The Power of Four
After setting up a crystal cage in the attic the girls and Lily chanted the summoning spell in which they once used to summon the demons Cole and Krell.
"Magic forces black and white, reaching out through space and light. Be he far or be he near, bring us the demon Ethan here." The girls and Lily chanted and within a moment Ethan flamed into the attic, and began to throw electricity charged energy balls at the sisters.
The girls easily dodged the energy balls and within a moment Lily concentrated and threw Ethan back into the crystal cage telekinetically but although the crystal cage was once powerful against evil beings, Ethan was much too powerful to be held within.
The girls and Lily quickly gathered in the same spot and threw their bottles of vanquishing potion before chanting.
"Evil hiding in plain sight. I use this spell with all my might, stop you're changing from and shape, this vanquish now seals your fate." The girls and Lily chanted but was soon to know that the spell or potion had no effect on Ethan, and he laughed before flaming away back into the Underground.
Luckily neither the sisters nor Lily was not harmed during the almost vanquish of the highly evil demonic Ethan. Lily began to get angry.
"I thought you said this vanquish would work!" Lily screamed to only end up in tears. "I do not want him to hurt me."
"Oh, sweetie." Phoebe said sympathetically taking the child Lily into her arms to try and comfort her.
"We had no idea it would not work. After all some spells we cast do not always work, perhaps the power behind the spell is too weak" said Piper.
"Maybe this vanquish is not meant to be a Power of Three vanquish, we could try to summon our sister Prue to help us. Because she was quite powerful wasn't she, before I joined the Power of Three." Said Paige, she always wanted to meet the eldest sister she never knew.
"Oh yes, we could try that." Smiled Phoebe, before turning to face Lily, "Why don't you go downstairs for a rest, we will call you when we are ready for another go at the vanquish." Lily nodded and went downstairs.
"Phoebe, we were never meant to see Prue again we learned that on the day of Prue's funeral." Said Piper, not wanting to get her hopes up.
"Yes, but maybe Prue and we are ready to see each other again" said Phoebe.
"Okay, we will try. But don't get your hopes up about seeing her again" said Piper.
"Yay!" Gleamed Paige and Phoebe.
Piper sighed lightly before going to the altar, and setting up the altar with sage sticks, five white candles, and incense. The three girls gathered around the altar and pricked their fingers to allow their blood to drop into the cauldron and they began to chant.
"Hear these words. Hear my cry, spirit from the other side. Blood of our blood, Prue Halliwell, Come to us, we summon thee. Cross now the Great Divide." The girls chanted and without a knowing the elders allowed Prue Halliwell to cross the Great Divide and before the sisters a mass of white swaddling orbs gave way for Prue Halliwell to appear.
"Blessed be my sisters." Said Prue happily.
Piper and Phoebe cried in happiness.
"I didn't think that the spell would work" said Piper.
"It has." Said Prue
"It is so good to see you again." Said Phoebe. "I would like you to meet our youngest sister, Paige"
"Hello" was said to both Paige and Prue. Prue, Piper and Phoebe hugged each other.
"So, what is it that you wish from me?" Asked Prue.
"We ask for your help to vanquish a certain most powerful demon, seeming more powerful than the Source himself." Said Paige
"Can't you use the Power of Three?" Asked Prue
Piper and Phoebe shook their heads. "No, we tried and it would not work."
"Okay." Sighed Prue before continuing; "well I have an idea, remember the spell that bought us our powers in the very beginning?" The girls nodded. "We could use that spell and invoke a Power of Four with all of us." Prue flipped the pages of the Book of Shadows to the very first spell that Phoebe chanted.
"Instead of saying we sisters three, replace it with four" Prue said, Piper, Phoebe and Paige nodded before the four sisters held hands and chanted the spell.
"Is there a need to explain why we summoned you?" Asked Phoebe, with that Prue said, "No, I have been watching from the heavens. Poor Lily, but I am sure with all five of us chanting the spell we can get rid of that demon, do you still have some potion left?" Asked Prue
Phoebe nodded, "I will go downstairs and get Lily and some more potion filled bottles"
Two minutes went by Lily and Phoebe went back to the attic to join Prue, Piper and Paige. Phoebe handed over the bottles to her sisters.
"Let's try again, shall we?" Said Paige.
The four Halliwell sisters and Lily stood in a circle facing each other before chanting that summoning spell once again.
"Magic forces black and white, reaching out through space and light. Be he far or be he near, bring us the demon Ethan here." The girls and Lily chanted.
Within a moment Ethan flamed into the attic, "How dare you summon me again!" Furious with anger he began to throw high voltage energy balls at the sisters once again.
The girls easily dodged the energy balls and within a moment the girls with telekinesis concentrated to lock Ethan into the powerful crystal cage, this time trapping him inside.
The girls once again threw their potion bottles at Ethan after chanting the same spell, "Evil hiding in plain sight. I use this spell with all my might, stop you're changing from and shape, this vanquish now seals your fate." The girls and Lily chanted, and finally the demon Ethan exploded in flames and diminished from the sister's sight.
Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Paige and Lily sighed in relief and thanked the likes of good that they succeeded in destroying the cruel father of Lily.
"Thankyou Phoebe, Paige and Piper." Lily said smiling.
"Hear now the words of the witches, the secrets we hid in the night. The oldest of Gods are invoked here. The great work of magic is sought. In this night and in this hour, I call upon the Ancient Power. Bring your powers to we sisters four! Make us all Charmed once more." The four sisters chanted and in a shining light the girls gleamed and their powers all became stronger.
"The Power of Four, is what we now are" smiled Paige.
