An: Review... anyway i pretty much have it done... 7 more chapters at the least... this is like my first story i'm going to drag out the fight scene for awhile... the reason being I want the reader to get a feeling of what it's like to be in the fight scene... so in this chapter its the beginning and Bloom andIcy duke it out... this is one of the shorter scenes... however Bloom is ko'ed at the end of this... and throughout the fight scenes i'm going to focus on different characters and leave out quite a few... the next coming chapters are going to focus on Stella... who somehow has a power upgrade... Dani and Ivy... Musa and Tecna... Aly and Stormy while Jade and Jones battle will be sprinkled throughout the rest of the chapters...Since i strongly believeI overplayed Darcy in thePhoenix Force she isn't going to be in the battle scenes... call it an early retreat...and Jade iscoming to rescue them more than once... as well as a one or two flashbacks... and a starseed battle... and Jade finally revealing her interest with Aly... this is to come anyway... so review...
"Today is the day, there will be no stopping us," Jones said with a dangerous smile.
"Yeah it's the demon equinox isn't it,"
"A day that happens once a year… when evil is at its strongest." Jones explained to them as if they were babies, "Ladies ready the troops… it's a perfect day for a victory isn't it," Jones said as she began to lace up her boots.
"Mistress… Jade…" Darcy began.
"Is mine," Jones said flashing her a dangerous grin.
Aly stepped of the bus, as she stared at Alfea, 'It's good to be back' she thought as she glanced back at Jade who was sitting reading a book. She had taken that up when she was training her, while Aly tried to land an attack on her Jade would be sitting in a solid magical defence reading set book. Aly had finally broken through the shield four days later, and Jade began teaching her control of her magic, and precision and on her request some of Jades martial arts. She dared the Trix club to attack her.
"Don't get to cocky… it's the downfall of some of the strongest warriors," Jade said not looking up from the book she was reading as she stepped of the bus.
"I thought you weren't going to read my mind," Aly accused Jade who glanced at her.
"I didn't," she replied and she continued reading her book…
"Then…"
"You were projecting again," Jade said.
"Aly!" Flora and Stella cried rushing to the pair.
"Of course ignore me…" Jade muttered to herself not taking her eyes of her book.
"JADE!" Makoto yelled and rushed to give her hug.
Jade glanced at this and dodged him as he smashed into the bus, "Hey Makoto," she said as she continued to reading her book.
"Hey look the faerie can read," Dani said as she walked out from Alfea.
"Screw you," Jade said finally tearing herself away from the book, and looking at the group gathered in front of her.
"Jade." Bloom said glaring at Jade.
"Cousin" Jade said a small smile playing on her lips, "How's your back." Bloom just glared at her.
"Did I miss something…" Aly said hopelessly confused.
"Jade kicked Blooms ass…" Daria informed her.
"… Alright… anyway I learned some new tricks while I was away…" Aly said proudly.
"Dolt… you just show of your new moves… when the opportunity arrives then you use them…" Jade said as she helped Makoto up.
"What did we say about reading my mind…"
"Stop projecting," Jade shot back.
"Fine then I just won't think," Aly said.
"No big loss there," Jade muttered.
Aly stuck out her tongue.
"Why'd you come back?" Bloom finally said with a dangerous edge in her voice.
"To apologize and beg for forgiveness," Jade said her face completely serious.
Everyone around them was quiet, not really believing that Jade could bring herself to apologize.
"Yes my dear cousin… I've comeback to say I'm dreadfully sorry for… being related to you, of course," Jade grinned at Bloom, who snarled at her.
"You bitch…"
"Remember you attacked me first…" Jade said a small smile on her face, "and you say I'm a loose cannon…" she said turning to the Winx Club.
"So why did you come back today of all days," Musa said pinching the bridge of her nose.
"It's the demon equinox," Aly informed them delightedly.
"Wait… it's the demon equinox…" Dani hissed.
"That's what she just said," Jade said with a roll of her eyes as she flicked them to Bloom.
"Which means that demons and things under demon influence become a lot stronger," Aly said proudly as she showed them her knowledge.
"Someone had free time on her hands…" Stella said with a raised eyebrow.
"Anyway… this is the day that Jones and her merry group of followers will attack today… and I'm guessing that you guys didn't spend every waking moment training your asses off…" Jade said an amused grin on her face.
"Just how strong are we talking about?" Tecna said.
"10-20 times stronger," Aly, Jade and Dani said together.
"Well then we're so screwed," Musa said with a sigh.
"Not really… for the hundreds of years that this has been happening it's never really turned the realms into utter chaos." Aly pointed out.
"Yeah but Demons don't want the realms they want Earth… and unfortunately there is no demon equinox on Earth so few demons actually know about it…" Jade said.
"And therefore don't attack," Dani said.
"So why didn't you think about it Dani? We could have started to train…"
"It wouldn't have made a difference, anyway Ellie our magic is at it's weakest," Jade answered.
"Then how… are we supposed to beat them then," The triplets yelled at her.
"Luck," Dani answered with a sigh.
"I do not believe that luck exists, if we think logically and…"
"Thinking logically can only get you so far Tecna… a fight is 50 percent skill, 10 percent strength, 10 percent speed, 10 percent mind set and 20 percent luck," Makoto said.
"But a conduit…"
"There are flaws in the conduits mindset if you do something illogical it will completely throw the conduit off…" Jade pointed out.
"But luck is hard to come by…" Stella said…
"And that's why you're going to lose Pixies" Icy snarled at the group.
"Yeah… Hello we're not Pixies," Dani snarled at Icy.
"Come on Icy you think that you could beat us single-handed… screw luck," Bloom said as she went Winx.
"Way to jinx it Bloom, from where I stand I see a whole army strategically placed around us," Jade said pinching the bridge of her nose.
"Well then it's time to show them everything I learned," Aly grinned at them.
"Don't get to cocky," Jade said to Aly again, as she cracked her knuckles and began to scan the army for Jones.
"So what's the plan?" Stella whispered.
"Take out as many as you can without getting yourselves killed," Dani whispered back.
"Nice plan, let me help," Jade blinked and all the demons in her line of view imploded.
"Ha I told you that people could spontaneously implode," Daria said smugly to her sisters.
"It was assisted spontaneous combustion," Jessie said with a smug look.
"Ladies focus," Ivy said with a glance at her sisters.
"Remember, people Jones is mine… Aly wants to duke it out with Stormy… and I think Icy is after Bloom… which leaves everyone else to you," Jade said.
"Gee thanks, aren't there two 3 more members of the band of seven…" Achmed said cracking his knuckles.
"Yeah… I call the swordsman…" Koby said as he withdrew his sword.
"Be careful remember they are a lot stronger then before," Bloom said, as she flew in too meet Icy.
Jade opened her mouth to say something, but shut it and wheeled around dodged the oncoming blast, 'Good luck… cousin' Jade sent to Bloom as she charged towards Jade.
A small smile appeared on Bloom's face, as the battle began.
"Heel of oblivion!"
"FIELD OF LIGHTINING" Stormy yelled as lightning randomly hit the area around them.
"Hey Stormy…" Aly said pulling herself up from the ground, "Let's dance," with that Aly went Winx.
"Hello Traitor…" Darcy said appearing in front of Dani.
"For the last time I hate FAERIES!" Dani snarled as she blasted Darcy into the air as she took of after her.
Koby turned around only to be tackled by Hyo.
Achmed sighed and lunged himself at the massive horde of demons that were rushing towards them.
"So you showed up…stupid fool." Jones said. "I was kind of hoping I'd have to hunt your bony little ass down."
"Well, you found me. Come on, let's settle this." Jade said, raising her fists.
"Hmmmm, you mean let's get away from here before I burn your oldschool down…hmmmmm…" Jones said, her face getting a pondering look. "I'd rather do both."
And Jones slammed out her hands and the whole hallway filled with dark fire as Jones ignited every bit of oxygen there was, a solid wall of flame that exploded towards Jade and enveloped her form before she could even emit a scream.
Jones smiled.
And then Jade's form reappeared, barely visible in the smoke, as her body was now nearly see-through. Jade went tangible again, with a small comfort: Jones's dark fire may have been horrifically powerful, but at least they abided by real world physics.
Jones's smile turned into a clenched tooth look of pure fury.
"I'll turn every drop of water you have in your body into Cold MIST!" Icy screamed, as she reared back her hand and slashed it out, lines of deadly ice lancing from the motion, the bigger, nastier brothers of the ice daggers she had used either, arcing waves of energy that ripped into the floor, ceiling, and slagged walls.
Bloom did two things.
First she checked to make sure no one was behind her.
Then she went through the nearest wall. Smashing it, of course.
She found herself in a classroom, looking a small group of students who were being helped out through an open window by their teacher. Bloom recognized him: it was Mr. Petrie. Bloom had him for History of magic and an occasional Creatures class: he was rather humourless with his thin mouth and drawn features, but he was a good teacher, and he was looking at Bloom's floating form with a good deal of shock.
"Keep going! Get out of here! Quickly, before…!"
"KNOCK KNOCK!"
The door exploded off its hinges and Bloom whirled away at the last second, as the wooden door embedded itself two feet into the wall near the windows Mr. Petrie was helping the last few students out of. This clearly freaked him out, but he showed his strength of character as he continued helping the students out and didn't just jump out the window himself.
Icy started heading into the room, and then hit a wall, or as much of a wall as Bloom could erect in a second, as she flew into a corner of the room and let loose with several twin-handed Dragonfire blasts that slammed into the desks and sent them tumbling towards Icy in a storm of wood and metal.
The piles of desks stood there for a moment before a white glow lit from within them and then, with a furious scream, Icy smashed them all away from her, as desks slammed into the walls, ceiling, blackboard (shattering it) desk (severely denting it), windows (breaking them and sending any students who were nearby running for their lives, which probably saved them from being cut to shreds by flying glass), and the Dragonfire shield Bloom had formed in front of Mr. Petrie and the last student, a female, who hadn't made it out yet. The strange angle of the impact and resulting feedback caused Bloom to be tossed violently to the left, ending up near the spot where she had fired the blasts that had thrown the desks originally.
Icy approached again, as Bloom got up, ready…
Bloom felt fear bloom in her guts, as she tried to turn…
The ice blast didn't just shatter the remaining windows, it shattered the entire WALL, the whole part of the building exploding out as the students fled the firestorm of debris, steam billowing out after it as what was left collapsed, the wind carrying Icy's mad, triumphant laughter.
The dust and smoke began to clear, as Icy finally stopped her laughing…
And found she had nothing to laugh about, as Bloom stood revealed, her arms crossed and the shield she had formed finishing fading away. The impact of the blast had torn through her whole body, but she had managed to get a shield up and it had held.
"You…fucker." Icy hissed.
"The sentiment's returned." Bloom said as she lowered her arms, trying to hide the fact she'd like to do nothing more then collapse.
"Lady, you got some issues." Bloom said, as her strength finally kicked in again, and good thing, as Icy fired another lancing blast of ice at her as she flew up and over it.
"Ok, fight's on even ground now, so come on psycho! I'm ready for you!" Bloom yelled.
Icy backhanded Bloom across the entire hallway. She slammed into the lockers at the end so hard she left a dent, and slid down to the ground.
"Ok, I guess I wasn't so ready." Bloom moaned.
Bloom was getting to her feet, albeit tenderly, as Icy stepped through the hole Bloom and herself had made. Hate flashed across her countenance again, and she did a few quick hand motions. Bloom's eyes widened.
"That can't be good."
"DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Icy screamed as she thrust out her hands and fired off dozens of quick, lightning fast ice bolts.
"I hate it when I'm right!" Bloom yelled as she dodged/rolled to the side, as the lightning slammed into the lockers and the entire wall erupted with explosions as Icy vaporized everything where Bloom had just been standing.
"WAY AHEAD OF YOU!" Bloom yelled as she stood up and aimed the Incapacitator. Icy's eyes snapped to her.
"NO! NOT That!"
Bloom fired the Incapacitator a magical device that stopped powers.
And Icy shot from the hip, a needle of Ice that lanced out from her hand and struck the weapon, blowing it up in Bloom's hand as she reared back and yelled at the sudden pain…
Even as the blue bolt struck Icy in the forehead.
She went down like a ton of bricks.
