Chapter 33: The Shadow Walker(2)
(Rome, Italy, Europe - 12:00 AM)
It was already midnight in Rome, and Miguel found that sitting in the store was boring so he decided to grab one of the guitars, sit on a chair and start playing some Spanish music with the guitar.
He played perfectly with his hands, playing the guitar with love, beauty and heart. He learned how to play a guitar from one of his uncle's mostly just to pass time, but Miguel always saw beauty in music as he sees in everything else.
He kept on playing until he heard something.
"Hm?" He stops playing and puts the guitar back before quickly jumping into a shadow heading for the source of the sound. He then emerged from the shadow of a tree in a park.
He looked around but there was no one. Until he felt like something was watching him.
He turned around and saw something.
"El infierno?"
(Translation: The hell?)
What he saw was a man, standing in a t-pose position completely still and not moving while there's a bite mark on the right side of his torso.
Miguel runned towards the man and tried to get his attention, but the man was completely frozen and non responsive to Miguel's attempts.
"Grrrr..."
Miguel heard the growl and looked behind him to see a pitch black humanoid creature, with glowing white eyes and long arms. Its face had no ears or a nose, but it did have eight razor sharp teeth and its claws were quite sharp.
This was...

SCP- 015-IT
Also known as "The Boogeyman."
015-IT looked at Miguel, tilted his head in confusion seeing that Miguel was showing no fear, in fact Miguel was just looking at him... menacingly.
"Maldito seas." He said angrily while gripping his hands tightly.
(Translation: Damn you.)
Miguel started to approach 015, but 015 just growled at him as a way of warning. But Miguel gave zero craps and kept approaching him.
"Una hermosa noche hoy. Las flores duermen. Los búhos arrullan. En noches como la de este monstruo que lastima a inocentes como tú. Debería ser enterrado en el profundo abismo oscuro." Menacing said in a very menacing tone.
(Translation: A beautiful night today. The flowers are sleeping. The owls are cooing. On nights like this creature's who hurt the innocent like you. Should be buried in the deep dark abyss.)

=====================================
Miguel starts running towards 015 and does a forward punch with his right hand on his face before with the same hand, and uppercuts 015.
In response, 015 then uppercuts Miguel hard, sending him flying in the air. Miguel was about to crash on the ground but luckily there was a shadow being cast by a lamppost and he went into it.
015 was confused by this, but then Miguel came flying out of the shadow of a tree and dropped kicks 015 in the face. Miguel then does a roundhouse kick with his right leg on his head and quickly does a backflip to get a good distance from 015. But it seems like the attacks weren't working on 015.
"Damn."
015 runs towards Miguel and leaps towards him but Miguel quickly rolls to the right dodging the attack. 015 looked to his right and was met by a scissor kick to the face by Miguel, stunning 015 for a few seconds.
Miguel grabbed his head and snapped his neck 180 degrees, with 015 going limp. Miguel was about to walk away but surprisingly, he saw 015 get up and his neck snapped back to its original position.
At high speeds, 015 gets close to Miguel and does a downward slash with his claws, but Miguel blocks it with both his arms but the force sends him flying towards a tree and crashes into it.
Miguel looked forward and saw 015 rushed towards him, and so he quickly jumped into a shadow and emerged from a shadow of a wooden bench which was a few feet away from 015.
"Parece que tengo que usar la nueva habilidad, que solo me tomó unos días lograr."
(Translation: Seems like I have to use the new ability, which only took me a few days to achieve.)
015 turned around and saw Miguel holding a black colored spear, before 015 could react, Miguel threw the shadow weapon towards 015 and it pierced right through its head.
As 015 took a few steps back, Miguel puts his hand inside a shadow and a morning star comes out of it.
Black Sabbath's 2nd ability: [Darkness Weaponry]
Info: Black Sabbath (Miguel) puts his hand inside a shadow and by imagination creates any types of weapons over darkness. Pulls those weapons out of the shadows and uses them in the real world. The weapons are always black in color and are invisible in any artificial light like the light coming from a room, such as flashlight, lamppost, etc but are visible in the dark, shadows and dimly lit areas.
Drawbacks: Only Black Sabbath can wield the shadow weapons, any other person who wields the weapons or another Stand that hasn't any umbrakinetic power or who has no control or ability related to the shadows, the weapon will instantly disappear into nothingness if they hold it. The weapons will also get instantly destroyed in sunlight and complex weapons like guns or any other complicated weapon cannot be created by him not due to lack of imagination, it's just because he can't.
(A/n: Now back to the fight.)
Miguel rushes towards 015 and swings the morning star horizontally which hits the left side of the creature's torso with some bone cracking sounds can be heard.
Miguel then removes the spear from 015's head before unleashes a barrage of thrust attacks.
"HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA !!HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!! HOLA!!"
Giving 015 hundreds of hits in a matter of seconds, Miguel then reels his right hand back with which he was holding the spear with and stabs 015 hearts with full force, with the tip of the spear coming out the other end.
015 coughed out blood as it suddenly grabs Miguel by the throat and choke slams him to the ground. Miguel disappeared into 015's own shadow with 015 losing his grip completely on him.
015's wounds started regenerating as he was now in good shape. 015 turned around and was met with an upward slash by Miguel's shadow weapon, a katana. Miguel then does a downward slash which makes 015 forcibly turn his head downwards.
Miguel, from 015's shadow, pulls out two kunai spears with chains and stabs 015 in the eyes with both the blades before kicks 015 into the air, Miguel then pulls 015 back towards him with the chains and kicks the kunai spears deeper into 015's skull.
(A/N: Guess the reference above. It's from a fighting game.)
Enraged, 015 punches Miguel in the gut, which makes him take a few steps back. Not missing this opportunity, 015 then does a downward slash, but Miguel quickly side steps and cuts his arm off using the shadow katana before he does a horizontal slash and cuts 015 other arm off.
However, 015 regrew his arms in an instant thanks to his regeneration ability.
Miguel couldn't help but feel annoyed by this.
"Pedazo de mierda molesto!"
(Translation: Annoying piece of ass!)
015 then unleashed a barrage of slash attack's in full aggression while Miguel was parrying and deflecting the attacks with his shadow katana. Miguel kept moving backwards while 015 kept moving forward and kept the pressure on him, not giving Miguel a chance to attack.
Miguel backflips away from 015 before rushing towards him and slides between his feet and gets behind 015. In a split second, Miguel stabs 015 in the back, twists and turns the blade before he does a horizontal slash that cuts 015's legs off.
015 falls on the ground face first with Miguel doing a tactical retreat, 015 meanwhile was busy making his legs grow back.
"Esa cosa sigue sanando a sí misma."
(Translation: That thing keeps on healing itself.)
Miguel then looked to his right and saw multiple trees. Which an idea suddenly pops into his head.
Meanwhile, 015 was looking for Miguel with his wounds and legs fully regenerated and recovered.
As he was looking for the man, he then heard a whisper.
"Seguir."
015 kept his guard up and looked around, then looked to his right only to see multiple trees. He decided to go into the area and he looked around but still kept his guard up and saw only trees surrounding him with only th3 moonlight shining through the canopy of the trees.
Miguel was peeking through the shadows and looking at 015. Not losing this moment, it was now the time to strike.
Using the moonlight that was shining through the canopy and the trees shadows, he kept on jumping from shadow to shadow at unprecedented speeds before jumping out of one shadow and slashes on 015 eyes, blinding him before going into another shadow.
He kept on jumping from shadow to shadow and kept on attacking 015 repeatedly at storm like movements, making the creature having trouble catching up to Miguel.
Miguel then started throwing shadow daggers on 015 legs making him collapse on his knees when the daggers hit him, and then Miguel quickly went up close and slashed 015's face in half. After the first attack, he then unleashed a storm of slashes, in true metal gear rising revengeance style.
Within seconds, he keeps swinging with his shadow katana in many different angles repeatedly till he stops on his 1000th slash.
As he is finished, Miguel then turns around and says, "Y luego se hizo el silencio."
(Translation: And then there was silence. )
(Music Stops)
In the next instant, 015 suddenly explodes into a gazillion cut up pieces, splattering blood all over the place.
Miguel then looked at the cut up pieces and saw it was regenerating again. Miguel groans and sits next to a tree to rest up a little in order to ready himself for round two... that is until he saw multiple red dots on his chest and spotted multiple Mobile Task Force units with their weapons having laser sights pointed at him.
"Who are you?" One of the soldier's approached him and asked.
Miguel didn't say anything, he knew they were foundation soldiers but can he trust them? That was the real question.
"Can I trust you?"
"Yes, you can."
Miguel looked to his right and saw an MTF soldier that seemed to be the leader of the group, at least in Miguel's eyes.
"Are you a Stand, Mr...?"
"Miguel Rodriguez. And yes I am a Stand."
Johnson then orders his men to pick up the pieces of 015, while Miguel stands up and approaches him.
"Who are you?"
"My name's Sgt. Johnson. I work for the SCP Foundation, and I'm quite surprised that you were able to deal with the Boogeyman."
"It killed a man."
"Not killed, paralyzed is the correct word. But if you're expecting him to come out of his paralyzed state, he won't. I'm sorry."
Miguel looked down, but Johnson then sayed.
"I know that you could have done something more for him, but... you have to move on and learn from your mistakes and do better in the future."
"Never expect getting life advising words from a soldier working in the world's most dangerous job filled with monsters that could kill you in an instant... but still, thank you."
"Good, also just so you note, we already have a Stand in America just like you. The Killer Queen."
Miguel looked at him in shock although his face didn't show that expression, knowing there were other humans that had become a Stand like him.
"You can trust me, Miguel. You might think I have some bad motives but I don't. So you want to come with us or what?"
Miguel just sighed, knowing that he had nowhere else to go and also from Johnson's voice he could understand that he was being reasonable and polite with him. Maybe there are some good people in the foundation.
"Fine. I will follow you, Sergeant."

(Break Room, Site-19, America - 7:30 PM )
Rodeo was currently chatting with Lawrence and Green in the break room like any normal day, but then his phone started ringing and so he pulled his phone out from his hollow stomach, went outside the breakroom and answered it.
"Hello?"
[Kid, I heard from Collingwood you came back in one piece.] Johnson spoke from the other side.
"That I did, but is that the reason that you wanted to talk to me?"
[Actually no, but I did find another Stand in Italy.]
"Which one?"
[He calls himself Black Sabbath.]
Looking at the phone with a bit of hesitation, Rodeo questions in a serious tone, "... Johnson, check his mouth one time. Right now."
[Ok then.]
There were a few moments of silence, until Johnson spoke through the phone again.
[I did what you ask but I found nothing in his mouth.]
Rodeo sighs in relief, "Alright I'll talk to you later then. If you find any more Stands, contact me."
[Sure, kid.]
Then the call ends.
'Two Stands in one day, huh? Maybe we might find more of them quicker than we expected.' He thought.
Rodeo was already aware of this but... he knew this was just the beginning for the Stand's arrival to the world of SCPs. Although three have been found with a good heart, the question is are there others out there with different motivations? Now only time can tell as well as Fate.

A figure floating next to a ferris wheel while wielding a scythe. The scythe wielding figure then slashes the air, as he did, the space in front of him began to tear apart and creates a white colored portal before entering it.
It then looks at the readers and says these words.
