CHAPTER FiVE - AT LAST
The gang all hid outside the cave.
"Shh! There's Flora!" said Musa.
"Who's that nasty looking man with the drab outfit?" whispered Stella in disgust.
"I dunno, but he has to be the one who took Flora away!" said Bloom.
The whole gang was hiding in the woods trying to figure out how to get in and save Flora.
"I say we just barge in and beat the guy up!" said Riven.
Silence. Except for a cricket chirping, that is.
"What?" Riven asked "It sounds like a good idea," he pouted.
"Well, then," said Layla "I think we should just go in straight. Maybe the man is er, good?"
"Ch'yeah, right," said Musa. "What's your idea Tec?"
"Well, according to my Digi Map there's another entrance in the other side of the cave!" she said with uplifted spirits.
"How 'bout that," said Brandon "Let's go!"
Everyone followed Tecna, who was leading the way. All except for Helia.
"It's going to take too long if we walk all the way to the other side of the cave," he thought. "I'll stay low. They won't notice that I'm gone.. then I'll enter right here."
o0o0o0o0o
"Tell me! What do you want?" Flora yelled.
"I don't want anything from you. I need something from your school. Alfea," the man ((uhh, I'm not giving him a name as of here. Not very good with that at the moment. Hehe.)) said with a sly grin. "You see, no unmagical being can enter the barrier, right? And me? I'm just a mere mortal in this magical world."
"So .. are you like .. a specialist?" Flora asked.
"A long time ago, I was. But that was a pointless way of life. Fighting .. and getting nowhere. So now, I want magic."
"What? You can't just GET magic," she said.
"Ah, I know you can't just simply get magic. Not for long, at least. To do that, you're gonna need .. this." and the man pulled out half of a large gem. Not to mention dull.
"So? It's an old broken gem," Flora commented.
"Well, this 'old gem' will be the reason that I am the new top ruler of Alfea .. and even the whole world of Magix."
"Why would you want to rule Alfea?"
"Why else? I want to train those faries and beat Red Fountain. A long time ago Saladine taught me. He was the one who kicked me out, " he growled."So I need you to get the other half of this gem! It is being protected in Alfea!"
"No way! I'm not getting you anything!" Flora spat.
"Ah, I had a feeling this is the way you'd react. I'll just tell your little friends to get it for me."
"What? My friends aren't here," she said.
"They will be sooner or later .. that little pixie that was with you must've told them what happened to you by now."
"Chatta," Flora whispered, remembering how she would just say anything to anyone.
Then all of a sudden, a young man with long, flowing hair came into the cave with a large sword.
"Helia?" said Flora in surprise.
"Flora!" he looked down at her. She was tied up and on the ground. "Don't worry, I'll--"
"Hello there." The man came out from the darkness of the cave.
"Wh-who are you? Why did you kidnap Flora?"
"Hm. Who's this? A boyfriend?" The dark man thought to himsef. "Well then.. perfect. He'll do anything to get Flora back."
o0o0o0o0o
The group was already in the cave. But they weren't moving. They hid behind huge boulders, still oblivious of the fact that Helia had already jumped into action.
"Hello? Why are we just standing here?" Stella said.
"Okay. Here's the plan," Sky said. "That guy doesn't expect us to just jump out from the back of the cave .. so me and the rest of the guys will attack him with our weapons. He'll get caught off-guard so when we're fighting him, you girls will jump in and save Flora."
"But how?" Layla asked.
"Uh. I dunno. Fly off with her or something," Sky answered.
"Pfft. Some plan," Layla mumbled.
"Okay, on my signal. 1.. 2.. what the?"
"Uhm. Does that qualify as the signal?" Stella asked.
"No! Look! I see Helia out there!" Sky informed.
"What? No wonder I felt like something, someone rather, was missing!" Tecna commented.
"So does this interfere with the plan?" Timmy asked.
"No way. We've got no time. Let's go!" Brandon said.
At that second the boys rushed out of the darkness and helped Helia out. The boys all started charging towards the man but then all of a sudden that evil man pushed Flora in front of him.
"Flora!" Timmy said.
"You've got some nerve using her as a sheild!" Riven said.
"Is there anyone else here?" the man growled. The girls were in the back.
"If anyone else is here, come out now!" he yelled.
"Let Flora go!" Bloom yelled as she and the other girls stepped out.
The man smirked. "You all would do anything just to get this here girl back, huh?" he said. "Then I've got just the thing for you all to do.. MWAHAHAHAHA!" ((Haha sike. He didn't do an evil, corny laugh.))
o0o0o0o0o
"I can't believe we're actually going to do this!" Stella said.
"We're going to have to do this. He said he'd KILL Flora!" Bloom said.
The whole group arrived at Alfea once again. But they were going to have to take the gem's half without being seen.
Brandon and Sky were outside the school while the girls went in themselves. They were more sneeky. Timmy, Riven, and Helia stayed at the cave to make sure that evil demented dark dude didn't hurt Flora.
"Let's check Ms. F's room!" Tecna suggested.
"Good idea!" Musa said.
"But isn't that a little obvious?" Stella said.
"Then where do you suggest we go?" Layla asked.
"Uhmm .. The cafeteria?" Stella said.
"Looks like you just wanna eat!" Bloom said. "Ohh well, we'll cover more ground if we split up. Me, Layla and Stella will go to the cafeteria and Tecna, you go with Musa to Faragonda's office. Hurry!"
With that, the girls all split up in search for the half gem that could save Flora's life ...
LOCATiON: MS. F'S OFFiCE
"Did you find it Tec?" Musa asked as she looked under a desk. Good thing Ms. Faragonda had gone out of the realm for the rest of the day.
"Nope .. we better hurry. We don't have much time!" Tecna pointed out as she searched on the shelves.
LOCATiON: CAFETERiA
"OOH! The cafeteria's so awesome when it's empty!" Stella shouted as she twirled.
"Stella! We're looking for a rock here!" Layla hissed.
"Okay Okay .. hey look! The snack machine has those cookies I like restocked!" Stella shouted as she ran towards the vending machine. But as she ran, she tripped. "Ouch! Stupid cheap school floors!"
"Stella! Are you okay?" Bloom asked.
"Yeahh.. I just tripped over this loose .. tile?" Stella wiggled the tile around and took it off and found a box with a chain around it. "Hey .. I found a box. But there's some sort of magic lock on it!"
"It could be the gem!" Layla said. "I mean, The cafeteria IS the last place you'd look for a gem."
"You're right, let's get this thing to the other two.. maybe we all can open it together!" Bloom said. And the three went to get the others.
o0o0o0o0o
"Okay.. Let's try this.. everyone make a key with their powers." Tecna suggested. She was going to try something she learned in her special honors magic class last week. With that, everyone concentrated on making a key. Bloom made a flame key.. Stella a bright key that glowed like the sun .. and so on and so forth. "Okay now I'm going to fuse the keys together to make an Elemental Key to open this lock.. which seems to be an Elemental Lock."
Tec used the spell she learned from class to fuse the keys together, concentrating very hard so to not make a mistake. "Aha! I got it!" she said as she held up a beautiful looking key as everyone "ooh'd" and "ahh'd". She put the key in the lock and turned it, causing it to make a 'click' noise. Indeed, this was the gem that the man had, dull old and all.
"I dunno .." Bloom said "I'm not sure if we should be giving this guy this gem .. maybe we can save Flora another way .."
Silence.
"I've got it!" said Musa "What about a duplication spell?"
"Great!" said Layla "Okay, who knows a really powerful one?"
"I'll try!" said Stella. Everyone looked at her like she was crazy. "What? I can do it! I've duplicated lots of things! Mainly nail polish, you can never have enough of the same color!" Everyone sighed.
"Go ahead .."said Bloom hesitantly. Stella concentrated and put her hands over the gem on the floor. She chanted some words as the gem faded and turned into two.
"Ta da!" Stella said happily.
"Wow, it looks just like the real one!" said Layla
"I can't believe you actually did it!" Musa said in disbelief.
"Okay, now let's take this fake one to Flora, we're going to run out of time!" Bloom pointed out.
But just as the girls turned around to leave they saw a person standing there whom they least suspected. Ms. Faragonda. Looks like she came back early.. unfortunately, in this matter.
o0o0o0o0o
"Flora.. you're going to be okay.. I promise you," Helia whispered to her. She had a worried look on her face. She was starting to doubt.
"We're here!" yelled Bloom "Now give us Flora back and you can have this stupid gem." It looks like the girls found a way to hide the whole gem duplication thing from Ms. Faragonda .. or did they.. ?
"No way .. I want the gem first!" he yelled. Bloom held the gem up high.
"Give us Flora now or I drop this thing. I found out that it's very fragile you know.."
"Fine, fine. Here! Take this worthless girl!" he shoved Flora at Helia. He caught her but both fell down with Flora on top of Helia. She blushed.
"Are you okay, Flora?" Helia asked. She nodded. Bloom threw the man the "gem".
"Fools! Do you know what you've all just done?" the evil man yelled. "I am now about to become ruler of all Magix and all I needed to do was to spare a simple girl!" He laughed evilly.
All stayed in their spots. No one moved.
The man drew a circle on the dirt with a stick. But this circle had all sorts of symbols and signs that weren't their language. He put the two halves of the gem in the center and put his hands together, kneeled down, and started chanting strange words.
After he completed the chant, all was quiet.
"Why.." he said. "Why.. isn't it working!" he screamed as he stood up. Of course, the spell wouldn't work unless you had the ORIGINAL gems.
"Ms. Faragonda, now!" Bloom yelled to the forest behind her. Out of it came Ms. Faragonda along with many heroes and teachers from Red Fountain.
"Wh-who are.. !?"The man was puzzled. "Who are these people?" he yelled.
Faragonda cast a spell on him and with a wave of her hands, he fell to the ground with a rope of light around him, unconcious. A spell way too powerful for the girls to attempt.
The men from Red Fountain took him away.
Flora looked confused "Wh-what? Why didn't the spell work .. How did Ms--"
"Don't worry about it," Layla came in. "The gem we brought was a fake," she smiled. "We uhmm, sorta bumped into Ms. F while looking for the gem. And she had an idea about what we were all up to. She totally saved us with her plan. We had no idea how to deal with that crazy man!"
"Hey Flora!" yelled a familiar voice. It was Helia. "Are y-you okay?" he stuttered.
"Uhmm, yeah. Thanks," she replied, blushing.
"Listen Flora, I wanna tell you something." he also had a tint of red on his cheek. "I uhm, really l-like you and would like to g-go out sometime," he continued.
Flora just stood there unable to speak. She was so happy! But Helia got the wrong idea.
"Ohh, well, if you don't feel like it then uhh, sorry to have bother--"
"Oh, actually, I would love to," she shyly replied. "I really do like you Helia," she smiled and took his hand as she blushed.
Flora was now done with complaining about not having that special someone. She was now done with finding excuses to hang out with the boys. She was now done with waiting for him. Why? Because he came into her life. At last..
The two held hands out of the cave... As a matter of fact, they didn't let go til they got to Alfea.
And THIS.. is the start of a wonderful relationship.
WAiTiNG FOR YOU
