Morning.
Elise knocked on the door and Phoebe said she could come in.
Elise: Hello Phoebe, these letters are apparently for your special babies section on your column tomorrow. How is your sister then?
Phoebe: Thanks Elise, she was restricted to bed yesterday now she's a couple of days away from the expected time she'll go into labour.
Elise: Aahh. How cute, do you think it will be a boy or a girl.
Phoebe: I think it's going to be a girl, for no apparent reason.
Phoebe then smiled to herself and thought that Elise wouldn't know that they'd been to the future and seen the baby as a ten year old girl.
Phoebe: Anyway, thanks Elise.
Elise left the room. As soon as she shut the door, Piper and Gabi orbed in.
Phoebe: How did you?
Piper: Paige did. Anyway Phoebe, Gabi's got a little bit of a power problem and we need your help. Could you come home.
Phoebe: I'm in the middle of writing tomorrows special advice column.
Gabi: Please Phoebe, it's kind of… ahh.
Gabi jumped as a man walked in he instantly froze.
Gabi: Sorry! I haven't got to grips with this freezing thing yet.
Phoebe: It's not a demon it's only Derek.
Piper unfroze him and he handed a card to Phoebe.
Phoebe: Aaahh. He's given Paige a card for her baby.
Gabi: Is she having it soon then?
Piper: It's expected in a couple of days, Phoebe come on we need to show you.
Phoebe: Fine.
Phoebe got up and walked over to Piper and Gabi she put her hand on Piper's shoulder and the three of them vanished in a blast of electricity.

Three elders and an avatar were standing there. The avatar had closed his eyes and after about a minute opened them.
Avatar: It is done. You do realise this change could become permanent!
Elder 1: We understand thank-you for doing this.
Avatar: Don't mention it.
The avatar vanished and the Elders grinned.
Elder 3: This should mess things up long for us to kill them and put a stop to this once and for all.

One o'clock.
Prue had just been dropped off by Jack from a lunch date. It had been quite enjoyable apart from the fact when he tried to kiss her she had accidentally gone invisible.
Prue: Thanks for a lovely time and everything.
Prue laughed as Jack blew her a kiss. Prue then shyly kissed her hand and blew. Without warning ice suddenly flew though the air and froze Jack in his tracks.
Prue: Oh, my god! Leo, LEO!
Leo came rushing down the stairs. Half dressed.
Leo: Prue I was just getting… Oh, dear.
Prue: Could you orb him inside the house.
Leo rushed out the doors and grabbed Jack's frozen hand. They both then orbed out. Prue rushed up to the attic just as Phoebe, Piper and Gabi electricated in.
Phoebe: Yay! I didn't fall this time.
Gabi: Woopee for you. Look what I can do now!
Gabi reluctantly jumped in the air, instead of falling back down she rose up and up and up until her head bumped the ceiling.
Gabi: OK, how do I get down?
Phoebe took pity on her and levitated up beside her and brought her down gently.
Piper: And the other power.
Gabi waved her hands, nothing happened.
Gabi: I can't do it anymore, it just happened when I got angry.
Phoebe: What power was it?
Piper: Apparently she shot acid out of her hands at some bullies at her school.
Phoebe: Kids! What, are they alright?
Gabi: There fine, just a bit burnt.
Phoebe: Well, this is not normal. No witches powers can progress that quickly, she can freeze, astro-project, levitate and now shoot acid from her hands.
Prue's voice suddenly sounded from upstairs. Phoebe, Piper and Gabi ran up to see what was happening. Prue and Leo were pacing round Jack's frozen body.
Piper: Prue! Oh, my god what happened?
Prue: I tried to blow him a kiss but I froze him!
Phoebe then banged her head against the wall.
Phoebe: There's too many god, damn power problems today!
Suddenly three Elders orbed in. Leo looked up.
Prue waved her hand, nothing happened.
Phoebe: Piper freeze them!
Piper waved her hands and the Elders and they slowed down.
Prue: I thought you could control you powers now?
Piper: I can, could?
Piper waved her hands three more times.
The Elders turned back normal then slowed down again.
Phoebe: Great, your stuck with your weakest power!
Phoebe then tried to fire electricity at and Elder. Instead a ball of fire shot out and hit him in the chest, he was sent flying into the shelves and fell. An Elder sent an electricity blast flying at Prue. She dropped to the floor and screamed when it stopped in mid-air. She turned round to Piper but she was busy slowing down an Elder, she then realised that it had been Gabi who had done it. Gabi had ran up to an Elder and kicked him in the shins. He fell to the floor in pain. He then turned round and orbed a heavy box onto Phoebe's head. Gabi flared up in anger and a wave of acid came flying out of Gabi's hands. The Elder yelled and blew up grains of sand scattered everywhere as Gabi covered her eyes and fell back, Gabi hit the wall and then, black.

Henry: Here you go honey.
Paige: Thank… AAAHHH!

But Paige had already orbed out.

Afternoon.
Phoebe had just been blown down the stairs and was knocked out. Gabi had also been flung backwards and knocked out. Prue kept trying to throw the Elders back telekinetically but it was not working. She then blew her breath at an Elder, ice came shooting towards him and he was frozen stiff. Piper had only managed to slow the Elders down. The last Elder threw an electricity ball at her and she slowed it down. She ran behind the Elder and grabbed a herb knife, she thrust it right threw his neck and he blew up. Paige then orbed in, she was wearing a pair of jeans and a sleeveless t-shirt.
Paige: What happened?
Piper: The Elders! You're suppose to be in bed!
Paige didn't reply but rushed over to Gabi and healed her. Prue got up from the floor and surveyed the room there was two frozen figures in the centre, Jack and an Elder. Phoebe then came stomping up the stairs to the attic.
Phoebe: I can't believe, I can't even electricate any more.
Prue: Something is not right about our powers all going haywire at once.
Piper: Paige, try using your powers.
Paige called for The Book of Shadows it orbed neatly into her outstretched hands.
Prue: Then I guess it's just our powers that have bee, bee…
Prue's head then fell limp, she collapsed onto the floor. Piper went over to her.
Piper: She's astro-projected somewhere.
Phoebe: She can't have meant to can she?
Paige: I'll try and sense her.
Gabi: Paige, can I go home now?
Paige: Sure honey, Gabi's house!
Gabi orbed out. Paige then closed her eyes she opened them again a couple of minutes later.
Paige: It's not working I can only sense her normal self here. I've never tried sensing an astral form before.
Phoebe: Are you OK sweetie?
Paige: Yeah, yeah.
Phoebe narrowed her eyes and used empathy. She felt that Paige was worried, scared and unprepared.
Phoebe: I know you're not Paige, I'm an empath remember!
Paige: It's just, I'm scared that this baby will be killed or something because of all the demons and god knows what else attacks us all the time.
Piper: Did you see your kid in the future Paige, she kicked ass, just like you do.
As Piper said this Phoebe pondered over to the Book of Shadows and started to flick through it.
Paige: What Phoebe?
Phoebe: Yes, I was right!
Piper: About what?
Phoebe: Remember, seven years ago I visited my past life.
Piper: Yeah.
Phoebe: Well, the powers we have now were the ones that our past lives had then!
Paige: Then how come I still have my normal powers.
Phoebe: We'll have to ask them!
With this Paige put her hand on Piper's shoulder and Phoebe electricated out, Piper and Paige also orbed out.

Prue was sitting on a bench an Elder stood right over her.
Prue: Why are you doing this, what have we done to you?
Elder: A group of us thought that our powers would be more use for evil. The upper level Elders thought not, so a fight broke out the evil supporters won the entire race every single Elder is now pure evil.
Prue: Then why bring my astral form here and not my true form.
Elder: With the help of the Avatars we were able to switch your powers with the one's of your past life's. We knew that once the change was complete you would not be able to astro-project so we used a unique power to bring you to us. If we kill your astral self, the real you dies!
Prue: Then why didn't you swap Paige's powers?
Elder: A minor blip, we had no idea what time Paige's past life was in so we could not switch, but no matter. Her power is weak the only useful thing she can do is orb!
Prue struggled against the ropes that were binding her.
Suddenly, the sisters orbed and electricated in. The Elder spun round.
Phoebe: Piper, now!
Piper slowed down the Elder while Paige called for Prue's ropes and threw them aside. Phoebe threw a fireball at The Elder and he obliterated into sand. Paige rushed over to Prue and they orbed out.

Late Afternoon.
The sisters orbed in.
Piper: Right, Prue we think we have a spell that will get our powers back.
Paige showed Prue the book and Prue grinned.
Prue: That's an old one!
Phoebe: Let's get on with this.
Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Paige: 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, we call upon the ancient power, bring you powers to we sisters three, give us the power, we want the power.

There was a flash of white light and then silence. Piper waved her hands at nothing in particular and some old toys blew up.
Piper: Oh, yeah!

Early Evening.
Piper looked at the other three, suddenly Paige suddenly screamed in pain and clutched her stomach.
Prue: She needs to go home.
Paige: I'll go now, bye!
Paige glowed with orbs and orbed out, the then she orbed back in again. She screamed so loud that Piper put her hands to her ears. Leo heard the noise and came running up the stairs.
Leo: What's happening?
Phoebe: Paige needs to get home now!
Phoebe then clutched Paige's arm and screwed up her eyes.
Leo: Wait! Phoebe your electricating is still a little clumsy. I should take her.
Leo walked over to Paige and orbed out.
Prue: Do you think she'll be alright?
Piper: Probably!
Suddenly a tall and a small figure orbed in. It was an Elder with his hand clasped round Wyatt's mouth.
Elder: Surrender or your child dies!
Piper: How dare you!
Piper waved her hands and The Elder orbed out. Some orbs blew away and The Elder and Wyatt reappeared. The Elder had his hand missing and he orbed out again. And it reappeared. Prue waved her hand and The Elder was sent flying into all the junk. Wyatt turned to the Elder and he turned into a pig. Phoebe started to laugh, Suddenly Paige orbed back in.
Paige: I'm not leaving you!
Phoebe: What? He's using his powers!
The "pig" orbed out and appeared behind Phoebe. He instantly returned to normal. He called for some shelves and threw then into Phoebe's chest. She was sent flying backwards and hit the floor. Prue instantly became invisible and The Elder clutched his throat. He was lifted
off his feet and Prue suddenly reappeared.
Paige: Leo! Leo!
Leo orbed in looking worried. He was instantly thrown backwards by The Elder. He crawled over to Wyatt and orbed out. Piper ran over to The Elder and tried to blow him up, he was sent smashing rearwards. He created a bolt of electricity and thrusted in the direction of Paige she screamed and orbed out and back in. She orbed in and stood there shocked the electricity bolt was millimetres away from her face. She stared at Piper who had her hands outstretched. The Elder had been frozen stiff and Paige called for some ropes and tied the Elder to a chair.
Phoebe ran over to the Book of Shadows and started flipping through it.
Phoebe: A Teleport blocking spell.
When someone wants to get away,
we will force to make them stay.
Stop them from going,
keep them here we want to see what they've got to hear.
Prue: What was that?
Phoebe: Billie, made up the spell. It's to stop someone from teleporting out of a room.
Piper: I forgot Billie did that.
Suddenly The Elder unfroze. He looked around.
Elder: Let me go!
The Elder screwed up his eyes and tried to orb out.
Phoebe: There's no point!
The Elder smiled the pupil of his eyes went smaller then larger again. Piper was sent stumbling backwards. She froze him and unfroze his head still keeping his eyes frozen in case of any other telekinesis attacks.
Piper: Right! Why are you doing this?
Elder: I already told Prue! Some Elders rebelled!
The Elder then unfroze and squinted his eyes. Phoebe fell backwards. Paige called for the Book of Shadows and shouted vanquish for an Elder! The Book glowed with orbs and went back to normal again. It was on a page with a spell to vanquish a good being.
Paige: I can't read this! It will turn me evil!
Phoebe created an electricity ball and threw it at the Elder he yelled and collapsed. Prue ran over to the book and found the same spell she re-worded it and read it out loud.
Prue: This Elder has rebelled, now he will be spelled, Vanquish this evil, even though he's primeval.
The Elder caught fire and blew up.
Paige: Right, I've got an idea of how to vanquish these Elders once and for all!
Paige called for a pen and a notebook. She sat down on the sofa, Phoebe sat down next to her. Prue and Piper started to mix some potions that could help defend themselves.
Phoebe: OK, this will probably acquire the power of four.
Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige: Our founder will help us, in our battle, Help us in our mess, Help us vanquish the Elders, so we can weld this problem, Bring forward Melinda Warren.
There was a flash of bright light and Melinda Warren stood there looking shocked. She stared at them.
Melinda: Prue! Piper! Phoebe! And…
Paige: Paige, I'm Paige the fourth Charmed one.
Melinda: Wow!
Suddenly three Elders orbed in. Melinda jumped and the Elders froze before they had become solid.
Melinda: What are these beings? And how do they do that?
Prue: It's called orbing. There the Elders and they use to help us and control all Whitelighters and Cupids.
Melinda: Whitelighters? Cupids?
Piper: Ahh, she doesn't know anything!
Phoebe: Anyway, we may need all the help we can get to vanquish them so… LOOK OUT!
The Elders suddenly unfroze and landed Prue waved her hands and sent all three of them flying back. Melinda stared at her in shock, Piper waved her hands and the Elders were sent flying backwards again. Phoebe created an electricity blast and thrusted her hands it hit two of the Elders and they blew up. Melinda then ran over to one of the Elders and telekinetically pushed the shelves on top of him.

Henry orbed in just as Leo was running up the stairs.
Henry: Leo! Is Paige here?
Leo: I think so.
The two men looked at each other and both orbed upstairs. Upstairs Melinda had tripped and fallen she fell onto the remaining Elder and was sucked into a premonition.
Premonition: Piper, Prue, and Phoebe were standing in Heaven. Prue and Phoebe closed their eyes and Piper waved her hands. Every Elder froze Piper took an athamae from her dress and sliced some flesh of a tall, muscular man wearing white robes. The Sisters then electricated out.
Melinda was then sucked out to see Piper blow the Elder up.
Paige: What did… AAAHH!
Paige clutched her stomach again. Leo and Henry orbed in.
Henry: Paige, sweetie you shouldn't be here!
Paige: Henry, home now!
Henry grabbed Paige's arm and orbed out.
Prue: Melinda, what did you see?
Melinda: I saw you and a room full of people like them, she gestured to where the Elders had stood, and Piper froze the whole room, she looked at Piper, She then sliced some flesh of a tall, muscly Elder and we glowed with something sparkly and vanished.
Leo: That must be Zoran.
Phoebe: Zoran?
Leo: He was the Chief Elder, he controlled all what went on. He also had the key to the Vault.
Piper: Vault? Leo will you speak English? What vault?
Leo: The Vault to the Power of all Elders. If he absorbed that than he would have every single Elders power in existence.
Prue: This would make him unstoppable.
Piper: Melinda, did you say you cut off some of his flesh?
Melinda: Yes, but I don…
Phoebe: I'll go write a spell Piper you get some crystals!
Prue: What are we doing?
Piper: We've done something like this before.
Piper set out the crystals in a circle while Phoebe got a notebook and pen. Prue then started flicking through the Book of Shadows.
