There was a flash of light as they appeared.  They were beaten, broken, and bleeding.  They had won.  They had saved the world.  They were Chosen for this Task, whether they had been invited or not.  Each one of them had been handpicked by Destiny.  They saved the world and dealt a hell of a blow towards evil and those who would conquer the world.

Everything was Frozen, except John, similar to Piper's ability, but she did not do it.  John looked at him, "How can I help you?"

The Angel looked at him, "You have for now.  What is next, you gave oath to do a long time ago."  He looked at him and motioned to everyone around, "This We'll defend."  

The Angel waved his hand and resumed time for John to say, "Sua Sponte."  (Of their Own Accord)

The Angel looked at them, "You have all done a great thing.  For now, rest and love.  That is your Destiny.  For how long, I can not tell you.  Each of you were chosen to do this over the others because in your heart you needed to do this."  He looked that those who remained behind, "Do not be hard of them for the things you watched them do.  The Balance of the world, rests on their hearts now."

The Angel stopped time again, for everyone except Piper, "Understand.  You lead this Coven.  They had to kill, Men, Women, Witches, Demons, and Monsters.  Many of them were Good.  They had to do it, because they could get to the end.  The ones who died, could not have.  Their hearts will be heavy, because they are Good.  I know you know this about this.  Kishin the Shadowmaster was good once.  Mankind betrayed him out of fear, leaving an opening for Evil.  Help them, keep them good." The Angel of Destiny disappeared and time resumed.

Piper sighed as the Angel left and she turned and looked at them all, "Well I guess we're back." She smiled as she took a seat in the nearby chair and began to fan herself with her hand. "Next time we go off to some mystical arena, make sure we bring bottled water."

Alisha held Alison in her arms, refusing to talk to Kevin for what he did during the tournament. (your choice on what he did)

Walker looked at Prue, he was not sure if she was made at him, he had not been thrown through a wall yet, so he was not sure. He created an energy ball and looked through it, "That Bastard stopped time twice." He looked at Piper, because he could see that she was not frozen when time stopped.

Kevin walked over to Alisha and laid his hand on her shoulder.

"You knwo i had to kill them or our little girl would be dadless and you would be widow." Kevin said.
"I had a hard time killing witches but i just had to." Kevin said as he sighed.

Cole Jr. came running in.
He was asked to stay behind with Raphael and Scarlett and some others, for the children and of course all the other stuff that would need to be taken care off if something bad would have happened.

"Are you all ok?" he asked.

Not long after that Cole Senior flamed in.
He also was not allowed to join, of course he was keeping guard arround the house.

"Did everyone make it?"

'I know. I was just.... I was so scared that I was going to lose you, Kevin.'

Walker looked at Cole, "I killed a member of my old Ranger Team." Walker had given up his life and was resurrected by the Gods. He was a Ranger, he did not mind giving up his life. He hurt more because he killed a Brother. Before Walker had gotten to lead his own team that dealt with magic and the occult, he was a Counter Terrorism Operator.

Walker looked at Prue, she had not spoken yet, since he got back. He was trying to read her, see if she was angry at him. So far, he had not been thrown/smashed into a wall yet, that was either a good sign or a bad sign.

He looked at Kevin, "Kevin, I saw you take apart a Witch that I know for a fact was Petwa Bokor. She was the Leader of a Drug Cartel, one that employs Child Soldiers." She would have talked about killing Kevin, so that she could kill Walker. That was a story for another day. "Do not feel bad about killing her." Bokor is someone who takes money to do magic. Petwa, though in itself is not terribly bad, it was more bloody than other forms of Voodoo.

James looked for Anne, but he did not see her. He lowered his head. He went to the Tournament, knowing that if he returned, it would limit the number of challenges he got in the Clan. It would reduce the number of attacks against him and Anne. He sat down.

Piper stood up from her chair and looked at everyone, "We're fine. Anything that happened, was for the greater good. I know this ordeal wasn't easy on any of us, but we have to move past it. Fighting evil is what we do, even if it's under the disguise of good." She nodded at everyone then turned, "Now, I'm heading upstairs to rest, if anyone needs me, just call." Piper then turned and walked away.

Paige stepped off to the side and pulled Henry with her, "Look, I'm not upset about anything, I'm just glad you're safe. Kishin was a monster, so you did the world a favor. We have to go though, someone at the Den needs me." She held out her hand to Henry, "Come with me? Henry Jr. can stay here with the rest of the kids until we get back."

as Paige spoke Henry smiled.

"Ok." he said as he grabbed her hand.

"You will never lose m." Kevin said as he kissed Alisha on her forehead.

Then he turned to Walker.

"Thanks brother that means a lot." Kevin said

He called Walker a brother because they had developed a strong bond during the tournement.
Kevin nodded as Piper left.
Just as he walked out Leo walked in, he smiled and was glad his wife was safe.
He kissed her and followed her to the bedroom to talk and show the support that a husband should show.

Cole Jr and Cole Senior both smiled a bit as they saw everyone was safe.

Paige smiled then kissed Henry and took his hand. "Well guess we'll see everyone later. Be safe!" She ran over to her brother and gave him a quick hug to make him feel better, then rejoined Henry and took his hand. "Let's go." She then orbed out with Henry.

Alisha stayed in his arms, glad that they were all okay.

James was still looking for Anne.

Hunter looked at James, "James, you fought well. Those here know why you fought. Fighting and killing, so that you will not have to fight as much in the future, is something that we understand better than most. I know you feel love for her. She may not understand now what you did. Maybe she will in the future." Hunter looked at him, "Leo understands. Even the Charmed Ones understand. You two grew up in different worlds."

James looked at him, "I rebuilt my Den for her. I hunted for her. She did not want me to have to fight every day, per our traditions. I went to the tournament so that, so that if I came back, there would not be as many challenges. I do not understand why she is not here."

Hunter looked at him, "She grew up in the human world. You fighting at the tournament and coming back, it reduces the number off Challenges against you, and if she does choose to take place as your mate, reduces challenges against her. Henry fought at this Tournament. He killed Kishin. None of ours will challenge him or the Charmed Paige. Those of us who have seen a lot of fighting understand why you did what you did."

Walker looked at him as well, "Give her time. Like Hunter said, you two grew up in different worlds." For a brief moment his eyes glazed over and he took a deep breath. He stumbled, this was not like a vision, a true vision like Phoebe has. He reached over and grabbed her arm. His vision was more of a prophetic vision, something that based on his experience and knowledge of the peoples around. Phoebe would be able to see a true vision. "True Magic will return to Bears, like when they were Strongest. When the Once and Future King is Old, and no longer fighting, because you are a Bear, like Hunter, will be fighting after the Queen of Hell has Fallen, and will be there to Kill a King of Hell. You will be fighting when many here are dead and gone."

Phoebe would be able to see it all. The Grandchildren of the Charmed Ones, as Experienced Adults, fighting evil. Hunter's Sons, the Princes of Fire and Ice, amusingly, they look a lot like their maternal Grandfather, only one had Blue/Black Hair and the other had Red/Blonde Hair. The Grandchildren had different features and it was hard to tell which Grandchildren of the Charmed Ones they are. The Charmed Ones, even those who had different fathers, all had very strong Halliwell/Warren Features, Dark Hair, Dark Eyes, and Good Bone Structures. She was able to see the Death of Hunter.

Hunter looked at them, "Time to go James. Give her time to think. She knows where to find you, if she wants."

James nodded and he and Hunter Orbed out.

"So what's next?" Kevin spoke.
"I guess we all need some rest now?" he asked as he rubbed Alisha's back while holding her in his arms.

Cole Jr. was happy to see everyone was safe.
But he hadn't seen Scarlett for awhile he was hoping she was at the house of Kevin and Alisha.

"Uncle is it ok if i go check at Scarlett at your and aunt Alisha's house?" he asked.
"Sure" Kevin said.

After that Cole Jr. shimmered out.

Cole Senior walked over to Walker and pulled him a bit further from the group.

"Any idea where your sister is?" he asked in a whispering tone.

Walker looked at Cole, then his phone finally rebooted up, he looked at it, "Are you sure you are not a psychic?" The question was facetious in nature. It did not need an answer. "According to this text, she is in Hawaii and working." Cole could see the text, and it did not say anything like that. It must be some sort of code. It was simple, In Hawaii, having a great time, check the post card. Some how, Walker got that she was working out of that. "If she is working, check for recent unexplained Murders in Hawaii, ones that have Cultural and Religious Connections. Orders did not go through me, but I have been a little busy for the last couple of days. She was here when we left." He looked Cole in the eyes, "This house has an effect on clairvoyant magic. Like Phoebe, she could see could see the Tournament." Then he thought about it and had a realization. Cole could see it on Walker's face. "Cole, she was on the Comm line when one of our Brothers died. She heard it happen. She was the first person in the family to find out when our other Brother died." There was more, but he did not speak of it. "If this house and the magic of that tournament, gave her the ability to see it, she probably separated herself from watching it. If she is on a mission for the Order, it is probably a dangerous one."

Phoebe looked at Hunter, having seen the vision. Niki, on the other hand, just sat down, looking around at the family and wondered if she'd ever have that again.

"Don't lie to me." Cole said as he clearly saw the text.

Then he listened as Walker spoke.

"Where can i find her, do you have her coordinates?" Cole asked.

Just then Coop beamed in.
He rushed over to Phoebe.

"Thank god your safe." he said as he hugged her.

"Coop, I wasn't in danger." She said with a soft laugh. Niki just watched, looking lonely.

Walker looked at him, "Cole, I come from a Military Family. You come from a Family with Lawyers and Politicians. You understand that Lawyers have a way of speaking to each other, that outsiders do not even know. I was Military. Zee was Military. I know the way she communicates. She is working. She does jobs for the Order and uses Buckland Auction House as a Cover." He made a call. "This is John Walker. Yes that John Walker, your Boss. Do you have Zee Walker's Flight and Hotel Info? Yes, Zurine Walker." He looked at Cole, "Give me a second." Then he went back to the phone call. "Yes. Wait the Kahana Resort. Really? No, no. That is fine. I need you to set up same floor Accommodations for our Legal Advisor Cole Turner. He will be arranging his own transport." He looked at her, "She is booked at the Kahana Resort.

Then a Scroll appeared. He pulled out his knife and put a drop of blood on it. It unlocked and unrolled it. He read it and it became aflame. "Since I am the Ranking Druid in the Region, I am supposed to issue Orders to all Lesser Ranked Druids. I was busy, so they sent her Orders Directly. She has two missions. She was meeting with a Hawaii Priest and making a contact for the Order. Then She and a Rookie are going to be dealing with a Shojo. The Order wants to know if you will back them up? Help them contain and transport it, if not kill it. Do you know how to do that?" He legitimately did not know if Cole would know how to deal with this type of creature.

OOC: Only Kevin, John, Hunter, Henry, and James were physically at the tournament. The others watched it almost psychically, through their emotional/spiritual connections to them, or via their magical powers combined with the house's amplifying effect.
