I do not own the rights to Supernatural, Grimm, or the lyrics to Blaze of Glory although I think NBC Universal and Warner Brothers might have missed a chance to make something awesome.
A soldier can not return home after he leaves the army, and can not find a job. Desperation drives him to make a deal with the Devil, who makes a bet with him. For the next seven years, he will carry a purse of gold that's always full. However, he must wear a bearskin and neither pray nor wash nor cut his hair in all that time. If he survives, he can keep the purse, but if he dies, the Devil gets his soul.
It was around 2:30 in the morning and it was the last call for drinks in Portland, Oregon. Two guys walk out of the bar on their way home for the night.
"Hey do you mind, I need to make a call?" Said random guy number one.
The second random guy had given a not at all gesture. As the first guy goes over to the phone booth. About 20 minutes had passed with no sign of the first guy returning, the second guy walked over to see the phone off the hook hanging, and the first guy dead on the ground.
"Hey everything alright?" The second random guy asked, and not getting a response. He flips him over and sees his throat slit open bleeding out. The guy backed away in panic.
8 hours later.
"So how did the victim die?" Asked agent Bon Jovi (Dean).
"Had his throat slit open," said one of the responding officers. A moment later a second officer lifts the crime scene tape to let in Detectives Burkhardt and Griffin. The two detectives see the fake FBI agents.
"Who called the FBI?" Nick Burkhardt asked looking at agent Bon Jovi (Dean) and his partner agent Smith (Sam) in confusion.
"I don't know, they just showed up and started investigating," said the responding officer.
So Detectives Burkhardt and Griffin approach the body and begin their own investigation into the death.
"Wesen case?" Asked Griffin as agent Smith (Sam) noticed the power next to the body and take a sniff of it.
"Sulfur," said Agent Smith (Sam) to himself.
"Maybe," said Nick "but what Wesen could do this?"
"So what happened to the victim?" Asked Agent Bon Jovi (Dean) to the witness.
The witness goes into detail of what happened 8 hours prior and the phone call he had to make. Then a moment later the witness vouges unprovoked into a Pflichttreueas (or a panther like beast) as Nick walks up to the witness.
"Oh shit! You're a Grimm!" Said the witness as he points to Nick and tries to back away. "Agent! Don't you see the black eyes!"
The agent thought for a moment 'black eyes' and realized that a Demon might be behind him. As he grabs hold of Nick and holds the colt up to his head.
"Woha, back off!" Said Nick with his hands up, "What's going on here!"
"Dean!" Said a deep male voice, "step aside. Let me expel the demon out of this man."
Dean steps aside with Nick still confused as to what's going on. As Castiel lays on hand on Nick's forehead as the angel's eyes begin to glow with a white light. A moment later:
"Dean, this man is not possessed at all." Said Castiel
"Not possessed, who are you guys?" Asked Nick.
"Hunters," Dean responded. "We go around saving people, hunting things."
As Sam walks up to Dean and Nick and says to both of them, "there was a sulfur residue left by the body."
"Sulfur?" Asked Detective Griffin walking up a moment later, "what wesen leaves behind a sulfur residue?"
Nick, feeling uncertain about it, decides that it's time for a visit to his best friend to help him out. All four of them decide to work together on this case.
"By the way Detective, no hard feelings about the colt being held to your head, hunter reflexes." Dean said in a reassuring tone as the squeaky door of a black '67 Chevy impala opened.
"I would have done the same thing if you were a rogue wesen." Said Nick
Castiel heads back to the bunker to dig deeper into the case and what Grimms are. Meanwhile Sam, Dean, Nick and Hank go over to see Monroe and Rosalee. On the way to the spice shop, Dean gets a phone call from Castiel.
"Talk to me Cas," said Dean.
"Dean, I've been doing some digging on Grimms. They're not reapers," said Castiel.
"Ok so we already know they're not reapers. We also know for sure they're not demons, then what are they? The witness seemed scared out of his mind when the detective walked up to him. Keep digging Cas." As Dean hangs up the phone.
Sam meanwhile going through John's journal for answers looks over at Dean, "I'm finding nothing in Dad's old journal about wessons and grimms." Sam said with a disconcerting tone in his voice. As they arrive at the Exotic Spice Tea shop to meet up with Monroe and Rosalee. Dean digs through the trunk of the Impala and finds anti-possession necklaces. And walks up to Nick and Hank.
"Here, put these on just in case." Said Dean as he hands both Nick and Hank two flame embroidered star necklaces.
"Thanks," said Nick and Hank as they slipped them on, "what about you guys?"
Sam and Dean flash their anti-possession tattoos. As everyone walks into the Spice shop, the brothers look around in amazement while a Moment later Monroe walks up to them. And sees immediately Nick needs something.
"Oh geez," said Monroe. "What is now Nick? And who are those guys?" As he looks over at Sam and Dean.
"I'm Dean, this is my brother Sam," said Dean introducing themselves.
"And we have some questions for you," said Sam.
As they approach the counter to Monroe, he asks, "what's the first question?" So Dean starts out with: "what exactly is a Grimm?"
"Wait, they know about you?" Monroe then asked looking at Nick
"Long story," said Nick in response.
"The witness at the scene asked me if I saw the black eyes in Nick." Said Dean. "When I think of someone with black eyes a demon comes to mind."
"Well I can tell you that Nick is not a Demon. In Nick's case, he's got the ability to see what other people can not. They police and hunt wessons and protect them from unknown threats around them."
Sam and Dean then both realize that's why an entry on Grimms was never in John's journal. It was because he's never come across one. Nick then approaches the brothers and then tells them more about it. About how he's been able to see the unseen and when a Wesen is nearby, they vogue into their true form, causing his eyes to go black. He then also asked Monroe for a demonstration as he vogues in front of Nick into his true form of Blutbad and immediately Sam cries out "Dean, Werewolf!" As he pulls out a silver gun to Monroe's head.
"What's going on…" but before Rosalee is able to finish her question she panics immediately at the sight of a silver gun being held at her Husband's head and drops some of the spices she was carrying.
"Please don't shoot my husband!" Pleaded Rosalee as she tries to guard Monroe.
"Ma'am I'm going to need you to move," said Sam "this man is dangerous."
"Dangerous?" Asked Nick, "hold on, blutbad and grimms might be enemy's, but I can reassure he's not dangerous. He's my best friend! Now let's put the gun down," as Nick grabs the barrel of Sam's gun and lowers it to the ground.
"Besides… Sam is it?" Asked Monroe. "Silver bullets won't work on me."
"Well I see our second question has been answered as to what wesens are," said Dean.
So everyone except Rosalee heads downstairs into the basement and begin looking at grimm journals for wesen that leaves behind a sulfur residue. A moment later the phone rings as Dean answers it:
"Dean I'm confused," Cas said with confusion in his tone. "I don't remember in the beginning of time an angel named Aziraphale befriended a demon named Crowley. Crowley was known as the king of Hell, and he's dead."
"OK Cas, step away from prime," said Dean as he then begins to fill Castiel in on what he's learned about Nick and Monroe. Sam and Monroe meanwhile put their heads together as Monroe was drawing blanks about which Wesen leaves behind sulfur.
"This might help instead," said Sam looking at Monroe while setting John's Journal on the table.
"Who is J.W.?" Asked Monroe looking at the initials
"John Winchester, this journal used to belong to our dad." Answered Sam.
So Monroe then goes through John's old journal, and finds new things they've never come across. Vampires, Ghosts, leviathans, Werewolves. "So that explains the silver gun you pointed at me earlier," said Monroe looking at the next page entitled Angels. "Wait a Minute, Angels are real?"
"Yes," said Nick and Dean at the same time.
"An angel tried to expel a demon out of me, but then learned I wasn't possessed." Nick added first.
"That's who I was also on the phone with," Dean added after Nick.
Afterward the guys go back into John's journal and found the entry they were looking for on Demons. Nick meanwhile gets a phone call himself.
"Burkhardt," Nick answered.
"Detective," said Captain Wu "We've got another murder. Same as the first. Throat slit open."
"Ask if there was a powdery residue left by the victim," said Dean.
"Was there a powdery residue left by the victim?" Asked Nick following Dean's lead.
"There was and it's got a rotten eggs smell to it," said Captain Wu in confusion.
"Alright I'll come and check it out," as Nick hangs up the phone and looks over at Dean. "There was a smell of rotten eggs at the scene."
"It's sulfur. Alright, I'll come with you to check it out," said Sam.
So Nick and Sam leave the spice shop on their way to the next scene of attack. Dean meanwhile looks over at Monroe and asks, "do you know where I can get some pie?"
"At a time like this?" Asked Monroe
"Hey! There's always time for pie!" Exclaimed Dean
So Dean and Monroe hop into baby. As Monroe is giving directions to a restaurant known as The Pie Spot. They take a seat and Dean orders a cherry pie while Monroe orders a simple cup of coffee. Meanwhile Sam and Nick are examine the body a moment later a guy walks up behind them.
"Hey can you help me with something?" Asked the random bystander. "I think my car is stalling."
So both Nick and Sam go to help the random bystander they pop the hood and see what's wrong, instead Nick gets knocked out first. Sam meanwhile in the driver's seat looks out "Hey Nick, everything alright?" Asked Sam.
"Oh he'll be fine," said the random bystander as his eyes flash black in front of Sam and proceeds to knock him out next. He ties them both up and sticks them in the back seat of the car. Nick awoke a moment later, and doesn't see Sam immediately but hears muffles from him and catches only Funkytown. As Sam tries to loosen his binds.
Meanwhile Dean goes and takes care of the check. As he and Monroe begin to head back to the spice shop the phone ring and it's an unknown number from what he saw. Monroe recognized the number and took the phone from Dean and answered it.
"Hey Monroe," answered Nick. "So we lost the trail of the demon again."
"Are you sure it's a demon, and not another Grimm?" Monroe asked back.
"Yes, meanwhile me and Sam are living it up in Funkytown. Can you relay that to Dean."
"Yeah will do," as Monroe hangs up the phone. Dean looks over at him and asks "who was it?"
"Nick," answered Monroe, "he said something about living it up in funkytown, do you know anything about that?"
Dean realized that both Nick and Sam are in trouble as he tells Monroe that it's their code word for, "I'm in trouble." A moment later Dean gets a call from Castiel explaining that both Nick and Sam and being held in an abandoned warehouse on the edge of town and Sam mutters the code word to Cas.
So they get a lead on where they are and load themselves up into Baby. Dean then puts on the radio:
I wake up in the mornin'
And I raise my weary head
I got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night's bed
I don't know where I'm goin'
Only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the wind, yeah
You're brought into this world
But they say you're born in sin
Well at least they've given me something
I didn't have to steal or have to win
Well, they tell me that I'm wanted
Yeah I'm a wanted man
I'm colt in your stable
I'm what Cain was to Able
Mister catch me if you can
I'm goin' down in a blaze of glory
(Down)
Take me now but know the truth
I'm goin' down in a blaze of glory
(Down)
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
As Monroe tries to tune the radio station to something classical. Dean glares at him and says "Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his piehole. Besides nothing wrong with some Bon Jovi." So Monroe leaves the radio alone as they continue to make their way to the abandoned warehouse.
Shot down in a blaze of glory
(Down)
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
(Down)
Lord, I never drew first
But, I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
Everyone arrives at the warehouse where Sam and Nick are being held hostage. So both Dean and Monroe get out of Baby and get the salt and spray paint ready.
"Here lay down some salt around the windows," said Dean.
"Well what are you going to do?" Asked Monroe.
"I'm going to lay down some devils traps. Will also have to get one closer to the demon in case we're chased."
So Dean and Monroe head inside and see Sam and Nick tied up. Dean stays behind to create a devils trap while Monroe unties both Sam and Nick.
"You're a lifesaver Monroe." Said Nick
"Yeah, thank you," Sam added.
"Going somewhere?" Asked the demon looking at Sam, Nick, and Monroe. As they try to back away from the demon only to realize the demon is trapped and unable to move any further.
"Hey how good is your Latin," Sam asked looking at Monroe?
"It's poor, why?" Monroe responded, as he sees Dean tending to Nick
"Well, we're going to perform an exorcism on it. Are you ready?"
Sam pulls out John's old journal and flips it to the page to expel the demon.
"Alright read along with me," Sam said looking at Monroe "Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica. Ergo, omnis legio diabolica, adiuramus te…cessa decipere humanas creaturas, eisque æternæ perditionìs venenum propinare…Vade, satana, inventor et magister omnis fallaciæ, hostis humanæ salutis…Humiliare sub potenti manu Dei; contremisce et effuge, invocato a nobis sancto et terribili nomine…quem inferi tremunt…Ab insidiis diaboli, libera nos, Domine. Ut Ecclesiam tuam secura tibi facias libertate servire, te rogamus, audi nos."
Then a moment later black smoke starts to escape out of the vessel it's taken possession of as it hits the ceiling making its way back to hell. "Was that the…" Nick began only for Dean to cut him off and say yes.
Afterwards everyone gathers around at the Lightning Will Bar and Grill where Nick treats everyone to a beer and a burger.
"So where do you guys go from here?" Asked Nick.
"Well will head back to the bunker a regroup with Cas," Sam responded. "The job of a hunter is never done."
Everyone then heads their separate ways as the familiar sound of the '67 impala grows fainter in the distance.
A/N: Supernatural fans take note: Nick, Hank, Monroe, Rosealee, and Wu are real characters from Grimm. Grimm fans: vise versa about Sam Dean and Castiel.
