And Akhaten
Shall Rise!
Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here. I was inspired by the Doctor Who episode 'Rings of Akhaten' for this little story set a month after the events of season 5.
Things had been relatively quiet ever since Theo, the Dread Doctors, and The Beast had been taken care of. Something Scott was incredibly grateful for as it had allowed for the past month to go by without any issues, though the only thing he wasn't grateful for was the fact he no longer had Kira by his side due to the fact she had to leave all she knew to be with the Skinwalkers in order to find balance and control where her Kitsune was concerned thanks to the meddling of the Dread Doctors. And it was highly unclear as to how long that would take. Something that Scott honestly thought sucked a great deal as in a way he felt like he'd lost another girl he loves to the Supernatural. The few times he'd been by the Yukimuras had been somewhat tense in the young man's opinion and he could only hope it lessened up soon before Kira's parents ended up splitting. Though Stiles was of the opinion he was worried for nothing where they were concerned and a part of the young Alpha honestly wanted to strongly believe that. And while things were getting better between him and his long time best friend after a long important talk they had, he couldn't exactly say the same for Stiles and Malia.
As it seemed the two were a little unsure of things where one another was concerned. Something that he had over heard Lydia threatening to do something about if it wasn't resolved soon and it made him shudder a little as he could only imagine what she would do! Heck, probably get Hayden and Braeden involved if she had too in order to get the two to stop being so unsure and get things worked out finally! Hayden had taken to being a Werewolf a bit enthusiastically and had even managed to sneak up on Liam a few times to prank him. Leading to several amusing chase scenes as his first Beta tried to catch his laughing girlfriend. Something that left Scott with a slight pang in his chest as it made him think of Kira and her own laughter. Hayden's sister on the other hand was on the fence about the whole Supernatural deal but considering her encounters with The Beast it made sense to the teenaged Alpha and he'd even offered Hayden a place to stay if she needed it. So far the young girl had yet to take him up on the offer and he hoped she wouldn't have too either.
And currently, he, Stiles, Liam, and the rest of the Cyclones team alongside with Coach Finstock thankfully were on their way to Ojai, California for several days that would lead up to a big game with the town's own Lacrosse team from the Thacher School. Never having been in the area, Scott was honestly looking forward to checking out the place and hoped it would keep him suitably occupied from thoughts of Kira. Of course he hoped whatever it was that kept him occupied wouldn't be life threatening in some way. It also did him some good to get away from the stares he got from several of his classmates who'd seen him fighting The Beast a month ago. Even though several of his team mates had also seen him doing it too but at least with them it wasn't as bad since they were focused on other things. Even if he could tell that they wanted to ask him questions but so far hadn't for whatever reason. Whatever the reasons, he was just glad as he wasn't ready to answer those kinds of questions!
As the fallout from answering them could more than likely lead to bad things and he in no way wanted to be responsible for the potential Hell that would cause! Lost in his thoughts as he stared out the open window, the young Alpha failed to realize that one of his team mates was staring at him curiously. Leaning over to Liam, Bradley Cooperson, one of the ones who had witnessed Scott fighting the creature in the library a month ago asked him what was up with Scott as he looked pretty bummed out. "Oh, yeah… You know Kira right?"
"Kinda hard not too homie." That girl was like cheerful quirkyness personified and always had McCall smiling even at a distance once he spotted her.
Granted, he found it odd that she had seemingly disappeared for the past month now while her parents were still obviously around. He then got a horrible thought in his head. "Aw Hell… Don't tell me that girl is dead!?"
Liam looked at him in shock after that horror filled question came to light. "What!? No! No, God no!" Exclaimed the younger teenager.
"Oh, thank God man." Responded Bradley relieved as the dude definitely did not deserve to lose two girls he cared greatly about to death in a short amount of time!
This got him an odd look from Liam but instead of dwelling too much on it, the young Beta continued on. "Kira's… Well, she had to leave due to a few problems that came up with some family out in Korea and we kinda don't know when she'll be back cause of it. Which seriously sucks as we all miss her."
Some more than others at that even if what he told Bradley wasn't the actual truth but its not like he could really tell him what the actual truth was! Even if their little Supernatural secret was probably the worst kept secret around considering who all saw Scott and later himself fighting The Beast in the library a month ago. Not to mention all the overheard conversations everyone no doubt heard from time to time! Bradley got a speculative look on his face after what he was told and couldn't help but wonder if the real reason Kira got shipped off to family elsewhere was cause she and McCall got pregnant instead of what he was actually told. "Damn homie, I knew them two was real tight but I didn't think they'd get knocked up so soon." The teenager said with a wince and making Liam look at him in shock.
"HUH!?"
"Its cool lil dude, you ain't gotta cover your boy from what happened. Some times s**t happens in the heat of the moment. Hopefully the 'rents won't keep them apart what with the baby comin' and all."
"B-baby!?" What the Hell was this guy talking about!?
Before more could be said however, Coach Finstock blew on his whistle to get their attention. "Alright you wild animals, thanks to a little co-operation between our school and Thacher, we've got some decent living arrangements at the local hotel we're pulling into. Which brings me to my next point, I expect you all to be on your best behavior while we're here until we leave as we don't wanna look like a bunch of nutjobs with no respect for things."
"Wait, why are you lookin' at me for Coach!?" Asked Stiles somewhat indignantly!
"Does pullin' the fire alarm while a known killer is runnin' around the school ring a bell for ya Stilinski? Or I don't know… What you did to my office!?" Chuckles erupted after that.
Stiles however was quick to defend himself. "Hey, that first thing was for a very good reason okay? We thought Barrow was gonna bomb the school alright? And secondly, that's never been proven to be my work!"
Coach just gave him a look that implied he really thought otherwise. "Right, whatever helps you sleep at night Stilinski but one day I will prove you did that!"
Stiles rolled his eyes at the man while everyone else was laughing and grinning in amusement over the whole thing as they pulled into to the hotel they were staying at. Which looked to be rather decent all around. Leaning to his best friend and brother in all but blood, Stiles started to talk. "Let's hope this hotel experience is a lot better then last time's." Muttered the teenager and making Scott nod in agreement as they started to stand up in preparation of getting off the bus.
"Yeah, definitely."
A frown came over the paler boy's face over that response as it hadn't been the first time his best friend had sounded like that over the past month ever since Kira had left. Man, her leavin' has really got him down. I don't know what we can do to help as no one should have to deal with crap like he does. Losing Allison just about shattered him and I'm damn worried he's close to crackin' over Kira havin' to leave… Whatever happened though, he and the others would be there to support him in his time of need.
Elsewhere in Ojai
Elsewhere in the town of Ojai in a building that had long been familiar with the people who used it was two older men with ridges on their cheeks and foreheads, one no longer had hair while the other still had long hair that was halfway from brunette to gray. They were meeting to discuss a matter of great importantance connected to the town they lived in and it had nothing to do with the Lacrosse game that was due to happen. "Omaris, are you certain now is truly a good time to host a sports game when the time is drawing very close for Akhaten to rise!?" Questioned the bald and pale man.
"I am most certain old friend. It is my hope that somehow the good spirits of the game itself will aide us in defeating Akhaten."
"You know Reena is still being rather troublesome with everything." Omaris sighed tiredly at the mention of the teenaged girl who they had been preparing for years to be the one to lull the great Akhaten back to sleep.
But as she grew into her teenage years, the girl began to rebel and even start up an accursed reality series with a small film crew she brought together. Her younger sister Merry was often at odds with her due to their differing views of duty and the like. Something Omaris and a few others had wondered how it had even happened considering how Reena could be and would have figured her to be quite the heavy influence on her baby sister. "I have hope Naru, I have hope she will do the right thing when the time comes."
Naru snorted as he clearly believed otherwise. "Sometimes I think you to be too hopeful old friend."
Omaris grinned. "Well one of us has to have hope as you are too grumpy and jaded to have it."
"Damned right."
Naru didn't want to admit it to his old friend, but he wanted to have hope in this one instance as the time drew nearer to ensure the great Akhaten did not awaken from its deep slumber. For not only would he devour them all, but he would continue to do so through out the world until there was nothing left. What neither he or Omaris knew however is that hope and inspiration had rolled into town on a bus that would help save them all.
