Chapter 80

Strike Of

The Divine

Disclaimer: This is it y'all, the final chapter for the third season (and perhaps the fic itself). Huge, huge, HUGE thanks to everyone who has supported me on this story. Hard to believe this began back in 2016 and now here we are a year and some change later. As it is, a lot of what I originally had intended for this story has been changed up from the timeline of events I had written up a long time ago in the early days of this story. Am I bothered by that? Not at all as I think its worked out a lot better in the end. Its kind of amazing as it is that this all spiraled off from a random idea I came up with in 'Wolfish Possibilities'. I'm not entirely surprised if I lost a few readers along the way for the various things that happened within the story. Especially like me taking a really long time to bring you guys new content.

Which I am sorry about and I truly appreciate those of you who stuck by me for this story. And you might be panicking about the fact I mentioned early on about this being the final over all chapter of the story. Now that doesn't mean I'm done with the idea as far from it. But I do feel that going forward, season 4 should be covered in its own seperate fic. Of course, I could end up changing my mind but we'll see what happens in the future as there has been times where I've forgotten something happened earlier on and then covered it somewhat later on. Like Kira knowing about Heather for example. I don't know if the story suffered any for small incidents like that but hopefully it didn't. Of course, there hasn't really been anyone that's made remarks so I'm guessing not. When will I do season 4? I honestly don't know as I have a few other ideas and the like I'd like to spend some time on.

But rest assured, I'll be sure to write out the chapters well before I start posting them. Much like I did for a majority of this fic early on until I kind of burned out. Again, huge thanks to everyone for the support of this story as it has been truly appreciated. Now, on with the show! And warning; you might end up needing a tissue.

Oak Creek Camp That Evening

As evening fell upon the small town of Beacon Hills, California, it was becomingly rapidly apparent that a few thought to be isolated incidents that had happened earlier on weren't just small or isolated. But part of a much bigger problem as various people in the town began to cause problems. Leading to a whole lot of riots, thousands of dollars worth in property damage, various other incidents, and jail time. Or at least there would be if it wasn't for the fact that practically the entirety of the Beacon Hills Police Force had joined in on the mounting chaos the Nogitsune was causing with his Flies. The only member of Law Enforcement not effected by it was a lone Deputy known as Jordan Parrish, who tried valiantly to get things under control to no avail despite help from Law Enforcement members from other nearby towns. And Rafael was cursing the fact he was too far to be of any help to his family and the others in Beacon Hills. The only reason the Pack wasn't effected by the Nogitsune's Flies was thanks in part to Deaton. Who'd painted Druidic Protection Runes on the various members as well as himself to ensure they would be safe from the Flies' attempts to possess them.

Unfortunately, this left out a missing (though they had their suspicions) Stiles, Cora, Melissa, and the Sheriff. The Pack had also gotten themselves as possibly ready as they could be as Noshiko chose to teach them about the game of Go to help provide more of a possible strategy. Which possibly included a Divine Move thanks to Erica's earlier revelation. Along with another relevation of her's that Derek was highly supportive of given his past where as Jackson wasn't. Not that she necessarily cared what the other teen thought of of her little interest of course and Derek had nearly threatened to rip his throat out with his teeth for his blasphemy. "Well, here we are." Announced Kanela a little nervously as she, Boyd, Isaac, Laura, Scott, and Kira stood outside of the gates to the old and long abandoned and somewhat forgotten Oak Creek Camp.

Lenne had been none too happy about being forced to remain behind at the Hales, but both her father and Scott had been absolutely adamant about it. Laura could tell how nervous the girl was and shot her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Kanela, we've got this. After all, we've dealt with Peter, Derek being an idiot, Jackson as the Kanima, Matt Daehler, kidnapping situations, your parents, the Alpha Pack in both forms, and Scott being Scott."

"HEY!"

Snickers broke out over how offended he sounded and it was enough to make the burgeoning Wrestling sensation a little less nervous. "Thanks, Laura."

"Anytime." Replied the future Hale Alpha with a warm and reassuring smile.

"I get no respect, I swear. But at least this isn't happenin' in another friggin' warehouse." Grumbled Scott good naturedly and gaining eyerolls for it.

Isaac just smirked at him. "Maybe when you're older you'll get the respect you want."

That got him a crude gesture in return but he just snickered in response since he wasn't too bothered by it. "Like Laura said, we've got this. And its not like Isaac here won't be watching your back." Pointed out Boyd helpfully while trying to steady his own nerves.

Kanela shot the tall teen a grateful smile as Isaac reached for her hand to give it a comforting squeeze. Kira took a deep breath and then let it out. "Let's do this. And remember, those we care about might be in there and willing to hurt us cause of Void."

The group nodded as they all got serious looks on their faces as Kira pushed through the gates with the others following on opposite sides of her. "Well, well, well. If it isn't the little Kit of my dear old friend." Mock clapped the Nogitsune with a smirk as they came upon him in the center of the Camp and all by himself.

"That Kit's gonna skull fuck ya, bitch tits." Spat out Scott as his eyes flashed blue.

"Perhaps, perhaps not. But a vivid image none the less. Perhaps one I'll have to try myself."

Scott growled at him in annoyance but the evil Fox just continued to smirk. I'm gonna fuckin' rip that smirk off his damned face. Then we'll see if he can keep talkin' after that.

Looking at one another, Laura and Kira nodded at one another before looking at the Nogitsune and stepped forwards. "We offer you one chance to surrender yourself and stop all your current actions that are currently harming the people of Beacon Hills." Declared Laura with her voice full of authority.

"Don't, and we'll do what my mother couldn't all those years ago."

A dark laugh escaped the Rhys look a like as he stared at them. "Hmm… I'm afraid I'll have to… Decline. As I've got a hunger that's just insatiable compared to certain other tricksters." He replied as 8 figures materialized in front of him.

Five of them having been Noshiko's while the other three were formed through his control of Flies and they were all damned strong thanks to his having taken the strongest of Daisuke's Fan Tails for his own ends. "And my friends here just so desperately want to play with all of you." Void told the wide eyed group.

"Guys..." Began a nervous Isaac.

"We've got a problem." Finished an equally nervous Boyd.

Kira brought out the sword she'd recently created as part of her Graduation test and got into a battle stance, Kanela doing the same with the regular Katana Kira had given her. Even if she would have preferred a Rapier thanks to her father's enforced lessons in the way of the sword on her while growing into a teenager. "I'd say you fools have a very big problem."

"I don't care how many you bring, I'M STILL GONNA SKULL FUCK 'EM ALL!" Scott roared out as he Shfited and charged at the Nogitsune and his special friends.

Letting them get to experience certain Urges of his that he'd been feeling stirring up in him once again. Figuring that now was as good a time as any to let them out for the first time in a good while. "Aww crap." Moaned Laura as that hadn't been part of the plan!

But never the less, she and the others charged into the battle with various battle cries ringing out into the air as the Oni came at them as well. And it was quickly agreed on that that despite their claws by those who had them and even their souped up tasers, it still hurt like a bitch to get cut into by the swords of the Oni. Not to mention the fact the souped up tasers weren't particularly effective on them. Though Boyd had the thought that the Fly Oni didn't particularly care for the taser's effects thanks to the increased buzzing he heard from them when it got used on the Fly Oni he was going against. Kira herself had been trying and failing to get past the Oni and to Void in order to fight him. At least until she found herself somewhere she'd rather not be. That being Kyle's bedroom as she'd been there a time or two back in New York. "Whoa, kller sword there, babe!"

Narrowing her eyes, Kira looked at the jerk who had utterly broken her heart in what felt like forever ago. "You're not real." She told him through gritted teeth and unwilling to believe that hurt look on his face was real.

"Now that's not a nice thing to say."

"Considering the real you broke my heart, that's not even close to me not being nice."

And Lord knew she was about as nice and sweet as can be! 'Kyle' put on a confused look as he took a step towards her from his desk. "What!? I haven't, I wouldn't break your heart! You're my girl! Look, why don't you put that sword down and we'll go out for some of your favorite Ice Cream. My treat, what'cha say?"

"I say… Go to Hell!" Screamed Kira as she rushed him with a sword and swiped it at him.

Instantly bringing her back to the real world and hearing a mighty scream of pain. One that was coming from the Nogitsune as there was a deep vertical gut on his body. He looked at himself and then at Kira as a look of rage began to form on his face as the others stood in shock at the sight. "You… Will… PAY IN THE MOST PAINFUL WAY POSSIBLE!"

Kira readied her sword. "I'm not afraid of you!"

"YOU SHOULD BE!"

With a demonic howl of rage, he ran towards her but several booms caused him to stop and for the others including the Oni to continue to remain motionless. "Huh, looks like we were right after all, Kira, Silver really does work on the Oni!" Announced a happy Allison from a rooftop with her bow out and ready to be used with another arrow being nocked and ready to fire.

On another rooftop opposite her was Chris himself with a crossbow in his hands and readying it for another attack. "What are you talking about, little girl!?"

"Oh, just that Kira and I's dad gave us a real helpful clue where Silver and Oni are concerned thanks to a past experience of his." Allison told him with a hint of smugness to her tone and let loose with her arrow into another Oni.

Who was too late to get the Silver based Arrow out of its body as it exploded moments later. Making for an even more enraged Nogitsune in the process. "I WON'T BE STOPPED! LITTLE HALE, COME NOW!"

To the shock of those present, Cora herself came from another building and had an unconscious Stiles in her firm grasp. Along with a knife at his throat as Void began to chuckle maliciously. He might not know when the little Hunters got to such an advantageous spot but he didn't care. Not when he was confident he had them in a tight spot. "Move an inch, and she will cut his throat open and make a geyser of blood spill forth! Or… Who knows, perhaps I'll order my Oni to kill your little Succubus." Declared the evil Fox as another Oni appeared with a firm grasp on a struggling Lenne.

Causing Scott's eyes to widen in shock, fear, and anger as his urges urged him to move forward and spill blood in the most violent ways possible. "LENNE!"

He moved to try and get to her but slight movement from the extra Oni and a controlled Cora had him stopping. "Ah, ah, ah. Naughty little Wolf. Another step, and either your precious slut or the boy will die."

Growling, Scott remained where he was as so did the others rather reluctantly. Void let out a dark chuckle, pleased that he had them trapped and at his mercy and allowed his voice to return to a more Human one. "Ahh… Its so nice to have you all at my mercy. Its such a wonderful feeling." He said with a sickening grin as he stepped up close to Lenne and even leaned into lick her on the cheek much to her's and Scott's disgust.

"Mmm… Tasty." Sighed Void contentedly as breathed in her fear and reveled in it.

"Lick her again and you'll never taste a damn thing again, mother fucker."

Dark chuckling came from the sadistic Fox as he stepped in front of Lenne and the Oni holding her tightly against it. He winked at Scott and spun around quickly as he brung out a concealed knife and repeatedly stabbed Lenne in the stomach much to the immense horror of Scott and the others. A wide and sadistic smile on the Nogitsune's face as he stabbed the stunned girl repeated with an unholy gleam in his eyes. Pulling back, he turned slightly to allow Scott and the others to see him licking the blood off his knife with a pleased shudder. "Mmm… That's even more tasty." Declared the dark Fox with a blood thirsty chuckle.

But he wasn't done just yet as he spun around and plunged the knife deep into her heart, causing her to gasp weakly with tears coming down her face as he did so. "LENNE!" Yelled out Scott in utter horror as Void pulled out the knife, licked the blood off it, and then let it drop.

Just as the lone Oni allowed Lenne to drop to the ground before vanishing into the Ether as it was no longer needed after fulfilling its task. Its fellows soon joined him as well.

Locostos' Realm

And in the realm Locostos provided over and was currently in due to a last minute bit of urgent business, he began to feel a painful clenching of his heart that had him grabbing on to his chest. Causing others to look at him in worry and fear.

Back At Oak Creek

Laughter filled the air and it was an utterly dark one as everyone stared on in utter horror at the clear viciousness the Nogitsune was willing to commit. "That was probably the best thing I've ever done in a thousand years." Sighed the dark Fox in a deeply pleased manner.

Nothing was said by the others and he would use their shocked and horrified state of minds to make his leave from the area. Whistling as it did so until a sword found its way into its gut. "Wha!?" Gasped out the dark being as it stared at the sword in shock.

Its eyes widened in further shock at the sight of Noshiko coming out of the shadows of her hiding spot with her hands still on the sword. The very same sword that she had used on him long ago and had gotten Kira to restore so that it would be used once again. "You have no right to wear that face." She told him firmly and displeasedly.

"I HAVE EVERY RIGHT!"

Noshiko merely stared at him as Derek, Talia, Harley, Jackson, Joe, Nancy, Erica, Kali, and the twins all circled around the two after jumping down from various rooftops. "You think this means anything!? Well it doesn't! You hear me!? It means nothing! NOTHING!"

"Maybe." Began Talia as she grabbed one of his arms as Harley grabbed another, both of their eyes glowing red.

"Maybe not, but a certain Shugendo scroll might say otherwise, asshole."

Void's eyes widened in horror and began to struggle but the quick grips of the Wolves around him was too much for him to escape from much to his immense dislike in addition to Noshiko's damned sword in his gut. Talia and Harley both sank their fangs into his arms as he shouted out denials in vain. "As I said, you have no right to wear Rhys' face, Nogitsune."

The two Alphas pulled away and so did the other Wolves as Noshiko pulled out her sword and stepped back. Void tried to take a step forward but the rapid hardening of its body prevented it to the point he was nothing more then a statue that crumbled to the ground and then dust seconds later. A dark cloud remaining behind that too soon disappeared, leaving only a Fly that tried to leave quickly but Noshiko was quick to catch it despite her pregnant state. Angry buzzing could be heard in her closed hand but she paid it no mind as the mother of two looked up at the darkened sky. "I humbly call out to the Ancestors of my Clan and to Inari, Kami of the Kitsune, to cast judgment upon the Nogitsune within my hand. I seek no forgiveness for myself for bringing it to this realm but rather, Justice for those who this creature took life from." Intoned the centuries old woman.

Nothing happened at first but a bright white light shone down seconds later on her hand, allowing for those present to somehow hear the agonized wails of the Nogitsune in her closed hand as the light did its work. Moments later, the light vanished and Noshiko opened her hand to reveal that nothing was there anymore. Relief swept through her and the others there as none of them had been certain this would even work after Noshiko had randomly thought of it while they had all been preparing at the house for the battle with the dark being. "I may never doubt the existence of higher beings again." Muttered a shocked Jackson and getting nods of agreement for it.

Another light appeared above them and Noshiko couldn't help but gasp in shock as the figure of Rhys himself was in it. And he was smiling but it was aimed more at her then the others. "You may not have been looking for forgiveness for yourself, but you've got it and you just have to let it in, Noshi." He told her with that smile.

One full of warmth and love. "My soul is finally free of that thing and I can finally move on to the Afterlife thanks to you and the others here. Which means you too can finally move on from this nightmare, beautiful."

Sobs escaped the mother of two as she stared at him. "By Inari I still miss you so much."

He floated down to her as the Wolves respectfully moved out of the way. Rhys placed a hand on Noshiko's face and she closed her eyes as she practically melted into his touch. "I've missed you just as much, gorgeous. But you've got Chris, Kira, and Allison now. Maybe when the time comes for you to finally join me and your family on the Otherside, we can be together again. But for now, be happy and at peace. Because that Chris guy of yours is a Helluva guy and I'm happy you found love and happiness with him. Much like you did with Ken. Okay?"

"I… I will." God how his words made her feel so at peace now and it was slightly unsettling after having the dark cloud of Void over her head for so long.

Nodding happily at that, he moved to kiss her and it was a kiss she couldn't help but respond too. The others looked away to respect their privacy and Erica could even be seen crying over the whole thing as it was rather beautiful to her. There was even some suspicious sniffling coming from both Aiden and Jackson as well. "I love you, Noshiko."

"And I love you, Rhys."

The two stared at one another for a moment before he let go and floated up above them. "Oh, one more thing?" Rhys said as he looked back down at the group as a light only he could see was shining brightly above him.

"Y-Yes, Rhys?"

He grinned at her before speaking. "I'd be happy as can be if you named your kid after me in some way." The spirit told her with that grin and she couldn't help the watery chuckle that came from her as the others smiled.

"It will be my honor." Noshiko told him with a smile as tears came down her face and even bowed to him.

Another pleased nod came from the spirit of Rhys before he saluted her and vanished to the Orherside to be finally be at Peace. Talia instantly came and hugged her tearful friend but the moment wasn't meant to be as a scream pierced the air. "LENNE!"

To hear Scott sound like that greatly bothered the group and they were instantly running to where it had come from. Stopping in their tracks as Scott held a heavily bleeding out Lenne in his arms on the ground. Tears coming down his face as he did so. And he wasn't the only one crying for that matter either as Chris struggled to keep himself composed as he tried to call for an Ambulance. Forgetting the sheer chaos going on at the moment. Not knowing that it was dying out thanks to the Nogitsune being destroyed and its Flies vanishing from their hosts now that their power source was gone. "I… I can't take your pain."

"That's… That's cause I, I don't… Feel any..." Gasped the girl as she tried to keep her hand on his face.

"Just, just hold on, okay!? Hold on until we can get you to a Hospital!" Pleaded the young man desperately.

"Sc-Scott, I think we… We both know… Th-that's not, not happening… But its okay."

"How can it fucking be okay!? How!?"

Lenne looked at him as a tear fell down her cheek. "Be-Because, I'm… I'm in the arms of my, my first love. The, the one I h-had a, a second chance with. The… F-Father of mu-my baby. And my… My first and, and only… Husband." She told him while valiantly trying to keep her hand on his face and shocking the others even more about the fact the two were married.

"I can't lose you! Not again! I lost Cheryl and I can't lose you or our kid! I love you, Lenne! Please! Don't leave!"

She gave him a weak smile as she used the last bit of her powers to ensure she'd look Human while dead so that it wouldn't cause problems of any kind. "And I… I lo-ove you, Scott… Scott McCall. We… We'll be watching over… You… Always."

And with that, Lennetorasta, daughter of Locostos, breathed her last breath and closed her eyes as her hand fell to the ground. "Lenne!? Lenne! WAKE UP!" Cried out the tearful young as he even tried shaking her to get her to open her eyes again.

But nothing happened and he held her tightly to his body as he cried heavily as everyone looked in respect and tearful silence. Scott looked up and let his blue eyes shine as he let out a loud and pained howl of grief. One that could practically be heard by the entire town of Beacon Hills, even if some had no clue what that meant as a tearful Cora helped keep a recovering and horrified Stiles standing up now that what had been stolen from him by the Nogitsune was returned. Much like it had done for the Fox it had once possessed.

In Locostos' Realm

Locostos was on his knees as he looked at the celing of where he was as tears streamed down his face as he felt the loss of Lenne surge through him. The loss being felt by the rest of his daughters and those around all of them having no clue as to what to do as never had they had seen such a thing. "NOOOOOOOO!" Could be heard all through out Locostos' realm as the howl of pain came from the Demon Lord himself.

In Brunksi's Basement

A tear escaped Callie's sightless eyes as she witnessed the event of Lenne's death within in her mind and spoke. "And with the Howl of Pain and Loss from the young man that could have been True, a Pool of Death shall come to pass as those who have earned will have it taken from them to give further life to the Pool of Death and those who Serve it." Spoke the figure softly as twin wails from her fellow Banshees could be heard.

Leo Brunski looked down at his wife with a look on his face as he took in her words. "A 'pool of death' huh? Sounds like a Deadpool to me…" Considered the man thoughtfully.

He thought the whole thing over for a short time before grinning widely as it all clicked into place for him. "Heh, oh yeah, this is gonna be fun." Chuckled the man as he undid his belt and came over to his wife.

But first, he was gonna have some 'fun' with his darling wife as another tear escaped her. But after? Afterwards… He'd quickly get to work on bringing the Deadpool together courtesy of a little extra help from a certain Lorraine Martin in the room with him.

Several Days Later

With the town no longer under the influence of the Nogitsune, things quickly began to be restored to order. Though things would quite likely never be the same again in any form after the chaos that had occurred. Deputy Parrish and those who had come to help him were all hailed as heroes and because of that, Jameson had chosen the man to become his second in command for all he'd done while he'd been under the Nogitsune's influence. Stiles himself was barely speaking with anyone and Scott had been practically immobile as his mothers and his dad held on to him. And as it would be explained to them by Locostos, it wasn't just the fact their son had lost his child and his wife, who'd been his first love. But that he had lost a piece of his very soul thanks to the Soul Bond that had been formed between him and Lenne long ago. Essentially crippling him in the worst way possible and it was anyone's guess if he'd ever be able to recover. And even if he did, he likely wouldn't be the same. They were however, able to get him to come for Lenne's funeral.

Or rather, her funeral pyre in a field some miles outside of Beacon Hills. This method of burial being used so that none others could try and bring her back through some vial means and use her for their purposes. Locostos would be the one to light her pyre with a heavy heart as his daughters in human disguises watched on with many others in attendance that had come to know and like Lenne in the time she'd been around in Beacon Hills. Gradually, as the fire went on and Lenne's body burned with it to ashes, the mourners made their leave until it was just Scott and Locostos. Who had a hand on the younger man's shoulder in silent support. "Loc'?"

"Yeah, kiddo?"

"I miss her."

Locostos let out a shaky breath. "I do too." His little girl was far too damned young to be gone so soon.

And he wished like nothing he could rip that damned bastard Fox to utter pieces for what he'd done to his little girl. And then give the pieces to the worst of his people and let them do what they pleased with those pieces. His Lenne was truly special in a way that none of his other daughters were and she had barely been scratching at the surface of that potential. And now… Now it never would be fully reached… The Demon Lord went stiff as he felt the presence of another. "We're not alone, kiddo."

"I know, but I don't care."

"You want me to handle him?"

"No, I'll be fine with him on my own." Scott told him quietly as those urges of his swelled to break free.

Locostos nodded at the young man, trusting him absolutely and chose to leave from the area so that his son in law could handle the balding bastard on his own. "Yuir grief makin' ya foolish, boy." Grunted Ennis as he came out of the shadows and closer to the light of the Pyre.

Scott just shrugged as he looked at the Pyre that his wife and child were within. "I really don't care if it has. As I've lost one of the greatest fucking things in my life and I'll never experience that again." He replied mournfully as he stared at the fire.

The man who had dared thought of himself as the young Wolf's father snorted. "Oh please, you'll experience it again, damned idiot."

It was high time his boy got disciplined in his mind and it was up to him to do it. "Ennis, if you don't want me fuckin' you up, you'd best fuck the fuck off right now."

"Boy, I'm an Alpha and ya know damn well ya can't beat me." Sneered the man as he let his claws out.

Scott's eyes began to glow blue as he turned around. "Then I guess we'll just have to find out." Growled out the heartbroken young man as he Shifted.

But it looked more… Demonic like. Making him live up to his former title as 'Grandson of the Demon Wolf'. Ennis growled back as he Shifted and let his red eyes out to play. The two stared at one another for a long moment before letting out loud growls and charged at the other as Scott let his urges out to play as the two began their fight to the death as Lenne's pyre continued to burn.

Author's Notes: And that… That marks the end of this tale (for now). I had briefly considered as I got towards the end of having Noshiko lose the baby. Even got to thinking of having it to where Kanela lost her life during the big fight. But I chose not to go those routes in the end. Again, huge thanks to everyone for all the support where this story is concerned. Until next time!
