Hey guys! This is my first Teen Wolf fanfic so please be nice. Mystic force is one of my favourite seasons, both the American version and the Japanese version (Mahou Sentai Magiranger), and I'm really excited to explore this story! Some teen wolf characters may make an appearance later (Kate and Peter). This takes place during season 4, but season 4 never took place, but some events still took place like Scott biting Liam, Derek being de-aged and Kate returning.
Also, Alison, Erica, Boyd and Aiden are alive, Issac and Jackson never left
Stiles sighed as he parked his beloved jeep in front of the woods, just 3 days ago, he had left Beacon Hills to go to Briar Woods to learn how to control his spark so he could become Scott's emissary. He had asked Deaton to teach him, but he said that there was a better teacher here who could teach him more.
Stiles didn't really mind, sure, he had to go to a different school but it was the best for now. After being freed from the Nogitsune, he had been suffering from nightmares. Nightmares where he had killed Allison and Adian, Scott had bit Alison to save her life and her father had accepted that his daughter was now a werewolf. Aidan had been more fortunate (that was putting it lightly), Boyd, Erica and Ethan had arrived just in time to save him and was now all three of them were part of the pack along with Danny, who had been told after he stumbled across Ethan half-shifted, he had freaked out a bit but accepted that werewolves existed and was currently dating Ethan.
The others had forgiven him but he couldn't forgive himself. He had almost killed one of his closest friends and couldn't shake the painful look on her face when 'he' had stabbed her. He needed time away from them to heal. Luckily his mom had a brother who lived here who was able to take him in, at least until he finished the year. They used the excuse that his dad had been kidnapped by a serial killer and Stiles had been suffering from nightmares and that's why he was staying with his uncle Toby. It was weird seeing him again, Stiles hadn't seen or spoken to any of his mom's relatives since her funeral, it wasn't his choice, his dad had refused to speak to any of them. Bless Toby's soul that he agreed to take Stiles in.
It had been hard to say goodbye to the pack, but they had understood why exactly he had to leave, leaving Scott was the hardest, they always had a hard time staying away from each other. So hard that the best punishment Melissa could give Scott was 'no Stiles'. He had already unpacked his stuff at his uncle's house was now meeting the teacher Deaton recommend.
It just so happened that the teacher lived in the woods, the woods that were apparently 'haunted'. Stiles had to bite back a laugh when he first heard that, he had dealt with Werewolves, Banshees, Kanimas and much more. A simple ghost would be a breeze. Taking a deep breath, Stiles walked into the woods, he had only walked for a few minutes when he suddenly felt a surge of magic. Glancing around he noticed that the trees around him were had lost their colour, from a light brown to a dullish darker brown, he looked behind him and saw that he did not recognise any of the trees behind him. Instead of being straight and long, all of the trees were wavy and leafless. He reached out in front of him and felt a strong surge of magic as the space in front of him felt like jelly.
"a protection barrier?" Stiles whispered in awe, protection barriers were very advanced magic, and for someone to make a barrier as large as this, had to be very powerful. But it also made him cautious, someone was using the barrier to protect something or someone. Someone dangerous. He continued wandering through the woods, keeping an eye out for any sign of a path or cottage, unfortunately, he didn't find anything. What he did find were 5 young adults (they looked older than him so he could call them adults); 2 girls and 3 boys, wandering around the woods.
"Hey!" a guy with red hair and wearing a blue jacket and shirt called "are you the old man's brother?"
"What?" Stiles asked as a girl with black hair and a brown skunk stripe in her hair and wearing a blue jean jacket hit the red-haired boy
"Chip! He's way too young to be an old man's brother! He's young enough to be his grandson!"
"Well, you never know! I mean…the creature could have used a de-aging spell!" the red-hair protested
"You read WAY too many comics," a man wearing a Flannel said rolling his eyes
"Hi, I'm Maddison," the other girl said, she had black hair and wearing a brown jacket
"Stiles. And I'm uh…looking for someone" Stiles said, a little wary around them. From the way they were dressed and talked, they were ordinary people and had no interaction with the supernatural before.
"Stiles?!" the last male who had black hair and wearing a leather jacket scoffed and let out a chuckle "what kind of name is that!"
"it's not my real name. My real name is a mess of letters and accents, which no one can pronounce. Trust me, it's easier if you call me Stiles"
"Well, nice to meet you, Stiles. I'm Chip, and that's Vida and Xander" the red-haired, now known as Chip pointed to the girl wearing the jean jacket and the guy wearing plaid
"I'm Nick," the last male said, "why is your friend out here?"
"Apparently they live out here, what are you guys doing here?" Stiles asked them
"We're looking for an old man's brother. Apparently, he got kidnapped by a strange creature!" Chip said, strangely excited. Reminding Stiles of how he was when he found something interesting, like finding the other half of a dead body.
"mind if I tag along? I might find my friend" Stiles asked the group, knowing that if he was with them, he could (hopefully) keep them out of trouble, the group looked at each other before Vida shrugged
"why not?"
"Stiles...you're Toby's nephew aren't you?" Xander asked him as they walked
"yeah, you know my uncle?"
"We work in his shop" Vida answered "he's a little on the weird side, but an awesome boss none the less"
"I actually haven't seen him in ages" Stiles confessed, looking down sadly
"how come?" Chip wondered, Stiles shrugged but refused to answer
"So Stiles, where are you from?" Maddison asked, breaking the awkward silence
"I'm from a little town called Beacon Hills. It's in California" Stiles answered, glad for the subject change
"quite the trip" Nick said "did you come all this way just to see your friend? You don't look older than 15"
"I'm 17" Stiles corrected "and no, I'm staying with my uncle. But it's just until the school year ends"
"how come?" Xander asked, but before Stiles could say anything, Chip suddenly yelled
"look out!" everyone turned to see a cloaked figure standing behind them everyone gasped as the figure walked towards them
"oh great, why is it always me that runs into trouble?" Stiles muttered to himself as Vida asked if anybody wanted to run
"already tried, but my feet just aren't moving," Xander said when suddenly strange creatures that looked slightly like demons appeared and surrounded the group, Stiles suppressed a shudder and the small voice at the back of his head, the creatures had reminded him too much of the Oni, except they were less deadly. The figure waved a wand and summoned a few brooms which latched onto a person a flew them away, Stiles glanced back and saw the figure cast another spell which got rid of the creatures.
Stiles could feel his spark reacting to the magic, but it felt different to when Deaton or other witches used magic, the group eventually arrived at a tree with a dragon's head.
"and this is why nobody enters the woods" Xander panted to Nick as he stood up
"where are we?" Madison asked
"I call it Rootcore" a voice said, everyone turned to see the mysterious figure walk towards them, everyone stumbled back into the dragon's mouth and appeared in a strange room with tables, crystal balls, chairs, broomsticks and a strange large book on a pedestal.
"I thought it'd best if you were brought here," the figure said from the top of the staircase
"hi! I'm Xander, really nice place you got here. Really…" he paused and tapped the table next to him "woody"
The figure took off her cloak to reveal a woman in a white dress and flowing red hair, she waved her arms and the lights turned on to reveal several bottles on shelves and a monitor of some sort.
"when the six of you stepped into the forest, you stepped into a magical dimension," the woman said
"a parallel dimension outside of briarwood?" Chip said in awe and Stiles had to admit, he felt the exact same way. And he had been running with a werewolf pack for over a year! Plus, his best friend/brother was a true alpha! "do we live in a great city or what?!"
"20 years ago," the woman said as she suddenly appeared next to them, startling them (except for Stiles, who could sense her, sort of) "there was a great war in our world. Dark magic had conquered our realm" Stiles suppressed a shudder, he knew how dangerous dark magic could be "and was about to enter your dimension when we finally defeated them and sent them back to the underworld, but at a great cost. The gate was sealed with a powerful spell, however, during the recent earthquake, a crack appeared in the gate and evil has slipped through"
"R-Remember me? X-Xander?" Xander suddenly interrupted, his voice slightly shaking "I was just wondering what does that have to do with us?
"it could mean the end for both our worlds," the woman said and climbed the steps, the others looked at each other uncertainly, except for Stiles who quickly followed her. Knowing that if it was the supernatural behind this, then he would try and help.
"Please, none of us is buying this fairytale," Nick scoffed, stepping forward
"This is not a fairytale," Stiles said, his voice strong and the woman gave him a strange look before facing nick
"he is right. What I tell you is what happened"
Nick rolled his eyes "hey!" Vida said, "let's hear what she has to say, we can leave after that" she then walked to where stiles and the woman were who were by the book on the pedestal
"The Xenotome. In it is everything we do not know" an image suddenly appeared along with some writing
"What language is that? I don't recognise it" Maddie said
"It's an ancient language used by druids and magic-users long ago, its mostly forgotten now in favour of Latin which is easier to read." Stiles supplied and glanced up at the astonished and sceptical looks "sorry, I tend to babble on"
"he is correct, although I am surprised that a magic user as young as you knows this much about ancient magic," the woman said looking at him more closely "are you the young man that Deaton said would be arriving?"
"yep! That's me!" Stiles said and the others stared at him
"so, what does the book say?" Nick said impatiently
"it says that 'when evil arises again, 6 mystical warriors from the human realm will step forward.'" She then turned to face them "you are those warriors. YOU are the Power Rangers!"
Chip let out an excited "nice!" while the others looked less certain, especially Stiles. He had looked up to the Power Rangers when he was younger, but after Scott got bit by a Werewolf, they didn't seem all that impressive anymore, especially since they only took care of the big stuff.
"look, excuse me, but there must be some mistake!" Xander said "how are we going to defeat pure evil?! Most of us have just finished high school. Except for him" he pointed to Stiles who frowned at his comment, sure he was still in high school but he had been dealing with this kind of stuff longer than them.
"these are your magic wands," the woman said ignoring Xander's comment, handing out a wand to them each, Stiles looked at his wand. It looked a bit like Harry Potter's wand, but had a black figure at the top, Stiles couldn't figure out what it was, but it looked like a dog of some kind. Suddenly a woman with blond hair appeared from another part of the room and scurried up the stairs
"Udonna!" she called facing the woman before realising they were not alone "oh! Hello, nice to meet you" everyone stared at her, except for Stiles who gave her an awkward wave "excuse me! Udonna!' she said before whispering in Udonna's ear
"you must stay here until I return. Do not go into the woods by yourselves" Udonna instructed them as she stepped back before disappearing, the blonde woman snapped her fingers but nothing happened.
"Why doesn't that ever work? I've practised and I've practised! Nothing!" she muttered
"teleportation is a quite advanced spell, most of the witches I've met can't really do it. Then again, the ones I've met are evil, so I can't really ask them about the spell. But from what I've read, most witches can't do it, if they can, they have to be really advanced to…" Stiles trailed off to see everyone staring at him "..sorry"
"not it's fine! Udonna says that all the time and she's right. But that doesn't stop me from trying! I'm Claire by the way!"
"I like your attitude. I'm Stiles and no, that's not my real name. My real name is far too hard to pronounce so don't even bother asking" Stiles gave her a kind smile which she returned
"Alright, that's it! I'm outta here!" Nick said, throwing his arms up and walking down the steps with the others following him, but Claire stopped him
"no! you can't go! Udonna said you can't go. I know! I'll conjure a spell to freeze you!" she cast a spell, but instead of freezing them, she turned into a sheep. Stiles was mildly impressed, full-body transfiguration tended to go wrong, so for her to turn into a sheep with no problems was impressive. He had managed to do it the first time he tried, but Deaton said it was due to him having spent so much time around shapeshifters that his spark had adjusted to their presence and adjusted. But it appeared that she tended to get her spells mixed up. The others jumped back and shook their heads and Claire bleated. They left their wands by the Xenotome and left.
"don't worry, I'll get them," Stiles said and left the room, making sure he had a tight hold on his wand. Previous experience had taught him never to leave his weapon behind (even if that weapon was a baseball bat), Stiles quickly jogged to catch up with the others, luckily he didn't have to go far as they were staring at the remains of a ruined village. It reminded Stiles of the burnt hale house before it had been rebuilt.
"I should have known you wouldn't stay at Rootcore" Udonna said exasperated as she approached them
"yeah, because teenagers are brilliant at following directions!" Stiles said the others ignored them, save for Chip who snorted
"what happened?" Maddie asked
"Woodland Village was destroyed. Tomorrow it will be another Village" Udonna said as they stepped closer "the darkness destroys everything within their path until they find what they're looking for"
"and what exactly are they looking for?" Vida asked
"me" they stared at her in disbelief "and then they'll go after you"
"hold on just a sec, I never agreed to be a part of this" Nick said
"you don't have a choice," Stiles said and everyone turned to him "once you find out about the supernatural. There's no turning back. You're a part of it whether you like it or not"
"ok, who are you?" Nick shouted at him
"Abominable snowman"
"you oddly calm for someone who has a target on their back," Xander said
"experience" Stiles shrugged
"It is them!" a villager called out, getting the attention of the other villagers "it is them! The protectors are here! Hail the Mystic force!" they all bowed to them and Stiles felt uncomfortable.
"I always wondered what it felt like to be worshipped," Xander said, nudging Stiles bringing him out of his thought, out of the corner of his eye, Stiles caught Vida rolling her eyes. "it's not so bad"
Suddenly a large troll-like monster appeared, scaring the villagers causing them to run as the monster stepped in front of them, blocking them from running. Stiles felt the familiar rush of Adrenaline as the others gasped "ok, that's bad!"
"take out your wands!" Udonna instructed and Stiles held out his wand uncertainly, unfamiliar with the weight while the others shifted uncomfortably
"uh…we kind of them back at the tree" Chip said
"Alright, everyone except for Stiles stands back" the others did as instructed and Udonna turned to stiles "do exactly as I do" Stiles nodded and watched as she brought her left hand to touch her right forearm, before waving it in a circle and thrusting it up high "Magical source, Mystic force!"
Stiles copied her movements, carefully moving his left hand to touch his right forearm, before waving it in a circle and thrusting it up high "Magical source, Mystic force!" Stiles yelled, feeling slightly ridiculous, suddenly he was enveloped in bright light and when it faded, he found him felt wearing a skin, tight black suit made of an unknown material. It was unlike anything he had felt, it felt thin and maneuverable, like Spiderman's suit, but at the same time it also felt thick like it could protect him from anything, a gold belt buckle, gloves, boots and a helmet with the outline of the dog's head, behind him, he could feel the edges of a cape, just reaching his kneecaps.
Next to him, Udonna was wearing a similar outfit, except it was white and had shoulder pads, and she didn't have a cloak. A small snowflake was seen at the top of her helmet and she held a long staff that had a snowflake. "Flurry of snow, White Mystic Ranger!"
"Mysterious as Shadows, Black Mystic Ranger!" Stiles said, the words pouring out of his mouth, behind him, he could hear the surprised gasps of the others.
"now that's cool!" he heard Vida say
Udonna brought her staff down and faced Stiles "follow my lead!" she said before leaping up high and firing a spell at the creature. Stiles reached down to his belt and pulled out a staff, he then lept up high and thought about blasting the creature with magic, to his surprise and delight it worked. A small blast of black energy appeared from his staff and hit the creature, Stiles landed near Udonna.
"not bad, I can see why Deaton recommended you," she said
"Thanks," Stiles said, still amazed at what had just happened, is that how Scott and the others felt after they were bitten?
"lookout!" Udonna called out as the creature swung its hand down at them, they both flipped out of the way.
"Udonna!" Stiles called out, she turned to see more of the demon-like creatures had surrounded the others who were trying to fight, but were unsuccessful
"go help them! I'll take care of the beast!" she instructed and Stiles nodded before running off, he blasted a few of the creatures but there were too many
"I need something to hit them with," Stiles thought, thinking about his bat, when suddenly his staff changed, it suddenly longer and the pointed end split into three, like a pitchfork. "What the he-?" Stiles wondered before shaking his head, he had to rescue the others first, Stiles slashed at the creatures and was more successful at helping the others, but more kept arriving and Stiles found himself struggling "a little help?"
"Remember, in order to use magic, all you have to do is believe in magic!" Udonna called out to them
Unsurprisingly Chip was the first one to use magic, "I believe in magic!" Chip called and suddenly lightning came out from him, hitting the creatures "it works! Guys! It works!"
At Chip's encouragement, the others tried the same thing, saying they believed in magic and vines appeared frim behind the tree Xander was trapped against and defeated the creatures. Water sprouted out of the ground in front Madison and Vida turned into a mini-tornado. Udonna finally managed to freeze the creature and destroy it, when Nick suddenly came flying down the hill and was surrounded by the creatures.
"ok, I believe in magic" he called out but nothing happened, he raised his arms to defend himself as the creatures got closer, but Udonna quickly froze them and Stiles slashed at them, destroying them.
"power down," Udonna said and her suit disappeared in a small flight of light, she looked disapprovingly at Nick as he stood up groaning
"power down," Stiles said and his suit disappeared, as well as the power boost he had been, he didn't really mind though, feeling that power up brought back some bad memories. He had managed to keep them at bay during the fight, but a few times he found himself in flashbacks of the Oni and the Nogitsune and almost had a panic attack.
"well, well," Udonna said, bringing Stiles out of his thoughts as the others gathered around "very nice. You truly are the ones. Are you up to the task? Are you now ready to accept your legacy?"
"Not like I have much of a choice," Stiles shrugged
"oh yeah! Bring it on!" Chip said
"I'm in! I kicked some serious evil back there!" Vida said excitedly
"this is so unlike me, but I'm sticking with my sister," Maddie added, nudging Vida playfully
"someone's got to look after these guys right?" Xander said stepping up and everyone turned to Nick who was rubbing his neck awkwardly
"me? No way!" he said, brushing his jacket "I'm outta here!"
"Are you sure this is what you choose?" Udonna said, stepping towards him
"look, the whole 'I believe in magic' thing? It didn't work for me"
"there's a difference between saying you believe and actually believing" Stiles stated "if you truly believed in magic, it would have worked. But you don't. You said you did, but deep down, you didn't really believe in magic. It's the same thing with test scores, if you don't really believe you're gonna do well, then you not gonna do well. But if you actually believe in yourself and say it out loud, then you're gonna do well" Stiles finished before realising everyone was staring at him. Again. "Sorry," he said, blushing
"Maybe if you try again?" Maddie suggested, but Udonna shook her head
"Stiles is right, Nick truly didn't believe in magic and that's why it didn't work. He is a non-believer. I can do nothing for him. Claire will lead him out of the woods safely. CLAIRE!"
"here I am~" Claire bleated as she trotted out of the trees and Udonna let out a small laugh
"oh, my dear child! When will you get your spells right?" she asked and the others let out amused smiles "lead him safely out of the woods"
"yes, Udonn~a" Claire bleated before trotting off with Nick following her "follo~w me~"
Suddenly a purple circle appeared on the ground and a strange figure appeared. He looked like a knight and was dressed in purple and black armour with gold accents and carrying a sword and shield. Everyone turned to face him as he spoke in a deep voice "you may have defeated my Hidiacs, but you will not defeat me!" he said and unsheathed his sword "Wolf attack!" he called and his shield opened and fired small bursts of flame at them. Stiles quickly threw down a handful of mountain ash and believed it would act as a shield, but the attack was too strong and full of dark magic, and it blasted straight through, but the mountain ash had helped lessen the damage.
"Interesting. A spark" the purple knight said "those haven't been around in centuries. But it does not matter, it is the end for you…"
I'm not sure how old Stiles is in s3, so I'm guessing he's at least 17
