Chapter 11:
Zhalia froze as she saw the Professor, the Trix and Rassimov was there, several suits behind him. Hiding near the shadows, with an emotionless mask on his face, Helia stood there, wearing the typical suit that they all wore. Zhalia understood why he had done that. It wouldn't help for everyone to know that Helia was a 'traitor', or working for the Organisation. The Suits, except for Helia, who remained in the shadows, started attacking and firing spells at them, summoning their titans. The seekers immediately also summoned their titans, blocking all the spells as the Winx transformed and the specialists, save for Helia, drew their weapons. As she fought, blocked and ducked the spells, Zhalia noticed that Helia was discreetly indirectly helping them, by having a sort of rebound spell, rebounding the spell to the titans.
"Attack them!" The Professor ordered Helia, who hesitated the slightest moment before revealing himself and starting to attack Dante, who turned around in surprise, before his eyes narrowed.
"Helia." Dante then fired a blast at him, one that was dodged by him. "Boltflare!" Helia returned the spell, before dodging one of Dante's blows, kicking out.
Eventually, the Organisation and the Trix were outnumbered, and retreated, but, before they could retreat, the Professor turned to the agent, who was still fighting Dante. He turned back. "You puny fairies and seekers may think you've won, but the Organisation will win!" With that, he vanished, Helia being stared in horror by his friends. "Helia?" Sky asked, before the agent stopped, disappearing as well. The group turned to one another, before returning to Alfea, running to the Headmistress' office, frightening the poor woman, and being demanded to call Saladin, which she did, with grim realization.
Saladin arrived not too soon later, looking at the faces of his friends. Betrayed. Angry. Frightened.
"Saladin," Timmy asked. "What do you know of Helia working with the Organisation?" Saladin froze, realizing the urgency that Faragonda had called him with in her voice.
He sighed, his thoughts running through his head. Should he tell them? They deserve an answer. At that moment, he noticed Zhalia and Flora looking at him with sympathy. At least, Flora was, and Zhalia was looking only slightly concerned. It was only then that he also realised that the both of them had known already but weren't sure how to react in front of the people. Finally, he decided to find out what had happened. "What happened back there?"
Bloom looked uncomfortable. "The Professor ordered him to attack us, and he attacked Dante." Saladin nodded, now understanding the situation. Helia had been forced to attack them, to keep his cover at the Organisation. Sighing again, he explained.
"All of you were aware of him dropping out of Red Fountain?" He started.
Nabu nodded. "Yes. He went to Art School."
Saladin nodded; finding it hard to form words now, but Flora helped him gently. "But, instead, you had found out about the existence of the seeker world, and sent him undercover to help the Organisation, right?" The group, especially the Winx, looked stunned, but Zhalia remained impassive.
"You know about this, Flora?" Layla asked softly. Flora didn't meet her eyes, but nodded.
"He told me. I wasn't allowed to tell anyone, or talk about it. Sometimes, he would tell me about it, though."
Saladin nodded once again, understanding the young girl's uncomfortable state. "That's right. Until the Professor, on his own, found out about Magix. He sent Helia as a sort of spy to tell him our plans, and if we knew about him. So far, it worked. They think he is under the spell of Arachnos..."
Dante then continued, his face lighting with recognition. "As all the suits are." At the surprised glances of the group, he explained. "All the suits are under the spell of Arachnos, that's why they obey the Professor without question." Zhalia nodded, agreeing.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Brandon asked.
Saladin shook his head regretfully, looking out of the window. "He was already in enough trouble sneaking to and fro from Magix to the Organisation without any of you, well, except for two of you, knowing."
"Wait, two? Flora was one, so who's the other?" Sophie asked.
But Lok, who was working the pieces in his head, answered for Saladin. "Zhalia, right?" Zhalia looked surprised, slightly, while Saladin regarded the boy with surprise.
"You knew?"
Lok ducked his head slightly. "I mean, it would work: Zhalia used to work for the Organisation, and Klaus, and she was the only one that could've had a chance to, along with the fact that only the two didn't look surprised at what you said."
"From what I heard from Helia, the Professor speaks of Eathon highly about his skills of him solving riddles and puzzles I can see that the skill has been passed on to his son." Saladin nodded at him. Lok smiled sheepishly.
"Wait, so you mean to say that when we thought that he dropped out of Red Fountain to go to Art school, he was actually infiltrating the Organisation?" Riven asked, trying to get the information digested.
Saladin nodded. "Let me explain it again. He infiltrated the Organisation successfully, being the Organisation's top agent, like you yourself, Dante Vale. He tells me the information that he finds out, and I try to get help. When he informed me that your group was going to come, I thought that it would make things complicated. The Professor, wherever he is, will want Helia to fight against the seekers and us, as he knows that Helia studies at Red Fountain.
"The Blood Spiral? The Nullifiers?" Sophie sounded alarmed.
"What is it, Sophie?" Lok asked her.
"The Blood Spiral was the group that was against the Casterwills. The Nullifiers were summoned by the Blood Spiral, and are hard to beat. Casterwill nearly lost his life in the fight against them. The Nullifiers were the reason that Lord Casterwill summoned the titans to Earth, including the legendary titans. The Blood Spiral then disbanded, and haven't been heard from since."
"So you mean that, if the Blood Spiral comes back together again and summon the Nullifiers," Stella began.
"Then we're all doomed." Suddenly, a note fluttered into Saladin's hand. He read it aloud, voice filling with dread. Get ready. At that moment, some people started yelling outside as fairies were caught and roughly thrown in prison cells, disarming them the ability to transform. They looked out, and froze. 5 people, very familiar, were leading the attack. And this time, they were going all out.
AN: And here's the next chapter! Another few chapters and this story is finished. What do you think about a sequel? I'm not sure.
