One more chapter left after this one so if you are reading this, please review because I would really appreciate it and it makes people feel good to know that other people have something to say about what they write…anyways, hope you all like this chapter!

Oh and one more thing, the Source who is Phoebe's son, his name is Philip...I don't know why I wrote jack in previous chapters, but it's Philip and I've already gone back and fixed it.

Disclaimer- I do not own Charmed or any of its characters. They are all owned by Aaron Spelling but I do own those characters which you don't recognize.

"Ok, everyone," said Prue looking at all the people in the kitchen. "Are we all clear on what's going to happen?"

"Yes, mother," replied future Piper clinging onto Leo's arm. After she had shouted at him the day before, he had told her why he had left. The Elders believed that Cole was still alive and apparently, without Cole, the Charmed Ones would never be able to come out of hiding, so they sent Leo to find him. The catch was that if Leo did not find Cole then they would make him an Elder permanently and he would never be able to go down to see his family.

Future Piper got extremely angry after hearing this and called the Elders down who replied that it was "for their own safety". She didn't listen to a word of what they said and told them that if they ever interfered with the Charmed Ones' personal lives again then there would be hell to pay. Knowing that Piper carried out her threats, they left them alone.

"Prue, you told us five times already," continued Phoebe rolling her eyes. She leaned on Cole and said, "First we orb into the Underworld."

"Then we find guards who serve Philip directly," said Cole.

Paige sighed and said, "Then we kill them and take their uniforms."

"Then?" asked Prue glaring at the rest of the kitchen. No one answered. Prue sighed and said, "I know that most of you don't like this part of the plan but if we don't do it then I don't think that we'll make it out alive."

"But Prue," said future Phoebe softly. "Philip thinks that Cole's dead. He'll figure out that I knew that Cole was alive this whole time…"

"I know sweetie, but you both have to convince him that it was for his own good." Prue turned to future Cole and said, "You on the other hand have an even bigger job. If he comes around, he'll be feeling mighty guilty that he wanted to kill his own mother and he'll have you to blame for that."

Future Cole ran a hand through his brown and silver hair and said, "I'll figure out something."

Prue nodded and said, "Now just so that we're clear, can someone tell me what's going to happen once we get the uniforms?"

"Phoebe, Paige, and I will find Barbas and try to stall him," said Piper with a determined look in her eyes.

"Or kill him if possible," said Paige with a smile.

"Then if we manage to kill him, we'll find you guys and help if you need back up," said Phoebe to Prue.

Future Cole put his arms around future Phoebe and said, "Me and Phoebe will go to Philip's chamber and…we'll take it from there."

"And Cole, what will you be doing?" asked Prue.

"I'll be guarding the entrance to Barbas's layer to make sure that no one enters it while they're inside.

Prue nodded and said, "Leo?"

"I'll be outside Philip's chambers just in case Phoebe and Cole need healing while they try to get him to listen.

"Piper, you know what we have to do?"

Future Piper let out a low growl and said, "Prue! You've told me like ten times already. I get Chris and Wyatt while you get Patrick. Then we meet up in front of Philip's chambers."

"Then what?" asked Prue. Piper didn't answer. "Piper, tell me what we're doing next."

Future Piper glared at Prue and said, "Once everyone's in front of Philip's chambers, we cave in the Underworld."

Prue raised and eyebrow and said, "Good, no need to get so agitated." Future Piper growled again. Prue ignored her and said, "Ok then, let's go!"

In no time, both sets of Charmed Ones, Leo, and Cole had arrived into the Underworld. It was relatively easy getting the uniforms from the high level guards because they had arrived right in the middle of a guards meeting. After grabbing nine of the uniforms, the rest of the demons present were vanquished and all was well for now.

After changing into the uniforms, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and Cole left to stall Barbas while. Leo, Prue, and future Cole, future Piper, and future Phoebe stayed behind. (I'm just going to refer to them by their names here, no future stuff.)

Phoebe walked up to her sisters with tears in her eyes and engulfed the both of them in a hug. Piper and Prue were looking remorse as well. They pulled out of the hug and Phoebe said, "This might be the last time we're all together like this."

"Don't say that," snapped Piper. "We've been in situations like this many times. We always come out alive. You'll come out alive."

"Piper's right," said Prue. "Philip's your son…and no matter how messed up he is right now, he won't kill you. I don't think he has it in him."

"Really?" asked Phoebe. "He almost killed me the last time I saw him. I was this close to dying."

"He almost killed you?" asked Cole wrapping his arms around her waist. He buried his face in her hair and mumbled, "God, he's worse than me."

Phoebe wistfully smiled and turned to Leo who was observing the scene quietly. "Leo, though you weren't here when we needed you the most, you're still an alright guy. Take care of them. Don't let Patrick down."

Leo frowned and said, "Stop being so pessimistic. You both will come out alive."

"And that's the whitelighter in you," muttered Cole. "Always, the optimistic one."

Phoebe playfully slapped Cole. She shook her head and said, "Say goodbye to our past selves for me if you see them."

The three sisters hugged each other once again. Then Prue and Piper left to get Chris, Wyatt, and Patrick while Leo, Phoebe, and Cole went to find Philip.

Meanwhile, the past Charmed Ones and Cole were having very good luck. They had not been recognized as intruders by anyone yet.

"This is actually kind of boring," said Piper kicking a rock as they were walking.

"I know," said Paige. "This whole place is practically deserted."

"Isn't that a good thing?" asked Cole earning a glare from Paige.

"Do you think they'll be ok?" asked Phoebe.

Piper smiled at Phoebe and said, "Hey…what's the worst that could happen?"

"Well, our future selves could die and we'd be stuck here forever," said Phoebe frowning.

Cole draped an arm over Phoebe's shoulder and said, "Don't worry so much, our future selves seem perfectly capable of handling it."

Paige snorted and said, "Say that again in 25 years, will you?"

Cole glared at Paige and was about to say something when Barbas appeared in front of them. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?"

"You're the Charmed Ones whom I captured at the jewelry shop." He grinned at them with a glint in his eyes and said, "I wondered what happened to you." His gaze traveled over them and finally stopped on Cole. Barbas bowed a little and said, "Welcome back my lord. We all knew that you wouldn't stay dead long."

"This wasn't supposed to happen," whispered Piper.

Cole shot a sly grin at the sisters and muttered, "Follow my lead." He cleared his throat and said, "Barbas, I have something to discuss with you. It concerns them." He placed a hand on Phoebe which she knocked away with a vicious look on her face. "I also told them that if they try anything, I will kill them immediately."

Barbas's eyes widened as he bowed once again. "Very well, follow me." The old demon walked off with an air of grace not usually exhibited by demons, towards a well lit part of the Underworld that was decorated with carvings of skulls and paintings of people frozen in complete horror and fear.

Barbas turned around to face Cole with a twisted smile on his face and said, "What exactly is your proposition?"

Cole grinned at the demon of fear whose smile immediately faded. "Barbas, have the Charmed Ones ever been able to fully vanquish you?"

Barbas suspiciously shook his head.

"And why not?"

Barbas looked at the sisters then back at Cole. He proceeded to make strange motions with his hand, which caused the Cole to raise an eyebrow. "How is this relevant, my lord?" asked Barbas curiously.

"You'll see," muttered Cole. He looked at Phoebe who had a look of understanding on her face. Somehow, she had managed to understand what Barbas was motioning about to Cole and was quickly trying to come up with a new vanquishing spell in her head. Apparently, Barbas never got vanquished because the spell in the book was too old to take any major effect on him. Phoebe's eyes lit up and she nodded to Cole. Then she muttered something to Piper and Paige while Barbas looked on suspiciously.

Barbas looked at the sisters then back at Cole who was smirking at him. "My lord?" he asked cautiously.

Cole smirked even more at Barbas. Without warning, he threw an energy ball at Barbas knocking him to the ground. When Barbas got up, he had a gash across his forehead.

"Go!" shouted Cole to the sisters.

This demon has killed many with their fears

Let them come to haunt him and take what's dear

His life shall flee as swift as can be

He'll burn in hell and will never return to tell…

As soon as the sisters had finished saying the spell, millions of bright white figures began seeping from the ground and the ceiling. They were the spirits of all the demons, witches, and people Barbas had killed during his lifetime. His eyes widened in horror as he realized that this was the end. This was his fear. His fear was his life being taken by those whom he killed. How they figured it out was a mystery to him. Smiling one last time at the sisters, Barbas let out a yell of agony as the white spirits engulfed his body. Within seconds, his body was on fire. Then all the spirits were gone as quickly as they came and all that was left of Barbas was ashes on the ground.

Piper hugged Phoebe and said, "You did it."

Phoebe laughed and said, "We did it."

"Too bad he's not dead in our world," said Paige.

"You can't win them all, you know," said Cole smiling at the sisters. "Keep that spell, it'll be useful."

The four smiled at each other and proceeded to find future Leo. Hopefully they wouldn't run into too many demons on their way there.

Prue and future Piper on the other hand weren't having as much good luck. Apparently, the ashes of the demons they had killed had been found and demons were checking everyone to find the intruders.

"Great, just our luck," muttered Prue as she and Piper stopped behind a big line.

"I know…what are we going to do?" Piper looked to the front of the line and said, "Great, they're telling everyone to take off their hoods."

"I wish we could just kill them all and get it over with," said Prue nervously. "Can't you just freeze them?"

"No, it appears our dear nephew gave them some kind of immunity to getting frozen."

"What about getting blown up?"

Piper frowned and said, "They'll know it was us then…" She shook her head and said, "What the hell…HEY! OVER HERE!" Piper stepped out of the line and waved to all the demons in front of her.

"Way to be conspicuous," said Prue putting her head in her hand.

The two sisters took off their hoods and on the count of three, they took action. Piper blew up the demons in front of her one by one while Prue slammed them into walls. The only problem was that the more demons they killed, more demons appeared.

"Prue! We need more help!"

"You think I don't know that? Where the hell are our past selves when we need them?" she hissed flinging her arm out at a demon that had shot a fireball at her.

"We could just about use Phoebe's power right now."

"Yeah, levitation and energy bolts would be good." Prue grunted as she delivered a swift kick to another demon, which had shimmered in front of her.

"Why don't we have any new powers?" asked Piper flinging her arms at a few energy balls. The energy balls promptly exploded in the air spewing the demons who had thrown them with fire, vanquishing them immediately.

The two sisters were fighting so tirelessly that they managed to kill every demon that had appeared.

Prue flopped down on the ground thoroughly exhausted. Piper leaned against the wall and massaged her temples. She looked down at her sister who was breathing heavily on the ground and managed to crack a smile. "I think that's the most fighting we've ever done in our lives."

"Tell me about it," said Prue getting up. "Now I can finally understand why my children prefer to stay at magic school rather than do all of this…"

Piper held an arm out to Prue and said, "Well, they took the easy way out…they're a lot like Dad, you know."

"Eh…I still don't get that. Both of them have overly active parents and yet they choose Magic School?" Prue rolled her eyes and said, "I know I should be happy for them since they're my children, but Magic School?"

Piper patted Prue's back and said, "It's ok, Prue. Anyways, let's go."

A few minutes later, they found Patrick in some room writing something while Chris was throwing things at him.

"Christopher Perry Halliwell! You stop that right now!" yelled Piper, glaring at her son.

Chris jumped up from his pot on the ground and gave Piper a big hug. "What are you guys doing here?"

Patrick looked up from what he was writing. His face fell as he saw that Phoebe wasn't with them. Prue saw this and said, "Patrick, Phoebe's also here." She looked at Piper whose eyes had narrowed. "And Patrick, your…Dad's back."

Patrick stood up, his eyes wide in shock. "Dad's back? I thought he was…dead."

Piper shook her head mutely and pulled him into a hug. "Apparently not…he came back a little bit after you left." She looked over at Chris whose look of surprise was slowly morphing into a look of anger. "Peanut, where's Wyatt?" she asked.

Chris frowned and looking at the ground replied, "He's around somewhere."

"Can you call him for me?" Piper asked softly.

Chris nodded and looking at the ceiling, said, "Wyatt…Mom wants you."

Moments later, a tall blonde man orbed in with a look of surprise on his face. He pulled Piper into a hug and said, "Mom, what's going on?"

Prue looked at her sister and her two nephews. She gestured to Patrick to come outside with her. "Let's leave them to it, shall we?" she asked leading her nephew outside.

"Why? What happened?"

"Your Uncle Leo's back too."

"What?" asked Patrick his brown eyes widening with shock. "When did he come back?"

"At the same time as your father," said Prue.

Patrick snorted and said, "Yeah, I'm sure. So were they on a secret mission together or something?"

Prue frowned at her nephew and said, "No, Leo was sent to find Cole or never see us again." She was about to say more, but Piper came out right at that second. Prue looked at her sister whose eyes were brimmed with tears. "Hey, did everything go ok?"

Piper shrugged and said, "As well as it could have. I sent them to Magic School and told them not to come into the Underworld for the rest of the day."

"Why not?" asked Patrick.

Prue glanced at Patrick before turning back to Prue. "Did you tell them to tell Patience and Adam that we all might die today?"

Piper mutely nodded and said, "They didn't take it too well."

"What are you guys talking about?"

"We'll explain on the way there," said Prue grabbing her nephew's arm as she and Piper began to walk.

"On the way where?" asked Patrick pulling himself out of his aunt's grasp.

"To your brother, that's who," snapped Piper. "Let's go! We'll probably be the last ones there."

By the time Prue, future Piper, and Patrick reached the front of Philip's room, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Cole, and Leo were already there.

"Are you seriously thinking of blowing up the Underworld?" yelled Patrick causing everyone to wince. He looked at Leo and said, "Nice to see you back, Uncle Leo."

"You too, kid," said Leo ruffling Patrick's hair.

"Since you're my favorite Uncle would you mind telling all of them that this is a crazy idea?" asked Patrick.

Leo shrugged and said, "No can do. It'll be better for everyone. With the Underworld gone, evil will basically come to a halt for a while."

"But the demons will come up to the normal world though!" replied Patrick.

"We'll kill them. Besides, you do want your brother back on your side, don't you?" asked Phoebe standing in front of her future son.

Patrick gazed hesitantly at his mother's past self. She did have a point. With the Underworld blown up, the demons would all be dead, and with no one to rule over, Philip wouldn't have a choice. He sighed and looked at the past version of his parents. "Fine…what are we supposed to do now?" he asked.

"Wait," said Paige. "If everything works out well, then a vortex should open and take the four of us back home."

"Keyword being if," muttered Patrick.

Piper rolled her eyes at her future nephew and gazed at her future self who was in Leo's arms. They seemed so much in love even after all these years. Not even the Elders could come between them. Maybe there was hope after all that she and Leo would be able to have a fragment of a normal life after all. She was drawn out of her reverie when she noticed that Patrick was starting to fade.

"Patrick?" she asked.

"Oh, my god!" said Prue. "What's happening?"

"I think I'm being summoned…" said Patrick.

"By who?" asked Cole trying to grab onto Patrick's arm. Unfortunately, his hand went right through it.

Patrick looked up startled and before disappearing completely said, "Philip…"
