POSTAL OFFICE

A few minutes later after retrieving the package, Jack, Elena and Sam exit the building.

"It's lighter than I expected." Jack Says

"Yeah, it'll do the job." Sam Says

"Happy Holidays." Jack Says, cheerfully while pointing to stamp on the box.

Elena smiles at him then her smile drops when she notices a suspicious black van parked nearby, She goes to warn Sam but he gets hit in the back of his head by a bat, Elena sees Brett the vampire and goes to stop him but he hits her in the stomach with the bat, and then hits her in the back with it.

"Elena! Sam!" Jack Yells

Sam is in a daze and Elena groans out in pain as they watch Melanie and Brett put Jack in the back of the van.

"Jack!" Elena and Sam Says

Tires screech as the van drives away fast as Sam stands up, to his feet.

"Jack!" Sam Says

"I wouldn't. Hey, guys." Michael Says, as his eyes flash blue.

"Michael." Sam Says, as he helps Elena to her feet.

Michael chuckles as he takes out the egg, holding it in his hand. "Happy holidays."

"How'd you find us?" Elena Asks

"What are you gonna do, Elena and Sam, hmm?" Michael Asks

Sam and Elena quickly shared a look then each took out their own Angel blade, as Michael smirked at them unfazed.

"You're just gonna have to kill us." Sam Says

Sam and Elena tries advancing on Michael, but he raises his hand and flings Sam and Elena sending them crashing onto the side of a box truck.

"Oh.." Elena Says, groaning as she tries sitting up.

"No." Michael's eyes flare blue and the egg begins to glow and melt, "No, no, no, no, no, no." Sam Says

Sam and Elena tries to stand but Michael hurls them
both against the truck again knocking them unconscious.

RECYCLING FACILITY

Dean is holding his phone as it rings, and sighs when he puts it back in his pocket.

"Still no answer?" Castiel Asks

"No." Dean Says, then his phone rings.

"Is it Elena or Sam?" Castiel Asks

"It's Garth. Hey, Garth." Dean Says

"Hey, Dean. Uh, I tried to call Sam, but-no answer." Garth Says

"Yeah. Us, too." Dean Says

"Yeah. Um, listen. Michael left a few minutes ago. I overheard him say he was going to back up his forces." Garth Says

"Oh, do you mean the "forces" that are supposed to be here at Omaha? Because they are definitely not." Dean Says

"What? Dean, I swear. Michael said-" Garth Says

"It's okay. Just call us if you hear anything, okay?" Dean Says

"Got it." Garth Says

The sound of wings fluttering is heard, Garth turns to see Michael.

"Garth. Let's talk." Michael Says

"So, what, was this a setup?" Dean Says

"I don't know." Castiel Says

"Well, what do we do, do we-do we go to Hitomi Plaza? Do we go t-to Joplin, Missouri?" Dean Says

"Dean!" Castiel Says

We see the spear pointed at Dean's neck, Dark Kaia looks at them both.

"Why are you here?" Dark Kaia Asks

"Hey." Dean Says

"What do you want?" Dark Kaia Asks, as Castiel moves toward her.

"Cas. Cas, no. You know what we want." Dean Says, as he slowly turns around.

"You think you can take this from me? You've tried before." Dark Kaia Says

"Look, we didn't come to fight you for it, I came to ask." Dean Says

"You should know by now I won't give it up." Dark Kaia Says

Dean steps closer so the blade touches his chest. "Well, then, you should just kill me, there are people that I care about my family, and they're in danger. Michael, the one who tortured me, the one who tortured you, he's gonna hurt them and kill them. And then, worse. Thousands will die. And the only thing in this world that will stop him is the spear in your hands. So if you're not gonna give it to me, kill me."

"What'll you do for me?" Dark Kaia Asks, as she pulls spear back and Dean give a sign of relief.

"What do you want?" Castiel Asks

"I want to go back." Dark Kaia Says

"To the Bad Place?" Dean Says

"I call it home." Dark Kaia Says

"But you came to this world for a reason." Dean Says

"I came here to escape a life of running from monsters. But here, it's no different, not for me. Michael's monsters haven't stopped hunting me. At least over there, I understood things the world, my place in it. The magic I used to get here, magic from my home it doesn't work here. To get back, I need help." Dark Kaia Says

"We'll do what we can." Dean Says

"The boy. The special boy. The one that used Kaia to open up the door? He can do it again, for me." Dark Kaia Says

"Yes, he can. And he will if-" Dean Says

"How do I know you're telling the truth?" Dark Kaia Asks

"You don't. Just like we don't know you're telling the truth. But we do know that you are hiding something. Like Dean said, you came here for a reason, but if you're so desperate to return, you're so driven that you would consider giving up your spear well, that means you have a new reason, something you're not telling us." Castiel Says

"You have people you feel bound to protect, to save. So do I." Handing the spear to Dean, "If you don't bring this back to me, I will find you and kill you." Dark Kaia Says

"How will we track you down?" Dean Asks

"You've done it before. Do it again." Dark Kaia Says

Dean's cellphone rings and Dark Kaia suddenly disappears.

"Cas, hey." He Answers the phone, "Lena?" Dean Says

"It was Michael. He knew where we were. He got the drop on us and destroyed the egg, and, uh Dean, he's got Jack." Elena Says

"How did you guys escape?" Dean Asks

"We didn't. He knocked Sam and I out, I don't know why he didn't kill us." Elena Says

"So, what is he playing us?" Dean Says

"We don't know, I mean, Garth's not answering my phone calls. Best guess Jack's in Kansas City and that it's still game time for Michael there. Elena and I are gonna head there now." Sam Says

"Okay. Hey, we got the spear, so we'll meet you there." Dean Says

"Great." Sam Says

"Elena and Sam." Castiel Says

"Yeah?" Elena Says

"Don't you two go in there alone." Castiel Says

"We know," She and Sam gets in the car, "Drive fast." Elena Says

"Mhm." Sam Says

HITOMI PLAZA

In Michaels office, Brett and Melanie bring in a bound Jack, as Michael is waiting on the couch.

"Why am I here? Why didn't you just kill me?" Jack Asks

"In your present, powerless condition? Why would I bother." He Gets up and walks to look out large windows, "Are you familiar with Kansas City the people, the terrain? Back in my world, I enlisted a garrison to invade it. We leveled it. Death from above. But there was human resistance. Things got messy. I'm trying something different this time an insurgency from within. My monster army turning every last man, woman, and child a wave of transformation. Vampires or werewolves it won't matter which. Everyone they turn will be mine. No muss, no fuss." Michael Says

"Why would you think I want to hear any of this? I hate you." Jack Says

"Oh, but, Jack, we're family. You know, in fact, we're the only kin each other has left in this world." Michael Says

"My uncle's in the Cage. And you-you're not family." Jack Says

"Well, not literally, no. Our connection, our relation is more a matter of scale of power. Haven't you learned yet? In this reality, monsters, humans, even angels they are insects, atoms compared to us. But you you're just a child, a mere infant. For you, the past two years the entirety of your existence feel like eons. You don't even know what time is. But you will. Real time, the time that makes mountains, that wipes out species. You'll see it all with me." Michael Says

"No." Jack Says

"Year by year, century by century, and as your power returns and grows, we'll only become more alike. Oh, I know. Your loyalty to Castiel, the Winchesters, Elena and the rest of humanity? It will fade. And so will the minor differences angel armies versus monster armies, this Kansas City or that Kansas City, one world from another they'll fade, too." Michael Says

"Sam, Dean, Elena and Castiel. They'll come for me." Jack Says

"Mm." Michael Says, then leaves the office.

We see elevator doors as the bell dings, jazzy holiday music plays in the background. Brett and the young werewolf exit the elevator.

"You have your coordinates?" Brett Asks

"Uh, yes, sir. The Cathedral on Oak Street, embed myself in the Christmas mass, wait for Michael's signal." He Says

"All right." They both stand in an awkward silence, "You can go now." Brett Says

The packmate gives awkward salute to Brett and leaves. Brett turns and sees the nose of Sam's Cougar nearby, He looks around suspiciously and turns to go back into the building when Sam swiftly decapitates him.

Melanie enters the office reception area and notices the security camera screens, we see a decapitated Brett on the security camera. Melanie runs quickly to the elevator and excitedly pushes the button

The Elevator door opens and we see Elena who decapitates Melanie, Jack is still bound in the office as Sam and Elena enters the office with their bloody machetes drawn.

"Jack." Elena Says

"Elena, Sam." Jack Says

"Hey. Where's Michael?" Sam Asks, as he starts to free Jack.

"Ahh. I don't know." Jack Says

"Come on. Let's go." Sam Says

Elena helps Jack to his feet, but they all stop when they hear footsteps approaching , "Wait, wait, wait, wait. Shh, shh."

The all wait patiently in fear hoping it's not Michael, but the door opens and Garth enters.

"Garth." Elena and Sam Says

"Hey, guys." Garth Says

"You're okay." Sam Says

"Yeah." Garth Says

"Great. Let's get out of here." Sam Says

They all leave the room and quickly gets on the elevator, moments later the bell dings and Sam, Elena, Jack and Garth exit into a parking garage.

"All right. Dean and Cass are almost here. They got the spear. As soon as they get here, we regroup, go upstairs." Sam Says

"Kick Michael's ass." Jack Says

"Yep." Elena Says

They all notices that Garth suddenly starts groaning and choking with his back turned, Jack approaches Garth and as he taps his shoulder he turns with glowing blue eyes and growls fiercely as he hits Jack, sending him spinning across the garage.

"Jack!" Sam Says

"Garth what's wrong?" Elena Asks

"Oh, Elena. Sam. He's in my head, he won't stop. He won't let me stop." Garth Says, as he growls and roars as he starts to transform into a werewolf.

"Garth?" Sam Says

"I'm sorry." Garth Says

He starts growling as his teeth descends and he moves to attack Sam and Elena.

______________________________

HITOMI PLAZA

Sam pushes Elena out the way as Garth scratches at her, Garth looks at Sam who holds up his hands.

"Hey, don't do this.", Garth throws a punch at him but misses, "You don't have to do this." Sam Says

Garth attacks again him again, he is snarling and growling as Sam gets him in a headlock.

"You can fight this. You can fight this one." Garth breaks free and flips him to the ground, "Ohh!" Sam Says

"Sam!" Elena Says, Garth turns back toward her and goes to attack her.

"No!" Jack Says

Jack tackles Garth to the ground and he rolls to the top and tries to bite and claw him, Sam gets back up and puts Garth in a headlock and starts to choke him out.

"Sorry, Garth." Garth growls weakly, "I'm sorry." Sam Says

Sam drops the unconscious Garth to the ground, Elena sighs and walked over to the two of them.

"Is he uh?" Elena Asks

"He's just knocked out, I didn't kill him...I didn't want to." Sam Says

"Good thinking," She kneels down to Jack, "You okay there?" Elena Asks

"Yeah, I had to protect you..couldn't let him hurt you." Jack Says

"Thank you, Jack. Now come on." Elena Says

A few minutes later the Impala enters the parking garage, Dean parks it as he and Castiel gets out they see an unconscious Garth tied up on the ground.

"Oh Garth." Dean Says

Dean picks Garth who's still is tied up, and puts him in the trunk of the Impala.

"Sleep tight, buddy," He closes the trunk, "Well, thanks for waiting for us." Dean Says

"We didn't have a choice, he drank Michael's grace. Why didn't he tell me?" Sam Says

"I don't know." Dean Says

"Maybe he was scared to tell." Elena Says

"When Garth turned, I think it gave Michael a window. I think he was spying on us through him, that's how Michael knew where we'd be, how he got the jump on us." Sam Says

"All right, well, Garth's on ice now. You know, maybe if we kill Michael, it'll cure him." Sam Says, as Castiel approaches.

"Well, I-I called the other Hunters. They're on their way. Take care of the city, in case we don't win up there." Sam Says

Castiel places two fingers on Jack's forehead, a bright light glows as Cas heals his wounds.

"I wouldn't bet against us, you know? Hyah. Hyah." Dean Says

Dean attempts to swing the spear like Dark Kaia but fails, almost dropping it and hitting Elena and Sam's head.

"Dude." Sam Says

"Dean, would you stop." Elena Says

"Ah! I got it. It's cool. It's good." He holds the spear still, "How we looking over there?" Dean Says

"Good as new." Castiel Says

"Jack." Elena Says

"He's up there, waiting for us." Jack Says

"You know, Michael's monsters are all over this city. If he feared us in the least, he would've sent some our way." Castiel Says

"Yeah, well, he could've killed us back at the shipping facility." Sam Says

"But it was all part of his plan, I think he wanted us to come here." Elena Says

"We have to remember Michael will sense my approach." Castiel Says

"So zero element of surprise." Dean Says

"Walking right into a trap." Sam Says

"Which is set by a full-power archangel." Castiel Says

"Impossible odds. Feels like home. Let's roll." Dean Says

Music swells as the group move in slow motion, weapons drawn towards the elevator, Upstairs in Michael's office he pours himself a drink.

"Come on, fellas. You're gonna miss the show." Michael Says

Siren's are wailing in distance as for horns honking in distance, Michael sighs and sits in his chair, fidgeting.

"Mm." He closes her eyes and smiles as he feels Cas approaching, "There he is." Michael Says

Michael's eyes flash blue as she turns to face the door, Michael moves from the office into the hallway and towards the elevators, looking for Castiel.

"Castiel you do realize I can feel you in here. There's really no need to be," Castiel then attacks from hiding, then punches the Angel, "coy." Michael says

"Michael." Castiel Says

Castiel goes to attack Michael again continuing the fight, Michael pins Castiel on the all with his elbow.

"Tell me something, Cass. Why'd you come alone? Advance scout? Strongest player first?," He then throws Cas against the wall, "Not that strong. But, hey, if they want to miss all the festivities, well, then that's their loss." He Punches Castiel repeatedly in the face with a cocktail ring on her hand, "But I got a schedule to keep." Michael Says

Michael drags Castiel by the coat into the office, she throws him into the room and slowly walks towards him then stops once she sees Sam, Elena and Jack waiting for him.

The three of them goes to attack him but, Michael uses his powers to causing Sam, Elena and Jack to fall to their knees groaning in pain. Dean soon comes from the shadows with the spear pointed at Michael, Dean then swings at Michael several times but the arch Angel blocks every attack.

"You got it." Michael Says

"I sure did." Dean Says, he continues swinging at Michael but misses.

Michael blocks another attack, and stops him mid swing and punches Dean in the face sending him across the room causing him to drop the sword.
He gets back up to his feet, but Michael stops him and grabs Dean by the throat and lifting him off the ground.

"I'm so glad you could make it tonight. I know you hate me, Dean, but don't forget you let me in." Dean is released and drops to the floor, "And now you get to see it everything your mistake will make possible all the bloodshed, all the death all on you." Michael Says

Elena who's crawling over to the spear, gets it in her hands. "Dean!", then slides it to him.

Dean swings the spear and cuts Michael's arm, releasing Jack, Elena and Sam from his crushing grasp.

"Trust me, that's gonna leave a scar." Dean Says

Sam, Jack, Elena and Castiel get to their feet as Dean stands with the spear pointed at Michael's throat.

"Kill him!" Jack Says

All of sudden Dean's vision becomes blurred, he experiences flashes of being possessed by Michael.

"Dean?" Sam Says

Dean continues to have memory flashes, Michael's vessel then falls to the floor and Dean has one more flash of him as a bartender.

"Dean?" Castiel Says

Dean stands frozen as energy crackles as he break the spear. Michael Dean turns to face Sam, Elena, Cas, and Jack, eyes glowing blue.

"No." Elena Says

"Yeah. When I gave up Dean, you didn't think to question it, to ask why? Dean was resisting me. He was too attached to you, to all of you. He wouldn't stop squirming to get out, to get back. So I left but not without leaving the door open just a crack." Michael Says

"Why wait?" Castiel Asks

"To break him, to crush and disappoint him so completely that, this time, he'll be nice and quiet for a change buried. And he is. He's gone." He takes a sip of whiskey, "And now I have a whole army out there, waiting, ready for my command, ready for this." Michael Says, as his fingers prepare to snap.
