Chapter 3: Their Powers
The sisters held onto Paige and waited for her to orb. The Four held onto Charles. While Paige orbed, they saw that he shimmered. Once down in the Underworld, Piper started to get edgy.
"You have demonic powers?" she asked. "How can a witch have demonic powers?"
"My father was a demon," Charles said. "A strong one. He passed on some of his powers to me."
"Any others we should know about?" Piper asked.
"No," he said. "We binded the rest of my demon powers." Piper looked him over.
"Any of you got demon powers?" she asked.
"We'll tell you all our powers once we get back," David said. "But can we please get on with this?"
"Fine," Piper said. "Where is Rindo?"
"Probably off killing a magical creature for it's magic," Annie said "He's obsessed with power. He'll kill anything, good or evil, to have its magic." Just then someone shimmered in.
"Ah, if it isn't the Four Corners," Rindo said. "And you brought your knew friend."
"You bastard," Piper said. She couldn't hold off her anger towards him. She started using her exploding power continuously. She got him down on the ground.
"Impressive," he said. "But not quite good enough if you wanna fight me." He sent an electric charge through her. She was sent backwards and landed on top of Paige.
"Thanks for catching me, Paige," Piper said.
"Yeah, anytime," Paige said, getting up and brushing the dust off her clothes.
"Here, you guys throw this potion," Annie said, handing Piper one of the potions.
"Oh come on," Rindo said. "You guys have tried potions on me. And have any of them worked?"
"Now!" Annie instructed. They each threw their potions. Rindo just stood there. He wasn't vanquished.
"Didn't I tell you?"
"Rock!" Paige yelled. She orbed a rock at him. He used his electric power to blow it up.
"A rock?" Annie asked. "You used a rock?"
"Did any of you have a better plan?" she asked in her defense.
"Yeah, run!" David said. Rindo started shooting electric bolts everywhere. One went straight at Annie.
"Look out!" Phoebe yelled. Annie didn't move though. She seemed almost transparent and then the lightning went right through her.
"Come on, Paige," Piper said. "Let's orb." They orbed back. A few moments later, the others shimmered back.
"Damnit!" Annie shouted out. "Damnit, damnit, damnit…" She exited the room and they could hear her shouting 'damnit' down the hall.
"Now what?" Paige asked.
"Well, let's show you our powers now," David said. "I'll go first." Annie came back into the room. "We each have three powers, my first power I started off with was this." He changed into Paige. "Shapeshifting. Then I got my second power which is…" He turned into two Davids.
"Astral projecting?" Piper asked.
"Far more advanced than astral projecting," David said. "Cloning. With cloning, both of my bodies are usable and both can use their powers. And my last and final power is the power to freeze."
"Time?" Piper asked again.
"No," he said. He made a blue ball in his hand. He threw it at the floor and it made an ice spot.
"Oh."
"He thinks his freezing power is so great," Jordan said. "But mind beats his by a long run." She made a fireball in her hand. "I have the power of pyrokinesis." She threw it at the ice spot and melted it. "That's my newest power. My first one would be my mind control."
"You can control people's minds?" Phoebe asked. "Small world."
"Yeah, but it only works with humans and lower level witches and demons. My second power given to me was my levitation."
"Really small world," Phoebe said.
"What about you?" Piper asked to Annie.
"Well, you can call me the one with no active powers," she said. "I have an assortment of weak powers. First I had the power to cast illusions. That I've mastered pretty well. Then I got my power to make myself invisible. And then I got the power to phase. Which means I can walk through objects, which you've already seen. And that'd be it for me."
"My powers include foresight," Charles said.
"You see premonitions?" Phoebe asked.
"Well, when my power first started out, that's all I could do," he answered. "But it's gotten so that I can look into the future or past at will."
"Unfair!" Phoebe shouted. "How long have you guys had your powers?"
"Three years," Charles answered.
"Unfair!" she shouted again. "We've had ours twice as long and still, we don't have our powers as advanced as you guys."
"Yeah," Annie said. "But from what I've heard about you guys, you had no one teach you to use your powers. We did. And they taught us how to advance our powers."
"Anyways," Charles said. "My second power was telekinesis. And may I remind everyone I was the first to get an active power."
"Oh yippy," Annie said. "Do you need an applause?" She closed her eyes and a crowd of people appeared and they all started clapping."
"My last power I got was my learning how to control my shimmering."
"What an array of powers you guys have there," Paige said. "I'm sure since you know so much about us, you already know our powers."
"You can orb yourself and things to you," David said to Paige. She smiled at him.
"You can levitate, see premonitions, and the power of empathy," Jordan said to Phoebe.
"And I've also got a new power," Phoebe said. "It's some sort of hypnosing thing."
"You can freeze time and blow things up," Annie said to Piper.
"That'd be true," Piper said. "Now what do we do about Rindo?"
"Don't ask me," Annie said. "I'm giving up. We've never had to fight anyone this powerful before. Well, besides Magdefis, but he's a whole different story."
"What about the potions we used on Darcon?" Paige asked. "Maybe if we use them again, it'll be strong enough."
"Should be," Piper said. "He had the power of the amulet on his side."
"Let's get on it then," Phoebe said. "I'll work on some spells to use too."
"Come on, Piper," Annie said. "We'll make the potions."
"I'll work on the spells with you, Phoebe," Jordan said.
"And I'll help you, Paige," David said. "With whatever it is you want."
"And I'll stand here, by myself," Charles said.
