Chapter 4
Kick it up a Notch
Megan watched as Dean hung up his cell phone. She was currently spinning in a swivel chair, waiting for everyone to finish getting their stuff together. Megan, who had Angel powers, really didn't need a weapon but took the Demon killing knife just in case.
"Bobby's not coming." He told her while everyone started to come into the kitchen.
"Why?" Sam asked, two shotguns in his hands. He quickly threw one over to his brother, Dean catching it with ease.
"Told me he was too old to be climbing mountains. He says good luck though." Dean said as he started loading rock salt shells into the shotgun.
Megan nodded then noticed Gabriel sulking in the corner of the kitchen. "Still mad about this, huh?" she asked.
Gabriel looked up from the floor and nodded. "I hate those dick heads."
"Why?" Megan asked again, not learning from the first time she asked.
Gabriel stayed silent and turned his gaze back to the floor. Megan could just barely see a sad glint in his eyes. What had The Powers done?
"What now?" Jinx asked when they were all in the room.
"We call The Powers." Sam said and looked up. "Uh, Powers can you, uh-."
"YO, GET YOUR ASSES DOWN HERE! WE'RE READY!" Megan yelled, interrupting Sam.
Megan heard the flutter of wings as the three Angels appeared in front of them. The three were now looking at Megan who was now standing with the group instead of sitting on the chair.
"You are going to wear that?" Exarp asked with a little laugh.
Megan raised an eyebrow and looked down at her current outfit. She was wearing her Pikachu shirt, jean shorts, and converse. She found this perfectly acceptable considering it was summer.
"Yeah…why?" she asked.
"It's Mt. Everest. You'll freeze." The Angel of Air pointed out.
"Oh…" Megan said, a little embarrassed that she had forgotten that piece of information. She quickly snapped her fingers to change her outfit. She now had on her green jacket, jeans, gloves, and her favorite Gryffindor hat.
"Seriously? The Gryffindor hat? It's been a year since the last movie came out. Seriously, after all this time?" Gabriel asked, probably being annoyed by everything now that The Powers were here.
"Always." Megan said, trying so hard not cry.
Everyone just shrugged the comment off, not really understanding why she was so sad. Megan would have to make them all watch the movies until they understood the magic that was Harry Potter.
"Okay, let's get this show on the road." Dean said and the three Angels nodded. A second later they were no longer standing in the kitchen. They were standing in snow, looking up at Mt. Everest in all its glory. It was snowing, of course, and they were standing in front of what looked like an old archway.
"Why is there a frigging archway on Mt. Everest?" Megan asked, shivering.
"What archway?" Sam asked, looking around.
Megan raised an eyebrow. "Dude, it's right in front of you." She said.
"Humans cannot see the archway. And once any supernatural creature passes through it there powers will be temporarily disabled. Including you and Angels. The archway is the only way for Demons, Angels, etc., to get to Mt. Everest. The whole mountain has an invisible shield around it." Exarp explained. This was the most he had ever talked before.
Megan nodded. So, the Angels, Skin Walker, and chosen one started walking towards the archway while Sam and Dean just started walking straight through the invisible barrier that didn't block them out.
Before stepping through the archway Megan examined it a bit more. It was old and made of stone, like most archway. But there was something that stood out to her. Etched into the stone was 'Non occides'.
"What does this mean?" she asked, pointing at the words.
"It means 'Thou shalt not kill' in Latin." Castiel answered.
Megan turned to Exarp, who was already far ahead of them. "Hey, did you write this here?" she asked.
Exarp sighed and walked back over to see what Megan had been pointing at. "No, I didn't." he said then continued walking up the mountain.
Megan nodded, looking at the words one more time before passing through the archway. Once she passed under it she felt…different. Like when her Grace was gone. She was powerless for the time being.
"So, we seriously have to climb to the top of freaking Mt. Everest?" Dean asked, looking very annoyed.
Exarp shook his head. "Follow me. I made a short cut." He said then stated walking to one of the rock walls. The group looked at each other then followed.
They trekked through the snow until they reached a side of the mountain. Exarp started knocking on the rock and putting his ear up to it, as if looking for something. After a few moments he grinned as if he found what he was looking for. He pushed and the rock moved like a door, revealing a box like structure inside the wall of the mountain.
"Is that a…elevator?" Sam asked, peering inside.
"Yup. It can take us to the top of Mt. Everest in about a minute flat." Exarp said.
"Holy Charlie and the Chocolate factory, Batman." Megan said, peering inside the small elevator.
"Let's see, there are ten of us so we can go five at a time. It will be a tight fit, but it will work." Exarp said, looking at the group then looking at the elevator. "Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you. The Tablet may not be in the spot I had last put it. I designed the Tablets area so that it can change, making traps or confusing whoever went after it. Keep an eye out."
Megan nodded and headed inside the elevator first. It looked like a regular elevator, but instead of a bunch of buttons with floor numbers on it, it just had two buttons. One with an up arrow and one with a down arrow. Sam, Dean, Castiel, and Gabriel filled in after her, forcing her to be squished in the back of the elevator.
"Please keep your hands and feet inside the elevator at all times. Oh, and you might want to hold on to something." Exarp said before the elevator doors closed. The five looked at each other, unsure of what was going to happen. Dean shrugged and pressed the up button. But nothing happened.
"Maybe it's-." Dean started but was cut off when the elevator shot up, going as fast as possible.
Megan held onto the hand rail that wrapped around the elevator as well as everyone else. It felt like a ton of bricks were pushing her down to the floor but she kept her balance up right. And just like Exarp said, a minute later the elevator stopped and the doors opened.
Everyone stumbled out of the elevator, Sam and Dean holding their stomachs. Megan was surprisingly not sick along with Gabe and Cas. It was probably because they were still Angels and she was still the chosen one even if there powers were temporarily disabled. After they were all out of that metal death trap the doors closed and rock covered the wall once more.
"That. Was. AWESOME!" Megan said, throwing her hands up in the air. "Let's do it again!"
"Let's not." Dean said, leaning on the side of the mountain.
Right after he said that the rock moved and the doors of the elevator opened again and Oro, Luna, Exarp, Balthazar, and Jinx came filing out.
"So, where is it?" Gabriel asked, looking around.
"Yup there." Exarp said, pointing to a little hill not too far away from them.
"Awesome." Megan said and they all started walking towards the hill. She quickly took out the Demon killing knife, just in case.
"Wait." Sam said, putting down his duffle. He quickly unzipped it and looked at the group. "You guys need weapons now that you're powerless."
"We are already prepared." Oro said and the three Angels showed them the swords they had brought.
Sam shrugged and took out a few things. He handed a shot gun to Castiel and Gabriel then handed Balthazar and Jinx each a crowbar.
"Okay, now we can go." Sam said and they continued walking, leaving the duffle behind to pick up later.
They all walked tirelessly through the snow, feeling the weight of the snow on them. It was much harder to walk when at the top of the mountain, considering the lack of air that was up there. Megan panted, not having done as much exercise in a while. She stopped to take a breather, looking up at the sky that seemed so close to her now. She was a little surprised when she saw a helicopter pass over the mountain. Could helicopters go that high? Megan wasn't sure; she didn't know much about helicopters. But it seemed almost like one of those rescue copters. It was grey and there was a ladder hanging out from the door. It was really close to them, almost too close. It was so close that Megan could feel the gusts of wind caused from the propellers and she could see a symbol on the side of the copter. It was a white swirl near the door. Megan shrugged it off and continued trekking through the freezing cold snow.
They kept on walking, the snow making it hard to see, until they reached the start of the hill. Megan froze when she saw figures just a few feet in front of them, there black eyes just barely visible through the falling snow.
"Ah, so you're Megan?" One Demon asked as he stepped forward. The snow was starting to slow down, so it was easier to see him. He had brown hair and had green eyes, aside from his black eyes that were showing just a few moments ago.
"And you are?" she asked, gripping the knife tight in her hand.
"Rylie. Pleasure to meet you." He said with a devilish smile.
"So you're the son of a bitch Demon that wants the Tablets." Dean said aiming his shot gun at Rylie's head.
"Winchester, huh?" Rylie smirked then glared at him. Demons started walking up to back up Rylie, the snow finally showing them. There were probably fifteen Demons, outnumbering them.
"I demand you to stop going after the Tablets." Luna said, eyeing him.
"Yeah, sure." Rylie said sarcastically. He turned back to his group of Demons and said, "Kill 'em all."
The Demons charged at them, attacking them from all angles. Rylie charged at Megan, a knife in his hands. She quickly dodged, having to stop herself from falling into the snow. She swung her knife at the Demon but only to miss by a centimeter. Rylie launched his fist at her and it collided with her face, sending her to the ground with a bloody nose. She quickly wiped the blood off her face and looked up at the sky, temporarily unfocused on the situation at hand.
That's when she saw the same helicopter pass by. Was it the same helicopter? It looked exactly like the one that passed only a few minutes ago. It had the ladder and the symbol just like the other one. She watched until it disappeared into the clouds.
Megan shook her head and got up, Rylie still standing in front of her. She charged at him, cutting his face with the knife as she swung it at him again. He toppled back a little, blood dripping down his face.
"You little-." He started but was cut off by Exarp.
"Megan! Get the Tablet! You're the closest!" he said and Megan looked up at the hill where the Tablet was perched at.
Megan and Rylie looked at each other for a second then they both started to sprint up the hill. Snow was falling on them and the snow on the ground was almost up to their knees. It was nearly impossible to run up the hill, and Rylie was much bigger then Megan was, so he was already far ahead of her.
Megan really hoped that Rylie got stuck in a trap that the area created, like Exarp had said. Then she realized something. She looked up and saw the same helicopter pass over her again, the ladder now within reach. Megan looked between the ladder and the Tablet placed at the top of the hill. She took a deep breath then jumped, grabbing onto the ladder attached to the helicopter.
"Megan! What the hell are you doing!" She heard Gabriel yell from the ground below her. She quickly climbed the ladder, now aware that Rylie was now at the top of the hill about to grab the Tablet that was perched on a stone table. After a few moments she reached the top of the ladder and jumped into the helicopter. She looked down at the ground where Rylie was now holding the Air Tablet. Megan grinned when Rylie inspected it, looking as if something was wrong with the Tablet.
Megan looked around the helicopter and found what she suspected would be there. The Air Tablet. The real Air Tablet. She quickly grabbed it and looked down as the helicopter passed over the hill again. She took a deep breath and jumped, glad that she was so close to the ground that she landed next to Rylie and the fake Air Tablet with ease.
"What-What is that?" he asked, pointing as the Tablet in Megan's hand. The Tablet was surprisingly small, about pocket sized, while the one in Rylie's hand was about the size of a dictionary. She smirked and said, "The real Air Tablet."
Megan looked down at her friends, The Powers, and the Demons. They had all stopped for a second to look at Megan before returning to battle.
Rylie looked like he was about to say something but was cut off when the Tablet started glowing. Megan gripped it tight, feeling power start to surge through her. Her eyes lit up white and the air started to pick up speed. Soon there was a giant ball of air surrounding her. She had the power of air at her disposal. And she knew just how to use it.
She looked at Rylie, fear in his eyes, and watched as the wind toppled him off the hill and send him falling off the mountain. She smirked and looked down where the fighting had stopped. She shot out her hand and wind started blowing harder and she made sure that only the Demon's would be hit with the wind. The twisted beings fell, being pushed off the mountain by the wind.
Once all the Demons were gone the wind slowed down and the air ball that had formed around Megan disappeared. The white light in her eyes were now back to their original blue and the Tablet stopped glowing.
Megan smiled and looked down at the group that was staring up at her in awe.
"Guys," she started, "I'm Aang!"
Hope you guys liked this chapter! Yeah, this one's pretty long but it was fun to write! And if you guys understand that last line that Megan said, you deserve some chocolate XD
