The-Cheese-Fairy: Glad you liked it! How do you know it was Andy that orbed, how d'you know she wasn't imagining things? You'll just have to wait and see! Yeah, poor Leo! I can't wait for your next update!

Peanut2lb: Glad you liked it! When you say you don't know about the red orbs, is that you don't like them? I may have slipped up there, lets just say the banshee could possess Prue because her inner demon was the loss of Phoebe, Andy and Patrice, so revenge would vanquish it!

Princess Pinky: Glad you liked it! The Source apologized because Prue was practically poking his eye out, you could say he was more of a wimp than ruler of the underworld! Sorry, but the Elder-thing is a necessary thing for a future subplot!

PrUe AnD AnDy: Glad you liked it!

Cole vs. Belthazar:

Cole shimmered into the underworld and vanquished two demons with energy balls,

"tell the Source Belthazar's gonna bring his reign to an end," he told the remaining demon,

"look who it is, the almighty Belthazar," a woman said, after shimmering in.

"Oracle, you're pathetic, nothing but the Source's lapdog, he gets far more reliable visions from the Seer," Cole said, the Oracle glared at him,

"at least I haven't made myself an outcast to the underworld, and it was all for nothing, now your little witch is six feet under," she hissed.

"You aren't even worthy to speak about Phoebe," he snapped,

"why? She was only a charmed one," the Oracle replied,

"exactly, she was a charmed one, much greater than you, and I loved her," he stated, shimmering out.

He shimmered into the attic of the manor,

"Cole, are you okay?" Piper asked,

"no," he replied, his skin began to turn red and black markings began to appear,

"why are you turning into Belthazar?" the middle sister questioned.

"I don't know," he told her, he let out a roar as the red and black completely took over and he changed into Belthazar,

"uh oh," Piper said, he launched an energy ball at her, which she froze and ran from the attic.

"Prue!" she called,

"what is it?" Prue asked, telekinetically opening her bedroom door from her bed, where she was sitting with Grace,

"Cole, he's lost control and turned into Belthazar," Piper told her,

"maybe we should vanquish him?" the eldest charmed one said.

"No, Phoebe wouldn't want us to," Piper said,

"if you hadn't noticed, Phoebe's not here," Prue stated,

"I can't believe you Prue, how can you be so heartless," Piper said, "Phoebe would want us to help Cole, and I'm going to, with or without your help,"

"it looks like you're doing it without me then," Prue said,

"I'll get Paige's help," she told her elder sister.

Piper ran back up to the attic to find Belthazar had left,

"losing control," she said, "c'mon, someone help me," she looked heavenward, the pages began to flip and stopped on one which read 'self-demonic control',

"thanks grams,"

"how d'you know it wasn't Phoebe?" a voice asked, Piper looked up from the book to see Paige standing in the doorway.

"Hi, and I know it wasn't Phoebe because she's not telekinetic," she said,

"right, Prue said you were up here, and that you might want my help," Paige replied,

"yeah, I kinda need your social worker skills to help Cole, he's losing control of his demon half," Piper told her,

"then shouldn't we vanquish him, I mean, the whole power of three thing?" Paige asked.

"No, Phoebe wouldn't want that, so are you gonna help?" Piper questioned,

"sure," Paige replied, and then she joined Piper at the book.

An hour later, Piper and Paige stepped into the Turner mausoleum,

"he better be here," Piper said,

"well I can sense evil here," Paige said,

"you have to be kidding me? there could be any demon here," Piper told her. They walked down the stairs to find a woman standing in-between two male demons, each of them were holding Belthazar's wrists with chains created out of electricity.

"Hey," Piper said, the demons and the woman looked up, Piper blew up the demons but the woman protected herself with a shield of golden energy,

"you help Cole, I'll vanquish her," Piper told Paige. Paige nodded and walked over to Belthazar,

"okay, I don't really know you, but Piper does and apparently you were some really good guy to Phoebe, and I didn't really know her either, but…" she stopped when he formed an energy ball "…please don't hurt me?" The Oracle swiped at Piper's face, scratching it,

"scratch this," Piper said, she flicked out her hands and released a purple blast, which struck the Oracle and made her blow up.

"I'm new to this whole witch thing, but I figure you only have to rhyme to make a spell, so here it goes," Paige said, and then she chanted;

"Back to Cole change him,

End his quest of sin."

Belthazar returned to Cole,

"wow, it worked," Paige was shocked,

"uh oh, there's a demon on the way," she said, there was a bright flash and a solar demon appeared.

"You again, what do you want?" Piper asked,

"I don't want you, I want Belthazar's powers," the demon replied,

"why?" Cole questioned, a high voltage energy ball sat in his palm,

"I'm collecting powers, to overpower the Source and rule the underworld, I have the magic of a Halliwell, the magic of our old king, the magic of a darklighter and now I want yours," the solar demon told him. Cole shot the energy ball at the solar demon, who created a darklighter crossbow and destroyed it with an arrow, Piper made a gesture and released a purple ripple, but Mascrin, the solar demon, deflected it. Piper's violet blast was rebounding back at her, when she saw a bolt of lightening zoom in-front of her and destroy it,

"I'll take great pleasure in killing an Elder," Mascrin said, Piper looked at Leo, who had just orbed in and saved her life,

"he's not an Elder, not yet," the middle sister told the solar demon, charging up another molecular blast.

"Actually, I am," Leo said, wounding Mascrin with another lightening bolt,

"what?" Piper questioned, accidentally blowing up the bottom few steps which led down into the mausoleum. Before Leo could answer her, Mascrin jumped up with supernatural speed and burned Paige's stomach with a beam of sunlight,

"heal her," Piper instructed, Leo ran to the half-whitelighter/half-witch and a warm glow released from his palm, making her wound vanish. Cole fired two energy balls at Mascrin, throwing him into the wall,

"I'm gonna need to become Belthazar to vanquish him," he said,

"no, we can get Prue and use a power of three spell," Piper told him,

"neither will work, I'm stronger than Belthazar and your new little sister isn't completely charmed yet," Mascrin snarled, transforming into a yellow, black and blue demon who had a green web-like pattern stretched across his face.

"Suits don't go with multicoloured skin," Paige said, Mascrin straightened out his jacket and replied;

"I thought your were a witch, not an officer in the fashion police,"

"demonic comedy, how pathetic," Piper quipped.

"I'll be back," Mascrin said, disappearing in a bright flash,

"who does he think he is? The terminator?" Paige grinned, Piper gave a smile and joined hands with her baby sister,

"do you want me to orb you?" Leo asked,

"Cole will shimmer us," Paige told him, feeling the tension between the two. Cole took hold of Paige's arm and shimmered them out,

"daddy," a child's voice said, Leo turned around just as orbs shot past his head,

"Patrice?" he said,

"mommy and daddy," the voice said, as the orbs went past his head again and disappeared.

"How did my daughter come to me?" Leo asked Zola, a fellow Elder, after orbing up to the Elder's realm,

"Patrice's essence is past our knowledge, we have no idea what or how she came to you, but if you want to know get her mother to cast a spell, temporarily make Patrice a mortal spirit, ask her yourself," he replied. Leo thought for a moment,

"what if she can't move on?" he said,

"then you must help her to," Zola told him, before orbing out.

To be continued…

Next chapter- The sisters write a spell to make Paige completely charmed. Someone makes a return. Piper casts a spell so she and Leo can help Patrice move on, but will they change their minds?

'Unfinished Business' should be up soon.
