Charmed, The Legend of the 4

Chapter 2:The Legend of the 4

By P3Lover

In the Halliwell Manor the sisters and Cole were just going around the house doing nothing really important while they waited for Leo to return.

"He's been up there a long time you don't think its something serious. I mean it was only some warlocks and demons that were attacking us. And we vanquished them easily enough," Piper said.

"You know what its like up there time runs slower and anyway it always takes him a long time to come back." Phoebe said.

"Phoebe's right, and he might have run into some friends and got talking to them. You don't know what happens up there it might have happened," Cole said.

At that very moment Leo orbed into the room right in front of Piper so he could give her a kiss.

"And what kept you so long, mister?" Piper asked.

"Oh, well I ran into some old friends who I haven't talked to in a while, sorry I kept you waiting so long," Leo said.

"See, I told you it could have happened!" Cole said to Piper.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah aren't you brilliant. So anyway what did the elders say?" Piper asked Leo.

"They said they think that someone has been sending all the demons and warlocks to distract you because they're going to resurrect four really powerful demons known as the 4," Leo explained.

"When you say really powerful, how powerful do you mean?" Paige asked.

"The 4 are extremely powerful," Cole started, "each one of them is more powerful than the Source and together they are really powerful. It would be like if you had found Paige while Prue was still alive, they're that powerful."

"He's right, in fact I believe Cole tried to resurrect them himself while he was Belthazor," Leo said.

"I'm guilty there, I did try to bring them back but I wasn't powerful enough to do it. It takes a very powerful demon or warlock, mainly demons, to bring them back," Cole told them.

"So has this demon brought them to life yet or what?" Paige asked.

"As far as the Elders know the demon, his name is Alterrac, hasn't managed to get to them yet but he does know where they are. If he gets to them before we can stop him it'll take a lot to vanquish them again." Leo said.

"Well we'll have to get to them first! Where are they?" Phoebe said with determination.

"They're in a hidden tomb down there," Leo said and pointed down, "but only a very powerful witch or a very powerful demon can find them."

"Okay then this demon Alterrac must be powerful we'll have to have potions ready. And maybe some protection spells just in case," Phoebe said, "Piper you make some potions and me and Paige will work on some spells."

"Why do I have to help with the spells I'm not very good with spells, you know that. Maybe I should practice my powers," Paige said.

"Fine then practice orbing from place to place and your reaction time as well. Cole maybe you should go somewhere safe because if we fail to stop Alterrac from resurrecting the 4, they will probably come here first," Phoebe said.

"Phoebe, I know a lot about these demons I researched them for decades I can help. I know their weaknesses, their strengths and whether your powers will work on them or not. You will need my help on this," Cole said.

"Fine but if it gets too dangerous Leo will orb you out of there," Phoebe said.

"Okay then as long as I get to help," Cole said.

A couple of hours later everyone was ready to go and stop Alterrac from resurrecting the 4. They had potions, spells anything that might help them prevent the resurrection of the 4. They even had some things to use on the 4 if they were resurrected before they could stop Alterrac.

"Okay then if everybody is ready I'll orb us as near as I can to the entrance to their tomb but I can't sense it so it'll be up to you to find it. Cole will be able to help I'm sure," Leo said then orbed all of them down to the Underworld.

Seconds after they were standing in the hallway of Halliwell Manor they were instead standing in a long passageway in the Underworld.

"Okay then how close are we to the tomb?" Paige asked.

"I think it's up this way but it's been a long time since I've tried to resurrect them," Cole said pointing straight ahead of them.

They walked off in the direction Cole was pointing in. They walked and walked and walked it seemed like they had been walking for ages and just as they were about to give up Paige noticed something just ahead of them.

"Is that it up there? There's a strange red and black glow coming from it," Paige said.

"That's it all right and it appears that Alterrac hasn't gotten to it yet which means we'll be able to protect it," Cole said.

"Not so fast witches, you too Belthazor," a voice behind them said.

They turned around and standing right in front of them was the demon Alterrac.

"You're a little behind the times Alterrac, I'm no longer Belthazor I'm just a mortal now. You always were a little slow," Cole said.

"Don't insult me Belthazor at least I'm not hanging around with three witches and a whitelighter. At least I am not a mortal, that was rather careless of you to let your powers be stripped from you," Alterrac said.

"Three witches, You obviously don't know who these three witches are, Alterrac. They are the Charmed Ones and they've come her to stop you from resurrecting the 4," Cole said.

"You think I'm afraid of the Charmed ones, their powers won't even be that strong down here, you know that," Alterrac said laughing.

"You don't think we're afraid of some demon, do you? We vanquished every warlock and demon you sent after us," Paige said.

"Wow, I'm so scared you beat the demons I sent after you. Those demons weren't as strong as me. I doubt you've faced anyone as strong as me before," Alterrac said.

"Come on, you are a bit slow aren't you. We're the ones who vanquished the Source, in fact we did it twice," Piper said.

"What you are the ones who destroyed the Source?" Alterrac said astonished.

"Yes, we are. And we're going to do the same to you," Piper said.
