This story starts off right after the episode Centennial Charmed.

Thanks everybody who reviewed last chapter. You know how much I appreciate it. You guys are the reason I keep typing this story out.

Just always – I know some people don't like Buffy. Don't worry about it. Glad you gave the story a try though.

ReflectionsofReality – Good suggestions. Star Wars would be cool. I haven't seen D&D in a long time. I'll have to watch it again.

Svata2004 – I might.

KC-Piper-Fan – I wrote Paige like that because I was rewatching some episodes of Season five. And that girl didn't really really really really like Cole. She was all for killing him. I forgot how much she didn't like him. Phoebe apologized for now. Don't mean it will last long though. She's shady like that.

Goldstranger- I have a Smallville/Harry Potter that I'm working on. I might do it. That is freaky that your were watching Hackers at that moment. Although it does come on a lot.

Barb – You just got to read to find out.

Cassandra S. Fisher – Buffy and Angel was too much angst whenever they got together to me. Although they did have some good moments till Angel got all broody. Mutant X would be cool to write.

Charmedmaniac – I don't want to focus on romance.

RuByMoOn – I thought so too. ^_^

Caren – Don't worry about Cole. He will have someone.

Dreaming – I know the Ring wasn't that scary. It just creeped the hell out of me. All the thinking I had to do to figure out the plot messed with my mind. LOL.

Coles Guardian – I gave you a shout out at the bottom.

Chapter Eleven: You want an Apocalypse

By: Mage

A demon stumbled into a cave with a torch held in front, giving light to the darkness. Coming to a stop, he sat the torch down onto the ground. He looked at the wall in front of him reverently. Immediately he took a step back and bowed. He looked at the two figures sealed under layers of ice, which had become their tomb for the last three millennia.

He reached beside him and pulled out an ancient parchment. The demon wiped it off and unrolled it in front of him. He placed his hands above the print and began to chant in a loud resonating voice.

"Emergo dormio libertas caeles dicio.

Emergo dormio libertas caeles dicio!"

The icy tombs began to glow with an inner light. With a loud crash the ice trapping the figures cracked and exploded outwards. The blast sent the demon flying backwards. A man and a woman walked out of the tombs and surveyed the cave with a calculating look. They both wore outfits reminiscent Greek robes. They looked at each other in astonishment. Demetrius and Meta two of the three most feared beings in history were free again.

The demon stood up and looked at the two Titans in glee. "It worked! You're alive!"

Meta and Demetrius make no sound. They simply stare at him blankly.

"How long?" asked Demetrius.

"How long?" repeated the demon. "3,000 years, give or take a century."

"WHAT!" Meta yelled surprised.

The fire that lights the torch suddenly burned larger and brighter in response to her shock. Demetrius turned his cold gaze on the demon. "Who are you?"

The demon stepped forward. "Me? I'm the demon who spent decades trying to free you!" He smiles widely and starts sharing his plans with the Titans. "Now you're gonna return the favor. It wasn't easy, either. The world's forgotten about you. But I had a vision. I knew if I could somehow revive you, I could use your power to bring myself to glory and rule the underworld as I was always meant to!"

Demetrius lifted his hand lazily and sent a stream of electricity at the demon. The demon exploded, leaving behind nothing but a smoking scorch mark where he used to stand.

"Imbecile," Demetrius smirked.

Meta turned to Demetrius smiling like a schoolgirl. "Ohh! I love it when you smite so unexpectedly," she said sexily. He smiled teasingly and leaned down kissing her deeply.

They pulled apart smiling at one another. "We have to find Cronus and free him as well," said Demetrius.

Meta sighed unhappily. "Do we have to? You know he will be furious."

"I'm counting on it," replied Demetrius.

Cole snapped his eyes open and quickly sat up in his bed, his face drenched in sweat.

"Holy shit!" he breathed deeply.

His mind repeated the events of his dream in a never-ending loop. It was time. It seems finally after all the waiting and preparing the Titans have been freed. He looked at the clock that sat on his dresser. It was seven in the morning. Cole sat up and hurriedly got dressed. He had to warn the others. The dream wasn't warning of the future. It was a vision of the now, the present.

He raced into Liam's room and hurriedly grabbed some clothes from his dresser. He made enough noise to wake the dead. But Liam slept on as if nothing was wrong. Cole grabbed the clothes and picked up Liam, cradling his son in his arms. With a thought he faded from the room.

He appeared in the mansion's kitchen. Celeste was usually the first one up making breakfast for everyone else. She jumped back in fright seeing Cole just fade into the room. "Cole! How many times—" She cut off her sentence at the serious look on his face.

"Cole what going on?" she asked concerned.

He shifted the still sleeping Liam in his arms. His face was grave as he delivered the news of his dream. "The Titans have been freed."

"Oh God," she said suddenly out of breath. "I'll go and wake the others." She raced out the room.

Cole sat down heavily in an empty chair by the table. He looked down fondly at Liam, who was currently drooling, on his shoulder. He swept back the blond bangs that covered Liam's forehead. Cole tucked Liam's silver necklace of protection under his pajama top. He didn't care if these Titans were all powerful nothing was going to hurt he his little boy as long as he lived.

He didn't have too wait long before the others burst into the room. They sat down at the table all business. Cole looked around into everyone's eyes. Everyone's expression was a mix of fear, determination, anxiousness, and bravery.

"How long have we got?" asked Ken, once everyone was seated.

Cole shrugged. "I don't really know. I had a dream that they were free and I rushed right over as soon as I woke up."

Celeste looked at him. "How do you know your dream is real? You could have just had a little too much to drink last night."

"Are you trying to call me an alcoholic?" Cole asked through gritted teeth.

"If that's what you want to label yourself as," she said back breezily.

Cole glared at her. "My dream was sent from the Powers. I'm sure of it."

"The powers of the bottle you mean," Celeste quipped.

Cole pretended to think for a minute. "Here's a thought, how about you drink a tall glass of shut the hell up."

Celeste smiled brightly. "How about you make me," she said in false sweet voice. Cole bit back a growl that built up in his throat. Every time they got into an argument she would bring out the worst in him. He felt like a child arguing with her. For some reason he couldn't help it.

Not a second later Celeste turned to Ken. "I believe him Ken. He's telling the truth. And I get the feeling we don't have much time."

Everybody looked at her incredulously. Just a minute ago she didn't believe Cole one bit. Ken shook his head at her. "I thought you didn't believe him."

She smiled widely. "I just did that to get on his nerves," she confessed, causing Cole's jaw to drop in surprise. "Plus, if he wasn't telling the truth he wouldn't have got all riled up."

"Okay," Kyle said slowly. "Now that this week's episode of Dawson's Creek is over. Can we get down to business?"

Ken stood up. "Cole you can put Liam in the extra bed in Ryan's room. We'll be in the briefing room." Everyone got up and followed him out the door. Cole faded upstairs into Ryan's bedroom. Toys and clothes and other items lay strewn across the floor in chaos. Serenity tried all the time to clean the room to no avail. Cole padded softly to the twin bed that was positioned parallel to Ryan's own bed. He pulled back the blanket and tucked Liam in.

Liam chose that moment to open his eyes. "Daddy?" he asked sleepily.

Cole smiled down softly at his son. "Hey sunny. Go back to sleep, it's not time to wake up yet."

Liam nodded. "Okay. Love you."

"I love you too," said Cole, bending down and kissing Liam on the forehead.

Liam smiled and closed his eyes immediately slipping into dreamland. Cole looked down at Liam again one last time before he faded away.

He appeared in the briefing room. He took his place at the long wooden table. Ken sat at the head of the table his hands folded in front of him. "I expect the Titans to go after the Elders first. Then when they have them out of the way they'll come here for the Gate Sphere."

"We need to be ready," said Kyle.

Ken nodded. He stood up and went to the wall. He pressed his palm flat against the wall and touched a hidden switch that Cole had never seen before. Ken stepped back as the wall turned around, revealing a computer console and a large flat screen.

"You guys didn't tell me you had the Bat Computer," said Cole, grinning slightly.

Ken pressed a button and the screen came to life. Many different views of the grounds appeared on the screen in tiny separate windows. He pressed another button and more windows appeared. These covered a different part of the mansion interior.

Cole whistled lowly. "That's a lot of cameras."

Kyle smirked. "We know. Wait to you see the defense system this place has."

Ken pressed another button and the sound of low rumbling echoed through the house. Cole tensed up looking around. "What's that noise?" he asked.

"That will be the house sealing itself off," answered Ken.

"But can they just teleport directly into the house?" asked Cole.

"Nope," replied Celeste. "When the house was built it was built specifically to keep out the Titans if they ever rose to power. The most powerful witches of the time got together and placed wards all around the house to keep out the Titans. It recognizes their power signature, so there is no way for them to teleport in."

"But that won't stop them from breaking down the doors," said Serenity.

Ken turned to Cole. "How many were there in your dream?"

"Two. A man and woman. They seemed to be in a relationship," answered Cole, remembering the events clearly.

"That will be Demetrius and Meta," said Kyle.

The others nodded agreeing. Ken smiled a little. "We still have a lot of time left. They still have to find and free Cronus. So that will give us a couple of days I think."

Later in the day the normal weather that usually rarely goes above seventy-five degrees was at ninety. This was a direct result of the Titans being freed. No one knew the cause of the strange and unusual weather San Francisco was having. But it wasn't just San Francisco that was having the strange weather it was the whole world. Reports of startling heat waves poured in from many cities on the news.

While that was going on the witches were preparing. Each was making potions that could keep the Titans at bay for a few precious seconds. It was all they had besides their powers that could help to defend themselves with.

Liam and Ryan were upstairs playing. Ken assured him that special wards were placed around the room to make it extra safe. Nothing could get into their room and harm them. The adults were in the gym each honing their fighting skills.

Suddenly, the ground they stood on began to shake. "Earthquake!" yelled Serenity.

They grabbed onto to something and braced themselves. Soon the shaking stopped. No sooner than it stopped, Liam and Ryan came running into the room. Each boy ran into their father's arms.

Cole picked up Liam and looked at everyone his eyes troubled.

Ken held Ryan in his arms. He looked at the adults grimly. "That's the sign. Cronus has been released."

"Shit," Kyle swore.

Serenity punched him on the arm. "Children are present," she hissed.

"Owwww!" he cried in pain. He glared at her harshly. "That actually hurt."

"It was meant to," she said simply.

Time passed slowly that day. Everyone was constantly on the edge. They felt as if the Titans were going to jump out of the shadows. The next day Cole wondered how the Halliwell sisters were faring. They had to know the Titans were the great evil he warned them about by now. He decided he would go and check on them to see how they were handling the situation.

He faded into the manors main hall just as Piper, Phoebe, and Leo were walking down the stairs. "Cole!" they said in surprise.

He nodded in greeting. "I just came to see if you know about them yet." They all knew the them he was referring to.

Phoebe nodded. "We know all about the Titans. Paige just got turned into a statue by one of them."

Cole shook his head. "I'm surprised she isn't dead. She's lucky she got off so easily."

"That's the same thing Chris said," said Phoebe.

"Who's Chris?" questioned Cole.

Piper rolled her eyes. "It seems he's from the future. 20 years to be exact. All we know about him is he's a Whitelighter and he's very secretive. He's supposedly here to try and save the future."

Three golden glowing balls flew from the family room. They hovered in front of the them at eye level. Cole's eyes widened in shock recognizing the three Faeries.

"Sir Cole!" said Queen Lily. "We thought that you was we heard."

The balls glowed and expanded in size. They balls flared and the faeries appeared in human size. King Criton smiled and shook Cole's hand.

"It's good to see you again Sir Cole," he said warmly.

"Its good to see your highnesses too," replied Cole smiling. He looked to his left to see the sisters looking at them in disbelief.

"Sir Cole?" said Phoebe.

"Since when do Fairies get big?" pondered Piper.

Queen Lily graced them with a smile. "The Fae have always had the ability to change sizes."

"You know Cole?" asked Leo.

King Criton nodded. "Yes. Sir Cole the Brave is a knight of my kingdom. I knighted him myself."

The witches gasped at the sight that greeted them. Leparchauns, Nymphs, Fawns, Dwarves, Oracles, Elves, Faeries, and other magical creatures began appearing walking into the family room. A dwarf knocked over a vase by accident.

He looked up at the girls sheepishly. "We'll pay for that," he gestured to the vase. "As long as you can stop the world from ending."

"He doesn't want much does he?" Piper said dryly.

Cole sat down and watched as the girls and Leo ushered the 'guest' into the conservatory. It was kind of funny to watch. They closed the conservatory doors with a loud sigh.

"What the hell is going on around here!" Piper said frustrated.

A short Elf woman walked out of the dining room with an apron on and a broomstick in hand. "If you haven't noticed, the world's a mess out there. Something terrible's going on. Everyone senses it."

"The Titans," said Phobe.

"Must be," Leo said, his mind thinking over the troubling recent events.

"So you guys just came here figuring we would stop them?" asked Piper.

The Elf looked at her dumbly. "Well you are the Charmed Ones, aren't you?"

"She's got a point," said Cole.

The sound of Wyatt's crying drifted down from upstairs. The Elf looked at them accusingly. "Do you always leave the little one unattended?"

"No!" Phoebe and Piper shouted as one.

"Well, it just sounds like he needs to be changed. I'll take care of it," said the Elf.

She turned around but Piper stopped her from leaving the room. "You are not the nanny. We rejected you."

"No. I rejected you. But I suppose I could fill in, just for a bit." She turned towards the stairs and disappeared.

"Did she just hire herself?" asked Phoebe.

"Looks that way to me," said Cole, grinning at the humor of it all.

Piper turned to Leo. "You need to watch her."

Leo shook his head. "What about the Elders? I need to let them know the Titans are back and that there are responsible for the missing Whitelighters."

Oh no. Cole kept silent as he figured out why the Titans killed the Whitelighters. They needed their orbing power to go up there to get to the Elders. By the way the sisters were acting he could tell they hadn't figured that part out yet. He couldn't say anything. The Elders had to do this on their own.

"Can Chris tell them? He's a Whitelighter isn't he?" asked Phoebe.

Piper stepped forward a thoughtful expression on her face. "Wait a minute where is he?"

"Upstairs with Paige," answered Phoebe. Cole sat up realizing what Piper was getting at.

"And the book?" finished Leo, coming to the same conclusion. Piper turned to Leo. "All right, you to the elf."

Leo nodded and ran up the stairs. She turned to Phoebe. "Herd 'em into the basement or something." Phoebe went in the direction of the conservatory. Finally Piper turned to Cole. "Let's go see what future boy is up to."

Cole stood up cracking his knuckles. If he was right he had a while before the Titans went after the Elders. He followed Piper up the stairs to the attic. Sure enough, when they got there a tall dark haired young man about twenty years old was flipping through the Book of Shadows.

"What are you doing?" asked Piper.

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm trying to find a way to free Stone-Cold Paige over here," Chris said not even looking up from the pages.

"Step away," Piper said warningly.

"Please, like I haven't looked in this before? By the way, you should update your goblins entry. It'll come in handy some day."

Cole crossed his arms glaring the kid. "I think what Piper said was step the hell away from the Book of Shadows. Now!"

Chris slowly backed up from the book. "Who are you?"

Piper frowned confused. "I thought you were from the future. This is Cole Turner."

"I am from the future. But where I come from Cole was supposed to have been vanquished by you guys months ago."

Cole rolled his eyes. "I thought you were supposed to be a time traveler. You should know that there is no one set future. Time is not linear. It twists and turns all the time. With each change the future changes. That's why some people say the future is not set in stone."

Piper gasped softly. "Prue. That's why we saw her in the future. Because she hadn't died yet. That meant the future hadn't changed yet."

Cole nodded. "Precisely. You had a little girl in the future too. That's a good example that the future is always in flux."

Chris held up his hands defensively. "I didn't come here to start any kind of trouble. I only came to help you kill the Titans."

"Well, then, if that's true, why don't you tell me how to vanquish the Titans?" asked Piper.

"Except you can't vanquish them," said Chris resigned.

Piper shook her head. "You mean, not without the Power of Three?"

Chris stood up and leaned against the wall. "Maybe not even with that. The only way the Elders could stop them three thousand years ago was by infusing some mortals with a hell of a lot power. Way more than you guys have."

Cole snorted at that. "They were hell sure powerful enough to vanquish me three times."

Piper smiled a little at his joke. "So they can do it again," said Piper, referring to the Elders.

Chris sighed heavily. "Not after what happened last time. When the mortals trapped the Titans, the power went to their heads. They declared themselves gods and forced the world to worship them. The Elders swore they would never allow that to happen again."

Cole studied the boy quietly. Chris to the untrained eye seemed to be a well meaning young man. But Cole was older than most people. He knew when people were lying to him. Chris might have been able to win a MTV Movie Award for his performance. But he wouldn't win an Oscar. The boy was too damn evasive in all of his answers. Even he did come from the future, why would he be so shortcoming with all of his answers. Chris was lying all right. As soon as all of this was over he would get to the bottom of this mystery.

He tuned back into the conversation around him. Piper held up a hand and closed her eyes. "Hang on a second. I'm having a ninth grade flashback. You're talking about the Greek Gods Zeus, Athena, Aphrodite? They were mortals?"

Chris nodded. "Mythology left that part out. Not the only inaccuracy, by the way."

Cole leaned over to whisper in Piper's ear. "I'm going to head out now. I get the feeling that my friends will be needing my help soon."

"You call us if you need backup," advised Piper.

Cole smiled and then glared at Chris before fading away. He faded into the mansions briefing room. The four witches jumped as they saw him appear out of nowhere. Celeste smiled in relief when she saw him. "Cole your back."

He nodded taking his seat. "I have some news. The Titans have been going after Whitelighters stealing their orbing power."

They gasped and sat back absorbing the information. "That means they're up there right now," said Serenity softly.

Cole pointed to the screen. "What's that?"

Two men had appeared on the screen in one of the windows. The men had appeared in front of the main doors of the mansion. Cole swore as he recognized Demetrius from his dream. The other man must be Cronus he realized. Loud rumbling came from outside. The Titans were taking turns blasting the steel sheet that covered the front door that slid into place as when the mansions defensive system was activated.

"Is that them?" asked Kyle.

Serenity rolled her eyes. "Duh doofus. It sure aint Avon lady."

Ken cracked his knuckles walking toward the door. "Let's go see what they're selling."

"I sure hope they're not out of those chocolate mint cookies," said Kyle, trailing off when he realized they were staring at him. "What," he said indignant. "Ken can make a joke, but I can't. That is so typical."

They walked to the houses main door. Ken turned to Kyle. "If we don't die. I'll buy you so much cookies you're grandchildren will still be eating them for desert."

There was a loud boom. And the front doors of the house exploded. The witches crouched into fighting stances. Kyle reached into his pocket and pulled out a white bandanna. He quickly tied it around his head as the two Titans walked into the house. They surveyed the witches with small amusement.

"Do you really think you can stand against us!" laughed Cronus.

Kyle pointed his finger at them. "I wouldn't be laughing peroxide head. You and He-Man are about to be backslapped so hard you'll wake up in Never Neverland."

Demetruis raised his eyebrow smirking. "Oh really. Bring it on."
