Fourth chapter. Dang it, these things are short. Oh, and I have no idea how Tecna's parents act or sound. I stopped watching Winx Club after Season Four.


Musa was watching Riven as the cherry-haired Specialist glared at his screen. He was bored - he made it very obvious with his body language. Musa shook her head, she decided on going to the front to see what Tecna was doing. When she neared the two pilots, she heard Timmy curse and slam his fists onto the board.

"We can't land," she heard him say quite plainly. Musa walked up to them, as Tecna responded to his statement. "Why not? What's the matter?"

"A prevention barrier of some kind. I can't contact anyone on the planet to lower it so we can get safe passage."

Musa frowned. At this rate, they might lose Bloom before they even found her. "Then find a way to get to them," she stated quite bluntly. "I'm sure Tecna can do it."

Tecna had jumped physically at the sudden sound of her voice, but after a while, she frowned and nodded. She moved over to Timmy's control panel and started to type away, her fingers dancing across the buttons like the wind. After a while, she finally hit the last key in the sequence and stood back, her short hair turning almost bluish in the light of the screen.

Musa stood there, waiting anxiously. Whether they found Bloom or not depended on this working. She couldn't have this fail. She needed to have Bloom safe, before the rest of the team fell apart without her. Come on, Musa urged. I need to find my friend. She chewed on her lower lip, fidgeting with the hem of her top. Her long pigtails draped over her shoulder as she leant in closer, hoping the response would come quicker. Luckily for her, it did.

The screen lit up, glowing a pale green-grey, and then projecting the image of a couple in their mid to late thirties onto the screen. The woman had pale blue hair, the man had purple. Both were dressed in some sort of high-tech futuristic wear, which Musa suspected was the normal attire for the people of Zenith. The man finally steepled his fingers together and leant in to the screen. "Tecna, dear," he spoke, his voice deep and gravelly. "What's the matter? Did something happen at Alfea?"

The woman stopped him from going on, and pulled him back. "So sorry, children," she spoke, light and airy. "My husband can be that way sometimes. I'm Magnethia, and this is my husband, Electronio. As you can guess, we're Tecna's parents. What brings you back to Zenith, Tecna, and who are your friends?"

Tecna frowned at this.

Musa guessed the technology fairy probably didn't count on having to tell her parents why she was here.

"I'm on a mission, mum," the pink-haired fairy quickly stated. "This is Musa, and that's Timmy. I need to use the te-"

"Hold on, dear," Electronio interrupted. "This 'Timmy' is the one you've been telling us about, yes?"

Timmy's face burned red.

"Well, yes, dad, but I don't have the time for this right now. I need to use the technology here to-"

Electronio cut into Tecna's sentence once again, booming, "What do you mean you don't have the time?"

Magnethia frowned at her husband, putting her hand on his arm. "I think Tecna needs to tell us something, dear. Let her speak." She turned back to the three, her green eyes serious. "Yes Tecna, tell us what you need."

Tecna sighed, and Musa spared her a raised brow. 'Hurry up and tell her,' Musa mouthed at the technologically-brilliant fairy. 'Come on!'

"We need the tech here to look for a missing friend of mine. She's trapped in the Omega Dimension!" Tecna finally blurted out. Her parents looked taken aback, but they didn't speak for a while.

"The Omega Dimension? Tecna, sweetie," began Tecna's mother, her brow furrowed. "Why is your friend there in the first place?"

Musa scowled at the unspoken accusation, and her dark eyes narrowed. She leant forward, the screens around her playing blue light onto her skin. Pressing her hands into the edge of the control panel, her hair fell around her face. "Look lady," she snapped, her eyes burning with rage. "Don't you dare call Bloom a criminal. She saved the entire Magix realm, which included your sorry behind, and you'd better appreciate it. Now let us through, so we can save her!"

Both Tecna and Timmy were staring at her little outburst, and Magnethia ad Electronio on the other side were looking at her in surprise. "Now, see here, young lady," the purple-haired man started. Fortunately for Musa, who had expected to receive quite the tongue-lashing by the elder man, his wife reached over and hushed him.

"Perhaps Musa is right." Turning back to look at Tecna, she said, "The code for affirmation is 07Alpha, pattern Omega, type Delta. We'll see you soon, Tecna." With that sentiment, the screen went blank.

Tecna sat back in her chair, though her eyes didn't leave Musa. "That was... impressive," the fairy said slowly. "No one has managed to intimidate my mother like that since my father told her it was a great idea for me to be sent to Alfea." She then turned back to the control panel, bathed in blue light again. "Anyway, we got the affirmation code. It'll just take a while, but..." Tecna reached to the control panel and typed in the code given by her parents, her fingers flying across the buttons. "And there!"

Sure enough, when Musa looked up at the screen that was located in front of Timmy's seat, she could see the white diagram around the sphere that represented Zenith open.

"Alright," Timmy said. "We can land now. Get the others back in their seats. We'll land in a minute."

Musa nodded. "Got it." As she headed back, a smile played across her lips, and she thought, I'm coming Bloom. Just hold on.


And we're done.
