As Fred powered the Gate up and Prue and Phoebe began their chant, he closed his eyes. At first he didn't feel anything, but then he started feeling it. The potion he had drank began working, he could feel its power surging through him and it began to interact with the spell and the Gate. But as he stood there feeling the power surging around him and within him, he had a mental countdown going. He had programmed the Gate to imprint himself upon the entire human race one minute after it was activated. Though even if he hadn't wanted to try to take over the world, he wouldn't have been able to keep the Gate from affecting the population of the Earth. After all, the thing was designed to heal whole planets, not just one simple being.
The glow grew intense around him, momentarily blinding everyone. And then it happened.
The Gate flashed and an energy pulse erupted from it and quickly spread out over the Earth, covering the entire globe in only a few seconds. After that energy pulse, everyone on Earth turned into him. Or at least in theory everyone should have turned into him. When he opened his eyes after the glow faded, the four women were still themselves. He had expected Romana to remain herself, but the other three were still themselves. He couldn't help but be confused by that, but before he tended to that, he lifted his hands to his face. His stubble was gone. Had it truly worked?
He stepped out of the Gate and looked at the four women. His appearance was almost completely different. While moments before he had looked so gaunt and like the walking dead, he now looked perfectly healthy, even to the point of having a healthy glow to his complexion. His face was clean-shaven, and his hair was a darker shade of blond. It was no longer the white blond it had been. He did feel different. His hunger was gone. Slowly, a smile crossed his face.
"I think it worked. I feel...alive!" All ready he could feel his strength returning to him. Saxon had been reborn.
