Chapter 12: Cloud Tower

They appeared in the castle to drop off Riven, and then they left for Cloud Tower in their Trix forms.

The Trix appeared at Cloud Tower a school for witches. Icy walked up to were the door is and pushed it opened without even knocking.

"This is it, you guys ready."

"Totally."

"Bring it on."

They strolled down the hallway; it was pretty deserted so Icy guessed they were all in an assembly, but once they went to the lounge, they saw that all the witches were eating lunch. The Trix walked in the middle of the room laughing. Icy looked up and saw Ms. Griffin sitting where the teachers sit in the lounge.

"You three, what are you doing here?" Ms. Griffin asked as she got out of her chair.

"We're here to visit our 'favorite' headmistress," Darcy replied in her sarcastic tone while Stormy snickered.

"We're also here to show off our new powers. The Dragon Fire is actually ours and Bloom is dead," Icy exclaimed flashing an evil smile at the witches.

"I am very surprise to see…wait you have the Dragon Fire?"

"Yep, this time we have even better powers than before."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's show them, Icy," Stormy and Darcy said at the same time

"POWERS OF DARKNESS COMBINE!" the Trix yelled together.

Again they changed out of their witch forms and into their guardian forms.

"That's better," Vereist said as she pulled out her sword.

"What…what are you?" Ms. Griffin asked nervously as she glanced at the three warriors.

"Not what, but who," Osuritá replied, "We're the Guardians of Darkness and are here to rule the universe."

"Again," the whole lounge moaned and groaned when they heard Osuritá answer.

"What's the matter afraid?" Osuritá taunted as she smiled coyly at the witches.

Osuritá loved the scared expression on each witches' face. Last time she was one of the Trix members and she helped her sisters control the Army of Decay against Magix's.

"Don't worry the Army of Decay was so lame anyways," Tempesta assured the frightened witches.

"This time we'll do it our way," Vereist said grinning at her sisters, "Guardians, you know what to do."

The trio lifted their hands into the air and darkness filled the lounge. Nobody was able to see anything and the witches started to panic.

"This is too much darkness," one replied.

"How can we see?" another complained.

"I thought you liked darkness," Osuritá smirked at the cowering witches.

"We like it, but I can't see a thing," a witch called out through the darkness.

"Too bad," Vereist laughed, "Osuritá, you finish the job."

Suddenly the air tightened around the witches, they started gasping and wheezing trying to suck in every precious breath of air.

"I … can't… breathe," they all cried out in alarm.

"This is my favorite witch attack," Osuritá's voice was carried through the darkness like a ghost whispering, "DEADLY NIGHTSHADE!"

The Guardians of Darkness heard screams and shrieks as the witches suffered in the darkness. Osuritá was very pleased she loved it when others suffer greatly especially in her own attack. After ten minutes silence filtered the whole room and Osuritá absorbed the darkness into her body.

The trio looked around and saw the witches lying everywhere with ghostly white faces. Tempesta walked over and press her finger to a witch's neck.

"They're dead," she announced triumphantly.

"Finally," Vereist growled, "Cloud Tower is now ours. Next is Alfea."

"No need," Osuritá said, "when I was in my Trix form, I conjured a spell so that now Alfea burns with all the pixies tramped inside. Magix is now ours to rule."

"Excellent work, Osuritá, I am very proud of you," Vereist said as she placed a hand on Osuritá shoulder.

"Hey, no one burns Alfea and gets away with it," an angry voice spoke up.

Vereist spun around, there standing in the entrance way was the bluish-black haired musical pixie named Musa.

"Osuritá, I will let you deal with her. Since you always wanted to kill her now here's your chance."
