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 8

Garyhan was pleased. In two hours, Chris had excelled beyond recognition. He had perfected all of his powers, including the whitelighter ones. He could turn into anything as well as his clones. He could sense who everyone was in a room and find people in an instant. Chris could not only heal himself, but heal others now. His powers would really help the demons.

"Something's wrong with my eyes,"Chris said suddenly.

Garyhan turned to his pupil. "Why?"he asked.

Chris looked around, his voice expressionless. "Everything including objects are red."

Garyhan grinned. "My boy,"he replied,"that is because you have had another power advance. Not only can you see people's auoras, but you can also see the auoras of things made by people. Since all of this place was created by demons, everything is red."

"Impressive,"Chris muttered. "I think that I am going to go wreck some havoc of my own."

Garyhan frowned. This wasn't how he planned it. He wanted the boy to stay in the Underworld for some more. But if he wanted to go, then he would let him. "What are you going to do?"he asked with concern.

Chris smiled maliciously. "I think that some witch hunting will do. And I'll act like a very powerful demon." He closed his eyes and turned into a demon that looked almost exactly like Garyhan. "Bye." He orbed away.

Garyhan shook his head. "He is getting eviler by the minute. Much to my liking. The Council will love to hear this!" He shimmered away to call a meeting.

Chris orbed into the attic. He looked around as he changed back into himself again. "Where is that blasted sword?"he mumbled to himself.

"There it is,"he said, grinning as he spotted Excalibur. He frowned as his eye color changed. "What is this? It's all red!" Chris' grin became wider. "Wyatt doesn't know that this thing is evil!" He cackled with glee as he turned into a demon again. He then orbed away.

Five hours later, the Halliwells weren't anywhere closer to leaving the ice cage. Everything had been tried, spells, orbing, tools, and powers. Paige tried to orb the Book of Shadows to her, but it didn't work. Nothing was working.

"This is frustrating!"Wyatt exclaimed. "Who knows what Chris could be doing right now!"

Leo opened his eyes. "I can't sense him. Perhaps the evil is getting to strong."

"Or maybe he blocked us,"Paige stated obviously.

Leo blushed. "Oh."

Paige sat down on the floor. "I think that we'll have to wait for Chris to come and get us."

"But why does he hate us so?"Piper voiced out.

Phoebe shook her head and closed her eyes. "Paige told us the answer already,"she replied. "We paid attention to Wyatt too much. And I am beginning to realize that we may be too late."

Piper and Leo hung their heads in shame realizing the mistake that they made.

Wyatt looked at his parents. "Why did you want to favor me more?"he asked suddenly.

Leo looked up. "You had more powers than Chris. If you got mad, you could've turned evil."

"So you ignore my brother!"Wyatt exclaimed angrily. "Sometimes, I'm amazed at this!"

"Hey,"Paige said quietly,"you really didn't try to stand up to your parents. You just let yourself be pampered."

"I know,"Wyatt agreed sadly. "I'm just as bad as they are."

Paige sighed. Finally, she thought, finally they are starting to recognize their mistakes. But it'll be too late.

Chris stood in Magic School. He was looking for a book to explain why Wyatt's Excalibur was red when he looked at it.

"Chris!"exclaimed a voice.

Chris turned around and smiled. "Hey Harry,"he said.

"What are you doing here?"Harry asked with interest. "We haven't seen Paige all day."

Chris shrugged. "I thought that you might know where she is,"he lied. "And I was looking for a book."

"On what?"

"Excalibur."

"Oh let me help!"

Chris grinned. "Sure." He wouldn't hurt Harry, but if he had to, he would. He then would erase his friend's memory.

After a half an hour of searching, Harry cried out in joy. "I found a book!"he cried.

Chris walked over slowly to him and snatched it out of Harry's arms. "Thanks dude,"he said sincerely.

Harry nodded, though he was a little surprised at Chris' reaction. "What does it say?"he asked.

But Chris didn't respond. He was greedily flipping through the book. His evil side was taking over, wanting to take Excalibur for himself. Chris grinned maliciously as he found some writing.

Excalibur works in mysterious ways. It can be evil or good, depending on who the sword kills first. If the sword kills a demon, then the sword will turn evil, ultimately turning the user evil. If the sword killed a witch, wizard, or good magical being first, then the sword will turn good. The only difference is that if the holder is already evil, he cannot be turned back.

"Excellent!"Chris exclaimed loudly. "I can get Excalibur and my family can pay for what they did to me!" He started to laugh evilly.

Harry backed away from the cold voice of his friend. "What...what are y...you talking about?"he stuttered. "Why would you want to hurt your family? Are you evil or something?"

"Silence,"Chris roared, waving his hand at Harry. Harry flew into the wall and became unconcious.

Chris walked over to his fallen friend and healed the boy most of the way. He then muttered a few words, erasing the memory of Chris being at Magic School.

"To the bridge!"he exclaimed. Orbs filled the room and soon they disappeared, leaving the room empty except for a sleeping Harry.

Chris orbed onto the Golden Gate Bridge. He looked around at everything. "So unware,"he muttered to himself,"this city. They are so unaware of what happens around them."

"Chris!"shouted a voice.

Chris smiled. "They are getting desperate,"he said out loud. "Don't worry dear mother, the time will come. But that is not yet."

Chris sat on the bridge for a while. "Maybe I should make a storm,"he said to himself. Another benefit of having that hour training in the Underworld was the fact that he could now control the weather. He had no idea why all his powers advanced in just one hour. Whatever it was, Chris felt that joining the demons was the answer.

After a while of thinking, Chris stood up. "I can't be going soft,"he said to himself. "I have to have Leo pay. He made me this way and I want him to know it."

The sky turned black and thunder started to sound. Chris smiled with satisfaction. "I need my anger,"he told himself. "Just think about Leo and it'll come naturally."

Chris then walked to the pillar from his vision. He said the two words that he heard the other Chris say. He then tried to reach into the pillar, but his hand started to throb as it banged into the pillar.

"Damn,"Chris muttered, pulling his hand back. He concentrated and a golden glow came over his hand. "I'll have to recite a spell."

"Excalibur, sword of ages,

sword that I most want.

You are hidden in stone cages,

yearing to find what you want.

I call upon you forth once more,

so you can lead me through the door,

to power and glory and fame,

and to beat my family at their little game!" (lame spell I know)

Chris grinned evilly with satisfaction as the pillar glowed a bright gold. He made to insert his hand into the pillar, but he didn't have to. Excalibur flew out right at his hand.

For some odd reason, this sword felt natural. Wyatt's Excalibur seemed cold and odd, but this one felt warm and almost as if it belonged to Chris. His mind became full of thoughts of what he could do with this lovely sword.

"Right now,"Chris said,"I have to make sure that this sword is good." A few seconds later, he nodded with pleasure. "Good. Good. Now I must go check on my loyal subjects." He orbed away.

Garyhan stood before the Council of Demons. "My fellow demonic friends, today is a glorious day!"

"Why?"demanded a demon. "We have lost at least 50 today!"

Garyhan grinned as he chuckled. "That is nothing compared to the fact that we have Chris Halliwell on our side today!"

There were appreciative murmers all around the cave. One demon spoke up. "How can that be? I thought that you gave it two weeks?"

Garyhan nodded in agreement. "So did I,"he replied,"but it seems that something happened to him today."

"And what would that be?"inquired one demon.

"He gained a new power to see a person's deepest secrets. And he saw Leo Wyatt's darkest secret."

"And what would that be?"

"The fact that Leo Wyatt willingly chose Wyatt over Chris because of powers. He didn't want Chris to find out."

"So that changed everything?"a demon asked loudly.

Garyhan nodded. "Yes,"he said. "Let me tell you, after an hour, the boy had incredible power advances. I'm telling you, he's invincible!"

"He seems extraordinary."

Garyhan nodded in agreement. "He is. And by controlling him, we can rule the world!"

"Now Garyhan,"said a sly and evil voice,"that wasn't a part of the agreement, now was it?"

Garyhan spun wildly around. "Where are you Chris?"he demanded, a bit of panic in his voice.

"Right here,"Chris replied, showing himself right next to Garyhan. Excalibur appeared in his hand and Chris stabbed Garyhan.

"But why?"Garyhan gurgled out.

Chris smiled. "You got a bit too power-hungry there, buddy old pal, and I don't accept that."

Garyhan screamed as he disappeared in flames.

Chris turned to face the Council of Demons.

Needless to say, all the demons were shocked. The boy was wearing all black and he had an evil air surronding him. What surprised them even more was that he was holding Excalibur.

Chris looked around with satisfaction. "I don't think that you guys want to make the same mistake as Gary over there." He motioned at the scorch marks. "So I am offering you this: we all go into an equal partnership, but if I find out that one of you is plotting against me, I will vanquish you like that. Got it?"

"And what do we get?"asked a bold demon.

"To prove my allegiance to you, I will kill any witches that you want, including the two eldest Charmed Ones!"

"Why not the youngest?"questioned a demon in the back.

Chris' face turned cold. "Because I say so,"he hissed. He threw Excalibur at the demon, instantly vanquishing him. "One thing that I don't want from any of you is to question me or you will be like your ally there."

"You got a deal,"said another demon with a large amount of fear in his voice.

"I just want you to know however,"Chris said softly,"that they will be last. Their deaths will be a bit, personal to me. It's time that they suffered!"

As the demons chattered excitedly among themselves, Chris grinned twistedly. Time for payback, he thought bitterly. Time for you all to pay.
