This.Means.War

(Briefing Room, Site-19 - 8:00 AM)

Inside the briefing room, many foundation scientists and researchers were sitting on chairs each, including Collingwood. Carlos was standing next to the door and there in the room was a small stage and on a podium. 

Amelia was standing next to the podium while Rodeo, Evan, Green and Sophia were standing on the stage with their hands behind their backs. There was also a white screen on the stage which was showing images and information regarding the ice cream truck with the help of a projector which was on the other side of the room. 

The Foundation has now classified it as SCP-490 A.K.A "The Man Eating Ice Cream Truck." 

There, Amelia continued to explain the whole thing regarding it while the others were listening.

"SCP-490 is to be maintained in storage garage 17 golf. Its door was replaced with a soundproof door with an interior code lock. SCP-490 is to have all four wheels disabled through Standard Parking Boots and is to be kept chained at all times to form molybdenum eye bolts sunk in a minimum of three meters into a solid concrete floor." She turned to the three standing on the stage near her.

"Thanks to these two agents and two SCPs, they managed to capture the anomaly and are now in Foundation's custody. If not for the two SCPs help, we will lose either of the two agents." She then return to face to the audience and continues to explain about the SCP.

"Now, we have learned a number of anomalous Properties exhibited by this SCP during its containment and preliminary testing on it."

The flat screen on the wall behind Amelia began to change, showing more images of SCP-490.

"490 is an Ice Cream Truck dating to the 1960s, constructed by Ford. It seems to be mechanically standard except for the audio system which does not respond to operators though it appears to be in working order. The key to the vehicle is fastened in the ignition and cannot be extracted by any means. SCP-490 can be driven and functions properly in all ways compared to other vehicles of the same model."

She continued, "Between 2 and 5 AM local time, SCP-490 will operate itself and drive at low speed in a random circuit through the local roadways. At this time, it will function as if in peak condition while playing a tune from its speakers. The tune has not been identified but resembles music played on non-anomalous trucks of the same make. However, the tune never loops and no portions can be identified as of yet as recorded portions do not carry anomalous effects. Any individual who hears the music will start advancing towards the vehicle, ignoring any instructions to stop"

"Upon reaching the vehicle, the backdoors to the truck will open and the person will step inside with the doors closing behind him or her. The doors will become sealed, impossible to open by regular means and if tampered with it will begin to chase down the individual response. If there are multiple subjects affected, then each will line up and wait for the doors to open again or until the three-hour window has elapsed. Subjects outside the vehicle will wander away in apparent confusion when interviewed, they appear to have no memory of the event, any persons that entered into the truck during the time that the music was playing will have vanished. The stockers will have been stocked with frozen treats, though the treats will contain traditional flavors: Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla, but the wrapper advertises a surprise flavor, the Super... Surprise Flavor stated is human flesh. incorporated into the product which DNA testing has proven to be that of the subjects who entered the vehicle and subsequently vanished." She added.

"While SCP-490 has been contained, its origins are still unknown since the license plates on SCP-490 have been rusted to the point where the number cannot be identified. But we will begin research more on it very soo-"

Suddenly the projector shuts down and the pictures it was projecting on the white screen disappeared.

"Hm, great." Amelia sighed, "Can someone check what happened-"

[Hello again, Killer Queen and The World.]

Everybody tensed up after hearing the voice, especially Rodeo, Evan, Green and Sophia who knew who it belonged to. The projector then turned itself back on and showed a video projection on the screen. On the screen was none other than Chilli Pepper. 

[We meet once again!]

"How the hell did you get here?! Wasn't the bashing I gave you in that junk yard today not enough?!" Rodeo shouted.

*Music Play — JoJo's Bizarre Adventures Stardust Crusaders OST Dio's World*

[Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. I'm not here to settle the score. I'm here to give the foundation a message.]

"A message?" Amelia asked.

[Yes, a message. So I need all of you here in this room to listen closely. Otherwise I might have to drag you through the power lines and kill all of you in an instant.]

"Like that's gonna-!"

"Evan, let's listen to him."

"But-"

"Look, he's fast and even if you use time stop he will retreat quickly inside a power line and you won't be able to reach him. Play smart. Not dumb, Evan."

Evan let out a grunt, letting Alvin continue. 

[Now look, Foundation. You want to keep the world safe, but I'm pretty sure you have used many ways to keep things under check... most of those ways being inhuman in nature. You see, I know how the foundation works. You guys think that the 'only' way to keep humanity safe is by limiting your emotions. Becoming cold as an ice person.... and you may be right.]

[But you see, the foundation is questionable. They see D-class as fodder and I know that most of those D-class were framed for their crimes.... or were framed by the foundation just to increase the slot. So many of your people have died from the science division and yet here you are still working with them. Thinking you are doing something for humanity. When the reality is, you yourself are destroying your own emotions just to keep the world safe. You yourself have become heartless monsters.... and do you know what happens to those who show emotions in this place? Well it's simple. You either lose your job or lose your life.]

"You don't know that!" Rodeo exclaimed.

[Oh really? Do you think you can trust the foundation? Do you think there is a happy ending in this messed up world of SCPs? You think you can have a family and live peacefully knowing that your worst nightmares are out there in the shadows? Do you think you can make a change? No you can't, and everything you love.. will be gone! But now I'll get back to the point.]

Then everybody listened to what Alvin said.

[Now the tides have shifted in this world. Stands like me and Stand users have emerged. Some weak, some strong and those who can play with Time and Fate.] He said, looking at Rodeo and Evan.

Alvin continued, [So, I'm here to tell you all here that the doomsday clock increased the day we made contact with this world. And that you want to trust Stands like him and be friendly to him because they're nice. Well I'm here to say one thing. Not all of them will be gentle.... just like me.]

Alvin raised his right hand and saw that he was ready to snap his fingers. 

[SCP Foundation. War has begun. And this is....

....Our Stand group's declaration of war.]

*Snap!*

By the time he had snapped his fingers, electricity started crackling around Rodeo's body, the electricity started glowing brighter and brighter until he started getting electrocuted violently.

"Gahhhhhhhhhhh!!" Rodeo yells in pain and agony as the feeling of getting electrocuted from a jolt of electricity enough to kill a human being in an instant is unbearable.

"""Rodeo!!""" 

Every light source in the room from the electricity became brighter when Rodeo was getting electrocuted even more violently. 

[Don't even think you can help him. Once my ability, [Electric Discharge] activates, you too will get electrocuted as well if you get close to him. You see, when I fought you back at the junkyard, I was not electrocuting you but better yet I stored electricity inside your body. You won't even notice the electricity in your body at all. Then with a snap of my fingers, I let the stored energy burst out and it will start electrocuting you and anybody who gets close to you, they will get electrocuted as well. This is the message I wanted to deliver through him. That there is no place for his type of people in this world. The ones who believe that everything will be alright!] He said in a menacing and dark tone.

Everyone could only look in horror as the electricity was frying him. The electrocution then stopped and all saw was a very terrifying sight: Rodeo was on his knees, his eyes weren't showing any signs of light as his entire body had burn marks and every part of his body was bleeding, the blood in him started falling on the floor of the stage. Everyone went silent, wide eyed and many shed tears to see him in this gruesome state. 

(Music Stops) 

'Huh? I didn't expect him to drop dead. Did I use too much electricity?' Chilli Pepper thought.

Back to the gang, Evan slowly walked towards Rodeo's motionless body. 

"Rodeo?"

"..."

Evan pats his shoulder, expecting a response. But nothing. Only silence. 

"Come on, man. Say something." Evan lifted his right arm up and let go of it. It was limp. Everybody came to a horrifying conclusion. They didn't want to accept it. But he was gone. 

"Rodeo!!" With tears in her eyes, Amelia runs to him and hugs his lifeless body and lets out every tear seeing the one who she saw as a son be extinguished. 

The others also were in the same state as her. Collingwood fell on her knees crying and Carlos, with tears in his eyes, was having a hard time processing this. Green stood next to Evan who was trying his best not to cry and even he was trying his best as well. Sophia, while she didn't know Rodeo much since they just met today, she too shed tears seeing such a nice person who saw that she can become better, meet such a fate. And all the others felt the same thing. Sadness and tears.

'I didn't plan this. Shit, I really miscalculated the amount of electricity I stored in him, I should've studied more in physics class, damn it! Spy just told me to injure him, not kill him. But will it affect our plans? That's the main issue.' Chilli Pepper thought as everybody in the room present weren't the ones feeling emotional, but unlike them, Alvin only feels more like the opposite of the subject.

Evan then grips both of his hands tightly and glares at Alvin.

"Damn. You. Chilli Pepper!!" Evan brought out ten knives from his back feeling nothing but rage. "I'll goddamn kill you, you son of a bitch!!"

Evan was about to throw his knives at the white screen, suddenly a voice was heard from...

Rodeo. 

"Now your next line is going to be, 'This wasn't part of the plan.'" 

[This wasn't part of the plan.] Alvin said it to Evan.

But when he heard Rodeo's sudden words, Alvin gasped in surprise, meanwhile everybody's eyes went wide and saw that Rodeo's eyes were glued back and he was pointing at Alvin.

"""Rodeo!!"""

Rodeo weakly stood up from the floor with Amelia helping him up.

"While I do agree with most of what you just said, Chilli pepper. But I don't agree with the fact that my type of people shouldn't be here. It's people like me who can bring change and deal with guys like you who want nothing but to cause trouble. And there are a number of good people in this messed up world. Your type of people are just too blind to see it."

[You really think you can fight every entity, every Stand and Stand user out there in this world and bring change. Including those annoying ass Readers that kept questioned and complaining your stupid behaviour and bad writing character, huh!? How are you going to do that?! Tell me, how are you supposed to do that?]

"With the Arrows."

Hearing his words, Alvin's eyes widened. He knew what Rodeo wanted to do. 

"Now your next line is going to be, 'You're crazy to think that you will get all the Arrows, especially the special one.'" 

[You're crazy to think that you will get all the Arrows, especially the special one- what the fuck!?] Alvin gasped again. He guessed his next line once again. Alvin gritted his teeth in anger and shouted, [Stop doing that stupid Joseph line thing, you puss!]

But Alvin's words went in deaf's ears as Rodeo simply ignored it, he then turned to Carlos and said, "Blow the projector up."

Carlos then immediately fires an icicle at the projector, which Alvin quickly comes out of and the icicle blows up the projector instead. 

Alvin then shoots a glare at Rodeo, "You're a stubborn guy. You know that, right?" 

He then disappeared through the wires in the floor, successfully escaping. 

Chuckling, Rodeo then was about to do the Avdol, 'Yes I Am' thing.

"YES. I A- Ah, motherfu-!" 

*Thud!* *Beeeeep—*

Rodeo was interrupted when he felt immense pain, he fell on his knees on the ground like a Gmod Ragdoll with Heartbeat Flatline sound effect in the background, passing out with his eyes, once again, shuts down like a flashlight running out of batteries.
