ACT 5 FLIGHT OF THE RAVENS

Prue and her daughter were reunited, Ciel came to accept the truth not so hard, well a little at first but she long to know her real parents and she's so happy about it, but still the relationship between Prue and her and her aunts are still working out gradually. Legally she is now Larken Ciel Halliwell. Yet their new demonic problem is far from finish, Adult Chris still stays, as long as The Ravenous isn't entirely wipe out.

------

THE MANOR

Prue was fixing her daughter before she go to school just waiting for the school bus to arrive. They heard the service honks, Ciel gave her mom a kiss and Prue watch her from the door until she made her ride. The first witch still on her pajamas headed to the kitchen for coffee on her favorite table. She got her self a sandwich and some cereals.

"Good morning" Piper greeted she was in her robe along with Leo, Prue greeted them back.

"Enjoy being a mother?" the second witch on her

"Well yeah, much, is that it was an instant, didn't got into some diapers and stuffs like that, I was already teaching her about home works and magic control"

"Been teaching her so early, huh,…Leo, Wyatt would be late for preschool, go fix him first" Piper wide eyes on her hubby, Leo complied

"Whoa, Piper the meek sister a superior wife" Prue cracks

"Look who's talking, I learn from you" Piper pulled a chair and joined Prue on the table "This week is pretty normal?"

"Still, Ciel at least knew how to control her self I started training her on that before she could go reckless and cause us trouble, and hopefully she's doing fine"

"Speaking of trouble, we still have a major one hanging around, I mean The Ravenous, they've been sitting pretty lately quiet and it makes me real nervous of what would their next move be, Chris have been really bothered about it" Piper said

Prue sighs then "Actually, I'm tracking them as of late, and found no sign yet, got lot of things to deal with, parenting, job, witchcraft and ninja" Piper wonders at her, the eldest witch added "I'm still practicing as much a I can whenever I can, these skills have been so helpful, it gave me advantage"

Piper sips a glass of water "Advantage? You sure have a lots of power boost"

"Truly, shinobi skills are useful both as offensive and defensive techniques something that our kind of demons don't know about"

Piper shrugs "Why don't you tell me lot of these shinobi things of yours"

An idea went to Prue "Hey! Why not I share with all of you, what I learned from Konoha, Phoebe would be lot enhance in her martial arts and Paige and you"

Piper grins "I think I love being a witch, and I just prefer to eat sushi's and ramen"

The sisters crack jokes unto each other

------

Few hours later, Phoebe and Prue at the basement practicing taijutsu, Phoebe is so eager to develop her martial arts skill as well as her psychic prowess and Prue is just happy teaching her.

She and Phoebe have been sparring and lecturing the third Halliwell of a very lethal fighting style.

Phoebe wiping the sweat on her forehead "this is really hard and it drains a lot of me"

"There's always a first time, but you'll get the hang of hit or let's just call it off"

Phoebe stared at Prue then "Are you kidding? I like this stuff! I mean a witch and a ninja at the same time, I rock on the block!" she giggles "And you've really got into it huh….." Phoebe fanning herself

"Not bad for you, you're a quick study" said her eldest sister

"I think I'm starting to get into it and that chak..chak…chakra thing, it sounds cool and very useful, no wonder you do have lots of tricks in you"

Prue made turning serious "OK, let's resume". The first and the third resume their sparring.

ATOP GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE

Chris is busying his self sensing demons that might lead him to the Ravenous, his concentrating so hard, but he sensed none. There after someone orbs in behind and materializes to Andy

"Working all these alone?" his soon to be Uncle ask

Chris turns to face him "You wouldn't let me join you, so I made my own team"

"A team of two…." replied Andy "Come on, Chris it's not that I don't want to, I understand why you're here and you have a mission" the inspector smiles

The young lad cheered up, Andy told him "That's why I'm here, you, Cole, Billie and The Charmed Ones, I believe where all in these together" Andy and Chris orbed out

UNKNOWN

Harphas waves his hand in the air and out come a darklighter waiting for the order from his master, Harphas said "there are two whitlighters that's been bugging me and I presume you know what I mean, one of whom is a spiritual detective, but still they're vulnerable to your weapons" he waves his hand and appeared a picture of Chris and Andy, the darklighter memorizes them well. "Now GO!" the dark guardian exited in black orbs.

Another member of The Ravenous blurred in, Harphas stares.

"The witches are on pursuit, the target is guarded heavily" Taroth said

"You've decided to go by yourself, how impressive" Harphas pace

"I do have some ways sneaking safely into the witches, especially when the oldest is far behind, I can't afford being caught"

Scotoha shimmers in, along with Strato, Rackoon and Cranston

"I'm please to hear what it is you've found about Taroth" said Scotoha

"There's another child, a first born indeed from the first born Charmed witch and she seem more powerful than our target" said Taroth

"I see, that's why Audrina went after her, but getting her is highly risky, especially being the daughter of Prue Halliwell, even Gabriel the lord of war failed to conquer the first born witch, but I'm fascinated of her child"

"Does it mean we change our target?" Rackoon ask

"NO! But I think I just know what we do next"

SOMEWHERE IN SAN FRANCISCO

Paige tackles two demons harming an innocent, she just came barely in time, but enough for the innocent to run and survive, she telekinetically orb those demons yards away, then runs near them and she threw a potion and they explode.

THE MANOR (pass 5 pm)

All four sisters in the living room, spending time together and discussing there lives for the past weeks

"This is way much better always, no demons to talk too" Phoebe remark

"Well yeah, but since you already mentioned it, we gotta work that problem out, who knows what comes next" Prue said

"Thanks for bringing the issue on the table…" Piper thought to herself on Phoebe's words, as much a she wants, she doesn't want any evil discussion as of right now, she just enjoy their sister affair, yet she feels nervous and knowing that Prue is always on the go when it comes to taking down fiendish intruders of theirs.

"All right, Once in a while Andy informs me and Piper about underworld updates, and I assume Cole also do so, Phoebe…(she nods) and Paige how's it on your league?"

"Still the same, darklighters and low level demons preying on my charges, but thankfully I could still take care of it"

Prue gave a positive nod "Good! And as always we should all keep our guards up, they could just be somewhere waiting a chance to strike when we least expect it, and that's why I want you to be alert"

"Hey! Why, don't we use the to hear a thought spell that way we can… you know like before" Piper suggested

"Yeah, but that adventure almost got me" Phoebe reminded

"We wont repeat with that, the best thing is to have a strong sensing skill, I mean you've been battling demons for eight years now…"

"Just five years for me…" interrupted Paige, Piper and Phoebe making faces on her

Prue grins "Just three years is all I got… anyway going back to that topic, since we don't know this type of demons, we need to come up with something"

"Just what do you mean by that?" Piper ask

"To be frankly honest, I don't know…. yet, but that's what we have to work for" she winks

"Great, we start from scratch again" Paige said

-----

Andy, Cole and Chris have joined together hunting demonic agents working for The Ravenous. In an unknown vicinity, Chris have knock two demons he just spotted, Cole shoots another one with his energy balls and Andy dodging darklighter arrows while counter attacks on his shotgun.

Soon more than half-dozen dark minions shimmered in, Cole, Andy and Chris run separate ways as fireballs blasted them simultaneously, Andy jumps and dives below a blast he crawled for some seconds and shoot the demon and the other they both burst. Cole meanwhile shimmering in and out, using his atheme stabbing his enemies. Chris using his telekinetic orbing throwing these creeps as he orbs out avoiding darklighter arrows, he orbs from behind and stab his dark counterpart and called for a fireball coming at him to blast the other demon. Andy running while firing and he got two of them. After they nailed all of these evil hordes, the trio stood gazing around and found only ashes of the remains, Cole fixing his suit, Andy wiping some sweat out his neck and Chris feels a little tired, they were so please and little by little they gather something informative, there after they all left.

THE MANOR

At the attic, Phoebe got the hang of learning some taijutsu that Prue thought her and she was even fascinated by The Konoha Shinobi from Prue's stories. She then thought to make a spell about it

Thinking of some rhyming words while writing on a pad paper until she finished it,

"There you go" as she checks it first, reading with her eyes

"From worlds to worlds

I chant upon these words

Grant unto me the ability

Of a great Konoha Shinobi"

But suddenly she heard someone coming up at the attic, she quickly fold the piece of paper and hid underneath her pocket

"What are you doing?" ask a curious Piper

Phoebe pretended "Ah…well…uhmmm… just searching…. These demons who could be a possible members of The Ravenous"

"Searching members of The Ravenous" Piper with a little doubt "We don't even know or saw how they look, except only the description that Leo and Chris and Cole told all of us"

"You….re… right, but (she stirred a laugh) I better help Prue out of it" She nods

Piper looks around then back "OK, I'll be downstairs, I cooked some Japanese cuisines which our big sister requested, why not come join us, dinner would be up in five minutes" then walks out

Phoebe extending her head to check out if Piper already made her total exit, before she resumed her work, she felt like starving and decided to join her sisters for dinner.

-----

At the sun room Ciel is playing board games with her aunt Paige and little Wyatt, and the three seems to be enjoying dearly, Paige being adopted can relate much to her niece, they were cracking giggles and jokes while playing, Prue just stood by the entrance in between the dining watching her daughter and her youngest sister passionately. Piper went and stood beside her

"They all look so cute, even the older one" the second witch laughs and so is the first

"That's a Halliwell trait" answers Prue

"If I could only freeze this moment forever"

Prue turns to her and snaps "Thanks for the idea" she look by the stairs and the couch beside it, she remembers her stuffs she laid there earlier, and just opened her palm in the air, a camera went floating in her hand and she sets it then suddenly turns to Ciel, Paige and Wyatt and did a stolen shot

"Great idea, another memories in our album" Piper remarks

------

A little later, Prue told her daughter to take her rest now, since she has a school to attend tomorrow, Piper did the same to Wyatt and the two eldest sisters had their children kissed Aunt Phoebe and Aunt Paige good night, their Aunts are as happy as they are. After catering them to sleep and fixing their covers, Prue and Piper went downstairs and join Phoebe and Paige. The four of them at the round glass table by the sunroom and each having a cup of coffee for the night while discussing supernatural affairs

SOMEWHERE IN SAN FRANCISCO (pass 10 pm)

A couple walking the streets, passing store shops and boutiques as they move further and passed through a park, someone called them, a guy running who seems to be injured, the couple dared to help the guy, when they assisted them and ask it they are all right, the guy suddenly regained his self and smiled devilishly as he choke the two person on both hands, the man and woman glowed in yellow and they die, after which the man looks around and saw no witness he back to the bushes and shimmers out.

NEXT DAY

Prue and Phoebe continuing their sparring by the basement, then afterwards they were sparring at the sunroom, Phoebe really is a quick study. Piper saw them and was shock; her eyes can't fully catch up every detailed hits. She just stood there watching. The next thing she does, she handed cold orange juice to her sweating sisters.

Chris orbs in and greeted everybody, all eyes on him and he needs no words to know what they all mean

"No sign of The Ravenous lately, their really subtle and discreet as of the moment, but again there was another innocent victim last night and of course a demon is behind this, but don't worry Billie is taking care of it right now"

"Billie, alone with this?" his mom ask

"Not really, I'm aback up just in case she call and I stay a watch"

"Too confident of you huh,…" Phoebe snaps

Prue spoke "Hey Phoebes, let's take this stuff to some application"

"I just love when it comes to the actual point" Phoebe replied with an edge

The first and the third stood up and walks their way to change outfits

Piper hands on her waist and watches their backs "Don't you have some paycheck and bills to worry about first"

Phoebe without looking behind and raises her left hand "I'm done with all columns for two weeks straight and fax some journals, it'll just be killing time for me"

"Literally we will" adds Prue and they rushed to fix themselves

Piper turns to Chris slight upset "And you will join them….OK.. what else can I do?"

SOMEWHERE IN SAN FRANCISCO

Billie doing her witch job after her school works, she's gone hunting the culprit at last night's murder, she scryed for it and landed on a shop by a mall, while walking by passing people she scans every direction figuring her target demon, she keeps walking until she reaches the exit door directly to an empty street.

She keeps treading the street, and took out offensive potions from her shoulder purse, she squints and leans her head for something she notice by the far end, she keeps moving forward

"Hey who's there?" nobody answered, a tin can drops behind her and its clang echoes……. Billie turns around, she waves her hand just before the blue energy ball hit her, she made single step forward but saw no one

"Show your self Psycho and stop hiding, you'll get busted anyway"

The demon shimmers in, and holding two fireballs and threw at her, Billie jumps backwards avoiding it, she threw the vial but it didn't hit the target the demon quickly went near her and gave her punch on the chest. Billie is a quick get up and leaps for a kick; she hit him by the nose. The demon blasted another projectile energy; the blonde witch uses her TK to deflect it, and hurled her foe on the brick wall. She took an atheme threw it right to his abdomen, the demon fell right wards partly breathing and burst.

"Well that should do it" the blonde witch moves out.

THE RAVENOUS

"We may have a hard time dealing with them on a magical way, all needed is to divide the withces" Scotoha told them

"And just what's in your head?" Rackoon ask

Scotoha smirks "We strike at each on time they don't anticipate"

Cranston reasons out "And the Child"

"We already are step ahead for that, the young boy is still vulnerable, he can't harm us" Scotoha grins

"And the young girl by the first born witch?" Rackoon ask

"Of course, she's now listed as primary target with the little boy" Scotoha smiled evilly "Harphas the first curtain will begin now"

Harphas said "Just as I was waiting, I've already sent demons, on each sisters and about our human pawns they already made the step"

"GooD!"

"Taroth and I will just make a short visit" Harphas said as he vanishes with Taroth

"Strato, Cranston tell the warriors to proceed on first curtain" Scotoha commanded

The two members vanishes, Rackoon was the only one left with their leader "This time will be more smooth, most probably the young blonde witch helping the whitelighter is going off on her own"

"Better for her to be diverted, let's meet someone" Scotoha shimmers out followed by Rackoon

SOMEWHERE ELSE

Phoebe applying her new acquired martial arts technique beating the crap out of demons, she stunts and maneuver around delivering kicks and chops, then did a jujitsu throw at three

"Wow! This is really amazing, and I just love kicking demons away" she tumbles forward four times dodging fireball then threw an atheme to the other and another atheme to a nearby one.

Prue, stood still while easily hurling her opponents in fierce force that had them bursting since earlier. Three demons shimmered in front of her holding fireballs, she stood straight and staring at them, silently three shurikens drop from her sleeves and clutch in between her fingers by the right. She threw them with precision as the fireballs meeting her way she just move few steps left and right dodging it and her three demons burned. Prue took out a kunai and spins it on her right hand she then moves in lightning speed and slashes those she meet in her way, and jumps then rolled out mid air as she fall like a leaf on her feet and stab the air behind her without even looking and a demon blinks in just to explode.

Phoebe enjoying her superior martial arts advantage as she already vanquish nine demons out.

"Great a go Phoebes (stares around, see some ashes)" Prue fixes her hair by her ears

Phoebe walks to her and sighs "A little bit tiring, but still this is kinda effective, honestly I feel undefeatable" Prue motions her head side wards indicating they need to go now.

SCHOOL (pass 2 pm)

Ciel just finished her class and it's already passed two, she's now waiting for her mom to pick her up, she sat at a waiting shade near the guard at the entrance watching for kids waiting for their parents. A male school staff walks to the kid "Hi! Ciel, How are you?" he smiled

Ciel casually staring at him and never cared to speak coz Prue always told her from time to time never talk to strangers.

The man still looks at her "I see you look afraid, but I'm a friend, I came hear just to give you of something, I knew you're a good girl and beautiful as well, for that I give you a present (He gave a cake in a red box) you have good grades, and best in art, you can share it with mommy and daddy, OK" The guy walks off.

Prue's daughter just staring and never cared to speak but she took a hold of the cake in the box, having thought it was her prize for. Then a car stop not far from the entrance Ciel was eager to see, and saw her aunt Paige instead of her mom. Paige went to her niece and picks her up and then smiles. Ciel was unable to leave the cake while they are walking

"Your mom called me and ask to pick you up" the fourth witch said, Ciel smiled at her and Paige happily walks with her niece to the car and saw the cake

"What's that you're holding?" She ask her

"It's a price for having four A-stars in class" said the kid honestly

Paige was a happily surprise "That's good, I'm proud of you" she took the cake and saw it was plain normal "wow! this looks delicious to me, well let's go" as she tugs Ciel into the vehicle and she made her seat and started the engine and moved.

"Aunt Paige when will you take me back to Magic School?"

"Ah…when you have a…… free time from school but you should finish first home works and if your mommy tells me you're a good, good girl" Paige glances at her while driving and smiles.

They got caught up by a stop light first row at the intersection and made a stop, suddenly, they shook violently inside, Paige hit her head by the Manvel she suddenly saw her niece unconscious head forward above the compartment and she got cold and nervous "Ciel! Ciel!" she checks her pulse and got a beat that relieve her temporarily, she took her niece beside her. Paige turns back and went out the car to confront and saw what and who hit them behind. She closes the car door fiercely.

"Just what the hell is your problem pal! You could get us killed!"

"You're a little slow lady, look what damage you did to my porch the bumper and the head lights, I'll sue you for that!

Paige dialed her phone and called Henry, then Prue. She turns around the other door and checking her niece still unconscious, while she angrily argue with the guy, people gazing at them.

POLICE HOME

Henry talking to his wife by his desk and in front of her was Ciel with bandages at her right forehead as she was covered with a coat from her uncle. Prue walks in Henry stood to meet her and Paige she hugs her daughter hurriedly, Paige trying to reason her sister

"Prue, I'm very sorry, It was an accident, I didn't mean too…"

Prue turns to her and held her hand she gave warm smile "It's ok, it's better and fortunate that you and Ciel are all fine, thanks"

The youngest Halliwell relieve to hear her sisters remarks and smiled warmly at her

"(Sighs) maybe it's best if we head back home" answers the eldest

"Good Idea, Ahhh…. Honey, I think we can go now, you just watch it out for us and by the way our car repair would cost as much as 1000 dollars" Paige nods kisses him and walks out with Prue and Ciel.

BILLIE'S PALCE

After a short date and drink with a guy, Billie went to her apartment, she entered the door and lock it hand her things down by the couch she started to feel a little dizzy, she looks around and saw her sight doubles, she touches her head while making her way to her bed, she coughs rough and dry, then feeling something in her chest, her dizziness started to rise and she suddenly collapse and unconscious on the floor.

SOMEWHERE ELSE

Chris was still unaware of the incident that took place this day, his gone following a trail that could lead to The Ravenous, he orbs to the underworld and sneaks but saw none he orbs out and went else where, on an unknown place of grassy plane just half kilometers on a mountain terrains he walks passing plants and trees, he sensed something demonic that led him into where he is. But what he only hears are birds chirpings, leaves sound when swayed by the wind and his own breathing, he felt like he just lost what he sensed earlier.

Out of nowhere four Darklighters orb two in front and two behind Chris. The time traveler turned at opposites looking at his opponents who suddenly draw crossbows on each of their hands.

"Looks like I'm outnumbered here, I don't think I can play with you guys but I'm leaving you something for a while" Chris told them sarcastically "Crossbows!" they orb out the hand of his foes he then started to orb out but half way to it he was hurled violently to the ground.

The four evil guardians walks forward, bringing new crossbows. Chris holding his chest as he get up, but didn't see the force who struck him other than the darklighters.

"NO escape it seems" the darklighter grins

Chris called for his Aunt Paige and Uncle Andy and Uncle Cole, but he was again hurled in an impact his back crash into a tree, he fall on all fours, aching, suddenly he got kick right into his jaw, he spit little blood. Then someone chokes him and threw him again. He tries to get up slowly and he just screamed in pain, an arrow buried in her left back shoulder, he suddenly felt his diminishing strength.

Two demons in hooded robes became visible "Last time was a slight mistake and we had to let you prolong your life, I don't think it still apply today" Strato said

Cranston mentally controlling the arrow and pressuring it at Chris, who screamed in severe pain

"Ha,hah, ha, ha, he, he,he,…. Enjoy the torture it's a long ride" Strato just snaps and another arrow shot at Chris' back, he stiffened and head back in another anguish

Cranston said "Let's not kill him yet, this stupid interloper deserves more credit from us"

Chris fell on his right arms by the ground almost bleeding to oblivion, he felt like suffocating. Still enduring the pain but waiting for any savior on the way.

Strato and Cranston stood with the darklighters behind them, but from no where those dark hordes exploded one by one, Cranston and Strato was alarmed and looks behind, they quickly threw huge fireballs and energy beams, the mysterious hero runs from side to side hiding in trees then fires again, Cranston and Strato relinquish their focus on Chris and concentrated on this enemy of theirs.

Suddenly a Whitelighter orbs beside the fallen Chris he touched him and they orb out. Strato saw them but was unable to stop it, a shot races through him and he dodge then counters attack. But he and his partner hit no one.

Andy gave a deep breath, he shoot another rounds on his foes in the second shot he did hit Cranston by the right arm. Andy keeps shooting while the demons retreated and dodges and he orbs out.

Strato and Cranston was totally pissed off

"Damn you! Cranston we should have finish him off" said Strato

"Nothing to rush, we've executed first curtain, just a little the second curtain starts" The two Ravenous vanishes

THE MANOR

At the attic, Chris orb in a weakened state thanks to the help of Whitelighter Kyle

The former detective called out to Piper and even Paige. Andy followed few moments later. They like to help but they can't touch the arrows as it could also kill them. Piper rush quickly at the attic and surprise to see Kyle but shock when she saw her son

"Oh my GOD, Chris! Chris!" she's a little panic

"We can't pull the arrows off, we're not immune to it" said Andy

Piper started to sob, she took a cloth near the table and pulled the two arrows slowly, Chris moaning of his wound his bleeding immensely. Kyle and Andy kneeled to his height and started putting their hands atop Chris wounds. Piper praying while holding tightly to her sons' hand, luckily the wound close but not still healed thoroughly, Chris is still partly conscious.

Piper stood clutching her hair with both hands "What the hell is going on? Don't we ever get done with this!"

"I understand what you mean" Kyle said

Andy sighs again "This scares the hell out me, I can't see my daughter doing this"

"It's part of who we are and the whole family, welcome again" said Piper

------

Phoebe went back to her office just to drop another paper and she told Elise all is done for the next two columns and she made her exit. And went to the elevator, she stood waiting for a couple of minutes then the elevator opens and outcome the passengers and none were left so this leaves her alone going ground floor. Right before she enter she happens to touch the wall beside it and gasped

Premonition

She saw her self alone in the elevator, suddenly the lights blink and the place is shaking and speeding down, a demon in hoods blinks in, she was stunned and raise almost two feet as a dagger stab her (end)

Afterwards, she didn't bother to make a step into the elevator and opted to use the stairs instead, too many floors down but she's patient do so for her own good, and called her husband.

THE MANOR (night)

Prue at her room, telling stories to her daughter about the adventures of a boy named Naruto. "Wow! He's an awesome ninja, Mommy is Naruto a friend of yours?"

"Not much, but we hang out sometimes and his a great kid who likes to eat Ichikaru's ramen" She smiled to her little angel

"I wanna be a ninja and the girl you just said Sakura, she sure looks really beautiful"

"But you're more beautiful sweetie, hmmhhmmm" Prue twiddles her nose and kisses her forehead then fixes her cover "I'll just go to the bathroom, ok, you go to sleep now" Prue walks out slightly closing the door

NEXT DAY

Billie's Apartment, The blonde girl woke up looking absolutely wasted, her hands are weakened so are her legs she barely got up and walks to the bathroom and threw up, she got on her knees by the bowl vomiting, her head is still killing her, as she carefully walks holding unto the walls for support, she keeps coughing, the blonde witch in her wasted state fell on all fours, it feels she was drugged as she crawl her way back to the bed.

THE MANOR (morning)

Chris was still in bad shape even if Andy and Kyle saved him, his not yet on his fullest strength. He can now move like normal but his body is still ringing some aches around and he went downstairs to eat.

Piper at the sunroom thinking about what happened to her and her family, Chris saw his mom asleep in the couch and he didn't bother, he made her way up to the attic to do some witch works.

------

Prue woke up and went downstairs to the living room and when she got back to the hall way some things change, the entire place was in shadows, then a tiny glimpse of light coming from the window moving sideward shinning through a small portion on the wall by the stairs. It caught her attention, she went close to look carefully, what she saw shock her like never before, hands in her mouth in disbelief as she keeps on crying, she shouts in disbelief….

-----

Piper was not asleep she just had her eyes close, and when she opened it she saw Dr. Williamson, blaming her for his demise, Piper tried to resist and told herself this is all a dream a bad one, she turns her eyes again and she still saw him standing blaming her stressing the guilt to rise in her heart…… Piper woke up violently gasping indeed it's a nightmare that got her, but good enough her adult son was around and brought a glass of water which she drink.

----

Prue woke up gasping indeed it's a terrible dream she saw a nightmare that only her brutal experiences in Konoha can exceed, she looks at her sleeping daughter and walks out of the room. She felt something, Demons blink in, taking advantage of her state and threw fireballs at her, but still the first witch have mange to dodge and TK her opponents to the wall as she rush back to her room.

Piper and Chris heard the raging sound, before they can move, a group of demons blurred in attacking them, Chris feeling a little weak ducks, Piper burst two and froze four fireballs raging at them she walks away from it and burst another demon. Chris merely getting up "Demon!" he hurled him across the dining table. Prue in her haggard condition by the hallway battling demons with her martial arts he already killed two, she jump by the hallway and saw broken glasses from their display frames she uses her TK stabbing her foes and she knocked off another two.

Piper and Chris doing their own fight suddenly Fireballs spraying around, Piper froze the whole place and plenty fireball and demons in suspended animation, Chris orb them back to the throwers burning them all, but from nowhere Piper was hit by her leg, Chris orbs another blast out, but a demon hurled him outside the sunroom windows, Piper fell.

Prue appeared with Ciel at her sisters' rescue and redirected all the fireballs with her TK back to the thrower, but she herself flung across the living room wall, she was stressed out and unable to anticipate that attack in protection of her kid, then a demon stood in front of her aiming for a kill, Ciel TK him, her power activates out of fear, Piper manage to crawl and explode the demon just in time. The eldest witch aching on her back and her left arm is bleeding "Go help Chris out, I'm fine,… hurry!" she ordered Piper. While she her self pressuring her wound and trying to get by, Ciel went to her wounded mommy.

THE RAVENOUS

All six members complete, satisfied with the execution of the first curtain

"Great works for all of us, the sisters are a little devastated especially Prue and Piper" Scotoha laughs

"How about the last sister witches, Phoebe and Paige?" Rackoon is curious

Harphas spoke "They will still realize what had just hit them, especially Belthazor's wife, humans are useful after all and it's nice to play with them"

"And the young Whitelighter?" ask Scotoha

"Helpless as usual always being rescued, I'm just counting days for his execution" brags Cranston "And her little witch helper, should be insane by now"

Taroth cuts in "And it's likely they suspect us, for everything, only the spiritual detective, but give me the pleasure finishing him off"

Scotoha said unto them "Rush not my friends, I assume they will be having a hard time dealing both magical and non-magical attacks, about the others Strato"

"Another bunch of witches have been erased and all are helpless over me, those fighters are now hungry for the real deal" said Strato

Scotoha ordered "Very well proceed to second curtain after sunset"

SAN FRANCISCO

Across the town a shopping store exploded, the security cameras were already destroyed and within the fiery place people are trying to escape before they suffocate from the thick dark smokes, fortunately it's a good cover for demons who blinks in and started killing innocents in random in a way that normal people will think of the victims as being burned.

Just meters far end of Prescott street comes an inciting urban riot, Taroth had influence the people to do so, while Harphas watches over.

------

Phoebe's Apartment, she and Cole receive an early visit from demons and the couple was force to engage on their own.

Meanwhile Paige felt one of his clients calling, she tried to ignore but the call comes very urgent. Paige orbs out Henry who was just preparing to go for work. She orb in some place and unfortunately found her charge dead, demons went after her and she has to fight. But it looks like she's outnumbered and she has to flee.

THE MANOR

Kyle just arrived earlier to cure Prue, Piper and Chris, then orbs out again. Meanwhile the Halliwells heard the commotion outside their area, Piper told Chris to lock all doors and they sneak behind the curtain windows to witness the ongoing riot.

"There are truly lots of crazy people out there" Piper in sarcastic tone

Prue looks around then "OK, Piper do you remember the demon of illusion?"

"Yes, why? Don't tell me that he re….turned…"

"I don't know but it seems like it, these people are totally not in their freaking sanity" said Prue

"Yeah, right, it's up for the cops to take care of that, and we have our own freaks to take care of"

Phoebe's Place; Cole have been wrestling with a muscled demon, his been thrown several times, while he manage to give at least few blows, he rammed into his abdomen and breaking more furnitures around, when he got his chance he blasted the demon right through its chest in near range and the evil brute burst. While his wife in martial arts mode with her ever ready atheme knocked out at least two. There place was a mess, and all of a sudden there's a knock on the door, it's the their next room neighbors

"Any problem? I heard some noise, I bet you're in trouble" ask the old lady

Cole with Phoebe beside him by the slightly opened doorway "Ahh,..me and my wife were just practicing… sort of physical exercise, I'm sweating to lose some weights (laugh)"

Phoebe also laughs and giggles "Oh sure, right, I'll make us some cold tea for recharge, hard taijutsu….." (a clueless neighbor)

"Oh.. thanks for your concern, but we'll be late for work… nothing to worry about Mrs. Riley" Cole closes the door after the neighbor left and he gave a deep sigh, Phoebe gasping for a sweaty morning combat.

Paige orbs back to her place after she beat few demons and realizes she has to flee for good measures, she was already late to catch up with Henry, she knew her husband already left for work. Paige sat herself by the couch to rest, she earned minor bruises in her shoulders, she took out the medical kits and first aid herself after which she decided to go to the Manor in a normal transportation.

THE MANOR

Prue had Ciel with little Wyatt and Chris go to Magic School a while with Leo, that way she can move easier without risking her daughter's safety and nephews. She and Piper at the living room, flipping pages on the Book of Shadows and still found no reference or similarities regarding The Ravenous, Paige came in from the front door to join them and she told her experience earlier.

"We can't keep receiving warlock visits all the time, we really have to bust down The Ravenous" said the fourth witch

"And that's what we'll work out today" Prue said

"Uh..oH…" Paige respond

"What is it?" ask Piper

"Another charge of mine is calling"

"Well if you're really needed then go for it, just be careful and get back sooner" said the eldest

Paige opens her hand "What else can I do? They're ringing my head like a noisy phone, I'll surely catch up with you guys later" she orbs out

The two eldest sister were left to work on their own, but another disturbance came, Pipers' cellphone rings "Hello……………………uh…….. yeah……. Wha…..t…… !... I'll be there …………"

Prue was curious "Piper what's wrong?"

"There's been a break in at P3, some street thugs wreck the place and two of my workers spending time with broken ribs" Piper went to focus first on her bread and butter, she quickly left, Prue tugs along to join her sister.

-----

Paige went to her client another young girl in her late teens "Thank god! For you"

The half witch saw her sitting with her back by the wall, holding her tummy "You're bleeding!" she puts her hand atop her wound to heal

Then "Your next in line to bleed" and Paige was hurled meters away crash landing in cargo boxes, the hooded demon stab the helpless wounded witch to death.

Paige got up "NO! Barrels!" the thing hurled towards the demon but he just punch it away

"You're not good enough to go against me, half cook witch!" Strato mocks as he sends red beams on Piage.

The fourth Halliwell runs while dodging, "DEMON!" she called to orb Strato away, but he was just covered with blue orbs and went nowhere

"Nice trick! Just a little itchy! I think it's my turn"

He threw huge fireballs at Paige, she deflected it back, Strato shimmered out and shimmers in then fanned a wind to hurl Paige falling on her back, the half witch called for some metal bars and speared it to hooded demon, but he redirected it out. In time for Paige to orb out, she was hurled before she could escape suffering another fall, Paige is now gasping and aching on her upper body, she was crawling backwards, Strato slowly walks to her while juggling fireball in his hands

"I want to play target shooting if you mind" he laughs at the fallen witch

"Some other day, I'm not feeling well" Paige jokes then she drop an escape potion and she vanish in smoke

Strato was laughing "Yes that's it, you're finally falling to the trap, I'm not gonna kill you yet, it will just enrage the first born witch" he is now talking to a presence who came beside him "And we wont want that to happen, it's a costly damage isn't it Cranston?"

"Very clever, I thought you would swerved to the second curtain, we still have some magical lives to kill" Cranston vanishes and Strato followed

-----

P3 Inside; Investigators along with photographers and other crime scene staffs are present doing their work, Darryl talking to Piper and Prue

"They sneak in at the back door, just in time for your workers cleaning up and fixing some stocks, another gang followed and goes the riot that cause these wreckage"

Piper looks around "The place is a mess, how am I supposed to run it tonight and I'm cut off over 2000$, and just my luck I deposited majority of the income, but lost a less 900$ cash, and it will cause another big budget fixing this, damn! those crappy bastards!"

Darryl spoke "I'm sorry about it, but right now we got two of those ravagers sitting ducks behind cold bars and I suggest you consider changing locks on all doors and cleaning schedules"

The mobile phone of Prue rang "Hello………………ok……….. but…………………..fine…………………….what's the address?……….." she turns to Piper "It's a photo shoot there sending me of somewhere or I become full time witch, Piper…."

"I'm staying here Prue, gotta work this out first sooner, then we deal with our……….mission" Piper said

Darryl looks at them one at a time "I got it! After all these years I knew those lines"

"Well, see you later" Prue walks out

-----

Phoebe went her way to go to the manor; she walks in, and found no one, No Prue and Piper no Chris and Ciel. She roams the place and found none. She went to the living room and saw the BOS hidden underneath the couch pillows, she took it and came to did her own research

"I'm home alone with you, give me something today" she said, Phoebe took the BOS and headed to the attic to see what she can do. But she thought of something again and went downstairs to the sunroom, she prefer to practice Taijutsu and try experimenting something she saw from Prue.

-----

Prue pulled over to a nature terrain of semi grassy fields and not far there was the lake which she traumatically remembers when she was just a little kid.

She walks her way to the green fields and started taking pictures of the good natural site, breath of fresh air in a warm sunny day. She went from side to side taking shots in different angles. But suddenly she felt like being pulled back to that place, her feet was taking her to it, as she pass by the trees and the shore, she saw a boat in the middle of the lake and someone just jumps out, she came near the shore, then a force comes assaulting behind she sensed it quickly and jumps away of the shore, she already hinted what set up they're making for her. Out her sleeves she pulled a kunai and landed on her feet, she stood pausing anticipating the next attack, she concentrated hard to TK something she can't see and suddenly she made a telekinetic force hurling her unseen foes by the water, she saw the ripples in the lake and it indicated someone fell, she quickly threw her kunais and two demons burst visibly, she then jumps and stunts several times making dust rise by her feet, two barbaric demons shimmers in front of her, raging to get a piece of this witch. The demons ramming at her, Prue jumps behind them and gave each a kick on their back, causing them to fall on with unbalanced inertia. The two demons drew out their axes and started hitting the first witch, Prue keeps dodging and jumping against the two who doesn't seem to caught her, she TK them off in an impact hitting the ground, she moves in shadows and stab a kunai at the barbaric demons neck as he burst, then the other one keeps attacking her and in her surprise it blew flames out its mouth she got a tiny scorch on the jacket by the right shoulder, she threw a kunai imperfectly and missed the target, she astral projected by the side and fist out one vital part, the demon fell to his knees, the real Prue passing by the fallen demon, her astral self returns, the demon explodes. She then opted to leave and get back to her car. But someone came to play with her.

-----

Paige was at her place and in bad shape, she headed there first after a duel with Strato, she was resting by her bed and first aid her self again. She then decided to orb back to the manor, to catch up with her sisters.

-----

Right in time for Phoebe's practice, another real life test came to her, she fought with a demon earlier but luckily she got rid of him and now she's doing one on one fight with Taroth. She seems to have the upper hand when it comes to martial arts, but Taroth attacks using fireballs in which she has to dodge. She use her empathy skills to channel it back to the demon, Taroth manages to duck, Phoebe assaulted him again giving some kicks constantly, Taroth got her foot and hurled her violently, the third witch is a quick get up she stunts and jumps giving another chop pushing Taroth by the wall, Phoebe took her atheme and attacks again, the hooded demon avoided her hit, Phoebe keeps attacking in karate mode, and made a sweep kick throwing Taroth off balance and she got him by an atheme at his right thigh, the demon moan of pain, and Phoebe did a spin kick follow up hitting his chest. Paige just in time to shimmer and she sneak behind and got Taroth with another atheme by his back, Paige dives in defense towards her sister, Phoebe stood with her, Paige called "CHAIR" and broke it down the demons head, Taroth blinks out before he gets totally beaten up, Phoebe got to her knees breathing hard, only then she felt the ache she had from the throw, Paige was gasping too, they were splayed at the second living room.

Just as they thought it's over, the two sisters were hurled in an impact across the stairs, another hooded demon came

"Tired already? No! You haven't deal with me yet." Harphas said

Phoebe and Paige already drained and bruised up with Taroth and here's another member of The Ravenous. "Looks like this is it, the great Charmed legacy ends"

Paige grab Phoebe and orb out but Harphas catch them and threw the sisters back at the living room, The third and the fourth witches are now in bad shape.

Harphas turns to them, he used his long extended hair and whip the sisters out, Phoebe bled on her arms and Paige bled at her lower chest. "Torture, yes! You should thank me for granting what you truly deserved"

BANG! BOOM! An energy ball hit Harphas, "I can't let you lay a finger on my wife" Cole said in a tiring tone he himself seems injured and was even enraged when he saw Phoebe with blood on her arms, the third witch crawls to help Paige.

"You wicked bastard!" Cole blasted, Harphas countered and the two exchange projectiles, Cole shimmers out to catch him Harphas blinks out, it goes on until the D.A. nailed the demon, he punched him out, but Harphas send him flying to another wall, Cole blasted again, Harphas deflects, but another blast hit the hooded demon, Andy arrived and shoots some rounds on The Ravenous member, and this time he got Harphas by his shoulder, the demon blasted him, now it's two on one, Andy and Cole attacking Harphas until the demon blinks away.

-----

P3"; After some couple of paper checks and club investigation, Piper headed to check the back door alley, there she blew a couple demons trying on her, Chris immediately gave his mom a hand and vanquished at least six warlocks. Rackoon showed up and blasted Piper and Chris, they opted to orb out but Rackoon fanned them away landing in piles of trash, Piper burst him, Rackoon formed a shield for protection, he cloned himself and just sideways he blasted Chris, who then dives to cover his mom, again he was hit by his waist, Piper burst the clones again, then she freeze the demon, but Rackoon fought the freeze and hurled the two in an impact.

-----

Prue have been battling since then and she had plenty of demons burnt to death, she uses both her TK and shinobi skills and she rely most on taijutsu. But demons seems to be making her busy, and one particular demon she got one on one is Cranston, still the hooded demon had somehow manage to inflict bruises and slits on the first witch. She uses her martial arts to him and its where she get the upper hand earning her multiple hits, she gave Cranston a kick straight up and she jumps to meet him up air and delivered some Konoha style combo, with keen sight of her target she got the hooded demon stab with a kunai on his right tummy and Cranston fall beaten, Prue landed tired and gasping, even if she's got tricks she can't fight endlessly, her body is now feeling the aches, her car suddenly exploded as Cranston blasted it "You're not going anywhere witch!" Prue TK her throwing him a little back, Cranston still stood up and this time two barbaric demons are present again. Prue walking backwards and TK those demons out while Cranston blasted her and she deflects, this first witch knew she still have some sufficient chakra, she formed a hand seal, did a Kage Bushin (shadow replication) there appeared ten Prue, Cranston was surprise, in an instant all Prue attack the three demons using taijutsu, The two barbaric demons were now dead, Cranston was injured as well until he tried to spread a vast diameter of flames and burned all Prue, she heard the puff sound and thought he wins, after which he saw no traces of Prue but scorch marks on the ground and he laughs "I killed the strongest Charmed witch, this would be more easier now" as he blurred out holding his wound.

THE MANOR (living room)

Phoebe and Paige treating themselves with medical kits, even Andy and Cole also badly injured with their individual warlock battles, they're almost drained of energy to fight. Moments later a washed out Piper and Chris orbs in, everyone went to them. Piper who also suffered some bruises and slits along with Chris manage to flee and at least get even with Rackoon and his demons.

An exhausted Piper "We're almost close, their too much…. Chris bought some time to orb out or we're be baked alive"

Paige cleaning the wounds of his nephew, Piper ask "Where is Prue?"

"We still don't know, I've been reaching through her phone but nothing" Phoebe said "I hope she's all right"

"Oh God please not again, Prue come on be here now!" Piper praying worriedly she asked "Paige can you sense her?"

"I tried but I'm not getting any presence, even Andy here, please Piper don't be negative I know Prue…. At least, she's the one not to be taken down easily"

Piper replied "She's also the one who would put her life on the line just to save other people, we need to know where she is!"

"Mom just relax, Aunt Prue will be here any minute, I believe that" Chris comforting Piper

Suddenly, some one drops out of nowhere in a puff of smokes and she fell right partly conscious and bleeding

"PRUE!" Piper went to her fallen big sister "She's bleeding, heal her hurry!" They treated her injuries, but the whitelighters around are still weak to heal her.

------

The Ravenous; Cranston is rejoicing "The eldest witch is dead, her clone trick didn't work to outsmart me, I finally killed her and this time permanently, The Charmed Ones have just lost a huge percent"

"Are you really sure about that?" Scotoha ask

"Of course! I burned her to death not even her shadow could be seen"

Rackoon said "We better attack now, while they are on hold and weakened, then we seize the children"

"That's! Exactly the problem! The children are no where to be found, I've sent minions to get them but they failed, we may have succeeded diverting and separating them but they hid the aces in others sleeves" Scotoha said

"Magic School! it could only be the place, The Triad and Dumain's former residence now it's restored back to good magic, I doubt we can breach into its walls" Harphas stated

"I see, those witches also know the word retreat and I want to tell them the meaning of terror, how are the warriors Rackoon?"

"They enjoy ripping other witches throats and some magical beings as well"

"Good! Continue second curtain, just in path to divide the Charmed Ones, we must not let them be together especially now that the superwitch is gone!"
