Witch Fight

Piper stared at the slightly eerie composure of both Emma and Phoebe. They stood in a comatose, facing each other. Both of their eyes were wide open as they looked at each other. Anyone would have thought that they were just staring at each other, if it wasn't for the large pink stream of energy that was connecting both of them at the head. She stole a quick glance at her niece, who would snarl at anyone who would try to talk to her at the moment. Pamela had had her powers all her life, and now she was suddenly left without them, she felt so defeated. Shalimar was another one had had her powers all life; she kept staring at her fist as if it meant nothing without her feral abilities.

"Okay, spell's cast. No one can see us here," Paige announced as she came back into the alley.

"Thanks," Piper replied, "You're really the only one with powers now,"

The witchlighter frowned, "I'm glad to see you have such confidence in Emma," Was the sarcastic response.

"I do, I just think we should prepare for the worst. Leo!" She shouted out into the night air for her husband, who lit up the alley as he appeared in a shower of orbs, "Where are the kids?"

"Oh… I left them up there, I thought it would be safer since you could have been calling me into a fight," He said.

"Okay," She accepted, "I think you should order a lock down on empaths and whitelighters until this things dealt with. If Phoebe gets Emma's powers then she could orb up there and decimate the Elders,"

Paige snorted a laugh, "Where's the bad side to that?"

Leo smiled at his sister in law, "Actually, they've already ordered the lock down. There are only a couple of stragglers left until we can seal off the heavens,"

"How are the girls?" Paige asked with concern and love flowing from her voice.

"They're fine. I think they like the clouds a lot!"

"How's Connor?" Brennan asked as walked over from looking at his wife.

"Fine." Leo said stiffly, "Wyatt and Chris are keeping him amused,"

Piper shot her husband a look. It wasn't the time for blaming each other, "Okay, just try and keep us posted, okay? I don't want anything to go wrong right now. It could cost Phoebe her life,"

"No problem," The elder replied before orbing away…

Emma gasped as a stream of energy came towards her. She suddenly disappeared and hid behind a boulder she had managed to conjure instantaneously. The two psychic witches were now fighting on a stone arena that was surrounded by searing hot lava. It had been created by the intensity of their fight. The energy stream shattered the boulder instantly and Emma teleported out of its line of fire to face Phoebe, whose hand was still glowing from the power that had been thrown from it.

"Don't you just love mind duels? The only limits are your mental abilities, not your powers," The Halliwell smirked as she prepared to fire another energy blast.

"You talk too much…" Emma growled as her eyes glazed over with ice. Two beams of blue-white magic flew from her eyes and blasted Phoebe to the edge of the arena, making her almost fall into the molten lava below.

The psionic scrambled to side, to see if she had succeeded in knocking her opponent off but when she picked up on something behind her, she teleported out of way just in time to dodge an energy blast.

"Damn…" Phoebe cursed as Emma reappeared in front of her, "You know that I have a lot more power than you Emma. It'll only be a matter of time before a wear you down and take your powers, along with the rest of the magical community,"

Emma's eyes widened, "That's your plan? Phoebe, that'll decimate all magic!"

"And all of it will reside inside me. Can you think of a greater power?"

The mutant walked carefully towards her, "And what happens when the only power left is the one that is in your son? Huh? Are you going to be so heartless as to drain Connor of his powers then kill him?" She knew she had struck a chord when Phoebe's eyes went back to normal for a brief second.

But it didn't last long, "Of course I will, I want all magic. And you're not going to stand in my way!" She shouted as electricity smote in her hands, conjuring herself a new power.

"Maybe not, but how about three of me?" Emma looked to her left and Phoebe followed her eyes. She gaped when she saw another Emma walking towards her. The psionic in the middle then turned to her right, where another clone was walking towards them! "You might think that you're all powerful, but I've still have some tricks left up my sleeve,"

"Me too," The clones said in unison before al three Emma's fired streams of pink energy from their forehead. They blasted Phoebe with all their might, making her scream in pain and fall to her knees…

"Okay, I think its time for some precautions," Paige announced to everyone as she reached into her jacket, "C'mon, gather round. These things could save you!" she pulled out a satchel that made a clinking noise when it moved.

"I doubt you can fit a miracle into a satchel, maybe a shopping cart," Pamela quipped.

Paige shot her niece a look, "Okay, for you powerless ones!" She handed the satchel to Piper, "Replicate your exploding power. You'll know when you use them better than any of us," She pulled out another silk bag and handed it to Brennan, "These send electrical pulses through their victim," The next one she had went to Pamela, "These encase the enemy in ice, I think you'll remember them," Paige winked, "And finally…" She handed a satchel to Shalimar, "Each one of these will give you temporary bursts of supernatural strength and speed,"

"You want me to send electrical pulses through my wife?" Brennan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the luminous green potion in his hand.

"Yeah, before she can do it to you!" Paige warned.

"Hold on, what if she takes your powers? Do you have a back up?" Shalimar questioned. Piper nodded in agreement.

"I do, except I don't need a potion, I just orb the hell out of there!" She caused everyone to laugh even though they were on edge at what would happen when the link of psychic energy broke and left them with one winner…

The three Emma's continued their assault on Phoebe. Each of them mercilessly firing beams of psychic power at the form that was now on her knees. She screamed in pain again but Emma kept going, if she really was in pain, the duel would have ended.

The psionic suddenly noticed a flash in Phoebe's eyes; they turned back to the green they had been before her powers had taken her over. Emma immediately stopped her onslaught and the clones disappeared, "Phoebe?" She whispered.

The witch looked up at her with tear filled eyes, "Emma…" She breathed out before she began to sob into her hands. Emma knelt down next to her,

"Shh…. It's okay, you're okay now," She put a hand on Phoebe's shoulder. The lava around the arena began to disappear, along with the stone platform they had been fighting on, it was over.

Or that's what Emma thought.

Phoebe's eyes suddenly returned to their black state and she shoved her hand into Emma's chest. The psionic looked at her friend with a hurt look as she was drained of her powers. With a defiant whimper, Emma slumped to floor as Phoebe stood up, smirking at that she had done.

"Sucker…"

Everyone jumped as the tie between Emma and Phoebe cut abruptly and Emma was sent flying into a dumpster. Piper and Pamela were first to react, throwing their potions at the super powerful witch, but all the mixtures did was cause a small singe in her clothes and a small patch of frost on her shoulder, which she shook off effortlessly.

"That the best you got?" She smirked before walking briskly towards Paige, her final target.

A tower of sand and a tornado of wind began to form and after they had disappeared, Grant and Skye stood in their place. They both fired their respective powers; Grant threw a barrage of rocks from his hands while Skye blasted lightning. Phoebe didn't have time to react as the attacks hit her, sending the witch flying into the air and skidding across the ground.

Phoebe levitated from the ground to pick herself up, "I'll be back…" She warned, before disappearing in a swirl of pink orbs.

Paige pouted, "Does everyone do that except me?"

Grant helped Emma to her feet as she came to, "Are you okay?"

She rubbed her temples, "Yeah, how do you always come when I need you the most?" Emma smiled at her boyfriend.

He grinned, "It's a gift," He replied, before kissing softly and putting his hand on the back of her head while she placed her hands on his shoulders. Paige suddenly cleared her throat loudly and broke up the kiss. She was still slightly bitter about seeing her best friend so happy with an Elemental when her relationship had ended so tragically.

"What are you two doing here?" Piper questioned, knowing that Grant wasn't really around that often and Emma always took advantage of the times they had together.

"That's what I'd like to know!" The teenage wind elemental turned to Grant, "I am on my way to the new club that opened downtown, and he suddenly sands in and grabs me!"

"H2o?" Pamela questioned before waving her hand, "Nah, I've been. You're not missing much, I can assure you, too many fish tanks,"

Skye nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I heard that the manager's an ex-con. Do you what is a really good club is? The one just at the corner before you get on the Bridge, ugh! I can't remember what it's called!"

Pamela gaped, "Oh God, the bartenders there are so cute! I made out with one of last year. Dark hair… brown eyes…"

"Tall?" Skye questioned. Pamela nodded, "I made out with him too…" There was an awkward silence after that until Piper broke it,

"Okay, if we can put the minors sneaking into clubs aside, can you tell us why you're here?"

"I really only sensed it because Emma was in trouble," Grant replied bashfully.

Paige snorted out a laugh, "So basically you are her knight in shining armour a couple of times and you'll get a quick screw?"

"Paige!" Emma and Piper scolded in unison.

"I'm going to get the potions I prepared for Emma," She replied stiffly before orbing out. Emma rubbed her temples again,

"What are we going to do with her?"

Piper rolled her eyes, "Let's take it one psychotic sister at a time, shall we?"

Paige stood in the kitchen leaning next to the sink. She stared at the row of orange potions that stood in the island. They were the potions that she had prepared for Emma incase she had her powers taken.

She shook her head, fighting back the tears in her eyes. Why was this bothering her so much? Aidan had been out of her life for seven months! Hell, she had even gone a few dates during her pregnancy and one after it. She hadn't into the guys she had been out with, but it was a start.

The front door creaked open and Emma's voice rang through the air, "Paige! Where are you?"

The witchlighter could tell her friend was angry when she heard Piper babbling, trying to calm down the psionic. Emma stormed into the kitchen and glared at her best friend, "What the hell was that back there? You embarrassed me, Grant and yourself!"

"I'm sorry…" Paige replied, Emma's eyes widened, "What else do you want me to say?"

"I want you to say what's on your mind!" She cried, moving closer, "You haven't been right ever since the twins were born, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing…" She said in such a tone that Emma decided to back off, "Here, take these, they're sorta like mind disruptors," She put all the potions into a pouch and handed them to Emma.

"Thanks, although I don't think they're going to do much good against Phoebe. I heard the ice and explosion potions didn't even make a dent in her,"

Paige nodded, "Yeah, that's why I'm going to fight her…"

Pamela paced her room, rolling the golden locket around her neck in her fingers as her shoes clicked on the wooden floor. She had been thinking of anything that might help, she was the daughter of the supposed "Superwitch" so if she couldn't think of something, no one could.

At this moment in time, Pamela could only think of one person that would have enough power to take on Phoebe directly, but she also knew that a certain family member would kill her if she called him,

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" She spun round to see Piper walking into the room.

"Do you really see another way? He definitely has enough power," Pamela responded.

She sighed "Paige would kill us,"

"She would also be alive, along with the rest of us. Aunt Piper, I think that Aunt Phoebe is just taking our powers so she can get rid of us easily in one go,"

"Well, it sounds like you don't agree with Paige,"

"What are you talking about?"

Piper nodded towards the door, "She downstairs saying that she's going to take on Phoebe by herself, which I think is suicide after we took her on directly and ended up powerless,"

"Did she drop a couple billion brain cells? She'll get killed!"

"That's what I said, she's not budging. I'm going to go back downstairs, try one last time. You coming?"

Pamela looked at the piece of paper on her desk next to her laptop, "Um… yeah, just give me a minute,"

Piper nodded and left the room, once her niece was sure that she gone. She crept over to her desk and picked up the pen and paper. She began to write a spell that would bring the one they needed…

"My mind is made up," Paige said firmly to Shalimar and Emma. She folded her arms across her chest as she sat in the living with the two mutants standing over her; they were convinced she had lost it.

"Are you kidding me?" Shalimar exclaimed, "We've all seen what psycho Phoebe can do. Where is Brennan? He should be in here helping us!"

"Brooding in the kitchen, leave him," Emma rolled her eyes, "Honey, what makes you think you can beat her? I mean, in that mind duel, I could conjure anything I wanted, make myself as strong as I wanted and she still bet me."

"I don't have to beat her, I just need to get through to her," She stopped to register Piper coming down the stairs, "You said that her eyes went back normal, right?" The witchlighter questioned Emma.

"Yeah but that was when I mentioned Connor, and I don't think you're going to get in any deeper unless you have Connor with you."

She shook her head immediately, "I'm not putting my little nephew in danger,"

"Then how will you get through to her? Taking her powers doesn't really seem to tug at her conscience," Piper argued.

"Maybe not, but I doubt she would actually kill me or you. I mean, we're her sisters, if she kills us then she's truly evil,"

Emma scoffed at this answer, "She didn't really seem bothered at the thought of killing her own son, what makes you think sisters come before children?"

Paige sighed and shook her head, "Look, I don't care what you guys think, I'm orbing you to Magic School and that's final," Piper started a protest, "Don't Piper, and don't even think of casting a spell to get back here once a send you because I'll send you right back…"

Shalimar smirked, "If she's made up her mind, we can't change it,"

Emma looked shocked, "Shal!"

"Oh, c'mon Em, we've all witnessed and been victims to the Halliwell stubbornness. If this is what she wants then we can't stop her,"

"But-,"

"Shal's right," Brennan said as he came into the room, "We can't talk her out of it. And we need to deal with this as quickly as possible," Everyone was surprised by this. Brennan had taken a back seat during this whole disaster, now he was finally talking, "Good luck…" He said to his sister in law.

"Thanks…"

Paige stood in the foyer of the silent Manor. The quiet was almost deathly as no one was in it except Paige herself. She walked into the living room and flicked through the blank pages of the Book of Shadows, just to entertain her for while as the silence was deafening. She just wished that Phoebe would hurry up and attack, as it was the suspense that was killing her, and not supreme psychic energy.

She walked back into the foyer and grunted with annoyance, until the chandelier began to shake above her, it didn't long for Paige to realize that everything was shaking! The pictures on the walls, the ornaments on the tables, a table lamp fell off its surface and smashed on the floor. Paige suddenly sensed something coming straight towards her and wisely orbed out before an advanced telekinetic blast flew through the front door, blasting it off its hinges and sending everything in its path flying into the air. Phoebe appeared in the hallway in a cloud of pink orbs, looking around wildly for Paige, who orbed back in to see the damage.

"Piper is going to kill you when she sees what you did with Pam's power," She warned, like a sister would do.

"A messy house is the least of my worries right now," She smirked, "Are you going to give me your powers or put up a pathetic fight like everyone else?"

"You're the big ass fortune teller, you tell me?"

Instead of replying, Phoebe raised her hand and fired a powerful energy blast, the power crackled in her hand as she fired it. Before it made contact, Paige disappeared in the red flare and left her sister stunned.

"I love having my astral projection power," Paige said as she orbed in behind Phoebe, "It's useful," Phoebe growled as she fired a black stream of psychic power from her forehead, "Mirror!" She called for a small mirror that was lying in the wreckage and held it in front of her face. The psychic attack bounced off and hit Phoebe, sending her into the dining room and smashing a vase on the table.

"That's another good power," Paige taunted.

Phoebe gritted her teeth and picked herself up, "You won't last for long…" She growled, disappearing in pink orbs, Paige did the same; she wasn't going to get caught out. She tried to scan the area with her multi dimensional sight, but she still hadn't got a handle of it! But the astral plane finally came into view and she saw pink orbs floating around in the air next to air

Paige retuned to her real form and landed, as did her sister. They stared each other down until Paige spoke,

"Why are you doing this? Why are hurting the people that love you?"

She rolled her eyes, "Not this again. Why are you all so preachy?"

Paige looked disgusted and threw out her arm to the right, making Phoebe fly into the sunroom and crash into the metal table. Paige just stood there, waiting for a smart comment or something to come from that direction, but it never came.

"Phoebe?" She called out nervously, pacing slowly into the foyer to get a better view as she had blasted Phoebe into the sunroom from the dining room.

"Guess again…" a voice came from behind her. Paige turned around just in time for Phoebe's black stream of mental energy to hit her in the stomach and pin her to the wall at the side of the stairs.

"Oh God…" Paige whispered in her last moment of consciousness, "Somebody please help me…"

The black beam ended and she fell to the floor in a pathetic position. Phoebe walked over to her and glared at the motionless body on the floor, "It's over," She snarled as she prepared to kneel down and take Paige's powers.

Suddenly, a large blue light shot from the front doors, Phoebe turned around, wide eyed and took the blast into her chest. She flew back into the dining room and sailed across the table, smashing into a set of cupboards at the back of room. The witch sat up and blinked a few times, touching her lip and realizing it was bleeding. She stood up and stared at her attacker.

Aidan Parker stood at the door with an expression of fierce determination on his face. The Trident of Poseidon was in his right hand while his left hand was outstretched in the direction the blast had been fired in. His blonde hair almost covered his eyes and he was dressed in jeans and wore a white t-shirt on his muscular torso. The King of Atlantis lowered his hand and smirked,

"Guess again…"

NEXT TIME: Aidan, who has now accepted the powers of his position, takes on Phoebe and forces her into a retreat. Paige orders Leo to keep the twins out of their father's sight. And with the Water Elemental back, the group hatches a plan to bring Phoebe back, but will it all be over?

Chapter 20 "Rolling Out The Red Carpet" should be up soon!
