Chapter 50 - Now the Story is Played Out like This!

[A/N: HEY GUYS, Just want to let you know, I just started a new CHARMED CROSSOVER SUPERNATURAL Story called 'Charmingly Supernatural' So Hopefully you'll follow me there as well. Let me know what you guys think! Check it out! You wont be disappointed and CHRIS is in that Fic, as many believed he's not, he's there, he'll make an appearance soon. ^^) ]

Previously On Shock or Surprise:

"Shane!" Helen said just as Piper who saw the new arrival flicked her wrist towards the blonde woman.

"Watch Ou…!" Matthew started but didn't get to finish, as right before everyone's eyes, Helen exploded under Piper's powers, leaving nothing behind except her scream in the air and a wisp of smoke.

"NO!" Sky shouted waving his hand as he threw all three Charmed ones off their feet. Wyatt, who saw his mother getting knocked out, formed a fireball and threw it at Sky - the kid like his mother didn't get time to react as he turned his attention towards the twice blessed only for the ball to collide squarely into his chest. At once Flames enveloped him in a fiery cocooned around him as the flames melted the flesh off his bones right before he exploded into flames leaving nothing but pile of ash and scorch mark on the spot where he stood.

"NO!" Matthew shouted looking thunder shock.

############

"HOW DARE YOU!" Shane yelled throwing his hand out towards Wyatt, sending the twice blessed spiraling backwards as he collided harshly against the closed door of the attic before collapsing to the floor. Shane immediately summoned a darklighter crossbow and fired two arrows at Chris simultaneously while the witch's attention was on Wyatt. The arrows pierced Chris on both his arms dispensing their poisons immediately at their target - while earning a painful grunt from the witch.

"Now!" Shane shouted looking towards Matthew, who scrambled to get the piece of paper out of his back pocket.

"CHRIS!" Wyatt shouted in fury at the sight of Chris whimpering in pain. Wyatt pulled himself up while creating an very high voltage energy ball and with a hiss, he flunked it at his target, only Shane was prepared for it - with a nod, the energy ball was re-directed towards the Charmed ones - which exploded right next to Paige sending shards of woods flying in all direction, while Paige was knocked out by the force.

Wyatt created energy balls, one after another and began throwing at Shane, while advancing on the bartender. Matthew saw his grandmother was also on her feet, her hand ready to attack Shane from the back.

"NO! Crystals circle." Matthew shouted just as crystals appeared around the Charmed ones in swirl of orbs, stopping Piper in middle of her actions - confusion and fury directed at Matthew.

"YOU!" Wyatt hissed snapping Matthew's attention back to his father to find that he had advanced on Shane - who was trapped in the clutch of Wyatt as the twice blessed squeezed the life out of the guy by his throat. Matthew waved his hand TK throwing Wyatt away from Shane while the bartender fell to the floor gasping for breath.

"Say the s-spell." Shane croaked getting up to throw his share of energy balls at Wyatt. Chris raised his to help only the arrow's poison have affected his nerves - so even the light movement of his hand seem to send the room spiraling before him in haze.

Matthew on the other hand didn't need to be told twice, so he began reciting the spell.

"Demon of darkness, with soul so black,

In goodness you're cloaked but heart you lack,

"No!" Chris muttered with a shake of his head when he heard the spell. Shane was so busy trying to deflect Wyatt's attack on him, that he didn't saw Chris' lighting bolt till the last minute - which went for Matthew, without another thought Shane threw his hand out sending the boy out of the incoming threat - only Wyatt gained advantage as he flunked an fireball at the bartender, sending him spiraling into the air, where the moment he landed - flames engulfed his body.

"Finish the spell…" Shane's voice echoed as he exploded within the flames.

The bond you forged with this being of light,

I shatter them to reveal what is right!

No sooner Matthew finished his spell, a ray of gold light shot down from the ceiling engulfing Chris in a tunnel of shimmering light. A long tentacle of blue light shot out of Wyatt's ring and a long tentacle of dark red mass shot out of Chris' ring - both connecting at midpoint in mid-air above everyone.

The Charmed ones, Matthew, Wyatt and Chris watched in stunned surprise as the dark tentacle cracked like a volcano rocks and matter of seconds it crumpled away from the tentacle of light into pile ash. Just when the Charmed ones thought it was over, the crumbled ash pile were swept up in air and surrounded Chris in a whirling tornado cocoon before disappearing into the air with the tunnel of shimmering lights.

"Chris? What the…" Wyatt said taken back as the Charmed ones mirrored the same expression.

"What the…." The Witch hissed glancing down at his true form, while Matthew felt his jaw drop open at the sight of this new guy before him. "How? It's not possible." He grunted in Pain clearly the dark lighter poison is working through his system.

"What the…." Wyatt said confused as he looked at the man before him whom he believed to be his lover. However their attention was drawn to the blue tentacle that still hung in the air - swaying lightly as if it was being fluttered by an invisible breeze - which all of a sudden shot upwards and disappeared into the ceiling. For a second Matthew didn't know what was happening, but then he saw his father inhale deeply and the charmed ones saw the blue tentacle pulse with life right before fading into the air.

Wyatt's appearance changed from dark to light while the Book glowed catching everyone's attention as two strips of lights shot down through the ceiling to cover the book - the blue and gold strips swirled the book in its feathery touches - healing the book back as the Triquetra merged back into one thus changing the charmed ones while a gold glow swept through outwards from the book covering the San Francisco in its healing process to restore the timeline.

The Charmed ones attention was then swept towards the man who had been masquerading as Chris for the past week. Piper momentarily caught her son's eyes only to feel his pain when she witnessed the betrayal and anger that reflected in his blue eyes. She only hoped that this wouldn't push her son off the ledge - Phoebe on the other couldn't believe that they had been tricked by a demon into thinking that he was Chris, which made her doubt that somehow she let everyone down because she should've able to sense it, she should've picked something up…but then again the demon or whatever he was - well had been very clever, it seem to know everything about Chris…although the charmed ones would've feared for Chris - they knew after the restoration of the book meant Chris is alive and well…

Matthew, meanwhile saw the dark murderous glint on his father's eyes that seem to be directed at the man before them - which made the young witch wonder if he actually saved his father from the darkness or not - however his attention was turned towards the man who screamed in agony as Wyatt caused flames to lick every bit of skin, slowly melting him from flesh to bone - it was like watching horror movie in a slow motion - the blood oozed, the eyes popped out of their socket, the skin bubbled as his whole body melted to somewhat resemble a out of date disgusting tomato puree - that Matthew had to turn away from horrific vanquish he ever saw in his life which he feared may haunt his dreams for rest of his life, if he was to witness it fully.

Even the Charmed ones turned away from the Vanquish while Wyatt soaked up on it fully - watching the man that lied and played with him melt away in a excruciating death, however even after he turned into viscous bloody pool Wyatt remained motionless while his glazed eyes focused on the puddle before him.

"Wyatt…?" Piper called out, her voice was barely loud yet it snapped the twice blessed out of his trance. With a painful glance towards his mother, Wyatt crashed to his knees, sobbing his heart out, while Piper looked unable to do anything - not in terms of being trapped behind a crystal cage, but in more like she doesn't know how to soothe his pain away, she knew the one person who could do that have never returned in the first place. When he left, he was gone for good.

The Rings of Light

Powerful rings forged by the archangel Michael, guarded by the kings of heavenly kingdom. These rings prophesied for the most powerful beings on universe that will unify in Love. Only one is known in existence created before dawn of light and these rings bore pieces of the angelic grace, unifying each together as body and soul. These rings are encrypted with the phoenix to symbolize the circle of life and never ending love.

See Rings of Darkness for the evil counterparts.

Matthew flipped through the pages of the infamous Book of Shadows. It had been a week since all hell broke loose, although the next day Faith returned and they all left back home, as if nothing had happened - It seemed like those who were in the attic at the time of the book restoration were fully aware of what happened while everyone else, have no idea – even the elders who have been vanquished under sister's hand have miraculously returned from death – Matthew, on the other hand couldn't forget the image of his father being so intimate with his brother so easily and what bothered him the most was the fact that the rest of the family didn't seem too bothered about it…not forgetting the crazy thing with the rings right before the witch or demon whatever was got vanquished. So that's why he decided to orb himself back to the Manor to check on the book - to find some answers in regards to the rings - but it seems like the book seem to know what he wanted, since it opened itself to the page right away before he can even touch it.

Matthew stopped in another page that looked similar to the Rings of Light - Two phoenix rings, weaved together in cord of light - except this page, its darker.

Rings of Darkness

Powerful rings of darkness forged by the fallen angel Lucifer and guarded by his minions. Created solely for the destruction of Rings of Light. These rings are said to be linked with the rings of light, where wearer of darkness can manipulate and control their partners of light. If they were to succeed in turning their partners of light down the pathway of evil, then their light counterpart will follow in suit as the rings bore both their souls.

"Matthew?" A voice said as the blonde witch looked up to find his grandfather walk in, looking quite concerned. "What's wrong? Is everything alright? Is Peyton alright?" Leo asked at the sight of Matthew flipping through the book.

"Yes grandpa, everything's fine. She's alright!" Matthew said as Leo studied his grandchild. "Grandpa….can I ask you something?" Leo nodded but Matthew knew what he was about to ask could be a sensitive subject especially if he was wrong, then the whole thing could go down the drain. "Can you promise me that you'll tell me the truth?"

"What is this about son?" Leo asked approaching Matthew, who exhaled deeply before flipping back to the pages of 'Rings of Lights' to show to his grandfather.

"Dad has this ring, doesn't he?" Matthew asked as Leo looked at the boy before him – for few seconds Leo said nothing but eventually he slowly nodded. "But…Faith is not his partner is she?" Matthew asked as Leo looked little lost of what to say to the boy before him, because he knew the moment he walked out of that magic school with Henry that day, something happened.

It seemed like the Magic school itself saw the threat on the outside world and locked Leo away to safe guard him - what's surprising was that it also brought in Henry, the two mortals in the family - Leo still has his doubts in regards to how the Magic school can trap him and Henry, even after the countless spells he asked his students to perform on it to open the doorway, it still wouldn't let the two mortals out of the School - But when it did, they found the sisters crying over a their bodies, well Paige crying over Henry and Piper crying over shattered ice cubes…only it faded away the moment the sisters saw them - realizing everything had been an illusion. Coop on the other hand was hurt, only he was healed few hours after the removal of the Athame.

"Matthew, there are things you're not old enough to understand." Leo replied back.

"I'm sixteen grandpa, and I've been through worse than any normal kid can go through, so please tell me….I know this has something to do with Uncle Chris." Matthew said as he saw the grave look on his grandpa's face. "Is he…is he dead?" Matthew asked as he saw Leo flinching at the word.

"No…but to him, we are…" Leo said with a far away look.

(A/N: Highly Recommended song to listen while reading.)

Enter Song: Far Away by Nickelback

Full Moon lit the clear, star filled Night sky of the New York City, where from a bird eye point of view, it looked silent and beautiful.

Somewhere in the city, at one of a tallest building, Wyatt Matthew Halliwell stood in his glass encased office, arms folded in his chest as he watched the night city go by below him.

Wyatt blinked away the tears as he exhaled deeply. His heart was filled with so much pain that he didn't know how he felt anymore. He thought he had his Chris back, but no…it was some sick manipulating demon that took form of his cherub. Although this demons planned this from the very beginning, the little voice in Wyatt's head kept nagging him - burning him with the saying 'If you really loved him, you would've been able to tell the difference, but looks like the guardians were right. Your love is a lie!' Much as he knows that's not true, he couldn't bring himself not to believe those words. Deep down he knew he has failed Chris somehow.

Wyatt can't even begin to imagine what Chris would say if he had been there with him right now. He missed Chris so much, god! he missed his little kid so much, Wyatt knew he could never get back with Chris, not after everything that's happened - but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel, if only…if only he could get one last chance to see Chris and Victor, to know that they are both safe & sound, then Wyatt could spend rest of his life in peace. Not knowing what has happened to them killed him very slowly.

He tried to sense Chris through the wedding band, but he found it impossible. After all it's well known fact that Chris was a great hider when it comes to hide and seek - that's only within Manor, but now he has the whole world at the disposal, he could be anywhere.

The past incident not only made his miserable but he could also no longer bring himself to look at Faith in the eye anymore - mainly because it hurts him, she reminded him of what he has lost, but at the same time he doesn't know if he is willing to loose her too, because right now if someone was to ask him, who would he choose - faith or Chris - he would struggle, he would really struggle because its not what he has forgotten but its also what he remembers - the time spend with faith, their love, their child, it just made it so hard for Wyatt to get over it. Being evil just clouded everything but even then his inner voice screamed at everything he did against Faith.

All these events only made him realize something. Chris is never going to return to him. He has lost the one thing he has fought for over the years and now the best he can do is, try not to loose what he has got….because Faith sticking by his side showed him how much she truly loved him and most of all….he loves her too.

Wyatt was too drowned in his thoughts to hear the office door open behind him. He found himself slightly jumping startled when a voice yelled out.

"Daddyyy!" Peyton shouted as she ran into the office. Wyatt snapped out of his thoughts as he blinked away the tears, before turning around with a smile to pluck his daughter from the ground to swing her around.

"She missed you." Faith said with a smile as Peyton kissed Wyatt on his cheeks. "Do you finish late?"

"No, I'm finished. Let's go!" Wyatt said walking out of the office with his family, turning off the lights on his way out.

##########

On the other hand, A Pair of eyes watched Wyatt Halliwell laugh with his daughter. The light and the clear office walls enabled him to watch without being spotted. After all if he wants to be found, all Wyatt has to do is look up at the roof of the opposite building, where the figure stood watching the Halliwells with a smirk.

But even then he can't be recognized because, he stood slightly against the Large moon, which shadowed his feature and the night breeze made his long black cloak flutter against the moonlight - it anyone was to look at it, they would be at awe because it seemed like a scene from an anime.

However the moon slowly moved to light his features - anyone taking a closer look at the man would recognize his dark blonde hair, his Adonis body, his mesmerizing eyes - but those who know him would simply recognize him as the bartender from P3, who left the job without a word.

Shane Olson simply smiled at Wyatt before raising his left hand to kiss the golden phoenix that's embedded on his wedding ring that's pulsated with life - light shimmered around him as his features changed into more recognizable one. Chris Halliwell exhaled deeply into the night.

"I'll always be there for you Wy, even if you don't know it." Chris thought out into the night, right before his entire body dissipated in gold glittering lights into the night air, Leaving no witness that he had ever been there, except the night's full Moon.
