ANOTHER STORY ANOTHER TIME

CHAPTER FORTY TWO * RIGHT LEFT

Pushing the window up, the dust crumbled off with a bit of dirt into Stiles's hair as he entered the building quietly, he had extended his hand to help each, and every person get in due to the small ledge to stand on under the window on the inside. Isaac was the last to enter the building nearly slipping off the weakening interior ledge. He looked around and smirked, 

"You would think we were playing "Tomb Raider" with all the crap we have to do to get in here." 

"It's a good thing we all have played that." Stiles laughed as they all started their way down the bookshelves. The group turned to the left, the arched door led to the entry, so they headed to the back of the building. Scott was carefully looking around, 

"We need to find another doorway, I bet there is an extensive basement here, maybe even a larger sub-basement." Max walked forward,

 "I think it's this way, I only ever entered this place on foot once." Liam moved in closer to Max. High calmly asked Max,

"How long have you been with this entity?" Max looked at Liam 

"Probably since before you were baby." Liam thought that one through, his heart went out to Max, and he knew they had to help him and Michael. 

"Stiles." Isaac loudly whispered, he had gone up a small flight of stairs that led to a door, after he opened it, there was a flight of stairs that actually led down. 

"What the hell," Stiles and the rest approached and followed Isaac down, sure enough like Scott predicted, there was a huge basement. 

"Ok Liam, your turn." Liam pulled out a device he borrowed from the S.I.U tool vault. He looked at the floor plan in the mini screen and compared it to his physical surroundings. 

"Follow me, the chip is about seventy meters behind that door."  As they crept forward, they moved through cobwebs and stirred up large amounts of dust. A low hum could be heard, then it grew until the room lit up with red, blue, and purple light. Then the lightning started, the vortex opened and out stepped Michael with two Oni, Ogmios and Fiona. Michael was wearing some garment that either made him look like Luke Skywalker, or a new age samurai. Max grimaced, Stiles turned to him, 

"You're still a bit weak, stand behind us, but keep an eye out please." Max nodded politely and took a step back, As the group gathered in a large circle, several small rays of light went off as a voice in heard.

"Awe the weaker one is scared, you should be, this one is so much stronger than you ever were. It's a shame the Bitch chose the wrong child" Fiona stopped and turned around and started towards the Entity, 

"You cannot challenge me old women." She stopped and turned and started chanting.

Michael looked at Stiles, his eyes were blood shot and his face looked like he had aged several years.

"Sorry Stiles, but I have no choice in this, I must do as he wishes." In that second, Michael threw lightning bolts at Stiles group striking everyone but Stiles, the bolts also hit on the ground and the shelve with books being stored on them catching fire, mostly because the room was dry, and the books were old. 

"You don't have to do this Michael, we can help you, please." Ogmios rose above them,

"If you cannot take care of this scrawny human than I will," as he showered Stiles with red lightning, Stiles eyes rolled back, and his body shook as he was lifted into the air. His body tightened as he rose higher, almost touching the ceiling. 

The room was starting to have to many fires in it as the smoke rose to the ceiling. Several shelves were on fire as well.  At that second Chris, Noah, Jackson and Malia all burst into the room. Noah instinctively started shooting at the Ogmios, who had his son in some kind of lightning bubble. 

Max snuck around the room on the floor slowly, he was looking around trying to figure out how to get to his brother. Fiona threw a small red lightning orb at Jackson hitting him in the head, he didn't even get to scream, as his eye's rolled back, and he limply fell to the floor. Ethan seeing what had just happened jumped the old lady sending her flying towards Malia. 

Scott and Isaac were on the ground, wolfed into their beta form they both leapt to their feet both started fighting the Oni.

Another vortex opened causing the heat in the room to rise, which caused the sprinklers to come on. Out of the newest vortex there were several more Oni entering the room. Ethan looked at Michael, then towards Stiles, he quietly whispered Stiles's name as Stiles eyes slowly opened, he slowly lifted his head and looked at Ethan, 

"Stiles, right left, remember right left." Stiles slightly nodded, Michael could see the two men communicating, his inner turmoil had quickly vanished as the Ogmios's power on him increased.

"Enough of this!" He shot a red lightning bubble at Ethan, as Ethan throws a red shaped heart at Stiles, Stile had put all his strength into moving his right hand, and the Ogmios could sense it, the creature aimed his hand at Stiles right hand and increased the power he was using on him, then at the last second Stiles pushed his left hand threw the bubble now that the Ogmios was caught off guard, and caught the heart. Ethan fell to the floor next to Jackson. Stiles's bubble started to implode on itself. He then took all of the energy and shot it at the Ogmios. 

Malia had just punched the old women in the face as she finally fell to the ground. Michael turned and could see Noah and Chris headed his way. Throwing a blue bubble at the ground in front of the two men, the floor splintered and collapsed in pulling them into another lower level, Stiles seeing this took that second to run at Michael and grabbed him around the arms. Both men were surrounded by the large lightning as they struggled to outmaneuver the other. Max finally made it without being noticed, he stood and fell forward grabbing onto Michael and Stiles. As the three struggled the Ogmios looked at the situation, turning he started to create a new vortex.

 Jordan and Joey entered the large room. Jordan created a fire ball as big as a five-gallon paint bucket. The Oni seeing the vortex start to enter, Jordan forcefully throws the fire ball into the vortex where the Ogmios turned just as it hit him, the vortex started to close, the Ogmios looked as if he was disintegrating along with the Oni into smaller pieces, he screamed which caused the floor to start to break apart, with everyone falling through as the room lit up in a vibrantly yellow light.

Several moments later.

Malia stood brushing the dust and water off of her face, she reached for Jordan and helped him up. Jordan looked up at the collapsed ceiling, which now had water dripping down. They looked around and found Noah and Chris had already stood being the first to fall in. Joey was pulling Jackson out of a small pile of rubble, and Ethan was sitting up holding a scrap of his shirt on a large cut on his head. Noah inventoried the people, as a door opened and out stepped the General, Joey quickly got to him to help him continue stand. Noah looked around again,

 "Stiles, where is my son?" 

The group searched for both Stiles, Michael and Max for an hour, as the rescue services continued, they argued whether to go back to the boat house. Nobody wanted to leave, each stating Stiles wouldn't leave them behind. Chris heard a phone ring, 

"Noah your phone is ringing." Noah pulled it out he didn't want to explain what happened, not yet. He answered the phone anyway. 

"Yes." Natalie was on the other end. 

"I think you all need to get home, ah Stiles, Michael and a Michael clone, are down in the basement unconscious." Everyone was outside waiting. The group headed to the boat house, with their anxiety level was high.
