Charmocalypse Part One:
Orbs swirled in the air and formed Paige, Prue and Piper,
"what're we gonna do?" Piper asked,
"fight," Prue replied, they turned around and watched as Hades flamed in,
"the one good thing about him not being a ghost anymore is that our powers don't pass through him," Piper stated, after blasting the evil god backwards with an arrow of fire.
"Don't, try that again," he snarled, throwing the three of them into the wall behind with a dark energy blast, which Prue responded to with three pyrokinetic spheres, which caused him to stumble,
"this isn't over," he hissed, flaming out,
"you have no idea," Prue whispered.
The following morning, Paige sat in the kitchen looking in the Book of Shadows, in-between taking sips of her coffee,
"Paige, we've looked in there a thousand times, there'll be nothing new about Hades in there," Piper said, as she walked in.
"Can't blame a girl for tryin," Paige shrugged, closing the book,
"well, it's Halloween tomorrow, if you didn't remember, the most sacred day of our heritage, and we're going to celebrate it, at P3, I'm having a party there," Piper told her,
"but what if Hades attacks?" Paige asked,
"then I'll freeze the room and you can orb everybody out," she replied, putting a plate of toast in-front of her baby sister, "now eat up," she instructed,
"yes mom," Paige said, sarcastically, making both sisters stifle a laugh.
Meanwhile, Cole entered the Bay Mirror offices and saw both Phoebe and Gabrielle walking towards him,
"he's come to take me for a late breakfast," Phoebe stated,
"what a shame, you see, I'm kinda hungry, and if I'm hungry, it usually means the baby is too, and we don't want our child going hungry now do we," Gabrielle said to Cole, her hands on her five month pregnant stomach.
"Y'know what, I'm going to eat by myself, if you two are hungry, go get yourselves something," he said, walking into the corridor and quickly shimmering out,
"can't I ever have some time alone with my husband?" Phoebe said,
"can't my baby ever spend some time with her daddy," Gabrielle argued.
"It wouldn't surprise me if she wasn't even Cole's," Phoebe commented, then she was struck by a strong, empathic, hit, "what's wrong? afraid your secret's out?"
"you don't know a thing," Gabrielle hissed, storming off, leaving Phoebe to ponder what she had just felt from the fashion columnist.
At 415, Prue arrived at work to find her boss waiting for her,
"Mrs Halliwell, you're late," he stated,
"it's Mrs Halliwell-Trudeau, and I'm only half a minute late," she corrected, walking straight past him and into her office.
At P3, Piper stood behind the bar, counting some glasses,
"I'm sure there's enough there," a voice said, she looked up to see Persephone,
"what're you doing here?" she asked,
"calm down, Hades can't sense me, I'm protected," the ghost replied, gesturing at the crystal pendant she was wearing.
"Good, because I don't him ruining my club," Piper said, suddenly four demons shimmered in, "I spoke to soon," she muttered, vanquishing one of the demons with a pyrokinetic spear,
"we didn't come for you, we came for her," another of them said, pointing at Persephone,
"it looks like when Hades took in the shadow he gained the ability to see past protective amulets," Piper stated, blowing up two demons and vanquishing the remaining one with a destructive icicle.
"Well then I should go," Persephone said, giving Piper a small wave, the middle charmed one waved back as the goddess spirit disappeared,
"I've got so much to do," she groaned, throwing a cardboard witch decoration on the floor,
"let me help," Leo told her, orbing in, he walked over and picked up the decoration, flicking his hand and floating it over to the wall, then manually sticking it on,
"thanks, you're my hero," Piper said, kissing him on the lips.
In the Olympian Underworld, Hades sat on his throne, Cronus and Rhea stood on either side of him, while The Source's Seer stood opposite,
"not serving me to my satisfaction is what got your old leader killed," he told her,
"The Source was a fool," The Seer stated.
"How are you coping with the shadow?" Rhea asked,
"I can cope with anything," Hades hissed, glaring at her with his black eyes,
"my apologies," she said,
"Seer, show me the location of my love, show me Persephone," the evil god ordered. The Seer's eyes rolled over and became plain white, she stayed like that for several moments before returning her eyes to normal,
"I am sorry my liege, I cannot find the one you want," she told him,
"find her!" he exclaimed, his head darted forward and he launched a fire ball at her with fury, she screamed as she burst into flames,
"sir, would you like me to find you another clairvoyant demon?" Cronus asked,
"no, I have a Seer in mind," he replied, leaning back in his throne, a wicked smile settling on his lips.
Back at the manor, Paige sat in a circle of candles, her eyes were white glows and a golden aura surrounded her,
"what're you doing?" Kyle asked, walking in, she didn't answer, instead she began to hover a above the floor, leaving a trail of light in the air. Kyle ran over to her and tried to break her from the trance she appeared to be in,
"Paige, Paige," he said her name numerous times, then decided to try and shake her out of it, but was blasted away by a partially invisible beam. Paige slowly moved back down to the floor, the aura vanishing and her eyes becoming normal again, she went over to Kyle,
"I'm sorry," she apologised, in a childish voice,
"what were you doing?" he asked, as he got up,
"trying to get in touch with my inner angel," she replied.
"What d'you mean?" the federal agent questioned,
"the spell I was using is supposed to bless you with the magical energies of Aurora, the highest of the angelic priestesses, but only angelic beings can get it to work, and I was hoping that the return of my orbing power might help me qualify as an angelic being, but it looks like I'll need to be completely returned of my whitelighter status to do it," Paige explained.
"Why did you want to be blessed by her?" Kyle asked,
"because her blessing is said to magnify your powers, and I thought I could do with a bit of magnification when the time comes to battle Hades again, especially now that he's absorbed the shadow," she replied,
"oh, well is there any way for you to get back your other whitelighter powers?" Kyle said,
"I don't know, I only got my orbing one back because we needed a quick escape from Hades, and the Elders didn't want their precious charmed ones to end," Paige stated.
In Mount Olympus,
"Paige is right, she will need her whitelighter powers when the time comes to face Hades, if only to help heal one of her sisters, but she will, we need to get in touch with the Elders," Zeus said,
"I'll get right on it," Ares said, vanishing in a fiery orange flare.
"Zeus, what is happening about my daughter?" Demeter asked,
"Persephone shall do what Persephone wants," he replied, "as long as she sticks near Piper or one of us she'll be fine," he stated, Demeter could only agree.
Back at P3, Piper smiled at the Halloween decorations she and Leo had just put it,
"it looks great," he said,
"it does," she agreed, "thanks to you,"
"you did most of it," he said, as he put his hands on her waist,
"stop being so modest," she told him, playfully slapping his arm, he moved his hands down slightly as they came together for a kiss.
Meanwhile, Paige and Kyle were lying on her bed, kissing, when orbs formed Sandra in the corner of the room,
"don't you knock?" Paige asked, as she and Kyle looked over at the Elder,
"we need to see you, it's about your whitelighter powers," Sandra told her, completely ignoring the question. Paige got up off the bed and walked over to Sandra,
"can you give me a lift up there?" she asked, glancing up, Sandra nodded and took Paige's hand, orbing them out.
They orbed into the Elder's realm,
"Paige, good to see you again," Zola said, though it was obvious he didn't mean it, Sandra stepped over and stood at her fellow Elder's side,
"I don't like fake people, and I don't like Elders, so you don't want to know what I think about fake Elders," Paige said, folding her arms.
"Okay, well we just brought you up here to say, that even though it wasn't our idea, we are returning your whitelighter magic," Zola informed her, she just nodded, no thank you, no nothing, as in her opinion, and the entire families, her whitelighter abilities shouldn't have been stripped to begin with. Sandra made a gesture in the air, causing orbs to appear and enter Paige,
"I'll be going now," the witchlighter said, orbing out.
The next day, Piper had cooked a special breakfast for the kids, pancakes with monster faces created out of chocolate sauce, as it was Halloween, all except Charlotte, who, at only eight months, was still eating baby mush.
"I can't wait until tonight," Paige said, walking in, "I've got my costume all ready,"
"what are you coming as?" Piper asked,
"a fairy, I thought it would be fitting, what about you?" she replied,
"Persephone has given me one of her dresses, it's beautiful, I'm going as a princess from Ancient Greece," the middle charmed one told her.
That afternoon, Prue was in her Halloween costume, she was supposed to be lady devil and was wearing black leather pants, a red, tight, leather, bra, stiletto red boots, red devil horns, and a long, furry, black, coat, she was also holding a red devil fork. Andy was also dressed, he was a knight, fully dressed in silver armour and holding a shield, with a sword in his belt, which was actually real. The couple were both trying to calm down the kids from a sugar rush, after Paige had left the trick or treat bowl, filled with candy, on the table and they had got to it. Karis, who was dressed as a wicked witch; wearing a black dress, a black pointed hat and black shoes, ran away from her uncle, laughing, while Grace, who was dressed as Minnie Mouse with big, black, circular, ears on a hair band, a white-spotted red dress and yellow shoes, gave in, as she was the most sensible of the cousins, letting Prue sit her on the couch. Patrice's costume was Aphrodite, and she was wearing a little white toga and long, blonde, wig, which made the one year old look even more adorable, when Andy came close to grabbing her she orbed out, but trying to hide by orbing into the cupboard was pretty stupid as her giggle gave away her location. Charlotte, however, was still sucking away on the white chocolate mouse Karis had given her from the candy bowl, the youngest of the Halliwell children was dressed as a little princess, with a plastic, gold, crown, a red and gold dress, and little red shoes.
"Gotcha," Prue grinned, as she finally caught Karis and sat her on the couch in-between Patrice and Grace, it was only then that she and Andy spotted Charlotte sitting by herself, covered in what she hadn't eaten of her chocolate mouse.
Upstairs, Paige was in her bedroom, her fairy costume was made up of a short, glittery, blue, dress and small-heeled blue shoes, her strawberry-blonde hair was also filled with glitter and was in three braids, a sparkly, silver, toy, wand in her hand. She smiled when she saw Kyle step into the room, dressed as a fireman, with the complete outfit,
"I've come to put out a fire," he said,
"but there's no fire here," Paige played along,
"well then you must be what's so hot," he grinned, a seductive smile on his face.
At the penthouse, Cole, who was dressed as Elvis, tucked up the collar of his black shirt and made sure his black wig, complete with the curl up at the front, was right, before getting into the white, 'Elvis', suit, this costume hadn't been his idea, it had been Phoebe's. The Angelic Seer herself was dressed as catwoman, wearing a tight, black, all-in-one, outfit, which had a small slit across the chest to show some cleavage, her hair was pulled up into a black, cat, mask.
In Piper's and Leo's bedroom, the middle charmed one was wearing one of Persephone's togas, it was lilac, low-cut, had no straps/sleeves, and was all held together by a thin, gold, link at the top. Her brunette hair was in loose curls with one side pinned back slightly with a gold hairpin, she wore lilac stilettos, gold hoop earrings and a gold heart pendant, with gold bangles on each wrist. She smiled when orbs appeared behind her and formed Leo, who was dressed as James Bond in a black tuxedo and gun in his inside pocket, except the gun was a water gun filled with a potion which gave the same effect as Piper's blowing up power. He put his hands on her waist and began to plant kisses on her neck, then she turned and their lips met in a passionate lock.
That night, the party was in full swing and there was yet to be a demon attack, so the adults were all having a good time while the kids had fun at Magic School, Gabrielle and Victor had turned up, being the happy couple, but Prue was sure this was just an act, Gabrielle was dressed as an angel in a white dress with white wings, her costume was actually quite ironic as she was nothing like an angel, and Victor was Frankenstein. Piper was walking through the crowd, with her drink, when there was a white glow and Persephone appeared, Piper gasped when she realized the risk of exposure, Persephone mouthed something to her and disappeared. The middle charmed one went into the backroom and locked the door,
"I know you're here," she stated, glancing up at the ceiling, Persephone materialised out of bright lights.
"You can't just come to me in the middle of a big crowd, you could have exposed magic," Piper said,
"I'm sorry, but I needed to get your attention, I've just been attacked by Hades' minion, he's knows I'm around, and anyways, there was no exposure risk as I've cast a spell on myself which stops me from being seen by mortals," Persephone explained. Suddenly, two demons shimmered in, Piper froze them straight away,
"they've come for me," Persephone stated,
"I know, and I've got a plan," Piper said, "you get out of here," she instructed,
"but they'll kill you," Persephone said,
"not if they think I'm you," the middle charmed one said,
"what?" the ghostly goddess asked.
"We look the same, I'm wearing one of your dresses, I'm pretty sure that will be enough to trick them," Piper replied,
"you'll need my powers to trick Hades," Persephone told her, a cluster of light exited Persephone's spiritual form and entered Piper.
"Good luck," Persephone said, vanishing from sight, Piper gestured and the demons unfroze,
"your husband's waiting for you," one of them said, having obviously fallen for the plan, they grabbed Piper's arms and shimmered out.
They shimmered into the Olympian Underworld and let go of Piper,
"my liege, we have retrieved your Queen," they said,
"that cannot be her, my beloved Persephone is a spirit, this is a corporeal witch, it must be the charmed one who looks the same," Hades growled, Piper swallowed with fear,
"but we're positive, we can feel her great magic," one of the demons said, Hades stepped forward off his throne and caressed Piper's face,
"it is true," he murmured, seemingly amazed, he moved closer, and, much to Piper's disgust, planted a single kiss on her lips.
"Should I find the dark priest so that you may remarry?" Rhea asked, Hades nodded,
"yes, and Cronus, go get me my new Seer, you know who I want," he said, the Titans both bowed to their ruler before shimmering out. Hades made a gesture in the air and a second throne appeared next to his own,
"a gift for you, every Queen needs a throne," he said, "and a crown," he added, waving his hand by Piper's face and making a gold and diamond tiara appear on her head, then he plucked her hairpin from her hair and tossed it to the ground, "beautiful," he smiled, taking her hand in his and leading her up to her throne, before taking a seat on his own, "leave us," he ordered the guards, they bowed and shimmered out.
Back at P3, Phoebe was in the toilets, putting on some more lipgloss, when she saw the reflection of Cronus in the mirror,
"surprise," he smirked. The Angelic Seer turned and levitated into the air, swiping her stiletto black boots across his face, creating a slash in his flesh, as the got back down to the floor and leapt towards her, grabbing her by the waist and lifting her up onto his shoulder, shimmering out. Just seconds after this Paige walked in and accidentally stood on Phoebe's lipgloss not noticing it,
"whoops, looks like I'll just have to buy her a new one," she said, walking over to the sinks and finding Phoebe's bag there, "Phoebe?" she called, checking all the cubicles to see that they were empty. She glanced around the room until she spotted a drop of blood on the floor,
"it looks like somebody's had a fight," she stated, running back into the main part of the club.
Prue, Andy, Leo, Cole and Kyle were sitting in the alcove where they usually all sat, when Persephone appeared in-between Prue and Leo,
"Piper is pretending to be me and has gone down to the Olympian Underworld, she has my powers so she's safe, but if Hades succeeds in remarrying her, well it'll just be marrying for them actually, remarrying if it was me, anyway, if he does marry her then she'll turn evil," she told them.
"We need to go and get her," Leo stated,
"wait, not only will it turn Piper evil but it will also increase Hades' power tremendously, our marriage was one of the other things that made him so strong, and marriage to Piper, with her charmed powers and my goddess powers combined, nobody knows how powerful he'll become," Persephone said, they all looked to see Paige run over to them.
"I think a demon has took Phoebe," she said,
"Hades, but why would he need Phoebe?" Prue asked,
"it's always good for a demon to have a Seer at his request, especially if the demon's super powerful," Leo replied,
"we should go to the manor and get some supplies, then we'll go face Hades," Andy said, they all agreed,
"I should be getting back to Mount Olympus, without my powers I can't hold myself I the mortal world for long," Persephone said, fading from sight, while the others went up the stairs and left P3.
To be continued…..
