A new problem & a new world!
Chapter 5: a mission to earth!
It had been four days since the Guardians, Matt and Caleb had attended the two different schools they had learned a lot of things like how to battle against stronger enemies, the different kinds of magic and how they can effect a fairy plus how to make your powers increase by the power of your team or group; this made all the Guardians think about their battles back in Meridian and why some things didn't go according to plan. Caleb and Matt learned this too but it hadn't made sense unless they were in battle which was soon coming true.
Today all the Guardians and the winx sat outside the school grounds none of the winx spoke one word since they were called late last night to the principles office about something important and when they returned each girl went to their room confused and angered they hardly spoke to the Guardians. Although outside they did moan at on another which was something new to the Guardians as they always looked so loving towards each other.
They sat in a park like area, Stella, Tecna and Taranee sat on the bench, Musa, Hay-Lin and Irma leaned against one of the trees next to the bench as for Bloom, Flora, Will and Cornelia they sat on the ground well Bloom lay on Flora's lap on the ground staring up at the sky. The whole time each Guardian looked at the winx they noticed not one looked at each other nor did they look at the Guardians.
Musa had her hands in her pocket of her jeans and frowned at the sky, Tecna kept looking around the grounds well doing something with her mini computer, Stella could careless as she threw her arms behind her head looking at other girls around the grounds, Flora ran her hand on Bloom's head like in a mothering-way as if she needed comfort, Bloom looked upset as her face showed it clearly. Finally Irma broke the tense silence that surrounded them.
"ok would one of you girls say something about what happen last night already!" she complained the four winx turned to face her but B. kept looking up at the sky, again silence took over but this time Musa said "looks like we having war all over again"
This made no sense to the Guardians as they stared at her confused what did she mean by that; "what do mean?" Cornelia asked
Stella looked down at Bloom saying "I'm telling you that if this turns into a battle for Magix like last year, they are not going to last but I'm more worried about you" pointing from the Guardians then to Bloom who sat up looking at the group.
"I know and this wasn't supposed to happen on our second year, plus the way things are going is making me think about my parent" Bloom said in a sad kinda tone which did not go unnoticed by the others.
"Which ones, your birth parents or your earth parents?" Flora asked
"Both" was all Bloom replied
This was strange to the Guardians, like who had two different parents and what was really disturbing the winx to make them look at the sky and the school grounds? So Will decided enough was enough they need to be filled in on what was up with their room mates.
"Would someone please tell us why everyone is so up tight?" Will finally asked tired of the secret talk about battle and enemies. All the girls sighed then each girl told them what happened last night;
Flash back….
The winx had been called to their headmistress office about something important so they went and now they stood in Ms. Faragonda's office in silence then when the old woman turned in her chair facing the winx she spoke"Girls we have a big problem and this may affect the new girls sleeping in your dorm"
"Ma'am what could be the problem?" Stella asked standing next to Bloom and Musa, with Tecna and Flora on the sides;
"the Trix had escaped out of Light rock and most likely have three other people with them as we sensed 6 strong powers, and I know the Trix will only want revenge on you girls" she replied
"But logically that prison is unbreakable" Tecna exclaimed in shock well all the girls were.
"True but somehow they got out and sadly they might come for the Dragon's flame to finish off what they started destroying Magix beginning with you Bloom" she said pointing to B. the whole time
Bloom's face went pale with fear and anger, she slammed both hands on the head Mistress table saying "but I just got them back and how will this effect Will and them we are already helping them to find a way home and all!"
"I understand this but you must understand that, but if Will or that jewel is parted from the others they are helpless as she helps transforms and gives them their full power so it is up to you girls to protect each girl plus yourselves" she said sitting back in her chair pushing her glasses up her noise.
"So they are powerless if Will doesn't transform them but is the enemy going to try split them up just to get that crystal?" Musa asked
"They might so it's up to you winx to protect them at all costs" was all Ms. Faragonda said before everyone went back to their dorm they shared with the Guardians.
End of flashback….
The Guardians could hardly believe their ears that the enemy that the winx are referring to is after the Heart and it was up to the winx to protect them like they hadn't had enough on their plat. "But that's not the worst part" Bloom said which got everyone to look at her confused
"What could be worst then you girls babysitting us?" Irma asked scared to find out
"sorry but I'm no babysitter none of us are, plus I don't think you girls need protecting as you have powers now let Bloom finish" Stella stood up and yelled out at the Guardians this made them shut up so Bloom could talk again.
"Ok Stell. you made your point but now I have to tell them what I found" Bloom said standing up Then turned to her side crossing her arms then spoke again "the reason you can't open portals anymore is cause the Seal of Phobos whatever that is, had lost the power to open them"
"What do you mean lost its power?" Cornelia said standing up followed by Will then all girls looked at her but Bloom still stood on her side not looking at them.
"In other words when you defeated that guy, the Seal lost its power too they connected somehow" Bloom replied; the Guardians now stood in shock, how could this happen? How could Ms. Lin or Caleb fail to tell them this? They looked at one another then looked at the winx which walked up to Will and Cornelia confused too but B. said nothing after this and just took one look at the girls then looked back at the sky.
"Why did you not inform us about this before telling them?" Tecna asked
"I guess sometimes I like to do things differently" Bloom replied looking at Tecna that stood next to Hay-Lin and Taranee; "well at least we found out why they can't get home" Flora said trying to back up Bloom.
"whatever, next problem how do we tell our parents we stuck on another planet, I bet we on the lost and found posters around the city" Taranee said which made everyone think hard about this new problem, but they were disturbed when a girl with short orange hair touching her shoulders, she had a green T-shirt, brown pants and pare a runners; they recognized her from one of their classes.
She stopped in front of the winx and Guardians saying "Ms. Faragonda wants all of you in her office like now!" they she ran off towards two other girls which hooked arms with hers then walked away, the Winx looked at each other with confused faces then ran off which the Guardians followed a few minutes later they stood in front of two large doors which Bloom opened pocking her head inside.
"you wanted to see us?" she asked then walked in followed by the others, the Guardians never been in this office before so it was like really cool to be in, the head Mistress turned around in her seat folding her arms on her desk then frowned at the girls.
Will and them thought they were in trouble but the winx stood there like they knew what she was going to say, Will noticed Bloom had that worry in her eyes which made the other winx nerves in this group if something was not right they all got worried causing their brave leader to try hard to find out the problem as soon as possible like how she found out about the heart.
"Girls I know you under lots of pressure but I think you know full well that these girls' parents plus the boy's parents are worrying, so I would like you to do something about it" the headmistress said firmly
"Caleb comes from another planet so he has no parents plus he stays with Hay-Lin and her family for now" Cornelia informed them
"And the other boy?" she asked raising her eyebrow at the Guardians
"Um…he stays on earth so he's parents would worry about him" Will said nerves.
"Bloom, you know earth well and your parent know of your powers so you girls can travel to earth to inform them they are fine, I know you will find a way" Faragonda said getting up walking in front of her desk.
"But ma'am what if something should go wrong, we haven't learned any new spells plus what if the enemy attacks us there. I really don't want to go through that again" Bloom said looking down.
Stella and Flora put their hands on her shoulders comforting her, Will started to put the pieces of the strange story that caused the war last year at this school together, with information from T. and M. about the whole Magix thing, Cornelia and Taranee were figuring it out too. But Hay-Lin and Irma only went over about what B. said what if something bad happen but how did her parents know she was magical? And why was B. so worried it's not like earth was a dangerous place.
"What if the guys came along, you know to make sure we ok and everything" Hay-Lin suggested with a grin on her face, the old woman thought about it then shook her head saying "no, you girls need to do this alone plus the young men are training for the battle to come which you girls will too when you return"
The Guardians felt bad that the guys couldn't come with but at least they could see their parents again but they knew that they would come back to help defeat this enemy with the others but what worried Will was what would they tell their parents? Plus would Bloom come up with something that their parents would buy. The winx walked out the office with the Guardians then made their way to the dorm room.
When they got in the room each girl grabbed their bags with some cloths, Irma and Will looked up to see Bloom throw her cloths from her closet into her bag, Flora packed hers neatly; Taranee and Hay-Lin could see Tecna and Musa packing their cloths and some other things like CD's and mini computers. Stella used her magic to pack itself the best thing the girls had seen in a long time.
Will hoped that she would learn that so she could pack her cloths and stuff away before her mom yelled at her for not tiding her room; once everyone was done packing they stood in the middle of the lounge even Kiko was coming then Bloom told Stella to teleport them to earth in the park for what reason the Guardians weren't sure but the winx held their bags and Bloom held Kiko too.
Then when Stella took her ring off and changed it into a scepter which Hay-Lin said "wow" the winx laughed then Stella made it hit the ground and just like that the group vanished into thin air.
[Earth!]
The next thing the group knew, they stood in the middle of an empty park. They felt the nice warm sun on them and the sound of cars driving by; the place where the Guardians knew so well earth their home planet.
Bloom lead the girls out the park with Stella by her side, when they reached the streets of the city it took Will, Cornelia, Taranee, Hay-Lin, Irma, Musa, Flora and Tecna a minute to check the new place they stood in; Bloom and Stella turned half way then Bloom said "welcome to Gardenia guys"
"Gardenia?" they repeated confused and amazement.
"This is your home town? It's cute" Hay-Lin said
"uh…thanks I guess oh and please try act normal no one knows anything about magic here ok" Bloom said looking straight at Stella for some reason; "oh so transforming counts" Stella said changing her ring back to normal.
Bloom and the Guardians slapped their foreheads, then Bloom said "lets just go" giving up on Stella who clearly didn't live on a planet with no magic; when they pasted building after building the Guardians felt more at home. The cars were riding around the place for work or something, people and couples laughed, talked to each other.
They kept walking on and with each step the Guardians started to think of Heatherfield, when they reached a building that looked a lot like Will's which made her miss her mom and her dormouse again. Bloom took a key from her pocket of her mini skirt then opened the door, she stood in the middle of the hall way which laid up stairs, the Kitchen and the lounge then they all dropped their bags and looked at the place.
It was almost like being back home in Will's home; it had a normal looking lounge, a old fashion but normal kind of kitchen, now they knew why Bloom's room looked much normal looking then out of the world like the other winx.
They looked at the time on the kitchen wall reading 5:00 P.M. they couldn't believe it was so late but then realized that they left Alfea at 3:00 P.M. cause they spent all morning sitting around the park thinking of the up coming battle then going to Ms. Faragonda then packed their cloths they needed.
They went and sat in the lounge in silence still looking around the place until Irma broke the silence again "you know this place looks a lot like Will's"
"So what do your parents do?" Taranee asked
"Um…mom owns a flower shop and sometimes when I come home I help out there, dad works at the fire station I see him ridding around town when riding my bike" Bloom said with a big smile on her face looking at the group.
"What are their names?" Cornelia asked
"Vanessa and Mike they pretty cool" Stella answered this time giving Bloom an elbow in the side; they sat on a two setter couch across from Will, Cornelia and Hay-Lin on the three setter. Well Taranee, Tecna, Musa and Flora sat around the floor on pillows.
Suddenly the front door opened and they all got up, they saw a young lady with short brown hair, blue pants and top with an apron on her, with high hill sandals; the woman turned to see them and saw Bloom who ran up to her then hugged her which she returned hen both pulled apart.
"Bloom it's so wonderful to see you again and Stella but School holidays aren't till next week" the woman said giving Stella a wave who returned, the group walked up to the women.
"I'll explain everything at dinner, oh and these are my friends Musa, Tecna, Flora, Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay-Lin but you know Stella already." Bloom said
"Nice to meet you girls, I'm so glad Bloom has made lots of friends" the woman said
"What you mean?" Will asked
"in Gardenia high she didn't have to many friends but I guess Alfea changed that huh honey and I think I'll order dinner tonight as I'm to tired to do anything and Bloom's not the greatest cook" the lady replied which made Bloom look sheepish.
Irma and Hay-Lin giggled at this Cornelia, Taranee and Will gave her a funny smile the winx gave her a wondering why face but they remembered how she made an omelet land on the ceiling fan and the chef got pretty mad at the girls.
"Can we have pizza?" Bloom asked giving her mom that pretty please look, which Will, Irma and Taranee gave their parent who said no most of the times; but Bloom's mom gave in saying "sure and I'll let your father know you came home with friends" she walked into the kitchen phoning Bloom's dad on the cordless phone.
Everyone liked Vanessa already even if they only met her five minutes; they went to Bloom's room placing their bags on her floor, it was small but tidy almost like the Guardians well not like Cornelia's as she was rich and that's what Stella and her had in common plus both were blond and liked gossiping and getting the latest fashion cloths in the stores.
But the others found Bloom's room was much like hers in Alfea; Irma, Will, Taranee and Cornelia sat on her bed but Hay-Lin looks at the pictures on her desks across her room, even if she wasn't rich Bloom had good things to draw. Flora and Musa sat on her window sill which was like a couch next to her window which showed a look of the town. Tecna sat on the desk chair and Stella and Bloom were talking quietly by the door.
Whenever those to were talking alone it meant they were coming up with a plan, Will and Caleb did that a lot then told the others of the plan. They looked so close almost like sisters from different planet; Bloom frowned at Stella who shook her head but before they could argue or talk more Vanessa's voice rang "honey your dad's home"
At that Bloom flew out the room down the stairs which everyone who walked down as saw Bloom hugging her dad who kissed her on her for head but when he spotted Stella he sighed.
"Hey Mr. B. how's it going?" Stella said standing next to bloom and the others behind them waving with big smiles on their faces; if the Guardians worried about meeting Vanessa they sure were more nervous with Bloom's dad as he seemed like a tough guy but in fact he was just as kind as Vanessa.
"daddy these are the other winx Tecna, Flora, Musa and these are our new friends Will, Taranee, Irma, Hay-Lin and Irma they call themselves Guardians but they not fairies exactly they just look like them" Bloom said in a sweet voice which her dad smiled greeting them and this made the Guardian less nervous.
"So you going to fill me in on what's happen" he said to Bloom who nodded telling him well they would eat.
The Pizza came with soda's, then everyone sat in silence watch Bloom explain the whole story and what lesions they learned, when she told them how they two groups fought one another in the air, she was holding her pizza and making it look like a airplane which the guardians giggled so did the winx but the two parents held each others hands on the table smiling at their daughter. She also told them about Caleb and Matt too.
Will, Irma, Taranee and Cornelia could be as open as Bloom about her powers and other things but Hay-Lin had Ms. Lin [her grandmother] to tell about the power things as she was once a Guardian and she was the one who explained the whole Guardian thing to them.
"Sounds like you having fun but are you passing your tests?" Mike asked which Bloom smiled nodding and to the Guardians agreed that Alfea's tests were way much better then Sherfield. Stella and the other winx told them that Bloom was not only getting better with her magic but she was a good leader.
This made them smile then Vanessa got up collecting the plats saying "Bloom sweetie give me a hand with the dishes" Bloom got up and helped with the dirty dishes and placed them on the counter whispering something to her mom who looked shocked and concerned.
"Girls can I have a word alone with Bloom?" Vanessa asked which everyone got up heading to B's room then closed the door. The winx started to unpack their cloths search for their night cloths; well Will asked for Hay-Lin to listen to what was happening down stairs; they all knew it was wrong to listen to other peoples conversations but not only did the Guardians wait to hear what Hay-Lin heard the winx did the same.
[Down stairs…]
Bloom stood in the kitchen washing the dishes well her dad drank coffee and her mom tidied the kitchen; "mom, dad there's more to the story that I left out" Bloom said picking a dish up turning it side ways looking at her reflection even though she couldn't see the confused faces her parents gave her, she could feel it.
"What do you mean?" her dad asked holding his cup of coffee by the handle on the table; Vanessa stopped wiping the counters to stare at their daughter.
"The Guardians and the two guys have a problem with a crystal called The Heart of Kandracar; it absorbed something called The Seal of Phobos. When they defeated this Phobos guy they lost the ability to open portals to lead them home and that not all our old enemies the Trix escaped with three other people too" Bloom explained which left her parents shocked
"We came to earth to find a place Called Heatherfield, which is were they are from but we don't know were it is and I was hoping you would know?" Bloom asked
Mike got up and went to the book shelf looking for a book which both Bloom and Vanessa looked confused but before Bloom could ask her dad laid the book down the kitchen table flipping through the pages till he found the place [book's name is Atlas Maps] Bloom looked at the book and noticed it was only two towns away from Gardenia, Bloom Smiled at her parents closing the book.
"thanks dad this helps us a lot this means a lot too me" Bloom said giving her parents a hug then finished the dishes well her parents went to bed, Bloom made her way to her bed room with the book in her hands, she opened her door and noticed everyone sitting around the room doing something, she knew they listened to what was happening but played along anyways by walking in her room closing the door then head to her desks to make a map.
By the time she finished the map everyone was fast asleep, Bloom went to bed knowing she had drawn the map, got extra money for the trip down to Heatherfield and was sure that she could take on the Trix and the new Enemy that joined them but knowing that it took all the Winx to protect the Guardians was another challenge one that had to have a lot of trust in it.
To be continued…
