Chapter 10: Lucifer and Michael are back!

"Billy?! What the hell are you doing here?" Dean jumped from his spot on the couch, rushing over to Billy and Bobby, "and why did you bring Bobby?"

"Nice to see you too, idjit," Bobby huffed but gave Dean a fatherly pat on the back.

"What's going on?" Sam scrambled up to them, but his eyes never left Billy's worried face.

Billy looked at the scouts and then the boys before she spoke, "all the worlds are ending."

The gasp was audible throughout the room before silence fell.

"This is Eve's doing," Sere confirmed, biting her lower lip.

"And Pluto's," Billy added.

"My fault?" Pluto objected.

"Yes, your fault, miss high and mighty," Billy waltzed up to Pluto, her eyes narrowed, her hands clenched into fists at her side, "if you didn't use your powers in the cave, the worlds wouldn't be ending right now!"

"The cave?" Mina joined in, "I don't understand?"

Billy sighed, her eyes never leaving Pluto's as she spoke to the whole room, "Eve made sure that cave absorbed magical energy, and with the blood she collected, she was going to open the portal…"

Billy's words trailed off for a minute; her voice lowered as she forced out her next line, "she didn't have enough power to open the portal until Pluto used her powers to teleport you all here. With all that built up energy, it gave Eve the power she needed to crack a hole in all the worlds."

"I was saving the princess," Pluto seethed, letting go of her power and turning back into her alter-ego Setsuna.

The girls followed suit and turned back into their civilian forms.

"We didn't know; it's not Pluto's fault," Sere came to Setsuna's defence, "we had to save Rini."

Billy's eyes turned away from Setsuna's and spotted the pink hair child, cradled in Darien's arms.

"Her aura is weak," Billy's voice calmed.

"I know," Sere confirmed, "Darien's power is keeping her alive."

The girls stared at Sere and then at Darien.

"How do you know?" Rei sputtered.

"I can see the transfer of auras surrounding them," Sere explained. "I have different powers from your princess."

Darien nodded before shuffling off into the bedroom and lying down with Rini. He brushed a couple of pink strands from her hair. Tears welled up in his eyes; Darien did not want to lose his daughter. He loved her.

"Don't leave us now, Rini. We are just getting to know you?" His voice came out muffled as tears choked his throat.

The tip of his finger caressed her porcelain skin, thinking about all the fun they used to have, "remember playing in the rain? I will give you a thousand roses if you'd just open your eyes."

He could not contain the tears any longer as they fell onto Rini's cheeks and shirt. He sniffed twice and cradled Rini in a hug, "come back to me."

"We will save her," Serena's small voice entered Darien's ears.

His head shot up, looking at his future wife. Serena's eyes flooded with tears, her cheeks are puffy and red. She opened her arms and raced to the bed and enveloping them in a huge hug.

Serena's crystal pulsed as it touched Rini's cheek, and Serena's energy combined with Darien's allowed Rini to open her eyes.

"Rini!" her parents yelled.

"Mommy, daddy," She whimpered, "I couldn't save her."

"Save who, sweetie?" Serena cooed.

Rini's face scrounged up in pain, her eyes closing for a second, before reopening.

"The mean lady turned my friend into a monster. She stole my brooch and gave it to Hotaru," Rini panted, "the pain, it hurts!"

Rini cried out as pain jolted throughout her body. She started to convulse uncontrollably. Serena shouted for the others, but by the time they raced into the room, Rini was out cold.

"Rini woke up for a minute," Serena cried, staring down at Rini, wishing she would awake again.

"What did she say?" Sere wanted to run to the child and embrace her, but she was rooted to the spot. Something told her not to touch Rini.

"She said Eve turned a girl named Hotaru into a monster, and they have her brooch."

"This is not good," Billy shook her head, "as of now, time no longer exists nor do the barriers between the worlds. If we don't stop her now, the past, present and future will become one, and all the dimensions will collide, destroying all the worlds in one big explosion."

"We have to find Eve," Dean smashed his fist into the door in frustration. "Where is God when we need him? He could fix this with a snap of his fingers."

"God's out to lunch. You guys have to take care of this yourselves," Billy warned. "And I am forbidden to help."

"Why?" Ami questioned, folding her arms across her chest.

"God's orders. I'm only here as a messenger and to bring Bobby." Billy didn't even say goodbye as she disappeared from the room.

"Great!" Dean cursed.

"We have to come up with a plan," Rei interjected.

"First, we have to find Eve," Sam retorted.

"Everyone shut up!" Sere shouted, feeling worried eyes on her. "Let's leave Serena and Darien alone with their daughter."

"I can help," Serena offered, but she didn't move from the bed.

"No," Sere shook her head, "you stay here and make sure Rini stays safe. I will take care of this. It's my fault that Eve is here. I will deal with her."

Sere ushered the group out of the room and forced them to sit in the living room.

Lita, Dean, Bobby and Sam took the couch, and Mina, Rei, Ami and Setsuna sat on the floor next to the sofa, all eyes on Sere as she paced back and forth in front of them.

"I have a weak plan, but it's all we got right now unless someone has something better?" Sere eyed the group.

No one spoke.

"Okay, I want Rei, Lita, Ami and Mina to go to the control center and find Eve. When you locate her, call us, and Pluto… what's your real name Pluto?"

"Setsuna," Pluto introduced herself.

"Okay, Setsuna, Bobby, Darien, Sam and I will scout the city, and if we see anything, we will call it in."

"How?" Dean asked.

Sere held up her index finger, before turning her back on the group. She pushed a button on her wristwatch and called Luna.

"Luna, do you have any more communicators?" Sere asked.

"What's going on, Sere?" Luna's high-pitched voice shook with fear.

"No time to explain. Do you have what I need?" Sere grounded her teeth when she had to ask again.

"Yes, why?" Luna responded.

"Give them to Dean, Bobby and Sam; we are going hunting," Sere ordered.

Darkness plagued the sky as Sam wandered the streets. No streetlights to guide his way.

"Why did we have to split up?" Sam moaned to himself, pointing his flashlight into the darkness, lighting it up.

The streets were barren as the government had warned their citizen to stay at home due to a power outage.

Sam hated to admit that Serena was right. They had to find Eve and destroy her.

Thoughts of Serena being evil, plagued his mind, "what if Eve was lying to me?" Sam questioned himself.

He kicked a rock, and it flew, before making a big thump and rolled until it hit a pair of pink sneakers.

"Who goes there?" Sam pointed his flashlight at the person.

"It's me."

Serena's long blonde hair flowing down her back, her blue eyes caught the light, and for a moment, Sam thought they flashed red.

"What are you doing here, Serena?" Sam asked as he stepped towards her.

"I was worried about you," Serena pouted, "all alone on the street. I was afraid something would happen to you, Sammy."

"I'm fine," Sam huffed and strolled past Serena.

Serena turned and raced to catch up, syncing their steps.

"Are you mad at me," Serena asked, twirling her hair around her index finger.

"No," Sam grunted.

"Then why are you avoiding me. I can help you find Eve and destroy her. That is what you want, isn't it?" Serena giggled.

"I'm not sure what you're getting at," Sam stopped and faced Serena when it finally clicked. Serena would never call him Sammy. "Who are you?"

"Sammy, it's me, your lovely Serena," Serena giggled again, grabbing onto Sam's arm and smothering her face into his sleeve, "I can take away all your problems, Sammy."

Sam backed away, pushing Serena off him, "you're not Serena, who the hell are you!?" Sam took out his gun and pointed it at the fake Serena.

"I guess I can't hide from you. You know me all to well to play that game," Serena's voice took on a masculine note.

"Who…"

"Lucifer," she cut him off, finally answering his question.

"But how? You're locked up!" Sam stuttered, backing up slowly.

Lucifer laughed, snapping his finger, freezing Sam to the spot.

"This magical rift appeared in my cage, allowing me to escape," Lucifer smiled, showing her pearly whites. "And then I come to find out all the worlds are colliding. Man, was I surprised. I want to rule the world, not destroy it. So, I came here to help you."

"And why should I believe you?" Sam clenched his jaw as he spoke.

"You don't, but if you want all your friends to live, say yes to me, and I will help you kill Eve," Lucifer offered.

"No way," Sam choked out, "I won't say yes."

"Then the worlds will collide and explode, and it will be your fault, Sammy," Lucifer chided with a chuckle, "are you ready for that?"

Sam closed his eyes, refusing to look at the devil, knowing Lucifer's words held truth.

"Will you give me my body back once Eve's dead?" Sam groaned, defeated.

"Scouts honour." Lucifer held up three fingers on his right hand, while his left hand hidden behind his back, and his index and middle fingers crossed in an X.

"Fine," Sam gave in.

"No, not fine, you have to say the magic words," Lucifer smiled proudly.

"Yes, Lucifer. I will allow you to use my body to destroy Eve," Sam cursed to himself as he said those words.

"Good boy," Lucifer chuckled as the body of Serena turned into mist and surrounded Sam. An invisible hand forced Sam's mouth open, as the mist dived down into his throat and beyond, filling out his body.

Lucifer stretched his new body, getting comfy in his new skin, "young and supple. And to think I was waiting until he was older," he laughed again.

Lucifer started up a simple whistling tune as he continued down the street, flashlight in hand, thinking of ways to get his pet back.

Dean took the upper east side; he parted ways from Serena an hour ago. Tears stung his eyes, but he refused to shed them. Poor Rini, her powers taken from her, and now she's dying, and it's all his fault.

"Maybe I should have left Serena and Sammy in purgatory," Dean muttered to himself, but he shook his head, he would have done anything for his brother, even if it cost them their lives.

He held the flashlight up to mark his way, but his vision clouded by mist, and in his right ear, he could hear a voice.

"Do you want to save the worlds?" it asked.

"Yes!" Dean shouted to the mist.

"I can help you, Dean Winchester. All you have to do is say yessss," the voice hissed.

"Who are you?" Dean gulped, backing up a step, but the mist followed him.

"Michael, an angel of the lord," the mist groaned out.

"A real angel?" Dean questioned. He shook his head, he never believed in angels before, and Dean wasn't sure he believed in them now, "Can you help me save the worlds?"

"Yessss," the mist answered, "say yes, and we will destroy Eve together."

Dean nodded, "Fine, I'll say yes, and you will help me kill Eve and take me and Sammy home."

"It's a deal."

"Yes, Michael, use my body until this is all over," Dean's heart crumbled as he spoke those words, but he had no choice; he had to save Sammy and Serena.

The mist attacked Dean's body, seeping into every hole it could find. Dean screamed as the mist sought entrance through his eyes, nose, and mouth. Finally, Michael had taken over.

"Now, let's find Eve," Michael said confidently, his eyes turning a stunning blue.
