Chapter 1: a normal day and the rescue mission
Jade and Hannah are just sitting at a park bench talking to each other.
"Hey Jade, do you want to go to the mall?" Hannah asks and jade just smiles and nods. Hannah transforms into her believix form and takes jade's hand then uses her zoomix to transport them to right next to the mall.
"Wow, awesome." Jade smiles but then feels a familiar presence around them and then starts to get a headache.
"You okay?" Hannah asks Jade as they keep walking.
"I'm fine, don't worry. I think I'm going to just sit outside for a minute. It's beautiful out here." Jade says and walks over to a bench. Hannah sighs and then goes into the mall. Jade walks over to a bench and closes her eyes trying to imagine what life would be like if she was normal and not ordinary.
Then she felt the familiar presence again. She opened her eyes and saw a figure coming out of a bush. Then before she could get up and leave someone came up from behind and pushed a napkin up to her face. She tried to escape but whatever smell that was coming from the napkin weakened her. She was forced to look straight at the figure. It was Denman.
"Hello Jade, nice to see you again." That was the last thing Jade heard before passing out.
"Where's Jade?" Bloom asked Hannah as she walked up to the winx girls.
"She didn't show up?" Hannah asked concerned.
"No, she should have been here an hour ago though." Bloom said
Meanwhile Jade is strapped to a table and is freaking out." Where am I?" Jade asks hoping someone will answer her." You 're in my lab and your sweet friend Hannah will be here soon" Denman steps out of the shadows and then smiles evilly.
"She has nothing to do with this, why can't you just leave her alone, you have me after all." Jade points out, she knows that the only way to save her friend is to sacrifice herself.
"And why is that such a good thing?" Denman questions. Jade thought about it for a second, she knew what she had to do, but it'd probably be really bad.
"Because I have powers people could only dream of." Jade explains and probably saves her friend.
"I see, too bad I don't believe you." Denman smiles and picks up one of her evil tools and looks down at Jade.
"Denman, let her go!" Hannah screams as she enters the room.
"Get out of here Hannah, she's after you too. Leave me here I can escape don't worry. I'll be fine. Go now" Jade screams to her friend that looks like she's about to cry.
"I'm not leaving you behind, we stick together no matter what Jade." Hannah says as she fired a fire arrow and frees Jade.
"Thanks Hannah" Jade smiles and gets off the table.
"She can't leave she signed a deal with me." Denman says messing up Jade's plan.
"What deal? What is she talking about Jade?" Hannah asks, hoping what Denman said wasn't true. Jade doesn't speak, she's too afraid.
"She told me she has an uncontrollable power and I told her I wanted to see it and in exchange I'd leave you and the rest of your pathetic friends alone." Denman smiled, she stirred up trouble for Jade.
"Jade, how could you do this? I thought we were best friends." Hannah said looking right at Jade, small tears falling down her face.
"We are and that's why I'm doing it." Jade says hoping her friend will realize that it's the truth. Denman grabs a bottle of water and sprays some on Hannah and after ten second sees that she's a mermaid.
"If you touch her you lose me." Jade pauses and steps in from of Hannah. "Leave now or this will end badly, just trust me, what Denman says isn't all true." Jade says looking down at her friend. Bloom dries Hannah off and she returns back to her human form.
"What do you want with us Denman?" Hannah asks as Emma, Rikki, Cleo, and Bella are brought in by Denman's workers.
"Sorry Hannah we tried to get away but they caught us eventually." Emma apologized looking at Hannah and Jade. Hannah gives Emma a it's okay look.
"I want Jade, actually I have her and now I have all of you." Denman snickers just asking for trouble.
"Leave them out of this Denman, or should I say mom. Leave them alone." Jade said courageously, ignoring what the consequences about what the others would think of her.
"Mom?" The girls say at once all shocked.
"Yeah, I was shocked myself when she told me. Anyway, it's time for me to do this." Jade says as she unleashes most of her energy into an attack that knocks everyone to the ground. "Go now." Jade says and then falls to the ground unconscious.
"Jade, no!" Hannah screams and moves toward Jade while the winx as well as Cleo, Bella, Emma, and Rikki are fighting Denman's workers. Jade wakes up but has a huge headache.
"Hannah, I mean it you have to leave now. This is the one time you have to trust me, please leave me here, I have to know." Jade says as she sits up and looks Hannah right in the eye and pleads.
"Okay be careful" Hannah says and hugs Jade before leaving with the rest of them. The workers run after them.
"Bye Hannah and I will." Jade screams at Denman walks over and stares.
"Leave them be, we have the one that's important" She looks at Jade smiling. Jade, whose really exhausted just sits there.
"But Hannah is ultra powerful and so are those winx girls, if we get them then we'll be rich." A random worker complains.
"Don't worry we'll be right with her. Once we find the secret to her power. For now just lay here" Denman orders as the worker grabs Jade and places her on an examination table and then falls asleep.
Although Jade is sleeping she sends a message to Hannah saying: Hannah, I'm fine don't worry about me, I think they'll end up going after you anyway and so I'm warning you now, please be careful and I'll be okay I promise, she can't do anything that can hurt me. After a minute Hannah responds: Okay, I'll come back for you soon. Jade thinks about what she should say. Jade: Don't I'll be okay, I will escape as soon as I can. Hannah: Okay Jade I trust you Jade: Be safe.. I'll tell you the truth later.
While Jade is sleeping Denman conducts experiments on Jade.
" let's see how she gets her powers." Jay says.
"Indeed, let the tests begin." Denman says grabbing a tool from the table just as Jade is waking up. She sees Denman and another person over her.
"what are you doing to me?" Jade questions already having a pretty good theory.
"Figuring out how you get your powers" Jay said happily.
"Never going to happen, no one can get to them other than me." Jade says and smiles.
"Looks like we'll just have to do more tests them" He smiles back except more evilly.
"Try all you want but you'll never get them. Now tell me the truth Denman, how can you possibly be my mom?" Jade asks wanting answers.
"Because I am, this is your birth certificate and this picture proves that I'm your mother, it's me and you before I had to give you away." Jade just stares at Denman as if she's just given her a million dollars.
"Okay, but why? Why did you do it?" Jade asks confused.
"Because I didn't have the money to raise you because your father left to work on a marine experiment in Hawaii. I'm truly Sorry Jade." Denman said actually being sincere.
"You have no idea how much I've been though. Hannah's the only one who understands me. She's known me the longest." Jade says sad, and a bit angrily considering that she's still strapped to a table.
"If I could turn back time and change that day you know I would do that." Denman says.
"No I don't think you would." Jade says angry.
"How can I show you I'm truly sorry Jade?" Denman asks wanting her daughter to love her again.
"Well you could start by not dissecting me and letting me out." Jade pointed out in a way she just wanted to be let out. Denman looked like she was considering it.
"You can't be serious Denman, what about out plans?" Jay asks wanting to continue.
"Change of plans Jay." Denman says putting the tools away.
"Are you serious, you're going to put all your work away for her?" Jay stares at Jade.
"Apparently she is" Jade smiles happily. "Now let me out."
"She is my daughter Jay and I intend to get to know her better. Yes Jade" Denman says and unlocks Jade's restraints.
"Thanks, now I have to go somewhere." Jade says and gets up off the table.
"Wait Jade, there's something you should know about me" Jay says and gets Jade's attention. She stops and looks at him.
"And that is? Whatever it is I need to know." Jade says demanding answers.
"I'm your father Jade. I came back from Hawaii five weeks ago and I stayed under cover working with your mom to try to find you." Jade just stared at him as if he was crazy.
"Wow… Wait a second, what the heck…. Why do you want to experiment on me then? Wait, how did I get these powers? I can't control them very well. Why are you after me and my friends?" Jade's so confused now and needs to get some things straight.
"I'm sorry I was in a bit of a shock when I saw you as a mermaid. You got those powers from my mom and me. We want to work together to help humans believe that myths are true." Jay says looking right at Jade.
"Wow… Then why don't you just let me go and get my friends instead of doing this to me and going after them. I can convince them. I mean really if you just told me that it'd be way better and I mean really experimenting on your own daughter? I'm only 15 and I mean really. Wait, I don't get it, how did I get this horrible power?" Jade asked confused.
"I'm sorry we didn't mean for it to go this far. You got the darkness power from me. It was forced upon me and now you have it. I'm so sorry Jade." He looked at her and she nodded understanding he was sad.
"Well I can't do anything about that now. So yeah, I'm going to go get my friends now." Jade says and leaves.
"Don't forget to tell my workers to stand down." Denman says right before Jade runs through the door.
"Harmonic Attack!" Musa says as she uses sound streams to make the bad guys go crazy.
Meanwhile Jade is looking for her friends and suddenly feels Musa's attack. Jade runs to where everyone is and isn't shocked to see every one fighting.
"Stop, all of you. Listen, Denman and Jay tell you to stand down. Winx, Bella, Emma, Rikki, Cleo stop. Hannah, I need to talk to you." Jade says as everyone just stares at her and stops fighting.
"Is something wrong?" Hannah asks a bit afraid.
"Actually it's quite the opposite. I found out the truth." Jade smiles and walks over to Hannah. "I found out who my parents are," Jade whispers.
"Really who?" Hannah questions.
"you might not like it if I tell you." Jade says a bit scared to tell her.
"I can handle it "Hannah says giving Jade a hug for reassurance.
"Okay, it's Denman and Jay…." Jade says while looking Hannah in the eyes.
"Wow, that's huge news Jade" Hannah says backing away slightly from her. "I didn't think it would be them because they're trying to expose us." Hannah explains.
"Yeah… I though you'd be mad or something. It's not what you think though. Will you please come back with me?" Jade asks hoping she will say yes.
"Well, I'm mad, shocked, and surprised about this. For what exactly?" Hannah asks a bit loud enough so everyone can here her.
"Yeah, I'm sure, I knew you'd be mad but I need the support, please do this for me." Jade pleaded.
"okay for you, but I don't trust them at all." Hannah mutters a bit quieter then the last time she spoke.
"I though you'd say that and I don't really either yet but we have to go. Thanks." Jade says and hugs her best friend again.
"You're welcome." Hannah says but think to herself that she'll have to keep a close eye on them because she knows Jade won't really.
"lets go. Can you tell the others it's okay and that we should go?" Jade asks as they walk over to the Winx and the others. Musa, Bloom, Emma, Rikki, Flora, and Hannah follow Jade back to where her parents are.
"Hi girls, listen I'm truly sorry about earlier." Denman says but sees that everyone has cautious eyes.
"Whatever, what's this plan of yours?" Hannah asks a bit coldly.
"We want to work together to help humans believe that myths are true." Denman explains but sees the look in the girls' eyes.
"Humans already believe that fairies exist." Musa says trying to prove a point.
"That is true but do they believe what you can do? Your abilities?" Denman asks. Jade isn't really paying attention she's battling a massive headache and is starting to feel dizzy.
"Yes, we helped save them from the wizards of the Black circle and from the major fairies revenge." Bloom explains and is reminded again about her past.
"Does everyone know was fairies can do as in have they seen you in action?" Denman questions.
"Yes they were these girls bloom knows, we went to the wizards of the black circle to become fairies to battle us and make humans think all fairies are evil. But we proved ourselves and showed them that we are good and are here to protect them." Flora said happily
"That's great Flora. Now I think we need to discuss what we're going to do." Denman says thinking about the best way to say her plan.
"why don't we show them that mermaids exist by swimming in public?" Bloom suggests. The others stare at her as if she's crazy. Jade is loosing her strength fast and is feeling really dizzy.
"You can turn into mermaids?" Denman questions a bit surprised.
"Yes with mermaidix." Bloom smiled happily.
"Jade are you okay?" Hannah asks looking over to her best friend who's standing next to her.
"What's happening to her?" Jay asked confused.
"She's losing her strength from the battle earlier. We must heal her." Flora says using her urgent voice.
"I'm fine just a little dizzy don't worry about me." Jade says just as she falls and luckily Hannah catches her.
"Flora's right, she needs to rest, she used way too much of her energy earlier." Hannah says laying Jade on the ground.
"Lets use the believix healing convergence." Bloom suggests. All the fairies nod in agreement.
"No, that won't work." Denman warns.
"She's right, you could make it worse." Jay disagrees knowing that because its only half of them that it'll only strengthen her for a while.
"Don't worry, it'll work." Bloom says as they all heal Jade. Jade wakes up a minute afterward to everyone staring at her.
"What happened? Why are you all staring at me?" Jade asks confused as ever.
"You passed out Jade, we were all worried about you." Flora explains while Hannah helps Jade up.
"Thanks," Jade smiles happy she has such awesome friends. "So um now what?" Jade asks wondering if anyone had any ideas.
"I think it's time to hang out as a family" Jay suggests looking at Jade.
"Um, okay? What about the others?" Jade asks wanting Hannah to be there for her if she needed it.
"We're just going to hang out at the mall." Bloom says thinking of an excuse quickly. Jade starts to get nervous and sends Hannah a mind message saying: I'm sort of a bit scared. Hannah: Don't be, you'll be fine. Call me if something happens. Jade: I will, see you later. Then they all leave.
"So, Jade do you want to go out to eat somewhere?" Jay asks her hoping the answer is yes.
"Sure, um where though?" Jade asks hoping they'll say somewhere good.
"How about Rikki's café or taco bell?" Denman suggested.
"um.. we can go to Rikki's it doesn't matter." Jade said she would have rather gone to Rikki's though. "ok honey" said jay with a happy tone. Jade is curious why her father left. "so um why did you leave dad?" she said with a curious tone.
With a sad/guilt tone jay responds "I had a great opportunity in Hawaii. it was very hard to leave you and your mother, but I did it to get money to raise you. I felt guilty. after three weeks I left because of home sickness and me and your mother wanted to set things right."
Jade considers what her father said then responded "okay, so um why didn't you try to find me sooner?". Jay said " we thought you wouldn't want anything to do with us. you'd be better off with out us. I know we haven't been there half of your life, but we will be there for the rest jade." Jade is overwhelmed and then says "wow this is a lot to take in for one day. so tell me about my powers please. "
Jay responded with a serious tone " ok you have special powers, your abilities are to help people in need like your friends. The dark powers however are a blessing and a curse." Jade gives this I know look to her father and says "I know that already, I've had them for two years now. Do you have any advice? " jay continues to speak "you cannot be outside on a full moon. If that happens the dark magic will consume you, take over your body to rule the world. like I said I never wanted it. it was forced upon me."
Jade also continues to speak "how? it was sort of forced on me too, no one told me about any of it. I learned it by myself, the only one that helped was Hannah." Jay says "the dark magic will soon turn against you, and take over your body. but with help you can control it and avoid this. see its good to have friends that care."
Jade says "yea it is and okay, I've been working to control my powers. now um mom I have a question for you." dr. denmen says " what is it sweetheart?" with a curious tone. jade responds "why did you go after my friends Cleo, Emma, Rikki, and Bella?"
Dr. denmen says "well, when I first discovered they were mermaids I wanted to run tests to see how they got that way. But later down the road I realized that it was wrong, to expose them. I realized that now because humans think its myths but I want to show them that there good. I guess I was a little obsessed but not any more. im willing to give up my expose mermaid research for you jade. and I want to work on showing the world that mermaids are peaceful beings. "
Jade says with a sincere tone "alright now, thanks for all that. wait when you said you wanted to find the source of my power u mean the evil one right? can you do anything about it? the only one of my friends that knows is Hannah.. " jay said "yes, we are trying to find way to stop the curse before it gets worse."
With a relief tone jade says "thanks, I think that's good because I'm starting to loose control. with what happened during the last full moon." jay responded with a happy tone "your welcome. yes we know what's best for our special girl."
