Nine Tailed System 136 SCP-47 Wannabe

Marco: Just come, I will protect you from the "ghosts"...

Then Alice begrudgingly followed Marco inside the mansion, which was still gloomy and foreboding, just like the last time… Next to the stairs there were three bodies, but there was only skin and bones, as if they were sucked dry recently.

Marco: 'Well, Chrome should still be here…'

Alice: A...A ghost did it!?

Marco: What ghost, it could be another chimera…

Marco just got to the stairs with a trembling Alice, before something strange popped out in front of Marco. It looked like a normal woman, just black… No, not the racist type, she was entirely black, like a shadow, she didn't had neither eyes nor mouth.

Alice: She's… A monster formed from residual dark magic inside deep shadows. Whew… Not a ghost.

Marco used the Chakra Gate and threw a punch at her, however his hand came past her body, Marco was still unable to attack phantom-like beings without the Darkness' Bane, and Magic Dispersion didn't help.

Marco: Whatever, method n.2… RUN!

Marco picked up Alice and used Lily's powers to zap away, before the Shadow Girl could see where they got.

They reached the room where Marco fought the zombies before, and sighed in relief.

Marco: I hope she didn't found us…

Alice: This is the first time I see you running away, still with your powers…

Marco: Well, if I can't hit it, there's not much to do… Huh?

Marco felt something strange and turned around, then he saw the picture of a naked woman, he knew what the feeling in his guts was, because the naked woman in the picture was a monster, so he walked to the picture and punched it, making a hole before the monster would come out.

Then, he felt the dark energy leave the painting, then he sighed in exasperation.

Marco: How much shit is still here? Tch, let's go…

Marco picked Alice, who was sneaking away, and fell down from the hole in the floor he created the last time.

Alice: KYAAAAAAAAAA!

Some seconds later of free falling, they reached the catacombs, and in front of Marco there was Chrome on a creepy throne.

Chrome: Who it is thi-

Chrome's eyes widened when she saw Marco glowing, her heart started to beat fast due to remembering the mess he made the last time he was here, however she got back her courage and said.

Chrome: I-I'll pulverize you two with my new techniques this time! Spi! Rit! Let's do this! Use your sexual skills to play with that man!

And then, two ghosts appeared beside Chrome, one was a blue ghost, Spi, and the other was purple, Rit.

Spi: Ahaha, here I cooome!

Rit: I want it…

Alice: HYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! LET ME GO!!!

Alice was struggling to get out from Marco's arms and escape as fast as she could, but his hold was too strong, Marco sighed again and looked coldly at Chrome.

Marco: Alright…

He kicked the ground and used Lily, reaching Gnome in an instant, she was unable to see Marco until she was held up from his hand on her neck.

Marco: Make a single wrong step and I will transform you from a succubus to a dullahan.

Chrome: Gh… I… I give up! I surrender…

The spirits beside her vanished, making Alice slightly calm down, Marco let down Chrome, who looked down in shame for being unable to do anything, like the last time.

Chrome: Mrgggg…. I lost again…

Marco: *Sigh* Don't make that face… Did you kill those three men up there?

Chrome: Some strange monster sucked them to death. She was evil, so I dealt with her.

Marco: What's your connection with Promestein?

Chrome: I got technology for nano-carbons and high speed synapses from her. Namely, the things I needed to make zombies… I never actually met her, and you actually beat me down before she was supposed to meet me in person…

I was almost at a breakthrough in my necromantic research too, before you showed up. I just sort of got carried away… I didn't have any evil intent!

?: Oh?

Marco and Alice turned around, and saw a shadowy figure with the black plague's mask.

Marco: KYAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Marco jumped away from her, leaving Alice there, and his face looked scared shitless.

Marco: BLOODY GOD!! Fucking SCP!!!

?: ...What?

Chrome: That voice…

The SCP-047 wannabe casted off her coat and mask, revealing a woman that looked like Chrome, except white, she had purple horns, white hair, a white lab coat and brown pants, her skin was pale blue and her form was curve.

La Croix: Ahem. I am La Croix… The right hand of Promestein. A seeker of the truth of all dark techniques, not SC-whatever you said before…

Chrome: No… Shirome!? But you died!

La Croix: Ah… Shirome is already no longer in this world. The current me is the Seeker La Croix.

Marco's heart calmed down, and looked at La Croix with a poker face.

Marco: Frenchman…

Chrome: But why are you here…

La Croix: Chrome, Chrome… I've told you this before, too. The role of cleaning up failures is shared by those in the same profession. I came here to dispose of your pathetic productions. Such terrible failures… Your creations. And you yourself.

Chrome: Sister…

Chrome's eyes were starting to get teary.

Marco: Fanatic, and frenchman…

La Croix: Frenchman? I am a woman.

Marco: Do you shave your armpits?

La Croix: No-

Marco: Frenchman.

La Croix: Tch…

Alice: Marco, be careful. She's a deviant who slaughtered countless monsters just to test her skills!

La Croix: The Sinner, Monster Lord, and my unworthy sister… Unfortunately, I was not ordered to dispose of you yet. Though simply leaving here without doing anything is rather uninspiring too.

For a master artist like myself, doing something like that would be the height of embarrassment. Thus, I will showcase my invincible circus! Have a glimpse of my Cirque du Croix!

After that, she sat on a nearby chair and extended her hand to her side, pulling a magical chain that appeared from nothing, beside her, a magic circle appeared and a giant grave with a skeleton designed over it.

Marco stepped forward and used Thunder Thrust at La Croix with his Magnus, however something else interrupted his technique.

?: Bloody Fissure Thunder Thrust…

A shadow came from the grave, and cancelled Marco's skill, even if the culprit was flung some meters away.

?: You managed to use my skill well, and you have strength too… If I was in a flesh and blood body, I would be split in two.

The culprit was a zombie dark elf, she had purple short hair and was carrying a short sword.

Alice: The Cursed Sword user, Fernandez…

Marco: I don't care who you are, you will die under my attac-Hmph!

Tentacles came from the coffin, but Marco used Ninefold Rakshasa to cut them all before they reached Marco, the he backed away from the coffin, unable to kill La Croix in time.

?: Able to defend against my tentacles with a sword… You're quite an interesting human.

Alice: Queen Scylla…

She was wearing a red hood with long sleeves, her abdomen was uncovered and she had something that looked like a skirt, instead of hands and feet, she had tentacles, and her hair were white.

More zombies came out.

?: Hehe… A human worth coiling around. I'll tighten all around you, and make you come...

This one was obviously a blue lamia with snake arms too and black hair. she was wearing a black shirt to cover her chest, which did little…

Alice: Queen Lamia…

?: This place doesn't smell good… There's no sea breeze in the air. I don't like it. But if it's the master's orders, then I guess there's no choice.

This one looked like a mermaid left to root, she had green skin and hair, her ams and tail were completely black.

Alice: The Mermaid Pirate Queen Roza…

The next one was a legless fairy, she wore a black dress, missed an eye while the other was red, she had blue hair tied in twintails and purple butterfly wings.

?: Ahaha, a delicious looking human!

Alice: Titania…

The next was a wingless harpy that flew with magic, she had pink hair tied in three ponytails, her feathers were purple, and her bird legs looked dried up.

?: Is that the enemy I was summoned for? If I can't have fun, I'll cut off your neck…

Alice: The previous Queen Harpy, once called a God of War…

Marco: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6… Anymore zombie that couldn't possibly fit the coffin? I swear it's like looking at a mexican car, god knows how they could fit in there...

Alice: La Croix… You got your hands on quite powerful corpses. You assassinated them all! Any high-ranking monster you had a chance to kill! Poison, surprise attacks… Anything you could! Then you showed off all of them as zombies before my mother.

That is why mother banned this horrible technique!

Chrome: S...Sister…

La Croix: See well, Chrome. This is the true dark arts. Your half-hearted creations will never match up.

La Croix: Now then… I'll introduce the newest member of Cirque du Croix to the public for the very first time! Alipheese the 16th… I so dearly wanted to show off my masterpiece to you personally.

Alice: T...To me?

Marco: 'Here she comes…'

And then, a familiar figure came out…

?: Where… Am I…? I am the Monster Lord… Other than that… I remember nothing…

Alice: N...No! Mother!?

It was Alipheese the 15th… But zombified, the only big differences were her pale skin and black tail, there were some red symbols on her tail and tentacles coming out from her tail, near the waist, her amber horns at her waist were turned ghostly blue.
