WINX POWER: PHOENIX RISING
EPISODE 423: ATTACK DISTRACTION
STORY OUTLINE
Darnell is sleeping peacefully one night, thoughts going through his mind, including those of his love Myrta. Suddenly, the thoughts were disturbed by another vision. In this one, the six dark figures converge on the fire-filled figure's place of residence, and the figure flies up to them. The vision is so vivid, yet partial. He suddenly wakes up, in a cold sweat. THIS IS THE WITCHES' ENDGAME.
At Shadowhaunt, the Coven has personally grown tired of this game of cat and mouse, and are ready to rid the realms of this fairy once and for all. Yet, instead of a full head-on assult, they need something else. As the six think of how to go about this, Stormy speaks up, and suggests a simple plan. Since Alfea might have some of the guys from Red Fountain there to protect them, why not launch an attack on their school, as to lure them away, and to purge that fairy into the open for easy pickings. The Trix knows that she can't resist protecting her school, and her friends. Inri thinks about it, and agrees. But what to use for the attack? Darcy suggests a more powerful Mayhem Globe, like the one they used on the school when they tried to steal the Codex. The ideas are coming fresh, as Icy offers her part. She says that after the Globe has done its job of having all the guys come back to Red Fountain, launch a sneak attack on Alfea using powerful zombies that can wipe out all the fairies, but keep their target around for their pleasure and disposal. The ancient witches are very proud of their younger predecessors, using what they learned in the past battles to affect a present outcome. Their endgame is set; now, to execute.
At Alfea, Darnell tells Ms. Faragonda of the impending assult on Bloom, and the uncertainty of how it will be done. The headmistress contacts Saladin at Red Fountain, informing him of the developments. He sends the school's top heroes to the school for fairies to offer additional protection. Brandon, Timmy, Riven, Helia, Sky and a few others arrive a few hours later, to the joy of their girlfriends. Salidin knows this group is the best they've ever had, and are very effective. As they get settled in, the attack distraction plan is just beginning.
Back at Red Fountain, Saladin sets out a strategy with Prof. Kodotorta in case those witches attack. When one of the heroes report a Mayhem Globe on the north side, that's one thing he didn't expect. The fighters are sent to the sky, to defend the campus. Out of all they try, that globe's attack power is more that they can handle. In his office, he contacted Faragonda, informing her that the globe is destroying the campus, and that their defenses are maxed out. He requests that the remaining students return to Red Fountain to keep the school from certain destruction. She reluctantly gives in, and tells the guys to board the ship and head back to their school, except Sky, whose sole duty is to make sure Bloom is kept safe from the sextet until the right time.
As they arrive at the school, they immediately go into battle to hold the Mayhem Globe at bay. But regardless of what they do, it keeps hitting hard. Far away, the Trix watch as their plan is being shown very effective. Now, their ancient ancestors need to do their part.
Meanwhile at Alfea, Faragonda gathers the girls for a session to prepare them for the imminent fight of their school. All the fairies know that the sextet are after Bloom, and are willing to give everything they have to protect her. For three years, she and the girls of the Winx Club have defended the school from the witches; now it's time to return the favor.
Above the forest, the Coven recite a spell, and suddenly, bony hands are seen everywhere. The undead have been resurrected, and as they stand up, the ancient witches can't help but smile. Hundreds of zombies are lined up, and ready to march. Inri directs their path, with them now marching. It won't be long, until those fairies are smashed to a pulp, and that fire fairy is in their evil grasp.
