Leadership and Responsibility Thirteen.
Prue II: Now what do we do?
Cole: We have to tell Phoebe.
Peter: Yeah and clean up this mess before she kills us
SCENE BREAK - The Halliwell Manner.
(Phoebe and Piper were in the kitchen with Melinda when Phoebe suddenly collapsed onto the floor letting out a heart wrenching sob)
Piper: Phoebe? (Piper and Melinda ran to her and held her up she looked up at them tears running down her face)
Phoebe: It's Coop... He's gone (She says shakily, Melinda bites her lip)
Piper: What? (Looks at Melinda) Do you know something
Melinda: I swear, I would have told you but, Peter and Prue insisted. (Cole appears)
Piper: Did you have something to do with this?
Cole: Of course not, why does everyone think that -
Piper: Do you really need to ask
Cole: Anyway, Coop is my brother and the Cupids were the ones that took him to get his soul reincarnated.
Melinda: It's true, Prue, Aunt Phoebe's daughter and Peter saw death today.
Piper: Paige! (Paige orbs over... sees Cole and frowns)
Paige: What is going on? Phoebe are you okay? (Phoebe nods her head)
Piper: Get Prue we have a situation (Paige nods and orbs to get Prue)
Cole what the hell is going on? You'd better tell us now!
Cole: Then you'd better talk to Parker, Peter and Prue not me
Phoebe: (Stands up with Pipers help) What... are you talking about Cole!
What have you come back to mess up with my life again!
Cole: NOO! I told you they saw the angel of death, Coop has been taken
by the cupids
Piper: Cupids, what? We've never come across them in all these years of being witches.
Cole: They like to keep themselves separate from other magical communities to avoid any magical affairs, which is why Coop has committed a crime tarnishes their image I guess.
Piper: Since when did you start becoming Leo?
(Paige, orbs in with Prue) Prue: Sorry, crisis.
Phoebe: Well I don't want my kids involved, in this is there anyway we can summon Coop?
Cole: The cupids, took away his powers, and Prue seamed pretty admitted she wanted to be involved which is why I was called, all of your kids including Warren and Astrid were all together, Summoning the angel of destiny when Astrid threw an energy ball at... Peter.
Paige: Are you serious Cole? That kind of makes her a demon that we have to vanquish!
Cole: No because Prue uses her powers in defence, and Prue was provoking her in the first place...
Prue: So that makes it okay?
Cole: No but, nobody needs to vanquish Astrid alright?
Phoebe: If she hurts any of my kids again Cole, I swear. Anyway, if we can't summon Coop then how are we going to find him?
Paige: Well do you want me to go check with the elders see what they know?
Piper: Good idea, but Cupids aren't the bad guys remember we don't want to start another war.
(Paige orbs out again)
SCENE BREAK - Planet of the Cupids across the universe.
Coop looked around at the clouds surrounding him maybe he shouldn't have absconded in the first place. His hands were tied behind his back whilst two other Cupids were walking him into a cell.
Cupid: You will be detained here until your sentencing.
Coop: YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME (Coop is forced into the cell and the door is shut) I'm one of the good guys.
SCENE BREAK - Phoebe's apartment.
Parker: Maybe there's some kind of dark magic we can use to get dad back I mean Astrid, Warren you have your contacts.
Astrid: Not anymore, if I go down to the underworld then I'm toast.
Peter: Not a bad idea... but one of us goes poses as demons?
Prue II: I'm not sure that's a good idea.
Astrid: Do you just fight your parents battles all the time?
Prue II: Fine me and Prue will go down to the underworld with Astrid, who will remain unseen whilst you two boys find out what's happening here.
Warren:No wait I don't think that's a good - (The three girls, beam and shimmer out before they get a chance to protest) - Great.
Peter: You can say that again. Follow me to the manner
SCENE BREAK - HALLIWELL MANNER - THE ATTICK
(Meanwhile Prue and Paige were scrying for Coop, Piper and Phoebe were looking in the book about cupids)
Phoebe: Anything?
Prue: No, maybe you should try Phoebe.
(Cole shimmers in)
Cole: Well I checked up with Leo, and he doesn't know anything about cupids, no more than me they're so secretive.
Paige: And the elders don't know anything. go figure. Wait I just offended myself as clueless.
Piper: Someone's got to know something! Peter, maybe he knows he does cupid services.
Phoebe: Piper, I don't want my kids involved.
Prue: Yeah but he might be the only option, and if your kids have already seen death then were on a clock.
Cole: And Peter, might not he seamed pretty surprised when they arrived like everyone was.
Piper: That doesn't mean he doesn't know anything. and anyway if the cupids are so secretive they could be this big higher power that keeps bringing back demons you never know.
Prue: We're talking to Cole, like we trust him, we should get Jamie on this isn't he what like a whitelighter or something?
Cole: Jamie? Please, We're way more powerful and knowledgeable. than him, If I were evil I would have the power to attack you by now.
Paige: That's reassuring. or not.
Scene break - The underworld,
Parker, Astrid and Prue II were circling the underworld with no luck and three vanquishes.
Astrid: Okay we should have got one of the guys to come with us, or my dad. He's very good at interrogation with demons.
Prue II: Yeah we all know that, we just need to find the right part of the underworld.
Parker: What about where the old source, used to organise the underworld?
Astrid: That might work.
(They found the old sources headquarters.)
Demon: WITCHES! (he throws an energy ball which Prue II manages to manipulate with her own time power.
Prue II: Does anyone else want to die?
Astrid: Or I can send my dad after you, he used to be known as Balthazar. That would be worse he'd tare you to pieces.
Parker: Or the charmed ones, or you can follow our rules.
Demon 2: What do you witches want anyway?
Prue II: Your help (the demon looks over at his over demon friends not following)
Astrid: Does anyone know anything about the cupids?
Demon: May have come across them when we were working along side the source.
Parker: Well what we want to know is how to contact them, or how to get to their planet, because their planet is magic proofed sealed of do you have any dark magic you can use against them?
Demon 3: You'd be crazy to go up against the cupids they're gods worse than those elders you have.
Prue II: Or you can face the charmed ones to vanquish your sorry asses or Balthazar you choose?
Demon: I guess we have no choice, unless we kill you right now
Astrid: I know you guys, you don't have the balls to do that. All we wanna know is how to contact the cupids, or summon one, or anything like that.
SCENE BREAK - The Halliwell Manner, the attack.
Phoebe: It's not working!
Prue: Coop, can't have just vanished of the face of the earth.
Cole: Actually, that's exactly what he did.
Paige: Do you actually have any suggestions?
Cole: Well back when I was working for the source, they contacted the cupids, those demons are still around and might be able to help us.
Piper: We are not liaising our selves with demons, its never worked before.
(Peter and Warren both interrupt by using their powers to teleport in)
Cole: Warren?
Phoebe: Peter? Don't worry we'll figure out what to do with your father, you should have told me!
Peter: I'm sorry mom, have you got anything?
Piper: Well no, everything we try we hit a dead end with, is there anything you can think off that will help I mean you help the cupids don't you.
Peter: Yeah but its kind of just instant, they just assign me someone to find love for and I go and do it simple as, I've never reported to them.
Warren: Is there anything in the book of shadows?
Prue: Obviously not otherwise we wouldn't be in this position.
Warren: What about, a whitelighter? I mean Prue your son is whitelighter and there's Jamie...
Piper: Your dad thinks he knows more than the whitelighter's know
Warren: Well he's big headed what does he know, every whitelighter has their own individual story.
Phoebe: Hey where are the other girls? You were with them a minute ago Cole told us...
Peter: You see that's the thing, Prue, Parker and Astrid have gone down to the underworld.
Phoebe: WHAT?! Are you kidding me? We've got to go down there and rescue them!
Cole: How could you send them down there?!
Warren: To get information, look the old source the one before you his minions were in contacts with cupids so they went down there for demons to cooperate with them! Trust me they're safe, I mean Astrid can throw fireballs and all that.
Cole: Getting demons to cooperate please.
Warren: Dad have you got anything better?
Peter: We're running out off time to save dad.
Paige: If they're not back soon then we should go down there.
Warren: That could jeopardise everything. It could put them in even more danger!
Cole: You should have gone with them! You know those demons better than they know them!
Prue: Lets just go down to the underworld and force the demons to cooperate with us.
Cole: Me and Warren should both go.
Peter: No we should leave them too it. Trust them, they're not helpless they have powers to defend themselves.
SCENE BREAK The UNDERWORLD.
(Prue II, Parker and Astrid huddle up around the corner deciding what to do)
Parker: So they said they can teleport us there.
Astrid: Yeah or too hell guys, we should have brought a whitelighter Jamie or Alex, Wyatt, Chris
Prue II: And what if the demons recognised them!
Parker: This is stupid lets just vanquish the-
Cole: Need any help? You're amateurs.
Prue II: No they agreed to Cooperate with us
Cole: That is a teleport device they could have sent you anywhere, are you insane?
Astrid: Well we didn't know dad-
Cole: Of course you didn't know you were in experienced! You could have been killed.
Parker: Look dude, we were just trying to help are you gonna help us or not?
(Cole smirks and the what seams to be head demon steps fourth from around the corner and sees Cole, recognising him instantly.)
Demon: Balthazar? You promised, if we-
(Cole throws an energy ball at the demon instantly vanquishing him, the others step fourth ready to retaliate)
Cole: You really think we were going to trust you hand us your teleport device and none of you will have to die.
Demon 1: How can we trust you?
Parker: You can't. (With that a demon slaughter starts happening and the demons are vanquished in seconds they find the teleport device and teleport away)
Scene break -The Halliwell Manner - The attic
(They all teleport back)
Cole: (Holds up a black device like an IPAD) Got it.
Prue II: For the record we were doing fine until he showed up.
Cole: Yeah right
Phoebe: ARE YOU CRAZY! Don't ever do that again!
Parker: Well we got the device, thing.
Paige: The question is who's going to go up there?
Phoebe: Me and Cole should go, I mean he obviously knows how these cupids work and all that.
Piper: No way! What if you need the power of four? and Cole could imprison you or something
Astrid: Can you all stop with the imprisoning its hard enough to work with witches and be a good demon when your giving me a reason to throw energy balls at you.
Prue: Cole should go but Phoebe, we should go too and get the kids to wait at magic school.
Paige: Yeah with their unmusical fathers, literally all of their fathers are mortals except Coop and Cole who will be with us. And they're magical mothers will be up there with them.
Piper: Wyatt and Chris are perfectly fine handling themselves and I'm sure everyone else is too besides magic school is protected.
(Cole Places the teleport device on the table and the kids teleport themselves to magic school getting the others along the way. There was a zap of pink energy and they were transported across the universe)
SCENE BREAK - Planet of the cupids.
(The five of them arrive, Cole doesn't recognise)
Cole: Wow.
Prue: We are so powerless we don't even have a spell.
Piper: I would have thought off that if I needed one, Prue these are the good guys we just have to compromise with them like the elders.
Paige: Yeah and how much pain has that cost over the years?
Cole: Alright lets focus, Phoebe you need to think really hard about Coop, just Coop.
Paige: Um we tried that stupid!
Cole: Yeah it might be different now were on a different planet the same planet Coop is on.
Phoebe: If you want me to think then shut up a minute.
Cole: Wow shut up and stupid in less than one minute anything else?
Prue: How about your- (Piper hits Prue gently)
Piper: We're running out off time, this isn't about Cole. It's about Coop
Phoebe: OKAY GUYS, SHUT UP!
(Phoebe closes her eyes and thinks long and hard about Coop, suddenly, her, Cole and her sisters are transported to where Coop is lying before the head council of cupids.)
Cupid: HOW DARE THEY!
Phoebe: Coop! (Runs up to Coop but is dogged by a lightening bolt, she uses her own powers from her elder side do dodge it with another lightening bolt frightening the cupid.)
Cupid: An elder? This is obscene!
Paige: We're actually the charmed ones first thank you.
Phoebe: Coop, are you alright?
Coop: Yeah I'll live. (Coop looks up at her with cuts all over his face. Phoebe gasps.)
Piper: I'm surprised you haven't heard of us the charmed ones?
Cupid 1: Of course we have, we respect all species.
Prue: So do you guys have names or what?
Cupid: There are no need for names. We rule as one.
Coop: Without me, the elders sent me down to Phoebe and you knew that!
Cupid: Without our consent! You five shouldn't even be here its forbidden ground!
Cole: Thank death for that!
Coop: I'm going with them, Phoebe is my wife, Cole is my brother. I have three children, nephews and nieces back on earth.
Cupid 1: Your responsibility lies with us.
Piper: Look we know your not the bad guys, which is why we haven't brought any vanquishing potions or spells.
Cupid: Nobody can vanquish us.
Phoebe: Do you wanna put that too the test, just let Coop go!
Cupid 1: On one condition. He still finds love for his charges.
Coop: I wouldn't give that up anyway.
(The cupids, give them a nod and the six of them walk away)
Coop: So how did you guys even get here?
Phoebe: Well thank, Parker, our daughter Prue and Cole for that.
Cole: Yeah we got a teleport device from some of the demons that used to work for the old source.
Coop: What Warren?
Cole: No, the one with the half face.
(Phoebe turned around and hit Coop) Coop: What was that for!
Phoebe: Um for not telling me about those stupid cupid people.
Coop: I love you, I'd never leave you which is why I didn't tell you (Coop gave Phoebe a kiss on the lips, Paige placed the teleport device down on the floor. and they jumped through the teleport device back to earth)
SCENE BREAK - Magic school,
Andy: Come on Prue...
Leo: She'll be fine.
Henry: Hey isn't it weird we all don't have powers.
Leo: I used too.
(Meanwhile, Peter, Prue II and Parker are in another room and death comes by)
Prue II: No dad!
Death: The situation has been dealt with, your father will live.
Peter: Where are they? Mom and dad?
(Phoebe and Coop come barging in the room, Death vanishes)
Parker: Dad! (Parker runs up and hugs him)
Coop: Hey, that's unusual.
Phoebe: Its going to be okay now I promise (She hugs Prue and Peter tightly and they all head back home)
Happy ending yay! I hope you liked the background off Coop in this chapter, the next chapter will be up soon.
