AN: Goooooooooooooooooooooood evening my Imperial Storm Army! First, Whisper darling, if you see this, I got your request (yes, I do take requests!) and I love it! So I wrote it done in my notebook, and I'll get to it soon! Anyways, welcome everyone! Old and new! This is the part in my Battle For The World 'verse! If you haven't read the first one which is Team Free Will, then you might want to read that first or you'll be confused. Anyways. This one is a little short. About three or four chapters. The next one's a little longer, then the last one's the longest only because it had an alternate ending. So yeah. Anyways. I apologize for the light delay. I wanted this out the night after Team Free Will, but my allergies kicked my ass and I was loopy from allergy meds. But here it is! Yay! Ugh...still really tired. Any medicine that has a sedative in it makes me a zombie. So let's get going! Enough of my rambling.

Summary: Second in The Battle For The World 'verse! Team Free Will are in search of Seraph Blade, the one thing that'll kill Lucifer. When they find it, it's stuck in stone? Dear Chuck...Not this old cliche! Now what? Stay tuned and find out!

Enjoy

Old Cliches Don't Die I Guess

Team Free Will had found the blade but they were confused. They had thought the blade would be hidden more...better? Buried, in the depths of an ocean, frozen in ice, etc. But nope! It's stuck in stone.

"You're serious? Like totally serious?" Dean asked.

"Completely. It seems our Father has a rather twisted sense of humor." Michael said.

"So the old 'sword in the stone' cliche seemed to be funny! Because this isn't!" Dean shouted.

"Dean shh! Sam's trying to rest." Gabriel shushed as Sam stirred on the bed.

Poor Sam had come down with a nasty fever that refused to break. The fever just happened so suddenly and when Sam collapsed the team panicked. The doctors say he was just fine, but the archangels had other ideas. Gabriel and Michael fear that maybe this is Lucifer's doing in attempt to slow them down.

"Sorry. How's he doing?" Dean asked worriedly.

He crossed the room of the fancy hotel room they were residing in. He sat on the end of Sam's bed and felt his forehead, wincing at the heat he felt there. He gently brushed the wayward bangs out of his eyes and sighed. He wished he could something for his baby, but there was nothing except to keep the fever down and keep him hydrated.

"De?" Sam asked weakly waking a little.

"Hey buddy." Dean cooed. "How you feeling?"

"S'hot." Sam whimpered and tried to kick the light blanket Gabriel snapped up for him off.

"I know baby boy, I know. Just relax and go back to sleep." Dean soothed.

"M'kay." Sam rasped sleepy.

Sam snuggled down into the blanket despite him being hot, then fell back to sleep with his brother whispering soothingly to him. He was glad to have him back by his side. Sammy had missed him terribly when they were separated.

Dean watched as his baby fell back to sleep with him whispering soothingly to him. He wished he could the fever away, but there was nothing they could do. The angels couldn't heal him, they tried, but the fever was stubborn.

"Sleep well Sammy." Dean whispered tucking his brother back in.

Gabriel dipped the cloth he was using to wipe Sam's brow, back in the icy water and wrung out the access, then placed the cool cloth back on his forehead. He whispered to Sam when he shivered and tried to move away from the coldness.

"So now what?" Dean asked quietly.

"We try to locate the stone in which the sword is kept. Then we figure out how to remove it." Michael said.

"What if the blade is held to the stone by a binding spell?" Castiel asked.

"Then we look for a counter spell, and take the blade." Gabriel said. "We'll do whatever it takes baby bro. We need this blade to defeat Luci."

"I wish we didn't have to fight him." Castiel said sadly. He hated fighting with his brothers and sisters.

"We feel the same Castiel. But Lucifer used his free will for evil instead of good. Because of that he sealed his fate. This will bring the world peace again and erase the fear of the Devil. I know it's hard little brother, but believe me when I say this is for the best." Michael said with a heavy heart.

"Indeed. What about Sam? He needs help the most right now." Castiel then asked.

"How about you and Mikey go look for the blade? If you find it and what seals it to stone, Dean and I can research a counter spell or whatever to break it's bind, and this way we can still care for and look after Sam, and find away to break this fever of his; and see what caused it." Gabriel asked.

"Sounds good to me. How 'bout it guys?" Dean asked.

"Sounds good to me too, what about you Castiel?" Michael asked looking at his little brother.

Castiel nodded. "We shall return soon."

"We'll call if we find anything." Michael said.

"Good luck you guys." Gabriel said.

"Bring some good news yeah?" Dean asked.

"We'll try." Michael said.

Castiel nodded and disappeared along with his brother. Dean sighed and went back to caring for his baby boy with Gabriel.

"Come on kiddo, you can beat this. You need to beat this." Dean whispered to Sam.

Sam moaned and shifted to get comfortable, but he was in such pain that no position was comfortable. He settled when he heard his brother's voice.

'I'm trying Dean. But it hurts and I'm really tired.' Sam thought as he faded back into the painless black abyss.

Meanwhile in an Unknown Location

A figure in the dark room walked up to window and watched the storm outside rage on.

"My Lord, Samuel has been taken care of for the moment. The fever you gave him is slowing him and the angels down." The demon said.

"Excellent. Now leave me." The being said.

"Yes my Lord." The demon said walking out of the room.

"Oh Samuel. I do care for you, but the fever is necessary. I can't have you killing me without us having to talk first." The being said. "Don't worry my boy. The fever won't kill you, just make you uncomfortable. But be warned, I can make it worse. Sleep tight my child. I'll be seeing you soon."

The being smiled and turned back to the window revealing his face. Lucifer smiled a crooked smile, and chuckled.

"My dear Samuel. Soon my boy. Soon." He chuckled.

What the heck Lucifer!? You...you...duck! Yeah! You duck!

Until Next Time! *eats some dinosaur chicken nuggets* I regret nothing.
