A few weeks later…

Leo, Piper, Chris, Mel, Phoebe, Cole, Andy, Prue, baby Wyatt, baby Chris, and baby Mel had returned to the manor. Paige had moved into Richard's house. Prue and Andy were now in Prue's and Paige's old room. Piper, Leo, and their kids shared Piper's old room. Phoebe and Cole were in Phoebe's old room. Chris and Mel changed the attic into their room, so they could also watch over the Book of Shadows. Prue, Phoebe, Paige, Richard, Andy, and Cole were off at their jobs. Chris and Mel were in the attic trying to find a way to restore Chris's powers. Piper was sleeping her room, while Leo watched her and his three children.

Attic. Chris and Mel looked through the Book of Shadows.

"I found it. This will restore your powers." said Mel.

"But we have to be near him to say the spell. Then we can vanquish him ." said Chris.

"We better get Dad then." said Mel.

Mel and Chris run out. They head into Piper's room. Leo sees them, and walks out to meet them.

"Did you find anything?" asked Leo.

"Yes. We have to be near Barbas to say this spell. Then Chris gets his powers back." said Mel.

"We figured that." said Leo.

"Barbas must be working with Gideon." said Chris.

"All we need is proof and we can take care of both of them." said Mel.

A jingle is heard, and Leo orbs away in a swirl of blue lights.

"I'll go check the book for Barbas's vanquishing potion. You stay in there with Mom, Wyatt, and mini us." said Mel.

Mel orbed away, heading back into the attic. Chris smirked, walking inside. Wyatt's shield was up, protecting him and his two siblings. Piper was gone. Chris ran in.

"Piper! Where are you?" said Chris.

Barbas appears, invisible to Chris.

"Your greatest fear is you won't be able to save your mother from dying." said Barbas.

Chris runs to the bathroom to see his mom lying on the floor bleeding. Barbas, remains invisible and walks over to the three babies, and tries to get through the shield.

"MEL! LEO! SAM! ANYONE!" yelled Chris.

Piper's spirit rose into the air, hovering over her body. Chris collapses to the ground, and wipes the tears from his face.

"No. You can't be gone." said Chris.

Barbas turns solid, and throws an energyball at Chris.

"CHRIS! LOOK OUT!" yelled Piper.

Chris dodged the energyball.

"Foolish boy. Your mother is dead, and now your brother is mine." said Barbas.

Barbas turns to the three babies in the crib. Chris pulls out the paper from his pocket reciting a spell. Barbas grabs his chest in pain as white lights fly from Barbas's chest and hit Chris's chest. Both are flung in opposite directions, and land on the ground with a thud. Mel orbs in. She looks around, and runs over to Piper, and heals her. Piper floats back down into her body, and sits up, gasping for air.

"I may not be able to get through the shield, but I can still take them." said Barbas, shimmering out with all three babies.

"NO!" yelled Piper.

"Mel. Stay here with Mom, and call Leo. I'll get everyone else." said Chris, orbing away.

A half hour later…

In the attic, Chris and Mel are looking through the Book of Shadows. Prue and Phoebe are writing spells. Piper makes the potions, while Paige scries for Barbas. Cole and Andy sit on the sofa.

"Where is Leo?" asked Piper.

"Maybe Barbas got to him first. Or he's busy with the Elders. We have to stop Barbas and save Wyatt, mini-Mel, and mini-me. Or he could turn all three of them evil." said Chris.

"Gideon and Barbas must be working together." said Piper.

"We just need the proof so the Elders will believe us. Are we ready?" asked Chris.

"Yes. The potions are done." said Piper, bottling up the potions.

"So is the spell." said Phoebe.

"Paige, any luck finding Barbas?" asked Prue.

"Not yet." said Paige, holding the crystal above the map.

The crystal stops in the middle of the city.

"Let's go." said Paige.

Cole and Andy stand up.

"No. You stay. There could be darklighters. Mel can heal, and if we need you we'll call. Besides you need to tell Leo and Richard when they show up." said Paige.

Before they can protest, Mel and Chris orb out, followed by the 4 Charmed Ones.

Warehouse. The group orbs in.

"Maybe the crystal was wrong. Barbas isn't anywhere to be seen." said Piper.

An energyball whizzes past them, barely missing them.

"Show yourself!" said Phoebe.

Barbas shimmers in, with several other demons. Piper throws up her hands, blowing up 5 of them. Prue and Phoebe begin throwing potions, destroying others. One throws an energyball at them.

"Energyball!" said Paige.

It appeared in her hand, and she threw it at Barbas. Barbas shimmered out, and it hit a demon behind him. Barbas shimmered back in, clapping his hands.

"Wonderful show. But you'll never find your children that way, Piper." said Barbas.

"Tell me where my children are right now!" said Piper.

A baby's cry is heard. Piper runs down the alley, followed by Chris and Mel. Phoebe throws a potion at Barbas, and Prue says the spell. Barbas screams, as he blows up. The rest of the group runs down the alley after Piper, Chris, and Mel. They see a baby and run up to the baby.

"It's Mel!" said Piper, hugging her baby girl.

"Where's Chris and Wyatt?" asked Mel.

"Gideon must have them." said Prue.

"Come on. Let's get back to the manor. We might have a better luck if we get Leo with us." said Paige.

Piper holds onto her daughter, as the group orbs away, heading back to the manor. A woman in red robes walks by carrying baby Chris.

"Soon you shall now the pain I feel." said the demon, shimmering out.

At the manor, the group orbs in, and begins calling for Leo. He orbs in.

"Finally!" said Piper.

"Sorry, I was busy with the Elders." said Leo.

"Barbas just kidnapped your kids. We got Melinda back, but Wyatt and Chris are still missing." said Andy.

"Where's Barbas?" asked Leo.

"We vanquished him. But we have to find Gideon if we're going to save Wyatt and Chris." said Piper.

"Leo, can you sense them?" asked Paige.

Leo closes his eyes, and frowns, then nods.

"I sense Wyatt. He's in the Underworld. I can't sense Chris, but maybe we can find out where Chris is." said Leo.

"Andy, Cole. Stay here and take care of me. Richard and Bianca will be here soon." said Mel.

Chris and Mel orb out. Piper grabs Leo's hand, and they orb out. Prue and Phoebe grab Paige's hands and orb out.

Underworld. Barbas appears, and clutches his chest, gasping for air. He morphs into Gideon, as the real Barbas walks out from the shadows, smiling evilly.

"You played me very well. But if the sisters and Leo discover I'm alive, and you helped me, then neither of us will survive." said Barbas.

"Maybe. But we need to make sure of that." said Gideon.

"Chris did get his powers back, but that's a minor set back, considering that spell didn't just steal his powers. It's slowly killing him with untraceable darklighter poison. Only it's been altered so whitelighter magic can't heal it." thought Barbas.

"They're coming. Hide." said Gideon.

Barbas shimmers out, as Gideon runs to Wyatt. Wyatt orbs away, as the group orbs in. Wyatt orbs right into Leo's arms.

"Gideon! I knew you were working with Barbas. Now I've got the proof." said Leo.

"You won't live to show it." said a darklighter, walking in.

A darklighter arrow hits Leo in the back, knocking him to the ground. Another hits Gideon right in the chest. Gideon gasps for air, realizing Barbas had betrayed him.

"By the way, Gideon here killed your other son. He thought he was Wyatt. They both look so much alike." said the darklighter.

Piper raises her hands blowing up the darklighter. Prue pulls out the arrow, and Mel heals Leo. Mel grabs Wyatt in her arms, and orbs out with Leo, Chris, and baby Wyatt.

"Wait. Don't leave me here." said Gideon.

"After what you and Barbas have done to my kids, you deserve to die." said Piper.

Gideon is orbed out by white lights.

"Looks like the Elders called him. I hope he gets what he deserves." said Paige.

"Come one. We have to find them." said Piper.

The four sisters join hands and orb out.

Throne room. Barbas walks in, kneeling before the red cloaked woman.

"You have done well, old friend." said the woman.

"My debt to you is repaid. The child is now yours. With the poison soon he will perish, convincing them their middle child is dead. Until it's too late." said Barbas.

Barbas shimmers out, followed by the female demon.

At the manor, the group orbs in. Piper is now in tears. Leo hands Wyatt to Paige, and hugs Piper, trying to calm her down.

"What's wrong?" asked Mel.

"Gideon and Barbas were working together. Barbas is dead, and hopefully Gideon will be too." said Paige.

"Hopefully?" asked Andy.

"He was shot by a darklighter. The darklighter told us Gideon killed Chris. But we stopped him from killing Wyatt." said Paige.

"But Chris is still alive. Then shouldn't…" said Mel.

Chris doubles over in pain, grabbing his chest, and collapses to the ground. Leo and Piper run over to him.

"No. We can't lose you both." said Leo.

"This can't happen. Leo! Heal him!" said Piper.

Leo put his hands on Chris, but nothing happened.

"It's not working." said Leo.

"Try harder!" said Piper.

"Combine with me. I'm half-whitelighter, and half-witch. Maybe that can help." said Paige.

Paige joined Leo, and they tried to heal Chris. Even Andy and Cole tried, but nothing worked.

"Mel. Barbas. He…"

Chris coughed.

"Chris, please snap out of it!" said Mel, crying.

Bianca shimmers in, and rushes over to Chris.

"No. I can't lose you now." said Bianca, as tears streaked down her face.

"I'm sorry, Bianca." said Chris.

He pulls her into a kiss. She pulls away, and wipes the tears from her face. Everyone else is now in tears.

"I love you." said Chris.

Chris suddenly vanishes in a swirl of black lights.

"The Elders." said Paige.

The four sisters, Leo, Andy, and Cole orb out, leaving Bianca and Mel to watch baby Wyatt and baby Mel..

AN: This Seer is the seer from Late Season 7, who was played by Charisma Carpenter.

Underworld. Seer's domain. The female demon walked in, removing her hood, and stepping into the light. She has black skin, but a mask covers half of her face. She had been injured in training with her brother. She was going to avenge him. And to do so she needed the power of the Grimwar. She smiled, as she held baby Chris. Chris is restrained on stone tables, nearby. She cuts the baby's finger, dropping some blood into a vial. She handed it to The Seer, who dropped it into the vat, making a potion. She handed it to the demon.

"Anika. You must be careful. The Charmed Ones are not easily beaten." said The Seer.

Anika smiled evilly, as she pried open the baby's mouth, forcing him to swallow the potion.

"But neither am I." said Anika.

Baby Chris's eyes turn black. Chris's eyes turn black. Chris's clothes transform into a black T-shirt, and black leather pants. Anika hands baby Chris over to The Seer, and forces the antidote down Chris's throat. Chris is healed, and Anika frees him from the stone table. Anika turns to face The Seer.

"Make sure he's never found." said Anika.

The Seer nods, shimmering out with baby Chris. Anika turns back, now facing Chris.

"Listen closely. Here's what I want you to do." said Anika.

Heaven. The group orbs in. They watch as Gideon dies in front of the Elders.

"He had it coming. Wyatt can still be saved. Destiny is not written in stone." said Penny.

"Where's Chris?" asked Piper.

"He's not here." said Penny.

"We saw him vanish in black lights." said Piper.

"Then a demon summoned him." said Penny.

"We better find him fast." said Prue.

The group orbs out.

Back at the manor, Bianca lies unconscious, as Richard is trying to wake her up. The table is on the ground. But both Mels, Wyatt, and the Book of Shadows are gone. Leo, Andy, and Cole run over to them. Paige and Leo heal Bianca.

"What happened?" asked Paige.

"I just got here. I heard trouble upstairs and thought you guys were in trouble. I ran up here to see Bianca on the ground, then you guys showed up." said Richard.

"Chris did this. He stole baby Wyatt, baby Mel, Mel, and the Book of Shadows." said Bianca.

"But how? Unless... our son is still alive. That's why he's not dead." said Piper.

"He was dying, Piper. They must have given him the antidote. But how was it given to him?" asked Leo.

"Barbas. He took Chris's powers with that dagger. It must have been poisoned with a new kind of darklighter poison. They must have forgotten about it when they shot you and Gideon." said Piper.

"They had to turn his baby self evil to turn Future Chris evil." said Paige.

"And they're going to do that to Mel and Wyatt." said Paige.

"We have to stop them." said Piper.

"They must be after the Grimwar. Leo and I will go make sure it's safe." said Paige.

Paige and Leo orb out.

Underworld. Throne room. Mel and Chris dark orbs in with the Book of Shadows, and kneel before Anika.

"Tell me where the Grimwar is." said Anika.

"I'll bring it to you, and that will show my loyalty to you, mistress." said Chris.

"Leave the book in my care." said Anika.

Chris handed the Book of Shadows to her, before dark orbing out. Mel dark orbs out, following her brother. Anika turned the pages in the book, smiling more evilly at each turn.

"Revenge is sweet." said Anika.

Island. Cave. Chris dark orbs in. He flings up the dirt, and soon finds the chest. He opens it, and takes out the Grimwar. He smirks and turns around to see Paige and Leo blocking the door.

"Chris. Stop. We know you're good." said Paige.

"Sorry, Paige. I know why Wyatt felt so happy. Being evil is so wonderful. Now I can finally be free." said Chris.

"No. You came back here to save Wyatt." said Leo.

"And now I'm making sure he stays evil." said Chris.

A darklighter crossbow appears in Chris's hands.

"I'll give you one chance to stand aside. Or I'll kill you." said Chris.

"Crossbow!" said Paige.

The crossbow vanishes from Paige's hand, and as it begins to materialize, she tosses it out the entrance of the cave. Mel dark orbs in, and sees Paige and Leo blocking the door. She sees the crossbow on the ground, and smirks. Mel picks up the crossbow.

"Clever. But not clever enough." said Mel.

Mel fires the crossbow, which hits Paige with an arrow. She falls to the ground.

"Paige!" said Leo, bending down to heal her.

Chris steps over Paige joining his evil sister, Mel.

"Tell Mom we said hi." said Chris.

The two siblings dark orb out with the Grimwar as Paige sits up, coughing.

"Now what are we going to do?" asked Paige.

"I don't know. But we better get home before they send more." said Leo.

Paige nods and orbs out. Leo looks around, and orbs out.

Underworld. Throne room. Chris and Mel dark orb in. Chris holds the Grimwar.

"Excellent job. You are definitely rewarded. Both of you are now members of my council. The other members are The Seer and Barbas." said Anika.

Barbas and The Seer walk in, and kneel before Anika.

"Are the babies hidden safely?" asked Anika.

"They'll never be found." said The Seer.

"We must begin preparations immediately for my coronation." said Anika.

Anika and The Seer shimmer out. Mel and Chris dark orb out.
