Chris and Wyatt orbed out, reappearing in the Underworld.

"Ready?" Wyatt asked. Chris took a deep breath and nodded.

They made their way forwards through the dark tunnels, hoping they wouldn't see any demons. They came in to a torch lit cave and nervously looked around.

"I don't think he's here," Chris whispered.

"Oh I'm here alright," came a reply. Cole stepped out from the shadows, grinning. "I know why you are here as well and let me tell you that you won't vanquish me that easily."

Wyatt and Chris glanced at each other. "Don't be too sure," Wyatt spoke up, trying to hide the shaking in his voice. Cole laughed and stepped forwards.

"You have no idea what you are getting yourselves in to."

Chris suddenly threw the potion bottle he was holding, but Cole was too quick and an energyball destroyed it before it even came close to him.

"I think maybe you need to learn more about vanquishing before you try vanquishing me. Simply throwing a bottle like that will never work. I've learnt to be prepared and react quickly."

"Don't think that just because of that we won't vanquish you," Chris growled. Cole shrugged, giving the impression that he either didn't care or didn't believe them.

Cole, without warning, fired an energyball at the boys. Chris dived to one side, just missing it, while a surprised Wyatt levitated before hitting the floor with a thump.

Wyatt groaned and stood up, while Chris lay on the floor watching. Cole faced them, waiting to see what they did. Wyatt raised his hands, just like Piper, and went to blow Cole up. He shimmered out though, reappearing behind the boys and, with a simple movement of his hand, he sent Wyatt flying through the air.

Wyatt hit the stone wall, his breath being took away from him for a second before he collapsed to the ground.

Chris ran over to help his brother but soon found himself hitting the wall and landing on top of Wyatt, who quickly shoved him off. Rubbing his head, Wyatt shakily stood up. Chris stood next to him trying to get feeling back in his arm. Wyatt, without even knowing how, sent an energy blast at Cole.

It hit Cole and the power of it sent him flying backwards, sliding part way across the floor. He got straight back up again though and sent a number of quick fired energyballs at the other two.

They ducked and darted, but were unable to avoid them all. Wyatt's arm was cut badly and Chris could hardly walk as two fireballs got him in the same leg.

"Wyatt…" he mumbled.

"I know, I know," Wyatt said, going to heal his brother. He felt his throat closing up though and began chocking as he tried to breathe. The glow from the healing stopped as he moved his hands to his throat, helpless.

Cole held his hand in the same position, unwilling to let Wyatt breathe properly just yet. He used his other hand to throw Chris against the wall again, before throwing another energyball. Chris, unable to escape, was hit in the chest and fell unconscious.

Wyatt watched as his brother hit the floor. There was blood around him and he didn't appear to be breathing. Cole let go of his hold on Wyatt and he fell forwards, only just able to hold himself up as he caught his breath.

He crawled over to Chris and turned him over but he seemed to be too late. Chris didn't move and he couldn't see him breathing. He was about to try and heal him in the hope he wasn't quite dead, but Cole wouldn't allow that. He shimmered behind Wyatt, grabbed him and shimmered out.

Wyatt was thrown to the floor and was surprised when he felt carpet beneath him. He glanced around and realised they were in what looked like an office.

"He was already dead you know." Wyatt stood up and spun round in anger.

"How could you?"

"He killed Phoebe," was his only reply.

"It wasn't his fault!" Wyatt yelled, tears running down his cheeks.

"He was there and he didn't save her. I've heard the story. He paid for what he did. It's over."

"This is far from over. You won't get away with hurting innocents, especially not when that innocent is my brother!" Cole didn't react to this comment. He walked around Wyatt and sat in the big leather chair behind a desk.

"If I was you I'd leave."

"How can you be so calm?" Wyatt asked. Cole merely shrugged again. This just made Wyatt more annoyed. "I meant what I said. I'm not afraid to fight you."

"I don't want to fight you."

Wyatt was shocked. "W…w…what?"

"I don't want to fight you," he repeated.

"I don't understand."

"My fight was with Chris and I won. He's dead. I have no reason to fight you or anyone else in your family for that matter. I will leave you alone from now on and I suggest you leave me alone."

Wyatt stood still for a second before orbing out without a word. He reappeared at home and went in search of his parents.

He went upstairs and was surprised to see them coming down a ladder at the end of the hallway. "You've been in the attic."

"Wyatt, you're home." Leo said, ignoring what he'd said. He ran up to his son and pulled him in to a hug, followed closely by Piper.

"What happened?" Piper asked, concerned. "Where is Chris?"

Wyatt stood there, not able to explain.

"Wyatt, you have to tell us." Leo said softly and Piper nodded in agreement.

"He was ready for us. He fought back and he has more power than we realised. We didn't know what to do," he sobbed. Piper hugged him again and tried to calm him down.

"What else?" she asked, trying to encourage him to go on.

"Well we fought as best we could. Chris threw one of the potions but he blew it up with an energyball. In the end he was stopping me from breathing using his power and, while I couldn't do anything, he hurt Chris. He was already weak and…I…I was unable to save him."

Piper and Leo were in shock. "You mean he died?" Piper asked in disbelief.

"I tried to heal him, but Cole shimmered me out. It was probably too late anyway but I wanted to try…he stopped me…"

"Ok, calm down," Leo interrupted his son as he continued to try and explain himself. He didn't want him to beat himself up over it. "You tried and that's all you could do." He looked at Piper hoping that she'd help him out, but she looked away clearly crying. Leo felt like crying himself but tried to be strong for Wyatt who was still crying in his arms.

He couldn't believe that Chris was gone and, even though they hadn't been close, they were going to start again. He was going to treat him like he should. Earn his trust back. Now he was gone and Leo felt empty. He gave in and let the tears flow, now holding his wife and only son in his arms.
