From Problems to Solution
"Welcome back," a voice from above said. They turned and a large group of Elders orbed in, followed closely in suit by demons flaming, shimmering, and smoking in on the exact opposite side of the room.
"I see you now know why you are too dangerous to both sides," a demon said, a fireball charged in his hand.
"He will change the balance of power to evil or good," Piper said.
"It's too bad we didn't have someone from the future trying to warn us about him doing that, like we did with Wyatt, huh?" Phoebe said, casually sitting down in a chair.
"I know. It's like we should have been prepared for this, but we weren't," Paige said in the same care free manner.
"Enough of this!" the demon yelled, throwing his fireball at the sphere. The other demons and the Elders all pitched in assaulting the shield. Each attack slammed into the shield and rebounded killing several Elders and demons. After losing several members both sides stopped.
"We will not allow you to live," the lead demon said. "You are too dangerous to our cause, just as you're too dangerous to the Elder's cause for them to allow you to live. So, you might as well decide which side you're gonna be on right now"
Peter dropped onto the couch. "I don't know why I would join you demons," Peter said flatly.
The lead demon smirked. "Of course not. You see it was they who kept you in that cat body. They hoped that you would die and they wouldn't have to worry about dealing with a half-witch half-demon"
Peter turned to the Elders. "Is this true?" he asked, with almost no tone to his voice.
"Yes, it's true," one of the Elders said, contempt and venom flowing from his voice like a river. "The Halliwells have had many prophecies behind their name and when you were born another one came true. You were the only boy they had had so far, and that meant you were the one to change the balance of power for good or ill. We couldn't risk it, so we trapped you in the cat body, bound your powers, and then blamed it all on the demon Barbas"
"Brilliant strategy," Peter said. "Right up to the part where I get discovered and set free by the Charmed Ones." Peter's voice had no tone, and that was what scared everyone in that room most. He could easily be a cold-blooded assassin for either side.
"That was something we hadn't counted on. We never figured out how your powers came back to you anyway"
"Well, it looks like there's only one thing to do," Peter said, standing up, making sure not to look at the girls. He held out his hand and conjured a dagger and with a quick thrust he stabbed it into his gut and cast a spell. "Heaven and hell fight for power and seek to wield me. Now take I my life and set my powers free. Bring them from the darkness to the Charmed Ones three, and grant them by age and destiny"
Peter's dying body hit the floor, and the shield began to dissipate. The Elders and demons were so stunned they didn't know what to do but leave. Leo orbed back in with the boys. Wondering what they were all looking at, he ran over and tried to heal Peter. Peter's body mended but he didn't wake up.
A/N: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho, ho, he, he, he, he! I love leaving people on cliffs.
