Earth 616

"Soooo," Eli remarked, staring at the flying alien in a blue suit and red cape, who was the spitting image of his late father. "You're some extraterrestrial refugee who is some powerful superhero who saves lives on your world. Oh and you wear red underwear on the outside of your tights."

The Derek lookalike nodded. "Exactly. Oh and the suit was a combination of a look my adoptive mother made and the family crest of my home planet. The underwear is part of the uniform."

Stiles added to the conversation. "And the S stands for your hero moniker and…"

"Hope," the Derek twin smiled. "I protect people and fight for truth, justice, and the…"

"Kick ass method," Eli finished his sentence. "Am I right?"

The Derek clone laughed. "Something like that." He caught the two of them staring at him intensely. "I'm sorry but you both look like you've seen a ghost."

Blushing, Stiles looked down. Damn, he looks so much like Derek but he's not. I really miss him. Thank goodness, the alien did not have super psychic abilities and could read his mind.

Lookalike Derek folded his arms. "I'm guessing the guy who looks like me was someone close to both of you?"

Eli went first. "My Dad. He died saving the world. I think about him all the time."

Twin Derek bit his lip. "I can't imagine the pain of losing a parent, Eli. I lost both my adoptive parents and it still haunts me even today. Grief, as much as it hurts, only makes us stronger and your father was a brave man."

Stiles sighed. "How do you get through it when you lose someone you…I mean lost a close friend." He shoved his hands into his pockets.

"You live," the Derek clone advised. "You keep moving and keep their memories alive by living day to day. Luckily, I have the blessing of my wife, my family, my two sons…"

Stiles and Eli looked down the street to see Melissa conversing with clone Derek's wife. According to him, she is an ace journalist but to the duo, she was an actress on television in their world where she played a supporting player to supernatural shapeshifting creatures based on fairytale stories. It was weird seeing how different she was in this universe.

A few blocks away, Chris, Allison, and even the sheriff stopped a bank heist with the assistance of a woman in a bat costume. Chris and Allison admired her vigilante style while Noah Stilinski compromised his own moral code of going against law enforcement procedures. Still, they got the job done.

Scott, in the meantime, was enamored with the red suited guy who could race at the speed of light around him like a bolt of lightning. Even the Alpha couldn't run that fast.

Finally, Harry the Pug enjoyed cuddles and pets by Kuza who watched each of her soldiers having some downtime with the people of this universe. However, she knew the Beast would be making an appearance soon.

"The bat thing," Allison asked the female superhero in the black suit, cowl and cape. "Is this supposed to scare people or put the fear of god into the bad guys? No offense but it looks like you're an attendee at a fetish convention."

"None taken," laughed the vigilante superheroine. "Yeah, this costume is crazy but, trust me, it works. You get use to seeing the outfits many of my peers wear. There's this superpowered Amazon princess who runs around in a bathing suit."

Noah Stilinksi's eyes widened. "Like in Baywatch?"

The superheroine raised her brows through her cowl. "What's a Baywatch?"

"A cheesy show from the 90's that should never have happened in our universe," Chris said sarcastically.

The superheroine laughed and turned to Allison. "You know, Allison, if ever you want to go the superhero route, you could do the archer thing. My friend is this Robin Hood type but a bit more moody…"

Allison shook her head. "Thanks but I'll stick to doing the monster hunting thing in our universe."

"Like that television show Slayers?" The female vigilante asked. "That is so badass."

"Slayers?" Allison asked her. "Like Buffy?"

The vigilante looked confused. "What's a Buffy? I'm talking Faith and Kendra."

Down the block, Scott was really impressed with the scarlet speedster hero's ability to move like lightning around him. The velocity by which this superhero was running was amazing.

"Have you really tested how fast you run?" Scott asked the superhero.

"Last time, I checked." The speedster explained. "We're looking at 17150 ms -1, give or take, but again I can break through the time barrier and travel through time but that causes a whole bunch of problems. How about you guys? I see you're traveling through infinite earths."

"Yeah," Scott replied. "But we're being careful not to tamper with any time streams. Don't want to cause that butterfly effect thing by changing realities in our timeline."

"I feel ya," the speed superhero remarked. "I did that and, boy, did that create some issues." He paused to ask another question. "Is it true you're a werewolf and that you don't need a full moon to transform?"

Scott nodded. "Yup, but I don't do the full wolf thing. I haven't gotten that down yet but I can do this." He displayed his claws on his one hand.

"Cool!" The speedster said impressed. "You know you could do that superhero thing on your world."

"Yeah," Scott agreed. "But our world is not ready to handle supernatural creatures, much less superheroes."

On the other side, Melissa chatted with clone Derek's wife.

"How does it feel being the only human among a world of superheroes?" Melissa asked the alien's spouse.

"Honestly, weird," said the wife. "Now it's my new normal. You get used to it. My husband might be this extraterrestrial superhero and I got one kid who has powers so you learn to deal. It's just another day in the office. And you, Miss McCall? How does it feel having a werewolf for a son?"

Melissa giggled. "I can relate. Other than having a lycanthropic son but my boyfriend is a monster killer. Yeah, you learn to adjust."

"Tell me about it," the wife sighed. "Try cleaning up after one of your family members causes damage to the kitchen with heat vision or freeze breath."

"Girl, I've always have to constantly cover the walls from all the scratch marks around my house and broken furniture," Melissa laughed. "There's no insurance for that!"

"We should start a business," the spouse snickered..

Melissa nodded with the joke. "An insurance policy business for the supernatural and super powerful!"

The wife folded her arms. "We could make a killing in the insurance game."

"Yeah," sighed Melissa. "But I would have to convince the people of our world that coexistence with the supernatural would have to happen first." She threw up her hands. "Maybe someday."

One could only dream.

Harry the Pug nestled in Kuza's arms as they both sensed something coming. He barked.

"What is it, Harry?" The kitsune asked the pooch. "Is it the Beast?"

She looked up and sure enough a bright portal appeared in the sky and the blackened mist of a large mass entered into this universe. She gently put down Harry and readied her katana.

"It's here!" She yelled to her friends.

Everyone stopped their conversations and braced for battle.

The Beast roared as it saw this version of Derek Hale in front of him. It darted toward the superhero, claws ready to kill.

However, his colleagues got to him first. Some fast raced around him, forming a cyclone barrier that prevented him from moving toward him. Suddenly a boomerang shaped like a bat was thrown at him, exploding every bit of tendril smoke in different ways before returning to its original form. It roared even more furiously than before.

"It's not that easy to kill!" Stiles told his new friends.

"Don't worry," winked the alien Derek. "I got this."

Flying toward the Beast, the monster took a swing with his claws but the superpowered extraterrestrial dodged each blow and released a stream of icy, cold air from his breath. Freezing him into a statue, the superhero then picked him up and noticed the glowing portal above him.

"Wait!" Kuza protested. "I have to first…"

Too late, the superhero launched the cold statue into the portal until it closed. Everyone was now safe.

"Shit!" Kuza scowled. "You could have waited until I killed it."

The Derek superhero shrugged. "Sorry. Besides, killing isn't our thing in this world."

"I realize that," the kitsune exhaled. "I guess we'll have to track it down again!" She tapped her katana to the ground, opening up a light portal behind her. Gesturing to her group, she nodded for them to follow. "Let's go. Onward to the next world!"

Her soldiers said goodbye to their new friends and entered through the dimensional gate. The last to leave was Stiles who saluted the Derek alien.

"You know, Stiles," the superhero said. "Your friendship is what keeps your friends truly superpowered."

Stiles smiled and replied. "With great power, comes great responsibility."

The Derek clone cocked his head. "Poignant. Where did you get that bit of wisdom from?"

"Some movie," Stiles said. "Something about a spider and a man. Anyway, I stole it cause I need a good cliche quote. Anway, see ya!" And he jumped into the portal that closed behind him.

"You know, hon," his wife smiled at him. "If we ever have another kid and it's a boy, we could name him Stiles."

"Let's not," said the superhero.

At least, they agreed on something.


Earth 51720

The crunch of winter snow beneath their feet did not prepare them for the frigid, cold air of the mountainous regions. Concealed behind an ice shaped boulder, the kitsune's circle of soldiers shivered beneath their light clothing as they tried to make sense of where they were.

"Couldn't the Beast have chosen a warmer climate?" Eli's teeth chattered, as his light long sleeved shirt did very little to cover how cold it was.

Stiles rubbed the boy's arms to warm him. "Try not to think about it and we'll be out of here soon." The FBI agent assured him. He addressed Kuza. "How long before our next jump?"

"Hopefully soon," Kuza replied, as she too shivered. "That damn Beast usually makes his presence known before we least expect it."

"Can't you do something?" Chris asked the kitsune. "Your tails can create magic. How about conjuring some fire?"

Kuza scowled as Harry the pug whined next to her. "I could but it will alert any possible enemies in the area. I don't want to put us at risk by giving up our location."

"At this point," the sheriff told her. "We'll be frozen solid before the Beast makes an appearance."

"Noah is right," Melissa agreed. "Your circle of soldiers aren't to make it at this temperature."

"If you're like the Kira from our world," Scott told her. "She'd want to help her friends."

Kuza frowned. "Fine!" She clucked. "But be ready if any threats come near us!"

Taking out her katana, she struck the snow, causing her eyes to glow yellow as the fox spirit appeared around her. Her tails cracked a sound of lightning as it dispersed around everyone, causing a large ball of flame to appear in the middle. The fire did help melt some of the ice, it offered a temporary solution to creating heat for the team.

"Happy now?" Kuza rolled her eyes.

"Thank you, Kuza," Allison said with a smile, offering some gratitude to the kitsune. The supernatural creature did not appear impressed.

Suddenly roaring could be heard from down below the edge of the cliff near the rock that hid them. Chris and the sheriff went to investigate first, looked down, and hurriedly rushed back to their teammates.

"What is it?" Melissa asked the duo.

"There is a weird battle going down below," said Chris. "There's some dilapidated castle or fort and hundreds of men and women in D & D garb fighting each other."

"What?" Stiles's mouth dropped upon hearing Chris Argent's confession.. "You play D & D?"

"When I was a kid," said Chris proudly. "But I grew up."

"Lemme see!" Scott replied with curiosity. The Alpha went toward the edge and covered his mouth. "Guys, you might want to see this!"

The group marched to the edge. Sure enough, below their hiding spot of the cliff, they could see hundreds of warriors and knights battling it out with swords and shields, but it was the long haired, bearded ruffian in furs and leather who raised his sword that caught everyone's attention.

"Derek!" Stiles whispered.

"Dad?" Eli gasped.

"No," Kuza advised the two. "His doppelganger in this universe, remember?"

She was right. This was not their Derek but a beaten down warrior who had spent time on the battlefield. They observed the situation.

"Winter is here! And so are our enemies. Many lone wolves have died, but their packs survive for their one purpose…to see me on the Diamond Throne. We all must fight for the glory of Easterbon!"

"Fuck!" Noah Stilinski gritted. "Another internal monologue in this world. Doesn't this ever end?"

"Shh," Stiles told his father. "This is getting good!"

"I am the last of the family line. I, Deron Halestorm-Coldsnap, of the House of Halestorm-Coldsnap will defend my family home, Icejump, from the traitorous enemies!"

"Damn!" Stiles commented. "This Derek…I mean Deron Halestorm-Coldsnp, is looking hot in those leathers and fur!"

Eli rolled his eyes. "Eww, can you not act thirsty around my dad?"

Stiles grinned. "Technically, he's not your dad in this universe so all bets are off!"

Eli frowned. "It still counts!"

"Shh," Allison shushed the two. "I spy Scott's and my doppelganger on the far right there!" She pointed to the group of warriors on horseback. In the rear stood, clone versions of themselves but sporting blondish hair. "No offense, but blonde does not look good on me."

"Or me!" Scott protested. "I look like I belong in a boyband."

"Those traitorous cowards! The Argensters! They began this war for the Diamond Throne and used their manipulative and deceptive ways to dispose of anyone in line for the monarchy. Those incestuous twins, Scaimie and Allisersie! Their immoral act defies the gods but their true abhorrent nature for war is another thing to discuss!"

"Beloved!" Scamie Argenster said to his twin sibling, Allisersie. "We must delight in the many massacres we've created. This war is the means to achieving the Diamond Throne!"

"Of course, brother," agreed Allisersie. "May the snow be drenched in red! Now let us celebrate with a kiss!"

"The pair embrace while all other parties fall! Such degradation cannot be accepted!"

"What in the V C Andrews?" Allison's mouth dropped. "We're siblings committing Sweet Home Alabama? I hope we don't have any kids!"

Scott nodded and gagged. "What kind of fucked up world did we enter?"

Kuza grinned. "A fantasy reality. Who knows what kind of morals these people have?"

A screech came up above as a huge dragon appeared. However, it was the person riding it that really shocked everyone.

"Holy fuck!" Stiles gasped. "That's me and I'm practically naked and riding Godzilla!"

"I am Stileesi Stillborn of the House of Fire Island-Garian!" The doppelganger declared. "As is my birthright, I shall punish all for the destruction of my family and my legacy! I, Stileesi, The Dragon Prince, declare it as a I burn this fortress and everyone around it to the ground!"

"And I'm a fantasy nutjob in this world too!" Stiles clucked. "Is there a universe where I'm not the villain of the story?"

"On the upside," Scott remarked. "You get to ride a dragon around."

"Stileesi, the Dragon Prince, my former lover and ambitious usurper to the throne torched all of Icejump to make his point known! But I'm a Hailstorm-Coldsnap and won't be bested by such arrogance! I will fight to the death!"

"You got to admit," Chris noted. "That Deran guy is willing to die on the battlefield!"

"Just like Derek," whispered Stiles.

"Screams of anguish of the flaming bodies filled the air. Only death and destruction was present at this moment but there was more to come for our treacherous clan made up of the imp Chrisirion, the enuch Lord Noahys and the witch Melissander entered the courtyard."

"Hold up!" Chris protested. "I'm a little person in this world?"

"Why are you complaining?" The sheriff frowned. "I'm a eunuch."

"At least, I'm a human witch in this one," Melissa remarked.

"The traitorous interlopers chanted their spell, releasing something vile and sinister…The ice zombies."

"Ice zombies?" Allison groaned. "Seriously?"

"They ain't kidding!" Scott replied. He pointed to the burning region. "Look!"

"From the unholy ground, the dead rose. Frozen and decrepit they screeched to satisfy their hunger for the living. The folly of our villainous trio did not realize these abominations could not be controlled. They have risen and they needed to feed…"

"Oh shit!" Eli gasped. "Two of them just ate the midget and the dickless one!"

"Hey!" Stiles corrected Eli. "That's un-PC. It's little person and eunuch!"

"Either way, both our clones are dead!" Chris rolled his eyes.

Melissa cringed and covered eyes. "Count mine too. One just is chewing on their face!"

Harry the pug barked. Kuza looked down to see a light portal opening.

"Everyone," she said. "I think the Beast is going to make an appearance."

"From a strange door of an unknown land, a Beast appeared. Having no allegiance, the ice zombies attacked their potential meal but instead the thing dispatched them with ease and the strength of fifty horses. Dragon flame did not affect it as it surpassed the fire and killed, not only my men, but the Argentsters as well! Just as the incestuous siblings appeared in battle, they were murdered by the removal of their heads!"

Allison covered her eyes and gasped. "Eww, I didn't know the Beast could do that!"

"Thank God, it's them not us!" Scott said.

"Not satisfied with the kill, the Beast then challenged Stileesi, the Dragon Rider. Dodging the flames, my former lover flew his beast too low to the ground, giving the abomination the opportunity to climb the dragon. Now helpless to evade the monster, Stileesi of the House of Fire Island-Garian was torn in half! Now that leaves only me and the only line of the Diamond Throne!"

Upon witnessing his twin being ripped open, Stiles covered his mouth in horror. "This thing is a killing machine!"

Kuza agreed. "Ever more reason to destroy it!"

"I, Deron Halestorm-Coldsnap, now must face the Beast alone! I am now the true king of Easterborn and lay claim to the Diamond Throne! It is my courage and bravery and the hopes of my people that I…AAAAAACCCCCKKKK!"

"Holy shit!" Eli pointed to the massacre below. "The Beast killed twin Derek!"

Sure enough, the Beast impaled this Hale version with its claws before releasing a roar of victory. A light portal appeared and the monster tossed off the corpse and entered into it before vanishing. Now left to witness the aftermath of the attack, the group watched from below as scorched ice and dead bodies appeared everywhere.

"So much for a happy ending," Chris noted. "In war there are no victors, especially in a game involving thrones."

"Still the Beast escaped," Kuza noted. "It's on to the next world." She struck the katana into the ice and released her light portal. Everyone entered on to their new adventure leaving Stiles to look around one last time. He picked up Harry the pug.

"To Stileesi, the Dragon Prince," he said. "Hope you and Deron find peace in the afterlife." He entered the portal with the pooch and vanished.

Harry the pug let out a sad bark.
