SCP {The SCP That United Them All}

50- SCP Final Solution! Part 1.

As the group enters 343's room, they are met by a sudden flash of light, transporting them to what appears to be a vast garden, as far as the eye can see. The garden smells of fresh flowers and freshwater, towered over by an enormous tree at the center. An anomalous sun and moon both hang in the sky as if set there never to be moved. From a view, from a hill overlooking a valley, Rocky can see people and creatures walking together. He narrows his eyes as he looks upon a woman very similar to Iris walking with a tan-skinned man. 

"Where are we?" Rocky asks.

"Welcome to New Edan!" A female voice replies.

049, recognizing the voice, spins around to see Martha. "Martha!"

"Hello, darling!" She replies with a smile. "I see you have come here by the proper means.." She points to the large gate where the guardian stands outside.  "..so you must be here to see 343."

The old man looks around with bright eyes. "At last, the combination of all our efforts found rest!"

Martha seems to ignore this as she focuses on 239 and Rocky. "I will take you to him. Please reframe from interacting with the residents, even if you recognize them. It is not time for that, yet."

Rocky and 049 look at each other confused as Martha leads them to a humble cabin nearby. There they are greeted by 343.

"Welcome, please come in!" He says happily.

Martha opens the door for them as they enter. 049 stops in front of her, opening his mouth to speak, but Martha shakes her head.

"I will answer all your questions, my dear, when the time is correct. Please trust that this is for good reason." Martha says sadly.

049 looks into the cabin where 343, 239, the old man, and Rocky sit. He then looks back at Martha. "It is very nice to see you."

Martha smiles. "Yes, it has been too long!"

Inside, 343 sits across from the old man. "Let us get down to business. I am sure you have questions."

239 floats playfully around his cabin, examining various items stored on shelves and in cabinets.

"The young lady mentioned this world being New Edan. What exactly is New Edan?" The old man asks.

"It is the dimension that holds all other dimensions together. You are aware of the existence of parallel dimensions similar to your own, correct?" 343 asks.

The old man nods. 

"When a dimension is destroyed or has finished its cycle its residents come here and are given a choice to wait for the others or move on." 343 explains.

"So the woman I saw earlier was indeed Iris walking with Abel?!" Rocky asks.

343 nods. "They have chosen to wait for the rest of you before moving on."

"What would happen if our Iris and Abel make the same choice?" The old man asks.

"The Iris and Abel here and your counterparts would become one and continue their lives here for as long as they wish it. They would know all that has happened in every dimension their counterparts have come from." 343 explains. "Likewise, many of you have chosen, in the past, to move forward to the next dimension in order to aid in its salvation. The dimension you come from is reaching its end quickly, so I offer you the same deal. Follow me to the next dimension, stay in New Edan, or move on."

Rocky shrugs. "I think I will follow."

The old man looks at 049. "I will understand if you stay in New Edan, but I will follow also."
