Naruto flipped through pages of the tome he checked out in frustration. Nothing could be found about that damn Crystal Sword. Where on earth did these Lords of War get such an item? How did someone managed to forge this item?
He shook his head, recalling what happened earlier that morning. Naruto had invited Gabriel to the forest under the false pretenses of being Prue. To his fear the Crystal Sword zapped the chakra out of the clone upon killing it. It was no damn wonder the only way to defeat these beings was to remove them from their swords, but Naruto highly doubted that every one of these swords had this sort of power.
So Naruto took time to research and try to find any information he could. ''Hey...'' Blue Prue greeted with a warm smile, "We were beginning to wonder if you were going to become a shut in.'' she said as she walked into the attic.
''Blue-chan, aren't you supposed to be training?''
''We were given a break. Swords and I don't seem compatible,'' she explained as she sauntered over to the blond. Closing the old tome Naruto stood up.
''It's more of having a weapon to protect yourselves so you can use your combined power to separate Gabriel from his sword.''
''Sounds like a sound plan speaking of which, I was hoping we could talk." Naruto gave her a confused look. "About the nature of our relationship.'' Blue pressed on with a nervous look.
"Blue-chan, things between Prue and I are fine." He assured then paused to really think about it. "Aren't they?''
''I, Prue has a multitude of desires yet to be fulfilled. We've always had to put family over going after what we wanted. And feeling what we want to feel,'' she said as she softly stroked Naruto's arm.
Naruto raised an eyebrow. ''I wasn't aware I wasn't performing up to standard.''
"Please be serious, Naruto," said Prue, her expression shifting, "It's just more than about sex. It's a matter of passion. While Prue, I know that we're a witch and it's important we master our power we also like to be reminded that we are a woman. While being treated as an equal partner and strong woman is something appreciated, we wouldn't mind if you spoil us every once in a while.'' she said, moving her finger to his chest and making clockwise motions.
''I can do that.'' he said as a smile formed on Blue-chan's face.
''Good, now, there's something else I've always wanted to do.'' she said as she placed her hand on his crotch. ''You want it don't you. You want your Prue-chan to be naughty.'' she huskily whispered in his ear causing his cock to strain against the fabric of his pants.
Naruto didn't argue. Relaxing was definitely going to help clear his head. Blue Prue, may have been Prue's inner desires but she was Prue all the same. He slipped his hands around her hips and felt her shapely body in his arms. Using the body flickered they appeared in her room. His gripped tightened and he pulled her into a deep his kiss.
'Where's Pink?'' Naruto asked as Piper returned from her outing.
''Concert.'' she answered as Naruto gave her an incredulous.
''Is she insane? What if Gabriel decided to attack, I'm sure he has this address and if memory serves correct he wasn't too pleased about being tricked.''
''Well Miss Ego went on about how it's proper to honor one's engagements. If someone ever told me my sister had a short-sighted aspect to her I would have called them insane.''
Naruto sighed and shook his head. ''Where's this concert at? I'll go find her.'' He stated.
Speaking of Pink Prue, she was currently scanning the crowds, looking for Andy. During the even they somehow lost track of each other. Suddenly, cries occurred as several bright, white lights went off. The light flashed and she fell down against the ground. Her hand moved instinctively to her eyes when she realized she couldn't see. "Blinded by the light?" Gabriel laughed as he stepped from the smoke that was now spewing from the bomb. His sword was drawn and he wasted no time in approaching the weakened Prue. He was going to use the panic of the crowd and cloud of smoke to attack.
In desperation 'Pink Prue' squinted in the general direction that she believed him to be. His sword flew back and cut Gabriel across the cheek.
"You cut me, witch!" Gabriel yelled, pulling his sword back around. In his anger, he was about to stab her when she had disappeared, his sword clanging against the ground. He let out a roar of frustration.
''You could have been killed. If I was a few seconds slower.'' Naruto berated her; his heart was still thumping in his chest. ''What were you thinking?''
''That for once I can do something for myself and not have to weigh every decision.'' Pink Prue snapped back at him. ''I've always had to use reason in all my decisions. Anytime I let up something bad happened.'' she explained, guilt forming on her face. ''And for good reason all those innocent people almost got killed because of my selfishness.'' she remarked.
''It's not your fault.'' a voice from behind them, startling them. Moving from the other side of the couch Phoebe took a seat on the arm and pulled Prue into a comforting hug. ''You needed to be that person because of life's' circumstances and I certainly didn't help make things easier. Being strict and moral isn't bad, but if you keep suppressing yourself you're going to drive yourself crazy.''
''Yeah Pink-chan!'' The Blue Prue stated, entering the room in a nightie, fresh out of the shower. ''You don't have to play warden and keep me locked up you know. Our responsibilities and duties have changed its okay to let up on the lease a bit.'' Blue Prue urged, joining her sister on the couch.
''You don't have to worry Pink-chan. I'll make sure Black-chan starts taking a bit easier from now on.'' Naruto assured her. ''Anyway it's getting late. We should all turn in; we're going to have a busy night tomorrow. That psycho is getting embolden. Attacking in such a public place, that power he absorbed must have some sort of drawback. Influencing his impulse control or something.''
''Then maybe we should attack him when he least expects it.'' The quartet looked up to see the Real Prue and Piper entering the room.
''Thought you were going to be out for the night,'' Naruto replied.
''Trust me, it's a miracle I'm even awake right now. Someone was hogging the good bathroom.'' Prue stated, shooting Blue-chan a look, who merely sheepishly shrugged her shoulders. ''I say we sneak into his estate and attack him head on. He won't be expecting that.''
'Blue Prue' thought the hinted idea over before grinning in agreement. "Prue, we're geniuses." She complimented them both.
"That's your plan?" Piper demanded in disbelief.
Phoebe groaned and dropped her head into her hands. "What are you people thinking?"
Real Prue smiled faintly at her younger sisters. "Gabriel Statler is a flesh and blood human with a flesh and blood sister. The only thing that protects him, that makes him invulnerable is that sword." She began.
"… And Gabriel has this weird binding passion for Helena. So, if we grab her we can use her as leverage. His sword for his sister." 'Blue Prue' finished confidently.
"That's your plan?" Phoebe repeated Piper's previous words.
"Do you think he won't protect his own flesh and blood?" 'Blue Prue' retorted, her eyes narrowing dangerously.
''Not everyone loves their family Prue.'' Naruto corrected. ''Trust me, families I've seen are just as quick to betray each other as any pair of strangers.'' he pointed out.
Real Prue sighed. "Okay, look, we grab Helena and either he trades his sword for her life or we use her to buy more time until we figure out a way to separate him from his sword." She amended.
"Okay, so we'll go with you." Piper allowed, recognizing that she wouldn't be able to change Prue's mind about this.
''If this man has been studying you, then even with three of you things might not go according to plan. He knows enough that he was able to track Prue down to a concert. But that's just the thing, if he's studied Prue this thoroughly then he must know she's a Charmed One? Why go after the oldest sister without taking out the other two? Either he's extremely arrogant, or so short-sighted that Piper and I aren't even on his radar. So wouldn't we have a better chance as a unified force?''
Piper's eyes suddenly widened. ''Of course, now it makes sense.''
''What makes sense?'' Prue asked, wondering what was going on in the head of her little sister.
''Power of One. Us acting together in a unified force, you said something like that once didn't you Naruto?'' she prompted to blond who began trying to recollect some of the things he said.
''Actually, that does make sense. Since you three are an Ultimate Power and that sort of connotation is classified as a singular source it would make sense. Which when you think about it...''
''That sword training better have been for nothing.'' the Real Prue threatened Naruto with that legendary Prue Gaze that pierced the souls of many.
''Hey! Something tells me that you'll find it helpful in the future. It's not like every skill or item for our weekly adventures is going to be conveniently used for that exact moment than forgotten and never used again.'' he argued his point. ''Now if you'll excuse me I have to go play distraction again.'' he informed them.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Gabriel was sitting at his chess table playing with himself when Helena came up behind him. "Anything from our surveillance?" He asked almost bored.
"I saw at least two women identical to Prue Halliwell. One was leaving the restaurant in a blue sweater and the other was entering the Manor in a black sweater around the same time that the one in pink was monitored entering her job yesterday." Helena answered promptly as she leaned against the back of Gabriel's chair. "It appears the witch has made copies of herself in preparation for your attack. We're gonna have to chance it and attack her at home…" She could tell Gabriel was about to argue. "…Just wait until the hours right before dawn when their certain to be asleep and vulnerable." Helena suggested with a wicked grin.
Gabriel looked thoughtful as he moved one of his chess pieces. "Checkmate." He said aloud, a silent agreement for Helena's plan. Sure enough sneaking in was much easier than expected.

''Alright, so how are we going to...take care of...this guy once we get the sword.'' Piper asked. ''If he's been made stronger by Chakra, and Naruto can't get too close to him?''
Phoebe smirked mischievously. "Why do we have to take it away? Maybe we should try to bring Gabriel and his sword even closer…" She suggested. ''After all its obviously has mystical properties and as far as we know it isn't man made so...'' Phoebe trailed off.
"Pheebs, you are so smart." Prue complimented, hugging her sister who merely laughed
''Go on. No seriously go on.''
As this was going on Helena entered the hallway through double doors. Before she could even call for her brother Piper shot forward and decked her one, knocking her out cold. ''That's for trying to kill my sister you bitch!'' Piper snarled, before a few seconds later snapping back to normal. ''Uum, that was the Wendgio.'' she tried to explain the sudden and completely random mood swing.
''Yeah.''
''Sure.''
''Okay.'' they murmured, briefly exchanging glances before decided that they would worry about what happened, after Gabriel was taken care of.
In one of Gabriel's private rooms Helena Statler was standing in the middle of an open iron maiden case with 'Blue Prue' behind it, out of sight from anyone in the doorway. "Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel…" Helena cried out pleadingly for her brother.
Gabriel, hearing her, came to the room and froze in the doorway as he realized what was happening. "My god, Helena…" He whispered, quickly approaching her.
'Blue Prue' jumped from her hiding spot and held her hand out to Gabriel as he drew his sword against her. "Nuh uh. This in war terms is what I believe they call a reversal of fortune…" She warned and Gabriel immediately stopped his advance. 'Blue Prue' narrowed her eyes at the iron maiden case and it closed about an inch around Helena before turning back to Gabriel. "I'll make it easy for you. Your sword for your sister."
Gabriel shrugged with a faint smile as he relaxed his stance. "Done." He agreed. "There's only one problem. You're not the real Prue Halliwell. Any woman smart enough to clone herself wouldn't make the mistake of confronting me here. So, tell me, how many of you are there?" He asked. A silence fell between them. "Let my sister go and I'll promise to make it quick and painless for you and your counterparts." He proposed.
'Blue Prue' squinted again at the case and it closed around Helena a little more. "Don't make me do this… your sword for your sister please." She ordered defiantly.
Gabriel glanced at Helena before throwing his sword at her, quickly killing his sister while 'Blue Prue' jumped away in surprise. He held his hand out and the sword came back to him. "Who has the reversal of fortune now?" Gabriel asked rhetorically, advancing on 'Blue Prue' with his sword leading the way.
He found himself suddenly jerked back when Pink and Black Prue appeared behind the curtains. He recovered, fighting back against the force pushing him back as drew the power he stole from his sword. The more power he drained the easier time he found it to resist the power of the Three Prues.
"Clever witch…" Gabriel allowed, ''...but not clever enough.'' He said as the three Prues stopped and made a break for it. ''You can't run witch! You're only prolonging the inevitable.'' Gabriel slowly paced around the hallways. Checking one room at a time before his eyes focused on the faint outline of a person sneaking by the stairway. He tossed his sword only to impale Slam-Man who was brought along to be telepathically used as Bait.
Prue, Prue, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe jumped out from their hiding place. Piper throwing her hands out to freeze Gabriel. "Hey, check out GI Joe." Piper quipped.
Phoebe raced over and kicked Gabriel hard enough that he fell back into the wall and hit the ground. Phoebe smiled triumphantly before yanking the sword out of her damaged Slma-man.
Piper's Molecular Immobilization wore off and Gabriel reached his hand out for his sword. "My weapon." He ordered irritably.
"It's all yours." The Prues allowed, narrowing their eyes at the sword as it flew and impaled Gabriel against the wall. The sword glowed as it sucked Gabriel inside and then exploded. The lights flickered on and the sisters exchanged glances with each other.
"Peace at last." Piper laughed.
Prue laughed also and turned to her counterparts. ''Thank you, well me, for all we did.''
''No problem,'' Blue Prue casually replied.
''Just remember to take it easy every once in a while.'' Pink Prue suggested.
''At least that's one problem taken care of.'' Naruto remarked, finally appearing as he went over to the sword. Sure enough it reactive with pulse of strong energy when he reached for it. ''What the hell. What is up with this thing?'' he wondered. He shook his head and turned to the girls. ''So...when does that spell end again?'' he asked, bringing a realization to Prue who turned to her counterparts.
''Wait a minute. We defeated Gabriel, so why are you two still here?'' she demanded. Gabriel was slain so they were no longer needed. Were they?

Chapter End

Anyway, that's one chapter to go and many questions to answer.
What is that blade?
Why hasn't Prue's Counterparts disappeared?
What happened to Shigure? Well that one I can answer now. Since her sword is a weapon that was made and she's a swordswoman Naruto merely informed her, after thanking her and compensating her quite nicely for her time, that they formed a new plan and that her help was no longer required.
