Note To Readers: Hey everyone! Thanks for the wonderful comments and the suggestions! I'm really flattered that you all think of my fanfiction so highly. It started out just for fun I never would have imagined so many people would like it! I do agree with the fact that Nick pretty much ruined Winx Club for me. Roxy is my second favorite Winx next to Bloom so even come Season 7 I was still heavily disappointed she was so minor. I hope season 8 will be better but I'm not holding my breath. As for Yugioh despite the very last season, a lot went unexplained. Most of you going back to Winx have made it pretty clear you didn't like Sky. Honestly. I found that he didn't trust Bloom half of the time he was with her. So who better to end up with Kaiba the master of the Blue-Eyes Dragon than Princess Bloom Of Sparks The Keeper Of The Dragon Fire!? SO Here we go! Chapter 31!
Chapter 31: Domino City
"Here we are!" a red-headed male with thick glasses exclaimed as he walked out of a portal along with two other men. "Well, at least this time we didn't have to use that awful prototype that Timmy rigged up for us last time..." another male with reddish violet hair muttered afterward with a scoff. "Got that right dude!" a brown-haired male followed. "Hey! You try to calibrate a portal to exact coordinates!" Timmy argued. "Chill man we're just kiddin...so just where were we supposed to meet the girls anyways?" Brandon questioned as he looked around the unfamiliar city. "Musa said it some cafe...uh The Duelist...I think it was called..." Riven muttered.
"Musa said it some cafe...uh The Duelist...I think it was called..." Riven muttered. "Well the only way we'll locate the place of destination is by looking around...meanwhile I'll try to log the coordinates in by hero's assistant and get us some more straightforward directions..." Timmy advised. "Or we could just ask someone..." Riven muttered before he walked over and pulled over a young man. "Oh boy..." Brandon groaned before Riven came back. "Here said it was just around the corner...come on..." Riven urged before the other boys followed. "Darn it! And I had just finished my calculations too..." Timmy pouted before they finally arrived. Slowly the specialists walked in and looked around in awe.
"Check it out!" Timmy exclaimed as he saw painted on the walls were all kinds of different creatures. "And look they even have statues." Riven pointed out a Red Eyes Black Dragon spewing out a red mixture from its mouth that kids were placing a cup underneath it catch it in. "Yeah, they're playing some kind of game..." Brandon observed as he watched an arena nearby where duelists were playing out school with the chosen set of cards. "That looks similar to the card game Sky was playing..." the squire muttered as he watched. The music was blaring out of the surround sound speakers and flashed strobe lights over the bar where one could purchase food and drink. Of course, it was all Duel Monster themed. Near the rear, there was a machine where players could even trade cards or earn points towards the ones displayed near the counter.
"UGH, I CAN'T HEAR MYSELF THINK!" Timmy yelled over the music. "Remind ME where we're here again!?" the redhead questioned before he paused and caught sight of a strange device that he had never seen before. It rested on the counter as one of the young duelists placed it down to order some grub. "...Uh oh...the Tim miester has that look in his eye..." Riven spoke up before Timmy casually took it off the counter. "I've never seen anything like it...I wonder how it works..." looking both ways Timmy snuck off to the back immediately taking it apart with his handy set of tools. "And there he goes..." Brandon finished. "Yep...still I gotta say this is way better than the Frutti Music Bar!" Riven grinned.
"Yep...still I gotta say this is way better than the Frutti Music Bar!" Riven grinned. "Dude for a guy ANY place is better than the Frutti Music Bar!" Brandon laughed. "Definitely more my style!" Riven exclaimed. "Too bad Sky's off on that KingsHood seminar, then again may it is for the best that he's away for awhile. Man, you should have seen him! He was obsessed with this CEO of Kaiba Corp. He even took up Duel Monsters for the sake of beating him! Oh, and did I mention he was skipping his royal duties to do it too? Needless to say, pops was NOT happy." Brandon muttered.
"And let me guess who got blamed..." Riven began with a snicker. "Who else!? Me of course!" Brandon huffed. "Maybe some time to himself will clear that paranoid head of his! Honestly, I bet Bloom doesn't even know the half of it!" the brown haired male exclaimed before he made a face as Timmy was discovered. "HEY HEY HEY! YOU CAN'T JUST START TAKING THINGS APART IN HERE!" one of the employees cried. "Oh no..." Brandon groaned. "B-But I was just taking it apart to see how it functioned! I'll put it back together!" Timmy cried before blew a circuit breaker in the Duel Disk it blowing up in his face.
"Oops..." Timmy laughed nervously his face now covered with soot and his red hair sticking straight up. "MY DUEL DISK!" the duelist cried before he narrowed his eyes. "That Timmy..." Riven shook his head before they watched their friend fork over the money for the repairs. "Well if the girls don't find us here now no one will..." Brandon muttered. "It's not my fault! That technology was very strange...there should have been a pulse applicator along with a halo disk to produce the realistic holograms...but I couldn't find it anywhere..." Brandon only patted Timmy on his shoulder.
"On Earth, they have a saying...if you break it you buy it...or did you forget about that car we worked on...?" he told Timmy. "Oh yeah, that thing was a piece of junk well until Nabu worked his magic on it. Those were the days." Riven smiled softly though he still missed his best friend dearly. "Oh! Don't look now guys but the girls are here!" Brandon warned. "Oh great..." Timmy groaned as he tried to fix his hair. "We're here girls!" Musa exclaimed and entered the Duel Monsters Cafe moving to the beat as she walked through the door.
"Oh my! I love this rhythm! It just makes me wanna dance!" Musa beamed happily swaying back and forth drawing attention from the other customers in the store. "Honestly?" Stella questioned as she followed from behind and looked all around her. "What's there to like? It's a total geek fest plus where's the style!? No No this is all WRONG! But that's ok! We can fix this!" the Faerie of the Sun And Moon exclaimed as she summoned her power. "UH OH!" Brandon cried and quickly ran over intercepting his girlfriend with a hug.
"STELLA! There's the most beautiful Faerie in the whole world!" Brandon exclaimed enthusiastically. "Brandon!" Stella smiled back and hugged her boyfriend. "It's so good to see you!" the blonde beamed happily. "Phew disaster averted..." Timmy wiped the sweat from his brow as Techna came over to him. She took a look at his face before she laughed as well as he did. "I'm sure that's a perfectly good explanation for your new...look..." she teased. "I'll say." Musa giggled before she hugged Riven in a tight squeeze.
"Just look at this place!? It's incredible!" the Faerie of music exclaimed as she spun around. "If only there was Karaoke then we'd really get this place rocking!" Musa exclaimed. "Yeah me and the guys were just talking about how awesome the Cafe is! It's too bad Helia couldn't be here it'd be great for his creativity. With all the monsters and stuff..." Riven scratched the back of his head nervously. Flora followed Layla inside as she noticed the darkly skinned faerie with a forlorn expression on her face.
"Layla...are you alright...?" Flora asked softly concerned about her best friend. Layla paused before she looked up at the Faerie of nature and offered a smile. "Yeah I'm fine...where's Helia?" Layla questioned. "I don't see him with the guys." Flora frowned softly. "Helia was summoned to the castle in Lymphia to join the Orchid Knight's. He and Princess Crystal are really close, he couldn't very well refuse such a high honor from the royal family..." the tanned faerie murmured solemnly.
"Did you tell him you were coming here?" Layla questioned as she leaned against the wall. Flora only shook her head. "I couldn't. I didn't want to disturb him. Plus he took off for Lymphia so fast and then this summer internship at Magix..." the faerie of nature frowned sadly before Layla placed her hands on Flora's shoulders gently. "Well us girls gotta stick together then!" Flora smiled softly. "Thank you, Layla..." "Guys since we're all together now I think we should try and find Bloom." the faerie of the water spoke up. "Oh right!" Stella exclaimed as she finally let go of Brandon. "Uh...where did Bloom say she was staying again...?" the blonde questioned.
"Well, Sky said Bloom was staying at Kaiba Corp." Brandon mused. "Well then off to Kaiba Corp we go!" Musa exclaimed with a bright smile before everyone laughed. Altogether the Winx and their boyfriends made their way towards Kaiba Corp headquarters. "Woah! Would you look at that!? It's HUGE!" Layla exclaimed as her eyes sparkled at the massive glass building that seemed as if it reached even past the sky itself. "So much for Bloom being easy to find." Musa murmured.
"Well, what would you expect from a corporation that literally runs Domino City?" Techna laughed before she used her phone to try and map and map of the building's perimeters. "I guess someone fired the coordinator because it looks like part of it has been torn apart." Stella pointed out. "Yeah, you got a point...I see boxes and some equipment over in piles just a little further back." Layla observed. "I think I see someone up ahead I'm going to go check," Flora told the others and hurried to get closer to the glass building.
Nearby she noticed two young men one of them hauling a black leather couch. Well more like dragging it. He huffed out of breath nearly falling over before Joey paused as he saw a young tanned skinned woman with a pink and green frilled skirt headed his way. "Hello there." came a soft-spoken voice as the blonde's hazel eyes met with the brown haired faerie's emerald green ones. "Uh...hello..." Joey murmured before he gasped accidentally dropping the couch's leg on his foot. "GAH! YOUCH! OH MY ACHIN!" a gasp escaped from Flora's lips as she made a face and hurried over to him.
"Oh no! Are you ok!? Does it hurt?" the Faerie Of Nature asked the blonde softly concerned. Joey groaned as he held his foot. "Yeah...peachy keen..." the blonde grumbled. "I just smashed meh toe droppin dat prick Kaiba's expensive ass couch on um!" Joey cursed under his breath. "Wait did you say Kaiba?" Flora questioned as her eyes suddenly widened. "Yeah why?" the blonde raised his brow as he rubbed his foot groaning. "I'm sorry to bother you but could you please tell me if there's a girl named Bloom that is staying here in this place?" the tanned faerie inquired with a hopeful gaze. Joey paused as he just looked at Flora.
"Just who are ya's anyways? Ya a friend of Bloom's?" Joey questioned. A small smile appeared on Flora's face before she nodded softly. "Yes. My name's Flora. Actually, me and the others are all friends of Bloom and we were hoping that we could pay her a visit today. So do you know where she is then?" the Faerie of Nature asked as the other girls walked over and joined Flora. Joey looked at all of the girls and the guys before he swallowed hard. "Oh boy...YUG! WE GOT A PROBLEM!" the blonde yelled towards the window before Yugi opened the window up above them. "...Uh...I see..." Yugi murmured as he observed the small crowd looking up at him. "Alright, i'll be just a minute!" Yugi exclaimed and quickly joined Joey on the ground.
"So...they are..." Yugi began as he looked around. "Day say dat dare friends of Bloom's," Joey spoke up. "Uh, we are!" Stella exclaimed. "With Faerie's THIS fashionable how could we not be? Now, where is she? I know you know where Bloom is!" "Uh, Stella...maybe we should just ask politely instead of demanding them to take us to her..." Techna suggested before the Faerie of the Sun and Moon puffed up her cheeks. "Yeah really. If we get removed from the property it'll be your fault, Stella..." Musa muttered. "Is she even here?" Brandon questioned. "Uh well, she-" Joey began before he watched Yugi as one of the girls grabbed a hold of Yugi and started to nuzzle him.
"OH! You are just so cute! I just wanna cuddle you!" Layla giggled as she squeezed Yugi tight him blushing like crazy. Atem only laughed amused at the display of affection. "GAH!" Joey exclaimed. "Just wat da ya think ya doin ta my bud!?" the blonde exclaimed. "He IS kinda cute like a tiny teddy bear," Stella admitted as she came over and poked at Yugi's cheeks. "I'm sorry they can be a little excitable..." Flora apologized to Joey. "You were saying about Bloom?" Techna picked off where Joey started. "Well how do I put dis..." the blonde began. "She was here but den she took off with rich boy...I mean Kaiba several hours ago. Haven't seen either of dem since den!" Joey told them. Yugi slowly freed himself from the two girls flustered from the sudden glomping.
" A lot has been going on you see." Yugi continued. "They probably just needed to get away for awhile. Nothing you need be worried about...probably..." his voice trailed off. Though deep down he wasn't so sure. Nor was Joey. His gut was giving him a BAD feeling. "Yug what if day ran into those Wizards again...?" the blonde questioned before Yugi narrowed his eyes. "You don't think..." his voice trailed off before the girls all let out a panicked gasp. Before any of them could question what they just heard Mokuba came out of the glass building with a worried expression on his face.
"YUGI! JOEY! SOMETHING'S WRONG! MY BROTHER'S NOT ANSWERING HIS PH-Phone..." Mokuba's voice trailed off as he noticed the party had suddenly gotten a lot bigger than just Joey or Yugi. "Uh, who are all these people?" Mokuba questioned. "Bloom's friends. They came to see her." Yugi murmured. "Oh...well any friend of Bloom's is a friend of mine...oh and my brother's of course! Welcome to Kaiba Corp!" Mokuba grinned. "And this is little boy...?" Stella questioned. "Mokuba. Kaiba's younger brother. Oh and Co-CEO of Kaiba Corp." Yugi introduced."And I'm not little either! But besides all that Yugi Joey I need you to come with me right away to the control center!" Mokuba told them.
"Alright, Mokuba. Lead the way." Yugi nodded. "Yeah!" Mokuba nodded before Yugi and Joey and hurried inside. "Let's go after them. We need to find out what is going on!" Layla exclaimed. "Yes especially if Bloom is with Kaiba...Bloom could be in trouble too!" Flora cried worriedly. Brandon looked at the boys. "Well, what are we waiting for let's move!" Riven urged before the Winx and the specialist followed after Mokuba and the guys. Mokuba sat in his chair as he started working the keyboard. "No matter what I do Yugi I can't get big bro to pick up his phone! I was in the building...and so was Yugi...Joey when you last saw Seto what was he doing?" Mokuba asked with an urgency in his voice. He was so worried.
"Hmm...da very last time I laid my eyes on Kaiba he took off with Bloom on his motorcycle...after dat nuthin!" Joey exclaimed before Mokuba's eyes widened. "His motorcycle! Why didn't I think of that!?" Mokuba gasped and quickly pulled up the GPS programmed into the tracking system installed on the motorcycle. "Since the bike was made with Kaiba Corp technology I should be able to pinpoint Seto's exact location...though I'll admit I'm not as familiar with the new system like Seto is...but I'll give it my best shot!" Mokuba exclaimed. "Fantabulous..." Stella muttered with a heavy sigh.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Techna questioned Timmy as he nodded. "Yeah go for it Techna!" the redhead exclaimed before Techna snuck in her magic into the computer's system before the program began to run all on its own with just a single press of a button. "No way!" Mokuba exclaimed completely in awe. In just a matter of minutes, the program was fully functional and accessible to the young Kaiba brother. "YEAH! Alright, I'm in! Now let's see here...the bike's last location was...some placed called The Frutti Music Bar in...Gardenia...ok there's NO way my big bro would ever be caught dead there! Must've been Bloom's idea..." Mokuba concluded.
"Aint dat Bloom's hometown Yug?" Joey inquired. "If I recall that's where she told us she was from." Yugi murmured. "And we know exactly where that is!" Flora exclaimed happily. "We sure do!" Musa smiled before they started to glow all except Layla. "Guys wait!" Riven called out before Joey spoke up. "Girls Girls It's ok we know...Bloom told us..." the blonde told everyone. "You're Faerie's too aren't you...?" Yugi asked softly. "Yes...we are..." Layla confessed. "They'll be plenty of time to talk later but now..." "We have to go find Bloom and Kaiba!" Techna interrupted. "But I don't think it's wise to take off all at once." "Yeah, I mean what they end up coming back?" Stella questioned.
"I'll go!" Layla exclaimed. "Good idea it'll be less noticeable if only one of us goes. Then if Layla does find something she can let us know via communicator." Techna suggested. "Leave that to me!" Stella exclaimed and shot a burst of magic on Layla's wrist before it formed into a bracelet and gave everyone else one as well. "You think dis is a good idea Yug?" Joey questioned. "I don't know Joey...I just don't know...uh Layla was it? Would it be ok if I went with you?" he asked as he looked into the dark skinned faerie's deep blue eyes with his scarlet ones. "Sure but you better hold on tight...WINX BELIEVIX!" Layla cried out before she transformed and grabbed a hold of Yugi. "WINX ZOOMIX!" the faerie of the water called out and in the blink of an eye, she was gone. Riding the magic trail both Yugi and Layla were soon brought into the warehouse only to find Kaiba and Froste.
"KAIBA!" Yugi cried in a panic before Layla hurried over and looked at the CEO. However, though Kaiba was conscious he couldn't remain as much passing out as soon as Layla hovered over him. "He's unconscious...and it looks like there's an Ice Spirit as well...wait a sec I recognize that spirit! It's Froste! Miss Faragonda must've come here..." Layla put two and two together.
"Yes she did...but she left..." Yugi murmured as he got down to Kaiba and checked his vitals. "Oh thank goodness he's ok..." he murmured as tears filled his eyes relieved. "Good...but...if Kaiba's here then where is Bloom...I think it's time to take a look into the past!" the Faerie of water exclaimed. Yugi turned his head back towards her. "You can actually do that?..." Yugi questioned before he looked at Atem. {Faerie's hold many unique powers as they achieve new transformation that leads to even greater abilities than the previous one...it would seem these young girl pocesses Believix...a form only achieved once humans believe in their existence...magic spreading to those whom's place is on the Earth...} Atem softly smiled to himself. {Daphne and I once dreamed of such a world...where both magic and the Earth people could exist in harmony...but we both perished long before that dream was realized...} the Pharoah told Yugi softly.
"...Well, I STILL believe it can happen..." Yugi told Atem. {Yugi...} "Yugi is everything ok?" Layla asked as she got a little bit closer to him. "Yeah. So how exactly are you going to look into the past?" "Using my Believix powers...WINX TRACIX!" the faerie of water cried out before she transformed the wings on her back and took Yugi and herself back into the past to see exactly what had happened there. In the flashback she saw Bloom, Roxy and Kaiba all gathered in there talking to a stranger unknown to Layla witnessed him attacking the others. Kaiba managed to buy enough time for Roxy and Bloom to escape into the White Circle's passageway before Kaiba was blown away but not before Froste barely managed to protect the CEO. Unfortunately, Layla's worst fears were realized as she caught a glimpse of Orgron and the Wizards Of The Black Circle. Overwhelmed by just the sight Layla lost the strength in her legs and fell to her knees under the weight of the remainder of her grief. " "LAYLA!" Yugi cried as he barely caught her as she trembled in his arms.
