Return of the Dead

Chapter 7- Action Time In the manor

"Heal her," Prue and Paige immediately shouted at Leo as soon as he orbed in.

He quickly bent over Piper and the familiar golden glow lit up over her wound. Piper sat up quickly and gasped for breath.

"Oh thank God," Paige and Prue said relived as the hugged Piper tightly.

"Guys, kinda got to breath here," Piper gasped again.

"Oh right sorry," they both said letting her go.

They all shared a giggle for a moment.

"What are we going to do about Cole?" Paige asked suddenly becoming very serious.

"Right, that demon said before that he hasn't been coronated yet so we have to hurry" Prue said

"The Underworld will be even more guarded now and for all we know Cole might know about Prue being back," Piper pointed out.

"We just lost our best plan, the eliminate of surprise," Paige moaned.

"We have to move fast Cole probably already knows that the demon tipped us off about the coronation so he may have moved it forward," Prue said

"We'll go now, grab the potions," Piper ordered.

"Be careful," Leo said kissing Piper on the cheek

"We always are," she replied before taking Paige's hand and orbing out.

In the Underworld- Phoebe and Cole are getting ready for the coronation

"Everything is in order, My liege," A demon called Calder notified the soon-to-be Source of all Evil. "My liege, might I speak with you a moment."

"Can't it wait," Cole asked.

"No it is quite important," Calder answered.

Cole sighed obviously annoyed at this interruption but staying calm in order to please Phoebe.

"I'll be right back," Cole said apologetically to Phoebe.

"It's alright, go but hurry back," Phoebe smiled seductively at him.

"I will," he replied ginning.

"This better be important," Cole snapped as soon as they were out of Phoebe's earshot.

Calder gulped before answering "Are you sure this is a good idea?" he asked tilting his head towards Phoebe's dungeon.

"We've been over this, she makes me happy and if I'm happy then that makes me more powerful and the more powerful I'am the better a source I'am, " Cole answered simply.

"But she's a Charmed One she can never truly be evil," Calder reasoned. "She will always choose her sisters over evil and soon they will be here and vanquish you."

"So what are you suggesting," Cole asked.

"We kill her and end the Charmed Ones once and for all and you go on to make the greatest Source the Underworld has ever seen," Calder answered enthusiastically.

"HOW DARE YOU!" Cole shouted outraged " I would never hurt Phoebe,"

"Sorry My liege but isn't that what you are doing now by forcing her to become evil with a spell," Calder argued.

Yes for now but once the coronation is over I will gradually remove the spell and in time she will get used to being evil and she will love me again, " Cole explained.

Another part of the Underworld

The Charmed Ones had just orbed in and were relieved to find no demons about.

"Say the spell," Piper ordered.

The Power of Three

Will help us find Phoebe

They all chanted the spell three times.

Once they had finished Paige's face suddenly lit up.

" I know where she is," she said happily.

"Okay now lets go over what we're going to do when we find her," Paige said.

"No time for that now orb us quick, " Piper said impatiently.

Paige rolled her eyes at Piper's impatience but had to admit she was impatient to see Phoebe herself so she orbed them.

Meanwhile in Phoebe's dungeon

Phoebe was becoming increasingly bored. Cole had been gone ages. Suddenly she heard a very noise from behind her. She turned round. In front of her stood her sisters all three of them.

"What the… " Phoebe stuttered

"Okay Phoebe now we know you're probably under some kind of evil spell so we're going to try and be understanding," Paige said calmly.

"Yeah, " Piper agreed nodding and taking a deep breath

"Now can you kindly tell us what the hell you think you're doing!" Piper shouted angrily.

"Piper what happened to being calm and understanding," Prue asked.

Piper ignored Prue's comment and continued yelling at phoebe "Phoebe don't you remember what happened the last time and how long it took you to get over it, "

"Look Piper I don't need your blessing, I love Cole and I always have and this is where I belong, " Phoebe stated obviously annoyed at Piper's outburst.

"Phoebe this is not where you belong, you are a good witch not an evil queen," Paige encouraged.

"If that's what I have to be to be with Cole then that's what I'am going to be," Phoebe replied.

"What about us, your sisters, your nephews, all those innocents out there, we all need you Phoebe, please come back with us," They all pleaded.

Before Phoebe had a chance to answer a demon walked in

"My Queen we are ready for you now," He said but stopped when he caught sight of the intruders in the dungeon, he shouted and two other demons shimmered in.

One sent an energy ball flying at Prue but she waved her arm at it and sent it flying back at the demon, he erupted in flames.

Piper tried to blow up a demon but ended up just blowing off his arm, he howled so loud it alerted two more demons to shimmer in.

One shimmered behind Piper and stabbed her in the back. She fell to the floor.

Prue screamed and ran over to Piper but was caught with an energy ball and was thrown against the dungeon wall and she fell to the floor unconscious.

Paige was the only one standing and was outnumbered by 3 to 1.

An energy ball came flying toward her.

"Energy ball," she shouted. It flew back at the demon and he erupted in flames.

"1 down 2 to go" Paige thought.

The two remaining demons threw energy balls at her at the same time. She couldn't dodge them both.

Piper who was lying on the ground weak managed to freeze them.

Paige smiled gratefully but had to act quickly as Piper was to weak to keep them frozen for long.

One by on she sent them flying back at the demons and they were vanquished.

"Thank God" Paige thought. She ran over to Piper and Prue. They were breathing.

Unknown to her though another three demons had shimmered in behind her. She was thrown against the wall and as she fell to the floor she managed to mouth to Phoebe "help"

Suddenly Phoebe came to her senses, seeing her sisters lying there she knew she had to help them. Her life was with them fighting evil not being evil.

She levitated in the air and kicked two of the demons knocking them out.

"My Queen what are you doing?" the last standing demon asked.

"Something I should have done along time ago," she replied before kicking him in the face, he fell to the floor.

She scanned the room and spotted the potion bottles, she threw them at the demons and they disappeared in flames.

She immediately knelt by her sisters praying they were okay. They were all breathing.

She shook Paige begging her to wake up. After a few shakes she opened her eyes.

"What happened?" she asked rubbing her head.

"I'll explain later," Phoebe said smiling at her, tears in her eyes. She took a last look around, knowing she was making the right decision "Orb us home" she said to Paige taking all her sisters hands.
