Later, Micah and Kira finally joined Scott, "She took out the whole school?" Scott questioned with admiration.
"She took out the whole grid." Micah enthused.
However, Kira was the one who still wasn't in full belief with herself, "Look, I failed every single practice try." She told Scott, "This isn't going to work." She remained adamant, "How far can we get without the brownout?"
Scott answered, "The front door."
Kira stared at her boyfriend with his belief, "Scott, we went through boxes of light bulbs." She stated.
"It doesn't matter." Scott assured her, "You can do this." He encouraged her, "The key card won't work unless there's a reboot. And there's no reboot without a brownout." He pointed out, "I know you can do this." He glanced Micah for back-up, "Do you think she can't?"
"I'm the one who's going to be locked in an electrical room with her." Micah voiced in defense, arms crossed. Scott gave him a nudge on his side, "You can do it." He told Kira halfheartedly.
Kira looked among the two, "You guys are all crazy." She told them with Micah agreeing with her, "We're gonna die." She crossed her arms. She indicated down the hall at Stiles and Theo walking down the hall together, "Especially if Stiles is siding with Theo."
Outside in the school parking lot, Stiles stood beside Theo's truck, arms crossed, looking very peeved. Theo walked up with a curious expression with a smile mixed in, "I didn't think you'd actually do that."
Stiles sent him a frown, "I hate you so much right now." She automatically said to him, "Wipe that smile off your face."
"No one said that you had to take my side." He pointed out. Stiles remained silent, "You can't still hate me." Theo answered, before turning to see Scott standing by the doors watching them, "Especially, if I'm trying to help you out with Landon."
"You are the reason he's in Eichen House in the first place," Stiles countered angrily, "I'm just making sure you don't stick your claws where they don't belong."
"What about after?" Stiles gave a cautious look, "What are you going to do after we get Landon out?"
"I'm not going to do anything." She answered simply, earning herself a curious look from Theo, "You said you and Scott's pack are going to have to work together on stopping the Beast." She closed her locker, "Last I checked, I'm not part of his or yours."
Later that evening, at Eichen House, Kira and Micah walked in with a large group of visitors. They hid around the corner from the reception desk, "Please remember to follow visitor procedure." The receptionist told the visitors, "Eichen House has a wide range of patients and we cannot guarantee the safety of those who deviate from the rules."
Parrish drove the van up to the guard shack, "Delivery to the morgue." Parrish explained to the guard on duty.
"I don't see you on the list."
"You heard about the animal attacks, right?" He questioned, "The hospital ran out of refrigerated drawers and Eichen's got the only other up-to-code morgue in the county."
However, the guard was skeptical, "Let's have a look."
"I don't think you want to do that." Parrish warned, "The stench back there almost made me pass out while driving."
"Open the back of the van, please." Parrish sighed and got out of the van, "I'll need to log the names off the toe tags."
"There's significant decomp." Parrish told him, opening the back, "They were found in the county tunnels way past rigor." He unzipped one and the guard nearly gagged in an instant before he could fully write down the name on the tag at the site of one of the bags containing a badly decomposed and smell body.
Parrish moved to open another one, "No, no." The Guard told quickly, "Go, just go."
Once inside the morgue, Scott and Liam unzipped their body bags, "Never again." Liam breathed out, stepping out of his bag only to fall to the floor.
Scott helped him to the floor and looked at his watch, which read 7:15, "Fifteen minutes." Scott told him, "Starting now."
Scott and the others are already inside Eichen House…You know you can turn around right now and join them.
I can't do that. Stiles answered as Theo was leading her somewhere with a blindfold on. Despite having a head start Theo's going to get to Landon first. I can just feel it. Theo helped Stiles with a step-down. There's no way he knows what Valack's doing.
"You okay?" Theo questioned breaking into the conversation.
"I'm blindfolded." Stiles answered as she could feel the surface becoming flat, "My senses don't peak as well as yours do. So no, I'm not okay."
"You haven't shifted yet."
"That's because I'm not in danger." Stiles could practically sense the expression that Theo was giving her, "Yeah, considering the company that I'm in it surprises me too."
"We're almost there."
I need to figure out why's he so interested in him
He probably thinks what we're all thinking. Derek guessed That Landon's got something bigger to do with this.
That maybe he's the only one who can save us.
The blindfold was finally removed and Stiles could finally see. Which didn't do her much good considering how she had no idea where the hell she was in the first place. She did see the familiar faces of Theo's pack, but it seemed that they had a guest hooked up to a machine.
"Blind Alpha." Stiles noticed taking a step towards him, "You must be Deucalion."
Deucalion turned his head at the sound of Stiles' voice, "Stiles Stilinski, the human mated to a werewolf." He recognized, "The girl who challenged three Alphas and managed to survive."
"I thought you had your sight back?"
"It was a temporary fix." Deucalion explained, "Why don't you come closer and I'll explain it to you."
"Actually," Theo said, stopping Stiles from taking a step closer, "We have something that needs to be done before you two start fighting."
Stiles simply stared at Theo, "You're an idiot."
"You should be nice to him, considering how he's helping you out," Tracy commented, taking a stand by Theo's side.
"I am being nice." Stiles answered, eyeing the Kanima Chimera, "Have I stabbed you? No."
Tracy made a low hissing sound, "That's enough." Theo interrupted, "We need to get to Landon before Valack does more harm than good.
Josh pointed at Stiles, "Wait, aren't you part of Scott's pack?"
"Does it look like I'm part of his pack," Stiles answered automatically. No one said anything, not even Deucalion who seemed in to be interested in what was happening, "Now if you're done interrogating me we need to move."
A naked person was walking through the Eichen House lobby, "Not again, Nelson." Orderly Schrader commented, armed with his taser.
"It's natural," Nelson claimed.
"So is 50,000 volts," Schrader claimed, charging up the taser. Nelson took off running with Schrader giving chase.
Kira and Micah used the direction to enter the office being the desk and found the electrical box, attached to the wall.
"That was easy," Kira commented.
"Don't get too excited." Micah warned her, "Getting out's the hard part." He looked at his watch, "Twelve minutes." Kira pulled off a cover on the wall revealing wires, "Okay, Kira. You can do this."
In the van, with 10 and a half minutes left on his timer, Parrish noticed that he was attracting unwanted attention from a group of guards.
Meanwhile, Scott and Liam waited as the silhouettes of the guards to disappear from the other side before they could exit the morgue.
"I think it's these." Kira claimed, looking through the box, "But they're covered in rubber."
Micah produced a pair of scissors and moved to cut the wires, but Kira stopped him, "You want to electrocute yourself?"
"I'll heal."
"Not if you die."
Micah decided to use his claws and sliced through the covering on the wires. He received a shock and his fingers were blackened and smoking, "I didn't die." Micah voiced, "Four minutes."
On their way to Landon, Scott and Liam were forced to stop because two orderlies were still in the hallway ahead of them. They quick hid behind the corner, "What are they doing there?" Liam questioned.
"I don't know." Scott peered around the corner and the orderlies remained unmoved, "According to Stiles, their rounds should've ended five minutes ago."
"I can take them." Liam offered eagerly.
"No one's taking anyone." Scott told him, "How much time?"
"Three minutes." Liam shared, looking at the time on his phone, "I'll just knock them out and hide the bodies."
"Did you take the doctor?" A voice questioned them. Across from them, was a patient in a glass cell.
"What?"
"Did you take the doctor?" The patient repeated, "I haven't had my medication. I need ten milligrams at 8 am, 15 milligrams at 1 pm, and no more than 20 at dinner." He told them.
"We'll get the doctor..." Scott offered to keep them quiet.
"Dr. Fenris. Dr. Fenris." The patient repeated while sobbing, "They took Dr. Fenris."
Kira hadn't had a move in touching the wiring and Micah could sense her hesitation, "I can smell how nervous you are."
"Not helping."
"Okay. You can do this." Micah tried, "It's just like we practiced."
"You mean like when I caused a major blackout?"
Micah shook his head, "Not like that, no." He looked at the time, "Ten seconds. Nine, eight..."
"Please stop counting," Kira begged as she took hold on the wires, but nothing has happened.
"Why isn't it working?"
"Because I have no idea what I'm doing."
The patient hadn't left Scott and Liam alone, "I haven't had my medication." He told them, "I need to see the doctor." Getting more agitated, the patient then gets louder with his statement, "They took Dr. Fenris."
The orderlies from down the hall turned their attention to them, but they didn't bother moving. "Hey, somebody shut him up." One of them said.
"I need to see the doctor." The patient cried.
"Shut him up." Liam hissed lowly at his Alpha.
However, Scott was hesitant and the patient was getting more upset, causing the guards to head in their direction, "Scott do something." Liam urged at him.
Scott flashed his red eyes and fangs and the patient got quiet, backing away with a whimper.
Scott peered around the corner once more as the orderlies took a side door down the hall and were gone, "Come on."
At three minutes after 8, "Kira, nothing's happening." Micah pointed out.
"I'm aware of that." Kira countered with an obvious tone, "I don't want to lose control because I'm scared I might fry the entire system." She released the wiring.
"Stop worrying about what you might do." Micah ordered, getting Kira's attention, "This isn't about you or me." He told her, "It's about Landon. We're here to save Landon." He lamented strongly, "We're here to save our friend."
Kira took Micah's words to heart as she touched the wiring once more. Lightning automatically flashed from the wires and ran across Kira's hands., "It's working." Micah realized as the lights began to dim and the sound computers rebooting filled the room. He rushed to a computer that was giving off the notification of the system rebooting, "Keep going." Micah encouraged her.
Kira does keep going, but what Micah doesn't see is that Kira's eyes began to glow orange as she absorbed the electrical power.
Scott and Liam stopped in their pursuit as the lights around them began to flicker, "She did it." Scott realized, "Kira did it."
"Five minutes to get to Landon." Liam told him as they hurry to the final gate, only to discover something was missing, "Where's the card reader? It should be here." Liam panicked slightly, "It has to be here."
"They must have taken it out when the Dread Doctors got through." Scott realized.
"Are you telling me we came all the way down here just to be stopped by an ordinary key?" Liam questioned with anxiety, "Are you kidding me? The one person who could get through isn't even here with us."
"We don't need a key." Scott told him, taking a hold of Liam, "We don't need Stiles," Liam gave him a questioning expression, "Not if we can break it down."
Theo's pack and Stiles stood on the outside of Eichen House. Stiles stared at the building obviously nerved about the whole thing, "Not getting second thoughts, are you?" Theo questioned, taking a stand by Stiles.
"I was actually thinking how much I hate this place," Stiles told him, eyeing the building. "Last time I was here before all this happened, I almost died." She crossed her arms, "I can't believe this place is a medical establishment."
"You're going to be fine." Theo assured, placing a hand on Stiles' shoulder, "You know why?"
Stiles continued staring at the building, "Because you have a secret plan that I don't know about?"
Theo huffed a laugh at the statement, "It's because I'm going to be with you." This prompted Stiles to shift focus away from the building and see Theo giving a soft expression. Before she could question the look, the sound of Tracy taking down one of the guards at the main gate, "You should probably get moving."
"So, that's how you planned on getting inside." Stiles told him, "Definitely not going to go unnoticed or anything."
In Theo's lair, Hayden was watching over Deucalion, "Do I make you nervous?" He questioned the young chimera.
"Shouldn't you already know the answer to that?" Hayden questioned as she sat on the far side of the room.
"Well, I thought it would be politer to ask." Deucalion offered, "But yes, a girl your age shouldn't have a resting heart rate of 110 beats per minute." He told her, "How about you unshackle me from this thing and we'll both be a little more at ease?"
Hayden gave him a challenging look, "How stupid do you think I am?"
"Since I highly doubt you want me to answer that question honestly, let me propose an alternative." He offered, "You set me free and I'll tell you a secret about those talons sitting in that jar over there." Hayden looked over at the jar, that sat on the table, "I may be blind, but my other senses paint a very detailed picture. I know the talons were created by the Dread Doctors."
"So…"
"So, Theo believes he can fit them onto his own claws like a couple of press-on nails?" He questioned, "Use them to siphon the power from the Beast?" He laughed at the idea, "Good luck with that."
"What do you mean?"
"The Dread Doctors would have designed those talons with a specific frequency." He explained, "For a specific person. As a genetic Chimera, I would've thought you'd understand how often the body rejects an organ."
"Especially from an outside donor." Hayden answered, remembering her own mediation that she used to take, "If he puts them on, then..."
"Yes, Hayden." Deucalion told her, "They'll kill him."
Josh disarmed one guard by grabbing his taser and absorbing the electricity from it and then used the absorbed electricity, shocking him unconscious.
Scott and Liam were exhausted from trying to push the gate opened, "There's too much Mountain Ash." Scott said tiredly.
Liam stared at the gate getting more agitated that they haven't made any progress. He looked at his hands as if they had an answer for him, which gave him an idea, "Hit me."
Scott was still recovering from their attempt in opening the gate, "What?"
"Hit me." Liam repeated, "I'll get angry then I'll get stronger." Scott gave him a confused look, "I tried to take your powers." Liam reminded Scott, "I tried to kill you. Hit me." Scott doesn't even make a move to hit him, "I left you for dead." Liam reminded him, "I wanted you dead." This seemed to work as Scott does punch Liam.
While Scott was shocked in his action, Liam was all for it, "Do it again." Liam encouraged him, "It's gotta be harder than that."
Scott no longer holds back as he repeatedly punched Liam over and over. Feeding off of Liam's anger, Scott began to feel a certain burst of power, as did Liam, as their eyes glowed their respected colors, "You angry?" Scott questioned his beta.
Liam growled in response, "Let's do this."
Suitably angry, the pair attacked the gate again. This time Scott and Liam both managed to knock the gate right off its hinges.
The Alpha and Beta high-five each other at the result, "Now we just got to get passed the mountain ash."
Stiles managed to place herself right in Landon's room and rushed over to his side, "Stiles..." Landon breathed out with worry, "You can't be here." Landon shared, even though Stiles was staring at the bloodied pillow Landon's head was laying on. Stiles could see that there's a small trepanation hole in Landon's head, "You're going to die if you stay." He warned, finally getting Stiles' attention, "All of you."
Micah and Kira cracked the door of the office opened and could see a couple of guards walking into the lobby, "Those guards shouldn't be there." Micah whispered to Kira.
"We could get past them," Kira assured.
A voice from one of the Guard's radio came through, "Perimeter security, check in please." However, when there wasn't an answer, "Perimeter, do you copy?"
"We could." Micah agreed, "But we don't want to set off any alarm until Landon is out." They closed the door.
Despite Landon's warning, Stiles started to frantically undo the restraints. While doing so, Landon could sense a familiar presence getting closer to them, "Stiles, he's coming." He warned.
"Landon, I'm not leaving you here." Stiles admonished at him.
"You have to," Landon stated, sadly. Finally causing Stiles to stop and give him a look of determination, while Landon gave her a sad expression.
"Stiles," Landon this time now begged, "Go. Please."
When Valack walked his way into Landon's cell, it appeared to empty with Landon staring up at the ceiling. However, unknown to Valack, Stiles was hiding behind a gate close to Landon's cell.
From their hiding spot inside the office, Kira and Micah could hear Orderly Schrader talking, "Visiting hours are well past over."
"We're not here to visit." A voice they recognized answered.
"They're here," Kira whispered.
Outside in the lobby, Theo has taken his spot in front of his pack, "We're here for Landon Martin." He told the man.
Schrader looked uncomfortable with a mix of slightly being terrified. Without wasting a second, Theo grabbed the man and pulled him through the front desk window, throwing him onto the floor.
Outside in the van, Parrish's eyes glowed orange.
Natalie Martin arrived at Eichen House and tried the buzzer, "Hello, this is Natalie Martin." She spoke into the speaker, "I need to see my son immediately." She received no answer and pulled on the gate causing it to open.
As she walked up the building she noticed a bloody guard laying on the ground.
When Micah and Kira get to the lobby, Micah checked on the unconscious Schrader while Kira began to spark as the excess energy in her system began to fire off just like the last time she was at Eichen for an extended period of time, "It's started." Kira realized.
"We need to get you out of here," Micah told her.
"What about the others?"
"They should already be back at the morgue." He reminded her, "Let's go."
From her spot, Stiles could hear Dr. Valack continuing to question Landon, "It was more than a symbol, wasn't it?" Dr. Valack questioned Landon, "It was a promise to reunite them."
"Yes."
"But has Scott done it yet?" He wondered, "Will he be coming for you?"
They could hear a gate buzzer down the hall, "Someone's coming." Landon answered him, "But it's not Scott."
Scott and Liam were trying to power through the Mountain Ash that was still covering the halls, "We're never going to get through." Scott grunted as they trudged through the doorframe.
"You've gotten through it before, though, right?" Liam questioned him.
"Ah, it was a life and death situation."
"And this isn't?" Liam challenged.
"This isn't just a circle." Scott explained, "There's Mountain Ash in half the building. Stiles and Landon had five minutes to get in and out." He reminded him, "It's been almost ten. The reboot's over. And the key card doesn't work anymore." He pulled up his shirt to reveal the wound on his stomach, that still hasn't healed, but still looked like a ragged hole.
Liam look behind Scott gave a nonchalant expression, "And then there are the four security guards."
"What guards?"
The sound of a gate buzzing caught Scott's attention, he could see four guards appeared from various corners of the hall armed with taser sticks, "Those guards."
Stiles was peeking from around the corner, seeing Tracy with Valack against the wall, "He doesn't look good." Tracy noted, looking at Landon.
"He has a hole in his head." Corey counterclaimed, "It's not a good look for anyone."
Theo said the one thing that everyone can agree on, "I can't believe this is actually a medical establishment." Theo scoffed, "Pick him up." He ordered Josh, "We're getting him out of here."
"Now what would a pack of Chimeras want with Reaper?" He questioned, eyeing them suspiciously.
"I don't want a Reaper." Theo answered with a knowing smirk, "I'm looking for a Hellhound."
The sound of growling caught their attention and they see Parrish arriving as he burned through the wire mesh gate with his claws. His eyes glowed and his body was on fire. It appeared he now has lower fangs.
"I think you found one."
As Micah and Kira reached the morgue, sirens began to blare, "Lockdown." Micah realized as he rushed for the door handle but was shocked so severely he flew backward into Kira.
On the front porch, metal doors slammed down over the windows and the entrance blocking Natalie Martin from coming inside.
Scott and Liam were weakened and being beaten down by the guards and their tasers. Seeing his beta going down with sparked something inside Scott as he released a mighty roar.
The roar echoed through the facility; in morgue Micah's eyes automatically glowed blue, from her hiding spot Stiles' eyes glowed their own color and right beside Scott, Liam's eyes gave off their yellow color. All responding to the roar of their Alpha.
Feeling the connection of his pack, Scott then has a burst of strength. Liam followed suit and they overpowered their attackers, throwing them against the wall.
NEXT TIME ON TNH: La Bête du Gévaudan (January 3rd)
Theo shared, "You're right. I'm going to help Parrish stop the Beast. I will take its power. And then I will break its neck." He revealed, "So maybe I'm not the good guy in your eyes, but I might end up being the guy that saves all your asses."
Stiles shoved him into the wall, eyes now glowing, "Our asses wouldn't need saving if your ass just stayed away from Beacon Hills." Stiles seethed
"You had a plan?" Landon questioned with surprise, "Bet Derek thought it was stupid."
Stiles laughed at the mentioning, "Yeah. It was good on paper." Stiles admitted, "Not too much in reality."
Landon collapsed to the ground as the screams were continuing to overwhelm him, "I can't hold it."
"Landon..."
"Stiles, run!" Landon yelled as his vision began to blur from the screams.
Stiles does the opposite and instead placed both hands on Landon's head, eyes glowing, "NO!"
