Melinda
Power of One
Episode 19
Divided
20-03-2026
Mia was pacing around in her new loft. She was tired and annoyed. She had been using so many magic lately, that she felt drained. She had not so long ago, turned back into this beautiful young woman. Still she felt like she needed to use magic, to get what she needed. She sat down on one of her couches and sighed. She felt like a vampire, who needs constantly blood. She needed more energy and to get that, she needed to drain some magical energy. Now she was alone, it was much harder for her to find any magical beings. They all knew who she was and were afraid of her. They knew she was no longer a good Witch of the First Order. She had become truly evil.
The Underworld was still a mess after the Charmed Ones had defeated the Source and the Hole. All high level Demons were challenging each other with duels, so the strongest would finally be left over and would prove himself to become the New Source.
She needed to be smart and reduce her energy use. If only she would be able to defeat the damned Charmed Ones. She hated them, but mostly she hated Melinda. She couldn't believe that a small and fragile thing like Melinda could be the strongest magical being that walks the earth. That was ridiculous. There was only one who was the strongest and that was Mia herself. She had been living on this planet for decades and had seen and learned so much. Mia knew if she would be able to defeat Melinda, then she would become the Ultimate Power. Nobody would dare to challenge her. Not the good or the bad. She had been thinking about an option, but that would require a lot of magic, from her part and she was not sure, if she was strong enough. Only she felt like, she had no choice. She had to do something to win from the Charmed Ones. She took her Book of Shadows out and started to search for the spell she needed.
Manor, Kitchen
Melinda had gotten up early, so she could start on the breakfast. She knew she had to make everything, twice as much. Last night, it was a night of romance at the Halliwell's. She had to giggle by the idea.
Wyatt had orbed Caroline to Paris. They must have come in pretty late, because Melinda hadn't heard them at all. Chris orbed Bianca to New York. There was a party somewhere on a roof. Those two she heard coming in, because at that time, she was busy with Jake herself. She thought it was time. It felt good and right, so they did it. It was amazing. Now she was starving and she guessed the rest too.
She heard orbs behind and turned around expecting one of her brothers, but it was an Elder. Her mood changed instantly.
Melinda: What are you doing here?' She asked rude.
Elder: We have a problem which has come to our attention and we wanted to warn you about it.
Melinda: Ok? Well spill. I have things to do.
Elder: Like what? Cooking, he said bluntly.
At that moment Wyatt and Chris walked in while their girlfriends were freshen up.
Melinda: Listen, if you are here to be a smartass, you can go right now. I don't have to explain to you what I am doing or why I am busy. So say what you need to say and go away. I told you people that I don't want to see you here...So talk quickly! She said getting pissed off at the Elder.
Elder looked at Wyatt and Chris for a moment, but their faces were blank and then looked at Melinda.
Elder: We believe that they have found a New Source. They are going to have the coronation tonight and that's not all. We think that Mia is working on a spell to go back to the past, to destroy your younger versions, so you can't grow into your full powers.
Chris: Wait. That you know about the coronation, I get that. But how do you know about Mia?
Elder: We have been tailing her, he said calmly.
Chris: So you are saying that you guys, knew all along where she is hiding, but didn't bother to tell us. We could have attacked her and vanquished her sorry ass.
Elder: You know as well as I do, that you cannot just go and kill a human. There are consequences to that action.
Melinda: You know, I think I am going to summon the Avatars, she said out of nowhere.
Wyatt: What? Why? He asked strongly.
Melinda: To create Utopia, she said calmly. Then there will be no more Elders and we don't have to listen to the crap they are saying. Because I rather live in a world like Utopia, then to listen to this nonsense.
Elder: I can assure that none of it is nonsense.
Melinda: Really? And what about Billie and Christy? The Ultimate Power? When they were fighting with our parents and in the end Christy was vanquished, then it was ok? Because of the greater good, but if we kill Mia, then we are getting punished? She is human, but is allowed to attack us, but we can't do anything about it?
Elder: That is not what I am saying, he protested.
Melinda: In a way you are, she said back. You know what? Thank you for telling this to us. Now I want you to give the rest of the idiots up there a message from the Charmed Ones. When we go after Mia and she is vanquished and you are thinking of punishing one of us, then I will do everything in my power, to destroy all of you Elders. All of you! She yelled at the Elder.
The Elder and her brothers looked shocked at Melinda. At that moment Caroline and Bianca came in. Jake had just wake up and was under the shower.
Caroline: What's going on? She asked when she walked into the kitchen.
Melinda: Oh, nothing really. He came to tell us, that they are going to have a coronation tonight for a new Source and that Mia is going back to the past, to kill one of us, to break the Charmed Ones, but we are not allowed to kill Mia, otherwise we will get punished. So I was saying to him that if we kill Mia and they will try to punish any of us, that I will do whatever it takes, to bring down the Elders, she said with a smile on her face.
Caroline: Is this true, she asked strongly at the Elder? He just nodded in agreement. Well, let me tell you, that if you try anything, I will help Melinda to take you guys down.
Elder: Be careful what you say, we are still able to clip your wings…
Caroline: That should scare me in what way? She said challenging the Elder. I am not afraid of you or the rest. You all think you are almighty, but it seems that you and the rest have not learned anything from the previous Elders, with the old Charmed Ones. You guys are only looking for ways to punish the Charmed Ones.
Elder: Maybe it is wise, if I leave now? I have told you the message. Good luck, he said and orbed out.
Melinda: God! They really know how to piss a person off, don't they? She said and looked around.
Jake walked in, but stopped in his tracks, when he saw all the serious faces.
Jake: Someone died? He said and they all turned around to look at him.
Melinda told him quickly what happened and prepared the breakfast. While they were eating they were making plans.
Loft Mia
She was pacing around in her loft. She has used a very old spell, to summon Demons. It was a spell, which was used only in emergencies by the Witches of the First Order. A low level demon appeared close to Mia.
Demon: Why have you summoned me Witch? He asked not pleased.
Mia didn't respond, but used her strongest binding power, to bind the Demon. She quickly made a salt circle around him and now he was trapped. Without releasing him, she started to suck his life energy out of him. She had learned that Demon energy doesn't make you actually younger, but just give you the power boost, you need at that moment.
After she had sucked the energy out of the Demon and vanquished him, she felt powerful again. She immediately started with the spell and the preparations. Soon she would be ready to go to the past and end this for once and for all. It made her smile evilly by this thought.
Manor, Living room
Wyatt: I was thinking to send Chris back to the past.
Chris: Me?
Wyatt: Yes you. You guys are the ones, who keep reminding me over and over again, that you and Bianca went back to the past to change the future. So they know you guys. I will go with Melinda to the Underworld to see if we can stop the coronation.
Melinda: No I can't. I have to do something else, she said and stared at Wyatt.
Wyatt: Like what?
Melinda: I am going to deal with the Elders. This has to stop. If they think that they can come to our home and threaten us with punishment for the decisions we make, then they are mistaken badly. I will make sure that that never happens again.
Wyatt: I don't know what that exactly means and I am not sure if I want to know. Ok. Everybody knows what they have to do, so let's go.
Wyatt and Caroline orbed out to the Underworld. Chris and Bianca went to the attic, to check the Book for the right spell to go back in time. Melinda took Jake and threw a teleportation potion to the ground and was taken away to Magic School.
Magic School, Manor
They appeared in the living room, but nobody was home. So they walked out to the hall and walked up the Great Hall. There they found Piper and Leo.
Piper: Hey guys. Did you come to visit me? She asked smiling.
Melinda: Yes and no. Do you know where dad is?
Piper: He is somewhere around? Why? What's wrong? She asked worried.
Melinda: A lot and I need his help?
Piper: Maybe I can help?
Melinda: Don't think so mom. Dad! She called when she saw her father walking.
Leo walked over to his family and hugged Melinda and shook the hand of Jake.
Melinda: Dad, I need your help! She blurted.
Leo: Sure honey. How can I help?
Melinda: I need to speak with the tribunal. You know the floating head guys, she said to her father.
Leo: Yes I know, but why? I thought you warned them and didn't want to see them again.
Melinda: I know, but now I need to speak with them. Can you take me there?
Leo: Honey, you cannot just go there and speak to them.
Melinda: Why? Are they gods? Are they so important, that they cannot be disturbed?
Leo: No, but…
Melinda: Good. Then there is no problem and you can bring me there?
Leo looked from his daughter to his wife. He didn't understand what Melinda would want with them and she wasn't telling. Somehow he couldn't refuse almost anything to his little girl. He sighed and nodded that he would do it, but only if he and Piper could come too. Melinda nodded that it was ok.
Underworld
Wyatt and Caroline orbed in and looked around, but it was deserted. They figured that all Demons were probably preparing for the coronation. They had no idea where they were getting themselves in, but they had to stop the coronation. The plan was to find the place, mark it and get the hell out of there, without being seen. Then come back with reinforcements and stop the coronation with, vanquishing the Source.
Manor, Attic
Chris was looking through the book, while Bianca was standing by his side, looking thoughtful.
Bianca: Chris, I don't think the spell is in there, she said calmly.
Chris: What? Of course it is. Why it shouldn't be? He asked her confused.
Bianca: Because the original spell was written in the future and the one that Wyatt had written is gone too. You had ripped it out the book, before you went through the portal.
Chris: You are right. Damn! We have to come up with a new spell, he said determent.
Bianca: I have a better idea, she said smirking.
Chris looked curious at his girlfriend and she smiled back at him brightly.
Tribunal
Melinda, Jake and her parents, orbed in at the open area. This place still creeped her out. The total blackness around her. She kept thinking, what if the round platform would fall. Then what? Out of nowhere the four faces, Thrask, Crill, Aramis and Adair appeared. There were 4 heads floating in the air. Two on the side of the Charmed Ones, Aramis and Adair were the good guys and 2 on the other side, Thrask, Crill were the bad guys.
Thrask: How dare you to come here, without our invitation?
Leo: I am terribly sorry, but this is an exceptional case and therefore I believe, it needs your immediate knowing.
Adair: I wonder, what can be that important,that it cannot be handled accordingly? He asked gently.
Melinda: Hello. Do you all remember me? The floating girl, who almost vanquished you all?
The four heads looked surprised at Melinda and a bit scared. They remembered very well.
Melinda: I know, that I am the last person you want to help after the last time, but I need to ask something and I need a straight and direct answer, instead of cryptic explanations. I believe that you four are able to provide that, she said and looked one by one at all four of them.
Aramis: What is it that you seek, child? He asked neutral at her.
Melinda: As you may have heard, we are in a huge battle against one of the Witches of the First Order.
She has been attacking us and doing everything in her power, to kill us, at least me and suck our powers from us, to become unstoppable.
Aramis: So sad, he said interrupting Melinda. They were such a force of good. Now just one of them is left and is evil. What do you want to know from us?
Melinda: The Elders are saying that we will get punished, if we vanquish Mia. I want to know, how this punishment will have effect. I mean, will we be able to do our duty as the Charmed Ones? Do the Elders even have the right to punish us, for saving the world, again? Because believe me, if she succeeds in killing one of us and becomes unstoppable, you can kiss your magical world goodbye. She will destroy everything. So what I need from you, except answers to my questions, is also your protection. Protection, that we are save from the Elders?
The four faces told them that they will be gone for a few minutes to discuss this delicate issue. four chairs and a table appeared for Melinda and her parents. Now the only thing they could do was wait.
Manor, Attic
Chis kissed his girlfriend, because she was so smart and she knew the whole history of the Charmed Ones, like she had lived it herself. He let go of her and stepped in the middle of the room.
Chris: Clyde! He yelled. Show yourself, you selfish stinking son of a bitch. Get your lazy butt here, right now!
Clyde appeared with a swirl of smoke.
Clyde: You yelled? He shouted at Chris.
Chris: Yes I did. We need your help. This is a matter of life of death. We need to go to the past, urgently.
Clyde: What do I get out of it? He yelled.
Chris: Well I believe that you still owe the Charmed Ones, from the last time. Remember Lulu and Frankie? He said raising his eyebrows.
Clyde: Crap. I had hoped you would have forgotten about that, he said grumpy. Well ok then.
He waved with his arm and a braun door appeared.
Clyde: you know the drill, when you need to come back, just yell, he said and opened the door.
Chris took Bianca by the hand but she let him go. He looked at her surprised.
Bianca: I need to stay here, she said and looked at Chris. If something happens, then I can get help or do something to fix it. You all three are divided and nobody of the family, knows what is going on. You can do this. Like the last time.
Chris: I don't remember the last time. That was my past me.
Bianca: You have read the books and you know what you have done. Believe. You will be fine.
Chris: I will. I promise, he said and kissed his girlfriend intensely till Clyde made an annoyed sound.
Chris let go of Bianca and without looking back, he went through the portal.
Underworld
Wyatt and Caroline had found the area, where they were going to hold the coronation. They tried to see if they could see who would be the next Source, but couldn't see much, without being caught.
Caroline: Ok, this is not working. We can't see a thing. This calls for magic.
Wyatt: What did you had in mind? He asked curious.
Caroline: maybe glamour? Turn ourselves into demons, so we can get closer?
Wyatt: I have to admit that I am not good at using glamour. I have seen Aunt Paige do it in the past and I know I can do it too, but not really know how?
Caroline: Well, we don't have time to teach your properly. I will glamour you too. Ok, think of a demon, but none they would recognize easily. Some random demon once you have killed maybe?
Wyatt: I get it, he said and closed his eyes. Caroline did the same.
Caroline held her hand up and moved it before her face. She was instantly changed into this short, dark haired and leather dressed girl. She did the same with Wyatt and he changed too.
Wyatt remembered how he looked when he was turned evil. His hair had become black. He had got a mustache and a small beard. His clothes were black.
Caroline: This is not glamour, she said to him annoyed.
Wyatt: Yeah it is. This is how I looked, when I turned evil, once or twice, he said with a grin on his face.
Caroline wanted slap him but there was no time. They needed to get the information, now! As quickly as they could they mangled with the rest of the Demons. When they entered the cave of the coronation, they had a good look at the New Source. He was an older guy and already pretty evil, without being the Source. Then they overheard another Demon, complaining to another Demon, of how long this was going to take. The Demon told him, that the ceremony must start exactly at midnight. The other was releaved, he still had plenty of time to take a leak. Caroline slipped out the cave first and Wyatt was about too, when...
Omias: Hey you. Where are you going? You are needed here.'
Wyatt turned around to look right at the eyes of the almost New Source.
Wyatt: I was just about to take a leak, my liege. I have been holding for a while now, he said without looking at the Demon.
Omias: Well, when you are done, then you won't have to worry about that problem anymore,' he said with an evil grin on his face.
Wyatt: What do you mean my liege? Did I do something wrong?
Omias: No, but we need more demon blood for the coronation and you seem like a good candidate. Go over there and it will be all over soon. He pointed at the other end of the cave.
Wyatt was about to walk to the place that was pointed at him, when the Demon stopped him.
Omias: Don't I know you? He asked and looked closer at Wyatt. You seem familiar.
Wyatt: I don't think so, my liege. I have been helping all day, maybe you have noticed me for a moment and now remember my face.
Omias: There is something off with you, but I can't point my finger on it. Fascinating. This never happened to me before. You know what, till I remember, I think I will let you live. You go and do what you need to do. After the ceremony, we will talk again, he said evilly and turned and walked away from Wyatt.
Without saying a word, Wyatt turned around and left quietly the cave. When he turned the corner, he bumped into Caroline, still in her Demon look.
Caroline: I have marked the place. Now let's get the hell out of here, she said and Wyatt nodded.
Both orbed out without being seen, back to the Manor.
Manor, year 2012 Chris is 8 jr, Wyatt 9, Melinda 5jr
Wyatt: Chris? Chris?
Melinda: What is wrong with him? Melinda asked curious.
Chris woke up and looked around. His eyes became huge when he saw a little version of Wyatt standing in front of him. He looked aside and saw a very small Melinda. He looked down and realized that he was also a child.
Melinda: Mommy! She yelled. Chris is doing weird! She yelled.
Wyatt: Is acting weird, Wyatt corrected her and she showed him her tongue.
Piper came in the room and sat down on the ground, with her children.
Piper: Honey what's wrong? She asked Chris while she sat him straight again.
Chris: Mom, we need to talk, he said very serious. I am not the Chris from this time, but from the future and there is not much time.
Piper looked shocked at her son. 'Phoebe, Paige, can you come up here please?' she yelled.
Manor, Attic
Wyatt and Caroline orbed in to find Bianca pacing around the attic.
Wyatt: Bianca? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with Chris?
Bianca: We thought this was better. You three all were divided, so if something would happen with one of you, then I could warn your parents or do something myself.
Caroline: That is actually very clever, she said grinning at Bianca, who smiled shyly back.
Bianca: Did you find anything out about the coronation?
Wyatt: We did. We found the place and found out that it starts at midnight.
Bianca: Ok. So now what? We wait till Chris and Melinda return?
Wyatt: Yeah, something like that. We still have a couple of hours to go. Of course we have a backup plan. Caroline is going up to talk with the Elders. If needed we are going to attack with every Whitelighter, cupid, witch, magical being who wants to stand by our side and help out to defeat the future Source.
Bianca: That sounds like a plan. Well then, somebody wants some food or something to drink?
Tribunal
Piper still couldn't believe what her daughter was doing. She was more amazed of her bravery then angry at her. Leo was too shocked to say a word. Of course he had been a Whitelighter and an Elder.
Piper: I wish I had thought of this before, she said grinning at her daughter.
Leo looked afraid at his wife. Melinda and Piper both laughed at the expression of Leo. Now Leo was laughing too, but all three stopped immediately, because the faces appeared again. On the other side of the platform, a surprised old Elder appeared.
Thrask: Jonas, we have summoned you, because Melinda Halliwell has complained about the Elders in general and had a very unusual request. We thought as the head of the Elders, it is your right to hear what our decision will be. Jonas looked at Melinda and then waited.
Aramis: Melinda, would you please come forward?
Melinda did as she was told and got and walked to the center of the platform. She made sure not to touch the circle in the middle, which showed images. She looked one by one at the faces and waited.
Thrask: You must understand that what you are asking from us is very unusual. No one has ever gone against the Elders, except your mother. It seems that you share the same ideas about the Elders.
Crill: We have been watching your history with the Elders and have seen, that they have not treated you always the way it should have been done, but have seen that they have been a great help also. So this is a difficult decision, he said looking at Melinda.
Adair: We believe that the greater good, is the most important thing. We also know that sometimes sacrifices must be made, to save the greater good. The previous Charmed Ones knows that better than anybody else.
Aramis: We have seen that Mia, truly has turned evil and with her knowledge of old magic, she can be very dangerous. Not only for the Charmed Ones but to humans too. Therefore we believe the only way to stop her is to vanquish her. Capturing her and stripping her from her powers, will not work. She is too powerful for that.
Thrask: Melinda has come to us to ask protection from the Elders, he explained.
Jonas: Protection from us? We have done nothing but look out for them, he said shocked.
Melinda: Is that so? She said getting annoyed again. She knew how the circle worked and without thinking she stepped on it and thought of the conversation they had this morning with the other Elder.
Jonas watch at the scene and was shocked by the words of the Elders.
Elder: Tribunal, as you know it is not our job to kill humans, but protect them.
Adair: That is true, but this case is exceptional. This is not an ordinary human. She is a Witch of the First Order, who supposed to be a force of good, but she has chosen to use her knowledge and her powers for evil. She has killed her own sisters to gain their life energy to become more powerful. She needs to be stopped.
Elder: I understand, he mumbled.
Thrask: I have be honest, that I am not a big fan of the Charmed Ones myself, but truth must be said here and the truth is, that thanks to them, there is still a world to live in. Without them, it would have been destroyed or taken over by Evil. So we believe that you Elders must give the Charmed Ones some slack.
Elder looked very uncomfortable and looked annoyed at Melinda. Who looked at him with a huge grin on her face. Finally some justice she thought.
Elder: I have no clue, why the Charmed Ones would think that we would punish them for the things they do all the time.
Melinda: You guys come down and interfere with everything we do. That has to stop right here and now. I don't want to see any of you Elders or Whitelighters, unless we call for you or there is a huge threat and we need to be informed about it. When we ask for your help, we expect actual help. If you can do that, then we have a deal.
She turned around to look straight at the Elder. Leo was too shocked to speak at all and Piper leaned forward in her chair and looked amazed at the scene. Even the four faces were intrigued by this and were waiting with suspense the answer of the Elder.
The Elder, looked very uncomfortable, but finally nodded.
Melinda: Sorry didn't get that, she said.
Elder: I Jonas the head Elder from the Heavens, promise we will leave the Charmed Ones alone, unless there is a huge emergency and will be ready to help them with any request they have, as long it is for the greater good, he added quickly and looked at Melinda.
Melinda held out her hand and the Elder did the same. After the shaking hands, the Elder orbed out.
Aramis: I hope that you got, what you came for, he said smiling.
Melinda: Yes I did. Thank you all for your help. I won't forget this. Oh one more thing. The threat I made last time to you four….still stands. If you do anything to any of my family members, I will be back.
She walked up to her parents, Jake and threw a teleportation potion on the ground and they were taken away. Leaving four worried faces, who stared at each other afraid.
Manor, 2012
Phoebe and Paige ran into to the room, ready to fight of any demon. They looked both surprised at Piper and then to the kids. Both sisters weren't living in the Manor anymore, but were there to help interview, magical and non-magical nannies.
Paige: What's wrong? She said looking around. Piper pointed at Chris, who stood up.
Chris: Mom, we don't have much time. I am from the year 2026. Clyde has sent me back, so that's why I am in this body? A very powerful Witch has come back to the past, to kill one of us, so that there would be no more Charmed Ones.
Melinda: Mommy. Chris is scaring me, she said coming closer to her mother and looking weird at Chris.
Piper: I know honey. Wyatt honey, why don't take your sister downstairs for an ice-cream and you take one too. The little ones did as they were told.
Chris told them everything about Mia and also about Melinda and her goddess powers. Mia wanted mostly Melinda her powers, as she was the strongest magical being on the planet. Piper thought about what her son told her. She turned around to look at her sisters.
Piper: Paige, go to Magic School, tell everything to Leo and see if we can find a defense spell against her. Phoebe you go downstairs and continue with the nanny interviews. Chris and me are going to the attic to see what we can find.
Manor, Attic present time
Wyatt, Caroline and Bianca were sitting and talking, when Melinda appeared in the center of the attic with Jake.
Wyatt: Hey sis. Good that you are back. How did it go with the Elders? He asked curious.
Melinda told them, what she has been up to and that she had seen the Tribunal. She told them about the agreement that has been made. Wyatt was listening intensely. He just couldn't believe that his sister would do such a thing. Nobody, except their mother was able to go against them. This was huge.
Jake: She was awesome. You had to see her, he said with awe in his voice. Melinda smiled shyly.
Wyatt told Melinda what they had found out and that he was hoping that Chris would return fast, so they could stop the coronation. He told her also about his back-up plan.
Melinda was starving, so they went downstairs so she could eat and so they could talk more about the plan Wyatt and Caroline had made.
Manor, 2012 staircase in front of the door
Mia came walking to the Manor of the Charmed Ones. She saw two young girls sitting at the stairs. She hid herself behind some bushes and eavesdropped on their conversation.
Young girl 1: I cannot believe that they have chosen me for the interview. I am not magical, but my husband is a witch, so I am used to magic. Hope I get the job, she said smiling.
Because she overheard them, she knew that she could go on an interview too.
She came behind the bushes. She looked down and magically changed her clothes, which were more suitable for the situation. She walked up the stairs and smiled at the girls and knocked on the door.
Phoebe opened de door and smiled at the good looking Mia.
Mia: Hi, my name is Sophie and I heard you are searching for a nanny. I would love to apply myself for this job, she said and smiled brightly at Phoebe. Phoebe let her in and they sat down. Mia/Sophie conjured herself a resume and told Phoebe that she was a Witch.
Paige orbed back in the attic and informed Piper and Chris, that there are some spells, they could use against her, but it was not much. She had also ingredients for binding a powerful witch as Mia. All three of them went downstairs to make the potion, while Phoebe was just getting up to let Mia out. She had a lovely conversation and Phoebe had a good feeling about her. Mia looked up when she saw Chris walking up on them.
Mia/Sophie: Hi there, she said to Chris and gave him a bright smile.
Chris looked back at her and without any warning, he lifted his hand and using his telekinesis power, he threw her hard against the wall. Aunt Paige, the crystals, Now! He yelled.
Paige orbed the crystals from the attic into her hands. 'Circle' she yelled and the crystals appeared again around Mia/Sophie. Who got up and was looking pissed off.
Mia/Sophie: What is the meaning of this? She asked pissed.
Chris: You can fool my family, but not me Mia. He said and stood before her. It was last threatening, because he was so small.
Mia/Sophie: I am sorry, but I think you are confusing me with someone else.
Chris: Don't think so. You have come from the future to destroy the Charmed Ones, but you are not the only one who has travelled back. I may seem young in this body, but I can assure you that I am the same Chris, you have been fighting the last year.
Mia: Well well, so you have heard about my little trip. I wonder who told you that? She said and looked at the crystals.
Wyatt and Melinda came also in the living room. By the side of Melinda, Mia's eyes became huge. Melinda was so small. Mia could vanquish her easily. Chris was talking to her, but Piper noticed that she only had eyes for Melinda. She was like an animal, who smelled her prey. Mia closed her eyes and started to chant in an old language. Piper tried to freeze her, but it didn't work. She tried to blow her up but that didn't work either.
Piper: Paige, you take Melinda and get far away from here, she said.
Paige walked over to Melinda and was about to orb out, when Mia broke out the crystal circle. She immediately started to throw binding spells at Piper and Phoebe. With the other hand she tried to bind Chris, but we run away, before she could bind him. Paige didn't know what to do. Save Melinda or help her sisters. In the end, she tried to orb out and orb Piper and Phoebe away from Mia, but before she got the change, she was bound to. Now all three Charmed Ones were on the ground, crying out in pain.
Melinda: Mommy! She yelled.
Mia looked at Melinda and walked slowly her way. Wyatt stood before his little sister and held his hands up, ready to attack. Piper looked between teeth grinding. Wyatt shot a white light out of his hands, which almost hit Mia. But Wyatt was not stupid and moved with his hand and the whitelight followed his movement and this time he hit Mia hard. She flew across the room. Because she was hit, she lost the concentration on her binding spell and the Charmed Ones were freed. They got up as fast as they could and run to the kids and orbed out to the attic. Mia got up cursing and was about to search for them, when Chris came out of his hiding place and used his powers to make her fly to one of the walls and she fell hard on the table, which broke. After that he orbed out to the attic.
Chris orbed in and saw his mother searching through the Book of Shadows, while Phoebe and Paige were working really fast to finish the potion. Before Chris could turn around, his Aunts and mother were bound again, and were rolling on the ground. Little Wyatt, Melinda and Chris stood next to each other. Wyatt looked very angry.
Wyatt: You leave my family alone, he yelled and started the attack at Mia.
Melinda looked first scared, but bit her lip and held out also her hands and started to use her blowing power. Chris used his telekinesis power and all three started to walk up to Mia, who was trying to deflect the magic, which was coming her way. But then the Charmed Ones parted and stood now in a circle around Mia.
The Charmed Ones were watching them with amazement, between the agony they felt in their stomach. Now the little ones had surrounded Mia and were attacking her without stopping for once.
Mia had no time to stop all three of them and she started to crumble under the magic that was send her way…She needed energy to continue this fight. Phoebe was laying it closes to where she was standing. She needed to get to her, so she could suck her life force.
Mia was now on her hands and knees. Sweat was dripping of her face. She mumbled something, which made the Charmed Ones, scream out in pain.
Melinda: Mommy! She cried. You leave her alone, she yelled and started to walk up at Mia and hit her blow after blow. Mia deflected her for a couple of times, but the rage Melinda felt, made her powers more powerful. Wyatt looked amazed at his little sister and Chris looked proud. The Melinda he saw now was the Melinda he knew she would become in the future.
That moment Leo ran into the attic.
Leo: What the hell is going on? He said and looked around.
This made the little ones look at him for a moment and Mia knowing that she would never win this, said aloud a spell in a different language and was taken away, before they could vanquish her.
Chris: Damn! We were so close to vanquish her. Nice job dad! He said with sarcasm.
Leo: What did I do?
Chris: What do you think? If you hadn't show up, then she was a goner now. This was our change to defeat her once and for all. Now she is probably back to the future.
Leo: I am sorry, he said awkward. This was not the first time, Leo had interfered with this kind of battles, by showing up on the wrong moment and starting to ask questions. He made a mental note, not to do this anymore. His actions could have been fatal for one of his family members.
Piper: So now what? She asked to Chris.
Chris: Now I have to go back to the future, in case she is planning to attack Wyatt and Melinda, who are probably waiting for me. Wyatt, can you close the ears of our sister please? He asked his brother.
Wyatt did as he was told. Melinda tried to free herself, but Wyatt was stronger.
Chris: Clyde you son of a bitch. Show yourself you dirty bastard.
Clyde appeared at his usual way and looked grumpy.
Clyde: You yelled, he said.
Chris: I am ready to go back to my time, he said.
Clyde flickered with his fingers and the same braun door appeared again. He opened it. The moment he did that, small Chris fell on the ground and the spirit of grown up Chris was seen.
Piper looked with tears at her son and walked up to him.
Piper: Thank you, again, she said between her tears. This is the second time, that you have saved this family. You are a good son and brother, she said proudly. She wanted to touch him, but that would be pointless.
Chris walked up to the door and turned around and looked at everybody with a smile.
Chris: Thank you so much for your help I love you all. Take care of each other, he said and with tears in his eyes, he walked into the door and was gone. Clyde looked around and disappeared too.
Manor, Attic present time.
Chris his siblings had eating something and now they were waiting for Chris. They still had a hour before the coronation. They were already in the attic, preparing the spell and potions.
Clyde appeared in the room and right behind him a braun door appeared too. The door opened and Chris came out, all grown up again. He thanked Clyde for his help and send him away. Bianca walked up to him and they kissed intensely, which made the rest turn around for a moment.
Melinda: How did it go?
Chris: Well, we had almost vanquished her, if dad didn't interfere once again. He came in the attic and asked what was going on, while we were attacking Mia. Therefore she was able to escape and return back to her time.
Wyatt: Really? How did you almost vanquish her? He asked curious.
Chris: Actually with our powers and with the help of the previous Charmed Ones.
Melinda: Due tell? She asked.
Chris: Well I think because of what happened, I figured out how to defeat her. All we need is the entire family with us, when we fight of Mia. When we were fighting with her, she got attacked from several different directions and she was able to block some of us, but not all of us, so some of us, were able to continue to attack her. Then she blocked the ones who were attacking her, but when she is distracted, then the binding spell is loosened and people can free themselves of her grip and attack her. We were with the six of us, and we had her almost. Can you imagine, if the whole family surround her and use our powers on her? I have learned a spell from Aunt Paige to bind her, he said proud.
Wyatt: You did good, bro! He said and smiled at him.
Chris: How did it go with you guys?
Melinda: I made sure that the Elders, will leave us alone from now on, but that I will tell you later, because we don't have much time. We are going to kick some Source ass, she said grinning.
Wyatt explained fast, what has happened and they prepared for the fight.
Underworld
The Charmed Ones orbed in, close by the marked place. They had left Caroline, Jake and Bianca behind, because this was something the Charmed Ones needed to do themselves.
Before they entered the cave, they changed places and Melinda stood in the middle. They decided to attack straight the source. Because he was still a high-Level Demon and Wyatt had seen his face clearly, they had made vanquishing potion specially for him.
Melinda held both her brothers and focused. Immediately an blue light appeared around them and the Demons noticed them too. They ignored all the Demons who were trying to attack them, as their attack has no influence at all. As fast as they could they ran to the High-Level Demon, who looked surprised at them.
They stopped right in front of him. All Demons had surrounded them.
Omias: I know you! He said looking at Wyatt. I spoke to you, but you had darker hair.
Wyatt: yep, your instincts were right and I really think you would have been a very good Source. Unfortunately for you, that is not going to happen.
Omias: Ha, you can try to kill me, but it wont work. I am not a ordinary Demon, you can't vanquish me like that.
Wyatt: Really, let's try that theory.
Before Omias could react, he threw the potion and Omias, screamed out in agony and was vanquished. The Demons stepped back and looked confused at each other. Nobody knew what to do next.
Melinda: Now! She yelled and they let go of each other and divided themselves and started to attack the Demons. Some attacked back, some shimmered out to save their own lives, some unlucky ones were vanquished.
Chris noticed the High priest running away with a book in his hands. He knew exactly which book it was. The Charmed Ones had their Book of Shadows. The Demons had theirs, but the Charmed Ones had destroyed it. They must have found a way to recreate a new one. He orbed out and orbed in, right in front of the priest. The priest looked horrified at Chris. Chris threw him with his power back in the cave. The book flew out of his hands, right next to Melinda.
Melinda stood by it and guarded it with her life, against the Demons, who tried to get the book.
It took them about 20 minutes to vanquish all the demons, who dared to go up against them. The whole cave was now empty. Chris orbed out and orbed back in with Bianca. As she was a Demon, she was able to hold the Book. After they got the book, they orbed out.
Magic School, Manor
Leo was reading the newspaper, as he still like to know what was going on in the normal world.
Piper was making some sandwiches for them, when the whole group orbed in.
Leo looked at the group and got up, when he saw Bianca and the book in her hand.
Leo: Bianca, I am sorry, but you are not allowed to be here, he said.
Piper felt her children and came to say hi. She looked from Leo to Bianca.
Piper: What is going on? She asked serious as she felt the tension.
Wyatt explained, what has been happening all day long and what they have been doing and that they have come here, to make sure that the Evil Book of Shadows is in good hands.
Leo: Ok, I understand what needs to be done. You can leave the Book here, but you need to go Bianca.
Chris: Dad. If you say one more time, that she has to go, than you will not see me here anymore too. She has been mine girlfriend for years. She has done nothing but good. Helped out so many times. You guys, even asked for her help, when Melinda was shot. You cannot be ok with her, when it is conveniened for you, and times like this send her away. That is hurtful and so not ok!
Leo: I am sorry if it sounds harsh. I didn't mean it to sound it like that. But how much good she may have done, she is still evil if she can hold that book in her hands. I am not saying that she is evil, but it is still inside her.
Chris: What?! He said getting angry at his father.
Piper: Chris I think you are right and I want to let you know Bianca, that you are always welcome here. You are now part of the family. You have saved our family so many times.
Leo: So did Katarina, he mumbled.
Melinda: God! What is your problem dad? It is not the end of the world that she is here.
Leo: Rules are rules. It is said clearly that Demons are not allowed in Magic School. No matter if they are good or bad.
Melinda: Well you are the head of this school. You can change the rules anytime you want.
Chris: Never mind. I thought you guys would be proud of us all, for what we have managed today and it sucks that is has to end like this. Let's go Bianca. It seems that we are not welcome here anymore.
Before anybody could say anything, he orbed out with Bianca. Leo looked shocked at what was happening. He tried to say something, but his other children, looked also pissed at him and orbed out too.
Piper: Nice job! She said pissed. Was this really necessary?
Leo: I am sorry, just trying to obey the rules of the school, he said.
Piper: Well whatever you do, you need to fix this, because if my children don't come to visit me anymore, then I am moving back to the real Manor and you can stay here, in your Demon free school, she said and walked out the room, before Leo could respond.
Leo sat down and groaned. Maybe he had reacted to fast and harsh. He could loosen up a bit. He didn't even know why he react the way he did. He stared at the evil Book of Shadows and sighed.
Manor, Melinda's room
What a day! I am beat. Jake fell in sleep, the moment he lay down his head.
The exciment of me going up against the Elders and the Tribunal, made him exhausted. He looked at me, with awe in his eyes. It made me shy.
Last night was so special and so beautiful. We made love for the first time.
I lost my virginity and it feels good. He is the one, I know it.
So from now on, the Elders will leave us alone, unless we need them. I am so proud of myself. Finally!
Chris went back to the past. I envy him. I would have loved it to go back and see myself as a small girl again…hihihiihi…Chris told me that the temper I have, I already had when I was little . He has found a way to vanquish Mia or at least bind her, so we can vanquish her.
I am really getting sick of her. She needs to be vanquished soon.
Wyatt did also a good job. Thanks to him and Caroline we were able to stop the coronation of the next Source. It was a pretty heavy battle, but we were good prepared and the Demons hadn't had any change.
I need to talk to dad soon. His behavior against Bianca was ridiculous. He treated her as a Demon. Thanks to her we were able to save the day.
Don't know what go into him…but I will find out!
So time to go to bed…tomorrow we need to make plans to attack Mia, as we now know where she lives. Well the Elders know, but I will make them tell us!
See ya,
Melinda
