"He doesn't know anything!" Lord Darkar shouted to Bloom.
All acted as though he'd not even spoken because their attention was on Sky.
The blond continued, "I know what your heart is like. I've felt it! Your heart is full of light, Bloom."
He gazed deep into Bloom's eyes, not their usual warm blue but golden and cat-like, with a look of such sincerity and pleading it could soften even the most stone cold heart.
"Your heart is so pure and good that it saved me."
Bloom's expression became unsure with every word. He was getting through to her.
"You didn't let me go and I'm not going to let you go, so you have to fight this, Bloom! You have to break free! You have to come back because…"
Sky's voice trailed off and tears formed in his eyes as he said something he should have said a long time ago, "I… love you."
Everybody gasped at his words, astonished. He'd used the last of his strength to say those three words.
"Sky!" Brandon shouted, watching his best friend collapse.
"It looks like his time's up, in fact, all your time's up!" Darkar intruded on the tender moment.
Bloom hesitated, her eyes flashing between their usual blue and the evil gold. Meanwhile, the teachers arrived in Realix. Faragonda and Griffin watched what was happening.
"She's fighting the darkness." Alfea's Head Mistress stated.
Ms. Griffin hmmed and said, "Yes, but what if she loses?"
Faragonda's expression became grim, "Then we do whatever's necessary to prevent the Ultimate Power from falling into the wrong hands."
"Bloom!" Darkar demanded, his voice actually holding some worry. Whether that worry was for her or that his power would slip away was anybody's guess. The distraction though proved beneficial for the group of teens that had followed the two into Realix. The spell that had held the Heroes and Winx to the ground broke in the moment of distraction, setting them free.
Bloom shut her eyes tightly and growled in frustration. When she opened them again they burned with golden malevolence and her pupils had manage to become even thinner slits. An evil smile spread across her face as she prepared to hand over the Ultimate Power to her dark lord, "Yes, Lord Darkar."
"Bloom, no!" Stella pleaded, but the sun fairy's plea was ignored.
A blast of dark purple energy flew through the air and struck Dark Bloom, sending her into stone pillar. She crumbled to the ground in a heap and the Ultimate Power disappeared as it's wielder fell unconscious.
"No!" Darkar roared, spitting fire at the group. The realm of Realix shook and the floating ruins began to fall and crumble.
Faragonda and Griffin, who had blasted Bloom, put up a protective barrier between the stream of fire and the teens.
"What do we do now?" Flora asked in dismay.
Layla spoke up, "We give it everything we've got and hope for the best."
"The probability of succeeding is at an all-time low. There's no way we can win without Bloom, even if we converge our Charmix." The familiar British voice of Techna informed them.
"Well, we've gotta at least try!" Layla protested.
"I'm in." Musa agreed.
Stella nodded, "Count me in too!"
Together, the girls activated their Charmix and power converged, creating a blast of energy that rocked the foundation of Realix, causing it to begin total collapse.
"We've gotta get out of here before this whole place comes down!" Brandon shouted.
Timmy grabbed Riven and helped him through the portal. Griffin and Faragonda followed the girls out. Darkar shot another stream of fire at Codatorta as the teacher made his way to help Sky but Helia used his Laser String Glove to grab hold of Darkar and pull him back, his stream of fire breath being redirected and missing Red Fountain's head teacher. As Helia held Darkar back Codatorta got Sky safely through the portal. The group saw the Shadow Phoenix break free of the laser strings and turn on Helia just as the Pixies could no longer hold open the portal and it sealed shut.
"Helia!" Flora rushed towards the portal with tears cascading down her cheek, but she wasn't quick enough to reach the portal before it closed.
She turned to the Pixie Elders, "We have to go back for him!"
"I'm sorry, Flora, but the portal can't be reopened from this side." Athena told her sadly.
Stella came forward angrily, "What about Bloom?!"
"I'm afraid there's no saving any of them now." Ms. Griffin replied.
Faragonda sighed, "There's nothing we can do now. We need to return to Alfea and inform their families of what happened."
Reluctantly the group left Shadow Haunt and returned to the fairy school. Everybody cried that day for their lost friends.
Meanwhile, the battle in Realix still raged despite the realm falling to pieces around the few who remained. Darkar rounded on Helia and breathed fire at the boy, fuelled by his rage. The Trix were now back up and preparing to join the fight once more, shooting a blast of icy magic at the evil phoenix.
The bird turned to them and opened its mouth to shoot more fire, but laser strings wrapped around its neck, preventing the attack. The magic built up in Darkar's body, unable to escape and too late to stop. The Shadow Fire burned and writhed inside his phoenix body, growing stronger and stronger with each passing second. Eventually the power became too much and burned away Darkar's body to find its freedom. The Lord of Shadow Haunt was destroyed instantly as the energy exploded, enveloping the entire realm in an epic dark magic burst. When the energy faded all occupants of the realm were nowhere to be see and the place itself was completely destroyed.
the name 0f this st0ry is actually a reference t0 an existing b00k. Als0, its a hint. Helia's name means "sun" and this st0ry is ab0ut evil and shad0ws and darkness.
