From 3.12 "Lunar Eclipse", in the loft, Jennifer held her hands above the floor.

The loft started to shake.

Glass slivers from the broken skylight rose up from the floor around her.

Lydia: (voice over) "Previously on Worlds Colliding (Teen Wolf)"

The glass shards were being pointed directly at Kali and Stacie behind her. 

Kali turned and grabbed Stacie from the floor, planning to use her a shield, to where Stacie would die instead of Kali.

The shards were flying toward Stacie.

"No!" Adriana told them angrily.

Stacie cringed back. "Oh, my God."

Adriana ran closer, grabbing Stacie, rolling them away into safety.

Stacie was breathing heavily, looking at the two shards of glass in her left shoulder.

From 3.19 "Letharia Vulpina", in Isaac's ICU room, Isaac was lying unconscious in bed. There were electrical burns on the entire right side of his body.

Natalie, Adriana, Scott and Ari stood around him.

Adriana and Ari both took one of Isaac's hands.

Adriana started to give Isaac power.

Ari started to take his pain.

They both felt weaker due to their connection and the power that was being given away, and the pain that they felt when Ari took his pain. They were breathing heavily, and after a moment, they stopped.

"What did you do?" Scott asked.

"I gave him... power," Adriana answered. "Ari took his pain."

"Will it help him heal?" Scott asked.

"Not right away," Adriana answered. "He... has to start healing himself before it can... start to work."

From 3.12 "Lunar Eclipse", in Bardo, Allison, Ari, Stiles and Scott walked toward the Nemeton.

Deaton: (voice over from 3.12 Lunar Eclipse) "You'll be giving power back to the Nemeton."

From 3.21 "Foxes and Wolves", in Stacie's mind, Derek was inside the Hale House. 

Fading images of his entire family, including Lucy, Cora, Talia, Peter and Tara were inside, flickering in and out of focus like ghosts. The flames of the fire were flickering in and out as well, like sparks that were trying to become real.

Derek: (voice over from 1.04 Magic Bullet) "Six years ago, our house had caught on fire. Twelve people were trapped inside."

  The fire started to surround Derek completely. Derek looked around.

From 3.20 "Echo House", in the loft, Scott and Tara were talking.

"I'm leaving, Scott," Tara told him. "After all of this is settled and over... I'm leaving."

"To protect me?" Scott asked. "Or to run away again?"

From 3.21 "Foxes and Wolves", in the basement of Eichen House, Void!Stacie broke free from their restraint, grabbing Ari by the hand, breaking it, causing her enough pain to take power from her, making her groan in pain, turning to punch Adriana in the face. Adriana grabbed Void!Stacie, flipping her to the floor. Void!Stacie turned to Derek, throwing him into the wall, making him fall. Tara spun to kick Void!Stacie in the back, making her stumble only slightly.

Void!Stacie was paralyzed on the chair. Derek was sitting next to her.

Adriana sighed, stabbing her claws into the back of Void!Stacie and Derek's necks, making all three of them gasp and leave consciousness. Adriana remained standing. Her eyes were glowing completely purple. 

Adriana: (voice over from 3.21 Foxes and Wolves) "I'm going to try to dig through sickly and pale Evil Stacie's mind to unearth pale and sickly Real Stacie."

From 3.21 "Foxes and Wolves", on the Preserve, Derek, Adriana and Stacie faced off with Rinko!Nogitsune.

Wind started to blow all around the clearing that surrounded the Nemeton.

Stacie held her head, screaming her words. "Get out of my head!"

Stacie slammed her hands to her sides, shaking.

The wind blew back Rinko!Nogitsune, Derek and Adriana, throwing them to the ground.

Stacie remained standing, hanging her head, breathing heavily.

Adriana: (voice over from 3.21 Foxes and Wolves) "We're gonna have to guide her out somehow."

From 3.21 "Foxes and Wolves", in the basement of Eichen House, Stacie pulled free from their restraint, falling to her knees on the floor. She started to vomit up rotting flesh like on the face of Rinko!Nogitsune/the corpse woman. She gasped for air, sitting back on the chair.

A hand slowly reached up out of the pile of dead flesh on the floor. What looked like Rinko!Nogitsune pulled herself out of the flesh up onto the floor, to her feet. She started to peel the dead flesh off. Scott and Adriana walked closer instantly, pushing her against the chair behind her, but she wasn't fighting, only trying to peel the dead skin off.  

Scott, Ari and Adriana peeled the rest of the flesh off of the other's face, revealing it was the real Stacie, and the other Stacie on the floor was Void!Stacie.

Adriana: (voice over from 3.21 Foxes and Wolves) "Try to give her back control of her mind, her body."

From 3.21 "Foxes and Wolves", in the history class, Kira, Noshiko and Yukimura were talking. 

"Even if you do trust Angel, despite not knowing anything about what she is or what she's capable of, she doesn't know how to control herself or to fight the way you do," Noshiko told her. "Being her friend, being with her, could get her hurt or killed. Sometimes the best ways to keep someone safe is to stay away."

From 3.21 "Foxes and Wolves", in the loft, it was almost sunset.

The door was slowly slid open to reveal Sheriff and Stacie outside. They walked inside.

Void!Stiles was standing in the middle of the loft, slowly turning to face them. "Hi, Dad. Hi, Stacie."

Void!Stiles smirked.

¤•¤°¤•¤  

Same Night - Day One

Evening - On the Road - Kira's Car

It was sunset. 

Kira was driving. "We're almost there, Angel."

Angel was in the passenger seat.

They were driving toward the loft, knowing that they had to get there before the sun set and the Oni appeared.

¤°¤•¤°¤

Hale Loft - Living Room

Void!Stiles watched Sheriff and Stacie smugly.

Sheriff let the handcuffs hang from his fingers.

"You want to handcuff me?" Void!Stiles asked.

Sheriff walked down the steps toward Void!Stiles. "If my son is still there, if there's still a part of him standing in front of me, then he'll put these on willingly and he'll come with us." Stacie walked closer. "Because he knows we're here to protect him from himself and from others."

Stacie looked at Void!Stiles knowingly.

Void!Stiles held his wrists out.

Sheriff handcuffed him.

Void!Stiles looked at Stacie, knowing that she knew the truth.

"You're not my brother," Stacie told him.

Void!Stiles shook his head, pulling so hard he broke free. "I see that you're free from my friend's control. Who saved you?"

Derek, Ari, Adriana, Scott and Tara walked in.

"They did," Stacie answered. Natalie, Allison and Chris walked in, dragging in a paralyzed Void!Stacie, dropping her to the floor by the door. "They were looking for you. Found your threat. Your friend there is paralyzed with Kanima venom. She can't help you."

Allison shot a taser at Void!Stiles. Void!Stiles caught the wire. The electrical sparks didn't faze him. He pulled and pulled at the wire until he took the taser out of Allison's hand, tossing it to the floor.

Natalie growled, trying to punch Void!Stiles. Void!Stiles caught Natalie's arm, breaking it, slamming her head against the table, throwing her into the wall. (slow motion).

Natalie fell to the floor.-

Adriana stepped forward to start a fight.

Void!Stacie could move enough to grab Adriana's ankle from behind, breaking her ankle, making her fall to the floor, causing her enough pain to take Adriana's power, making her groan in pain as dark gold veins passed from her to Void!Stacie.

Tara punched Void!Stacie in the face. 

Stacie could feel the pain that Void!Stacie felt because of their literal connection.

Ari punched Void!Stiles, spinning to punch him again. Void!Stiles caught her arm. Ari spun to try to punch him with the other arm.

Void!Stiles caught her arm, breaking both her arms, causing her enough pain to take her power, making her stop, making her gasp in pain as dark gold veins passed between them. He chuckled, keeping her standing. "You see this strength?" He squeezed both her hands, breaking them. Stacie looked at her own hands and ankle, feeling all of the pain they all felt, gasping in pain. "This strength used to belong to you. I have you to thank for this. So, thank you. And thank you for letting me take more."

Tara injected Void!Stacie with more Kanima venom, making sure she stayed paralyzed before she was fully able to move.

Void!Stiles was still taking power from Ari, holding her by the hands.

Scott pried Void!Stiles away from Ari, pushing him away.

Ari started to fall.

Scott helped Ari stand, keeping her standing.

Sheriff kept Stacie standing.

Chris drew his gun, aiming at Void!Stiles.

"Argent, listen to me," Scott told him. "Don't do this."

"Why not?" Chris asked. "I've done it before. Werewolves, Berserkers. I can easily add Nogitsune to the list."

Natalie stood, helping Adriana stand.

Stacie regained balance, standing on her own.

Sheriff drew his gun, aiming at Chris.

Void!Stiles smirked in amusement. 

Void!Stacie raised her eyebrows. "Ooh."

Sheriff looked at Chris. "You're not gonna shoot my son."

"Stacie said it herself, Sheriff," Chris told him. "That's not her brother or your son."

"They saved me," Stacie told him. "We can save him. Put it down."

"Dad, he's going to shoot me," Void!Stiles told him. "Stacie, he's going to kill me."

"Don't listen," Chris told them.

"Put it down," Sheriff told him. "Put it down. Now! Do it. Put it down!"

Void!Stacie got an idea, smirking. "Pull the trigger. Come on."

"Listen to me," Sheriff told him. "Put the gun down now!"

Void!Stacie smirked, laughing evilly. "Shoot him."

"Dad," Allison told him.

"Put the gun down now!" Sheriff told him. "Put it down!"

"Shoot me!" Void!Stiles told him. "Shoot me!"

Void!Stacie raised her voice with the others, laughing. "Shoot him!"

Chris prepared to pull the trigger.

Stacie drew her gun, aiming at Chris.

Void!Stiles and Void!Stacie were surprised, smirking. "Whoa."

Chris shook his head. "You wouldn't."

"You're holding a gun to my brother who is locked away inside his own head," Stacie told him. "Do you really feel so confident to test the theory that I won't?"

"Yes," Chris answered.

"Try me," Stacie told him.

"Stacie..." Derek trailed off.

Stacie looked at Derek. "What? Stiles is still in there. You saved me. We can save him." She  looked at Chris. "Put it down."

"Strife," Ari whispered.

The sun finally set.

Stacie, Allison, Ari, Adriana, Natalie and Tara looked at the window as the light drained away.

Tara looked at Chris. "Put it down!"

¤°¤•¤°¤

Night - On the Road - Kira's Car

Kira was driving. "Get ready, Angel."

Angel was in the passenger seat.

They saw the sun set, driving faster down the road.

¤°¤•¤°¤

Hale Loft - Living Room

Void!Stiles and Void!Stacie were still creating strife between everyone in the loft.

"Stop, stop," Scott told them. "This is what they want. This is exactly what they want."

"Not exactly," Void!Stacie told them. "I was kind of hoping that I would be able to move. But I'm glad you all have your guns out. But you're not here to kill us." 

Void!Stiles turned to face the windows. "You're here to protect us."

The Oni appeared.

Void!Stiles backed away between Scott, Ari, Adriana, Natalie and Tara to stand next to Allison and Stacie behind them.

Chris tried to shoot an Oni, but the gun didn't have its clip. He tossed the gun aside, drawing another.

Stacie tossed the gun in her hand aside, drawing another.

Sheriff and Chris started to shoot the Oni.

Derek and Tara stood behind Void!Stiles and Stacie, in front of Void!Stacie. Natalie stood to the right of them. Adriana stood to the left of them. Ari and Scott stood in front of Void!Stiles and Stacie.

Stacie saw an Oni appear behind Ari and Scott and in front of her, firing her own gun at it.

¤•¤°¤•¤

Scott looked up. He blinked. When he opened his eyes, they were glowing red.

Scott levitated above the ground. Tyler Posey.

Allison was facing the side. She pulled up her bow, her face echoing, releasing the bow. Crystal Reed.

Hands reached up from the soil, reaching toward each other

Stiles stood next to his Jeep, walking forward. Dylan O'Brien

Stacie looked up, facing the right, a slow smile spreading across her face, in the track pose, her face echoing. She ran forward. Zoey Deutch

Ari and Adriana stood back to back. Ari looked to the left, holding her motorcycle helmet in her hands, the irises of her eyes glowing blue. Adriana looked to the right, tracing her double infinity tattoo on her wrist, her eyes glowing completely purple. There was water sprinkles everywhere as they both looked up. Katherine McNamara.

Tara stood with her back toward you, looking over her shoulder, black blood covering her skin, her body reflecting each other. Victoria Justice.

On the back of Tara's hand, a triskele appeared. The spirals were black. The tip of one spiral was Beta blue. The tip of one spiral was Beta gold. The tip of one spiral was Alpha red. The intersection point was purple.  

A black wolf howled.

Derek looked up, shirtless, his eyes closed, shifted, roaring, dust falling off of his body. Tyler Hoechlin.

A triskele appeared on Derek's back.

Lydia's hair covered her face, her hands held in front of her. She tossed her head back to get it to fall behind her head. Holland Roden

A double infinity sign tattoo appeared on Adriana's wrist.

Lydia's reflecting heads turned away from each other, screaming.

Two bands appeared over Scott's arm, the top band thicker than the other.

An Oni's mask was covered in blood.

Tara's black blood covered body, her face hidden, reflected itself. She clawed a design into it across her stomach.

Scott stared ahead. His eyes glowed red. He tilted his head down toward his chest.

Hale Loft - Outside

Kira's car parked.

Angel and Kira got out of the car. 

"Let's go, Angel," Kira told her.

They heard gunfire from the loft, exchanging a look, running into the building.

  ¤°¤•¤°¤ 

Hale Loft - Living Room

The group was still fighting against the Oni.

Stacie fired her gun at one Oni.

Another Oni appeared behind her, trying to slash into her.

Derek saw this, grabbing Stacie by the arm, swinging her away, making the sword slash into his shoulder instead. (slow motion).

Then they all disappeared. All of the Oni, just gone.

So did Void!Stiles.

Derek was on the floor, groaning because of his wound.

Stacie knelt next to him worriedly.

"I'm okay," Derek told her. 

"You got that saving me," Stacie told him. "That's not okay."

Void!Stacie was still on the stairs, paralyzed, rolling her eyes. "It's so sweet it's sickening."

Stacie glared at her. "Shut up."

Void!Stacie smirked.

Sheriff, Stacie and Chris heard someone coming from behind them, turning to aim their guns. Scott, Natalie, Ari, Adriana and Tara turned to the door with glowing eyes and claws.

Angel and Kira walked in.

Everyone relaxed.

"What happened?" Kira asked.

"They disappeared," Ari answered. "They literally just vanished."

"And so did Stiles," Void!Stacie told them smugly.

Angel and Kira looked between Stacie and Void!Stacie in shock.

"What the hell?" Angel asked.

"Angel, Kira, meet Void!Stacie, my evil counterpart," Stacie told them.

Void!Stacie smiled. "Hi."

¤°¤•¤°¤

Eichen House - Basement

Noshiko walked downstairs, toward Rhys and Rinko's bodies in the hole in the wall. She looked saddened to have to see them like this after so long. She picked up two pieces of the broken wall to put together the kanji for self.

Void!Stiles walked closer. "Why that kanji? Why 'self'?"

"To signify that they died as themselves," Noshiko answered. She stood, turning to face Void!Stiles. "Because Rhys and Rinko weren't monsters." She pulled out her knife/tail. "Not like you."

"If I'm such a monster, why'd you call off the Oni?" Void!Stiles asked, stepping closer. "What happened to the woman who called out for chaos, strife and pain to descend upon everyone and everything? What happened?"

"I don't want that anymore," Noshiko told him.

"We do," Void!Stiles told her, gripping her by the wrist that was gripping the knife. "Did you bring this here thinking you could hide it from us?" He took the knife from her. "Bad idea."

Void!Stiles stabbed himself in the stomach, falling to his knees.

Noshiko watched in horror. "What have you done?"

Void!Stiles let the knife fall, holding his stomach. He looked up calmly, evilly. "Chaos has come again."

A swarm of flies started to fly out of the wound in Void!Stiles' stomach, briefly surrounding Noshiko.

Noshiko swatted away at them.

The flies dissipated away into the air.

Void!Stiles was gone.

  ¤°¤•¤°¤  

Stilinski House - Foyer 

Sheriff and Stacie walked in.

"So I was never sick," Stacie told him. "I was just feeling what Stiles was. And it got so literal that it fooled even technology."

"Actually, there's something I have to tell you about that," Sheriff told her. "The MRI scans? They looked exactly like your mother's. So... Neither of you were really sick. It was all just a trick."

Stacie nodded once, looking away. "Of course it was."

"So where'd you get the two guns?" Sheriff asked.

Stacie looked at him. "Allison. She, uh, gave them to me on the way there, just in case. The first one, the one that I pointed at Argent, she, uh, she told me didn't even have the clip in it 'cause she knew her dad was gonna do something like that. So even if I had been planning on shooting him, I couldn't. And the second gun I used for the Oni saved some lives."

Sheriff looked down sadly at Stacie. "Just seeing you like that... it hurt, seeing you have to involve yourself, like you'd kill..."

"I'm not a killer, Dad," Stacie told him. "Argent's right on that part. I wouldn't have really done it. But the thing that used to be inside of me. That freak..."

Stacie had tears in her eyes, thinking back to all of the things that she had done while being possessed, guilt-ridden and devastated, starting to cry.

Sheriff looked at her sadly, feeling the emotional pain that she had felt, pulling his daughter into his arms. "It wasn't your fault."

Stacie sniffled, trying to hold herself together. "I know."

Stacie then seemed to feel the knife wound in her stomach from Void!Stiles, holding onto Sheriff to keep standing, but he didn't see it as anything other than his daughter needing to hold onto him after all the things that she had been forced to do.

Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital - Hallway

From the flies' POV, we could see the flies flying through the hallway, looking for their victims of choice. They saw Macey putting a folder into a clipboard on the wall.

¤°¤•¤°¤  

Isaac's Hospital Room

Natalie walked in to check on her brother. She had a sword slash mark in her arm from the fight with the Oni earlier that night.

Two flies flew inside. 

One flew into Natalie's sword slash mark in her arm, into her body.

One flew into Isaac's burn marks on his arm, into his body.

Isaac's machine started to beep faster. He woke with a gasp. His eyes were glowing gold. 

Natalie looked at him in surprise and relief. "Izzy."

Isaac looked at Natalie, his eyes still glowing. "Nattie. Natalie."

McCall House - Scott's Room

(Song:) Stay - Rihanna feat. Mikky Ekko 

Scott and Tara walked in.

Scott put his helmet on his dresser.

"Did you really have to bring me here?" Tara asked.

"You said it yourself, Tara," Scott told her. "You were gonna kick Derek's ass for outing you. Derek's hurt right now, so I'd figured I'd let him heal before you killed him." Tara smirked, looking away. "I could loan you a T-shirt if you want."

Tara shook her head, starting to take off her leather jacket. "I'm okay."

"Take the bed," Scott told her. "I'll sleep in the chair."

Scott walked toward the bed, sitting down.

Tara set her jacket on the floor next to the door, turning to face Scott, unconvinced about his reason on bringing her here, tilting her head, crossing her arms over her chest. "Why'd you really ask me to come, Scott?"

"Uh, I figured I could convince you to stay," Scott admitted. Tara nodded once, looking away. "Instead of you leaving again." Tara looked at him. "Tara, did you really believe I'd let you leave trying to protect me without a fight?"

"No," Tara answered. "Did you really believe I'd let you sleep in the chair?"

Scott chuckled. "I've woken up plenty of times in this thing. It's okay. I know you've been sleeping in a chair at the loft, at the underground hideout, and at the old Hale property." Tara tilted her head up, narrowing her eyes. "Yeah, Derek told me about all of that."

"Yeah, Derek tells you a lot of things he shouldn't be telling you," Tara told him.

Scott chuckled. "Don't worry about it, Tara. But you have to admit you've forgotten what a bed feels like." Tara didn't answer. Scott stood, walking toward her, taking one of her hands. "Fine, Tara. How about this?"

Scott led Tara to the bed, lying down on the left side.

Tara hesitated, not sure what to do.

Scott nodded reassuringly.

Tara exhaled, lying on the right side of the bed, facing him.

To Tara, it felt so weird to be this close, but at the same time, natural. Like she was supposed to be there.

Scott was worried and troubled.

"I know what you're thinking about," Tara told him. "And it's like Stacie said at the loft. We saved her. We can save Stiles. All we have to do it the same thing that we did at Eichen House."

"That's if we can find Stiles and take down the Nogitsune long enough for us to, Tara," Scott told her. "We got lucky with Stacie."

"We'll figure it out," Tara told him. "We always do." Scott smiled a small smile. Tara nodded, content, turning around on her other side, facing away from him. Scott gently laid his arm around her waist. Tara felt strangely protected. Safe. Just fine with the moment she was in. For the first time in forever. Tara closed her eyes, content. "This part of your plan to convince me to stay?"

Scott smiled a small smile. "Maybe. Is it working?"

Tara chuckled barely, smiling a small smile. "Maybe."

(Song Ends)

Two flies flew up to the window behind Scott and Tara's heads, but they couldn't get inside.

  ¤°¤•¤°¤ 

Argent Apartment - Foyer 

Allison and Chris walked in.

"Dad," Allison told him. 

"Hmm?" Chris asked.

"Were you really gonna pull the trigger on Stiles?" Allison asked.

"To be honest, I'm not sure," Chris told her.

"I'd check the firing pin," Allison told him.

"You removed it?" Chris asked.

Allison nodded. "And the gun that Stacie had pulled on you? It didn't have it's firing pin in it, either. I had it removed, too. And she knew that. She wasn't going to shoot you."

Chris chuckled. "That's why the women are the leaders in our family." He put a hand on Allison's cheek. "Get some sleep, sweetheart."

They walked separate ways.

  ¤°¤•¤°¤    

Ari's House - Foyer 

Ari and Adriana walked in. 

Adriana looked at her worriedly. "Ari, are you gonna be okay?"

Ari stopped at the stairs, sighing, turning to face her twin sister. "Adriana, when are you going to stop ask me that?"

"When we know for sure that we can save our best friends," Adriana answered. "Just because one Nogitsune is out of Stacie does not mean she's safe."

"We'll figure it out, Adri," Ari told her. "We'll figure everything out. We have to."

"It's been a long day, Ari," Adriana told her. "A long, stressful day, and Stiles took more of our power. Natalie and Allison are coming over in the morning, but we need to get some sleep. Regain... well, everything."

Ari nodded in agreement.

  ¤°¤•¤°¤ 

Hallway   

Ari walked upstairs toward her room, stopping when she saw that her bedroom door was ajar, looking confused, knowing that she had closed it before she had left that day. She was suspicious and on guard.

  ¤°¤•¤°¤ 

Ari's Room 

(Song:) Like Real People Do -Hozier 

Ari walked in.

The light was off.

Isaac was sitting on the bed, healed. He wasn't acting like himself, distant and distracted.

Ari was incredibly relieved to see him okay, walking closer. "What are you doing here?"

Ari sat next to Isaac on the bed.

"I thought I'd come and see you, Ari," Isaac answered just as quietly.

"You didn't just walk out of the hospital, did you?" Ari asked.

"It's okay," Isaac told her. "I feel a lot better." Ari laid her hand on the side of his face where the burns had been, but they were completely gone now. "All healed. Thanks to you, Ari. You and Adriana. You made the pain go away."

"It wasn't just because of us," Ari told him. "The only way it works if you started to heal by yourself."

"You still helped," Isaac told her softly.

"What about Natalie?" Ari asked. "Natalie was so worried about you."

"Natalie will be here," Isaac answered. "Adriana's having Natalie and Allison over, remember?" Ari didn't answer.  "Are you okay?"

Ari gave him a small, tired smile. "I am now. But giving you the alarm code was probably a bad idea."

"Maybe," Isaac told her.

Isaac and Ari looked at each other for a moment in relief, smiling small smiles, kissing softly and slowly, sweetly. They pulled away, embracing. Ari closed her eyes in relief.

(Song Ends)

Hale Loft - Living Room   

Void!Stacie was paralyzed on the couch.

Derek was setting up a chess game on the table.

"What are you doing?" Void!Stacie asked. "Shouldn't you be more worried about healing from the Oni's swords than playing a game of chess?"

Derek was annoyed, refraining from looking at her. "Back in his room, Stiles had a board with everyone's name on a piece. If this is a game to both of you, then I need to figure out the plays."

Void!Stacie smirked. "Not so easy to do when it's a game without rules."

Derek turned to look at her in annoyance. "What does that mean?"

"You're dealing with the kind of spirits that have lived too long to play by human rules," Void!Stacie told him. "Fox spirits that chose to become human. That's something we can do only after about 100 years. If a Kitsune is an annoying pain in the ass, then a Nogitsune, which is a dark Kitsune, is a freaking disaster, and you're dealing with two of them. Besides, chess is a human game. It's not the game of Japanese foxes."

"Well, I don't see you helping," Derek told her.

"Why would I help?" Void!Stacie asked. "The only reason that you keep feeding me Kanima venom, the only reason that you're keeping me alive right now, is because poor, delicate Stacie can still feel everything that I feel, because we used to be in the same body, and she came out of this one. You're afraid that if you kill me, you kill the girl you love." She chuckled. "It's ironic, though. You've had two girlfriends that have gone completely psycho. Kate Argent, and Jennifer Blake. Neither of them were too fond of Stacie. It's funny because even Stacie Stilinski went a little bad. But that was because of possession, which neither of your ex-girlfriends can say for themselves. What's that saying? I think you can make the good girls go bad."

Derek was getting even more annoyed and irritated, turning away. "Shut up."

"You knew that if you let yourself get caught up with her, that she would get hurt in the end," Void!Stacie told him. "Too bad the reason that she got hurt this time is because you weren't there to protect her from getting possessed by a homicidal fox. You were willing to sacrifice your own happiness to protect poor, delicate Stacie, watch her from behind glass."

"Stop talking," Derek told her.

"The girl never stood a chance with you, Derek, and you know it," Void!Stacie told him coldly, darkly.

Derek turned to face her, growling angrily.

Void!Stacie smirked, laughing evilly in amusement, able to start to move her fingers.

Derek realized that she had been trying to distract him long enough for her to regain control of her body, picking up a syringe of Kanima venom, walking closer to inject it into her neck, paralyzing her once again. "Nice try."

Void!Stacie sighed. "You love her, and I love how much you hate me. Maybe when I get free, I can tear her apart in front of you." Derek turned away in anger, glaring. Void!Stacie saw a fly soar into the room, knowing where it came from and what it would do, smirking. "Derek..."

"Shut the hell up," Derek told her. "You say one more word about Stacie--"

"But this isn't about her," Void!Stacie told him. "This is about you." Derek looked at her in confusion, still angry. "I know what you saw when you were in her head. I know what I made you see to distract you in an attempt to stop you from getting to her. The fire that killed your family and everything that happened because of it since. Peter killed your older sister Laura, and now he's obsessed with you and Tara. To the point where he can't stop obsessing over who his niece and nephew are with, whether they're psychotic Darachs, sweet, innocent anchors, or pure True Alphas. Tara and your other sister Cora, they nearly died in the fire with the rest of your family. And it's all because of the Argents. You never got justice for your family, Derek." The fly flew into the wound on Derek's shoulder and back, making him groan in pain. Void!Stacie looked at him in amusement. "Don't you want real revenge?"

Derek's eyes glowed blue.

Void!Stacie smiled, starting to laugh.

Day Two

Day - Beacon Hills High School - Boys' Locker Room

Danny and Ethan walked inside.

"I gotta say, you definitely did well out there," Danny told him. Ethan stopped at the sinks. "You'll definitely make the team next spring." Danny stopped at his locker. "I mean, if you want to."

"I want to," Ethan told him.

Danny put his things into his locker. "Everything okay?"

Ethan nodded. "Yeah. I mean..." He turned to face Danny. "I kind of don't know if this is the place for me. For us."

Danny closed his locker.

There was a fly in the water in the sink.

Ethan used the water to wash his face. 

"I mean, is this you leaving school again?" Danny asked, sitting on a bench. "Is it about your brother?"

Ethan looked up darkly. "Yeah. It is, actually. It's always about my brother, isn't it?"

"You all right?" Danny asked.

Ethan pulled his shirt over his head, tossing it down. "I think I'm just going to take a shower."

Danny looked down. "Okay."

Ethan walked toward the showers, stopping at the wall, looking at Danny. "So are you."

(Song:) This Electric Night (Dubstep Remix) - Lizi Kay

Danny looked up in surprise, but was very agreeable. "Okay."

Danny stood, pulling his shirt over his head, tossing it down.

They walked into the showers.

On the Road - Lydia's Car   

Lydia was driving.

Aiden was in the passenger seat.

Woman: (on GPS) "Turn right onto Lincoln Road and continue for half a mile."

Aiden sighed. "You at least going to tell me where we're going?"

"I need to check on something," Lydia told him.

Aiden found a note, reading from it. "Who is, uh, Mal-e-a Tate?"

"It's Ma-Leah," Lydia corrected, taking the paper from him. "And you don't need to worry about it."

Woman: (on GPS) "Turn right onto Harmon Street and continue for a quarter mile."

"Well, I'm actually a little worried we're totally lost," Aiden told her. 

"Why do you think that?" Lydia asked.

"'Cause you just made your fourth right," Aiden answered. "And four rights make a circle."

"I did not," Lydia told him. "Did I?" She sighed. "It's a brand new car. The GPS was fine before." 

"Well, maybe the GPS would work better if it was on," Aiden told her.

Lydia tilted her head at him. "What?"

(Song Ends)

Lydia looked at the dashboard to see that the GPS was not on, and that Aiden was right. She was unsettled deeply, pushing a button repeatedly.

Aiden looked at her in confusion. "Lydia. Are you okay?"

Lydia started to panic. "I need to stop. I need to pull over right now."

Lydia drove into a parking lot.

"Lydia?" Aiden asked. "Lydia. Lydia, stop!"

  ¤°¤•¤°¤ 

Parking Lot    

Lydia and Aiden got out of the car, running toward where Void!Stiles was lying on the ground.

A fly flew into Aiden's ear.

Ari's House - Foyer 

Allison put her bag next to the door, walking toward Adriana and Natalie.

Natalie was looking at the bag quietly. She wasn't acting like herself, distant and distracted, more so than since Boyd had died.

"Natalie?" Adriana asked. "Natalie, you okay?"

"I'm fine, Adriana," Natalie told her.

"Okay," Allison told them. She looked at Adriana. "Adriana, you got anything to eat?"

"Yeah," Adriana answered. "Let's go."

Isaac walked downstairs to grab the bag by the door.

  ¤°¤•¤°¤ 

Kitchen   

Adriana and Allison walked in.

Adriana opened the fridge door to pull out things to make sandwiches. "Mom's out for the day, going grocery shopping, but here's what we have." She turned away from the fridge. Natalie appeared in front of her with a stun gun from Allison's bag, forcing it into Adriana's stomach three times, making her drop the stuff in her hands and fall to the floor. Allison stood in shock. Natalie shocked her with the stun gun before she had time to react, either. Adriana groaned in pain. "Oh, Natalie, what the hell are you doing?" 

Adriana tried to stand.

Natalie took Adriana by the wrist, handcuffing it to the fridge door. "Getting you out of the way, Adriana."

Natalie handcuffed Allison to the counter.

  ¤°¤•¤°¤ 

Ari's Room   

Ari was just waking up. She saw that Isaac was standing by her dresser with Allison's bag in front of him. "There you are. What are you doing over there?"

Isaac looked at Ari through the reflection of the mirror in front of him. "Ari, did you know Allison came here last night? She had a whole bag of her weapons over here."

"Adri told me she was coming over last night," Ari answered. "Allison usually keeps them in the guest bedroom. Why were you in there?"

"I wasn't," Isaac answered. "Allison left them by the front door. But I thought her new code was about protecting."

"Most of them are non-lethal," Ari told him.

Isaac held up one of Allison's knives. "This looks pretty lethal to me. But maybe she should keep them. There's still a few of us out there that aren't so quite non-lethal." Ari slowly sat up, propping her elbows on the bed to look over the blanket covering her. "Like the other twins."

"I thought we were going to give them a second chance," Ari told him.

"They don't deserve it," Isaac replied.

"Things are different now," Ari told him. "It doesn't have to be like that anymore."

"I had a feeling you'd say something like that," Isaac told her, walking toward the door.

Ari tossed the blanket aside, trying to get up. "Isaac, wait." Her feet were chained to the bed at the bed post. She was in shock that he would do something like this. "Isaac!"

¤°¤•¤°¤

Kitchen

Adriana and Allison were still handcuffed. They could see down the hallway where Isaac and Natalie ran toward the door.

Adriana struggled against the cuffs, still healing. "Hey! Natalie! Isaac!"

"Guys!" Allison told them.

Natalie and Isaac ran out, leaving.

Adriana looked up at the cuffs chaining her to the fridge door, pulling on them until they broke.

¤°¤•¤°¤

Ari's Room

Ari grabbed one of the chains cuffing her to the bed with both hands, tearing it apart to break free one ankle. She took the last cuff, tearing it apart, breaking free.

  ¤°¤•¤°¤ 

Kitchen   

Adriana broke the cuffs handcuffing Allison to the counter.

Allison looked at her in confusion. "What the hell's gotten into them?"

Adriana shook her head. "I don't know."

Hale Loft - Living Room 

Void!Stacie was still paralyzed on the couch. She was starting to move.

Tara and Aiden carried Void!Stiles to the couch. 

"The couch, put him on the couch," Tara told him.

They put Void!Stiles on the couch next to Void!Stacie.

"This is crazy," Scott told them. "He needs to be in the hospital."

"Remember what happened the last time either of us went to the hospital?" Void!Stacie asked in amusement.

Tara pulled Void!Stiles' shirt above his wound to look at it clearly. "Doesn't look like he's bleeding. I think he might even be healing."

"You mean healing like we heal?" Aiden asked. Tara nodded. "That's good, right?"

"For him, yes," Void!Stacie answered. "All of you?" She smirked. "I'm not so sure."

Tara pointed at her in annoyance. "Shut up."

"Should we be calling Stacie and the sheriff?" Lydia asked.

"Their dad has his hearing today," Scott told them.

"And if Stacie felt this and she's able to move, she'll be finding us," Void!Stacie told them.

They glared at Void!Stacie.

Void!Stacie smirked.

  ¤°¤•¤°¤ 

Sheriff's Station - Sheriff's Office    

Sheriff stood across his desk from Raphael.

Raphael hung up Sheriff's ringing phone. "You've got some priorities to attend to, Sheriff."

"McCall, trust me when I tell you, you don't have a clue about my current priorities," Sheriff told him.

"You don't show up to this preliminary hearing, you'll be out of a job," Raphael told him. Sheriff scoffed, opening his desk drawer, pulling out his gun and badge. "Why are you bringing those?"

"In case I'm turning them in," Sheriff answered, walking away.

Raphael sighed.

¤°¤•¤°¤

Hale Loft - Living Room

Void!Stiles and Void!Stacie were still on the couch.

Scott, Tara, Lydia and Aiden stood in front of them.

Stacie ran inside.

"So when are we killing them?" Aiden asked.

"We're not killing them," Stacie answered.

They turned to face Stacie.

"At least not until we know how to save Stiles and that killing this impersonation of Stacie won't kill the real Stacie," Tara agreed.

Stacie walked toward them.

Lydia looked at her in relief, pulling Stacie into her arms. "Oh, thank God."

Stacie returned the embrace.

Void!Stiles was starting to wake.

Void!Stacie could move a little more.

Scott injected Kanima venom into Void!Stiles so that he wouldn't be able to move when he woke completely.

Void!Stacie reached out to grip Aiden by the throat, making him gasp for breath, smiling evilly, laughing.

"Get her off of me," Aiden told them. "Get her off of me."

Tara and Scott stepped closer, pinning Void!Stacie to the couch.

Stacie injected Void!Stacie with more Kanima venom before she had complete control of her body back, making her let go of Aiden and stop moving.

"I'm getting really tired of Kanima venom," Void!Stacie told them.

Void!Stiles chuckled in amusement.

Aiden growled, stepping forward.

"You know how they say the twins get a feeling if the other one's in pain?" Void!Stiles asked. "Either set, actually. The Martins, then you and your brother." He looked at Stacie. "Sort of like the talent Stacie has being the anchor for four different people. Oh, but, wait, Ari feels the pain that Adriana feels. You feel the pain Ari feels. So, when Adriana gets hurt, you can feel it too, because you feel the pain that Ari feels, and she feels Adriana's pain. I mean, it makes sense in the most unlogical way." He looked down at his healing stomach. "Did you feel that? The feeling and tearing of a dagger through bone, muscle and veins?" Stacie didn't answer, looking down. "At least you know that you won't lose that anytime soon. But you?" He looked back at Aiden. "You didn't lose that talent, too, did you? Oh, I hope not. You're gonna need it." No one answered. "Okay, I'll give a little hint. Ethan's at the school."

Scott looked at Aiden. "Go.".

Aiden walked out, leaving.

Void!Stiles laughed an evil laugh, watching him go. "Oh, I hope he gets there in time. I like the twins." He looked at the others. "Short tempers. Homicidal compulsions. Even Ari and Adriana. If one gets too dark, both of them change completely. So unpredictable. All four are a lot more fun than you bankemono trying to save the world everyday." 

Void!Stacie mocked a gasp, looking at Tara. "You're not like them, though, are you, Tara? No, you're just a little girl with raging anger, trust and abandonment issues from a screwed up life, aren't you, Tara? I mean, it makes sense. You had to watch almost your entire family except your brother, your sisters and your uncle burn to ash." Tara made her expression unreadable, clenching her fist, trying to calm down. She looked like she was trying not to hit Void!Stacie. Void!Stacie looked at the clenched fist, smirking, taking that as an invitation to keep going. "A nine year old trapped in a burning house. Derek knew who set the fire, who killed your family and tried to kill you, Cora and Peter, but he didn't tell you, which was actually the reason you didn't trust him at all for the longest time, am I right?" Tara didn't answer, taking a deep breath to try to calm down. "You thought Cora died. Peter killed Laura. Derek killed Peter." Scott tried to tell her to stop. Tara started to walk away, but Void!Stacie kept going, overriding his voice, making her stop. "How does it feel, hmm? How does it feel to not trust or to hate the remainder of your non-existent family?"

Tara turned to face them, punching Void!Stacie in the face, making her head turn to the side.

Void!Stacie laughed.

Void!Stiles smirked.

Stacie put a hand to her cheek. "Ow."

Tara looked at Stacie. "Sorry."

Scott put a hand on Tara's shoulder to calm her down.

Tara turned away.

Void!Stacie chuckled evilly. "There's the old Tara that we know and love. But love's making you weak. Or is it making you confused? Like your own little World War III, going from stone cold lifelessness to being whatever it is you are now, the battle between heart, soul, mind and body raging on and on and on..."

Tara turned back to punch her again.

Void!Stacie laughed.

Lydia stopped Tara. "Whoa, hey, hey, Tara, Tara. No, no, no, don't."

Tara took a deep breath to calm down.

Void!Stiles chuckled, looking at Stacie. "Tara's got a really painful right hook, doesn't she, Stacie? The kind of hit you'll know no matter what."

Stacie knelt in front of her possessed brother. "This isn't you, Stiles."

"It is now," Void!Stiles told her.

Void!Stacie laughed.

Stacie glared at her, standing. "So, you brought something to paralyze their bodies. You got anything for their mouths?"

"I do," Tara answered, glaring at the Nogitsunes, turning to grab a role of duct tape from the table, ripping off two pieces to put over their mouths.

Void!Stiles shouted through the tape.

Void!Stacie giggled through the tape hysterically.

City Hall - Hearing

Sheriff was sitting in front of a board.

"As a reminder, Sheriff, we're just here to talk," a woman told him. Raphael was standing nearby. The woman placed out a small pile of files next to a large pile of files. "We want to review both the successes and the failures."

"Which pile is which?" Sheriff asked. They gave him a look. Sheriff sighed. "Sorry I asked."

  ¤°¤•¤°¤ 

Hale Loft - Living Room   

Void!Stiles and Void!Stacie were paralyzed on the couch.

Scott, Tara, Lydia and Stacie were talking across the room.

"How much longer do you think we have?" Stacie asked.

"I wish I knew," Tara told them. "But we're almost out of the venom. We have to do something soon. I think we were grossly underestimating the danger here. They might be paralyzed, but it still feels like they've got us right in the palms of their hands."

¤°¤•¤°¤

Argent Apartment - Foyer

Chris walked toward the door, on the phone. 

Allison's voice was on the other line. "Isaac and Natalie took off. Adriana, Ari and I tried to catch up, but they had a head start. Ari and Adri are trying to get a lead on their scent now to follow their trail, but they made it difficult."

"I'm on my way," Chris told her, hanging up, pulling out his gun, cocking it, putting it away, opening the door to reveal Derek outside. Derek was not himself, and he looked sweaty and sick. "Derek, you all right?"

Derek walked in. "I need to show you something."

  ¤°¤•¤°¤ 

Study    

Derek and Chris stood at the table.

Derek let Talia's claws fall onto the table. "Do you know who these belonged to?" Chris shook his head. "These claws are all that was left of my mother. After your psychotic sister burned her and the rest of my family alive."

Chris knew that Derek was not acting like himself and that something was wrong, reaching for his gun.

Derek punched Chris in the face hard enough to make him fall unconscious.

¤°¤•¤°¤  

City Hall - Hearing    

Sheriff sat in front of the board.

"Is there anything that you would like to say on your own behalf, Mr. Stilinski?" the woman asked.

"As far as I know, it's still Sheriff until you relieve me of this position," Sheriff told them. He sighed, shaking his head. "And if you do decide to relieve me of said position, then get to deciding. Because this whole hearing crap is a waste of time."

Sheriff stood, turning to leave.

"I have a few words of my own," Raphael told them.

Sheriff stopped, sighing sarcastically. "Fantastic."

Raphael looked at the board. "Let me make this as short and succinct as possible."

  ¤°¤•¤°¤    

Beacon Hills High School - Hallway

Danny and Ethan walked out of the boys' locker room.

"So, can I tell Coach you're trying out for the team?" Danny asked.

"I'll think about it," Ethan told him.

"Sounds like a yes to me," Danny told him, walking away, leaving.

Ethan watched him go, coldly.

Aiden was standing at the double doors behind Ethan. 

Ethan sensed him, dropping his bag to the floor. "What?"

"Trying out for the team?" Aiden asked.

"Why not?" Ethan asked, turning to face him.

Aiden walked closer. "You have no idea what's going on right now, do you?"

"Why should I care?" Ethan asked. "Scott's never gonna trust us. Natalie's never gonna forgive us, and if Natalie can't forgive us, we can't expect any of the others to, either. You see the way they look at us? Like dogs that bit the neighbor. One more little incident, and they're either going to let us go or put us down."

Angel was down the hallway, starting to walk around the corner, holding her skateboard.

"I'm starting to think the same thing about you," Aiden told him, letting his hand fall to his sides and his claws grow.

Angel saw this, hiding behind the wall before they saw her.

Ethan looked at Aiden. "See? That's what I'm talking about." They started to circle each other. "I'd probably be in their pack by now if it wasn't for my psychotic brother. The one who has to kill everything in sight."

"Careful, Ethan," Aiden told him. They started to circle around each other in the different direction. "You're currently the only thing in my sight."

The twins growled at each other.

Ethan grabbed Aiden by the throat.

Natalie and Isaac arrived.

Isaac shot them with tasers, shocking them, making them fall. He put the gun on his shoulder. "I guess this is the part one of us says something witty." He punched Aiden in the head. "I'm not witty. You got something, Natalie?"

Natalie walked closer. "Just a burning desire for..." She kicked Ethan in the head. "Revenge."

Angel was still standing down the hall, seeing this happen, turning to hide behind the wall.

Hale Loft - Living Room

Void!Stiles and Void!Stacie were still paralyzed on the couch, tape over their mouths.

Scott, Stacie, Tara and Lydia were standing nearby.

"So, we have a plan?" Lydia asked.

"We're gonna do the same thing that Adriana did to help bring Stacie out of her subconscious," Tara answered. "Someone's going to have to go inside of Stiles' mind to bring him out of that body and into a new form." 

Lydia looked at them in confusion, opening her mouth to speak.

Stacie shook her head. "Don't ask. It was disgusting."

"I've been trying to call Ari and Adriana, but they haven't been answering," Scott told them. "And I don't know how to go into someone's mind without hurting or killing them."

"I'll show you," Tara told him. "I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone." Scott seemed only slightly relieved, sighing. "But you're not going to do it alone."

"What do you mean?" Lydia asked.

"Remember when Adriana said that she needed help from someone she knew could get through to Stacie to get her out of her mental prison?" Tara asked. "We need the same thing for Stiles. Someone has to go in there with you."

Tara looked at Stacie.

Void!Stiles and Void!Stacie followed her gaze to Stacie.

Scott and Lydia looked at Stacie, knowing that Tara was right, sighing.

Stacie looked between them, sighing. "Seriously, Tara? I mean, Tara, come on."

Beacon Hills High School - Coach's Office

Natalie was digging through Coach's desk. "Come on, Coach, you gotta have a lighter." She found one finally. "I'm gonna burn it down for Erica, for Boyd." She took the cloth over the alcohol bottle. "For everyone." She lit the cloth on fire. "I'm gonna burn it. I'm gonna burn it."

¤°¤•¤°¤ 

Boys' Locker Room 

Natalie walked out of the office into the locker room.

Isaac pulled an arrow out of his shoulder.

Natalie looked at him in confusion.

Kira arrived, using her sword to pull the cloth away from the bottle that Natalie was holding, tossing it aside, aiming the sword at Natalie, holding her arm toward her.

"Nice sword," Natalie told her.

Natalie dropped the bottle, making it shatter, stalking closer to Kira and Adriana.

Isaac walked closer to Ari and Allison.

Allison held her bow and arrow, using the bow to push Isaac away.

Kira swung her sword to slash Natalie across the cheek with it, making her head turn to the side.

Natalie looked at Kira and Adriana, already healing.

"Isaac," Ari told him.

"Ari," Isaac replied.

Adriana pushed Natalie away from Kira, into the wall. "Natalie."

Isaac and Natalie turned to face them, shifting, letting their eyes glow gold, their canines and claws grow.

Behind them, Ethan and Aiden stood.

Angel was in Coach's office, pulling Allison and Kira into the office.

Adriana looked nervous. "Ari.... Maybe we should do a little recon, Ari."

Adriana pulled Ari back with them.

¤°¤•¤°¤ 

Coach's Office 

Angel closed the door, pushing the desk in front of it, turning to look at Adriana, Ari, Allison and Kira. "Was that a good idea, Ari?"

"Probably not, Angel," Ari answered.

"Thanks for calling us and letting us know where they were, by the way, Angel," Adriana told her.

Angel nodded.

Isaac and Natalie turned toward Ethan and Aiden. The twins both started to attack Isaac.

"They're not gonna kill each other, are they, Angel?" Kira asked.

The twins pushed Natalie into the window, shattering it.

"I think they're gonna try," Angel told them.

Angel sighed worriedly, looking toward where her skateboard was lying on the desk.

 Hale Loft - Living Room

Void!Stiles and Void!Stacie were paralyzed on the couch, duct tape over their mouths.

Lydia and Tara moved Void!Stacie over to a nearby chair.

Stacie sat on the couch next to Void!Stiles.

Scott stood behind them. 

Tara walked toward Scott, helping him line up his claws perfectly on the back of Void!Stiles' neck. "You remember what you need to do?"

"Stacie and I find Stiles and bring him back out," Scott answered.

"Right," Tara agreed, lining his claws perfectly on the back of Stacie's neck. "But it's not gonna be exactly the way it was with Adriana, Derek and Stacie. It's gonna be different because it's a different mind with a different trickster. But the only thing that we do know for sure this time around is that he's still gonna try to trick you in an attempt to keep you away from the real Stiles."

"We're running out of time," Lydia told them. "The Kanima venom's almost gone, and it will wear off on them soon. We have to do something now."

Stacie sighed, nodding. "Yeah." She took a deep breath. "Do it, Scott."

Scott nodded. He looked forward, letting his eyes glow red, stabbing his claws into the back of Void!Stiles and Stacie's necks, making them both wince in pain. They all went into a trance-like sleep state.

Eichen House - Room  

Stacie and Scott woke up restrained to the two beds in the room.

Chris was tied to a chair.

Derek was going through a bag, finding a can of lighter fluid.

"Derek?" Chris asked. Derek doused him in the gasoline. "Okay, listen. Listen to me. Whatever's gotten into your head, this isn't the way to deal with it."

"You burn my family, I burn yours," Derek told him. He tossed the now-empty bottle down, sitting in front of him. "In fact..." He took out a lighter, lighting it. "I'll burn the whole building down around you."

Chris blew the lighter out.

Derek grabbed his chin angrily, letting him go, backing away.

"That was Kate," Chris told him. "You know I had nothing to do with that." Derek lit his lighter again. "I'm not your enemy, Derek. I'm not Tara's enemy. Not anymore."

Derek nodded. "Yeah, you are. You and Allison. Kate nearly killed Tara in the fire, but do you remember when Allison nearly killed Tara on the night that we fought with Jackson? When Tara hadn't done anything. Which is why..." He held the lighter toward Chris, smirking. "I'm not gonna light this yet." He chuckled. "I'm not." He closed the lighter. "We're going to wait until Allison gets home. And we're going to let her watch."

Chris started to struggle, screaming in frustration.

Sheriff's Office - Sheriff's Station 

Sheriff and Raphael walked in.

Sheriff closed the door, looking at Raphael in surprise. "You just saved my job."

Raphael nodded. "Probably."

"Why?" Sheriff asked, walking toward his desk, sitting on it.

Raphael turned to face him, crossing his arms over his chest. "Two reasons. One, I don't think Sherlock Holmes could figure out half the bizarre crap happening in this town." Sheriff put his badge on. "I mean, this place is literally the Bermuda Triangle of homicides, disappearances, and strange occurrences."

"I can't argue that," Sheriff told him. "What's number two?"

"Kicking you out of a job is not why I came back here," Raphael told him. "It was an excuse to stay."

"You stalled the impeachment," Sheriff told him. 

"That's right," Raphael told him.

"Because you want to talk to Scott," Sheriff told him.

Raphael nodded. "That's right."

"You did me a huge favor today," Sheriff told him, standing. "Let me do you a small one. Tell him. The next time you see him, just tell him everything."

Raphael looked sad and somber, nodding in agreement.

Stiles' Mind Space

Night - Eichen House - Room

Stacie and Scott were still restrained, strapped to their beds.

Stacie looked at Scott with an are you serious look. "Do I actually need to remind you that you're a Werewolf?"

"We're in Stiles' head," Scott told her.

"And you're a supernatural creature with supernatural strength," Stacie replied. "Break free."

Scott pulled and pulled until he broke free.

Stacie sighed in relief.

Scott looked at Stacie, smiling a small smile.

¤°¤•¤°¤ 

Later 

Scott broke Stacie free.

Stacie rubbed her wrists, looking around the room. "I know this isn't real, but I still hate being here so much."

"I'm sorry you had to go there," Scott told her.

"I'm out now, aren't I?" Stacie asked. Scott looked around the Eichen House room again. "You know what I mean."

"What now?" Scott asked.

"I don't know," Stacie told him. "This is my first time in someone else's head."

Scott looked at the door. "Just stay behind me."

Stacie nodded.

Scott walked to the door, opening it. 

Stacie followed. 

As soon as Scott stepped out of the room, the door slammed shut.

"Scott?" Stacie called loudly. "Scott!"

Stacie hit against the door, feeling hopeless, giving up, realizing it was useless. She turned to face the room, seeing that the beds had disappeared.

Glass started to trickle down from the ceiling to the floor.

Glass surrounded Stacie, raining down around her, slowly turning, reflecting light around the room. (slow motion)

All of the pieces of glass on the floor levitated, turning to aim directly at Stacie, soaring toward her.

Stacie put up her arms, knowing why that looked familiar.

When Kali had tried to use Stacie as a shield from Jennifer.

Adriana: (voice over from 3.12 Lunar Eclipse) "No!"

A blur ran toward Stacie, tackling her out of the way.

¤°¤•¤°¤

Night - Hale Loft - Living Room 

Stacie stopped rolling. She was kneeling on the floor with two pieces of glass in her left shoulder. She was holding a gun in her hand, and her left wrist to her chest. She was in the clothes she had worn in the fight against Kali and Jennifer in 3.12 Lunar Eclipse.

Jennifer gripped Stacie by her throat, pulling her up from the floor. "Now I know why he loves you."

Jennifer turned into the mummified monster, Rhys!Nogitsune.

Stacie watched in shock and disbelief.

Rhys!Nogitsune spoke in a slow, deep voice, drawing the words out. "You fight back. Stacie."

Scott and Tara stood in front of the wall of windows, kissing, making out heavily.

Scott pulled away. "Tara? What was that?"

"Shh," Tara told him.

"I thought I heard something, Tara," Scott told her.

"It's okay," Tara told him. "You're with me. Everything's fine."

Tara continued to kiss him.

Void!Stiles, Scott and Stacie were still in the trance-like sleep state.

Stacie had blood trickling down her nose.

Void!Stacie was sitting in the chair, paralyzed, tape over her mouth.

Lydia and Tara looked at Stacie in confusion.

"Look at that," Lydia told her. "Do you see that? She's bleeding." She knelt in front of Stacie, looking at Tara. "Tara, what's happening to her?"

"I'm not sure," Tara told her. "This didn't happen to Adriana or Derek." Void!Stacie giggled against the tape over her mouth. Tara pointed at her in annoyance. "You shut up. Lydia, try to communicate with Stacie. Try to get her to listen to you."

"Why me?" Lydia asked.

"Because she wouldn't be able to hear me," Tara answered.

Lydia nodded, placing her hands on Stacie's shoulders. "Stacie? Stacie, can you hear me? Stacie, you are stronger than this. Okay, you need to concentrate. Stacie." She covered her mouth. "I can't--she can't hear me."

Blood dripped from the corner of Stacie's lips.

"Then get her to hear you," Tara told her.

"How, Tara?" Lydia asked desperately.

"Scream," Tara told her. "Lydia, scream her name. That'll be the only way she can hear you."

Lydia took in a deep breath, Banshee screaming Stacie's name. "Stacie!"

The version of Lydia that had been in the loft that same night during the lunar eclipse, when she had been wearing the blue dress with her hair pulled back, appeared, Banshee screaming her name. "Stacie!"

Stacie held the gun in her hand, shooting Rhys!Nogitsune in the shoulder, making him let go. She landed on her feet, backing away, still shooting him until the gun stopped working, jamming.

Rhys!Nogitsune stalked closer.

Stacie threw the useless gun to the side, grabbing the other gun, but it jammed too, glaring at Rhys!Nogitsune, using her sleeve to wipe the blood over her nose and lips away.

Lydia was still Banshee screaming her name.

Stacie turned around, running away. (slow motion)

Stiles' Mind Space/Scott's Hallucination

Day - Hale Loft - Living Room

Tara and Scott were still standing in front of the wall of windows, kissing, making out heavily.

Scott was confused by the way this fake Tara was acting, momentarily forgetting that this wasn't real. "What are you doing, Tara?"

"I'm doing what you've been trying to convince me to do," Tara told him. "I'm no longer running. You wanted me to stay. So, I'll stay. It's okay. Don't worry."

Tara wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him deeply.

Scott turned to where he was standing where she had been and she was standing where he had been. "Hold on. Tara, this isn't you."

"What?" Tara asked. "What do you mean?"

"This isn't you, Tara," Scott told her. "Tara, this isn't real. This is a trick. It's a trick, Tara."

Tara looked angry and appalled, screaming. "No!"

Scott turned around, running away. (slow motion)

Bardo 

Stacie ran inside, standing alone, looking around, seeing that the room went on and on forever. She was back in her clothes that she was wearing in present day.

Scott ran inside, standing alone, looking around, seeing that the room went on and on forever. He recognized Bardo from 3.12 Lunar Eclipse. He looked around, seeing Stacie, running toward her. 

Stacie looked down the way.

Scott followed her gaze.

The Nemeton was so far away. Stiles and Rhys!Nogitsune were sitting on top, playing the game of Go.

Stiles was losing.

Reality 

Day - Beacon Hills High School - Hallway

Ari, Adriana, Angel, Kira and Allison were getting ready to go back into the boys' locker room to face the twins, Isaac and Natalie. Angel held her skateboard, Kira held her sword, and Allison held her crossbow as weapons.

 "Remember, try not to kill them," Allison told them.

"I was just going to try to stay alive," Kira replied.

Adriana tilted her head. "That works too."

Angel, Allison, Kira and Adriana looked at Ari. "Ari? Ari."

"You guys ready?" Ari asked.

Allison, Kira and Adriana answered together. "No."

Angel ignored the negative response. "Let's do it."

Stiles' Mind Space

Bardo 

Scott and Stacie ran closer to the Nemeton, but the closer we got, the farther away it seemed.

"Stiles!" Scott told him.

"Stiles!" Stacie called, waving her arms to get his attention. "Stiles! Stiles, over here!"

Stiles couldn't hear or see either of them.

Reality

Day - Beacon Hills High School - Boys' Locker Room

Kira swung her sword at Ethan, cutting his chest.

Ari spun to kick Isaac into the lockers, making him fall to the floor.

Natalie lunged toward Adriana. Adriana caught her by her shoulders, pushing her to the floor.

Aiden pulled an arrow that Allison shot him with out of his shoulder.

Isaac and Natalie stood.

Angel used her skateboard to push Natalie back into Isaac to make both fall to the floor.

Ethan and Aiden cornered Allison.

Kira looked at her worriedly. "Allison!"

Kira threw her sword.

Allison caught, swinging it to force both of the twins back.

Natalie tried to attack Kira from behind. Kira ducked. 

Angel spun her skateboard in her hands, using it to hit Natalie in the head hard enough to make her fall. (slow motion)

Angel was surprised that she could use that kind of strength, looking at the skateboard in her hand.

Kira looked at her in surprise. "Angel? Angel."

Ari, Adriana, Angel and Kira backed away from Natalie, Isaac, Ethan and Aiden and toward Allison.

Kira held Allison's bow and arrow, aiming at Ethan.

Allison was holding Kira's sword, aiming at Aiden.

Angel was holding her skateboard.

Adriana spun to kick Natalie's legs out from underneath her, making her fall to the floor. She held her hand to Natalie's throat to hold her against the floor.

Isaac tried to slash into Ari. Ari ducked, putting a hand on his chest and the other on his shoulder, pushing him into the lockers, pinning him there.

Aiden and Ethan growled at Angel, Kira and Allison.

Argent Apartment - Study 

Chris was still tied to his chair.

Derek stood behind him at the desk. "Why shouldn't I kill you? How many of us have you murdered? You're not my ally. You're not Tara's ally. You're a hunter."

"You're right," Chris told him. "I am a hunter. Trained before I could even speak, and trained others. Do you know what the first lesson we teach is? We take our children, and we bind them in a chair just like this. Then we wait for them to get out. Most of them, it takes hours. Others? Seconds." He flipped the chair back against the desk with enough strength to make the wooden chair fall into splinters, breaking the chair and freeing himself. Derek turned to face him, shifting, letting his eyes glow blue, his canines and claws grow, growling. Chris grabbed a gun from beneath the desk, standing. Derek growled, jumping over the desk to stand next to him. Chris aimed his gun at his head. "I don't want to kill you, Derek. Don't make me kill you. Please."

Stiles' Mind Space

Bardo

Scott and Stacie were still running closer, and it didn't work.

Stacie put her hands on her knees, breathing heavily.

It was like Stiles didn't know they were there, or where they were.

Stacie realized something, looking at Scott. "Ari. Stiles is apart of your pack. Just like me."

"What?" Scott asked. "What do you mean?"

"He's human," Stacie told him. "So am I. But both you and Ari said that we're still part of your pack, right?"

"Yeah," Scott answered. "Yeah, of course."

"So what did Stiles and Ari say is the way that wolves signal their location to the rest of the pack?" Stacie asked. "Ari told us this before, remember? Ari showed us."

Stacie smirked, knowing Scott would remember what both Ari and Stiles had said about this subject.

Scott shifted, letting his eyes glow red and his canines grow. "They howl."

Scott took a deep breath, howling loud and clear for Stiles to hear.

The whole room shook.

Stiles heard him, looking over to Stacie and Scott.

Stacie smiled a relieved smile when he saw them.

Stiles looked at Rhys!Nogitsune, pushing the pieces of the game completely off the board, upending the game. (slow motion)

Rhys!Nogitsune was in a rage, roaring furiously.

Reality

Day - Beacon Hills High School - Boys' Locker Room

Ethan, Aiden, Natalie and Isaac stopped fighting and growling, shifting back to human.

Adriana still had Natalie pinned to the floor.

Natalie seeped into unconsciousness.

Ethan, Aiden and Isaac fell unconscious.

All four of them had blood oozing from each of their bodies, from their ears, mouth.

Ari, Angel, Kira, Allison and Adriana were confused and grossed out. "Natalie?"

Ari knelt next to Isaac to check on him. 

Adriana knelt next  to Natalie to check on her. "Ari? Ari, what the hell happened to them?"

Ari shook her head. "I have no idea, Adriana."

Adriana smirked slightly. "Bet you're not used to saying that, Ari."

Ari tilted her head. "Shut up, Adriana."

Adriana chuckled sarcastically, clearly not sorry, just trying to lighten the mood. "Sorry, Ari."

Ari sighed, shaking her head. "Adriana..."

Allison, Angel and Kira chuckled. "Adriana."

Chris still had his gun aimed at Derek's head.

Derek stopped fighting, shifting back to human. He had black oozing from his nose. He fell unconscious.

Chris was confused.

Hale Loft - Living Room 

Void!Stiles, Scott and Stacie came back to consciousness, gasping.

Stacie stood, walking past Void!Stacie toward Tara and Lydia.

Tara and Lydia helped steady Stacie.

Scott walked toward them. "Did it work?"

Void!Stiles pulled off the tape quickly, pulling out a long, shady colored cloth out of his mouth, falling to the floor. He kept pulling the cloth out of his mouth until it was all on the floor. He gasped for air, sitting back against the couch.

A hand slowly reached above the cloth, wrapped in it. What looked like Rhys!Nogitsune pulled himself out of the cloth onto the floor, to his feet. He started to pull the cloth away from his face.

"The same thing happened to Stacie," Tara told them. "That's Stiles."

Scott, Stacie and Tara walked toward Stiles, taking the cloth off of his face.

"Stace?" Stiles asked.

Tara looked around. "Scott."

They saw that Void!Stacie, Void!Stiles and Lydia were gone.

"Where are they?" Stacie asked. No one answered. Stacie raised her voice. "Where are they?" Still no one answered. Stacie looked to the door. "Lydia!"

Scott ran toward the door. "Lydia! Lydia!"

Stiles looked shocked and disconcerted, horrified.

From 3.23 "Insatiable", in the tunnels of Oak Creek, Void!Stacie and Void!Stiles faced Lydia.

Allison: (voice over) "Next on Worlds Colliding (Teen Wolf)"

"What are the voices telling you?" Void!Stacie asked. Lydia ran away down the tunnel. "Do they say that Stiles and Stacie are dying? They are, you know."

"They're dying," Void!Stiles told her.

From 3.23 "Insatiable", in the study of the Argent Apartment, Derek and Chris were talking.

"We should be out there looking for them right now," Derek told him.

"Because if they can do something like this..." Chris trailed off.

"They're stronger than ever," Derek finished.

"Which means they'll be coming for us," Chris told him.

From 3.23 "Insatiable", in the woods, Adriana was standing alone. She could hear round being chambered, looking around. 

Gunshots were fired toward Adriana.

Adriana ran away, leaving.

From 3.23 "Insatiable", in the Sheriff's Office, Sheriff, Stiles and Stacie stood together.

Ari and Scott stood nearby.

"Is it over?" Sheriff asked.

"Not yet," Ari answered.

From 3.23 "Insatiable", in the woods, Ethan and Aiden were shot and injured. Derek and Tara ran toward them to help them.

From 3.23 "Insatiable", outside Oak Creek, Scott looked horrified.

An Oni slashed toward Kira. Kira raised her sword to block the move.

Tara was running closer. She slowed to a stop in shock.

Adriana was kneeling on the ground, being slashed into by Oni on either side of her.

Ari was shifted, letting her eyes glow purple, growling.

From 3.23 "Insatiable", in the tunnels of Oak Creek, Stiles, Stacie and Lydia were running.

From 3.23 "Insatiable", in the tunnels, Lydia was holding onto a gate. Void!Stiles stood right behind her threateningly.
