"Who the hell are you?" Piper demanded tearfully as she prepared to blow the intruder up.
"I have the answers you seek." She replied.
"The new Seer." Phoebe said sensing her power.
"What answers?" Leo demanded.
"The answers you seek." she replied. "How your son defeated Zanku, why you can't heal him, why she's alive."
"What do you mean why She's alive?" Piper demanded.
"She wasn't too long ago." She began turning to Kyle. "You were surprised when you sensed her life."
"Why would he." Paige began.
"Because, before the blast, I felt her die." Kyle admitted. "But then I felt her come back, how?"
"You know the answer to that, even if you aren't ready to face it." she replied. "He's healing her."
"He can't, not even an elder can heal the dead." Leo began.
"No, but he's not an elder, he so much more." She replied. "As his life fades, her's returns."
"What are you saying." Wyatt asked.
"Chris is sacrificing himself, to save Buffy." Piper said shocked. "But how?"
"That even I don't know." she admitted. "But I do know if we don't leave this place soon, we'll all perish." She added as the cavern began to quake.
"Your coming with us." Paige said grabbing her arm as they orbed out.
The irony wasn't lost on Leo as he carefully laid his son down in the spot he'd died all those years ago as Cole placed the woman he loved carefully down next to him.
"Now, your gonna start talking, and not in riddles." Piper said swallowing her tears as she took charge. She could fall apart later right now she had to save her son. "I have some questions."
"Such as?" the seer asked.
"How did you survive, the blast, whatever it was?" Paige asked.
"I foresaw it, so I made sure to protect myself with a magical shield much like your son used to protect you." She shrugged.
"What was it?" Phoebe asked.
"I don't know, honestly." She replied. "You'll have to ask a higher power about that. But I can tell you what I saw, what it felt like. Raw pure power, the strength of witch unrivaled by even the hallow."
"Maybe if we combine our powers." Leo said standing over Chris with Wyatt and Kyle beside him.
"It wont work." The seer said. "He's not injured."
"What do you mean not injured?" Piper demanded.
"Well, look at him." The seer said. And Piper did finally noticing what she hadn't through her panic before. He looked fine, their wasn't a mark or bruise on his body.
"How.." Piper said stunned. "What exactly happened down there?"
"I don't know how to describe it." The seer began.
"Then show me." Phoebe demanded. "I know you can, The old seer did once."
"The old seer?" She began. "Oh Cysta. She was many seers ago. We don't last long. Our visions aren't always appreciate. Just because I can see the future doesn't mean I can make it turn out as they wish. But, if you want." She finished holding out her hands.
"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." The energy surrounded him around him moving outward like a ripple knocking the occupants of the cavern from their feet. Chris glanced back checking to make sure Wyatt had placed up his shield up as he closed his eyes concentrating. He began glowing a soft golden color as the demons around him withered in agony exploding.
"You'll have to do better than that." Zanku shouted being the only demon able to remain on his feet.
"I'm not done yet." he said concentrating again.
"Chris." Buffy gasped weakly as her eyes opened.
"It worked." Chris said relived.
"What's going on?" Buffy coughed the dust filling the air.
"Close your eyes." Chris instructed.
"What?" Buffy began confused as it hit her. "NO" she shouted.
"I'm sorry, I have to." Chris replied calmly. "I love you Buffy."
"Chris!" She screamed as a blinding light shot from his body killing all the demons it touched including Zanku. The cave quaked as the ceiling started caving in. Buffy watched as Chris slumped to the floor just as the rocks covered her.
Phoebe gasped as the vision ended. Staring shocked at the seer in front of her.
"But how?" Phoebe asked.
"I don't know." The seer replied. "But she's fighting him which should give you time to intervene."
"Why are you helping us?" Paige asked not ready to trust the demon before her.
"I have my reasons." She replied. "And no, before you ask, I am not like your friend Cysta, I have no wish to be human."
"Then why?" Piper demanded. "What do you get out of this?"
"I have foreseen the outcome of this as well, and it is all of our best interest to stop your son." She explained. "Bringing her back will mean the end of us all."
