Note: Here is chapter 11. Enjoy!
"Winx Convergence!" the seven girls shouted as they let out a massive blast of energy shot out at the door.
"Yes we did it! Our first convergence" Rosie said with glee to see the doors busted down.
"Yea, that felt amazing." Celeste said as she felt a bit woozy for a moment.
"Come on. I have a plan." Melody said and stepped out the room. She saw nobody in the hallway and she didn't hear any footsteps coming. They must be on Sparks.
"What is it?" Victoria asked and also observe the emptiness of the hallway.
"Lets get our parents" Melody responded
"How are we going to get to Sparks?"
"No not them. Our real parents. The signal located them here on Eva"
"But…."
"I know but we didn't check too well the last time. They are below the castle and the twins' gadgets at the time weren't strong enough to pick up the signal." Melody interrupted, knowing what she was about to say.
"Okay so how do we get there?"
"I don't know but Orgone must have some secret pathway."
"Now if I was an evil warlock, where would I keep a secret passageway to my prisoners" Celeste said. The girls glanced at each other, already knowing the answer to it. During the time they were servants of the castle, they noticed one place Orgone would mostly be at.
"His office!"
"Come on then" Victoria said and they all began to run down the hallway. Hallway after hallway, they finally reached their destination. The bloody red doors were close like always. Victoria hesitated to approach it, but nothing happen when she touched the doorknob. She sighed in relief before she turned the knob and opened the door. There was Orgone's office. A desk cover with papers, a giant bookshelf fill with books, and a glowing crystal ball that flash events going on different planets. There were other things around but what bothered the girls were the walls cover with several types of weapons.
"I guess even evil warlocks have hobbies." Celeste tried to joke. She shivered at the sight of the frightening weapons and started to wonder if Orgone ever actually use them on people. The thought only made her shiver even more.
"Okay lets…start looking around." Victoria stuttered out, but she was also disturbed by the weapons.
"For what?" Maya asked
"I don't know. Something that could trigger to open the pathway." Victoria replied. She began to check the wall, hoping the same thing will happen like what Melody did on planet Melody. Each one began picking away at the things around the office. Maya took one by one the books off the bookshelf. The twins went through his desk to see if anything could help them. Celeste and Rosie looked through the other objects that were in the room. Victoria soon realized that Melody was distracted.
"Whats wrong Mel?" Victoria asked
"This sword…It..it looks familiar." Melody stuttered out and pointed at a scimitar style sword mounted on the wall. The wall had other weapons that weren't as gruesome as the rest of the weapons in the room. Melody touched the handle, which had a design of a red and blue dragons intertwine on it. When she lifted it off the wall, the bookshelf slide and revealed a secret staircase.
"We found it" Celeste cheered.
"We? I think it was I who found it" Melody said
"Well lets go" Maya said
"Hold on, you should grab some weapons." Melody suggested "We can't count on our magic, remember last time. This planet drains our magic and we also used a lot of it to create that convergence." Maya and the twins nodded and each grabbed a weapon. Bailey found a metal bow and matching arrows while Bridget got a laser gun off the same wall where Melody got the sword. Maya picked a gold staff with a large purple gem at the tip.
"A staff?" Melody questioned
"I'm good with bo staffs and this is the closes thing to it. Plus I felt like it was calling me." Maya said. For an ordinary staff, Maya could feel something magical about it.
"Okay then" Melody said and turned to the other three who hadn't pick out a weapon. "What about you three?"
"We don't know how to use these weapons. We never been trained to use these things like you, Maya, and the twins were." Celeste said
"Just grab something to defend yourself with. Our magic won't last long especially for you since there is no sun here and who knows how long we will be down there to find our parents." Melody argued.
"Okay your right" Celeste admitted. She stared over at the wall were the girls got there weapons from and noticed the beautiful carvings on a broadsword. She picked it up and even though it was a bit heavy, she liked it for some reason. Victoria grabbed the weapon above where Celeste picked her sword from. It was a longsword but at the pommel of it, there was a symbol on it. Victoria felt she knew the symbol but couldn't think of where she recognized it from. Last who was left was Rosie, who wasn't moving to get anything.
"Uhm Rosie, you going to pick out something." Melody asked
"No thank you"
"Why not?"
"I..I don't like swords" Rosie replied, ashamed of herself but she couldn't bring herself to even touch a sword.
"Rosie. You need something to protect yourself with." Melody said, trying to be patient with her.
"How about this?" Rosie said as she grabbed a clear plastic case off the wall that had gloves in it. She tried them on and at first they were big on her but it suddenly reshaped itself to fit her hands.
"Those aren't weapons but fine I'm not going to force you to do something you are uncomfortable with." Melody said with a big sigh.
"Thank you" Rosie said relieved.
"Now come on, we're wasting time.". Carefully they stepped into the passage. When they reached the bottom of the staircase, they were disappointed.
"Oh great. Which way now?" Celeste huffed to see the bottom divide into 3 hallways.
Elsewhere
The group had landed the ship outside in a field in the middle of the forest behind the castle of Sparks. Bloom had noticed the events happening on her planet and became overwhelmed by it. To her it just seem she saved her planet a few months ago and now it was once again under a dark spell. Sky noticed and hugged her.
"You okay?" He asked when he let her go.
"I'm fine" Bloom smiled, happy to see her boyfriend worry about her. She didn't like lying to him but she had to focus on the mission. "Anyways, we just go through the forest and we should reach the backside of the castle." Bloom turned around and told the others. They nodded their heads and began to run quickly through the forest. Once they passed through, they reached the garden that separated the forest and castle. The group hid behind some bushes and were able to see the back entrance. They were glad to see only a few soldiers guarding the back entrance of the castle instead of the merewolves.
"I'm going to cause a distraction and everybody run in once the soldiers leave their post." whispered Sky before he left. The group stayed behind the bushes and waited for the distraction. Than a noise was heard on the other side of the garden. The soldiers became alert and walk over to it, leaving the entrance unattended. The group quickly ran in but Bloom stop.
"Wait what about Sky?" Bloom asked and looked back. After a few seconds, Sky came running in and grabbed Bloom's hand.
"Nice of you to wait on me" Sky said and Bloom smiled back.
"Where do we go from here?" asked Musa
"These stairs leads to the level where the throne room is." Bloom said
"Where do they keep prisoners?" Ryan asked
"I don't know. I thought you would know."
"No, I haven't been here in almost nine years" Ryan sadly admitted. This castle hadn't been his home in years. He felt just as lost as them.
"I guess we have no other choice but to go to the throne room. But before we go, we should transform to be prepare." Tecna suggested. The girls agreed and transformed into their fairy forms. They flew up the stairs while the Specialists ran. The staircase lead them to a giant hallway with giant double doors at the end of it. Slowly did Sky and Brandon opened the heavy door, while everybody had their weapons out ready. They slowly stepped in and noticed that nobody was there.
"I'm not liking this. This place is giving me the creeps" Stella shivered as she felt a chill go down her spine. She noticed the room looked completely different then what she remember it to be from her visits.
"If he is not here, where else are we suppose to find him" Layla said annoyed.
"You just got to look harder" a male voice said. A man stood at the top of the stairs connected with the platform of the thrones. He walked down the stairs calmly, but immediately everyone felt the massive dark vibes coming out from him. This is the man that everybody feared of.
"I wasn't expecting you to arrive so soon." he said once he reached the thrones to sit down.
"Orgone! Where are the girls?" Roxy shouted
"Queen Roxy, surprise to see you here. Don't worry. They are perfectly fine." Orgone replied, giving a sly smile. Roxy growled and got into her fighting position.
"Do you really think I will be alone." Orgone smirked and snapped his fingers. In just seconds, several merewolves came through the doors behind the group. The boys formed around the girls, holding their swords out ready to slice away at the creatures.
"That's not going to help. Give up while you can and simply listen to my proposal."
"What is it that you want?" Bloom asked
"For you all to go back to your time". This shocked everybody. Did he just told them to leave. They believed he would ask for them to become his prisoners or give up their powers. But to return to their own time?
"I see you simple minded people don't understand. Well then, let me tell you why. What is the point in having you? I already have your older versions who pack way more power. They are also the ones who rule the planets I have. I can't kill you because that could cause a drastic alteration in the universe that could effect me. And I don't want that after all the hard work I had to go through. You all are of no use to me and I think it would be best if you just leave." Orgone finished in a serious manner.
This of course angered the group, especially Bloom. 'Useless' is the only thing that was burning through her head and she hated it. What bothered her even more is that if they leave, their daughters will be again at his will. Nobody talked but she knew the girls were not going to agree to this plan.
"If you leave, I will let the girls go with Roxy back to Earth." Orgone added. Bloom looked over to Roxy for suggestions but Roxy couldn't help.
"No deal." Bloom finally replied
"Bloom, he said he will let the girls return with Roxy" Stella whispered
"Yes, but I don't trust him. Plus we promised the girls we will help them find their parents and we can't leave until we completed that promise." Bloom whispered back.
"So no deal?" Orgone asked again
"No deal" Roxy replied this time.
"Fine then. I guess I'm going to have to hold you as prisoners until I think of something" Orgone said and once again snapped his fingers. The wolves then began to charge at the group.
"Digital Blast" Tecna sent out a green beam of energy but the merewolves was able to dodge it.
"Winter Rose" Flora called out quickly to get a wall of vines to protect them. Sadly this was of no use when the merewolves quickly slashed down the vines.
"Sonic Attack" Musa said as she shot out a beam and successfully able to hit one, but there were several to take out.
"Don't worry about them. Go for Orgone. We can handle them." Brandon said as he blocked a strike from one of the merewolves.
"Don't worry. Lizzie and I will help" Jazmine said and Lizzie nodded in agreement. The Winx and Roxy then turned to face Orgone.
"Seven against one. Now I don't think that's a fair fight." Orgone frowned
"You're one to talk" Roxy snapped "Scorpion Tail!" Roxy sent out but Orgone was able to deflect the attack.
"Is that it?" Orgone teased before he got up to sent out his own beam of dark energy. It hit Roxy square in the stomach and began to fall down. Jazmine was able to fly over and catch her before she hit the ground.
"You will pay for that. Dragon Heart!" Bloom yelled, furious that Orgone hurt her friend. Orgone was able to block the attack with a shield but he felt it was strong. This angered him. The other five Winx sent out an attack but even at the same time, Orgone was still standing.
"Now its my turn" Orgone smirked. "Poseidon's Trident" he called out and a silver trident appeared in his hand. He pointed it out at the Winx Club and before they knew it, they were hit with a wave of water. The Winx fall to the floor hard by the pressure of the water. They tried to flap their wings fast to shake off the water to fly, but another wave of water hit them. The others went over to help them but were also hit by the water.
"Come on. Don't tell me you can't handle some water" He laughed and let again another wave of water at them. The group where choking on the water and some had already drowned. Layla felt somehow she was able to fight it and gathered all her energy.
"Morphix Wave!" she yelled and created her own wave that hit the wave of water of Orgone's. She was successful to stop Orgone's wave. He than made the Trident disappear and so did the water. The Winx were still wet but able to fly again. But they noticed their boyfriends were badly choking from the water and some of the kids have drowned.
"Double Eclipse" Stella said to form a shield around everybody, when she noticed the merewolves getting close. The wolves hit the shield several time until they were able to shatter it. Bloom had enough and decided it was time.
"Dragon Energy" Bloom shouted and sent out the Dragon Fire at him.
"Dragon Fang" Orgone said and also sent out his version of the Dragon Fire. The two magic beam clashed and caused a huge explosion in the room. The group was blinded from the intense light the explosion gave off. When they were able to look up, they saw Orgone still standing. Not a single scratch on him.
"That didn't work" Bloom said stunned. That was her strongest attack.
"Nope" Orgone replied and started to form a massive ball of dark energy. "I think that's enough. Just give up now before things get ugly."
The merewolves began to close in at the group. The Winx stood up ready to protect the rest but began to worry. They felt low on energy, and feared they weren't going to be able to handle the wolves and Orgone. Suddenly a high pitch scream was heard and the wolves began to back away. Some were whimpering, scratching their ears, or covering it. The sound was not at all pleasant to them. Soon they began to leave not able to bare the sound anymore. Everybody, even Orgone, looked up to see where the sound had come from. There at the top of the stairs, stood Musa. The older Musa.
"Don't you dare touch them."
Note: Please R&R. Hope you enjoyed the chapter.
