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.
Chapters 79
Markus sat on a large boulder, overlooking the town of Beacon Hills with a semi-dead body laying besides him.
He waited for his two teams of clones with a serene smile on his face, even if it was hidden by his mask.
He waited at the meetup location waiting in anticipation, his head empty of information pouring inside from his clones in a while.
He was taking a break from being connected to his clones, having finally found a way to do that after using [Origin Of Power] on that particular ability.
Now each of his clones was semi-independent, loyal to him and he only had to order or imprint programs for them to follow and they'd do it.
Today was the first time he let them truly go wild, with simple orders but no instructions.
He wanted to see what they would do with no oversight from his connected Hive Mind.
At the end of the day they were him after all, even if a bit overzealous in any task he asks them to do.
But while waiting for them he decided to to check on his progress, having already seen changes since he last checked.

*Whistle*
Markus whistled staring at the screen infront of him, a grin on his face at the thought of how overpowered he became in such a short time.
He had even had to learn how to control his newfound strength now.
Then there was his perception stat, that he had to mentally dial downl due to how much information he was bombarded with.
Both mundane stimulus and supernatural stimuli hammering into your head was not a fun experience, he'd know.
Aside from that though there was not much change to what he had already seen.
So with that out of the way he moved on.

Markus was smiling through the list of his recent capabilities but then his smile became Stiffled.
3 traits standing out.
Boundless Love[A], Stupidly Endowed[C], Fae Beauty[A].
He was intelligence enough to understand that he should use the fusion feature to fuse these traits into one.
[—Fusion ~ A feature that allows the user to fuse two or more similar skills, traits or abilities into one at the cost of their individual parts for a better or worse result depending on the selected parts—]
But he was a bit fearful of what that would do to him.
Already the serum procedure had improved his physique, looks and pushed his genes to their limit of what they could be.
Then the traits appeared and he turned from incredibly handsome to supernaturally handsome.
Then there was his absorption spree of the were-creatures.
That had granted him a lot of charisma, thus furthering him from mortal beauty to something that bordered what he'd think Adonis on steroids would have looked like.
He blamed his [Fae Beauty] for the supernatural aspect of his beauty.
He already had a plan to create a Magus Script using multiple of the ancient or old languages he had learnt to 'seal' some of his charm away, with the Languages he had learnt from the Tome Of Blessings and his skill he was sure it wouldn't be a problem.
After all he didn't want to make everyone that looked at him enamored with him in some sort of way.
These issues were why he was so resistant to making the problem worse.
The traits were Synergistic though, he'd decide later even though knowing himself he already knew his choice—he'd just have to deal with it later.
He already felt his clones rushing through the forest towards him, he'd have to go through his status quick before they arrived which wouldn't be a problem for him now with his capabilities.

He smiled staring at his lost ass skill list, he'd learnt a couple new skills and improved upon some of his old ones.
At the rate things were going, he'd be able to be a master of a dozen professions.
After looking through his skill progression he then moved on.

There was not much change there, after all every ability he obtained through his transformations are only applicable in their respective forms, he'd checked while practicing with his new forms are obtaining them.
The last thing he should have checked was his soul-bound sword.
He had expected no change from it, rarely having the chance to use it until that very day.
So it was to his surprise when he saw his silver lustering blade having changed, from that brief encounter and use of it.
[—Item - Possessed Silver Blade Of Dhaka
—Rank - G
—Description - A Silver Sword forged from Moon-Silver at the epitome of A Lunar Eclipse granting it unmatched durability, sharpness and strength.
—Through time it's wielder—Its Creator had slain so many monsters and people alike that it gained a Spark that never was realised - Until its owner died and he had been buried alongside this blade. This Act triggered a phenomenal where the soul of Dhaka, The Forge Masters Soul was absorbed into it and so it finally realised itself.
—This Sword has gained immense power through it's realisation and through it's host it has gained personality and a source to bring it's power to the light by way of soul bonding, allowing the sword to grow alongside it's bonded.
~Effect 1 - Shifters Edge ~ The Sword will shift forms depending on the wielders transformations with new effects added for each form.

~Effect 4 - Unhealing ~ The wounds caused by this blade will not and cannot be healed by normal means or basic magic.
~Effect 5 - Howling Curse ~ Wounds made to any lycan creature will deal X3 Damage, cause excruciating pain and cause festering infections within hours.]
He was surprised at a lot of things from the analysis display.
One, what rank was 'G'
Two, what the hell were those effects?
Three, why were there cracks on the blade that glowed a sickly red?
