"Okay, everyone, stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop." Peter says, "We gotta figure out where we are, then we gotta figure out how to find Scott and Kira."

Stiles looks down as his phone rings. He pulls it out confused. "How do I even have service...?" He then answers, "Hi, Dad... Okay, Dad, I know you're angry-"

"Okay, well, when I get back, you can ground me." He says before sighing, "You want me to lie?"

"Lydia- she was at the school when we called Mason to look for her, but now we're not hearing back from either of them. I don't know, Dad. I don't know what I'm doing. You know, I'm just... I'm trying to save my friends." He says, "Dad, if it's one of the Berserkers at the school, you're gonna need firepower. A lot."

Liam holds his hands out as Stiles hangs up and walks back over, "What do we do now?"

Malia grabs his shoulder, "Duck!"

Anna pulls Luisa towards her as a Berserker swings at them. Peter waves them over, "Go back! Get back! Go! Go, go, go, go!"

Braeden looks around as she stands beside Ariane and Derek, "Can you still pull a trigger?"

Derek nods weakly, "Yeah..."

Ariane pulls out a gun from her waistband and places it in his hand, "Stay with me. You're gonna be okay."

Derek chuckles, "It's a mortal wound and right now, I'm feeling pretty mortal."

"I'm not gonna let you die." She says. Ariane and Braeden stand and look around as they hear growling in the distance.

"Yeah, you might just have to concentrate on saving yourselves."

Braeden grabs her gun and quickly rushes off onto a ledge. Ariane stands beside Derek keeping an eye on the area around them and watching Braeden. She watches Braeden look around the corner again before sighing and cocking her gun.

"I don't hear it." Lydia whispers, "Come on."

"No, no. There's only one way out on this side of the basement." Mason says

"I know. But if we don't get out of here, someone's going to die."

"How do you know that?"

"She just does. We have to at least see if he's blocking the exit." Adrian says

Mason sighs before leaning forward. He then jumps back making the girls stand up straighter, "Yeah... He's blocking it."

"Go! Go! Go! Go!" Peter says as they round a corner

"Go find Kira and Scott!" Malia says tossing the sword to Stiles, "Go!"

Stiles huffs before running off with Luisa. Leaving Malia, Anna, and Liam to help Peter fight off the Berserker.

•••

Ariane groaned as she heard Braeden's gunfire cease. Derek could tell she was conflicted, "Go. Help her."

"I can't leave you."

"If she dies, you're by yourself." Derek says, "Please."

Ariane clenches her jaw before she takes a step forward. She stops short when she sees lights. Then a few seconds later, she hears more gunfire. A truck then pulls up on the other side before the door opens and more gunfire rains out. Ariane takes steps back toward Derek as Kate and a Berserker come into her view.

She quickly grabs her gun and holds it up to her as people she recognized from her aunt's group rushed over.

•••

"Scott?" Stiles calls out

"Kira?" Luisa says as she follows Stiles through the pathway. He shines his light around them before he stops. He turns and jumps, "Oh!"

Luisa steps closer to Kira, "Are you okay?"

"It's Scott. Luisa, it's Scott." She pants

"What?"

"The Berserker- it's him. Kate did it."

"What are you talking about?" Stiles says

"She made him into one of them. I don't know how, but it's him. And if they don't know it, they could kill him."

"That's why Lydia's not here..." He says, "They won't know they're killing Scott."

•••

Ariane continued taking steps back as she shot at the Berserker. The gunfire from the others hadn't stopped, but it seemed to only anger the creature further. Two of the men were hit and simply shoved back as it walked toward their gunfire. Ariane's eyes bounced around as she jumped over the rock and landed beside Derek.

"Derek?" She says before her eyes focus on the Berserker again. When he doesn't answer, she looks down at him, "Derek?"

He looks up at her and smiles softly before he lets out a long breath and his head lulls to the side. She sits up, "Derek. Hey, no, come on."

She places her hands on his cheeks as she tears up, "Derek. Derek, please."

Lydia looks around the area before walking up to a bin with bats. Mason frowns, "Are you serious?"

"Very."

"A baseball bat? Against that guy? Or thing, or whatever it is?"

Adrian grabs the other bat, "Our friends are in trouble, and so is Liam, your best friend. My brother. They need us. I'm going for it."

"And yes, with a baseball bat." Lydia finishes walking off as Adrian holds one of the other bats out to Mason.

Lydia freezes up a few feet away from the Berserker. Mason yells out as he runs past her with his bat. The Berserker blocks his hits before flinging him back into equipment. Lydia and Adrian then rush over and hit the creature.

It knocks Lydia's bat out of her hand before tossing her back. Adrian tries hitting it again, but it grabs her bat before choking her with its other hand. Adrian gasps as it picks her up and then throws her back with the other two. She lands on the ground in front of them gasping for air.

"I thought you said it wanted to keep us here, not hurt us!" Mason says

"I think it changed its mind." Lydia groans as Adrian coughs

"Excuse me!" They hear, "Catch."

Lydia quickly catches on and helps Adrian up. The three sit behind a shelf and a few seconds later, a bomb goes off. Lydia looks over her shoulder as the dust clears. The three stand and walk down the hall to meet Stilinski.

"You three okay?" He says

"It was after me." Lydia says, "It wanted me to stay in Beacon Hills. I think this was all some sort of distraction."

"Because you knew they're trying to kill someone."

"Kill who?" Adrian asks

"Scott."
