abyssal-horizons

Chapter One: - SCP-XXXX

A Demonic invasion of a small town, the story follows an MTF fighting through the town to find survivors and contain the threat. Upon entering a black obsidian church and encountering the head demon, their goal becomes clear: Close the portal. But just as they reach it, a bloody black hand bursts out of the earth and crushes the portal in its hand. As it retreats into the soil, a black pool opens. The MTF enters and finds themselves face to face with Lucifer, crushing a demon's head and wiping the blood from their hands.

Lucifer doesn't turn around, instead saying over their shoulder, "I'm sorry that went on for so long, I've been otherwise occupied with matters of similar importance. But your services are still required." They turn and smile. "Does the title 'Saviors of Hell, Heaven, and Earth' appeal to you?"

Goal: plausibly explain the Foundation meeting the Devil, set the tone for the series with Sigma-70 and almost gratuitous violence, demonstrate the difference between demons and devils in both behavior and appearance.

Chapter Two:

Continuing from where Chapter One left off, Lucifer takes the MTF with them on a small tour, explaining what Hell really is. Lucifer then invites Foundation doctors into the Palace so they can discuss what's going down in the Abyss.


Story: Lucifer recruits the Foundation to help him stop a demonic invasion of Heaven, Hell, and Earth. Several MTFs are deployed into the Plains to make their way across the most hostile terrain and reach the Ruins of Carsok and remove the Thorned Chalice before it fills and allows the demons to escape. During this time, Lucifer honors the deal by speaking to the Foundation about topics in which he has knowledge, such as demonic cults, ancient magics to use in containment, and religious anomalies still undiscovered. Each interview will hopefully foreshadow what happens in the next expo log.

Characters:

Lucifer, a playful but pensive shape shifting ruler of a dimension driven by science, philosophy, and curiosity.

O5-7, a scarred man who has seen many, many things.

Sigma-70, an MTF made of genetically modified and cybernetically enhanced parahumans.

(From mystery and my 5k entry )

Omicron-1, an MTF given superpowers by Lucifer's son at the cost of intelligence.

(from the demon and trashcan elvis and Omicron Rising failed tale)

Upsilon-11, an MTF who've seen a lot of scrapes and come out on top, perhaps due to a blessing from a God.

(From a lot of things tbh)

Miscellaneous characters, sourced from mythology.

The World:

While Hell is lightly touched on and Heaven is not visited, we will learn that Hell is a city spanning 9 planets, and Heaven is covered in temples. Most of the story will take place in Lucifer's palace and the Demon Plains.

The Demon Plains is a vast landscape covered with the decaying remains of an extremely technologically advanced society, perhaps rivaling Hell's own Scientific Might. All entry to the Plains happens at the peak of Mountain Martak, where the Ruins of Carsok can be seen on the horizon. While most of the land is in ruin, the shadows lay heavier over Carsok, which serves as the den of all demons, where their queen slumbers.
