Chapter 17: We are Ready.
Nabu's POV:
"NOOO!" I turn to see Anna exclaim with dread in her eyes.
The light dissipated from the girls and I could see all of them in their Bloomix transformations.
"Wait what's going on? Why haven't we transformed? Why are we still in our Bloomix transformations?" Bloom asks looking stunned.
"It works. Your necklaces work." Lord Fred smiled while trying to pet Anna on her head.
"HOW COULD YOU NAME IT PALLADIX?" Anna screamed.
"What happened?" Layla asks surprised by Anna's outburst.
"Why can't we transform?"Musa asks ignoring the outburst.
"You can't transform because of you necklaces that you are wearing. It controls the amount of power you exude." Uhira-sama explains.
"The how do we transform into our Palladix transformation?" Stella asks.
"Stop calling it PALLADIX." Ana retorts.
"Wow. Blondie is as stupid as she seems." Lady Demon starts. "Anyone want to give us the right answer?"
"The chains are to make sure we don't use our full power, once our Bloomix powers are maxed out, we will be able to transform into our new transformations." Tecna ansers.
"Seems like one of you has half a brain." Lady demon replies.
"ummm so?" Sky questions.
"SO all of you have proven that you are stupid. So we will take you back home and leave you there so we can finally get rid of you imbeciles." Ahh the Lady Demon.
"Come on lets go. She seems very annoyed." Lady Anna tells us nicely.
The girls are all in their normal clothes again.
"We are going home." Layla whispers.
Her eye catches mine and she gave me a small smile. All the girls walked over to us and we followed Anna. The tension and joy filled the atmosphere, it was nerve wracking. All the teachers walked ahead talking to each other in a serious tone while the second in commands walked behind us.
"How cool are the new weapons?" Riven asked grinning like a fool.
"I wanted schnookums to see my new transformation." Stella whines.
"We have to hurry to save our home and schools." Bloom calls out from ahead and we all start walking faster.
The ship was parked close by, it was not navy blue. We went in to see that our entire luggage was already in place with a few extra suitcases.
"The extra is a little gift from all of us, something personal." Tsar Vlad spoke up from the control panel.
"All of you get in quick, or do you not want to save your homes?" Grumbled Lady Demon.
"Yes we do." Riven replies quickly, scared.
Then doors of the ship closed and we took off. All the second in commands stood near the door while all our teachers stood near the control panel. Stella and Brandon were having a conversation with Bloom and Sky, Timmy and Tecna were with the teachers near the control panel, Musa and Riven were talking to Helia and Flora. Layla was pulling me up to them.
"It's about time I told you what's going on in Magix" Anna told us.
"Finally" I whispered.
"The twelve of them have their own powers and strengths, I have told you were they are from and what their main style of fighting is. The first thing you should do is kill their healers. That's the best way to stop them from getting stronger."
"Kill them?" Bloom asks astounded.
"Fine don't kill them, capture them for us."
"What must we do?" My beautiful and smart fiancée asks.
"It doesn't matter how you fight, you must work together. If you are left alone then they will tear you apart. It is not easy fighting them but it not that hard right now either, work together and have each other's back. That is the most important thing for you right now." Anna states. "Magix is safe, but your schools are destroyed."
"WHAT?" Stella shrieks almost blowing my eardrums off.
How the schools could be destroyed. I hadn't gone there for a long time and in truth I joined only for Layla. But I have had fun there and it had taught me a lot of things that I could not have learned anywhere else. I made bonds of friendship there that can never be broken. I felt sad about it.
"Don't shriek" Lady demon commands.
"The Slayers attacked Magix and to defend the cities the students left the schools alone. That was when the schools got destroyed by three witches named Icy, Darcy and Stormy who are helping the slayers out. Cloud tower is under their power, you home planets are safe. It seems like the slayers are waiting for you guys to show up to start destroying everything." Anna elucidates.
"I feel sad about our schools." Brandon solemnly states.
"Schools can be rebuilt but lives can't. be happy students and teachers are alive." Raja Pratap speaks out in a grave voice.
What he said makes sense. We could build a new school, Red Fountain has done it before.
"When we land, we will drop you off at Alfea. That is where all the Slayers have settled and that is where you shall battle as well." Lord Fred states.
"We will be reaching in a few minutes." Tecna calls out from the control panel.
"We will not leave you guys alone." Lady Aria says in a low voice.
"Actually we need to head back, a few of us can stay but the rest need to go back." Lady demon continues.
"Anna and Alex will stay, this is your fight and you have trained for it." Lord Fred looks around at us.
"Show them that they cannot take over your planet." Tsar Vlad states.
"Protect it." Raja Pratap commands.
"Make us proud, make your people, your friends, your parents and your teachers proud." Uhira-sama finishes.
I could feel the ship landing, taking my stomach with it.
"Go fight, be victorious." Anna whispers resounding in our body, like a chant, a prayer.
The doors of the ship opens. I could feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins. I was freaking out now. I gripped Layla's hand harder as mine were trembling. She looked at me, fear and courage mixed in her eyes.
"We have survived till now, we can survive this too." She tells me and smiles.
With the image of her dazzling smile imprinted in my head, I walk out of the ship confidently to the deadly fight awaiting us.
