Part 15 (Episode 26 – fire and ice)

"Faster, faster", Ogron yelled as they ran through the tunnels of Omega dimension. They could hear Layla and Nebula behind them.

"They're right behind us", Ogron yelled. But as they ran they came to a big crack and Ogron and Gantlos easily jumped over it.

'No', Anagan thought as he got closer to it. 'I can't run… anymore…'

He stopped at the edge and Gantlos and Ogron turned to him.

"Ogron", Anagan called. "I can't run anymore, wait for me please."

Gantlos got worried, he didn't want to lose another brother.

"There's no time", he called and reached out to Anagan. "Those fairies will be here soon. Jump, unless you rather stay and wait for them."

Fear of the fairies got the better of the fear for the jump so Anagan backed up and jumped. But when he got to the other side the ground gave way and he fell.

"No!" Gantlos yelled and flew forward. He got hold of Anagan's shirt.

'I'm not losing Ana too', he thought and pulled his friend up and they continued running.

"Come on", Gantlos said.

"Thanks Gantlos", Anagan said.

"Don't thank me just… be careful."

"See Gantlos you are not like these caverns", the voice decided to irritate him again but this time Gantlos ignored it.

"Ah brotherly love", the voice within Anagan said.

'Shut up.'

"Why should I, you know I'm right."

'Gantlos just saved me because he…' But Anagan couldn't find a comeback.

"Because he what? Hate you? Loath you? No Anagan, you know just as well as I do that he saved you because he cares for you, even loves you… like you love him. And you also love Diana."

'Hey don't you bring her into this!'

"Why shouldn't I? Deep down you love her."

'No I don't.'

"Just confess already, Duman and Gantlos know you do."

'But for your information Duman is DEAD!'

The voice didn't answer the angry mental shout.

It was night on the planet and the only city was asleep, except for one person. Had you looked outside you would have seen a man walk towards the big palace at the last level and walk straight up to the gates and throwing them open as if they weigh nothing at all. The man walked through them and through the long hallway until he reached a door with a big emblem on it. It was of a man holding a staff above his head and from the staff's top came big beams of light. The door was thrown open too and the moonlight shone into the room. There in the center of the room it was stuck to the floor, a staff with snakes circling it and with wings at the top.

"At long last", the man said and walked into the room and grabbed the staff and pulled on it. But nothing happened he frowned. "Your master is back! Obey me!" He pulled again and the staff came loose and started to shine.

"Yes! Finally!" The man held it above his head and the room was filled with a golden light and the whole city shook.

"Finally", a voice said from the light. "After centauries I am back! Now to eliminate the evil within me…" The staff shone again and the energy from it was aimed into the man. He heard running feet behind him and ignored them as the light got stronger and he got cleaned.

"Who goes there", someone yelled.

"I must return now", the man said and teleported away from the spot. The priests and elders of Olympus watched in horror as the staff of the guardian was 'stolen'.

"Gods", one priest said. "Help us all."

The man reappeared in Morgana's castle, in the hospital area. In there was a man in a coma. The man looked at himself in the mirror on the wall and smiled.

"So I am finally back, all of me", he said. He was now a tanned man in his thirties, at least by looks, this guy had shoulder long brown-blonde hair. Around his head he had a band. But if you looked closer you'd realized that it actually was a braid from his hair that had been draped around his head. His skin was tan, like Flora's, his eyes were golden and he was dressed in white boots that went halfway up his shin and at the ankles the boots had a pair of wings. He wore black pants but on his left leg a chainmail went from just above the knee down into the boot and on the right leg a chainmail went from above to knee up to the waist, but you couldn't really see that part. Because he wore a white tunic that ended a bit underneath the hips, around his waist he had a braided black belt and underneath the tunic he wore a black shirt and a chainmail that went down to his wrists and up his neck to the chin. Around his shoulders he wore a shin-long cloak with white edges. The lower edge of the tunic was decorated with blue glass-rocks, as was the belt and some parts on the chainmail and sleeves.

"It's good to be back", he said and looked at his staff. "Now let's set things right." He walked up to the bed and the comatose magician. He smiled softly.

"Time to wake up Nabu", he said and held his staff above the other magician. "Your friends need you right now."

A soft light appeared around Nabu and he opened his eyes and looked up at the other man.

"Henry", he asked in confusion but then saw that this man looked a bit older than Henry. "No not Henry."

"Right you are my friend", the man said and smiled. "Henry was a mare act by me when I was not myself."

"Duman", Nabu asked and sat up rubbing his head.

"True but still not true."

"I'm confused…"

"I know Nabu, but don't worry", 'Duman' reached out and helped Nabu rise. "Everything will be explained… but not right now. Right now your friends are in need of our help."

"Then let's go", Nabu said and got his staff out. Duman smiled and teleported them away.

Sky was helping a fairy that had been buried in the ice before. He was rubbing her arms to give them some heat.

"Why are you helping us", the fairy asked.

"We're not your enemies", Sky said and smiled. "We are your allies."

"If you are our allies", the fairy said. "Then why do I feel negative energy coming from him." She pointed at Riven and Sky's eyes widened when he realized what was going on. Helia and Timmy were trying to help ease Riven's headache with everything they could come up with. Sky flew up.

"Guys get away from him", he yelled and Timmy looked at him with big eyes. Then Riven grabbed his wrist in a painfully hard grip.

"OW!" Timmy said and looked at his friend and saw the evil smirk, and evil energy surrounding him.

"Let him go", Helia said and pulled on Riven's arm. Only to be thrown back by a blast of dark energy.

"Morgana", Brandon said. "Get your fairies to safety. We'll handle Riven."

"WHOA!" Timmy yelled as he sailed through the air.

"Err while we try to handle Riven", Brandon said and Morgana nodded and flew off with her fairies. The specialists surrounded Riven who smirked and transformed into the dark wizard he'd been before.

"It's great to be back", he said smirking evilly. "I am stronger than ever."

"I believe that when I see it", Sky yelled at him.

Riven smirked and with a bright flash he transformed into a catlike creature and attacked them. Sky jumped out of the way just in time, because he felt how the cat's jaws slammed shut just underneath his foot. He made a vault and landed beside Helia and the cat looked at them and growled before Riven turned into his 'normal' self and fired shockwaves at them. The two specialists jumped out of the way.

"Looks like Riven has both Duman and Gantlos' powers", Helia said. Then Riven took off in super speed towards Brandon and Timmy and knocked them to the ground before stopping and laughed at them.

"And Anagan", Sky remarked. Timmy got up and fired at the wizard that didn't move just let the shot hit him, he absorbed it.

"And Ogron", Helia commented.

"You weak fools", Riven said. "Did you really think you could defeat me", he took to the air and hovered above them. "The wizards of the black circle can't be defeated that easily!" He fired energy beams at them like crazy and the specialists had a hard time defending themselves.

"This is crazy", Brandon said as he dove behind a rock. "There must be a way to stop this!"

"There isn't", Riven mocked them. "I will kill you all now! WHOA!" He was almost hit by a golden beam.

"No you want Riven", said a familiar voice and the boys looked out from their hiding places and their jaws dropped. There stood someone they'd never thought they see again, well not awake.

"Nabu!" Helia yelled happily.

"Nabu", Riven mocked. "Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?"

"I have slept enough thank you, I feel strong and rested", Nabu said and fired a beam at Riven. Who avoided it easily and fired back at Nabu, who was still not back to his full strength and wouldn't have been able to jump away in time. But he didn't need to, his view of Riven was blocked by a golden staff and the attack was fired back at Riven and struck his chest which sent him down from the sky. Riven hit the ground and slid over it, creating a ditch behind him as he did, and hit a stone.

"Where are they", Duman asked Nabu.

"I don't know", Nabu answered.

"What the", Sky said when he saw the man talking to Nabu. "Who the hell are you?"

"No time Sky", Duman said. "Can you handle this situation by yourself for a bit?"

"Sure", Helia said. "But-"

"Where are the Winx?" Duman cut him off.

"Down there", Timmy pointed into a crack and Duman's eyes narrowed.

"Right", he said. "They'll be right with you." He jumped into the air and dove, head first, into the crack and was gone. Riven rose and shaky legs.

"You'll pay for that", he growled and attacked.

While all this was happening Gantlos had just blasted through a wall. But the sight that met him was not encouraging in the least.

"Oh no", he said when he saw that there was no way out of the cavern. The three of them walked inside and could see their reflections in the ice.

"Looks like there's no way out", Gantlos said as he looked around once more.

"It's over", Anagan said, knowing that this was it.

"It's a dead end Ogron."

Ogron growled and then snapped at them:

"I'll tell you when it's over. If this is the bottom of the Omega Dimension then let's start digging!"

Gantlos walked forward knowing fully well that Ogron meant that he would dig. Gantlos stomped in the ground and a huge crack appeared, Anagan's eyes widened a little in fear and Ogron and Gantlos backed up.

"If there's no way out of here then we'll just have to make our own way out", Ogron yelled as the cavern shook. It started to collapse and the three of them realized that this… was not going to be their way out.

"Ogron!" yelled a voice they recognized as Layla's.

"There's nowhere to run", Nebula said mockingly and the wizards split up to hide.

"Turn and fight!" Layla yelled angrily. The wizards' reflections were everywhere and Ogron chuckled mockingly at the two fairies as they crushed ice, ice and more ice. Then Ogron saw his chance to finish of Nebula, she was glaring at the ice where Gantlos' reflection was visible. He snuck up behind her and threw an attack at her back, sending her to the ground. Now Layla was alone and the wizards surrounded her.

"We don't go down without a fight girls", Ogron said.

"This is not right Anagan", the voice said within him and he saw everything around him fading away. "You are better than this!"

"Who are you", Anagan asked the darkness around him. "What are you?" Light came from behind him and he turned around and saw a silhouette bathing in the light, well the light was coming from all around it.

"I am what you are not", the voice said, but the volume was so loud Anagan had to cover his ears and sunk down on one knee. "Stop this useless battle for hate and vengeance and return to who you are, what you are!" Anagan groaned and moaned in pain.

"ANA!" he heard a voice yell somewhere far away.

"Become who you were born to be!"

"GAH!" Anagan wailed.

"ANAGAN!"

"RETURN!"

"NO", Anagan yelled.

"YES!"

As fast as the pain came it was gone, everything came back to him and he rose and saw Gantlos watch him worriedly. He nodded to him and watched as Ogron was pestering Layla.

"You want to avenge Nabu but you're not evil enough to do it", Ogron said and Anagan laughed at the irony of Ogron calling someone evil. Gantlos stared at him in confusion. Ogron laughed at Layla's tears but then the Winx arrived.

"Huh", Ogron said and looked up at them.

"Bloom", Layla exclaimed happily. "Girls!"

"Did you think we would just let you go", Flora asked smiling and the Winx landed.

Anagan realized that their situation was hopeless and he turned to Ogron.

"Let's surrender Ogron", he suggested.

"NEVER!" Ogron yelled and grabbed Anagan's hand and forcefully did the same to Gantlos.

"Gah!" Gantlos exclaimed as Ogron's nails dug into his skin and then the dark energy started to soar through all three of them.

'What is going on', Gantlos thought as he saw the crazed look on Ogron's face. 'Has Ogron lost his mind?' Then the dark energy shot towards the Winx.

"Believix magic convergence", Bloom yelled and a shield appeared around the Winx as they joined their powers together and fought to send an attack back at the wizards at the same time as protecting themselves. The cavern around them was collapsing and then Gantlos screamed in pain as all energy was almost drained from him and that small boost was enough to knock Stella out of the shield. But Roxy took her place and Layla and Stella soon joined them.

'We won't make it', Gantlos thought when he saw Nebula join them too. The combined power of the fairies were too great for the wizards, had Duman been with them they might have stood a chance but now they didn't. Gantlos, Anagan and Ogron screamed in fear as the counter attack soared towards them. But then a voice yelled:

"STOP!" A golden beam hit both attacks, the one of the fairies and the one of the wizards, and destroyed them just as it was about to hit the wizards. A hole had appeared in the icy wall as if being melt by humungous heat and that heat caused the ice and snow to steam so all they could see of the one stopping them was a shadow.

"You promised not to destroy them", the shadow spoke turning to the Winx. The girls had dropped their shields and were panting in exhaustion. The wizards were too, Anagan dropped on his hands and knees and Gantlos on his backside, only Ogron remained standing.

"Who… Who are you", Bloom demanded with a slight tremor in her voice. The shadow grabbed hold of the staff they could all see it was holding with both hands and stepped out of the steam so light could fall on his face. The girls gasped and the wizards stared.

"Henry", Flora asked in confusion and the man shook his head.

"No Flora", the man said and shook his head and walked closer to the girls. "My real name is Hermes." The girls gasped in shock. The wizards were watching them and Anagan felt tears prick at his eyes, he knew it was all over, they had lost.

"I'm sorry Duman", he said and closed his eyes when he felt tears escape them when he imagined his brother's smiling face. "I'm so sorry." His shoulders began to shake but after a little bit he gathered himself and rose.

"Ana", Gantlos asked in confusion and worry when he saw his friend with tears going down his cheeks.

"Winx", Anagan yelled and they and Hermes looked at him. Anagan held up his hands. "I give up."

"WHAT?" Ogron roared at him.

"Ogron", Anagan said and turned to his commander. "They overpower us in numbers and strength. Didn't you see how easily that guy stopped both spells? It is over."

"IT'S NOT OVER! IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL I SAY IT'S OVER!"

"But Ogron if we go up against them we'll surely die", Anagan tried.

"And if you don't I will kill you myself!" Ogron roared and Gantlos' eyebrows shot up and Anagan paled. Then Ogron roared and fired a dark beam at Anagan but a golden shield appeared around the younger of the two wizards. But that didn't stop Ogron from continuing attacking the force field. Gantlos was too tried to try to stop him, even though he tried to get up but failed and fell again. And the fairies were too shocked to do anything at all.

"You won't be able to keep that shield up forever", Ogron yelled as he attacked again. "Like Duman you will be punished for betraying me!"

"What", Gantlos growled and managed to get up this time.

"Surely you didn't think a fairy could put him in that state", Ogron went on, ignoring Gantlos behind him.

"That was you", Anagan yelled in hate.

"Of course, who else?"

"You", Gantlos yelled and stumbled forward before running. "YOU BASTARD!" He raised his hand to hit Ogron but the other wizards aimed his hand for Gantlos and dark energy shot at him. Gantlos held up his arms to protect himself. But nothing hit him, a sudden warmth surrounded him and Gantlos moved his arms from his face and looked up. He saw that the golden energy protecting Anagan was now protecting him too. He was even pulled into the same sphere as Anagan and the younger wizard hurried up to him and helped him stand properly. Gantlos grip on Anagan hardened as he tried to stop his tears, his heart had been torn to pieces by someone he'd looked upon as a brother and friend. Ogron was livid at this turn of events and continued to attack.

"You can't protect the both of you forever Anagan", he roared and attacked again. But when the attack flew through the air there was an explosion that sent up clouds of snow and ice all around them. When the snow and ice sailed to the ground Ogron reeled backwards in shock, because Hermes was now standing in front of him.

"Anagan doesn't need to protect them Ogron", he said pointed at Ogron with his staff. "Because I will do it for them."

Ogron growled in rage. "You think you can defeat me Hermes?" he growled. "You couldn't before and you can't now!" He used his darks powers and a dark fire engulfed Hermes. Everyone except Ogron gasped in horror as they saw the dark fire but when it died down… Hermes stood there looking bored.

"Are you done yet", he asked Ogron. The dark wizard roared in hatred and fired dark energy beams at Hermes who used his staff to hit them to the side.

"My turn", he said and fired a golden beam at Ogron that sent the dark wizard flying into a wall.

"I-is that the best you can do", Ogron hissed as he rose and fired more attacks at Hermes. Hermes spun his staff around in front of him, so fast it looked like a propeller, and when the beams hit it they were sent back at Ogron. The dark wizard flew at him and kicked at Hermes.

"Winx", Hermes yelled as he blocked Ogron's kick with his staff. "Get Anagan and Gantlos out of here!"

"But Hermes", Bloom said reaching out for him. Hermes used a magic shield to defend himself. When Ogron hit it, energy soared through the shield and into the dark wizard and threw him back so he tumbled over the cave floor.

"Do as I say", Hermes yelled to the girls and twirled around, then he smiled sadly and said in a softer tone: "They need you up there more."

"What do you-"

"Watch out", Tecna yelled and pointed at something behind Hermes. This looked over his shoulder and saw Ogron get up with a crazed look on his face.

"You think this is over", Ogron growled and Hermes turned slowly gripping his staff with both hands as he went.

"It is not over", Ogron went on. "It's far from over!" He raised his head above his head and grinned evilly, his eyes turned completely black and a strong wind started to blow. "If I can't defeat you with the power I have I will take back the power I GAVE!" Then dark gusts of wind blew at Hermes and he held his staff out and it protected him from the darkness. But not even his shields could stop Ogron from taking back the dark power that possessed Anagan and Gantlos. The two wizards jerked, twitched and screamed in pain as the dark energy was ripped out of their bodies. Bloom's eyes widened when she saw the purple and black energy leave the two wizards and she swore she could see two pair of red eyes in the energy. The energy got to Ogron who absorbed it and smiled even more evil and Hermes' grip on his staff hardened as he walked backwards. Anagan and Gantlos fell to the ground and were unconscious.

"Bloom", Hermes hissed to them. "Get Anagan and Gantlos out of here and keep your promise to me that way."

"But Hermes you can't fight alone", Flora said in her sweet voice.

"And yet I can't allow you to take part Flora."

"But Hermes", Musa began.

"Musa", Hermes turned to her. "Riven needs you."

Musa's eyes widened in horror. "What?"

"Ogron has turned him against you yet again. The specialist and Nabu are fighting him."

"Nabu", Layla yelled. "H-he's awake?"

"Yes", Hermes turned back to Ogron. "I repaid my dept."

Suddenly he felt arms around his throat and lips pressed to his cheek.

"Thank you", Layla sobbed into his shoulder.

"You are most welcome princess of Andros/Tides. Now go!"

Tecna used her magic cages to carry Anagan and Gantlos. Nebula followed them but she stopped in the door to watch Hermes and Ogron glare at each other, but then she left too.

"So here we are yet again Hermes", Ogron smirked.

"That we are Ogron", Hermes said.

"Prepare to meet your doom."

"This is not good", Hermes mumbled as he saw the black smoke and energy swirl around Ogron.
