You know those days, when everything someone does drives you absolutely insane? How even a simple laugh that used to ignite joy now caused you to grimace as the sound now reminds you of nails against a chalk board? Or how the every little flaw they have, whether it's a slight high pitch quality to their voice, an over enthusiastic personality or a slight self-absorbed trait now makes you want your out?
Well that's how Musa felt as she heard Stella drone on and on, the inane twittering grating on her every nerve. If she heard Brandon's names one more time…
Taking deep breaths the musically inclined girl calmed herself, pausing to relax all of her tensed muscle in her body before exhaling. The girls had just arrived at Magix, after choosing different modes of transport and were waiting for the boys that held their hearts in their hands to arrive.
"Does she ever shut up?" Layla, the only girl Musa could stand at the moment, whispered under her breath, inciting a snort of amusement from the other girl.
"My guess is? No. Although that can be arranged…" The music fairy muttered under her breath darkly to the chocolate skinned girl, causing a smirk to form on the girl's lips.
Before she could reply the irritating shriek from Bloom's phone broke out, interrupting Stella mid word.
"Thank god" Musa breathed out causes Layla to laugh and nod her head in agreement.
"Hey baby" Bloom chirped, her voice just an annoying to Layla and Musa, the dark-haired girl had a head ache already forming.
"What do you mean you and the guys can't come?" The fairy asked her tone in the middle of anger and concern, causing all the girls to look at her, different expressions gracing the girls faces.
"You all got detention, How come?" Bloom asked, her pace picking up as she started to pace, causing Tecna to roll her eyes and mutter beneath her breath.
"Riven got detention? Of course he did he's Musa's boyfriend. But how did you and your other friends get dragged into it?" Bloom huffed, sending a pointed glare at Musa, along with the other girls apart from Layla.
"Ok well I guess I'll see you later? Bye baby love you" bloom smiled as she hung up. The blissful expression she wore quickly shifted to one of fury as her gaze landed on the Asian beauty that was languidly leaning against the wall. She had one foot crossed over another; her arms folded as she listened to some rap song.
"It's all you're boyfriend's fault that ours are not here!" Bloom screamed her voice rose in volume until it came close to bursting Musa's ear drums.
"So? You're point is?" came Musa's careless response. One eye brow rose up before she rolled her eyes at the dragon fire fairy's expression.
"Because of your boyfriend's actions I won't be able to see my snookum's!" Stella seethed her usually honey coloured eyes darkening as the sun's rays seemed to intensify.
"Cool you're jets princess. One day of not seeing your 'snookum's' won't kill you" Layla replied, just as nonchalant as her closet friend did.
" Don't use that tone with me missy, not when my powers are superior" Stella seethed, her voice taking on a whiny tone that made Musa's ears ring and her head pound. Layla snorted but before she could respond, Tecna bet her to it.
"Oh rubbish, it's not all about you, you know. Although like best friend like best friend" Tecna responded, a slight irate tone in her normally calm tone.
"What's that's supposed to mean?" Bloom huffed, her eyes narrowing as the air around them heated up, clinging to their skin.
"Nothing sweetie, it's just that sometimes you are a bit… self-involved at times and don't think about how your actions affect people, that's all." Flora said, her normally calm tone taking a more forced politeness as she came closer to the arguing teens.
"Oh look here, the flower power hippie does have opinions. If you think it's all about me put your actions where your mouth are. I'll incinerate you like I would one of your stupid plants!" Bloom erupted. Her hands igniting as her hair floated wildly, like the flames she controls, around her head like a halo, apparently reached her temperamental limit.
"Oh look here, dragon fire girl can't keep her cool, let's see if I can help with that!" Layla hissed, before sending a spray of high pressure water at the furious girl, drenching her.
"That's it! You're dead!" Bloom hissed, her pure fury shifting her into her elegant Enchantix form, her large wings beating sending a spray of fairy dust on the cobble stone below.
"Let's dance, princess" Layla spat, before she to shifted into her Enchantix, her power flowing through her veins before shooting off into the large expanse of sky.
"This is your entire fault Musa! If you could just follow orders we wouldn't be in this mess!" Stella growled, her eyes lighting up she her clothing melting away, leaving her in her revealing and powerful Enchantix form.
"No it isn't, if Tecna would stop getting in the way then everything would be fine" Musa's rusty sounding voice exclaimed, her eyes narrowing at the fuchsia head girl, as well as the blonde.
"Don't bring Tecna into you're drama, as usual, Musa" Flora glared, getting annoyed with her squabbling and immature friends.
"Ooh look, flower power has finally grown a pair and can fight the techno dork's battles" Bloom smirked as she dodged one of Layla's energy balls, swooping in and 'accidentally' hitting flora with a wing.
"Oh sorry, I didn't see you there" Bloom smiled, a fake apologetic tone in her words.
Glaring, Flora allowed her clothes to shift, and a pair of stunning wings to sprout from her back, like flowers from the earth. Shooting up into the sky, Flora sent a barrage of glowing white seeds towards Bloom, getting a satisfying shriek of pain from the red-head.
"That's not fair! Enchantix sun blast!" Stella shouted, her body glowing a luminous gold before shooting the attack at the determined flower girl.
"Protective energy shield!" Tecna cast, having shifted into her Enchantix form, she surrounded Flora and herself in a glowing green energy bubble, cancelling Stella's attack.
Musa groaned as she muttered curses under her breath, she to changed. Her hair elongating before she started shifting into her red and yellow Enchantix form, her tiara digging into her skull.
"Enchantix bass boom!" the fairy cast sending her attack spiralling towards Bloom who her own attack towards Layla.
Pretty soon each girl was working in pairs, each defending their best friends from the attacks of the other. Soon all the girls were darting around, dodging attacks and sending their own streaming towards their attackers. Pretty soon they were a blur of burn orange, blue with streams of red-orange, as well as mauve and vivid red with pink, green and purple mixed in.
Soon each girl was lying on the groaned, feeling drained. Their heart beats hammered inside their cheats as their breath wheezed out of their beaten bodies. Even Bloom felt exhausted and couldn't stand.
After catching their breath, the girls all stood up and glared at each other, the hatred so thick, it was suffocating.
Just as each girl was about to comment, the sky lit up purple colour replicating the colour of an old bruise. The clouds began to interweave and darken, creating a sheet that blocked out the blue expanse that they were fluttering about in before.
Out of the gloom a figure slithered out. When she was close enough, the girls could see her statuesque form along with her flowing purple locks, the colour of a rotten plum.
"Beat it you old hag, can't you see we are busy?" Musa hissed, her anger and frustration causing her to lash out at this mysterious figure.
The woman, who could now be shown as in her late 20's, early 30s glared at Musa, her piercing violet eyes seeming to cut through the girl, piercing her fragile and beating heart.
The 6 girls looked at her, Musa glaring straight back. Stella, being her, flicked her eyes over the woman's body, and wrinkled her eyes when she saw the garments. The form fitted burgundy dress peeked out from under her black cloak, shielding her face. Only her eyes were visible due to their luminosity. Loose strands spilled down the woman's back, kissing the woman's knees.
"You shall address me as the Mistress of Sins" the woman said. Her slightly harsh tones could cut steel. However her voice was calm and polite perfectly controlled. Her voice held no emotion, as if trying to keep anything about her shrouded in a clock of uncertainty.
"Yo, what is your name and why the hell are you here and what are you planning?" Musa hissed, her temper flaring. She didn't like puzzles. She didn't like uncertainty or surprises. She liked being in control. And in this exchange the woman held all the control, leaving Musa feeling stripped and bare.
"Insolent girl, I have told you my name. And as for what my presence is doing here, well let me show you" She snickered. Her laugh controlled and emotionless but letting a tone of mirth lace the sound.
"Freeze" She whispered and a strange black magic enveloping her body before snaking its way towards the girls.
The girls screamed. Some shifted into their winx and tried to fly frantically away, while others tried to run. However it was no use.
The magic latched on their bodies. The chilling soul crushing powers froze their limbs in a translucent darkness, not allowing them to move, not even twitch.
"What are you doing?" Musa shouted above the roar of her friend, trying furtively to move her leg while the power made it's slow, sluggish ascent over her body.
"Sound wave" Musa cried out, fear caging her body; claiming her limbs thus causing her not fully charge; sending a weakened wave of sound towards the women.
"Pathetic" the woman's cruel voice hissed as she caught Musa's power and sent it back towards her, amplifying it and weaving her own power in with it.
"Ah" Musa screamed as her body got blasted backwards. However only her torso moved as her lower body was frozen, as if by ice.
"Musa" Layla gasped seeing her best friend like that made her heart ache. However her hands were frozen so she could only helplessly watch as she was beaten up, by her own power.
Pretty soon, all the girls were unable to move. Their eyes widened in horror and various expressions twisted on their delicate faces. Fear, disbelief and anger were only grazing the surface.
"seems I over estimated you" The woman whispered to herself as she strolled over to the girls, each foot meticulously placed before the other began is decent on the cobble stone.
Stopping at Flora, the woman bought a finger up to the girl's forehead. With one swift motion she pushed her over, Flora unable to catch her fall due to the sluggish spell that enveloped her. She crashed on the ground, her eyes widened in the fear that over took her body before she was frozen. However now they seemed to widen more but it was just a trick of the light.
"As I said, pathetic" sneered the woman as she strolled around each girl, pausing to dissect each one with her gaze, as if trying to tell their flaws and dislodge their hidden secrets.
Pausing at Musa, a cruel smile twisted on her lips as the woman ran a soft milky hand down the girl's cheek; a defiant expression frozen on the girl's lily-white face.
"This was meant for Bloom, and if you had keep your mouth shut you wouldn't have been experience this worsened punishment" the woman spoke eloquently, each word dictated perfectly, the perfect amount of emphasises on each, important word.
Gliding away, the woman's long strides brought her to the middle of the circle that had happened to form. The ring was formed by all of the six girls. Two in full fairy form, one mid shift and 3 in human form.
Closing her eyes the woman placed herself gracefully on the earth, her eyes shut as calm, dangerous magic brewed within her.
"Magic of sins
I call to thee
Lend me your power
Surround me
Meld with each girl
Let you're power unfurl
Power of sins
Call to thee"
The lady's eyes shot open as if a switch had been flicked. Her body stood erect as orbs of power shot out of her palms. One was a deep maroon red, the colour of blood. Another was a poisonous green, the colour of jealous thoughts. The third was a bright red with pink streaks, the colour of a rose. Another was a putrid yellow, the colour of mustard. Another was brown, the colour of dirt. The next one was blue, the colour of cyan. The next one was green, the colour of money.
Each orb spiralled around, creating a mini vortex the seemed to spin wildly yet controlled. One by one the orbs stopped in front of one fairy. The poisonous green one stopped at Bloom while Stella got the Mustard yellow one before her. The one hovering in front of Flora was the hue of dirt while the orb in front of Tecna's body was the shade of money. Meanwhile the colour of the orb that was directly in front of Layla's body was the colour of cyan. However Musa has 2 orbs. One the colour of a red and pink rose while the other was the colour of blood.
Synchronized, the 7 floating orbs changed to the colour of the girl before them. Bloom's previously green one turned cyan blue while Stella's yellow one turned a dazzling orange. Both of Musa's turned bright red while Layla's turned the colour of sea green. Tecna's orb that floated before her body started to turned lavender in colour, while Flora had a soft, petal pink orb before her.
The orbs then proceeded to melt into the girl's chests making a flash of white obscured the surrounding area.
Once the flash has seeped away, the woman was gone leaving 6 unconscious fairies in her wake.
