-Chapter 11-

When the ship neared the cliffs, Sophie started to feel weak. As they got closer, it got worse. When the ship touched down, Laikia said "You had better wait here, Sophie."

"She shouldn't stay alone," said Spirit.

"I will stay with her," Mida proclaimed.

"I'll stay, too," offered Leona.

Loric, Artemis, Alexandria, Spirit, Laikia, Tia, and Nythersa stepped off the ship and walked off to the other Red Fountain ship in the distance. When they arrived, the door opened for them, and they stepped inside. Mckenna was sitting in the driver's seat, fiddling around with buttons that didn't do anything.

"Sister?" Tia asked in shock. "You're the Red Fountain accomplice to the witches?"

"Yeah, Alaina asked for help, so I complied to her request," Mckenna explained.

"Well, Alaina and her friends are about to team up with an evil wizard!" Nythersa said to Mckenna.

"Seriously?" Mckenna asked in disbelief.

"Seriously," Loric affirmed.

"Quick, Tia, let's try and reach her," Mckenna suggested.

Tia and Mckenna held each other's hands and closed their eyes. Suddenly, Tia gasped and almost fainted. Mckenna had a distressed look on her face. "We're too late! We're too late!" Tia shrieked.

"Cool your jets, and tell us what just happened," Alexandria commanded.

"It's a power we have," Mckenna began. "Two of us together can reach the third mentally."

"And what we saw in Alaina's head-" Tia almost passed out again. She was ghostly white.

"Alaina and the witches are already planning with Akiri," Mckenna said in a panic-y tone.

"And … and ..." Tia started crying.

"When Alaina saw us in her head, she alerted Akiri, and now monsters are being sent after us," Mckenna said with wide, shocked eyes.

"We have to get out of here," said Spirit.

"But we have to get Alaina!" whined Tia.

"There's no time for that," said Artemis.

Suddenly, a fleet of the huge, pitch-black, muscular, demonic monsters appeared on the horizon.

Immense rage came over Alexandria, and she dashed out of the ship toward the monsters, gold-colored retractable whip out and ready for battle.

"Alexandria! Come back!" called Nythersa.

"I have to do this!" Alexandria yelled with determination.

Spirit used her power to create a shadow dragon essence that grabbed Alexandria and dragged her back to the ship. Once she was safely inside, the ship took off.

"What were you thinking?" Loric asked Alexandria.

"I know those monsters," Alexandria said slowly, looking at the floor. "I've seen them once before."

"When?" Laikia asked.

Alexandria took a shaky breath. "When they killed my mom."

Everyone went silent.

Alexandria continued, "When Red Fountain began accepting girls, I signed up right away. I had to learn to fight, so that I could one day destroy those monsters. And, you stole my chance." Alexandria shot a cold look at Spirit, who shifted uncomfortably.

"I have a feeling we'll be seeing them again," Mckenna said solemnly.

"Well, our team just keeps taking risky moves today," said Loric.

"Oh my gosh, our team!" Artemis exclaimed. "Leona, Sophie, and Mida are still in the other ship!"

They gathered around the window and watched the ground below as the monsters overtook the other ship. Suddenly, Mida burst through the ceiling of that ship in her winx form with an unconscious Sophie in her arms. She had cast a spell on Leona that temporarily aloud her flight power as long as she stayed close to Mida. Mida and Leona flew up along side the ship.

"She really is a powerful fairy," Laikia commented.

Spirit was sending a message to the base team (Alice and Lauren) at Alfea. "Alice, we need you to alert Farogonda that we were too late, and are coming back empty handed."

"I'm on it," Lauren's voice came from the background.

"I'm so glad that you two worked out your differences," said Tia as she tried to gain control of her sobs.

"So are we," said Alice.

The Red Fountain ship flew back to Alfea in an uncomfortable silence.
