The dust began to clear and they stood almost afraid of what they'd find.
"Is everyone ok?" Piper coughed.
"Yeah." Phoebe wheezed.
"Never better." Cole groaned.
"I'm fine." Leo called.
"Me too." Kyle added helping the other man up.
"I'm good." Paige added. "What the hell was that?"
"I'm not sure." Leo replied groaning as Kyle pulled him to his feet.
"Wyatt." Piper called nervously he'd been right beside her when he put up his shield, she glanced around herself frantically.
"I'm ok." Wyatt replied. "But, I'm not so sure about Chris." He said walking to his brother's fallen form.
"Oh god." Piper cried her hand flying to her mouth as she saw his still body. "No please no."
"Is he..." Leo asked swallowing heavily as Piper Clung to him. Wyatt tentatively kneeling beside his brother. He was slowly reaching out to check for his pulse when Chris moaned.
"Thank god." Piper sighed collapsing into Leo's embrace.
"Buffy." Chris moaned causing them all to remember the fallen slayer.
"Oh god, we completely forgot." Phoebe said horrified as they searched the ruble for her.
"She's over here." Cole called spotting a hand under a pile of rocks.
"Is she alive?" Piper asked worriedly.
"I can still sense her, faintly." Kyle replied focusing. "We need to get her out now."
"I can't lift it." Cole said straining to remove a large piece of the fallen cave wall.
"Allow me." Paige said as he moved out of the way. "Boulder." She called tossing the orbs away from them all as it landed shaking the cavern. "Oh god." She cried seeing her bruised and battered form.
"We shouldn't have interfered!" A voice yelled.
"We had no choice." Another replied.
"There's always a choice." a third chimed in.
"And we made ours." The fourth said sadly. "Now we must deal with the events to come."
"We have to do something, help in some way." a fifth voice joined them.
"It's out of our hands now." The third voice replied.
"But we never saw this coming." The first insisted.
"But we should have." The second replied.
"So what happens now?" The fifth asked.
"It's in his hands." The fourth replied.
"When they find out..." The first trailed off.
"I know." the second sighed.
"Dad." Wyatt called nervously. "I can't heal him." Leo rushed over kneeling over his son.
"Leo?" Piper asked nervously.
"Buffy wont heal either." Kyle said frantically.
"I don't know what's happening." Leo confessed as his attempts failed as well.
"I do." A voice called from behind them.
