Chapter 4: Believix Activated!
Earth 7: Gardenia
Stinkfly had fired his goop blasters and lunged forward at the wizards. To avoid being struck by another goop ball, the wizards had shifted aside.
"I'll get him!" exclaimed Duman after transforming into a massive condor, taking to the skies, pursuing the bug-eyed alien, and starting an aerial combat.
Stinkfly started to dodge Duman's blows from all sides, saying, "Aw come on! Can everyone in this world transform?!"
Duman said, "Not feeling so special anymore, are ya boy?" before yelling and rushing by him. The rear of Duman's wing sent him flying back a few meters when he looked forward. Before he slammed into a stack of crates and landed, he had swiftly recovered.
He gloated, "Ha, that didn't even hurt!" However, he was unaware that the crates behind him were starting to ascend into the air.
"Is that so? Then how about this little pest?" Anagan asked as he had tossed the levitating crates at the bug. The Winx exchanged concerned looks as if it appeared as though there was no way out and the alien was crushed beneath the boxes.
Turning now to face the Winx, Ogron said, "Finally, that takes care of one annoyance. And now for the other pests." However, as he was ready to cast his spell on the girls, he failed to see Stinkfly approaching him from behind.
Duman yelled, "AAAAACK! Ogron, behind you!" But the damage was done. Stinkfly grabbed Ogron by the shoulders and threw him high into the sky.
Stinkfly laughed as he flew over to a dumpster, saying, "Thank you for choosing El Stinko Airlines. Now boarding."
Ogron remarked, "Ah, don't you dare!" as he was ready to employ magic to render Stinkfly inoperable.
The wizard's leader was dumped into the dumpster by Stinkfly, who slammed the lid after saying, "I have no idea what you're talking about. Oh, ya mean this?"
Stinkfly gloated, "Now I'm not the only one around here who stinks." However, he was unable to notice that Duman was approaching from behind and had already scratched his neck.
Duman was towering over Stinkfly when he slammed him into the ground. Duman said under his breath, "You little twerp! No one does that to Ogron! No matter how funny it was."
Stella yelled, "Stay away from him!" as she eventually regained the strength to make another assault.
"Sunlight stream!" she exclaimed after shooting the wizard with a solar magic ray. He had swiftly taken off once more, avoiding the blow and sending it crashing into the garbage that imprisoned Ogron. Swiftly, the girls had flown to the alien that was grounded.
Musa questioned Stinkfly, who was still able to stay downwind, "Hey, are you okay?"
Stinkfly remarked, "Uh..yeah, I'll live. Thanks for the save." after standing up and checking that all six of his legs were still intact.
"So, Ben, how exactly do you transform into these aliens?"Stella asked sharply, taking the hero by surprise, But thankfully, he knew one or two ways to keep a secret identity.
He asked, trying to look confused, "Huh? Ben? Never heard of him. The name's stinkfly!"
"Stella, we still can't be sure that it's Ben who is standing right in front of us," Flora responded.
""Well that's the way I see it. I think we should pay a visit to Bloom's parents and see if he's there or not. I think we'll have our answer then." Stella said as this had caused Ben to become a little nervous. But as long as he was still in heroic mode, he didn't worry too much. He needed to finish quickly to avoid the watch timing out on him, as it often does. However, what justification would allow him to leave without drawing attention to himself? Abruptly, a big ball of debris struck him in the back of the head. The girls turned around and discovered it was from an enraged Ogron who was covered in trash. He had snatched the can of noodles from his head and put his evil smile back on his face.
"Well, shape-shifter, you sure have fooled us with that frail appearance of yours. I didn't think any of you would be brave enough to launch a surprise attack. But now, I fear, I have to pay the favor forward. And you'll come to regret that move given the situation you'll find yourself in "Ogron stated as he prepared to exact revenge on Ben.
Anagan exclaimed, "Hey Ogron! Look what I found!" as he grabbed a female by the arms who was observing everything from behind a metal container. The girl looked to be about sixteen years old.
Her skin tone leans slightly lighter. Her intense violet eyes and pinkish-purple hair, trimmed with blonde highlights, fall to her waist. She's wearing a long-sleeved, skin-tight, sea-green crop top with a hot pink crop top on top that's shorter, has a hole on each shoulder, and has a lavender paw print across the front. She's dressed in hot pink boots with light purple soles and laces, and short denim capris with a metal chain falling around her waist.
Bloom cried out, "Oh no! Roxy!" as she attempted to save her. However, Ogron launched a magic assault against her from behind. Gantlos had trampled the earth, causing a seismic wave that knocked everyone back to the ground before the others could act.
As he, Duman, and Gantlos levitated over to Anagan and the defenseless girl, Ogron said, "Nice work Anagan. Now it's finally time."
Ogron yelled, "Now! Summon the Black Circle!" The four wizards had started to channel their energy at Ogron's command. A purple vortex had emerged in the sky, and a tornado of magic was being sucked up.
With a horrified expression on her face, Roxy realized there was nothing she could do to stop it. She said in shock, "No...this can't be happening. It just can't." She could feel her eyes welling up with tears.
Ogron said with an evil smirk, "Oh, don't worry my dear, there's no need to cry. I promise it'll all be over very soon."
Roxy begged, "Girls, please, I need you! You're the only one who can save me!"
Bloom said to Roxy, "Roxy, you need to have faith. Believe!" Thus, she acted. At last, realizing there were fairies after all, the sky filled with purple energy that had unintentionally interfered with the Black Circle summoning.
"Hey! What's going on?" Duman asked, startled in surprise. "The Black Circle…we can't summon it!"
"What?" In amazement, Ogron asked. The red-haired wizard could only watch in rage as the fairies started to change into something different. Stinkfly couldn't bring his four unwavering eyes to the metamorphosis scene. The Winx had transformed into their believix forms when the light went out. Despite his expectation that they would showcase their newfound abilities right away, the girls took some time to show off their new attire.
Bloom's Believix has knee-length hair from top to bottom, with two little braids in back that hold her distinctive bangs in place and link to a golden heart barrette. She is dressed in a pink top that bares her midriff, with puffy shoulders, peach-colored sleeves, and a blue minivest underneath that has a dark blue heart in the middle. Compared to the Enchantix, her wings are bigger and feature a pale blue inside with pink heart shapes and tiny dark blue heart gems adorning the wings themselves. She's wearing bright blue, fingerless gloves. Her light-blue, poofy, tutu-like skirt has a dark blue heart on each hip that secures a pair of purple bows. A matching purple band encircles the layered ruffles, which are pink on the bottom and blue on top. Last but not least, her sandals have vanished and have been replaced with a pair of white capri heels and dazzling pink socks with two dark pink stripes on top.
Stella's Enchantix hairstyle, highlights, and the red jewel ornaments holding her pigtails in place are all still there in her Believix fairy form attire; however, the jewels have taken on an orange and star-shaped shape. She receives what appear to be Bloom's Believix-like fingerless gloves in a peach color, extending from the back of her hands to the middle of her forearm. Her orange off-the-shoulder blouse has a pink crop top underneath it, with the bottom and straps clearly showing through. Her outfit consists of an orange miniskirt that resembles a tutu, adorned with several layers of pink ruffles underneath and two purple ribbons that loop around her waist and tie into two purple bows. Her glittery knee-high orange stockings and plum purple and white platform high-heeled boots have taken the place of her strappy barefoot sandals. In conclusion, her wings are of comparable size and are adorned with tiny gold stones in the shape of stars, as well as an inside lined with purple and bright yellow stars.
Flora's Believix costume consists of a sleeveless blouse with a flower motif in pink and fuchsia, a midriff-baring skirt styled like petals with lime green frills underneath, and a yellow thread tying it in place. Her leaves have an emerald green lining, with jade-lined clover forms inside. The background of her wings fades from hot pink at the base to orange in the middle to yellow at the top, with purple leaf "piercings" along the length of each wing. She wears purple and pink flower-themed wristbands on her wrists and below-the-knee pink, fuchsia, and white platform high-heeled boots on her feet. Her hair is now in a pair of buns sporting turquoise-blue bows atop her head with peach highlights and red and purple flowers decorating her hair with pink eye shadow on her eyelids.
Musa's Believix fairy form outfit consists of a magenta tank top that is only held up by the left strap, though the right strap is visible as a thin pale pink strap. Additionally, there is a blue strip of fabric that connects to the area above her bosom and fastens to a choker around her neck. She's dressed in pale purple-blue capri pants with a pink transparent gossamer ruffled skirt knotted behind her waist, and she's wearing magenta hot pants with an azure blue belt over them. She's wearing fingerless pale pink gloves that fall below her elbows. Her bright red platform ankle boots with ruffled red socks and pale pink heels have taken the place of her sandals. She wears a magenta pink band in her hair and a thin, braided ponytail is on the right side of her head and the rest of her knee-length hair is worn down. Her bangs are short and straight except for a large section in which is much longer than the rest and slightly curled. Lastly, her wings are larger than those of her Enchantix, thin and rounded at the ends shaped like treble clefs, lined in magenta-red with purple-blue on the inside and small raindrop-shaped gems decorate and dangle off.
The Believix outfit on Tecna looks a little like her old Winx outfit. It's short sleeves, form-fitting, and has peach extensions on her arms. Three sections of her sleeves are cut out like stripes; the top half is lavender, while the bottom is more violet and shaped like hot pants. A neon green cord is wrapped around her right breast area, and the outfit matches with blue jewels on the belt. A blue transparent gossamer ruffled skirt is tied behind her waist. Her hands are violet biker gloves, the kind without fingers that reach the wrist. She's cast aside her strappy sandals and replaced them with purple stockings that fall below the knee and a pair of ankle-length platform boots with lilac-white heels that are laced up in indigo and white. Last but not least, she has larger wings than Enchantix. They are striped with purple, and the interiors of her wings fade from rose pink to neon green at the tips. She also has long purple twists at the base of her wings and purple drop embellishments. She now sports light lavender eyeshadow and her hair tapers to a point, giving her an elegant appearance akin to Enchantix. In this form, it appears that she only has purple frames for what appear to be hind wings.
Aisha's Believix ensemble consists of a sort of tube top in turquoise blue with a right sleeve that is elbow length in lime green and a pair of pants in turquoise blue that end below her knees. The pants have frills around the bottom that resemble tutus and around the waist beneath a teal waistband. She is wearing a pair of shin-length, high-heeled, lime green platform boots with teal and pink accents. She has a turquoise blue ring on top of her head and a lime green necklace around her neck that has golden jewels dangling from it. She has an elbow-length peach-colored glove on her left arm, and a lime green bangle with a light pink bow hanging from it is on her right wrist. Last but not least, Aisha's hair has grown to ankle length, has turned redder, and has pink accents in her bangs. Her wings have also taken on an arch shape, are lined in turquoise-green, and have a background pattern that alternates between ocean blue and sea green.
The Winx have transformed into their Believix form.
An elated Bloom exclaimed, "I can't believe we reached the Believix level!"
"It felt like all the forces of nature were united in one single moment!" Flora exclaimed.
Stella exclaimed, "And the clothes, they're amazing!"
Turning to face Roxy and her dog Artu by her side, Bloom remarked, "Thanks Roxy. The minute you believe in us, we transform!"
Roxy replied, managing to get to her feet, "Thanks girls. I believe in you now and... I hope you beat these creepy guys."
Gantlos asked, "Ogron, what happened?"
" It's simply a lame fairy trick. Let's get rid of them and get the girl back!" Ogron exclaimed. Anagan took the lead, unleashing his super speed, and started to sprint in Roxy's direction. Had Stella not grabbed her and pulled her out of the road, he would have run right by the winx and nearly got her.
Aisha exclaimed, "Nice one, Stella! I see someone's been reading the book of fairies."
"I knew there was more to that book than just pretty pictures." responded Stella. But then there was a huge roar and they had to look away. Duman, who had transformed into a tiger with a crimson scar across its right eye, let out a roar. Roxy had made a run for it as he ran straight for them. The stinkfly charged in and stopped the creature's movement with his sticky goop before Duman could go any farther.
Hovering in midair, Stinkfly exclaimed, "Leaving so soon? The show's just getting started!"
As she and the others dashed in front of the shape-shifting wizard, Tecna exclaimed, "Thanks, we've got it from here! Techno Shock!" she said, launching a green magic blast at Duman that raised a green static field. Sadly, though, as soon as Duman emerged from the stinkfly goop and broke the spell, it appeared that this had unstickied him. At that point, he had started menacingly approaching Stella, preparing to perform the "creep and pounce" maneuver.
Stella hesitantly asked the tiger, "Uh, does anybody remember reading the chapter concerning my new powers?"
Musa charged a pinkish energy sphere between her hands and held it over her head, saying, "No, but I learned mine by heart!" She exclaimed, "STEREO CRASH!" sending the energy shooting into two distinct orbs that struck Duman, causing him to hide his ears in agony.
"AAAAGH, I can't hear anything!" exclaimed Duman, transforming into a beast, as Musa's power prevented him from hearing anything.
"Looks like our powers are finally affecting the wizards." Aisha replied.
"Ogron, what should we do? They're much stronger now!"exclaimed Gantlos, avoiding a Stereo Crash strike from Musa, but Ogron stayed motionless and unfazed.
Ogron responded, "Just leave it to me." after channeling her attack into his magic. His hands arced with electric-like magic. Musa shrieked as he sent the strike back at her and knocked her out of the sky,
Bloom said, "Musa!" and dashed to her friend's side.
"Silly fairies. You thought one little upgrade was enough to challenge us? Please. Hunters, attack!" said Ogron, sweeping a lock of hair across his face and giving the Wizards orders to attack.
meanwhile, was caring for the unconscious Musa as it lay against the wall.
"Don't worry Musa. I'll get him. Bloom said as she had launched a stream of fire at the wizard. FIRE…ARROW! She yelled before launching the attack. But Ogron stood still as he let the attack brush past him while absorbing its energy.
Meanwhile Anagan was running around and attempting to use dark magic rays to take down Flora. Flora had sidestepped the blow and delivered a counterattack of her own.
Flora yelled, "Summer Thunder!" and hurled a nature magic orb at the evil wizard. But it was difficult to land a straight hit because of his quickness. Gantlos had attempted to bring her down with an airborne seismic wave while she was preoccupied. Stella had stepped in, though.
Stella screamed, "Watch out, Flora!" as she moved into the path of flames. She exclaimed, "Double Eclipse!" as many yellow stars materialized and deflected Gantlos' blow.
"Thank you Stella. So you did study your powers?" Flora asked.
tella answered, "Let's just say I'm a really fast learner."
Ogron was finding it annoying to cope with Stinkfly. He could not absorb it and turn it against him since he had no magic to utilize. And he would have been rendered motionless by those gooey balls of goo. Not to mention thoroughly disgust him.
Ogron screamed, "Ugh! Keep still you annoying little bug!" as he continued to strike the buzzing stinkfly.
Stinkfly remained out of reach, taunting, "What's the matter? Can't hit me?" But Gantlos seismic onslaught stopped him in his tracks, bringing him to a screeching stop.
After being hurt by Gantlos' strike, Stinkfly said, "Ow...that's gonna leave a mark."
Duman had growled at her after discovering Roxy. Sensing that she would have put its master and buddy in danger, the dog had begun to bark at him. Despite having stabbed the dog, sending it flying across the street, he wasn't even amused by this.
Roxy said, "Artu!" as she looked to make sure her puppy was alright. She looked at Artu's paw and said, "If you hurt him, I swear!"
Gantlos remarked, "Ya hear that, Duman?" to the tiger. At last, the kittens displayed their claws. Duman had growled and then lunged for Roxy. But Aisha abruptly stopped him.
"Plasma Wall!" said Aisha, unleashing a violet magical barrier. Sadly, the beast had come to rest on the shield, trapping Roxy beneath it as well.
Flora exclaimed, "Oh no, Roxy's trapped under the morphix!" out of concern for Roxy.
Anagan came sprinting up to Ogron and said, "Ogron, The girl disappeared."
Ogron said, "Don't just stand there, find her!"
Roxy was running in a less populated area of the town, closely followed by her dog. The two had stopped at another house's doorstep.
After putting her dog down and taking a seat on the threshold, Roxy remarked, "I'm so sorry I got you involved in all this Artu. Our life was so peaceful before the Winx arrived and those...Fairy hunters." They were both lured to the sound of a garbage can nearby.
She questioned, "Huh? Is somebody there? Huh?" An empty water bottle had rolled up to her feet in response.
She said, "Come out!" A little light-brown kitten came out from behind the garbage can at my order.
The cat then meows.
"Oh, you're just a kitten. She said as she had picked up the little cat and nestled it in her arms. I know what it feels like to be all alone. That's why friends are so important. I have Artu, and now you have me, okay?" Roxy said.
The wizards were still being repelled by the Winx and stinkfly.
Tecna exclaimed, "Techno Shock!"
Musa yelled, "Stereo Crash!" as she and Tecna attempted to halt Duman so they could shoot him down, but he had turned into an eagle.
Musa said, "Agh, missed!"
Anagan was running around, attempting to shoot Aisha and Stella.
Aisha said, "He's too fast."
Bloom and Flora discovered Ogron and Gantlos standing on the ground, and they noticed a strange ash that they had recently discovered, along with a dog footprint.
Bloom said, "What are they doing?"
As Flora dropped to the ground and crept up behind the wizards, she said, "I'll go see." But Anagan stopped her before she could get any farther.
"The nature fairy, you'd be my favorite if we weren't sworn enemies," Anagan said, bowing and utilizing his coat's tail as a cloak.
Flora sent another green magic bolt at the wizard, saying, "Nice of you to say. Autumn Wind! Oh!" But Anagan's quickness allowed him to easily avoid it. Anagan had launched another black magic strike at Flora after avoiding her first, causing her to defend herself by erecting a magic barrier. Ogron and Gantlos look at the dog's food prints and had scooped up something that looked like ash from the ground while she was preoccupied.
Gantlos remarked, "These are her dog's prints."
Ogron said, "You sure about that?"
Gantlos closed his eyes, seeing Roxy running away in his vision.
"We need to get going. Can you make it, Artu?" Roxy said.
"Yeah, I can see them now, Ogron. I can see that flea-infested mutt. They're hiding in a back alley not far from here. But I still don't know precisely where." Gantlos said,
Ogron said, "We'll find out then."
Then Gantlos scooped up the strange material that was ash.
"And look at this ash it looks exactly like the stuff Hex mentioned," Gantlos replied. "Mark that one off the list."
A startled Stinkfly said, "Hex?! You bozos are working with Hex?!" The extraterrestrial was floating over them as the two glanced up.
Ogron said, "Gantlos, go find the girl. I'll deal with the bug." Gantlos did nothing more than nod, drawn by a black fog to search for Roxy. Because Stinkfly had landed in front of him, Ogron didn't need to move, which made things simpler.
Stinkfly, his goop guns set to fire, said, "Alright wizard, shoot on the count of three."
As Ben was puzzling him, Ogron said, "Oh come now, there's no more need to hide under that silly costume."
He started, "Huh? What costume? This is," but Ogron interrupted him.
Ogron said, "Honestly Ben, who do you think you're fooling?" which shocked Ben.
Stinkfly gasped, realizing the secret was out, "H-how did you?"
"Our dear teacher was kind enough to shed light on one of his greatest enemies, Ben Tennyson, a boy who was able to take the form of thousands of different alien forms. I must say, I'm very intrigued as to how you transform. It is more drastic than those forms the fairies take." Ogron said because he was impressed with Ben.
Stinkfly snapped back, "None of your business! Like I would tell you the secret to my powers!"
Regarding Ben's curiosity, Ogron questioned, "Are you sure about that? Even if it meant giving up a chance to return home?"
He questioned, "What are you talking about?" However, before they could proceed, they both observed many explosions emanating from the side.
Ogron raced to observe what was going on, asking himself, "What's going on?" But he found his three comrades, exhausted from the fight, sprawled out on the ground. and observe Roxy with them as they hold her cat and his dog.
"Hunters, what happened?" asked Ogron.
Gantlos stammered, "The Winx they caught us by surprise."
"Well, I guess I have to congratulate you girls. I'm a bit surprised you managed to luck out of this fight." Ogron replied.
Musa said, "Luck out?! As if! We beat you! All of you!"
After Stinkfly had dropped to the earth, Ogron said, "With some assistance from another-world."
As soon as Ogron said, "As much as I'd love to stay and play with you, I'm afraid our time here is up. Not to mention our plans are a bit derailed since we have other business to do. But be sure of this Winx, this isn't the last you've seen of us." The wizards vanished like a gust of wind.
This had finally given the Winx a chance to relax, since the struggle was done.
"Thank you. I'll never forget what you did for me." Roxy said.
"You're welcome, Roxy," Bloom grinned.
Roxy then turned to look down and noticed her dog was wagging his tail.
Stinkfly was keeping a safe distance away from the Winx as they continued their conversation, saying, "Oh, and Artu thank you too."
He was ready to take off and thought, "Well, it looks like they've got everything handled here. Time to fly!" But before he could.
Roxy called out to Stinkfly, "Hey wait!"
"Crud," he pondered.
Not knowing his name, Roxy halted, "I forgot that I saw you in the fight with the wizards too, Thanks for the help um."
"Stinkfly. The name is Stinkfly. And no problem. Just helping out to whoever needs it. I'd like to stay, but this fly's got a buzz off." Stinkfly remarked as he started to take off again, but Stella grabbed his sleeve and stopped him.
Roxy was confused when Stella responded, "Not so fast, Ben."
She questioned, "Huh? Your name is Ben?"
He said, "No! I told you it's..."
As she shielded her nose from his stench, Stella said, "Oh come on. Drop the superhero act already! We know it was you who was that diamond guy in the park that day, and now you're some sort of stink bug. Why are you a stink bug?" Ben's Omnitrix plate flashed bright red, stopping him before he could respond.
He hurriedly took to the air and exclaimed, "Uh-oh. Sorry, gotta go!"
Flora turned to face Stella, who said, "Flora, ground him!"
As Flora called forth thick vines that had sprung from the earth and surged upward into the air, her hands started to glow a bright green. Ben could have been Stinkfly's speed in the air, but the vines moved more quickly. They had drawn him back to the ground by encircling his six legs.
"Ah...man!" said Stinkfly, just before a massive red flare burst off the plate onto his face, momentarily blinding the females. After the light subsided, they discovered that Stella had been correct in her suspicions—Ben had emerged after the flash.
Roxy said, "Huh...it's a kid!" in shock.
Stella sighed, "Hmph, I knew it."
Ben folded his arms and replied, "Alright, ya got me. Big whoop!"
Tecna said, "So, you were that stink bug just now?"
"His name is Stink FLY! How many times do I need to tell ya? Geez, I thought girls were supposed to be smarter than boys." Ben grumbled.
Stella shot back, "You're still smart enough to figure out your secret."
"Mind telling us the real reason why you're here?" said Tecna.
Ben pushed himself up from the ground and said, "I guess it doesn't matter now. But, we should probably get out of here first. Those wizards may try something else when we're not looking."
Roxy decided to return to Frutti Music Bar with her dog and cat as the Winx had started to take off. However, they had spotted that Ben was making his way back on foot.
Stella said, "Hey, what are you doing?"
Ben shot back, "Duh! Walking. What's it look like I'm doing?!"
Ben was annoyed that they still hadn't appropriately utilized the moniker for the insect-like extraterrestrial, so Stella said, "Can't you just turn into that stink bug guy and fly back as well?" But he disregarded her for the time being and responded,
"I can't! The watch needs a few minutes to recharge after I transform!" Ben yelled.
"The watch?!" Musa exclaimed.
"This is the Omnitrix, or as I call it, 'The Watch.' And don't worry about me; I'll get back just fine," Ben remarked, flashing the Omnitrix with the hourglass in the red..."
"Tecna?" Bloom turned to face Tecna.
Tecna had already nodded, understanding her friend's meaning.
She had lowered herself close to Ben and was extending her arms while exclaiming, "Digital Web!" Ben was abruptly surrounded by a green energy ball with a web-like pattern as she said the magic.
Ben said, "H-hey! Put me down!" as he and Tecna started to float into the air.
Stella shot back, "Quit your griping! At least you're getting a free ride out of it." As they started their flight back to Love & Pet.
-Back at the wizards underground hideaway,-
The wizards had returned, and Hex was waiting for them, submerged in enchanted books, perfecting his sorcery, and suspended in midair, in a meditative condition.
Hex inquired, "Ah, how did your little outing go? Find something interesting?"
Gantlos flung a little bag holding the ash they had previously gathered and added, "You could say that."
Hex took up the bag and said, "Perfect." His joy suddenly changed into a scowl as he said, "Where are the rest?"
Duman sat down on his chair and said, "Hey, don't blame us! We would have spent more time looking for the junk if it wasn't for the fairies and that alien kid."
"I knew he would meddle in my affairs. Even in a whole other world, he still manages to interfere with my plans." Hex sighed. "Well, worry not. It's about time we moved on to the next phase of my plan. And I'm sure that boy will not be able to follow us." Hex smiled. "That is, as soon as Charmcaster returns."
Duman said, "Hey, where is the girl anyway?"
"I sent her out to get what we still needed before we made our departure. Tell me, my former students, how does a little field trip sound to you?" Hex inquired when he had gotten up.
"Field trip?" Duman inquired. "Where are we going?"
"To the school of the Red fountain…" Hex said with a menacing smile.
-Back at love & pet-
Ben had told them he was truly from another world. A different Earth, if you will. After trying to stop him and his niece by jumping into the vortex, he ended up in their realm. The old wizard's staff shot back at him, causing him to be shot back and end up at Gardenia Park.
Ben concluded, "Well, that's my story."
Flora said, "That's awful. You're grandpa and cousin must be worried sick."
Stella glared down at him and said, "Why did you jump in after him anyway? You had no idea if you would even survive the trip."
"So I should have allowed the bad guy to get away when I still had the chance to stop him?" Ben said.
"No…that's not it. Did you even consider what your family would think?" said Stella.
Ben answered, "Of course I did. I'm not that stupid. When I saw Hex disappear into the portal, I tried to think of any possible way to stop him. But…only one answer came across my mind. And the portal was closing so there wasn't much time. I bet Gwen's just waiting to see my face again so she can shout at it with insults of my stupidity."
Aisha said, "Sorry, Ben. We would help you if we could, but we don't know how to send you back. That kind of magic is way too far out of our experience. Besides, we still have to take care of the Wizards of The Black Circle."
Ben smiled cockily and replied, "It's okay, I'll get back somehow."
"Well, if you're going to be staying around here, then we're seriously going to have to do something about your wardrobe," Stella responded.
Ben questioned, "What's wrong with my clothes?" as he looked at his clothes.
Musa said, pinching her nose due to the scent of Ben's shirt, "Your shirt reeks! I can smell it all the way from here."
"Hey, this is my lucky shirt. I wore it on the day I got the Omnitrix." Ben stated.
"Lucky or not, we aren't going to have you hanging around us smelling like a gym bag all day!" said Stella.
Bloom said, "Sorry Ben, but I agree with Stella on that."
Ben opened his mouth to argue, but before he could say anything further, Miss Faragonda called The Winx again. Bloom was the first to respond to the computer call.
Faragonda said, "Hello? Girls, are you there?"
Tecna said, "We're here, Miss Faragonda. What's the problem?"
"It's terrible! The school has been under attack!" Faragonda said , which shocked the Winx.
Bloom questioned, "Wait what? By who?"
"Gantlos, Duman, and Anagan of the Black Circle. And it appears that there's someone with them. A girl in magenta clothing." Faragonda said.
Bloom questioned, "A girl wearing magenta clothing? The wizards must have recruited someone to join their ranks."
Ben said, "It's Charmcaster."
Miss Faragodna questioned, "Huh? Who said that?"
Ben walked up to join the Winx and Faragonda in the conversation, saying, "That would be me."
Bloom said, "Miss Faragonda, this is Ben Tennyson. He's the one who transforms into the aliens who battle Hex in another world."
Faragonda was Astounded at Ben's abilities and said, "Wait, so you were all those aliens? Preposterous."
"Believe it. But there's no time to explain. What school are you talking about that's under attack?" Ben inquired.
"The Alfea school for fairies. School for girls to come to learn how to harness their magical abilities." Faragonda said.
Ben turned his head aside and replied, "A school for girls? Count me out."
Aisha said, "Hey, who is this charmcaster girl anyway?"
Ben remarked, "She's Hex's little niece and apprentice, but she double-crosses him whenever she has the chance. She even tried to switch bodies with me to obtain the watch."
Musa asked, "Swap bodies with a 10-year-old? Seriously?"
Faragodna said, "Anyway, we need you girls to come to Alfea straight away!"
As the conversation ended, Bloom said, "Don't worry, Miss Faragonda—we're on our way!"
Ben said, "So, where's this school anyways?"
"It's in the Magic Dimension. Where all Magic originates from." Tecna said.
"We would take you as well, but the barrier around the school prevents those without magical powers from entering," Stella said.
Ben casually said, "Well, suppose I'm stuck here then."
Stella, along with the others, got ready to head out and said, "Don't worry, we'll be back soon."
Ben whispered to himself, "Now, why am I finding it difficult to believe that?"
Stella asked, "What was that?"
Ben said, "Oh nothing. Enjoy your trip."
When Stella took a ring from her finger, it changed into a long blue strand with a sun-shaped pattern at the top behind a cloud of yellow light. The girls were illuminated by a dazzling light as the top of the staff lit up, and a few seconds later, they vanished completely.
Ben gets left behind while the girls travel to the magical dimension to protect the Alfea school. However, was Ben prudent to stay behind? And when the Winx return to the magical dimension, what precisely will be waiting for them?
