Chapter14: Defining Moments

The fight raged on, hour after hour. By the time the sun began to fade, the army of good had advanced on Wyatt's tower. Most of Wyatt's demons had been defeated, and Chris met up with Andy and the sisters at the base of the complex.

"What are we waiting for," Chris asked.

Andy could immediately sense something different. Chris seemed colder, and surer. His eyes seemed darker, and his voice was slightly robotic. All these changes worried Andy, but she ignored them. "Nothing. Let's go."

The sisters and Leo sensed an emotional shift when Andy and Chris looked at each other. It had been a shocking day for the four of the past, and they were all apprehensive as the day neared a close. Piper feared for her children. She knew the decision Chris had been faced with, and hoped that he would stick by his promise and not harm is brother.

The six stole themselves against what was to come next, and climbed up the bloody, broken stairs. Andy could not believe the change since she had snuck off the previous morning. The once white interior was now stained with blood and scorch marks.

"Hello," came a chilling voice from the shadows. "I've been waiting for you." As Wyatt stepped out of the shadows, a large force-field engulfed the sisters and Leo, pinning them against the wall. "Let's get started shall we?" With a snap of his fingers, Wyatt called forth five of his most feared assassins.

"You get the assassins..." started Andy, but Chris cut her off.

"No. You take the three on the right and I'll take the two on the left, Wyatt's mine." His voice matched the tone of Wyatt's perfectly. Andy had never thought of Wyatt and Chris being alike at all, but at this moment, the resemblance was startling.

Wyatt sat in the back of the room, surveying his handiwork. Piper gasped as the first demon ran at her baby, energy ball in both hands. Chris, however, just stood there. Then, he nonchalantly raised his arm and lightening bolts vanquished the demon and two of his friends. Andy looked on astonished, but was pulled out of her amazement as an energy-ball grazed her arm. As she began to fight, Chris advanced on his brother.

"Ah, little brother, I see you've unbound some of your powers. Shall we try them out?"

"Wyatt! Please!" Piper pleaded from her cage.

"Not now mother," both of her sons replied in unison.

The men circled each other, like wolves preparing for the kill. Finally, Wyatt stopped and smiled. Then he opened into a strong stance, inviting Chris to make the first move. Chris smiled in return, and then all hell broke loose. First Chris shot lightening at Wyatt's chest, but he deflected it. Wyatt countered by trying to choke Chris, but Chris broke loose. The war of the powers lasted for twenty minutes. By the time the brothers had abandoned their fruitless attempts to defeat each other with their powers; Andy had vanquished the rest of the assassins. She tried to join the fight, but Wyatt threw her out of the way and behind the force field. Then, Wyatt lunged. The fight was now hand to hand combat. The fists and kicks flew at seemingly light speed. Once they realized that this was getting them nowhere, they tore apart and stood surveying their opponent. After a moment of tense staring, Chris levitated in the air, and kicked Wyatt across the room.

"You don't have that power," Wyatt said, amazedly, as he rose to his feet.

"I do know," Chris smirked. "I also have a new power." Chris raised his hands towards Wyatt, and concentrated. He hadn't tried this power before, but he prayed it would work. Andy was supposed to have thrown the power stripping potion, but she was out of commission now. Slowly, a weird glow began to emanate from Wyatt's chest. The glow then began to flow Chris' direction, like a ghostly river. Wyatt raised his field, trying to fend off Chris' attack, but it was to no avail. Within seconds, Wyatt was on his knees, powerless.

"I just drained your powers, like you did to me. Only I fought you face to face, not by having dad slip a potion into you drink. Who's Lord now?" Chris mocked coldly, moving towards his weakened brother. "You took my fiance," Chris said in a warning tone, telekinetically lifting his brother up by his neck. "You took my aunts," Chris threw Wyatt across the room. "You took my life!" Chris raised Wyatt up for the kill.

"NO!" Piper screamed running towards her son. The force field had fallen once Wyatt was defeated. Chris seemed to snap out of it at the sound of his mother's voice. He lowered his brother and stepped away. Andrea erected a cage to hold Wyatt, and walked to Chris. "It's over," she cooed in his ear.

"Yeah," Chris replied, looking up into Andy's eyes. "It's over." He gently stroked her cheek, and kissed her softly on the lips. "I'll never leave you again," Chris murmured, as he held on to his love.

"No," Andy said, pulling away. "You have to save the future. You have to keep him from turning evil." Chris could see the pleading in her eyes, and could hear her heart break.

"Then come with me," was all Chris said.

"No, I have to clean up here, in case. The people need a leader, but we'll be together again."

"Funny, that's just what I said to Bianca. Let's open that portal then," Chris said, quickly covering his feelings of hurt.

In minutes, the girls, Leo, and Chris found themselves back in their house. Phoebe still had tears in her eyes from watching Chris and Andy's goodbye, and all five were even more determined to save Wyatt.

"So...Spaghetti for dinner?" Piper asked, moving into the kitchen.

Well, that's the end. I have a few ideas for sequels and other stories all together. I don't know. Tell me whatcha think.
