Chapter 2: United Asunder
Will Vandom continued to stroke the little kitten ever so gently as the rest of the Winx Club watched with interest. "What will it take to get rid of Nerissa?" Musa asked. Will sighed and looked out the window. "The rest of WITCH is spread thin, and if two or three members of WITCH were to fall short, then I wouldn't be able to transform them into Guardians." Wilma explained to the Fairy from Melody. While the girls were talking about what to do for the oncoming threat, Tecna typed away on her datapad. "I've been able to track down the rest of WITCH so far, Will." Tecna stated. Will turned around and smiled. "I can't wait to get them back together!" she exclaimed.
Tecna smiled as she pulled up various screens of the locations and current activities of Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin. Will smiled to see that Irma was finally dating Martin, and that Cornelia was finally on peaceful terms with Caleb. Caleb had decided to stay on Meridian to help protect Elyon, the rightful queen and heir to the throne, which deeply upset Cornelia, but now, they were back together. Will sighed as she turned away. "I could call one of them, but two Guardians just aren't enough to combat against the Knights of Vengeance." Will stated. Tecna looked to Will with a smile. "I think that Musa and I could try to come up with a way for you to call all the Guardians." She answered. Musa looked to Will and smiled, in which Will raised an eyebrow in confusion.
Above the roof of Love and Pets, Tecna set up a large device for Will to use while Musa held up her phone. "When you call the rest of your team and unite the Guardians, then they'll be able to hear you, transform, and come here." She explained. Will nodded with happiness as Tecna gave a nod of approval. "I've managed access all of your friends' addresses at the same time, so it should be a cinch." Tecna explained. Will smiled at this and looked to Musa. She nodded as well. Will grinned and lifted up the Heart of Kandrakar while pressing the dial button on her phone.
Meanwhile, Cornelia was spending some time with Caleb in Paris. The former Rebel Leader looked around the city with awe. "I never imagined a place like this!" he stated. Cornelia smirked as she dragged him to a restaurant. "Come on, Caleb, we can have a tour later on." She sarcastically said. At that moment, Cornelia's phone rang. Caleb and Cornelia looked to it. "It's from Will." Caleb said. "Let's see what this is all about." Cornelia stated as they both ran into a building to check the call.
Meanwhile, Irma was with Martin in Heatherfield. "I can't believe you actually asked me out." Martin remarked while Irma chuckled. "Let's just say that I had a change of heart over time." She said. Before the two could kiss, Irma's phone rang. The two raised their eyebrows as Irma checked to see who had called. After seeing, she cursed to herself before looking back to her new boyfriend. "I'll be back in just a sec!" Irma yelled as she ran over into an alley.
Taranee, on the other hand, was helping out Hay Lin at the Silver Dragon Restaurant. "Thanks for helping out, Taranee." Hay Lin said cheerfully. Taranee chuckled and winked. "It's the least I could do for all that we've been through." She replied. Yan Lin, the grandmother of Hay Lin and the former Guardian of Air, walked in with her twin sister Mira, her Altermere from Nerissa. "Will has just called. We need to contact her!" Yan Lin told them. The two girls looked to each other before running into the basement.
In Gardenia, Will waited for someone to pick up while the rest of the Winx watched in awe. "WITCH, come in!" she called. After a minute passed, Irma's voice came in. "Will, it's been such a long time! How long has it been, a month or so?" she asked. Will chuckled before taking a deep breath. "It's been a year, Irma, and we've all graduated." She replied back. The rest of the Winx chuckled as Will smiled. "Will, is that you?" another voice came. Will laughed as she recognized the voice. "Hay Lin, how's it been?" she asked. Taranee's voice entered afterwards as Will laughed. "Taranee, tell me, how's Nigel?" she asked. Cornelia came in and laughed. "If you wanted to talk again, all you just had to do was ask." She quipped. "It's great to hear from you again, Will." Caleb stated. Will laughed. "Caleb, I'm so happy to hear from you again!" she exclaimed. WITCH and Caleb all laughed as the rest of the Winx watched with warm hearts.
Will's smile lessened as she moved onto what was important as of the moment. "Okay, so now that we're all here, we have a situation." She stated. The Guardians nodded and started to listen. "Nerissa's back. I just fought her Knights of Vengeance and it seems that she's about to return for revenge." She explained. Yan Lin's voice came in and said, "Will, where do you happen to be right now?" Will looked around and sighed. "I'm in a place called Gardenia, and WITCH has to get back together again." She explained. "Look, if you want out, please tell me, and you won't have to be involved in any more of this." She warned her friends. The rest of WITCH laughed and sighed. "Being a Guardian is what we do best!" Hay Lin called. "We wouldn't miss out on it for the world!" Irma exclaimed. Will smiled and nodded. "Alright, let's go." She said. She soon lifted up the Heart and spoke into the phone. "With some help I've got, I'll be able to unite everyone from where I am." She explained.
Just then, Irma stopped her. "Wait, Will! I'm with Martin, so I just need to get rid of him." She explained. WITCH all rolled their eyes as Irma ran back to Martin with her hand on the phone. "Martin, I'm sorry, but something really important came up. I need to go." She said. The rest of WITCH all awed on the phone as Irma looked to her device with annoyance on her face. Martin nodded. "If there's something important going on, then I can wait." He stated. Irma nodded and kissed him on the cheek. Martin smiled and walked away. Irma sighed as she went back to the phone. "Will, I'll get Matt. If Nerissa's back, then Shagon will be needed again." She explained. Will nodded and lifted up the Heart of Kandrakar. "Guardians, Unite!" she yelled. Musa then shot at the giant boom-box on the roof and the sound echoed to the rest of WITCH.
Soon, the WITCH girls found themselves transforming. Yan Lin looked to Mira and smiled. "This is always my favorite part!" she exclaimed. Irma ran over to Matt's house and leapt into the air. "Water!" she yelled. As soon as she was in Guardian Form, she flew up to Matt's window. Taranee twirled into the air and smiled. "Fire!" she exclaimed, landing on the ground with a smile on her face. In Paris, Cornelia twirled into the air and spread her arms out in front of her, both hands pointing to her right. "Earth!" she called out. Caleb looked to her and nodded. "Let's go!" he said. Cornelia nodded as she carried him and flew off. Hay Lin then levitated into the air and twirled around with her hands in the sky. "Air!" she exclaimed. Will laughed as she came next. She spread her arms out and smiled. "Quintessence!" she exclaimed. Now, all of the Guardians were assembled. "All we have to do now is wait for my friends." The Keeper of the Heart said to the Winx Club.
At Matt's house, Matt was playing with his pet, Mister Huggles. "I do miss Will." He stated to himself. Just then, Irma flew by, causing a gust of wind to blow into the house. Matt gasped and turned to see the Guardian of Water. "Irma, what's the problem?" he asked. Irma looked to him and rolled her eyes. "Will says that Nerissa is back, and we'll need all the help we can get!" she exclaimed. Matt nodded and jumped out the window. "I'll get some more reinforcements. You go to Will." He ordered. Irma nodded and started to fly off to where Will was. "Gardenia, here I come!" she exclaimed.
Meanwhile, in Meridian, Nerissa bowed down to the Trix. "Icy, Darcy and Stormy, I now abandon my ties to the Guardians and pledge myself to you as a witch." She stated. Icy smiled and knelt down to Nerissa to help her up to her feet. "I'm happy to hear that, Nerissa, but the fifth witch is still yet to be found." Ice remarked. Darcy and Stormy walked up to her with confusion written all over their faces. "What's going on?" Darcy asked. Icy smirked and chuckled. "Since past plots to get the Heart of Kandrakar have failed, there is still a way to get it with our combined strength." She replied. Stormy raised an eyebrow and furrowed her brow, still in much confusion. "How is Will going to come to us?" she asked. Icy laughed and turned to her sister. "There's always a way to get a heart while it's still beating." She gorily quipped. The three witches started to smile as they continued to listen in on what Icy's new plan was.
In Gardenia, everyone looked up to see Irma flying through the air. Where could she be? Irma thought to herself. She then looked down to the people and closed her eyes. There's nothing to see, nothing to see! She telepathically commanded. At that moment, the people of Gardenia stopped looking up and continued to move on with their lives. Irma sighed as she soon sensed where Will was. She smiled as she then continued to fly.
Meanwhile, at Love and Pets, Bloom was contacting Headmistress Faragonda through the crystal ball. "If we can get the Specialists here, then there might be a chance of taking down Nerissa once and for all." She explained. Faragonda smiled and nodded. "I'll let Saladin know right away, and alert King Erendor that his son is needed once again." The Headmistress stated. With that, she fizzed away. Will continued to walk around as she took notice of Bloom's pendant. "What's that?" she asked curiously. Bloom looked up and chuckled. "My boyfriend and fiancé, Sky, gave this to me as a token of love." Bloom explained. Will smiled as she thought back to her first love as well.
All of a sudden, Irma ran into the room. Will and Bloom nearly jumped from a sudden heart attack as they saw the Guardian of Water burst in. "Will, it's been too long! I'm here, so let's take down Nerissa!" Irma exclaimed enthusiastically. Will sighed and walked to Irma to give her a hug. "Yeah, it's great to see you too, Irma." She exclaimed calmly. Irma chuckled and sighed. "You're just as kind as ever than I remembered." Irma remarked. Flora looked over to the brunette and chuckled. "Wow, Will, you're pretty amazing!" she exclaimed. Tecna looked to Will with a smile and chuckled as well. "You must be a pretty big shot." She stated.
Irma released her grip and looked around to the Fairies. "Who are these? Are they working for Nerissa?" Irma asked as she aimed a finger at the Winx. Will chuckled and placed her arms down. "It's alright, Irma, this is Bloom, Flora, Musa, Stella, Tecna, Aisha and Roxy. They're Winx Fairies, and they're on our side." Will explained. Irma looked around and scoffed. "The last time there were other flying females around, we were nearly killed!" Irma exclaimed. Aisha tensed up as Irma looked at the Fairies even closer. "What kind of a joke is this anyways?!" she asked. Musa stepped up and scowled at Irma. "What kind of a joke are you?! Do you even have any powers?!" she asked skeptically. Irma chuckled and looked down to the Music Fairy. "Watch and learn, Pigtails." She quipped. The Winx watched as Irma directed her fingers at a cup of water. In an instant, the water was levitated into the air and onto a plant. She then looked to Stella and twirled her finger. Stella looked down as her yellow dress turned to pink. Stella looked back to Irma and scoffed as she reverted the colors of her clothing. "If you think for a single moment that I won't take my eyes off of you–" Irma started out, but Aisha cut in and separated the two. "Stop fighting!" she yelled. Irma grunted as she and Stella continued to look each other in the eyes. Will turned away and held back some laughter of the arguing fashionistas. Before she could release the laughter, the Heart of Kandrakar glowed and Will picked it up from the table. She looked into it and gasped. "We've got trouble!" she exclaimed to the rest of the group.
At the baseball stadium nearby, the Trix's Army of Darkness started to attack the innocents of Gardenia along with Miranda and the Tracker. Before the army could give chase, a blast of water was shot at them. Frost the Hunter looked to the side to see Will and Irma arrive in Guardian Form. "That's far enough, Frost!" Will exclaimed. The Hunter just scoffed as his scowl turned into a grin. "It's about time you got here!" he yelled. More monsters from the Army of Darkness appeared as Frost pointed his sword at the Guardians. "Get them!" he yelled. Irma looked in bewilderment as she lowered her hands. "What are they?!" she asked. Will charged up her hands and stood ready to fight. "It doesn't matter, so let's go!" she commanded. Irma smiled and nodded. "This is just like old times!" she yelled.
The Winx Club soon arrived and gasped to see who was attacking. "Wasn't the Army of Darkness already destroyed?" Flora asked. Bloom shrugged and readied her fire. "For now, let's go!" she yelled. The rest of the Fairies nodded and went to help the Guardians until Frost got in the way. "Your opponent is me!" he yelled. Stella unsheathed her Scepter of Solaria and scoffed. "Whatever you are, you need some manners!" she snippily quipped. Aisha nodded and held her hand out to the side. "Morphix Staff!" she yelled. At that moment, a purple staff appeared in Aisha's hands as both of them charged at the hunter. Frost got off of his beast and clashed with the two fairies as Flora and Roxy stood by to attack. "Magix Convergence Overload!" the two yelled. Tecna and Musa got together and nodded. "Sirenix Convergence Overload!" they both yelled. Irma looked back and gasped. "What is that?!" she demanded. Will looked back after blasting one monster away. "They're the Fairies' spells. It's somewhere on the same level of our powers from the Aurameres." Will explained.
Stella and Aisha got back as Stella ran next to Bloom. "Sirenix Convergence Overload!" the two girls yelled. At that moment, all of their spells hit Frost. Frost just laughed and used the amulet to absorb the attack. "Back at you multiplied!" he quipped, sending the attack back at the Winx. Bloom attempted to make a shield, but their spells were just too strong. "Looks like our spells won't work on him as long as he wields that stone." Bloom stated as she got up. Will looked to her and sighed as she blasted an enemy from behind her. "Our elemental powers probably won't work either." She stated.
"Well in that case, it's time to kick it into flames!" Taranee's voice said. Irma and Will looked to see Taranee come out from another side of the arena while shooting down the monsters. "Sorry I'm late, Will!" she apologized. Will looked to Taranee and smiled. "It's so great to see you again!" she exclaimed. Irma flew up to her and patted her on the shoulder. "Next time, please don't be late." She quipped. Will smiled at the two and looked to the Knights of Vengeance. "Guardians, Attack!" she ordered. The two girls nodded and charged in. Just then, the two were hit in the back by ice and storm attacks. Will gasped and turned around.
As she turned around, she saw a figure in Guardian garments holding out her hand in front of her. Will gritted her teeth and growled. "Nerissa!" she exclaimed. The Winx got up and looked to see the woman lower her hand. "No, it can't be." Bloom exclaimed. Soon, the hand was lowered and it was indeed Nerissa. The girls gasped even more to see that she had some sort of Dark Sirenix form! "The Trix!" Aisha called out. Nerissa cackled as she looked to the ten girls. "I've been waiting for this day, Winx. Now, I am a witch, like my sisters before me!" Nerissa yelled out in the voices of the Trix. Bloom got up and shook her head in disagreement. "You're just a fraud!" she exclaimed. Nerissa and the Trix laughed even more as they landed on the ground and in front of Will. "Keeper of the Heart, you're mine!" the witches called out. Will growled and charged up her hands. "Quintessence!" she yelled. The Trix suddenly separated from Nerissa and grew stern looks on their faces. "Trix Convergence!" they yelled. Will slid back as their blasts collided. After a moment of panting, she jumped into the air and charged up once again. "Quintessence!" she exclaimed. Nerissa just stood there while Will blasted at them.
As Irma and Taranee tried to get up, the monsters of the Army of Darkness held them both back. "Will, stop!" Taranee called. Will panted heavily as she soon landed and punched Nerissa in the chest with quintessence. Nerissa groaned in pain as Will started to charge up even more. To her surprise, Nerissa looked down to her with a smirk. "One year and you haven't changed at all, Will!" she exclaimed. Will gasped as the Trix levitated above her and held out their Trix Crystals. Soon, Will's body was covered with ice as Icy removed her Heart of Kandrakar. "We'll be taking your leader, WITCH and Winx!" Icy proclaimed. Irma panted heavily and broke loose from the grasp. "Will!" she yelled. Will looked back to her with a frown of nervousness as they disappeared within a cloud of dark mist. Irma panted as the Knights of Vengeance and the Army of Darkness disappeared as well. "Will! WILLLLLL!" Irma called out. The Trix had taken away their leader!
