Chapter 37 - Thanks You all for sticking with the story, my lazy self will end it, 2 or 3 chapters left!

The cave looked demolished, the rocks and boulders were starting to fall all over, shaking the cave making it roar. None of the demons were concentrating on what was going on around them; they just were in a battle.

Alistair was holding up his own for it to be a five on one battle. He is a very powerful being, and every time the brotherhood got the upper hand, it angered him, his anger enforced more power. It was very dark in the cave, which works best for Alistair capable to seeing in the dark well.

Gorthon, the all black demon with green eyes was thrown by Alistair into the cave wall but before he could slam into it he shimmer right back in Alistair's face releasing fire from his hands burning him.

Ace grabbed a hold of Alistair from behind as his big hands and strong arms locked in place so he couldn't get out, squeezing to cause pain as Gorthon continued his Pyrokenisis. Alistair howling loudly again to attack the ears of the demon and all though that piercing scream was making Ace ears sting, he kept his hold on Alistair. Gorthon stopped, grabbing his ears and thrashing about trying to stop him from screaming.

Thorn picked Belthazor off the floor where he fell on top of some big stones when Alistair dropped him from his hold. The black demon put Belthazor down in a more comfortable spot while he was knocked unconscious. He looked down at his brother, they may have had a lot of disagreements and fights in the past but they would always have their back for one another. Becoming livid and wanting to destroy the thing that hurt his brother he returned to the battle.

Vex is thriving off this sudden energy he felt, always up for a fight and not having one for far too long he enjoyed himself. The screaming of Alistair had a huge effect on Vex though; he became dizzy and started hearing things, whispers and callings from others that weren't there. But he still was okay enough to move a big boulder and hit it on Alistair head, effectively shutting him up.

When Thorn went crazy with the energy balls hurled into Alistair body, he shook with such force that the demons was sure that he would explode. The crash of something big turned their attentions to the back wall of the cave, where they saw white lights appearing all over surrounding it, it was too bright to see the people in the orb.

Vex turning to see what his brothers were staring at, standing their when he turned was the charmed ones and their white lighter. Ace was the first to recognize Phoebe but all he muttered was "oh shit."

The charmed ones looked around at the demons and right out the orbing they began their attacks on them. Phoebe levitates and kicking Vex off his feet, Prue sending Thorn and Gorthon hurling into the cave wall and Piper freezing them before they could shimmer. "Where is Cole?" Phoebe spoke out angrily in her fighting stance as her sisters stood near her facing Ace who still held the deathly grip on Alistair.

"We are not your enemy, we are friends of Cole" Ace spoke directly to Phoebe, knowing she would understand.

"Friends of Cole?" Prue asked turning to Phoebe.

With all the attention not focused on Alistair, he played mind games with Leo, telling him he was a human and needed help from these demons. Leo walked to Alistair looking at him while telling Ace to let him go, Phoebe screaming No!

Phoebe's scream woke Belthazor up like he was getting burned; he shimmered in front of her.

Piper and Prue ready to kick his ass until they saw their sister throwing her arms around the red demon. Piper mouthed a WTF to Prue when they heard her say Cole.

Prue looked at Leo and noticed something is wrong with him, and she pulled Piper along to see. They noticed that Alistair was confusing Leo. Piper pulled her husband's face down to look in her eyes as she told him that Alistair is a demon and is playing tricks with your head. She kissed him, and when she looked back into his eyes she could see that her husband was back in control.

"He's too powerful, but what is he?" Prue said out loud looking down at him.

"Can you unfreeze them" Ace said ignoring her question.

"It's ok they won't hurt us, they were protecting Cole" Phoebe said confusing her sister's even more.

Piper unfreezes the two demons as they shimmered next to them.

Thorn the least bit happy as he growled at Prue and Piper, until he saw Phoebe, completely shock flashed across his face. He knew she was a witch but a charmed one escaped his mind. "Phoebe" he whispered, she heard him and looked his way.

Alistair struggling more to get out of Ace grasps and teleport away, he was afraid now, there was too many powerful beings around, he felt inadequate. Ace growled tired of the change in events and wanting this to be over, his arms were tired.

The charmed sisters turned to him, knowing what they had to do. Alistair hearing the first of spells screamed No, fiercely into the cave, while the other demons stood back and watched.

"Evil eyes look unto thee,

May they soon extinguished be.

Bend my will to the power of three,

Eye of Earth, evil and accursed.

The power of three will set us free."

He howled his last scream, and disappeared into thin air as his evil soul was killed away by the charmed ones.

When they stopped staring at the spot where he vanished, Belthazor told his brothers that it was over now and to turn to their human form. Belthazor was the first to change into Cole, Cole was hurt and bruised but Phoebe was by his side in a heartbeat to keep him standing. Ace stared at Prue and Piper while his human form appeared revealing Blake, Phoebe whispering and "O my God" when she saw him.

Gorthon and Vex was the next as their human form, Quinn and Felix looked tired and sore.

"And he" Prue pointed when Thorn still didn't change.

"Thorn, they won't hurt us" Cole told him.

Andy appeared, facing his fears with the charmed ones were hard for Thorn because the sisters vanquished many of his friends. "Andy" Phoebe said as she went to him, almost laughing.

He glared down at her, "You don't talk, you're a charmed one" he said obviously.

"I guess it was a good thing I went to you then" Phoebe said.

Andy nodded.

"Somebody better explain before I break a record for vanquishing a whole lot of demons in one night" Prue said seriously.

"Phoebe?"

Turning to her sisters, Phoebe was at a loss of what to say. "What's left to say? Cole and his friends are half human, half demon. They have lived like this, and have chosen their human side; they go to my college and protect it from things like Alistair and demons."

"We are not a threat; we just want to live our lives like you." Cole said.

"If we can't do harm to these people nobody should" Andy told the sisters.

Prue, Piper and Leo stood staring at the group, listened to every word, and finally realized not all demons are what you expect. Phoebe hugged her family and thanked them for understanding and for helping. Cole also thanked them which they accepted.

They orbed leaving Phoebe with Cole, waving goodbye as the tiny white lights faded into the dark.

"Let's get out of here" Blake said to them all as he looked around their cave.

Cole nodded looking around at his brothers, how they were prepared and ready to go up against anything, and even with the help of the charmed ones, he looked down at Phoebe, he said thank you out loud to all.

"Yes, let's go home" Cole said shimmering holding tight to Phoebe as he leaned down for a kiss.
