DISCLAIMER:Sigh, no, I don't own Winx Club, well not yet that is... I DO however, own Galin and Zoltan!
"So, now that I'm free, I suppose it's time for revenge." The evil voice laughed, "I'll strike carefully and quietly, and no-one will even know I've escaped until it's too late!" The man began to writhe and scream, and suddenly, a carbon copy of him walked out of his body. The copy did the same, until there were eight in total. "Now that you're all here, I have a plan…You are going to leave this place, and search the globe for the fairy that trapped us here, and when you find him, you will report back to me!"
"Yes master, we will search for the fairy, and report back."
"Destroy anything that gets in your way! Understood?!"
"Understood." The copies left the cavern and the original sat down inside the circle that had kept him trapped and dormant for almost a thousand years.
"When they find him, I will dispose of him permanently, and after that, there will be nothing that can stop Zoltan!"
"Ok girls, first things first. Where are we?" Bloom asked as the Winx aimlessly wandered around downtown Cobalt, hoping to find some sort of clue that might lead them to the fairy they were looking for.
"According to the map that I downloaded, we're on the corner of Main and Baker."
"Knowing where we are isn't going to help us figure out where to look Bloom." Stella began.
"I think we should head down Baker some. There's a park down the street, I think it would be a good place to start our search" Tecna interrupted. "From there we can split up to cover more territory."
"Good idea Tecna." Bloom said before Stella could complain about being interrupted. "Lead the way." As the girls walked down the road, Musa questioned Bloom as to how they would organize the search. "I don't really know, but we'll sort it out. We have to find the fairy, Miss Faragonda is depending on us."
"Ya, we need to do this, if there's a fairy out there that has the power to help us, then we need to find them." Flora said, sounding rather determined, "We're going to do this, and we're going to find that fairy, I just know it."
"How can you be so sure Flora? The fairy could be hiding anywhere around us, and we may not even have a magic energy to follow to them, or obvious cases of accidental power use." Tecna questioned, "The chance of success without any leads is extremely low, and I can't identify any good leads."
"I just know Tecna, it's as if I can feel her next to me already, it's strange." Just then, Galin went running by. "Hello Galin!" By the time Flora had finisher her greeting, Galin was around the corner and out of sight.
"Well girls, here's where we split." Tecna announced, "I'll go towards the mall. Stella, you head for the north side of town. Layla, head for the beach. Bloom and Roxy can go to the library and search around there. Musa, you can check out downtown. Flora, see what you can find in the park."
"Bloom, be careful, I have a feeling you're going to get more than you bargained for."
"I will be Flora, I promise." With this, the girls split up, and headed off to their designated areas to search.
"Get away from me!" Galin jumped across a gap that was at least fifteen feet wide. The shadow beast that was following him stopped for a moment. Galin rolled as he hit the other side, and kept on running. He stopped about fifty feet later, and turned around to see why he couldn't hear the beast anymore, but he didn't like what he saw. The dog like creature that had been following him had grown wings, and was taking to the sky. Galin turned back around, and started running, right off the edge of a cliff.
As Galin fell, a beautiful voice filled his mind "Galin, you mustn't lose faith"
"Who, what, and where are you, and what do you mean?"
"Do not lose faith…" Time seemed to slow for Galin, as he watched the side of the cliff go by, but there were no places to grab, and the shadow beast was gaining on him. That was it, he was done for, he knew it, and knew there was no point in denying it. Suddenly, he shot off away from the cliff, leveling out, and he started to fall more slowly. He turned around to see if the beast was following him, and suddenly he felt a massive amount of energy flowing through his body, and he released it from his body, smashing the beast into the cliff.
Galin woke up with a start. "What was that?" He looked around, and found himself asleep on the couch in his basement, it was about one thirty. "Oh no, I've got to get D&D ready, or the other's will kill me!" As he got the game ready, he kept hearing the voice again and again, saying the same thing, it just didn't make sense to him. He had just finished setting up the table when the doorbell rang, it was probably Austin, and he would let himself in if the door wasn't answered. So he didn't bother to get up, until the bell rang again. This time, Galin got up and looked through the basement window at who was ringing the doorbell. There were three men, dressed in cloaks that looked like they were from the ninth century. Galin decided he would see what they wanted, and have a little bit of fun at the same time.
"Hello there, we're looking for Galin, is he home?"
"No, not at the moment, can I take a message, or get a number he can contact you at?"
"Yes, you most certainly can. Tell him that the wizards of eternity would like to speak with him. He can contact us simply by touching a mirror and saying Contactum Reactum."
"I'll pass it on for you."
"We thank you very much, it is vital that we speak with him as soon as possible, his life is a risk if we do not." With that, the wizards turned around, and disappeared into thin air.
"Maybe they're not as crazy as I thought…"
"Bloom, something is wrong here, the streets are totally empty, there are no animals nearby, I have a bad feeling about this."
"Me too Roxy, but I have no Idea what it is."
"Can you use a spell to figure out what's wrong? There's no-one around to see you do it, so what's the risk?"
"Great idea Roxy! Detectus Around Us" Suddenly, the world around them seemed to spin and whirl uncontrollably.
"Hello there fairies, it seems you have figured out my little trick sooner than I expected, oh well, it just means I get to destroy you sooner!" An evil-looking figure stepped through the bending reality around them, cackling maniacally, as he advanced towards the girls. "I hope you enjoy your last few moments on Earth!"
