Now, it’s pretty plain to see that you guys absolutely love the End of the World.
The apocalypse, Ragnarok, Yawm-al-Qiyamah, the Big Rip, the Big Crunch, the Big Bounce
or the Big Freeze.
The Sermon of the Seven Suns or the Great Tribulation - whichever way you want to spin
it, it’s most commonly chalked up as A Very Bad Thing.
But luckily for us, that fantastic fictional place known only as The SCP Foundation - is
brimming with apocalyptic scenarios that will happily bring ruin to humanity in a myriad
of XK Class Extinction Events.
So much so, that we figured we’d do a part 2.
What’s the worst that could happen, eh?
Hello horror fans, and welcome back to the scariest channel on YouTube - Top 5 Scary
Videos.
As per usual, I’ll be your horror host Jack Finch - as we charge once more into the fray,
and take a look at the Top 5 SCP’s That Can End The World - Part 2.
Roll the clip.
For the curious amongst you, that clip was from 2005’s The War of the Worlds by Steven
Spielberg, that actually is a pretty damn decent flick, and I’m not quite sure why
it gets so much hate.
I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to make a bad movie when H.G Wells is your source
material.
Anyway, forget about that.
Kicking off at Number 5 - SCP-2700
And really, this should be at the top of our list in terms of calamity - but we recently
covered it in our Cursed SCP Items list - so no, get to the back of the line, SCP-2700.
As we said in our other list - stock for stock, SCP-2700 is potentially the most devastatingly
powerful item in the entirety of the SCP Foundations arsenal.
As the record states, SCP-2700 is a complex mechanical device, believed to be a vessel
of sophisticated directed energy.
The device itself consists of three components.
The interface, the accelerator, and the core - and it was developed by the legendary Serbian
physicist and renowned inventor, Nikola Tesla.
Yes.
Exactly.
THE Nikola Tesla.
On the surface, the Foundation portrays this ingenious object as merely a miraculous relic
left over from the legendary inventors legacy.
But as is the same with many things in the SCP Foundation - all is not as it may seem.
To boil it down - SCP-2700 is a weapon of such immensely insane power, that a single
firing wouldn’t just destroy all life on Planet Earth - it would destroy all life in
the Universe.
Well, I say destroy in the most tentative term - because a better word would be reset.
SCP-2700 behaves inversely regards to entropy - and if you fire this weapon, it would cause
a chain reaction that essentially causes a reverse Big Bang.
Maybe the universe would completely reset itself, maybe it wouldn’t - I don’t really
want to find out, do you?
Coming in at Number 4 - SCP-990
And I love this skip - because SCP-990 reminds me of both The Observer from Fringe and the
Conspiracy Suits from The X Files - except this guy is a little more forthcoming with
his mysterious intentions.
SCP-990 is one of the few items in their canon that the Foundation isn’t entirely sure
whether he’s trying to help humanity, or destroy us all entirely.
Currently, there is no no containment procedure for SCP-990 - for one simple reason, he only
appears in dreams.
Essentially, he’s a much more stylish Freddy Krueger - sorry Freddy, just with less claws
and even less Plastic Reality.
As the record states, SCP-990 generally appears as a human male dressed in a Cold War era
business suit - who appears to Foundation personnel through the power of dreams.
So far, no members of the Foundation have encountered this guy in the real world - and
if he corresponds to an actual, physical human being - then he’s yet to be found.
Essentially, SCP-990 appears with the intention to warn people of disastrous events, and anything
that he warns of - inevitably comes true.
Now, the Foundation aren’t sure whether he’s actually causing these events or just
being a good dream-Samaritan - but his most startling revelation is the End of the World
- and his warning is focused on a yet to be revealed SCP.
I guess we’ll just have to wait and find out.
Next up at Number 3 - SCP-001 When Day Breaks
Now, this is an interesting one - because if you know anything about the SCP Foundation
- you’ll know that the first entry in their archives, SCP-001 - is ambiguous in its origin,
and is made up of over 20 different entries - all of which may or may not be the real
SCP-001.
Sound confusing?
Well, essentially, SCP-001 is brimming with potential red herrings to keep the Foundation’s
motivation and goals secret.
One of these is SCP-001, S.D Locke’s Proposal - also known as When Day Breaks - and if it
a genuine entry, then we’re all kind of screwed.
In the worst way possible.
As the record states, When Day Breaks is an Apollyon class object, that due to its nature
cannot be contained.
It is the designation given to our Sun, after an undisclosed event - resulted in over 6.8
billion casualties with the first twenty four hours.
SCP-001 is the exposure to ultraviolet rays - that upon contact, liquefy living organisms
- with the effect spreading until the entire organism is converted, visually being similar
to melting wax.
Essentially, if you step out into the sunlight during the events of SCP-001 - you turn into
a gelatinous mass - and inevitably when you make contact with another biological organism,
you combine and blend at a molecular level.
Picture our world right now, but everything is made out of wax.
I mean, everything.
Then turn the heat up - really, really high.
And then everything wants to kill you.
That’s what SCP-001 would look like.
It’s not pretty.
Swinging in at Number 2 - SCP-2935
And conceptually, this is one of my favourite SCP’s in the whole Foundation - although,
it’s also perhaps the most bleak - so, go figure.
As the record states, SCP-2935 is a space-time anomaly that exists within a limestone cave
beneath a cemetery near Joppia, Indiana.
The anomaly in question is a nearly exact replicate reality of modern Earth in the year
2016 - with one quite significant difference.
All life, both biological and non-biological, as well as any sentient entities - machines
- computers and other ‘life-like’ phenomena - ended on April 20th 2016.
All life forms within SCP-2935 suddenly and without warning expired sometime between the
hours of 3 AM and 4 AM Eastern Time.
The reason for which is currently uncertain.
When I say all life - I mean ALL life.
Even the alternate reality version of SCP-682 - as in, the hard to destroy reptile who can
withstand any destructive effect - even he died.
As it turns out though, there is a little bit more to this story.
It appears that the events of SCP-2935 happened after an SCP agent known as Keller, entered
this Earth from an alternative reality, but unbeknownst to him - was himself an anomalous
entity that when exposed to another version of reality, brings about the end of all life.
As SCP-2935 explains, Keller was caught in a time loop - and every other version of himself
was destined to enter the same space time anomaly at some point.
To stop this, he nuked himself - as well as the Mobile Task Force accompanying him - to
bring an end to the time loop and stop the same effects spreading to our version of reality.
What a hero, and thankfully - the Foundation filled the hole with cement and tried to forget
about the whole thing.
And finally - at our Number 1 spot - SCP-610
And of course - it has to be, the classical scenario - a deadly pathogenic infection that
could potentially spread across the planet and bring an end to all life as we know it.
Although, that would be the kind scenario - because it doesn’t exactly bring an end
to life - it seeks to consume it and turn it into a fleshy amorphous mass of skin and
limbs and eyes.
There’s a reason why this entry is nicknamed The Flesh That Hates - and you’re about
to find out exactly why.
As the record states, on first look, SCP-610 appears to be a contagious skin disease, with
symptoms including a rash, itching and increased skin sensitivity.
Within 3 hours of exposure, the disease will cause blemishes resembling heavy scar tissue
- that within five hours completely consumes the victim.
The victim then appears to expire - but will restart after several minutes, where the scar
tissue on the victims then begins to move on its own accord and grow at a rapid rate.
Victims have been observed growing extra limbs - elongating their heads - and splitting apart
parts of their bodies where additional branches of flesh will grow.
The thing is though - once infected, SCP-610 seeks to aggressively spread itself over the
nearest surface areas, searching for other biological organisms that it can add to its
mass.
SCP-610’s only motivation is to consume the planet into one, writhing, limb-filled
mass of flesh.
7 billion people.
That’s like, an oceans worth of flesh.
Oh man, that’s so gross.
Well - there we have it horror fans, do you think we missed any SCP’s that can end the
