Chapter 31

Susan's words started the battle.

Hunters outside started fighting. Some Hunters wore Industrial pump sprayers on their back. The Pumps carried two cylinders. One cylinder held Holy Water, the other held borax liquid. This was Ben's idea and it caught Demon and Leviathan alike off guard. As one hunter sprayed another hunter would take off the heads.

Castiel occasionally saw a flash of light while waiting for the smaller groups of hunters to come thru the doors around the warehouse. He knew the flashes meant a Hunter went down in battle, their body disappearing to the pyre at the bunker.

He watched as group after group entered the warehouse and engaged in battle.

"Brother it is time to join the party"

Castiel barely heard Lucifer, he was looking at Meg knowing he would never hold her again if all went well with Rowena's spell.

Castiel looked over to the entrance that Amara, Jack, and Rowena along with three other Hunters were to enter and they were already engaged in battle and doing well for themselves.

"BROTHER" Lucifer yelled

Castiel came back to himself and gave a small smile at Lucifer's eagerness to enter battle.

With a nod Castiel, Lucifer and Ben started forward. At first at a slow pace taking a swing at a leviathan or demon as they went. They picked up speed as they closed the distance between themselves and the two women in the center of the warehouse.

Meg Watched as the three men got closer speeding up with each step. She watched as he started to change. His wings came out first for all to see. The color going from the raven black she loved to the shade of grey she had never seen before. And then his temples greyed. But as he got closer it was his eyes that hypnotized her. They were the most beautiful, yet most war filled, hate filled eyes she had ever seen. She wondered, no, knew this was what Lucifer meant when he told her Castiel was changed.

Rowena was in the warehouse. She was circled by Amara, Jack and three other Hunters.

The Mark on Amara's upper chest began to glow as it took over taking out demon and leviathan alike.

Jack's eyes glowed gold as he battled back-to-back with Amara.

The three Hunters stuck to Rowena like glue as their only orders were to make sure she could cast her spell.

"Go help Amara and Jack" Rowena yelled over the din to the Hunters surrounding her.

"No" one of them responded

"We were told to protect you above all others so, cast your spell" one of the other Hunters said.

She expected this to happen and reached into her carpetbag pretending to pull out components to the spell. She found what she was looking for and poured some of the power in the palm of her hand. She blew it into the faces of the Hunters and spoke some Latin and then commanded that they join Amara and Jack in Battle. They did. She was pleased with herself as she turned and headed up the stairs that led to the roof.

As the two Avenging Angels and Ben got closer, Ben began running. The warehouse floor was as smooth as glass, so Ben used that to his advantage. Once he was close enough, he dropped to his knees and slid under the sword Susan was swinging to take off his head. As he slipped into the trap that held Meg his Demon killing blade scraped the outside of it and broke its holding spell. He Cut Megs binding as she was too weak to burn them off and half carried, half dragged her out a side door and into the raging battle outside. Once the Hunters saw it was Meg and Ben, they formed a gauntlet for the two to pass safely thru the fighting.

Castiel and Lucifer had engaged Susan in battle. She battled them parry per parry, a smile on her face the whole time.

"You fight well" Lucifer said as he lunged forward searching for an opening.

While Lucifer had her attention Castiel took the opening that presented itself and swiped his blade in an ark cutting the woman across the chest.

To a leviathan it was just a scratch, but it pissed Susan off and she pushed forward.

"You Fools, I was Dick's bodyguard. Did you think I couldn't fight two puny Angels"?

She proved her statement with a hit to Lucifer's bicep causing his Grace to seep out of the wound. It came out a mixture of red and white a testament to the battle of good and evil that always warred within him.

It was during this time that Castiel noticed some of Lucifers attention was on the lithe form of Rowena heading up the stairs to the roof.

"I told you that you were screwed" Castiel said while fighting

Lucifer just smiled. He knew he was screwed too. But, what a way to go he thought.

Castiel engaged Susan more to distract her. He yelled over his shoulder

"GO. Watch over her while she does what is needed."

"What about you Brother" Lucifer questioned.

"I will be fine" and as if to prove a point Castiel's blade caught Susan across the cheek.

"NOW GO" Castiel yelled.

And just like that Lucifer was gone leaving Castiel with a very pissed of leviathan.
