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.

Chapter 7
Chris was shaking horribly.
Did you just see that? Your father doesn't love you! He willingly favored Wyatt over you. And it was just because Wyatt supposedly had more powers! Don't you want to make him feel your pain?
"I do,"Chris whispered aloud, not reacting to the envoironment around him.
And your mother! She agreed with your father. Shows how much she loves you!
"I know,"Chris agreed.
You should run away! But first, you have to cause your family the pain that you have been bearing for all these years.
"I will,"Chris agreed again, even louder.
Piper rushed over to her unconcious husband. "What did you do that for?"she asked angrily.
Chris turned to face Piper, his eyes were cold, which wasn't his character. "Because of something he decided to do to me when I was one. And you agreed. Does that ring any bells for you Mother?"he sneered.
Piper frowned, not knowing what he was talking about. "I don't know what you are talking about,"she answered defiantly.
Chris slowly walked to Piper and bent down. "Think harder,"he whispered into her ear. "It had to do with me and Wyatt."
Piper's eyes became wide.
"What is he talking about Piper?"Phoebe asked.
Piper shook her head. "Nothing,"she responded.
Chris stood up straighter. "I tell you what it is Aunt Phoebe. Mom and Dad here made an agreement to favor Wyatt over me because Wyatt had more powers."
Leo slowly started to wake up. Once he realized what was happening, he jumped up and looked at his son. "Why did you do that?"he demanded furiously. "You have no right to do that to me!"
Chris turned around, his face showing a deep rage. "I have no right to do that to you?"he repeated. "What about you not having the right to decide to favor Wyatt over me? Tell me that Dad!"
Just then, a loud bang came outside the Manor. Wyatt looked out the window. "It's like a hurricane,"he said.
Chris laughed, causing everyone in the room to flinch. "That's my doing,"he said.
"What do you mean?"Leo asked.
Chris shook his head, his anger returning when he heard his father's voice. The thunder and lightning started to get worse. "It was my doing,"he repeated. "I caused this storm to happen."
"But how?"Phoebe said in complete surprise.
Chris chuckled slightly. "It's one of my handy powers,"he said,"to control the weather. And since I'm mad at all of you, the weather is going haywire."
"That's impossible!"Leo exclaimed. "You only have two powers! The Elders would know if you have more powers!"
"Don't speak of what you don't know!"Chris snapped furiously. "You don't know me at all!"
"He's too dangerous to himself and us,"Piper declared.
"We have to knock him out,"Phoebe added.
"Do it Wyatt,"Piper whispered.
Wyatt looked to his mom. "What?"he exclaimed in surprise. "I can't do that!"
"Just do it!"Piper snapped.
Wyatt formed a fire ball in his hand. "I'm sorry Chris,"he muttered sorrowfully. He threw the fireball.
Chris held up a hand, and to everyone's surprise, a thick jet of water shot out of it, causing the fireball to dissolve. A thick steam filled the room.
Once the steam cleared, Piper threw her hands up at Chris. She hoped that she could rearrange his molecules for a few moments, so a plan could be formed.
Chris smiled twistedly and threw up his hands as well. Fire particles were in the air. "I've gotten one of your powers as well Mom,"he said. "And look." He flung his hands up again, blowing up the fire particles. "Your power didn't work."
"We'll have to all team up on him,"Leo said.
Chris grinned. "That won't work,"he said. "Four on one isn't fair." He closed his eyes, and once again to everyone's surprise, three other Chrises appeared. "Now, four on four is fair. I get Him." Each of the Chrises went towards a family member, excluding Paige. She just stood there, horrified at the sight before her.
The first clone went towards Wyatt. "Well this should be fun!"he exclaimed. "Brother against brother. For once, we can see who is better!"
Wyatt threw and energy ball at Chris, who merely shot it down with water.
"Come on Wyatt,"Chris taunted,"you can do better than that."
Wyatt summoned one of his athames. "I'm sorry Chris,"he said, throwing the athame at his little brother.
Chris smiled and froze the knife. He then grabbed it and looked at it. "Remember when you got this for your fourteenth birthday?"he asked quietly. A loud clap of thunder sounded again. "They must've paid a lot for this. And what did I get for my fourteenth birthday? I'll tell you what: a stupid t-shirt from Mom and Dad, a pair of jeans from Aunt Phoebe, which both didn't fit by the way, and a pair of concert tickets and back stage passes to my favorite band from Aunt Paige. It was never fair with this family. Only Aunt Paige loved me" A jet of flames formed in his hand, and the athame melted to a crisp.
Chris then waved his hand at Wyatt, sending him into the wall. The clone then turned to watch the real Chris and Leo's fight.
The second clone was fighting Phoebe. Chris was hardly doing anything while Phoebe accessed Wyatt's powers.
Phoebe used Wyatt's power of conjuring to conjure a cage right behind Chris. She then tried to access his power of telekenisis.
The clone grinned and turned around. Two towers of flames were in his hands. He threw it at the cage, effectively melting it to metal.
Phoebe tried to access some of Chris' powers, but nothing seemed to work. Only when Chris had his back turned, did she feel something. Phoebe looked down and was surprised to see blue orbs coming out of her body and going over to Chris'. It entered his body, causing him to scream. When this happened, the three other Chris' cried out in agony.
Phoebe grinned. "Yes!"she exclaimed happily. "We won!"
"You would think so, wouldn't you?"said a weak voice.
Phoebe looked at the clone in surprise. A golden light surronded his body, and soon he stood up, completely healed. "I have more tricks up my sleeve,"he hissed menancingly. He disappeared.
Phoebe gasped in surprise. "Where did you go?"she asked.
"Behind you,"sneered a cruel voice.
Phoebe whipped around, only to fall to the ground unconcious.
The third clone was fighting Piper. As if mocking his mother, Chris was only using his mother's powers. Piper's face was clouded with determination and frustration. She made to freeze her son, but Chris did the same. The forces of the two powers hit each other in the air, sending Piper flying backwards.
Piper got up, her bones aching. She grew angry at the fact that Chris hadn't moved an inch and that he was smiling. "Why are you doing this to your own mother?"she asked desperately.
This was the wrong thing to say. Chris' eyes were practically bulging. "And why did you have to agree to my dad about paying more attention to Wyatt?"he roared. "I know the past! I know that the other Chris loved you! No matter what Dad said, you would still love me! So don't give me that crap!" He waved his hand, causing Piper to slump to the floor.
The real Chris was fighting Leo. A big grin was on his face. "Well Dad,"he sneered,"I hope that you'll have fun with this."
Leo frowned. If only he had known that Chris had these powers....... "You don't have to do this,"he warned his son. Even if he wasn't an Elder anymore, he still had their powers.
Chris' grin dropped into a scowl. "I have to Leo,"he hissed. "I have to show you that you made a mistake."
Leo raised his hands, sending a stream of electricity at Chris.
The power just simply rebounded off of Chris straight back at Leo. Leo had to duck to avoid the electricity.
A strong wind was now howling in the backround. Chris stood there, all of his fury on Leo's face. "And now it's time to prove that you made a very bad mistake,"Chris said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I have powers that you can never dream of having." Chris raised his hands, everything slowing down dramatically. A stream of electricity greater than Leo's shot out of his hands.
Leo screamed in agony. Everything hurt. This was excruciating. Why was his son doing this to him? Maybe it was his own fault. Leo became unconcious as he fell to the ground.
Chris grinned. "That's enough of you three,"he said. The three clones grinned as well and disappeared. Chris turned around and surveyed his unconcious family, except for Paige. Satisfied, he sent them into the middle of the living room where Paige stood.
"Chris,"Paige whispered, coming out of her trance. "You won't hurt me will you?"
For once, Chris' face brigtened up. The weather became better. "I never could Aunt Paige,"he said softly. "And for you being there for meI'm thankful." Chris threw up his hands, as an ice cage slowly started to form from the ground.
Phoebe groaned, slowly getting up. When she opened her eyes, she was surprised at what she was seeing. There Chris stood, a color of yellow, blue and white, and gold. She was very surprised to see a red circle in his chest, getting bigger by the minute.
The cage was complete. Chris grinned and started to chant.
"Cage that holds my family,
stay here until I come back,
do as I command thee,
for my life must be on track."
The cage glowed a red color and Chris orbed away, satisfied.
Chris orbed into the Underworld. It's time that I cause my family extreme pain, he thought savegly.
"Hey!"shouted a voice.
Chris turned around to see a demon running towards him. Grinning evily, Chris sent electricity at the demon. The poor thing didn't have a chance. It was soon a pile of ashes.
"Where should I go?"Chris wondered aloud.
"Where's Samdo?"asked a loud voice.
"I don't know,"said another voice. "He went over this way.
Chris smiled. "Looks like I can have some fun,"he muttered to himself. He turned invisible and waited for the demons to come.
"What's this?"asked an ugly demon.
"It looks like ash retard,"replied an even uglier demon. "Samdo has been vanquished."
"But by who?"
"By me,"Chris said cheerfully, turning visible again.
"Witch!"cried the two demons.
Chris cackled maliciously and sent two jets of fire at the two idiotic demons. They disappeared in a whirlwind of heat.
The cry of the word witch sent demons running towards Chris. He stood there calmly, radiating an evil presence. As a demon tried to attack, Chris blew him up. Another demon tried to attack him, but Chris sent orbs into his body, causing the demon to scream perilously. After that, every demon decided not to attack him.
"Make way!"called a loud voice. The demons spread apart, to let the demon through.
Chris stood at a stance ready to attack the demon coming to him. He was surprised to see the black cloaked demon. "Who are you?"he asked coldly.
The demon smiled. "I am Garyhan,"he replied,"and I am here to take you with me."
Chris quirked an eyebrow. "And why would I want to do that?"
Garyhan smiled again. "Curious one you are. I want to train you, to help you get the revenge that you need on your family. Then you can control the world!"
Chris considered the proposition for a few minutes. He then nodded. "Alright, I accept."
"Excellent!" Garyhan clapped his hands together. He soon found himself choking and rising a few feet in the air.
"But let me warn you,"Chris threatened,"that if you make a false move on me, you will be vanquished liked that." To prove his point, he shot out his hand and sent electricity at an unsuspecting demon.
"I won't,"Garyhan assured the boy. He is very powerful, he thought to himself.
Chris smiled as he let Garyhan down. His training had already begun.
Meanwhile, Chris' family had finally started to wake up.
"This is just great!"Piper exclaimed angrily. "My son has put us all in here!"
"I've never seen someone so in control of their powers like that other than Wyatt,"Phoebe said in amazement.
"What powers does he have anyways other than telekenisis and orbing?"Wyatt wondered aloud.
"Well,"Phoebe replied,"he can control the weather with his emotions, heal himself, have some sort of visions, use fire, and turn invisible."
"He can also freeze things and blow them up,"Piper added. She was still perplexed at the fact that her son could hide his powers for so long.
"He can shoot water out of his hands,"Wyatt put in,"as well as create copies of himself."
"And then he can use electricity and use ice,"Leo finished.
"That's not all,"Phoebe said. "He can see people's auroras."
"I don't think that is all of his powers either,"Wyatt said. He then shivered. "Did you see the way that he was playing with us? It was freaky."
"I wonder what happened to him,"Piper whispered. "I mean why would he turn evil?"
"It's something demonic,"Phoebe said. "When I woke up, I saw his aurora. It was yellow, blue, and gold. And then there was a big red thing growing inside of him. I think that once it's all red, then we've lost him forever."
Piper realized something and turned to Paige angrily. "Why didn't you help us stop Chris?"she snapped. "You could've helped us!"
Paige shook her head sadly. "I couldn't fight him,"she whispered. "I know what it's like."
"Know what what's like?"Phoebe asked, a bit of anger in her voice.
"To know what it's like to be compared to another sibling,"Paige answered.
"What are you talking about?"Leo asked, clearly confused.
"The way that you guys always compared me with Prue,"Paige said quietly.
"We didn't-"Piper began, but Paige cut her off.
"Yes you did. It wasn't for a while before you guys actually noticed me as I was. So I know what it feels like to be the lesser of two. That's how Chris feels. He's hurt and angry at you guys. That's why I could connect with him at such a deep level and why you guys couldn't. I think that you guys don't even know what his favorite sport is."
"That's easy,"Leo said,"it's football."
"No that's Wyatt's,"Paige corrected him. "Chris' is soccer. See? You guys don't even know him. If I were him, I would've cracked sooner."
"Can we just find a way to get out of this?"Wyatt asked irritably.
"Yeah,"Phoebe agreed.
Wyatt and Paige created fireballs in their hands. They threw it at the ice cage, hoping that the ice would melt. What they didn't expect was for the fireballs to bounce back at them.
Everyone dropped to the floor until the fireballs disappeared. "That was new,"Piper commented.
Paige's eyes grew misty. "Chris has some great powers in spells."
"Stop that!"Piper snapped.
Phoebe sighed. "I'll try and solve this,"she said to herself. She accessed Wyatt's powers and conjured up a drill. She then put it on the ice and turned it on.
That didn't work either. Ice chips flew out at everyone while the ice came back.
"This won't work,"Wyatt said with dispair.
A/N: For being such good reviewers, I decided that all of you guys deserved to have a new chapter today. Hopefully I'll be able to get one tomorrow as well.....
