A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for taking so long, but it took you long enough to make me feel, that I should continue :) But eventually someone (blomusrox) was nice enough to click the "Review this chapter" button and write a nice review. This one and the one that Bloom4Sky wrote encouraged me and I started writing again. Well this is kinda my present for the 3rd advent, so enjoy and review!
I even made a trailer for my story(before I knew how the story would go on): .com/watch?v=sC_VYBoBR_8
"Layla?" Everybody started screaming when they saw her. They ran towards her and hugged her all at once, but she was too weak stand their weight, so Stella supported her.
"But – Why – I thought – How," Musa stuttered, tears in her eyes.
"I haven't been dead. I couldn't be alive now if I was dead half an hour ago.
"But why would Sky lie to us," Flora asked worried.
"Sky didn't lie. At least he didn't lie on purpose. Maybe he was too upset about the thing with Bloom, that he missed the signs of life. It really hurt him, you know," Brandon stated angrily.
"No," a loud voice said from behind. We turned in shock and saw Sky walking down the hallway. "I would have noticed. I tried everything I could to bring her back to life, and you have to admit, that it's very unlikely that I missed her heartbeat every time."
"But Sky. She is alive. She is standing right in front of you!" Riven sounded annoyed.
"Thanks for the information Riven, but I already knew that!"
The boys stared at each other angrily and I didn't know what to do, till an idea crossed my mind.
"What if..." I was thrilled.
Timmy looked over my shoulder and analyzed the things I was typing into my computer.
"Tecna you are awesome. I think you're right. The parapsychologic connection between her and her surroundings may have caused an emotional action followed by a physical reaction to her innermost despair."
"This is exactly what I thought about! Girls and guys, I think we know what happened."
As I looked up everybody looked at us confusedly.
"What the heck were you talking about?"
The faces of the others matched the words Stella had just said.
"Timmy said, that Bloom probably used her powers to heal Layla. That was the little flame you mentioned Stella. At least Bloom noticed, that there was a fight, why couldn't she hear you talking about Layla's death?"
"But I thought the virus absorbed all her powers," Musa wondered.
"Not in general. She did use her powers when she caught fire all the time.
She is able to use her powers on the outside but not on the inside, which means she can't hear herself of fight against the virus."
"Are you sure Tecna," Sky asked.
"99.9 % sure and since we know that now we have to find a way to either heal Bloom or to use Bloom's power on the outside to heal her."
"Do you two brainiacs have any idea how we should so that?"
I looked at Timmy, but he looked just as uninspired as I did.
"Not yet."
"Why don't we ask Miss Faragonda? Maybe she knows a way," Flora suggested.
"But someone should go look after Bloom," Stella said.
"I'm gonna do that. Maybe Sky wants to come with me," I proposed.
Stella POV
We walked down the destructed corridor heading for our headmistress's office and we stopped in front of the door as we heard something.
"Probably. Valtor always is the source of the problem."
I ripped the door open.
"Valtor is back? Why didn't you tell us," I asked furiously.
"Calm down Stella. Valtor isn't back. You've defeated him once and for all," Faragonda told me.
"But why is he a problem then," Flora asked carefully.
"Sit down and I'll tell you.
Well. You did notice that the Trix are much stronger than before. They got powers from Valtor, but since there were three of them, he didn't give them much of his power, because he was afraid they could overpower him.
Finally you defeated Valtor and set the spells free that he kept in his box. But we didn't free the powers he collected a while ago. Before he was brought to the Omega dimension, to be precise.
He still had those powers and he kept them in his body, so the Trix went to find his body and steal the spells.
Unfortunately they succeeded and now they are very powerful.
You can't rely on your powers anymore. They are an important weapon in the fight against the Trix, but they alone won't lead you to victory.
I guess that Virus that Bloom suffers from is also one of Valtor's more complicated tricks. I have told Palladium, that he should get more information on the virus, so we can narrow down where it comes from. This may be our only chance to save Bloom, but after she healed Layla, I'm not sure if her power will last until we found out how to heal her."
"But if they took Valtor's magic, doesn't it mean, that they have the dragonfire too," Stella asked anxiously.
"No. You defeated him by extinguishing the fire. The only person now, who has control of the dragonfire is Bloom. And maybe her mother Mariam, if she's alive."
Then it knocked on the door and Palladium came in.
"Miss Faragonda. I just examined Bloom and went to the lab. The virus has its seeds in pure darkness. There are not many planets with enough dark energy to bring forth such a powerful spell."
"Let's see which ones have enough dark energy. Shall we," Faragonda asked, just before she clapped her hands twice. Suddenly we were standing in a dark room, planets floating around. It was a 3D model of the magical universe.
It was enormous.
Suddenly a pixie flew towards us and stopped in front of Miss Faragonda's face.
"Long time no see, Miss Faragonda. I hope you're okay. And as I see you brought the princesses of Solaria and Andros with you. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Yes I am fine, thanks Porta, but we need your help."
"Whatever you want."
"Could you please show us the planets based on dark magic? We need to find the source of a very powerful spell."
She waved with her scepter and most of the planets vanished. The only ones left, were hard to see in the darkness, because they were black.
Although they were just models, they spread an aura that made me shiver and Brandon squeezed my hand.
"Wow. These planets look very hostile. I wonder who lives on such a planet," I said.
"I guess we'll find out soon," Riven stated.
Suddenly Miss Faragonda started speaking again.
"Porta. Could you give us some details please?"
She zoomed in on the first one.
"This is Aegrota. This planet is based on pain and loneliness. Everyone in pain strengthens the power of it and it doesn't matter if it is physical or psychical pain."
She waved her scepter to zoom in on the next one.
"This is Ira and it's the planet of anger. It is pretty destructed from many fights. It holds very powerful spells, so dark wizards often tried to get them, but the aura of the planet confused people so much, that they ended up crazy, because it only strengthened their hunger for power.
And last but not least there is Odia. Its power lays in hate and mistrust.
There also are hidden powers, but you have to be very desperate to take them. If you have any good thought it breaks you, but for those, who are evil and nothing but that it means indescribable power and strength."
"Thanks Porta. You really helped us," Faragonda said softly.
"Wait. But you don't intend going there? These are the darkest and most evil planets in the magic universe. It would be suicide to go there."
"Thanks for the warning," I said hysterically.
"But you didn't see us in action. We are capable of far more than you imagine," Musa added confidently.
She probably was right. She was the fairy of music and she didn't need light to increase her powers. But the fairy of the sun, which coincidentally was me, wouldn't be very powerful, without any sunlight. It's like you are a burning fire and you jump into the sea.
Faragonda clapped her hands again and we were back in her office.
"Well girls. We don't have much time, so you can't visit one planet after another. You will have to split up.
Musa. You and Riven will go to Aegrota. I don't know what you have to look for, but if there is something worth finding, you will find it. I am sure of that.
Flora and Helia, you will search on Ira and last but not least Stella and Brandon.
You will visit Odia, but since I know, Stella, that your powers will be limited, due to the darkness, Stella, you will take Tecna and Timmy with you.
Is that alright?"
We all nodded.
After Flora,Helia,Musa and Riven were gone we went to pick up Tecna. After we had explained everything I transformed, so I could transport us.
"STELLA ENCHANTIX!"
A wonderful and comforting warmth came over me and spread inside of me. A light brighter than the sun was growing inside of me and gave me strength.
I was pretty sure, that I could light up a whole planet right now and what was even better: I felt even more beautiful.
I landed softly and elegantly on the ground and smiled at the people surrounding me.
"Let's go get 'em! Or it...whatever!"
Brandon pecked me and I transported us to the most blood-curdling planet I would ever visit.
What is awaiting them? ;) I don't know yet...Well I admit, I do :D
I hope you liked it and I will be romantic now :D
(yes I'm starting to write the 9th chapter now xD)
Well thanks again for reading my story! You are awesome!
