Chapter 6
A few minutes after hanging the phone up everyone could see a Red Fountain ship not far in the distance. After the ship landed the back of the ship opened up and a young African American man with braided brown hair that reached his knees slowly walked out of the ship. He was wearing a purple jacket with the arms rolled up to his elbows, the jacket had yellow buttons and a yellow strip going down the arms and a yellow stripe down the chest of the jacket. He was also wearing a pair of purple jeans and a pair of yellow shoes. Around his waist was a red sash. He looked around at everyone with his silver eyes and smiled.
"Nabu!" Layla yelled as she ran up and hugged the man.
After a few moments Layla let go of her hug and turned to look back at Lacus.
"Lacus I'd like you to meet Nabu." Layla said with a smile on her face.
"Hello Nabu my name is Lacus Clyne." Lacus said.
Nabu smiled at Lacus before giving her a courteous bow. Before he could say anything a little green bird flew up and landed on Lacus's left shoulder and began to hop around.
"Birdy." Torii said as it looked around.
"Well who is this?" Nabu asked.
"Its name is Torii." Lacus said.
"There it is." A voice yelled out from behind Lacus.
The girls turned to see Digit flying toward them. A few seconds later the other pixies were seen flying behind Digit. Chatta and Tune carried Piff who was sleeping over to Layla before turning to see Tecna shaking her head at Digit.
"What were you doing this time Digit?" Tecna asked with a firm voice.
"I'm sorry Tecna I still want to examine Torii." Digit said sadly.
"I am disappointed in you." Tecna said.
"Um girls we need to get going." Timmy yelled from inside the ship.
"Where are you girls going?" Lockette asked.
"Kira woke up and we are going to Red Fountain to visit him." Bloom said.
"Can we come?" Amore asked.
"If your coming get on now." Timmy yelled again.
Everyone climbed onto the ship and the pixies landed near their bonded fairy. Timmy looked back to see that everyone was in their seats before he lifted the ship off of the ground and turned it to head toward the school for specialists. After a few minutes the school came into view and Timmy guided the ship to the hangers of the school and landed the ship.
After Timmy had opened the ship Lacus was the first one off and running for the exit of the hanger to the school. She was leaving the door to the hanger as Bloom and the others exited the ship. Bloom and the others rushed over to the door and went out into the hallway. The looked both directions but could not see Lacus.
"Where did she go?" Stella asked.
"I don't know but let's split up to find her." Layla said.
After agreeing to meet at the infirmary and nodding their heads Bloom, Flora, Tecna and Timmy went one direction while Musa, Layla, Stella and Nabu went the other direction each pixie went with their bonded fairy. As Bloom turned around the corner at the end of one of the hallways she moved to the side of the hall to let two specialists go by.
"That girl with the mechanical bird on her shoulder was really cute." One of the specialists said.
"Yeah it's too bad that she did not notice either of us." The other specialist said.
"Um which way did she go?" Bloom asked as the others turned around the corner that she had just come around.
"She looked a little lost but was heading toward the training hall." The first specialist said.
Bloom and the others took off running toward the training hall.
"Thanks." Timmy yelled back as he chased after the others.
As everyone neared the training room they could hear yelling coming from inside.
"I don't care what you said miss, but women are not allowed in the training room of Red Fountain." A voice yelled.
"I'm just trying to find Kira if you can tell me where he is I will leave you alone." Lacus's voice could be heard saying from the other side of the door.
"No you must come with me to the Headmasters office for coming into the training room miss." The other voice said.
Timmy reached for the door handle and opened it slowly to reveal who Lacus was talking to. The very muscular man standing in front of her had a slightly tanned skin tone with dark brown hair slicked back to reveal his bushy eyebrows; he also had a dark brown goatee that attached along his jaw line to his mustache and sideburns. He was wearing a blue sleeveless shit which zips up the front; a darker blue belt was around the top of his khaki colored pants, on his feet where a pair of blue boots and a pair of silver gauntlets were around both of his wrists.
"I'm sorry Codatorta." Timmy said having the man turn his face toward him, "I was sent to bring Lacus and the others to meet our guest in the infirmary."
"That still does not excuse her from coming into the training room." Codatorta said as he looked at the young specialist in front of him.
"I'm sorry if I broke a rule but I need to find Kira." Lacus said as she started to walk toward the exit of the room.
"Where do you think your going?" Codatorta asked.
"Like I said I am going to find Kira and there is nothing you can do to stop me." Lacus said with a determined voice as she turned to look at Codatorta.
"Fine but after you talk with the young man in the infirmary I want you to come to the Headmasters office." Codatorta said before turning to look at Timmy, "Timmy you are not allowed to let her out of your sight."
"Okay sir." Timmy said before he joined Lacus and the others outside the training room.
After walking through hallways everyone reached the door to the infirmary and saw that the others were waiting for them to arrive.
"So where did you find Lacus?" Musa asked.
"We found her in the training room." Timmy said as he turned to look at Lacus, "Don't worry Lacus, Codatorta may have sounded like you were going to be in a lot of trouble but you won't."
"Why would you say that?" Lacus asked, "He did seem mad at me."
"Codatorta is the head of discipline here at Red Fountain." Nabu said.
"The way that he disciplines students is to have them train and that is the room that he takes them too, that's why the students call it the training room." Timmy said as he looked at Lacus, "About him sounding mad at you that is how he talks to all of the specialists."
"Let's go meet this mystery man." Stella said.
As everyone entered the infirmary the eyes of the people inside turned to look at the people entering. When Lacus noticed a pair of purple eyes looking over at her she could not help but smile as she made her way over next to the bed. The young man had bandages around his chest.
"Birdy." Torii said as it flew over and landed on Kira's outstretched left arm.
"I'm sorry Lacus." Kira said as tears began to flow from his eyes.
"Sorry for what?" Lacus asked.
"I couldn't save your Haro." Kira said.
"I'll miss Mr. Pink but I don't know what I would do if I had lost you." Lacus said as she hugged Kira.
The hug that Lacus gave to Kira caused him to wince in pain.
"Careful now." A voice from behind Lacus said.
Everyone turned to see the Red Fountain doctor sitting in a chair near his desk.
"He has a few cracked ribs." The doctor said, "I used my magic to close up the wounds that he had when he arrived. But from the information that I have been given I was surprised with how few injuries he had from the condition of the machine that he was in."
"Is he able to leave the Infirmary?" Sky asked.
"I don't see why not." The doctor said.
"Headmaster Saladin wanted us to bring everyone to his office when he was able to leave." Sky said.
After Kira got out of the medical bed everyone could see that his clothing was severely torn up. His black shirt had tears in both arms and was missing the right sleeve; his pants had a tear going down the length of the left leg, and tears all across the right leg.
"Before we head up to see my uncle I think Kira needs something better to were." Helia said, "I think that I might have something for him since we are about the same size."
The group made their way to the boy's dorm room and waited while Kira and Helia walked inside. After a few minutes Helia exited and they waited for Kira. A few moments later Kira exited wearing a black jacket with a red inner collar over a red shirt and a pair of black pants with two red stripes at the bottom of the legs, on his feet were a pair of white shoes.
"I didn't know that you had something like that Helia." Flora said.
"I haven't worn it for a while." Helia said.
"Okay let's get going Headmaster Saladin is waiting for us." Sky said.
"Do you have any idea what he wants to see us for?" Brandon asked as everyone was walking down the hall toward the Headmaster's office.
"Will find out when we get there." Sky said.
After arriving at the large yellow doors Helia knock on them. They could hear the voice of Headmaster Saladin tell them to enter the office. When they entered the office they could see they could see Headmaster Saladin sitting at his silver desk in front of a large bookcase. The older man behind the desk smiled at everyone as they entered the room.
"I am happy to finally meet our young guest." Saladin said as he looked at Kira.
Kira smiled at Headmaster Saladin before the older man turned to look at Lacus. When his vision reached her the eyebrows on his face scowled slightly as he moved his hands in front of his face.
"I also heard that you broke one of the rules here at Red Fountain." Saladin said.
"I am sorry that I broke a rule." Lacus said as she looked down toward the top of Headmaster Saladin's desk, "I will never do it again." Lacus lifted her eye sight to see a smile on the older man's face.
"Don't worry about it." Saladin said, "I am sure that Timmy told you that he uses that room to discipline the students in by training them, it was just that he told me that when you walked into the room the students that he was working with started to slack off when the saw you."
"Now, onto what I wanted to see you about." Saladin said as his smile faded from his face, "Would you tell me how you arrived in our universe?"
"It happened after the end of the war that I told you girls about." Lacus said.
"What war?" Saladin asked.
"It was a war between the Earth Alliances and ZAFT from what Lacus told us." Stella said.
"What happened if you want to tell us?" Saladin asked.
"It started in the year Cosmic Era 68." Kira began, "The PLANTs began to strengthen their independence with the use of Mobile Suits that they had developed."
"You have used the terms PLANTs and ZAFT what do they mean?" Brandon asked.
"PLANTs stand for Productive Location Ally on Nexus Technology and are the space colonies that most Coordinators live on." Lacus said, "Each PLANT cluster have different names, ZAFT is the governing body of PLANTs and stands for Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty."
"Thank you for clearing that up, you may continue." Saladin said.
"With the use of Mobile Suits PLANTs became there own independent nations." Kira said, "The United Nations senior leadership was killed in a bombing at Copernicus city a city on the moon of Earth. After that the Earth Alliance was formed and declared war on the PLANTs on February 11, Cosmic Era 70 three days before the Bloody Valentine Incident."
"What was this Bloody Valentine Incident?" Helia asked.
"It was the destruction of Junius Seven one of the agricultural colonies." Lacus said.
"You told us about that before it was destroyed by nuclear warheads." Layla said, "How bad was it?"
"Two hundred forty three thousand seven hundred twenty one innocent civilians were killed in that one attack." Lacus said as she looked down at the ground.
Everyone in the room had shocked faces when Lacus announced how bad the attack had been.
"That was what escalated the hostilities into a full blown war." Kira said.
The room was silent for a few minutes before Kira began to speak again.
"After the war ended on September 27, Cosmic Era 71." Kira said.
"After the war was over Kira was piloting the mobile suit that we arrived in to Reverend Malchio's orphanage in the Marshall Islands." Lacus said, "But on our way there something opened up and pulled us in and everything went black."
"When our vision returned we were flying over a forest and could see a pink building off in the distance through an opening that should not have been in the chest of the Freedom." Kira said, "Lacus fell out of the opening and Torii flew after her. As explosions started to occur around me I piloted the Freedom away from Lacus and shut the reactor off before the suit exploded."
"Did you just say reactor as in?" Bloom asked.
"Yes the Freedom was powered by a nuclear reactor." Kira said as he looked over at Bloom, "By the way how is the Freedom?"
"It's destroyed." Timmy said.
"Good I never wanted to pilot mobile suits to begin with." Kira said, "I had to pilot it to protect my friends."
"Thank you for telling me all of this." Saladin said as he moved his hands back in front of his face, "You are all dismissed."
"Thank you Headmaster." Sky said.
After walking out of the office they went outside of the school into one of the small park areas around the school.
"So what are you guys going to do now?" Layla asked.
"I'm not sure." Brandon said.
"How about we take Kira and Lacus to see the city of Magix?" Stella commented.
"What you want to go shopping after hearing that story?" Musa asked with a surprised tone in her voice.
"No I thought that we could go get something to eat." Stella said.
"I think that might be a good idea." Tecna said.
"Wait here I'll go get a ship." Timmy said.
After a few minutes Timmy returned with the ship and everyone climbed aboard. After taking their seats, Timmy and Helia guided the ship toward the city in the distance. A few minutes later the ship had landed and everyone had exited the ship. Stella guided everyone to the pizzeria nearby and ordered a few pizzas.
After eating the pizzas the group walked outside the shop and began to walk back toward the ship. Before reaching the ship Kira and Lacus's visions turned away from the ship.
"Is everything ok you two?" Flora asked.
Without answering both Kira and Lacus took off running in the direction that they were looking. They turned the corner at the end of a street and when the group arrived they turned to see that Kira and Lacus had vanished.
"Those two can seriously run fast." Stella said.
"We need to find them." Bloom said, "Let's split up."
Before they could agree who would go with who an explosion in the distance caught their attention. Everyone began to run in the direction of the explosion.
"Kira be careful." Everyone could hear Lacus yelling.
"Girls." Bloom said.
The others nodded their heads.
"Winx Enchantix!" The girls yelled out together.
After the light faded the girls were in their Enchantix forms.
Blooms was wearing a multi layered frilly dress that was turquoise on the top light blue in the middle and had a blue skirt the dress was held up with pink straps over her shoulders, her wings were ample in size and were colored yellow and pink with a light alice blue outlining and were speckled with dark blue gems.

As the girls floated above the boys withdrew their phantoblades and everyone proceeded around the corner.
As everyone turned the corner they saw Kira holding a pipe with a woman wearing a pink jump standing on the pipe. She had red hair that was tied up into a ponytail and was wearing a white mask with strips of red from the eyes that looked like tears of blood. They could also see her light blue-gray eyes looking through the eye holes.
The woman looked around at everyone and giggled before she jumped off of the pipe. Riven swung his phantoblade at the woman but she ducked under the blade and shot off a blast of black energy at Riven.
"Wall of Sound." Musa yelled out blocking the attack.
The woman looked up and noticed the winx girls floating above getting ready to attack her. She jumped up and over the combined attack landing not far away. With one last glance at everyone she disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.
"You okay Kira?" Sky asked as he deactivated his phantoblade.
"Yeah I should be." Kira said as he turned to look at Lacus.
"What happened to you and Lacus?" Brandon asked.
"We both had a feeling that someone was calling us." Lacus said, "When we got here we arrived just as that woman was attacking this person." Lacus lifted a person wearing a white cloak.
When she was lifted high enough the cloak fell off of her head to reveal that she was a young woman with powder purple hair that reached the middle of her back tied up into a pair of ponytails.
Tecna floated over and landed near Lacus and the unknown young woman. She bent down to examine the young woman, after a few seconds she turned to look at the others.
"We need to get her to Alfea." Tecna said.
