Unnatural Resources
[Scene: Magic School. Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Cole, Leo, Coop, and Richard are there. The girls are looking through the Book of Shadows.]
Piper: The Source is a golem. Okay. We've dealt with golems before.
Paige: That guy was way hotter.
Coop: How did you defeat the Source before?
Prue: Which time?
Phoebe: We called on the power of the full line of Warren witches.
Paige: Clearly, it wasn't enough.
Prue: No, it wasn't. Which is why we're not just going to rely on our family this time. We are going to use the power of all white magic practitioners in the realm.
Paige: We are?
(They hear a loud bang.)
Phoebe: What's that? (They all look outside of a window and see the Source throwing multiple fireballs at the school.) Oh, look. Company.
Leo: The magical wards protecting the school should hold, but they won't keep the Source out forever.
Prue: We don't need forever. Just long enough. Paige, orb to everyone that has ever helped us and collect a bit of magic from each of them. We're going to make the strongest potion ever.
Paige: Okay, but I'm not going near the fairies, or the leprechauns, or the nymphs-
Prue: Paige!
Paige: Fine. What's with the soup bowl?
Leo: It's the phosphorus cauldron. It's strong enough to contain all forms of magic.
Prue: Start with everyone here, then get orbing.
Paige: Seriously, no leprechauns.
Prue: Paige…. Get to work.
[Scene: Cave. Neena and Hogan are there. Neena is mixing a cauldron.]
Hogan: I don't like this, don't like it at all.
Neena: Not enough garlic?
Hogan: Be serious. The Source is going to take out the Charmed Ones, and what are we doing? What are we doing?
Neena: I'll worry about the details. Just stand there and look pretty.
Hogan: With his demons so weak, this is the one chance I have of getting into his inner circle.
Neena: If all you want is to be the right hand of the Source, I'm sure that can be arranged. I've got more pressing concerns. This brew needs to be precise.
Hogan: I don't trust him.
Neena: Good. He's a demon. You shouldn't trust him. And he shouldn't trust us.
[Scene: Magic School. Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Cole, Leo, Coop, and Richard are there. The Source is still throwing fireballs at the school outside.]
Prue: Phoebe, go through the Book. We need the spell to end all spells. Take something from every page if you have to.
Phoebe: Every page?
Prue: Every page, every spell. Whatever it takes to finally vanquish the Source out of our lives forever.
Phoebe: How are we supposed to break through his rocky exterior?
Prue: (to Piper) Think you can melt him like the street in front of the manor?
Leo: It sounds like she sped up the molecules in the tar until it melted.
Cole: That won't work on the Source.
Prue: Then we need something else. Something that can cut through stone infused with magic.
Piper: I got an idea. But I'll need to borrow either Cole or Coop.
Coop: What do you need?
[Scene: Halliwell Manor. Attic. Piper and Coop beam in.]
Piper: There it is.
Coop: The sword in the stone? You keep Excalibur in your attic?
Piper: You live in one place long enough, you collect things.
[Scene: Magic School. Prue, Phoebe, Cole, Leo, and Richard are there. Phoebe is making a spell.]
Phoebe: Spell to end all spells, spell to end all spells. Sure. No pressure.
Leo: Phoebe, you've written dozens of spells. Hundreds. This is just one more.
Phoebe: This book is like three times the size it was when we inherited it. I can't condense it all into one spell.
(Prue, Cole, Leo, and Richard move away.)
Prue: This plan should work.
Cole: They're going to throw everything they've got at him.
Richard: And if that's not enough?
Leo: We can't stop him.
(Piper and Coop beam in with the sword in the stone.)
Piper: One sword for cutting through stone.
Leo: Think you'll be able to wield it without it overpowering you again?
Piper: All I need is one shot. Once our son gets it out of there for me. And then you're going to have to take the kids someplace safe. They can't be here when this goes down.
Leo: I know.
Prue: Take our kids too, please. Cole will go with you.
(Cole and Leo nod.)
Phoebe: Got it! If I wrote what you asked for, the spell would be ten pages long and we'd be dead before we said it. I went a different route. Hope that's okay.
(Phoebe shows Prue and Piper the spell.)
Prue: It's perfect.
[Scene: Cave.]
Neena: Exactly what we need.
(Neena pours blood into a cup.)
Hogan: Still don't understand why we couldn't just slice a vein on those innocents. So what if we had leftovers? I'm sure a demon could've put it to use.
Neena: The blood had to be taken while it still flowed through living veins. It wouldn't work if we spilled any in the process. There are rules.
Hogan: The same rules that kept you from killing any innocents yourself?
Neena: KIlling them was your choice. I only do what needs to be done. No more, no less.
Hogan: And this potion will help us convince the Source to share his power?
Neena: In a manner of speaking.
Hogan: But-
Neena: Hogan, you're really starting to bug me with this obsession.
Hogan: Do you think I care if it annoys you? Do you think I care about anything but the power? This is my chance to be more than some two-bit warlock that couldn't even blink across a room. I found the Source. I've proven myself time and time again. And now it's time for my reward.
Neena: Are you done? Because it's almost time.
[Scene: Magic School. Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Cole, Leo, Coop, and Richard are there. Prue and Cole are talking.]
Prue: You have to go with the kids. Leo and Richard don't have magic to protect them if the Source wins this. And Coop will need help.
Cole: Prue, you're going to beat him.
[Cut to Phoebe and Coop.]
Coop: I want to stay. I can help.
Phoebe: I need to know you're with the kids.
[Cut to Paige and Richard.]
Paige: Mrs. Winterbourne is waiting with the kids at the portal.
Richard: Are you sure your spell will keep me from turning evil when I get home? I don't want to risk hurting the girls.
Paige: It will work. I promise.
[Cut to Piper, Leo, and Tyler.]
Piper: Tyler, you've all got to go with the teachers. It's not safe here.
Tyler: Harry Potter let the older students stay in the battle for Hogwarts.
Leo: This is not Hogwarts. And you're not officially a student yet.
Tyler: But-
(The Source finally breaks through the wards.)
Prue/Piper/Phoebe/Paige: Go!
(Cole smoke-fades away with Leo and Tyler, and Coop beams away with Richard.)
The Source: So nice to see you again, girls. You ran off so quickly last time.
Prue: That was the last time we're ever going to run from you, from anyone. You want the Charmed Ones? We're right here. No matter what you throw at us, no matter what evil comes our way, we'll still be here.
Piper: Too bad we can't say the same for you.
(Piper melts through a wire, causing the chandelier above to fall down on top of the Source.)
Prue: Phoebe!
Phoebe: On it! (Phoebe runs towards the Source, levitates into the air, flips over the Source, and lands behind him.) Hey, big boy!
(Phoebe throws a potion at his feet and the Source laughs.)
The Source: My turn.
(The Source fires a massive energy beam at Phoebe, but she levitates out of the way.)
Phoebe: Piper!
(Piper jumps into the air with Excalibur and pierces the Source through the shoulder, causing him to scream out in pain.)
Piper: Paige!
(Paige throws another potion at him, this time the one made from the other beings of light, and the Source is consumed in white lightning.)
The Source: (in pain) No!
Prue/Piper/Phoebe/Paige: "The Power of Four we now decree/The Power of Four will set you free/The Power of Four will destroy thee."
(The Source is vanquished, causing a massive explosion which Paige contains inside of an orb shield.)
[Scene: Cave.]
Neena: "Ancient evil now destroyed/Others rise to fill the void/To build our strength within this hour/Leave vanquished Source, but share his power."
(Demons and other creatures of the dark are shown everywhere, growing in strength and power.)
Hogan: That spell was awful.
Neena: What are you, a lit professor? I'm not going for style points. I'm going for power. Pure power. To unite the demons, and other creatures of the dark, for a common goal, for a greater purpose, to serve my needs, to further my plan.
Hogan: Where's my share?
Neena: Right here.
(Neena fires energy beams out of her hands at him, trapping him in vines.)
Hogan: Neena! What's-What are you-?
(The vines completely envelop him and suffocate him to death. A demon walks over to Neena.)
Demon: What makes you think we're going to follow a… a…. What are you anyway?
Neena: Wouldn't you like to know?
[Scene: Restaurant space. Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Cole, Leo, Coop, Richard, and the kids are there. Phoenix, Persephone, Wyatt, Pagan, and Chris are playing. Melinda sits in a stroller and is reaching for a teddy bar on a shelf outside of her reach. Tamora, Kat, and P.J. are in baby carriers, sleeping.]
Piper: The owners snapped up my offer.
Prue: Can't imagine why.
Paige: The place could use some work.
(Grams appears and Phoenix, Persephone, Wyatt, Pagan, and Chris pull up short.)
Phoenix/Persephone/Wyatt/Pagan/Chris: Grams!
Grams: All it needs is a little love, a little blessing… and some major renovations.
PIper: Good thing we have an army of contractors on speed dial. They're coming over right after they finish on the manor, before the neighbors ask what happened.
Phoebe: At least all the infected mortals have conveniently forgotten everything.
(Paige looks over at Richard and puts a hand to her throat.)
Paige: Not all the mortals.
Grams: And how's my next generation of witches? I heard a rumor that Pagan got a new power.
(Prue nods.)
Piper: And Melinda's powers might have gone active, but the jury's still out.
Grams: I'll have to tell your mom. Any other exciting news?
Piper: The Source came back and tried to kill us.
Prue: We vanquished him, again.
Paige: Our powers are evolving.
Phoebe: And I'm going to write a book.
Paige: Otherwise, life's been pretty boring.
Grams: That will change when your little ones tap into their goddess-given gifts.
(Melinda keeps reaching for the teddy bear, getting more frustrated.)
Paige: Great. Something to look forward to.
Grams: Tamora and Kat might be in no rush. These things don't come on a schedule. At least there's no demon or cupid DNA muddying things up for them.
Prue/Phoebe: Hey!
Grams: Kidding, darlings. Kidding. No matter if my great-grandbabies are half-cupid, part Whitelighter, or even half-demon, or one-hundred percent witch… (Melinda suddenly orbs her teddy bear to her and smiles, but no one else sees.) every member of the Warren line is special in her or his own way.
