Scene shift to the ruined city
Adil (thinking): Okay, now let's try again.
He ran toward the ruins—same path, same loop.
Adil (thinking): How can I break the third pattern?
Then he paused.
Adil (thinking):Wait… every time I look at that old house, I feel a buzzing. What is that? I saw something there… I can't remember… hmm…
Suddenly, the system appeared.
[SYSTEM DETECTED: SCP-055]
Adil blinked.
Adil: "Huh… SCP-055? I've heard it makes people forget… or something like that."
He smirked.
Adil: "Well, now you're finally being useful, system."
Adil (thinking):Okay… this time, I will not look at that old house.
He quickly turned away.
Kael appeared again, annoyed.
Kael: "Where are you? Lost in thought again?"
Adil didn't respond.
Then the system appeared.
[PATTERN BREAK: 1 REGISTERED][3 REMAINING]
Adil smirked.
Adil: "So… finally".
Adil didn't run when SCP-939 appeared.
He stood his ground—again—and helped Kael defeat it.
The creature shrieked, collapsing in a haze of blood and gas.
[SYSTEM ALERT][PATTERN BREAK: 3 REGISTERED][1 REMAINING]
Adil wiped his forehead, smirking.
Adil: "Hmmm… now what will be the last one?"
He started pacing, hands behind his back, humming to himself.
Adil (singing softly): "Lalalala… thinking time… loop-breaking time…"
Kael stared at him like he'd lost his mind.
Which, to be fair, he probably had.
Adil (thinking): One more pattern. One more twist. What haven't I done yet?
Adil paused.
Adil (thinking): Wait…
He looked at Kael.
Adil (thinking): What if I…
Kael raised an eyebrow, clearly annoyed.
Kael: "What the hell is he thinking now?"
Adil smirked.
Adil (thinking): Well… It's not bad to try.
He stepped forward.
Adil: "Hey, Kael."
Adil: "You arrogant bastard… heh." Smirks.
Kael raised an annoyed smile, eyes narrowing.
Kael: "You have a death wish."
Adil didn't say a word.
He lunged forward—fist flying.
Kael reacted instantly, blocking the punch with a smooth guard.
Kael (snapping): "Are you really out of your mind?"
Adil lunged first—wild, unpredictable.
Kael sidestepped, but Adil grabbed his arm and spun, executing a sharp shoulder throw that slammed Kael onto the cracked floor.
Kael (gritting): "You've got guts, I'll give you that."
Kael quickly got on his feet. He launched an elbow strike, aiming for Adil's ribs.
Adil staggered, then retaliated with a front kick, driving Kael back a few steps.
Adil (smirking): "Not bad."
Kael growled, lunging into a grapple, locking Adil's arms.
Kael (mocking): "You really want to do this?"
Adil twisted, slipping out, and dropped low—hooking Kael's leg, flipping him again.
Kael hit the ground, but rolled, grabbing Adil's wrist mid-motion and snapping into an armbar.
Kael (coldly): "Say goodbye to your elbow."
Adil grinned through the pain.
Adil: "I'd rather say goodbye to the loop."
With a sudden twist, Adil broke free—dislocating the lock and rolling backward, panting.
They both stood.
Bruised.
Breathing hard.
Staring.
Kael (smiling): "You're insane."
Adil (grinning): "Takes one to fight one."
Adil staggered back, his left arm hanging awkwardly.
Adil (gritting his teeth):"Damn it…"
He winced, eyes twitching from the pain.
Then—with a sharp breath—he grabbed his arm and painfully forced it back into position.
A sickening pop echoed through the ruins.
Adil (muttering): "Well… that sucked."
