A/N: Okay, sorry about the wait and i know the last one followed the script quite closely but there are subtle differences, they will become apparent towards the end of this chapter. This is the last one that will follow the episodes closely so please hang in here. I hope it's not too dreadful, the story will really start to take off from the next chapter. Again sorry it took so long, I was away abroad on holiday and now I'm back at Uni so that's why it took so long. Anyway, I'll leave you to read.

Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed or the characters etc...

So on with the next chapter...

"You expect us to beat the Titans dressed like this? Maybe at a costume party." Piper was the first to object.

"That's not a costume Piper. It represents your position and Power." Leo explained.

"Power? Power's good. I like power." Paige paused and thought for a moment. "Why do I like power?"

"Because you are the goddess of war."

"Ahh. Well, I guess that explains the pitch fork."

"It's a trident, a formidable weapon. Use it carefully," Leo warned.

"Right on. Who wants to fight?"

" I'm a lover, not a fighter." Phoebe objected.

"Naturally, you're the goddess of love."

"Well, then that must make me the goddess of sanity because I find this ridiculous." Piper fought back.

"Actually, you have dominion over the earth and all it's natural elements; Mother Nature." Leo smiled.

"Wait a minute, you did this to us?" Piper realised.

"Not me, Cecil did, I just helped him. Look, forget about that you'll need to stay focused on the Titan's, it won't be easy as you'll all have drives and urges based on your powers. You need to fight them and work together on this."

"Hey, guys, watch this." Paige interrupted, demonstrating Leo's point as she pointed her trident at the piano and a bolt of lightning hit the piano, breaking it to pieces.

"Put that thing down, you're gonna hurt someone." Piper scolded.

"I certainly hope so. Do you know the kind of damage this thing could do?"

"Paige, make love, not, you know. There's no door love can't open, no wall love can't climb, not hurdle love can't... (She thinks.) Hurdle." Phoebe tried.

" This is your strategy? Well, you must have lost it up there because these girls can't be seen in public, much less..." Piper trailed off as Phoebe interrupted.

"Ooh, that reminds me. I'm late for the bachelor auction. I'm gonna go pick up a guy or two, or twelve." With that she clapped her hands and a pink misty heart appeared as it swirled around her she disappeared.

" Ooh, that's a good idea. I'm gonna go get in some target practice with some demons. Watch out Titans." Paige followed suit as she disappeared in a circle of lightning bolts.

"Piper, you need to go after the, your role is to provide balance. That's why you feel so grounded and in control." Leo finally spoke.

"Oh no, this was your plan, you do it." Piper defied.

"I have to go back up to Cecil or I'd stay and help Piper, you know I would, but if the Titans come back he'll need me to orb him to safety." With that Leo orbed out before Piper could respond.

Paige and Piper reappered in the Manor and Piper promptly took the Trident off Paige.

" Not in the house." She put it aside."Now let's go find Phoebe." At that moment the Elf Nanny walked in pushing the baby pram.

"My word, this is a house of ill repute. Hardly suitable for an infant." She stated before walking off leaving Piper confused.

" Wh- What do you mean?" Piper questioned but the elf nanny was already gone. They heard voices coming from the living room. And quickly followed the noise. Phoebe was lying on a red sofa, surrounded by half-naked men. Some of which were fanning her with a large feather, while another massaged her feet, and another was feeding her grapes.

"Oh, make sure you peel those for me, will you?" Phoebe asked one dreamily.

"Phoebe? We need to talk." Piper demanded.

"Yes, we do. The world would be over flowing with peace and love if only we just talked more."

"Mm-hm. What are they doing here?"

"Oh, worshipping me, adoring me, exalting my name. There is so much love in this room I can barely stand it."

"Me neither. It's time to send your groupies away, now."

"But serving me makes them so happy." Phoebe explained as one of the men handed her a chalice. "Thank you, bachelor number three."

"Alright, all of you, show is over. Move along." Piper had had enough.

"We live to serve Phoebe." Evan objected.

"Oh, you do, don't you? That's so sweet. Piper, you need to get some followers of your own. It's a really great confidence builder." Phoebe insisted.

"Are you eyeing me, soldier?" Paige had now got some of the men lined up.

"Alright, all of you, out!" Piper shouted pointing to the door, a gust of wind blew through the room and the men landed in the foyer all on top of one another. They quickly got up and raced outside, afraid of Piper. "Time for a morality check. Leo did not give us this power so we could form armies or love cults." Piper sent a pointed look at Paige and then Phoebe. "The ancient Greeks indulged in their whims that way and look what they became." She paused, realising it would take more than that to get through to them. "Now... hi!" She poked Phoebe with a pillow. "Can you two get it under control?"

"Reason and judgement are the qualities of a leader. Tacitus, 100 A.D." Paige quoted.

"Love will keep us together. Captain and Tennille. 1970s." Phoebe also quoted, though it was perhaps slightly less inspiring a quote.

"Fascinating. Now, can we figure out a way to beat the Titans, 'cause I for one would like my family back. Soon." Piper dismissed, before anyone could speak again they heard a noise.

"Is that a jingle?" Phoebe wondered aloud.

"Who's jingling? I thought there weren't any Elders up there." Paige was confused, and slightly suspicious.

" Leo?" Phoebe offered.

"Leo can't jingle, but he said he was with some elder so maybe he did it." Piper theorised.

"Regardless, he says an Elder's under attack. Like it or not, it's time to face the Titans." Paige acknowledged.

The reappeared in a sewer. The remaining Elders were there, clicking away. Piper, Phoebe and Paige stood off to the side. Unsure what had just happened.

"Is everybody okay?" Piper checked.

"No. Is my hair singed?" Phoebe fretted as she spun in circles trying to see.

"You're fine." Piper assured her.

"I guess we're not so all powerful after all. How'd we get out of there?" Paige wondered looking round.

"I guess Leo must have orbed us out. But I don't know how, he doesn't have that kind of power."

"Well, he must have because we're out of there. What is this place, a sewer?" Paige countered. Roland turned to them to explain.

"This is sanctuary."

"Oh, my, my, my." Phoebe said immediately getting distracted, she walked over to him. "Aren't you just the edible Elder? Have you taken a vow of celibacy?"

"Phoebe. Stay on target." Piper warned.

"Right."

"What do you mean this is sanctuary?"

"It's a safe house. Suggested by Leo to protect the Elders."

"Well, it doesn't look so safe to me. I can see unprotected points of entry all over the place."

"Don't worry, the Titans can't sense our location. We're hidden from them by a web of fairy magic. Another of Leo's ideas. Though Cecil was the main one to implement them." Roland went on to explain.

"Leo did all this?" Piper pondered.

"I was surprised myself. I'm afraid I was one of the Elders who always sold Leo short. What with him marrying a witch and all. No offence."

"Offence taken."

"I will never make that mistake again. Without Leo and Cecil we'd all be dead. They're out there now tracking Elders as we speak, moving them here. We owe Leo everything. It was all his idea."

"I guess so." Piper agreed.

"Well, good luck with the Titans." Roland offered.

"One more question. What are you wearing under that robe?" Phoebe couldn't resist.

"More robes." Roland answered before walking away, causing Paige to laugh.

"Oh, that is so hot."

"This is getting tired." Piper sighed.

"A warrior preparing for battle cannot be weary." Paige piped up.

"No, I'm tired of getting all this information second hand and no one actually telling us how we can even do this. I would like to hear it from Leo." Piper explained.

"Piper, I'm sensing a blockage in your spiritual energy. What's wrong, sweetie?" Phoebe tried to sympathise.

"I need to talk to my husband. I-I appreciate him becoming a magical folk hero for the masses and all, I really do, but enough is enough. Leo! Remember me? Your wife!" Piper began to shout, receiving only a jingle so got angrier. "Don't you jingle me. I need more than a jingle here, mister. You will get down here right now!" she demanded, causing the sewers to shake.

"Are you trying to alert the enemy?"

"Piper, I'm sure as soon as Leo figures out how angry you are, he's gonna come running down here." Phoebe soothed. They looked up and waited a moment. "Okay, you can come running now." Phoebe addressed Leo. " Look, sweetie, it's not like he's not busy. He's saving the world."

"And buying us time to vanquish the Titans. Although, I don't know where we're gonna get the strength from. They had no problem with my power." Paige added.

"Then let's try my power." Phoebe suggested.

Paige and Phoebe had no luck with their battle simulations and began to lose hope, meanwhile Piper had been focused on looking after Wyatt, and Leo sensed their lack of morale, they needed him, they needed to know what was going on. He was hiding behind a pillar having sent Cecil to sanctuary when they sensed the Titans coming. He had sent a message to the Elders hoping they would get it, he needed to get out to his charges, he just wasn't sure how to do it without leading the Titans straight to them. His answer appeared soon after in bright white lights.

"What are you doing? You're gonna expose us?" Leo hissed.

"The Elders sent me as a distraction." The new Whitelighter whispered.

"Did you sense that?" Cronus asked.

"Someone orbed." Demetrius agreed. The Whitelighter turned to Leo.

"I'll lead them away while you got to your charges." He quickly explained.

"They could kill you." Leo worried.

"The Charmed ones are the only ones that can save the world, they need you, my life is a small price to pay. I'll hold them off as long as I can." The whitelighter explained as he stepped into view of the Titans before quickly dodging out again to escape the stream of fire Cronus had thrown at him. Leo nodded.

"Thanks," Then he orbed away, leaving the other Whitelighter to deal with it, hoping he could save him too.

When he arrived at the manor he found Piper lying on the bed. She sighed.

"Leo, how could you leave us?" She wondered aloud.

"Hi, Piper." He whispered, in response as she turned to see him.

"You're home." She went over and hugged him. "You heard my calls, right?"

"Of course I did, honey. But I had to make sure the Elders were safe and then I was cornered by the Titans."

"I'm just thankful you're okay. My mind was just racing."

"I know. I felt it. Good thing that Whitelighter came when he did."

"What Whitelighter?"

"He distracted the Titans so I could escape. Right now they're probably following his orb trail so we don't have..." He trailed off when he noticed Piper looking at his hair.

"What's wrong with your hair?"

"What?" he asked as she touched a patch of his hair.

"Um, it's white." She answered.

"Is it?" He then looked in the mirror. "Wow, it must be from staying up there for so long." He gave her a feeble excuse.

"I guess so."

"Where are your sisters?" Leo changed the subject knowing that Whitelighters life was in danger.

"Well, they can wait a minute while we spend some time alone and then you need to hold your son." Piper redirected.

"Spoken like a true earth goddess." Leo smiled fondly.

"What are you talking about?" Piper was confused.

"You need to channel your hearth and home instincts to fight the Titans." He explained.

"Leo, I was speaking from the heart not the hearth. Hi, I'm your wife, remember?"

"I do, but that Whitelighter can only throw off the Titans for so long. He's willing to sacrifice himself. We need to be ready with a battle plan. Now, let's find your sisters." He insisted, Piper then followed him into the hallway without protest just as the Elf Nanny walked around the corner.

"Ma'am, I was just coming to check on the baby."

"That's okay, 'cause he is actually sleeping, so you can take a break." Piper offered. The elf nodded but continued into Wyatt's room all the same. Piper sighed before continuing downstairs with Leo. They found both Phoebe and Paige in the Parlour, Phoebe reading up on Zeus.

"It says in here that Cronus swallowed his new born children to keep them from over throwing him." She read discusted.

"What if you lure the Titans to a field, Piper lifts them with a tornado, and I hit him with my lightning?" Suggested Paige who didn't seem to be listening to Phoebe.

"I'm afraid there's no way to beat a man who eats his own children." Phoebe continued, also seemingly in her own world.

"Those stories are fables." Leo reminded them.

"Leo!" Phoebe shouted excitedly as she hugged him.

"Welcome home, Leo." Paige greeted.

"What do you have for me?" Leo got straight to the point.

"Paige ran every battle plan she knows which as a war goddess is basically every battle that's ever been fought." Phoebe started.

"No matter how you spin it - warrior, seductress, earth mother - we don't have the power to defeat the Titans." Paige finished.

"We can't beat them. They're too strong for us." Phoebe said, defeated.

"See how much this family needs you?" Piper added.

"No. I don't. You can do this without me. And it's not because you have the power of gods or the power of three. It's because you are the greatest force of good that I know and that's why we chose you." Leo's speech had immediate effect.

"Oh, see I could just feel the confidence wash all over me. He's doing it." Phoebe sounded excited.

"What is he doing?" Piper was just confused.

"Paige, you know exactly where to find the power to conquer the Titans."

"I do?"

"Yes. You just need to focus."

"We have to declare ourselves gods." Paige realised.

"It's how the ancient Greeks did it."

"But we could lose our humanity if we did that." Piper pointed out

"I know you, I know you can do this." Leo encouraged.

"But Leo, the ancient Greeks lost their humanity." Phoebe backed up Piper.

"You're not the ancient Greeks, you're the Charmed Ones. I didn't give you anything you can't handle. Phoebe, you lost yourself to the darkest love that ever existed and you came back. Of course, you can handle being the goddess of love." Leo started again.

"I never thought of it that way."

"Paige, you're the goddess of war because you've been consumed with gaining power but you've never let the power consume you. Piper, is it any wonder I made you the goddess of earth? You are everything that is good and beautiful in this world. The mother of my son."

"You really have that much faith in us?" Piper asked.

"Do you really even need to ask that? It's like I've always said, your power comes from your emotion and right now you need to dig deeper than you ever have before. Whatever motivates you. Your heart, your soul, your darkest fears. Whatever it takes, you need to find that and channel it into power. Power not to capture the Titans, but to destroy them forever." Leo finished his speech. His face suddenly fell.

"Leo? What is it?"

"The Whitelighter, they got him. You need to be ready. They'll be coming for me, now." Leo urged.

"What do you mean coming for you?" Piper didn't seem to understand.

"I helped set up sanctuary, they want the rest of the Elders and I'm the only way they can find us." Leo hurriedly explained. Moments later there was a crash in the living room. They all rushed to see the Titans. Cronus shot a flame as Leo who quickly ducked out the way. It was enough to enrage Piper and Paige. They declared themselves as gods. After that everything happened quickly. While Phoebe tended to Leo, making sure he was okay, the Titans tried to attack Piper and Paige to no avail.

"It's not nice to piss of mother nature." Piper quipped before holding her hands out, a hole in the ground opened up and objected around the room began to be sucked into it, the Titans took a step back away from the hole. But Paige wasn't letting them get off that easily, With her trident she zapped the floor underneath their feet, causing them to fall into the fiery pit. Piper then allowed the floor to rise and seal the hole up once more.

"The Titans are gone, thank god." Phoebe said in relief.

"You're welcome." Both Piper and Paige responded.

"You did it, Piper, Paige. You found the power you needed. You all did. Now it's time to give it back." Leo congratulated them. Before anyone could say another word however both Piper and Paige disappeared. Leo immediately turned to Phoebe. "I wish I could help but I need to return to the Elders and help them get back Up There and restore order. You need to find your sisters, Once you have them I'll return so they can give up their powers, I'll leave yours in you for now as you may need it to find them." Leo explained before he orbed away.

"Leo!" Phoebe shouted, trying to call him back in vain. She then set to thinking about where her sisters would be.

In the end it wasn't too hard to find Paige and she was ultimately able to pull her back to her humanity. After that they called Leo to release them. It was freeing to say the least to finally have the god powers out of them but they still had to find Piper, a job he continued to refused to help with, much to Paige and Phoebe's chagrin as they reminded him Piper was his wife.

After they managed to find Piper by Golden Gate Bridge they were able to talk her down enough that she headed straight to Leo Up There. It was only when he agreed to return home with her that she finally released her god powers. The effects of the Titans wasn't immediately obvious, they took a while to take effect. The charmed ones had shown they were, as far as the Elders were concerned, perfectly capable of doing their jobs and perhaps didn't need quite so much of their Whitelighter's attention. Since he had played such an important part in protecting the Elders as a reward, and due to the loss of whitelighters and Elders, Leo was given more charges, as he proved to be an invaluable guide to witches.

It was perhaps these small events that lead up to how the future panned out. With more charges Leo was away more. Piper and Leo's marriage seemed to be falling apart. That was until a shining light gave them hope again: Piper became pregnant.

Okay, as I said, it changed at the bottom, hopefully now you can see why I started back here. Now to guest reviews:

To sarah, I'm not sure whether you were the same person that reviewed later when signed in as the reviews are quite similar but in case you aren't, thank you for the review, I know it was a strange place to start, hopefully now you can see why, and I appreciate I could have done that in about a paragraph explaining what happened but I wanted to do it this way. Yes, i know what you mean, i like to read about how that world could be, I kind of wish they gave up more about it during the show, but I guess then we wouldn't need to write and read stories about it. As I said it should pick up properly next chapter, I hope you like it. thank you again. To Guest, thank you for the review, she will come in, it just might be a bit later, I considered adding her name later when she came in but my internet connection was playing up so in the end I added her name to it anyway, I appreciate that that seems like strange reasoning. And it will follow the story we were given in the series, in which Chris apparently turned her good, it will be interesting to see how that turns out... thank you again.

So I hope you enjoyed it, Let me know what you think and see you in the next chapter. (*smiles*)
