Chapter 9: Warriors of waves and stone

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

"Ok, Aisha, you can do this." Aisha mumbled to herself in order to calm herself as she was about to face her general counterpart.

"So, are you ready to face your doom?" Petra mocked her.

"Not if I beat you first." Aisha smirked as she dashed forward, slamming into the general; only to reel in pain from hitting her hard body.

"Did you really think I'd go down so easily?" She replied before punching Aisha in the gut.

"I thought all of you were so cocky about being able to beat us." The dark skinned girl said as she wiped the blood off her mouth.

"Don't mention that word. It only serves as a reminder of that stupid general your Solarian friend is fighting." Petra warned as she prepared to use her magic.

"I see we both hate, or at least are annoyed by the same counterparts." Aisha replied as she too got ready her morphix to counter. (At least she could use her own magic)

"Well then, let's see how well you fare against this!" The general said before flinging barrage after barrage of shards towards Aisha; who, through the use of her morphix, was able to block most of them, with only some hitting her.

Creating a Morphix staff, Aisha dashed towards Petra, who managed to counter the fairy's attack with her own blades too.

'Shit, her magic is strong, I won't be able to fight her close up without getting impaled.' Aisha thought to herself. Unknown to her, at the areas where she was hit by the small shards, were brownish-grey scales slowly growing with small rock spikes poking out.

As the duo continued to clash, the scales on Aisha's arms began to spread until both arms were completely covered, with rocks lining them all the way to the elbow, forming something like a jagged blade. On her shoulders, a layer of rock had formed, creating some sort or armour; the same on her hands, forming gauntlets instead.

"Petra, would you mind to explain what the fuck is happening to my arms?" Aisha angrily asked, as claws formed on her gauntlets.

"Oh you'll find out eventually, it'll be easier to understand once it's done." the general smirked in reply.

"Damn you and all this mystery crap." Aisha grunted as she ran forward yet again and threw a punch at Petra; only to be sent flying backwards from a kick to her stomach.

'Damn it! Even with this armour I can't even make her flinch. Not to mention the moment I attack her she can immediately counterattack.'

"Not looking so confident now are ya?" Before Aisha could react, pain surged through her body as small rocks that looked like spikes grew on her back, as another lay of rock grew on her chest above the scales, forming a chestplate.

"Th-the h-heck i-is happening t-to me?" The dark-skinned girl grunted as the pain from the transformation was unbearable.

"Aww, are you going to give up already? That's no fun at all~" Petra whined in a mocking tone.

"Fuck you, you're just taking pleasure from my pain. That's messed up."

"Oh really? I'd like to see you try to deny that."

'Damn it! I can't do much with all this pain.' Aisha thought. Despite this, she charged towards Petra, ready to ram into her thanks to her armour protecting her from being flung back easily.

"I forgot about your little 'upgrade'. Be grateful for that, otherwise things would not have gone so well in your favour." Petra said through gritted teeth as she blocked another one of Aisha's attacks, albeit it being easy to block thanks to the pain limiting the girl's strength.

However, a loud cracking sound broke the general's thoughts. Sometime when Aisha had started to attack, she had slowly grown a tail, just like Petra's - covered in greyish-brown scales and having a rock layer at the tip in the shape of a mace.

'I forgot about that fact, I need to keep in mind that we share powers now so I can't be so confident.' Petra thought to herself upon remembering the fact that she and Aisha were basically the same person. 'Then again, I can just do it right back to her.'

"When will you learn to back down?" Aisha said as she leapt upwards and flung her tail towards Petra, only for it to be caught in the demon's hands.

"Maybe you should learn to back down first," She replied as she flung the fairy into one of the surrounding cliffs. However, a giant rock spear suddenly came flying towards the general's direction; scratching her on the cheek.

"I'm not going to go down so easily." Aisha said in a menacing voice as she pushed off the cliff in order to boost herself towards Petra; as she was nearing the general, she quickly whipped around, flinging her tail towards the demon only for it to be blocked by a pillar of stone.

"Forgot you were the only one who could do this huh?" Petra smirked as she used the same pillar to send Aisha flying backwards yet again.

Aisha was about to reply when even more pain surged through her body. Her body was now completely covered in scales, her eyes now a brown colour and her hair a dark grey with brown highlights; two jagged horns with rocks pointing out also emerged from her head.

"What did you do to me? I know you had something to do with this!" Aisha shouted as she held Petra captive with two giant rock claws.

"Why would I bother to tell you? It's more fun to watch you try to figure this out." Petra replied, smirking.

"Damn you… DAMN YOU AND YOUR STUPID 'MYSTERIES'" Aisha roared as rocks completely surrounded her, causing her to transform into a rock monster; it had the head of a dragon and the body of a wolf, with rocks pointing out on its back and legs.

"Look, the problem is simple. We are both each other, that's it. We share each other's powers and stuff. So, I can do that too." Petra answered as a figure similar to Aisha's current form was partially visible where the general was standing.

Aisha couldn't say anything as she turned back into her demon form before everything went black.

Yes, I changed three of the generals' names. Again, Petra's original name was Stoney which was Flora's nemesis from World of Winx (as you can see I was very uncreative back then). I partially got her new name from the word "Petrification" which is turning someone to stone so I feel that is perfect since that's exactly her power.
