Landon found himself surrounded by darkness. Patting alongside the walls in order to find an exit, he felt the handle of a door. He tried to force the door opened only to find that it was locked.
The Desert Wolf hovered over Stiles giving a satisfactory smile until she heard a sound of movement. She disregarded Stiles and turned to see Micah heading for the handgun that still laid the floor.
Proving to be faster, the Desert Wolf managed to get to the weapon first just before aiming it towards Micah as he stood up slowly from the ground.
She gave a satisfactory smile, seeing the frightened expression on his face, as she shot him in the shoulder. Micah backed into a small table, before turning his back away from his mother, trying to escape through the hall.
The Desert Wolf was clearly pleased with his retreating figure and went for another shot, this time right in his back, making him turn back to face his mother. "It's not the full moon, Micah." She cooed at him, "But you know what? It's close enough."
She cocked her handgun once more and shot him right in the gut. Micah fell back into a wall, holding onto a now bleeding wound, "Stop..." Micah begged to her.
"Micah," Allison whispered through an opened window, getting Micah's attention. Wordlessly, she tossed him a jar, containing a pair of claws glowing blue.
Micah caught the jar as the Desert Wolf came charging at him claws out and eyes glowing blue. She pierced her claws right in his gunshot wound, "I want my power back." She growled at him as Micah cried out in pain.
The sound of glass shattering came to focus as Micah wounded his mother with the talons, "I want my family back." Micah recounted, pushing the talons deeper as the blue light slowly drained from her eyes as while his brighten.
Micah removed the talons from her stomach as the Desert Wolf struggled away from him, only to see that the line of mountain ash that Derek had fixed earlier was broken.
Derek rounded the corner, before she could move and knocked her in the face with the butt of Braeden's shotgun, knocking her out.
The cousins traded relieved expression until they were reminded of Stiles, who was still laying on the floor, "Can someone please take this gigantic shard of glass out of my chest?" Stiles begged, "There's something else I need to do."
Liam and Scott continued their way through the tunnels, "I'll do it." Liam voiced suddenly, prompting Scott to halt them.
"Liam..."
"It should be me." Liam interrupted, knowing what Scott was going to say next, "If you get me close enough, I'll do it."
He reached out to take the cane away, but Scott pulled it back, "We're not killing your best friend."
Sebastien rounded the corner, eyeing the cane that Scott was holding onto, "That belongs to me." He told the Alpha, "It's a family heirloom." He outstretched his hand, "I'd like it back, please."
"It's all yours." Scott assured him, "Just give us Mason."
Sebastien placed his hand down, "Unfortunately, I would not know where to begin." He informed the two, "And while I've benefited from his memories, I don't have much use for an alter ego."
Scott and Liam exchanged knowing glances, "You want it?" Scott questioned holding up the cane, "Come and get it." He taunted as he and Liam transformed.
Sebastien made a low snarl as his eyes signify the start of his transformation.
Landon continued struggled with the locked door, just as the sound of metal caught his attention. He could see a piece of a sword coming from the other side. He instinctively moved back as the sounds the of the sword continued clinking against the door.
The door eventually got sliced opened completely, Landon stare in shock seeing both Kira and Isaac standing on the other side, "Sorry we're late." Kira told him.
Landon was speechless.
The cane was thrown to the ground as the Beast took swipes at Liam and Scott, causing their bodies to be thrown across the tunnel. Scott was first to recover as he punched the Beast, with little effect, resulting in him getting kicked off to the side.
Liam jumped at the Beast, aiming for his head, but the Beast was ready this time, sending Liam back into with an uppercut to the jaw, sending him to the ground where Scott stood.
Wordlessly, the Alpha and the Beta looked at each other before moving in sync towards the Beast to attack.
The Beast roared, slamming his fists into the floor creating a shockwave, separating the werewolves at the both flew into different ends of the tunnel.
The Beast transformed back into Sebastien as he picked Scott up by the neck. Scott tried to break free from the stronghold, but it was proven useless, "You're strong. There's no doubt in that." He praised him, "But neither of you fight with a killer instinct." He stated, "Let me show you how to go for the throat." He tightens his grip around Scott's neck to a point where there was a sound of cracking.
On the floor, Liam could see the forgotten and moved quickly to retrieve it. Once he does, he unsheathed the blade, catching both Sebastien and Scott's attention. He moved ready to attack, "Liam, wait." Scott called out to him, while Sebastien looked intrigued, "We can still save Mason."
"Who's going to save you?" Liam questioned back.
"What kind of werewolves are you?" Sebastien demanded to know in an appalling manner. Liam made a run at Sebastien with the sword, but Sebastien managed to dodge the attack and sent Liam back into a beam with a simple push of his hand.
Just as Sebastien was about to tightening his grip on Scott's neck, an arrow appeared from nowhere. Recognizing the arrow, Scott closed his eyes as a bright light shined as the arrow made an impact on the wall close to them.
Sebastien was caught off guard by the unexpected ambush and released Scott giving him a chance to escape.
Sebastien's blindness doesn't last long as he turned to ready to attack his attacker. He doesn't move as he could see Allison without her boot, armed with her bow and arrow with another arrow ready to take flight, "Marie-Jeanne?" He questioned, thinking that he was seeing his sister.
Kira, Isaac, and Landon come as they stood behind Allison, "Mason!" Landon called out.
Realizing that his sister was determined to the same thing she had done back in 1767, Sebastien stalked his way towards them. Allison sent another arrow his way, but Sebastien caught with ease, snapping it into two.
"I think you're gonna need to try it a little louder," Isaac whispered to Landon just as Sebastien's eyes begin glowing as he transformed into the Beast.
Taking a step forward, Landon called out, "Mason!" His voice changing as it created a soundwave that struck the beast, causing the giant form to revert into a cloud of smoke.
Everyone watched in anticipation, wondering what would happen just as Mason walked from it, obviously disoriented and falls towards the ground. He doesn't hit the ground when Corey became visible against a wall, catching him.
There was a momentary sense of relief until they could see a formless smoke beast careening down another side the tunnel, trying to get away. It doesn't get far as the Hellhound rounded the corner, grabbing it, "Scott!" He called out.
Scott picked up the sword throwing in direction of the Beast. The sword went right through, creating a bluish light that appeared to be absorbing the smoke beast until it dissipated.
Jordan returned to normal, while everyone once again was relieved of their victory, "Is everyone okay?" Scott questioned.
"Not everyone," Theo answered as he walked towards the group with lightning flaring around his body.
Feeding out the electricity running off Theo, Kira ran towards him just as he sent a bolt towards Scott. With a whip of her sword, she caught the bolt as her eyes glowed orange while the sword maintained the glow of the lightening, "The Skinwalkers have a message for you, Theo." This seemed to surprise Theo as he stopped the flow of lightning from leaving his body. "Your sister wants to see you." She stabbed her sword into the concrete as a crack formed alongside Theo's feet, creating a hole.
From the hole, crawled up Theo's sister as she grabbed him by the feet dragging him as he screamed for Scott's help. No one moved as she continued to do as the hole sealed up behind them.
Later, Chris Argent was wrapping up his father's arm, both Argents eyeing each other with animosity. Chris walked away clearly pleased with himself.
At the animal clinic, Hayden laid across the examination table holding onto her wound, "I've managed to stabilize the injury." Deaton shared, "But considering you're a chimera, I don't know how, or if, you'll heal."
"We can still take you to the hospital." Scott offered.
Hayden shook her head, "I've already died there once."
"It's your choice." Liam reminded her.
She looked up at Scott, "I know."
Scott's eyes light up red as he bared his fangs.
Later in the woods, Liam kneeled over Lookout Point as he could pick up the sound of feet running in his direction. He turned to see Hayden with a smile on her face as her eyes glow yellow. Liam made a smile of relief as his does the same as they embraced and kissed.
At the Sheriff's station, Stiles was sitting in the chair staring off to the side. The Sheriff was putting away some files, but noticed the unusual silence that was coming from her, "You saved their lives." The Sheriff reminded, breaking the silence, "Mason. Micah." He listed, "Half the population of Beacon Hills." This caught Stiles' attention, "That's got to feel pretty good."
"It did." She agreed with a minor head nod, "For a while." She whispered just loud enough for him to hear.
"But it's something you want to feel again."
"Yeah." She nodded, looking back off to the side, "Yeah, I think so."
The Sheriff could see the calculation expression on Stiles' face, "Welcome to your future career in law enforcement." He told her.
At the statement, Stiles' face changed to realization as if the thought hasn't even crossed her mind.
Micah was leaning on his car with a ribbon studying over a booklet when Landon pulled up beside him. While Landon got out, Micah placed the book in his backpack and the two watch their classmates roam across the BHHS campus, returning to their lives. They looked at each other smile and Landon linked his arm around Micah's and the two walked into the school.
At the loft, the senior members of the McCall pack were sitting on a palette made up a variety of blankets surrounded by food and discussing the past event, "And then Kira goes Your sister wants to see you. And then next thing we see is his actual sister coming from the hole in the ground and pulling him in." Isaac enthused, while Kira was trying to wave it away as if it were no big deal.
"Better than me going at him again," Micah commented, holding onto a cup. "I wouldn't mind continuously punching him in the face repeatedly. Maybe some claw stabbing too."
"Okay," Stiles voiced, taking away the cup in Micah's hand as he continued to squeeze it tighter and tighter, "Enough Theo talk, yeah? This is our last night together before Allison, Isaac, and Kira have to leave."
"Why would Kira have to leave?" Micah questioned with a curious expression, "She's completely fine."
"No, I'm not fine." Kira answered, "I should've told you in the beginning, but I made a deal with the Skinwalkers; They help me save you guys and I stay with them until I learned to control my fox spirit."
For a moment, Micah appeared to be upset, "What about us? We can help you. Find a way where you don't have to go back to them."
Kira shook her head, "I need to." She told him, "It's not for my parents. It's not for you guys. It's for me."
Micah nodded his head in understanding, but a scowl began setting on his face, "I just don't think, out of everyone here, that you have to leave. No one else had to."
There was a moment of silence before Allison chose to speak, "When I first learned about my family's history, the very first test I had to took required me having to get unbounded from a chair." She shared, "It took me two and half hours. After the Kanima, I left for four months learning what it meant to be a Hunter, couple more months after that I became a graduated Hunter and made my own mold."
"In the beginning, I had no idea what I was." Landon shared next, "I mean after my accident I wondered the preserve for days with no recollection of what happened." He admitted, "Months later, I kept hearing things that weren't there, almost got killed by the dark druid only to discover what I was." He recounted, "But even knowing, I still had no control in my power, at least not till Meredith. She taught me how to use my voice as a weapon."
"I tried to kill Stiles three times before learning control." Scott remembered, "But with Stiles and Derek's help I didn't. I learned to keep control."
Micah frowned at the shared stories, "What's the point of telling me this?"
"I think the point they are trying to make is that everyone here had their share of a struggle when it came to knowing their own abilities." Derek told his cousin, "Some are still learning." He eyed at Stiles.
Stiles noticed the look, "I said I was sorry."
"What happened this time?" Isaac questioned with a hint of anticipation.
"I woke up outside on the ground." Derek answered, "Because someone is refusing to know her limit."
Stiles doesn't even get to defend herself, due to Landon's sudden question, "Is it because of your new ability?" Out of nowhere, Landon managed to pull out a notebook and began writing something down, "If so, I need to add it to the list."
"There's a list?" She questioned with disbelief.
"Wouldn't hurt considering you got levitation, teleportation, force-field wall generation, power replication, and now the somatosensory imprint." Landon answered knowingly but saw the faces he was getting, "You guys said so yourself, Stiles' has a lot of abilities and some may still yet to come. And I think with the exposure to Eichen may help those come to light."
"That place always seems to have a negative outcome for you." Micah voiced, "Hard to believe something good finally happened to you there." He paused for a moment, "No offense." He indicated towards Stiles.
"None taken." Stiles replied, "But back to Kira, even if she does leave she'll come back to us. There's still graduation."
"That's the thing, though," Kira voiced uncomfortably, "I don't know..."
"Well, I do." Stiles firmly, seeing some inquiring expressions, "When we started this school year, I was so stressed about everyone ending up in the same place after we graduate." She looked around the circle they sat in, "But look where we are." She indicated around the circle, "Isaac and Allison weren't even here when all this began to happen." She pointed out, "And when they did show up I realized it doesn't matter if we go our separate ways. We always seem to find each other anyway."
