Unfortunately, the handcuffs didn’t work. Void simply broke them apart. I had to take another deep breath as Allison and I entered the loft. Allison shoots him with the electric taser, but void-stiles grabs the wires.
The electricity does nothing to him. It was kind of surprising. Derek and Dad tried attacking him but Void beat them easily. I don’t know how, considering they had years on Stiles body. But I guess the nogitsune adds strength to him.
Argent holds up a gun, safety off. Void seemed amused. “Argent, listen to me,” Stilinski said. “Don’t do this.”
“Why not?” Argent questioned. “I've done it before... Werewolves, Berserkers... I can easily add a Nogitsune to the list.”
“You're not going to shoot my son!” Argent shakes his head. “You said it yourself, Sheriff-- that's not your son.”
“Dad, he's going to shoot me.” Void said, pretending to sound scared. “He's going to kill me, Dad.”
“Stop it!” I yelled at them. None of this was helping. Strife, Chaos, Pain. “This is what he wants! This is exactly what he wants!”
Void smirks and then shakes his head. “Not exactly... I was kind of hoping Scott would be here. But, I'm glad you all have your guns out…”
The sun then goes down around us, and the oni matteralized in front of us. It’s a bunch of them. All of them armed with their blades. “Because you aren't here to kill me–” Void corrects us as he takes shelter behind Argent and Stilinski.
“You're here to protect me.”
That slimy son of a bitch. Argent and Stilinski began to shoot them. Dad and Derek guarded Void's sides and Allison and I guarded his back. I can’t believe this.
I would rather the Oni kill him now, but killing Void means they kill Stiles. And he knew we couldn’t let that happen. I hate that he’s a freaking genius.
I ducked from one of their blades as they rushed in, I dropped down on all fours and swung my leg under it. Allison rushes in and stabs the figure on the chest as soon as it’s down.
I blasted the figure, with whatever random power I have. I was a tad bit surprised that it came back this time. So now it comes back.
Scott, Kira and my mom rushed in. And for a second I thought they were more Oni that I almost blasted them. “What happened?” They asked as they looked around at all of us.
Derek had an open wound across his shoulder. I was bruised but I don’t think I got cut by any of them. But they were gone. They just vanished out of thin air. And so did Stiles.
“They disappeared.” Allison told them, “They literally just vanished.”
Stilinski sighed. “And so did Stiles.”

“What are you doing?” Peter asked as my parents and I dumped chess pieces on the table. We went back to his house and took the game.
Derek thought we could use it, I don’t know how we could use it. I don’t even know how to play chess.
He looked us over, at our bruises. At Derek’s cut on his shoulder. “More importantly, why aren't you healing?”
“It's from one of their swords.” I told Peter as I helped Derek place the figures on the board.
He kept changing them whenever I put them on one of the squares. I still don’t get chess. And I probably never will.
“It'll heal.”
“By playing chess?”
Mom rolled her eyes. “Back in his room, Stiles had a board with my name on one of the pieces.” Derek told him.
“If this is a game to him, then I need to figure out the plays.”
“Not so easy to do when it's a game without rules.” Peter said cryptically. “What does that mean?”
Mom sighed as she explained. “You're dealing with the kind of spirit that's lived too long to play by human rules. It's a fox spirit that chose to become human-- and supposedly, that's something they can do only after about one hundred years.”
Peter nods and continues. “If a Kitsune is an annoying pain-in-the-ass, then a Nogitsune, which is a dark Kitsune, is a freaking disaster.”
“Besides, chess is Stiles' game.” Peter said. “It's not the game of a Japanese Fox.” I guess he wasn’t wrong.
“Do yourself a favor and put something on that... before it gets infected.” Now that I could agree, he was right.

“The couch–” I ordered as Aiden and Deaton carried an unconscious Stiles through the house. Lydia had found him without even trying to find him at some parking lot. It looked like Stiles, of course it did. But we had no idea if it was even him. I didn’t feel comfortable bringing him here to Scott's house. Yes, it was covered in mountain ash. But I could think of another place that might be capable of holding him.
“Guys, this is crazy.” Melissa exclaimed as they put Stiles on the couch. “He needs to be in the hospital!”
“Mom, remember what happened last time he went to the hospital?” Scott reminds her. I don’t think we needed reminding. That raven was still following me around, it was keeping its distance. But this morning it nearly took my ear out. I don’t even know why.
Deaton lifted the hem of Stiles' shirt to show a deep wound. It looked like it was a cut made deliberately. “It doesn't look like he's bleeding. I think he might even be healing.”
“You mean, healing like we heal?”
“That's good, right?” Scott said, trying to look on the bright side. Deaton looks back at us. “For him, yes. Us? I'm not so sure.”
“Well, if we're not going to kill him, why aren't we at least tying him down with really big chains?” Aiden asks. It wasn’t a bad idea. I have some chains in the trunk of my car we could use.
“I might have something more effective.” Deaton says. He walked up with a case and held up a vile of venom. At least I assume it was venom. Stiles was still unconscious, but Aiden and Scott still held him down as Deaton put the drops in his mouth. Void wakes up quickly, causing me to flinch as he grabs Aiden by the throat. “Get him off me! Get him off me!”
I grabbed Void's hand, that purple flare sparking under my touch which caused Void to react quickly and pull back. Aiden steps back, rubbing his neck. Void's arm goes limp and falls next to him. Void glares at us, at Deaton. “Kanima venom... Nice touch.”
Void laughs when Aiden draws his claws out and roars at him in anger. I step in front of him, warning him to back off. That might be the nogitsune but it was also still Stiles. “You know how they say that twins get a feeling when the other one's in pain? You didn't lose that power too, did you?”
I almost gasp at what he had said. Aiden goes stiff next to me. Ethan. What had he done? “Oh, I hope not! You're going to need it. Okay, I'll give a little hint– Ethan's at the school.”
Aiden looks at Scott for permission to leave. “Go!”
I fished out my keys and handed them to Aiden, he was going to need to get them fast and running would take long. “Don’t scratch it.” I warned him as he closed his hand around them. He gives me a thankful nod before rushing away.
Void laughs as Aiden leaves. “Oh, I hope he gets there in time. I like the twins-- short tempers, homicidal compulsions... They're a lot more fun than you bakemono trying to save the world every day.”
Melissa breaths in. “Doc, you brought something to paralyze his body. You got anything for his mouth?”
Deaton nods. “Yes, I do.” He takes black tape and puts it on his mouth, void screams.
