Thanks for the reviews...they are greatly appreciated. I originally didn't want to include 'Witch Wars' in my rewrite, but as you'll read, I have written in my own version of it. Also...I hope my version of Wyatt isn't too confusing for anyone. Someone commented about how he seems to be good and evil at the same time. I thought it was a viable concern/comment. He was certainly evil in the future, but he has a weakness for his younger brother and he's starting to feel a little differently now that he's been around his family for so long. I've tried to show changes in him, but I don't know how Well I'm doing with him...oh well, enough rambling.

A few days later, Piper was pacing her bedroom. "One son stormed off in an angry rage, another son lost a friend and the love of his life, and..." She spoke over the phone to her father.

"And what?" Chris replied. He stood in the doorway.

"She turned to him and then spoke into the phone. "Gotta go. I'll call you back." She hung up the phone and set it on her dresser. "Hey." She greeted Chris.

"Hey, who was on the phone?" He asked.

"That was your Grandpa." Piper said. "We were just talking about things."

"About Wyatt, Bianca?" Chris assumed.

Piper nodded. "Yeah. I still can't get over Wyatt, he's so...I can't even describe him." She said. "I just can't believe I raised him."

"Well, you did the best you could. Besides, he's changing." Chris replied.

Piper gave him a curious look. "He is?" She asked.

"Not significantly, but he is slightly." Chris said. "He's not exactly the same Wyatt I left in the future when I came back here. I think being around family and the possibility of having a family again may have made a difference in him."

"At least you're noticing something." Piper replied. "So did you find out anything on Gideon?"

"Just the same info that Dad got. He's somewhere in the Underworld, just don't know where." Chris explained. "Don't know where Bellock is either. Seems he's moved to a new lair. That's what Wyatt claims anyways."

"Wait, you talked to Wyatt?" She asked.

"Yeah, yesterday." Chris replied.

Gideon had been staying in one rat hole or another in the Underworld. It wasn't really the living situation he was used to, but the Charmed Ones were on to him now. They knew he was after Wyatt and his last little attack didn't go so well. He hadn't planned on Piper showing off a new power though. It could have been the baby's power and it made sense that the baby would have such a power, being that it's father was half Elder when he was conceived. Now that the Charmed Ones knew about his plans though, and he couldn't risk staying in the mortal world or in Magic School.

He needed a distraction for the Charmed Ones, something to keep them occupied long enough for him to finally get at Wyatt. Of course, that was supposing the boy didn't just simply orb away as he had done before. Despite being so young, the boy seemed to have quite a grip on his powers.

Gideon walked into what looked like a filming studio of sorts, though being in the Underworld, it's walls were that of a rocky cavern. Standing at some sort of video screen stood two demons, hosts of a demonic game show.

Gideon had done his research, knowing that these demons, Corr and Clea, were the host of a show called 'Witch Wars.' The show was a reality show of sorts that followed demons as they took on the task of killing other magical beings in a quest for their power. While he was holed up in the Underworld, he had happened to catch an episode of the show. Now he needed to convince the show hosts to send contestants after the Charmed Ones.

"Excuse me." Gideon said to get their attention.

Corr turned around and formed a fireball, readying to defend himself if necessary. "Who are you, what do you want?" He asked. His demonic lover and co-host Clea, stood next him with a loving arm draped on his shoulder.

"I know who he is." Clea said before Gideon could even answer her lover's question. "He's that Elder that's been down here working with demons. He's after that twice blessed brat."

"Yes, I suppose that would be correct." Gideon replied, confirming her information.

"And what do you want with us?" Corr asked curiously.

"Well, I want you to do a Charmed centric episode. You have plenty of demons who are dying to be on the show from what I understand and I want you to send them after the Charmed Ones." Gideon explained.

"That would be suicide for any demon." Clea replied. "We want the Charmed Ones out the picture just as much as you do, but we know that are strength isn't yet strong enough to take on the Charmed Ones."

"But it will be the demons taking them on, not you yourself." Gideon said. "That is how your show works isn't it?"

"Yes it is, but if the Charmed Ones find out who is sending demons after them, they will want our heads on a platter." Corr explained.

"From what I understand, your show could use a boost in ratings and what better way to do that than to challenge the Charmed Ones." Gideon suggested.

Corr turned to Clea. "We could use an extra ratings boost. This could broaden our audience." He said, trying to reason it out. Going after the Charmed Ones might be suicide, but only if the demons didn't succeed in killing the sisters.

"I suppose it could." She replied. She looked at Gideon. "What do you get out of all this, out of us putting them on the show?"

"I just need them distracted, that's all and this would be quite the distraction." Gideon answered.

"Fine, how do we get the cameras set up?" She asked.

"Let me take care of that." Gideon replied with an almost evil smirk.

A short time later, Gideon appeared in the manor. He had sensed that Paige was the only one home, she was on the second floor of the manor. He had no idea where anyone else was, so he had to be quick in case anyone showed up out of the blue. He had several ronyx crystals in hand that he planned to hide around the manor. They were some form of video system that Corr and Clea used for their show. It would help them get a leg up on the sisters and provide the video for their audiences.

As he stood near the granite round table near the stairs, Gideon held out one of the crystals. It floated and absorbed into the vase of flowers on the table. He walked into the parlor and held another crystal out. It floated into the mirror over the fire place mantle. He walked into the conservatory and placed a crystal in there as well.

He ventured to the stairs, wondering exactly where Paige was on the second floor. He wanted to place a few crystals there and in the attic as well.

Chris juggled a few grocery bags in one arm as his other reached for the front door. Piper stood behind him carrying a few bags as well. "I don't know why you have me grocery shopping when I should be demon hunting." He said to Piper.

"Hey, I need to be prepared for your birth. Had to get diapers and ointment in case you get a diaper rash. Had to pick up some bottles and I couldn't resist that cute little teddy bear." Piper explained.

"I'd rather not think about you rubbing ointment on my ass." Chris replied sarcastically. He finally had the door open and stepped inside. In a panic, Gideon cloaked himself, going invisible immediately. Chris walked right passed him, heading to the kitchen with the bags of groceries.

"Well, if you're anything like Wyatt, I might have to." Piper said from behind him.

"Eww." Chris shuddered at the mere thought of his mother doing anything with his butt.

Gideon let them walk passed before he headed up the stairs. He set up a crystal in each bedroom and surprisingly didn't have any run ins with Paige. He heard something in the bathroom and assumed it was probably her. He went to the attic and set up the last crystal.

Leo stepped into the kitchen with little Wyatt. "Hey, apparently I'm needed at an Elder meeting." He said to Piper and Chris. He handed little Wyatt over to Chris.

"Hey, bro." Chris said to the little guy. Wyatt looked up at Chris with a happy face.

"I thought you were done with all that stuff?" Piper asked.

"I thought so too, but even us white lighters have meetings we need to attend on occasion. Sandra came to me at the park though and asked me to be present at this meeting." Leo explained. "I don't know how long I'll be."

"Oh, ok." Piper said. As Leo orbed off, she looked at her oldest son. "Did you have fun at the park with Daddy?"

Little Wyatt laughed and smiled in happiness. That was, to Piper, an indication that he must have had fun at the park. The little guy liked hanging out with his Dad and she was glad that he was around for her boys to hang out with. She couldn't imagine being without Leo at her side and it had seemed that in the future he wasn't always there. She didn't know all the details and assumed she never would. She just hoped that she would never have to live that future.

Paige ventured into the kitchen, fresh from a shower. "I didn't hear you come on." She said to Piper and Chris.

"We just got home actually." Piper replied. She started to empty one of the grocery bags and put the groceries in the proper cabinets.

"Well, I've been tracking some demons. Someone's been killing witches." Paige explained.

"Ok and..." Piper questioned.

"They've been killing them with athames, ones that strip a witch's powers." Paige continued to explain.

"Are you saying that someone is collecting their powers?" Chris asked.

"It seems that way. It could have something to do with Wyatt." Paige said. "Maybe Gideon or even Bellock are collecting powers so they can get to Wyatt."

"I guess anything's possible." Piper replied.

"Phoebe and I were tracking a demon this morning that might be involved with the killings, I was just about to summon him. Thought maybe you could help." Paige explained.

"Where's Phoebe?" Chris asked.

"She had to be at work. Guess they had a meeting or something." Paige replied. "I wouldn't know, haven't had a real job in a while now."

"Yeah, I can help. Let me just put Wyatt down for his nap." Piper said.

A short while later, they were all in the attic. Little Wyatt was napping or in his crib anyways. He was a little fussy, not really wanting to nap. The little guy had sensed something was wrong, that something was affecting his family and it discomforted him. He was too young to really realize what was going on though.

Paige had a crystal cage set up on the floor of the attic and a spell written on a scrap piece of paper. "Summon now the demon Saul, into the cage, please hear our call." She said.

"Saul?" Piper questioned. She never did understand how any demons got their names.

"I didn't pick it." Paige replied. The demon began to form before them in the cage.

"What the..." Saul started to question. He stood tall, wearing all black clothes.

"Hey, over here." Paige said to him. He whirled around in the cage to face her. He knew immediately who she was and tried not to show any worry on his face. "What do you know about the witches that are being killed?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." He claimed.

Paige reached down and twisted one of the crystals, sending a surge of shocking energy through the demon. "Tell me what you know about the witches?" She demanded, letting go of her hold on the crystal.

Saul was forced down to his knees in electrifying pain. "I don't know..." Paige cut him off with another twist of the crystal. Pain surged through him once more. "I...one was killed last night." He said through the pain. Paige let go of the crystal.

"Who's been killing these witches?" Piper asked.

"Different demons, contestants." Saul answered.

Chris looked at the demon curiously. "Contestants?" He questioned.

"I, I can't say anymore." Saul said, so Paige continued to torture him with the crystals.

"Stop, you're going to vanquish him." Piper argued..

"It's not like he's going to tell us anymore." Paige replied. The demon exploded as the sparks from the crystals killed him.

"Not now." Chris said, putting his hands out in protest. "We could have gotten him to talk."

The phone started to ring. "I'll get that." Piper headed out of the attic. "Be right back."

"So now what?" Chris asked Paige. With the demon vanquished, he had no idea how they were going to get any information about the witches that were being killed. Saul mentioned something about contestants killing them. Contestants of what though? He immediately thought of some sort of game show, like Jeopardy: The New Generation. One of Piper's friends had been on that show just before Wyatt had started to really make an impact on San Francisco with his evil ways. A game show wouldn't make any sense though. Why would demons be on a game show?

Paige sighed in frustration. "I don't know."

Piper made her way back to the attic. "Something's come up at the club. I gotta head over there and take care of a few things. Can one of you keep an eye on Wyatt?" She explained and asked.

"Yeah sure." Paige replied.

Gideon sat at a table in a demonic bar that was situated in the Underworld. Multiple flat screen TV's were set up on various walls of the bar so every customer could get a view of what was on. It was a new episode of 'Witch Wars.' Several demons had gathered to watch that night's episode. Gideon was lucky he was able to even get a seat.

The show started off with Corr and Clea announcing that it was a special episode. "Tonight is a very special episode. Tonight three contestants will take on the infamous Charmed Ones." Clea said. "They will try not only to gain the sisters powers, but to take out the sisters as well."

"If these demons succeed, they will make history. They will forever be heroes in the Underworld." Corr added.

The two hosts continued and introduced their three contestants. One was a Brute Demon, one was a Shapeshifter, and the the other was a dark lighter who had an array of extra powers at his disposal. The screen changed, showing a scene of the attic in the manor. Paige, Piper, and Chris surrounded a crystal cage with a demon in it. Paige was questioning the demon about the witches that were being killed.

Gideon watched, surprised that the sisters had known anything about the witch killings. On screen, the phone rang and Piper had rushed off to answer it. "Right on cue." Gideon thought. He had made the phone call so he could get Piper at the club. With Piper at the club, Phoebe at work, and Paige left home, each sister was without the protection of the power of three. It might make it easier for the demonic contestants of 'Witch Wars' to attack the sisters. Though Chris was still home with Paige, Leo had been up with the Elders. If either sister were injured, Gideon hoped that Leo wouldn't be quick enough to save them. He knew Leo was up with the Elders because he had glamored into Sandra's appearance and met Leo at the park, asking him to be present at the meeting that afternoon. It seems that things were going right according to his plans.

Chris sat in the parlor of the manor with the TV on. He was flipping channels hoping something would spark his attention. Paige was in the kitchen feeding little Wyatt an early dinner. They had no leads on who was killing the witches and he didn't know what else he could do. He had talked to Wyatt and Wyatt was checking in the Underworld for any leads.

Phoebe came rushing into the manor. "Piper, Paige." She yelled.

Chris flipped the TV off and met Phoebe near the stairs. "What's going on?" He asked.

"In the kitchen." Paige yelled.

Phoebe started walking to the kitchen as she explained the situation to Chris. "A demon attacked me as I was leaving work." She said.

"What's up?" Paige asked when Phoebe made it into the room. Little Wyatt fussed in his high chair, reaching for the bowl of food in Paige's hand.

"Demon attacked me as I was leaving work." Phoebe explained. "Where's Piper?"

"Mom's at the club. Something came up I guess." Chris replied. He turned his head quickly, almost as if hearing something in the distance. His mother's voice called out to him faintly.

"What, what is it?" Phoebe asked.

"Mom, something's wrong." Chris said, immediately orbing out as he did so.

Piper was crouched behind the bar of P3. She had a cut on her arm where an athame had grazed her. A shapeshifter had posed as one of her employees, claiming that there was a water leak in a back room of the club. It was in the back room that the shapeshifter showed his true colors and attacked Piper. Now it seems there was also another demon trying to weasel in on all the fun. He was hurling chairs and tables at the bar, trying to get her to come out from hiding. Every so often, she would peek her head around the bar and try to blow him or the shapeshifter up, but she would send out bolts instead and those didn't always last long enough to really do the demon harm. She remembered her pregnancy with Wyatt and all the craziness his powers had done to her own. Granted, she was practically invincible with Wyatt.

She called out to Chris as softly as she could. She would have called Leo, but she didn't' want to interrupt his meeting with the Elders and whoever else might have been there.

He orbed in next her and she quickly pulled him down behind the bar. "You ok, Mom?" He asked.

"Does it look like I'm ok?" She asked rhetorically. The demon reached over the bar, grabbing Piper under the shoulders and pulling her up and over. Chris grabbed her legs, trying to hold her back down. When that failed he orbed behind the demon and reached for a bar stool, intent on using it to knock the demon unconscious. He hadn't realized there were two demons though.

The shapeshifter came at him with his athame. Chris lunged sideways, trying to avoid getting stabbed. He hit the shapeshifter with the stool instead. Then, he practically tackled the other demon or tried to anyways. The demon let Piper free and kicked Chris with such force that he went flying backwards, slamming hard against the stage. He fell to the floor with immense pain in his chest. He felt like his ribs had been snapped like a twig. He could barely breath.

Piper reacted, trying to blow up the demon again. This time her power worked, but her aim had been slightly off. The demon lost his hand, but still managed to keep his life. He and the shape shifter took off before she had a chance to try a second time.

"Chris, are you ok?" She ran to him and tried to help him sit up, though each motion he made seemed to bring pain.

"I think my ribs are broken." He said in between breaths. He winced with each one he took.

"Leo, Leo." Piper called out as loud as she could.

Not a second later, he appeared and rushed over to them. "What happened?" He asked.

"A demon and a shape shifter. I think the demon broke Chris' ribs." Piper explained.

Leo put his hands gently on Chris chest, feeling for his ribs. "Ah." Chris winced.

"It's ok." Leo said. He raise his hands and started to heal Chris' ribs. "You're going to be fine."

Wyatt orbed in as Chris was being healed. "Where's Chris?" He asked in concern. Piper moved so he could get a glimpse of his brother sitting near the stage. Leo had just finished healing him. He glanced at his brother and stepped towards him. "Who hurt you?"

"Just some demon. He might be in the book." Chris answered. Leo helped him to his feet and they all orbed back to the manor.

"He seemed pretty strong though, look what he did to the club." Piper added in. The tables and chairs in the club were in total disarray. "He tossed those around like it was nothing."

"There was that shapeshifter too, came at me with an athame." Chris said.

"He got me first." Piper held out her arm. Leo immediately put his hand out to heal her. She looked at Chris. "You know, if it weren't for your little power affecting my powers, I probably could have defended myself a little better."

"Sorry. Mom." Chris replied.

She glanced around the club. "I open in two hours and my staff should be here any minute, what am I supposed to do."

"Ok, how about the boys go look through the book and I can stay and help you set all the tables back up." Leo suggested.

Wyatt and Chris passed a quick glance at one another and orbed out at the same time, both headed for the attic. It just so happened that Paige and Phoebe were already browsing the pages of the book.

"A Brute demon." Phoebe read. "Upper level demon with overwhelming physical strength." She stopped when she saw her nephews form before her.

"Hey." Chris said.

"Hey, we've got a Brute demon after us or after me anyways." Phoebe explained.

Chris walked over to the book and glanced on the page Phoebe had just read from. "He attacked Mom at the club. There was a shape shifter too."

"Is she ok." Paige asked.

"Yeah, she's fine." Chris answered.

"You said the shapeshifter had an athame?" Wyatt asked Chris and Chris nodded.

"The brute demon had one too when he tried to attack me." Phoebe said.

"Obviously, whoever is targeting the witches is targeting Charmed Ones now." Wyatt assumed.

"Damn it, can't we ever catch a break?" Paige said in frustration. "I guess we should get started on potions."

So, I kind of stopped in the middle of 'Witch Wars.' I lost my inspiration part way through. My muse is back though and I'm slowly getting some more written. Hope to post soon, but can't guarantee it. I've been busy lately...been helping my husband get things ready for his deployment in a few weeks. Anyways, comments are always appreciated. Thanks!
