Summary: Cole and the Charmed Ones team up with the Scoobies to battle the First.

AU. Takes place after Centennial Charmed.

Prologue:

It was a typical day in Sunnydale. The birds were singing, the sun was shining,

and the Apocalypse was coming. Buffy and her friends gathered in her house trying

to figure out how to defeat the First.

"Listen guys, we've been searching for a way to kill this creep for weeks, and we're

not getting anywhere," said Buffy. "We need to find something now."

"Yeah, well gee Buffy, The First has that whole don't touch me deal going. Kind of

tough to chop off his head what with the whole non-solid thing.", Xander chimed in.

"Oh come on, there has to be something! A spell, a weapon, anything!"

"Well, pet maybe we can hold hands and sing Kumbayah. Always works in the bloody

movies."

"Spike, you really should be shutting up now." Xander through a contemptuous look at the

blonde vampire. Spike gave him a dirty look. Willow moved to intervene. Again. After making

the two men go to their neutral corners, she threw Buffy a weary look.

"We could so use some help."

The First listened to the Scoobies with vague amusement. They actually thought they could stop

it! The time when they might have had a chance of defeating it had already come and gone. Only two

people in all of history, working together, had the power to destroy the First. And one of them was dead.

The other was useless now, except as a means of completing it. The First smirked and continued to

monitor the Slayer and her little friends.

Meanwhile, in another part of California, there was an odd disturbance. For just a split second, the border

between life and death weakened, allowing something to get through. A man. He fell to his knees, exhausted.

Breaking free of Limbo had used up nearly all of his magical energy. As he fell into unconsciousness, he

whispered one word, "Phoebe."

So what does everyone think so far? Reviews are welcome. This is my first fan fiction. Please be kind.
