Thanks for all the great reviews. They make me want to, or should I say, Guilt me into updating sooner. Just kidding. Now to answer questions, as to Buffy's new powers, she'll be learning more about them soon. As to the scoobies, will we see more of them? Well...Like I would really tell you, you'll have to read and see.
"You guys need to get out of here." Buffy began.
"What about Chris." Wyatt asked.
"He's covered." Buffy replied. "I hope."
"If you think we're just going to leave him here." Piper began.
"He knows what he's doing, I think." Buffy sighed.
"You think." Piper said shaking her head.
"I trust him." Buffy replied.
"Paige is hurt." Phoebe said cradling her unconscious sister.
"We have to get out of here." Cole added tiredly.
"Just go." Buffy replied.
"What about you?" Piper asked.
"I'm staying." Buffy declared.
"I am too." Wyatt said firmly.
"Fine, the rest of you need to go." Buffy urged as they reluctantly left.
"What now?" Wyatt asked.
"Now," Buffy began nervously. "It's up to Chris."
"You're a fool." Zanku smirked.
"Why Because I'm not afraid of you?" Chris asked. "Your plan failed, the Charmed ones got away."
"For the moment," Zanku shrugged. "I'll enjoy the pain your death brings them."
"Sorry, but I'm not planing to die." Chris replied.
"Well, plans change." Zanku smirked tossing him into the wall.
"We shouldn't have just left them." Piper said pacing.
"They can handle it." Leo tried to reassure her.
"How, we couldn't take Zanku down without almost killing ourselves too." Paige sighed.
"To be honest we didn't take him out, the nexus did." Phoebe added. "And they don't have that kind of power."
"Ok, we need a plan." Piper declared. "A way to duplicate the nexus's power, or something like that, anything."
"I have been working on some new potions." Paige began.
"I'll start the spell." Phoebe offered.
"If we somehow combine the one we used on Cole and the one for the avatars." Paige thought aloud.
"But, that didn't kill me." Cole cut in.
"No, but you we're invincible then sweetie." Phoebe reminded him.
"True." Cole nodded.
"So, we're not going to let them handle it?" Kyle asked.
"Of course not." Leo sighed.
"Chris." Buffy winced as he was unable to dodge Zanku's blast. She rushed to his side.
"Why are you doing this?" She glared.
"Honestly?" Zanku asked. "I'm evil."
"You're a joke." Buffy declared standing up. "A big bad demon the Charmed one's already vanquished back for revenge. Let me tell you I've seen this movie, it doesn't end well for you. So why don't you just leave him alone."
"Hey, your boyfriend attacked me." Zanku smirked.
"What did you expect, a high five? You kidnaped me, from our wedding." Buffy said furiously.
"Temper, temper slayer." Zanku taunted.
"All set?" Piper asked.
"I think so." Paige said pouring the mixture into some vials.
"Spells ready." Phoebe replied.
"Then let's go." Piper declared.
"Wyatt." Piper said nervously rushing to his side.
"I'm ok." He said as Leo helped him up. "He's too strong, even excalibur barely fazed him. He knocked Chris out cold, Buffy's not holding up so well, she jumped in before he could kill him."
"She's getting the hang of her new powers though." Cole said as she sent another energy ball flying at the arrogant demon.
"We have a plan." Piper began but was cut off as Buffy was hurled into the wall hitting it with a sickening thump.
"Buffy." Chris groaned shifting slightly just in time to see her land beside him. "Buffy." He said more alert when she didn't respond. "BUFFY." He called shaking her. "Buffy wake up." He begged.
"I guess you were right." Zanku smirked. "You didn't die."
"I told you to keep your hands off her." Chris said standing unsteadily.
"Or what, you'll bleed on me?" Zanku laughed.
"You son of a bitch." Chris screamed throwing up his hands Zanku braced himself to be thrown but, noone expected what happened next.
"Is he..." Piper trailed off stunned.
"He is." Paige replied shocked.
"But, that's not possible, he's not an Elder." Phoebe said confused.
"But, he's the son of one." Leo replied surprised. "I think he's tapping into those powers they're so afraid of."
"This isn't possible." Zanku said screaming in agony as the lightning shooting from Chris's palms consumed him.
"I warned you." Chris said furiously. "You should have stayed the hell away from my family. And you should have never touched her. But don't worry, you'll never get that chance again, I'm going to make sure of that."
Wyatt barely had a chance to get his shield up before the room exploded in a burst of light. The blast knocked them all to the ground and as the dust cleared they stood slowly waiting to see what lay in the aftermath.
