Okay, here we go. I just want to tell you guys that I got the first chapter of Patience done, so as soon as this is over I'll be able to post it. Anyways, thanks for the reviews…

Prince Halliwell- Well, Paige is my favorite, so I kind of have to make her the hero, you know? Thanks!

Fire Gazer- Thanks!

The-Cheese-Fairy- Haha! I bash Phoebe just for your enjoyment. Thanks!

s.halliwell- Yeah, Piper is pretty stubborn. Thanks!

"Okay, here's the plan," Paige started when Zola, the Angel of Destiny, and the Angel of Life were there. "We're going to gather in the basement. You guys will be hiding out over there, waiting for the Death and Piper to show up. Cole will go to the Bringers' lair, lure them back up here, and they're going to kill me. Then, Prue and Pheebs will kill them with the potions. Death and Piper should arrive a few minutes after I'm dead, at which point you will explain to Death that he's interfering with the plans and then Life will put Piper's spirit back in her body. Everybody know what's going on?" Paige asked. Everyone nodded. "Okay Cole, get to it." Cole shimmered out.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Prue asked, checking for about the fifth time now.

"Actually, there's been a change of plans," Zola said with an evil grin.

"What?" Phoebe asked.

"You'll all be participating in this," the Angel of Life said. The three of them transformed into Bringers.

"How the hell did you do that?" Paige asked.

"We killed a few white-lighters and stole their powers. We heard about the witch being dead and we knew you'd be looking for a way to bring her back," the Bringer who had been Zola said.

"So you transformed into Zola and came to us with a plan," Prue said. The Bringers nodded.

"Now it's time to die. And don't worry about Belthazor. We'll make sure to kill him when he gets back," one said. He formed an energy ball and launched it at Prue, the others doing the same to Phoebe and Paige.

Leo happily walked down the halls of Magic School and into the nursery there to check on the kids. He found them all playing a game of 'Elder, Elder, Demon' (A/N: That's a magical play on 'Duck, Duck, Goose' if you didn't notice) with some of the other magically inclined children.

"Daddy!" Parker exclaimed, running over to his father.

"Hey buddy! Are you guys having fun?" he asked.

"Yes, Uncoo Lee," Patience said. Leo grinned. He heard one of the older kids yell from across the room.

"I can too conjure things!" the girl, named Leah, said.

"Cannot," the boy, Ethan, teased.

"Can too!" Leah yelled.

"Cannot!" Ethan yelled back.

"Watch," Leah said. She closed her eyes and concentrated. When she opened them, there was demon standing there. He looked around, confused for a moment, but then smiled and formed an energy ball. Leah screamed. Leo looked around, trying to find something to kill the demon with, but there was nothing in the nursery. He ran up and quickly orbed the two kids across the room.

"You'll pay for that," he said, forming an energy ball and launching it at Leo. It hit him in the shoulder and he fell backwards.

"Hey!" Percy yelled, shooting a stream of fire at the demon. He dodged.

"You must be the Archers. You'll be useful," he said, shimmering next to them and shimmering out.

"No!" Leo yelled, looking at the spot where his son and nieces and nephew once were.

"This wand thing really comes in handy," Frisco noted as he, Tristan, and Lyra moved through the basement of a house.

"Yeah, now we know how the Bringers found out about so many Nexuses," Tristan said.

"I can't believe we haven't even run into one yet," Lyra said.

"Don't be so sure," a voice growled from behind them. They turned around to see a Bringer. As they looked around, they found themselves surrounded by them.

"Oh crap," Tristan said. Frisco went solid and Lyra went invisible, each taking out a few. Tristan went hand to hand with one. She felt Lyra get knocked out with her power. It was just enough distraction for the Bringer to get a good punch in and knock her out as well.

"Tristan, Lyra!" Frisco yelled, seeing that they were both unconscious. He screamed at them, fighting with all of his might until they were all vanquished. All except for one. The last Bringer pulled out his own wand and ran to the center of the room, watching as it glowed green. Then he shimmered out. Frisco ran over to his sisters, checking their pulses. He was relieved to see that they were both still strong. He used his skill as a white-lighter to heal them. They both groaned and sat up just in time to see a new wave of Bringers shimmer in.

Cole shimmered back into the basement of the manor with a grin on his face and a feeling of accomplishment. He almost tripped over the body at his feet. He looked down, confused, to see his wife lying there. He kneeled down and checked her pulse. There was none. He saw Paige and Prue lying there, dead as well. He roared ferociously and shimmered out.

Piper sighed after just retuning from taking another spirit to the afterlife. This was about her tenth one that day and she was getting bored.

"How do you do this all day?" she asked. Death grinned.

"It's my job," he said simply.

"Don't you get bored?" she asked.

"Of course I do, but there's nothing I can do about it. This is the first break I've had in years," Death replied.

"Well, who's next?" Piper asked. Death looked down at his list and his eyes went wide, seeing three very interesting names on it.

"Oh this should be good. Come on Piper, it's time for your true test," he said, misting them out.

Leo orbed into the manor to find it empty. He ran up to the attic to find Piper's body still in place and being preserved by the dwarves, but no sign of the girls. 'The basement' he thought. He ran down and into the basement, shocked to find three bodies there. He tried healing the nearest one, Prue, but found it impossible.

"Zola!" he yelled. The Elder orbed down.

"Yes?" he asked.

"They need help. Bring them back to life, this isn't their destiny," Leo said, tears in his eyes. Zola's eyes went wide and he made a gesture. The Angels of Destiny and Life appeared beside him.

"We need to bring all four witches back," Zola informed them. As if on cue, Death and Piper misted in. Piper's eyes went wide at the scene.

"No," she said, backing away.

"Oh yes," Death said, ignoring the other people around him.

"No, I'm not taking my sister's spirits. I'm not!" Piper yelled.

"Death!" the Angel of Life roared. Death looked up and rolled his eyes.

"Oh, now what?" he asked.

"You are interfering with these girls' destiny. You must return all of their spirits now. If you refuse, they will be taken from you and you will be taken from this position and we'll find someone else to do the job," the Angel of Destiny said.

"Excuse me? How am I supposed to do my job when you're taking the spirits back?" he asked.

"What is your decision?" Zola asked. Death sighed.

"Very well," he said, waving his hand. Piper's spirit went away. "Their spirits are all in their bodies, all you have to do is bring them back." With that he misted out. The Angel of Life emitted a white glow from his hands that filled at first just the room, and then the whole house. When it receded, Prue, Phoebe, and Paige began to stir.

"Oh god, my head hurts," Paige groaned.

"What happened?" Leo asked, helping them up.

"We had a plan," Phoebe said.

"Zola came to us, at least we thought it was Zola, and told us that we needed to come up with a plan to get Piper back. So we did. We were going to lure the Bringers here and get them to kill Paige so that Death would bring Piper here and we could get you guys to bring the two of them back to life," Prue explained.

"When we got down here, the three of you turned into Bringers and we found out that we had been tricked," Paige said.

"We killed two before I got hit. I don't know if Paige got the last one," Phoebe said. Paige nodded.

"We both acted at the same time and we both got hit at the same time," she said.

"Well, even though it went a little haywire, the plan eventually worked out. Let's go see Piper," Leo said. They all went up to the attic to see Piper getting out of her coffin.

"What the hell was I doing in there?" she asked.

"We had the dwarves, sorry, little people, preserve your body," Paige said, receiving a glare from the head dwarf.

"Yeah, we figured we would be able to find a way to get you back," Prue said.

"Well thank god you did, Death was getting on my nerves," Piper said.

"Thank you guys. You saved our asses," Phoebe said.

"For once," Piper muttered.

"Just focus on getting those little ones of yours back," Zola said with a grin and the three of them disappeared.

"What's he talking about?" Piper asked.

"I completely forgot. When we were at Magic School, Leah and Ethan were fighting and Leah conjured a demon. He took the kids," Leo said.

"What?" Prue yelled.

Frisco sat against the wall of the basement, breathing heavily. He and his sisters had fought off wave after wave of Bringers and they were finally done.

"Come on," Frisco said weakly, orbing his sisters out. They reappeared in the manor as Piper was scrying for the kids.

"Oh my god, Frisco!" Paige exclaimed, seeing his bloodied lip and black eye along with his sisters' various cuts and bruises. Leo ran over and healed them.

"What happened?" Prue asked.

"We were in this basement searching for a Nexus and a huge wave of Bringers came in. We vanquished all but one. He used the wand to detect the Nexus there and shimmered out. Then another wave of bringers came in. We vanquished about six waves of Bringers before they finally stopped coming," Frisco explained.

"We did find a lot of Nexuses though," Lyra said, producing a list.

"I can't find them," Piper said.

"Find who?" Frisco asked.

"The kids. A demon took them," Phoebe replied.

"Wait, they're at Magic School," Leo said, a little confused.

"What? How'd they get there?" Paige asked.

"I don't know," he said, orbing out, the others behind him. When they got there, they found the kids there as Leo had said.

"Momma!" Percy yelled, going over to her mother.

"How'd you guys get away from the demon?" Leo asked.

"We kick demon ass," Preston squealed happily. Phoebe stifled a laugh.

"Good job guys," she said, picking up her son.

"Thank god all of this is over," Piper said.

"Where's Cole?" Prue asked.

Cole shimmered back into the manor. He was bruised and battered and looking much worse for wear. He had taken out about twenty Bringers in his rage. He looked up when orbs filled the room and was surprised to see his wife and her three sisters alive and well.

"Phoebe," he said, jumping up to give her a hug.

"Cole, are you okay? You're hurt," Phoebe said, concerned.

"I'm fine. But you weren't last time I checked," Cole said.

"I know. I'll explain everything later. Let's get to bed," Phoebe said, carrying Preston upstairs with Cole right behind her.

"Wow, today really sucked," Paige said.

"You're telling me. I think we should get to be too," Frisco said. Paige nodded and the three of them went upstairs.

"I'm gonna call Andy and see if he's still at work," Prue said. Before she could move, Andy came in the door.

"Hi honey, sorry I'm late. We were kind of busy today," Andy said. Prue smiled.

"Actually, you're right on time," she said, taking him and Patience upstairs.

"Guess we should get to bed too," Piper said. Leo nodded.

"I was worried about you today," he said.

"I know. I guess I'll have to be a little more careful next time," Piper said. They shared a kiss and took Parker upstairs.

Wow, that was such a long chapter compared to what I usually write. Sorry for not writing about the kids killing that demon, but I just didn't want to put anymore demon fighting in here. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. It was one of my better ones. Till next time…
