Paige stood quietly in her cage, trying to remember. Everything was fading from her mind. She could barely remember the faces of Piper and Phoebe. She knew she should remember the man the cloaked people had surrounded, but she just couldn't place him. She stared at the people, trying to understand. They were chanting, their arms raised. Silver stars seemed to be pulsing under the man's skin, trying to escape him. His face was white and shiny from the effort it took to keep the stars inside him. A strange man shimmered in, holding another guy with green skin. On his shoulder was a bird of prey. The hawk launched of his shoulder and flapped high in the air. The Strange man threw a ball of electricity at the back of one of the figures. She disintegrated in a ball of blue flame, screaming in surprise and Pain. It was like being hit with a heavy sledge hammer. Everything came back in a flash. Who she was. Why she was in the cage. Who her sisters were. She reared onto her hind legs and neighed loudly. She was very surprised that she could neigh. She had been mute since she had been a horse. Similar things were happening to the other animals. The snake next to her hissed, and flung itself against the bars of the cage. The bat flew around the cage, squeaking loudly. The strange man-who Paige now knew was Cole, muttered something to Phoebe, who was the sphinx. She ran to the cages and started using her claws to unlock them. Piper was harassing the sorcerers, slashing at their faces, with talons and screeching at them with the bird's loud voice. They threw bolts of blue fire at her, but she dodged them all, doing barrel rolls and pulling up sharply. A tiger and a scorpion the size of a diner plate that phoebe had released advanced towards John. He turned and threw three fire bolts at them. The scorpion was burned to ash in an instant. The tiger glowed violet before disappearing in a blaze. Cole threw three energy balls at them, but the smashed into an invisible shield. Clarissa threw a huge bolt of flame so blue it was nearly black at the cages, and more than half of them and their occupants were destroyed. Their last scream filled the chamber, reverberating loudly before fading. Paige shivered at the sound. Cole threw his strongest energy balls at the sorcerers, but those that didn't fade on contact bounced of, and left craters in the floor of the cavern. John turned and threw on just as Cole did. The two collided and released a shock wave that knocked them both to the ground. The leapt up and started throwing the power balls with all their might. The shock waves were contained by the shield John had placed over them, so no-one could interfere. Phoebe appeared next to Paige's cage, having just freed the bat next to her. It flew up and out of the cave, following most of the other animals that were smart enough not to stay and get fried. "Need a claw?" she asked with a grin as she stuffed on into the lock. She wiggled it around for a bit. The lock popped open and fell to the floor. Phoebe leapt out of the way as Paige barreled out, making the cage bang against the door of the bats cage. "You're welcome!" she heard Phoebe yell in a disgruntled way. Paige charged forward, passing a very annoyed Cole. "Cheaters." She heard him mutter. She assumed he was referring to the shield. Piper was ducking and weaving, trying to get to Leo, who lay unconscious on the ground. Yvonne raised a bolt of blue fire shaped like a lightning bolt. Paige crashed into the barrier and backed up, very dazed. Yvonne threw the bolt as hard as she could, her eyes glinting with triumph. Paige tried to scream a warning as it arrowed towards Piper. The bolt flashed along her back, setting her feathers ablaze. She gave a scream as she fell to the ground, body alight in a wash of indigo flames.
