What do they do next?
Go in guns. . . . Staff and Sword, Blazing
Once the three count was done, Jonh pointed his staff to the door and called out "Ventas servitas!". When he did, a column of air blasted the doors open, giving a nice dramatic entrance, and moving the curtains enough where Bianca was required to move to not get hit by the sun. "Dresden." She said under her breath as she got off the bed. "Nope, but close enough." John said as he and Korrin walked into the room. "You must be John, the man Phoebe told me about. That would explain how you have Dresden's abilities, and how your friend wields Amoracchius." She said, gesturing towards the sword. John stopped for a second, considering how Dresden only actually knew Bianca for a year, and probably didn't yeild much knowledge of Michael, there'd be only one way she knew specifically of Amorachhius. "I think this is going to be a tough battle." John said as he brought forth three more of Dresden's tools, a leather bracelet with about half a dozen small metal shields on it on his left wrist, a ring on right hand, and a white cloth in his duster pocket. "How so?" Korrin asked, turning to face John, when Bianca said something in what sounded like Latin, and a black force shot forward, tossing them both out the door and into the banister. The banister creacked alittle, but held. "That's how, we got book three Bianaca, a.k.a. the vampire sorceress." John said as Bianaca quickly moved towards them, in almost a blur, grabbing both by their collars. "That is correct, so why don't you give up, and I can make this a more," Bianca said pausing for a second, before going into a smirk, "enjoyable experience. I have been alive for many years, and have learned many ways on how to pleasure a man, multiple even." she told them as her smirk grew. "Sorry, but I have this thing about vampires." He said as he reached into his pocket and managed to get the cloth out.
He took out what appeared to be a hankerchief and opened it up. When he did, the area filled with a bright light for a few seconds, causing Bianca to move backwards as her skin seemed to burn off, pushing the two men forward over the balcony. Korrin through something close to a holy miracle, managed to grab the railing for the second floor and managed to pull himself up, along with his sword. John had all of 2 seconds to envoke his will into the bracelet he was wearing and hope he could create barrier that would prevent damage. He managed to slow down just enough where he didn't break anything, although getting up wasn't going to happen within the next few minutes.
Bianca didn't plan to give John the time though, she jumped down, full demonic bat-person form, and not a pretty one, one that killed any lewd thoughts that had previously went through John's head about her, and anyone else who saw her, which currently included Korrin, and the remaining three sisters. "Uh, I can't believe I wanted to sleep with her." Paige said as she backed away from the railing. Bianca landed on John and went to tear flesh from him, when he willed energy into the pentacle necklace he wore, forcing Bianca off him. She went to attack again, but decided against it when Korrin managed to show up, slightly glowing from the holy energy around him and his sword. Bianaca managed to compose herself enough to reform her human appearance, and then dashed off to hide. As long as the Sun was up, she was trapped in the house, if she waited until it went down, she could escape, grow her forces, and come back with force.
"I hate big houses." John said as he and Korrin went to find Bianca. Prue, Piper and Paige quickly went down the stairs managed to catch up to the two men. "How can we help?" Piper asked them. "First you could put on clothes and repent your wicked and sinful ways." Korrin said, as he kept looking forward, not breaking stride. "Or," John said, "you could think of a way to inform everyone in the house to be careful of her, and to try to inform us if they find her. Also you could turn off all the technology you have here right now." He finished saying. "Ok, but why do we have to shut down our tech?" Paige asked as she went for a near-by intercom console, which fizzled out when John walked past it. "That's why, Dresden and anything after WW II doesn't agree with him, and will break down." He said as he kept going. "I'll go to the main breaker and turn off the power, after I tell everyone to look out for Bianca." Paige said orbing out.
The search took the better part of the remaining time of John's powers residing in Phoebe. When John realized he was going to be getting his powers back soon, he realized where to go. "Where's Pheobe?" John asked Paige, who had rejoined the group about 30 minutes ago, staring intently at her nose. "In your room, why?" Paige said to him. "Orb us there, now, that's where Bianca's going." John said, pulling out the rod he had holstered up, and his pentacle started to glow again. "Why is your pentacle glowing?" Prue asked, as Paige orbed them to the room, where Bianca had yet to either find or reach. "It isn't an object that repels vampires, it's the faith behind it, Dresden didn't have much faith in Christianity, he did have large ammount of faith in Magic, which this represents. It's also why Korrin goes "Fist of God", Amoracchius enhances a person faith." John told them as the door knob turned. "If you want to help, aim for her stomach, you get her to bleed from there, it should kill her, I'm aiming to torch her." John said as the door opened and Bianaca walked in.
John didn't give Bianca enough time to get all the way in when he cast the spell he did before, blowing Bianca out of the room, and then down the hall half way, back to the stairs. John stepped out and noticed how Bianca wasn't going towards them, but towards the stairs. He looked at the window and noticed the sun had fully set. "Damn, she's trying to get out, Paige, take Korrin and Piper and block the door, Prue with me." John said as he ran out to stop her, leaving before Prue could even argue. John managed to reach the railing just as Bianca went back to her demonic form to tear Paige, Piper and Korrin to shreads, Korrin holding his glowing sword, and Piper's explosions not seeming to do much. John points his blasting rod at the demon and called out "Fuego!". As soon as he yelled that, fire errupted from it and went straight towards Bianaca, causing her to burst into flames. John went down to the three by the door and checked to see if they were alright.
Prue reached the group, and instead of checking to see if her sisters were ok, she shoves John. "You need to realize something, here, I am in charge, not your friend, not you, not anyone else. If you ever try to call the shots again, I swear to you it will be your last time." Prue said to him, noticing he didn't have the decency to look her square in the eyes, "And when I talk to you, you look at me, up here." She said grabbing his face to have him look her in the eyes, but was stopped by John before she did. "First off," He said as he glowed alittle, as his powers returned, "You let my friends go, Phoebe had my powers for the hour she was promised, so my end of the bargain is done." "No, Phoebe only used those powers for 15 minutes. You give them to me for an hour, then they get to go." Prue said, planning to re-establish dominace. "No, the deal was that she got them for an hour, and she did, it's not my fault she summoned something that bit her in the ass, almost literally. Now listen up and listen well, because I don't plan to repeat myself twice. First off, I'll keep my end of the deal and stay, but my friends get to leave. You'll also leave Kira, Billie, and Cole alone, you have their powers, there's no reason to bother them anymore." John said, sounding determined, and unwilling to back down, regardless of what Prue said or did, "Also I get to come and go as I please, I can do what I want, where I want, when I want, how I want, with whoever I want, understand?" John said, still not looking her in the eyes.
Prue thought of telling him to fuck off, and that he'd do what she said, but she realized that he just helped them, when he could have just as easily let Bianca kill them, and then detroyed her, he also could have let Bianca get Phoebe and weakened their collective power as well. "Ok, deal." Prue said, figuring that he deserved it. "Also the reason I'm not looking you in the eyes is because of something known as a soulgaze. In the Dresdenverse, wizards have that ability, it allows them to look into someone's eyes and see the true person, but it also shows their true self to the person they're solegazing with, and there's no forgetting it." John said as direct as before, "But since you want me to look you in the eyes," John said looking her in the eyes, beginning the soulgazing.
What John saw managed to explain what Prue was. At first, the place looked like Rome after it was destroyed, prestine work and craftmanship of white marble all destroyed and burnt down. Built in it's place was similar work, but dark, twisted and warped even, but in order. Everything there was orderly, precise and controlled In the center was looked like one of those old temples found in Greece that was built to worship Gods and Goddesses, except made of black and dark colored stone. Walking in, the place seemed similar to what was outside, controlled, orderly, precise. Further in, towards a secured middle of the building, a throne was placed. On said throne, were controls for panels which showed the entire place, inside and out, along with the the entire land to the borders. Also on a small table near said throne, the only item out of place was located, a picture of Prue with her sisters.
What Prue saw was something similar. The scene from John was a desert with an oasis towards the center. Structed, but more free form, fluid, capable of change. Of course, the oasis and any of the plant life that had been alive wasn't so much currently. The place had looked like it was taken by a plauge of locusts, stampede, about a year of no water, and a fire, but all recently and quickly. In fact, the palm tree still had a flame on one of it's leaves as burned. Although there still seemed to be a possibility of the land being restored to what it once was, or becoming something completely different, but that was assuming that the place was given a chance to do so.
"Now if you don't mind, since Phoebe's in my room, I'm going to her room, or atleast what I assume to be her room." John said as he went upstairs. Prue looked around and noticed that no one else was there. They must have left her there to make sure that Korrin and Samantha got out, after what John did, even she was afraid of him. "Afraid of him," Prue though, "I'm actually afraid of him, not many have been able to do that. I have to give it to him, he may actually be our equal."
