United Chapter 42!!

Halliwell Manor-Living Room
Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige orb in to find Leo, Cole, Brian, and Andy waiting for them.

"So, what happened?" asked Andy.

"A lot. We found out that there's a new evil ruler who calls herself The Queen and she's really Dr. Cummings," said Piper.

"Dr. Cummings? The one from The Magical Institution that helped me get better?" asked Cole, disbelievingly.

"Yup. Apparently, she was originally a demon but she got too powerful so The Source and The Elders brought her down from her power. She was forced to find a job so she took one helping people like Cole. But after Cole was saved she was able to escape and worked her way up to be incredibly powerful," explained Paige.

"There's something else, I know there is," said Brian, looking at the sisters.

"The Queen gave us an ultimatum, either we can save the kids or Glenn. Either Glenn or the kids can be turned good again. We have to choose," said Piper.

"Oh My God! What are you going to do?" asked Leo.

"We don't know," said Paige.

"And she turned Jason evil. He had come back to town, wanting to get back together with me but Glenn found him, brought him to the Queen, and she turned him evil. So now he's going to attack us until we make our decision," explained Phoebe. "Wait, so he's going to attack until you decide?" asked Andy.

Piper nods.

"Great," said Brian, sarcastically.

"So, what are you going to do now?" asked Leo.

"We're going to vanquish The Queen, that's what we're going to do. She said we didn't have long but that doesn't mean we only have a day. The way I see it, we stall for as long as possible," said Prue.

"Ok, Book Of Shadows, here we come," said Piper, as her sisters and herself head up to the attic, where The Book of Shadows is.

They go over to The Book and start flipping through the pages.

"Ah, here we go. The Queen," said Phoebe.

"The Queen is new to her power. She is very fierce, revered, and powerful. Nothing is known about who she really is or how she became evil. All that is known is that she's the most powerful evil creature that has ever existed," read Paige, aloud.

"Is there anything in there about a vanquishing potion or a spell?" asked Prue.

"Yeah, there are ingredients for a potion. Half of them, I've never even heard of," said Paige.

"It's ok. We'll get them. What about a spell?" asked Phoebe.

"Nope. No spell here. We'll just have to write one," said Paige.

"Ok, well we better get started. Cause' by the looks of things, we'll need a while," said Piper, looking over the potion ingredients.

"Ok, um, let me just write the ingredients down," said Paige, as she pulls out a piece of paper and a pen.

She writes them down, closes The Book, and they head downstairs to the kitchen.

"Ok, Piper and I will go get the ingredients that we don't have. Meanwhile, you and Prue stay here and work on the ingredients we do have," said Paige to Phoebe.

"Ok, good luck finding these ingredients," said Prue, as Piper and Paige leave.

"Let's get to work," said Phoebe, as she takes out the pot.

A half hour later, they have prepared and have started mixing the ingredients, which they have so far, together.

Underworld-Queen's Chambers
"Jason, it's time," said The Queen aka Dr. Cummings.

"Time to attack The Charmed Ones?" asked Jason, anxiously.

"Yes, make sure you use your new powers and fighting abilities. Don't disappoint me!" said The Queen.

"I won't," said Jason, as he flames out.

Halliwell Manor-Kitchen
Prue and Phoebe are making the potion, when Brian comes in.

"Guys, um, Leo and Andy went to go talk to The Elders and Cole and I are going to go down to The Underworld and see if we can finding anything out," said Brian.

"Ok, be careful," said Prue, as she kisses Brian.

Cole comes in and they shimmer away.

"Prue, can you pass the mandrake root?" asked Phoebe.

"Ok, yeah, sure," said Prue, as she hands it to Phoebe, who throws it into the pot.

"Well that's the last of the ingredients we have. Now, all we can do is wait for Piper and Paige with the rest of the ingredients," said Phoebe.

"Or we could fight," said Jason.

Prue and Phoebe turn around and see Jason.

"Surprised to see me?" asked Jason, cockily.

"What do you want?" asked Prue, angrily.

"To fight," said Jason.

Prue uses her power and throws him into the wall.

"I never liked you," said Prue, smirking.

"You're going to be sorry you did that," said Jason, releasing a large energy ball at the sisters.

All of a sudden the energy ball freezes.

Prue, Phoebe, and Jason turn to see Piper and Paige.

"I suggest you leave before we vanquish your sorry ass," said Piper, threateningly.

Prue sends the energy ball back at Jason with her power but he just steps out of the way, causing it to hit the wall.

"This isn't over. I'll be back," said Jason, as he shimmers away.

"Are you guys ok?" asked Paige.

"Yeah, we're fine. Did you get all the ingredients?" asked Prue.

"Almost all of them," said Paige.

"What do you mean almost all of them?" asked Phoebe.

"Well we went to 3 stores and were able to find all of the ingredients except for herasroot. So, then we went back to those 3 stores and to another 5 stores but no one had it. They said they've never even heard of it," explained Piper.

"So, what is this herasroot a rare mystical herb?" asked Prue.

"I don't know, maybe," said Piper.

"Paige, can you orb The Book down here so we can see if we can find anything on herasroot?" asked Phoebe.

"Yeah, um, Book of Shadows," called Paige, as The Book appears in her hands.

"Ok, um, herasroot," said Paige, as she flips through the pages.

"Here," said Phoebe.

"What does it say?" asked Piper.

"Herasroot is the rarest mystical herb that has ever existed. It was around in the 1600's, around Melinda Warren's time, but hasn't existed to mortals since 1693. The only place herasroot is found is in The Cave of Destruction, which is located in The Desert of Lost Souls," read Phoebe, aloud.

"Wait, so we have to go to this Desert of Lost Souls to get to The Cave of Destruction to get herasroot?" asked Paige.

"It seems so," said Phoebe.

"Is there anything in there on this Desert and Cave?" asked Piper.

"Um, let me see," said Phoebe, as she flips through the pages.

"Here's something," said Prue, as she looks over Phoebe's shoulder.

"The Desert of Lost Souls was once a prosperous place but after the War of Magic that took place between good and evil over 300 years ago, the place has become deserted and full of the lost souls, good and evil, that died fighting. The Cave of Destruction was where the bloodiest battle of The War took place. There, over 200 good and evil creatures died, and The Source surrendered to The Elders. The creatures that lost their lives are said to haunt the cave," read Phoebe, aloud.

"And we have to go there to get the herasroot? I don't think so," said Paige.

"Come on, Paige, we have no choice. We need the herasroot to vanquish The Queen," said Prue.

"Fine, but we all should go. It's safer if we all go," said Paige.

"Agreed," said Prue, Piper, and Phoebe simultaneously.

"We should tell the guys what's going on," said Piper.

"Leo, Andy," called Piper.

"Cole, Brian," called Prue, telekinetically tapping into their minds.

They all orb/shimmer in at the same time.

"What's going on?" asked Cole.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" asked Andy.

"We're going to The Desert of Lost Souls to get to The Cave of Destruction so we can get this rare mystical herb, herasroot, that we need to vanquish The Queen," said Phoebe.

"But..." started Leo.

"No, we're going and you can't stop us. We'll be fine, we have our powers, and we'll hurry back," said Prue.

"Anyone have a spell?" asked Paige.

"I do," said Phoebe, as she takes out the piece of paper.

"3D places as we know, To The Desert we will go," recited Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige aloud and in unison.

They disappear in white-lights.
