A/N: Woo-hoo! Chapter 5 waits…
"What do you mean 'you don't know'??" Piper demanded.
"I mean exactly what I said. I don't know," Cole answered.
"Oh, that's great. How can you not know what a demon is?"
"Well…it's probably a younger demon. That would explain why I don't know what he is."
"But is it, like, a type of demon, or just one upper-level?" Phoebe asked.
"I don't know…but if it was an upper-level demon, my energy ball wouldn't have killed it."
"But you don't really know what your new powers are capable of. After all, you did just get them," Piper said.
"What if it is part of one type of demon?" Paige asked, "We could be up against, like, 150 demons without even knowing it."
"Paige is right," Piper agreed, "But we also could be blowing one demon attack way out of proportion. If a demon like that attacks again, we can start being worried. But for now, let's just see what happens."
"Look out! Watch that energy ball!" Piper yelled, dodging an energy ball meant to hit her in the head.
Cole formed his own, and threw it at the demon attacking them. It was vanquished.
"Okay, two attacks in one day is not just a coincidence," Phoebe said, getting out from behind the couch.
"You're right," he agreed, "There's something else going on."
"So what are we supposed to do?" Piper wondered, "We have no idea what type of demons they are."
And then a dozen more demons shimmered in, forming a circle around Piper, Paige, Phoebe, and Cole.
"Oh great," Piper said.
One of the demons formed an energy ball, and threw it at Phoebe. Cole waved an arm, intending on raising a force field around her, but instead, an energy ball formed in his outstretched hand.
"What the…?" he whispered.
Phoebe dove out of the way, and Cole threw the ball of energy at the demon, vanquishing him.
And then Piper froze the rest of the demons, "Okay. What are we supposed to do?"
"I don't know," Paige responded.
"There's only one thing to do," Cole told them, "Stand and fight."
"Are you sure?"
"What else can we do?"
Piper took a deep breath, and unfroze the demons. And then they fought.
One of the demons formed an energy ball, and threw it at Cole, who was able to dodge it. He went to form is own, but a force field rose around him instead.
The demon shot another energy ball, which bounced off the force field and hit the wall. Cole tried to shimmer behind the demon, but an energy ball formed in his hand.
"Well, that works." And he threw it at the demon, instantly vanquishing it.
And the remaining six demons shimmered away.
"What's wrong?" Phoebe asked Cole. They were sitting in the foyer.
"I don't know," he answered truthfully, "Earlier…when the demons attacked… my powers were acting all…weird. When I tried to use one power, I got another."
"Has that ever happened before?" Phoebe wondered.
"No. Never mind….It's probably nothing."
"Okay."
And then four demons shimmered in. The couple stood, and Phoebe called, "Piper! Paige! Get in here!!"
Great. Perfect. Four demons just shimmered in, and he had no idea what the hell was up with his powers. He tried to form an energy ball, but he shimmered to the other side of Phoebe instead. Shit.
Two demons tackled him to the ground, and then they shimmered.
"Get the hell off me!" Cole yelled, tossing them off.
They were in a dark, gloomy cavern of the Underworld. He got up quickly, looking around. There were a bunch of podiums, each holding a vial full of different colored liquids. Bur one stood out. It was in the middle of the room and standing taller than all the others.
"Where am I?"
The two demons stood, "In our little museum. It's quite nice, don't you think?"
"Museum?" Cole asked, disgusted, "Why did you bring me here?"
"We were after the Charmed Ones, but the Mighty Belthazor…" one of them said, "We couldn't let this opportunity pass us by."
"Belthazor is dead."
"No he isn't. Both parts of him are in this room."
And the demon formed an energy ball, "Or, for now anyways."
And then he threw it at Cole, who was able to dodge it. The other demon shimmered behind, him, and got him in an arm lock. The first demon walked over, and conjured an athame. It shot the knife forward, and pierced through Cole's side.
And he fell to his knees.
"Good-bye, Belthazor," the second demon said, forming an energy ball.
He was doomed. How could he get away from two demons? His powers weren't acting right, and he was hurt.
The demon started to throw the energy ball. Cole knew he needed to shimmer, or he was dead. Well, he was probably dead anyway.
He gathered all of his strength, and begged the Fates and the Elders and whoever else was watching 'up there' that his powers would work right…
