Wings Of Darkness: Part Two:
"So, let's get started." Bloom said.
"Shouldn't we wait until Flora gets back so we'll have the complete Winx Cub? Not to mention Flora doesn't have her full power yet," Techna advised.
"Good idea. In the meantime we can use our new abilities to recruit new members into the Winx Club. We'll start the next day. For now, Techna look over the book of the Oricalcos and see if there are any more abilities we can use."
"Right," Techna replied as she opened the book and started super-speed reading again. A few minutes later she was finished.
"Well, did you find anything?" Bloom questioned.
"Yes. I found out that we now possess the ability to teleport and use telekinesis. Also, we possess enhanced strength, speed and senses even we're not in our Winx forms."
"Cool," the girls said together.
"So, when is Flora a supposed to come home?" Asked Wendy.
"She should be home in about two days," Bloom answered.
"Well by then we'll probably be in complete control of the school," Musa remarked.
Outside the window, a shadow moved closer to hear easier. Sasha had seen the girls battle with the Witches and she had been terrified.
Flashback
"Wysperian Blast!" The Witches called out. Their crystals sent a blast of energy streaking at Flora, who was busy with Darcy. She moved to call out, but it was too late. The blast went straight through Floras' body. She cried out and crumpled to the street.
"FLORA, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Bloom cried. She clenched her fists so tight they bled. Suddenly Sasha felt a tremendous surge of power come from Bloom. She looked and saw that her energy had turned red, with flashes of dark lightning.
The next few minutes Sasha spent hiding. She'd seen what Bloom had done to the Witches. When the police arrived, she ran…..
End Flashback
The next day was a holiday, so the Winx Club held an assembly. All of the students attended. The teachers were off attending a conference at Red Fountain. The assembled fairies applauded as Bloom took the stage. She held up her hand for silence.
"Now, I know you all are curious about the new powers I and the other members of the Winx Club have shown." There was a murmur of affirmation from the audience.
"Recently I found a book that contained an ancient force of magic known as The Seal Of Oricalcos. That's how we've become so strong. But what you saw in my match with Sasha was only a taste of the power I have now. Watch," she said as she help up a heavy ceramic cup from the cafeteria. She squeezed and the cup shattered. The audience gasped.
"And that is only the amount of power I have when I'm not in my Winx mode."
"Can we see you at full power," one of the assembled girls asked.
"Sure, why not. After that maybe you'll be interested in becoming part of the Winx Club," Bloom replied.
Bloom's transformation was different this time. The dark fire that had covered her in the battle with the Witches came back. Her cloths vanished and the dark lightning played over her body, transforming into her new outfit. Then the lightning focused on her back and her black wings emerged. When the light show was over, the seal was on Bloom's forehead and her eyes were glowing red. There was silence, and then one girl started clapping. Another joined in and then another until the whole auditorium rang with praise.
"So, who among you want to have the power I do?' Bloom asked. Every hand in the auditorium went up. "Great! Now, everyone transform," Bloom ordered. "Now, I summon the sacred Seal of Oricalcos!" Bloom cried, and a giant version of the seal appeared on the ceiling and began to descend. Before the assembly, the Winx Club had pooled their powers and created a seal large enough to transform the entire school at once. As soon as the seal touched the floor, smaller seals surrounded the students. They each felt their powers grow as they received the mark of the Oricalcos. After that they all felt tired.
"I know you're all tired after that experience, but the teachers will be back tomorrow, so we need to evolve your powers to the final level right now. Are you up for it?" Bloom asked. There was a murmur of consensus.
"All right, Laura you're on," Bloom said as Laura joined Bloom on the stage and used her new powers at full strangth to do a Soul Fusion on the entire assembly. Each Fairy descended into their souls and joined with their dark sides. When the Soul Fusion was complete, the auditorium was aglow with red eyes and covered in black wings.
"All right everyone, now transform back to normal and get some rest. When the teachers come back tomorrow, we'll capture them and take over Alfea!"
Later that night the Winx Club was in Blooms' dorm, discussing how they were going to capture the Alfea teachers. They knew Ms. Faragonda could take away their magic, but it was a lengthy spell, so if they took her out quick it wouldn't be a problem. Professor Whiskis would undoubtedly use his transforming powers, so they would knock him out with a hypnosis spell. As for Professor Paladium and Ms. Grizelda, they had no idea. They had never seen either of them use much magic, so they didn't know what their capabilities were.
"We'll just have to wait and see," Bloom said. Since she had been the first fairy to receive the power of the Oricalcos she had been chosen as the leader. "Now remember, we're getting up early to get ready," Bloom said before turning in for the night.
Early the next morning, the students of Alfea were gathered in the front courtyard of Alfea, they were all in their Dark Angel forms. Bloom and the members of the original expanded Winx Club were in front of the gates. They watched as the hover bus with the teachers pulled up in front of the school. When Ms. Faragonda saw the girls new looks, she looked shocked.
"Who are you!" She demanded. Bloom chuckled at that.
"What, don't you recognize us Ms. Faragonda? We're the Winx Club. We've merely gotten some better powers. Actually, we've decided that our new powers are too powerful for you to teach us. So we've decided to take over Alfea and use it as our own training academy."
"How dare you! This school belongs to Magix, not a bunch of girls like you!" Ms. Grizelda replied.
"Oh, and just how are you planning stop us? You've seen what I can do, and now there are even more like me," Bloom said.
"Do you honestly think that we don't have a plan in case something like this happened?" Ms. G remarked. "We teachers are more than capable of handling a dozen delinquent pixies."
"Really, let's find out," Bloom said. She and the other Winx girls took flight. "Atonics Flame!" Bloom called out. The flames leapt from her hands but were stopped by Ms. Faragonda, who used a dampening spell.
"You have demonstrated that you do not deserve to be at this school." She summoned her power and prepared to remove the girls Winx.
"Powerus Revocorius! Magicu-," she stopped as a piercing sound filled the air. All the teachers covered their ears.
"That would be me," Mura said, as the teachers looked around for the source of the sound. "Now for another of my new attacks, I call this one Symphony of Chaos!" She held her hands out and a series of ear-shattering screeches hit the teachers. Ms. Grizelda recovered first. She summoned a staff with the symbol of Alfea on it.
"Stop now or pay the price!" She commanded. No one paid any attention to her. "Fine, Magic Jammer attack!" A blue beam shot out of her staff and hit Musa, who dropped to the ground as her power crashed. Bloom saw it and was instantly taken back to when the Witches injured Flora. She felt her power increase even more as she charged in.
"You'll pay for that!" She called out and summoned her full power. Her wings crackled with dark lighting. She brought her left hand out and focused all her power into it. "Take this! Solar Flare Blast!" She called as the fire ripped towards Ms. Grizelda. She brought up a barrier and blocked most of the attack, but some got through and knocked her staff out of her hands. She swiftly caught it with her telekinesis. "Now what are you going to do?" Bloom asked before knocking out the teacherwith a strike from her own staff.
She looked around to see how the rest of the battle was going. Professor Whiskis had been knocked out with some of Wendy's sonic missiles. She and Techna were currently winning over Poladium. Her flying daggers were no match for their combined powers. Ms. Faragonda on the other hand was doing quite well. She was fighting off Stella and Rebecca at the same time. She was draining their powers slowly but surly. Bloom rushed over to help.
"Solar Flash Pulse!" Stella called, summoning a blinding flash of light with her Solaria Staff. While Faragonda was off guard Rebecca created a Dark Hole to take her to the Alfea Dungeon, but she grew a pair of fairy wings and flew above it.
"I still remember how to use my old powers girls. In case you forgot, I was once a student at Alfea just as you are. Now, I'm giving you girls' one last chance to surrender."
"You can give it, but we won't take it," Rebecca replied.
"Very well," Faragonda replied, and launched a massive lighting attack at the two girls. Bloom stepped into the path of the attack and folded her wings in front of her. They crackled with dark lightning and Ms. Faragonda's attack was deflected.
"That's a new attack I just came up with. I call it Shadow Wall," Bloom said.
"Thanks Bloom," Rebecca replied.
"No problem, now let's finish this," Bloom stated. She had been pouring her energy into the staff she'd taken from Grizelda, and now she was ready to use it. "Faragonda, look what I have," Bloom boasted holding the staff.
"You'll never be able to use that Bloom. That staff is bonded to Grizelda," She stated. Bloom chuckled.
"Not anymore," she said as her energy traveled down the staff and changed it. The color turned a deep black, with the symbol becoming that of the Oricalcos and turning a dark red color. "I have more power than you could ever dream of you fool, and I'm about to unleash it all right now!" Suddenly a blast of energy hit Bloom in the back of the head, causing her to fall. She caught herself before she hit the ground, and turned to find Grizelda holding her hand out with a determined look on her face.
"You won't get away with this. Ms. Faragonda catch!" She called out, throwing the Headmistress a small disk. Techna recognized it at once.
"A magic teleporter. Bloom she's going to get away! Jamming it now," Techna reported but it was too late. Ms. Faragonda escaped in a flash of white light.
"Now everyone of the realm will know what you're up to," Grizelda gloated. Bloom hit her with a blast of energy from her new staff. She screamed and was unconscious.
"Take the teachers to the dungeons," Bloom ordered. "Isolate them from each other."
"What about when they wake up, they'll have their powers back," Rebecca warned.
"They won't wake up. Techna filled the cells with a sleeping gas. They won't wake up until we want them to," Bloom replied.
"Hey, when we wake Grizelda up, I want first crack at her," Electra said. Bloom nodded her head, not envying Grizelda when she woke up.
Ms. Faragonda appeared in Professor Saladin's office at Red Fountain. He looked up, surprised that she would drop in like that.
"Ms. Faragonda, what brings you here, and in such a hurry it seems," he said, indicating her teleportation disk.
"Professor, we have a very serious problem," she stated.
