizard, giving him a barrage of kicks from his hooves.

SCP-682 remained unaffected as Xenocide was about to give him powerful monkey strike. The mad monster threw a barrage of spikes and pinned the Faunus man down, bleeding on his legs. Xenocide was yelling in pain when Agent Lie Ren instantly took him away to safety. Daisy, Jaune, Pyrrha, and Nora were prepared to take hom down. Ren was still carrying the injured Faunus and indignantly glaring at the lizard.

" You humans will end up in your doom if you dare to retaliate me! " 682 retorted.

" At least, you should give us a try to fight back, " Pyrrha sternly responded.

" What are you going to do? "

" We're gonna fight you to death! " Jaune answered and released his nuclear blasts.

682 was still unaffected from the blonde man's radiant attacks. Nora followed it with her electrifying strikes from her weapon. For the second time, she successfully grinned and defeated the abomination. Pyrrha levitated the metallic objects and sent them pinning him down. The lizard yelled in excruciating pain as he bled. With a pistol on his right hand, Ren fired the lizard as his bullets sent struck on the monster's head. Xenocide watched the scene and smiled, sighing in relief.

The lizard was regenerating as none of these attacks greatly affected him. The others were terrified as they thought of retreating. Daisy touched the bloody ground which her seismic semblance had caused fissures and an intensity six earthquake. SCP-682 remained standing strong despite the calamity. He absorbed the quake and used his tail, pounding the ground. It was more powerful than the quake which Daisy had made. The six of them began to topple and became disoriented. The surviving park goers yelled in fear and felt contemplated to run on another earthquake. The hard to kill reptilian watched them in a chaotic scene and waited for Lady Death to take them away.

" Everyone, Duck, Cover, and Hold! " Xenocide loudly yelled.

Everyone followed the Faunus's instructions. The others didn't follow him as they ended up stuck and fell down from the Central Park Faultlines. SCP-682 grinned and thought of devouring them soon. Still with Team SHIELD, Daisy took out her communicator and secretely contacted the Avengers for help. As the aftershocks had ended, the monster slowly walked and menacingly grinned. He was ready to satisfy his appetite for good before anyone else could hinder him.

" Only your deaths shall satisfy me! " he proudly exclaimed with his deep voice.

" That's not gonna happen, freak! " a male voice echoed, revealing to be an armored man with red and gold trimmings.

" Stark! " Ren called his name, looked at Iron Man, and the Avengers along with another group dressed in black.

" We heard everything about you, 682, " Stark continued and levitated. " We ain't gonna end as your crocodile feed or else you'll get toast! "

" You dare to defy me! " 682 angrily growled.

" Nah, more like letting to kick you the bucket. "

" Avengers, Division Six, Assemble! " Steve Rogers or Captain America called out.

Thor flew above the lizard and brought his Mjolnir, which it was sparking electricity. His girlfriend, Agent B used her shadow clones to distract the indestructible being. She and her boyfriend kept hitting him down. The lizard ended up bleeding on the lake and instantly emerged from the surface growling.

" What creature is that?! " B asked in fear.

" My brother spoke of that beast a few days ago, " Thor answered.

" We'll take them above the ground! " Rhodey echoed and used his large cannon on his back, striking the lizard. 682 quickly dodged from the attacks and threw a spike to the cannon as War Machine angrily gritted. " Dammit! "

Tony Stark or Iron Man heard his bestfriend overcomms and struck him with his bright unibeam. Falcon or Sam Wilson also flew with the armored man and released bullets from his device. The lizard remained unaffected and laughed at the flying Avengers. Just then, a giant muscular green giant rushed and jumped towards the SCP object.

" HULK SMASH! " he yelled and gave the beast a series of blows on his gut.

682 was sent flying and crashing when the Hulk approached and choked him on the neck using his extreme strength. Making the lizard dying, he punched the rotting abdomen, double the pain. The SCP object darkly chuckled and grew a sharpest spike, pinning down the Hulk's hand and making it bleed. The green giant was yelping in pain.

Dr. W of MIB saw the Hulk bleeding as she took out her ICER gun to freeze the lizard to death. The verdant tank had gone away and angrily growled.

" Easy, Green one, " the former Schnee heiress turned MIB Scientist emotionlessly said and watched the lizard stuck in ice. " He will not survive in sub zero temperatures. "

" Dr. W, I don't think he can..." Natasha Romanov or Black Widow paused and watched the monster breaking the ice and unleashing his fury.

" Dolts..." she furiously muttered.

" Now, we're gonna strike him down for good, " Clint Barton or Hawkeye took out his arrow and placed it to his bow, aiming at the lizard's eyes. Then, he turned to the red head and asked, " Natasha, ready? "

" Ready..." the scarlet haired Russian took out her pair of electric batons and rushed to the lizard.

Clint released his arrows and perfectly struck into the monster's eyes. Natasha hit and stunned the lizard's tail as SCP-682 yelled in pain and stood tall, removing the arrows from his eyes and starting to regenerate.

" What the hell is that?! " he rasped.

" Pretty damn unusual, " Natasha sternly muttered.

" He must be an extraterrestrial, " W answered.

" I am not what you think of! " 682 grunted and threw his spikes on them.

Natasha, Clint, and Dr. W immediately dropped themselves down, evading the SCP object's attacks. Just then, the blazing Inhuman spouses from MIB had reddened their eyes and instantly scorched the mad reptilian down into ashes. The other Avengers, MIB, and SHIELD Agents watched them making the monster fall into his demise. Dr. P or Dr. Pyromaniac of the Avengers and his wife Agent Y had ended the life of the maniac creature for good.

" We did it! " the lovely blonde lady in black happily beamed and returned her irises into velvet.

" I hope this intense heat had incinerated him, " her dark haired husband smiled and sighed in relief.

" That's what you think... " 682 emotionlessly replied to them and released the same fire from the spouses.

" Pyro-Daddy...." she anxiously called her husband.

" Sunshine, Run! " Dr. P exclaimed and grabbed his wife's right hand away from the fire.

The others rushed away when Dr. W snapped her fingers to form cold wind and snow to stop the spreading of fire at the park grounds. Just behind 682, Steve Rogers and his Remnite MIB girlfriend surprisingly ambushed the lizard. Captain Rogers threw his shield on the being's head, making it knocked down. Agent R instantly jumped and slashed the monster with her Crescent Rose, pinning him and bleeding down.

" Hah! We did it! " she happily exclaimed and took out the weapon away from the monster.

" Good job, Red! " the blonde Centenarian smiled and commented. " At least, this is over for him. "

" Definitely, not yet over..." the deep male voice echoed when 682 angrily muttered.

" What the hell?! " Sam Wilson or Falcon anxiously muttered.

" This ain't good, I swear..." Tony commented.

" Your attacks don't even work for me, " 682 said and walked over to the legion of warriors. " You shall cease to exist in my hands for good! "

Threatening the fighters and the remaining survivors, the challenging and indestructible reptilian prepared to take down another life and stood tall. He had the sharpest claws that could tore flesh and metal. He was evilly grinning and laughing as he was calling death for good. Just above him, a bright yellow being blazed towards Central Park from the skies in the speed of light.

The fighters and the Central Park survivors noticed a woman with an illuminating body using her Binary form. She was bright as the sun for those who saw him. Carol Danvers or Captain Marvel heatedly glared at the monster. SCP-682 angrily grunted and recalled a radiant being from his past.

" You reminded me of someone else. Uriel the angel, " the reptilian indignantly spoke. " You cannot kill me, woman. "

" I'm no angel, 682, " Carol sternly answered. " I know the things that you have done recently. I can't forgive you for what you have done! "

" How brave to confront me, " he scoffed. " I assure you that your death will be anticipating! "

" Then, so be it! "

SCP-682 released his spikes towards the half-Kree woman when she quickly dodged his projectile attacks. Carol gave a powerful photonic blast and sent him struck down. The lizard fell from the ground, crashing down. The other people immediately rushed away into safety along with the other fighters.

The lizard was quickly regenerating and giving his opponent a loud defeaning growl. Carol immediately covered her ears and thought of another attack to take him down. 682 ceased his disastrous echo and immediately approached the lady Avenger. He was ready to slice and slash her into a mutilated half-Kree flesh. Carol's light soul gave her endurance and radiant energy to blast him down for good. She instantly targeted and made him exploding into ashes.

Carol descended on the ground and placed her both hands on her waist, waiting for any signs of life. She intently eyed on the smoke and noticed 682 returning to its shape.

" You gotta be kidding me! " she heatedly spoke and clenched her fists, forming a radiant yellow-gold light. " You're a damn hard to destroy reptile! I should have taken you down in Boston! "

" Glad that you have remembered, but your powers are too weak, " 682 answered and taunted. " You cannot stop me from regenerating. "

" I'll make a way to do it! "

Rhodey or War Machine anxiously watched his girlfriend squaring off with 682 and wanted to prevent her from doing it. He rushed towards her and saw the monster using his tail to exterminate her. Carol readied herself to end the SCP object for good.

" CAROL, NO!! " he loudly cried and instantly hugged her, covering her from trouble.

As SCP-682 was about to end the couple's life, he felt gunshots and blood gushing out of his rotten flesh. He loudly growled in pain and noticed two strange transparent crystals stuck on his chest. It weakened him as he fell unconscious on the ground. The Avengers, MIB, and SHIELD agents watched this incident and eyed on the group of armed people in dark kevlar suits. On their helmets, they had an unusual circular insignia with three rays pointing downwards to the center. One of them was responsible of targeting the being. It was a brunette bearded Caucasian man in his late twenties with a set of grey irises in his eyes. He was holding a rifle containing Keter Crystal bullets and grimly glaring at the other people.

" Who the hell are you?! " Rhodey indignantly asked the man.

" The name's Volt from the Foundation, " the brunette answered with a hard Finnish accent. " Your people should not interfere with breached SCP object. "

" But that damn lizard killed a lot of people here! "

" We don't care of what you have done to the hard to kill reptile. It is our business, not yours! " Volt furiously stressed.

" Who the hell sent you?! " Carol indignantly asked.

" It's damn classified. "

" Classified, really?! "

" We are not allowed to give any information from outsiders like you! Soon enough, we will eliminate you if you dare to meddle with us. "
