Sorry you guys, I know I promised Brennan and darklighter stuff in the preview, but there was no place for it. I'll probably put it into the next chapter though!

Princess Pinky – Lol, yeah, that chapter had a lot of surprises in it! I've been planning it for a while now so I found it quite easy to write. Thanks, I'm trying to recreate 'sisterly' moments like that now and again. I hope you like this chapter, because I'm quite proud of it!

Phoebe turner – You'll have to wait and find out! Thanks for the review!

Chyp – Yeah, I like happy endings too, but things will get darker before they get brighter. Thanks for the review!

Prince Halliwell – Heh… No, I don't have something against happy families (if there is such a thing) I just like my angst. Lorna's about three months old, even though she's only been alive for a week! One of her powers is revealed. Thanks for reviewing!

Ravenix – I'm glad you liked it all! Thanks!

Unique deflection – Yes, you can use the elemental idea, just be sure to credit me lol! I'm glad you liked all of it! You'll need to wait and see about Emma and Lorna!

Kendallpaigecharity – Glad you liked it! Aw… I'll miss your reviews! I hope you enjoy your vacation!

Beki-13 – Thanks for reading! And you'll see about Emma!

Anianka – There's a reason why I killed off Grant, it's got something to do with the Piper/Leo plot, if you figure it out, don't tell anyone lol! Ah yes… we all know that the future is a twisted reality, who says Lorna's even alive? Well, I do, I though I'd just say that an ass. And I'm this story will get very sad before things perk up, But stick with me!

Pangea – Thanks! If you think this was good, wait until the last 3 chapters! They're going to blow you away! And the happy ending is a LONG way away, but it will happen!

Alexa – You know, I'm so glad that I was able to create someone for Paige that everyone seems to love! You'll need to wait and see how things turn out!

The Bay After Tomorrow

Cassandra Hughes let out a loud groan as she whipped off her sleeping mask and looked at her vibrating cell phone on her nightstand in her room. The telekinetic mutant picked up the cell and flipped it open, running a hand through her tousled blonde hair before responding with a groggy "Hello?"

"Cass… I… talk… you…" The signal was breaking up, but Cassy recognized the voice instantly, her heart beginning to pound a little faster.

"Pam? Where are you?" She hissed hurriedly into the phone, flinching when a large rumble of thunder was released over Sanctuary, it was like a bomb going off. Deciding that Pamela probably wouldn't stay on the phone for long, the telekinetic flew out of bed and quickly paced out of her room, opening the door with her powers to save time.

"They're… me…." The eighteen year old's crackled voice said.

"Pam, listen to me. You have to stay on the line for at least thirty seconds," She took the phone away from her face, "JESSE!" Cassy yelled at the top of her voice before she started typing furiously in one of the many keyboards in the cave. The lights suddenly flicked on in the main area, they were fitted with censors to turn on when activity was sensed on the computers.

"In… shadows… marshmallow…" Her voice came again.

The blonde's eyes widened, knowing what Pamela had just said, "Pamela! Listen to me! The marshmallow men aren't after you!" She rolled her eyes when she realized how stupid that sounded.

"Why are you yelling my name and talking about marshmallow men?" A bleary eyed Jesse asked, walking out of his room in only a pair of checkered boxers.

"Leave the bullshit at the door and trace this call," She snapped, straining her ear to hear another one of Pamela's strained sentences while Jesse sighed and began to take over from Cassy on the keyboard.

"Cass… me…" A desperate plea came through the phone before the line went dead. The blonde cursed loudly and snapped her cell shut.

"Did you get it?" She asked.

Pamela whipped her head upwards towards the sky, watching the rain fall in front of a flickering street lamp in the alleyway. Her hair was plastered to her face and head after being out in the wet so long, blood was flowing freely from her forehead and her knuckles were even worse. She had had to fight a lot to get all the way to Manhattan.

Growling slightly when the door of the phone box jammed, she lost her patience and took a step back, releasing a small telekinetic blast at the door and throwing it off its hinges. Pamela ignored booming clap of thunder above her, looking around the soaked alleyway with bloodshot eyes before raising her hands suddenly and blowing up a trash can, making garbage fly everywhere.

"DIE!" She screamed, spinning around swiftly and shattering a part of a brick wall with her powers, "They're all around me…" The teen growled, her eyes almost glowing in the haunting fluorescent glow from the street lamp, "Leave me… ALONE!"

Pamela swung her left arm out from her right side; a ripple of advanced telekinetic energy flowed from her limb and rushed through the confined space, blasting everything forwards as the energy ripped through the alley. Large dumpsters flew into the air while fire escapes from nearby buildings creaked and groaned as they were pulled from the wall and thrown roughly from the ground.

After a satisfying clatter, Pamela grinned to herself, she had killed the marshmallow men.

Piper slammed the cordless phone down forcefully on its holder, narrowing her eyes to make the intensity of the light from the lightning easier to see. Darryl's search for the currently missing Pamela hadn't turned up any news so far. Scrying, summoning, sensing and even just random orbing had turned up nothing for the sisters, and with Aidan blind, Skye too busy and the rest dead, they couldn't call open the power of the elementals to help. The eldest Halliwell witch ran a hand through her chestnut brown hair and shouted upstairs,

"Phoebe! Get down here!" She yelled, storming into the kitchen after hailing her younger sister. As she walked in, Piper found both of her sons sitting at the dining room table with sad looks on their faces.

"You guys…" She frowned, "What's the matter?"

Chris looked up towards her with his bottom lip trembling, "Why does all the bad stuff happen to you and Auntie Pheebs and Auntie Paige?"

The witch gave her four year old son a shocked look; she hadn't expected a question like that, "Sweetie…" She walked towards him and knelt down, "What are you talking about?"

He sniffed, "Uncle Aidan can't see, Auntie Emma's lost her special friend and she's got a baby, and Pammy's went away." Chris looked at his mother, tears forming in his eyes, "Don't she like us no more?"

Piper's eyes grew cloudy as she put one arm one her four year old son and another hand over her mouth, "No sweetie… She's… just, sick." She pulled back and dried his eyes, "I'm sure she misses you really much," Piper smiled and assured him.

Wyatt silently slid off his chair and walked over to his mother, who outstretched her arm and pulled them into a three way hug, comforting with of her children just as Leo orbed in with Aidan and Paige while Phoebe and Brennan walked in from the attic.

"Hey, easy," Paige spoke quietly patting Aidan's arm lightly as she held his wrist.

"Where are we?" The elemental blinked a few times behind his pitch black glasses.

"We're in the kitchen in the Manor," She explained, tapping Aidan's arm again.

"You called?" Phoebe said with a serious tone.

"Um… Yeah," Piper glanced at her boys, "Could you two go play in your room while the grown ups talk?" She asked sweetly.

Chris immediately complied, but Wyatt, being older, could tell that they were trying to get rid of them. The six year old bowed his head as he left, following his little brother towards the stairs.

Paige rolled her eyes when a clap of thunder sounded over the house, "God… It didn't stop all night and it's still going!"

"You okay?" Phoebe frowned at her sister, knowing that the youngest Charmed One had a fear of thunder and lightning.

"I told her to take the bed…" Aidan murmured under his breath.

Paige shot a look at him, "And I told you that you needed it more than I did,"

"Um… Speaking of needs," Brennan chipped in, handing a piece of paper to Piper, "This was on the front of Emma's door when we were coming down the stairs,"

Everyone,

Although I appreciate your sympathy and support, you pity is overloading my senses and I would prefer to be left alone for the time being.

Emma

The eldest Halliwell let out a groan as she crumpled up the piece of paper and threw it at the trash can. Leo, who could see that his wife was heavily stressed, decided to take over and carry the burden of coordinising everyone.

"I think we should just let Emma sort out her feeling first. She won't be able to get a handle on her abilities until she's calmed down and therefore won't be able to filter our emotions." He turned to Paige, "Is Skye going to be a part of helping us find the new elementals?"

She nodded, "We won't be able to it without her anyway." Paige gave uncertain look to Aidan then looked back to her brother in law, "Will you manage to do this without-,"

Aidan cut her off, "Paige, I don't need you to look after me. I have Sandy if I want to go out; I still can't believe how good a guide dog she is,"

"No, I'm staying with you. If you're going to be living in the apartment, you're gonna need to know where everything is and where everything is set around the place if and when I decide to leave you on your own,"

Aidan opened his mouth to protest, but he decided against it, knowing he wouldn't win.

Leo sighed and shook his head, turning to Phoebe and Brennan, "Are you guys helping on this one?"

"Um… Actually…" Brennan hesitated, "I thought I would go into work and see if Pamela had been admitted to any hospitals in the country, we might be able to track her down that way,"

"So, I guess that leaves you, me and Skye," Phoebe said to Leo, nodding her head slightly.

As if on command, there was a gust of wind that flew around the kitchen, making everyone think that the back door had been blown open and the storm had been let in, but then a funnel began to form and Skye appeared from the tornado.

Two silver gauntlets covered and protected her hands. The shiny metal ran halfway up her forearm and was made with ridges that stuck out jaggedly. The edges of the metal ridges curved into wisps, making it look like small gusts of wind. The parts that covered her hand were also made of solid silver, or it seemed to be, although it seemed to bend and manipulate to Skye's hand position. In the center of the back of her hands, there were discs made out of gold that had etchings of clouds, hurricanes and lightning all over them.

"I think those are a little over the top," Paige cocked her eyebrows at the hand wear.

Skye rolled her eyes, "Cute. Actually, these are Zeus's Gauntlets, sorta makes sense since he's the God of the Skies,"

But Piper's eyes widened at the other object in Skye's hand, "I'm more concerned about the sword you've just brought into a house full of children! One of which, is a newborn!" She exclaimed, referring to Lorna.

Aidan chuckled, "I take it she's brought Hephaestus's Blade?"

Skye nodded quickly, "Hurry! I need somewhere to put this down!" Her eyes lit up when as she saw the kitchen counter was free. The wind elemental rushed towards the island and dropped the weapon with a resounding clang, immediately looking at her gauntlet covered hand afterwards.

"Ugh… That stung," Skye held up her palm to show everyone that it was glowing an angry orange colour. The sword had singed her hand.

"Let me heal that for you," Leo put out his hand, but Skye pulled hers away.

She smiled, "Thanks, but it's not burnt, it's just really hot." She explained, smiling a cooling sensation came from inside the gauntlet and made the heat disappear.

"Wait a minute, did you lift the sword? With your hands?" Aidan began looking around frantically, trying to figure out what direction he should be talking in.

"No, with my feet," Was her sarcastic comeback, "Don't worry about it, the gauntlets protected me,"

"Skye…" Aidan said in a fatherly tone, making Paige smile a little without anyone noticing.

"What? Without your help, I need the blade to find the fire elemental and I couldn't get it out of the chamber without carrying it. I think I was pretty resourceful," She put her hands in her hips proudly.

"Can we please just get all the magical stuff over with?" Piper snapped, coming up from her head in hands position, timing it along with a clap of thunder and a flash of lightning outside.

Everyone stood silently before Phoebe spoke, "Don't we need Apollo's Axe as well? To find Earth…" She trailed off slightly as her thoughts went to Grant.

"How is she?" Skye asked with genuine concern.

"She doesn't come out her room unless we're all out the house, which is practically never since we're always tied down by demons, magic and death!" The eldest fumed, getting up her chair and stomping out the room.

"Do you guys miss him?" Paige asked both water and wind elementals.

Aidan nodded immediately, "After everything that's been going on, he's the friend that's been there all the way through it. I just wish there was something I could do to help him now, or at least,"

Skye seemed to be thinking of an answer, "Well, as an elemental, I don't really feel sorry," Everyone gave her a shocked and disgusted look, "Only because of the whole opposing element thing!" She quickly explained further, "But when you take away the powers…" Skye bowed her head, "It was just… before his time, and it's not fair,"

Everyone sat in silence until a clap of thunder stirred them, making them look out the window at the rain falling from the sky. It was so dark, yet it was only eleven in the morning.

"Uh… I'm gonna go," Brennan whispered to his wife before planting a kiss on her temple and walking out of kitchen towards the front door.

"I guess we better get searching," Leo advised to Phoebe and Skye, "Why don't you grab the sword and try scrying with it,"

"What are you going to do?" Phoebe asked.

"Talk to my wife,"

Emma looked down at her daughter in the crib. The empath's room was bathed in candle light as she found it rather soothing on the dark morning instead of harsh light. The space was calming and it was exactly what Emma needed. She wondered if Lorna had already developed some sort of empathy power, and if she had, it made the mutant feel extremely guilty that she was subjecting a child, her child, to her grief.

Looking towards the window that was being lashed with rain, Emma sighed and put her hands in her back jean pockets, glancing at her reflection in the vanity. Even though a normal person wouldn't see it, Emma, who had spent her entire life reading other's emotions, knew that it was just a façade. She smirked slightly at the thought of seeing through herself before moving back to the bed, where Apollo's Axe lay.

The weapon looked blunt in a way, now that the magical connection had been severed with its owner. Emma ran her hand across the handle, remembering when she had did it to the blade and decided to avoid getting cut. The psionic let out another sigh before her tears began to well up in her eyes, but before she could lose it properly, Lorna began to stir in her crib.

"Morning sweetie…" She grinned down at the baby redhead, who giggled and wriggled her limbs. If Emma had to guess, she would that her child had the age of the a three month old baby, as she wasn't as small as a newborn and seemed to be not as big as old babies.

The psionic suddenly frowned at Lorna; she could have sworn that an orange flash had passed over her eyes for a split second. The baby pointed at the axe through the space between the bars on the crib, Emma's brow creased even more when she saw a gold glint pass over the weapon.

She looked from the axe to Lorna with wide eyes, "No… You can't be…" She whispered.

Lorna cooed softly before beginning to glow a pale pink colour. Her tiny body suddenly dispersed into thousands of tiny pieces of glowing pink grain, flying up and putting on a dazzling light show as the little one orb-sanded towards her father's weapon.

Apollo's Axe, as if responding to the glowing swarm of pink sand, began to float into the air and the orange aura that surrounded it got even brighter as it moved closer to the cloud of pink sand. It seemed to dance as the sand flew around it, spinning around in the haze of pink before suddenly giving off a burst of geokinetic energy, blasting everything in the room towards the four walls and knocking Emma unconscious as she smacked her head off the chest of drawers.

Piper leaned against the wall in the living room with her arms folded across her chest. She could see that the street was empty, probably due to the sever flooding that the city was being subjected to thanks to the weather. The witch's eyes were dull and loaded with sadness and grief.

"Piper…" Leo murmured cautiously, trying to avoid an outburst.

She ran her tongue along the roof of her mouth before speaking, "Chris just asked me why all the bad stuff happens to us," Her husband remained silent, "What can I tell him? I mean, how am I supposed to react to that? Especially when it's the truth. Aidan's blind, Pam's run off, Grant's dead, and Emma's had to adjust to motherhood within the space of a second. How am I supposed to keep everyone together when everyone is determined to break apart?"

"Piper, you can't blame yourself," He meekly replied, bowing his head slightly.

"Can't I? There has obviously been something wrong with Pam for a while now. She was acting so strange, if I had done something or paid more attention, she wouldn't be out on the streets right now… What?" Piper shot a look at Leo when she saw he was smiling.

"It's just…" He grinned, "Do you really believe that Pam is in some alley using a newspaper for cover? Honey, we're talking about the girl who has been to almost every country, has contacts in the strangest places, and, last but not least, drop kicked a meter maid!"

Piper had to smile at that. Pamela had been given forty hours of community service and a court order to attend an anger management class.

"I hope you're right," She replied, "Because Pam also knows how to cover her tracks. If she doesn't want us to find her then we won't,"

"We won't, but Arc will." Leo smirked slightly, "Apparently, thanks to the magic she infused him with when she created him, he can track her through it."

She frowned, "What magic did she use?"

"Something pretty powerful…"

Phoebe was sitting on the floor in front of the table that had all the scrying equipment on it. She stared at Hephaestus's Blade with narrow eyes, trying to figure out a way to hold it without being burned.

"Maybe if I just..." She thought aloud, carefully pressing a finger on the hilt, but she regretted it a hissing sound burst from the blade and burned her fingertip, "Ow!" She exclaimed, shaking her hand vigorously in the air before putting her finger in her mouth and forming a pout.

She whipped her head round to where Skye was sitting, thoroughly amused, "Have your gauntlets repaired themselves yet?" Phoebe snapped.

"Hold on…" The elemental replied calmly, watch as the whole in the palm of gauntlet finally disappeared, "Done," She got up and walked towards the table, kneeling down them putting her hand on the sword. It hissed and sparked immediately from the touch of anyone other than a fire elemental.

Phoebe quickly took Skye's free hand and begun to spin the amethyst crystal above the map of the world.

"How's it going?" Leo asked as he came into the room.

"We've just started scrying," Phoebe informed, her eye twitching slightly as she felt the crystal tugging towards a point on the map. "I still don't know how we're going to convince the new elemental that is one. I mean, an angel, a witch, and an elemental appear out of nowhere and tell you you're a powerful magical being? I would even freak out."

"All they need to do is touch the sword. Everything else will fall into place after that," Skye explained before wincing, "Okay, hurry up! This is starting to get really, really hot!"

"You guys! Come and see this!" Piper's voice shouted from the bottom floor.

Phoebe's eyes went wide as the crystal dropped, "Okay, why has it landed in the middle of the North Pacific?"

"What?" Skye peered forward.

"I'll go see what Piper wants," Leo announced before walking out of the room and down the stairs of the attic while Phoebe and Skye marveled at where the crystal had dropped.

"Look at this," Piper pointed towards the television as she pressed a button on the remote to increase the volume.

"So when is the funnel scheduled to hit the coast?" The news girl asked the reporter. The screen switched to a reporter who was getting bombarded by the wind and rain as he stood at the docks of San Francisco.

"Well Gill, weather experts say that this is one of the fiercest storms in the history of the world. You might be able to see it…" He gestured out towards the choppy ocean, indicating the camera man to zoom in.

In the darkness of the horizon, a thick, black cylinder of wind could be seen on the sea. The water was rising up around it as it almost created a typhoon with the force of its gusts.

"Tom, sources tell us that a ship carrying oil is still out there. Any word on its safe return to port?"

"I'm afraid not Gill, those brave men out there are, unfortunately, thought to be doomed. The funnel should reach the city within an hour,"

"Oh my God…" Leo breathed.

A cloud of orbs fell through the ceiling as Paige appeared with Aidan, immediately letting go of his hand as they arrived, "Hey, have you seen the news?"

"About the tornado?" Piper gestured at the TV set.

"Not just that! These things are happening everywhere! Flash floods in Brazil, freak snowstorms in Japan, and hailstones the size of soccer balls are falling the UK!"

"It's like the whole world is shutting off the heat," Leo thought aloud.

"I'm sure I've seen this in a movie somewhere…" Piper mused.

Aidan nodded, "Earth and fire are aligning elements. With both of their representatives dead, wind and water are taking the world apart with these weather conditions."

"You guys…" Phoebe grabbed their attention as she walked in with Skye, "The fire elemental keeps moving gradually along in the North Pacific. We think they're an a boat or something,"

Piper and Leo exchanged looks, remembering the news report, "It can't be…"

Pink orbs descended from the ceiling as Emma appeared, holding Lorna. Everyone was too overwhelmed by the current situation to immediately feel pity for the empath, so she quickly announced her news.

"Lorna's the new earth elemental," She said flatly.

The group gave a blank look before Piper groaned and flopped back in her chair, "This is too many realizations for me!"

"How do you know?" Aidan asked her, looking around for where he had heard Emma's voice come from.

"The fact that her and Apollo's Axe seemed enjoy each others company and destroying the contents of my room seem to tell me,"

"Wait…" Skye put her hands up, making everyone go silent, "I suddenly have a strong dislike for that kid." She announced, horrifying everyone, "Don't you get it? That means that she's the earth elemental for sure! I usually love children!"

"Still doesn't make it alright that you don't like my child," Emma shot a look at Skye. The two usually got along.

"Okay, so after we find the fire elemental, that should fix everything, right?" Phoebe gave a questioning look to Aidan, who didn't reply as he didn't see the look.

Paige tapped his arm slightly, "What? Oh! Sorry! And no, I don't think so. The balance has been severely damaged. After we find the fire elemental, them, me, Skye, and… Lorna," He hesitated, "Will perform the balancing ceremony in the Elemental Chamber along with a spell from you guys,"

"Alright!" Piper exclaimed, standing up and finally taking charge, "Here's what we're going to do. Paige and I will work on a spell in the Chamber and we'll take Aidan, Emma and Lorna with us. You three…" She gestured to Leo, Phoebe, and Skye, "Will go find the newcomer." She clapped her hands, "Okay, break!"

The ghostly sound of the hull groaning what the first thing that hit Phoebe's ears as she and Skye gusted onto the ship while Leo orbed in next to them. A screeching sound was coupled with the ship tilting violently and throwing the three of them into the wall of the small corridor they had arrived.

"This is the way to travel…" Phoebe said to her companions sarcastically as she wrapped her raincoat around her more tightly and pulled her hat down more.

"Kind of ironic that the fire elemental is out at sea…" Leo commented.

"We're close…" Skye said, noticing that the sword in her hand was growing hotter.

"Um… guys?" Phoebe tapped them on the shoulders, "We're not the only ones."

Three scruffy looking men were standing at the other end of the corridor, each of them had wicked grins on their faces as the leader raised his hand, conjuring a fireball. Demons.

"We like the world as it is. We're not going to let you screw it up!" He warned, swinging her arm back before releasing the globe.

"Duck!" Leo shouted, making the girls hit the deck as the fireball flew straight over them and hit the door that was marked 'engine room'

"We can't fight here, it's too confined." Phoebe advised, watching as the three demons advanced on them.

"C'mon, down here." Skye gestured down the hall. The three of them began to run while the demons threw more fireballs. Leo, aggravated from the assault, turned around and let loose a small blot of lightning. It smacked the first demon in the chest and knocked him to the ground, giving the group enough time to reach the engine room.

The sound of machinery was deafening in this room. Steam was pouring out of various contraptions, letting loose a hissing noise to go with the vibrating hum that ran though the large space.

"Split up. We'll meet back here after we've taken them out." Skye instructed. The other two nodded, Phoebe was a little hesitant as she only had her spell casting power, but she nodded anyway and started across the metal walkway. But before any of them could get away from each other, the three demons shimmered in front of them, blocking their exit.

Skye circled her enemy on the large metal grate they were standing on, taunting him slightly with a smirk and waving. The demon took the bait and Skye threw out her hand, the emblem on the back of the gauntlet glowed as a tornado flew from Skye's palm. The funnel blasted the evil being in the chest, throwing him across the room and not to mention causing a strong wind in the area. Getting up and spitting the blood out of his mouth, the demon shimmer in right in front of her and went for a punch, but Skye grabbed his fist, tapping into the power of Zeus's Gauntlet's and crushing it easily before smacking the demon in the stomach and sending him flying towards the wall, where he was impaled in a metal maintenance rod before exploding in a fiery vanquish.

Leo threw out a carefully aimed lightning bolt, making it wouldn't hit any of the engines if it missed. The demon ducked and rolled to the ground, flinging a fireball at the elder and making him blow up in a swirl of orbs before reforming. Leo gave the being a murderous look.

"That hurt…" He growled, throwing out another perfectly aimed lightning bolt, which the demon dodged with the same strategy. But this time, Leo orbed out before the fireball could hit him, orbing back in behind the enemy and blasting him with two powerful shots of electricity. The demon was lifted into the air as he writhed and screamed before combusting in a shower of sparks.

Phoebe took her fighting stance before dropping down and swinging her right leg at the demons feet, trying to sweep him as she spun on her left foot. He submitted as his feet gave out he fell to the metal surface, but the demon quickly got up while Phoebe was still crouched on the ground. Noticing a metal chain on the ground, the middle Halliwell dropped to her back and thrust out her legs, kicking her enemy in the chest and making him stumble back as she grabbed the metal chain.

"Stupid wi-," He was cut off by Phoebe suddenly leaping on him and forcing him to ground. She wrapped the ends of the chain in her hands before putting it over the demon's neck, pinning his head to the floor and cutting off his air supply at the same time.

Phoebe expected the battle to be won after that, but the demon just smirked and grabbed hold of the chain before shimmering out and taking the chain with him. The witch looked around wide eyed, fearful of where the enemy would materialize. Sure enough, Phoebe stood up and turned around just in time for the demon to shimmer in and push her to the floor, pinning her neck down with the metal chain and slowly choking her and she writhed.

"Phoebe!" Leo called out, running towards his struggling sister in law.

The demon smirked as Phoebe squirmed, trying to get free from his grip. He grinned as she stopped squirming; he thought she had just given up until he looked at her face. It was calm and serene, instead of the fearful and in pain expression that been there a few moments ago. Phoebe's eyes burst open, revealing that they had turned into two lightning filled orbs; she smirked before raising her hands and pulling the demon and his chain off her.

"You shall not harm my child's guardian," She said with a voice that seemed to torn between Phoebe's voice and someone else's.

A massive amount of lightning and static electricity flew from her wide eyes and hit the demon, sending extreme voltage through his body and finally ending in his vanquish. The stray bolts from Phoebe's eyes hit the machinery and steam began to pour from them. A red light began to flash in the room and an alarm echoed.

There was a blue flash, signifying that the alien presence had left the witch. Phoebe let out a loud gasp and put her hands on her knees; taking deep breathes before looking up with a puzzled expression, "What happened?"

"You don't remember?" Leo frowned. She shook her head.

"It doesn't matter right now, but your little wig out blew most of the engines. These guys now have no chance of avoiding the tornado." Skye snapped.

"Then we better find the right person and fix everything before the tornado hits." Phoebe said with a wavering confidence before they continued walking. She looked back with a strange glance, still seeing the smoke of her 'wig out'.

The Angel's Melody hummed beautifully through the Elemental Chamber. The walls sparkled and glowed with sheer magic, while the water lapped at the bases of the platforms that were dotted around the chamber. The water seemed to reflect a clear night sky as stars could be seen on the surface. It was a haven.

The serenity, of course, was broken by the ranting of Piper Halliwell.

"Where are they?" She looked at her watch again, "That tornado is going to hit the city in ten minutes, not to mention tear apart our homes!"

"Would you stop it?" Paige snapped, "You're making me nervous!"

"Well, you should be nervous. Are you guys ready?" She asked Aidan, who had been orbed to the platform that had a statue of his elemental form on it.

"Yeah!" He called back, nervously pressing his hands on the statue.

"Emma?" Paige called kindly to the psionic, who was placing her daughter's hand on the statue of Grant's elemental form. The stone golem.

"Yeah…" Emma called back, tears welling up as she looked at the pillar.

Piper's eyes lit up when orbs and wind filled the air. Leo appeared; he had his hand on Phoebe's shoulder as she looked down at her feet. Skye gusted in with a tall man, with messy black hair that covered his eyes slightly. He was of medium built and was wearing in oily overall, not to mention carrying the Blade of Hephaestus.

"Okay Maxwell, I'm going to take you to that statue over there," Skye pointed to the large stone dragon on one of the platforms.

"Alright," Maxwell replied before Skye grabbed his shoulder and gusted them over to the fire statue.

"Why is he acting to cool?" Paige cocked an eyebrow at the new elemental.

"Um… well…" Leo stammered, hitting his hands together lightly, "I used a cooperation charm on him, just to make things go a little quicker,"

"Are you allowed to do that?" Piper smirked at her husband.

"When the world is at stake, yes," He retorted.

Phoebe walked towards her sisters, still with her head bowed, "You got the spell?" She droned. All four elementals had taken their places.

"Yeah," Piper pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket, "Are you okay?"

She looked up and forced a smile, "Sure. Let's do this," She took her place next to Piper as she held out the spell.

Each of the elementals closed their eyes, even Lorna as they began to glow their respective colours. The light from each person slowly began to flow into the statue in front of them, filling them with pent up energy as the three elementals capable of talking were put into a trance where they muttered an ancient language. The Charmed Ones began to chant their spell.

"Earth, wind, water, and fire,

Them all united, is our desire,"

They repeated their spell until white hot light shot from the four statues, flying up into the endless ceiling of the Elemental Chamber and heading out towards the world, where it would correct the balance.

The fishermen of San Francisco docks look out to the sea in fear as they saw the funnel getting even closer. All of them had to hold onto their hats as the wind flew by them at an alarming speed, almost knocking them all to the ground.

But before anything else could happen, the wind died down, along with the intensity of the rain. The men took their hands off their hats and looked out to where the tornado was now spinning a lot slower. It eventually dissipated, leaving only the view of a stranded ship on the horizon as the sun shone through a crack in the clouds.

NEXT TIME: Phoebe confides in Brennan about her experience on the ship. Aidan is angry and embarrassed when Paige loses her temper at a store clerk for trying to take advantage of the elemental's disability. Cassy finds Pamela and gives her a choice; go into the mutant underground, or go home. Which shall she choose?

Chapter 28 should be up soon!

PS: Do you guys think that my chapters are getting too long? Because this one was around 10 pages in Microsoft Word and I just want to make that this isn't too much to read. Thanks!
