Sabotage Solaria: Bloom
2 WEEKS LATER…
AT A ROYAL MEETING…
ON ERAKLYON…
(NO P.O.V.)
Magix New Channel Playing…
"This just in, another kingdom has been struck-" (Flips Channel)
"Tons of civilians fled from the scene-" (Flips Channel)
"Kings and Queens take cover for Magix newest villains who you thought were your heroes-" (Flips Channel.)
"Rumor has it that the two fairies are secretly sleeping with Callister, while being under his control-" (Flips Channel)
"Stats show, a majority of civilians were injured and have first degree burns-" (Flips Channel)
"Minor cities have been flooded over- (Flips Channel)
"Talk has come up that Queen Marion and Mya are secretly working with Callister-" (Flips Channel)
"Some say that Magix is plunging back to its infamous dark times-" (Turns Off Broadcast)
The ball room goes into an eerie silence as Erendor takes a remote and turns off the mega hologram that covers a whole wall. All the royals sit in a giant circle, still dazed from the news.
Since Eraklyon was taken over by Jasmin, so many other kingdoms have been overruled. Linphea, Leahi, Vega, Zenith, Melody, and Oppositus. Everyone is living in fear that their kingdom could be next.
The princes and princesses were not allowed to attend this meeting, to protect their castles from being invaded. That and so the kings and queens could discuss old Magix secrets that their children must not know about.
"These girls have gotten way out hand." Erendor's voice booms in the ballroom. "Not only are they giving control of our kingdoms to that wizard, but are harming innocent citizens just to do it."
"Hold on, Erendor." Marion stands up and walk towards Erendor. "Me and Mya went through the same thing back when we were all young and you know those girls are under his spell and have no choice but to listen to him."
"Well I surely don't remember towns flooding and people burning when you guys went rouge!" Erendor retorts back at her. "It seems Callister has really pumped up the stakes with kidnapping this time around."
"Exactly! Whatever he did different in that spell probably made them more violent that we were. You seriously can't blame the girls for this. They're heroes-"
"They are villains!" The room suddenly comes to an uproar. Royal arguing back and forth about if Bloom and Jasmin are guilty or not.
All of a sudden, Magix police officers bust through the ballroom doors with blasters pointing at everyone.
"All of you freeze!" The main guard yells, silencing the royals. "Where is Queen Marion and Mya?"
"Why are you looking for them?" Thomas not stands up from his seat and stands in front of Mya who was still sitting down, ignoring all the drama. Oritel quickly follows suit.
The main guard ignores Thomas and looks back at the rest of the officers. With a nod of the head, they begin to move towards the two queens, but are stopped by their husbands.
"Tell us why you want them." Oritel asks the guard in front of him.
"That is Magix confidential information sir." The guard quickly replies.
"It should be confidential on why the Magix Court all of a sudden wants to arrest our wives." Thomas says.
"If you don't step out of the way, I'll have them use force." The main guard walks to the center of the room.
"Is that a threat?" Oritel asks.
"Your Choice." The main guard says slyly with a smirk.
"Well it's gonna have to be a treat because you're not getting anywhere near our wives." Thomas sharply bites back.
The guard looks back and forth between the two steaming husbands. He then laughs getting strange looks from the royals, but menacing looks from Thomas and Oritel.
"Take them." As soon as those words left the main guards mouth, the rest of the officers start to grab on Thomas and Oritel moving them away from their wives. Oritel and Thomas push the officers back and fights break out. Fists are flying, queens are screaming and the officers are getting more and more violent. More officers bust through the doors and begin shooting the blasters towards the ceiling.
The ballroom freezes in an instant mid-fight.
"My ceiling." Erendor says as he stares blankly at the gaping hole in the ballroom ceiling.
The officers come in with more blasters and two of them walk up and point them at King Oritel and Thomas.
"Step away from the officers." One of them says. Thomas and Oritel drop the two officers on the floor and raised their hands. "And step away from the two queens."
"Why don't you tell us why, and maybe we'll do that." Thomas snapped at the guard.
"Fine." The guard complied. "They're under suspicion for working with Callister in recent attacks on kingdoms. We must take them down to the MCP station for questioning."
All the royals turn their heads towards Marion and Mya. The guards walk up and begin to drag Marion and Mya away.
"This is ridiculous why would we work with him if we banished him decades ago." Marion gets out as she is pulled away and handcuffed.
"That's what we're about to figure out at the station." A guard tells her.
"Once you see we're innocent, you'll look stupid." Mya says as she walks out the door.
"Yeah, yeah we'll see." The guard pulls her through the door. "Come on."
The two queens look back at their husbands one last time before walking on to the ship.
CALLISTER'S LAYER…
Callister, Bloom and Jasmin all crack up laughing at the sight of their mothers being arrested in the crystal ball.
"That is a sight I'll never get tired of." Callister says as he gets up from his chair, takes the crystal ball, and begins to walk to his office.
"Are you implying that they've been arrested before?" Jasmin asks curiously as her and Bloom get up and follow him.
"That is exactly what I am saying." Callister opens his office doors and walks over to his chair. Bloom and Jasmin take a seat in front of his desk.
"When was that?" Bloom asks. Callister grabs paper out of his drawer and plops them on the table. He then puts the crystal ball in the middle of the table.
"When I first kidnapped them. They escaped and went to their little crew. Magix Police caught Mya first, then she escaped before they got to the station. Then, Mya and Marion ended up getting caught together and going to jail that time." Callister slowly looks through the papers then back up at the girls who look deep in thought. "What is it?"
"Who was their crew back then?" Jasmin asks.
"Their husbands, Queen Samara and Queen Lisa and King Erendor and King Lance." Callister looks back through the papers.
"They all worked together. They all seem so distant now." Bloom sits up straight in her chair surprised.
"They grew up. They are busy Kings and Queens, soon to be my servants." Callister says with a smirk as he sets down the papers. "Now you" He points at Bloom. "need to get ready for your next mission"
"Ugh." Blooms drags out with a sigh. "But I have like literally no energy. You barely feed us."
"I do to feed you. I give you those protein shakes all the time and I give Jasmin a jug of water to drink throughout the day. "Callister says pointing at the gallon of water Jasmin is drinking on through a bendy straw. "See."
"That's not food though. I want real food. Jasmin needs it too. I know she's a water fairy and all, but she can't live off it." Bloom stand up and makes gestures towards Jasmin.
"Actually, anyone who possesses the power of the water stars gets their energy and power from water. Also meaning they can live off of water only if needed." Callister shouts back.
"She needs more than water though. Have you seen how much weight she is losing? She was already skinny before, look how she is now." Bloom says now whispering so Jasmin cannot hear. "It's dangerous."
"Have you seen the rest of her family? They are all very thin people. Her, Mya, Aaliyah, her Aunt. They are a very skinny family. So, she's is losing some weight, it's natural." Callister whispers back.
"She's practically a skeleton. You just haven't seen her stomach. Her ribs are almost visible. Her arms are boney and she is losing her figure." Bloom looks back at Jasmin who is quickly dinking up her water. "Feed her."
"Later. You need to prepare for your mission." Callister sits back down and motions for Bloom to take her seat.
"Fine." Blooms sits down in a huff, crossing her arms. "Where am I going?"
Callister circles his hands around the crystal ball until a bright light shines out of it. Bloom and Jasmin shield their eyes and lean back in their chairs. When the light disappears an image of Stella walking through the castle by herself with a swarm of guards following her shows up.
"I-I have to go to Solaria." Bloom stutters over her words.
"Uh…Yeah." Callister looks at Bloom as is he didn't know why she was asking. "If you haven't noticed I've been sending you both to castles depending on who knows it better. Jasmin has never stepped foot into the Solarian castle. So, you are going. Understand."
"But-"
"No buts. You're going." Callister picks out a fresh contract and slides it in front of Bloom. "Although, before you go, I need Jasmin to teach you something really quick." Jasmin stops drinking her water and looks at Callister.
"Today is my off day. I want to sleep in. Sorry. Got plans." Jasmin quickly gets up and starts to walk toward the door, leaving to her room.
"Stop!" Callister yells at her. Jasmin stops in her tracks as she was about to touch the doorknob. "Sit back down." She walks back and flops down in the chair.
"What do I have to do?" She asks in a monotone voice with a blank face.
"When you two first met, I noticed that you and your friends told the Winx about a…um… powerhouse spell. I want you to teach Bloom hers before she goes to Solaria." Callister asks standing up, taking the crystal ball with him. "It could be very vital to this mission. Solaria is swarming with guards. They won't let Bloom get close to Stella. Radius is at the meeting and will probably be there for a little bit longer." He opens the door and walks out of his office. "So, Jasmin I suggest you get started."
"But that was taught to us over a week. How am I supposed to do that in an hour?" Bloom and Jasmin stands up and follows him out.
"Well go to the back and teacher in under thirty! I don't care how you do it just go." Callister turns around and points towards the back door. He takes Jasmin's jug of water out of her hands and walks away.
"Well I guess you're learning your powerhouse spell. Let's go." Jasmin motions for Bloom to follow her to the back.
As they walk outside the sky is the same moody cloud color with prickly trees surrounding the hideout.
"So, when we were taught, a couple months ago, we had to really channel into what you want to happen. Total control." Jasmin walks to the opposite side of where Bloom is facing.
"What do you mean by total control?"
"I mean, you completely have control. You can make your dragon fire do whatever you want it to do." Jasmin tries to explain, but Bloom still looks confused.
"I can already do that though."
"Think of it as Aisha's morphix power, but with your power. You can think of exactly what you want to happen and your power will handle the rest for you."
"So Aisha can do hers anytime she wants or-"
"No. She can do more than what she shows."
"Okay so how do I do mine." Bloom puts her hands on her hips.
"Easy. What do you want to happen?" Jasmin uses magic and her water jug appears in her hands.
"I want to set this forest on fire." Bloom points out at the sharp branches blocking the path to leave the hideout area.
"Trying to leave are ya." Jasmin starts to sip her water and walks in a circle.
"Nah. Callister wouldn't let us." Bloom drops her arm to her side.
"We shouldn't need his permission anyway." Jasmin sits down in the dirt and crosses her legs. "He made us evil. Evil people don't answer to anyone. They break rules. They are their own person."
"Yet here we are being Callister's servants. The old fart is too old to fight anyway." Bloom and Jasmin hunch over cackling. "Okay, let's just get this mini lesson over with."
"Okay. You must put your power in control. Let it take over, but make sure it follows you're orders or it'll gain a mind of its own." Jasmin drinks more of her water. "The last thing you want is a mindless dragon spitting fire at anything."
Bloom turns and faces the forest. She kneels and sets her hands on the ground. She closes her eyes and lets the power flow through her. Swirls of fire begin to swirl down into the ground from her arms.
"Ahh!" Jasmin jumps up from the ground and grabs her butt. "It's hot! Move it towards the forest more!"
Bloom squints her eyes more and focuses all her energy on the forest. A bead of sweat drips down her forehead. Then, a large orange dragon flies from Bloom and goes high up in the sky. It plummets straight down and into the ground. A bright orange light can be seen shining from the dirt, moving rapidly all over the forest area. Once it stops, black smoke can be seen raising up from the trees.
"It's happening." Jasmin stops fanning her butt and gapes at the forest quickly rising into dark flames.
Bloom opens her eyes and looks up at the blazing forest in front her. Her stressed face soon turns into a sly one as she stands up and high fives Jasmin.
"I think you're about ready to go."
SAME TIME…
IN THE SOLARIAN CASTLE…
(STELLA'S P.O.V.)
"Oh no, oh no, oh no." I say to myself as I look down at my phone. Timmy and Dylan have been live streaming the bug in Callister's layer to all of us. They still haven't come forward with the Magix government, the royals, the council of elders or the goddesses. It's still our big little secret.
I open u the dial pad and get into a large conference call between the rest of the girls.
"Hello?" Flora is the first to respond.
"What do I do when she gets here? I don't want to fight her like the some of you did." I say in a panicked voice.
"Stella. You need to man up a little." Ava tries to give me encouraging advice, but it isn't working. "I had to fight Jasmin last week and let me tell you, it was the worst thing ever. I felt like I was just betraying my morals and way of life. It sucks believe me, but you just have to-"
"Ava!" Musa yells through the phone. "That might not be the best thing she needs to hear right now."
"Sorry."
"I just really don't know how to handle this again" I walk inside of my room and shut the tight. As soon as its closed, I can hear about 10 guards stomping in front of my room and staying close to the door. "She has been my friend for so long, and to know that she going to come here and attack me for a stupid autograph is overwhelming."
"It's a signature not a-"
"Same thing Tecna!" Tecna starts but is cutoff by Stella.
"Are your guards strong enough to capture her?" Emma asks.
"Not really. I hope she goes easy on them. I don't want them burned to a crisp."
"I'm sure there is a good piece in her somewhere still, so she won't do that. Hopefully." Bridget tries to lighten up my mood, but it isn't gonna cut it.
"I doubt it right now. Did you guys see the news this morning? Innocent people have something degree burns, I don't know! She probably won't care if she burns me for all we know."
"I don't think she'll do that. She still cares about you. Even under all that evil exterior." Emma tries to soothe me.
"Emma's right Stella. I mean you heard what Sky said. He knew Jasmin wouldn't hurt him all that bad." Aisha chimes in.
"Yeah. It's gonna be hard for Bloom to try and fight you."
"Caitlin, your words of encouragement are short lived. She had no problem trying to fight everyone else. I don't think I'm much different!"
"So Stella, you really want to avoid this whole confrontation with Bloom right?" Zoe asks.
"Yeah? Why."
"If you really don't want to have to fight her. Just easily sign the papers when she gets there."
"Zoe. I understand that you are extra clever and witty, but that's insane. I'll be signing over my kingdom without a fight. As if I don't care."
"Well yeah, but it won't matter anyway, right. Callister's whole contract probably has so many loops in it."
"What are you trying to say Zoe?"
"I'm saying, when Bloom gets there, take a quick picture of the contract and send it to me. I have an idea."
"How am I gonna do that? She'll know something is up if I just take out my phone and snap a picture."
"You'll find a distraction. Make sure you do it-"
"Aahhh!" Cries and screams cut off Zoe.
"Stella what was that?!" Flora asks in a panicked tone.
"Gotta go Flo. I think she's here." I hang up the phone, put it in my bra, and rush over to my window. I see people running all over the place, grabbing their children, and taking cover. I look up and I see Bloom in her fairy form in the air laughing at everyone. She then turns around and flies toward the castle.
"Alright okay I can do this." I turn away from my window and rush over to my door. I unlock it and step into the hallway where there dozens of guard swarming the hallway.
"Miss Stella. You are to go back in your room. Miss Bloom is here and we are to keep you lo-"
"Locked up until she gives up, blah blah blah. I know, but this might be the first place she looks. Isn't it better if I am in a less obvious place."
"Is it much too late to move you now Miss Stella. Please go back until she leaves."
"She is not gonna leave Solaria until he gets my autograph!"
"You mean signature Miss Ste-"
"Same thing!" I yell and storm back into my room and slam my door.
I pace back and forth thinking of what to do. I can hear shouts coming from the hallway. "Wow. She moves fast." I can hear the guards in the hallway grunting and yelling as they attempt to fight Bloom.
"Come on Stella think, think, think." I walk around my room until I come to stand in front of my closet. "Hmm." An idea pops in to my head as I walk in to my closet and shut the doors. As soon as I close my closet doors, I hear the room door creak open as Bloom walks in.
"Come on out Stella. I know you're here. All those guards would not have been around your room if you weren't."
Bloom walks around the room and searches everywhere. Under the bed, behind the curtains, and even in the bathroom.
"Where are you? Look I know you don't wanna fight me as much as I don't wanna fight you. So, If you just willingly sign this, I can go, and leave your people alone." Bloom continues to walk around until she stops in front of the closet. "But just remember. If you don't, I'll have to use force…and I know you're in the closet."
"Dangit." I say in my head. I look around my closet, but see no way of escape. I really didn't want to have to do this.
(BLOOM P.O.V.)
I patiently wait outside of Stella's closet hoping she'll just give up and sign the contract. Knowing her she'll probably think I want an autograph.
I hear shuffling in the closet and then a bright light shines through the creaks of the closet door. I hear the door unlock and I see the door slowly open.
Stella walks out in full fairy form with a determined look on her face.
"Hey ole best friend. How's life treating ya." I ask her with a smirk.
"Not so well."
"Didn't think so."
"Look Bloom, I know tha-"
"Oh please stop. That is not gonna work. Don't even try it. I came here for one thing and one thing only and that is to get you to sign this paper."
"I never sign that paper without putting up a good fight first."
"Well. Just so you know, you asked for it." I feel a surge of heat rush through my hands as I make her closet catch on fire."
"Aah! No, no, no!" She looks back at her burning clothes and gasps. "Ooh, that's it!" She begins to fly my way.
"Ah ah ah. Not so fast." I say as I form a circle of fire around myself. She halts in the air. "Not so brave now, huh Stella.
"BLINDING RAY!" She yells out and a bright light radiates from her. I turn away and cover my eyes from the light.
(STELLA P.O.V.)
I take my chance while Bloom is distracted to fly in and take the protruding contact I saw sticking out of her fairy boot.
"Thank you." When the paper is in my hands, I go over to my window and fly out. I fly far away from the palace, by the nearest city, and hide behind some trees.
"Whoo! I hope she doesn't find me here." I quickly take out my phone from my bra and open the rolled contract. I snap a picture of it on my phone and send it to the group chat me and the girls are in.
Suddenly I hear screams of people from the village I am hiding in.
"Where is she?!" I can hear Bloom yelling from the sky.
I turn around and blast her from behind. I quickly duck back under the shadow of the trees. I can see her fall out of the sky and land on her side.
"Stella, I know you have the contract. Just sign it while you have it now."
"I'll think about!" I say as I maneuver through the trees.
"I guess I'll think about some stuff too." Bloom rolls over and flies up. She thrust her hands down and sets a home on fire. The family runs out screaming. "What do you think about that? Hahaha! And guess what. It'll be more homes and families just like that the longer you take to sign and me that contract.
I wait behind the trees in hesitation as to what I should do next. As I am waiting, I hear another burst of power and two more houses catch on fire. The families scatter all over the place.
"Whatcha gonna do now Stella?" Bloom laughs from up above setting even more houses on fire. "Any longer and you'll regret making me wait.
"Do your worst!" I regret my words as soon as they leave my mouth. "Wait forget what I just said." I see Bloom flying down to the ground. She gets on one knee and bows her head. "Oh no! Bloom stop no!" I run from where I was hiding and dash over to Bloom. Before I get there, I huge dragon bursts from here and in the air. It then plunges into the ground. A bright orange light shines from the ground and moves towards the castle. "Bloom don't."
Once the orange light reaches the castle, I see a black smoke rise from the top. By the time I reach Bloom, the entire castle is brimming in flames.
"Bloom, stop the fire! Put it out now!"
"You know what you need to do to save your castle." Bloom stands up and puts her hands on her hips.
"B-B-But Bloom I-I can't and-"
"You KNOW what you have to do to save your castle right?" She repeats herself and stares me down. As we stand there she gets impatient and sets another two houses on fire.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll sign it." I quickly take out the contract and open my hand up. When a pen appears, I grab it and sign my autograph on the paper and hand it over. She snatches it out of my hand and sticks it back in her shoe. "Now put out the fire!"
"Uh. I don't think so." With that she took off to the sky.
"You said you would put it out if I sign." I fly up to her.
"Those word never came out of my mouth." Bloom pulls out a portal maker and activates it. "I said 'you know what you need to do to save your castle'. Completely different." Then she flies right through the portal and vanishes.
I slowly fall back down to my knees as I stare up at my burning castle. My home.
See ya later…
