This is the 5th of my Charmed stories following P3s Printed Perils.
Part 1: 'Prue should be the first to fall!'
guest villainess:Yasmin Bleeth(from Nash Bridges) as Cassandra
"You are sure this will work?" Cassandra the luscious but evil witch asked.
"Yes, the crystal,"(referring to a small black crystal on a silver chain around her throat)will hold 1 spell which can affect 1 person." Another warlock she was buying the crystal from replied and continued,"Just say all but the last 2 words whenever you want and the last two words later. The crystal will activate and the spell will go off 13 seconds later."
"Excellent!" She said with a beautiful but evil smile.
Friday afternoon Cassandra arrives at Halliwell manor, thinking 'After my plan works not only will I gain immortality and become a warlock but the mightiest of all time!
Getting in with a small spell Cassandra puts down a number of gym bags and pulls out a chair. She opens one of the bags which is packed with rope, cloths and duct tape. After sitting down she hikes slightly her already quite short light purple minidress and waits tapping her matching pumps with their 3" heels.
Suddenly Leo orbs in saying "I detected some strange spell here, Hey! Who are you?" Cassandra smiles and answers, "I am here for the Charmed ones powers and I cast that spell knowing you would come and join me?" Leo has a stunned look on his face as she slinks towards him and continues, virtually purring, as she does her best to seduce
him. "The elders will always be in your way with Piper, but not me!"
Leo begins to sweat and wavers,but realizes, "What I am feeling isn't real it's your power!" So saying he shakes off her attempt to bedazzle or charm him.
"Too bad, for you!" Cassandra says and gestures at Leo! Nothing happens. "Why didn't you age and die??" She shouts.
"I don't have that problem!' Leo responds and orbs behind the evil witch and grabs her! "I can't have you hurting Piper and her sisters, thanks for bringing the rope!' Bending her over the couch Leo ties her wrists and and starts on her elbows saying,"Get free and age my Piper!! Not gonna happen! What I didn't already know about ropes from the boy scouts, I learned from Morpheus when I kept untying Piper."
Cassandra is quiet as Leo ties her knees and ankles as well and then to the chair she intially sat in. She thinks of the spell she mostly cast and stored yesterday:
"Leo, servant of the light,
Time to visit a world on the edge of eternal night!
Ask not for whom tolls the bell,
You are banished to a land where CHAOS"
"I am sorry, "Leo continues, "but to make sure you can't hurt those I love, I will have to gag you.
Cassandra responds by uttering the last two words of her spell, "Would dwell!" Sensing something is wrong Leo quickly stuffs her mouth with the cloth and covers it with the duct tape he had readied, just before he begins to fade away!
Seeing the surprise on his face Cassandra laughs even through her gag and thinks, 'That worked perfectly! These bonds won't keep me from using my real power! Prue should be the first to fall!'
Leo arrives on an open field and sees about a hundred knights in twisted red and black armor as well as many other evil looking beings. He notices one of them looks like Prue! However he has no time to worry about that as sensing the goodness inside Leo drive the Chaos Knights mad and they level their dark lances and charge Leo screaming, "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!"
Part 2:
As the Chaos Knights charged him Leo thought quickly, 'If I am facing an evil army then,' Looks behind him, 'Yes an opposing army!' Leo takes off running at top speed with the elite of the Chaos host in pursuit! Glancing back and seeing them gaining rapidly as they continue their blasphemous warcries, he realizes, 'Those hellish knights are virtually berserk! If I make a couple of short orbs I can stay just ahead of them...' Leo does this and the Knights howl in frustration but keep after him until Leo stops. Leo thinks 'Just a little closer you bloodthirsty butchers!' He smiles waves to the oncoming fiends and just as the Chaos general's lance is about to strike orbs away! Just then the frustrated knights realize that in
chasing Leo they have gone into point blank range for the artillery of the entire human army! "BLOOD FOR " BOOOOOOOOOM!! Dozens of cannonballs followed by mortar shells rip the knights to pieces!
Two radically different reactions to this: Leo thought, 'I have never felt such evil before! Wherever I am at least I helped the good guys pick up a win! Those monsters won't be butchering any innocent people now! I need to investigate that woman who looked like Prue!
Prudencia, a young witch newly flirting with the forces of Chaos cursed furiously! "Come back you fools! We can't win without the general and his knights! Oh blast! I had better get out of here after killing the prisoner of course! With that Pruedencia headed for a large tent not noticing in the confusion that some one was following her!
Back on Earth Prue came home from work. She went into the living room to find a woman very securely bound and slumped over in a chair! Seeing the long dark hair but not the face Prue thought it was and yelled , "PIPER"! Rushing over to the woman she lifted her head to see, "You aren't Piper, OHHHH!" As Cassandra locked eyes with Prue she felt pain and a near irresistible tugging!
'Oooh I must have fainted!' Prue thought and tried to lift a hand to her head, but couldn't move! to her horror she realized she was bound and gagged, in the OTHER WOMAN'S BODY!! Cassandra/Prue smiled at her and said, "Thanks Prue! Your body and powers are now mine and I will use them to capture Piper and Phoebe! I need the 3 of you alive ... until tommorrow night at midnight that is!!"
Part 3: 'It's not for her Piper it is for you!'
Trying to avoid notice in the confusion Leo followed the Prue look alike. With the rest of the Chaos horde attacking even when their cause was lost it was just possible for Leo to make it to the tent in one piece! Looking in he sees not only Pruedencia but another familiar face. 'Her?' He thought, 'But if this Prue is evil then this woman who looks exactly like the witch who sent me here must be good!' Leo thought as he saw Cassandra II tightly tied to the tent pole a lot like Leo had done the evil witch back on Earth. The poor woman's wrists, elbows, knees and ankles were all tied. She was secured to the post and heavily gagged as well. Showing no mercy Pruedencia picked up a sacrificial dagger and said, "You should have joined me and my sisters in serving the dark powers, Cassandra! Your devotion to humanity means you must die!"
Back at Halliwell Manor, Cassandra moved Prue's chair into the attic and gloated. "Struggle all you want Prue, you will never get free!" Putting her hands on her captive's shoulders she whispered in her ear continuing: "I tricked Leo into thinking I had the power to age instead of stealing bodies. So before I cleverly got rid of him he tied me VERY well to protect his little witch and her sisters. It is quite impossible to get free. I would like to meet that Morpheus guy he mentioned though, he said he learned a lot untying Piper, hmmm." Prue helpless to escape her bonds tried to growl defiance at her captor but it came out more like a whimper because of her gag. Just then from downstairs Piper's voice said, "Prue, I am home! Hey, I
know where Phoebe is but where are you?"
"BLOOD FOR" Wham! Pruedencia was interrupted in her murder of Cassandra II as Leo tackled her from behind!
Pinning her to the ground Leo thought,'I really can't bear to kill her even if she is evil. She is sort of Prue, maybe something can be done!' Rolling over by Cassandra 2 Leo said, "I really need these!" With that Leo began untying Cassandra 2 from the ankles up while holding Pruedencia with his other hand and a leg scissors around her arms. 'I actually learned something from that wrestling Phoebe made us watch that night!'
Back on Earth Piper wearing a short black dress and matching pumps (the Devils Music outfit) walked into the attic and said "What's going on here?"
"MMMMMPH!!" 'Piper she stole my body!' Prue screamed through her gag and tried to develop telepathy and warn her sister.
She failed miserably. "Even if she is evil Prue, she is already tied up enough, put that rope away!" Piper said and showing mercy even to an evil witch went to give her some water not realizing. 'It's not for her Piper it is for you!' Cassandra thought and as Piper turned her back made her move!
Part 4:keep turning the servants into toads!"
"HEY" Piper yelped as Cassandra telekinetically wrapped ropes around her from behind! "This isn't funny Prue! You know how much I hate being tied up!"
Cassandra forced Piper to her knees, pulled her wrists behind her, and began tying them by hand before she answered saying, "Actually while this is her body, I am not Prue she is!"(points at Prue who is struggling furiously but without success)
"What? you stole Prue's MMMPH!" Piper was cut off as Cassandra took ruthless advantage of her mouth being wide open in
surprise to stuff a gag in it! She then taped Piper's mouth shut and tied her elbows, knees and ankles. She also adjusted the first rope so that it pinned Piper's arms to her body at her stomach. using Prue's power to move Piper downstairs she stashed the middle sister in her own pantry!
Before she closed the door Cassandra said "I will let you spend your last day on Earth here near to where you spent so
much time, little witch chef!" The door was closed and Piper was a prisoner in her own kitchen!
"So that is my problem Cassandra." Leo said to Cassandra II as he finished telling his tale and securing Prudencia. Prue's counterpart now was bound and gagged just as well as Cassandra II was earlier and didn't like it at all! She glared at Leo trying to kill him through sheer force of will. She failed miserably!
Cassandra II spoke, "Returning you will be difficult as Chaos doesn't want anything to escape it's unholy grasp, but it might just work!" With that she ripped an amulet from Pruedencia's neck! "You see neither I or her and her sisters were what you would consider good or evil, we just wanted to be left alone. However Pruedencia was tempted by Chaos with the power of this warpstone amulet and she led her her sisters astray as well. If all 3 amulets can be obtained then I can use their power to send you back and perhaps reclaim the sisters from Chaos before it is too late!"
After a few more explanations Leo tried to summarize his task, "so I need to go to this old former vampire's manor and get the other two witches and their amulets and bring them to your cottage and then you can send me back and help them? I'll do
my best!"
Orbing away Leo arrives at an old and dark manor. 'They don't know me so let's just play it by ear at first.' Leo thought as he knocked. "We wouldn't have this problem if you didn't keep turning the servants into toads!" A familiar voice was heard just before the door opened and Leo saw ...
