Sorry I havn't updated, I had a science assignment due tuesday, 3 social studies case study questions due tomorrow and an essay due friday. It's been hectic. I barely got enough sleep these days.

To starla: I recomend you sign up for Fanfiction, then I could get to know you better and you won't have to talk to me in your reviews, you could send me personal messages through my profile. I wish you could.

But anyway...


Chapter Twelve

The ruins of Alfea were covered in flames, and the library illusion had disappeared. Galatea had collapsed in pure pain and exhaustion, there were tears in her eyes, thinking she could do nothing to save her closest friend. Suddenly she heard a faint noise in the distance, but ignored it. Bloom, Sky and the others were in one of Bloom's shields to protect them from the heat. They raced through the flames to get to Musa and Galatea.

"Galatea! It's Bloom, can you hear me?!" Bloom called out.

"Musa!" Riven yelled eagerly, "Where are you?!"

"I'm over here Bloom!" Galatea coughed weakly, "I can't fly, Baltor pulled my wings off!"

"Oh no." Flora cried. They came closer to Galatea and Musa, then Riven felt like he would have a heart attack when he saw Musa's burnt skin.

"Musa! No!" He called, picking her up out of the fire."Come on sweetie, we're help fix your wings." Flora gave Galatea a hand and helped her into the shield, once everyone saw Musa, they gasped.

"Ow, that has to hurt." Stella replied painfully.

"Let's rest these two in the ship, then go back to cloud tower and find the girls' powers." Sky instructed.

"And free Ms Feragonda too!" Layla added.

"Then hopefully we can help Tecna, it seems we're just waiting for something, but if she doesn't wake up soon, we'll have to do something." Bloom panicked.

"It'll be okay Bloom, you saw her, she's getting there. She just needs a little more time." Sky reassured her by giving her a hug.

"Let's just hope Timmy can be reassured just as easily as I can." Bloom smiled up at him. Then she looked back into the flames.

"If only I had my magic, I could put out this fire." she sighed. They got back to the squad ship where Timmy was still as anxious as ever, watching over his beautiful technology princess. She was so still, so peaceful, yet only beginning to live again.

"If you don't get of this, I've proven to myself that I don't deserve to wear this uniform, because I can't even protect the love of my life from harm." he began quietly, "I'm just so wimpy that I let someone get away with the cruellest thing in the universe, hurting you." His heart sank as he pictured the condition she was in when he first found her. He gently gathered her in his arms for the tenth time since he found her, he cradled her head against his chest, he asked himself numerous times why he let this happen, but he was only putting it all on himself because he loved her so much. Holding her close, he closed his eyes and thought of every moment they've spent together, he only wished she'd awaken so that the image of her so lifeless would vanish. He remembered their first official kiss, after it, everything else he attempted to do for her felt mind blowing, even for himself. It wasn't just the things he did for her, but it was her, herself, that blew his mind. Yes, he had told her how he felt about her sacrifice, but he hadn't told her just how much he loved her. That smile drove him nuts, her voice could bring him back from any thought. It was just too bad her voice wasn't the one that broke his thoughts.

"Timmy, we saved Galatea and Musa, all we need to do is get the girls' powers." Sky announced, racing in the ship with Bloom following. Flora helped Galatea to an extra blanket in the back next to Tecna, as did Riven with Musa."Helia, could you tend to Galatea for me?" Flora asked as Helia bent down to look at Galatea, who was laying on her stomach. He felt her back gently, trying not to touch her wounds.

"You're bleeding." He told her.

"I am?" Galatea asked painfully, she knew she was hurt, but she had no idea that there was blood were her wings were ripped off.

"Musa's burns look really bad." Flora replied sadly.

"Well, we may have three patients to take to the Magix Hospital." Brandon pointed out, Timmy let out a heavy sigh and Riven tried so hard not to think about breaking something.

"Tecna doesn't look as bad as she did, she could wake up in less then an hour." Sky looked over from the wheel, he knew Timmy was eating himself inside out for this, and he knew if anything like that happened to Bloom, he would feel the same way.

"Its her legs, Sky. The scratches could be infected." Timmy informed worriedly, "And I want to make sure she isn't sick."

"So what's the plan?" Layla asked.

"We can't put these three in danger anymore, we have to take them to Magix before we can get your powers." Helia replied.

"Guys, the witches are after us, I can see 'em on the monitor." Brandon panicked.

"Just great, they'll wait for us to take off, then try to shoot us down." Bloom hissed angrily."We can't put these girls in any more danger!" Riven snapped, "Follow my plan and we can get Musa, Galatea and Tecna out of squad ship without being seen. Their unconsciousness and injuries guarantee they'll be targeted." Riven cringed at the fact that he was talking about Musa as well as Galatea and Tecna, but he shook it off.

"So what's the plan?" Sky asked.

"Helia, Timmy and I will take Galatea, Tecna and Musa for help. Sky and Brandon, protect the other girls and prevent them from getting hurt." Riven explained."I can't leave Flora, she has no powers, the witches are about to attack and you expect me to leave her! I don't think so Riven!" Helia shouted.

"Fine Helia, Flora can come with us, we might need her sweet talk for somethin'" Riven sighed as he picked up Musa in his arms, Timmy did the same with Tecna and Helia helped Galatea to her feet. The escaped through the back of the ship with Flora following. Once they we well hid and into the forest, the ship took off…
