A/N: Once again, sorry for not updating earlier guys. I had a bit of a writer's block with this chapter. But thanks for all of the lovely reviews!
Summary: The Trix are at it again. But this time it's serious. Deadly Serious. They've kidnapped one member of the Winx Club and plan to make the ultimate sacrifice to make them invincible: Her Life. BxS, SxB, FxH, MxR, TxT, LxN
Disclaimer: I don't own Winx Club
It was dark… so dark… where was she? What happened? Why did she feel like she was floating? Where was Helia? Where were her friends? Her family?
Those thoughts and many more were flying through Flora's mind as she searched for some sort of light in her dark surroundings. The Nature Fairy then spotted a bright light that seemed to be coming closer and closer towards her. Flora squinted slightly as the light became brighter, almost as bright as one of the two suns of Solaria.
"Flora…"
Instantly Flora whipped her head around trying to find the owner of the now familiar voice. "Where are you?" She whispered.
"I'm inside you Flora. I'm the voice of nature, the voice that you hear everytime when you're around trees. I'm the one who helped you bring the enchanted forest back to life after Baltor's fire destroyed it." The soothing voice continued and Flora relaxed a bit.
"But… why are you here now? I'm dead, why are you still with me?" She asked.
"No, you're not dead. You're the Fairy of Nature, if I wasn't still with you, then you would be dead. You're still alive Flora. The plants need you, your friends need you, and Helia needs you. And I need you to continue living. You're becoming the Guardian Fairy of Linphea, and all of nature. And you're strong, Flora. Stronger than you know."
"I'm still alive?" Flora questioned in disbelief.
"Yes, Flora. You're still alive."
"Morphix staff!" Layla summoned her staff as she flew towards Stormy, a determined look on her face as she clashed with the Storm witch. The Princess of Andros was fighting with pure anger. Flora was gone, and it was thanks to these witches who had tormented them ever since she had arrived at Alfea and her friends before that. Layla was sick and tired of the Trix and quite frankly, she wanted to destroy them.
She wanted to avenge Flora and make sure that the Trix never bothered them again. Noticing that Stormy was charging up for an attack, she nodded at her boyfriend/fiancé and Nabu responded by firing one of his own attacks at the Storm witch who turned around, barely affected by the blast.
"Oh look, it's the new guy." She said boredly. Stormy had never felt so powerful and confident. Sure, she had always been confident but now knowing that she was invincible and these stupid pixies couldn't harm her? Well, this was one of the greatest days of her life. Smiling evilly, she summoned a tornado that went directly towards the Andros couple.
Layla desperately pulled up her Morphix shield and Nabu summoned his protective shield, trying to protect the two as they battled the Storm Witch. Sparing a glance at Flora and Helia, Layla growled in determination as she tried to push the tornado back to Stormy with Nabu's help. It was all she could do for the moment.
"Together, Tec!" Musa yelled at her best friend who nodded. The two fairies clasped hands, combining their magic together.
"Tecno Waves!" The powerful sound waves combined with Tecna's technological magic was going to pack a punch. The attack flew towards Darcy who wasn't able to get out of the way and took the full force of the attack much to Riven and Musa's delight.
"Good job!" Riven smirked, lowering his sword a bit as he watched the smoke slowly disappear.
"But not good enough." Darcy's hypnotic voice came from the smoke and Riven's face changed to one of horror as the Lady of Darkness walked out of the smoke, barely scathed. "Don't you pathetic pixies get it? We're invincible thanks to your stupid nature loving friend who is dead." She smirked before looking at Riven and a thoughtful expression came across her face.
"SHUT UP!" Musa yelled shaking in anger because of the way Darcy spoke about Flora.
"And you're about to join her, Puppy Dog. Sphere of Oblivion!" With that, Darcy launched an attack towards Riven who could only stand there, unable to block this attack.
"RIVEN!" Musa flew as fast as she could towards him and stopped directly in front of him. "Sonic Shield!" Her musical shield came up, protecting herself and Riven. "Tecna! Timmy! Now!" She cried towards the specialist and his girlfriend. Timmy aimed his blaster at Darcy and fired and Tecna fired off her Electric Storm attack, guiding it to combine with the blast from Timmy, making it almost deadly.
"Nope." Darcy smirked and blocked it easily.
"How are we gonna do this?" Musa slumped her shoulders in exhaustion.
"We can do it Musa. Flora never gave up. Why should we?" Riven asked her, squeezing her shoulders comfortingly.
"Right." Musa nodded, taking strength from her boyfriend's grip. Straightening her shoulders, Musa focused on the Dark Witch in front of her. "Enchantix Amplifier!" The bright sound waves hit Darcy and she stumbled back a bit. Noticing this, Tecna took the time to strike, trying to catch Darcy off guard.
"Digital Blast!" The green beams of tecno energy flew towards Darcy before she realised it.
Yeah!" The two fairies cheered as they saw that Darcy looked a bit winded from their attacks.
"Guys! The only way to take them down is to attack separately, not together!" Musa called over towards the Princesses of Domino and Solaria, who were having trouble taking down the Ice Witch.
"Right!" Bloom nodded as she held up her shield to protect her and Sky from an Icicle Barrage. "Together, Sky!" She said to her boyfriend and he nodded.
"Ready when you are, Bloom!" Sky replied.
"Now!" Bloom let her shield down and flew high into the air and Sky brought up his phantom blade to deflect the spears of ice back towards Icy as his girlfriend started to glow with her Dragon Flame. "Dragon Fury!" She directed the spell towards Icy just as her enemy turned around.
Icy growled as she tried to protect herself as best as she could from the stupid Dragon Flame pixie. The Solarian was tiring thanks to the darkness and Icy knew that if she could get one hit in, the spoilt princess would be gone. But her boyfriend wasn't making it easy. He kept deflecting her attacks or yelling out warnings whenever she went to hit the stupid pixie.
"Stell, are you ok?" Brandon asked worriedly as Stella fluttered to the ground, looking pale and exhausted thanks to the lack of sun or moon.
"No." She shook her head weakly. "But I need to do this… LOOK OUT!" She screamed as Icy sent a freezing blizzard towards them. "Enchantix Moon Shield!" Stella summoned her shield to protect herself while Brandon put up his broadsword to help her deflect the blast.
Bloom noticed this and quickly sent some of her Dragon Flame to defrost the ice and to help out her best friend and her boyfriend. Brandon shot her a quick smile of thanks which turned to a look of concern when he saw Stella panting heavily.
"One more time." Stella whispered to herself, knowing that she didn't have much magic left in her. She was going to give it all she got, not caring about the consequences. These witches had taken Flora away from her and Stella wanted to give them a taste of their own medicine.
"Cupcake, what are you doing?" Brandon asked her as Stella stood up, pale yet determined.
"I'm gonna give these witches all I've got." Stella replied as she flew into the air and focused on Icy. Focusing her magic, Stella started to glow with light. She started to get brighter and brighter. So bright that Brandon shielded his eyes and Icy turned around to see what was happening. Everyone stopped what they were doing and watched the Solarian Princess in awe except two fairies.
"She isn't!" Musa gasped in horror.
"She'll use up all of her energy if she does this!" Tecna realised what was going on.
"SUN AND MOON POWER!" Stella let her magic go and the cave lit up in pure light. The Winx and the Specialists covered their eyes and the Trix cried out as they were blasted backwards from the sheer force of the spell. Once the cave darkened again, everyone looked up only to see Stella plummet to the ground, exhausted and she had detransformed back into her civilian clothes.
"STELLA!" Brandon cried out and caught her in his arms. "Stella." He said more softly and Stella's honey coloured eyes fluttered open weakly.
"Did I… do it Snookums?" She asked him, hanging on to him tightly, fighting her exhaustion.
"We're about to find out." Brandon replied grimly.
Helia cradled Flora in his arms, just staring at her. This couldn't have happened. She couldn't be gone. Lowering his head, the pacifist fought back his tears as he clutched Flora's lifeless body closer to him. Waiting, willing for her to open her beautiful green eyes. But she didn't. Her skin felt cold and everytime he tried to warm her up, nothing worked. Taking off his cape, Helia gently wrapped it around her only to notice a bright light shining above him.
Looking up, Helia saw Stella glowing so brightly as she let off her most powerful spell. So powerful, that it knocked the Trix back into the cave walls. Stella plummeted to the ground only to have Brandon catch her in his arms. But Helia wasn't looking at them. Instead, he was looking at his girlfriend.
"Please wake up," He whispered, brushing his lips against her hair. "I need you Flora. I need you to wake up so I can see those beautiful eyes of yours. Can you please do that for me? Come on Flora." He continued to talk to her, trying his hardest not to break down when her eyes did not open. She was so still. Her life was slowly fading away and there was nothing Helia could do. "P-please, Flora. I love you my flower, come back to me." A single tear ran down the pacifist's cheek, landing on Flora's face.
And then something amazing happened.
Flora opened her eyes.
