The Charmed Ones fell to the floor as their bindings, and the bindings of their whitelighter, vanished. Alpha, the leader of the Avatars stood over them. He waved his hand.

"Now you know how to create the vanquishing potion. Please, you must stop us. It's not right for us to take away free will." He stood up, and faded out.

Prue opened her eyes and saw her sisters and whitelighter lying next to them. Telekinetically, she moved Phoebe's and Piper's closer, to cause them to touch. She then grabbed Leo and Piper's hand, and astraled out.

Gamma stepped out from the shadows, and looked to where the Charmed Ones just stood. He too, faded away.

-

Phoebe opened her eyes to see her sisters leaning over her in the living room of the manor. The Book of Shadows sat on the table. Leo smiled at her.

"She's awake," Prue said. "It's about time, too. We've been here for two hours."

"Sorry," Phoebe said, sitting up. "I overslept."

"Yeah, we all did. The Avatars held us prisoner. We've looked through the Book of Shadows, and couldn't find out how to stop them."

"I know how: essence of Suxen."

"Yeah. The only problem is we don't know what a Suxen is," Piper chimed in.

"It's too bad Cole killed Emma," Prue said. "Speaking of which, where is Cole?"

"It wasn't his fault, and he's probably hiding from the Avatars. And while I was asleep, I had a dream. Suxen. Nexus backwards. We need to cast a spell to solidify part of the Nexus to create the potion. The rest is in the Book."

"OK. So how do we do this?"

"I have just the spell."

-

"Have you located the Charmed Ones?" Beta asked Gamma.

"No. We have no idea where they could be, or how they even escaped."

"Prue may have astral projected in her dream, as she had before. And we also know that she's cast a spell as an astral image. She may have freed them."

"I thought her power had changed."

"It advanced, yes, but she never lost her former power. Gamma and I will continue to search for them. You join the others in the fight against evil."

Beta bowed her head and faded out.

"Does she suspect that you freed them?" Gamma asked Alpha.

"No. Just as she doesn't suspect you're helping me."

"We must be stopped. But not killed. We must stop the future Avatars from making our same mistake."

"Yes. You're right."

-

In the basement, Phoebe pulled out a piece of paper which contained two spells: the one to summon the Nexus, and the one to call some essence of Suxen.

"Ready?"

"Yeah."

"Natum Adai Necral,

Dana Intan Lanok." Part of the earth fell away, and the shadow rose from the ground.

"The other spell. Cast it. Now!"

"Algeron Anlantrinal Vulserinoyas Nore!" Parts of the shadow solidified.

Prue bent down and picked up a bunch of the orbs which formed when the shadow solidified. She handed a handful to Piper.

"Now let's banish it."

"I am light, I am one too strong to fight—" Before she could finish the spell, the shadow threw them all upward onto the stairs, and shrunk back down into the earth.

"We'll get the Nexus later. Right now, let's make this potion."

-

Black smoke-like liquid swirled in glass bottles on the table. Prue, Piper, and Phoebe picked up a few and slipped them into their bags. They turned to each other.

"The Avatars are very powerful," Prue said. "They may kill us. I just want you guys to know that I love you."

"I love you too," Phoebe and Piper said. The sisters hugged, and Prue astraled them out.

-

Astralling into the Avatar's lair, the Charmed Ones threw a potion, killing one of the Avatars, setting off a huge battle. They fought. Fireballs and potions flew everywhere. Phoebe saw a fireball collide with Piper, and saw Prue deflect a fireball, but get hit with one in the back. The Avatars focused on Phoebe. Cole flamed in, and flamed Phoebe out.
