An: The song isn't mine it's from Linkin park… Bloom attacks Jade… while Jade exchanges some harsh words for Bloom…

The ancient sword swung down at Jades neck causing Jem to flinch, as the sword was millimetres from Jades neck…

The sword smashed into a million glowing pieces as it nicked Jades neck, Jade opened her eyes new life was in them. Getting up she glanced her startled executioner… "You know what I change my plea… I'm innocent," Jade grinned at the court.

The room was quiet except for the elders discussing the possibility of her changing her plea.

No, I won't let you control my fate
While I'm holding the weight of the world on my conscience
No, I won't just sit here and wait
While you weighing options
You're making a fool of me

Jade jangled at her chains and quickly un-manacled them, scoffing slightly at the old design… did they honestly think that she wasn't a threat to them… she ought to be offended…

"No for once in the history…" the chief elder began to say.

"May I remind you that you have no power in the realms… you carry no authority… and unless you want an inter realm war… then I suggest that you rethink that decision," Jades voice carried authority causing Jem to stare at her in awe.

"Your elders I suggest we set a simpler punishment for Miss Halva one that will allow her to be loyal to the Starseeds… and let there be no animosity between the Realms and Earth," Jem said loudly causing Jade to shoot him a look.

"And what do you suggest young Джем,"

"I suggest that she marry a starseed…" Jem glanced at Jade who glaredat him and opened her mouth to shoot a nasty comment at him before Jem cut her of… "And I nominate myself to marry Miss Halva… I can teach her discipline and the way of the starseed… and as well produce more offspring for the Starseed…"

"Is this some screwed up way of asking to marry me Jem?" Jade questioned him her voice had the same dangerous but collected edge she had when she was mad.

"No I'm simply doing what's right and saving your life," Jem shot at her his temper flaring, "The one, which you were so ready to give up minutes ago,"

Jade sauntered to where Jem was and slapped him… hard… really hard… causing Jem's lip to split and blood to gush on Jades hand, "I've told you a hundred times… my life is not something I let people delve into… its not a frigging novel… people die if they try to get into my business… just like you I never asked you to try and stop Flair… but you tried and you died just like that… and my love for you died soon after Jem I will not marry you… I like someone else now… and as for you…" Jade wheeled around at the Elders, "You don't own me… if I wasn't so good natured then I'd kill you… the conduit shouldn't have been in the realms in the first place you have no case against me… this tribunal is over." Jade glared at the Elders angrily, fire appearing around her feet. As the words came out of her mouth the purest source of magic wrapped around her body dragging her to the ground… Jade snarled at Jem as he held her by his magic.

Facing Jade Jem gave her the most evil smile he could muster; "No Jade the trials only begun… as has the rest of your life with me…"

Jade blinked at Jem, her voice calm and collected, but her eyes held all the fury, "Jem… Spit on it…" she said spitting into his eye… a stream of fire… splashed across Jem's face scarring it permanently, Jade dropped as Jem who was screaming but no word came out… no amount of miracle energy could undo the damage Jade did in that one attack… "Wait I can spit fire out of my mouth…" Jade said in amusement as she kicked out at Jem causing him to trip.

"Get her," the chief elder roared as hundreds of starseeds jumped to there feet.

"I think this is a whole record for me… haven't been here for more than two days and I've already crashed this party," Jade mused as she dodged a blast of miracle energy throwing a blast of fire herself except hers exploded in the air causing a massive shower of fire.

"She hasn't yet figured out how to activate the conduits power…" the elder yelled out.

"Oh yeah… I'm a conduit now" 'Isn't life grand' Jade sent the message telepathically, to every starseed in the room… causing the elder glance at her with awe in his eyes, Jade shot at a ball of fire at him which hit him square in the chest sending him flying, Jade noticed a necklace fly from his neck… great a trophy… Jade grinned as she went to retrieve the necklace, which she did…

A bolt of miracle energy smashed into her back causing Jade to wince in pain as she turned to view Jem standing half his face burnt of hand outstretched, 'Jade stop… we can work this out… we can still be one…'

"Jem when I burned your face did I happen to burn your vocal chords," Jem nodded… "Pity really," Jade said throwing a blast of healing energy at him which struck his throat head on, causing him to stumble backwards, "And as for us… after this little incident I can assure you there will never be an us… ever… I got over you… just like you'll someday… hopefully really soon… get over me… however I do have to thank you for trying to save me from myself and that's why I healed your throat think of that as a parting gift from two old friends…" Jade said with a grim grin as she raised her hands and smashed them against the ground creating a blast that was huge… as it engulfed the building they were standing in.

When the fire cleared magically… everyone was still alive and standing there… minus Jade…

There was a click, and to Aly, the world changed. It was like being burned alive, in ice… or roasted over flames that chilled and froze you, even as they burned and ripped at your skin. She could feel her skin tremble and ignite with agony, felt her muscles quiver and burn with pain and a scream ripped itself from her lips, only for her to realise as the air left her lungs, that Flora had been right. It was like drowning. She wanted to take in a breath, but the air wouldn't come. She couldn't inhale, as her body jerked and convulsed like a marionette. The beat of her heart stuttered slightly, as the electricity shot around and inside her. Aly knew that she was in hell.

Suddenly, the pain was gone and air rushed into her lungs with a convulsive snap that had her fighting nausea. Great heaving gasps came from her body as her brain desperately tried to understand what had happened to the senses it had.

The tazer sparked a second time, and this time Aly screamed as loud as she could, her body overloaded with agony. It had been bad the first time, but this… this was worse. Already shocked and overloaded nerves had electricity blast through them once more and Aly felt her breath leave her once more, her lungs unable to fill. Finally the pain ended and Aly fell forward, limp in the manacles.

"Oh my." The voice echoed around the room and Aly managed to tilt her eyes upward to see Darcy grinning insanely. Her fingers gripped the wineglass tightly and her legs had drawn themselves up under her. She looked much to Aly's horror, like an excited schoolgirl. "I didn't think I'd enjoy myself this much."

A third blast shot into her and Aly arched, screaming. Inside her body, the crackle of ozone assaulting her as the arcs of voltage shot across Aly's body, and Icy snickered.

Darcy smiled, her eyes sparking in the dark with each discharge and she smiled, sipping wine and savouring the knowledge that Icy was having as much fun as she was. Savouring the screams Darcy laughed earth tools were so much fun.

I always get what I want… No matter what it is, or who… Because I'm Darcy Trix!

She watched as the sparks crackled into silence, listened to Aly's laboured breathing and Icy's incoherent taunting and smiled. She wondered how much more Aly could take before unconsciousness set in. The sound of the tazer sparking echoed around the room.

And still it went on.

"I want the blonde one to be my wife," Koumori said to the taller demon beside him.

Hyo glanced at his little brother, contempt on his face, "I always knew you wouldn't find anyone to actually marry you without you forcing them," Hyo said looking at where the Winx Club and the BOBS sat in the middle of Magix.

"Oh shut up Hyo…" Koumori growled at the older demon, which glanced at him amusement danced in his eyes.

"I still don't believe, Zanryu sent us to attack these kids first… really… I'm almost as good as he is with a sword…" Hyo's eyes traveled to where Brandon, and Koby were now battling in a swordfight, Koby obviously the better swordsman as he danced around Brandon… taunting him. Without a word, Hyo took of in the other direction… towards a huge group of magical beings…

"No don't stick to the plan that's why you aren't the leader…" Koumori said with a growl as he watched as his brother totally annihilate everyone standing there spilling as much as possible.

Calbolt sniffed the air, and let out a low growl, causing everyone to glance at the werewolf, "Blood, I smell blood… and lot's of it, it's really close to…" he let out a small whine, causing Dani give him an encouraging smile, as the Winx Club and BOBS raced to meet the gruesome sight in front of them.

"Oh God…" Dani and Bloom said together shakily they pointed with a finger, and turning around, the Winx Club and BOBS instantly felt sick. They were pointing at a section of the rubble that was strewn with several dead bodies, all of them children and teenagers no older that the BOBS and Winx club. The group did not recognize them, but it was gruesomely vile and revolting nonetheless, with the children staring at empty glazed expressions, the faces frozen in death, white and cold. Some were horribly hacked and ripped apart, as if set upon by animals with sharp claws, while others just began to rot in puddles of their own blood, their organs forcibly torn out of their torsos. One girl in a strange silver and blue uniform had half of her entire face clawed off, and through the gaping hole on her face, the group could see her skull and dangling eyeball hanging from her empty socket.

"Oh god" Flora cried.

"This is barbaric!" Daria exclaimed, "They're just kids! Like us!"

Jessie then completely lost it as she fell to her knees and vomited on cue, sobbing. Achmed, though he understood the elves aversion, managed to sneer with a façade of disdainful ridicule.

"You really need to start acting like an adult, elf girl," Achmed scoffed.

"Screw you Achmed," Ivy said rushing to her younger sister and scooping her up into her arms as she hugged her sister tightly.

Calbolt growled again, as he sniffed out he perpetrator of this heinous crime, but he didn't really look far as the demon grinned mirthlessly at them blood dripped from his hands… his mouth and his clothes.

His short black hair seemed tinged with red as he laughed at there dismay…

"Are you one of the band of seven," Makoto asked already knowing the answer as he struggled to keep his lunch.

"Why do you ask questions in which you know the answer?" Hyo said dragging out a huge two handed sword that stood taller than any of the BOBS or Winx club…

"You… you monster…" Bloom said as all the Red fountain boys and Koby stood in front of her protecting the girls.

"You will pay for this," Sky's voice unnaturally dark as he glared at the demon who gave him a huge smile…

"For all that its worth I don't want to fight you, I mean I can kill you all later… but I want to fight him, he's obviously a skilled warrior…" Hyo pointed at Koby.

"Me…" Koby said in surprise, "You killed all these kids… just to fight me… that's wrong man… just sick and wrong… next time just ask me…" he finished angrily.

"Hey I'm the better swordsman anyway," all the Red fountain boys said minus Timmy who was now upchucking in the corner.

Hyo raised an eyebrow, "Show me then," as he took a swipe at the red fountain boys with his massive sword. The sword itself didn't touch the boys… but the aftershock of the swing did, causing the boys to go flying, except for Koby who stood his ground bracing himself against the powerful wind.

"Fine I'll fight you… but god will you wish I hadn't…" Koby said drawing out his twin blades, "Your name."

"Hyo," Hyo said cocking his head curiously at Koby who glared at him fixing his hair.

"Well Hyo they call me two-sword Koby… and I'll be your executioner…" Koby said as he put his shoulder length hair into a ponytail, and let his swords fall into his hands.

"Koby… if you die… I'll bring you back and kill you myself," Ivy warned, worry etched on her face.

Koby spared a glance at his girlfriend, and gave her a quick smile, before he frowned deeply at his opponent, and struck a unique pose with one hand above his head and letting the other blade cross against his chest.

Hyo grinned evilly as he attacked Koby moving the sword at a lightning quick pace that the Winx Club could barely follow, but Koby was ready for it barely as he blocked causing a huge clang to fill the air the force of the blow sent shockwaves all around them.

Koby grimaced at the shooting pain in his hands, as he pushed the demon back slightly utilising all of his strength; he was trying to use all his speed to make this battle quick.

Pity it didn't work as a slice mark appeared on his face, and the demon licked his lips, "Subtlety is the key to swordsmanship… I'm going to enjoy cutting you into pieces," the demon licked his lips again, and suddenly groaned in pain the brat had hit him, as a Wound shaped in a K appeared on the demons forehead.

"Don't lecture me," Koby growled at the demon as he once again took his stance ready to do more damage…

On top of the rooftop, Koumori, growled slightly, "No ones ever even nicked him before, guess it's time for me to intervene," the smaller demon snickered evilly… as he pulled out a bottle of black sludge, another one of white sludge… another one contained red sludge, blue sludge and finally green sludge… "Lets see how they like this…" as he some how managed to balance each container on of his stubby fingers.

Calbolt whined suddenly causing Dani and Flora to glance at him, "There's danger here, we gotta—"

"Five star exploding hand bomb," the was a flash of black, white, red, blue and green as Koumori threw the containers and they collided with each other causing a massive smoke that filled the area.

Calbolt fell first, the toxic gas had begun to kill him, Dani next, "Wind," Ivy snarled causing the toxic gas to be pushed away, revealing those who were still standing, Tecna had created a barrier around the Winx Club. Koby however was standing still as he glanced around for the demon who had fled as soon as Koumori had thrown the containers. Koby glanced at Ivy before falling over, gasping for clean air.

"Where's Ellie," Daria and Jessie said together looking at Ivy…

"Ellie… Oh god that bastard took my sister… dad's going to kill me…" Ivy said in panic.

"They can't have gotten far… if you heal them now then we can catch up to them," Bloom said taking charge.

"Yeah," Ivy said as she and her remaining sisters started to heal the fallen BOBS,"

"I smell him," Achmed said sniffing the air… "Bloom stay here with them… I'll take everyone else with me… come on…" with that he took of in a western direction.

"Come on lets go…" Musa said as she went Winx and followed Achmed.

Jade slammed onto the hard ground as she passed through a portal, she was somewhere in Magix that was for sure… she groaned in pain and sat up. "Stupid starseeds, stupid Jem, stupid Jones, stupid Remy, stupid Bloom and her stupid Winx Club…" Jade complained as she rubbed her bruises. "Now to find the Winx Club… I've been gone for two days, already… they probably think I'm dead… and are rejoicing to themselves…" Jade frowned at the thought. "I think I'll go find Aly… instead of going on after her the Winx Club went for the bigger threat… and this is one battle that I refuse to fight with them… they're a spineless, pale, pathetic lot… they need to fight there battles by themselves… I'll only interfere if it gets too tough in there for them…" Jade said to herself as she sat cross-legged on the long grass, and attempted to use her new found telepathy to try to connect with Aly's mind…

'Aly… can you hear me…'

Jade screamed in pain as hundreds of Aly's roared in her head… "Well that was interesting… and painful…" Jade groaned rubbing her temples. "Lets see what was her whole name… Alianne… was it Sky… then maybe Paladin…" Jade pondered over Aly's name for roughly five minutes…. "Hey it's worth a try," Jade said to herself.

'Alianne Sky Paladin… can you here my thoughts…' Jade sent again through her telepathic powers.

Aly's pain ridden head snapped up… and she attempted to make contact with Jade… 'Jade please God… let it be Jade…'

'Yeah Aly it's me… and I'm going to rescue you… so hang on I'll be there as soon as I find Jones hide out which probably won't be that hard to find… has she tortured you?' the question was completely out of the blue… surprising Aly.

'Yes they all have…'

'Did my healing factor kick in at all for you… I wasn't exactly sure if it would work… this being my first power transference spell…'

'That was your healing factor… oh god I'd be dead if it wasn't for you… how did you know…'

'You were never supposed to beat Stormy at least not on your first try… all you were supposed to do was endure the pain and see just how powerful and sadistic she is and so I sent you part of my healing factor… actually most of it 98 to be exact… so you could at least survive… and judging by the fact your still alive she's definitely not as sadistic as Darcy… barely qualifies against Icy too…'

'She tortured me…'

'Only because if she didn't Jones would have put her up beside you… Stormy's hardly evil… she was merely protecting her own skin… of course she's slightly more messed up than me… and she will do anything her sisters tell her to do… which makes her the evil henchgirl sort of evil…'

'I will kill her… her and Jones…'

'No you won't your still to young… to kill without remorse is a bad thing no matter how much they wronged you besides Jones is my mistake one that I must rectify… as for Stormy… she could make a good ally if you want her to… now back to the main problem… do they have you manacled up?'

'Yes… it's this circular device that has these huge manacles that grip my limbs really tightly…'

'She has you chained to that… they are basic things to break out of I'll talk you through it first…. Do not make a move or anything until I'm there…' with that Jade explained to the best of her capabilities how to escape from the chains that bound them. 'Give me a day or two I'll be there soon…' with that Jade broke of the connection as she had one last stop to make.

"There's no need to be worried my love I'm sure you'll make a lovely wife for me," Zanryu smiled at Jade and removed his mask making the paralysed Ellie grimace in disgust… he was hideous… "Now many ladies think me as hideous but you don't think so do you? I didn't think so," Zanryu took Ellie's silence as a no. "Don't worry I'm sure our children will turn out fine…"

'Children I'm thirteen oh god, oh god oh god…' Ellie screamed in her head.

There was a crash as Achmed, and company burst through the door to the small shack… "Get away from her you freak!" Achmed said bearing his claws…

Zanryu however was prepared for it as he caused another gas attack, an evil smirk placed on his features.

Tecna placed up another shield around the group… except this time Zanryu laughed in pure merriment.

"You fools… I don't fall for the same trick twice… that gas goes through anything even you shields… it is a poison that diffuses through the skin and it's toxic to breath as well… Zanryu snickered as everyone dropped to the ground dying… then he remembered his bride to be… "Oh my love I am so sorry," Zanryu said rushing to Ellie who was gasping for breath…

The roof was ripped of the shack… well technically it exploded of the shack… letting the gas entrapped in the room to escape via the missing room. Jade landed in front of Zanryu who could sense the immense power that Jade was letting of…

"Who are you?" Zanryu said a bit frightfully as he backed away.

"That is not your concern…" Jade said pacing towards the demon… who was now stumbling outside…

"I'm sure there's been a misunderstanding…" the demon stuttered as he tripped outside, Jade raised an eyebrow, but continued to carry on her steady but menacing pace… "Yeah the understanding is you don't mess with the Band of Seven… this is my most powerful attack… Ookazi" With that Zanryu threw a huge container at her which cracked in the air and the full smog hit Jade full on… Zanryu laughed maniacally before he saw Jade step through the smog…

'Conduits can't be hurt by poison fool,' Jade sent to him mentally as she leaned in close her mouth at his ear level and she gave just one command, "Burn…" And with that Zanryu screamed in absolute pain as his flesh and major organs was burned to a crisp leaving nothing but the charred skeletal remains.

In the meantime Bloom and Calbolt had arrived in the remains of the shack… seeing there fallen friends Bloom turned to the person still standing her back faced to the group… "You did this… to them didn't you…" Bloom said anger in her voice as she went Winx… the Dragonfire ripping out at Jade who took a small step to the side… causing the raw blast to miss her by millimetres.

"Bloom control yourself I already avenged them for you…" Jade said not turning around as she sent a raw blast of healing energy towards the group of teens… "However whether I'll do this again that remains to be seen… if I know the battle is to great for you then I might just get myself involved… but I really wouldn't get my hopes up… this is your battle… not mine…"

"But what about us you're a member of the BOBS why can't you help us?" Calbolt whined.

Jade shrugged, "Because you don't need my help… the band of seven is tough I'll give you that… but somebody else needs my help more than you… and Bloom how hard is it to train Aly magically… her powers are relatively weak… she shouldn't have been caught so easily… especially not by Jones… the Griffin is an air based creature… and wind and Air is where she draws her powers… to be honest she's as tough as Stella… that is highly disappointing we had five weeks to train and even though I can barely trust you… I still trusted you enough to give her the proper training…" with those slightly harsh words Jade disappeared on her quest for Aly… just as the BOBS arrived on the scene…

An: I hope you enjoyed this chapter… I really do… in the next chapter another demon attacks the Winx Club as Jade finds Aly with the cost of Two of the band of sevens lives… or it's going to be an interlude I haven't decided yet…
