High School High "Too Late for Hope"

Everyone is in the kitchen talking over an after school snack. Their conversation changes to what they're going to do about J.

Piper: She is ultimately powerful now. You guys, there is no way we are gonna be able to defeat her by ourselves.

Cole: Where gonna need some major help from somebody.

Phoebe: Like who?

Leo: I don't know, but whoever it is, we're gonna have to find them fast.

Through the whole convo, Ashley has been sitting in stony silence. Paige is the first ot notice this.

Paige: What's wrong Ashley?

Ashley: Nothing, I think I'm just tired you know. All this excitment is wearing me down. I'm gonna go take a nap.

Ashley leaves the room and Glenn turns to the others.

Glenn: You guys, I know I'm not exactly genius material, but I think something is wrong with our musical little pal.

Logan: No Glenn, you think?

Max: She's been through so much crap lately. Her sister dying then coming back as the Source. That's tough enough, but now the future of her group is in danger. J was their manager. Without her, they have no vision for the future.

Piper: You're right. And through all this she hasn't shown any signs of being sad about her sister.

Leo: Someone better talk to her, before she cracks. Bottling that stuff up can't be good.

Erica: I'll go talk to her. I mean, now, we're the only thing that she has left.

Brandi: Yeah. Let's go.

They get up to go upstairs to Ashley's silent cries but, then a demon crashes through the window leaving everyone glued to their seats

Where we last left off, everyone is now scrambling attacking the demon left and right until finally vanquishing him

Phoebe: And what was that about? I mean demons just don't pop through the window. Usually they shimmer in.

The older cast(in case you haven't noticed they are still here helping out the younger guys)walks into the manor with groceries which is now pretty messed up manor

Older Piper: What happened, here? We can't leave you alone twenty mintues! Look at the window!

She sets the groceries down and starts to examine the rest of the house

Piper: If it counts for anything, it wasn't all of our fault. A demon attacked us.

Older Phoebe: Demon? What kind of demon?

Paige: We don't know, your regular upper level demon. Black with the red tatoo's all over his body.

Older Paige: They must be trying to get in the good graces with the new Source, J. I mean, that's what I'd do if I were a demon.

Older Piper: I mean, why? J had the chance to kill all of us last night but she didn't.

Glenn: She's had the chance to kill all of us lots of times before but never did. Maybe this demon is working for himself. You know, kill the Charmed Ones, and he will be the new Source. J will be thrown from the throne.

Logan: You know, that's the most intellegent thing I've ever heard you say.

Glenn: I know.

Older Leo: Now that J is the Source, we're gonna have a lot more demons attacking us trying to overpower, J. Most likely warlocks.

Leo: Thank you captain obvious.

Older Leo looks at Leo

Max: Well, we can't let them kill us, and we can't let J be the Source, anymore, so why don't we find someone who wants it without killing us.

Piper: Are you crazy?! They'll kill us after their corronated!

Max: It was just a suggestion. God, why do you have to blow everything outta proportion?!

Older Piper: Guys.....

Piper: I'm not blowing anything outta proportion, I'm just telling it how it is.

Older Piper: Guys.......

Max: Oh yeah, the great Piper, right again!

Older Piper: Will you just shut up! God, you act worser than I remeber!

Piper stumbles a little bit and Older Leo catches her

Older Leo: Piper? Piper?

Piper kinda got a little light headed and blacked out

Older Leo: Piper!

Well, the next thing you know Piper is in labour and is lying on a stretcher. Doctors are pushing her down the corridor, with Older Leo, Paige and, Phoebe.

Doctor: How long has she been pregnant?

Leo: About, 9 months now.

Feels Piper baby

Doctor: Yep, this ones ripe. She's gotta go into surgery now.

Older Paige: She can't go into labour, she uncounscious!

Doctor: Oh yes we can. C-section, lot's of very technichal play with thingy's, and we can wake her up with some drugs. From the looks of it, she's a heavy sleeper, we gonna need a lot of that juice.

Nurse goes off to get the juice

Doctor: Okay, uh, you're going stay outside.

Older Phoebe: Why?

Doctor: In, this hospital, only one relative can be in the labour room. And that would be him, because duh, he's the daddy.

Older Paige: What's your name so I can report you later.

Doctor: Haha. My name is Kris. Doctor K if you nasty.

They leave Older Paige and Phoebe right outside the labour room Well, I don't want to get all detailish but while in labour Leo fainted about 6 times while the Doctor Kris was listening to the radio while in operation. After about 7 agonizing hours, a beutiful healthy baby was delivered.

Everyone waiting in the emergency room, Doctor Kris walks up and at the sight of him, they all stand up and surround him

Doctor Kris: She didn't make it through. I'm sorry.

Older Phoebe: She died?! What?! This cannot be happening to me.

Doctor Kris: She never made cuz she was never awake in the operation! Get it?! You can't make it through an operation, if you never was in it!

He starts laughing hysterically while Paige hits him in the arm

Doctor Kris: I'm just playing. She's awake in room 208 with her husband. Or should I say, baby daddy!

He starts cracking up hysterically again as he walks away Piper and Leo are inside a hospital room with thier newborn baby boy when the rest walk in and they start doing the baby coo's and ticking the feet and stuff. Glenn couldn't touch him in fear of hurting the baby.

Older Paige: What's his name?

Older Leo: Leo Halliwell Wyatt.

Glenn: Why the double last middle name?

Older Piper: To let him, know who he came from, and what he is.

Glenn: Aw, come on he'll remeber that! I mean, who can forget your parents.

Paige: You did when you walked outta Koaster Kindom and couldn't get back in.

Glenn: I happened one time, okay! One time!

Older Phoebe: He looks so much like Leo.

Older Paige: Yeah, he does doesn't he?

Cole: So what does this make Piper and Leo? I mean you're them, and they're you. Technically it's their baby also, so should you have custody rights?

Logan: It's their baby, even though they are each other, eventually it will become their baby, but not any time soon.

Piper: Can I hold him?

Older Piper: Sure.

Piper walks over to older Piper picks up the baby but the lights back out and walls start shaking

Max: What's happening?

Leo: I don't know.

Then a vortex opens up voices from all over the hospital can hear

Voice: Come with me if you want to live.

They all walk into the vortex fearing for their lives

In the underworld, the vortex opens into a cage with Ashley, Erica, and Brandi already there

Brandi: Cool! A baby!

Older Phoebe: Where are we?

Cole: In the main quaters for the Source.

Older Piper: That's not good is it.

Leo: We're screwed.

J, Alec, Fritz, Jennifer, and Lenni shimmer in

J: Welcome. Make yourselves comfortable, you'll be here a while. Older Piper: What do you want from us?!

J: Exactly what you want. To get rid of the weaker half. I wanted to show you how much I care. All of you. Alec.

With the snap of Alec's fingers, Dana in Skidd appear in two seperate chambers

In unison, Erica and Leo both scream out Dana and Skidds name as they appear

J: Erica? I thought you hated Dana? At least that's what I heard. Funny how things start to work out that way at the heat of the moment. Older Piper: If you don't let us outta here, you gonna be sorry you- J: You'll what? Your powers are usless. So useless, you can't even protect your baby.

Piper screams as J takes Piper baby with her powers and puts him in a crib Piper flings herself at the bars

Piper: Leo!

Leo goes to her side

Leo: It's okay, Piper. She won't do anything.

J: Leo isn't it. What a wonderful name for a baby from your kind. Don't worry, I won't hurt him. I don't even want him.

Ashley: J. Don't do this. You can stop right now.

J: Why? I'm on top, now. No one going to stop me from being a half breed, snarling as a walk down the street. They bow as they see me. They have respect for me.

Ashley: They don't have respect for you, they fear you! Right now, they're plotting your demise.

J: I've had enough of your crap.

With the flick of her finger she ducktapes her mouth

J: Now, back to business.

J walks up to the cages where Dana and Skidd are being held

J: Now who wants to die first?

Skidd spits in J's face

J: You're gonna regret that.

J turns back around

J: I bet you're probally wondering why Skidd is here, right Leo? Was it because she was an informant? Well, that's part of the story. After I obsorbed Tempus's powers, I ressurected Skidd and Fritz from limbo, who didn't want to be reborn, as a farm animal. Skidd and Fritz played a game show. One that would change your destiny's. Their destiny's too. If Fritz one, he would get Piper, and if Skidd won, well you know. They were sent to brainwash you. After that was finshed, they were supposed to kill you. Guess someone didn't finsih the job.

J turns back around to Skidd who now has guild all over her face

J: Isn't that right Skidd?

Silence

J: Come on, Skidd. This is confession time, speak or forever hold you peace.

More silence

J: Nothing?! What about you Leo? I'll let you two talk.

J makes a chair appear and sits down to watch after a lot more silence, Leo finally say something

Leo: Skidd. You did this? How could you do this to me?!

Skidd: Leo, I didn't mean for it to come out like this. I didn't know it would go this far.

Leo: Skidd, no one want's it to go this far, but it does and there's nothing that you can do about it.I know you didn't want it to go this far, I know I didn't but it did. Why Skidd?

Skidd: I didn't want to die.

Leo: Well, we all gotta die somethime. I did.

J starts clapping

J: Know that was some Day of Our Lives right there! Anyone else? How about you Erica, Dana. Nothing?

J gets up and walks over to this lever

J: Well, now we come to my favorite part of the day- the machine!

She pulls the sheet and under it is this big machicne with all these cutters and grinders everywhere

J: Now this machine will be your very last stop and demise. Through this machine you will be chopped, grinded, and cut. Why use engery balls when I can watch you down to your very last cry of pain. So who first?

Dana walks back and fourth between the two cages

J: Dana or Skidd? Hmm. Tough decision.

She randomly snaps her fingers and Dana appears on the conver belt

J: Dana, looks like the machine has chosen you.

She slowly walks over to the machine and pulls the lever and Alec walks over to her

Alec: J, I don't know if we should do this. Let them go.

J: Let them go?! After all that they did to me you want me to let them go?!

Alec: J, we can stop this right now and everyone will walk home happy.

J: You know what Alec?! No one is going to walk home happy not even you.

She makes a sword appear in her hands so Alec pulls the lever out of the machine commencing Dana down the machine. J and Alec twirl and their swords or should I say levers cling and boom and J cut Alec on the arm and he drop his lever. J stops for a moment and looks at Alec and pain and commences in the battle Alec left defenseless. Alec uses his power to open up the cages that everyone is in while J still tries to kill him.

Alec: Get Dana off the machine!

Erica runs to get Dana off the machine while the rest go and release Skidd and get Leo Halliwell Wyatt when J sees this she gets distracted and stops

J: No!

Alec seeing the oppourtuinity, hits J over the head with some unknown demon thing and knocks her out

Alec: Get her to the manor.

Piper: Why?

Older Phoebe: We're going to kill her demonic side.

In the manor time has passed

Older Piper: Where's the potion she's waking up!

J starts to get back up but Alec hits her upside the head again she easily falls back asleep

Older Piper: Okay. You got the potion?

Older Phoebe: Right here?

Older Piper: Okay back up. Get ready her demonic side is going to attack us.

Older Piper grabs the potion and throws at J and her ugly demon side starts rising up outta her with J screaming in pain, and demonic side jumps outta her body leaving a lifeless J they fight the Charmed Ones win duh you should know it by now

Older Piper: Leo, heal her.

Both Leos run over

Older Piper: Not you, him.

Older Leo keep on going and little Leo stops in his tracks

Older Leo heals her and J suddenly wakes up, Hypnotic and them all hugs saying we almost lost you, yada yada yada, then the older guys start to fade

Older Leo: The magic starting to wear off, come on.

They older guys with the baby all finally fade off with the rest watching them go

Skidd, gets up and starts to leave(thought I forgot about her didn't you?!) but Leo follow her and gives her one final hug and she shimmers out

End
