Over the past 4 months the group hunted down several demons and monsters while also searching for the First Blade and Gadreel. While they were dwindling down Abaddon's army they weren't getting that far in stopping Metatron and Gadreel. In the Fortress of Letters everyone was getting up for the day. "Damn it's been rough lately." Liz said. "It's all those cookies and orange soda." Sam teased. "Sam, do you want me to drop kick you?" Liz asked with fire in her eyes. "I was kidding." Sam said backing up "You better be." Liz said jumping up to smack him on the back of the head. "Damn you're tall." She muttered walking away. "Hey! We got movement of angels." Dean said rushing into the room. "Really? About damn time" Liz said. "Been a while." "Yeah I know. Seems there's been a lot of rustling around in California." Dean said. "More specifically in the area around Los Angeles. There have been battles in and around the city." Castiel explained further. "Something powerful must be there." Liz stated. "Has to be. Does it seem like the attacks are coordinated in any way?" Sam asked. "Yes seems like some are purely defending from witness reports while others are on the offensive." Dean replied. "Well let's get there and see what we can find." Liz said. "Hold on there. There may also be demons. There's just one case about some people walking around with black eyes but we still need to be prepared for them as well." Dean said. "Ok then." Liz said grabbing the keys to the Impala. "I'm driving." She said with a smile. "Not a chance." Dean said yanking the keys away from his little sister.

Entering the city of Los Angeles they immediately went to one of the locations where an attack had occurred and stumbled upon a great wreckage. "Son of a bitch. This is gruesome as hell." Dean said looking at all the desolation. Petrified bodies were all around the battlefield. "Ok so it seems like whoever was fighting here was extremely desperate." Sam said. "I mean it's like they had a great goal to achieve and wanted to get it at all cost." He continued. "Damn right" said a voice behind them all. Turning around they all saw Crowley walking into the scene. "What exactly happened?" he asked. "Angel battle." Dean said. "You find The First Blade yet?" Dean asked impatiently. "No I searched the seven seas and went down to the Marianas Trench, it wasn't there. Someone has it somewhere on Earth. I also have been dodging Abaddon's minions for the most part and had some minor scraps with them." Crowley explained. "Well hurry the hell up we don't have all year." Dean snipped. "I'm going as fast as I can. You can be a little grateful." Crowley said. "We're going to need to see the other crime scenes" Liz said. " After lunch that is." She said with a smile.

Going to a restaurant the five of them got a table towards the back and began to chat about what could the angels possibly be fighting over before the waitress came to take their orders. "Ok we know there are three factions of angels. We have Bartholomew's army, Malachi, and Metatron who most likely has Gadreel as his right hand man." Castiel started. " Malachi was a sneaky bastard and definitely would take a couple of weapons out of the vault. They could be the reason for the fighting and the other armies wanting them to increase their power. With them the war will get far more destructive than it already is." Castiel said sternly. " Let's not forget that demons are starting to get into the mix." Sam said. " Abaddon is taking advantage of the chaos and is trying to dwindle down the numbers on all sides." Crowley pointed out. "Well we better find out what's making them go crazy in Los Angeles and fast" Dean said. At that moment the waitress walked up and asked if they were ready. "Yes we are." Sam said. "We're all having grilled chicken salads with light dressing." He said. "Um excuse you?" Dean asked. "Yeah what he said." Liz said in a tense tone. "You guys eat terribly. Having salad in the middle of the day won't hurt. You can have whatever you want for dinner. For now do your bodies a favor." Sam replied. "Fine whatever." Liz said. "Ok then and what to drink?" the waitress asked. "Water all around." Sam said smiling. "Ok I'll put the order right in." she said taking the menus and going to the kitchen. "Water…really Sammy." Dean said glaring at his brother. "You're buying me 3 liters of orange soda later on." Liz shot. "Cool whatever." Sam scuffed. After a while they received their meal and ate. Afterwards they went to a hotel and checked in.

In Heaven Gadreel went to the conference room and started the meeting with Metatron's army. "Now may I have everyone's attention?" he asked bringing the room to silence. " Ok as you know we have been having a lot of attacks in California and the other armies are trying to overtake our territory." Gadreel said. We need to secure it more and get more recruits to join us. There are plenty of angels in Washington that seem to not be on anyone's side. Xavier you will go to sway them to our side." Gadreel ordered. "Yes sir. I will do so without fail." Xavier said. "Good. The rest of you will still do your shifts and rotations as well as go to training sessions to keep your skills up. Any questions?" Gadreel asked. "Yes. Is Metatron ok? We haven't seen him for months?" Lisa asked. "He's fine. No need to worry about him." Gadreel said. " Now if that's all. I'll see you all later." Gadreel said. Going to Metatron's office he saw the Archangel lying down on his sofa. "How are you doing?" Gadreel asked. "Doing better. The wounds I suffered are great. If it hadn't been for the Angel Tablet I'd be dead. It was inside me at the time and cracked when I got hit." Metatron said. "it's still repairing itself as I am doing the same. How's everything going?" he asked. "Strong and well. We do have some attacks we're handling in California." Gadreel explained. "Make sure that you do. Or all my effort will be for not." Metatron said.

In New York Bartholomew was ranting towards his staff via video chat. "How in the blood hell can you not find what is stored in that city! We need to get our hands on whatever Metatron has stored there so we can turn the tides of this battle. I don't care who gets in your way you let them feel pure and holy wrath. Now get back to work!" He yelled turning off the screens. "What do you think Metatron has there?" John asked. " I don't know but it is definitely important. He has his forces on pure defense and high alert in that area. I have word that he is recruiting on the side and his army is already strong. He's obviously using his having access to Heaven to gain their services so quickly." Bartholomew said angrily. "We need to strike fast and hard." He said causing the lights to explode and the ground to shake.

Chicago was in a state of chaos as Malachi was in a great fury. "I can't believe they failed. Ugh! How does Metatron keep staying one step ahead." He snarled. "Well he is an Archangel. The youngest of them but still an Archangel he has access to plenty of secrets of Heaven and is most likely using them to his advantage." Max explained. " Whatever he's doing is working all too well and I need to figure out what it is and end it as soon as I can." Malachi said raising his grace and causing a thunderstorm. "Sir maybe you should calm down. You're drawing attention to our location." Max said frightened. "Get me Bartholomew and Metatron. We're going to have a conversation." Malachi ordered. "I'll try sir." Max said.

Using a powerful spell the three angel armies had a meeting between the leaders through enchanted mirrors. "Where's Metatron?!" Malachi asked. "He's busy I'm speaking for him." Gadreel said. "You must be his enforcer I've heard about." Bartholomew said. "Who are you exactly?" he asked "I'm Gadreel his second in command." Gadreel answered. "You can't be serious. Metatron trust you after all you've done." Bartholomew said. "Yes he and I are going to rebuild Heaven and make it greater than ever. What is the meaning of this call?" Gadreel asked "I'd like to propose an offer we each get a corner of Heaven and three continents. It's an excellent offer we all get a piece of the pie." Malachi proposed. "Sounds good but I'm not for it." Bartholomew said. "Neither am I. We want all of Haven and Earth and there's nothing you can do about it." Gadreel said boldly. "We'll see about that." Malachi shot back. "Then I guess the war is still on." Gadreel said snapping his fingers and ending the spell.

Deep in the bowels of Hell Abaddon was informing her demons of a new plan. "Now I know some of you have been attacking angels in Los Angeles. Now I love go getters and whatnot but next time try and come up with a better plan. The Archangel Metatron is powerful and has his forces surrounding that place. I don't want him coming down here and wiping out my army. So from now on run your plans through me. What we're going to do now is put people in Los Angeles but burry yourselves deep inside your meatsuits, but be aware of your surroundings. Eventually a meatsuit can naturally get close to a location then you can call me and inform me about it and I will go there personally." Abaddon explained. " We will do our best your majesty." Leon said bowing before her. "Alright everyone time to get some new meatsuits." He ordered as all the demons vacated their host and went up above.

Doing research at the hotel they were finding purchase orders for new buildings and locations. "Seems like Metatron is buying up the place. In and around the city." Crowley said reading. "They all seem to surround Venice." Liz said. " Wait… Venice?" Castiel asked. "Yeah why? Does it mean something?" Liz asked watching Castiel stand up and walk around. "He must have something in the Green Room." Castiel stated. "The Green Room? You mean where Zach kept me when Sam ran away and joined Ruby? That room?" Dean asked. "Yes he must not want whatever it is to be discovered by others. The room is protected from all except those with access. Most likely just Metatron and Gadreel. If one of the other armies were to get access to Heaven they could potentially find whatever he's hiding, but in the Green Room it is protected. We must get access to it somehow." Castiel said. " How do you suppose we do that?" Sam asked. "If we get Gadreel we may be able to. Getting his blood and performing a spell I can open it. I have used The Green Room many times and know certain back doors just in case." Castiel explained. "Sounds like a plan." Crowley said. Soon there was a knock at the door and Dean jumped up with glee. Opening the door he greeted the pizza man. "One meat master, veggie master, pepperoni master, supreme master, and one pepperoni, chicken, and beef pizza." The man said. "Yep that's correct." Dean said paying him and taking the pizzas. "Thanks pal." Dean said with a grin. "Who the hell ordered a veggie pizza?" Crowley asked. "I did" Sam snapped. "You need to live a little Moose. " Crowley said. "You got that right. Hand over the mix pizza." Liz said. " Dibbs on the pepperoni " Castiel called. "Hey we all get slices of everything." Dean bellowed. Relaxing they all ate pizza and talked a bit on how exactly they would go about breaking into the Green Room.

The next morning they drove to Venice in a van they stole as the Impala would draw too much attention. Going to the warehouse where to room is located they saw a plethora of angels surrounding it. "Ok so is everyone ready?" Dean asked. "Yes" Castiel said. Getting out he cut his hand and drew the banishing sigil on the door and got back in. Dean then thrusted the van in to high gear and drove towards the building and got all the angels' attention. Castiel leaped out and placed his hand on the sigil and blasted all the angels away. "Let get inside." Castiel said. Rushing inside they opened the door to find a hoard of demons waiting inside. "Abaddon!" Dean yelled. "Hey there cutie long time no see. Heard the angels had something going on had my people lay low and have them place a sigil inside so we could teleport inside once the angels were gone." Abaddon explained. " Smart plan too bad you're going to fail." Liz said. "Oh really?" asked Abaddon. "Yes really" Crowley said disappearing with a snap. Suddenly Sam pulled out a demon bomb and before he could smash it on the ground Abaddon high tailed it out of the warehouse leaving her small army behind. The bomb went off and destroyed all the demons. "Nice one lil bro." Liz said with a smile. "Thanks. So where do you think Gadreel is?" he asked. "Right here." Gadreel said from behind them. "You actually think could get what belongs to Metatron?" he said walking towards them. Dean became incredibly angry and attacked him with an angel blade. Gadreel managed to block the attack and counter it with a punch. Suddenly Crowley returned and kicked Gadreel in the jaw. Liz drew her dagger and stabbed him in the leg. Pulling it out there was plenty of blood on the blade. " Cas now!" Dean yelled. Castiel had gone to a shelf and had drawn another banishing sigil and sent Gadreel away. "Here's your blood." Liz said handing the Hellsing Dagger to Castiel. Going to the small office inside the warehouse Castiel drew signs on the door and stated to speak the spell. After a while they managed to get the door open. Inside the room looked like before the last time they were inside. In the corner was a young man sleeping. Before they walked towards the man, the ground began to shake. "Shit they're coming back." Dean said. "I'll get whoever it is out." Crowley said rushing to the sleeping man and teleported out with him. "Get to the van!" Dean yelled. Rushing outside they got into the van and made a break for it. "Here start spray painting sigils on the widows and roof." Castiel said handing Liz and Sam cans. Spraying the paint and making sigils they were able to cover their escape.

Going to Metatron's office Gadreel prepared to tell him the bad news. "Hello sir. I'm sorry to tell you this but the Winchesters have your true vessel." Gadreel said. "What?!" Metatron said struggling to get up. "How could you let this happen?!" Metatron roared. "I'm sorry Metatron I will fix this." Gadreel said. " You better. Hopefully my healing takes one more month then I will make my move." Metatron declared.

Returning to the Fortress of Letters they all went to the main room and tried to call Crowley again. "Damn he's not picking up." Sam said. At that moment Dean got a phone call. "Hello…Crowley where the hell are you? We're back at the base. What do you mean you'll be here in a moment?" Dean asked. "I mean I'll be here in a moment." Crowley said holding the man over his shoulder. "How'd you get in this place is warded against evil?" Sam asked. "Guess that means I'm not evil anymore." Crowley said with a smile. Walking to a chair he put the man down. "Oh my god. It can't be." Sam said looking at the man. "Impossible." Castiel said. "Who is that?" Liz. "That's Adam." Dean said.
