Oh dear, looks like Fontlaroid's in a real doozy of a pickle, what does Lockette have in mind to clear Fonty's name? let's find out
The next morning at a small village in a forest, Fontlaroid, Lockette and her pixie pals were going over their plan to get the Winx Club to trust Fontlaroid, their plan was called "Operation Anthro"
"So how does this work again?" Fontlaroid asks
"It's very simple, Digit, Jolly, Glim, Zing and Chatta dress up as a flying vindolf hobgoblin who's terrorizing the pixies around Alfea, Tune, Amore, Piff and I will alert the Winx acting like we're really in danger, the winx will head over to the village getting attacked by the beast, and that's where you come in, you protect us, the hobgoblin retreats in fear, and then you'll gain their trust" Lockette explained
"I'm still not so sure this will work" he remarked feeling a bit nervous
"It'll work, we are the Winx Club's bonded pixies after all" replied Digit
"Plus we might get Roxy to help out" remarked Tune
"Uh who's Roxy?" Fontlaroid asked
"She's the fairy of animals, and since you're a duck, she'll do what ever she can to help" answered Zing
"I'm a platypus" Fontlaroid said with a glare
"No shame in that, alright then let's get this show on the road, remember the signal" Zing suggested
"I cannot believe I'm doing this" he muttered to himself
"Hey wait, how are we gonna go in there?, the shield's up you know" replied Chatta
"You obviously forgot that I am the pixie of portals" Lockette answered as opened the shield, Zing and the other pixies got ready in their costume, Font hid in the bushes, Livy went inside to look for Roxy, and Lockette's team went in position to where the Winx could see them
Meanwhile, the Winx were returning to Alfea without any trace of Fonty anywhere
"Man that little mutant weasel's like a chameleon" Stella exclaimed
"I'm sure he'll be back soon, and when he does we'll be ready for him" remarked Bloom
Meanwhile inside the building, a young girl was reading a book, this girl had long pink hair with yellow tips
"Hey Roxy!" shouted a voice down the hall, it was Livy
"Hi Livy whats up" Roxy asked
"The pixies and I need your help, there's this friend who's been completely judged the wrong way and we need you to help turn this mess around" Livy explained
"Sure, what do you need me to do?" Roxy asked
While Roxy and Livy were discussing the plan, something lurked from under Roxy's bed, it was a periwinkle-magenta ferret like creature with four tenticals, piercing blue eyes,bat wings and yellow sharp fangs,without Roxy and Livy noticing, this creature was sniffing out a trail from outside and spotted four pixies, the beast stared at them with a nasty look on its face
Meanwhile, Lockette and her friends were getting ready to put Operation Anthro into action
"BLOOM! HELP US!" Lockette shouted in fake fear which got the Winx Club's attention
"Lockette! whats the matter?" asked Bloom feeling concerned
"There's a Vindolf Hobgoblin attacking the pixies!" Lockette exclaimed
"Where is it?" Aisha asked
"In the school courtyard, hurry!" Lockette suggested
They noticed that the Vindolf cornered Piff, Amore and Tune, ready to devour them viciously
"OH NO! PIFF" Ashia exclaimed
"GET AWAY FROM AMORE YOU BEAST" Shouted Stella
"TUNE! GET OUT OF THERE! HURRY" Musa shouted to Tune
In the bushes, Font was waiting for the signal, but he was getting very worried
"SOMEBODY HELP US!" exclaimed Amore and Tune
just when the monster was about tho eat them alive, Fontlaroid leaps out of the bushes and tackles the creature
"What was that?" Musa exclaimed
"Look, it's that thieving duck again" Stella announced
"I'M A PLATYPUS" Fontlaroid shouted while tying his tenticals into a knot
"Are you little guys okay?" he asked
"Oh yes, very much, thank you for saving us" replied Amore while hugging him
"You're more than welcome" Fonty said while blushing
"Wow! You saved the pixies, how come?" Flora asked
"I was trying to tell you that I'm one of the good guys" Fonty answered
"Then why did you steal that book from us? why did you break into magical archives and why did you attack one of our students?" Musa reminded him
"Okay look I never ment to steal any..." before he could finish, the rest of the pixies appeared in the costume
"Grrrr, I'm a Vindolf hobgoblin" Digit mimicked
"Digit? what are you doing?" asked Techna
"Just hanging around" Digit answered while chuckling nervously
"Wait Digit weren't you supposed to be in the vindolf suit?" Lockette asked
"But I am, and I thought I was doing a pretty good job" Digit answered
"Wait, if Digit's team is over there, then what's this?" Fontlaroid asked
"That would be an actual Vindolf" Zing answered
"An actual...Vindolf...Hob...goblin!?" Fonty exclaimed in fear as his face turned as white as a ghost, then he fainted
"Fontlaroid, wake up, oh dear, are you okay?" asked Tune, then Roxy and Livy arrived too late
"Uh oh" Livy exclaimed
"What happened?" Roxy asked feeling concerned about Fonty
"Well, when he found that he was tussling with a real vindolf, he passed out" answered Chatta
"Is he gonna be okay?" Asked Bloom
"I hope so, we should probably take him to see Miss Faragonda, he should still explain himself when he wakes up" Techna suggested
"Okay but let's be gentle, we don't wanna frighten him like we did last time" Flora figured
"Good idea" everyone agreed, Roxy carried Fonty who was still in a fainted state into the office
10 minutes later, Fontlaroid was waking up in a strange-looking office
"Oh my head, not again, where am I this time?" he asked himself while rubbing his head
"You're in my office recovering from your encounter with the Vindolf" answered a voice from behind Fonty, it was the same elderly woman from last night
"And you are?" she asked
"Uh Fontlaroid, my name is Fontlaroid" he answered nervously while shaking her hand
"I'm Headmistress Faragonda, proud owner of the Alfea school for fairies" she introduced
"Nice to meet you, so why am I here anyway? is it because of last night?" Fonty asked
"Well sorta" another voice replied, when he turned around, he noticed the seven same girls from last night
"Oh no!, Oh no!, Oh no!, OH NO!" Fontlaroid exclaimed in fear as he attempted to jump out of the window but Roxy grabbed him by the tail
"Wait Fonty relax, we're not gonna hurt you, we just wanna talk" Roxy explained calming Fonty down
"Well okay" Fonty said fearfully as he sat down
"We found out why you assaulted Mirta, is it because she's a witch?" Musa asked
"What? no, you don't understand, I never even saw her down there when I jumped out, that was not even supposed to happen, it was a complete accident" Fontlaroid explained getting defensive
"Oh, we're very sorry about that, we had no idea" Bloom replied
"No problem" Fontlaroid remarked
"Excuse me Fonty, but what was a strange duck like you doing in the magical archives?" Stella asked, that question made Fonty facepalm himself in frustration
"Okay first of all, I'm a platypus! I'm a PLAT-Y-PUS!, not a duck, I don't do no quacking thing" he shouted in aggravation
"Alright alright, my bad, just chill" Stella remarked
"Secondly, I was just looking for a place to stay for the night, I didn't think anyone actually lived here, I'm very sorry" Fonty said feeling guilty
"No it's our fault, we shouldn't have attacked you in the first place" Flora apologized back
"But what were you doing with that book?" Techna asked
"I just thought this would help me get back to my universe" Fonty answered
"You're not from here?" Musa asked getting confused
"Where are you from exactly?" Aisha asked
"Ridgeway" he answered, but then he thought of something
"Wait I didn't quite catch your names" Fonty replied
"Oh right sorry, my name's Bloom, and these are my friends Stella, Musa, Flora, Techna, Aisha and Roxy" Bloom introduces
"Hello, pleasure to meet you all" Fonty replied politely "My name is..."
"We know, it's Fontlaroid, Chatta explained everything" Flora finished for him
"She squealed?" Fonty asked in shock
"Well yeah, she is the pixie of gossip" Stella answered
"That just says it all" Fonty remarked which made Flora and Musa giggle a bit
"Anyway about the book, it had the instructions on how I can travel to different universes" Fonty explained, Faragonda took a look at this book
"Oh my! Heroes of Animation!" Faragonda exclaimed
"does that mean you're..." before Techna could finish
"Yep, he's an anthropomorphic being" Digit finished for Techna
"That's right! and right now I'm on this quest to get all my friends back together and head back home" Fonty explained
"You mean there's more creatures like you around here?" Stella asked in amazement
"Well yes and no, yes there's more anthropomorphic creatures like me, no not around here, but in many other universes" Fontlaroid explained
"Other universes?" Aisha asked
"Yeah, Norman told me so" Fonty replied
"Who's Norman?" Musa asked
"He's sorta my mentor" Fonty answered
"Well Fontlaroid, is there a way you can teleport to those universes?" Techna asked
"I wish I knew, maybe there's a spell in here that can help" Fonty thought as he looked through the pages while asking a few questions
"So you girls are fairies?" he asked
"Yeah, we're the Winx Club" Bloom answered
"You don't say" Fonty remarked in amazement
"And what was that about the Trix last night?" he asked
"The Trix are an evil trio of witches bent on taking over the magical dimmension, one of them has the power to control weather, her name's Stormy, another has the power of darkness and manipulation, her name is Darcy, and their leader is the worst one yet, she could freeze you into a crystal statue if she wants to, her name is Icy" Bloom explained
"I cannot believe you thought I was working for them" Fonty said in disgust
"Yeah, sorry" Musa apologized
"It's okay, wait..didn't you say Mirta was a witch? why does she come to this school then?" Fonty asked
"Well you see, she was different from all the other students at Cloud Tower" Faragonda answered
"Cloud Tower? let me guess, school for witches?" Fonty asked
"You got it" Stella answered as Fontlaroid found what he was looking for
"There it is, a universal portal spell, unfortunately it only works when the user's inside a mode of transportation" Fontlaroid replied
"I know who could help" Techna exclaimed as she got out her phone and called someone she thought would help
Somewhere inside a red tower, there was a young man with orange hair and glasses surfing the web until he got a call from somebody
"Hello?" the young man asked
"Hey Timmy" it was Techna on the other line
"Oh hello Techna, what's up" Timmy asked
"There's this friend who got transported from another universe and his associates got teleported to other different ones as well, so could you and the other specialists come over and lend a hand?" Techna asked
"Sure, we'll be right over" Timmy answered before he hung up, got up and searched for the other specialists
Meanwhile at Alfea
"So who did you call?" Fontlaroid asked
"That was my boyfriend Timmy, one of the specialists of Red Fountain" Techna answered
"Specialists? Red Fountain?" Fonty asked in confusion
"It's school for heroes, and they're our boyfriends" Bloom answered
"Oh" Fonty replied, then suddenly a huge red airship came down for landing, it landed in front of the courtyard
"There's our ride" Musa exclaimed
The Winx, Faragonda, the pixies and Fontlaroid all head outside to meet the people joining them on the adventure, there were six guys walking out, one of them had blonde hair, another had short brown hair, one had long blue hair, one had purple spikey hair and one other guy had dark skin and blonde
"Sky, so glad you could make it" Bloom exclaims in delight hugging the blonde
"Glad to see you too Bloom" Sky replied hugging back and smiling
"So they're your boyfriends I presume" Fonty asked
"Yeah, That's Bloom's boyfriend Sky, he's crowned prince of Eraklyon" Musa answered
"you don't say" Fonty replied
"That's Stella's boyfriend Brandon" Musa said referring to the young man with brown hair "That's Helia, he's Flora's boyfriend" referring to the one with long blue hair "Over there is Timmy, Techna's boyfriend, and over there is Roy" referring to the dark-skinned one with blonde hair
While Musa and Fontlaroid were talking, the guy with purple spiky hair noticed and walked up to Musa interrupting their chat
"Hey! Hey Musa! who's your new friend" the young man said with a scowl on his face
"Riven this is Fontlaroid, Fontlaroid this is Riven, my boyfriend" Musa introduced, and they shook hands without emotion
"Whats up?" Riven introduces with a blank stare
"Hello" Fonty introduces also with a blank stare
"Oh brother" Musa said to herself, feeling that something will go wrong
"Alright everyone let's get moving" Brandon exclaimes
The pixies were told to stay with Faragonda and Roxy where they'll be safe
"Remember, what you're about to encounter is unlike any adventure you've ever faced, be very carefull" Faragonda suggested
"Sure thing Miss Faragonda" replied Bloom
"Ready Fonty?" Musa asked
"Ready's my middle name" he answered, then he opened up the book and chanted the universal portal spell
"Let all who enter the world of unreal, let all gates open and not conseal, help us locate all of our friends, wherever the animation sends"
After that, a portal opened up and everyone was prepared
"Get ready everyone!" Bloom exclaimed
The airship was clear for take off and entered the portal
"Be careful!" Faragonda said gently knowing that they will succeed in their quest
But then three shadowy figures followed the airship with malevolent expressions on their faces as they enter the portal while sharing a maniacal laugh
Well it looks like the Winx Club finally realize the truth thanks to the pixies
Who do think those shadowy female figures could be?
What do you think is in store for our heroes?
And what about the rest of Fontlaroid's pals? find out in "Chapter 6: Beauty and the Bout"
"Remember, you can't have classic without class"
