Chapter 2: The Magix Magic's Tournament

In the cafe, Brandon and Sky were waiting patiently for Stella and Layla. Finally, Brandon spotted them. Stella came to their seats. Brandon crossed his arms "You're late!" Layla was at the counter going to get some drinks.

Stella sighed "We know! We were caught up with Flora, sorry!" Stella then slumped into her chair next to Brandon. "So how's everything? Is it working out fine?"

"Working what?" it was the first time Sky spoke ever since he stepped into the café. Stella rubbed her temples out of frustration "Sky…the tournament!"

Flashback

In the banquet, Professor Faragonda was making an announcement. "My fellow students, we gather here tonight for a celebration honoring out victory against the powerful Trix. Thanks to Bloom" Everyone began clapping for Bloom at the sound of her name. Bloom stood up and waved happily at the crowd.

Professor Faragonda cleared her throat.

"As I was saying," she said, smiling, "the competition the whole magical dimension was waiting for, the Magix Magic Tournament" The whole hall was now filled with sounds of 'oohh's and gasps." Fairies…" Professor Faragonda looked at the fairies sitting on the left side of the hall. "And specialists…" she turned to the right side of the hall now, at the boys of Red Fountain."There will be three phases in the competittion

"The one who wish to participate may give their names to Proffessor Grizelda after the banquet. Only those who are above 15 may participate in this competition as it will be very dangerous. The two chosenFairies, as well as the two chosen specialists are going to be divided into groups of four. This year, the Minister decided to do it in a group unlike centuries ago. These four schools are going to cooperate with each other as long as this competition goes on.We will be competing withtwo other school. Oneteam fromAndros and another team from the second vector of the Binary galaxy and theteam from Harmonic Nebula."

The hall was quiet now; all ears were listening to each and every word Professor Faragonda said. The tournament will begin in a week. We will be having theseven other schools,includingRed Fountainso evryone will have to make space for a new roommate."

Flashback

Everyone is having breakfast talking excitedly about who were going to be chosen for the Tournament. The Red Fountain Boys have also been staying in Alfea for the past few days. The other four schools have moved in two days ago.( Two of them had to cancel at the last minute.There were so many people, magic had to be used to make the school bigger. Everyone who wanted to join had already given in their names."Attention, Everyone, The Chosen ones have been selected." The room grew quiet.

"From Treolas of Andros, an all girl school, Tiffanny Topaz and Ruby Rolz." Two girls from an opposite table beamed happily. "From Frewlodans of Andros, an all boy school, Richard Folley and Vincent Vector. They will will be teamed up with Tiffany and Ruby." Two very hot guys stood and Tiffany and Ruby squealed in delight.

"From Askalandrea, an all girl school from the second vector of the Binary Galaxy, Jenna Jectaria and Felia Folex." A girl jumped up and down in glee while the other let out a very loud 'YES!' "From Kelogart, an all boy school from the second vector of the Binary Galaxy, Harry Hudson and Tab Troy." A really geeky guy snorted and laugh while the other stared into space with a blank look on his face."They will be teamed up with Jenna and Felia." The girls groaned.

"From Alfea of MagiX, Layla Andros and Stella Solaria!" "Yes!" The duo screamed together and high fived. "From, Red Fountain of MagiX, Sky Sevenson and Brandon Brell." Sky smiled while Brandon yelled a 'SCORE!' "They will be teaming up with Stella and Layla." Stella, Layla and Branson all smiled happily. Except Sky who was disapointed Bloom didn't make it and wasn't in his team.

"Due to the resignation from the Tournament by the schools from the Harmonic Nebula. Another four have been chosen to take their place. Helia, Riven, Flora and...Bloom!" Everyone cheered at the sound of Bloom's name. Except Stella and Layla. Nobody had cheered at their names.

End Flashback.

"Oh that! Not too good!" Sky said nervously. "We should get to work then…"

Brandon seemed to be getting worried about Sky. Sky wasn't very unusually quiet. "What seems to be the problem?" Brandon asked.

"Oh!" Sky was now scratching his head "Nothing much!"

Brandon then whispered to Stella's ear "I think he worried about Bloom. He knows this tournament might involve death!"

Layla was coming back with Stella's coffee. She sat beside her. "Hey Sky! Why the long face?" Layla actually noticed how worried Sky was at first sight.

Sky just gave the same reply which made Layla quite annoyed. Stella just ignored Layla's face. Then, Layla turned to Brandon. "So, what do you think it is like, I mean the tournament. Agility, strength and wisdom, we have it all!"

Brandon shrugged his shoulders "I don't know much yet. Maybe each of us has them but Bloom…" Stella frowned hearing Bloom's name. "What's wrong with Bloom?"

Brandon shrugged his shoulders again "Look at it this way, Bloom's powerful. She's smart and also talented. Bloom is all in one!" Layla winced after Brandon's 'so-called' inspiring speech. Sky was paying attention now. Finally, Layla began to speak. "All in one huh? You treat Bloom like she is…is…" She couldn't finish her sentence with her blood boiling. "Never you mind!" With that she stormed out of the café. "Was it something I said?" asked Sky.

Layla came storming out of the Starlight Café, clenching her fists. Stella chased after her. "Layla! Wait!" Layla finally stopped. Stella was panting after chasing her. "Wait…" She gasped for breath.

Layla turned back to Stella, face filled with anger. "You don't know what it's like, Stella. After the Trix's downfall, everyone…and I mean EVERYONE treats her like some kind of hero! We helped to damage Icy a little! No, a lot! We did most of the work! It just happened Bloom was the one who caught Icy before she hit the ground!" "Layla…"Stella tried to cut in. But Layla continued. "We don't need her, Stella! We don't!" Stella got tired. "Layla, Will you listen?" Layla kept quiet. "I know how you felt. She was missing until the final blow! But we do need her, Layla. We did then. She was powerful. Icy was even more powerful then her! We needed her strength." Layla let her jaw fall. "You think she's a hero, too?" "No! She's not a hero, she was a loser. We both know that. But we can't prove to anyone else she wasn't" Layla frowned.

"You want to beat Bloom, don't you?" Stella asked slowly. Layla nodded. "More than anything." "Good. Then let's kick her butt in the Tournament. I want to see her fall like a duck with a broken wing. So lets start planning." Stella led her back to where the guys were exchanging confused looks. As soon as Layla sat down, Brandon asked, "Layla, are you okay?" "Peachy" came the reply. Sky started talking. "Like I was saying, we all know perfectly well that Blo…" Sky stopped at midsentence as he spotted Stella shooting him a warning glare. "Okay, So what's the plan?"
