Just in case there is any confusion: in this chapter the Wyatt and Chris written about are the ones from this world i.e. Wyatt is evil and Chris is good, and they are in the parallel world except for the last part where it is the good Wyatt in this world written about; and all of the Leo, Piper, Phoebe and Paige written about are the one's from this world i.e. they're all good, but they are still in this world……Did that confuse you even more! I can't explain things very well! Never mind if it doesn't make sense; the same thing is happening in both worlds.

Chapter 11: A New Plan
Previously:
The two Wyatts stared at each other for a moment, through the mirror before evil Wyatt spoke. "I said I would get him on my side…"
"…one way or another…" finished good Wyatt.
"…and I will…"
"…even if this…"
"…is how I have to do it."
The triquetra glowed blue and opened into a swirling portal. Wyatt walked confidently through the portal and faded from sight. "I'll see you soon little brother" promised Wyatt, "And you'll be evil, the way I always wanted you to be."
"I liked us working together." he admitted, "But it doesn't really matter. I mean, when I go back you're still gonna be evil. It feels like all you've shown me is what we can't have."
"But we can have this." contradicted Wyatt, "To make all this real in your world all you have to do is join me; or, well, my opposite to be more precise."
"Hear these words, hear the rhyme,
Open this portal through space and time
Let my powers cross the line
Switch my essence through the air"
"What have you done to Chris? He's evil isn't he? What did you do to him?" Leo demanded furiously.
Chris gasped as the four figures became fully formed. His gaze had first fallen on Leo but before he could say something contemptuous to him he had seen the other three figures. The sight of Phoebe and Paige stopped him in his tracks but it was the sight of the fourth person that made his heart skip a beat.
"Mum?" he whispered.
"You did this." Wyatt spat at Leo, "You summoned them back from the dead. Why?"
"Because as you pointed out only witches can cast spells and as I realised only the power of three can content with you or Chris." Leo replied.
"Hear these words we three witches cry,
Across to another world shall our voices fly,
Let Chris return to who he is,
Reverse his morality, return him his."
Wyatt glanced at the portal and noticed that it was almost closed. "Hate to cut this family reunion short." he told them catching hold of Chris's arm, "But I'm not about to give up now. So…"
Chris spun around and desperately aimed a punch at Wyatt but Wyatt ducked it and dove at Chris, their combined weight causing them to fall through the portal.
"Piper. Piper listen to me." instructed Phoebe, "You did not fail them. You are not responsible for Wyatt's actions."
"I'm his mother." replied Piper tearfully, "I'm supposed to protect my children. But now Wyatt is evil and Chris is in danger. What kind of parenting is that? If I hadn't had died, I could have been there for them more, I could have…"
"You could have what?" cut in Paige, helping a now conscious Leo to his feet, "Piper you did everything you could; you gave those boys all the love in the world. But in the end it's our own actions that determine who we are. Wyatt made a choice to be who he is; it's nobody's fault but his."
Leo nodded in agreement, trying to ignore his pounding head. "Piper, you were the perfect mother for out sons." he stated gently, "and now is not the time to give up. It's not over. We have to help Chris."
"How?" asked Paige, "Go through after them?"
"I'm not sure. I don't think that would be a good idea." replied Leo, "We may have to actually do something over there that might risk shifting the balance. I'm assuming Wyatt knows what he's up to and can manipulate both worlds without risking that but I'm afraid we know so little that it's too big of a risk."
"So we go after the Wyatt and Chris in this world?" guessed Phoebe.
Leo nodded. "Piper do you think you can scry for them?" he asked.
In reply Piper walked over to the desk to search for a map and crystal. 'I promise I won't fail you Chris' she thought.
"Well they're not gonna think of looking for us here." remarked Chris sarcastically, wincing slightly at the effects of one of Wyatt's energy balls as he moved his shoulder. He looked round the attic of the Halliwell manor. The place was still a museum he noticed although looking out of the window showed the cleaner, safer, good world that his brother's good self had shown him.
"Shut up." snapped Wyatt, touchily, from his position flipping through the pages of the Book of Shadows on it's pedestal. Wyatt had had to throw a few minor energy balls to impress upon his brother that he was not leaving, but now was looking through the pages of the Book looking for anything that might help him.
"This Book shows potential." he muttered, referring to the fact that in this world the Book was evil, as had the sisters been.
Chris mentally shuddered as he considered the spells that would be in there. Century's worth of powerful evil magic was not something that Chris wanted Wyatt to be let loose with.
Chris turned round to watch Wyatt but he laughed as his eyes noticed the slight desperation in Wyatt's attitude.
"You have absolutely no idea what you're gonna do next, do you?" he mocked, "After all you've done your plan still hasn't worked and now you've run out of ideas. When will you get it? I will never turn evil Wyatt. Not for you; not for anyone."
Wyatt froze for a second in anger but forced himself to ignore Chris and concentrate on the spell he was seeing in front of him. "Got it." he hissed triumphantly ripping the page out, then looking up at Chris he continued, "You're wrong, little brother. I haven't run out of ideas; in fact I have a perfect plan right here."
"What…" Chris started to ask.
"Uh uh. Don't ask." Wyatt directed, "The only problem is I need to leave here to carry it out and if I do then I somehow don't think that you'll be here when I get back."
"Damn right." muttered Chris.
"Soo…" began Wyatt,
"In the name of the Halliwell line,
Surrender to this power of mine,
Make my brother fast asleep,
Until I wake him from slumbers deep."
Chris had opened his mouth to speak but as Wyatt's spell took effect he slumped to the floor, asleep.
Wyatt smiled in satisfaction and orbed out. Here, the sisters would be evil but the spell would still work nevertheless and Leo shouldn't be a too hard a problem to overcome.
"Got them." announced Piper tersely, peering at where the crystal had landed on the map. "They're at the manor."
"The manor?" questioned Paige in amazement.
"Is the Book of Shadows here?" asked Leo suddenly as a thought hit him.
"I haven't seen it." replied Phoebe, "Why? Does that mean…"
"That Wyatt has it?" finished Leo, "Yes. If it's not here then he must have it. Probably why they're at the manor; it's where your magic works the strongest."
"Ok then, lets go." proposed Paige.
"Wait…" interrupted Piper, "the crystal…it's moving!"
Phoebe, Paige and Leo turned to watch as the crystal began spinning again. Suddenly it dropped and the string went taut.
"It's pointing here!" exclaimed Piper.
"Who were you scrying for?" asked Leo slightly apprehensively.
"Well, I tried Chris but I couldn't get a read on him." began Piper as Phoebe and Paige gestured for her to get to the point, "So I tried scrying for Wyatt instead."
"So you were scrying for Wyatt when you found them." interpreted Paige.
"But…but then that…that must mean he's here!" blurted out Phoebe, "Wyatt's here."
"Wyatt's here?" frowned Paige, glancing round the room, "I don't see him…" her voice trailed off as she looked at the doorway.
"Wyatt." acknowledged Leo quietly turning to face the tall, calm figure standing in the doorway.
"Dad." returned Wyatt, "Mum. Aunt Phoebe. Aunt Paige." Wyatt nodded to the room. "I'm afraid this is time to say goodbye."
