"What?" Piper screamed. "How can they not know? It's their job to know."
"They can't come up with anything. They don't know why demons are gaining strength."
"But let me guess." Paige interjected. "They want us to find out don't they?"
Marcus nodded his head.
Something about him intrigued Paige. It wasn't a sexual attraction though. She had Henry. She couldn't figure it out which frustrated her.
"I have a feeling that were forgetting something." Phoebe said.
The Lazarus demon shimmered in.
"Now I remember."
He waved his hand at Piper and Marcus sending them entering some boxes and crates. Taylor jumped up to attack but he waved his hand at her sending through the doorway to the attic. She hit the wall hard and then rolled down the stairs.
"Who's next?"
"This is not good. Not good at all." Paige said nervously.
"Enough of this." Phoebe spat at the demon.
She moved towards him. He swung at her but she moved back. She levitated and kicked him with both feet sending him backwards toward the attic door. Phoebe slowly drifts down to the ground, struggling at little bit.
"Phoebe you got your powers back? When?" Paige questioned.
"Not now Paige. GET PIPER!!" Phoebe ordered.
Paige started towards Piper & Marcus. When the Lazarus demons got up.
"No you don't witch." He waved his hand sending Paige backwards, knocking over the stand holding the Book Of Shadows. He then turned to Phoebe and Before she could react he punched he telekinetically sending her to the middle of the room.
"I'm going to kill the Charmed Ones." He said pleased.
Suddenly the door to the attic was encased in ice. The Lazarus demon turned just in time for it to explode. Taylor stood their, a cut on her forehead and a bruise on her arm.
"You going to regret that, you sorry excuse for a demon." Taylor said out of breathe.
"Oh I'm so..."
Before he could finish Taylor raised her hand at him and he was frozen solid.
"Jackass." Taylor said sounding annoyed.
"Paige, Piper, Phoebe, Marcus, are you guys okay."
Phoebe got up slowly, rubbing her cheek which was red. Piper & Paige were both unconcious and Marcus got up to heal Piper first then Paige. Everyone gathered around the ice statue of the Lazarus demon.
"What now?" Paige asked
"My lord, what is happening?" Marik asked.
"They have captured the Lazarus demon. I have no doubts that they'll start questioning him." Mor'tron answered.
"What now." Marik asked.
"Did you tell him who to identify as the master of this all?".
"Yes, I did. He knows exactly what to say." Marik responded
"Good. Good. Everything is falling into place."
Fade to black.
"Okay, Taylor when Paige has the crystals set up you unfreeze him okay?" Phoebe coached.
"For the fifth time Phoebe I understand. This is not my first day as a witch." Taylor said.
"What are you going to do once you unfreeze him?" Marcus questioned.
"We're going to force him to tell us who's behind all of this." Paige said.
"And if he doesn't feel like talking to us?" Marcus said again.
"Well that's what this stun potion is for." Phoebe said bottling potions.
"What if he still doesn't talk?" Taylor asked this time.
"Well then we'll bury him next to Elvis and call it a day. If that doesn't get him talking I don't know what will." Piper said grinning.
Phoebe and Paige joined them. Phoebe handed Piper, Paige, and Taylor two viles each.
"Okay Paige your up." Phoebe said.
"Crystal, circle." The cage appeared around the demon.
"Taylor go." Phoebe instructed.
Taylor waved her hand and the demon quickly unfroze.
"What's your name?" Piper asked sternly.
"Kazah, what's it to you?"
"Oh, somebody upset that they got captured by the big bad witches."
"You wouldn't be so confident if I wasn't in this cage witch."
"Be nice, or we'll skip the small talk and just put you in the ground already." Piper said.
"Who are you?" Marcus interrupted the girls.
"Movida." he answered.
"Okay Movida, who sent you?" Marcus asked again.
The demon hesistated for a moment and then looked around the room at the witches and one whitelighter that surrounded him. He took a deep breathe before answering.
"Nakadia. Nakadia sent me."
"What kind of name is Nakadia?" Phoebe said snickering.
"After all of these years, you just now ask that?" Paige said trying not to laugh.
"Focus." Piper directed them. She turned towards Kazah.
"What does she want with us?" Piper asked.
"You're the charmed ones. Everyone is after your powers and your book. You should know that by know." Kazah answered.
"Right." Marcus said not believing the demon.
"This is way too easy. Since when do demons just volunteer information like this. I don't by it. Piper throw a potion."
"No problem." Piper threw a potions at the demons feet. He instanly falls to his knees screaming in pain.
"Now, are you sure you weren't lying?" Paige said grinning.
Just then Marik orbed into the attic already holding a crossbow.
"Marcus, what the hell is going on?" Piper asked confused.
"Marik? It's ...impossible. You're... dead." Marcus said barely gathering the words.
"Nice to see you to brother it's been a while." Marik said aiming the crossbow at Marcus.
Marik was prepared to fire at Marcus, but then he suddenly turned to Paige and shot her straight throw the chest. She fell to the ground instantly.
"Paige!" Piper and Phoebe shouted in unison.
Taylor threw a stun potion at Marik, but he vanished in a black glow.
"Damn it." Taylor said.
"What happened? Where'd he go?" Marcus questioned.
"That was only a doppleganger. He was never really here." Taylor replied.
Paige screamed out in pain as Piper pulled the arrow out of her chest.
"Marcus, hurry." Phoebe said.
Marcus rushed over to Paige and placed his hands over Paige's wound. A glow emerged and she was healed in seconds.
"Like I said." Paige started. "They keep picking on me. They always pick on me.
Piper turned to Marcus.
"Do you want to explain to me what just happened her?" She said angrily.
Marcus looked on remorseful.
"That was my brother."
The room fell silent at this revelation.
"My brother who I thought was dead." Marcus continued.
Cut to the underworld
"Well my lord, how was that?" Marik asked pleased with himself.
"I'm impressed. You resisted the urge to get revenge on your brother and carried out my orders. For that you shall be rewarded." Mor'tron said.
"What do we do now?" Marik questioned
Mor'tron simply responded. "We wait"
