Stella sat on the couch checking her makeup. "At least it is April," she thought. "But if we are to stop Darkar that fairy needs to not help him anymore. It's bad enough he gave that bastard a piece like my best friend Bloom did but she was brainwashed this guy is just naturally evil".
"I know what you are thinking," a voice said. Stella looked to where the voice came from. Andrew was standing in the doorway to the small porch.
"My body may support three living things and I may be angered or upset easily," he said. "But I am not an idiot. I sometimes can tell what people are going to say before they say it and I can tell what people are thinking sometimes". Stella suddenly felt a bunch of mixed emotions. She felt scared, confused, surprised and freaked out. She opened her mouth to say something but Andrew interrupted her.
"Yes I was with Melina and then with Faregonda, plus it isn't that difficult to climb up here," he said. "I have climbed much harder walls then these". Stella became surprised. Andrew walked over and poured him a glass of some kind of soda and sitting on a chair. "So again I can tell what you are thinking and ever since my dark form earned its so called dark Charmix controlling it has been harder to control. Not to mention I barely remember the day".
"Where are the others?" Stella asked
"Alex is in the gym, the others are with their boyfriends. Oh and one more thing".
"Yeah? What is it?"
"Faregonda wants to see us early tomorrow after breakfast".
"Tomorrow is Thursday," Stella said confused. "Why would she want to see you all during first period?"
"Y'all really isn't the proper term".
"Why?" she asked.
"Us includes you".
"Talk about instant acceptance". The main door opened and Alex walked in. She was dressed in grey sweat pants and a purple tank top. Without saying anything she headed to her room to change.
"Well she's back," Stella said.
"Yep," Andrew responded.
"What do you think Faregonda wants?" she asked.
"Not sure but the look on her face says something is up". Just as Andrew had finished his sentence Alex walked in again in her normal clothes.
"Hey Stella," she said. She went to over to her husband and they gave a quick peck on the lips. "Hey sweetheart, what are you two up to?"
"Just talking," Stella said.
"Fun, oh and I ran into Ms. Faregonda in the hallway. She said…"
Andrew interrupted her. "We already know Faregonda wants to meet us during first period".
"Oh okay," she said. "The girls are on their way back with dinner. The guys are coming too so we should meet them out by the well".
"Okay," the other two fairies said. Stella got up with Alex and headed towards the doorway but Andrew had different plans. He walked over to the porch and just leaped off the edge. Stella noticed and notified Alex. Freaked out they ran over to the edge and noticed that the mayhem fairy was perfectly fine.
"Oh my gosh," Alex said rubbing her eyes with her thumb and finger. "I hate when he does that".
"Well," Stella said. "He did it so might as well join him".
"Hm," Alex said. She shrugged. Doing as the mischief maker did, they just took a leap off the edge.
"You know I hate it when you do that," Alex said angrily. He just smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
"So, he's done this before?" Stella asked
"Yep," Alex said. "When he was still a soldier he would leap off the edge of the buildings landing completely unharmed while others that tried it had died".
"You need to get checked out," she said to Andrew.
"No thanks Stella," he responded. "I'm just being myself". Stella rolled her eyes. "Watch this, three, two, one". When he reached one he pointed to the forest and four motor bikes came rolling in. Kayla was on one with Leander, Sou was on another with Shinn, Kristina was on the far right one with Jayden and the final one had Lanie with Elias. Their pixies were right behind them exhausted.
"Slow down next time," Estella said.
"Oh relax Estella," Stella said. "It's not like you are going to have a heart attack or anything".
"You try keeping up with one of these things".
"Whatever, you all bring dinner?"
"Yep," Lanie said. She reached into her backpack and pulled out three containers. "Here you go. Stella, Andrew, and Alex". As she said their names she tossed a box to them.
"Thanks," Stella said. Each one of them opened the box and began eating using the tools they had inside of it.
"So tell me, what did you all do?" Stella asked.
"Went to the movies and then to dinner; you?" Kayla responded.
"Alex spent time in the gym, I saw a few teachers with Pandora, and Stella…well I have no idea what she did".
"Be bored half to death in the room. Speaking of which, where is that pixie anyways?"
"Don't know she disappears a lot. Oh and girls before I forget, don't go to first period Faregonda wants to see us in her office right after breakfast".
"You know what she wants?" Sou asked.
"No idea," Alex said. "We all have no idea".
"Perfect," Kristina said annoyed. "We are going to miss first period and don't even know why". A small beeping came from Alex's watch.
"It's seven o' clock better get going guys," she said checking her watch.
"Right, bye girls," the specialists said. They waved good bye as they drove off.
"We should probably get inside as well," Kayla said.
"Hold on," Stella said with her mouth full. She took one last bite of her dinner and decided she was ready.
"I'm ready," she said.
"Good," Kristina said. Stella and the Blitz entered the main hallway and headed up to their room. The next morning, the group of fairies quickly ate breakfast and reported to Ms. Faregonda's office.
"You wanted to see us Ms Faregonda?" Sou asked.
"Yes, sit," the head mistress ordered. Most of them did as ordered but some didn't feel like sitting considering all that has happened over the year. "Girls, I feel like the stress is getting to you".
"It is a bit," Kristina said. "The advance classes are not what we…"
"That's not what she meant," Lanie said.
Faregonda shook her head. "That isn't at all what I meant". She folded her hands and leaned on her desk. "I meant the protecting the Magix dimension. I was referring to stopping Darkar".
"That is a bit stressful," Kristina mentioned correcting herself.
"It's simple," Andrew said. "We go to where he is hiding and kick his ass before he gets the last piece to activate the Codex and opens a portal".
Everyone turned and looked at him. "What?" he asked.
"Let me try putting it as simple as I can without freaking you out," Stella said. She placed her hand on his shoulder. The boy looked at her confused. "You are the last piece he needs to get the Realix".
Andrew shook his head and walked to the window behind Ms. Faregonda. Looking out it at the students who had this period off playing in the courtyard he closed his eyes, let a tear roll down his face and said six words that would at first relieve the stress of everyone but then scare them even more.
"Good," Darkar said grasping the last Codex. He walked over to a desk in the middle of the room. "I am so close to possessing the Realix power". He pressed a button on the desk. The other three pieces of the Codex appeared from in the desk. Grasping the most recent one he levitated each one into the air one at a time. They swirled around in the air but a blast sent the Shadow Phoenix flying through the air. He crashed into the steps that led up to his chair and the Codex pieces fell to the floor.
"Crap," he said.
The Trix walked into the room. "Did you forget?" Darcy asked crossing her arms.
He rubbed his helmet. "Forget what?"
"You don't have all the pieces," Stormy sassed. She placed her hands on her hips.
"Don't talk to me like that," he said. "And what do you mean all the pieces were more pieces created".
"Not pieces," Icy said. "Piece; you need the dragon's fire".
"Oh yeah," Darkar said. "Where am I supposed to get the dragon's fire? Doesn't the master have the dragon's fire?"
"Yeah, you want us to see if he will help us?" Icy asked.
"Yes," he ordered.
Andrew shook his head and walked to the window behind Ms. Faregonda. Looking out it at the students who had this period off playing in the courtyard he closed his eyes, let a tear roll down his face and said six words that would at first relieve the stress of everyone but then scare them even more.
"He isn't just after the Realix," he said. Everyone exhaled with great relief.
"What is he after then?" Kayla asked.
"I said he isn't just after the Realix," he said putting emphasizes on the "just". "He is also after the Ancient Ones' powers". He burst out crying.
"What is the Ancient One?" Stella asked.
Alex escorted her crying husband to the seat where the entire Blitz gang tried comforting him. "It isn't a, what is," she said. "It is a, who are". She got up and walked to the shelf where Faregonda had a bunch of books. She grabbed one off the shelf, opened it and handed it to Stella who began reading it.
"The Ancient Ones are the Ancient Titans. They ruled the world before the gods did. After a long war of the gods against the titans some of the titans were imprisoned in Tartarus. Some are not in it but their power could still be a threat if in the wrong hands".
"So he is trying to get power of titans," Stella said.
"Yes," Andrew said who was still trying to get control of his crying.
"Another reason why you need this," Faregonda said. "Darkar will be coming after you any minute and the first place he will likely look is here. That is why I am sending you to a special place. I am sending you to the planet known as Prator".
"Never heard of it," Sou said.
"I thought you wouldn't," the head mistress responded. "It is a small planet near Zenith. I have quite a few students there who said they would love to help you out. Unfortunately you will need a translator".
"What about school?" Kayla asked.
"The teachers have agreed to let you take a few weeks off".
"Are the boys going?" Lanie asked getting excited.
"No," she replied. "They are leaving tomorrow for a mission".
"Oh". Lanie became disappointed.
"Relax," Stella said. "We don't need the specialists to have a good time".
"Now go back to your room and get ready. Meet me in front of the school in twenty minutes. You may also want to pack an extra suitcase". The Blitz and Stella headed back to the room. Inside they noticed suitcases already packed. The pixies were sitting on them.
"Hi there," a pixie the girls recognized as Amore said.
"Amore," Stella said. "What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here?" Amore asked. "I see you met the Blitz".
"I'm here to hopefully help stop Darkar," she said.
"I'm here to be with you," Amore said.
"That's sweet," everyone said.
Kristina and Lanie both counted the suitcases. There were fifteen suitcases. "Hey Alison?" Kristina asked.
"Yes?" the tiny pixie responded.
"There are fifteen suitcases," she said.
"You will want an extra suitcase," Minerva said.
"Why?" Alex questioned.
"Prator is known as the shop planet," Pandora said. "Most of its income comes from tourism".
"That makes sense but wouldn't it just be fourteen suitcases?" Andrew said
"Nope," Amore said shaking her head.
"Is there a reason for that?" Sou asked.
"Yep," Diana said. "Ask her". She pointed to Stella. Everyone looked at her.
"I kind of need two suitcases for my supplies. I carry clothes for many occasions, casual and fancy".
"That would still only require maybe one," Andrew said annoyed.
"Plus swim wear, beauty products and many others".
"It's a week".
"You come back two weeks from Wednesday," Estella corrected.
"What?" everyone yelled.
"Are you serious?" Lanie asked.
"Yep," Pandora said.
"Look let's just get packing," Kayla said. "Let's not get into an argument".
"Okay," Stella said.
"Fine". Everyone headed to their room but the Ariana stopped them.
"Don't need to," she said.
"You did not," Kristina said.
"Yep," Pandora said smiling. A big grin came on her face. Each fairy became afraid of what was in their suitcases and what they looked like on the inside. They walked over to their suitcases and slowly opened them. Each one of them expected it to either explode on them or the inside look like a giant mess. When they opened them it wasn't even close to what they expected. The clothes were perfectly folded and nicely stacked.
"Spending a lot of time with Stella," Amore said. The fairies were speechless and wanted it to remain that way. They just quickly shut their suitcases and ran outside with each one of the pixies and guardians on their heels. Outside Faregonda directed and led them to the bus stop, through Magix all the way to the teleport railway where they went to the so called "small planet".
