Back to the Past
Chapter 9: Playing Hero
A/N: Ok this is definitely the last chapter going up before Sunday. It took a while because it is quite long and also I didn't know how to start it which annoyed me. So rather than working on it I typed up the first chapter of this other story I am working on as well as the first two chapters of this one's sequel! Isn't that stupid!
Anyway I might be able to check my email when I'm away cause one person who is going with us is bringing his laptop so I might be able to get another chapter typed up and posted but all I'm saying here is don't hold your breath.
Also good news, there has been an extra chapter added to this story. Now two chapters remaining plus the epilogue. The epilogue has pretty much no plot though it's just things settling down and me setting up one or two things for the sequel, nothing too exciting.
Well hope you enjoy this chapter cause it's all you are getting for two weeks!

Chris orbed down to the underworld, just outside the cave where the girls were being kept. Luckily for him, Dermairon hadn't had time to replace the demon guards so he was able to go into the cave unnoticed.
Chris started mentally preparing himself. 'Ok Halliwell, if there was ever a time to embrace your whitelighter-invisible side it is now, lives are at stake,' he told himself, rolling back his shoulders and stretching his neck.
Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and concentrated. When he opened them he raised his hand and looked at it, it was translucent again. "Oh come on," he muttered to himself before closing his eyes again.
"Yes!" he whispered when he opened them to find that he couldn't see his hand, or any other part of his body for that matter. As he crept quietly into the main cave, he could sense the Dermairon and Erech were in the adjoining cave.
He noticed that his mom and aunts were still chained to the wall and that they were talking quietly. He went over to them and whispered to them as quietly as he could. "Guys, it's me Chris."
"Chris, what the hell are you doing here? Is your brother with you?" asked Piper in a hushed voice.
As far as Chris could tell Dermairon and Erech were still far enough away for him to become visible again. "No, it's just me," he told them.
"What are you doing?" asked Phoebe. "Are you crazy?"
"Look, I don't have much time. I need to know how you guys 'vanquished' Dermairon last time so that we don't make the same mistake as you did."
"We used a power of three spell," said Paige.
"Ok, so there's my best idea gone flying out the window," said Chris with a frown. "I can't stay too long but are you guys ok?" he asked, concerned.
"More or less," said Piper, "We are keeping it together, apart from the one incident where I ended up unconscious but it was only for like an hour or two," she told her son dismissively.
"What?" asked Chris, his blood boiling and the anger seething through him. "I'll kill him."
"No you won't," said Piper sternly. "You will get out of here and go work out a plan that won't involve you getting yourself killed."
"You are right," said Chris, trying to restrain himself from beating Dermairon to bloody pulp for laying a hand on his mother. "I love you guys," he said hugging them.
"We love you too Chris," said Piper, hugging her youngest son as tightly as she physically could without cutting of his airway.
"We'll love you even more when you get us out of here though," Paige told him with a smile. Chris grinned at her from his place on the ground beside his mother. "Well we are working on it," said Chris.
"Chris there is something else you should know," began Piper. "The reason we were brought back here was to remove the main sources of good from our time, because they knew that you two would come after us," she told her son. "Apparently there is some big bad that wants to take over and the only way he could do that was with us out of the way."
"Do you know anything else about the big bad?" asked Chris.
"Only that they refer to him as well . . . Him" said Phoebe. "Like they are too afraid to speak his name or something or you know the more likely option that they just do want us to know who He is."
"Chris sweetie back me up here, Him were a rock band at the beginning of the century weren't they," said Paige.
"Yeah," said Chris. "From Finland, I think I have one of their cd's somewhere."
"See I told ya," said Paige to Piper. "I knew I remembered rocking out in some club another to them."
"Paige I wasn't contesting that there was in fact a rock band called Him just that they weren't very likely to be taking over our world and that. . ."
Piper stopped talking when Chris put his finger to his lips, motioning for her to be quiet. He closed his eyes and reached out with his mind to locate Dermairon and Erech.
"Shit!" muttered Chris as he realised that they were heading for the cave. As quickly as he could he became invisible, silently thanking the higher powers that it had worked straight away for once. Apparently he had not changed fast enough though.
"Did you see that?" Dermairon asked his brother.
"See what?" asked Erech.
"That! I could have sworn that I just saw one of those god damn half witches!" he said.
The sisters tried to act as normal as they could as Chris prayed that they wouldn't be able to hear his pounding heart that sounded almost deafening to him.
"I don't see him," said Erech looking around. "Nor did I hear a spell being uttered. He could not possibly have left. You must be imagining this brother."
"You must be right," said Dermairon, walking over to the Charmed Ones. "No retrieval party has showed up yet. Makes you think what they are doing. Perhaps they are running out of ideas hmm?"
The three women stared at him blankly, refusing to give him a reaction and hoping the fear would not show in their eyes. For little did Dermairon know that he was standing but a few inches away from an invisible Chris.

"Why isn't he back yet?" asked Wyatt, how had now taken to pacing the attic. Chris had left them over an hour ago and they had agreed it should take him twenty minutes at the most.
"I'm sure he's fine," said Phoebe, who didn't look as though she believed what she was saying, in fact worry was written all over her face.
"But what if he's not?" said Wyatt. "That's it, I'm going down there."
"No you are not," said Paige. "If Chris had been in any sort of trouble he would have called you."
"What are you mean Chris Perry 'independent super witch I don't need any help from anybody to vanquish a demon I can do it all by myself' Victor Halliwell?" asked Wyatt. "Sure you're right he definitely would have called," said Wyatt giving her a sarcastic look.
"Wyatt, as pig headed and confident Chris is, he still values his own life and he knows that he can't defeat Dermairon and Erech by himself," assured Phoebe.
"Besides he has every right to be as cocky as he is. He is a brilliant witch and an excellent demon fighter, he can handle himself. But he knows to use all the available resources so if he needed us he would call," insisted Paige.
"I hope you guys are right. For his sake and mom's," said Wyatt quietly. "She went down stairs to hold baby Chris like forty minutes ago and hasn't put him down since."
"Yeah, it's just her way of dealing with it, without blowing things up," explained Paige.
"God I hope he is ok. I really don't think she would be able to go on if she lost him again," said Phoebe.
"Then it is a good thing she won't because he is fine and will be back any moment with not a scrape on him, right Phoebe?" said Paige, glaring at her sister hoping that she would get the hint and drop that line of conversation.
"Yeah, yeah right," said Phoebe. "Sorry," she said to Wyatt.
"It's ok," said Wyatt. "I just wish I knew he was ok or even what was keeping him." Suddenly a large wooden trunk exploded as Wyatt gave out a groan of frustration.
"Sorry, sorry!" he said holding his hands up defensively. "I was just aggravated."
"And you decided to take it out on our stuff?" asked Paige, looking around at the numerous wood chips scattered about the attic floor. "Maybe you should go hold baby Chris too so we don't loose any more of our things," she joked.
"I know our powers being tied to our emotions really sucks cause Piper is one angry lady," said Phoebe.
"I'm just glad Chris can't blow things up," said Wyatt. "I doubt the manor would still be left standing."
777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
Chris sat as silently as he could beside his mother, fighting the urge to retract his outspread legs but he knew the noise of his jeans scraping along the ground would give him away.
He had slowed down his breathing so much that he was worried he could fall unconscious due to lack of oxygen to the brain. He was just praying his thumping heart wouldn't give him away to the demon, who was so close he could smell him.
"What were you talking about?" demanded Dermairon. "I thought I heard whispering."
"Wow first hallucinations and now you are hearing things, you should really have that checked out," remarked Paige.
Dermairon took another step closer to the Charmed Ones and Chris had to stop himself from gasping as Dermairon placed a foot between Chris' legs. 'As if it wasn't uncomfortable enough sitting on his rocky ground now I have to be wary to the demon that if he moves a centimetre will be standing on me,' he thought to himself, his mind racing to think of a way out of the situation. Unfortunately, he was coming up blank and could see no option other that waiting it out until they left again.
"Watch your tongue you insolent witch, that is if you want to see the next few hours," Erech said to her.
"Well since it would prevent me from having to look at your ugly face for that time, go ahead, bang my head of the wall. All it means is that my nephews are just going to have to kill you that little bit more," Paige informed him.
Chris bit his lip to stop himself from yelling out in pain as Dermairon stepped on his foot, getting closer to Paige to slap her. Chris was giving himself a headache as he fought his instincts to kick him across the room as he saw the red finger marks appear on his aunt's face.
Dermairon looked down at where he was standing and moved his foot about. "What am I standing on? There doesn't appear to be a rock there," he observed. Grinning evilly, Dermairon jumped forward and landed on Chris who couldn't help but let out a yell of pain, becoming visible again.
"You son of a bitch!" said Piper, tears forming in her eyes as she watched her son wither in pain on the ground, clutching his stomach. "I swear to god if you touch him again I'll . . ."
"You'll do what exactly?" asked Dermairon, walking around the figure on the floor in front of him. "You'll watch on helplessly?" he said as he kicked Chris in the head and once again in the side. "Well, well, well the half breed returns," remarked Dermairon. "I was wondering when you were going to show up so I could kill you again," he said a fireball forming in his hands.
"No!" yelled Piper.
"Shut up!" said Erech hitting her.
Chris crawled backwards from the two demons before standing up shakily and spitting out the blood that had gathered in his mouth. "You fucking bastard, pick on me if you want but how dare you hit my mother and my aunts."
"So young, so brave and oh so foolish," commented Dermairon. "Or have you forgotten that your powers don't work on me?" he asked, spinning the fireball in his hands.
"No," said Chris. "But I don't see how that is going to stop me from beating the living shit out of you," he said.
Dermairon and Erech both began laughing at the idea, a laughter which stopped as soon as Chris called for the fireball and threw it back at them. They both ducked and it flew over their heads.
"Hey!" exclaimed Paige. "That's my power!"
"Yeah, well I've been busy since I came to the past," said Chris, dodging another fireball and kicking Erech in the stomach and sending him flying across the room, using his telekinesis to strengthen the affect of the blow.
"Well, well, well it seems that you aren't immune to my powers," said Chris throwing him up against the wall with a flick of his wrists and knocking him unconscious.
"So now I guess it is just me and you," remarked Dermairon as they circled each other.
"Not for long," said Chris, his hands out in front of him ready for anything. He looked upwards and yelled, "Wyatt! Get the crystals ready."
"How are crystals going to help you now boy?" asked Dermairon, throwing two athame at him. Chris telekinetically swayed the path of them but not accurately enough as one of them stabbed him in the side.
He winced as he pulled it out, "More that you'd think," he said orbing in behind Erech's unconscious body and using it as a shield and holding the bloody athame to his throat.
Dermairon could do nothing but watch as Chris threatened to slit his brother's throat, pressing it against his skin when Dermairon looked as though he was about to take a step forward. He growled at the half witch as he began saying the spell.
"I am trapped down below,
Cornered by a demon with nowhere to go,
So take me above and take me back,
To where I was before the attack!"
"Til next time," said Chris, saluting Dermairon with the athame and holding on to his demonic brother with the other as they disappeared in bight white lights.
"Damn it!" yelled Dermairon.
"Now what did I tell ya?" asked Paige. "Ya see this is the problem with demons, they never listen."
77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
"What is it, is Chris back?" asked Piper as she entered the attic.
"Chris called for me to get out the crystals a few minutes ago," Wyatt informed her. "Don't know why though."
Paige was the first to break the silence that was now cast over the attic. "On the bright side we know he is still alive."
Just then, the familiar white lights appeared in the attic as Chris and Erech materialised in front of them. Chris barely had time to throw Erech into the circle of crystals before collapsing on the ground from blood loss.
"Barely," said Piper, instinctively running towards her son, frightened by his battered condition.
"Chris. Chris, can you hear me?" asked Wyatt, kneeling beside his brother as Piper turned him over so that he was on his back. When brushing the hair out of his face she realised that she had his blood on her hands. "Oh my God," she said in shock.
Wyatt lifted Chris' blood soaked shirt to reveal the large gash in his side. "Damn it Chris, why do you always have to play the hero?" he asked taking his brothers arm and putting it around his shoulders trying to make him stand up.
"Uh, a little help please?" he asked. Piper immediately did the same with Chris's other arm as Paige and Phoebe both lifted his legs and they carried him to the sofa.
Piper sat down on the ground beside the sofa, clinging to Chris' hand. "Leo! Get your elder ass down here this second or I swear to God . . ."
Piper didn't have time to finish her threat as her husband appeared in the attic. "Sorry honey, I just finished coffering with the elders about Erech. Oh my god Chris!" he said as he noticed his youngest son on the sofa, his side gushing with blood.
"Is he alright?" he asked going over to him.
"He would be if you stopped yapping and healed him!" said Wyatt.
Leo knelt down beside Chris and put his hands over the wound in his side, a yellow tinged glow appearing. Suddenly Chris' eyes flew open as he sat up straight and took a deep breath.
"Thank God you're ok," said Piper, flinging her arms around him. She leaned back and looked over him once more. "You are ok aren't you?"
"Yeah, I think so," said Chris, swinging round to sit on the sofa properly. "Thanks Dad," said Chris hesitantly.
"Not a problem. After all what are fathers for if not to prevent the premature death of their son?" said Leo. "I'm just glad you are ok," he said patting him on the shoulder.
"We all are," said Wyatt, with a smile of relief.
"Well that's quite enough near death experiences for one day at least," said Chris standing up and brushing himself up. "Besides we have bigger problems than me nearly dying," he said going over to where Erech was stirring.
"Excuse me?" asked Piper. "What is more important than your life?"
"The life of the Charmed Ones," said Chris. "And right now, they are in danger."
777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
"I can't believe the nerve of that smart ass know it all son of yours!" Dermairon yelled at Piper while hitting her across the face. He had been at this for a while now. He would rant about how much he hated Chris and Wyatt and when one of the Charmed Ones made any sort of comment, he hit them. Now they were bruised, sore and running out of quips and Dermairon wasn't any less angry.
"Orbing down here and sneaking in to try and get you out. Fighting me and then knocking my brother unconscious before kidnapping him!"
"You see it's not very nice when you are kidnapped and beat unconscious, is it now?" asked Piper in her best patronising tone.
"God you are almost as infuriating as those busy body sons of yours," Dermairon fumed. "Twice he has escaped me and ruined my plan, and that is only in this time! He took my brother who is key to the next stage of my plans and that just doesn't work for me."
"Meh, what's a demon to do?" asked Paige, a sunny smile on her face.
"Oh I don't know, I could always shimmer up there with a knife to one of your throats and refuse to let you go until I get my brother back. How does that sound?"
"Wow, that sounds like a good plan," said Phoebe nervously. "I hate it when they have a good plan," she told her sisters.
777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
"So what'd you find out about this guy?" asked Phoebe, gesturing to Erech who was beginning to wake up.
"Not much," said Leo. "We believe that he is almost as old as Dermairon but not as powerful."
"Yeah, he wasn't immune to my telekinesis," said Chris.
"Finally some good news!" said Paige.
"We think that he has been travelling through different planes of existence a lot recently, to one in particular but we can't locate it or determine which plane it is exactly. We do know however that time wise it is ahead of ours," said Leo.
"That's not a lot to go on," said Piper.
"Oh dear we will just have to do it the old fashioned way," said Chris with a sigh.
"Damn it, I sure do hate torturing demons, especially ones that have kidnapped my mother and aunts," said Wyatt, a large grin firmly in place.
"Yeah, that's always a bitch," said Chris.
"Yo, demon boy, wake up," said Paige, kicking him gently in the stomach trying to make him regain consciousness faster.
"Hey don't hold back, while I was there he hit you really hard," said Chris.
"That bastard!" said Paige, kicking him harder this time.
"I'm awake, I'm awake already," said Erech glaring at her.
"Whoops, my bad," said Paige innocently.
Erech stood up and put out his hand only to realise he was trapped in the crystal cage.
"Ok, let's cut to the chase here," said Piper. "What are you going to do with our future selves? What have you two been planning?"
"Why should I tell you? I will not betray my brother," he said defiantly.
"Let's see if he feels any differently after he's been shocked a couple of hundred time," said Wyatt, kneeling beside one of the crystals before removing it and putting it back again. A surge of blue light went through Erech as he cried out in pain.
"I won't tell you anything," insisted Erech through gritted teeth.
"This could take a while," Wyatt told the others. "Maybe you should all take the book and go downstairs and start working on a strategy." He turned to Erech. "You see because we Halliwells aren't as stupid as demons to reveal their plans in front of the enemy," he told them. "Seriously go," he said to his family when they didn't look like they were going to move. "Trust me I'm all over this whole torturing for information thing."
"Well if you insist," said Paige lifting the book from it's stand.
"Call if you need anything," said Piper.
"Sure thing mom," said Wyatt. "Now," he said turning back to the demon, once they had left. "Where was I? Oh yeah," he said moving the crystal again and shocking Erech once more.
7777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
"So they used a power of three spell?" asked Phoebe after Chris had told them about what he had found out from the sisters.
"Yeah, which means we have to start from the drawing board," said Chris with a sigh.
"This is ridiculous, I mean the power of three is the strongest thing we got, what else can we do?" asked Paige.
"Well I think we need to address the most obvious things," said Piper. "We need a spell or a potion to get our future selves out of the chains and see who the hell is trying to take over our world."
"Hey Dad, didn't you say that Erech had been travelling back and forth from one particular plane or world?" asked Chris.
"As far as we can tell yes," said Leo.
"Well maybe this so called big bad isn't from our world but from whatever plane or world Erech has being going to," said Chris.
"That would explain why we don't know of anyone powerful enough to have Dermairon working for them," said Leo.
"Maybe you should go check with the other elders and see if you can get anymore information on what plane it was," said Chris.
"Uh ok then," said Leo.
He was about to orb out when Paige stopped him. "Hey Leo I think this is cause enough for you to bring Phoebe to the Tribunal to get her active powers back, don't you?"
"Oh God yes please," said Phoebe, getting up eagerly. "I've done my time, honestly I have," she said making the others laugh.
"Well there's no harm in trying," said Leo, taking her hand and orbing out with her.
"Good thinking Paige," said Chris. "We could do with a premonition or two about now. Well I'm going to work on breaking the magically strengthened chains in the attic while you two try to figure out what's more powerful that the power of three. Call if you figure out anything," he said leaving with a pen and notebook in his hands.
How come you get the easy job?" Paige called after him. "Men!" she exclaimed when she got no answer.
7777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
Several hours later . . .
"You know what's funny?" said Wyatt. "I never tire of this, it's been three hours and all I've had is one quick coffee break, you on the other hand are lookin pretty worn out. So why don't you do yourself a favour and tell me who it is exactly that you are working for huh? How does that sound."
"Fine," said Erech.
"God it's about time," said Chris who was sprawled out on the sofa, perfecting his spell. "So spill."
"We want to keep the Halliwells out of the way to make room for Him to take over the world," he said.
"You're not telling us anything we don't know," said Wyatt, moving the crystal again. "So I advise you get to the good stuff pretty soon. Who is He?"
"He will be your downfall," came a familiar voice.
The two young Halliwells turned round to see Dermairon standing in the attic with his arm tightly around their mother.
"Let her go," warned Wyatt.
"Let my brother go," retaliated Dermairon.
"Her first," insisted Chris.
"Still alive I see," said Dermairon.
"Yeah, sorry to disappoint," said Chris. "Now hand over my mother if you want your brother back."
"Well you see that won't work for me because I don't actually intend on handing her over, maybe I should be more specific. You let my brother go and I don't kill her right now, instead she will be brought back to my lair alive."
"No deal," said Wyatt, an energy ball forming in his hands.
"Think very carefully before you do that," said Dermairon. "I can kill her before that leaves your hands."
"Just do it Wyatt, don't worry about me," said Ft. Piper, struggling against the demon's grip.
Just then, Pt. Piper and Pt. Paige entered the attic. "Hey I think we figured out how to . . ." Paige trailed off upon surveying the scene in front of her.
"Wyatt . . ." said Chris with a sigh.
"No Chris."
"What choice do we have here, we can still save her, we know they need her for something, they need her alive," he said. "Let them win this one," headed when his brother showed no signs of backing down.
Clenching his teeth, Wyatt muttered fine and threw the energy ball at the chest of drawers.
"There is hope for you yet," said Dermairon, seeing the rage pulse though Wyatt. "He would be so proud."
Chris went over to Erech and kicked away one of the crystals. He lifted the demon by his collar and threw him at Dermairon's feet. "Take him and go," he said.
"Thanks," said Dermairon, removing the athame slightly from Ft. Piper's neck.
Seeing the opportunity, Pt. Paige yelled "Athame" and it reappeared in her hand. Unfortunately, Dermairon shimmered out with Erech and Ft. Piper just in time for the athame to stick in the wall.
"Wow Paige, you sure taught that nasty wall a thing or too," said Piper.
"What? I was trying to help," she said defensively.
"I can't believe you let them go," said Wyatt to Chris.
"What choice did we really have?" asked Chris. "He wasn't going to tell us anything and we know they can't kill her, they need her for their plan somehow or else they wouldn't still be alive."
"Well we did figure out how to vanquish their sorry asses if that helps," said Paige.
"This better be good," said Wyatt sitting down on the sofa, trying to calm down.
"So spill, what's stronger than the power of three?" asked Chris, curious to see what they had come up with.
"How about, the Power of Six?" asked Piper.
7777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
"Right so we go down there, me and Wyatt distract Dermairon and Erech while you say the spell to break the chains and then use the potion and my spell to call their powers to that time then use a power of six spell to vanquish them?" asked Chris.
"Let's not forget the part where after we have done all of that we all have to go back to our time and deal with whatever demon is trying to take over," said Wyatt.
"Is it just me or did me and Wyatt get the really sucky end of this deal?" asked Chris.
"Well it should work if we get the spells and potions right," said Piper. "Besides it is all we got so let's get to work. I will go make the potion that accompanies the spell to break the chains. You got the ingredients there Chris?"
He handed over the notebook he had been working on to his mom. "Paige and Chris since you are our spell writers would you mind working on the power of six spell?"
"Sure thing," said Paige as Chris nodded.
"What am I supposed to do?" asked Wyatt.
"Well the power of six spell will probably need a potion as well but you won't be able to do that until the spell is finished so why don't you whip up a batch of the potion needed to give your Charmed Ones their powers back?"
"No problem," said Wyatt, going over to the book to look for the recipe.
Suddenly Phoebe and Leo orbed in and Phoebe ran over, grabbed Piper, and hugged her. "I can levitate and get premonitions!" she said happily. "Look!" she said as she stepped back, raised her arms and then floated a few feet into the air.
"Ooh, Good for you!" said Piper happy for her sister.
"So what'd I miss?" she asked.
"A lot," said Chris from the table.
"Well I have news," said Leo. "We have found out that Erech has not been travelling to a different plane, but a different universe."
"What do you mean?" asked Paige.
"As in it's a world that is the same as ours but with different circumstances. It has it's whole own timeline that is different than ours," said Leo.
"Well that doesn't sound good," said Piper.
"It isn't," said Leo. "We think that it run's parallel to our world though."
"What like the one my other self came from?" asked Chris. "I mean I have to keep coming back from one world to keep creating mine, right?" said Chris sharing what he had said to Piper with the rest of the family.
"What, you think it could be someone from other Chris' world?" Paige asked Leo.
"This wasn't here when I left," said Phoebe, pulling Dermairon's athame out of the attic wall, only to be dragged into a premonition.
"Phoebe, Phoebe what did you see?" asked Piper, running over to her sister., who was gasping for breath.
"We have a serious problem," she said, still recovering from the premonition. "The big bad is evil Wyatt from other Chris' world, and I just saw him kill our future selves that Dermairon have with this athame."
77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777

Sickle Sword: There ya go, hope you still have some of your nails intact.
Flephanie: Yeah, he is a little, that's what cockiness does to you,lol.
PiperHalliwell25: because Chris and Wyatt didn't want them to get hurt because then their Charmed Ones would be dead and Patricia wouldn't have a chance to be born. They are going down now, well prepared though. Thanks for reviewing!
