THE CHARMED
Chapter 5: "VIDEO GAMES ARE ABD FOR YOUR BRAIN Pt. 2"
The Charmed Ones were now in level 6 to look for the next whistle to bring them to level 8.
"This is getting annoying. We can't use our powers and now I feel completely defenseless," Adam said.
"Don't remind me," Rachel agreed.
Out of the bushes came a koopa.
"Great another Koopa," Arielle said.
"Isn't this the 12th koopa we faced?" Adam asked.
"Nope." Rachel argued. "It is the 13th."
"Well who wants to kill this one?" Adam asked.
"I will," Arielle sighed.
She stepped in front of the koopa and burnt it with her fireflower.
The ongoing routine of picking fireflowers and killing koopas was getting boring. Finally they got to a small castle.
"That is where the next whistle should be," Adam announced. They entered and found out that their adventures were just beginning.
They entered the castle, illuminated by lit candlesticks when a skeleton in the shape of a turtle came out and attack. The fireflowers weren't working,
"Well this cant be good," Adam said fearfully.
The skeleton was holding a jagged knife.
"Okay this is a skeleton it cant be that hard to kill," Rachel said as the skeleton approached.
She charged it and kicked it but it blocked her.
"Oh shit," she cried out.
The skeleton took its knife and cut her face. Rachel fell back holding her cheek in pain.
Adam ran behind the skeleton as Arielle came up to it from the front. The skeleton went to stab at Arielle, but Adam roundhouse kicked the skeleton's head off. The skeleton bones fell and disappeared.
"Geez. These enemies are harder than you'd think," Rachel said still holding her cheek.
They ran to the door at the end of the room and entered. The room they were in was small, probably about 7 feet by 8 feet. Adam looked up and saw the key floating in mid air, 15 feet above him.
"JUST GREAT!" Adam said.
"Why don't we just climb on each other?" Arielle asked.
Adam laughed. "We could try!"
Arielle stood on Rachel's shoulders who stood on Adam's shoulders. Arielle jumped and grabbed the whistle, but the tower of siblings fell to the ground.
"Okay remind us never to do that again," Rachel said.
Rachel blew the whistle.
"Greaaat. Another tornado," Adam said.
The gust of wind swirled around them and soon they were in front of two pipes. One was labeled 7 and the other was labeled 8.
The group chose 8. When they reached level 8, the huge castle they saw astounded them. It was Bowser's Castle, their ticket out of the Mario World.
They entered the castle. It looked more like a huge cathedral.
"Right now we got to find Bowser," Adam said.
"And somehow kill him," Rachel added.
The group had already supplied themselves with plenty of fireflowers. They spent the next 25 minutes jumping over lava gaps and searching the castle. Out of nowhere came two skeletal turtles.
"Wonderful! I hate these things," Adam said. Since the fire flowers were useless on them, Arielle and Adam both kicked the turtles in the spine to break their bones.
"There has to be a catch somewhere," Rachel said. "We can see the main entrance door to Bowser's room, yet it only took us 30 minutes to get here."
Just then, the group heard a loud rumbling noise.
"Okay, what's that?" Adam said nervously.
Rachel looked up, shaking her head. "Did anyone notice the roof was closing in?"
Adam and Arielle also looked up. Stunned expressions took over their faces.
"Well that's not cool!" Arielle yelled.
"Now would be the time to run," Adam said.
The Charmed Ones ran to the door that led to Bowser. Rachel made it through with no problems. Arielle had to duck. Adam leaped in like a tiger and just made it through the door as the room was crushed behind them.
The room was pretty dark, the only thing lit were torches scattered across the new room they were in.
"Where do you suppose he is," Arielle said.
They crept in the room slowly when all of a sudden, out of nowhere; they heard a loud stomping sound.
The ground started to shake. They turned around and to their amazement, Bowser; the video game boss they always played against was now a real problem.
"Welcome to your final game of your lifetime," Bowser said. Bowser was a large mix between a dragon and a turtle. He had a huge shell filled with deadly, sharp horns.
"Bring it on," Adam said back smirking.
The Charmed Ones each surrounded Bowser quickly and aimed the fireflowers on him. Bowser yelled as the burning sensation overcame him. He hid himself in his shell to protect the fire blast.
"Can't handle it eh Bowser?" Arielle said.
Bowser started spinning in his shell violently.
"Watch out for his shell!" Rachel yelled.
Bowser's shell flew towards Arielle and she went flying across the room. Bowser got out of his shell and violently stabbed Arielle with his sharp claws.
"ARIELLE!" Rachel cried out.
Arielle lay lifeless on the ground.
"Rachel we got to finish the game quickly so Christina can heal her," Adam said.
Him and Rachel cornered Bowser and fire streamed from the flowers. Instead of using one each, they both began to use more flowers at one time. Now, 8 fireflowers were streaming hot fire at Bowser.
"NOOOOOO!" Bowser yelled.
Adam and Rachel looked around. The castle lair they were in was looking more like their Manor living room. Within 10 seconds, they were out of the video game.
"Are we back?" Adam said.
"I think so," Rachel said.
"WELCOME BACK!" the Demon of Realism said sinisterly.
"Oh you again?" Adam said.
"Oh yes, and it seems your sister wont be waking up anything soon." Cynar said.
Adam looked at Arielle who still lay motionless on the ground. He turned to Cynar and flicked his hand as Cynar was tossed telekinetically against the coffee table.
"CHRISTIN....." Rachel tried to yell for her whitelighter but was cut off when Cynar blinked to her. He had his arm around her neck and in the other hand was a knife. He held it against her throat.
"One wrong move and the girl gets slashed," Cynar said to Adam.
"Then I guess I'll be making the right move," Adam yelled back. He telekinetically took the knife from Cynar and now the tables were turned. Adam, holding the knife by magic and not by his hands, threw his right hand up and the knife went straight into Cynar's head. Cynar dropped Rachel and screamed a treacherous scream. He blinked away.
Adam yelled for Christina.
"Hey are you three okay?" Christina asked.
"Us two are, Arielle is hurt," Rachel said.
Christina turned to Arielle's lifeless body. "Oh my," she said.
"She can't be dead." Adam said nervously.
Christina held her hands over Arielle and yellow light streamed into her body. "She has multiple stab wounds. It will be hard to revive her," she said slowly.
"I...can't....heal...her," Christina looked towards Adam and Rachel with sympathy.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T HEAL HER!"? Adam turned to Christina with a worried expression.
"She's been too weak for too long. She has too many stab wounds to heal and she got hit pretty hard," Rachel turned to Adam with a scared look.
"I'm so sorry," Christina turned to them.
The Charmed Ones were now defeated as Arielle lay motionless on the couch.
"This can't be happening. Arielle can't be dead," Rachel paced.
"There has to be a way to save her" Adam said.
Adam, Rachel, and Christina made their way to the attic to see if anything was in the Book of Shadows.
"Here is a spell to summon a spirit," Adam said. "Maybe we can speak to Arielle?"
"Try it," Rachel said.
Adam read the spell, "Spirit we love, who's gone to another plane, come to us now, so we may remain sane."
A woman appeared in front of them.
"Who are you?" Adam said.
"ADAM!!! RACHEL!!! IT IS SO NICE TO FINALLY MEET YOU" the cheerful woman said.
Adam and Rachel looked puzzled.
"I'm Grams!" she said.
Adam and Rachel still looked confused.
"I'm you great grandmother," she said.
"Ohhh! The Grams mom always talked about," Rachel said.
"YES! You two are so beautiful and handsome," she raved on and on.
"Okay Grams I hate to cut the reunion short but our sister is dead and.." Adam was cutoff by Grams.
"Yes Yes I know. I see everything that goes on around here," she said.
"Great well how do we save her?" Rachel asked.
"Well in most circumstances, you would not save her," she said.
"But........" Adam continued.
"But when your mother died, there was another one to complete the Charmed Ones. The only other one who can do that here...well there is no one," she said.
"Wait our mother was dead?" Adam asked.
"Oh. I am so silly. Of course you don't know. Your mother died. Then Piper and Phoebe found Paige. Later on in the years, your mother was resurrected," she said.
"Well how do we resurrect Arielle," Rachel said impatiently. There was so much information to digest at one time.
"That you will have to solve on your own," Grams replied.
"Yeah yeah yeah like usual," Adam said. He blew out the castles in rage and Grams disappeared.
"You could have let her say goodbye," Rachel said.
"Well I am not really in the mood to have a family reunion right now. We need to do something quick. The only way to save her is to go back in time to find out how mom was resurrected," Adam said.
They found a spell in the Book of Shadows that read, "TO SAVE A FALLEN CHARM."
"That must be it," Adam said.
Rachel read off the spell, "Crisis has arisen, paranoia in sight, send us back to in time, before the ghostly night."

"No way! Not happening!" Rachel said. "It is way to risky!!!"
"It is the only way to save her." Adam yelled back.
"Well I don't feel like dying in the Underworld. There has to be another way!" Rachel argued.
