An: I had no idea a Paladin was going to be in the Winx Club otherwise I wouldn't have made Aly's last name Paladin… anyway I wanted a song chapter but I can't do that with out the possibility of this story being deleted… mostly 5 weeks of training squished into one chapter… the stories going to be longer in chapters than the first one… probably not in words… ANYWAY REVIEW! If not i'll probably lose interest in the story.
Disclaimer: I own nothing… but Aly Jade and the BOBS
Alianne Sky Paladin glanced around her room; it was bigger than her old room, no more sharing with her half sister. No more mother who ignored her, no more sister who wanted you to worship her feet… and no more dad, Aly shivered at the thought of her father, he was the reason she wanted to be like Jade, she was strong, and no one could push her around, but Jade hadn't paid her the slightest attention the whole time she was with her until she had gotten so frustrated she had used her Griffins claw on Jade she hadn't meant to cause the scar but she had. It was the only time Jade had paid the slightest bit of attention to her and when Jade had she seemed impressed slightly but obviously not enough… she had passed her on as a burden to the Winx Club.
"Thanks for showing me around school," Aly thanked Musa.
"It's no prob, however I advise you to stay away from most of the senior faeries some of them can be real witches," Musa said patting her on the back and leaving the younger faerie by herself.
Alone is how Aly had spent most of her life, it wasn't as if she was shy or anything no it wasn't that, she just preferred to be alone, when your life was tough like she had it, you learned that it was just better to be alone know one could betray you nor could they hurt you, just like her father.
Sighing to herself Aly lay out on her bed and continued to think about her life it was so similar but so different from Jades, all they shared in common was abusive dads, both of them had dealt with it in different ways Jade searched for friends to help her, Aly alienated herself from her friends.
Aly would loved to have friends like Jade, but she couldn't trust anyone enough most people lied to her, it was an uncanny ability she had to sense when people were telling the truth and when they were lying.
"No man is an island," Remy's voice rang through her head, but she was, her ability separated her from others.
"She hasn't said much since she came here, do you think she'll be like Jade," Flora said to Bloom.
Bloom said nothing as she looked at Aly through her crystal ball, "I don't know but Jades a thief, an expert at the art of lying, she can't be trusted, not anymore," Bloom finally agreed with Stella Jade was beginning to become more unstable as the days passed she had just gotten word that Jade had run away.
"Besides Bloom has the Dragonfire she can beat Darcy if she really wanted to," Stella pointed out, "And besides Jades a coward she won't face her problems head on unless she absolutely has to."
"Were supposed to be talking about Aly," Musa said rolling her eyes.
"She's right, what do we know about Aly?" Tecna said.
"She idolizes Jade," Flora said.
"Yeah… that's it," Bloom said.
"Everyone idolizes Jade she's like a legend," Stella said throwing a magazine on her bed with a picture of Jade on the front cover, "That should be me," she scowled.
"Come of it Stella, I doubt that Jade really wanted to pose for those pictures, she hates her picture being taken," Musa snapped at her.
"And now we are heading back to the conversation that doesn't involve Jade," Bloom sighed. "So we know that Aly has power over air, and she has the gryphons power. Tecna?"
"It's half a lion and half a bird of prey. It's mostly portrayed as a winged animal, the upper part of the body being an eagle, and the lower part of the body being a lion." Tecna said.
"Okay anything else," Bloom said.
"They hate horses and men, and in battle they will beat an armed man. When they have killed a cow, horse or human being, they carry it away flying. Their nails are as big a ox-horns and their feathers are strong enough to use them as strong arrows or lances. Some Griffins have the power of truth speak meaning they force people to tell the truth," Tecna finished.
"Great another Jade," Stella muttered causing Musa to send a withering look in her direction.
"But Aly's relatively tame… not like Jade," Flora pointed out.
"Really let's leave Jade out of this conversation," Musa shot at them.
"Why she's our enemy," Stella shot back, "She attacked Bloom, broke Brandon's nose, and gave Sky a black eye,"
"Bloom deserved it, Brandon deserved it and Sky was Remy's fault," Musa argued, "She saved our lives… because she thought we were her friends… but that's not good enough for you, she was dragged to hell and back lost a man who she loved and her best friend, so she could save us, the people who are supposed to be there to support Jade, but you stabbed her in the back, Jade battled a psycho witch with God like power ups… and won… and your complaining that she broke your nose, cry me a river and get over it," Musa raved.
"Besides we need her as an ally rather than an enemy," Tecna sighed.
"To stop Darcy, we need to stop the person she's ganged up with…" Bloom said, "And anyone who would bring Darcy back to life has got to be insane, when Darcy had the phoenix force everyone was threatened, demons, witches every magical being, so bringing her back…" Bloom let everyone's imagination run wild.
"Well this new enemy is either insane or an evil genius," Tecna said.
"Or both," Flora agreed.
"And she's probably really powerful raising the dead with a body and such needs quite a lot of magic," Stella pointed out. "And if it has that much power then we really do need Jade…"
"Who ran away yesterday," Bloom said with a sigh.
"Or Aly," Tecna said, "Think about it, Jade gave us her as a parting gift, 'Bloom it looks like you have another member of your precious Winx Club and it looks like I found the 3rd power' Jade probably knew that Aly could shoulder the weight."
"The girls fifteen," Stella said, "Jade can not seriously expect a fifteen year old to do something that nearly killed her… and us," Stella added as an afterthought.
"She's not supposed to do it alone, I'm supposed to help her… we all are Aly's not ready to do this by herself, not yet that's why Jade sent her with us, Jade doesn't want to train anyone especially not us," Bloom said with a sigh.
"So she abandoned us no big deal we've got two of the most powerful faeries fighting with us," Flora said.
"Who's fighting with you?" Aly asked from the doorway, her face a deep frown.
"Another clash between the Winx Club and the Trix sisters is coming up… and we'd be honoured if you'd help us defeat them," Bloom said and as far as Aly could tell they were telling them the truth.
"I'm fifteen you can't expect me to…"
"Jade believed in you whether she showed it or not is a whole different matter entirely," Musa said.
"So the question still stands will you join us," Bloom said offering the younger her hand, again all she saw was Bloom's sincere nature.
"Yeah," Aly said a small smile appeared on her face, "I'll help you."
"Then Aly welcome to the Winx club," Flora said with a smile.
"Thanks," Alianne said maybe she could find somewhere she belonged.
"Jade did that," Jones said in disbelief, and the conduit nodded, as Jones poked the gaping wound in her new toys chest, "She's stronger than I thought, well now you know what she's capable of."
"She said she'd perform the поцелуй смерти on me," the conduit said.
Jones stopped and stared, "Next time fully manifest on her… if she performs поцелуй смерти then it will change everything, but Jade will not be able to get strong enough in so short a time… our next attack will be in a few weeks. You will be training to beat her so the phoenix force will become Darcy's, then it will be Aly's turn, Jade can't possibly believe a fifteen year old can beat Stormy by herself."
"What's the поцелуй смерти mistress?" Icy said, she was standing there with her sisters.
The conduit left the room graciously leaving Jones with the Trix sisters, "A very strong spell that is mostly used by beings that use the dark arts though practitioners of white magic have been known to use it, the поцелуй смерти, is like the kiss of death only there are many different factions of the spell, Jade is either planning to take the conduits memories or take the conduits memories and powers… and if she takes the powers well then my whole plan changes… Jade will be too strong to fight at all, and damn near impossible to kill, and she will be immune to spell. Jade will become like… like… Лилит." Jones whispered the name and shivered violently.
"Are you sure this okay?" Jade she was in a hoodie to mask her face asked Makoto again.
"Why are you so nervous? They don't bite… okay Calbolt does but that's when you bug him, and he's normally calm and collected… except when it's his time of the month… but that isn't for weeks, so you'll be fine," Makoto said, "Besides you need help training and with the triplets constantly blowing stuff up and Achmed constantly being stalked by the vampire mafia and Koby sword practices and Ivy's ability to nag you into an early grave you'll be incredibly more powerful than if you train the normal way. Besides how did you think I got so strong?"
"Through my blasting you through walls," Jade shot at him.
"… Yeah that probably explains a lot," Makoto made a face causing Jade to laugh.
Turning serious, "Why are you so nice you know some of the things I've done… so why stay, my friends have abandoned me… I-"
"I love you," he said simply, "you don't have to love me back yet but I can wait, besides your already in love with my good looks and charm, admit it," Jade grinned at him out of all the people in the world he was the one person who made her feel at peace with herself. "Come on you know its true,"
"Fine Makoto I've fallen in love with your dashing good looks and charm, but I will deny it under extreme torture," Jade added causing Makoto to grin at her.
"See now that wasn't so hard to admit," he said putting his arm around her half expecting her to brush him off like she normally did, but she didn't and moved closer to him.
"Thank you," she said waiting for him to turn to her before kissing him passionately on the lips.
"So you do have a girlfriend," Danielle aka Dani said her arms crossed, as she stared at the two a look of amusement on her face. The witch smirked as Jade pulled away.
"So he wasn't lying… guess I owe you 50 dollars," Achmed sighed, the vampire grimaced as he opened his wallet.
"We're not going out," Jade said defensively, Achmed grinned at this and snapped his wallet closed.
Makoto didn't notice the comment, "That's Achmed resident vampire… the one who has hundreds of vampires on his tail. That's Dani she's a witch… a powerful witch with a superiority complex… though not a big one compared to the Trix sisters."
"I don't have a superiority complex you prat," Dani snarled at him.
"Yes you do," three voices chorused at Dani and Jade saw the triplets. "Who are you?" the three chorused at Jade.
"Makoto's girlfriend," Dani supplied the elfin triplets, who grinned evilly at Jade who took a step back.
"These are the insane elves I was telling you about… Ellie, Daria and Jessie Hawthorne, small tip don't make them mad…" Makoto trailed of.
"Where's Ivy and Koby?" a huge muscular guy asked standing at the doorway.
"That's Calbolt… he's a werewolf but it's not his time of the month so we're fine," Makoto told her with a smile.
"Who's that?" Calbolt asked no one in particular.
"Makoto's girlfriend," the triplets answered, "And our sister and future brother in law are in the bathroom," the triplets added.
"Gen left today he said something about preparing for the apocalypse… he can see into the future sometimes but most of the time he's just dreaming," Ivy informed Jade and Makoto.
"Gen thought he was a demonic general incarnate," Makoto told Jade.
"Okay…" Jade said.
"So why did you come to this crazy house?" Achmed asked Jade.
"Makoto said you all could help train me, in a couple of weeks," Jade answered him.
"And she needs a vacation," Makoto added.
"Whatever how strong do you have to be?" Calbolt asked.
"Strong enough to beat a fully manifested conduit," Jade noted the disbelieving stares.
"She nearly beat one yesterday," Makoto said proudly.
"Who are you?" Dani asked her voice dangerous, "Makoto you know what happened to the last person we trained."
Jade removed her hoodie a smile on her face as mouths dropped, "Jade Halva at your service" she said bowing casually at them.
"You're dating the princess?" Calbolt asked awe in his voice.
"No he isn't, we aren't going out," Jade sighed.
"Oh… why do you need to defeat a mathematical conduit?" Calbolt asked again.
"He challenged her," Makoto filled them in.
"And your going to fight this thing are you insane," Ellie asked her.
"It's me or my last bit of family… yes, I am insane," Jade sighed.
"Well than welcome to the BOBS where insanity is the norm," Calbolt grinned at her.
"Training starts tomorrow first thing," Dani said with a scowl at Jade as she headed back inside.
"Will she train with us?" the triplets asked as Makoto nodded a diabolical grin appeared on their faces.
Jade frowned at the house as a huge explosion was heard and the triplets scattered laughing. Jade looked at Makoto as Calbolt ran out of the house feathers attached to his body. "And I have to train with them why?"
"Just because," Achmed grinned at her laughing to himself…
1st week…
Jade winced in pain as she limped into the dinning room, due to Dani binding her powers until she had completed her training or until the conduit attacked she had been subjected to the most brutal training regiment she had ever faced… it was ten times more brutal than anything Codatorta could think of. Complete with sword practice blindfolded with Koby, defence practice also blindfolded with Makoto being blasted through walls by the triplets and having to repair set walls with her bare hands. And building a constant resistant to small tiny spells that Dani would throw her way, and doing 20 mile runs with Calbolt, she was surprised she was still alive… and then there was the escaping hundreds of vampires while slaying some with Achmed… some vacation.
Aly however had it better; her powers were growing rapidly with the Winx Club's and Feragonda's guidance. Between classes and working on just expanding her power and battling it out with a few senior faeries, she was doing a lot better than anyone could expected she had already topped her class, and revealed to her new friends that she could tell if people were lying to her or not. Aly had also confronted her dad, the drunk that had terrorized her when she was little and managed to come out completely unscathed as her father was trying to change himself, as for her mother she had disappeared along with her sister.
2nd week…
"Remind me again why I have to do this blindfolded," Jade growled as she dodged a jab made by Makoto. While also sidestepping a thrust by Koby.
"Stop complaining," Koby snorted, as he aimed to trip her with his sword and pin her, "The conduit see things logically to battle that you need to expand your other senses…" Jade tripped and hit the mud puddle in front of her with a undignified splat.
She heard snickers, "When this all over I swear I will make you all pay for this," the training was helping she was already stronger than she had ever been, of course she still hurt all over. Jade removed her blindfold and spat out mud, "I hate you," she growled at them.
"Aww come on you haven't even got to the level where Makoto attacks you with his glaive… blindfolded of course, you have to dodge each of them," Koby grinned
"Quit complaining I missing valuable make out time for this," Ivy called out from where she and Dani were watching.
"Yeah and after this you're going on a 21 mile run with me full speed," Calbolt grinned at her.
"And then we have to try out our new invention," the triplets sang out.
"Then right after that the Vampire overlord has decided that she really wants me dead, so we have some purifying to do."
"And then it's time for dinner and then I'm teaching you some ancient magic," Dani called out.
Jade's eye twitched but she put on the blindfold, "All you have to do is relax, your to tense… let your hearing be your eyes, you can't see things through a conduits eyes but you can use your hearing to expand your senses so you can feel the punches through the air and know exactly where there aimed because of that," Makoto soothed.
"Yeah you could kick our asses in offence, though your defence needs some finesse so you have a near perfect defence," Koby said readying his sword.
"Ready," Jade said, as she focused on the task ahead of her.
Makoto grinned and aimed a punch at her head, which Jade ducked…
"So it's simple this is going to be a simulation in which you will face off against Stormy, Icy has targeted me out of everyone else while you have Stormy's undivided attention," Bloom patted Aly on the back.
"What did you do to her anyway?" Stella asked Aly the girl had grown on her.
"She attacked me and then I let out a griffin claw which hit her it might have scarred her like it did Jade but I don't know," Aly shrugged, "So who's going to be duking it out with Darcy, if Jade's a no show."
"Yeah were totally here to support you guys," Flora said confidently.
"Alright let the simulation begin," a recorded voice said as the Winx Club went to watch the battle from afar.
"She's getting better," Bloom remarked as Aly battled Stormy magically.
"I calculate that in roughly three weeks she will be completely able to battle Stormy," Tecna said.
"Good which only leaves Darcy, what if she does the whole Immortal thing again?" Flora asked.
"We stand and fight," Bloom said.
"And die," Stella added.
"We have a better chance of succeeding if we beg Jade." Tecna said.
"Tecna begging is unbecoming… besides Jade's nowhere to be found, I didn't peg her for a coward," Flora said.
"She ain't hiding and she isn't a coward," Remy said emerging from the shadows.
"Remy," Flora looked away as Bloom continued, "how did you get…"
"I'm a thief," Remy said simply with a smile in Flora's direction.
"Well obviously where's Jade?" Bloom asked.
"Alive last time I checked," Remy answered watching Aly, "So this be the kid that scarred Jade's features, of course now it makes her look more dangerous and gives her face that dangerous edge to."
"What do you want?" Stella asked him.
"Nothing I just came to see if Aly was any good, that's all," Remy said.
"She's living up to Jade's expectations," Bloom said.
"What expectations Jade can barely remember the girls name she has no expectation for Aly except for Aly to survive."
"But her cryptic…."
"Jade's straight forward she doesn't leave cryptic messages," Remy told Musa.
"So she's sending us to battle with a fifteen year old," Stella screeched.
Remy shrugged, "You said yourself that she was good, I think that Aly could give Jade a run for her money, but still lose,"
"Good so we made the right decision… where is Jade anyway?" Musa asked Remy who had turned away.
"With Makoto," Remy said with a forced grin.
"You mean she's making out with a hot guy and we're stuck training," Stella frowned.
"She's training as well as you should all be," Remy said disappearing into the shadows.
3rd week…
"Well after 21 days you've finally passed my bit of training," Koby grinned at Jade who was covered in bruises, "Now onto Makoto." Jade was now sporting a black eye and quite a few non-threatening cuts all over her body.
"And after that your going on 23 mile run with 3 hundred pounds, strapped to your body," Dani grinned evilly at her.
"And then you get to play with us," the triplets called out.
"Then more ancient spells you have to memorize," Dani said.
"And then strategy training with me." Achmed called out.
Jade groaned inwardly, but she didn't complain, she was to tired and in pain to lash out at them anymore besides they were okay when they weren't training her if she didn't have to rule Shira she'd stay with them, at least they were cooler than the Winx Club.
"Wow you finally beat Stormy in that stimulation," Bloom patted Aly on the back.
"Yeah but that doesn't mean we can just stop practicing," Musa said.
"So what's next," Aly said excitedly.
"A night out," Stella said with a grin, "I just called the guys they need a break to," Stella called out, "And Pete's coming to,"
"But shouldn't we be training," Tecna sighed.
"All work and no play makes Stella a very grumpy person," Bloom laughed, as they headed out the door.
4th week…
"She's gotten faster," Calbolt grinned at Jade who was trying to dodge all of Makoto's attacks she had passed everything the BOBS could throw at her, "Let's ask her to stay after this whole thing blows over," Calbolt told Dani who scowled.
"I'm not very fond of faeries," Dani retorted.
"But she's so much fun," the triplets whined in union.
"Besides this place could use a faerie," Ivy said her arm entwined in Koby's.
"I really hate faeries," Dani reminded them.
"You've gotten on well with Jade besides she's not like most faeries," Koby shot at her.
"And you don't get along with most people," Ellie added.
"And she can cook," Calbolt grinned.
"So can I," Dani said glaring at him.
Calbolt ignored her and watched as Makoto's glaive cut Jade's arm slightly ending the session for a couple of minutes.
"You only find her fun because she has to test out all your inventions," Dani said to the triplets.
"Speaking of new inventions how's that power suit coming along?" Calbolt asked.
"We finished that last night," Daria said with a yawn.
"Yeah now we need is for someone to test it… Dani how about you all it does is make you stronger and give you the ability of hundreds of martial arts at your finger tips," Ellie said in a sugary sweet voice.
"Not on your life," Dani said.
"Hey sis…" Jessie began.
"No and if you do anything to my boyfriend…"
"We're not stupid sis jeez we want to live to be fourteen," the triplets said soothingly.
"No," Calbolt shook his head.
"Fine we'll ask Achmed," the triplets muttered.
"No." Achmed said hearing them.
"Makoto,"
"No."
"Jade,"
"Forget it I'm never testing out one of your inventions again," Jade said.
"Way to go you passed your midterms with flying colours," Flora grinned at Aly.
"They weren't that hard besides I had the greatest teachers ever," Aly said with a grin.
"Now let's go out and blow off some steam," Stella said.
"Stella we really should be training," Bloom said.
"Yeah the Trix have gotten stronger, and this like the calm before the storm." Flora said.
Final week…
"So all I have to do is eat this and I finish my training," Jade said with a look at the muffin in front of her.
Dani smiled at her, "Yeah and your training is complete," the whole table looked at her.
"What's wrong with the muffin?" she asked no one in particular.
"Nothing…" Achmed said, "that we know of…" under his breath.
"Fine," Jade said stuffing the muffin in her mouth and turning green almost immediately, swallowing the stuff she felt her magic returning to her as the same time the muffin was trying to come back up.
An: Please Review, anyway in the next chapter, The Trix attack and Jade dukes it out with the conduit... as well as Jones appearing and killing someone. So please Review
