Chapter 8 : Goodby

by Waterbendergirl

Bloom's eyes bore confusion as she looked around, magix was so different since last time she saw it. It remembered her at the time Magix and the hole dimension was plagued by the trix, who had stolen the dragon fire from her. A cool wind breezed through the empty streets of magix, making Bloom shiver. She only wore her blue stripped tank top and her jeans skirt. Baltor felt her shivering against his chest, not knowing if it was of the cold or just the memory of being here again, pulled her closer and raped a part of his jacket around her shoulders. Bloom leaned in and laid her head satisfied on his chest.

"It all looks so different around here" she started.

"I know, but we must go , you'll never know what creatures Ra has here spying for him, it's not safe to stay at one place, totally unprotected. Let's go to the place we last saw him.

Bloom nodded a yes and the left the cold place, once known as Magix. After a good 5 minute walk they had reached the place where they had last spotted Ra, during the battle. Bloom noticed that this spot, was the same spot they have fought just 2 years ago. The battle in which the trix recognized for the first time that Bloom was the keeper of the dragon fire. It had been so easy to defeat them, why had this time had to be different.

Baltor squeezed her shoulder when she saw the sadness in her eyes. "Are you alright."

"Mmm, just bringing up some old memories." Bloom loosened from his grip and stepped forwards, calling out her friends names : "Stella, Layla, Tec, were are you guys."

Baltor felt a sudden feeling of proud when she didn't called out Sky's name, it made him feel like the only love in her life. He stepped closer to her, softly putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "They are here, I can sense them."

"I hope they are" Bloom said as she leaned in to his touch.

"Well, well, what do we have here" a raw sounding voice said behind them.

Bloom spun around only to late to avoid a lightning beam who was coming straight forward, Baltor's hand shot out before her, making a shield of his own magic, protecting Bloom.

"See you've come out of hiding" Ra smirked, "Have you finally grown up? So have you been?"

"You monster, were are my friends and the other friends." Bloom shouted, Baltor hold her by her upper arms, afraid that if he would let her go she would throw herself immediately at Ra.

"Come, come , here I was thinking that we could actually have a civilized conversation."

"It takes a human to have a civilized conversation" Baltor hissed.

"Owch , that hurts" he says with a fake sad smile, "proving to you that I am indeed human, and I do have a hart I will share my generosity with you."

Bloom and Baltor shot questioning glares at Ra. "What do you mean?"

"I mean this" Ra swung his arms in the air, drawing a circle that immediately turned into a portal, letting 11 bodies fall out of it. "Seeing that I like playing with you all last time, I want to give you another chance."

Bloom rushed to her friends side, their wounds had healed and the fairies were still in their enchantix outfit. The first to open her eyes was Stella. She squealed when she saw Bloomed and pulled her friend into a hug. "You're alright."

"Of course I am" Bloom answered, embracing her friend. The others woke up from Stella's shouts of happiness.

"Bloom" the girls said all at the same time, as they jumped at her. When she was finally released she saw Sky, looking at her with so much love in his eyes, she felt ashamed of the way she felt for Baltor. "I've missed you so much" he said while raping his arms around her petit waist, he leaned down trying to kiss her lips. Bloom lifted her head, just in time to avoid his lips.

Baltor stood at a distant, his nails digging into his flesh as he was trying to restrain the urge to push Sky away.

"What's wrong?" he asked, while pushing her bangs out of her eyes, but his question was silenced, by a building falling down.

"That's a question that will be answered later" Baltor said stern, "first we have other things to worry about."

Flora stepped towards Bloom, "Bloom, sweetie, we aren't you transforming", but Bloom hadn't the opportunity to answer, as another building cam falling towards the floor. "That's worries for later, Bloom you come with me" Sky said, while grabbing her arm, pushing her in front of him when he saw some of Ra's shadow minions coming his way.

"Let's split up"he ordered taking Bloom with him, rather dragging , seeing that Bloom wasn't so eager to go with him, as did the others, splitting up, each with their partners leaving Baltor alone. Bloom shot him a sad glare as she saw all the minions lounging at him. Bloom turned around when she felt a hot breath in her neck and when she turned around she saw a dark creature jumping on top of her making Bloom lose her balance. She fell to the ground with a loud humph. Baltor, who had seen it all happen shot a fireball at the creature, at the same time threw his sword. She turned around , wanting to say thank you but what she saw then made her word crashing down. Ra had appeared behind Baltor, he had taken him by surprise and plunged his sword into his back. Baltor's eyes became blank, as he fell to the floor , faced down.

"Noooo" Tears were rolling over her eyes, she gathered all the energy Baltor had given her and did something that would probably cost her her life.

"Enchantix" Bloom's body was lifted into the air as a red dragon appeared and twirled around her legs , body, upper body and her arms. Slowly the dragon vaporized into fairy dust and leaving a blue-green ruffled dress behind. A blue ribbon was slipped on both foot and turned into some kind of sandal. Then a pink ribbon was slipped on both arms, turning into pink gloves. Finally the top of her hair was pulled back into a bun, held in place with 6 hearth shaped clips, 3 on both sides.

She fired an energy ball , making Ra stumbled backwards, he lifted from the ground, flying to the west. Bloom rushed to Baltor's side and in the blink of an eye, she had her heart shaped bottle in her hand. It was only filled for one-tenth , but hopefully it would be enough to both heal Baltor and to have enough magic to survive the fight. She opened the bottle , and purred the dust on his wound, with every bit of dust that left the bottle, she felt her energy level drop. She became dizzy and when she looked down she saw bits of blood falling onto Baltor's back, blood falling from her own nose. The wound closed very slowly and before she realized she had emptied the bottle and all her magic was gone. She started to shiver, with one hand holding her in balance, she placed her other hand on Baltor's shoulder, trying to make him wake up.

"Common she begged"

Suddenly she felt his back rise as he took in a deep breath, Bloom smiled contently as Baltor rised to his feet, but when he saw Bloom he fell to his knees, gathering her in his arms. "You're really stupid for doing that" he said and added whispering "but I love you for it." He felt Bloom weakening in his arms and he shook her lightly "Bloom, common wake up."

The winx and Sky sprinted towards Baltor.

"What have you done" he asked, but didn't even wait for his answer and pushed him beside, gathering Bloom in his hand, bridal style.

"Let me help" Tecna let out the electronic bug that she had used on Layla the first time she saw her coming out of the wood and let it examine Bloom. "I'm afraid she's under a blinding spell"

"You bastard , what have you done" Musa yelled at Baltor.

"I've done nothing wrong, I can help her, she needs energy, my energy."

"And why should we trust you?" Stella asked. The winx shot him deadly glares, only Flora was the one who saw the way he looked at Bloom. She was the fairy of love and nature, he could see the love Baltor held for Bloom in eyes, he loved her.

"I think we should give him a try" Flora said. Sky hesitantly handed her over to Baltor, he took her carefully in his arms and laid her on the ground. He hoped that his little trick would work again. He closed his eyes and bended down, covering her lips with his and breathing out dragon fire. He heard small gasps coming from behind him as he captured Bloom's lips with his. He felt he body shuddering under his touch and knew she was wakening up when he felt Bloom respond to his touch and turned it onto a quick kiss.

"Bloom" Sky pushed Baltor aside for the what seemed hundred time and hugged Bloom to his chest."Are you alright" he whispered. Bloom nodded.

"It's time to settle things" Baltor said as he took off, flying into the west, where Ra had flown off to just minutes ago.

"What is he going to do?" Flora asked frightened? But her question was answered by a blast, sending out a wind that knocked everyone out of their positions. People were reappearing all over magix, they looked pale and bewildered, not sure of what happened to them. They were all back, that could only mean one thing Bloom thought and her thoughts were answered by a sharp pain in her chest, her stomach was one fire, sending the energy through her whole body, she could feel her energy levels rising. She had her powers back and that's how she knew, Ra's dead.

She looked into the west, only to see the sun setting, as if with the sunset the rain of Ra fell to. She tried to sense Baltor, feel where he was , but nothing was there. She closed her eyes, focusing on his image and suddenly she saw through his eyes. She looked around and saw trees and bushes around her. Bloom snapped out of it and jumped to her feet. He was in the woods .

"Bloom, sweetie , are you alright?" Flora asked, but Bloom had already took off, into the direction of the forest. Not sure if anyone would follow her, she threw up a shield, so no one could get into the forest.

She had to squeeze her eyes almost shut, to see anything, it was so dark , thank god the moon was already rising to grant her the light she searched. On the ground she saw blood trails and followed them, hoping that it wasn't Baltor's trail she was following.

She heard a small groan behind her and turned around. She was shocked to see Baltor lying in front of her, his chest almost ripped open.

"Ow no" she cradled him in her arms and held his head against he chest.

"What happened to you."

"It's nothing" Baltor responded, Bloom's heart sunk to her shoes as she heard how weak his voice was. She grasped her bottle from her necklace, but was stopped by Baltor before she could sprinkle any of the dust on his wounds.

"I don't think that will help." He smiled weakly.

Bloom , knowing that his words were true burst out into tears, sobbing and crying she held him closer to her. Baltor leaned into her touch and gently stroke the bangs out of her eyes.

"I want you to do something for me."

"Anything" she sobbed.

"I want you to live happily, do not mourn my death. Don't let the rest of your live depend on that, be happy , please. Go and marry Sky, I know that you still love him deep in your heart."

"I can't marry Sky, I love you, I promised I would never leave you." Bloom cried out, letting his body drop to the floor . Baltor took Bloom's face in his arms and whipped away her tears with his thumbs.

"I'd forgive you if you would." He leaned closer to her, claiming her lips, he felt the tears fall onto their linked lips, but didn't care.

He pulled back and Bloom helped him lay down on the floor again, he smiled at the red angel standing over him, with his last strength he caressed her cheeks.

"I love you."
