Disclaimer: If I were to own Winx Club, why would I post Winx Club stuff on ? When I would rather be making new Winx Club shows, comics and potentially games? So it should be very obvious that I don't own this franchise.
Alright. As of writing this 13th of June, I gotta say that I hope I'll upload this fast. I try to get the pokemon chapters out of my way as soon as possible. My standards for that fic are nowhere near as high, so hopefully I'll do it quickly. My summer job is about to come so that'll slow me down. And the other thing is that this chapter is very similar to an actual episode of winx club. And writing an episode with some differences is not as fun as writing your own stuff. Anyway this is kind of a reminder how long this will take to write. I hope I'll do it at an acceptable pace.
As we were walking the path, the destination finally came into view. Red Fountain school for magicians. (Though there was some talk last year to change the name to Red Fountain school for specialists. Not sure if they changed it or not.) The castle that was the building served as a middle ground in between Cloud Tower and Alfea. The building wasn't chaotic or dark at all like Cloud Tower. But it wasn't all girly and disgusting like Alfea either.
It's tan castle walls and relative symmetry meant that it was largely neutral, when it came to the whole school rivalry. Almost functioning as a sanctuary in between the two. Expect it's student population was the most pathetic of the three. Being almost exclusively made out of males without magic. No wonder why they are considering dropping the school for magicians part of the name. The school is an insult to the whole word magic.
But tonight the building is going to experience it's second major attack after the last one, we did back when Darkar unleashed that monster there during one of their parties. I'm still somewhat angry at the fact that he pulled us back from stealing the Codex. I mean there was zero reason to do that. We had the whole thing in the bag. Who pulls back when they are about to win? I mean seriously who does that? After that whole fiasco I lost so much respect for Darkar. So much so that any thoughts of not betraying him went out of the window. He clearly cannot hold the ultimate power and is just a tool to be discarded.
Now though I needed to stop letting me get ahead of myself. Now I need to focus on getting the second piece of the Codex, which would mean I'm halfway there to get the ultimate power. Turning behind I look at Stormy and Darcy, both in their witch forms and ready to do this.
Expect off course they aren't 100%. Stormy clearly had more to drink than she should have yesterday. Which in turn resulted in a not too severe hangover, but a hangover still. Meaning she wasn't 100% focused. And you know what? If it causes her to get killed or get caught, she had it coming. I'm not gonna bail her out if that were to happen. If she doesn't listen to my instructions and pays the price. Well she can't whine about that if it's her own fault.
Then there is also Darcy, who is a harder case to determine. She spent almost entirety of yesterday with her precious puppy dog Riven. Bleh. Just thinking about that name causes my blood pressure to rise. He's been messing with Darcy's head way too much and it makes her unreliable. I like to think that she is more loyal to me and Stormy than to Riven. No she is that is something that will never change. So why am I afraid her second thoughts have gone back?
I then turned to look at both of them. "Now if either one of you is thinking about calling this off. Well I suggest telling me now rather than during the attack." I tell them but turned my attention to Darcy. Looking deep into her eyes to see if I could spot anything, that looked like second thoughts planted by Riven.
"I have come this far already. There is no point in turning back." She responded with a level headed voice. She sounded sincere but the problem was that Darcy was a great liar. One of the few people who could even fool me. But she just confirmed me her commitment. And I'll make sure if she backs out of her word, she will be punished so severely, that even Stormy will start to fear me.
"I have waited for this day for my whole life." Stormy responded and I have no reason to question her honesty. Stormy compared to Darcy wasn't that good of a liar. While she is able to fool many people, one person she can never fool is me. And unlike Darcy who is being influenced by Riven. There is absolutely nothing that is distracting Stormy. Well besides the hangover caused by the alcohol she drank yesterday.
"And can you explain what our plan is?" I asked them to check to see if they remembered the plan I had told them before going into here.
"We are going to create a very dangerous looking mayhem storm. This mayhem storm will be the distraction, so we won't face all of the specialists at once. Because even we can be outmatched by hundreds of them." She started her explanation. Good thing that at least someone remembered it. "You are going to get into the red fountain and me and Stormy are going to join you." She finished.
I gave her an approving nod. It also helped me stop questioning her loyalty. If she was going to betray me, knowing Darcy she wouldn't have bothered to remember my plan.
"Got that?" I asked Stormy who gave an enthusiastic nod in return. "Well let the show begin then." I said as the last moment of any semblance of normalcy in my life ended. Today would mark the beginning of the rise of the Trix. And rest would soon follow.
Walking around the halls of Red Fountain I couldn't help but to think about yesterday. After Bloom and Sky left the cafe, Darcy became awfully quiet. Not that either of us were really that chatty. But Darcy was being so quiet yesterday that it was weird. She mentioned something about her new job making her more distant, which I guess I can understand. Still I feel like there is something she is not telling me.
Maybe I should have asked her more about it? I mean I really don't like to ask stuff like that, but this one seemed important. I'll ask her during the next date, whenever that it s going to happen.
I stopped my walking around at the dorms. Right now being the weekend and I have nothing to really do. Perhaps I should see, if Brandon and Sky forgot to lock their door to mess with them. That's something that'll never get old.
Finding the correct door I tried my luck. And like I hoped the door opened. You'd think they would remember to lock their doors, but then again this is Sky and Brandon we are talking about. Not the smartest men in existence.
As soon as they saw me open the door, they moved to close it before I could enter. But too late for them, as I managed to enter their room before they could do so.
"Riven what are you doing?" Brandon asked me already annoyed.
"What? Can't I see my friends?" I asked them pretending like I was completely obviously to the fact that we have become far from friends.
Sky responded with a tired sigh. I find it somewhat annoying how my methods have lost their edge. It seems that I get Sky more often tired than angry at me. "Riven you made it clear to us a year ago we aren't friends. Now is it too much to ask you to leave the room?" Sky asks me.
"Maybe I want to become friends again." I tell them as I sit on Sky's desk chair without asking him, which got a small reaction from me.
Then Brandon all of a sudden zones out of this whole attempt and is focusing on something else. I didn't pay that much attention to that, as I mainly wanted to get rise out of Sky.
"Riven. I ask you kindly to leave our room. If you don't leave peacefully you are going to force me and Brandon to force you out of here." Sky responds to this situation. I found it somewhat funny on how he thinks he can get rid of me that easily.
"Ah. Guys!" But before I could respond anything Brandon interrupts us.
"What is it?" I ask him annoyed at how he interrupted us.
"You should come here to check this out." Brandon says as me and Sky join him in the balcony. And what we saw was definitely not normal.
It was a giant purple magical orb, releasing it's energy at the school attacking it, almost in the process hitting us in the balcony. It seemed awfully familiar but... no it can't be. I must be confusing it to something else.
"Red Fountain is under attack! Quickly we need to alert Codatorta and Saladin!" Sky says as he begins to quickly handle the situation. Something I had to give him credit for. "Come on let's go!" Sky says and Brandon run out of the room to contact the staff.
I couldn't join them as I was frozen there. Being only able to stare at the orb, the betrayal seeping into me. That attack was Darcy's doing no question about that. And there was a large hint of Stormy's doing of the attack? This had to be a joint effort. But why on world was Stormy and Darcy attacking red fountain? Is this part of the job Darcy has been talking about? The whole thing was unraveling way too quickly. I wanted to pinch myself to see if this was a weird dream.
The further I watched the attack happen the more familiar it I recognized the attack even further. Darcy has showed me this before. It looks threatening but it doesn't do much damage at all. This attack is clearly a distraction of some form. But what are they trying to distract? And what is Icy's role for that of a matter? She had to be with this attack, and I couldn't see her influence in the orb. Maybe she had a part to do with it, but I couldn't spot her doing in it. But still this has to be something more than just an attack, they are after something and I need to find out what it is.
Standing here I had to make a decision. First option was to not do anything to protect Darcy. Which I thought of doing, but my sense of betrayal seeped in. If Darcy was going to do this attack, why didn't she even warn me? D-did she break up with me with this attack? Did she think I was going to stand with her? So that's why she was so quiet yesterday. That's why she has been becoming so quiet ever since she quit her old job. It was hard just standing there as I realized what she had kept from me.
In the end I went with the sense of justice. And it told me to stop Darcy. Before I could go to Codatorta, a warning played around the school about the attack. Sky and Brandon had reached Codatorta who had put this school on high alert. And just as I was leaving I saw fighters most likely piloted by Sky and Brandon start to attack the orb.
I needed to tell Codatorta about the nature of the orb, before the real attack could begin. I couldn't let Sky and Brandon waste time attacking that distraction.
Leaving the room, I started to then run as fast as possible to reach Codatorta's office. Once I was able to reach it after few agonizing and chaotic minutes, I was sorely disappointed. He was nowhere to be seen in his office.
Then I realized. Stupid me. Off course he has moved to the command center. Changing direction I headed to the command center running as fast as I could. Luckily the center wasn't that far away, only a short run and an elevator ride away. I reached it fairly quickly. Letting myself relax just a bit, I entered the center walking not running. I still had a bit of a reputation to keep up.
"That attack is a distraction." I said as soon as the doors to the command center opened. I needed to keep my composure for the attack.
Codatorta didn't turn to look at me, instead focused on directing the fighters. "And what makes you think that Riven?" He asked me without even looking at me, too focused at the situation.
"I recognize who did that attack and the nature of it. It cannot do much harm and looks more imposing. They are using it to distract from something and they are probably after something here." I explained to Codatorta, hoping I could inform him, without telling him directly that it was my girlfriend... well maybe now ex girlfriend doing it. It would certainly make him doubt my claim, if he learned that.
"And what would they be after... my goodness. The Codex!" Codatorta said with increasing worry. "We need to alert the elite guards, to guard the Codex. We cannot let the people behind this attack to get a hold of it!" Codatorta ordered and sent a specialist to alert the guards. "We still need to keep the attack away from the school. Release the dragons and that will hopefully be enough." He ordered.
Then all of a sudden a large crash was heard and the alert system started to warn something went through the roof. When Codatorta heard me he started to look at me all serious, no longer doubting my claims. "Riven and Helia! You need to go with other specialists and stop these intruders!" He ordered us and we nodded in return.
I turned to look at Timmy who was managing the console with Codatorta and other tech savy specialists. "Timmy you coming with us?" I asked him reminding me of the old days.
"Nope. I'm more needed here." He said and I nodded him somewhat disappointed. Would have been good to go back. Still I couldn't waste time and needed to stop the Trix with the new specialist.
When we were about to enter the elevator, it's door opened revealing Sky inside. That made the situation a whole lot more awkward. Still I needed to put our past fights aside and motioned him to stay in the elevator as I and Helia entered it.
The elevator ride sure was awkward as we were prepared to face the intruder. "So any ideas what we are going to be facing?" Sky asked breaking the silence.
Helia in response started to look at me. "I think Riven here has some idea what it is. But I'm as blind to this as you Sky." He responded with a surprisingly neutral voice, I thought he would be more suspicious sounding.
"Well Riven what is it?" Sky then asked me with Helia's new information.
Part of me wanted to play stupid and pretend I had no idea. But it would delay the inevitable so there wasn't any point in hiding it. Besides worst case scenario is that Sky freezes up when he sees the shocking reveal and it might cost us the whole battle. It's way better to get this over in an elevator ride.
"I'm not 100% percent sure, but judging by the attacks it's the Trix." I revealed and could see both Helia's and Sky's faces become shocked. Though Sky was clearly more shocked out of the two.
"And out of the Trix that includes Darcy?" SKy asked in shock. He was seemingly in the same state as I was, when I saw the attack. Almost like even Sky wouldn't expect Darcy betraying me like that.
"If those are really the Trix attacking, then yeah. Darcy is definitely one of the attackers." I responded so calmly even I was surprised how I was able to keep my cool. Then again that just means this school was able to do it's job, when it came to keeping calm in the heat of the battle.
Judging from the expression I knew how he was going to respond. I in turn stopped him before he could say any stupid things. "And before you accuse me of anything. No Darcy never told me or even gave a hint about doing this. And no I'm not part of this attack. I think both me and Darcy know this is the end of our relationship. I'm going to defend red fountain with you, even against her."
Just then the elevator stopped. The doors of it opened and all 3 of us stepped out ready for battle.
"Well we'll find out if it's really them very soon." Sky said as he took out his blue sword and shield. I gave him a nod and prepared my purple sword for the coming battle.
We ran as fast as we possibly could. I then noticed a group of specialists that were going to fight against the Trix and joined them while Helia and Sky were going their own way. Once we were outside the group I was a part of was joined by an another group of specialists and now we had the force that could potentially take on the Trix.
And it didn't take long for us to spot them. And it was indeed them. While I was almost 100% sure it was going to be them, that didn't mean the realization didn't hurt. Darcy really betrayed me.
Still I couldn't confront her about that especially since all of the specialists charged at them and a chase began. I chased them leading them on and eventually it went to the stairs and headed to a balcony, where you could access the other floors. We reached the upper balcony and were left confused. The witches had disappeared somewhere. I looked to my left only to see them floating mid air as they sent the first blasts beginning the battle.
And the battle was over almost as soon as it began. Within few minutes the Trix were able to take out every single specialist expect me. Leaving me to fight all 3 of them alone. Unfortunately for me the Trix were not dumb and flew high enough to the air, that there was no way I could hit them. Well unless I jumped but the problem with that off course was that this fight was taking place at the long balcony. The drop while not lethal would not be nice. And not worth it just for the chance to try to hit one of them.
All I could do was avoid their attacks and hope someone would come to join the fight. This was becoming increasingly harder as the seconds went by, having 3 very skilled witches against you in a cornered situation was not good.
"Why are you doing this Darcy?" I asked her since no one else was around. I needed to know the reason why she would do something like this.
If reacted anyway to my question, she certainly didn't show it. She knows when to be too emotionless. "This is nothing personal Riven. It's just business." She replied in a cold voice as Stormy sent an another attack at me which I dodged.
"So this business is more important than us? What makes it so important?" I asked her anger seeping into my voice. Her betraying me was bad enough, but her indifferent reaction makes it worse.
"What don't you get Riven? There wasn't any us between you and Darcy!" Icy replied her rage at me almost equaling to my rage at them. "You were just a puppy dog to her while you were convenient. And now that it's not it's time to discard you!" she continued and then begins her attack.
'Oh no!' Was my reaction as I saw the attack. The whole balcony floor was becoming a giant ice formation and I was left with no other option than to jump. I jumped over the balcony and hit the ground that was 3 meters (10ft) below landing on my side. Somehow I didn't break any bones but the landing took me out of the fight. Luckily the Trix seemingly thought I was out and left the scene, going after probably the codex.
I tried to get up, but it was nearly impossible. My ribs and left arm, while not broken hurt immensely. Then I heard two steps of footsteps behind me. Sky and Helia saw both me on the ground and noticed where the witches were going. "Brandon the witches are heading for the Veritas chamber! You have to stop them before it's too late!" He commed Brandon and then turned to Helia. "Come on let's get there, before it's too late!" Helia nodded to that and both of them headed to that chamber.
I couldn't let them have all the fun and they sure looked like they needed backup. So trying with all my might I was able to stand up. I grabbed my sword that was on the ground and went after the pair.
"Wait for me!" I cried after them as I began running as fast as I could in my condition. They slowed down a bit allowing me to catch up. As all 3 of us headed to the Veritas chamber to help out Brandon.
While running as fast as we could I turned to look at Sky. "Sky, I'll take back everything I said to you over the past year, especially when it came to defending Darcy." I apologized to him, especially since it seems like my breakup from the specialists, was at least partially manipulated by Sky.
"Apology accepted but we got more pressing matters right now. Prove yourself, that you are sorry with helping Brandon out there." He said as all 3 of us continued running towards the Veritas chamber.
"Right." I said and nodded at him as the Verita chamber drew really close to us.
The chamber door opened, and the first thing we saw, was Brandon collapse to the floor because of Darcy's attack. We just had to be just a few seconds late. Sky seemed to be enraged by what happened to his friend.
"Stop!" Sky shouted at them, seeing what they were doing to his best friend.
This caught Icy's attention who turned to look at us. "Oh isn't it our favorite prince and the puppy dog." Icy replied with a mocking voice, getting under the skin of both me and Sky.
"You aren't going to get away with this." I told her with determination.
Icy almost laughed at me for that. "Stormy how about you show them your new powers?" Icy asked her and then both she and Darcy left the scene, leaving us 3 against Stormy.
"Yessss!" Stormy said with predatory enthusiasm, as she looked at all 3 of us like her prey. Stormy began by sending in a powerful blast attack, which all 3 of us dodged, though Helia fell flat on his rear while trying to dodge it.
Stormy not happy with the fact that we dodged her attack sent an another one, this time aimed directly at Sky. This one looking even more dangerous than the one before. Sky blocked the attack with his shield but the blast was powerful enough and caused him to fall to the ground. Luckily he didn't become unconscious. He just hurt his rear when he fell down.
Helia then tried to hit Stormy with his laser string glove. However Stormy moved just little higher, avoiding Helia's strings. "Nice try!" She said amused and then left the scene, following Icy and Darcy.
"Guys they are headed for the basement!" Helia alerted both of us as he moved to check up on Brandon.
Me and Sky then began heading for the basement but noticed that Helia wasn't coming. He was instead still checking up on Brandon making Sky worried. "He's alright isn't he?" He asked Helia with immense worry in his voice.
"He's unconscious but other than that seems fine." Helia replied to us.
"Well if he's fine then leave him behind!" I ordered Helia. I knew he cared for others but sometimes it can be a detriment for him. "Me and Sky cannot take those 3 alone. we need you Helia!" I continued.
Helia then reluctantly let go of Brandon and came with us. We continued to go around the alleyways of the basement, following Sky's lead who seemed to know where exactly they were headed. It eventually lead to an elevator. Sky opened the elevators doors with his bare hands. Revealing the elevator cable, as the elevator itself was in a lower floor.
"Come on guys, this is our shortcut." He said and grabbed the cable and slid down with it. Me and Helia followed his lead. Sky then stopped at a certain floor, where the doors were open and jumped to that floor. Me and Helia did exactly the same, even though this was very risky and dangerous.
"She's down there!" Helia exclaimed as she saw Stormy heading down.
"We can't stop her." I pointed out due to us not having enough long range weapons. "Come on let's catch up with her."
We followed Stormy but she was much faster than us due to her flying, and got way ahead of us. All 3 of us knew where we were heading. The veritas chamber was getting closer and closer. The chamber where the Codex, the Trix were so after is being held.
"The elite guard are guarding the Veritas chamber?" Helia asked Sky.
"Yeah but with the witches new powers they don't stand a chance." He replied making me realize the gravity of this situation even more.
"If the elite guard don't stand the chance, then what chance do we have?" I asked him concerned about this. I knew Darcy along with the rest of the Trix were powerful. But looks like I underestimated how strong they have become.
"Don't say things like that." Helia replied trying to keep the morale up with all 3 of us.
We continued down the long hallway heading towards the veritas chamber where the Trix would currently be there. Hoping that we just aren't too late. We reached the chamber and the Trix were in the middle of trying to solve the riddle, to unlock the chamber. In front of them were the elite guard, who now had been turned into ice statues.
Sky wasting not time throws his boomerang aiming for Icy's head. His attack misses her instead hitting to a pillar right next to her. "Alright step away!" He tells the witches trying to make them stop doing what they are now.
Icy looks all 3 of us and let's out an amused smirk. "Back for more humiliation?" She asks us. Sky again wastes no time as he began charging at her. He swings his sword but Icy jumps out of the way. And starts flying.
"Platinum icicle!" She says her first attacks name and targets us. Luckily both of us managed to dodge the attack. Darcy then tries to send her wave attack at me, but I duck out of the way.
"Let's finish this!" Stormy shouts but before she could do anything a shot goes past her. Then a hear an all familiar nervous choking.
Looks like Timmy decided to that he didn't want to miss out of all this "fun". Still glad that we have some backup now. "That was a good one!" Helia comments at Timmy's shot.
This seemed to infuriate Stormy. "That was not a good one. This is a good one!" She says and uses her tornado attack. The tornado attack was too big and I couldn't dodge it. It hit me and my body in turn hit both Helia and Timmy sending all 3 of us down. Sky was the only one able to dodge this attack.
The Trix were laughing as Sky begins to charge at Icy again. "Watch this." Icy says as Sky tries to hit Icy but misses his swing. And then it happened.
"Full force blast!" Icy exclaims and hits Sky directly to chest sending him down nearly to the other side of the room. He stays down and doesn't seem to be responding.
Darcy looked shocked at first but quickly regains her composure, going back to her usual self. "Icy you just put that boy in a hundred year sleep." She comments at her as my worry for Sky begins to grow worse and worse.
"Minimum." Icy replies so cold that it was hard to believe she was even a human. "But don't give hope to them Darcy. Because he's never waking up from that one." She replies as my rage towards her. I grab my swords try to charge at the Ice witch. Hoping to avenge for what just happened to Sky. Only to be met by a blast attack from Stormy sending me back to the pile with Helia and Timmy.
"Put a non aggression spell on them Darcy. We don't need your puppy dog attacking us while I try to concentrate." Icy said without even looking at us.
Darcy turned on us 3 and did her spell. Not that any of us felt it's effects as we were all too exhausted to even attack now.
Icy then turned to the riddle, which was a scale, where you needed to put the right object to the other side to unlock the chamber.. Before we charged here she had the feather in hand and was about to put the feather on the other end of the scale. Only to look at the weigh and putting the feather back to the table, with the other possible objects. Like the crystal, sword, scroll, magic wand, quill or the figure. "This is going to take some figuring out." She started her monologue.
"Let's see. The crystal stands for magic. But these loser wannabes don't have no powers. Hmmm." She said turning her attention to the sword. "The sword could stand for their battle skills. However that would be kind of shallow. And these Red Fountain dweebs think they are so deep." She said and then was about to take the crystal.
"Wait." She stopped just as she was about to grab the crystal. "I got it." She said and took the robed figure. "Whenever they have a big event. Their teachers always wear these pompous robes, which I'm sure they think indicates wisdom." She finished and put the figure to the other end of the scale.
The scale tipped and I hoped so much that it would be wrong, and Icy would suffer from the devices defense mechanisms. Unfortunately I was wrong and the scale was perfectly balanced. This opened the underground floor, which would lead the Trix to exactly where they want to be.
"It worked. Looks like Red Fountain equals pomposity." Icy stated and all 3 of them looked at the stairway with hungry eyes.
As all 3 of them disappeared to the chamber I could hear Darcy talking about us. "Don't worry. They are under my non aggression spell. They couldn't hurt us, even if they wanted to." I heard her say to Icy in the chamber.
"The piece of the codex. LD is going to be so proud of me." I heard Icy comment.
All 3 of us were finally starting to get back up. "Sky." I weakly mumbled as I tried to get to him. Timmy on the other hand grabbed his gun and was preparing to fight the Trix, even though Darcy had put the non aggression spell on us. Helia was still taking his time getting up.
I heard some fighting going on in the Codex chamber. "Help it's a kindness spell!" I heard Icy scream at both of the Trix's. "MAKE IT STOP!"
"No don't stop it, this could be good for her." I hears Stormy reply.
"Put that back down!" I heard a very child like voice talk back to the Trix. This must be whoever is fighting those 3. Only to hear a thud noise and the fight there was seemingly over.
"Boy do I love smashing pixies." I could hear Darcy say.
I was inching closer to Sky's body and Timmy was slowly able to walk near the chamber ready to shoot. "Good job D." Stormy congratulated Darcy. "I'm glad you are okay Icy." She continued being two faced to the ice witch.
"Yeah whatever wiatchh. I heard what you said!" Icy shouted angrily at Stormy only to be interrupted by a shot from Timmy, who was somehow able to get around Darcy's non aggression spell.
"How did he do that?" Darcy asked astonished.
Timmy not caring about that points the gun at them. "Alright. Don't move!" He ordered them.
"Timmy careful. We are all under that spell." Helia warns Timmy. I finally having reached Sky try to shake him, fearing that the worst as truly happened. He was down and didn't move at all. No it can't be.
Speaking of the devil, the Trix walked up the stairs not caring about Timmy's order at all. "Don't bother we put a non aggression spell on you." Icy says coldly as she begins to approach Timmy who reacts by taking few steps back.
"Timmy fight against the spell!" Helia exclaims at him.
"I'm trying." He replies desperately.
"You can't fire that thing." Icy says confidently as she seemingly has an another spell prepared for Timmy. "Try pull the trigger." She urges mockingly. Timmy's finger is trembling at the trigger but eventually let's out. Leaving only a defeated Timmy there. "Pathetic." Icy says as she walks past him. "Oh and thanks, for the codex."
I get up as soon as I see Darcy with my sword in hand. "Why are you doing this?" I ask her, determined to get some answers.
"I already told you. It's just business." She replied coldly and was about to walk away. I needed to somehow stop her.
"So our relationship. Our love means so little to you, that you will throw it all away for this." I shout after her causing her to stop.
It was then Icy's turn who seemed to be angered by what I just did. "Do you know what's funny. There was never such a thing as love between you and her. The whole thing has been a one giant sham from the beginning." Icy says and she might as well be throwing ice daggers at me.
I turn to look at her. "What do you mean?" I ask her coldly.
She in turn looks at Darcy. "Do I tell him or you?" She asks her.
"I'll do it." She replies coldly. "Remember how we met Riven? At the day of the rose?" She says and I nod at her. "It was I who caused you to crash your bike." She says. And if I thought this was betrayal, it went even deeper. "And then I put you on a love spell." No it can't be. It can't be.
Icy in turn decided to rub salt into wounds. "Don't you understand Riven. You relationship has been fake from the get go. All you have been is a puppy dog for entertainment. And once you outlived your usefulness, you were discarded." she continues making me so angry that I tried to hit Darcy with my sword. Only my body refusing to listen to me due to Darcy's non aggression spell.
"Now come on girls let's get out of this dump." She says and all 3 of them were flying away. But not before turning to look at me for one last time. "Oh and Riven you may as well forget about Sky. He's never waking up."
SKY! I think to myself and rush to him alongside Timmy and Helia. I touch his body and it feels cold. No! It can't be.
"There's no pulse!" Helia cries out panicked as he touches Sky's arm. No no no no. This cannot happen.
"I'll get help!" Timmy cries out and rushes out of the room, going to get help of medical staff, Saladin or someone. Anyone who can help him. Sky can't... Sky can't do that. He can't die today. This must be a nightmare. Some sick nightmare.
I start to pump his chest to do some CPR. To try to somehow save his life. But it's not working. He's not responding to it.
"Sky come on. Stay with us!" I say as the words coming out of my mouth become more desperate and desperate. "You can't leave now!" I say as a lump starts to form in my throat.
My pumps become slower and slower. The lump becomes even harder to ignore as I pray for some miracle happen.
Helia puts his arm around my back. "He's gone Riven." He says with a sad voice. "He's gone." He says as he's holding back a sob and tears start to form in his eyes.
"Don't say that Helia! Don't say that!" I shout at him as tears start to form in my eyes. "Come on Sky, I have to prove to you that I can change! What about Bloom not that she's back in your life? Stay with us Sky, Don't go!" I say and in a sprint of a moment begin to press on his chest as fast as possible.
Eventually my efforts became more tired and tired. And still no response. "No." I cried out as the first sob escaped my mouth. Helia just keeps his hand around my back, not letting go. "He's not gone is he?" I ask him desperately only to be met by his crying eyes.
"He's gone." I say and then the tears come out. "He's really gone."
And then all the waterworks burst out. Before this I made sure no one, ever saw me cry. But here in the Veritas chamber with only Helia to witness this happening, I broke down. I cried my eyes out, I screamed for Sky to come back. But it was useless.
Because he was gone.
I feel like I shouldn't put an end AN to this chapter but I'll do it anyway. Originally Sky was not going to be dead in this story. But once I watched season 2 episode 10, I realized there was no way Sky could have survived. Watch that episode and without Bloom there Sky would have died. And that's exactly what happened right here. Things really took a dark turn in this chapter. Now I'll reply to the reviews.
Luiz4200: Thanks for pointing that typo out. I'll hopefully fix it but fixing a typo is a pain in the rear with this website.
Jean d: Can you now see why the relationship wouldn't work out? Before I watched the episode for this fic, BloomXSky might have happened. Maybe it would only be mentioned in the epilogue but still. But after watching the episode there was no way Sky would have survived that without Bloom.
darthas: This is really going to send Bloom into rage. But yeah it's a common problem with dark Bloom stories that Bloom becomes dark Bloom way too quickly. I think there are only 2-3 dark Bloom stories where this is not the case. And all of those are incomplete.
Hivedragon: I replied to most of the review by PM. However funny thing is that this is the second time you have reviewed, you read the story from chapter 1. First with when I released chapter 4 and now with ironically 10 chapters later with chapter 14.
