Alright, last chapter. Enjoy.
Chapter 4
It was started. Lucifer had raised the Four Horsemen, Death, Pestilence, War, and Famine. They were all located in different places across the world, causing their own brand of chaos.
Death was in Europe, causing massive storms and flooding. His storms were killing people by the thousands.
Pestilence was in North America, infecting the entire population of Canada with the Croatoan virus. This disease was infecting quickly and killing within 24 hours.
War was in South America. The entire continent was now armed and ready to kill whoever came across their path. Murders were happening by the hundreds.
Famine was in Australia. The population was going insane over their deepest carnal desires. Alcohol, sex and drugs were causing more deaths in an hour than they normally would in a week.
Lucifer was content. Everything was going according to plan. He just knew nothing would mess this up. The earth would soon be cleansed of the scourge of humanity. He was too confident.
Dean was running for his life. The chaos around the world was causing everyone to panic. Even the part of humanity not affected by the horsemen were freaking out. People were looting and getting into fights. Lucifer's plan was working perfectly.
Even the demons were starting to flip. There were three chasing Dean at that moment. They were older than Dean, faster. He knew that when they caught him, he was a goner. They started gaining on him, and when he looked back to see how much space was left, he tripped.
The demons converged on him and he saw a glint of silver. Another demon blade. This was not good. The demon blade was raised high above his head. The demon holding it pulled her arms down, intent on plunging the blade right into Dean's heart.
Suddenly, all three demons were gone in a flash of white light. Castiel stood above him, his hand extended down to help Dean up. "Cas? I thought.. You have your powers back?"
"Yes. When the demons were chasing you with the intent to kill, you were in danger. That broke my deal with Lucifer, so I was granted my powers back. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to stop an apocalypse." Cas turned to leave, but Dean grabbed his arm.
"Please let me help. I never wanted this to happen. At least let me help and then you never have to see me again, if that's what you want.
"Fine. I need the rings from the Horsemen. That's the only way I can stop Lucifer. War and Pestilence aren't far from here. You gather their rings and I will take care of Death and Famine." The boys both disappeared in an instant, going to do their parts in stopping Lucifer.
Dean had an easy time of it. War went down with a snapped neck, Dean pulling his ring from his still warm fingers. Pestilence was a little harder. Dean had to go through a few of his bodyguards, but once they were out of his way, Dean cut off the hand with the ring and was on his way.
Castiel, however, was having a few problems. Death had been easy enough. The horseman was eager to be rid of Lucifer and handed over his ring willingly. The problems started when he went after the final horseman. Famine was affecting him, and all he could think about was finding the nearest burger joint and eating all of the burgers in stock. Luckily, when Dean showed up looking for him, the green eyed demon was unaffected and easily took Famine out.
"Thank you, Dean. I was unaware that Famine would be able to affect me like that. Now that we have all four rings, I can take care of Lucifer once and for all."
Dean gave the rings to Cas and they both went to find Lucifer. He was in Detroit. Sure that nothing could stop him, Lucifer had no security. Cas was easily able to sneak up behind him and capture him in a ring of Holy fire.
"What is this? You aren't supposed to have any powers!" Lucifer was livid that his plan was crumbling.
Castiel pulled the rings out of his pocket, showing them to the archangel. "Your demons put Dean in danger. Since that broke our deal, I have my powers again. And now that I have these," he gestured to the rings, "I'm going to stop you. For good."
Cas placed the rings next to each other and they formed together, Death's ring in the middle with the other three attached by the stones. He threw the rings to the ground and started chanting something in a language that Dean didn't understand. A deep hole opened up in the floor underneath Lucifer, and he fell, screaming. The hole closed up and the rings separated.
"Where did you send him?" Dean asked in a small voice.
Cas turned and gathered Dean in his arms. "I sent him to his cage. He was once locked in there long ago but, somehow he was set free. I will have to keep a watch on him, but he should never be able to escape again."
Dean clung to Cas tightly, glad it was all over. "What now?"
"Now you go find your brother and I go find mine. After that, well, we have an eternity to figure it out." Cas placed a hand on Dean's cheek and kissed the green eyed demon, silently promising him forever.
