Chapter 4
Cole said nothing, just smiled at Lana before they both began to walk in front of the guard. "Ow! My ankle!" Lana yelped, collapsing to the floor.
"Get up." The guard told her as he aimed his gun in the direction of her head.
Cole turned and kicked the gun up in the air, catching it himself. "What was it you said, demon scum?" He asked.
The guard pushed Cole and started running away back towards the Prison building, the towers of it could be seen in the distance, just poking out of the fog.
Lana got up from the floor and high fived Cole. "Not a bad team, eh Turner."
"Are you gonna catch that guy?" Cole asked, referring to the guard that had ran.
The demon witch shimmered away, and moments later returned with the guard. "Remember who's plan we're still using Turner." She told him, throwing the guard before Cole's mercy.
"Lana. Why can't you shimmer us out of this place? We wouldn't need the one way ticket back to the prison." Cole was puzzled; every demon with the power to shimmer could switch from plane to plane, he'd done this many of times as Belthazor.
"Because if you were to look at the sky, you'd see the occasional spark, we're under a bubble that stops us leaving the plane. My father once tried to get me to shimmer out of this dimension long ago, I couldn't. So what d'ya say we finish this?!" Being reminded of her father always made her sad, the only memories she ever had of him was being locked up, and beaten every time he tried to be a good father.
"Alright, lead the way back to the prison." He told the guard, pushing him forward. "-And no cheap shots 'cos I'm no longer feeling generous and will have to kill you." His voice was quiet and low, it sounded quite sinister as if his demonic side was speaking for him.
Five minutes of slow walking through the forest, lead them to the opening where the giant prison could be seen clearly, the fog had been getting thicker but the giant metal grey prison towered the weather.
More voices could be heard somewhere nearby, Lana looked to Cole in a panic. Cole quickly and violently pushed the guard they were with in the face, knocking him out. "I'm gonna turn myself in." Lana was shocked, "What?? No! No you're not, I can't do this without you!"
"They'll take me back inside, meaning they'll use the teleporter. Once they do, you can shimmer in."
"No Cole, you don't understand! I shimmered in before, they'll use that energy to adapt to my powers, the prison walls will be magically protected for my shimmering in."
"Lana, trust me. If you stand where I'm teleported in, then the energy from the teleporter will carry you through if you shimmer."
Before she could answer back, he ran out in to the open where he was instantly shot down. Five guards all surrounded him with guns, they were more protected than any other guards before, no flesh on them was exposed. They picked him up and teleported back in to the prison.
The Walls
"Nice to see you again Belthazor. It's time to make you pay for escaping." This was the computer talking, a voice that came from around the entire teleportation chamber.
This time there was nothing for Cole to do, the five guards that attacked him outside the prison were all close by and any attempt to escape would prove useless. "Before you make me pay, can I just ask that tell me my exact crimes, other than taking over as the new Source and bringing the demonic forces together? I even came back from the dead after being vanquished by the Charmed Ones, no other demon could say that! I demand that I be released to live my life how I please. Or at least a fair trial!"
"Demons are not given a fair hearing Belthazor, you killed many of your own kind, this is the place where you come to pay for that!" A guard shouted.
The teleporter began to buzz, and once again Lana appeared behind the electricity. Her eyes took the shape of yellow thunder bolts, as she placed both hands on the electricity and literally pushed it in the direction of those five guards.
Cole dropped to floor, and watched as they got taken down by the bolts. He was amazed as to how powerful she was, as he now watched her step out the teleporter.
She pointed at the big metal double doors and they closed just as a whole bunch of guards tried to come in to the chamber. She waved her hand again, and a bolt slid across the door. "I'll hold this door shut, and shout the codes at you to put in to the machine. Then we'll have ourselves a war."
Cole ran to the machine and looked at Lana who leaned back against the double doors. "Type activate demon gates, it'll ask for a sector code." She shouted as guards tried to break in. "3221099404910."
Cole typed it in the machine, and soon after the screen in front read demon gates open. He looked at the security monitors and the demons were coming out of their rooms thick and fast.
"We did it!!" Lana shouted with excitement. She turned and unlocked the bolts.
"Lana, NO!" Cole shouted from the machine. "This teleporter will get us home."
"This is my home. It's them or us."
"Wait, look!" Cole said, turning her attentions to the security monitors.
Punisher demons shimmered in their hundreds, easily wiping out the other demons that scrapped with the guards of the prison.
"Lana you won't stand a chance on your own, there's too many. Absorb a punisher's energy and that'll give you enough power to get us out."
Lana nodded and moved away from the door, seconds later the door flew across the room. There stood a punisher. The punisher through a fireball at Cole and narrowly missed when the demonic lawyer dived clear. From behind, Lana placed her hand on the demon and they both started to glow. She turned red exactly like the demon, and quickly let go, trying to get her breath back. But all the punisher could do was lie on the floor in a heap. .
Cole quickly went back to the machine and began pressing every button on it, just as another punisher came in. Lana quickly launched a fireball from the other punishers' powers killing the new one. "Send as much energy as you can in to the machine, when it heats up it should blow this prison away." Cole told her, coming away from the machine.
Lana nodded and placed a hand on the machine, it began to shake and turn yellow. "It's gonna blow!" She told Cole, grabbing him as the machine blew.
Relief! As they had got out of the prison dimension before it blew, and back to the familiar surroundings of Cole's penthouse. Would he look back on his time there and laugh? Or would he simply move on, try to forget the torment he went through and carrying on trying to fit in a human world? He didn't know, all he knew was he had come back and made a friend in the process.
"This is it, this is what I like to call home sweet home, the real world." Cole said with a smile, he had never been so relieved to get home. "You can sleep easy and not in fear, there won't be any patrols looking to kill you or lock you up, just human males admiring you."
Lana laughed and hugged Cole, "Thank you; I think I'm going to enjoy it here."
Just then, the elevator doors dinged. "More punishers." Lana whispered, getting ready with the energy bolt as Cole prepared a fireball.
"Not for long.." The doors drew back, and there stood. ".Phoebe?" Cole asked, looking both puzzled and shocked!

Cole said nothing, just smiled at Lana before they both began to walk in front of the guard. "Ow! My ankle!" Lana yelped, collapsing to the floor.
