Prince Halliwell: Yes, there will be a conclusion to the Ayleia storyline. As for a sequel, I honestly don't know yet. Zola was vanquished to different plane, as his plan was to vanquish Prue and Andy to separate astral planes. He's still around someplace. I really like the Guardian of Life that just might be the perfect title for Melinda. Princess Pinky: I decided to do a Piper centered piece, I haven't used her much in this story and I had to go with what popped into my head. CC: Your reviews always Rock!

Eternally Charmed: Knights in Orbing Armor

"There are eleven astral planes Phoebe remarked gazing down at the book "so we've got to search them all"

"Search them all?" Phoebe's husband's eyes grew wide. The half demon, half human had shimmered into the picture shortly after Piper and Zola had been vanquished.

Slowly Phoebe closed the book, "well what other choice do we have? We can't exactly scry for them.

Cole scratched the back of his head slowly, "no but you could use some deductive reasoning"

"Deductive reasoning?" Phoebe looked confused, "Cole I'm not following"

Cole pulled his hand away from his head and shoved it into the pocket of double breasted navy blazer. "Zola wanted to punish Prue by vanquishing she and Andy to separate planes, so if you were Zola where would you send her?"

Phoebe thought for a moment chewing her lip. Prue was technically immortal so the most Zola could do to Prue would be to send her back to her ghostly state. The only way to really punish a ghost was to keep them from moving on. "Someplace where Prue would feel like she was trapped and unable to escape someplace like-"

"Limbo" Leo finished blurting Phoebe's opportunity for intelligence.

"Very good but the only question is how do we get her out?"

"We orb" Andy returned knowing that angelic beings had the ability to travel to alternate planes without much effort.

"I'm going with you" Prue turned from her place at the window and pressed a palm into the center of non-stop kicking demonic fetus.

"No you aren't Prue it's too dangerous" Andy's eyebrows knitted, "that vanquish was meant for you. If you go charging in there you could be trapped forever"

Prue's green eyes narrowed shifting, "In case you weren't listening the vanquish was meant for you too and since I'm the person who got myself pregnant and caused Piper to be vanquished, I should go"

Prue moved to brush by him and Andy reached for her arm. "I'm sorry Prue I can't let you do that, there's too much at stake"

"Andrew is right Prudence" Melinda interjected solemnly, "with Dantalian gone, the shift of power has move in favor of the Greater Good. The source of all-evil is unbalanced. If something were to happen to you now it might tip the hand back towards their favor"

"Melinda's right, you're an easy target Prue"

Prue swallowed letting her eyes hit the floor before Andy released her arm. "What about you?" she asked softly lifting her eyes back up into his line of sight.

"It's always been my destiny to protect you and your sisters" Andy smiled and tried to brush his hand across his face as soon as his fingertips touched her skin, Prue burst into a set black orbing ash and reappeared across the room.

"Okay this has got to stop!" She wobbled slightly as she became corporeal, feeling light headed.

"I don't think it will" Leo frowned evidentially Dantalian's baby is trying to keep you away from Andy by tapping into your telekinetic energy and using it orb or in this case ash.

"So Prue has the power to telekinetically orb?" Andy move towards Prue making her raise and hand and step backwards.

"Only as long as the baby wants her too" Leo replied, "Because this child was bore to the dark priestess her powers are trying to rival Prue's.

"Not for long" Prue hissed reacting to another harsh kick, "as soon as I'm able I'm going to strip your powers"

"Okay, okay" Phoebe stepped next to Prue wrapping an arm around the frustrated witch-priestess, "can we get off the power struggle for a moment and concentrate on saving Pi-" Phoebe's voice stopped as her body was wacked with a surge of emotion coming from Prue. Her face began to redden, her form began to tense.

"Whoa, chill on the anger there sis, there's enough frustration coming out of you to vanquish the entire North American continent."

"Believe me when I say it's all not all me" Prue smirked gazing down at the angry bulge that was poking through her clothing.

"I can feel that" Phoebe sighed, "that's one angry little demon you have in there"

"Maybe I'll go back up with Melinda and see what we can find out about Zola and his desire to vanquish me" Prue was bothered by the fact that Zola had seemed so eager to remove her from power.

"I'm sorry Prudence, since you are no longer of a prue spirit you are no longer allowed to enter the realm" Melinda frowned watching Prue's eyes fill with yet more anger.

"What? How am I supposed to govern the realm?"

"You don't, not until your body is purged of the evil that resides inside of it"

"Fine, I'll be in the nursery if anyone needs me" Prue sighed shrugging Phoebe's hand from her shoulder stalking off.

"Prue" Andy started to follow only to have Melinda pull him back

"She'll get it over it. This is something she was meant to do"

The tracer frowned for several seconds before joining Cole, Phoebe and Leo at the book to formulate a plan to save Piper.


Underworld

The cloaked figure stood beside the see'r gazing into the pool of reflection. "Perfect, with Prue unable to enter the realm, I'll be in charge in no time"


Phoebe concentrated on the book as she flipped through the pages. "Lost and Found Spell, if I modify it just a bit I might be able to send Andy and Leo straight to Piper"

"It's worth a shot" Leo replied with a sense of urgency looking over her shoulder.

"Melinda do you mind?" Phoebe smiled at her beloved ancestor motioning her towards the book. She the looked down and together using Melinda's angelic influence they began to chant "Guiding spirits I ask your charity, lend me your focus and clarity, lead these angels to the one I cannot find, restore that and my piece of mind."

A loud rumbled rocked the room and Cole looked upward beading his eyes back and forth. "Well something is happening"

Orbs formed and Paige appeared, causing Phoebe and Melinda to exchange glances. "Do you think we need the power of three?"

"Tis, quite possible" Melinda smiled at Paige.

Still in her rock form, Paige clenched her jaw allowing a frown to form firmly on her face. "Will somebody tell me what is going on here?"

Coolly, Cole leaned into Andy muttering under his breath, "She's the one that was lost and the spell brought her home"

"Uh huh" The Tracer replied quietly as Phoebe shot back with a heated response.

"Paige, Piper is missing and for we know she could be dead!"

"What?" Even through her rock shell, Phoebe could see that Paige still cared for her sisters.

"Piper and Zola were pulled onto an alternative plane, and we need the power of three"
Melinda waved her palm in a welcome manner, "join us at the book Paige"

Paige's dark eyes shifted slightly as she stepped forward, "okay what about Prue?"

She's feeling a little hormonal" Phoebe returned with a fake smile causing Paige's face to change all screwy in only the way she could make it. Even as a rock, she still had her wacky facial expression.

"I'll explain later, just say the chant"

Pushing her diamond studded weaves aside, Paige stood beside her sister. "Guiding spirits I ask your charity, lend me your focus and clarity, lead these angels warriors to the one I cannot find, restore her safety and my piece of mind."

White lights swarmed around Andy, Leo and even Cole transforming their attire into that of the three royal Musketeers Each man was now dressed in late 17th century attire, complete with boots, leggings, white ruffled shirts, bright tunics and big plumed hats. Bright shiny musket swords rested carefully amongst their leather belt loops.

Phoebe's upper lip curled with confusion. "The Three Musketeers?"

"Okay since when did Cole become an angel?" Unfazed by the new attire Paige didn't miss her chance to take a stab at her demonic brother in law.

"Oh about the same time you became a rock" Phoebe quipped smartly proud of the fact that goodness had cloaked over Cole in the effort to save Piper.

Ignoring the remark, Melinda's smile of confidence only brightened, "in my day the three musketeers were the most noble of warriors" she breathed as the three men raised their swords.

"All for one and one for all!" With orbs and shimmers combined, the trio disappeared into the astral plane known as Limbo


"Ugh!" Piper felt herself hit something hard. Something that her sent her flying backwards into the house, back through the whole in the wall which Shax had created and straight into the curio cabinet that had once been shattered by Rodriguez's reaction to Andy.

She landed hard with a thud coughed rolling to her side and instantly wished she hadn't. Everything in her body hurt especially the ton of debris from the cabinet that was lying on her chest. Blood trickled from her forehead.

From a distance she heard an evil chuckle. Slowly Piper managed to open one eye and saw a blurry figured Shax forming an energy ball. She coughed again, this time grimacing as her mouth fought to find words. Her voice was barely a whisper "Evil wind that blows, that which forms below, no longer may you dwell, death takes you with this spell!"

Thundered cracked and Shax let out a howl turning into the wind.

"Bastard" Piper grumbled attempting to pull to her feel until a sharp pain in her thigh pulled her back down. "Damn it!" she hissed noting that a wooden stake from the cabinet had impaled her leg.

"Leo! Leo I need you!"

"He can't hear you" The white haired demon of the mirror Callie smiled as she appeared in the shattered reflective glass from the cabinet

"Not you" Piper moaned, "wasn't the time we save Avia enough or do I have to call my sisters to re-vanquish your sorry ass?"

"Perhaps you prefer to spend eternity with a the demon who has a face filled with thorns!" Callie chided with her eyes turning demonic red. A tinkle in her eye told Piper that she what she was about to see wouldn't be good and she was right.

A thorn faced Jeremy appeared holding an a dagger." Surprise to see me again witch?"

"Ah..ah…" Piper tried to move but she could. Her leg was in too much pain, so she flicked her wrists instead, freezing Jeremy. "Okay now what was that spell?"

"The Power of Three" Callie sneered, as Jeremy began to unfreeze, ready to attack.

Clamping her eyes shut, Piper whimpered and them sputtered the words to a spell. Power of three come to me, settle here so that my sisters are near. Their vanquishing power, I need to flee, so give me the power of three!"

Three bright starbursts appeared soaring into Piper's chest, causing her eyes to pop open. From deep inside she could feel that her sisters with her. "The power of three will set me free, the power of three will set me free…the power of three will set me three"
By the end of the third verse, Jeremy slowly began to smoke with the thorns on his face sinking inward until finally he imploded, spraying Piper with his demonic remains. Raising her hands Piper shrieked, turning her head to the sight of orbs. When she opened them, Leo, Andy and Cole were standing before her.

"Leo are you wearing tights?"

Leo knelt at her side, holding his hands of healing over her leg, "I'll explain later" Gingerly he lifted her into his arms, "Let's get you home"

"Not so fast" A female voice said.

Drawing their swords, Andy and Cole whirled to see a tall super model standing before them slithering the long forked tongue of the Succubus.

"Oh no" Piper droned immediately noting how all three men were staring, eyes transfixed on the beautiful demon.
