TEASER

 

 

FADE IN:

 

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - SUN ROOM - MORNING

 

Phoebe enters, wrapped in a thick gown, yawning.  She looks troubled.  Piper and Paige come to her.

 

                        PIPER

              Bad night?

 

                        PHOEBE
              You could say that.

 

                        PAIGE

              You looked like you tossed and

turned like a whirling dervish.

 

          PHOEBE

Perhaps I did.  (BEAT)

Is it cold in here or is it

just me?

 

          PAIGE

     (Shivers and rubs her arms)

It's cold.

 

                        PIPER

              Yeah, strange weather we're having.

              It's supposed to be the middle of

Summer.

             

                        PHOEBE

              Do you think it's anything

supernatural?

 

          PAIGE

Nah.

 

 

 

          PHOEBE

I just have this strange feeling...

 

Chris and Leo enter the Sun room and come to the Charmed ones.

 

                        LEO

              About what?

 

                        PHOEBE

                   (Shakes her head)

              Strange dreams ... Strange

weather ...  think you should

get the Elders to check it out.

 

          PAIGE

Hold your horses, Girl. I mean I

know you're an Empath, but are

you sure it's not just a cold

flush? They have been known to

happen you know.  Not everything's

demons.

 

No sooner has Paige spoken when a flash is seen, and a male messenger demon appears.

 

                        MESSANGER DEMON

                        (Laughs)

              The end is nigh!  Hark! The end is

nigh! For all mankind!

 

He begins to disappear, but Piper blows up the demon first.  The demon erupts in a ball of flame, still laughing.

 

                        LEO

              I'll see what the Elders come up

with.

 

          CHRIS

I'll go with you.

 

Leo nods and together they Orb out.

 

                        PHOEBE

              Cold flush, huh?

 

 

                        PAIGE

                   (Sighs defeated)

              Well it could have been.

CHARMED

 

“Ragnarok”

 

ACT ONE

 

FADE IN:

 

INT. SUN ROOM

 

The Charmed ones stand around.  Piper looks thoughtful.

 

                        PIPER

              Maybe the book will have

something about that demon I just

vanquished.

 

          PAIGE

Good idea.  Always need to be

Prepared for the end of the

world.

 

          PHOEBE

And you thought it was a cold

flush.

 

          PAIGE

So sue me.

 

The Charmed Ones head upstairs.

 

INT. ATTIC

 

The sisters consult the book.  Paige flips through the pages until she comes to the right one.

 

                        PAIGE

              Found him!   

 

                        PIPER

              What does it say about him?

 

                        PAIGE

              He is or rather was a messenger

demon. A harbinger of doom.

 

 

 

                        PIPER

              That doesn't sound so good.  What

else does it say?

 

          PAIGE

They are a breed of messenger

demons, bred to tell tales of

destruction, of Armageddon.

 

          PHOEBE

That sounds worse.

 

Leo and Chris Orb in to the Sisters.

 

                        LEO

              What sounds worse?

 

                        PIPER

              Oh nothing, just Armageddon.

              What did the Elders have to

say?

 

                        LEO

              No news is good news, I'm afraid.

              They know something bad's going

down, but they don’t know what

exactly.

 

          PIPER

In other words they're clueless,

like us.

 

          LEO

In a word, yup.

 

          PIPER

Fantastic.  So we just sit

around and wait for Armageddon to

bite us on our backsides?

 

          PHOEBE

Maybe that's what he meant.

 

          PIPER

Who?

 

 

          PHOEBE

No one, just thinking aloud.

 

     PAIGE

Well we have to do something.  I

don't particularly want my

backside bitten by Armageddon.

 

Phoebe mysteriously falls down unconscious.

 

                        LEO

(Concerned)
Phoebe ...

 

He kneels down to her.  Her sisters look worried.

 

                        PIPER

                      (Concerned)

              What happened?

 

It looks like she fainted.

 

                        PAIGE

              How?

 

                        LEO

              I don't know.

 

                        PIPER

              Can you wake her?

 

                        LEO

              I'll try.

 

                                                CUT TO:

 

BEGIN DREAM SEQUENCE

 

INT. INDOOR POOL

 

A man swims underneath the water.  Show Phoebe standing at the side of the pool, looking at the man.  The man swims to her and comes up.  It is Cole.  Phoebe stares at him.

 

 

 

 

                        COLE

              You were my sunshine, Phoebe.

              And then you burned me... It's the

end, Phoebe, the end.

 

                        PHOEBE

                   (Stammers)

              I ... uhh ... I ...

 

Cole swims away.  Phoebe still stands there.  Cole swims back to her.

 

                   COLE

              Can you ever forgive me, Phoebe?

 

                        PHOEBE

              Cole, I ...

 

END DREAM SEQUENCE

 

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - ATTTIC

 

Phoebe awakes with a start and looks troubled.

 

                        PIPER

              What happened?

 

                        PHOEBE

              Where am I ... Oh ...The Attic ...

Did I faint?

 

          LEO

You lost consciousness.

 

          PHOEBE

Oh.

 

She stands.

 

                        PAIGE

              Are you all right?  You look ...

              somewhat troubled.

 

                        PHOEBE

                        (Sighs)

              I may as well tell you all ...

 

                        PIPER

              Tell us what?

 

                        PHOEBE

                   (Takes a deep breath)

              I have been having a recurring

dream for the last three nights.

 

          LEO

And that's what's been troubling

you?

 

                        PHOEBE

              You could say that.  It was about

Cole.

 

Piper and Paige look surprised.

                  

                        PIPER

                   (Surprised)

              Oh?  Why didn't you tell us?

 

                        PHOEBE

              I was embarrassed, I thought it

would pass.

 

          LEO

But it didn't.  You say you had the

dream more that once?

 

                        PHOEBE

                        (Nods)

              He asked me to forgive him.

 

                        PIPER

              I hope you told that bastard to

go straight to hell.

 

                        PHOEBE

              I think is already in Hell and

Besides I wake up each time before

I could say anything much.

 

                        PAIGE

              Do you think the dream had any

meaning? Dreams often do.

 

                        PHOEBE

              But what could it mean? I'm

over Cole.  He said and I

remember this vividly: "You

were my sunshine, Phoebe. And

then you burned me... It's the

end, Phoebe, the end."

 

                        PAIGE

              Perhaps it's a message of some kind?

             

                        PHOEBE

              But what message?  In the dream

he all he seemed to want was

forgiveness for what he did.

He looked so sad. Do you think I

should forgive him?

 

          CHRIS
     I feel like I'm the odd one out

here. Am I the only one who doesn't

know who this Cole is?

 

          PIPER

He was Phoebe's demon ex-husband.

 

          CHRIS

  (Stares at Phoebe)

You married a demon?

 

          PHOEBE

          (Defensive)

I didn't know he was a demon

at first.

 

          CHRIS

And when you found out you dumped

him, right?

 

          PHOEBE

Well not exactly...

 

          CHRIS

What?

 

 

 

          PIPER

It's a long otello. Have you heard

of the demon Balthazar?

 

          CHRIS

Yes, history has it he was vanquished

by you, the Charmed Ones.

 

          PIPER

Twice ... He was sent by the source

to kill us, but he fell in love with

Phoebe.  He was evil, then tuned

good, then turned evil again, and we

vanquished him, but he came back,

then turned good, then evil again

and we vanquished him finally.

 

          CHRIS

Oh.  How can you be sure he won't

come back again?

 

          PHOEBE

We vanquished him when he was

vulnerable. Another long story

which I'm not going to go into.

I did love Cole, but I am over

him now.

 

          CHRIS

Then why are you dreaming about

him?

 

          PHOEBE

     (Sighs)

I don't know.  Perhaps like Paige

said, it's a message of some kind?

 

          LEO

Dreams are often messages from the

subconscious.  You don't think

it's Cole actually trying to reach

you from the Other Side, do you?

 

 

 

 

 

          PHOEBE

     (Troubled)

I don't know.  He said something

about 'the end.' Perhaps he was

referring to the Armageddon that

messenger demon was prophesizing?

 

          LEO

Could be.

 

Phoebe still looks troubled.

 

                                                CUT TO:

 

INT. LOKI'S LAIR

 

Show a dark, dank looking place.  Loki lies on a slab of rock, chained to it, struggling against the chains.  A demon stands, holding Thor's Hammer.

 

                        LOKI

              Faster, you malingering peasant!

 

The Demon and strikes it against Loki's chains.  He strikes again and again until the chains break. Loki free himself and the chains fall to the ground.  Loki stands, looking triumphant.

 

                        LOKI

              At last, I Loki am free!  Free for

revenge!

 

The and bows down.  Loki looks at the demon and laughs.

 

                        LOKI

              I will have my revenge, even if

it destroys the world!

 

He looks fanatical and he laughs.

 

EXT. EARTH FROM SPACE - SHOW THE SKY DARKENING

 

                                                CUT TO:

 

EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR - SHOW SKY DARKENING

 

 

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR

 

It is getting darker outside.

 

                        PIPER

              Strange, it's only one o'clock.

 

                        PAIGE

              Can you say Armageddon? I think

it's too late.

 

                        CHRIS

                   (Serious)

              This is no laughing matter.

 

                        PHOEBE

                   (Stifling a smile)

              You're right of course. Cold flush,

my ass.

 

Paige gives Phoebe a look.

ACT TWO

 

 

 

FADE IN:

 

INT. VALKYRIE STRONGHOLD

 

A gathering of Valkyries stand around, with a precession of heroes.

 

                        VALKYRIE 1

                        (Cautious)

              Are you sure they're ready?

 

                        VALKYRIE LEADER

              They will have to be. March!

 

She opens up a portal to the modern world and begins ordering both Valkyries and heroes through.

 

                                                CUT TO:

 

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - ATTIC

 

The Charmed Ones, Chris and Leo stand around.  Chris rubs his arms. 

 

CHRIS

It's getting colder.

 

     PAIGE

(Turns to Phoebe)

              Another cold flush joke and I'm

outta here.

 

                        PHOEBE

              I'm sensing something much more

serious.

 

She falters and grabs a chair for support.

 

 

 

                        LEO

              What are you sensing?

 

                        PHOEBE

              I'm not sure ... Terrible hatred

              A burning desire for revenge...

              against the entire world...

 

Phoebe almost passes out again.  Leo places his hands upon her shoulders, steadying her.

 

                                                CUT TO:

 

INT. LOKI'S LAIR

 

Loki stands amidst his demon minions.

 

                        LOKI

              At last our time has come, after

              thousands of years of being

trapped...

 

A short demon approaches Loki.

 

          DEMON 1

What are your orders, My Liege?

 

Loki looks down at the demon.

 

                        LOKI

              Release the frost giants.

 

                        DEMON 1

                   (Smiles)

              Consider it done, My Lord.

 

                                                CUT TO:

 

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - ATTIC

 

It is dark as night outside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

                        LEO

              I have to go, the Elders are

calling.  (To Chris)

You stay here and see if you can

find anything.

 

     CHRIS

                   (Nods)

              Good luck.

 

Leo Orbs out.

 

                        PHOEBE

              Maybe the book will have something

              on how to stop Armageddon.

 

                        PAIGE

              Let's hope it doesn't say 'Bruce

Willis.'

 

          CHRIS

This is no time for jokes.

 

          PAIGE

If a girl can't make jokes

about Armageddon what a girl

joke about?

 

Chris shakes his head.

 

                        PAIGE

              All work and no play makes Chris

              a dull boy.

 

                        CHRIS

              Dull or not, the end of the world

              is serious business and I suggest

              we get our heads down.  What does

the book say?

 

          PIPER

It's difficult to nail it down.

Armageddon means different things

to different cultures.  It would

help knowing what sort of Armageddon

we're looking at.  'The end of the (MORE)

 

              PIPER (CONT'D)

world' isn't much to go on.  Phoebe,

Are you sensing anything?

 

Phoebe sits down and closes her eyes.

 

                        PHOEBE

              Nothing more, I'm sorry.

 

                        PIPER

              No need to apologize, but we need

something to go on.

 

The Valkyrie Leader appears in the attic.

 

                        PIPER

              Ask and ye shall receive.

              (To the Valkyrie Leader)

               What do you want?

 

                        VALKYRIE LEADER

              Your help.

 

                        PIPER

              And why would that be?

 

                        VALKYRIE LEADER

                        (Impatient)

              Ragnarok is upon us. Have you not

seen the signs?

 

          PIPER

Ragnarok!  Well why didn't you

say so?

 

                        VALKYRIE LEADER

              Will you help us?

 

                        PIPER

              Yes we will, but first, we have

to know what we're dealing with.

 

Paige goes to the book

 

 

 

 

                        PAIGE

              Ragnarok ... Ragnarok ... Here

it is...  "In Norse mythology,

Ragnarok, means doom - the end of

the cosmos," That sounds wonderful,

"where the Gods and the Frost Giants

fought the final epic battle,

plunging the Earth into darkness.

The stars will vanish from the sky. 

The Earth will shudder and be

scorched. It is the beginning of

the end."

 

          PIPER

Great.

 

          VALKYRIE LEADER

Loki is once again loose and plans

to as your book says 'plunge the

world into darkness.' He does not

care if his revenge destroys the

entire world. And in this day and

age the Gods cannot stop him.

 

          PIPER

Wonderful, so how do we stop him?

 

          VALKYRIE LEADER

We were hoping you would have a

plan.

 

          PIPER

We've just learnt what we're

dealing with.  We'll need some

time. So just how do you stop an

insane God? Paige, look up Loki.

 

          PAIGE

On it.

 

She flips through the book again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                        PAIGE

              Here he is,  Loki, Norse God,

mischievous, sinister, handsome

in appearance, evil in character. 

He was responsible for the death

of the Norse God Balder. He is

able to change shape at will.  He

              was imprisoned by the Gods,

chained with chains only Thor's

Hammer could break.

 

                        VALKYRIE LEADER

              Thor's sacred Hammer was stolen

from us by demons.

 

                        PIPER

              This is getting better by the

minute.

             

Leo Orbs in.

 

                        LEO

              I have some news.

 

He sees the Valkyrie and flinches, remembering his time trapped amongst them.

 

                        LEO

              What's she doing here?

 

                        PIPER

              Telling us about Ragnarok.

 

                        LEO

                   (Nods)

              That's what the Elders said.  They

said that the war would start in

the North, in Iceland.

 

          PIPER

In other words, we'd better rug up.

 

          LEO

Exactly.

 

 

                             DISSOLVE TO:

 

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - LIVING ROOM

 

The Charmed ones and Leo are all dressed in cold weather gear.

 

                   CHRIS

          I'd better stay.  Someone has to

look after Wyatt.

 

          PIPER

Thanks.

 

Chris gives a nod.  Leo holds hands with the Sisters and

they Orb out.

 

                        VALKYRIE LEADER

              Our hopes go with you.

 

                                                CUT TO:

 

EXT. ICELAND

 

Show many huge Frost Giants stomping about. Valkyries and Heroes are fighting them.  Leo and the Sisters stare at them.

 

                        FROST GIANTS

                   DOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

 

                        PIPER

                        (Whispers)

                   Oh crap.

                       

                        PAIGE

                   What do we do?

 

                        PIPER

                   We need a spell and fast!

 

                        PAIGE

                   Frost Giants rid thee

                   From my sight I command thee!

 

Nothing happens.  Piper looks at Paige.  Paige shrugs.

 

                   LEO

                   We're going to need a little

more than that.

 

     PAIGE

I'll try again ...

                   Frost Giants go below

                   From this land go!

 

One of the Frost Giants turns around and comes stomping after Paige.  She stares up at it and Orbs out of the way as its huge foot comes down on top of her.  She Orbs to Leo and the others.  She was not quite quick enough as she is bleeding, her blood staining the white snow. Paige looses consciousness. Leo holds her in his arms.

ACT THREE

 

“Ragnarok”

 

 

FADE IN:

 

EXT. ICELAND

 

Wounded, Paige lies on the icy ground, Piper, Leo and Phoebe looking at her with concern and worry.

 

PIPER

(Urgently to Leo)

                   Heal her!

 

Leo places his hands over Paige.

 

                        LEO

              It's not working ...

 

Leo and the sisters look worried.  A hoard of Frost Giants come stomping toward them.

 

                        FROST GIANTS

              DOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

 

LEO

              No time ...

 

He grabs hold of the sisters' hands and orbs them to the attic.

 

                                                CUT TO:

 

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - ATTIC

 

Leo and the others Orb in.  Leo lies Paige down on the sofa.  She is semi-conscious and groans. Chris looks over at Paige and becomes worried.  The Valkyrie Leader looks over at Paige also.

 

 

 

 

 

                        VALKYRIE LEADER

              She has been poisoned by the

Frost Giants.  You do not have

much time - if you can save her

at all.

 

                        PHOEBE

              Don’t say that.  What about an

ordinary hospital?

 

          VALKYRIE LEADER

That will not help.  Medicine of

your time cannot cure her.

 

          PIPER

And what will we tell them?

That our sister was stomped

on my a Frost Giant from

Ragnarok?

 

Phoebe looks worried.

 

                        PHOEBE

              Leo, is there anything you can

do?

 

                        LEO

              There may be one thing.  I

can take her to the Elders. 

They may be able to heal her.

 

          PIPER

Do that.  Let's hope it works.

 

          LEO

It may not. In the meantime,

you and Piper make a healing

potion.  Try conventional magic,

natural magic, anything. 

 

          PHOEBE

On it.

 

          LEO

Chris you come me with me.

 

Chris nods.  Piper and Phoebe look worriedly at the semi-conscious Paige as Leo takes her hand and Orbs out with her to the Elders.

 

                   PHOEBE

                   (Whispers)

              Good luck, Leo.

 

                                      CUT TO:

 

INT. ELDERS' DOMAIN

 

Leo and Chris Orb in, Leo holding the wounded Paige in his arms.  He is surrounded by a group of Elders. Leo sets her down on a ledge as the Lead Elder emerges.

 

                        LEO

              I can't heal her.  I need help.

 

                        LEAD ELDER

                   (Takes a breath)

              I'm not sure I can either.

 

                                                CUT TO:

 

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - ATTIC

 

Phoebe and Piper have started on the potion.

 

                        PIPER

              Some ground sandalwood for

protection and elf leaf for

purification of the wound...

 

She adds the sandalwood and elf leaf to the brewing potion and stirs it with a wooden spoon.

 

                        PHOEBE

              I think we should add some

frankincense to traverse fear.

 

          PIPER

              Good idea.

 

Leo and Chris Orb back into the Attic. Piper and Phoebe look at him anxiously.

 

                        LEO

              The Elders are seeing what

they can do, but it doesn't

look good.

 

Phoebe and Piper look worried, as do Leo and Chris.

 

                        VALKYRIE LEADER

              I commend your efforts, but the

              situation is grim and may I

              remind you - you have a world to

save.  The life of one is not as

important as the entire world.

 

          PIPER

She is our sister.

 

          VALKYRIE LEADER

And do you think Loki will stop

with the world?

 

          PIPER

We've almost finished the potion,

then we'll worry about Loki.

 

The Valkyrie Leader looks unfazed.

 

                        VALKYRIE LEADER

              I must leave you now, I am

overdue in battle.

 

          PIPER

Good luck.

 

          VALKYRIE LEADER

I will need a great deal more than

luck.

 

She vanishes.

 

                        LEO

              The Elders are calling.

 

He orbs to them.

 

                                                CUT TO:

 

INT. ELDERS DOMAIN

 

The Elders and their Leader stand around Paige.

 

                        LEAD ELDER

              We've done all we can for her.

 

                        LEO

              You couldn't heal her?

 

                        LEAD ELDER

              No, but we've stabilized her

condition.  I fear the only thing

that will save her is the end of

Ragnarok.

 

              LEO

The end of the world ...

 

Leo picks up Paige and orbs out with her.  She is still unconscious.

 

                                           CUT TO:

 

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - ATTIC

 

Leo Orbs in with Paige and lies her on the sofa. Phoebe and Piper rush to them.

 

                        PHOEBE

                   (Nervous to ask)

              How did it go?

 

                        PIPER

              She's still unconscious.

 

                        LEO

              They couldn't heal her fully,

but they've stopped the bleeding.

 

          PIPER
     That's something at least. We've

finished the potion.

 

          LEO

Bring it here.

 

Piper gathers a vial and brings it to Paige.  Piper and Phoebe kneel down.  Gently Phoebe rubs it on Paige's wound.  The wound site begins to glow, but doesn’t heal.

 

                        PHOEBE

                   (Dismayed)

              It's not working...

 

                        LEO

              By the way, where's our friend?

 

                        PIPER

              Oh, she went to fight the ice

              boogymen with her heroes.

 

Phoebe passes out.  Piper's head snaps around.

 

                        PIPER

              Oh no you don't!  I'm not having

two sisters conk out on me. 

Phoebe!

 

Piper slaps her face gently.

 

                        PIPER

              Phoebe!

 

BEGIN DREAM SEQUENCE

 

INT. INDOOR POOL

 

Cole swims underneath the water.  Show Phoebe standing at the side of the pool, looking at him.  Cole swims to her and comes up.

 

                        COLE

              You were my sunshine, Phoebe.

              And then you burned me... It's the

end, Phoebe, the end.

 

                   PHOEBE

                   (Stammers)

              Cole, what are you trying to

tell me?

 

Cole swims away.  Phoebe looks after him.

 

PHOEBE

Cole!

 

Cole swims back to her.

 

                   COLE

              Can you ever forgive me, Phoebe?

 

                        PHOEBE

              Cole, I ...

 

END DREAM SEQUENCE

 

Phoebe wakes up.

 

                        PIPER

              Phoebe ... Phoebe!

 

                        PHOEBE

              It's okay ... I had that

dream again ...(PAUSE)

Oh my Gods! I know what to

do!  Sunshine! That's it!

Why didn't I think of that

before!?

 

She slaps her forehead as Paige begins to regain consciousness.

 

                        PAIGE

              Ohh ...

 

                        LEO

              Paige?

 

                        PAIGE

              I'll never have ice in a drink

again...

 

 

Piper, Phoebe and Leo smile.

 

                        LEO

              The potion's slowed the poison,

but it's still inside you.

 

 

                        PAIGE

(Winces)
I know ... I can feel it.

 

     PIPER

              On the bright side, Phoebe has

              an idea.

 

                        PAIGE
                   (Smiles weakly)

              That's good.  (Falters) Ohh ...

              Save the world for me ...

 

She loses consciousness again.

 

                        PIPER

              Paige ...

 

The Attic begins to shake.

ACT FOUR

 

FADE IN:

 

INT. LOKI'S LAIR

 

Loki stands, triumphant amidst his demon minions.

 

                        LOKI

                        (Laughs)

              With one of the Charmed ones

down, none can stand against me! 

It is time for my Frost Giants

to cover the world!

 

                                                CUT TO:

 

EXT. ICELAND

 

Show many heroes and Valkyries lying defeated.  As the Frost Giants stomp on.

 

                        FROST GIANTS

              DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

 

                        LOKI

              Yes, doom it is for all who

oppose me!

 

                                      CUT TO:

 

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - ATTIC

 

The Valkyrie Leader appears to Leo, the Charmed ones and Chris.

 

                        VALKYRIE LEADER

              Alas the battle does not go

well.  What news have you?

I pray it be good.

 

 

 

          PIPER

You're in luck.  Phoebe has an

idea.

 

          PHOEBE

For about a week now as most of

you know I've been having a

recurring dream about Cole.

 

          VALKYRIE LEADER

What has this got to do with

Loki and his Frost Giants?

 

          PHOEBE

I'm getting to that.  Cole said

something about sunshine and

burning, so I'm assuming that

pure sunshine will destroy the

Frost Giants.

 

          VALKYRIE LEADER

The sun's rays have been blocked.

 

          PHOEBE

Well then we'll just have to

unblock them.

 

          VALKYRIE LEADER

              Even if that is possible, you still

have to trap Loki and stop him.  If

you don't, he’ll just create another

army of Frost Giants, and there's also

his demon minions to worry about.

 

          PHOEBE

I so hear you, but first let's deal

with the Frost Giants.  I'll get

onto a spell.

 

          VALKYRIE LEADER

I hope it works, for all our sakes.

 

Phoebe sits down, picks up and pen and paper and writes.

 

 

 

 

                        PHOEBE

How's this ...

Sun, hear my prayer,

Light our darkest hour

Come out from your bower

Let your light radiate

For peace and harmony

On this very date

 

Piper looks at Phoebe.

                       

                        PHOEBE

Well it was the best I could

come up with under pressure!

Creating Sunlight isn't as easy

as it looks on Harry Potter you

know.  You try preventing an

apocalypse.

 

          PIPER

Okay, okay.

 

          PHOEBE

Leo, we're ready.

 

Leo takes Phoebe and Piper's hand and Orbs them to Iceland.

 

EXT. ICELAND

 

Leo and the others Orb in.  The Frost Giants seem to be gaining the upper hand over the heroes and Valkyries.

 

                        FROST GIANTS

              DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

 

                        PHOEBE

              Now!

 

                        PHOEBE AND PIPER

Sun, hear my prayer,

Light our darkest hour

Come out from your bower

Let your light radiate

For peace and harmony

On this very date

 

 

Rays of Sunlight begins to shine through the mass of dark and gray.

 

                        PIPER

                   (Relieved)

              It's working.

 

                        PHOEBE

              See.

 

Piper gives Phoebe a look, then smiles.

 

                                                CUT TO:

 

INT. LOKI'S LAIR

 

Loki stands, livid.

 

                        LOKI

                   (Beyond furious)

              NO!!! (PAUSE)

              No matter. I will create a new

army of Frost Giants!  None can

stop me!

 

                                  CUT TO:

 

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR

 

Leo Orbs in with Piper and Phoebe.  The Valkyrie Leader looks at them.

 

                   VAKLYRIE LEADER

              Congratulations, but Loki will

not sit idle.

 

          PIPER

And neither will we, but first...

 

Piper and Phoebe check on Paige who is regaining consciousness.  Show her wound disappear. Paige groans as she sits up.  Leo steadies her.

 

                        LEO

              Welcome back.

 

 

                        PAIGE

              Glad to be back.  I felt so lost...

 

Phoebe places her arms around Paige. Piper smiled warmly.

 

          PIPER

Now we need a vanquishing

potion for the demons, then

a spell to bind Loki.

 

Phoebe helps Paige stand, then the Charmed ones raid their shelves.

 

                        PHOEBE

              Found an all purpose

vanquishing potion.

 

          PAIGE

But there are only two vials.

 

          PIPER

I'll take care of the rest of them.

Now a spell to bind Loki.

 

          PHOEBE

But first a spell to find Loki.

 

          VALKYRIE LEADER

That won't be necessary.  I know the

whereabouts of his lair.

 

          PIPER

Great, let's work on the spell.

 

An earthquake shakes the attic.

 

                        PIPER

              Before it's too late ...

 

                                                CUT TO:

 

INT. LOKI'S LAIR

 

Loki stands, chuckling amidst his demon minions.

 

 

 

                        LOKI

              Soon the world will be no more ...

              And I, Loki will rule the Universe...

 

Leo Orbs in with Paige, Piper, Phoebe and the Valkyrie Leader.

 

Phoebe and Paige hurl the vanquishing potion, vanquishing two of the demons. Piper uses her powers, quickly vanquishing the other three.  Piper uses her powers on Loki to no effect.  Loki stands and laughs.

 

                        PIPER

              It was worth a try ... quick,

the spell...

 

PIPER, PHOEBE AND PAIGE

Evil one,

We bind you under the sun

Forever more

Let you harm no more.

 

Loki looks worried as mists swirl around him, becoming chains.

 

                        LOKI

              NO!  I will not be bound again!

 

He struggles against the bonds as he is once again bound to the slab.

 

                        LOKI

              I will get free once more and I will

              rule the Universe!

 

                        PIPER

              Yeah, yeah.

 

She struggles to pick up Thor's hammer.

 

                        PIPER

              Keep this safe this time.

 

She hands it to the Valkyrie Leader.

 

 

 

                        VALKYRIE LEADER

              Fear not.  It shall not be stolen

again.  I thank you, Charmed ones

as you have helped us save the

world as well as the Universe today.

 

     PIPER

All in a day's work.

 

The Valkyrie Leader smiles as she vanishes with Thor's Hammer.  Leo takes the Sister's hands as they Orb out.  Loki screams in rage.

 

                                      DISSOLVE TO:

 

BEGIN DREAM SEQUENCE.

 

INT. INDOOR POOL

 

Cole swims to Phoebe.

 

                        COLE

              Can you ever forgive me?

 

                        PHOEBE
              (PAUSE) ... Yes Cole, I forgive you.

 

Cole smiles warmly and swims away.  Show pool expanding to the ocean.  The sun is setting.  Phoebe smiles.

 

END DREAM SEQUENCE

 

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - PHOEBE'S BEDROOM.

 

Phoebe wakes up smiling.  She goes to her sisters in the sun room.

 

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - SUN ROOM

 

Phoebe joins her sisters.

 

                        PHOEBE
              I had that dream again.

 

 

 

 

                        PIPER

              But I thought all the business

with Loki and the Frost Giants

was finished.

 

          PHOEBE

Yes, it was.  But he asked me to

forgive him again and this time

I didn't wake up when he asked me.

 

          PAIGE

So, did you forgive him?

 

          PHOEBE
Yes I did.  I felt I had to to

move on.  I can't hold a grudge

forever.

 

          LEO

Do you think it was really Cole

or your subconscious?

    

          PHOEBE
I still don't know the answer to

that, but let's go out and get

some sun.

 

          PAIGE

You're on.  Race you!  Late one

out's a melted frost giant!

 

          PIPER

If I hear the word 'doom' one more

time I'll scream.

 

          PHOEBE
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

 

Piper screams and chases Phoebe outside.  Chris smiles and Leo laughs.
