"It's a trap Castiel and you know it"

Uriel protested for the nth time. There was no way Castiel was facing Cariel alone. She'd not allow that.

The news report said something on some psycho with wings, claiming to be trillionaire tech genius, Castiel Wellington's twin and had demanded Caz meet her on the old park at central Dawn and had shown the damages incurred and since then Caz had been planning on surrendering to Cariel to keep the Earth safe(or mostly Dawn city) ever since she found out she had lost her powers.

And if Castiel was to face her evil twin now she had lost her powers, she'd be toast, that Uriel was so sure of.

"I've got Riri, I don't have a choice" Castiel said with a subdued air

"Yes you do have a choice" Uriel retorted "you are just giving up "

Castiel stopped her pacing, she knew Uriel hated the situation and to be quite honest she  did too but she had been selfish all her life but for once she needed to do the right thing.

Taking out her new cell phone since she had gotten rid of her old one, Castiel types in a number she knew by heart.

"Listen up weirdo, I don't care if you're the president of America or the King of England, just leave me alone" her assistant yelled after Castiel had called the fifteenth time.

************************************

Castiel drove into the location Cariel had chosen,  which was an old park located at the centre of Dawn city. Stepping down from the black Ducati superleggera V4  she had gotten last summer she was surprised to see only Cariel.

"Look who finally showed up" Cariel taunted, smirking as Castiel walked toward her in anger, her movement lacking it's usually elegance, she now walked like an angry male wrestler who had suffered defeat at the hands of a rival.

Good, she was going to enjoy bending Castiel.

Castiel suddenly found herself surrounded by an army of angels who hadn't been there a second ago and they all had their weapons drawn.

"shit" she cussed out realising she was trapped.

"Get down" one red eyed angel ordered.

Caz knew him, Pulak, a seraph she had once saved when Samael almost killed him with his own weapon eons ago. Him having red eyes meant he had embraced darkness instead of light as all angels were supposed to.

" Kneel before me" Cariel commanded as she walked from the cover of her bodyguards to stand before Castiel.

"Never will I Kneel before a clown like you" Castiel hissed with defiance.

Cariel's left eye twitched at Castiel's defiance, she punched Castiel on the jaw in anger.

Castiel winced inwardly but never made a sound. knowing she was outnumbered, one to one thousand she swallowed her pride and knelt before Cariel causing her twin to smirk on victory.

"How the mighty have fallen" Cariel taunted  "you're no longer the angel of Death, you're just a shell of what you once were"

"You've got what you want Cariel, just leave Dawn city out of your Crazy plans" a subdued Castiel said.

Cariel let out a loud laugh, how the heck was Castiel still ordering her, she ought to burst that bubble Castiel surrounded herself with.

" Are you kidding me" Cariel yelled "I'm not done with you slow poke, I'm gonna destroy everything you built, I'm gonna take everything you have and I'm going to make you suffer" Cariel laughed maniacally " then I'll keep alive do you'd know you failed"

"oh but you failed Cariel" Castiel stood abruptly "I came prepared"

"Huh?" Cariel gave her a look that meant Castiel was stupid.

"Bingo" Castiel yelled out the signal which meant she was ready.

Gunshots sounded immediately as men and women in black cloaks appeared from thin air wielding weapons that belonged to a military armory and shooting at the fallen angels.

When the angels realised that they were being attacked the pulled out their weapons attacking the reapers and  ravens who were killing them off with weapons which ordinarily wouldn't nick or hurt an angel. they  roared flying from every direction and facing off their enemies.

Cariel got angry at the realisation she had been set up, she draws out her scythe (a new one from the Golden city armory) and attacked an unarmed Castiel who saw the attack a  second late but managed to avoid the sharp tip from piercing her heart by blocking the attack with her right arm.

Castiel arm hurt badly as it took the brunt of the hit and she staggered back narrowing avoiding the next hit. in her pain she didn't notice Cariel had appeared next to her.

A jab in the lungs left Castiel winded,
Caz lets out a painful howl as  she felt the buzzing in her arm, the pain as intense as if she had been stung by a thousand fire ants at the same time.

Castiel spits out golden blood and when Cariel saw this, she took advantage and punched Castiel's face not giving her a chance to defend herself. Seeing that Castiel couldn't defend herself, she raised her scythe with all her strength and struck Castiel in the heart.

Caz eyes widened as the scythe came toward heart. Closing her eyes in resignation of her fate (as for the first time in her life she was going to experience her own death)  she passes out.
