The Legendary Couple (Chapter 5 up!)

[Master of Demon Slayer]

Tagline: History is much like an endless waltz. The three beats of war, peace and revolution continue on forever.

Chapter One: "Launch Wing Zero!"

War! The world is plunged into a space battle. Machines called Mobile Suits (Giant humanoid robots piloted by skilled soldiers) are used in the warfare against the enemy Space Colonies. They are called Zeous. Those defending the Earth are called Gaian Force. Of course, the Halliwell family tries hard to stay out of the fight for their business lies with the magical world. Sadly, it isn't anymore. A young witch named Phillip of the Phoenix Coven joined the Zeous.

Phillip is Bianca's younger brother, a peace loving man who originally wanted peace...but you will find out why he threw that away for the Zeous later.

If things come to worse, Phoebe and Dex's son, Andrew, also joined the Air Force to train. Like his mother, he possesses premonition, levitation, and empathy. He pretty much got them all under control. He is to pilot the newest Gundam model: XXXG-00W0 Wing Zero. It is given the nickname Earth Angel.

Phoebe and Dex were against Andrew's choice.

"Why are you doing this to me?" Phoebe asked with streaming tears. "You the only child we have and..."

"Mom, I have to do this," said Andrew. "I must do this. It is the only way to keep the peace between Earth and the Colonies. Most of the Phoenix has allied with the Zeous. If I win, I can stop two wars from exploding!"

Dex though was more supportive, "You make me proud, Andy. Come back safe."

Andrew promised, but in his eyes as he hugged his parents, there are a dark ominous future he neglected to tell them.

He arrived at NASA before his senior officers did. Employees and other officers saluted him as Andrew was escorted to his Gundam. There it was:

White glory glimmering under the late sun
The crown shining like rays of hope
Wrapped in white feathers
Angelic face and body
Standing tall and stout,
the protecter of Earth!

If only his master was here to see him now... He was loaded into Wing Zero and a black suit stretched on him with two bolts on his shoulders. Just as the technicians closed the hatch in front of him, orbs of light swirled before and Chris appeared.

"Hey there, Prophet," he said.

"Chris," said Andrew with a smile. "You know, you shouldn't be here."

Andrew wasn't at all worried. Wyatt and Chris, Uncle Kyle and Aunt Paige always orb in unexpectedly. Chris was his Whitelighter and secretly engaged with Bianca. The family approved but her side would kill her if they knew.

"Can't I check on my favorite cousin?" he jested.

"Of course," said Andrew with a chuckle. "How are things with Bianca?"

"Cold," Chris replied melchonly. "With her family I mean."

Andrew nodded softly to himself. "Well, Chris, you don't have to worry about it. You've done so much for me. It's time I repay my debt."

"You and I are cousins," said Chris. "That is not nesccesary."

"I will bring peace to both families," said Andrew. "After this war is over, there will be no more fighting."

Before Chris could say anything, the machine came to life. Andrew said his good byes to Chris who waved warmly as he orbed out.

"Good afternoon, Lt. Halliwell!!" shouted from the earpiece gloriously.

"Good morning, General Hansen," Andrew said with a slight chuckle.

"So, are ya ready to kick some behind?" he shouted.

"Yes sir!!" Andrew shouted.

The bridge was raised and the Gundam was raised at a slant angle. The heat and protection shields closed above the head of Wing Zero. The main rocket boosters hissed. It was ready. After the count, XXXG-00W0 Wing Zero and the pilot, Andrew Lawson Halliwell, was launched into space where the battleship Enterprise awaited for him...

Beyond the battleship, fireballs erupted in the distance. War had already begun!

End of Chapter One!

*Good story(so far).

[Master of Demon Slayer]

Chapter Two: Angel vs. Devil

Wing Zero releashed the rocket boosters and excessive feathers just before it landed on the Enterprise's bridge. His commanding officer, General Willis Maxwell, greeted him at the bridge. He gave Andrew the full report.

"The Zeous are gaining the upper hand," said the general. "They apparently, have a new Gundam and two new suits: The Devil Angel, no irony there. The Jaga Dora and the Sabazi. Luckily, we have the Tallgeese Unit and the Tallgeese Unit 2 to fight them. They were just launched from Germany. They will be joining you to fight the enemies."

"General," Andrew interuppted. "I studied an old stragety the enemies are using. Divide and Conquer: That's how the Mongolian won. We have to take out as many mobile suits as we can. We shall be the decoys, burnign up their army. After that, send out all units to take out the rest."

Andrew once played Dynasty and Warcraft, military games that helped him plan a dangerous stragety.

"All right," said the general. "It will be done. Oh, and there's someone on the radio who wants to speak to you."

He returned to the cockpit of the Gundam and turned on his radio.

"Well, if it isn't my CEO to be of SF Kaiba Corps.," said a sinister but friendly voice. It was Seto Kaiba the millionare gamer.

"Mr. Kaiba, hello!" Andrew greeted.

"So, you leave without telling your boss?" he joked, which he rarely does.

"Sorry, Mr. Kaiba," Andrew apologized.

"I have some people here who wants to speak to you..."

A clamor of different voices boggled the transmission, but it was still well and clear. His family: Sobbing cries from his mom and aunts, cheersquad shouts from his cousins, and good luck and prep chants from his dad and his uncles, and his best pal Mokuba shouting. He felt warm and less nervous hearing the voices of his loved ones.

"You heard them! Go get em tiger! Kaiba, over and out!" the transmission went out and the time of battle began!

The Tallgeese units easily slew the hundred updated Serpents Suits. Andy slew more than 500 suits and he stole a beam rifle to shoot down more. The enemy leaders got wind of this and sent out their greatest fights: The Devil Gundam, the Jaga Dora and the Sabazi. They engaged with the heroes. The pilot of the Devil Gundam, Phillip, took on the Wing Zero. Andrew retalited with the flick of his lightsabre. Philip activated his Devil's spear. The angel and the devil clashed. The battle flew about the Earth and finally took place on the moon.

"Well, if it isn't the dogooder, Andy Halliwell!!" Phillip teased.

"Phillip Wells!" Andy gasped horribly. "So, it's you who manipulated all of this!"

"Moi?"chuckled he. "Fool former friend! I'm on the right side. The question should be this: Are you on the right side? Are you sure you're fight for the right thing?"

"I'm fight for peace and justice!" Andy shouted. He turned off his coom link to NASA and the Enterprise. The conversation was private between the two. "I'm trying to stop this war!!"

"No, you're protecting the corrupted!" Phillip pushed away his enemy and charged back. Andy quickly blocked the attack and retaliated. "The Colonies need to be free from wretched Earth!!"

"I too agree, but the Space Colonies are trying to take over Earth," said Andy. "They wish to be the true rulers of Earth. But why are you here? WHy are you fighting? What do you have to gain from this war? What is it that you want? I know you, Phil. You've always talked in absolutes. You always talked about power. Is this what it is all about? Power?"

"You know nothing about me, Halliwell!!" Phillip thundered. "My parents were killed by your mother and your aunts!"

"They protected themselves!!" Andy said. "They are not killers! They protect the innocents, like we did three years ago. I thought I could lead you away from the darkness and turn you to the light. I failed you, my friend. I failed."

"Enough, man!! It's time to end this!" Phillip roared. "You and I are no longer friends! This battle and war will decide the fate of Earth and our families! Now, let's fight to the end!!"

Phillip was a strong Phoenix witch. As the younger brother of Bianca, he felt that it was his destiny to lead a campaign against the Charmed Ones since Bianca chose not to. With their matriarch away he took over the coven and made them semi-public. When he met Andrew Halliwell, son of Phoebe Halliwell, he turned away from the coven and joined the Halliwells protecting the innocents. His mother and father forcefully turned him back and attacked the Halliwell manor. Phoebe and her sisters acted in self defense and accidentally killed them. Phillip returned to the coven and swore vengence on the Halliwells and Earth. So, he joined the Zeous and fought against the Earth. Through those years, Phillip was a mighty Shaolin Warrior. He was the most formidable fighter of all.

The Devil Gundam fought with all his might to bring down the angel from Earth. But the white Gundam moved ever so graceful, blocking against the parries of the Devil's fork. Andy became slightly exhausted. Phillip saw this and let out all his strength! Andy blocked continiouly, not countering.

"Fool!" Phillip growled triumphantly. "You're so weak! I'm the greatest! You learn a woman's kung fu. Useless! It's merely a breathing excercise and you bragged it as a weapon. A useless weapon, like you, Andy. You should've used my strength against me, but you didn't. You're so predictable, Andy. You're so weak. I overestimated you. I see you're a disappointment. Now, it's time to die!!!"

The Devil Gundam took speed and charged for the kill. Wing Zero looked like it was battered, but...

Andy said, "It's not over yet!!"

After five seconds of waiting, Wing Zero re-ignigted his lightsaber and blocked the devil's attack. Rocks and debris flew like a storming churning.The Devil fell back. He raised his lightsaber and attacked the shocked Devil. He defended against the angel's furious attack until he could do no more. With a swipe upwards towards the face, Wing Zero sliced the Devil's beam trident into two. The Devil Gundam threw those pieces aside fired six beam cannons at Wing Zero. The angel grabbed his second saber and defected them back at the devil, destroying his cannons and the four vulcans.

"You will not defeat the Darkness Finger!!" Phillip shouted.

From the Devil's might shoulders, two four-fingered claws shot at the angel. Bold, he stood firm and blocked the super heated hands with his lightsabers. Fortunately for Andy, the hands of the devil shattered against the might of the angel's swords. He sliced them straight through and flew toward the devil. The Devil Gundam moved too late. Wing Zero came down on his enemy and sliced down the enemies arms and legs and finally the head. The devil attempted to escape.

"I'll be back, Halliwell!" Phillip shouted.

Unaware the fuel line was leaking, he flew back to the colony. He never made it for the Devil erupted in a great thunder and flame. The Phoenix, Shaolin warrior was finally gone and dead. But to this victory Andy won, he felt it was a tragedy. He lost his best friend to the clutches of human corruption, war and violence. He sighed and stood in the crater looking out at the battle in space.

He turned on his radio. His commander officers were outraged by Andy's manuver. Then, Wing Zero picked up three unidentified objects coming towards earth. Andy ignored the lectures and closed up on the three objects: Asteroids!

"Sir, three asteroids are coming towards Earth! Repeat three asteroids are coming towards up!!" Andy reported.

The whole base back on Earth gasped in horror.

"Sir, permission to engaged with these space rocks!!" Andy said.

"Permission granted, Lt. Halliwell," the general said. "Remember about the Buster Rifle. Don't do that again..."

"Yes sir," said Andy.

Wing Zero drew two long rifles and took off. The fate of Earth now lied in his hands.

[Master of Demon Slayer]

Chapter Three: The Tide Turns

It was meant to be this way, thought Andy to himself. That's what I saw in my visions. I have to do this!!

With that, he flew his Wing Zero towards the incoming asteroids. There were indeed three: giant space rocks, each one greater than the other. Wing Zero flew between two of the space rocks and aimed one rifle on each. Andy pulled the trigger and two powerful beams erupted from the barrels and ripped through the asteroids likea spear through flesh. The asteroids immediately incinerated in gulfs of fire. As soon as the explosion ceased, Andy combined the rifles together and aimed at the final asteroid.

"Oh, my God!!" Andy exclaimed. "This asteroid is even huger than the last two!!!"

But without hesitation, he pulled the trigger and fired a double barrel beam directly at the heart of the asteroid. The explosion was so huge and spectatcular, it was difficult to see. Immediately, folks at NASA, the Enterprise, the pilots and people of Earth cheered for the young pilot victory. "It's over!!" They yelled. Phoebe looked ever so relieved. She sighed and placed her head on dex.

"Wait!!" Andy shouted. "It didn't work!!"

The screen proved true. When debris cleared and settled across the darkness of space, the enemy was still coming toward earth. Though it had no face, it seemed to cackled at Wing Zero's futile attempt. There was nothing more but a crater upon this giant. The people of Earth began to panic. Andy held his rifle aloft, closed his eyes and thought a moment.

This is it then, he thought to himself. I have to do the impossible.

"Mom, Dad, I love you..." he said aloud.

"Wha--?" Phoebe knew immediately what Andrew was about to do. "No! Andy, don't do this!! Don't sacrifice yourself! There's gotta be another way!!"

"Your mother's right, don't do it, son!" Dex echoed in.

"No," said Andy. "I've seen this in my dreams. I have to do this to save Earth. One life for the others. It is the only way."

"Wait!" it was the general on the Enterprise. "Halliwell, if you use the Buster Rifle the third time, Wing Zero will be destroyed. We're going to fire nuclear missles at--"

"There won't be enough to destroy this d**n thing!!" Andy yelled. "I know I promised I would return, but this is one I can't keep. I apologized to you all. You're upset and I can't blame you for that. But I have to stop this asteroid from destorying life on Earth. Understand this, please."

Phoebe sobbed quietly as she stared in to the eyes of her son. It was death that was coming towards them. There was nothing NASA could do. Only her son stood between the asteroid and Earth.

"I love you too, son," cried Phoebe.

"Thank you, Mom," Andy smiled. "There will be another life time."

Then, the screen blackout. Andy was all alone. Though he felt the pain of his friends and family back home. He turned off his radio and raised his rifle. Andy flew his Gundam at the asteroid and hovered at its crater. He aimed his rifle directly at its heart, the barrel touching it. Andy breathed slowly and prepared to pull the trigger. Just then, he was pulled into another world just briefly. He saw peace between the two families: his and Bianca's. When he reuturned, he smiled warmly and pulled the trigger. The blast from the rifle was too great a burden for the Gundam. It began to fall apart and mini-explosions could be seen flying from the nearest mobile suit pilots. The powerful beam finally ripped through the asteroid and destroyed it. The rock in space was incinerated in blazing light. Wing Zero finally disappeared in the fire, shattering and exploding. When the fire died, there was nothing left. Nothing but a single Gundamium alloy feather floating in space...


If you want to find out what happens next, what for the next Chapter, Chapter Four: The Crumbling Love

[Master of Demon Slayer]

Chapter Four: Crumbling Love

This death of Phoebe's only son struck hard on the family like a destructive thunderbolt. Never a lost was this devastating to the family since Prue, God rests her soul. Chris felt that it was entirely his fault; he could've orbed into the cockpit and orbed out his cousin. No he didn't. He should have though. Had he been rescued, he'd still be here...but Earth would've been destroyed. What a baffling time, he thought frustratedly.

Bianca too greived for her two loved ones: Her mother and her brother. Lynn died of a rare disease unknown to the world of magic. Phillip...died in battle--slain by the sword of Andy...who also perished. The Phoenix Coven demanded her return, but she refused and she told her surrogate aunt: "My place is with the Halliwells. I will not return to bloodshed and murders."

Her aunt said this: "All right then. Do not blame me for whatever happens between you and Chris and his family. But I warn you: The Halliwells hate us. They believe that there are good and evil in this world. There are no such forces; there are the weak and the strong. In time you will learn of this. When you do, you will return to me."

Bianca dismissed and ingnored her aunt's warning. They were lies, she thought. Chris loves me for who I am, not for what I am. And yes, she was right on the target. They wedded a year after Andy's death. Kathleen Battle, a soprano, sang the song "Lovers", a theme that was romantic as it was haunting. Phoebe and her husband, Dex, attended the cermony, but the childless mother kept her silence. As for Bianca's family, they stood clear of this matrimony, except Bianca's surrogate aunt. She dropped by for only a few minutes unnoticed. She said this to Bianca: "White---Represents purity. Hmph! I tell you, my goddaughter, white is nothing more but powder sugar over rotten cake. I advise you to come home now, Bianca before you he breaks your heart."

"Leave me alone, Aunti Lien," she hissed. "Chris loves me for who I am. So does his family!"

"Love is for fools!" She scolded. "He broke my heart just like Chris will do to you, Bianca!!"

"You're lying!" Bianca said, "You killed his family and that's why he hated you. What have they ever done to you, huh? Nothing!"

"YOU---!!" she reduced her anger and volume. "You know nothing about me, goddaughter. I never killed his family. His surviving relatives accused me and he left me."

"I don't believe you," said Bianca. "Leave now or I'll tell my mother to blow you up!!"

"Piper?" she scoffed. "Fool. She doesn't have the powers to stop me. You'll wait and see!"

When no one looked, she shimmered and disappeared. Bianca and Chris slept well on their honeymoon night. But in her dreams, the fields of grass and beautiful wild flowers where she and Chris first met was a nightmare now. Death. Raining blood fell upon the lushicious land. The smell of blood was ever so sickening to Bianca. She swore to never kill again for that last murder haunted her for nearly five years. Ever since she met Chris, that nightmare died and forgotten. Now this! She woke up, sweating and panting. She looked to her left and saw that Chris was still asleep. She sighed, "Only a dream."

Suddenly, the phone rang. Chris woke up and picked up the reciever. A frantic voice cried out hysterically. It was Piper all right.

"Mom, slow down--What?!" Chris exclaimed. "Uncle Dex died? When? How?!"

Bianca sank down onto a chair near by. Could this be from her dream? Could her dream told her something?

"All right, we're coming home," he put down the reciever and looked up at Bianca. "Darling, we should go."

Bianca nodded sadly. She asked, "Did Piper know how he died?"

Chris shook his head. "There was an athame stuck into his forehead."

"Oh my God!" she gasped. "That's terrible!!"

The two quickly orbed out and returned to the Manor, where Darryl asked the devastated Phoebe. Piper offered her comfort, but it was futile. Darryl had been the Halliwells' friend and protector for a long time. As investigators rolled out Dex's body, Phoebe burst into loud sobs and flood of tears.

"First my son!" she cried. "Now my husband!"

When Chris and Bianca arrived after the investigators left, Phoebe looked up and Biamca and shouted, "Bitch!!"

She leaped from the couch and lunged at Bianca. Piper and Paige held their sister back, who was filled with hatred and vengence. It made her strong.

"You killed my husband!" she accused her niece. "Why did you?"

Kyle and Leo entered the room to see what was going on. Phoebe told her side of the story and Chris quickly interrupted her, "Aunt Phoebe, she was with me all night! It couldn't have been her!"

"It's her!" Phoebe said. "I know! Dex told me before he died!! He saw you, Bianca! Your brother took my son away. Now you took away my husband because he killed your brother!!"

"It's not like that!" Bianca protested. "It is not that! I swore not to kill anymore! Please, believe me!!" She begged her in-laws.

Only Phoebe gave her a skeptic and hateful look. Leo, Kyle, Paige, and Piper did trusted her and gave Bianca the benefit of the doubt.

Wyatt and Kyle's son, Adam, orbed in. Leo filled them in on what happened. Chris comforted Bianca and said to the distressed wife, "I believe you, Bianca. I love you."

"I love you too, Chris," she said shakily.

As the two embraced firmly, Chris looked down, wondering...pondering...calculating...


Six months passed. Bianca and Chris agreed to start their own family. Such a happy occasion was interrupted by a tragedy. Another tragedy. Kyle's son was in the hospital. Adam was in a coma and slowly dying. They arrived at the hospital but only to be dismissed by Kyle himself when they reached the room. He expalined to them that Adam had just died and he added, "I don't want my son's murderer near me or Paige, Chris."

"She didn't kill Adam, Uncle," Chris said quickly, but Paige quickly stopped him.

"Don't let her near us," Paige warned tearfully.

Chris turned away and returned to his wife's side.

"They think I did it, don't they?" she sobbed softly. "I swear, I didn't Chris. Please believe me! I loved Adam! He was ever so kind to me. I wouldn't harm him!"

Chris looked down for a moment. He looked up at her and said, "I know you didn't do it, Bianca. I won't let this come between us."

A charge called out to Chris. Chris orbed his wife home and went off to see his charge in Transylvania. The Manor was empty. No one home until Wyatt orbed in.

"Hi, sister," he said with a warm smile.

"Don't you hate me?" she said.

"I know my charge very well," he said. "You are no killer, no matter what they say."

Suddenly, a masked demon shimmered in and threw her into the wall. She fell unconcious. Then it turned on Wyatt, who was obviously stronger than the demon. He aimed well at the masked intruder with a powerful lightning bolt; to his surprise, it didn't fazed him. Wyatt looked confused. The demon disappeared and warped behind him. He took out a Phoenix athame and stabbed Wyatt in the back. Wyatt let out a quiet shout and the demon left murder weapon next to him. Wyatt breathed rapidly--the poison was going into his heart. It was fast...and too late.

When Bianca awoke, she found her Whitelighter dead. She tried hard to wake up Wyatt, but no response came from him. She picked up the dagger and looked at it. It was from her coven.

Just then, Chris orbed in and entered the living room to find his dead brother on the floor. He cried out and rushed to Wyatt's side. He cradled his beloved brother's head in his lap, calling out his name. He turned to Bianca with such animosity and hatred. Very much like Phoebe, Kyle and Paige's eyes.

"No, Chris, please!" she began to plead, but Chris wouldn't have it.

"Shut up!" he cried angrily. "You killed him! Why?! Why did you kill Wyatt?! HUH?! WHY!!!"

"Chris, no!" she sobbed. "I didn't---"

"Aunt Phoebe was right!" Chris said. "So was Uncle Kyle and Aunt Paige. I can't believe I trusted you...loved you! Bianca, Leave me and don't come back. I never want to see you, hear from you...again. You are my enemy---"

"Chris, please no!" Bianca grabbed his hand but he immediately retracted it as though her hands her loose wires.

"Leave, or I will kill you!!" Chris threatened. "Go!!"

Bianca shook her head pleadingly, but she knew that she must leave. "I love you, Chris..." and with that, she disappeared, leaving Chris craddling his dead brother.

Yes, as Mary Alice would say, such a love is like a beautiful flower, but all good things must come to an end, like rose that blooms in the spring and dies in the fall.

She returned to the Phoenix Coven as there was no where else she could go. Her Surrogate Aunt, Lien, was waiting for her upon the red throne.

"Welcome home, my god-daughter," she greeted her niece with ever open arms. She gave Bianca a welcoming hug and said to her, "What is troubling you?"

"You were right," said she. "They never liked me. Chris left me. He said he loved me!!"

"There, there," Lien comforted Bianca. "Tears are for the weak. Channel it into a weapon, your powers, my niece. Remeber, you will soon become Matriarch of the Phoenix Coven, but you must prove your loyalty to me and to your family."

"Yes, Aunt," she nodded.

"Right now, I am Matriarch," said Lien. "I will help you become the leader of this Cult. Together, we will wipe out the weak and rule the magic world with an iron fist!!"

Her white hair flowed madly as though her anger set her powers in motion. No, it was not. It was her excitement that did so. Bianca sighed heavily and said the word that made Lien ever so joyous: "Yes."

The Phoenix Coven had never been stronger! Lien was finally content.

"Your mother would've been proud," she smiled at Bianca.

Chapter 5: Dragon of the Northern Eye River

Mourning for the passing was all that occured and done lately in the Halliwell family. Unfortunately, the coroners were less than willing to return the bodies of their relatives. One of the lab technicians explained as an excuse, "We found white hair of the body and discovered that it had poison in them." He and his collegues continued their research against the Halliwell's wishes.

Chris was determined to get vengence. For the past three days and three nights, he skimmed through the Book of Shadows throughly. He hoped to find a way to bring back his loved ones back. Nothing. There was nothing in this damn book that could help him. There was nothing in here about white hair or even any way of vanquishing those evil witches! Frustrated, Chris threw away his heritage and crumbled down in tears.

Piper ran up the stairs and entered the attic. "Chris? Are you all right?"

Chris shook his head. "No." His voice croaked. "I want to bring them back. There's nothing!"

"I know what it is like to lose a brother," said Piper. "Because I lost Prue long ago. I felt helpless, but I remember this: it wasn't anyone's fault."

"It's like the book deserted us, Mom," Chris sobbed. "Why? If magic can do all of these things, why can't we bring them back? Why, Mom? It's not like we haven't cheated death before. I don't understand why this time isn't any different!"

Piper hugged her son and said, " We've tried every magical way to bring them back… but we can't. They're gone. I want them back too, Chris. But...we can't. Thank god we didn't lose you also, Chris."


Later that night when all was still and silence in the Manor, an eerie voice called out to Chris. But it was very much familiar. It came from the attic, that voice. Chris orbed up to there and found the book flipping about.

"Chris..." white orbs swirled and materialized into an elderly woman: Grams. "Hello, my great grandson."

"Grams?" Chris said sleepily. "What are you doing here?"

"Breaking some rules of course," said Penny with a smile. "I heard your pain, Chris. So did the King of the Northern Eye River."

"The King of the Northern Eye River?" Chris said bafflely. "I never heard of this...who is he?"

"He is a Dragon Lord of the river, near Oakland," replied Penny. "He asked for me to come fetch you. He is offering you aid."

"What kind of aid?" asked Chris.

"He didn't say," said Grams. "Well, he told me, but he told me not to tell you."

"Cut to the chase, Grams," Chris demanded.

"Are you giving me lip boy?!" she scolded him. At once, Chris silenced. "Listen. He wants you to take the bodies to his palace."

"You mean break into the coroner's and steal the bodies?" Chris scoffed. "What the hell does he want with the bodies?"

"Look, do you want his help or not?" Grams demanded.

"You tell me why he wants the bodies for!" Chris yelled.

"Trust me, Chris," Grams begged him quietly. "It is the only way."

Without another word, she disappeared. The Book of Shadows stopped its flipping and bore its page: Summoning what was lost.

Chris thought to himself, what do I have to lose? and casted the Lost and Found spell:

Guiding spirits I ask your charity
Lend me your focus and clarity
Lead me to the one I cannot find
Restore that and my peace of mind.

The spell worked surprisingly. The bodies of Wyatt, Dex and Adam orbed into the attic...as well as other things that were lost over the years. "Uh-oh..."



Without any other thought, Chris orbed to the Northern Eye River. There was a small Buddhist shrine near the bare river, but no palace or lord of the river. Was he tricked?

He climbed down the hilled and saw nothing but a thin stream of water. There a few inches away from his feet was a struggling fish, flailing about. It blinked. Quickly, Chris bore the helpless thing and returned into the dying river. Suddenly, the fish glowed and brightened. The intensity was too great and Chris sheilded his eyes. The light died and Chris looked up to see a chubby man standing in the sands. He was not human.

"Thank you, young sir," said the man with a holy dragon face. "These days, there are rare kids who would do this. The majority would've tortured me. So, what is your name and what are you doing out here so early? You should be in bed."

"I--I--," Chris stammered. He never saw such a strange phoenomenon.

"Oh, you are Christopher Halliwell," he chuckled as he stroke his green beard. His horn glistened gold while his green hair flowed like water in the breeze. "I met your great-grandmother. What a lady...even though she's dead. So anyways, I have a solution to your problems. So please, let's enter my palace."

"What palace?" Chris asked.

"Oh, I forgot," he said sheepishly. "Uh, you better climb back up there and uh, stay there. I forgot one thing. I'm not allowed to invite mortals or human beings into my palace. Sorry."

Chris did as he was told. The Dragon King disappeared into the tiny stream. Then, after a thunderous rumble of the earth, a flood rushed through and filled up. The Dragon King rose again with three souls: Dex, Adam and Wyatt.

"Wyatt?! Uncle Dex! Adam!!" Chris cried out.

"Chris!!" Wyatt exclaimed. "How've you been?"

"Worried sick about you guys!" Chris scolded. "Why didn't you visit us after I tried to summon you?"

"That would be me," said the Dragon King. "It's best if they stay low for a while, you know, I don't want that White Hair witch bothering me."

"Thank you, your highness for you hospitality," said Wyatt.

"No need for that, my boy," said the king joyfully. "I forsee that you will be a great ruler of the magic world. Just, uh, put in a good word for me if you ever meet an Immortal or the Elders, okay?"

Wyatt nodded.

The Dragon King popped one golden pills each into the the deads' mouth. Immediately, the souls returned to their respective bodies and the Dragon King returned to the river. Dex, Adam and Wyatt woke. It was as though they slept for a long time.

"Wyatt, Uncle Dex, Adam!" Chris called out to them. "How are you?"

"Let's go kill that witch," said Wyatt excitedly.

Chapter Six: The Legend of Deadly Hollow

The leader of the Phoenix sect was quick and clever unlike the warlocks (who by the way she wiped them all out; they are extinct) and some lesser demons. Although it long ago was vanquished, the great leader found a way to revive that devastating power. It was one that nearly destroyed the Charmed Ones. The Source was dirt compared to this great thing.

But when she confronted her followers with this, they disaggreed with Lien. They were told by their predecesers that this thing she seeks--Ultimate Power--was a risk not to be taken. A young Seer was torn apart into millions of pieces by the flick of the white hair warned Lien to not touch the Hollow.

"I am not the Source," said Lien as her hair retracted. "I am stronger than any magical beings in the magical world. I will use the Hollow. No one will stop me. Those who dare will die."

No one dared to speak up. They looked down at their feet in silent.

"Good," she smiled. "Dismissed."

As soon as they were all she said to herself, "Fools. Not only will I take the Hollow, I will take the second greatest power also. No one, not even the gods can stop me."

Bianca, hiding in the deepest of the shadows in the underworld, heard her godparent's plan. Although she was a member of the evil sect, her heart still had good. She thought of Chris and his family. She disappeared but not without notice.

Chris felt darkness in the atomsphere. Wyatt, although the strongest of all the good magical being, didn't feel any different. When Chris approached his brother and asked he felt anything strange, Wyatt said no. Aunt Phoebe, an Empath, didn't feel anything either. Chris concluded that he was only imagining things.

Wyatt was practicing sword stances with Excalibur. Chris orbbed onto the Golden Gate Bridge, looking out west at the terrific sunset. Just then, a familiar voice called out...

Chapter Six, Part 2


Alarmed by Bianca's sudden apparation, Chris quickly took her into the corner of the attic away from the attic door in the deepest of shadows. He then asked her, "What are you doing here?!"

Chris, Bianca noticed, sounded concerned and worried. She smiled briefly, but went straight to business: "My godmother--she is looking for the Hollow."

"Hollow?" the hair of Chris's head stood up. "You mean the ultimate power?!"

"It is not the only thing, Chris," Bianca warned. "She spoke of the second power, the one that near destroyed the Charmed Ones long ago."

"The Ultimate power?" Chris asked himself. Then he turned to Bianca. "Impossible! That's impossible. my parents and my aunts defeated them along time ago."

"My godmother," Bianca said quickly, "will get what she wants."

Wyatt called out for Chris. His footsteps clopped closer. The two looked into each other's eyes; their fire--that light that they once see in each other's love--still burned greatly. Bianca quickly planted a kiss on Chris's warm cheek. She added just before she disappeared, "Be careful, my love. I can't lose you."

Just as she disapparated, Wyatt just entered. "Hey, Chris? Guess what I just scryed?"

"What?" Chris asked, trying to hide the fact that Bianca was here. Boy, was that a failure.

"Don't worry about Bianca," said Wyatt. "She didn't kill me."

Chris sighed in relief. "That's good. I wish the others would, you know... So, waht did you find?"

"Someone we all know," Wyatt chuckled.
