Prologue

A man in an expensive suit sat in his chair looking out of his office window. Anger, frustration, and panic were radiating off him as he looked at the scene only two floors below him.

The large courtyard was littered with Specialists fighting his armed men. It was obvious that the Specialists had the upper hand. They were after all, trained to work as a team unlike his men that were used only to one-on-one combat.

'How did they find this base?' All his men that left the secluded compound had a spell placed on them that prevented them from giving away any information about the organization if they were captured and interrogated.

His focused narrowed on a group of specific Specialists that were approaching the main entrance. He quickly sent a message, knowing he wouldn't be able to escape anymore. With those Specialists here, meant they were close behind.

He figured that if he sent his message out, the organization will help him escape later.

He started when his office doors burst open.

"Knock! Knock!" A sweet yet teasing voice said.

He pressed 'send' on his mobile as he turned to face the intruders. Not surprised by the six fairies slightly hovering in front of his desk.

"My how rude uninvited guests are these days." He said eyeing the main door behind them.

"Give up! There is no where you can run!" the red haired girl exclaimed as she erected barriers blocking off the exit. He glanced back and saw she even blocked the windows.

"And if I don't?" The man adjusted his tie to conceal his frustrations. He looked down at his phone when he felt it vibrate. His anger and fear rose making him loose all his control when he read the reply:

'Your services will no longer be required. Final mission: redeem yourself.'

"Just give up already! What's the point of fighting anymore?"

"Shut up Blondie! You fairies may have destroyed this base but the Phyre will never stop. We will rule the magical dimension!"

"How will you accomplish that? According to my calculations, more than 80 percent of your organization has been apprehended. It will not be long before we locate the rest, but without its leader, they will naturally disperse."

'They think I am Master? Fine, that might help me…'

"You think that will make a difference?! Sure you may have captured our pawns and knights but the match is far from over. I have trained my servants well; they will grow strong without me for a while." He smugly smirked.

"Not if we smoke them out first, and with the Phyre leader as bait they will eventually come to us." The curly haired girl stated.

Five of the fairies moved closer to the man, preparing to arrest him… "Wait." They paused and slightly glanced at their leader while carefully keeping the man in view.

"What's wrong?" The brunette asked as they protectively stepped back towards her.

"He's not the leader of Phyre… are you?" the smirk disappeared from the man's face at her question.

"Of course I am." 'She would figure it out… but something seems off…'

"If you are, then your followers have no loyalty for you. They all tried fleeing at the first chance they got, leaving you completely defenseless. Not to mention you said 'our pawns' not 'my'. If anything, you work closely with the true leader."

"She's right; in the interrogations, they were all blindly loyal to their leader. But when we attacked the so-called 'pawns' here, they didn't hesitate to escape or surrender." The fairy of music stated

"Then if you aren't the big honcho, then who is?" The fairy of the sun asked

The man sneered at the Winx with pure hatred and disgust. "The Phyre will never bow to likes of you!" He reached into his jacket and pulled out a laser gun.

Before he could fire a barrier was erected around the fairies as morphix binds wrapped tightly around him. He fell to the ground defenseless on his side, bound as he glared up at the fairies.

"I will never tell you anything!" He spat

"There are other ways to find what we seek. We will protect the magical dimension."

He smiled as he realized something. "For once your right Bloom, there is more than one way to get what we want. And we are willing to do anything for what we want. But are you ready to give up anything or anyone for the magical dimension's safety?" His smile grew when he saw a flash of worry in her blue eyes before her eyes narrowed at him.

Luckily he was still half-concealed by his desk and his phone was still in his hand when he fell. So he took the chance to quickly send a short message, hoping he wasn't pressing any wrong keys as he blindly typed.

"I will protect everything and everyone. The Company of Light will not fear any threat." Bloom responded confidently.

He ignored the burning pain his phone gave him as it overheated and died. The organization always destroyed any link to their leader when needed. But the man's smile never wavered… he was sure his master got the message… he was sure he completed his final mission.

"O I doubt that. For there is always something that every parent fears, and I am sure you are no exception."


"AARRGGHHH will you STOP already! I don't care about any of this! You know what I really want!" The dark blue haired girl growled.

"This is important you should pay closer attention." The light purple haired girl replied calmly

"I don't care about these teachings you are forcing me to learn about!"

"You should. Or do you enjoy being ignorant?" lifting her chin with a slightly smug expression on her face.

"How much longer are you going to keep me locked up in here?! Isn't it about time you let me out?" she barked out, ignoring the previous question.

"You know very well that your time has not come yet." Casually looking away.

Growling "When will it be time? I've been patient long enough! I want out!"

"No. You will be freed when I decide it is time, and that is not now. So I suggest that you keep yourself busy. Be grateful that I allow you to watch the happenings of the physical world."

"But it's sooo boring! Nothing fun or exciting happens. You know my kind like to run wild and feel, to feel the wind in our hair, the freedom in our souls. You know we hate to be locked up in tiny cages." The blue haired girl snapped. "I would think a lady of your pedigree would be more hospitable to us 'lesser creatures'." She added with sarcasm and air quotes.

'Gasp' "Inhospitable?! Such an ungrateful mutt! Your room is by far 'small', it is even larger than my own dwellings!" the light purple haired girl snapped back, her eyes starting to burn with rage at the insult.

"A cage is a cage no matter how big it is. I want to run free, to see the world through my own eyes… not be shown snippets of your choosing."

"I cannot free you … at least not yet. Even if I did, you would still be restricted in your movements and you will still continue to complain. So what does it matter?"

"But you get to leave when you please, while I am constantly imprisoned. Now that is no way to treat a guest."

She replied with a scoff. "You know full well that you are very much not a guest nor a stranger, so there is no reason to be gracious to you as I am. Besides we are both not able to cut our ties from here and 'run free' without resulting in dire consequences. You should be more grateful I don't let you out, without an 'anchor' you will weaken quickly just to disappear once again into nothing. Though if I do release you and you fade away, perhaps you will be lucky this time and become a ghost with some awareness." She smirked knowing her 'guest' couldn't deny a word.

"My so-called 'master' is supposed to be my anchor, but I doubt that you will allow me to bond with her like I am supposed to." She tried to reason.

"You may bond with her when she is strong enough to tame a beast like you."

"If that was the case then you would have freed me years ago. This 'master' must be weak if you don't think she is strong enough by now." The caged girl remarked.

"She is not weak by any means, I assure you."

"Then release me! I hate it in here!"

"I know it is not to your liking, but you must be patient."

"Ugh! Why don't you just kill me then? Put me out of my misery!"

The light purple haired girl tried hard not to roll her eyes. "Enough of your dramatics, you will be freed eventually."

"That's not soon enough… Why do I get the feeling that you are just trying to find ways to keep me locked up. You don't want to free me because you like being the center of attention… or you are afraid to fight me." The caged noticed the other avoiding eye contact and smiled. "That's it, isn't it? Admit it! You're scared of me! You know I'll win."

This time she couldn't stop the rolling of her eyes. "I hope you do recall that if one of us were to fall at the other's hand then we will both fall. What pleasure will there be in victory if it will ultimately end without a true victor, both perished in a permanent draw?"

"For the rush! That would be one heck of an adrenaline rush, and I wouldn't mind parting this world by having some fun. Besides, even fading into nothing is better than being locked up in a cage for all eternity." She barked with a slightly crazed look in her eyes.

'Sigh' "You are still an immature pup that needs strict discipline. I pity your master."

"Well, I pity your guardian. Being stuck with such a boring lizard like you must be the worst!"

"Such poor decorum."

"Bite me!"

"Only immature pups would do such unsanitary actions as that."

"Ugh! So prissy and proper, it's sickening. Why can't you be more like me? We are twins after all; embrace your wild side for once."

"We may be sisters, but we are complete opposites; of course we wouldn't have similar tastes. Unless you would like to learn more about proper etiquette and culture?" She smirked.

"Boorrriiinnnngggggg…." The dark haired girl sighed before slowly looking up to show her 'innocent puppy eyes' and pouting her lip ever so slightly "Please sis, I just want to be by your side as you experience the universe. Doesn't it pain you to be apart for so long?"

Turing away she sighed, choosing to ignore the question. "I must be going now; dawn approaches and today is a big day. I shall bid thee farewell, until next time." She turned and disappeared down the dark hallway.

"Humph." Stubbornly she crossed her arms and turned away refusing to show her disappointed or anger.

It grew silent in the caged room, only the sounds of rushing water, as well as some distant whispers from the physical world, could be heard. The dark haired girl took a deep breath before stomping and throwing herself, face first, onto her couch. She turned to face the ceiling, just to frown at the bars that looked down on her. Her frustrations grew the more she glared at the seemingly indestructible cold metal bars, as she recalled the memories from a lifetime ago.

But a mischievous grin began to grow when something began to change in the air around her and an escape plan began to form.

"I may just be a 'pup' for now, but the seals are weakening and as she grows stronger, I do as well. It won't be long until I am able to run free again. The magic is changing, the more it does the more chances I have to escape, and I have a feeling that I will break free sooner rather than later. And when the opportunity arises I won't miss a beat… Will you be ready, dear sister? Will this so-called master?"

Her eyes narrowed as they flashed with hatred "Even if she is chosen for me, I refuse to accept anyone as my master. I will not submit to anyone… never again." Her rage subsided as her thoughts began to wander to a new train of thought. "I wasn't lying when I told you I didn't mind dying to find out who is stronger… the light or dark? The sun or the moon?... I am itching to find out. And maybe one day I will."

She shot an energy blast at the bars above her in boredom and stared unwaveringly as the barrier sparked violently at the sudden attack. But her smile grew wide with excitement and joy when she saw that a slight portion of her attack had burned the ceiling beyond the bars, never before had the barrier swayed enough to let anything through especially if it came directly from her.

"You forget that this pup is a predator, I have enough patience to wait and surprise my prey. I will get stronger, I will get out of here, I will find what I have been searching for… the very thing that has been denied to me for so long… and when I am free I will come after you dear sister… and, if necessary, this pathetic 'master' as well. Nothing will stand in my way."
