Chapter 27: Vanquisher or Vanquished One?
A/N: OMG! You are all so nice to me. I never knew my story was that good. To whoever said that my story should be a real book…wow! Sadly, this story won't be that much longer, but I'll start a new one soon after I'm done. Enjoy the chapter!
"Ready?" asked Past Piper surveying her family who had assembled before her. In each of their hands were several vials of potion. On their faces was a determined look. They all knew the plan, and they were ready to carry it out. Past Piper, Phoebe and Paige would take out any distraction the Jorgen King had planned. Future Piper and Chris had to be the ones who did the actual vanquishing. Leo would watch Wyatt, because somebody had to. An outsider would see them as a family with a mission. Leo could tell that they still had some doubts.
"Guys?" he asked, biting his lip. He knew when he finished what he was trying to say, reprimand would probably come. "Are you sure we're completely ready?" he finished. It wasn't as if Leo didn't have confidence in his wife, her sisters and his newly discovered future son. Leo knew what he wasn't sure that the rest of them had realized. There was so much at stake in the upcoming battle. It was truly a matter of life and death.
"We're ready", said future Piper confidently. Her long brown hair was tied in a low ponytail and she was wearing sturdy shoes. She was certainly properly dressed. Future Piper was more than just properly dressed. She knew what was at stake, but she also knew that this was her only chance to set things right. Future Piper would take that chance if it was the last thing she did.
"Let's go", Chris said, grabbing future Piper's hand. Paige touched Phoebe and Past Piper's shoulder. Leo was staying with Wyatt, so he reluctantly sat down scooping the baby into his arms. All but Leo and Wyatt disappeared in a swirl of blue white lights. The only thing they could do was hope that they would be the ones who were triumphant.
The Jorgen King sat on his old throne, in his old lair, and he looked at his newly assembled army with a smile. The minions stood there with their feet apart, hands by her sides. They were a truly organized force prepared for battle. All that was left for the king to do was to give them their orders. "When they come, you kill the male first. The rest will be begging to die. I want a small number to distract the sisters, but most of you go for the boy. If you are discreet enough, we shall triumph!" he exclaimed. His speech was met with a chorus of cheers from the assembled army.
The dark cave was illuminated in the corner from the blue-white lights of orbs. Future Piper, Chris, past Piper, Paige and Phoebe all appeared in the cave, ready to face the demons. With a mighty roar, the demons sprung into battle. Past Piper blew up demons left and right. Phoebe was fighting several demons martial arts style, and for the moment, she was doing very well. Paige was throwing potions left and right, vanquishing several of the demons that were advancing upon her. The Charmed Ones of this time managed to find each other and hold hands. "The power of three will set us free", they said. As they chanted the power of three spell a rippling blue shield formed around them, pushing back many of the advancing demons.
Meanwhile, Future Piper and Chris were doing their best to weave through the crowds of minion demons to get to the king. They didn't notice that a large number of the demons were specifically targeting Chris. He was doing fairly well against them, telekinetically throwing them in all directions. His mother was helping him, blowing up several demons left and right. When they were close enough to see the king clearly they were extremely surprised at the way he was sitting.
He was slumped on the chair almost lazily. He yawed exaggeratedly and looked straight at them. Then he gave them a small smile. With a small pop, the King was suddenly no where to be seen. Future Piper and Chris looked around, wondering where the king had gone. They saw Past Piper, Phoebe and Paige, behind a blue shield, chanting without fail. The others were in no immediate danger. But where was the king?
Suddenly, the demons that were to far to be affected by the shield swarmed around Future Piper. Chris was now blocked from her view. She flicked her wrists in an attempt to blow the demons up, but nothing happened. She tried to freeze them, but again, nothing. That's when future Piper began to panic. The demons surrounding her smirked at her distress. "We're immune now", the closest demon said smiling. Future Piper had no idea what was happening to her son.
Chris was valiantly fighting the demons that surrounded him. For the time being, he had the upper hand. He still did not know where the Jorgen King had got to. All that Chris knew was that his mother was surrounded, and he needed to save her. The Jorgen King was in fact very near to Chris. He was right behind him, unbeknownst to Chris. He was wielding a fireball, and looking extremely pissed off. He was extremely close before anyone saw him there.
Phoebe was the first to notice the Jorgen King there. "Chris! Look out!" Phoebe yelled anxiously. Her warning came too little too late. Chris was hit from behind with the fireball and he fell to the floor. Whether he was alive or dead was imposible to tell...
TBC…
A/N : Don't worry, I would never kill off Chris.
