This Changes Everything

Summary:

It's the new future where things are better. Wyatt isn't evil. The Charmed Ones aren't dead. Magic isn't exposed to the world. Things are all fine and dandy, right? Wrong. At least for fourteen-year old Chris Halliwell. Wyatt is being pampered like a little prince while Chris stands in the backround. It's all about Wyatt. And then there is always being compared to the "Great Chris" who had changed the future for the better. What happens when all of this along with a few new things pushes Chris over the edge?

Disclaimer: Charmed is not mine. It belongs to a whole bunch of people with a lot of money who I don't feel like naming.

A/N: Sorry for spelling and grammar errors. I'm not the best at English.

A/N 2: Sorry for the mistake at the end of the chapter where I put the two brothers disappeared in a flash of flames. Just believe that I said they had orbed away.

ilovedrew88-Yeah well, they thought nothing was wrong. Also, since the demons acting like the Charmed Ones were in the attic, so Chris thought that they were in there for a long time.

Chapter 5

Piper groaned and sat up slowly. She looked around in confusion. "Where am I?"she whispered aloud.

"Ahh a Charmed One is awake!" exclaimed a voice.

Piper looked around, and all she saw was the swishing of a black cloak. She didn't want to get hit by any powers, so she sat at the back of the cage that was confining her and her sisters.

About an hour later, both Paige and Phoebe woke up. "Where are we?"Paige asked after she got a look at her surrondings.

"You are my gracious guests,"said the voice that Piper heard earlier.

"And who are you?"Piper demanded rudely.

There stood a demon. He was covered in a black cloak with red designs on it. Nobody could see his face. "Ahhh you can't know that."

"Why do you have us here?"Phoebe asked.

"I need Wyatt,"the demon replied.

"What for your lover?"Paige asked sarcastically.

The demon chuckled. "Always the sarcastic one. No. I'm going to turn Wyatt evil so he can rule the world."

Another demon appeared in the cave. He looked like a regular human. "Sir?"he asked nervously. "I have some news for you."

The cloaked demon got very mad. "Very well,"he hissed. "I'll speak to you three witches later." He disappeared from the room.

"I hope that Wyatt hurries up,"Piper whispered hurriedly.

"And Chris,"Paige added warningly.

"No offense Paige,"Phoebe replied,"but Chris doesn't have the powers that Wyatt does."

Paige groaned. "It isn't the powers that makes a witch-"she started.

"But the way the witch uses them,"Piper finished. "We know, we know. It's just that Wyatt is a lot better than Chris, Paige. I hope that you understand."

Paige shook her head but didn't say anything.

Piper looked up. "Hurry up Wyatt,"she whispered.

The demon, named Garyhan, followed his servent out of the view and hearing range of the Charmed Ones. He angrily turned to his servant demon. "What?"he snarled.

The demon facing him shook with fear. He held out a stack of papers. "I have Herbsen's report sir,"he replied.

"Good! Get out of my sight!"

Garyhan smiled as he flipped through the papers. "Seems that this is good for me! Come back here!"

The demon reappeared. "Yes sir?"he asked.

"Call the demon council!" Garyhan ordered. "I have a meeting to go to!"

Garyhan stood in front of a group of menancing demons. "My fellow demons of the Council,"he started,"I have found someone more powerful than Wyatt Halliwell!"

Instantly, there were many mummerings.

"What? Somebody more powerful than Wyatt?"

"How can that be? The twice-blessed child, not the strongest witch alive?"

"That's not possible!"

Garyhan held up his hand. "I have proof from Herbsen's report. And I will give it to you!" He threw the stack of papers on the table. He waited until every demon had read the report from his demon. "See?"he asked.

"We must have him join us!"exclaimed a demon.

"But how?"asked another.

Garyhan smiled. "Once again,"he said,"I have the answer. Herbsen had planted a seed of doubt inside the boy. He will grow to distrust his family more and more until he can't take it. Then, he will blow at them and leave his family to join us! He will help us rule the world!"

There were some more mummerings.

Garyhan smiled. "Democracy, great isn't it?"he asked aloud, to no one in particular.

The two brothers appeared in a secluded place in the Underworld. Chris looked around. "Good. Nobody's here,"he said. "So let's sense for them."

Wyatt nodded in agreement. He closed his eyes as did Chris. A few seconds later, the both opened their eyes, pointed in a direction, and said,"That way."

The only problem was that they were pointing in the opposite directions.

"I know that they are that way,"Wyatt said determinedly.

Chris shook his head. "They are this way,"he answered forcefully.

"No offense Chris,"Wyatt said,"but I'm better than you."

Chris sighed. Once Wyatt had made his mind, there was no way to stop him. "Fine. You go that way and I'll go this way. If we find them, then we will call the other. Okay?"

Wyatt nodded and started to walk past Chris. Chris waited until his brother disappeared from view and turned invisible. He walked towards the way he had sensed his family.

Chris heard voices about twenty minutes later. He slowed down and peered around a bend to see his mom and aunts. They were talking to a demon with a black cloak over his face.

"So,"the demon said,"waiting for your son to save you, right?"

Piper nodded defiantely. "That's right,"she said,"Wyatt will come save us."

A voice spoke in Chris' head. Just look! it exclaimed. Your own mother doesn't love you! All she thinks about is Wyatt!

Chris shook his head. "That's not true,"he whispered to himself.

The demon spoke again and chuckled. "You seem to care for your son a lot don't you?"

"You know it,"Piper replied.

The demon turned around without another word.

Chris turned visible again. "Wyatt!"he whispered, not wanting to alert anyone to his presence.

A set of blue orbs appeared and then disappeared, leaving Wyatt in its place. "What?"he asked.

"I found Mom and the aunts,"Chris replied. He pointed to the cage.

Wyatt started to move towards his family, but an invisible force stopped him. "We can't rush into this,"Chris explained. "We have to think of a plan."

Wyatt grinned. "Why don't I distract the demons by making a few astral forms of me? Then you can get Mom and the aunts."

"And then we can leave,"Chris finished, grinning. "For once, we think alike. Go ahead then."

Wyatt closed his eyes and a few moments later, there were eight Wyatts. They each looked at Chris and then walked towards the cage.

The difference between Wyatt's astral projection forms and Chris' copies was the fact that Chris' copies were real. They couldalso use Chris' powers, unlike Wyatt's forms. Also, whenever Chris or one of his copies got hurt, the rest would feel the pain. That was the only downside.

Chris heard a few shouts and then he orbed into the cave right in front of the cage.

"Duck!"yelled Paige.

Chris dropped to the ground as an energy ball flew over his head. He looked up to see his aunt grinning. "Thanks Aunt Paige,"he said.

"No problem."

"I wish that our powers would work!"Phoebe exclaimed.

"It won't because this probably blocks all magic from leaving and entering the cage,"Chris responded, standing up.

"We know that,"Piper snapped. "Set us free!"

Chris groaned inwardly as he made his way towards the lock. He started to pound on the lock, but it wouldn't break. He continued, but still it didn't work. Chris then twisted his finger in the small opening, trying to act like a key, but it didn't work.

There was a small shout.

"Wyatt needs help!"Phoebe exclaimed.

"We'll be fine,"Paige assured her young nephew.

Chris turned around and flung a demon into the wall. He then made a fist, squeezing the heart of the demon. After the demon had burst into flames, Chris turned to another demon and started to fight with him.

"Set us free!" Piper yelled as Chris destroyed two more demons. "Wyatt has the rest!"

Chris sighed and orbed back to the cage. He ducked again as he heard an energy ball whizzing towards him. Standing up again, Chris had a plan. He deducted that regular powers didn't work on the lock, so he was going to use electricity.

"Stand back,"he ordered gently.

Phoebe frowned. "Why?"she asked.

"Because I'm going to do something dangerous,"Chris lied smoothly. After his family had stepped to the back of his cage. Chris put one finger to the lock and sent a small electrical charge through it. The lock clicked open and Chris smiled with satisfaction.

"What did you do?"Paige asked, eyeing her nephew curiously.

Chris shrugged. "Just something that popped into my head,"he lied again.

Wyatt walked up to Piper. "Well,"he said,"they're all gone."

Piper grinned and kissed her son on the cheek. "I'm glad that you came,"she cooed. Piper then turned to Chris with a stern look. "You should've come vanquishing with us or else this wouldn't have happened!"

"But if Chris wasn't there,"Wyatt butted in,"then I would be evil. Give him a break."

"Fine,"Piper growled. "Just this once."

Piper and Phoebe turned towards Wyatt again while Paige made her way towards Chris.

See! exclaimed the voice in Chris' head again. She doesn't care for you! Instead of thanking you for saving her life, she practically yells at you. You have some mother.

A deep look of anger passed quickly over Chris' face. As soon as it appeared, then it was gone. Only two people noticed it: Paige and Garyhan, who was standing in the shadows.

After the family had orbed away, Garyhan stepped out of the shadows. He gave a malicious grin. "Seems that my plan is working quicker than planned."
