by Supernatural lover XD

This is a follow up to my Charmed Rewrite (Seasons 1, 2 &3). in this season the Power of Three turns into The Power of Four. Please read and review. Darker episodes yet to come. Michael looks for the truth and the sisters fear he is crossing over to the other side. what can they do to help? And what is Michael's big plan? Read to find out. All four sister Piper/Leo Prue/Andy etc.

13. Charmed and Dangerous

First I want to say Andy will make a brief appearance in this episode. As this is the battle for the Charmed Ones original destiny and I think whole heartedly that Andy would stay away this time as if not to get killed. So He only makmes a brief appearance. Next episode will have him more for you Andy and Prue lovers.

On another note A LOT was added to this chapter that I have been thinking about over the last few weeks and I finally have (hopefully) made it flow so well that this is enjoyable. So Please Read on and review.

Charmed and Dangerous

Manor: Attic

Phoebe, Prue and Paige carried an unconscious Piper in, who had scratches over her face. They put her on the floor and sat beside her.

"How is she?" Michael asked as soon as he became corporeal. He had scratch marks on him as well.

Phoebe looked at him, "Not sure yet." She admitted. "Piper, come on, it's time. Can you wake up? Can you do this? You can do it, come on." She said.

"Should we call Leo?" Prue said as she looked up at the ceiling.

Phoebe shook her head, "No, we can still make this plan work." She said.

The Source flamed in at that moment and walked slowly over to the sisters and Michael, "Seems almost anti-climactic after all this time, doesn't it?" He asked and waved his hand and a fireball appeared. "Say hello to Teresa for me." He taunted as he looked directly at Michael. "Looks like you're never going to find your father," He sneered.

Prue took this opportunity to throw her hand out "Hey!" She called and got his attention and sent the Source flying backwards into the wall. He regained his strength and formed a new fireball.

He threw the fireball at Paige and she orbed out before it can hit her. Piper gained consciousness, "Piper, now. Now!" Phoebe ordered.

Piper lifted her arms and flicked her wrists and the Source blew up. But quickly was fused back together.

Paige orbed in at that moment and Prue shot out her hand and sent the Source into the wall. he got up and moved quickly to them. "Crystals. Circle." Paige called with a wave of her hand and the crystals orbed into a circle on the floor and trapped the Source.

The Source formed an extremely large fireball and threw it. The fireball hit the cage and redirected back to him and he caught fire and was screaming in agony.

Underworld (Sources Cave)

The Seer came out of her vision as her eyes were completely white and changed back to normal. "Well?" The Source started. "What did you see?" he asked.

"I saw…" The seer said as she turned around. "Your demise." She added.

"My demise?" The Source asked. "That cannot be." He stated.

"You know how powerful my visions are." She stated as she turned to face him. "More so even than the oracle's were and more accurate." She explained. "That is why you vanquished her yourself."

"You mean to tell me that with all the powers at my disposal, all I've learned about them, in the end I still lose? How is that possible?" He asked.

The Seer made a small frown, "The Charmed Ones' power must simply be greater than yours." She stated. "I mean no disrespect. I only speak of what I see."

"Then maybe the only way to change what you see is to obtain more powers. The Ultimate power." He stated.

"That's forbidden." The Seer argued.

"If I don't prevail what difference does it make?" He barked.

The Seer looked at him, "There must be another way." She offered.

The Source looked at her, "No!" He yelled. "With the Hollow I will render witches powerless. Then I will destroy them. Even if it means destroying us all."

Opening Credits

Halliwell Manor: Dining room

Piper and Leo were sitting at the table and Piper slid a sheet of paper over to Leo, "Do I really need to think about this now?" He asked.

Piper nodded her head, "Yes." She stated simply.

Leo looked at her, "Why?" He asked.

Piper looked up at him, "Because the Source has already killed Teresa. And if god forbid it happens again we want to be prepared." She explained. "You should be honored that if we don't make it we're leaving you everything." She added.

Phoebe and Cole ran in at that moment with Michael close behind them, "Hey guys! Guess what?" She said.

"What makes you think I'm gonna out live you anyway?" Leo asked her.

Piper continued to look at him, "Leo, you're an angel, literally. Which means short of a Darklighter, you win most likely to survive." She said.

Phoebe perked up and pulled out a piece of paper, "Oh! Speaking of surviving, Source bulletin, this just in." She started and held up the paper.

Piper looked at Leo and held a pen out to him, "Honey, just sign the freakin' thing." She ordered and Phoebe turned to Cole and he whistled. "What?" Piper asked as she finally looked to her sister and cousin and Cole.

Cole looked at her, "Phoebe and Mikey have something they'd like to say that actually might affect what you're doing here." He said and waved his hand for emphasis.

Phoebe looked at him and smiled, "Thank you, honey." She turned back to Piper and Leo, "Mikey and I nailed the Source vanquishing spell." She said and handed the spell to Piper. "Our ancestors. That's what we were missing. If we could draw the magic from the entire Halliwell and Gonzalez lines..." She started.

Piper studied the paper, "We might have enough power to vanquish the Source." She stated in realization.

Phoebe shook her head, "Yes."

"The only problem is; I haven't found my father yet. So if we say this spell it will only use the dead relatives," He added.

Piper looked up at him with a small frown, "This is good! This might still work." She said.

Leo pointed up to the ceiling, "I'll go tell the Elders." He said and orbed out.

Piper watched the orbs as they went up to the ceiling "Hey!" She yelled. "You did not sign this!" She added as she pointed her finger at the disappearing orbs.

Phoebe looked at the table, "Oh, honey, are you still on that will and testament kick?" She asked. "I gotta tell you, it's very, very morbid."

Piper shook her head, "No, it's very, very responsible." She stated and then turned to Michael with a sad smile. "Teresa did it, and thank god she did, 'cause if she didn't we'll still be dealing with lawyers when we first had Mikey living with us." She stated and then turned to Cole, "No offense."

Cole looked at her, "Oh, none taken. I've come to terms with my evil past." He stated.

Phoebe turned away from her boyfriend and then back to Piper, "No, I know what you're saying but I have a really good feeling about this, okay? No one is gonna die any time soon." She stated as she touched Cole and gasped as a premonition struck.

Premonition

A demon with a half a face formed a fireball and threw it toward Phoebe. Cole ran in front of it

End of Premonition

"Pheebs," Michael pressed. He knew the signs of a premonition by now. "Are you okay?" He asked.

Phoebe saw the look Cole gave her, "Yeah, um, I just have the hiccups." She answered her cousins question and she hiccupped "Ooh, see? Uh, Piper, Mikey, can I talk to you for a minute in the kitchen?" She asked as she hiccupped again.

Piper looked at her for a moment, "Sure." She stated and got up as they walked into the kitchen. "Phoebe, with or without the Source we still need a will. Especially if I'm gonna start a family." She began to explain.

Phoebe look at Piper just as Michael walked into the kitchen, "This isn't about the will. This is about a premonition I just had that I don't want Cole to know about." She explained.

Piper looked at her, "What do you mean? Why not?" She asked.

"Because I just saw him jump in front of a demon to take a fireball for me, that's why not." Phoebe argued.

Michael looked at her, "What kind of demon?" He asked.

Phoebe looked at him as she could never forget that kind of face, "One with a half a face." She stated simply.

Piper made a disgusted face, "Yuck!" She exclaimed as Michael obviously tensed up.

Phoebe looked at him suspiciously, "Yeah," She said and then looked at Piper, "So we have to figure out who he demon is and vanquish him before Cole…" She stated before she was cut off.

Piper cut her off, "what if we need Cole to ID him.?" She asked. "I mean the Source probably sent this demon?" She asked.

Phoebe shook her head, "That's exactly my point." She stated. "He's gonna want to stay close to protect me."

"Well, honey, that's what you do for people you love." Piper stated.

Phoebe frowned a little bit, "I know, Piper, but he's human now, it's not like he can fend off a fireball." She stated. "Can you make a potion for him to use your telepathy? Maybe then he can avoid it." Phoebe asked wishfully.

"I will try," Michael said.

Piper looked at her, "Well, you can't talk to him?" She asked.

Phoebe shook her head, "No. I've tried. He isn't going to sit by the sidelines, its not who he is." She explained.

"So, you're not going to tell him?" Piper asked.

Phoebe shook her head, "The attack happened in the attic. So, I'll just keep him out of the house until I can ID the demon." She explained.

"Alright, it's your relationship it's your call. I'll let Paige and Prue know what's up. As long as your sure." Piper stated as she moved for the phone.

"I gotta go get Zeke, he's back from Atlanta so I am going to go see him." Michael said as he was about to flame out.

"Just be careful honey," Piper said with a tone of worry. "We still don't know what we are up against." She explained.

"I will be careful," He confirmed and flamed out of the manor.

South Bay Social Services

Paige, Darryl and a woman were in a room. "Trust me I am sure," Paige said to the young woman.

Darryl shook his head in agreement, "The judge wants to hear the truth, that's all." He added.

"Everything is going to be okay," Paige concluded.

The woman shook her head, "Yeah, but once he hears about all the awful things I've done." She said.

"'Done' past tense," Paige clarified.

"My past is why I lost custody of my son in the first place." The woman stated.

"Look, we are not going to pretend that you weren't in an abusive relationship or that you didn't go to rehab," Paige explained.

"It's just that I made so many mistakes." The woman replied.

Paige shook her head, "I once made a lot of mistakes. Hell, my friend has made a lot of mistakes. One of which got me reunited with my family. But listen, Caroline, Your ex is out of your life. Okay? You have been clean and sober for almost two years now. And you have held down a steady job at a police station no less." She explained.

"You've changed. That's all that matters." Darryl said.

Paige took her hand, "The judge just cares about who you are, not about who you were. And that's what's gonna get your son back." She explained as her phone began ringing, "Excuse me," She stated. And left the room. "This is not a good time I'm in the middle of something important." She said.

Piper's voice whispered on the other end, "Does a half face demon qualify as important?"

"He's there now?" Paige asked.

"No." Piper's voice said.

Paige shook her head despite Piper not being able to see it. "Well, then it doesn't qualify." She said.

"Phoebe had a premonition and not a good one." Piper said on the other line.

"I know why I'm whispering, why are you?" Paige asked.

Manor

Piper's in the dining room and Phoebe and Cole walked into the foyer, "So it keeps making like this brrr-brrr noise." Phoebe explained.

Cole looked at her, "But it's not even your car." He stated.

Phoebe "No, I don't want Prue or Piper to be driving it and have it break down. Look, if you can just take it to the mechanic and have him look at it that'd be great." She explained.

"Phoebe," Piper called from the dining room, "That thing you were talking about. Day or night thing?" She asked.

"Night." Phoebe replied.

Cole looked at the two sisters, "What thing?" He asked.

Phoebe shook her head, "It's nothing important." She replied.

Cole looked at her knowingly, "There's nothing wrong with Piper's car is there?" He asked.

"No." Phoebe quickly replied.

"But you want me to leave don't you?"

"Yes." She replied.

Cole looked at her, "And you don't wanna tell me why?" He asked.

Phoebe looked at his and sighed, "If you could just give us a couple of hours, don't ask any questions. Please, please." She pleaded.

Cole looked at her. "You'll tell me later?" He asked with a smile.

Phoebe shook her head, "I promise." She gave him a quick kiss and he left the house, "I love that man." She stated with a smile.

Piper was still on the phone, "Paige, look, this could be the attack we've been waiting for. You need to come home now." She ordered.

South Bay Social Services

Paige sighed and put a hand threw her hair, "Phoebe's premonition happened at night, right?" She asked.

She could hear Piper sigh on the other end, "Right." She stated.

Paige turned and looked at Darryl who was still with the woman, "Okay, well, you know how long I've been working with Caroline. I promised her I'd be at the hearing today." She explained.

"Okay, fine, but you need to come home as soon as you can." Piper said from the other line.

Paige shook her head, "Okay." She promised and hung up the phone as Darryl and Caroline come out of the room.

Darryl turned to her, "So we're gonna meet outside the court room at 3:00, right?" He asked.

Paige shook her head, "Yeah." She replied.

Caroline looked at her, "Paige, is everything alright?" She asked.

"Peachy." Paige replied. "All you have to do is relax and by tonight your son is going to be with you." She explained.

Caroline looked at her, "God, I don't know what I'd do without you. You're my angel." She said.

Paige smiled, "Oh." She said and hugged the woman.

Zeke's House

Michael had flamed in on the porch of his best friends home. He had been told he could flame in whenever he wanted but with Zeke's mom having a new boyfriend who didn't know about magic yet. He decided to use human means of entering houses even if it meant using doors. He knocked and waited for a reply. "Who is it?" Zeke's mom, Tanya, asked sweetly as she hurried to answer it.

"Mikey," He answered. And she opened it.

"Mikey," She repeated with a smile. "How are you doing?" She asked. The two hardly talked. She was like a second son to her and she cared deeply about him. The only friend her son had has in the past two years.

"I am doing alright," He answered. "Zeke home?" He asked.

She nodded and opened the door for him to enter, "He's upstairs. But please be very quiet. My boyfriend is here and has a migraine." She answered and let him in and he took off up the stairs. But not before saying "Gracias." In his Spanish accent

He walked passed Shyanne's room and saw her crying about something. And Zeke was looking extremely irritated. "Hey guys," he asked as he slowly walked into the bedroom. "what's going on?" He asked.

"Mom wont take me to my friends house and it is supposed to be a sleepover." Shyanne explained. "Biggest one of the school. With Alison. Most popular girl in 9th grade," she explained further.

"I know what it's like Shy," Zeke stated.

She turned to him, fury and rage in her eyes, "No. you don't. you get to hang out with the coolest guy in the entire school." She practically yelled in his face. "So no, you don't know what its like." She stated.

Zeke shook his head in defeat. The door to the stairs opened, "All of you be quiet up there!" A male voice that Michael did not realize, said. "You are not leaving this house young lady!" He added before the door was heard slamming shut.

Michael turned around at the voice. And then turned to Zeke, "Who was that?" He asked.

"Moms new boyfriend. Troy." He answered.

"Oh." Michael stated. "Well, Zeke, you ready to go. I have to tell you a few things. And get you somewhere safe." He said cryptically.

"Of course." Shyanne muttered as she turned to look out the window. "Zeke, gets to go everywhere and do everything." She added loud enough for the two to hear her.

"Shy, you have just gotten back from Atlanta from visiting your grandmother." Michael said as he stayed neutral between the two fighting siblings. "Why do you wanna go out so badly?" He asked.

She turned to him. She had calmed down a little bit as he was using a tone that said don't argue with me. "I just…" She started as she wiped her face from the tears. "I just wanna go out. I don't want to be here by myself. Mom is so involved with her new boyfriend that I just want to get away. Its all she talked about in Atlanta." She explained.

"Okay, then lets go." Michael stated as he held out a hand for her to take.

Shyanne was taken aback, "What?" she asked.

"I'll take you to your friends house." He said.

"You don't have a car though and mom would kill us if we took hers." Shy explained.

Michael turned to Zeke. "Does she not remember I have magic?" He stated loudly.

She smiled at him. Evident of being sad still remains, "Oh yeah." She stated.

"But what if we get into trouble?" She asked. "What if we get grounded?" she asked Zeke.

"Trouble is my middle name." Michael stated as he wa joking. "But no I do this all the time really."

Zeke turned to his sister, "It'll be okay. Trust me." He stated.

Michael held out his hand. "So lets go," He ordered. Zeke had wrapped his hand around Michaels neck as if doing a 'bro' hug. Shyanne grabbed his outstretched hand and they all disappeared in bright orange lights as they flamed out.

An ancient burial ground

Good and Evil are there playing chess. Good was wearing a white robe with a halo above her head. Evil was wearing a black robe. Good sat in front of the board, meditating. Evil stood nearby.

Evil rolled his eyes, "Make a damned move." He said irrateted.

Good opened her eyes, "you're just mad because good is winning." She stated.

Evil shook his head, "No, just bored, standing there watching you think." He replied.

Good looked at her, "A-a-ah. Patience is a virtue." She said.

Evil smirked, "Oh, I have been plenty patient. Three thousand, five hundred years patient." He clarified.

"Hmm." Good stated as she waved her hand at the board and a piece moved to another square by a bright white light, "There, happy now?" She stated.

Evil moved a piece across and smashed Good's piece. "Now, who's winning?" Evil replied.

The Source flamed in at that moment and Good and Evil stood next to eac h other. "You need to leave immediately. This place is an ancient burial ground." She ordered and explained.

The Source growled, "I know that. Thank you." He replied.

"With all due respect. You are not allowed to be here." Evil stated.

"Have you forgotten who I am?" The source yelled. "Who's side youre on?" He asked.

Good stood forward at that moment, "There are no sides. We protect all magic. That was the agreement." She stated.

The Source had enough and threw his hand out releasing a fireball at her. And she was vanquished. "The agreements just been revoked." He sneered.

Evil threw an electric bolt at the Source and he fell to the ground. When he stood back up, his hood flipped back to reveal his greenish-yellow skin and his mutilated face. "Please. The Hollow is a threat to us all!" He pleaded.

"That's exactly the power I need." The Source replied and threw Evil across the room. He went over to a large door. He struggled to open it. A rectangular box was floating in the middle of the room. He made it float over to him. He walked over to Evil.

Evil looked at the Source very terrified, "No, please don't. The Hollow consumes powers!" He begged as the Source opened the box and millions of black dots flew into Evil through his eye sockets. And the source closed the box."
"Now you'll be able to consume powers. And give them to me." The Source replied.

Zeke's house

Michael and Zeke flamed back into Zeke's room after dropping Shyanne off at her friends house. "Mikey, why are you so shaken up?" Zeke asked.

Michael looked around making sure no one was listening, "Phoebe had a premonition." He stated.

"So," Zeke said. "She gets those all the time." He added.

Michael looked at him, "Of the Source." He concluded.

"Oh." Zeke stated as he put the pieces together. "Fight to the death huh?" He asked.

"fight to the death." Michael clarified. "I don't know what to do Zeke. I haven't found my father and he has been missing, as far as I know, for four months." He stated. "And now the sisters and I have to fight the Source…"

"You'll get through it, buddy." Zeke replied. "I know you will."

Michael smiled at him. Zeke always knew how to make him smile and laugh. Even in the most serious of situations. "Thanks." He replied.

At that moment Tanya let out a screech and ran into Zeke's room. "Shy is missing. Shy is missing." She repeated. "She ran away." She added.

"What's going on?" A male voice said, the voice belonged to Troy. Zeke's moms new boyfriend. "And who are you?" He said looking towards Michael.

The way he said it, it was a tone of anger. And Michael was taken aback. "Que?" He asked in his Puerto Rican accent.

Troy looked at him, "I apologize for sounding rude. I just have a migraine from hell." He explained.

"Shy is missing." Tanya explained. "She's gone. Ran away." She explained.

Michael nodded his head, "She didn't run away." He explained. "I took her to her friends house." He said.

Tanya visibly relaxed as she let out a sigh. "Oh." She stated. "Okay." She saw Michael was a little shaken up. "Troy, honey. Will you go make the boys some hot chocolate?" She asked.

He looked at them and then said, "Sure." He then looked at her. "But when are we gonna decide to bring my boys over?" He asked.

"Later." She replied. "Go get the hot cocoa." She ordered.

"I'm going." He replied and left the room.

She turned back to Michael, "Sweetie, what's the matter?" She asked. "You look like you have had enough."

"Fight to the death." Zeke replied. "His cousin had a vision." He answered.

"Oh. Honey." She replied and gave Michael a hug.

There was a buzzing in Michael's pocket. Zeke looked at him funny. "Since when do you have a cell phone?" He asked.

"Since Prue bought one for me when you were in Atlanta." Michael replied and opened up his phone. "Hola?" he asked. He wasn't sure how to set up the calls yet to know who it is.

"Mikey?" Piper's voice said on the other line.

"Oh. Hey Piper, what's up?" He asked.

"Um, well, do you think you could come home?" She asked "I will feel better knowing all of us are here and we don't know what we are up against. I'm just worried." She added.

"Piper, the worry-er." He quipped. "Yeah, I'll be there. Give me like 30 minutes tops?" He asked.

"Thank you. Thank you." Piper sighed in relief. "That should be fine buddy!" Piper said and hung up.

"It was Piper." Michael stated as he toyed with his phone trying to save the house number into it. Zeke laughed and took it from him. "You can hack into a laptop. And even Andy's computer. But cant work a cell phone," He stated.

"I never needed one." Michael replied. "We should leave the normal way. Troy doesn't know about magic yet?" He asked.

"I will talk to him about it tonight." Tanya stated. "You boys go. I'll go with troy and we will have a date night." She stated and left the room as the boys walked downstairs towards the door.

Manor: Attic

Piper and Phoebe were looking through the Book of Shadows as Piper had hung up the phone. "Okay, Mikey should be on his way. he said 30 minutes at most." Piper stated.

"Oooh." Phoebe replied. "Good news." She replied to Piper.

"You found the demon with half a face?" Piper asked.

Phoebe shook her head, "So, we found a demon with half a body but no demon with half a face." She replied.

Piper turned to her, "Well, we do have two resident demonologists living in the house." She stated.

Phoebe turned her attention to her sister, "Yeah, we've had that conversation." She replied.

"All right. You keep looking. I'll go get some coffee and fill Prue in." She stated as she walked out of the attic.

"Okay," Phoebe said as Piper had walked out of the room. Suddenly, a demon appeared, "Piper!" She yelled as she was hit by a bolt of lightning and sent flying across the room and crashed into a mirror and fell to the floor. At that moment, Piper ran in. "Piper, blow him up." She stated.

Piper flicked her wrists the demon had vanished for a split second before returning to normal, "Thank you," He sad as he mimicked her hand motion and blew up the sewing machine. Piper dodged out of the way and saw a knife and threw it towards him. It hit him in the neck and he was vanquished. The black dots disappearing through the ceiling.

"Phoebe did you see that?" Piper asked. And Phoebe fell to her stomach as a large piece of glass was stuck in her back. "Phoebe!" She yelled. "Mikey!" She called out. "Leo!" She yelled.

~PO4~

Halliwell Manor

Piper and Leo were trying to get the glass out of Phoebe's shoulder when Michael and Zeke flamed in. "Hey," He said and then saw Phoebe on the ground. "What happened?" he asked.

"Demon attack," Piper responded.

Michael threw his hand out towards Phoebe, "Couch," He yelled and she flamed onto the couch that lied in the attic.

Leo began to heal Phoebe, "What's taking so long?" Piper asked.

"She almost died that's what is taking so long." Leo replied as the healing finished and her eyes opened.

"What happened?" Phoebe asked as she looked around at everyone in the room. "Where is Prue?" she asked.

"She is on her way home." Piper replied, "And one very mean demon." She added.

Michael piped up at that moment, "Did you get him?" He asked as he formed an energy ball.

Piper shook her head to reassure him, "Yes. But something else got away. And that's not all." She stated and picked up a vase and gave it to Leo. "Throw this." She ordered. He gave her a confused frown, "Just do it." She ordered and he did so. She threw her hands out and nothing happened as the vase shattered. "My powers are gone." She added.

"It stole your powers?" Phoebe asked.

"Stole. Ate. Absorbed. I don't know but the only thing I do know is I got to get them back." She stated as she walked over towards the book.

"I don't understand. We vanquish a demon and then lose our powers. How does that happen?" Phoebe asked.

"That thing must have absorbed her powers somehow although I don't know how," Leo explained.

"With the source lurking around," Phoebe quipped.

Michael closed his eyes tightly, "Wait," he whispered to himself as if to give himself time to figure out what is going on. When he opened his eyes everyone in the room was frozen, Piper, Phoebe, Leo, and Zeke. They were all frozen in time. He closed his eyes again and concentrated. Everything unfroze.

"That's him. This is him, 'Guardians of the Hollow' ring any bells?" Piper asked after she read the page.

"Impossible," Michael stated as he walked over to the book. "very impossible." He added and scanned the page.

"Why not," Phoebe asked, "What is it?" She asked.

Leo turned to her and began to explain, "The Hollow is something that consumes all magic. Good or evil. And both sides agreed to guard it." He explained.

"That thing must have been the Hollow. It must have taken over the demon." Michael stated as he sat down next to Phoebe.

Phoebe looked at Leo, "Well, then how do we get it to regurgitate?" She asked.

Piper looked at the page once more, "Hmm." She said and gained everyone's attention. "There's no mention of a vanquish here." She mentioned.

"You can't vanquish it." Michael stated. "No one can." He added.

Leo nodded in agreement, "The last time it was unleashed it nearly decimated all magic, all things." He added to Michael's thought.

"The last time it was unleashed?" Zeke asked as he was so confused. "What do you mean unleashed?" he asked.

"Eons ago." Leo began. "Good and evil had to join forces and use their strongest magic and even then all they could do was contain it." He explained.

"Okay, so then that leads to the question." Michael began. "If both good and evil are seeing eye to eye on this one, who let it out?" he asked the question everyone was wondering.

"The Source." Piper suggested.

Leo nodded his head, "If he was desperate enough." He stated.

"Which means he won't just stop at my powers. He is going to send another demon for Yours, Prue's and Paige's." Piper stated. "He might even send one after you too, dear." She added with a glance towards Michael.

"The demon with a half a face, see if he's in the book." Phoebe ordered lightly.

"He won't be," Michael offered. "I'm just saying maybe we need to focus on the Source." He added.

"Even if you could use your powers, you wouldn't be able too because they would just steal them." Leo explained.

Phoebe looked defeated and Piper looked at Michael, "Then how do we stop them?" Phoebe asked.

"We'll use potions instead." Piper suggested. "Mikey and I can make one to replicate my exploding power. We will make several." She stated.

"Okay, you better get Prue and Paige. Your going to need the Power of Four." Leo stated. "I'll go check with the elders." He said and orbed out of the attic.

"I can go get Prue. Is she at work?" Michael asked.

"I think she and Andy are at the Magazine." Piper said. "That's where she was the last time, we talked to her. She said she would be an hour at most. But that was an hour and a half ago." She added.

"I'll go get her." Michael stated and grabbed Zeke's arm and flamed them both out before either sister could protest.

"On a scale from one to bad…?" Phoebe asked.

Court room

Paige was standing outside the door and Darryl was beside her. "This is very bad." She stated. "Something must have happened to her," She added.

"She seemed pretty shaky this morning." Darryl said. "You don't think she…" He started but was cut off.

"No. No, she wouldn't sabotage this, not when she's this close to getting her son back." Paige stated.

"Yeah, well, I believe you. But will the judge?" He asked.

"God, I hope her ex didn't find her." Paige started as her phone rang. She put it up to her ear. "Hello?" She stated. "Oh, Hey Mikey," she said. "Something bad?" She asked. "Okay, I'm on my way." She said. Ever since moving in with her sisters and cousin she always trusted when they needed her. And this was one of those times. She turned to Darryl, "I've got to go," She stated.

"You can't just leave," Darryl began. "You're the only reason she's getting a second chance." He explained.

"Well, it's up to you now." She stated. "I have to go, Mikey said it's a demonic emergency. A big one. He sounded shaken up." She added.

Darryl of all people understood. "Okay, what do you need me to do?" He asked.

"I need you to post pone the hearing for a couple of hours." Paige said.

"You know better than that. You can't just postpone legal proceedings. There are forms to file." He explained.

"Please Darryl." Paige said. "Can you please pull some strings and but us some time. If we don't help her then there is no one who will." She added.

Darryl shook his head, "okay, I'll try." He said.

Paige looked at him, "Thanks. Just keep paging her, trying her at home, we have got to find her." She said.

415 magazine

Prue was at her office dropping of the latest assignment she had. She was in her office when Andy walked in. "Hey, Piper called. We need to get home." He stated as he stopped in front of her desk.

"I am just finishing up some paperwork. Shouldn't be more than ten minutes." She clarified as flames surrounded the area beside Andy.

"You are here," Michael stated as he became corporeal with Zeke in tow. "We really need you to come home." He stated.

"Let me just finish up some paperwork. It should be a few minutes." She stated sternly. Her job was important to her.

"Prue, we don't have a few minutes!" He yelled.

"Hey. Do not yell at her." Andy demanded.

"And I don't have time to be lectured by you, either." He stated. "This is the least of our problems." He stated.

"It can't be that bad," Andy stated with his armed across his chest, obviously unhappy he had to deal with a teenager at this moment.

Michael turned to him, "Will it surprise you to know that the Source released the hollow?" He asked and Prue's eyes went wide. "And it already took Piper's power." He added.

"What?" Prue asked. "How come I wasn't informed?" She asked.

Michael gave her a confused look, "Piper said she talked to your assistant earlier. Said you'd be an hour at most." He revealed.

"Oh. Yeah, I had to develop some photos for Mr. Corso." She replied.

"We need to go." He said and grabbed her hand. And the grabbed Zeke's other hand. "You, take Sophie to Darryl's. and stay there until we give the all clear." He ordered and flamed out leaving behind one pissed off and confused Andy.

"Why don't you do it?" He asked under his breathe. "Your magical." He muttered as the flames died down and he walked out the door.

Halliwell Manor

Piper and Phoebe were in the kitchen, "Here you go one owl feather." Phoebe stated as she handed it to Piper.

Piper turned to her sister, "Do you think I jinxed us? With the will? Maybe it wasn't such a great idea." She stated.

"Actually, I'm beginning to think it was a very smart idea." Phoebe replied.

"That's not so funny." Piper stated.

Phoebe sighed, "trust me. I know." She said.

Cole walked in at that moment, "Hi." He said. "Am I back too soon?" He asked.

"Um…" Phoebe began.

"We need his help." Piper said. "No time to be evasive." She added.

"Help for what?" Cole asked. "well, it's obvious you're making a potion, so what is it your not telling me?" He asked

Phoebe looked at him, "Um, I had a premonition." She revealed. "A demon attacked, and you jumped in front of a fireball to save me." She explained.

"What?" he asked. "You can't keep these things from me." He said just as flames began to appear.

"I was trying to protect you," Phoebe stated as Prue, Zeke and Michael became corporeal.

"Well, that's not a good enough reason," Cole argued.

"What did we just flame into?" Michael asked as he went to help Piper with her potion.

Piper silenced him with her finger, "I hate to interrupt, but maybe we should talk about the demon." She stated.

"What'd he look like?" He asked her.

"Creepy half face, and his good side had tribal markings, a little bit like…" She stated but was cut off.

"Belthazor," He finished for her.

"A little bit." She confirmed. "Do you know who he is?" She asked.

"Does he work for the Source." Prue now spoke up since she had first gotten there a few moments prior.

Cole turned to her, "I'm surprised Mikey didn't tell you guys." He stated and all eyes turned to him. "He doesn't work for the Source, Prue, he is the source. His face was disfigured in the battle that brought him to power. Only upper level demons have seen it." He stated and then turned back towards Phoebe, "You should have told me." He added.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Piper asked as she put ingredients into the potion.

"I didn't know for sure," Michael stated. "If I had I would have said something this morning." He said.

"So, then, he's the one who released the Hollow," Piper concluded as she put her arm around Michael.

Cole looked at them, confused, "The Hollow?" He asked. "What do you mean released?"

"It already attacked us." Phoebe revealed. "It took Piper's power." She added.

"Well, then, you'd better figure out a way to beat the Source without your powers otherwise…" He stated but was cut off by Michael adding in the last ingredient and an explosion was heard.

"Already on it," Piper stated with a smile.

Zeke's house

Troy, Zeke's mom's new boyfriend, had gotten up from his nap. He felt a lot better now that he slept a little bit. He was sitting at the dining room table as he sipped on some coffee. "I can't quite place it," He told his girlfriend who was sitting across from him on her laptop. She had to do a few things for work. "But the house seems so peaceful and quiet tonight." He said.

That's when Tanya finally decided to say something, "That's because the kids are out of the house for the night." She stated and closed her laptop and took a seat next to him "What do you say, you and I, go rent a hotel room, and make a dinner reservation, and have a good night." She stated as she kissed his neck.

"We still need to talk about when my boys will be able to come over." He reminded her.

She looked at him and smiled, she loved the man sitting with her, "Bring them over tomorrow night. I know Zeke might be spending a couple nights with Mikey. And Shy, she might end up going over to another friends house." She explained.

"Mikey?" He asked. "Was that the boy that was hear earlier?" he asked. "I got a bad vibe from him. I don't trust him." He added.

That's when Tanya's eyes went from lovely to anger, "That boy has done a lot for this family," She explained.

"You haven't told me what he has done though." Troy explained. "Who is he?" He asked.

Tanya was about to reveal the big secret but something inside her told her not too, "Zeke's best friend." She stated.

"Well, I'm sure he is," Troy stated as he kissed his girlfriend. "Let's go," he stated. "to the hotel you were talking about. And the restaurant." He added. They both got up and left the house.

Underworld: Sources Cavern

The Source had blown up a vase and then froze it at the same time as it shattered. "The witches' powers are impressive," he stated.

The Seer turned around to face him, "Nevertheless, do you think it wise to have extracted them from the hollow?" She asked. "There could be repercussions." She added.

"Damn the repercussions, Seer," He yelled. "I won't stop until I have all four of there powers coursing through my veins." He explained as the vase unfroze and the pieces fell to the floor. "I cannot risk going up against them until I do." He added. "And When I have destroyed them, I will make the boy forget everything of his life with them. He will be pure demon." He added as an afterthought.

"But, no one wins while the Hollow runs free." The Seer explained.

The Source picked up some of the glass from the vase, "I control the hollow." He said.

"For now," The Seer said. "But the more magic it absorbs the more stronger it becomes." She began. "And the more you extract from it, the more it corrupts all things including you." She pleaded with him.

The Source turned to her harshly, "Unless you want to face eternity as a pile of ash, I suggest you stop questioning me and do as I say!" He yelled.

The Seer bowed her head, as the Source summoned a darklighter who kneels when he sees who summoned him, "How can I be of service?" The Darklighter asked.

"I want the Charmed Ones, Darklighter." The Source stated.

The darklighter looked at him confused, "But my arrows don't kill witches." He explained.

The Source picked up the Hollow, "But they do kill whitelighters. I want you to kill there's so he can't heal them anymore." He stated as he opened the box and a bunch of the flying particles went inside the darklighter through his eyes and nose. "And when you've done that, then I want you to bring me a little gift." He explained as he closed the box.

Manor: Kitchen

Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Paige and Cole were standing doing various things, "Five magic crystals oriented from east to west." Paige said as she stood back up, "Magic circle check." She stated.

Michael poured some liquid into a potion vial while Piper did as well, "oooh," Piper quipped, "Purple good. Purple equals exploding power. Exploding power check." She stated.

Michael looked at his potion that was a very bright blue, "A potion that will vanquish just about any demon. Check," he stated as he handed a few vials to the sisters.

Phoebe took the vial and pulled out a piece of paper, "One fabulously written Source vanquishing spell. Check." She stated.

"Don't get cocky," Cole stated.

"Not cocky. Confident." Phoebe clarified.

"Or maybe optimism is best," Prue said with a smirk.

Piper added to her sisters thought, "We are talking about the Source of all evil." She stated.

Michael looked around, "Has anyone seen Zeke?" he asked. "He was her ten minutes ago." He added.

Paige pointed to the kitchen door, "I think he went and is trying to find anything in the book that might help. And he said he was gonna call Rosaline." She stated.

Phoebe turned to him, "You haven't told her yet?" She asked.

"I haven't really had the time with helping you out. And then taking Shy to her friends house and then with the Hollow." He explained as Leo orbed in.

"The Source unleashed the Hollow." Leo explained as he became corporeal.

"Already on that train honey. It took my powers. Anything else?" She asked.

Leo nodded and began to explain, "Good and evil need to join forces and read the inscription on the box where the hollow is kept." He explained. "That will put it back in its crypt and return your powers." He explained.

"That I did not know." Michael stated from his spot next to Piper. "And we now know how to banish it. So that's good news." He stated.

Phoebe looked at him, "Only good news if the Source brings the box and we find an evil being willing to help," she stated.

Paige turned to Cole, "Hey Cole too bad you're not still evil." She stated.

"I still feel bad about that." Michael piped up.

Cole looked at him and saw the sadness in his eyes. "It was a long time coming." He stated. "And one step at a time. First we vanquish the Source and then we will worry about putting Pandora back into its box" He added.

Michael's cell phone began to go off. Playing some sort of music in Spanish. "Hello?" He asked as he answered it. "Darryl?" He said. "Andy gave you my number?" he asked and waited for a response. "Paige? Sure, hold on." He stated and held the phone to Paige. "It's Darryl." He yelled. "But why is he calling me? Where is your phone?" he asked.

Paige pulled her phone out of her pocket and saw she had ten missed calls from Darryl. "oops." She stated and took his phone. "Hello? Hey Darryl." She stated and walked into the dining room. "Oh no." She said. "Are you sure she's gonna be okay?" she asked.

Darryl on the other line said, "yeah, the ER doctor said there no internal bleeding. She still got beat up pretty bad."

Paige put a hand through her hair as she normally did when she was frustrated, "Damn it, how did he find her?" She asked.

"I have no Idea. But I've got every available officer out there looking for him." Darryl explained.

"What about the hearing?" Paige asked.

"I got it postponed for an hour from now, but I doubt we're gonna find him by then. Look Paige, with their history it doesn't look good."He said.

Paige had sighed at this point and hung up the phone by slamming it shut as it was just a flip phone. "How does Mikey have a better phone than me?" she asked herself as Leo walked up to her.

"We need you in the kitchen." He stated.

Paige began to walk to the kitchen but stop, "You know, Leo, I have my charges too." She stated as the Darklighter orbed in and pointed his arrow at Leo. "Leo!" She cried. Her yell alerted her sisters and cousin to where she was.

"Paige?" Michael yelled as he stopped next to her.

"Crossbow!" She yelled. The demon merely absorbed her magic but was unaffected.

"No! Your powers!" Cole yelled.

The Darklighter glared at Paige and shot an arrow at her, "Arrow!" Michael yelled as the arrow flamed to his hand and he threw it to his side. "Wanna try that again?" he challenged.

The darklighter glared at him this time and fired another one. "Arrow!" He yelled. It was a continuous loop between the two.

"Why is the hollow not taking your magic?" Piper asked.

Prue ran a hand through her hair, "Could be the Arrow isn't touching the darklighter. Makes it fair game. Gotta love loop holes." Prue stated.

"Leo!" Piper called out and going to her husbands side.

The darklighter changed his mind and pointed at Paige once again, "Paige, watch out!" Phoebe yelled. And Paige ducked behind a wall. Phoebe threw the potion at the darklighter and he exploded. The black flying particles flying away.

"Oh no," Piper stated as she grabbed her husband to help him to the couch.

Commercial Break

Manor

In the living room Michael was helping Piper get Leo to the couch. Who at this point was in a lot of pain. Piper was holding on to the end of the arrow.

"Sweetie," Piper turned to Michael, "Do you think you can flame the arrow out. That way its not painful?" She asked hopefully.

Michael nodded, "Arrow," He called, and it flamed into his hand. "Paige do not touch this. You are a whitelighter too," he stated as she reached out to take it. He put it on the table beside the couch.

Leo breathed heavily as the arrow was no longer stuck in his shoulder, "You're okay. Just lie back. Easy." Piper ordered lightly.

Leo tried to smirk, "Still bossing everyone around, huh?" he asked. "That's Prue's job." He tried to joke.

"You'd better believe it." Piper stated.

Paige looked at Leo, "I don't understand, how come you can heal us but you can't heal yourself?" She asked.

"It just doesn't work that way." he stated.

Michael stood there with tears in his eyes, Leo, the one-person Michael saw as family for a long time, his whitelighter. Was dying on the sofa. "Leo," he whispered.

"You can switch powers with Phoebe. Like we did before," Piper suggested.

"No!" Leo yelled. "Look, last time it switched all of the powers there is no telling who will get whose." He explained. "And with Prue and Phoebe without there powers and the Source comes. You won't stand a chance. I mean it. I'm still your whitelighter." He explained.

"I can hold off the Source long enough for them to heal you, Leo." Michael piped up at this point. "Please, I don't want to lose you," he said as he sobbed into Paige's shoulder and she put a hand on his head and let him cry.

"No, Mikey," he stated. "That potion that witch threw at you last week, the elders say it could release your inner darkness. If you take on the source. You could turn." He stated.

"But just long enough for Phoebe to heal you," Michael argued.

"No!" Leo yelled. "And that's final." He said.

Piper looked at her husband, "Well, who's bossing whom around now?" She asked. "Paige, Mikey, go find Prue and Phoebe and find something else. See if Zeke found anything in the book. A spell, an amulet, whatever. Go!" she ordered.

"Come on, honey," Paige said as she walked with Michael into the conservatory where Prue, Phoebe and Cole were waiting. "You're okay." She stated.

Phoebe shook her head, "It'll never work." She stated.

"Will anything?" Michael asked as he tried to keep his sobs at bay.

Phoebe sighed deeply, "I don't know." She answered.

"So, what, we're all just gonna die?" Paige asked.

"We can't think that way," Cole said.

"Why not?" Paige asked in defense. "Isn't that what we are all thinking anyway?" She asked.

Michael looked at the ground lost in thought, "I'll be back." He said and walked off to the stairs. "Zeke! Have you heard from Rosaline?" he asked as he ran up the stairs.

Phoebe watched him leave, "We'll figure a way out of this." She stated.

"How?" Paige asked. "The Source knew we'd be prepared. That's why he came after our powers. The Source knew we had an in-house healer, that's why he came after Leo. He knows what we're gonna do before we even do." She explained.

"Well, Paige," Prue began, "It aint over yet. I still have my power and Phoebe still has hers. And Mikey, He still has his." She added.

"Great, Two powers down." Paige stated.

Michael's room

Michael had gotten into his room and looked into the mirror with his tear stained face. "First my father, now Leo." He stated. "The Source will not take my cousins away too." He demanded to himself. "Rosaline!" He yelled quietly.

Blue and white lights filled the room as Rosaline appeared, "Hey, Honey," She greeted and went to kiss him. "What's up?" She asked.

After returning the kiss, Michael looked her in the eyes, "Did Zeke tell you?" He asked.

"About the Source? Yes." She stated.

"And how he released the Hollow?" Michael asked. "Which already has Piper and Paige's powers." He added. "And the Source sent a darklighter after Leo." He explained.

"Oh, sweetie," Rosaline said sadly as she took a seat next to him on his bed. "I am so sorry." She said and hugged him.

"I don't know what I will do if I lose Leo." Michael explained. "He has been there for me my whole life. He even took me in when my mother died. He's more of a family than my own father, who I still haven't found by the way," He ranted.

"Sweetie," Rosaline said. "Shh." She ordered lightly. "We won't let Leo die. And you guys will defeat the Source." She explained. "Isn't that what you have been training the sisters to do this past five months?" she asked.

"It is. But I am afraid it still won't be enough. Only one sister with an active power. And another with a passive power. The Source is too strong." He explained.

Rosaline still held Michael in her arms as he was sobbing so hard into her chest, "There is one thing even you fail to realize that I don't think the Source knows." She said.

"What's that?" He asked through the sobs.

"That even if he does have their powers in the Hollow. The Hollow isn't strong enough to contain the Power of Four. That is the strongest magic in the world. The collective power of the Charmed Ones." She explained.

"Of course, the Source thinks that if he were to get their powers, they wouldn't be able to vanquish him." He said. "But nothing is stronger than the Power of Four." He explained with a new boost of confidence. "Thanks honey." He stated and kissed his girlfriend. They kissed long and began to make out.

Underworld: Sources cavern

"Two to go." He stated. And then turned to the Seer, "Gonzalez will try and stop me. What do you see, Seer. Tell me." He ordered.

"I saw…" She stated "Nothing." She finished.

"What do you mean?" The Source asked. "Do I or do I not have the power to defeat the witches?" He asked.

The Seer turned around, "You misunderstand." She started. "I see nothing. No magic. No life. No world. The Hollow will consume everything just as I warned." She concluded.

"Then if there is no future then I have no further need for you do I, Seer?" He asked.

"Please, I beg you. Find another way. put the Hollow back where it belongs." She pleaded.

"Not until I've killed them all." He answered. "Not until I finish."

"But that's madness." She said. "The Hollow won't let you stop there." She said.

"Then so be it!" he yelled.

"Forgive me." The Seer Said. "I serve you always. Even until the end." She added.

"Guard the Hollow." The Source ordered. "I have one more demon to recruit. And two more powers to obtain." He said and flamed out.

The Seer touched the box and her eyes went white as she saw the future.

Manor

Piper went into the living room with a glass of water. She slowed down when she saw Leo wasn't moving, "Leo?" She asked.

Let groaned and looked at her, "Hey," he said.

Piper sighed with relief. "Hey," She said and knelt down beside him. "Drink this." She ordered and poured some water into his mouth.

"I guess you picked the wrong beneficiary after all." He said.

"Don't talk like that," She ordered.

"Piper, You need to get out of here before he comes back." Leo said.

Piper shook her head, "I'm not leaving you." She stated.

"The Source…" Leo began.

"Is not going to scare me away." Piper finished his sentence. "And neither are you, so just forget about it." She added. "You're not going to die because I'm not gonna let you." She said.

Michael's Room

Michael and Rosaline had stopped making out, his plaid shirt had the three top buttons unbuttoned revealing his chest and were now talking about what they were going to do. "Rosaline, please just take Zeke somewhere safe. And then stay with him." He argued for the umpteenth time.

"No." She stated. "I am not leaving you." She added.

Michael finally lost it, "I am asking you to get Zeke to safety and to protect you!" He yelled a little of his Spanish accent coming out.

"And I am telling you not a chance!" Rosaline yelled back. "You're my boyfriend, I am with you!" She said.

"I don't want anything to happen to you!" He yelled. "I love you." He stated with his Spanish accent and on the verge of tears once again. "I cannot lose you too!" He added. "God, not you." He said and hugged her.

She hugged him back. "I have an active power too, babe," She stated. "I can use my ice magic if needed. And I can orb. Please let me help." She pleaded.

"I think I found something," A voice said and startled the two.

Michael turned around and wiped his eyes, "Zeke, how long have you been standing there?" he asked.

"For about the last ten minutes. I was in the kitchen talking to Piper. But she sent me up here to help you." He answered. "You know, when your angry and upset. Your accent comes out." He stated.

"I know, it does that." Michael stated. "Especially when I speak Spanish." He added.

"What accent?" Rosaline asked, "Its cute." She Said.

"Puerto Rican." Michael answered. "I know Spanish because I have family that lives there and in Mexico and some in Columbia." He stated. "I have family all over. Some with magic some without." He added.

"What was your idea Zeke?" He asked

"Follow me." He stated and they walked out of the bedroom.

Phoebe's bedroom

Cole opened the closet and pulled something out of a coat pocket when Phoebe walked in and opened the dresser drawer, "I'm just looking for my potion book." She stated. "You know the one Mikey gave me last Christmas. Have you seen it?" she asked.

"I didn't think you could save Leo with a potion." Cole stated.

"Well, it's not to just save Leo. Its to save us all." She corrected.

"Oh yeah?" Cole asked. "How?"

"I don't know." She said and sat on her bed in defeat. "But I have to do something. I can't just sit around and…" She was cut off by what Cole was holding. "What's that?" She asked.

"This?" He asked and held the box up to her and she nodded. "It's just a little something that I've been waiting for the right moment to give you." He stated and opened the box to reveal a beautiful diamond ring. "It's not your grams but hopefully its not cursed." He stated.

"I…I don't think now is the time," Phoebe said to him honestly.

"Actually, I think now is the perfect time." He said and took the ring out of the box and put it on her finger. "This way no matter what happens, you'll always know that I love you." He stated.

"Its beautiful," Phoebe said as she looked at it. "Now you have to go." She stated.

"No, I am staying here with you." Cole replied.

"Do you want me to watch you die?" Phoebe asked. "Or Mikey for that matter?" She asked.

"If that's what it takes to save you." Cole replied.

"No, But I am supposed to save you. That's why I got the premonition." She stated.

"Not necessarily," Cole replied. "You know as well as I do, you're not meant to stop every premonition. Just are just meant to prepare you for what's to come." He explained as the doorbell rang.

Downstairs, The doorbell had rang, "I'll be right there!" Paige called out as she made her way to the door.

Piper came out of the living room and stopped Paige in her tracks, "Paige, this is no time for guests," She stated.

"Its not social," Paige clarified. "I called Darryl." She added.

"Darryl?" Piper asked. "You're supposed to be helping Phoebe. Besides, Darryl is supposed to be with Andy. Filling him in. and telling him to keep away." She added.

"She doesn't need my help. She's got Mikey." Paige stated. "But there is somebody who does need my help. Excuse me," Paige stated as she opened the door. She saw Caroline with bruises and cuts on her face, Kind of like how Michael was last week when he and Paige went undercover. "Oh, Caroline." She stated as she saw her.

"I am so sorry, Paige." Caroline began. "After everything you've done to help me." She said.

"It's not over, not yet," Paige stated.

"Paige," Michael called in as he walked into the room. Rosaline was with Piper and they both walked in.

"Hey Mikey," Paige stated as she saw him. She grabbed his hand and pulled him into a one armed hug, "Mikey here is like one of my best friends. He has done a lot for me." She stated with a small smile.

Caroline smiled at him, he reminded her of her own son, "Best friend." She whispered to herself although Paige heard her. "Wait, is he the one you were telling me about? The one that reunited you with your family?" She asked.

"He is. He is also my cousin." She stated. "He came and found me when my sisters needed me the most." She stated and kissed his cheek.

"Bleh," Michael stated as he pushed out of her grasp. "Paaaaaige." He whined.

"Paige," Piper called out.

"Darryl, take Caroline into the sunroom?" Paige asked.

"Is everything okay?" Daryl asked the three standing in front of him.

"No," Piper stated.

"Yes," Paige said at the same time.

Michael looked at him, "Honestly, I don't know." He stated. "We are figuring things out now." He admitted.

Darryl took that as an answer and walked into the sunroom with Caroline.

Piper turned to Paige, who still had Michael in a one armed hug again, "Are you out of your mind?" Piper asked. "We don't have time for other people's problems right now," She stated.

"It's something I've got to do." Paige argued. "Especially if it's the last thing I do." She added and walked into the conservatory. Pulling Michael with her.

"Okay then," Piper muttered and walked off.

Rosaline stood there as Michael walked with Paige. She was checking him out in his black skinny jeans and his black plaid shirt. She smiled and walked away with Piper.

"Hey," Darryl said as he saw Paige and Michael walk into the room. "What's going on?" He asked.

"I don't have time to explain," Paige answered him and then turned to Caroline. "I think I can help you get your son back." She stated.

"But how?" Caroline asked. "The judge will take one look at me…" She began.

Paige shook her head and cut her off, "No, I think I can help." She stated. "I just need you to turn away from me. Please, just trust me." She said and Caroline turned away, a little skeptical.

Paige walked over to the Book of Shadows, which was now downstairs. Zeke had brought it down to explain to everyone what his plan was. Michael walked with her to it and Darryl followed, "You're going to use magic?" He asked.

"yes, I am," Paige stated and turned to Michael. "If you will help me." She added. "You yourself said, when I moved in, that spells are stronger with more than one witch. Please." She pleaded.

"I'll help." Michael stated. He knew more than anyone the feeling of wanting to help someone.

They joined hands and recited the spell quietly.

"Let the object of objection become but a dream,

As I cause this scene to be unseen."

Caroline's face had bright lights around it, although she was unaware and she turned around and the bruises and cuts had vanished and her face was no longer in pain.

"Whoa," Darryl stated at the display of magic.

"What?" Caroline asked. "What happened?"

"Just a second, Caroline." Darryl stated and turned back to Paige and Michael. "Look, I've known you guys long enough to know that you don't do something like this unless something is seriously wrong." He stated. "What's going on?" He asked. "Does Andy know?" He added.

Paige looked at him and shook her head, "Just get down town and make the judge see the real Caroline, and make sure that slime boy ex of hers gets put away. Please. Just go." She stated

Darryl walked back over to Caroline and they both left the house. Phoebe and Cole walk in with Prue and Zeke. "Piper," Phoebe called.

Piper walked in and Cole began to explain, "Zeke might have found a way to get your powers back." He said.

"Then maybe Paige can help heal Leo." Phoebe added.

"Or orb him to the elders and have them heal hm," Prue added.

"A spell?" Piper asked as she turned to Zeke

Zeke nodded, "Remember a few years ago. The spell to call a witches power?" he asked and Prue, Piper and Phoebe nodded. "I think, that maybe, it might be strong enough to call your magic from the Hollow." He added.

"Could that even work?" Paige asked.

"It has too." Piper said and she turned to Cole. "Uh, could you go watch Leo?" she asked kindly and they leave the room as Cole leaves to go into the living room.

Cole went to sit on the coffee table next to Leo when he felt a strange pull from inside him, strange yet familiar and he was shimmered out of the house. To the one place a forced shimmer can take someone. The Underworld.

The Underworld

Cole shimmered in the Sources Cavern and looked around. He was a little terrified as he didn't have any magic anymore "Don't be afraid." The Seer said in the shade and he couldn't see her.

"Who are you?" Cole asked. "Where am I?" He added.

"Back in your once and future life, Belthazor." The Seer explained.

"Belthazor?" Cole asked as the Seer moved closer, "Seer," he stated finally able to see her.

"Even now I can see the void where your demon half used to exist." She stated. "It craves to be complete again." She added.

Cole looked at her with curiosity, "How'd you know I was still alive?" He asked.

"I had a vision. One where you and I do great things together." She explained.

"I don't work with evil anymore." He stated.

"To save your precious witch, you might reconsider." The Seer said. "Only you and I can help beat the Source." She explained.

"I'm listening." He stated.

"If you take in the Hollow, you can absorb the Sources power when he attacks. Once powerless. They can vanquish him." She explained as she picked up the box containing the Hollow.

"What happens to me after?" He asked.

"The witches and I will banish the Hollow back to it's crypt. You will return to normal." She explained.

"How do I know this isn't one of the Source's tricks?" he asked. "Or yours for that matter."

The Seer sighed and began, "The Source has been corrupted by the Hollow. And is going to destroy us all. He cannot be allowed to continue with his path of madness," She explained

Cole thought for a moment, "If I do this, what do you see then?" He asked.

"A future, for both sides," She revealed.

He walked across the cavern to where she was at, "Is this the great thing you saw us doing together?" He asked.

"Perhaps," she said. "However, you wont ever know unless the Source is stopped first." She explained. "It's your only chance to save your love." She said as she opened the box and the flying particles flew into Cole through his eyes and mouth.

Halliwell Manor

Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige were standing by the book. Michael and Rosaline were standing on the opposite end of the room. Preparing to throw potions at a demon if one were to attack while they did this.

"Powers of the witches rise,

Course unseen across the skies,

Come to us who call you near,

Come to us and settle here,

The sisters chanted fast and in perfect unison. The house began to shake violently, signaling that the spell was working, how ever the shaking died down as the Source flamed in. "Oh my god." Paige stated as they all turned around.

The Source smirked evilly at them, "Not quite," He stated.

Michael threw a potion at the Source at that moment and he was sent flying across the room, "Guys run," he ordered, and the sisters ran into the living room.

The Source got up and glared at Michael, "You," he said in disgust.

"I thought we called for our powers." Paige stated as she jumped over a couch.

The Sources attention was now off of Michael and back to the Charmed Ones. He threw out his hand and blew up a wall as the sisters dived into the foyer.

"I have your powers now!" He stated and formed a fireball. "And a few of my own." He added as he threw the fireball.

Michael took in the scene in front of him, "No!" He yelled as he ran and pushed Piper out of the way taking the full hit for himself. He was thrown through a wall. A second later Piper was also thrown into the wall as the Source through another fireball.

"Mikey!" Rosaline stated as she ran over to him. She got up and glared at the Source.

"Piper!" Paige cried as she went to her sisters side.

"Go get upstairs." Rosaline yelled.

"Piper," Michael said as he came to. "Paige get her upstairs." He ordered. And she pulled her sister up and the remaining sisters helped while walking as fast as they could up the stairs.

The Source formed another fireball. This time a larger one, "It is very sad I have to kill you now." The Source stated directly at Michael. "The suffering you'll feel in the wasteland knowing you died the same way your mother did." He explained and aimed the fireball. "By my hand," He revealed and threw the fireball.

Rosaline watched the fireball head towards them at rapid speed and waited for it. If they were going to die. They were dying together. However she never felt the impact as Michael flamed the two of them out.

"No!" The Source yelled as he too flamed out.

Wherever Jared is…

Jared Gonzalez, was inside a room hands tied to the ceiling. "For the final time," One of the guys said. "How powerful is the prince of darkness?" A guy asked.

"I have no idea what you are talking about. I've never even come across a prince of darkness." Jared answered. "I've been trying to tell you." He stated. He kept trying to flame out but his magic was being blocked.

"This sigil on the wall blocks your magic. Your not leaving here." The other guy stated. "Now, what do you know about a prince of darkness?" he asked.

Jared looked at the sigil. He recognized it. It was one Teresa had many years ago to block unwanted powers. "Nothing," He answered. "I know nothing," He added.

Jared looked up to the ceiling as he heard chanting in his head, "Powers of the witches rise course unseen across the skies. He recognized three of the voices but the fourth voice he had no clue who it was. "Come to us who call you near. Come to us and settle here." The voices were chanting really fast but he still knew who they were. The Charmed Ones were trying to summon him. The ground began to shake violently as bright white lights surrounded him but disappeared almost instantly leaving him there as the sigil on the wall glowed a very bright light as it blocked the magic.

Jared began to think to himself, if that sigil blocked even the Charmed Ones. Then no doubt it blocked the power of his son. He was trapped there until someone came to rescue him.

"What happened?" One of the men asked. "Tell me!" He ordered and tazed Jared with a tazor

~PO4~

Halliwell Manor

Prue, Phoebe and Paige stormed into the attic while carrying Piper. Paige holding one end and Phoebe on the other side and Prue was behind making sure she wasn't dropped. "Hurry, he's coming!" Paige yelled.

They took her across the room and put her down, "Come on, Honey, we need you, Piper." Phoebe pleaded,

"You can do it, Piper," Prue stated as she tried to shake her sister awake.

"Do what?" Paige asked. "We have no powers." She reminded them.

"It doesn't matter," Phoebe replied. "We can still make the plan work." She added.

"Go get the crystals." Prue stated. "This is the Source I hope it electrocutes him like it did Mikey last year." She added.

Paige stopped in her tracks. "What?" She asked a little curious.

"Just get the crystals." Phoebe ordered lightly.

Michael and Rosaline flame in at that moment, "he's coming," Michael stated as he got up. He was in a lot of pain from the fireball.

Paige stopped in her tracks once again as the Source flamed in right in front of her, "Seems almost anti-climatic after all this time, doesn't it?" he asked her and threw her across the room with his own power. She landed hard on a mattress.

"Paige!" Phoebe yelled and ran to her. The Source none too caring about her at the moment.

"Hey!" Rosaline said as she got his attention. "Have you ever been in ice?" she asked as she threw both hands out and shot a stream of ice his way.

The Source just laughed as he was unaffected by her magic. "Stupid girl." He stated and threw her across the room as he did Paige. "I'm immune to most magic." He sneered as he formed a fireball and aimed it at her.

"Rosaline!" Michael yelled. "Alright, you wannabe bastard." Michael said and formed his own energy ball. "Bring it on." He stated and threw it. It barely affected the Source. "Oh," He muttered as it vanished in front of the Source.

"Foolish boy." The Source stated. "Your magic isn't strong enough to harm me. Not unless you let your inner darkness out." He stated cryptically.

"Wait a minute." Michael stated as he thought back to last week. The potion. The potion that was thrown at him to release his inner darkness. "You," he said at a loss for words. "You were responsible for the whole thing last week. Only to get a potion thrown at me?" He asked.

"To bring you back to my side." The Source said and threw out his hand and used Piper's power and Michael went soaring backwards as flames hit his chest towards Prue and Piper. He formed a larger fireball and aimed it at the sisters and Michael, "Say hello to Teresa for me." He taunted and then turned to look Prue dead in the eye, "Say hello to Patty and Penny for me." He stated.

Prue, at this point had enough and narrowed her eyes, The Source went flying backwards as she used her power from her eyes and he was taken completely off guard.

At this point while the source was on the ground Phoebe and Paige decided to lay out the crystals. "Phoebe!" Paige called and threw her a few crystals.

Phoebe put one of the floor and looked up as the Source used his magic to stand up, he leered down to her, "Your power was always the weakest. Hardly worth taking. Your life how ever. Is!" He yelled and

"Paige now!" Phoebe yelled as she put the second crystal on the floor.

Paige put the crystal on the floor and the cage surrounds the Source he was trapped.

Rosaline made her way over to Michael and the remaining sisters as Phoebe and Paige joined them.

The Source looked at them with wide eyes, "Crystal," He called and one orbed into his hand and the trap goes down. "Now the moment we've all been waiting for." He stated as he formed another large fireball and threw it. Cole shimmered in at that moment and ran in front of Phoebe to take the fireball, just like in her vision, however when it hit him it didn't adffect him at all. "Belthazor!" the Source yelled in rage and anger.

"No," Phoebe stated. "The Hollow." She clarified.

The Sources eyes went wide as he processed the scene and Cole formed a fireball and threw it at the Source "Hurry the spell!" Cole ordered.

Phoebe got out a piece of paper from her pocket and Michael pulled one out of his back pocket while Prue got hers out of her pocket.

"Patricia, Penelope, Brianna, Melinda," Piper and Prue read together.

"Scarlet, Maria, Teresa, Pearl," Michael chanted and then put the spell back into his pocket.

"Astrid, Helena, Laura and grace." Phoebe and Paige chanted together.

The four sisters all joined together to read the final part of the spell.

"Halliwell and Gonzalez witches stand strong beside us,

Vanquish this evil, from time and space."

The sisters chanted together in perfect unison.

The Source began to yell as he caught fire "No!" He screamed as he exploded sending a ripple through the air.

The Seer appeared with the Hollow box, "Who are you?" Prue asked as she looked at the lady with a frown.

The Seer looked at her with an evil smile, "Someone who just helped save your lives," She stated cryptically and opened the box and the Hollow was forced out of Cole and back inside the box. "Quickly, take my hand," She stated to Prue or Phoebe.

Cole nodded, "trust her. If you want your powers back." He stated.

Phoebe went over to her, "Say the inscription with me," The Seer ordered. They both said the inscription and the box levitated in mid air and let off a bright light. Everyone had to cover there eyes as it was that bright. The box disappeared moments later and returned to its crypt.

Phoebe and Paige ran down to the living room. "Hey, wait for us," Michael stated as Rosaline helped him up and Prue got Piper to her feet as well and they followed after.

Paige and Phoebe ran to the couch where Leo was, and Zeke watched him. Paige geld her hands over him, "I can't do it. Nothing is happening," She stated and turned to Phoebe.

"Hold his hand," Phoebe suggested. "Let his power to heal flow through you." She ordered and Paige grabbed his hand.

As there hands touched Paige closed her eyes and concentrated and healed Leo. "Paige, Phoebe." He stated.

"I did it," Paige cheered. "It worked." She added.

Michael, Rosaline, Prue, Piper, Cole and the Seer walked in, "Leo," Piper said and ran over to him.

"All is as it should be again." The Seer announced. "Time to return to my side. Too bad Belthazor's gone, he would have made a great new Source." She stated and looked at Cole.

"Too bad," Cole stated.

"I guess that mean's I'm officially in charge huh?" Michael asked as a joke.

"Yes." The Seer said. "Always, a pleasure, my liege." She stated and bowed her head.

"I don't know who you are, but whoever you are, we thank you," Phoebe said to the Seer.

The Seer looked at her, "Oh. I didn't do this for your future." She clarified. "I did it for mine." She added.

"I don't understand." Paige said. "If we got our powers back. Where did the Sources go?" She asked.

"Into the void," The Seer answered cryptically and flashed out.

"Who was that?" Prue asked. She wanted to know who helped save there lives.

"A very evil person," Cole stated.

"Yeah, One that saved our lives and helped us kill the Source." Phoebe added.

Prue turned to Michael and Piper, "Are you two, okay?" She asked. As they were still cut up.

"Yeah, Prue." Michael stated. "I am fine." He said.

"I got her," Leo said and went over and held his hands over Piper and she was healed.

~PO4~

P3

Leo waited on an order from the bartender, who handed him a plate of snacks. "Here you go, enjoy." The bartender said.

Leo took it over to the four sisters who were giggling about something. He put the tray of snacks on the table. "Here you go guy." He stated "On the house.

"Oh, easy for you to say," Piper muttered with a smirk.

Andy smiled at the scene, "This is a reason to celebrate," He stated as he had a beer in his hand and an arm around Prue.

"Yeah, I still cant believe it." Leo stated. "you guys actually vanquished the Source." He added.

Prue nodded her head in agreement, "With Mikey's help." She stated and looked around. "Where is he? I thought he was coming tonight." She stated.

Paige looked at her, "He said he wanted to spend time with Zeke and Rosaline. Something about friend's night." She stated and turned back to Leo. "So, what does this mean? Is our destiny fulfilled?" She asked.

"I don't know. But at least that part of the nightmares over." Piper stated as she grabbed a glass from the table.

Phoebe picked up a glass herself, "For mom and Grams." She stated. "They'd be so proud of us." She said and held her glass up. And they four sisters clinked there bottles along with Andy and Leo. "For Grams and Patty," Leo and Andy stated.

Leo turned to Piper, "What do you say we go home and get started on our future?" He asked her.

"What do you say we go home and sleep, then we work on that future tomorrow night?" She asked as they left the area they were in.

Prue, Andy, Phoebe and Paige laughed as Cole walked over to them. "Hi, honey, are you okay?" Phoebe asked him.

"yeah. Why?" Cole asked.

"Well, it just took you a little while to get back." She stated.

"It did?" he asked.

"Mhmm." Came Phoebe's reply.

Paige took a look at her two remaining sisters, "You know," She began, "Facing death has kinda made me wanna face life and I'll tell you what, there's a piece of life over there that I think I wanna talk too." She stated and the sisters look to where she was pointing and saw a guy smiling at her.

"Oh. He's cute," Prue stated "Go ahead." She gave Paige her approval.

"Go get him, girl," Phoebe quipped and Paige went over to the guy. Phoebe turned back to Cole, "You sure your okay?" She asked.

"Yeah." He replied. "I'm just a little tired." He argued.

"Too tired to celebrate?" She asked. "Youa re my soon to be husband, and your also my hero." She stated and hugged him.

"Oh. I am nobody's hero." He stated as fire appeared in his eyes and then turned completely black.

Halliwell Manor

Michael had looked in the book for anything that could help him. He was in his room with the book on the desk that was in there. He hadn't found anything to help him. "Dammit," He cursed and slammed the book shut. He yelled to the sky in Spanish saying all kinds of curse words. He sat down in defeat on the couch. Hands on his head. He had an idea, he closed his eyes and concentrated on his father. His jaw hit his chest and he flipped over on the bed.

Wherever Jared is…

Michael appeared in a flash of white inside a strange area. "Dad," He whispered. He didn't want to be caught. He walked into another room of the huge building and saw what he was looking for. His father chained to a wall with his hands above him. "Dad?" he asked.

Jared had been drugged and half asleep, "Mikey," he called out. "You have to get out of here. These beings, are crazy. Keep asking me about a Prince of Darkness." He explained. "you have got to leave before they find a way to block your magic as well." He added.

"Block?" he asked in confusion. Jared gestured his head towards the sigil on the wall and Michael looked at it. "What is that?" he asked himself. It looked like the triquetra, but instead of loops. It had pointy edges. And a square in the middle. He turned back to his father, "I will find a way to rescue you dad. I promise," he stated.

"Who's in there?" A voice asked.

"Mikey, go." Jared ordered. "Now." He demanded.

Michael turned towards the door and then back to his father, "I will be back to rescue you. If I have too I will bring the Charmed Ones. And have the Power of Four to back me up." He stated before disappearing out of the area in white rather than pink and red.

Jared began to think for a moment, Power of Four? He asked himself. That's when he put the pieces together in his head about who the voice of the fourth woman belonged too. "There's another," he stated to himself.

Halliwell Manor

Michael had retreated to his own body after what had happened. "What just happened?" He asked himself out loud.

"What do you mean, honey?" Rosaline asked as she sat up on the bed in her own night gown. "What happened?" She asked him.

"I saw my father." He stated. "It was like an astral projection. But different." He stated. "He was chained to the ceiling with a weird symbol on the wall." He stated.

Rosaline rubbed her eyes, "I'm glad you found him. But we can ask Leo about it tomorrow." She stated and rolled over and closed her eyes again.

"Right." Michael stated as he saw Zeke lying on the floor on the bed room. Compeltley asleep.

Michael closed his eyes and tried to sleep. He was still bruised and cut up from the attack with the Source that night. He tossed and turned for five minutes and he opened his eyes. They were completely black. As the wounds on his body glowed an orange glow and healed completely. The black in his eyes indicating the darkness has began to take over.

A/N: Okay guys, Thank you so much for sticking with me through this story. It is slowly gaining more reviews which inspire me to keep going. The next episode…I cant promise when that will be posted as its not even started yet. But, I will get started on it after I post this one.

A few things I would like to point out. This season is being very boring in my opinion. I never really liked season 4 of Charmed (Mostly because Prue wasn't in it to start with and I thought Piper and Phoebe's treatment of Paige in the beginning was chaos.) And I just didn't like it. I tried to stick to as much of the original as possible. And eliminated the episodes I couldn't stand.
