For months now the Digidestinds had been battling an evil digimon named Daemon who had been trying to destroy everything around him.

Half of Odaiba had been ruined, many lives were taken and right there in the middle of the street was a war zone.

The Guardians had created a barrier to keep the battle inside of Obaida so the rest of the world didn't learn about this.

In the middle of the streets were the Digidestinds all knocked out after they had finally destroyed him, their digimon all reverted to their Fresh forms.

TK groaned as he pushed himself up, looking around as he saw all of the damage that had been done by their fight as he was the first to wake up.

Poyomon was beside him and picked the poor white jellyfish up.

"Oh, poor Poyomon. Are you OK?" he asked.

The Fresh level opened up his eyes and gave a forced grin.

"I'll be fine. But what about you? You look just as bad as I do." Poyomon said.

TK chuckled at that since he knew it was true.

His entire body was battered and covered in bruises and scratches as blood was sticking to his clothing.

Looking around, he spotted Dai and Chibomon closest to where Daemon had been destroyed and saw that they looked worse off than everyone else.

"Dai!" he called

Standing up, he ran over to the duo of Miracles while some of the others started to wake up.

"Oh, that was a real doozy." Tai groaned as he coughed out the dust and blood that was in his mouth.

Botamon cooed pitifully as he looked up at him.

"Daisuke!" Ken cried as he and Leafmon ran over to their best friends.

The mahogany haired girl was being held gently in TK's arms while Poyomon cooed sadly as he rubbed his head against Chibomon, trying to wake him up.

Ken had tears streaming down his face as well as TK while Kari and YukimiBotamon came over to comfort the duo of Kindness and the rest of the Digidestinds all walked over to see that Dai wasn't waking up yet.

Chibomon groaned as his violet eyes blinked open.

"Ooh, everything hurts." He whined.

He then noticed that everyone was looking at Dai as she looked deathly pale, Joe checking her over.

"She's lost a lot of blood. Her right arm is also broken. We need to get her to the hospital and fast." He said.

"Yeah, if it wasn't blown up yet." Yolei said.

It was like a scene from a war movie around them.

The 12 teenagers and adults were lucky to have survived, but many other innocents had died and their corpses were all over the streets covered in blood or some limbs had been torn off, some even having their heads gone.

"We have got to move fast." Kari said.

Nodding, TK stood up and ran for the hospital as everyone else all followed after the blonde as he was determined to save his girlfriend from dying.

The fact that her skin was getting colder scared him beyond belief.

When they got to the hospital, Joe rushed to get his father and ordered some nurses to get a room ready.

There were plenty of other people who were in the building being attended to by the doctors and as soon as a black haired man came in and had three nurses bring in a gurney and TK placed Dai on it, the Digidestinds were pushed into a different room where Joe tended to their injuries.

(In San Francisco…)

In the Halliwell manor, Paige Matthews was rubbing at her temples as she felt an annoying jingling noise ringing in her head.

She was sitting in the kitchen when Leo walked in with baby Wyatt in his arms and gave her a curious look.

"Hey, Paige, what's wrong?" he asked getting a bottle out of the fridge.

"Ugh, my head has been ringing for days now. I don't know why though." She groaned.

Leo turned to her in shock when he heard this.

"Ringing? Like a jingling sound or a chorus going through your mind?" he asked.

"Yeah." The redhead said giving him a confused look.

"How did you know?" she asked.

"Uh, I think I might know what's wrong, but I'd have to check with the Elders first." Leo said as he gave a nervous smile and fled the room.

Paige frowned at this as Phoebe walked into the room, watching her brother-in-law.

"What was that about?" she asked.

"I don't know. Nothing bad, I hope." Paige said, then groaned as the ringing came again, even more loud and demanding.

"Oh, sweetie, is your head still acting up?" Phoebe asked her younger sister in concern.

"Yeah and it won't stop. As soon as I'm over it, it comes back even harder. I don't know why though." Paige whined as she massaged her temples.

Piper then came into the kitchen with a worried look on her face, the baby in her arms as she fed him the milk in the bottle.

"OK, why did my husband just hand me our child and then orb off to go see the Elders?" she asked.

"The Elders? Is something going on that we should know about?" Phoebe asked.

Wyatt groaned a bit making Piper walk over to the high chair and set him down in it, then sat down in a chair by him as she looked over at her sisters.

She caught the thoughtful look on Paige's face and grew curious.

"Paige…" she called slowly making her youngest sister look at her.

"Why is Leo up there?" she asked.

"I don't know. I just told him about this ringing sound in my head and he left." Paige explained to her eldest sister.

The three sisters had a feeling that something big was going to happen to their lives soon enough, but then again, many life changing events happened to them, so how would this be any different?

(Back in Odaiba…)

TK was holding Poyomon and Chibomon as he waited for Dr. Kido to come back out to tell them what had happened to Dai.

"Sit down, TK." Matt chastised from where he was sitting.

"Sit down? My girlfriend might be dead in there!" TK nearly yelled.

Kari was leaning into Ken's side, the plum haired boy rubbed her back to comfort her as they waited on Dai since everyone else had gone home to check on their families and Joe was helping his dad out with patients.

"She'll be fine. This is Dai we're talking about." Matt pointed out trying to reassure his brother.

The younger blonde bit his lip as he went back to pacing as he grew more worried about Dai who looked on the verge of death when he had last held her in his arms.

He had liked her since he first saw her when they were ten and he started at Odaiba elementary when he and his mom moved for her work.

The first thing he remembered seeing was her pretty mahogany hair that glowed red in the sunlight and turned purple at night.

Her hair was something he loved about her and then there were her chocolate eyes and her nice tan that was natural.

After he got to know her, he found she was very stubborn and didn't like being told what to do, was confident and a bit prideful, but she had a kind heart and offered friendship to those who didn't deserve it, but it then saved them from the hell they were descending into.

Ken wouldn't be their friend and Kari never would have found the love of her life in him if Dai hadn't given her friendship to Ken and then she also managed to get Yolei and Cody together.

She made everyone happy and they would all suffer if she died.

Ken looked up when he saw the black haired, black eyed doctor walking over with a stern look.

"Guys." Ken said.

Kari sat up as TK and Matt looked over at Jiro Kido as he walked over holding a chart.

(At the manor…)

"Leo, get your ass down here now!" Piper called.

After Wyatt was put down to sleep, the sisters gathered in the attic to call for their White Lighter to see why he had run off so suddenly.

After a few hours, he finally orbed on down with many mixed emotions on his face.

"Where have you been?" Piper demanded.

"And why did you need to see the Elders?" Phoebe asked.

"Well, when Paige told me about the ringing in her head, it sounded like it was her White Lighter side surfacing." Leo explained.

"White Lighter side surfacing? Wait, does that mean I'm getting a Charge?" Paige asked eagerly.

The last one was her own father and that caused a lot of trouble, so hopefully this new one would be easier to deal with.

"Uh, no, but it does mean that you're sensing someone from the family who's powers are coming into the light." Leo explained.

"Someone from the-what does that even mean?" Piper asked.

He kept quiet as the sisters shared a look, then Piper turned on her heel in annoyance as she walked over to the Book of Shadows and started flipping through the pages until she found the spell she wanted.

"What are you doing?" Phoebe asked.

"I'm calling Grams to find out what this means. We have family out there that we don't even know about?" Piper asked in disbelief.

Paige bit her lip as she thought over this, the ringing coming back to her head as she looked over to Leo.

Piper then read the spell and soon Penny arrived looking surprised as she glanced over her granddaughters.

"Um, girls, not that I'm complaining, but why did you summon me?" she asked.

"Do we have family besides us that isn't dead?" Piper asked wanting to get to the point.

Penny looked nervous about something.

"Grams…" Phoebe said.

"Oh fine. Well, my third husband was a Japanese man. I wound up giving birth to another daughter named Poppy." Penny explained.

The sisters all gaped at this.

"W-we have an aunt?" Phoebe asked.

"Who lives in Japan?" Paige asked.

"Yes. Her father was a kind man and wanted to keep her, so after the divorce; I left Poppy with her father. I peak in on Poppy once in a while and found that she had two daughters of her own. Oh, such beautiful girls too." Penny explained.

"Two daughters? How old are they?" Piper asked.

"Um, let me see…" Penny muttered as she thought.

"Jun is about 21 if I remember and as for Daisuke, she's 17 or 18 by now." She said as Leo gave her a look.

"Daisuke? For a girl?" he asked.

"Why, what's wrong with it?" Paige asked.

"Daisuke is a boy's name; it means 'big help'. I'm just surprised that they would name their daughter that unless they were expecting a son." He said.

The sisters nodded while Penny rolled her eyes.

"OK, but what does our aunt and cousins have to do with this ringing in my head?" Paige asked.

Penny looked distressed over something.

"Maybe you should sense the one calling for you. Orb to them and you'll see why." She explained.

Sharing looks, the sisters nodded.

(In Odaiba…)

The four waited for Jiro to speak, TK squeezing Poyomon and Chibomon tightly in his arms.

"Calm down, Daisuke will be fine. She's lost a lot of blood and has a broken arm along with a few bruised ribs, but she'll live." The doctor explained.

Everyone visibly relaxed at the news, relief flooding them as TK grew serious again.

"Can we see her?" he asked.

"Not now. She needs to rest. I suggest you all go home and do the same. Right now…Daisuke is going through a tough transition." Jiro explained confusing the group.

(With Dai…)

The child of Miracles was resting in her bed with tears falling from her face with a look of utter depression.

Her building had been hit by one of Daemon's attacks and her family had been killed.

The police had come in and told her about it when she woke up and she had a cold face as they did it, but as soon as she was alone, she broke down.

Sure, she wasn't as close as she wished she was with them, but they were still her family and she'd never get to see them again.

For years she had fought to save innocents and now her family were all dead, she should have been able to save them.

As she buried her face in her pillow, ignoring the pain in her ribs and her right arm, she didn't notice the swaddle of blue lights fade into her room that turned into a young woman with red hair dressed in a black singlet top, jeans and black boots.

Her dark eyes were on the bed where she saw the teenage girl crying in emotional pain and felt her heart clench in her chest at this.

Slowly, she walked over to the bed and gently placed a hand on her shoulder making Dai look up at the woman, both surprised to see the same chocolate brown eyes they had.

"Who are you?" Dai asked quickly whipping away her tears and then looked at her sternly.

"I'm Paige Matthews. I came here to see you." she said sitting down on the chair next to the bed.

Dai looked her over and saw that she had that creamy pale skin that Jun had and by the sight of her black eyebrows, she was able to tell Paige wasn't a natural redhead, but it was nice on her.

"Why did you come to see me?" Dai asked.

Paige felt like smiling when she saw that same fire in her eyes that all Halliwell women had.

"Well, your mom is my aunt. You see, she and my mom are half-sisters. My sisters and I just found out about her, so I came to see you." Paige said.

Penny had told the sisters that Poppy and Jun were being welcomed into the afterlife by Prue and Patty, so Dai needed someone to comfort her and take her in because her powers may come in.

Jun and Dai both were born with powers, but Poppy had bound them until she thought they were old enough to use them or when she died.

Her youngest would start to show signs of her powers awakening soon, so she needed her witch family to take her in.

"So…you know about…" Dai trailed off.

"Hey, it's OK to cry. My mom died when I was only a baby. I used to have three sisters, but one of them died about a year ago. I know what's it like to lose someone you love. Actually, funny thing is my parents gave me up for adoption because my mom had an affair with another man and I was adopted by another family. They were great and I loved them, but then we were in a car accident and I was the only one to survive." Paige said.

Dai looked at her, then laughed.

"You ramble when you're nervous. Does that run in the family?" she asked making Paige laugh.

"Why, does it happen to you too?" she asked.

"Yeah, pretty much." Dai nodded.

She then bit her lip as she looked down at her cast, tapping her fingers on it as she thought.

Paige just let her get lost in her thoughts before she looked at the beautiful mahogany hair, feeling very tempted to run her fingers through it because it looked so silky and soft as the messy locks fell onto her shoulders.

"Is your hair natural?" she asked.

Dai looked up and gave a grin.

"I could ask you the same." She said making the redhead grin.

"Nope, dyed. Actually, I was…mixing chemicals and it exploded and changed my hair. Better than a salon, huh?" Paige asked making Dai giggle.

"Well, mine is natural. A lot of people in Japan have weird colored hair that's natural. My sister has…had magenta hair." She said.

"Really? Huh, what do ya know?" Paige said.

The two cousins grew silent as they thought over some things, like what they had found out in the last few hours.

"So what's gonna happen now? Am I going to an orphanage?" Dai asked.

"No, honey. You're family, so you're going to come live with me and my sisters. Little warning, the oldest is married with a baby." Paige said.

Dai gasped as she looked at her, unsure of what to say to this, but since these girls were her last living family members, the courts would ship her off with them, but she trusted Paige.

It was like something deep inside of her was telling her she could trust her.

"Don't know how my boyfriend will feel about this." She said.

(The next day…)

"What do you mean you're moving to San Francisco?!" TK yelled.

When the group of Digidestinds all filed into the room, they saw the redheaded woman who was talking to the doctor and police, then walked out to allow Dai to break the news to them.

"She doesn't have a choice in it, TK." Tai said.

"But I'm sure things will be fine." Sora smiled.

TK groaned as he sat down on the bed and held his girlfriend's hand as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"A long lost family? Gee, why does all the cool stuff happen to you?" Yolei pouted making Cody shake his head.

"When will you be moving?" he asked.

"In four days. All of my stuff was destroyed, so Paige is taking me to San Francisco to do some shopping and to settle in." Dai explained.

The only things she had left from her old life were her D-3, D-terminal and the clothing she had on as she was in the battle along with the gold stud earrings, necklace with a triquetra on it and thankfully Chibomon.

Everything else was ruined and she wouldn't get to keep, like her photo albums, baby clothes and all of the other things from her childhood.

"I hope your new life will be rewarding." Izzy said.

"You deserve it after everything." Mimi said.

The time for Dai to move had come, so she had changed into one of the outfits that Kari allowed her to keep and Paige took her to America on the plane, Dai holding Chibomon to her chest as she looked out the window.

Daemon was the last threat to the Digital World and he was gone forever, so things there would be peaceful and safe.

But now she was nervous on how things were going to be in her new home.

Hours later they made it and Paige brought Dai home in a taxi, telling her all about the Halliwell family.

"See that billboard?" Paige asked pointing.

Dai looked over at the billboard that said 'Ask Phoebe…she has all the answers' on it with a beautiful brunette woman with chocolate brown eyes and a nice tan on it.

"That's my middle sister Phoebe. She works at the Bay Mirror as an advice columnist." Paige explained.

"What about the other one?" Dai asked.

"Piper? Oh, she owns a night club called P3. She wants to open her own restaurant someday though." Paige explained.

"No way. I always wanted to open up a noodle shop." Dai said.

"Oh, so you like cooking then? Good, we need more chefs. Phoebe and I are terrible. Leo, Piper's husband, is more of a handyman." Paige explained.

"What about the baby?" Dai asked.

"Wyatt, he's so cute. You'll love him." Paige assured.

Soon enough, the cab stopped in front of a Victorian manor that was wine colored with pretty colored windows at the top.

There were two cars parked outside while a large van was in the driveway.

"Whoa, this is it?" Dai asked in awe.

"Yep. Come on; time to meet your family." Paige said after she paid the driver.

The two walked up the stone steps and then walked into the house, Chibomon trying very hard to keep silent when he smelt chocolate cookies that were fresh out of the oven.

Paige looped her arm with Dai's and led her off into the kitchen where Leo was holding Wyatt and Phoebe was helping Piper take out the cookies from the oven.

"Guess who's here." Paige sang.

The group all turned and Phoebe squealed happily as she nearly threw the tray on the counter, Piper wincing at the sound, and the middle sister ran over to the teenager and hugged her tightly.

"Oh, honey! I'm so happy to finally meet you. You're so beautiful. Isn't she beautiful? Oooh!" Phoebe gushed.

Piper groaned as she saw the stunned look on Dai's face while Paige crept over to the counter and picked up a cookie, blowing on it first.

"Phoebe, stop smothering the girl and let her sit down." Piper scolded lightly.

Truth be told, the way the woman was acting reminded Dai of Jun with how open they were with their emotions.

"Fine." Phoebe sighed as she reluctantly pulled away.

"Hi, I'm Piper. This is my husband Leo, our son Wyatt and you just met Phoebe." The oldest sister said.

"Nice to meet you and thanks for taking me in." Dai said as she set her backpack down.

"Come on, you're family. Of course we would take you in." Leo smiled.

"Not really. You didn't have too. You could've let me live in an orphanage or one of my friends' families could have adopted me. The fact that you guys did decide to put up with me means a lot." Dai said with a dark blush.

She wasn't used to being open with her feelings like this to anyone except her friends, the family all smiling at her fondly for her words.

"Is that all you brought?" Piper asked spying the bag.

"This is all I own. Everything else was destroyed." Dai explained.

Phoebe made a worried clicking noise with her tongue as she hugged the girl again, making sure to be careful of her cast while Piper gave her a worried look, her motherly instincts kicking in.

Leo walked over as Wyatt looked over at Dai with innocent blue eyes.

"Would you like hold Wyatt?" he asked Dai once Phoebe pulled away.

"Um, sure." The teenager said.

Wyatt took Chibomon from her arms making her smile as Dai was handed the baby and held him in her arms, looking into his lovely sapphire eyes.

"Aw, he's so cute. You're gonna grow up to be a heartbreaker, huh? I'll teach you how to run away from psycho fan girls properly." She cooed.

The sisters and Leo all smiled at this, Chibomon also looking very happy that his partner was better than she had been.

Piper just prayed Wyatt didn't use his powers in front of their cousin before she got settled in and was used to them.

Who knew when her powers were going to kick in or even what they would be?

"Well, why don't you go settle in? These cookies will still be here for you." Piper said.

"Yeah, thanks." Dai said.

"I'll take her!" Phoebe said eagerly as she grabbed the girl's arm and pulled her over to the stairs.

The wall along the stairs had pictures of the sisters, another being black haired with jade eyes who must be the dead sister, a pretty woman in her fifties, a pretty brunette woman in her thirties and various others of the family.

"This is it!" Phoebe sang.

They walked into a small room that had a bed that fit one person in it, the walls were yellow and there was a small window that was hexagon shaped.

"Yeah, we didn't have much room, so we just hurried to make this work. It used to be filled with junk that needed to be thrown out or moved to the attic." Phoebe said.

"It looks great, but the yellow…has got to go." Dai said.

"That's fine. Tell you what? Tomorrow, we'll go shopping and we'll get you a whole new wardrobe, paint for your room and whatever else you need." The middle sister said.

Smiling, Dai turned to her as she set her bag down with Chibomon.

"Yeah, that sounds great." She said.

"…You hate shopping don't you?" Phoebe asked.

"Pretty much." Dai nodded.

"Yeah, I figured." Phoebe said.

(A few days later…)

Dai settled in great with the sisters and had painted her new room sky blue while her bed sheets were blood red with white vine patterns on it.

The sisters were thankful that demons had taken a break so they didn't have to tell Dai about them yet while the girl had sent Chibomon to the Digital World so he could regain his strength and she also helped out with the cooking and looking after Wyatt, who loved her attention.

TK called constantly to talk to Dai and she had to be pulled away from the phone by Piper, who was then scolded by Phoebe for messing with the young love.

One night, Dai heard giggling from downstairs and walked down into the kitchen to see two girls dressed in short green dresses while their brown and blonde hair were decorated with flowers.

Paige was standing between them dressed in a lighter green dress as her hair was now longer and she had a wreath of flowers around her head.

"What happened?" Dai asked in confusion.

The two new girls looked at her with happy grins as they pranced over to her and circled her.

"Do you sense that?" the blonde asked.

"She has such a playful and wild spirit. We have to take her with us!" the brunette bounced.

"Are you on something?" Dai asked as the girls played with her hair.

"How pretty." They said as they exclaimed in wonder.

Paige walked over with a playful smile and also played with it while the two other girls leaned in and kissed Dai on her cheeks.

She was confused to what was happening, then suddenly things became clear to her as her hair had blue flowers braided in it and she had an emerald green sleeveless dress on as she wore gold wedge shoes like Paige.

Knowledge then filled her.

She is now a wood nymph, she protects the earth and these three are her sisters, Miranda and Daisy being the two elder girls.

She laughed as the four girls all held hands and danced out of the room giggling and found Phoebe talking to a sandy haired male with blue eyes who were both staring at them in surprise, Phoebe looking very shocked.

The four giggled as they crowded around the man like a group of fan girls.

"You found them?" the man asked.

"So handsome." Paige breathed with a smile.

"Oh, god. Paige and Dai! Piper's gonna kill me." Phoebe whimpered with a nervous smile.

The four girls then ran off outside, Phoebe yelling after her cousin and sister, but was ignored.

Inside of Dai, her real self was yelling to stop acting the way she is now, but the side that was now a nymph that wanted to play was in control.

She wanted to have fun, enjoy life again.

Paige then led the group to P3, she and Dai smiling as they looked around while Miranda and Daisy were nervous by the new place they were in.

"Um, Paige and Daisuke, we should really be looking for our satyr." Miranda said nervously.

"But why?" Dai asked as she and her cousin strutted down with pure confidence as some men sent them interested looks.

"It's time to be free and have fun." Paige said.

"But…" Miranda tried again.

"Oh, it's their first night as nymphs, Miranda. Let's see what they can do." Daisy said making the brunette shrug.

They all then started dancing, well the real nymphs just jumped around like silly little girls, while Paige and Dai went up on stage with the band and danced around the players, the cousins moving in sync with each other in a very playful and sensuous dance.

The band were all amused while the crowd all cheered for them, but when Piper and Leo came, Dai snuck off from them and pulled Miranda and Daisy over to her and taught them how to really dance instead of holdings hands and jumping around.

Suddenly, the sound of a flute playing made them stop as Miranda took Dai's hands and pulled her along as Daisy grabbed Paige and the four walked off.

"What's going on?" Dai demanded.

"Where are going?" Paige asked.

"To our satyr. Don't you hear his call?" Miranda asked.

The cousins shared a look of wonderment as they walked off, slowly turning into the winds as they ran off to find the source of the call.

Soon enough they found that a man was playing a reed flute by the fountain in the middle of the park, a happy grin on his face as the four nymphs appeared and started dancing around him with smiles and giggles.

"Welcome, my nymphs!" he greeted.

Deep down, the look in his eyes put Dai and Paige on edge, but their nymph instincts to care for their satyr block it.

To be continued…
