********************************
Chapter-5 What Demon?
"Well, his name is....Scier." Kara said tentatively. She breathed out the name as though it would bring death in front of them.
"Sci....Scier? He's the demon who's after the gate?" Cole stuttered, in complete shock. Of course he'd heard of Scier. He was one of the demons who were higher than any other demon, higher than the Source himself. The only reason why he didn't come down and kill everything in sight was because he was bound to one dimension and one dimension only. The dimension was one of the seven rings of hell itself.
"You know who this, Scier is Cole?" Phoebe asked, scared because a demon never made Cole this frightened, never made his eyes widen in terror. Seeing how Cole reacted, made Phoebe scared before she even knew who Scier was.
"Yes, I do. He's one of the most powerful demons in history. He just can't come to this dimension because there are too many barriers, and he was bound to one of the rings of hell." Cole explained. He turned to Kara and tried to show her his fear.
"Yes, Cole, you're right. The only thing now, is that he's built enough power to break his bond to the hell dimension. The good thing is that he still can't break into this one. But, he can break into the alternate ones, because they are only branches of this one." Kara informed them of what the situation was.
"Phoebe, you and your sisters, enjoy the privilege of living in the original universe. You know of the theory of how for every decision, there is an alternate universe that is created for every choice you didn't make?" Kara asked, turning to Phoebe.
"Yes, I vaguely remember someone mentioning that, why?" Phoebe questioned.
"Well, that theory is correct. Well, partially anyway. There were more AU's created when you, Cole, were given the gate because, well, there was only one to give out of all the realities." Kara explained.
"So? What does that have to do with the whole demon problem, with, what's his name? Scier." Paige asked, not quite getting it.
"Well you see, Scier has built enough strength to pass through a number of barriers to get to a certain number of realities. He still can't get to this one, thankfully, but since he can get into the others, he can alter them." Kara said.
"Wait, what? How can he alter them, and how would that effect us?" Leo asked, alarmed.
"Well you see Leo, the new realities are supposed to be almost identical to this one. The only difference would be that the other realities would only differ from this one, only at the point where Cole receives the gate." Kara explained. She knew that the Elders didn't really share much information, and they didn't know this information.
"Okay, anybody else confused?" Paige asked.
"Uh, over here." Phoebe said, raising her hand. Kara let out a sigh, a little frustrated. She then understood that they wouldn't exactly be able to understand the situation to the full extent that she does.
"Okay, in lament terms, Scier is changing the other realities where they shouldn't. Killing innocents that shouldn't die, saving ones that shouldn't, and convincing the Charmed Ones in the other realities to do things they shouldn't. Doing this will cause disruptions in countless areas, causing ripples through time and space. If everything isn't as it should be, the gate is disrupted. If it's damaged to an extent, then Scier will be able to release what's inside." Kara said, trying to make them understand.
"Oh, now I see." Paige said, nodding her head.
"Uh-oh, that isn't good." Cole commented.
"Well duh, Mr. Obvious." Piper snorted.
"So, what do we do about it?" Phoebe asked, looking to her daughter.
"Well, I have to teach you and Cole a new trick. Then tell you all I can about Scier, and what you should do when you meet him." Kara answered her mom.
"What are the chances we'll be able to save the world again?" Piper asked.
"Well, in truth, very slim. But, I trust the five of you. You've saved the world quite a number of times, and I think you can pull this off again." Kara said, smiling up at her mom and dad.
"So, let's get started. The world isn't going to wait for us while we sit here and talking." Cole said, rubbing his hands together.
"Uh-uh. You and Phoebe have to go to sleep and rest up. Oh, and I'd take leave of absence at your work places, this might take a while." Kara advised.
"What about me?" Piper asked, wondering if she should take time off too.
"Oh, no, you'll be here to take care of your work." Kara said.
"Um, Cole, I'll come with you to your work." Kara said, as she followed him walking to the hallway.
"What? Why?" Cole asked curiously after spinning around to face Kara.
"Well, I know how much time you take off, and I think having your daughter there could provide a substantial excuse. What better one than having to spend time with your daughter?" Kara suggested, as she smiled up at him.
"Why, you're very sly aren't you?" Cole commented in a teasing tone.
"Yup." Kara replied with a mischievous glint in her eye.
"So, you're going to stay with me again, eh?" Cole asked Kara, walking a few steps to talk to her, before blurring back to the penthouse.
"Yup." Kara answered again, shooting her dad a playful grin. Phoebe looked at the two as they disappeared to the penthouse their own ways. She hadn't seen Cole that happy in a long while. She really missed the Cole that smiled that really special smile that showed his emotions. She was really glad that Cole had Kara back and she was happy that she had Kara back too.
"Phoebe, you coming? We're going to the attic to look up Scier." Piper called. Phoebe had apparently been staring at the spot where Cole and Kara were last, and hadn't noticed her sisters that had moved past her and walking up the stairs.
"Huh? Oh, sorry, coming." Phoebe answered, snapping out of her reverie. She then quickly walked up the stairs to join her two sisters and Leo up in the attic.
At Cole's Penthouse:
Kara was sitting leisurely on one of the couches in the living room when Cole blurred in.
"So, what took you so long?" Kara asked, smiling up at Cole.
"You well know that you're faster than me Kara." Cole answered, struggling to keep a straight face at his daughter. He cracked a little and let a wry grin out. This made Kara smile even more, and soon, Cole and Kara were laughing outright. Cole let out a sigh, letting his laughter die down, and so did Kara.
"That was fun. I've missed you Kara." Cole said, sitting down next to Kara on the couch.
"I've missed you too, Cole, dad." Kara said, smiling at him, happy to be next to him again. They stared at each other in a comfortable silence, enjoying each other's company. Kara than inched closer to Cole and snuggled in Cole's side and Cole wrapped his arms around her, much like one time when she was with him the year before. Cole was amazed at how his arms fitted so perfectly around his daughter. It reminded him of how Phoebe fitted against him, and this gave him comfort.
Kara inhaled the scent of Cole deeply, enjoying his warmth, and arms around her. She'd missed this feeling over the past year, and so desperately wanted to be in his arms, but she wasn't allowed to. She now enjoyed his embrace to the fullest, and soon fell asleep in his arms. A few minutes later, Cole heard Kara's breathing that was the steady rhythm of sleep. He looked down into her face, and it confirmed his guess, and he gently swept her up and carried her to his bedroom. He laid her down onto the bed and pulled the covers over her. She turned onto her side and moaned at the loss of Cole's body heat and comforting embrace of his arms.
Cole smiled down at his daughter and got into the bed next to her. Kara was in that half-sleep, half-awake state, and didn't really know she was deposited into another place. All she really knew was that the warm fuzzy feeling was gone, and she wanted it back. She had let out a moan of complaint and felt a weight put onto the surface on which she was lying down on. She then squirmed until she was close to the heat source, and wrapped her arms around it. She felt the comfortable arms around her, and the warm breath, and she relaxed and slipped further into sleep. Unknown to them the demon, Scier, was keeping a close eye on the Guardian and his partners.
"Hmm, interesting. This Guardian has a daughter. Oh, and a high-level good guy to boot. This will be fun." Scier sneered, as he observed Cole and Kara drifting off to sleep.
"Be sure to get your rest. I'll be paying a visit to you tomorrow, and I want you to give your best shot at me. I haven't really had a challenge in over 2,000 years. I'll be seeing you." Scier said with such malice. He then grinned maliciously and laughed at what he had in store for them. His laugh could be heard for a 1-mile radius, and anyone who heard it, cringed in fear.
*****************************************
So? What did ya think of that one? Tell me, what do ya think of Scier? I just decided to make him like the main bad guy, and he'll be mostly responsible for the trouble that come across Phoebe and Cole. As always, read and review, will you?
