Chapter 10: Prelude to a Storm
The Quatrix, along with Lord Cedric and Miranda all stood by the quarry as they waited for Frost the Hunter to come and bring in some more recruits. Darcy looked to the rest of her sisters and groaned. Phobos is going to take away our powers, one way or the other! She mentally spat stressfully. Icy nodded and looked to her sisters as Miranda and Cedric started to notice the event going on. When Phobos attempts to take away our powers for good, we fight back at him and drain his powers dry. She strategized to the Quatrix. The four witches nodded as Frost and the Tracker returned.
Frost bowed before the Quatrix with his hand in front of his chest and his head slightly knelt down. "My ladies, we have just recruited the last of the Loyalists to King Phobos. Now, the troops are assembled and ready for battle." He informed them. Stormy scoffed and looked over to Nerissa with a smirk on her face. "Your general has done well." She stated. Once again, Frost bowed slightly at this comment and smiled. "Thank you, my lady." He said, but Nerissa cut him off from saying any more and looked to the army. Diaspro and Chimera both led the armies as the Wizards of the Black Circle stood with others, such as Tridart the Despair and Ember the Pain.
Nerissa turned to the Trix, Cedric and Miranda and nodded. "Enough about him!" she exclaimed. The Trix nodded as Miranda started to get on Cedric's snake form's back. All four members of the Quatrix smirked as Nerissa continued her speech. "We have a world to command, and the clocks are ticking." She finished up, reminding them of their true purpose. Cedric and Miranda walked after Frost and the Tracker as the Quatrix followed, but Stormy stopped them before they could go further.
"Icy, Nerissa, I know that this not my place, but do you really think it's wise to trust these people? I mean…" Stormy started out, but Icy cut her off. "Of course it's not. It's why we don't." She quipped. "Phobos is a pawn, nothing more." Nerissa added on. Darcy smiled as she started to join in. "When we're done, Phobos, and anyone who dares to stand in our way…" she started out before Stormy finished up, "Will fall."
"Phobos will be a mere footnote in our dark restructuring of Earth, and any other dimension." Icy stated. The Quatrix all laughed at this and started to fly off with the rest of the Armies. Unbeknownst to them, two figures, both floating in the air, watched the Quatrix take off. The two looked to each other and nodded. "News of this should be reported immediately to King Phobos." One of the hooded figures stated. "I concur with that." The other hooded figure replied back. The two female figures laughed evilly as they soon took off to the Omega Dimension, where they would soon report to Phobos about the betrayal of the Quatrix.
Meanwhile, following their battle against Dark Will, the Winx and WITCH girls started to fly over Gardenia. All of the girls gasped as the tears in the Veil started to expand and increase endlessly. Will looked over to Bloom and nodded. "So, what's the plan to take down the little witches?" she asked. Bloom, with some gauze on her right hand and on her chest as well, looked to Will and sighed. "As of now in our current condition, I don't think we have enough strength to take on Nerissa and the Trix. We should all regroup back at the Love and Pets store and come up with a plan there. Bloom stated. The rest of the girls all nodded as they started to fly over to the pet store.
The Winx and the WITCH girls all landed in the Love and Pets store, walking down the stairs and into the main room. Just then, Caleb ran up to them and smiled. "Will, you're back!" he exclaimed happily. Will smiled and patted Caleb on the shoulder. The Rebel Leader cleared his throat before moving onto what he was going to say to all the girls. "Queen Elyon's back and she brought some help with her!" he exclaimed. Bloom raised an eyebrow as she looked to Caleb curiously. "Caleb, what are you talking about?" she asked. Caleb smiled and began to lead the Winx and WITCH down to the main room.
When the Winx and WITHC got down to the main room, they gasped with surprise. They all soon let out smiles as they saw who were waiting there for them. There, waiting for them, were Mike, Vanessa, King Oritel, Queen Miriam, Yan Lin and her sister Mirra, King Erendor and Queen Samara, King Neptune, Nereus, Tressa, Headmistress Faragonda, Miss Griffin, Headmaster Saladin, Hogarth, the Company of Light, the Oracle, Halindor, Kadma, Cassidy, Raythor, Tynar, Vathek, Morgana, Klaus, and all of the girls' friends and family!
Bloom ran up to hug her Earth parents while Hay Lin hugged her grandmother with much love. "What are you guys doing here?" Stella asked as Miss Faragonda calmly walked up to the Fairy of the Dragon Flame. "As of now, with the coming of the Army of Darkness and the rise of the new witches, we are at war, and we should all be very weary of the threat that lies ahead." She stated.
King Neptune looked to Aisha and Nabu and smiled. "It is finally great to see that my niece is once again with her beloved." He stated. Both Nabu and Aisha smiled to each other with happiness as King Radius hugged Stella tightly. "My daughter, you are very fortunate to be fighting this war. The Trix are very powerful, and with Nerissa at their side, I can't imagine what they could accomplish." He stated. Stella smiled and hugged her father back, laughing playfully. "I'll be fine, Daddy." She reassured him.
King Nereus then looked to his father and they both nodded. The rest of the royal families also did the same as they walked up to their daughters and friends. "In a matter of time, the Trix and Nerissa will soon be making their way to conquer the Infinite Dimensions." Faragonda stated. "We had no choice but to call upon the Company of Light, as well as the beings of Kandrakar, to come and help us in this urgent matter." Elyon added on before looking over to the Oracle for some more confirmation and details on the matter at hand. "The League of Pure Magic has now been assembled." The Oracle said, in which Faragonda, Griffin, Saladin, Queen Elyon, King Oritel, Queen Miriam, Hogarth and Erendor all nodded.
Headmaster Saladin then cleared his throat before he looked to each of the Specialists. "That is the reason why we have all assembled an army to counter this new evil force. Every other Specialist is waiting at Red Fountain for the order to come in and take on the new Army of Darkness." Saladin explained. Miss Griffin and Miss Faragonda stepped up and nodded as well. "My witches will be helping out as they wait at Cloud Tower." Miss Griffin started out before Miss Faragonda went on. "And the Fairies of Alfea will be coming here, specially trained in combat magic by the Company of Light." She stated, in which Bloom sent her father from Domino a smile.
Caleb looked over to Sky and nodded. "Are you up for this kind of threat?" he asked. Sky scoffed as he unsheathed his sword hilt. "I've practically been born to take on this kind of thing." He quipped. Caleb looked to each of the Specialists and chuckled. "I like your style, boys." He stated. He then looked to Brandon and nodded. "You especially, since you remind me of me." He joked. All the Specialists nodded and started to laugh as the Winx and the Guardians just watched and rolled their eyes. "Boys!" they all droned.
Soon, Flora walked over to the large group with a tray of drinks in her hands. "These will help us to recover from our injuries. Within the next hour, we should be all prepped and ready for battle against the Army of Darkness." The Nature Fairy explained. Will and Bloom sent smiles to Flora as they all took a drink from the special elixir that she made. Musa laughed as she swallowed up her drink. "I feel my strength coming back to me already!" she exclaimed. Hay Lin looked over to her and nodded. "I feel the same way too." She added on. Cornelia patted Flora on the back and chuckled. "You're not so bad." She stated. Taranee and Irma sent their smiles as Will and Bloom just bumped fists with each other. The rest of the Winx all smiled as the WITCH girls and Matt sent grins to one another.
Nereus and Neptune soon started to approach Aisha, with King Radius walking up behind them. Aisha and Stella both looked up as King Neptune presented Aisha with a large case and Nereus with a trident. Stella looked as her father started to present her with a large, golden case as well. "This sword was once mine, until a brave Fairy used it to help restore my kingdom and its people." Neptune explained, in which the Fairy from Andros started to smile at what was about to come next. "I present to you my sword once again, Aisha." The king finished up. Aisha smirked as she reached for the sword and raised it into the air, its blade shining bright.
Irma looked with amusement as Nereus started to walk up to her. "In times of war, we all must adapt to changes." Nereus started out. Irma smirked and nodded. "So, what are you trying to say here?" she asked. Aisha looked over to Irma and winked playfully. "You should use his trident in battle." She stated. Irma smiled and nodded as she started to twirl around the trident. "Let's get them." She quipped.
Stella looked to the two water fighters and pulled Taranee up next to her. King Radius just smiled as he presented the box to the Fire Guardian. "These weapons will help you perform well in battle. Be wise to use these weapons carefully." He stated. Taranee shrugged as she opened up the box. Inside of it were two rings, similar to the one Stella wore that concealed her Scepter of Solaria. "They're called the Solstice Crossbows. With them, you can never miss a shot." Stella explained. Taranee smiled as she placed the rings onto her fingers.
The Oracle and Kadma walked up to Cornelia with much happiness as the past Guardian of Earth presented her with a long, pink ribbon. "Originating from Kandrakar and Zamballa, your new Strand of the Earth will help you to master more power over Earth itself, and grant you a great power." Kadma explained. Cornelia smirked as she started to twirl around the new weapon with grace and elegance. Flora patted Cornelia on the shoulder with confidence as the Earth Guardian soon embraced her after.
Finally, Yan Lin and Mirra walked over to Hay Lin and Musa. Yan Lin walked over to her granddaughter while her twin sister paced towards Musa. Hay Lin looked down to her grandmother, or who she thought was Yan Lin, and knelt down. "What is it, Grandma?" Hay Lin asked curiously. Yan Lin then handed her granddaughter a pair of fans. "These will help you control the wind and land swift attacks on your enemies." She explained. Hay Lin just raised an eyebrow as she started to toy around with the fans. "I can definitely use these against the witches!" she exclaimed. Yan Lin smiled as she looked over to Mirra with Musa.
Musa stood respectively as Mirra handed her a small, pink tambourine. "Use this instrument to be in harmony with both yourself and the music around you." The Altermere of Yan Lin explained. Musa nodded at this while Bloom and Will walked up to the Specialists and Caleb. "You know, I think it's great that you guys showed up when you did." Bloom stated to both Will and the rest of WITCH, as well as Caleb and Matt. She then scoffed and looked to the rest of the group. "Yeah, well good thing for you guys." She quipped. The room filled with laughter as Bloom nudged Will on the shoulder. "Oh, come on." She remarked. Will just rolled her eyes and patted Bloom on the back. "I mean, you girls fight like rock stars." She added on. Musa stepped up and smiled. "I, for one, take that as a compliment." She mused. Taranee and Stella just bumped fists as the Oracle then looked down to all of them.
"Right now, we must focus on the threat of the collapse of the Veil." He stated. Everyone nodded as Miss Faragonda started to step up. "You have learned to trust in each another, enough to overcome the strength of the Trix and Nerissa. I am impressed." She stated. The girls laughed once again as they started to look out to the multiple tears in the Veil starting to expand and increase even more. "Let's show those witches just what teamwork is really all about." Will stated. The Winx and WITCH all nodded and yelled in agreement as the girl groups, Shagon, Caleb and the Specialists all ran out the door. They were about to be in the fight of their lives. "We're not ready to die today!" Will yelled out. The rest of the girls and their friends agreed as they started to head off to the center of the operation, where they knew about the danger lurking ahead.
