Chapter 33: The unexpected betrayer

"Where are we?" Piper asked, as the group arrived the underworld. Suddenly a fireball appeared flying toward them. "Watch out!" Prue shouted, and used her telekinesis to throw reverse its direction, but before it could harm the owner, the fireball disappeared, instead a familiar figure walked out from the dark.

"Hi guys. Remember me?" Prue, Piper, Paige all had their jaws dropped before the scene. Brendan was the only one who was able to speak. "It's just me, or in front of me is the lower-middle Charmed One and also who had just thrown the fireball at us?"

"…Pheebs?" Prue finally had found her way to the words. The evil Phoebe smirked, "Well well, I see you've realized me. But unfortunately, I'm not who I used to be anymore. Now I belong to the underworld with my Source!" As she was saying, she threw another fireball to them, but Prue threw it away. "Finally I have an active power to fight with you guys. And no thanks to you!" She continued throwing balls while the gang moved around to dodge them. Confusing, Piper waved her hand and froze the whole room, except the 'good' Charmed Ones.

"Gosh, Phoebe's frozen!" Paige uttered. "We've lost her!"

"O…okay, any ideas what to do now?" Piper said, afraid she was about to lose a sister.

"First, unfreeze him." The oldest sister said, as Piper flicked her wrist and unfrozen the warlock. "Right, I think it's just like with the Woogyman, remember? We gotta vanquish the thing made our dear sister turned evil." Prue said like solving it was a thing in her hands.

"As you know who did those." Brendan grumbled, and immediately received glances from the sisters. "What?" he asked, pretended like he's innocent, but inside he was thinking without him they could never know the demon stands behind all the scenes.

"Ok, Paige, Piper, help me tie Phoebe, then we'll ask her who had made her this miserable." Prue commanded, just as the 'Evil' One unfrozen. "I AM NOT MISERABLE!" she shouted, and threw 4 fireballs toward each person. Prue used her mind to avoid it, Paige orbed away, and Piper froze the ball and Phoebe while Brendan was so surprised that he couldn't move, just watched the ball flew over to him. Prue realized it, and quickly pushed him out of the weapon's direction, and it hit the wall of the cave. The warlock looked deep into the witch's eyes. "Thanks" he said softly. "Anytime" she answered, in the way she always used for only Andy. When they were planning to kiss, a voice appeared.

"Stop playing around my darling. Let them see how the power of love works!" The Source walked out from the dark, after unfrozen his wife by a wave.

"Cole! I should've known right from the moment you stepped into our family that you're bad!" Prue grind her teeth, as she stood up. Cole wrapped his arms protectively around Phoebe, as both smiled wickedly. "Ah ah ah! Watch your mouth. I used to be good, for Phoebe's sake, but since the Source is too weak, I've been convinced and chosen to be the new one. With my queen beside me, we shall conquer the world! And of course, I need to thank you for bringing them here, Rowe. You've proved that you're bad, after all." The Source said toward the warlock. Surprised, the left Charmed Ones stared at Brendan. "Is that true?" Prue asked, feeling betrayed.

"Are you ready to destroy them for good my wife?" Cole asked, looking lovingly to his queen. "I thought you never asked!" Phoebe smiled, and started to create a huge fireball. "Rowe, step beside or you'll be harm" Cole warned, as created a huge electric ball as well.

"But…your majesty, you've promised to save the oldest for me!" the warlock complained, and immediately regretted. "You still think after what you've done to them, she could easily accept to be with you?" Cole angrily shouted, as the couple threw the balls to the sisters. Paige quickly grabbed Prue's hand and orbed out to avoid them, before Prue could do the same with her younger sister, since she's too far away from her reach. Piper tried to use her molecular inhibition to freeze the fireball, but her powers haven't grown enough to get rid of such powerful balls. And the time was too short for Paige to orb back and carry her out again. The peacemaker, the second most powerful Charmed One stared at the fireball, helpless.

"NO!"
