Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed, but the WB does.

AN: A review would be nice! Bad or good, I don't mind. All I want to know is how you feel about the story!

AN: Just so you all know this is set during 2003/2004, when Season 6 aired. And just so you know, here's how the arcs work:

Arc 1: Chapter 1 (No Man's Land) to Chapter 19 (Memories).

Arc 2: Chapter 20 (Agent) to Chapter 26 (Force), with more to come. Chapter 15 (Anew) and Chapter 18 (Reborn) are both lead-ins to this Arc so if you haven't read them, then check them out.

AN: Okay, so I was checking out some of the reviews, and I felt I needed to answer some questions that were asked a long time ago: Cole and Phoebe are together, but they're just "boyfriend and girlfriend", nothing else. Cole is still living in the Penthouse, and spends a good part of his day there with Payton and Leo (hint hint What I just said plays a major part in a story-line of Paige's that comes into play down the line). And I noticed that I never really explained it in the story: Tyler lived with Cole in the penthouse for close to a month, but he now lives at the manor in his own room down in the basement. I actually have a pretty entertaining chapter that is Tyler-centric coming up, so watch out for it.

Chapter 27: Reverse

Kappa hunched over in pain, as an energy ball fizzled out in her hand. It felt as if a thousand daggers were being forced into her, skewering her like a wild boar. Dropping her guard, she was unable to defend herself as Piper attempted to blow her up. The attack sent her flying into the wall, where she landed with a thud at the base. Getting on her knee, she shot the witch a glare. "What's happening to me?" The Blonde haired Avatar stammered, her breath ragged and long.

The witch smirked, preparing herself for another round of attacks. "Your leader's dead. You're weaker now," said Piper, walking closer to the Avatar. Oh, how the mighty have fallen, she thought to herself.

"I'll kill you!" Kappa screamed, rising to her feet slowly. "I should have killed you before, but I was having fun. Now you die!" She scowled, her rage and pain clouding her mind.

"I don't think so." Piper replied, blowing the Avatar back into the wall. This time the witch didn't stop the attack, but she continued it relentlessly. After a few more times of Piper trying to blow Kappa up, the Avatar grunted, and teleported out in a shadow. Piper smiled at the place Kappa just was. "Told you."

"Avatar!" Paige screamed, sending Beta into the wall with a flurry of blue orbs.

The black haired woman scowled, feeling weak for the first time in her life. "I don't know what you witches did, but you'll pay for it!" She charged up an energy ball, and threw it at Paige.

The witch laughed, and sent it straight back to Beta. With another flick of her hand, the Avatar was sent flying across the floor. "You give up yet?" Paige said to the battered woman.

"Never!" The Avatar sneered, before throwing some lightning at her enemy. Paige orbed out of the lightning's path, and orbed the throne that Beta had previously been sitting on at her. With a crash, the heavy chair landed on the black haired woman, pinning her to the floor. "I'll return, and when I do you'll pay!" Beta screamed in fury before shadowing out.

The middle Halliwell sister was barely staying alive. Sigma felt the energy drain for barely a second, and when he resumed his attack the fury was evident. His lightning came faster and harder. The pleasure he felt from the hunt before was gone, and in its place was cold fury. He was angry that one of his kind had died, and the demon inside him was begging to be let out. Sigma was ancient; the first Avatar that Alpha and Omega recruited to the collective. And as such, the blond-haired man thought of himself as a true Avatar. The others were just a means to an end, but Sigma was one of their kind. He was needed, while the others were expendable. "Come out, come out wherever you are!" Sigma laughed, throwing lightning all over the place.

Idiot doesn't even realize he's wasting energy, Phoebe thought from behind a pillar. Even so, I'm still dead if he finds me. Cole, Piper, someone help me! She uncharacteristically screamed in her mind, giving into her fear for the first time since becoming a witch.

Tempus and Leo were engaged in a battle of lightning, their energy colliding and forming one long beam of intense blue electricity. Each being wasn't letting up an inch, each trying to outdo the other. That's when Tempus felt it: a tremor in his power. It was as if someone destroyed a comrade of his. The collective, the reserve, was weakened and powers were gone. And whatever powers were left were acting like a storm; rising to extreme highs and falling right back down, they were in a perpetual state of change. "You won't win this." Tempus panted, trying to fend off Leo's lightning from overpowering his own.

Leo scowled. "You've already lost." The Elder pushed even more energy into his attack. As Leo's beam closed in on the Avatar of Vigor, Tempus' eyes became wide. Releasing his attack in defeat, the demon was lifted high into the air by Leo's lightning. He screamed in agony as the electricity washed over him, blue bolts rushed around him as his body began to turn to ash. With one last scream, Tempus was vanquished with a burst of fire.

Gideon smiled as the Avatar of Power began to convulse on the ground. Walking towards the man, he watched as intense light radiated off of Omega. Gideon became visible a few feet away from Omega, looking down at the Avatar in contempt. "This…can't…be…happening!" Omega yelled in agony. "Alpha, how?"

"A potion, I believe." Gideon said, making his presence known.

Looking up into the eyes of the intruder, Omega sneered. "If you're here to kill me, you're wasting your time."

Gideon cocked an eyebrow. "Why is that?"

"I am a true Avatar." Omega spat. "Omega, the Avatar of Power. Nothing, but that potion can kill me. I will be back, and when I do, the Elders will be the first to die." The Avatar growled at Gideon, holding his chest in pain.

Gideon nodded as Omega shadowed out. "And when you return, another vial of potion will be ready." He replied, knowing the Avatar had heard it.

Gamma's glass of scotch dropped to the floor with a crash as he doubled over in pain, beginning to convulse. "What's wrong?" He stuttered, the pain being almost unbearable.

Cole laughed, and turned back into his own appearance, allowing the Avatar to see who he really was. "I believe your beloved Alpha is dead." He said, simply.

The Avatar of Drive's eyes went wide as he looked up to the intruder. "You!" Gamma scowled on bended knee. It took a lot out of him just to get on bended knee; he knew fighting someone was almost out of the question.

"Yes," Cole smirked. "Me."

"I'll get you." Gamma screamed, throwing lightning from his position.

Cole, using Payton's powers to the max, flamed out and appeared behind the Avatar. Putting his arm up, the ex-demon released an intense beam of blue energy. The Avatar was pushed to the ground, and began to light on fire. Using his other hand as well, Cole put more energy into his attack. With one last scream of agony, Gamma the Avatar of Drive was destroyed with a shower of ashes. "Phoebe." Cole whispered, flaming to his love.

"You're going to die sooner or later. There's no escape from me." Sigma yelled, throwing lightning and energy balls all over the place.

"I doubt that." A voice from behind the Avatar of Potency said in a menacing tone. Turning to the new intruder, Sigma was met with a fist to his face. Following up with a fireball, the attacker sent the Avatar to the floor. Using telekinesis, the attacker threw the Avatar in to the throne on the other side of the room. "Phoebe?" Cole yelled out, hoping she was nearby.

Sure enough, the witch inched out from behind the pillar. Seeing Cole, Phoebe smiled and ran to his side. "This guy's a maniac!" She said, remembering all the foolish and crazy things Sigma had done since she arrived in his throne room.

Cole nodded, and looked over to the Avatar. "Stay behind me."

The Avatar got to his feet, and wiped the dirt from his clothes. "You'll pay for that!" Sigma screamed in fury. "When I'm done with you, you and your witch will be wishing you were in the Wasteland!"

"I very much doubt that." Cole replied narrowing his eyes. An energy ball from Sigma started the fight. Cole dodged to the side, and threw a fireball. Using the fireball as a distraction, the ex-demon flamed with Phoebe to the Avatar's side. Throwing fire at the blond haired man, Cole hoped to end it fast. That, however, wasn't meant to be, for Sigma threw lightning to meet the fire in the air. The power struggle lasted a few seconds, but Cole began to over power the Avatar. Phoebe watched as Cole taped into more of Payton's power. Lifting his left hand to the same level as his right, the former Source of All Evil threw another array of flames.

Sigma began to run out of energy as the collective was greatly diminished. Three of his comrades were dead, and by the look of things he was right behind them. Screaming in fury as he was enveloped in a ball of flames, the man who was terrorizing Phoebe just minutes before, had a look of fear in his eyes. Burning to death, the Avatar sneered, "I'll be back!"

"From the dead?" Cole grinned. "I doubt it." He said, after Sigma was vanquished. Cole turned around to face Phoebe. A smile plastered on his face. "Well, that was interesting."

Phoebe moved into give him a kiss, but stopped as his eyes flamed over and then turned black. "This is nasty." Cole said, putting his hands up to stop Phoebe. "Can you at least wait till I leave his body, mom?"

Laughing, Phoebe nodded at her son's antic. Before Phoebe knew it, she and Cole were standing in the living room of the manor. "What the heck?" She questioned, confused by what just happened.

"What happened?" Piper asked, appearing in the living room as well. Soon enough, the whole group who went to attack the Avatars was in the living room; everyone except Kyle, that is. "How'd we get here?"

"They reversed time, and sent you home." Selia answered, walking into the room with Wyatt in her arms. "Because you were protected by the magic of their Castles, you weren't affected by the spell."

"Where is Kyle?" Paige inquired, scanning the room. The youngest Halliwell sister looked at all the faces in the room. Seeing the Oracle's face, she knew the worst had happened. "But that's just not possible." She whispered, tears coming to her eyes. "When time reversed he should have…" She stopped as realization hit her. "But he died in the Avatar's castle." The witch let the tears come down freely. He was supposed to be my husband. We were supposed to have a child, a family, a life together. She felt her sisters leading her to a couch, and their comforting hands rubbing her back. In her grief, however, she forgot one important fact: Kyle was a whitelighter in the future she saw.

Seeing Paige in the state she was in, Leo couldn't help but feel sorry. As he was about to open his mouth to say how sorry he was, an idea hit him. "We should go brief the other Elders on what happened, Gideon." The other Elder nodded and orbed up there in a flurry of purple lights. "I'll be back." Leo mouthed to his wife. Leo kissed his son on the forehead, before he too, orbed up there.

AN: Thanks for the reviews, Lord Kray.
