"Ok, here it is, basically everything we already know, the Tempest fiddles with time and such." Piper said standing over the book.
"Any potions or spells to vanquish him?" Prue asked.
"Nope, nothing new since… the last time." Piper said. She had almost said since Andy died.
"So how did you beat him the last time?" Paige asked.
"He put us in a time loop and we broke it by speeding up time." Phoebe filled her in.
When Paige heard this she turned to Piper. "Why don't you just freeze him and blow him up over and over again? The shift in time that he has no control over might weaken him and then we could do a spell to vanquish him completely."
"That could work. Piper?" Prue said.
"Ok then let get the show on the road. You three work on a spell and call me when you're ready." Piper said starting toward the door.
"Where are you going?" Prue asked.
"Me?" Piper said innocently, "I'm going back to bed, I do have to do most of the work." Piper grinned as the others groaned, "Oh come on, it's only," She looked at her watch, "5:30 in the morning you should be fine." She said as she left.
Phoebe turned to Paige and started hitting her repeatedly with a pillow. "Couldn't you have woken us up a few hours later?"
Paige ran for cover behind Prue yelling, "I didn't mean to, you people just followed me up here. Prue help!"
"Help? Now that I think of it, you did get us up rather early of course I'll help." Prue then proceeded to help Phoebe by using her powers to fling pillows at Paige.
Paige orbed the pillows back at her sisters and then orbed away herself.
"Paige!" Prue called as she and Phoebe looked all around the room trying to find her. It would have been easy if they had looked up. Paige was clinging to the rafters watching the seen below.
Phoebe walked underneath her and Paige called out her name. Phoebe looked up startled and was just in time to see Paige launch herself from the ceiling at her. The two of them fell into a pile of pillows Paige had orbed over to break their fall. Laughing Prue pulled the two of them apart and started lecturing the two of them on the unsafeness of jumping and blah blah blah, she even did it with a strait face.
"May I?" Paige asked Phoebe.
"Be my guest." Phoebe replied.
Prue disappeared in blue orbs.
"Where did you send her?" Phoebe asked.
"Into Piper's room." Paige replied as a shriek sounded from downstairs.
It took them awhile to get settled down again, Piper had decided to stay up and help after being awakened by Prue falling on top of her. Phoebe set to work writing a spell, she had always been fairly good at that, Piper started breakfast, and Prue started to show Paige how they did things at the manor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ok, this is what I have, " Phoebe announced after they had eaten, "The first spell is to summon the Tempest and the next is to destroy him."
"Hear my call,
Wherever you may be,
Time and space mean little to me.
Cross the distance,
The great divide,
Oh Tempest I do summon thee."
Phoebe looked at her sisters.
"Ok good, next one please." Prue said.
"Right, this one is to destroy the Tempest." Phoebe said.
"Blow up,
Stand still,
Time beyond your will,
Become destroyed,
By time's great void."
"Ok, that's good, so let's vanquish us some demons." Paige said.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They stood in the attic, Piper in front of them all with her hands raised ready to blow up the Tempest.
The four of them read the summing spell and watched as smoke billowed up and the Tempest appeared. Before he could react Piper blew him up and froze him and blew him up again.
"Get ready for the spell." She yelled back at her sisters and four voices rose in unison saying the vanquishing spell.
The Tempest yelled and tried to fight but was over come by the power of the four witches and he blew up in a brilliant spectrum of colors.
They stood there looking at the chaired spot on the ground each thinking different thoughts.
Prue thought of Andy and of her long awaited revenge, Piper thought of the mess she was going to have to clean up, Phoebe just wanted to go back to bed, and Paige felt happy, this was her first vanquish as part of the family and it felt good.
Finally the silence was broken by Paige saying, "How about second breakfast?"
Piper turned to her, "You ate all the food I had, right now I think you better take a shower."
Paige backed away, "Those things are unhealthy for you, I'm happy as I am."
Piper dragged her away and Phoebe left after them heading for her room. Only Prue stayed looking at the charred spot of wood. Walking over to it she placed her hand on it and looked up, "I'm sorry I couldn't save you Andy, but at least now you're revenged."
