Sorry for the long wait. I meant to have this up a long time ago but I had total writers block at one point.
Destiny Fulfilled
The sisters were able to cast a shield of protection around Melinda's baby. All worries aside, it was time to get down to business.
Melinda came back after doing some spying on the opposing side.
"Their powers, we can take. Persia is a deflector. Pam can freeze things, literally turn them into ice. If that were to happen to any of us and we shatter, we will die. So that power we need to look out for." Melinda explained.
"Yeah, I know. Phoebe and I were evil once and that's what my power turned into. It got pretty bad when I shattered Leo to pieces." Piper said.
"... Phoenix throws fire like Phoebe and I did in our past lives which makes sense since her name is Phoenix. She also has the ability to send visions as she sent Phoebe to set us up."
"We can beat that. We've beaten worst." Phoebe said.
"Yes but here's where we run into a problem. They know that, so they have a bunch of demons as back up."
"The bad guys never play fair." Phoebe said.
"If they can't beat us on their own then maybe they should stop trying to be us." Piper said.
"We need more power-" Melinda started before they were attacked by a half a dozen powerful demons. The demons didn't hesitate to attack as soon as they entered the room. The sisters first instincts were to duck since that was the only thing they had time to do. The next time the demons threw an attack, Piper blew up a couple and Phoebe and Melinda used their powers to use the demons powers against them but one survived and got away.
"Is that all they got?" Piper asked.
"They are really playing dirty." Phoebe said.

At the Russell apartment, the sisters were sitting around conspiring when the surviving demon showed up.
"Well?" Persia inquired.
"The Charmed Ones won. I'm the only one left." The demon explained.
"Leave us." Persia commanded.
"I told you that was a bad plan. They are The Charmed Ones, the most powerful witches of all time. Demons have been trying to defeat them for eight years, scratch that, they've been trying since before they were born and none have won yet. Sending demons to take them out, won't work. We may as well say, "Hey demon, you want to commit suicide?"" Pam said.
"I know that which is precisely why we're sending demons to do our dirty work so we're not the ones who get vanquished." Persia said.
"But we might be the only ones that can sort of go head to head with them. We're Warren witches too." Phoenix said.
"That's like plan... E, right now, we're on what? Plan C?" Persia started. "We want to take out The Charmed Ones, how about we try Zankou. I'd like to see them try to defeat him." Persia said.
"Hello! Don't be so power hungry that you make dumb ass decisions. We want to lead the underworld. If you unleash Zankou and he takes out The Charmed Ones, we'll be next on his list. I don't think so. The source put him away for a reason." Pam pointed out.
"Point taken." Persia said.
"So what's next?" Phoenix asked. A grimace smile came across Persia's face.
"The brats." Persia said.
"They have them hidden away somewhere we can't find them." Pam said.
"That's why they're going to come to us." Persia smiled.
-v-
"We need some kind of help. If they have all of the underworld backing them up then we need backup too." Phoebe said.
"Help like what or who?" Melinda asked.
"We're the most powerful witches of all time. We need more power and us aside who are the most powerful witches ever?" Prue asked.
"DeDe, Wyatt and Chris?" Phoebe asked.
"... Oh well technically but that's not what I meant. Warren witches. The Warren line is still the most powerful Iine of witches, hence why we're the most powerful so what we need is some relatives to back us up." Prue finished.
"So you think we should just call on the spirits of the Warren witches?" Phoebe asked.
"No. What if we come up with a more powerful spell that can allow them to fight by our sides literally?"
"Is there that much power in the world that could pull that off?" Melinda asked.
"Maybe not when there were three of us but now there's four." Piper said.
-v-
Meanwhile at Magic School, the kids were down for their naps. Wyatt and DeDe both had nightmares of their mom and aunts being in trouble, or so they thought they were nightmares but they were actually a twisted vision of the future that Phoenix sent. The Russell sisters used a spell to appear in their dreams to convince the twins to go to them to help their mom and aunts.
Wyatt and DeDe woke up.
"Mommy's in trouble." Wyatt said.
"Let's go help." DeDe said.
The twins held hands and orbed out.
-v-
The spell was finished so the Charmed Ones chanted until they saw white lights in front of them. Three bodies appeared in front of them, the first indicator that the spell had gone wrong.
The three new women in the room were quickly panicked.
"Ah! Patty?" Penny exclaimed and clutched her chest. "I need to sit down." Patty had a seat on the couch in the attic.
"Mother? Are you alright?" Patty went to her mother's side.
"Where am I?" The other woman asked.
"Who is that? Have we seen her before?" Melinda asked.
"She, little sister would be your name sake, Melinda Warren." Phoebe replied. "And it looks like my spell went terribly wrong. I must be losing my touch. I'm writing rookie spells." Phoebe went over to Melinda Warren. "Don't panic, okay? We can explain everything."
M. Warren, Penny and Patty all sat on the couch while the sisters explained.
"You are all in the future, 2006 to be exact. Obviously, you all can't know too much but what you have to know right now is, we are the Charmed Ones." Phoebe explained.
"So you're my girls all grown up." Patty said.
"Yes." Piper said.
"But there's four of you." Patty said.
"Yeah, I'm Melinda. We found each other a few years ago."
"All four of you are together, that's wonderful. Mom, isn't that wonderful?"
"Prue isn't here." Penny said.
"I'm Prue."
"No you're not."
"I am, it's a long story."
"Trust me Grams, it's Prue." Piper said.
"When did you all come from?" Phoebe asked.
"March 4th, 1998." Penny answered.
Piper, Phoebe and Prue looked at each other with the "uh oh" face.
"Wow... I'm from February 27th, 1978." Patty informed.
"That explains it." Grams said.
The sisters looked at each other again.
"December 15, 1692." Melinda said.
The sisters huddled together.
"I'm pretty sure it's a bad thing that they all came from the day before they died." Prue said.
"That wasn't supposed to happen. They weren't supposed to come through time. They're supposed to be dead in live form." Phoebe said.
"We better hope nothing happens to give Grams a heart attack a day earlier." Piper.
"Crap. Now what do we do?" Phoebe wondered.
"We'll make do. They just can't die before they get back to their time." Prue said.
"But how can they help us if we have to worry about them not getting killed in battle?" Melinda asked.
"They don't have to do much. They're back up. Think about it, Melinda Warren by our side doubles all our powers. Mom and grams are both bad ass witches. It'll be fine." Prue said.
"The only one I'm really worried about is Grams with that heart." Piper said.
"Why are we here?" M. Warren asked.
The sisters turned around.
"Well, we didn't intend to bring you all here, not like this anyway but since the spell backfired, we need your help." Prue said.
"You girls should really be more careful." Patty said.
"When did you girls get your powers anyway?" Penny asked.
"... 1998." Phoebe answered.
"Oh..." Penny replied, realizing that she must not have succeeded in her plan to stop them from getting their powers. She must have died before she had a chance. Then she realized M. Warren and Patty came from the day before they died so that must mean... "Oh."
"What could you possibly need our help with?" M. Warren asked.
"Why didn't you just go to mom and me in this time?" Patty asked.
The sisters didn't know how to break it to her.
"We're dead, my dear." Penny said.
"What?" Patty was shocked.
"Don't ask anymore questions. You don't want to know the answers." Penny said. "Continue."
"Well, Grams you remember Phyre Russell?" Phoebe asked.
"Of course." Patty said.
"She had a daughter and raised her evil. Then her daughter had three daughters and they're trying to make themselves the evil Charmed Ones by getting rid of." Melinda explained.
"It doesn't work like that." M. Warren said.
"That won't stop them from trying. Even if it doesn't work, they still have the satisfaction of killing the Charmed Ones." Piper said.
"What do you need us to do?" Patty asked.
"Back us up. We needed more power to compete with everything they had planned so we were trying to call on all the Warren witches for more power. They don't know that we know what they have planned. They won't be able to handle all of us. On top of that, I'm a wild card. They don't even know that they're going to be fighting four Charmed Ones and not three." Prue explained.
"Once we handle everything they throw at us, we'll take them on our own." Piper said.
"Grams, maybe you should sit this out and help us in a different way."
"I'll be careful. I promise. The most excitement I've had lately is your rebellion. Please tell me, you stopped stealing."
"What?" Patty exclaimed.
"I'm a good girl, Grams. I promise, you did a wonderful job raising us." Phoebe said.
"Good. I feel much better now."
M. Warren went over to the Book of Shadows.
"This has gotten so big." M. Warren said.
"Follow us and we'll fill you all in on the game plan." Piper said.
They all went downstairs to the living room and began filling them in on the plan when they heard...
"Mom." A familiar voice said.
They all looked up and saw two men and a woman. One of the men was Chris all grown up, the woman was DeDe so the other guy must've been Wyatt.
"Chris, Melinda... Wyatt?" Piper said.
"Hi mom." Wyatt said. "Grams!"
"Wait, I'm confused." Patty said.
"These are my children all grown up, from the future." Piper explained.
"Oh. How nice." Patty said with a big smile.
"What are you all doing here?" Piper asked.
"All of a sudden the future got all wacky and..." Chris started.
"Wyatt and I lost our powers. Our witch powers anyway..." DeDe orbed on the other side of Wyatt. "We can still orb and heal."
"You married a whitelighter?" Grams asked.
"You know what they say about apples and trees." Piper laughed. "But back to the problem at hand, what do you mean you lost your powers?"
"We just cast a spell to take us to when they were lost and the next thing we knew we were here." Wyatt said.
Leo orbed in with Chris.
"Leo. How did you get here?" Piper asked.
"Chris brought me... Hey, Penny, Patty, Melinda Warren... big Chris, De, Wyatt! Festive down here. Are little De and little Wyatt here?" Leo asked.
"No. Why would they be here?" Piper asked.
"Chris said they orbed out. I thought they probably missed you and orbed home."
"They didn't." Piper said.
"They must have them." Melinda said.
"Well we know they're alive but what do they want with their powers?" Phoebe wondered aloud.
"They want them for themselves. They figured out a way to take them and use them, I know it." Piper said.
"Who has us?" DeDe asked.
"Our evil cousins." Piper said.
"Oh." Wyatt said.
"I guess it's a good thing the underworld doesn't realize I'm part elder. I have powers they never even heard of." Chris said.
"Elder?" Grams questioned.
"Long story." Leo said.
"You and little Chris should go back to Magic School. I'll let you know when I find them." Piper said.
Leo kissed Piper.
"Chris, take us back to grandpa." Leo said and Little Chris orbed them back to Magic School."
"I'll go see what they're up to." Melinda said then used her power to spy on them from the spirit realm. She came back a little while later. "Our suspicions are correct. Wy and De are safe but they were crying because they can't come home. They saw me though and calmed down, they know we're coming for them."
"Chris, you think you can orb in and get them safely?" Piper asked.
"Yeah." Chris replied.
"Take them to your dad. We need to be ready because as soon as Chris gets them they'll be coming for us." Piper said.
Chris orbed out and came back a couple minutes later with toddler Wyatt and DeDe.
"I don't know how much time there it is before they show up." Chris said.
"Come on, let's get your powers back." Piper said. The sisters said a spell. "Did it work?"
"Let's see." Wyatt said then called for a magazine on the coffee table. "I'm back. What about you De?"
DeDe made a ball of water appear in her hand.
"Is that water?" M. Warren asked.
"Yeah. Just got this power last year. Cool huh?"
"You've all gone way beyond the powers I've given you." M. Warren said.
DeDe then turned the ball of water to ice.
"Now what are going to do with a ball of ice?" Chris asked. DeDe shrugged her shoulders.
"Outside." DeDe said and sent the ball outside.
"Now my hand is freezing." DeDe said then Chris took her hand and warmed it. "Thanks."
"My grand kids are powerful." Patty said.
"Yeah. I did not know you all could do all that. Chris why didn't you tell me you could do that warming thing?" Piper asked.
"Dad becoming an elder gave me powers I still have yet to discover."
"Ok. Let's get the kids out of here. The evil cousins could be here any minute." Phoebe said.
"I'll take them to dad." Chris said then orbed the toddlers out.
When Chris orbed out, a bunch of demons showed up. Immediately, the Halliwells began to fight back and vanquish but more just kept showing up. Suddenly, Wyatt blasted the demons across the room. Everyone finished them off.
"I'd hate to be the demons who have to fight you all in the future." Penny said.
"Believe me Grams, you haven't seen half of what we can do." DeDe said.
"Ooh. Tell me more." Penny said.
"We mustn't know much more about the future.
"Why not? It won't effect anything in my time. I'll just die happy." Penny said.
"Mom." Patty said.
"Mom, look out."Chris exclaimed from behind. Piper got out of the way then Chris blasted a demon with his electric bolt power.
"You think they have anymore coming? Prue asked.
"I don't know. How many demons are stupid enough to commit suicide?" Melinda said.
"A lot." Everyone said in unison.
"True but they've sent so many to us and not just today, there can't be anymore left." Melinda said.
"We wouldn't have been able to take on all those demons without all of you." Phoebe said.
"When they come, let us handle them on our own. It's our battle. It's the ultimate battle. We will win for the future of all things good." Piper said.
"We will win and we will be closer to utopia." Melinda said.
"My girls." Patty said.
"We're so..." Penny started.
"Proud." M. Warren finished.
Persia, Pam and Phoenix shimmered in.
"Well, well cousins. You sure are good." Persia said.
"Everyone go, now." Phoebe exclaimed. They all cleared out of the room.
"Family reunion I see. How sweet. Doesn't your sister-in-law want to skedaddle too before she gets herself killed?" Persia asked.
"Not an in-law, just a sister. The name's Prue and don't you forget it. Meet the power of four bitches." Prue said before she telekinetically threw all three of the Russell's across the room.
"First rule of battle, less talking more fighting." Phoebe said.
Phoenix threw fire Phoebe's way and Phoebe reflected it back at her. Phoenix was vanquished.
"No!" Pam exclaimed.
"Pam, focus!" Persia commanded then she and Pam held hands with a plan to make their power a bit stronger.
"Together we're united." Melinda said. The four of them held hands.
"The power of three will set us free. The power of four will bring amor." The four said before they projected their powers unto the last two Russell sisters then they were vanquished.
"We did it." Phoebe said. The sisters hugged. The rest of the family came back in the room and they joined in the hugging.
"You four are beyond my vision. I am so proud of what becomes of my descendants." M. Warren said.
"So you are THE Melinda Warren. This is cool as Popsicles. This is unbelievable." DeDe said.
"I'm going to go get the rest of the family. Could you three help me?" Melinda asked Chris, Wyatt and DeDe.
The four orbed off and came back a few minutes later with everyone else. It was still time to rejoice so they joined in with the hugging as well but the time for rejoicing still wasn't over.
An angel of destiny appeared to them in this moment of victory.
"Congratulations, you have all fulfilled your Charmed destiny." The angel said.
"Should we be here for this?" Darryl asked.
"Oh Darryl, you're all family." Phoebe said.
"She's right. Everything you have done for them was apart of your destiny too Darryl. You should be proud you played such a great part in the greater good. You all should be proud. You've made the world a better place and the future is not only brighter for your family, it is brighter for the world. It's not there yet but the world is closer to a utopia. Enjoy the fruits of your labor. You are all heroes and the unfortunate part about being a hero is sacrificing for the good of your fellow man. However, being on the side of good and following the light instead of the darkness has it's rewards." The angel held out her hand. A glow of lights appeared next to her then revealed a man which left Piper, Phoebe and Prue in great shock and surprise.
"Andy?" Prue uttered in disbelief. He smiled.
"Hello Prue."
"Andy has been a whitelighter for the past seven years. It was decided that in this moment when you all won your final battle as we believed you would then Andy would be returned to Prue and they would be free to be together if they choose." The angel explained.
Prue was in tears.
"Is this real? I get to live, be with my family and be with Andy, no strings attached?"
"It's real, my dear. It is your destiny." The angel said.
Prue cried harder.
"Congratulations. Enjoy your lives." The angel said before she disappeared in silver lights.
Andy hugged Prue tightly and the rest of the family followed suit all hugging each other again, overwhelmed in happiness.
A few years passed and the sisters decided to write for the future Halliwell's in the legendary Book of Shadows. Melinda wrote her entry first.
"Months after the battle, Jim and I had our first child, a beautiful daughter we named Halli Mary-Ann Clancy. Later we had a son and another daughter Warren Prescott C. and Peace Beth C..
The moment I found my sisters my life was changed forever, for the better. It gave me new purpose and new family. I am forever grateful for this life and that our children and our children's children will have a better future.
After my father Sam showed me the ropes of being a whitelighter, I followed my new destiny of being a whitelighter and guiding future witches and whitelighters."
Phoebe was the next to write.
"I didn't know the journey we would take after I read the first incantation in this book but through all the ups and downs, it was worth it. Many years I feared being alone but I was blessed with my lovely husband Coop and we were blessed to have three beautiful daughters, Patrice Victoria H., Pandora Hope H. and Parker Penelope H.
I continued to write my column, giving advice about love to the people of the city and was soon able to give advice to the country with my own talk show. That was my individual destiny, sharing advice about love to the people of the world. There's nothing more beautiful, nothing more important than love. It was my purpose to let the world know that. After all, we can never reach utopia without the understanding of true pure love."
"And I was finally able to get back to my roots of cooking and followed my dream of owning my own restaurant. Leo taught at Magic School until it was time to retire.
Our destiny was already set in place centuries ago when our ancestor Melinda Warren was born. She not only passed down her powers to every generation after her but her strength and her courage as well. Those attributes will continue to be passed down from our children to theirs. Because we had that strength and courage our children can live in a better world.
"As for me, I've had the hardest journey and I never thought I would find myself here right now. Not only am I here but I am here with my sisters and my wonderful husband Andy and our three daughters, Prima Halliwell Trudeau, Priscilla Andy T. and Payton Joanna T.. I've also found my passion for photography again. I won't take this second chance at life for granted for life is precious and every moment should be cherished. Our destiny has been fulfilled. We're a family of survivors and we will always be."
I hope you all enjoyed. I hope it wasn't too similar to the show. That really wasn't my intention. The last line was a direct quote from the show. I felt like it was important and fit.
Thank you all so much for reading. Thanks to everyone who commented and stuck it out with me this entire time.
