::Three men run down the long dark allfyway into a dead end::They look around in panic, panting:: Vax:Turns looking at his brother: There's no way out! Jax:We can see little bro, look we need to come up with a plan! Axe:We could just teleport out--we need help, they're too strong for us. Jax:No! We didn't come this far just to chicken out, we were given these abilities...so lets use our magic and fight them! ::Three men walk into the dead end only standing 10 feet ahead of the three brothers:: ::A man then pushes two of the men aside walking in the front: Jax:Thrax... Thrax:Hello Jax, Axe, Vax... Axe:What the hell do you want? Why have you been following us? Trying to kill us? We never did anything to you! Thrax:Simple Axe...you hold something that I want, don't you see? Thrax:You three are the Musketeers, you three hold incredible powers that I want, that I need, that I will kill you for. Vax:We don't hold incredible powers, the Charmed Ones do. Thrax:Charmed Ones? Oh yes the Charmed Ones...I don't really care for there powers--yet. Vax:Yea you do, get them, take them, you don't want us, we can't predict the future, they're powers are tasty and have a minty flavor. Axe:Nudges Vax: Jax:Holds his dagger out pointing towards Thrax: Thrax:What are you going to do with that? Cut me? Jax:Asalamor! ::Electricity flies out hitting Thrax:: Thrax:Screams in agony and falls to his knees:: Thrax:Looks up seeing then teleport away:Get them...now! ::The three men shimmer away:: Pace:Ok, Rachel...then you put a dash of Dill into the pot. Rachel: Dash...of Dill...uh... ::She takes a small dose of powder from a jar and steps back, throwing it into the pot:: Pace:Ok, Rachel...we aren't making a vanquishing potion, you don't need to step back after every herb you throw in ya know. Rachel: If you say so... ::She looks up, still worried:: Pace:Alright, now take the Dried Prune Skin and throw it into the pot. Rachel: ::Picks up some of the skin with her left hand and tosses it in:: Good yet? Pace:Now, this is the last ingredient... Pace:Take the slug and place it in the pot, don't throw it in! Just place it in. Rachel: S-slug? I have to? Hope it doesn't get on this tan shirt... ::She hesitates, looking at the slug in the plastic bag:: Pace:Just do it...come on, you're a wife of a Witch who does this everyday. Pace:If you want me to teach you how to become a mortal Witch you have to take certain risk, in order to do that just take the pitch and throw it at the dugout ditch... Pace:I'm a poet and I don't know it... ::Smiles:: Rachel: ::She looks upwards to him, squinting:: Fine. ::She looks down and takes the baggy; gradually letting the slog come out of the bag, then sink into the pot:: Pace:Now take the wooden spoon and mix it around and around about ten times. Rachel: ::Picks up the spoon; counting while she stirs:: Pace:After that, pour it into the vile and you have your own bath potion. Pace:Well...you take a bath, pour the liquid in and then your skin becomes very smooth, your skin doesn't age for like a month or two... Rachel: That's what this is? Who would use that, knowing a slug is in there? ::She takes a vile and a baster and sucks the liquid from the pot, placing it into the vile:: Rachel: ::She puts the utensils down, corking the vile; then pushing her short brown hair behind her shoulders:: Pace:The slug is a magical slug. Elves use it, fairies use it. You can't just use ordinary slugs. Rachel: Really, because it looked like a big fat ground slug to me. Sure someone didn't switch them? ::She smiles, placing her arms on her hips:: Pace:I'm sure, it was hard getting that thing. Rachel: Okay Boss, so what's next? Pace:Anyway, you have potion quiz later today... Pace:Did you study? Rachel: A quiz? Great...yes I studied ::She nods:: ...I just haven't taken a quiz since College. Pace:Alright, you also have power training today. Pace:Just don't tell Pierce or Price, ok? Rachel: Okay I won't, but I need to get some groceries; you guys don't know how to live healthy. And this place really needs some flare. Rachel: It really needs a woman's touch, it's so bland. Pace:I know a spell for a woman's touch. Pace:But hey! We're guys we don't need a woman's touch. Rachel: ::She begins to pour more of the potion into the viles; corking them:: A spell doesn't have a woman's touch, because a man is commanding the spell. Pace:No, you'll say the spell. Rachel: You're so silly Pace, spells can't fix things in the real world. Whatever happened to no personal gain? It always backfires or comes full circle on you, hitting you in the rear. Pace:Walks over grabbing a notepad and pen and walks to the island: Pace:Did the spell that I place on your room backfire? No... Pace:Begins to write: Rachel: Pace, how would I use the spell? The Book won't even let me touch it for some reason, Pierce said he'd figure out why but he keeps forgetting. Pace:I'll hold your hand--I know you aren't evil. Rachel: Great...just dandy ::She leans over the island, looking at what he writes:: Pace:Alright... ::Holds the pad up and begins to read:: A gentle touch, is all I bring, to place this castle with a bling, In light and glaze, I conjure with thee, this house shall be as castle from a touch from me. Pace:How you like it? Rachel: It's nice, you sure you're a man? ::She smiles friendly, winking her eye:: Pace:Squints eyes: Pace:Stands besides her:Recite the spell Pace:Takes her hand: Pace:After you say it touch the wall. Rachel: ::She holds up the pad with her left hand, brushing her hair back:: A gentle touch is all I bring to place this castle with a bling. ::She looks over to Pace, then back to the pad:: In light and glaze I conjure with thee, this house shall be as castle from a touch from me. Rachel: ::She places the pad down and walks to the wall, touching it with her hand:: Rachel: ::She stares at the wall, looking to see if it'll work:: Rachel: ::She looks around, seeing the walls shine in flickering lights; revealing the Manor to become cleaner:: Pace:Looks at her: Pace:See, a little magic here and there won't do no harm. Pace:You ever try sex while levitating? Rachel: I...still need to get groceries... Rachel: What is with you boys and sex? A few days ago I was putting in flowers in my room, and in comes Pierce acting totally differently like he was someone else...I mean I'm not complaining but it seems that only Price hasn't come on to me. Pace:You answered your own question...we're boys. Hey maybe he morphed into Pierce that day he was evil and gave you the Price Master-- Rachel: No... ::She begins to look away, quickly looking back:: No! ...right? I mean come on...even if he was evil... Rachel: ...You don't think...do you? Pace:Ew--No...he wouldn't...would he? Pace:He was possessed...he wouldn't... Rachel: He wouldn't...lets...just think about it like that... ::She begins to walk towards the stairway, thinking about her being pregnant and not telling Price or Pace:: Pace:If he did it wasn't his fault...your married...to his brother...oh God-- Pace:Rachel-- Rachel: Pace! Lets just say no, okay? Rachel: I mean either way if he did morph it means that every fiber of him was Pierce, so either way it doesn't matter. I'm gonna go change-- ::She proceeds up the stairs:: Pace:Turns around looking at the fridge:No--he wouldn't...ew evil ew. Pace:Walks out of the kitchen, through the living room into the sun room::Sees their dagger on the floor and picks it up:: Rachel: ::She walks up the stairs and down the hall, into her bedroom, staring at the bed:: No... ::She shrugs and closes the door:: Pace:Gasps::Starts to levitate in the air::The wind blows the sun room doors open as things go flying:: Pace:Levitates down::The wind stops::He opens his eyes:: Rachel: ::She quickly comes down the stairs, pulling her blue shirt downwards:: Pace? Pace:Walks back through the living room and to Rachel:Yea? Rachel: What was that? Pace:I just had a premonition... Rachel: That caused something to break? Pace:My premonitions sorta tap into my levitation and telepathy...sometimes when I get prems my telepathy becomes active enough to break things--very complicated. Pace:My premonitions are like taking over my powers these days. Anyway I got a prem with three young men, about my age and my brothers. I think they're in trouble. Rachel: ...Whatever you say, Pace. I'll be back in about an hour ::Walks down and grabs her purse, looking back to him:: Do I get to go on a cool mission-thing? Pace:You and me? Rachel: Yeah! It'll be fun! Pace:Lets go! I got dibs for the driver seat! ::Runs grabbing the car keys and to the door opening it running out to the jeep:: Rachel: ::Follows, closing the door, locking it:: Don't ruin my car now... ::Quickly follows after him:: Price:Walks through the hallways:: Price:Walks to a door opening it walking inside closing it: Price:Looks around seeing people hard at work: Price:Walks over to where Phoebe's old office used to be and looks inside: Price:Sees a young woman there and looks at the name plate:Jenny Ritchells...hmm... ::Walks away:: Price:Walks to where Jason's office used to be and opens it: Price:Looks seeing an old man sitting there:Whoa--Who are you? Jason: ::He looks up from typing:: I own this place... ::He moves his glasses back up, squinting as if he knows the man standing at her door:: Price:No you don't... Price:My brothers and I do, actually. Jason: ::He stands up:: Pierce? Price: No, I'm Price, Pierce's older brother. Jason: Pierce didn't have an older brother. Price:No, I was kidnapped and lost when I was three... Jason: ::He walks over to him:: I haven't seen your brothers for too long... Price:Ok, old man back off, who are you? Jason: I remember back when you were a little baby...I'm your Uncle Jason, where's your memory gone? Price:My Uncle Jason is dead, the last time I remembered. Jason: Your Uncle Jason just couldn't keep up...since your aunt died...you know your aunt Phoebe and I were only married for a short time before she passed on... Price:Do you know about my family? Of course you do you married a Witch... Jason: ::He looks at him, confused:: Phoebe wasn't a Witch, if anything she was like an angel... Price:Huh? Price:Wait, she didn't tell you? Jason: She always did good things for people ::He turns around, taking out his wallet, searching through it:: Tell me what? Jason: ::He takes out a small piece of paper, putting his wallet down, handing him the folded picture:: Price:This is? Jason: That's your Aunt. Price:I know what she looks like... ::Takes it opening it:: Price:Looks at it then looks up at him:She never told you about us being Witches? About us having a magical destiny? Her being one third of the Charmed Ones? Pierce, Pace, and I are the new generation you know... Jason: ::He looks up at him very confused, putting his picture back and his wallet back:: Charmed Ones--wha? I'm afraid I lost you...I'm not as good as hearing as I used to be... Price:Alright...His mind is great, in time has passed, let this old man remember his past. ::Lights float around his head then fade away: Price:Alright, Uncle J, what was the last thing Aunt Phoebe said to you? Price:Anything about us being Witches? Magic? Powers? Demons? You know anything supernatural? Jason: I was in another country...I don't remember where --when it all happened. She had told me "Come back in one piece, I'll be waiting for you..." Jason: No...nothing like that, just that she always had family emergencies... Price:Yea, I guess we inherited the family emergencies...well I came here to tell you that I'm selling the company...to my company, we're making Bay Mirror, Studio 69's second home. Jason: What? Selling? Why? Oh...okay...as long as you stay well to the company...this paper has run well so many years...after your Aunt died we had such a hard time...just keep the paper well... Jason: I'll have to come by and visit sometime? Price:You do that... Price:Umm...but you have a few good four months to rap everything up. Price:Do me a favor and send forms around telling them about the idea? Jason: You said earlier that you owned the company ::He smiles, patting him on the back:: I'll be retiring...Talk to the Head Editor ::He walks out of the room, down the hallway:: Price:The first floor will be main lobby as always, second floor will be my brothers restaurant Rainy Days, third to 7th floor will be Studio 69's home and the 8th and 9th floor will be an acting/modeling floor. Price:Wait, no! I don't own the company, I own the building, I think the company too...you know what I mean. And you can't retire, where do you even live? :Walks up to him: Jason: I live by the shore...small house, nothing much for me in life. With you and your brothers taking over the company you'll get your share of the money. Price:Oh--come by the Manor one day, we still live there, always will... Jason: I'll have to replace your name with Pr...what was his name? Well the other child... ::He presses the elevator button:: I'll visit...sometime... ::The doors open:: Jason: ::Walks in:: Talk to the Head Editor ::The doors begin to close:: Price:Let the spell erase from ones mind and let him remember all the good times... ::A blue sphere of light flies into Jason:: ::The doors close:: Price:Smiles and walks away:: Pierce: ::Walks down the hallway, opening a back door into a busy lobby; holding his cell phone against his ear:: Okay Price, I'll be sure to tell everyone, and yes I have a plan just in case... ::He hangs up:: Pierce: ::Walks down a long hallway, then into an elevator:: ::The doors open:: Pierce: ::Walks in, pressing the top floor, humming:: ::The doors close and open on another floor:: Pierce: ::Walks out, walking down another hallway, walking to two large doors:: Pierce: ::Looks over, seeing no secretary at the desk by the doors. He breathes in, making sure he looks presentable; then opens both doors, walking in:: Brent: ::Looks up, sitting at a large tidy desk:: Oh Pierce, how nice to see you, what can I do for ya, bud? Pierce: Well "Bud", since Rainy Days finished expanding, My brother and I decided Rainy Days is going to open up in the building under The Bay Mirror. Brent: What? No, I won't let you, Mr. Rodriguez and I had big plans! Pierce: It wasn't your place to make plans! You just host my restaurant! Brent: Actually since you had to come to me for some money to start Rainy Days I also co-own it. You're not moving anywhere, I have big pl-- Pierce: It was your father I went to, not you. Brent: I inherited it all after his death. Pierce: I didn't think you'd go so low, but I can counter it ::He smiles:: Brent: Really? Pierce: ::He takes out a small vile from his pocket and uncorks it, tossing it forward, making the liquid splash into Brent's face:: Brent: Ah! ...Uhh... ::He slowly leans downwards, unconscious:: Pierce: Perfect... ::He looks around, looking over, opening a door, seeing a roomy closet:: Pierce: Only for a few minutes...though this isn't my time of pride, ::He looks to Brent, moving his hand to the closet, making Brent float over, lying down in the closet:: Pierce: ::He looks to Brent and morphs into him, their clothes exactly alike:: And everything else ::He takes off his cell phone and puts it into his pocket, searching Brent's pockets, taking his keys and wallet:: Brent (Pierce): ::He then closes the door and walks to the front doors and leaves the room, locking the door behind him:: Brent (Pierce): ::He looks over to Brent's secretary, now sitting at her desk:: Hey babe, do me a favor? Send out a memo saying that Rainy Days will be starting up in The Bay Mirror's building...I'll give you the address later, and have Mr. Rodriguez come to my office, pronto. Secretary: Sure thing Boss, he's waiting for you, you have a meeting, remember? Brent (Pierce): I do? My memory must be slipping, what are we going to be discussing? Secretary: Your plans for the new Rainy Days on the shore. The whole place is booming, "Once I get Pierce Halliwell out of the way I can have it all" you had said. Remember? How come you decided to change your mind? Brent (Pierce): Nevermind that, it wasn't a good idea...at least not yet. When is the appointment? Secretary: A few minutes, actually, your office...you must be having a really bad memory block. Brent (Pierce): Oh...don't worry, I'll shake it off ::He smiles, seeing her nameplate:: Thanks Melinda. ::He turns around and reenters the office:: Brent (Pierce): ::Walks into the office, closing the door:: Brent (Pierce): ::He demorphs as he walks to the closet, grabbing the handle:: ::The office door opens:: Pierce: ::Turns around, instantly morphing back into Brent:: Man: ::Walks in:: Hey Brent, how are things going? Brent (Pierce): Ever heard of knocking, "bud?" Man: ::Morphs into Mr. Rodriguez:: Surprised? I just stole this power from a Demon a few hours ago-- Brent (Pierce): Really... ::The phone rings:: I've gotta take that ::He walks over, picking up the phone:: ...This is Brent? ::He listens to the person on the phone:: Sure sure, okay ::He hangs up, pressing a button on the side of the phone, pretending for it to be on Hold:: I've gotta take this...can you wait outside a little bit? Mr. Rodriquez: Sure, just don't take long. You've gotta watch your Secretary, as soon as I came from the elevator she left towards the lounge. ::He turns around, morphing back to the man he was before; leaving:: Brent (Pierce): ::He sighs and walks forward, locking the door; then walks towards the closet, seeing the reflection of a handsome man in the mirror on the door:: No wonder you always get what you want... Brent (Pierce): ::He opens the door and walks inside, kneeling beside Brent:: Tell me what I need to be told, reveal what this man needs to unfold. With my magic to my protection, tell me what is underneath this detection. ::He feels funny and suddenly falls forward, phasing into Brent's body:: Brent/Pierce: ::He opens his eyes, looking forward to a ceiling:: Whoa... ::He stands up quickly and looks around, suddenly falling against the wall as thoughts flood into his brain:: Ahhh... Mr. Rodriquez: ::Knocks on the door:: Done with the phone call yet? It's been 5 minutes now... Brent/Pierce: ::Looks to the mirror, seeing himself as Brent:: Uh...Yeah hang on ::He looks up, understanding:: Whoa...I'm...in...Brent's body...that spell definitely screwed up... ::He walks to the door, unlocking it and opening it:: Sorry that took so long... Mr. Rodriquez: That's okay, so what's the progress of Pierce Halliwell? If you want the restaurant you got to have him out of the picture. Brent/Pierce: I'm still figuring it out, I just don't see why he needs to die-- ::His eyes widen as the words come from his mouth without his command:: Mr. Rodriquez: Look, you decided to make a deal with evil, now you have to do your part of the deal. You want the restaurant, he gets killed. Brent/Pierce: If you say so...but -he wants to start up a new Restaurant in another location...I told him yes...don't know why though. Mr. Rodriquez: Must be magic... Brent/Pierce: ::He sighs:: Mr. Rodriquez: Look, just...get rid of him and you can have the restaurant where it is now. Brent/Pierce: Fine... Mr. Rodriquez: ::He morphs into the man he was before, walking towards the door:: Brent/Pierce: ::He blinks his eyes a little, suddenly feeling strange:: Brent/Pierce: ::He begins to glow, falling forward:: ::Brent falls forward, hitting the floor; leaving Pierce standing:: Mr. Rodriquez: ::He turns around, seeing two Brents:: A Trap! Pierce: Too bad for you! ::He demorphs, swinging his hand, sending Mr. Rodriquez into a sharp abstract work of sculpture, making him explode:: Pierce: ::He sighs, looking down to Brent:: You dumb little man, didn't even know what you were getting yourself into, did ya? ::He rolls his eyes:: Pace:Walks down the alleyway with Rachel:Ok, my premonition's setting was right here. Rachel: ::Follows him, looking around:: Maybe if no one went down these alleys they wouldn't be in so much trouble ::Searches around:: What are we looking for? Pace:A clue. Pace:Walks further down into the dead end:Alright, so either they died here or they managed to get away. Rachel: ::Follows him, searching:: See any dents or things? Pace:Nope... Pace:Closes his eyes and stands still:: Rachel: ::Looks over to him, then she turns back to searching:: Pace:Opens his eyes:7 men. Pace:Three young men about in their early thirties, three other men must of been Demons, they were wearing black with a symbol on their head and one older man standing in front of the three Demon men. Pace:Alright, we got our clues. Rachel: Now what? Pace:We go back--::Sees three Demons shimmer behind Rachel::Rachel! Demon (1):Throws Rachel into the wall: Rachel: ::She turns around, flying backwards into the wall:: Pace:Glares at them: Rachel: ::She hits a mattress besides the wall, looking up:: Ouch... Demon (3):Throws an energy ball at Pace:: Pace:Stares at it as it blows up: Rachel: ::She pushes herself forward and stands up:: Demon (2):Shimmers away: Demon (3)::Throws a dagger at Pace: Pace:Levitates up in the air: ::The dagger hits the dumpster::The dumpster then blows up:: Pace:Levitates back down:: Demon (2):Shimmers besides Rachel grabbing her:: Demon (1):Surrender Witch or she dies! Pace:Looks at the Demons then at Rachel:What the hell do you want?! Rachel: Die what? ::She bends forward and rolls over, forcing the Demon to fly forward, hitting the cement:: Rachel: ::She stands up and runs beside Pace, out of breath:: Demon (2):Hits the ground and stands up:: Pace:Looks over at her:Ok, that was good, but next time do something more, you know hurtful... Demon (3):We want the Musketeers! Pace:Go to the store and buy it for sixty-five cents! Rachel: ::She tilts her head, looking to Pace:: Smooth. ::She looks back to the Demon:: We don't know where they are or who they are for that matter! Demon (1):We will be back, count on it WITCH! ::The three shimmer away:: Pace:Oh--Book Of Shadows now... Rachel: Come on ::She readjusts the strap on her purse and runs with him out of the alleyway:: Price:Walks into his office to his desk chair: Price:Sits down: Price:Starts reading/signing contracts: Price:Puts the pen down, closing his eyes and then throws his head back:: Price:Rubs his throat then opens his eyes looking forward seeing three young men::Cocks an eyebrow:Who are you? Price:And how did you--let me make it easier for you and get out...NOW! Vax:We can't, we need your help, you're our only hope. Jax:Look, we should of introduced ourselves. I am Jax, these are my brothers Axe and Vax, we are the Musketeers. Price:As in the Three Musketeers? Jax:Nods smiling:We need your help, a powerful Demon named Thrax is hunting us, trying to kill us for our powers which are extremely powerful. Price:And you came to me thinking? What? I'm your savior? Jax:No, I came to you thinking you are one third of the Charmed Ones. Axe:Look, we wouldn't come to you if we couldn't handle this. Price:Umm and you are? Axe:I'm Axe. Price:what's with the X in the names? Axe, Jax, Vax, Thrax...anyway, we can't help you. Vax:Yes you can, and you will. Price:Alright...how about this, come to me when I'm not in a crisis with my life. Jax:You are a Charmed One, your duty is to protect the innocent. Price:You guys aren't innocents. You have powers and until my brother gets a premonition saying that we need to save you, then ok, I'll call you, until then, musket your way out of my office. Jax:But-- Price:Ciao... Axe:Looks to his brothers then teleport away: Pierce: ::Knocks on the door:: Price? ::He looks around the hallway:: Price:What?! ::Looks up::Oh-hey... Pierce: ::He opens the door, walking in, closing it behind him:: Hey Bro, guess what I had to do today? It wasn't pleasant at all... Price:Alright, tell me later--ok? Pierce: Well I got to Brent, he said he didn't want Rainy Days to move, so I knocked him out with a potion and morphed into him. But it turns our Mr. Rodriguez was actually a Demon--Why? Price:Looks over back at the papers:: Pierce: Long story short my spell backfired, I possessed Brent, Vanquished Mr. Rodriguez, and now Brent doesn't have to kill me, and only I win. And Brent doesn't remember a thing, he thinks Mr. Rodriguez just called it all off. He's relieved like he's been given another chance at life. ::He smiles:: Price:Because I'm really busy. I have to sign all these papers and contracts just to own Bay Mirror fully, I also have to move people over to Bay Mirror, get started on reopening P3, then I have to get Rainy Days beneath the Bay Mirror, I have to fire people from Bay Mirror and open the new Magazine P.O.3. Mag to Bay Mirror, very confusing and hard work...something you should know about. Price:My desk is like stacked with contracts! I hate owning a magazine company... Pierce: How about this? Leave P3 alone, that's Pace's thing. Don't fire anyone, just change their job or demote them to a lower job. Pierce: And you could always get second help you know. Didn't you say Uncle Jason could help you? But that he was retiring? Price:I don't know about Uncle Jason, I invited him to the Manor, he's going to come over one day. Pierce: Well he was a millionaire or something... Pierce: I've gotta go and finish things up at work, I'll see you at home, okay? Price:Wait-- Pierce: Yeah? Price:Umm...before you came in, three guys were here, said they were the Musketeers...I don't know, I'll call Pace and tell him to look up on it. Pierce: Whatever you say ::He disappears in light:: Price:PIERCE COME BACK! Pierce: ::Reappears in lights, loosing his balance, falling down; getting back up:: Don't do that... Pierce: It's not easy to come back like that. Price:Sorry... Price:You know that I love you, right? Pierce: ::He folds his arms against his chest:: Not this again-- ::He rolls his eyes, speaking blandly:: Yes I know you love me. Are you worried about us or something? We should call you Mr. Mom. Price:I'm just making sure that you know how I feel...you're my brother...and you should. Price:Now get to work. :Looks back down reading papers: Pierce: ::He nods, disappearing in lights:: Pace:Walks into the attic:Rachel, keep up! Pace:Walks over to the book waving his hand::Watches as the book flies opening and starts flipping pages:: Rachel: ::Runs into the attic, holding a large box:: Shut up Pace, I'm not here to be your servant. Rachel: ::She walks towards him, setting the box down on the small table:: Pace:You're not, you just need to be quick. Rachel: Some Gentleman you are, making me carry that heavy box. Pace:It's not that heavy...come on, you're a wife of a Charmed One. Rachel: Exactly, I'm a wife, not a Charmed One. Rachel: I know you all pride yourselves in having handsome muscles but unlike you all, I don't want to be all big with muscles. Pace:Your baby will be a Charmed One. Rachel: ...You...knew I was pregnant? Pace:Yea... Pace:I have Empathy... Pace:I'm an empath::Smiles pointing to himself:: Rachel: Well then you should know what I'm feeling right now ::Squints:: Rachel: Just because you have empathy doesn't mean you can give it away. Pace:I'm the only one who knows, besides Pierce. Rachel: Yeah, well Price is slow enough, at least I can tell him when I'm ready. Pace:He's not slow, he's just busy, has no time to worry about little problems, anyway. Pace:Get the stuff prepared. Pace:Looks down:The Three Musketeers...isn't that a fable? Rachel: ::She rolls her eyes, walking to the box, kneeling down and preparing the potions and items:: Yes... ::She hums as she takes out viles and things from the box:: Pace:The Three Musketeers are three powerful brothers. Unlike the Charmed Ones, these brothers don't separate for normal lives. They are equal as one. The Three Musketeers are from the line of the first three. Known as The Brothers. Rachel: Hey at least you guys get action and romance, besides you're much better than they are if all they do is act together all the time. ::She prepares and stirs:: Pace:The Brothers consisted of Joxer, Micolif, and Astrolaf. Born with incredible powers The Brothers passed down their powers through the three daggers of Naxtorus. Pace:If a Musketeer died during battle the other three were to find another to take their brothers place. The daggers consist of fire, electricity, and Mystical powers. The Three Musketeers are known for saving the innocent like the Charmed Ones, give to the poor and the needy. Pace:Alright, weird. Pace:Here's a picture of Joxer, Micolif, and Astrolaf. And the guys I saw in my premonition looked exactly the same. You think every generation they are reborn again? Rachel: Maybe ::She brushes her hair behind her shoulders and she continues:: But maybe their traits just go down in the family...but if they don't have personal lives how do they have sons? Rachel: Or maybe each recruit they get just morphs to look like the one that had died so that it stays the same all the time...that'd be odd though --Okay I'm done setting up... Pace:Flips the pages and stops:Here we go! Pace:I got the guy I saw. Rachel: ::Stands up and walks over beside him, looking at the Book:: Pace:His name is Thrax, known for stealing powers that could restore his life cycle to sustain his age. Thrax kills his victims slowly and painfully and then steals their powers. Rachel: Do we really want to battle with that? Pace:Thrax is over 2, 695 years of age, but by stealing powers his skin morphs back 2, 000 years before making him look younger, fight better, and faster. Pace:Yea, we have to, the Musketeers are our new innocents. :Turns the page:Alright we have a potion but no spell. Rachel: You're good with rhymes, do your thing. Pace:Wait there's more...remember the three guys that attacked us in the alleyway? Rachel: Yeah? Pace:They're called The Three. The Three are three Demons that stay by Thrax's side showing him where to find his victims. The Three have common powers such as fireballs, energy balls, and telekinesis. They can also shimmer. Pace:All we need is to make a vanquishing potion and they're gone! Rachel: Couldn't Price just blow them up? Pace:Walks over to the chest opening it taking out three viles:Got the potion. Pace:I'm afraid Price could absorb their powers and turn evil, again. Rachel: He's been practicing with Pierce though, maybe he's better. Pace:Looks at her then at the potions he's holding: Pace:Looks up at her:How would you like to take this case on ourselves? Pace:It wouldn't be dangerous because I'm basically the strongest one. Rachel: Pace don't be cocky. You all have your strengths. And you can't protect me like you think you can. It's too risky. Pace:I'm also learning to use my levitation to levitate things. Pace:And yea I can. Rachel: Pace I don't think it'd be a good idea...I know you can control your powers and all-- Pace:My mind shield is big enough to protect San Fran's biggest Mall! Pace:Look, all we need is to summon The Three and torture them, make them talk, then we vanquish them. Pace:After that we summon The Three Musketeers and help them...then we go off and vanquish Thrax. Easy, I saved innocents by myself lots of times. Rachel: ::She walks over to a desk, grabbing a dagger, then walking back to him:: Do it then ::She puts the dagger inside her belt by her hip:: Pace:Uh, you're going to your room. Rachel: What? Pace:Yea, I can't let you stay here. You might get hurt. Rachel: Then I'm not letting you do this by yourself. Pace:What?! I'm a Charmed One. Rachel: I don't care, you're also my brother-in-law Pace:Fine, fine... Pace:But stay behind me! Rachel: ::She takes a step backwards:: Pace:I summon thy three, I call The Three, hear my call, hear this plea, by this power you shall come, hear my call, I summon The Three. Pace:Squints as an blue bubble appears protecting Pace and Rachel: ::Lights appears and wind breezes through:: ::The Three appear as the lights fade away and the wind stops:: Demon (1):How dare you summon us! Pace:Shut up! ::Raises his hand as a bubble surrounds them: Pace:The bubble protecting Rachel and Pace fades away: Pace:We know you want The Three Musketeers dead, but why them and not the Charmed Ones? Demon (2):Believe it or not but the Musketeers are more powerful then the Charmed Ones. Pace:Looks at him and laughs::Yea right--::Stops:: Pace:Where is Thrax hiding out? Demon (3):We will not talk Witch! Pace:Alright! ::Squints:: Demon (3):AH!!::Blows up:: Rachel: ::She looks to Pace, then to the Demons, then back to Pace:: Believe or not, but there are other beings out there like you guys... Pace:Ok but we are THE Charmed Ones... Rachel: When did you guys get so cocky about your magic side? Looks like the air got to your head... Rachel: ::Looks back to the Demon:: Tell us where we can find Thrax or die a slow horrible death. Demon (2):We will not talk! Pace:Wrong answer::Throws the potion:: Demon (2):AHH!!::Blows up:: Pace:Hey, looks like your the last one, wanna talk? Demon (1):Fine, Thrax is hiding in a place you will not be able to find! ::Shimmers away:: Pace:Looks at the bubble fade away:He can't do that! Rachel: Oh big powerful Charmed One... ::She walks to the doorway:: I'm going to go change, then I'm calling my husband, have fun oh mighty Charmed ONE. Pace:Alright... Demon (1):Shimmers behind Pace: Pace:Senses a person and turns around:Khiya! ::kicks him in the stomach:: Demon (1):Stumbles back: Demon (1):You will die! Rachel: ::Turns around, seeing the Demon there:: Rachel: ::She grabs the dagger from her belt loop and runs forward, throwing it at the Demon, stabbing him in the chest:: No you will! Demon (1):Ahh!!::Blows up:: Pace:Looks at her:I had that you know, talk about being cocky. Rachel: ::Walks over to the dagger, picking it up, then looking to Pace:: Rachel: ::Without saying a word she walks out of the attic and down the stairs to her bedroom, shutting the door:: Rachel: ::Walks to her bed and lies down against the bed:: Ahhh ::She closes her eyes:: Rachel: ::She hears a creak from one of the floorboards. She opens her eyes, looking around:: Rachel: ::She leans up, sitting at the edge of the bed:: Hello? Rachel: ::She stands up and walks to the mirror above the dresser, taking her comb and stroking it through her hair:: Rachel: ::She takes the phone from the station and presses the On button, dialing Pierce's cell phone:: Rachel: ::She waits for the tone to ring, until she begins to hear the phone begin to gargle:: Rachel: ::She looks to it, pushing it away from her:: ::The phone forces itself to the station:: Rachel: ::Jumps back, looking around the room:: Pace... ::She walks to the door, turning the doorknob but it doesn't budge:: Rachel: Pace! ::She walks around the room, looking around:: Rachel: ::She calls again but there's no answer:: Rachel: ::She walks to the dresser, holding the dagger:: Show yourself... Rachel: ::She places the dagger down on the dagger, walking back to the bed:: Rachel: Must just be me... ::She lays down, closing her eyes:: Rachel: ::She begins to fall asleep:: ::The door opens slowly:: Rachel: ::She turns over towards the window:: Demon: ::Walks into the room, closing the door softly behind him:: Rachel: ::She comes to:: Pierce...? Demon: ::He flinches, seeing a picture of Pierce and Rachel on the dresser:: Perfect... ::He morphs into Pierce, walking to her bedside:: Hi... Rachel: ::Turns over, seeing him:: Hey... ::She sits up, noticing his clothes different:: ...I must have dozed off longer than I thought... Demon: I just wanted to check in on you ::He grabs her hand, forcing her to him, kissing her:: Rachel: ::She kisses him, seeing the picture of her and her husband on the stand; the clothes the same:: Pierce... ::Her hand moves towards the dresser, taking the dagger gently:: Demon: ::His hands move down her back as he kisses her again:: Rachel: ::She rolls her eyes, moving the dagger towards his back, stabbing him in the rib, pushing him to the floor:: Demon: ::Hits the floor, demorphing to his true self:: Rachel: ::She jumps down to, forcing the dagger out of him, pointing it to his neck:: Tell me where I can find Thrax, I know you are one of his minions! Demon: ::Struggles:: You won't do it... Rachel: TELL ME OR YOU DIE! Demon: Stupid Woman... ::An energy ball forms in his hand:: Rachel: ::She rolls her eyes:: Ugh! ::She forces the dagger down into the Demon's chest, making him disappear into dust and disappear:: Rachel: Hmm.dust. ::She stands up, grabbing the dagger; walking to the door, opening it:: Rachel: Pace?? ::She walks down the hallway and down the stairs:: Pace? Are you still home? Rachel: ::She walks down the stairs, walking to the kitchen:: Pace? ::She walks to the conservatory:: Pace? Rachel: ::She turns around, walking back to the sitting room, seeing three men standing there---their backs turned:: Ah! ::She gasps, jumping up:: Pace:Walks to Rachel holding a spell:I wrote a spell... Pace:HEY! Pace:Who the hell are you? Rachel: You are so...deaf, you know that? ::She looks back to the men, slowly walking towards Pace:: Pace:Looks at her:I was meditating...anyway... Vax:We are the Three Musketeers. ::They turn to Rachel and Pace:: Pace:Oh... Pace:Wait, it isn't safe for you guys to be here, you know that, right? Jax:We'll take our chances. Thrax:Shimmers in: Pace:Turns seeing Thrax then looks back at the three:I told you! Rachel: Get out of here! Jax:Points the dagger out at Thrax: Rachel: ::She slowly takes her dagger from behind her belt loop:: Thrax:Electricity flies out from the dagger hitting him electrocuting him::Falls to the floor shaking: YOU SHALL DIE! Pace:Oh! ::Takes out a potion and throws it at Thrax:: Thrax:Looks up and flicks blowing it up: Rachel: Back up! ::Throws it at him:: Pace:Whoa--first time I saw a Demon with explosive power! Thrax:Throws it away with telekinesis: Thrax:Looks up at Rachel then at the three: Pace:LEAVE NOW! Thrax:Waves his hand:: ::Everything moves in slow motion: Thrax:Pulls three star daggers and throws them at the Musketeers: Thrax:Gets up looking around seeing the star daggers hitting the Musketeers: ::The Musketeers flinch slowly fly back: Price:Walks into the Manor: Price:Turns around shutting the door: Price:Turns around walking towards the living room freezing slowly then unfreezing:: Price:Sees a man and walks towards him:Hey? ::Looks seeing Rachel, his brother, and the three young men getting stabbed::Oh! ::Throws hands at Thrax:: ::Time goes normal as Thrax blows up:: ::The Three Musketeers fly back hitting the wall:: Price:Turns around looking at Pace and Rachel walking towards them:Are you guys ok? Pace:Yea, I'm ok... ::Looks at the three men: But they need help, badly, they're the Three Musketeers... Price:Turns around looking at them walking quickly to them: Price:Bends down:Hold on, my fath--I know this guy that could heal you... Axe:No...it's our time... Pace:Walks towards them:But who will take on the line? Jax:Don't worry...we picked our Chosen Ones... Pace:Who? Vax:Whoever the daggers choose... Price:Look you can hold on for just one more second, it'll be quick. Jax:Looks at them::Vanquish Thrax, you'll need each other... Rachel: ::She stands up, looking around to the three brothers and two brothers:: Pierce: ::Opens the front door and enters, closing it behind him:: Hey Guys--::He walks into the sitting room, seeing three men there:: ::The three slowly fade away, Jax turning into an goldish orb, Axe turning into a blue orb, and Vax turning into a purplish orb::The three orbs then fly into each dagger as the dagger glows--falling to where each man was stabbed:: Rachel: ::She stands next to her husband:: Price:Stands up fully:: Pace:Looks at the daggers:: Price:They didn't even fight for their lives... Pierce: What's going on? Pace:Its not for them to do, all they do is just try to help and save as many innocents they can, like us. Price:Guess we should put the daggers away. ::The daggers suddenly levitate into the air:: ::The three daggers then fly to each of the Charmed Ones:: Price:Grabs the dagger:: Pace:Takes the dagger::Whoa... Pierce: ::Backs away from it:: I'm not touching that thing. Rachel: ::Nudges him:: Take the dagger... Pace:Its a really great feeling! Pierce: ::Grabs the dagger, looking down to Rachel, then back to his brothers:: Price:Wait, we're the Chosen Ones? Pierce: Someone tell me what is going on... Pace:Probably, I won't be surprised, we are the Charmed Ones... Pace:Looks at Price and Pierce explaining it all:: Pierce: This is insane...you said they looked exactly like their ancestors and that whenever they needed a new brother they'd recruit... Price:Oook... Pace:Yea, so we probably are just Chosen...maybe because they didn't have any kids? Pierce: ::He looks over to Rachel:: And you made me take the dagger, I have enough bundle-- Rachel: Stop complaining ::She leans against his shoulder:: Price:What now? Pace:We go and vanquish the son of a bitch... Price:Thrax I take who plays the role of the son of a bitch? Pace:Exactly. Pierce: Okay then, lets do this... Price:We don't even know where Thrax is... Pace:Rachel, can you go scry for him? Rachel: Can I do that? Price:Wait, wait...I blew him up... Pierce: So problem solved or not? Pace:Yea, but not even our powers can vanquish him, we need these daggers with our powers. Price:Oh, ok... Pierce: Ah-- Pace:Yes you can, just go and focus on Thrax-- Pace:The crystal will do the rest. Rachel: Okay! ::She runs off and up the stairs:: Pace:Looks at Pierce smiling:: Pierce: ...What? Pace:She's learning fast. Pierce: ::He nods:: Good... Pierce: I'll go...see how she's doing...yeah... ::He walks up the stairs:: Pace:NO SEX WITH THE PREGNANT WIFE! Price:Quickly looks at Pace:WHAT?!

Pierce: ::He rolls his eyes, walking back up the stairs, marching hard on each step:: Pace:Runs back to Price:Is he gone? Price:Looks at Pace:Yea... ::Punches him in the arm hard:: Pace:What was that for?! ::Holds his arm:: Price:For opening your big mouth and using your power on sneaking up on them. Pace:Not my fault my power was out of control! Price:Your power wasn't out of control, you were... Pace:I wouldn't be talking. Price:Whatever Pace, go to your room. Pace:Excuse me? I'm 29 years of age not 5. Price:You sure do act 5. Pace:No I don't! Price:You wear SpongeBob boxers. Pace:There in right now...and you wear them too. Price:Yea, and wearing Power Ranger pajamas? Pace:In too you know... Price:Whatever, go upstairs and apologize to Pierce and Rachel, then get into the kitchen and fix up a mean ass potion, then we'll go vanquish this Thrax dude. Pace:Can you orb me up there? Price:Lifts his hand up:: Pace:Orbs away:THANK YOU! Price:Watches the orbs go through the ceiling: Pace:Orbs a few feet away from the door: Pace:Hi guys... Rachel: ::Sitting at the small table scrolling:: Pierce: ::His hand over hers, reaching over her:: Oh...hey Pace ::He sits back:: Pace:Sorry... ::Looks down playing with his fingers:: Rachel: Apology accepted... Pace:YAY! ::Runs jumping on both of their laps:: Pace:You guys almost finished? Pierce: Pace... Pace:What? ::Smiles innocently:: Pace:Fine, fine, don't have a cow... ::Gets up sitting on the couch:: Pierce: ::Leans over her again, his hand on hers as she scrys:: And you just feel the energy move... Pace:Ok, Pierce she knows how to do it...stop teaching her. Pierce ::Looks over to him, glaring, sitting back:: Pace:You're not going to get ::Uses fingers for quotation:: "bizazz" by doing that bro. Rachel: ::Giggles as the crystal flies around, stopping at a certain point:: Whoa-- Pace:Walks over to the map: Pace:1596 Williams Scar Street...but the only thing that there is an abandoned building...why would he hide out there? Pierce: ::He looks over to Pace:: Rachel: ::Looks to Pace as well:: Why do you think? Rachel: Abandoned...building, Einstein. Pace:Looks at Rachel and Pierce and walks out of the attic:: Rachel: ::She looks over to him with a wide smile:: Mission accomplished. Pierce: Come on lets get ready to go ::Stands up and helps her up:: Rachel: ::Walks out of the attic with him:: Pace:Sitting on the couch staring at the dagger as it levitates in the air: Price:Walks into the living room:Thanks Pace for making the potion. Pace:Grabs the dagger and looks up to Price:I didn't make a potion, you did it for me. Price:I know, that was called sarcasm. Price:Where's Rachel and Pierce? Pace:Don't know, don't care. Pace:Looks at Price: Price:What's your deal? Pace:Nothing, nothing at all... Pace:Sits back holding the dagger up in the air::Takes his hand away slowly as the dagger levitates::It starts to spin around slowly:: Price:Did they find out where he's hiding out? Pace:Yup... Price:Where, Pace? Pace:1596 William Scar Street. Price:The abandoned building? Pace:Yea... Rachel: ::Walks down the stairs:: Price, if you ask "Why the abandoned building?" you'll be proving my point of being slow. Pierce: ::Follows after her, now wearing a tight black t-shirt:: Okay ready for action ::He lifts up his hand, holding different colored potions in his hand:: There are more in my pockets. ::Rachel and Pierce walk over to Pace and Price:: Price:Looks at Pace: Pace:Looks at Price *-I'm beginning not to like her, she's getting too cocky and smart-*: Price:Nods: Price:Looks at Rachel and Pierce:Ok... Pierce: ::He folds his arms, squinting:: I'll talk to you two later. Price:Why not now? Pierce: ::He moves his eyes over, signaling because of Rachel being there:: --Okay, ::He joins his hands together in a clap:: Lets get to Demon killin'. Pace:Not so fast! Pierce: ::He begins to turn, looking back to him:: Pace:He could kill us one by one and steal our powers. And plus he's really fast, I didn't even see him throw those stars. Price:It's because he slowed time down. Pace:And you didn't slow down either why? Price:Because I guess I'm immune to it. Pace:Oh... Price:Well can we go now? Pace:Yea, Rachel stays here. Rachel: ::Nods:: Pierce: ::He looks to her, then to Pace:: Wait, why? She doesn't have to come in, but... Pace:She stays here! End of discussion, now lets go. Rachel: I'd just be in the way, don't worry, I'll be fine here. Pace:Exactly, and plus Rachel has to practice, you still have a potion quiz. Pierce: ::He walks to Rachel and kisses her on the lips, he takes a step back and then walks to Price and Pace:: Price:Takes there hands and orbs away: Rachel: ::Waves:: Bye Guys... ::The orbs come down in front of the building:: Price:Looks around:This is it, this is the place. Pace:Lets go and kick some ass... Price:Wait! Price:Pace, you'll levitate over the building onto the top of the roof coming from upstairs to downstairs. Price:I'll orb in with Pierce. Pierce: ::Nods:: Hope this plan works Price:We look for the bastard and vanquish him, ok? Pierce: ::Nods:: Everybody got their two potions, one of use, one for backup? Pace:Nods::See you when I see you... ::Levitates up in the air floating forwards over onto the roof top:: Price:Takes Pierce's hand::Lets go... ::They orb away into the building:: ::The orbs fade away showing the brothers:: Price:Wow, it's clean in here, very-very clean... Price:Walks around holding the dagger::His hands glow bright::He drops the dagger::I can't touch it... Pierce: Keep watch, I'll be on Phase-watch... ::He slowly begins to walk away from Price, looking back:: What? Price:I might take the power of the dagger... Pierce: ::He grasps the dagger on his belt loop:: Just be careful. Either way its good not evil, just be careful. Do like we practiced... Price:Right... Pierce: ::He cautiously walks through the building; ready to phase at any moment:: Demon:Shimmers behind Price: Price:Walks around looking at everything:: Price:Stops and turns around:: Demon:AH! ::Throws an red bolt at Price: Price:AHH!!::Flies back hitting the wall falling down:: Price:Falls on his stomach hard::Looks up:: Pierce: ::Walks down a dark hallway, holding out his blue hand, making white lights hover above his palm, lighting up the hallway:: Price:Throws one hand:: Demon:NO! ::Blows up:: Price:Gets up slowly:: Pierce: ::Looks back, sensing something:: Price? ... ::He turns back around:: I shouldn't have walked so far...

Nina:The same reason that you're here...to vanquish Thrax. Pace:What did Thrax ever do to you--Nina? Nina:He's one of the guys that are looking for Piper and I. Pace:Oh... Nina:What are you doing here? Pace:He killed three innocent ones...ever hear of the Three Musketeers? Nina:Yea--I use to date Jax. Pace:Oh, how nice... Nina:Looks away:Shame he had to go--he was a good kisser--oh God especially when he and his brothers would lock me up and-- Pace:Don't need to know... Nina:Ok... ::Looks down then back up at him::Bye now... Pace:Looks around then back at her:I'm not going anywhere, you're going bye bye. Nina:Me? Why me? I never get to have any fun, well I do but still, you go. Pace:Look, we can do this together but if you're in my way, I want you to leave. Nina:Fine, same for you. Pace:Yea...right.

Nina:Spins around decapatating him with her bare left hand:: Nina:Guess not... ::Runs over to Pace helping him up:: Pace:Thanks... Nina:No problem... Pace:Lets go find my brothers. Nina:Lets go... ::They walkaway quickly:: Pierce: ::He walks down the dark hallway, holding his hand out, focusing to keep the light shining from his hand existent:: Gotta be around here somewhere...I can sense it... ::He turns a corner, seeing another dead end:: Pierce: Hmm...what's behind this wall ::He walks towards the wall and puts his hand down as he phases through the wall and rubble, seeing a small room with a broken boarded window, blocking most of the moonlight:: Pierce: ::He walks around the small room, walking through another wall, seeing himself back in another hall:: Pierce: ::He walks down the hallway further, sensing a trace of energy coming from down the hall:: Pierce: ::He looks around, walking towards it:: Come out come out wherever you are... ::He jumps into the doorway, seeing a figure in the far corner of the room:: Pierce: ::He flinches, not being able to see who they are:: Pierce: ::He focuses, staring forward to sense the figure:: I am a Charmed One...show yourself now. ::The figure turns around, morphing into Pierce, walking towards him, suddenly appearing face to face with him:: Pierce: ::He flinches, seeing a man who looks exactly like him right in front of him:: Demon... Figure: I'm no Demon...I'm here to help you, Pierce-- Pierce: Show your true form, I sensed a large vibe of energy coming from this area...from you... Figure: Do you sense it now? ::He tilts his head, exactly how Pierce would:: No I didn't think you did. Pierce: Tell me who you are! I need to vanquish a Demon and fast, tell me who you are or-- Figure: --Die? No I don't think I can die. Figure: ::He turns around, walking further into the moonlight room, looking back to Pierce:: I like your shirt. Pierce: I don't have time for this ::He squints, sending a blast of telekinetic energy at the figure:: Figure: ::Stands strong, as the wave passes by him simply, hitting the shrapnel behind him:: Your powers won't work on me ::He walks towards him again, appearing face to face with him:: Pierce: Tell me who you are. Or I can make you. Figure: Your spells won't work on me either, Charmed One. You can't try a spell on yourself, Pierce. Pierce: ::He turns around annoyed; as he takes a step forward into the hall, the figure is face to face with him again:: Figure: ::He pushes his hand out, touching Pierce's chest firmly:: You may love your wife but you can't protect her from her own curiosity. Pierce: Shut up! ::He takes the man's arm, but his hand moves back on his chest instantly:: This isn't a good game ::He looks to his copy's eyes:: Figure: Look into my eyes, Pierce. You'll see yourself. You'll see me. ::He glows against Pierce's chest:: Pierce: :Struggles to get away, but the man's energy controls him to stay:: Let...go...of...me-- Figure: This shouldn't hurt much ::The glow brightens from underneath his hand, the light zooms around them, hitting Pierce through the back:: Pierce: Ahhhhh! ::He looks to the figure's focusempty eyes; unable to move:: Figure: It'll be over soon, you may not want it but you'll see the truth. Figure: Life is a labyrinth, leading back to one's self in the strangest of places. Price:Ok, thats it...No more trying to find--::Flies into the wall extremely hard, rolling over unconscious:: Thrax:Walks out of the darkness:Nice to see you at my house...Witch... Thrax:Starts to walk over slowly towards Price:You really didn't expect me to be dead? We sort of have the same powers. Thrax:I mean, I don't have explosion...what's that? Speeding up the molecules or something? I would think you would have gotten the ability to slow time or speed it up...but to blow up things...neat. Thrax:I would love that power, in matter of fact, I'm going to have that power. Thrax:Raises his hands as Price floats up standing straight:: Thrax:A dagger suddenly appears in his hand::Looks like a Charmed One is about to die. Thrax:Raises the dagger up and is about to stab Price in the stomach but the dagger stays in the air: Thrax:Huh? Pace:Thats my brother you ass! Nina:Appears from the cieling and throws Thrax into the wall: Thrax:Flies over hitting the wall:: Pace:PIERCE! Pace:Runs over to Price: Price:Opens his eyes:Uh--::Looks over seeing Thrax:: Pace:PIERCE! Pierce: ::Appears in golden lights, by his brothers, not saying a word:: Pace:Hi... Pierce: ::He takes out a vile from his pocket and it disappears in light, he throws his arm forward and it reappears, hitting Thrax with a large explosion:: Thrax:Gets hit and flies back breaking through the wall:: Pierce: ::He throws his hand forward again, making Thrax fly upwards, hitting the ceiling:: Pace:Looks over at Pierce: Pace:The daggers... Pace:Takes his out:: Pierce: ::He looks to Pace with empty eyes, looking down to his dagger, taking it from his belt loop:: Price:Takes the dagger from his belt and holds it up:: Nina:Looks at the brothers:Do it already! ::Price, Pierce, and Pace each throw their daggers--:: ::The three daggers fly towards Thrax::They align one in front of another and form into a sword:: Thrax:NO! ::The sword flies extremely fast going into Thrax's chest:: Thrax:No!!::Spins around really fast blowing up:: Nina:Turns burying her face into Pace's jacket:: ::The sword stays in the air:: ::It then becomes the three daggers and vanishes in bright lights:: Nina:Looks over at the daggers vanishing:: Pierce: ::He stares at the place Thrax had stood, then he looks towards his brothers:: Price:Orb? Pace:I think I'm going to walk... Price:Looks at Pace then gets it: Price:Walks to Pierce:Come on... ::Places his hand on his shoulder:: Price:Looks at Pace then orbs away with Pierce::Lets go home. Pace:Walks over to Nina: So, what's this? This last time I'll see you? Or the first of many times of bumping into each other? Nina:Looks at him:I love you, you know that, but I can't stay in one spot. Pace:But, what about Piper? Pace:I don't want her to know she doesn't have a father out there who cares for her. Nina:She knows you love her...one day Pace...just one day, let me live and do what I have to do while I'm in town...ok? Pace:Let me be the one to leave this scene first... ::Walks out of the building:: Nina:Looks at him leave then around:: ::The scene fades away:: ::The orbs come down into the living room:: Price:Oh, what a fight...I'm beat, I'm off to bed, big day tomorrow, night... ::Orbs up to his room:: Pierce: ::He looks over to Price, nodding:: Pierce: ::He follows him, walking up to the attic:: Pierce: ::He walks in, seeing Rachel pacing around, reading a book:: Rachel: ::She stops, placing the book down; seeing him:: Oh Pierce! ::She walks over to him, hugging him:: I'm glad your back safe. Pierce: ::He looks back to her, his hands still around her:: Not exactly safe, Rach. Rachel: What do you mean? Pierce: I was looking for the Demon when I saw a man. When he turned around and I saw him...he was me. He kept on saying things about being me and everything...then he said... Pierce: "You may love your wife but you can't protect her from her own curiousity." Pierce: Then he put his hand on my chest and somehow he hit me with energy and I saw something...like a vision sort of... Rachel: Tell me, what was it? Pierce: You were walking around the bedroom, holding the baby. And a Demon shimmered in... Rachel: Spit it out, Pierce. Pierce: You looked to the dresser, there was...like an amulet...and you took it and wrapped the necklace around your neck...the baby couldn't protect itself. Pierce: You put your hand out and the Demon blew up...then the amulet disappeared...but what shocked me was the baby... Rachel: What about the baby? Pierce: The baby was glowing...it was a black glow...if that makes sense. Rachel: ::She takes a step back, placing her hands on her womb:: Pierce: The baby was innocent looking...but the black glow.......And you looked down...and you smiled, as if it was a good thing. Rachel: ::She looks up to him:: Pierce...you know-- Pierce: -Yes I know...but the vision was so vivid...and by the baby's size...I'd say in a year's length... Rachel: ::She takes his hand, walking to the Book of Shadows:: I'm getting this Book to let me touch it...will you help me? Rachel: The baby won't be hunted or be turned evil or anything. Pierce: ::He hovers his hand above the Book, making the pages fly to a picture of a father, mother, and baby:: Pierce: With the words of my family. Halliwell line I call upon thee. Bless this woman with the power of touch. Let her good shine through, let her touch this Book... ::He looks down, seeing the page's text glow and change:: Rachel: ::She looks over to him:: Pierce: ::He reads it aloud, his hand around her:: With life it holds, the time will show, as the family shows its rightous glow, King and Queen, with Royality to be, this family will forever reign, In the Charmed Destiny? Pierce: ::He looks down to her, then to the book, seeing it glow bright:: Rachel: ::She gasps...looking down to her stomach, then up to Pierce, her eyes glow for a second, turning back to normal:: Pierce: Rachel? ::She falls; he catches her:: Rachel: ::She catches her balance, gently touching the Book of Shaodws:: Pierce: ::He smiles:: We'll figure out why you couldn't touch it tomorrow morning. Rachel: ::She smiles, hugging him:: Pierce: ::He closes his eyes, holding her strongly:: Blessed be... ::They disappear in golden lights:: |
