"I can't read this," Jack said, pushing the huge thick book towards Sam causing the hunter to look at him. They were searching up information about some sort of ancient creature that was rumored to have awakened and to destroy the universe. "It's Enochian."
Sam blinked before nodding. Jack may be part angel but he didn't understand Enochian yet, and Castiel and Gabriel were off in Heaven for some reason. "It's okay, Jack," he assured the youngest member of Team Free Will. "Cas and Gabriel should be back today."
The concern and stress had slipped out in his words, poor Sam was stressed out about the whole situation that was going on… him and Dean. They didn't know what this ancient creature was plus they were missing their angel boyfriends. At the moment, Mary Winchester and Bobby Singer were out on a hunt and Dean went to go see Crowley to find out what this threat is.
Jack pulled the book towards him again, looking down at it. He flipped through it again, coming across a black and white photo of an odd creature that looked like a man with bat wings and a… tail? With destruction around him.
"Maybe this is it." Jack showed it to the hunter.
Sam studied the picture, only getting more questions in his head then answers. "Who the hell is that?"
-Jack transition-
It would surprise anyone to hear that the demons were scared. Was it the possibility of being slaughtered more brutality than they released on Earth or the darkness and evil combined ready to release destruction? Crowley, the King of Hell, was terrified, more so than when Dean had the Mark of Cain.
Of course, he wouldn't admit it to anyone that he was terrified not even to his own mother but he had never felt so unnerved in his entire demonic life.
"How are we suppose to beat this thing if we don't know what it is," Dean Winchester said frustrated beyond belief.
To try and figure everything out, everyone was divided. Castiel and Gabriel went to Heaven to get information, Sam and Jack were doing research while Mary and Bobby continued on with the hunting so they won't fall behind, leaving Dean, Crowley and Rowena in Hell, hoping the demons would know.
They were shit out of luck.
"Frustration won't get us anywhere, dear boy," Rowena said, not looking up from her spell book. ""We just got to keep pushing."
Crowley watched as Dean rubbed face, wanting to scream in frustration. He knew the Winchester brothers for years, he even tried to kill them multiple times and vise versa, but he had grew rather fond of the two humans. Sam, aka Moose, was incredibly tall while Dean the Squirrel just loved to eat. The two that were…
Crowley hummed, he wanted to slap himself for not thinking about it earlier. Two Archangels trapped in the Cage, they would know.
Dean looked at the demon. "Don't let Hell freeze in your mind."
Crowley looked at him. "We have two Archangels in the Cage. They have to have knowledge about whatever is coming."
Rowena and Dean looked him. "You think they're going to help? Lucifer hates your guts."
Crowley shrugged. "Lucifer hates everyone. Besides, they're in danger too."
Dean shared a glance with Rowena before agreeing with Crowley. Crowley gave a little smirk before he turned on his heels, motioning for his mother and the Winchester to follow him. They walked out of the 'palace', down what appears to be a dark alley where it opened up to an area where the Cage was placed on the center. They stopped a few feet away from it, for their own safety.
"Well, well, well." Lucifer's eyes were glowing a deep red, the only thing that was visible in the darkness. "Looks like we got visitors brother."
Michael only hummed, clearly not interested.
Lucifer stepped forward, making himself visible. The fallen Archangel stared at them, curious in why they were visiting him and annoyed that they were. "Should I guess why you're here? I'm not good at guessing games." He chuckled.
"We need information," Dean said bluntly.
Lucifer smiled at Dean. "Aww, Dean, you didn't say hi to me."
Dean narrowed his eyes. "Listen, I'm not sure if you and Michael can sense what's going on but it's nothing good. Something ancient has awakened and we only have limited time to stop it."
That seemed to catch Michael's attention as the Archangel moved closer to hear more.
"Angels, your siblings, and the demons are terrified of whatever the hell this thing is. So if you know, you tell," Dean demanded.
Crowley watched as the two Archangels silently communicated with each other. They didn't look terrified as Gabriel had but they did look greatly concerned about this.
"It is powerful. It's before any angel was created," Michael said, staring at his hands, picking up on the energy. "He won't be defeated easily."
"He?" Crowley asked.
Lucifer looked at his brother. "I thought he was killed."
Michael shook his head. "No, I think they only subdue him and his followers." He turned to the others. "You must let us out. You're going to need every angel and demon."
"Why should we let you out?" Rowena asked.
Before Michael could respond, Lucifer just spit out his attitude. "If you don't the whole world will be slaughtered. The whole universe will be gone! Every angel, every demon, every Heaven and Hell creatures need to get ready. A bloody war is coming to Earth and many is going to die."
Rowena didn't move a muscle, Dean swallowed his worries and Crowley just stared at the Archangel. The connection of what was going on had suddenly popped into his mind, he felt a chill of overwhelming fear in his body. He heard about him before, when he was a young demon and the older ones used to tell him all about….
Hell, he thought he was a myth. He believed it was. And now he wished it was.
"Who are we fighting?" Dean asked worriedly.
Lucifer looked at his older brother for a moment. "He is someone who wishes death, destruction, evil…" He paused. He looked down at his feet.
"Wormwood."
