1 The Explanation
(At the Palace in Piara)
"Where are we?" asked Andrea nervously.
"We're right outside the dungeons. We're going to go in there and rescue all the prisoners and then we will go after Mathew," whispered Prue.
"Okay, let's get this over with," said Piper.
They walked into the dungeon where they saw witches and elves, Dukes and Lords, and even some Duchesses and Ladies. The witches looked like they would kill anything that came into the dungeons and the elves looked like they hadn't slept in years. The Dukes and Lords were planning an escape while the Duchesses and Ladies were comforting each other. When the girls walked in, the witches almost started throwing spells, but before they could, one of them saw Leo.
"Wait, that's Leo. He's my whitelighter. Leo, who are they? Are they putting you in here too? Did you get caught?" asked the old witch.
"No, Agatha, these are the Charmed Ones and the Young Ones. We have come to help you escape," Leo told the witch.
"Oh, alright."
"Let's get to work girls," said Prue.
The Charmed Ones started unlocking each cell while the Young Ones looked on. When all the cells were unlocked, Prue explained the plan.
"You will all stay here until you see a blue cat walk in. That will be Gwyn, and it will mean that Mathew is dead and the coast is clear. Until then, stay where you are. Now, if a green cat walks through, it will mean that Piper and Andrea have frozen everyone and that you must get out quickly. Until either cat comes in, pretend that we haven't been here. Good Luck."
"Good Luck, Charmed Ones," said the witch called Agatha, "and good luck to you too, Young Ones!"

"Now, where's Mathew?" asked Piper.
"He's in the throne room," said Issabella.
"Thank you, Izzy," said Gwyn sarcastically, "but where is the throne room?"
"We know where it is," said the Charmed Ones in unison.
"We grew up here remember," said Paige.
"That's right," said Gwyn, "sorry about that Izzy."
"Follow us!"
The company of ten walked down the corridor towards the golden double doors that marked the throne room. When they saw the guards at the front of the doors, Cole walked in front of the group and threw one energy ball at each guard. Then, Gwyn transformed into a mouse and crept into the throne room. She saw Mathew with his golden crown on his head and a woman dressed in green silk at his side. Then, Gwyn crept back outside and told the nine waiting people that they probably win easily because there were only two people in the room.
"Okay," said Prue taking charge again, "here's the plan: Gwyn will change into one of these fools and say that she found the Charmed Ones wandering around the palace. Then, we'll come in and have a little chat with our older brother. If we get into any trouble, we'll call for you guys. Gwyn will still be in guard form and she will introduce you as the Young Ones, daughters of the Charmed Ones. Then, we'll fight. Everyone got it? Good! Let's do it!"
Gwyn changed into a guard and entered the throne room. "Your Majesty," said she, "I found the Charmed Ones sneaking around the palace and brought them here."
"Ah, bring them in," said the King.
"Yes Your Majesty."
Gwyn walked back outside and told Piper, Phoebe, Paige and Prue that it worked, and she brought them in.
"Here they are Your Majesty."
"You may go now."
Gwyn walked out and told everyone it was still working.
"Izzy, read his mind to see if he is believing us."
"Okay," said Issabella. She read his mind and said, "If he doesn't believe us, then he is hiding it very well because I couldn't find a trace of disbelief."
"Good," said Julia.

Meanwhile…
"So, Mathew," said Prue, "we hear that you switched over."
"And how did you find this out?" asked Mathew.
"Oh, we have our sources," said Piper.
"And who would that be?" asked Mathew.
"A certain daughter of a very powerful witch," said Phoebe.
"And which witch would this be?" asked Mathew getting more nervous by the minute.
"Wouldn't you like to know," said Paige sarcastically.
"You!" screamed Mathew at Paige.
"You what?" said Paige innocently.
"You half-breed!" he screamed.
"I'm a half-breed? So that is why I can orb," said Paige, "how cool."
"I didn't know you were a half-breed," said Phoebe.
"That's not why we're here, Phoebe," said Prue. "We can talk about that later. Now, Mathew, why did you do it?"
"Do what?" asked Mathew.
"Switch over, kill our parents, trap all of the good magic in the kingdom?"
"Wait, you killed our parents?" asked Phoebe.
"Phoebe," said Piper.
"Sorry, I'll shut up."
"Now, back to you Mathew," said Piper, "why did you do it?"
"Oh, that. Well, for the record, the dragons are still out there somewhere," he said trying to get off the subject.
"Just get on with it will you."
"That's right. Well if I have to do this, then let us start with when. I switched over when the half-breed married King Louis. Why? Because I had just found out that she was a half-breed and I wanted revenge and the only way to get that and have it be acceptable was to switch over. Now, I killed our parents fifteen years ago because that was the first part of my revenge. I was only trying to poison mother, but father took a sip of mother's wine and was poisoned too. Then, earlier this year, I locked up all of the good magic because I knew you would gather all of your armies and attack the evil in my kingdom. Then, the half-breed wouldn't have anyone to protect her, so I could easily get to her and kill her. Then, my revenge would be complete and her line would be cut off for good. By the way, did I introduce you to my wife yet? No, what a pity. Well, sisters – and half-breed – this is my wife Sarissa. Sarissa, these are my sisters Prue, Piper, and Phoebe, and this is the half-breed, which has no name to me. Now, tell ME something. Who told you I had gone evil?"
"The half-breed's daughter," said Phoebe. "Oops. I'm sorry Paige. It was Paige's daughter. I bet you didn't know that we have daughter did you?"
"No, I didn't. Can I meet my nieces?"
"I guess so," said Piper. "Gwyn, bring them in."
Gwyn walked in still as the guard and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to present to you The Young Ones!"
"Nice Gwyn, now go back to yourself and get in line," said Phoebe to her daughter.
"Alright mother," she said, and she changed back into herself.
"Now," said Prue, "I would like to introduce you to Julia(Julia waves), my daughter, Gwyneth(Gwyn waves), Phoebe's daughter, Andrea(Andrea waves), Piper's daughter, and Issabella(Izzy waves), Paige's daughter."
"Hey, why do I have to be last?" Issabella asked to no one in particular.
"Because you're the youngest. Now turn around, close your mouth and smile," said Andrea.
"Oh. But that's not fair."
"Now," said Mathew, "tell me why you are really here."
"To kick your ass!" said all the girls together.
