For years, SCP Foundation managed to study thousands of anomalies, and contained most of them in cells. During one of containment breaches, something went wrong, and together with SCPs, MTFs found themselves in a completely new reality. But was it t...

Your POV: We fell out of the staircase from level 6 and found ourselves on another level, where we had no idea what to do next. We were supposed to find an exit in the depths of an ocean, which was guarded by two entities: Tiny, and The Infamous Thing On Level 7. Despite the fact that Tiny sound less terrifying, he was equally as dangerous as that other thing.
Of course, the first thing 682 proposed was to eat both of them, and 106 instantly slapped him for saying that, as apparently Tiny was resistant to any source of damage. But even after hearing that, 682 kept complaining about why he should eat Tiny and kill him with his stomach acids.
- I am serious, my acids can destroy anomalous objects and you guys know it, just let me try!
- No, he is going to kill you, and we have to do it as quickly as possible! - 106 spoke to him.
- I am unkillable, shut up Larry!
- Oh God 682, fine! Go into the water, make him find you and give it a shot, but if he somehow starts tearing you apart, don't come back to complain about it, okay?
- Deal. - He responded before jumping into the cold ocean.
He had been swimming in it for over fifteen minutes, until Tiny finally arrived, and without hesitation began his attempt to terminate 682, unaware of his abilities. The reptile didn't allow him to be the victorious one, and tried to swallow him in one piece, while we were watching their fight.
- Classical 682. - 106 said with a smile. - If we had allowed him to eat him immediately, he would have given up after few unsuccessful attempts, but now, he is going to keep trying until he wins.
For the next ten minutes we have been observing an epic fight between both of them, which was as legendary as the battle between 106 and 682 in Larry's pocket dimension. However, sooner or later it had to come, and 682 devoured Tiny, who tried to escape from his stomach, but despite stabbing him multiple times, was unable to survive.
- And who was right?! - He screamed after swimming to the surface. - I told you my acids can destroy everything!
- Not everything 682... - 035 responded while looking at him. - You were unable to destroy Bright's medallion, after all.
- I...
- Cat got your tongue? - He asked with a smile.
- No, I still have my tongue with me, thank you for asking, but to be honest, I completely forgot about the incident with SCP-963, and even after all this time I have no idea how it survived.
- Whatever. Let's just dive into the water and find an exit. - Our lieutenant said, and all of us agreed with him.
Having entered the ocean, I immediately found out how cold it was, and after swimming in there for two minutes, I breathed in as much air as I could, held it in my lungs and dove into the depths of unknown waters.
An anomalous ability of this level made it possible to hold your breath for longer periods of time, even up to thirty minutes, but that wasn't enough to find an exit, which was over three kilometers below the surface. Luckily, we had a bottle filled with compressed air that would allow all of us to take one or two additional breaths, resulting in another thirty or sixty minutes of exploration.
When we finally reached The Midnight Zone, where we were supposed to find the exit, I heard somebody screaming in my head about a danger. Immediately I turned around and saw The Infamous Thing From Level 7 swimming towards us, and the warning I had received was through 953's telepathic connection.
At first I wanted to shoot it with my gun, until I realised, not only would it not hurt it due to Scranton's Reality Anchors not working properly, but also that our guns weren't designed to be used under water. At this moment we made a new record of words on the letter "F" which we have thought in one minute, as everyone's mind was filled with fear of getting eaten by a thing vaster than SCP-682.
However it reached its maximum limit, when It devoured SCP-682 and made him fall into its stomach. At this point we thought it was over, but Abel decided to at least try and save us from certain death, and after summoning the largest sword in existance, stabbed one of its eyes, and his weapon surprisingly went through.
- Take that, you overgrown piece of sushi! - He screamed in his mind, and due to telepathic connection all of us were able to hear it.
Without thinking about it twice, he pulled out another sword, and prepared himself for another attack, until suddenly The Fish stopped moving, and then began falling down into the ocean depths.
- Did my sword damage an important part of its brain somehow? - He asked us, unsure how to react.
- If it did, then it would have died immediately. - His brother responded as confused as him.
After one minute, we got our answers, as 682 smashed through his teeth in order to leave its body.
- Hey guys, did you miss me? - He asked us through a telepathy.
- How the hell did you survive that 682?! - All of us screamed in our minds.
- I ate my way away through his stomach, into his heart, which I devoured, and killed that thing. And after that, I just came back through its throat.
- Honestly, I hoped you finally met your fate 682. - Our lieutenant spoke to him, which annoyed not only 682, but also our leader.
- Lieutenant, you are not helping anyone with your comments, so can you do us a favour, and shut up?! - Our commander yelled at him.
- What? I am just saying the tru... - He tried to finish his sentence, but 076 penetrated him with a sword, and then decapitated him.
- I am sorry, but this guy was annoying since the beginning of our journey. - He said with anger while looking at our commander.
- I will pretend I didn't see that, because this guy was getting on my nerves since he arrived to our squad. - Our commander responded with a smile, before looking at 682 and adding: - If somebody asks, it was The Infamous Thing On Level 7 that ate him, not 682, okay?
- Yes, of course. - 682 answered with a smile, before devouring old lieutenant's body.
- It was a hard fight, and unfortunately our lieutenant didn't make it out alive, as he has been devoured by an enemy bigger than 682 himself, may his soul rest in peace now. - I spoke and quickly closed one of my eyes.
- And that's the official version which we are going to use, when O5 counc... Wait, O5-9, can you promise something to me?
- I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything, if Council asks, he got eaten.
- Alright, perfect. Now, let's find an exit.
For the next twenty minutes we had been swimming without any results, until we finally found a mountain with an entrance to a cave, which we knew was Level 8. We began swimming through it, until eventually we were able to walk without having to swim in the water, as most of it was gone.
