[Teen Wolf : A Chimera Rising—Chapter 78]

—[Moments before the confrontation]—

—[Clones Pov]—

Slowly he walked out of the woods, besides him were two other clones sent by the boss.

Breaking through the foliage they found themselves in Beacon High, where at the moment a school dance was underway.

Already they could see that the air was filled with fear, students were already shuffling out, spooked by what they had probably seen happen to Lydia.

They had known what would happen to her, their scout clone having been keeping quite an eye out recently for their targets.

And they never intervened because they needed Lydia to be bitten by Peter before they could move in a grab her.

But even then they weren't here for her, another squad of three was already enroute for her.

They were here for someone else the Boss wanted in his plans.

“ Scout clone found her, should we move now?” A clone besides him said, him being connected deeply with the Scout currently in the school.

“ Anyone close to her?” He asked.

“ No, she's in the history classroom, alone.”

“ Good, then let's move.” He muttered, walking up to the school but making sure not to be seen.

They weaved through the students outside the school, entering through open windows before converging into the hallways unseen.

But even if they were to be seen nobody would realise they looked like Markus, all because each of them were wearing a suit reminiscent of their maker with white obsidian masks on their faces.

And not before long they were outside the door that lead to their target.

He looked at his fellow clones and nodded, then with a smooth motion he kicked the door through the hinges.

“ AAAAAARHHHH!”

A feminine scream quickly echoed on the other side, one that he was sure some people would notice—something that they were betting on.

And with one mind they walked into the room, finding a scared straight looking girl staring in pure terror at them.

“ Erica, we've been looking for you.” He muttered, his voice distorted in a husky deep tone.

“ W-w-who a-are Y-you p-peo-ple?” Erica managed to ask, something that impressed the clone immensely due to the fact that she knew of Erica's condition.

“ Nobody.” He muttered, raising up his hand before the two clones besides him walked upfront towards the girl.

“ N-no!” She shouted, looking around as if to try and find a way to escape but finding none.

Quickly the clones were onto her, grabbing her by the shoulder and as Erica tried to struggle she found a cloth on her face which was doused with an chemical mixture that quickly knocked her out.

The clones quickly grabbed her, hoisting her limp body on her shoulders before nodding at him.

Nodding back he turned, his clones quickly finding their place besides him.

And just as they thought and sensed, in the hallway were a dozen or so students, mostly male and some girls that he recognised from the memories of the boss but nobody important.

But that didn't matter, the important thing was that they saw them.

And as soon as they saw them they immediately took a couple steps back, as if that would have saved them if he wanted to silence them.

Then they saw Erica on one of the clones shoulders and their eyes went wide.

“ Hey! What are you doing with her!?” One of the brave girls muttered, staring apprehensively at the girl on their shoulder.

“ Nothing that you should worry about.” He muttered, his distorted voice scaring them further.

“ Now leave, before I decide to break your necks.” He threatened, taking a step forward.

Immediately the threat worked as they quickly turned and ran away, screaming while doing so.

“ Mission complete, now to transport the girl.” The other clone muttered.

And he grinned, knowing very well that news of this would quickly spread.

But they didn't need to be here for that, so quickly they turned and walked off to a back exit before disappearing into the forest.

—[Other Clone Pov]—

He stood, watching the hospital building from the shadows with a groan.

They had been scouting out the hospital for a better part of an hour now waiting for events to pass by before they could act and grab the comatose Lydia.

And so they watched, till Stiles finally entered the hospital before Chris Argent and his hunters followed.

Then they waited even more till they finally got out of the hospital.

“ Finally.” He muttered.

They were trying to keep things as close to canon as possible till now, even though they knew that was impossible with all the changes done to the world so the Boss could get his pawns into place for his return into this town.

But it seemed that some things still stayed the same, or as close to it as it could anyway.

They were surprised though that the Vampires hadn't gotten into the mess, with how how much Scott and Stiles seemed to be meeting up with them in the shadows.

But they didn't have much information on them for now so he'd keep those thoughts at bay and complete his mission.

And theirs was the most difficult.

After all they had to infiltrate the hospital and grab Lydia then get out as soon as possible, and seeing as there was police activity in the hospital it would be a bit harder.

“ Let's do this.” He told his fellow clones, drawing out lustering blades.

They quickly moved towards the door, finding no guards thankfully.

And as soon as they entered, all eyes were on them.

“ Arhhhh.”“Aaaarrrrhhhh!”“Run!”

Quickly the screams turned into a chorus, they didn't stop even when nurses and doctors ran for the door behind them.

Quickly they reached the stairs, blitzing through them to the door they sensed Lydia was in.

As soon as they appeared they saw two policeman.

A part of them that was derived from the boss wanted to silence them immediately, kill them because they had their weapons at them.

But that wasn't what they were here to do.

So instead, him as the lead he used the liquid aura to cover them, they having no control or knowhow of their deeper energies dropped to the floor immediately.

Seeing that they walked up, ignoring the flickering lights that had short-circuited with their use of mana infused aura.

Until they found Lydia's room.

And as it fate was fucking them, they found the only woman that they were not supposed to injure.

“ Stay back! I'll use this!” Their mother, Mrs McCall stood protective of Lydia's comatose body with taser gun pointed at them.

“ Then use it.” He said, knowing very well that what they were about to do would cost them, but they were simple clones with a mission that they knew had to be done, for his cause.

Their mother didn't waste any moment, discharging her round into the first clone.

Him.

He didn't feel anything from it, having Evolved from normal humanly constraints.

But his fellow clones quickly grabbed her, putting a cloth that was doused with their homemade chemical formula knocked her out, leading to her immediately falling to her sleep and on the bed with the help of one of the clones.

“ Secure her, let's make sure she is fine, we don't want the boss on our ass.” He muttered, knowing already that one mistake and they would cease, just like that, for the next breed, one that was just as their Creator.

Quickly they grabbed, disconnected Lydia from her medical apparatuses, ignoring the feeling of death that they felt from her.

They walked out of the room, reaching the doorway before anymore policeman could get there.

And in minutes they were gone, the forest hiding their very evidence that they were even there.

Forests that they would be hunted on, but to no avail, cause their prey didn't leave no signs that they were even there.

But their mark would be remembered, as they were told to.

But until they they reached their mark, their destination and they stopped.
