A/N: And now for another little twist.

Chapter eighteen

Mika moved in front of his family, still in human form he snarled, "I won't let you hurt them."

"Do you really think you have a choice?" A voice from behind him called.

Taking his eyes off the Source for a moment he turned and saw Kira, her eyes coal black with the fallen bodies of Leo and the Halliwell sisters scattered around her.

"Kira what have you done?" he asked.

She stepped over Piper's body, "Relax," she said coolly, "they're not dead." She paused, waving casually over to the wall where the brothers were encased in an energy field, also unconscious, "Otherwise the twins wouldn't be here."

Mika's eyes darted between Kira and the Source, "Oh please." Kira laughed, "That thing over there is nothing. An Illusion."

To prove her point she waved her hand and the cloaked figure disappeared.

"Why?"

"Because it's much easier to do the work when you've got a puppet, old friend, you see, no one tries to eliminate you when you're just the Seer."

Angrily, Mika flung his hand out, the telekinesis never once reaching it's intended target as it was sent back to him at twice the force.

"Do you really think you can defeat me?" She yelled, "I'm the Source!"

Mika picked himself up off the ground, "Is that supposed to scare me?"

"You should fear me you piece of shit! I am the ruler of all evil!"

… … … … …

Inside the energy field Chris was slowly coming too, war drums pounding inside his head.

"Argh!" he groaned, rolling onto his side, "What happened?"

His eyes opened a little wider when he saw his brothers were unconscious, shaking Wyatt's shoulder he stopped when the Twice Blessed opened his eyes, "What happened?" Wyatt groaned.

Chris looked up and saw Mika and Kira, "Where's the Source?" Wyatt as he and Kit sat up beside Chris.

When Chris didn't answer they saw his eyes were closed, "Chris?"

Dark lashes parted and Chris turned to stare at his brothers, his eyes wide with fear, "Kira's the Source."

"What?" Wyatt and Kit asked simultaneously, "The Seer's the Source?"

Kit saw Leo and the Charmed Ones lying unconscious on the sand, "There goes the Source Vanquishing spell."

A look of an overwhelming epiphany spread over Chris' face, "Kit you're a genius!"

Wyatt slapped him over the back of the head, "They're unconscious dumb ass! And we're not the Power of Three! Kit's not our brother."

"Wyatt technically he and I share the same DNA. That makes us brothers despite what the Elders did."

"You're talking about doing the Power of Three invocation, aren't you?" Kit asked.

Chris nodded, "Then we can say the Source Vanquishing spell."

"Well that'd be great if we had the book." Wyatt mumbled.

"Please. I have the thing memorised remember?" he said with a hint of sarcasm.

… … … … …

During Chris' Power of Three revelation Mika had become a little worse for wear. There were electrical burns to his torso and right shoulder and his back was bleeding from hitting the rocks repeatedly.

He couldn't believe it. The one person he'd trusted for three hundred years had betrayed to him, lied to him. She was the SOURCE! Anger boiled beneath his blood, demonic qualities or no, he still believed in protecting his family. Even if the people from this timeline weren't his family he deep down was still a Halliwell.

He thrust his hands out, blue lightning flew from his fingertips and sent Kira into the wall, "You know, I just love it when girls play nasty."

Torrents of fire were unleashed from the Source's hands, but to her horror and Mika's surprise a green forcefield rose up in front of him.

"Well Mika, is there something you wanna share with the class?"

Mika shrugged, "Wiccan powers babe. Gotta love 'em."

… … … … …

"Alright, if we're going to do this. We better do it now, remember the invoking spell?" Chris asked, his brothers nodded and they began to chant.

Hear now the words of the witches

The secrets we hid in the night

The oldest of gods are invoked here

The great work of Magic is sought

In this night and in this hour

I call upon the ancient power

Bring us the power to we brothers three!

We want the power!

Give us the power!

A blue light washed over them, "Can you do anything about the energy field?" Kit asked Wyatt.

The future Source grumbled something unintelligible before producing a shimmering blue forcefield. Lowering the forcefield the energy field dissipated.

The three Halliwell children scrambled to their feet, "Wyatt, put the Dad and the sisters in a forcefield again." Chris said.

"What makes you boss?" Wyatt demanded.

"Just do it." Kit snapped.

Wyatt waved his hand and watched as the usual blue forcefield generated over their family.

"Hey bitch!" Kit called.

Kira's attention was ripped away from Mika and focused squarely on the three brothers.

"What did you call me?"

"I believe the word was…" Wyatt paused, "Bitch."

Alright, just repeat what I tell you telepathically. Chris said, keeping eye contact with the Source (Kira, not Wyatt. Duh!).

Brothers three, unite in this hour

Brothers three, unite in this hour

With the magic of good we invoke

With the magic of good we invoke

Rend this evil from it's power

Rend this evil from it's power

End her reign in eternal smoke

End her reign in eternal smoke

They all watched with satisfaction as Kira's body began to smoke then she spontaneously combusted. Leo, Piper and her sisters slowly regained consciousness.

Chris' eyes fell on Mika, who's demon form had changed dramatically, once red and black skin was lily white aside from where the burns were, his hair long and chocolate brown was splayed around him in the warm sand where he lay and his lips had the slightest hint of blue and his once black wings were also white.

Chris (who unconsciously had changed into his Angel form), raced to Mika's side, "No." he whispered, "No."

Mika smiled weakly, "Yes." He rose a hand to Chris' face, "You've done well Chris."

"You can't die Mika, not now. I need you."

Mika stole a glance at the others who were all crowding around them, "No you don't Chris. You have everyone you need, Mum, Dad, Aunt Paige, Aunt Phoebe and Wyatt and Kit."

"But-"

"But nothing." Mika said insistently, "They're your family whether you like it or not. And stop crying! I'm going home!"

Chris wiped furiously at his tears then smiled. Piper knelt beside Chris and Mika, placing a hand on Mika's cheek she smiled, "I'm so proud of you."

Mika nodded weakly, understanding evident in his tear filled green eyes. He knew he was dying. "I've waited so long to hear you say that." He smiled weakly, "I love you mum."

"Allow me one parting gift." Mika said, green eyes staring directly into Chris' as he thrust his hand upwards, his talons digging into Chris' chest. A flood of blue light ran down Mika's arm from Chris' chest. Chris' back arched as his wings disappeared for the last time. The legend of the Devil's Angel at that exact moment was erased and the destiny of Christopher Peregrine Halliwell was rewritten as Mika collapsed into ash.
