With the Specialists (30 minutes after the Winx left)...
"I think half-an-hour was long enough." Sky said as the boys pulled onto the Winx's street.
"I hate having to follow them, but I'm getting really curious as to where they keep disappearing to." Nabu said, looking out the window. "This is the third time."
"Well, we're about to find out." Brandon said before pointing. "Park here, Sky. Don't want them to see us."
"Just like my uncle taught me." Helia said as they got out of the car. "First, observe, then act. It's what makes a good Specialist."
"Glad we have you here, Helia." Riven said kind of sarcastically.
The guys snuck through the woods at the edge of the girls' property before finally getting into a position where they could see the mansion and the guesthouse. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary...until the guys saw two familiar-looking fairies flying through the air—not on their own volition—from one side of the yard and literally landing a yard away from where they were hiding. The two downed fairies were then joined by the other five, who bent down and helped them up. The fairies were back in the air in no time as two giant rock creatures joined the party.
"I am getting so sick of you giant rocks!" The blonde fairy shouted. "Do you know how hard I have to work to get my hair this perfect? Magic Rainbow!" She then shot a yellow ball of sunlight that emitted sparkles out of her hand that knocked a chunk of rock off one of the creatures.
"Green Luxurious Ivy!" The light brunette fairy said, sending a green beam into the ground, which grew vines around one of the creatures, squeezing tightly.
"Keep it there." The black-headed fairy said. "Soundwave Attack!" The light purple sound waves badly damaged the creature.
"The fairies are good." Helia said to his friends.
"They're amazing." Sky said, the others agreeing.
With the Winx...
After about an hour, the creatures were still moving and fighting and the Winx and Roxy were tiring and bruising. After more attacks, the creatures got in a good swipe at all of the fairies, except for Bloom. When the other Winx and Roxy went down, they tried to get up, but found they couldn't, so they just put up their defense shields before they passed out. Bloom glanced down and saw her friends were down, and that made her extremely angry. Before she knew what she was doing, her Dragon was out and spinning around at an alarmingly fast rate. If she didn't delegate her energy wisely, she would too burn out, but she was way too angry to care. After spinning around a few more times, she shot it out at one of the creatures.
"Full Dragon Energy!" Bloom shouted and once it hit one of the creatures, nothing was left of it.
Before the Dragon could even return to Bloom, she was on the ground, totally out of energy. When the Dragon reentered her body, she used what energy was left to generate a shield before passing out, her last conscious thought was that Vanessa and Mike, and the Pixies, were still in danger from the other creature.
Arcadia...
Arcadia, the first fairy ever in existence and on the Council of Elders representing fairies, watched as all the Winx fairies went down. She knew what she had to do, but when she did it, she was just putting a bigger target on them, especially poor Bloom. But with the enemy they're up against, they'll need all the power they can get. Maybe even more, but for now, this will do.
Arcadia placed her hands on the watery surface where she was watching them and whispered, "Magic Winx, Believix." The power rippled from her and went all the way to the Winx on Earth. "Good luck, young fairies."
With the Specialists...
The guys held their breaths as they saw the red-head go down after completely obliterating one of the creatures. They were just about to get up and go help them when they saw a bright light zoom down from the sky and hit each of the girls' bubbles, raising them up. Each one started to spin fast before exploding into fairy dust, one after the other.
The first bubble exploded in pink sparkles, revealing the first fairy. Her outfit changed from the frock she had been wearing into a glittery light green, one-armed—elbow-length sleeve on her left arm—stomach-baring top that has two pale lavender straps holding it over her right shoulder, her right arm bearing a glittery bright green fingerless, elbow-high glove, and glittery light green short-shorts with light green ruffles lining the bottom and a wide greenish-yellow belt—with a pink heart on it with several pink ruffles hanging off of the left side—slanted around her hips. Her shoes switched from sandals to light green high-heeled, platform ankle boots with white heels over pink socks, and her hair is left down and straight. On her eyelids is light pink eyeshadow and on her lips is bubblegum-pink lipstick, and her glittery large, heart-shaped wings are edged with glittery green and has dark purple on the inside and at the edges of the wings are swirled, light pink designs. She has no mask on. When the fairy dust finally cleared away, the guys saw Roxy, the girls' Junior friend.
Roxy spun in the air twice before touching down on the ground, placing a hand on her left hip. "Roxy." She said. "Fairy of Animals."
The guys were speechless, but then they saw the next bubble explode in fuchsia sparkles, revealing the next fairy. Her outfit changed into a glittery turquoise-blue midriff-baring tube top, of sorts, with a glittery lime green elbow-length right sleeve, and a pair of glittery turquoise-blue pants that stop below her knees with lime green tutu-styled ruffles on both the bottom of the pants and around the waist below a glittery teal waistband. Her feet are covered in a pair of shin-length, teal and pink high-heeled, lime green platform boots, and her hair is now at ankle-level with pink highlights with a turquoise blue band atop her head. A glittery lime green choker with golden diamonds hanging down from it is around her neck, and on her left arm in an elbow-length, handless peach-colored glove while a lime green bangle is on her right wrist with a light fuchsia fin-shaped bow hanging from it. On her eyelids is light pink and on her lips is hot pink, and her glittery large wings are now arch-shaped and lined in glittery turquoise-green with a shifting sea green and ocean blue-designed background. She has no mask, so they can see exactly who this is.
"Aisha?" Nabu whispered in shock.
She fluttered in the air for a moment before landing, cocking her left hip out and placing a hand on it. "Aisha. Fairy of Waves."
The next bubble exploded in violet sparkles, showing the next fairy. Her outfit changed into a short-sleeved, form-fitting, turtleneck outfit, of sorts, with peach extensions on her arms, three sections cut out of her sleeves like stripes, the top half being a glittery lavender while the bottom is more violet and shaped like hot pants with a neon green chord wrapped from the top of her left breast over her right shoulder and back down around under the bust, and a neon green, blue-studded belt around her hips with violet ruffles lining the right side. Fingerless violet biker gloves are on her hands, and below-the-knee lavender socks are under a pair of indigo and white lace-up, platform high-heeled ankle boots with lilac-white heels. Her hair tapers to a point on both sides of her face, giving her a sophisticated look, and on her eyelids is pale lavender eyeshadow and on her lips is magenta lipstick. Her large, glittery butterfly-shaped wings are lined in glittery purple and fade from the middle to the tips in rose pink, chartreuse, and neon green with purple drop decorations, and her hind wings are purple frames of would-be wings. She's also wearing no mask.
"Tecna?" Timmy whispered, like Nabu did.
She flapped her wings before landing, cocking her left hip out, placing her left hand on it and flaring her right arm out to the side. "Tecna. Fairy of Technology."
The next bubble exploded in magenta-red sparkles, showing the next fairy. Her outfit starts out with a glittery magenta midriff-baring tank top, with only the left strap holding it up, though a thin pale pink strap is seen on her right, and a glittery blue strip of cloth that attaches to a choker around her neck connects back to the bust; she wears glittery magenta hot pants with a glittery azure blue belt over a pair of glittery pale purple-blue capris with a transparent glittery gossamer ruffled skirt tied behind her hips. She wears a pair of below-the-elbow, fingerless pale pink gloves, and bright red platform heels with pale pink bottoms and ruffled red ankle socks. Her hair is left down, straight, with a magenta pink headband and a thin, braided ponytail on the right side of her head, and on her eyelids is white eyeshadow and her lips have magenta lipstick on them. Her large, glittery wings are butterfly-shaped but the ends are rounded up, sporting a music-note shape, and are lined in glittery magenta-red with purple-blue on the inside and dangling blue pieces. No mask is on her face.
"Musa?" Riven whispered.
Musa landed, cocked her left hip way out and laid her left hand on it and rested her right hand on her knee. "Musa. Fairy of Music."
The bubble next to her exploded with light green sparkles, displaying the next fairy. Her outfit changed into a glittery pink and fuchsia, petal-themed sleeveless—with a root-themed hook around her neck—midriff-baring top, and a glittery pink, petal-shaped miniskirt with a yellow string tying it in place and glittery lime green frills underneath. She wears purple/pink flower-themed wristbands on her wrists, and below-the-knee pink, fuchsia, and white platform high-heeled boots over glittery light pink knee-high socks on her feet. Half her hair is in a pair of buns sporting turquoise-blue bows atop her head while the rest of her hair is down with peach highlights and red and purple flowers decorating it, and pink eyeshadow is on her eyelids and pink lipstick is on her lips. Her large, glittery wings are leaf-shaped and lined in glittery emerald with clover shapes lined in jade within the background of the wings fading from hot pink on the bottom to orange in the middle to yellow on top with purple leaf "piercings" along the sides of the wings. She is wearing no mask.
"Flora?" Helia whispered in disbelief.
Flora landed on the ground, cocked her left hip out, placed her left hand under her chin, looking rather coy, and rested her right hand on her leg. "Flora. Fairy of Nature."
The next bubble exploded in yellow sparkles, showing the next fairy. Her midriff-baring top is a glittery orange off-the-shoulder with a glittery purple midriff-baring tank top beneath, the straps and bottom visibly sticking out from under the top shirt, and a glittery orange miniskirt with glittery pink frills underneath and a glittery purple bow around her hips. She gains a pair of glittery peach-colored bands on her arms, starting from the back of her hands to mid-forearm, and her sandals have been replaced with a pair of knee-high, glittery orange socks under a pair of plum purple and white platform, high-heeled ankle boots with yellow bottoms. Half of her hair goes up into two pigtails styled high upon her head, held by red star-shaped ornament ties, while the rest of her hair stays down, then grows in length and earns a few bleach-blonde highlights, and on her eyelids is pale aqua eyeshadow and on her lips is peach lipstick. Her large, glittery butterfly-shaped wings are glittery bright orange with tints of yellow and purple and are decorated on the inside with stars and have three gold stars hanging off each side. She's wearing no mask.
"Stella?" Brandon whispered.
She landed with her feet crossed, right in front of the left, and had both arms above her head. "Stella. Fairy of the Shining Sun."
The last bubble finally popped in an explosion of orange sparkles, but a red-orange, fiery dragon kept circling around the occupant, like it was guarding her. She wears a midriff-baring top, with puffy shoulders, that is pink on top—with peach-colored elbow-length sleeves—and glittery blue on the bottom with a blue heart in the center, and her miniskirt is poofy and tutu-like, colored glittery blue with a dark blue heart on each hip that holds a pair of glittery purple bows in place and a matching glittery purple band above layered ruffles that are glittery blue on top and glittery pink on the bottom. Her wrist gloves are fingerless and glittery light blue in color, and her shoes are a pair of platform heels, colored pink with a blue heel and toe and very light blue heels slipped over knee-high glittery pink socks that have two dark pink stripes on the top. Her hair is knee-length and has a pair of small braids in back that connect to a golden heart barrette, and on her eyelids is pink eyeshadow and her lips have bubblegum-pink lipstick. Her large, glittery butterfly-shaped wings are lined in glittery blue with a pale blue and pink interior, pink heart shapes and small dark blue heart gems decorating the wings themselves. She's wearing no mask.
"Bloom?" Sky whispered, though he suspected, given the other six.
She landed on her feet, put her wrist on her left hip and flung her right arm out to the side. "Bloom. Fairy of the Dragon Flame."
"Oh my," Nabu started, eyes wide. "That's it."
"What?" Sky said dazedly, eyes still on Bloom.
"Her power." Nabu said, shaking his head. "Helia. Sky. Don't you recognize the name?" They gave him twin looks of confusion. "She has the power of the Dragon Flame!"
Helia's eyes widen as he realized what Nabu was saying, but Sky still didn't get it, his mind still a little jumbled.
"The Dragon Flame is from the Great Dragon." Nabu reminded him.
"Oh." Sky said, realization hitting him. "Oh! I thought all the Flame was destroyed when Domino was destroyed? That's what my parents always said."
"Apparently not, since Bloom has every last drop of it in her." Nabu said in awe. "She is the Flame's guardian, making her one powerful fairy."
With the Winx...
"We have our Believix." Musa said in amazement. "How?"
"It felt like all the forces of nature were in harmony with each other for one amazing moment." Flora said, hugging herself.
"And look at these outfits!" Stella squealed.
"Questions later, girls." Bloom said after looking herself over. "We still have a rock creature to defeat."
"Oh, right." Stella said before facing the last standing creature. "Hey ugly!"
"Good approach, Stella." Tecna said.
"Always works." Stella said with a shrug.
"We don't have time to mess around. We're going to hit it with a convergence attack spell." Bloom said and then saw the creature coming. "Ready?" The others nodded and they all flew up to circle the creature from the sky. "Okay...now!"
"Autumn Wind." Flora said, sending a breeze made of colorful flowers at the creature, blanketing it in a constricting flowery mist.
"Mega-Watt." Tecna said, shooting a green ball of electrical energy at it.
"Morphix Wave." Aisha said, sending a deep purple ball full of Morphix at the creature.
"Harmonic Attack." Musa said, sending a purple ball of sound energy at it.
"Sun Dance." Stella said, shooting a yellow and purple ball of sun energy at the creature.
"Wolf Talon." Roxy said, sending an aquamarine blast, shaped like a wolf, at it.
"Fire Arrow!" Bloom shouted, sending a ray of fire out, hitting the creature. Once Bloom's attack hit, the attack spells converged together in the creature, causing it to explode.
"There." Aisha said, taking in a deep breath. "We did it."
Since, as I said in the summary, this story is slightly AU, I had Arcadia in charge of giving the Winx (or fairies in general) their new powers.
