A week after Prue's near death experience, she was ready to get even with Sytal.
"Are you sure?" Rhome asked.
"You could get hurt again." Lierre said.
Prue just continued stretching.
"I can handle it." She said. "Plus, now that we know how to heal each other, nothing too horrible can happen."
"Unless you die instantly." Rhome mumbled.
Both Prue and Lierre threw him looks.
"Sorry to be morbid, but I've seen it happen."
Sytal shimmered in with his arms crossed. He didn't take Prue seriously at all.
"If we're going to do this, let's just do it."
"I'm fine with that." Prue said then moved to the middle of the room. Sytal followed and they took their fighting positions.
"Are you ready?" Rhome mumbled to Lierre.
Lierre squeezed the handle of the knife that he had in his hand behind his back and began to sweat a little.
"Yeah, I'm ready for the worst." Lierre said quietly. Then the two began to watch the fight.
Prue kicked Sytal in his side. Sytal grabbed her foot and slammed her down. Prue rolled backward, then flipped herself back to her feet. She then shimmered behind Sytal and jumped onto his back. She put him in a headlock and began to choke him.
Sytal, gasping for air, reached back and grabbed Prue by the feet again. He figured he would end it quickly, and began to swing Prue again.
After Sytal released her and while Prue was flying toward the wall, she turned so her feet were going to impact first, then she used her telekinesis on the wall. It created two forces, the force of Sytal's toss pushing her forward and her telekinesis pushing on the wall, then back to her. It created a slow motion effect.
Prue's feet touched the wall and the two forces met, propelling her backwards and straight at Sytal. Prue turned again and her feet connected with Sytal's chest, sending him flying into the wall.
Prue stopped herself using the same telekinesis trick. She softly landed her feet on the wall, then flipped backward and landed on her feet on the ground.
She put her hands in the air in victory and began jumping around.
Lierre sighed with relief and dropped the knife, then he and Rhome went over to her.
"I won!" Prue squealed.
"You did!" Lierre said happily.
"You beat the bastard real good!" Rhome said with a huge smile.
Sytal pulled himself up, then scowled at the three.
"I quit." He growled then shimmered out.
Lierre, Rhome, and Prue just laughed.
* * The Source's chamber * *
After The Source's laughter drifted away, Sytal lifted his head feebly.
"You are dismissed from your duty." The Source said.
Sytal stood up and looked at The Source.
"Go nurse your wounds." The Source said. "You will have time. You won't be called on for some time."
* * The Seer's chamber * *
Rhome walked in first, all smiles. He was followed by Prue and Lierre, to the great pleasure and yet disgust of the Seer, who were holding hands.
"May I present to you my greatest accomplishment yet." Rhome said and gestured to Prue.
"Why is that?" The Seer asked.
"She just defeated Sytal in battle." Rhome said.
"So, now all they have is you?" The Seer asked.
"I assure you, that is not something negative." Rhome said.
The Seer just "hmmmm"ed then went over to her altar. She began to make a potion that would give Prue her full strength back. It would also boost the emotional bond potion, but that would not be mentioned.
"How did you do it?" The Seer asked as she made the potion.
"It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen." Rhome said. "She defied the laws of physics and used her telekinesis to throw herself at him, I can't even describe it. It's indescribable. It's amazing."
"It wasn't all that great." Prue said.
"Yes it was." Lierre said. Prue smiled.
"Okay, so it was."
The Seer rolled her eyes. The new Three Stooges were being formed right in front of her eyes.
The Seer finished the potion, put it in a silver goblet, then gave it to Prue.
"What is it?" Prue asked.
"It will give you back your strength." The Seer told her.
Prue took a sip then made a face.
"I didn't say it would taste well." The Seer said, then went to her altar to tidy it. The potion would have tasted well actually, if the extra emotional potion hadn't been added.
Prue pinched her nose then finished drinking the potion, then used her telekinesis to put the goblet back on the altar.
"We should celebrate." Rhome said.
"What should we do?" Lierre asked.
Prue grinned.
"I know what we could do."
* * Outside a club called Millennium * *
Rhome, Lierre, and Prue were across the street from the club. Lierre had a terrible déjà vu.
"Clubbing? You're big celebration is clubbing?" Rhome asked.
"Oh, you underestimate the joys of clubbing." Prue told him then led the way across the street and into the club.
Once inside the club, as soon as Rhome heard the music, he started to enjoy himself.
"You're right." Rhome said. "You are the Queen."
"Don't I know it." Prue said.
Lierre was surprised that he was actually enjoying himself. Then he realized it was probably because he could actually relax and not be worried about the Charmed Ones vanquishing him.
"Look at all the beautiful people." Rhome said. "Where do I start?"
"From the beginning." Prue told him.
Rhome just nodded then went off into the crowd.
"Let's dance." Prue said, then pulled Lierre onto the dance floor.
* *
After half an hour of dancing with six complete strangers, Rhome made his way to the bar and sat down. He looked around at all the beautiful strangers, then spotted Prue and Lierre in the crowd.
He ordered his drink then looked around for his next dancing partner. For the first time in about fifty years, he was in a room full of people and didn't feel like killing anyone.
The bartender put his drink next to him, pulling him out of the memories he was reliving. Rhome fished some money out of his pocket then put it on the bar.
He enjoyed himself for a while, then he noticed someone that made his eyes nearly bug out of his head. It was one of the warlocks of the Corvo Faction... and he seemed to be looking for someone.
Rhome quickly got up from his seat then went over to Prue and Lierre.
"I hate to interrupt the 'who's a sexier dancer' contest, but we have to go."
"Already? Why?" Prue asked.
"Big bad warlock, probably coming to kill us all." Rhome said.
"Yeah, let's go." Lierre said.
The three quickly left the club and shimmered back to the Underworld.
* * Prue's chamber * *
Prue went over to her desk and picked up the Book. She flipped through the pages until she found the Corvo Faction page.
"Podium." She said absentmindedly, then a black (of course) podium appeared before and she put the Book down on it.
"When did you learn to do that?" Lierre asked.
"Does it really matter?" Prue said.
"They probably know what's going on." Rhome said and began to pace. "I bet Sytal told them to spite us."
* * The Source's chamber * *
The Seer looked into the Oracle's crystal ball.
"He's probably right."
The Source made a small "Hmmmmm." It was obvious that he was trying to figure out the best way to destroy Sytal and the Corvo Faction in the most efficient way possible.
"Are you sure?" Rhome asked.
"You could get hurt again." Lierre said.
Prue just continued stretching.
"I can handle it." She said. "Plus, now that we know how to heal each other, nothing too horrible can happen."
