Chapter 9: The Big Bang
"So how exactly do we get to the underworld?" Prue asked with a very confused look on her face.
"Well normally Paige would orb us but since she is not here…we had to make a potion." Phoebe explained.
"Really? You actually mad a potion to transport you places?" Prue asked. "I missed a lot while I was dead." Only Prue let out a chuckle. Piper and Phoebe didn't think it was very funny to joke about the death of a loved one. Noticing that she hit a soft spot Prue quickly apologized.
"Okay, so we know the plan?" Phoebe asked. "We go in, throw the potion then Piper you freeze; we say the spell and BOOM."
"Got it." Piper and Prue said together.
"We only got one shot, so let's make it count." Piper said. Phoebe and Prue nodded their heads. The three sisters held hands with Prue in the middle.
"Honey, don't let Wyatt up to late! I want him down at seven-thirty! Got me?" Piper said to Leo.
"Yes Ma'am. Good luck guys." Leo responded. "It was nice seeing you Prue." Prue nodded at Leo as a form of saying you too. Piper dropped the Potion vial on the floor and a cloud of white smoke covered them. When it went away, the sisters saw The Crone's lair, with The Crone in front of them.
"Wow! We should have invented that when I was…you know…" Prue said.
"Come to vanquish me have you? Don't worry, I will have enough power to come back! And I WILL COME BACK! I WILL KILL YOU ALL!" The Crone said with a devilish smile.
"Wanna bet?" Phoebe said. Prue threw the potion and it hit The Crone in the middle of the chest. She burst into flames and began to scream. "Piper now!" Prue commanded.
"Piper raised her arms with her hands closed and as she extended them towards The Crone, she opened her hands. Silence fell upon The Crone as she was frozen mid-vanquish. Prue unfolded a piece of paper and the sisters began to say their spell together.
"From whence they came,
Return them now.
Banish the words,
Spoken from her mouth.
Send her powers,
To the astral plane.
So she may never,
Gain them again."
White orbs surrounded The Crone and then disappeared into nothingness as her powers were stripped from her. Piper waved her hand and The Crone was screaming in pain. A few seconds went by and then she burst. The blast was so big that it sent The Charmed Ones flying in different directions.
"Piper…are you okay?" Phoebe yelled.
"Yeah, I am fine! Prue…are you okay?" Piper yelled.
"I don't know if Prue is…but I am!" Paige said.
"PAIGE!" Phoebe and Piper said together. They were so happy to see their sister. They ran over to her and they all shared a hug.
"Paige are you okay? What happened to you? What was heaven like?" Phoebe questioned.
"Oh it was…oh…I'm not allowed to say." Paige said as she looked of in another direction. She began to laugh and Piper and Phoebe joined her. "So did we get The Crone?" Paige asked.
"Yes we did!" Phoebe said.
"Is she coming back?" Paige asked.
"Not this time." Piper said.
"Good. Now let's get the heck out of here!" Paige said as she realized where she was. She held onto Piper and Phoebe. All three of the girls were covered in white and blue orbs and disappeared out of the underworld and into the regular world.
