Episode 11 - The Terror Trap
Location:
The Time Vortex
The TARDIS was travelling in The Space-Time Vortex as it swirls gracefully like a ship that was sailing the seas as it was push through the winds of the ancient time winds.
"Alright everyone, what's are next current destination as for today?"
The man of many faces throughout the Meta-Millennia that was known as The Doctor had just asked his students/companions regarding on their next destination of their choosing as he was busy working in the console while flipping the switches and levers.
This trip was in part due to Touma Kamijou needing a break from his duties in Judgment and what better way to have a break than to go on adventures and misadventures in everyone's favorite police box.
The companions all looked at each other with curious expressions as they begin debating among themselves on what should be their next current destination of their choosing.
"Well guys, what do you think? Because I can't think of anything if I were to be completely honest." Conan said in a curious and anticipatory manner.
"Well..." Kamijou said slowly while continuing. "I'm also not really sure either considering that there's a lot to choose from in the multiverse."
"We could just visit Spongebob again." Sota suggested to his fellow companions.
"Ugh." Kyon facepalms while adding in an exasperated tone as he turns towards his best friend in an exasperated face. "Sota-san. Did you remember what happened the last time we visited Spongebob? We were just heading down towards The Krusty Crab so that we could order a couple of Krabby Pattys for lunch when we suddenly got caught up in Plankton's so called 'evil' genius plan to steal The Krabby Patty Secret Formula for the nth time with an army of giant robots that he invented on the fly as his minions. I swear, that little idiotic midget never seems to just give up with his stupid plans. That stupid plan that we got drawn into almost blew up the entire city of The Bikini Bottom down to the ocean floor."
"Hehehehe." Lelouch laugh in good humor as he remembered that incident. "That incident never ceases to amused me in the slightest bit due to the sheer tactical error that Plankton always keeps making in his plans to capture the secret formula and yet he still calls himself an evil genius in spite of it."
"Oh! Laugh it up, Lelouch!" Kyon said in a tone of annoyance. "You weren't the one who almost got caught up in a TNT explosion."
"No, I wasn't, considering that I was with The Doctor in the sidelines as we were trying to disarm the TNT bombs that Plankton had made and planted throughout the city." Lelouch said in dry humor.
"Well, look at the bright side, Kyon-san." Kamijou said in a tone of reassurance. "At the very least, by the end of it all, this incident ended up with Plankton getting sentenced by The Bikini Bottom Court House to a few months of community service and was forced to work for Mr. Krabs at The Krusty Krab in order to pay for the damages that he had made throughout the city. That seems like a good punishment enough in my opinion and justice has been officially served."
"I still think that I should have just squash that idiotic pipsqueak for almost getting all of us killed because of his stupid rivalry with that greedy crab and end everyone's misery." Kyon said in continued annoyance.
"Now, now, Kyon-san." Sota made a gesture of his hands up in the air as he tried to calm his old friend down.
As the companions were having this conversation regarding A Certain Incident, all of a sudden, a ringtone was heard in The Doctor's IDST (IDST) Cellphone in one of his bigger on the inside pockets.
The companions begin to notice immediately as they became silent while they stared towards The Doctor, who notices immediately and went for his pocket in order to get his cellphone as he checked the view screen for the name of the caller.
Castiel.
"Castiel!" The Doctor said in a tone that denotes surprise as his ancient eyes begin to widen.
The Companions begin to widen their eyes as well due to the familiar name that was just uttered.
The Doctor's old friend, fellow team member of The Multiverse League of Extraordinary Gentleman and Ladies, and fellow war veteran from The Last Great Time War had just called him.
That made The Doctor both excited and concerned.
Excited because it has been a while since he last saw his old friend.
Concerned because he knew that Castiel would only sometimes call him if the situation that he was in was very serious and demanded his full attention.
He answered the call immediately as he pushed for the confirm key.
"Castiel! What made you call?!"
"Doctor. Can you come over to this location that I have just transmitted from your phone?"
The Doctor begins to take note of the familiar serious tone in his old friend's voice as he begins to put his phone on speaker mode in order for his companions to hear the conversation.
"Yes, of course, old friend, but what seems to be problem?"
"It would appear that both of our expertise seems to be required in this situation that I, Sam, and Dean have gotten into our hands on as of late."
"What, another case? Surely you lot can handle it just fine all on your own? What's so special about this one?"
There was complete silence for a few moments before Castiel responds in a subtle serious tone.
"Your going to have to come here for yourself if you want to find out, old friend."
The Doctor begins to ponder at the subtle tone that was in his old friend's voice.
Almost as if it were an ominous warning.
"Alright, I'm on way now, old friend, but just so you know, I'm with Touma, Shinichi, Kyon, Sota, and Lelouch at the moment. Their listening to this very conversation right at this very instant since I put the cellphone on speaker mode. You wouldn't mind if they tag a long, would you?"
"No, Doctor. If anything, I, Sam, and Dean would be more than happy to see them."
"Alright, call you later, old friend."
The Doctor begins to hang up the call as he turns towards his companions with a serious expression.
"Well, gentleman, it would appear that our holiday trip is about to be cut short for the moment since we're about to visit the universe of The Winchesters."
The companions all made happy and concerned expressions that was on their faces.
Happy because they would see their old friends again since they haven't seen them in a while.
Concerned because they knew that when it comes to The Winchesters, things are never as it seems as they all begin to wonder on what case of the supernatural are they going to get this time.
The Doctor begins to work on the console as he presses the switches and levers. He punches the coordinates that were to be set towards their next current destination, with The TARDIS becoming faster as it swirls through The Space-Time Vortex, as it heads for their next current destination.
The Prime Universe of The Supernatural Verse.

Multiverse Cluster: Supernatural Verse
Universe: Prime Universe
Date and Time: February, X, 2021
In the darkness of the night, at the middle of the mountain view, in an unknown location in a land that was known as The United States of America, there stood the presence of three unknown men that went through so much together over the many years of their long life, one of them especially, in the surrounding forest that was covered in darkness as the full moon and the stars shines brightly at the night sky.
The first man wears a plaid red shirt, a black leather coat that once belonged to his father, gray jeans, and brown boots as his footwear. He has green eyes, light freckles on his face and short-cropped Ivy-league hair that is dark blonde. He is 6'1 in average height and is rather muscular. He is noted to be "handsome" or even "pretty" by other people that were around him constantly.
This is Dean Winchester.
A Hunter.
A Man of Letters.
The second man wears a plaid blue shirt, with a blue jacket, blue jeans. He has shaggy long and smoother brown hair and a beard that he had grew in that denotes the many years of his life as an experienced hunter of the supernatural and no longer the same young man that he used to be. His eye color appears to be brown and is noted by other people to be handsome. He is very tall, 6'5" (195.58 cm) as well as having a muscular build with broad shoulders and a muscular chest. This is especially ironic to many considering that he used to be teased for being short and wiry as a teenager.
This is Sam Winchester.
A Hunter.
A Man of Letters.
The third man can be described as a handsome man of average height in his age of thirties. He sports a pair of dress shoes, a black suit, a buttoned white-striped dress shirt, and loosened blue necktie accentuated by a beige trench coat.
This is Castiel.
Archangel of The Lord.
A Hunter.
A Member of The Multiverse League of Extraordinary Gentleman and Ladies.
Together, these three make up a team of the best hunters in their universe and several others connected to their multiversal cluster.
Team Free Will.
Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester, and Castiel were so far out into the middle of friggin' nowhere, to Dean's personal opinion, that made Dean himself almost wished that they were just back at The Men of Letters Bunker with Lisa and Ben and not have to be doing this job.
Still, it seems that the case wasn't a waste of time as they all noted, the house, or mansion in this case, that was standing at their front view seemed nice and ordinary enough at first appearance glance despite being abandoned for god knows how long. Had to be careful where you stepped in though. It wasn't part of the official ghost story that they had heard while they were searching for cases as part of their jobs as consultants at The SCP Foundation. The official story and the official intel that was given to them by Dr. Jack Bright had said that the ghost in question was supposed to haunt the pass through the mountains, and that was still a good thirty minute hike up that trail. But the trail was too narrow for The Impala, and the mansion was right there with no one inside, so they figured at first, why not sleep inside? It was freezing cold, so it'd be nice not to sleep in The Impala—this time.
But that was when Castiel had warned them suddenly that they shouldn't enter the mansion as he felt that something was very extremely off in his angelic senses as he sensed a malevolent presence that he was far too familiar with for his own bitter tastes. It was because of this that Castiel had decided to call his old friend, fellow war veteran, and comrade, The Time Lord known as The Doctor, due to the fact that he is needed for this particular malevolent presence that already denotes the gravity of the situation.
After all of these long years, Dean became more of a believer and less of a skeptic over time. One had to be when your friends with a time travelling alien from another universe.
He once believe that angels didn't exist. Look where that got him and Sam.
They stopped The Apocalypse but that didn't mean that the hunting business was over and done with despite the one year semi-retirement that he had made with Lisa and Ben.
A lot of things have happened over the years since then where he dealt with all kinds of strange.
Runs in the family, he thought to himself.
Luckily enough for him and Sam (who was pulled out of Lucifer's Cage with his soul intact by The Doctor), they had Castiel, The Doctor, and their allies throughout The Known and Unknown Multiverse as back-up should the need arises.
The Doctor recommended him and Sam as consultants to The SCP Foundation which was an organization that was dedicated to the protection of humanity and to all forms of sentient and non-sentient life as well as for the containment of dangerous anomalous objects that were deemed too hazardous to both the higher and younger species in accordance with the rules that was laid down by The Temporal Powers Alliance (TPA), who were in Dean's comparable opinion, to The United Nations, only instead of humans, it was alien god races as the members, to which made Dean respond with the word that he would use sometimes to denote the gravity of the topic in question.
Awesome.
They have been their best agents in and out of the field ever since and they are very damn well good at their job as many of the personnel in The Foundation can attest to in affirmation which was why they were sent to this unknown location to deal with this anomaly that was in their universe.
Dean, Sam, and Castiel where just standing outside of the mansion that was before them in a few meters from their position as they waited for the anticipated company to arrive.
The Winchester Brothers were ecstatic that The Doctor wasn't the only one who would be visiting at this point in time since his companions from 5 different universes that they were all too familiar with and well acquainted with would be coming in for a visit as well since they were there in The TARDIS when Castiel called The Doctor.
They had to admit that after all of these years of seeing them in action, those 5 teenagers, one of them shrunk down to the size of a kid due to a criminal organization, would make great hunters in the not too distant future despite the fact that they never seemed to have an interest in that line of work. A huge shame, the brothers had to admit.
Shinichi Kudo, or as he was known in shrunken form, Conan Edogawa, is The Resident Bookworm and The Code Breaker of The Companions. He was also a high school detective and a consultant of The Japanese Police Department, which made The Winchester Brothers all the more impressed at his accomplishments for someone being so young, who's knowledge and skill on the field of hunting proves his work as he applied his learned knowledge to his skill and managed to save their bacon a few times with a few close calls with minimum to no casualties.
Kyon, which is an abbreviation of his actual name, is The Negotiator and The Voice of Reason of The Companions. He was the guardian of a high school girl by the name of Haruhi Suzumiya, who with her god-like power, could warp reality unconsciously just as if it were clay that could be molded easily, which raises an alarm on The Winchester Brothers as they begin to take notes on avoiding her whenever they would have the intention to stop by his universe if they ever had the free time on their hands for it or if it was just business as usual as a form of precaution that was laid down among them and the rest of The Foundation personnel.
Lelouch Lamperouge, or as he was known secretly as Lelouch vi Britannia, is The Master Strategist of The Companions and is an exiled prince of a fascist empire that was known as The Holy Britannian Empire, for he was from an alternate world where The United States of America never came to be as George Washington never succeeds in The American Revolutionary War and the nation of Britannia took its place in the world as the dominant superpower. That made The Winchesters completely shocked when they heard about it the first time seeing as The American Revolutionary War that laid the foundation for their government never came to be in the universe that Lelouch came from as Washington and his allies failed.
George Washington (1732 - 1781 a.t.b (Ascension Throne Britannia)) was an American rebel and military general, formerly a British Colonial Colonel, in The Prime Universe of Code Geass. He was the centre and leader of the failed Washington's Rebellion, Which have been because of Benjamin Franklin's defection and betrayal by refusing the assistance of King Louis XVI in exchange of British Title of Nobility. George himself would later be killed in the Siege of Yorktown.
Although his rebellion has failed, it would later inspired The French to make their own revolution. Which would be the start of The European Age of Revolution and the establishment of The United Republic of Europia, which was one of three major superpowers. With The Holy Britannian Empire and The Chinese Federation being the other two major superpowers.
He was also an inspiration to Lelouch as well, and when he was given the opportunity to learn about him in his universe and other universes by The Doctor along with what might have happen if Washington did succeed in his rebellion, he took the chance and opportunity that was given to him immediately and willingly as he studied about America and its principles and foundations that was laid down by Washington and the rest of The Founding Fathers of The United States of America which would aid him greatly for the time when he would one day free his world from his tyrannical father, who in Dean's and Sam's personal opinion when they heard of the guy the first time was a complete d***, and his tyrannical empire.
Hell, he, along with his fellow companions and The Doctor, was present in The American Revolution of many countless universes, along with their own, with The Doctor inadvertently becoming their founder by default and by proxy, since he was an old friend of George Washington in many countless universes and since he was present when The Declaration of Independence was signed in many countless universes, to which made The Winchester Brothers completely shocked and spooked when they found out about it since they were actually talking to and was old friends to one of their Founding Fathers.
Sota Mizushino, The Meta-Expert of Fiction and The Resident Expert in All Manner of Fiction among The Companions. His aspiration was to be a creator who entertains people of all types and ages with their different backgrounds and foregrounds in life as he serves them with happiness and satisfaction alongside his girlfriend, Yuna (Setsuna) Shimazaki, as he learns from his experience in his adventures and misadventures in The TARDIS. Dean and him tend to get along too well due to the many constant fiction references that they had made to each other back and forth, with the rest of The Companions and Sam rolling their eyes out.
The spiky-haired teenage boy that was known as Touma Kamijou, The Imagine Breaker, The De Facto Leader of The Companions, The One who leads The Companions. He was the one who always uses his Imagine Breaker along with his ideals and convictions as he shatters the illusions of others including his very own as he saves everyone with no hesitation, whether they were innocent or guilty, as his dream was to make people of all ages smile. With just that simple reason, one might think of it as naive and stupid especially among The Winchesters and other hunters in general, but after seeing him in action as he was a man of action and not just words and the fact that he can back up his words, they begin to eventually fully support him and his dream. Dean would usually sometimes refer to him as The One Punch Man due to the constant use of his right hand for most of the time, with Touma usually pointing out to him that that name was already taken.
Together, they form a team that was known throughout The Known and Unknown Multiverse as they break the illusions of others.
Team TARDIS.
Or more jokingly.
Team Misfortune.
To The Companions constant annoyance, exasperation, and ire.
Touma Kamijou was someone that they had anticipated most greatly and missed greatly. His right hand was very useful against all forms of the supernatural. In their universe and many others throughout their multiversal cluster.
There's not a single god, monster, demon, or other supernatural beings in their universe and others connected to it that were not aware of The Imagine Breaker ever since he made his presence known to their universe all those many years ago during The Civil War between the two archangels.
The Civil War between The Archangel Castiel and The Archangel Raphael.
At that time, he used his Imagine Breaker to battle against The Forces of Heaven and Hell.
The Demons of Hell couldn't do anything but get punched by The Imagine Breaker as they can't used their powers on him like their usual shtick.
The best part and the bonus part to them and to everyone else was that the people that the demons possess as meat suits ended up surviving the whole ordeal which was something that made the brothers felt relief and gladden in their old hardened hearts since for once in their life, the possessed people get to have second chances in life and not get their lives ruined and taken due to these twisted souls of the damned. What's even more surprising is that The Imagine Breaker tends to purify the damned souls of the demons and turn them back into normal human ghosts who would then feel contrite at what they had just done as they went towards Heaven with smiles on their faces.
Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and every supernatural realm in their multiverse would learn to think thrice before fighting against The Imagine Breaker.
The Demons of Hell had now begun to utterly fear and loathe him greatly because of these reasons considering that The Imagine Breaker was responsible for the depletion of more than half of the demonic population which resulted in all of their kind going towards the brink of extinction.
The Demons begin to call him with titles such as but not limited too:
1.) The Doom Slayer of Hell.
2.) The Righteous Man.
3.) The Man Who Absolves Sin.
The Angels of Heaven looked at him as well with concern because their powers also did not work on him, to their consistent and constant surprise, as well as to Dean's and Sam's absolute delight and absolute pleasure, considering that their usual smug faces now became dreadful faces that would now think thrice before coming across him, as he uses his Imagine Breaker to smash through all of their pathetic illusions and send them down towards the ground.
Hell, even the pagan gods, monsters, and ghosts of all types grew to fear him as well.
For the pagan gods, he uses his Imagine Breaker to no-sell them and sent their arrogant a** straight towards the ground.
For the monsters, he purifies them with his Imagine Breaker which would cause all of them to become human upon making contact.
For the ghosts, he purifies them with his Imagine Breaker which would cause all of them to become normal and not vengeful upon making contact as they can finally have peace in the afterlife.
Because of all of these reasons, many of the former monsters, former demons, and the souls of the dead have begun to hail him as their messiah which resulted in the circulation of his legend throughout the entire planet, to Kamijou's constant annoyance, facepalming, and exasperation as he utters his usual famous and infamous catchphrase.
Fukou da (Such misfortune).
While his fellow companions and The Winchester Brothers would react in full non-stop laughter as Dean makes a constant joke reference to Monty Python to rile up the poor exasperated spiky-haired boy.
The souls of the dead would tend to go towards him as well whenever they see him in their vicinity in order to be purified and sent to their resting place at last.
The Reapers, Tessa especially, were thankful towards him because he made their job a whole lot easier.
Throughout the years, The Imagine Breaker has managed to turn their grim-dark universe, and by extension their grim-dark multiverse, into a bright and happy one, and as a result, he has become famous and infamous throughout the entire supernatural community as a whole.
He has also become rather famous and infamous throughout the entire hunting community as well.
Many of the younger hunters, especially the females, tend to ask Kamijou for an autograph or a selfie or an advice on a particular matter whenever he was spotted by them or whenever he was visiting town, to the old and experienced hunters amusement.
The old and experienced hunters, Bobby Singer especially, grew to respect the boy that was known as The Imagine Breaker as he made all of their lives a whole lot easier in the long run.
He has become The Hope of their Multiverse.
The one that they truly needed and didn't deserved.
The Winchesters and so many others owed him, his best friends, and The Doctor a lifetime of eternal gratitude.
The One who purifies God and Slays Demons is back in town.
That title that sounded completely badass and completely awesome in Dean's and Sam's personal opinion.
Vworp Vworp Vworp
The ancient sound of everyone's favorite blue police box has now been heard by the three men as they turned towards their left side and saw the one that they were looking for.
POLICE PUBLIC CALL BOX
Six people begin to exit out of the box.
A man with brown ancient eyes, who wore a dark brown suit with a Duster type overcoat which is accompanied with a dark brown tie, plain white shirt, olive brown t-shirt, and with Converse All Stars as his footwear.
This is The Doctor.
A teenage boy with black eyes, with spiky hair, who wears a school uniform that was composed of a while shirt, light black pants, an orange undershirt, and wears white shoes with red stripes as his footwear.
This is Touma Kamijou.
A little boy, with the apparent appearance of a child but with the mind of a high school detective, who has dark brown hair which mostly hangs downwards just above his blue eyes, but there are also a few strands that stick up at the front and back of his head. His outfit consists of a blue blazer with a single button and a pair of shorts, red trainers and white socks. He also wears a red bowtie, his father's old glasses, and red shoes which were all modified to aid him in his cases as a detective.
This is Conan Edogawa, formerly Shinichi Kudo.
A teenage boy with brown eyes, who wears the standard uniform of North High which is composed of a red tie, blue jacket, white shirt, gray pants, and brown shoes.
This is Kyon.
A teenage boy that has the looks of an average young man in high school with straight brown hair that reaches down to his neck and amber brown eyes who was wearing his school uniform which is composed of a red tie, blue jacket, white shirt, gray pants, and brown shoes.
This is Sota Mizushino.
A teenage boy who was a tall handsome young man with black hair and violet eyes, which he inherited from his mother, who was physically fit, having hidden muscles that are hidden on his person and appears rather thin. He wears the standard uniform of Ashford Academy which is composed of black trousers, white long sleeved shirt, black shoes, and a black jacket (or gakuran) with gold trims and linings which is accompanied with the Ashford logo on the neck.
This is Lelouch Lamperouge, secretly Lelouch vi Britannia.
They were all coming straight towards their known position.
"Doctor." Castiel said with a nod of respect and camaraderie.
"Castiel." The Doctor responded in kind.
"Hi guys." Kamijou said in a tone that denotes that he was happy to see them.
"Well, well, well, if isn't The One who purifies God and Slays Demons." Dean said in a good humored tone as he went towards the spiky-haired boy with a manly hug and a pat on the back. "Good to see you, man."
"Good to see you as well."
Sam also gave him the same manly hug and a pat on the back as well.
After that, The Winchester Brothers gave the other Companions their manly hugs and patting on the back as well, The Winchester Brothers high-fiving Conan due to his small stature.
"Well, then." The Doctor said with an anticipated tone which draws everyone's attention. "Now that were all here, what seems to be the problem, Castiel?"
Castiel begins to have a look of seriousness that was in his expression as he turns towards the mansion with a suspicious and narrowed look.
"See that mansion over there, Doctor."
The Doctor and his companions stared at the mansion that was before them.
It seemed like an ordinary mansion at first glance, albeit abandoned, but for the companions themselves, they all learn by personal experience to never judge first apparent appearances so easily as they always consider the possibility that they might have missed something.
"Yes, What about it?" The Doctor said seriously as he was looking at the mansion with interest and felt the same hidden malevolent presence that Castiel was experiencing.
"I sense something strangely familiar about it. It made me recall as if you and I encountered this sort of thing all the time before back in the day (The Time War). Don't you remember?"
Castiel said all this with a tone that denotes the subtlety of seriousness while The Doctor begins to realize, with his ancient eyes widening, on what his old friend and comrade seems to be telling him.
No wonder this malevolent presence felt all too familiar for he definitely knew why it was so. He'd honestly not been surprise at the very least. He and his fellow members of The League had been hoping that they had manage to contain The Fallout of the Time War, with him Time Locking The Entire War with The Great Key of Rassilon and The Moment, but they knew from past experience that it was never really the case.
There were so many scattered weapons throughout The War that were still left unaccountable.
There was one such weapon in The Time War that was known as The Hush.
The Hush was a living sound originally created as a weapon of The Last Great Time War by The Time Lords of Gallifrey. It would devour and steal the voice of anything that made a sound. It was originally used in war, but since it was attracted by sound, it got into Radio Bravo, which was a ship that was built to broadcast music, in the year 1986 because the transmitter was beaming its signal in the wrong direction. The worst part was that it had no physical appearance and was entirely conceptual in nature. The Doctor had managed to trap it in an audio recording, but unfortunately, The Hush managed to escape when the recording was eventually recovered due to certain circumstances.
Then there was the problem of scattered remnant Daleks of their remnant Time War Empire who'd slipped through his fingers countless times before in the past, present, and future despite his and his fellow League members best efforts to keep them hemmed in.
Then there was the constant shadow that seemed to be following him such as the planets and the universes that he'd been unable to save whose inhabitants seemed, for some strange and mysterious reason that a few people knew all to well, especially keen on taking their frustrations out on Earth in any universe due to the special nature and significance of the planet in question.
And now he begins to realize why this malevolent presence felt very familiar to his senses as a Time Lord.
For he'd seen it and others like it in action. Seen the aftermath.
They were called The Terror Traps. The Daleks had created them for The Axis War Effort as a part of The Axis Operations. Davros himself had a hand in the first prototypes. And wasn't it such a Davros thing to do, taking the very thing that Daleks professed to be a weakness and making it an actual weakness. Turning fear and emotion into weapons.
The Last Great Time War had been many countless things to many countless people, but mostly, it was terror. It was Hell. He'd said that many times before and after with emphasis.
He'd seen Time Lords who had stared down a legion of Daleks turn tail and run when these things came to a planet. These traps knew how to look into your mind and pick out your greatest fear. Your basest, most primal fear.
Emotions. Davros had always said that emotions would be the undoing of All Creation besides The Daleks. And he had very nearly succeeded when he created The Terror Traps. Nearly.
But he'd underestimated Time Lord ingenuity—and mental capacity. With enough exposure (something The Doctor would definitely not recommend), some were able to build up enough . . . well, it wasn't quite immunity, but it was something close. Like recognition. Recognizing the parts of his mind that weren't his.
These things could definitely destroy a TARDIS, given the right tools, and The Doctor was just thanking his lucky stars in any universe that this corner of this Earth in this universe didn't seem to have much in the way of technology. Old dirt roads and broken down houses.
"Surely you don't mean what I think you just meant, old friend?!" The Doctor responded with a grimaced face and with a dreadful realization.
"I do." Castiel said in a grave serious no-nonsense tone.
"Cass, What are you two talking about?" Sam asked in a curious and concerned tone.
Castiel made a grimaced face as he looked towards Sam. "Sam, I'm afraid that things have become far more dangerous than our usual cases as of this very moment."
"What do you mean?" Dean asked as he made a face that denotes seriousness and attentiveness.
Castiel begins to explain.
"This mansion that we're seeing right now, Dean. It's not a mansion. Not anymore at least. It's something else entirely since the entity had managed to have taken over this mansion. This entity in question is actually a weapon."
"A weapon!" Lelouch said with his eyes, along with his fellow companion's eyes, begin to narrow in attentiveness as they look back and forth between the mansion and Castiel.
"Yes, Lelouch." Castiel nodded towards the young man. "It is a dangerous weapon that was used to ensnare multiple civilians and combatants into going inside the possessed buildings while thinking mistakenly that it was just an ordinary building but as it turns out, it is very far from the case. This weapon is known as The Terror Trap."
"The Terror Trap. That's seems like an awesome name." Dean said with usual stride in his voice and with good humor to sort of defuse the tension.
"Yes, you would think that, wouldn't you Dean." Castiel said as he smiled slightly at the side comment from his friend while becoming serious once again. "But let me assure you and everyone else that The Terror Trap is not to be trifled with as I have seen with my own two eyes on how it could be used to turn many friends and comrades against one another. I have seen it happen too many times before to count."
The Winchester Brothers begin to notice the familiar grave tone that their old friend had begun to use which brings them to their full attention.
"Cass." Sam said in a concern tone. "There something else about this weapon that we don't know about isn't there."
Castiel looked towards Sam with a look that denotes a lifetime of sorrow and regret as both The Winchester Brothers begin to realize on what exactly they were dealing with since they have seen that look on Castiel's face before so many times.
That look that denotes like that of a soldier that has fought in a war.
But it wasn't just any war.
It was The War.
The War that made Dean's torture in Hell for 40 years and The Apocalypse look like an afternoon workout and this would seriously be understating it.
The Last Great Time War.
It was such a big title, something that sounded ominous and . . . final. And it was. It was the darkness that Castiel had seen as he fought on the very front lines at the very heart of The War with legions upon legions of Clone Troopers of The STARS under his command as their general.
It was the thing that he talked about when he once described to them that his old friend, The Doctor, was much scarier than appearances had suggested or was made out to be.
There weren't many things that could stop the mouth of Dean Winchester, but Dean had to admit that this was easily the show-stopper of a lifetime.
The brothers had tried to imagine it, the very sheer scale of it, but they found out to themselves that it was actually far too big for them. And in Dean's defense, he had a pretty big imagination, so that was saying a lot.
But they really couldn't. Not really. For more than half of the things that The Doctor and Castiel talked about had almost made no sense to them. The weapons that they talked about, the way that Time and Space were things to be used to hurt the enemy rather than things to be respected. It didn't make any lick of sense. And that terrified them to their very core.
And worst of all was that of the horrifying image that they couldn't get out of their heads: the idea of Castiel, their old friend and comrade, standing in the middle of all that carnage as everyone and everything dies all around him repeatedly like it were something out of a twisted version of Groundhog Day only turned up to 11.
It honestly made The Winchester Brothers looked at their old friend with new eyes of complete sympathy and empathy.
Castiel was tasked by The Man Upstairs Himself (Chuck) to fight in this War. It was one of the main reasons why he had been promoted to the rank of Archangel. In the eyes of Sam and Dean Winchester, he definitely deserved that promotion and was very happy for their friend and comrade who fought alongside them as he stood for humanity against his own brethren while making himself into a traitor for his own kind because of it.
Because of his involvement in The Time War, most of the denizens of Heaven began to hail him as their chosen savior and new leader. It was because of all this that Castiel became the new head of Heaven's Army as they now became active in their duties once again for the protection of mankind as he has made various and diverse reforms among the government of Heaven in accordance with his father's instructions while rooting out the corruption from within and from without as he uses his authority as an Archangel.
Things have become far better in their universe ever since because of Castiel's reforms.
On the plus side of this grim situation of The Time War, their old friend was truly never alone in this Conflict as he had joined an organization that was dedicated to the protection of the known and unknown multiverse.
The Multiverse League of Extraordinary Gentleman and Ladies.
Dean once compared The League to The Avengers of Marvel or The Justice League of DC, to the other League members annoyance and exasperation when they found out about it and blamed their resident jester (Q) for giving him that idea.
The Winchester Brothers were thoroughly surprised when they found out that many members of The League where fictional characters that they and many people had read about in the comics and watched in the movies.
People like Q, Ash J. Williams, Stephen Strange, and John Constantine spring to mind among countless many.
Dean and Sam went fanboy almost immediately as they asked for all of their autographs.
Naturally, they all gave their signature and the brothers kept it as a treasured souvenir and placed it in one of their vaults in The Bunker for safe keeping.
They would never forget that day when Castiel once invited them to a meeting of The League as they begin to discuss about The Passing of The Time Lords and the chaos and unrest that seems to be happening throughout The Known and Unknown Multiverse.
Needless to say, it was very awkward for The Winchester Brothers to be there as they seemed to be the only normal humans, minus a few such as Roland Deschain but even he seemed special in the grand scheme of things, in a meeting that might as well be that of a god convention.
"Cass, is this about..." Sam hesitates for a bit before continuing on. "That?"
"Yes, Sam. It is." Castiel nodded in confirmation.
The companions looked at the conversation that was happening before them as they begin to understand clearly of the grim situation that they were dealing with as they notice the tone that shifted back and forth at the flow of the conversation, as they made grimaced expressions on their faces due to remembering their dangerous and almost fatal close encounter with The Pre-Time War Daleks of Skaro during The Second Dalek War.
"This is about The Time War, isn't it." Lelouch said in a grimaced tone as if he were stating a fact.
The Winchester Brothers looked at them with their eyes widening in utter surprise.
"You guys know about that?" Dean said as he and his brother begins to realize that The Doctor's secret was out and that The Doctor finally managed to tell them. To which made the elder Winchester thought that it was about damn time that The Doctor had told them the truth and that it was a long time coming since they of all people deserve to know in his personal opinion.
"Yeah." Kamijou nodded in grimace and in confirmation of the elder Winchester's surprise question. "The Doctor told us back when we we're visiting his universe. That, and we ran into The Daleks during that little side trip."
"What!" Dean, Sam, and Castiel (especially) reacted at that little bombshell that was just dropped.
"It's a long story." Conan said in a grimaced expression. "To give a summary, due to a rift in space-time, we somehow manage to end up in a time before The Time War took place, right at the very middle end of The Second Dalek War."
"A rift!" Castiel reacted in a serious tone due to him and his fellow members of The League dealing with this particular problem among many that seems to be cropping up lately due to The Time Lords absence.
"Yes, Castiel, it was a rift." The Doctor confirmed. "But I wouldn't worry about that particular anomaly seeing as I have manage to close it shut before anyone get's pulled through accidentally just like us."
Castiel sighed heavily in relief at that as he said in a relieve tone. "Well, at the very least, that's one problem down that we didn't need to deal with."
"Man, we're you guys alright?" Sam said to the companions with a concerned expression. "I mean, knowing The Daleks, it couldn't have been easy on all of you."
"Oh, you have no idea." Kamijou said with a grimaced expression.
They all stayed very silent for a few moments in order to get a few moments to breathe.
The companions themselves could never really forget their most dangerous encounter and almost fatal experience at the hands of The Daleks.
The companions themselves could never really forget all of the atrocities that The Daleks had committed right before their very eyes.
The Daleks would officially become the very thing that the companions would be in fear of constantly and would take them in absolute seriousness from that moment forward if there was the slightest possibility that they would encounter them once again due to their sheer unpredictability, due to their infamous way of surviving as a species, and due to seeing with their very own eyes the sheer and terrible scale when The Daleks waged war.
The destruction of Stella's own planet, Auros, along with the tactics of brutal torture that humanity was forced to use due to fighting against them was still burned into the back of their minds and would sometimes have nightmares concerning that trip.
After the heavy silence, the conversation regarding A Certain Weapon had been resumed in full haste.
"So?" Dean asked seriously as he turns towards Castiel. "How exactly to we deal with this weapon, Cass?"
Castiel looks towards The Doctor with a knowing expression, which was turned back towards him as well in kind. "Well, Dean, I was just thinking that The Doctor would be able to successfully dismantle this weapon safely with the help of The TARDIS seeing as I know from experience that she can be a formidable weapon and a formidable opponent against The Terror Traps as I have seen her dismantle this Terror Trap's more powerful kin during The War."
"Right ahead of you, Castiel." The Doctor said as he brings out his Sonic Screwdriver and points it towards The TARDIS and manually drives it and shifts it towards The Terror Trap and dematerializes around it in order to be dismantled from the weapon from the inside out.
Vworp Vworp Vworp
After The TARDIS managed to get rid of The Terror Trap and bring the abandoned mansion back to normal, The Doctor, The Companions, The Winchesters, and Castiel all went back to The Men of Letters Bunker.
The Doctor and The Companions went there by The TARDIS while The Winchesters and Castiel went there by The Impala.
By the time The Winchesters and Castiel went back to The Bunker, it was already daytime, when they opened the door of The Bunker which sounded the alarm, they were all greeted warmly by 5 people that were waiting for all of them in The Bunker as they were sitting across the sofa.
The first person was an old man with brown graying short hair, with a blue baseball cap, and a beard. He is 6'0" tall and has the typical alcoholic body type, he is a little round and well built.
This is Bobby Singer.
A Hunter.
The second person that The Winchester Brothers would ever considered as a father.
The second person was a woman with long black hair, who wore a blue jacket, a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and black female shoes as her footwear.
This is Lisa Braeden, now Winchester.
The Wife of Dean Winchester.
The third person was a young adult who wore a while plaid shirt, a black leather coat, gray jeans, and brown boots as his footwear. He has green eyes, light freckles on his face and short-cropped Ivy-league hair that is dark blonde. He seems to be a a spitting image of Dean when he was younger. He is noted to be "handsome" or even "pretty" by other people that were around him constantly.
This is Benjamin Isacc "Ben" Braeden, now Winchester.
The Step-Son (?) of Dean Winchester.
The fourth person was a young woman with brown hair, who wore gray coat, a white shirt, black jeans, and black female shoes as her footwear.
This is Kelly Kline.
The Wife of The Archangel Castiel.
Secretary to The President of The United States.
The fifth person was a Causcasian young adult, with a white plaid shirt, with a brown coat, with gray jeans, and a pair of dress shoes as his footwear.
This is Jack Kline.
A Nephilim.
The Son of The Archangel Castiel and his wife, Kelly Kline.
In the distorted inconsistent timeline that was caused by The Time War, he was the son of The Rebellious Archangel, Lucifer.
The Winchesters and Castiel made their way down to the bunker as they were greeted by all of their love ones.
"Dean!"
"Cass!"
The respective wives called out to their husbands who had come home from their job as they gave them a quick kiss on the lips as a sign of relief and reassurance that the men that they loved were home safe and sound.
"Dad!"
"Dad!"
It was Ben and Jack who called out to their respective fathers as they immediately left the couch that they were sitting on and went towards the side of their fathers.
"Well, it's about bloody time you idjits came home." Bobby said as he was in the sofa drinking beer.
"How was it, Dad?" Ben said.
"Did you all solved that case that you all said you were working on?" Jack said.
"Yes, Jack, we solved the case." Castiel nodded in confirmation.
"But we had a little help along the way." Dean said.
"Help?" Bobby said as he raised his right eyebrow at the elder Winchester and was about to ask for an explanation when suddenly, a familiar ancient noise began to be heard as The TARDIS dematerialized at the living room of The Men of Letters Bunkers.
Vworp Vworp Vworp
Everyone's eyes begin to widen as they recognized the sound of The TARDIS as they waited in excited anticipation.
The Doctor and his Companions step out of The TARDIS as they all begin to greet their old friends.
"Hello, everyone! It's been a while!" The Doctor said in his usual voice that was full of excitement and a warm winning smile.
"Doctor!" Everyone reacted immediately with joy as they saw their old friends once again as most of them went towards them in haste.
It was on that very same day that everyone decided to catch up among themselves. With The Companions, Ben, and Jack hanging out as they played video games on the large TV screen. The Doctor giving Bobby new amounts of the finest wine from The Dionysus Universe that was prepared by the finest alien sommeliers. Lisa and Kelly made lunch on the kitchen as they prepared meals for their guests. The Companions were swapping stories from their respective universes among the listeners as they all eat at the table. Touma describing his new job as a member of Judgment to The Winchesters, Castiel, Bobby, Ben, Jack, Lisa, and Kelly while describing the organization that he works for which was a student-based disciplining committee. In the personal opinions of Dean and Ben, they considered Judgment to be simply just glorified hall monitors in a city that was basically a very large boarding school and thought that they might just have to visit his universe one day if they ever had the time.
It was also on that very same day when Dean, Sam, and Castiel along with The Doctor made their official report to an O-5 Council Member on what they have found out in the mountain regions. With The Companions, Ben, Jack, Bobby, Lisa, and Kelly watching them from the sidelines.
As the high tech projector that was put in place was beginning to brighten, an image of an old gray haired man who wore a black business suit which is composed of a white dress shirt, black jacket, black pants, black underwear, black tie, black socks, and black leather shoes. He was sitting on a black office chair with his two hands placed on the handles of the chair.
This is Max Walker.
A Member of The O-5 Council.
"Gentlemen. Doctor." He greeted his agents with a professional tone and greeted The Doctor with a knowing and respectful nod at his Chief Scientific Advisor and Chief Ethical and Humane Use Officer, which was thrown back at him in turn by The Doctor with a knowing and respectful nod of his own. "I would assume that the case that Dr. Bright gave you has been solved without any further incident."
"Yes, sir." Dean said in a respectful tone.
"Good, that's one less problem that we needed to worry about. I assume you didn't call me just for a house call."
"No sir." Sam said in a respectful tone. "But we manage to find something out about this haunted mansion with a little help from Castiel and The Doctor."
"And that is?" Walker said in a curious tone, with a raised white eyebrow to the right.
Dean and Sam looked at each other for a moment as they made a nod towards each other as they looked back at Walker.
"We have just recently discovered that the haunted mansion in question was actually a weapon that was called a Terror Trap which was a weapon that The Daleks used during The Last Great Time War."
Walker begins to widen his old eyes a little as he recognize the name of one of the most dangerous and common used weapons of The War, as he said in a voice that denotes seriousness. "Are you sure?!"
"Positive sir." Sam said in a tone of confirmation. "Castiel and The Doctor managed to figure it out pretty quickly due to easily sensing its presence."
Walker was silent for a moment as he contemplated the revelation that presented before him as he poses with his fingers intertwined and resting over his mouth.
After a few relative moments, he finally manages to utter a grave and grateful tone.
"Thank you for reporting this to me, Agent Winchester." He said as he looked towards The Doctor with a saddened and resigned look. "It would seem, old friend, that no matter how much effort that we put in to try to contain the fallout of The Time War, try to bury it in the dirt and try to move on with our lives, it always seems to come back to haunt us at every step of the way as if it were a shadow that you just can't shake."
"On that, we can agree, Councilman." The Doctor responded with a saddened and resigned tone that was tinged with the sorrowful experience that accompanied it.
"These scattered weapons have become very big problems lately in the political sphere, Doctor. Many of my undercover agents, Mobile Task Forces, and The Clone Troopers of The STARS have been scouring the known and unknown multiverse for a long period of Meta-Time for any sign or trace of these dangerous unaccounted weapons. Many of them were successfully found and contained while we managed to arrest those who are responsible for selling these dangerous weapons to The Spatio-Temporal Black Market in order to buy and sell for the highest bidder but there are still far more countless weapons left out there that remained unaccounted for. And I and many of my fellow council members in The O-5 fear that this could only go from worst to worst from here on out because without The Time Lords to monitor the known and unknown multiverse like they used too back before The Time War, history itself is a whole lot easier to change from the inside and from the outside by inside and outside forces which made The Foundation go into full overtime as we tried to contain this problematic situation. Sure, Temporal Powers Alliance (TPA) Members such as The Xeelee and The Downstreamers have our backs when it comes to these problems, but it cannot be denied that a Meta-Era without The Time Lords is a Meta-Era of Uncertainty. I can only hope and pray that we aren't in over our heads."
The Doctor looks towards his old friend, who was shaking his head due to fatigue, with his ancient eyes of sympathy and empathy as he sighed deeply and also contemplated this Meta-Time that he and everyone else is now living on at this very Present Meta-Moment.
A Meta-Era without The Time Lords.
A Meta-Era that is full of Uncertainty.
A Meta-Era where anything can happen.
A Meta-Era where anywhen can happen.
