Chapter 8: The storm of thunder and technology

I do not own Winx Club, the show belongs to Iginio Straffi

"So, are we going to fight like everyone else or what?" Tecna asked as she was teleported into Torne's realm (she hoped that was the correct name from what she researched about the six generals).

"First, let me give you a little boost to help you traverse this place. It'd be unfair that I would be able to travel anywhere I want; while you are stuck without magic like a sitting duck you know?" The general replied before sending a jolt of electricity towards Tecna.

"Was the shock necessary?" The girl asked after recovering from the shock

"Yes. Unless, you want to be defeated in an instant."

"That is true. So, I guess I'll accept the boost,"

"You know, count yourself lucky that I'm not like somegeneral who would gladly fight their opponent with a major advantage." The general reminded the fairy through gritted teeth.

"Well, aren't you going to teach me how to use it then? You did say you would fight fairly."

"Simple, imagine yourself like electricity, and then focus on a specific point. You should be able to get the hang of it quickly. I'll let you get used to it before we actually start fighting. Don't feel like having you falling out of the sky trying to avoid me."

Tecna closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she looked at the thunder clouds looming over her and Torne. Next thing she knew, she was in one of the clouds.

"Don't forget to keep focusing on the cloud otherwise you are going to fall, I know it sounds tough but you'll get used to it." Torne reminded the girl.

'Wait wha-' Tecna's thought was cut off as she suddenly felt herself falling. Remembering what Torne just told her moments ago, she focused on the same cloud again, and this time once she was in the cloud, she remained focused on it.

"One more thing before we start. Just to make sure you can actually move about, go from the cloud you are currently in, to that cloud over there." Torne told the girl as she pointed over to a faraway cloud.

'Focus Tecna, you can do this. You have to do this, otherwise the demons will win and take over the Magic Dimension.' The girl constantly reminded herself as she moved from one cloud to another, quickly reaching the designated cloud.

"I've reached, are we going to fight now?" Tecna asked the general, who only smirked before vanishing and reappearing right behind her.

"Always been," Torne smirked as she punched Tecna, sending the girl out of the cloud but thankfully she was able to quickly get into another one.

'I have to be careful, she seems to be able to warp very fast, I have to keep my guard up.' The pink haired girl thought to herself as she blocked another attack from the Thunder General.

"You're getting good at this, why don't we spice this up a bit?" Torne asked before firing a thunderbolt straight at Tecna, shocking the girl and causing light grey scales to emerge on her hand.

'If she can do that, I might be able to either send it back at her or send one myself.' Tecna thought as she focused whatever power was in her body at that moment of time as it formed into the shape of an arrow before she sent it flying towards the general.

"I see, you are a fast learner, but you really will have to try much harder as such a small attack won't do anything to me." The two then proceeded to move back and forth, firing electricity at each other, that was until a crazy idea struck Tecna.

'It's a viable idea but if I mess up, I don't know how well things will work out.' She thought as she began catching Torne's thunderbolts and forming them into one bigger javelin.

"You seem to be catching my attacks. I wonder, what idea do you have up your sleeve now huh?" Torne mocked the fairy upon noticing what the girl was doing.

"I wouldn't be so cocky if I were you," Tecna countered as she warped onto the same cloud as Torne and slammed down the javelin onto the general's sending her flying downwards. It was at this point of time where her eyes glowed a golden colour as scales had covered both her arms.

"You're getting good at this I must say, I don't think I would need to hold back now." Torne said as two daggers made out of electricity appeared before she dashed towards Tecna and started slashing repeatedly at the girl. Tecna could feel the pain surge through her body as she was left unable to defend from the sudden burst of attacks from the general.

"Oops, I might have gone a bit too far, but nevermind you'll be fine." Torne smirked as she watched Tecna barely able to stand from the barrage of attacks.

Meanwhile, Tecna was barely able to focus on staying on the cloud when she realised something; electricity had begun to flow out of her wounds and surround her body as two jagged horns shaped like lightning formed on her head. Lightly tapping them, she could feel the amount of electricity in them, if there was that much in just her horns and there was still so much around her, what else would form?

"You know what is happening to me don't you?" Tecna asked as her shoes ripped open to reveal clawed feet completely covered in the same scales as before; just as more of the electricity surrounded her body, causing her outfit to change to more of an armour, ready for battle.

"I do indeed know. But what's the point anyway? You should realise it sooner or later." Torne continued to stand there as Tecna's hair turned a dark grey colour and grew longer into a single braided ponytail.

"And I think I have. I'm going to take the shot that I, in some way, am linked to you. Just look at me, someone could totally mistake us for twins, or even doppelgangers at this rate." Tecna pointed out as the final changes engulfed her, her face being completely being covered in scales as a tail made out of electricity formed.

"You were almost there, it's more like we are the same person." Torne mocked the girl as the surrounding world faded away.

Another name I changed. I forgot how I got Torne but I'm pretty sure it is the word "Tuono" which is thunder in Italian, then I changed it to sound more like a name. And I did change Torne's design quite a bit (this is called last minute ideas I guess)

And im sorry for the late update, I have exams in like a few days so I haven't been able to write much (with procrastination being the source of all this)

And again, another mention of Shade (just shows how much everyone hates him), and he's probably going to get mentioned another 5 or so times in the next chapter so yeah. (it's funny since they are technically a "couple' if you read the Alternate ending to Who We Truly are. But basically Shade and Petra [more explanation on her name next chapter] like each other but refuse to admit it because they hate each other so much.)
