"Aghhhhh!" Lucas let out an agonizing scream, as the energy started to burn him from the inside.
"Boom!" The conflicting energy inside him sounded one step away from exploding and turning him into dust.
When he absorbed the last drop of energy, a thunderous burst emitted from his body, sending shockwaves across the sky.
"Voom!" "Voom!"
Lucas’ entire body started to glow, then his hair started to slowly fly upward.
Suddenly, his eye turned completely black, and with a jolt, he lifted his head toward the sky. Everything began crumbling before his eyes, then he felt himself lying down, and someone was about to attack him.
He opened his eyes instinctively, and a shock wave emerged from him, thus sending the attackers into the air.
His body then flew onto his feet, and he gripped his hand in wonder as it felt a little weird. Finally, the corner of his eye noticed Stiles, who was possessed by the Nogitsune.
A touch of amusement emerged in his eyes as he now knew perfectly where he was. "Interesting...haven’t seen you in a while."
The Nogitsune opened his mouth to speak, but Lucas put a finger on his lips. "Shhh..." Then he watched with enjoyment as the Nogitsune struggled like a caged animal.
Now Lucas was certain that the energy made his consciousness travel back in time. It all added up when he thought about it.
He had a few seconds of blackout, but he never thought much about it at that time.
He then shifted his gaze to the shocked Allison and smiled gently. Just before he could say anything, his consciousness trembled, then once again the dark sky came into sight.
"Ughh..." Lucas grabbed his head as a massive headache hit him like a hammer.
"Did that just happen?" He couldn’t help but mutter in wonder despite the pain. He wondered if this happened in the future too.
"If I could control it...." A crazy glint flashed in his eye. "Something’s wrong!" Lucas touched his wounded body, then his face.
He felt his emotions easily spiraling out of control, something that didn’t happen to him in a long time.
"The energy..." It wasn’t hard to figure out the cause. He now felt like a God with all this sacred energy gathered in one place.
Albeit a God that would explode if he didn’t find a new container. "I need to hurry to Beacon Hills."
He then appeared down below next to the girls, and they were startled by his current state. His clothes returned to their previous state, but his body was full of dried-up cracks.
Most were healing, but in the next seconds, new ones were appearing right after.
"Lucas!" Allison’s eyes became watery, and just as she wanted to approach him, an invisible force froze her actions.
"It’s not safe near me." He shook his head at her, then spoke again. "We will have to travel through my shadow to Beacon Hills, and we need to hurry."
"But I thought you couldn’t transport other people?" Although she was also worried about him, Lydia noticed the gravity of the situation.
"I can do it temporarily, but the speed of travel will be just a little better than a car." Because he had to be careful, the shadow teleportation would take much longer than usual, but it was better than nothing.
And one more advantage that he noticed when he used the shadow teleportation was that the aggressive energy inside of him somehow calmed down.
Lucas didn’t want to waste more time, and he waved his hand, and the girls started to sink into the shadows.
They panicked for a moment, then they relaxed and allowed the shadow to fully absorb them.

Morning came quickly, and after the fight they had last night, Scott and Stiles had to go to school. Just as both were heading towards the hallway, someone cut their path off.
"What do you want?" Stiles immediately spoke, clearly displeased at seeing this man.
"Come on, Stiles, what did I do to make you so suspicious?" Theo smiled, unbothered by his attitude, and looked like he genuinely wanted to make friends with them.
Stiles rolled his eyes. Even a fool would realize that Theo was suspicious as hell.
"Stiles." Scott gestured for him to calm down, which made Stiles realize that his friend was even worse than a fool.
What the three of them failed to notice was that there were no students in sight anymore, as if they were isolated from the rest of the world.
"Tap! Tap!"
The sound of walking hit their ears immediately, then all of them finally noticed that all the students were gone.
With each step, a cord was struck in Theo’s heart as he felt like a beast was approaching him. Then the being responsible appeared in their sight.
