Chapter 2: The King of Hell
The hunter glared at john before slowly standing up pulling out a shiny silver knife without a handguard. "I don't fucking care!" he yelled before swiping at John, but John caught his wrist and broke his wrist causing him to drop the knife into John's left hand. The hunter stared in fear and anger at John right before John stabbing him in the stomach with the angel blade. "Lookie here. Decide to cease being a pathetic human bounty hunter?" said a sneering voice from behind John and he slowly turned around pulling out the angel blade as he did so. "I'm doing what I have to in order to protect the human race. The need of the many outweigh the need of the few." said John as he flexed his fingers around the angel blade's hilt. The woman with black eyes laughed before her eyes turned normal and she said, "Surrender the throne to me, or I'll have to kill you slowly and painfully." John's only response was to flare his eyes before walking towards the demon. The demon's sneer vanished and turned into a snarl as flicked her hand without success. John knelt down and turned his hand into flaming bones right before causing the ground to explode in a line towards the demon as she ran away. Unfortunately she was too slow to escape the attack and was sent flying when the explosion reached her feet. "You demons. You're always trying to get more power. You're never satisfied with what you have. You're greedy inferior insects." said John as he reached the demon right before stabbing her in the chest. Meanwhile, Dean had just stopped the impala and headed towards the woods. While, he was doing that Sam pulled out an angel blade and swiped at the demon but she only flicked her fingers sending him flying. "Tsk tsk tsk. You really shouldn't have done that Samantha. Dean's going to be angry at me, but all well. There are casualties in wars, and make no mistake. This is a war, and I will be victorious." said the demon before she clenched her fist causing Sam to start suffocating. Suddenly, Dean returned and held the demon killing knife to her neck and said dangerously, "Let my brother go you demon bitch."
"Deanna, you don't get to tell me what to do. I'm going to be the queen of hell, and there's nothing I won't do to ensure my rise to power." said the demon cooly before she let Sam go. "I'll go find the Rider, and when I have I'll send you the location. Till then I'm going to stay away from your attack dog. I value my life too much." When Sam and Dean were on the road again they didn't speak for a whole our till Sam said, "We are not going to kill John." which made Dean laugh before he said darkly, "He killed Chuck, I'm not going to let that son of a bitch live another day. That is final." Meanwhile, John was driving down a road again when he heard some howling. "Oh come on! Fucking hellhounds!" said John with irritation before he stopped the car and stepped out of the car then flared his eyes to see the hellhounds. "Go back to hell. This is your last warning!" yelled John before the closest hellhound leapt at him. John grabbed it with a flaming hand and stabbed it in the skull with the angel blade in his right hand. He proceeded to pull the blade out as he spun to impale the other hellhound. He kept at this till only one was left, but this one ran away instead of attacking him. "I have to get back to the palace very soon." said John with exhaustion as he sat back down into his car before he drove off. An hour later he arrived at the palace, but he was surrounded by demons who stared at him with hate. "So how are we going to do this? The easy way or the hard way?" asked John using a dangerous tone as he pulled out an angel blade after he exited his car. The demons all looked at each other before they backed away knowing that they wouldn't stand a chance against him. He immediately got back in his car and drove up to the front door of the building. "If you follow me, I will ensure that Hell becomes great again. I don't care about deals so you can go ahead and kill those you made deals with. If you follow me, it's open season on humanity." The demons around him smiled with excitement before someone said, "If you follow him, you'll be led to ruin. What's humanity without demons, and what are demons without humanity?" All of the demons looked behind them and their faces went pale with fear once they saw the Ghost Rider.
"How can you be so sure?" demanded the demon who was trying to earn the other demons loyalty. John walked up to him as he said, "I'm sure, because all demons used to be human at one point. Without humanity, none of you would exist." The demons all looked at each other with doubt but didn't say anything till one of them challenged, "Yeah? Prove it." John looked at him as if he was stupid then said two words, "Dean Winchester." The demons start to realize he was right but became doubtful again when another demon said, "True. He became a demon, but the Mark of Cain turned him into a demon. Any other proof?" John sighed as he massaged his face before he said, "Fuck negotiations." right before he stabbed the would be king the angel blade. The others widened their eyes and backed up involuntarily as he turned to stare at them. "As of right now, I'm the new King of Hell. If anyone of you disobeys my laws and or challenges my rule I will make sure you are tortured beyond the meaning of torture. Lucifer may have invented torture, but I will perfect it like literally." The demons reluctantly knelt on one knee as John sat down on the throne. Meanwhile, Dean and Sam were just leaving a motel room when the demon returned with an angry expression. " I know where the Rider is." said the demon which acquired the attention of Dean and Sam, with the later glaring at her. "Relax Samantha. After you kill him our alliance is done." said the demon as she stared at him with annoyance. "So where is he?" asked Dean with a neutral expression which caught the attention of the demon. "He's at the same place Crowley stayed as King of Hell" Dean rolled his eyes as he groaned, "son of a bitch." The demon stared between them before she said impatiently, "Well? What are you waiting for?" right before Demon pulled out his demon knife and stabbed her in the stomach. Sam widened his eyes in surprise as he saw Dean wipe the demon blood off onto his jacket. "Let's go." said Dean gruffly as he walked towards the impala.
"Was that your plan the whole time?" asked Sam curiously as Dean drove them out of town. "Last time I trusted a demon, Lucifer kill Cas." said Dean shortly before putting in a cassette that started playing the Wayward Song. Once they got near to the palace Dean shut down the car and walked out towards the trunk of the impala. Once they were armed with the demon killing knife, and angel blade, and two shotguns they slowly walked towards the main gate of the palace. There were two demons in front of them so they pulled out their knives and stabbed them in the back before throwing the knives at two others. After they reacquired the knives Dean grabbed an id card and swiped it on the panel to open the gate. After they arrived at the front of the building they slowly opened the door and immediately came face to face with two demons. "Oh son of a bi.." said Dean before both of them was forced back by demonic telekinesis. The last thing he saw was the demon punching down onto his head rendering him unconscious, and when he woke up both he and Sam were kneeling in front of a throne. "It's been a long time, my old friends." said John as he stared down at them from his place at the throne. "You son of a bitch." said Dean angrily as he glared at him, but Sam was quiet for a few seconds before he asked calmly, "How long ago did you become King of Hell?" John stood up from his throne and gestured for the demons to back away as he snapped his fingers unlocking the chains from Sam. "I became the King of Hell not too long ago. It was the only way for the Rider to give me control of the abilities again." Sam acquired an angry expression for a few seconds before he said, "That's why you killed Chuck, isn't it." John nodded once before he sat back down in his throne and said, "I didn't want to kill all those people, but the Rider gave me no choice. The only kill I had control of was Chuck's friend. He gave me no choice. It was him or me, so I chose me." Dean raised his head at that and acquired a murderous look before he yelled, "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU JOHN CONSTANTINE! I DON'T CARE THAT YOU'RE THE KING OF HELL!" John sighed before he flicked one finger causing Dean to go flying into a wall and stick there then said, "I will let you and your brother leave here alive Sam. However, if either of you return here again I will not show mercy." Sam glared at him before he said angrily, "You really are your father's son. You're no longer the human who we sided with. You are nothing but a monster." John nodded sadly in agreement before letting Dean fall of the wall.
The next day Sam and Dean were in a motel thinking of what to do when Sam perked his head up as he widened his eyes with realization. "We can't go to him, but what if we don't have to? Since he's half demon and the King of Hell, we could summon him here." Dean thought for a moment then said, "No. Not here. We'll do it at the bunker. At least we can easily defend ourselves there and we know the layout." Once Sam and Dean had returned to the bunker they walked down into their torture room. After they had summoned John Dean pulled out the demon killing knife while Sam cuffed him with the demon preventing cuffs. "What are you thinking Dean? You going to torture me before killing me? If so you might want to get something better than that. You can't kill me with that knife." said John as he rolled his eyes. "Don't know that till we try." said Dean as he moved towards him. Suddenly, Dean was rendered unconscious by Sam who had a taser in his hands. "Oh hoo. I did not see that coming at all." laughed John right before Sam threw a wrench at him hitting him in the face breaking his nose in the process. "Oooh my poor nose." joked John as he smiled with blood streaming down his face. "Shut up." said Sam before he pulled out a slip of paper and looked at it. " Monstrum separare hominem et mittere in gehennam!" said Sam which caused John to cringe in pain as he felt the Rider scream in agony. After Sam said it a second time John fell unconscious from the pain that was twice as strong as the first time. When John woke up he was back in his old house that he lived in with his late wife Sara, but heard a familiar voice behind him. "Don't let him do this John. If he does this you won't be King of Hell anymore and they will be in danger." John looked back at the man who said that before he pulled out an angel blade as he said, "You're not really a shade, are you. You're an actual psychic clone of my father. When I accepted the role of King of Hell, you took over entirely. I became you! I will never be your vessel! I will be my own man!" Crowley glared at him as he flicked his fingers sending John flying into the glass table shattering it. "You were nothing but an insurance of my survival. I died, knowing that I would come back from the dead in you. Your destiny is to be my meat suit!" yelled Crowley before he was disintegrated and someone was standing there. "Hi. My name's Chuck. Some people call me God, but I prefer the name Chuck." said the bearded little man. John glared at him as he stood up before he said, "Really? Somehow I doubt that. God doesn't care about me much less humanity if he is real."
