Robin0203: LOL you are most very welcome! Sorry it took so long but I am definitely back now!

Broken Twisted Lullabies:LOL Thank you so very much! I hope that this meets the expectations set! Its a bit of a filler so I'm not sure...I went back and redid it so many times and I think I finally got it down! Lucifer and Alex are definitely going to play a large part in the up coming chapters!

I'm so happy that it made sense! I noticed throughout the series that although they do it in different ways, when it really gets down to it, neither are that different from the other. Personally I felt really bad for Lucifer (and that may sound weird but oh well!) especially when he said that he had an older brother whom he idolized and that he HAD to do this, he HAD to and that was really what made me look at the similarities between the two sets of brothers! And when he got pissed when Cas Molotov'd Michael! The possibilities for them were endless and GAHHH I'M GUSHING! I already have their meeting in the works and the feels-its making me tear up every time I go through it!

LOL Oh yah-Apophis is really a bad guy and you'll soon find out! I kind of mangled with Egyptian Mythology here a bit but its a piece of Fiction so oh well! I'm still working out the kinks in Anubis's background and stuff which will be playing a roll in the coming up chapters but its coming along!

Thank you so much buddy! *HUGS ENTHUSIASTICALLY** I could say the same for you! When you let me have a few sneak peaks to Not an Archangel 2 I was like-this is going to be so good and there is no way she can make it any better then it is- but as always you have proven me wrong every single way! Every work you put out is amazingly done and always passes all expectations!

Danielle Ciascenti (Guest): Lol thank you so much for the review! I am sorry that it cut off you name, if there was a way for me to fix that you know I totally would! Between you and me I love his Jackal form too! And I will totally see what I can do with it!

Guest: Thank you for reviewing and I am so sorry to hear about that! Your in my prayers! I'm super thrilled that you like my Fic and hope that everything gets better for you soon-I'm only 18 so I have no idea what that must be like, but you are not alone! We can get through this together!

AN: So sorry it took me so long to finally get this updated! I have now just gotten to a point where I am somewhat happy about the flow of things and am still a bit nervous (so please go easy on me) and I promise to update more often now that everything here at home is calmed down!

YOU KNOW THE DRILL! THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE PRACTICED FOR PEOPLES! :D

"War doesn't determine who is right-only who is left."

~~Bertrand Russel

They all landed roughly in a darkened room sliding across the floor and groaning. The air was hot and dry with the taste of sand and dust in it that would take some time getting used to for the two Human tag-a-longs.

Azrael groaned as he twisted around onto Dante. Nero was whining across from him.

Alex slowly pushed herself up to her elbows and shook her head to clear it of the mind rattling impact.

Sam bit back a groan as his back cracked when he moved after such a landing. Rolling over onto his back slowly.

Anubis let out a low sound of pain as he pushed himself up only to fall back down weakly. It took a lot out of a young egyptain god to transport so many people from one place to another. Osiris made it look so easy.

He was going to be so pissed.

Slowly but surely they pushed themselves up, checking themselves over to make sure that they were still all together. Azrael was whispering to his hounds, lightly holding Nero's left paw in one hand as he slowly helped heal the wound. Alex unzipped her backpack to ensure all her belongings were still salvageable should their landing have damaged any of it.

Sam was rubbing at his head and looking around at the new surroundings to gain a sense of direction.

Anubis was sniffing the air walking further away from them for a moment to observe something they could not see.

"What were you guys thinking! Where even are we!"

Sam was hushed by a hand around his mouth, he wasn't sure when Anubis returned to his side but had had and now he was silencing him.

"We are in Egypt, but you must be silent. We are not alone."

Azrael was on high alert, keeping his hounds still with a simple raised hand.

"I am sorry for such a bumpy ride, but the last minute addition did us no favors. Come we must seek Thoth, he will know what to do."

He removed his hand from the Hunter's mouth as he turned in the other direction. Azrael was following right after him with his hounds on his heels and Alex was behind him. Sam rolled his eyes, looking around carefully before making to follow.

Egypt?

The smoke cleared almost instantly with the sand. The flames from the candles faded into nothing. Wicks completely used up. Dean looked around for his brother and when he failed to spot him he could feel panic begin to fill in. He never had a change to act though, Chuck breathing out a breath of rage and throwing his hands up making the house shake in its foundation.

God was pissed-not good.

Death looked at the markings on the floor carefully.

The three archangels, although worried for their brother and his friends back up behind their father. Not knowing what to do at this point.

They were gone, they were all gone.

Humming under his breath Death stood back up, bringing a hand up to rub at his chin thoughtfully. This was not good. Boundaries were being broken and things were taking a turn for the worse. Dean had made a comment the other night about things being unusually quiet recently and now he was beginning to under stand why. He turned to face Life as his face went grim.

"This is not good Life, he is attempting to unleash her and I fear that the children may have walked into his trap."

Chuck took the news and his mood turned darker. Thunder clapped out the window as lightning lit up the sky.

"We need an inside, we must get them back."

Death nodded, "Osiris, we have need of you."

There was a bright flash of light and a man stood before them, light forming the silhouette of their body. The light faded into stark white robes, golden ornaments, and long drawn back dark hair. His eyes flashed as he took in the markings painted across the floor.

"What has that mutt done now? He causes nothing but trouble."

They motioned the older Egyptian to an empty seat, having a feeling that telling him that his dear charge was running head first into what was to be assumed as a trap. Osiris made a face at the motion but followed none the less. Taking a seat he turned towards the older deities.

"Osiris, what has been happening in Egypt as of late?"

That brought the Egyptian out of his shell. His eyes widening at the question asked of him and he sighed heavily, bringing his hands up to rub at his face. Admittedly, things could have been better for them all. War was breaking out, a war that had been fought once before and had left them all as victims. It was the fight between good and evil and everyone was taking their sides.

"Things are...As they once were...He is trying to break the seals and even as we fight him he is gaining more and more allies."

"Apep, how far has he gotten?"

"Farther then he should ever get."

Death looked over at Chuck and they both shared a frown. Releasing her on the world would be dangerous. They both knew who they had given their keys to her prison to.

And both of them had just walked right into his hands.

Sam followed them silently.

He'd get his word in and when he did, oh, it would be an earful.

Anubis took a deep breath as he caught sight of his home. Things were scattered and destroyed, blood was spewed along the walls and linens were ruined. He growled lowly as he spotted something familiar. Running ahead of the others much to Sam's protest he kneeled down to gingerly pick up the red linen shaw that was laying haphazardly on the floor.

He pulled it up to his face with shaking hands, holding it to his nose as he inhaled the scent within it. He growled as he clenched his fists tightly. Azrael bent his head lowly in a sign of respect as Sam and Alex looked at him strangely. He shook his head before they could say anything, moving to stand next to them as to not interrupt his best friend.

"It belonged to Isis, she treated him as a son, she is gone."

Sam turned to look back at the Egyptian sadly, he knew what that was like, to lose a parental figure.

"He will pay a thousand times for his betrayal."

Anubis stood slowly. Allowing his hand to fall to his side. Without so much as looking back at the others he motioned for them to follow and began running again. They moved quickly to keep with him. They had to get to Thoth. Along the way of whatever path it was they were taking they met resistance. But before any of them could even consider laying a hand upon something that might be used as a weapon Anubis jumped in for them. Snarling like a jackal and kicking out in a fighting style they had never seen before. He was angry.

The path cleared rather easily for them as the god left no survivors to warn of their coming.

Rounding a corner Anubis promptly ran face first into someones chest. The others were able to catch themselves fast enough and Sam scrambled forward to catch the jackal god before he could fall to the ground. Before them stood a tall man, taller then any human they had ever met, with bright white hair. Wings sprouted from his back arched over his head in alarm and a poise to attack should he need to. Around his waist was a long dress and cuffs of silk draped down and over his arms. Eyes were drawn to the golden headdress he wore.

Gold eyes watched their movements, matching them carefully.

Anubis rubbed at his forehead as he turned to gaze up at the man.

They made eye contact and both smiled.

"Thoth!"

"Anpu!"

The skinny teen god launched himself from Sam's grip at the large man. He was caught in mid jump and swung up in the air. The man laughed hearty as he swung the smaller god up into the air both overcome with excitement at seeing one another again. Anubis smiled, canines flashing, his excitement palpable.

Him and Thoth went way back.

"I am happy to see you're safe! In one piece as you should be!"

"The same could be said for you!"

They smiled together as the large man set Anubis back down on his own two feet, rubbing his hair fondly. Alex exchanged looks with Azrael and they shared a small smile. Sam cleared his throat. Anubis ducked under the others arm as he reached back out to tug at his ear turning back to face the needy hunter.

"What now?"

Sam made a motion and he seemingly got it, nodding he turned and smacked a flat hand against the larger gods midriff. Thoth seemed unbothered by it even as he reached up and rubbed at the spot with his hand.

"Watch yourself mutt."

Anubis grinned a smile of sharp teeth and the other rolled his eyes.

"This is Thoth, god of wisdom, among other things. He will know how to get us where we seek to go. He is...An arbitrator between the light and the dark, a mediator. He knows what we will need to know."

Sam was surprised when the large god nodded his head at what the younger was saying, reaching a hand out to the hunter to shake. He seems almost surprised by the sign of silent respect from the god that Thoth raises an eyebrow when he hesitates. Reaching out cautiously with his hand Sam takes it in grasp and shakes it softly as if waiting for his better judgement to be proven right.

"Despite what you and yours might think, we are not all monsters."

Thoth grips his hand tightly and shakes it with vigor. Its said that you can know more about a man by the way he shakes your hand then by actually speaking at first appearances. Sam nods in agreement slow as if still a bit on edge.

Honestly, he wanted to be raving at the three for bringing them here. At Anubis for being so reckless. But he also had a feeling that if he didn't get the chance to do so that their Fathers would do so for him. Anubis watched them both with a raised eyebrow and varying amounts of amusement. Shaking his head the hound turned back to face his fellow god to begin their mission once more.

"I need your help."

"With what?"

"Apep."

Thoth's face fell completely.

Chaos excused himself when another man ran in to alert him of something that had happened whilst he was messing with their prisoners. He kicked Michael harshly in the shoulder as he passed. Bobby and Jody watched silently as the Archangel grunted but did not move from their side. When their prison door was slammed shut once more, only then did he finally move.

Bobby turned as he followed the angel with his eyes as he fell backwards onto his butt. His back landing against the wall with a thump and a grimace as he gently began massaging his wrists. He hissed as he prodded at the holes through his wrists. Jody was staring at his massive wings in awe, even in the state they were they were still a sight to see.

When he felt eyes on him the Archangel looked up. Bobby refused to look down and Michael was an archangel, seemingly not intimidated by Chaos and therefore a mere human had no affect on his flight of fight either.

"So you're the one who wanted to destroy Earth and Humanity?"

Michael shook his head, grimacing as he reached a hand up to rub at his sore neck.

"Why would I destroy Humanity? We are to love them, are we not?"

"That's not what it seemed like when you were tryin' to get Dean to give you the magic 'Yes'."

Michael nodded this time, "I understand, but you do not. Earth and Humanity...While I do not favor you over my little brothers and sisters I do not wish destruction upon you. You have been fed an image that I wish you all death but you could not be farther from the truth."

"Enlighten me then Boy."

Sighing the Archangel crossed his legs and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees softly, "Robert Singer, you do not like me and mine, yes? But would you wish total devastation on all of us simply because we do not share your favor? I do not favor Humans, that much is true, but it is not mine to choose whether you thrive or not, should that not be up to you, decisions concerning your own life? I am the Commander and the Sword but I am not an executioner, please remember the difference. As much as I can bleed my enemy, I can also protect those in my charge. I do not favor Humanity but I will offer protection when it is asked for.

Humans are slobs, gluttonous, greedy, dirty, and dark."

Jody looked mildly offended and she made to tell him just that but he silenced her with a single raised hand.

"But in all of that, you do shine brighter then any angel ever could, even my dear Halel. For even though you are all of those things, you are also kind, understanding, giving, and most of all you have the ability to see your mistake and grow upon it. If I were to have any opinion on Humanity that you would want to place in words, it is not hatred Robert, it is intrigue. I have been around for a long time, before time was even a concept. I have raised many angels and aided in the raising of many others, but never before have I seen one being that could be so disobedient but so loyal all in the same breath. You can allow yourself to harm another, but when someone else comes in to do as such, you do not allow it."

He leaned back gingerly, "So, no, I do not hate Humanity. My wanting to get Dean's approval had nothing, and everything, to do with Humanity as a whole. You are a young species, barely an adolescent on the timeline, why would I wish to destroy you when you have barely began to even tap into your full potential?"

Bobby shut his mouth after that, watching as the Archangel leaned back against the wall with his eyes closed. Despite his position he had a feeling that should the need arise, he was full and ready to jump at anything that came there way.

"And even if he will not agree to the same to the face of another, Lucifer does not hate Humanity either."

"Right, next you're gonna tell me that he really loves everyone! Jus' wants to be buddy buddy, right?"

Michael's lips twitched, "If you were ever to say that in his presence he would be more likely to run you through, no that is not what I meant either. Just trust me Robert, when the time comes he can truly surprise you with his loyalties."

He relaxed against the wall tiredly.

"Sam and Dean know each other well, no? And they have only known one another for a measly 30 odd years give or take a few. Me and My brother have known each other for centuries, longer then the word has been around, we were the first two, before the creation of anything, playing together under our Father's light at his feet as he created and sculpted, I know my brother like the back of my hand, so trust me when I tell you that Lucifer is not your enemy. Not for the reason you see him as."

In the way he spoke it was clear to both humans that his adoration for his brother remained as strong as it ever was. He loved his brother deeply and the sorrow in his voice that he attempted so hard to hide simply showed how much he missed him.

More then anything.

"Why would you ever want to know about him?"

Anubis looked back to share an exchange with his best friend. Azrael shrugged from where he stood, honestly they were already dead should they be turned around here and now so they really had nothing left to lose. The younger Egyptian looked back at his kin and rubbed a hand over his forehead. The angel of death leaned over on his other foot.

"He has my brother."

Thoth looked over Anubis's head at his companions and his eyes promptly widened. A mortal, a hunter, and an angel marked by death. He had started war among the Pyramid but to start war with Amun and his children that was practically suicide. And kidnapping one of his angels? That was a death wish in writing. What an occasion. Nodding the wisdom god turned slightly and motioned for them to follow. Obediently they were right on his heels.

"He is amassing an army, planning on releasing Amun's sister from her bindings."

"Wait but I thought-"

Without so much as looking back at the hunter Thoth answered his question before he had even finished it.

"Your God has many names hunter; Yahweh, Amun, Allah, Elohim. It does not matter which he goes by nor which is the real one. There is no saying that any of us know his true name other than him, but he is the same everywhere. He creates everything."

They turned a sharp corner and Sam nodded, not knowing that certain beings had different names in other religions. He figured it would be as such but he was not a religion expert either. Azrael bumped him in the shoulder to gain his attention.

"According to different beliefs and the many many religions you humans have come up with we all have different roles. In some Lucifer is a fallen Archangel, others a cherub, and in many he is simply The Fallen. Just as Gabriel is the Messenger in some and the Angel of Final Judgement in others, both in most cases. We all have different names but when it comes down to it we all have the same job."

Thoth continued on as if he had not been interrupted.

"But as I was saying, he is gathering an army for battle. The Pyramid as it is has been split. Some are siding with him and others with Amun. To unleash that beast upon the world, as far as I have ever heard it would be much worse then can be allowed. No one has ever met Her in person other then those who were there; the original Three, but everyone knows of Her and Her prison."

The ground shook hard. Thoth reacted fast in pulling Anubis and Alex down to the floor with him. Sam followed his lead as he practically tackled Azrael to the floor. Dante and Nero whined lowly as they crawled down onto their soft belly's. Dust fell from the roof above them and something crumbled out the large window they were near as a large dark shadow fell over it slithering passed.

"What was that!"

The elder god peered up silently before turning back and whispering, "Like I said, he has gathered allies, releasing Ammit from her chains in the Underworld he has the demons at his command for as long as he wishes."

They waited a good ten more minutes before carrying on. Crawling along the wall on the floor down the large hallway. The ran across the courtyard hidden as best as they could by the shadows. Alex was panting behind him, not from tiredness but from fear as she swore the large snake made eye contact with her. It made no moves to come after her so she focused in that moment to calm her breathing down.

"This way! Some of the others have gathered, the ones on Amun's side, and after that we can search for your brother."

Azrael nodded at his off hand assurance as he made hand movements to his Hounds to scope out the next unusually clear courtyard. He would get Michael, take the scolding awaiting with his eldest brother, and head back to Dad's side of safety. Apophis would not dare harm them in Dad and Papa's presence. He was not that stupid and he was too much of a coward.

Thoth pushed a set of doors open and inside waiting for them was a small mass of other deities. Azrael recognized a few of them from the time he had spent with Anubis and Osiris. His Egyptian counterpart examined those in front of them carefully before nodding along at those who had taken their side. Most of these made sense in very specific ways. Sam and Alex stood behind them still not sure as to how to respond to so many unknown deities in one place.

The wisdom god waved a hand around the assorted kin, "Anput, Isis, Ma'at, Ptah, Ra, and myself are aligned with Amun. Apophis must not succeed in freeing his Creator. As far as we know he has allies on his council that will challenge us in every fight. What we have gathered is that Set and Sobek had aided him in freeing himself from Ra's bindings. Sekhmet and Serqet have sworn to aid him in all his doings. Kuk is all but ready to begin the unraveling. He has the demon Ammit on his side as well Anubis, I know this to be a personal offence to you and your realm."

His jackal ears twitched in concealed rage. It was indeed an insult to him for Ammit to do as she was. But it was one he was choosing to ignore this detail at the moment for his dearest friend to get his brother back. He had had the chance to witness them begin to build upon the ruined relationship before being convinced to bring them here and he really wanted to give them all that chance to continue including the Eldest of them all.

"They have the Lion and we need to get him back."

Thoth nodded, leading them to a table in the center of the room. They followed close behind and the planning was begun.

They all looked up at the cell door was thrown open and one a guard with the head of a crocodile threw a small figure inside before slamming the door shut behind him. The small child jumped to their feet quickly as they ran at the stone door slamming his hands flat against the solid granite.

"No! Let me out! I want my daddy! Daddy will get you cousin and when he does he's gonna destroy you!"

The child's voice cracked softly but it was audible. When it was clear that no one was taking the bait of the boys father coming he stopped and his little hands fell to his sides. He turned slowly to look a the other occupants of the cell. Jody was drawn almost instantly to the torn skin around his little wrists and her rage boiled at the thought of anyone harming a child of his age. Although from his attire he appeared to be one of the egyptian gods they weren't sure which one and his physical form only looked to be the age of six.

Bobby watched him carefully but made no movements otherwise.

His eyes were immediately drawn to Michael's wings that although injured were still a sight to see. He smiled at the sight of them startling the three of them.

"You have wings! Me too!"

Michael smiled at the child, despite his position and title he always had a soft spot within his grace for little ones. He flexed his right wing gently, flicking it out to the child in front of them. Although they were imprisoned he was still happy to be able to draw a few giggles from the child as his wing tips brushed against his little belly. Soft sounds of leather on rock filled their cell as the boy ran across the floor to plop himself down next to the larger person.

His young mind seemingly ignored the predicament they were in at the moment as he made himself a new friend.

The angel smiled down at him softly.

"My names Horus, what's yours?"

"Mine is Michael little one, its a pleasure to meet you."

The boy giggled at him, scrunching up on himself, "You talk funny!"

He smiled again at the boy chuckling despite himself.

"I could say the same for you."

Horus smiled at him, quieting down a bit as his hand absentmindedly came up to scratch at his wrist. Jody looked as if she was about to make a move to stop him from doing such an action as she was half way pushed up from the wall, but she froze at the Archangel's movement before she was able to get there herself. Horus let out a sound of confusion when a large hand closed over his little ones.

"Don't scratch at your wounds little one, it will do more harm then good."

It amazed the older hunter to no end when, despite his weakened state, the Archangel pressed two fingers to the boys wrists gently and they all watched in fascination as the wounds closed up on themselves and the blood dried itself up. Horus's face was one of shock as he twisted his little hands around to look for the chaffing wounds that had been there only moments ago. While the boy was distracted they watched as the angel pressed a free hand to his temple and he took a near silent breath. The smile was back in place when the boy looked back up at him.

"You fixed me! Thank you mister! I wish there was a way for me to aid you as well.."

Michael smiled at him, lifting him up under the arms randomly and pulled him up into his lap. Wrapping his arms around the child's front he pulled him back into his chest. Horus was still at such a motion unsure as to how to respond.

"You seem to be rather warm, and as it would be I seem to be rather cold, I think I know of a way you could aid me little one."

Horus smiled at him as he leaned backwards into the large chest behind him. Happy that he was able to help the nice man after he had helped him with his own wounds. Michael vowed to protect the child he held near his grace, he had failed his youngest dearest brother but he would make up for it.

Now.

With Horus.

Osiris buried his head in his hands not willing to look up at the other men.

"They came to me...Seeing as to my connections to the underworld and Anubis...Tried to get me to fight on their side in the war that Apophis is creating and when I denied them they did not take kind to it..."

Chuck set a hand on the distraught egyptian's shoulder rubbing it gently. Out of the two of them (not including their sister for obvious reasons) he had always been the best when it came to emotions, therefore it was a wise choice for him to be the one to have all the children.

"What happened?"

"The came after My Love, she fought valiantly but she was no match and they knew this well, they cut her down trying to reach our son. Horus will now know the pain of growing up without a mother. I choose to remain neutral for all the wars that have been fought and in my doing so it has cost me my wife and my son."

Gabriel frowned, "They took your child too?"

He had always had a soft spot for the young ones as that was the reason that he had been chosen to watch the Christ Child while he was on the Earth. Osiris nodded and if it was possible at this point he seemed to crumble to pieces at the very mention of his boy.

"Yes...He has Horus...I have been told that if I side with him I may have my child back...But..."

He did not want to betray his conscience and in the same breath he was willing to do anything to get his son back.

Anything.

Alrighty! So Apophis and his have been busy! They've killed and kidnapped! Who is Horus? Will he get to see his dad again? Will Thoth be able to help them find Michael? Anubis is at an edge, what will he do? Who will Apophis want? Azrael knows Michael is there, but where? They have allies? And an apparent War? Chuck is well known? Does Michael know what has been going on? What's is yet to come? Will Osiris get to see his son again?

And what happened to those Leviathan? Now that you think about it, haven't they all been sort of quiet?

What is exactly going down here as we reach our climax?
