AN: Still don't own anything...

Everything is covered in a shade of grey, it's dismal, eerie, almost scary. The town looked normal, other than the fact that it was totally vacant. There was not a car on the street, no clerk's in any of the stores, no children playing in the yards. Amy was totally alone, and she was really scared. She had orbed herself all over the world, trying to find any other form of life, and so far hasn't been able to make any progress. She had tried numerous spells, but none of the had yet taken her home. Where was she? This couldn't be her destiny, she told herself over and over. It didnt' end here, she would find a way home. Amy sat down on the street and began to think. There HAD to be a spell that she could use to take her somewhere, she just had to think of it. Amy closed her eyes and began to concentrate, trying to mentally reach out to her brother for help.

MEANWHILE----

"Brian!"

"Clark, what are you doing here?"

"I thought you might come back here, ya know, to look for clues," Clark said to Brian. "I just want to help you Brian, please dont' try to do all this on your own, you have friends."

"I know..." Brian let out. If anyone other than Clark, with his super-hearing were standing there, they wouldn't have heard him. "I'm sorry for the way I've been acting, but my sister is like my light," Brian confessed, "She had the plan, and i carried it out. I don't know where to start, and I guess I'm really scared of doing something wrong, and making things worse."

"Worse?" Clark questioned, wondering how Brian felt he could make things any worse than they already were.

"Magic is not a toy Clark, it's exremely dangerous." Brian confessed. "When casting spells the wording is very tricky, and can often have unseen, and unwanted, side effects. There is no telling what I could do the way I feel right now." Brian tried to expain. "Amy's power's, and my own, are tied to our emotions.." Brian started.

"And with all your anger and sadness right now, your power's are a little crazy?" Clark finished for Brian.

"Exactly."

BACK IN ROSWELL----

"So how are we suppose to find this guy?" Michael asked the obvious question.

"I don't know yet Michael, but we have to do something." Isobelle said. "Maybe I can dreamwalk him..." she began..

"No." Max cut her off. "You can't make a connection with him, there is no telling what he might try to do to you if you do."

Things had been going on like this for awhile. They had lots of ideas of ways to find Barbas, but even better reasons of why they ideas wouldn't work.

"Maybe it's better if i just come to you?" A voice said from behind them.

Isobelle, Michael, and Max turned around just in time to see one of Barbas's demon's release a fireball. With no time to react, Isobelle was hit, and sent crashing into the wall.

"NOO!" Michael screamed as he held up his hand. A blinding white light shining from the palm of his hand, Michael used as much power as he could gather, just wanted to kill his targets.

Barbas and his demon were throw back into the wall. The demon exploded into a fiery death, but Barbas stood back up, seemingly unphased. "I don't think so.." Barbas said as he raised a fireball of his own."

Max raised his hand to create a sheild as the fireball was released, and it bounced harmlessly off of it. "How long can you hold that shield? I'm guessing not very long." Barbas grinned evily as he formed another fireball.

"BRIAN!" Michael yelled, as loud as possible.

Barbas released another fireball, which bounced off Max's shield, and Max pulled his hand back, dropping it. Barbas laughed and threw another fireball. This time, Michael raised his hand and redirected the fireball back at the attacker. Barbas, who also has the power to move things with his mind, sent the fireball once again back at Michael, and hit him. Michael flew back into the wall and landed on the floor, unconcious.

Brian and Clark orbed in at that moment, as Barbas threw another fireball at Max. Brian quickly raised his handed and made a gesture at the fireball, causing it to explode just before it hit Max. As Brian was doing this, Clark used his superspeed to run behind Barbas, and grab him. Clark took hold of Barbas's head and literally ripped it off. As soon as Barbas head was seperated from his body, both peices teleported out, and then reapearred as a fully assembled Barbas. "You can't kill me, its futile to try." the demon, Barbas, told him confidently, and he raised his arms, throwing both Brian and Clark back into the wall. Of course, Clark was the first one up, and Barbas smiled at him, obviously planning something. Barbas waved his hand in front of Clark's face, and smiled. "Your greatest fear, is that something is going to happen to you parents, and you won't be able to save them..." Barbas told Clark, somehow reading Clark's deepest fear. Barbas waved his arm again, and Clark saw a vision, one of his parents being killed by demons. "No!" Clarked screamed, as he ran as fast as he could toward home to prevent what he saw from really happening.

Brian started to get up, never taking his eyes off of Barbas. "It was you.." Brian said, almost growling.. "My parent's, my sister, you stole them from me!" Brian screamed. "Why?"

"Because I need your powers," Barbas replied casually before throwing a potion at Brian's feet.

Max was quick to react, raising his sheild in time for the potion to bounce off of it. As Max pulled his hand back, lowering his sheild, Brian made a gesture at Barbas trying to blow him up. An explosion could be seen on Barbas's chest, where Brian focused his power's, and Barbas was thrown backwards. Unfortunately, he stood up, seemingly unharmed. "I told you, you can't kill me." Barbas said again. "You're lucky your friend saved you this time, but I'll make sure it doens't happen next time." Barbas said, before starting to teleport out.

"Your not going anywhere!" Brian yelled. He raised an open hand toward Barbas, as Barbas was trying to teleport, and started to close his hand. It seemed to Max that Brian was holding him in place, not allowing him to magically teleport himself. Brian moved his arm quickly to the left, sending Barbas flying.

Barbas hit the ground hard, but reacted quickly, he swung his arm up, throwing both Max and Brian backwards, and took his chance to teleport out.

Clark was back in Smallville, looking at his parents dead bodies, when Barbas teleported back to the underworld, and broke the spell he cast on Clark. Clark realized what had happened, and began to run back to where he left his friends. When Clark arrived, he was terrified at what he saw. Isobelle and Michael were burned badly, both out cold, but alive. Clark used his X-Ray vision on everyone, and saw that the only person with any broken bones was Brian. When Clark looked closer, Brian was bleeding badly from the back of his head, and his pulse had stopped.

"Max! Max! Wake up!" Clark was petrified. With all his power, there was nothing he could do to save his friend, but Max could.

After a minute, Max started to stir, "What the hell..." he started.

"Theres no time, Brians hurt!"

Max looked over and saw Brian bleeding on the floor. "Some of his bones are Broken." Clark informed Max.

Max rushed next to Brian, trying to wake him up. "He has to look at me." Max panicked.

Max began chest compressions on Brian, hoping to start his heart for long enough for Brian to atleast open his eyes.

BRIANS POV---

'This really can't be good' Brian thought to himself, as he was standing over his own body, watching Max and Clark panic, trying to help him.

'Brian! Brian! Can you hear me please?" Brian heard a female voice in the back of his mind. It was Amy! She was communicating with him in her mind! He knew she was alive!

'Amy! Can you hear me?" Brian thought to himself, concentrating very hard.

'I'm alive!' Amy told him the obvious. 'I'm trapped in some other dimension I think, we need to try to open a portal in the same place it was opened before.

That was all Brian heard before he felt tremendous pain in his lower back, and his head. He tried to open his eyes, but the light was blinding. He had never felt this much pain before in his life. Everything was fuzzy, he could hear people saying words, but nothing made sense to him right now.

"Brian! Please look at me!" Max yelled at Brian for the forth time. Brian's heart was barely beating on it's own again, but Brian was barely concious, his eyes fluttering, opening and closing slowly.

Max placed his hands on the sided of Brians head, and stared into his closed eyes, "Please just look at me for a moment," Max pleaded.

Brian's eyes opened slightly, and he looked at Max, and that was all Max needed. Max's hands began to glow as he began to heal Brian's wounds. Max saw images of Brian's past as he healed him, his parents before they disapeared, a loving family, that did everything together. Max also saw the night that Amy and Brian had lost their parents, and the very hard years to follow. Max could feel everything he was feeling, his lonliness, his shame for not being able to save them, and Max knew there had to be something he could do to help Brian feel better about himself, but Max was unsure of what to do. All Max was sure of at this point in time, was that he had to do a good job repairing the damage Barbas had done to Brian.

Clark watched intensly, praying that everything would turn out ok. He had already checked checked on Isobel and Michael, who were burned badly, but both were breathing, with no broken bones, and very much alive. Clark watched with his x-ray vision as Max repaired the broken bones, and healed the rest of Brian's injuries.

When Max broke the connection, and released his hands, Brian woke up very quickly. "Amy!" he shouted.

"Brian calm down, it's ok now" Max tried to tell Brian.

"No! You don't understand! She's alive! She contacted me!" Brian told the others, very excited to have some positive news.

Brian looked around the room and noticed Michael and Isobel laying on the floor. "Let's heal them and I'll explain everything." Brian told Max.

Max nodded his head and walked over to his sister, as he tried to wake her up. Brian followed suit, and approached Michael, prepared to heal all his injuries.

IN SMALLVILLE

Chloe was sitting at her computer, frantically typing something into her favorite search engine. She was about to call Clark, to tell her everything she had found out, things she was sure would help everyone out with the demon they were against, when she was payed a little visit.

"So you're the one who figures everything out.." a quiet, and very evil voice told her. It was more than a question, he knew he found who he was looking for.

"Chloe slowly turned around to see a very scary man standing before her. "Barbas..." Chloe whispered.

"See... You know too much for your own good." Barbas told her before taking her arm, and teleporting them both out.

Barbas reappeared, alone, in Clark's loft of his barn. He placed a folded up parchment on his desk, smiled, and teleported back out. Barbas needed to separate Brian from his new friends, they were alot more powerful than he had realized. That's what he was hoping to use Chloe for.
