A/N: Hi all, how you been?

So after this chap there is only one more left...dun dun dun. I'm in the process of re-writing the sequel, it just depends on whether you guys would want to read it or not.

31. Good Meet Evil, Evil Meet Good.

There seemed so many stood across from them, that unconsciously each Halliwell glanced behind them and felt slightly eased at the fact they had a mass of people ready to help.

Suddenly a deafening sound of a war cry filled the air, causing the side of good to resist the urge to cover their ears. Evil was making themselves known and heard, trying to intimidate their opponents.

"Great." Phoebe sarcastically quipped, as the sound slowly died down.

"It will be." Cole grinned broadly, however at her questioning look, he decided to elaborate. "Half of them owe me a drink."

The comment causedthem all to turn to him, offering nothing more than a glare.

"It's not like none of you hold grudges." he added with a shrug of his shoulders.

A group of orbs suddenly formed in front of Prue, which slightly startled her. They materialized into a unknown whitelighter, with a face that made her feel a little uneasy. His expression was sombre and his nerves literally pulsated throughout his body.

"The Source has requested for you to meet him halfway." he spoke, doing nothing to ease her feelings.

Prue considered the matter for a minute before she gave the man a nod and began moving forward. Piper grabbed her sister's arm, causing Prue to stop still.

"Your not going alone. I'm coming." the second eldest insisted, not removing her hand from Prue's arm knowing the instant she did, her sister would leave.

"No." the eldest replied shortly, "You stay as close to your husband as possible. You hear me?"

Piper knew Prue was still mad that they wouldn't leave but it was no reason to go unprepared and slightly blinded by her anger. "Prue."

"Andy, will you come with me?" Prue asked, ignoring her sister's plea and removing her arm from Piper's grip.

"Sure." he replied, although he was rather worried about the tension between all of the Halliwell sisters.

"Promise me you won't do anything stupid." Piper stated.

"Promise." Prue replied turning to head down the field with Andy nearby.

Phoebe and Paige walked up to Piper, each watching as their older sister walked towards the Source.

"You know Prue has a different definition of stupid than we do." Phoebe sighed.

"More so when she's pissed off." Paige added, glancing to her other older sisters.

----------

"Piper's pregnant?" Andy asked quietly, once they had walked a small distance.

"What? How did you…." Prue trailed off as realisation dawned. "You read my thoughts!" she was really beginning to feel like kicking her own sides ass rather than the demons at this point.

"Not deliberately, yours I'm not able to control." he answered back.

"Great, just great. We are so sorting that out later." she responded, quickening her pace. "…and yes she is but nobody else knows."

Andy nodded, Not that that is not a disaster all in it's self, he heard originated from her mind.

"It'll be okay Prue, we'll protect her." he replied with out thinking.

Prue glanced at him and she again realised what she had thought. "Stop it!" she snapped.

"Sorry." but the apology fell empty as he grinned, enjoying just being back.

Andy was about to add something else when Prue stopped. He followed her gaze and found it was on a tall, cloaked figure, who emanated evil and power. Andy felt like cowering under the heavy feeling of power and was disturbed by the how intoxicating the presence was. The only other time he had felt even remotely similar was when he came face to face with Death himself.

"So you're the one who plans to be my downfall." the voice came from under the large hood, it was bold and would have made the leaves on the trees curl in fright.

Prue swallowed a gulp and produced a remarkable amount of courage, although her legs currently felt like giving in. "That's the plan." she quipped.

"Your own, however, will be you also but I will have pleasure in helping."

Andy felt useless right now, how could he protect Prue from a creature that reminded him of Death, who's unpredictable and unstoppable. He couldn't even infiltrate the Source's mind.

There is no use Lighter, your power's are limited. Your better of dead. the intense voice resounded in his head. Andy swore the Source was staring down at him when he heard that, the only problem was the hood he wore masked any sign of a face, just a never-ending sense of shadow and darkness.

"I won't give you the chance." Prue replied stonily.

"Your weakness, Charmed One, are those who stand up there. Your devotion will be your own downfall." the powerful leader turned away.

"I don't plan to fall." she called, unaware of the impact his few words caused.

"None of the dead do, ask your friend." with that he disappeared.

Prue glanced at Andy and for a brief moment tears brimmed in her eyes. She lost him before, she wasn't ready to lose anyone else. She never would be. Prue began to walk back up towards her family, wiping the stray tear from her eye away.

Andy moved quickly to her side. "Their also your strength, Prue." he assured her.

Prue haltered in her movement and turned to face him. "So I'm supposed to risk their lives for that."

"That's not what I'm saying. As much as you hate to admit it, you need them and they need you." he replied, a little hurt she thought he didn't understand.

How would you know? You haven't been here, resounded in both their minds and instantly Prue regretted the thought.

"Andy, I'm…"

"No, don't worry about it. I mean how could I understand, right?" Andy spat. Arguing; at least we're back on track, he thought bitterly.

"Andy, I'm sorry, I just….I can't lose them."

"Who said you would?" he asked.

"You."

"What?"

"You came back in my life and I thought you would be there forever….but you died, you left." Prue answered, unsure if she was making sense or not. "Why is it not possible for them to do the same?"

"I didn't leave by choice, Prue." Andy replied.

Prue heaved a sigh and pinched the bridge of her nose. "I know…I…can we talk later?"

"Sure." Andy answered shortly, before continuing up the field in silence, even though Prue spent a lot of her thoughts berating herself, making Andy feel guilty.

Once back Prue scanned her sisters faces, trying to reassure them and herself that everything would be alright. She knew that both the Source and Andy were right, they were equally her weakness and her strength. It wasn't new to her, she had known it, the frightening thing was the Source knew her weakness.

A cry ripped through the air and Prue turned to see them charging. Pushing everything aside, took control before it all fell apart.

"Potions ready!" she called, where echoes of her words sounded from other group leaders. "Go!" she shouted.

With her words an onslaught of fireballs, lightning, energy balls and any other power that had a distractive outcome was hurled at the charging demons and warlocks, causing them to hold back momentarily. They were trying to work out if charging the Charmed Ones and the army was the best plan.

It didn't last long as the Source began to destroy any who held back too long. Flames erupted either from the wave of the Source's hand or the impact of the mixture of offensive power. Soon they got the notion to continue forward and the Source's punishment went unused.

"Phoebe get that third of the group ready to throw the potions when they reach the tree I pointed out toyou, remember?" Prue called over to her sister.

"Yeah, I got it Prue." Phoebe replied, with a nod.

"Paige, do the same with the right side. Leo take Piper and prepare the Archers and the rest of them."

Leo took Piper's hand and they vanished in a mass of orbs, heading for the woods where various other magical creatures waited for the moment.

"Alright everybody, get ready, when they reach that tree!…Begin to relay the potions!" Paige ordered, as her sister had told her to. She smiled and turned to her mother. "I like this giving orders thing."

Patty could only shake her head in amusement.

"Grams can you prepare the rest." Prue shouted across to her grandmother.

"And where are your manners Prudence?"

Prue rolled her eyes, thinking of more important things right about now. "Please." she replied sweetly.

"Of course my dear." Penny answered, ignoring the hint of sarcasm on her eldest grandchild's voice.

Prue turned back to watch the demons and warlocks attempt to use their own powers, which caused very little damage at the moment.

Orbs appeared next to her and she glanced to find Leo and Piper materializing.

"There ready." Piper stated simply.

"You?" Prue asked, still slightly miffed that her sisters wouldn't listen to her earlier.

"Now or never." her younger sister replied, unable to hide her nervousness, which made Prue's anger dissolve slightly.

Prue glanced round, noticing Paige and Phoebe also looked nervous. They shouldn't be here, she thought, regretting ever accepting this. She then gazed behind her, where her eyes meet with those that belonged to Andy.

She knew he had heard her thought, as he gave her a solemn smile. I'm sorry, she told him without opening her mouth. Last thing she had wanted to do was snap at him earlier.

Andy came up closer behind her and took her hand in his, letting her know she had nothing to worry about.

The demons reached the desired point, which was announced by a joint order from the younger Halliwells. "Now!"

Suddenly potion vials flew above their heads, soaring through the air and colliding with the ground beneath evils feet, which swiftly exploded into flames. Cries of pain sounded from a few, who had the luxury to let the agony escape their mouths, others just disappeared into the dirt below them.

"Ha! It worked!" Phoebe cheered triumphantly, watching as the potion they slaved over worked to take out some of the demons and warlocks involved. It had been a risky potion to attempt to use but it had the effect they had been hoping for.

Rapidly a mound of Archers, Valkeries and Centaurs, as well as other creatures cascaded from out of the trees to the side of the opposition, barrelling into them with a large amount of speed.

That was Prue's cue. "Go!" she shouted, as they headed, at a fast pace, towards the front line of evil.

It was then, magical creatures and beings meshed together in the chaos that is Good and Evil.
