"Okay we know that Lucifer and I will never be welcome in Asgard. Castiel is destined to go to hell. You little brother are to valuable to risk. That leaves Balthazar and Joshua." Michael said. "Joshua has already been and has met Thor so I would suggest sending them to Asgard."

"Joshua and Thor got along well and I have a feeling that Balth will get along with him even better, they have a lot in common." Gabriel agreed.

"I would suggest sending Luce with Castiel since he is very familiar with Hell it was his domain after all. The two of us will remain her to direct the forces and plan out movements." Michael finished up.

"There's only one problem with that, Benny." Gabriel said.

"I will go to your Alpha vampire then. As I said keep trying to get through your think head, you are the Commander of the Host now, your job is to command, let the soldiers fight." Michael said.

"Michael I have never asked the Seraphs under my command to do anything that I would not do myself." Gabriel said. "If I am going to ask them to risk their lives then I should also be willing to risk mine."

Michael shook his head and went to a window that looked out over the training grounds where the Seraphs were drilling in hand to hand combat. "Gabe, come here." When Gabriel joined him, Michael threw his arm around the younger angel's shoulders.

"It was your trademark to be reckless little brother. Word of your battlefield antics always made it back to me. No matter what, you were determined to be right there in the thick of things. You could do that then, because had you been vanquished in battle the command structure would remain intact. You no longer have that luxury."

"Michael."

"Balthazar was a part of your regiment, He learned from you. He has done most of the training for the Seraphs. Any angel on that field would give their life for you." Michael turned and pinned Gabriel with a glance. "What do you think will happen when they are more concerned at protecting their commander than fighting the battle that lies in front of them? You have asked me to advise you so take my advice.

Your job now is to lead your troops. Plan their battles. Take care of morale and keep their spirits up."

"So basically we have to go to hell?" Connor asked.

"We know quite a few people who would be happy to know we're finally going to take their advice." Murphy joked.

"We've both been told to go to hell a few times." Connor said as everyone gave them a strange look.

"How can you joke about this?" Kevin asked.

"Crying about it won't help and it won't change anything so as our Ma always told us, make the best of it." Murphy said.

"The problem is that we have to get past Lilith and Azazel." Sam said.

"Don't forget your girlfriend from Hell Sammy boy. I'm here and Lilith summoned Azazel. You don't think she managed to forget to summon the final member of the Fantastic Four do you?" Meg said. "Ruby is out there somewhere."

Connor and Murphy looked at Sam who snarled. "If she is then she'd better stay as far away from me as she can because I owe her."

"So like we were saying." Darius sighed. "Connor Murphy you have to reach the cage to kill the king of hell. Sam and Dean also have to go. They have to complete the ritual. With Crowley's death the Cage will be sealed and it will seal all of the other gates."

Kevin held out a sheet of paper. "This is the incantation. Whatever weapons you plan to take have to be blessed by the commander of the Host."

"Gabriel has to bless all of our weapons? Why?" Dean asked "Knowing him we'll end shooting Skittles at demons."

"Your weapons must be infused with his grace." Darius explained. "It's not the first time it happened. Michael was the one who handed David the stone he used on Goliath. That stone was charged with Michael's grace."

"Okay so we'll be shooting Grace flavored Skittles." Dean grumbled.

Balthazar looked around at the streets of Asgard. "I love the international flair, is it Carnival time?" The Egyptian goddess Hathor walked by drawing his attention. "I think Gabriel was onto something here running off to join the pagans. "They do dress much better than most of us."

"Balth Will you stop worrying about fashion. I still haven forgiven you for this T-shirt Day idea." Joshua said.

"Why Josh? That 'I like to do it in the dirt' T-shirt is perfectly you." Balth said as he was wearing the words 'Angelic Fashionista' On his. "We need to relax before the big fight. Besides Gabriel did send one for Thor." Balthazar held up the shirt that read 'You should see the size of my hammer'.

"You spent entirely too much time with Gabriel." Joshua shook his head and turned to look back at the group of 50 angel's following along behind them. Each on the the seraphs was wearing a T-shirt bearing a sketch of a penis framed by a pair of wings underneath the image, the words 'Feathered dick and proud of it'.

Freya was waiting on the steps to Odin's Hall with a smile on her face. "Johsua, Balthazar; welcome." She regarded the two for a moment and then the group of angels behind them. "Did Gabriel pick out your clothes today? You all look like Loki dressed you."

"I'm sad to say he had a bit of help from Balthazar." Joshua said as Freya hugged him. "It's a pleasure to be in your company."

"Hello Luv, as beautiful as ever!" Balthazar said kissing her cheek. "If I didn't know that Gabriel would snap me into a Herpexia commercial, I'd kiss more than your cheek!"

"You don't need to worry about Gabriel." Freya teased. "Thor would smack you in the head with his Hammer first!"

Freya led the two into the room to the high board and directed the other angel's to find seats where ever they could. Thor stood up and extended his hand to Joshua. "Joshua welcome back! As I said you always have a place at my table." Thor turned to Balthazar. "And who is this?"

"This is Balthazar." Freya said.

Thor's face lit up. "Balthazar, eh? I have been looking forward to meeting you. Come sit down and have a horn of mead. Let's share our most embarrassing stories. You tell me all about Gabriel and I will tell you all about Loki."

Balthazar laughed. "I'm always happy to find more dirt to blackmail him with! And I'll tell you about the time he got thrown out of the Spearmint Rhino!"

Everyone in the church was busy gathering the items that they would need for the ritual to close the pit when Castiel, Lucifer and Gabriel popped in on them.

"Didn't you guys get the memo?" Gabriel smirked. "Today is officially T-shirt day!"

The group turned and looked at the angels who had joined them. Lucifer was sporting a t-shirt with the logo 'Devilishly good', Castiel's t-shirt had an obviously confused man's picture and the phrase 'I don't understand that reference' while Gabriel wShirt said 'Honk if you love chocolate'. Gabriel looked around with a considering hmmm and then snapped his fingers.

The twins wear now wearing matching navy blue t-shirts with fingers pointing at the other twin that said 'I'm with stupid'. Sam looked down to see he was wearing a Herpexia logo. Darius was outfitted with a t-shirt the said 'Castiel's biggest fan'. Kevin's Shirt read 'Who needs the Rosetta stone when you have a prophet'. Meg was sporting the words 'Evil?-Fail!'. Dean shirt read 'Surgeon General's warning'.

"Gabe how come we all get embarrassed and he gets that." Sam asked.

"Oh you have to read the back Sammy." Gabriel smirked.

Sam walked behind Dean so he could read the back of the shirt out loud to the group "Getting hit by cars causes loss of bladder control."

"Son of a bitch! That's not funny." Dean said.

"Of course it is Deano. And I have decided that we are going to enjoy every moment we have until we have to be serious. Sooo" Gabriel snapped his fingers and a full buffet appeared in the kitchen, the living room was transformed into a dance floor complete with DJ and a large group of women. A small bar stood in the corner. "Have fun!"

Dean looked around "You're a feathered dick but, I still like your style!"
