"Piper, do you have any idea what you are doing?" Phoebe asked her. They had taken over the room where the monitor controls were kept and sent a message to Prue. The guards hadn't been expecting them, so it had gone quickly.
"No." Piper screamed back at her. She punched all the buttons at once.
"Pipe, not that one!" Leo told her, but it was too late. The console blew out. "How are we going to get to Prue? I can't orb in here!" Just then, the door began banging. The guards were yelling at them.
"Witches! You can't do this! You'll be sorry you messed with us!" the yelled.
"SHUT UP!" Piper yelled. "I can't concentrate!" She opened the door and tried to freeze the guards. They stood still for a minute, but then all began morphing into different shapes. They began to take the shape of demons that were wearing black suits and black ties and looked awfully familiar.
"Your powers won't work on us, Witch." one said. He sent a blue energy ball towards Phoebe. She ducked it, but was staring off in a different direction.
"Cole," she whispered. "What are you doing here?"

"No, no, no, no, no!" Ariel screamed. "They can't do that. If they do that, everybody is going to get killed!"
"They can't do what?" Prue screamed back at her. They were still locked in the room but Piper had managed to turn the viewing screen on before she had blown up the control panel. They were watching the fight.
"She can't get distracted. Who is that guy? Something is going to go wrong if she gets distracted!" Ariel yelled again.
"Who?" Prue yelled.
"Phoebe! Aren't you paying attention?" Prue looked up. There stood Cole. His eyes and mouth held a smirk. Phoebe was gapping at him and he obviously loved every moment of it.
"Phee-eebs," she groaned out loud. "Phoebe!" As if Phoebe had heard her, she snapped out of whatever trance she had put herself in. She levitated herself over the next blue energy ball that was thrown at her. Piper seemed to get herself together to, freezing a demon and unintentionally blowing up another.
Wendy, Lena, and Ariel joined in a circle behind Prue. Prue turned around to see that they were holding hands and murmuring to themselves. Prue listened into the chant. They were chanting a very familiar spell.
Hear now the words of the witches,
The secrets we hid in the night.
The oldest of Gods are invoked here,
Great work of magic is sought.
In this night and in this hour,
We call upon the ancient power.
Bring your powers to we witches three.
We want the power, give us the power.
Wendy looked up to see Prue looking at her. "The spell will help to increase our powers." She noticed Prue still staring. "You guys aren't the only witches with that spell. Everybody uses it, we just all change it to fit our situation."
"Ok, but what's that going to accomplish? We're still stuck here!" Prue told her.
"Not for long. Look." Lena pointed towards the screen.

Phoebe has snapped out of trance and quickly continued fighting with Piper. She levitated over another blue energy ball and towards the one remaining control panel in the room. She quickly pressed a big blue button that had a label that read 'door' on it.
"Noooo!" one of the demons cried and ran straight for her. She was knocked over to one side. She looked up. The demon was a tall, blonde man, wearing the same outfits as Cole and the other members of the brotherhood. He tried re-lock the doors, forgetting that the captured witches could see what Phoebe had done. Angrily, he shot another blue energy ball at her. Helplessly, she watched as it flew quickly towards her. She couldn't move. The ball was frozen in mid air. Phoebe looked at Piper and smiled.
"Phoebe, are you ok?" Leo bent down next to her.
"Yeah, I should be fine." Leo held his hands over her leg. "I think it's broken."
"That should do it." He finished healing her leg, and soon she was back up on the job.
"Phoebe." A voice stated. "You shouldn't be here. Why couldn't you leave well enough alone."
Remembering that voice, Phoebe turned around. "Cole, I have to protect the innocent. You're trying to kill them. I think we have a conflicted interest here."
"Phoebe," he groaned. "Just get out of here."
"No Cole, I have to save my sister." She hobbled to her feet. Leo might have healed her leg, but the pain of breaking it was still there.
"Leave. Now. Phoebe. I'm only going to give you one more chance before I have to kill you." He said again, "don't make me do that."
"Then you are going to have to kill me."
