Piper and Paige looked away from the Hood, "Close your eyes Phoebe," the latter shouted. But the warning came too late.
The Priestess stood up and created two energy balls and aimed one at a floating Phoebe and the other at the Tracy men. The Priestess smiled evilly at Piper and Paige. "Attack me and I kill your sister and one of these men."
Piper looked at the Tracy men. She had to double take to look at them. They were frozen, they must have froze when I aimed at the bullet, Piper thought to herself. She waved her hand slightly by her side to unfreeze the men.
Jeff stared at the floating Phoebe. "What the hell!"
"Hold your fire Dad," Scott shouted seeing the predicament that everyone was in.
Startled that the Tracy's were unfrozen, the Priestess released the energy ball that she had aimed at them. It headed towards Gordon. He was just about to duck when Piper froze the ball mid flight. "Paige get rid of the ball," she ordered.
Paige called for the energy ball. She wanted to throw it at either the Priestess or the Hood, but she couldn't. If she did that, the priestess would release her last energy ball that she had aimed at Phoebe. Paige sighed and orbed the ball outside into the ocean, where it exploded safely.
Phoebe's body lowered to the ground slowly. The Hood caught her as her world turned black.
Paige glared at the Priestess. "Give us back our sister," she spat out.
The Priestess laughed. "Never. If I do that then I'll never beat you and destroy the power of three forever and he'll never get what he wants." She then signalled towards the Hood.
"And what's that?" Piper asked.
"Why, the blueprints for the Thunderbirds or course," the Hood looked at Jeff.
"And if we don't give them to you?" John asked before his father could say anything.
"Then we kill Phoebe first, then come back for the rest of the witches..." the Priestess spoke up.
"And then we come after you. You have ten hours. We'll send you the coordinates to deliver the blueprints. If you do not comply, then...you'll know what will happen." The Hood finished. He smiled down at the unconscious Phoebe and kissed her cheek.
Piper and Scott wanted to lunge forward but were held back by their younger siblings.
The Priestess held onto the Hood and Phoebe and disappeared in the same whirlwind she appeared in.
"What are we going to do? We need the power of three to destroy the Priestess," Paige looked desperately at her sister for the answer.
"We're going to need lots of potions." Piper decided.
"And our help." Paige and Piper looked at Scott in surprise.
"No, Scott. You guys will be in danger if you go out and face the Hood and the Priestess again. We're here to protect you. Let us go alone," Paige pleaded, "It's not like this is the first time something like this has happened."
"Scott's right. You were apparently sent here to help us. From what I've heard from my sons, you already saved Virgil's life today and you just saved ours now. Let us help you." Jeff walked over to the girls.
Paige and Piper looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
Seeing this, Jeff spoke again as if to clinch a deal, "If we work together, we'll stand more of a chance of getting your sister back safe."
After thinking about it, Piper sighed, "Ok, we work together. We'll go home and get some potions together. You guys come up with a plan on how to get Phoebe back without giving away your Thunderbird secrets."
"FAB," replied Virgil.
"Huh?" Paige looked confused.
"It's an agreement, like affirmative," Virgil explained.
"Oh," Paige exclaimed.
"We'll be back later." Piper held onto Paige and they disappeared.
The Priestess paced up and down in the Hood's temple, "We should have just killed them where they stood."
"If we had done that, then I wouldn't be able to get my hands on their plans. That is the reason why I brought you here. After I get my plans, you can do whatever you want to them," the Hood argued.
"What makes you think that they will give up their plans to you?"
"Because they would do anything to save a life." the Hood smiled. "Maybe we can use her to our advantage, before you kill her."
"What do you have in mind?" the Priestess smiled back.
