Alfea, Self Defense Class

Bloom was wrapping up the test when Michiru came in. She spotted Ruby with her test flipped over so no one would look off of her test. "I'm impressed, Snowdrop," Michiru replied. "You finished your test with a broken arm and making the other girls avoid the temptation of cheating."

"Thank you, Michiru," replied Ruby. "Sometimes that can be hard. I remember when my twin brothers tried to do that for manners class, but they got caught. As punishment, they had to clean the stables."

"Ruby," Bloom said to her, "could you, Rosie, Vulcana, Joanna, Pamela, and Namira meet me and Faragonda in her office after school?"

"Okay," Ruby answered.

Faragonda's Office

The Sparx came in to talk to Faragonda, who had big news. "It's time for you girls to explore the ruins of the Rozufeureku Army to find the remaining weapons," she explained. "The army kept hidden weapons somewhere in the castle. Only a true Rozufeureku Army warrior would find them."

"I remember where they kept the archery," Michiru replied, "but the other weapons are sealed in a pattern."

"Sealed in a pattern" Rosie surmised. "What does that mean?"

"Who cares?" stated a nonchalant Joanna. "We like totally need to get the weapons to stop the Desceptio Family fast."

"And I'm coming with you," Ruby answered.

"Even with a broken arm?" asked Faragonda.

"You are my friends," Ruby replied. "And wherever you go, I go too."

Faragonda still wasn't sure about Ruby going with a broken arm. So she turned to Bloom. "Please go with Ruby," she said to their defense teacher. "Can't get her even more fractured."

Alfea, outside

Ruby, Rosie, Vulcana, Joanna, Pamela, and Namira were heading out when they saw the Raion'uingu Craft. Inside, they saw some sleepy Red Fountain refugees. Hunter was getting up when he spotted Ruby. "Rube," he asked, "what are you girls doing here?"

"Like, if you know," Rosie replied. "We're heading off for the ruins for old weapons that might be leftover."

"Under Ruby's condition," teased Nabu, "she's got a broken arm."

The other boys teased Ruby for a broken arm, except Royce, Dylan, Jan, and Marcel. "Stop!" shouted Jan, "Ruby is the Akayukis' last hope. I had a dream about it. Ruby the Ronin warned me that her niece wields the power of all the fallen warriors."

"I believe you," Ruby replied. "Besides, why on Earth did you park the Rain'uingu Craft near Alfea?"

"It's DeVivian," Nabu explained. "She's turning our school into a boarding home for devils."

"You girls go on," Michiru explained. "I'll stay here and recruit these maggots on self-defense."

"Not this old coot again," Jan recalled.

"Jan, be nice," Marcel replied.

Headmaster Kouhei walked up to them. "You girls can borrow the Raion'uingu Craft," he said. "You need to get to the ruins somehow."

After they got all their luggage out, the Sparx took off with the Raion'uingu Craft. "Now that they're gone," Headmaster Kouhei declared, "it's time to whip your butts into shape."

Rozufeureku Ruins

They arrived at an old palace that looked like a Japanese temple. They got out in winter apparel, so they won't get frostbite. "This is The Rozufeureku Temple?" asked Joanna. "Old-timey."

"Come on," Pamela replied. "I've been to some ruins on Tiralatte and these look pretty."

Inside the place, they saw numerous old paintings and decor. Vulcana remembered that Michiru said that there are patterns to find the weapons. On the ground of the main floor, she saw that all the snowflakes looked the same, except for one with a sword in the middle. She pressed it down and swords came out. The other Sparx backed up so they won't get hope. "Look at that," Joanna replied. "The swords were hiding beneath."

"That's what Michiru meant by 'sealed in a pattern'," Vulcana replied. "You gotta find the art decor that is different from the others."

"I'll, like, totally place transport them to the craft so they can be safe," replied Rosie.

Tranporty Swordporty

She sent the swords safely to the craft for later.

XxoxX

During their search, they found all the secret weapons held in the ruins and transporting them safely to the craft. Finally, they arrived at the sleeping quarters where they saw that the knick-knacks were all winter-themed, except for one sun snow globe. Ruby pulled it and shields popped out. "That's the last of them," Ruby said. "Now let's get back to Alfea and settle some real estate."

On their way out, the Sparx noticed statues of the Rozufeureku Army. Some of them included:

Mystelle the Mage

Topazia the Dancer

Ruby the Ronin

On their statues, they noticed that the jewels on the bottom were red while some were white. Ruby remembered from her old art classes that white meant death and red meant life. This meant one thing to her. "Some of the warriors are alive," Ruby said as she turned her head towards a young Michiru. "Including Michiru the Archer."

As they were getting out of the temple, a yeti blocked their way. This wasn't just any yeti; this was a Devil-yeti. The Twinnasties popped up. "Mom saw on her crystal ball-" Devi started.

"-That you were going to the ruins," DeVille finished.

"So we thought we would-" Devi started.

"-Run a little errand for her," Deville finished.

The yeti started to attack.

Magic Winx

Rosie, Fairy of Love

Vulcana, Fairy of Flowers

Joanna, Fairy of Wind

Pamela, Fairy of Sweets

Namira, Fairy of Dreams

The Sparx fought off the monster while Ruby and Strawberry tried to get the shields to the craft. But with a broken arm, it would be too complicated. "Poor Sparx pixies. Maybe a little-" started Devi.

"-Death by Freezing would cheer them up," finished DeVille.

The Twinnasties did a little Death By Freezing spell to kill them. The Sparx were starting to freeze to death, Ruby couldn't witness her friends in grave danger. She thought about all the possibilities if she didn't make it. She wouldn't meet her niece/nephew, Daichi and Daiki would-be kings, and the Twinnasties would seize control of all beauty.

Ruby was enraged. Her armcast started to freeze to bits.

Magic Winx

Ruby, Fairy of Snow

Everyone was surprised to see that Ruby has gained full power of the Akayuki.

Freedom Freeze

She freed her friends from their icy deaths and got the Twinnasties to crash into the yeti while the Sparx made their escape. Ruby was so busy rescuing her friends, she forgot about the shields. With a little magic, she quickly got the shields into the craft and they took off.

"That was epic, Ruby," replied Pamela. "You saved our lives."

"And your arm," Namira replied. "It's all healed up."

Ruby looked at her healed arm, realizing that she's cured. "I guess it is."

Alfea

Michiru the Archer was training the Red Fountain boys how to fight the Rozufeureku way, making them tired. "Can we take a break?" complained Dylan.

"No breaks, Proper Boy," snapped Michiru. "Now get back to work."

Kouhei was worried that his students would be worn out from excess training by Michiru.

The Raion'uingu Craft arrived on the outskirts of the school and the Sparx arrived with the weapons. Everyone was glad to see Sparx in one piece, especially Hunter. "Are you okay, Ruby?" he asked.

"I'm fine," Ruby replied. "And my arm is okay again."

Michiru was happy that not only was Ruby cured, but they understood what she meant by "sealed in a pattern."

"It's time we take back Red Fountain," Ruby growled.
