Using their new, divine powers the girls transported themselves to Heliopolis. Phoebe, having been there once before, led the way to the throne room were Ra could be found.
Phoebe had turned herself back into Hathor, fearing the powers of Sakhmet. She hoped and prayed she would never again have to use the Goddess of Destruction's powers.
Just before they opened the doors to the throne room, she turned around to Piper and Paige. "Look, I don't think I need to tell you this but this is one powerful God we're dealing with. I say we hit him fast and we hit him hard, so he doesn't have time to warm up."
Piper and Paige both nodded. "Okay then, remember we have to take of the Sundisk-pendant. Then he'll be helpless. Ready? Let's go!"
They used their divine capabilities once again to transport into the throne room, and immediately Paige fired an energy ball at the throne, while Piper hurled a fireball and Phoebe unleashed a gust of air simultaneously.
They only managed to obliterate the Sun God's golden seat, but before they could be surprised they heard a groan behind them and were hit by a powerful wave of heat.
Trying to focus while the heat was consuming her Phoebe summoned all the power she had in her, turned around and unleashed an ultimate gust of air. The wave of heat was broken, and all three of them recovered from it instantly.
The gust of air sped towards Ra, but he disappeared in a spiral of flames like Sakhmet had and it pulverized the wall it came in contact with. Ra reappeared behind the girls and got ready to strike Phoebe with a fireball, but Paige intervened by throwing an energy ball at him and knocking him back.
Falling down, he still managed to hurl two fireballs at Piper and Phoebe. Both were thrown back, but as he got up and faced Paige she started to emit a greenish light. Phoebe and Paige both got up and noticed the beams of green light that danced around the room, originating from their sister.
Suddenly, just before the light Paige was emitting became blinding, Piper threw herself in front of Phoebe and summoned a screen of fire to protect them.
Slowly, both of them opened their eyes. The screen of fire was gone; it had become a wall of ice, cold and thick but still as see-through as glass. Through it, they saw Paige standing in the exact same spot as she had been but looking exhausted.
"I did it guys! I defeated Ra," she whispered tiredly, but they still managed to hear her. Looking at where the Sun God had been standing, they saw him. He was a pillar of ice, well contained. Piper started to feel joy, thinking of the fact that Wyatt would be safe now. Phoebe however had a nagging feeling in the pit of her stomach, saying that something wasn't right.
Just as the worn-out Paige turned towards them, the ice around Ra shattered. Startled, Paige turned around again and fired a very weak energy ball at the now obviously angry deity.
He caught it, and held it in his hands. Suddenly, it appeared to gain more power as he held it and it was clear to the girls Ra had turned Paige's weak energy ball inot a high voltage energy ball.
But when he added even more power to it by also infusing it with a very powerful fireball, it became clear that their plan hadn't worked. Ra had already warmed up, and he was playing for keeps. Phoebe saw it in his face; he knew they had destroyed his daughters, and he was planning to destroy them. Starting with Paige.
Ra raised his hand to throw the energized fireball and destroy Paige, and Piper started to bang on the ice an effort to break it. Phoebe however felt the powers of Sakhmet surfacing again. "Crack!" She commanded the ice, and it did.
Ra threw his fireball, but Phoebe once again summoned all her powers and again unleashed an ultimate gust of air. Ra turned around, and hurled a fireball at her. Her gust of air collided with the energized fireball he had aimed at Paige, and both of them simply vanished into thin air.
Just before his other fireball hit Phoebe, Piper used the cat head on her headband to summon one of the cat faced creatures. It materialized right in front of Phoebe, getting the full blast and disappearing once again. In the mean time Piper didn't waist any time and hurled her own fireball at Ra, knocking the deity back.
Suddenly, the sapphire blue pendant of Ma'at started to glow and Phoebe took it in her hand. "What's going on?" Paige weakly reached her and Piper, and both her sisters looked at Phoebe.
"I think this is Ma'at's final gift," Phoebe said, holding out her empty right hand. The golden Feather of Truth appeared into it, and she swung it at Ra. It accelerated, and sped towards the Sun God like an arrow.
He tried to ward it off, but to no avail. It pierced his heart, and as he reached to touch it the shadow of a monstrous woman appeared before him. "The Feather of Truth has spoken. Your heart is not worthy of Paradise, and now it shall be mine." Ra suddenly exploded, and the shadow turned to the girls.
It solidified and gained colour. "I am Ammit, I condemn those whose hearts are not pure. On behalf of the other Egyptian Gods and previous Ra's I must thank you for stopping this Ra, who has defiled everything our dynasty stood for."
Piper, Phoebe and Paige nodded. They expected Ammit and the Feather to disappear, but she didn't. Instead, she picked up the Feather, and walked towards Phoebe.
" I also bring you a message from Hathor, Sakhmet and Ma'at. A face is but a face, and the future isn't certain. Beware the Dark Witch!" Ammit and the Feather suddenly disappeared, leaving Phoebe confused.
"What was that all about?" Phoebe shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe some new enemy they want to warn me about?" "Yeah, speaking about enemy's…I was thinking, do we keep these things on at all times?"
Phoebe and Piper looked at Paige, who shrugged. "I was just wondering." Piper looked at Phoebe. "No Paige, it wouldn't be smart. I got this one off of Hathor with nothing but my witch powers and smart thinking because she trusted her powers too much. If we kept these on, I think we'd be risking the same fate. What if a demon manages to get one these?" Phoebe stopped talking and looked at Paige, though not really expecting an answer to the rather rhetorical question.
"That would be a disaster. So, what should we do with them? We can't keep them at the manor," Piper spoke up. "Maybe we can let the Elders guard them for us?" Phoebe shook her head at Paige's suggestion.
"There's a much better place to store these; Magic School, it's perfect actually!" Thinking about it, her sisters agreed and dematerialised. Looking around one more time, Phoebe became air and disappeared.
The EndAuthor's Notes: Thanks to everyone who read this, and took the time to review. If I really wish I could, but I have no time to email you personally. SORRY! I really am sorry. If you could spare enough time for one final review, that would be great let me know what you thought of the story overall. Also, I have some ideas for a sequel but that's going to take some more time because I have to write it in my head first.
Now , since I can't email you personally I'm going to name everyone who reviewed now as a way of thanks.
These are the new people I love:
My friend Erman, who reviewed orally and is now addicted to my fanfiction
Alyssa Halliwel, reviewed five of six chapter's so far, Phoebe is going to keep her new power in the sequel
Andy20, who seemed to be in my head while I wrote since in his reviews he always struck the tone of the next chapter
charmed1s-halliwels, don't worry there won't be anything ancient in the next one
Ceres217, I'm glad you liked it
InTheForestOfTheNight, I hope you'll adore the next one as well
and last but not least riehyanna, I hope it wasn't too difficult for you to separate quotes by different characters. Since nobody else seemed to mind the way I wrote it now, I chose not to change it.
Hope you guys will read and review the sequel as well, and recommend them both to other people. See you guys soon in (I haven't figured out a title for that one yet).
With love,
Arcangelic
