THE CHARMED

Chapter 7: "When Good Witches Go Demon"

Arielle, Adam, Rachel, and Christina were sitting together in the living room, laughing at the week's past events.

"Imagine that! A whole family killed in 2 hours, and revived. That has to be a world record," Arielle announced.

"Let us not break that record again," Adam added.

"Well, I hate to break up the excitement, but I am really starting to miss our parents. Sure this whole 'on our own' thing has been fun, but we really need to save them and kill the TRYO," Rachel butted in.

"Well you should be able to fight the TRYO....within the next year," Christina said.

"EXCUSE ME!?" Adam asked, surprised with Christina's statement..

"Well you can rescue your parents within 2 weeks if you liked! However, your powers aren't strong enough for the TRYO," Christina added in.

"Yeah she's right. I mean all we have is one offensive power, and two defensive powers," Arielle agreed.

"Well then let us hope our next powers come soon!" Rachel said joyfully.

Simultaneously, a demon shimmed in the Manor. He took a dagger and threw it Adam. Adam used telekinesis to reflect the knife, which landed in the wall.

"Oh gosh. What are we going to do!" Rachel said holding out her palms. As she held out her palms, a ball of green electricity formed in her right hand. "Woah!" she said. She turned toward the demon and flung the electric ball at him. Electricity encircled the demon and he was flown back against the wall. "Nice new power," she said joyfully.

The electric wore off and the demon was back on his feet. Arielle began to feel a terrible feeling her stomach. She opened up her fist to hold her stomach when she noticed a that her hand began to feel very warm.

"What the hell is this?" she said out loud. It hit her. She put her palm to her mouth and blew on her palm to cool down her hand. Instead a cloud of orange, hot gas expelled at the demon. The demon screamed in agony, holding his burning eyes.

"Finally an attack power!" Arielle said with jubilee.

"Great. What the heck is my new power," Adam said holding out his hands with an aggravated expression. Just then, the demon blew up.

"Uh, Christina?" Adam looked to her.

"Gosh I have some explaining to do. Listen up! You all learned that your new powers come at odd times when you are first learning to control them. Instead of them coming out during anger, they came during a panic situation. Rachel, you hold the power of the electric sphere. It is a green, spherical ball of electric that sends electrical impulses through a demon's body. It is very painful and paralyzing for a few seconds. It is a great way to weaken a demon. Arielle, you hold the new power of the Mace Whisper. When you learn to control it, you summon it by rotating your fingers as if you were symbolizinng money. Then you blow hard on your palm it expels into a cloud of burning smoke. It damages the demon's sight, not to mention causes a painful burn on the face and sometimes body. Adam, your power is pretty lethal. By flashing your hands out in front of you, palms inward, you are able to basically blow a demon up! Your disintegrating the molecules of the demon/specie. It can kill the Minor Demons. Those are demons who have more than one type. For example, the demon that just showed up was a henchman. There are 1000 more henchmen! Therefore your power literally blew him up to his death. However upper level demons, like Coris, the shape shifting demon will not blow up. He comes from a distinct generation. You can blow up parts of his body, but you can't vanquish him with your power. To do that, you must put his ashes in a small bottle, with the potion, and bury it at a cemetery. In other words, only use it to vanquish minor demons and cause major damage to upper level demons. Sometimes it may not blow up the upper level demons, so it will just forcefully throw them back like telekinesis. Your power is particle manipulation," Christina explained.

"Wow, that is a lot to remember," Arielle said.

"Neat powers, but right now we can't control them," Adam said, " so we need to find a way to do that before we get excited."

IN THE UNDERWORLD

"Martel, I need you to cause the temper of one of the Charmed Ones to be terrible. If we turn the Charmed Ones against each other, one of them will become a demon, the one who does the most damage," Aqua of the TRYO told Martel, the Demon of Anger.

"As you wish, your highness," Martel said bowing. He shimmed to San Francisco.

BACK IN SAN FRANCISCO

The Charmed Ones had just finished dinner.

"So Adam gets to blow things up, Arielle burns eyes, and I electrocute. These powers are times better than our first ones!" Rachel said.

"And that is why we have to be careful. These powers can seriously harm others, so I do not want any accidents. That is, no blown up sisters," Adam said.

Just then, Martel shimmered into the Manor.

"Oh gosh not another demon!" Rachel said.

Martel flung a red ball and hit Rachel. Adam telekinetically threw Martel, and he banged his head against the side of a table. Martel got up looking dazed and Rachel looked very angry, This anger caused her new power to be summoned. Rachel turned to Martel, formed to electric sphere in her hand and threw it at him. Martel was being electrocuted. He stayed paralyzed, very weak, for quite some time. Adam flung his hands out, to try and perform his particle manipulation. It took him 5 times to get it work. On his 5th try, Martel blew up.

"Damn I hate these Demons!" Rachel said furiously. "Let us just go to the damn Book of Shadows, and find out who the hell he was!"

"Rachel, it's okay. The demon won't arise from his ashes right away, and if he does we will just blow him up again," Adam said to her.

By then she was already stomping up the stairs to go to the Book Of Shadows. They found Martel as the Demon of Anger, "Martel can force the deepest of anger into his enemies, causing them to eventually become a demon. Martel is an upper level demon, and can only be vanquished by reflecting his own power against him."

"Oh great! Rachel is going to become a demon!" Adam said out loud.

"Just shut up I am fine," Rachel said.

"Your obviously not," Arielle argued.

"You know, you two are really getting on my nerves. I can do this witch thing without you. All you do Adam is act like you are better than me. And Arielle plays little miss ditz to the handsome demons!" Rachel began to yell.

"That is because I just got my offensive power!" Arielle began to argue back.

"Ladies, calm down!" Adam said.

"SHUT UP!" they said to him simultaneously.

"Get out of my way," Rachel said trying to get out of the attic.

Adam and Arielle would not let her through.

"I SAID GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Rachel screamed. The electrical sphere glowed in her hand, and she flung it at Adam who went flying backwards and knocked his head into a bored. The electric was overtaking his body, and he was left unconscious. Rachel turned to Arielle and threw a sphere at her. The same results happened to Arielle. Rachel felt a tremendous amount of power.

"Eh, not bad!" she smiled sinisterly. She blinked her eyes, a predominantly demonic power, and vanished to the Underworld to greet the TRYO. Somehow she knew exactly where she was going.

The TRYO spoke to Rachel, telling her to kill her siblings.
"With them out of the way, you can rule the Underworld with us," said Zefyr.

Rachel blinked back to the Manor where Christina was just finishing healing Adam and Arielle.

Back in the Underworld, the TRYO decided to change their plans.

"It would be more resourceful to get all the Charmed ones on our demonic side to protect us," Aqua said.

Back in the Manor..
"Out of my way whitelighter," Rachel yelled.

"Rachel this is not you! You're a good witch!" Christine pleaded

Rachel froze her. "Gosh you are too talkative!" she said to Christina. "Now as for you two...how should I kill you? I could electrocute you a million times but that is too boring!"

Adam stood up and telekinetically flew Rachel across the room. Rachel's hand glowed and a fire ball arose from it! "Ahh yes! A Demonic power!" she said. She threw the fireball towards Adam but not in time for Adam to reflect it. Arielle stood up and rubbed her fingers together. She felt the warmth within her hand and blew a mace whisper at Rachel who fell backwards in screaming agony. Her eyes were burning terribly, therefore she shimmered out of the Manor.

"Damnit!," Adam yelled.

"Ugh this is so frustrating," Arielle said. "What the heck are we supposed to do...and poor Christina!"

Christina unfroze after being frozen for more than 30 minutes.

"Welcome back!" Adam said.

"I am guessing she left," Christina stated.

"Mmmhm!" Arielle replied.

"Well the bigger problem is that the Power of Three has no been split up. Rachel is half demon, and the Power of Three has become the Power of Two, which we all know isn't strong enough. We need her back," Christina said.

"Thanks for stating the obvious," Adam said rolling his eyes.

"Just trying to help!" Christina answered back.

"Okay now is now the time for you all to go angry on each other again," Arielle said. "My guess is we need to vanquish Martel and then the anger on Rachel will stop."

"Good, and Adam's reflection telekinetic powers will probably do the trick, so we may as well scribe for Mar.." Christina said, but was cutoff by a flash of red light that hit Adam to the ground.

Adam was hit by an anger ball of Martel's. He stood up and in rage and turned to Arielle.

"You know Arielle, you make me sick and your powers are pathetic. Damn straight I will blow up Martel!" he said.

"Excuse me?" Arielle said to him. "Why don't you just leave or blow up something to keep that temper down."

"Arielle that wasn't the smartest thing to say," Christina turned to Arielle. She was about to orb them out of the Manor but not before Adam attacked.

"I think I will blow up something up. He turned to Christina and used the particle manipulation attack. Christina blew up and her ashes layer on the ground.

"OH NO CHRISTINA!" she cried out.

Adam laughed and was about to blow up Arielle when the TRYO came in and told him to stop.

"Just wait Adam. Your time will come when you need to blow Arielle up. The only way to beat the Charmed Ones is to either make them all demons, or destroy every one of their generation that is left! I would rather take my chances on having her as a Demon, then dead," Strip said.

And with that, the TRYO and Adam shimmered away.

Arielle stood there hopeless and confused. She had no clue what to do.

It had been 30 minutes since Adam and Rachel had left. Christina was still in a pile of ashes as Arielle was reading the Book of Shadows. She was interrupted by a gentle voice. She turned around to see a girl about her age in the living room.

"Who are you?" Arielle said ready to attack the stranger.

"I am a whitelighter. Gabrielle's the name!" the girl said.

"That's great, but I already have a whitelighter!" Arielle said.

"Yes I believe she is over there in the pile of ashes," Gabrielle said wittingly. "You will need my help if you want your brother and sister back."

"Go ahead I'm all ears!" Arielle said.

"There are only 3 ways to go back in time. You can use the generations Cronus, the demon of time, you can travel by a time loop, or you can use the Gibraltar Staff. These 3 ways all involve the power of chrokenesis, going back in time. If you want to make everything right, you must find the Gibraltar Staff and hope for the best." Gabrielle said.

"What do you mean hope for the best?" Arielle asked.

"The Gibraltar Staff can only be used once. Ironically, no one has been able to lift the Gibraltar Staff. In order to use it, it must be lifted and then you say out loud the time you wish to go to. However, the Staff weighs 5 tons." Gabrielle smirked.

"And how do you expect me to lift that!" Arielle said furiously.

"Well the Staff will only let a special someone to be able to lift it as if it was 5 pounds. If anyone was good enough for the Staff, a Charmed one would do the trick!" Gabrielle answered.

"And how do I get to the Staff?" Arielle asked.

"Like this!" Gabrielle said. She grabbed Arielle's hand and they orbed out of the Manor.

When they reappeared Arielle screamed for her life. The two were on the very edge of a mountain: the tallest mountain in the world!

"Gabrielle!!!!" Arielle looked at her in rage.

"Calm down. On most cases, I would not be able to help you on your journeys, however now is a good time. Now quick whining and lets go," she said.

They walked toward a cave on top of the mountain and inside they found a staff. It was all black with no design what so ever.

"Go ahead and try to pick it up," Gabrielle said.

Arielle did so and soon she was holding the Staff in her hands.

"Success!" Gabrielle said joyfully. "Now go ahead and erase time and save your family. You will be in the body of your past self but with the memory you have now!" With that, Gabrielle orbed away.

Arielle held the Staff and yelled for 4 hours earlier. Within a few seconds, she was back in the Manor. Everyone was there and Adam was about to speak.

"Adam a demon is about to come! Don't blow him up, but send his power back at him,! Arielle yelled.

"And that is why we have to be careful. These powers can seriously harm others, so I do not want any accidents. That is, no blown up sisters," Adam said. He turned to Arielle and looked puzzled.

Martel shimmered in and threw his anger ball at Rachel, but Adam was quick enough to move the ball out of Rachel's way and use his telekinesis to direct it towards the demon. Martel winced in pain and fell to the ground. His body blew up.

"Oh my god Arielle, how did you know that?" Christina said.

Arielle told the group the story.

"That is a great story Arielle but there is no whitelighter named Gabrielle with the description you just gave me," Christina said.

"Of course there is . GABRIELLE!" Arielle summoned.

An older woman orbed in but she was not Arielle's Gabrielle. When asked, the older whitelighter agreed there was no Gabrielle by that name.

"That's odd. Maybe you heard her name wrong," Rachel said.

"I know I didnt!" Arielle said quickly.

"Well it is not important. The good thing is that we are all okay. Now I'm starving let's eat." Adam said

The group made their way to the kitchen. Arielle looked back one more time towards the living room.

"I know you are out there somewhere," Arielle said under her breath.

ON THE NEXT THE CHARMED: -The group panics as when Adam is spotted by his teacher using powers to hurt a student. The teacher winds up becoming a important asset to the Charmed group as a new demon posses the kid who Adam hurt. This demon would normally be easy to kill accept for the fact that he is just a shadow!

Adam turned to the locker and flung it open with telekinesis. The locker slapped Cory in the face who fell down in pain. Everything laughed at him. When Adam turned around his teacher was staring back at him.

"Come with me Adam, you have a lot of explaining to do," she said.
