Charmed Again: A New Generation

“Slave To The Rhythm”<br>

With a Slam Chris Halliwell walked into the Manor and shut the door. He was late meeting his brother in the attic. Rushing up the steps he was nervous about what big brother might say about his lateness. There was a recent attack on teenagers in the city and it seemed to be linked to a group of twin demons.

After he climbed the stairs to the attic, his brother Wyatt was waiting for him reading above the BOOK OF SHADOWS. “Your late.” he said to Chris. “I thought you would have gotten here sooner, there being demons and all.”

Chris didn’t say anything. All his life Wyatt would be the take-charge man. All he could do was walk over to the book and see what Demons were after them now. The book was giving to them by their mother and there it stayed in the attic. In it held the deepest of secrets, and spells of all kinds. Many demons weakness could be found in its pages.
“So why are you late?” Wyatt asked. He had already known the reason, but wanted to hear it from Chris. “Sorry,” Chris said. “ I was dropping Bianca home.”

Wyatt’s face softened up. “Ah,” he said. “Bianca?” Chris knew that his brother was worried about his friend Bianca. She had come from a family of witch assassins and he always worried she would turn on them. Changing the subject Wyatt told him “Well anyway we have to look up these Demons… YingYaon?”<br>
“The YingYaon Demons? Didn’t mom and Aunt Phoebe and Paige fight him before?” Chris asked staring at the page in the book with their picture. Both of the demons were big and bulky, which gave Chris the chills. He looked up at Wyatt and said. “Well the power of two will have to do.”<br>
Living with Wyatt could get really lonely at times. Chris always wished they could be as close as his aunts and mother, the Charmed Ones were. But Wyatt was more independent then he. Mom said he took after her oldest sister Prue, but Chris had gotten her power of Telekinesis, the power to move things with your mind. When it came to looks, Wyatt was the lager of the two. While Chris was lean, his brother was taller and buffer. He had worked as a model on the weekends, and grew his light hair long for it.

Wyatt also had that power of Telekinesis, but it was different. He had to call for something like their Aunt Paige and it would Orb into his hand. His other powers were Force fields, and healing…come to think of it Wyatt had all the powers. But Aunt Phoebe told me not to worry. She always felt the less powerful Charmed One, but her powers grew over time.

Their aunts were a very big guidance to them. They were something that they themselves didn’t have when they were Charmed. Both their mother and Grandmother died leaving them with only the Book of Shadows to learn from. Now the sisters lived a normal life. When we reached the right age they passed on their powers to us and we became Charmed.

“Chris?” Wyatt asked, snapping Chris awake.

“Sorry, I was just thinking about our family line.” Chris told him. “Ah don’t start that again, you will only miss mom…” Before Chris could say anything, two demons shimmered in before them. One of them was tall and black, the other tall and white. “The Ying Yaons!” Chris said out loud.

Both demons were bald and had an eye tattoo on their heads. The black one raised his hand and in popped a fireball. The other demon grew an ice ball. Wyatt screamed to Chris. “Watch out!” as both Demons threw their balls of evil at the younger Halliwell. They shot straight at Chris until he held up his hand and threw the attack back at them. The demons ducked out of the way and got ready to toss two more at him.

“Energy balls!”<br>
Wyatt called out. The two balls orbed into his hands and he tossed the attack back at the demons. This time they hit there target and the demons screamed in pain as they were hit with there own powers. But why didn’t they vanquish?

Wyatt glanced at Chris and got the idea to use the Excalibur sword. It was his destiny to wield the blade for good and it laid in a stone until the right age he could possess its power. Holding out his hand he called for the blade. “Excalibur!”

The sword in the stone glew with blue light as it appeared in the young Witch’s awaiting hands. Now the Demons faces were full of fear as he ran toward them, pointing the blades sharp end at them. In front of one of them, the blade magically sparkled with power as it slammed into the dark skinned Ying Demon. Its head shot back in pain as flames consumed its body.

The other Ying Screamed as his twin was killed. “You will die Halliwell boys!” he said in a husky voice. As he spoke he shimmered out of the attic leaving the brothers to wonder what he planned to do next.

Knock.

Chris knocked on his aunts door. “Aunt Phoebe can I come in?” he asked. “Of course Chris, come in.” She called back. Chris walked in and smiled at his aunt who was typing up her advice column Ask phoebe, at her desk.
“What’s wrong honey?” she asked taking off her glasses. “Well a Demon just attacked us and,” he was cut off. “A Demon attacked? Are you alright?” she asked worried. “Yeah, you didn’t hear the fireballs flying?” Chris asked. Phoebe laughed, “Honey your aunt’s hearing isn’t as good as it used to be, partly do to all those fireballs.”

He smiled then sat down on her bed. “Well it just seems that every time a Demon attacks he goes after me. Like they know Wyatt is stronger.” Phoebe smiled and went to sit next to her nephew. “Chris maybe they know your destined to be something so powerful in the future they want you out of the way.” Chris didn’t think so. “Well if you most know,” Phoebe said rubbing his head. “You did something so great before in the past that took some guts to pull off.” He wasn’t sure what she meant. “Past? But I?” he asked. “Well I just have to leave it at that for now.” Phoebe said to him as she thought about how he saved Wyatt from turning evil all those years back.

They were in silence until Chris whispered. “I miss her…” Phoebe closed her eyes and took a beep breath. In the same soft hushed tone she told him “I miss her too honey. I miss her too.”<br>
----------------------

Wyatt went back into the attic. He was hoping to talk to Chris and knew that was the place he spent most of his time. He had gotten the feeling Chris was mad at him over something. After the demons attacked he had not spoken to him. “Chris?” he asked. “Yeah?” his younger brother called back from behind the Book of Shadows. “I want to talk to you about before.” Wyatt said walking over to him. “What’s to talk about? We have to get that runaway Demon.” Answered Chris going back to reading the book.

Wyatt put his hand over the page Chris was reading. “All I want to know is if you’re mad at me for something?” he asked, with a smile. Chris said, “Ya know, I shouldn’t be…but some part of me is,” he looked at Wyatt who had a puzzled look on his tanned face. “But I kind of have this inferiority complex about your of powers.”

Now Wyatt knew what was wrong. But what could he do to help the problem? “Chris, I don’t want you to worry about the size of my powers.” He was cut off by Chris.
“Hey, size does matter.” But Wyatt went on. “What I am trying to say is I have these powers because I was blessed with them, I don’t use them to hurt you. And I don’t think any less of you because I have more powers.” Chris was embarrassed by his treatment to Wyatt. But he couldn’t stop feeling weaker; juts like Wyatt couldn’t hold back his powers. “I’m sorry” Chris told him. Wyatt smiled and gave him a quick hug “If I could I would lose all my powers just so we could stay close.” Wyatt added.

----------------------

In the kitchen Paige was reading a magazine. There was this midnight beach dance coming up, wow she thought that sounds like fun times. Seeing Phoebe walk in, she stopped reading. “Why couldn’t you have gotten married?” Phoebe asked sitting down next to her. “Maybe because you got married enough times for both of us,” Paige smiled. “Why?”

Phoebe closed her eyes. “Because you could have had a child to balance out those boys. Chris is feeling the less powerful witch.” She told Paige. “Ah,” Paige smiled “So it’s starting?” Phoebe shook her head. “If only Chris could know what he did for Wyatt you know? That way he could see all the good he’s done and how brave he was to pull it off.”

“Now you know we cant, that could throw off the whole balance of the future yada, yada.” Paige said. “But on the other hand, if he were the only one to remember…”

[mcharmed21]

Chris kept reading the Yings page in the book and tried to get an idea of what its weakness was…other then a slice from Excalibur. The page said that the “YingYaon Twins possess opposite elements. While one had fire, the other had Ice. Using the power of beat, the Ying can absorb human’s energy by rhythm.” Um okay, thought Chris. Going back to the book he continued to read. “While it is possible to use their opposite elements to vanquish each other, if one dies then you need a Firestarter or Icemaker.” An lcemaker? What the hell was that an appliance? Well since the Fire Ying was gone, we need a Firestarter, but where could he find one? He thought maybe his aunts would know about one.

In the Conservatory both Aunts were sitting drinking tea. “Hey Chris, what’s up?” Paige said. Chris smiled at her. “Do you know where I can find a Firestarter?” he asked. Paige and Phoebe looked at each other. “Planning to be a Pyro?” Phoebe asked. “No,” Chris started. “See this demon can be vanquish with a Firestarter.” Phoebe and Paige knew only one person. “Tyler,” Phoebe said. “He was a orphaned boy who was a firestarter.”

Paige took a slip of tea then said, “Exactly was a firestarter. Piper binded his powers.”<br>“We could un-bind them.” Phoebe said. “So you know one? This is great luck…but where does he live?” Chris asked.

----------------------
Outside Tyler’s house Chris and Wyatt knocked on the door. It seemed like a nice place for a 25 year old to have. They waited until a blonde man opened the door. “Can I help you?” he asked them. Wyatt smiled and spoke up “Hi, um a Wyatt, this is Chris. You knew our mother…Piper Halliwell?” The man looked at them with a shocked look. “Yeah, please come in.”<br>
Inside the place was a mess. Clothes pilled everywhere, and empty pizza boxes littered the carpet. In the living room a big screen TV sat with different video game systems plugged into it. Maybe he spent all his money on the TV, Wyatt thought.

“Sorry about the mess. I design video games for a living so I have to play a lot of them.” He told them moving a pile of clothes off his sofa so they could sit down. “So what brings you to me?” Tyler asked. Taking their place on the couch, Wyatt told him the story about the Demons, and that they needed a Firestarter. “You, you want me to get my powers again?” he asked not sure what to make of it. “Yeah,” Chris told him “and you’re the only one we know of.”

Tyler stood up and walked back and forth. “You may not believe this but my life is pretty good. I don’t have to worry about Demons or Warlocks coming after me, or burning up the kitchen...well other then when I try and cook.” He told them. “But, I always felt like a part of me was missing. And I will help you, only because your mother helped me all those years back.” Relieved Wyatt and Chris smiled. “Can you come to the Manor at around six?” Wyatt asked. “Sure.” Tyler told him. “Do you know how to get there?” Chris asked. “I would never forget.”<br>
----------------------
At the Manor Paige was watching the news. There was another attack on teenagers at a nightclub. They put of a video of the attack. Everyone on the dance floor was knocked out and a sort of gray color. Like their energy was drained out. This was the fourth attack in the past week. Paige knew it was the Ying demon getting power to fight the brothers. But where would he strike next? Just then a breeze from an open window blew her magazine off the table. When she bent down and picked it up the story on the page was about the Beach Rave. “Like magic,” she said. “Thanks Sis.” Paige had a feeling her sister was trying to drop her a hint from up above.

It was almost six and Chris, Wyatt and Phoebe were working on an un-binding potion for Tyler. Paige went to the foot of the stairs and called up “I think I know where the Demons going to attack next.” Hearing Paige’s news the three came down from the attic. “The Demon will be at this Beach Dance tonight, I know it!” Phoebe was puzzled. “How do you know?” she questioned.

“Because the signs are all there,” Paige said, holding up the magazine. “First the teens attacked in clubs, the book said he uses rhythm to get energy. And last but not lest, the magazine flew off the table and opened to this page.”

*Ding*

“That must be Tyler” Phoebe said going to the door. A smile came on her face as she saw the grown up Tyler after so many years. “Tyler!” Phoebe called out pulling him in for a hug. “Hello Phoebe” he said still joined in the hug. “Come here” Paige called put as she also hugged him. “Its great to see you Tyler, what have you been doing?” Phoebe asked. “Well I design video games.” Tyler told her. “Really?” Paige said with a smile. “Yeah and Piper said all they time I played video games wouldn’t pay off,” he said with a laugh. “But where is Piper by the way?” he asked. Phoebe looked over at Wyatt and Chris. Both had a sad look on their faces. “She, um isn’t with us anymore.”

----------------------

“So after I drink this I will have my powers again?” Tyler asked the sisters. “That’s the plan,” Paige told him. Looking at the blue liquid, Tyler picked up the potion bottle and started to drink it. “It has a sweet taste,” he said. “Kind of like fruit” Paige laughed “That’s the tastes of power my friend!” she said. A gold aura went over Tyler’s body, as his power came back to him after years of being locked away. “Do you feel any different?” Chris asked. “Yeah…I feel it inside me.” He said. “Well maybe you should test it out?” Wyatt told him. “Yeah, do what you used to do to use it, get angry.” Paige said. “Have any people you dislike at the moment?” Phoebe asked. “ Believe me, I know just the person.” He placed his hands on his temple and started to rub it. Closing his eyes he built up his power and a second later unleashed it on a box full of Christmas decorations. The box busted into flames with one wave of his hand. Paige was ready, and put out the fire with an extinguisher.

“Wow” Chris said out loud. He was thinking about how cool that power would be. “Well you killed Santa,” Phoebe said. “Now lets hope it works on the demon. Who did you think of to get that mad?” Tyler scratched his head and smiled. “My boss.”

The beach was packed with people in swim wear. They all were dancing to an intense techno beat blasting from a DJ set up in a tower. The three men walked to the beach from the parking lot across the street. It was just after nine and this rave was going to last until midnight. The demon could attack at any time, Chris though to himself. “What if we have to use our magic in front of these people?” he asked the other two. “Good question. Lets hope they just run away after they see Ying.” Wyatt told Chris looking around the area for the demon.

When they were waiting two girls walked over toward them. “Hey cuties, wanna dance?” they asked. “Sure!” Chris and Tyler said at the same time. “No they cant.” Wyatt told the girls, holding the boys back. “Sorry” Chris told them as they walked away with a pissed look. “I’ll give you my number! I’m a game designer!” Tyler called after them. “That’s not a way to pick of ladies Bro” Chris told him.

Then it hit, Ying shimmered in, freezing everyone dancing. The Ice covered their body as the screamed in pain. Then he began snatching their life energy. “You all put so much passion into your dancing you use up energy. In the end helping me gain more!” Ying laughed.

“Crap!” Wyatt called out! Ying looked over and saw the brothers there waiting for him.
“Too late!” he called. Throwing a freezing ball toward them. Chris pushed Tyler in front of him and called out “Tyler now!” Tyler again placed his hands on his head and rubbed it. Closing his eyes he unleashed a stream of fire at the Ying. “What is this?” Asked the Demon, sending out a wave of his own power.

The two powers held each other back. It didn’t look like anyone was winning. Chris looked at Tyler who had started to sweat. He didn’t look like he could hold the Demons power back much longer. Getting an idea, Chris waved his hand at Yings Ice stream. Using his Telekinesis he moved it to the side of the demon, leaving it away form Tyler’s fire. With a scream Ying was engulfed with flames. With a poof, he was gone.

Getting their energy back, the crowd of dancers didn’t seem to know what had happened. They just went back to what they were doing. Wyatt put an arm around Chris. “You did good Chris.”<br>

----------------------

The Sisters were saying goodbye to Tyler. “Are you sure you don’t want your powers to be binded again?” Phoebe asked. “No,” Tyler said “I knew something was missing, and now I know its my powers.” Paige and Phoebe gave him one last hug. “Don’t be a stranger” Phoebe told him. “I won’t, take care! Tell Chris and Wyatt I said goodbye.” When he walked out of the Manor Phoebe went over to the sofa with Paige.

“Well it was good seeing him again.” Paige said. “Yeah it was.” Phoebe told her. Seeing that she was distant, Paige asked her what was on her mind. “Chris,” Phoebe answered. “I know he saved the day today, but is his inferiority complex gone?” she asked Paige. “Oh I don’t think so.” Smiling Paige pushed her hair off her neck. “But if it becomes an issue I have an idea.”<br>


----------------------

Chris laid on in bed staring at a picture of him and Wyatt on his nightstand. He knew that him feeling less a Witch had to end, if they were to grow together as Charmed Ones and brothers.

*Knock, Knock*

“Come in!” Chris called out, pulling himself up to sit upright in his bed. Wyatt walked in and sat on his brother’s bed. “Do you want to maybe catch a movie?” Wyatt asked. “Where did you get the cash?” Chris asked. “Aunt Paige” They both smiled. “Well sure then. What’s playing?” Chris asked. “Star Wars Episode ten,” Wyatt told his younger brother. “Come on lets go.” Chris jumped out of bed and left his room with Wyatt talking about how cool the film looked. Behind them with a gentle breeze, the bedroom door shut closed.
