Foresight

Chapter 51: 3-22

Scott and Kira race on Scott's dirt bike toward Derek's Loft. Sheriff Stilinski approaches Stiles and asks him to willingly put himself in handcuffs. Nogitsune/Stiles complies but then quickly breaks the cuffs.

"Well that's a waste of good cuffs" Stiles frowned.

Allison, Derek and Chris enter and take turns attacking Stiles. Allison hits him with a Taser which Stiles catches and holds as electricity courses through the line. Derek attacks but is easily tossed aside.

"Seeing the nogitsune fight like that in Stiles body actually makes him look cooler" Isaac snorted before he felt a pillow hit him in the face. Stiles blinked looking at Isaac who was leaning back in his seat and followed the direction from where the pillow came from to see Malia smiling. Stiles let out a small smile back at her.

Argent pulls his automatic pistol and levels it at Stiles. Nogitsune/Stiles feigns distress and begs his father to save him. Then turns to Argent and dares him to shoot him.

"Oh that twisted fuck" Stiles growled.

Both Allison and Stilinski implore Argent not to shoot. Stilinski pulls his gun and points it at Argent's head demanding that he lower his weapon.

Chris put his hand up when he saw Noah open his mouth, "I understand. If it was Allison, I would have done the same" he said with a small smile.

The sun begins to set. Scott is still enroute with Kira. Allison points out that this chaos is exactly what the Nogitsune wants but Stiles says it's not exactly what he wants because he'd hoped Scott would be there. Stiles says he is glad everyone has their guns out because he drew them to the loft not to kill him but to protect him. The Oni manifest and phase through the loft's large main window. Argent finds his gun won't fire, drops it and draws another but the gunfire has no effect on the demons.

"I think we already established that the things cannot be killed by human means" Derek sighed.

We don't see the fight that follows. Scott and Kira arrive to hear gunfire from the loft but when he makes it up stairs the demons are gone as is Stiles. At some point during the fight, the Oni managed to slice into Derek's shoulder and back. Noshiko Yukimura enters the basement at Eichen House and makes her way to the wall where the body of Corporal Rhys is entombed. Stiles appears behind her and asks why she carved the kanji for "Self" into the wall. She says to signify that Rhys died as himself and not as a monster.

"Only in death do we show our real face" Talia mumbled. "I wonder which face you showed sister" Peter said with a look at Talia.

It turns out that Noshiko called off the Oni at the loft. Stiles asks why and wants to know what happened to the woman who called out for chaos, strife, and pain to descend upon everyone and everything. Noshiko says she doesn't want that anymore. Stiles counters that he does and snatches away her dagger, her last "tail," and cuts into his own stomach.

Noah, Claudia, Scott and Melissa wince in unison seeing the wound being inflected. Stiles though had no changes in his demeanor.

A swarm of flies comes boiling out, briefly surround Noshiko and then dissipate. Stiles is gone.

Stiles twitches a little, "gross" he leaned forward and made hurling noises.

At the hospital, we hear buzzing and have a fly's-eye-view of Melissa McCall carrying a file down the hall. She places it in one of the holders attached to the wall and the fly lands on it. The file is that of Isaac Lahey. The fly takes to the air once more and goes into Isaac's room. His electrical burns have healed. The fly lands near the cannula and trocar needle that is delivering intravenous fluids into Isaac's arm. The bug crawls between the pieces of tape holding the gear in place and enters Isaac's body. His eyes fly open and flash golden yellow.
