[IC] The Last Stand

[Metatron]

Dean Winchester & Team Free Will

A Gloomy Day it seemed, Rain was pouring down as Team Free Will was walking to this old farm house where there was said to be many demons playing dangerous games. Dean had his colt as well as a few other guns. He came to the farm house and seeing the livestock dead on the ground and blood everywhere "Yep....Demons Alright, everyone ready?" He asked looking at the team behind him.

Gabriel and Balthazar were walking side by side near Castiel, being the two brothers that had actually raised the young angel, Gabriel loved his brother dearly but could be a dick. Gabriel had left heaven without saying goodbye to anyone and fled as Lucifer and Micheal fled. But balthazar stayed longer not wanting to leave Castiel behind at all, being the older brother he was there to fight along side his young brother and keep him from harm.

"Ready as we will ever be" Gabriel said snickering slightly as he got out his archangel blade and held it tightly,at the ready for a attack. But before they could get into the house with the rest of the team the skies open and a massive beam of white light blasted down causing the group to fall over.

Thor and Loki

Team Free Will

Thor and loki whereat it again fighting or arguing about something so small. But Odin had had enough so he banished them from Ashard and onto earth unaware of where he was sending them and who they would meet along the way. Thor slammed into the ground harshly yelling in pain and anger.

"All your damn fault Loki" he snapped sharply as he slowly got up in pain but a female suddenly apeared between them . the only person to stop them from clashing heads.

"Astrial Move" Thor growled but the black starry haired goddess refused.

"Enough both of you, you both have gotten yourselves banished from Asgard" Snapped the female standing between the two of them.

"Excuse me....but who are you?" Astrial heard a voice and looked over and saw the hunters and raised an eyebrow able to see the wings of the archangel and angels.

"I am dearly sorry, I am Astrial, This is Thor and that is Loki" she said pointing to the two gods as well.

Gabriel who looked over nearly choked on the air slightly "Loki? Trickster?" he asked his eyes beamed as Balthazar groaned slightly.

"NO Gabriel your not allowed to go play pranks got that!" He snapped keeping him from going toward Loki. Gabriel whined slightly, he might not be tall but he was a hell of a prankster.

"But me and Loki would be best ofr friends being tricksters and all"

[Morose]

Cornish exchanged an uneasy glance with Crowley. Every minute that they spent was another minute closer to their collective death sentences. Of course, they'd be lucky if that was all Lucifer decided to do with the two rebellious demons.

"Brother...These people are not of Midguard," Loki frowned, staring at all of the non-human members of Team Free Will. He snorted a bit, turning his nose up. "But I do have an old friend here whom I'd very much like to speak with..."

His eyes flashed darkly, and like an illusion, Loki melted away. Nothing remained, as old Silver Tongue made his way towards the most powerful being on the planet: Lucifer himself.

Sam stared in confusion, and Castiel, being Castiel, merely frowned.

"Oi, what the hell are we standing around here for?" Cornish snapped. "We've got better things to do--like not dying because of bloody Lucifer!"

[Metatron]

Lucifer purred in his cell locked deep awaya dn noticed afigure appearing before his cell. His eyes deep red color as he slowly made his ways to the bar slightly "Oh, a visitor those are a rarity. And you must be Loki" he muses gently knowing all the gods to ever live.

Dean looked at Cornish "Alright come on" he said as they went back to the hunt they had at hand right now. dean got into the farm house, Gabriel and balthazar followed swiftly near Sam and the friendly demon. Crowley was not happy about this at all but he rather see humans win then Lucifer any day.

"Be careful demons love playing games" he said gun out and ready as The demons where sneaky little creatures that played mind games with those around them. crowley saw one and fired shooting it as the swarm of demons attacked now. Gabriel and balthazar lashed out with their blades to kee the rear of the group safe.

Thor and astrial stood very confused about what on earth was going on with this strange group "did they have wings?"

[Morose]

Loki nodded, staring into the dark recesses of the cell. "I received your message, Lucifer."

He paused, pacing back in forth in front of the cell, his scepter and crown appearing. "Can you do what you claim, devil?"

---

"Of course we love playing games," Cornish sneered. She pulled her guns out of her pockets, specially crafted in the fire of hell. The bullets were made of angel blades, melted into the perfect shape for the gun. An expert marksman, she never missed. "Hello, boys!" Cornish jeered, and shot down all of the demons near Crowley. Blowing the smoke off the top of her gun, her eyes flashed black.

Sam headed towards the stairs with Castiel, each of them twirling their angel blades around, striking demon after demon dead. The more they advanced, the more seemed to appear, each blocking their way.

[Metatron]

"Oh did you now reciver it I am so glad that you did. Here lets talk a little more face to face hmm?" he askd snapping his fingers as Loki appeared in the cage with the devil "Now, I am able to do everything I said I can do, i can give you a throne, i can give you minions and I can do everything i said I would. But first you need to do me something. I am sure you have meet...Team free will they are hunters and a fe of my brothers. For me to do any of this I need my vessel. His name is Sam Winchester he is a taller hunter with book smarts."

Dean and gabriel ket lesser demons at bay as he said to vrowley and Corphish "Go up and help Sam and castiel" he said to the two as the angels and dean fought witht he lesser demons.

Crowley came up and got out the bullet gun and started firing sharply at the demons and watched as the adnaced dmons fall but he knew Lucifer never gave it up and knew the demons would come back. he hears the screaming of children "Cas get the kids out" Crowley growled as he killed another demon.

[Morose]

Loki wasn't startled at all, appearing in the cage. Instead, he chuckled. "If you are so powerful, then why are you in this box?" Loki taunted. He paced around the cell, his scepter banging on the ground with each and every step. "You see, Lucy, I make a policy: I don't work with those who are weak."

He paused, and in an instant, Loki appeared twelve feet away from the cell. It had been an illusion all along. "Prove to me your worth by leaving that cell, hmm?"

---

---

Castiel nodded, and vanished, his wings fluttering slightly. Cornish rolled her eyes. "Really, boss, scared for some kids now? You're getting soft."

Still, with a demonic chuckle, Cornish reloaded her guns, and began firing at the demons on the stare. Demon by demon dropped, each bullet precisely aimed and cared for. Eventually, Sam's path was clear.

"Go on, then, boss, go help the moose!" Cornish cackled, reloading once more. "I've got plenty of ammunition left!"

Sam, meanwhile, had made his way to the back room. He opened up the door, only to have his eyes widen. "Dean!" Sam shouted. "You're going to want to see this!"

[Metatron]

The dark Angel smirked slightly "Oh that taunt will be the last thing that will leave yourlips dear little god" he smirked gently eyes flickered as he waved his hand and the protective flames that was aroudn the cell vanished as Lucifer suddenly appeared a foot from loki a small smirk on his lips.

"Do not make fun of things you will never understand Loki it will be your down gall" he grinned slightly eyes flickered amused before he create d asmall ciurcle of magic that drained Loki of his and smirked gently "Now wanta deal or not little Norse?" he smirked gently "All cards on the table"

________

Dean went past Crowley and the female demon as hewen yo the room where Sam was "Huh what?" he asked looking in and his eyes widen slightly.

A powerful demon suddenly broke her gun and slapped her sharply into the wall about to stab her but Balthazar threw his blade sharply killing the demon before Gabriel and him took care of the rest of the demons. Now the house was empty completely.

[Morose]

"My down gall?" Loki chuckled. "Dear me, it seems you've forgotten how to sound threatening."

Loki's skin turned a delicate shade of blue, the Frost Giant in him becoming more and more apparent. Robbed of his magic, nothing prevented him from crossing the flames, and he merely laughed, his heart as cold as his eyes. "Give me one reason why I should help you, beast."

---

---

Cornish swore, as her guns were snapped in two, and she was shoved against the wall. She spat at the demon's feet, laughing her head off. "You like it rough, huh? Is that how we're going to play it?"

She winked at Balthazar, watching as he threw his angel blade into the demon, completing and utterly destroying it. Released from her hold against the wall, Cornish picked up the shattered pieces of her gun. "Well fuck. Boss, you better replace this, or I quit. I'll join Team Lucifer."

Sam shook his head at Cornish, before staring down at the remains of the demon. "Either of you recognize this son of a bitch?'

[Metatron]

The archangel grinned slightly snapping hos fingers "Because, You got nothong elf for you Loki. You see I love my family dearly, But they betrayed me , cast me out liek a demon a monster to them, wanted nothing to do with me. So tell me.....Doesn't that sound oddly familiar?" Asked the fallen archangel smirked as he snapped his finger as Loki was turned into nothing more thena human being for a few minutes. "remeber your not in your element, I can grant you the respect you always wanted I can make you more powerful then your brother. make your father relise how much you wanted to please him" muses the devil before coming close "I will never trick you and i will never lie to you. All cards are casted...You decide I can't force it upon you" said the devil before snapping his finger as Loki returned to normal as a god once more.

Dean looked at the remaids and gulped "is that.....Azreal?" he asked freaked out the golden eyed demon that haunted Sama dn if he was back that meant...."OH shit we need to get out" he said asAzreal was very dangerous more dangerous then Lucifer as he was a master tormenting demon.

Crowley looked at her "dear god what is it with you demons so demanding" he said fixing the guns she had before hearing dean "Your kidding right your gonna run because of Azreal?" he asked and gulped hearing the wind blow like a hurrcaine. "maybe on second thought we should leave. Come on young lady" he called over to the female demona s the Team ran out of that house fast.

Balthizara thunks "well ehatever Lucifer is planning it could be the very last thing we ever fight"

[Morose]

Loki chuckled. "And what is it you require of me, with the Winchester? Kill him? Break him?" His lips curled as he grinned, pacing back and forth, somehow seeming more self righteous than ever before. Hoodwinking the Winchesters would be easier to him than anything he had ever imagined before.

"Where shall we start?"

---

---

Cornish frowned. "Seriously? All of you? Scared of some bits of ash?"

She rolled her eyes, Castiel appearing behind her. He nodded in agreement, and the pair of them picked up some of the remains. The human was long since dead, and Azazel gone with them.

"This is impossible," Castiel whispered, rising. "The demon was dead."

"Roger that," Cornish agreed. "Come on, Samuel, don't you find this a bit odd, hmm? For fuck's sake, you went to Stanford, you have to have smarts in that thick head."

Sam paused, breaking into a cold sweat. Azazel had been dead. He'd watched him die, see the demon blasted into a death not even a spell could return him from. "Dean, something isn't right here," Sam added. "He shouldn't have been alive for us to kill."

Castiel and Cornish remained behind, while Sam left the house with the rest of the team. The angel and the demon, both interested and stubborned, continued to pour over the fallen demon, wondering what could have brought a demon back from death.

[Metatron]

The devil smirked at the god, "Bing me the Winchester, or Winchesters or damn bring the whole team if you like be more of party. Anyway I need sam to be a little broken before dealing with me. See I need him to say yes to becoming my vessel, and being stubborn as he may he is not easy to fool. Neither are my three brothers, Castiel, Balthazar and Gabriel. They an see through lies so take your time with it earn their trust" He smirked gently "Then when you got Sammy bring him here and the group if you so wish and I shall give you what I have promised"

_____

Crowley scowled"its not....atcually impssible for him to not come back. He can come back if Lucifer has a hold of Azreal's life stone. With that he can rebirth Azreal as many times as he wishes" Said the demon King "its a tap most liely Lucifer wanted us all to be here, he is planning something and its not going to be good" he said grimly.

Balthazar glared slightl "Well lets not wait for the demon to come back! He gets a hold of Sam we are doomed again we know how much mind dmmaage he can do to Sam and that could be what he will use to break Sam's will power" Said the angel.

Gabriel looked at them "come on lets go now" snapped his fingers and they all appeared outside seeing Thor and Astrial.

"Your still here?" Dean asked confused.

THor looked over slightly "Erm....We wanted to knowif you have seen my brother Loki he vanishrd awhile ago" he said uneasy

[Morose]

Loki glanced at the devil. "Of course..."

He made a mocking bow, before vanishing from Lucifer's sight. He had no intention to go straight towards the task, no. He had all of the time in the world to complete the petty deal with the devil. Instead, he appeared at one of the world's finest astronomy labs, taking on the form of a young intern named Darcy. Here, he would wait for Jane Foster to appear, and take her as bait.

It would not only vex his brother, but guarantee his brother came to him. If he were to bring Foster to Lucifer, then, the rest would follow.

One domino would bring down another.

"Life...Stone...?" Cornish groaned. She shook her head, reaching for either her gun or a non-existent bottle of scotch. "You're making this sound like a really bad superhero film," she commented.

Glancing at Castiel, Cornish snapped her fingers, and vanished. The angel sighed, only to appear outside with the rest of the gang.

"Cornish is gone," Castiel said grimly, eyeing Crowley. "Let us hope she has not gone to Lucifer."

Sam, meanwhile, raised an eyebrow at Thor. "Are you... Are you supposed to be Thor?"

[Metatron]

The Devil smirked gently as he merely waited in his cage filing his nails humming to himself. he had the world and all the time he liked to do as he pleased. And Loki would sooon learn....you do not make deals with a devil.

__________

"Yeah lest hopenot" Crowley mutters shrugging his shoulders before looking at the big blonde guy and raised an eyebrow "Oh damn" he mutters slightly.

Thor looked down at Sam "yes, I am Thor of Asgard" he said nodding his head. Astrial watched from the shadows slightly not trusting humans all that easily.

Dean looked ove at the female "Guessing she is with you?" he aked as thor nodded "Astrial, goddess of the night, cold and Nightmarea"

[Morose]

Cornish appeared in the recesses of hell, just out of Lucifer's grasp from the cage. Protected from being drawn in by his power, she peered around, confirming that they were alone.

"Azazel was killed, my lord," Cornish said, hating the need to recognize authority. "Crowley continues to work with the Winchesters."

She bowed slightly, wanting nothing more than to run away, find a new planet, and relocate. It wasn't as if she needed oxygen to breathe. Anything but Earth would suffice.

"Is that all you require of me?"

---

---

Castiel shifted uncomfortably. The pagan gods always seemed to fell off to him, likely due to the abominations that they were.

Sam, however, frowned. "I don't recall reading of an...Astrial and....Loki is the brother of Thor?"

[Metatron]

The devil cackled from the shadows of his cell "I am hontesly surprised Crowley has not figure dout your a little small tratior. No just keep an eye on the winchesters and Crowley. Nothing else is needed, are you so afraid that you dare to not come clser?" jered the devilsmirking slightly amused his eyes glowing in the cage sharply.

"oh...if you think he is dead......Nope , Sammy got a new thing coming for him Azazel never dies untill i tell him his job is over and he will come and help me with Sammy" he grinned looking at the female demon, so harmless like a fly.

Thor sighed "she is lesser of the gods in Asgard. Yes Loki si my adopted brother not by blood" he said explaining the whole....front giant part.

Gabriel grinned "I think I 'll like this Loki"

[Morose]

"I'm not afraid. I'm recognizing the possibility that I mean nothing to you," Cornish muttered, rising. "I know how little you value the life of a demon."

She held her tongue, knowing that anything else would be dangerous territory. It wasn't right for her to compare her creator to be akin to the being both of them held in contempt. She vanished, reappearing inside the impala, waiting for the rest of the team to arrive, so she could begin her report to Crowley.

---

---

"Crowley, do you know if the demon Cornish would betray you?" Castiel asked, looming over the future King of Hell. "I sense she is near."

Sam pulled Dean aside, staring back at the Asgardians in confusion. "Dean, listen, I know this is crazy...But perhaps Thor and Astrial can help us...We need all the fire power we can get."

[Metatron]

The Devil raised eyebrows at those words. What did it matter how he valued life of a demon what did that have to do with anything.

Crowley looked at Castiel"I feel she could but I not pass judgement till proof. Besides she holds feelings for Lucifer that's not explainable" said shrugging his shoulders. He went to the impala seeing her "and where you vanish off to?

Dean was uneasy about that idea "Sam we already got Angels, future king of hell and such do we really want them around?" He breathed not wanting to take anymore in.

[Morose]

"I'm really getting tired of being a...what am I now... triple agent?" Cornish paused. "Confusing as fuck. Lucy is still in the cage, still keeping tabs on you lot."

She shrugged a bit, grabbing Bobby's flask, and taking a swig. The alcohol wasn't enough to do anything to her, but she enjoyed it nonetheless. It wasn't every day she was double crossing the devil. "He's got no idea about my loyalties... Though to be fair, neither do I."

Meanwhile, back outside of the house, Sam nodded. "We need all of the firepower that we can get, Dean. If there's anything we know, it's that we can't stop Lucifer alone."

[Metatron]

Crowley nodded his head "good let's make sure he stays there's he said they where all unaware of Loki's visit.

Dean sighed tiredly but nodded "very well we will ask them to help us" said Dean not thrilled with it.

[Morose]

Cornish nodded. Reloading her gun, she glanced up at Crowley. "For now, let's keep the Winchesters guessing about who I'm allied with. They have shit awful poker faces." She cackled a bit, before relaxing in the backseat, waiting for the rest of the team to catch up.

Meanwhile, Sam carefully approached the Asgardians. "Thor...Astrial...We are fighting the devil here and...We need your help. We need to be able to save the world and we're..we're not strong enough. If you help us, we'll promise you, we'll help you find your brother."
