SEVENTEEN PRINCESS AND THE PRINCE.
The Penthouse.
(Phoebe and Cole were now arguing at Cole's penthouse about who was going to stay with Payton. Warren was listening in his room when Paige orbed in with Piper and Prue)
Piper: Are they still arguing.
Warren: Yeah they 're acting like kids.
Prue: That's Cole, for ya.
Warren: Its mom too.
(Prue, Piper and Paige walk out of Warren's bedroom)
Cole: Phoebe, she'll be magically protected if she stays with me trust me. I mean no offence, your an elder which means your always up there and Coop is a cupid which means he's always busy which means there's nobody there to protect Payton.
Phoebe: Oh and getting her to use her demonic powers is going to work out so well, I mean it worked out for you and Warren.
Paige: People, please lets have some order here its like family court. But Phoebe, I can't believe I'm saying this Cole's right, you aren't always around which means Payton can be vulnerable.
Cole: Thank you Paige. I work as a lawyer but I can always find other ways to keep the income in.
Piper: Well maybe it would be best if Payton stays at the manner and you two can both stay there. Then she'll always be magically protected, I mean I'm always there, so is Chris, Wyatt and Melinda.
Phoebe: Yeah but so are demons Piper, that's like handing her over again, Zankou will be after her again.
Prue: Not to be funny but where is Payton?
Cole: She's sleeping, in my room. (Paige goes and checks and finds an empty bed, Cole and Phoebe run in along with Prue and Piper, Paige looks under the bed and Payton is hiding under there)
Paige: Well hey there. (Paige, screams as she sees an energy ball flying her way.) She's under the bed.
Cole: Payton? (he ducks under the bed and Payton is lodged up against the wall) Hey were not going to hurt you, come on out. (Payton manages to throw another energy ball in Cole's direction she just misses)
Piper: (Piper ducks under the bed) Hi sweetie, why don't you come on out of there? (Payton, crawls out from under the bed on one of the sides, but stays down, crouching just seeing them all above the bed.)
Phoebe: Why don't you come on out, and have something to eat?
Payton: No thanks,
Phoebe: Just stay out from under the bed okay?
Payton: There's a demon in the house,
Prue: What? where?
(Suddenly a lamp near Payton shape shifted into Zankou, Payton ducked out the way of an energy ball)
Zankou: Sorry I had to wait for the right moment,
(Cole, uses his telekinesis power and plunges Zankou out of the window, and shimmers over to Payton making Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige all jump)
Paige: Okay lets get her out off here, um magic school?
Phoebe: Yeah lets go, (Paige and Phoebe orb out with Payton, Cole looks around waiting for Zankou to attack, but he doesn't)
Warren: (Warren walks into the cluttered bedroom) Dad what is going on? (Cole puts his fingers on his lips, and throws an energy ball at the nearest table but it wasn't Zankou,
Cole: Damn Zankou,
Piper: You know maybe we should all just go back to the manner and figure out a permanent way to vanquish him.
Prue: Won't he just spy on us there?
Cole: We can still find a way to Vanquish him. (Suddenly the bed behind Cole shape shifts into Zankou, and he clicks his fingers and several other demons are at the house. Piper blasts a few off them and Prue knocks Warren out of the way of the demons into the main hall)
Piper: COLE! WARREN! (Zankou is now standing behind Warren but Piper blasts him and Cole sends an energy ball flying his way, )
Zankou: You won't win, we'll get your girl back she's to precious, to lose.
Cole: I'm not letting you, get her again, (Zankou throws an energy ball at Cole sending him into the wall knocking him out and then vanishing along with his other demons)
Warren: DAD! (Warren rushes over to Cole, who is unconscious)
Prue: I can get Alex to heal him, Alex! (Alex orbs in wearing a strange fighting gear costume)
Piper: What an earth are you wearing?
Alex: Oh me and Patty are about to fight in the battle of Hastings, remember the British war in Hastings, yeah its for my charge...
Prue: Anyway, heal Cole, he's injured.
Alex: I thought you hated him Mom, your always telling dad about how he tried to kill you and your sisters.
Prue: Just do it Alex please. (Alex kneels down and heals Cole, quickly and Cole starts to stir and wake up)
Cole: What...happened?
Piper: Zankou, Warrens alright. (Warren helps Cole up)
Cole: Thanks, um... Alex isn't it? (Alex nods)
Alex: Anyway gotta orb. (Alex orbs out)
SCENE BREAK - Somewhere in Paris, Meanwhile Astrid is helping Peter out.
Peter: Thanks for coming.
Astrid: Why did you call me anyway? You couldn't have asked dad or something?
Peter: Look, I need your help, some evil witch is after my charge I can't vanquish her on my own I thought if we work together...
Astrid: Alright I'll help you so who's this witch then?
Peter: Come on, I'll show you...
(Upon the shadows an evil witch lures them, looking into Astrid's powers of evil, A spell she thinks she'll cast on to turn her to the dark side..)
SCENE BREAK HALLIWELL MANNER
Cole: Okay we vanquish Zankou but how does that stop other demons, coming after Payton.
Paige: It doesn't. We had the same problem with Christy you just have to fight them off as an when, I mean Zankou is the big bad that should sent a pretty clear message.
Phoebe: How about from the last two times, we vanquished him...
Prue: I take it he's a hard demon to vanquish then,
Piper: We had to vanquish the nexus to get rid of him the last time, and that was in our astral selves, maybe that weakened him which is why he's easier to vanquish.
Cole: It would have, if you keep vanquishing demons, their energy becomes weaker and lest resilient.
Phoebe: Yeah we know Cole, thanks and anyway besides you that is.
Cole: Your love is the strongest pull in the universe Phoebe, and besides I'm not a demon.
(Leo uses a potion and comes in with Payton)
Phoebe: Leo what are you doing this is far to dangerous.
Leo: Payton said that she has something that might help,
Payton: I've over heard the demons talking for a long time now, and... I know where the source used to keep Zankou when he banished him.
Paige: Yeah how does that help us?
Payton: Well since the source is dead, I know there's a coded message on the grave where he was banished if he was ever to return you say that spell then, Zankou is gone for good.
Piper: But if the source had that sort of power in the first place why didn't he just, use it and kill Zankou?
Payton: He was hoping witches would find it
Cole: Hang on a minute if we vanquish Zankou saying that spell how do we know the source hasn't put some kind of bargain for himself, gaining Zankou's powers a way back to the underworld and life its self.
Payton: We don't but we have to try!
Prue That's too much off a risk to take, I'd trade Zankou for the source any day of the week.
Payton: Zankou, kept me in prison for years are you serious?
Cole: No, honey we just want what's best for you and trust me the source coming back isn't a good thing, he's the one who wanted you in the first place, who recruited demons to kidnap you and train you in the demonic academy.
Payton: You can't just let Zankou live!
Piper: We can't vanquish him like that, maybe if the message is decoded before we say the spell.
Paige: There might still be a backfire too it!
Payton: You have to try I can decode it for, you I've heard them say it for years I've read their inscriptions.
Phoebe: I have a question how come Zankou can't sense your here,
(Zankou shimmers in, two guards are holding Warren down to the floor, with his arms behind is back)
Zankou: I do, I have a compromise you might want to hear, especially you (He points to Phoebe) and my old friend Cole, its a shame really Warren had so much potential. (Zankou clenched his hand and Warren falls to the floor, out of the guards grip clenching in Pain the colour is draining from his face. Cole moved Payton back)
Cole: We're listening.
SCENE BREAK - PARIS
Christy: Peter, your back?
Peter: Yeah I brought, Astrid like you wanted.
Astrid: Where's the evil witch? I thought you had a charge, Peter!
Peter: Well I knew, you guys weren't bonding as usual mothers and daughters do, and considering I'm I cupid. I can fix family relationships as well now this is a chance for you two to get to know each other,
Astrid: I can't believe you did this with everything that's been going on!
(Suddenly Astrid flashes a violent red)
Christy: Astrid, are you alright?
Astrid: Evil, bitch! (Astrid throws an energy ball at Christy who quickly moves out of the way.
Peter: What the hell is wrong with you? (Astrid powerfully, pushes Peter up into the air and into the wall smashing a mirrored glass knocking him unconscious. Astrid smiles evilly and shimmers out)
SCENE BREAK - THE HALLIWELL MANNER
Zankou: Unless you want your son to die, you will hand over Payton and never come after her again.
Phoebe: As if were going to do that Zankou!
Zankou: (Holds Warren up by the hair,) I think your forgetting something, If your thinking of snatching Warren from me I have a demonic protection, shield on him. You can't get to him. (Zankou releases Warren)
Prue: Yeah but we can kick your sorry ass into the demonic wasteland again. (Zankou smirks and shimmers off with Warren and his guards.)
Payton: Now what do we do?
Paige: Protection shields never work anyway, we can get Warren back.
Piper: What if we pretend to hand over Payton and then get Warren and ambush Zankou at the same time.
Cole: We need to figure out a way to vanquish Zankou first.
Phoebe: One of us could shape shift into Payton, or something like that to trick him, we could get Billie to do it.
SCENE BREAK - THE UNDERWORLD
Warren: They won't let you do this you know
Zankou: Like they have a way to vanquish me!
Warren: Oh come on, your hardly the most invincible demon ever... I mean Payton she managed to stay alive whilst she was down here with you.
Zankou: I bet you wish you could throw energy balls now, being stuck in that cage
Warren: No way in hell,
Zankou: Someone from your family tree does, (Warren looks at him confused)
- Suddenly a large explosion comes from the side of the room Zankou goes smashing into the wall.
Piper: Cole! What did I tell you, to Cooperate. (Piper walks over with Cole, Phoebe, Prue and Paige and a very resistant Payton who is actually Phoebe)
Cole: Well he's the one threatening my kids.
Zankou: Lovely twins are, you can always trade one for the other, Paige you have twins too and you too Phoebe, two sets of twins.
Phoebe: Cut the crap Zankou, let Warren go,
Zankou: All this for a boy you've not even known a year (Zankou shakes his head and lets Warren out of the cage, Warren stands up and begins to walk over to the others but Zankou grabs his arm.
Warren: Mom, Dad, why are you doing this! You can't condone this!
Cole: Shut up, Warren
Warren: What! No! You can't give up Payton, to him!
(Cole aimlessly throws an energy ball at Warren, but Warren channels it and duplicates several other energy balls and aims them in Cole's direction, but Cole ducks)
Cole: Nice try,
Payton: Let me go! You can't do this!
Prue: We want Warren back first.
Zankou: nice try, hand the girl over, (Piper nodded and Cole brought Payton(Billie) forward. Zankou pushed Warren into Cole) Pleasure doing business with you don't be too hung up about it she was always a lost cause anyway (With that Zankou shimmered out taking Billie who was shape shifted as Payton with him)
Warren: What the hell are you doing? Have you all lost your minds?
Cole: That wasn't Payton, it was Billie, we needed her to get you back then were going to vanquish Zankou.
Paige: Come on, you didn't think we were that cold hearted did you?
(The real Payton comes around the corner,)
Payton: I know what we have to do
Phoebe: I still don't like this idea you know, putting two off my children at risk like that, and then doing it again.
Piper: They'll be fine, we'll be guiding them, now come on lets save Billie before Zankou makes her toast.
Cole: Yeah, Warren you shimmer back up to the manner or something we don't want you getting caught in the crossfire.
Warren: I can handle it! Payton's my twin sister let me be there for her. (Cole shrugged and they went to find Billie)
SCENE BREAK PARIS
Christy: Something's wrong with Billie I can feel it.
Astrid: Let's go and find out what it is.
SCENE BREAK - THE UNDERWORLD SECRET CHAMBERS.
Parker: I have so been pushed out the way, and I am so old news. I feel like some dark magic has just consumed me all of a sudden.
Seer: You must leave the charmed ones are here,
Parker: Crap (Parker then beams out)
(Zankou walks in and throws Billie/Payton on the floor)
Billie/Payton: Please don't hurt me!
Zankou: Shut up you shouldn't have run from me in the first place, Seer!
Seer: I see nothing, in your future.
Zankou: Liar! (He throws an energy ball at the seer who doges it out the way)
Seer: Do you want me to lie to you?
Zankou: We need a plan, and fast.
Billie/Payton: Yeah you kinda do, ("Payton" shapeshifts back into Billie)
Zankou: One of the Jenkins sisters?
Billie: Yeah and I'm gonna send your ass straight to hell!
(The charmed ones then show up)
Piper: What's the matter Zankou? Not happy to see us?
Zankou: Witch! That wasn't part of the deal! (Piper then explodes him and Paige, orbs out along with Bille and Prue) You can't vanquish me without the power of four!
Phoebe: You really wanna put that to the test, you think I'd really just give you my daughter?!
Zankou: You did last time, when you vanquished your twins, you gave them to the dark side.
Cole: Shut up! (Cole being protective grabs Zankou by the colour and slams him against the wall)
Zankou: you not going to tell them, how you gave your own daughter up? To us the demons.
Piper: Cole, what the hell is he talking about?
SCENE BREAK - THE UNDERWORLD.
Paige: Right Payton, I swear this is the last time your going to be down here.
Payton: I don't mind. Let's just find this stupid tomb thing, In Warren's premonition it was this way.
(Suddenly a load of demons appear)
Billie: Crap
Prue: We'll have to do it without Payton, Payton go! (Payton shimmers ous. Suddenly, the demons scream and explode with Christy and Astrid behind them)
Billie: What are you guys doing here?
Christy: I knew you were in trouble, I had to help you and Astrid wanted to come too.
Paige: Well were looking for the tomb which the old source banished Zankou to any of yous know where it is?
Astrid: Can't you orb it?
Prue: No because we need to send Zankou they're
Billie: I could project us! Come on hold on.
SCENE BREAK - THE UNDERWORLD SECRET CHAMBERS
Cole: Don't listen to him, I wouldn't do anything to hurt any of them.
Zankou: Your lying and that's what demons do best is lie, you gave Payton to us all those years ago,
Cole: For protection!
Piper: You gave the demons, Payton for PROTECTION! THEY'RE DEMONS!
Cole: I know, but they wouldn't come after her then
Phoebe: No they wouldn't need to Cole!
Zankou: Yeah that's a lie too, you wanted to train her but she wouldn't do it wrong daughter Phoebe I suppose
Phoebe: What's that supposed to mean?
Zankou: Nothing, but Belthazor wanted to train his daughter to be him get rid of the good inside her your exact words not mine.
Cole: Phoebe... I... didn't! That wasn't my idea it was the sourcer's idea! I swear!
(Suddenly Zankou Collapsed on the floor and red lights appeared around him he started screaming at then he swarmed out)
Phoebe: What was that?
Piper: Him banishing I suppose and no sign of the source.
(Prue, Paige, Billie and Payton orb in)
Paige: Payton banished him
Payton: Yeah sucks for Zankou his enemies having a bit of dark side in them a bit of the source means they can banish him.
Cole: Come on lets get out of here.
Phoebe: Wait what did, Zankou mean? Did you really hand over Payton like that?
Payton: No! He didn't do it, the sourcer did it against him.
Little did they know the worst was soon to come.
Sorry its taken long to update I've been ill, Payton is played by Lily Collins hope you enjoy the update!
