Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry!!!! I really did not realise I had left this fic so long!!!! Admittedly with exams and fics that I prefer this has been on a back burner but 3 months nearly 4 by the time I get this written is just horrendous!!!!! Sorry! But to be honest I'm not really liking this fic anymore...I'd abandon it but I'd hate myself for not finishing it so I'm gonna get it done as quick as possible...its dying a slow painful death and needs putting out of its misery...

"Leo! Leo! Get your ass down here!" Piper scowled, "You know what I definitely preferred it when he was hanging around here, didn't take him as long for him to get his ass down here."

"Piper, you could just summon him." Paige put in, "There's like a zero chance that he's gonna respond now over the other 10 times you called him."

"I agree with Paige, just summon his ass and trap him in the crystals so he can't go anywhere. That way we get some information out of him and you get to see your husband. Two birds, one stone."

Piper just shot her sisters a death glare and continued trying to call Leo, not that he'd responded at any time during the past 3 hours but still, it couldn't hurt to try again. And again. And again.

.....................................

"Jack? Are you here? Jack? Come on Jack, answer me! I know you're here somewhere, Christy told me she saw you. Jack? Please answer me, I've got nowhere to go, I walked out on Christy. Please Jack, I need you."

"What?" Jack's surly voice cut through Billie's pleas. "I don't have a choice but to kill you, you know that right? I told you that if you ever came through to this dimension I'd have to. The sisters got lucky beating you the first time, they won't manage again. And I can't let another dimension fall when I have the power to stop it." Jack's voice had turned cold, the sort of cold that Billie had only heard once before, when Jack had given her this message to start with. It still chilled her that he could talk about killing her completely emotionless.

"Jack please, just let me go home. The sisters can handle Christy, just let me go home."

Jack laughed bitterly, "You really think I can let you do that? You think I can let you take that chance? Let you have the chance to betray me again and go back to your sister? Give you the chance to destroy yet another dimension? Or go tell your precious sister that the girls don't have a chance of defeating her? Sorry sweetheart, but it ain't happening."

"Please," Tears had started running down Billie's face, "I promise Jack, just let me go home."

"I'm sorry." Jack whispered his voice cracking with emotion. "But I can't let this go on any longer. Forgive me."

Cradling a fireball in his hands Jack stood over the crying blonde trying to summon up the courage to kill her, but seeing his ex girlfriend curled on the floor so defenceless had shattered Jack's resolve. For the both of them the 30 seconds that passed seemed like an eternity. Leaning down Jack gave Billie one last kiss before setting his fireball loose on her and summoning a dagger which he plunged into her heart.

"I love you."

"You too Jack, you too." Billie whispered before breathing her last breath, Jack stared at the blood on his hands and promptly broke down in the middle of the Underworld not giving a damn about the demons that would almost certainly find him.

"I'm so sorry Billie, but I had to. I'm so sorry."

The man crumpled over the girl's dead body and wept. It might be a war but Jack had seen too many people die to not care about the one he had killed himself.

"So both men who could be some sort of help in this are currently ignoring us. You don't reckon they're having some mind blowing sex do you?"

"Phoebe! I think we'd know by now if Leo was gay!"

"He could be bi...anyway just trying to lighten the mood! God knows someone needs to, this house is like a morgue!"

"Phoebe! Just shut up will you?"

"Fine." Phoebe went into a sulk and flopped down on the sofa, "Party pooper."

"You could always be helpful and go ask our nephew if future Chris had any dealings with the Ultimate Power – maybe there's a better way to defeat them than dying."

"Wait a minute, you want me to ask an 8 year old to go rooting through the memories of his war torn future self to see if he ever came across them in the future? What happened to let him live a normal life?"

"Phoebe, none of us are normal and Chris now has the memories of two timelines in his head – I think the normal life train has left the station permanently. Go find out! He's probably tried to find out already anyway, just ask him if anything came up. Unless you'd rather join Piper in shouting at the ceiling."

"I think I'll go talk to Chris, one of us going insane is quite enough thank you."

"Good, now get moving missy, I have potions to make." Paige flapped her hands at her sister as she shooed her out of the kitchen and towards the conservatory where Chris was watching TV.

Phoebe shot her sister a look before heading off to talk to her nephew, Paige merely smiled innocently at her older sister's retreating back.

"Love you too!"

Phoebe turned round and stuck her tongue out at the half whitelighter.

"Real mature Pheebs, now get going because I for one am going to get fired if I take much more time off work."

.................................................

8 smouldering piles of ash later and a blood and goo splattered Jack Turner finally made his way out of the Underworld and back towards the Manor. Well, that was the Ultimate Power half done, now there was just Christy and getting home to deal with. Oh that should be fun; the chances of the sisters actually having the spell he needed to get back? Slim to none.

.................................

"Leo, if you don't get your ass down here within 5 minutes I am summoning it; Elders and their rules be damned! Leo!"

"What? We're kinda busy up there Piper, someone killed Billie."

"Our Billie?"

"No, the other one; the thing is we have no idea who did it and Christy has vanished."

"So, we go kill Christy problem solved, then Mr dimension hopper can go back to his own home and everything's fine and dandy."

"Not that simple Piper, killing Billie messed with the balance – not like last time but still, Christy needs to be back in her own dimension before she can be killed."

"So we send her and Jack through a portal and let him deal with her."

"Piper." Leo groaned.

"What? It would work, and I'm fairly certain he's capable of killing her by himself anyway, as far as I remember Christy only had the firepower, Billie was the main threat. There we go, problem solved – now we just get the two of them here send them through and everything goes back to normal."

"It won't work Piper."

"It doesn't."

"Chris? What are you doing here this time?"

"I'm not here exactly, I'm just projecting – your plan won't work, it's gonna take the power of three to kill her...otherwise you end up a son short." Chris' projected image shifted around looking at the floor, "Let's just say it's not pretty."

For the first time Piper noted the large scar above Chris' right eye and if she was right there were a lot more than that hidden under the 23 year old's long sleeved shirt and jeans.

"Yeah, as I said not pretty. You guys need to be there to kill her – she just comes back otherwise, Jack died trying to; there's another Resistance in my time now, one against Christy rather than Wyatt. I gotta go; she tracks magic, you and Aunt Paige are standing guard but if she feels like it you guys are gonna be dead in an instant. Love you Mom."

"Bye Chris." Piper said as the young man's body faded out of view. "Right then, new plan – we all go to Christy's dimension, kill her then come home."

"Does that one work?" Leo yelled.

A disembodied voice came back, "Don't know it's never been tried. Sorry Dad, can't help you."

"Right then, Paige can go grab Jack, we'll go to the Underworld and sense Christy then we'll all go through to this other dimension kill her then come home. Sorted."

"Piper..."

"Not now Leo, Paige, Phoebe! We have a plan, get up here now!"

Figured I'd give the actually vanquishing of Christy to a separate chapter...so two more tops
