"Oh my God!" said Piper who was in a state of shock. "Oh my God."

"Piper you gotta snap out of it!" yelled Paige, frantically clicking her fingers in front of her sister.

Chris had taken to pacing the floor.

"Piper, come on, we gotta save Trish and for the sweet love of God Chris will you please stop that you are going to wear a hole on the floor," said Phoebe, putting her hand to her forehead. "Not to mention you are making me dizzy."

"This is all my fault," said Chris, continuing to pace. "We should have done something, made a move to say the spell, threw him about the room or anything other than what we did. We just stood their talking to him!"

"Chris I don't know about you but I did not want to go up against that boy," said Paige. "Well not until we you know tricked him into the crystal cage or something just as cowardly."

"I might be able to take him," said Wyatt. "After all I know how he thinks, I probably would have a good idea of what he was going to do next."

"Did you foresee him kidnapping our little sister?" asked Chris.

"No."

"Then how about we drop that theory?"

"Chris this isn't like you, I really think you need to calm down," said Phoebe.

"Calm down!" said Chris, stopping in front of Phoebe. "He took Patricia Aunt Phoebe! How on earth am I meant to stay calm? Do you have any idea what it is like seeing him here after everything I have seen and felt? All I want to do is attempt to beat the crap out of him and orb the hell out of here like I did repeatedly in the other world. But I can't so don't you dare tell me to calm down cause you can't even imagine the things it's felt like I've been through so don't think you could."

"Piper?" asked Paige, continuing to focus on getting back her eldest sister.

"Oh my God!" said Piper.

"Yes honey we've been through that, now we need you to snap out of it ok?"

"Ok," said Piper. "Ok I'm back, I'm back."

"Good," said Paige. Now take some deep breaths, in and out, that's it try to stay calm."

"Stay calm?" asked Piper incredulously. "How the hell do you expect me to stay calm when . . ."

"Honey it's ok really no need, we've already had the rant from Chris," said Phoebe.

Chris began pacing again, glaring at Phoebe.

"Ok so where has he taken her?" Piper asked Chris and Wyatt.

"We can't sense her," said Wyatt quietly.

"Which means underworld," said Chris. "Now that you are back let's go."

He stopped halfway to the door when he realised no one was following. "Oh you've got to be kidding me."

"Chris we can't face him unprepared again," said Phoebe.

"We won't be unprepared we have the spell and the Power of Three which should be enough power to send him back!" said Chris.

"Yes but we haven't even made the necessary substations for the spell!" said Phoebe.

"Fine I can do that now, it'll take me like a minute," said Chris going over to the book and picking up a post it and pen to jot down the spell.

"I'm going to try and scry for her, you know in case he is just blocking your sensing somehow," said Paige, going over to the map and picking up the crystal. "Plus they have to surface eventually, right?"

7777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777

"Let go of me!" yelled Patricia as (OW) Wyatt held her arms behind her back and led her into a cave.

"Sorry, can't, I need you to bring them to me when I am ready," said (OW) Wyatt. "And don't bother trying to orb out of this place. Had the same spell put on it as I did the attic."

"My brothers are so going to kick your ass. Not to mention the fact you just pissed of the Charmed Ones," said Patricia as he tied her arms behind her back and put her in the corner.

"You're so naïve, you really think they are a threat to me?" said (OW) Wyatt arrogantly. "I killed one Charmed One and had the other killed as well. What makes you think I can't do it again?"

"How about the fact that you never had to deal with them at their full strength? You know when there were all three of them there?" said Patricia.

"Cause you know the whole thing about the Power of Three is that it's the three of them together that makes it so powerful," said Patricia patronisingly. "Hence why it's called the Power of Three, not two."

(OW) Wyatt laughed, "You really are like Chris, has anyone ever told you that?" he asked as he got out a cauldron and some vials and herbs.

Patricia rolled her eyes, "Only twice a day everyday since I could talk. What are you doing?" she asked, curious at what (OW) Wyatt was at.

(OW) Wyatt produced a Grimoire and opened it at the page he wanted before starting to put some ingredients into the cauldron. "Well as much as I'm sure I could take them I want to have assurance which means I need a strong ally," he said mixing and adding more ingredients.

"Look around you," said Patricia, trying to work her hands out of the ropes. "We're in the underworld, plenty of demons who I am sure will be more than willing to help someone as powerful as yourself."

"I know, I have already had the most powerful demons bow down to me here but they will not do. Every demon to come up against the Charmed Ones has died. I need someone on the inside," he said.

"You're going to turn one of them," said Patricia, figuring out what was going on and desperately trying to get free of the ropes. "That's what you're doing isn't it? A morality changing potion."

"You've been taught well Patricia," said (OW) Wyatt.

"Well I've learnt from the best," she said, simply.

"Well you are right it is a potion to change morality but I have also added a few extra things to strip them of any of those pesky emotions, well the restrictive ones such as guilt."

"But I know that sort of potion, you need the blood of the person you want it to affect," said Patricia.

"I know," said (OW) Wyatt, lifting an athame. "I've an endless supply of it," he said making a small cut on his right index finger, holding his hand over the cauldron and letting the blood drip into it. On the third drop, a loud noise went off and smoke rose out of the pot.

"Potion's done," said (OW) Wyatt.

"Oh joy," said Patricia sarcastically. She realised that the knots were done very tightly so she was going to have to take her chances and try and get out and warn the others with her hands tied behind her back. 'Shouldn't be too hard,' she thought to herself, 'After all I tell mom I can do things with my hands behind my back all the time!'

"The potion just needs cooling off," said (OW) Wyatt getting out the bottles to put it into.

Patricia jumped to her feet and squinted at (OW) Wyatt sending him flying across the room. She squinted again at the cauldron, causing it to topple over and for the potion to spill all over the ground. She made a run for the cave entrance and was almost there when (OW) Wyatt shimmered in, in front of her, blocking her way out.

"Tut, tut, Trish," said (OW) Wyatt with his arms folded as he began walking towards her, backing her back into a corner. She squinted again, sent him across the room again, and made another bid for the exit. Before she got there, (OW) Wyatt waved his hand and sent a huge boulder from across the room, blocking the exit. Patricia tried squinting at it frantically, trying to move it but it barely budged.

"Powers aren't quite strong enough there," said (OW) Wyatt picking himself up off the floor and dusting himself off. "They will be one day, but not today. Should have remembered to blindfold you on the off chance you had telekinesis that you could channel through your eyes," he said, putting her back into he corner facing this wall with his telekinesis.

"Have got to admit, you are definitely a fighter, so much like a certain brother we both have in common," he said looking at the spilt potion. "Never to worry, I have plenty more ingredients, I can easily whip up another batch."

"Whoopee!" said Patricia with fake enthusiasm.

(OW) Wyatt laughed. "You know I would really have loved it if you existed in my world, it's really quite strange that you don't, but that's not the point, you really are quite the amusing character."

"Wow with that glowing character reference from my evil big brother I could get a job anywhere!" muttered Patricia.

777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777

"I've got her!" said Paige, looking at the map to see where the crystal had landed. "They're at P3."

"Ok," said Chris. "Can we go this time?"

"Sure why not," said Piper, taking Chris' hand. "Let's orb out!"

When they got to P3, they saw Patricia tied to a chair and blindfolded with (OW) Wyatt standing beside her. "Now that's not very nice to drop in uninvited," he said throwing the potion at Wyatt before gesturing at them with his hand, and causing all of them except Chris to disappear in a shower of black orbs.

When they materialised the found themselves back in the manor attic.

"What the hell was that?" asked Phoebe.

"I know!" said Piper. "It's my club, I don't need an invite!"

"I don't think that's what she meant," whispered Paige to Piper who only glared at her.

"Wyatt, are you ok?" asked Piper, changing the subject.

"Yeah, why?" asked Wyatt.

"The evil Wyatt hit you with a potion," said Paige.

"He did?" asked Wyatt, screwing up his face trying to remember.

"Yeah," said Phoebe. "Just before he orbed us back here."

"Well I honestly don't feel any different," said Wyatt with a shrug.

"Are you sure?" asked Piper.

"Honestly mom, I'm fine," assured Wyatt. "It was probably just a distraction to take our minds of the fact that he now has both Chris and Patricia."

"Maybe," said Piper. "But it could be a potion that takes a while to have an effect."

"Maybe we should wait a few minutes before we go back," suggested Paige. "You know so we can make sure Wyatt really is all right and gather a few potions of our own."

"What about Chris?" said Piper. "We can't just leave him there without back up!"

"Mom, Chris'll be fine, he can take care of himself," said Wyatt. "I think its' best we all stay here for the moment."

"Ok," said Piper reluctantly. "I'll go get a rucksack and start filling it up with different potions," she said heading down the stairs.

"I hope you're right," said Phoebe to Wyatt, going after her sister.

"Me too," said Paige. "Or else Chris is sooooo going to haunt our asses and then I'll never catch up on my sleep!"

77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777

"Finally!" said (OW) Wyatt. "It's about time Chris! Honestly anyone would think you didn't care about your little sister."

"How dare you say that! You've never cared about anyone other than yourself in your entire life," said Chris, slowly edging towards Patricia.

"That hurts Chris," said (OW) Wyatt, putting hand over his heart.

"Did you care about me when you had our mother killed? Or when you killed aunt Phoebe mercilessly in front of me on the day of mom's funeral?" asked Chris, trying to keep him distracted as he subtly wiggled his fingers and the ropes holding Patricia to the chair loosened.

"What would you know about it?" demanded (OW) Wyatt.

"Well you see Wyatt, as witches, we are able to do these things called spells," said Chris patronisingly but (OW) Wyatt just laughed. "You always were resourceful Chris."

"Will you please stop telling me what I'm like!" said Chris. "I mean I know, hello, I am me after all!" he said as he finished undoing the last knot that was keeping Patricia bound to the chair.

"Don't even think about it," said (OW) Wyatt suddenly, using his telekinesis to push Patricia back on to the chair. "Well that was a stupid thing to say because you did think about it, that's how I knew what you were going to do. You seem to be the only one around here who hasn't taken some telepathy blocking potion."

"Ok," said Chris. "That's it, I'm so over this idle chit chat bit," he said, waving his arm and sending (OW) Wyatt across the bar in crashing into some tables and chairs. Patricia whipped of her blindfold and stood up, Chris grabbed Patricia's hand and orbed them behind the bar. They both crouched down as the energy balls began hitting the bar's surface.

"Where are the keys?" asked Chris.

"To what?"

"Mom keeps potions in this safe under the bar, you know just in case," Chris told his little sister as another energy ball crashed above them, getting more accurate as (OW) Wyatt seemed to be getting back on his feet and walking towards them.

"I don't know!" said Patricia looking around as another one hit above them.

"Ok, that's it, that is getting really annoying," said Patricia, waving an arm above the bar. Suddenly the noise stopped and both Chris and Patricia stood up and (OW) Wyatt plus an energy ball was frozen.

Chris looked at his sister. "What?" she asked. "I thought we could do with an extra bit of time."

"Good thinking," said Chris going round to the other side of the bar.

"Hurry, my freeze is so not going to hold someone like him for much longer," said Patricia, studying the frozen figure in front of her. "He's almost identical to our Wyatt," she observed. "If they were standing side by side I doubt I'd be able to tell the difference."

"Patricia, they're the same person, just from alternate universes," said Chris, rummaging through a cupboard. "Ah ha!" he exclaimed. "Found them," he said, swinging the keys on his finger.

Suddenly the freeze wore of and both (OW) Wyatt and the energy ball started moving again. Patricia gave out a little yelp and ducked just in time to avoid it hitting her. After waving his arm once more and sending (OW) Wyatt for a flying lesson, Chris got on his knees again and crawled back round to the safe where he unlocked it and found a stash of potions, all neatly organised and labelled.

"This couldn't be any other witch's stash but mom's," said Patricia.

"Ok," said Chris, "Start throwing potions, no vanquishing ones though, but then again why not, I doubt they'd kill him."

They stood up and began hitting (OW) Wyatt with a volley of potions. Chris and Patricia easily redirected the few energy balls he managed to throw their way.

All of the potions seemed to catch up with (OW) Wyatt at once as he abruptly stopped fighting and fell to the ground in a faint.

"Ok, we can get out of here safely now," said Patricia. "With the amount of god knows what we just hit him with he should be out for about a month."

"But knowing this particular Wyatt it'll probably keep him out of the fight for about twenty minutes," said Chris.

"Well what are we waiting for?" asked Patricia. "Let's say the spell!"

"It probably won't work, we don't have enough power to send him back," said Chris.

"Huh, speak for yourself," said Patricia, folding her arms.

"Trish you and I both know it's going to take the Power of Three to send this one back," said Chris, trying too appeal to her rational side, if she had one. He wasn't entirely sure if little sisters came with a built in rational side.

"Fine," said Patricia.

'Huh, what do ya know? Apparently they do,' thought Chris who was pleasantly surprised.

"So what are we going to do with him?" asked Patricia.

"We could go back to the manor for the crystals?" suggested Chris. "Then get mom, the aunts and Wyatt to all come here and we can send him back."

"Sounds good, lets go," said Patricia.

"Even if it didn't sound good to you, we would still be doing it missy," said Chris. "I am in charge here after all."

"Who says?" demanded Patricia.

"Me!" exclaimed Chris.

"Well that doesn't mean very much if you aren't in charge," retorted Patricia.

"Don't get stroppy with me Trish, you'll regret it," warned Chris in a playful way.

"Oh so Chris Halliwell wants to play, does he?" asked Patricia, just as playful as her big brother, stepping towards him in a challenging way.

"Not with you," said Chris. "Why don't you go back to the kiddies playground, and leave me to play with the grown-ups."

"Excuse me!" said Patricia clearly offended. "I have more active powers than you."

"Yes, but my powers are stronger," Chris, reminded her.

"Oh, get over yourself Halliwell," said Patricia, flicking back her hair.

"I will if you will," said Chris with a smirk on his face.

"Ok how about we both get over ourselves and get a move on cause if mom ever finds out we stopped in the middle of all of this to mess around . . ."

"We're going to wish we were demon dust," finished Chris.

"Exactly," said Patricia.

"Then what are we waiting for?" asked Chris.

"For you to stop yapping," said Patricia with a smile.

Chris just rolled his eyes. "Let's go," he said, orbing out as Patricia did the same.

The Charmed Ones and Wyatt were in the attic and Piper was running them through a checklist of the potions they had.

"Piper do you really think we are going to need these potions?" asked Paige.

"Nope," said Piper, swinging the potion filled bag over her shoulder. "But its' better to be over prepared than under prepared, especially when my children are involved. Besides potions mean there is less chance of us accidentally killing him you know in case I blow him up or something."

Paige and Phoebe looked at her.

"Accidentally," repeated Piper.

"Ok so are we ready to kick some evil Wyatt ass or what?" asked Paige.

Just then, three demons shimmered in behind them and grabbed their hands, keeping them behind their back.

"Wyatt help!" yelled Piper.

"Sorry mom, I just can't do that," said Wyatt turning round, taking out the athame that he had in his back pocket. He walked over to them as they uselessly struggled against the demons' tight grip.

"You know, when we were in the past, that Phoebe had a premonition while holding this athame, of the Wyatt from the other world stabbing her. Guess what Aunt Pheebs, you were wrong," he said giving them a cold smile.

He bent down to her and whispered into her ear, "It was me."

The cool and unemotional voice didn't have time to send shivers down Phoebe's spine as Wyatt stabbed her with the athame.

A/N: I'm really getting into these cliff-hangers!!! Ok folks, time to get the tissues at the really, Chapter 15 (i.e. the next one) is the last proper chapter in this story!
