When Dai, Chris and Demiveemon got back to the manor, they were stunned beyond belief to see that Phoebe was on the couch being showered with attention by many shirtless men, some feeding her grapes while others fanned her with large feather fans.
One man was massaging her feet while another handed her a gold cup to drink from.
She was on a fancy new red couch while there were white shalls strung around the room, rose petals scattered around and a table that had a gold jug for the wine and large bowels filled to the brim with fresh fruit.
"What the hell is this? Goddesses Gone Wild?" Chris asked as he stormed in to see Piper and Paige watching this scene.
"I thought you were joking about picking up 12 guys." Dai scolded as she stood beside him.
"I told you to keep them in line. What would happen if the Titans attacked right now?" Chris asked.
"Well, we'd be screwed and all these groupies would be killed." Dai quipped with a sarcastic smile as he sent her a look.
"That's not funny." Demiveemon said from on top her head as he looked at the food.
He then squealed in happiness as he attacked a plate of chocolate covered strawberries.
"Chris, I've got it. Thank you." Piper said as she then faced the men.
"All of you…OUT!" she yelled and threw her arm up as she pointed to the door.
Her voice was amplified as winds came around, sending the men all flying back as some things flew around the room.
The men, who were startled but unharmed, ran for the door while Phoebe pouted at having her servants sent away.
"Now that's what I'm talkin' about." Chris smiled as he pointed at Piper before he walked over to stand in front of the four girls.
"You were awesome!" Demiveemon cheered as the door was slammed shut.
"Time for a morality check. Leo did not give us this power so we can form armies or love cults." Piper said as she gave her sisters a stern look, Paige frowning at her while Phoebe turned her attention to Chris as she laid out with a sultry look.
For some strange reason, Dai felt a protective streak flare to life inside of her heart and she then walked in front of Chris, blocking him from the Goddess of Love.
"The ancient Greeks indulged in their whims that way and look what they became." Piper said.
"Petty." Chris said looking at Phoebe.
"Evil, vindictive." He said looking at a smug Paige.
"Thanks, I've got it." Piper said.
"Now-hi!" she said hitting Phoebe with a pillow to make her stop staring at the young White Lighter.
"Can you two get it under control? Seriously, Dai's younger and she's perfectly fine. She is fine, right?" the Goddess of Earth asked Chris.
"Complete control." He confirmed with a proud glint in his eyes as the teen had a smug grin.
"'Lesion and judgement are the qualities of a leader'. Casitas, 100 AD." The Goddess of War quoted.
"'Love will keep us together'. Captain N. Tenniel, 1970's." Phoebe smiled as she took a sip from her cup.
"'We're all gonna get majorly screwed over'. Dai Motomiya Halliwell, 2013." The Goddess of the Hearth smirked.
"Fascinating, now can we figure out a way to beat the Titans because I for one would like my family back soon." Piper said.
Then, there was the sound of a bell like from those movies when an angel is being called which made everyone look up at the ceiling.
"Is that a jingle?" Phoebe asked.
"There are no Elders but there. Who's jingling?" Paige asked.
It sounded again.
"It's Leo." Chris announced.
"Leo can jingle?" Piper asked.
"Yep. He says an Elder is under attack. Like it or not, it's time to face the Titans." He said.
Dai sighed and held up her D-3 and Demiveemon soon digivolved into ExVeemon.
"Stay here and look after Wyatt." She said.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." The dragon assured.
The sisters and their cousins all stood together as they were transformed into the wind, pink smoke, lightning and flames as they sensed for the Elder and teleported themselves in front of a young man dressed in a gold robe.
Across from them were two men in their thirties dressed in white togas, one having a red sash and looked to be the strongest of the two.
"Who are you?" the red sash one asked.
"The Supremes." Paige said.
She then shot out a bolt at the Titan, but he simply lifted his hand and stopped it.
"She wields the powers of the Gods." The Titan with dark curly hair said in shock.
"Just kill the Elder." The Titan, Cronus, ordered.
They then shot out flames and lightning at the four Goddesses, but they held up their hands and a shield of energy appeared, blocking the attacks but were frozen to the ground since the force of the attacks were too much.
"Somebody get the Elder out." Piper said.
"I can't. I can't move." Phoebe said.
"Yeah, me neither." Paige said.
"My body is stiff." Dai said as the Titans crept closer forcing them to stay where they were standing.
"Leo!" Piper called.
The Elder looked over the four women when the five were covered in blue and white lights, orbing away from danger while the titans watched in rage.
Soon enough, the sisters and cousin found themselves in an underground area with small patches of sunlight streaming in and there were pillars holding to the earth made ceiling as the ground looked to be made of stone and water was dripping down in some area as there were gold lights glowing above them.
Elders were quietly conversing with each other around them as the one they saved talked to one of his acquaintances.
"Everybody OK?" Piper asked.
"No, is my hair singed?" Phoebe asked as she turned.
"You're fine." Piper said looked over the golden locks.
"I guess we're not so all powerful after all. How'd we get out of there?" Paige asked.
"Maybe Leo did it." Dai suggested.
"But I don't know how. He doesn't have that kind of power." Piper said.
"Well, he must have because we're out of there. What is this place; a sewer?" Paige asked as the four women glanced around.
The Elder they saved turned to them and walked over as he pulled down his hood to reveal dark short hair, the makings of a bit of morning shadow on his face and dark green eyes.
He was handsome, but he had a bit of arrogance about him that would turn someone away from him or annoy them quite easily.
"This is…sanctuary." He said.
"Oh my, my, my." The Goddess of Love said as she stalked over to him while Piper tried to grab her and pull her back, but Phoebe was already circling the young Elder as if he were her pray with a sensual aura around her.
"Aren't you just the editable Elder? Have you taken a vow of celibacy?" she asked as she placed her hands on his arms.
"Celi what?" Dai asked as Paige rolled her eyes and Piper patted the teenager's head.
"Forget it, Dai. Phoebe, stay on target." She said.
"Right." Phoebe sighed with a smile still on her face as she hugged the man.
"What do you mean this is sanctuary?" Piper asked.
"It's a safe house set up by Leo to protect the Elders." The Elder explained.
"Hmm, well it doesn't look so safe to me. I can see unprotected points of entry all over the place." Paige said as she looked over at the windows that had bars on them.
"Don't worry, the Titans can't sense our location. We're hidden from them by a web of fairy magic…another of Leo's ideas." He said.
Leo did all this?" Piper asked.
"Gotta give the man his props." Dai smiled as she looked at the golden lights that were the fairy magic.
"I was surprised myself. I'm afraid I'm one of the Elders who always sold Leo short…" he said as Phoebe hugged him.
"…what with him marrying a witch and all." He finished making her pout at him while the other three witches gave him a look.
"No offense." He said.
"Offense taken." Piper said as Paige smirked.
"I will never make that mistake again. Without Leo, we'd all be dead." The Elder said.
"He's out there now tracking Elders as we speak, moving them here…we owe Leo everything." He said.
"I guess so." Piper said.
"Well, good luck with the Titans." He said as he turned to leave, but was stopped by Phoebe.
"One more question. What are you wearing under that robe?" she asked in a flirty fashion as her sisters and cousin rolled their eyes.
"More robes." The confused Elder said while Paige and Dai held in their laughter.
"That is so hot." Phoebe said as Elder walked off.
The sisters and cousin then looked at Piper as she seemed very stressed out and annoyed over what was going on.
"This is getting tired." She said.
"A warrior preparing for battle cannot be weary." Paige said.
"No, I'm tired of getting this information second hand. I would like to hear it from Leo." Piper said.
"Piper, I'm sensing a blockage in your spiritual energy. What's wrong, sweetie?" Phoebe asked.
"I need to talk to my husband. I-I appreciate him becoming a magical folk hero for the masses and all, I really do, but enough is enough." Piper said as her emotions were getting the best of her.
Dai held her hand over her breast where her heart was, a burning sensation inside of her as she felt what Piper was.
"Leo! Remember me, your wife?" Piper called.
The answer she got was a jingle, which did not sit well with her.
"Don't you jingle me. I need more than a jingle here, mister. You will get down here right NOW!" she yelled as the earth shook.
The Elders all exclaimed in shook as they were almost thrown off their feet and the others waited the ride off.
"Are ya tryin' to alert the enemy?" Paige hissed as she motioned upwards.
"Piper, I'm sure as soon as Leo figures out how angry you are, he's gonna come running down here." Phoebe said.
"If it were TK, he would be here the first time I yelled." Dai said.
The child of Hope knew when his girlfriend lost her temper, he should go running to her as soon as possible so the child of Miracles didn't castrate him.
As for Leo…he wasn't very smart like TK.
He stayed up in Elder Land as Piper looked up at the ceiling with an annoyed look, daring her husband to come face her at her certain bad mood.
"OK, you can come running now." Phoebe called.
They waited for a few more seconds and Leo still hadn't appeared.
"He wants to die." Dai said as she rubbed Piper's arm.
"Look, sweetie, it's not like he's not busy. He's saving the world." Phoebe pointed out.
"And buying us time to vanquish the Titans, although I don't know where we're gonna get the strength from. He had no problem with me power." Paige said.
"Then let's try my power." Phoebe said with a secret smile.
(Later on at the manor…)
Phoebe and Paige were working on a battle plan with holograms to see how they could defeat the Titans, but they all ended with the men following each other.
Demetrius was pathetic as he was frightened of Cronus and would flee back to this side so he wouldn't be killed for defying the King of the Titans.
Piper was with Wyatt looking after him while Dai was with her dragon in the kitchen just talking.
"So they're that powerful?" Veemon asked.
"Yeah, who knows how we can beat them." She sighed.
"Dai, don't give up. This you we're talking about. You never give up. When the others didn't believe in themselves to beat Daemon, you yelled at them and encouraged them to get back up and fight harder and we won." Veemon said.
Dai sent him a smile as she thought back to the previous battles she had been in and knew that he was right.
She then felt something warm in her heart and stood up as she let it pull her into the living room.
Paige and Phoebe were sitting across from each other while Chris was sitting next to Phoebe, the two sisters giving him pleading looks.
"What is wrong with you two? You're acting hopeless." Chris said.
"I don't know. I mean, I guess I always fell like this right before a big battle. And then Leo comes down and, I don't know how he does it, but he…makes me feel like I have the power to do anything." Phoebe explained.
"Really, it's different for me. It's like I forget I even have any training and I-and I can't concentrate, but Leo helps me focus and I calm down." Paige explained.
"You know, I'm starting to think we take Leo for granted. Are you sure you can't get him?" Paige asked as Chris stood up with a groan.
"Leo-Leo is up there, OK? And he's gonna stay up there until-"Chris stopped as his emotions were getting to him.
The girls were giving him a hard time.
"You know what? I'm not gonna go over this again. What can I do to get you two over the hump here?" Chris asked.
"Try saying this. It always works for Leo. 'Your power comes from your emotions.'" Phoebe said.
"Or-or what about this? 'Trust the Power of 3.'" Paige said.
"Or how about this one? 'I'm gonna go check with the Elders.' Do you actually think he checks with the Elders?" Phoebe asked as Chris gave them both a look of disbelief and so was Dai.
"Heh, no. he probably just orbs to a sport's bar and buys his buddies rounds of drinks. 'Yeah, my wife thinks I'm up there. Here's to the Elders.'" Paige joked making her and Phoebe laughed, but then they grew depressed.
"You're pathetic." Dai said.
Everyone turned to her as she stormed into the room looking beyond annoyed.
"Hey, Dai." Phoebe scolded.
"No, it's true. You depend on him 24/7 that you can't deal with things on your own. You are both beautiful, confident and powerful women. You can do anything as long as you put your minds to it and never give up. Leo isn't the source of your power or your sisterhood. You are in control of your own lives and destiny. Stop whining like babies and get over it. Leo is busy; he can't always be there for us. I never had him in my life and I was able to save the world from quite a few apocalypse that I lead the Digidestinds to end." Dai said.
Chris stood back with a smile as he allowed the child of Miracles to take over, knowing she would handle things perfectly.
Paige and Phoebe were entranced in what their cousin had to say.
"Don't sit there and tell me that Leo is the one who gives you power. He helps you bring out the power you already have and are too lazy to seek out for yourselves. I am here to tell you that I will smack you both silly if you don't get over your phunk and be ready to kick some serious ass, because we are Halliwells. We chose to save the world and protect innocents so that is what we're going to do. Just don't give up when we haven't even showed those Titans what we can really do." Dai said.
The sisters all smiled while Veemon hopped over with a proud look knowing that she had receded back into her Digi-Leader status and was ready to kick some ass.
"She's right." Paige said.
"I know. Wait, how did she do that?" Phoebe asked.
"Because she is awesome." Chris said making the teen wink at him.
He then orbed off somewhere and then a few more minutes later, Leo walked down the stairs with Piper dressed in Elder robes.
"Leo!" Phoebe called happily.
"Welcome home, Leo." Paige said as her middle sister hugged him.
"So, I heard someone gave a very inspiring speech. I hope you two listened to it." Leo said as he gave Dai a proud look.
"A speech? What did you say?" Piper asked the girl.
"What I would to the other Digidestinds when we're stuck in a battle that could kill us. Never give, believe in ourselves, keep going until we win. Trust in each other. You get the point." Dai shrugged.
"You should be a motivational speaker." Phoebe said.
"What do you girls have for me?" Leo asked.
"Paige ran every battle plan that she knows, which as a War Goddess, is basically every battle that's ever been fought." Phoebe said.
"No matter how you spin it…warrior, seductress, earth mother…we don't have the power to defeat the Titans." Paige said.
"I gave that damn speech for no stupid reason." Dai muttered angrily under her breath as Veemon clung to her leg.
"We can't beat them. They're too strong for us." Phoebe said.
"See how much this family needs you?" Piper asked.
"No." Dai snapped making the sisters give her scolding looks.
"Dai's right. I don't. You can do this without me and it's not because you have the power of gods or the Power of 3. It's because…you're the greatest force of good that I know and that's why I chose you." Leo said.
"Ooh, see? I can just feel the confidence wash all over me. He's doing it." Phoebe said excited.
"What is he doing?" Piper asked.
"Paige, you know exactly where to find the power to conquer the Titans." Leo said.
"I do?" she asked.
"Yes. You just need to focus." He said.
"…We have to declare ourselves Gods." She said after thinking.
"That's how the ancient Greeks did it." Leo smiled.
"Chris told us not to do that." Piper pointed out.
"Well, Chris is wrong. He doesn't know you like I do." Leo said.
"But Leo, the ancient Greeks lost their humanity." Phoebe pointed out.
"You're not the ancient Greeks. You're the Charmed Ones and the Keeper of the Golden Radiance." Leo said as he looked the four over.
"I didn't give you anything you can't handle. Phoebe, you lost yourself to the darkest love that ever existed and you came back. Of course you can handle being the Goddess of Love." He said making her smile.
"I never thought of it that way." She said.
"Paige, you're the Goddess of War because you've been consumed with gaining power, but never let the power consume you." he said making the redhead smile.
"Dai, you're the Goddess of the Hearth because you always speak from within. Everything you do and say is based on what you feel from inside. You never give up on yourself or anyone else. You never let them give up on themselves either. You girls should really listen to her more." Leo said making Dai smirk.
"Piper…is it any wonder I made you the Goddess of Earth? You are everything that is good and beautiful in this world. The mother of my son." He said with a loving look.
"You really have that much faith in us?" Piper asked.
"Do you really even need to ask me that? It's like I've always said. Your power comes from your emotions and right now you need to dig deeper than you ever have before. Whatever motivates you; your heart, your soul, your darkest fears…whatever it takes, you need to find that and channel it into power. Power not to capture the Titans, but to destroy them. Forever." Leo said.
He then started to glow from within as a new power was born inside of him, the light being seen by the four girls.
"Leo?" Piper asked.
"What's happening to me?" he asked with a small laugh.
Everyone shared confused looks of this new development before Leo walked off upstairs to go see his son as Piper followed him.
"What do you think happened?" Phoebe asked.
"I think Leo…just became an Elder." Paige said.
Dai sensed Chris orb in, then felt Piper's anger and felt Chris get attacked by Piper out of her anger.
"Hello, Goddesses." Someone said.
The three girls turned to see that Demetrius and Cronus had arrived and Paige was hit first.
"Piper!" Phoebe called.
Cronus attacked, sending her flying while Dai lifted her hand and sent out a blast of flames at him that knocked him back.
"Powerful one." He muttered as he stood up.
"Where's the Elder that created you?" Cronus demanded.
Thunder then crashed as the earth shook, Piper appearing in a swirl of winds and she did not look happy.
The titans attacked, but the flames and lightning that hit her left no damage at all.
She had declared herself as a Goddess and was ready for battle.
"It's not nice to piss off Mother Nature." Piper said.
They looked scared.
Piper then lifted her hands up and the ground under Cronus and Demetrius opened up, revealing the magma that was under it all.
Paige picked up her trident and sent out a blast from it at the ground they stood and the two men fell down into the pit, then it closed up.
Never to be opened to allow the Titans freedom again.
Leo then came downstairs while Dai turned and ran off upstairs, Veemon hot on her trail.
"Chris!" she called.
Upstairs she found him inside of Piper and Leo's room, unconscious.
"Chris." She sighed as she walked over and then kneeled at his side.
As she touched him, she gasped as she felt something that she did when she touched her cousins.
It was the bond of family.
Is it possible that Chris is actually related to the family?
"Do you think he'll be OK?" Veemon asked.
"Hopefully." She said as she pulled the 22 year old into her arms and brushed his brown hair out of his face.
He groaned as his jade eyes slowly blinked open, but were still clouded with sleep.
"Aunt Suke?" he asked.
The duo of Miracles gasped at that.
Aunt Suke?
Suke as in the last part of Dai's name?
Why would he call her that?
Chris then blinked away his sleep and looked right at Dai, panic in his eyes.
"What did I just say?" he asked.
"Why don't you tell me." She responded.
To be continued…
