Cave of Destruction

Prue, very slowly and cautiously, entered the cave. Her sisters followed her close behind.

The Cave is very dark, dreary, and damp. The walls were as black, as the night sky and the ground was littered with what looked to be liked old, broken potion bottles and old, crumpled up spells. There were also human bones.

"I guess a pretty big battle was fought here," said Piper, looking at the ground.

"The biggest," said a woman, appearing out of nowhere.

"Who are you?" asked Paige, freaked out.

"Damen, the Protector of the Cave. No one gets the herasroot without getting through me first," said Damen.

"Listen, lady, we can't get through you," said Prue, confidently, as she waves her hand, intending to use her telekinesis and throw Damen into the wall.

Nothing happens and Damen laughs.

"I am beyond your little witchy powers. You will have to survive the test I will give, if you want to get the herasroot," said the woman, disappearing.

"That was creepy. Let's get out of here," said Phoebe, scared.

"No, we can't. We have to get the herasroot we need it. Whatever tests we have to go through, we will go through, together," said Prue. "Let's keep moving."

They walk a little more and suddenly blades come out of the wall, trapping them.

"What do we do?" asked Piper.

"Guys, on the count of three, I'm going to move the blades to the side for as long as possible. When I do, run," commanded Prue. "1, 2, 3."

Prue moves the blades to the sides and her and her sisters run.

"That was close," said Piper.

"Let's just keep going," said Paige.

They continue on and a gigantic beast appears in front of them.

"AH!" screamed Paige. "What is that?"

"I don't know and I don't want to find out," said Prue, waving her arm at the beast, trying to move him. It doesn't work.

"Piper, freeze," cried Prue.

Piper tries to freeze it but to no avail.

"Ok, what do we do?" Piper asked, freaked out because the beast is mere inches from them.

"Fight it, I guess. Everyone take a side, surround it," ordered Prue.

They all take their positions.

The beast lifts up its huge claws and throws Phoebe into the wall. She is bleeding.

"Phoebe!" cried Piper, trying to get to her.

The beats blocks her way and it scratches her and throws her to the side.

"Evil creature," cried Prue, attacking it.

She kicks and punches it and falls flat on its back.

"Paige, grab Phoebe's hand, it's vanquishing time," said Prue.

Paige takes her hand.

"Repeat after me. We vanquish this beast in this place, its face we now erase," said Prue.

"We vanquish this beast in this place,

Its face we now erase," recited Prue and Paige aloud, while Paige is holding Phoebe's hand. The best explodes, in flames.

"Paige, heal Piper. I got Phoebe," said Prue.

They each heal them and get up.

"What happened?" asked Piper, confused.

"The beast hurt you and threw you to the side," said Paige.

"What happened to it?" asked Phoebe.

"Vanquished," said Prue.

"Let's keep moving. I, for one, can't wait to get out of here," said Piper, as they move on.

They are walking and they see the herasroot.

"There it is," said Phoebe, beginning to walk towards it.

The same woman, Damen, appears.

"To get the herasroot, you have to kill me," said Damen.

"Not gonna' happen," said Prue, as she uses her power and brings the herasroot to them.

"3D places as we know,

It's time to bring us home," recited Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige simultaneously and in unison.

They disappear in white-lights.
