Shadowhaunt…

The portal opened in the centre of what had been Darkar's thrown room, the dark wizard stepped out from the portal, it snapped shut behind him and he made his way to the throne before been seated upon it.

An agonized sigh escaped his lips. He could feel it, feel Bloom healing his wounds, closing the cuts and regenerating what had been severed as well as the blood he had lost.

'Oh those blasted faeries and amateur heroes…but still have to give them credit for going for a killing blow, too bad they didn't deliver it when they had the chance, but if it wasn't for them I wouldn't need Bloom and could of simply killed her to claim her power' Valtor mentally cursed.

"Let's see thanks to those girls all the magic I have collected is gone and I have drained my powers and have been injured to the point I am vulnerable and no doubt the Ancestrals will try again soon to take control of me…I need more magic the question is where can I find it and even when I do find it I will need minions to aid in collecting it" Valtor mused allowed.

He waved his hand and a sphere appeared before him and within showed the Trix, behind bars, collars around their necks preventing them from using their powers and any form of magic. Valtor's expression turned grave.

'I don't have the power to break them out of there…at least not until I have fully healed' he mused before letting the sphere dissolve. He snapped his fingers. The ground began to shake, boulders fell from the walls and began to combine together until four golems were formed, they approached Valtor before dropping to their knees and bowing their heads.

"Now that covers minions, for now anyway" Valtor muttered "Now go and guard all the entrances too this place, destroy anything that tries too enter this place" he roared, the golems nodded before rising back to their feet. They split up and started to head down the caverns, heading towards the entrances.

Valtor's Mind…

Within the vast landscape of darkness lay a young girl in a circle of light, the only spot of light, a pale light. Her fiery hair cascaded around her, highlighting her upper curves. Her clothing absent, her complexion pale, her eyes closed and her breathing weak.

'Where am I?...I feel like I know this place…or should know it…something's wrong…why do I feel so weak…so cold?' these questions echoed throughout her mind, encircling her. Her body rolled onto its side and curled up into a ball, attempting to protect herself from the cold and the darkness that surrounded her.

Alfea…

The Winx or what was left of them returned to Alfea and headed straight for Faragonda's office, Flora leading the charge, flames of rage and anger fuelling their eyes.

'Valtor I swear the next time we meet I will kill you' Flora inwardly swore, the thoughts of the rest of the Winx weren't too different from Flora's, all swearing to kill Valtor for what he had done, for taking their friend from them.

They approached the double doors that led to the headmistress' office, they didn't slow down, Flora slammed her palms against both doors, they swung open to their full extent, slamming against the walls. Faragonda's head bolted up in shock, her heart skipping a beat at the sudden and rather violent entrance to her office, her heart rate increased as she saw the fires burning in the Winx Club's eyes, they looked about ready to kill.

They approached the desk, Flora taking an extra step closer and slamming her palms on the desk, the desk and all the items upon it shook from the force of the shockwaves generated by the impact of her fists.

"Find Valtor" Flora snarled.

"What? What is the meaning of this and where's Bloom?" Faragonda asked, the fear in her voice unmistakable.

"She's gone, now you can find Valtor, find him!" Flora spat, her tone dripping with venom, shivers travelled down the spines of all those who heard it.

"Gone? What do you mean gone?" Faragonda questioned.

"She fought Valtor within his mind and he killed her" Techna answered, tears brewing in her eyes and her voice cracking once again.

"But during his fight with her the boys managed to severely injure his body but he escaped, but when you tell us where he is and we find him before he heals we can finish the job" Flora snarled, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Girls I can't find Valtor unless he makes a public appearance like he always does and until he does I can't help you find him and besides…I wouldn't tell you even if I knew his whereabouts with you acting like this, take time and grieve, Bloom wouldn't want you to avenge her by killing" Faragonda stated, burying her own emotions. Flora lifted her fist and slammed it on the desk once again.

"Fine, of you won't help us find him then we'll find him ourselves" Flora spat before turning her back to the elder woman and charging towards the door, the Winx parting out of her way and taking off after her. Flora violently swung open the doors once again and left the office, the Winx close behind her.

"So how do you plan to find him?" Stella asked, her own hands curling into fists.

"By having a word with the Trix, they worked for him, they know him, they'll know where we will be able to find him" Flora hissed.

"And what makes you think they'll tell us?" Musa questioned.

"Valtor left them resulting in their capture they'll want revenge and if that's not reason enough to help…we'll force them" Flora stated, the Winx stiffened at hearing this.

'Who knew Flora could be so…violent?' Layla mentally stated, her mental tone one of complete disbelief.

'What's gotten into you Flora, we're all…upset about Bloom but you're…you've done a three sixty in your personality what happened to the Flora who wouldn't hurt a fly?' Musa inwardly questioned, her gave moving up and down the nature fairy, analyzing her.

'Bloom was the first friend I ever made, the first person outside of my family to show me kindness without having been paid to do so, the first not to be intimidated by my title…and Valtor took her from me and for that…I'll kill him' Flora mentally spat, her fists curling inwardly, the flesh of her fists turning pale and her nails digging into the flesh of her delicate palm like claws.

The group made their way to the Courtyard so to be sure that none of the passing students would be caught in the teleportation spell, they didn't stop until they were at the centre of the grassy field. Flora turned to face the sun fairy.

"Stella, since teleportation seems to be your specialty take us to where the Trix are" Flora said with a commanding authority the others had never seen before this day even after having known the nature fairy for three years, two years in Layla's case.

"Okay" Stella stammered, she called her sceptre to her so as to increase the power of the spell and make it more accurate, she twiddled it between her fingers, the circular end began to glow brightly, her body was soon engulfed in a glow of its own. Once it faded she stood in her enchantix form.

"Teleportus" Stella declared, the group were engulfed in a bright light. The light soon collapsed in on itself and once it had the girls were no longer there.

Prisoner Transportation Ship…

In the rear holding facility of the ship were many cells but only one was filled, with three certain witches, Stormy and Darcy sat on a bench at the far left wall while Icy leant against the right.

"I can't believe we actually liked that guy" Darcy muttered, disgusted by the memory of the sight of the dark wizards beastial form.

"Yeah no kidding" Stormy spat.

"He'll pay" Icy muttered, the duo turned to face their silver haired sister.

"How, we're stuck in here, powerless and on our way back to the Omega Dimension?" Stormy questioned.

"That doesn't mean we're going to take this lying down, Darkar betrayed us and the day he did he perished and we stopped him from completing the ritual to its full extent through our arrival and this time we'll make sure that Valtor pays the price for leaving us high and dry, he isn't coming back to us, we helped brake him out of that frozen wasteland and this is how he repays us…mark my words sister he will pay when we get out of here" Icy spat as she fingered her collar.

A bright light appeared between the trio, the Trix stiffened and instantly stood to attention when the light faded to reveal the Winx Club though lacking a certain member.

"What do you want pixies and where is Bloom?" Icy sneered.

"Dead, Valtor killed her, which brings us to the reason we're here, you're going to tell us where we can find him" Flora spat, taking a step towards the ice witch.

"He killed her?" Icy gasped, her voice but a whisper, her body filled out with rage, she was supposed to be the one to kill Bloom "That bastard that honour was to be mine" she spat.

Flora's arm shot out, her grip encasing what was exposed of Icy's neck, slamming her against the wall and making eye contact, the silver haired witch let out a small but sharp gasp at seeing the killer intent that lay within them.

"Say that again and you'll be joining Valtor in his fate…like you could kill her" Flora stated, her voice dripping with venom at the start but near the end turned into a sneer of mockery.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Icy spat.

"You always say you have what it takes to be a killer and have threatened to kill but I just don't see killer in your eyes, so explain this to me Icy you've had hundreds of opportunities to kill us and Bloom, even outside of battles you know where we live, where we sleep, not too hard to get into our dorm and slit our throats as we sleep yet you never did" Flora stated.

Icy fell silent and averted her gaze from that of the nature fairy.

"You're not a killer, now tell me where is Valtor" Flora roared.

"We don't know" Icy admitted through gritted teeth.

"But you know him, use this knowledge to predict his location" Flora spat.

"You can't predict Valtor, besides what's in it for us if we do help you?" Icy asked.

"I won't kill you" Flora spat.

"Not enough, how about a deal, you get us out of here and we'll help you locate Valtor and take him out once and for all" Icy proposed.

"You said you couldn't predict where he would be" Stella said.

"And that's true we can't predict his location but we can…once these collars are removed, sense him when he uses his powers, if he casts a single spell we'll be able to follow his mark to him, the mark he branded us with will allow us to find him" Icy replied.

"Deal, name your terms" Flora stated.

"Break us out of here, remove these collars, provide us with some of your dust so as to remove the mark so that we can fight Valtor once he is located and once the job is finished you let us go and we let you go, no fight no nothing" Icy stated.

"Fine" Flora muttered, she raised her hands on was engulfed by a bright light, it faded to reveal her in her enchantix form. She flexed her fingers, conjuring two emerald orbs of light bringing one to face Icy, placing it on the collar, it combusted, slamming Icy against the wall with more force, she fell to her knees, gasping out in pain. Flora turned to face the remainder of the Trix, conjuring another orb to replace the one she used on Icy before repeating the action with them.

The duo, were blasted against the wall before too falling to their knees, gasping in pain.

"Flora how could you release them?" Techna cried.

"They can lead us to Valtor when he uses a single spell and it will make it easier to defeat him, if we face him alone the odds would be against us but here the playing field if more even" Flora explained as she conjured three small pouches and placing some of her dust into them before giving one to each witch.

"But we can't trust them" Musa interjected.

"If they try anything they'll share that bastards fate, I'll see to that personally" Flora stated, her tone cold and unfeeling, sending shivers down the spines of both the Trix and the remainder of the Winx.

The Trix rose back to their feet, brushing off their clothing and placing the dust in a pocket dimension where it would be safe.

"Don't worry about our treachery we have a bone to pick with Valtor…oh and Flora we may appreciate been freed but if you do that again and you'll join Bloom" Icy sneered.

"Try it and you'll join Valtor, we only need one of you, so you're expendable and I don't care if you help us willingly or by force" Flora spat before turning to Stella, feeling some form of gratification of seeing the horrified and fearful expression the ice witch wore.

"Take us back to our dorm" Flora stated, Stella only nodded before teleporting them back to the Alfea.
