Challenge and Challenger

[Krista Halliwell-Turner]

Krista

::She frown at her fathers demand...::

"Why do you need those kind of demons?"

::Normally her father was into the normal upper level demons not grimlocks for a start, they were so blinded sometimes and hardly ever made the right decision about anything::

Where did the Seer come from...and who is she? She might not even be trustworthy, like the last one...hmmm

[Cole Turner]

Cole

:: Smiling, he glanced back to Krista as the Seer smirked to herself ::

"Easy to manipulate with the right bait and I don't care if they're lost."

:: Cole nodded to the Seer who disappeared, her eyes flashing as the last trace before she left. He moved to sit on the throne and casually slumped back, mind whirring ::

[Krista Halliwell-Turner]

Krista

"Oh....right..."

See, you learn something new everyday...

::Krista looked around and shifted slightly on her feat, not quite sure weather to interupt her fathers thinking moment::

New friends I have to make...I wonder if they are the same as they were in my reality?

[Cole Turner]

Cole

:: Jumping up just before the demons appeared, Cole waved his hand and the room was changed to his own design. He nodded with satisfaction, then made sure that there were three seats ('thrones') behind him ::

"Welcome!"

:: He held his arms wide in gesture of openess, then dropped them and conjured chairs with a wave of his hand ::

"Sit."

[Krista Halliwell-Turner]

Krista

::Krista walked so she was behind her dad and sat on the arm of the left hand throne, watching the demons, watching her father to see what he could do::

So, these demons are going to be used, I can see how they are easily replaced

::Krista put one leg over the other and crossed both arms, nose slightly in the air, looking down upon these low level demons with an air of arrogance::

[Cole Turner]

Cole

:: Smirking at the demons obvious curiousity, Cole moved a step to one side and, firstly put a hand flat on hs chest, then gestured with an open hand to Krista as he spoke ::

"If any are in doubt, I am the Source, and this is the heir to the underworld. Any who challenge her, challenge me. And any who challenge me turn to dust. "

:: His eyes flashed to emphasise his point, and a few demons sat back and straighter. Stepping forward, his hands now together, Cole's eyes were closed - showing the demons he was either incredibly powerful, or incredibly stupid as he trusted them. One generated a fireball - testing the theory, but he was ash before he drew his arm back. Eyes snapping open, his hand still outstretched, Cole gave the others a piercing glare ::

"I want you to distract the Charmed Ones. Give them a reason to stay at the office, or their clubs. Don't try to kill them, or you'll end up somewhere you'll never be free of."

:: His tone was somewhat patronising, though it seemed he genuinely cared ::

"It's vital you all succeed - I am personally going to oversee the balance is restored. It seems too many potentials are surviving and that damages our chances of ever succeeding in ridding the world of 'good'."

:: Cole moved back and sat in his throne, seemingly now bored, and air quoting 'good' as he said it. He looked at the demons and smiled as if plotting ::

"Do you think you could manage to fend them off as it were?"

:: At a few nods, Cole stood again (obviously restless to any that might have known him) ::

"Go then, but I'm sending someone I trust to make sure you obey my orders."

:: Turning and holding out his hand to Krista, he winked ::

[Krista Halliwell-Turner]

Krista

::Krista glared at one demon in particular who wasn't really taking this situation seriously, until his little friend conjured a fireball and was dead before he could have a second thought. She smiled slyly at the mention of the charmed ones, she hoped none of them recognized some similarities, it would be more of a reason to stab her in the back, literally::

How nice is it to have father have the throne back, I don't feel as much as a tramp now, not that I ever was one

::She saw her father put out his hand and so she took it, smiling at his wink::

God he really does think highly of himself doesn't he?

::She thought to herself jokingly, then she looked out across the cave, speaking with an air of power, similar to her father just slightly softly::

"Yes, that will be me"

::And with that a grin crossed her face, if these demons didn't obey then they would have her to deal with and she was quite looking forward to that::

[Cole Turner]

Cole

"My daughter, and that of your soon to be Queen."

:: His eyes flashed at Krista, his words only meaning to scare the demons, not hurt her. That was why he squeezed her hand subtly ::

"Any one who she reports disobeys or even argues-"

:: Cole let the sentence hang, the ending not needed to scare the demons any further. In fact suggestion was far more powerful with their disturbed imaginations. He nodded again ::

"Go."

:: To Krista, he turned before she could depart and looked at her seriously ::

"Be careful."

[Krista Halliwell-Turner]

Krista

::She smiled, sometimes her dad didn't really seem that he cared a lot but moments likes this supported her theory that he was just an emotional wreck, not capable of letting too many people see his softer side. This wasn't meant to be a offensive statement as her would of been aunt, Prue was the same, and Piper to some extent. She smiled at Cole and nodded, he knew she would be fine, she just had to get used to it. She then shimmered away...thinking of what fun this could turn out to be::

[Cole Turner]

Cole

:: Watching her depart, Cole put his hands behind his back, knowing he was being watched ::

"Come out Seer, we both know you cannot hide from me"

:: Out she stepped, her eyes flashing and no smile upon her lips. Obviously she had hoped to observe the new Source before any more orders were given ::

"Who are you to command me?" She asked

:: Cole turned and looked at her, before tilting his head slightly ::

"I'm the Source"

:: She looked daggers at him, then laughed suddenly. The acceptance was complete, and Cole knew none would dare challenge him now. With the Seer on his side, there was nothing to stop them taking the world by storm once again ::
