[Important question: Shall I continue this book for upcoming seasons or make a new one?]

Season Five

"Come on!" Dean cried.

Sam let his brother and sister-in-law pull him away from the sigil. They ran and the doors slammed shut. They rattled the doors. Light burst through the cracks.

There was a high-pitched noise. Sam turned to look at Dean and Alana, and the brothers looked back at the light. They squeezed their eyes shut, Sam held up a hand to block the light, and covered their ears. They fell to their knees.

The light reached the edges of the sigil, then everything went white.

PLANE

A cartoon red devil leaned over a large open book. "What in the devil is your name?"

"Sa-Sa-Sa-Sa-Yo-Yosemite Sam," Yosemite Sam stammered.

"Yosemite Sam!" The devil flipped through the book.

Sam, Dean and Alana were sitting on a plane. They looked around, but no one seemed to have noticed.

"What the hell?" Dean and Alana asked.

"I don't know," Sam replied.

The pilot said over the intercom, "Folks, quick word from the flight deck. We're just passing Ilchester, them Ellicott City, on our initial descent into Baltimore-"

Dean frowned. "Ilchester? Weren't we just there?"

Alana nodded with a frown.

COCKPIT

The pilot continued. "So if you'd like to stretch your legs, now would be a good time to-" A column of light shot into the sky. "Holy crap!"

The shock waves knocked the plane off kilter. People were thrown around the plane. Oxygen masks dropped down. Sam, Dean and Alana put theirs on as the light outside grew blinding. The high-pitched white noise sounded again. Dean looked out the window, terrified. Alana whimpered softly and Dean took her hand, squeezing it gently to try to still both their fears.

CAR

Sam, Dean and Alana drove in a rental car.

A radio announcer spoke. "-and Governor O'Malley urged calm saying it's very unlikely an abandoned convent would be a target for terrorists, either foreign or homegrown."

"Change the station," Dean instructed.

Sam pushed a button on the digital radio and another radio announcer said, "Hurricane Kinley, unexpectedly slammed into the Galveston area-"

A third radio announcer spoke. "-announced a successful test of the North Korean War-"

A fourth said, "-a series of tremors-"

A fifth spoke. "-swine flu-"

The radio shut off. Sam sighed and silence fell in the car.

"Dean, Alana , look-" Sam began.

Dean cut him off. "Don't say anything." He paused. "It's okay. We just got to keep our heads down and hash this out, all right?"

"Yeah, okay."

Alana felt for the backs of the front seats, then poked her head between them. "First things first - How'd we end up on Soul Plane?"

"Angels, maybe? I mean, you know, beaming us out of harm's way?"
