A/N. So sorry for the wait, I knew what I wanted to happen overall in this chapter, but I had a bit of trouble writing it, though I think you'll like it. I decided to split this chapter up, so it'll be this chapter and next chapter with the wedding, and I'm toying with the idea of extending it to another chapter! Anyway, on with the replies-
Peanut2lb: Glad you liked it! Piper hasn't really had a fun time in this fic so far has she? lol But when it turns Paige-centred she'll be able to step back and let the others take all the possessing and magical misfortunes! I think you'll like the wedding! I hope you'll like the wedding!
Princess Pinky: Glad you liked it! Glad you liked the storyline! The reflector demons were a last minute thing, I needed some kind of demon in the chapter and they just popped into my head! You'll see more about the Phoebe/Cole/Baby issue later on!
Jessica: Glad you liked it! I'm so glad you liked it so much!
The-Cheese-Fairy: Glad you liked it! I made you say 'poor Phoebe'-gasp- lol! Their baby issue will be lasting until chapter twenty-thirty-something, that's when they'll decide on something to help them deal with it! Yeah, it was kinda sad they killed Kyle, but the episode still rocked- I never usually say that word but you've got me saying it lol! This Thursday's episode is also gonna be super cool, I'm positive of it!
Something Charmed, Something New, Something Evil, Something Blue:
Prue, Paige and Phoebe stared at Piper, she was trying on her wedding dress and looked absolutely perfect, utterly beautiful.
"Guys, Artemis has been found as stone, you should come check it out," Andy said, from the other side of the door,
"I never wanna take this off," Piper told them, looking at her self in the full-length mirror,
"well you're gonna have to if we're gonna find this stone demon before your wedding," Paige said,
"my wedding's tomorrow, I don't think that's likely," Piper stated.
Fifteen minutes later, Piper was out of her wedding dress and she, Prue, Paige, Phoebe, Andy and Leo were in Olympia,
"she had come to help a witch, but they were attacked and now she's like this and the witch is dead," Zeus told them, they were all gazing at Artemis, she was just like a statue.
"Can you fix it?" Prue asked, Zeus shook his head,
"maybe if we had found her sooner, but for now it looks like Tamara will we taking her place," he said,
"who's Tamara?" Phoebe questioned,
"the Angel of Hunt," the king of the gods replied.
"Well maybe she can help us find the demon? as she's next in line for Artemis' job, and she could sense her prey," Piper said,
"it took Artemis a long time to master her sensing ability, Tamara may not be able to work it," Zeus told her,
"it's worth a try," Paige stated.
A few moments later, the charmed ones, Angelic Seer, warlighter and Elder stood facing Tamara. She was British, had bronze-like coloured hair and hazel eyes, her silver mini-dress was long-sleeved and had blue roses created out of white lace across the neckline,
"are you from England?" Phoebe asked,
"yes, Chester to be precise," she replied,
"shouldn't you be like…Greek?" Paige asked, Tamara shook her head,
"the first gods of Mount Olympus were, but since then beings from many nationalities have qualified for the place as gods and angels," she explained.
"Well, we need your tracking ability to find a demon," Piper said,
"I know why you need me, I'm more advanced than you think, I can feel your nerves, your desire to make a quick vanquish, your need to destroy this creature," Tamara told them,
"empathy?" Phoebe said,
"animal-like senses, your feelings are radiating off you with your body heat," the angel replied.
In the underworld, a woman wearing a short piece of material as a toga and gold, heeled, sandals,
"Demetrius!" she called,
"Meta, my love, Cronus said for you not to call us until you have acquired the powers of four whitelighters, we need their ability to orb," a toga-wearing man said, after appearing out of a tornado.
"I know, but I have something better, I turned a goddess, Artemis, to stone, but before I could drain her powers Apollo turned up," she told him,
"have you killed any whitelighters?" he questioned,
"four, they're through there," she replied, pointing over to where four stone beings were.
"Cronus! Rhea!" Demetrius yelled, a spiral of fire formed a man, and a woman materialised from a flash of gold,
"do you have them?" the man asked, Meta nodded,
"we must take them to our lair, I can sense witches, they're on their way," the woman, Rhea, said, then she waved her hand and the foursome, along with the statues, disappeared in a could of yellow light, just as Paige orbed her and Phoebe in, Leo orbed him and Piper in, Andy orbed him and Prue in, and Tamara teleported in.
"We just missed them," Tamara said, teleporting back out, the others orbed after her.
The following morning, the family and Tamara hadn't caught up with Meta, Demetrius, Cronus and Rhea, better known as the Titans, yet, and as it was Piper's and Leo's wedding today they were going to wait until trying again. Prue was getting her camera ready, she had just had to cast the vanishing spell on her pink, one-sleeved, long, silk, bridesmaid dress after Grace threw her breakfast all over it. Paige was chasing Karis around the bedroom, trying to get her dressed, the whitelighter-witch was also wearing her pink bridesmaid dress, except hers had spaghetti straps and was just down to her knees,
"Karis, you need to put your dress on for Auntie Piper's wedding," Paige said, the word 'wedding' made Karis' face light up, she remembered Prue's wedding and how she was a flower girl with Grace, they had lots of fun.
"Me a fower girl?" she asked, Paige nodded and showed her daughter a small basket which was filled with red and white rose petals,
"yay!" Karis exclaimed, running over to her mother.
At Phoebe's and Cole's apartment, the Angelic Seer was putting a pack of tissues in her handbag, weddings always made her teary-eyed, her bridesmaid dress was also pink and was down to her ankles, it had a halter-neck,
"Cole, sweetie, you ready?" she called,
"in a minute," came the reply from the bathroom.
In Piper's and Leo's bedroom, the molecular witch was admiring her brunette curls which hung down from her pinned-up hair, this was topped off with a gold tiara and white veil. Then she slipped into her cream dress, which was a strapless and sleeveless corset-like bodess and flowing skirt, before putting on her stiletto, ankle-strap, shoes and moving over to her jewellery box. She tried a gold crucifix, but decided not to wear it was not only a sign of Christianity, but also a wiccan symbol to repel dark forces, so instead she put a gold, heart-shaped, locket around her neck, inside was a picture of her and Leo. After this she pushed some pearl earrings into her ears and slipped two pearl-studded, gold, bangles onto her right wrist,
"simply beautiful," a voice said from behind, she turned around to see Patty standing there,
"simply charmed," Penny said, appearing beside her daughter, the three shared a hug. Patty, who had become corporeal just like her mother, was dressed nicely for a deceased witch, she was wearing a purple skirt, pastel blue shirt, and purple slip-on shoes. Penny, however, was dressed more ceremonially, her red gown was long-sleeved, high-necked, and gold-lined, a ruby pendant hung around her neck,
"when is Victor getting here?" she asked,
"dad's already here, he's downstairs with Andy, Glenn and Leo," Piper replied.
"Who's the best man?" Patty asked,
"Cole, he and Leo are pretty good friends now," Piper told her,
"Cole? your husband is friends with a demon?" Penny spat,
"yep, and my sister is engaged to a demon," Piper said, with a grin, Penny frowned.
Leo, Andy, Cole and Glenn, all wearing tuxedos, took their places in the garden, where the wedding was taking place, while Paige finished the spell she had written, and out of sparkling lights a scarlet, gold trimmed, carpet created an aisle and chairs materialised either side of it,
"you used a spell to do that?" Glenn asked, Paige nodded,
"the best bit's to come," she said, the youngest charmed one smiled as an ivory arch appeared at the foot of the aisle, yellow and pink roses were intertwined and wrapped around it.
"It's beautiful," Prue admired, leading Paige back into the manor where Phoebe, Patty and Penny were waiting in the kitchen,
"I will go and take me place at the arch," Penny said, walking through into the garden.
"Where are the girls?" Paige asked,
"here," Karis said, walking into with Grace, followed by Victor who was holding Patrice, all three of the children were wearing pastel-pink, lace, gowns, Patty handed Karis and Grace their flower baskets and took Patrice from Victor,
"come on girls," she said, as the wedding march began to play, beginning down the aisle. Prue, Paige and Phoebe followed, clutching their small bouquets of white and pink roses, Victor stood and waited, Piper walked over to his side and they linked arms, careful not to squish her bouquet of red roses, leaving the house and beginning down the aisle.
Just as Leo began his vows a cloud of grey mixed with electric bolts swirled in the air, becoming a man and woman, next to them a prism of flames formed another couple,
"who are they?" Paige asked,
"the Titans," Penny gasped, using her knowledge of demons and witchcraft. Prue waved her hands at the ancient beings, but Rhea deflected it with a golden shield, Patty and Piper both raised their hands to freeze the Titans, but it didn't hold for long. Cronus shot flames from his palms, which Phoebe destroyed with electricity,
"you can't defeat us," he hissed, watching as Meta glared at Leo, turning him to stone, Piper gasped in horror when she saw her concrete fiancé, Demetrius threw out his hands, breaking the wedding arch in two with forks of lightening which sprung from his fingertips. The eldest charmed one formed pyrokinetic spheres around her hands, releasing them at Meta and Demetrius and creating wounds in their chests, Rhea and Cronus joined hands, a mixture of fire, electricity and dark energy shot from their eyes, hitting the floor in-front of Prue, Andy and Paige and making them fly backwards. The Titans then disappeared in their own forms of teleportation,
"what the hell was that?" Paige groaned, brushing some dirt from her dress,
"that, was my wedding being ruined," Piper replied, storming off into the house and throwing her veil to the floor while doing so, Penny said a quick spell and Leo returned to normal, they all turned their attention back to the house, where they heard the front door slam,
"what do we do?" Glenn asked,
"Patty, Victor, go after Piper, Prue, Andy and Leo, go to Mount Olympus and see if you can find anything out, Paige, Phoebe, Cole, go the underworld and see if you can get anything there, Glenn, you entertain the girls while I make some potions," Penny instructed, they all nodded in agreement.
Not much later, Piper was sitting in P3, sipping at a glass of spring water,
"sweetie, we've been looking for you," Patty said, walking down the stairs to where Piper was sat at the bar, followed by Victor.
"I didn't want to be found," the middle charmed one said, heading towards the backroom,
"Piper wait," Victor told her, she stopped in her tracks and turned to face her parents,
"I don't want to talk, it's obvious me and Leo weren't meant to be," she said.
"I don't believe that, and deep down neither do you, you and Leo couldn't love each other more, through everything you've come out together, Dan, the Elders, it's all just made you stronger as a couple, your love conceived a beautiful little girl, and now you have another one on the way, nothing is more powerful than true love Piper, not even the charmed ones, and you and Leo have proved that, don't throw it away because of an attack, if you did you wouldn't have made it this far," Patty said, tears formed in Piper's eyes,
"I hope they're tears of happiness," Victor snapped in Patty's ear, jogging over to their daughter.
"Of course they are," Patty said,
"they are," Piper stated, sharing a hug with her parents,
"so is the wedding going ahead?" Victor asked, Piper nodded.
Meanwhile, Paige, Phoebe and Cole stalked through the underworld,
"where are all the demons?" Paige asked,
"the Titans have probably summoned them," Cole explained,
"it's a good job the Source isn't here, I don't think he'd be very happy about some demon gods taking all his evil creatures," Phoebe said,
"unless he was the one who freed the Titans," Cole said.
"Clever Belthazar, very clever," a voice said, they spun around to see the Source standing there, clapping his hands slowly and sarcastically, Phoebe levitated and the humming of electricity filled the air as silvery sparks circled her body, she flicked her fingers out and the bolts darted straight towards the Source, throwing him into the wall behind.
"Look who's back," the demon king snarled, launching a fire ball at the trio, Paige flung out her hands as if to protect herself and a shield of orbs formed around her hands, causing the fire ball to bounce back at the Source,
"why aren't I dead?" the youngest sister asked,
"a new power," Cole replied, hitting the Source with an energy ball.
"Where've you been all this time?" Phoebe questioned, zapping the evil leader,
"searching for this, it's what I used to bring them back," he replied, pulling a leather-bound book from his robes, the Angelic Seer snatched it from his hands and looked at the symbol of the front, it was a pentagram.
"Hey, I recognise that from Richard's and Olivia's library," Paige said,
"yes, of course they tried to stop me but I took care of them," the Source told her,
"what did you do?" she spat, grabbing him by the throat,
"killed them," he laughed, flaming out of her hold.
"I need to go there," Paige stated, orbing out,
"lets keep looking," Cole said, taking Phoebe's hand and shimmering them to another part of the underworld.
Paige orbed in to find Richard and Olivia were perfectly alright,
"thank god you're okay, who healed you?" she said,
"what? we didn't need to be healed," Olivia replied,
"but the Source said he killed you after he stole that book from your library," Paige said, Olivia shook her head.
"He did come, but fortunately Kali gave me a premonition of him coming and we were prepared, although one of his demons shimmered in while we were battling him and took our Book of Shadows," Olivia informed her,
"why was there a spell to resurrect the Titans in your Book of Shadows?" Paige asked, feeling slightly afraid of what the answer might be,
"because my grandfather tried to do it once, but he didn't have enough power, he wanted to get them to destroy the Callaways forever, leaving us victorious in the end," Richard replied.
"Oh, so he said that as a distraction, which means he's planning something and needed me out of the way…Karis!" Paige exclaimed, when she realized his plan, then she dissolved into blue-white lights.
She orbed into the manor to find Glenn unconscious and Penny pinned to the wall by darklighter arrows which were through her sleeves,
"oh god, where's the kids?" Paige asked, waking Glenn up and psychokinetically-orbing the arrows into the middle of the Sahara Desert.
"The Source took them, there was nothing we could do, he brought a darklighter and a psychic demon with him, the psychic demon messed with my mind so I wouldn't use my powers," Penny replied,
"we need to get them," a voice said from the doorway, they turned to see Piper with Victor and Patty.
"Yes we do," Prue agreed, as Andy orbed them in, shortly followed by Leo, then Cole shimmered him and Phoebe in too,
"but you can't fight like that," Aphrodite stated, materialising next to them with Athena and Ares. The Goddess of Love and Beauty waved her hand, Piper's dress changed into cream leather pants, a white, low-cut, long-sleeved, top, and stiletto cream boots,
"wow," she said, as her tiara disappeared and her hair fell past her shoulders, becoming wavy. Next, Prue's dress transformed into pink pants, a black vest and black boots, Paige was also now wearing pink pants and black boots, except her black top was a sweater, Phoebe's dress became pink pants and a black t-shirt, with black boots to top it off.
"Now you're dressed to kill," Aphrodite grinned,
"now it's my turn to help," Athena said, clicking her fingers and making weapons appear in each of the sisters' hands; two athames to Prue, an axe to Paige, a spear to Phoebe, and a sword to Piper.
"Ladies, I have the best gifts," Ares said, cockily, making them all glow,
"what did you do?" Phoebe asked,
"super speed and super strength, you'll need them," he replied, and then the three gods faded from sight.
In the Olympian Underworld,
"if we are going to revive Hades we will need to be united in power," Rhea said, the large crowd of demons nodded,
"it will not be easy, especially with the charmed ones on our tail, but I believe we can succeed," Cronus told them,
"it looks like we're standing on your tail now," Prue said, the Titans, demons, and the Source glared at the Halliwell sisters,
"attack!" Cronus bellowed,
"now!" Prue yelled, the witches and Titans charged at each other. Piper swung her sword at Meta,
"that was for turning my fiancé to stone," she snapped, stabbing the demonic goddess in the stomach,
"and I'll take great pleasure in turning you to stone," Meta hissed, blowing Piper into the wall with a stream of magical wind. Paige used her new power of orb-deflection to protect herself from the lightening Rhea was shooting at her, while Phoebe dodged the tornados of pure darkness Demetrius was sending towards her. Cronus tossed fire balls at Prue, who destroyed them with pyrokinetic spheres,
"don't just stand there, they need our help," the Source told his demons,
"no!" Cronus roared, keeping the Source and demons away with a barrier of flames. Phoebe threw her spear like it was a javelin, piercing Demetrius' shoulder, Piper raised her hands to explode Meta, but got a surprise when Tamara teleported in in-front of her and massed out, letting an energy ball Meta had thrown hit her instead of Piper.
"Oh god, are you okay?" Piper asked, running to the angel's side, the energy ball had been too strong and severely harmed Tamara, even though she was massed out,
"keep fighting," Tamara whispered, a trail of blood leaked from her mouth as she spoke, Piper stood up and gathered all of her energy, running at Meta with the supernatural speed Ares had given them, and using her power. Meta screamed in agony as she exploded into black sparks and flames,
"no!" Demetrius exclaimed, seeing his lover die.
"If you want to be useful make the sacrifice," Cronus told the Source, Prue looked up to see a cage containing Karis, Grace and Patrice hovering over a pool of blood, she was about to run forward when she saw Piper was ahead of her and had blown through the wall of fire Cronus had created, sprinting up a small mount of rocks pulling the cage from the air,
"stupid witch," Cronus growled, shooting an energy blast at Piper, who had set the cage on the floor and was trying to unlock it, forcing her off the rocks and into the blood,
"PIPER!" the other sister screamed in unison.
To be continued…
