113 months since Titan's defeat. Things have happened mostly like series, except Prue was with them. Phoebe and Jason are dating more often. Bucklands folded, and Prue took a job at Bay Mirror, being a photographer for the paper.
In the underworld, Seer recited a spell, and the baby went from Phoebe to the Seer. Paige and Phoebe recited a spell, and Piper appeared. The 3 recited the Power of 3 spell, and Seer exploded, and so do the other demons in the room. The 3 sisters, who were now free, orbed out.
At the manor, in Cole's bedroom, Cole woke up, huffing and puffing.
"Why did I have that dream? I changed history so it never happened." thought Cole.
In another dimension, a demon sat watched Cole and Phoebe wake up, and dress. He watched them go downstairs to meet Prue, Piper, and Paige.
"So, you changed history so I wouldn't exist. But you didn't know that I'm not affected in this timeline. Well, you're going to pay for what's happened to me." said demon.
This demon is really Benjamin Joseph Turner. The Son of Cole/Source and Phoebe, before Cole went back in time to change reality so he'd never be turned into the Source. He had been sent into this dimension, and had survived. The timeline changed didn't affect him. His powers are fireballs, electricity, empathy, flaming, premonitions, and levitation. He decided to destroy the Charmed Ones, his father, and everyone associated with them.
His attention is changed to an area in London. He watches as 3 witches recite a spell to summon the dead. An evil smile creeps across his lips.
"Now I can destroy the Charmed Ones, by taking those 3." said Ben.
In London, England, a group of witches were in their house. Chris, their whitelighter orbed in.
"You better be careful with that." said Chris.
The eldest, Sarah, had blue eyes, and blonde hair. She is tall, and has a slender figure. She's 23 years old. She is wearing an unzipped green jacket, a blue T-shirt, and blue jeans.
The middle child, Stephanie, has green eyes, and red hair. She is tall, and has a slender figure. She's 22 years old. She's wearing an unzipped blue jacket, a green T-shirt, and blue jeans.
The final child, Samantha, has blue eyes, and black hair. She is tall, and has a slender figure. She's 21 years old. She's wearing an unzipped orange jacket, a red T-shirt, and blue jeans. Everyone calls her Sam for short.
"You worry too much Chris." said Sarah.
Sarah, Stephanie, and Sam recited a spell to summon the dead. Instead a black portal emerges from nowhere.
"What's going on?" asked Stephanie.
"Grab onto me. Hurry!" yelled Chris.
The 3 sisters ran up to him. The black portal grows bigger, and pulled the 3 sisters in.
"NO!" yelled Chris.
A being emerges from the portal, surrounded by fire, and the portal closes.
"I needed 3 magical sacrifices to escape." said demon.
Tears streak down Chris's face. He wasn't even a real whitelighter, and he'd lost 3 charges to an unknown demon.
"You're next whitelighter." said demon.
Ben then looked at Chris, who was scared, and upset, but also saw the power within him, that was similar to his own.
"You're the son of a Charmed One. Aren't you?" said demon.
"What are you talking about?" asked Chris.
"I see. You're from the future. That's the only reason you could be aged so much, without being in another dimension like myself. I'm Ben Turner, your cousin. Son of the Source and a Charmed One." said demon.
"You're lying. Prue had kids with Andy. Piper had kids with Leo. Phoebe had 2 kids with Cole." said Chris.
"Cole is my father, and Phoebe is my mother." said demon.
"He's from an alternate reality." thought Chris.
"An alternate reality? Interesting." said Ben.
"You can read thoughts?" asked Chris.
Ben nodded, and laughed. Chris orbed out. The demon, furious, destroyed the house, and flamed out.
At the manor, Piper, Cole, Leo, Prue, Phoebe, and Andy had left for their jobs. In the living room, Paige is taking care of Wyatt, Samantha, and Melinda. Glen is taking care of Peter and Patty. Chris orbs in a flash of blue lights.
Chris?" asked Paige.
"Paige. My charges were trying to summon the dead. Instead they freed a demon from another dimension. And he killed all of them." said Chris.
Paige looked at Chris seeing the redness under his eyes.
"Chris, I'm sorry." said Paige.
Paige walked over to him, and hugs him, then motions for him to come and sit down with her. Glen had already put the 5 Halliwell kids into 2 playpens.
"I don't know who he is. I've never encountered him in the future." said Chris.
"Why didn't he kill you?" asked Paige.
"He said that he was Cole and Phoebe's son. He said Cole was the Source. But Cole went from Belthezar to human to Avatar. Right?" asked Chris.
"Not necessarily. A future version of Cole came into the past, teaching me everything I needed to know about my powers. Then he merged with our Cole, of the present, which was the past, then. What if the Future version of Cole had become the source at one point? Phoebe could have been evil and in love with him." said Paige.
"You're right. We need to call the others now." said Chris.
Glen picked up his cell phone, and called the Bay Mirror. Paige called P3. The 2 hanged up.
"Prue and Phoebe are on their way." said Glen, who hanged up.
"So is Piper." said Paige.
There is a knock on the door. They open it. Piper, Leo, Prue, Cole, and Phoebe enter, and join them.
"Leo. Take the kids up there, where it's safe." said Phoebe.
Leo nodded, and orbed out with the 6 Halliwell kids. Suddenly, Ben flamed in.
"Who are you?" asked Paige.
"This is an alternate reality. Excellent." said Ben.
"Alternate reality?" asked Paige.
"Yes. I'm not even born in this reality. Well, Auntie Paige. I'm going to make sure no one else gets born." said demon.
"Who-Who are you?" asked Paige.
"My name is Ben Turner. But I also call myself Belthezar, after my father." said Pete.
"No. You aren't from another reality. From another timeline." said Cole.
Cole remembered his life that the Future Cole had, before he had joined with the Past Cole.
"Then you are my dad." said Ben.
Cole nodded, and Ben smiled evilly.
"Now it will be more fun to kill you." said Ben.
Ben threw an energyball at them, flinging Glen into the stairs behind him. Paige ran over to him.
"LEO!" screamed Paige.
"Sorry, witch. He can't here you." said Ben, sending a bolt of electricity towards Paige.
Prue flings it back at Ben, who is flung into the wall behind him. Cole and Phoebe stand there, unable to move. If Peter was their son, could they really kill him? Piper reacted differently and raised her hands to blow him up, but it just threw him backwards.
"Crystals!" said Paige.
Crystals appeared in Paige's hand, and she used her telekinesis to orb them onto the floor in a circle, trapping Peter inside. Peter smashed against the wall, but couldn't get free.
"LEO! PLEASE!" screamed Paige.
Leo orbed in, and put his hand on Glen. But nothing happened.
"I'm sorry, Paige. He's gone." said Leo.
"No. You have to heal him." said Paige.
"The Elders won't let me. Because he's dead." said Leo.
Paige cried as she looked at Glen, as Leo closed his eyes. Prue, Piper, and Phoebe all began to feel sorry for her, but Cole walked over to them. He raised his hands and an orange beam of light flew from his hands and onto Glen.
"Cole? What are you doing?" asked Phoebe.
"Resurrecting the dead." said Cole.
A few minutes later, Glen sat up, breathing very heavily.
"GLEN!" screamed Paige, hugging him.
"What happened?" asked Glen.
"Ben killed you, but Cole resurrected you with his Avatar powers." said Paige.
"Thank you, Cole. I don't want to leave Paige just yet." said Glen.
"Your powers will come in handy for us, just in case Leo can't get here in time. But why didn't you heal him sooner?" asked Piper.
"I can only resurrect and heal dead people. But I can't heal living people." said Cole.
"He's right. But we've got to find out more information about Devil boy over there." said Piper.
"He's telling the truth. Phoebe removed my powers as Belthezar, making me human. The Source possessed me, and turned Phoebe evil. She became pregnant with our child, but the two of you were able to get her to join the good side, and you killed me. I came back as an Avatar, but it was too late. The Seer had stolen the baby from you, and put it in her. But the baby was too much for her, and she exploded with it." said Cole.
"Why didn't I?" asked Phoebe.
"Because you're a Charmed One. You were able to withstand the baby, while the Seer wasn't." said Leo.
"So what are we going to do now?" asked Piper.
"I can answer that for you." said a voice.
The group whirled around to see Alti standing next to the caged Ben.
"Who are you?" asked Phoebe.
"You don't know me. I'm hurt. My name is Alti, the next ruler of the entire world." said Alti.
"I've never heard of it before." said Piper.
"I have. She's one of Xena's enemies." said Leo.
"That's right. This time I'm here for someone more useful. You!" said Alti.
Cole throws a fireball at Alti, but she blocks it. She throws a blast of energy at Cole, Leo, and Glen, knocking the three men into the wall, and unconscious. Paige, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe gather together to fight her.
Alti smiles and throws a blast of electricity at them. Piper raises her hand to freeze it, but instead it blows up, hurling Piper and Phoebe into the china cabinet, which topples over them, knocking them out. Prue and Paige stand together, ready to fight.
"Ready to surrender?" asked Alti.
Prue flings Alti back with her telekinesis, and Alti is thrown against the fireplace. Alti smiles and removes a crystal from the circle, freeing Ben. Ben flames out, and reappears on the stairs. Ben throws a fireball at Glen, but Paige orbs it back at Ben. Ben ducks as the fireball hits the wall behind him. Ben runs quickly to the three men on the stairs, and pulls out a darklighter arrow, and an athame.
"If I can't kill Cole, I can at least make the rest of you suffer." said Ben.
Ben plunges an athame into Glen's heard, then shoots Leo with a darklighter arrow. Ben laughs evilly and shimmers out with Cole. Paige orbs over to Glen and Leo, while Prue tries to wake up Piper and Phoebe.
The door opens, startling everyone. Andy walks in, and drops the bag he's carrying. He runs over to Prue, and moves the china cabinet away, and tries to wake Piper and Phoebe.
"They're hurt, but they'll be okay." said Leo.
"But they won't be." said Prue.
Andy looks over and sees Paige crying over Glen and Leo. Alti smiles and strikes Andy. Prue throws him to the side, and is flung into the wall, and lands beside Prue, Piper, and Phoebe on the ground. Alti smiles, and walks over to the three sisters on the ground. Paige and Andy stand up to face her. A portal opens behind Alti, and she tosses the three sisters into it, and vanishes.
"NO!" screamed Paige.
Sam Matthews quickly orbed in. Andy removed the darklighter arrow and athame from Glen and Leo. Sam put his hands over, trying to heal them. Leo woke up, gasping for air, but Glen wouldn't wake up.
"I'm sorry, Paige. He's gone, and this time it's forever." said Sam, sadly.
Paige nodded, realizing that even if they got to Cole it would be too late. Glen as gone, and there was nothing she could do.
Underworld. Cole woke up, and broke away from the chains holding him easily. He walked out to see Ben smiling at him.
"It's too late. Paige's boyfriend is dead, and Alti's taken three of the sisters to the past to drain their powers. Your family is gone. I finally got the revenge I wanted. Enjoy your miserable life." said Ben.
Ben flamed out, and Cole silently cursed, before he vanished.
Back at the manor, Leo, Andy, and Paige called Darryl, who took Glen's body down to the morgue. Paige cried, as Andy held her.
"Paige, it's okay." said Andy.
"It's worse than you think. I'm pregnant with Glen's child. I didn't have the chance to tell him yet." said Paige.
"We didn't know." said Leo.
"I didn't tell anyone. Glen was the first I was going to tell. But then Ben and Alti showed up." said Paige.
"Where's Chris?" asked Leo, now confused.
"I think he went upstairs." said Paige, now realizing since Ben had appeared that Chris wasn't there.
Paige went upstairs and saw Chris sleeping on the attic sofa. Paige quickly orbed a blanket and pillow to her, and put the pillow under Chris's head, then put the blanket over him.
"Sleep well, Chris." said Paige.
Paige took the Book of Shadows from the podium, and turned the attic lights out, and quickly walked downstairs. Andy and Leo met her.
"He's sleeping on the attic sofa. He lost three charges to Ben. Ben came from another dimension and needed three sacrifices to escape." said Paige.
"I'm sorry. I gave him those charges so I could keep him away from you guys. I still don't trust him." said Leo.
"It seems I'm the only one that does." said Paige.
Paige and Leo began to fight, not noticing Chris had woken up and seen the fight.
"Why can't you trust him, Leo? He helped us defeat the Titans, and has done so much more to help keep us, and my nieces and nephews safe." said Paige.
"But he's hiding something from us." said Leo.
"So what? You've hidden things from us. I'm sure you probably haven't told us everything because the Elders forbid you from telling us some things. Am I right?" said Paige.
Leo nodded, realizing this wasn't getting them anywhere.
"We have to find out how to go into the past and save Piper and the others from Alti." said Leo.
"Leo, you take Andy up there with the kids where it's safe. Chris and I will go rescue them." said Paige.
Cole appeared, startling them.
"Not without me you're not." said Cole.
"Cole, are you okay?" asked Paige.
"Yes. What happened?" asked Cole.
"Leo's okay, but your son killed Glen." said Paige.
"Paige, I'm sorry." said Cole.
"Sorry! Because of you, Glen's dead, and you know what? I'm pregnant with his child. Now he's going to grow up with out a father." said Paige.
"Paige, I really am sorry." said Cole.
"Don't be. If you weren't Phoebe's husband, I'd vanquish you." said Paige.
Cole backed away, knowing she couldn't really hurt him, but didn't want to let her try.
"Cole, you stay here and keep the future safe. Chris and I are going into the past." said Paige.
Paige went upstairs, and saw Chris sitting on the sofa.
"You're awake." said Paige.
"I've been awake since you gave me the pillow and blanket." said Chris.
Paige blushed.
"I just didn't want you to freeze." said Paige.
Ben flamed in, startling them.
"Paige, your boyfriend's gone, now I'm going to take your nephew." said Ben.
"Nephew?" asked Paige, looking at Chris.
"Didn't he tell you. He's Piper and Leo's son." said Ben.
Paige was shocked at first but when she looked at Chris more closely, she saw that he did resemble Piper and Leo. Paige quickly knocked Ben into the wall. Paige and Chris orbed back downstairs, and Ben flamed out.
Downstairs, Leo had orbed out with Andy while Cole remained in the living room. Paige and Chris orbed in, followed by Ben flaming in. Cole quickly saw what was going to happen, and quickly threw a fireball at Ben, knocking him into the wall again.
"No one else is going to die because of me." said Cole.
Cole walked over to Ben.
"I wish I could take away your pain, your evilness. But you're not my son. You're the son of the Source, I realize that now. You're just plain evil." said Cole, who quickly killed Ben without a second thought.
"Cole, I…" said Paige.
"Paige, you were right. I should have made sure he couldn't come back. I was too careless. I can send you back, but you'll have to find a way to come back." said Cole.
Paige nodded, and Cole waved his arm. Paige and Chris vanished in a flash of white and black lights.
The story continued in New Beginnings Ch. 3 and 4. Divide and Conquer ch. 7 will be set right after those chapters.
