Amara's outfit:

Chapter Ninety-Six
⚔ Triggers ⚔

Amara sat in between Scott and Malia in Argent's car while Argent and Lydia sat in the front seat. Lydia's phone buzzed making her pull it out to see a text from Liam, "It worked." She said making them look over at her.

"It's about time." Malia said and went to open the door but Scott grabbed her arm, "Wait." He said before they both listened for a moment. "I hear them, too." Malia said and Amara nodded in agreement making Lydia raise her eyebrows, "Hear what?" She asked.

"Heartbeats." Amara said and, "How many?" Argent asked. "Ten?" Scott said unsure and Malia listened, "More." She said and Amara sighed. "So are we breaking in, or not?" She asked, "Not. The armory should be empty by now." Argent said and Malia scoffed. "We can take down a few Hunters if we have to." Malia said and Argent turned to her, "We're dealing with a dozen well-armed Hunters who have orders to kill you on sight." He said making them all glance at each other.

"Then how are we supposed to get inside?" Malia asked. After a few minutes of talking Argent sighed and turned the car on making Malia quickly shot forward and turn it off. "Gerard thinks we're gone. It's a good plan." Malia said and Amara shrugged, "It's our only plan." She said and Argent sighed. "And it's not working." He said and Malia looked at him crazy, "We can still do this!"

"Let's vote."

"Guys, we just need to give Liam and Theo more time."

"We have ten minutes. Ten minutes before Gerard's people flag this vehicle. Once that happens, we'll be seen as a potential threat."

"Then what?"

"They'll pay us a visit." Argent said and that's when Amara noticed Lydia's distant looks. "Hey, you okay?" She asked making Lydia jump slightly and look at her, "Yeah... I think so..." Lydia said and Amara just raised her eyebrows slightly.

"We should call off this mission." Argent said, "Brett and Lori are gone, and Jiang and Tierney are still missing. Gerard's always one step ahead of us. We have to do this now." Scott said and Argent shook his head slightly. "We're too exposed, Scott." He said and Malia shrugged slightly "You said we have ten minutes." She said and Argent looked at his watch.

"Nine."

"What are you doing?" Amara asked when Scott went to open his door, "I'm gonna lure them away so we can get inside." He said and Amara rolled her eyes before pinching his arm making him let got of the handle and she quickly locked it. "We need a new plan." Scott said and Malia looked at him crazy, "Not a dumb one."

"I'll bring the thermite charges." Scott said and Amara shook her head, "We need them for the armory." She said. "The explosion will buy you time, but not enough to get in and out safely." Argent said as something caught Lydia's eyes.

"Guys..." She said but only Amara paid attention to her and noticed what Lydia was looking at. "How about using the tunnels?" Malia suggested, "We could get underneath the building, but we'd still need to sneak in undetected." Argent said. "Guys..." Lydia said again but they didnt pay attention. "The ventilation system?" Scott suggested and Argent shook his head, "Same problem."

"People! Look!" Amara said loudly making them look at her and she pointing out the window making them look over. "They're leaving." Lydia said as they watched a group of people get into cars and drive off.

⚔

Amara walked into the armory despite Argent trying to tell her to slow down. She walked right up to the first person she saw and before he could even noticed her she grabbed him by the back of his head and slammed his head into the wall before letting him fall to the ground. She glanced around before giving the rest of them a thumbs up.

They walked down a hall and Argent opened a door before shoot a paint ball at one if the cameras and the rest followed him, Malia dragging the unconscious body of the hunter with them. "The thermite charges will take care of the weapons. Just make sure you're clear before they detonate, okay?" Argent said as he grabbed a bag from Scott before walking down a hall with Lydia and Amara following him.

Argent slowly opened a door where a hunter was sitting in front of a few screens, "You find the problem?" He asked and Argent walked up to him before slamming the butt of his gun down on the man's head, knocking him out.

They walked over to the desk and watched through the servalince cameras as Malia and Scott walk down at hall. All of the sudden Lydia's head shot up, "Did you hear a gunshot?" Lydia asked making Argent and Amara look at her before glancing at each other. "No, I didn't hear anything." Argent said and Amara nodded in agreement before Lydia signed, "I heard shell casings. I saw your windshield crack, and then I heard it shatter." Lydia said making Amara glance at Argent with wide eyes.

"Maybe you were right. We should've called this off." Amara sighed and Lydia nodded in agreement. "We all have to get out of there." Lydia said as heard another gun shot and more shell casings. "Do that, and we lose our chance." Argent said and Amara sighed, "Scott and Malia could die. It's not worth the risk." She said.

"Ten minutes ago, I would've agreed, but right now, we're in it, and we need to weigh the risk versus reward carefully. If we stay, we could succeed. If we go, we know we won't get another chance. Since one risk is known, and the other unknown..." Argent trailed off and Lydia sighed and nodded slightly, "We go with the known." She said and Argent nodded before unlocking the door.

A few minutes later after finding out they took all the weapons, Argent pressed the button to the intercom, "Guys, get out of there now." He said.

"Let's go before they all get back." Malia said and they when to leave but Scott stopped, "That scent..." He said and Malia sniffed the air for a moment before turning to a door off to the side. "It's Jiang and Tierney." She said

"Guys, you need to leave now!" Argent said making Scott and Malia looked over towards the camera before looking at the door again, "Help me with this." Scott said, running over to a door. "He never listens." Amara muttered as Scott and Malia started to try and open the door.

Something started beeping and a red light on the desk started flashing making them look down at it and Argent's eyes widened slightly. "No, no, no! Don't open that door!" He yelled through the intercom but Scott and Malia ignored him before pulling the door open.

Almost instantly a bunch of stuff on the console in front of them started beeping and flashing and an alarm started blaring as the door to the armory closed in their own. Argent tries a few things before sighing, "Nope. Everything's shut down. They're locked in, and we can't do anything about it."

"What's this?" Lydia asked looked down at the console in front if them that had a bunch of flashing lights. "A motion sensor." Argent said and Amara squinted slightly as she read something on it, "What does H-2100 mean?" She said.

"H stands for halon. It's a fire suppression system. It'll pull all the oxygen out of the room to put out a fire." Argent explained making their eyes widen, "All of the oxygen? How long can a Werewolf hold their breath?" Lydia asked, glancing at Amara who just looked at the screen and sighed.

"I think we're about to find out."

"Communications are shut down, and the room is soundproof." Argent said as he looked at some wires on the ceiling, "We need to warn them." Lydia said. "We are. One of these pipes leads in there." He said before pulling his gun out, taking the clip out and handing it to Amara before banging the end of the gun on the pipe. "Anything?" He asked and Amara shook her head, "Nothing." She said and Argent continued banging on the pipe.

"I think he hears you." Amara said as Scott and Malia looked in the direction of the banging. Argent started banging on the pipe harder making Lydia and Amara look at him confused, "What are you doing?" Lydia asked before noticing the giant hole in the pipe.

"Don't trip the sensors!" He yelled and another sensor turned on. Amara sat down at the chair and watched as Scott and Malia jumped over one sensor then ducked under the other before jumping on top of the shelves, Malia on top of Scott. Malia went to sit up but another sensor right above them turned on making Scott pull Malia down, flushed against him.

"Okay. If I can bypass the electrical system, I might be able to reset the console." Argent said as he messed with a bunch of wires on the desk. Amara's eyebrows furrow as she kept watching the screen before tapping Argent and Lydia's arms and nodding at the screen. "What the hell is she doing?" Amara muttered as Malia climbed up a pillar.

Malia jumped from the pillar and hung off a beam on the ceiling by her hands and feet before trying to reach out to something. She tried a few times before managing to rip a padlock off of a skylight but right as the lock hit the ground it broke and a piece hit a sensor. An alarm started going off as something started blowing into the room making Scott and Malia fall to the ground with a groan before they both started having trouble breathing.

"How long do they have?" Lydia asked and Amara shook her head slightly, "Minutes." She said as she slowly stood up.

"We found Anderson unconscious. We're moving in." They heard over the radio making Argent sit down and change camera to the hallway to see a bunch if hunters walking up to the door. "How many are inside?"

"I don't know."

"What else can anybody see?"

"We have to do something." Lydia said and Amara nodded. They walked out to the hall and Argent tossed a smoke grenade down the hallway where the hunters stood. Argent stepped out and shot the lights sending the hallways into darkness. He slammed the butt end of his rifle against the first two hunters heads while Amara stepped out into the hall.

One hunter ran forward but she grabbed his gun as her hand started slowing red hot making the gun start to melt and she bent it to were it was pointing back at him. She didnt give him any time to reach before grabbing his head and slamming it into the wall.

Another hunter ran up and pointed his gun at her bit before she could do anything, Lydia came out and tossed the duffel bag at the man before kicking him making gin fall to the ground. "Have I mentioned just how much I love you?" Amara asked making Lydia chuckle before Amara grabbed her hand.

They were about to walk further down the hall but the sound of electricity cracking made Lydia freeze as the lights flashed for a moment before she was standing in the middle of the McCall house with the weird spider like shadows. The loud sound of glass shattering made Lydia grab onto Amara arm and was followed by the sounds of gunfire and screaming.

"Lydia!" Amara said loudly bringing Lydia out of their premonition, "Come on." Amara said before that walked up to the door. "You said the doors were solid steel." Lydia said and Argent look at her, "I said they'll stop a bullet, not a Banshee." He said before stepping off to the side. Lydia looked over at Amara who nodded and gestured towards the door.

"Well go on then, Scream Queen." She said and Lydia sighed before turning to the door and taking a couple deep breaths before screaming. The door started bending from the force of the scream before completely falling down. "That was attractive." Amara said making Lydia smile before they looked at Scott and Malia.

"You guys okay?" Amara asked as Malia and Scott took deep breaths and nodded.

⚔

"They're Nemetons." Amara said as her, Argent, Makena, Melissa, Lydia and Mason looked down at a map that Scott and Malia found at the armory. There was a red dot in like every continent. The sound of glass cracking again made Lydia look up and glance around.

"What does Gerard want with them?" Melissa asked, "If they're like the one here, they're beacons for supernaturals." Mason said and Makena nodded. "If you wanted to kill every supernatural creature in the world, these are where you would start." Makena said and Melissa sighed, "Well, then Gerard isn't gonna stop with Beacon Hills, is he?"

"He wants the whole world." Argent said and then Agent McCall walked in making them turn to him, "Where's Scott?" He asked. "Upstairs. Why?" Melissa asked as he walked over to them, "He can't leave. No one can." He said.

"Nice to see that you changed your mind, but I'm afraid to ask why." Melissa said, "It's Gerard's weapons." McCall said and then the sound of shell casings falling made Lydia look around as Scott and Malia walked in. "Dad?" Scott asked.

The guns, they've all been distributed legally to the citizens of Beacon Hills-
all of them, and at no charge." McCall said making their eyes widen, "What, he just gave them away?" Scott asked and Argent shook his head. "No. He's arming his army." He said before Amara heard the sound of a gun cocking making her look up at the window before her eyes widened.

"Get down!" She yelled before grabbing Lydia and Mason, pulling them down right as a could flash bang arrows shit through the window making everyone get down. Soon the sound of gunfire filled the house and red dots pointed inside. It went on for a moment before the shots and red dots disappeared.

Everyone looked up before their eyes widen as a giant puddle of blood started to grow on the ground.
