Just as the demons thought they already cornered the sisters, they quickly assault only to find a strange bag with a note written in Kanji, clueless of what it is, they gaze around for awhile but found no sign of the four witches. In few seconds the paper note glows and BAM!!! It exploded almost seven meters in diameter affecting demons nearby and it wasn't just a toasting blast bladed shrapnel dip I stinging potions piercing through a lot of demonic flesh causing their fiery demise.
------
Meanwhile the four sisters orb together, still in an unknown place. Resembling the setting of age old castle interiors. Paige is trying to sense her instinctual leads.
"Nice place to land" comments Piper
Her three siblings lay eyes on her. "Be my guest" Paige replied
Prue turning her head on their surroundings trying to anticipate an attack, Phoebe also doing the same. Paige walks a little forward as if staring something from afar.
"Let's keep going" Phoebe insisted
"Yup" answers the second witch
They began to march forward. An intruder shimmers in and another two followed. Without any word Piper sprinkles her both hands ending up their enemies vanquish.
"This is getting really annoying" Paige said "It's as if we're in some kind of a video game dealing with a lot of newbies and pawns before we get to the main boss"
"Does that mean we get some power ups and bonuses, extra weapons" Phoebe in serious joking tone
"Kryox is really draining us out since day one" Prue said
"And here we are granting that wish of his" a sarcastic remark from Piper
And Prue strongly said "We just really had to vanquish his sorry ass as soon as possible"
"Yet we still play hide and seek" Phoebe noted
THE MANOR
Billie returned with a glimpse of hope, yet still in doubt whether she, Cole and Kyle can breach the attic and prevent the warlocks ritual against the BOS.
The blonde witch took out a piece of paper then slit her thumb to draw some blood and through it to the attic door. Cole and Kyle gave each other a stare.
"God let this be it!" Billie emphasized
She began to chant as she concentrated hard;
"Powers I summoned to thee
Open this door to be seen
Break the lines that divide
Let me walk through inside"She chanted the spell over and over giving her full magical power, suddenly a tiny vortex started to appear and glow, she kept chanting as the vortex slowly grows giving them now a view on the other side, a windy force struck the three off them, but they try to stand back. Cole and Kyle taking cover against the strong winds
"Just keep going" Cole shouted
"We're almost close" quips Kyle
Billie felt being drained now, she started to nosebleed, giving her full energy to break this strong demonic spell.
The Warlocks on the other side saw the opening gateway, yet they kept their focus on their own ritual.
All of a sudden another magic tapped into Billie's, before she began to completely weaken, she felt a new aura assisting her. She continued her chant. She told herself she must not give up even if it's too risky.
From nowhere Wyatt and Ciel appeared inside the attic, three of the warlocks were distracted. The battle of the orbs hovering the BOS spins in random suddenly forming a line connecting to the golden orbs surrounding the kids of Prue and Piper.
In no time Billies' work is rubbing off, the barrier started to weaken, Cole felt it and tried to blast an energy ball. His projectile was able to penetrate inside but was deflected against the Warlock shield. A few seconds the barrier was gone Billie fell to the ground and Kyle holding her back. Cole dash forward and started to spray an array of energy balls, now his trying to dismantle the Warlocks' shield.
Ciel and Wyatts' magic versus the evil magic, Cole stood behind the two kids staying a guard. The BOS started to connect and gaining Power Boost from the children. The six warlocks continued their ritaul but now they seem to be losing.
Prue's daughter started to join her hands and she formed a hand seal (A bird hand seal)
She whisper to her little cousin "Channel our energy to her"
The clueless Wyatt looks at Ciel then stared at the golden orblights spiraling them. Both of them are lending the BOS their magical aura.
Just few more to go and it worked the a Shining Ray blasted off from the BOS throwing around it's six invaders, leaving it open, the two kids orb near the podium with Ciel tapping her right hand over the books' cover while holding Wyatt in her left. Cole went beside the children. He took his cue now while before the fallen Warlocks started to recover he started to blast four consecutive energy balls in full power killing two. Another pair of these dark minions aimed to blast the podium along the kids but a transparent force protected them and returned the blast to the pair thus killing them instantly. Two more left eyeing each other for a retreat. Cole acted so quick.
"No you won't escape and not today" he shimmered behind the two right before they shimmered out and snapping their necks and fired a projectile to make them surely dead.
UNKNOWN
The Halliwells continue their journey into the dark depths of what seems to be an old European fortress. Every step they make slowly morphs their pathway steep and thinner.
Phoebe said "Something doesn't feel good about this"
"Yeah, I notice it too" Prue added
Piper and Paige looking around and they also knew what Phoebe meant.
"We're really walking right into their trap" Paige getting a little impatient
Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige went moving forward. When all of a sudden Phoebe felt of something, it's not a premonition but she heard a strange sound a voice perhaps.
She motions her right hand a stop sign to her sisters "Hey do you hear that?"
Piper curious bent her head leftwards as if trying to hear something "What... I could barely hear a thing"
But Prue along with Paige seems to get what the third witch told them.
Paige looking back and forth to the dark road ahead of them and to the dark road where they've been, it's been a while since they both notice that the pathway where they stood is just two meters wide, she looks to Prue "Do you think what I'm thinking?"
Prue carefully recognizing the sound as it is slowly getting louder as if there's a stampede approaching.
Piper is hearing it now and "Oh NO!!! Don't tell me this is like…."
Phoebe nervously "Indiana Jones style of a rolling fireball"
From nowhere three arrows flying so fast targeting the fourth witch from behind, she barely notice what's going to happen and as she turns around, CLANG!! CLANG!! CLANG!! Sounds of steel deflecting another steel, It was Prues' kunai she quickly made her move saving her youngest sister.
A string of electric shock running through Paiges' veins, close calls she thought. "Thanks" she addressed her eldest sister
"No Problem" replied the first witch "Piper and Phoebbe tug along.. Paige orb us out"
All four sisters held each other and right before they orb out a huge rolling fireball raging from where they came through, fiercely spinning so fast, but just in time they orb out. The huge fireball hit nothingness as it vanishes towards the dark depths again.
--------
All four of them orb in, this time inside the main fortress.
"Whoah, whoah, we've been orbing in and out, changing places, fighting demonic novices and seems to me we're just being played around" Piper slightly complaining
Phoebe answered her "what else do you expect?"
"Alright since our innocents are safe now, all we gotta do is nail Kryox out, but becoz he's moving and fooling us around we can't barely catch that creep"
"What do you suggest?" Piper ask
"Paige.." Prue called the youngest "You have our hidden tracker?"
"Yup, all and ready to be launch"
"You mean a tracking potion we did earlier to find Kryox lair?" Phoebe waiting for an answer.
Prue nods "But will make some variation this time, an additional power boost and spells"
"That's just great, but how come you never thought of that til now?" asked Piper
The first witch replied "We need to free our innocents first right, having thought this demon freak will charge us directly but I was wrong, his a real smart, so now we play much smarter than him"
Piper chuckles, arms cross as she nods twice, Phoebe and Paige smiled. The four witches stood beside each other, Phoebe took a piece of paper and pen, catching some words inside her head for a tracking spell. Prue made a Tiger hand seal, meditating and scrying at the same time while a pendant hangs in her hand. Piper and Paige assisting the third witch, the spell is done.
"Here we go" Phoebe with a little excitement
As they stood beside each other while Phoebe holds the paper, Paige took out a vial. Then all of them chanted;
"Four Witches powers, reach the skies
To thee we call we seek and we find
All pathways crossing into this earth
To the demon Kryox settle us there"
After that chant Paige threw the vial to the ground, a puff of smoke arise circling all of them as they vanish in a flash.

THE MANOR
In the living room, Kyle healing the over exhausted Billie, as she lay resting in the couch. In front of them sat Ciel and Wyatt, Cole pacing across the room doing some few glances by the window and around.
"How's she now?" he asked Kyle regarding Billie
"She's fine, a little more rest"
The D.A. nods positively
Kyle on the kids "Thanks for that and don't worry your moms will be here now just a little late" he chuckles.
Little Wyatt gave a warm smile so is Prues' daughter.
The Manor door opens with a creaking sound, Kyle and Cole were alarmed, only to find out Victor and Leo, the two went immediately and hug the children. Leo stood up then went to check on the sleeping Billie.
Victor holding both of his grandchildren "My God, you're alright, I was so crazy driven of what happened" he hugs them tight again
"Don't worry grandpa; Uncle Cole and Uncle Kyle saved us" Ciel in childish tone.
"Or should I say they're the one who saved us instead with Billie here of course" Cole explained
"Thanks" Leo showed his gratitude
UNKNOWN
From where the Charmed Ones vanished, another figure showed up rising from the ground, wearing a cloak and hood, his face is covered in shadows that his mouth is the one slightly visible.
"What a display of power, you're surely growing" the unknown being said
"Prue…he he he he he he he" That individual vanishes in a blurring flash (Body Flicker Technique).
------
Just few moments earlier, Kryox waiting outside the back of the fortress, two of his hencmen already reported to him the details about the Halliwells, that four of them are still alive and well.
"Hmmm, Just as I thought, they keep fighthing but no one can fight forever, they will use too much powers push their selves to the limits until they run out of tricks and even the eldest Prue won't be of help" Kyrox told his henchman
The warlord turns around facing another someone in a cloven hood who's face is mostly covered except on the mouth. That someone smirk at him.
And spoke some words "I knew this plan of ours will work and I can see the cooperation"
Kryox replied "You first came here to offer help, and I'd be grateful as long as it involves the Charmed Ones demise"
The hooded being walks a little forward "Of course your information about them helped a lot on my part just the right something I needed and in exchange I brought you some humans you call witches"
"How I appreciate your gratitude and I admire you skills in Killing, very lethal, very discreet…hmmm (grinning) reminds me of the firstborn Haliiwell and makes me think you have something in common"
The hooded being stirred a little laugh "You bet, I have an art whwn it comes to killing (evil smile) and we did have some clear agreement, I get what I need you get what you want"
"Rest assured, You have my words" Kryox affirmed. He turns a back, as the hooded being vanished so fast. Kryox looks back again to find his ally gone
------
Pass some little time, A puff of smoke bust in and four female figures formed. It's the Halliwells and the are just few feet away on the awaiting warlord holding his sword.
"Just in time for your early termination" he said with arrogance
"Say that to yourself" says Phoebe
Piper carefully watching her foe "It seems to me you look not so confident and didn't bother to strike first, how unusual of you"
Kryox smiled a bit of evil "I have some adviser and told me to be a little precautious just to make sure you'll die"
"Oh yeah, are turning cold feet now?" emphasize Prue
"Not with you, at least, but let's stop the chat and get this over with, can't waste time, you must be eliminated for the glory of all the Underworld demons and alike"
Kryox suddenly attacks Prue with his sword and Prue with her kunai, the two went one on one in a weapon battle, Phoebe assisted her sister, two on one fight. Krtoz cloned himself and attacked Piper and Paige. The second witch tried her bursting ability but she was hurled by Kryox to the ground. The witchlighter orbs out then orbs in delivering a kick, the warlord dodges while walking aback. Piper stood up wiping some dirt in her pants. Kryox jumps away from Paige and threw a fire projectile, Piper ducks.
"Fireball!!!!!" screams Paige and threw it back on Kryox, the demon deflected it.
Prue and Phoebe busying their selves in an absolute martial arts combat, the two only manage to hit Kyrox twice. Phoebe sweep kick as Prue kick him on the chest.
The Battle goes on, Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Paige versus two Kryox, a fight still undecided of the outcome.
Somewhere not so a far from the scene hides someone, a concealed Identity, carefully watching and observing the Halliwells.
