DarkPriestess66: I don't own pt 2, and you're going to be real mad at me at the ending... *Gives evil laugh*
Leo finally came when called and saw Phoebe bleeding and picked her up and carried her into the living room. "Put him in the playpen. I don't want him seeing this."
Alexis walks in, holding Wyatt. "But Phoebe…"
"Just do it!" Leo shouted, he puts Phoebe on the couch.
Alexis puts Wyatt in the playpen. "there you go. There you go."
Leo starts to heal Phoebe. "Don't let him out of your sight."
"What's wrong? What's taking so long?" Paige asks,
"I don't know." Leo answers
"Damn it, Leo, you should have just healed her outside." Alexis states, as she crouched in front of Wyatt's playpen.
"Right, and risk you getting shot, too? I don't think so." Leo replies
Chris and Lynx comes downstairs. "Okay, so we just sent our evil twins through the portal, although…" they see Leo healing Phoebe. "What happened?"
Phoebe wakes up and gasps.
"Thank god." Alexis and Paige state, they goes to Phoebe.
"Stay with Wyatt." Leo orders,
"I got him." Chris replies,
"Same," Lynx states,
Phoebe slowly sits up.
"You okay?" Paige asks,
"Yeah. Just remind me to never park on Mrs. Noble's driveway again." Phoebe replies
"Will someone please tell me what the hell is going on here?" Chris asks
"The neighborhood patrol shot her point blank and nobody so much as blinked an eye." Paige answers
"What? Why?" Lynx asks,
"Because by getting us all to the evil world, Gideon screwed up the balance, messed up with the grand design." Leo explains
"Well, if you ask me, the grand design is pretty messed up in the first place." Alexis states
"Wait, so are you saying because of what he did, our world is bad now, too?" Phoebe inquired
"No, on the contrary. It's good. Too good. Where every little infraction is a capital offense and everyone just accepts it." Leo answers
"Oh, so we're starring in a little movie called 'Pleasantville'?" Paige asks,
"Okay, how come we weren't affected?" Lynx asks,
"Because we must have been crossing over when the shift occurred." Leo answers
"Well, that must mean Gideon's not affected, either." Paige states
"No, he wouldn't be because he's an Elder." Leo agrees
"How do we know he's not using the situation to his advantage, you know, come after Wyatt again?" Chris questions
"Because I'm going to find him first." Leo answers
"No, you can't hurt him, Leo, not until he shifts the balance back, and you know he knows how to do that." Phoebe reasons
There was a pause when Paige broke it.
"Oh, my god. We totally forgot about Piper. We have to get to the hospital." Paige gasps
"Who's going to watch Wyatt?" Leo questions
"Lynx and I will. Look, we didn't come all the way from the future just to lose him now, all right?" Chris questions
Leo nods. He orbs out. Phoebe stands up.
"I think we should drive. I don't want to risk orbing." Phoebe suggests
"Hey, just watch your speed, okay?" Chris warns,
Paige, Alexis, and Phoebe leave.
"I never thought I would say this, but I'm truly afraid Chrissy," Lynx states looking at her cousin with fear in her eyes, Chris reached and took Lynx's hand and pulled her into a hug,
Somewhere in the Underworld; Barbas's lair. Barbas appears; fire on his sleeve.
"Oh, give me a break!" Barbas exclaims, he blows the fire out and whacks on his sleeve.
Gideon's voice states "You're lucky. It could have been worse."
"Well, well, well, well, well, well. The new Peeping Elder. How the mighty have fallen, so to speak. Show yourself." Barbas taunts
Gideon's voice replies "Only if you agree to a truce. I promise, it is in your best interests.
"Why not? This particular day couldn't get much worse." Barbas replies
Gideon appears. "Actually, it could. You could die. The world has changed, my friend, as you've obviously just witnessed.
"If you're referring to the witches constantly hunting me, that wouldn't happen to be some of your doing, now would it, friend?" Barbas questions
"Not by intent, but it's why I'm here. If I'm to shift things back to the way things were, to give evil a fighting chance again, and then you and I must work together." Gideon replies
"Now why would you want to give me a fighting chance?" Barbas inquired
"To restore the balance, the grand design, as I am honor-bound to do." Gideon answers
"Just out of curiosity, how is it this, uh, imbalance happened to occur? Come on. You can say it. I know you can. 'I made my move on the boy, and I screwed up.'" Barbas states
"I took a calculated risk." Gideon countered
"You screwed up. Now you want to hide out down here with me, and just hope that the boy's aunties don't know how to find you. Isn't that about right, friend?" Barbas asks,
"Believe me, you don't want this child growing up any more than I do, Barbas. His power is too great. He is an enormous threat to both of us." Gideon answers
Barbas reads his fear. "I see."
Gideon explains "Any shift between good and evil is supposed to happen naturally over time. By intervening, I've allowed too much good to corrupt the other world, and the only way to get it back is for a Great Evil to corrupt ours."
"Oh, and you just naturally thought of me? I'm very flattered." Barbas asks,
"I have to complete what I started, for everyone's sake. Help me distract the sisters…and I will help you get your world back." Gideon vows
Leo is trying to sense Gideon at the Golden Gate Bridge.
"You won't find Gideon that way." Carmela's voice states, Leo turns around as Carmela orbs down. "We've already tried."
"What are you doing here?" Leo asks,
Carmela wanted to thrash Gideon but she was on the Council of Elders now. "I am here to remind you of your responsibilities."
"My responsibilities right now are to protect my son." Leo replies
Carmela tilted her head to the side, "How, by taking revenge on one of our own?"
"Gideon stopped being one of us when he went after Wyatt." Leo answers
"Oh, that's not for you to decide. You're but one voice in a chorus, Leo. We can't allow you to take matters into your own hands." Carmela states
"Gideon did." Leo pointed out
Carmela nods in agreement "Yes, and look what he's wrought. The world is spiraling out of control. Innocents are being hurt, killed, all because one Elder acted alone."
"I know what I'm doing." Leo replies
Carmela sighs "Oh, Gideon thought he knew what he was doing, too. Truth be known, he was not alone in his thinking. There are others who share his fears of Wyatt, that your union with a Charmed One might've created too great a concentration of power."
"Wait, so you're on his side?" Leo accuses
"No, of course not. What Gideon's done is inexcusable." Carmela vehemently disagrees
"Then let me handle him." Leo replies,
"Please, Leo, your emotions are clouding your better judgment. The fate of the world is more important than any one child." Carmela reasons, but it hurt her to do so.
"Not more important than my son." Leo disagrees.
"They're all your sons, your daughters. They're who you should be protecting. That's the greater good. Come…help us find a way to restore what was while we still can." Carmela states
"I can't. Not until I stop Gideon." Leo disagrees, he orbs out.
"You're closer to him, Carmela, you can talk him out of doing something he will regret later, Carmela." The Elder mutters as she orbs back Up There.
At the Hospital. There are a lot of people with missing body parts wrapped in white bandages are there. Paige and Phoebe walk in.
"Wow, it's, uh…just as creepy in here as it is out there" Paige states
"Actually, creepier." Phoebe agrees
They walk over to the reception desk.
"Ah, welcome to San Francisco Memorial. How can I help, help, help you?" The receptionist questions.
"Well, you could take it down a notch." Alexis answers
Phoebe smiles. "Ohh, she's kidding." she giggles. "She's a kidder. Uh, just out of curiosity, what happened here? Was it a freeway accident?"
"Oh, heavens, no! It's always like this around here." The receptionist answers then whispers "Lawbreakers, you know."
Phoebe agrees "Right."
"You visiting?" The receptionist asks
"Uh, yes. Piper Halliwell?" Phoebe answers
The receptionist types on the computer."Halliwell, Halliwell…uh, what was her offense?"
Phoebe answers "Oh, no, no offense. She's having a baby."
"Ohh, a baby! Ohh, why didn't you say so?" The receptionist exclaims
"Cause we were just too excited." Paige replies sarcastically
"Oh, of course you are! There's nothing more exciting than a baby!" the receptionist Nurse exclaims, she looks at the computer. "Uh, room 1402, but don't dawdle. Visiting hours are almost over. You have a wonderful day, now, okay?"
"Day?" Paige asks, confused then she looks at Phoebe's watch. "It's almost eight o'clock. It should be dark now."
"Dark? Why on earth would anyone say such a depressing thing? Imagine the sun going away, not having sunshine all the time! Anyone who'd want that should be, well-well, shot!" The receptionist exclaims
Other people look over there, along with a Police Officer. Phoebe turns around, laughing and heads toward the elevators.
"She's joking! That's my sister the jokester!" Phoebe states as Paige pushes the button. "We're going to go see our other sister now. She's having a baby. Yeah. Okay. Have a good day…everyone."
They go in and the elevator doors close.
In Piper's hospital room; there's balloons in it. Piper's eating out of a JELL-O cup. Phoebe, Alexis, and Paige look in.
"Oh, there you guys are. Where have you been?" Piper asks
"She seems normal." Paige comments
"Come on, come in, come in." Piper states
"Piper, are you okay?" Phoebe questions
"Of course I'm okay. I'm having a baby, for crying out loud." Piper answers, she holds out the JELL-O cup and smiles. "Jell-O? It's really yummy."
"No, thanks." Paige replies
The Orderly walks in. "Excuse me. How'd you like your dinner?"
"Are you kidding? The frozen peas and processed turkey? It was to die for." Piper answers, the Orderly goes to remove the tray. "Oh, here, let me give you a hand." She notices his right hand's missing. They laugh.
"Piper, that's not funny." Alexis warns,
Orderly excused, "Oh, that's okay. It's my fault it even happened."
"Why is it your fault?" Paige asks,
Orderly answers "Oh, I used my cell phone in the hospital. Talk about your big no-nos. Hey, good luck with the little one."
"Thanks." Piper replies, the Orderly leaves. "He really should've known better."
"Piper, snap out of it! This is crazy-making!" Alexis exclaims
"What is?" Piper asks
"This, everything! You, the hand, the whole damn world! It's driving me insane!" Phoebe answers
"Phoebe, you really should not swear. They will cut your tongue out." Piper warns
"Ohh! This is ridiculous." Phoebe huffs
"Okay, Piper, you have to listen to me. Wyatt is in danger." Paige states
"What do you mean? What kind of danger?" Piper questions
"It's Gideon. He's trying to kill him." Paige answers, Piper laughs. "It's not funny! I'm being serious."
"That's ridiculous! He's an Elder. He couldn't hurt a fly." Piper states, she laughs.
Doctor walks in the room. "What's so funny?"
"Oh, don't ask." Piper asks then she feels a contraction and gasps in pain.
"Whoopsy! That's not good." Doctor states
"What's not good? What's going on?" Phoebe asks
"Those darn contractions. They're a lot more painful than they should be." Piper answers
"What does that mean?" Paige asks
"It means visiting hours are over. Buh-bye now." Doctor answers
"No, we're not leaving her." Phoebe states
"Oh, I'm sorry, but rules are rules. Did you want to keep your legs?" Doctor asks
"We'll call you." Phoebe replies, She, Alexis, and Paige leave.
"Okey-dokey." Piper agrees, she has a contraction. "Ouchy!"
Paige, Alexis, and Phoebe walk down the hospital hallway.
"Are you sure we should leave? I'm worried about her." Paige asks,
"We have to. We can't wait for Leo. We have to fix this. This isn't the world we want Chris to be born into." Phoebe answers "Or Lynx for that matter,"
"Okay, but how? Especially now that we're down a sister." Alexis asks,
"Maybe we should have another little talk with ourselves." Phoebe suggests
They leave. An Orderly turns around after overhearing them. It's Barbas. He goes to the end of the cabinet.
Paige, Alexis, and Phoebe walk down the hospital hallway.
"Are you sure we should leave? I'm worried about her." Paige asks,
"We have to. We can't wait for Leo. We have to fix this. This isn't the world we want Chris to be born into." Phoebe answers "Or Lynx for that matter,"
" Okay, but how? Especially now that we're down a sister." Alexis asks,
"Maybe we should have another little talk with ourselves." Phoebe suggests
They leave. An Orderly turns around after overhearing them. It's Barbas. He goes to the end of the cabinet.
"You were right. Piper's the only one of the sisters affected." Barbas states
"And therefore the only one that can affect her sisters." Gideon states as he appears. "She can cast a spell on them; make them think as she does so that they won't be concerned about me either."
"And your theory…is that I'm going to make her do this. How, exactly?" Barbas asks
Gideon answers "By doing what you do best, tapping into her fear of losing her sisters."
"I don't know. She's out in cloud cuckoo-land someplace. She's in a place where she doesn't even fear her own affliction. What makes you think she's going to fear losing a sister?" Barbas questions
"Family means everything to Piper, in any world. The sooner you hit that nerve, the sooner we both get what we want." Gideon answers, and then he disappears
Barbas peeks in Piper's room and sees the doctor and Piper.
At the Manor, in the attic. Chris is scrying, with Lynx touching his shoulder to boost his magic with her own.
Leo walks in with Wyatt. "Anything?"
"Yeah, I thought I had him for a sec, but then I lost him." Chris answers, "That's why Lynx is boosting my magic."
"Well, keep looking. Gideon's bound to surface again." Leo states, he puts Wyatt in his playpen.
"Well, maybe you should ask the other Elders for some help." Chris suggests
"No." Leo replies,
Chris stops scrying. "Huh. Trouble in paradise?"
"Let's just say we're not seeing eye to eye." Leo answers
"Well, then maybe you should…I don't know, quit. Look, the girls are going to need another Whitelighter the moment I'm gone anyway." Chris suggests
"That's not why you want me to quit, Chris." Leo states
"Okay, fine, I admit, I would like to go back to a future where my parents are still together, all right?" Chris asks
"It's just like I said when I was making the potion…the potion…" Leo answers then trails off
"What about the potion?" Chris asks
"Well, Gideon didn't want it to work, right? But he did want us in this other world, which means it probably does work, which means we can get you home." Leo answers
Chris and Lynx shakes their heads.
"No. we're not going back." Chris states
"Chris, you have to." Leo replies, "You too, Lynx."
"Not until I finish what I came here to do, and that's to save Wyatt from tur…turning evil." Chris replies
"What?" Leo asks
"Well, what I don't understand is, if Gideon always viewed Wyatt as a threat, why did he turn him evil in our future?" Chris asks
"It doesn't make any sense," Lynx agrees,
"I don't think he did intentionally. I think Gideon tried to kill Wyatt in your future…only just like in this time, he found out that Wyatt can protect himself. So, he probably had to get him away so he could figure out how to do it." Leo answers
"You mean kidnap him." Chris states,
"Imagine being taken away from us for weeks, maybe even months." Leo replies, Chris leans forward and puts his head down. Lynx wraps her arms around Chris' shoulders "Constantly fending off Gideon's attack."
They look over at Wyatt.
"I had no idea." Chris states,
"Me neither," Lynx agrees,
"We're going to change that future, Chris… for all three of your sakes." Leo promises
Chris and Lynx smiles.
Alexis, Paige and Phoebe went to Magic School and were looking around Gideon's study. Phoebe and Paige walk in. They begin looking around the room. As they talk, their voices echo.
"The Power of Four has worked before." Phoebe states,
"And now that my counterpart is back her side, we have the Power of Eight." Alexis agrees,
"Yep, but that was when we were in the same world. We can't even contact them now." Paige seconds
Phoebe picks up the telephone, puts it to her ear. "There must've been a way that Gideon contacted his evil counterpart." She hangs up the phone and picks up a paper weight.
"Hey, do you hear an echo?" Alexis asks,
Phoebe puts the paperweight down.
Alexis sees a fallen chess piece. She goes over to the mirror and pulls back the curtain, seeing Evil Alexis doing the same thing. They smile.
"I knew it!" Alexis' both exclaims
Both Paiges and Phoebes walk to the mirror.
"Nice to see you." Paiges greets
"So, is your world as messed up as ours?" Phoebe asks
Evil Phoebe answers "I've never seen everybody so miserable. It's like, every little good thing that happens…"
Paige interrupts "Gets punished."
"Limbs get cut off for saying Gesundheit." Evil Paige agrees
"I never thought I'd say this, but I would kill for some daylight right now." Evil Phoebe states
"Oh, we got plenty of it in our world." Phoebe replies,
"It sucks." Paiges and Alexis' states
"So what do you think happened?" Evil Phoebe questions
"I think we did too much good together when we were trying to get Gideon in your world." Phoebe answers
"My thoughts exactly." Evil Phoebe replies
Evil Alexis suggests "Maybe we need to do some serious evil on your side to shift the balance back."
Alexis agrees "Right."
"The problem is, I don't know if our collective powers will work with us in different worlds." Evil Paige states
"Well, we better think of something fast, because Gideon's still after Wyatt in both of them." Evil Phoebe replies
"The Power of Four." Paiges states
"What?" Phoebes asks with the Alexis' looking at their sisters confused
Paige answers "If we can cast a spell on our respective Pipers…"
"We're back to full power again." Evil Paige finishes
Evil Phoebe began "And bring us to your side so we could shift the balance back…"
"And then kick some ass." Phoebe finishes
Phoebes/Paiges/Alexis' agree together "I like it!"
In Piper's hospital room.
Doctor looks over Piper's ultrasound charts. He puts a hand on Piper's stomach. "Does it hurt when I touch here?"
"Yeow! Boy, that smarts." Piper replies,
Doctor states "Huh. Well, we might be looking at a c-section here, Piper. Might be the only way to get the baby out safely."
"Safely?" Piper asks,
Doctor smiles. "Oh, let's get another ultrasound, shall we? I'll be right back."
Doctor leaves. Piper takes a deep breath and puts both hands on her stomach.
Barbas flashes next to Piper, invisible. "Ooh, it would be so sad if your sisters weren't here to help you through all this. You heard what they said about Gideon. Imagine saying such ugly lies about such a nice person." He takes a step back.
Phoebe, Alexis and Paige enter.
"Gideon is trying to kill Wyatt. We have to stop him." Phoebe informs,
Piper disagrees "No, no, no, no, no. Stop it. He's an Elder."
"No, Piper, he's evil." Paige replies
"No, he's not. Now, shush, before someone hears you." Piper warns, Three Elders orb in. "No, no, no. Don't hurt them." She shakes her head. "They didn't mean it."
They shoot fire at Phoebe, Alexis, and Paige, burning them up. Piper gasps. The Elders disappear.
"You have to help them conform. Save them from themselves before it's too late and you lose them…forever." Barbas states, he disappears.
Piper picks up a journal and a pen. She begins to write. "Call now…the powers blessed be, to make my sisters happ-happy."
Meanwhile at the Manor. Chris is scrying. Leo paces the floor. Paige, Alexis, and Phoebe orb in.
"What are you doing here? Is Piper okay?" Leo questions
Paige, Alexis, and Phoebe go to the Book of Shadows.
"No, but she will be, thanks to us and our evil twins." Phoebe answers
"Wait, you saw them? Where?" Chris asks
Phoebe opens the book.
"In Gideon's office. Talk about your vanity mirrors." Paige answers
"We have a plan." Phoebe states
"Yeah, we're going to shift the world back from Gideon so he can't use it to his advantage." Paige explains
"How?" Leo asks
"We're going to use a spell to…" Phoebe begins
Lynx's eyes widen as she remembered this part in her mother's book about this and quickly mutters a spell to block Piper's spell from Alexis.
A sliver bubble wraps around Alexis, as Paige and Phoebe glow. Phoebe giggles, Paige smiles.
"What just happened?" Chris asks,
"I don't know." Leo answers he turns to Phoebe and Paige "Are you guys all right?"
"Yeah. Yeah. I've never felt better." Paige answers
Phoebe nods.
"Okay, so back to the plan. You were saying?" Lynx asks,
"Yeah, the plan was just to go see Piper in the hospital." Phoebe replies
"That's a really good plan." Paige agrees
Phoebe giggles. "I know."
Paige and Phoebe leave while Alexis was standing still completely confused.
"Future spell to protect against a relative's spells" Lynx answers, "I've inherited your ability to write spells."
"Thanks, I guess. But we need to snap them out of whatever happened to them," Alexis states,
"Uh-oh." Chris states,
Outside the Halliwell Manor. A sky-writing plane draws a happy face above the Halliwell Manor.
Phoebe and Paige walk down the stairs. Leo, carrying Wyatt, Chris, Alexis, and Lynx follow.
"No time to dawdle. There's a baby on the way." Phoebe states,
"This is crazy. You can't leave like this." Alexis replies,
They begin to walk to walk toward the first floor.
"Well, we can't very well ignore Chris' birth. We have to celebrate." Paige states,
"I'm the baby. I give you permission not to." Chris retorts
"What? And miss all the excitement?" Paige questions, they go down the stairs. "Seeing you for the first time, burping you, picking out a name?"
"I already have a name." Chris answers
"Oh, gosh. You do, don't you?" Paige asks, she gasps. "Well, now would be the perfect time to change."
Leo walks past them and puts Wyatt in the playpen.
"How did you get your name? It doesn't start with a 'P.'" Phoebe asks,
"It was Leo's father's name." Chris answers
"Aww…" Paige and Phoebe coos
"That is so sweet." Phoebe comments
"I can't wait to tell Piper." Paige states, she gasps. "I'm going to get her bag."
"It's in the kitchen, all ready to go." Phoebe agrees, Paige leaves the room. "Oh! You are going to be so cute! Yes, you are. Ooh! Yes, you are. Doo-doo, doo doo-doo doo." She walks away from Chris.
"Okay. We need to snap them out of this fast." Chris states
Alexis remembered what Lynx said about a relative casting spells against another relative, "Piper must have cast a spell. She's the only one who could do this to them."
"Why would she do that?" Chris questions
"She wouldn't unless…Gideon wanted her to, to distract them like he did before, so he can go after Wyatt." Leo answers
Paige and Phoebe come up with Piper's bag.
"All set!" Paige exclaims in a singsong tone
Phoebe holds the car keys. "Let's go."
"Wait. You guys can't leave yet. Gideon might be coming for Wyatt any minute." Leo states,
"Oh, is he baby-sitting?" Paige asks
"No, he's trying to kill Wyatt. Don't tell me you don't remember." Chris answers, Phoebe and Paige laugh. "You're laughing. That's great. Your nephew's almost killed, and you're laughing."
"You're silly. Yes, you are. Ooh, yes, you are." Phoebe replies in baby talk
"Like an Elder would ever, ever do that." Paige disagrees,
"It must be the spell. They don't remember because Gideon doesn't want them to." Lynx states,
"A spell? What spell?" Phoebe questions
The doorbell rings.
"Visitors." Paige informs,
Paige and Phoebe head to the door.
"Hey, stay with Wyatt." Chris suggests to Alexis, Leo, and Lynx, Chris follows. He steps in front of them. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait. Stop, stop, stop, okay? You cannot open that front door. What happens if it's the patrolman?"
Phoebe answers "That's a good point. I forgot to move my car."
"Finally." Chris states
"Well, I'll just have to take whatever's coming to me." Phoebe states
Paige nods. Phoebe steps past Chris.
"What?" Chris asks
Phoebe opens the door. It's Darryl. He's smiling.
"Hi, ladies. Chris." Darryl greets
"Hi." Phoebe greets, She shuts the door.
Paige states "We thought you were the patrol guy come to shoot Phoebe."
"Sorry. Actually I'm here to get Chris. I'm afraid I'm going to have to take him into custody for assaulting me." Darryl replies,
"Dude, I didn't assault you." Chris disagrees
"No, but Evil Chris did." Paige states
"That wasn't me." Chris argues
"You're still a fugitive anyways." Phoebe informs
"Okay, you're not helping, thanks." Chris retorts
"You know, I'm only giving you this chance because we used to be friends." Darryl informs
"That is so sweet, Darryl." Phoebe comments
"And, evil double or no, someone has to do the time." Paige states, she gasps. "Take him away, Darryl."
Paige grins. Phoebe and Paige leave the house.
"So, what? You're just going to leave?" Chris questions
"Listen, young man, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Your choice." Darryl answers
"I don't have time for this." Chris declares, he telekinetically throws Darryl out the door. "Have a nice day." He telekinetically closes the door, then walks over to Leo.
Leo explains, "I was thinkin' if Gideon did get to Piper, maybe he left a trail I could follow."
"Leo, I'm going with you," Alexis states, "Seeing as I'm the only one of my sisters that has common sense,"
"Okay," Leo agrees
Chris nods. "Hurry."
Leo and Alexis leaves.
~~~~Barbas's lair;~~~~~
Gideon paces around.
"If I know Leo, then right around now, he'll be figuring out that I made Piper cast the spell." Gideon states, "And Alexis might be immune due to her double magical core."
"A little correction: I made her cast the spell, remember?" Barbas inquires
"The point being, he'll go to Piper next to see if he can't find any magical clues to find me." Gideon answers,
Barbas corrects "Find me, you mean."
Gideon agrees "Actually, yes. But then again, that's what we want."
"Oh, really?" Barbas asks,
"With the sisters sufficiently distracted, Leo and Alexis are the last powerful beings in my way, one who you should easily be able to distract, whilst I make my move on Wyatt." Gideon answers
"Well, now, this all is starting to sound very interesting, but, uh, you know, it seems to me like I'm the one doing all the heavy lifting here. Have you noticed that?" Barbas questions
"Barbas!" Gideon exclaims
"While you-you're hiding out down here, relaxing in my lair, all safe and sound. What could possibly be wrong with that picture?" Barbas questions
"Leo is the last impediment, I promise. Paralyze him with his greatest fear. Keep him occupied, and we'll be one step closer to returning the world to a place where evil at least has a chance again." Gideon answers
Barbas chuckles. "Oh…you're such a tease. Okay, but Gideon, just so you know, I'm starting to lose my patience."
"I understand." Gideon replies
"Oh, good. Okay, now…have you any ideas on what a particular Elder's greatest fear might be?" Barbas questions
"Don't think of him as an Elder. Think of him…as a father." Gideon answers, "And if Alexis is with him….think of her as a mother,"
Barbas smiles.
At the Hospital; Leo and Alexis orbs into a closet door, then walks out. He stops a woman nearby.
"Excuse me? Uh, do you know where the maternity ward is?" Leo inquires,
The woman smiles."Are you kidding? That's everyone's favorite hangout. Just go in that elevator and…"
Alexis notices Paige and taps Leo's shoulder. Leo sees Paige walk in with a large stuffed animal and some balloons.
"Thanks." Leo states
Woman replies "You're welcome."
Leo goes over to Paige. "Paige."
Paige greets "Leo! Well, it's about time the nervous father made an appearance."
"Where's Phoebe? Is she with Piper?" Leo asks
"Of course. We would never leave Piper alone at a time like this." Paige answers
"Good, because I want to ask her if she's seen Gideon." Leo explains
"Gideon? No, silly, not with the complication." Paige replies
Leo repeats "Complication?"
Paige gasps. "Oh, dear. You don't know?"
"Know what? Is something wrong?" Leo questions worried
Paige answers "Well, I'm sure the doctors are going to find out any minute, and everything is going to be just peachy."
"I gotta go see her." Leo replies,
Leo turns to leave, but Paige stops him.
"No! That's against the hospital rules." Paige warns
"Screw the rules." Leo replies, he walks away.
"I agree, Screw the rules." Alexis states, she follows after Leo.
"Okay." Paige states, then in a singsong tone "but you're going to get in trouble."
Leo walks down the hospital hallway.. He looks over and sees Wyatt standing there.
"Wyatt?" Leo asks
Barbas, invisible, appears next to Leo and Alexis
"Watch as the thing you fear most comes to life and the future is lost." Barbas states
Wyatt grows into his adult form.
"Wyatt?" Leo asks
Wyatt walks toward him. "What's the matter, dad? Don't you recognize me? I'm the Wyatt you're trying to save, the one from Lynx's and Chris' future." He throws Leo hard into the wall. Barbas, invisible, appears as Leo stands up.
"You fear that there is no way to save him, that he is lost to evil." Barbas states
"Excalibur!" Wyatt summons, the sword orbs into his hands.
"And it's your failure as a father." Barbas whispers
"This isn't right. You're good. I'm here to save you." Leo states,
"I don't think so." Wyatt replies, he stabs him. Leo gasps in pain and falls to the ground.
"And you, Alexis." Barbas states, "You failed as a mother,"
"Lynx," Alexis gasped as she saw her daughter dead on the floor with an evil Wyatt standing over her.
"I hate traitors," Wyatt states looking straight at Lynx's body.
At the manor; in the attic. Wyatt's in his playpen. Chris and Lynx are looking through the Book. they hear a floorboard creak. they looks up.
"Hello?" Chris asks, Nobody's there. He looks back at the Book. There's another creak, like someone's walking. Chris goes over to the playpen and looks around the attic. He hears the walking. "Okay, it's time to get you outta here."
Chris and Lynx are suddenly magically thrown across the attic. they fall on a wooden table. Gideon appears in front of Wyatt. He looks at Chris.
"Don't make me sacrifice you both." Gideon states
Lynx flung up her hands to freeze Gideon but it didn't work, "Chris!"
As Gideon turns to pick up Wyatt, Chris telekinetically throws Gideon. Gideon makes an athame appear and vanishes from sight. Chris and Lynx rushes toward Wyatt. Suddenly, Gideon appears next to Chris and stabs him in the stomach, Chris falls to his knees, groaning in pain. Gideon pulls the athame out and stabs Lynx in her stomach too. Lynx fell on one knee as she glared at Gideon.
"Mom!" Lynx called out with her heart, soul, and mind.
"Dad!" Chris exclaims
Chris and Lynx falls to the floor. Gideon stands up.
At the Hospital. Leo falls to the ground. Alexis collapses sobbing. Wyatt walks away and disappears.
"Mom!"
"Dad!"
Leo and Alexis looks up.
"Chris!" Leo exclaims
"Lynx!" Alexis exclaims,
Barbas is still invisible, next to Leo and Alexis.
"In trying to save one son, you have lost both sons and a niece Very, very sad." Barbas states, he disappears.
"No-o-o-o-o!" Leo and Alexis cries
Leo orbs out. Alexis flames out.
At the manor Leo orbs to Chris, Alexis flames in next to Lynx
"Oh, god." Leo gasps, he turns Chris onto his back. Chris groans.
"Merlin's beard," Alexis gasps, as she pulled Lynx's head into her lap,
"Uhh…Wyatt. Uhh! Wyatt." Chris moans
Leo and Alexis looks over to see Gideon holding Wyatt.
"It's for the best, Leo." Gideon states, he orbs out with Wyatt. Chris groans in pain.
"Chris? Chris?" Leo asks,
"Lynx? Nymphadora?" Alexis asks,
Barbas's lair, He is waiting. Gideon orbs in with Wyatt.
"Well, finally." Barbas states as Gideon puts Wyatt down. "Now what are you doing? Would you come on? Let's get this thing over with."
Gideon backs away slowly. "Not so fast." he puts the athame on the counter. "This will take some thinking, and I prefer not to get stabbed again if I can avoid it."
Barbas taunts "How cute: The great big Elder's afraid of the teeny-weeny itsy-bitsy baby."
"Oh, he's much more than that, trust me. Cocky, too. Notice, his shield's not even up?" Gideon asks,
Barbas heads over to the counter. "His shield is not up because you've pierced it already. Fools and idiots." He picks up the athame. "Why is it, that every time you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself?"
Barbas goes to stab Wyatt, but he orbs out.
"No!" Gideon exclaims in dismay
Barbas falls on the floor. Gideon pulls him up.
"Slippery little devil, isn't he?" Barbas asks,
"Now look what you've done!" Gideon exclaims
"Well, you didn't tell me that he could orb." Barbas counters
"I didn't know he could. That's why I wanted to be careful. Although I doubt he's able to orb out of the underworld. Even he's not that powerful yet!" Gideon states
Gideon releases him.
"Well, I suppose all of this means that you've lost your interest in fixing the world at this moment." Barbas replies
"And allow the Charmed Ones the chance to rescue him? No! The world stays exactly as it is until Wyatt is eliminated. You and I will have to work together to find him, quickly!" Gideon exclaims,
"Or, perhaps, we could work together in order to eliminate him, seeing as how much trouble you're having by yourself." Barbas suggests,
"Interesting. It could work, especially if you bless the athame, too. But to try, we need to get him back!" Gideon replies,
"Well, then, you track him with his orbs. I'm going to, uh…" Barbas states, as he licks his finger and holds it up in the air. He takes a deep breath, sniffing the air. "Track him with his fears." He flames out.
Back at the Manor, Leo and Alexis managed to get both Lynx and Chris to Piper's bedroom. Chris and Lynx falls on the bed, weak and in pain. Leo kneels down beside him, trying to heal him. Alexis kneels down and watched as Leo tries to heal Chris.
Lynx reached weakly for Chris' hand, her beloved cousin, her older brother.
"You have to find Wyatt." Chris states
"We're going to find him together." Leo replies, "All four of us,"
"It won't work. You've already tried. Gideon's magic did this to us. He's the only one who can stop it." Chris replies, as he pushes Leo's hands away. "Just…go. Saving Wyatt saves the future. You know that."
"Gideon doesn't know how to kill Wyatt, remember? We still have time." Leo replies,
"Only until the trauma turns him." Lynx states, her breathing was labored as she was trying to get the words out,
"I am not going to choose between you, Chris and Wyatt, Lynx. I can't." Leo replies,
"I can't either, you both are special to me," Alexis agrees,
"You don't have to, dad. Find Gideon and you save us both." Chris states,
"Yes, you have to save Wyatt, saving him means we're all saved," Lynx seconds
"All right. All right, but I'm not leaving you alone. I'll be right back." Leo states,
"Where are you going?" Chris asks,
"To get another one of your aunts to watch over you." Leo answers, Chris breathes heavily. "You're going to be fine. Okay? I promise."
Leo leans over and kisses his forehead. He then orbs out.
"Momma, the scar is from battling demons from when I was eight, please don't let me fight until you feel I'm ready," Lynx whispers,
"Yes, I promise," Alexis vows,
At the Hospital in the waiting room. Phoebe raises a camera. Paige is sitting nearby.
"Okay, Auntie Paige, big smile!" Phoebe exclaims, Paige smiles. Leo orbs in next to Paige. The picture's token. "Leo!" She looks around and makes sure nobody sees him. Paige stands up and goes to Phoebe. "Don't you think you should be more careful? I mean, you don't want to bring back the witch trials." She gives him a big smile.
"Gideon got to Chris and Lynx. They're hurt bad." Leo informs,
"What? Now, why would Gideon want to hurt Chris?" Paige answers,
"To get to Wyatt, which he's done." Leo answers,
"Gideon is the paragon of all good. I told you that. Remember? Smile." Phoebe states, she takes a picture of Leo.
"But he-he's not good." Leo states, then looks around to make sure nobody's listening.) He's trying to kill my sons, your nephews and Alexis' daughter, your niece. How can that be good under any circumstances?"
Phoebe: Oh, I don't know, but there…
"You don't understand. Chris and Lynx are dying!" Leo exclaimed finally having enough.
Paige and Phoebe stop smiling.
"What?" Paige asks,
"I have to find Gideon, but I can't leave Chris or Lynx alone. Somebody has to be with them. Come on, I know deep down inside family matters to you more than this…twisted sense of right and wrong. You love them. I know you do. And that's gotta trump everything, even this stupid spell that you're under. You have to help me save them. You have to help me save them both, please." Leo answers, "Alexis is at her breaking point even as we speak,"
Paige and Phoebe glow.
"What just happened?" Paige asks,
"I think we were under a spell and he took us out of it." Phoebe answers
"Okay. Come on, let's go." Leo states,
"No. We can't all go. Uh, Piper's being prepped for surgery." Phoebe states
"Surgery? What's the matter?" Leo asks,
"They're not saying. Don't worry. We're not going to lose either Chris or Lynx." Paige states then looks at Phoebe "I'll go home. You stay here." She turns to Leo "And you, you go find Gideon."
Leo orbs away.
Paige orbs into the manor by the foot of the stairs.
"Chris? Lynx? Alexis?" Paige asks, as SWAT members come out from the closet, down the stairs, out from the dining room, pointing their guns at Paige. She raises her hands. "Easy. Easy."
Darryl and Inspector Sheridan come in from the kitchen. They're smiling.
"We got one of 'em. Stand by." Darryl informs,
"Darryl, what's going on?" Paige asks,
Sheridan greets "Good day, Miss Matthews. Where's Chris?"
"Chris? Chris who?" Paige repeats,
Sheridan breathes "Ooh…"
"Paige, please. We've been waiting here to give you one last chance to turn him in, for your sake." Darryl reasons,
"Go to hell." Paige replies,
Sheridan back hands her. She falls to the ground.
"Watch your tongue." Sheridan warns,
At Magic School; In Gideon's study. Leo pulls back the mirror curtain to find Darklighter Leo doing the same thing. They stare at each other in surprise.
"He's got to be hiding in the underworld." Darklighter Leo states,
"I agree. It's the only place he can go to avoid being sensed." Leo replies
"Which means he must have both of our Wyatts there, too." Darklighter Leo suggests,
"Still, it's too vast. We have to narrow it down." Leo replies,
"Wait. It is too vast. For Gideon, too, right?" Darklighter Leo asks,
"Somebody's got to be helping him." Leos answer in unison.
"But who?" Leo asks,
"Whoever helped him get to Piper in the hospital." Darklighter Leo replies
"I went to the hospital and tried to pick up a trail…" Leo began
"But I was overwhelmed with…hope." Darklighter Leo replies,
"Fear." Leo states,
"Barbas."
"So, if we find Barbas…" Leo began
"We'll find Gideon." Darklighter Leo finishes,
"For both of our sons." Leo states,
Both Leos orb out.
In a random cave in the Underworld. Two demons are feeding off of flesh. Wyatt orbs in. They look up.
"Check it out." Male Demon pointed out
"How'd he get down here?" Female Demon asks,
"Maybe the world's finally turning back in our favor." Male Demon answers, he goes over to Wyatt. Wyatt blinks and the Male Demon is vanquished.
"Or not." Female Demon states,
Wyatt blinks again and she is vanquished. Wyatt orbs out. Barbas flames in. He sees the ashes that was the demon.
"Damn. Barbas:" He sniffs the air. "Ah! Missed him by that much."
~~~~~at the manor~~~
Alexis looks up as two SWAT team members and Sheridan and Darryl come into the room, she stood up and put herself in between the bed and the cops,
"Get out! GET OUT NOW!" Alexis screamed
Paige ran up to the second floor as she heard Alexis' scream. "Leo! Leo!"
Leo orbs in. "Sorry. I was in the underworld looking for…" He sees her face and hears Alexis' heartbreaking sobs, "What's wrong?" The bedroom door opens. Two SWAT members leave. Sheridan and Darryl come to Paige and Leo. "What's going on? What the hell are you doing here?"
"Nothing. We didn't have to." Sheridan answers,
"I'm sorry, Leo." Darryl apologizes,
Leo rushes into the room. "Chris."
Chris weakly looks at Leo and weakly greets, "Hey"
Leo kneels next to him. Paige stands in the doorway.
Alexis was already crying and petting Lynx's hair,
"Hey. I'm here now. You can…hold on, okay? Hold on…hold on. I'm here. You can hold on, okay?" Leo asks, Chris nods. "Don't give up, okay?"
Chris nods. "You, either."
Lynx stares at her mother, "As long as I'm with Chris, I'm safe anywhere,"
"I love you, Kitten," Alexis replies,
"I love you too, mommy," Lynx replies, "So much…" then she closes her eyes,
Chris closes his eyes as well.
"No, no, no. Please…no. No, please." Leo and Alexis begs then Chris and Lynx dies "No."
Paige cries. Leo starts to cry. He puts his head down. Chris and Lynx slowly vanishes. Leo buries his face in the sheets. Leo looks up and sees Chris and Lynx are gone. Paige stands there, crying. Alexis gave a heartbreaking roar as she transfigured herself into her tiger form,
In the year 2020;
"What the hell?" shouted a pre-teen by the same name Nymphadora Ginevra Diggory- Halliwell, "Why would I be murdered!"
"Gee, I don't know sis, maybe because you had to be reborn into this future?" a pre-teen boy replies, "Come on, we have some demons to hunt before mom and dad come home"
"Get out of my room! Regulus!" shouted the girl, who went by her other self's nickname of Lynx,
"Then get your butt in gear before Wyatt comes over here," Regulus replies with a smirk,
"Oh If I only had telekinesis," muttered Lynx, she put the green and sliver braid into her mother's book to save her place even if she didn't need to. She stood up and left her room to go hunt demons with her cousins and brother who were the new Charmed Ones.
