Amanda: We're cool. We're cool. No more spasms.
Mari: Heh… NO MORE SPASMS! YOUR KIDDING ME RIGHT?
Dyana: WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GONNA DO?
Piper: CHILL OUT! "Everyone stops dead." We're gonna let them read the chapter and FIND OUT!
Paige: Good idea Piper!
Phoebe: Of all people to keep her head on, Piper manages it. I'm proud of you honey. "Puts her hand on Piper's shoulders and a second later, looks at Piper with an irritated expression."
Phoebe: Your not breathing are you?
Piper: "Shakes her head" Nope.
Paige: "Laughs in background"
"Book of Shadows!" Phoebe cried, already halfway towards the staircase, "Paige, get the scry! Piper get the map. Amanda and Mari come with me. Leo, take Dyana and see of you can sense Sora. If you can have Dyana astral-project to the area he is so we can get an exact location. Don't just stand there!" She shouted, while she looked down on the shocked faces of her companions, "Move it! Move it!"
"Yes Sergeant Phoebe." Paige said sarcastically. Phoebe stuck her tongue out at her half-sister as her and Piper darted for the Conservatory. Leo grabbed Dyana's arm and orbed out. Amanda and Mari looked at each other as Phoebe started off for the attic again. They nodded confidently at each other, even though neither of them felt confident in the least bit. Then they both dashed up the stairs towards the attic, the Book of Shadows, and their soon to be first official rescue mission.
"Having fun yet?" Barbus asked Sora, who was sitting in a cage somewhere dark. He glared up helplessly at the Demon of Fear.
"If you wanna kill me, just do it." He replied. He'd already tried summoning the Keyblade over twenty times. But the demon had put some kind of a force field up to prevent it from reaching him, and it would land with a 'thunk' on the ground in front of the cage. Barbus laughed at his remark, finding it funny.
"No… No… No… you got it ALL wrong." Barbus said, waving his finger in front of him, "See. If I had wanted to kill you, you'd already have been killed by your WORST fear. No. I need you. You're the bait that will get me what I want."
"And that's is…?"
"The witches powers." Barbus replied coolly. Sora laughed, despite his situation.
"Why not ask for them." He said.
"Because whether you wish to realize it or not, in this world, there IS such a thing as a good witch. Those particular witches you happened to spaz out on earlier were the most powerful source of good magic in the human-and Underworld. The three older ones, Piper, Paige and Phoebe have vanquished countless demons, taking the world back from us. But that is all about to change. Once I get their powers, I'll kill them for vanquishing me and their little students."
"What makes you think they'll come?" Sora asked, "Especially for ME."
"To them, you're an innocent still." Barbus said in reply, "And they never abandon an innocent. Only this time, their little issue with never leaving their innocent to die will backfire on them, and kill them." Barbus swirled around in his heel and walked out casually, closing the door to the room behind him. Sora sat down on the base of the cage and sighed. It seems like whoever comes in contact with ME always gets killed…
"Anything thing Leo?" Dyana asked for the hundredth time. Leo had brought her to the bridge where he'd said he went to a lot to think. It wad very high up, and although Dyana was never terrified of heights, she wasn't too happy about this. She looked down nervously at the tiny cars whizzing down the bridge road. She looked up to see Leo standing up, his arms spread out, and his head tilted to the sky. He closed his eyes to concentrate.
"Well?" Dyana asked impaciently. Leo sighed in annoyance.
"Dyana, you need to chill out." Leo said, "Unless you calm your ass down, I won't be able to sense him anywhere."
"Oh, sorry." Dyana said shamefully, "I'm just not liking this."
"Afraid?" Leo asked, returning to his original stance.
"Like hell." Dyana replied. She wasn't afraid. NO WAY IN HELL.
"Piper it's not working." Paige said after 10 minutes of swinging the scry.
"Paige chill out."
"Piper it's not working." She repeated herself. Piper sighed in irritation and said, "Paige, you have two options before I blow you the hell up; One: Shut up. Two: Bug Phoebe!"
"Um…. I'll shut up." Paige said, knowing that Phoebe would probably kill her. Not that Piper wouldn't either, but it was never good to annoy both of them.
"Okay it's not working." Piper admitted almost five minutes later.
"Now what?" Paige asked, covering her head in her arms.
"Wait!" Piper said, "I know where he is!"
"Okay then!" Phoebe said, Any of you know how to defeat your fears?"
"No!" Amanda and Mari replied.
"Great." Phoebe responded.
"Hey!" Mari said, getting an idea, 'Maybe if we write a spell and use the power of SIX?"
"Good girl Mari!" Amanda said, "Use your common sense for once!"
"Grrr." Mari growled at Amanda who looked at her skeptically.
"Okay, ignoring the wolf in her…" Amanda said, "Would we need a vanquish?"
"Yes!" Phoebe said, sitting down at the table, "Okay… um…. How about…. Spirit of the elements; hear out plea…
"I like it!" Mari exclaimed as she sat down, across from her, "Um… okay…. How about….Set us of this demon free! Yeah! Yeah! Free!"
"Good job." Amanda said sarcastically.
"Okay…" Phoebe said, Let's see… so far we have… Spirit of the elements; hear out plea. Set us of this demon free… Now what?"
"As flame lights shadow, and truth ends fear…" Amanda said randomly.
"We take awayyour powers here…" Mari continues on it.
"Fear is not foryou to play…. Now your death will be our way." Phoebe finished.
"YES!" Mari jumped up happily, "Go us!"
"Shut up!" Amanda said. Mari stuck her tongue out at her. Amanda grinned.
"Okay, go tell Piper and Paige we've got an idea… I'll make the spell." Phoebe said. Amanda and Mari nodded and dashed down the stairs, as Piper and Paige came up.
"I can't sense him…" Leo said, "Maybe we should head back."
"Good idea." Dyana said, and Leo orbed then to the manor where the sisters were having a battle.
"It's crazy Phoebe!" Piper said, "You can't VANQUISH him."
"Maybe with the power of six!" Phoebe argued.
"What's happening here?" Leo asked.
"Piper doesn't thing you can vanquish Barbus with the power of six, but Phoebe does." Amanda explained.
"This is all so confusing." Paige said in her confused voice.
"STOP IT!" Leo shouted, grabbing everyone's attention, "Look, the longer we sit here and argue about this stupid thing, the less time we have to save Sora! Let's go already, OKAY?"
"Yeah!" Amand agreed, "We'll try the spell and if that doesn't work, we get the innocent out of there and figure another way to kill Barbus okay?"
"Fine." Phoebe and Piper agreed. Cole shimmered in seconds later.
"Hear the news?" He asked, "You charge is in the underworld Leo."
"Shit." Leo said.
"Leo!" The girls all said in shock.
"I couldn't get close enough to the fortress to get him, but Paige could probably orb you all in there…"
"Let's go for it." Amanda said.
"I'm in!" Paige, Mari and Dyana exclaimed.
"Truce?" Phoebe asked Piper.
"Truce." Piper declared.
"No!" Leo said, "It's to dangerous! I'll orb and-"
"You'll be toast." Phoebe informed him, "We have a potion and a spell, we should win. And if not, we get the innocent, and get the hell out of there."
Amanda: Just review!
Mari: And read!
Dyana: ACTION SCENE!
Piper: I still don't think the spell will work…
Phoebe: Whatever.
