Darkar laughed as he looked upon the terrified faces of students and teachers alike. He smiled as he felt the elf tremble underneath his fingers.
He threw his captive on the ground, then pulled him into the air, where he floated, flailing and screaming.
"Come, Bloom. Our throne room awaits!" He shouted, then waited for his queen to come to his side. He slapped Palladium, then glared at the professor who immediately got quiet.
Faragonda looked on in horror as Darkar took her respected colleague captive. She blinked back hot tears as he was thrown mercilessly onto the ground, then yanked into the air, where he was held, screaming for help.
'I'm so sorry, Palladium...' she thought as the new King of Magix walked into his throne room-her old office.
"What are we going to do now, Ms. Faragonda?" Flora asked, pinching the bridge of her nose to try and stop her nosebleed.
"To be quite honest, I really don't know. I'll head over to Cloud Tower with the rest of the teachers, then to Red Fountain. You girls go back to Shadowhaunt and inform Layla, Tecna and the boys on what has occured." Faragonda explained to her worried students. The present members of the WInx club nodded, then Faragonda watched as they walked back to the entrance of Shadowhaunt. She turned to face WizGiz, DuFour, and Griselda. WizGiz was almost weeping at the sight of his friend captive, DuFour WAS weeping, and Griselda's face was somber.

I was absolutely terrified as I was held in the air behind Darkar and Dark Bloom. I couldn't believe it was really Bloom somewhere in there; she was nothing like the sweet, kind girl she used to be. Now she taunted me, jabbing me with her sharp nails, and trying to see which spot on me would make me yelp the loudest.
"Now, my Queen, your throne awaits..." Darkar said as he slowly pushed open the now-unrecognizable door to Faragonda's old office-the new throne room.
I must admit, the thrones were quite impressive. Two equally tall midnight-black thrones adorned with blood red jewels.
"What should we do with you, hm?" The Shadow Phoenix asked me. I gulped loudly but didn't say a word.
"Not talking? Well, a few hours in your old classroom should fix that." My eyes widened in horror as I saw shadow creatures rise up out of the ground and drag me to my old classroom, now a torture chamber.
Dark Bloom waltzed slowly into the room, whip in her hand. She grinned viciously. I was slammed into the wall with a spell, and shackles latched onto my wrists. I let out a scream of terror as my shirt was ripped off, and Dark Bloom slowly raised the whip above my head...
