A/N: After the awful wait, I can finally post! Yay! Enjoy!



"Whoa." Prue muttered. "What a trip."

"Prue!" Piper and Phoebe exclaimed and rushed over to her, then hugged her tightly.

"Oh, we're so glad...no, ecstatic that you're okay!" Phoebe said.

"Me too." Prue said.

"What's wrong?" Piper asked.

"Nothing." Prue said and pulled out the orb. "I won."

"You what?" Dark Piper said, rushing over to them. She snatched up the orb and examined it closely.

"Did she?" Dark Phoebe asked, walking next to her sister.

"Yes." Dark Piper said. "Pruedence has been captured."

"You go Prue!" Phoebe said.

"Don't be so smug." Dark Piper said and waved her hand. A small rack appeared. It had three holes big enough to fit the orbs.

"What's that?" Piper asked.

"It is where the winning side keeps its catches." Dark Piper said and placed it on the table. Then she handed Prue the orb.

"Well, then maybe we should just put this in there now." Prue said.

"Not so fast." Dark Phoebe said. "We're not done."

Ali walked into the room carrying Dark Prue's sword.

"You did it." She said to Prue quietly. Prue smiled.

"Not to break the moment, but there is business to be done." Dark Piper said, then her sword appeared in her hand. Then she and Piper disappeared in two puffs of smoke.


"Prue was right. That is quite the trip." Piper said.

"Shut up and fight." Dark Piper said. Then a sword fell in front of Piper.

"What am I supposed to do with that?"

"Use it."

Piper picked up the sword and looked at Dark Piper. Dark Piper was smiling in a way that sent chills down Piper's spine.

"One..."

"What are you counting for?"

"Two..."

"Seriously, tell me."

"Three!" Dark Piper yelled and rushed forward. Piper dove out of the way just as Dark Piper lunged forward with her sword.

"Thanks for the warning." Piper said and stood up. Dark Piper lashed her sword forward, but Piper put up her sword to block it.

"There are no warnings here." Dark Piper said and pushed Piper backward.

Piper rolled out of the way as Dark Piper's sword slashed downward. The sword lightly nicked Piper's shoulder.

"Now you've pissed me off." Piper said and got up.

Piper rushed forward and swung her sword and connected. It sliced Dark Piper's hip and a small river of slow trickling blood appeared.

"For someone who talks so much, you fight well." Dark Piper said, smiling wickedly.

"You just called me a bigmouth. You did not just call me a bigmouth." Piper said.

Dark Piper, still smiling, swung her sword toward Piper, but Piper froze it. Then Piper took her sword and swung at Dark Piper's sword, sending it sailing far to the right.

"I'm going to enjoy killing you." Dark Piper said and shimmered out.

"That isn't fair!" Piper yelled.

"In here, there are rules." Dark Piper's voice echoed around.

"Come out and fight!" Piper yelled.

"Okay." Dark Piper's voice said.

Then Dark Piper hit Piper hard in the back, knocking her on her hands and knees. Dark Piper pulled Piper to her feet by her hair and whispered in her ear.

"This is for my sister." Dark Piper said, then spun Piper around and punched her hard in the face, splitting her lip.

"I really don't like you." Piper said and lifted her sword.

Piper swung the sword down, but dark Piper threw up the orb. Piper stopped and threw her sword to her side, not wanting to get trapped in the orb.

"Quick reflexes I see." Dark Piper commented.

"Something you and yours don't have." Piper said, then kicked Dark Piper in the side, knocking her down. "I got blood on my shoe! That makes me mad."

Piper went to kick Dark Piper, but Dark Piper shimmered out and Piper slipped. Dark Piper laughed lowly as she shimmered behind Piper.
Once again, Dark Piper lifted Piper up by her hair, but this time Piper was ready. Piper grabbed Dark Piper's wrist and flipped her.

Piper started running to her sword, but Dark Piper grabbed her ankle, making Piper fall flat on her face. Dark Piper started to go, but Piper grabbed her ankles and yanked her back, then used her power and froze her.

"The one time I want someone to blow up." Piper mumbled as she got her sword.

Dark Piper unfroze as Piper pulled her orb from her pocket. Dark Piper shimmered and Piper moved from her spot by the swords. Sure enough, Dark Piper shimmered near her sword and picked it up.

"So, you aren't as stupid as I thought." Dark Piper said and walked forward.

"It's going to end." Piper said.

Piper swung forward with her sword, but Dark Piper blocked it and they began to duel in an odd dance. Piper moved left and rhythmically, Dark Piper followed and lashed out with her sword. They did this for a few more minutes before Piper's sword slipped went straight through Dark Piper's stomach.

Dark Piper looked up at Piper and Piper's eyes widened. Dark Piper's nose began to bleed and blood trickled from her mouth. Piper was shocked and horrified.

"Go on then." Dark Piper sputtered weakly. "Imprison me. Make the pain go away."

Piper shakily took the orb from her pocket, never taking her eyes off Dark Piper. Piper removed the sword and threw it down. Then she tossed the orb at Dark Piper, who changed into electricity and entered the orb.

Just before Piper was transported home, a whisper echoed around the room. It was Dark Piper's voice.

"Thank you."
