Thoughts on bringing Malia/Micah back for season 4? Leave a comment and let me know what you think! Anyways here's an alternate ending for season 3B Enjoy!
Scott and Stiles arrived at the school on his dirt bike just as Derek, Kira, and Landon arrived as well, "The Argents and Isaac think there is a way to stop the Oni." Scott shared with them as they all gathered around.
"Peter's got the triskele box." Derek shared with them supporting Stiles on his back, "He's gonna meet us."
Landon began to hear some distant whispering. It wasn't the whispering that was bothering him. It was what was being said.
"Landon," Kira asked, snapping him out of his daze. "What's wrong?"
"Something's happening." Landon told them, "I had this sudden rushing feeling, like we're running out of time."
"Yeah." Stiles agreed. She had been getting the same feeling as well, "I kind of got that feeling, too."
At the Sheriff's both the Sheriff and Deputy Parrish were recovering from their attack, "What the hell happened?" The Deputy asked his boss.
"They left." The Sheriff told him as they got from the floor, "They just... They left." They both had received a cut to the arm.
"Why did they let us live?"
"I'm not so sure they did." He confessed as he looked at his cut that still had black smoke coming from it.
As they rushed to the entrance of the school Stiles halted at the door, "Wait a minute," She told them just before they opened the door to the school, "I know what you're all thinking. If this works, it might kill me, too." She said to them plainly. "But even if it does, you have to go through with it." She looked at Scott and Derek, but mainly at Scott. "Stick with the plan, okay?"
"The plan is to save you." Scott told her pointedly. They had fought about it earlier, "That's the plan I'm going with."
When they pushed through the doors of the school they were somewhere else. They found themselves in a snow-covered Japanese Garden. "Oh, this is definitely not part of the plan." Stiles commented.
Back at the hospital Agent McCall wasn't getting much luck with calling a response time. In fact, it seemed like everything had been shut down. Melissa wasn't doing any better. Her breathing was short and the wound on her leg was still bleeding and releasing that black smoke, "Call Scott." Melissa groaned on the floor as the Agent kneeled down beside her, "You need to call Scott."
"You're gonna be all right." Agent McCall assured her remembering back when she helped tend to his wounds.
"That's not what I mean." Melissa said in a faintly breath.
"Melissa, I need to get you out of here." He told her ignoring her protesting look, "I'm gonna help you to your feet, okay?"
"Raf, Listen to me." She told him as he struggled to get her on her feet, but it didn't work so he settled on trying to keep the wound from bleeding any longer.
"You're gonna be fine."
"If something happens, you need to work it out with Scott."
"Melissa-"
"You just need to try again."
"I tried to apologize."
Melissa couldn't help, but roll her eyes at the statement, "He's a teenage boy." She said in a soft tone, "He doesn't care about apologies. He wants you to do better. And he probably wants you to suffer a little." Agent McCall looked at his ex-wife with a look of shock, "Promise me you'll make it work."
"Okay."
"Okay." She said with a smile, "Now let's get out of this elevator."
Rafe then helped her to her feet once again without a struggle this time. As they opened the doors, the hallway was filled with bloody bodies and the screams of the wounded.
Peter approached the main stairs from out of the tunnel that lead to the athletic fields at the school. He sees Stiles sitting on the stairs with two Oni stand higher up and to either side of her. Wordlessly, Peter sat the "triskelion box" on the pavement.
"Oh, look it's Uncle Sketch." She said to him, "Did you bring us a present?"
"I brought two." Peter said in a steady tone as both Ethan and Aiden stepped out of the shadows. All of them had their fangs and claws out.
She had a hint of amusement on her face, "I've heard of an Alpha pack, Peter," She said with a smirk, "but not a pack of former Alphas. It's a little sad, isn't it?"
"What's really sad is how you let a human trick you so many times," Peter said to the Nogitsune, "I don't have to be an Alpha to fight like one."
Peter and the twins roared as the Oni swung their swords and the fight began.
Inside the school, Scott, Kira, Landon, Derek and Stiles found the snowy garden to be real. But they're not alone when the Nogitsune, bandaged and bomber jacketed, entered doing an odd little moonwalk. This time Stiles wasn't alone in seeing the figure.
"Like I promised, Stiles." The Nogitsune called to her, "We're going to kill all of them. One by one." Suddenly the group found themselves surrounded by the Oni as they appeared until they were surrounded.
"What the hell is this?" Scott asked already wolfed-out, "Where are we?"
"Between life and death." The banged Nogitsune told them cryptically.
"Bardo." Landon realized easily.
"But there are no peaceful deities here, Landon." The Nogitsune told him. The Nogitsune then turned his attention on Stiles who was now leaning on Landon, "You're dying, Stiles." He told her, "And now everyone you care about is dying, too."
"What?" Stiles panicked, "What do you mean?"
"I knew about your little spark barrier you placed on your pack. I may not have been able to hurt them personally, but I have other ways."
That's when Stiles' mind flashed to the battle back at Oak Creek where the Oni was able to actually hurt everyone, "The Oni."
"I've captured almost all of the territories on the board, Stiles." It shared from the arch, "The hospital. The sheriff's station. And now the animal clinic."
Deaton was attacked by two Oni. He fought them off, but still ends up getting sliced before they vanished.
"Do you know the ritual of seppuku, Stiles?" The Nogitsune asked her.
"No, and I don't want to." She said back to it.
The Nogitsune ignored her and continued on, "When a samurai disembowels himself with his own sword to maintain his honor, but that's not the cut that kills him." Which made sense considering how Stiles was still alive, but still close to knocking on heaven's door.
"The killing stroke is made by his kaishakunin," This time the Nogitsune met Derek in the eyes, "Who beheads the samurai with his own katana." It pointed easily at Derek, "Derek is your kaishakunin." The Nogitsune said a menacing tone, "I'm going to make your mate kill you, Stiles." It raged at her, "And you're going to let him. Because just like you, they're all going to die. Everyone touched by an Oni's blade. Unless Derek kills you first."
Stiles felt Derek's body stiffen, "Why?" Stiles asked, "Why are you doing this?"
"To win the game." It growled back.
At the Sheriff's station both Sheriff Stilinski and Deputy Parrish remained on the floor, "Keep your eyes open." The Sheriff told him. Deputy Parrish simply nodded before his eyes closed, "Deputy!"
Deputy Parrish popped his eyes opened quickly, "What is this?" He questioned as if he wasn't close to passing out, "Is this poison?"
"Whatever it is," The Sheriff noted the black smoke still coming out his wound, "It's working fast."
Agent McCall managed to get Melissa on a stretcher, "Don't leave him again." She told him, "Promise me?"
"You told me to leave."
Melissa shook her head at the statement, "I told a drunk to get out of the house." She explained to him, "I didn't tell his father to get out of his life. You came back to make it up to him, right?"
"I came back to make it up to both of you."
A fight had finally broke out between the Oni. The garden filled with the sounds of Kira's katana along with both Derek and Scott's growls as they battled the four Oni as the Nogitsune watched, "How is this happening?" Scott asked Kira, "How are we in this place?"
"You're asking me?" Kira asked as she managed to kick an Oni away, "A month ago, I'd never even touched a sword."
Outside the school, Chris, Allison and Isaac pulled up and only see Scott's dirt bike and Landon's car, "Where the hell are they?" Allison panicked.
"The Scott's bike is here." Chris told her, "They have to be somewhere." The Argents looked around the campus, but it was Isaac who could hear what was going on inside the school.
"In the school." Isaac told them, but he could also hear another fight that was happening on the outside as well, "The others are here and it's not sounding to good."
"What should we do?" Allison asked him.
"I don't know," Isaac realized, "That's up to you Allison."
"Me?" She asked in shock.
"You're a leader, just like Scott." He told her, "So lead us." Allison looked towards the school and back at her father and Isaac. She heard a howl fill the air.
"Let's go." She told them.
Back by the main stairs, Peter and the twins were still facing off with the two Oni. Just like the Nogitsune inside the school, Stiles was watching the battle as well. One of the Oni had managed to get a blow on Ethan, who fell to the ground, but quickly recovered, "This can't be real." Ethan told the others as they all were still unable to destroy them.
"Yeah, tell that to them." Aiden told his brother. Peter had one of the Oni by the neck before he broke it. Of course, he knew that he hadn't completely destroyed it, but had managed by them some time.
"You have to get on the box." Peter roared at them, "Someone get on the box!"
As Aiden moved to pick up the "triskelion box" two more of the Oni appeared as they blocked, him, "I hate ninjas." Aiden growled as the trio were now up against four Oni.
At the hospital, Melissa's condition seemed to have worsened as blood appeared on her lips. This cause Agent McCall to panic.
"Hey. Hey, there's blood at her lips." Agent McCall shouted as the chaotic hallway, "What does that mean? There's blood." He tried to whip the blood away, but it seemed useless, "What does it mean?"
Inside the garden, the four Oni managed to get gain the upper hand against Kira, Scott and Derek. Kira lost her katana in the snow, but it was Stiles, who recovered the sword, only she was aiming at it herself.
"Stiles, no!" Scott shouted at his friend. On the sideline the Nogitsune released a growl.
"Stiles." Derek tried as well.
Stiles looked over at Derek, "What if it saves you?" She asked him, "What if it saves all of you?"
"And what if it's just another trick?" Landon countered as well.
Stiles shook her head, "No more tricks, Landon."
"End it, Derek." The Nogitsune directed to him, "Let your mate fall on her own sword." Scott looked panicked at Stiles who had nothing, but a look of determination on her face. "Do for her what she cannot do for herself." The Nogitsune pressed, "Do it like you did for the other one. Be her kaishakunin."
The Nogitsune continued it taunt this time aiming Stiles, "Give up the game." It told her, but while the Nogitsune was taunting Stiles something had caught her attention. In the reflective surfaces of the katana, she noticed a "Business" textbook lying in the snow. Looking from the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a snow-covered classroom desk in one corner of the garden. "You have no moves left." The Nogitsune finished.
"I do." She told him, just as she tossed Kira's sword back at her, "A divine move."
Ethan and Aiden continue to fight alongside Peter, but they were losing ground, "We can't do this, we can't beat them." Ethan realized as he delivered another blow to an Oni. He turned his attention to his brother, "Take the box. We'll hold them off!"
Peter had been struggling with one of the Oni. It's sword was very close to cutting him, when it suddenly exploded into a black smoke. The only thing that remained was an arrow.
"What was that?" Aiden asked.
"Silver." Allison said from the shadows alongside with Chris. From the overpass Isaac back-flipped into the fray, just as Nogitsune/Stiles ran off.
"Isaac, the box." Peter told him, "Get the triskele box to Scott!"
Back in the garden, the strength Stiles had earlier was disappearing and her body continued to shake, "Stop fighting them." She told them, which of course earned her some confused looks, "It's an illusion. You have to stop fighting them." The Nogitsune released a snarl, "It looks real and it feels real, but you gotta trust me, it's an illusion."
The group looked at each other, before Kira sheathed up her blade and Scott and Derek returned to his their normal selves. All five of them faced the Oni.
"We'll be okay." Stiles assured them. They proceed to the double doors as the Oni line up and slash at all of them as they walked toward the doors. Blood filled the snow, but all remain standing and pushed through to the Nogitsune. Scott pushed it back through the door and into the school hallway. They are alone in the school. There's no more snow, no more Oni and no more Nogitsune.
"We're okay." Scott told them. "We're-"
But he gets caught off guard as Nogitsune/Stiles appeared and threw him and Derek into a locker and knocked Kira out. After Nogitsune/Stiles was done with her assault on the wolves and kitsune, she turned her attention towards the real Stiles and Landon.
"This was my game." She gritted at them, "You think you can beat me at my game?" She questioned at them. Landon and Stiles quickly backed away as Nogitsune/Stiles took a step toward them.
There was only one remaining Oni left in the main lot. Chris shot at it with his gun to slow it down, while Allison ready her bow one last time. However, it didn't go as planned when the Oni managed to realize what was happening and slice the arrow in half.
"Get the arrow." Allison shouted, "It's the last one."
Aiden grabbed hold of the arrows and stabbed the Oni with the arrow, but he was also stabbed by the demon's sword in the process. His werewolf blue eyes flickered before the glow leaves them.
"Aiden!" Ethan cried out to his brother as he witnessed the stabbing.
Inside the school, Nogitsune/Stiles was pissed, "Divine move." She ranted at Stiles and Landon, "Divine move. You think you have any moves at all?" She questioned them while still charging at them, "You can kill the Oni. But me?" She snapped at them, "Me? I'm a thousand years old." She yelled at them, "You can't kill me!"
"But we can change you." Landon told her.
"What?" Nogitsune/Stiles said off guard.
"You forgot about the scroll." Stiles told her weakly, "The Shugendo scroll."
"Change the host." The Nogitsune/Stiles realized.
"You can't be a fox and a wolf." Stiles told her.
From behind, Scott appeared catching the Nogtisune off guard and proceeded to bite her on the arm. When he finally lets go, Kira stabbed her through the heart with her katana.
Both Stiles and Nogitsune/Stiles scream. Outside a roll of thunder came over the school as the lights flicker and a fly comes buzzing out of Nogitsune/Stiles' mouth and started to fly down the hall.
Just when it looked like it was about to escape, the "triskelion box" comes out of nowhere and Isaac, holding it and trapped the evil fly inside.
The Nogitsune/Stiles body began to twitch and jerk. Suddenly it stills as it started to dry out and crack like clay, collapsing into a pile of dust on the floor which quickly dissipated to nothing.
Those who had been sliced by the Oni suddenly appear to be fine. Melissa McCall snapped awake. Her wound now shallow and superficial.
Deaton's wound looked like it was healing as he started to fix up the clinic.
The Sheriff and Deputy Parrish stand, just as the wounds disappear. Deputy Parrish gave the Sheriff a questioning look, "Welcome to Beacon Hills." The Sheriff told him.
Stiles had collapsed to floor, but when she woke-up she found herself in Derek's lap surrounded by the Scott, Kira, Landon and Isaac. "Oh, God, I fainted, didn't I?" She joked with them. She looked at the familiar faces, "We're alive." She said as it sunk in, "We all alive?" She asked Scott.
"Yeah." Scott told her with a smile.
"We're okay." She whispered to herself.
Landon suddenly sensed something was wrong and stood up facing the double doors leading outside.
Outside, Ethan has his brother in his arms. Aiden had black goo dripping from the wounded mouth, "Does it hurt you as much as it hurts me?" Aiden asked his twin.
"Yeah." Ethan's voice broke.
"It's okay." Aiden said with a broken chuckle, "Landon never believed I was one of the good guys anyway."
Ethan placed his forehead against his brothers and shushed him. A few seconds later, Aiden died and Ethan released a roar.
In that exact moment, Landon walked out of the school in a daze and released a Reaper scream. When he came to saw the sight before him and turned back is wrapped in Stiles' arms.
Later in Derek's loft, the werewolves, the Reaper, and Stiles comfort Ethan.
At the Argent Apartment, Chris and Allison take a look around before they leave, "Are you sure you want to go?" Chris asked her.
"Yeah, we already talked about it." Allison told him, she has the "triskelion box" with her. Together they walked out the door.
At the school, Ethan and Danny were sitting on the steps, "I'm sorry." Ethan told him as he tried to break-up with Danny, "I just don't think I can stay."
Danny gave him a smile, "Actually, it's okay." Danny told him. Ethan then realized that the tables had turned.
"You're breaking up with me?" Ethan asked surprised.
Danny laughed at Ethan's shock, "I... I like you." Danny told him taking his hand, "A lot." This made Ethan smile, "You're incredibly good-looking. And smart and sweet. And..." Danny struggled, "I…I just don't think I can do it."
Date me?"
"Date a werewolf." Danny corrected him.
Ethan's face turn to more shock, "You knew?"
"Dude, it's Beacon Hills." Ethan gave Danny a tiny smile, before he gave him a kiss and leaves.
In her room, Stiles was clearing off her murder board, "Hey." The Sheriff's voice entered her room, Stiles turned to look at her father, "What're you doing?"
"Just, uh, clearing my head." She told him as she removed more papers.
"You have a visitor."
"Who-" When she turned back to her father she sees Derek standing in the doorframe.
"I'll leave you two alone," The Sheriff told them, "But Derek I expect to have dinner with you the very near future." With that statement, the Sheriff walked away.
When the Sheriff was gone, Derek stepped into her room, "So he didn't shoot you and you got a dinner invite," Stiles noted, "Must be a good sign."
Derek laughed at Stiles' attempt to avoid the question he knew people had been asking her, "How are you feeling?" He asked her softly.
"Better." She told him, "No more sleep-walking, just haunted memories of what I did."
"That wasn't you."
"I know," She struggled, "I just hurt so many people I cared about and-"
I love you Derek's voice echoed through her head, Stiles looked at him in surprise.
"How can you?" She asked, "After everything I've done. All the innocent people I killed."
"I killed people too. Innocent people. People I knew."
"She doesn't count." Stiles told him, the name went unsaid. "I killed a lot more people than you."
"That wasn't you."
"I know," She struggled breaking the eye contact, "I just hurt so many people got hurt or worse and-"
"Hey," Derek cuts her off, "We'll get through this together. Remember you're not alone. You have me and our pack right behind you." Stiles gave him a head nod, but Stiles couldn't find herself to look at him. Derek gently cupped her face and lifted to where she looked at him, "I love you," He told her, "I'll still love you know matter what happens. I meant what I said those months ago. You and me."
"Our timing with these things suck."
"Well," Derek said and pulled her into a kiss, "We have time to fix that."
At the animal clinic Scott was cleaning up when Deaton walked in, "Have you ever heard the term "regression to the mean"?" Deaton asked getting Scott's attention.
"No."
"It's a bit of a technical way of saying things will always even out."
"Like things will always get better?" Scott asked with some doubt.
"More like things can't always be bad."
"So, no matter how bad things get-"
"Or how good."
"They always come back to the middle." Scott connected, "Regression to the mean. I'm not so sure that applies to a town like this."
Deaton lets out a small laugh, "Yes. You might be right."
Stiles and Derek were in the locker room, "It was a dream." Derek told her sitting on the bench with his hands folded, "It was actually... It was more like a nightmare."
"Okay." Stiles said leaning against the lockers, "What happened?"
"It started with these hunters that caught Peter and me after we left Cora. It was a family of them led by a guy named Severo." He explained to her, "They broke into my loft."
DREAM
The Spanish speaking hunters have track Derek to his loft and were once again demanding information, "Now, my friend, you're gonna tell us about la loba." Severo demands once again. He has his gun pointing at Derek and also has three other hunters with him, "Where is the she-wolf?"
"You should just go ahead and kill me." Derek tells him, "'Cause you're never going to find Cora."
"Cora?" Severo asks, "Who the hell is Cora?"
This confuses Derek and the hunter, but they do not get a chance to process each other's meaning. At that moment a smoke grenade flies in and the room fills with gas and the hunters begin firing wildly. They're taken out one by one with the assailant hidden by the smoke. Until finally all the hunters are down and the shotgun toting assailant steps out of the smoke and fires into Derek's gut.
END DREAM
"Who was it?" Stiles asked him.
"There's a lot of myths about how people can be turned into a werewolf. Usually a bite. There's one about rain water." Derek informed her.
"Drinking rain water out of the puddle of a werewolf's print." Stiles acknowledged.
"Also a scratch." Derek added.
"Yeah, but that's only if they go deep enough." Stiles reminded him, but she noticed an expression on his face. She sat beside him on the bench. She placed a hand on his arm, "Derek, if this is all just a dream, why do you look so worried?"
"Because I don't remember waking up." He told her making eye contact, "So tell me. How do you know? How do you know if you're still dreaming?"
"Your fingers, in dreams you have extra fingers." Stiles told him. Derek easily removed the hand Stiles had on him and held them up. There were five fingers and a thumb on her hand. He looked confused before he suddenly had a rush of pain.
Derek was shot in the chest and dropped to his knees on the floor of his loft, "It's real." He gasped from the wound, "You're real."
Out of the smoke emerged Kate Argent, "That's right, Derek." She said with a crooked smile, "And if seeing me is a surprise, watch this." Her face goes all blue, her lips turned black, she grew fangs and her eyes take on a greenish hue.
Across town in her room, Stiles woke-up in a panicked breath, "Derek."
