Chapter 32: Ambushed
Tir Nan Og
Roxy and Bloom finally arrived at the Isle of Tir-Nan-Og. It was a beautiful place filled with a deep blue sky and surrounded in green. Flowers blossoming in the drops of sunlight that showered down upon them. Even the birds sang with a melody carried by the gentleness of the wind. Roxy smiled as she and Bloom looked around. "It's so peaceful here..." she murmured softly. "Yeah. It's a wonderful place especially now that the Earth Faerie's gave up their thirst for revenge..." Bloom murmured before Roxy frowned. "...Roxy..." "Bloom...will gaining this new power really going to help stop the Wizards Of The Black Circle? Roxy asked worriedly. "...I don't know Roxy but I want to believe in what Daphne told me...no I HAVE to believe it..."Bloom muttered as she narrowed her eyes.
"Well then if we're going to go see Nebula we'll have to go up the hill to reach the castle up there." Roxy pointed upwards. "Good thing we have wings that would be a long climb!" Bloom exclaimed. "Then what are we waiting for!? Let's get up there!" Roxy offered a smile before they both transformed and flew all the way up to the top of the castle. They didn't realize right behind them the Wizards emerging from the vortex. Ogron grinned as he looked around along with the rest of them. Yami Bakura looked around and scowled. He didn't care from all the positive energy lingering through the atmosphere.
"Ah! It feels so good to back now don't it gentlemen? It's oh so peaceful...a faerie paradise truly...which makes it all the more perfect for bringing this quaint little island to ruin." Ogron exclaimed. "Ogron look up there!" Anagan pointed upwards before Ogron turned his gaze towards the direction of the faeries. "Ah, we're in luck fellows! Why don't we give little Roxy a welcome home gift?" the Wizards Of The Black Circle glowed purple before they injected a dark essence into the air. Bloom paused as Roxy did too.
"Did you feel something Roxy?" Bloom asked. "...Kinda a chill now that you mention it...what do you think it was?" the pink haired faerie questioned. "I dunno but it feels-" the redhead was cut off as the area around them transfigured into a closed in area surrounded by gravestones with spirits seeping out of them. It was like being taken into a mausoleum only it was weaved together. "BLOOM! THE WALLS! WHAT'S GOING ON!?" Roxy cried as she looked in every direction. Bloom was doing her best to try and process the situation at hand. What was worse is that both Faerie's soon found themselves eclipsed in complete darkness separated.
"BLOOM! BLOOM! WHERE ARE YOU!?" Roxy called out as Bloom swallowed hard. "Try and calm down Roxy...I need you to stay where you are...I'll try to find you..." the redhead told the younger faerie as Bloom started to feel around the area. "Dragon heart!" Bloom cried before a burst of magic emerged from her hands illuminating the darkness. She looked left and then to the right. Just barely she could see something glimmering in the distance from where she was. Slowly Bloom began to move towards it before she jumped as Roxy's voice echoed in a loud scream. "ROXY!" Bloom cried as she hurried over to the wall nearest to where the source was coming from. "ROXY! ROXY ANSWER ME!" the redhead called out.
"BLOOM! THESE THINGS! T-THEY'RE COMMING THROUGH THE WALLS! I-I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE!? W-WHAT DO I DO!? Roxy cried as she felt something brush by her. Chilling her down to the bone. "AHHHH GET AWAY FROM ME! WOLF TALON!" the faerie of animals cried as she started to fire at the ghost-like beings that kept phasing through the walls. But no matter what she tried or how hard she hit them they'd multiply ten fold. Bloom bit her lip as she tried to think. This wasn't good. Roxy was like an animal in a cage. She was scared and it was causing her to lose her cool. It was all Bloom could do to retain her own sense of calm. The redhead took a deep breath before she walked over towards the only small speck of light nearby. Once she ceased movement slowly Bloom picked up the object in question.
"Wait I recognize this...is..." Bloom began before she pressed the button flashing on the PDA. Within moments a projected image of Kaiba took form in front of the Faerie. "Kaiba!?" Bloom questioned before he spoke. "B...Bloom...I don't know...how much longer I can retain consciousness...but I have to warn you...the Wizards...Of The Black Circle...followed...you...through the...portal...please be careful Bloom..." "KAIBA! KAIBA!" Bloom cried as the PDA cut off before she narrowed his eyes. "I knew it! The Wizards ARE BEHIND THIS!" the redhead spat angrily. This must've been Ogron's plan all along! They used Roxy to enter the gateway and now this Labryth was to keep them in while they did who knows what to the Earth Faeries. They HAD to get out of there! And fast! If they hurt anyone else she swore they were going to pay!
"Roxy! The Wizards did this!" Bloom told her. "If we're gonna get out of here we've got to put our powers together!" she exclaimed as Roxy bit her lip. "But how?! These things are totally FREAKING me out! I don't know if I can focus!" "You have to TRY Roxy! Ogron and the others are going after Nebula and the Earth Faeries! He followed us! I just got a message from Kaiba! He told me!" "WHAT!?" Roxy cried horrified before she summoned the White Circle. "You mean...it's all my fault...?" the pink haired faerie nearly whispered on the verge of tears. "I know how you feel...but we must pull ourselves together and right this wrong! Please, Roxy, don't give up..." Bloom pleaded before Roxy found the fire lit within her.
"YOU'RE RIGHT BLOOM! I'M WITH YOU! WILD HEARTBEAT!" Roxy called out before she summoned the crows from nearby and drew them to try and peck away at the stone both Bloom and her were encased in. "That's it, Roxy! SUPERNOVA!" the redhead cried as she unleashed her out fury to try and bring down the labyrinth's walls. The entire place within shook with a massive and great force however the result of their efforts were not as they had hoped. Instead, they were met with the labyrinth closing in all around them. "Bloom..." Roxy muttered as she noticed the space was shrinking. "Yeah I see it too Roxy..." Bloom confirmed as Roxy glowed slightly as she held her head.
"The crows are speaking to me...they're telling me that the labyrinth is charging its shape...caving in on us!" Roxy cried as her heart raced in her chest. "With the ceiling enclosed we can't fly out...and even if I were to try and transport out of here I can feel that the dark magic is very strong...too strong to work...we're in a real bind here Roxy..." "Ok, can I panic NOW!?" Roxy cried as she found herself already starting to get to the end of her rope. "I don't think I have to say this but I DON'T LIKE GRAVEYARDS!" the faerie of animals yelled.
"...Maybe my Belivix powers alone won't be as effective but if we use convergence..." "Oh! Then we can undo the spell that created this space in the first place! Uh...but we might wanna hurry up before we become Faerie Pancakes!" Roxy exclaimed the ceiling was comming further down. "Ready?" Bloom questioned. "As I'll ever be..." Roxy murmured before they focused all their power around them. "WILDFIRE!" Bloom and Roxy cried out in unison before a colored fire engulfed the entire Labyrinth and within moments it shattered from their combined convergence power. Slowly Roxy and Bloom opened their eyes before they smiled and hugged each other in celebration.
"WE DID IT BLOOM! We really did it!" "We sure did Roxy..." Bloom offered a smile back before they both felt another wave of negative energy. "I got a REALLY bad feeling let's hurry and get inside the throne room quick!" Roxy exclaimed before Bloom nodded. It didn't take them long at all to see the guards unconscious having been assaulted by the Wizards. "ACK!" Roxy gasped as she felt the emotion and pain of the other Faerie's pulse through her. "BLOOM... THE... EARTH FAERIE'S!" "COME ON ROXY!" Bloom cried and grabbed her and flew ahead.
