Chapter 6: Getting Down to Business
Henry, Mel, Carly, Patty. Ricky, and Emily appeared on a plane that looked like a something out of a country living magazine. There was an old antebellum style house complete with tall pillars. The landscape around it was covered in flowers and various plants kept in such a pristine state that it looked like Piper or Chris was in charge of it with their OCD. The plane was peaceful and quiet. It was too quiet in the opinion of the group they were expecting to see demon central but instead they got calm and collected. Which was bad very, very, bad it usually meant that the demons were up to something.
Henry led the group with a slight limp from the wound in his leg but he had to admit something about it just felt right like leading that band of Yankees had when the elders were testing him. He was a natural born leader but he rarely got a chance to show that because Wyatt was so damn controlling not that he would trade his cousin for anything in the world but he just needed to back off sometimes. "Hey all you guys keep your eyes peeled for demons I know that they are around here somewhere." he instructed as he began scanning the area for hostiles.
Carly rolled her eyes at her only brother he sounded just like someone out of a Steven Segal movie. "Do all men take a course on how to say things like that ?" she asked telepathically forgetting that Henry had Mel's powers so she didn't block him out.
Henry gave his oldest sister a seething look and said "First of all I can hear you. Second of all you sound like grams. And last but not least you need to pay attention to what is going on around you otherwise there could be trouble." His intelligent eyes scanned the landscape, he saw Ricky doing the same and he chuckled to himself the boy had listened to him. "Alright there is almost nothing going on out here. So we're going to go in the house be extra careful so we don't trip some kind of demonic trip wire. That would be very bad to say the least. Just let me lead the way." he instructed getting the nod he was looking for from each of them.
They all took up defensive postures as they followed behind their fearless leader. Emily was so close behind him that if he was to stop suddenly she would run into him. Mel was almost at his side but he kept her back. Patty and Ricky were side by side behind the rest of them so that they each could cover a side. Carly brought up the rear mumbling something about how her brother thought he was a military genius.
Wyatt, Chris, Prue, Jake, Chuck, Liz, and Lilly had also set off on their part of the plan they had the harder part so they had one more person for safety reasons. They were also fairing better or worse in the action department all depending on how you look at it. From Wyatt's perceptive he would say they were doing worse, but Henry would say that he was in better shape than him and the junior varsity squad at least the demons were showing themselves, his were hiding trying to ambush them.
The varsity squad however, had no shortage of demons as a matter of fact they were almost at the limit of demons they could handle. They had orbed into the apartment building where they had tracked Nevaeh to but it had been an ambush the only thing they could be thankful for was that there were no darklighters in sight.
Wyatt was throwing out energy blasts at any demon unlucky enough to cross his path but the problem was the demons just seemed to keep multiplying. He felt the familiar sensation of someone taping into his powers and he looked over and saw Liz throw a demon into the path of an energy ball using his telekinesis. She smirked happily when the demon blew up on contact. "Thank you Wy I'll love you forever." She said sweetly giving him a quick smile before focusing again.
Wyatt was momentarily distracted by her smile and had to react quickly to avoid being hit by an energy ball which he redirected back to it's owner causing the demon to howl in pain and blow up. "You're welcome Liz. Please give me a little warning the next time you want to use my powers. I just might be using them to fight demons Shane." He sent back sweetly sarcastic as he sent out another energy wave at a group of demons. He absolutely hated it when Liz tapped into his powers without telling him first. But then again what did he expect she and Lilly only had passive powers like his Aunt Phoebe.
"Halliwell you're about to have company on your two so be ready." Liz said warning him about the demon that was about to try to blind side him on his right side. Wyatt turned and easily took out the demon without much effort. He gave Liz a grateful look and turned back to his task.
Prue saw the exchange and rolled her eyes when they got out of this she was working her magic on them. But she couldn't worry about that for long a demon came rushing toward her and she had to throw a roundhouse kick that hit him squarely in the chest knocking him off balance long enough for her to throw a potion that sent him up in flames within seconds. She quickly recovered but she was caught off guard by a demon who grabbed her by the throat and began to choke her. She tried to yell out to one of the guys but she couldn't use her voice it would take away from her trying to breathe. "Jake I need some help little brother now if you don't mind." She bullied her younger brother who was the least busy with the demons at that second.
Jake felt a cold chill go through him when he got his sister's frantic message he immediately tossed an energy ball at the demon he had been fighting vanquishing it. "Don't worry Ladybug I'm on my way." He sent back sincerely knowing this was the only time he could get away with calling her ladybug. He quietly snuck behind the demon that had a hold on his sister and hit him with an energy ball right between his shoulder blades. Besides causing him to lose his grip on Prue and drop her the only thing the energy ball did was piss the demon off. "Oh, Oh that should have worked Prue we're screwed now." he yelled out frantically.
Prue tried not to panic but her only brother was right they were screwed they would have to double team that demon if they wanted to kill it. She thought back to the old tactics they used when they were kids and were wrestling with their dad. "Jake you hit high and I'll hit low." she ordered doing a good job of keeping the panic out of her voice.
Jake was keeping the demon at bay by throwing energy balls as fast as he could make them but he still turned to argue with his sister. "We always do it the other way around though Prue." he whined he was used to doing things the old way. His momentary lapse gave the demon time to turn on Prue again.
Prue glared at her brother she was going to kill him for picking right now to argue with her. She kicked the demon in the center of his chest with both her feet pushing him back into a wall and sending her to the floor. She quickly flipped herself up off the floor and took up her fighting stance using her tk to keep the demon against the wall for a while. "Jake that was how we did when we were like five and I was taller than you. You're taller than me now so you have to hit high I can't reach up there. Please just do it Jakie we can't argue right now." Prue begged sweetly trying hard to keep her hold on the demon.
"Fine," he huffed he had been right earlier when he said that the Halliwell women were stubborn to a fault "let him loose and we'll get rid of the bastard." he finished going to stand beside her as she let go of her hold on the demon who came rushing right at them. Jake levitated in the air and kicked the demon right in the face and Prue used a sweeping leg kick to take away his legs.
Jake threw more energy balls at the demon but he was not getting the desired effect he kicked the demon in the ribs just to keep him down. "Prue you could throw a potion any second now." he pleaded being his usual cocky self he thought he had no use for them and he had given his to Lilly.
Prue searched her pockets and found out that she had run out of potions. "I don't have anymore Jake use yours." she screamed at him knowing he most likely didn't have any that was the only point that she was willing to grant Grams was right on men were stubborn mules.
He looked sheepishly at her while still throwing energy balls. "Uh, I don't have any but I do have an idea make me mad. Say the one thing to me that you know will piss me off and do it quick." he said having a stroke of genius that he hoped would work otherwise they were royally fucked.
Prue didn't beat around the bush she went right for the one thing that she knew would both hurt and piss her brother off. "Jake we wouldn't be in this mess if you weren't so smug and arrogant like Cole and just carried your damn potions." she said regretting the words as soon as they cam out of her mouth she never wanted to hurt her little brother on purpose like that.
That did it for Jake he had been putting all his energy into forming a powerful energy ball and when Prue said what she did that set it off for him. He reared back his hand and threw the energy ball he had created at the demon vaporizing him instantly. Prue had a look of shock on her face he had just thrown a fireball. Jake just shrugged he was still not aware that what he thought were powerful energy balls were fireballs he thought she was just making a big deal out of nothing. "Thanks for listening to me for once in your life Prue you just helped me save our asses." he said helping her up off the floor and scanning the area for any stray demons but they were all being taken care of by their cousins and friends.
"You and I are so having a heart to heart when this is over Cooper." Prue said giving him a scowl that could freeze him on a hot day. She dusted herself off and let go of her brother's hand. He had been lying to her again and she was pissed after she had stood up for him with Wyatt but she would deal with him later.
"We'll talk I promise just don't tell mom and dad they'll worry." he said scratching the back of his head absently finding a spot of demon guts on the floor interesting. He was in trouble again and with his sister no less that was pretty damn lame if you asked him. But then again when wasn't he in trouble he was used to it trouble should have been his middle name not Jacob.
"It's a deal for now little brother." Prue said shaking his hand and then she gestured him over to help with the fighting. After this day was over they were all going to need a vacation.
Roman was a dead man and he knew there was no way the source was going to let him live after the discussion they had just had. Generally speaking when the bad guy tells you all his secret bad guy stuff he has no intention of letting you walk away without a fight. He was slightly shocked by the things he had just learned concerning the source and Ben. He had to think of a way to get out of there. Lilly was the obvious answer to his dilemma but she was busy and he was not risking her life just to save his. They were twins after all she would know that something wasn't right with him as soon as they finished what they had to do. He would die if they didn't get to him soon though damn cursed objects to hell anyway, he only had a few hours left. His one big regret was that he hadn't acted on his feelings toward Mel sooner now neither one would know what might have been his only hope was that she could move on and not wind up like Henry bitter against love after what the elders had done to him. Roman was pissed because now he would never get to be head chef at Charmed something he had worked so hard but maybe there was still a chance for him.
Henry and Ricky were both sitting with their backs up against a wall in mother nature's living room their chests heaving from physical exertion. "Demons are stupid." Ricky declared still trying to catch his breath after the ordeal they had just gone through.
"No demons are fucking morons." Henry panted out but then he remembered that mother nature was present and a gentleman didn't talk like that in front of a lady. "Forgive my language ma'am my Aunt Piper and my mom would kill me for not using my manners so I apologize I'm just a little stressed." he said politely Grams had been right he and Chris were perfect gentlemen when compared with Wyatt and Jake.
Mother nature gave him a broad smile showing off every single one of her white teeth. "It's quite alright young man I understand completely. I'm very thankful that all of you showed up and rescued me from those brutes." she said referring to the demons. Mother nature had long flowing raven hair, eyes as blue as the sky, and a deep tanned complexion that made her eyes sparkle.
The four girls stood up against a wall on the opposite of the room from the boys and mother nature. Patty watched Ricky with a worried expression she needed to make sure he was ok after his bout with that last demon. Mel normally would have been concerned with Henry's well being but she was too busy thinking about Roman every time she got a chance. Carly and Emily both looked bored now that the fighting was over since they knew the next part was not going to be fun they had to stay at the nunnery with mother nature. And to be fair the church wasn't exactly a nunnery it was the same place where Patty and Sam had dropped Paige off at after she was born.
"We gonna get this show on the road or what ?" Carly asked the boredom apparent in her voice and besides that they didn't have time for her brother to be sharing niceties with mother nature.
"Yeah Hank we should probably get going Chris is about to give me a headache with the way he keeps yelling for you. I don't know how you stand hearing voices in your head all of the time." Mel informed Henry while rolling her eyes at Carly.
"Just be glad you don't have Prue whining in your head right now she does that a lot." he informed her frankly. Henry gave mother nature one of his slow smiles so he could appear as charming as possible. "The girls are right we do need to get you somewhere safe. I'm going to need you to trust us." He said holding out his hand for her to take it.
Mother nature placed her small hand in Henry's larger one and gave him another smile. "Take me wherever it is you need me to be I trust you, you all saved my life." she said sweetly causing Henry to blush and get a goofy grin on his face.
"Ok I need you to go with Carly and Emily they'll keep you safe." he said turning her over to Carly and Emily who orbed with her to the church.
"So I guess we should go help out the others now." Ricky said getting to his feet.
"Yeah we should get us the fuck out of here Ricky." Mel said her and Patty going to stand by the two guys so they could teleport out.
Piper was nervous she paced back and forth in the kitchen the kids had been gone about an hour and she had no clue how they were or if they were hurt. She was more worried about Mel and the girls than she was the older ones. Mel had never been out demon hunting without one of her brothers being with her and that was only in case of extreme emergency. Piper didn't doubt that Henry was capable of keeping them safe he had done a good job of it all day but she still couldn't help but worry.
Derek was just as worried and frustrated as Piper was he didn't like the way he had left things with Chuck. The boy was stubborn something he had picked up from hanging around the Halliwells and it had only gotten worse with age. He was thankful that Ricky wasn't as bad as his brother Emily on the other hand was another matter she was worse than Chuck ever dared to be. Derek was pacing the side of the kitchen that Piper wasn't as if he hoped to wear a hole in the floor.
Phoebe was watching both Piper and Derek as they paced sure she was worried but no more so than she always was. She was thankful that only two of her kids were off on this vanquish instead of all them like Piper and Paige she couldn't imagine what they were going through. She would have been a nervous wreck if Penny and Val were off with them but instead she had left them on the mercy of Coop who was not very happy with either one of them at the moment. She let out a small sigh if only life as a Halliwell could be less complicated.
Paige stood at the counter and she heard the sigh that Phoebe let and Piper and Derek's pacing was enough to drive her crazy. Besides her Grams and her mom were the only two calm ones. Phoebe let out another sigh and that pushed Paige over the edge. "That's enough out of the three you. Do none of you have any faith that we raised the kids to know how to take care of themselves ?" she asked rhetorically getting the attention of the other three. "I'm worried too you know Henry shouldn't be off of that couch in there but he is. And God knows that the girls don't need to be involved in what's going on. But we just have to trust them. The worst part is Ricky and Patty are together I don't know if they can focus five minutes on the task at hand without staring at each other." Paige ranted getting a look of approval from Grams and Patty and looks of resignation from the other three.
Derek let out a sigh of his own and sank back down into one of he kitchen chairs. "Paige is right we have to trust that they know what they are doing and will come to us if they need help." he said laying his head on the table to push all his worst case scenarios out of his mind. Eva was going to kill him and he deserved it this time.
"Well if you ask me I still say that the part of the plan that involved the nunnery was pure and simple stupidity." Grams said rolling her eyes at the thought. She still couldn't believe that Henry had even suggested that.
Piper couldn't help but give her grandmother a withering look the kids were in danger and all she could think about was the safe simple part of the plan. "We get it Grams you don't like that part of the plan but you know as well as I do they had to do something with mother nature. Hell they could have pulled a Phoebe and sent her to Timbuktu because it rhymed with undo." she said wryly not in the mood for Penny Halliwells nonsense.
Phoebe colored bright red at that statement she made one little mistake twenty-six years ago and she never hears the end of it. "Hey I resent that it happened one time and I didn't see anybody else rushing to help me say a spell. At least I didn't take the book out of the house and turn myself into a dark headed version of Pamela Anderson." she shot back smirking smugly causing Paige to narrow her eyes at her middle sister.
"One time, one time I make a mistake and try to help out at the office and I have to suffer for it the rest of my life. And I was new to my powers then I might add Phoebe you had, had yours for awhile at the time." Paige defended herself and giving into her more childish impulse she stuck her tongue out at Phoebe. Phoebe returned the gesture and Derek rolled his eyes at the two.
"Pheebs she has you there she was just an overgrown kid she had an excuse you were supposed to be an experienced witch." Piper said wryly causing Phoebe to glare at her and Paige to roll her eyes.
"Don't make me and Grams have to separate the three of you." Derek threatened jokingly.
"Derek I wouldn't need your help to separate Piper and Phoebe I raised those two. But you could handle Paige for me she is a little too much like me for me to be able to deal with her alone." Grams said playing along if it got them to stop worrying and being crabby she was all for it.
Patty felt the need to jump in the mix herself she would do whatever her girls needed her to do to help them feel better. "Mom, Derek I won't have you two going after my girls like that," she said getting a grateful look from her daughters "I think that I can handle all three of them by my self." Patty giggled.
"Hank, Patty, Mel at least tell me you're here." They heard a voice from the other room call the voice was unmistakable it belonged to Victor Bennett.
Piper and Paige shared a look this was going to go over well with Grams. "We're in the kitchen dad." Paige called out partly because she was glad to see him and partly to piss Grams off.
Victor came walking into the kitchen a moment later a worried look on his face. Paige walked over to him and hugged him and that was totally to piss Grams off. "Hi daddy, what are you doing here ?" she asked laying it on thick causing Grams to glare at her.
Victor made the rounds with his other two girls and shook Derek's hand before he answered her question. "My granddaughter called and left me a message earlier that I just now got. She said that I should get to the manor ASAP that her, her sister and Mel needed my help because and I quote 'my precious favorite grandson was hurt.'. I thought Carly might have been laying it on thick, so what's wrong ?" he asked concern still clouding his face he worried about all his grandchildren. But he especially worried where Henry was concerned he was the son that Victor never had.
Paige rolled her eyes that sounded exactly like something Carly would say. But Patty chose to answer since she had been there all day. "Victor, Henry got shot with a darklighter's arrow." Patty began.
"What ? Is he ok ? Did someone heal him ?" Victor asked panicked he didn't know much about magic but he knew if any of his half whitelighter grandchildren got shot by a darklighter arrow it could be fatal.
"Don't worry Mel switched powers with him so she could heal him." Grams said and then seeing the confused look on Victor's face she said "Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to."
"Daddy they're all fine right now they just have one demon to take care of and they'll be perfect." Phoebe assured her father but they had put the kids on a two hour deadline before they came looking for them an hour of that was already gone. That's why they were starting to worry.
Jason and D.J. were exhausted they had been stacking sandbags for hours in the wind and rain. It looked like the storm was finally starting to let up a little. They silently prayed that whatever the Halliwells were doing to fix this mess that would hurry up and do it already.
"You know Morris when I joined the force I never imagined that I'd be doing things like this." Jason said as he threw another sandbag on top of the heap. He couldn't wait to go back to his apartment and get back to pinning away for Carly it was a good thing Henry wasn't around to hear his thoughts otherwise he would have killed him.
"And you wouldn't be if two cops by the name of Halliwell didn't work at the station." D.J. replied putting another sandbag on his side of the pile.
Jason was at a loss for words he didn't know what to say to that. "I'm just glad this storm is letting up whatever they're doing must be working." he said hopefully D.J. just looked at him and told him to keep stacking.
Chris landed hard on his ass a demon had thrown him through the air telekineticly before he had a chance to blast him or throw a potion. They were still battling demons in the abandoned apartment building and they had vanquished all of them except two. They had made quick work of the demons once Henry and the others had orbed in a started helping.
Wyatt barely flicked his writs and one of the demons instantly turned to ash. Again he could feel Liz tapping into his powers and the other demon was gone. "Liz I asked for a little warning before you did that anymore." he whined.
Liz rolled her eyes at him he could be such a baby sometimes. "Wy it wasn't a big deal you were done with the other demon so I figured that it would be ok." She explained to him like he was a small child that he acted like sometimes.
Chris rubbed his ass as he got up off of the ground he would have a bruise later for sure. "Ok we regroup now. Who needs healing ?" he asked getting down to business this day couldn't end soon enough for him. By some sort of miracle no one's injuries were severe enough to warrant healing with the exception of Hank who was waiting on his mom to heal his leg for him.
"So do we even have an idea where this demon bitch is ?" Chuck asked sounding worn out he just wanted to go home and spend time with Prue.
"See that's why you guys brought me along for the ride," Lilly said as she pulled a crystal and map out of the cargo pocket on her pants. "I brought the stuff to scry with." she laid the map out on the floor and let the crystal circle it until it fell. A confused look crossed her face and she said "Uh, guys I think we have a problem she's here still." when Lilly looked up she saw the titan entering the room with a demon that had a hood covering his face.
For Roman it was no longer a question of if he would die but when would death come for him. He felt himself growing weaker by the second he no longer held out hope of his sister coming to find him he knew that this was his end. It was a shame there were so many things he still wanted to do but maybe if he pushed himself not to give up yet he just might make it. There was nothing keeping from walking out of that cavern the source didn't even have any guards posted. But the only problem with that for him was he had no way of getting out of there on his own.
"Come on think Roman there has to be a way out of this for you." he admonished himself. But his mind continued to draw a blank. He had to get out and warn them what the source was up to otherwise they would end up playing right into his hands. He knew his friends too well he knew what they would do if something happened to him and he didn't want them to get themselves killed over him.
He couldn't think of that thought if he wanted to hang on even for a little bit he had to find something else to occupy his thoughts. So he shifted his thoughts to Mel , he worked hard to recall the details of her face and the expression on it when they had made love for the first time. That seemed to do the trick it put him in a good place one where he could hang on.
Gorgon sat on his throne he didn't really care for the current plan he was having to use but Ben had left him no other choice he didn't really want to have to kill Roman but it had become necsecary to do just that. And there it went again his conscience getting the better of him if he could find a way to vanquish it he would but he had tried everything to no avail he was still plagued by it.
"My liege would you like me to finish off the gypsy now ?" Ken asked as he shimmered into the throne room.
"No not yet wait awhile," Gorgon ordered and then an idea hit him and his mouth twisted into an evil smile "as a matter of fact I have a better way for you to go about doing it." he continued.
Ken nodded his head in acceptance of that order and said "I stand at your orders my liege."
Henry Mitchell couldn't believe his good luck after the tough day he had, had at the office he got to come home to a quiet house a little too quiet for his liking. He drew his gun just in case someone he could take care of was lurking in the shadows of his home. So he was surprised when someone he hadn't laid eyes on in twenty-one years stepped out of the shadows of his kitchen.
"Good to see you Harry." Simon Thaddeus Reginald Marks said by way of greeting.
No, no, hell no this couldn't be happening to him again especially after the day he had. His wife's old suitor couldn't have showed up after all those years wanting to duel him again. He stood slack jawed for a moment he wanted nothing better than to punch the son of a bitch in the face but he couldn't his temper was getting him in trouble lately. "What do you want Simon ?" he asked exasperated his whole peace and quiet had just been blown to hell.
" I was actually looking for Paige, Harry. I wanted to see if I could get her to change her mind about us." Simon said simply he was still hung up on him and Paige making the perfect couple.
Henry grew indignant at this like his son he despised being called Harry. "Look I told you once Paige is my girl you need to back off. And you need to stop calling me Harry I hate it. And most important of all we have kids together she would never leave us for you." Henry raged really trying to keep his temper from reaching Piper like proportions.
"And as I've said countless times we are meant to be together whether she is your girl as you so crudely put it or not." Simon informed him grinning and helping himself to a seat at the kitchen table.
Henry let out an angry sigh and threw his hands in the air loving a woman shouldn't have to be this hard. "Then I hate to tell you this but she is my wife and my children's mother. So if you want her you're going to have to fight me for her. Or even better yet you can have her tell you all this herself she is most likely at her sister's house." Henry said growing tired of dealing with this clown.
Simon stood up from his chair and placed a hand on Henry's shoulder. "Very well Harry we'll do it your way." He said and orbed them to the manner before Henry could voice an objection.
"You think, Lilly, you think we have a problem ?" Jake asked his girlfriend incredulously as he stared at the demon who was very source like in appearance and the woman who was without a doubt the titan that they had come to vanquish.
"This is so not the time for you to be getting into it with your girlfriend Jake you need to focus." Mel said at a loss with what to do so she stuck close to Chris.
They could see nothing of Ben's face if they could they would have seen the evil grin that came to his face. "She's right you don't have time for that but I really do wish you good luck in trying to vanquish me and Nevaeh ." he said taking a step towards Patty.
That was enough for Hank he flicked his writs in an attempt to blow him up but nothing happened. He thought nothing of it however because not only were his powers new but he had traded with Mel. "Uh Mel, Chris, Wy. A little help." he said calling on all of his cousins who could blast the guy that should have worked.
Wyatt and Chris both had a look of concentration on their faces and they both raised their hands and managed to blast Ben back. Mel raised her hands to try to blast Nevaeh but she was pushed back when the titan sent a stream of water her way.
Jake and Chuck both went to work on Ben throwing energy balls at him as fast as they could make them. But he didn't seem to be phased by them. Sure they beat him back a bit but other than that they were doing no damage to him.
Ben eyed Jake up and down the disgust he felt with him would have been apparent on his face if they could see it. "You don't look like much of a demon to me no wonder you're good. You wouldn't last five minutes ruling the underworld like your father before your mother has corrupted you." he sneered at him.
Oh this is just great. Chuck thought to himself that was all he needed was for this demon to set Jake off by talking about his mother corrupting him with good and comparing him to Cole. He was sick of everyone always making fun of him and Jake for being half demon, Henry Jr was the only one who could get away with calling either one of them demon boy because coming from him it was a term of endearment. Chuck had seen Henry and Prue both personally kick the ass of a student at Magic School who had said something about Jake being a demon. "Hey dick, first of all don't talk about my Aunt Phoebe like that. Second off don't talk to Coop like that." Chuck growled out sounding exactly like his father. While he wasn't related to any of the Halliwells he had grown up calling them aunt and uncle he wasn't about to change now that they knew about him and Prue.
Ben laughed at this statement not because it was funny but to further enrage Chuck and Jake. "All you half breeds are the same just one little word to remind you that you're half demon and you freak out." he said his full attention on Chuck so he never noticed that Jake had created a fireball and lobbed it at him knocking him to the ground.
"Just be glad a little energy ball is all you got nobody talks about my mom that way," he spat out and then he threw another energy ball at him. "And that was for insulting Chuck." he finished punctuating his words with another energy ball causing Ben to flame away and leave the titan to fight her own battle.
Chuck and Jake just looked at each other and shrugged. "I have this sick feeling that we haven't heard the last from him." Chuck said as they went over to help the others.
"Of course we haven't Chuck our lives can't ever be that simple." Jake agreed surveying the scene to see if their was anything he could do to help.
Prue and Lilly were both picking themselves up off the ground where they had been thrown by a stream of water coming out of Nevaeh's hands. They were both soaking wet and pissed off. Wyatt and Liz were distracting the demon so Chris could get up behind her and make his move.
Nevaeh was beat and she knew it but if she fought hard enough she might have a chance to at least get away. There was no way any demon could combat the next generation alone they were very powerful.
Liz kicked her legs out from underneath her and when she got back to her feet Wyatt began using his telekinesis to cut off her air supply. "Now would be good Chris and get mother nature here Hen." Wyatt said impatiently his tone carrying over even though he hadn't said the words out loud.
Chris let loose with a blast of lightening coming from both hands immediately the demon began to writhe in pain. Wyatt let loose of his hold on her and began helping his brother by adding his energy blast to the mix.
At that moment Carly and Emily orbed in the building with mother nature. Nevaeh was in her final throws of death and an instant later she exploded leaving only a black mark where she used to be.
A golden glow surrounded mother nature and a peaceful look came to her face. "Everything is as it should be. I can't thank all of you enough for everything that you did." she said smiling at all the young people in the room before disappearing .
The brave front that Henry had put up all day had slowly began to crumble and he fell to the floor in pain. Now that he knew it was all over he could seriously focus on himself. "Ok I hate to rain on this parade we did good but I need to get home so my mom can heal me and I would really like to have my powers back." he said through clenched teeth to ward off some of the pain.
Chris took pity on him and went over to him "Sure thing Wy, I'm going to orb him home make sure all the girls and Ricky get back." he ordered his older brother who nodded his head in agreement. And with that acknowledgment Chris orbed them both out.
After the two middle Halliwell boys had orbed out Liz asked what was on everyone else's mind. "Jake just who the hell was that you and Chuck were fighting ?" Neither one of them knew the answer to that question but they would soon find out. They just shrugged for the moment however.
