"Sam…I won't leave you…" Dean said, as blood pooled his mouth. He stared up into Sam's eyes, hoping his word would reach Sam where Lucifer locked him away.

'Dean!' Sam yelled in his mind. 'Lucifer! Leave my brother alone!'

Sam used all his strength to push Lucifer into the back of his mind and taking control of his body again. He let go of Dean and unclenched his bloody hand. He felt remorse from inadvertently hurting his brother. Sam grabbed the Horseman's rings from his pocket and looked at Dean with a sad smile.

"It's going to be okay Dean," Sam said.

He turned around and threw the rings onto the grass before stating the incantation to open the portal to the Cage.

"Bvtmon Tabges Babalon!" Sam chanted and watched as the ground opened up, waiting to take Lucifer.

Tortured screams could be heard from the hole. Sam looked fearfully at it before turning back to Dean. He tried to hide his fear from his brother but knew Dean had saw it. Dean would always know. As Sam was about to fall within the pit, Michael stopped him.

"Sam! You cannot do this, step away from the hole! I have to fight my brother!" Michael yelled, ready to fight Sam.

"You have to make me!" Sam remarked back.

Michael took a chance and grabbed Sam as he moved closer to the hole. Sam was having none of it and pulled Michael with him. Both Sam and Michael fell into the pit, on their way to the cage that had been Lucifer's cell for eons.

Sam blanked out on his way down, he didn't know how long he had been out but once he woke up he knew that he wasn't alone. Looking around he saw Lucifer as he was in his previous vessel, his brother Adam, and Michael, who looked similar to Adam but a little more bulky.

"Hello Sam. Had enough sleep?" Lucifer grinned at him devilishly. "Welcome to the Cage!"
