As usual I don't own anything. Everything is on fanfiction basis.

PG 15+ for language of violence and gore.

Sorry for such late update. I was kind of tied with Institute's projects and academics. I know a new season has come since my last update... even then my story will go on major AU. And to be clear my story had descriptions of Leviathans even before they appeared in canon... so no similarity whatsoever. But may be spoilers for some!

Now on with the story... and since I'm writing after such a long break I've a feeling that story will not be as coherent as it was supposed to be. But I'll try.

And again sorry for any major grammatical mistake and any coordination anomaly (as I'm not from US and English isn't my mother tongue!)

12. An Ancient War

Dean had stashed his sword and Sam's knuckles that they got from their "Weapon/Treasure Hunt" in the Impala's storage trunk. Adam chose to keep the purple stone in his backpack.

Castiel told them to wait for further information and went back to heaven. Bobby researched the scroll on the war till it was torn to shreds figuratively.

He told the boys that Maea fought with God of Humans eons ago for the treasure of soul tree, an artifact that had appeared in this universe. This universe was devoid of life till then. God and his sons, the angels fought with Maea and her sons and daughters for countless years until finally Maea was pushed to the edge of known universe. God took the tree and experimented with the powers which were apparently new even to him. He then created living things out of that power and hence Gaea, the world before Earth was created but then Maea corrupted this new world with creation of her own... huge monster known as the first ones. These creatures infected the first creations of God and hence Leviathans were born as the first generation of monsters. God was furious with Maea's antics and entered in a raging war with Maea to end it once and for all. A definitive battle was fought near Gaea's orbit which resulted in her destruction.

God then created purgatory at the edge of universe and sealed all monsters beyond that realm. Maea and her children were driven out through purgatory to their own universe. God created Earth from Gaea's leftovers and hence this world came to be. Unbeknownst to him some of Maea's creations remained to corrupt the new world. Hence new monsters... the Supernatural Monsters came to be.

Dean was gaping at the old history of his world. Sam and Adam were also shocked beyond their capacity on the amount of information of the scroll.

Bobby speculated that corruption of humans was after this all happened... much later and hence hell and demons came to be but he was not sure.

"You are somewhat right." Castiel told Bobby pooping out of nowhere.

Bobby rolled his eyes.

Dean asked, "So Cas, what's the update?"

"Maea and her sons are still hiding somewhere and haven't attacked yet. It's still a rumour but it seems she has not brought her other children with her. There are only three whom we all have seen." Castiel replied.

Dean remembered the figures when Adam was brought back to them and when Balthazar was killed. He shivered a bit.

"So where do we fit in all this?" Sam asked puzzled.

"My fath-Uncle Mattatron thinks they are interested in Adam for some reason." Castiel replied calmly which made the brothers shift uncomfortably. Adam was clearly scared, it looked on his face. Dean sighed with tiredness and pain in his eyes. He was apparently getting tired of attraction of everything supernatural to his family.

Sam got up and sat beside Adam with his hand around the youngest shoulder. In any general case Adam would've leaned further for sense of protection but since he had promised Dean that he would not be the reason for Sam's mental breakdown, he remained stiff and didn't return a gesture or look at Sam. It was nothing important but Sam seemed to notice the difference. After all, after you've hugged someone ever since you knew them and suddenly they don't do that is surely out of order!

Dean also saw this new chemistry and he clearly felt guilty without any reason.

Castiel was getting curious at this build up. He stared at Dean and asked, "Is there any trouble that you wish converse with me?"

Dean felt as getting caught for doing something wrong. He replied trailing off, "No."

He tried to divert the flow of conversation, "Why are they interested in Adam anyway? What could they possibly want from him?"

"Uncle thinks that he has the first soul from the tree of souls. That's all I know." Castiel replied. He continued, "Those weapons were given to you to defend yourself from their kind. Now that they are blessed by Maea's grace, they will be invincible to human weapons."

Everyone was surprised at that revelation. Dean felt a sudden urge to hide Adam somewhere. He was not letting anyone near his brother.

Maea is pacing swiftly, her sapphire like robe glistening under the blue twilight near the horizon. Breh, Vihu and Shav were on their knees in front of her.

She spoke like a million harps plucked at once, "My children! The time has come to take what rightfully was ours. To tell Eloah that he is not the only one to exploit the Nepeshasta. He doesn't have the right for it anyways."

Breh spoke, "Mother, we have determined that Aleph is the human named Adam. His body was in the purgatory somehow without the soul but before we could've taken it, Mattatron took it back to the Mortal Plane. We've recently confirmed that he indeed is the prime and his older brother is Bet."

Maea smiled at that information. She waved the mothers of monsters to come forward and said, "I bless thee and thy kind to be unbound of mortal plane."

With this the Monster Mothers glowed with blue aura.

"Now they can assist you to attack the gates of Elysium. Shav, Vihu take the army with you and engage them up there. Breh come with me. We have some other tasks to do and my dear daughters, go forth, bless your children and bring other human souls to light and let them join my fleet." Ordered Maea and shimmered away together with Breh.

Shav and Vihu vanished with the purple smoke trailing behind along with the Monster Mothers.

Earth was the audience for another major upheaval since apocalypse (Of course like back then, this time too human populace was unaware of the true reasons.) Freak accidents, big disappearances (towns), weird citing were becoming more and more common and were voraciously being covered in media.

The Winchester brothers too were noticing these upheavals and helping mankind in their own way. Dean and Sam's weapons were very useful now that monsters were invulnerable to bullets, Silver, Iron name anything. Adam's purple stone was kind of detector and detected the presence of any mutated supernatural monster.

Apparently not every monster tipped the stone off. They had come across a werewolf but he seemed to be calm in his human form and even in transformed stage he was easily hurt by silver bullets. It was after this encounter that they concluded what Adam's stone did and how it was time to use their special weapons.

It was four in the afternoon, when they reached Colorado State in the city of Leadville. Sam was exhausted with all those tracking of monsters and Adam seemed no better. Dean's hand were getting numb with all those continuous driving (He refused to let Sam drive. At the suggestion of Adam's name, he was swearing and pacing like a madman). They so needed a break. Dean pulled near a highway motel.

"Shower's mine first" grumbled Dean. Needless to say Sam and Adam knew Dean needed to cool off. Much of his anger was the result of less sleep and showers. Sam landed on the couch and opened his laptop. Adam was too lethargic to help Sam though he did wonder as of what Sam was built with. They were in a motel and Sam surely was checking for Jobs at this town. Adam was right! As soon as Dean came out of shower Sam started, "Dean there's report from all over this town about unusual crime rate, specifically homicide and many strange faces all over the town. It seems this city has large gathering of monster."

Dean had this 'unbelievable!' look on his face. They had just stopped for some rest and Mr. All Brain had already found his mystery. So he forced, "First some sleep and Food Sammy. I ain't gonna work without some rest."

Adam nodded in support. Sam frowned and groaned, "Fine."

Adam was in-charge for the food. He brought some burgers, a carton of beers, chips and Dean's favourite, Pie! Dean was grinning like Christmas came early. Sam was a bit grumpy as he had less vegetable to munch on. Adam shrugged in defence, 'Hey! They were out of greens. What could've I done?'

"Oh come on Sammy! Sometimes protein rich food is very important. Ask me it's always important." Dean tried to say with mouth full of burger. Sam and Adam looked at Dean with both awe and disgust.

"De, At least finish your food before you say. It's gross." Adam said making faces.

"Yes, Dad!" Teased Dean.

Everything seemed so normal. Well they were so wrong!

It might have been 2 or 3 of past midnight. Sam was lumping over the window side bed. Adam rolled like an armadillo in the middle and Dean was spread over the third one near the front Door. Suddenly Dean woke up to the thud noise that came from below. Dean thought may be from Cashier. That sound was quickly accompanied by a large scream and then dead silence. It was enough for three brothers to jump out of bed and be on defensive mode. Adam let his purple crystal out. It was glowing in the dark room.

Dean hardened his grip on the sword that he took from underneath the bed. Sam wore his knuckles which extended kinda like Wolverine from X-Men. Dean had said that it was not fair that Sam got those and Adam thought it was cool, after all both of them had less impressive weapons. Technically Adam didn't have any weapon. He was just for sensing (Dean had checked, without Adam the stone was just ordinary pebble from ground.) but it was important too. Dean signaled Adam to be behind Dean and Sam covered for Dean.

They waited for few seconds as some footsteps grew closer to their room. Then the door was flung open with a force which half busted the hinges. Two werewolves came inside and jumped on Dean. Dean was quick though. He impaled one of them while getting out of other's way which was knocked back by Sam's pointy knuckles. Two more werewolves came inside and were eager to jump on Adam. Adam tried to hide behind Dean even though he was battling two at same time. Sam quickly killed another one to see this. He felt a little jealous that even though he was trying hard to protect and be as a big brother... lately Adam seemed distant. In frustration he pulled both remaining monsters by buckling them with each of his hand and lifted them up when Dean chopped their head.

Dean was impressed and a bit worried on Sam sudden outburst of rage. He then looked at Adam who was still behind him and then back at Sam. He understood very well what was going on. He was feeling so much guilty and sad on that situation. Adam was sticking to his promise and Dean was making matter worse by taking Adam away from Sam involuntarily. He was feeling like a crappy older brother who knowingly was creating rift among their relationships in trying to keep each of one brothers safe from their respective dangers.

They came out of their room to find more werewolves roaming around with two prominent figures in the middle of road. They were the Alpha and Mother of werewolves' kind. The mother was blessing a new werewolf who turned blue for a mere second.

They quickly came in and decided to make some strategy. Sam had earlier found that even though mining operation had ceased in Leadville, a large amount of silver was available at museum nearby showcasing the history of that city.

"We can use it to greatly weaken them before chopping them down." Sam suggested with concerned face.

Dean was, "How?"

Adam got some idea. He told it to their brothers and soon both Dean and Sam were smiling at their youngest brother's intelligence. They packed their stuff and sneaked from back window and drove from back alley without tipping the gathering.

Soon they were at the museum.

The plan was completed with great precision. Dean and Adam were waiting at an abandoned metal refinery just west of the city. Sam drove impala to lure the monsters back to the refinery. Sam had lost to Dean in paper scissors stone but in truth Dean had tried very hard to win remembering how Sam always picked Stone. He didn't want Adam around Sam alone.

Sam was not thinking about it much but he did noticed that Adam was somewhat avoiding him. It was Dad all over again. Subtle but Sure! He knocked one werewolf in his thoughts and when he was back to his senses he drove the car as fast as he could towards the refinery.

The horde of about 30 werewolves was chasing him like herd of mad cattle. The Alpha and Mother followed the horde. Sam drove car in and horned loudly. It was the cue for Dean and Adam who were waiting with the molten Silver in a furnace bowl.

Sam drove cutting the path and Dean pulled the button to release molten Silver on the pitch road below and immediately the air was filled with loud screeching and cries of monsters directly under the molten liquid or in the path of flowing molten hot Silver. About 27 of werewolves were charred beyond repair! Dean jumped at other remaining werewolves and quickly sliced them in two halves. Sam joined in quickly disposing off another when suddenly he confronted the Alpha who was transformed into pure beastly horror. Dean joined in and a fierce skirmish erupted.

However they were quickly distracted by the voice of Mother Monster.

"Stop it right now or the boy dies." She ordered. Her sharp nails pinching Adam's neck. He was standing in surrendering mode.

Dean and Sam looked back in horror and fear. The Alpha transformed back and smiled. He walked towards her mother and their bodies started to glow blue, their bodies dissolving along with Adam.

"NOOOOO!" Cried, both Dean and Sam.

But then something happened, the purple crystal inside Adam's pocket pulsated and burst out an energy wave which threw his captors off the ground, knocking them hard.

While Adam was still reeling from his frightened state Sam ran in to hold him in his arms and Dean imbued his sword with the molten silver and sliced the mother in middle, cutting a clear half.

The molten silver immediately cauterized the split parts. Dean didn't waste any more moment, he chopped more pieces and kicked them to still molten road. Each part burned and dissolved into the silver.

He was about to turn and attack the Alpha too, but he smoked away.

Adam was still shaking a bit in Sam's arm. Sam looked at Adam with great concern and fear. He said with hoarse voice, "I thought I would lose you again Ade."

Adam was brought to few tears in his eyes too. Seeing him like that something in Sam snapped once more and he fell to ground writhing and seizing as if feeling a large current flowing. Dean came running and grabbed Sam by his shoulders with a sobbing Adam beside him.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to... I..." Adam was not getting words to say while crying at the same time. Dean looked at him with pain and sadness in his eyes.

"It's okay. It's okay. Adam it's not your fault. Please listen to me. Shsh.. We have to get out of this place." Dean hushed with one of his hands on Adam's shoulder. He then waved to carry their bulky brother to the Impala.

Dean drove frantically; he wanted to get out of that city as soon as possible.

-x-

"What do you mean she's dead?" Shav roared at the werewolf Alpha, who bowed in shame and fear.

Shav continued in high voice, "First you let her die and then you dared to come without him? You disappointed me son. It's better that you sleep now."

"Please my lord spar..." Before Alpha could've finished his sentenced he was torn to shred with a snap of Shav's finger.

Shav turned and ordered other monsters to refrain confronting the Winchester brothers for time being and continue with new recruitment which were being sent to Vihu. If only he knew that the brothers were taking a short break as Sam was out of picture for a while.

Vihu on the other hand was attacking the gates of heaven with new and improved monsters that were proving very cumbersome even for angels.

They were more agile, they could transform to equal stature of angel's real form, their nails, claws and teeth were poisonous even for angels. And most troublesome of them all, they were a horde in real sense. Much large in number than angels... the tide of war was tilting towards the Maeans.

Vihu was personally fighting with Raphael with his trident. Some of the fire and thunder from their clash was raining on Earth as firestones, meteors and repetitive thunder strikes at a single place for more than thrice.

Angels were dissipating with blue streaks of light across the universe. Earth was noticing Aurora lights all over the world, a matter of awe for whole humankind.

Though sightseeing was far from Winchester brothers!
