Chapter 10

Bloom and Baltor teleported to Alfea. They were right outside the main gate. The barrier was active.

"Well either they are expecting us or they're just paranoid now. Either way this is going to be difficult to get past." Baltor stated.

"Baltor, you of all people should know by now that my power is limitless! Give me the box!" Bloom yelled, slightly aggravated. Baltor handed her the box and she walked up to the barrier. She placed her hand on the barrier. She started to glow a bright orange, and after a few moments the barrier was completely obliterated.

"Now Baltor, don't kill many of them while I'm gone. They may end as useful allies." As Bloom said that she teleported away.

Faragonda, the Winx, and the Specialists were in her office.

"Girls I still don't know if it were a good idea to let her go with the box." Faragonda said in a quiet but stern tone.

"We know Ms. Faragonda, but I think she was telling us the truth." Stella said.

"I know you all want to believe that Bloom is on our side, but we just do not know. Until she has defeated Baltor and actually comes back to us we can't take anymore chances by just her word." Faragonda said with a slight hint of sadness.

Sky was looking out the window when he saw the barrier fall. "Oh no! They're attacking Alfea! The barrier is down!" With that they ran to the quad.

Oritel and Mariam were in his study talking. "Oritel I hope this whole situation is resolved soon. The thought of my sweet Bloom with that monster hasn't left my mind since it started."

"I know, it's the same for me. If we could find their hideout then we could end it." Oritel replied. Suddenly the the computer activated.

"What is it Oritel?" Mariam asked.

"It's an automatic emergency message from Alfea. The barrier is down from an attacker." Oritel answered.

"It must be Baltor and Bloom!" Mariam yelled.

"Then lets go to Alfea and help them!" Oritel yelled as they both ran out the room. A few minutes they met in the main hall. Oritel was in his armor and Mariam was in her normal attire.

"Do you have the magical amulet?" Oritel asked.

"Yes it's here. Now lets go save our daughter!" Mariam yelled as they teleported to Alfea.

The group composing of Faragonda, the Winx, and the Specialists made it to the quad. They saw that the students were in a confused frenzy. They all calmed down when they saw that the group and the falcuilty getting ready for the invaders. They all looked as the gates opened to reveal Baltor, alone.

"Where's Bloom?!" Sky yelled.

"Wow, I think that is the question I have been asked the most this past month." Baltor stated.

'Wait, he dosen't have the box. Bloom must be taking Alfea's spells!' Faragonda thought. "Girls stop Bloom from taking the spells!" She ordered. With that the Winx flew into the school, toward the library.

Once they got to the library they saw that Bloom wasn't there, but she had been. The books and scrolls were robbed of all their magic.

"We're too late!" Stella yelled.

"For here yes, but if we hurry we might get to the Hall of Enchantment in time!" Musa yelled. They decided to transport to Faragonda's office. They saw that the mirror to the Hall was opened.

"Lets get in there and stop Bloom!" Layla yelled as they entered the Hall. They came down to see Bloom taking the magic from the last scroll in the Hall.

"Well well, your all just a little too late to stop me!" Bloom yelled as she teleported out of the Hall. The group then teleported to the quad.

Faragonda, the falcuilty, and the Specialists were fighting Baltor when Bloom appeared next to him in the air.

"I got the spells Baltor!" She yelled as she laughter evilly. The Winx then appeared next to the deffence force. Oritel and Mariam also appeared behind Bloom and Baltor.

"Now with all this power, I really don't need you Baltor." With that, Bloom raised her hand and Baltor couldn't move. The two of them then floated down to the ground where Baltor was on his knees facing the croud and Bloom was standing behind him.

"Bloom, what are you doing?!" Baltor asked in anger.

"I'm doing what you have been teaching me this whole time, taking power!" Bloom yelled as a flaming dark matter sword appeared in her hand. She slashed at his right arm, severing it half way between his shoulder and his elbow. He cried out in pain as

Bloom walked over to left side. She slashed down, severing his are at the shoulder. She then walked in front of him, seeing fear and anger in his eyes. A second sword appeared in her other hand. She crossed them in an x and placed them is Baltor's neck. Then with all her strength, pushed both swords outwards. Baltor's head landed next to his body on the ground in a pool of blood.

Bloom turned to see the terrified and horror filled faces. "This is what happens to those who oppose me, or betray me like that scum did." Bloom said as she motioned to the disassembled corspe.

Bloom then felt a pair of hands holding her. She tried to brake free but was unable to. She then saw Mariam walk in front of her.

"Bloom if you don't struggle this will be much easier." Mariam said softly as she pulled a strange amulet out. At the sight of it Bloom started to struggle more. After a while, Mariam finally got it around Bloom's neck. The amulet started to glow and Bloom immediately calmed down. Mariam then focused her magic and touched her head.

Total darkness. That was all Bloom could see. With a flash of light, she saw Mariam appear.

"Mother!" Bloom yelled as she ran toward her mother. "Where are we?"

"Bloom we are in the deepest part of your soul. I used the amulet to channel my magic into you so I could travel here." Mariam answered.

"Mom you need to stop me. I can't overcome the darkness." Bloom said in a weak and sad tone.

"One of the reasons I'm here is to see if you are still truly good or evil. I'm relieved to see that you are still our kind daughter." Mariam said.

"I've done horrible things, how can I still be the same?" Bloom asked.

"Bloom what you did under the influence of evil does not define who you really are." Mariam said as she walked over and hugged Bloom to comfert her.

"Bloom do you know anyway to go beyond your Evilix so you can get away from the darkness." To Mariam's question an idea popped into her head.

"There is, the challenge for the Lightix." Bloom said.

"Bloom do what you need to do. We all will support you." Mariam said.

"When you end the spell, take the Agador Box and open it. Let all the spells go. We don't want her getting them." Bloom said.

The last part confused Mariam. 'Who was she talking about?'

The spell ended and Mariam found herself back in the real world. She grabbed the box and took the amulet off of Bloom.

"Mariam what are you doing?" Oritel asked.

"Trust me and trust Bloom in what she's doing." With that Mariam opened the box, releasing the spells back to their realms.

Bloom then started to glow brightly, blinding everyone. When the light disappeared, they saw TWO Blooms on the ground. One was in Blooms normal blue and white stripped top with the hearts. The ruffled blue skirt and the knee high socks with the high heeled boots. But the second Bloom had Black highlights in her hair and all of her cloths were black and red. It was obvious that one was Bloom and the other was Dark Bloom.

Suddenly there was a loud, deep voice that yelled out. "Let the Challenge of The Lightix BEGIN!"

The two Blooms stood up and turned towards each other and transformed. Dark Bloom transformed into her Evilix and had amber cat eyes, but Bloom had blue normal eyes and transformed into a different fairy form. It was a tight fiting blue and pink dress. Pink in the chest and at the hips; blue in the abdomen. The bottom split in a V-shape at her knees and split upwards ending 5in below the waist. Along the bottom is a transparent pink silk that makes a cape like extension at the end of the dress. She has transparent blue gloves to her elbows. She had a blue silk neck strap that connected to the dress, giving the dress support. She also had the blue silk as straps at the higher parts of her arms connecting to the sides of the dress. She had blue and punk silk slippers. All parts of the outfit were sparkly. Her wings looked like her Enchatix wings but more rounded. They were a base blue but had small pink hearts that formed a larger heart.

As soon as they were both transformed, they started to fight. They both had the same powers and if it were not for the cloths and the eyes, they were identical. Bloom would send an attack and Dark Bloom would block it. Dark Bloom would send an attack and Bloom would block it.

Bloom then noticed that the group was determined to see this fight in person dispite the danger. She decided to put a shield around them for protection. As she finished she was hit by a blast from Dark Bloom. Bloom fell from the sky, hit the shield, then landed on the ground with a loud thump.

The group knew she was tiered, both of them. Dark Bloom landed and had to catch her breath as Bloom tried to get off the ground. She was able to get up as Dark Bloom came over. Dark Bloom created a flaming dark matter sword. She then approached the weakened fairy, ready to finish her off.

As Dark Bloom swong her sword Bloom moved to the left avoiding the attack. Bloom then created a dark matter dagger as she lunged her left hand toward Dark Bloom'd side. Dark Bloom wasn't able to move quick enough due to exhaustion. The dagger stabbed into her side and Dark Bloom fell.

Around the two a dozen dark robed figures appeared. They raised their hands toward the two and a blinding light appeared. Once the light faded, there was just one Bloom. She was still in her Lightix form, but laying on the ground.

The same mysterious voice spoke again, "Congradulations! You have completed the Challenge and earned your Lightix and its full powers. You are the first to earn it in three millennia. You should be proud, Princess Bloom of Domino." And with that Bloom transformed back into her normal cloths and fainted.

One Week Later

Bloom awoke in her room in Domino two days ago. Since then everyone in the Winx, the Specialists, and Faragonda visited her. She welcomed all of them, but only one of them she didn't want to see. Sky. The visit didn't go well. Bloom felt bad for everything she did to him, but he could tell that there was more to it than that. He was persistent on finding out and it was making her relive it in her mind over and over again.

There was a knock at the door, "Come in!" Bloom yelled. Sky then entered.

"Bloom I wish you would tell me what is bothering you." He said in the sweetist voice he could. He then walked over to her bed and sat next to her.

"Fine you want to know, i'll tell you. I don't want to be around you right now because with everything I did to you I feel that you don't dude eve someone like me." She said while doing her best to hold back tears.

"But Bloom you are the best person for me. I love you and I will always love you." Sky said as he put his hand on her shoulder.

"I thrived to break your heart several times, I manipulated your feelings, for goodness sakes I tried to burn your palace to the ground and execute your father!" Bloom yelled as she started to let the tears flow.

"Bloom you were under the influence of the darkness, it's not your fault." Sky said trying to comfert his lover.

"But Sky, I enjoyed it." With that she really started to cry.

"Bloom, if it were actually you that felt that way then you wouldn't be upset about it now." Sky said.

Mariam entered to investigate the sound of someone crying. She walked over and sat on the other side of Bloom on the bed.

Knowing how upset Bloom was over her actions she put together why she was crying. "Bloom you couldn't help what you did. We are here for you."

"Thank you." Bloom said as she started to stop crying.

"Bloom I have something that I hope you still will think as yours." With that Sky pulled out her engagement ring.

"Sky of corse I will still marry you." Bloom said. Sky then put the ring back on the finger.

"Ya know what. I learned something from this." Bloom stated.

"What?" Sky asked.

"It's a ton of fun to mess with you a little here and there." Bloom said as she hugged Sky.

"Also I have an idea. Lets get everyone together and go the the Frutie Music Bar for the rest of the day. I'm ready to get out of bed and get active." Bloom said

"Sounds like a great idea. I'll start calling everyone." Sky said as he got up. Bloom then went to her closet to choose what to wear.

One Hour Later/ Fruttie Music Bar:

Bloom and Sky appeared outside the Fruttie Music Bar. They walked in and found everyone else was already here.

"Wow it didn't take you all too long to get here." Bloom stated.

"Well ya! It's out first full group outing since this all started!" Stella then ran up to Bloom and hugged her.

"Did I tell you that I missed you?" Stella asked.

"I think it came up a few times." Bloom joked.

"Well who's ready for a good old time!" Bloom yelled as they all entered the Fruttie Music Bar.
