~~~~Previously~~~~

The Scoutix arrived in the Resort Realm for some much needed relaxation. Carmen suggested going to the hot springs in Aquatica, making Rachel feel a little uneasy. Back at Red Fountain, Rave and Daniel started training. During their training, Daniel lost control and almost killed Rave. Thanks to Riven, the Winx found out that Daniel has been poisoned by Volcana's magic that somehow mixed with Asher's shadow energy. After some time, the Scoutix arrive in Aquatica and run into some trouble. On their way to the hot springs, they were attacked by Alexis and Connor. Afterwards, the Scoutix are attacked by the Minera at the hot springs.~~~~

Aquatica

"Enchantix!"

"Charmix!"

"Let's show these things what we're made of." Felicity said.

"Light Blade!"

"Aura Beam!"

Two of the Minera hissed, knocking Rosella and Catarina into the rock wall.

"Magma Spike!"

"Harvest Beam!"

Two more Minera dodged the attack, pouncing on Carmen and Abigail.

"Nothing seems to hurt these things." Felicity said. "Shining Aura!"

"Crystal Bolt!"

One of the Minera cried out in pain and spit a glob of green goo at Felicity.

Felicity winced and fell to her knees. "What is this stuff?"

"Felicity?!" Lyon called out, running over to her. He winced as the goo trapped him as well.

"Isn't this great?" Alexis asked, smirking a little.

"This is getting out of hand." Connor said. "They're going to die at this rate."

"Who cares?" Alexis asked. "Everything will be better when Rachel is gone. And her friends can join her." She laughed a little before the rock she was standing on broke, sending her into the water. Climbing out, she coughed and winced a little.

"Are you alright Alexis?" Connor asked.

"I twisted my ankle." Alexis said. A look of sheer terror came over her face as one of the Minera headed towards her.

"Alexis?!" Connor called out.

"We have to do something." Alex said. "Frost Arrow!"

The Minera paid no attention to the arrow as it drew closer to Alexis.

Zane dodged a swipe from another Minera and readied his whip. "These things are too strong." Before he could do anything, he was knocked against the rock wall. He winced a little as he fell unconscious.

'What should I do?' Rachel thought. 'The girls can't use their magic and the guys aren't strong enough to fight the Minera. On top of that, Alexis needs help. That's it. I know what I have to do.' Without hesitation, she flew towards Alexis and blocked an attack from the Minera. She cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

"Rachel." Alexis said. "You saved me. Even after what I did."

Rachel winced and smiled at Alexis. "Of course. We were friends once. Besides, I couldn't let you get hurt. Even if it meant risking my life."

At that moment, Rachel was surrounded in a bright light. When the light faded, her hair had grown to her knees and formed a small bun. Her outfit consisted of a halter dress with a purple top and a skirt made up of three different ruffled layers. The top and bottom layer was a bluish purple and the middle layer was blue. On her feet, she wore blue and purple barefoot sandals. Purple finger-less gloves extended up her arm and a blue headpiece with a purple jewel was in her hair. Around her neck was a fairy dust bottle. Her wings were large, covered in fairy dust, and had purple diamonds hanging off them.. The outer layer was colored blue and the inner layer was purple.

"What happened to you Rachel?" Alexis asked.

"Enchantix." Rachel said. "I'm an Enchantix fairy. Alright. Time to send these things back where they came from. Diamond Dust!" At that moment, a wave of diamonds struck the Minera and caused them to fade away.

Felicity stood up and cleaned herself off. "That was disgusting."

"Rachel." Alexis said. "I'm sorry."

Connor joined Alexis and nodded. "I'm sorry too. We shouldn't have jumped to conclusions and called you a murderer."

Rachel smiled and nodded. "It's fine. At on point, I believed the same thing. I just wish everyone else could see it that way." She then flew over to Zane and held him in her arms.

"Is he alright?" Alexis asked.

Rachel nodded, moving hair out of Zane's face. "He's just unconscious. There's no serious injuries, but he will have a bad headache for a while. This never would have happened if you wouldn't have set the Minera loose."

Alexis scratched the back of her head and chuckled a little. "My bad. I never should have done that."

"You're right." Rachel said. "You shouldn't have done it, but it doesn't change the fact that you did. Everything got out of hand and you put your life in danger. You also helped me become an Enchantix fairy. It still doesn't excuse what you did."

A sly grin came over Carmen's face as she stared at the water. Without a second thought, she ran towards the water and did a cannonball. "This is amazing!"

Rachel frowned a little when the water splashed her. "I'm going to get you for that Carmen."

Zane winced and slowly opened his eyes. "Ow. What hit me? Where are the Minera?"

Rachel smiled and laughed a little. "Don't worry Zane. The Minera are gone."

"You got your Enchantix." Zane said smiling. "I'm happy for you."

Rachel nodded as her transformation faded. "Yeah. And I've got two old friends back. Now let's enjoy these hot springs." She smiled as her clothes changed to a bikini. "I love magic. Alexis. Connor. Would you like to join us?"

Alexis and Connor nodded, diving into the water.

Zane smiled as he watched Rachel dive into the water. 'I'm lucky to have Rachel in my life.'

Somewhere in Magix

"I can't believe that little gem fairy got her Enchantix." Volcana said, growling a little. "The Minera were supposed to finish those goody goods off. On the bright side, little Daniel is out of the picture. Perhaps I should pay him a little visit. I must make sure he doesn't get cured. And I think I know just what to do. I'll send him somewhere his little friends will never find him. A place that he can't escape from. I'm sure they'll love him."

Magix City

Daniel cried out in pain as he started to sweat a little. 'I can't wake up. There has to be something I can do.'

"It's alright Daniel." Mythia said. "I'm right here. Soothing Light!"

Daniel winced and fell silent. 'My friends need me by their side.'

"It's getting worse." Pheres said, standing in the doorway. "We may be too late to save him."

Mythia looked down and shook her head. "You're wrong. Daniel is a fighter. He is our son after all. At the same time, I'm worried that he'll stay like this. Trapped inside a coma."

Asher looked down and walked outside. 'You can pull through this Daniel. I know you can.'

"You shouldn't be alone little boy." Volcana said, appearing in front of Asher. "And don't expect my brother to save you this time." She smirked, hitting him with an orb of energy that sent him flying through the house.

Asher cried out in pain from the attack, falling to the floor. 'I have to do something.'

Volcana smiled and walked towards Asher. "I'm stronger than I was before. After I kill you, my brother will disappear." She laughed rock spikes pierced Asher's hands, shoulders, and legs. "You can't get away from me. Time to die."

"Ocean's Light!"

Volcana laughed, turning her attention to Mythia. "That won't work on me. My power is beyond yours fairy."

"Stay away from my son." Mythia said, glaring at Volcana.

Volcana smirked and moved closer to Mythia. "Shadow boy isn't the one I'm after. No. I'm more interested in fairy boy."

"I won't let you touch him." Mythia said. "Ocean's Ray!"

Volcana sighed a little and shook her head. "You just don't get it. Your magic doesn't work on me." She chuckled as rock engulfed Mythia. "Enjoy your prison fairy."

"Mythia! Asher!" Pheres called out, running over to them.

"That just leaves you." Volcana said. "The only one standing between me and Danny boy."

Pheres turned his attention to Volcana, glaring at her. "I won't let you get away with this. Neptune's Flame!" He kept his gaze on Volcana as he sword ignited in blue fire. "Let's see how you handle this." Without hesitation, he slashed at her shoulder.

Volcana moved out of the way of the attack and smirked. "Pathetic. You can't even save your precious family." She laughed as rock vines bond Pheres to the wall. "I can't have you getting in my way. Your too weak to protect anyone. Don't worry, I'll take good care of Danny."

"That's not going to happen." Pheres said, struggling to break free.

Volcana smiled as some more rock vines shattered Pheres's knees. "Even if you manage to break free, you won't be able to get to him."

Pheres cried out in pain as his head dropped. 'Has being in Limbo weakened us? Or is she really this powerful? She's still just a spirit, which makes our attacks useless.'

"Dad?!" Asher called out, trying to focus his attention on Volcana. "What do you want?"

Volcana snapped her fingers, causing Asher to float over to her. "It's simple. I'm taking that pesky brother of yours. No one will be able to find Danny once I'm finished with him." She laughed as her body became solid. "And thanks to you, my physical body is back." She then rubbed his face and smiled. "Saher won't be able to help you ever again."

"You will never win." Asher said.

A tiny ball of energy formed on Volcana's finger, causing her to smile even more. "Nothing can stop me." She smirked as the energy ball was absorbed into Asher.

"What did you do to me?" Asher asked, wincing a little.

"I've sealed Saher away." Volcana said. "Everyone in this wretched dimension will bow to me." She chuckled and kissed him. "Something to remember me by. You will never see Danny again." Without hesitation, she grabbed Daniel and disappeared.

Asher cried out in pain as the rocks disappeared, causing him to hit the floor. 'I can't breathe. What did she do to me?'

"Pheres. Asher." Mythia said as the rock surrounding her disappeared. "What did she do to you?"

Pheres winced, glancing over at Asher. "Don't worry about me Mythia. That witch did something to Asher. I'll be fine."

"Hold on you two." Mythia said, raising her staff in the air. "Soothing Light!"

Pheres winced and stood up. "Thanks."

"She took Daniel." Asher said, returning to normal and standing up. "Volcana is watching us. She's watching all of us. That's how she knew where to find us. We can't stay here."

Red Fountain

"I've got a bad feeling about all of this." Ulrik said, staring out a window.

"What do you think Volcana's planning?" Helia asked.

"She wants to restore her kingdom." Asher said, walking in with Mythia and Pheres.

"What happened?" Ulrik asked.

"Nothing much." Pheres said. "We just had a visit from the witch herself."

"Where's Daniel?" Helia asked.

Mythia gripped her arm and looked down. "That witch has him."

"And she's no longer a spirit." Asher said. "I thinks she's been feeding off my magic. It was enough to restore her physical body."

"What do we do now?" Draegan asked. "Can Saher help us out?"

"I'm afraid that's out of the question." Asher said. "Volcana sealed him away. I can't even sense him anymore."

Helia stood up and stared out the window. "The Scoutix have been gone long enough. They're needed here more than ever."

"We still have to figure out how to cure Daniel." Flora said.

Asher nodded and sighed a little. "We have to find him first. The problem is that I can't seem to sense him anywhere. When Volcana sealed Saher away, I think she also blocked my ability to sense Daniel."

Deep Blue

Volcana appeared with Daniel and smiled upon seeing the creatures before her. 'They will make sure Daniel's friends don't find him. My magic was able to bring these ladies back.'

"What are you doing here witch?" Limes asked. The dark blue-haired siren kept her gaze on Volcana before glancing at Daniel.

"I brought you a gift." Volcana said.

"Why would we want this boy?" Terala, the red-haired siren asked.

"Meet the fairy of the deep oceans." Volcana said. "I need you to keep him hidden. No one must be allowed to find this boy. Besides, my magic brought you back from your banishment."

"What are you talking about?" Unla, the orange-haired siren asked. "That still doesn't tell us why we should do anything for you."

"Male fairies are rare in the surface world." Volcana said. "And you would have him all to yourself. I only need you to hide him. What you do with him is your business."

Nazca, a siren with sea foam-colored hair swam up behind Volcana and smirked. "What makes you think we will? It's not like he can give us the power we want."

"He's quite handsome." Limes said. "Fine. We'll keep him. This could be interesting. All we have to do is hide him. We can do whatever we please with him."

Volcana smirked and released Daniel. "He's all yours ladies. Keep in mind that if he were to leave this place, you will be banished once more."

"What if someone comes looking for him?" Terala asked.

"I'm sure you can figure out something." Volcana said, disappearing out of sight.

Daniel winced and slowly opened his eyes. "Where am I? Am I underwater?"

"Fairy boy is awake." Unla said, snickering a little.

"Who are you?" Daniel asked.

"Relax." Limes said, swimming over to him. "This is your new home fairy boy. Get used to it. No one is looking for you."

Daniel glared a little and started to swim away. 'I have to get out of here.'

"You're not going anywhere." Terala said, shooting him with poisonous quills.

Daniel cried out in pain as he floated back down to the sirens. "What do you want with me?"

"You'll just have to wait and see." Nazca said, giggling a little.

Limes smirked and rubbed Daniel's face. "You'll come to love living here. You're not going anywhere, so there's no point in trying to escape."

'I have to do something.' Daniel thought. 'There has to be a way to contact the others. I could try transforming, but I might lose control. It looks like I'm stuck here.'

Red Fountain

"That was fun." Carmen said, following the others off the ship.

Rexx chuckled a little and smiled. "It's something we all needed."

"It would have been better if Daniel had went with us." Zane said.

"What took you so long?" Asher asked.

"Asher." Zane said.

"What happened to you?" Catarina asked. "You look like a wreck."

"Volcana happened." Asher said. "While you all were off on your little trip, my family and I were attacked. We couldn't stop her."

"Where's Daniel?" Zane asked.

Asher gripped his arm and looked down. "He's gone. Volcana took him. She sealed Saher away and I lost my ability to sense where Daniel is. And on top of that, he's been poisoned."

"What do you mean?" Zane asked. "When was he poisoned?"

"When he sacrificed himself for me." Asher said. "My magic mixed with Volcana's and infected him. He can't even fight without losing control."

Rave winced a little and walked over to Asher. "Daniel almost killed us. It only happens when he fights. It's almost as if he becomes blood thirsty."

"He took down Aisha with ease." Daphne said, walking up to the group. "This blood thirst makes him pretty powerful."

"Do we have any idea where Volcana took him?" Zane asked.

"No." Asher said. "He could be anywhere. Who knows what's happening to him right now."

"What can we do?" Rosella asked.

"We need to figure out a way to locate him first." Catarina said. "And we also need to figure out to cure him. Without Daniel, we don't stand a chance against Volcana."

"How are we supposed to locate him?" Asher asked. "We can't exactly search every building for him. Besides, there's a chance that he's not even in Magix at all. He could be in another realm."

"There may be another way." Catarina said. "I might be able to use my magic to locate him using his aura. There's just one problem."

"What's that?" Rachel asked.

"If he's in another realm, it will take a lot more energy to find him." Daphne said. "Catarina could end up seriously hurting herself. That amount of strain could kill her if she's not careful."

"Are you sure you want to do this Cat?" Gale asked.

"Yes." Catarina said. "Right now it's our best chance at finding him. I can use my Enchantix energy. All I need is a map of all the realms."

"Do you think he's alright?" Zane asked.

"Daniel can put up a fight." Asher said. "I can only hope that he's alright. He will only get worse the longer the poison flows through his body."
