Do I have to say it? Fine. I own nothing except... no wait nothing. Not even any of the songs. Dang.
Oh well, here is the next chapter. Enjoy!
Ghost of Archangels Past
Dean POV
"Do you think he's alright?" I asked Sam while I loaded the Impala with our stuff. He just shrugged.
"I don't know Dean. I mean, I think Gabriel and him had a closer bond out of all the angels. And it's only been two weeks. He's been gone for longer. Look, If you're really that worried why don't you pray for him?" He suggested in that calm logic that he always seemed to have. I just huffed.
"So where do we start looking for Pestilence anyway?" I asked starting the car. Sam sighed tiredly.
"Bobby said he had some info that might get us on the right track." I turned on the radio and raced toward Singer Salvage. When we were half way there I decided to try to start a conversation.
"So how are we going to get Lucifer into the hole once we open it anyway?" I asked Sam before a voice interrupted from the back seat.
"You're not. Change in plans, boys. You and Samsquatch are coming with me." It said and before I could even blink we were in some sort of bar. In the center there was a round stage with a microphone. All the tables surrounded it except on the north side where the actual bar was. It had a red and black color scheme with a spot light shining onto the center of the stage.
"Where are we?" Sam asked taking in the place. I shrugged.
"You're in one of Gabriel's alternate universes. We have come to retrieve you before he could do something stupid." Michael said appearing out of nowhere with Lucifer behind him.
"Right. And we're supposed to believe you why?" I asked warily.
"Because they're telling the truth Dean-o. Too bad they are powerless here. It's my world so only I have any power." Gabriel said walking onto the stage. Michael walked over and placed his fingers on our foreheads possibly trying to zap Sam and me out of there, but I couldn't be sure because nothing happened.
"Let us go, Gabriel." Michael ordered but Gabriel just smiled and summoned a baseball cap with strips of paper in it.
"Lets see who my first victim is." He said reaching his hand into the hat.
"Hey, what do you know, it's Mikey." He said then snapped and the Michael and him both vanished while Lucifer appeared in the seat to my left.
"Our first star to night is the beautiful Michaelle!" Gabriel said poofing back onto the stage in an announcer get-up. Michael, or should I say Michaelle, appeared next to him in a floor length silver ball gown and silver stilettos. Surprisingly, he didn't look half bad. Lucifer let out a whistle at his brother appearance which earned him a say-anything-and-I'll-smite-you bitchface that look a lot like Sammy's #64 bitchface.
"She'll be singing Halo by Beyonce." Gabriel interrupted and gave Michael a challenging look. Michael sighed and started to sing.
Remember those walls I built?
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But, I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm taking
I ain't never gonna shut you out!
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
Halo, ooh ooh...
Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't begin to pull me back to the ground again
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm taking
I'm never gonna shut you out!
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
I pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
Halo, ooh ooh...
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
Halo, ooh ooh...
Halo, ooh ooh...
Halo, ooh ooh, oh...
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
I pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
Halo, ooh oh...
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
Halo, ooh oh...
When Michael finished we all burst into applause. He did extremely well for having to sing a girl song. Gabriel snapped and Michael switched places with Lucifer, back in his t-shirt and jeans. Lucifer was also in a t-shirt and jeans, though his jeans had rips giving off a almost punk look.
"Okay. Now Lucifer will be preforming Lost by Coldplay." Gabriel announced before giving the mic to Lucifer.
Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I'm across
Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved
No better and no worse
I just got lost!
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Oh and I'm just waiting til the shine wears off
You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come
A bigger one
And you'll be lost!
Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Oh and I'm just waiting til the firings stopped
Oh and I'm just waiting til the shine wears off
Yeah
...just waiting til the... the... yeah
Aha, I gotcha, uh...
With the same sword they knight you, they gonna good night you with
Shit, that's only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Ralphy, see Castiel
See Balthy, see Anna, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas
See Caesar, see Brutus, see success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified
Media meddles, people sue you, you settle
Every step you take, they remind you you're ghetto
So it's tough being the Devil
To be Good then, you have to be Good now
And the question is, "Is to have had and lost
Better than not having at all?"
Because I'm...
Oh and I'm just waiting til the shine wears off
Oh and I'm just waiting til the shine wears off
I was speechless when he finished with a glance toward Michael. He had sung with a lot of passion and you could tell he meant what he said. I was surprisingly having a good time so far, especially after Gabriel had zapped us all drinks. Well at least until Gabe winked at me and I took Lucifer's spot on stage.
"Oh no! No way! I'm not singing!" I protested starting to leave the stage but Gabriel appeared in front of me.
"Now Dean we can do this the hard way and you will hate this, or the easy way and I'll go easy on you. Your choice." He said lightly. I looked at him for moment before sighing.
"The easy way." I conceded and he smiled.
"Dean-o here will be singing Just Another Star by Bullet for My Valentine." He called and I started Singing the lyrics as they showed up on the small screen I hadn't noticed was in the floor in front of me.
This is what I can see through my eyes,
This is the color of your sunrise,
This is what I can see through your eyes,
Jump, jump, jump, jump,
Can you see the light behind these eyes,
Jump, jump, jump, jump,
Eyes, you've betrayed me for the last time.
You betrayed me for the last time,
Through the light I see the truth shine,
This is how I can see through your eyes,
Jump, jump, jump, jump
Can you see the light behind these eyes,
Jump, jump, jump, jump,
Can you see the light behind these,
Eyes, eyes, You've betrayed me for the last time.
You're just another star that's burnt out to quickly,
But I still see you, shining,
I'm just another guy that's fucked up immensely
But you still love me,
Why? I don't know!
This is what I see through my eyes,
Black is the color of your sunrise,
This is what I can see through my eyes,
This is the color of your, sunshine.
You're just another star that's burnt out to quickly,
But I still see you, shining,
I'm just another guy that's fucked up immensely
But you still love me,
Why? I don't know!
I finished thinking the song wasn't half bad and it definitely described me. Sam didn't even wait for Gabriel to call him he just hopped up on stage and waited for his song as I finished off my whiskey.
"That's the spirit Samsquatch! " Gabe said happily and Sam laughed.
"I just didn't want to end up like Michaelle over there." He said. Michael shot Gabriel a nasty look.
"I hate you." he grumbled. Gabriel smiled.
"Awww! I love you too Mike." He said sweetly then turned to Sam.
"Your song will be Gift of Flesh by Def Leppard." He said before heading off stage so Sam could start.
I am all destiny, a trade
A grain of sand
I am the lesson to be learned
I take the throat of innocence
And leave decay
I stain the way for all to see
No fear, no voice, no reason
In God no guiding light
When all the guilt that's in your head
Turns its back and plays for dead
You scorch the earth and torch the sky
Conscience low with head held high
Indulge and multiply
And sacrifice
As lack of breath chokes underground
Divulge degenerate
The darker side
From windows watch the screaming sky
[Repeat Chorus]
When all the guilt that's in your head
Turns its back and plays for dead
You scorch the earth and torch the sky
Conscience low with head held high
From all the truth comes all the shame
The curse of flesh just takes its aim
On hallowed ground and tortured sky
Walk in fear with spirits high
By the end of the song I had tears in my eyes but if anyone asks it was because of the dirt in the room. I could tell that Sam really felt that way by the passion he put into the song. Gabriel gave Sam a pat on the back as he walked off stage. Before Gabriel could come up with more song for us to sing he vanished. Then he reappeared on stage in a pink tutu with a shocked expression.
"Now Gabriel will sing the Cuppycake song for me since he decided to mess with the Winchesters after I told him not to." Castiel said from the back of the room. Gabriel sighed but complied.
You're my hunny bunch,
Sugar plum,
Pumpy-umpy-umpkin,
You're my sweetie pie,
You're my cuppy cake,
Gum drops,
Snoogums boogums you're,
The apple of my eye,
And I love you so and I want you to know,
That I'll always be right here,
And I love to sing, sweet songs to you,
Because you are so dear
When he finished Castiel zapped Sam and me over to Bobby's place.
"Wow, Cas. I never knew you had a sense of humor." I commented through my laughs.
"I don't, but Balthazar wanted to put a video of Gabriel on a website called YouTube and asked me to do it." He said casually.
"Hardy har har! You better get it all out now because this means war!" Gabriel said appearing in front of Cas back in his normal clothes. Castiel narrowed his eyes before saying
"I get Balthazar." Gabriel snorted in response.
"I get Michael."
"Lucifer."
"Raphael."
"Crowley."
"Alistair."
"Azazel."
"Sam."
"Dean"
"Bobby."
"Ruby."
"Meg."
"Anna."
"Zachariah."
"Fine."
"Fine!" Gabriel finished then disappeared.
"What was all that about?" I asked.
"We were picking teams. I get you, Balthazar, Lucifer, Crowley, Azazel, Ruby, and Anna. Gabriel gets the others." Castiel explained slowly.
"We're going to fight them?" I asked giving Sam a sideways glance. Castiel nodded.
"Yes, Gabriel has started a prank war." Castiel said seriously. I just gulped. This sounded bad, very bad.
So what do you think? Up next Sammy's POV then maybe Crowley's before I do Kali's? If you have any ideas don't be afraid to hit me up. And reviews are always welcome and appreciated.
