Ch.31

I had enough time to get to the bar and unload the boxes of demon killing knives before Sam, Dean and Selene got there. Ash was already making the calls and the hunters were already there cashing in their bounties or drinking them away while taking several more of them.

Luckily I'd made enough just for this occasion and damned if it wasn't a great day. After passing the knives around to the brothers, Sam mentioned Ruby might want the original knife back. I chuckled and shook my head. "I don't mind demons killing other demons but I sure as hell ain't working with them. If she wants her knife back you can tell her to come bite me. I could use some entertainment before I put a bullet in her skull. Vampires, werewolves and any manner of creature might be redeemable in my eyes but demons aren't one of them or they wouldn't be demons. You should've killed the bitch the moment you had the knife."

Sam frowned. "She's been useful for intel-"

I shook my head. "Even supposing you got good intel from her, it's still only about half assuming she's not lying. And half the picture can get you killed far quicker than the whole story. Even if you could believe every word she's saying, it's the words she not that will see you and everyone following that same lead to the grave. Demons don't just lie Sam, they use half truths and even a mixture of the full truth to manipulate and get others to do their bidding. Odds are she's probably working with the others to get you to do something they can't and that's far more dangerous then working the job."

Dean sighed. "He's right Sammy, if she's working us we could end up opening something more than just the devil's gate we failed to stop. I should've said this before but I've not made myself clear enough. She's a demon, she dies end of discussion. If we start working with demons then we'll lose the support of the other hunters and if they feel we've turned.....we can't fight that kind of fight Sam, not for a demon at least."

Sam looked to me and narrowed his eyes. "But you're not human!"

I snorted. "You know Damn well that's a lie. I may have mutated DNA from a plague that wiped out my ancestors and a bit of animal blood mixed in, but I'm actually more human than you are Sam. Whatever Yellow Eyes did to you was evil and it's altered your DNA, making you as different as I am. Only mine isn't evil. I can smell the demon blood in you friend and it's not good. That doesn't mean you're not human Sam, nor does it mean I'm not. All i'm saying is you might have a blind spot for demons because of it and this Ruby bint is using it."

Dean frowned but looked at me before turning to Sam and a glint appeared in his eyes before he sighed. "That takes care of it then. I'll deal with Ruby since you can't Sam. Don't worry, I won't be letting any demons manipulate you again."

Sighing, I tossed one back before Ash came over to tell us he found a lead on Bela and where she might be staying. The real issue is the fact that she'd been trying to steal the colts from the boys so she could trade them for her soul to a demon. They needed a sit down with her and so they headed off.

I went back to the cabin I'd rented and began wworking on more colts and knives. Three days and a long chase later, Selene called me to tell me Sam and Dean had been arrested and were being locked up in the nearest county jail but the issue was it was a demon setup and she didn't have enough weapons to arm everyone and fight them all off herself.

I drove to her after teleporting my SUV to the police station. We got there just as the helicopter exploded in the parking lot and I grabbed the duffel bags before waiting. When Dean came out eventually after a gunshot went of ten minutes into waiting, he saw us come over and lead us inside.

There we found it wasn't nearly as armed as we needed it to be. I tossed the spray paint to Dean and Sam while Selene took the bags of road salt to the doors and windows. The lone surviving FBI agent came over with the deputy and a secretary that worked at the precinct. Everyone else was either dead or dead and possessed.

Sighing I passed them all guns and knives. "These are spelled weapons with magic and runes. They'll kill demons with any kill shot or otherwise lethal wound. I'm sorry we don't have a lot of time to properly get introduced but I'm a hunter and that's my wife Selene, a death dealer. We hunt down and kill monsters like Sam and Dean does but we're usually more discrete. I don't have time to give you the truth is out there's speech so you'll have to face the cold hard facts. Kill the demons or be played with and killed yourselves. They're possessing the living and dead so you'll have to buck up and deal with it. It's a bloody hard and nasty world out there so kill them or get tortured and killed yourselves by them, those are the only rules that matter right now."

Agent Hendrickson asked. "Can't we get the demons out of them?"

I snorted. "Sure, but then they'll come back in greater numbers and kill everyone that knows about them. They're not big on you all knowing because then you might just live long enough to become a threat to them so they'll kill everyone that they're possessing and all of you when we're gone and there's no one here to protect you lot."

Nancy, the secretary, spoke up. "But they're my friends!"

I shook my head. "Not anymore they're not. Your friends are trapped in their own bodies being used as puppets to kill, rape torture and mutilate for fun. Personally I don't want to experience any of that so you'll either shoot them or get the hell out of our way while we do it instead."

I took off my jacket and showed them the six revolvers in the style of Il Duce from the Boondock Saints. I had two daggers strapped to my wrists and three cylinders on each side of my belt full of bullets for quick reloads.

Selene was much the same except her daggers were strapped to her thighs. With everyone having plenty of ammunition and weapons, I told Sam to break the back barrier and let them in that way so that we could funnel them and kill them without being surrounded.

Ten minutes later all hell broke loose as we fired on a crowd of nearly twenty five demons that tried to run in. Selene and Dean circles around outside to pick off any that hadn't come in and sure enough when it was all over thirty dead demons were there riddled with bullets.

Sighing, I loaded up all the ammo and weapons I could find, filling my SUV and Selene's car as well as the Impala's trunk. The FBI agent wanted to ask what we were doing but I told him coldly. "Demons will be coming to find out what happened to their numbers. With thirty of them dead they'll want answers and torture anyone that they find. Seeing as how you might not like that, I'm going to burn down the precinct and officially kill us all. Those of you that don't want to become hunters will be given money and identities by my contacts in Europe. The rest of free to come with us and learn to hunt."

Victor, aka agent Hendrickson, agreed to do the job on account of his talk with Dean. Nancy was in as well while the deputy wanted to start a life away from demons. So I lit the match after setting everything up and burned it all down while we drove away.

Back at the bar finally, I called my contacts and they set up the deputy in Britain with a decent penchant to live off of. Nancy and Victor were given a car, credit cards and ID's as well as a flash drive of monsters, spells, legends and myths that I'd deemed had merit as well as a full run down by yours truly on how to handle each situation.

They were green but with with some time and proper guidance they'd do fine enough. My cabin became their boot camp and for the next month I drilled into them knowledge and situational awareness as well as self defense on Nancy's part.

It wasn't until Sam and Dean mentioned a possible ghost hunt that I let them go with the boys for their first job out. From then on they were on their own except for advice and possible partnerships on jobs. It was time for the birds to leave the nest as it were. In the meantime, Selene and I dropped off an armory full of weapons as I upgraded Bobby's junkyard and home with runes and spells.

I had to magically melt down a few cars and such but he didn't mind as it to became a safe haven against the supernatural. He admitted to having built himself a ghost and demon proof panic room in his basement and I did my best to improve on his wards, making it angel and monster proof as well.

Sam and Dean mentioned Victor and Nancy's work as damn near a professional hunter's level which was great so they were officially not my problem any more. Ash gave them a few jobs while they were cashing in their official one ghost bounty.

Selene and I headed off to ravage this planet of it's magical items starting with the angel and demon proof stash where Lucifer hid his angel blade along with the angel tablet and Crowley's stash house where he hid the Rod of Aaron, a hand of god or more precisely, an item touched by the god that ruled this reality, an ascended godking. I took the lance of Michael as well since it was just laying there all shiny and the demon tablet beside it on a shelf.

I then drained the rod of it's primordial essence that he'd placed inside it, creating three more galaxies inside myself. It wasn't much but then it was just something he made for amusement so I didn't mind. We headed to the An-Nafud Desert in Saudi Arabia. With a quick tracking spell, I located a human named Noel who had the horn of Joshua and was planning to use it to break his deal with Crowley.

I took it and drained it while he was sleeping, adding another three galaxies to my power before placing it back. We left and headed to Concrete Washington. There I stole and replaced an ancient Babylonian wishing coin from the goddess Tiamat with a quarter I reshaped to look like it.

Leaving and solving that issue easily before it ever arose. We arrived in Columbus Ohio next to steal a pocket watch from a Nazi merchandise seller whom was catering to the racists and skinheads. It was an easy steal as he wasn't even in when I did the smash and grab.

I felt the Horcrux's evil taint even as I picked it up. Luckily it was charmed to only open with the blood of Hitler's descendant so it was rather easy to fix. A hop skip and a jump to Portsmouth Rhode Island saw our most dangerous venture yet as I stole the seal of Solomon and ate the primal god in human flesh.

It tried to fight me once I'd taken it into my realm but it's death was near instant the moment it was inside. I added the energies it had gathered for it's six inner galaxies to my own and left as the gateway to it's reality was sealed shut already.

With the seal of Solomon I could finally leave this reality any time I wished so I was no longer playing nice. I let loose and slaughtered a family of three witches in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, stealing the black grimoire from them.

Next came a trip to Spain where we uncovered the book of the damned and hid it away in my own library, hidden and cut off from this reality so that none could track it down. We headed to Scotland next and dig up Crowley's bones just in case we or the boys needed leverage later.

With that in mind, we went to Iraq and dig up the leviathan tablet after a lot of tracking spells and some potent scrying magic. With all three tablets and such a powerful set of items gathered, all we cared to gather last was the first blade.

It took only a few scrying spells and a detailed map to find it buried with Colette Mullen, Cain's wife. It was a bit odd to dig up the poor woman's grave but after we had the blade, I rebutted the casket and did a small growth spell on the grass to cover it fully and grow hundreds of flowers above it as thanks.

We headed back to Bobby's place and found Sam and Dean arguing with Ruby on the edge of the lot. I pulled out my gun and shot her, ending the argument as the demon died. Walking over, Sam asked. "Why did you do that-"

I slugged him before turning to Dean. "You said you'd take care of it, it seems you needed help after all. She's dead now-"

I dodged Sam's fist before tripping him and shaking my head. "Enough! Ruby isn't coming back and I sure as hell ain't apologizing for killing a demon. Either quit it or I'll beat your ass like your daddy should have!"

Dean stilled and Sam looked pissed. I shook my head. "You clearly aren't ready to be a hunter Sam. You're too close and too damned emotional for your own good and it's going to get people killed. Straighten your shit out!"

I stalked off to Bobby's house while sending the demon's body to the sun. There I called up Ellen, Ash and my human contacts I never really bothered to learn the names of. With everyone who mattered listening, I told them Selene and I hit the jackpot by robbing a cross road demon's stash house and found the stash we'd collected.

I left out the spell books but let them have the archangel blade and spear, the tablets and the other basic magical artifacts. Each one I put a label on and wrote down what they could do while telling them the tablets were the word of God that in essence could close the gates of Heaven, hell and purgatory making it a one way trip for each so if we closed them and killed off all demons, angels and alpha monsters, the humans would inherit the earth by default and would go to heaven or hell when they died either way.

I warned them that the price was that closing a single gate would kill the one who did so and jotted down how to close the gate of hell while warning them all that they'd need to find the prophet of the lord to transcribe the other two.

Ash spread the word amongst the hunters and one of them volunteered to undergo the trials to close off he'll for good. The hunter, Rufus as it turned out, came to get the specifics. With the major part done, I have them the location of the men of letter's bunker and told them that they'd have to find the key to it but it could become a real asset for the hunter's organization as it held a lot of stuff they could use and was mystically protected.

I warned them that the lance and archangel blade could even kill the devil himself as he was technically a fallen angel so they'd have to be careful. With all that in place, Selene retreated into my realm to retire from this world and I used the key of Solomon and my own powers I unlocked as well as the book of the damned's dimensional spells to step outside the grasp of that reality and it's weird god.

There in the void between realities, I met my mother's full self for the first time. She was truly beautiful to behold. "You have come a long way my boy, but you still have further to go. Your will, aura and essence have all been honed into a blade but you're now much too rigid and volatile. It is time you go to a more soothing reality before you return to what you call the Arrow verse."
