"Well, wouldn't we just need to sweep east to west to correct this little snafu?" Blake asked.
"No, it was done in a ritual. And even if we did the entire ritual correctly now Andras still crossed over, it wouldn't change the circumstances" Warren said.
"Well then we have to get the Halliwells back together. Then we go after Andras as a team" Bianca said.
"Great idea, let's just get the nine very powerful, very feuding cousins to kiss and make up. I'm pretty sure getting the Elders to think of us as 'good' would be an easier conquest" Blake said looking at Bianca.
"True it's not going to be easy, but do you have a better idea. I mean the three of us could go after Andras ourselves, but then we still have the gang fighting with each other" Bianca stated.
"Going after Andras ourselves isn't a bad idea" Warren said. "Then we could focus on getting everyone to make up, and maybe even vanquishing Andras will do that."
"Alright then let's go after him ourselves. Then we will help the others" Blake said.
"I'll get started scying for him. Do you think you could maybe try and sense him demon to demon?" Warren asked Blake.
"Yea I can try I just hope his being dead thing doesn't interfere" Blake responded.
"I'll get started on a vanquishing potion" Bianca said as she went over to the potion pot.
About an hour later Bianca finished the vanquishing potion and Blake had given up on the demon sensing demon thing, he figured since Andras was technically dead it wasn't working.
"I think I found him" Warren said as the crystal dropped on the map.
"It looks like he is in an alley. Ok Warren, hang back at the top of the alley, Blake and I can go undercover more easily with demons. Have the potion ready incase he tries to run out of the alley. If he shimmers out you come back here and Blake and I will follow him as he will probably go into the underworld" Bianca said to the two.
"No Bianca, they are my friends too, and I can't just stand by and do nothing" Warren said.
"Warren no offense but you are just a kid ok. Plus Andras seems to only be able to make witches angry with each other and although I am technically a witch, I don't think his power will work on me" Bianca told him. "It is just best if you hang back, if Blake and I need you, we will call for you and then yea orb in save us, but if we can handle it there is no sense in putting you in danger."
"Ok fine, but the minute something goes wrong I'm helping you two" Warren said.
"Guys we should get going before he starts moving" Blake said grabbing his potion vials from Bianca.
The trio left the Manor in shimmers and orbs. Warren listened to Bianca and appeared hidden behind a dumpster near the top of the alley. Bianca and Blake shimmered near Andras.
"So what's going on here?" Bianca asked with a devilish grin.
"Who are you?" Andras asked.
"I'm Blake and this is Bianca" Blake said as he extended his hand out towards Andras.
"What kind of demon shakes hands?" Andras asked as he eyed Blake up and down.
"Nice going" Bianca whispered to him.
"I see no point in not being friendly, just looking for some excitement on Halloween and all. We sensed a great power from this alley that's why we sought you out. And I'm a manticore by the way" Blake stated.
"But you look human? You both look human" Andras said.
"Well I'm actually half manticore, they tried breeding with humans to make the offspring look human so they could blend in up here and create an evil strong-hold. And she's a Phoenix" he said pointing to Bianca.
"A Phoenix, well I defiantly have a use for you" Andras said as he inched closer to Bianca.
"You think so. Well before I do anything for you, I want to know what your plan is first" Bianca hissed.
"Of course. Well almost thirty years ago I was vanquished. Not by a witch though but by another demon, you two may be too young to know about this demon but his name was Balthazar. He was a powerful demon, but he fell in love with a witch, one of the Charmed Ones. Have you two heard of the Charmed Ones?" Andras asked.
"Who hasn't heard of the Charmed Ones?" Bianca spit out.
"Well, if it wasn't for that damn witch Balthazar wouldn't have betrayed me, or the underworld, and I would still be alive! I may not be able to take revenge on Balthazar, but I do plan on taking revenge on the Charmed Ones by destroying their children" Andras stated.
"How do you think you're going to do that?" Blake questioned.
"Well I have already disempowered them by getting them to use their magic against each other. There is a prophecy telling about a power stronger then the power of three. I believe these witches have the power of 3x3 and if they do their destiny is to put the eternal battle forever in good's favor. If I vanquish them tonight then they cannot fulfill their destiny and I will be named the new Source for stopping it. I am preparing to send my men after them shortly" Andras said.
"Men, what men?" Bianca asked.
"Demons from the past that I helped cross the veil, I fed on the Halliwell's rage and it gave me enough power to create an army" Andras said as he waved his hand and the demons and dark lighters he pulled through the portal earlier appeared.
"Oh well it seems you already have your army, we were kind of looking for a duet kind of job, you know like a Mr. and Mrs. Smith arrangement" Blake said backing up.
"But with a Phoenix and a human looking demon, you two will be most helpful" Andras said.
"Thanks for the offer but we have other ideas" Bianca said as she through the vanquishing potion at Andras. There was a cloud of smoke, but once it dissipated Andras and his followers still stood.
"Was that a vanquishing potion? That may have worked on me earlier tonight, but after all that rage and anger, I am not the same demon that crossed over that veil" Andras said with an evil smirk.
"Well then sorry, our bad, well just be on our way" Blake said as he tried to shimmer out only to be hit by an energy ball.
"Not so fast half-breed" the Lazarus demon said as he prepared another fireball. "You two aren't going any where."
"Like hell" Bianca said as she conjured an athame and threw it at the Lazarus demon who went up into flames and then went poof into a pile of dust.
"Very impressive, too bad the only way Lazarus demons stay dead is if their ashes are buried in a grave yard" Andras said as the Lazarus demon reformed.
"Alright we will have to do this the hard way" Bianca said as she readied an energy ball of her own. She threw it at one of the dark lighters who black orbed out of the way before it hit him. As the dark lighter orbed out Warren orbed in to help.
"Warren get out of here there are dark lighters" Blake said as he dodged a fire ball. Good thing he got that manticore speed.
"I said I would help if you guys needed me and you guys need me" Warren said as he sent back an arrow with his telekinesis. The arrow hit a dark lighter and he went up in flames.
"We have to get back to the Manor and get the gang's powers back, that's the only way we are going to beat Andras" Bianca said as she conjured another energy ball.
"True, but we can take out some of his lackeys in the process" Blake said as he fired an energy dart at a drone demon. Blake knew that energy darts were less powerful than energy balls, but they still inflicted major damage.
"Blake can you give us a distraction to get out of here?" Warren asked as he redirected a fireball.
"You got it" Blake said as he watched Warren and Bianca cover their ears. Blake then let out a very high pitched manticore scream and while the demons and Andras were covering their ears Bianca and Blake shimmered away as Warren orbed out back to the Manor.
