Everyone turned to AJ, staring in shock. He lowered his sword. "Damn. You never could get that straight could you? I never wanted to be your apprentice"
"Well you were. And I'm the reason you can throw fireballs"
"All because I'm pyrokinetic." AJ said, raising his sword, with one hand.
Cole looked at Phoebe. "Hey baby, you miss me"
"In your dreams." Phoebe said.
"Oh, you know you missed me." Cole said.
"What the hell do you want?" Paige asked.
"No, better question: How the hell are you here?" Phoebe asked.
"Don't ask me. Ask your son. The future one. You know the one that rules the world"
"He brought you out of limbo didn▓t he?" Chris said.
"Yes, he did. To bring Chris back." Cole said, stepping forward.
"Hey, watch what you do. I can cut your head off in two seconds flat." AJ warned.
"You won't hurt me." Cole said. "You can't hurt me"
"Wanna bet." AJ said, swinging.
Piper ducked. The sword cut off Cole's arm. AJ smirked, but not for long. Cole's arm started to grow back. Cole grins and starts to swing.
"Damn." AJ said, just as Cole hit him with a low powered energyball. He flew back into the wall.
Piper tried blowing him up. Cole barely moved. He threw a fireball at her. She ducked. Chris grabbed Wyatt and orbed out. Bianca threw her knife and hit Cole in his chest. Realizing he need a strategy Cole shimmered out, the knife dropped to the floor.
"Ouch." AJ said, rubbing his head. He put his sword in the case.
"AJ!" Paige said.
"Yes"
"You have some major explaining to do." Piper said.
"I know. But one quick question. You vanquished him when he was an Avatar right"
"Yeah"
"Well, he still has that power"
"Let's hope he doesn▓t know that." Phoebe said.
"Explain." Paige said.
"If he knows then-" Phoebe started.
"Not you." Paige said. "Why did he call you his apprentice?
"Ok, that was really not my idea. It was the damn Triad. They assigned him to watch me and be my teacher. They were obviously tryin to turn me." AJ said, sittin beside Billie.
"Why didn▓t you tell me?" Billie asked.
"Well I didn▓t think it was important. And I never thought he would come back. How the hell did he get out of limbo? I'm gonna go get the cavalry." AJ said, orbing out.
"Who the hell is the cavalry?!" Piper exclaimed.
Paige, Bianca, Phoebe and Billie shrugged.
AJ orbed in and looked at the Elders. Prue walked over to him.
"AJ, what are you doing here?" She asked.
"I was going to ask you the same thing." AJ countered.
"I asked you first." Prue said.
"I came to ask the Elders if we could have you back for a couple of hours"
"Why"
"If I tell you you'll worry." AJ said. "Now, why are you here"
"The Elders wanted to see me." Prue said.
"What for?" AJ asked.
Prue shrugged, "I don▓t know. They're having a meeting and then they're coming out here"
"Well I need to hurry." AJ said, walking up to a group of 3 Elders: Odin, Sandra, and Jones.
"Can we help you, young whitelighter?" Odin asked.
"Yeah you can. Look me and my sisters need Prue to help us vanquish a demon and I was hoping you guys could let her"
"No." Sandra said.
"Why the hell not?" AJ exclaimed.
"Because we have a proposition for her." Jones said.
"What kind of proposition?" AJ asked.
"We won't tell you. But if she does agree to it then she will be able to help you." Odin said.
AJ orbed out.
He orbed back in the attic where everyone was at.
"Damn Elders." AJ cursed.
"What happened with the Elders?" Piper asked.
"Nothing important. They just really can't help anyone. Where's Wyatt"
"Chris and Billie's taking him to Victor's." Bianca said.
"Oh. So, what's going on here?" AJ asked.
"We're making a vanquishing potion." Phoebe said, tossing some ingredients in the pot.
"But he still has the powers of an Avatar." AJ pointed out.
"We're hoping that this power stripping potion will work." Piper said.
"But he's too powerful for that"
"We're hoping it'll work." Piper said.
"I'm not real sure"
"We're trying it"
"Ok ok"
There was a jingle from the Elders. AJ looked up. "What? What'd ya want"
Another jingle. "Yeesh. I'll be back. Damn Elders." He orbed out and orbed back in in front of some Elders.
"What do you want now?" He asked.
"We want you to show a new Whitelighter the ropes." Kevin said.
"Who is it?" AJ asked, crossing his arms.
"She will come to you when she learns how to orb." Sandra said.
"Ok. I'll do it." AJ said, giving in.
"She'll be there in a few hours." Kevin said.
"Yeah." AJ said, orbing out.
