"Here's the last one, Darkar." Icy grinned as she handed the last gem over to him.
Standing in his dark lair, the phoenix king laughed manically as he ascended to his throne.
"You three witches have done well, better than I expected in fact." He commend them.
"Thank you Darkar." The Trixs replied.
He grin became wider as he continued. Waving his hand, he made the other two gems appeared and said, "In a few moments I shall have the power to get out of this imprisonment the Winx had trapped me in and finally rule the world."
"With a beautiful girl by your side, right?" Stormy said.
"Yeah, right!" He hissed. "You witches should have learnt from the last time, I rule alone." He rose from his seat. "You three think you could have fooled me with these fake gems?" He snapped his fingers and three gems appeared from Icy's pocket. "I knew you witches would betray me."
"No way!" Darcy yelled. "We did your dirty work, there is no way your going to backstab us, just because we backstab you."
"Darcy, you idiot!" Icy hissed. "But she is right. Those gems belong to us and once we get them back, you're going to show us how to use them."
"Not a chance. You see unlike you witches." He smiled as he walked down the stairs. "I have been practicing for the year that I was imprisoned here and gotten stronger. So good bye." He simply waved his hand and several monsters appeared.
"These monsters ain't got anything on us." Stormy chuckled.
Before they could use there powers, monster attacked.
"Ice Coffin!" Icy yelled, as a monster began biting her leg. Seeing nothing happen she screamed. "What the heck happened to my powers?"
"I got rid of them." Darkar answered. "Remember you three powers are weak in Shadow Hunt and I cast a spell to make it even weaker to the point where it's can barley be picked up."
"You b-." Stormy uttered before the monsters dragged her and the others away, into the pits of the lair.
"Now that I have those insects out of the way I can now begin." Darkar smiled. Laying the three gems on a stone, he began chanting. A few moments later, they began to glow. "Yes! I have finally done it. One of the greatest magical powers will be mine!"
Finishing the chant, the gems began to glow brighter and brighter till it exploded.
Once it exploded, the fake gems omitted a powerful shockwave, destroying everything in its path.
"Faragonda, do you feel that?" Ms. Griffin asked as they plus Headmaster Saladin stood in an empty hallway of Alfea.
"Yes, I did. Griffin." She replied.
"So did I. That means Darkar and the Trixs used the hex gems and have been annulated." Saladin said.
The three friends gave a smile of relief before continuing to where they were headed.
The next day.
Stella rushed into Bloom and Flora's dorm, almost breathless. Seeing everyone there, giving her a puzzled looked, she said. "Girls, the word around the school is that Darkar and the Trixs were destoryed yesterday."
"Where did you hear that Stella?" Bloom asked as she and the others walked over to her.
"Yes, Stella, where did you hear that?" A voice came from behind them.
Looking around they say, Ms. Griselda standing in the doorway.
"Good morning, Ms. Griselda." The girls said.
"Good morning, girls." She replied. "Now princess tell me where you heard that from?"
"Around. You know how girls love to gossip?" She said nervously.
"Well is it true Ms. Griselda?" Tecna asked.
"It is very much true, girls." She answered. "Now Flora, Layla and Musa go to Headmistress Faragonda's office, immediately. She has something to speak to you about."
The three nodded.
"Girls, as you have been hearing around the school, Darkar and the Trixs have been defeated and this time I don't think they will be coming back ever again." Ms. Faragonda said.
"Thanks great Ms. F." Musa said.
"So this means we have to give back the gems now?" Layla asked.
"On the contraire Layla, you girls get to keep them."
"What?" Flora looked surprised.
"You see you three, I didn't choose you to be the keepers of the gems, they did." Ms. Faragonda informed them. "They creators knew they would be a time when evil would come to steal them so when that time came the gems would choose three persons that would be pure hearted enough to not use them for personal gain."
"And we are those girls?" Flora said.
"So, Headmistress what happens now?" Layla asked. "We can't keep them in our rooms forever, collecting dust."
Ms. Faragonda smiled. "Girls, they are not in your room. They are apart of you, now. Once they picked you three, they over time intertwined with your winx and give you more power."
"Come to think of it, my powers have become stronger." Musa mentioned.
"Mine too, but I only thought it was because I was practising." Layla said.
"I thought it was because everyone else was getting weaker." Flora gave a little smile.
"Okay, girls that's all for now." Ms. Faragonda dismissed them.
"Ms. F. can we tell our friends about this?" Musa asked.
"They already know." She waved her hand and the office door pushed opened. Bloom, Stella and Tecna fell to the ground.
"Hello." Tecna said, embarrassed.
"So busted." Stella groaned.
Helia stood at the entrance to Red Fountain and took a deep breath. It's Saturday and in a few moments his parents would be coming.
Moments later a two carriages pulled up and stopped in front of him. The first one was opened by a guard to reveal his father, who had long blue hair, just like him and well built.
He stepped out and greeted his son.
Helia looked around before asking, "Where is mother?"
"She wasn't feeling too well and ordered me to still come and talk to you."
"Talk to me about what?" Helia asked.
"Your engagement." His father uttered.
"Engagement? To whom?"
"To Princess Jasmine." He said then indicated to the other carriage behind him to reveal a seventeen year old girl with waist length black hair, dark blue eyes and has a tan complexion.
"Father, I thought we talked about this? If I came to Red Fountain the engagement was off and besides I am with another girl. She is beautiful, smart, brave and just the most wonderful girl I could ever ask for." Helia smiled at the thought of Flora, wrapped in his arms.
"I don't care. You are marrying Jasmine."
"Well, I do! Like it or not Dad I have feelings for her and I feel… no …know she's the one." Helia smiled. "And when she comes over tonight, you will love her."
"We will see." His father said.
'We will see indeed.' Jasmine thought.
