Chapter 13

Phoebe and Cole stared at the person in from of them.

"I'm back," she said.

"Oh my God," Phoebe replied. Then she walked over and flung her arms around her neck. "I've missed you so much Piper."

"Me too," Piper responded.

"It's good to have you back," Cole said when Phoebe and Piper broke apart.

"Thanks Cole," Piper replied.

The whole gang flew into the kitchen after hearing Phoebe scream.

"Oh my," Paige said when she saw the sight before her. She walked over to Piper and hugged her.

"Is that?" Wyatt began.

"I think that's mom," Melinda finished.

Piper looked at her children, tears appearing in her eyes. "I can't believe it."

"Me neither," Wyatt replied.

Melinda and Wyatt walked over to her and hugged their mother. Piper hugged them back.

"Piper," Leo said after Melinda, Wyatt, and Piper broke apart.

Piper went to her husband and kissed him. Then they hugged.

"I can't believe it," Patty said.

"Me neither mom," Piper said.

Everyone in the room was crying with joy then.

"I thought you would never come back," Paige said.

"I didn't think I was going to come back either," Piper said.

"Are you back for good?" Phoebe asked.

"I don't know. Probably just until Kavinan is gone," Piper replied.

"Speaking of which, we've found a way to beat them," Tori said.

"We have to get the amulet off Remisk, and get the Book of Darkness," Melinda said.

"How do we do that? Good can't touch the Book of Darkness," Phoebe responded.

"We have yet to figure that out," Blake replied.

Around midnight, things were still active in the Halliwell manor. With the excitement of Piper's return and all the war plans, no one could sleep.

"Ouch!" Tori's voice came from the kitchen.

"Tori? Are you okay?" Phoebe asked.

"Yeah! We're working on a plan!" Wyatt called back.

"You guys did a good job with them," Piper said.

"Yup," Paige replied.

The kids came into the living room then, Tori wearing oven mitts and holding a pair of salad tongs, and they were snapping at her.

"Um, Tori, sweetie, why are the salad tongs snapping?" Prue asked. She and Andy had returned from "Up There" a little while ago.

"That was part of our brilliant plan," Melinda responded.

"We cursed the salad tongs to be evil. That way, someone could hold them to get the Book of Darkness," Blake said.

"That is crazy, but it will work," Phoebe replied.

Before they could say anything, the room began to swirl again. And they found themselves on the battlefield.

"Did we bring the spells this time?" Paige asked.

"Time for what?" Piper asked.

"Time for the second battle mom," Melinda replied.

Kavinan, Remisk, Monisara, and the rest of the demons appeared in front of them.

"I say we go with the old ones first," Phoebe suggested.

"Works for me," Wyatt said, pulling the spell out of his pocket.

They all looked at the papers in their hands and began to say the spell:

"Evil comes and evil goes, Vanquished evil has returned creating clones. We vanquish thee through our space, Never to return to this place!"

All the demons the Halliwell's ever vanquished blew up into oblivion then.

"Shall we?" Tori asked, pointing towards the clones.

"Oh yeah," Wyatt replied.

They began to chant once more:

"These demons are no more than clones, They come from chairs, couches, and phones. Return them back to their normal state, Make them once more a lamp or a plate!"

The clones returned back to the inanimate objects they once were.

"You're alone Kavinan. And weaker. We'll be back for you," Phoebe said.

The whole gang orbed out then.
"Alright, his army is down. I say we move in tomorrow," Cole said the next morning.

"He'll be expecting us though," Paige replied.

"We need that book before Kavinan can build another army," Melinda responded.

"Where are the tongs?" Grams asked.

"Oh, I had to put them back in the drawer. They nearly snapped my hand off," Tori replied.

"Go get them," Blake replied.

Tori grabbed the tongs. Everyone grasped hands, and orbed to the Underworld.
