A/N: So, this is a pattern with me, huh? I plan on this being the final chapter of the Charmed AltaVerse. I had a lot of trouble logging in. I haven't been in since June, so it was very difficult to remember my password. Luckily, though, I got in. Also, if you've seen the show Skins, I'm starting a fanfic of that. If you haven't, I suggest you read it anyway. It stars a boy named Maxxie Oliver, and his best friend, Anwar.

-PPP-

"What now, Piper?" Prue asked her sister, as, for the fifth time in a row, scrying for Phoebe and Cole was a huge disappointment.

"I don't know, you're the wonder-witch!"

"Don't do this to me, Piper. I'm not the one who ran out with a demon. Is Leo awake yet? I think Phoebe broke a rib."

"No. Barbas's energy ball thing still has him unconscious."

"Well, he needs to wake up. We can't keep relying on my astralling. It's taking too much out of me."

"You do look pretty tired."

"Well you try passing through an entire other plane of existence, Piper!"

"Then don't do it so much, and you'll be fine. Besides, don't take this out on me, I'm not the one who told you to do that all over creation."

"if I hadn't, I wouldn't have found Phoebe."

"And she wouldn't have kicked you in the ribs, and the jaw, and you wouldn't need Leo to heal you. You and Phoebe also wouldn't be fighting. You and Phoebe also wouldn't be mad at each other."

"I'd be mad at Phoebe."

"But she wouldn't be mad at you. You see how that works?"

"No, Piper. No I don't. I had to go after Phoebe. If I hadn't, she'd still be running all through the Underworld, searching for a place to hide from the Source, who is probably in the Underworld himself."

"Meanwhile, you sent Barbas after the Elders in the Heavens, you split up the Charmed Ones by getting into a fight with Phoebe. You've locked up your telekinesis power by astralling, and using that force field thing. You've got me worried about Phoebe, and on top of it all, you look like you're about to collapse. So, Prue, tell me, what else are you going to screw up tonight?"

"How about us, Piper. Because I'm sick of you. I'm sick of Phoebe. I'm sick of Leo. I'm sick of being a stupid witch! I'm done! Fight the Source of All Evil on your own!" Prue threw the scrying crystal across the room, and astralled out.

"Haha, Prue, very funny. Now reappear…Prue! Prue! PRUE! PRUE YOU GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!" Piper looked around frantically. "Oh God, oh God, oh God." She ran over to Leo, and began shaking him. "Leo! Leo wake up! LEO! LEO WAKE UP!" Piper lay over Leo, feeling his heart beating. Suddenly, he coughed, and sat up. But something was weird about him—his eyes were green."

"Leo, are you OK?"

"Perfectly fine, Darling." Leo stood up as Piper, who started to back away, did as well. He cocked his head to the side, and shot a bolt of lightning. Swaddling orbs appeared over Piper, as her child orbed her from the manor.

-PPP-

Down in the Underworld, Prue astralled from cave to cave, searching for Phoebe and Cole.

"Well, lookee what we has her' boys!"

Prue looked on as a group of roudy-looking teenage demons grouped together.

"She sho' is purdy!"

"Great, just what I need," Prue said, "to be romanced by a couple of hick demons."

"Well, hoooow-day! This purdy little thang sho' do go a mouth on her! What d'ya say, boss. Fir-balls?"

"Well lookee her', boys! Michael shur dun got a brain, dun'he? Lock n' load boys!" All six of the demons created a fireball in each hand, and threw them at Prue.

Twelve fireballs hurtling right at her, Prue held up her hands, and a wall of astral energy stretched out before her. All twelve hit the wall, which began to glow a bright pink. Suddenly, from nowhere, a wave of fire erupted from the wall, vanquishing the six demons.

"Woah," Prue moaned, as she toppled over, onto the floor. Wasn't sure what that would do." She sighed, and fainted.

-PPP-

Tick, tick, tick, tick. Prue opened her eyes, awakened by the most monotonous sound ever: her watch ticking. She looked down at it. She'd been asleep for eight hours. Alseep? No, that wasn't right. Passed out. She fainted when the wall of fire did—whatever it did.

"Oh, my head." Prue gasped. Suddenly, she jumped up. From somewhere close by, there was movement. She could sense someone's eyes resting on her.

"Who's there?"

"Just me," said someone in the darkness, "Just watching you. Sleeping, you were. Long time. I was beginning to get bored." She recognized the voice.

"Barbas, come out here."

"Now, now. Let's not be harsh, Prue. I'm not going to kill you. I can't. I tried. Your astral energy protected you. Clever little trick you've got there. I'm not sure you even know what you've stumbled onto. What you've done to your power."

"If you know everything, why don't you tell me?"

"I'll tell you on the day you vanquish the Source."

"At least I won't have to wait that long."

"Oh believe me, little girl, you'll never find out."

"Little girl? Barbas, I'm not a little girl."

"You're right. When I first met you, you were just a slip of a witch. Now look at you—so growed up!"

"Get the Hell out of here, or I'll vanquish you."

"You see, I can't leave. I need a witch. A Charmed One, to be precise. You see, I have this minion. I got him with my new power. And, I wanted him to kill you. The problem is, he needs a Charmed One to open the Book of Shadows. He remembers when his wife, you sister, read the spell, but he can't remember the last of it."

"Leo? Leo isn't your-wait—new power?"

"Yes. I can put people under mind control. The problem is, it also makes their morality mine. Since your book detects morality, Leo is now locked out from using it. It's a shame, really. A terrible, terrible, crying, awful, starving, bleeding shame."

"Barbas, you can just burn in hell."

"No thanks. I was there already. And once I've taken care of the Charmed Line, not only will the Source free me from it, but he'll reward me with unimaginable power!" Barbas thrust his arms into the air, laughed, and flamed from the cave. Moments later, Cole and Phoebe shimmered in, followed by the Source who flamed in, followed by Piper who orbed in, and then by Barbas who flamed in. Piper, Phoebe, and Cole ran behind Prue, as Barbas waved his hand, summoning Leo to his side, just as the Source waved his hand, summoning his warlock.

"Wow," Prue said, "I would really hate to have to write a story about this. It would sound so boring, the way people keep disappearing and appearing and whatever."

"Prue, our life isn't a story. It's real. It's deadly real, and we need to worry about that right now."

"Sorry."

"So," said the Source, "Four against four." Piper lifted her hand, vanquishing the warlock.

"Three against four, actually," said Prue. Prue leaned into Piper and whispered in her ear.

"Piper, when I throw the potion, freeze everything except Barbas's head."

"What? Why?"

"Just trust me. Everyone, take position." Cole and Phoebe moved to the Source's left, as Piper moved to his right, and Prue stood in front of him.

"So," Prue said, "here we are, Source. Take us out. I mean, that's what you want to do, right? You've already split up our family, you might as well kill one of us."

"Or two of us," said Piper.

"Or all of us," said Phoebe.

"Yes, I may not have had everything go to plan, even the warlock did not do as he was told. But we have your husband, Piper." The Source said, holding his hand out to Leo.

Prue waved her hand, and a small ball of astral energy shot from it, knocking Leo against the wall.

"Now you don't." And then it began. The Source pulled out a dagger, and ran for Prue, as Barbas ran for Phoebe. Prue pulled a small athame out of her belt, and ran after the Source screaming, as Phoebe roundhoused Barbas in the head, and Cole threw an energy ball at him. The Source waved his hand, sending Prue into the air, who then astralled out, and back in behind the Source, kicking him in the back, and sending him to the ground. He stood up, and thrust his dagger out at Prue who waved her hand, sending out of his, and clattering across the floor. He threw a fireball at her, which was deflected by her forcefield.

Meanwhile, Phoebe rolled on the ground, kicking barbas in the knees, knocking him over, as Cole waved his hand, sending an energy ball at the demon, who flamed out of the cave, and appeared just feet away from Phoebe, and then threw a green ball at her, and she jumped in the air, dodging it, and kicking Barbas in the top of the head, who's jaw smashed into the floor of the cave.

Phoebe smiled , happy to have heard his yelp of pain.

Prue threw the Source across the cave, who threw her across the cave, who astralled out, then in, and punched him. Finally, the Source had enough and whisped a few words of an uknown language. A wave of energy blasted from him, knocking Prue to the other side, and separating Cole, Phoebe, and Barbas. The Source slumped over, exhausted from his display of power. In this moment, Prue threw a small, purple potion. Piper, noticing this, froze the scene just as the potion hit the Source, and was beginning to become a fireball. Everything froze except herself, her sisters, and Barabas's head. Prue walked over the Demon of Fear.

"Now tell me, what's happening to my power."

"You still don't get it? Your ability is changing…it's becoming more than just astral projection or astralkinesis. It's now the ability of projection. The ability to make your very will reality. I would have love to have lived to have seen you use it. You would have been magnificent."

Piper. Piper rose her hand, unfreezing the Source, who exploded. Everyone looked over at Barbas, who vanquished as well.

"Well, mission accomplished. Let's go home."

"So, that's it. We just go home?"

"Yes, of course. Why not?"

"OK."

Everyone huddled up and orbed home.

From then on, the only thing the Charmed Ones worried about were their lives. Demons were too afraid to approach them, and the Elder thought they'd had enough. Phoebe and Cole got married, and Phoebe is currently pregnant, expecting twins, one little boy, named Coop, and a little girl named Penny. Meanwhile, Piper had a little boy, named Wyatt Leo, and is now pregnant with a little girl, who she calls Melinda. Meanwhile, Prue and Bane met up, and after finding out she was pregnant, married Bane, and had a child, who she named Patricia Marie.

And they lived happily ever after!

A/N: So perhaps not the best ending, but it was still heartfelt. I hope you all enjoyed it. I'm actually thinking about starting another Charmed fanfic, based around Paige and Prue meeting before Prue's death, and becoming friends. Please, read my Skins fanfic. It's going to be called Maxxie. I really hope you enjoy it!
