Rocking Red Reaper: Yeah I hope we see the original Michael in season 14. Have a Michael vs AU Michael :D. Yeah maybe God and Lucifer might have got their judgement wrong. They didn't even know Gabriel was alive. We'll see how it goes in this story.
Guest: You never know he might make a comeback. Writers do tend to surprise us sometimes.
Dean has tried to get through to Rowena but she was not picking up.
"God damm it Rowena." He mutters.
"Dean I still think this is a bad idea."
"Cas seriously bad idea or not we are sticking to it."
"Dean this is Michael we are talking about who has been in the cage. Both Lucifer and God have said that Michael is in no state to fight. His not in the right frame of mind If you let Michael out. Not only Lucifer and the other Michael will be our problem but he will definitely be a problem as well."
"Not if I'm in control."
"You think his going to agree to that."
Before Dean could answer, the familiar Scottish accent comes through the phone.
"What the bloody hell do you want Dean."
"I need you." He answers.
"Sorry but I'm with Charlie we are in the Southwest."
Dean frowns.
"You are with Charlie?"
"Yes"
Dean did not even want to imagine how that was going.
"Whatever I need you to come back here."
"Why?"
"I'll explain when you arrive. Come alone don't bring Charlie. "
"You expect me to abandon her on our trip."
"Yeah sorry Rowena but you are gonna have to."
" Dean can you just tell me now what is going on?"
Dean sighs. "It's Sam. Lucifer his got him and Jack. His got them both."
There was a few seconds of silence. Rowena let out a "What"
"I got a plan but I need your help. "
"I thought Lucifer is... "
"I thought that to. Turns out he and Michael made a deal and they both managed to get through."
" Michael is here to" Dean heard her mutter a few swear words under her breath. "So what is it we are doing going and confronting him."
"Can't do that Lucifer is too powerful now."
"What do you mean his too powerful now?"
"He consumed Jack's grace. Lucifer is super-juiced."
"This just gets better and better." Rowena says with a sigh.
"But Rowena I got a plan but it won't work without your help so please."
The witch groans but part of her didn't want to say no. Rowena wanted to get involved and get rid of the devil the sooner the better.
"Fine. I'll be quick as I can."
The call ended. Dean slumps down on a chair and prayed that his brother and Jack were hopefully going to be alive when he rescues them. He did not want to turn up after saying yes to Michael and find dead bodies.
Please stay strong Sammy. I'm coming. I promise I will end this. Lucifer will die.
Sam hit the ground. With a grunt he rolls and slowly gets to his feet. He faces the devil who still Jack by the jacket.
Lucifer sighs. "Really, Sam? Hitching a ride? I mean, do you ever quit?"
Sam glares at him "Go to hell."
The devil rolls his eyes. "Hell, yeah. Been there. Done that." he let's go of the nephilim and kicks the younger hunter in the face. Sam goes back by the force of the kick and hits the ground. He winces. Lucifer hovers over him with that frightening smirk. He grabs Sam by the neck and raises him in the air. Sam started struggling to breath as the devil increased his grip around his neck. "You know it's been real fun. I really had a great time with you but I think we should see other people."
He let's go off Sam. Sam gasps for air before he can make a move, Lucifer touches his chest aiming for the soul and started causing great pain to Sam. Sam cries out in pain. Lucifer's eyes now glow gold as he started torturing the younger Winchester. Enjoying the reaction he was receiving from Sam.
"STOP"
Lucifer's eyes go back to normal. He removes his hand and turns to face his son.
"Now why should I listen to you?"
Both father and son started walking towards each other.
"Because I'm your son." Jack answers.
"Oh, yeah. Well, you had a chance with that." Lucifer punches Jack in the face. Jack grunts and looks back at his father. Lucifer punches him again sending the nephilim down to his knees. He gives one final swing and sends Jack face down to the ground. "Now? As for kids Ah, I can make more of those"
The hell you not Sam thought.
Sam charges at the devil. He makes a grab for him but Lucifer is quicker. He punches Sam across the face. Sam tumbles to the ground clutching on to his face where he got hit.
Lucifer sighs. "Wow, Daddy Sammy coming to the rescue. But your little Jackie, the nougat-loving boy that you had before, he's killed people. He's got lots of blood on his hands."
Jack stands up blood pouring from his nose.
Sam stands up. "I don't care. He's family." he says.
Jack looks at Sam feeling touched by those words.
Lucifer snorted.
"Ha! What's family done for anybody? My dad left me. My brothers tried to kill me. A lot. Family blows. And I'm gonna prove it to you"
"What by killing me." Sam laughs slightly "Go ahead."
Lucifer shakes his head.
"No I'm not gonna kill you. He is."
Lucifer points at Jack. Jack looks at Lucifer with confusion.
"No" he says to his father.
The archangel blade drops to the ground. Lucifer takes a step back and clasps his hands.
"Yes. I'm feeling generous today. One of you is gonna walk out that door, and the other one will be laying dead on the ground. You choose." Jack and Sam both give nervous glances to each other. Neither of them wanted to kill each other. Lucifer smirks "Come on boys the clock is ticking."
Rowena walks in. Dean jumps out of his seat.
"Where the hell were you?"
"Traffic Dean plus I was quite away." She puts her bags down on the table "Charlie was okay she didn't mind go and exploring the rest on her own. So what's this plan you came up with?." she notices Cas's annoyed expression. "What's up with you?"
"Dean is about to do something really stupid." Cas mutters.
"Cas we been through this."Dean snaps at him.
"Is he talking about the plan?" Rowena asks.
"His planning on saying yes to Michael." Cas says.
Rowena looks at Dean eye wide.
"What! Dean are you crazy."
"I don't have a choice Rowena."
"But Dean didn't he just make a deal with Lucifer to get both of them here. Now you want to work with him to stop Lucifer."
"I'm not saying yes to that Michael."
Rowena frowns "Huh?"
"That's when you come in. Remember you summoned Lucifer to that cage so he can talk to Sam."
"Yes"
"I want you to do it again but this time you are summoning Michael."
Rowena bursts out laughing.
"Dean you have done some daft things in the past but this...this tops it all."
Cas nods agreeing with the witch.
"Rowena. We don't have much time. Lucifer has them and he could kill them any second. He can destroy the universe that's how powerful he is now. Yes I know Michael is not perfect but his the only one who can probably beat Lucifer. Him and me together we can be stronger. Please Rowena." Rowena huffs still looking uncertain. "Rowena you want Lucifer dead right."
"Yes but..."
"This is the perfect opportunity. We need Michael whether you like it or not we need him."
Rowena still had her doubts but by the way things were going Michael was their only option. She sighs "Alright. I'll do it."
"Dean even if we wanted to summon him, we can't get in Hell. Crowley is not there to give us access now." Cas says.
"I might be able to get us in." Rowena says. "I am at my full power now."
Dean nods "Great so we go to some abandon building and get the door open."
"Yes but we go to the same building we all entered the first time."
Cas frowns he really wasn't liking this plan at all. The last time this happened, Sam ended up trapped with Lucifer in the cage. Cas was forced to say yes to the devil. However Rowena is now on their side so she will keep the warding up and stop Michael from getting to Dean.
Please hope nothing goes wrong Cas thought.
"Cas" Cas looks at Dean who now his bag over his shoulder. "Lets go"
The Impala pulls up outside the building. The three of them get out. The door opens and they walk in. Rowena gets out her spell book and scrolls through the pages to find the right spell. As she was doing that, Dean puts his hand on Cas's shoulder and gives him an encouraging smile.
"Everything is gonna be okay."
"When has things ever been okay." Cas says.
Dean sighs "Look if Michael won't corporate or if something goes wrong, we'll get Rowena to send him back and we'll find another way."
"Now you are suggesting to look into other options."
"The worst case scenario would be is having to go and look for the other Michael and make a deal with him. But that is an option I don't want to do."
Cas looks at him horrified.
His actually considered that as an option
"Okay I found it." Rowena says.
She raises her hand and begins chanting. The wall began to crumble, the room shook as the wall started falling apart. Dean gulps the thought of going back into Hell made him uneasy but he had to do this. He had to do it for Sam and Jack.
Rowena stops. What was a wall was now nothing but a black hole. Dean walks towards it and looks in. There is long stairwell that Dean went down last time to get into Hell to get to his brother.
"Lets do this." he says as he steps in.
Cas watched as he his friend stepped into the darkness. He had to go through with it now. Cas had no choice but to follow him. Rowena puts her book away and picks up her bags. She then follows.
The stairs felt never-ending. The deeper they went the darker it got. Dean tried his best to stay calm but deep down he is nervous. All this time he has wanted to avoid this moment but now he couldn't avoid it he was going to have to face the archangel and say one simple word yes.
He looks down and sees the flames brightening up the area. They were almost there.
When they finally made it down. They continued walking until they reached their destination. The cage stood out in the room. Dean still had that image of when Sam was in there with Lucifer. He closes his eyes and pushes that memory out of his mind. He opens his eyes and the cage was empty again.
"Well this brings back a lot of memories." Rowena says as she puts her bags down.
Dean looks at her "Do what you need to do."
Rowena looks back at him "I hope you know what you are doing Dean." she begins getting her ingredients out. Doing what she done last time, she goes towards the cage and begins painting sigils around the cage. After doing that, she goes back to her table of ingredients. "Okay I'm ready."
Cas looks at Dean "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Dean nods "Yes I'm sure."
Rowena raises her hands "Okay then." she clears her throat
"Foh roh deh gah lah moh ray"
The sigils began glowing one by one until each one was now glowing.
"Mah hoh tah"
Flames burst out of the ground and spread around the cage. Rowena drops the last remaining ingredient into her mixture and says the last line of the spell.
"Foh reh say-lah"
Sparks followed by flames burst out of the mixture. Thunder rumbled in the room followed by flashes of lightning. The fire around rose taking over the cage. Dean is dreading to see what Michael was like. Has he really gone insane? Is he as bad as God and Lucifer put it to him?
"His coming" Rowena says.
Dean takes a deep breath and looks at the cage. The fire started dying down around the cage. In the corner of the cage was a figure sat down with his arms around his legs rocking back and forth.
Dean tilts his head with a puzzled look.
"Is that..."
Cas nods. Cas couldn't help but feel sad to see Michael like that.
Michael had his head down muttering to himself. Dean tires to hear what the archangel was saying. He then frowns.
"His singing."
Again Cas gives Michael another sad look.
This is not like him he thought.
He looks at Dean and shakes his head.
"Dean we can't look at him."
Dean raises his hand to silence the angel. "Just wait." Michael continued rocking and back forth muttering the same lyrics over and over. Dean looks at the archangel. He felt he has just stepped into a mental institution. Dean thought it would be wise to take this nice and slow. "Michael" he says. Michael ignores him. "Michael" he calls out louder this time.
Michael stops. He raises his head and looks round. He realizes something is different, he is in a different cage. Then he remembered someone calling his name. He looks in the direction where he heard his name. His eyes glow blue as he sets his eyes on the three figures outside the cage. Was this real or was this a trick from the cage? Whatever it was it got Michael's attention. It's been so long since he heard another voice. He stands up.
Dean watched as the archangel's eyes glow blue and started slowly rising from the ground. He started making his way towards them. As he was coming out of the shadows, Dean froze. Looking back at him was his father a younger version.
"What the..." Dean spits out.
"It's a way of you not seeing his true form. Like Lucifer did when he showed himself as Nick." Cas says.
Michael pauses. He wraps his hands around the bars. Dean sees the archangel frown when he realized he still couldn't get out. Michael's glowing eyes shift upwards now looking into Dean's eyes. Recognition appears on the archangel's face his eyes return to normal.
"Dean...Winchester." he says his voice trembling.
Dean nods "Yes"
Michael leans forward pressing against the bars.
"Is it...really you?"
"It is" Cas answers.
Michael's turns now focusing on the angel.
"Castiel" Cas nods at him. Michael looks at them back and forth "Is this another trick?"
Dean shakes his head "No. We summoned you to this cage."
Michael looks around the cage again. Dean couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. He thought it would be easy confronting Michael but not that he has his father's face and looks broken.
You are doing this for Sam and Jack he reminds himself.
"You... summoned... me"
"Yes"
Michael folds his arms still trying to process what was happening.
"I assume you didn't do this for the goodness of your heart." he says.
Dean sighs "Well..."
"What do you want?" Michael says now sounding abrupt.
Dean folds his arms. He really hoped this was the right decision.
"I need your help."
I hope it's good so far. Next chapter coming soon :)
