Hi everyone, ok I know I'm saying this nearly every time I update but I'm so sorry for the long update, the truth is I just had two weeks off school and I could have written something then but all my time was taken up by seeing friends and revising for my big exams that are coming up in a month. So one again I ma very sorry and I hope this chapter makes up for things.
Thank you Thunderflame of AmberClan, Brown eyes and bushy tail, PhoebeTheQueenOfDragons, Shining Diamonds, alexawinx and Queen Flora for reviewing.
Diclaimer: Winx Club Not Mine!
There was a long eerie silence as the two girls glared at each other, Chimera was smirking and was looking very confident while Stella was looking very angry, she didn't care if she won or lost, she just wanted to protect her kingdom from her.
"I'll tell you something, I'm very surprised that you're standing here today, that fall is very high and the chances of surviving are near impossible, I guess you were one of the lucky ones" Chimera said folding her arms and strutting round the moon, Stella never took her eyes of her.
"The fall must of hurt you badly though" Chimera continued, she walked to the edge and looked down, "If you fell again then that would certain your death, would you like to try it?"
Stella gritted her teeth, "Chimera…I don't care what it takes…but you are never going to win" She hissed.
"You can try and kill me, heck you can even kill me but you are never going to take over my kingdom, you will be stopped" Stella said bitterly.
Chimera snorted "My mother and I won't let-".
"Your mother's dead Chimera, we killed her" Stella said loudly, "She was the one trying to brainwash my father but you. You're the one that wants me dead, that wants my kingdom. But you're not going to take it".
Chimera was shaking, "Cassandra's…dead?" She whispered, "You killed her…" Stella noticed that she wasn't shaking in fear but shaking in anger.
"Well…then you're going to die too" Chimera said unfolding her hands, "And this time you won't get back up".
She gave a loud scream and charged at Stella, the blow knocked Stella straight off her feet and she landed face down on the ground, Chimera landed on her feet, unharmed.
"What's wrong?" She called, "Aren't you going to fight back? Oh, that's right. You can't".
Stella looked up at Chimera looking furious; she stood up and charged again at Chimera, this time Stella punched Chimera in the face, next thing the group knew the two girls were in a fierce physical battle.
"Why isn't she using her powers?" Layla asked.
"She can't" Brandon muttered, "She still can't remember how to use her powers, right know physical attacks are the only thing she can do".
"But why isn't Chimera using magic?" Musa then asked, "She's got an advantage of magic and she's using her fists instead".
"Maybe she has morals" Helia replied, "Maybe she doesn't want to use magic against a girl who can't, it's not fair".
"Or maybe she's waiting" Riven muttered, the group all looked at him, "She might be using her fist now, but once Stella's been weakened, she'll strike with her dark magic".
He was right, Chimera had finally stricken Stella across her face and it sent her flying across the platform, the second Stella hit the ground Chimera formed loads of green balls in her hand, she threw them at Stella but it was too late, Stella had gotten up and dodged all the balls by running away.
"You can't run forever" Chimera taunted, she began to form another green ball in her hand, this time the ball was bigger, stronger and had thick green lightening pouring out of it, Stella's eyes widened as she saw it forming.
"Now what?" Chimera said, "Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide".
Stella watched as the ball got bigger and bigger, the group watched Chimera as she began to laugh.
"She's going to get killed by that thing" Tecna said sounding scared, "Why isn't she running away?"
"Chimera's right" Brandon whispered, "There's nowhere for her to run or hide, she's going to have to take the blow".
"Can't we protect her at least?" Flora asked.
Brandon looked at Flora and then at Stella, she looked really scared and he wanted to help her, "Ok" he said, "On the count of three".
"Poor Little Stella" Chimera taunted again.
"One".
"What's going to happen after this?" Chimera asked, "Are you going to die? Who knows?"
"Two".
"Only this will tell" Chimera said letting go of the ball.
"THREE"
The ball speed towards Stella but Layla got there first, she created a huge purple barrier that protected Stella, the ball bounced off the force field and sped back towards Chimera, it hit her and she flew backwards with a cry of pain.
Chimera looked up at the force field and growled, "What? You can't protect yourself so you have your friends do it for you?"
Stella looked down at the floor, then she got up. She walked over to the group and the force field followed, the group all looked at her with puzzled expressions.
"Guys" Stella said, "I know you want to help but I need to do this by myself".
"But you can't" Bloom protested, "You have no magic, what will you use to defeat her".
Stella looked at Brandon and smiled at him, "Brandon, I need your sword, before when I used it, it helped me use my powers, I know I can defeat her with that".
Brandon looked at her and nodded, he hand over his sword and Stella proudly held it in her hands, she looked back at him, "Thank you" She whispered.
She was about to leave when Brandon grabbed hold of her hand, "Nicole…I know you can do this…just be careful ok" he told her.
Stella nodded, "I will" She said smiling at Brandon.
Stella looked boldly up to the force field and sliced it in two, it crumbled to the floor and melted away, she looked at Chimera, there was no need for words, the expression on Stella's face said it all. She was ready for a fight.
Chimera smirked, "I take it you're going to fight me with a sword?" She questioned.
Stella nodded, "It reminds me of those old medieval stories, how a brave warrior would fight off the wicked witch".
Chimera blinked, "You're no warrior Stella, you can try and try but that sword will be of no use to you".
Stella raised her eyebrows, "I'll tell you what I told you mother Chimera, I know I'm not a fighter but still, I can try my very best with this sword".
Chimera sighed, "I'm fed up with this" She groaned and created another load of green balls, she threw them all at Stella but she managed to shield herself by using the sword to block them from her.
Chimera gasped as the balls flew off in different directions, Stella charged at Chimera with the sword clenched in her hands, she tried to slash Chimera with it but failed, the sound of magic crashing into the sword filled the air, nothing was being done to this fight.
"Give it up" Chimera yelled, "You've tried your best but it's not working, you'll just have to give up like last time. Don't worry; I'll go easy on you when I throw you off".
Stella gritted her teeth; this fight wasn't over yet and wasn't going to be over until she had won. She got back up and charged at Chimera, big mistake as Chimera had been expecting this and threw a purple ball at her, Stella had not seen this coming and it knocked her to the ground with a loud crash, the group all gasped as Stella lay on the ground groaning in pain.
Chimera walked over and stood over her with a proud smile on her face, "See" She whispered, "You were never destined to win, Solaria was always supposed to be mine, don't you see? It's all falling into place now, no matter how many times you get back up here, you'll always fall".
Stella was shaking in anger and in fear; suddenly the power surge came back, it filled Stella with a warm power she had never felt before, this was it. The power she had been looking for.
Stella placed her hands together and a small sunbeam poured out of her hands, it was small but very powerful, it had knocked Chimera back a few metres.
Stella slowly stood up from the floor, she could see herself glowing again as more power came back to her and as if it was trying to break out of her body Stella formed many little sun balls and threw them all at Chimera, it sent her flying further and further back.
"It's her power again" Flora gasped as they all watched Stella following Chimera as she rolled further and further to the edge.
"You don't think she's going to throw her off do you?" Sky asked.
"It could happen" Brandon said not taking his eyes off Stella, "But she deserves it all".
Chimera was moving closer and closer to the edge, Stella's power had made her bleed all over her body and as Chimera got weaker and weaker, Stella was getting stronger.
Finally they had reached the edge, Stella held her hands high over her head and created a huge yellow ball of energy, she could feel the power surging through her body and into the ball, all the hatred, anger and pain she had been through because of this girl made her power much more stronger.
"Please…" Chimera gasped weakly, "Have mercy"
"This is it Chimera" Stella hissed, "I did nothing to you and you think you have the right to make my life miserable, when I woke up that day n the hospital I thought this was all some freak accident, everyone thought I was suicidal and a head case. Then I find out about you and your sick mother taking over my realm and I couldn't sleep I was so worried about it, I wanted you to pay for what you did and now…well I'm standing here and you're the one lying on the floor begging for mercy, well I'm not going to give it to you, just like you didn't give me a chance".
The ball left Stella's hands and collided with Chimera's chest, it knocked her straight off the edge of the moon, she had no time to grab hold of the edge, Stella could hear her blood curdling screams as she fell.
Stella turned round and looked at the group, they were all staring at her in shock, Stella smiled and opened her mouth to speak when…
Something flew up from the side of the moon and poured down onto Stella, Chimera obviously wasn't going to leave quietly, as she fell she mustered all her magic for one final strike, she created a huge purple beam and it had flown up into the air and crashed down onto Stella with a great force, after it all had cleared it showed Stella looking like she was about to faint.
She was shivering from head to toe and she looked very pale, Brandon knew that something going to happen, quickly he stepped forward to her, "Stella…are you ok?" He asked.
Stella was not ok; she stumbled backwards so she was dangerously close to the edge and with that, she slipped off.
In that split second when she fell no one made a sound, it wasn't until she had disappeared out of sight the horrified screams and cries filled the calm air.
"STELLA" Brandon cried out, he ran toward the edge and the others followed him.
They could see her boy falling out of sight, Brandon knew that he wasn't going to let this happen again.
"I have to save her" He cried, he backed up and ran towards the edge and then he jumped off after Stella.
Again the group screamed in fear, two friends had both jumped off the moon and none of them knew if there were going to come back.
Dun, Dun, Duuunn! Suspense! Shock horror! Well I really wanted to leave it on this note, ok this is normally the time when I say 'I'll update soon' but this time I'll say this, I might not be able to update for a while (Don't hit me!) But I seriously have to revise for these exams if I want to get into college, you never know though. I could always update if I type it up quickly but I really do doubt that. So please review and if I can I will try and update soon, it just seems mean to leave all my readers on a cliffhanger!
