Disclaimer: I do not own Winx Club. I am completely out of jokes for these. I've got nothing.
Okay, I should probably clarify what's up with fairies, witches, pixies, etc. Most modern day magical beings have no blood relationship with the original magical beings. Instead, they get their powers from the Blessing of Magic Allanya gave to each realm before returning to Univix. However, the powers' structures are dictated by the original magic users. Because the first witch and the first fairy were sisters, fairies and witches are able to change from one to the other. It's the way the powers are structured, and not because of any family relationship.
One last bit of comic relief before things get serious, so enjoy it while it lasts.
"So you're suggesting we call ourselves the Classix?" Dhalia asked.
"Yes." Artis said with enthusiasm. "Our powers come from the original source of magic. The first and oldest fairy transformation. The classic transformation."
"Perdi? What do you think of this?"
"It's not a bad name." Perdi said. "And it does hold a lot of meaning."
"True." Dhalia said. "Well, I think it's a fairly good name too. When Amelia and Reyva get back we'll see what they think, but unless they strongly object, Classix it is."
"Alright!" Artis exulted. "And when do-"
"Hush!" Perdi hissed.
"What is it?" Dhalia asked.
"Someone's coming. And they aren't being slowed down by the barrier we put up to keep out humans."
"A magical being then." Dhalia said, slipping back into her role as leader. "Can you tell who it is?"
"No. The person's mind is strongly shielded."
"Eclipsis?" Artis asked.
"Maybe." Perdi said. "I could contact the others."
"Let's find out what we're dealing with first. Artis and I will go in first. Perdi, stay back until we know what we're dealing with. If it is Eclipsis, tell Amelia and Reyva to get back here as fast as possible."
"Got it."
"Which way are they coming from?"
"West. They're heading straight for us."
"Are any of our-" Artis was interrupted by a blinding flash of light. "-traps there..." She finished weakly.
"We'd better go see who it is." Dhalia said.
"Let's go Magix!"
(Cue transformation music)
Three fairies flew towards the source of the light.
"So what do you want to get from here?" Reyva asked as the two fairies exited the portal.
"My old earrings." Amelia answered.
"Why would you want those?" Reyva asked. "One of them is broken, and the other one can't hope to match your powers as a Magix fairy."
"I just feel like it's important that I have them. I don't want to use them, I just think I should have them with me." With that the fairy of magic vanished into her dorm room for a moment. When she emerged she was holding a small box. "I think they still have a role to play."
Reyva rolled her eyes. "Well you have them, so let's get back to Earth."
"Good idea."
"Spacial Rift!"
The two fairies stepped through the portal.
Amelia and Reyva appeared in the center of the camp.
"Hey, where are the others?" Reyva asked.
"You don't think they were attacked?" Amelia said worriedly.
"Can you sense their magic?"
"No, the seal is giving off too much interference. I could sense Eclipsis, but that's it."
"Then we'll have to search for them the hard way." Reyva said.
Suddenly the air was full of laughter.
"That sounded like... Dhalia?" Amelia asked.
"It came from over that way." Reyva said. "Spacial Rift!" The two girls stepped through another portal, emerging to the most bizarre sight they'd ever laid eyes on.
Dhalia was on the ground laughing uncontrollably while Artis was almost as bad. Perdi was trying to scowl at the two of them, but the effect was ruined by her barely controlled giggles. And the source of all this mirth was none other than Nebula. The former regent of the fairies of Earth was caught under a net of electrical energy. Despite this less than dignified position, she was doing her best to chew Dhalia out.
"-And what kind of fairy uses magical traps anyways? It's dishonorable, and furthermore, it should be beneath any self-respecting fairy's-" Her tirade continued for several minutes, during which all five Magix fairies were reduced to helpless laughter. "-Now get me out of here!"
"Y-y-y-yes," Dhalia managed to get out through her laughter, "right-, right away." She snapped her fingers and the net dissolved.
"I do not see the humor in this." Nebula said in a stern voice. "This isn't funny."
"Oh, yes it is!" Artis said, descending back into hysterical giggling.
"Can we at least take this somewhere more comfortable?" The dark haired fairy asked. "Crossing the Atlantic took a toll on my wings."
"Right this way." Dhalia said, still laughing occasionally.
"So what are you doing here anyways?" Perdi asked. "We thought you'd be back at Tir Nan Og with the other fairies to protect the seal there."
"Every other major fairy on Earth is there. Even Eclipsis should have a hard time getting past that." Nebula said. "Queen Roxanne instructed me to follow you. My original plan was to be nearby in case you needed help, but not close enough that you'd know I was here. It would have worked too, if it weren't for the fact that you have no sense of decency!"
"Actually, Perdi sensed you almost a full minute before you hit the trap." Artis said.
"That's not the point!" Nebula was not amused.
"The point is, we can take care of ourselves." Amelia said in a stony voice. "You should go back to Tir Nan Og. We can take care of the seal here."
"I'm afraid I can't do that. My queen has given me explicit instructions to help protect the seal here."
"...Alright." Amelia acquiesced. "But if Eclipsis does show herself, she's ours."
"I understand. I'm just here in case something goes wrong."
"Good. Now, if you could give us some privacy, there's something the five of us need to talk about."
"Very well. If you need me, I shall be searching for any other traps you may have left lying around."
"Just watch out for the one by the bushes there." Dhalia said, pointing. "It's a little sensitive..."
"Duly noted." The Earth fairy stalked off.
"I'm surprised there wasn't any smoke coming out of her ears." Reyva said.
"So, Amelia, what did you find out on your trip?" Dhalia asked.
"We learned where the entrance to Altivix is."
"Which is?"
"Omega."
"Oh. I take it we'll be needing winter gear then."
"No. It's in the deepest part of Omega. No one can survive down there without magic."
"And not many can with magic." Artis said.
"Tecna did." Perdi offered.
"Tecna is the fairy of Technology." Dhalia said. "She built herself a device to keep herself warm."
"So can we." Perdi replied.
"Do you know how?" Amelia asked.
"Yes, but I don't think I have the skill to do it myself."
"I've always been pretty good with small machines." Artis said. "I'm not the best at circuits and electronic stuff, but I'm very good with things like glasses or clocks."
"And I can handle electricity fairly well." Dhalia said. "We're going to need some parts."
"I'm sure I can borrow what we need from the workshop at Red Fountain." Reyva said. She did get along fairly well with the Specialists of Red Fountain, although several of those friendships had come at the expense of a few broken bones and even more bruised egos.
"Good." Dhalia said. "That handles that side of things. Now, how are we going to get Eclipsis to Omega?"
"We're going to have to use convergence." Amelia said. "It's going to take all five of us to keep her in check."
"I'm not sure even that will be enough." Perdi said. "Every fairy she's ever fought has lost, and lost badly."
"Do you have a better suggestion?" Artis asked in a sharp tone.
"...No."
"Well then, Reyva, if you could get us those parts we need, Artis and I can start building those devices. Perdi, you should go with her, you know what we actually need."
"I'll keep watch for Eclipsis." Amelia said.
"Oh, one last item on the agenda," Dhalia said, "Artis has suggested a name for us."
"Oh?" Reyva asked. "What is it?"
"Classix." Artis said. "Because our powers are the classic fairy transformation."
"Sounds good to me." Reyva said. "Amelia?"
"I like it."
"Then that makes five of us." Dhalia said. "We are now the Classix!"
The next few days were filled with boredom for Amelia and Reyva. Reyva and Perdi made a quick trip to Red Fountain to grab the necessary components, then came back. Perdi, Artis, and Dhalia immediately set about making five small devices that would protect them from the deadly chill of the Omega Dimension. However, this left Amelia and Reyva with nothing to do. Finally, they started using Stonehenge to play magical ball games. It was particularly interesting when Reyva started incorporating her portals into the course.
Nebula however, kept to herself. Every night she'd contact Roxy, but nothing of any interest happened. The tension continued to mount, as everyone waited for Eclipsis to make her next move.
Then, a few weeks later, they got what they were waiting for.
A/N: Okay, I know, cliff hanger. I couldn't resist. Anyways, they now have a plan, and a means of surviving the deadly cold of Omega, but will their plan work? Eclipsis has been going through fairies like tiger goes through rabbits. Can she be defeated by five young girls? I guess we'll find out.
