An: in this chapter Jade rescues Aly… with little resistance… A near death experience for Sky and the cousins duke it out in downtown Magix… As well as Jade's new powers and look… and Aly's oath of pain…

It didn't take Jade long to find Jones lair… nearly 6 years of living with the demon had made Jones predictable… but Jade had been constantly changing… evolving over the past 6 years… and recently her mood swings were becoming more and more frequent… and she had the tendency of blowing up at people lately… much like the two members of the band of seven she had just slain. You could barely predict Jade… especially with her mood swings in full tow… she had no idea why they were in full tow… probably to due with the stress… or maybe she was bored… she had no idea but she pushed these thoughts aside… the time for these thoughts aside and cracked her knuckles she hadn't been out thieving… a simple break in, save Aly shouldn't be to hard for her even nearly a year hiatus… she hadn't realized how much she missed it… the rush of adrenaline… right before she broke in…

Aly body had been through so much torture over the past 5 days… but she believed Jade she would be there soon to save her… maybe she could teach her some moves… the poor 15 year old was filled with so much hope… she would be free of this personal hell in a few days at the max. She had taken to praying for Jade to burst through the doors fire tendrils whipping out and destroying her enemies… God was the poor faerie ever delusional… the pain had finally gotten to her brain… Icy and Darcy were the ones constantly torturing the fifteen… Icy had just become as brutal in her torturing ways as Darcy as the two imagined that it was Bloom and Jade respectively… Stormy… well Stormy hadn't shown her face since the first day she was tortured… and Jones… Jones was exceptionally busy… but even then she had managed to stop by two other times since her first torture session.

Aly's head lifted slightly as she looked at Darcy and Icy who were dragging a reluctant Stormy with them…

"C'mon sis you can't tell me you that you don't want to torture the faerie…" Darcy said pointing to the naked faerie in front of them. All of Aly's clothes had been gone for two days now since Icy had decided it got in the way of there fun…

"Wuh-Water…" Aly begged her mouth was parched from the screaming she had done…

"Forget it," Icy snarled at the faerie slapping her.

"The mistress wants her to be alive," Stormy said her voice void of emotion as she poured the faerie a huge glass of water and held the glass to the faeries lips… letting the faerie drink as much as she wanted.

"I don't see why your being so nice to the stupid pixie, when you finally get the gryphons power Jo- the mistress is going to turn her… which brings up the point when will you get the gryphons power…" Jade who had magically appeared in the room a metal rod in her hands cut of Icy as the Trix sisters stared at Jade her whole appearance had changed.

Her hair was white with two huge blue streaks as bangs, the edge of her hair was a golden colour… most of her outfit was white… the pants, the Jacket and the boots, however her black shirt stood out with a single flame on it.

"What's the matter you stupid ass… you can't remember your not supposed to wear white after Labour Day." Stormy shot at Jade who glanced at her jade coloured eyes flashing in disgust.

"It's so good you stopped by," Darcy said a crazed smile on her face, as she rushed Jade, who simply moved her metal rod at such a speed that you could barely see it as it made a crack against Darcy's shoulder filling the room with a sickening crunch.

"Please Darcy, I won't hesitate this time, and you all know that your magic is completely useless against me… and physically your about as strong as Stella," Jade said her voice was absolutely serious, "But if you really want to fight me… then here I am…" Jade said looking at Darcy who glared at the faerie. "Besides do you know how long it takes blood to wash out of white," her voice was filled with wry humour, as she flicked her wrists, and a huge crack appeared in Aly's manacles, then it exploded.

"I will kill you," Darcy growled pain etched in her voice.

"You tried that already, and I think we've both established that I refuse to die, and I refuse to be killed… at least by you anyway," Jade said glancing at Darcy as she threw Aly her jacket.

Aly had fallen to her knees, she was rubbing her limbs letting the blood rush back to her extremities, as she stared at Jade, actually most eyes were transfixed on Jade.

Then all eyes were transfixed on Jones who had heard the manacles cracking, and had come to the dungeon to check on Aly.

"Your alive?" Jones disbelief in her face, "But I… I…"

"You emotionally drained me Jones and then sentenced me to be killed by the starseeds, because you couldn't kill me yourself could you?" Jade said an inquisitive look on her face, but her eyes were cold.

Jones glared at Jade, "I don't know what you're talking about, Jade," her voice dangerous.

'Really?' Jade sent to Jones.

'Go to hell…'

'You know I've been there,' Jade said a small smirk on her face, "Well it's been nice old friend but I have to go you know people to burn, things to see,"

"You don't actually expect me to let you waltz out here with her do you," Jones said angrily.

"… Well yeah… like I mentioned do you know how hard it is to get blood out of white… especially demon blood," Jade made a face at the thought.

"Well then you shouldn't have broken into my lair…"

"Well it's more like a hole in the ground…" Jade interrupted her.

"And trying to steal my plaything…"

All of Jade's sense of humour was gone, in that second, "Plaything… Jones you…"

"Maybe I did maybe I didn'-" Jones never finished the sentences as Jade smashed Jones face with her makeshift staff. The blow sent Jones flying but the demon never fell, instead she just floated in the air for a second. Before grinning at Jade, "Somebody still doesn't know how to use her conduit powers I see…"

"You want to be the first person to try that out?" Jade her voice with a dangerous edge to it.

Jones stared at Jade… she was becoming more and more like her, every time she saw Jade… "I'm not the enemy here Jade," Jones said trying a different tactic, "All I'm trying to do is undo a great injustice that was done centuries ago… we don't have to duke it out… no it would be better if we joined forces then we could rectify it."

Jades bitter laugh resounded in the room, "So after all this you just want me to join you, no... cause unfortunately you must pay for your crimes."

"So what are you going to do kill me?" Jones licked her lips, "Face it Jade your more evil than good, why not embrace the darkness…"

"Because I've worked so hard to keep it at bay," Jade said her voice cold.

"Well it's not working…"

"And I'll continue to hold it at bay… now like I said excuse me, I have things to do, Aly let's go," With that Jade opened a portal.

"Not so fast, pixie…" Darcy and Icy snarled both rushing Jade. Jade glanced at both of them and dodged Icy's attack and slammed her elbow to the back of her skull knocking her out. Jade had left Icy a warning… but as for Darcy.

Jade ducked and grabbed Darcy's arm as she sailed over her with a blink Jades leg shot back and slammed into Darcy's shoulder, a sick crack was heard as Darcy screamed in pain, and slumped to the ground.

"Damn you, Damn you," Darcy said clutching her shoulder as she shot Jade death glares.

"Now like I said let's go…" Jade said as she pushed Aly into the portal and looked at Jones who was now thoroughly pissed of, as she threw herself at Jade, her claws out as she reached out to rip out Jade's throat. Jade blocked the attack and moved her leg up in a kicking motion.

Jones grinned and made a move to block it, but Jade didn't falter as she quickly switched legs, and her right leg swung true and smashed into Jones skull.

"You're going to have to try harder than that," Jade sneered as she walked through the portal.

Bloom was pretty worried, she didn't know at what but her last run in with Jade, had left her feeling completely uneasy, she could feel the immense power rolling of her, but it didn't seem Jade noticed, and if she did she made no attempt to hide her power. She had cruelly killed a demon by setting it on fire, and didn't seem as if she truly cared. Not only that her harsh words had struck true, and that is exactly what the Winx Club and BOBS were arguing about, speaking of the BOBS they were now getting on her nerves as well as the other Winx Clubs… they were driving them insane slowly, especially the triplets, the Red Fountain Boys had been scarred for life thanks to the triplets and there little hobbies… and there experiments. Bloom shuddered inwardly and looked at both the BOBS and the Winx Club.

"Well thanks to Jade we only have six more demons to slay," Stella said.

"Haven't you heard the news lately, Jade's disposed of two more we only have four more to vanquish," Achmed said with a sigh.

"Yeah which means she might be close to Aly," Musa said hope in her voice.

"I doubt it Jade seems different more…"

"Focused and with that focus Jade has gone to suppressing her emotions so she can be stronger faster… deadlier because she can feel it… can't you feel it?" Dani said an inquisitive look on her face.

"Feel what?" Nearly everyone at the table asked.

"It's going to be big, the beginning of the end, rumour in the under realm is that she's going to wake up soon, and if she does there is no force in any realm that can stop her, Jade has to feel it and if she doesn't then she would have figured it out her name is being said a lot lately," Achmed filled them in.

"You mean Лилит?" Bloom asked the vampire but Dani answered instead. .

"Yeah, who else, if the rumours are true then it's the end of the realms as we know it… if her plan to overthrow the source works, fortunately for us according to the starseeds the one thing she needs was stolen…" Dani said, "This could be bad or good, depending on who has it… if it's in the hand of someone like Jones then we're screwed, if it's in lets say in the triplets hands… well were still screwed they'd give it away for pie, and if fell into the hands of someone who was good then it's not so bad, unless the person uses it then we're screwed cause it will draw her to it like a bug to the light, so now that I think about it we're screwed anyway." Dani sighed in frustration.

"So should we attempt to find it," Ivy asked.

"We can't see it," Bloom said knowingly.

"Heh the faerie isn't completely useless then, what else do you know?" Dani said slightly impressed.

"Only that because of what Lucifer did the Source made it impossible for any magical being to see it,"

"Why are we thinking of her when there are more important matters at hand, we can worry about her when the time comes," Makoto snapped.

"Fine lover boy, I don't see what your so worried about Jade, she hates it when you worry about her," Ivy drawled.

"So she does care,"

"If she does she's not showing it, she hates it generally when people worry about her, she says you can be using your time more wisely," Bloom pointed out.

"So she doesn't really love me?"

Koby glared at Bloom and shot Makoto a reassuring look… "With Jade who can tell,"

"She paid us fifty dollars each, to take pictures of him when he wasn't looking," the Daria muttered to Musa who snickered.

"Again why are we talking about your love life, Aly's still might be in trouble besides it's not like Jade did us any favours she took out the three weakest members now all that's left is that Hyo, Curran, Apophis, and Byra," Stella said reading the newspaper article that was sitting in front of her.

"Yeah but it also means that she's close to finding Aly if there paths crossed then she should be really close into finding Aly," Flora said.

"Yeah if those witches touched a hair on her head, I'll…" Musa began.

"What serenade us to death," Darcy drawled from where she floated in the sky.

"Darcy," Musa hissed, as the Winx and BOBS got up and glared at the witch.

"ABSOLUTE ZERO!" Icy snarled from behind them, as the whole place became deathly cold.

"Lightning," Stormy roared as huge lightning bolts smashed around the group sending most of them flying.

"Let's shake things up a bit," Darcy said with a smile, "Heel of OBLIVION," She yelled smashing her foot against the ground, nothing happened for a split second before a seismic earthquake hit a 10 on the Richter Scale, followed by massive aftershocks that levelled many buildings in the nearby vicinity. This also caused the group to be buried under the rubble.

The Trix grinned maliciously, as they glanced at their newfound strength that Jones had equipped them with, who would have guessed pieces of her clothing would give them this much extra power.

They stared at the rubble not really believing they had actually killed the people who had soundly beaten them many times in the past. They weren't disappointed, as both fire and dark energy sprang forth removing huge amounts of rubble of there friends.

"BOBS get the Faeries out of here, you to elf girls, get out of here it won't be much of a fight if you all die of hypothermia, Calbolt you go full wolf mode, Achmed… well help the elves out of here, Koby Makoto go help the Red fountain boys we need to get somewhere warm," Dani yelled barking out orders as she quickly took charge planning a spell to help them for cover. "Field of Shadows," Dani screamed, as a huge dome of shadows appeared around them.

"Hmm so the traitor witch thinks she can out do us," Stormy said aiming a huge lightning bolt at the dome.

"Yeah I do," Dani said from behind them as she emerged from a shadow in the wall beside them, "Shadow lance," she said with a smile as dark forms of energy appeared and launched themselves at the Trix sisters.

Icy faked a yawn, held her hand wide and froze the attack in the air, and with a flick of her wrist sent it flying back at Dani. The attack hit Dani head on ripping her skin, and clothes as she fell to the ground from where she had been floating 4 stories in the air.

"Dani," Calbolt yelled sprinting to her in his wolf form, he was stopped painfully as a huge wall of ice appeared in front of him.

"Hmm, I say we destroy this traitor," Darcy said with a flick of her hand causing Dani to stop her freefall and be suspended in the air.

"Let's make her scream," Stormy agreed aiming the lightning bolt at her body. A rock hit her across the face. "Who threw that." Stormy snarled at the fleeing bodies of the Red fountain boys and the BOBS.

"Ooh I'm sorry did I hurt you," Brandon said with a few rocks in his hands.

"Your going to pay for that," Stormy snarled as she turned her attack on Brandon.

"Really," Dani said from her prone position, as she faded away into nothing.

"What!" Darcy roared angrily, "it was just a shadow," she told her sisters as she began to search for the real Dani.

"Where is she?" Icy snarled.

"Right here," Dani said with the Winx Club and the rest of the BOBS behind her, "I hoped my shadow doppelgangers were to your pleasure," she smirked.

"What how…?"

"Simple the dome was just a cover, the spell was simple life like puppets made from their shadows," Darcy growled as she stared at Dani resentment in her eyes.

"I assume you want the usual?" Stella said with a grin.

"Huh?" Stormy said.

"Yeah your usual butt whooping, with a side order of humiliation," Flora said.

"Solar Flare!" Stella used momentarily blinding the Trix sisters.

"Shadow Lance," Dani said as the shadow's appeared at the back of the Trix sisters flicking her hand the Trix were subjected to the same punishment as Icy had put her clone in.

The attack stopped letting the Trix sisters catch their breaths for a second… only a second as Tecna trapped them in her world wide web.

The Trix sisters grinned at each other, "Really you think this puny thing can hold us?" Darcy asked them a twisted grin.

Icy touched the magic freezing before merely flicking her fingers watching the ice crumble, "Please don't insult us, you merely pissing of us even more," Icy growled at them.

"Funny because I could say the same about you," Bloom snapped back as she prepared an attack.

"Sorry pixie but not this time," Stormy said as she hit Bloom with a twister.

"You know if we combine our powers," Dani said as she caught Bloom.

"Yeah one huge blast would take care of them…" Bloom agreed with the witch, as she linked hands with her, the Winx and BOBS who could wield magic followed suit and a huge blast was formed…

"Finally…" Stormy said, as she and her sisters disappeared before the magical energy that they had released hit them.

"Damn it, it's a trap," Calbolt growled as he turned around smacking straight into a giant, and by giant I mean at least 7'2 muscular man who cracked his knuckles and slammed his massive knee into Calbolt's lungs breaking at least seven of his ribs as Calbolt fell to the ground.

Jade glanced at the waterfall in front of them, "Aly the only reason we're here is so I can teach you control Jones is gathering her strength for one final attack luckily for us we have at least a month to prepare. What you are about to see only three people have ever seen. Those three died basically, so now you get to see my training place, it's also my meditation place and my secret stash of weapons and potions."

"So where is it?" Aly said looking around.

"It's in another dimension," Jade answered her as she moved towards the waterfall, which opened up as she put her palm to the doorway of her own dimension.

Aly's mouth dropped as she scurried to keep up with Jade who had casually walked through the doorway, Aly looked at the water which had split to reveal the secret dimension and quickly ran through it as the water closed behind her. "You have your own dimension?"

"I made it soon after the whole Eris and Sparrow incident," Jade said barely looking back at Aly as she quickly opened another portal that finally led to her dimension.

"But that… that takes a huge… did you say Sparrow the Sparrow," Aly said in awe both at the fact that Jade had been taught by the greatest mage that had lived in the past century and at how amazing Jade's dimension was, the place was a maze with numerous doorways waiting to be opened.

"Yes the Sparrow, the old perv gave me his knowledge before he passed on, you know the lore ancient magic like that must be passed down before that person could die, the old perv decided to give it to me." Jade snapping her fingers as the doorways rearranged themselves. Pointing to a room, "That's where you'll sleep, there should be some clothes there as well, tomorrow your training starts," Jade finished coldly as she went to her own room. Closing the door behind her, she looked at her old room and snapped her fingers as the room changed into what she wanted it to be an all white room with a few gold and red wisps on the ceiling she hadn't been in this room for over a year, she collapsed on her bed, and stared at the ceiling before snapping her fingers and letting her ceiling turn into a TV, "Show me my friends," she said clearly, as the BOBS and Winx appeared on the screen, each member of both teams were either on the ground moaning in pain, or attempting to move away from the demon who was attacking them. Jade frowned at this but sat up, she wouldn't turn her backs on them… she would deny it but to lose all of them, would send the her over the edge, she was still reeling from the fact Remy had died, it would kill her… each of them had helped shape her… reform her in Bloom's case, from the cocky arrogant person who enjoyed causing massive havoc, now she was still slightly less arrogant who only did as much damage that was necessary, she had finally grown up… more or less… she usually had a short attention span… which matched her short temper, was now replaced with the ability to focus on something for more than a minute, and she was learning to control her temper… but there was a price to pay for this she thought as she left the room and headed to Aly's room, she had become colder, rarely displaying her emotions rather than anger. Jade knocked on the door.

And Aly opened it quickly, now clad in a t-shirt and a baggy pair of jeans, "What is it?"

"I'm going out, I'll be back within a few hours," Jade explained calmly, "I'd advise you don't go exploring in this dimension, there are rooms that can cause bodily harm," Jade snapped her fingers and stood to the side as she followed Aly's gaze to the room where there were numerous dangerous animals in it. "Other than that the main doors are labelled like bathroom and kitchen and stuff like that."

"Can I come with you?" Aly asked.

"You seem to be in a good mood," Jade said noting Aly's slight excitement.

"You would to if you had just come back from hell," Aly retorted at Jade who raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I've been to hell, been dragged through it kicking and screaming, I've sent people to hell and I've dragged people kicking and screaming through hell as well, what Jones put you through was nothing compared to hell, Jones didn't make you lose all sense of your humanity… hell does… trust me Jones would never have hurt you more than physically… it would piss me of to much… and no you can't come with me it's to dangerous… for someone who can barely control there magic," Jade said with a frown.

"But I can," Aly protested, trying to think of a spell that would impress Jade.

"Do you know any 3rd level spells?" Aly shook her head.

"Then you can barely control your magic enough to fight a 20 level demon," Jade finished.

"But I hurt you," Aly protested.

"Barely I merely got a scar from the experience… besides spells can only get you so far in a fight I'm going to teach you to control your magic." Jade said as she lit her hands on fire, the fire changed shapes and temperature as she demonstrated her point.

"But spells…"

"If you're fighting a speed demon for example you might not to live to utter the final words of the spell," Jade pointed out, and Aly realized she was right. "Now I've got to go." Jade said opening a portal in front of Aly's room.

"Fine I'll see you later," Aly said with a sigh, as she closed her rooms.

Jade nodded and stepped through the portal leaving Aly all by herself.

Bloom spat out blood, as she attempted to sit up to look at the carnage the demon had caused, all the Red Fountain Boys were on the ground unconscious the demon had merely batted them away with his arm, as he simply cut through the BOBS and Winx Club, right now he was amusing himself as he sent Makoto through another wall.

"Stop," she said weakly as she attempted to stand, but fell to her knees.

The demon grinned at her before dropping Makoto on the ground, as he made his way to Bloom, Bloom closed her eyes as she waited for the inevitable.

Sky stood in front of her a huge gash on his forehead, as he prepared to give it all to protect the woman he loved.

The demon cocked his head before giving the pair the sickest smile that they had ever seen. The demon moved his hand and smashed Sky across the face sending the boy flying. The demon moved fast as he grabbed Sky's foot and forcibly threw him on the ground a huge dent appeared on the ground.

"Sky," Bloom said worry etched on her face, as she went to check on Sky.

Of course the demon had different ideas as he picked up Sky and held him by the scruff of his shirt. Punch after agonizing punch rained down on Sky, numerous bones had been broken as he finally lost consciousness.

"Oh god please stop," Bloom begged the demon.

The demon didn't listen for a second as he continued using Sky as his punching bag. Blood was now pouring through Sky's numerous wounds, causing the Demon to smile widen, as he now used his massive hands to engulf Sky's head as he pushed him through a building.

Bloom screamed as she saw Sky's nearly lifeless body laying broken on the ground through the rubble.

The demon glanced at her as he rushed Bloom, preparing to end this.

Bloom looked in fear at the demon, she didn't expect to die like this.

An explosion rocked downtown Magix, as the Demon disappeared.

Bloom blinked and looked through the smoke as Jade limped out, the bones in her broken leg already resetting themselves, as she glanced at Bloom.

"Jade,"

"Looks like I need to come to your rescue… again, Jade said with a small smile.

"Sky… oh god… you got to help Sky…" Bloom said incoherently.

"Heal him… Bloom if I stop fighting Mr. Tall dark and ugly than you'll die… and Jones will get the Dragonfire…"

"I don't care," Bloom roared at Jade who frowned.

"Well I do…" Jade answered her as she whipped around and barely dodged the demons kick to the head, Jade skipped back with ease and focused on the demon, she wanted to help Sky but she couldn't just turn her back on the demon… "Don't worry I'll make it quick…" she reassured Bloom who had rushed to Sky's aid.

"And how do you plan on doing that?" the demon growled at her as he glared at her.

'Please let it work…' Jade thought as she attempted to unlock the Conduits power… a blue aura swirled around the teen… as did fire as she unlocked the first stage of the conduits power.

The demon didn't look impressed at all as he bared his fanged teeth at her, "Is that all,"

Jade flicked her eyes around the surrounding area, "I'll beat you in 2 seconds," she said her eyes once focused on the demon.

"1-2" The demon dropped as fire tendrils snapped his neck.

Jade blinked and glanced at the tendrils, which were coming out of her body, Jade grinned and made the tendrils make a whipping motion which hit the ground in a loud crack, "Nice," she said simply.

"He stopped breathing," Bloom roared snapping Jade out of her dream, as she quickly linked minds with Sky.

'Sky'

'Oh hey Jade, do you see the nice pretty lights' Sky thought with a happy tone.

'Stay away from the light you dolt,' Jade screamed mentally at Sky.

'But it's so pretty,'

'So is your girlfriend who will kill me if I let you go into the white light,' Jade retorted sarcastically.

'Bloom…'

'Yeah Bloom… come on you prat think Bloom, you want Bloom… you idiotically nearly gave your life away to save her…'

'Got to see Bloom…'

'Yes continue with that one track mind of yours…'

'But the light…'

'What are you 1 stay away from the light,'

'Am I dying?'

'Yeah you are you gotta hang on Sky… cause my cousin will kill me if you die… I'm going to attempt to heal you right now through our telepathic link…'

"JADE!" Bloom roared as the Dragonfire was awakened.

Jade glanced at Bloom, as she continued to heal Sky through the telepathic link, "Now she thinks to use the Dragonfire," she said before continuing to heal Sky unbeknownst to Bloom his visible wounds had healed and he was now breathing steadily again, though he was unconscious he was stable. Jade then made numerous links with every Winx and BOB who was hurt badly or unconscious, it took a lot of concentration so she barely paid any attention to Bloom who she honestly believed wouldn't attack her. She was wrong…

Jade snarled in pain as she spat out blood, a blast from Bloom had sent her flying… "What the hell was that for?"

"ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!" she roared preparing another blast.

"Right the fact that you couldn't use your stupid powers is my fault," Jade retorted now removing her white jacket.

"YOU SHOULD HAVE SAVED HIM!" another blast from Bloom.

Jade looked at the incoming blast and didn't bother to move as she placed her hand in the air. Bloom snarled as Jade caught the blast, "Bloom… BITE ME," Jade snarled sending the blast back at Bloom as she also went Winx.

Bloom stared in shock, as Jade's outfit switched colours, her white clothes becoming black and her black tube top had turned white.

"Like it Bloom, it changed after I absorbed the conduit… it shows the two parts to my soul."

"Doesn't matter I'm still going to beat you into paste," Bloom snarled.

"Really." Jade flicked her white bangs from falling in her eyes… as she stared at Bloom her eyes bearing no emotion, which chilled Bloom to the bone, "Then your going to have to do better than that if you want to duke it out with me," Jades pupils split in two one red the other gold as she glared at Bloom.

By now The Winx Club, Red fountain boys minus Sky and the BOBS had awakened.

"Whoa what's going on, why are they duking it out?" Musa said as she watched as Jade floated to Blooms level.

"They shouldn't be fighting, they're family," Flora said.

"Never stopped me and my dad… wait did you say family…" Achmed said

"Cousins," Stella supplied.

"Then they're just blowing off some steam," Dani said, "Jade's not aiming to hurt Bloom, I believe she's merely testing her, it's why she's playing on the defensive side."

"Or Bloom could be kicking her ass right now," Stella said.

"Yeah Blooms totally going to win this one," Flora agreed.

"Nah, Jade's got this one in the bag Bloom's letting out to much magic, and very few are hitting her," Musa reasoned.

"Jade's is a good all round fighter… she's got the offensive attacks down and the defensive… plus the endurance to boot… her one weakness… she doesn't fully think things through…" Makoto said as he watched as Jade dodged another attack.

"So my bet's on Jade," Ellie said.

"What are you kidding, Bloom's got this thing in the bag…" Stella roared at Ellie.

Jade was impressed Blooms power had grown… she had actually broken a sweat trying to dodge all the blasts… however she had no strategy… and she said Jade was a loose cannon. "Tiring already Bloom, I thought you were made of tougher stuff, I guess me assisting in the death of your boy hasn't pissed you of enough, oh well princess, I guess it's finally my turn to attack." Jade said her as she created a single fire tendril from her new found powers. "Question did you know the tip of a bullwhip moves as fast as sound," Jade quickly shifted the shape of the fire tendril into a whip as she cracked it dangerously. "Playtimes over Bloom," she said cracking the whip again.

"Fine be me cousin," Bloom spat out.

Jade didn't talk as she let the whip wrap around Bloom's leg and she used her strength to hurl Bloom farther in the air, with a roar she rushed her whip smashed against Blooms back causing Bloom to scream before she let the whip simply wrap around Bloom's waist as she threw her to the Winx Club.

"Don't you think that was harsh?" Musa said.

"No," Jade said healing Bloom as she landed, "I could have done a lot more damage to her, tell her I said that… also tell her that she shouldn't have given up so easily… she could have beat me… but she let her anger get the best of her… now I got to go… you know people to burn, mass havoc to create… things to steal…" Jade said as she glanced at Makoto and gave him a smile and wink… "Now I'll see you all soon," Jade said as she disappeared.

"Well…" Daria said.

"Yeah…" Jessie agreed.

"You owe us each a hundred dollars," Ellie said to Stella as the three stuck out there hands.

'I'm never going to catch my breath,' Aly thought panting as she did another powerful spell, which Jade blocked with ease.

"If you don't come at me with the intention to kill then you'll lose," Jade reminded her. "Remember once you find your centre then you might win,"

'Why was I fool in school, for cutting gym' Aly said as she rushed Jade, who blinked and the air in front of Aly exploded sending her flying.

Jade glanced at Aly's body, as she struggled to get up, as another tactic popped up in her head, "Maybe I was wrong… you're unsuited for war… it'd be better if you just gave up…"

"No," Aly shouted.

"But your pathetic… I…"

"I'll be stronger than you one day… I'll be ten times better than you,"

"You can't even touch me… how do you think you'll beat me… your pathetic…"

"Shut-up…" Aly yelled as she picked up a dagger from the table nearby… "One day I'll be the greatest faerie in all the realms… and I will defeat you… and I will never give up…" with that she sliced her hand.

"Was that necessary… you could kill yourself from blood loss…"

"What!"

Jade healed Aly's hand leaving the scar there. "That's it for today…" Jade said leaving the faerie to herself. Judging by how deep the cut was this was the girls first oath of pain… she had made two in her life… the first one she had never broken completely and the second she had broken that one the second Yusuke died.

An: End of Chapter 8 a few more chapters to go… the next chapter the battle begins as Jade faces of against Jones… Icy and Bloom go at it and Aly dukes it out with Stormy… While the rest of the Winx Club and BOBS deal with the rest of the Band of Seven and Darcy… as well as Jem and Makoto duking it out…
