Chapter 3: The Trix have a Growth Spurt

While the rangers were fighting Crabcake on Earth, their friends, the Winx Club, were relaxing in a café in the city of Magix (which was also the name of the planet) in the Magical Dimension.

Over the past year, the Winx had defeated a villain named Dark'ar, who had tried to take over the universe. He had actually managed to turn Bloom (the Winx Club leader and fairy of the Dragon Flame) evil at one point. But her boyfriend, Prince Sky of Eraklyon, was the main person that helped to win her back. The Winx Club had also gained a new team member, Layla (fairy of tides) and had gained a new fairy transformation (Charmix). Now they were enjoying some well-deserved downtime.

"Let's head back to Alfea," Bloom said (Alfea School of Magic was where the Winx Club lived and attended school).

"Good idea," Techna, fairy of technology, said. "Now that we have some downtime, I want to go to the library and do some recreational reading."

"I want to surf the net for the latest fashions," Stella, fairy of the sun and moon, said.

"I'd rather surf the net for some music," Musa, fairy of music, said.

"I think I'll visit the greenhouse," Flora, fairy of nature, said.

"I'd rather just hang out with my new friends," Layla said.

The Winx left the café and went to the bus stop. While waiting for the bus, they saw three girls walking across the street, and recognized them. It was three evil sisters known as the Trix, from Cloud Tower School for Witches.

"The Trix!" Bloom said in astonishment.

"I thought they were imprisoned for helping Dark'ar," Musa said.

"They must have escaped," Layla said.

"Let's follow them and find out what they're up to," Bloom said.

The Winx followed the Trix to a deserted ally.

"This looks like the perfect place," Icy, the Trix leader said. "Portalus!"

A swirling, blue vortex of energy appeared and the Trix stepped through.

"A portal!" Bloom said. "Let's follow before it closes."

The Winx ran through the portal just before it closed.

The Trix arrived on Earth, just outside the town of Angel Grove, in time to see the Power Rangers destroy Crabcake. They then saw Rita stab her staff in the ground and saw a stream of energy heading toward Crabcake's remains.

"It looks like opportunity has come to greet us," Icy said. "Just follow my lead, sisters."

The Trix ran toward Crabcake's remains and pushed them out of the way. The energy struck the Trix and they grew giant.

"What!?" Rita said.

"The Trix?!" Jason said. "What are they doing here?"

"Who are the Trix?" Tommy asked.

"Long story, Tommy," Jason said. "I'll explain later."

"Rangers, with our new friend comes new power," Zordon, the rangers mentor said. "Use your flute, Tommy, and bring life to the Dragonzord. For when he combines with the mastodon, triceratops, and saber-toothed tiger, a new fighting machine will be at our disposal."

Tommy did so, and his defeated zord reactivated and stood up.

"All right!" Tommy said. "Aw, man, it's awesome."

Then the other three zords came.

"Look, they're coming together," Jason said.

The four zords combined together to form a giant, humanoid robot with a dragon hood and a staff.

"Rangers, I give you Dragonzord in Fighting Mode," Zordon said.

"Check it out!" Jason said.

All the rangers exclaimed in awe, then Jason said, "Morphinominal!"

"Jason," Zordon said. "You and Kimberly combine the tyrannosaurus and pterodactyl to unlock the Tyrannodactyl Megazord."

The two zords combined together to form a giant, humanoid robot with a T-rex hood.

"Jason," Billy said. "Are you sure we can defeat three giant witches with just two megazords?"

"We have to try," Jason replied.

The Dragonzord swung its staff at Icy, but she grabbed it, then flipped the megazord over her with magic enhanced strength.

"Staffs aren't working too well today," Billy said.

The Tyrannodactyl Megazord summoned a giant sword and swung it at the Trix, but they dodged the attack.

Icy turned toward the black-haired Trix, then said, "Stormy, zap 'em."

"With pleasure," Stormy replied. She zapped the megazord with a lightning bolt and it toppled over.

Just then, the Winx Club came through the portal.

Is it just me," Stella said. "Or have the Trix grown since we last saw them?"

"Yeah," Musa said. "They need to be taken down a peg.

"Winx Club, it is good to see you again," Zordon's voice came over the communicators that they had received from the rangers on their last adventure. "There will be time for introductions and greetings later. As you can see, the rangers need your help against the Trix. Take these Power Coins and use them to summon your new Charmix zords."

A Power Coin appeared in front of each one of the Winx.

"Wait," Bloom said. "How did you-"

"There will be time for explanations later. Right now, the rangers need your help."

"Let's do it, girls," Bloom said. "Magic Winx, Charmix!"

The three girls transformed into fairies.

"Let's try out our new zords," Techna said.

"Just follow our lead, Layla," Bloom said.

Stella: "Light Charmix zord!"

Flora: "Nature Charmix zord!"

Techna: "Technology Charmix zord!"

Musa: "Music Charmix zord!"

Layla: "Tide Charmix zord!"

Bloom: "Fire Charmix zord! What? Nothing happened."

"Bloom," Zordon said. "You now have the Dragon Flame zord."

"How did-" Bloom started to say.

"He'll explain later," Stella said, rolling her eyes."

Bloom: "Dragon Flame Charmix zord!"

Each of the Winx's zords looked like a giant, robotic fairy, except for Bloom's, which looked like a robotic dragon wreathed in flame.

"This is awesome!" Layla said.

"You haven't seen anything yet," Techna said. "Push the red button."

Layla and the rest of the Winx pushed the red button in each of their zords. The zords came together to form an even bigger robotic fairy with dragon wings.

"Wow!" Layla said. "What do you call this thing?"

"This is the Charmix Megazord," Zordon said.

"Let's get in there and help the rangers, Winx," Bloom said.

The Winx's megazord ran toward the fight. The third Trix, Darcy, hit the rangers' two megazords with a blast of dark energy (which looked like purple energy),toppling them.

"Jason, our megazords can't take another hit like that," Billy said.

"Then, maybe we should lend you a hand," Bloom's voice came over the rangers' communicators. The Charmix Megazord caught the Trix by surprise and knocked them down with its arm.

"Winx, is that you?" Jason said.

"You know it," Musa replied.

"Awesome," Jason said. "All right, rangers and Winx, let's take these witches down!"

"No!" Icy said. "Not now!"

"Winx, when our megazords would engage two of the Trix, the third one would usually do something about it," Jason said. "So now, it's three on three. Kimberly, you and I will get Darcy. Winx, you take Stormy. Tommy, you and the others take on Icy."

"Got it," Tommy said.

"No problem," Bloom said.

"All right then," Jason said. "Let's do this!"

The Tyrannodactyl Megazord ran toward Darcy. She fired several balls of dark energy, but the megazord dodged every one. The megazord then swept her legs out from under her with its own leg. Then it slashed her with its sword. The witch screamed in pain, then shrank down to normal size.

The Charmix Megazord was caught in a tornado created by Stormy. The megazord fired a pink magic energy beam from its hand, which struck Stormy, causing her to lose concentration. The tornado dissipated and the megazord landed safely on the ground.

"Let's finish her, Winx!" Bloom said.

The Winx Club put their hands on special panels inside the megazord cockpit and charged them with magic energy. Then a panel opened up on the megazord's chest and a giant pink magic energy beam fired.

"Charmix Megazord, convergence, final strike!" The Winx said together.

The beam struck Stormy and she shrunk down to normal size.

The Dragonzord swung its staff at Icy again, and once again she grabbed it. But this time, the Dragonzord kicked her back. She lost her grip on the staff and stumbled back. This time, the Dragonzord was able to slash Icy three times. She screamed in pain, then shrank down to normal size like her sisters. Then, before the Power Rangers or Winx Club could act, the Trix teleported away. It was only then, the rangers noticed that Rita was gone too.

*

Rita sat on her throne in her moon base, her faithful servant, Goldar, stood by her side. Before her stood the Trix.

"Let me get this straight," Rita said. "You helped the rangers and those fairies defeat me last year, and now, you want me to help you get the Power Coins? Why should I do that?"

"Because," Icy said. "Have you ever heard of the Dragon Flame?"

*

"Why should we work with Rita?" Stormy asked, furious.

After getting Rita to accept their help, by promising her the Dragon Flame, the Trix were now in the privacy of a room Rita was letting them stay in.

Stormy went on, "And why would you promise her the Dragon Flame?"

"I agree with Stormy," Darcy said. "Did you forget about last year, when Rita took over the Magical Dimension in the future and killed all the witches. So, now I ask, 'why?'"

"Because," Icy said. "Have you ever heard of the Power Dragon?"
