A ways away stood an old decaying olive tree with its roots half in the ground and half wrapped around a big boulder that seemed to be pushing the tree out. Between the mangled roots and steadfast rock lies a dark opening. No creatures stirred, no wind blew, and somehow even the sun shied from shining; but a lone figure in red approached and entered the foreboding hole without hesitation or wavering.

"Ugh. Would it kill him to add a little color? Or at least some light! Hale, I can barely see anything coming down this fucking hale damnit ditch. I know it's the path to the underworld but Come On! If I'm gonna die at least let me see my own death."

"Talking to yourself again Stiles?" The muttering Omega flinched and quickly spun around to see a smirking little shit demon.

"Holy Hale Matt! Don't do that! And What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be under Peter's feet right now? I'm pretty sure he is missing his foot stool."

"Why you-...!" Just before matt could do anything a hand grasped out and clamped on his neck. "Now, now stiles. You know I only like to sit back and relax after my affairs are in order. My foot stool has to wait till then." Peter tossed matt to the side and wrapped an arm around the unwilling omega. "It was taking an unusual amount of time for you to get back my sweet. And we were just coming to check in on you. I trust the river guardian has been negotiated with."

Stiles shivered in disgust and threw peter's hand off of him. "Shut it Peter. And no. Sorry bout your pawn, but the knot-brain didn't comprehend." he huffed.

"So you're saying you failed to persuade him over to my side. That wasn't part of the deal stiles."

"I tried my best, but he wouldn't listen to reason. And tried to make me his bitch! If you ask me he was just a waste of time, and hardly needed for your take over scheme or plot or mastermind evil plan or whatever the heck you call it."

"Alright, so instead of taking a year from your sentence I'm going to add two on. How bout that my sweet?"

"WHAT?! Oh Come On! That's hardly fair! It wouldn't have even mattered if I was able to persuade him, he'd end up no more dead than he is now!"

"Huh? What happened?" Matt decided to speak up.

"The bastard. Harris. Is dead. I can spell it too D-E-A-D. That clear enough for you half-wit?"

"I believe what my idiotic servant meant to ask was, How did the river guardian meet his demise?"

Stiles sighed and rolled his eyes. "There was this alpha. Derek. He just shows up out of nowhere and beats harris to a pulp and practically rips his throat out." Stiles slightly blushes at recalling how stupid he felt for blowing up on the alpha… no Derek.

Peter stiffened and matt started to sweat rapidly. "I'm sorry. Could you repeat that stiles. I didn't quite catch his name."

"His name's Derek." Peter's eyes flashed blue and snarled at the mention of his name.

"MATT!" The demon tried to make a run for it, but it was useless as Peter got a hold of him and started to strangle the life out the demon. "Taken care of! Never a pain again! Wasn't that what you told me?!"

"WAIT! *gasp* It could *choke* be a *wheezing* different Derek!" Peter's grip started to loosen but then stiles spoke up again. "He also had a hell hound, which I thought was odd since all of them live in the underworld. He was adorable though almost as cute as allison, and his name was scott."

Peter's anger was renewed at the confirmation that the alpha who killed Harris was his once believed and no-longer dearly departed loving nephew. "When I get through with you, you will wish you were a mortal so that there would be an end!"

"Wait! Wait! I was able to make him mortal! I can still finish the job!"

That stopped peter in his tracks, not before setting matt on fire. "He is mortal. Yes, yes we can make do with that." he grabbed stiles around the waist "My sweet, I have a plan."

"Oh gag me."

"In time, but first we must address my darling nephew. And this time get the job done."

We decided to camp out for the night; the fight must have took longer than I expected, because after we caught and cooked the fish it was already sunset. Scott and I had reached the city of Beacon Hills the next morning. The buildings and structures were massive; towering over us, people everywhere were constantly moving. I felt a little overwhelmed. All these new sights and smells, the most I've ever smelled at one time was the local market in at home; but those were semi-pleasant while these ones of the city left a foul taste in my mouth, especially with my heightened alpha senses. It could be worse, at the very least we aren't being crowded and bumped into. Everyone is giving Scott a wide berth and eyeing him wearingly, even though I know Scott is friendly; I'm glad no one knows me here.

Up ahead I saw a pottery store and a beta man trying to get through the door with a really big... Vase? He tripped and my reflexes went to go catch the delicate object. "Scott get the guy." Scott was able to get behind the man and support him before he hit the ground, I just barely caught the pot. All of a sudden the guy started to scream. "Thief! Help Thief! He is trying to steal my pottery!" He struggled getting up from Scott, once he did he had a look at the him and backed away screaming help again. I put the pottery down, scott moved to my side.

"I'm not stealing anything." I growled. People stopped to have a look, they surrounded us but we were still given a wide berth.

The beta was clearly terrified, but shouted accusingly. "Then why did your giant beast trip me! And you went after my vase!?" So it is a vase.

"You tripped on your own. We helped you from falling and breaking this." I made a point of picking it back up and bringing it in his store, scott following. He followed me in as well and the people who stopped went on their way.

I placed it down and turned to him. "Ok. I'm sorry, please don't kill me. It was an honest mistake! I-"

I cut him off before he could give me some sob story. "I'm not going to kill you. You needed some help, so I did. I'm a hero, not a serial killer."

He blinked then burst out laughing. "Hahaha! It looks more like you commit crime than help people. Ha!" after he calmed down and I glared at the man, he composed himself, "I'm sorry thank you for helping me, but go home kid."

"I'm not a kid. I am a hero."

"Have you ever prevented a natural disaster?"

"No."

"Or stopped cities from collapse?"

"No, but-"

"No Buts! You kid are just another chariot chaser, who did a good deed in a city that doesn't care. Goodbye Mr. Hero." Scott started to growl, but I stopped him and dragged him out of the store.

"It's fine Scott. I still have to prove myself to this city. Coach was right, this city needs a lot of…"

"Help! Someone help please!" I quickly turned to find the source of the screaming. "Please, my friend is in danger!" I spotted a wavy long haired blond beta in the crowd, she seemed to be pleading to alphas and strong looking betas. A pissy looking alpha knocked her down "Move it bitch." I went to go help her up.

"Are you alright?" Up close she was actually very pretty with her lightly tanned skin and light brown eyes, but nothing compared to the omega… no, Stiles.

"Obviously not! All these prissy dickheads think they're better than me and won't help my friend who is in serious trouble!"

"Where's your friend?"

"Trapped! There was a rockslide south of the city. Please will you help?"

"Yes. It will be faster if we ride scott."

"Woah! Wait!" I picked her up and placed her on scott and I jumped behind her, just before he went speeding off.

We made it in no time flat, I smelled two betas before we reached the site of the rockslide. When we got there one of them was trying to dig out the other from the small opening under the giant rock that fell. I jumped down and helped the girl off of scott, she was a little frazzled but otherwise alright. As soon as her feet touched the ground she ran over to help dig the trapped one out. "Boyd! I was able to find some help."

The bigger one stopped for a moment and turned to me, he had a close shaven head similar to Deaton, but was of a darker complexion that spoke of many hours under the sun and even though he was kneeling, he was obviously taller than me. "Are you just going to stand there?"

Snapping back to myself I walked over where I heard the poor trapped kid whimpering. "Move, I have this. As soon as I move it, grab him if he can't move himself."

"Hold it! I know you alphas all think you're the shit, but you can't just pick up a fuck ton boulder!"

I flashed my red eyes at her, an ability I learned with finstock, and she shut up quickly."Move it." they both scrambled away quickly. I got a good grip under the boulder and heaved it up onto my shoulders then lifted it over my head. "Get him!" I growled, the kid showed no sign of moving and even with my super strength, the rock was a bit heavy. "Now!" They scrambled to pull the kid out, he had some scratches and bruising, but nothing time won't heal; however he was shaking pretty badly. I heaved the stone away from us and the path.

Boyd was calming him down and rubbing circles on his back. He was really pale, but that might have been from the stress, and he had curly blond hair with big blue eyes. If the girl hadn't said he was a friend, I would think they were related.

"Huh!? Wha-?! How did you do that!?"

"Erica."

"What?! You saw that too! Who are you!? You got that giant ass dog! And now you're super strong!"

"My girlfriend means thank you. Isaac here is grateful as well, but he is a little shaken right now. He doesn't do the best in confined places."

I ignore Erica, and focus on Isaac. "You're welcome. Is he ok?"

He seems to come back to himself a little and nods "I will be fine. Thank you, I would have been a goner."

"It was nothing. You three should probably go home and get him looked at."

I turn to go, but the girl catches my arm. "Wait. We don't have much, but let us repay you." I hesitate but she continues "I've never seen you before, and I bet you aren't from the city. You probably don't have a place to stay; we have some space. You can stay with us."

It's true we just got to the city and haven't thought about a place to stay yet. "Alright." And scott takes that as permission to go licking everyone.

A small ways away above the five, on a hidden cliff, stood three figures.

"Well done matt. You didn't manage to screw up my plan and was able to trap the boy with the rockslide."

"It was my pleasure sir." Stiles scoffed in the background.

"Now let's sit back and enjoy the show."

Stiles looked on with regret at the small group and whispered to himself. "Get out of there sourwolf."

Back with the everyone, Derek was hauling Scott off of Isaac. "Scott stop licking Isaac."

"It's alright, I didn't know he was so friendly."

"I should keep him leashed." Scott growled playfully at the comment.

"I don't think I got your name during the whole rush." Erica spoke up after wiping the drool off her face.

"Derek."

Just after the introduction, a loud growling noise could be heard. Everyone turned toward the end of the path to see two twin hulking figures making their way towards them and by the smell of them, Alphas. A matching set of elongated fangs and claws, more beast like faces than man; obviously not friendly.

"Now what do we have here Aiden?"

"looks like some new toys Ethan."

"Let's hope these last longer than our old ones. You're always so rough with our toys."

"Not my fault they're always so breakable, brother."

"Get out of here now. Me and Scott will handle this."

"No! You helped us, we won't leave you!"

Derek flashed his red eyes at them one more time, "Then Hide." Boyd grabbed the two and dragged them behind one of the fallen boulders. They were semi protected and still had a view of everything that was about to unfold.

"Oh no, some of our new playthings are running away."

"Don't worry Ethan, I'll get them!"

Derek unsheathed his sword and let out a menacing growl of his own. "You will have to go through me first."

"With pleasure."

Aiden attacked first, charging straight at Derek, claws going for his face. He was able to sidestep him, and get a swing at his arm. Ethan snuck up behind, but scott was able to tackle the alpha to the ground. Aiden took advantage of Derek's momentary distraction, clawing him in the back and dislodging his weapon. He right hooked him and sent the hero flying back against a rock, leaving a Derek sized dent in the stone. Scott was knocked back and double teamed by the snarling alphas. One of them bit his front leg the other bit at the juncture where the neck connected with the shoulder. His howls of agony got Derek back into action. He ripped the one from Scott's leg off and threw him high up into the air, then he grabbed the other as he let go of Scott to charge at him. He spins the alpha around like a discus and hurls him at the falling form of his brother. The timing was just right as they both crash into each other and smacked against one of the walls of the gorge.

"Alright! You Got Them!" "That was awesome!" Erica and Isaac cheer.

"Help me with Scott." The three rush out to assist the badly bleeding and limping hell hound. Just as they are able to support his weight, two twin roars shook the area. They turned to see the twin alphas standing, they both grabbed each other's neck and started to fuse. It was sickening as they heard bone crack and witnessed the combining of skin. Once the freaky transformation was done, a monstrous alpha, twice the size of Derek stood with a hideous scar like mark going straight down its form.

"Get him out of here now!" The three quickly helped the hobbling dog over to the minor safety of the boulder they were hiding behind.

The monstrous alpha and Derek circled each other, the other growling and snapping his jaw at him. Derek makes the first move this time, swinging his sword. He was able to slice a deep gash across the big alpha's chest, with the other's pained screams he thought he got the upper hand, but then the piece of metal was easily caught and chucked aside. They were swiping claws and throwing punches at each other. The beast caught an opening and slashed his face, he sunk his fangs in the exposed forearm. Derek let out a terrible howl of pain and was harshly tossed to the side. The beast chuckled at the supposed defeated hero and advanced on him slowly. Derek laid on the floor and slightly lifted his head at the approaching enemy. Just as he raised his claw for the finishing blow, Derek jumped back on his feet and grabbed the big boulder to the his side and through it at the shocked alpha. The rock broke in two at impact and the monstrous alpha was sent flying. As Derek approached the practically unconscious alpha, he picked the beast up and forcibly ripped the two from each other.

"Now I never want to see you two again. Accept the mercy I am giving you and do not return." As he dropped the twins who now looked completely human, they high tailed it in the opposite direction, for all intent and purposes with their tails between their legs.

"Oh My Hale! Derek! That was amazing!"

"Are you alright!?"

"I'm will be fine, let's get to you place." Just as he took a step he started to stumble, but Boyd steadied him.

"We will be forever in your dept."

"Let's just out of here." Derek was able to get back on his feet and the five went on their way.

Up on the hidden cliff. Peter was having a minor meltdown.

"So much for your oh so brilliant plan."

"Shut it you pathetic bitch."

"Oh demeaning name calling. Well haven't you reached a new low."

"Aiden and Ethan were obviously not up to the job. MATT!"

"YES!"

"Send in the others, and make sure to tell Deucalion the outcome of today's little skirmish. GO!" Matt without hesitation transformed into a bird and flew off. Peter with suppressed anger stormed off, but Stiles held back a little and watched the group leave.

"Way to go. Hope you can keep it up sourwolf."
