Hello my fellow readers, writers, and people who have been enjoying this story so far, I'm back with yet another new chapter. In this chapter we're going to be going over the events of the episode of Winx club titled grounded. Again as usual there's sure to be some changes but not that many at this point.

Anyway without further ado let's get this show on the road.

"Talking"

"thought"

"Yelling"

(author's input, location change, time change)

Ben's P.O.V.

The group which included myself, Bloom, Stella, Flora, Techna, and Musa were standing in Griselda's office with me closer to the door then the others. Flora said "Miss. Griselda we were just wondering when we might get our powers back" and she said "your little field trip to cloud tower was unacceptable not to mention dangerous.

You're lucky you weren't turned into jumping beans and sold to the interrealm circus you won't be getting your powers back anytime soon. But that's only the beginning of your punishment" and Flora said "what's the rest of it" and Griselda said "you may not leave campus for the next two days." Stella exclaimed "we have to veg out all weekend" and then changed to her more normal tone "not exactly a punishment Miss. G."

Griselda simply clapped her hands together and a small purple energy left her hand and went over to a corner of the office. You will not be Veg-ing out you will be cleaning this school from the basement to belfry with these cleaning implements. She then grabbed one and handed it to Stella and said "here you go Miss. Stella your new best friend" and Techna opened up a PDA looking thing and said "what a curious looking remittent of primitive technology perhaps there's a manual in my" but was cut off and Griselda closed the flipped up part of her PDA.

She said "you won't be needing a manual Miss. Techna" and she said "oh my no manual" and Musa said "don't worry Techna it's not that complicated" and Flora said "yeah the only manual we'll be using is manual labor." She said "Exactly if we had a manual for the labor, we'd be more efficient at" but was cut off as the others started giggling."

I said "basically we're going to be working our muscles instead of our minds" and Techna said "what's so funny I was completely serious" and before I could say anything else Griselda said "that's enough leave no paperweight undusted now get to work" and went to sit back down at her desk. We started with the lecture halls and after cleaning about 20 of them Bloom said "only 10 more lecture halls to go."

Musa in her own way said "how about a little H to the E to the L to the P Stella" and Bloom said "totally this is kind of your fault." Stella said "how is this my fault" and Musa said "if you hadn't opened your yap trap" and Stella said "and you both laughed didn't you." Musa said "come on Stell just grab a scrub brush" and Stella replied "blisters are my enemy" and Musa said "wear gloves."

Stella said "uh gloves with a tank top" and Bloom in a somewhat sarcastic sounding voice said "oh that's a good point I hadn't even thought about that." Stella said "thank you Bloom" and after pouring soap into the bucket Bloom picked it up and got a mischievous look in her eyes." Stella said "look getting dirty is simply not in my make up" and Musa said "you're not the only princess here Stella."

She said "maybe but on Steloria royalty and suds don't" but she got cut off when she was splashed by the water in the bucket that Bloom was holding. Bloom said " what were you saying Stella" and Musa started laughing at the sheer look of shock on Stella's face. Bloom then turned to Musa and said "oh I've got some for you too Musa" and she then splashed her as well."

After a few minutes Flora and Techna came in and Techna said "What happened in here" and Flora said "are you okay." Stella said "Bloom taught us a earth sport called water fight and I won" and I then said "actually since I stayed completely dry I'd say that I won" and Stella said "how did you avoid getting hit with the water."

I said "once I saw Bloom planning something I ducked for cover under one of the desks in here" and Flora said "it's not funny" and Techna said "what if Griselda see's this." Then Griselda appeared in another of the doorways and said "indeed what if" and Musa said "uh oh busted." Griselda said "I wanted to let you know that charmed life is playing magical stadium tomorrow night and all of Alfea will be there do you know this group."

Stella said "oh yeah I've got all their CD's" and Griselda said "good thing because since you have to much cleaning to do you won't be attending the show perhaps one of your classmates will pick you up a T-shirt."

(the next day)

Most of the school were getting on buses headed for this concert that was happening tonight and the girls were looking out the window each with varying looks of disappointment on their faces. Bloom said "well it's just us" and Musa said "that bands funk but anything's better than cleaning duty" and Stella said "I know let's just call the boys."

Flora said "yeah I bet they'd just flip at the prospect of helping us clean" and Bloom who seemed to be on board with the idea said "we'll just say we need some heroics and bravery." Techna said "wouldn't Griselda be angry" and Bloom said "no remember she just said no magic but she never said we couldn't get some assistance from our favorite heroes."

Stella said "yes and we know they can't say no to damsels in distress" and Musa said "quick cell them before they leave for the show." As the 'heroes' appeared and Stella ran over to one of them the one who was leading them said "so what kind of heroics and bravery are you looking for exactly." Musa was explaining to them what needed to be done and after her quite flashy demonstration was complete the asshole of the group said "we skipped a concert for this."

Bloom said "oh come on it's be fun now come on and take your weapons boys" and threw them each a broom which they all caught which I was personally surprised the nerdy looking one caught him. The only one to not catch one was the jerk Rithen and to be honest I couldn't really blame him since he was kind of tricked here."

As the others were having fun with it I walked over to Rithen and said "while I may not like your attitude very much I'm sorry you got scammed into coming here. To be honest I even tried to talk them out of the idea but once they have their minds set on something it's impossible to change their minds." He said "it's not like you're the one that called us here I'm not very pleased with the princess of Steloria right now but I guess I'll grin and bear it for now."

Surprisingly they were pretty efficient at the cleaning even though it looked like a really bad imitation of high school musical. After about an hour the cleaning was done and the girls changed into more dance looking clothes and after they let us back in I just sat down in one of the chairs and took my jacket off. After about an hour I just happened to look outside while still inside and I saw the three witches were hovering near the balcony.

As Rithen walked toward the balcony they disappeared and I thought that I must have just been seeing things but just to make sure I said in a hushed whisper the command code for the Omnitrix to reboot itself. After the party at least began to wind down the guys were telling a story of how they fought off frost giants.

Bloom said "you guys must have been freaking out" and the one who I think was called Brandon said "you should have seen these things they have biceps the size of oak trees." Flora said "frost giants are normally very gentle" and Brandon said "not these guys" and Stella interrupted him by asking if he wanted some kind of sandwich.

He said "no thanks but I am kind of thirsty" and as soon as he said that she popped back up right next to him with a pitcher and started pouring him another cub of the soda stuff that was in it. At this point there was a quake and after a moment of the girls looking outside a giant piece of wall went through a window. Rithen then whistled which surprisingly enough to me the hover bikes they rode over here flew up and they jumped on them.

The girls then followed where they went on foot and I followed behind him and started attempting to activate the Omnitrix and it said "3 minutes until reboot successful." Flora as we caught up with them said "see anything" and the nerdy guy said "this damage was caused by some kind of creature" and Techna said "yes a very big creature."

Rithen said "really tell us something we didn't know" and Techna seeing that as an actual invitation started spouting out facts. "it's three meters tall and weights about one ton, it's fur is bristly not soft, it walks upright, has horns, in addition to multiple clothlins(probably butchered that), and it gives off a foul musky odor."

Stella giggled and said "she told you" only for another earthquake like appearance happened and the one who I was now convinced wasn't Brandon said "come on guys phantom blades out" and they started heading in the directly and Bloom said "wait we're coming too" and Brandon said "okay" and Rithen said "no you girls just go find a place to hide you'll get in the way."

As they disappeared I said "I'm going to actually have to agree with them this time since you don't have magic" and I started heading toward the hole. Stella stopped me and said "wait didn't Griselda freeze your Omnitrix" and I said "she did but I've rebooted it" and the Omnitrix chose just then to say "reboot completed" and I said "see."

I followed after the others only to see what looked like a minotaur right out of Greek mythology and as I was about to dial in an alien Rithen got thrown right on top of me. As I pushed him off I saw that the girls actually didn't follow us which I was happy and surprised about. As I got the room the nerdy guy must have activated a magic flashlight and I saw that there was a giant hole in the ceiling of the room we were in.

I said "okay I'm guessing it's up on the higher levels now" and I ran out of the room and tried to go the same way the girls did and instead of reaching them immediately a saw a duck sliding backwards in a block of ice. I then instantly knew that I hadn't been seeing thing earlier and that the witches were somewhere so I went in the direction the duck came from.

The witches were of standing in the center of a light that was there for some reason and I said "well if it isn't Elsa and her little friends." They turned and glared at me and said "why are you always confronting us" and I said "well lets see you're always attacking either me or my friends, two you're the bad guys, and three at least this time you're on my home turf."

As they were about to respond the guys came and stopped right by me and I said "you four go on ahead I'll handle these pests and catch up with you" and they said "got it." They ran toward where I assumed the girls went and I said "okay I'll give you a choice who do you want to be defeated by upchuck or Swampfire."

Elsa said "what do you mean by that" and I said "since you didn't answer I'll just pick" and I just activated the Omnitrix and landed on a random head icon and opened up the faceplate revealing the core and I pushed it down. When I was transformed, I saw that I turned into Swampfire and said "okay whose first" and the one who I believed was named Darcy charged up a spell in her hands and used it as a blade and cut one of my arms off.

As she was smirking, I said "why are you smirking" and I used Swampfire's regeneration to reattach my arm and I shot fire at her with it. She got knocked out and then Stormy then destroyed my head with one of her spells which caused my body to fall and she started gloating. I reformed my head and said "nice try but no" and I grabbed some of the seeds from my shoulder and threw them at her feet.

She said "what's that supposed to do" and instead of answering her I used my telepathic control over plants to have them tangle her up." It was then Icy's turn and she shot me with a spell that I assumed was suppose to freeze me in a block of ice but it didn't have any effect. She said "what's going on you should be frozen solid" and I said "normal or magical ice don't work on me.

I've been frozen in suspended animation for a few minutes in this form but I managed to thaw myself out from that which I'm not suppose to be able to move from it so your ice won't do anything." She then charged at me most likely intending to have a round of fisticuffs with me however that didn't work out because as in my first fight with Kevin when we met up 5 years after he was sent to the null void when she went to punch me in the stomach her arm got stuck up to the elbow.

Then again like the fight with Kevin I smacked her head on both sides with my hands flat as blades which caused her to be stunned for a moment and I brought up my foot and kicked her arm out of my stomach and into a wall behind her. She got up and said "you won't stop us this time" and she cast another spell that caused a wall of ice to appear between us.

I said "really this again" and she said "it's not the same as last time this time it's more of a wall spell that reinforces itself every second that it's around so you're not going to be able to get through it easily." I then started shooting it with fire which caused it to melt slightly but not enough to let me through and I could hear the witches run off."

I eventually decided to stop shooting fire at the wall and just turned into Big Chill to phase through it and then so I could locate the witches I transformed into wildmutt to sniff them out. However while I was trying to pick up their scent Wildmutt's heightened sense of hearing kicked in and I could hear the girls screaming in fear.

Decided to leave the witches for another day since the girls didn't have their powers I ran off in the direction I heard them from. I caught up with what they were running from as it stopped to roar at them and it looked like a blue minotaur. I transformed back and said "okay big, blue, and ugly you're fight is now with me" and it turned to me and roared.

I then said "yeah whatever you say" and transformed into Humungosaur and punched it right in the nose or snout or whatever which caused it to smash into a wall. As it started shaking it's head to gather it's bearings I ran right up to it and punched it in the snout again which I must have hit it's brain since it was knocked out cold.

I transformed back and said "well that was easy" and Stella said "yeah when you have your powers" and I said "yeah I guess that did give me a bit of an unfair advantage against it." As one of them were about to ask me a question the three witches came right up behind us and I then noticed that the fight has brought us to Miss. Feraganda's office.

The witches said "interesting the whisperian crystals are responding rapidly that means the dragon fire is in this room guess we'll just have to trash this place" and I said "yeah not going to happen." Stella who was closest to the wall turned the lights on and Stella said "you're completely surrounded" and Icy said "what are you doing here."

Bloom then shot back the retort "no what are you doing here" and then Feraganda who seemed to be back from the concert said "what are all of you doing here." The guys from the knight school ran into the office at this point and they looked at my handy work with the minotaur and said "since the minotaur was defeated we'll take it to a lockup."

We all went outside with the guys pulling the minotaur along in this magical glass sphere thing with ropes attached to it. The rest of us followed them outside and before leaving they attached the ropse to the magical glass sphere to their hover bikes and took off after having their own interactions with the girls.

Feraganda said "Griselda we must remember to send director saladine(probably butchered that name as well) a glowing letter or gratitude for the help his student heroes gave. It was so good of them to come when the girls told them there was a beast lose on campus" and I was about to correct her when Stella pinched my arm hard as if to say don't even think about correcting her."

She then turned to the three witches who were forced to come out with us and said "as for you three witches to be you took things too far this evening I don't know what's going on between you and my girls but it ends tonight you hear me. I'm transporting you to Mrs. Griffin's office with an official letter of complaint I trust she will discipline you accordingly.

Once she has I'll be sure to send your powers back have a nice trip" and she snapped her fingers and they disappeared in a flash of light. Griselda then said "you 6 are to report to Miss. Feraganda's office first thing in the morning" and we headed off to the dorm for some well earned rest.

(the next morning)

As we got into Miss. Feraganda's office she said "I watched what happened on crystal ball replay and I must say I was most impressed also a little shocked. You're actions were brave and resourceful but in the future you might want to party first and then do the cleaning. At least that's how we did it in my day but I don't think times have changed all that much.

She then looked at me and said "how were you able to transform when Griselda pretty much froze you watch in time." I said "well when I thought I saw the witches floating by the balcony I order the Omnitrix to reboot itself which caused that freezing spell to stop affecting it." She said "while normally I don't approve of doing stuff like that I must say that you did a great service of protecting the girls from the minotaur."

She then turned back to the girls and said "I'm giving back your powers you're punishment is over" and orbs of red floated into the girls and they flashed for a couple brief moments and then stopped which I assumed their magic was working again."

Yet another chapter done in the next chapter we'll be going over the events of the episode of winx club titled the day of the rose. I don't really have anything else to add so until next time this is Diamondholder signing off.
