Chapter 11
After Faragonda left, the girls transformed and the guys changed. All of them getting ready to start their battle. Flora was pretty nervous when the boys came back in.
"Is everybody ready?" Sky asked, taking charge of the situation.
The girls, pixies, and the specialists all nodded once.
"Then let's go." Bloom said.
Everyone started up the stair case when they heard someone call to them.
"Please, let me out! I can help you!" The voice- Nabu- called. Flora looked at Layla, who sighed.
"May as well" she said "If we don't, he'll just do it himself. I'll take care of him; you catch up with the others." And with that, she was gone. So, Flora and chatta flew to the top, where everyone was waiting.
"Where's Layla?"Musa asked.
"She forgot something." Flora said or, someone, I guess she thought. Then there was another explosion.
"Alright, well, let's keep going so Alfea won't be dust by the time we get up there." Musa said everyone agreed.
In a good 3 minutes they were walking out the front door of their beloved school. Which was already broken, one tower was completely crumbled, as if it were a cracker that someone crushed with their hand. There were Fairies fighting monsters and teachers fighting the Trix, but where was Valtor?
"Stella and Flora get Icy, Tecna and Musa gets Darcy, and Riven and Brandon gets Stormy. I'll take Valtor; Sky's my backup. Every other specialist gets a monster. Winx, when you're done I might need your help." Bloom said, everyone nodded and then Flora watched as everyone went to their stations.
"Ready Flora?"Stella asked.
Flora smiled "As ready as I'll ever be."
"Be careful" Helia said and
She smiled, an encouraging smile, and nodded. "You too" She said Then they flew off; joining Griselda and Faragonda fighting Icy, the worst of the Trix.
"Girls I'm so glad you could make it" Faragonda said sweetly, sounding tiered.
"Miss. Faragonda, you sound exhausted, why don't you take a break?" Flora asked. Faragonda just shook her head "I'm going to go help Bloom" She said and was off.
"Alright enough chit chat!" Icy yelled "Frozen Prism!" She yelled and pointy little icicles came shooting towards them.
Stella flew in front. "Enchantix Sunburst" She yelled and it, not only melted the ice, but it also hit Icy. Hard enough to knock her to the ground.
"Stella, quick, a pixie dust convergence could weaken her powers enough for her to stay still" Flora said
"Don't think I'll give up that easily." Icy mumbled "Arctic Blast!" She yelled and a fragment of ice came, Flora knew from experience that it would blow.
"Spring has sprung" she called and it turned into a bunch of birds.
"Enchantix pixie dust!" Both Stella and Flora said in unison, and took out their bottles pouring dust all over Icy, who eventually fainted.
"Energy of Mother Earth" Flora called
"Ocean of light" Stella called
"Convergence" they said in unison and a hot rocky thorn cage appeared around Icy's sleeping body.
"That should hold her" Stella said confidently "Let's go find Bloom."
They flew over everyone, getting a better view of the battle ground. Little purple monsters were everywhere. Fairies that Flora could point out, name by name. When she saw Helia fighting alongside Brandon, she couldn't tell if he was winning or losing, it worried her. But she figured it would end up just fine, like it always had.
I don't know why I'm thinking this way. Flora thought I need to keep good thoughts, and stay calm. Valtor is a major threat and we all know this. But could there possibly be a way for us to defeat him, without anyone getting hurt? Inside the wizard, the appearance we are used to, there is a monster. My biggest fear is, how long will it take for the monster to unleash it's self? If we win this battle- and destroy Valtor- would we really destroy him? Is it even possible?
"Hey? You alright Flora?" Stella asked as they got closer to Bloom, Faragonda, Sky, and Valtor; the core of the whole scene
"Oh, yes, I'm fine." Flora said
But am I? Flora thought.
Stella stopped flying and Flora almost ran into her.
"I know you better than that, Flora, what's going on?" Stella asked
"Nothing, just nervous, I guess." Flora said. Stella sighed
"I guess we can't really talk about this right now, can we?" Stella asked, looking at the battle a couple of feet away "I'll get back to you" she said, then they were off again.
Everyone was on the ground, so they had to land, and take their places. The stars were still out, Flora knew it couldn't be any later than midnight; and they were in the woods outside of Alfea. One by one, each fairy and specialist joined the line. Until every one of them was there, besides Layla and Nabu. But Flora knew that one way or another, someone was going to lose and fail. This could end everything for one team, or maybe, even a life. She silently swore to herself to make sure it's hers if it came down to it. She wouldn't let her loved ones get hurt. Flora felt someone hold her hand. She glanced up, only to see Helia cautiously watching Valtor.
"So, I see you have an army brewing against me, Faragonda." Valtor said.
Faragonda gave him a stern look. "I wouldn't have to" She said "If you weren't attacking my school"
He smirked and raised his voice a little "Well I plan on attacking all of Magix" he said "And you school just happened to be part of it. But you won't live to see the rest" He then threw a dark energy ball at Ms. Faragonda, who blocked it with a barrier.
"Honestly, Valtor, I would expect more from someone who has been stealing magical spells from all around the galaxy" Bloom said, after hitting him with a fire attack.
"Bloom, you honestly think after all this time I don't have a plan?" Valtor said, growing bigger and bigger until he actually transformed into some kind of monster.
This is just what I was waiting for, Flora thought, so this is the true form of Valtor.
"And now, my dear fairies, witness the ultimate power, the power of the elements!" Valtor said and his little golden box came out as he held what looked like a ball made of different materials.
The power of the elements? Tecna thought but that's Water, Fire, Earth, and Air. And, besides air, we technically have that, too: Layla, Bloom, Flora, and Musa could create something similar to air. I don't think he's thought about that, he has an equal. She thought. We really have nothing to worry about.
"And with this, nothing can defeat me!" Valtor continued.
"That's a lot of talk for someone who's been, nearly, defeated a few times." Brandon said
"That's right! What makes you think your spells are different than ours?" Tecna asked, not very curious.
"They are different. Now shut up! And welcome your end peacefully." Valtor said and sent what looked like a tornado towards the specialists, who dodged it easily.
He didn't answer Tecna's question… Flora thought
"Dragon Fury!" Bloom called and a fire energy ball was shot at Valtor, who caught it and made it disappear.
He sent a blast of water that knocked her to the ground. Flora looked around, for an idea, when it finally hit her.
"Ivy Vine Wrap" She called and a wrap of strong vines wrapped around Valtor, She looked at Bloom who nodded.
"Dragon Essence" She called and a dragon flew straight to Valtor, hitting him pretty hard.
Valtor had enough. He broke the vines and yelled "You'll pay for that!" then threw a dark energy ball at Bloom.
But…It's my fault… Flora thought, and before thinking anything else, she jumped in front of Bloom: her roommate and one of her best friends. The energy ball hit her, and knocked her to the floor.
"Flora!" She heard Bloom and Helia say in unison before everything got all fuzzy and she fainted.
Flora's P.O.V (for the first time)
When I opened my eyes, I was in a field; filled with various flowers. It looked kind of like the one at home. The sky was so clear, so blue, it looked so…. So fake.
"Flora!" I heard a voice call, I sat up right and looked towards where it was coming from, it was Rose.
"Hi sweetie" I said and she smiled
"You've been asleep a long time" She said
Asleep? I thought and got to my feet.
"What do you mean? I haven't seen you since June?" I asked… "Speaking of which, how did I get here?" I continued.
Rose gave me a curious look, as if I had asked her a difficult math equation. "But Flora, it's May." She said
"What do you mean? And what happened with Valtor? Do you know? And the winx! Is everyone alright?" I said Rose grabbed my hand.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, must've been some dream. Let's get you out of the sun." She said, leading me the way to the palace.
A dream? No way, that's impossible. I thought as we walked inside the palace, my home. Everything was still so green, still so lush. Inside, it smelled like a mix of pine trees and roses, just like it always had.
"Welcome home, my princess's!" every servant or maid had said as we passed. And we thanked them and smiled, just like I always did when I came home from somewhere.
"I'll see you in a minute, Rose." I said
"Okay Flora! Hurry and change, Mother hates it when you don't wear your gown." She said
It's true, she does. I thought "Alright, thanks sweetie." I said and walked gracefully, as taught, until she was out of sight. Then I ran straight to my room, passing curious faces. I shut the door.
Dream? Impossible that is not a dream. I thought
"Winx Enchantix!" I called, just like I always do. But nothing happened. No way…. That can't be true. I sat on the floor and looked out the window.
What about Helia? A voice in my head thought I sighed and stood up, walking out onto the balcony. I examined the Lynphea gardens. Maybe I should call them? But I can't transform… Can't there be any way to get things back to the way they were? How did I end up like this to begin with?
"Princess Flora" Someone- Harmony (Sort of my friend) - said, ruining my train of thought. "Dinner is ready"
"Okay, thank you." I said and she smiled at me.
After she left I walked into my room, shutting the curtain in front of the door to the balcony. Then I changed into my pink gown. It was always my favorite: It had flowers scrolled around the bottom on little vines, peasant like mid drift sleeves, and a sash through the middle with a rose on it. Then I did my hair and went downstairs.
During the day, unlike other kingdoms, Rose and I are usually allowed to wear normal clothes. It was a rule my parents made so we could walk in the gardens (as we often do) without having to worry about our best gowns getting dirty or torn. But, in the afternoon or night, we had… have, I guess, to wear our gowns because father usually has people over for dinner. And like every princess, we have an image to uphold.
I made my way to the dining hall and sat down in my usual chair, sitting up straight, shoulders arched, and keeping the "princess's should be seen and not heard" Rule in mind. But sometimes, it's easier said than done. After dinner, I put on my night gown, and went to bed. It was as if I had never gone to Alfea, as if nothing had changed.
It was like this for a few days, just like I remember it. Maybe…. Maybe it was a dream. I just feel like I'm supposed to be doing something else. One day, I passed a tree that was knocked down, and although it made me sad, I didn't feel anything. When normally I would have felt the tree's pain.
The summer's heat started kicking in and my parents decided to throw a big party for the new season (we do this every time a season changes, its tradition). So I was in my room with Harmony getting ready. I put on my favorite dress and Harmony did my hair. The party was in the ball room, and I was most likely to sit there and welcome people.
When everyone had arrived, I took Rose to get something to drink with me, because she was bored out of her mind. We bowed to the proper people at the right time, and people bowed to us. When we got to the table where the drinks were, I looked over at the people dancing and saw people that looked extremely familiar. The winx? I thought No way. I felt myself smile and saw them dancing with the specialists. I knew it was them! I looked around the room until I saw blue hair, just who I was hoping for.
"Helia!" I called and speed- walked away from Rose's curious looks. He didn't hear me. "Helia!" I called and he turned around and smiled at me.
"I'm sorry, but, do I know you?" he asked.
What? I thought the room around me turned pitch black, and everyone, every noise disappeared. It was only Helia and I.
"Yes, you know me." I said horrorstruck
"Are you alright?" He asked.
I looked at him curiously "Excuse me?" I asked.
"Flora… Wake up. Please, Flora, wake up." He pleaded and, even though it didn't look like it, it sounded like he was on the verge of crying…
"Am I asleep?" I asked him but he just repeated
"Flora… please, can you hear me? Wake up"
Normal P.O.V, with the Winx.
Helia was sitting with Flora lying motionless in his lap. He shook her lightly
"Flora! Wake up? Can you hear me?" He was worried and getting stressed.
"You'll pay for that Valtor!" Bloom screamed him. Then Layla and Nabu ran up.
"Sorry guys! What happened to Flora?" Layla asked.
"I'll explain later." Tecna said, angry.
"Wow, if I knew that would've made you fight harder, I would've done it a long time ago." Valtor said
"Oh shut up!" Stella screamed.
"Let's do a convergence!" Tecna said.
"Go ahead and try, your convergence's have no effect on me." Valtor said easily.
"I wouldn't bet on it. Enchantix Sunburst!" Stella called.
"Dragon Essence" Bloom called
"Soundwave attack!" Musa called
"Morphix attack!" Layla called
"Electric Storm" Tecna called
"Convergence!" They said in unison and Valtor met his end.
Everyone ran to Flora immediately, examining their friend.
"Is she alright?" Musa asked
"Yeah, her pulse is still going, but she's in a lot of pain because she hasn't moved." Helia said.
"I can help her with my healing power" Bloom said and a blue glow came out of her hand.
Flora opened her eyes slowly looking to see everyone giving her anxious looks. So that was a dream? She thought.
"Flora!" Everyone called and gave her hugs before she could sit up.
"Ow" she mumbled and laughed a little bit.
"Flora, I'm so sorry you shouldn't have done that for me." Bloom said.
"But it was my fault that he even threw the thing." Flora said "Speaking of which, what happened? Where's Valtor?" She asked
"He's gone, Flora." Tecna said "We don't have to worry about him anymore."
When Flora tried to get to her feet, she almost fell backward, caught by Helia; who helped her walk. She noticed Nabu and Layla holding hands and she knew no one had to worry about him anymore. When they got inside Alfea walls they were greeted by the whole school standing in the quart yard cheering for them.
"Welcome home everyone!" Faragonda said "We couldn't have done it without you."
"Thank you Ms. Faragonda." Bloom said, for all of them, happily.
The boys soon returned to Red Fountain and the girls to their dorm. Flora framed the picture Helia drew for her and put it on her desk in her room. Everything slowly tuned back to normal. As for the trix, They were once again arrested and taken to Lake Rock Resort. The fairies live a good last year at Alfea.
So this chapter ends on a happy note, what's going to happen next? Will the winx face more challenges? Find out in Chapter 12 (Season 4) on August 17th.
