Chris, along with Piper and Leo, orbed in to the Underworld. They saw Cole opposite them and, behind him, a cage.
They saw Wyatt stood in the middle of the cage.
"What…what are you doing here?" Wyatt asked.
"We've come to save you," Leo replied, glaring at Cole.
Cole laughed. "Well you can only save Wyatt if you give me Chris."
"What?"
"Well I'm not about to just let him go. Either that or I will kill you all."
"You wouldn't kill us," Piper said, speaking for the first time.
Three demons shimmered in, energyballs appearing in their hands. "No, but these guys will," Cole smirked.
One of the demons threw an energyball towards Chris and he stood still, shocked by it all. Leo pushed Chris to one side and the energyball just missed Chris, hitting Leo instead.
Leo cried out in pain as he hit the floor, still protecting Chris. He lay on the floor, blood pouring out the wound on his shoulder. Chris moved from Leo's side and leant over him, checking the wound, causing Leo to bite his lip as Chris tried to help.
Meanwhile Piper had started trying to blow up the cage Wyatt was in, while Cole constantly threw energyballs at her. She ducked them all, blew up two of the demons and finally managed to blow up the cage, causing Wyatt to shield himself as the side fell towards him.
"Thanks," Wyatt shouted, orbing over to his Dad and attempting to heal him. He didn't get very far though as Cole threw another energyball. Chris dived at Wyatt, knocking him to the floor and out the way of the energyball. He landed on top of Wyatt causing Wyatt to groan.
"Get off me," he muttered, shoving Chris.
"Fine, though a little thanks for saving your life would be nice," Chris snapped back.
Another energyball came hurtling towards the pair and Wyatt, without meaning to, brought up his shield around them and the two sighed in relief.
Piper blew up the demon and ran to Leo's side, assuring him he would be alright, unaware that Cole was planning ahead.
He threw an energyball at Piper and she moved, but then he moved his arm and no one could do anything as Leo flew across the cave and hit the wall hard, sliding down to the floor, nearly unconscious. Piper and the boys went to help him, but as soon as Piper turned, an energyball hit her in the leg and she collapsed.
Neither of the boys knew what to do. Chris orbed to his Mum orbing her out while Wyatt orbed over to his Dad and orbed him out.
Back at their house, they lay their parents on the bed and Wyatt tried to heal them.
Wyatt healed Piper first and she hugged both boys tightly afterwards before letting Wyatt go to heal Leo.
She carried on hugging Chris while asking him if he was alright after everything and whether he was happy to stay here and work everything out, which Chris kept insisting that he was.
Wyatt concentrated hard to heal his Dad. His wound was bad and his life was draining from him. The golden glow was there though and the blood started to disappear. After a minute the wound began to heal and Leo seemed to be coming around.
He sat up slowly, rubbing his shoulder where the wound had been.
"I'm so glad you learnt how to use some of your powers," he smiled weakly.
Piper was next to him checking that both the boys were ok, but the sound of Leo's voice made her stop and turn around. She hugged him.
"I'm so glad you're ok and…I'm glad too that you learnt how to use your powers," she admitted.
"Really? But what about the no using our powers thing?" Chris asked.
"Well using your powers got us in to this mess, but at least it got us out and you were able to heal us."
"So…even after this we can still use our powers?" Wyatt asked hopefully.
"We will vanquish Cole again and then we'll see," Piper smiled.
"So how do we vanquish Cole?" the boys asked together.
Leo and Piper laughed at their excited faces.
"Well he doesn't seem to have much power so it shouldn't be too hard."
"Lets go then!"
"Wyatt you can't just go," Chris laughed, grabbing his arm.
"And how would you know? It's not like you've fought loads of demons before," Wyatt snapped.
"We need a plan. You can't just go and hope to vanquish a demon, especially one who has survived it so many times," Chris reminded him. Wyatt looked and saw both his parents nodding.
"Fine," he sighed "so what is the plan?"

After what seemed like ages they had finally come up with a plan. Wyatt and Piper began on a vanquishing potion while Leo helped Chris with a spell.
"Thanks for saving me earlier," Chris said quietly.
"No problem. I know that doesn't change what happened before though."
"No…it doesn't. You are trying though and…it won't happen again…right?"
"Right. I will never hurt you again," Leo promised "and, even if it means risking my life, I will save you from anything."
Chris smiled. "I've nearly finished with the spell. Maybe you should see how Wyatt and Mum are getting on." Leo nodded and walked out the room.
He knew that Chris still felt uncomfortable around him and, even after today, he still didn't want to be left alone for long with him. He walked up to his wife, putting his arms around her.
"How's the potion going?"
"Fine," she said, adding the last ingredient. "How is Chris? Did you two talk?"
"Yeah. I think things are getting better," Leo replied. At that moment Chris walked in the room.
"The spell is finished and should work. All we need is the potion."
"The potion is done," Wyatt smiled, filling two small glass bottles with a green looking liquid.
Chris nodded, taking one of the potions. "Ready then?"
