Price:: He flies out the attic window:: He turns around and before he hits the ground he orbs away: Pace:: He turns and looks at the window:: Shit... Price:: He orbs back into the attic:: He throws his hand and freezes the Demons: Pace:: He turns to Travis and Terri:: Okay, you two are twins with the power opposite of eachother. Use your powers and combine them into one. Then...vanquish the Demons...easy. Terri:: She faces her brother and nods:: She turns towards the Demons and puts her hands out along with her brother:: Price:: Lets get it on! :: He unfreezes the Demons :: Terri:: Eat this...:: She steps forward sending out beams of white:: The beams quickly ice freezing the Demons:: Travis:: He throws his hand and sends out a fire flame :: He watches as the Demons explode from the combination:: Price:: He walks over to Terri and Travis:: Good jobs, but next time you guys need to react faster so I won't be thrown out the window. Travis:: Sorry, next time...well, that won't happen next time. :: He smiles:: Price:: Good, that's what I Want to hear...you can go back downstairs and send up Becky and Greg. Terri:: Okay...:: She walks out of the attic with her brother:: Pace:: He walks to the window and examines outside:: Price:: He walks to a chair and sits down:: He sighs and rubs his face:: He looks over to Pace:: Staring outside isn't going to make it better.. Pace:: I would've never thought that in a million years this would happen. We're the only house that hasn't been broken into..every house on the block, in the city is banged up. Broken windows, graffitti everywhere, fires in garbage cans, fights every ten minutes, murders and suicides every five minutes. Even the cops are going bad..there has to be a way to fix it all. Price:: There is..:: He sits up:: Vanquishing Nick and destroying his army will make it better...it'll reverse all the damage that has been done. Pierce: ::He walks into the attic slowly:: ...I'd hope it'd reverse it all... Pace:: He turns around to face Price & Pierce:: Hey bro, it's been a month..are you done with the sleeping? Pierce: ...It has not been a month. And stop pestering me about my sleeping... ::He walks to the Book of Shadows and simply flips the pages:: I'd say I'm due for sleeping after what I've been through lately. Pace:: Actually, in three days it will be a month. :: He walks over to Pierce and pushes him back playfully:: Wanna go vanquish some Demons or kick some not-so-innocent asses? Pierce: ...::He smiles to Pace but looks back down to the Book, then turns and looks out the window to the city:: Go be human by yourself, I've got bigger things on my mind ::He turns back to Pace, smiling to him:: Pierce: ::He pushes his brother playfully on the shoulder:: I just came up here to see how everything was going. Then get to my tasks for the day. Pierce: Sure! I'll go vanquish or kick with you... Pace:: Coolio, I'll grab the potions..:: He walks out of the attic:: Price:: So, how have you been? It's like I hardly see you around here anymore..even though you sleep ten feet away. Pierce: Potions? We don't need no potions... ::He looks over to Price and sits down at the couch:: I've been visiting the kids, I've been making connections in what's left of the magical community, I've been making connections in what's left of the human community... Price:: And...? :: He looks outside and throws his hand; freezing a bird:: Pierce: Oh! And I apparently sent memories to Alex while I was unconscious when I was aging. I'd say I rock lately. Now we just need to find Ethan and Carly, and vanquish Billie and Nick...overall. Pierce: ::He stands up and walks back to the Book of Shadows:: ...Well we need to meditate and train together, too. I mean, I know we've been doing it a lot lately, well---whenever you see me that is---but its still important. Price:: I'm trying to find a way to save Billie..she's still good, she still has it in her and she's proved that twice already. Pierce: ::He grips the podium and simply flips more pages with telekinesis:: Do as you'd like... Pace:: He walks into the attic with a small pouch filled with potions:: When was the last time the Book flipped on its own? Pierce: I don't recall...things get pushed out for new things in my brain...::He looks over to the potions:: We don't need potions, not really. Pace:: Well I do...remember, I don't have the Blue Phoenix anymore...and I have no idea on how to control this power..it just seems to work when it feels like it. :: He sits on the arm of a chair:: Pierce: Pace, meditation? ::He looks through the Book:: Come on, we can only study so many forms of cultural myths, meditations, ectera ectera... ::He stops flipping the pages with his mind and takes the pouch from Pace, looking at each capsule:: I still don't think we need these... Pace:: Well, Price isn't coming and four of those potions are his powers. :: He points to the pouch:: Pierce: We've channeled each others' powers before...maybe we should try doing that more often? Pace:: I guess..:: He stands up and walks over to Pierce:: So, which Demon are we going to go after first? Price:: Why don't you wipe out threats, ones that would try and work with Nick. Pace:: Cool and while you're here you can look up information of Kevin Hillrose..? Price:: He shrugs:: Pierce: ::He nods, handing the pouch back to Pace:: Price:: Oh, yay...what about the kids? I can't just leave them here alone... Pace:: He takes the pouch and holds it by the rope:: Pierce: ...Well call Alex over? Maybe she and Nina can meet...oh you know, sometime? Eventually? Pace:: Piper...:: He turns and looks out the window:: Price:: He gets and walks towards the door:: He turns to his brothers as he places his hands in his hood jacket:: I'll call Alex, tell her to come over and call Nina to see if she wants to stop by as well. :: He glances over to Pace then back to Pierce:: You two better be careful.. Pace:: He turns and stands next to Pierce:: You ready? Price:: He turns and walks out of the attic:: Pierce: ::He takes Pace's shoulder and focuses his mind:: Oh---I've got one...::They teleport away in light:: ::Pierce and Pace appear out of the air, behind a dumpter in an alleyway:: Pierce: ::He turns to Pace and walks through the alley:: Welcome to L.A.... Pierce: ...This place shouted out to me---see, meditation helps things. ::He walks down through the alley, sensing around:: Hmm...there's heat all around here...::He walks through, seeing Los Angeles in lighter distress:: It doesn't look as bad here... Pace:: Not yet it doesn't...:: He walks along with Pierce:: Pierce: Well I suppose both cities have something divine-holy-supernatural to them...but all the major cities and towns across the world look the same nasty... ::He focuses, sensing stronger:: I've got that Demon... Pace:: He takes out two potions:: Red one is to freeze, orange is to explode.. Pierce: ::He walks onto another alley and places his hand out in a flick---electricity forming in his hands:: Bright is for explode too...::He looks around:: This one is a lower level...but...something relative to...::He focuses:: --wait, Billie, somehow. Pace:: What? Billie's here..why? Pierce: No, she isn't here...but...this Demon...I think knows her somehow. My sensing is getting more specific I believe...and that's all I know...do all Demons have to hang out in alleyways? ::He stops and looks over to a figure underneath a cardboard box:: Wait---a hobo? Pace:: He laughs to himself:: A hobo Demon? ::A woman flinches and jumps out from underneath the shelter:: Woman: GET AWAY FROM MY STUFF!! ::She hurries around in the pile, picking out a stick and a pot:: Pierce: ::He places his hand out--the electricity dissipating:: We're--not here to hurt you! Woman: Get away from my stuff! This is my stuff! I'll kill you Demons! ::She swings her pot at Pace:: Pace:: He leans back grabs her by the wrist:: Like he said, he's not here to hurt you -- but I will if I have to! :: He pushes her back:: Now what do you know about Demons? Woman: ::She shuffles back and holds herself against the bricks, then regains her posture---pushing her matted hair out of her face:: Who are you?! I don't got to answer you! Pierce: I'm Pierce Halliwell--this is my brother Pace, we're the Charmed Ones... Woman: ::She tilts her head, unsure:: Charmed Ones?! ::She grips her pot:: ...How'd y'all find me, why?! Pierce: ::He looks at her pot and it flies out of her hand into her pile:: I sensed for you---did...you know Billie Combs? Pace:: He keeps his eyes on the woman:: Woman: ::She blinks a few times at the name as she leans back against the bricks:: Billie...she...helped me...and then she disappeared...I never saw her again... Pierce: ...So you did know her? She...was a friend of ours...she's turned evil evil now...and we were drawn to you...for her, I suppose... Woman: ...She was my friend... ::She looks to Pace wearily, then back to Pierce:: Name's Avery Leaman...she found me when I wasn't in the best of places...helped me get back on my feet... Pace:: Are you a Witch? Pierce: Pace-- Avery: ::She smiles at Pierce's concern, then turns back to Pace:: I'll tell ya...I ain't no Witch. ...I was half-Mystic...I...well...ain't really Mystic anymore. I was just always screwing up in life...Billie found me and helped me... Pierce: Oh...a Mystic? So you were magical but for no reason then? Avery: Yeah...I guess you can say it like that...if there's a reason I don't know none... Pierce: ::He takes a gentle step towards her:: Tell me Avery...we're trying to...get---::He thinks for a second, then forces the word out:: save...Billie. Can you think of anything that can help us get to Billie? Her human side? Pace:: He looks around trying to sense any evil:: He walks around the ally:: Avery: ::She sits down against an old mattress and thinks for a moment:: Yeah...I got one. Billie...said she found me 'cause I was really receptive for the elements...like wind, water, fire, ground... Pierce: Yes? Pace:: She turns back to Avery:: You sure H2O is receptive to you? Because right now, you need about twenty gallons on you...even that won't do enough. :: He continues to look around:: Avery: Well ::She stares away from Pace:: there was one time...I was trynna get a job in this florist place...'cause I'm good with plants...with my hands see? ...And she told me how this woman she knew used to always give her clothes...and really warmed up to her...and that she liked plants too. ...And Billie told me that if I was just willing to give someone myself, like as if I was the clothes for the company, then they'd warm up to me too... Pierce: ...::He smiles, glancing over to Pace:: ...I think that woman was my wife actually. ::He looks over to Pace, then back to Avery:: ...Avery, can you tell me why you're living in a...box? What happened? Pace:: Least she doesn't have to worry about wasting water..she gets it for free but still it strays away from her. :: He turns and smiles at Avery:: I'm just busting your chops, chilé. :: He walks back over to Pierce:: Avery: ::She hesitantly thinks to answer, but is still happy to at least have someone to talk to:: Billie told me she had plans for me, that she'd visit to keep me on my feet...the last time I saw her she had told me she knew why I always screwed up...had bad luck...but she never came back...and I've...I just...I really needed her...she was so good for me... Pierce: ...Hmm... ::He turns to Pace, *-Cursed?-*:: Pace:: He shakes his head:: The last time you saw Billie, how was she...how did she look? Avery: ::She thinks for a moment:: ...She seemed very happy. Told me she had found someone...that she had helped him...see the light. But that was a long, long time ago... Pierce: ...Craven... Pace:: Thanks...:: He takes out his wallet and hands her twenty dollars:: Go get something to eat...:: He takes out two hundred dollars and hands it to her:: And leave the city...go somewhere far..like...Upstate New York. Avery: ...::She takes it in amazement at the money:: Thanks...I guess you ain't such an ass after all...::She takes the money and looks up to him:: ...How would I get to New York? Goodness... Pierce: ::He thinks for a moment:: ...No wonder she was so broken about Craven...she had been helping him... Pace:: It's called Greyhound...:: He turns to Pierce:: Huh? I'm lost... Pierce: ::He looks up to Pace and taps him on the head:: I'll tell you about it later...::He turns to Avery:: I'm going to help you, okay? Avery: ::She tilts her head:: Kay? Pace:: He nods:: Pierce: Close your eyes...there's a lot of hell going on across the world...it should be better in New York...its more populated...there should be more magical people there to help you...plus there's more hellmouth-ish activity over here anyway... Avery: ::She closes her eyes, unsure of what to do:: Pierce: Evil aura surrounding this woman, dissipate by her inner light, reveal the good and the blessed, take away the powerless plight... ::Avery glows for a moment:: Pace:: He watches Avery:: Pierce: ::He places his hand on Pace and his other on Avery:: We'll take you to see one of our friends...::He looks to Pace in question:: Pace:: Yeah...our friend..:: He looks over to Pierce unsure:: Pierce: ::He rolls his eyes, *-How many years did you live in New York, Mr. New York Man?-*:: Pace:: Nancy Walker, she's a Witch...she has two daughters and a son. Her husband is a professor at NYU. They're nice people... Avery: ...::She grips the money especially:: I don't mind leaving all this behind...that'd sound lovely if they're willing... Pace:: They won't mind, Nancy loves taking in the poor... Pierce: ::He grins to Pace:: We'll have to work on you... ::They disappear in bright light:: Vickie:: She flies down the hall along with Michael & Becky:: Demon:: He creates a fireball:: Greg:: He runs out and flips over the Demon:: He grabs the fireball and kicks the Demon in his chest:: He flips foward as he throws the fireball in the air and kicks it down towards the Demon:: Demon:: NOO!! :: He gets hit and explodes:: Michael:: He gets up and helps Becky and Vickie:: You two okay? :: He turns towards Greg:: Are you okay? Greg:: Piece of cake...when we get into battle, I'M SO READY!! Becky:: She walks towards Greg and puts her hand out to slap him on the chest playfully:: Greg:: He steps back quickly:: Becky:: She stops and puts her hand down:: She turns towards Michael and looks over to Vickie:: I...I'm going to the attic, work on a potion with Neo & Raymond. :: She turns and walks to the staircase:: She walks upstairs and looks down at Greg oncemore:: She continues to walk upstairs:: Price:: He walks out from the living room and leans against the doorway:: You know..you guys shouldn't be so hard on her..she's just like you.. Greg:: No, she is nothing like us..her power isn't good, it's evil..pure evil. Price:: Her power isn't evil... Michael:: It's not something no living being would want to come across. Price:: Okay, so she can absorb your living essence, take your youth, take your powers, & make you lose the will to live.... Vickie:: She places her hand on her hip:: Raymond: ::He hurries down the stairs, stopping at the corner of the staircase:: Becky's helping Neo...I'm gonna hang out with you guys... Price:: Okay...so those aren't the best powers it doesn't mean she's evil. Her father was a Demon and her mother was...well, half a Demon. Doesn't mean she's evil all around..:: He turns to Raymond:: Hey.. Raymond: Something about her...bugs me, I get what you're saying but it still bugs me. Price:: Raymond, what's -- your ability? Michael:: He turns to Raymond:: Raymond: ...Well I can turn things to stone...minerals, really... Greg:: He laughs:: What's that going to do to a Demon? Raymond: I can fuse him into the floor he's on? ...Look, I don't think it was meant to fight Demons---don't make fun of me. Price:: That's different.. Raymond: ::He looks to Price and sighs:: I'll go back up and help out... Piper:: She walks into the Manor and closes the door behind her:: She takes her earphones off and walks towards her Uncle and the teens:: What's up? :: She looks over to Raymond and smirks:: Raymond: ::He turns and grudingly makes his way up the stairs:: Price:: Hey Piper, your mom is downstairs in the basement teaching the kids how to use the weapons with their powers.. Piper:: She smiles at Raymond and turns towards Price:: She's 8 months and two weeks pregnant, she does not need to be in a room filled with weapons. Price:: I tried telling her that but she's stubborn. :: He shrugs:: Piper:: True. :: She turns to Vickie, Greg, & Michael:: What? Go do something with yourselves, don't stare my beauty blinds. :: She turns around with attitude as she throws her hand at them:: She rolls her eyes and looks up to her Uncle:: So, where's Pierce and my father? Price:: "Pierce" is with your father out... Piper:: She looks around:: Doing what? ::Pierce appears in bright light in the conservatory:: Pierce: ::He looks around and walks into the sitting room:: Hey everyone---Pace is finding a home for an innocent Billie once knew...he told me he'll call when he's done. Piper:: Sup Uncle, what's good with you? Pierce: Hey Piper, good to see you again --::He turns to Price:: I just stopped by to find that list of Demons and get the last one on the list... Michael:: Aye...:: He walks out with Greg & Vickie:: Piper:: You are so corny, that's all I get? I'm 14, not 5.. Pierce: ::He sighs and leans back against the wall:: I thought I was teen-speaking was better---no? Price:: The last one is some female...Ivory or something. She shoots acid out from her hands and posionous thorns from her mouth.. Piper:: Sorry Uncle P, you're not hip no more. :: She shrugs and walks into the kitchen:: Pierce: ::He smiles and closes his eyes---focusing:: ...Wait...I think I found her---I'll get her, she shouldn't be able to get to me... See ya... ::He turns in light:: Price:: WAIT -- I wanna go to... Pierce: ::He turns back---the light vanishing:: Did you talk to Alex, Victoria, Nina---anyone stop by at all? Price:: Alex is upstairs in the attic, Nina is down in the basement...Victoria is still in New York, has been there for five months now..isn't that great? Pierce: Has it been that long? Time flies by so fast... ::He takes Price's arm:: Let's go and be quick about it---::They disappear in bright light:: Piper:: She appears at the base of the stairs:: She looks up:: Book Of Shadows, here I come..:: She walks upstairs and walks through the hallway:: She walks to the staircase to the attic and walks up the stairs:: She looks inside and looks over to Becky,Raymond,Alex,& Neo.:: What's going on in here? :: She walks over to them:: Ooh, making potions..what kind? :: She quickly looks to Alex for the answer:: Alex: ::She looks over to Piper and smiles:: Oh no, I'm not there at all... Piper:: I knew you wouldn't be. :: She looks over to Raymond and smiles:: You know you're not suppose to put that much dillweed in right? It'll over balance the potion and instead vanquish the Demon, it'll only wound him. It'll be a critical wound but you want to vanquish the Demon, so less on the weed..:: She walks over to the Book Of Shadows and opens it:: She turns the pages slowly:: Raymond: ::He smiles as he takes a few shards of rocks and some powder from a capsule and places it into one of the pots before them:: I think I know how to balance minerals, thank you very much... Alex: ::She smiles but stops abruptly, looking around slowly...to Neo...to Becky...to Piper:: ...Did...something...::She looks back down:: Nevermind...I'm just flustered, I suppose. Pregancy and all that... Raymond: ::He pushes the dilweed pot to the side:: ...But thanks Piper... Piper:: Sure...how about I summon a Demon once you're done to prove you're wrong? :: She stops on a page of a Demon:: Pogue --- think your potion will vanquish Pogue with just one blow? :: She looks over to Alex:: Alex: ...Piper, I know I don't know you that well---but don't you think you're being a little...sudden? Piper:: She looks back down and reads about the Demon:: Hmm...says he worked for the Source of all Evil and was higher rank then Belthazar.. Piper:: She looks up to Alex quickly:: Excuse me? Neo: I don't think so...::He looks back down to the book he's reading beside Alex:: Alex: ::She glances to Neo but looks back up to Piper:: Piper, I've met your father---I know he'd be proud you're taking charge and all, but we all have what we're supposed to do. You can help us if you like. Piper:: How about you shut your mouth and keep yourself out of this? Raymond: ::He takes a scoop of the pot's potion and places it into a small pouch, handing it to Alex and another to Neo:: Put these on? Alex: ::She looks to Raymond and wraps it around her neck:: Another pouch? What for? Neo: ::He looks up from the book and ties it around his wrist:: Did you finish that other one yet? Raymond: ::He takes another pouch and ties it around his left wrist:: Piper, don't be such a brat, will you? Alex: Raymond... Raymond: ::He takes another capsule, fills it and corks it, placing it to the rest of the capsules:: Alex, can you take these down please? Price can take these... Alex: ::She stands up slowly, taking her time to stand:: Sure... ::She takes the box and heads towards the door but stops, turning back to Piper:: Piper, can you...take these down actually? It's a lot of steps if you don't mind. Neo: ::He looks back down to reading:: Raymond: ::He finishes another capsule, but then grabs another from his other side and holds it in his right hand:: Alex: ...Piper? ::She holds out the box, then looks around---stumbling back onto the couch, taking care to set the box to her side:: Whoa... Raymond: ::He jumps up, hurrying over to her:: Alex? Alex? Neo: ::He stands up, hurrying to her:: Alex: Oh---it's just...::She takes her time to breath:: I haven't felt that rushing feeling in a long time...;:She holds her forehead:: Like a headache... Neo: This has happened before? Alex: Well, a long time ago---its just a dazed feeling...with umph----::She looks over, noticing Piper still by the Book of Shadows:: Piper? Piper:: She looks up:: What? Don't you see that I'm reading something? Alex: ::She looks over to Neo and Raymond, then back to Piper:: Young lady, come here please--::She picks up the box:: Take these downstairs, will you? Piper:: Look, I'm busy...you got three little helpers here, why don't you ask one of them to help you? Alex: Three? Raymond and Neo... and you? Piper:: Hm...I think you forgot about Becky over there..:: She points towards Becky:: Becky:: She turns around to Alex:: Alex: ::She looks over, noticing, then back to everyone:: ...I...think I need to lay down...::She stands up, making her way to the door:: Neo: I'll help you...::He helps her down the stairs:: Piper:: It's cool, you lose memory when you get old...:: She smiles and looks back down to the Book:: Raymond: ::He looks back to the potions station, then to Becky, then to Piper:: Piper, what are you looking for anyway? Piper:: Nothing...absolutely nothing. :: She stops and glances at the page and then starts to flip the pages again:: Raymond: ::He nods, sitting back down at the potions station, picking up a pouch and tossing it to Piper:: Hey---put this on... Becky: ::She takes one as well, wrapping it around her wrist:: Piper:: She catches it and looks at it:: What for? Raymond: It's something Pierce taught me---it helps strengthen your magical stamina. Piper:: She laughs:: I don't need this...hello, I'm the daughter of Pace Halliwell. Raymond: ::He stares at her questionably, then goes back to his potions:: Neo: ::He walks back in, sitting down to his book:: Alex is laying down in Pierce's room... Piper:: She reminds me of Rachel... Raymond: Rachel? ::He thinks for a moment:: Pierce's ex? Piper:: Yeah, so weak and fragile..I guess Pierce like's to be with damsels in distress. Thank God my mother likes to kick ass... Raymond: Well your mom isn't psychic, right? I'd say psychics are always weak---mystics, psychics, all of those...mental creatures... Neo: Shut up Raymond, you're not worth much yourself... Piper:: My father is...do you have a problem? Raymond: ::He looks up to Piper:: Well lets see---you're disrespectful to Alex, you're not that pleasant towards us, and your father's psychic abilities aren't that great since the...::He thinks for a minute:: Blue Phoenix, left him. Am I right? Becky: ::She smiles as she looks down to the crystal orb in her hands:: Raymond: What I'm saying is that psychics always seem to lose it... Becky: Raymond, don't be such an ass... Neo: ::He keeps his mouth shut, focused on reading:: Piper:: She walks from around the podium and walks towards Raymond:: She stops infront of him and looks him in the eye:: I'm also a psychic..now, you having a problem with them is having a problem like me. We can settle this now..or later. Becky: Hey...come on... Raymond: ...::He looks Piper directly in her eyes:: ...I'm just saying what I've been witnessing---and I've yet to see anyone change my view... Becky: Raymond--Piper, cut the crap... Piper:: She pushes him back:: Lets go.. Neo: ::He stands up, placing his book down:: Guys---we have more than this to worry about... Raymond: ::He stares directly at her:: Outside, inside--either way... Becky: ::She places the crystal orb down and stands up:: Seriously---come on, after all this you guys want to fight?! Neo: ::He looks questionably to Becky, then turns and hurries to the doorway--quickly making his way out of the attic:: Becky: Ugh---he probably went to go get one of the Brothers... ::She pushes her hands between Piper and Raymond--:: ::Piper and Raymond seperate suddenly:: Becky: ::She looks to them--:: Ugh...we have bigger things to worry about... ::She hurries after Neo:: Raymond: ...::He watches Becky leave--then stubbornly sits down at the potions station:: Sorry---I'll leave my problems at the door next time. ...My bad. Piper:: She walks closer to Raymond and leans down so they are at eye contact:: Next time I hear you bashing on us psychics...I will bash your face into the wall until your face is no more. :: She smirks and walks out of the attic:: Raymond: ::He swallows once she leaves---his eyes afraid to look away from his potions:: ::Pierce and Price appear in golden light by the sofa:: Pierce: ...You should have just stuck to the plan, that's all. Nina:: She walks into the sitting room as she rubs her large pregnant belly:: Hey guys, have one or both of you seen my bastard of a husband? Price:: He looks to Nina and shakes his head and looks to Pierce:: Next time, wait until I freeze the Demon before you run out like a mad man. She almost killed you...she had some big thorns though. :: He sits down:: Pierce: ::He quickly pats dust off his clothes:: I phase, remember? Thorns or no thorns? Pierce: Whatever you say bro... ::He smiles:: Let me call him up... ::He closes his eyes--focusing:: I'll be right back... ::He disappears without light---as not to hurt Nina's eyes:: Price:: He watches Nina sit down and looks over to her:: Becky: ::She walks down the stairs but quickly stops:: ...Where---::She looks over to Price and Nina:: ...Did Neo run by here? Nina:: She examines her nails and puts her long black hair behind her ear:: She looks over to Becky and shrugs:: I think he's in the basement.. Becky: Must have teleported or something---::She continues down the stairs:: Thank you Nina---oh, and ::She looks over to Price:: Alex is napping, she had a headache---::She thinks for a moment:: Oh, and Piper and Raymond are going to claw at each other soon ::She smiles and hurries into the kitchen:: ::Pierce and Pace appear in the sitting room, once again behind the sofa:: Pierce: Bastard's here, Nina! Nina:: She looks over to Pace and sits forward then lays back:: She glares at him and grips the arms of the chair:: Pace:: Hey baby, how are you doing today? :: He walks over to her slowly:: It's a beautiful day outside..don't you think? Price:: He looks up at Pierce and looks over to Pace and Nina:: Nina:: You're lucky that you're the father of both of my children, otherwise I would've killed you already. :: She grins:: Pierce: ...Before you two decapitate one another...anyone seen my lovely fiancee? Price:: She's taking a nap...wait...when did she become your fiancee? Nina:: Help me up Pace!! :: She puts her hand out:: Pace:: Okay, okay--don't have to scream..:: He takes her hand and helps her up slowly:: He places his hand on her stomach but she slaps his hand away:: Pierce: ...A while ago---we've been working things out since then...wait, she's napping? Why? Nina:: Oh, so now you want to play dad and do the rub-a-dub? I don't think so, you're daughter is somewhere in the Manor and you need to go talk to her. :: She fixes her shirt and throws her hair back:: Price:: He gets up and walks towards the entrance and turns around halfway to Pierce:: Usually, when people get engage they have some sort of an announcement. You know Pierce, you mine as well just move in with her and forget you even have brothers. :: He walks away:: Pierce: Maybe you'll RSVP to the wedding this time! ::He watches Price leave, and sighs, heading up the stairs:: Pace:: He puts his hand up:: I think I was the one that didn't RSVP! Price:: SEE, THAT'S HOW WELL YOU KNOW WHO RSVP'D OR NOT! :: He screams from the kitchen:: Nina:: Can you go and talk to Piper? --- Pace, she's becoming bad..like me when I was a teenager..like how you were when you were a teenager. She's using her powers in school, she's saying spells left and right. She's always in the kitchen brewing up a potion, and is starting to pick on other kids at school. She's becoming rebellious and I think it's because you aren't around anymore.. Pace:: Huh? That's crazy..Piper is a good girl and she knows where I live and has my number and can come see me whenever she wants. Plus all teens are rebellious, she'll grow out of it.. Nina:: She closes her eyes as she rubs her forhead:: No, Pace...she won't. :: She opens her eyes and puts her hand on her chest:: I've been trying really hard..I've been trying to be both parents and it isn't easy. Do you know how hard it is to be two people at the same time? --- I'm pregnant Pace and you haven't been there for me at all.. Pace:: He looks into her eyes and notices that her eyes are becoming watery:: Nina.. Nina:: NO! I've giving you my all, I've been there for you when times were brick hard and this is how you repay me?! By abandoning me..your daughter and your son!? Do you know how much it hurts when she tells me that she hates me? Wishes I was never her mother, or that you were never her father?! Do you know how many times she cries at night wishing to be normal, to have a normal family?! Pace:: I know..I do..:: He steps forward:: Nina:: She quickly steps back:: No, no you don't...you just wish you knew. I've been with angry with you for so long now, ever since you told me what's been happening. :: Tears begin to fall down her cheek:: Maybe, just maybe you would come home one night and kiss your daughter good night. Lay by my side until the sun comes back up. But no, you don't come at all...and ever since you lost this Blue Phoenix, you just went down. I'm not going to feel sorry for you Pace because you don't have the powers you wish you had. :: She puts her hand out to stop him before he talks:: You don't want to be around me because I have more power then you...I know, I can tell by just looking in your eyes..:: She wipes the tears away as she sniffs:: Pace:: You don't know how much it tears me inside to know that I'm not home with you. To know that I have to give up my family, the family that I dreamt about so I could fight another big bad. But you know, you know how my destiny is...you knew it before you even laid eyes on me. I can't just leave my brothers and I don't want to leave you but you're not making it easier on me neither. --- Why can't you just ask how my day was, how my life has been...maybe you're the one that feels sad because your pregnant and can't go out hunting Demons like you always do. But don't you dare put this shit on me! Nina:: Then who am I going to put it on?! Huh?! Who, Pace?! GIVE ME A NAME!! I'M THE ONE THAT IS RAISING OUR DAUGHTER, ME! I DON'T ASK YOU FOR SHIT AND NEVER WILL BE AND THAT'S SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET SHIT FROM SOMEONE WHO IS SHIT!! :: She pushes him back hard:: Pace:: He stumbles back and regains his posture:: Don't push me Nina...all the time you had to bitch you pick now, why? Because of what is going on? Huh..And you want a name? Try Xander... Nina:: She squints her eyes:: Pace:: Yeah...I know about him, two years now, no? He could perfectly be the father of that child. So before you try to bang on someone, make sure it's the person you're banging..because it's not me. Nina:: She slaps him across the face:: Pace:: He turns around and slaps her back:: Nina:: She stumbles back and grabs onto the wall so she won't fall:: She touches her lip and looks to her fingers to see blood:: She turns around quickly and forms an energy ball:: No man puts their hands on me and lives...not even you. :: She throws the energy ball:: Pace:: He steps back and before it could hit him it fades away:: Nina:: She looks over:: Pace:: He gasp and looks over to Piper:: Piper...baby, your mom and I--- Piper:: SHUT UP! :: She walks over to her mother:: The next time you hit my mother, it will be the last thing you will ever touch--do you understand me? --- I hate you, I will always hate you...I don't ever want to see you again...never. :: She takes her mothers hand and fades away with her:: Pace:: He stops breathing:: He looks around nervously and walks over to the dresser:: He grabs hold of it and looks around:: He gasp for air and turns around knocking the chair over:: He grabs the chair and throws it into the television:: He kicks the coffee table over and punches three holes into the wall:: He falls onto his knees and burries his face in his hands as he cries:: Alex: ::She sits up suddenly in a gasp---her eyes watery:: Pierce: ::He looks over to her, climbing onto the bed next to her:: Baby? Alex: ::She breathes suddenly---looking to Pierce, her hair sweaty and her eyes filled with tears:: Oh...Pierce... Pierce: ::He brushes some of the hair out of her face:: Are you all right? ::He inspects her, trying to sense and help her:: What happened? Alex: ...::She looks down, swallowing, as she looks back up---her eyes blinking from pure white back to her irises and pupils appearing:: Pierce: ::He tilts his head a few times:: Alex? Alex: ::Her hands tremble as she tries to collect herself:: ...I...uh...earlier...Piper was standing...by your Book...and um...being rude...and...I had one of...my headache things...and I felt like...suddenly that anger was intensified...like...towards everything---like...as if I could feel it coming...but couldn't... Pierce: ::He holds her hands, trying to help her settle down:: Alex: ...And...I took a nap...because I...my head was all shaken up...and I couldn't...remember Becky was in the room with us...and...uh...I was sleeping...these weird...really powerful dreams...and emotions...and suddenly it just all hit me---and....::She swallows again:: ...I think...something's happened...to...::She concentrates:: Piper...and Pace...and Nina... Pierce: ::He closes his eyes for a moment:: ...I...::He looks back to her:: ...I don't know...how you...could...any of this...but...you're right...::He jumps off the bed--but stops himself:: ...I need to help Pace...::He stops between the door and Alex:: ...Are you all right? Alex: ::She tries to sit back again:: I'm...I'm fine, help your brother...the baby's fine too...don't worry...we're fine...I'll be here when you get back---I'll just try to lay down again...collect my thoughts... Pierce: ::He nods quickly, giving her a kiss on the lips, and hurrying out the room, down the hallway, and hurrying down the stairs:: Pace---Pace! Pierce: ::He stops at the end of the stairs---hearing Price's low voice and the murmured sounds of Pace----he takes a few gentle steps into the living room, finding Pace and Price sitting on the floor:: Oh...Pace, I'm so sorry... Pace:: He looks over to Pierce and looks back down:: Price:: He rubs Pace's back and looks up to Pierce:: Pierce: ::He slowly sits down beside Price and Pace, placing his hand on Pace's shoulder:: Becky: ::She walks through a forest-like area, stopping as she sees all of the other teenagers chatting and practicing:: Michael:: He helps Kevin focus before Kevin throws the energyball at his target:: Just keep your eye on the target, no one is here except for you and that wooden dummy. Okay...just breathe and throw.. Kevin:: He throws the energy ball and smiles when the energy ball hits the dummy:: Neo: ::He approaches Becky and keeps his distance from her:: Hey---are we cool about earlier? Michael:: He turns around and watches Neo and Becky:: He folds his arms:: Becky: ::She smiles:: Yeah, no prob...::She approaches Michael:: Hey... Michael:: Sup..how's everyone treating you? Becky: ...Still...still. ::She tries to smile but sighs instead---:: It's hard---you know, we all found each other...fought so much...only to end up here, learning and bettering ourselves...and here I feel like everyone's fighting against me. ...But I'm...good, I guess. Neo: ::He approaches them:: Raymond's still in the attic I guess? Becky: ::She looks up quickly, smiling quickly:: Oh yeah---I guess he is. Neo: ::He stares at her for a moment, then nods:: I'll go get him...::He turns--disappearing in a cloud of smoke:: Becky: ::She looks back to Michael, biting her lip:: Yeah... Michael:: Becky, no one is fighting against you...we're all family here. People are just shooked because your power grew to another level. It'll be okay in a couple of days... Becky: ::She smiles genuinely, finding comfort in his words:: Thanks Michael...you're...you were born for this...leading people, you know? I'll...::She looks around, seeing the other teenagers training:: I'll be fine, no worries---::She takes off the pouch around her wrist and hands it to him by the strings:: Here, you wear this---I doubt I need any power-stamina-boosts... ::Neo and Raymond appear off in the distance, Raymond setting the box of potion capsules down and walking off with Neo:: Michael:: He takes the pouch and slightly touches her finger:: He flies back and falls onto the ground unconsious:: His vains become visible:: Becky: ::He looks back to the small pouch---then to Michael:: MICHAEL?! Michael?! Becky: ::She falls down to the ground---afraid to touch him:: Michael?! ::She looks around:: Help! Someone help! Greg:: He turns away from Travis and looks over to Michael on the ground:: MICHAEL?! :: He runs over with Travis:: Raymond: ::He hurries over, with the box of potions, quickly finding a bright red potion---uncorking it and pouring it into Michael's mouth:: Katrina:: She runs over and looks down to Becky:: Away from him!! :: She throws her hand as she uses her telekenesis to send Becky ten feet away:: Becky: ::She flies off the ground and flies back---rolling through the dust:: Neo: ::He follows---looking around as more teenagers run over---he stops as his eyes follow Becky:: Becky: ::She pushes herself up, trying to hide the worry and anguish in her face---aware that Neo's staring at her:: Michael:: He gasp for air as his chest lifts up:: He falls back onto the ground:: He looks around trying to regain his memory:: Raymond: ::He helps Michael up:: Hey...take it easy... Katrina:: STAY AWAY FROM HIM!! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT EVIL!! Neo: ::He hurries over to Katrina:: Hey! --She didn't mean to-- Michael:: Uh... Becky: ::She slowly stands up, taking steps away from everyone:: Katrina:: I saw it, she touched him on purpose..she wants his ability, she wants his essence! Michael:: He places his hand to his forehead:: I....I.... Raymond: Katrina, shut it...::He looks down to Michael:: Do you remember anything? Neo: We don't know anything---I'll go get Pace...or someone... Becky: ::She backs away---her eyes filled with tears:: ...What...what did I do? ::She looks down, seeing the pouch she had handed Michael under his foot:: Jace:: He looks over to Neo:: Last I saw, Pace was in a bad state of mind..he shouldn't be rocked right now.. Neo: ...Price? Pierce? Raymond: We can handle it---let's not worry them...they have a lot on their chests... Neo: ::He nods, looking around to the other teenagers---then frantically, not seeing Becky anywhere--:: Becky? ::He looks around, then quickly to Katrina:: Great Katrina---you scared her off... Raymond: If she hurt him on purpose... Neo: ::He looks to Michael, seeing he's still in a daze:: I don't think she did... Katrina:: She did...I seen it, I saw it with my own eyes! :: Her third eye becomes visible then vanishes:: Raymond: ::He glances up to Katrina, then back to Michael:: Just take it easy... Neo: Okay---::He looks around:: Break time everyone---::He looks around as his eyes glow--:: ::The forest area glows to become the basement:: Raymond: Okay Michael---let's...let's just get you upstairs... Michael:: No...I think I'm going to just rest...:: He slowly walks over to a loveseat and sits down:: He leans over and lays his head on the arm:: Price:: He walks out of the kitchen with cup of hot tea:: He walks into the main hall and stops:: He looks around and stays still:: He faces the door and glares at it:: Demon:: He appears a couple of feet behind Price:: He forms an energy ball:: Price:: He looks to the corner of his eye and turns around quickly throwing the hot tea in the Demon's face:: Demon:: AHH!! :: He stumbles back as he tries to wipe the tea from his eyes:: Price:: He breaks the cup over the Demon's head and kicks him in the chest:: Demon:: He stumbles back into a wall and throws an energy ball at Price:: Price:: He throws his left hand freezing it:: He puts his right hand up and absorbs the energy ball:: Demon:: He throws another one:: Pierce: ::He runs into the dining room from the sitting room---throwing his hand at the Demon---a bright burst of electricity exploding at the Demon---:: Price:: He throws his right hand blowing the energy ball up and throws his left hand to send the absorbed energy ball back:: Demon:: He flies up and explodes:: Pierce: ::He looks up to Price:: Combo attack?

Pierce: ...Freeze...time---::He struggles to keep his strength:: Isaac:: He runs downstairs from the noise and stops at the end of the stairway as a Demon shimmers in:: Demon:: He smiles at Isaac and throws an energy ball at him:: Isaac:: He gasps--raising his hands quickly--:: Price:: NO! :: He freezes the energy ball:: Isaac:: He stumbles back and falls onto the floor with his eyes wide open:: Price:: He throws his hand at the Demon:: Demon:: He screams as he blows up---:: ::---Pierce suddenly grasps for his head as the Demon explodes---a powerful wave of bright energy suddenly exploding through the Manor:: Price:: He flies back into the wall and falls onto his side:: Isaac:: He slides on the floor into a wall:: Pierce: ::He falls back---trying to gain control of everything:: Something's---happened! ::He looks around---finally opening his eyes---as his eyes are filled with bright light:: ::A blast of energy---a combination of light, wind, and psychic energy flows through the Manor flowing from Pierce:: Price:: He looks over to Isaac:: ORB TO YOUR ROOM!! Isaac:: He nods and orbs away:: Price:: He gets up and forces himself through the energy:: Pierce! DO YOU TRUST ME?! Pierce: ::He looks up---trying to control the pulse of energy----his eyes unable to see beyond the sudden energy:: Yes! ::He tries to sense but can only seem to hear Price's voice:: Price:: Just trust me...:: He orbs away and orbs infront of Pierce:: He grabs Pierce's head and absorbs Pierce's power and energy:: Pierce: ::He gasps as his vision returns---:: Price---::He grabs onto Price's forearms:: ...It's...::He falls forward:: It's...::He falls unconscious from the exertion of power:: Price:: He lets go and stumbles back:: His eyes closed:: Price:: He opens his eyes and they flash a bright white:: He blinks and they're back to normal:: He walks over to Pierce and lifts him up:: He walks to the couch and lays him down:: What's... Price:: He turns around when two dozen Demons appear:: He looks at them not worried, scared, or unsure of what to do:: Demon:: He creates an energy ball along with the other Demons:: He grins:: It's sad that you're going to die by our hands and not Nick's. Price:: No..it's not. :: He throws his hands once the demons throw their energy balls:: ::The energy balls slow down surrounding Price:: Price:: He smirks to the Demons as they move in slow motion:: He unfreezes the energy balls and they hit him:: They absorb into him:: Demon:: They move towards him extremely slowly:: Price:: He leans back quickly and spreads his arms:: Energy shoots out of his body and grabs ahold of the Demons:: AHHH!!!!!!! :: The demons explode :: Price:: He leans forward quickly and looks around :: He breathes heavily and turns to Pierce on the couch:: He falls onto the floor and leans against the back of the couch exhausted:: Pierce: ::He opens his eyes---suddenly conscious---sitting up quickly--everything around him moving slightly:: ...Price?! ::He looks over, seeing his brother:: ...::He looks around:: Pierce: ...::He pushes himself towards Price:: ...Something...hit me...::He studies Price---feeling something different about him:: ...::He looks around---feeling a deep pain forming in his gut:: They're...::He focuses:: ...Gone. Becky... ::He pants to catch his breath:: ...And...Alex... Pierce: ::He pulls himself closer to Price---sensing around the Manor---as if the entire Manor was suddenly purified from the sudden evil energy that had come to his mind---:: Price:: He opens his eyes and smiles at Pierce:: Hey...I think the pest are now truly, going extinct.. Pierce: ::He looks up to Price, his face flushed:: ...I...::He focuses to look directly into Price's eyes:: I can feel...everything right now...::He swallows---flinching:: ...Isaac is with Adam...safe...::He tries to breath:: ...And...I had felt a sudden overwhelming...feeling of evil---like those Demons were just an appetizer...::He struggles to keep his concentration on Price:: ...So...I---I don't know but I felt this huge sensation of power in me...and...::He tries to remember:: ...Ugh...the...teenagers weren't affected...they're in the Basement... Price:: Downtown...we need to go downtown... Price:: We need to go..NOW! :: They orb away:: Price:: The orbs fade away as they appear in the middle of the street:: He watches as people run and scream:: :: A car crashes into a store and explodes:: Pierce: ::He holds Price's arm as their wounds and clothes heal while they witness the scene:: Price:: He looks around and notices how much chaos is going on:: How much pain, how much evil, how much hurt:: He turns around and watches a man put a gun to a young womans head:: He watches as she curses at him violently:: He turns his head quickly once the gun went off:: This is crazy....this is just, crazy..

Price:: Shh...I need to concentrate...:: He closes his eyes and raises his hands up slowly:: Pierce: ::He looks around the area---as he notices blood trikling from his nose---he quickly wipes his nose with his forearm and looks around as he begins to sense more and more of the demons---beginning to feel more and more of the evil emanating from around them:: Price:: He inhales and exhales slowly as he flicks his fingers:: :: Everything and everyone slow down and then freeze:: Price:: He looks around to see everyone frozen:: He looks up and notices that birds a frozen also, along with an airplane:: He looks around and notices that there is no wind:: Pierce: ::He looks quickly to Price:: That...feels much better... ::He looks around and feels his feet lift off the ground:: ...I can feel...all of the demons...I mean all of them right now...

Greg:: Becky is missing.. Price:: What? Greg:: She tried to kill Michael and then she just..vanished. Neo: She didn't-- Billie:: I've got her, she's in my care. :: She smiles as she folds her arms glaring at Price:: Greg:: He looks over to Billie:: Price:: I'm going to kill you.. Pierce: ::He quickly stands up--placing his hand out as the teenagers shift away from Billie:: Billie---::He looks up---sensing for Pace:: Billie:: You can try...:: She looks over to Pierce:: Hey P, how you feeling? A little out of it I see....so is your fiancee..:: She smirks and turns to the staircase:: Pace:: He steps off the last stair and keeps his eye on Billie:: Pierce: ::He stands opposite Pace---sensing around as he focuses on the room:: Billie:: She looks over to Pierce:: Killing Alex would be the second time I killed a lady friend of yours...it's actually fun. I'm thinking about stabbing her and throwing her out the attic window how is that? Pierce: You already did the attic-window thing, try something new. ::He looks Pace directly in the eyes---then back to Billie:: Billie:: Yeah..true...how about slicing her throat infront of Adam and then gutting Adam...from navel to nose..:: She cocks her eyebrows and grins:: Pace, do it and I'll kill Piper so fast you won't have time to say woosha. :: She looks over to him:: Now, if I killed Piper then Nina would kill you...then Price or Pierce, maybe both---would kill Nina. Then there would be no more Charmed Ones....then I think I'll send in every single upper level demon in house to kill you all. :: She looks over to Pierce and Price:: Does that sound like a plan? Pierce: ...::He smirks at the word 'Demon':: If only you knew... ::He eyes shoot to Pace---seeing Pace smirk instantly as well:: Billie:: Ooh, Pierce you're cooking something up with Pace, I CAN SMELL IT!! :: She runs her fingers through her hair:: Oooh, and it smells so raw..:: She appears infront of Pierce and grabs his groin:: She licks his neck and looks him in the eyes:: Can I have it daddy? :: She looks over and reappears back to where she was before:: Pierce: ::His eyes stare coldly at her as the sky darkens--the natural light filling the room darkening as well:: Billie, I don't think your precious elements are on your side anymore. Billie:: I don't need them..:: She notices that the brothers eyes are glowing:: She shakes her head in disbelief:: Can't be.. Price:: What's wrong?...Scared? Pace:: He walks close to Price and Pierce:: ::Neo looks to Greg and suddenly both teenagers disappear in smoke:: Billie:: Scared? Never... Pierce: ::He stands between his brothers--taking their hands:: Well Billie...will you let us set you free? Nick:: He walks out of the darkness with Payne:: ::The entire Manor begins to shake as if the elements and all of the magic in the Manor were concentrating to the Brothers:: Payne:: It has begun...the weapon is here.... Nick:: He keeps his eyes on the brothers:: Billie:: Nick...:: She grabs his hand and disappears with him in red smoke:: Pierce: Boys... ::A circle of lit candles appear around Payne---the entire Manor glowing in a bright light:: The Charmed Ones: The Power Of Three Will Set Us Free!! Payne:: NO!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!! I -- CANNOT BE VANQUISHED!!!!! :: He screams in agony and his black cloak is burnt:: His burnt, scally, rotten body exposed--:: He flies back and explodes in black fire:: Price:: He smiles and zips up Isaac's back pack and hands it to him:: Isaac:: Dad...promise me that when it's over you'll come for me. Please... Price:: I promise..:: He hugs Isaac tight:: Isaac:: He hugs back:: I love you Dad.. Price:: I love you too son..:: He lets go and turns around:: He faces the two Elders:: Now, lets just get this clear that the only reason he is going with you is because of what happened earlier today..I don't want him to get caught in any cross fires..when the battle is done and over with..I will call for him. Isaac:: He looks at the Elders and steps out from behind his father:: Pierce: ::He walks over to the Elder Alexandria and walks his son to her, hugging him and looking him over:: ...Blessed Be... Price:: He looks down:: Go on.. Isaac:: He walks slowly to the Elder Alexandria:: He stands next to her and looks back to his father:: I'll tell mom you said hi, okay? Price:: He nods:: Okay son... Pierce: ::He steps back and tries to keep his stance:: ...So Alexandria...I suppose we're older now...we watched all our bases? ::The Elders, Isaac, and Adam orb away in beautiful blue and white lights:: Pierce: ::He looks over to his brothers:: I...met her months and months ago...didn't really remember her 'til now. Price:: He walks out of Isaac's room and walks downstairs:: He hears commotion from the living room:: He walks to the living room to see it packed with all of the teenagers:: What's going on? Michael:: He stands up:: You're exposed, that is whats going on. :: He points to the television:: Price:: He walks over and stands infront of the television:: Someone turn it up! Katrina:: She squints and the volume goes up:: Pierce: ::He stops---reading the lower marquee for some reason:: Billionaire Xavier Cartier...Vi'Zini decapitated... Television:: "We have been showing this video of the two of brothers, Price and Pierce Halliwell as they use supernatural powers in public... You may know Price Halliwell for his magazine, C.O.3. Magazine, and Pierce Halliwell for his famous restaurant, Rainy Days. The third brother, Pace Halliwell owns downtown club, P3, but there is no evidence showing the youngest brother using a power like his brothers. Here is a word from our Senator... Senator Brown:: We are aware that there are people like us, who look like us, talk like us, act like us. These people have powers to control our every move. To see the future, to freeze time, to move objects with their mind, to teleport. It has come to my attention that the Halliwell Manor is a home for power. The brothers will be stopped before they could put us underneath their spell...the city needs to stay calm and leave this matter in the hands of the feds. That is all.. Price:: He glares at the t.v and it explodes:: Pace:: He looks over to Price:: Price.. Price:: He looks over to Pace:: Michael:: What do we do? Pierce: ...Price, go back in time? Price:: No..we can't....that video of us using our power is more then eight years old. Pace:: WHAT?! How can that be? Price:: Nick...:: He turns to face his brothers:: Nick is doing this to us.. Pierce: ...Michael---mass-persuasion? ...I don't understand...what about the Cleaners-- Pace:: He looks to Pierce:: Vanquished... Price:: He looks out the window and watches as people begin to walk towards the Manor:: He looks over to Pierce and Pace:: It's okay.. Pierce: ...We've done this before...but...Nick's undone all of our charms on the house...I don't know how strong new ones will be...they were our most powerful... Michael:: NO! No it's not okay! This is just another distraction! They're going to kill us, the people and Nick..we need to move, now! Pace:: Wait--wait, who died and made you boss? Michael:: Scared?! No, it's about safety and we need to keep us all safe. They could come in here guns a blast, tear gas, the whole nine yards. Are you thinking straight or is your head crooked? Pierce: We've done this before---::He focuses and quickly touches the wall---the entire Manor flashing for a moment---:: There... Natalia:: Yeah..go ahead Pace, handle him. :: She raises her eyebrow as she stares at Pierce:: Pierce: Pace, Price...show them what we've done within the last two hours...that should help them see where we've coming from... Price:: No...everyone shut up and listen! Pace:: He looks over to Price:: Michael:: He steps back and faces Price:: Price:: We've been doing this shit for too long...for almost three decades. I've been living here since I was 17 years of age. I'm not going anywhere and neither you guys...we brought you in to protect you, to train you and that is what we're going to do. So what if Nick was at the drawing board making a plan when my brothers and I were learning how to get along when we first came together. It just shows us that he isn't so powerful after all...how is someone so powerful going to take almost three decades to create a plan to destroy three men. I'm not scared of him and neither should you be. Divided we're strong, but together we're stronger... Pace:: He nods his head:: Pierce: ::He nods as well:: We are stronger together. Price:: I'm tired of hiding what we are, who we are. It's just a matter of time that they'd find out and it sucks that they had to find out this way..but they did. I'm not going to run, I'm not going to hide. We've saved this world so many times and saved so many innocents. It's about time that they realize that not everything is normal. They need to stop being afraid of what they don't know. I don't want my son, nephew and niece and their children having to hide who they're destined to be. So if you're ready to stand strong for who are are, for who we were born and destined to be..:: He raises his fist into the air:: Who's with me? Pace:: He puts his fist in the air:: Pierce: ::He raises his fist too:: Neo: ::He raises his fist with Raymond:: Katrina:: She looks around puts her fist in the air along with Terri & Travis:: Greg:: He raises his fist and smiles:: Raymond: ::He raises his fist too--tightening around the potion in his hand:: Price:: He looks over to Pierce and smiles as he puts his fist in the air:: He nods and looks back to see every teenager with their fist in the air:: Michael:: It's about time...:: He puts his fist in the air:: Pierce: ::He raises his fist too:: Katrina:: What about Becky and Beth? Price:: They've gone into the darkside...we need to be careful with Becky..do not get close enough to her. Beth, smash her ear drums... Katrina::......Hell yeah..... Neo: ::He nods, raising his fist higher:: Pierce: ...From this point on don't hesitate---just go with your gut feeling... Larry:: I have to pee.. Price:: He looks around to see who said that:: Price:: He opens the door and walks inside:: He walks to the book and closes it:: He touches the triquentra gently and picks it up:: He turns and smirks to see Kristina:: What are you doing here? Kristina:: Well, I had to come and witness the legendary speech. Your speech changed the world.. Price:: How so? Kristina:: Can't say, but if you play the cards right...you'll find out soon enough. :: She smiles:: Price:: You know, I'm old enough to be your father...ew, I can't believe I just said that.. Kristina:: She laughs:: It's cool...but I came here to show you something. After this, we will never meet again. Price:: What is it? Kristina:: She places her hand on his gently:: They are the trigger...you are the bullet... Price:: He opens his eyes:: He looks around for Kristina:: ::Pierce appears in the sitting room---the sky is darkened still---a thunderstorm brewing---causing the winds to blow all across the west coast:: Pierce: ::He pushes himself up from the cold panelling---looking around to see every window and door in the living room and conservatory wide open---the leaves blowing in:: Pierce: ::He slowly stands up--his eyes glowing gently of bright light---his clothes damaged but slowly morphing to their full form:: Pierce: ::He slowly makes his way towards the front door---his body healing as he morphs---he launches forward and grabs ahold of the front doors---pulling as he phases through while they launch open---a gust of wind blasting into the manor----:: Pierce: ::He falls down suddenly onto the pavement outside of the manor---sensing the invisible protective field hovering over the land----:: Alex... Pierce: ::Tears fall from his eyes as the white light peaking through the sky glistens on him as he lays down before the front steps---leaves blowing against his side:: Pierce: Alex...::He turns---his body flinching as he lays tired and exhausted---all the light from his body dimming:: ...I will find you... Pierce: ::He focuses as he closes his eyes suddenly----:: ::A dark figure stands before Pierce's feet, gently stepping out of the house, and stopping at his head:: ::The dark figure looks down to Pierce and slowly transforms as the darkness reveals an astral form of Pierce standing before his true body:: ::Pierce suddenly disappears in light as he appears in his bed---the windows and doors in the Manor suddenly closing:: ::Pierce lays still in his bed---his eyes suddenly opening:: Pierce: I Will Find You. |
