The Next Day…
Flora and Roxy were currently in Magix, in cloud tower territory, they were in one of the book stores, looking for a book that could undo what happened to Bloom, knowing that it would take extremely dark and powerful magic to do so.
While looking through the endless amount of books they were attracting some unwanted attention.
"What are you doing here?" asked a witch, her voice dripping with venom.
"Non of your business" Roxy replied, her voice filling with venom.
"Oh so the little pixie has an attitude, maybe we should teach her a lesson" said another witch as another five came into sight, bringing the number of witches to seven. The first one shot a dark orb of energy at Roxy, hitting her before she could react, causing her to go flying into the book case behind her. Flora then ran to her friends aid, another attack was fired, aiming at Flora this time. Flora's body was then coated with a thick black liquid, smoothing her out, except for her chest and behind, she then grew large white eyes and a mouth full of large, sharp white fangs, her body then became more muscular and grew a couple feet. The attack hit her and just dissipated, she then glared at the witches and soon realized she was no longer in control of her body, Bloom was.
"Go ahead try that again I dare ya" Bloom roared as she began to approach the witches who were now wide eyed with fear. Bloom then gripped the one that had shot at Flora and lifted her by the neck.
"W…W…What are you?" stuttered the terrified witch.
"I am a Symbiote and you shall not harm Flora, if you try to harm her again then you shall face my wrath" Bloom threatened her tongue curling in the air, the witch just nodded terrified, Bloom then dropped the witch and they all ran out terrified, Bloom's body then returned to it's original form and Flora regained control.
"Wow, was Bloom always like that?" Roxy then asked as she stumbled to her feet, her right palm pressed against her palm against her forehead.
"Not really, but after what Valtor did to her…well" Flora sighed.
"Oh…well there's nothing here that will help her" Roxy sighed.
"Yeah, well according to Faragonda barely anyone knows about the Symbiotes so I guess we should have known there wouldn't be anything here…though there might be something at cloud tower" Roxy suggested.
"I guess it's worth a try the question is how do we get into Cloud Tower?" Flora sighed, Flora's usual clothing then changed into that of a witches clothing, it was a dark green version of Icy's clothing with a blood red rose on her chest.
"What the?" Flora stated as she looked at her clothing.
"How did you…?" Roxy asked shocked.
"I didn't" Flora replied.
'But I did, behold one of the advantages of been bonded with a Symbiote, we are excellent shape shifters' Bloom telepathically whispered to Flora.
"It was Bloom" Flora whispered in utter shock.
"What? But how?" Roxy asked in utter disbelief.
"She said that Symbiotes are great shape shifters" Flora replied still stunned by her new look.
"Wow, well looks like with Bloom's help we can walk into Cloud Tower through the front door and no one will even look at us" Roxy stated.
"No, I'm bonded with Bloom so only I can shape-shift…I'll go in alone, you head back to Alfea, see what you can find on Symbiotes in the forbidden section, while I check out Cloud Tower" Flora replied, the two then headed in opposite directions.
Cloud Tower…
Flora was walking up to the doors, blending in with a crowd of witches, she then headed strait for the library, remembering where it was from their stay at Cloud Tower when Darkar was after the codex.
The Library…
Flora began searching the library, trying to find some form of access to the forbidden section. 'Hey Bloom any ideas where the entrance might be?' Flora telepathically asked Bloom.
'Yeah, I can sense incredible amounts of dark magic, I'll lead the way' Bloom replied before taking control of Flora's body and heading to the far wall before melting into a black liquid and sliding under it before reassembling herself and continuing down a secret hall way, lit by old torches fuelled by magic.
"What are you doing down here?" asked a voice Bloom recognised well.
"Ms. Griffin I didn't expect to see you down here" Bloom replied.
"Well it is my school…Flora is that you?" Griffin asked finally recognizing who it was she was talking too.
"Close Griffin, it is Flora's body but I'm the one who's talking to you" Bloom replied, loving the confusion on Ms. Griffin's face.
"Then who am I talking too?" asked the elder witch. Bloom just grinned.
"The one who made sure you and your witches got to safety when the Trix rose the army of decay" Bloom responded.
Griffin went wide eyed once she processed the information "Bloom!"
"Yeah, Valtor brought me back as a Symbiote and I ended up bonding with Flora" Bloom explained as she changed Flora's clothes back to what they originally were.
"A Symbiote, well now I don't know if I should blast you since you're a Symbiote or offer you a place here, especially with your ability to summon up magic darker than any senior could conjure and with what you've become you'll be able conjure even darker spells, so I offer you a place at Cloud Tower, same for Flora, you're choice" Griffin offered, "But I must ask why are you here?" Griffin then asked.
Bloom then surrendered control to Flora once again, miss Griffin then noticed something about Bloom's eyes, they changed, yet they were the same.
"We came here to look for a cure for Bloom, we thought that the answer might be in the forbidden spell books of Cloud Tower" Flora explained.
"Flora is that you?" Griffin then asked.
"Yeah" Flora relied growing a kind smile.
"Interesting, anyway I can save you the trouble of looking, there is no spell here that can turn a Symbiote human and even if there was no witch could survive that amount of dark, negative energy yet alone a fairy, the darkness would just consume the one casting the spell within minutes and use that person as a power source." Ms. Griffin explained.
"Oh…so Bloom is stuck like this?" Flora asked, sadness filling her voice as she looked down toward the ground.
"I didn't say that" the old witch replied, Flora then looked up, her eyes filling with hope. "There are spells that could help Bloom, they will allow her to survive up to a certain amount of time without a host and will increase her shape shifting abilities" explained the elder witch.
"Could you teach us it?" Flora asked.
"No" Ms. Griffin replied, the hope in the nature fairy's eyes began to disappear again "But I can teach Bloom it, you wouldn't be able to survive the dark magic but Bloom will be able too" Ms. Griffin explained. Flora's eyes then changed again, yet they were the same.
"I'll consider it" Bloom said using her own voice this time, knowing that the catch of learning the necessary spells was that she'd have to enrol in Cloud Tower.
