Icy watched the girls as they were getting a hang of the beams. It was hard, but at least they stood a chance in battle. It was hard for Icy to get the hang of it when the Brothers taught it to her, except they were learning how to resist it a lot faster than she did. Who would of thought a bunch of fairies could have had so much power inside of them? And she thought they had been dead this whole time!
Icy fired one last beam to each of them and finally they had got it. Bloom was on her knees and stood up with strength as she took out all of the beams energy inside her and shot it out of her. She no longer could feel any pain what so ever, she smiled proudly looking at Faragonda.
Stella was next, she was still of her feet but that just made it harder for her. I can do this, she thought to herself. Then, as though the sun had went inside of her, she pulled the energy out of her body and her Winx was back to normal. She smiled and looked at her hands, "Stella, you are awesome!"
Layla had been blocking the beam with a shield, but it had gotten through. She fell to her knees as the beam was draining her Winx slowly. No, I will not back down, now that I have been working so hard. This is for my planet! With one tug the beam was release from within her and she slowly stood up, "Yes!"
Tecna had thought of this logically, but that wasn't working as well as she thought it would. What was the beams weakness? Everything has a weakness to it, so she had to figure that out. The beam was draining her Winx slowly, and yet it seemed so fast, No! you will not drain me! I have more strength than you! I am not going down that easily! The beam was released out of her and she looked up at her friends and smiled.
Flora had felt the pain at the start, she had no shield or anything, she just let it start t o consume her. I hate this feeling, I just wish it would go away, but I can't give up! Not when my friends are counting on me, not when Musa is counting on me! Get out of me! The beam flew out of her like it did the rest and she stood up and smiled at her friends who had large smiles on there faces as well.
"So have you figured out its weakness yet?' said Icy. The girls all looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. "Well you have had to figure it out because all of you released it when it was inside you. What were you thinking when it was starting to drain your power?"
"I was thinking that I could do it," said Stella.
"I was thinking of my planet." Said Layla.
"I was thinking of the strength all of us have," said Tecna.
"I was thinking of my friends," said Flora.
"And I was thinking of all of us together fighting, like we used too, " said Bloom.
"All in all, you have figured it out. Its weakness is hope. The beams have dark magic and they only run on dark magic, so if you are thinking bad thoughts, the beams will spread. But when you think of hope or you believe in yourself, the beams will lose their power. All of you thought about hope, so you learned to restrain the beams," said Icy, a little disgusted that she was talking about hope. She thought hope was a waste of time, and that is why she didn't learn how to beat dark magic as much as they did. "It took me a while to figure that out."
Musa smiled at them when they figured it out. It was kind of mean that Icy didn't tell them before that hope could stop it, she just let them feel the pain in the process and let them figure it out on there own. Not usually the way a fairy teaches another, but Icy was a witch. Maybe that was the way she was taught with Griffin. She walked over to them.
"Hey guys, I just dropped the shield so they won't have to waste their time trying to get to Melody. It will be easier this way," said Musa.
"We have finally got it Musa! Watch this, throw one at me Icy!" said Stella. Icy rolled her eyes but did as she requested and Icy throw a beam at her. Stella winced in pain for only a second, and then pushed out the beam with ease. "See? Easy as that."
"Very good girls, now why don't you take a break? Lunch is inside waiting for you, along with the boys," said Faragonda.
"And that is our cue to leave! Come on girls," said Stella.
Lunch was served as they ate and ate. Musa sat at her head chair while the others on the sides. The girls were talking to their boyfriends and telling them what they had accomplished that day, while the guys were wincing in pain from all the running that they were doing.
Icy just sat back and watched as she continued to ate; she had never seen people talk so much before in her life. Sure Stormy sometimes wouldn't shut up, but this was just incredible. Stella was the one talking the most, as if that was surprising. Then she thought about it a little more intensely; these were her enemies. She felt disgusted teaching her enemies to defeat dark magic, her magic. She felt irritated when she was around them, but she had to deal with it; her freedom wasn't getting in the way of anything at this point.
But, she still couldn't stand listening to their annoying voices. She sat up and left the table and room, leaving Musa a little intrigued as to where she was going. So she followed her, which just led her to the room right outside. Icy was looking out the window and watched as the rain was finally starting to fall.
"So, is Stella's voice finally getting to you?" she asked her.
"I think all of you are getting to me actually, even the guys."
"Well you could always leave if you wanted to, all the way back to Kurt."
"No way, there is no way I am risking my life for what irritates me, even if it you guys."
"Well if that is all that is bugging you, then I'm going to go back now," Musa said as she started to head back.
"Hold on a second," said Icy as she stopped her in her tracks. Musa looked at her. "How did you know?"
"How did I know what?"
"How did you know that we planted those spells into the ground? It's not like I told you or Kurt did. How did you know?"
"Good ears I guess. I heard Kusac freaking out and he just spilled the beans at the wrong time. They should really learn not to speak so loud, or at least not speak at all when I am there."
"Right, good ears, I understand."
"Is that it?"
"Yeah that's it. I'll head back in there with you," Icy said as she followed Musa in.
MMMMM
"I have never seen this spell before, are you sure it is real?" said Griffin to Icy. It was later in the day and everyone was gathered in a room with a fire being lit in the corner.
"This is the exact spell Kurt used, I am sure of it," replied Icy as she said the spell and made a sphere of energy.
"I have never seen this spell ever before in my life. Are you positive it is real?" said Griffin again.
"Yeah, that is what I said. Kurt said he found it in the Solarian Library, way deep, as if he had found it, where someone had hid it for many years."
"I don't know. Something about this spell just makes it seem normal, like there is nothing special about it."
"Maybe that is why it is so dangerous," added Musa.
"That's what I was thinking. The spells that don't seem dangerous are the ones that do the most damage. That's why it is scary," said Griffin.
"So what are you suggesting we do?" said Faragonda.
"At this point I don't know. Since I am not familiar with the spell, I don't know how to do anything with it. We are just going to have to sit back and watch and hope that our original plan will work." Everyone had a worried look on their face at this point. Kurt had used a spell that no one could decipher and that meant that he was really serious about this.
"So, you are just going to see if your plan will work?" said Icy.
"That's all we can do. If Griffin can't figure it out, then no one can," said Faragonda. Icy simply nodded her head. Al least there was a plan, and it wasn't that complicated either. It should work.
"Well I the mean time, I think that we should continue training. It will be good for us to learn everything we can until they arrive," said Bloom. Stella had a look on her face that was completely the opposite.
"Training? Are you crazy Bloom? It is like raining out there! Let's go shopping instead!" Stella said.
"Um like you said before Stella, it's raining. Why would we go shopping in the rain?" said Layla.
"Um we have gone shopping in the rain before! Just because my mind had been gone for ten years, doesn't mean I don't remember!" replied Stella.
"Actually, I want you girls to stay here, as close as possible to the palace. We don't know when Kurt will strike, and therefore I want you all to stay close. You will not be permitted off the palace grounds. If something should ever happen to you because you were out, I will never forgive myself. I will not make the same mistake I did ten years ago," said Faragonda.
"We understand Ms. Faragonda, we won't go off the grounds," said Bloom after a couple of seconds. Icy had to admit that it was a pretty smart thing to do, considering they didn't know when Kurt would strike at all. That meant she also would be staying on the palace grounds and watched every single little thing that they did. She had to be careful herself.
"So what so we do in the mean time?" asked a very bored Stella.
"We wait Stella, we wait. We can't afford anything getting in our way this time. I believe you girls are now prepared to stand up to them, as long as Musa is at your side. So all we have to do now is just wait," said Faragonda wisely.
"In the meantime, we could always train in the throne room. I mean, we could always train in the rain, but I think it'll be better without the rain. And besides, the room is big, spacious, and if anything gets damaged I could just use my rewind spell to fix everything," said Musa.
"That is a great idea Musa, but if I think it would be good if they were trained in a different climate. It would benefit them," said Faragonda. Then all the girls moaned.
"Hey, don't say I didn't try," said Musa.
UUUUU
Kusac and Alain were walking down to Kurt's room. He had called them down there, but they didn't know why. They looked behind them to see if anyone was following them and then entered his room.
"You called us Kurt?" said Kusac. Kurt was standing up and looking out his window, fully clothed. He was dressed as if he was going somewhere.
"We leave tomorrow," Kurt said simply, not turning his head to look at them.
"What?" said Alain.
"We leave tomorrow," he replied again.
"Really? Uh, wow, um that's cool!" said Alain.
"Yeah Kurt, we didn't think we would leave for weeks or something," said Kusac.
"I only waited for me to have full power when we enter Melody's atmosphere, that is the only reason. I was not going to wait weeks one end… that would have been pointless. I only waited for my powers to be at their peak," he said looking at them. "And whether you know it or not, I also waited for your powers to be at their highest as well."
"Wow Kurt, you think of everything don't you?" said Alain.
"Yes well, now that all of our powers are at their highest, we will leave tomorrow and not waste anymore time," said Kurt.
"Darcy and Stormy are coming with us, right?" asked Kusac, not sure if that was also part of Kurt's plans, leaving them behind that is.
"Yes, they can come with us," said Kurt smiling evilly. And hopefully they will get killed in the process, or I might 'accidentally' hit them with one of my death spells.
"Oh that's cool, I can't wait to tell them the good news," said Alain.
"Yeah, good news," Kurt said with a low voice.
"So how many men are we bringing?" asked Kusac.
"None," replied Kurt.
"None? None! What? None as in no one?"
"That is what I said."
"But Kurt, if something should happen"-
"Nothing is going to happen. If I don't recall, I believe we are the ones with the upper hand here. Musa thinks her planet is about to be blown up, if we bring a whole army with us, then she is going to think something is up," said Kurt.
"How would she know?" asked Alain.
"If we bring a whole army with us, then that tells everyone that we aren't going to blow it up."
"How's that?" asked Kusac.
"Well, if I was really going to blow up the planet, I wouldn't bring all of my men to be blown up as well. Not to mention, if Musa thinks we are going to blow up the planet, don't you think it would be hard just trying to get all of those men off the planet before I do blow it up? That is not the way I am going to go. No, I will have our men prepared on Solaria to take off when we do capture the planet."
"I understand now," said Alain.
"And besides, if anything does go wrong, I have another trick up my sleeve," said Kurt.
"And what would that be? Something else you did not tell us?" annoyed Kusac while crossing his arms.
"Well yes actually. Those spells we planted into the ground weren't just anything. It was my own spell I had created some time ago. What we planted into the ground were actually men, men made out of magic. If worst comes to worst I could always summon them from the ground and attack the planet. But we all know that would never happen, considering our plan is working perfectly."
"So those spells we planted into the ground… was like a whole army then," said Alain.
"Well yeah! It better have been something cool! We spent all freaking day planting those things. I was a little ticked off that we did those things for nothing," said Kusac.
"And as you'll probably realize, I made that spell so if Icy ever told them what kind of spell they planted into the ground, they would never figure it out. I created it and no one even knows about it, until now that is."
"Smart once again Kurt," said Alain.
"Yeah well, I need to prepare more things for tomorrow, so I am going to ask you to leave now. Go talk to your girlfriends or something, but don't tell them about the plan yet," Kurt said, still not trusting those witches. They smiled and hurried left out the door to go to their girlfriend's rooms.
"And in the meantime, I try to think of a way to get rid of Darcy and Stormy," said Kurt.
SSSSS
Kusac and Alain found both of them in Stormy's room this time. Kusac and Alain made sure that they had big smiles on their faces before entering the room though. The witches immediately saw this.
"Are we leaving?" said Stormy with excitement, putting on a fake smile.
"Yeah we are! First thing tomorrow morning!" said Alain with a real smile.
"Oh that's great! We can finally rescue Icy!" said Stormy again.
"Ha! More than that, we are finally going to take over the entire universe!" said Kusac.
"But you are just going to blow up the planet, that is not the same as taking over the whole universe," said Darcy purposely, to see if he would lie to her again.
"Yeah, but we won't have to worry any more disturbances. And besides, it'll be easier with one planet missing," lied Kusac wrapping an arm around her. Darcy also put on a fake smile.
"So what is the plan then?" asked Darcy.
"Uh Kurt will tell you all about that later. It's pretty confusing and I would have a terrible time explaining it to you," said Kusac quickly to her.
"Well I am just glad we are finally leaving. Icy will be with us in no time," said Stormy.
"You said it Stormy," said Alain as he gave her a kiss. "Well we got to go now so we'll see you guys at dinner." Kusac gave Darcy a kiss and left the room. Darcy went over to her doorway to make sure that they left for sure. Their smiles immediately went away and turned into glares.
"We are still on for our plan right Darcy?" asked Stormy.
"Definitely."
AAAAA
It was late at night and everyone was asleep on Melody, all but for one. Musa was on her balcony looking out towards her city, her planet, and her kingdom. All the lights were out but only few. It was still raining, but she didn't care, she just let the rain fall on top of her, getting her soaked.
She felt lonely standing up there all by herself. She wanted Riven to be with her right now, but she knew that he was already fast asleep. Why should she be lonely anymore? She had all that she could ever ask for and more, well now that is. It used to be the complete opposite just a few days ago, but now it was like she couldn't be even happier.
But then she realized that it wasn't loneliness that she was feeling… it was fear. She was afraid that something would happen to her, that something would happen to her friends, that something that would happen to her people, or even worse… everything at the same time. She did not like the fact that everywhere she turned she feared something horrible would happen She was just sick of that feeling.
But along with that fear she felt pain, which would be a stronger amount of fear. She didn't know why or how but… she felt that something horrible was going to happen tomorrow. Why tomorrow? Why not the next day or the next day? No, the feeling was coming from tomorrow, and she didn't know why or how but it was. She was afraid of tomorrow coming.
"Calm down Musa, you're freaking out way too much. Nothing is going to happen. Everything will be fine," she said to herself. She looked out in the distance again to see more lights shut off. She sighed. She knew these feelings only came when something bad was really going to happen. She always thought it was her mother or her father telling her this feeling, as if they were still protecting her.
"I don't know what, but something is going to happen tomorrow, I can just feel it." It had to be true; she only had these feelings on rare occasions. She could tell her parents were trying to tell her something, I am trying to listen, but I don't know what you are telling me… mom… dad. She screamed in her head and her fist pounded on her balcony
She winced at her pain in her hand and frowned at it. She looked at her hand as the rain began to fall in her palm. Suddenly her face started to soften, and then turned into a glare and worry at the same time. Then she looked at they sky, as if she was talking to someone.
"I am ready for you Kurt."
Another Chapter done! This one was a little shorter, but I had to get one more in before Kurt goes to Melody! And yes, that is the next chapter… So anyways yeah! What will happen next? What will Musa do? Will she really believe that they are going to blow up the planet? Find out next chapter! I am sorry but, ONLY A FEW MORE CHPATERS LEFT! So review please!!!!
