Chapter Six: He's the enemy!

"Ugh twice in two days...I'm gonna kill someone and soon..." Muttered Musa as she lifted her head from the bonnet of a pink convertible that she had flown back into, the other girls were scattered around the place, gashes and cuts covering each of them, old wounds re-opening.

They all groaned and coughed as they slowly pulled themselves into sitting positions, they could hear the specialists shouting from across the lot and other peoples scream from the school as people filed out of its doors to see the giant commotion.

"Oh I don't want to deal with this! Who the hell is trying to kill us!?" Stella yelled as she slowly got up from the ground. She suddenly shot up as she spotted a person standing in the bushes a safe distance away from the car, she wouldn't have noticed or been suspicious if it hadn't been that he was covered in black and wearing a black mask.

"Car Bomber!" Stella yelled and started running; the others quickly got up and ran after her, weapons being pulled out as they went. The man dressed in black ran as they chased him in the forest. By the time any people got to the wreckage the man and Winx Club were already yards away.

The girls ignored their painful limbs and followed the man as he ran, he was no match for their speed and running skills and soon they were just a metre away from him, Layla being the closest and fastest leaped and tackled him.

Both people fell tumbling to the ground and started to brawl as the others caught up. The man seemed to be a skilled fighter and magic user, so it was slightly difficult for layla to fight him...but not six trained assassins.

The girls all swung to injure, not kill, the hooded man. At one point the man shot out his hand toward Stella and Bloom and sent them flying with a blast of heated water, they were swished back into a tree.

"Water? That's the best you've got?" Stella asked as Layla shot her a dirty look as she ducked a punch.

The man seemed very skilled in blocking and defending their weapons and shooting them with water as they were down, it was annoying but not unmanageable.

Getting frustrated with him the girls all charged at once, weapons swinging and sailing through the air. He backhanded Techna and Sprayed Bloom, Musa, Stella while kicking out at Layla.

Flora saw her chance and swung the chain she held and in one quick movement struck the man in the chest with the spiked ball on the end of the chain.

Everything went silent as he shrunk to the ground, black blood spilling out of him as he went, for the first time in a battle Flora dropped her weapon and put her hands to her mouth in shock. The other girls stared as the man twitched on the ground a few times before finally going still.

Flora dropped to her knees where she stood and shook her head frantically. Techna quickly walked over to the man "He was trying to kill us Flora, he was the enemy" and she lifted the mask off his face.

"He's not the enemy!" Wailed Flora as she gazed across at a dead Mr Spitter. The girls gasped and started down at him while Stella hugged the shocked Flora on the ground.

"We didn't know Flora, its ok. We'll take care of this, we know how to deal with dead bodies, it'll be ok, and this wasn't your fault" Stella whispered to her friend.

"You think he was the one who put the bomb in Techna's car too?" Asked Bloom carefully not to upset Flora

"Most likely, he had the opportunity" Techna replied as she watched for any people running through the forest, you could still hear people shouting from the school.

"How are we supposed to get rid of him?" Layla asked

"We'll put him in the back of the car and drive..." Musa mumbled after the last word "Oh no wait the cars gone, my bad"

Techna sighed as she started to walk toward the school "Ok I'll go hotwire a car, you guys try and clean up the area and meet me at the gate of the school with the body, ok?" They nodded and picked up their weapons.

"Maybe let people know we aren't dead from the explosion while you're there" Flora piped up at Techna who nodded.

Techna was able to hotwire a car without being seen. She then called the office to let them know that they had gone into town for lunch, fraying surprise and shock when she heard about the accident with the car. After she assured them that they were all right she drove the newly stolen car to the gate where she quickly helps the girls stuff the body into the truck.

While passing through town to get back home they stopped at stores to buy new clothes and discard their bloody ones. While walking back to the car the girls were stopped by a woman's voice.

"Girls hello!" Ms Faragonda called as she walked toward them, the girls froze next to the maroon car that they had stolen which still had a body in it.

"Hi...Ms Faragonda, what are you doing here, shouldn't you be at school?" Asked a slightly nervous Stella

"Oh yes I should but I just couldn't resist a lunch in town. I do so hope you can come back soon" she smiled at the nicely, it saddened them to have to lie.

"Oh we did come back today but we didn't feel well and there was an accident at school, some car blew up we really didn't want to be around crowds you understand" Stella lied causally.

Ms Faragonda looked shocked "Oh my a car exploded, well that certainly puts a damper on things, I suppose I should head back there now, thank you girls"

They all nodded smiling widely. Ms Faragonda glanced at the car behind them and smiled "You know it's funny but that looks exactly like my car, you girls have nice taste"

The girls tensed and all shot Techna a very dirty look as she looked back at them helplessly and shrugged.

"Well I'll be off" Ms Faragonda said as she strolled away quickly. Once she was gone all the girls slapped Techna on her arms and scowled.

"Relax, once we get rid of...it...I'll just return the car before school finishes, besides she'll be busy with the mess...he...made" Techna explained calmly.

The girls dumped the late Mr Spitter of into the river that runs through and away from Alfea and the town, nobody would ever find him the way they weighted him down.

Techna took the headmistresses car back before the day ended and when the girls got home when all collapsed onto the couch and groaned. Yesterday and Today's injuries would not be going away any time soon and no amount of concealer was going to cover up all of their scars.

"Bloom, the next time you want to go to school, I'm staying home" Stella said as she slowly fell asleep.
