Sorry guys for the late update. I was having one of my moods and didn't feel like doing anything for real, so to make up for it I'll do another update on Saturday. I hope you enjoy!

The Hellhound continued roaring while advancing towards the chimera pack, Theo grabbed Landon and placed his claws to his throat, "Back off." Theo ordered. However, the hellhound doesn't stop his advancement, "I said back off." Theo then clawed alongside Landon's neck, drawing blood, but even that doesn't stop the deputy.

Seeing that Jordan would not yield at all, Theo pressed his chimera pack, "Take him."

"The guy's on fire," Josh exclaimed with disbelief.

"You'll heal." Theo snapped, "Do it."

While Corey and Josh remained to be unsure, Tracy stepped up, eyes slit and claws ready. She rushed at the Hellhound, letting out a roar of her own as she plunged her claws into his stomach. Not only does the Hellhound not seem to notice, but it appeared as if her paralytic toxin had no effect on him.

With that being the obvious case, he took a hold of the hand in his stomach and pulled it out roughly by throwing Tracy into a plastic cell door effortlessly.

It happened on its own. One minute Stiles was peering around the corner, watching the Hellhound take on Theo's scared chimera pack and the next she was standing right in the front of it, "Um...down boy?" She squeaked slightly. The Hellhound made an annoyed growling sound and shoved her onto the floor, "Yeah, I didn't find that funny either."

"Help her." Theo directed to Josh. This time without hesitating Josh ripped away one of the electrical conduits, running the length of the hall and grabbed the exposed wires. He leaped over Stiles and reached out touching the Hellhound, but just like with Tracy, his powers have no effect and he gets punched right into a wall.

With Theo distracted, Dr. Valack plunged his trephination drill into the back of the chimera's leg, "Sorry Theo, but I'm not done with him yet." He apologized. He turned on the drill, causing Theo to cry out in pain as he released Landon and gets popped in the face with the handle, while Valack took hold of Landon.

Hearing Theo's screams of pain, Stiles turned her head to spot Valack attempting to sneak Landon away from the other side. Her eyes gave off a glow.

Instead of focusing on Stiles, the Hellhound wasn't done with his attack with Josh. He grabbed the chimera by the shirt and threw him onto the ground repeatedly. At one point during the beat down, Cory became visible and placed his hand around Jordan's wrist, preventing him from punching Josh in the face. This action seemed to halt the attack, which made Corey quite pleased with himself.


Dr. Valack was close to escaping with Landon from The Chimera Pack vs. The Hellhound battle in the hall, but before he could into the other hallway, Stiles appeared right in front them, blocking them, "You shouldn't be using that in here." He warned.

Stiles made a knowing head nod, "You shouldn't be drilling holes into people's heads." Stiles counterclaimed, "Now, let him go."

"I'm afraid I can't do that," Valack claimed.

The sound of Corey screaming in terror as he was unexpectedly consumed in flames, interrupted their stand-off as he gets thrown in their direction.

Dr. Valack managed to move out the way of Corey's flying body, resulting in Stiles being thrown into a fence on impact, giving Dr. Valack a chance to escape with Landon.

From his place on the ground, as the Hellhound continued his advancement, Theo picked up a piece of electrical conduit pipe and hurled straight into the Hellhound's chest. It's proven effective as the fire subsided and Jordan's eyes revert to their natural color as he sank down to the floor.

Still in shock from the unexpected body slam, Stiles shoved off Corey and pursued Valack and Landon, "Hey!" Stiles called out to him, but the doctor kept moving through a doorway, taking Landon, "Landon!" Stiles cried out as Valack hurried the door closed. Stiles pulled the door, but it doesn't open, "Landon!"


Liam and Hayden are discussing Theo's plans for the beast, "Theo thinks he's gonna be able to take its power." Hayden tells him as they are hiding by the school buses.

Liam scoffs at the idea, "He's crazy." He says, "It's gonna rip his head off."

"But you think Scott can save everyone?" Hayden challenges him.

"I know he can." Liam defends with certainty, "It's different now. I think dying did something to him."

"It did something to me, too." Hayden reminds him.

"But none of it was good." He reminds her with her being forced into Theo's pack, "What if it happened again?" He questions, "What if you got hurt?" Hayden looks him with a soft expression, "What would you want me to do?"

Hayden doesn't give him an answer as she gives him a simple kiss.

"Starting to question where your loyalties lie?" Deucalion questioned Hayden, breaking into her thoughts, "Or maybe you're starting to understand your role."

"What role?"

"Why would Theo leave you here?" He questioned, "Why not leave Josh or Corey? You're stronger and faster than both. And more fearless."

"I know why I'm stuck here with you." She told him, "Because when it comes to Liam, I'm a liability."

"You could leave." He offered, "You could go off to help them. No one has to know."

"Except for you."

Deucalion laughed at the underlining meaning, "Oh, I'm no friend to Theo." He assured her, "You want to help Liam?" He questioned, "Worry less about being a liability and more of your ability to lie."


Still blocked by the Mountain Ash barrier, Scott grabbed one of the unconscious Eichen House guards' radio, "Does anyone have eyes on the Closed Unit?" He questioned, "I need a status report."

A voice on the other end answered, "It's a war zone down here."

It was clear, Scott had no idea to what he was doing, "Uh... 10-4." Scott answered, "And what about the patients? Landon Martin?"

The voice got suspicious of the question, "Who is this?"

"It's... Unit Nine."

"There is no Unit Nine." The voice radioed back, "Who is this? How did you get..."

Scott doesn't answer back as he crushed the radio and dropped it to the ground, "All right. We need to figure out another way to get into this Closed Unit."

"How do we get through the mountain ash?"

"I don't know yet." Scott admitted, "But there's somebody else here that might be able to help us."

"Who?"

"Meredith."


Stiles continued struggling against the door, that proven to be locked in the first attempt in opening it, "Let me try." A voice offered. Stiles turned back to see Theo and gave him an easy eye of distrust, "We're supposed to be working together, remember?" He reminded her.

Stiles moved out the way for Theo kick in the door, but he stepped aside and lets Stiles take the lead.


Kira and Micah were still trapped in the morgue and lightning cracked across Kira's body as she continued holding onto the cords, "I don't know how long I'm going to last." Kira groaned as she tried to tolerate the surges.

"How did you stop it before?"

"Scott carried me outside," She recalled, "Which almost killed him."

Bolts of lightning then connected with metal objects in the room.

Seeing that the situation was about to be worse way fast, "Maybe we could try grounding you to something." Micah offered.

"You have a degree in electrical engineering?" Kira questioned, "'Cause I don't know how to do that." Another bolt of lightning shot from Kira's body striking close to Micah's feet. Micah jumped in surprised, "You have to get out of here."

"I can't leave you." Micah declared.

"I should've stayed in the desert with the Skinwalkers." Kira lamented, "I can't control this. I'm never going to be able to."

"Kira, it worked." Micah encouraged her, "You saw it work. You controlled it enough to cause the brownout." Micah pressed, "You can stop it."

Despite Micah's encouragement, Kira hasn't been able to gain control of the electricity, "I can't!" She cried out as revealing her orange eyes, "Micah, go!" She pleaded with the voice that wasn't hers.


Outside Eichen House, Natalie Martin was trapped. The gate was locked and electrified. She picked up one of the downed guard's taser stick appeared to be determined.

Inside, Scott and Liam found Meredith, "Meredith?" But she doesn't turn away from the wall she has been looking at, "Meredith?" Scott tried stepping to the room, "It's Scott. Scott McCall."


Theo and Stiles breezed through another hallway, "Stiles." Theo called, during the pursuit of Valack and Landon, "I want him out of here, too."

Stiles halted, giving him an appearance of suspicion, "What do you want?"

Theo appeared ready to give an answer, but he hesitated with, "What's the difference?" Theo questioned back, "I can find him. You can't."

Stiles, ready to comeback with a statement, picked up the sound of steam hissing not too far from them. Instead, Stiles followed the sound that ended up leading them into a bathroom filled with steam and half-naked cowering patients.

In the middle of the floor was a grate, "It leads to the tunnels, doesn't it?" Theo questioned.

"There're miles of them." Stiles answered looking down, "They could be anywhere by now."


"Hey. Meredith, can you hear me?" Meredith doesn't give him an answer, "We need your help. We're trying to find Landon." Not even mentioning Landon's name gave him a response, "We're trying to get him out of here."

Liam could that Scott's pleas weren't helping, "Scott, I think we better go."

Scott wasn't ready to give up yet, "Meredith, listen." He kneeled to her level, "There has to be another way to get to Landon." He pressed to her, "We can't get past the mountain ash. How do we find him?"

When it was clear that Meredith wasn't going to give him an answer, Scott got up ready to leave. As he does so, he could feel Meredith grab his hand and placed it on the back of her neck, "I could hurt you." However, Meredith pushed his fingers harder against her neck, "Okay." With a flick of his fingers, he inserted his claws into her neck.


Micah was still ducking for cover as Kira continued firing off bolts of electricity, but when the electricity bolts stopped firing Micah called out to her, "Kira?" He doesn't get a response and when he moved from his hiding spot, he could see Kira laying on the floor unconscious. He walked carefully over to her body, "Kira." With no response, he reached down to check her pulse when the sound of another voice filled the room.

"I wouldn't do that," Josh warned him, standing by the door of the morgue. Micah gave him an uneasy expression, "Electricity's still coming off her. I can feel it from here. I can help her."

Micah was immediately suspicious, "Why?"

"Because I need your help." Josh answered as he moved out of the doorway to show a badly burned Corey, "With him."


Now inside Meredith's mind, Scott followed Meredith down the corridors until they found Landon on his knees covering his ears.

In the real world, Liam was waiting as Scott stood rock still, his claws embedded in Meredith's neck. Just as luck would have it, two orderlies came from down the hall checking the cells. Moving quickly, Liam slammed the door to Meredith's cell and ripped off the electronic card reader, facing the two orderlies on his own.

Back inside Meredith's mind, Scott was witnessing Landon as he was trying to stop himself from hearing the screams inside his own head, "He doesn't have much time."

Scott watched horrified at the Reaper's obvious distress, "What's happening to him?" His questioned causing an echo between them.

"He's being consumed by his power." Meredith explained, "Dr. Valack thinks it's worth it if he can answer the question."

"What question?"

"Who is the Beast?"

Scott looked dumbfounded, "He can answer that?"

Meredith shook her head, "Not yet." She watched as Landon continued to fight against the nonstop screaming, "Not until the screams in his head are loud enough to kill him."

"How do I get to him?"

Meredith switched her gaze over to him, "You can't." She told him, "You won't be able to get past the mountain ash." She explained, causing a small facial feature of disappointment to settle on Scott's face, "But someone else might be able to."

"Who?"

"The Hellhound."

"You mean Parrish?"

"They're connected." She explained, "Find the Hellhound... and he'll find the Reaper."


Deucalion could pick up the sound of Hayden's phone continuous buzzing, "Five texts in two minutes?" He questioned with some interest, "Someone's trying to get your attention. Maybe you should go."

"I'm obviously not going anywhere." Hayden snapped at him, "Could you please shut the hell up?"

Deucalion seemed amused at the reaction, "I have a feeling you and I are going to be friends, Hayden." He told her, "I think we're going to discover a lot of common ground beneath our feet."

Her cell phone vibrated which seemed to motivate Hayden into injecting Deucalion with the Kanima venom first, "Now is that really necessary?" He questioned her after he felt the stick of the needle.

"It's Kanima Venom from Tracy." She told him, "Enough to paralyze you for a couple hours."

"If we're going to be friends, Hayden, you really need to learn to trust me," Deucalion told her as his breathing turned ragged.

She gave him a knowing smirk, "Now I trust you." She informed him just before leaving.

Scott removed his claws from Meredith's neck, but could still hear the whisper of her voice, "Save him."

The door slammed opened and a large, muscular guard stood there for a moment before collapsing forwarding to the room. Liam was standing behind him, "Is he out?" Liam questioned, tired from the fight.

"Yeah."

"Okay," Liam responded as he collapsed too.


Stiles and Theo were roaming through the tunnels. There was just one minor problem, "I thought you had his scent." Stiles snapped at Theo as they stopped wandering.

"I lost it."

"So, find it again."

Theo could sense Stiles' aggregation, "What do you smell down here, Stiles?"

"Chemicals and fecal matter." Stiles responded with a nose twitch, "Although, I'm sure the fecal matter is you." Stiles added without missing a beat.

"I smell it, too." Theo replied, dismissing the diss, "It's all I can smell." He shared leaning against on the walls, "Which is why I'm trying something else. So, can you shut up and let me concentrate?"

Stiles eyed Theo jaws clenched switching from looking in the direction they came and farther down the direction they were heading, "I don't care, if I can't control myself in here." Stiles voiced tightly, leaving Theo behind. "I'm gonna find him."

Theo leaned away from the wall, "You know you won't, Stiles." Theo implied, looking at Stiles retreating. He called out, "You should trust me."

The call out on its own was enough for Stiles to halt and do an about face, "Trust you?" Stiles scoffed with disdain, "The guy who murdered his own sister when he was nine?"

"Yeah, I was nine years old." Theo admitted, possibly annoyed at the fact, "I also believed a guy in a red suit came down the chimney to deliver presents." He declared, "So when three people in leather masks showed up and said my sister wanted me to have her heart, I believed them, too."

"That's an insult to Santa Claus." Stiles told him, arms crossed while wearing a look of distrust, "You gutted and killed her." Stiles reiterated, "A beautiful story."

"I watched her fall into the water and freeze to death in minutes." Theo said in defense, "Do you think I had any idea what was going on?"

With narrowing eyes, Stiles walked slowly towards him, not breaking eye contact, "I think you pushed her." Stiles challenged, "And I think you liked it."

Theo doesn't get to put up another defense when the sound of Landon screaming filled the tunnels, "What direction was that?" Stiles questioned, looking around them hurriedly, "Where is it coming from?"

Theo tried to pin out the location himself, but it was useless, "Everywhere."


In an unused laboratory in the Eichen tunnels, Landon woke up to find himself strapped down to a chair. He groaned in pain as the pressure of the multitude of screams filled his head.

"Just hold on a little longer, Landon." Dr. Valack instructed as he placed electric nodes on his head, "You can make it." He turned on a device that he connected to Landon and it seemed to quiet the screaming, "I want you to focus on this, Landon." Dr. Valack instructed, "And what other sounds you hear now, push them aside." He whispered beside Landon, "Focus on this sound."

The sound of rhythmic crackling began to come clear for Landon, "That's it. Focus on this sound and my voice." He soothed, eyeing Landon, "All right, Landon?"

Landon broke the gaze and immediately noticed Nurse Cross in a cell nearby, wide-eyed but unmoving.

"Don't worry, Landon." Dr. Valack assured, seeing the panic in the Reaper's eyes, "Nurse Cross wasn't nearly as strong as you are."

This doesn't give Landon any type of assurance. Especially when the power cord to Valack's machine, old, frayed and covered in cobwebs, began sparking.


Scott and Liam found Jordan lying in one of Eichen House's stairwells, "Parrish, hey." Scott said, kneeling to his side, "Can you hear me?"

Jordan groaned in pain, "How did I get here?"

"We don't know." Liam admitted, "We just followed the burning smell."

"Parrish, listen. Eichen's in lockdown." Scott told him, "There's no way for us to get out unless Plan B works."

"Plan B?" The injured deputy questioned, "What's Plan B?"

"Don't worry about it." Scott answered, "Right now, we need you to find Landon."

"Me?"

"Actually, not completely you." Liam told him, earning himself a confused look from Jordan, "We kind of need the other you."

"The Hellhound."


Josh was getting worried about Corey, who appeared to not be healing, "Why isn't he healing?"

"Maybe he can't." Micah theorized, examining the injured Chimera, "Maybe it's too much. Or maybe it's the pain."

Corey made a loud painful groaning sound, "He's going to die, isn't he?" Josh questioned at Micah at the sound of Corey's pain.

"His heartbeat's getting slower," Micah reported.

"What do we do?" Josh very worried, "You can't heal him, can you?"

"No, but I can take his pain." Micah suggested, "It could help. It might even get him to start healing."

"Then do it."

Micah stared down the chimera, "You first." He indicated towards Kira, who had extra electricity, running alongside her body, "You said you could help her."

"Yeah, but it's not like taking voltage from a car battery." Josh deduced, "She's got a lot more power than that." Corey made another noise of pain, "Are you going to do something or not?" Josh demanded at Micah.

Micah eyed him hard, "When you help her."

Josh gave him a look of doubt, "I don't trust you."

"The feelings mutual," Micah responded. Neither one of them moved to prove their word to the other. Micah stared at Kira's unmoving body clearly worried, "All right." Micah caved, "We go at the same time."

He grabbed hold of Corey's burnt arm as the first sign of a temporary truce. Josh touched Kira's arm, "You ready?"

Micah nodded, "All right, here we go."

Micah focused on the use of his pain-taking ability and grunted as the veins in his arms blacken as he absorbed Corey's pain; Josh followed suit and his body was immediately surrounded by purple lightning.


In the tunnels, Theo and Stiles remain at a loss, "Nothing." Theo shared as he tried to pick-up Landon's scent.

"Great." Stiles commented with sarcasm, "You're just as useless as I am."

"I'm trying to help save his life."

"Would you drop the altruistic crap?" Stiles snapped at him, "You want Landon because he gets you to Parrish, you want Parrish 'cause he gets you to the Beast."

"So, what?" Theo questioned at the accusation, "I want it dead, too."

"After you take its power, right?" Stiles interrogated him, "We know why you got the talons."

"You're right. I'm going to help Parrish stop the Beast. I will take its power." Theo confessed, "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, "Our asses wouldn't need saving if your ass just stayed away from Beacon Hills." Stiles seethed, "Better yet, we wouldn't have to be running around in these damned tunnels if you hadn't stuck your claws somewhere they didn't belong." Stiles ranted, "Now what do you really want?"

Theo eyed her sharply, "I told you what I wanted."

"Oh, yes and instead of seizing my pack, you resort to getting a batch of failed science experiments that you brought back from the dead," Stiles claimed, moving away from the chimera. "Real nice. Good job."

"Feel better?" He questioned, earning him a minor glare from Stiles.

"I usually have to hit the person I'm angry at to feel better." She seethed at him.

Theo laughed at the response, "When we get out of here I'll let you hit me all you want," He promised.

"Good, because I really want to use one of the pipes and beat you-" An idea spark into Stiles' head, halting the plan, "Break it."

"What?" Theo questioned confused, "I'm not going to let you beat me with a pipe."

"Trust me, I don't need a pipe to beat you." Stiles huffed at him, "I'm talking about using the sound that travels through the pipe." She explained, still getting a confused look, "You'll hear better to find Landon, dumb-ass."
