Piper couldn't get over the fact that there was some demon or warlock running around with her face. Someone that could be out there murdering innocent people and she could be the one dealing with the repercussions. All she could hope was that the situation would be resolved soon.
Speaking of said murderers. ''Brilliant Job Raven! Looks like your plan had holes in it! I told you we should have attack them head on with might!'' the muscle bound warlock stated as the female spun and snarled at him.
''Keep your mouth Kattpos! You would still be running around an aimless fool if I hadn't found you.'' Raven hissed back at him, not showing a hint of fear.
''Aren't we still aimless now? I mean the Charmed Ones are aware of us and are going to hunt us down! I knew this was a bad idea.'' Khamelleon remarked as he took a seat on a crate. The three of them were in a condemned building scheduled to be destroyed in a few weeks' time. The place had suffered from a gas fire so the majority of the room had scorched marks all over the wall and floor. ''I say we cut our losses and run! Maybe to Antarctica where they can't find us.'' the lanky man pondered only to be hoisted up by his shirt.
''You little coward! You're a pathetic excuse of...''
''Now!"
Kattpos and Raven were being hurled back by something. Khamelleon was freaking out as he had no idea where he was?
''Naruto now!''Khamellon turned to see the blond throw up his hand as a wave of ice crash into Piper and Prue. Kattpos and Raven froze accordingly as they were blanketed by a thick shield of ice. Khamellon turned back to the sisters in confusion who hadn't as so much as shivered from the attack. The man took out some odd knife shaped weapons and stabbed both sisters in the chest resulting in the frozen warlocks being instantly thawed out as they exploded into a fiery blaze of nothingness.
''2 down...one more to go!'' Prue stated as Naruto put away his weapons.
''Yeah, but the last one has my power so we're going to have to hit hard and fast before he has a chance to run away.''
''Ooh man we have to get out of here and now!" Khamellon shrieked in that rather high pitched voice of his. ''They're going to kill us! The Charmed Ones are going to get us!'' he incessantly rambled and struggled against Kattpos bull like strength.
''What the hell are you rambling about?'' Raven asked, her mood not approving from having to listen to Khamellon's whining and Kattpos unintelligible boasts, then again Raven always had a nasty temper and was a rather fowl person since a child. Khamellon then went into details about his premonition as a troubled look crossed Raven's eyes.
''This contemplate things...Ice...that's not a common element for witches, demons, or any magical user. Not to mention the tools he used. Just who the hell is this blond?'' Raven knew she heard of a race of ice users, but what was there name.
''I'll pound him into the ground! If the sissy snake's premonition is right then whatever happens to one of them happens to us, so if we do the opposite it should hurt them.''
''Looks like your more than muscle after all.'' the pale skinned warlock snidely remarked.
''Then will just stab each other in the heart. That'll off the witches!''
''Fool!'' Raven hissed as she narrowed her eyes at him. ''We don't know the nature of the spell. If that was the case they would have offed themselves and killed us by now, instead of waiting for us to attack. If Khamellon's premonition is accurate then the attacker needs to be done by an outside influence. The only way to be sure is to attack the witches and hope they try to vanquish us and end up vanquishing themselves.''
''Hey, what if that guy with the ice powers is there?'' Khamellon asked as the two warlocks turned to him. ''No...I refuse! Please don't make me.'' he whimpered.
Prue and Phoebe returned home with no luck in their search. Phoebe didn't receive a premonition that related to their condition so Prue was currently flipping through the pages, waiting for Phoebe to pick out one of the demons that could match the description of the ones from before; after all she was around them the longest and had the most time to explicitly study their features.
"Is this one of them?" Prue asked. She stopped turning the pages and pointed at an illustration. Phoebe glanced at the picture and crossed her arms.
''Yeah...I think so.'' Phoebe replied. ''Raven- A warlock descending from a long line of powerful users of Telekinesis. This family was once famous for their powerful binding, enhancement, and swapping power spells. Several generations ago the family fell upon hard times and as a result their Matriarch turned to a group of demons known as the Hellfire Commune or Hellfirecomms for short. This coven of witches descends from a line of witches whom developed the blinking ability before it was stolen by demons. This was the primary reason why the clan fell into darkness as they took to partaking in dark rituals to increase their power when demons went about kidnapping women from their family line to produce new blood lines and killing the mothers once they passed breeding age.'' Phoebe found herself growing increasingly disturbed and sickened as she read the entry. The thought that there was a family out there with a blood line like the Halliwells, but fell to darkness over time made her began to fear what her, Prue, and Piper might be forced to deal with in the future. ''When do you think Leo is going to get back? I mean it would be nice to have a healer around if things go wrong.''
''Who knows...for right now all I care about is vanquishing those warlocks before they cause any damage with our face and powers. They were not only able to sneak into our house, but nearly managed to kill you and get their hands on the Book of Shadows so finishing them off is priority number one.'' Prue angrily listed off.
''What a coincidence!" Raven's smug voice said as she blinked in behind them. ''Finishing you Charmed Ones off is priority number one as well.'' she said as Prue moved into an offensive position.
''Phoebe! Get out of here and contact Piper and Naruto!'' Prue ordered as she kept her eyes on Raven to make sure the warlock wouldn't be able to get the first move.
''Prue I'm not going to...'' Phoebe started to argue, but her older sister would have none of it and cut her off.
''Do what I tell you. You don't have an offensive power or enough training to fight effectively. You'll only get in my way.''
Phoebe winched at Prue's comment, her feelings hurt by Prue's unintentional jab, reminding her just how much of a load she had been feeling lately. ''Okay Prue.'' she replied submissively. ''Just please be-careful.''
Prue didn't spare a glance as she and Raven circled around the attic space. Right now Prue couldn't spare a thought or glance at her sister who she wanted to protect more than anything. She couldn't consider how much Phoebe was hurt by her actions when the woman in front of her wouldn't hesitate to kill her at a moment's notice. She would do whatever it took to prevent that premonition Phoebe told her about. Prue was the first react, using her telekinesis to launch an old wooden chair at Raven who used her power to shatter the chair to pieces.
Prue tried using her Telekinesis again only for Raven to counter it by launching a table at Prue who ducked out of the way. The rug and snow globe that was on the table fell to the ground in a heap of dust and shatter glass.
''Come on Witch! Is that the best you can do or do you need your boy-toy to fight for you again? Witches like you make me sick. I can't even believe you're what so many warlocks and demon fear so much.''
''Oh yeah? Well get a load of this bitch!'' Prue retorted as her eyes went to the broken shard of glasses as they hurled into Raven's body only for her to use her own power and something ended up taking the shard of glasses and was sent flying into a table.
''Damnit Raven...that hurt.'' Khamellon whined as he became tangible. His face contorted with fear as he began plucking out shards.''
Phoebe's yell followed by a crash alerted Prue. ''You bitch! What did you do to my sister?'' she demanded as a cruel smirk twisted upon Raven's features.
''Me? This one is completely on you Halliwell.'' she answered as she and her companion blinked out of the room. Prue didn't hesitate for a moment to go and help and find Phoebe down stairs who was on the floor, parts of her body covered with blood stains where the shards hit the demon.
''Oh god! Phoebe! Hang on! Just hang!'' she shouted as her little sister's clothing was becoming saturated with blood.
''LEO! IF YOU CAN HEAR ME GET YOUR WHITE LIGHTER ASS DOWN HERE AND HEAL MY SISTER! '' Prue's scream reverberated through the house as Naruto and Piper burst in through the front door just as Leo and some woman appeared in a flurry of white sparkles. Words were quickly exchanged and amongst the confusion Phoebe was moved to the couch. Her body had several bad cuts and bruises from where she fell on the class table not to mention the several lacerations and wounds her body suffered not to mention the potential damage to her tendons and nerves were possibly damaged.
'I did this? My fault...this is my fault!' went through Prue's head as she indirectly hurt her sister. ''Phoebe...I'm sorry! Oh god I'm so sorry!'' A grief stricken and teary Prue said over and over again. As a greenish and white glow were coming from Naruto and Leo's hand respectively to no affect.
''It's not working! Fuck...we need a doctor. Hold on Phoebe! Just hold on!'' Naruto shouted as he stood up and disappeared in a flash. The color drained from Prue's face as she realized that if Phoebe wasn't healed soon then she would have indirectly killed her little sister. A few hours had passed and Phoebe was finally stabilized thanks to the medical expertise of one of Naruto's associates. With the glass removed and Phoebe's wounds cleaned and having antibacterial ointment applied to it along with them being bandaged she would be fine.
Prue had finished off yet another cup of coffee as she told the others of the events that took place. ''This must be an unforeseen side-effect of the spell that was cast. Now that the warlocks are sure that they can kill you three by having themselves injured there is no telling what they'll do.''
At that Leo and the woman walked in. ''Now that Phoebe has been stabilized I have a message from the Elders. They're willing to come to a compromise about your...suggestions. Allison will be your primary White Lighter, but since she doesn't have much experience I'll be guiding her most of the time and training her other than that there still debating on other things.''
''Uum hello...'' the brunette started with a nervous smile. ''I'm Allison, Allison Rom and it's going to be an honor working with you.''
''You'll have to forgive us for not having a tray of cookies and tea prepared. You kind of caught us at a bad time.'' Piper said entering the room as she finished fixing herself up.
Her eyes were red from crying.
''I'm going to go track down the warlocks. I should be able to pick up their scent and once we do we can form a plan.'' Naruto stated as he got up from the chair and pushed it into the table as he disappeared in a swirl of wind.
The manor's doorbells rung along with a loud six knocks on the door. ''Damnit! What the hell is going on now?'' Prue asked as she jumped up from her chair, her emotions still running high as she opened the door. ''Andy? What are you doing here?''
''I'm sorry Prue you're going to have to come with me.'' he said as he took out a pair of hand cuffs.
''Hey? What's going on?'' Piper asked as she moved into view from behind Prue. ''Andy...what are you doing here?'' she asked but she didn't receive an answer.
''What's this about?'' Prue demanded, becoming startled with Andy cuffed one of her hands. ''Andy what the hell?''
''Two people were murdered in broad day light at a market and the perpetrator matched your description. In fact a purse was left behind with your finger prints so you're coming down to the station for questioning and this time you're not going to slip away like the other night.''
Prue froze at that statement; by Naruto's own words he shouldn't have remembered a thing from that night. ''What the hell you can't be serious?'' Piper was just as emotionally charged as Prue. ''Andy you know full and well Prue wouldn't...''
''I'm just doing my job Piper.'' he interrupted her as he cuffed Prue's other hand.
''Piper I'll be fine...just...look after that thing.'' Prue hinted to her.
''But Prue...''
''I'll be fine.'' Prue reassured Piper as she knew one of them would have to look after Phoebe. ''Just tell Arashi what happened and you'll get the help you need.''
It only took Piper a few moments to catch up on what Prue was trying to tell her. Half an hour later they arrived to the police question where Andy was interrogating Prue. ''And where were you around Noon?''
''At Bucklands with my sister Phoebe. I went to my office to pick up something and she came with me as we were going to have lunch at this new cafe that opened, the Latte.''
''Can anyone verify seeing you two?''
''The security guard Jaime.''
''How do you explain a bag at the scene of the crime with your fingerprint?''
''There was a break-in this morning. Three people, one of them was a woman and the other two were men. I didn't get a good look at them because they panicked and ran out of the house when my sister Phoebe discovered them. In fact we filed a report on our way back from Bucklands.''
''You seem to be quite the magnet for...''
''Inspector!" a police officer interrupted as he poked his head into the interrogation room. ''Another weird incident sir, this time with...'' the officer looked down at the paper. ''A plunger and a Penguin?''
''I'll be back...we'll finish when I get back.'' Andy said as he left Prue alone in the interrogation room.
''Sorry P, I got a little tied up.'' Naruto materialized out thin air and snapped the chain of handcuffs. ''Hope I didn't keep you waiting.''
''I was beginning to think you got lost on the way here; anyway we have a problem. I don't know how but Andy remembers something about that night; are you sure you altered his memories accordingly?''
''I'm completely sure...everything should have went off without a hitch.'' he answered as he glanced at the door. ''Look I'll leave behind a transformed clone in your place. The others and I put together a plan we think we'll work.''
Prue nodded as a carbon copy of her popped into existence and took her place. Taking Naruto's hand she felt the air escape her lungs as a burst of energy filled her body. When they arrived at the mansion Prue found herself feeling dizzy, as if she just got off a fast paced carnival ride.
"Hey," said Phoebe. Her voice was raspy, having just woken up. Prue went over and joined the others who were hovering around her.
"How are you feeling?" Prue asked as she pulled a chair up beside the bed. While she was gone the others must have moved Phoebe to her room.
"I feel better though I am feeling a bit drowsy.''
''It's just a side effect. You'll be fine.''
Phoebe nodded and closed her eyes as she began to nod off. ''Well if we vanquish the demons won't that solve the problem? As long as they're around they'll take advantage of the spell.''
''One problem, Allison was it?'' Prue asked as the woman nodded. ''We could end up vanquishing ourselves in the process. These warlocks don't just have our powers or appearance they're essentially us. The only reason I think we have our powers is because the ritual was botc...'' Prue doubled over in pain as Naruto and Piper rushed over to her side.
''Prue, oh god are you okay?'' Piper asked.
''Hey P? What happened? Do you know what you were hit with?''
''I...gut punch...'' she managed to get out between pants as it fell like the wind was knocked out of her.
''There is something we can do about this. If injuries to them transfer to you girls then the same should hold in reverse. If we used a vanquishing potion on one of you it should kill the warlock who stole your identity. The only reason why I think they haven't offed themselves is because as long as you three are alive they can't feel pain. They are functionally immortal until you three are dead and they must be trying to come up with a way to use this to your advantage.'' as Naruto explained he cuffed Prue's hand. ''Okay Prue I'm going to test something. I'm going to break your finger and if you don't feel any pain then that means we can be sure that our plan should be able to go off without a hitch. You ready?''
''Yeah I'm re...'' snap was all Prue heard as her finger was bent back at an awkward angle. Prue cried out in reflex as she saw the irregular angle of her finger but after a brief moment of freaking out she realized she didn't feel any pain at all. She fidgeted only slight when Naruto snapped it back into place, the whole process in itself weird. ''I still don't think it's a good idea.'' she remarked, cradling her finger. ''There is no telling what could happen. For all we know the spell doesn't cover if someone dies if a potion is used in conjecture.''
Elsewhere the trio of Warlocks were having the time of their lives sending lesser demons fleeing from their caves as they raided their items. ''This is the life.'' Kattpos said as he began stuffing his mouth with food.
Raven threw up her hand and froze some demons as she used her power to levitate some knives and flung them into the back of the demons vanquishing them. ''Stop stuffing your face fool! We need to gather all the treasures we can to hire assassins to keep the Charmed Ones allies busy. I need to get another look at the Book of Shadows; I want to make sure we get all the Charmed Ones powers before we kill them.''
''Yeah yeah...'' he replied uninterested as he was about to shove a slab of beef into his mouth only for his finger to twist back. The demon let out a howl of pain as he dropped the food. ''What the fuck? My finger...'' he snarled as it snapped back in place.
An alarmed look crossed over Raven's face. ''Shit...they figured it out. We have to kill them now before they vanquish us.''
Back at the manor. ''We really don't have much of a choice. Either we vanquish the warlocks now or they change their minds and decide to become known as the ones who killed the Charmed Ones. If we don't take this risk then we might as well just sit here and wait to die.'' While Prue was still reluctant she couldn't deny the truth in Piper's words.
The potion began bubbling as Piper stirred it while Prue added some more ingredients. The potion was one the same used to vanquish upper level demons which would have to do as the three specific warlocks did not have entries in the book.
Blinking into the attic the warlocks hurled Atahames at the sisters who ducked out of the way. ''Naruto now!'' Prue cried out as the blond appeared behind the warlocks and threw his arm to the side and on instinct the warlocks moved out of the ice attack that hit the sisters but the warlocks dropped to the ground, their bodies below their neck blanketed by a sheet of ice.
''Damn you infernal mortal!''
''Khamellon you little pansy do something!'' the muscular warlock shouted at the Lanky man. Though before he could do anything he was sent flying into the wall by Prue's power. Naruto helped the two of them up.
''Alright...time to test this out. '' Piper said as she poured some of the potion in the vial with a ladle. ''You ready Prue?'' Piper asked, her hand trembling all the while as Prue took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
''Readily as I'll ever be.'' she answered as Piper threw the potion at Prue's feet and winched. Smoke erupted from the explosion as Kattpos lit ablaze by fire and was engulfed by the flames before erupting in a cloud of violet smoke. Prue fixed a potion and tossed it with the same result, but this time it was Khamellon who exploded into a puff of violet smoke. She was about to vanquish Raven but Naruto stopped her. ''What are you doing?''
''We need to clear your identity don't we?'' Naruto asked as he glanced at Raven, a smirk forming on his face. ''She wanted your identity so badly so why not let her pay for the consequences of her actions and get you off the hook at the same time?''
Later that night the three Halliwell sisters were curled up on the couch and watching a news segment. ''The police earlier this evening apprehended the culprit of the super market shooting. Upon further investigation the suspect has been linked to several unsolved murders and weird incidents plaguing San Francisco for the past few months. Further evidence goes to show the suspect stole identities and performed crimes to cover up her tracks, but made the mistake of returning to the scene of crime of a previous burglary attempt.''
"Once the police turn in for the night we used the Vanquishing potion on Raven and problem solved.'' Naruto remarked as he took a seat on the left arm couch. At least all the weird passed incidents that was linked to the sisters would now be tossed on the soon to be dead Warlock.
''We're going to have to fortify the attic so something like this doesn't happen again.''
''Well at least one thing is sure this makes things a bit easier." Naruto commented as he stretched his arms, his leg accidentally bumping into Phoebe's shoulder triggering a vision.
"Welcome to the Halliwell Coven." Naruto said from his position on the sofa; in the visions he had his left arm around Piper's waist; his right arm around Prue's shoulders; and sitting between his legs, at his feet, Phoebe, was looking towards a woman with brown hair whose head was resting on Naruto's thigh.
''If you want to join you'll have to prove your worth. We can't afford to have dead weight dragging us down.'' Prue spoke as the young woman nodded. ''Whether you're a fighter.''
''A guardian...'' Piper added.
''A thinker...''Phoebe had herself saying.
''Or even a healer.'' The mysterious woman added.
''Either way you live for us and we live for you.'' Naruto finished as the vision came to an end.
'What the hell was that?' Phoebe thought as her face began heating up. She wasn't so clueless as to miss the intimate overtones of what she saw, but she didn't want to bring it up and end up embarrassing herself and misinterpreting what she saw. She needed to wait and figure if she could see more before she jumped to the wrong conclusion.
