Evil Times Five

I do not own charmed

(I want to apologize, I just realized that I called Jack, Michael a couple times in the second chapter of A new purpose, A new Hero. That's a typo, Michael will possibly be another character later on., Sorry, The Source)

Chapter 2: Evil rears its head

"Cole how the hell are you here?" Piper asked, "Paige! You said he could never come back again, after he was killed in that alternate plane!"

"I guess I was wrong?" Paige said with a shrug.

"Paige., you can't afford to be wrong about that kind of thing, especially this, the kind of loophole that lets Phoebe's demonic ex-husband constantly return from the dead."

"Look ladies," Cole said, "Is there something you want? Cause you summoned me, I've been back for months and haven't felt the need to see you, so if you can hurry up, my associate Jack and I have business to attend to."

"Fine, all we want to know is why your doing what your doing, vanquishing the leaders of factions?" Phoebe asked with a sigh.

"Why?" Cole questioned, "Why else, Phoebe, I'm good, and I finally don't have to be good just so you'll love me, I'm doing good because its right, and its what I want to do, I'm doing it for redemption, so maybe one day, if the Elders, and the Big Guy see fit, I may be able to go to Heaven, as opposed to the opposite place. You just don't get, I don't need you anymore, I've found my purpose, I'm training your cousin for good, and hopefully after we do immeasurable good, he'll be able to take my place as Earth's only good demon, and I'll be able to retire!"

"Wait a minute Cole, did you say "cousin"," Piper asked?

"Yeah that's right actually," Jack said moving away from his leaning spot on the wall, walking to the argument he said, "Your great-grandmother is mine also, she had a child with a former Source of all evil, yielding my grandmother, my mother, and then my brother and I. So I am. your. second cousin who is part witch, part demon, oh and my mother's father was a warlock so I'm part warlock. Cool huh?

"Yeah welcome to the family," Paige said, with an incredibly confused look on her face.

"So I guess we'll deal with how much we hate you Cole later, right now I'm a little interested in learning more about Jack." Piper said trailing off.

"O'Brien, Jack O'Brien." Jack replied, "so what do you wanna know?"

"Well, besides what your powers are, what's you situation, are you an orphan or what, how did you meet Cole."

"Ok, the abridge version, I am definitely not an orphan. My family's great. Cole found me by sensing my powers, and offered to train me in the use of my powers to do good. Powers, well there are a lot of them." Jack said.

"Humor us," Phoebe said.

"Ok, here I go, Energy balls, Flickering, pyrokinesis, mind manipulation, cloning, shape shifting, conjuration, electricity generation, reconstitution, self healing, and fire throwing, those are my demonic powers. I have telekinesis, time freezing, and premonitions, and deflection. I can also assimilate any power from any one, and make it my own."

"Very interesting, don't know where you got the deflection from, but it doesn't matter." Piper said.

Suddenly Chris, who had been silent thus far spoke up saying,

"Girls, we don't have time for this."

"Who the hell are you," Cole asked, "You've been sitting over there with a little smirk on your face, who are you?"

Chris simply replied "Their whitelighter." Knowing that those words would be enough to rile Cole up.

"The hell you are! Leo's their whitelighter, and there's no way in Hell the Elders would hand the Power of Three over to some cocky rookie." Cole yelled.

"Cole," Phoebe said kindly, "He's telling the truth, Leo's an Elder, he was promoted, after he made us gods to defeat the Titans, believe me were not happy about it either."

Cole stopped, and stumble back, Leo, an Elder? Was it possible? Leo was always breaking Whitelighter rules, how could he be an Elder, not that he didn't deserve it. Leo was great, the closest thing Cole had had to a guy friend, and now he was gone, and Elder. All of these thoughts hit him like a tidal wave. He began to think about Piper. She didn't deserve that, it was wrong, after all they had gone through, they take her husband. Just then Cole noticed,
"Piper! You're not pregnant anymore!"

"How perceptive of you Cole," Piper said with a smirk.

"Well what was it? Boy or a Girl?"

"Cole, if you must know, and don't think that this means that we like you, it was a boy, we named him Wyatt Matthew Halliwell, after Leo and Paige."

"Oh Piper that's great, I'd give you a hug if I didn't think you'd try and kill me."

"Good choice Cole." ***

As Xavier shimmered onto the West Andes Mountains he felt a presence, only which could only be explained by,

"The Grimoire, I've found the Grimoire!"

"What did you say," Saurus asked?

"I've found the Grimoire, its somewhere in the West Andes Mountains, when I shimmered there I felt it's cold, beautiful, evil calling out to me, I haven't been able to pinpoint its exact location, but if you could divert the other Demons to these mountains, I'm confident that we'll have it in no time at all."

"Excellent Xavier, you shall be commended, but if you are wrong," Saurus gestured with his hand, causing Xavier to erupt into flames, "Remember there are worse things than death." With another gesture, the flames subsided, and Xavier shimmered out saying,

"I will not fail you." ***

Chaos erupted in Heaven, as the Elders frantically tried to determine how they would keep the Grimoire from being found. There only option was to fight, but the Charmed Ones would hardly be able to defeat hordes of demons at a time.

Just then Chris orbed in from the Manor.

"Leo, I have an idea. The Charmed Ones may not be able to stop the demons on their own, but we now have potential allies who are definitely powerful enough to help us stop them."

"What are you talking about, Chris," Leo asked.

"Cole Turner is alive, and he has a protégé who is as powerful, if not more powerful than he is."

"Fine, Chris, go tell them what needs to be done, and please hurry." ***

Revelations about Cole and his return, and the concept of him finding and training their young cousin in the art of witchcraft and demonology, has made the sisters far more open to his return than Cole could have ever expected.

"Look, girls, I have no intention on being in your lives if you don't want me to, I'm not interested in unrequited love, and frankly being vanquished is incredibly painful. If you don't want me around that's fine, Jack and I can make due on our own, if you do want us to help you with evil than that's."

Cole's sentence was cut short when Chris orbed in and said,

"Well isn't this reunion special, I don't care if you don't want to work together, the Elder's need a Charmed Ones/Demon team-up to fight hordes of demons searching the West Andes Mountains for the Grimoire."

"Well that nice, cause we were just going to welcome Cole back into our lives as a friend, emphasis on friend, but Cole we still do not trust you, its gonna take a while for the trust to return," Phoebe said.

"Fine," Cole replied smiling, "Lets get going, West Andes Mountains here we come."

Cole grabbed Phoebe and blurred out.

"Guess this means your riding with me," Jack said smirking, as he held Piper's arm and flickered out.

Paige, standing all by her lonesome said,

"Well this will be interesting." Then orbed out to the mountain range. ***

Five figures appeared on the West Andes Mountains, and looked on to see hundreds of demons digging, searching, and sensing for the Grimoire. At this sight, the battle began. Piper, Cole, and Jack, the three warriors with fire power, set off and began vanquishing demons, Jack released a barrage of energy balls taking down ten demons in a shot, Cole simply began to ignite his opponents, and watch as their ashes hit the floor, and Piper, Piper blew up part of the mountain range, causing an avalanche, wiping out dozens of demons who were far too stupid to shimmer out of the way.

Meanwhile, Paige began to divert energy balls projected at her, back to the demons throwing them. Jack conjured up two swords of Celtic design, he gave one to Phoebe, and the two cousins began to vanquish demons the old fashioned way, with hard, cold, steel. Just then Cole saw it, the Grimoire, Cole began to blur towards it, but he was tackled by five demons, who held him until their brother picked up the Grimoire and shimmered out. Their mission completed, the rest of the demons shimmered out, their numbers dwindle but despite their loss of comrades, they had finally regained the Grimoire.

"Dammit!" Piper yelled, "we could've had it"

"Piper, relax, were not done yet," Cole said, "lets go back to the Manor, and figure out what evil is up to, once we know their plan, we'll have a better idea of how to stop them." ***

"They are trying to do WHAT!," Leo yelled.

"I'm sorry to have to tell you this Elder Wyatt, but its true, I overheard the Gargoyles talking, and word is that the Higher Councils of Evil wanted the Grimoire back so that they could ressurect the Five Strongest Sources, and use them to destroy good, as we know it, starting with the Charmed Ones, and then us."

"I see, don't worry about it, we'll find a way through this," Leo said.

Chris orbed into Heaven having "heard" what was going on and asked,

"Do you want me to go and tell them?"

"No, Chris, I think I should do this one," Leo replied.

"Sir you do know that that is against all of the rules," Chris said.

"I understand the rules, but none of the other Elders are married to witches, and none of them have baby boys at home to worry about, I will tell the sister about this, and I will see my son and wife, is that a problem WHITELIGHTER?"

"No Leo, its not" Chris answered with a smirk.

Just then Leo orbed out. ***

"So, we don't have any information in the Book of Shadows about the Grimoire, and Cole you don't know enough about the spells within the Grimoire to determine what the demons are up to," Piper said.

"It doesn't matter what he knows, I know what the problem is," Leo said as he appeared in a myriad of blue orbs.

"Leo!" Piper yelled, as she ran to embrace her husband, the two shared a passionate kiss, when Jack said,

"For the love of God get a room."

The others laughed, "it's good to have them laughing" Leo thought, "they are going to be in for a lot of trouble when I tell them what is happening, it best that relax a little bit." As his thought ended, the small talk began.

"So Leo, how do you like being an Elder?" Cole asked.

"It's got it's perks, but I miss my family, Cole how do you like being immortal."

"It's got it's perks, but I miss the idea of eternal peace," Cole said mocking Leo.

As the talk continued, Jack leaned against the wall, it was incredibly difficult for him being here. He knew he was family, but he didn't know these people, he knew his own family, his mother, his father, and brother, but this was totally new to him. Ever since he has received his powers he had been worried about his family, being as powerful as he was he was going to attract the attention of demons and warlocks, who will either want to kill him and take his powers or force him to join them. The easiest may to get to him would be to threaten his family, but Jack didn't have the time to worry about this, there were bigger fish to fry, like the demons and the Grimoire. Jack stepped off of the wall and said,

"Look, I'm sorry to break up this little reunion, but if I'm not mistaken we've got a job to do, Leo you said you knew what the demons were up to?"

"Yeah I do, but who are you?" Leo asked.

"Wait a minute, aren't you an Elder, doesn't that mean you're supposed to know everything that's going on with your charges, not to mention you wife?" Jack retorted.

Leo, looking defeated, turned to the sisters and appealed,

"Who is he?"

"He's our cousin," Paige said.

"Our part demon, witch, and warlock cousin," Phoebe added.

"Oh, Cole's 'protégé' " Leo asked.

"Yes that would be my protégé, Jack O'Brien."

"Fine, nice to meet you Jack, what I'm about to tell you is shocking, and quite possibly one of the greatest evils you've ever fought," Leo stated.

"Come on Leo, it can't be any worse than the Source, whom we killed three separate times," Paige said with a glance at Cole.

Cole cringed at the thought of his possession, it wasn't his fault, but it still hurt to think about what he had been.

"That's just it, the demonic community wanted the Grimoire for the resurrection spells. They plan to revive the five most powerful Sources to have ever ruled the Underworld, the concept is mind boggling, but it will work, and the combined power of the five Sources will surely be enough to destroy you if your not prepared."

"So what do you suggest," Phoebe asked, "How do we prepare for this type of threat."

"The magic you hold within you at this time is not going to be enough to stop all five of them, you must train, if I am correct, you have approximately 3 days until it Evil will have everything they need to activate the spell. You must increase your powers, brew potions, and be ready to defeat this evil."

Jack smiled, he knew this was going to be dangerous but he was excited, it must have been his demonic self craving battle. He then spoke,

"Alright girls, Cole, I'll see you in three days, Cole you know where to find me," Jack flickered out.

"He's heading to the Wasteland, the train conditions there are spectacular, girls, tomorrow starts day one, right Leo?" Cole asked.

"Right"

"Girls use day one to brew your potions and find your spells, at dawn of day two, I'll be here to take you to train in the Wasteland, be ready," Cole said as he blurred away.

Now it was only Leo and the sisters, standing there thinking, looking for answers,

"So Leo, do you have to go now,?" Piper asked.

"I'm afraid so, but could I see Wyatt for a few minutes?"

"Sure lets go.".

As Leo and Piper left the attic Paige asked Phoebe,

"Do you think we can do this?"

"Oh come on Paige, of course we can," Phoebe said as she left the attic, now she only had to convince herself of that fact.

"Thanks Pheebs"

"No Problem! That's what sisters are for!" Phoebe yelled from the foot of the stairs.

Paige walked over to the Book, she was worried, she had no idea how she was going to deal with this, her and Phoebe didn't have "firepower" like Piper, Cole, and Jack. She began to flip through the Book, then she saw a spell that just might help,

"Hmm I wonder what this'll do," Paige said, as she orbed out to find the ingredients to a spell she had never actually seen in the book before.
