Before we get started, I have a message for a certain delusional person, who has tried to force his opinions and ideas onto this story. Usually I just ignore them, but my patience has reached its limits now.
While I do appreciate input and am open to suggestions and ideas, you are delusional, if you think that Buffyverse surpasses Charmed and Supernatural universes. While there may be beings from Buffyverse that could equal Charmed and Supernatural, you believing that the Buffyverse characters beating characters from the other two universes is laughable.
To be blunt, I cannot force you to read and like the story and you are entitled to have your own opinion but with all due respect, I think that Supernatural surpasses Buffyverse and Charmed in terms of power in general and I read the comic books as well and as I recall, after Season 8, Willow's magic after the Seed was restored, was still weakened, so she could, barely, if at all, equal the Power of Three and it's my story, so I'm not obliged to follow your suggestions, while I'm open to them, I know a biased person when I see one, so respectfully, don't force your own opinions on me. Also, my issue with Buffy, Angel and Twilight was more Buffy/Angel crap, asides from creating a new universe, so don't assume you know better than I do, since people like you infuriate me. You're entitled to have your own opinion but you don't get to force them on me.
You pulled that same stunt on Aragorn II Elessar and now you're pulling it on me, so don't bother justifying your opinions to me and besides, the only proof of your statements about Jasmine is Buffyverse wiki which is hardly a reliable proof at all, since it's not written by the people behind the franchise but fans who know about as much about the franchise as we do and there are beings in Charmed that could easily beat Jasmine, D'Hoffryn, Glory or other, the same in Supernatural, there are several beings that could easily trump them and Senior Partners. I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you, don't like it, move on, find something else you might like reading and get lost.
Also, D'Hoffryn may have rewritten an universe, but for a reminder, he used The Slayer Handbook (Vampyr) and rewrote the rules of magic to get more power than anyone, that allowed him to grow more powerful upon the death of anyone else from the Magic Council he had been a member of, that's hardly what you claim at all. Also, for a reminder, Jonathan didn't do the feats you claim alone, he used an augmentation spell that tethered him to a demon behind the spell, which hardly means that Jonathan was as powerful as you claim. Also, considering that Vampire Willow came to the real reality from the alternate one Cordelia had created by making a wish to Anya, who knows if what Jonathan did wasn't only making an alternate reality.
And for a reminder, Jasmine conquered a dimension full of insectoid demons as a rehearsal. Now, not that I'm a racist or something but the only reason Jasmine was able to subjugate humans on Earth thanks to her charm and beauty and hypnosis and it's likely that the same thing happened to the insectoid demons. Also, her powers seemed to be limited to one dimension and not extended to more, unlike Senior Partners and Fred said that Jasmine's hypnosis was biological and some drops of Jasmine's blood helped Fred snap out of it. Can you say the same about the beings in Charmed or Supernatural? Besides, the reality in Supernatural had been rewritten various times by beings as powerful, if not more or less, than Jasmine and every time Dean and Sam saw through and restored things to how they were supposed to be.
Glory's power is up to debate, but for a reminder again, Lucifer himself was able to slaughter numerous pagan gods with his bare hands and Chuck (God himself) created alternate universes in Supernatural, where were also archangels too, not any less powerful than in the original one. We never saw Glory in her full power, so what you are pulling out are just theories and speculations, nothing more, nothing less.
As for your other questions about magic, I'll answer them in time and I've made some changes to fit here, as I had to re-read the Buffyverse follow-up comics to refresh my memory, but I'm writing the story to give others good read, not to cater to your delusional ideas. If you have nothing better to do than to whine and complain and force your way in here, then you're just a pathetic childish idiot, so don't bother accusing me of being one and take a very hard look at yourself and get your facts straight, but I doubt you will, so I'm gonna make it simple and easy for you, don't like, don't read, move on and look for something you might like elsewhere. I am open to suggestions but you forcing them onto me and then spouting crap like this makes me wonder what is a delusional moron like you doing on the Internet. Do everyone a favor and stop wasting time.
To the others, sorry you had to read this rant.

Elsewhere
Piper came to, clutching her head.
"Well, Sleeping Beauty has finally awoken. Welcome back." Cole said.
"How long was I unconscious?" Piper asked.
"Not too long." Cole said as Piper got up to her feet, glaring at him.
"I knew I couldn't trust you." Piper sneered.
"Look, my intentions were pure and this wasn't supposed to happen. The crux of the problem is that you don't trust me. Not that I blame you, but the magic only works if you trust it and for that to happen, you're going to have to trust me." Cole pointed out.
"I will, once I'm sure the magic won't hurt me." Piper said and Cole laughed humorlessly.
"You see the conundrum of it, don't you?" Cole said.
"Yep and you better get comfortable, because we're gonna be here until Hell freezes over." Piper said and Cole shook his head. She had not changed one bit.
The Upper Regions
Leo was chained to one of the pillars supporting the Upper Regions as Neena put the orbs onto the golden scales on the pedestal.
"The Upper Regions and the Underworld, separate forces constantly in battle, like Heaven and Hell and today I shall break the barriers between those two and unite what was divided int one." Neena smirked.
"You can't!" Leo protested, trying to struggle out of the chains. "Good and Evil can't come together like this! They will destroy each other, what you do will devastate the Earth! Everything!"
"That's not my problem." Neena sneered, whirling on Leo.
"That's where you're wrong, you'll be destroyed along with everyone else." Leo said and Neena laughed.
"I knew you'd try this argument, former Elder. I won't be destroyed. The unification opens a portal to the Higher Realm, allowing me to reclaim my place with the All and be with my love again." Neena said confidently.
"Neena, this isn't you." Leo pleaded, trying to reach whatever sliver of goodness was inside of the first witch.
"No. It isn't me but it's what the God, the Powers That Be, the Elders, the Angels of Destiny, the forces of good turned me into, when they shaped the world around me. I'm done letting Fate dictate everything and mess with the destinies of my children." Neena said.
"That's how you justify killing innocent people? Whitelighters? Your descendants? Your own children? You were supposed to protect them!" Leo snarled.
"Oh. That. Well, I never killed anyone good. Only the evil… and the very annoying. The rest was my helpers." Neena said indifferently as the orbs floated inches above her hands. "Until now I played by the rules. Now I'm going to be the one making them. You should be honored, Leo. You're going to witness the birth of my new world order!"
Suddenly, lightning storm ravaged the Upper Regions.

"Prue?" Paige whispered.
Prue smiled as she held Paige by her cheek, her eyes getting wet. "I know this feels strange."
"But… you're gone." Paige said, not understanding. "For years we tried to summon you."
"But you couldn't find my spirit." Prue nodded. "That's because I decided not to return, not when you were drawn to Piper and Phoebe. I followed my own destiny. I was in the Upper Regions briefly, but then they decided I had another calling. And honestly… I didn't want to bring more trouble to anyone of you if I returned. I couldn't move on even if I wanted to. It's hard to move on, when something holds you back, so my soul found another body to reincarnate in."
"You could've come back anytime in six years…" Paige said, hurt. "Be there for Piper and Phoebe when they needed you. Help me… guide me…"
"I couldn't, Paige." Prue said as she sat down before pulling a chalk towards her, drawing the symbol of triquetra of the Charmed Ones on the table.
"You know the prophecy, Aunt Paige, in our family three sisters would be born that would become the most powerful witches the world has ever known. The magic of the Warren line at its strongest." Melinda said as Paige turned to her.
"Melinda… you're Piper's and Leo's… but… the future?" Paige realized and Melinda nodded. "Why are you here?"
"Because of Neena. You have no idea what she's done, Aunt Paige and we have to stop her." Melinda said.
"With the prophecy unfulfilled, I couldn't move on, not entirely. I was allowed to join Mom, Grams and my family and I was reunited with Andy but…" Prue took a breath as she touched her chest. "A part of me was still trapped between life and death because I was still tethered to the Power of Three. The prophecy was meant for me, Piper and Phoebe, not you. The power wasn't supposed to transfer to anyone." She gave Paige a significant look. "So I decided to stay in astral form and stay aside. As long as I was linked to the Warren line and the Power of Three, I would stop you from reaching your full potential, that's why I stayed aside in the quiet corner of astral plane. The prophecy of Melinda Warren didn't foresee Power of Four and you and I have similar powers. If I stayed, I'd only hold you all back and for all I know, the consequences could be cataclysmic."
Prue did a gesture as the triquetra turned into smoke of dust and Paige considered and nodded. While she didn't like that the eldest sister who they had all looked up to, had abandoned them all, she could understand why.
"But now you're helping us. Not that I don't appreciate it, but why?" Paige asked.
"Neena." Prue said and Paige immediately understood. "She's our ancestor. Ancestor of all natural-born witches. If we don't stop her, everything we know is gone."
Paige started to realize things were more serious than she had thought and suddenly she felt like if she was in the same situation with Chris years ago, when he had come from the future to make sure that Wyatt would not turn evil. "It must be serious if my dead sister and niece from the future are working together." She said.
"And not just us." Prue said as she and Paige went outside to see Buffy and Willow talking to a woman with dirty blonde hair in blue sweater and black pants.
"Who is she?" Paige asked.
"Someone dear to them that they had lost." Prue said.
"How is it that you're alive?" Willow asked, not understanding, hugging Tara tightly and wiping her tears.
"I know you tried to bring me back, but you couldn't." Tara said as she sighed, touching her shoulder where she had been shot by Warren as she pulled away. "Back then, when my family tried to take me, after that… my Dad put a curse on my soul to punish me. I was trapped in a void between life and death, not allowed to move on, unable to be seen or heard by anyone or touch anything. I could never go up or down to Hell. Sentenced to watch everyone I care about die one way or another."
Buffy's and Willow's blood boiled as they clenched their fists. They knew that the men in Maclay family were bastards but this was a whole new level.
"But Prue found me few weeks ago. Formed a new body with a spell, so that I could return and help you." Tara said as she smiled at them.
"So you know about Neena." Buffy said and Tara nodded.
"If we're going to stop her, it's all hands on deck." Tara said.
Halliwell Manor
The doorbell rang as Henry opened the door to Victor, who had entered.
"Hey, Victor." Henry said.
"Henry." Victor greeted before entering and noticing two strangers he had never seen before.
"Guys, this is Victor Bennett. The sisters' father. Victor, this is Dean and Sam Winchesters, they're helping with some…" Henry trailed off and Victor nodded.
"I see." Victor said.
"Nice to meet you." Dean said as he and Sam shook their hands with Victor.
"The kids are sleeping like… well, they're babies, so…" Billie smiled at Victor. "Hey, Mr. Bennett."
"Billie." Victor greeted with a nod. "Any news about the girls?"
"So far, nothing." Henry said and Victor nodded as he saw the look in Victor's eyes.
"I know that look, son. You're questioning everything about a life married to a witch." Victor said.
"I'm fine, Victor, now's not the time to—"
"Now's exactly the time. I've been there, remember that I was married to their mother." Victor said as he sat down.
"Let me guess, you're worried about the challenges your wife and sisters are facing that might affect a normal guy like you and how can you handle it. Truth be told, I've been there too." Sam said. "God knows I've wanted to walk away from hunting supernatural so many times."
"That kind of crap takes a toll on you and it's not easy to handle it." Dean nodded.
"I know I shouldn't doubt but I can't help it—" Henry started.
"Good. That's exactly how you should feel, son. It took me years to come to terms with it all myself." Victor said as he picked a photo of when Prue, Piper and Phoebe were children. "I turned my back on my family. My children. Patty gave up Paige because of the magic. That was also for the wrong reason."
"Why does it have to be like this?" Henry asked, frustrated. "Don't get me wrong, even if I still barely understand it all, I'm trying my best to understand and be there for Paige and the sisters—"
"Exactly." Victor said. "You may feel useless but you're far from it. You may not have powers and you may not know magic but you're just like them. It's why you and Paige fell in love with each other. You give her strength and willpower to do what she does, just as much as her sisters do. Magic is only a part of what makes my little girls great. It's the people that love them with all their heart."
Henry considered and nodded with a smile, more assured. "Thanks, Victor. That's what I needed to hear."
"You sound just like our Dad, you know." Dean said as he and Sam smiled at Victor. While their father had not been the best role model, he did raise them right at the end.
"I've been where you're at, Henry. There will always be dark times and I fear for my little girls every day, but my girls and Paige make me proud with the things they do. And they need the people they love as much as the world needs them, all you have to do is keep that in mind but don't think I've solved your problems." Victor said.
"We should head upstairs and check if there's any news." Dean said as he and Sam got up from the couch.
"Billie, do you need any help with the kids?" Victor offered.
"Sure." Billie nodded as Victor followed her to the nursery room.
"Hang on, if I'm counting right, we're one child extra. Who's this little guy?" Victor asked as he saw a new baby in a separate crib.
"Henry Jr." Billie said.
"Paige's Dad Sam is keeping an eye on her, Victor's got the kids. Any news?" Henry asked as he entered the attic upstairs.
"Your attitude has changed in the last two minutes. Who are you and what did you do with Henry?" Coop asked.
"I just needed an adjustment. Tell me you have something, please." Henry pleaded as he turned to Phoebe.
"Wherever Paige is, she can't hear me." Phoebe said.
"And Piper?" Henry asked as Phoebe sighed.
"Hearing calls is a Whitelighter thing. Not a witch thing." She explained.
"I know but I thought that the Power of Three formed a bond between you so that you could call out to one another." Henry said.
"It doesn't work that way, at least the Power of Three doesn't." Phoebe said.
"Try another spell." Sam said as he pulled out a paper. "I called Cass to do some research in the bunker. It might work, but no guarantees."
Phoebe looked at the spell. "Well, it's worth a shot."
They had drawn a symbol of triquetra on the floor, while forming a circle of candles around Phoebe, who had sat down in the middle in Lotus position.
"Hear now the words of the witches
The secrets 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
I call upon this ancient power
Bring together we sisters three!
Embrace the power!
Unite the power!"
Phoebe took a breath as she tried to call out mentally. "Piper? Paige?"
Elsewhere
"Piper? Can you hear me?"
"Phoebe?" Piper asked, looking around.
"Where?" Cole looked around in alarm as Piper raised her finger to shut him up.
"She's speaking to me telepathically." Piper explained as she realized the voice was in her head.
"Well, that's a new one. Tell her I said 'Hello'." Cole said.
"Shhht. I need to focus." Piper said, shutting him up.
"Phoebe?" Paige called out. "How are you doing this?"
"I tapped into the Power of One. I took a chance and hoped that our connection would bring us together. Where are you?" Phoebe asked.
"It's…" Paige trailed off as she looked at Prue, who shook her head. "…complicated. Kinda hard to explain. But I'm safe with Buffy and Willow, for now at least, don't worry about us."
"Do either of you have a way to get back?" Phoebe asked.
"I guess I do but… I'm not sure it's a good time." Paige said.
"Well, whatever you're in, hurry up and get your ass back here!" Phoebe snapped.
"I'm not sure if I trust my way back." Piper said.
"Figure it out. Things are getting bad and we're running out of time. As far as I can tell, the world is coming to an end." Phoebe said.
"And Leo?" Piper asked.
"Neena and Rennek have him, they're still in the Upper Regions, I hope. Who knows what's going on up there." Paige explained.
"Do whatever you have to do to come back. I love you." Phoebe said before cutting the connection off.
"I love you too." Paige said.
"They need us, Aunt Paige. All of us." Paige turned to face Melinda. "That's why I'm here. Where I come from, Neena destroys almost all of the whole universe to reunite with her love. We couldn't stop her then, since it was too late and there wasn't enough of us. But together, we stand a chance."
Paige considered and nodded. If the first witch was going to destroy the whole universe, she would have to face her whole bloodline.
Upper Regions
Leo observed helplessly as giant rock formations protruded from below and hellfire blazed, while demons emerged.
"Stop! You're tearing the whole universe apart!" Leo yelled.
"I get what's left." Rennek shrugged.
"A former whitelighter/Elder/Avatar like you would understand." Neena said as she glared at Leo. "It's a chance to start over. Free will. No more Elders or Powers That Be to tell us what to do. No more Grand Design."
"The new council of Elders had already made new rules." Leo protested.
"And how long before they fell to their old patterns?" Neena asked, laughing humorlessly. "This way, my children have a chance to live freely, well, the surviving will. I will be where I belong, finally reunite with my love. Win-win."
"Really, Leo, it makes perfect sense. All those decades wasted fighting each other." Rennek smirked.
"That was because you're a murderer." Leo glared.
"And did it ever occur to you why? Why do I kill? Why do you fight me? Why do the witches and warlocks and the demons and other beings fight each other? Because of the rules they had made. The roles they'd given us. It's time for new rules." Rennek said smugly.
"It's not that simple. We define ourselves. I know who I am. I was a good person before I became a Whitelighter." Leo sneered.
"And look where you ended. How they rewarded you. Kept you and the woman you love apart, time and time again, put you on ice, manipulated your children, almost killed you and your family more than once. And I can rewrite those rules once I'm back with the All, with my love, we can take the power and take control." Neena said, forming the Seed of Wonder in her hand and putting it on the pedestal.
"What if we don't want things to be different?" Leo pointed out. "You're no different from the Elders or the Angels of Destiny. You just want to be the one making rules."
"I'd say I earned that right." Neena said before turning to the orb at the pedestal as she reached for it and a blinding yellow glow emanated from it. "But don't worry, Leo. Just one little thing to do before I leave the Earth to whoever wants it. It's time for the inmates to run the asylum. Hang tight, the real fun is about to begin!"
Elsewhere
"I have to get back." Paige said as she turned to her friends. "We have to get back."
"You're not coming without me." Prue said.
"Or me." Melinda said.
"It's time I finally reunited with my sisters." Prue said and Paige nodded, while everyone approached her.
"Everyone, take my hand." Paige said as they did as she told, while she orbed them back.
"I love you, too." Piper whispered before turning to Cole, who looked amused. "I wasn't talking to you. Give me the apple."
"So you trust me now?" Cole asked.
"I'm doing whatever it takes to get back to my family." Piper corrected.
"I'll take that." Cole said as she picked the apple before looking at him.
"You're not coming with me?" Piper asked.
"I helped you as much as I could, besides, even if I could Phoebe get to see me, I doubt my presence would help at all." Cole said.
Piper was about to bite, when she turned to Cole, looking at him with a mix of regret and gratefulness. "Thank you, Cole… and for what it's worth, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything."
"So am I. Good luck, Piper." Cole said as Piper bit the apple and instantly vanished in a flash of light.
Halliwell Manor
A flash of light appeared in the attic as Piper appeared and Phoebe hugged her tightly.
"Oh, thank God!" Phoebe said, relieved.
"Where's your other sister?" Dean asked, looking around.
"Wait, Paige's not here?" Piper demanded, horrified.
"Did someone call for me?"
They turned to see Paige orb in with Buffy, Willow and Tara and a dark-haired woman but what shocked them was to see…
"Prue?" Piper and Phoebe asked at once.
"Well, one big happy reunion, isn't it?" Dean quipped, recognizing Prue from the family photos and happy to see his old friend too.
"You're back?" Angel asked as he entered with Spike and Dawn.
Buffy sighed in relief as she hugged them both tightly and kissed Spike. While Angel had accepted that Spike was the one for Buffy, seeing it was a different matter altogether but he kept his face straight and emotions bottled up.
"What are you two doing here?" Buffy demanded.
"I got a vision from…" Angel gestured up and Buffy nodded.
"We've heard about the Charmed Ones and took some convincing but the Winchesters vouched for us." Spike explained.
"If you want to defeat Neena, we need to use the strength of the entire bloodline. Our bloodline."
"Wait, who are you?" Piper asked, turning to the dark-haired girl, noticing there was something familiar about her before the woman hugged her tightly, bursting into tears.
"I didn't think I'd see you again, Mom…"
Piper's eyes widened as emotions started to flood her. "Melinda…" Instantly, she broke down as tears started to fill her eyes.
"Well, this is a happy reunion now, is it?"
The sisters, Buffy, Willow, Angel and Spike widened their eyes as they recognized the voice. They turned to see a brunette girl with tanned skin in rather revealing black dress that smiled at them.
"It's been a long time, has it?"
"Cordelia?" Buffy, Willow, Tara, Angel and Spike went at once.
"Kyra?" Piper, Phoebe and Paige said at once.
One big reunion, is it?
The explanation about Cordelia/Kyra will be explained later but I hope it won't be too convoluted and hope you like seeing Angel and Spike joining in now.
Next chapter will be some reunions and then this story ends with a climax and an aftermath.
So, what do you guys think about it?
Please review and let me know if you are enjoying this so far and want for me to continue.
