.

Telzey Amerdon:One of the most powerful telepaths in the known galaxy. She can read and take over minds with varying degrees of difficulty. Some people are naturally immune. Also some mechanical or chemical mind shields are in use that can make her life more difficult. In this story she is 22 years old. She is 5'4" tall and a shapely little long haired brunnette.

Trigger Argee: One of the top agents of the galaxy's Federation of the Hub, a crack shot with lightning like reflexes. In this story she is 28 years old. She is 5'6" tall and a long haired curvy redhead.

The Federation of the Hub: Loosely rules over 1200 highly independent human worlds in the far future.

Old Galactics: A highly advanced civilization preceeding humanity who left some highly advanced artifacts behind, if you can find them.

The Psychology Service: A highly secret group of government psis that deals with major threats to the Hub. With or without Fleet support.


Time:The Far Future.
Place:The private asteroid Airevtal home of Dr Rotciv nov Mood.

Trigger and Telzey had gotten onto the asteroid with forged invitations to a party given by Dr Mood. Of course a little mental push here and there by Telzey had helped! Telzey was wearing a green mindress that ended 4" above her knees
and matching strap on pumps with 5" heels. Except for her dress and shoes being black Trigger was identically dressed. Slipping away from the party they began searching for Old Galactic artifacts that Dr Mood was suspected of stealing from
a planet being prepared for colonization. Trigger's skills, Telzey's psi powers and both of their feminine wiles got the two heroines past a variety of security devices, traps and guards. Thud! As Trigger clobbered the last guard from
behind, Telzey complained, "Why do I have to play the brainless broad whenever we run into a guard with a mind shield?"

Smirking Trigger gestured to the 6'6" muscular guard on the floor and said, "If you want to jump guys like this?"

Frowning Telzey sighed and said "OK you win! Let's get this over with!" With that they passed into Dr Mood's inner chambers!

Minutes later the two had found what they were looking for and then some! Not only the Old Galactic artifacts but a number of restricted weapons and devices, as well as a number of unknown items (Mood's own inventions). Trigger decided to
send off a message to her superiors and did so. That turned out to be a mistake. As soon as she finished her report she and Telzey walked out into the corridor and were surrounded on three sides! CLANK! The door slid shut behind them
cutting off their retreat! They were confronted by a handful of large armed guards a couple of security robots and nearly a dozen of Mood's scrawny cultlike followers!

Part 2: Scum and villiany!

The Present at a small exclusive and (more than)slightly shady private club.

Estatic over their apparent victory over the Source Piper had decided it was time to settle the score with an old enemy, namely Morpheous or as he calls himself Baron Blitzkrieg. The sisters had scried for his powers and tracked him to a private club. As a nice doctor and his assistant held the doors open for the ladies Piper muttered, "Railroad tracks and a sawmill both in sight of this place, very suspicious!"

Phoebe suggested, "Maybe the Baron owns the place and has had it especially outfitted, like for us!"

"Well let's get going!" Paige urged, "Get him before he comes after you again!"

Hearing thunderous applause the Charmed Ones headed towards it and burst into a large banquet hall. Some sort of roast was going on. To her sister's chagrin Phoebe blurted out, "Anybody seen an crazed Nazi warlock and his killer midget?"

Putting her hand to her head Piper grumbled, "Way to keep a low profile Pheebs!"

However Phoebe's question paid off as a slow witted henchman pointed out the way the Baron and Ootat had left!

Paige then said, "Maybe we can still catch them!"

"Right!" Piper said and continued "This time get them before they get us!" with that the Halliwell's dashed off after them!




Part 3:"MOOD, MOOD, MOOD!"
The Far Future.
Trigger cowered behind Telzey and said "Don't hurt us!" But her thoughts told a different story! 'If you can psi blast the guards, I can take out those robots with head shots!' Telzey responded 'Right! We will just let them close in a little to take us prisoner and then NOW!'

As the villians had closed in on the ladies they had grouped up and it proved a mistake! "AAAAAAARGH!!!" The guards screamed as Telzey was able to nail them all with a single wave of psi energy! BOOM! BOOM! Both robots head blew up from Trigger's deadly shooting! 60 seconds later after half of Mood's followers were moaning on the ground and the rest running, Telzey noted "Five shots in each robots head! You aren't losing your touch!"

Nodding Trigger answered, "Yes but still it is good these creeps fight like girls!" Telzey nodded and smiling Trigger continued, "They are almost as bad as you!"

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Telzey objected but then hurried after Trigger as she started out of the area! They got a few hundred yards further along when suddenly they saw more of Mood's flunkies! Just then two small nets dropped from the ceiling and bore them to the floor! The nets appeared to be made of white nylon ropes but as both T&T thought, 'Normal ropes aren't self wrapping and constricting!' "MMMMPH!!!" Both growled in unison as the nets got into their mouths! Then to Telzey and Trigger's surprise the flunkies dropped to their knees and started chanting, "MOOD, MOOD, MOOD!" Just then Dr Rotciv nov Mood
entered! He was wearing green armor with a grey toga & cloak over it. As Telzey and Trigger lay bound and gagged by the nets Mood came and towered over them!

Then he pointed at the heroines and said, "You didn't think you could send a message without detection did you? You are now prisoners of Rotciv nov Mood!"

Part 4:"such nice polite gentlemen."
"BLACKJACK!" Paige called out and a thugs blackjack teleported to her hand. WHAM! She put it to good use dropping a thug with one blow! Meanwhile Phoebe used her martial arts skills and Piper used her old freeze em and kick em where it hurts routine! As the last of the thugs lay moaning on the ground Piper said, "All of these thugs trying to grab us! Maybe the Baron isn't the only supervillian type around this place!"

Phoebe seeing the best in people objected, "Really Piper! They seem like such nice polite gentlemen. It's a good thing we came here when we did!" At this Piper puts a hand to her head and groans while Paige rolls her eyes! Oblivious to this Phoebe continued,"The Baron is probably going to make off with the club treasury and maybe even blow the place up!"

At that Piper raised an eyebrow and looked at Phoebe and then at Paige who had a thoughful look on her face. Then Piper said "You might actually have something there. After them!"









Part 5:"never pass up"

"MOOD, MOOD, MOOD!!!" The madmans fanboys continued to chant as Telzey struggled against her bonds. The strange net had constricted and wrapped itself so that both Telzy's and Trigger's arms were secured behind them at the wrists and elbows and pinned to their bodies with more netting above and below their breasts and at their waists. Furthermore their legs were bound above and below the knees and at the ankles. Finally the rope net had gotten a couple of coils in T&T's mouths and around their heads gagging them! Mood and his brainless minions thought the two heroines totally helpless. They were only half right!

Squirming into a sitting position Telzey thought, 'I'll just fry Mood's mind here and then get one of the brain dead morons to release us!' And with that she launched a psionic assault on Mood's mind!

"AAARGH!!!" Mood intially yelped but then got the pain under control and turned towards Telzey! A titantic battle of wills then ensued! All Mood had to do was raise his hands and blast her unconscious, but Telzey stopped him! Slowly as his flunkies did nothing but cheer Mood felt his will weaken and he tettered on the edge of defeat!

Just then Dr Mood's top aide entered and walked through the chanting, cheering flunkies and thought, 'Heh the great Dr Mood about to be defeated by a bound and gagged prisoner! He is so lucky to have me around and to have paid me on time!' With that he walked behind Telzey just as Mood was about to fall and ZAP!!! using a stunsap rendered her unconscious!

"I TRIUMPH! MOOD'S WILL IS SUPREME!!!" Mood bellowed as Telzey collapsed and even believed it!

"MMMMMMMPH!!!" Trigger growled at Telzey's attacker specifically looking at where he had stunned her.

Smirking Oobat the henchmidget said, "As my glorious ancestor Ootat once said, never pass up an opportunity to zap a heroine in the butt!"



Part 6:"has excellent table manners!"

The Charmed ones pursuit was interrupted when a blad clad man with a pencil thin mustache stepped into the hallway and said with a smile, "May I help you? I own this club, my name is Dastardly, but you can call me Jack."

Piper raised an eyebrow in suspicion but improvised quickly, "I am Piper Halliwell from the Price hospital for the Criminally Insane. These are my assistants. We are after a dangerous madman! You may know him as Baron Blitzkrieg!"

Phoebe thought, 'Wow! That was sharp on Piper's part. That is a real asylum where Cassandra(see Cassandra and Chaos) and Dan Gordon are both locked away!'

Mr Dastardly responded, "The Baron is a member in good standing and has excellent table manners."

Piper raises her arms and gestures wildly as she says, "He is a kidnapper, a killer and hangs out with the world most wanted midget!"

Jack responded with a straight face, "Everyone needs a hobby!"

As the sisters jaws drop they are unaware that elsewhere on the club grounds a conversation is going on. One with potentially dire consequenses for them!

As the Baron and Ootat were about to depart the mysterious criminal (known only by his alias of Tall-14)intercepted them and said, "The Halliwells are here! Jack is delaying them so you can get away!"

"I would rather trap them instead!" The mad warlock responded but,

"Big problem there! You know who is looking for you know whom again!" Tall-14 cautioned.

"Then we will have to work quickly! Have the glamorous ladies of Halliwell Manor directed to the golf course! Take care of that sign Ootat!"

As Tall-14 leaves Ootat removes a sign from the gate leading to the golf course that says, "ENTER AT OWN RISK! (Management is not responsible for death or dismemberment of any using this golf course!) Ootat tosses the sign into the bushes and the two enter the course chuckling!

Part 7:"Mood fears nothing!"

Back in the far future Mood's minions clustered around Telzey and Trigger. The two heroines had been taken to the central control room of the asteroid and were getting a lot of unwelcome attention from Mood's fanboys! "MMMMMMPH!!!" Trigger
growled through her gag as a fanboy got a little too friendly!

The fanboys pleaded with Oobat, "Can't we take their gags off? Come on, please!!!"

"NO!!!" Oobat yelled and the flunkies retreated from him as he angrily continued, "My family has been in the henchman game ever since the great Ootat back on old Earth! And he listed many reasons heroines should be gagged!!!"

Mood interjected, "Ungag them! Mood fears nothing that they might say!"

As Oobat grumbled the ladies were ungagged and Telzey said, "You will never get away with this!"

Oobat snickered and said, "Reason #3, heroines like to spout annoying cliches!"

Everyone turns and gives Oobat a dirty look and the alarm goes off!

"INTRUDER ALERT! MULTIPLE HULL BREACH'S BY STEALTH SHUTTLES!!!"

Mood laughs, "My defenses can repel any normal assault!"

Smiling Trigger said, "Do you consider 50 squads of Federation Battle Police normal?"


As Mood's base mobilized against the assault by the forces of law and order, Oobat added, "Reason #5, heroines like to taunt the boss!"


Part 8:'here we go again!'

Continuing their efforts to persuade Mr Dastardly of the Baron's evil, treachery and general scuminess Phoebe said: "And I bet he has embezzeled your club dues as well!"

Laughing Dastardly said, "Nonsense! I assure you that he hasn't stolen any club funds!"

Jokingly Paige said, "Why because you've already done it?"

Folding his arms and scowling Jack Dastardly replied, "I would like to see you prove that missy!"

Raising one eyebrow Piper smirked and said, "If half of what I am starting to suspect about this club is true, we don't need to prove anything. If we just tell your membership about this, it might just be too bad for you!" At this threat Dastardly turns a bit pale as Piper adds, "Now about the Baron?"

Listening from around the corner Tall-14 thought, 'So Jack did it this month! I guessed wrong and ruined Mmassey's safe for nothing! Oh well I will just have to take care of that later here comes Igor!' He then drew Igor aside and gave him Baron Blitzkrieg's instructions.

The Halliwell's grilling of Jack Dastardly was interrupted by an odd looking man carrying golf clubs. "Excuse me ladies I must caddy for the Baron."

At that Dastardly throws up his hands and says, "You win! Follow Igor there to the golf course and you will find the Baron and Ootat."

The sisters hurry after Igor and soon arrive at the entrance of, "The Perilous Golf Course!" Phoebe said and Piper thought, 'Great, just great, here we go again!'





Part 9:"a lot of widows and orphans"

Seeing the lethal legions of the law tear through his defenses Dr Mood ordered, "Activate Onion 1!" A technician did so and bulkheads slammed shut throughout the base! Then the outer ring of the base separated from the rest and the asteroid started to move! "Hah!" Mood turned to his captives and gloated, "In my infinite genius I designed this mobile asteroid like an onion. It can jettison sections and detonate them! Those police will leave a lot of widows and orphans behind! Detonate!"

With that a technician pushed a red button and ... nothing happened! Nothing except some mocking feminine laughter and Trigger saying, "We disarmed your bombs on the way in Mood!"

"Reason # 8, rubbing salt in a villians wounds." Oobat continued.

"Allright! Muzzle them already!" Mood snapped just as a technician shouted,

"Sir, the sector fleet is here!"

Mood and Oobat saw the technician was correct dozens of Rim Federation warships appeared on the screens and started calling on Mood to surrender for rehabilitation! Seeing himself boxed in by the navy and having no wish to be mentally adjusted Mood decided to take a grave risk!

"Prepare to activate the Mood drive!" He said and Oobat turned pale and thought, 'But the loonie has never tested that Old Galactic artifact! He thinks it will move us through time and space but to where?'

But there was no choice, as the alien artifact built up it's power the asteroid shook under the guns of the fleet!

"Detach Onion 2!" Mood ordered and as another section of his base was lost he pressed a final button and said, "Mood drive activated!" And with that the shrunken asteroid disappeared and went some other place and some other time!

Part 10:"Great, just great!"

On the golf course the Baron consulted with another man stylishly clad in black and said, "Shouldn't you be running or hiding Toomerlot?"

Twirling his mustache Toomerlot replied, "Yes but I don't want to pass up this opportunity. Besides with you and Ootat in plain sight the ladies won't suspect a trap!" The Baron conceded the point and he and Ootat stood near the 13th hole and waited.

Inside the course the Halliwells caught up to Igor as Phoebe tackled him from behind! "Was that really necessary?" Paige asked but Igor answered

"No that's quite allright! Would you like to put a headlock on me too miss? Or maybe a legscissors?"

Piper felt a headache coming on but said, "Phoebe let go of him! And you, Igor tell us where to find the Baron and Ootat!"

"But the Baron is a cheat! You gotta watch the midget!" Igor protested.

Piper just glared at him and Igor gulped and said, "Ok, he really likes to play single holes of golf with side bets. I am supposed to meet him at the 13th hole!" With that the sisters dashed across the course and Igor whipped out his cell phone and said, "They're coming!"

Elsewhere a man said, "He is practically a demon! The man is so despicable and loathsome! And I am certain he is around here somewhere!"

"No, no you must be mistaken!" The fast talking Mmassey stalled the man and his associates for all he was worth!

"De Halliwells boss!" Ootat yelled as the sisters ran up a hill and came into sight. Only a sandtrap separated the witches from their enemies. To the ladies surprise the villians began to flee!

The Baron blinked away leaving Ootat to fend for himself! Smiling Paige orbed in front of the fleeing Ootat while her sisters made their way down the hill! "Got you now you minaturized maniac!"

"Do you now?" Ootat replied as several things happened in quick succession!

The Baron blinked in behind Paige and pinned her arms and covered her mouth! "MMMMPH!" Paige screamed as she was tackled to the ground and the villians bound her wrists and ankles with plastic zip ties!

"PAIGE!!!" Piper shouted and in her concern for her sister she didn't notice a small tripwire pop up and send her and Phoebe tumbling towards the sandtrap!

Smirking as he hid behind some bushes the evil Toomerlot (having just activated the tripwire) pressed another button and said, "Fly the Perilous skys ladies!"

Piper didn't hear him as suddenly a well oiled slide was activated and came out of the ground in front of them! EEEEEEEEK!!!" They screamed as they went flying through the air and landed in the middle of the sandtrap!

"MMMMPH!!!" The now gagged with a red bandanna Paige screamed as she and her sisters realized that the Perilous golf course didn't have a sandtrap but instead,

"A QUICKSAND TRAP!" The Baron yelled in triumph as he and Ootat laughed at the rapidly sinking Piper and Phoebe!

'I have to get away and get help!' Paige thought and tried orbing away. Being new at this she reappeared still bound and gagged over the nearby water hazard!

"MMMMMPH!!!" She screamed as she hit the water and Piper and Phoebe cried out as well!

But the Baron said, "Don't vorry she won't drown. The vater hazard here comes complete with ..." and he points to a large reptillian form sliding into the water!

"Crocodiles!, Great just great!" Piper grumbles as the villians run off and she and Phoebe sink deeper into the quicksand!









Part 11:"We come in peace."

Things were not going well for Dr Mood. Though he would never admit he was getting a bit ... concerned. He glanced at the captive Telzey and Trigger. Both heroines had been gagged with cloth in their mouths and many strips of white tape over their lips. Both of their faces were bright red, from laughing at Mood!

Telzey tried to catch her breath and thought, 'So the Old Galactic device Mood named after himself takes us to the first new dimension. Within 10 minutes he is being denounced as a Chaos worshiping heretic and being attacked by Space Marines! Heh! If only this psi blocker around my forehead didn't stop my powers! We could have escaped then! Or in the next dimension!'

Having near identical thoughts Trigger chuckled and 'Mood's base lost another layer of his onion in the first dimension and two more against those robot tanks in the second dimension! But now,'

Oobat worried, 'Now in a third dimension after another use of the now melted down Mood drive we face one starship. If Mood can just get them to lower their shields ...'

Captain's Log 3/15/2378: The Starship Evil Dies.

"We have encountered a heavily damaged but still formidable mobile base belonging to a Dr Mood. He claims friendly intentions but I suspect treachery. While Dr McToy is away we have a temporary medical oficer assigned. Dr P. P. Stoppe's report(glances over to a black haired woman in a low cut, short skirted red uniform with black boots) concludes Dr Mood is a dangerous lunatic!(She smiles and waves, the captain smiles back) She wants to vanquish him! Odd choice of words but whatever! First Officer Mr Bock's suggestion was,"

"Mood is clearly a dangerous, emotional, madman. Destroy him before he destroys us. It's only logical!"

Smiling the Captain said, "I have made my decision. Open hailing frequencies and lock on all grasers!"(gamma rays amplified by stimulated emission of radiation)

Smiling Captain James G Herc said, "We come in peace!"

Mood relaxed and thought 'Now to spring the trap!' However he didn't know one thing, on the Evil Dies we come in peace was a code phrase for,

"Shoot to kill!" Echoed through the bridge as all of the weapons fired and

"KABLOOOM!!!"

As his ship is hammered by this new surprise attack Dr Mood is hurled to the floor! Suddenly everything stops! It seems as if time itself is standing still! Everything except Dr Mood, who sees a tall slender man in a red and black uniform appear before him laughing!

The man says, "I have been observing you with great amusement! Let's see if I can make it continue!"

Somewhat bewildered Dr Mood asks, "Who are you? What do you want?"

Smirking the man says, "Correct I am U of the U Underpinning! I want to give you another chance." And as he said this U thought, 'But you will probably bungle it anyway, you buffoon!'

Part 12:"I have no freaking idea!"

Piper thought quickly and said, "Quick Phoebe use your levitation!"

"Right Piper!" Phoebe responded and began to rise out of the quicksand!

Meanwhile the alligator closed in on Paige who screamed, "MMMMMMPH!!!" and thought, 'Help! They never told me about this kind of stuff when they asked me to move in!'

Piper grabbed onto Phoebe's belt as her sister levitated and said "OK Pheebs, now go horizontal!" And looking towards the water hazard said "Paige orb again now! "

Panicky Paige complied but couldn't control the orb! She reappeared still in the water! "MMMMMMPH!!!" She cried out for help!

"Hey! I'm not a horse!" Phoebe complained as Piper climbed onto her back.

"No Pheebs, you are a human rocket!" Piper said and blew up some quicksand behind them! Piper's action caused an equal and opposite reaction(physics 101)which hurled the sisters away and out from on top of the sandtrap!

"Ooof!!!" Phoebe moaned as she came in for a hard landing on her chest!

Piper leaped off and ran forward as the alligator closed in on the panicky Paige again and "BOOM!!!" she blew up the alligator!

Phoebe ran by and dove in to rescue the still bound and gagged Paige. Also Piper noticed something falling towards her! She caught a chain collar that read, "AL E GATOR, If lost return to MMassey at ..." Smiling wickedly Piper thought, 'Mmassey a name I'll remember!'

Just then Phoebe got Paige to shore and as they got her gag off she said, "Who are those guys?"

Behind the bushes the villainous Toomerlot gulped and thought, 'Time to make myself scarce!'

Seeing one man in a red uniform coming followed by three dozen more Phoebe said, "The British are coming!"

Actually they were the "Royal Canadian Mounted Police," The tall blonde and heroically built leader said and continued smiling, "My name is Doright, Captain Douglas Doright! Perhaps you have heard of my uncle Dudley?"

"Heh!" Piper said and muttered "Can this day get any weirder?"

(Piper really shouldn't have asked that!)

As his men cut Paige's bonds Doright explained "We are here to hunt down the world's most diabolical fiend!"

The Halliwells smile and the Mountie continues, "He is a killer,"

Piper felt her headache vanish and thought, 'Check!'

"A kidnapper," Doright went on,

Phoebe smiled and thought, 'Bingo!'

"Practicaly a demon among men!"

Paige rubbed her wrists and thought, 'A warlock actually but close enough!'

"And a con man who prey on widows and orphans!" Doright finished.

"HUH???" The sisters exclaimed in unison and Piper said, "You are after Baron Blitzkrieg aren't you?"

Scowling the mountie answered, "Of course not! Harmless crackpots like him are not my concern! We are after...(he pauses for dramatic effect) TOOMERLOT!!!!"

"Psst Piper?" Phoebe whispered,

and Piper responded, "What?"

"Who the heck is Toomerlot?"

Piper sighed and answered "I have no freaking idea!"

Part 13:"Perfect bait for a trap!"

"OK, here is the deal Mood!" U said and continued, "For my own amusement I will give you a hostage." With that he snaps his fingers and Dr Stoppe appears! "Use her as you will!"

Minutes later after a shocked Captain Herc had suddenly found his temporary doctor in Mood's hands a duel was set up! Oobat was finishing up on Dr Stoppe. The raven haired beauty was bound at the wrists, elbows, above and below the knees and now ropes were being added to secure her arms to her body. She complained mightily, "You can't do this to an officer of Warfleet! You will suffer for this or my name isn't Penelope Pruedence Stoppe!"

Grumbling Oobat thought, 'She might be right! I wanted to use her to get safe passage away from here, but no! Mood just has to challenge Herc to mortal combat with the promise we will surrender as well as free Dr Penelope P Stoppe! And of course he is going to try a double cross. And with most of our weapons and minions trapped in the damaged sections!'

Shortly thereafter the duel began! Mood struck first and tore Captain Herc's shirt! 'Oooh! Big mistake!' U thought and less than a minute later Mood was flat on his back!

"Surrender or die Mood!" Herc said as he kneeled over the villian and tried to insert his hand grazer into Mood's armors nose slit!

His armor shortcircuited, Mood was helpless and could only stare as Mr Bock and the security detail rounded up his fanboys!

Standing amidst a pile of nerve pinched minions, Mr Bock said, "We expected treachery from you. Given your nature it was only a logical precaution!"

The being known as U stopped time again and Mood asked "What happened? I was winning!"

Smirking U pointed to Herc and said, "Never rip the shirt of this type of heroic captain! Haven't you watched any old TV shows?"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!" Mood screamed and complained, "Heroes, always heroes! I wanna go someplace safe! Someplace where the only heroic opposition is in skirts!"

Snickering U replied, "Sexist too, Mood?" and continued, "If I could arrange that and even not cheat by say introducing you to a toga wearing hero, do you really think you would win?"

Looking at his captive heroines, Telzey and Trigger, Mood replied, "Yes just give me the chance!"

"OK, I knew it would come to this, because afterall I am U!" U replied and continued, "I controlled your third jump so that you are back in you own dimension just in the distant past."

"And?" Mood asked.

"And because of that your newest hostage" U points to Dr Stoppe "is a decendant of the heroines you will face. And not only that but a dead ringer for their deceased eldest sister."

"Perfect bait for a trap!" Mood exclaimed!

"Right!" U responded and snapping his fingers sent the rest of the Evil Dies crew back to their ship! And releasing the time freeze he said, "Next stop, 2002! Time to meet the sisters Halliwell!"

Back on the Evil Dies, Herc and Bock watched Mood's ship vanish and Bock said, "Captain it appears yet another annoying godlike being has meddled in our affairs!"

Herc groaned and cursed the missed opportunity with Dr Stoppe and said, "Yes nothing new to see here!"


Part 14:"just trying to help!"

The mounties had searched the course without success! Grumbling Doright said, "That fiend must be hiding under a rock somewhere!"

Trying to help out Phoebe pointed to a flat coffee table sized rock and said, "There's one!"

Sighing Doright said, "That was a figure of speech miss!" And continued, "He got away again. We are going to try and pick up his trail elsewhere, you three can leave now."

"But I was just trying to help!" Her feelings hurt Phoebe complained but Piper and Paige consoled her as they left.

Right after the last of the Mounties and sisters got out of sight, the nefarious Mmassey went over to the rock. He pressed a hidden trigger and the rock slid aside! Below was a small but cozy hideaway where Toomerlot sat sipping tea!

"They're gone, you can come out now! That blasted Phoebe pointed out your hiding place but Doright didn't listen to her!" Mmassy said as he gave his fellow fiend a helping hand out of the ground.

Smirking Toomerlot said, "Silly mounties! Don't even know good advice when they get it!"

Dr Mood's base arrived in 2002. The superbeing known as U altered the exterior of the base to resemble a new movie studio, Mood let Oobat know what had happened and announced his plans as "Try and take over the world!"

At that point Dr Penelope P Stoppe realized, 'Since there is no apparent way back to my time and warfleet I had better do something. Like use the power I have as part of my witchy bloodline!' With that she let out a scream, a sonic scream! "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Mood's minions began to collapse holding their ears in agony! Glass shattered and metal and ceramics vibrated! The entire room seemed about to come apart until, ZAPPPP!!! Oobat took her down with a stunsap to the rear!

Removing his (never far away) helmet Oobat said, "Reason #7 sonic screaming heroines are bad for you eardrums!"









Part 15:"Time to set a trap!"

Leaving the club and heading for Piper's jeep the Halliwell's squished along. Paige thought, 'I would complain about being wet but not when Piper and Phoebe are both wet and muddy from the quicksand.' She didn't notice a now familiar man standing behind a tree. The man namely U of the U underpinning heard the following,

"It going to be a long trip back in these muddy clothes." Phoebe glumly said.

And Piper continued, "Yeah, getting the mud stains off of the seats is going to be a bitch!"

And Phoebe added,"I wish we had some spare clothes."

Smirking U thought, 'Well Mood did ask to have to fight only heroic opposition in skirts, so I will play fair, just this once!' With that he snapped his fingers and the witches got a change of clothes!

"Eeek!!" Piper yelped as she nearly stumbled in her new outfit.She was now wearing a long sleeved purple blouse, a black leather miniskirt with a chain belt and dark brown pumps with 4" heels. Phoebe and Paige were now dressed in identical skirts and pumps but Phoebe had a short sleeved low cut white blouse and Paige a long sleeved red one. "What the hell is going on around here?" Piper yelled as the sisters started looking around for the cause of this event.

Meanwhile back at Mood's base Penelope Pruedence Stoppe had been effectively silenced. After hearing the witch's sonic scream Oobat went to the stores and found Moraxian Co Inc(serving villians everywhere since 1999!) kidnap kit #37. The kit was designed just for sonic screaming heroines. It had a nice leather strap with a very special type of pseudo rubber ball attached. After Oobat gagged Penelope with that device she could make no more noise than a normal heroine!

Dr Mood mused and thought, 'Repairs are underway to what's left of my base. Some I will have whatever weapons and monsters that were cut off by the various attacks at my disposal. And these Halliwell's will be coming right by this location!' Glancing over at the just now reviving Penelope he smiled and said, "Time to set a trap!"

Part 16:"a double for their late sister"

Unable to discover the cause of their sudden change of clothes the Charmed Ones got in Piper's jeep and left the villainous club. Snickering U went back to Mood's base and said, "OK Dr Mood your main heroic opposition to conquering this planet is on it's way! They are coming along the nearby highway. I am ensuring that no heroes will help them out as agreed" But U thought 'In spite of all this help I still think he is going to blow it! What a laugh it will be if he does!'

"Excellent!" Mood exclaimed and said, "I will ambush them and then begin my conquest of the Earth!"

Oobat interjected, "We have recovered some robots, monsters and other assorted minions and weaponry from parts of the base cut off by battle damage. However we are still way short of enough firepower to actually conquer the Earth!"

"I have a plan for that Oobat. We will use my T-missles!" Mood boasted.

"Mmmph?" Trigger, Telzey, and Penelope exclaimed in unision and wondered, 'What's a T-missle?'

"Now I just meed a plan to ambush the heroines." Mood said and started to pace.

Oobat indicated the hostage heroines and said, "We have three hostages, one a double for their late sister," he pets Penelope like a dog as she glares hatefully at him, and then points to monitor showing the highway and a RR crossing, and finishes, "and a set of railroad tracks! What more do we need?"









Part 17:"Prue?"

Driving back in Piper's jeep the Halliwell's approached a RR crossing. Prudent as always Piper stopped to check for oncoming trains. She and Paige looked to the left which was clear but suddenly Phoebe cried out! "EEEEEEKKK!!!" Piper and Paige's heads snapped around at this as Phoebe pointed and said,"Three women are on the tracks!!!"

Those three women were of course Telzey Amberdon, Penelope Pruedence Stoppe and Trigger Argee! The three ladies had been laid side by side on the railroad tracks and tied throats to ankles. That is in addition to their previous bonds Telzey's throat now had a noose around it which was attached to Penelope's ankles which were right beside her head. Similarly her ankles were attached to the noose on P.P. Stoppe's neck. Finally Trigger was attached to Penelope P. Stoppe in the same way as Telzey just on the other side. Telzey thought, 'This fiendish neck to ankles leashing means we can't even sit up without strangling
each other!' 'Much less get off of these tracks!' thought Trigger!

The Halliwell's rushed toward the three captives and the three cried out, in unison "MMMMMMMMPH!!!!!!"


"Don't worry, we will save you!" Phoebe said but she didn't realize what Dr Stoppe was thinking;

'It's a trap!'

The witches might well have realized that but just then they got a good look at Penelope Pruedence Stoppe! Piper and Phoebe's jaws both dropped and they turned pale and croaked out, "Prue? "In shock, they didn't hear the noise behind them! "Hey!" Piper yelped as out of the bushes a large weighted net flew and engulfed all 3 sisters! Five barbaric looking men rushed out of ambush as the sisters were tripped up and fell to the ground! They surrounded the netted witches with shortswords and ropes in hand!

The leader leered at them as he said, "By the command of Dr Mood, you three trollops are now the prisoners of the Slavers of Jor!"

Just then, TOOOOOOOOOOOT!!! A train whistle was heard right on time!

Back at Mood's base the scene was being watched through hidden cameras. U had introduced the not so good doctor Mood and Oobat to popcorn which they ate as they watched! As the train rolled towards the three heroines on the tracks and the slavers moved in to further secure the witches Mood turned to Oobat and smirking said, "And you said the Joreans couldn't do anything right!"

Part 18:'60 seconds to live!'

Trigger turned her neck in the strangling noose and she judged the oncoming trains rate of approach. With her eaglelike eyesight and marksmanship skills she concluded that the track tied heroines had '90 seconds to live!' Would that be one of her last thoughts?

The Jorean slavers closed in on the three netted little witches with malice in their hearts and lust in their eyes! Then one little witch vanished! A second little witch left the ground and took the net with her! And the third?


The third little witch said, "OK, now I am MAD AS HELL!!!" KABLOOOM!!! Piper gestured and the ground exploded in front of the two nearest slavers and sent them flying!

Another slaver rushed Piper from behind, big mistake! WHAM! Phoebe stopped levitating and fell on him from above!

And not to be left out Paige said, "ROCKS!" And orbed some small rocks from the ground and hurled them at the slavers!

Back at Mood's base U laughed, Mood fumed and Oobat smirked and said, "Yes, I did say and I repeat the Joreans can't do anything right!"

However still on the tracks were Telzey, Penelope and Trigger who looked at the train and thought, '60 seconds to live!

Part 19:"GO TRAIN GO!!!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!" One of the slavers screamed as Piper stepped on him! As one of her 4 inch heels ground into a kidney and the other pinned a hand he continued yelling!

As she surveyed the battlefield Piper said, "Shut up and take it like a man, you wuss!" And continued to herself "Now where did the other one go?"

'45 seconds to live!' Trigger thought as the train bore down on the bound and gagged trio!

"MMMMMMMMPH!!!" Penelope Pruedence Stoppe led the three hostage heroines in a muffled but still impressive scream!

Hearing this Phoebe finished off her man and ran to the RR tracks! She discovered that she couldn't get them off since they were tied together and she couldn't lift all three at once! She screamed "PIPER!"

'30 seconds to go!' Trigger thought.

Piper turned and left her victim moaning on the ground. As she hurried towards the tracks she thought, 'I have never frozen anything the size of a train before. I had better get as close as I can!' However she missed the Jorean she had been looking for! He had hidden in some bushes after the first explosion and now rushed Piper from behind!

Meanwhile Paige had her opponents bruised and unconscious from a hail of orbed rocks. She had just picked up one of the slavers swords when she heard,

"HEY!" Piper yelped as the slaver used a leather hood on her from behind! "MMMMMMPH!!!" Her cries were muffled as he tightened the hood at the neck making the mightiest of the Charmed One's blind and momentarily helpless!

"HAH!" Mood cried out in triumph as he watched on the monitors and he said and his minions echoed, "GO TRAIN GO!!!"

Oobat just munched some popcorn and noted that there were now just, '15 seconds to go!'

Phoebe knelt beside Penelope and desperately attacked the knots holding her to the others! "Not again! I don't know how you are alive but I can't let you die again!"

That was the scene as the train rapidly approached and a countdown began at Mood's base "10, 9,8,

"GO TRAIN GO!!!"

7,6,5,

"GO TRAIN GO!!!"

4,3,2,

"GO TRAIN GO!!!"

"Got it!" Phoebe yelped excitedly as the knots on the noose came free but she looked up and said, "Uh, oh!"

1....


Part 20:"Let's check the instant replay!"

With the train virtually in her face Phoebe did the only thing she could. She closed her eyes and kissed it all goodbye! As her life flashed before her eyes she thought,'I never even felt the train hit!' And then WHACK!!! "OWW!!!" Phoebe yelped and opened her eyes to see a smiling Paige(who had just given Phoebe a good whack on the butt with the flat of one of the Jorean's swords) and the train?

Back at Mood's base they saw the train was frozen just inches from the first of the three heroines bodies! Another split second and all 3 on the tracks and Phoebe would have been quite dead. "What happened?" Mood complained and Oobat answered,

"Let's check the instant replay!" With that the malevolent midget manipulated the controls of the other monitors and to show what Paige and Piper had been up to 15 seconds ago. Putting up a split screen the audience saw Paige orb behind the hooded Piper and her captor! Using the pommel of the sword Paige rammed it into the base of the Jorean's skull at the ten second mark! Then Paige hurriedly loosened and removed the stifling leather hood from her sister's head!

"EEEEK!!!" Piper yelped seeing the train nearly on top of Phoebe and the others and froze it with just a split second to spare! "Hurry up and get them off the tracks, I don't know how long I can hold this train!" Piper worriedly said.

After that Paige orbed over and whacked Phoebe, and they got to work getting the three trussed ladies separated from each other and off of the tracks. With the Jorean's sword they just managed to get the neck to ankle bonds severed and the trio off of the tracks before the train unfroze!

With that Piper hurried over and the Halliwell's got to work freeing the hostage heroines as the audience in Mood's base broke out with a chorus of boos and hisses!

When Penelope's gag was removed the first thing she said was, "Sorry, but I am not Prue! I am Penelope Pruedence Stoppe PHD! I am one of your descendants and an involuntary time traveler!"

Piper's jaw dropped at this and she turned her head towards the heavens and said, "When I asked if this day could get any weirder, I was just kidding! Can't anybody take a joke?"


Part 21:"So we have to save the world." "Again?"

At a nearby fast food restaurant the three ravenous ex prisoners finished their meal and concluded their story,

"So Dr Mood is going to use his future technology to try and take over the world!" Tezley said and then ate another french fry.

"And that idiotic superbeing U will keep any hero types from interfering." Said Penelope as she finished her burger.

"So it's up to us to stop him!" Trigger added and then sipped her diet coke.

"So we have to save the world." Piper unhappily concluded.

"Again?" Phoebe sighed.

"Cool!" Paige said and everyone looked at her strangely. So she shrugged and said, "I've never saved the world before!"

So with that the six heroines climbed into Piper's jeep and headed towards Mood's base. 'What new dangers will await us there?' Piper thought and worriedly continued, 'I just hope Penelope isn't as headstrong and hard to control as Prue
was. Otherwise we could end up blundering into a trap!'

The sensors at Mood's base picked up Piper's jeep from miles away and their approach was reported to Mood who smirked and said, "Excellent! I have a very interesting trip planned for them! HAAAAAAA! HAAAAAA"

At that Oobat thought, 'Oh great he is doing the insane cackling bit again!'









Part 22:as the slavering horde closed in!

The Halliwell's and their three new friends arrived at Mood's base which thanks to U appeared to be a movie studio complete with a chain link fence topped by barbed wire! The fence was locked and Piper said, "I could blow it up but it would be better if we could get in quietly."

CLICK! Piper had barely finished thinking out loud when Trigger Argee popped the lock right off! "Lockpicking is part of the job." Trigger said and the 6 heroines went into the base.

As they went through the gate Phoebe brushed the chain that had locked the fence and had a premonition, "OH MY GOD!!!" Phoebe screamed!!!

Piper and Paige realized something bad was in store and demanded, "What? What did you see???"

A minute earlier inside the base, Mood had said, "Oobat unleash a few of my pets. That should herd those silly heroines into the trap!"

"Or kill them all!" Oobat responded and reminded Mood that, "Your pet aliens are 7'feet tall with vicious teeth, claws and of course acid blood!"

Waving his hand in an imperious fashion Mood responded, "You know what they say about omeletes and eggs! Now let them have it!"

Phoebe was about to tell of her premonition when the ladies spotted the oncoming monsters! 5-10 of them came from both the left and right flanks! They instinctively turned to exit through the gate but out of a hidden tunnel a dozen more monsters emerged!

"Uh oh!" Piper, Paige and Penelope said in unison as the slavering horde closed in!

Part 23: her delicate skin!

BOOM!! Piper took out one of the monsters and the ladies retreated deeper into the base!

In his control room Mood smirked and thought, 'If only my pets hadn't been trapped when Captain Herc was around! Oh well at least I have them now and soon they will drive these Charmed Ones right into my trap!' "HAAAA! HAAAAAAA! HAAAAAA!"

Putting his space helmet back on Oobat adjusted the volume and thought, 'All that insane cackling gives me headaches!'


Speaking of loud noises, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!" Penelope Pruedence Stoppe used her sonic scream to kill off a monster and drive back the others on the left flank!

ZAP!!! THUD!!! Telzey Amberdon fried another monster's mind on the right flank and "SWORD!!!" Paige orbed a captured Jorean sword into another monster!

"EEEEK!!!" Phoebe screamed as the acid like blood of the monster struck the ground just inches short of her delicate skin!

But all would have been lost and the heroines already dead if not for Piper! Between her freezing and exploding powers she singlehandedly fought off the monsters from the rear and propped up the left flank when P. P. Stoppe began to
to tire!

With their backs to the wall and no room left to run, Piper rose to the occasion! With Penelope exhausted and Trigger and now Paige weaponless only Piper and Telzey could still oppose the remaining monsters. And they did! Like warrior goddesses of myth they rallied, stood their ground and fought back until they were on the verge of total victory!

Then the bottom dropped out! "EEEEEEEEK!!!" The startled heroines screamed as a trapdoor opened and they plunged into ....????


(oh that would be telling! continued natch!)









Part 24:"the target ..."

At Mood's base Phoebe slowly regained consciousness. She tried to move but could not! She felt cold metal wrapped tightly around her body. As her vision cleared she saw just how much trouble she was in! Her wrists were shackled behind her back
and she was wrapped in many yards of chain! From just below her breasts all the way down to her waist, above and below her knees and around her ankles she was wrapped and locked in light chains! There was something rubbery in her mouth and
it was covered with white tape. As she looked to her left she saw Penelope Pruedence Stoppe identically secured and just now waking up. To her right Piper was starting to come around as well. Still unconscious Paige was next to Piper, then came Trigger Argee and finally Telzey completed the circle on the other side of P.P. Stoppe.

Speaking of the circle in addition to their individual bonds a set of heavy chains went around all of the heroines holding them together and in a standing position. As Piper regained her senses she thought, 'Oh! There was some sort of gas in that pit and now we are all chained to'(Piper looks over her shoulder and sees) 'A MISSLE!!!' "MMMMMPH???" She yelped and looked at Phoebe!

"Mmmph!" Phoebe nodded her head and thought,'Yes,this is the premonition I never got to tell you about earlier!'

Just then a large monitor comes on and Dr Mood appears and begins to speak, "Congratulations ladies, you have fallen victim to the invincible Rotciv Nov Mood!"

"MOOD, MOOD, MOOD!!!" His followers chant in the background and Dr Mood
continues,

"But of course you did, I never fail!"

"MMMPH! MMMPH! MMMPH!" Telzey and Trigger nearly choked on their gags as they began to laugh uncontrollaby at Mood's bald faced lying!

The captive P's were puzzled by this and thought that T&T were choking!

Mood continued "Now you will have the honor of dying for the glory of Mood?"

'What the hell is he talking about?' Piper thought but the answer was quick in coming,

"If your leader refuses to surrender to me that missle will be launched!"

'Launched at where?' Phoebe wondered but not for long!

Mood gestured wildly and then cackled insanely again!
"Launched of course at the political and military nerve center of this country, the target ... Washington DC!!!"

Part 25:"Is that so much to ask?"

Washington DC:

In the Oval Office in the White House, President Bush is about to munch out on a huge club sandwich when the phone rings. An assistant answers and says, "Mr President there is a meglomaniaical madman on line 1!"

"Sadaam Hussein?" Bush asks as he puts down the sandwich in midbite.

And the assistant responds, "No, he says his name is Mood and he is threatening to level Washington!"

A couple of minutes later Mood is put through and says, "How dare you put me on hold! I am Mood!" Five minutes of ranting and threatening later, Mood concludes, "So unless you surrender your entire country to me I will level your capitol and devastate the surrounding area with my trembler missle!"

The president responded, "So you claim this will create an artificial earthquake?"

"Not just any earthquake, one that will level every building for a 43 mile radius!" Mood proudly boasted!

"Um, hold on a minute!" Bush said as Mood was put on hold and turned to an aide and asked "Has our consultant heard everything?" With an nod the aide indicated he had and brought the consultant, one Professor Proteus, into the conversation.

The noted eccentric(don't call him mad he hates that!)scientist gave his evaluation of Mood's threat, "Mr President this Dr Mood is a total and utter fraud! Such a weapon cannot be built with 21st century tech! If it could I would have done it already!"

Five minutes later at Mood's base, "AAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!" Mood screamed in fury! He then began pacing in a circle around the 6 heroines and the trembler missle they were chained to. He ranted, "Not only would he not surrender but he called
me a madman! Said I would be hunted down and shot like a mad dog!"

In his fury Mood doesn't realize that U, Oobat and his captives are all laughing at him!

"All I want is to become God-Emperor of Earth! Is that so much to ask?"

"Mmmph!!!" Piper, Phoebe, Penelope, Telzey and Trigger all nod their heads yes(Paige was still unconscious from too much gas) and Piper thinks 'Yes it is you madman!'

Mood does notice that and says "Well it's a trip to Washington for you!" With that he and his minions leave and the captives hear a loudspeaker say "Beginning countdown to launch!" With that a digital clock starts at 60 and starts counting
down the seconds to launch!

As she struggles and sees the countdown begin Piper looks heavenward thinks, 'I really was kidding about the day getting weirder! C'mon give us a break!'

But the countdown continued...








Part 26:'just five more minutes.'

45 seconds were on the clock and Piper thought furiously, 'If I try and blow up the missle while we are chained to it, it might kill us all!" Just then she glanced towards Paige and saw her head move! 'That's it! Wake up little sister!'
she thought and twisted towards Paige and made all the noise she could, "MMMMMMMMMPH!!!"

Paige groaned and semiconscious thought, 'Blasted alarm clock, just five more minutes.'

Trigger noticed what Piper was doing and thought, 'I can't reach my lock picks from this position so I might as well try to help out. I just hope Piper knows what she is doing!' "MMMMMMMMMMMPH!!!"

With the muffled screams on both sides of her Paige suddenly came fully awake and saw, 'A giant red clock reading 30 and counting down! And we are chained' looks over her shoulder, 'to a MISSLE!!!' "MMMMMMPH!!!" She screamed and more
importantly orbed!

CLANK!!! Without Paige the heavy chains were no longer tight enough and slid to the floor! Piper, Phoebe, Penelope, Telzey and Trigger all began hopping away from the missle! There were 20 seconds to go!

The taller Trigger hopped past Piper and dropped to the floor. Reaching back to her shoes she removed a hidden lockpick from a hidden compartment in her heel! Piper thought, '15 seconds to go, how is that going to help?'

Click! CLANK! First Trigger picked the lock on one of her cuffs and then the padlock securing her torso chains, which fell to the floor! She then hopped up and grabbed Piper!

'Wow she's fast!'Piper thought as Trigger turned to her shackles but continued, 'But there are only 5 seconds to go!'

In the control room Mood watched his missle rise from the silo and slowly gain altitude. The missle used an electromagnectic launch system rather than primitive rockets. It was a much neater system that didn't tear up the silos. However Mood
discovered one drawback as KABLOOOOOOOOM!!!! The missle exploded just as it climbed past 100 feet in the air!

His jaw dropped and stunned Mood asked "What happened?"

With a knowing smirk the being known as U said, "Looks like the skirts kicked your butt Mood!"

Part 27:"those blasted broads!"

As the intercom was still on Mood's question was heard in the silo. Where Piper spit out her gag, blew imaginary smoke from her finger and smiling said "Piper happened!"

As Trigger finished picking the locks on her leg chains she came to work on Piper's and said "Luckily I was able to get your cuffs and shackles off quicker. It was a lot easier starting with my own hands free."

The others started hopping over to Trigger except for Paige who orbed and nearly fell!Piper caught her and started peeling off her gag and said, "Once everyone is free, we can blow this joint!"

As the rubbery gag was pulled from her mouth Paige worked her strained jaw and said, "You mean run for it?"

Smiling Piper steadied her sister as Trigger worked on Paige's chains and said, "No sis I mean blow up this joint!!!"

"I'm not beaten yet!" Mood proclaimed as he paced, "I just have to take care of those blasted heroines again!"

His feet up a smirking U asked "And then what?"

Stopping and striking a dramatic pose the futuristic fiend answered, "Continue with my plans. I can still blackmail the world into surrender because I still have" Mood pauses dramatically "12 more trembler missles!!!"

His fanboys begin chanting " MOOD, MO"

KABLOOOOOM!!!

"What was that?" Mood reacted to the explosion and got his answer!

Oobat checked the monitors and said, "Well boss you now have 11"

KABLOOOOOOM!!!

"make that 10 trembler missles left! But not for long unless you stop those blasted broads!"

Elsewhere Trigger unlocked the door to another silo and Piper took out another trembler missle. KABLOOOOM!!

As she went down the hall singing could be heard,

"10 little missles sitting on the wall." Phoebe began.

"Piper blew up one!" Penelope continued,

And Paige joined in, "9 little missles..."

Are the Charmed Ones & friends finally victorious?
Or does Mood still have a shot at victory?
Wait and see!









Part 28:"Oh shutup already!"


Chaos reigned at Mood's base. Desperate to save his irreplacable missles, Mood sent all his forces after the witches and friends! "That will stop them!" He said, but his voice lacked confidence. There was good reason for that as his
monitors soon revealed!

"AAAAAAAAH!!!" Penelope sang and CRASH! A passageway collapsed blocking the advance of his killer robots!

"Hey boss," Oobat noted "that's the 3rd time today!"

"Oh shutup already!" Mood barked back!

Whack! Phoebe decked a minion and tossed his blaster to Trigger saying, "You know how to use this?"

BLAM! A single shot was Trigger's answer! A single shot that went right between the eyes of one of the remaining alien monsters! THUD!

ZAP!!! Telzey psiblasted a couple more but didn't see a net falling from above!

"Ah!" Mood exclaimed, "something is going my way!" But it just wasn't his day!

"NET!" Paige cried out and orbed the net away from Telzey and redirected it to some monsters! It didn't hold them long but bought precious time.

Time for KABLOOOOM!!! Piper to trash more missles!

"AAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!" Mood screamed in rage and dashed off to battle the heroines himself!

KABLOOOOM!!! Piper blew up the next to last missle!

Mood rushed in and Phoebe kicked him right in the face! Her mistake!

"EEEEEEK!" She screamed as energy coursed through her body from Mood's electrified armor! THUD!

Seeing Piper about to blow up his last missle he shot for her back!

"AAAAAAAAARGH!!!" A scream rang out as KABLOOOM!!! Piper blew up the last missle! She turned to find that Penelope Pruedence Stoppe had taken the beam meant for her!

"NO!" Piper cried out in dismay as she saw both her sister and her descendent lying motionless on the floor!

Meanwhile Mood angrily strode forth to finish the four remaining heroines...









Part 29:'I hate force fields!'

Piper knelt beside Penelope and realized that she was only stunned! In wonder Piper felt Penelope's back and discovered, 'She has some sort of vest under there! She saved my life and it saved hers!' Then Piper left Penelope and went to join the battle with Mood.

Said battle was going well, for Mood that is! Telzey had started things off with another psi attack. As she began to mangle Mood's mind she thought, 'No sneaky henchmidget's in sight! This time I will reduce him to a gibbering idiot!'

She had started hammering down Mood's mental defenses but got a nasty surprise! "EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" A very high pitched whine came from Mood's armor and hammered into the ears of the nearby Telzey, Trigger and Paige! It especially affected Telzey! "Your psionic attack triggered a high frequency sonic brainwave inhibitor, " Mood boasted and continued, "painful to all with normal hearing but crippling to someone whose brain patterns have been recorded and stored in my armor! Namely you miss Amberdon! I installed it after our first encounter!" Mood finished but Telzey didn't hear him, she was already unconscious!

"OOOOH!!!" Paige said as she got a face full of gas and dropped to the floor unconscious!

"You son of a..." Piper yelled as she saw Paige fall and then tried to blow up Mood! The first blast hit something in front of the madman and Piper thought, 'I hate force fields!'

Rocked and hurled to the floor by Piper's attack Mood thought, 'I can't spare the power for a normal blast or my force field will collapse! She is too far away for gas, so my paralyzer ray will have to do!'

Trigger was still shooting monsters but had been forced to retreat next to Piper. Then a green beam from Mood's armored gauntlet struck Piper and she became instantly paralyzed! "Uh oh!" Trigger said as Mood started to get up and thinking quickly grabbed Piper and tossed her over a shoulder!

Mood had a perfect shot at the fleeing Trigger's back but just then his robots broke through and got in the way!Mood cursed in fury but the unfortunate interruption let Trigger escape with Piper in tow!









Part 30:"will of course die!"

Back in the control room Oobat looked at U suspiciously and said, "That was awfully convenient! The great U of the U underpinning wouldn't have had anything to do with the robots busting through just in time?"

Smirking as usual U replied, "Just because these women are much more entertaining than a bald Frenchman and his starship crew? Just because I haven't had this much fun in years? You think that I might cheat so it would continue?"

"Well yeah!" Oobat responded.

A short time later Mood was fuming over the escape of Trigger and Piper and U was nowhere to be found. Oobat however was secretly admiring a small pouch full of perfectly cut diamonds and thinking, 'For an arrogant, manipulative, superbeing, U isn't a bad guy!'

As Mood watched the four captured heroines were bound and gagged. Using Moraxianco Inc brand custom metal restraints made escape impossible. These fiendish devices consisted of ordinary looking inch wide bands of gray metal. However these bands could be manipulated electromagnetically so that they could be custom fitted to the prisoners they held. Phoebe, Paige, Telzey and Penelope all awakend to find such bands binding their wrists, elbows, above and below their knees, ankles and securing their arms to their bodies just below their breasts. Furthermore the hostages were gagged with thick white strips of cloth which held a spongy material in their mouths! As the four blearily opened their eyes and came aroudn Mood said, "I have devised a new plan! One of you will help me conquer the world!"

"MMMMMMPH????" Bewildered the four blurted out and Phoebe thought, 'What the heck is he talking about?'

And smiling broadly Mood continued, "And the other three will of course die!" Then he explained his plan.

At this Oobat turned pale from shock and objected, "But boss everytime that idea has been tried it eventually destroyed civilization and killed off most of a planets population!"

Glaring scornfully at Oobat Mood said, "Those were lesser beings, I am MOOD!!!"

"MOOD, MOOD, MOOD!!!"' His fanboys chanted!

Phoebe hadn't understood why Mood's plan would destroy civilization but as she struggled in her bonds she brushed against Telzey and got a premonition! It showed her clearly insane people murdering each other, by the millions! And that was just in San Francisco! Worriedly she thought, 'Piper where are you?'

Trigger had taken Piper back to the jeep and strapped her into the passenger seat up front. The she had driven a few miles away to give the eldest witch time to recover. Piper had just shaken off the last effects of Mood's paralyzing ray and started to talk to Trigger about a rescue when a man popped into the back seat of the jeep! Smiling U said, "Ladies, we have quite a bit to talk about!" Seeing their anger and that they were about to attack U waved his hands and Piper and Trigger were suddenly wrapped in constricting bands of blue energy! They were wrapped from their mouths all the way to their ankles! Smirking U leaned forward and continued, "Now ladies, I would strongly advise you to listen closely! That is if you want to ever see your sisters or friends again!"

Helpless, Piper and Trigger looked at each other, then turned to U nodded in agreement and said , "Mmph!"

Snapping his fingers U released them and began to speak...

Part 31:"Fun for me that is!"

"As Trigger Argee already knows, I brought Dr Mood here to this time and promised him that no heroes would be allowed to intervene." U began.

"But you changed your mind?" Piper interrupted and said, "LEO!"

"No, my dear Piper he can't hear you! Whatever else I am I always keep my word." U responded and seeing Piper scowl at this continued "However, I will do nothing to stop you from recruiting ..."

"Villians?" Piper raised an eyebrow and said. U smiled and clapped softly as Piper continued, "You want us to do the old good guys and bad guys team up to save the world thing?"

"Actually it would be good girls and bad guys but yes I won't stop you! It sounds like even more fun!" As Piper and Trigger stare daggers at him U just smirks and adds, "Fun for me that is!"

"But why would any villians want to help stop Mood?" Trigger questioned.

"Let me show you about his plan." U said and began to reveal Mood's intentions. He held up his hand and showed what was happening inside Mood's base!

Still bound and gagged and with a psi blocker around her forehead poor little Telzey was strapped into a chair. This chair had a metallic headcap which was placed on her head and activated! Telzey cried out, "MMMMMMMPH!!" and turned pale from the strain!

Mood explained to his other captives, "This device will program her into becoming a helpless slave of the greatness that is Mood!" Phoebe, Paige, and Penelope all look at him in anger and disgust but oblivious Mood continues, "Then I will hook her up to a large battery of psi amplifiers. This will extend her area of effect worldwide and through her I will control every mind on the planet!"

"Um boss?" Oobat interjected and despite a scowl from Mood continued, "You know that about 1 in a thousand people will be too strong willed to be affected? And that everytime that this has been tried before (in the history of the future) that eventually the psi goes nuts? And the whole planet with them?"


In a dangerously icy voice Mood responded, "The ones who resists control will die by the hands of those who are controlled. And I will solve the problem of overstrained psis going insane. Aferall I am Mood!"

"MOOD! MOOD! MOOD!" His fanboys chanted again!

Then U ended the show and turned to Piper and said, "That's why! Have fun!" And with that he vanished!

Piper sighed and pulling out a map and a crystal said, "You drive and I'll try and locate our target by his powers."

Trigger started up the jeep and asked, "Who exactly are you trying to find?"

Piper frowned and said, "A villian who calls himself ..."









Part 32:"Can't we talk things over?"

The jeep came to a stop and white faced, Piper said, "Trigger about the traffic lights, yellow does not mean floor it!" Trigger just smirked and waved her off as they had reached their destination. "The museum of Classic Terror and Horror," Piper said and continued, "this brings back memories!" Piper's memories included witch hunters, a warlock and being strapped down under a swinging pendulum, so she put them aside and said, "So this is where the Baron is hiding out!" With that she led Trigger in search of her old enemy.

Back at Mood's base the brainwashing of Telzey continued. Meanwhile Mood considered various methods of disposing of his other three captives. While he was doing that Oobat watched an old movie. With horror in her eyes Paige thought, 'Don't get any ideas Mood!' But luck wasn't with her as Mood turned and looked at the screen just as the hero said, "Do you expect me to talk?" The villian's familiar reply was drowned out as Mood and others clapped heartily! Pressing her head back against a wall Paige fretted, 'Boy are we going to get it!'


Having snuck in through a side door(Trigger picked the lock) the two heroines got into the part of the museum the public doesn't see and Piper heard familiar voices coming from a back room!


"You have a lot of cash there Tall, did you know someone knocked over Jack's safe back at the club?" Ootat asked.


Piper stuck her head around the corner and looked into the room! She saw four men playing poker and eating enormous club sandwiches.


"Naah, I hadn't heard about that!" Tall-14 responded but thought, 'Did it but hadn't heard about it. I need the cash the way these guys cheat!'

"LAR!!! That's 3 pots in a row!" Blitzkrieg complained as the museum's mysterious curator revealed yet another winning hand!

"And don't forget the rent Baron!" LAR said and moving his hand over a hidden button continued, "And fees for other services, like this!" He pressed the button and a trapdoor opened beneath Trigger and Piper!

"EEEEEEEEEEK!!!" Piper screamed as the two fell but not for long! They plunged into the pit and hit a net! Hopelessly entangled they were brought back into the room upside down! As the four fiends surrounded them Piper asked, "Can't we talk
things over?"







Part 33:'Paige is going to kill me!'

'This isn't how things were supposed to go!' Piper thought. She thought that because she was tied to a chair and Trigger was hanging around! The Baron and Ootat had tied Piper's wrists, elbows, knees and ankles and LAR and Tall-14 had done the same to Trigger! Piper had tried to explain the situation but the fiends didn't believe her! Both heroines had been gagged with red bandannas and taken to a large, and to Piper familiar room! The Nazi warlock used some more rope around Piper's stomach to hold her in a wooden chair and the other villians had hung Trigger up by her ankles! And now Trigger was being lowered towards the same vat of boiling oil that had once nearly claimed Prue's life! 'Just like old times!' Piper thought in disgust.

"MMMMMMPH!!!" Trigger screamed as inch by inch she was lowered toward the boiling oil! Looking at Piper she pleaded with her eyes for the little witch to do something!

Piper frantic turned towards the nearby Ootat and got his attention, "Mmmph!, Mmmph!" Ootat came over and loosened her gag and slipped it down around her neck.

Then he said "Make it good babe and don't try any of that rhyming stuff!"

Drawing in a breath Piper argued, "I was telling you the truth, help convince the Baron of it or Mood will kill you all! Just examine the gun you took from Trigger, it's not from our time!"

Trigger swung lower and the other villians laughed!

Rubbing his chin Ootat considered and said, "I don't know, can you sweeten the deal any?"

Rolling her eyes Piper thought, 'Well a killer midget can't be much worse than an ex demon in law!' And so she said "Do as I ask and provided you promise not to try and hurt her and I will also set you up on a date with my sister Paige!"

Trigger was just about to hit the oil when Ootat's voice rang out, "STOP!!!"

Shortly thereafter a demonstration of Trigger's futuristic gun and a few calls by Tall-14 confirmed Piper's story. Puzzled she asked "How is it that you have connections to find out about Mood's threatening call to the White House?"

Smiling Tall-14 responded, "Well I may be a killer, mercenary and rogue but by God I am an AMERICAN killer, mercenary, and rogue!"

At that the other villians dab at their eyes with hankies and raising an eyebrow the now freed Piper and Trigger lead the Baron and Ootat off to battle. As they leave Piper glances back at Ootat and thinks, 'Paige is going to kill me!'









Part 34:'Where is Piper when you need her?'

Back at Mood's base the villian had the execution of Phoebe, Paige and Penelope Pruedence Stoppe prepared. A trio of metal slabs had been readied and one at a time the prisoners were secured to them. Now each each of these slabs had metal bands to hold their captives down with their arms by their sides and their legs spread in a V fashion. With Penelope and Phoebe this wasn't a problem and they were both secured with three sets of restraints holding each arm and each leg. However once Paige was secured she realized, 'These bonds aren't as tight fitting as the others they have used and with them being attached to the table I should be able to orb away and leave the bonds behind!' And in a burst of light she did so and reappeared across the room! She hit the floor and took off running!

His jaw dropped at this but Mood quickly ordered "After her you fools!" And with this a number of his minions began chasing Paige! Hiding behind some machinery as some more Jorean slavers and Mood fanboys ran by Paige removed her gag and thought, 'I have to figure out a way to rescue the others. Where is Piper when you need her?'

She was outside the base as Oobat observed on the monitors and thought, 'She has my glorious ancestor Ootat with her!!! If he is killed and hasn't yet had children then I would never have existed! Cursed time paradoxes!' With that thought he deactivated the perimeter alarm and concluded, 'Oh well Mood would probably kill me off for resisting the world mind control anyway. In any event blood really is thicker than water!'

Due to Oobat's actions the heroines and their unlikely allies initially got into the base undetected but quickly ran into a group of Mood's killer robots and combat ensued! BOOOM!!! BOOOOM!!! Piper blew up a couple of robots and with a couple of lighting blasts from his eyes, Blitzkrieg matched her, BOOOM, BOOOM!!! With Trigger and Ootat guarding their rear the four fought their way into the base!

This had unfortunate consequences for Phoebe and Penelope. At the end of their slabs surgical lasers had been positioned and Phoebe remembered the movie, 'And James Bond had said, "Do you expect me to talk?" And Goldfinger had replied "No Mr Bond, I expect you to die!" What a thing to get inspiration from!' Looking at Mood realize the base was under attack yet again she continued, 'Piper hurry up before he decides to start those lasers!'

But Phoebe's hopes were dashed as Mood said, "Activate the lasers! If those fools reach this chamber they will find these two,(Mood pauses dramatically) beside themselves!!! HAAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAA!"

As Mood laughs manaically yet again the lasers activate and narrow red beams strike the edges of Phoebe and Penelope's slabs and slowly start their way upwards! "MMMMMMMPH!!!" Phoebe and Penelope screamed in unison but the lasers were less than a minute away from beginning their painful deaths. With their legs spread the two heroines were to be cut in half starting at the groin...









Part 35:"strange bedfellows of course!"

"MMMMMPH!!!" Phoebe and Penelope screamed as the lasers climbed past ankle level and crept steadily upwards! Phoebe strained with all her might and ... her bonds didn't budge a bit! 'Piper help!' She thought as the lasers approached knee level!

Meanwhile Piper, Trigger, Baron Blitkrieg, and Ootat had fought their way through the killer robots and were now killing off the rest of Mood's alien monsters! As he battled forward Blitzkrieg stepped beside Piper and said, "I think one of those old sayings applies here my dear Piper!"

BOOOM!! Piper took out a door and as she hurried through the doorway said, "Which one would that be Baron?" As she stepped through she was attacked by Jorean slavers from the front and right side! She easily froze them but didn't notice a third slaver plunging a sword towards her back!

But the Baron did and blinked in beside Piper! Grabbing her arm he yanked her out of the way! ZAPPP!!! The Baron killed the Jorean with his lighting vision and catching the off balance Piper he gathered her up in his arms and said, "Vhy the one about strange bedfellows of course!"

"MMMMMPH!!!" Phoebe and Penelope screamed again as the lasers had reached the midpoint of their thighs! Phoebe sweated and got a brief vision of her older sister in the arms of the Baron and then she thought, 'Piper had better stop fooling around!' But the lasers climbed ever higher...









Part 36:could only watch...

Piper squirmed in Blitzkrieg's arms and softly said, "Oh Baron,"

Drawing her closer he smiled and said "Yes my dear sweet little Piper?"

"PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT YOU MANIAC!!!" Piper screamed just inches from his ear! Startled Blitzkrieg complied and Piper stomped off!

The Baron held his ear as he followed her and thought, 'Such a small voman, such a big mouth!'

Speaking of big mouths, as the laser hit the hem of her warfleet uniform Penelope P Stoppe realized, 'They just put an ordinary gag on me this time. I can try to use my sonic cry but might not be able to save us both! No choice I will save Phoebe and worry about myself later!' With that she turned her head towards Phoebe's laser and screamed, "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!!!"

Phoebe's laser started to vibrate violently and then exploded! Yelling at Oobat Mood demanded, 'Why didn't you put the sonic gag back on her?"

Throwing up his hands in dismay Oobat answered, "But you said ..."

"Never mind what I said! Do what I meant!" Mood angrily retorted and gassed Penelope unconscious! As the laser neared her groin Piper dashed into the room and tried to save her! BOOM!!! She aimed at the laser but was blocked by Mood's force field! He stood in front of Penelope as death approached!

As Piper tried in vain to batter down the force field, Trigger dashed in. She attempted a trick shot but was tackled by a trio of Mood's minions!

Now for Penelope Pruedence Stoppe of the Halliwell line painful death was only an inch away! And Piper and Phoebe could only watch...

Part 37:"Afterall ve are the bad guys!"

...As Paige saved the day! Orbing in on top of the laser she redirected it into Mood's back! The laser couldn't actually penetrate Mood's force field though. It was only a minor distraction and short delay but it proved crucial! Mood destroyed the offending laser but then the Baron arrived! Angrily he said, "So you svine, you planned not just to kill the goody two shoe heroines but all your fellow villians as well!"

Piper watched as unseen to Mood Paige and Trigger freed Phoebe from her bonds. Meanwhile Mood mockingly "So what would you expect? To share the spoils? Maybe become ruler of say Australia?"

Sticking his smoking gun into the air Ootat objected, "Hey I got dibs on Australia!"

Meanwhile Piper had edged over to her sisters and whispered "Ok we gotta take out Mood while Blitzkrieg keeps him occupied!"

Phoebe objected, "Why take out the mad scientist instead of the warlock?"


Appalled at Ootat's promised reward, Mood responded, "Honor among thieves? Ugh! Obviously this planet isn't big enough for the both of us!"

"Oooh! Piper you're right again!" Phoebe said, and continued "With lines like that Mood has gotta go!"

As the villians did battle a spell started and just as Blitzkrieg put Mood on his back the end was heard!

"So Mood we send you not to hell,
But disarmed to your far future prison cell!"

With that every system in Mood's armor went dead and he vanished!

With that done Piper turned to Blitzkrieg and Ootat and asked, "What the heck took you so long?"

Waving his gun Ootat said, "We had to stop and kill the wounded."

Seeing the shocked looks and dropping jaws on the heroines faces Blitzkreig said, "Vhat did you expect? Afterall ve are the bad guys!"

(epilog to come)








Epilog:"twice the man Glenn is!"

The Halliwells and their new friends piled into Piper's jeep and drove off. "It's a good thing we saved Telzey before Mood could finish brainwashing her." Trigger said and continued, "Right Telzey?"

Her eyes dulled and Telzey responded, "Mood is great, Mood is good, we thank Mood for our food!"

"Ok, so you didn't get there in time!" Paige said but consoled herself with, "At least we don't have to worry about mad scientists or killer midgets for a while!"

Nervously Piper cleared her throat and said, "Umm, Paige I sorta promised Ootat that you would go out with him tonight!"

Paige's outraged scream was heard even back at Mood's base! There the Baron, Ootat and some of their associates were looting the place! When Blitzkrieg wondered what the scream was Ootat replied, "My hot date for tonight!"

Hours later the power of three had sent Telzey and Trigger back to their own time and Paige had gone on her date with the world's most wanted midget. Meanwhile Piper and Phoebe were sitting around talking with Penelope Pruedence Stoppe who looked and sounded so much like their late sister. As the hours went by they began to wonder if this was a future reincarnation of Prue. And so they grew closer. They got out some drinks and had a toast. Then continuing their conversation as they finished their drinks Phoebe asked, "Why don't you have the Halliwell name?" Then Phoebe took another drink as Piper did the same.

Penelope answered with a devilish smile and mischevious timing, "It all started with my ancestor named Matthews, Paige Matthews."

SPEW!!! At this both Piper and Phoebe choked and spewed liquid from their mouths and noses! Penelope laughed at them in a disturbingly familiar fashion.

As soon as she stopped choking Piper started to give Penelope a piece of her mind but was interrupted when Paige returned smiling broadly! Glaring at Penelope Piper then turned to Paige and asked nervously, "How did it go hon?"

Paige's response, "Great! He is twice the man Glenn is!" And with that Paige started off for her room leaving her sisters momentarily shocked into silence!

After a moment Phoebe started babbling incoherently and ran after Paige while Piper just sat there and thought, 'Hmm, after Phoebe's dating and marrying a half demon then ex-demon and maybe a demon again, a killer midget doesn't sound half bad!'

The end!
