Eternal Night of the Lost Souls: Chapter 3

Author's Note: Okay, Quistis, I have to make this clear: What happened in Chapter 2 had nothing to do with you bugging me endlessly. I have this entire line of stories planned out in advance, so any suggestions that are made will not be put in 99% of the time, since I already know how I want the story to flow. And, Leo's not evil just yet, heh.

Also, the long (and I do mean long) hiatus of no updates to all of my stories was caused by a combination of personal things- all of them happy, not tragic, so don't worry about me :). Don't be mad, either- here, just to make you guys happy, I'm updating ENLS first, the one I've got the most angry e-mails for! Hehehe! Enjoy!



"No." Leo replied. "I can't become a Darklighter, Piper. I'm sorry."

"Don't you want us to be together, Leo?" Piper asked him. "This is the only way."

"No it isn't, Piper." Leo said. "There are spells to get the powers of The Source out of you, and then you can become a Witch again."

Piper gave Leo an angry look.

"You want me to give all of this up?" Piper asked him. "I'm the ruler of the fucking world, Leo! You can't be serious."

"I am." Leo replied. "If even some part of you still loves me, you'll do it."

Piper got off her throne and walked, somewhat seductivley, over to Leo. She grabbed onto him, moving one arm around each neck, and kissed him again. In mid-kiss, she flamed out with him.



The Fallen Savoiur raised both of his arms, and brought them down quickly, causing the ground to shake and sending Paige and Legias down. He snarled at them, revealing his gnashing teeth.

"Is that the best you've got, ugly?" Paige asked him as she got back up.

She threw a white energy orb at him, causing him to stumble back a bit. Legias got up now and charged in, and sliced at his chest. The steel that made up his outer shell, however, wasn't that damaged from it, but he continued slicing away. The Fallen Saviour reached out his right arm, and picked Legias up, holding him off the ground. Paige threw another white energy orb, however, causing him to drop Legias and stumble back again. Legias raised his sword, which glowed with a blue aura, and stabbed the Fallen Saviour in the chest, this time making a noticable crack in the steel.

"Nice!" Paige yelled out.

"I have an idea, Paige." Legias said. "Throw one of your white energy orbs at my sword when it starts to glow again."

"Alright." Paige said, and when the sword glowed blue once more, she did as he asked.

The sword's aura changed from blue to white, combining the duo's powers. Legias then raised his sword and stabbed the Fallen Saviour in the chest again. This time, the steel cracked completley, and the seven-foot behometh fell to the ground. He then dissapred in an angry rage.

"We did it!" Paige yelled out. "We fought off the Fallen Saviour!"

"Yes, yes we did." Legias said.

Paige reached out one arm for Legias, and as she pulled him up, the two kissed passinoatley.



Leo paced in one of the many hallways in Piper's castle, his judgement clouded by his passionate lovemaking with Piper.

Maybe I'm the one being irrational. Leo thought. I always told myself that the Piper I was facing wasn't my Piper....but, she sure seems like my Piper. I told myself that she had to be a cold, bitter, angry being, that she certainly could not truely be happy evil....but she sure seems happy to me. I don't know what it is I should do.

Leo put his right hand up to his forehead, wiping the sweat off of it, as he tried to adjust his shirt and pants so he looked halfway-decent.

"I can take care of that for you."

Instantly, Leo's clothes were fixed, completley devoid of the sweat or general messiness that plagued them a few moments earlier. Leo turned to see Piper flashing him a familair smile.

"Thanks." Leo said meekily.

Piper nodded.

"Things aren't as simple as you're making them out to be, Leo." Piper said. "This isn't about black-and-white, good-versus-evil. Or at least, it doesn't have to be."

Leo nodded weakly.

"I'll give you some time to think things over." Piper said. "You can stay in my best guest room- third room down the hall on the right. I'll be in there later. Right now, I have some buisness to take care of."

Piper flamed out as Leo nodded and turned, walking down the hallway, more confused then perhaps ever before.



Meanwhile, Phoebe's servants were recieving the brutal end of a tantrum, as they were tidying up her spacious bedroom while she was laying, bored, on the bed.

"Who does she think she is, commanding me like a child?" Phoebe said. "I mean, I'm way more evil than she is."

"Of course you are, sire." one of the servants answered.

"I mean, sure, she's The Source, but I'm The Source's Sister, a former Charmed One, and I deserve more respect than 'you're dismissed'!" Phoebe said angrily.

"Of course you do, sire." another one of the servants responded.

"Damn right I do." Phoebe said. "And to top it all off, I never even get to see my god damn husband anymore, since he's so busy with his stupid little project! Where the fuck is my husband?"

"Something about a secret project, sire." another servant answered.

Phoebe nonchalantly raised her left hand, and sent out a stream of fire that caused the human servant to explode in a puff of fire.

"I knew that already." Phoebe said calmly.

She turned to the other servants.

"I need some alone time." she said.

They didn't have to be told twice, and ran out of the bedroom before they met a similar fate as their fallen comrade.

Phoebe waved her right hand, and a man in a dark cloak appeared.

"I am here, sire." the man said.

"Dark One, I have an inquiry." Phoebe said. "Show me the location of Buffy."

"The vampire slayer?" the Dark One replied?

"No, the clown." Phoebe said sarcastically. "Of course the vampire slayer!"

The Dark One nodded and an orb appeared, showing Buffy fighting off several vampires, more than she appeared to be able to handle.

"Ever since The Source answered the request of Ericoth to plunge Sunnydale into eternal darkness, she's had quite the hard time performing her duty." the Dark One said.

Phoebe nodded.

"I want you to get her, and bring her to me." Phoebe said. "Make sure she is brought here alive!"

"As you wish, sire." the Dark One replied. "But why would you want the vampire slayer?"

"She is neccesary." Phoebe said. "I need her....to overthrow my sister."

The Dark One bowed, loyal to Phoebe as always, and dissapered in a puff of black smoke.

"Well, well, well, my dear sister.....I will finally be the one with the power in this family!" Phoebe laughed.



Author's Note (Again): Well, I hope you guys liked it. I decided to do a Buffy crossover, mainly since in my universe Charmed never touched on vampires (remember, the last season never happened) so I could have Buffy's interpration of them exist, along with Buffy herself, and a crossover seemed like it would work considering the apocolypse we have on our hands. Leaves a good amount of unanswered questions: What will Leo's decision be? Will Paige and Legias be able to fight off Cole's cybernatically-enchanced humans? What are Phoebe's plans regarding Buffy and overthrowing her sister? Heh, and I'll actually have a chapter out soon to answer them.
