Chapter 23
The Battle
The weather had become stormy and the wind began to pick up, the five of them got to the courtyard to find the three witches present floating in the sky. Stormy was seen waving her arms up towards the sky "I think she is the one causing the storm!" Keesha pointed out, "According to my research, Stormy's the witch of storms!" DA answered her. Valerie could sense that this weather pattern was indeed not normal.
"How exciting!" Valerie said in excitement as she also looked up to find the 3 witches hovering in the sky. She could sense Keesha, Phoebe, DA and Wanda all raising their eyebrows thinking seriously! "Time's up little fairies!" Icy's voice was heard, it wasn't long until Head Mistress Faragonda appeared along with Griselda and some of the other staff while some of the students ran inside for safety.
"Weak fairies, what scaredy cats!" Darcy says, "Agreed Darcy! That's right you all ran away into your school!" Icy answered back to her. Faragonda then stood up on a podium to address the 3 evil witches "Oh look its Faragonda!" Stormy said in a sly voice. "I order you to stop this storm immediately!" Faragonda shouts towards the witches.
"Oh she didn't say please to you Stormy!" Icy says as she looks towards Stormy, "No she didn't that makes my very upset!" Stormy shouted back as she began to make the storm she was causing stronger. The wind began to blow stronger and light was becoming darkness from the thickness of the clouds. "How about adding some hail to the storm Icy?" Darcy asked Icy, "Thought you would never ask Darcy!" Icy answered cheerfully.
Just then Icy waves her arms in the air and hail began to fall as she spoken again "Now then as i was saying time's up little fairies!". "Oh bad, oh bad, oh bad, bad, bad!" Keesha yelled with her hands covering her cheeks struggling to keep balance as where Valerie, Phoebe, Wanda and DA. "We really don't want to battle ya, if you just hand it over then we will be on our mary way!" Stormy then added.
"It always ends up in a battle when you three are involved anyway! Girls defend, defend the school, make me proud!" Faragonda demanded as she looked towards those who were left in the courtyard. One of those who were still left in the courtyard was Roxy who immediately transformed along with some of her follow classmates.
"Keep that Portashrinker tight in your hands Wanda!" Valerie instructed Wanda with a smile who answered back to her with a simple "Yes Professor Frizzle!". "You all stay here!" she tells them before making her way towards the middle of the courtyard into the battle scene. As she walked, she kept a smile on her face. There was no lie she could sense her ex-students worries and no them they wouldn't take no or stay put as an answer. This was part of her plan she rather was hoping they would follow her as she couldn't go into battle on her own.
"Professor Frizzle! What are you doing?" Valerie heard Roxy cry from far away, she simply looked over towards her continuing to smile. As Roxy was about to fly down to protect her she gets hit by one of Darcy's spells. Roxy falls to the ground. This made her angry, she smiled turned into a serious frown. Something you do not see on her face too often! Thankfully Tecna who had transformed into her Bloomix fairy form shot a powerful spell at her back "Bio-Rhythmic Blast!" she shouted which hit Darcy hard almost knocking her to the ground "Great shot Tecna!" Valerie shouted and Tecna smiled at her but also noticing that Valerie was heading into the fire zone.
Valerie then spots Faragonda, Daphne, DA and Phoebe run to Roxy's aid. She nods at them knowing that she will be looked after. Tecna at this stage had flown down to Valerie to protect her "Valerie this is dangerous! Why an't you transforming?" Tecna asked in concern. "Don't worry Tecna, just you wait!" Valerie tells her calmly. She continues to get closer to the Trix on foot still as a human. Tecna watches nervously.
Icy spots her "Ahhh finally its the human, so you decided to surrender and look you have brought as a gift!" Icy addresses Valerie, Valerie decides to not look at Icy in the eye and decided to look down and have her eyes closed while holding Bike Pendant (still around her neck) firmly in her hand. "Why don't you transform so you can show us your power!" Stormy asks. Valerie then looks up "All in good time ladies!" she responds happily "It's time to teach you ladies some manners, let's take chances, make mistakes and get fairy!".
Suddenly there was a bright light, almost blinding the 3 trix. Darcy had somehow recovered from Tecna's magic. "What's going on?" Darcy wonders "Don't know sister but all i see is a bright light!" Stormy says in responce. In a few seconds the bright light had disappeared. "What the heck was that!" Icy shouted, "It was just me!" Valerie shouted to them the witches revealing herself now in her fairy form but remained firmly on the ground
"How can you still be so happy! It annoys me!" Icy shouts to Valerie, "Now, now ladies surely we can sort this out without having to battle each other!" Valerie simply tells Darcy, Stormy and Icy. "Let's put it this way, you had over your source of power, which appears to be that pendant around your neck and we will be off!" Icy tells Valerie. Valerie wasn't going to simply hand it over "What ever happened to please in this world! Plus you don't want this old thing even though its powers are amazing to must say!" she said happily while her earrings lit up encouraging the witches anger.
"Well if your not going to hand it over quietly, we will just have to battle you to get it!" Icy tells Valerie "Sisters?". Suddenly Icy, Stormy and Darcy's hands all glowed and sources of power began to appear. It was a mixture of Ice, Wind and Dark magic mixed in one. Valerie was still on the ground, unknowingly Bike had other plans. She heard Phoebe, Wanda, Keesha and DA's voices suddenly get closer, they all we shouting a mixture of things "Fly Professor fly!", "Transform us, we will help you!".
Suddenly a bright light formed around Valerie causing a protective shield around her "Well done Bike!" she whispered. She then turned to face her ex-students "Wanda! NOW!" she shouted towards Wanda who still was holding the Portashrinker. A light from Wanda's direction appeared heading towards Valerie, she put her arms in the air as she felt it come through the shield "WAHOO!" she shouted. She was shrinking.
She then heard the voice of Darcy telling Wanda and the gang to hold it there. Valerie was worried knowing that Wanda, DA, Keesha and Phoebe didn't have their powers. She was unable to breakaway from the process she was going through of being shrunk and being asorbed into pendant bike. Also since this was a powerful process Bike could only focus one thing at a time "You leave us alone!" Keesha shouted shortly before Valerie heard Darcy shout out a spell.
She heard screams and words of "WATCH OUT!". Valerie closed her eyes and began praying "I'm sorry! I'm sooo sorry!" she whispered. For once in her life she was afraid very afraid. There was slience...
