Episode 12: The Breaking of Shadow
“I better get back there,” said Salko. “They’ll be questioning my whereabouts.”
“No!” Torhu said. “Khan will know that you betrayed him. If you go back, you will be killed!”
“I’ll—” Suddenly, Salko fell down unconscious. Uncle paralyzed him using pressure point.
“Uncle’s trick never old,” he said to himself.
“C’mon, we gotta go down there!” Wyatt suggested.
“No!” Uncle replied. “You will all be killed if you go down to Underworld. Uncle has found way to take back Egyptian God powers. Wait for two minutes. Proper spell with correct potion will destroy urn and return powers. Can you give Uncle five minutes?”
The four Halliwells agreed reluctantly. Uncle returned to the kitchen to prepare the final potion. They waited anxiously, but Torhu managed to teach them the Mask Vanquishing spell.
“So…the allies of the Halliwell line are here, in the underworld,” said Khan, breathing his hot breath on the chained up on the wall prisoners. “Good! Now, I can bring your family here.”
“Ha! Looks like your plan will back fire!” Jade said hotly.
“Your Uncle Jackie is not here to protect you this time,” said Khan. He turned to Bianca, who spitted on him. “Nice, but you will get what you deserve, Phoenix! You shouldn’t have betrayed me. And…of course, the Whitelighter.”
Kyle glared him angrily, his blood boiling. He didn’t utter a word. “I’ll make your second death much more spontaneous. Endless love! You know that song, don’t you? I know because I spied on you and that witch wife of yours. You have a thing for foreign songs, don’t you? Yes, your love song. Shoulda played it when I killed Paige!”
Kyle tried to attack Khan, but the chains withheld him. The man behind the mask, his eyes, didn’t seem to match the anger and hatred the voice was throwing. It looked somewhat…apologetic. There were…tears even! Khan turned away and said, “You will die. Tonight!”
The Master appeared in orbs of light. Kyle was struck by this. A whitelighter, helping out a dark lord?
“Your majesty,” the Master bowed respectfully. “You are now in control of the world. The world is yours, Lord Khan.”
“Of course,” said Khan. His voice was twice as dark and evil as cruelness. “I am the ruler now. I have the powers of Ra and…Where’s Salko?”
“Ha!” Jade yelled out. “We captured him. You think he’s that tough? He’s a wimp!”
The Master approached Jade and stared at her…seemingly. “Her mind is honest yet her tongue lies!”
“What do you mean?” Khan demanded.
“Salko has been giving out information to these humans,” said the Master. “He’s been working against you! I told you, my lord, you should have destroyed him! That little bastard! It’s because of him, your conquest will fail!”
Khan shook his head in disbelief. “That can’t be true! You’re lying!”
“The girl’s mind speaks the truth!” The Master replied. Kyle couldn’t help but feel sorry for Khan, just a fraction though.
“Salko is my friend, the one who raised me!” Khan argued. “He wouldn’t betray me! Never, ever!”
“He did! Now he won’t be coming back!” The Master replied. “It is time, Khan, to destroy him! Kill that betrayer! Kill that turncoat!” Seeing Khan confused and silent, he said, “Fine. I’ll do it myself!”
“No! Forget about him!” said Khan. “I’ll deal with him later. First, I will eliminate these people first. Then, no one will stop us!”
Shadowkhans, all nine tribes, appeared behind him, waiting for his commands. Suddenly, bright orbs of light blinded the darkness and the master briefly. Only Khan appeared unfazed. The light faded to reveal the four Halliwells, the old man and the giant.
“You still have us,” Wyatt replied to Khan’s last thought.
“Well, you’re here,” said Khan. He summoned his sword into his hand. He wasn’t aware of the artifacts they were carrying. “Any last words?”
“No,” said Wyatt, who quickly engaged the most agile yet of fencing. “You will!”
Chris soon joined the fight as Ann and Mel start blasting the shadow khans around them. Uncle and Torhu used their blowfish and blasted the warriors with Mel and Ann at full blast! The three fighters fought tiredlessly. Neither side was willing to give up. Khan, though, was playing around. With the mask and Ra’s powers, he was stronger than then the two of the brothers combined. Their duel was more spectacular than his master’s fight with the Chi Wizards. It was like watching a legend in the stories coming alive.
“You want the powers of Osiris and Obelisk?” cackled the dark lord. “You still can’t stop me!”
Suddenly, the master was blasted into the walls, but he quickly retaliated and fired a stream of lightning bolts. Uncle and Torhu chanted the Chinese Chi Spell: “yo mu gui guai fie dee tsao” which formed a green wall that held off the lightning blast. Uncle quickly poured his attention on Khan’s pocket. He chose three words wisely and spoke them in a sing-song tone. He was able to summon the urn out of Khan’s inner pocket. Khan wasn’t aware of it.
Torhu held off the Master’s deadly lightning and he was failing.
“Foolish Chi Wizards!” cried the shadow that now towered above them. “I am greater than some inner energy! Khan will cover Earth in darkness!!”
“Uncle don’t think so!” Uncle replied as he chanted another spell and showed off the urn. It cracked. “Tohru, break urn!”
The girls charged toward the mighty nine generals as they chanted the spell, Nu Ke Ru, He Men Ja’a Ku. They broke their phials and the potion was soaked into their hands. Wyatt threw up Japanese steel, rice bag, a silk scarf, and fish. Chris threw up the rest of the ingredients into the air. The chanting and the spell turned them into pure white energy. As quick as lightning, the girls evaded the eight generals and used their godly weapons to destroy the general’s faces. All were destroyed, thanks to the ingredients…except for one: Ikazuki. It was apparent Japanese bamboo.
The general drew out his Shadow Swords and engaged in a fight with the gods. The general thought he was winning but…a misfire of Khan’s deflected his sword and the girls struck the general’s face between the temple of the head. The mighty second in command fell on his knees and was reduced into a puddle of shadow with red glowing eyes. A voice rippled the puddle, shouting, “I’ll get you two for this! With the mask of Tarakudo, I will regain my body!”
“Uncle! Hurry!” Ann shouted at Uncle, who was struggling to keep up his force field. Torhu finally destroyed the urn and the auras of Obelisk and Osiris hovered about in the air.
The Master’s attention diverted to Khan, “My lord! The gods’ powers are up for grabs!” His focus was still on the two wizards. Torhu aided Uncle after dropping the broken urn.
Khan’s sword locked the two swords of his enemy. He shoved them away and leaped above. Just then, the auras of the gods suddenly flew toward him. Khan paused in midair, thinking that this was it: the 3 powers are his! Suddenly, the two auras just passed by him and entered into his enemy hosts: Obelisk in Wyatt and Osiris in Chris. Everyone saw it, including the master, who lost all focus. Uncle and Torhu chanted, “yo mu gui guai fie dee tsao” and blasted him away. The Master fell on his back and was knocked out…Actually, more like heavily dazed. Uncle quickly fired six shots at the chains that held Jade, Kyle and Bianca.
Khan was still in shock. Due to his carelessness, he had forgotten Ann and Mel’s combined attack that was aimed at his face. Upon impact, the pain seared through his blood and body as the mask began to crack hysterically. The spirit of Tarakudo yelped in pain, knowing this was it for him. Khan was knocked down from the air and crashed into the wall. But he recovered easily and fired one solar flare blast. Wyatt and Chris countered with their mighty deity lightning bolts. Combined, they slightly overpowered Ra’s fireball, but eventually, they all canceled out.
Wyatt, Chris and the others grouped together and orbed out. Uncle had the last saying: “In yo face, shadow man!”
to be continued...

Episode 13: The Return of Phoebe!
The orbs disappeared, leaving the master and Khan alone in the underworld. When the Master recovered from the mighty blow, Khan was staring at the dark chamber that once held the mighty Egyptian Gods.
“It is time to unleash the greatest of all,” said Khan, feeling humiliated. “Release the demons!”
“Yes, my lord,” the Master replied with a bow. “And, Salko?”
“I will make him pay!” Khan shimmered out, leaving the Master alone.
The Master chanted in Latin and gestured at the black stone doors. They opened with stone grinding slide…Roars of great beasts echoed from within.
When the Halliwells and their friends returned home, Salko was awake, rubbing ice on his neck. He complained, “Thanks, a lot. That was really nice of you humans.”
“Ai-yah!” Uncle yelled at the tall demon. “Uncle saved your butt and no thank you? Demon is very rude! Apologize to Uncle!”
Everyone laughed, seeing Salko was joking. The demon announced he had a surprise for Mel.
“What is it?” she asked him.
“Phoebe!” Salko called out.
Lo, there she was! Like an angel rising from the dead, Phoebe lurked out of the shadows of the stairs and into the light. Mel’s eyes were filled with surprise and tears of joy. She said nothing and ran into her mother’s arms, crying hysterically (not really).
“Mom?!” she squeaked under the pressure of her emotions. “How did you?”
“I have Salko to thank here,” said Phoebe. She patted the demon’s shoulder and kissed him on the cheek. “He brought me to life.”
“And I got the bruise to prove it,” said Salko, showing a kick bruise on his left arm.
“Uncle is confused,” said the old man.
“Who’s the old geezer?” Phoebe asked quietly to Salko.
“Did you just call Uncle old geezer!” Uncle exclaimed angrily.
“Yeah, how?” Kyle was very curious. “Wait, is Paige—”
“There wasn’t enough,” said Salko, “of Ra’s aura to revive the others. I collected just enough of Ra’s aura before it returned to the host.”
“That’s why Khan was weakening!” Wyatt exclaimed. “You stole some of the god’s powers, didn’t you?”
“Yeah,” said Salko. “I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to collect more.”
“Wow,” Bianca and Jade said. “This is the best thing that happened today,” added Bianca.
“So, I’ll leave you guys for an intimate reunion and return to the underworld,” said Salko.
“Wait, won’t Khan kill you, baby?” Phoebe asked worriedly. Those who heard Phoebe mouthed the word ‘baby’ amongst themselves. Has Phoebe, the woman whose men always seem to end up on the bad fortune side, found herself a man…again? “I mean, you did betray him you know.”
“I’ll be right back,” said Salko.
He shimmered out, leaving the family together. The clouds in the sky finally cleared up, allowing the rising sun to shine bright across the beautiful San Francisco. I guess there is always hope.

Episode 14: Forever Friends
Salko didn’t go to the underworld. He was meeting with someone in an abandoned warehouse. From the shadows emerged Khan, infuriated and toxically full of hatred.
“Salko, the betrayer,” said Khan.
“Khan, before you—”
“Silence!” Khan commanded and Salko, who was a tower compared to Khan, shivered. “I should’ve trusted my master’s information. He was right about you, you turncoat! You sold information to the Halliwells. You even ally yourself with them. Why? Why did you do that? Why did you betray me?”
“Adam, if you just—”
“That name no longer has any meaning to me!!” Khan cried out so loud that the building shook as though an earthquake hit it. “You were my brother…” his voice was soft and melancholy. “You were my brother.” His voice began to break. “Why did you betray me?”
“I wanted to save you from yourself,” said Salko. Khan looked away but he listened carefully. “You’re completely different from the brother I knew.”
“People change,” said Khan.
“Not like this,” said Salko. “I raised you ever since you were a baby. You were passionate and loyal. You were kind and trusting. Why do you think our people, our tribe looked up to you, respected you, befriended you? Because of those. After the Master of yours came—”
“Enough!” Khan interrupted. “I came here to kill you.”
Salko nodded sadly. “You killed innocent people, those who never harmed us! If you want to kill someone you care about, go ahead. I unarmed. Kill me like you killed the Halliwell sisters and their friend!”
“I won’t,” said Khan. This sounded unexpected from him. “What I will do, I will make you mortal. I care too much about you to harm you. Too much to kill you or hurt you. I can’t do it.”
“That’s the Adam I know,” said Salko.
“Please, don’t call me that,” said Khan. He sounded heart broken. “I don’t want to see your face after this. If I do, you will die.”
Salko nodded affirmatively. “Fine then.”
Khan made a fist and began to choke Salko. But it wasn’t his life that was ending; it was his powers and his demon attributes. They were frying up. In mere seconds, his powers were diminished. He was a demon no more. A mere mortal man now, all thanks to Khan. He looked up to find Khan was gone. He was all alone, but he didn’t regret it. He was in fact happy, but slightly uneasy and curious. Why, all of a sudden, did the name ‘Adam’ come up in his mind? He put that thought aside and focused on returning home to Phoebe. The question is this: “Where is this here?”

Episode 15: A Break from War…
Date: 5/25/2026
‘The romance of Salko, now dubbed Stephen, and Phoebe blossomed like a summer rose blooming under the bright golden sun. There was never a dull moment between them. There wasn’t even a cold moment between them either. It was actually getting annoying, seeing these two love birds at the table holding hands and kissing….and then, when Khan didn’t commenced an attack (already three days now), they were sitting on the couch holding hands and kissing. When they’re in the bathroom…well, you get the picture.
‘Well, I guess, my diary, Mom has never been happier. I should be happy for her but I feel…somewhat uneasy and uncomfortable. Mom never told me much about her earlier life. All she did say though that she went out with a lot of guys. A dead lawyer, her boss, her “ghostwriter” and some guy named Dex. Then she married my biological father, whom I never met. All she said was that he ran off with some secretary and moved to Mexico. Typical. Sounds like my life is like ET’s. LOL…
‘Well, diary, That’s all I have to say to day. I’m still a Greek God as well as my cousins.
‘PS: Mom, I know you’re reading my diary. By the time you read this message, ‘nosy’ will be written all over you. Luvs and kisses!’
Date: 5/26/2026
‘Wyatt and Chris were acting all macho and all in the conservatory. He showed off their muscles and their powers. I found it very annoying. It was much weirder than my mom going on a date with a former demon. Ann found weird too but she joined the fray and had a friendly duel with them. I didn’t like fighting, to be honest. I actually don’t want to be a witch. I never wanted to be a witch. When my boyfriend discovered I could levitate, he broke up with me and almost spilled the beans about my heritage. He was put into some Asylum now. Last I heard, he escaped that place with some psycho psychologist who east people. They’re still at large.’
“Hey, Mel! My little girl!” It was Phoebe. She entered Mel’s room and gave her a warming hug, which Mel took in whole heartedly.
“Mom,” she said half-heartedly.
“What is it?” asked Phoebe.
“Mom, how many men have you been dating?” she demanded harshly, but Phoebe took it as curiosity.
She was about to answer, but nothing came out. She just stared at her daughter as she tried to think up of one.
“Did you find it insulting? Sorry, Mom,” Mel quickly apologized.
“No, I’m thinking,” said Phoebe. “It just weirds me out when a daughter asks her mom about her social life in the past. So, I’m going out with Salko. My cell phone is on the fridge, if you need anything.”
Mel worried; she felt a spike piercing through her spine and she jumped up immediately. “Mom! Wait! What about Khan? He might attack you!”
“Nah,” said Phoebe consciously. “Khan banished Salko…I mean Stephen. He’s mortal, completely. So, I’ll see you tonight and try to keep out of trouble.”
“Mom, trouble always finds us,” Mel replied.
“Oh yeah, that’s right,” Phoebe laughed ash she began to make an exit. “No wonder my relationships never work out!”
Once her mother left, Mel returned to her diary and began to write her thoughts again…
“My apprentice,” said the Master.
Khan was drunk and dazed from what happened four days ago. He was asleep on the council’s table. He hadn’t called a meeting since the break of the shadows.
“My lord,” the Master shouted.
Khan stirring and woke up. His eyes were blood-shot. “What is it?” His voice was dry and throaty.
“That is enough!” the Master grabbed the bottle of tequila and shattered it against the cave walls. “I’m tired of your pouting! You are king of all evil!”
“Oh, put a cork in it!” shouted Khan. “I don’t want to…hmm…I forgot that word that deals with ears….”
He staggered as the master pulled him up. He was completely, but almost immobile.
“It is time to attack Earth!” the Master suggested forcefully. “Forget about Salko. You killed him and that’s that! Now, my lord, you must—”
“Me? King!” Khan spat. “I’m only ten years old, sort of… I mean, that time thingy really boosted my powers, but I still am ten, I think…”
“No more drinking,” said the Master. “It’s time to initiate Plan C.”
“Exactly how many plans do we have?” asked Khan as he followed his master the Dark Chamber.

Episode 16: The Arrow in the Dark…
Kyle was tired and exhausted. After seven days of an unspoken truce, the elders since had him looking after other charges. He hadn’t have time for his daughter Ann. He’s been here and there and across the world, checking on the potential whitelighters and witches.
It was dark on May 27, 2025. He was to meet a witch around here in Golden Gate Park. He felt his presence, but somehow, he could not find his charge.
There were footsteps in the dark. Leaves crunched under boots as they approached him. Must be my imagination, thought Kyle to himself.
Black orbs swirled behind Kyle and materialized into a Darklighter. Kyle was unaware; he didn’t feel the coldness behind him until…
“Mr. Brody…” it was cold, malice whisper that chilled his spine.
Kyle turned around to face the stranger. He realized that it was no stranger. It was the Darklighter who once tried to kill Paige and his daughter five years ago.
“You!”
“Yeah, it’s me,” said the Darklighter. “How’ve you been, Kyle? Well, I hope not.” He let out an evil chuckle.
“What did you do to my charge?” Kyle demanded.
“What charge?” the Darklighter looked confused. “In this place?” He scoffed and rolled his eyes. “Must be a hobo or something.” A crossbow flashed in his hands and immediately fire his arrow. It pierced through Kyle’s chest, laying close to his heart. Kyle broke down on his knees and cried out just briefly but in pain.
The Darklighter approached him and aimed another arrow. This time, it was at Kyle’s forehead.
“Finally,” said the Darkligther.
Suddenly, the Darklighter’s face expressed sharp pain. He dropped his crossbow and turned around. Kyle, dying slowly, saw a sword sticking in the Darklighter’s back. The blade was thin and flexible. Kyle thought he seen this sword before. The Darklighter ignited with golden flames and shattered like glass. Lo and behold: a stranger in the dark! He emerged from the shadows of the trees and the moonlight shined on him, revealing his identity.
“You!” Kyle exclaimed angrily. He tried to stand up, but his strength quickly waned and given.
Khan retrieved his sword, returned it to the sheath and approached the Whitelighter. He kneeled down and said, “You’re hurt. Come with me.”
Kyle shrugged off Khan’s help. “I rather die than…”
The Whitelighter suddenly fell unconscious. “Kyle?” but the Whitelighter didn’t respond. Khan scooped up the Whitelighter and shimmered away. They arrived in an empty cave. Khan wondered, “Why would a Whitelighter come here? No charges would be fools to stay out for their Whitelighters…unless…I’m the one? Nah…”
Khan examined the dying Whitelighter. He wasn’t worried at all. He snapped the arrow head off and pulled out the arrow’s body and threw it aside. He used his telekinetic powers and hovered him in midair. He rotated Kyle upside down and stretched out his right arm. Khan summoned a needle into his hand, spread out the index finger, and poked it just below the fingernail. Blood began to drip out. Khan placed his hand on Kyle’s chest and concentrated his chi into the Whitelighter. Seconds passed by and black blood spilled out like thick liquid from a glue bottle. As the drops touched the ground, the dirt and pebbles sizzled and burned.
After five minutes, Kyle’s wound healed instantly and he woke up with a fright.
“What the hell are you doing! Let me down now!” Kyle demanded.
Khan said, “Patience, Kyle.” And he did. Kyle returned right side up and he landed on his feet. “Leave now if you wish.”
Kyle huffed once and prepared to leave. Just as he turned his back on Khan, he realized that the Elders set him up with a new charge: Khan! He felt the same presence he felt earlier. He turned to Khan and said, “What are you doing here?”
“Me?” Khan said in the air. “Identity crisis. I’m searching for who I am. The only thing is…I don’t know where to start looking.”
“I thought you wanted to control the world,” Kyle pressed. “You killed my wife and most of my in-laws, who were my family.”
“I did things I was not proud of,” Khan said seriously.
“And what, saving me will redeem you?”
“That’s not what I want.” Khan looked at Khan with eyes that were not filled with evil. They were filled with oblivion and utter confusion. “I don’t care I do become redeemed. Ever since I turned Salko into a mortal and I learned of a clue, I want to find out who my real family was. I know I cause much hurt to you and your family, but I need your help. I want to find out who my family was. I want to know why I ended up in the Underworld and raised by demons.”
Kyle hated Khan with all his guts. But there was something in Khan’s eyes that were so…different. He didn’t look so evil now. There was…innocence. Khan is his charge! He needed guidance, but what guidance can Kyle give him? There was definitely true goodness in him. The darkness inside this young adult was unworldly and not of his birthright. There must be someway he could help Khan to get rid of the evil within.
“If you don’t want to help, that’s all right,” said Khan. He turned away and was about to shimmer away, but Kyle stopped him.
“Wait!” Kyle pleaded. “I can’t help you with what you seek. But I know someone who can. My sister in-law, Phoebe…She has premonition. She can help you see.”
Khan stared at the Whitelighter with fear. “How could I face the person I almost killed?”
“Trust me,” said Kyle. “She can help.”
Khan nodded in agreement. “Thank you, Kyle. In light of this debt, I will revive your family first. It is the least I can do.”
Kyle became slightly on guard. He took Khan’s hand and orbed back to the Manor.

Teaser to Episode 17: A Revelation!
Opening:
Kyle orbs in with Khan behind him. Mel and Ann tried to attack Khan, but Kyle stopped them. Wyatt and Chris upon entering the room, attacked Khan right away, who dodged and didn't counter.
Kyle: "Enough! He's here as a...innocent..."
The Four Halliwell children: "He's your charge!!"
Next scene, conservatory:
Phobe moaning as she held her head to slow down the headache: "Oh...ooh...There's a lot of emotion running in here!!"
No wonder; her daughter with her niece and nephews were generating anger at Khan. Kyle was suspicous and Salko, now Stephen, was nervous. Khan generated so much confusion, it only made Phoebe's headache worse. Still, she felt a lot of good from Khan.
Cut to: basement; the stones of Leo, Piper and Paige still lay there. Khan summoned his golden aura and chanted in Egyptian the revival spell. The statues broke. Piper, Paige, and Leo rejoiced, but they truned against Khan quickly until Phoebe said, "Wait! He brought you back. As a promise, I agreed to help him find his family. He's turned a new leaf!"
Piper, Leo, Paige and the others thought otherwise.
Cut to: Phoebe and Khan in the dining room.
Khan: "I'm sorry for what I've done, Ms. Halliwell..."
Phoebe: "You're pretty nice when you're good."
Khan blushed, embarressed and flabbergasted.
Phoebe takes Khan's hand and instruted him, "Now, set your emotions aside and clear your mind."
When Khan did this, a waterfall of memories poured onto Phoebe. She saw something so terrifying that she had to let go.
Khan saw it too. He feared this ever since Salko called Adam recently.
Phoebe, sweating and breathing heavily: "Adam?"
Khan: "No...they can't be...you can't be! This is impossible!!"
End of teaser!

It is finally revealed! Khan's past is known!!
Sorry for the length
Episode 17: A Revelation!
Kyle and Khan materialized in the conservatory. No one was home, or at least, that was the first impression. Mel came running down the stairs and she noticed her uncle was home. At first, she didn’t notice the stranger hiding behind him until she hugged her uncle.
“You!!” she exclaimed. “What are you doing here?”
Khan said nothing. He whispered to Kyle’s ears, “Where are they?” He ignored the girl, his arch enemy ever since the Shadow Rising.
“Through the kitchen,” said Kyle. He, though, felt such regret yet at the same time, hope.
“What?!” Mel exclaimed. “You’re leading them to our parents! And Aunt Paige!! Are you out of your mind?!”
“I’ll explain later,” said Kyle. He followed Khan into the basement.
Phoebe walked through the back door and greeted the panicked Mel.
“Something wrong?” asked her mother.
Just then, Salko walked in and closed the door behind him.
“Uncle Kyle here just invited Khan to the basement,” Mel replied.
Salko…I mean…Stephen, was shocked to hear this. “He’s here?!”
Phoebe walked up to Kyle and slapped him once. “That’s for inviting our enemy here!” As though anger took over her mind, she slapped him again.
“What was that for?!” Kyle demanded, rubbing his cheek.
“That was for almost killing Leo,” Phoebe replied. Then, remembering the few days after that, she punched him in the nose.
“What the hell was that for?!” Kyle shouted. “Wait—Let me explain—”
“The second time you tried to kill Leo,” Phoebe sneered.
Kyle was stunned for a moment and then fell silent.
Golden orbs flowed out into the kitchen like water. The basement was overflowing with such warm brilliance.
“Khan!!” Phoebe shouted. “I know Tae Kwan Do and I’m gonna whump yo behind!! I’m coming down there!!
Stephen quickly stopped Phoebe. “Wait! I know that light.”
“The one that almost killed my daughter?!” Phoebe pushed him out of the way and dashed downstairs.
She arrived, but to her, it was too late. Khan had begun the Egyptian Spell. The light brimmed until it shone like an over burning lamp. Kyle and Mel rushed down with Stephen in time to see the phenomenon. Sudenly, Phoebe felt something she didn’t feel before: Good heart…That came from Khan himself…and from the life giving light that the statues soaked in. “Khan is…good?”
Suddenly, three swirls of orbs disappear and the hybrid whitelighters appeared: Wyatt, Chris, and Ann.
“What’s going on?” asked Chris as he shielded himself from the light.
“Khan is saving them,” said Phoebe.
“WHAT?!” Wyatt exclaimed. He just didn’t here the K word just now!
The light finally died and the basement was filled by the darkness. They lowered their arms to see the fully fleshed Piper, Leo and Paige as normal and alive as a patient was brought back. Khan, though, disappeared.
“Whoa!” Piper exclaimed. “What a head rush!!”
“What just happened?” Paige looked distraught.
“I remembered that…we were killed by…that kid,” Leo recalled.
Kyle rushed to his wife and embraced her. Ann quickly hugged them both away. Phoebe, Ann, Wyatt, and Chris rushed to Leo and Piper and hugged them.
“I thought we lost you!!” It was unclear who said this, but Wyatt suspected it was Phoebe or Chris. (Yeah, right!)
“Khan brought you guys back!” Kyle replied. “Just like he said he would.”
“What?!” Piper and Paige growled. “That son of a— Wait, brought us back?”
“Who is he?” Leo nodded at Stephen.
“A former ally of Khan,” said Phoebe. “His name is Stephen and he’s my boyfriend. Of course, Khan turned him human.”
Stephen only waved.
“Wait,” said Phoebe. She felt something. “He’s still here. I gotta talk to him.”
“Khan?!” Piper shouted. “Phoebe, are you sure he’s good? No wait, Kyle, answer that.”
“Where is he?” Kyle asked worriedly.
“Uh…” Phoebe stammered.
Kyle orbed out and sensed for his charge. Once he did, he orbed and materialized…in the attic? There was Khan, looking out of the attic window. He looked at the stand: the Book of Shadows was still there, untouched.
“Hey, Khan,” said Kyle, but the young man didn’t look at him. “Thanks. That really meant a lot.”
Khan said, “I don’t know, but…I feel…strange. What is that that makes a person feel so warm after a good deed was done?”
“Love,” said Kyle. “As your guide, I’m proud of you. Stephen is probably too.”
“I’m leaving,” said Khan, just as he was about to shimmer.
“Wait!” Kyle stopped his charge. “What about your search for your family?”
“It doesn’t matter,” said Khan. “Even if I know who they are…they might be dead. If I need you, I’ll call you.”
Phoebe entered the attic, panting tiredly. “Wait! Don’t go…just yet…!” Panting like a dog.
“Is there something I can do for you?” asked Phoebe.
At this very moment, 4 columns of orbs materialized into Wyatt, Chris, Ann and Mel. Ann and Mel, without question, attacked Khan who easily dodged their punches and kicks. When Wyatt and Chris joined the fray, Piper quickly stopped all of them.
“Okay, what the hell is going on here?!” She was addressing the question to Khan.
“I saved your life,” said Khan. “That is all that matters.”
“You think that’s gonna redeem yourself?” Paige added to Piper’s curses.
“I’m not looking for redemption,” said Khan. “I just…want to be on the side of the light.”
Phoebe stood next to the tall young man. “Let’s go down here and talk about it. You know, the attic is so stuffy and…old. It might break with the weight we’re pushing down…”
They all heartily agreed and returned downstairs to the conservatory. Chris and Wyatt gave menacing looks at Khan, who ignored them like a big man. Phoebe commented, “You’re cute when you’re not evil.”
Mel rolled her eyes in disgust.
“Okay, what’s there to talk about?” asked Piper.
“First of all,” said Kyle. “Khan is my charge—”
The Four Halliwell children: "He's your charge!!"
Piper and Paige, even Leo and Stephen were struck dumb.
“I want to do him a favor,” said Kyle. “He’s an orphan, or so he claims. I want to help him find his family. Phoebe? Are you able to do that?” Phobe moaning as she held her head to slow down the headache: "Oh...ooh...There's a lot of emotion running in here!!"
No wonder; everyone, except Kyle and Stephen, now Chris, were generating distrust and anger towards Khan. Khan was dealing conflicts of his own: guilt, regret, and self-loathe.
“Kyle, I hear you,” said Phoebe, “but I can’t do it if emotion is on the rise like this. I need a room. Come Khan. The kitchen would be nice. And don’t nobody follow us!!”
When they entered the kitchen, the sadden Khan looked at Phoebe with the most apologetic face she ever saw. His eyes showed true sorrow.
Khan the replied, "I'm sorry for what I've done, Ms. Halliwell...I don’t deserve this."
Phoebe smiled and stroked his face. “It’s okay. You're pretty nice when you're good."
Khan immediately felt kindness from the witch’s hand, the soft touch that seemed like the touch of an angel.
Phoebe took Khan's hand and instructed him, "Now, set your emotions aside and clear your mind."
When khan did this, memories and unseen visions poured into Phoebe’s mind like waterfall pounding on the stones below. She saw Piper in labor with Leo at her side. Then…the baby was born. A doctor examined the newborn. He looked at Piper and Leo and shook his head: “I’m sorry, Mrs. Wyatt. There’s nothing we could do…”
Piper broke down in tears! When news was broke to the rest of the family, they were there for Piper and Leo. Then, a flash interrupted the mourning. It was the doctor, who transformed into a man in a black cloak. He handed the dead child to Salko. The baby finally stirred after the dark man tapped the pressure point on the child’s chest. A flash transported her to another time: There! A boy of no more of ten. He was called hero by Salko and his brethrens. Again, the man in the black cloak was there. He said to Salko: “It is time for Adam to come with me. It will only be ten hours. I promise.”
Salko reluctantly gave up the boy named Adam to the man in black. A portal opened; both boy and cloaked man disappeared once they walked inside. The portal disappeared. Salko was the only one who lingered. For ten hours, he waited; when the hour ended, the portal opened again. The man, now addressed as Master, emerged from the portal with a twenty year old by his side, filled with utter darkness and malice.
“Adam?” Salko said.
“It is Khan, now,” said the twenty year old. “It is time, Salko, to take back what is ours, isn’t that right, Master?”
“Yes, my apprentice,” said the Master. “You’ve been trained well…”
Then, the vision stopped and disappeared as a dark shadow with red eyes roared at Phoebe. The coldness and the fear it emitted forced her to stop her prying and she let go of Khan. Khan fell to his knees and hands, breathing harshly. He looked up at Phoebe with such confusion…and disbelief.
“Adam?” Phoebe whispered. “Are you all right?” she was worried about her nephew now. She was sweating and breathing heavily.
Khan shook his head. He refused to believe it! "No...they can't be...you can't be! This is impossible!!"

First of all, thanks for the review!! The saga is near the end...well sort of...
As Uncle says, "When you destroy an evil force, another and greater evil shall take its place!"
Teaser for Episode 18:
Khan had discovered his true identity and his family: Leo Wyatt and Piper Halliwell's supposedly dead son. It was a revelation to the shocked family and Khan. He accepted his birth name, but when he looked at his famly, memories of murder and mayhem further darkened his soul and soiled his heart. He shimmered out...
Kyle: "Damn it! I can't locate him. He's jumping everywhere!"
Piper was in tears. She couldn't believe it; her son was still alive: "How could this happen? Why would someone take our son away? Why?"
Leo too was stricken. He comforted Piper as much as he could. He hid his own hurt, but nevertheless, it showed through his eyes.
Piper: "We have to do something!! We can't lose Adam again!!!"
Kyle concentrated harder, focusing his sense on Adam only. It was a failure: Adam didn't want to be found...
Cut to:
The Master: "My young Khan, it is time to return home, now."
His voice was cold but sweet like honey and poisonous as a king cobra's venom.
Adam: "My name is Adam, you son of a b****! You kidnapped me!! You took me away from my family!! Why?! WHY DID YOU DO IT?!!!!"
Adam's golden aura flared like a solar storm, illuminating the darkness briefly before the flame settled as a burning torch.
The Master: "You ungrateful fool!! I gave you powers beyond imagination!! Is this how you thank me?!!"
Cut to:
The Master and Adam fought in amazing brillance of light. It was as though stars dueled each other except this took place on Earth. Adam called out to Ra's Immortality powers. The fire formed into a phoenix of yellow flame. Red eyes gleamed with vengence and the mighty call of an eagle echoed across the world.
Adam: "You will fall at the hands of Ra!!"
A blazing attack from the fiery wings twisted the master and a tornado swirled him within. Suddenly, the blazing cyclone shattered and disspelled. The Master emerged unharmed. His cloak fell down and his face was revealed: It is someone we all now, back from the dead!! And he is surrounded by the auras of the Four Sainted Demons!!

First of all, I changed my display name to Adam Long. He's the prince of the east and son of the Azure Dragon, Lorena Long, Queen of the East.
Now, This is the end of the Khan Saga!
Episode will begin the second Saga of Charmed. It is called: Demi-Gods, Hellish-Demons. It won't be as long as the Khan Saga, though.
Note: Demi-Gods, Hellish Demons is actually a play on title to the literature or should I say novel, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. No, the novel contains no gods or demons.

Episode 18 (of the series)
Episode 1 (of Demi-Gods, Hellish-Demons)
The Unexpected Return!
Episode 18: The Unexpected Return…
The revelation struck Khan like lightning striking the skyscraper!
Khan had finally discovered his true identity and his famly: Leo, his father; Piper, his mother…Then...that makes Chris and Wyatt his brothers! Paige and Phoebe are his aunts! Mel and Ann, their daughters are his cousins! Oh no…this can’t be, he thought.
Piper and Leo rushed inside to see what was wrong! They found Khan on the floor and Phoebe standing. She was shivering like a patient with a severe symptom of some sort of shock. Piper and Leo moved away from the fallen Khan. Piper asked Phoebe, “What happened?”
“Khan is your son,” said Phoebe.
Piper and Leo thought they heard the wrong words. Perhaps, they misinterpreted. No, they didn’t their hearing was acute and fine. They heard right. But, to be sure, Leo said, “What? Khan is who?”
“Your son,” said Phoebe. “He’s your son. He’s the one that the doctor, ten years ago, declared dead after the birth. He is. I saw it.”
Khan mumbled, “Impossible! If I were their son, I could I kill them? I killed them!!”
Apparently, Khan wasn’t addressing Phoebe but to himself. Like Gollum and Sméagol, he had a conversation with himself.
In an innocent voice, he said, “I didn’t mean to! I didn’t know! Ten years of living in the underworld and ten years of dark training destroys morality. I didn’t mean to!!”
Instinctively, Piper walked to her…supposedly dead son and tried to comfort him. Khan looked up at her with tearful eyes. He looked nothing like the killer that appeared that night. He was just an innocent now.
“Mom?” he croaked.
There was a definite shining illuminating from his eyes. White light, a positive energy was emitting from them. There was a confused and lost soul in there.
“I’m so sorry, Mom!” he cried. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know!!”
Just as Piper was about to hug her son, Khan suddenly got up and walked to cabinants.
“You are a murderer!” said his dark side. “You killed them!!”
“No!!” his innocent side shouted. “I didn’t! They’re here! I saved them!! Salko encased them in stone so that their bodies would be kept alive. I reversed the spell and brought them back!!”
“But you can’t deny that you harmed them!” said his Dark Side.
Leo, this time, spoke up, “Adam, don’t listen to your darkness. Come to the light!”
It availed no success. The confusion further darkened his soul. Anger and sadness consumed his heart. The light that was just illuminating suddenly deepened and began to fade.
“I can’t stay here, Dad,” said his innocent side. “Every time I look upon my family, I am reminded of the pains and havoc I inflicted on you. I’m evil. I can’t be turned back! For ten years I was trained in the Dark Arts. I am part of the Dark Arts!”
Finally, Chris and Wyatt stormed the kitchen. What they first looked upon was Khan’s eyes. Wyatt, though, didn’t understand what was going on, but Chris seemed to. Chris sensed torment in Khan, but he didn’t say a word.
“What happened?” Wyatt asked.
“That’s Adam,” said Piper. “My son.” She looked at Leo and added, “Our son. Your brother.”
“That’s impossible,” Wyatt declared. “He died after you gave birth to him. Even if he did survive, Mom, Khan…” He glared at Khan menacingly and continued, “…is not Adam. He would be ten years old, not twenty.”
“He is, Wyatt,” said Phoebe. “He is your brother. He was trained in the Dark Arts for ten years. The doctor who declared his death was the Master, Wyatt. The one you told had a grudge against you.”
Wyatt didn’t believe it. He dismissed Khan as his brother. Khan agreed with Wyatt, but on different terms. “Mr. Wyatt, Mrs. Halliwell. I must leave now. I can’t stay here anymore. I will never forgive myself.”
Chris stopped his brother. “No, wait! We can work this out, Adam! It’s going to be—”
Khan looked at Chris with unlit eyes. Still, Chris felt its fading warmth. “I caused too much havoc on my own family, Chris. I don’t deserve my place in your family. It will never work out. It will never be okay.”
Just as the others gathered into the kitchen and Chris was about to speak, Khan shimmered out and disappeared. It was too late to stop him.
Phoebe filled them in on what happened. Everyone, even Stephen, was shocked. Kyle quickly tried to sense for Khan. Needless to say, his whitelighter senses, although tuned, was no match for Khan’s evasiveness.
“Damn it!” Kyle cursed. “I can’t locate him! He’s jumping all over the globe.”
Piper was in tears. She couldn't believe it; her son was still alive: "How could this happen? Why would someone take our son away? Why?"
Leo too was stricken. He comforted Piper as much as he could. He hid his own hurt, but nevertheless, it showed through his eyes. Chris’s tears trickled down his face. Wyatt wasn’t that close to showing sadness. He looked angry and felt betrayed.
Piper said, “We have to do something!! We can't lose Adam again!!!"
Kyle began to tune his sense again. Chris, though, felt Adam didn’t want to be found….
In Golden Gate Park, Adam, he now called himself, looked at the full moon. He didn’t see the beauty. He saw his reflection: his soul that sinned and committed atrocious acts. Contemplating on his actions, Adam wondered if he truly deserved love. He wanted to get away from it so that his family wouldn’t have him be a burden.
“I must leave,” he said to himself. It was his Dark Side. “I belong to the side of evil, not the light. I don’t deserve the light.”
It was innocent side who finally persuaded him, after many hours of monologues. “…Destiny has brought me here. It is fate that brought me here. Why? I learned now that life is the most valuable thing the world. I cherish it now; destroying it would be an evil deed. Love is stronger than any force in the world. It has brought me to my family, the one I was taken away from. I never killed them, but I did save them from darkness. They’re worth fighting for. I will return to them. I don’t to sadden my family anymore…”
Just as he was about to shimmer back to the Manor, white orbs swirled in front of him and materialized into his Master. He greeted him: "My young Khan, it is time to return home, now."
“YOU!” Adam growled angrily. “You bastard!”
The Master pretended to take it insultingly. “Now, Khan. What you did was no excuse for running away.” His voice was cold but sweet like honey and poisonous as a king cobra's venom.
“You took me away from my family!!” Adam yelled. “Who are you?!
“I don’t tolerate that tone, my child,” said the Master venomously. “We will now return to the underworld, Khan.”
“My name is Adam, you son of a b****! You kidnapped me!! You took me away from my family!! Why?! WHY DID YOU DO IT?!"
The anger in his voice echoed a single sound wave that roused up wind equal to that of a brief storm. Branches and leaves of the trees waved violently before settling down. The Master didn’t answer him.
“Why did you do it, Master?” Adam demanded softly. “Why? I almost killed my family because of you! Why did you kidnap me?”
Adam's golden aura flared like a solar storm, illuminating the darkness briefly before the flame settled as a burning torch.
The Master stared at Khan and said, "You ungrateful fool!! I gave you powers beyond imagination!! Is this how you thank me?!!"
“All I wanted was peace…and love,” said Adam. “Now, you will die!!”
“So be it,” said the Master.
The two drew their swords and they began their duel. It was more ferocious than when he fought Chris and Wyatt. The Master, although old, was quicker and deadlier than a snake. Adam, though, held his own very well. He let himself sink into…no…he cannot! Once he merged himself with the Underworld Demon Art, he would be swallowed into the darkness. There was one art he allowed himself to be sunk in: Golden Phoenix Sword Style. It was all light of the sun, as the phoenix represented the sun. This was the art that he came across when the Golden Griffin of Ra merged with him. This was the first time he used it. So far, it was successful. He was determined to stop his Master and destroy him.
The Master fell back, but he recovered, threw down his sword and fired spears of lightning at Adam’s sword. It was knocked out of his hand, but Adam returned the attack with golden lightning from his finger tips. The two attacks held the other off, each side becoming stronger. Simultaneously, they both stopped. Adam though, called on for Ra’s third power…
The Master and Adam fought in amazing brilliance of light. It was as though stars dueled each other except this took place on Earth. Now, it shall end!!
Adam called out to Ra's Immortality powers. The fire formed into a phoenix of yellow flame. Red eyes gleamed with vengeance and the mighty call of an eagle echoed across the world.
Adam declared to his Master, "You will fall at the hands of Ra!!"
Orbs formed behind him and his family materialized. They couldn’t do anything, for the mighty beats of the phoenix’s wing stirred up hot wind that fanned them like hurricane winds blasting the palm trees.
With a blazing beat of Ra’s fiery wings twisted the master and a tornado swirled him within. Suddenly, the blazing cyclone shattered and dispelled. The Master emerged unharmed. His cloak fell down and his face was revealed: It is someone we all now, back from the dead!! And he is surrounded by the auras of the Four Sainted Demons!!
“Gideon!!” Piper, Leo, Paige, and Phoebe exclaimed.
Adam heard the name too, but he didn’t recognize it. “Gideon?”
“Yes,” said the hood-downed man. He was tall, yes, and stout. But his face was scarred and pale as though his skin mutated from exposure of radiation. He must’ve been handsome once, but after years of damage, the beauty was gone. His impish eyes glared at them menacingly. “It is I, Gideon, back from the dead, in a manner of speaking.”
He cackled devilishly. “I’ve return to implement my revenge!!”

First of all, I modified the first post (Episode one) and put in Khan, the Witch King I added the tagline for it also.
It is the first saga of Charmed: The Legacy. I also modified Demi-Gods, Hellish-Demons and added a tagline.
I am currently working Episode 19.
Here's the teaser. I think it might be as long as Episode 17.
Teaser 19:
Gideon no longer wore his cloak since every knew his identity. He walked around Adam who was tied to a wooden pole. The pole was the center rod of the inversed pentagram, the sign of evil. Adam was beatened to a pulp: his facial bones were all broken and his hair torn off. His scalp bled.
Gideon: "Now, it is time for another remedy, Khan. It is time to take ahold of your true destiny: Khan, the Witch-King of Gaia!!"
Adam, weakly responded: "F*** you!"
Gideon: "I knew you would say that. That is why I have chosen this type of remedy: Shadow Game. Darkness will fill your body and your heart, corrupting your soul. No one can break you away from this. Nothing can..."
The inveresed pentagram glowed eeriely, inflicting Adam ten thousand years of pain...
Cut to: The Manor; Chris and Wyatt were discussing about welcoming Adam to the family. Wyatt was against it.
Wyatt: "I don't trust him! That monster almost killed our family!!"
Chris was a trusting man. He felt goodness in their missing brother. He knew that he could be turned to the light.
Chris: "I do! Everyone does! We have to get him back before Gideon does something bad to him!"
Wyatt shook his head: "Once an evil man, always an evil man!"
Cut to: Adam, now Khan the Witch-King, confronts his brothers. Chris tries to reason with him, but Khan held out his hand and blasted away telekinetically. Wyatt, with all his might fights Khan, but Khan overpowers the twice-blessed prince. As he raised his sword for the kill...
Khan: "Adam? He no longer exists. I am Khan the Witch-King!"
Chris saw something he feared: Adam, the brief kindness he felt only a few days ago, was gone forever. This is Khan, the devil that now inhabits his brother's body.

Another Teaser:
It's a little short.
Khan: Darkness reigns my heart...my mind...my body. Darkness rules all. Darkness is my master. Darkness is my father. Darkness is all.
There is no light; only the shadow.
There is no hope; fear shall govern.
Humans are a wasteful creation; underworld dwellers are the victims.
I am a god, the wielder of the sun, the form of light. The sun's dark side shall be in control.
Cold fire, burning waters, toxic skies, heathen earth...
This is my empire. This is my rule. This is my destiny.
(Khan rises with the aura of black fire. The powers of Ra were turned into an evil entity)
I am the son and the heir...
I am human, but I don't need love...
Hatred is all that I need...
I am the Dark Lord Khan, the Witch-King!

Finally, I am done! with the episode, i mean.
Episode 19: Darkness Reign!
Gideon, an old former friend and infamous Elder, stood before the Halliwell family. Those after the event of Wyatt’s kidnapping didn’t know who he was. Wyatt though felt a strange tingle in the back of his head.
Leo, Piper, Paige, and Phoebe remembered this evil Elder very well. He kidnapped Wyatt while they were utterly distracted by the ‘ultimate goodness’ and killed the Chris they knew. He teamed up with Barbas to kill the twice-blessed child, but Leo intercepted the communication and vanquished Gideon, saved the world from destruction, and protected his son. They thought that it was over, demons, cults, covens and others coming after Wyatt. No, it didn’t. Gideon had return…somehow…
“Ah, my Halliwell friends,” he grinned devilishly. “How’ve you been? Well, I hope.”
Gideon, although alive, looked hideous and demonic. Charred face, crisped white hair, impish eyes, razor teeth, a dry voice…his beauty was gone… Now, only his monster side finally appeared.
“Leo, I thought you said he was dead,” Piper whispered to her husband through her clenched teeth.
Leo looked scared. His lively skin paled. “I thought so too.”
“You did kill me,” Gideon addressed Leo. “But…you see, I am back! In the flesh, more or less. Hmm. That sounded quite awkward. I’ve return, dear do-gooders, and I will take back what is mine!”
“If you’re talking about killing my brother,” it was Adam who confronted the charred Elder, “you will have to go through me!”
The Master grinned, revealing his purple, near rotting gums. “You little fool! Do you believe that Wyatt is the one I want to kill? I’m not killing anyone today.”
“Adam!” Chris called out. Adam looked at his brother only from the corners of his eyes. “Get away from him!”
Adam didn’t listen. “Oh? I thought you wanted to take Wyatt as your apprentice.”
“Oh no,” said Gideon, dragging his tone. “You see, I wanted to kill him because it was he who destroyed me! Wyatt, powerful and strong, is not the Twice-Blessed child. You are, my young apprentice.”
“What?!” Adam and the others exclaimed.
“Khan,” Gideon explained, “you are the one because of Piper’s miracle pregnancy. In the ancient tablets I came across, it is said the son of the powerful witch and her wingless angel would be the one who shall perform many miracles. I saw my chance: If you were to be raised by the demons, you would become evil. But your graceful heart turned them good and I had to step in. Ten years of dark training brought the evil from within. Finally, a ruler worthy of ruling the world! But that wretched Salko had to turn you back to the side of light! Your heart now is softer than any creampuff!”
Adam laughed, “You’re right. Now, thanks to your training, I can stop you! I learned how to convert my darkness into the light, all thanks to Ra!”
Becoming an immortal, fiery phoenix, Adam summoned out his darkness from his heart and let the phoenix swallow it. The darkness suddenly burst into golden fire, becoming apart of light. The phoenix’s flames turned white and illuminated such amazing brightness that even darkness would pee in his pants out of fear! Unfortunately, not Gideon.
Adam’s phoenix flapped and wrapped his white wings around the dark Elder, but suddenly, the phoenix’s white color turned black as night! The young host of the god broke down on to his knees, crying in pain. Chris, Kyle, Leo and Piper rushed to Adam, but a strange force filed repelled them back. The Phoenix disappeared and returned to Adam’s wounded body.
Gideon approached Adam and said, “You’re now ready.”
Piper shouted “no!” and blasted the Elder. It didn’t work at all. Gideon said, “Please, witch, my apprentice has more kicks in his powers.”
He picked up the fallen, injured Adam and carried him off back to the underworld. Suddenly, Wyatt orbed in front of him and engaged in a short quarrel. Gideon made no counters: he only dodged and avoided Wyatt’s quickest strokes. Finally, he extended one hand and fired a bolt of lightning at Wyatt. The mighty witch raised his hand and blocked the blast easily. Gideon paused and raised his hand. Fog rolled in quicker than a lightning strike! Orbs filled the droplets of the mist and disappeared. The mist cleared, revealing nothing! They lost Khan…again…
Piper broke down and sobbed loudly, calling out her son’s name: Adam…
Gideon no longer wore his cloak since everyone knew his identity. He walked around Adam who was tied to a wooden pole. The pole was the center rod of the inversed pentagram, the sign of evil. Adam was beaten to a pulp: his facial bones were all broken and his hair torn off. His scalp bled.
Gideon said to the dazed Khan, "Now, it is time for another remedy, Khan. It is time to take hold of your true destiny: Khan, the Witch-King of Gaia!!"
Adam weakly responded, "F*** you!"
Gideon chuckled evilly. He approached Adam and whispered into his ears: "I knew you would say that. That is why I have chosen this type of remedy: Shadow Game. Darkness will fill your body and your heart, corrupting your soul. No one can break you away from this. Nothing can..."
The inversed pentagram glowed eerily, inflicting Adam ten thousand years of pain... When it was completed, the final ritual, Adam was freed from the chains. A black aura flamed about his body and formed the shape of a black phoenix. His eyes glowed red upon opening them. He then chanted to himself the passage that he shall go by: “Darkness reigns my heart...my mind...my body. Darkness rules all. Darkness is my master. Darkness is my father. Darkness is all.
There is no light; only the shadow.
There is no hope; fear shall govern.
Humans are a wasteful creation; underworld dwellers are the victims.
I am a god, the wielder of the sun, the form of light. The sun's dark side shall be in control.
Cold fire, burning waters, toxic skies, heathen earth...
This is my empire. This is my rule. This is my destiny.
(Khan rises with the aura of black fire. The powers of Ra were turned into an evil entity)
I am the son and the heir...
I am human, but I don't need love...
Hatred is all that I need...
I am the Dark Lord Khan, the Witch-King!”
Gideon couldn’t help but smiled and nodded. His greatest creation was complete.
“Now, my lord,” he chuckled. “Can you execute your new order, Order 33?”
“I will and I shall!” Khan laughed demonically. He shimmered and disappeared.
When the Dark Lord appeared before the manor, immediately orbs formed before him. It was Chris. He felt his brother’s presence before anyone else did. He was overjoyed that Adam had returned. Suddenly, Khan lashed out and kicked Chris in the stomach, sending him flying into a tree. Wyatt appeared and helped his brother up.
“Adam!” Chris cried out. “It’s us! Your brothers! Chris and Wyatt!”
Khan looked at them, cocking his head like a confused dog. Wyatt turned to Chris, “That’s not our brother! He’s pure evil!”
“No!” Chris shouted. “He’s still in there! I can feel it! Adam! You’ve got to fight this evil! You can do it!”
Khan raised his hand and blasted them with a powerful telekinesis, much like Prue’s. Wyatt fought back, but Khan overpowered his older brother easily. He drew out his blackened Sword of Legend, now dubbed Blade of Eternal Darkness. As he raised his sword for the kill, he said in the driest and hoarse tone: “Adam? No, He no longer exists. I am the Dark Lord Khan, the Witch-King!!”
To be continued.
