THE NEXT GENERATION

They laughed at each other.

"So," said Wyatt, "what did you find out?"

"A lot." said Chris, loosing his tie. "It turns out, the organization is planning a merging celebration tomorrow at midnight."

"We've got to stop them." said Melinda.

"We will, Mel." said Wyatt.

"We have too." said Chris. "But…we have to change first."

The next day, at midnight the demonic organization began to plan their big party. Thanos, accompanied by Dreken, his executive officer, walked down a hallway, and turned into the large crowded ball room. It was filled with important looking people.

"No witch or white lighter is to get that door." said Thanos.

"Yes sir," said Dreken.

Thanos walked off into the crowd and up to the stage in the front of the room. He grabbed the microphone and spoke,

"This is a glorious day for Nomed Corporation. Tonight, we shall merge with one of the largest companies in the world. Giving us a foot in the real world and a step for demons for total domination. And further more---"

Wyatt, Chris, and Melinda orbed into the middle of the room.

"Sorry to crash the party." said Chris.

"Ah…the guest of honor." said Thanos. "Kill them!"

A demon stepped forward and sent an energy ball at them.

"Energy ball!" shouted Wyatt, he orbed the energy ball and sent it back at the demon.

"Anyone, else?" said Melinda.

Several demons ran forward, sending energy balls and fireballs flying at them left and right. Melinda did her hand gesture, slowing down each of the demonic powers. They stepped out of the way. Suddenly, time spend up, and all the attacks collided with each other, causing an explosion vanquishing several demons nearby.

Chris used his telekinesis and sent two demons flying through the air. Another sent a fireball at him. He orbed out and orbed back in. He gestured with his hand, sending the demon across the room and into a table.

Melinda froze two energy balls, and blew three demons up. She was grabbed from behind by another demon.

"Let me go!" she shouted.

Another was advancing on her from the front. She kicked him in the face. Then she gestured with her hands, and froze the demon holding her. She dropped to the floor. She kicked the demon in the leg, knocking him to the floor. Then she blew him up.

Wyatt held up his hands, sending an energy wave threw the entire room, vanquishing over 20 demons at once.

The last demon left was Thanos.

"You…how dare you?!" he shouted. He created a huge fireball over his head and hurled it at them.

Melinda gestured and froze the fireball.

"I'll kill all of you!" he shouted.

They all held out their hands to Thanos, and began to chant a spell:

With the power of three we call, unite as one, and this demon shall fall!

With the power of three we call, unite as one, and this demon shall fall!

With the power of three we call, unite as one, and this demon shall fall!

"NOOOOO!!!" Thanos shouted, as he exploded into a million pieces.

"The Power of Three." said Wyatt, Chris, and Melinda together.

"Lets get outta of here." said Wyatt.

They orbed out.

A week later, Piper and Leo returned from their cruise. Wyatt, Chris, and Melinda met them as they walked into the foyer.

"Hey," said Piper, cheerfully. "How was everything?"

"Fine, mom." said Chris.

"No demons?" said Leo.

"No demons, dad." said Chris.

"No Warlocks?" said Piper.

"Or any other type of evil incarnation." said Melinda.

"Oh, well that's great. Leo, lets go unpack." said Piper, heading up the stairs. Leo closely followed.

"That was close." said Chris.

Suddenly a demon shimmered in and hurled an energy ball at Piper. She quickly turned around and Melinda froze the energy ball. Piper gestured and blew the demon up.

"Can I get a frickin' day off around here?! Jeez!" said Piper.
