Hello, readers. To compensate from not posting for a long time, I wrote this chapter as fast as I could, and I'll try to do same with the next ones. Hope you like it (:

Hell Takes Heaven
"The room was filled with a strong light and then The Source appeared.
-I'm back. –He said."
Paige woke up in her bed, shaking; it was raining heavily outside and she got up to close the window. She stared outside for a second, and then sat down, with a worried look on her face.
…
One week later…
Phoebe was in the manor, sitting at the table and writing something in her computer:
"Dear diary, things have not gone the way we expected to. We got Jake back, but he's in some kind of coma, and we lost Billie; I don't know how, but they turned her into a guardian for The Source, who is now back to life. He hasn't attacked us, yet, but I think that's why we should be worried, he must be plotting something big. I should be helping my sisters right now, not writing, but Coop said I should do it, I was under a lot of stress and he said it could harm our baby. Now I must go, I'll probably come back later."
Phoebe closed her computer and got up; as soon as she did so, Cole flamed in.
-Got it! –He said showing her a potion.
-Do you think this one is gonna work?
-Well, I hope so.
They gave Jake the potion and waited, after a few minutes, he woke up.
-What happened? –He asked opening his eyes. –Where am I?
-It worked! –Phoebe exclaimed. –Jake, are you ok?
-Phoebe? What's going on? I thought I was in the Underworld.
-You were, but she rescued you. –Cole said.
-Really? Thank you.
-You're welcome. Now you need to rest, but before we need to discuss a few things with you.
-Like the fact that you're from the future. –Cole said.
-Yeah, I can't talk about that. –He said.
-I know, but I need to know when are you from? –Phoebe asked.
-I'm from 10 years from now. But I've travelled a lot.
-What do you mean by that? –Cole asked.
-I can't say much, but I'm some kind of agent of the government; I travel through time and fix some things.
-So I was one of your missions? –The demon asked.
-No, I asked to come here.
-Ok, there's just one more thing I need to ask you about… -Phoebe was interrupted by an explosion in the kitchen. –Cole! Hide Jake! –She shouted running to the other room.
-She got there and found Zankou attacking Piper and Paige.
-Hey you! –Phoebe shouted while levitating and kicking him.
Zankou fell, but sent a fireball at Phoebe; she reflected it with her empathy and it hit a wall. Piper waved her hands and melted the floor under Zankou, trapping him for a second, while Paige tried to crush him with her orbs. He flamed to the living room, escaping from them. The sisters ran after him and he waved his hand, knocking them all down, then, he grabbed Piper and tried to flame away, but Paige orbed her away from his grip before he could take her.
-Thanks. –Piper said and Paige nodded her head.
-What do you think he wanted? To kill us? Because I think The Source could have done that himself. –Phoebe said.
-I think he just wanted to take us there, and he almost succeeded. –Piper said.
-We need a plan, fast. –Paige said.
-And I think I have one. –Phoebe said. –We need to make a spell, a spell strong enough to strip some of the power from The Source away, and then we'll be able to vanquish him.
-But we need to get his guardians first. –Paige said.
-Don't worry, they'll come after us. –Piper said.
…
Later, Prue and Phoebe were working on the spell, while Piper talked to Paige.
-You know, I've been having some strange dreams lately. –Piper lied.
-Dreams about what? –The younger sister asked.
-About you. Paige, I'm worried that the time you spent working for the Triad…
-Piper! I'm fine. –Paige said angrily. –I'm just the same, old, me, ok?
-If you would just let me do a spell to check it…
-I'm sorry, but no. You need to trust me, I'm fine.
-Ok. –Piper sounded worried. –But if you feel anything, tell me.
-Fine. –Paige said.
-We're done here! –Phoebe shouted while holding a potion.
-What about the spell? –Piper asked.
-We thought a potion would be better and more useful. –Prue said. –But we only get one chance because we won't be able to do another potion.
-Ok, what now? –Paige asked.
-Now we wait. –Prue answered.
…
Phoebe went downstairs and found Jake awake.
-Hey. –He said.
-Hi. Listen, I don't know how much time we've got, but I need you to tell me something. I need to know about my daughter's future.
-What about it?
-Well, I received a premonition about her, and it was something big.
-I don't know anything about it.
-Really? But what about the seer that went after me and Prue? And the prophecy?
-I've never heard about any of it. I'm sure your daughter just lived a normal life, or at least as normal as the life of a charmed one's daughter can be. –He smiled.
Phoebe sighed in relief.
-I guess Cole and Coop were right, then. –She said. –Thanks Jake. –She added and went downstairs.
As soon as she left, Cole came into the room.
-You shouldn't lie to her like that. –He said.
-I had to; it was the best way to protect her.
-The best, or the easiest way? –Cole questioned.
-Both, I guess. –Jake answered, but sounded guilty. –You know I couldn't tell her anything.
…
More time passed before the attack finally came. The four sisters were waiting, ready, but instead of the Source, Zankou, Billie, and Christy appeared in the living room, with a small army of demons.
-Attack! –Christy shouted and the battle started.
Piper blew up some demons while Prue attacked others until they reached Zankou.
-I was waiting for you. –he said and then sent a fireball, which Piper blew up.
Prue astral projected behind him and tried to attack, but he evaded and knocked her down. Piper froze some demons and Prue sent them over Zankou, but he vanquished them. They kept fighting for some minutes, fire, demons and explosions filling the room, until they hid behind the couch.
-Let's use the potion. –Prue said.
-We can't. We need to save it for The Source.
-We might never even be able to face him if we don't leave here.
-Alright. –Piper said and grabbed the potion; she threw it at Zankou, but he destroyed it before it could hit him.
-No! –Prue shouted.
-I love to see your plans fail. –He said laughing and then waved his hand, sending a fire wave across the room. The sisters protected themselves, but they had no longer a place to hide.
-Wait, I've got an idea. –Piper said. –Something we've never tried. –She quickly told Prue her plan and the older sister agreed.
-It's worth the shot. –She said.
She waved her hands and blew up all the demons around Zankou, and then Prue redirected the energy of the explosions toward him, in a wave. Just as he realized what was happening, he was hit and vanquished.
…
Phoebe and Paige were fighting against Billie and Christy; every fireball Christy would send, Paige would redirect, and every time Phoebe tried to attack, Billie would send her away.
-This isn't going anywhere! –Phoebe shouted.
-Please stop, Billie! You were on our side. –Paige said.
-You said it right, I was. –Billie said emphasizing the last word and attacked.
Phoebe used her empathy and redirected Billie's attack, hitting Paige, by accident.
-No! –She shouted.
-I don't need to do anything; you end up hitting each other by yourselves. –Christy said laughing.
-Oh you! –Phoebe said and sent an empathic ball at Christy, but she used her telepathy to protect herself.
Billie sent Phoebe into a wall, while Christy attacked Paige, but when Paige reflected the attack, Christy flamed, and switched places with Billie.
Billie fell on the floor, with her body burned from the attack.
-Billie! –Paige and Phoebe ran to her.
-That's for killing me. –Christy said and flamed away.
-I can't believe she did it! Your own sister. –Phoebe said.
-I deserved it. –Billie said weakly. –I betrayed her before, and now I betrayed you.
-No, it's ok, we'll save you. You were being controlled.
Paige put her hands over Billie's body, but she couldn't heal her.
-Why isn't it working? –Phoebe asked.
-I'm getting weaker. I wasted too much energy in the fight.
-Oh, come on, orb her to the Elders! We need to do something! –Phoebe said alarmed.
-No! We can't go up there. We… We were just a distraction. –Billie said with effort. –He's got a bigger plan, he'll absorb the power from the Elders too, he's probably there now, and if we go, he'll get you.
-I don't care, we have to save you! –Phoebe insisted.
-Please, don't. –Billie begged.
-Billie, how can he go up there?
-That's why the Triad wanted you, you would take him there, but he got me and made me find him another whitelighter. –Billie said. –He's already got the power from many demons, including from the Triad, and now he'll get from the angels too. You need to stop him. –She said with her final breath, and closed her eyes.
-Billie! Billie! –Phoebe and Paige cried.
…
In the Heavens, The Source appeared with Christy in a room filled with a blue energy.
-We're here. –He said.
-Hey! Stop! –Some whitelighters shouted while running toward them. Christy just waved her hand and vanquished them.
The Source laughed and raised his hand; all the blue energy flew to him and his eyes shone for a second. Then, he waved his hands and all the whitelighter and elders started to be orbed away.
Back in the manor, the sisters watched as the whitelighters appeared all around the place, almost powerless.
