Heya guys! What's up? Let me tell you now, I think this is going to be one of the best chapters of the entire trilogy! I wrote almost the entire thing at my soccer game (because we played two and I was benched for the first one). It's gonna be pretty awesome. By the way, if you feel that there is something that I'm not putting in that I should (like Prue/Andy, Paige/Frisco. Piper/Leo, or god even Phoebe/Cole; or another character, such as the kids or someone else that you just want to read about) please feel free to request it. I will be happy to find a way to integrate it into the next chapter or two. Also, there was a request for powers so here it is…
Prudence (I love that name, it's so funny)- Telekinesis and Astral Projecting
Piper- Temporal Stasis (freezing) and Molecular Combustion (blowing shit up, lol)
Phoebe- Levitating, Premonitions, and Telepathy (I didn't feel like making her an empath)
Paige- Orbing, Telekinetic Orbing, Orb Balls, Sensing, and Multiple Orbing (like she did at
the beach in the last story: check it out if you didn't read it)
Leo- Orbing, Sensing, Healing (the normal white-lighter stuff)
Cole- Shimmering, Fireballs, Belthazar (I consider that beast a weapon)
Frisco- Orbing, Shielding (when he turns into the silver solid guy)
Andy- None (sorry guys, but I like my Andy human and powerless, he's sexy that way!)
Tristan- Orbing, Sensing, Telepathy, Empathy, Sensing Intentions, Mind Reading,
(anything that has to do with the brain)
Lyra- Orbing, Invisibility
Bailey- Orbing, Lightning (it comes out of his hands)
Tara- Orbing, Controlling the Weather (she's your average meteorologist, except for the
fact that she controls the weather instead of predicting it)
Tanner- Orbing, Shooting Ice
Payton- Orbing, Shooting Fire
Autum- Orbing, Killing Things with a Flick of Her Wrist (wouldn't that be nice?)
Patience- Hydrokinesis (meaning that she can shoot water and control it), Control of Sea
Animals, Future Archer of the North
Parker- Controlling Wind (anyone know the technical name for that?), Orbing, Controlling
Birds, Future Archer of the East
Preston- Controlling the Earth, Controlling Animals of the Earth, Shooting Vines (shh, I
didn't tell you that one…), Shimmering (inherited from his father of course),
Future Archer of the West
Persephone- Pyrokinesis (that's contolling not only fire, but lava, and pretty much any
heat source), Orbing, Future Archer of the South
So there you have it. All of the powers and possibly any added ones that I may come up with. Now that I've almost taken up a whole page, let's get onto the reviews. Thank you to those who told me that AU means Alternate Universe. I will no longer be frustrated when I see that in summery. This is sort of AU, as s.halliwell points out, because Prue, Paige, and Andy exist simultaneously.
s.halliwell- Yeah, he'll have a name. You'll see. Thanks for the AU thing.
fanmania- Thanks!
Fire Gazer- Thanks! Parker is cool. Glad you're looking forward to the Andy thing…
Prince Halliwell- I could imagine the Paige/Frisco thing too, only I don't know exactly what Frisco looks like. Well, I hope I answered your question with that long list of powers.
The-Cheese-Fairy- Spectacular? Cool! I knew you would enjoy the boob job thing. Parker is cute. Hey, you may be weird, but you're no more weird than me! I don't know about the whole hot Italian demons with tight t-shirts. Is that football as in American football or football as in soccer? Because I didn't think Italians played American football. Anyways, thanks for the AU. Glad I'm not the only one who couldn't figure it out.
Susan- I thought turning Andy into a demon was a good idea too… obviously or I wouldn't have put it in there. Don't mind me I'm an idiot sometimes…
Who-will-change-the-world- Hey, we must think alike! Just wait, you'll see what I mean. Lucky you! I wish I could go to Italy. And Ireland, and Bitburg, Germany where I was born. It's cool that you could lean the language. It's my favorite one next to French. I wish they taught it here. I do know that "la prova et nel gusto" means "the proof is in the taste". I don't think that will get me anywhere though…
Paige Halliwell- Hey, glad to see you reviewed.
"Do you have a spell?" Andy asked anxiously. He was standing in the center of a circle of candles, waiting to be changed. Phoebe sighed.
"Well, it's not my best work, but…
Make this human demon now
Find a way, don't ask me how
This so he can lend a hand
But change him back on my command" she said. Andy grabbed his stomach and lurched forward. Prue rushed to his side, but jumped back when he let out a ferocious roar. They watched as he transformed into a large, black demon with white tribal markings that much resembled Belthazar.
"Andy?" Prue asked cautiously. The demon growled.
"No, Zortoth," he replied.
"Oh my god," Cole said. Zortoth formed a fireball and threw it at Prue. She dived onto the floor, just missing it. Cole changed into Belthazar and launched his own fireball at Zortoth, but the demon shimmered out before it could hit him.
"What the hell was that?" Prue asked, standing up and brushing herself off. "Why did my husband just try to kill me?"
"Because that's not your husband," Cole said.
"What?" Piper asked.
"It must have been Phoebe's spell. She said to find a way, don't ask her how. It found a way. The spell took the essence of a demon, Zortoth, and put it into Andy's body. I guess you have to be a little more specific next time, honey," Cole said.
"Who the hell's Zortoth?" Prue asked.
"He's a demon that was vanquished a few years ago by the Source. He was sent on a job and failed. He was in the Brotherhood with me. You should be able to find him in the Book of Shadows," Cole explained. Phoebe ran over to the book and began flipping through the pages.
"So what you're saying is, Phoebe switched their souls?" Prue asked through gritted teeth.
"No, Andy's soul is still there, just suppressed by the demon," Leo said. Prue glared at Phoebe.
"Sorry," Phoebe said.
"This could still work though," Paige said, speaking up for the first time. They looked at her questioningly. "Well, if we can somehow convince Zortoth to do what we need him to, then we can quickly change him back to Andy. If he's really in there still, he should remember all of the information that Zortoth finds out."
"Actually, that might work," Frisco said. Cole and Leo nodded.
"Getting Zortoth to do what we want him to will require getting through to Andy though, or else appealing to his power-hungry demon side," Cole said.
"I think that's a job for me," Prue said.
"I don't know, Prue. Zortoth will want to get rid of anything that makes him human. That means you. That means Patience," Leo warned.
"I don't care. I am not losing my husband to that ugly ass demon," Prue said.
"We won't honey. We'll get Andy back," Piper reassured her.
"First we have to find him," Paige said, sitting down at the map. After a few minutes of scrying (A/N: Hey, I got it right this time! Last time I said scribing), she looked up. "I can't find him. He must be in the Underworld."
"I'll find him," Cole said, shimmering out before Phoebe could object.
Prue watched absentmindedly as her daughter played with her cousins. She didn't even notice when Percy set a toy on fire and Patience put it out with her power. She was too busy worrying about Andy.
"Mamma, where dad at?" Patience asked, coming over.
"Daddy's doing something right now, sweetie. He'll be back soon," Prue replied. Patience sensed her mother's distress and put her little arms around Prue's neck, giving her a hug. Prue held her daughter tightly.
"Percy, no!" Paige yelled. Prue and Patience looked up to see a patch of carpet on fire. Patience looked up at her mother, who nodded, and she shot water at it, watching as it extinguished.
"I sowee mamma," Percy said, her lip trembling.
"I know baby, it's okay. Just don't set the carpet or furniture on fire. Aunt Piper's gonna have a fit," Paige said, giving her daughter a hug. Prue smiled. Suddenly Belthazar shimmered in with an unconscious Zortoth. Prue jumped up and the little ones screamed at the two demons. Paige orbed a chair in and Belthazar set Zortoth down on it. He had to jump out of the way of thick green vines that shot past him and tied Zortoth to the chair. They all looked over to see the vines coming from Preston. Cole changed back into himself.
"Good job buddy," he said happily, picking his son up. Preston smiled, knowing that he had done something good.
"What the hell's going on down here?" Piper asked, she, Phoebe, Leo, and Frisco all coming down the stairs. Piper gasped. "What is that?" she asked, horrified.
"That would be the demon I just spent an hour finding," Cole replied, giving her a strange look.
"I know what that is. I mean that," Piper said, pointing to the large burn mark on the carpet. Prue and Paige shook their heads.
"Pewcy do bad, mamma," Parker said.
"I sowee, Aunt Pipew. I no do 'gain," Percy said innocently. Piper couldn't help but smile.
"It's okay. That's why I married the handyman," she said, looking to Leo. He had a grin on his face.
"Listen, I'm gonna try to talk some sense into this demon, so it would help if you guys could clear out," Prue said.
"Isn't that the contradictory statement of the century?" Paige asked with a grin. Cole glared.
"She's kind of right, honey. It is hard to talk sense into you," Phoebe said. Cole rolled his eyes and went upstairs, the others following and leaving Prue and Patience alone with Zortoth.
"Mamma, who dat?" Patience asked.
"That's daddy," Prue replied. Patience gave her a confused look. "It's hard to explain, but a demon took over daddy's body. We're gonna try to get him out though so I need your help, okay?" Patience nodded. They watched as Zortoth began to stir. He opened his eyes and looked around. Noticing that he was captured, he growled and pulled against Preston's restraints, but to no avail. They were too strong.
"Let me out witch, and nobody gets hurt," he said angrily.
"I think you're in no position to make threats. Let me speak to my husband," Prue ordered.
"No," Zortoth said.
"Andy, I know you're in there. You have to fight this. You can do it. Pull through so that you can see Patience again. Look at her," Prue said.
"I'll kill her," Zortoth said, grinning maliciously at the scared little girl.
"I want daddy," Patience said, her eyes hardening.
"Shut up, you little rat," Zortoth spat. Prue punched him in the face.
"You will not speak to my daughter in that manner. Now let me see Andy," Prue said. The demon shook his head. "Fine, since you just proved Paige right, then I'll have to bargain with your power hungry stupid side. If you help us out, we'll make sure you stay on this earth, instead of returning back to the afterlife or wherever the hell you demons go," Prue said.
"And how do I know it's not a trick?" Zortoth asked.
"You don't. But sometimes, good and evil have to work together to survive. If you don't help us, a band of demons is going to kill everyone and everything on this earth. And then you'll be right back where you started before my sister put you in Andy's body. So I suggest you help," Prue said. Zortoth thought for a moment.
"Very well. I'll help you witches, but you must make sure that I can stay on this earth," he said.
"Done," Prue said. She used her power to untie the vines. "You're looking for a group of demons called the Bringers della Morte. We need you to find out how many Nexuses they know about, where they are, when they plan to activate it, and how many demons will be present. Bring this information back to us and you'll have your own body again."
"Fine. By the way, tell Belthazar I'm very disappointed in him. He fell in love with a witch and he's working on the side of good. It's shameful," Zortoth said.
"Well at least you've got one more thing in common. Now go," Prue said. Zortoth shimmered out. "God I can't wait to kill that demon."
I was gonna make this chapter longer, but I decided to cut it up a little. So there you go. What'd ya think? Was it good? I liked it. It was pretty fun to write. So anyways, till next time…
