I don't own Winx Club or Saints Row. Also, it's been pointed out to me that, when Viola told Pierce to get to the Pixie Dust in the last chapter, in my excitement to get the chapter posted, I forgot to mention that the Pixie Dust was actually in Magix, not Gardenia. As such, in this chapter, I will try and imply that a second one has opened in Gardenia. As always, thanks to Midnight Lost for allowing me to write this. Anyways, on with the story!
Outside the Pixie Dust, Gardenia
Everyone stepped out of the Bear APC except for Pierce and Shaundi.
"OK, you guys make sure we don't run into Mrs Frankenstein again. If this 'friend' is as reliable as Viola says she is, we'll be in and outta there pretty fast."
"Got it, Boss. We'll keep you covered. Have fun." Shaundi said. The Boss walked over to Viola as she knocked on the door. A small sliding hatch opened, before Viola showed the man on the other side a mark on the palm of her hand.
"Your room's ready. She's waiting for you." The man said. He then opened the door and everyone walked inside. Viola then led everyone into a large room at the back of the building, where they quickly either sat down or went for something to eat.
"So, what exactly is this place? I'm guessing it's got some kind of unofficial 'no humans' policy." The Boss asked, slightly afraid, although she didn't want to admit it.
"What gave you that idea?"
"Well, everyone in this place has been staring at us since we got here."
"I'll admit that, despite its name, the Pixie Dust isn't exactly... Friendly to humans, but if you know the right people, you can get treated like a VIP here."
"I can see that. You showed the guy at the door your hand and the door opened within a second. What exactly is that mark meant to be, anyway?"
"Oh, this? I'd tell you, but..."
"But you'd have to kill me? I got it."
"Actually, I was gonna say that I'd rather wait for my friend to get here, so she can explain."
"How much does your friend KNOW about all this?"
"Well, that depends on exactly how much you WANT to know." A mystery voice said, standing in the doorway. The Boss and Viola turned around to see a tall girl with crimson eyes, long, light brown hair, and wearing a short green top, like Viola's, a pink skirt and red platform shoes.
"Flora! How are you? Come on, sit down." Viola said. Flora did just that, sitting down next to her old friend.
"So, did you enjoy your meal?"
"Why? Are my fangs showing?"
"No, but your eyes are red instead of amber, so that's a giveaway."
"Wait. Fangs? Red eyes? You're a vampire, aren't you?" The Boss asked.
"Yes, I am. Why do you ask?"
"No reason. I'm just curious."
"That's fine. It's only natural. Besides, in about a half hour, they'll change to amber, anyway."
"Right."
"Anyway, I suppose you're wondering why you had every pair of eyes in the building on you from the moment you guys walked in."
"Actually, I kinda am... Wait. How did you know that? Viola, did you tell her?" The Boss asked, confused, only for Viola to smile and shake her head.
"No. I have telepathy. I can read minds." Flora said.
"O...K, then. That's... totally normal." Viola smiled after hearing this, but her smile instantly disappeared when, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a familiar face.
"Flora, we gotta go now."
"Why?"
"Stormy's here, and I don't think she came to introduce herself to The Boss. Her and about 12 vampires are draining everyone in the building. It's a good thing I put a spell on this room to stop them getting in."
"WHAT?! THAT BITCH! TO THINK, I WENT TO ALL THAT TROUBLE TO GET HER RESURRECTED!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Rewind a sec. Who the hell's Stormy?" The Boss asked, angry that, whatever was going on, Viola and Flora were leaving her out of it.
"Remember Icy?" Viola said
"Who's Icy?"
"The one you called Frankenstein's Bitch."
"Oh, her. How could I forget? She destroyed my eight-hundred-dollar phone and almost killed Kinzie!"
"Yeah, that's her. Stormy is her sister. She's just as bad."
"Oh, you mean the one electrocuting everyone out there? The one that looks like she's having the world's worst bad hair day?"
"Yeah. Me and Flora are going out there to see what's going on."
"I'm coming with you, then."
"No. It's too dangerous."
"Viola's right. If Stormy casts a spell at you, you'd be defenceless!" Flora said, only for The Boss to pull out a pair of Platinum T3K Urban sub-machine guns.
"Bullshit! I may not have magic, but I can still fight! In case you've forgotten, Viola, the 2 of us just survived a FUCKING PLANE CRASH!" The Boss yelled, furious that Flora and Viola doubted her. Realising she would only end up losing the argument, Viola sighed.
"Fine, you can come with us, but stay behind us, and be careful."
"That's what I wanna hear. Now, shall we?" The Boss said, causing Viola and Flora to smile. The Boss, Viola and Flora stood up and walked to the door of the VIP room.
"OK, 1, 2..." The Boss kicked the door open and began firing at the vampires. Most of her bullets hit their targets, instantly killing them. However, Stormy was able to deflect any bullets aimed at her with a well-timed spell.
"You shouldn't have done that. Time to die, filthy human!" Stormy said, beginning to approach her. Getting a strange feeling that Stormy had a short fuse, The Boss decided to use that to her advantage.
"You may be the one with magic powers, but at least I don't have hair that looks like the result of a tree having sex with a cloud!"
"DIE!" Stormy screamed, before throwing a ball of lightning at The Boss, who quickly dodged it. Stormy then used her vampiric strength to rip a bolted-down table from the floor and hurl it at The Boss. Expecting the table to have a very quick and unpleasant meeting with her head, The Boss tried to move, only to find her legs frozen to the floor by none other than Frankenstein's Bitch herself, Icy. Knowing now that her death was inevitable, The Boss closed her eyes, ready to meet her fate. However, that never happened. She slowly opened her eyes to see the table floating around 6 inches from her face.
What the...? My head should be a flattened mess on the wall by now!
"Get away from her!" A mystery voice said. The Boss turned to her right, only to see Kinzie stood, side-by-side, by a woman wearing similar clothes to Icy and Stormy, except that her clothes were a dark purple. She also had brown hair, slightly darker than Flora's, and amber-coloured eyes.
"Wha... Three of you?! This just keeps getting better."
"I'm not here to help them. I'm here to help you." The woman said.
"ARGH, DARCY! YOU TRAITOR!" Icy said, only to be immediately knocked out with a well-timed spell from Kinzie.
"Please, shut up." Kinzie said, earning a chuckle from The Boss.
"Uh, mind helping me with the ice?"
"Oh, right. Sorry." Kinzie said, before using her powers to thaw out the ice around The Boss' legs.
"Thanks. So who's she?"
"Oh, this is Darcy. Darcy, I'm sure you've already heard of The Boss and her work."
"Surprisingly, I haven't." Darcy said, trying and failing to hide the fact that she was blushing.
"Nothing that can't be explained over a drink. I can get you a bottle of blood if you'd like. My treat." The Boss said.
"Sure. I'd like that." With that, The Boss put her arm around Darcy and walked to the bar, making sure to look through the window of the VIP room and give Viola and Flora an 'I told you so' look on the way. This only caused Viola to flip her off.

Bloom was stood over a beaten and bloodied Icy.
"Flora said I couldn't kill you. She didn't say anything about teaching you what happens when you fail me!"
"Bloom, I'm sorry. It won't happen again." Icy managed to utter.
"You're right. It won't." Bloom said. She prepared to incinerate Icy with a large fireball, but, as with the table at Gardenia's Pixie Dust, it stopped in mid-air.
"What the...?!" Bloom said, shocked. Slowly, the realisation dawned on her.
"No. No way! Only those with fairy magic can use telekinesis like that!" Icy quickly took her chance and teleported off of the planet, causing the fireball to hit the floor of the Royal Palace and leave a colossal scorch mark on it.
"What's wrong? Is it something to do with that fairy?" A mystery voice said. The man behind the voice then walked to Bloom's side. He was wearing a purple shirt, a pair of small purple shades and a blue pair of jeans.
"Yes, it is. I just... I don't understand. Remember when I went to Steelport after that whole business with the Sanguine Coven, and we picked up that strange energy signature?"
"Yeah. How could I forget? I think we had half the US Army on our asses before we got away." This earned a small chuckle from Bloom.
"Well, it turns out that the 'strange energy signature' was my best friend. Her name is Kinzie, and..."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Kinzie? Short, fiery hair? Glasses? FBI jacket? Has a short fuse?"
"Yeah. That sounds like her."
"I think I saw her that day."
"Well, whether you did or not, I need you to find her and bring her here."
"Are we talkin' alive or dead?"
"Alive."
"Ah, you're no fun. I'll get her for you and be back here ASAP."
"Thanks, Johnny. I'll make sure to bring a few prisoners up for your payment. O-Negative, right?"
"You got it! Anyway, no problem. We're cousins. Besides, did you really think I was gonna let some Belgian nut keep me outta the game? It was just a case of faking my death and disappearin' long enough that no-one would suspect me." Johnny said, smiling, which exposed his fangs.
Well, I don't know about you, but that was one hell of a plot twist. The chapters I write keep getting longer and longer. Anyway, let me know what you think, either by review or PM.
