Chapter 1: First Blood

With the flick of a hand, Piper was knocked half way across the attic. The other sisters watched in awe as their strongest was tossed aside like trash. The buff demon towered over them, his eyes staring and laughing.

"You humans are no match for me. Hell, I thought it was common knowledge." he barfed, seconds before throwing a punch at his targets. Phoebe, being the martial arts expert that she was, instinctly shoved her sister aside and dodged away. "Paige, watch out!" she warned as she pushed her firey red-headed sister away from harm.

The demon turned his head in surprise. "Hmm, maybe I was wrong."

Phoebe stepped back slowly as her enemy began to stalk her. He licked his lips in anticipation as he cracked his knuckles. Out of other options, Phoebe swiftly kicked the demon's side, an offense which surprised the monster and caused him to stumble back. He never suspected that she would seriously attack. After all, she was just a human. A magical human with powers, but human nonetheless.

Well, fun and games were over.

The demon, with shocking speed, charged at the witch and grabbed ahold of her entire head with just the palm of his hand. He snickered as he lifted her off the ground, to which Phoebe kicked and punched in retaliation. However, the sheer mass of the monster ensured that none of those hits would ever land. He was, without a doubt, just too big. "Come on, witch! Show me what else you can do before I rip your pretty little head off your body!"

"Hey! Rip THIS!"

Suddenly, the demon's shoulder exploded into pieces, literally dislocating his arm as a result. Phoebe dropped to the attic floor with a thud, an impact that she surely felt. "Oww!" she cried, before grabbing the wrist of the arm that still held her face and tossing it aside. "Ew.."

The monster turned away from Phoebe and to his back, where the other witches had stood. It was Piper, the witch that he had tossed around earlier, that had dared to attack him. "Stupid human! How DARE you hurt me!" he said, his pride obviously wounded.

"Yeah? Well, there's plenty more where that came from, buddy!"

With that, she quickly waved her hand in front of his other shoulder, and did a motion as if she was throwing something. This was the power of telekinesis explosion, and as such, the result was that whatever she had directed her hand to would blow up. This monster was no exception, and his other shoulder exploded in a mess of bones, flesh, and blood.

"AAaarrrrgggHHhh!!" he screamed as he dropped on one knee. Sweat poured from the palm of the humanoid demon. He glanced up at the three witches, who had now gathered and surrounded him. He refused to believe it. No... it can't be... but Benares-sama had warned him of how powerful the Charmed Ones were. And he was right.

The sisters kept their focus on the monster, at a loss of what to do. "Now what?" Phoebe asked, turning to her oldest sister for directions.

Piper knew what to do immediately, as it had become second nature to her. "Paige, Book of Shadows. Pheobe, potions. Go. I'll keep my eye on him." she instructed, pointing her hand at the monster. "One wrong move, and you're wallpaper."

Quickly, Paige ran to one side of the attic and flipped open an ancient, hard cover book. She began to flip the pages, hoping that she'll find an index on the demon they'd held captive. Phoebe ran down the stairs to the living room and into the kitchen where they had stored potions and such. She pulled open the fridge and examined the box of stored potions. Hmm.. which ones would be useful?

Back in the attic, Piper examined the monster before her. She had never seen anything like it, and she had seen more than enough things to write down her own demon encyclopedia by heart. All the demons and monsters that they had encountered before had a familiar sense of aura; a sense of power and belonging that marked them... or something like that. However, this guy had a whole completely different feel, and it was... frightening, she supposed.

But at the same time, thought-provoking. She was curious, and curiousity did kill the cat... but screw the cat.

"So, you gonna tell us where you came from?" she demanded, eyeing the demon intently. He remained silent and ignored her. "Well, it's not like we won't find out sooner or later. Paige, did you find anything?"

Paige didn't reply. She couldn't, really; her eyes were locked tightly onto a page from the book. They were widen in fear, the result of reading the contents within. Piper turned her head slightly to her sister, and saw her frightened expression. "Hmm. Apparently, you did. Paige, what does it say?"

At that point, she snapped out of it. She shook her head and cleared her throat. "Ahem. Uh.. Piper, according to the book, his name is D.D... and he's one of Benares' men." she said with a fearful tone, especially at the name of 'Benares'.

Piper turned her attention back to the demon. "Benares, huh? Sounds like an upper-level demon to me." she said in a mocking tone. "Not that we haven't vanquished our share of upper-level demons, of course."

D.D. flinched upon hearing the name of his master being ridiculed.. and by human beings, too. He emitted a low snarl...

"Uh, Piper, he's not an upper-level demon... at all." Paige corrected, still having that fearful expression on her face. "D.D. is an upper-level demon, but the book has Benares under an entirely different category."

Piper nodded, lost into her own thoughts. "But he *is* demonic, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"Then there's a way to vanquish him." Piper simply declared, and the topic was closed. The truth is, she had a right to be skeptical considering that the Charmed Ones had once vanquished the Source of all Evil not once, but twice. That's a hefty highlight to put on their resume, and one that they were all proud of. "Now, Paige, have you found a way to vanquish Mr. D.D. over here?"

"Yup, and it's --"

Right then, the attic door swing open and in came Phoebe with the box of potions in her arms. Piper and Paige turned their attention to her. "Okay, I've got the potions. Let's get to work." she announced. Piper smiled at her.

"Took ya long enough," she said, her smile growing into a smirk.

"What?" Phoebe smiled back. "I had to make sure."

Piper then turned back to Paige. "You were saying?"

Paige nodded. "As I was saying, they only way to vanquish D.D. is to turn him into stone. Book of Shadow says that he has a more powerful liquid form, and --"

"Wait, what? He has a liquid form??" Piper exclaimed. "Uh-uh, if he had a form like that, then he would've already --" she paused in mid-sentence as she was turning her head to check on D.D. "...ohh." What she saw more than disgusted her; the mascular mass of a body that the monster had seconds ago had now melted into a slimy, red ooze. It stained the floor as it oozed towards them. The only thing recognizable was his head, which had remained unchanged.

"Uh.. I'm not cleaning that up." Phoebe deadpanned as she saw D.D.'s new form.

"You won't have to. He's sphagetti sauce." Piper said as she used her teleknietic explosion at D.D. again. A part of his slimy ooze exploded, flying towards the nearby wall. However, D.D. didn't even flinch as his watery body almost immediately healed. "Err.. that didn't work. Why didn't it work?"

"Hahahahaha..." D.D. snickered as his form towered over the three witches like a tsunami wave about to strike. "Foolish humans! Did you really think that you'd have me at your mercy? I merely played possum to gather info on how you work! Now tell me where you hid the Grimoire!"

The three witches stepped back at a loss of what to do. Suddenly, it dawned on them -- the potions!

"Phoebe, did you get the stone potion?!" Piper demanded, searching into her sister's hand.

"Uh, yes, it's here.. somewhere." she replied, searching through the box. "Green. Look for green!"

"Found it!" Paige declared as she pulled out a tube with an evergreen colored liquid in it. She focused her attention on D.D. and threw the potion at him as hard as she could.

"WHAT?!" D.D. exclaimed as he tried to dodge. However, his new form gave him a total own disadvantage, and that being him too big to dodge. The green potion came into contact with his bloody-red liquid form, and it immediately turned bits and parts of him into hard, grey stone.

However, it wasn't enough... and the sisters noticed that quickly.

"Quick, we gotta throw more at him. He's too big for just one tube of potion." Piper instructed as she franatically searched the box. She found one, as did Phoebe. They both threw their potions at D.D.'s body, and the demon made an eye piercing scream as he was quickly turned to stone.

"Aaaarrrggghhhhhhhh... NO...!" he cried as the sisters watched. Before long, he was transformed into an interesting piece of artwork. The Charmed Ones took a sigh of relief as they realized that it was over.

Phoebe walked over to D.D. and examined him. "Hmm... you guys think that'd go nicely in the hall with the clock?"
