One day earlier…
Reiko was in the nursery as she was busy using the breastpump for further use due to her calling to what was put in front of her. After storing plenty for the younger twins in time to freeze it, she wrapped her pumping as she put away the breastpump and took the packs of the essential milk out of the nursery and into the kitchen. In the freezer, she placed the stored breastmilk into the freezer in plastic containers as she was most likely to be going to my aid in this crucial time of destiny. By the time she was finished, she turned around as she saw Cynthia arriving as she was concerned about the ongoing war between the Order and the Executive Division, for this wasn't the very end of what was going on so far.
"You're taking off, aren't you?" she said.
"I sensed a calling to Sammy," said Reiko.
"For a humanoid being, you sure know how to pump milk without having to worry about your breasts sagging."
"Even though I have inherited my mother's Nephilim abilities, my breasts still keep a firm shape to them, even when the babies suckle and latch onto them just to eat."
"I had my fair share with breastfeeding when Reuben was born in which he looked more like John, but with a Half-Elven appearance. Still, you have a very busy schedule like the rest of us, but I decided to come here to this part of the castle on Drakonus."
"I'll be leaving soon, but I will have help soon."
"That's why I'm here, but if anything bad happens to the children, I have my rifle with me. You're not the only one with a busy schedule with Izunia still marveling at what he made all over. This isn't like the Elder Days with the Apocalypse, but we all have to pull our weight. Still, I hope that the rest of the Destiny of Worlds unlocks because this galaxy needs this golden age before it's too late."
Reiko was grateful to hear Cynthia's words as she had an angelic aura all over her. Even though she was ready to go, she would soon meet up with me as she had a duty to fulfill so far, for the Destiny of Worlds was still on the table right now…
Present Day…
Nibori was at her home near the main warehouse of her former line of work as she was dressing up in her uniform that is tailor-made for her. Even though she is now part of the Order, she was missing her days at the White Rosalia Salvaging Company already as she was about to bid it farewell for the time being. By the time she was finished dressing in her black outfit that consisted of some black pants, a hip holster, a midriff shirt, and black flak jacket, she was ready to leave until she saw the young Draaza girl who was rescued standing in her way. She didn't want Nibori to go as she was wanting her to stay here on Mirkos, but duty was just the beginning for one who is now a freelance salvager.
"You're leaving, aren't you?" said the Draaza girl.
"I just got called in by the Order in their ranks, but I have to kiss this old job goodbye," said Nibori.
"I don't want you to go..."
"I know, but I have to be on point into looking into things that have been old and abandoned like your ship before it was destroyed. Still, after all that has happened, there is one hell of a silver lining after that in which we saved you from such a cruel fate on the Doohan."
"My name is Rosamunde Winchester. My mother was named Margaret Winchester, but she was human when she carried me. She was the ship's doctor from the Medical Corps in which she was forced to go on board with me just like our colony on Stohess. Those people in red forced us to go on board our ship and they even killed that kind man who founded the Medical Corps." Tears ran down the Draaza girl's face as she was feeling the pinch from such a sad toil indeed. "I decided to hide in the stasis room for a while until I froze, only for that lady to get me out of there. By the way, do you know where she is?"
"You mean Dvora? Last night, she got hitched with Anaira Mitani in which they are more than likely to be on bodyguard duty at the behest of Shion, who leads the Order just like her brothers and cousin. As for Castiel, however, I haven't gotten a chance to see him close again, but recently, he just garnered the typical Pepe Le Pew look."
"Pepe Le Pew?"
"It's a skunk from an ancient cartoon series in which he often search for love, but the stench of him drives people away because of it. The only high point is when a furry black female cat comes along with either a stripe of white paint or dye in which the skunk mistakes her for one. It's a complicated one, but he'll soon put the stench on hold just in time for the heat of romance."
"Nibori T'Chauli," said a voice on the intercom. Please report to Docking Bay Four."
"It's time to go, but I'll someday see you again soon, alright?"
Nibori saw Rosamunde give her a hug as she was seeing her off the moment she set off to her new position in the Order. As for the mission at hand, there was a reason to be there as the time to salvage old things was just the beginning of what was there at hand…
I was up and alert in my room at the inn as I was getting dressed after having my shower earlier. In a similar twist of fate, I spotted Reiko dressed in an elegant white dress with lavender trim all over in which she wore it just to match the long silver hair that she had. Even though both of us were going towards Gehenna, I was dreading such a trek there as the resurging of bad memories would soon entangle me without warning. The discovery of a shrine near the domed city of Gurusha was a find for the ages as we had no other choice but to adhere to the calling that was given to us, for this was something that couldn't be ignored right now. For me, it was a nightmare that I was walking into as the memories of the years growing up under the cruelty of Sylvanus would be too much to bear until I remembered the silver lining of it all when I first met Shigeru in the first place before returning home and marrying Reiko after that.
"You fear returning to Gehenna, don't you, Sammy?" said Reiko.
"Yeah, but all those harsh memories of me being under foot will end up taking their toll towards me," I said. "All those years being there, I've been nothing more than a servant in which I had to be there for those who lived at the fort I lived in. After that, I ended up being banished from it after looking into the secret compartment that delved into various lore from the Elder Days in which Gehenna had none of it so far except for the Wendigo that lurked all over."
"You did return to us and even befriended Shigeru in the end, but our journey still isn't over when it comes to what we should really be doing."
"I know, but returning home to that frozen wasteland is something that I have to be used to first."
"Sammy, you shouldn't let those bad memories get to you, alright? Besides, there are many silver linings that are worthy of being discovered and our children will soon see to it after that."
"Speaking of the children..."
"They're safe at home after that trip to Erebor with the matsutake mushrooms. I made precautions when I stored and froze my breastmilk for the younger twins in which Mother always stood in charge during our absence. In the end of it all, we're all family and we all stick together when times get harsh, for it is there that is needed the most. She means well, but she can also be armed with her rifle as well due to her experience as a hunter."
"Leave it to Cynthia to play Mama Bear with a rifle… It's vital for family to help us out with the children, but we also have our other primal duties in front of us..."
And so, Reiko and I were all packed and ready to go as we left the inn after paying our bill. When we left the inn, we saw Castiel standing in front of us as he was ready to escort us to the ship that was bound for Gehenna as planned. All three of us were leaving Mirkos behind as we were on our way to the frozen wasteland that I once lived in, for it was a place that I loathed the most during my years growing up.
"It had to be Gehenna, but I have no choice right now," I said.
"The shrine near Gurusha was unearthed two months ago, only to see opposition coming from those who mine for Gehenna's minerals to make a profit," said Castiel.
"And the shrine…, will it be standing still?" asked Reiko.
"According to Shion, there was an influx of criminal activity in which the Intergalactic Police have been cracking down on such dirty crimes, but no one has entered into the frozen shrine due to it being sacred."
"If we're going to Gehenna, we should also dress warmly," I said. "Still, I see all those memories there in which the only thing that kept me sane were the books that were in the library. It's a godsend that I read them, for without that knowledge, I wouldn't be walking everywhere by now."
And so, we were going towards the ship that was bound for Gehenna as the time for departure was looming on the horizon. When we stepped inside, we were welcomed by Dvora, Anaira, and Nibori as they were on board in which we were leaving Mirkos and going towards the planet that I truly loathed the most. For a while, I had hated living on Gehenna due to its inhospitable atmosphere as I was more than likely to be returning to it for a reason, for it was a place that I vowed never to return to after that. In the end of it all, my notion of seeing a silver lining would soon be heard as I stared out the window the moment I was leaving normal civilization behind for a while.
"We're leaving Mirkosian airspace," said Dvora as she took the pilot seat. "I heard reports about how you were hidden from the rest of the galaxy, but you can't run from the past forever, Sam."
"Gehenna…, it's a place known as a frozen hellhole, but it's one huge cash cow when it comes to mining for the influx of tradarium," said Anaira.
"The only warm places on that planet are none other than the domed cities," I said. "I've actually been to Gurusha once before I was taken out of Gehenna entirely."
"I've heard a report about how my freelance hunter of a cousin once meeting up with you in which you guys destroyed a meat-packing facility that had dirty dealings with SucroCorp three years ago. After that, the local officials in the domed cities had issued a order to inspect certain meats that come and go over to them. Even though the Leviathan menace is no longer working there on Gehenna, they still crawl around on Harkonnen, but the Executive Division will soon gain influence for those gluttonous bastards soon enough..."
And so, we took off from Mirkosian ground as we left towards space as planned. It was a far cry from travelling from the room with the red rubber ball and by train constantly as I was returning to Gehenna once again. The vast reaches of black skies and asteroid fragments passing by was a return to boldly going to a place that I mostly loathed. When the ship switched over to a setting similar to that from the Bernadette and the Kurokage, I looked out the window as I saw the icy planet of my youth on screen. It was the same frozen wasteland that I lived in for years before I was once banished by Sylvanus three years ago. Time flew when I had fun, but I had prior engagements to attend to first as I left the bridge and entered into my quarters. Laying on a bed, I pondered about the constant years of torment that Sylvanus gave me as I was mostly hidden in servant's robes most of my life, for it changed when I finally left the fort three years ago. It wan't long until I saw Reiko entering into my quarters as she laid down on the bed beside me, for she didn't want me to worry too much.
"You're afraid of going back to Gehenna, aren't you?" she said to me.
"That frozen wasteland is nothing more but a tangle of bad memories for me," I said.
"Were there any good ones there?"
"There never were… All I did was nothing more but studying and cleaning up messes in which I also had to steer clear of Sylvanus' wrath. I never had any fun at all in which it was nothing more than work all over. I even had to sit at the table near the window in the mess hall when it came to meal times, but leaving it was both a disgrace and a sense of renewal when I thought I was out of the Order for good. Therefore, I was-"
"Attention," said a voice over the intercom. "We are now reaching Gehennan airspace to the domed city of Gurusha. We will be arriving shortly soon at the Order's request as planned."
I got up as I went towards the window as I noticed the darkness of space changing to a greyish hue that was familiar to me. I was returning home to Gehenna once again as the ship itself landed towards a city clearing that was heavily domed and protected from the planet's bonechilling cold. By the time it stopped onto a hangar, I left my quarters as I went towards the airlock and opened up the doors. To my surprise, I found myself in Gurusha's landing bay as I noticed the familiar Biggerson's billboard lighting up in red and yellow with a blond woman in pigtails holding a juicy hamburger on a saucer. I returned to my temporary home as I saw Reiko and the others coming here the moment they were greeted by Balthazar and Zaphra, who were more than likely to fill us in on what was found near this domed city.
"You arrived just in time, Sam," said Zaphra. "The inside is hot here, but outside lies a treasure that is also a hub for banditos."
"And this frozen shrine will be discovered," I said.
"Bear in mind that once you see it, you won't see it the same again," said Balthazar cautiously.
"Then we'll face the danger," said Nibori. "I'm no stranger to cleaning up space debris, but I can't just let this opportunity of seeing this shrine go to waste. I already had to face such dangers during that ill-fated mission on the Doohan, but salvaging it can bring the truth about what can be learned."
"It seems that you've been used to the danger, aren't you?"
"I just got put into the Order, but I can't leave such ruins unsalvageable right now. As soon as we get to the site, the better."
Nibori was brimming with enthusiasm as she was more than likely to see more of what was there on Gehenna. As for the task at hand, she would soon find out more clues about what the Destiny of Worlds is really about, for it was just the beginning of her career in the Order of Letters so far…
Later on in the day, a Sohma vehicle touched down to the frozen ruins near Gurusha as Nibori got out of there all dressed in her arctic clothing. When she went towards the shrine, she saw it to be untouched, but covered in all the ice and snow that was all over this frozen wasteland of a planet. The sight of the frozen shrine was a far cry from her previous work in the White Rosalia Salvaging Company as Nibori entered towards the main entrance. She never saw anything like it before as she saw the mural and paintings on the wall that depicted me and Reiko in various natures, both spiritually and sexually. It was a place that no one dared to enter into as Nibori decided to explore even further.
What she found was a room that was heated from the cold as it had a stone altar complete with an opening above the ceiling. She never saw anything like it before as she saw it to be a sacred place with a side order of sexual overtones. It wasn't long until she felt a heat from below as she entered into a pool room where it was a cross between a bathhouse and a roman communal bathing area, but with a heated pond that was never seen before until now. Turning around, she saw Balthazar appear out of nowhere as he was dressed in arctic gear. Still, he was ready to gie Nibori the heads-up about how this shrine worked as it was also a place that was made for both me and Reiko on a night of pleasure someday.
"This place is more complex than a Turkish bath," he said. "If Zaphra saw this, she would strip me naked just to have me bathe in such an unusual atmosphere. Therefore, you saw the drawings firsthand, but there will be others like that when it comes to Sam and Reiko having a moment with one another after a long day with the children and work."
"On my homeworld, such drawings of a sexual nature on display is forbidden by the Moral Council," said Nibori. "It's an eye-opener, but the drawings of Sam and Reiko are much older than what I saw on the Doohan, but more ancient than normal."
"Sam and Lady Reiko have a duty to fulfill, but there are those who fear their ascension towards the stars. As for their usual lovemaking on such stone altars, there's always a wastebasket when spent condoms are tossed, but they aren't there to collect the rubbish, for the gods all over the cosmos accept such offerings that are similar to Mayan bloodletting on sheets of paper."
"I bet that Sam and Reiko will come here, but the weather outside will freeze them once they finish what they start."
"The passionate lovemaking between the new and coming demigod and Lady Reiko isn't just their simple 'alone time,' but their duty to propel a blast of raw power to open more of the central planets that haven't been discovered yet."
Without warning, Nibori heard some footsteps approaching as she was armed with her laser rifle while hiding in a corner. Even Balthazar was on alert as he saaw two intruders dressed in red clothing while they wore gold crosses around their necks. He remembered them clearly as they came from the Red Inquisition due to their fervent devotion to a false sence of God. In other words, he literally loathed the presence of the Red Inquisition due to their constant calls be forcing several Draaza communities to remain celibate forever against their wishes, for their methods are very grave ones indeed.
"We should tread warily," he said.
"Those people in red…," said Nibori. "They should at least show some respect to such artwork that lasted longer than all of us combined."
"The Red Inquisition is the worst religious organization in the galaxy in which they have a constant loathing for the Draaza, whom they had successfully culled by forcing them into celibacy against their wishes and physiology."
"I saw what they looked like when I was on board the Doohan. Even Dvora was concerned about her own steps to the matron stage in a Draaza's life cycle."
"Those poor souls who suffered from the celibacy machine have turned into something a lot worse than a Wendigo in which they are known as Askradi, which is the Draaza word for eater. You're not the only one who went up against such tragic souls, only to have them put out of their misery."
"Who's there?!"
Balthazar and Nibori saw one of the Red Inquisition look all over as he was paranoid about how the empty shrine was now "defiled" by the Order. Much to Balthazar's disgust, he loathed the presence of the Red Inquisition as they were encroaching on the territory that was sacred due to its foretelling of the Destiny of Worlds. When one of the men in red cloaks drew out a gun, he was ready to fire into the walls until he felt a laser blast knock it out of his hands. The other member of the Red Inquisition spotted Nibori with her laser rifle in her hands as she was willing to protect the frozen shrine from such dangerous fiends in pious clothing.
"You're not a Draaza, but you look like one," said one of the two men in red clothing.
"I'm no Draaza, but I'm a Mirkosian and a new member of the Order of Letters," said Nibori.
"Is the false shepherd foretold in those salacious drawings inside here with you?" asked the other one. "If so, then our boss will either kill him or spare him to become the true vessel of Lucifer."
"What are you talking about?"
"In the Elder Days, that blasphemer's past self was earmarked to be Lucifer's vessel, only to end it by returning him to Hell back to his cage during the Apocalypse. Now that he has achieved such a god-like status, he will be perfect to house the Devil, but forcing him to say yes to Lucifer will not be easy."
"And it won't be easy the second time," said Balthazar as he used an incantation to trap the two meddlers in red. "Tell your Red Cardinal that Sam Winchester and his beloved are off limits, along with the further shrines that have been etched in their names. You may be upping the ante by upsetting the balance in the Ashizoka System, but your grudge against—or perhaps the unethecial culling of the Draaza has gone too far already." He uses the incantation to banish the two intruders as they vanish without a trace. "Therefore, we all have to live a harmonius lifestyle or else it would be dangerous while wading in such gruesome territory."
Nibori was grateful that Balthazar got rid of the two members of the Red Inquisition as she had a gut feeling that there wouldn't be an end to them yet. Still, they had to report back to the party that was waiting for them until they noticed an Orcress in arctic gear approaching. In an instant, she recognized Balthazar as she walked up towards him and kicked him in the crotch the moment he fell to the ground.
"Long time, no see, Rosalba," he said as he was reeling from the kick she delivered him.
"Zaphra should've done the same thing to you when she catches you trying to go catting away like you normally do." She sees Balthazar get up as he was fully healed, but reeling from where she kicked him. "The last time you were here, you were stuck in one of the brothels until Zaphra caught you in the act the moment she placed a chastity belt around you with a much padded jockstrap to wear with."
"You know of her, don't you?" said Nibori suspiciously.
"Her name's Rosalba Farragut, but she's a freelance hunter unlike her older sister that runs the local watering—or perhaps freezing- hole near this place."
"We've been getting trouble from those idiots in pious clothing lately in which they want to sully the new savior's reputation while wanting to use him as a tool to become Lucifer's vessel," she said. "With the Red Inquisition making trouble along with the Executive Division, it's been going sideways in which both parties fear the new god's ascension as a threat to their operation."
"If you are willing to see the new god and goddess' ascension, then you're in luck because they're being prepared to go towards this place and do their duty."
"You better not be peeking or else I'll kick you in the crotch again, with or without a jockstrap around the family jewels."
"You should save your ballbreaking for later," said Nibori. "By the way, there's some writing on the wall next to those pictures."
Rosalba walked towards the mural of me and Reiko as she saw the Draaza writing that was visible from the snow and ice that tried to cover it over the years. It was a call to bring such sensual passion in the air before a catastrophe occurred as it was also time to bring me and Reiko forward to this frozen shrine. Even Nibori noticed the writing in the Draaza language as she was wanting to hear from it, for it was a time to search for things out of the ordinary at least.
"'On a moonlight night, the ones chosen by destiny will make love to one another or else this planet will become filled with poison?'" said Rosalba as she deciphered the writing.
"I've heard of people talking about their sex lives off and on, but having to do it or else Gehenna becomes toxic?" said Nibori.
"It's surprising that a Cetra like that ballbreaking Rosalba knows the Draaza language," said Balthazar. "Still, we should bring in the two lovebirds before this entire planet becomes a cloud of toxic fumes."
"I'm an Orcress, you ass!" yelled Rosalba. "Yes, my mother is known to be a Draaza, but I'm just a simple Orcress who hunts on the go. As for Sam and Reiko, we should tell them right away."
"If they are ready to do this, then we should leave first just to give them some privacy without any prying eyes staring at them," said Nibori. "Besides, isn't this planet dangerous?"
And so, the three were ready to bring us forward as the time for us to make love to one another was at hand. Still, it was our duty to bring the Destiny of Worlds at hand as it was also a time to put an end to the Executive Division and other threats that stood in our way…
I was in my arctic clothing as I noticed Reiko dressed in such a warm ensemble complete with a bonnet to cover her ears and hair. Both of us were sitting in the jackal as we were on our way towards the frozen shrine to fulfill our duty so far. Even though we have returned to Gehenna, we were in for the truth as we noticed the jackal stopping at the shrine the moment I stepped out and walked towards it. When I noticed Balthazar gathering up some snow to cover at his crotch, I had a gut feeling that a member of the Farragut Clan would be here due to one's grudge against cheaters, including a certain angel lamenting what happened to him earlier.
"You had a slight problem, didn't you?" I said.
"It had to be Rosalba, who has a fierce disdain over men who cheat on their spouses," said Balthazar.
"It seems that the feeling is mutual, but you'll recover after that."
"For the record, is Lady Reiko with you?"
"I'm here, Mr. Balthazar, but Zaphra would be very cross if she caught you trying to cat away," she said. "Therefore, the shrine in front of will do for this night."
"You should be careful in there. The Red Inquisition is in the ranks of this frozen cesspool, but they won't stop until they maintain further abuse in the robes of a false piety. You and Sam are being targeted not only by the Executive Division and their allies, but from the Red Inquisition and the likes of Milverton and his cronies. We will defend this shrine with our lives, for the duty of bringing the Destiny of Worlds into further fruition. It is vital, but necessary because our galaxy depends on it."
"And we'll do it just to awaken more of what is hidden in the central part of the Ashizoka System," I said. "Still, we can't allow our enemies to take advantage of the raw power that I have nor do the same with Reiko. We have a stake in this, but-"
I felt Reiko's gloved finger touch at my mouth as she didn't want me to say too much. When we walked towards the shrine, we noticed Nibori and Rosalba enter oug of it as they were staying at the front with their weapons in their hands. The time to bring forth a surge of raw power was near as we saw the doors close behind us. The place was unusually warm and toasty inside as we saw the usual stone altar complete with a wastebasket to collect garbage net to it. It was also at that moment that we decided to explore more of the shrine's perks as we went towards the bathing pool that was discovered in which we saw it to be smelling with the scent of bergamot and black lava salt. Both of us were most likely to be bathing into such a comfortable pool as we stripped off our clothes and went towards the wash basin to clean ourselves. The two of us were more than likely to be fulfilling our duty as we finished up washing ourselves just in time to go towards the bathing pool that was waiting for us. By the time we entered into it, we felt the water warming our skins as we were also welcomed by the pleasant scent of bergamot and black lava salt. We were there together as we also had our moments in the form of yet another lovemaking shrine in which we had to do our duty on this night.
"It's been three years since I left Gehenna, but we're only here to do our duty in this shrine," I said.
"You were mostly running ragged all of your life, weren't you?" said Reiko.
"Even though I live here most of my life, I will always have a love/hate relationship with this planet due to the harsh treatment that I went through under Sylvanus. Luckily, I came here to prevent a Leviathan smorgasbord in the form of them eating the remaining comrades I knew in my years at the fort or else they wouldn't have lived by now."
"This place is warm on the inside, but frozen on the outside. Even the pool is piping warm, but similar to the hot pond that we spent our days at in the Dabb Mountains on Shiganshina. Therefore..." I felt Reiko touch at my member as she was wanting me to take her on this night. "You should at least guide your pillar where it goes to..."
I had a gut feeling that Reiko was itching to let me take her as we both got out of the bathing pool and went towards the room where the stone altar was. Noticing a small pack of Casa Erotica condoms on it, I grabbed it as I opened it up the moment I took one of them out in order to fulfill such an evening like this. Staring at the ceiling, I noticed the moon to be full as it was a nightly omen that was in need of having such a surge of raw power coming like that, for it was necessary to prevent Gehenna from having toxic fumes mixed with the frozen atmosphere it has. When we laid together on the stone altar, we looked at each other as we kissed with such intensity. The both of us were in tune as I was more than likely to be on the receiving end on this night. To my shock, I noticed Reiko touch at my member as I saw her putting it into her mouth the moment I felt a surge of pleasure jolting me all over. I was feeling the gentle caresses from her as she was more in tune to get me stimulated the moment she stopped and unwrapped the condom in her hand.
Putting it on my erect member, I watched Reiko crashing down on me as she enjoyed the feel of it inside of her. I was in heaven with her as I saw her large breasts bouncing in front of me the moment I saw her moaning with excitement. I was also feeling the erotic pleasure engulfing me as I couldn't get enough of Reiko on top of me. At that moment, I saw her sitting me up as she allowed me to suck on one of her breasts in which I tasted what she had. Even though her breasts were mainly made for both suckling our children and for pleasure, I was grateful that I was seeing them while I sucked on the other one the moment I heard Reiko yelling out loudly. I was holding her close as my hard member gave Reiko more pleasure than what she anticipated. By the time our climax arrived, a surge of raw power shot up as it rose up to where the ceiling was in which we were tiring out after what we were doing. When Reiko withdrew from me, I removed the spent condom as it was tossed into the wastebasket, but that interlude we had was far from over.
"Our time here is done, but the itch has not subsided," I said.
"I thought that the women needed more to calm what they ache in such pleasure," said Reiko.
"Speaking of which..."
I felt my member hardening up once again as I took another condom and unwrapped it the moment I bent Reiko over and plunged inside of her from behind. I was all over her like a dog this time as I was thrusting inward and outward of her. The itch may be far from over, but I had to calm it for both our sakes as we were still in synch with one another. The toughing of her breasts made me feel more comfortable with my lovemaking as I also couldn't get enough of Reiko's hair that was now long and silver like mine. I was all over her until I heard her cry for more in which she was enjoying the feel of me a lot more than expected. By the time we reached the point of a powerful orgasm, we were surrounded by an angelic aura in which we were unharmed by it. Tired of our interlude, I pulled out of Reiko and removed the spent condom while tossing it into the wastebasket in which we heard footsteps coming.
"It seems that we got company," I said.
"Our clothes are near the bathing pool," said Reiko.
"We better get going before more problems come along."
We went towards the bathing pool as we noticed our arctic clothes were gone and replaced with nightclothes and undergarments for us. Putting them on, we were even dressed in our robes as we noticed a familiar angel dressed in a school uniform while wearing a My Little Pony backpack that she had, for she wasn't looking at us until she turned around.
"If you're looking for your clothes, I took them to the laundromat next door to that Biggerson's joint," she said. "I know that the two of you got a little bit down and dirty just to avert a catastrophe to this oversized snowglobe, but the Red Inquisition's been making trouble just like those idiots in the Executive Division."
"It's been a while, Tirzah," I said.
"Castiel's over at the laundromat as well 'cauee there's nothing better to do here on Gehenna anyway. As for the two newlyweds, they've been briefed from your brother about protecting you and Reiko round the clock due to the double danger that's been going on since Julilla up and died."
"There's a triple threat, Tirzah. Milverton also has a grudge against me for marrying off Anaira and Dvora in the first place out of both fear and necessity after-"
"-The crisis on the Doohan? I heard all about it in which the high-rollers from Hell wouldn't go and face off against an Askradi. They would be torn in seconds like a piranha pigging out." Tirzah unzips her backpack as she gets out a box of matcha flavored Pocky while opening it up. "Even though the time of the Elder Days is gone, the remnants of Lucifer, the Royalists of Hell, and those who literally loathe Milverton in which Asmodeus the Second can't light up a cigarette without his boss staring down at him."
"Asmodeus the Second?" said Reiko out of curiosity. "I thought that there's only one from the Children of Azazel with that name."
"Asmodeus the First was far worse, but he was the one who took over after Crowley's death in the Apocalypse time pocket in the Elder Days. The guy may look dressed in his white suit, but his face screams 'cat fight' while he was up to no good back then. Anyway, we should be focusing on bringing the Destiny of Worlds up to par 'cause the bad guys won't stop until they take out the main purpose in front of us. It's harsh, but we can't just go and fight our foes half-cocked. There's no going back after all that has happened and the Executive Division has set their sights on the Sol-3, where they will launch Project Amaterasu to eradicate the Order's main headquarters on Westeros."
"Shion must be warned before it's too late..."
Without warning, we saw the Red Cardinal and his lackeys bursting in from the back door at the end of the bathing pool as they had guns in their hands. They meant business as one of them drew an angel-banishing sigil until I rendered it inoperative. I sensed their presence to be a further threat as I had to stand my ground to protect my friends and family, for they were there in harm's way with me.
"Sam Winchester," said the Red Cardinal. "It appears that we meet again, only to take you away in time for the ritual to unlock Lucifer from his prison the moment Torune Mitani placed him in there."
"I won't become Lucifer's vessel and I never will!" I yelled.
"It's the will of the Mother Church that Lucifer will have a vessel and you have all that raw power within you just to make him unstoppable."
"It is never the will of the Mother Church nor God that my Sammy will be your puppet for your dark master that tormented my grandfather and brother all those years ago," said Reiko as she released a much more powerful angelic aura. "I won't let you take my Sammy away because your dark master will find him warded against those who would possess and abuse what he has."
"Lucifer is coming, but sooner or later, he will have a vessel and it will be Sam, for it is ordained by the Mother Church and those who ache for his return."
"Torune Mitani's magic remains strong and unbroken," I said. "As for your interference, it will cease!" I used my raw power to banish the Red Cardinal and his lackeys into further parts unknown as I was getting testy against them. "Begone and leave me alone! My duty is with the Destiny of Worlds, not to become Lucifer's bitch!"
I put my foot down as I had my reasons to stay the course. Even though I stood my ground, I wasn't out of the woods yet as I saw Nibori rush in with her laser rifle in her hands in which she saw that the threat was gone. Even though the interlude between Reiko and me was over and preventing the air on Gehenna to become poisonous, Nibori herself was thankful that we were safe as she had her reasons to protect us, for we were caught in the crosshairs in this ongoing war so far.
"I saw a blast of light shooting through the air from outside," she said.
"It came from Sam and Reiko, but you knew the story on the walls," said Tirzah as she was munching on a Pocky stick. "For the record, we got bigger problems, but we can't run away from them forever."
"Castiel's in the domed city waiting for you, but you should be careful."
"The Red Inquisition is rampant here, but surviving out in the bitter cold on this planet with little food can turn one into a ravenous beast if not prepared properly," I said.
"By the way, Balthazar is waiting for you in the Sohma, but we've got some accommodations at the hotel next door to the laundromat."
"And we'll go there..."
And so, we left the frozen shrine as we were ready to go back into the safety and warmth of the domed city of Gurusha. Stepping inside of the Sohma, we were ready to go back, but little did we know was that a mechanical bird was watching in the distance, only to be destroyed by gunfire in which another Orcress in arctic gear was aware of what the Executive Division was doling out the moment she picked up the SIM-Tron chip just in time to take it to the nearest contact from the Order. Just as she was about to do so, she saw Castiel appearing out of nowhere as he noticed what was left of the mechanical bird that got destroyed, for he was aware of what the Executive Division was doing on the sidelines.
"It seems that you shot down another one of the Executive Division's mechanical spies again, didn't you, Nadine Farragut?" he said.
"They're everywhere, but they'll always get shot down," she said.
"The Executive Division now knows that Sam has been here, but the fort on this planet is also concerned about what has happened so far."
"Stuart's been working his ass off since he welcomed his son to the world, but Sadie's been on bedrest since the birth last month. As for the situation with the current problems, more and more keep popping up at the fort in which it has gotten more advanced after the Wendigo attack three years ago."
"I remembered how Sadie was left incapacitated after her injuries, only for me to heal her just in time to lead the fort to further aid those who either visit the domed cities, mine for this planet's riches, or hunt monsters from the ancient lore."
"You don't look like a hunter, but you do have the typical Pepe Le Pew look going on. According to Mason from the Medical Corps, he used some tricked-out prosthetics to fix you up with the moment your arm and leg got hacked off by Clegenny Marquand in Zetian."
"Sam did the incantation into making the prosthetics work while the Medical Corps did the rest. I can still fight, but I can't abandon Sam or Lady Reiko in this crucial time right now."
It wasn't long until Castiel and Nadine saw a land vehicle arriving the moment it sported the Aquarian Star on it. They knew of it to be an Order of Letters ship as they saw it stop the moment its doors opened up. To their surprise, it was a familiar face that was once blackballed, only to bounce back in this time of crucial importance, for she was adamant into seeing me and Reiko at once.
"It's about damn time that you came back on the field of the Medical Corps, Kotori," said Nadine.
"I would've stayed put on Essos, but I was called in to aid our troops," she said.
"If you're looking for Sam and Reiko, they're in Gurusha," said Castiel. "They're staying for a bit before going home on Drakonus."
"It's been a while since we parted ways, but we should get moving," said Nadine. "The nights are harsh, but there are bandits that will take you down if not careful."
Castiel spotted a group of bandits in the distance as he followed Nadine and Kotori into the Order of Letters ship. Even though our stay on Gehenna is temporary, there are further dangers still lurking in the shadows as the ongoing war had different engagements in mind…
