AN: i forgot to mention in the last chapter that lucille is the central computer for the lucian, in case you didn't get that. aside from that, i don't really have anything else to say.

4 Months later: The crew has awakened from hypersleep.

(dal) "Where the hell are we?" Dallas sat in the control room with the rest of the crew. He scanned through the map trying to figure out where they were. "Who the hell set the damn coordinates."

(gis) "Dallas, what's the problem.?"

(dal) "I can't figure out where we are." Giselle roughly pulled him out of his chair and stared him in the eye.

(gis) "What? Well you're the navigator, so you better figure it out."

(dal) "The, umm, navigational system might be malfunctioning."

(gis) "Lucille, are there any malfunctioning computers in our system?"

(luc) "No captain. But I did detect a problem with the wires in D2 Block."

(gis) "What caused the problem?"

(luc) "I detected some unusual activity on the ship while you were in hypersleep."

(gis) "What kind of activity?"

(luc) "Movement."

(gis) "Was it one of the crew?"

(luc) "No."

(gis) "When was the last time you detected the movement?"

(luc) "Two weeks ago in the airshaft just above D2 Block." Giselle walked over to the radio system on the other side of the room.

"Devon, bring everybody up to the control room. We have a situation."

Manor: Landing:

(leo) "Piper, listen to me. You can't just summon demons unprepared. You said yourself that you don't even know what kind of power he has. "

"Leo, listen to me. We don't have anything else to work from. He's probably the one that blocked Phoebe's premontion and we can't do anything until we know exactly what happened."

"Look you know where Paige is in the future. Why don't you just go and get her?"

"Because, it's way to risky. We don't know exactly where Paige is or what we would be walking into if we did. And we probably wouldn't have our powers. Jesus Leo, I shouldn't have to tell you this. What the hell kind of whitelighter are you anyway?"

"The kind that wants to keep my charges alive. And I don't think you should risk bringing a demon into the house who could do God knows what."

"Well you know what Leo, I don't care what you think. My sister is in trouble and I'm gonna do what I have to do to help her, now move aside."

"No."

"Goddamnit Leo." She flicked her wrists and froze him and walked around him to the attic.

Attic:

(pip) "Alright, did you set up the crystal cage?"

"Yes, and I've finished the summoning spell."

"Good. I have some kick ass potions in case we need them."

"Well, lets do this before we lose our nerve."

(both)

"Magic forces black and white,

Reach out through space and light.

Be he far, or be he near.

Bring us the demon Tigris here."

A whirlwind formed in the cage and revealed Tigris with a bloody athame in his hand. "How dare you summon me witch. What do you want?"

(pip) "We want our sister back, now."

(tig) "I don't know anything about your sister." Phoebe threw in a crystal that shocked Tigris. (pho) "Don't mess with us, we don't have time for your games."

(tig) "I don't know your sister."

(pip) "Yeah right, so the fact that you send a witch to the future at the same time my sister goes missing is just a coincidence?"

(tig) "So, what are you gonna do about it?"

(pho) "We're gonna vanquish your ass." Tigris steps through the crystal cage, it zaps him but he seems unfazed.

(tig)"I'm to strong for you." The sisters back up as he advances on them. He sends them flying into the wall. Then throws the atheme at Piper, hitting her in the chest. He zaps Phoebe with a lightening bolt and then shimmers out, leaving them to die.

(pho) "L, l, l, Leo." Her head rolls to the side as she passes out next to Piper.

Manor: Landing: Leo still stands frozen oblivious as to what has happened upstairs.

Future: The Lucian

Giselle, Ares, Dallas and Devon are in the survellience room scanning the monitors.

(ares) "I don't understand it. I don't see anything here."

(gis) "Keep looking. There has to have been something."

(dal) "I really don't think we're gonna find anything. It might have been a draft from the airvent that blew up some dust or a piece of paper or something. You know how sensitive those monitors are."

(Dev) "I think he's right. It was nothing."

Everyone begins to walk away, except Giselle who continues scanning the ship. Just as they're about to walk out of the room she finds a screen thats only static.

(gis) "Wait, guys look at this."

(dev) "What's wrong with that camera?"

(gis) "I think we found what we're looking for. Dallas, go down to D3 block and see what's wrong with the camera."

He leaves and the remaining three go to the kitchen where Paige, Riley and Gypsy are sitting.

(Gyp) "Did you find anything?"

(Dev) "Only a camera malfunction. Dallas went to fix it."

Time Lapse: 2 hours

Giselle and Ares are in the survellience room. The camera is still malfunctioning.

(gis) "It shouldn't have taken this long."

(ares) "Maybe he found something."

(gis) "Dallas. Are you there?" Pause "Dallas? Are you there? Shit. Where the hell is he?"

(ares) "Maybe we should go look for him."

(gis) "Yeah, I think you're right."

Dun, dun dunnnnnnn. looks like are characters our in a bit of a spot.
