Replies- passions: I'm glad you like it. zerabel: I hope you're enjoying it. peanut2lb: The girls have lost the book…for now! Even if they get it out the vortex they still have to give it to the powerbrokers while they have the powers. I know, powerbrokers are demons and making deals with demons is something you don't do, but Phoebe and Paige are desperate.

Power-broke:

Paige blinked into the crypt where Valiant had took them hours before, she used the new telepathy she had to try find if anyone was there,

"my mind is protected from your little tricks," said a familiar voice, Paige turned to see Piper/Persia. She was still wearing the jeans and cream turtle neck she had been wearing before the possession,

"listen Piper…Persia, I have powers now and I'm not afraid to use them," Paige said,

"yes, but I have more powers than imaginable," replied Piper/Persia, she released a beam of burning red heat, Paige responded with a lightening bolt. The two abilities battled until Paige couldn't hold it anymore, she let go and jumped to the ground, letting the energy pass over her.

Through the Vortex

Phoebe screamed as she swirled around in the crackling vortex, Alden moved around next to her, while the two other powerbrokers were trying to grab the Book of Shadows,

"maybe I can create another vortex to get outta here," Phoebe said to herself, she concentrated hard and watched as another swirl of blue appeared, swallowing her, Alden and the book, while the first vortex destroyed the powerbrokers. This vortex led back to the powerbrokers cave, Phoebe tried to fight the vortex's pull, trying to escape it's mystical hold, she watched as the book flew from it and slammed onto the table, Alden shot an energy blast at Phoebe, she managed to dodge it by shimmering out and then back in again, she moved towards him and pressed her hand to his chest, releasing her touch of death and vanquishing him. Phoebe could hear Heath laughing as he watched her struggle, I'll show him she thought, then she shimmered out and back in again, this time behind Heath,

"bye, bye," she laughed, kicking him in the back of the leg and pushing him at the vortex, but she jumped away before it could swallow him up, the vortex closed.

The Crypt

Paige stood up and faced her sister, well the body of her sister, the intruding spirit had taken over, black orbs appeared between the two and became Valiant,

"what's going on?" he asked, after glancing at Paige,

"our guest just tried to kill me," replied Piper/Persia. Valiant stretched out his hands an black smoke formed a crossbow in his hands,

"you may not have the powers, but you still have the blood of a whitelighter," he said, firing one of the arrows, Paige destroyed it with lightening and blinked behind Piper/Persia, smashing a piece of stone down on her head and knocking her out, then she grabbed her by the wrist and blinked them out.

Powerbrokers Cave

Phoebe looked around, she was surrounded by powerbrokers and Heath was commanding them to attack her, she panicked and jumped onto the table, she grabbed a bunch of the power-balls and absorbed them,

"stupid little girl, that much power will lead you to self-destruct," snarled Heath,

"I'm a charmed one, I think I can handle power," she replied, releasing an energy ball at him. He yelled out in pain as it crashed into his chest and vanquished him, Phoebe was about to give a laugh when pain surged through her body,

"oh god," she groaned, then she turned to one of the powerbrokers and used telekinesis, one of the other new powers, to pin him against the wall,

"get these powers outta me," she yelled, he nodded and with a wave of his hand about eleven power-balls floated from inside her onto the table,

"Phoebe, I got her," said a voice, Phoebe turned to see Paige had blinked in, with an unconscious Piper/Persia.

"Paige, I'm powerless, how can I say the spell?" Phoebe asked,

"you still have magic, now quick, before she wakes up," Paige replied, they both took one of Piper/Persia's hands and chanted the spell;

"Host soul reject the evil essence,

Let love's light end this cruel possession,"

They watched as a spirit floated from inside Piper,

"why didn't it vanquish her?" Phoebe asked,

"it made me stronger," announced the spirit. She was wearing a black, torn, dress and her long black hair was tied up with a black ribbon, she also had black boots on, she closed her eyes as she became a solid body,

"Persia," mumbled Piper as she regained consciousness.

"My love," said Valiant, as he appeared, "you are one on your own, no longer sharing a body with the witch,"

"well you need to know something about this body," Piper said, "she still has half the power 'your love' took," then shelevitated up and kicked Persia in the face,

"Piper!" exclaimed Phoebe and Paige in unison,

"get down," replied their big sister. The two did as they were told and crawled under the table,

"I've got an idea," Phoebe said, Valiant looked on as Persia and Piper battled it out, they were evenly powered as they each had some of each other's magic and some of Phoebe and Paige's.

"Piper!" called Paige, Piper smacked a roundhouse kick into Persia head and turned to her sisters, then Phoebe chanted;

"Sharing power no more,

Release the gifts, let them sore,

Free the abilities evermore,"

bright lights released from Piper and Persia's chests, there was a big flash and when it was gone everyone had their own powers back, meaning Piper and Persia were no longer evenly matched. Piper ran under the table to join her sisters,

"how're we gonna kill her now?" she asked, "she's too powerful,"

"that's where my plan comes in, I say we give her more power," Phoebe said, she reached up and took some power-balls from the table, she handed one to Piper and two to Paige, keeping the remaining two for herself. Paige orbed behind Persia and threw a power-ball into her, then orbed in next to her and did the same with the other one, Phoebe levitated and smashed two into Persia's chest, before she blasted the two sisters into the wall. Then, she moved towards Piper grabbing by the throat, Piper gasped for air before forcing the power-ball into Persia, who threw her backwards into her sisters,

"what now?" Paige asked,

"we make her tap into the power's, all of them," Phoebe replied, then she stood up and yelled, "hey Persia, I thought you all mighty and powerful," this angered Persia and she shot a stream of fire, energy and lightening all in one, the sisters ducked and watched as it crashed against the wall behind them. Persia released more and more until she let out a howl and exploded,

"NO! what happened?" yelled Valiant,

"it was too much power, she self-destructed," replied Paige, Valiant conjured his crossbow again, firing it at them,

"arrow!" called Paige, orbing it back at Valiant, vanquishing him. The powerbrokers stood at one side of the cave, they had stayed out of the fight, they were about to lunge at the charmed ones when a group of gargoyles appeared, attacking them,

"lets go," said Piper, Paige nodded and orbed her and her sisters out.

To be continued…

Ps. I have the next sub-plot planned out and the next chapter will be up soon.
