Chapter 6: Tides Of War

The portal that the thirteen had stepped into opened up and deposited them safely in Valhalla. They were squinting against the harsh sunlight that was beating down on them. Considering most of them were wearing long sleeves they quickly broke out sweating. The thirteen of them cut quite an imposing figure as they walked through the dense jungle vegetation.

The five women were walking in front of the eight men with them they were shocked that they had all let go of their protective issues and let them lead the charge. Truth be told they didn't like it but if they wanted to blend in they had to let them lead them around women ruled over men here which had already sparked one debate between Liz and Wyatt they didn't need another one of those from the two of them.

Speaking of the two of them all the other guys shared a look when they noticed how Wyatt was looking at Liz's ass as she walked. It was almost like he was in a trance as he watched her hips sway back and forth. He looked away quickly when he realized what he was doing he couldn't be having those thoughts about her as he had maintained she was just like another sister to him.

"I swear the minute we finish with this I am so sicking Prue on their asses."Chris thought to his friends who could here him and both his male cousins. Something had to be done about Wyatt and Liz their blindness was starting to affect everyone else.

"Peanut don't even start thinking about things like that until we're done with this I have to be able to focus." Prue replied as they walked along seeing various warriors sharpening blades and training to fight.

Liz and Prue both let their eyes wander to a couple of the warriors that had no shirts on Prue didn't care that Chuck was right behind her they were married she could still look. It was a good thing she couldn't see behind her otherwise she would have seen the way he was glaring at her.

Chuck saw red and he clenched his fists but he reminded himself at the end of the day she was going home with him. He had to shake his head at himself he was getting as bad as Wyatt was with Liz and that wasn't a good thing.

Calleigh heaved a great sigh when she saw that Rain was standing in front of them blocking their path. She would love nothing more than to kill her that was how much she hated her. Calleigh could envision herself choking the life out of the older woman she had been nothing but a pain in her ass for as long as she could remember. "What is it this time Rain ?" she asked trying hard to keep the annoyance out of her voice.

Rain surveyed the group with her blues eyes piercing through them Prue never one to be cowed by anyone stared right back at her. "I was curious what you're doing with all these people that's all. We've all been placed on high alert and I was concerned that maybe they were holding you captive." the valkyrie said in a low sultry tone.

Calleigh rolled her eyes how she hated this bitch there was no way to describe her feelings other than pure hatred. "No they're with me obviously the eight behind us are warriors." she explained her patience wearing thin and it wasn't a complete lie from what she had seen the eight young men behind her were warriors and two of them had valkyrie in them.

Rain then walked over so she could more closely inspect the eight young men she very seductively stood in front of Chuck causing Prue to glare at her again nobody but her got to look at her man like that. She moved on from him she skipped over Roman, Chris, and Henry without another glance. She considered Troy for a moment but then she walked on stopping at Parker she didn't even have to look at Wyatt after that.

She very seductively began to feel up Parker through his shirt Bianca and Lilly had to grab hold of Prue and Liz to keep them from killing her. Parker had a deep blush on his face and a goofy grin that showed off his dimples he was very uncomfortable he was not a winner in the women department. "I think that I will just keep this one for myself." she said winking at him. Parker was sweating and it wasn't from the heat he tugged at the collar of his shirt he sighed. His life had been so much simpler before he had nieces and nephews to drag him down with them.

Bianca almost lost her grip on Prue at the woman's statement but she held on to her tightly "Prue," she warned seeing the look of rage on the younger woman's face. " calm down this isn't worth it." she was looking her dead in the eyes but Prue only glared back at her she was not happy that some bitch had her hands all over Parker and said she wanted him for herself. Didn't all women know there was supposed to be at least twenty-five feet between them and the only Halliwell brother ?

Lilly had no such luck with Liz she opened her mouth and started running it "Well you can't have him he is with us." she said hatefully Rain only scoffed at her.

"I'll think you'll find that I can have just about anything I want and there is nothing you can do about it." Rain said getting up in Liz's face Lilly still had a hold on her and she couldn't really do anything about it.

"Lilly let me go right now or I swear I will find a way to make your life a living hell." Liz threatened one of her best female friends the other one being Prue. But Lilly didn't budge she knew Liz didn't mean half the nice things she said when she got pissed. Besides that she couldn't have Liz killing someone that just wasn't her style she didn't even like killing demons.

"Lizzie let it go we'll take care of it." Lilly assured her roommate not sure why she was so upset about the way Rain was talking to Parker little did she know all the single people in their little group had banded together to form an alliance because all the others neglected them.

Bianca held up a finger and pointed it at Prue "I'm going to let go so I can take care of this behave I mean it." she had to take charge since it seemed like Calleigh had froze up around the valkyrie. Prue went to open her mouth but Bianca shot her a warning look "No Prue just keep your mouth shut for once in your life." surprisingly for a change Prue did as she was told there was something in Bianca's eyes that said don't fuck with me right now.

She strode over to the Rain who still had her eyes locked with Liz's. "I think that if you want him that you're going to have to get through me first because you see that is my warrior." she said a cold steel in her voice.

Rain got within inches of her face Bianca was rather imposing but she didn't back down even though she wanted to she didn't know she was going toe to toe with a trained assassin but she was still scary. Calleigh forgetting her inferiority complex with the older valkyrie for a moment stepped in between the two she didn't know Bianca that well but she knew enough to know she wasn't someone you wanted pissed off with you. "Rain look we really don't have time for this right now we have to get these warriors to my mother and the others. Now if you'll excuse us we have business to take care of. Unless of course you want to explain to my mother why I'm late." She said a look of pure contempt on her face.

Rain stared the younger woman down but in the end she just took a mock bow and said "Well now we wouldn't want you to keep Freyja waiting by all means go on."

Prue, Liz, and Bianca all stared her down as the walked past her they would all like to get their hands on the valkyrie but this wasn't the time for that they had more important things to worry about. The guys could only shake their heads at the girls they were just as bad as they were whether they wanted to admit to it or not. Parker breathed a sigh of relief he was glad all the attention was off him he didn't like people focusing on him it made him nervous.

"You know Calleigh if you want us to we can always beat her ass for you because I would love nothing more than to do just that." Prue commented when they had walked a little ways further in her book Rain had two strikes against her flirting with Chuck and putting her hands on Parker.

Calleigh shook her head there was only one other woman she knew who had a temper as bad as Prue's and that was her Aunt Kara they were two peas in a pod really. "No just forget about her God knows I try to she just has something against the fact that I'm only half valkyrie and therefore I'm somehow letting the side down. That and she knows if anything ever happens to my mom this is all mine to rule." she said brushing off Prue's anger but it was quite amusing to say the least.

"I think that I would like to kick her ass anyway just for the hell of it." Liz said the fire still burning in her eyes she was the one in the group who didn't have much of a temper but when it was aroused it was spectacular . Then she addressed her roommate she could kill Lilly sometimes "Lila I swear to God if you ever stop me like that again you will have to move in with Jake because I will kick you out." she threatened Lilly just rolled her eyes she never took Liz seriously if she did she would have been in a mental institution.

"Lizzie I couldn't let you kill her you would have hated yourself for you in the morning and I can't stand to see you moping around the apartment. I had very selfish reasons for stopping you." Lilly shrugged and gave her an insincere grin.

"Lilly she mopes around the apartment anyway because Lizzie needs to get laid." preferably by Wyatt if they ever come to their senses. Troy thought to himself he was still pushing that matter with his sister.

Prue had heard what he thought and she glared at him hatefully she couldn't focus on their demons when everyone was thinking about how Wyatt and Liz needed to be together it only made the wheels in her head spin and think of a plan to get them together. "Troy shut up and don't be disgusting." she shot at her male best friend she couldn't really stay mad at him but she could try like hell.

"Don't start children we have serious work to do because if things go according to plan those demons should shimmer in here anytime and I don't want to be standing around arguing when they do." Chris huffed it was impossible to get anything done when all they wanted to do was stand around fight and argue all the time.

"I'm telling you guys you are two steps away from experiencing a C. Perry melt down if you don't knock it off today now if you people will please come on now I will be a very happy man." Henry said after he had let out a whistle to get their attention. He had done something in one of his past lives that was horrible and he was being punished for it now in the form of his cousins who knew how to get on his nerves like no other.

Prue still wasn't happy with him or with Chris "Come on guys lets get this done and over with before Chrissy and Henry have a heart attack." she said sarcastically looking back over her shoulder at them.

"Coop do something about you sister because regardless of what my mom and Aunt Piper tried to teach me growing up I will hit a woman if she doesn't stop with me today." Henry warned he loved Prue she was his favorite female cousin out of the oldest five because she was the only female. She was also his second favorite cousin out of the oldest five Chris being his favorite. When they counted all the girls she was his second favorite again Mel being his first and she came in third overall his list reading Chris, Mel, and then Prue. But today he wanted so badly to hit her like he had never wanted to hit anyone before in his life.

"Prue I get it babe really I do you're a super duper bad ass but in a fight I have to put my money on Hank he's bigger than you are. So give it a rest for a while I like having you around." Chuck said and he gulped when she sent him daggers with her eyes he would pay for that later it wasn't smart for him of all people to talk back to his girlfriend. She was capable of making his life very unpleasant and she would not hesitate to do it.

Bianca took a deep breath and sighed there was no reason she could find for one group of people to fight so damn much all the time it got to be a pain in the ass after a while. "Everyone has had a little outburst including me for a change now lets get this over with some of us have things to do later." she said there was a twinge of sadness in her voice after magic had killed her sister it was only right it give her a break to visit her grave for her birthday. But that didn't look like it was happening.

"Sorry B." They all chorused as usual if they were so damn sorry they wouldn't do the same damn thing all the time but pointing that out to them was about as useless as teaching a fish to fly.

"Don't be sorry just come on time is wasting." Bianca couldn't help but smile as she started walking up the path farther leave it to the Halliwells to make her smile when she was pissed with them.

Something about the underworld made it seem more dark and dank than usual today not that it was ever a pleasant place to be but it seemed more ominous for some reason not that anyone could put their finger on what that reason was. The torches that lit the way were burning brightly like they always were providing as much light as a primitive means of lighting could. A calm still hung in the otherwise musty air the underworld was never that quiet unless the demons were planning something and that something was normally how best to take out the Halliwells.

"Oomph," Carly grunted when someone ran into her, she turned around to glare at the offending person. "Val damn it watch where the fuck you're walking I'm not a speed bump for you to slow yourself down with." she hissed at her cousin who was incidently also her best friend but with the mood she was in right now anyone was fair game.

Val rolled her eyes she was going to personally kill Alan when this was over for getting Carly all riled up she was being a bitch on wheels right now and it wasn't helping she had a brother to save. She didn't know why everyone always had to be after Jake she loved her big brother she didn't know what she would do if something happened to him sure she loved Prue and she would be totally lost if it wasn't for their girl talk but she could count on Jake to get her out of a bind without bitching at her the way her older sister would. "Forgive the hell out of me Carly it was an accident it's not like I can see where I'm going here." she pointed out reasonably sure she did stupid things but she was still the reasonable one out of Phoebe's kids.

"None of us can see where we're going but you don't hear us all bitching about it." Billy spoke up in a hushed whisper they didn't need the demons to know they were there it would only make things worse they had to find them first and then take them out.

"Billy it's Carly and Val dude don't even get them started right now we don't need a full blown fight on our hands right now." Ricky whispered harshly admittedly he wasn't as quiet as he would have like to have been but it was better than they way Val and Carly were going at it.

"All four of you shut up and then it won't be a problem as of right now I'm reasonably sure no knows we're here but keep it up and they will." Patty was the only one who actually had the whisper thing down pat but there was still no mistaking what she had said they were driving the hell out of her and she wanted to kill them.

"See I don't think anyone is around to hear us Charlie so that shouldn't be a problem." Jack said there was a smile on his face he was a shit disturber big time. He wanted to laugh at the glare his cousins sent him but he couldn't he had to settle for smiling wider causing the laugh lines around his eyes to crease he got those from his dad.

"Jack you are such a tool sometimes you knew what Aunt Charlie meant so shut up." Victor whispered to him sneaking up and surprising people wasn't Jack's thing he rather go in with his guns blazing well that wouldn't work this time.

Alan shook his head and clicked his tongue lightly. "Now, now kids don't make me have to separate you act like big boys and girls who actually know how to go after demons without being babies." he instructed them they were getting on his nerves with all the bickering they were doing.

Mel silently groaned sometimes she hated being the oldest out of the younger five it meant she had to act like their mother and that wasn't any fun for her. "Shh if you all don't shut up I won't be responsible for the actions I take against you." she cautioned them and it wasn't an idle threat like they had pointed out she was Piper Halliwell to a T. She looked around and saw an opening in the wall up ahead it was what they were looking for. "Now this is the right place so everyone remember what to do this is the easy part." she instructed only to have Penny and Emily roll their eyes at her she was getting to be as bad as Chris and Henry were with their plans.

"We've got it mom don't worry." Penny said sarcastically it was the first time all week she had acted a little like her old self and Mel smiled she wasn't going to get on to her for that.

"Really Mel you're starting to act just like Chris." Emily pointed out to her unable to keep from rolling her eyes.

"Yeah and you're the female version of my boyfriend so we're even." Mel shot back at her and Emily stuck her tongue out at her. Mel just ignored t he younger girl she was only fifteen what else did she expect. "Alright guys lets do this now." she ordered and she went walking into the opening in the wall while the others scrambled to catch up with her.

The underworld bar the junior varsity squad stepped into was you're average run of the mill hole in the wall bar complete with the dirty glasses and the dirty bar. The clean freak in Jack just wanted to run rampart in the place but he kept it in check he was too much like his mother personality wise for his own good.

There were about twenty demons congregated in the bar acting quickly the group of nine took out half of them. Alan took out two because he was just that damn good and the smug smile on his face said that he was so Paige's son even more so than Hank was.

"Alright now I suggest you don't ask any questions we're calling the shots we know that you're going after the Halliwells and we want in. If anyone has a problem with that then we always can send you where we just sent your friends." Victor spoke up his deep voice coming out as a growl. He had conjured an atheme and was twirling it around in a very threatening manner. He had his father's smooth ways but he had the look in his eyes like he rather kill you than deal with you like his mother. A very good combination when it came to dealing with demons.

"All you had to do was ask you're in. It's Krone by the way." the demon with the dark spiky hair and the spiked collar from before stepped up and introduced himself.

"Good because we know where to find those two half demons so just follow are lead." Mel ordered them she couldn't stand the way those demons were looking at her she knew that with the clothes she had on she should expect that but it still made her skin crawl.

"Then lead on my lady." Krone said taking her hand and kissing it. Mel had to fight her reflex to cringe at the action.

But she managed to plaster a fake smile on her face and she latched onto Victor who thankfully could shimmer in addition to orbing. If you asked her it just wasn't fair she couldn't do either and here he could do both. There was no justice in the world or in the underworld for that matter she was going to have to take this up with someone when this was all over but for know she had a job to do she could obsess later.

"Ok this isn't working I would really love for someone to explain to me why this isn't working." Prue ranted as she stood in the living room letting the scrying crystal circle the map of San Francisco. She threw up her hands in frustration and then ran one of them through her jet black hair.

"Prue this is just a small suggestion but it would be very helpful if we knew what you were scrying for." Billie said just a tad bit sarcastically to the older woman who was technically younger than her but she tried not to think about it, it gave the blond too big of a headache.

Prue turned around to scowl at Billie "You know that is so not helping I wish you could be nice and quiet like your son is." she mused smirking when Billie scowled right back at her.

"Jesus I leave you two alone for five minutes and you're at each others throats when I get back Prue you really don't play well with others." Paige commented coming back into the room after Piper had thrown her out of the kitchen and banned her from making any more potions. She made one little mistake and blew one up and Piper had to go all big sister on her.

"Paige consider yourself very lucky you didn't grow up with me because I would have killed you before you hit puberty then you wonder where Carly gets her mouth from. Besides that you're supposed to be helping Piper in the kitchen with potions." Prue said glaring at her youngest sister.

Paige just raised an eyebrow at Prue she was getting more and more like Piper everyday and that was a scary thought to everyone especially her husband and kids. "Piper threw me out of the kitchen after I blew up a potion I make one little mistake and she starts acting like she is my mother." she huffed.

"Now you know how it feels she does it to me all the time Paige." Billie commented smirking at her whitelighter.

Prue let out a frustrated groan and she pressed the scrying crystal into Paige's hand "Here you do this I can't take it anymore it's driving me slowly insane." she said as she began pacing furiously.

Paige now wore a confused look on her face she had no idea what her oldest sister could be scrying for there was no way to pinpoint this demon like that and Nicole and Eva had struck out with their magical contacts so they were going to have to do this the old fashioned way with a summoning spell. "Prue what were you scrying for ?" she asked she wasn't about to tell the whitelighter that her scrying had been a waste of time that they really didn't have.

"I darling sister was scrying for areas that had abnormal amounts of rage and I came up with nothing so as I said it is now your turn to try your luck. While I go in the other room and help the queen bitch with her potion making." Prue winked at Paige.

"I heard that Prue besides that your stupid scrying won't work this time we have to use a summoning spell there is a lot of rage in San Francisco too much to scry for anyway." Piper said with a hooked eyebrow.

Prue threw her hands up in the air "now she tells me after I have just wasted half an hour of my life." she said sarcastically.

"Prue you were born with a brain it might be wise if you used it sometimes." Billie threw out there she had no control over her mouth most of the time that was why it was so fitting that she was Paige's charge.

"Enough just give me a break lets go up to the attic and summon this bastard all I have to do is call him and throw this potion at him simple as that." Piper said ushering the three women up to the attic.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

Phoebe was standing behind the podium that housed the book of shadows Eva and Nicole were on either side of her. She had the book opened to the page about how to summon a rage broker it really didn't matter it could be any of them as long as they killed one it would be all good.

"So how about we get those sisters of yours and do this ?" Nicole asked they had let this drag on long enough without doing anything about it. No sooner had she said that then the four women from downstairs had come into the attic.

"Get to reading that spell Pheebs because I am worried about the kids I need something to do." Piper ordered that was mostly the reason she and Prue were coming to odds she had to be in control.

"Powers of the witches rise find the demon with who anger flies bring him to us across the skies." Phoebe chanted reading from the book.

A gust of wind blew through the attic thankfully it didn't displace any of the junk that was stacked up there. The rage broker appeared and without even attempting to ask him any questions Piper threw the potion at him killing him instantly. There was no need to question him they already knew who had sent him and why the only thing that would be was a pain in their asses.

"Piper you look like you feel better after doing that." Eva commented when she saw the peaceful look on the older woman's face.

"Much better Eva. Now we only have to worry about the kids getting back in one piece." Piper replied sighing in contentment. Her relief didn't last long because ten demons shimmered in the room along with the nine kids they had sent to go take care of them.

"You guys can start vanquishing them anytime now mom." Billy said to his mother who was standing staring with a look of disbelief on her face.

Prue seeing that no one else was going to get off the dime and do something about the current demon problem they had flung out one of her arms wildly and sent all the demons flying into a wall. The kids took out some of the potions they made and began hurling them at the demons leaving behind only scorch marks when they hit.

Soon enough all the demons had been vanquished and they all breathed a sigh of relief so it hadn't been the best plan in the world but they were winging it.

"So is that future problem taken care of ?" Alan asked hoping he wouldn't have to go after anymore demons today he didn't know if he could take it he spent more time in the underworld than he did sleeping.

"Yup it sure is Al we took out that threat and I can safely go back home now." Victor answered giving a satisfied grin.

Jack had a look of shock on his face "You mean daddy's boy is actually going to leave without saying bye to daddy first ?" he asked smirking he loved giving Vic a hard time it was one of his favorite things to do.

"I mean this with all possible love and affection but go fuck yourself you jack ass." Vic replied flipping him off.

Piper sighed "I don't know why I try but I wish the children in this family would watch their mouths I mean honestly I do blame that on Paige though she is the one with the mouth you all get it from her." she ranted.

"We know mom we just can't help ourselves sometimes we just have to cuss." Mel professed solemnly.

"So does this mean I can go now Al ?" Vic asked he really had to get back and see if things had worked out.

"Please just go Victor you're obviously need to don't worry about your dad I'll talk to him later I don't think he was too thrilled about you being here anyway." Paige told her grandson.

"How well I know he and mom are both going to kill me slowly and painfully when I get back." Victor replied shaking his head.

"You know how to get back or do me and Jack have to send you ?" Alan asked he had thrown himself down on Aunt Pearl's sofa.

Victor rolled his eyes it didn't matter how old he got Alan and Jack still treated him like a kid. "I know how to get back there is no need for you and Jack to send me." he answered sarcastically.

"Well we'll orb with you to where ever it was you orb in from and make sure you get back ok." Jack informed him he was making sure that he was alright whether he wanted him to or not.

"Fine lets go Al get your ass off the couch if you're coming." Victor more or less ordered the older man who was more like a big brother to him than an uncle.

"I'm coming but for the record I had much rather lay on this couch and sleep for like a year that would be wonderful." Alan said pulling himself off the couch all the while mumbling something about his slave driver younger cousin.

Jack rolled his eyes and shook his head "I heard that Princess Grace and I'm only younger than you by about an hour." he said smirking.

"Last time Jack don't call me Princess Grace I don't like it stupid ass." Alan replied staring daggers at his cousin.

"Oh but that is what you said last time and the time before that you won't do anything about it." Jack taunted it was because he was tired but he was acting like a small child.

"I will punch you in the head you idiot." Alan said making his hand into a fist.

"There will be no fighting in the attic today girls." Mel said stepping in between the two of them and they backed down a little. "Now go take Victor and make sure he gets home safe and come right back like the good little boys I know you are." she pinched each one of them on the cheek.

"As fun as this has been I have to go. Grandma I love you and tell my dad that I love him too." Victor said kissing Paige on the cheek and orbing out so that the other two had to scramble to catch up with him.

"Only in this family does stuff like this happen." Billie commented dryly she loved the Halliwells like they were her sisters but some weird messed up shit went on around them .

"I know and now we have to play the waiting game for the power houses to get back." Phoebe mused sighing.

"Now I orb and go see Jason he needs me to keep him company someone's ex-boyfriend is being a pain in the ass lately." Carly said her comment was directed towards Mel.

Mel plastered a fake smile on her face. "Carly bite me and don't bring him up again. I can't have Ro and D.J. killing each other which is going to happen by the way." she replied sounding plastic.

"I realize that Ro is my brother but I have to put my money on D.J. in a fight for the obvious reasons." Em said she was making reference to her brother's height or lack there of.

"Come on Em you know we don't talk about his height he is very sensitive about it. Just like we don't compare Ricky and Chuck nothing good ever comes of it and they end up getting pissed off." Penny pointed out to her friend.

"It amazes me how you can start a snowball effect like that all the time Leigh." Patty said pointedly to her sister she had a gift for making things get blown out of proportion.

Carly smirked and shrugged "It's a gift really you should see how it gets the older five started. Even Liz wanted to kill me last week and she never wants to kill anyone other than Troy. " she replied smugly she was the one of the girls who had been blessed with the ego Wyatt and Jake had.

"Carly just go see Jason before I kill you, you have one more thing to do today before we disown you again." Val said they went through phases where they disowned each other but they got over it pretty quick.

"You guys are not seriously still stuck in that phase again are you ?" Eva asked not that anything those younger kids did surprised her.

"Yeah we are mom I got disowned the other day it's not a good idea to piss Mel off." Ricky said laughing none of them ever meant anything they said like that it was all a game to them.

"I have a great idea lets stop arguing and go to the kitchen we have plotting to do. Carly I would stay if I were you I can't believe you forgot about operation get Parker a date." Penny said as she started to walk out of the room.

"No I didn't forget and the last I heard we weren't calling it that we are calling it operation get Parker laid." Carly shot back only to get a look from all the adults in the room.

Val rolled her eyes "No that is what you're calling it Prue was very specific about this she said we have to get Parker a date nothing more." she explained one last time.

"Why is Prue delegating things like that now ? She is normally all for messing in people's love lives." Paige asked with an arched eyebrow.

"Because Aunt Paige she said she has bigger fish to fry she is working on sorting Wyatt out." Mel answered knowing she didn't have to say why he needed to be sorted out.

"Don't even bring either one of those two blonds up right now I can't even stand to be in the same room with them." Phoebe warned.

"Not only that but you girls are not setting Parker up with anyone you're staying out it and besides that all women should know I require thirty feet between them and my baby brother at all times." Piper rambled on.

Causing all the young adults in the room to laugh before they trooped down to the kitchen.

Henry was twirling a sword round and round in his hand as he circled one of the tracker demons that had shimmered in. Wyatt may have been the one who could wield Excalibur but Hank was the one who could sword fight like no other and he was half pacifist. He lashed out with his sword only to have it blocked by the tracker demon their swords clashing the sound of metal hitting metal filled the air. Sure he could have just blown the demon up or thrown a potion at him but there was no fun in that he would much rather toy with the demon before he killed it. He pulled back his sword and when the demon lunged forward he sank the blade in him to the hilt vanquishing him instantly.

"That was too cool I seriously have to add one of these to my arsenal." he smirked not caring that his cousins who were busy with demons of their own were glaring at him.

"Hank really worry about getting yourself a new toy later and do something to help out here if you haven't noticed there is more than one of these guys." Chuck shot out sarcastically as he powered up an energy ball and threw it at a demon in front of him.

Prue used her powers to send a fireball back at the demon who threw it at Chuck only to have him blow up on contact. "That was for trying to kill my boyfriend you idiot." she said giving a satisfied smirk. "Honey stop fighting with Hank and watch what you're doing that last guy almost got you." she said sweetly before she had to hit the deck to get out of the way of an oncoming energy ball.

"Practice what you preach Ladybug." Chris retorted sharply as he used his elder bolts to fry the demon that had tried to off Prue.

"I would love it if we could actually fight demons without fighting amongst ourselves." Bianca threw out to everyone as she threw an energy ball at the demon she was fighting and he turned to a pile of ash with a scream.

Wyatt withdrew hi sword from the demon he had just killed and wiped it on the ground to clean the blade the long blond locks that he had gotten to go along with his costume were flowing behind reminding Chris of the evil version of his brother he was seeing every night when he closed his eyes. "B you need to learn that we are going to fight and argue no matter what we are doing." he replied to her previous statement as he sent out an energy blast at five demons who were charging towards Liz.

"Thanks Halliwell that was a close call." Liz said gratefully as she tapped into her brother's powers and turned a demon into a block of ice before she used a well placed kick to shatter it.

Troy glared at his sister he hated it when she tapped into his powers without telling him she was going to. "Elizabeth we've talked about this don't use my powers without asking first. You know I might be using them to keep myself from getting killed but that is just a thought." he bitched thinking that maybe she didn't think things through before she decided to act.

"Ro a little help here little brother." Lilly called out she was outnumbered here it was two against one and she had no active powers she was going to get herself killed one of these days doing this.

Ro looked at his twin sister and sighed he made both his hands into fists and twisted until he heard bones crack both demons went up in flames. "Maybe if you didn't make yourself look like an easy target the demons wouldn't always gang up on you." he suggested as he punched a demon square in the jaw before throwing a potion at it.

Parker froze an energy ball that came within an inch of his face before he used his telekinesis to send it back at the demon that threw it at him. The demon went up in flames while it let out an anguished scream. "Always with the demons trying to kill me this is getting old is it too late to go back to being an only child ?" he asked.

Jake looked at him sweetly and blew him a kiss while he threw a fireball at the demon that was advancing on him. He wasn't even bothering to hide that power anymore he could explain that it was him morphing into a demon that was hard to explain away. "You know you love us Parks you have to some of us even changed your diapers there is no way you can leave now." he said in a fake pout.

Never in all of her life had Calleigh met a group of people who could be so off task when they were fighting demons she had no clue how they kept from getting seriously hurt with the way they carried on. But at the same time she had never seen a better looking group of men in her whole life they were distracting her with their good looks and dazzling smiles. Pushing that thought to the back of her mind she let out an energy blast that was much like Wyatt's only hers was green that came from being part wood nymph. The demons in front of her were vanquished on impact. "Honestly I don't know what keeps you guys from getting killed with the way you insist on carrying on." she threw out to them.

Chris looked around to be sure that all the demons they had been fighting were gone and when he saw that they were he answered her statement "We are highly gifted in that department if you ask me." he said a smirk on his face.

"Be less smug Peanut Wyatt and Jake are the cocky ones in this group." Prue said staring daggers at him once again. "Was that it or is there more to this brilliant plan ?" she asked with an arched eyebrow she had places to go and people to see when this was all done and over with. Namely she had to call a meeting of the minds to get Wyatt and Liz together she was pulling out the big guns she was going to ask Coop for advice.

"Come on we have to go somewhere else and then come back here and that should do it but I'm not promising anything about that." Chris replied if all went according to plan all they had to do was orb in and throw some potions and that should do it but like he said he couldn't make any promises.

"Chrissy please lets go do this some of us want to get out of this shit we're wearing." Lilly whined to him since he seemed to be the one in charge of this whole fucked up outfit.

"Alright lets do it, Calleigh open the portal." Chris replied to her whining he could only stand so much of it.

Victor looked back and forth between Jack and Alan it was hard on him to leave them. If it was even possible it was harder than when he had to watch them go. They were living dangerously right now of all places he had chosen the basement of Victor's house to use for his time traveling purposes. "Well fellas I can't say that I'm happy about leaving you here to have all this fun without me but I can honestly say that you're doing one hell of a job keep up the good work." he said not knowing what else to say.

"I wish it felt like we were we've basically done nothing." Jack scoffed kicking the toe of his shoe against the ground.

"Oh bullshit Jackie I can remember Uncle Parker always being there and he isn't crazy which good and he isn't with Uncle Jake which is even better. So you have at least changed that I think that if maybe you kill the demon that killed Uncle Coop that will help out a lot." Victor corrected him he was no good at this saying the right thing stuff.

Alan closed his eyes for a moment before he opened them again "Yeah thanks for reminding us about that but that is no big deal we know who that guy is we have that under control. The problem is we have no idea what the hell turned him to begin with I'm about ready to ask Uncle Cole for help here."

Victor gave both his uncles a smile "Cheer up guys at least you're not the ones who have to go back and face Paige she is being one major pain in the ass right now kinda reminds me of Aunt Prue sometimes that is a scary thing." he said he was just trying to make conversation to keep from leaving them.

Jack smirked "Our Aunt Prue or Ladybug ?" he asked that sure got confusing sometimes.

"Aunt Ladybug who is also being a pain in the ass she actually threatened to kill Uncle Jake the other day and I think she meant it but I have been wrong before." Victor answered he knew he had to go there wasn't much else for him to do here other than piss his cousin off for being gone too long.

Alan sighed he knew what the kid was trying to do and he felt for him he really did but he had to go. "Victor you need to go and you know it." he said pulling the younger man into a hug.

"I don't want to go Al I want to stay with you guys." he whined like a three year old.

Jack pulled him away from Alan and hugged him "But you have to go and right now or I won't have it in me to make you. Now you give my mom my love and the same goes for Paige tell her to hold down the fort just a little while longer." he ordered there was no doubt about it he was Piper's son even though he looked like Leo.

"Really squirt you need to go someone has to keep Paige from going crazy and killing everyone I know that girl somehow she got a whole lot of Aunt Piper in her you need to keep an eye on her. Give your grandma my love and the same thing goes for your mom and dad. I know that they are all pissed at us but they will get over it." Alan replied trying to get him to go he often wished that they had let Vic and Paige come back instead but he couldn't do that to them this was his and Jack's fight to win.

"Fine I'm going I love you guys." Victor replied knowing full well that this was most likely the last time he would see either one of them they were on a deadline and if that didn't pan out here they were going to fix it from their end and his uncles would be stuck in the past.

"We love you too Vic now go before I kick your ass." Jack said pointing to the triquetra on the wall. Victor placed his hand on it and it glowed bright blue before he stepped through it.

"You know he is right the next thing we have to do is get the bastard that killed Uncle Coop." Alan commented locking eyes with his cousin.

"I know that but right now the only thing we have to do is take care of our lack of sleep and we need food come on lets go back to the manor." Jack said orbing off causing Alan to sigh before he orbed out after him things were definitely going to get more interesting now that they didn't have to worry about their existence.

Ben hated like hell doing what he was about to do but he had no other choice those assassins had been his last line of defense and he was at a loss for what to do after that. So swallowing his pride he marched down the marble tiled floors to a sitting room that looked like it came out of a magazine for rich people who traveled the world.

"Ah Ben I see that you are gracing me with your presence and you have decided not to kill me." Gorgon said looking up from the paper that he was reading Ben had thought he was being quiet but nothing much ever got past him that was why he was the source of all evil .

"Look Uncle Greg lets not do this right now I can't handle it, it's bad enough that I'm having to come here and give in to you try to make this a little less painful for me." Ben pleaded with him his blue eyes locking with his uncle's.

Greg sat up straight in his chair and offered the other to Ben by pointing. "I take it that your plans of late haven't been going very good." he commented dryly he had already known that otherwise there was no way he would have come to him.

Ben arched his eyebrow "That is the understatement of the year I figured if maybe we pooled our resources we could do something about the Warren line because whatever we're trying to alone isn't working." he replied not sure what his uncle's reaction would be.

"I also take it that you had a little visit from your father," Greg guessed he could tell from the way the younger man was acting that was indeed what had happened. "Cole came to see me too that is how I knew." he said when he saw the questioning look in Ben's eyes.

Ben sighed "You got that right he came to see me twice he told me he would kill me if I so much as attempted to kill that disgrace I call my brother." he informed him.

"I got much of the same from him but I believe he also told me to leave all the Halliwells alone." Greg replied shrugging.

"Me too not that I was listening because not only would I like to kill both those half demons I would also like to kill that thing that is supposed to be my sister." Ben retorted he was referring to Prue he had only had the one run in with them but he could tell she was going to be a thorn in his side."

"Alas you can't kill either one of them your on my side now we need them. But I will personally help you kill every other Halliwell including your mother." Greg assured him.

"Don't remind me that she is my mother or that he is my twin brother it makes it harder to kill them damn my humanity all to hell." Ben raved not that he knew it but he was the male version of Prue.

"Still we can use that to our advantage if only you can manage to follow orders this time I know how to get you in the key lies in your middle sister she will trust you no matter what." Greg said in passing.

"Wonderful that is your solution to this your going to make me endure those witches." Ben was not happy about that he tried hard to forget he was related to them much less be in the same room with them.

"Not right now, now we sit back and plot our next move although I warn you they will be coming after you we can work that also." Greg said the wheels in his head turning he had an idea.

Ben looked Greg up and down "I won't ask what you did because I know that you did something. So I'll ask what you plan on doing about your brother."

"You leave Cole to me and don't worry about him I'll take care of him you just worry about coming up with ways to make the oldest five come undone." Greg advised he had everything else under control or so he thought. Part of him knew he shouldn't trust Ben that he would stab him in the back and take the throne the first chance he got but he was counting on that he knew he wouldn't make it through this war but there was still hope for the boy.

"That was your brilliant plan Christopher ?" Wyatt asked his chest heaving from exertion he didn't notice the way his little brother cringed when he called him Christopher something the evil version of him had done almost every time they met up.

"Hey don't knock it Princess Wyatt it worked." Chris said he was leaning up against the wall of the abandoned building they were in he was getting to be just as bad as any demon about the places he hung out in he adjusted the helmet on his head. He would be glad to get back home and get out of this ridiculous outfit but first they had to go back to Valhalla and make sure everyone there was ok.

Henry looked at his two older cousins he could see that they were headed for yet another argument he didn't know what was with the two of them these days. He could only roll his eyes he wasn't getting into that he looked around at his cousins and friends he noticed that someone was missing. "As much as I hate to break up this love fest guys where is B ?" he asked he could feel his panic rising what if something had happened to his girlfriend he couldn't lose her not after the revelation he had earlier.

Lilly bit her lip there were times when it was better to keep her mouth shut and she was debating if now was one of those times or not. In the end she decided what the hell I'll go for broke. "Hank I think that maybe she is still back in Valhalla I don't know but for some reason B just hasn't been herself today."

Prue sighed when she saw the look in her cousin's eyes "Lilly is right my empathy has been off the charts with that girl today I know I'm feeling sadness and I think a little bit of anger but I can't be sure." she admitted she had better control of her empathy than she acted like she did.

Jake scratched behind his right ear and squinted his eyes. "You're right Ladybug you were feeling a lot of anger and for B that is not good she isn't the hot head that we all are. I get less anger off of her and Liz than I do anyone even Parker's temper is worse than either one of their's is." he said he had no clue what was up with his friend but he didn't like it.

As if Liz was realizing something she brought her hand to her mouth and gasped. "You guys do know what today is don't you ?" she asked but all she got were blank looks from everyone but Henry who was trying hard to think. "Come on you guys you know what today is you just forgot besides that it is a week after my birthday." she tried giving them a hint.

"Today is Oriana's birthday and I don't think B ever got a chance to go to her grave." Liz informed them after she saw that none of them were going to answer her and that Henry had a guilty look on his face.

"I know Liz I thought she went she always makes time I know I went. And Maria went she showed up right after I did." Henry admitted he didn't care that they were looking at him like had grown another head.

Chris very rarely got mad at his younger cousin who was more like his brother but he stared at him hatefully now. "You and B always go together Henry you should have taken her with you or at least made sure she made the time to go that is why she has been so crabby." he accused.

Henry threw his hands up in a sign of surrender he was wrong and he knew it. "I know alright but what was I supposed to say 'Hey babe you want to come with me and visit my dead wife's grave so you can watch me bawl like a baby over how much I loved her ? But don't worry I really like you a lot too.' I don't think so Chris that would bring my feelings for her into question." he ranted back at his cousin who was like the older brother he never had.

"Calm down boys it will be ok we'll just go and bring her back with us hopefully." Liz said more optimistic than she felt Bianca was one of the most stubborn women she knew and that was saying something she was currently in the room with Prue Halliwell who could give anyone a run for their money in that department.

"We're both talking about the same woman here Lizzie because we can't be the Bianca Hoyt I know doesn't do anything she doesn't want to." Troy pointed out to his sister only wince when she smacked him on the back of his head.

"That is where I come in B listens to me sometimes besides her I'm the only other reasonable one in this group." Roman said it was true he wasn't quite the stubborn mule that everyone else was.

"Well then lets go back to Valhalla Hank has a girlfriend to talk some sense into." Chuck suggested and he gestured for Calleigh to open up the portal which she did and they all stepped through it.

A/N: So Ben is Phoebe and Cole's other son I thought it was about time to explain that. Prue is meddling in everyone's love lives now and she is enlisting the help of her younger cousins and sisters. It looks like she has something big up her sleeve for Liz and Wyatt God help them both. Until next time please review.
