I was in the Order's main headquarters on Westeros as I was in Shion's office. It had been five days since the Raithwall incident as I was on edge the moment I was eager to file my report after dealing with what nearly happened on the Westerian capital. Still, I couldn't let it slide as I also had a job to do into shutting down Project Amaterasu once and for all. Our constant run-ins with the Executive Division was more than enough to warrant this mission to me in order to put a dent into the Sol-3, for I had a galaxy to protect after all.
"There had been constant activities all over my part in the Ashizoka System," said Shion as she was at her desk. "After having outside help from a werewolf and his mate from House Fitzgerald and the aid of the rogue demon, Ruby, we've had reports of some of the soldiers who were loyal to General Tetrax ally themselves with our sworn enemies in this ongoing war."
"The mad general will have more blood on her hands than what we perceive to be," I said.
"Speaking of the mad general…," Shion fishes out a newspaper article as she gave it to me. "Our petty criminal was found dead this morning with her throat slit in her bed in which there was a note in blood that said one word, 'justice.'"
"She had it coming after threatening Empress Zaralia and her family along with the Medical Corps, but she didn't deserve to die a horrible death."
"The killer who scrawled the note left a sulphur trail and a message to you, Sam."
I saw Shion get out the blood-scrawled note as I saw the word, "justice," written on it. Examining it, I saw it to be a message of warning as I had a gut feeling that the late general's friends would encroach upon the Order, for this was something that couldn't be ignored. Opening the note, I examined it as I was fearing the worst, for this wasn't the end of such treachery coming from our enemies yet.
Sam Winchester (It read),
I had no other choice but to put an end to a common threat that almost destroyed the Westerian royal family. General Tetrax had it coming when her ongoing threats against Empress Zaralia was the last straw in which I couldn't stand by and let her escape to the unholy alliance she committed herself to. What she also did was to go after the Medical Corps, who are much lenient on those who suffered from mental illness than the doctors in Helgaard Citadel on Efrafa. General Tetrax had to go.I had to see justice done so that no one else would suffer from her lingering wrath ever again. As for your own predicament, I suggest that you destroy the Sol-3 and shut down Project Amaterasu before it's too late, for you are our last and only hope.
—Ruby.
I put the note down as I had a gut feeling that the general's killer had her reasons to get rid of her once and for all. Even Shion was concerned as she was also adamant into putting a stop to the Executive Division and their allies before it was too late. The time to destroy Project Amaterasu was near as I also had to tread warily in this thread of tangles, for the Second Galvanic Uprising was taking a toll on everyone, both ally and enemy alike. When I left Shion's office, I saw several members of the Garrison Corps arriving as they had several wounded people, both soldier and civilian, coming towards the hospital wing of the Order's main headquarters. The war left a deadly toll on everything as I feared the worst in which I had to pull my weight into dealing with the Executive Division, for I had to undertake my mission on the Sol-3 soon enough…
Reiko was in our home as she was busy taking care of the children the moment she put the younger twins to bed for a nap. Even though she was waiting for me to return home, she was also clutching at her stomach as the baby she was carrying made it tough for her to do some of the things while I was away. By the time she was ready to take a break in the main hall, she saw Rowena entering as she was most likely to be on the warpath against Sawney Masbath. Reiko never expected her to show up as the unexpected houseguest was waiting for me to return as well, for I was about to come back from work as well.
"I see that ye're the woman of the house while the one with raw power is away," said Rowena.
"If you're looking for my husband, he's not here right now," said Reiko.
"There's been a wee problem in which it concerns the satellite that's floating up above this planet."
"A wee problem?"
It wasn't long until Rowena turned on the television screen as images of destruction from one of the Westerian villages were blowing up everywhere. It was a disaster as a crater where the village once stood became a mortal reminder of how dangerous the Executive Division was, for they had Project Amaterasu in their grasp in this ongoing war.
"The once peaceful town of Flatfoot Junction has now become a huge crater after this morning's deadly attack," said a newscaster on television. "The once dormant Sol-3, which housed the infamous Project Amaterasu has been active once again in which the Order of Letters and the Westerian Government are on high alert. Dowager Empress Ithilia issued a statement earlier about the damage being assessed in Flatfoot Junction in which she was fearing the worst coming from the Executive Division and those who have been added in their ranks."
"This morning's attack has been a grave reminder of how the Executive Division really is," she said on screen. The loss of innocent people in Flatfoot Junction is more than enough to warrant a possible assault on our enemies. What they did was an act of war on this planet and I cannot let them bring further harm to us."
"That was the Dowager Empress' statement in which it has been condemned not only by the Order and the Westerian Government, but the Intergalactic Space Police and those who have allied with them. We will have further coverage on this—"
Rowena turned off the television screen as Reiko was shocked to see the damage that Project Amaterasu was bringing. By the time Nibori arrived, she was up to date on what was happening as she was also looking for me on the spot in which the news that concerned Project Amaterasu was getting intense than normal.
"Did you see the news?" she asked with concern.
"We did and Project Amaterasu destroyed an innocent village," said Reiko sadly.
"Flatfoot Junction wasn't the only village destroyed. The town of Raffleton was also wiped off the map."
"When it rains, it pours," said Rowena.
"I know that I marvel at old scrap during my days working at the White Rosalia Salvaging Company, but I read about the Sol Project in which it was once used to blast into the planetary core, only to cause destruction in the form of black ooze. It was mainly used in the First Galvanic Uprising, only to end in failure."
"And after Samuel's birth with the raw power that he has, the war ended and the Sol Project was shelved away for years. I knew of what happened in which General Tobias Wetzel promised to find and harness the wee bairn with the raw power that he had."
It wasn't long until I arrived after a long day at the Order's main headquarters here on Westeros as I had so much at stake. I was most likely to be going on a mission to shut down Project Amaterasu as I had no other choice but to do so. I couldn't allow the Executive Division to bring harm to our friends as I was most likely to be doing this in order to shut down the Sol-3 once and for all. What I didn't expect was that several members of the Medical Corps and other aid workers arrived at our home as they were bringing stragglers that survived the onslaught of Project Amaterasu. The sight of men, women, and children that fled from the chaos was more than enough to have us worried about what was yet to come, for this wasn't over just yet.
"My, my; ye're getting a full house since the battle against Darbus Toller's dolls in Kanto Village," said Rowena. "As for whoever's running Project Amaterasu, this cannot continue."
"This isn't good," I said as I spotted Reuben arriving in which he was directing staff to bring in the injured. "First, the siege in Raithwall and now this…"
I followed the members of the Medical Corps as I had to know what was going on the moment I took the elevator to the infirmary wing. The sight of injured folk was more than enough to put me on edge as I went into one of the hospital rooms in which I spotted a familiar Orc who was gravely injured in which he lived once after enduring an attack in Trainfell last year, but he wasn't so lucky the second time. I feared the worst as I saw Gethig in bandages after what happened earlier, for he was on the verge of dying after what went on here.
"I knew that you would come here to give me last rites…," I heard him say as he was breathing raspily. "We never saw it coming when I got most of the people out of Raffleton when I arrived here. A blast of light came out of nowhere just like it happened in Sgriccia and New Hanover on Alecrast last year."
"You came at the wrong place at the wrong time, I take it," I said.
"My gut instincts directed me to the town in which I warned the townsfolk to leave their village, but the laser just obliterated the town the moment I got the last of the people out of there, only to take the near brunt of the blast…"
"You were brave till the bitter end. You did what you had to in order to protect the townsfolk."
"I bet that the young man up there is waiting for me…" I saw Gethig shedding tears as he wasn't about to last longer. "Maybe a place in the Grey Havens is more pleasing… I did my part, for you should do yours in which the Executive Division will pay for tampering with things that they can't understand… You're a good man, Sam Winchester, for you have a bright future ahead of you and don't let anyone walk all over you. It's… been… fun…, but my… adventure… is at… an end…"
I watched Gethig close his eyes forever as the monitor near his bed flatlined the moment he died from his wounds. I covered his face in the blanket as I prayed at the end of the bed in which I was also thankful that he got me back to my field work since my days on Shiganshina. It wasn't long until Reuben entered into the room as he was saddened by the loss of a close friend who brought me out of exile once, for it was a sad day indeed.
"The townsfolk were grateful that he got everyone out of Raffleton before it was destroyed," said Reuben. "They never expected to fall for the huge meteor trick that worked until that deplorable laser from the Sol-3 destroyed that village."
"If it wasn't for Gethig telling me to return to duty, I would've never returned while Darbus Toller was in charge at the time," I said. "I owe him that much and I swear that I will shut down Project Amaterasu and those who are running it."
"You're not going up there in that clunker alone, Sam. I have a gut feeling that it's a trap and one of the Eichenberg twins is manning the controls up there."
"If it's a trap, then so be it. I won't abandon my calling to shut down the Sol Project and I won't let the Executive Division get to me. I'm a lot of things: a servant, a hunter, an Elder of the Order, a loving husband, a caring father, and a fledgeling god of a nest of planets, but I will never be a prize to be abused all because of the raw power that I carry."
I made it clear as I was ready to put a dent in the Executive Division's plans the moment I left the hospital room and made it into the hall of the infirmary wing. Just as I was about to take the elevator down, I heard my vidphone ringing as I answered it in which I had a gut feeling that one of the Eichenberg twins would be goading me into surrendering, for this was something that I refused to cave into.
"Hello?" I said as I was on the phone.
"Hey there, Sam," said Lorne over the phone. "It seems that the attacks on Flatfoot Junction and Raffleton were just the tip of the iceberg already."
"You're playing with fire, Lorne!"
"I'm waiting for you to arrive, just to activate Project Amaterasu up to full. Once you surrender, it'll make my job easier."
"You know I won't surrender to the Executive Division or those who serve beneath it!"
"Perhaps a little persuasion might change your mind!"
I saw an image appear on my vidphone as I saw someone dressed in Hunter Corps garb all tied up by two soulless dolls while I spotted a pillow case covering the head. To my shock, I saw Lorne gleefully removing the pillow case from the captive's head in which I had a gut feeling that a familiar sight would be abducted without warning.
"Dean…"
"Last chance, Sam!" yelled Lorne. "You either surrender or see your big brother being shoved out of the airlock!"
"I'll surrender…, but let my brother go!"
"Good boy… Don't keep me waiting!"
I put away my vidphone as I had no other choice but to surrender to the Executive Division. Dean's life was on the line as I had to get him out of the Sol-3 in which I was also backed into a corner. Still, I had to protect him as I was coming to his rescue, for I was forced to cave in against my wishes. When I was about to go into the elevator, I turned around and saw Reuben following me as he was concerned about my next move, for he had a gut feeling that I was forced to surrender to our enemies in this ongoing war.
"Don't try and stop me, Reuben," I said cautiously. "This is probably the last time everyone will see me…"
"So, you're caving into surrender," he said.
"Lorne's up there on the Sol-3. He has Dean and I can't let him die up there in space!"
"He's bluffing! Lorne may be grandiose into having Dean captured, but we all know that our brother wouldn't have wanted you to surrender to the Executive Division."
"I won't make the same mistake that my past self did in the Elder Days when he abandoned his brother while he was in Purgatory! I won't do the same to Dean, not this time!"
"Sam, wait!"
I saw the elevator door open up as I stepped into it. I had to save Dean as I also had no other choice but to surrender to the Executive Division. When I went outside to a clearing, I spotted a shuttle as I was ready to pilot it. When I entered into it, I was going in unarmed as I was scared for Dean's safety. I didn't want him to die. I wanted him to move forward. All I wanted for him was to be the best soldier in the Order just to be recognized for his bravery like our father was. Turning on the shuttle, I turned around and saw the door to it open as I saw Nibori and Rowena rush into it in which they weren't about to let me throw in the towel the moment I got the shuttle off the ground. There was no turning back as I also had to surrender to the same enemy who started up this war in the first place, but I would soon be in for a real shock not to do so.
"You shouldn't be coming with me," I said.
"And let you bow down and kiss that wee little punk's ass? I don't think so," said Rowena as she had my sword in her hands. "I heard the phone call through my talisman and Lorne Eichenberg isn't the only one up there in the Sol-3."
"He's taken Dean as a hostage. I can't just leave him up there to rot while Lorne has his way just to use Project Amaterasu to his own devices. I won't let that happen! I can't let him destroy Westeros with that clunker of a satellite in his hands!"
"There's no way we can let you surrender to the Executive Division, Sam," said Nibori as she was armed with her plasma rifle. "You're better than this because you can't let that asshat bog you down and make you his bitch."
"You're right about that one…"
"As for whoever's on the Sol-3," said Rowena as she was using her talisman. "He's up there and is waiting for us to bite him for stealing from the Vesper Guild and those who have witching trinkets."
"Is it Sawney Masbath?"
"Aye…, but he's not on the same level with the king of the space castle up there."
"I've heard of Sawney Masbath before," said Nibori. "The guy's a blackmailer who always squeezes his victims dry, but according to Odette, the Vesper Guild really wanna go in and bust his balls."
I feared the worst as the presence of Sawney Masbath would complicate things in which I also had renewed confidence into shutting down the Sol-3 and dismantling Project Amaterasu altogether. Still, I had to continue on my mission as I also had to rescue Dean before it was too late, for the time to stop the Executive Division in this lingering attack had gone too far right now…
Dean was in a cell as he was tied up after being captured without warning. He had a primal loathing for his captor as he wanted to wring his neck in which he was also responsible for the destruction of Flatfoot Junction and Raffleton. The bonds on him were tight, but he had an edge as used his diamond form to untie them before someone noticed. What he didn't expect was that someone other than his captors was here as he noticed him right away while he passed by. It was Sawney Masbath himself as he was on the warpath the moment he grew weary of Michael telling him off about sending monsters with angel grace to attack me. He had a grudge against not only me, but the archangel who gave him a warning as he was wanting to use the Sol-3 to his own advantages.
Dean had to act as he got up on his feet and noticed a vent above him. Crafting a diamond projectile, he undid the screws of the vent as the caging fell to the floor. Jumping above, he hid in the vent as he had to find a communications module to contact everyone in the Order. By the time he got out into a much wider part of the Sol-3, he noticed a surveillance camera near one of the corridors as he fired some projectiles at it the moment it fell to the ground.
"Sorry, no time for candid camera or an episode of Cops," he said.
"Attention, incoming shuttle approaching," said a computer voice.
"I bet that it's not the party bus full of sexy college cheerleaders…"
Dean rushed to a surveillance module as he saw my shuttle approaching in which he had a gut feeling that I would be coming to his rescue. When he saw the shuttle docking, he saw me with Rowena and Nibori in tow as he was aware that I needed some backup while shutting down Project Amaterasu. He was aware that I was ready to find him until he noticed Sawney on another screen arriving in a room that is similar to the ones on both the Sol-1 and Sol-2. What he also didn't expect was that there was a lock of silver hair in a vial as it was used to jumpstart Project Amaterasu in which Lorne was calling the shots or so he thought. To his shock, he saw Sawney shatter the vial as the silver hair blew into many pieces in which Lorne was not too happy with what happened earlier. What Dean also didn't expect was that the impact of Sawney's meddling caused the latter to change drastically in which his head became a twisted maw that enveloped Lorne's head while decapitating it. Dean never saw anything like it before as the sight of Sawney was far beyond sickening indeed.
"Son-of-a-bitch…," he said to himself as he saw Sawney throwing a tantrum on screen. "And I thought blackmail and stealing witching trinkets were his bread and butter…"
Dean left the surveillance module as he returned to the vent. He had to watch his back as he was in over his head in which he had to alert everyone in the Order. Looking near a window in the vent, he saw an escape pod emerge as he had a gut feeling that something wasn't right when he saw Sawney throwing a tantrum on screen earlier. Still, he had to warn me about what he saw earlier as things ended up getting complicated for the worst so far, for this mission was getting intense one second at a time…
The shuttle arrived as I landed in the hangar of the Sol-3. My mission to both rescue Dean and put an end to Project Amaterasu was more than enough to put a further dent in the Executive Division's sinister plans. With Nibori and Rowena out of the shuttle, they weren't about to let me out of their sight as they had a gut feeling that something was not right here in this floating space clunker. It wasn't long until Nibori spotted an escape pod being jettisoned from the Sol-3 as it was fleeing towards Westeros in which something was a little off indeed.
"Looks like someone made it out in a hurry," she said.
"And Sawney Masbath has arrived here," said Rowena as she was looking at her talisman.
"Something tells me that you got a hate boner for that guy…"
"Sawney Masbath stole from many witches, including me, and for what, pray tell? He was aware that he wanted Samuel to freeze to death when Sylvanus took him away from his safety on Alecrast with his big brother, only for Phyllis Schacter to intervene by forcing the lummox to take the wee boy in against Sawney's orders."
"I heard little of Sylvanus, but from what everyone in the fort on Gehenna told me, he pushed Sam around to no end in sight."
"And that was when Sawney controlled Sylvanus like a marionette just to force Samuel to endure the harsh punishment for that pampered brat's enjoyment at the expense of the magic he stole from me!"
"Now's not the time to discuss the past," I said as I spotted the two soulless dolls who took Dean hostage earlier. "We should be careful here. As soon as we shut down Project Amaterasu, the better."
All three of us made our way from the shuttle as we noticed the two soulless dolls standing in our way. Rowena knew what they were as she spotted them with their guns in their hands. She was aware that their armor protects them from magic as she later spotted me using my raw power to eliminate them on the spot. With our enemies stopped, we had to make our way to shut down Project Amaterasu until we ended up hitting a huge snag. Several more soulless dolls appeared as they had their weapons raised the moment we took cover from the gunfire. Separated from the attack, I hid further as Nibori and Rowena held their own in which I heard the sound of magic bolts and plasma lasers firing at the soulless dolls that split us up.
"You may be immune to my magic, but not to the plasma fire!" yelled Rowena as she used her powers to aim for the heels of the soulless dolls. "And the feet are always a weak point to attack at."
"We have to get to Sam," said Nibori as she saw me fall into a vent.
"We need to shut down those infernal plastic things first!"
"Good answer!"
Nibori fired at some of the soulless dolls coming as they were blown to bits by the effects of the plasma rifle. Rowena, on the other hand, used her magic to finish off the rest as she saw them be engulfed from the bottom up due to their feet not being protected by her attacks. By the time they finished off the soulless dolls on the Sol-3, they made their way into the main hall of the satellite as they had to be on their guard in which they eventually hid in one of the empty rooms. The room itself was something that resembled a science observatory as Nibori scoped it out for good measure due to what was found here. To her surprise, she found a rom-disc on the table as she picked it up in which it was a surveillance one. Searching for a projector, she found one as she inserted the surveillance disc into it in which she saw Lorne in the room where the torture contraption was, for he was not too happy with whoever was sabotaging his ambitions.
"Damn that Sawney Masbath!" he said on screen. "He thinks he can con me just like he did that angel with the defective vessel! Well, I've got a surprise for him in which he'll see that I won't be on this space clunker due to it being a weapon just to subjugate Westeros and all her people!" He looks at something in shadow as its eyes were glowing due to the camera catching it. "Perhaps it's time to return to Liesel with the ground forces, for Shion and her friends will be in for a rude awakening! As for Sam Winchester, he will soon face his worst enemy on this space clunker after he ruined my chance to destroy Raithwall!"
"That son-of-a-bitch!" yelled Rowena as she was appalled by what she heard. "He's luring Samuel into a trap just to go toe-to-toe with Sawney Masbath!"
"And look at his little friend on t.v.," said Nibori as the shadowy figure changed into Lorne. "Looks like the guy in the Executive Division is using a lowerling for bait and we all know that lowerlings often shed their skin once their primary appearance is compromised. I read it in Skin in which one changed into the Dean Winchester of Old in the Elder Days once before he got killed."
"And the real Lorne flew the coop just to set a trap for Sawney Masbath, but this is no ordinary trap indeed." Rowena clenches her fists as she had a fierce loathing for the latter in question. "Sawney Masbath is a monster who caused so much misery to the victims he blackmailed, only to steal from us witches."
"And the one who set him up is launching an attack on the Order's main headquarters on Westeros. As for our 'gentleman blackmailer,' he has a vendetta against Sam and he's so gonna have to watch his back…"
It wasn't long until Rowena spotted a communications panel as she ran towards it and turned it on in which she relayed a message to the Order of a possible impending attack in the headquarters on Westeros. She didn't want anyone else to suffer from the Executive Division as she also had her own vendetta against them for starting this ongoing war in the first place.
"Ye better get my message, Lady Shion…," she said as she delivered it to where it needed to go.
Sawney made his way to the room where the infamous torture device that was intentionally made for me just to harness my raw power. He saw Lorne tampering with the lock of silver hair that was in a vial as he was not having it when it came to him causing destruction on Westeros. He wanted him to cease and desist as he was after me just to wreak his vengeance against me, for he was getting fed up with the constant meddling on all sides.
"You're kind of busy," he said as he saw Lorne hard at work.
"I'm here to cause hell on Westeros and kill the one with raw power," he said.
"Sam Winchester is mine to kill and no other, got it?! He's humiliated me for the last time and no one will stand in my way!"
"I'd like to see you try it… for a spoiled brat who steals things from witches, that is…"
Sawney fished out a hex bag as he was ready to throw it at Lorne, but something was happening to him on the spot. The appearance of him changed as his head unraveled and began to turn into a maw in which he was ready to get rid of Lorne altogether. By the time he used his maw to decapitate him, the sight of Lorne was no more as Sawney saw his headless corpse on the floor. Spotting the vial that had the silver hair, he destroyed it as he was waiting for me to arrive into his trap. With such exuberance, he was ready to jettison Lorne's carcass as he touched at the hand in which the skin from it began to shed off from the body. The real Lorne tricked him as he wasn't too happy with him for using a lowerling for a stand-in on the sly, for he wanted to gut him directly for this mundane form of bait and switch.
"That bastard!" he yelled. "How dare that insolent pup lure me here on this old piece of shit clunker?!"
Sawney saw an image of Lorne on screen as he wasn't too thrilled that the latter pulled the infamous bait and switch. He was itching to take him out when this debacle was done as he noticed the member of the Executive Division appear on screen in which he was laughing at the results that he procured in which he was exuberant into luring the blackmailer here on the Sol-3. Sawney was itching to up and strangle him as he was also ready to take him out the moment he got out of the satellite, for he was seething with rage after being lured here in the first place.
"Damn you, Lorne!" he yelled.
"Don't be mad at me, Sawney," he said as he was seen getting out of the escape pod that he fled in.
"You think that this is a fucking joke, but I'm not the one who's absolutely laughing at this moment!"
"You're right, but I lured your sworn enemy here after I abducted his brother and used him as bait to trap the prey."
"And what makes you think that he can bow down to your shitty group?" He sees an image of me on a different screen as I was trapped in the inner workings of the Sol-3 before the camera got destroyed. "Looks like I hit the jackpot and revenge has never been so sweet in a long time. You made my day, Lorne, but it also seems that your bait has also flown the coop." An image of an empty cell where Dean was appeared on screen as Sawney noticed the vent opened up. "This is so not fair using the vent!"
"As soon as you kill the two birds with one proverbial stone, I have prior engagements to attend to at this time. My horde of soldiers are on their way to the Order's main headquarters on Westeros and they'll stop at nothing to eliminate Shion and her cronies! Go for the gold, baby!"
The screen with Lorne turned off as Sawney was waiting for the moment to strike in the Sol-3. Project Amaterasu was something that had to be shut down as he was also starting to change form the moment his head changed into a twisted maw before reverting to his normal form again. He was waiting for me to come into the room with the torture machine as he was like a snake waiting to devour a rodent, for he was exuberant into getting his vengeance against me one slow step at a time…
Shion was in her office as she was getting multiple reports about the dangerous activities that the Executive Division was concocting up. Still, she had to make due after she saw a report of Dean being abducted in which she had a gut feeling that Lorne planned a trap for me on the Sol-3. To her shock, she saw Castiel rushing into her office as he was riding on Barca in which he was desperate to warn her about what was about to happen, for this wasn't the end of the Executive Division's cruelty so far.
"You need to park your mutt outside, Castiel," she said as she saw him get off of Barca's back.
"Lady Shion, this is a grave emergency," he said.
"I already got wind of Dean getting abducted by Lorne Eichenberg, but whatever's going on next should be reported on the spot."
"A horde of soldiers is arriving to the Order's main headquarters here. Your people should be armed and ready to fight this battle."
It wasn't long until Shion look out the window as she saw a horde of soldiers from the Executive Division encroaching on the Order's main headquarters on Westeros. She had a gut feeling that they would destroy this place like the one on Alecrast as she rushed towards an alarm and turned it on the moment it was heard blaring. When she heard Barca growling, she had a gut feeling that some of the soulless dolls from the horde have broken through as she even spotted the Ketch machines climbing on the walls of the adjoining buildings within the Order's main headquarters. With his sword drawn, Castiel was ready to join the battle as he got on Barca's back and left Shion's office in which they saw some of the soulless dolls in the way.
"You are an enemy of the Executive Division," they said in unison as they had their weapons pointed. "You will surrender or be killed."
"No, it is you who will surrender," said Castiel as he rode on top of Barca.
At that moment, the soulless dolls were no match for Barca as the warg charged through them like a bowling ball striking a set of bowling pins. He had to protect the Order's main headquarters on Westeros as he rode Barca towards the infirmary wing the moment he saw members of the Medical Corps wheeling a corpse into one of the rooms towards a furnace for cremation. Getting off of Barca, Castiel noticed a reaper that was dressed in goth clothing and crimped hair standing next to the women's room as she was disappointed that she hadn't reaped the corpse yet, for she felt cheated out of doing so.
"There's something wrong, isn't there?" said Castiel.
"Yeah, there is," said the reaper. "I tried to reap that Orc who just died, but it seems that something has kept him from dying!"
Without warning, the corpse that was wheeled towards one of the rooms sat up as Castiel had a gut feeling that Gethig was resurrected due to what made him like that in the first place. The reaper, however, wasn't amused as she was aware that something else saved him from death as she was ready to wait for another chance to reap him the moment she left.
"He's all yours, Cass," she said. "Go get 'im, tiger!"
Castiel saw Gethig sit up as he noticed an imprint of raw power on his shoulder. It was a shock to see the Orc alive again as he was fully healed in which it piqued Reuben when he saw him standing. Even though everyone was on alert, most of the soldiers in the four units of the Order had to stand their ground as Castiel and Barca were ready to fight the next wave. As for Gethig, on the other hand, he was standing still as Reuben had a gut feeling that he was back to life, for the imprint of raw power was something that couldn't be ignored.
"Am I in the Grey Havens?" he asked.
"No, but you hanging around Sam must've gave you an edge just to cheat death just now," said Reuben. "No wonder the reaper didn't reap your corpse."
"Sam must have given him an imprint of raw power," said Castiel. "Sooner or later, he will heed the call to aid us against our enemies."
"It's those buckets of bolts!" yelled Gethig as he saw the Ketch machines inching towards the windows. "They're big trouble and not stopping!"
"Reuben, get everyone to the underground tunneling system. It's not safe for your patients or your unit."
"Copy that," he said as he directed the other members of the Medical Corps out of the way.
The battle to stop the horde attacking the Order's main headquarters on Westeros was getting monotonous as Castiel drew out his sword the moment he got onto Barca's back and fled out of the infirmary wing. As for Gethig, on the other hand, he grabbed a sheet as he wrapped it around his hospital gown like a toga in which he noticed an axe that was near the bathrooms. Picking it up, he was ready to go into battle as he had to protect everyone in the Order, for their onslaught was just the tip of the iceberg in this ongoing war. It wasn't long until he spotted one of the Ketch machines as it broke through one of the windows the moment it was ready to attack. Gethig wasn't phased by their design as he was ready to cleave the intruder with the axe in his hand. Just as he was about to do so, he noticed the imprint of raw power glowing as he used the axe to destroy the Ketch machine in which it shattered into many pieces. With several more coming, he decided to destroy them one at a time as the imprint of raw power made him more powerful the moment he caused them to shatter just like the one he destroyed earlier.
"I've got an axe and I'm not afraid to use it!" he yelled as he wasn't about to throw in the towel.
Gethig was grateful that he stopped the Ketch machines as he held the axe in his hands. He was glad that he served a greater purpose into helping those in need as the time to defend the Order's main headquarters on Westeros was hanging by a thread, for there were those who would protect it till the bitter end in this ongoing war...
I was in the inner workings of the Sol-3 as I found myself in the heart of it. Before sabotaging the system, I saw a camera on the wall as I used my raw power to destroy it in which I resumed my task the moment I saw a console that powered the Sol-3. With the codes put into it, I saw the computer system overriding the whole satellite as I was most likely to be rescuing Dean and getting out of here with Nibori and Rowena in tow after this. I had my work cut out for me as the time to shut down Project Amaterasu was already in fruition in which I was ready to reunite with everyone and flee this old place. I couldn't let anyone down this time as I was thinking about my family and friends who were wanting the Sol Project to be scrapped completely.
"And so, another part of the Sol Project is sabotaged," I said as I was ready to leave. "After this, it'll be Project Helios and that is that."
I was ready to regroup as I had to rescue Dean and unite with Nibori and Rowena in which the time to destroy Project Amaterasu was almost over. Just as I was about to do so, I heard something creeping in the vents as I saw Dean emerge out of it the moment he was happy to see me. Even though he found me, our battle wasn't over as we also had to deal with whoever was on the Sol-3, for we weren't alone here on this satellite.
"Well, Sammy, we got work to do," he said to me.
