The Dark Witch of Talwar (Done!)

[Master of Demon Slayer]

The year... is 2020. The world has changed since the power of three were ended. The Source was no more. People live their peaceful lives. Especially the three sisters who are happily married and with children.

Paige and her mortal husband moved from his apartment to Maryland with their twin boys, Jake and John. They are rough little tykes but when they reached their 20s, they are the most mature adults, aside from Wyatt.

Piper and Leo has three kids, all boys. Wyatt is the oldest and the optimist. Chris is the moderate. Young Adam, twelve years younger than Chris, is the realist. Wyatt begins his gradute years in UCSF while Chris was finishing up his under-graduate units. Adam begins his first elementary school year in the fall.

Phoebe is also married. Her husband, though kind and generous, was a traditional husband. Phoebe quit her job at the Bayview Mirror. She, her daughter, and her husband now live in small Ukaih. He works, Phoebe becomes into the thing she hated the most: Housewife! Her daughter, Deidra, is a smart and charming girl. But... in secret, she hides her true self...

For nearly two deacades, Deidra hid her greatest secret from her relatives. Such a secret, she thought to herself, was too dangerous to share.

One day, she approached her mother and told Phoebe the 'secret'. Then her mother laughed.

"You're a witch, honey!" Phoebe told her. "Of course you can do magical things!"

"Mother,I blew up a teacher," Deidra added fearfully.

At that very moment, life and light faded away from Phoebe's face and eyes. She was petriefied. She was speechless.

"Mother, I'm scared!" Deidra admitted. "What's wrong with me?"

Suddenly three orbs of light swirled in the dining room. Three Elders appeared, Odin, Sandra and a newcomer. They issued a warrant for Deidra's arrest. Phoebe protested at first until Odin informed Phoebe of two more incidents caused by Deidra. Phoebe was lost and confused. She didn't not know who to side.

"Mother, please! Don't let them take me!" Her daughter begged Phoebe. She kneeled and prayed to her mother.

"I'm sorry, Deidra," Phoebe apologized. She slumped down against the cabinants and sobbed.

The Elders used their magic and placed fiery cuffs around her wirsts, preventing any magic she could use. The Elders struggled to hold her tight as Deidra struggled to free herself while calling out to her mother for help. Phoebe didn't get up. The Elders orbed and left the dining room empty with Phoebe in the kitchen crying...


Seven years later, Deidra still remembered when the Elders tried her and banished her to the underworld. There, she met a great and powerful Dark Wizard who was profiecient with the sword and the magic. In this forsaken part of the underworld, she honed her skills until he accepted her as his apprentice.

"Soon, we will have revenge on those who hate you, banished you," promised her master. "With your skills, they will never stop you."

"Thank you, master," she bowed respectfully.

"You have been trained well, Deidra," commented the Dark Wizard. "The Elders are no match for you."

"But, how will I enter the School?" asked Deidra. "I am evil. The force field will prevent my attack."

The Dark Wizard laughed darkly. "My apprentice. Barriers! Dear child, you are greater than any magical beings on Earth. You, Dark Witch of Talwar, shall be greatest of all. Show them no mercy. Slay them all. Leave none alive. Kill those who stand in your way."

"Yes, master," she confirmed. She squeezed her sheath tightly as her anger was fueled by his words.

He circled around her like a vulture while whispering manipulative and venomous sayings. Her anger swelled and the hatred flamed like forest fire.

"Your mother...abandoned you, allowing those Elders to take you away," he reminded her.

The hurting words "mother" and "abandon" rang through her head like a constant ringing that won't stop. She only embraced her hatred.

"The Elders tried you," he continued. "They have no evidence but they deemed you guilty. Yes... You have been wronged. Your family watched from a distance as the Elders sent you to Talwar. They only came to see your demise! Deidra is dead for her light is dead. But in the darkness, you live. You are the Darkness. You are Evil's sword. On Evil's side, there are no boundaries. You are limitless!"

"Yes, master!" Deidra affirmed loudly.

"Deidra, forsake your name and become Morgana," The wizard told her. She accepted it gratefully. "Rise now from our forsaken lands and spread darkness upon the world of light!"

"I will do your bidding," said Morgana. "For the sake of all Evil."

With a flash of lightning and a surge of wind, she vanished, leaving a small trail of smoke and her master alone. The Dark Wizard cackled diabolically as he foresaw the fall of the Good.

[Master of Demon Slayer]

Adam was the youngest of the Halliwell children. Unlike the other boys and his brothers, he is quiet and often shy, except at home and in school. Wyatt and Chris, his two big, older brothers, always teased him. Four-eyes, Mini-nerd, Short-shy...These name callings are with love.

In school, these words were quite the opposite.

His classmates excluded Adam from all activities because of his wierdness and his goody-two shoe-ness.

Adam wore his hair down pass his ear lobes. The girls cou;dn't help but laughed at his hair style, despite his gentleman like qualities. They found that...disturbing.

"That hair is so 60s!" exclaimed the girl who sits behind Adam to the girl who sits near the teacher's desk."

"You mean Jurrasic Age!" the other girl corrected her. "He's so quiet and nice! It' really weird!"

"You mean stuck up!" the girl who sits behind Adam said. "Even his niceness annoys Mr. Tunrer. He finds Adam so alien like!"

"Yeah, Adam thinks he's too good for the rest of us. Hmph!"

Adam heard everything. He walked towards the drop-off lot, thinking of going home and never returning to school. Before he reached there, he overheard two boys talking about him. Adam stoppped and listened carefully.

"Adam?! Bah-humbug!" Tom exclaimed. Tom sat next to Adam on his left side. "He's a smartass, kissup! Teacher's pet!"

"Teacher's pet?" snickered Will, the boy who sat in front of Adam. "What a Mama's boy! He thinks he's all that. He a nobody, man! Mama's boys always end up in the gutter!"

Adam's heart sank immediately. He wanted so much to be like every other kid.

"Four-Eyed freak!" Tom added.

Piper honked his car. Adam ignored their quiet tauntings and walked straight to his mother's Cherokee. He said nothing to Piper after he got in.

"Hey, there, Adam!" she said hello to him. "Aren't you going to give Mommy a kiss on the cheek?"

Adam said nothing. He sheilded his face behind his backpack.

"Just go, Mom," he begged.

Piper was disappointed, but noticed that he was hurt. She adjusted her gear and pulled her emergency brake down and drove away.

After they returned home, Adam immediately jumped out the car and ran into the house. He passed by his brothers without saying hello and ran upstairs as fast as he could. He passed by Leo. Before his father could say anything, Adam shut his bedroom door behind him and locked it.

Just then, Piper entered the manor.

"Hey, Mom. What's with Adam?" Chris asked her.

Leo entered the room and gave his wife a kiss. Piper didn't accept it.

"Well, he seems a little agitated," said Piper. "He didn't want to talk about it."

"He was crying," said Leo.

"What? Why?" Wyatt asked.

"I don't know," Leo replied. "He didn't want to talk to anyone, especially you two."

Piper eyed at her two older sons suspicously. "Did you guys make fun of him earlier today?"

Actually, neither Chris or Wyatt made fun of their little brother this morning. All they said to him was "have fun". They explained this to their mother.

"Well, something must've happen if he doesn't want to talk to you two," Piper replied.

"Maybe school problems?" Leo suggested.

"No, he loves school..." Piper enforced the idea that Adam loves schooling. Before she could finish, the telephone rang and Leo's cell phone rang simutaneously. Piper picked up the reciever. "Hi, Paige! How are you and Kyle and the boys?"

"Victor? Hey, what's up?" Leo answered his cell.

Wyatt and Chris took the opportunity to see why Adam acted so downheartedly. They orbed upstairs and into his room. They found Adam burying his face in the pillow, crying softly to himself. He was aware that his brothers were in the room.

"Go away!" Adam told them. His voice was muffed but they could distingused his hurt.

"Hey, Mini-nerd!" Chris said cheerfully.

Adam suddenly turned around and pushed Chris off the bed. Chris fell over on his butt. Wyatt quickly restrained Adam.

"Why did you do that to Chris?!" Wyatt demanded.

"He called me a Mini-nerd!!" Adam cried out angrily.

Chris felt remorsed and apologized. "I didn't know--"

"Yeah, you don't know squat!" Adam yelled.

"Adam, what's wrong?" asked Wyatt.

"Nothing!!" Adam struggled and slipped out of Wyatt's octopus grasp.

He sat himself down at the window and looked out at the setting sun.

"Adam, what's wrong?" It was Chris who asked. "Did something happen at school?"

"No..." he sobbed and nodded. "God...Why do people hate me?"

"We don't hate you," Wyatt assured Adam. He walked to Adam and embraced his hurt brother.

"Yeah you do," Adam stated. "You guys call me names all the time. When you guys didn't call me anything today, it was the greatest day of my life! Until I learned that the students hated me."

"Our name calling...they're filled with love..." Chris explained but Wyatt quickly stopped him.

"Why didn't you tell us?" asked Wyatt. "Why didn't you tell us before?"

"I didn't want to hear you laughing at me!" Adam shrugged off Chris and Wyatt's arms off his shoulder.

"We never laugh at you," said Wyatt. "We never did and we'll never will. Adam, I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry too, kid," Chris apologized.

Adam sighed heavily, still crying. "Me too, Chris. I didn't mean that..."

Chris was the first to hug Adam. Wyatt stretched his arms and gave his brothers a big bear hug. Adam felt a whole lot better, knowing his brothers were good brothers.

"You two are my best friends," Adam added.

They "awed" and Wyatt shamelessly kissed Adam's forehead. Brotherly love...

[Master of Demon Slayer]

The Massacre of Magic School

The Dark Witch of Talwar stood upon the bridge's tower, overlooking San Francisco. She breathed in the ocean air. She found the taste distasteful. She turned to face the invisible school. She held out her hand and touched the exterior walls.

"There's no turning back," Deidra, I mean, Morgana, said to herself.

She closed her eyes and flashed out like lightning. She appeared the school library while Miss. Donovan organized the spell books. Deidra drew her sword and called to Miss. Donovin. The librarian turned and was shocked to see a stranger in the library with a sword pointing at her. She immediately knew the stranger was an enemy.

“I am Morgana, the Dark Witch of Talwar,” she introduced herself. “I am here to exterminate everyone here. You will be the first victim.”<br>
“I don’t think so!” Donovin shouted. She made a run for it but it was too late.

Morgana was far too quick and clever. The librarian ran into the blade and it pierced through her abdomen. She gasped as she looked up at Morgana. She pulled the sword out of her victim and the librarian fell down dead. Morgana wiped off the blood with Donovin’s skirt and sheathed her sword.

“Hmm…” she mumbled to herself. “Who should I kill next?”<br>
The bell rang. Morgana heard it and smiled cruelly.

A teacher led a group of twenty students towards the library. Morgana couldn’t help it but chuckled to herself aloud. When the group entered, Morgana chanted in Latin a spell and sealed the all exits and entrances of the school. The teachers marched into the library to demand what was going on. The students saw the dead librarian on the floor. Some of them screamed.

“Nothing,” said Morgana. She raised her sword and sheath. “Someone call for the exterminators to get rid of pests. Well, I see a lot of pests here that need to be exterminated!”<br>
With slight flick of her sword, fifty people were instantly slain and killed… The onslaught continued as many students tried to escape using various spells and incantations. Her spell prevented any means of escape. They, the students and the teachers, were all slain in cold blood. Magic School, the once safe place to be, became a holocaust. Morgana, stained with blood all over her, let out a triumphant laugh as she spun herself around in a circle, rejoicing her successful mission.

She snapped her fingers and a force field disappeared. Then four orbs swirled in the library and four Elders, none we know, materialized. They were horrified by what they discovered.

“Here, Elders,” she called out to them. “I’m the one who cause the carnage.”<br>
“Why?” asked one of the Elders. “Why would you do this?”<br>
“Because…” she said and raised her sword. Her eyes blackened and her hair flowed with the wind she generated. “I want revenge!”<br>
With one slew, she skewered and vanquished all four Elders. They didn’t have the chance to defend themselves or escape. Morgana cackled as she slain each one. As the last one exploded into orbs, she fell on her knees and laughed crazily.

“Now…” she continued to cackle. She heard her master’s call. She closed her eyes and vanished in a flash of lightning.

She returned to Talwar where her master waited for her. He applauded. “Good! Good! You have done well, Morgana. You are truly a powerful warrior. Soon, we will rule the Underworld and the Surface!”<br>
“Yes, my master,” said Morgana. “I shall rule at your side as queen!”<br>
“No, not yet,” he waved a no finger. “No…You have three you must defeat. Wyatt…Chris…Adam…”

“Adam? My cousin who once confide in me,” Morgana said aloud. “Are they a threat? Wyatt is always the nice one. I find him so annoying. Chris…? He’s a pretty boy. Adam? I am quite close to him. He’s weak.”<br>
“Then it is his strength,” stated the Dark Wizard.

“He hates his brothers because they always call him names,” she explained. “He feels his brothers are inferior and cruel.”<br>
“If they work together, then the new Power of 3 will be a threat to us,” reminded the Dark Wizard.

“Not if Adam joins our side…” suggested the Dark Witch of Talwar.

[Master of Demon Slayer]

Talk about evil!

How do y'all think so far. I'm planning to make it even darker...

[Master of Demon Slayer]

Death Takes another Halliwell...

Deidra meditated as she planned her next procedure. Suddenly, the Dark Wizard appeared behind her. She simply greeted him politely. "Welcome Master. How far did you travel outside of our foresaken land?"

"Very far," replied the master. "The Source...has long been vanquished. When out time comes, we will rule all that is Good and Evil."

"Yes, master," she broke off from her meditation mode and stood up to face him. "I feel that time is near."

"It has been a week," reminded the master. "You still have to kill the Halliwells and convert Adam."

"Converting him won't be so simple," Morgana informed him. "Cole Turner, his teacher, is protecting him. He is his guardian angel of somesort."

"Whitelighter?" the dark master scoffed. "He's stuck in limbo for all eternity, last I heard."

"Unless destiny has something in store for him," Morgana added. "Cole is not a whitelighter. I know that. I don't know what he is or what he wants..."

"Perhaps...if he succeeds in protecting your cousin, then he will become mortal again," said the master. "After all, he is in love with your mother..."

Then, it hit Morgana. Phoebe, her mother, was once in love with Cole and Cole loved her. It was possible that they are still in love with each other. Cole never let go his love for her mother.

"Then his compassion for my mother...is his undoing," said Morgana. "Adam doesn't know who Cole is truly. There is another way to make him even more vulnerable. This process...Cole can't revert."

She gave her master a sly nod. Her master responded with a smile and a nod. He understood her plan.


Adam was reading his assigned chapter for homework when someone knocked on the door. Piper opened them and welcomed Adam's teacher, Cole Turner. Adam was surprised to see him here. Turner claimed he left his Math textbook back in class. Adam rebuttaled. He just did his math homework and rummaged through his folders for his completed assignment.

"You mean the one in your math book?" Cole opened to Chapter 5, section 7 of the Prealgebra book. It was there, his completed assignment. "You might have to check your signs and square roots..."

Adam looked distraught. He remember putting his book in his backpack. He felt that he was going out of his mind. He quickly held on to reality. "Thank you, Mr. Turner. It's really kind of you to come down here and deliever my so called missing book. Thanks again."

"Now, Adam, I would like to talk with Mr. Turner in private," Piper ushered her son upstairs. After Adam was gone, she turned to Cole with a suspicious eye.

"What?" Cole asked as though nothing strange was happening.

"Are you stalking my son? If you are, I'm gonna blow you up like we did before," Piper threated.

"Adam is my new charge," Cole replied simply.

"You're a Whitelighter? Ha!" she scoffed. "Are the Elders crazy enough to enlist a demon--"

"I'm more of a Guardian Angel, Piper," Cole corrected her. "I'm here because the Angel of Destiny chose me to guide and protect your son. Whitelighter have a similar job, but my job is to keep your son on the right path."

"Why do I feel so content?" Piper said aloud sarcastically.

"You have every right not to trust me," said Cole. "But, I'm changed! I'm one of the good guys now!"

"That's it! I am really content," she mumbled to herself.

Then, Adam ran down stairs, screaming and yelling in fear. He jumped behind the couch and hid behind there.

"Adam, what's wrong?" Piper asked him.

Cole sensed danger approaching them. "Get down!"

Piper clutched her son and they both ducked down. A raptor demon shimmered in and attacked immediately. Cole held out his hands and freezed the raptor demon in midair. Adam and Piper took a peek. Cole snapped his fingers and the demon bursted into flames. Adam was surprised by his teacher's power.

"Who'd you do that?" he asked.

"I'm your Guardian Angel, Adam," Cole replied. "Wait, you're not supposed to know or see this. My first mistake."

"You know, I think I need to lie down, Mom," said Adam, rubbing his forehead. "I might be coming down with a fever. This is so...weird."

Cole suddenly heard a faint bel tolling. "Oh, looks like the Council wants my update."

"Council?" Piper and Adam said confusedly.

"Oh, you know, Jade Emperor, Guan Di, Xi Wang Mu," Cole replied. "The Imperial Council."

Cole closed his eyes and disappeared in a flash of white light and orbs.

Wyatt and Chris orbed home and found Adam and Piper on the couch, looking blank and confused. Well, Adam was more confused and baffled. When Chris asked Adam, Piper replied, "Oh, you know...Cole turned out to be Adam's angel, non-whitelighter. This is such a crappy day for me. First P3 is infested with pests, and I have to cancel the band. Now this?"

"If Cole is a good guy, couldn't we trust him?" Chris asked obviously.

"Cole was a demon, then a human, then the Source, and finally a demon again," Piper replied. "Don't you think--"

"Maybe he's here to guide him?" Wyatt wchoed.

"Where's Dad?" Adam asked.

"He's grocery shopping," said Piper. "He's really shaken up about that massacare. I mean, who could've of done this? The school was protected."

"Not from me..." a voice drifted through the manor.

In a flash of flames, Morgana revealed herself. "I was the one who killed all those people."

"Deidra?" the Halliwell children and Piper echoed in disbelief.

"How did you--?" Piper quickly grabbed her son. Wyatt and Chris were ready to defend them.

"What, no hello to a fellow relative?" she scoffed. "Well, well, well. Hello, Adam, long time no see. How have you been? I see you are doing fine."

"Deidra, leave at once!" Piper ordered.

"Not until Adam comes with me," said Morgana. "He has great potential."

"Piper? Kids, I'm--Deidra!" Leo gasped. "Piper, run!"

It was too late for Leo. She hurled him in to the wall and he fell unconcious. Chris grabbed Piper and Adam's hands and orbed, but nothing happened.

"Sorry, kids," she apologized with a cackle and drew her sword. "Orbing is quite useless since my spell prevents you from leaving here."

Wyatt gestured and fired a lightning ball at her. Morgana stepped a few steps aside and the ball impacted the wall. She dashed and hit him across his face, sending him flying across the room. He got up, but Morgana flashed before him and pinched his pressure points, paralyzing him. Chris, Adam and Piper ran into the kitchen and tried opening the door, but it was stuck. Piper grabbed a fire extinguisher and banged it on the door. It didn't splinter.

"It is futile to escape," said Morgana. "I am here for Adam only. Don't make me kill you."

Chris stood between her and Piper who was desperately holding on to scared Adam. But, Morgana gestured and flung Chris into the glass cabinants. He fell and glass rained on him, wounding him. Morgana approached Piper and Adam.

"No!" Piper yelled. She faked to her right and made for her left.

Morgana seperated her two hands and flung mother and son apart. Adam was thrown against the wall and Piper to the counter. Piper quickly got up and ran to Adam. Morgana raised her sword and swung it swiftly. Piper gasped in horror. Blood dripped on the floor. Chris stared in horror. Piper looked down. Her upper body seperated from her lower right hip to underneath her left arm pit. Piper died with her eyes opened.

Chris and Adam yelled out in sadness. Morgana couldn't help but enjoy the pain.

[Master of Demon Slayer]

Soon to come! Adam's greatest secret is reveal!

That is the secret the Dark Wizard wants!

I hated when I had Piper slain. It's just like my novel when I had the Vampire kill off one of the main, cool, big-brother type character. Oy vey!

[Master of Demon Slayer]

[glow=orange,5,000]The Firestarter[/glow]




Adam watched in horror as Morgana raised her sword again and slashed her mother's corpse. Adam yelled out to her to stop. Morgana did so and she turned her blood stained face and smiled. "Will you take my up on my offer? Or do I have to kill Chris for you to convert?"

Adam looked away. Anger swelled within his heart and mind. He saw that his cousin, Deidra, was no more than a murderer with no respect for the dead.

"If you want my brother, you'll have to go through me!" Chris told her. He stood between her and his brother.

Adam looked up. His mother is dead. Now Chris was standing up for him. How many more lives must be lost just for protecting me, he thought angrily. Mom is daed because of me and because of her! I won't lose anymore. I will kill her. I will avenge my mom's death!

Like a powerful flame of a dragon's deadly breath,


the kitchen warmed up quickly as Adam's eyes glowed with ragin flame. Chris looked behind him and found Adam, his litle brother, surrounded by red and black fire. Morgana was caught by surprised.

With a strength of a mighty three headed dragon, he leapt and headbutt Morgana's abdomen. The two crashed through the wall and into the backyard. They fell down but they quickly rebounded and stood stabily on their two feet. Morgana stared into the eyes of great power of the mighty of the divine dragon with powers beyond her imagination, but she was far from admitting defeat.

"A Firestarter," she mumbled. "Hmm. This is much more complicated than I thought. Adam, come with me and I will help you control your powers."

Adam didn't hear her. He crouch down on all fours and the dancing fire of red and black stretched a column into the Heavens. The fire turned gold as the sun, immiting surging energy of anger and hatred. His body shimmered and expanded. Morgana immediately fired red lightning bolts at Adam. The column of golden fire extinguish her attack.

"Impossible!" she cried out.

Adam, the shy boy she once knew, changed into the a winged, golden beast with red eyes and a blue amulet upon his forehead.

[glow=gold,4,000][/glow]

Faster than he transformed, the great behemoth aimed an accurate fireball at her. Morgana pulled out her sword and the fireball impacted her blade. Morgana successfully held off the golden fireball. But she knew Adam was not just a Firestarter. He was also a rare shapeshifter, rare in witch's blood. She vanished and the fireball dispersed.
The golden beast howled in pain as he flapped his mighty wings, taking himself into the sky. He scanned the city. He found nothing of this place familiar. Just as he ignited another fireball, a familier voice called out his name. The beast turned his head down. With eyesights like the falcon, he saw a familiar young face.

"Chris?" muttered the beast to himself.

"Adam?!" Chris yelled out breathlessly.

The beast closed his eyes and hovered down. Tears streamed down his red eyes as he looked at Chris shamefully.

"I couldn't save her..." The majestic beast sobbed.

Chris carressed the beast forehead. "It's not your fault, Adam..."

Then, in a flash of white fire, the beast turned back into Adam. Chris quickly embraced his little brother. Wyatt and Leo cried out in horror. Chris and Adam entered the kitchen. Wyatt was crying hard, and Leo kneeled beside his decapitated wife. Chris turned Adam away from the bloody scene. Adam never felt so hungry for revenge and guilty at the same time. But Adam was determined to avenge his mother's death...



"Master, why didn't you tell me Adam was a Firestarter?!" she demanded.

"What?!" exclaimed the Dark Wizard. "Impossible! All Firestarters are extinct! How is this possible?"

"Master, he also shapeshifted in a golden dragon that resembles a powerful griffin!" she added.

"This is no ordinary Firestarter," said the Dark Wizard. He let down his hood finally. His face was deformed and pale like a vampire's wrinkled skin. "This is a powerful Warlock with powers of the Dragon. Morgana, Adam is also vulnerable. Now is the time to corrupt him."

"Oh, it is not that simple," said Morgana. "I was almost burned by Adam's fire. I will not risk my onw life with out a proper plan."

"And which, I might add will be very wise," said the master. "He is vulnerable. But if he is trained by Cole Turner, he will surpress his emotion and control his powers full strength. Be wise but be quick!"

"Yes, master," said Morgana. "I know just the thing..."



She summoned a small pool into the cave. In it, she saw her reflection and then...Piper's...

[Master of Demon Slayer]

A Little Visit...

The funeral was similar to that of Prue's but it was much more different. It was a sadder tone.

Friends and family attended Piper's funeral. Divorcee Phoebe, Kyle, Paige, Jake, John, and Victor along with Piper's closests friends mourned for her. Cole also attended the funeral. Adam sat in the front of the opened casket. Cole sat next to his charge and gave his condolences. Adam was still teary. His mother may have been sewn up but that night he shall never forget. Piper was slaughtered like an animal.

"It was not your fault," Cole reminded him.

"It is..." said Adam. He didn't look at his angel. "My fault...she's dead. If I had these powers all along...then why wasn't I able to use them until now?"

Cole didn't answer him. Just as Adam was about to ask another question, Chris approached Adam and said, "Hey, wanna say a few words before, you know?"

Adam only nodded but he said, "I feel guilty looking at her."

Chris crouch down to Adam's height and said, "It's not your fault, bro. You gotta stop thinking like that, okay? It's not your fault."

"Chris is right, Adam," said Cole. "It was not your fault."

Adam nodded slightly. In his heart, he still felt guilty. He got up and walked up to the opened casket. He peered into it. Piper laid in their peacefully. The doctors fixed her up very well. No scar marks or any signs of physical damage.

"Mom, I'm so sorry..." he said tearfully. "I had all these powers. I couldn't save you. It's my fault. Please, come back..."

Leo put his hands on his son's shoulder. Adam pulled away and embraced his father. He said to Leo, "It's my fault! It's my fault."

"No, it's not," Leo assured him. "Stop blaming yourself, Adam. Piper's death was not caused by you. She's still alive in our hearts. As long as we continue to remember her, she will always be alive."

Adam could still see her pained expression before her body fell apart. Then, he saw himself turning into the golden winged beast with amazing powers. The Dark Witch retreated because of his powers. And these powers could've prevented her death. It didn't.


That lonely night, Adam slept on top of the bunk bed with Chris below, exhausted from the sadness and mourning. Adam slept uneasily. He kept seeing his mother's death repeatedly. He tried to keep silence but he mumbled indistinctly.

"Mom!" he called out softly. But, in his mind and dream, it was louder than a foghorn.

He saw Morgana raising her sword and Piper running towards him. Morgana swung her sword and slash through Piper. Her body immediately split in two and blood splattered over his face and clothes. Morgana laughed diabolically as she disappeared in heap of fire.

Then, Piper's body reconstituted. Her pale skin and yellow eyes struck fear and guilt. She raised her rotting hand at him and accused him, "You killed me, son..."

"No!" Adam yelled as loud as he could, denying his fault was the cause of her death. "Please, Mom! Forgive me!"

"Adam, you have this wonderful gift," said Piper. "There is still time to redeem yourself."

"How do I do this, Mom? Please, tell me," Adam kneeled and begged.

"You must avenge me, Adam," Piper told him. "You must fuse your heart with all the hatred and anger. With your powers finally controlled, you shall defeat Morgana! Promise me, Adam. Promise me!"

"I promise, Mom, I promise," Adam assured her.

"If you fail to succeed, I shall not rest for eternity..." Piper's body suddenly began to deterioate. "Hurry and control your powers...Avenge my death...!"

Her corpse was reduced to ashes. Adam cried out in horror as he returned to the real world. Chris woke up and bumped his head beneath the frame. Chris scrambled out and tended to his brother, who was crying horrifyingly. He embraced Adam, trying desperately to calm him down. Then, Leo and Wyatt orbed into the room to see what was wrong.

"Adam, what is it?" Leo asked his shaken son.

"Mom said that she won't rest until I vanquish Morgana!" Adam sobbed. "She won't forgive me until I do so!"

Chris looked at his father and Wyatt. They were confused but they were convinced that Piper would never tell Adam to avenge her death in hatred.


"Well?" asked the Dark Wizard. He casted a spell on himself and returned his old appearance into his younger self...[glow=red,10,000][/glow]. he was younger, but his eyes were full of malice and evil. "Have you succeeded?"

"Yes, master. You look better," she flattered him.

"Thank you," he chuckled proudly. "It is but a trick. Has Adam..."

"He shall try to kill me, but his rash decision will destroy him," said Morgana. "Then, he will be converted."

"Good..." laughed the Dark Wizard. He raised his hand and powerful surges of lightning crackled about his palm.[glow=navy,10,000][/glow]

"Adam will join us." the Dark Wizard said to himself. "He will have no choice. I have foreseen it."

[Master of Demon Slayer]

Soon to come: Adam's training with Cole is a complete failure. Also, Cole's secret is out. Phoebe comes to Cole for comfort. Who will be the next victim?

[Master of Demon Slayer]

Cole's Dirty Laundry...


"The boy is deeply conflicted, my master," reported Morgana. "A few more guilt trips, he will be very vulnerable and will be converted easily."

"I doubt it, Morgana," the Dark Wizard denied. "He's stronger than I thought. He will need more motivation. Kill another."

"He might tranform in the Golden Dragon--" The Dark Wizard cut her off.

"That will be his greatess weakness," he explained. "You see, his rage will blind his sights. Lure him into the Shadow Realm. Your powers are greater there and you will have no difficulty chaining him."

"I see," she nodded and understood. "This way, we can manipulate his anger and turn them towards destruction of the world. I like this plan..."

"Thank you," said the wizard, laughing darkly. "Can it be done, Morgana?"

"I will see to it personally," said Morgana. "He will not be able to stop me."



For the last three and a half months, after school, Cole trained Adam like he was training a soldier for a Revelation. Adam was persistant and angry. The anger blinded his movements and sword swings. Cole easily fended off Adam's flimsy parrying and slashs. Adam made the potential error. He stabbed with his blade, but Cole easily swerved to one side and knocked the sword out of Adam's hand. Adam frustratingly admitted defeat. Cole was not so happy about it.

"Your anger blinds you, Adam," Cole stated. "How will you face Morgana?"

"My hatred is what drives me right now, Cole!" Adam shouted. "My hate is stimulizing my motivation. It keeps me going!"

"Adam, hatred will only poison you," Cole lectured. "In the end it will destroy you. Piper wouldn't want this."

"How do you know what she wants?" Adam demanded. "You know nothing!"

"Piper is a good woman," said Cole. "That woman in your nightmare is not Piper. It was...Morgana."

"What? No, it can't be!" Adam shook his head in disbeilef. "Impossible!"

"I know Morgana, Adam," he said regretfully. "As well as I know you."

Adam looked confused but managed to piece the final fragments of the puzzle. "You were her Guardian Angel?"

"Yeah," Cole admitted. "Adam, shy don't you sit down?"

Adam and Cole sat on the stones of the fields. The fields were in the sky where clouds covered the world below.

"You and Deidra are very similar," he said. "I thought the two of you are brother and sister. Anyways, the Council sent me to guide her and keep her on the right path. For the last 18 years, I successfully trained her for the magical world. The only problem is that she fell in love with me."

"You're like old!" Adam remarked.

"Don't push it," COle warned him. Immediately after Adam apologized, he continued, "I straightdown told her that I was not in love with her. After that, she turned away from me, her family and anger swelled in her. My mistake was that I didn't go to her and give Deidra comfort. I was afraid that she might think of it as a gesture. The Council assigned me to another charge in Japan. After that, I was assigned to you."

"That's not the dirty laundry I was expecting," said Adam.

"I'm still in love with your Aunt Phoebe," said Cole.

"Oh, that--doesn't really complicate things," said Adam. "Hmm...I overheard her talking to Uncle Kyle and Aunt Paige about that. She admitted that she is still in love with you."

"I see," said Cole to himself. "No more training. "Let's take you home."

"Cole, do you think my Pyrokinesis is that strong?" asked Adam.

Cole just opened a cloud. A moving image showed a girl summoning fire and several jolts spat from her and struck her enemies, whether they are naked to the sun or hiding in the caves.


"Whoa!" Adam exclaimed.

[Master of Demon Slayer]

Soon to come: Pyrokinesis vs. Dark Lightning

[Master of Demon Slayer]

[glow=red,5,000]Showdown with Pyrokinesis[/glow]

Just after Leo lifted and pulled the blanket to Adam's neck and kissed his son goodnight, a thump on the first floor made him jump slightly. He has no powers but his paternal instinct told him to protect his sons.

He was a the blind sight of the stairs. He heard heavy breathing and dripping.

He tipped town downstairs for a closer, careful peek. To his horror, it was a demon. A mutated, raptor demon. He had long claws and razor teeth and nails. He had no eyes. It was blind. But its sensory systems doubled in capacity and ability.

The creature sniffed the air. It sensed someone was in the same room with it.

The demon slowly and cautiously with his three toe feet with blade-like nails. A voice soon followed.

"Well, dear demon." It was Morgana. She was clamping on the creature's chain. "Feast on Leo's flesh. Leave his boys to me."

She summoned Leo's rags and let the creature sniffed Leo's scent. The demon lefted his crest like head into the air and inhaled deeply. The air moved loose pages of books and leaves of the potted plants. Suddenly, he looked to the stairway and snarled!

Leo fell back with a loud thump. Morgana smiled as her demon barked and snarled vicisously, pulling against her.

"Leo, you cannot escape your fate!" Morgana shouted loudly.

Suddenly, two columns of orbs fell behind her and Leo's two older sons appeared. Instinctively, she released her demon and turned around with two feathered darts. She quickly flashed them both. Wyatt and Chris both dodged, but Chris was too slow and was struck in the hip. His legs, starting from the left, fell numb and cold. He was unable to move.

The creature, clumsy and stupid, crashed into the stair's rails and the wall as he climbed up the stairs.

"Chris! Are you all right?" Wyatt rushed to his brother's aid.

"I think so," Chris answered weakly. "Take care of Dad and Adam. Leave me!"

"Ha!" Morgana laughed. "Leave him and he will die, Wyatt. Oh, how much I always wanted to kill the two potential protectors of the innocents."

She raised her hands and light emitted from her fingertips. Wyatt shielded the weakened Chris when suddenly, there was a pained yelp and a loud tumble down the stairs. Her lights deceased and she looked behind her to see the demon tumbling down the stairs. It was dead, charred and burned.

"Impossible!" she cried.

Adam appeared in a flash of fire with his father, bewildered, behind him. "Dad, allow me to handle this..."

"So, little cousin learns to control his emotions and powers," she said. She raised her arms and hands and fired powerful surges of lightning from her fingertips.

Adam raised one hand and a flat screen of orange fire flashed before her eyes. The bolts didn't touch the fiery screen. It was as though a force field was repeling the attack.

"Congrads, cousin," she applauded reluctantly as Wyatt healed Chris. "Neither of you will escape my wrath!"

She emitted a powerful sphere of lightning of darkness. Adam's unblinking eyes scanned his brothers and his father, creating a shield of somesort around them as he gathered fire into one single ball.

"Adam, you will die!" Morgana streched her ball of lightning and fired bolts in all directions.

Adam calmly exhaled and stopped the lightning balls in midair. They turned into fireballs. He swung his arms forward and executed a stream of fire at her. The fireballs fused with the mighty stream and struck her hard that she flew out the window...



Morgana fell on her back but quickly rebounded. She saw another column of fire coming for her. She dodged but forgotten that the column divided itself into twenty flying balls of fire. They swarmed around her as she clumsily tried to fight them off. Her dark dress caught fire. She looked up at the manor and defeatingly shimmered away. The fireballs vanished...

Adam's eyes returned to his normal green-gray color. Leo picked him up and swung his son around joyously. Recovered Chris and Wyatt joined their celebration. The three were proud of Adam and his bravery. Though Leo scolded his son for jumping in the middle to fight off a powerful villian, he was happy nevertheless!

But, they knew Morgana would come back. They knew they have to be prepare...

[Master of Demon Slayer]

[glow=red,2,300]Final War[/glow]

Part One: The Guardian and his Charge...

"Pyrokinesis!" spat the Dark Wizard. "Ha! Adam is not strong enough to defeat me! He's just a boy!"

"But he is his mother's son, hot temper and powerful," Morgana growled.

She still didn't like the fact that Adam was able to defeat her like that. She's the Dark Witch of Talwar, not some chick who was pulled from Tartarus! How embaressing!

"Then, allow me to fight the boy," said the Dark Wizard. "He is no concern for you now."

"Master, what shall I do?" she asked. "I hate waiting."

"Take care of the rest of the Halliwells!" he told her. "Especially Adam's guardian..."

"It will be my pleasure," affirmed Deidra. She bowed and flamed out.

"Adam will be turned," said the Dark Wizard. With one wave of his hand, he disappeared in a dark flash.


Wyatt looked at his brother from the kitchen doorway, who was in the living room reading. He worried. As did Chris. No one was more worried than Leo. He lost his wife. He is certain not to lose any of his sons. They mean the world to him. All of them. Wyatt, Chris and Adam.

Just then, Cole appeared with Kyle orbing. After they materialized, Cole informed them with...bad news.

"Morgana is working for Elias," Cole informed them. "It's owed to Kyle."

Kyle shrugged proudly but briefly before his strict expression returned.

"He's a Dark Wizard," Cole added.

"Elias? Oh, my God!" Leo's voice shuddered.

Elias was one of the most evil being that every walked on Earth. His wife and her sisters caught him but they were unable to vanquish them. The Elders tried the wizard was sentenced to a eternity in Talwar. The Dark Wizard, Elias, swore revenge on Piper, the one who defeated him and all the Halliwells.

"Leo, Adam will stop him," Kyle said encouragingly. "He defeated Morgana, remember? I'm sure Adam will kick ass."

"Kyle, I'm not going to lose my son!" Leo said flatly. "I'm not letting him go through with this."

"I'm with my father on this one," said Wyatt, standing next to Leo. "I'm not going to let Adam do this alone."

"What?!" Leo exclaimed.

"Maybe the Power of Three will work this time." It was Chris. He just orbed in from Magic School. "I checked the library and uh, only the second Power of Three can vanquish this Wizard freak."

Again, Leo worried. "Wyatt, Chris--"

"Dad, we are the only ones who can stop him," Wyatt tried to convince his father. "Losing Mom...it's really tough for all of us, especially Adam. We are the only ones who can stop Elias."

"I have a feeling they're right," said Kyle. "Maybe they are the ones who can do this."

"Do what?" It was Adam. He just entered the kitchen.

"Uh...Vanquish the Dark Wizard," said Cole. "You, Wyatt and Chris."

"Oh!" he exhaled exasperatedly. "Good! I thought I have to face that freak all by me onesy..."

"You did watch the Pirates of the Carribeans recently, did you?" Chris teased.

"No," said Adam. "I watched it last week on HBO and Pay-Per-View."

"We don't have premium cable," Leo observed.

Adam looked a little cocky and sly and guilty. "We do now."

Suddenly, a blast of red lightning flashed before Leo's eyes. Adam raised his hands and a fire screen blocked the blast. Quickly, Kyle grabbed Leo's arm and orbed out. Cole pulled out his sabre, ready for an oncoming strike. Then, in a blink of an eye, Morgana appeared, but she did not attack.

"Hello, cousins, Mr. Turner," she cackled. She snapped her fingers and in a blind flash, Phoebe appeared in chains and muffed.

"Aunt Phoebe!" and "No!" simutaneously left the men's mouth.

"Now, my fight is with my former master," she said. "Adam, my master will fight you. Cole, if you so choose not to fight me, I will rip Phoebe's heart before your eyes."

"She's your mother!" Cole yelled, horrified.

"So? I'm the Dark Witch of Talwar!" Morgana replied. "Well, since you are unwilling to coo--"

"Wait!" Cole shouted. "I will fight you."

"Good!" chuckled the Dark Witch. She drew her dagger and stabbed Phoebe. But before the blade struck her flesh, Adam had already snatched Phoebe away from her. She became angry. "Hmph! If you don't show up, I will murder all the Halliwell line. That goes for you two, Adam Halliwell!"

[Master of Demon Slayer]

My eyes are hurting right now and it's hard to stare into the screen or do any writing. I'll get some shut eye and come back as soon as I can.

[Master of Demon Slayer]

I'll post the conclusion by the end of the week.

[Master of Demon Slayer]

[glow=red,2,300]Final War[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Part 2[/glow]

Cole drew his sword and vanished in the shadows. He appeared in the deep caves of the underworld. He sensed an evil prescence surrounding him. It was young, but filled with utter hate.

"Deidra..." Cole mumbled to himself.

Foosh!

A fire danced behind him. The blaze died out and unveiled its host.

"Wrong, Cole," said the witch. "I am Morgana."

"So it comes to this," said Cole. "You killed my charge's mother who happens to be my friend. You almost murdered your mother. How do you justify yourself?"

"Ha! I don't have to explain myself, goody-two shoes!" Morgana yelled. She unsheathed her sword and pointed the blade at his face. "You've entered the world of hurt, pain and death."

"I'm already dead," Cole corrected her. He rasied his sword, prepare to defend himself. "Morgana, come back to the light."

"Bulls***!" she cursed and spit on the ground. "I am evil because I chose to be evil. I hated the light! Now, I can kill one of its warriors!"

The two fought each other in blazing speed. The light versus the dark. Winner take all.


Adam was all alone. Wyatt and Chris were back at the manor, protecting Leo and Phoebe. He was all alone. But that won't stop him. He has the power of fire. Who can stand against his fiery might?

"So now, the greatest of the light is now facing the dark."

It was the dark wizard, tall, young and twisted evil.

"But you are not a Charmed One yet," remarked the wizard.

"You must be the one who turned my cousin against us," Adam replied.

"This duel is futile," the Dark Wizard stated. "Why don't you give yourself to the dark side. I mean, there is no sense of have missing limbs."

Adam ignited a ball of fire in his palm behind his back. The Dark Wizard was not able to percieve it.

"Well, on one condition," said Adam, trying to fake it. "Only if you leave and never return."

The Dark Wizard bursted out laughing jokingly. Distracted by Adam's ridiculous offer, Adam reached out his arm and poured intense stream of blazing energy on the wizard. The stream surrounded and engulfed the wizard, burning him alive. Adam smiled confidently until...

"Not bad, but a little off target," said the wizard.

He leapt out of the twisting fire and stretched his fingers. Powerful purple lightning speared from his fingertips at Adam. The boy put up his hands and held off the lightning storm coming at him. He struggled to stand on his own two legs.

"Foolish boy," spat the wizard. "I am supreme! I defeated the last three Source ten thousand years ago before I was imprisoned in Talwar. I will be supreme once more when you and your family are ridded from my sight!"

"Ain't gonna be easy!" Adam concentrated his inner strength and easily reflected the lightning bolts back at the wizard.

The bolts hit him square in the chest and he was sent flying against the wall. The outpour of the lightning stopped and the face of the wizard was revealed. It was fleshy skull with yellow eyes.

Adam made a sound of disgust after laying his eyes of the disgusting thing.

"Yes, after ten thousand years, this is how I truly look like!" the Dark Wizard yelled as his ignited a ball of lightning. "My hatred turned me into the monster I really am."

"Then, allow me to end your suffering," Adam said. He held out his hands and fire ignited around the wizard.

The wizard laughed dryly. "Fool. You're not strong enough to stop me. The Elders and the Source were unable to kill me. What makes you think that you are the one?!"

"I have the power?" Adam answered sheepishly as he withdrew his fire.


Cole effortlessly defend himself from her sword's parrying and stabs, on purpose. He believed that Deidra would not kill him. She still had good in her. He knows. He should.

Deidra...is his daughter.

He never told her. He should've though. He made a mistake with her and tried to make that up with Adam. The guilt still lingered.

"I hate you, Cole!" shouted the Dark Witch. "I hate you! You were my Guardian. I endlessly begged for your help!"

Their swords interlocked but Morgana pushed him away from her.

"You only answered in riddles," she continued. "You never gave me a straight answer! You failed me. Just like you failed Adam. Yes, Adam will turn to the side of evil as I have. Then, only then will we have the powers we need to rid the world of all humans and good!"

"Wrong," Cole stated. "I have not failed Adam. I turned him to the right path. But, it is true that I failed you. I'm sorry, Deidra. I'm not the father I should have been to you."

Deidra's dropped slightly. Her eyes were flaring with hatred and confusion. Only one word left her mind and mouth: "What?" It was barely a whisper.

"Just before I became a Guardian," Cole explained. "Your mother and I were married, again. But the gods made me a Guardian and I have to divorced because of the law."

"What?!" Her voice was more furious, but filled with sadness.

"Deidra, I'm sorry," he repeated. "If I could take back what I did to you and your mother, it is that, the Guardianship. You have every right to hate me, Deidra. You have every right to kill me. But do not take your hate out on your cousins, your aunts, your uncles or your mother. They have nothing to do with me hurting you."

Deidra shook her head in disbelief. "You're lying!" Tears poured out from her eyes as she charged with her sword head on.

"You will..." Cole whispered.

Just as soon as she stabbed his chest, Cole dropped his sword and let her blade pierce through his heart. Deidra stopped abruptly. She just realized that her victim was unarmed. She horrorfyingly pulled herself away from Cole and her sword.

"Why didn't you defend yourself?" she demanded.

"Because, I refuse to fight my daughter," Cole was on his knees, answering in the meekest of tones. He was dying.

"No, Dad, don't die!" Morgana begged him. She came to his side and supported his head. "Oh, God! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean! I just-- I just-- Please, hold on! We'll get help. We're gonna be together. You, Mom and me."

"I don't think so," Cole said affirmitively. His eyes echoed a darken state. "You take care of your mother for me, all right?"

"No!" Her dark hair and red eyes turned to light brown and green. She became Deidra again. "I have a gift! I'm going to bring you back! You will not die on my time, Dad!"

She pulled out her sword from her dying father. He screamed in pain as the blade was wrenched out of his heart. she placed her hands on his chest and transfer her chi into the wound.

"Hold on, Dad," she begged. "I'm here. You're gonna be all right."



Adam struggled with the mighty Dark Wizard. He regretted facing his nemesis. He should've listened to his brothers.

Adam was thrown against the rough wall while being eletrocuted.

"Your feeble pyrokinesis is no match for my Dark Lightning!" he boasted.

Lightning stopped pouring. Adam dropped on the hard ground but he got up, ready to fight again.

"You're only a boy, not even a teenager," stated the wizard. The powers seemed to wasted away his flesh. "Do you have the powers to stop me?"

"No, but we can," said Adam.

"We?" the wizard was confused.

Two columns of orbs swirled behind Adam. Wyatt and Chris appeared. They were worried about their brother, but they were adamant to stop the Dark Wizard.

"What is this?" scoffed the Dark Wizard.

"The Power of Three," the boys chanted in unison. "Wizard of the old and ancient time, vanquish in flames this old enemy of mine. Forever his soul is lock away, never again the wizard see the light of day!"

They waited but nothing happened.

"Wyatt, are you sure you got the right description of this here demon?" Chris muttered through gritted teeth.

"We were looking through Adam's eyes," Wyatt replied.

"Oh, boy!" Adam exclaimed.

[Master of Demon Slayer]

[glow=red,2,300]All's Well That Ends Well[/glow]

The Dark Wizard remained frozen and fixated.

"I'll check it out," Wyatt volunteered. "Stay with Adam."

Wyatt approached their frozen enemy. He circled around the enemy once. The wizard made no movement. Wyatt waved hs hand before the enemy's eyes. He did not respond. Wyatt tapped the Wizard's shoulder. The wizard shattered and turned into ashes.

"Well, I guess the spell worked!" Chris observed.

"Come on, let'sget out of here," Adam replied. "I hate hell!"

"Hey, no bad mouthing!" scolded Wyatt.

The three orbed and materialized in the different section of the underworld where Cole and Morgana fought. They were surprised and shocked to see Cole and Morgana hugging.

"Uh...Cole? Um...isn't she--?" Adam began to speak.

"Not anymore," Cole replied. "My daughter and I have some catching up to do."

"Hey, Adam, I'm sorry for what I've done to you and your family," she apologized. "I know you may not--"

"Morgana killed my Mom," said Adam. "It wasn't Deidra."

"Oh, Adam, how is it--?"

"Let's just say your father taught me a lot," said Adam.

"Shall we?" Cole and Deidra disappeared.

Wyatt, Chris and Adam orbed out and returned to the manor. Leo hugged his three sons, happy that they are safe and sound.

So...

Phoebe and Cole remarried. They spent the rest of their lives in Boston.

Paige and Kyle moved back to San Francisco. She taught her sons how to be Whitelighters and Kyle taught Wyatt and Chris.

Leo...well, let's just say he and Adam are closer than ever.

The Power of Three? Well, evil can never be killed. As long as they exist, good will always be there to fight them!

[AngelBoy]

That was a good story
