Hey everyone! Well, as macabreXpurinsesu puts it: And so the mission starts…Chapter 6

Now, without meaning to be pessimistic, the space around Cloud Tower was big. And we're talking BIG big. And Riven wasn't feeling exactly optimistic. As there were only two leva bikes, and the winx girls needed to save their energy for fighting whoever had taken Layla and Tecna, everyone was in the ship. Timmy was freaking out, like he always did whenever Tecna got involved with something bad and so Riven was driving. Riven felt really bitter about that. Anytime spent driving could have been used trying to convince Musa to talk to him. But it seemed that he was the chauffeur for now. But to where, he wasn't sure.

Bloom sat tensely in the back, trying with all her might to read the auras of anyone who was around, so she could try and sense where Layla and Tecna could be. Unfortunately nothing was happening. Stella had conjured up a mirror and was examining her nose, trying to root out non-existent spots, and half-listening to everyone about her. Musa was hunched up in a chair, making sure she didn't look at Riven, and Flora was comforting Timmy.

"What if she's hurt? I could never forgive myself if anything happened to Tecna…or Layla and-"

"Timmy."

"I'm supposed to be a hero, I'm really pathetic and-"

"Timmy."

"What will I do if she's dead or anything? I mean-"

"TIMMY!" exploded Flora, which was a very uncharacteristic thing for her to do, "Will you be quiet! I can sense something! Please," she added as an after thought.

"What is it Flora?" asked Musa, still determinedly not looking at Riven.

"There's something down there! Something alive!"

"Going down," said Riven, and he manoeuvred the ship down to the ground.

What they saw here was not what they were expecting. A giant ice-creature was pounding the ground, growling in a fury, and did not look very friendly. The winx transformed, and flew out of the ship. The creature roared ominously at them.

"Oh dear," said Flora, "Oh dear oh dear oh dear."

"Don't worry, said Bloom, "I'll make short work of this! DRAGON FIRE!" and she threw a huge ball of glowing orange fire at it. Nothing happened.

"Here!" shouted Musa, "SOUND BLAST!" Nothing happened.

"We'd better use convergence!" cried Stella. All the winx concentrated and threw a huge sphere of magic at the monster. It immeditately melted.

"Yes!" yelled Stella, "It didn't even mess up my make-up!"

"Come on, let's go in!" and so all the fairies ran into the rundown shack.

There was no one in the whole building. All there was was one word, written on a scrap of paper:

Losers.
