Hello again, everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving! How are you all doing this Thursday of a holiday? I am SuperHeroTimeFan now coming back on the site to you, presenting a brand-new Chapter for my Winx Club and Kamen Rider Crossover story, Winx Club: Raidarix! It is great to know that you are all very supportive of me through these times, and with the story combined with the art, I like the feeling of this being a successful story. I will try to devote as much time to this as possible, but without you, I don't think I would be here, and for that, I thank you all for your continued support. I especially would like to thank Dragon Rider 66 for his interest way before I even started the story, as well as being the most frequent to review, WinxStarDracoFire for liking it as well, and many more of you for showing interest in a new take of a Winx Club crossover with Kamen Rider. It really means a lot to me. There were a lot of questions and compliments on the Chapter when it was updated on Halloween, which I answered, so to everyone to who Private Messaged me for the Story, your questions have been answered there. Now, with those out of the way, here is the fourth Chapter, which wraps up the second arc of the story. Please be sure to review, rate, and as always, please be sure to enjoy!
Chapter 4: Cymphonique: Destiny's Play
In memory of Sean Connery (August 25th, 1930 – October 31st, 2020)
And…
In memory of Kirby Morrow (August 28th, 1973 – November 20th, 2020)
The World's most expensive and masterful violin was created by a man from Italy, a Master of music known as Antonio Stradivari. Its name was known as Hammer, and in Japan, it was auctioned for four-hundred million yen. In terms of basic money, it is the equivalent of three-million eight-hundred fifty and nine-hundred and twelve dollars. The time it took to craft such an instrument has never been topped, but it is known that the art of crafting an instrument of elegance comes from the heart, from how one sees music. Never before has an instrument been made without a hint of heart or soul, without the love for music and beauty itself.
Stella looked to the man before her dumbfounded. He claimed to be Kurenai Otoya, but that would mean he would have been…
"The father of Wataru?" Stella asked.
"Yes," Otoya said as he put the Bloody Rose down. "You are in a position that I was once in, trying to make a violin of a master. My son also struggled, and it seems that you do too."
"What do you mean?" Stella asked as Otoya walked around her.
"You were drawn to the powers of Kamen Rider Kiva," Otoya said. "I once helped him in crafting his ultimate violin, but you… you need something more than my spirit," he said. "You require… a touch of magic."
"And… how do you plan to help me with that?" Stella asked. "I mean, I'm not that much of a music expert."
"Follow me… and you shall see." Otoya said, walking downstairs.
Stella looked to Otoya before looking to a glass of water. Quickly, she took it and threw the water over her. After letting out a few coughs, she looked to still see Otoya, now waiting at the bottom of the steps.
"Okay, so it's not a dream… okay," Stella said. "Guess I'd better find out what this is all about." She said before writing on a paper. She hung it on the finished pieces of her violin and walked out. On it, the paper read:
"WATARU, I HAVE GONE OUT TO FIND MY MUSE TO FINISH MY VIOLIN. I WILL BE BACK SOON. IF THE GIRLS ASK ABOUT ME, TELL THEM I AM WITH KURENAI OTOYA, BELIEVE IT OR NOT. SIGNED, STELLA."
In the quest to complete her violin, Stella has been confronted by who appears to be Kurenai Otoya, the first Kamen Rider Ixa, the successor of the powers of Kamen Rider Dark Kiva, and the father of Kurenai Wataru. Leaving with him, she goes to find what it means to truly hold the powers of Kamen Rider Kiva. Meanwhile, the Winx and the Kamen Riders now face the newest evolved Shokaijin, known to them by the mysterious Dark Fairy as Emperor Kiva, King of the Fangires.
At the lake, everyone was watching as Checkmate Fang, now turned into Emperor Kiva, let out a growl. The Dark Fairy grinned as she floated into the air.
"Let's see you still gain the powers of Kamen Rider Kiva after Knight has taken care of you, as Emperor Kiva," the Dark Fairy said. She was about to make another remark until she noticed something. "Wait… one of you is missing…"
"She knows Stella hasn't come." Flora whispered.
"We can't let her get to her!" Bloom panicked.
"Stella… so it is HER turn…" the Dark Fairy mused. She turned around. "Impressive, leaving her alone to seek the power she must have… but foolish for her to be unprotected. She shall fall before she gains the power!"
"I don't think so!" Roxy called out as she held her hand out. The Gold Saber appeared once again and she lunged at the Dark Fairy, sending them both crashing to the ground.
However, while Roxy remained in the air. The Dark Fairy only stood with her arms held out. Soon, her Sword of Shocker appeared, having blocked the blade, before she slashed her off. Roxy took to the air and narrowed her eyes at the Dark Fairy as she floated up, aiming the Sword of Shocker back at her.
"Don't let them get away!" Bloom called out before looking to the Ring of Solaria, the very Ring that Stella entrusted to her. "Hope this works," she said before placing it on her hand. As soon as it was on, the Scepter of Solaria formed in her left hand while she still held the Raidarix RyukiSaber. "Okay, Emperor Kiva! You're mine!" she called out before she and Wataru charged at the Shokaijin.
Emperor Kiva simply held out his hand, summoning a cannon version of the Bassha Magnum. He fired it, but Wataru slashed apart the blasts with his Zanvat Sword.
"Nice try!" Kivat Bat III quipped before Wataru slashed at him. Emperor Kiva held up his twisted Zanvat Sword and blocked the attack before Bloom struck at him.
"Try this!" Bloom called out as she slammed the Scepter of Solaria with the Raidarix RyukiSaber. Both weapons hit the Bassha Cannon before it suddenly turned into a more monstrous version of the Garulu Saber, now the size of the Zanvat Sword. He broke off and slashed Bloom and Wataru away before his symbol glowed behind him.
"What do we do?" Wataru asked.
"Leave it to me!" Taiga called out as Kivat Bat II flew off of his belt, where Sagarc flew on instead. "Henshin!" he called out, placing the Jacorder in.
HENSHIN!
Before Taiga could revert back into his human form, chains broke off of him, turning him into Kamen Rider Saga. He lashed at Emperor Kiva, who swatted the red cord aside before Wataru held his hand out.
DOGGA HAMMER!
The Dogga Hammer appeared in Wataru's hand as the Zanvat Sword was stabbed into the ground. As soon as he held it, he slammed at Emperor Kiva while Bloom spun and slashed at him. However, he managed to use his symbol to block the attacks before locking with Wataru once more.
In the air, Roxy grunted as she parried away each of the Dark Fairy's strikes. She managed to free herself from a chokehold before green energy surrounded her.
"Wolf Talon!" Roxy called out, sending forth several magic beams from her sword that turned into wolf heads.
The Dark Fairy spun around and slashed at the wolves. While most of them were taken out, the rest attacked her and sent her crashing to the ground. Roxy flew at her again and slammed her saber at her as Masao, armed with the Garulu Saber, slashed at her as well alongside Woz. As the three struck at her, the Dark Fairy held her sword up high.
"Don't think you'll win!" the Dark Fairy yelled.
"I'm thinking otherwise!" Roxy spat as she pushed back with incredible strength. As she did, lights from Woz and Masao suddenly flew to Roxy, surprising her. It went away as soon as she and the Dark Fairy broke off.
Bloom flew around Emperor Kiva, launching fireballs him while Wataru slammed the Dogga Hammer against his chest. Sparks flew across him several times before he managed to grab the head of the hammer.
"Nani?!" Wataru exclaimed.
Emperor Kiva threw Wataru off, the Dogga Hammer flying to the side, and blasted him across the chest. He was soon sent back, Tatsulot forced off and him out of Emperor Form.
"Wataru!" Taiga called out. He and Nago looked to each other and nodded before both slashing at Emperor Kiva, while Bloom flew in from above.
"Dragon Surge!" Bloom called out, sending a dragon crashing down onto Emperor Kiva from her Raidarix RyukiSaber.
Emperor Kiva flew back after breaking away from Nago and Taiga before getting sent forward from the Dragon Surge.
"We're not done yet!" Kivat called out. "Wataru!"
"Yeah!" Wataru yelled in agreement. He picked up his discarded Zanvat Sword and ran in, slashing Emperor Kiva away before kicking him towards Bloom, who charged up the Raidarix RyukiSaber once again.
"Dragon Knight Fire Slash!" Bloom called out as the Raidarix RyukiSaber gained a blade of glowing flames. She spun it around to create an X in midair before slashing through it, sending it right at Emperor Kiva and sending him to the ground.
The Dark Fairy backed away from Roxy's attacks as she continued to use her newfound powers to push her back. As she prepared to attack again, she noticed Emperor Kiva fall to the ground. As she turned back, Roxy slashed at her, sending the Sword of Shocker out of her hand. With her now disarmed, Roxy aimed her own sword at her neck.
"Don't move a muscle." Roxy ordered.
The Dark Fairy looked on blankly under her hood before teleporting away. Woz and Masao watched in shock before she reappeared next to Emperor Kiva, levitating him up.
"What now?" Tecna asked.
"Don't miss." Aisha said, forming a bow of Morphix while Tecna, Musa and Flora took aim as well.
"It seems there is room for improvement on my end," the Dark Fairy said before looking to everyone surrounding her. "Well done on a worthy battle… but the full picture is far from drawn." She said before teleporting away.
"Where'd she go?!" Flora asked.
"The search for the Raidarix Powers of Kiva is far from over," the voice of the Dark Fairy said from all around the area. "You haven't seen the last of Emperor Kiva." She said before letting out a laugh and setting the nearby tree on fire.
"We need to get to Stella…" Bloom said as she watched the tree burn. "Fast."
Meanwhile, walking downtown, Stella was going after Otoya Kurenai, who was calmly strolling along towards a theatre building.
"Where are we going, Mr. Kurenai?" Stella asked.
"You need a way to get inspiration, a way for you to create the violin that defines you," Otoya said. "You will find a man here, one who had himself a dream, and is friends with my son," he explained as he gestured inside as singing could be heard. "Just tell him that you know Wataru, and he will help you with whatever you need."
"Okay," Stella said as she started to walk in. "Thanks."
Otoya smiled and nodded. "I will be waiting outside when you're done." He said.
Stella nodded and made her way in, her shadow disappearing once she passed through the door. However, for a split second, Otoya seemed to cast a different shadow, one smaller than him.
"Soar up, burn up the blue sky, Till it stains bright red. Let's find the value of this bond, for you, if I believe… Now I find a way – Relation will never end. What you gave me, I'll protect it well as I fight, for you, if that is fate…"
Stella continued to follow the singing voice until she came across a man with a red shirt, black hair and a black vest on. He pressed a button on his recording device to hear his verse again.
"That's a real good song," Stella said, getting the man to turn back around. "Sorry for barging in unannounced, but that was so good, and I didn't want to ruin the song."
"It's okay," the man replied, his language sounding English, just as everyone else in Japan was speaking to Stella and the rest of the Winx. "Who are you?"
"Stella," Stella replied. "Who are you?"
"Kengo," the man replied, holding his hand out, which Stella shook. "My name is Kengo Eritate. What are you doing here?"
"Well, I'm trying to find a muse, believe it or not," Stella replied. "And I was told you could be able to help me."
"Well, I used to play the guitar," Kengo said. "But to be honest, I never had any real rock talent, and I suffered some hand and shoulder injuries a couple of years ago. They have already healed, but I'm trying to become a musician the right way now," he said, causing Stella's eyes to widen. "Who said I could help you?"
"Wait…" Stella said. "You're that Kengo?" she asked. "Of course! Wataru mentioned you!"
"You know Wataru?" Kengo asked in surprise. "That awesome violinist?"
"You know it!" Stella replied. "I… take it you know more about him too?" she asked.
"That he is Kiva, yes," Kengo replied, nodding in confirmation. "We didn't exactly share the same dreams. I wanted to become a rock star, and he wanted to create the ultimate violin, to be better than his father, Otoya Kurenai," he explained. "No matter what, we always supported each other in our dreams… until we had a falling out, that is."
"Oh, sounds bad," Stella said. "What happened?"
"When Nago Keisuke disappeared, and with most of the Blue Sky Organization under arrest at one point, Wataru and I were charged with becoming Fangire Hunters," Kengo explained. "During that time was when I got injuries in my hand and shoulders. I couldn't play guitar for a while, and I blamed the whole thing on Wataru, especially when Nago decided to make him his apprentice over me. I was bitter the entire time, and took up the role of being Kamen Rider Ixa," he went on. "After almost killing him under paranoid orders from the former director, I went and apologized directly to Wataru. It took him a while, but we reconnected."
"It's not easy to have some good friendships last long," Stella mused. She let out a sigh and sat down on the chair next to Kengo. "Me and my boyfriend have had our fair share of falling outs. There have been times when I wouldn't forgive him for weeks, or what seemed like weeks, and we'd hardly talk to each other. At some times, I find myself always relying on him. I have been a bit spoiled at times in my life, after all."
"You don't need others to make your dreams come true," Kengo said. "You have to make those happen yourself, or they won't happen at all," he said. "I learned that the hard way. It's all thanks to Wataru that I managed to even get so far in my life. If he's teaching you, then you've got the best teacher there is when it comes to both music and the heart."
Stella smiled. "Thanks, Kengo," she said before looking to some music sheets. "So, if you're not playing the guitar… what do you do with your music?"
"I write songs," Kengo replied. "Some of them I give to others, who credit me in return," he explained. "Wataru even played a few songs that I wrote. How good are you in music?"
"Well, I'm part of a band," Stella replied. "Not the main singer, but I've got some good vocal chords."
"Take this, then, as a way of thanks for helping me to remember Wataru, and for you to continue being his student," Kengo said, handing a folder of his music sheets to Stella. "I hope you're as good as you say."
"Thanks," Stella said as she made her way to the door. "Never give up on my dreams… I need to always make sure of that." She said before making her way out.
Outside, Otoya was waiting. Stella looked to the music sheets she had gathered and put them away.
"It looks like you got what you needed," Otoya said. "Now, we need to make a couple more stops," he stated. "You'll have what you need to make your own violin in no time."
"Where to now?" Stella asked.
"To an old friend of mine," Otoya replied as he and Stella passed by a couple. "One who can help you to understand the part of Wataru that made him into Kiva in the first place… and the one who started his entire lineage."
The couple looked on as Stella followed Otoya. Only one thought was spoken out from the woman's mind.
"Who is she talking to?"
At Wataru's house, Wataru was looking to the letter that Stella left behind. The rest of the Winx, the Specialists, Woz, Taiga, Nago and Masao, were with him as well.
"Where is she?" Flora asked.
"Gone," Wataru said. "She went for a walk, and a way to find the right inspiration," he explained. His eyes widened upon seeing another part of the letter. "And… she's with… my father?"
"Otoya?" Woz asked. "But… that can't be."
"Megumi…" Wataru said as he looked to Megumi, who was coming up from downstairs with Shizuka. "You told me a while back that I somehow knew your mother during a Fangire incident, am I correct?" he recalled.
"Yes, you were acting as if you knew her," Megumi confirmed, nodding as well to emphasize. "Almost like you were a different person."
"That's right," Nago said. "You certainly weren't like yourself at the time. Almost like you were…"
"Kurenai Otoya… my Grandfather," Masao finished up. "It was said that his spirit came from beyond the grave at one point."
"Either he's come back as a ghost… or Stella somehow saw his actual return," Kivat said. "I will go and check if she is safe."
"Please do," Bloom said before looking to a mirror. "And you'll have some help too."
The mirror warbled, and soon, Sakura walked out.
"Wow!" Taiga exclaimed. "How did that happen?"
"Long story," Bloom simply explained before turning to Sakura. "Sakura, the one who created Double Dragon, the Dark Fairy, has shown herself, and she's trying to stop us from gaining the Raidarix Powers of Kiva," she explained. "And while Stella was the one drawn to the power, she's gone. Do you think you can help Kivat and Sagarc find her?"
"I will try," Sakura said. "I'll look everywhere in Mirror World and the real world until I find her."
"Thank you, Sister." Bloom said with a smile.
"Any time, Sis." Sakura replied back before she walked back into the mirror. She was immediately transformed into Kamen Rider Ryuga, and rode off on her Ride Shooter while Kivat Bat III, Kivat Bat II, Kivat Bat IV, Sagarc and Tatsulot all flew off out the window.
"What do we do in the meantime?" Aisha asked.
"We trust that Stella can take care of herself," Bloom said. "You all would trust me to do the same thing, and from what you told me during the first mission to gain my own Raidarix, I know that she can make it through, just as I did."
"Right," Roxy said before looking to her hands, which started glowing again, only red-purple and gold this time. She turned to Woz and Masao. "Any of you know what happened back there?" she asked.
"I don't know," Masao replied. "Whatever happened is a complete mystery to me."
"I am uncertain," Woz replied as well. "In my time serving Zi-O, not even he has gained a power like what you have had."
"Well, I'm sure we can work out what happened with it," Roxy said before looking back on her fight. Holding her hand out, she summoned the Gold Saber in her hand. "Maybe… maybe it's because of how I was a Believix Fairy for so long," she guessed. "Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased with the powers I have, and the powers I will gain in the future, but maybe something is trying to push me to a new power, one that I will gain before I get my first Raidarix."
"Perhaps," Woz said before looking to Masao. "You have certainly come a long way from when you arrived in this time back in 2008," he said. "You may be from 2039, but you have the will and spirit of Zi-O and Geiz."
"I appreciate it," Masao said. "To be honest, in the future, I haven't even gained the inheritance of Tatsulot yet. While I am Neo Kiva, I still have a ways to go. I was hoping that by helping my family fight the Neo Fangire after they came to this time, I could prove myself worthy of the true powers of Kiva."
"Maybe you've proven yourself enough when you're from," Flora suggested as she walked over. "I mean, you've gotten the main basic three forms of Kiva, from what we've seen in our fight against the Dark Fairy and Emperor Kiva," she pointed out. "Surely, even if you think you have more to prove… you might already have it."
Masao gaped in surprise as he looked up, thinking over the words that Flora had told him. "I might… have it… already." He said to himself.
Woz looked over before looking to the blank Ridewatch in his possession. "Not yet," he said to himself. "Why?"
"How did you get the Alternative Ridewatch?" Tecna asked.
"Alternative, while not a real Kamen Rider, strode to protect his family, his loved ones," Woz explained. "And while not a real Kamen Rider, he had the goals of one."
"You also hadn't met him, so that was an easy go for you," Tecna added on. "You need to connect more with Masao."
Woz smiled. "You're right," he admitted. "I guess even you girls can teach a mentor like me a few new things."
Meanwhile, near a bridge, Stella was continuing to follow Otoya around.
"Okay, we've been traveling long enough," Stella said. "So who's this other friend you wanted me to meet?"
"You'll see," Otoya said as he walked to the path leading underneath the bridge. "Follow me right here, Princess."
Stella blinked a few times at the wording of the sentence. "How did he know…?" she asked herself before trailing off. "Never mind." She said, following Otoya again.
Under the bridge, Stella found a small hut, well-built and sturdy-looking. Outside, a pot was baking over a fire, and a woman walked out. She had black hair and with an eye-patch over her eye. She got the food out from the pot and started to put in more ingredients.
"Who… who is that?" Stella asked.
"You don't need to ask him," the woman replied. "I may have lost an eye, but I can still hear just as well."
Stella gasped at what the woman said. She cleared her throat and walked over, bowing with respect.
"Forgive me," Stella apologized. "I didn't mean to come off as rude."
"I know, and I also know what you are," the woman said, taking out some freshly-baked meat in some stew. "I met your kind before… a Fairy."
"Wait… how did you know?" Stella asked in surprise.
"Because I have met them over the years, seeker of Kiva," the woman said. "After all, a Fangire can live for years."
"You're a Fangire?" Stella asked.
"I was," the woman replied. "I'm sure you've met one of my sons already. A master violinist of all kinds."
"You're… Wataru's mother?" Stella asked.
"The former Queen of the Fangires and of Checkmate Four," the woman said, holding up her hand. "I am Maya."
"Of course!" Stella exclaimed. "I met someone who connected me with the human side of Wataru. You can help me understand the Fangire side."
"Well, being Kiva is more than being a Fangire and a human," Maya said. She sat down on a bench and poured out the meat stew into two bowls. "Take a seat and a bowl. This will take a while to explain."
"I'm sure it will." Stella said in agreement. She sat down and started to pray after seeing Maya doing the same thing.
Meanwhile, on top of a building, the Dark Fairy flew in, with Emperor Kiva next to her as a flurry of bats disappeared as soon as he arrived.
"They're getting better," the Dark Fairy said. "It seems we will need to find Stella before she can get the full powers of Kiva for herself."
"They are getting stronger," Emperor Kiva agreed as he looked around. "I'll need more…" he started before noticing something. "This structure…" he started to realize. "It is the source of the Neo Fangire!"
"I can offer only so much additional power without a Dark Raidarix from a Rider themselves," the Dark Fairy said. "You will be getting no more. If you need an army to deal with the Winx and the Kamen Riders… you have all you need right here," she said. "Just mark your sign… and they will be yours to command."
Emperor Kiva growled as he let out his symbol, which turned into a monstrous version of Kamen Rider Kiva's symbol. Sending it down to the ground, several balls of Life Energy started to glow.
Sakura noticed what was happening as she rode through Mirror World. Riding out from her Ride Shooter, she watched the lights spark. Everyone else noticed too and started to scream and run for cover.
"Kivat! Tell the Winx we didn't find Stella…" Sakura said as she saw several monsters form from the structure. "But we found the Dark Fairy… and Emperor Kiva too!"
"Yogatta!" Kivat Bat III called out.
"Leave it to us!" Tatsulot added on before the flying creatures took off.
"I'll try to buy them time." Sakura said before she got back into her Ride Shooter. She rode through Mirror World and took off.
Back at Wataru's house, the Bloody Rose began to play.
"Emperor Kiva!" Wataru exclaimed.
"The Dark Fairy too, I assume." Roxy added on.
All of the Kivat Bats flew in with Sagarc and Tatsulot.
"If you heard the violin play, you know what's going on." Kivat Bat II said.
"Emperor Kiva is enacting his plan again." Brandon said.
"We need to get there and help Sakura," Bloom said. "I'm betting she's already engaged."
"We're with you." Sky said.
"We'll need you all this time," Kivat Bat III said. "Emperor Kiva has started something with all the Neo Fangire."
"Oh no," Masao said with horrific realization. "I know what's happening."
"What?" Nago asked.
"In my time. It was said that the souls of the Neo Fangire, which are the old Fangire reborn and with more power, can only be awakened if someone with the full powers of the Fangire King can awaken them," Masao explained. "And if Emperor Kiva is anything like the actual Kiva…"
"He's got himself an army!" Flora exclaimed in realization.
"No more wasting time," Bloom said. "Let's go!"
Back with Maya, Stella was looking at the fire die down.
"Your sons defeated the Fangire King," Stella said. "Why do you continue to hide?"
"While many people from my time as Queen have moved on, I still live a mortal life," Maya replied. "While it has its advantages, such as coming to understand life as Otoya and Yuri saw it, I have my limitations as well."
"How long have you lived?" Stella asked.
"Longer than even the Earth Fairies," Maya replied. "I knew both Stradivari and Vivaldi. There was no one else like them, until I met Otoya," he said. "He truly knew what music was… because he knew that it came from the heart. He lived by music, and playing from his heart was what made him into a good man."
"So… I need to use the powers of Kiva… from the heart…" Stella deducted.
"It takes more than being a human and being a Fangire to become Kiva," Maya said. "Even a child can become Kiva, but only if they know one thing… to always act out of the heart… not from the reality."
"From the heart, and not from reality," Stella repeated. She thought back to when she was talking with Kengo to how she was putting so much work into her violin. "That's what I've been learning all along. Make the dream not a reality… but come true from the heart," she realized. "Otoya was right!"
"Not Otoya…" Maya said as Otoya walked over. "He's been gone for a long time."
"Then… who have I been talking to?" Stella asked.
Maya smiled as she looked to Otoya. Stella looked to him as well before a light shone from him. When it cleared, he was now a pink Kivat with red eyes.
"Kivat," Stella said. "But… a pink one."
"Forgive me for the ruse," the Kivat said. "I am meant to be for the one who will gain the powers of Kamen Rider Kiva's Raidarix," she said. "And you… you certainly have what it takes."
"Well, that means something," Stella said. "Thanks."
"Now, accept Kivat…" Maya said. "Let it bite you."
Stella gaped. "B-bite me?!"
Downtown, the Specialists were helping as everyone was running from the newly reborn Neo Fangire.
"This way!" Helia called out.
"Come on!" Timmy called, helping guide more people too.
The Dark Fairy looked down as she and Emperor Kiva landed on the ground. Recreated versions of the Bat, Swallowtail, Lion and both versions of the Pearlshell Fangires appeared with them.
"My army…" Emperor Kiva called out, raising his sword. "Today, we of the supreme race will feast! Fangire and Legendorga alike! Tonight we strike!"
"Not today!" Tecna called out as she flew over. "Particle Pulse!"
Several Fangires were caught in the blast and were destroyed before Sakura shot fire at several more. The Dark Fairy growled and flew at her, the two locking blades immediately.
"So here you stand," the Dark Fairy said. "I never thought you would have survived."
"You won't after today!" Sakura yelled before kicking the Dark Fairy away.
The Dark Fairy growled and shot a fire ball, but a second fire blast destroyed it. Everyone looked to it as it knocked aside several Neo Fangire before the Raidarix Shooter rode out, knocking aside several more. The cover lifted, revealing Bloom in her Ryuki Raidarix Form. She got up from her seat and walked forward as her own dragon flew into the air, attacking more of them.
"I've been looking for you," Bloom said as the Dragreder flew, transforming into the Raidarix RyukiSaber and landing in her hand. "Hope you didn't miss me too much."
"We're just getting started!" the Dark Fairy exclaimed. "We'll turn this city into a warzone and take the powers of the Sun, the Moon, and even Kiva himself!"
"Sorry to say…" a voice said as Kivat flew and attacked several Fangires. He flew back to Wataru, transformed into Kamen Rider Kiva, holding the Zanvat Sword. "But I'm not about to hand over my powers, or let this city go to ruin," he said before destroying seven Fangires with a single stroke. "Did you really think it would have been that easy?"
"I WOULD be disappointed if you didn't provide a challenge," the Dark Fairy said. "But I'm glad I proved you wrong."
"Kivat," Bloom said as she walked over to Wataru. "Any signs of Stella?"
"No signs yet," Kivat Bat III replied. "We came across the Dark Fairy and Emperor Kiva first."
"Wherever she is, let's just hope they're okay, and not a single one of these Fangires knows where she is," Bloom said. "You all ready?"
"Yeah," Wataru said, spinning around the Zanvat Sword as Taiga as Kamen Rider Dark Kiva and Nago as Kamen Rider Ixa walked up next to him and Bloom, Sakura joining them soon afterwards. "Let's get to work, Bloom-Tachi."
Bloom nodded as she aimed the Raidarix RyukiSaber out. As she did, the rest of the Winx rode in on their Raidarix Bikes, Masao riding next to Roxy as Tecna, Aisha, Musa and Flora flew next to Bloom in their Cosmix Forms.
"Time to get to work." Roxy said, drawing her own sword.
"I hope you pack more of a punch than last time, Fake Kiva," Aisha said, her hands being surrounded with Morphix Energy. "I wouldn't want this to get too disappointing."
"Oh, I will." Emperor Kiva said before raising his own sword. Letting out a yell as soon as he brought it down to aim at the Winx Club, the Specialists and the Kamen Riders, the Neo Fangire with him charged.
"Let's go!" Woz called out.
Everyone yelled and ran at the army as well, Bloom and Wataru taking the lead as they slashed away at the Neo Fangire immediately.
Woz took out the Alternative Ridewatch and placed it onto the Beyondriver.
TOEI! ARMOR TIME! ADVENT! ZERO! ALTERNATIVE!
Woz held his hands out and soon gained the Alternative Armor. Arming himself with the Slash Dagger, he struck at more Fangires while Roxy, not transformed yet, dodged an attack from another one of the Neo Fangires.
Roxy spun around her sword and slashed at several Neo Fangire, each strike turning them into glass statues before a Neo Fangire armed with a lance slammed its lance at her. She backed away just as Masao charged in with a Fuestle in hand, placing it onto Kivat Bat IV's mouth.
BASSHA MAGNUM!
A time portal opened up, and the Bassha Magnum flew to Masao. He shot several rapid blasts at the lance-wielding Neo Fangire, sending it back.
Back under the bridge, Stella looked to the new Kivat. She held her arm out and watched as she flew towards her.
"You know what it will take to gain the Raidarix of Kiva," Maya said. "This will prove if you are truly worthy of the power."
Stella continued to watch as Winx Kivat flew towards her. However, she started to think back to Wataru, when he played the violin for her the first time. The devotion to his music was more than just a passion of a violinist.
Then she thought back to Kengo. Aside from his fallout with Wataru, he knew him as a kind person, and accepted him for who he was, despite him being a Fangire.
Finally, she thought of herself, when she was with the Winx, and when making her violin. Throughout the time she was crafting her own instrument, she was filling it with the good memories she had with her friends as time went on. She also remembered the kindness that Wataru showed, and how it differed from the Fangires she was told so much about.
At that moment, before Kivat could bite Stella's hand, she pulled it away.
"Having second thoughts?" Maya asked.
Stella shook her head. "I know what's going on here," she said. "I know what to do."
"What is it?" the new Kivat asked.
"It doesn't take using the powers of a Fangire to gain the Raidarix of Kiva," Stella responded. "It all comes from the heart, from your passion. It didn't matter if I wasn't into music. The kindness from my friends, the same kindness that Wataru showed, and Otoya as well, made them into the rightful inheritors of Kiva," she said. "If I become something, it won't be something I am not. I will fight with my own power… with the passion that defines just who Kiva is!"
At that moment, the violin Stella left at Wataru's house glowed. The same light it shone appeared in front of Stella, and it started to form into a new violin. When it cleared, the violin was a lighter shade than that of the Bloody Rose. The head of it had the symbol of the Winx Club on it, and the words Winx Club was written on the side.
Stella looked on in amazement as she took the violin in her hand. "This is it…" she said. "This is my own violin… my passion… the Fairy Wing."
"Very good," Kivat said. "But… there is one thing missing still."
"What is that?" Stella asked.
The new Kivat flew to Stella, and bit it. However, unlike a normal Kivat bite, it felt soothing, with no pain. Flying off, the new Kivat gained the symbol of the Winx on her forehead.
"You can call me now… Winx Kivat."
"And you will need something else," Maya said. She walked into her hut and took out a case. "I had a feeling you would need this. While you have accepted the powers of Kiva… you still need Raidarix from my son himself."
Stella looked to the case and opened it. Upon seeing its contents, she smiled and looked up.
"Thank you."
Brandon swung his sword at the Neo Fangire, with green energy sparks appearing with each strike. He kicked away the Spider Fangire before spinning around, slashing another one of the Neo Fangire to the ground.
Aisha watched as several of the Neo Fangire ran at her. She cracked her neck before flying at them, sending kicks to two of their chests, causing them to fall back, where they faded away. As soon as she landed, she grinned and ran at three more, slashing at them with a Morphix Staff before sending a strong kick to another, leaving a hole in its chest.
"Wow," Aisha mused. "These things are way different than Heartless."
"I'll say!" Riven called out. He spun out of the way of several more of the Neo Fangire, these ones white with larva-like designs. Several more blue dragonfly-like Neo Fangire then joined in, but Riven managed to spin out of the way of most of them before using his sword to block an attack from a nearby monster using its throwing star weapon to slash at him. He pushed it off before spinning around again, sending the Neo Fangire flying around her.
"Heads up!" a voice yelled.
At that moment, Musa flew in, taking down the scattered monsters. Riven, Brandon and Aisha looked on in amazement before she stopped and flew down, armed with a flute in her hand. She sent several cosmic music notes at the Neo Fangire, taking them out with a sonic boom on each hit.
"Whoa…" Aisha said in awe.
"Now I remember the reason I love that girl." Riven said.
At the same time, Kamen Rider Neo Kiva and Kamen Rider Woz were slashing at the Neo Fangire together before Roxy leapt back.
"You two okay?" Roxy asked.
"Why haven't you transformed?" Masao asked.
"I've tried several times, but I can't," Roxy said, blocking another attack. "I've tried my Believix, but that energy…" she started before realizing something. "There was nothing wrong."
"What?" Woz asked.
"Every time I was helping the Winx, even after I came to Alfea, I was holding back," Roxy said. "I've been held back for a long time, but I've never been able to go beyond the power I was born with… until I met you two, two who held back like me."
"So, what are you saying?" Masao asked.
"I'm going in again," Roxy said. "And Masao… if I'm right… you gained a power beyond Emperor… something that truly makes you Kamen Rider Kiva," she said. "Try it!"
"Got it!" Masao called out. He held his hand into the air, but stopped and looked to Woz. He took out something from his side and threw it to him. "We're out of our shadows now."
Woz looked to the device and saw a Miridewatch with the face of Neo Kiva on it.
"Alright," Woz said. "Let's go!"
"Magic Winx! Power Up!" Roxy called out.
"Neo Tatsulot!" Masao called out.
Woz clicked the new Miridewatch.
NEO KIVA!
Roxy started to glow, her green and pink lights turning to red-pink and gold. Flying through the air, several animals flew next to her before all entering her. Spinning around, she held her arms out, gaining a red-violet sleeveless top and skirt with gold trim, as well as long gold fingerless gloves on both of her arms. She gained red-violet and gold toeless boots, and in front of her was the Gold Saber, which was now gold and violet with the symbol of the Winx as a new guard. Grabbing it, she spun it around before bringing it down.
For Masao, a new version of Tatsulot appeared, with the colors of Dogga, Bassha and Garulu on its top. It flew onto Masao's wrist immediately.
"HENSHIN!"
Bats flew onto Kamen Rider Neo Kiva, opening up his Hell's Gate. Soon, instead of entering Emperor Form, he gained the chest of Dogga, the right arm of Bassha and the left arm of Garulu. His helmet turned to the Emperor Form head, and with a motion of his arm, his red cape appeared from a golden flame.
Woz placed the Neo Kiva Miridewatch onto the Beyondriver and closed it.
ACTION! TOEI! FUTURE TIME! WAKE UP! GABU! FUTURERING NEO KIVA!
With the Miridewatch activated, Woz's center stripe turned red, with bat wings on his shoulders. His top visor also turned red, with the tops of Kamen Rider Kiva's visor appearing on the sides. Flicking his arms like Kiva, he now entered a new form.
"This is… Futurering Neo Kiva." Woz said to himself.
Roxy was now floating in midair, holding her sword while her new form shone to everyone, friend and foe alike. She looked to Masao, who was now in his own final form, which was a combination of the DoGaBaKi and Emperor Forms.
"A new Believix," Roxy said as she looked to herself. "And my own sword… a Raidarix Saber."
"I am now a true Kiva," Masao announced. "This is the real me!" he called out, summoning his own Zanvat Sword.
Kamen Rider Kiva grinned under his helmet. "That's the son I know," he said. "Right, Kivat?"
"Yeah," Kivat replied before Wataru spun around, blocking a strike from Emperor Kiva. "Kivat Ikuze!"
Bloom flew back from an attack from the Dark Fairy, using both the Raidarix RyukiSaber and the Scepter of Solaria, before Roxy caught her.
"You okay?" Roxy asked.
"I am now that you're here," Bloom said with a smile. She and Roxy turned back to the Dark Fairy. "Let's go together."
"One more makes no difference." The Dark Fairy spat.
Bloom and Roxy flew at the Dark Fairy, who flew right back. The three locked blades immediately, circling through the air. Breaking off, Roxy struck at her low while Bloom performed high attacks. The Dark Fairy laughed and parried off all of their attacks before eventually locking with Bloom.
"Wild Uppercut!" Roxy called out, causing a surge of animals to appear and strike up at the Dark Fairy from below.
The Dark Fairy staggered back before Bloom blasted her away with her Drag Claw end of the Raidarix RyukiSaber. As the Dark Fairy countered, Roxy flew in again, and with her Raidarix Saber, slashed her back, sparks flying across.
"Not bad," the Dark Fairy said before placing the Sword of Shocker away. "But nowhere near as good enough!" she spat as her leg started charging up.
Bloom gasped before she charged up her own leg, the symbol of Ryuki showing behind her.
"Shocker Kick!" the Dark Fairy yelled, flying up.
"Raidarix Dragon Kick!" Bloom announced, flying up as well.
Everyone watched as Bloom and the Dark Fairy flew at each other, foot first. Both kicks collided with each other, and Bloom and the Dark Fairy found themselves struggling to gain advantage over one another. Finally, an explosion went off, and the two were sent back to the ground, Bloom staggering back while the Dark Fairy held her stance.
"Bloom!" Roxy yelled. She flew down as Bloom leaned against a wall, with the rest of the Winx Club and Specialists dashing over.
"You okay?" Sky asked.
"I never expected such power!" Bloom exclaimed.
"You have seen nothing yet!" Emperor Kiva yelled. He raised his Zanvat Sword, which started to grow and glow a violent red color. However, before he could execute his attack, something struck him, disrupting it.
"You dare to call yourself Kiva?"
Everyone looked to see Winx Kivat before she struck again.
"Sister!" Kivat Bat III exclaimed.
"So, the Kivat appears at last…" the Dark Fairy remarked.
"Know that the Raidarix goes to one person alone! And it will never be you!"
Turning their heads, everyone gasped at the sound of the new voice, a familiar sound. Coming from the road, Stella emerged, holding her new violin in hand, as well as a violin bow that resembled the Zanvat Sword.
"I know now, Wataru, what it means to become Kiva!" Stella called out. "I know the passion that was always within me… the music that tells me to keep on moving no matter what happens!"
"You finally got it!" Wataru exclaimed with some joy in his voice. "If you truly understand…" he said before letting the symbol of Kiva appear beneath him. "Then my Raidarix belongs to you!" he called out, sending the symbol towards Stella.
"No!" the Dark Fairy yelled. She roared and lunged at Stella, only for Woz to suddenly grab her with a chain from his arm.
"Heretic! You dare to interrupt this inheritance ceremony?" Woz asked. He leapt up and two Hell's Gate wings appeared from his arms. "Go back and watch this unfold!" he ordered, sending two shattering strikes at the Dark Fairy, sending her back to Emperor Kiva.
"I knew you could do it, Stella!" Bloom called out as Stella started to glow. "Now we've got two Raidarix powers on our side!"
"You did great too, Roxy." Aisha said, patting Roxy on the back.
"Truth be told, I'm still learning how to fight." Roxy said while shyly blushing.
The light stopped, and soon, the symbol of Kiva, with the Winx symbol behind it, appeared on Stella's palm. She looked to it before holding it out. "Let's do this, Winx Kivat!" she called out.
"Winx Kivat Ikuze!" Winx Kivat called out before flying to Stella. She grabbed her and held her to her arm.
GABU!
Winx Kivat bit Stella's arm, and her Kivat Belt appeared over her waist. Now grinning with the Winx symbol appearing on her forehead, Stella held Winx Kivat out.
"Magic Winx: Raidarix! Kiva!" Stella called out, placing Winx Kivat onto the perch.
Stella flew up, chains surrounding parts of her body. She curled up and spun around, bats flying all around her. A violet wave spread out around her before the chains broke, revealing the bats on her. Soon, she swung her arms open, breaking the chains, before the symbol of Kiva appeared on her chest. The chains on her chest broke off to reveal a crimson chest plate, with silver shoulder pads and a black bodysuit underneath. Holding up her left hand, her Fairy Wing violin flew on, and her right leg gained the Hell's Gate, with the left leg gaining a black boot. Holding out her right hand, the Zanvat Bow appeared, and wings resembling the symbol of Kamen Rider Kiva appeared on her back. Swinging out both of her weapons, her transformation completed.
"Whoa!" Brandon exclaimed in awe.
"This event in history… must not go unnoticed!" Woz called out as he stepped up. "Iwae! The ones to next inherit the powers of all Riders, ascending beyond time and space! The next Raidarix has been obtained from the Fangire Rider, Kamen Rider Kiva, and his power goes to Stella, Fairy of the Sun and the Moon. She stands before you now as Stella Kiva Raidarix. Break the chains and embrace the moment where she inherits the next of many Heisei Riders' powers!"
"I'm about to go supernova on you all!" Stella called out.
"You curs…" the Dark Fairy scowled before looking to Emperor Kiva. "Take it from her if you have to!"
Emperor Kiva chuckled as he started to advance.
"Come on, Stella…" Flora said.
(Play Destiny's Play Re-Union)
Stella calmly remained where she was and lifted up the Fairy Wing violin. She spun around the Zanvat Bow and started to play it, time seeming to slow down around her. As she played, a bright light shone from her. Everyone looked on in awe as she continued to play, even as Emperor Kiva neared. After plucking the second-to-last notes, she played the last of the song and unleashed the symbol of Kiva onto Emperor Kiva.
"Let's go Kiva!" Stella called out, charging forward. She flew and landed a kick on Emperor Kiva, sending him back, but not finishing him off. She landed and placed her Zanvat Bow in a reverse-grip to grab a punch sent by the Kiva Shokaijin. Sending the fist into the air, she sent forth a series of rapid punches at Emperor Kiva before he slashed at her with his sword. However, she held up the Fairy Wing to block it. As she did, she placed the guard of her sword on Emperor Kiva's shoulder, and slid it down on the blade. Rosin started to appear, giving the blade a brief pink glow, before she slid it up, and unleashed a sonic wave. Playing the violin again, she sent forth several symbols of Kiva that knocked Emperor Kiva back.
"She's good!" Musa exclaimed.
"Wait," Masao said, noticing the Dark Fairy flying at Stella. "Woz… Ikuzo!"
Woz nodded and leapt at the Dark Fairy, attacking with the Zikan Despear while Masao struck with his own Zanvat Sword.
Stella smiled before taking out a Fuestle. She flipped it and placed it into Winx Kivat's mouth.
GARULU SABER!
Stella played the rhythm, and the Garulu Saber appeared in her left hand. Using both swords, she blocked an upper attack from Emperor Kiva before slashing him across the chest with the wolf sword. As soon as he was pushed back, she placed a green Fuestle in.
BASSHA MAGNUM!
Once again, Stella played the rhythm for the Bassha Magnum, and it materialized in her right hand while the Garulu Saber disappeared. Flying into the air, she went around her enemy and fired from all sides, disorienting him.
The Dark Fairy grunted as she was pushed back by the two Kamen Riders. Woz let out two blades from his arms, resembling Kiva's wings, and slashed her back, before Bloom and Roxy appeared, slashing at her and causing her to fall.
"How do you like us now?" Roxy asked.
"STILL not impressed!" the Dark Fairy spat before sending out fireballs towards the four.
Woz grinned as Bloom held her arm out. "Droste Trap!" she called out, causing the fireballs to enter several mirrors that surrounded the Dark Fairy.
ZIKAN DESPEAR! KAMASHISUGI!
The Dark Fairy gasped as he attacks came back at her from all different angles. As she struggled to evade them, with little success, Woz flew in and slashed her into a mirror, one which shot back one of her spells one last time before it eventually shattered.
Stella tossed the Bassha Magnum into the air before looking to Bloom. "Bloom! My Ring!" she called out.
Bloom grinned before tossing the Ring of Solaria. St6ella held out her hand and let it slide onto her finger before her Scepter appeared in midair. Before it could fall, she played another note on her violin with another Fuestle inserted.
DOGGA HAMMER!
Stella caught the Dogga Hammer in her right hand and held her own scepter in her left. As emperor Kiva charged at her, she held up the scepter and rammed the Dogga Hammer into his chest. She shone a light into the air, which blinded him, before ramming her hammer one more time. With him lodged into the fist, she threw him into the air, where she sent a series of more music notes at him.
"Fairy Wind!" Roxy called out, sending several magic blasts at the Dark Fairy.
The Dark Fairy flew back, nearly avoiding the first blast before getting hit with the rest. As she fell back, Woz slashed at her with his blades before grabbing her and tossing her at Bloom, who slashed her midair.
Stella locked with Emperor Kiva again, but she added more rosin to the blade. Breaking off, she played a long series of calm notes that caused the symbol of Kiva to glow behind her. After playing them, she let loose a series of quick notes before the symbol was launched at him, disarming him of his sword and sending him back.
"It can't be!" Emperor Kiva exclaimed. "Me… fall to a fake Kiva like you?!"
"You lack the passion, the heart, needed to have that title," Stella said as she slid the guard down slowly, giving it a red blade. "You will never become Kiva!" she announced. "Kiva King Strike!" she called out, sending forth several sonic slashes that caused bits of the armor on Emperor Kiva to break off.
"Way to go, Stella!" Bloom called out. She turned back to the Dark Fairy while walking towards Woz. "Let's finish this."
"Yes." Woz agreed before activating the Neo Kiva Miridewatch.
BEYOND THE TIME!
"Raidarix Finish!" Bloom called out, her Ryuki symbol starting to glow.
The Dark Fairy growled as she looked up. The Ryuki symbol trapped her in place before Woz flew forward, with Masao and Roxy as well.
DOGABAKI EMPEROR STRIKE!
NEO KIVA WAKE UP!
"Neo Believix Fairy Finish!" Roxy called out.
Bloom leapt up as well with everyone and spun around. She, Woz, Roxy and Masao all landed kicks, sending the Dark Fairy into the air. However, she regained herself and flew.
"You've won this round… but you're not even at the core of my grand plan!" the Dark Fairy called out before teleporting away.
"Grand… plan?" Bloom asked.
Stella walked towards Emperor Kiva and took out another Fuestle. Twisting it, she placed it into Winx Kivat's mouth.
WAKE UP RAIDARIX!
Stella placed both of her feet together and circled around her arms, her Zanvat Bow now touching the Fairy Wing, allowing it to play. As it was, the Hell's Gate on her leg opened, showing wings on both of her boots. She flew up until it looked as if she were in the center of the moon, where her symbol flashed down towards Emperor Kiva. She soon spun around and flew down, landing her version of the Darkness Moon Break, only with her wings piercing into Emperor Kiva as well. As soon as the Finisher was performed, the symbol of Kiva crashed into the ground.
Stella flew off and started to levitate back onto the ground, playing a few more notes. Riffing the last few like a guitar, she landed and concluded her song with the same notes as Wataru and Otoya's songs, just as Emperor Kiva shattered and soon exploded.
(End Song)
Everyone cheered as they ran to Stella, Bloom being the first to reach her, with Wataru being the second.
"Welcome, new Raidarix Fairy." Bloom said, holding out her hand.
"Raidarix forever!" Stella cheered before she and Stella clasped hands.
"You certainly are worthy to have my Raidarix power," Wataru said as all of the Riders canceled out of their transformations. "I hope you use them well."
"Thank you," Stella said as all of the Winx reverted back to their original forms. "I will."
Suddenly, Stella felt her jacket glow. Everyone looked to her to see the symbol of Kamen Rider Kiva appear, like how Bloom had the symbol of Kamen Rider Ryuki.
"Welcome to the team." Bloom applauded.
"And Masao…" Wataru said as he walked to his future son. "You've done well to become Kiva yourself. I am proud of you."
"Thank you, Papa," Masao said. "And now… the Neo Fangire are gone. Their leadership is still to be taken care of in 2039."
"I'm sure you can handle them," Wataru said. "The Kurenai Family never gives up…" he said as he looked to the distance, seeing the spirit of Otoya and even his former love, Mio Suzuki. "We move forward, no matter what." He said as the two smiled and faded away.
"Two Raidarix powers down," Musa said. "I hope we get ours soon."
"You will," Woz said as he walked over. "All things come to those who are patient."
"But I think we've had enough adventures with the Kamen Riders for now," Bloom said as she looked to her phone to check her calendar. "We've got some classes to attend tomorrow."
"We have to go so soon?" Aisha asked. "Come on, we're having so much fun with this."
"Same could be said when we first got our Cosmix Powers," Tecna said. "Anyways, we still have the rest of the day to go. How shall we end it?"
"Well, I need to prepare," Sakura said. "I am going to be meeting Headmistress Faragonda tomorrow, after all."
"Well…" Stella said, looking to her music sheets as Winx Kivat flew next to her. "I think I know a way we can spend it."
"That's what I like to hear." Shizuka said with a smile.
"Don't you always?" Wataru teased playfully.
"Do I sense something more profound than friendship between the two of you?" Stella asked slyly.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you," Wataru said as he and Shizuka held up their hands, revealing rings. "We're married."
Immediately, everyone, including Wataru's friends, save for Masao, swore their mouths fell off their hinges at the mention of this revelation.
"EH?!"
"WHAT?!"
"Oh, we never told you?" Shizuka asked.
"That's… embarrassing." Wataru said awkwardly.
"How… when… huh?!" Taiga stuttered.
"Well…" Wataru started to explain. "It all started on a Friday like any other…"
Two hours later, a crowd had gathered, with Wataru, Masao, Nago, Taiga, Shizuka and Megumi at the front with the Specialists and Woz. Sakura was there as well, only in a reflective window.
"What do you think they're gonna do?" Megumi asked.
"Something amazing, I bet," Brandon replied. "I know Stella, and she vouched to voice for the song they're gonna do."
"By the way…" Nago said as he handed something to Brandon. They were two weapons. "These are the old and new Fangire Slayers, weapons used by the Blue Sky Organization."
"Seems a bit contradictory to what you're trying to accomplish." Brandon noted.
"We plan to change their name," Nago said, albeit in an embarrassed tone. "I think it's best that someone of your caliber were to use them."
"Thanks," Brandon replied. "I'll put them to good use."
"I hope I didn't miss much." Kengo said as he walked to a seat next to Wataru. "I couldn't miss this."
"Kengo!" Wataru exclaimed happily.
"What say we grab a drink after this?" Kengo asked. "We have a lot catch up on, I'm sure."
"I would love that." Wataru said with a smile.
"They're starting!" Riven whispered as the lights started to dim.
Before the lights dimmed, Woz noticed his book glow. He quickly opened it to see Rider's symbol glow. However, before he could get a look, the Winx appeared, and he closed it immediately.
"Hello, Japan! We are the Winx!" Stella announced as she and the Winx, even Roxy, appeared in their band uniforms. "This will be our first gig here, so I hope you like our concert! This song was written by the great yet underrated Kengo Eritate. And personally… it is one of my favorites." She said before taking out her violin.
(Play Circle of Life by Crimson Fang)
Stella played a few notes, each one as calm as the other. She continued to play, letting her heart become her music. Soon, she finished the notes, and the song soon began.
Itsu datte bonyari chippoke da toka sonzai

"How are they singing in Japanese?!" Brandon asked over the cheering crowd to Woz.
"It is the language filter I gave them," Woz said. "I explained it to you all before, so now, they can take their songs to a new level."
"Well I'm loving it!" Nex exclaimed.
"Me too!" Helia called out.

As Stella played the last notes on her violin, everyone cheered.
(End Song)
The next day, everyone was watching as Stella and Wataru were performing a violin duet. When the song finished, they all clapped.
"Continue to play from the heart," Wataru advised. "And never stop putting that same passion into what and who you love."
Stella blushed as the thought of Brandon entered her mind. "Don't worry," she said. "I won't."
"Well, we'd better get going," Bloom said as Sky and Timmy flew the ship down. "We can't be late."
"I hope we see you soon!" Stella called as they all started to board.
Wataru and his friends waved to the Winx Club, the Specialists and Woz before taking off into the air.
"You certainly have become stronger," Maya said, surprising everyone as she walked up. "I am proud of you, my Sons."
"Kaa-San!" Wataru exclaimed happily.
"I no longer have a reason to hide," Maya said. "Now… I can live and see my sons grow stronger and wiser."
"There is a lot for us to catch up on." Taiga said.
"I can't wait." Maya said with a smile.
"Don't be too surprised when I tell you, though," Wataru said as he and Shizuka held hands. "But right now, as I told the Winx… I'm married."
"My son!" Maya cheered happily, getting everyone to laugh.
"Yeah, that was everyone's reaction too."
On the Specialists' ship, Stella was playing the violin again, with Winx Kivat flying beside her. Nearby, Bloom was comforting Sakura.
"Trust me, they'll love you," Bloom said. "Don't be so nervous."
"Oh, it's not them I'm worried about," Sakura said, wincing a little. "It's when I have to meet both your parents that I'm scared of."
"I'm sure it'll be fine." Bloom said.
As this was happening, Musa looked to Woz as he saw the Rider Symbols again.
"Good thing we'll be taking a break soon," Musa said, unaware that her jacket and a certain Rider symbol between Kabuto and Kiva was glowing. "I can't wait for some normalcy."
"If only…" Woz said as the ship approached Alfea.
From a distance, a whistle was heard. From a portal, a bullet train appeared, and a flying orb flew to Musa. She gasped as she sat down, her eyes turning red for a moment, before sighing and letting herself rest.
To Be Continued…
The Winx reacclimatize to their life at Alfea, and reunite with one of their old friends. However, something strange happens to Musa, who starts acting like a different person, becoming more aggressive, while strange things happen to witches from Cloud Tower from the first days of the Winx. The only thing that can help them is a train, a man named Ryoutaro Nogami and a young girl named Destiny.
