"Who says the evil dudes will attack?" Bianca asked, flopping down onto her bed. After the long speech made by Faragonda, all she wanted to do was sleep, but something nagged at the back of her brain saying that Faragonda was right.
"Not me," Sandra muttered, drinking her glass of ice-cold water.
"Hey, that water looks cold. How do you know Icy didn't have anything to do with it?" Bianca joked. Something like realisation dawned on Sandra's face, and then she went pale.
"The water's never been this cold before," Sandra stammered doing her best to get the words out. Bianca suddenly realised that Sandra was right. Sandra had poured a glass on a medium setting. So why else would it be cold? It had to be Icy. Just as the girls were going to the door to tell Faragonda, the lights went out. They screamed.
"Bloom, where are you?" Flora cried her voice filled with fear and panic.
"Right here!" Bloom said walking into the main room. She was listening to music on her iPod and hadn't noticed the blackout.
"We need to get out of here; it's dangerous when it's dark!" Flora whispered urgently, dragging the confused redhead out of their room. On the way out they bumped into Stella, Musa, Aisha and Tecna, who were all almost as confused as Bloom. Flora was the only one panicking, which was why they ended up cold and tired outside the school building.
"You're crazy!" Musa cried, picking at her nails.
"Valtor, I think we should attack now!" Icy hissed, imagining screaming fairies running in terror.
"We can't attack yet!" Valtor snapped at the ice witch. Icy stepped back, she soon recovered from that and went back to her sisters.
"Why does she take orders from you, and not me?" Lord Darkar questioned angrily.
"Because she knows who's better at fighting and more powerful," Valtor smirked, resting his elbows on a map of Magix. Lord Darkar would've made a retort, but an alarm went off. "That would signalise the fact that it's time to attack."
"You bet it is," Darcy sneered, coming into the room with her sisters in pursuit. "Now, let's go and beat some stupid fairies!"
"Sierra!" Sandra called down the dark hallway. No answer. She walked on slowly, making sure to be as quiet as possible.
"Sandra?" a helpless voice cried from nearby. Sandra ran over to where she thought the voice came from and stumbled over something large.
"Sandra!" the voice whispered, hugging her. Sandra made a light somehow and saw a girl with long black hair and grey eyes, Bianca. The two girls weren't sure how they had been separated, but they intended to stay at each other's side for the rest of the day. Sandra and Bianca made their way further along until they found a door leading to the exit. The two fairies transformed before walking outside to find all the other fairies gathered there.
"Come on, Icy!" Stormy yelled, grabbing her sister and pulling her after her in anger.
"Calm down, Stormy! I'm coming," Icy muttered through gritted teeth. She had been thinking about the fairies, and how they wouldn't be able to defend themselves. Icy almost felt bad. Instead she forced herself to remember the painful memory. It hurt thinking about it, but it was the only way to stop thinking about those stupid nice fairies.
"Of course, because Stormy obviously isn't dragging you," Darcy snickered. Icy glared at her, but her mind was swirling with emotions. They had been planning this attack for ages, they couldn't back out now. But still, Icy felt something which some might call sympathy for the harmless fairies, or perhaps even dread for what was about to happen.
"Bloom!" Sierra yelled, running over to Bloom and the other Winx.
"What's up?" Bloom asked, turning away from her friends to see a scared-looking Sierra. She didn't say anything, just pointed her finger upwards. On any normal day, Bloom would've taken it as a joke, but the look on the girl's face was enough to change her mind. Bloom looked up and her heart sped up as the world around her slowed down. She stumbled backwards and Flora ran slowly to her, looking up as she reached Bloom. Flora screamed, which got everyone's attention.
"They're attacking our school!" Sandra cried out in disbelief. Icy, Darcy, Stormy, Valtor and Lord Darkar flew downwards, and darkness descended upon Alfea as the powers of evil overwhelmed good. The fairies had no idea how they would be able to defeat the Trix, Lord Darkar or Valtor, but they would stand strong and defend their school and themselves for all it was worth.
