Chapter 22- De-Void

^Happy Thanksgiving my amazing readers!

Here is your well deserved and super late chapter... sorry guys.^

Scott and Kira race on Scott's dirt bike toward Derek's Loft.

~Inside Derek's loft.

Sheriff Stilinski approaches Stiles and pulls out a pair of handcuffs. "You want to handcuff me?"Stiles asks. "If my son is still here, if there's still a part of him standing here in front of me, then he'll put these on willingly and he'll come with me, because he knows I'm here to protect him from himself and from others."Sheriff Stilinski says holding out the hand cuffs. Stiles complies but then quickly breaks the cuffs, revealing he's the Nogitsune. "You're not my son."Sheriff Stilinski says. Allison, Derek and Chris enter and take turns attacking Stiles. Allison hits him with a tazer which Nogitsune Stiles catches and holds as electricity courses through the line. Derek attacks but is easily tossed aside. Chris pulls out his automatic pistol and levels it at Stiles. "Argent, listen to me. Don't do this."Sheriff Stilinski says. "Why not? I've done it before. Werewolves, berserkers. I can easily add a Nogitsune to the list."Chris adds. "You're not going to shoot my son."The Sheriff replies. "You said it yourself, Sheriff. That's not your son."Chris says. "Put it down. Put it down, dad."Allison says. "Dad, he's going to shoot me. He's going to kill me, Dad."Nogitsune Stiles says but then he turns to Chris. "Pull the trigger. Come on."He dares Chris. Both Allison and Stilinski implore Chris not to shoot. Sheriff Stilinski pulls his gun and points it at Argent's head demanding that he lower his weapon. You can see the sun begins to set through Derek's loft window.

~Scott's Motorcycle.

Scott is still enroot with Kira.

~Sheriff Stilinski's car.

Sadie sits there and uses her powers to see what's happening, having figured out what the Nogitsune wants she rushes out of the car, runs into the building and starts quickly up the stairs.

~Derek's loft.

"Strife."Allison whispers to herself as she watches the scene in front of her. "Stop, stop it! This is what he wants. This is exactly what he wants."Allison shouts and they look at her. Nogitsune Stiles smirks, "Not exactly. I was kind of hoping Scott and Sadie would be here."He says. "I'm here."Sadie says walking into the loft and everyone looks at her. "You wanted us here for a reason, they think they're here to kill you, but you really want us here to protect you."She says and Nogitsune Stiles smiles and claps his hands twice, "Nice work Sadie. Beauty and brains, you could be of use."He says and before anyone could say anything else the Oni manifest and phase through the loft's large main window. Chris goes to shoot them and finds his gun won't fire. He drops it and draws another but the gunfire has no effect on the demons.

~Outside Derek's loft.

Scott and Kira arrive to hear gunfire from the loft and they run inside the building.

~Inside Derek's loft

Scott and Kira run into the loft to see the Oni's gone along with Stiles. "What happened?"Scott asked as he helped up Derek who had gotten cut on the back and shoulder by one of the Oni's swords. "They disappeared. They literally just vanished."Chris said. "Guys, Stiles is gone."Sadie says.

~Eichen House Basement.

Noshiko Yukimura enters the basement and makes her way to the wall where the body of Corporal Rhys is entombed. Nogitsune Stiles appears behind her,"Why that kanji? Why "self"?"He asks her. "To signify that he died as himself. Because Rhys wasn't a monster, not like you."She says looking at him. "If I'm such a monster, why'd you call off the oni? What happened to the woman who called out for chaos, strife, and pain to descend upon everyone and everything? What happened?"He asked her. "I don't want that anymore."She simply replies. "I do."Stiles counters and he snatches away her dagger, her last "tail." "Did you bring this here thinking you could hide it from me?"He taunts her. "Bad Idea" He says and then cuts into his own stomach. A swarm of flies comes boiling out, "What have you done?"She asks him and he smiles, "Chaos is coming again."He replies and then the flies briefly surround Noshiko and then dissipate. Nogitsune Stiles is gone...
