Chapter 3 The Dream

When Leo regained himself he rushed over to the fallen forms of his sons, looking over them quickly. "Paige! Get over here quick and heal them!" he cried out to his sister-in-law. Never in his life did he think he would regret not being a whitelighter anymore then as much as he did right now.

Paige rushed over quickly, kneeling down next to the two men, hands reaching out and healing them in a soft golden glow. The cuts, bruises, and burnt skin faded away till their skin was whole. Only the dirt and blood caked upon their bodies and clothes showed there had been something wrong. Paige sighed and pulled her hands away. "That's it. They're all healed."

Piper knelt next to her sons and touched their hair. "Shouldn't they be waking up then?"

Leo shook his head. "That was a lot of magic that was released and judging from the state they were in they were already at their limit. My guess is they used too much magic and now they need to sleep to regain it." He put his hand on Piper's shoulder, looking at her gently. "They will wake up. Just give them time."

Piper sighed and nodded, raising her eyes in search of Paige. "Paige. Can you orb them up to mine and Leo's room? They will be more comfortable up there."

Paige nodded and disappeared in white-blue orbs, taking the forms of Wyatt and Chris with her.

Piper stood up and looked around at everyone. "Leo and I will go keep an eye on them." She glanced around at the devastation. "Please get everyone to clean this mess up." Piper said as she looked over at Phoebe.

Phoebe nodded and watched as Piper and Leo walked up the steps. Phoebe looked around at everyone, feeling the somber mood falling upon them. Phoebe shook her head and clapped her hands. "Ok everyone! I know this is a big shock but there is nothing we can do for now. Let's just focus on getting the rooms picked up. I want the younger children to go up to the play room and keep yourselves busy. I don't want you around glass," Phoebe said as she looked at the younger children.

Paige, who had just orbed back in, nodded in agreement and took Penelope and Henry upstairs amid their protests on wanting to help.

Phoebe looked back at the other kids and adults. "As for the older ones, please start cleaning and watch out for the sharp objects. I don't want you getting injured. If you do get injured please get yourselves healed right away."

Everyone nodded and started cleaning up the broken wood and sweeping up the glass.

====Upstairs====

Leo and Piper sat next to the bed, just gazing at their future sons.

Piper sighed. "What do you think happened, Leo? Why would they come back? Why were they injured so badly?"

Leo shook his head. "I don't know, Piper. It's just a sitting and waiting game now. Till they wake up we won't know what's happened."

Piper looked sadly at her sons and ran her fingers through Chris's hair. "My poor boys."

====Dreamscape====

Chris groaned and sat up, rubbing his head. "Did someone get the number of that demon?"

Wyatt laughed and walked up to Chris and helped his brother up. "Not demon, my brother. Angel. You're looking for the number of the Angel that ran you over."

Chris laughed, feeling much better than he had in days. "I can't even remember the last time I laughed." Chris looked around curiously. "Right, so where are we?"

"You are in the land of misfit toys," a voice said behind them.

Chris and Wyatt spun around in surprise before what was said caught up to their brains.

"Uh, wait, land of misfit toys?" Chris questioned the foggy figure.

Wyatt looked at the figure, confused.

The figure laughed and appeared fully for the two men. "Yeah, I figured it sounded cooler than 'in your dreams.'"

Chris's eyes lit up in happiness. "Uncle Cole!" Chris ran forward and hugged his favorite uncle.

Wyatt smiled and rushed forward to hug his uncle as well.

Cole laughed and hugged them both and pulled back to look at the two men before him. "Good to see you both looking so well. We were all scared there for awhile."

Wyatt raised an eyebrow at his uncle. "I think Sky and Ben have humanized you, Uncle Cole. Really, quoting a Christmas movie?"

Cole smirked and ruffled his nephew's hair. "What can I say? I enjoy Christmas movies."

Chris looked at his uncle. "What happened, Uncle Cole? Why are we unconscious? I mean I'm assuming we're unconscious since you just said we are in our dreams."

Cole sighed and made three chairs appear with a wave of his hand and sat down. He gestured for the two men to sit down as well. "It's like this, boys, when the Angel of Destiny sent you back in time he used his power, the power of the fates, and your power. Unfortunately right after he sent you back, the world . . . the world was destroyed."

Wyatt and Chris gasped in surprise, eyes widening.

Wyatt looked at his Uncle, "Destroyed?"

Cole nodded sadly. "Yes. The humans destroyed the world in a last ditch attempt to rid the world of the magical infestation. Truthfully I think that they finally lost what little sanity they had left. That or they just believed they would rather be destroyed instead of living with magical people." Cole shook his head, not believing the mortals even after watching it himself. "That's why the Angel of Destiny came to you. He needed to get you out of there at that moment or else all would have been lost. With the destruction of the world you came from, the magic became unstable as the originators and its original source of power was gone. The magic was able to deliver you into the past but you were in pretty bad shape and it used up more of your own magic than it was supposed to, to compensate its loss from your original world. That's why you're unconscious now. You're in a healing sleep. But that is neither here nor there. What matters is the now."

Wyatt snorted and smirked at his uncle. "So much for healing sleep, you're here."

Cole smacked Wyatt upside his head. "Smart-ass, you've been hanging around Ben too much."

Wyatt smirked at Cole and rubbed his head.

Chris looked confused. "Now?" Chris said, bringing Cole back to his last sentence.

Cole nodded and sat up straight. "Yes, now. You both are currently in the past. In fact, it is now a different time stream all together."

Wyatt looked confused. "Different time stream?"

Cole nodded again. "Yes. Meaning this is your home now. You can't return to the future. Even if you change things, that's not your future anymore. Think of it as an alternate timeline."

Wyatt nodded, sort of understanding what he was talking about.

Chris looked at Cole. "What do we have to do now?"

Cole's face morphed into a serious look. "You must stop magic from being exposed. You have arrived in 2019. This year, the Halliwells fight a demon and magic gets exposed to the world. You must help them fight this demon but stop the magic being exposed in the process."

Chris nodded, remembering this year well.

Wyatt eyes scrunched in concentration. "That was a pretty tough demon. It took our parents everything they had. They almost died as well. Do you think we can do it?"

Cole smiled and laid a hand on Wyatt's shoulder. "I have the utmost faith in your and Chris's abilities. You have a lot more experience this time around. Plus you can get us Turners to help you. Something the Halliwells didn't have the first time around." Cole grinned and slapped Wyatt's back happily.

Chris looked confused. "But in this time you guys hate the Halliwells."

Cole sighed and nodded. "Yes but remember I don't hate you two, especially not Chris." Cole smiled fondly Chris. "After our meeting in limbo and watching the other you help the Halliwells, it made me very fond of you. When you seek us out, just explain everything. We WILL help you. No one knows us better than I do." Cole grinned. "Besides, you guys were close to all of us. You should be able to tell us things that would prove who you are."

Chris nodded and smiled at Cole. "I'm glad. I would hate to stay away from you guys." Chris's eyes suddenly turned sad and he glanced up at Cole. "Uncle Cole?"

Cole looked at Chris in interest at his sudden change in mood. "Hmm?"

Chris glanced around, unsure how to ask this. "How…" Chris's throat choked up. "How's Ben?"

Wyatt stiffened next to Chris and looked up at Cole.

Cole sighed sadly. "He's doing alright. He is currently with his wife and kids. He's really sorry he died when you still needed him."

Wyatt jumped up in anger. "What?! He didn't just go DIE on purpose! He died saving us!" Wyatt's hands curled into fists to stop them from shaking. "He gave up his life for us! We should have died! It would have been better if he had just let us die!"

Cole stood up quickly and put his hands on Wyatt's shoulders, forcing him to look at him. "Don't you ever say that! Don't ever put Ben's sacrifice down like that! Yes you were in the position to die but it was never your time! Neither was it Ben's, but he couldn't have gone back in time. This mission is for you two." Cole sighed and relaxed his grip. "Wyatt, you and Chris were meant to live. You're meant to change the world. If you succeed in changing the past, Ben will need you both more than ever later."

Chris looked at Cole. "What do you mean?"

Cole looked back at Chris and had them sit down again, sitting himself down as well. "Everyone has a destiny they are born for, Chris. Ben is no different. I can't tell you what will happen but I can tell you will be needed."

Wyatt looked at Cole. "What is our destiny now? I mean I can't be King Arthur anymore and Chris can't be Merlin."

Chris looked at Cole, curious as well.

Cole shook his head. "No you can't. Those positions are for the present Wyatt and Chris. No, the Angel of Destiny has gifted you two new destinies like his future self had wanted."

Chris and Wyatt leaned forward, curious what they were now.

"You two still retain your powers but you are gifted with new positions and new weapons," Cole stated to the two men. "You are being gifted with the destiny of being Knights of the Round Table. There are no better people to protect the king and his wizard."

Chris and Wyatt sat back in shock. They had not been expecting that.

Wyatt shook his head. "But I never had knights! How come he is getting knights but I didn't?"

Cole sighed. "Because there was never anyone else loyal enough and male to become your knight. Though I don't think male should be criteria to be a knight. I've known enough women that can kick a bit of ass." Cole smirks at them. "There was a chance that Ben could have become one, but he has a different destiny that prevents that."

Wyatt nodded. "I guess that makes sense. So we are to protect this Wyatt and Chris? Do we have to always be around them?"

Cole shook his head. "No. You might be knights but he isn't Arthur yet so you need not obey him just yet. I mean you can watch out for him and the younger Chris but it won't be that much of an issue just yet. You will have enough trouble figuring things out and changing the future without worrying about watching a couple of brats all the time."

Wyatt and Chris's heads snapped up and both shouted, "Hey!"

Cole laughed. "I'm kidding! Well, not really. You're both still brats to me. Anyway, with this new position come some new weapons!"

Chris and Wyatt scooted forward, interested in what their new weapons would be.

Cole smiled and held his arms out. A white glow appeared and a dagger formed in his hands. "To Chris, you get Carnwennan, also known as White Hilt. This was a favorite weapon of King Arthur. To this date, no one else has been allowed to use it. Most would think that means Wyatt should get it because he was once Arthur, but you Chris can use its magic and its shadow abilities much better then Wyatt, no offense."

Wyatt waved his hand dismissively. He was just glad his brother was getting such a special weapon.

Cole frowned and looked at Chris. "Now Chris, as a previous Merlin the fates are giving you another weapon. They weren't sure if they should give this to you, Chris. Not because they don't trust you, but it's a lot to give to a human."

A glow shone from above Cole's hand before disappearing, leaving behind a polearm.

"This, Chris, is Gungnir. It is said it was a magical spear wielded by Odin himself. Of course, humans only know what we let them think. Like the Greek gods that were once mortals, so were the Norse gods. When their power was taken from them, so were their weapons. This one was chosen because of its powers. It is perfectly balanced and can be used by anyone of any skill. It attaches itself to its wielder and can be called to your hand and sent away as well. Both Gungnir and Carnwennan are powerful weapons and they are putting their trust in you to protect them and use them wisely." Cole handed over the spear and dagger to Chris.

Chris took them gently, in awe at the beautiful and powerful weapons. He looked them over, wanting to commit their looks to memory. The white metal shining, with white animal hide bound around the hilt and the King Arthur crest imbedded in the bottom of the hilt. Chris frowned and looked up at Cole. "What is the hide from?"

Cole smiled. "It was taken from a magical stag that had gifted it to the creation of the weapon. Stags are known for their ability to never be caught, so in essence they practically disappear. That ability was gifted to the weapon. You can shroud yourself in darkness and hide from or sneak upon enemies."

Chris nodded and set the dagger aside to study his spear. It was a true masterpiece, a work of art unparallel to anything he had ever seen. It was about the same height as his staff, ending at his head. It was made from a white-golden metal he didn't recognize, ending with a large point and two smaller points turning inward towards the middle spear. Runes surrounded the spearhead and raced down the length of the spear, ending at the bottom. It was beautiful. Chris ran his hands along the spear in awe.

Cole coughed, trying to get Chris's attention.

Chris jumped and looked sheepish. "Sorry. It's just amazing! Tell them thank you." Chris set the spear next to the dagger and gave Cole back his attention.

Cole smiled and nodded. "Well now, let's move on. To Wyatt! Yes Wyatt, you get weapons too," Cole added when he saw Wyatt's look. Cole held his arms out and a glow appeared, bringing with it a spear.

Wyatt raised an eyebrow. "I get a spear too?"

Cole nodded and handed over the weapon. "Like Chris, you're getting one of Arthur's other favorite weapons. This spear is called Rhongomiant, happily nicknamed Ron!" Cole laughed.

Wyatt's head dropped in exasperation. Wyatt took a deep breath and glanced up at Cole. "Ron?"

Cole nodded, smirking. "Oh yes. Ron." Cole leaned back, crossing his legs and folding his arms, quite enjoying himself. "It was a nickname given because some authors couldn't write the name or pronounce it, so it became Ron! Also one of its previous users thought it was more intimate of a name."

Wyatt sighed and nodded. "Ok I get it. You don't have to enjoy yourself so much, you know." Wyatt glared at Cole.

Cole's smirk widened. "But then, where would I get any fun?" Cole coughed and nodded. "Moving on! Ron doesn't really have any special powers, but it does have somewhat of a conscious. It thirsts for blood, so when you use it in battle it will draw the blood of its master's enemies. So be careful with it." Cole add sternly. "Finally! You get a sword because I doubt you could use anything else." Cole smirked at Wyatt when he saw Wyatt's glare. Cole waved his hands and a sword appeared in a bright glow. Cole looked at Wyatt and handed over the sword. "This is Fragarach, or also called the Answerer."

Wyatt marveled over the sword and ran his hands along the blade.

Cole looked at the sword. "It has the special ability to make any one on the end of its blade answer only the truth. Since you were once a king and you have a dangerous task ahead of you, this weapon was thought to be a good choice for you."

Wyatt nodded and looked upon the blade. Its black hilt wound tight with the symbol for the Irish gods placed upon the leather. Its silver blade shone in the dreamscape. Wyatt looked over at the spear with its bright gold staff and silver spearhead. Wyatt looked at Cole and nodded. "Thank you, Uncle, for the weapons and for being here."

Chris nodded, glad he got to see Cole once again.

Cole smiled softly. "Of course, boys. Lots of the family wanted to be the one to come, but they felt I would be able to give you all the information without sugarcoating anything."

Chris and Wyatt snorted thinking of some of their family, mainly their Halliwell side that would sugarcoat things.

Cole stood up, with Wyatt and Chris following his example. Cole smirked at them. "Well, unfortunately that's all the time we have. You'll have to figure out things on your own from now on. While I don't know if the Halliwells can help you much in this time, my other self and the others will definitely be able to. Don't be afraid to seek out their help."

Chris and Wyatt nodded and clung to Cole, afraid they would never see him again.

Cole sighed and hugged them tight. "We all love you both. We have faith you can save the world. Be good to each other and be safe. Good Luck."

Chris and Wyatt pulled away with some reluctance.

Cole smirked to hide his sadness and held out his arms wide. "I can't believe I'm going to say this, but, Blessed be."

With those words, Wyatt and Chris disappeared from the dreamscape.

Cole sighed sadly and turned away, disappearing in a shroud of grey orbs.

====Real World====

Wyatt and Chris awoke with a start and sat up, quickly looking around.

Piper and Leo both fell out of their chairs, startled. Piper recovered first and hugged Chris tightly, followed by Leo hugging Wyatt.

Wyatt and Chris glanced at each other from above their parents' heads, both thinking the same thing: what to tell their past family.

A/N: Now Wyatt and Chris got new destinies and new weapons and you all got to see future Cole! This was a lot of research to give you the correct weapons names and yes those weapons actually exist is lore.

Also I know they may seem a little OOC but I figured this was too important to waste of sarcasm and witty returns from both Chris and Cole. Plus they haven't seen each other in awhile so I believed that would override their general attitude. Don't worry you'll get plenty of the Chris and Cole we love from now on. I just wanted to show you how close they were.
