Heey, so here's the second part of 6X04. I'm sorry it's a bit late, you know how school/college can get in the way. I'm glad everyone liked the Will scene, there will be flashbacks in the next few chapters. This chapter is rather uneventful, but the ending will be important to this story. I'm sorry if anyone feels like this story's too long or I'm dragging the chapters, I'm trying to make it readable for everyone by including all the couples and characters.
Shoutouts:
AlexisPeaney: Thanks so much! Your reviews always bring a smile to my face.
LostMirage: Thanks! Good guess, we'll see it in a few chapters.
Rockmantick: Good guess, too. I would've bet my money on Stella too. You don't have to worry much, I am incapable of writing a sad ending. But until we get there, we'll have a lot of drama and things will be hard for Flora and Helia when the truth comes out.
Guest: I'm glad you like Darkness, but sad that you think that this story's off topic. I had originally planned for Flora's secret to be out in the first chapter already, but I thought better. I know it's taking too long, but bare with me.
So that's it. I hope you enjoy!
At Limphea College...
The students of Limphea College found themselves surrounded by Treants and witches. They were easily captured and the Trix laughed in delight. Their plan was working even better than they had thought.
"Cloud Tower witches, Limphea College is now ours." Icy triumphantly said as she smirked at the young witches.
"What have you done to the Treants?" A man asked.
"None of your business, old man. We'll take it from here." Darcy told him off.
"Let go of me!" Miele screamed as she tried to get out of the Treant's grip. It didn't work and that caught the witches attention.
"Pathetic fairies, all they do is moan and groan." Stormy complained as the three sisters watched Miele.
"Exactly. And all these annoying cries will bring the Winx back to us." Icy said and they laughed evilly. Knowing that the Winx were now powerless made them think defeating them would be a piece of cake.
"Okay, so we'd better go back to Cloud Tower and prepare the ambush." Darcy said and the Trix left after letting the witches in charge of Limphea College. Miele seized the fact that they were gone to use her magic seed and she was able to free herself.
"Yes, Miele!" One of her friends screamed as the young fairy began running around the Treants. She knew that she had to get help, so she planned on going to her home in a nearby village. As she ran, she was attacked by Treants and witches, but she managed to escape. When she was close to getting out of the arena, a Treant came out of nowhere and she was knocked down. As she tried to sit up, she realized that she was about to get squished.
"No!" She screamed as she closed her eyes and braced herself for the impact. When it didn't come, she opened them again to discover that the Treant had been immobilized by none other than Flora.
"Flora, you're back!" She happily screamed as she ran towards her older sister and they hugged tightly.
"I've got you, Miele." Flora said as she stroked her hair gently. When they pulled apart, Miele saw the rest of her friends behind her.
"Thank you." The young fairy said and the others nodded. They realized that there were many Treants coming their way, so Tecna and Musa quickly took Flora's potions out of their backpacks. As the nature fairy spread the potions onto the Treants, they quickle stopped attacking.
"It worked just perfectly. Nicely done, Flora." Tecna congratulated her. Then Miele let out a scream.
"Oh, no, there are many more Treants."
"Don't worry, we didn't come empty handed. This should do the trick." Flora said as she opened her backpack to reveal many potions. The Winx ran around the arena putting the potions on most of the Treants. Soon the students and teachers of Limphea College found themselves free. So they used their powers to fight against the witches and get back their school. Thoren and Nex appeared just then and they started using their weapons to send the witches away. Miele sent a spell towards a nearby witch and Flora watched her proudly.
"I'm so proud of you, Miele." The younger girl smiled.
At Cloud Tower...
Bloom and the specialists had just arrived.
"Time for a little surprise visit." The fire fairy said as they neared the school. Just then lighting struck towards them and they barely escaped.
"I guess they were expecting us." Sky said. Suddenly, many flying beasts appeared all of sudden. One of them flew close to Brandon and the specialist lost his grip on the bike and he started falling fast.
"What are those things?" Riven asked as Sky quickly went after Brandon, leaving the specialist's motorbike with Bloom.
"I have no idea." Bloom responded. They realized that the beasts were going in the direction of Limphea College, so the specialists went after them while Bloom kept going to Cloud Tower. She knew that she had a better chance at fighting against the Trix than them. Soon the trio appeared before her and she got ready for a fight.
"Surprise!" Icy greeted her with a smirk. "It's about time we destroyed you, Bloom." Bloom gave her a smirk in return.
"Funny, I've been hearing you say that for years." Icy and Stormy frowned at those words. For a few moments, the three sisters argued over who would have the first shot until they decided to take her at the same time. Bloom quickly builded up her shield as the attack came her way.
Back at Limphea College...
The beasts that had been conjured by Selina got to the school just as the potions Flora had made to control the Treants started wearing off. The six fairies looked around desperately as they realized they were in double trouble.
"What the..." Tecna started saying as she stared at a nearby beast when it looked at her and a bright light illuminated the spot where she had just been. She didn't get hit by the light because Musa pulled her away."Thanks, Musa." The fairy of music gave her a smile in return. Soon a few students at Limphea College passed by them and were hit by the beast's attack. The Winx were terrified to discover that they were turned to stone as soon as the light engulfed them. "Those are petrifying rays!" The technology fairy realized before the beast once again looked at her and she was paralyzed in place. If it wasn't by Riven's quick thinking and using of his weapon, Tecna would be petrified.
"Tecna! Are you alright?" Timmy asked her as he quickly reached her. She was still unmoving, so he started getting worried.
"Thanks, Riven." Musa told her boyfriend, who was descending his bike and walking over to her. She ran to him and jumped into his arms as he hugged her tight, relieved that she was safe.
"Timmy." Tecna finally said as she looked at him as if seeing him for the first time. " I almost was... For only a moment..." She couldn't finish her sentence, so she flung herself in his arms. He wrapped his arms around her as he got even more worried.
"I know, I know. But you're safe now and everything's okay. You're okay." He said as he attempted to calm both of them down.
"I know that, it's just that coming so close to..." She gulped as she couldn't say that word. They had agreed that she would never say that word again. "I just remember the time on the Omega Dimension and..." She didn't have to finish for her understood. He knew that time had been hard on the both of them and although they had spent the past 3 years pretending it had never happened, it had.
"You know, maybe it's time to stop pretending that it never happened. Maybe we should talk more about it." Timmy said and she would have answered him, but a scream caught their attention. It was Stella, running from one of the beasts as she tripped on it's tail. It's eyes were looking at her and she was seconds away from being petrified. They knew that they would never make it on time to save her, so they watched helplessly and prayed that someone would save her. That someone came. Brandon had seen that it would happen and he was so fast that he managed to get there before she was petrified. Unfortunately, the light engulfed him instead.
"Brandon!" Stella screamed as he was hit. She stood up and touched his arm, finding it to be rock solid. "No, no, no. Please no." She muttered before she threw herself at him and started crying. The girls didn't know how to comfort her and they really couldn't because they were too busy trying to escape all the monsters that the Trix had conjured.
"Guys, this is serious." Musa said as she and Tecna avoided another basilisk's attack. "I think we should call Aisha."
"That's not a bad idea." Tecna said. "She'll understand that this is an emergency." After that, Musa quickly got her phone and sent Aisha a message. She made sure to express how urgent the situation was before sending it.
Back at Alfea...
"Oh god, why won't she stop crying?" Aisha screamed in frustration. Her and Nabu were in her dorm room at Alfea as they attempted to take care of her daughter. The little girl had been crying hard for the past hour and the couple didn't know what else to do. She had been changed, fed and played with. Nabu guessed the reason for her outburst was tiredness, but she had refused to go to sleep.
"I don't know!" Nabu screamed as he looked around the room desperately. Then he spotted something on the purple couch that he guessed could help them. He walked towards it and took the small flower. It was a sunflower and Lana's favorite toy. It had blue eyes, a big smile and small green hands and feet.
"Look, Lana. Look what Daddy just found." He told the little girl in Aisha's arms as he reached them. He showed her the flower and Lana's cries immediately stopped. She stretched her hands to pick up the toy and Nabu put it in her arms. She hugged the flower and laughed.
"There you go." Aisha sighed in relief and smiled at her husband. " Have I ever told you how much I love you?" He smiled back at her and walked closer, wrapping his arms around her. They leaned in for a kiss when Lana cried again. "No, no, please no." Aisha muttered, but there was no need to worry for the baby was simple calling for their attention. Once both parents looked at her, Lana gave a little laugh.
"She sure likes the attention." Nabu commented and Aisha shook her head.
"I blame that on Flora. She spoils her too much." The fairy of waves complained and Nabu laughed.
"We all spoil her too much. I guess no one can turn down this cutie." He pinched the little girl's nose and she laughed again before extending her arms towards him. He picked her up gently and Aisha threw herself on the couch.
"I am just exhausted. I barely got any sleep last night and Stella decided to wake me up so early." She complained and Nabu sat by her side.
"Why didn't you get much sleep?" He asked.
"I guess I missed Lana. It was my first night away from her since she was born." She told the specialist and he laughed. "What's so funny?" She asked him a little angry.
"It's not really funny. It's just that only yesterday you were telling me how you were afraid that you weren't going to be a good mom, that you weren't meant for it. However, I think that this is a sign that you were wrong."
"I'm not following you." She said, confused.
"Aisha, you were unable to sleep because you missed her and worried about her. That's enough proof to me that you'll be an amazing mother, you care so much." That sweet comment earned him another kiss and once again their attention was called by the little girl.
"Okay, I think I know what will help us survive this day." Aisha said as she stood up. Nabu gave her a confused look. "Whenever I felt too tired or stressed, Flora would make me some wonderful tea. It's all natural, of course, but you won't believe how well it works."
"Well, I guess we should try it, then." He told her with a smile and Aisha went to Flora and Bloom's shared room, knowing that the nature fairy always left some tea on her night stand in case her friends needed it. She walked towards it when she noticed something on the ground. A picture that was turned upside down. She curiously picked it up and she saw a smiling man in the picture. It wasn't Helia, though, or Flora's father. No, it was someone Aisha was sure that Flora had never mentioned before.
"Who is he?" The fairy of waves muttered to herself as she sat on the bed and stared at the picture. The young man was attractive, with short blonde hair and brown eyes. He seemed to be in his early twenties. Aisha wondered if he might be an old boyfriend, but she didn't think that Flora would hide something like that from them. She turned the picture so she could examine it and saw a few words inscripted in a language she didn't understand.
Mon petit chat, 19 ans.
Je t'aime plus que Leo aimes l'art. Tu es mon meilleur ami, mon seul ami.
Je vais t'aimer pour toujours. Tu es marqué dans mon coeur.
(Translation:My little cat, 19 years.
I love you more than Leo loves art. You are my best friend, my only friend. I'll love you forever. You are marked upon my heart.)
Below these words was a small drawing of a black cat. Aisha didn't understand any of this, but one thing she knew: Flora owed her a few explanations. A cry coming from the other room reminded her of what she was supposed to be doing there. She got up from the bed, poured some tea in two teacups and brought them to the living room, never losing her grip on the portrait. She decided not to tell Nabu about her discoveries or anyone else. This wasn't her secret to share, so she would first ask Flora about it and then she would decide whether or not she should tell the rest of them.
Back at Limphea College...
Flora and some students were hiding from the basilisks inside of a Treant. The nature fairy decided to take a look to see if the beast was still after them.
"Stay here." She told the students as she climbed the three and checked. She was met by the beast and was almost petrified, but the branches blocked the rays as she fell to the ground after losing her grip due to the shock. Miele came just then and she quickly used a spell to send the basilisk away.
"Flora, you okay?" She asked her older sister, but before Flora could answer, a Treant appeared behind her and took her.
"No! Put her down, now!" Flora ordered the Treant and it lunged for her. "Nice try, Treant." The nature fairy said as she easily escaped it's grip and jumped high in the air. She took out a rope from her pocket and wrapped it around another Treant. "Enough!" She screamed as she flew around both Treants and tried to reach for Miele. The one that was holding her started walking away, so Flora jumped at it and taunted it.
As it tried to get her, it let go of Miele, but she was sent flying fast, unable to control her powers. Flora quickly went after her while using the rope and was able to catch her. As they landed safely on the ground, she felt a strong energy course through her. Within seconds, she found herself transformed back into a fairy.
"Flora, you look beautiful!" Miele said as she started at her older sister.
"It's true, then. Brave actions will earn us a new power, Bloomix." Flora said as she looked at herself, liking the new transformation. Then her attention went back to the monsters that the Trix had conjured. She didn't know what to do about the basilisks, but she knew that she could defeat the Treants. So she gathered all of her magic sent a spell that, finally, made all of them go back to normal.
"Well done, Flora!" Helia screamed as he came to join her. "I knew that you could do it!" The couple shared a passionate kiss when they heard a yell.
"Hey, lovebirds! How come everytime I see you two these days you're making out?" Aisha playfully asked as she appeared near them. Flora and Helia broke apart and looked at her, blushing.
"I guess it's the engagement thing. They can't take their hands off each other." Musa said with a smirk as the couple blushed even harder. "You know, maybe we should try it." She told Riven playfully, but he didn't miss the truth beneath that statement. After Stella and Brandon and Flora and Helia got engaged, he noticed how Musa seemed to be constantly talking about it and giving hints. Now he was sure that she wanted him to propose, but he wasn't ready. He might love her more than anything, but marriage is a big step and he wanted them to have more time as boyfriend and girlfriend before that happened.
"You two should definitely try it. You know that I'm cheering for you." Stella said as she came to them. Her face wasn't happy, but the earlier desperation and anguish from seeing Brandon get petrified were gone. Her expression showed instead determination and hope.
"Hey, Stell. How are you?" Flora asked as she glanced at Brandon, now reduced to a statue.
"I'm okay." The blonde answered. When they gave her unbelieving looks, she added. "Seriously, guys. I know that we will find a way to bring back Brandon. I also know that he would never want me to waste time crying, he would want me to find a way so we can be together again." She cried at the last part as she thought about how much she missed him already. The others quickly gathered around her for a group hug.
"That's the spirit!" Musa said excitedly once they pulled apart.
"Yes, Stell, you can do it." Aisha added and she gave her a bright smile. Before Stella could thank them, another basilisk came their way. Flora and Helia ran away with Miele close to them while Musa, Tecna, Timmy and Riven ran to the opposite side. Stella and Aisha were left alone as two beasts followed them.
"They're everywhere!" Stella said as they looked around the school to find many beasts.
"And headed this way" Aisha added as they watched in horror as two of them came their way.
"So what do we do now?" The blonde asked. Aisha quickly thought about it and she reminded Stella of the step she had taught them during their training session. The fairy of the shining sun wasn't too excited to perform it, remembering how she had done it wrong before. However, Aisha was able to persuade her and soon they did a triple backflip, avoiding the attacks and making the two basilisks encounter each other and petrify each other.
"Way to go, Stella. That was incredible!" Aisha said as they high fived.
"Thanks, Aisha. I learn from the best." All of sudden both felt a strong energy wrap around them and soon they found themselves transformed into their Bloomix. "Wow. These outfits rock!" Stella said excitedly as she looked at herself.
"Yeah, they do. But now, get ready!" Aisha told her while looking at two more basilisks coming their way.
"Don't worry, Aisha, I've got this." Stella concentrated and soon she was glowing yellow and she used her newfound powers to erase all of the basilisks. Once it was done, everyone around the school cheered.
"Hmm. What?" She heard the voice of the man she loved. She quickly flew up to him and his face turned into a smile. "I knew that you would save me, sunshine." He said as she neared him.
"I was scared for a second, I thought that I had lost you." Stella lowered her head as tears came to her eyes.
"Stella, look at me." Brandon said as he pulled her chin up so she could look at him. "You'll never have to lose me. As long as you love me, I'll always be here. You are my soulmate and I love you so much." She gave him a big smile.
"God, you are soooo cheesy." She laughed and he joined her. "But you are my cheesy fiancée and I love you." They shared a kiss as Musa and Riven cheered from the other side of the school. Tecna and Timmy watched their friends with smiles as he wrapped his arms around her. After what had happened, he didn't plan on ever letting go.
"You're not going anywhere, Flora." A witch said as Flora found herself surrounded by three of them. They had come out of nowhere and attacked her, Helia and Miele. Flora had asked him to keep an eye on her younger sister as she took care of the witches.
"I know, but you are." Flora sent a spell towards the witches and they were sent back to Cloud Tower. Miele smiled at the scene.
"I have the coolest sister." She told Helia and he smiled as well.
"I have no doubt about that." He said to her.
Back with Bloom...
The fire fairy was trying to keep the Trix at bay, but it was proving to be really hard. Never had she fought the three of them at the same time and she was having trouble with it. It was a good thing that a distraction came in the form of three witches flying towards Cloud Tower.
"What the hell? They're going the wrong way!" Icy complained.
"Lost your back up, Icy?" Bloom smirked although this didn't solve her situation. Just then, Aisha, Stella and Flora appeared near her and she was surprised for a second.
"Time to pack it up and move along!" Aisha said as she cast an attack towards the Trix.
"I was growing tired of this place anyways." Darcy said with a yawn before the Trxi left the fight with a killer look at the four fairies.
"I'm glad they're gone." Stella said.
"Me too. So, you already got your new powers?" Bloom asked as she looked at her friends.
"Yep. It wasn't even that hard." Stella said and they laughed. With the Trix gone, the girls decided to go back to Limphea College. They were welcome with applauses by the specialists and students. Everyone spent the next few minutes celebrating their victory against the Trix.
"Gosh, she is just so cute!" Miele was saying as she looked at baby Lana. Nabu had brought her after Aisha told him that everything was okay and the battle was over. The young girl was now holding the squirming baby in her arms.
"Isn't she?" Flora said while smiling. The baby extended her arms towards her and she gladly picked her up. "She's like the best niece ever. For now." She gave Miele a look and her sister just rolled her eyes. "Hey, think we could have lunch some other day?" Flora asked her, wanting to spend some time with her little sister that didn't involve fighting against the enemy.
"Sure. Just give me a call." Miele responded and they shared a hug.
"Okay, girls. We should get back to Alfea now because I am starving!" Stella said and everyone laughed. They said their last goodbyes to the students before the Winx went back to the ship while the specialists and paladins mounted their bikes.
Back at Cloud Tower...
The Trix watched as the Winx and students of Limphea College celebrated their victory. Anger was on the three witches faces as they thought about how they had failed to destroy the Winx once again.
"This is unbelievable!" Stormy complained as she sent a spell towards a nearby bookshelf, destroying it.
"Tell me about it. It's like we never have luck on our side." Darcy said.
"Then we better have it. Three of them don't have these stupid new powers yet, so we gotta destroy them before they do." Icy said firmly. It was a good plan, but how to put it into action was another subject.
"I don't get why the basilisks weren't enough. I guess the Winx are more powerful than you thought." Selina told the three. They gave her a look that made her want to run away.
"You've done your part here, Selina. Now, go." Icy commanded and the witch of snakes gladly left the room and went into her own. Getting there, she saw a woman sitting on her bed and she almost jumped.
"Hello, there, Selina." The woman had long curly blonde hair, brown eyes and creamy skin. She wore a long dark red dress that reached past her knees and a black necklace.
"You scared me, Catherine." The young girl commented as she walked into the room and closed the door behind her.
"My apologies, dear. I thought you'd be expecting me. After all, things didn't work out exactly as planned." The woman frowned
" They certainly didn't. The Winx are far more powerful than we had expected." Selina commented and the woman stood up.
"Indeed they are. When they lost their powers it was the perfect moment to attack, but now I must think of a new plan." Catherine looked outside the window thoughtfully. A new plan started forming on her mind.
"So what will we do?" Selina asked her.
"We'll let the Legendariun do the job for us. Soon." There was silence for a few minutes, both women lost in thought. Until Selina asked the question that had plagued her mind ever since she had met Catherine.
"So, will I ever learn anything about you? I mean, you know everything about me. All I know is that you want to destroy the Winx." Catherine gave her a stern look.
"When the time's right, maybe the whole truth will be revealed to you. For now all you need to know is that I have a plan and the Winx are standing in the way, so I must get rid of them. No matter what it takes, I won't fail." With that said, she disappeared, leaving Selina alone and confused.
So what did you think? Who do you think Catherine is? And why does she want to destroy the Winx? For those who are Acheron's fans, I'm sorry, but it would be too much to add him alongside the Trix, Selina and Catherine. There are too many villains already.
So did you like the Aisha and Nabu scenes? What about the Stella and Brandon and Tecna and Timmy? Did you like that I brought up the Omega Incident? It's weird how they never brought it up again in the series, considering it was major for Tecna and Timmy.
Next chapter we'll have cute Flora/Helia/baby Lana scenes, Tecna meeting Timmy's parents, Musa and Riven cute scenes and Tecna/Musa friendship. Two chapters from now will be 6X06 and I have a surprise planned. Considering I have three huge tests next week the next update will probably come by next Friday or Saturday. I'm sorry you'll have to wait, but unfortunately, school comes first.
