The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Vol. 42 Heaven or Hell?

(no one's POV)

it was sunny out and there was a garden. a serene peace that Castiel always loved. he was in the Heaven of an autistic man. he looked out to the sky and felt a wind on his face as he heard a loud noise coming from behind him. it was a loud machine making that noise. he turned around to see a blue box mateiralize before him. he tilted his head while looking at the now solid box. he waited for something to happen until, Sheppard, Sky and Barlow all walked out of the Tardis.

"Castiel.." Sheppard said. "Equinox...Sheppard...Sky...Barlow." Cass said. he looked confused as he saw Barlow had changed into a red robe and pajamas. "so...you gonna tell me where i am?" i asked him. he had raised his hands. "this is one of the many Heavans..." Cas said. "hmm i love it." Sky said. "thank you sky..." Castiel said. "shall we." he motioned towards a mysterious door.

Sheppard Shrugged, "sure, why not?". they followed Castiel leaving the Tardis in the Garden.

after a cloud of smoke clears, Castiel is seen with Sheppard walking with him with Sky and Barlow following. they are in a foggy place. "so Cas, tell me... why are we doing this?" i asked him. "Why? it seems that there is a disturbance in Space and time." Cas started to say. "yeah i get that but why?" i asked him

. they continued to walk through the smoke. "i dont know. but i have something to show you." he said. they stopped. cass had looked at them all. they had formed around him. he had taken sky's left hand and placed it on barlow's forehead. then Cas had taken his 2 hands and placed his 2 fingers on the foreheads of Sheppard and Sky.

next thing that happens is they are in a dark room. Castiel, Sheppard, Sky, and Barlow are around a big metal object. "uh...Cas..." Sheppard says. "yes?" he asks. "not all of us can see in the dark." then the lights come on. Barlow and Sheppard are in complete shock. Castiel and Sky both look at them as they walk up to the big metal ring and hug it. "dude this is the Stargate!" Sheppard says.

"mine" barlow says. "do you know how to work it?" Castiel asks as Sky rolls on the floor laughing. "YES!" shouts Sheppard and Barlow. they both look at Cas. "wait Barlow... look at the symbols. those aren't from Earth, Atlantis or Destiny." Sheppard points to the symbols positioned in the ring. "yeah... lets see if it works." Barlow said. he walks around the Stargate and looks for something that is not there. "where's the DHD?" he asks Castiel.

"the What?" Cass responds. "cass do you recognize these symbols here?" Sheppard asks. "yes...these symbols are peices of portals that can be drawn with blood. the top left symbol is a piece that opens Purgatory." Cass says.

"can you turn the inner wheel?" Sheppard asks. Castiel then walks to the side of the wheel. Sheppard and Sky and Barlow stand next to each other in front of the Stargate. Cas then puts his hand on the gate and then the symbols started to lock in. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, then cas began to become tired. "i can't do it." Cas says nearly falling over.

"come on cas just one more symbol." Sheppard encoarges him. then the inner ring began to turn and a Star symbol goes to the top and locks in. the gate then activates sending out a big blast of the unstable event horizon towards Sheppard but thankfully Sheppard pushed Barlow and Sky away.

Sheppard disappeared and the portal had closed. Castiel was collasped on the gorund. Sky and barlow were on the ground and it just went dark. "Sheppard?" Sky calls out.


(Location: Unknown, Sheppard's POV)

oh great, did we leap again? i sure as hell hope not. i opened my eyes and... i was on the Tardis. but how? i was with Cas and Sky and Barlow too. i walked around the console. just looking at the switches. then the doors open and out comes the Doctor, with Donna Noble.

he had thrown his coat where he usaually puts it. he walkes over to the console and then pulls up the chain floor. he didnt even know i was there. "AH "C"" he says pulling out a treasure chest. "C for Cybermen" he takes out a disc like object. "C for Caryonights." he also takes out a snowglobe that screams as he shakes it. what was he looking for?

he then pulls out a book. "Cristie, agatha!" then everything stops. "what the hell?" i asked aloud. "indeed" i heard from behind me. i turned around and looked to see a blonde guy wearing a rosary, grey shirt, black pants, black t-shirt, and no shoes. "Balthazar?" i asked.

"yes...with some new stuff." he said. he had walked closer to the console. "nice place." he said aloud. "it's not mine" i said to him. "oh but it is..."he said with a devilish smile. "how did you come back?" i asked him. "i was brought back by God...the New God." he said. "Castiel" i said.

he pointed at me. "bingo" then i felt an extreme pain in my chest. it felt like my heart was being torn apart. "AAAHHH" i shouted. Balthazar looked at me tilting his head just like Cas. "oh yeah, you have a real monster in your soul." he said laughing. "i can take it out..." he said. i was still kneeled down with one hand on the console.

"f-for what?" i asked him very angrily. he had gotten down. "all for your help..." he said. i was confused. "take my soul" i said. he was shocked. "what? really? i am completely shocked- ok, stay still..." he said. he then had thrown his hand into my chest. and pulled out a black mass.

"im not taking your soul...but i am throwing this into Purgatory." he said. he then opened a portal just by looking at the Tardis walls. then a giant hole opened. he then kick-punted he black mass into the hole and then it closed. "come on now." he said.

"now just remember that if must need help, call Castiel..." he smiled and then left. "but wait how the Hell am i suppose to leave!" i shouted. i looked a frozen doctor and frozen donna. then a beeping came from the console. i walked over and pressed the button that the beeping was coming from.

then light had instensified to where it was so bright that i couldnt even see. i started to scream becasue of the immediate pain. then everything went black but this time i was alive. "whoa." i said while lying on the floor. "Sheppard?" Sky asked. "yeah?" i said. "that was weird. "great...the Gate doesn't work anymore." Barlow said disappointed. i had looked around and then saw no Castiel. "come on lets all get back to the TARDIS" i said.

i felt a burning sensation coming from my right arm. i had pulled up my sleeve to see a burning hand print. "oh boy..." i said.


(back at the Garden, no one's POV)

Sheppard, Barlow and SKy all walked up to the Tardis. "well that was weird." Sky said. "yeah it was..." Barlow agreed. "well lets thank god it's over." Sheppard concluded. Sheppard then had pushed the Tardis door open and one by one they all walked in, Sheppard being the last one. he then set one foot inside the Tardis and looked out to the garden. he saw Balthatzar.

"the doors are closing Sheppard. best get through" Balthazar said. Sheppard nodded. Balthazar then laughed as Sheppard shut the doors. the blue box then let out a loud noise. and the box disappeared along with Balthazar.


(in the Dark room with Heaven's Stargate.)

the room is quiet and dark. no light is on. the gate is settled and no angel, not even Castiel would want to set foot in this room. a noise breaks the silence. the gate starts to dial. 1 symbol, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th. the gate activates. the pool of blue liquid settles until something disturbs it. a blue dark shoots out of it like a bullet.

it then hits the wall and makes a portal. the gate then shuts off. someone runs through the blue portal. a girl. she is dressed in an orange jumpsuit and a grey t-shirt. she also had on a black fabric wrapped around her arm. it is soaked in blood. she shoots another Portal on the ceiling.

she pulls out a radio. she clicks it to speak. "Sheppard...i made it" she smiles.


now that Sheppard has the monster out of him, what will he do with himself and his friends? who was the strange girl who came out of the portal? how does she know Sheppard?
