Altered Life:

Deadpools And Such

Chapter 1

Beginnings Of

A New Year

Disclaimer: That's right, boys and girls! This world is back and ready to turn things upside down! I hadn't planned on coming back to this for a long while but well… Let's just say I started feeling a pull to this and here we are! I also hadn't planned on posting this anytime soon but I figured why keep you guys waiting more then you have too. So two chapters for your reading pleasure! And fair warning, Scott probably won't be too likable due to how he's handling his grief over Lenne. Note that certain portions of the beginning of season 4 are pretty much ignored. Or are at least twisted for my own uses. Now… Let's get it on!

Sunday, January 1st, 2012 9:25 PM At The Lacrosse Field

"Brothers and Sisters of Skyrim! We are gathered together upon this night for a single purpose! One where we must return to days of war against the entity known as… EDUCATION!" Roared out Vernon Boyd The 4th to a large crowd of teenagers in the Lacrosse Field of Beacon Hills High.

His words were received by the large crowd in loud as can be responses. Most of them being in a displeased manner that the beast known as school was beginning again after a two week Christmas break. Plus, like Boyd, the group were all dressed in various outfits that would have come out of a LARP fantasy or at the least, Skyrim, since that was their primary basis for where they got their outfit ideas from. "But my friends, so long as we stay unified, it shall not defeat us! For together, WE ARE MIGHTY!" Continued the tall teen of the Hale Pack loudly and gaining cheers in the process.

"Oh brother." Muttered Rebecca 'Harley' Harlowe with an eyeroll a short distance from the large group of questionably sane teenagers.

"Well, you do have to admit, it is kind of funny. I mean, sure, none of us were expecting Vernon and Jackson to end up bonding over the game but its still kinda funny." Kira said in amusement next to her friend as Boyd continued to address the large crowd.

Firing them up even more as he did so. Since the end of the threat of the Nogitsune, the Hale Pack had been slowly bringing back a sense of normalcy to their lives as the days passed on. Though each of them keenly felt the loss of Lenne as she had been a valued member and friend of their little oddball family. But Scott and Locostos however, had felt her loss on a much deeper level due to their own deep bonds of fatherhood, lover, and father of a child where she was concerned. Shortly after Lenne's funeral pyre and Scott's surprise return to being an Alpha after a fight with Ennis, the heartbroken young man had left town as he couldn't bear to be there and not see Lenne anymore but promised he would be back eventually. Locostos had even gone with to ensure he'd be okay and since then, no one had really seen or heard much from them much to Melissa, Kali, the twins, Rafael, and even Kira's concern. Melissa and Kali had been reluctant to allow him to leave but in the end had allowed it as they could see he needed to leave for awhile.

Even coming up with a suitable excuse for his school, saying that the loss of his girlfriend and their baby had proven to be too much for him and that he needed time away to deal with it. The relationship between Cora and Stiles was strained as he had been keeping his distance from her after the Nogitsune and everyone could tell it was hurting Cora a great deal. Even the Fox that had come to end up living with the Argent-Yukimuras hadn't approved and had bitten Stiles several times much to his annoyance. Cora had tried quite a few times to reach through to Stiles but so far, he had yet to allow himself to be reached while he saw Marin Morrell for therapy sessions. Sessions that were pretty much mandatory as no way was his father about to let him deal with his issues on his own. While that happened, Harley and Allison began to slowly drift back to one another much to the other's happiness. Though there had been some worry where Boyd was concerned but all he did was tell Allison not to waste the second chance she was getting or there would be trouble. Something she was inclined to believe him on and said she would try to do her absolute best by Harley.

Which was enough for Boyd as he was smart enough to know that making that into a promise wasn't exactly doable. Kanela, last they'd heard, was excelling in her wrestling training while Erica had chosen to start working with Kira's boss to make their own comic book. Something even Kira herself got to have a hand in and so far it'd been a fun experience. Deaton had surprised everyone on Christmas Eve when he decided to propose to a surprised Talia after years of dating and she'd been quick to say yes much to his immense happiness. Aiden was out in Ojai visiting Abigail and the others who'd gone with Wapun to re-start her family's Pack and Jackson had even decided to go with to visit a certain Redheaded twin and both were due back the next morning for school. Over the time Scott had been gone, Natalie had chosen to run with his suggestion to go after the Sheriff and so far, she'd been having some success as thankfully, he seemed open to the idea. Though Stiles had yet to find out due to his own issues and Jameson thinking he might not be able to handle the idea of his dad dating someone just yet. Especially when said person he's dating is the mother of the girl he used to have a huge crush on until Cora stole his heart. And as for Lydia herself, the genius Redhead was happily enjoying her single time while occasionally flustering Deputy Jordan Parrish.

Who'd taken to making the man blush after meeting him one day while visiting the Sheriff and thought there was potential in the former military man. Potential that would unfortunately have to wait until she was either 18, out of high school, or both. Something her mother and even Parrish himself had declared when Natalie had caught sight of her only daughter flustering the poor man who'd become Jameson's second in command due to how he had handled things when the town had gone bonkers cause of the Nogitsune's influence. Isaac had taken to helping the Skyrim fans out by helping piece together their chosen outfits after Boyd had asked him about it after learning his friend could sew. And in the process, being dubbed as the 'Skyrim Hills Garb Crafter' much to his liking. And much like Kira had mentioned, Jackson and Boyd bonding over Skyrim had been a huge surprise. Especially when the two had had disappeared for an entire weekend, only to be found taking turns playing the game in Boyd's front room and becoming huge fans in the process to the point they decided to get like minded fans involved in bringing the game to life to a certain extent.

"I for one think its awesome, as our time is rising." Added Erica with her arms crossed under her breasts and grinning in amusement.

"Then how come you're not involved?" Wondered Harley curiously.

"Mostly cause I have my thing going with the comic and that takes time."

But time well spent in her view. It helped that Kira's boss wasn't a perv either as otherwise, the whole thing wouldn't be as enjoyable. "Right, right, that makes sense." Replied the Burgundy haired teen and then her eyes widened when she caught the scent of Allison nearby.

Only, her scent was coming from within the crowd of Skyrim cosplayers. "Oh God, how'd Ally get roped into this whole thing!?"

Kira blinked and turned to look at her friend. "You mean you're just now finding out?"

"Umm… Yeah, girl!"

"Oh. Well… Vernon said something about archers being part of the game and well… Yeah."

Erica snickered in amusement at the shocked look on the Burgundy haired girl's face. "ARCHERS! LET LOOSE YOUR ARROWS INTO THE NIGHT SKY!" Bellowed out Boyd.

"Ooh, I think this is the surprise he mentioned having in mind tonight." Said the Blonde in eagerness as Allison and her bunch of archers brought up their bows towards the sky.

"FUSES LIT!" Ordered the archeress and said fuses were quickly lit.

"Wait a minute, what's goin' on exactly?"

That answer would be given moments later when the so called arrows were sent up into the night sky and soon exploded into various colors. Even forming a message saying 'We Are Ready For The Beast That Is Education!' much to Erica's vast amusement, Harley's bafflement, and Kira's surprise. "Umm… Anyone think we should get moving before the cops arrive?" Wondered the Japanese/Korean teen Kitsune curiously and worriedly.

The trio looked at one another for a moment and then hauled ass and it wasn't long before the Skyrim fans did the same as well as sirens in the distance could be heard!

Monday, January 2nd, 2012 7:22 AM Kira's Bedroom

"In this morning bit of news, authorities are still baffled by the fact that 90 Million dollars altogether was stolen from three separate California banks in one night froma week ago. And compared to the absolute bloodbath in a desert in Arizona that was recently found, this guy is of the opinion that the local authorities there would rather be here helping uncover who stole all that Cali money! But hey, at least we can say good riddance to the Biker gang known as the 'Bloodvayne' due to their racist views and the like!"

The reporter continued onwards, completely unaware of the fact that one Kira Argent-Yukimura was practically stuck in a corner of her room. Stuck courtesy of Malia Tate, who'd snuck in through Kira's bedroom that morning while she'd been in the shower and unprepared for the girl. Which, in hindsight, was a bit foolish of her considering the girl had been doing this kind of thing for the last three weeks. "But… You mate! My mate! You and Stiles both my mates." Protested Malia with a frown as Kira, who was in her towel and nothing else, denied any advances once again by the girl who'd been a Coyote for some years.

"Sweetie, I'm your friend, okay? Stiles and I both are just friends with you and not mates."

"Why?"

"Be-Because, Stiles already has a mate in Cora, remember? And you're, you're too young for umm… Mating." Oh where was some kind of helpful intervention!?

Poor Malia's hormones had started firing up three weeks ago and due to the fact she'd been a Coyote, a few things had been a little mucked up in her thinking where her Coyote side was concerned. Gaining an interest in both Stiles and Kira though Malia hadn't really tried anything with Stiles due to certain smells he gave off. Plus, Cora having a word or two with the girl helped make her back off. Some saw this merely as Malia having a crush on the two and attempts had been had to explain it that way instead of her believing it was mating instincts instead. Of course that whole thing was a work in progress unfortunately but Kira was practically a saint for not having chosen to be rude and the like towards Malia in order to get her to leave her be unlike how others might have done in her stead. "But… Me same age as you. So not young at all."

"W-Well, you might be the same age as me, but not the same age mentally because you were a Coyote for years." Explained Kira kindly.

Even if it hadn't of been for the first time either for that matter. A whimper escaped the former full on Coyote as she wanted her mate, darn it! "Shouldn't matter! You smell really good!"

"Th-Thanks but, but it does matter, okay? Plus, I only want to be friends with you."

Malia frowned at her as her would be mate continued to keep a hand on her chest to prevent her from moving closer to her. "Is this cause of Scott?"

"Umm… Yes! Yes it is! Plus, I only like boys when it, you know… Comes to mating!"

Oh God!

Wrinkling her nose at the thought of Scott, the slightly confused Werecoyote made her opinion known of that particular Werewolf. "But he smell like death and other things. Not good. Not good at all. He dangerous." Declared the girl firmly.

"Oh sweetie, he's not dangerous to me or even you. You really should give him a chance." Replied Kira softly in defense of the young man she still loves with everything in her.

And missed greatly and hoped he was doing okay wherever he currently was. A sour look came over Malia's face but thankfully, a divine saving grace from above finally happened to Kira. "Malia! Come feel my stomach!" Called out Noshiko loudly from downstairs even though she didn't necessarily have to do that.

An excited look came across the girl's face and with a yip, she was gone from the room much to Kira's immense relief. "Thank you, mom." Sighed the young Kitsune as she placed her head against the wall and closed her eyes.

Completely ignoring the fact that Allison was in the doorway and smirking in amusement.

11:04 AM

In a yard that could only be described as a junkyard thanks to all the junk littering it could be seen one Sheriff Jameson Stilinski with a frown on his face. Now he wasn't frowning on account of all the crap littered about as he was long used to the sight of it. But rather, he was frowning over the fact that old Louie Grailman had been found dead in his yard and his large and unwashed French Mastiff sitting protectively over his body for who knew how long. And mournfully howling his head off for the loss of his master while making it very clear he didn't want anyone near him or his departed master. Which was why Jameson had been called out to the house as he and old man Louie had been on good terms with one another and as such, he and Costello were on decent terms. Something that the Sheriff hoped he'd be able to use so that Louie's body could be gathered and examined to determine the cause of death. Heaving a sigh, the Sheriff addressed his people. "Alright, give us some room."

Heeding his words, the EMTs, Deputies, and Animal Control employees did as asked while one of the Animal Control workers handed Jameson a dog catcher device. Carefully stepping up to the huge and smelly dog, Jameson called out to him. "Hey there, Costello, I know you're sad over Louie dyin' and God knows I am too, but I'm gonna need you to let my people take him, okay?"

The dog looked at him for a moment but chose to ignore him in favor of keeping his eyes on Louie. Oh yeah, he's gonna make this as difficult as possible.

"Costello, c'mon! I've got some treats for ya in my cruiser if ya come with me!" Tried the man but no cigar.

Sighing to himself as he frowned, he took another step but it proved to not be to the large dog's liking as he turned to give a low growl to warn him off. Making the man stop momentarily to have a stare off with the smelly dog. "I guess its gonna be the hard way, huh?"

The dog didn't reply but to keep staring at him in what was perhaps a challenging manner. A challenge the good Sheriff accepted by quickly wrapping the dog catcher device around his neck and using the stick to keep a good hold on him as the big dog started to fight against being caught. Barking and growling as Jameson held firm. "Stay back, I've got this!" He declared as he backed up while using all his strength to keep ol' Costello from getting away.

"Yeah, I know ya don't like this but I made a promise to Louie I'd look after your smelly butt and I'm gonna stick to it!" And who knew, maybe this would help get that son of his out of that rut of his!

Hell, it might even cheer up Laura since she'd been in a right funk of her own thanks to a Norse woman showing up last week and looking to get revenge on Scott for some old action of his towards her. Her Berserkers were probably the scariest damn things the Sheriff had ever seen and if he never saw another one, he'd be happy as can be. She'd ended up using some magical dust to de-age Laura back to a teenager, even though it had been meant for Scott and to turn him into a baby before hauling ass to find wherever her target was. Prompting Rafael to try and find his son and warn him of the danger. Thankfully, Laura still had her memories but she was none too happy with the situation! Braeden was torn between laughing her head off and wanting to put a shotgun round into the Norse woman for de-aging her girlfriend. Who was decidedly not so legal at the moment for her much to their combined dislike! Not even Deaton knew how long the effects would last but promised to keep looking into it while Talia joked it'd be fun to raise Laura again.

Everyone watched on as the Sheriff finally (and perhaps amusedly) got the smelly dog into his cruiser with Parrish's help, finally allowing for the EMTs and Deputies to start their work without a dog blocking their efforts.

9:32 PM, Stilinski Household

A somewhat tired Stiles made his way into his bedroom after a first day back at school and a shift at the music store. Not paying attention to much as he made his way into his room and completely missing the fact his room looked a mess more then usual thanks to his going through his bag. Once he had what he needed, he finally realized the state of his room. "What the Hell!?" Wondered the young man aloud as his room was not like this before he left for school for the day!

A low moan was heard, making him freeze momentarily before spotting a hidden lump on his bed. "Malia? Is that you? Cause I know Cora's had a talk about this kinda thing with you."

Though why she had even bothered since he wasn't worth her time anymore cause of the Nogitsune's actions he wasn't sure of. Of course Malia never really ruined a room unless she wasn't happy about something. Another whine was heard and deciding not to waste anymore time, Stiles quickly pulled off the cover and was shocked by the sight of a large dog in his bed! Said dog moved his head and just stared at him. "C-Costello!?"

"WOOF!"

"Uh-uh! Hell no! You! You get out of my bed! Right now!" Demanded the unhappy teenager as he pointed at the doorway of his room.

But the dog didn't move an inch as he just stared at the unhappy human. Seeing this and not liking it, Stiles tried dragging the dog out of the bed but all that succeeded in doing was ripping his bed sheet up thanks to the dog's weight. "Augh! Damnit, Costello! I don't know why your smelly ass is in MY bed but I DON'T like it! So I'm gonna get my dad and he can get a dog catcher in here!"

Costello merely rolled around and made sounds as he did so on the bed. "Grr! DAD!" Yelled out the young man as he left his bedroom.

Completely forgetting at the moment that his dad was at work at the moment. "DAD!"

"WOOF!"

"SHUT UP, COSTELLO!"

"WOOF! WOOF!"

9:56 Brunski Household

In the basement of the Brunski household, Jared Brunski himself could be seen smirking and nodding in satisfaction at the computer screen in front of him. As the assassin known only as 'The Mute' had successfully taken out a particularly old Werejaguar that had kept to himself somewhere in the woods of Beacon Hills. And he wasn't the only one who had made a successful kill that night as the teenaged pair known as 'The Orphans' had done the same as well. "Dad's gonna be SO happy." Muttered the teenager to himself in sick satisfaction.

Because that 90 million was so gonna be put to good use thanks to the Brunski men and their willingness to exploit a few things!

Author's Notes: And thus begins the sequel! I've had the Kira/Malia scene in mind a long while now and I'm glad I finally got to do it. Though I kinda had seen it being more funny in my head so I'm not too sure I succeeded outside of it. Keep in mind however that there will not be any pairings where Malia's concerned. Not until she's grown some mentally and that'll more then likely be awhile. The dog bit was something I had planned to happen a little later in the story but that ended up changing. But I think it works regardless and yes, more then likely, there will be a running Skyrim gag through out the sequel if I can manage it! R and R!
