Chapter twenty-four:
As soon as Wyatt got his bearings he spotted the senator, and immediately hurled an energy ball his way, wanting first to finish that business. 'Look out." Danielle called sprinting across the club and diving over one of the old tables to knock the senator out of its deadly path. The two landed behind the old bar, but it was not clear to Brian or Bridget whether either of them had been hit. "Wyatt, why am I not surprised." Brian said smugly, trying desperately to hide the terror he felt not knowing if Danielle was alright.
"If it is not two of the Harley witches." Wyatt seethed. "Where's your cute little sister and my traitorous cousin?" Wyatt asked before telekinetically sending Brian and Bridget flying to opposite sides of the room, knowing he would not get an answer. Bridget was pretty shaken up but Brian immediately got to his feet, gesturing in an attempt to blow up the twice blessed source, though only succeeding in stunning him. He tried three more times again with little success. "Pathetic" Wyatt declared before waving his arm violently though the air, throwing Brian against the wall with even more force, knocking him unconscious if not killing him.
"No!" Bridget screamed while forcing herself up as Wyatt made his way to the other side of the club to finish off the senator if he had not done so already. Bridget picked up a chair and charged at Wyatt intent on hurling it at him from behind but he anticipated her attack, ducking out of the way. "Pest." He screamed before hurling a fire ball at Bridget which she was barely able to avoid. Recovering quickly she used her telepathy hoping to tap into her brothers powers. Thankfully Brian was still alive, allowing her to stun Wyatt with his power. Amidst the fighting Danielle had come to and was making her way over to Brian, who although very injured was beginning to come to .
"Get the senator out of here." He insisted to her. "Teleport him to the gym." She shook her head, "No I won't leave you. I can't, I…" She said trailing off. "I know" he told her. "But we are good witches meant to protect the innocent now get him out of here." Brian could now see that the senator had not been hit and was still alive although only semi-conscious. "Fine." She told him "but I will be back" she insisted before charging across the room to teleport the senator out while Bridget had Wyatt distracted.
Somehow Bridget had used potions and Brian's explosive power to weaken Wyatt enough to tap into his power of telekinesis and use it against him. He however recovered quickly and was once again able to block Bridget's power, then he used his telekinesis to hurl her across the room.
Brian although still terribly injured had managed to pull himself up and once again tried to use his power against Wyatt, which only served to annoy the source, who had now realized that the senator was gone. Angry, Wyatt hurled an energy ball at Brian, who's reflexes were not good enough to blow up the deadly sphere, hitting him square in the shoulder. Wyatt then used his telekinesis to throw one of the old tables across the room practically crushing, and trapping Brian. "No" Bridget screamed again, injured but managing to drag herself over to her injured brother. Wyatt simply let out an evil laugh enjoying the destruction.
Meanwhile Prue and Sean had been down in the club's basement getting all the supplies together, when they heard the commotion upstairs. The cellar was soundproof and they would not have heard anything at all had the door not been left open by a pinch. Reacting immediately Prue charged upstairs followed closely by Sean. When they finally got upstairs They saw Wyatt laughing at Brian and Bridget ready to hurl an energy ball there way which Prue managed to freeze, giving Bridget the chance to move her and Brian out of his path.
"Well cousin I was wondering where you were." Wyatt scoffed. "I knew I sensed you around here somewhere." Not bothering to respond Prue merely threw one of her more powerful explosive potions at her cousin but Wyatt's reflexes were too great, allowing him to telekinetically guide it away from himself. "Nice try" he teased before making a fist, beginning to telekinetically choke his cousin. Sean not knowing what else to do charged at Wyatt, whom merely released his hold on Prue temporarily to throw the powerless Morris boy across the room knocking him unconscious. "Sean." Prue screamed before her air was again cut off by Wyatt's strangle hold. "This is the end cousin." Wyatt cheered as the life appeared to be draining from Prue.
Meanwhile Bianca and Chris shimmered in above ground at an arboretum in golden gate park. Chris looked around and got his bearings, thankful to finally be out of the underworld. "There in trouble" he told Bianca, sensing the danger his friends were in. He was about to orb out when Bianca stopped. "Wait " she insisted. "Be careful." She instructed before planting a passionate kiss on his lips. "I will." he said "and I will meet you back here when it is safe." he finished before orbing out.
Back at P3 Prue could feel herself getting weaker and she knew she had to do something to save herself as she dropped to her knees. Gasping for air she noticed one of the old chairs lying on the ground next to her. Somehow she summoned the strength to grab it and hurl it at Wyatt, hitting him in the arm, causing him to release his grip. This gave her a chance to throw another potion his way, which threw him backwards onto his ass. Catching her breath she made her way over to the corner where there were boxes of potions they had already stacked for the move. She kept hurling whatever she could at him, but they were simply not strong enough to disable her cousin.
Wyatt recovered quickly using his telekinesis to hurl the box of potions across the room braking them into pieces. He then released energy ball after energy ball into Prue's path some of which she managed to freeze while she dodged some others. She fled across the room and took cover behind the bar. Knowing she had to do something she thought quickly on her feet and improvised a spell to at least slow Wyatt down.
Take his sight
So I can fight
Blind him now
Don't ask me how
With the chant Wyatt's eyes began to burn and he screamed out in pain as his vision began to blur. Seeing the spell had worked, and Wyatt's vision was impaired Prue emerged from the cover of the bar and began to use her martial arts on her cousin. Wyatt may have been stronger than her , but Prue could definitely fight, and without his sight Wyatt could not anticipate his cousin's attacks.
She first hit him with a roundhouse kick to the face and then kneed him in the groin. He wildly started releasing energy balls and using his telekinesis to throw things around the room, however Prue had the advantage, because after all she could see. Her success however did not last too long as her spell quickly began to wear off. When Wyatt could finally see enough to locate his cousin he hurled her across the room. Hurt pretty badly she struggled to get up.
Meanwhile Bridget, although badly hurt was trying desperately to wake her brother up. As far as she could tell Brian was still breathing, but barely. Finally able to think straight she began to call out for Leo, but there was no response. She looked over to where her friend was fighting Wyatt who had once again gotten the upper hand, and was telekinetically choking his cousin. Bridget kept trying to call Leo, but there was no response until finally when it looked like all was lost, orbs descended into the room, but to Bridget's surprise it was not Leo who appeared but Chris.
Seeing his cousin unable to breath and on the brink of collapse, Chris sprung right into action, violently throwing a surprised Wyatt across the room. Prue began gasping for air. After finally getting her bearings she turned around to see who had saved her and was so thrilled to see Chris. "Hey Kid." He said. "Long time no see." He joked before continuing after Wyatt who seemed to be coming too. "Chris, how the hell did you get here?" Wyatt demanded as he got to his feet. "That is for me to know and you to never find out." Chris answered before using his powers to hurl a table at his brother which Wyatt managed to avoid. The source then answered by hurling an energy ball back at Chris, which he narrowly dodged.
Amidst the fighting Prue and a now conscious Sean had made there way over to Bridget, and Brian who was still unconscious. Danielle teleported back in as well, and was devastated to see the state of the man she loved. "Brian." She pleaded hoping desperately he would wake up. His eyelids fluttered open and it looked as if he wanted to say something but he could not get the words out. "Shh.." She told him "rest, save your strength until Leo can heal you she told him." Bridget and Prue echoed the sentiment hoping desperately that Leo would answer their call and come down in time.
Meanwhile as the girls fruitlessly called out for Leo Chris continued to engage his brother. Wyatt was still reeling a little from the first surprise blow, so Chris was managing to hold his own. Wyatt kept trying to distract Chris by hurling energy balls at Brian, Sean and the girls but Prue and Bridget were managing to freeze them, while Danielle dragged a table over on its side to give them some cover. "Leave them out of this." Chris seethed. "This is between us." Wyatt simply laughed. "Sorry brother, but our little cous and her friends are going to die, it would really be a shame if you have to die along with them."
Hearing Wyatt's threats merely fueled Chris' anger giving him even more power to fight. Noticing where his brother was standing Chris looked up to the ceiling and saw an opportunity. Directly above Wyatt hung a very heavy chandelier. Acting immediately Chris used his power to tear the light fixture from the ceiling plaster and the chandelier caved in on Wyatt knocking him unconscious. Chris continued to think on his feet asking the girls if there were any Crystals around and Prue nodded toward some boxes on the bar. Chris used his powers to quickly put the crystals in a circle around a now semi-conscious Wyatt trapping him.
Chris ran over to the other's. "We need to get out of here" Chris asserted. The girls were clearly worried that they should not move Brian in his injured state but they realized they had no choice. It would not be long before Wyatt freed himself from the Crystal cage. Prue told Chris where to orb them and they all left a very angry Wyatt, still trapped in the cage, clearly in a rage over his brother's escape.
The group arrived at the gymnasium with a very gravely injured Brian, who although conscious was still too weak to speak. Seeing Brian's condition Brittany, who had been waiting at the gymnasium ran over to her injured brother hysterically. Bridget tried desperately to console her younger sister knowing that if Leo did not get there soon it would be too late.
As Danielle, Bridget and Brittany were desperately trying to tend to the injured Brian, Chris began asking Prue about Leo. "Where is he?" Chris demanded "I don't know" Prue answered. "He was called by the other elders early this morning. He hasn't been back since, and he hasn't answered our calls. If he doesn't get here soon Brian is going to die." She sobbed, falling into her older cousins arms. As he comforted her, she was thrust into the first premonition she had in a while." "What is it?" Chris immediately asked her. "It's Leo." she said before fainting in Chris' arms.
