'Oh God, I'm so bored! We haven't done a single thing since Valtor's death. We have been looking at this so called Magic Mirror from the Three Old Witches for weeks now, but we still haven't seen anything useful yet.'
Stormy was sitting on an old couch with Icy and Darcy in their new home. It wasn't specifically a nice home; it was the cave where the Three Old Witches used to live in, but they were fine with it since they had a roof over their head, which exceeded their expectations. You see, they weren't exactly legal in Magix, because they've committed a couple of crimes with both Darkar and Valtor. But they didn't need these men in their lives. They've done so many terrible things without these abusive men, and they were convinced they could do it again, but better. First, however, they needed to prove themselves by defeating the Winx, who were proved to be the most powerful fairies of the Dimensions after beating Valtor.
'Sisters, I think I see something useful in the Magic Mirror. This could be a great opportunity for us to prove ourselves!' Icy said.
'But what is it then, Icy?' Darcy asked.
'It is that pathetic flower fairy, all alone, crying in the woods. And the Winx, along with their silly boyfriends, are looking for her. However, they are heading the wrong way...'
'Let's go to that flower hippie, and finish her!' Stormy yelled, before laughing wickedly.
Icy replied: 'No. I have got a better idea...'
'She's nowhere in sight..' Timmy said. 'I haven't seen a living creature taller than 3 feet for hours now on the radar, maybe we should land here, and continue our journey walking.'
Brandon saw the worried look on Helia's face. He really hoped they would find her, so Helia would feel better. He and Flora would make a great couple, but the forest is full of danger, and she could be literally everywhere. But Brandon tried to convince himself that they should stay optimistic. They will find her, eventually. He looked at Helia, and gave him a reassuring smile. Helia smiled back, but it didn't seem like he meant it.
After landing in an open field, Bloom asked Techna: 'Which way should we go know?'
'Based on the PH-level of the ground, the Iris flower should be common in the northern area of the forest. I believe we should start there.' Techna said pointing forward.
And so they went their way on a what seemed like a nearly impossible journey to find their good friend Flora.
Flora has been sitting on the same spot for 8 hours now. She was gazing at the rainbow colored iris, and cried. Multiple romantic scenario's of her and Helia were playing in her head: their first date, their first kiss, their first time... However, she knew that these moments would never happen if she would never express her feelings towards him. But what if she told him how she felt, and he wouldn't feel the same way? It would be a total disaster! She knew she had to let the thought of them being together go, but she just couldn't. He was everything she ever dreamt of. He was tall, strong, but also a really good listener and he was sensitive and considerate. His long, dark hair and his blue eyes just melted her heart. She was scared being alone in the woods, but the thought of him embracing her with his broad shoulders and his muscular torso made her feel safe and protected. Though he wasn't with her and she was all alone in the woods. And it wasn't safe at all. Would the girls be worried and come looking for her? Would Helia be worried? And would they come looking for her? All these questions were going through her head. Maybe she should go back to Alfea. But it was late in the afternoon and if she would never make it out of the woods before sundown. So she made a campfire for warmth and to scare the wolfs, which terrorized all the living creatures in the woods surrounding Alfea, away, and she fell asleep fast, thinking of Helia.
'So, what is the plan, Icy?' Darcy asked.
'As you know, Flora is all alone in the woods, and it is getting dark. Her so called friends are looking for her, and it looks like they are about to find her. We must prevent that from happening. That is why we are going to attack the Winx and the Specialists, so they can never save Flora. And after we have gotten rid of her friends, we will finish her.' Icy said, before laughing evilly.
'But what if that Flower Fairy flies away?' Stormy asked. 'She could hear us fight and come help the Winx.'
Darcy replied with: 'She will not, and I have got a plan for if she does...'
'What is it? What is it? Tell us!' Stormy yelled.
'If she does wake up and tries to help her friends, I will hypnotize the wolfs that live in these woods. She will not be able to go anywhere when she's surrounded.'
'That's brilliant Darcy, great plan.' Icy said.
'Lets get going then!' Stormy shouted.
The Winx and the Specialists have been walking for seven hours straight now, and they were getting tired from the long trip. It was already 6 pm and Riven was complaining.
'Guys, let's just go home, we'll never find her like this. I bet she'll show up herself eventually.' Brandon saw Helia getting upset at Riven's words.
'Shut up! You don't know anything about her! She could be in great danger, and all you're saying is just plain bullshit!' Helia stormt towards him and grabbed his throat.
'Helia! Stop!' Musa screamed.
'Calm down guys!' Brandon pulled Helia off Riven and gave them a scolding glare. Riven was grinning at Helia, who was still upset. 'Now let's walk on, we need to find her before midnight, because of the dangerous animals in the forest.'
And so the young group walked on, without sharing another word. After a while, Techna spoke up: 'Guys, I think we're close. The acidity degree of the ground almost matches the one where iris flowers grow. Let's just keep on walking, and we'll eventually find her!'
'Not on my watch.' Icy said.
'Yes, we are back, and we are going to finish what we started.' Darcy said.
'Oh, right, like you guys did before, and before that time. Oh yeah, and before THAT time. I'm so terrified right now.' Stella said sarcastically.
'But this time, you won't make it out alive.' Stormy said.
'We must transform!' Bloom shouted. And so the Winx transformed into their fairy appearance.
'Get your weapons! Now!' Brandon shouted.
It started as a regular fight; the Winx were winning, without any malfunctions. But they didn't know that the Trix had developed new powers. Darcy multiplied her and her sisters, so Icy could attack Stella from behind with an enormous icicle. However, Brandon saw that the Trix were standing behind them, and ran towards Stella to push her on the ground. She hit her head badly, but she wasn't impaled with the icicle. Brandon was. Bloom saw what was happening, and got so mad at the Trix that she used her Dragon Flame.
'Now it's enough!' Bloom yelled, and the Trix were gone.
'Bloom, you need to use your healing powers! I don't think he'll make it if you don't...' Sky said. Bloom saw Stella sobbing next to Brandon, saying: 'It should have been me, Brandon. I'm so sorry. Please don't die because of me. Don't leave me now. I love you...'
'Hey bud, don't die on me right now, okay? You're too young to die.' Sky said.
Bloom ran towards Brandon, and pressed her hand on his heart, where Icy had impaled him. 'I'm trying my best, but it's going so slowly.' All of a sudden there was a bright light. Brandon's wound was closing, however, not fully healed when Bloom fell down out of tiredness. Brandon opened his eyes, and mouthed a few words at Stella:
'S-Stella...a-are you alright?' Brandon whispered weakly.
'I am, Brandon. Thank you for saving me. I love you.'
'I- I love you too.' And then they kissed.
Musa said: 'Guys, it's getting late, and we're all tired. We should build up our camps and then we'll find her first thing in the morning.'
'Yes I agree, but she must be near since the Trix were trying to sabotage us finding her.' Timmy concluded.
'Okay fine, but you should know that I'll wake you up as soon as the sun comes up.' Helia said.
And so they went into their tent, and slept peacefully. Except for Brandon, who had his own tent because he needed medical attention for his wound, and Helia, who couldn't sleep because he missed Flora so much.
