THE APOCALYPSE

This is your IC Threadpost.

Please keep things labelled with character names in the subject line.

I'll be doing a few subheaders. Pre fight, Battle, Hellbound and Aftermath. Tag into any of these and if you want another subthread made ask me or MJ so it looks all tidy and whatnot.

Go forth and thread mah lovelies

I'm also gonna suggest cutting comms from the battle to the aftermath down to bare mimimum communications while the main battle threads go on to keep it a little bit real time. If you have to for time constraint reasons please mark it post battle

The battle was done. Crowley could barely believe it, still wasn't sure just how he was still alive, but apparently he was. And the displaced were still there.

Well, some of them. He was sure some of them were among the bodies strewn on the ground, and he had seen a few figures being pulled into the vortex that was the Cage. Who was there, he didn't even know. He'd heard some names being screamed, heard Kol's voice among the din, and he wanted to go through the mess to see who had fallen. Who was lost. Fuck, he even wanted to comfort Kol for whoever had gone from him. And he seriously wanted to find Ruby, to.... he didn't even know. Calm her? Comfort her? What could he say now her husband was in the Cage?

But there were still demons, demons who were hesitating now their Lord and Master was gone. And Crowley knew these next few moments would be the key to everything that mattered, what would shape the days and months, even decades and centuries to come.

With a faint puff of smoke, he teleported from where he was to the top of a crypt, his hellhounds immediately at his side. His eyes showed the deep demonic red of his true self, the beasts had barely restrained snarls as they all looked down on the battlefield.

"You've lost." His voice was loud, confident, enough for all the demons to turn to him, expressions wary, scared, angry.

"Your King is dead." Harsh words, especially in Ruby's hearing, but it was true. "I am your King now." And despite everything, he did feel a thrill of exhilaration, as much as his expression remained calm. "So you now all face a choice. Bow down to me or die."

A few seconds of silence filled the air, and some demons did turn and began to flee. Never mind, those would be dealt with later. As for the others...

One by one, they let go of their weapons, blades and guns falling to the ground with clatters that echoed. And they each dropped a knee, bowing to him, offering him their fealty. Crowley, no longer the King of the Crossroads, now the King of Hell.

The demon stood, black eyed, cold. They'd 'won'. People would cheer. People would gloat. People would continue to say that Lucifer had been just another threat to beat. Oh there'd been losses, hard losses, but people endured. They'd live their lives, eventually behappy. But no such life awaited her... She'd have to walk into hell, to the cage itself to get her husband back. She'd have to do exactly what he made her swear not to. But Emily needed her father. Emily needed the influence only he could give. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the means to her salvation. Her friend, the King of the Crossroads, making his move. Stepping up, claiming hell. And for a moment there was hesitation.

It could do him good, or it could hinder him. Who was she to them, the bitch that went native, The demon that betrayed her own. Or was she still his student, his inner circle. Azazel's protege. The one he'd chosen. The one he'd sent to Lilith. Was she still that demon in their eyes? Could she be?

She acted in an instant. The demon killing knife she had grown so fond of lashed out to one of the fleeing demons. Catching it in the throat. Blood spilling from one wound already, she plunged the knife deep into its stomach before dragging it, by the open neck wound toward the crypt where Crowley stood. There was no need for words from her. She was covered in blood, eyes black, dead and cold. But she bowed her head.

"My King." she said simply, letting the body of the first step of her route to Sam fall to the ground with a thud. "You have my fealty."

Despite everything, there was a part of Crowley that still, would always, admire that side of Ruby. The student of Azazel, who could be so beautifully dangerous. And while he knew, even accepted, that she had changed, she was still a demon. Still had that darkness within her and it was incredible.

For a fleeting moment he did wonder what it would be like if he could just let go of all the attachments he had developed and bring her back to what she had once been, to help him rule in power and blood.

But he had changed too. Oh not as much as her. Not by a long shot, her with her epic love and admittedly cute daughter. But he had grown attached to people, even against his better judgment. And he was no longer quite as self centered as he had been even a year ago. He cared. No double negatives involved.

Not that he could show that in that moment, not in front of these demons kneeling before him, who still needed to prove their loyalty to him. No weakness could be shown, the words he wanted to give to Ruby had to remain unspoken.

He teleported down to appear before Ruby, tucking his finger beneath her chin to raise her face, to meet her eyes, hers still black and his still red. "I accept your fealty." The words were simple, and to others his face would seem impassive, but to her, who had known him so many centuries, he just hoped she could see what he wasn't saying.

We'll fix this.
We'll get them back.
We won't give up.
We'll talk.
Later.

When they were alone, when it was safe, only then could they begin to truly plan what to do next. For now, he just hoped she understood everything he wasn't saying to her.
