"That's what I was hoping you would do," and with the last of his strength Lucifer changed the direction of the blade and sent it right into Anna's chest. The blade glowed a bright orange, which engulfed every one. Lucifer smiled in triumph and exited Sam's body. When the light faded Lucifer stood in front of them all hovering in front of the crucifix. His generals all watched in awe as he descended from the crucifix and walked towards a now fully healed Sam.

"Rise, Sam." He ordered. Sam did as he was told and rose to face Lucifer.

"So you're Lucifer," Dean acknowledged. "I heard you were the most beautiful of all the Angels, but quite frankly I don't see it," he mocked.

Lucifer looked towards Dean and snapped his fingers. Dean felt as if a sledgehammer had hit him in his chest and fell to his knees. Lucifer motioned for Alistair and Lilith to come forward. "Restrain him," he ordered. Lucifer turned his attention back towards Sam and said, "It's time for you to prove that you really are on my side, Sam. Kill Dean."

"As you command, Father," Sam obeyed without question. His eyes turned yellow again as he faced Dean.

"Sam, I know you're in there somewhere," Dean said to his brother. "You can fight this. You're stronger than this."

"This has got to be one of the biggest T.V. clichés ever," Dean sarcastically thought.

"Sam! If you value your life you will carry out my order now!"

"Sam! What's stronger? Lucifer's control over your demon half or our bond as brothers?" Sam's hands began to shake violently as they began to glow. He let lose two energy blasts, but they weren't aimed at Dean. Their desired targets were Lilith and Alistair! Sam spun around to do the same to Lucifer, but he grabbed both Sam's wrists and flung him on to the wall.

"Such potential wasted," Lucifer detested as he kept Sam pinned to the wall. "You are hereby stripped of your rank Sam." Lucifer raised both hands and did something to Sam, who let out a yell. It felt as though something was tearing at his insides. The pain soon ended and Sam fell to the floor breathless. His eyes had turned back to their normal colors.

"Sam, are you ok!?" Dean asked as he half stumbled over to his brother's side.

"I feel better than ok Dean. The demon blood, it's gone. I'm back to normal."

"Yes, you are fully human again Sam. It's such a waste of talent though. You could have been someone in my new world."

"You're talking about the end of the world!" Sam shouted.

"Not the end of the world, Sammy," Azazel corrected. "A better one; Speaking of which, is it time father?"

"Yes Azazel. Approach the Altar." Azazel stood in front of the Altar next to Lucifer. He drew out his knife and cut his wrist. He made a blood symbol on the Altar and Azazel began to recite an incantation.

"What are they doing?" Dean asked.

"They are summoning the other three horsemen of the apocalypse," Castiel weakly coughed out.

"Who's the fourth?" Dean asked as he helped the weakened Angel up.

"The fourth is Azazel, Dean. Haven't you ever wondered why there is only one Yellow Eyed Demon in existence?"

Dean, however, was deep in thought. He felt defeated. There was no way he could stop the incantation without getting killed. He had to do something though!

"God if you can hear me," Dean began to pray, "I could really use your help here." A few seconds passed before Dean thought, "Well it was worth a shot." Then a mysterious power began to circle through Dean. He felt all his fatigue from the battle vanish from him. As he started to walk to Azazel and Lucifer's position, Ruby, Alistair, and Lilith all attempted to stop him. Dean threw them all away with one simple thought.

Azazel, who had just finished the incantation, turned towards Dean. "What are you?" He asked looking shocked.

"I am a soldier of the Lord," He answered calmly. The Altar began to emit a high pitched noise causing everyone, but Lucifer and Azazel, to cover their ears. Dean used his mind to throw Azazel from the Altar, but couldn't do the same to Lucifer.

"You're going to have to be stronger than that if you want to stop me," he said before knocking Dean down. He fired a full power wave at Dean, but he raised both hands and caught the blast. Lucifer's triumphant look vanished and was replaced by one of genuine surprise. Dean deflected Lucifer's jab and tossed him over into the bleachers. Dean jumped over to Lucifer's position. The sound from the Altar began to get increasingly louder.

"Azazel!" Lucifer shouted as he used his mind to toss him over to the Altar. Without Azazel the summoning couldn't be completed. Azazel landed on top of the Altar and vanished in the light.

"Dean, destroy the Altar!" Castiel shouted. Dean leapt towards the Altar and slammed his fist into part of the symbol. At the same time a beam of light shot out from the center and into the sky. Dean was too late. There was another flash and Dean turned to see that Lucifer had vanished along with Ruby, Alistair, and Lilith.

"What just happened Castiel?" Sam asked.

"Dean's interference caused the horsemen to be separated. Alone the can still be defeated, but once they combine their power with that of Lucifer's nothing on this Earth will be able to stop the apocalypse."

"Nothing is ever simple for us," Sam said sarcastically.

"Hey Sammy," Dean called out as he approached him. "It's good to have you back." Dean then put Sam into an enormous hug, which was a bit too much for Sam since Dean still possessed Divine powers.

"Sorry Sam," Dean apologized.

"Uhhhh," Joe weakly groaned.

"Oh no, Joe!" Dean shouted and ran to her side. She had lost a lot of blood from Ruby's knife attack. Dean placed his hand on her side and said, "Please, heal." Her wound vanished just like that.

"Dean, how are you doing all this?" Sam asked.

Dean looked towards Castiel and simply stated, "Let's just say I have friends in high places." After Dean made that comment he felt his power leave him. He was back to normal again.

"Dean, what happened to my mom?" Joe inquired while he helped her up to her feet.

"Um… I don't know how to say this to you Joe," Dean started, but that was all Joe needed to hear. She looked around the church and saw her mother's lifeless corpse. Joe ran to her mother and began to sob over her body.

"I knew I shouldn't have brought those two in the middle of all this," Dean mentally berated himself.

Several minutes later Ellen was given a hunter's funeral. Joe remained silent for most of the time.

"Lilith is going to pay for what she did to my mom," She said with anger dripping from every word. I'm in this with you guys all the way now. If I ever find any traces of the horseman I'll call you." Joe then turned and walked away from the others.

"Hey Sam and Bobby; can you guys go wait in the impala. I have something I want to discuss with Cas here.

"Sure, no problem," they answered.

"Ok what happened in there?" Dean asked Castiel.

"You swore your allegiance to God, remember. Where ever God is, the moment that you prayed was a sign of faith from you. I have absolutely no idea if that will ever happen again though Dean.

"Hey Dean are you ready? Bobby says someone might have a lead for us," Sam called from the Impala.

"Yeah, just give me one more minute. Hey Cas," but Castiel had already vanished. Dean jumped into the Impala and clicked on the radio. The song that came on was "Sympathy for the Devil."

A/N: I'm positive that 99.9% of the stuff in this story won't actually happen in the real Season 5 premiere of Supernatural. I'd say 100%, but I can't guarantee that. Hope you enjoyed this story anyway.
