Fairy's Blade Chronicles Chapter 41: The Witches' Downfall, a Kingdom Hearts + Winx Club Crossover fanfic

Chapter 40: The Witches' Downfall

Within the confines of a private chambers, Tezzeret made his way to the ship to bring him towards Alfea and search for the Winx and Keybladers. Despite the Trix's claim they were no longer a threat, he still considered the possibility that they would foil their plans. He would not let all that has been worked for be ruined because of the witches' arragonce.

But another thing he wanted to learn was to understand the power of the Dragon Flame, unlike the foolish Trix he wanted to learn how to use its power properly through training but something else came to his curiosity.

For a brief moment, the former keyblade bearer could have sworn he sensed the pressence of the spirit of Daphne Sparks, the lost princess of Domino and previous keeper of the flame. Almost as if she was trying to contact her younger sister.

But, something else for that matter. It was as if… he could sense another somewhere but could not trace it. No matter how hard he tried, the Dragon Flame refused to give him the answers he wanted.

"Either the flame is trying to refuse to submit… or some sort of secret the keepers refuse to reveal." Ponders in his thoughts and became more curious. Held up his hand to watch it engulf in flames without hurting himself. "As soon as we are done with the final school and the last of the Company of Light, you will soon serve your new master and show us the secrets of your power."

Making a vow and brings his hand into a fist as Tezzeret was now determined to bring the magic under his control. Once they are done what they need in the Magic Dimension, Kingdom Hearts will be next.

Both Bloom and Taren made it to Lake Roccaluce after going their separate ways with Sora and Sky, Taren wasn't sure but trusted Bloom to know if it really is her sister calling.

"So, you sure about this?" Taren asked.

Bloom nods without hesitating. "I am. I got to do this and maybe the answers to get my powers back." Before she would make a few more step further into the lake with her feet submerged, she was suddenly grabbed by the arm before Taren knew knowing what happened, Taren was kissing her on the lips with his arms around her.

He pulls away to see the flushed and flustered Bloom. "Be careful."

Bloom didn't say anything and reached out for his face to return the kiss. "You too. I'll be back." Presumes her walk towards the lake until she was up to her knees, able to see the edge to avoid going further, yet she felt something was down there. Calling to her until she slowly vanished before Taren's eyes.

As he waits for Bloom, the keybearer decide to try and contact Chandra once again, while not getting a clear answer of how the feud between his father and Tezzeret really happened, it was clear that Sora wasn't himself and would never cause the warlock in such a state he is in now. Felt a stronger connection with the flame since coming to the lake and may have a chance to try.

Sat in a lotus position and focused on his mind with his eyes closed. "Chandra, can you hear me? I need to talk to you."

Not received a response for a moment, until he was greeted by a faint orange glow taking shape of Chandra herself standing before him.

"So you got her to the lake just like I asked. Good job."

"Yeah, but that's not why I called." Taren didn't waste time and asked right away. "I asked my dad what happened and so far he didn't remember much, but then something came to me. The Dragon's Flame I have connected to many of my ancestors and you to talk to, so I want to know what happened between my father and Tezzeret. This time, no more secrets."

She suddenly became silent and tried to turn her gaze from his when he wanted an answer straight from the first user of the flame who sighed after given in. "I suppose you deserve it, after all you went through since I failed to defeat him last time. But, it'd be better if I show you."

Feeling his mind was being pulled towards someplace unknown to him. Flashes of lights streaming passed until he was in a world full of mist and fog. "Now where am I?"

CLANG!

A sound of swords clashing each other caught his attention, shades of people fighting. He looks around to see the image becoming clearer and saw people, knights and found himself in a large palace.

"Where am I?" Asking himself and spotted what looked like a younger Riku clashing with a brutish looking orc with a very large blade. King Mickey fought the monsters who tried to tackle him but underestimated his skills. Then there was Lea with, who he recognized was Roxas and Xion in a combo duel against a giant monstrous-looking Griffin flapping its wings.

Suddenly it came to him of where he was. "Wait. This must be the battle of Magix." Looks around for anyone and saw two people: Sora and Kairi, his parents.

"Mom? Dad?"

He watched them fight together as a team and looked amazing, they almost looked a little different but still his parents before he was born. A large shadow loomed over him, turns around and saw a large beast that looked like a lion but humanoid let out a roar. Jumped out of shock and tried to attack when the monster phased through him with no harm

"Yeah, this is a memory we're in. Nothing we do can be seen or do so your safe." Chandra appeared beside him to explain while trying to hide the smirk on her face.

"Could have warned me." He muttered when he felt like an idiot or she did it on purpose "Is this is where it could answer my question?" Asking his ancestor questions to know if he was right or not.

Chandra nods to confirm his question. "Yes. This is how it happened."

Watching the monster run towards his parents and thought of what could happen until it was blasted by magic from someone. Looked to where it came from and was stunned to see someone who bore a striking resemblance to Bloom but with brown eyes instead. She wore a large gold crown with a red gem at the front. Her attire consisted of a bright green bodysuit and light pink armor adorned with other red gems like the one on her crown on the center of her chest, waist, and the tips of her boots. Gold shoulder blades jut out from the pink armored torso-piece as gold fabric wraps around her waist like a belt bound by a red gem. Under it flows a large piece of the gold fabric that contains the pattern of a darker colored spear pointing down to a flame at the tip. Her boots are also adorned in gold patterns and each having a small silver or black gem placed at the center.

Watching her blast the monster away with her magic and turned to see them. "Watch yourselves, they seem to be in large numbers now!"

Kairi nodded and smiles at her. "Will do and thanks." She replied and struck down another attacker from behind.

Taren watches them interact with the woman who saved them. "Who was that?"

"That was Queen Marion of Domino, Bloom's birth mother." Chandra told him and see another enemy soldier struck down by a younger Saladin in his prime, standing beside him was a man of tall stature with short brown hair, thin brown eyes, a small pointed beard and tan skin. He wore a maroon bodysuit covered in ornate silver armor with gold accents. Many large red gems are embedded in the armor on his shoulders, upper arm guards, abdomen, and the tips of his shin guards. A blue plate of armor also juts out from underneath the red gem placed on his abdomen. Watching this swordsman cut down a few creatures and soldiers that try to surround him until Sora arrived and used Spark Drive to attack the foes by surprise.

Sora smiles before the knight he saved and twirled his keyblade in his hand. "You okay, Oritel?"

The one named Oritel smiles and gave a soft chuckle. "Always appreciate the assistance, Sora."

"Orital? Wait, as in Bloom's dad?" He remembered that name that was Bloom's father and the king of Domino.

"Yep. The two met when your father arrived and saved him from an ambush. The two fought alongside before your mother and the others arrive."

This was new to him to hear how they were good friends in the past, maybe he could ask his dad about what he did in his time in the Magic Dimension. Suddenly a powerful force burst through a wall, causing everyone to temporally cease their battles to turned to the source of the explosion. A figure emerged and stood over the remains of the debris was Tezzeret before the cybernetics.

Tezzeret looked upon the Company of Light and the Keybearer, waving his hand across and several bladed tendrils sprouted out of the ground to strike at his targets. Forcing the heroes to avoid the metal spikes.

Sora dodged them and ran towards Tezzeret who saw him and summoned his own keyblade, clashing their blades against each other until Tezzeret performed a Strike Rave at the spikey brunette, however he was joined with Oritel came to his help to disrupt the attack and exchanged a few hits between them until he blasted a wave of magic to send them flying a few feet.

Tezzeret walked towards the two while they slowly got to their feet. "I have waited a long time for this, the Drgaon's Flame will be mine and will do what those ancient crones failed centuries ago."

Oritel grunted and narrowed his eyes towards him with disdain, drawing his sword out in front of him. "You will never succeed, Tezzeret. The Flame will never fall in the hands of evil."

The fallen Keybearer responded with a grin and chuckled. "And how will you accomplish that when you failed to save your daughter."

The mention of his daughter Daphne and the thought of her in danger struck the king's nerve and charged at him.

"Oritel!" Sora reached out his hand to warn him but was too late when Tezzeret clashed his blade with his and easily dodged them. Oritel was blinded with rage, he failed to see the warlock perform a command to create a quake and struck him from below, taking the advantage and ran towards the king to throw his blade in a strike to the stomach to force the wind out of him.

Sora rushed over to help him, but Tezzeret was shown to be a far more skilled user of the keyblade than him and used his magic to create a wall of metal before he threw it towards Sora.

Luckily Sora avoided the coming object and jumped to the side, but only saw Tezzeret run towards him and leaped over him to throw a high spinning kick into the ribs to send him to the floor.

"That's just plain dirty!" Taren glared at his foe for while knowing well that not everyone follows the same rules of combat or respect as them, but to see it against his family was something he hated.

"He used to be honourable, but so far that might have been to cover his true self." Chandra agreed with him.

Sora grunted and rubbed his forehead, slowly getting up but was forced on his knees by Tezzeret's metal blades, forcing him on his knees and restraining his arms. "Hey! What's going-"

"Sorry for the stunt, boy, but I am on a very busy schedule and cannot afford to be wasted." Sora looked over to find Tezzeret with his keyblade to use its magic and did the same to Oritel who was fighting to break free until his foe approached him.

Tezzeret kneels before him to meet face to face. "Now then, your highness. Tell me where the princess is, and I might make it easier for you."

Taren could only watch as it was only a vision, unable to do anything with his father restrained and Oritial at the possible mercy of Tezzeret. Just when he was about to ask Chandra where this was going, something unexpected was happening to Sora. "Wait... is dad ... glowing?"

"Chandra nods and observes without saying a word. A faint orange and red glow surrounded Sora, the restraints that held him slowly begin to wither and evaporate. Now freed, slowly rose in his feet with the bright aura surrounding him and his keyblade. Used both hands and swung it in a horizontal slash to release a wave of energy towards his target

Tezzeret felt something was off and turned, only to witness a coming wave towards him.

"AAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

Taren winced when he hears an agonising cry of pain coming from Tezzeret and in his place was an explosion through the flash and clouds. Shocked and surprised how this had happened, he looked back to see the look on his father's face which showed the glowing eyes... just like his when he suddenly.

"Wait... did he used?" Utterly shocked and confused, he watched as Sora's eyes no longer flowed and saw him collapsed to the floor. Never realised what he just did. While seeing the shocked Orital who was freed from his restrains to help him, Taren noticed Tezzeret no long around, presumably escaped as he knew when many assumed that the warlock had died.

Taren was brought back from the vision with disbelief on his expression before looking towards Chandra when he was still by the lake. "So then… my dad used the Dragon's Flame without ever knowing about it. That's why he couldn't speak of it."

"Yes, though to be honest, I didn't expect it to happen. The urge to protect his family and friends became his strength. So it must have been what triggered it." The Fire user gave a theory.

"Only now that Tezzeret survived and spent years recovering, which now explains how he ended up like he is now." Taren barely caught the sight of his previous condition but almost made him lose his lunch for a moment.

"Taren, you must defeat Tezzeret before he gets stronger. Seek the power within you and call upon it. Remember the words your father often spoke?"

He knew exactly what those words his father told him for years. "'My friends are my power.' I have them with me and also to them."

Chandra smiles and turned to the lake. "Something is happening, better be ready and make us all proud, kiddo. May your heart be your guiding light." With that she fades away with a confident smile on her face.

He stood watching her leave and took the words in mind, now able to sense something going on in the lake. Hoping Bloom was doing okay and somehow able to get her powers back.

Pulled away from the thought of her when he heard a rustling of leaves behind him, summons the Royal Sparks to see a large hulking shadow emerge, breathing through the nostrils. Emerging out of the shadows was a very large and menacing looking Beringal that towered over the keybearer.

"Whoa. Did not expect that." Taren never thought to encounter one of these Grimm, not since the one he was chased back home. Without warning the Beringal let out a mighty roar before making a tackle towards the startled redhead. "AH!" Taren made a Reflect just in time before the fist came straight towards him, but caused him to sent flying into a tree to cushion the impact. Groans as he pulls himself back up on his feet while a little dizzy. "Now that I didn't expect."

The Beringal gave a glare at its red eye and let out a mighty war, pounding its chest for a battle cry before it jumped towards him for the attack. But Taren made a perfect timing to jump over it, spinning his keyblade and struck into the rips, only for the teeth to be grabbed by the large hand to surprise the redhead and gained its attention.

For a brief moment, he caught sight of the petrified left eye and sides of its broad neck, almost… familiar to him.

'Wait a minute….'

The Beringal grabbed him by the head before he could finish what he was thinking, lifted him from his feet before delivering a strong punch in the gut to send him flying over the branches.

Taren was fortunate to have his aura protecting him and landed on the branches to leap to the other to gain distance while firing different magic Commands at the Grimm running after him. Thunder, Aero, Fire, even used Seeker Mines to attack the creature. However, this did not stop the gorilla Grimm from chasing after him and only made it more determined to chase him.

The Beringal grabbed and picked up a boulder from the ground with both hands and threw it towards Taren, the keybearer reacted and slashed his keyblade to cut it in half, but saw the Beringal jump high in the air and tried to attack him from above. Taren avoided the tackle and landed back down on the ground, the two exchanged blows while Taren gives a few slashes and cuts around its body but more so around the arms and bone armor plates. The Grimm tried to grab him but slammed its fists to the ground to create a shockwave, sending the surprised Taren off his balance and fell to the side of the lake.

Meanwhile, Bloom found herself in an underwater cavern while able to breath, but that did not surprise her when she found Daphne appearing before her.

"Daphne, am I dreaming?" Hoping she was not and thought it was a relief to see a friendly face.

Daphne gave a warm smile to her sister. "No, Bloom. You're not dreaming. Come with me, little sister." Reaching out her hand towards Bloom and continues to speak. "You haven't lost your powers, Bloom. Look over there."

Showing her the image of a familiar house known to Bloom. "That's my parents' house. I mean, my adoptive parents' house." Referring to Mike and Vanessa who raised her after the loss of her birth parents. Remembering the fond memories with them throughout her life.

"Yes. You were brought up on Earth by two caring and understanding people, who loved you well enough to let you go when the time came."

"And I let them down. Same at Alfea. I didn't meet anyone's expectations. I don't belong anywhere." Feeling it was her fault for being strong enough to protect everyone until Daphne spoke out to support her.

"Bloom, you still are who you were. And your past will forever belong to you. Just like your power. Just like your power."

Taking some form of comfort to her words. "So, what happened to me, then?"

"Nothing that doesn't happen to us all." Daphne explains to her. "You had doubts. You were afraid. You came to believe that what you loved most dearly could be taken away from you. But the truth is no one in the whole universe could ever steal your past, your dreams, or your magic powers. The witches do not own them. They are yours to keep forever. Bloom, to recover your powers, look deep inside yourself."

Before she could ask for more, Daphne was engulfed in a bright light and vanished before Bloom without a trace.

Daphne? Daphne?" Began to search through the caves to look for her and no sign of her sister anywhere. Oh! Daphne!" Remembering what her sister had told her to search for the power within her and all the memories of what made her strong and meant the most to Bloom.

Her beloved pet Kiko.

Meeting Stella, Taren, Ben and Mal in Gardenia.

Arriving in Alfea.

Founding the Winx Club and shared the moments of laughter and joy with her friends.

The determination of becoming a Fairy since her childhood dream and fight alongside her friends.

Even falling in love with someone who had been with her through hard times, fought alongside and protected her from danger.

"Daphne…" She whispered and then felt something within her grew strong.

"GAH!"

For a brief moment, Tezzeret felt a surge of power that caused his artificial eye to glow bright orange. He felt it before and thought it was not possible. "It can't be." Whispers under his breath. But not only did he felt the power from Bloom, but another, far more familiar feeling he hadn't felt since…

'Chandra? But how?'

Uncertain how, but he knew it was her for certain and now it was nearby. He should have told them to eliminate the girl while they had the chance. "Captain! Change course immediately!" Rather than explain it, he needed to find the girl and the boy who was connected to all of this. And a sense of feeling he now realizes what it was but could not be possible.

The first thing Bloom did was transform into her fairy form and flew out of the lake, releasing a surge of power from the Dragon's Flame when she now has her powers back. "I did it! I got my powers back!" Bloom could not have felt so happy and relieved, realizing all along it was still inside her, just only lost confidence in herself. "Taren! Great news!" But looks around to find him nowhere in sight, confused until she heard a beastly roar and saw a giant ape-like Grimm leap out of the woods.

The Beringal looked up to notice Bloom and felt a threat from her.

"Payback time!" Out of nowhere, a flash of light orange shot towards the beast and struck right into the back to set the Grimm flying across the lake. It happened so fast for Bloom to know what happened until she found Taren who just somehow took it out with one kick and a strong aura of magic from him. He looked up to find Bloom and gave a smile to wave at her. "Bloom? Alright, you got your powers back!"

Bloom nods her head and flew down towards him to throw her arms around him. "I have and it feels so wonderful!"

"Much as I like to enjoy this but…" Taren held her close to point towards the Beringal slowly emerging from the lake, growling with its eye narrowed at him. "Let's just say I got an old score to settle with this guy."

Not certain what has been going on but she wanted to help get rid of it so they can find the others and return to the school. "Need help?"

Normally Taren would have wanted to do this on his own, but all that Bloom had gone through after losing them could give her a nice workout for her powers. "Why not."

The Beringal gave another roar and charged towards the couple, but suddenly a bright light engulfed its vision and found the two gone. Stopped from its tempted assault to look around, only to receive a surprise punch in the cheek and an uppercut to the chin. A flash of fire flew around it and unleashed a ball of fire onto the Grimm before it suddenly felt a force of air swirling around it and hurtled up in the air.

The Grimm could not do anything and saw how high it was from the lake, flapping its arms about until Taren shot straight above with his Royal Spark held up high. The next thing it happened was a horizontal slash and his keyblade now pointed down, nothing seem to have happened until a line from the waist to the head formed, realize that it was hacked in two and slowly began to evaporate before the keybearer's eyes as a sign of defeat.

Bloom was able to catch him and make a soft landing by the side of the lake, she jumped in excitement with her arms shot up. "WHEW! That felt so amazing! I really needed that after all that I've been through!"

"Yeah, you did a great job and that fuzzball didn't see it coming." Taren commented and smiles to see Bloom back to her old joyful self again. "Come on, let's go find the others. And give those Trix a big surprise.

"You bet!"

Mal walks into the Winx's dorm with all the girls and Ben brought together with the Pumpkin Mirta. She had some news that could help Mirta out, but no doubt Flora would be worried when she hears it.

"So Mal, what is it you found that could help Mirta?" Flora asked her and hoped for some good news.

"Well, um, really, really good news for all of us. We found someone to help change her back." Mal responded with a concinving smile as she can while trying to not look nervous.

To hear this was a great joy to Flora who rushed over to hug her. "Oh, that's great."

"Hold on, I know that look. There's a 'but' for sure." Stella said when she looked at Mal and Ben's faces. "So, what's the bad news."

This time Ben took over. "Well, not really… bad news for say Just that… well."

Making an entrance was Genie in a doctor's outfit. "Sorry I'm late folks, so where be patient?" Making his way over to Mirta. "Not to worry, I've been doing some practice and ready to get zappin!" Pulled back his sleeves and made eletricity charging from his fingers. But Flora stepped in front before he would continue.

"Wait, are you absolutely positive that you know what your doing?" She asked him to be certain without causing more harm.

"Oh, relax, I found a simple way to do it by giving a fairy a boost." Genie assured her. "Just relax and won't hurt a thing."

Flora trusts him and never did let them down, reaching out her hands over to the pumpkin to begin her magic while Genie helps. What she didn't know was while Ben and Mal showed some confidence in her, Tecna tilted her head to noticed they had their fingers crossed behind their backs until a bright light blinded everyone until it faded away.

Mal had her eyes shut and could not bare to look. "Please say she's back to normal." If Mirta was in a more serious condition, Genie would have another problem on his hand.

"It worked!"

Everyone looked and astonished to see Mirta back to her normal state, Flora cheered and hugged her with a bright smile. She rushed over to hug both Mal and Ben. They were glad to have her back to normal and no longer a vegetable.

Stella leans over the balcony and had a coy grin on her face. "I hate to change subject so suddenly but there's a tall, good-looking guy pacing up and down right under our window. And, Musa, I think he wants to see you."

They find Riven below and surprised to see him, it was also a miracle he was in one piece when they had to hold Mal back from doing anything to him with the meanest spells and curses she could think.

For Musa, she wanted to hide the fact of having feelings for him still and crossed her arms. "Don't be silly! Well, I think I'll go for a little walk."

Mal wore a coy grin and softly shook her head while Mirta and Flora shared the same idea of what was going on.

To make it more fun for them, Stella decided to give Riven the heads up. "Hey, Riven! I think she's coming down!

"Who is? Not wanting to sound too excited when he knew who it was.

"Aw, come on! You know who! Don't play innocent!" Stella said befroe Musa came out, acting all surprise to see Riven.

"Oh! Hi, Riven!"

Suddenly noticed how Riven was nervous and flustered when Musa came to find him. "Um, hi Musa! I was looking for Timmy. I thought he might be around here but... Anyway, I should keep looking. Bye!

They watched in amsuement of how it played out, Mal rolled her eyes. "Let's go see the other, and Mirta, I think you might wanna see your dad. He be wanting to see you back as a human again."

"I know, and no doubt my mom would wanna know what happened." Knowing how she would explain this to them after the battle.

Meanwhile, Sora and Sky made their way to the city, only to find it was completely deserted and no sign of anyone.

"Looks completely empty." Sora believed and looked around.

"Hello? Is anybody here?" The prince called out for any response from possible survivors. "Can anyone hear me?"

Despite any attemps, they received nothing as it was all quiet. Sora knelt down to find something that caught his attention. "Sky, look over here."

Sky came over and found large numerous footprints. "Feels like the Grimm could have come or soldiers, but I'm not seeing any bloodsheds so the evacuation must have happened."

The prince would have felt relieved and hope they got out safely, turns around and gasped to discover a body. "Not everyone." He rushed over to see what looked like a soldier, but what they found was some cuts and burns as if he was cut by a sharp blade or plasma. "What have they done!"

"I would worry about myself, if I were you!"

The two spun around and found a grey furred lycan creature that leaped over a debris towards them with his claws out, but they jumped out of the way and brought out their weapons.

"Come on. I'm not afraid of you!" Sky proclaimed and activated his phantoblade for a battle.

The wolf looked at him and gave a chuckle. "Ah, so its true, you so-called 'specialists' have your own weapons? So have I." Pulls out two silver rods from his belt and activated them, igniting them in a light blue and one being yellow.

PSSSHEEW

"I am Bahrok, loyal member of the Fallen Blades and you… are the prey!" Spinning them in his hands and clashed both with his sabers, Sora's keyblade made an impact against it. Exchanging blows and try to cut the two with his sabers but was proven to be more fast and skilled as a swordsman. Focusing his attention on Sora, forcing him into a defence with brute force, preventing him from using any magic to call out. Sora watched him jump in mid-air, spinning his legs and planted both in the chest to send him back a few feet.

"It has been sometime since I fought a keyblade wielder, a pity I could not take yours as a trophy. But these would make an exception." The hunter grins and was ready to make a strike until Sky intevened and swung his blade across, forcing their foe back while the prince stood before Sora.

Sora took the chance to use something. "Aero!" Performs a wind magic against him, the lycan saw it coming and ran for the closest building to crawl. Bahrok made a powerful sprint from the wall, rocketing himself towards the two and created a force to make a dust cloud.

Both Sora and Sky covered their eyes from the debris and once more jumped to the action to attack, Bahrok blocked and clashed his sabers from them, but was having more of an advantage over the prince with his phantoblade struggling to keep hold. He used his feet to sweep across Sora's legs to throw him off and used it once more to make a forceful kick.

Fortunately, the keybearer had years of combat experiences regained himself from the injury and about to rejoin the fight when a large Ursa and a pack of Beowolves emerged and made him focus on them before they charged in for the battle.

"Sora!" The prince called out to him if he was in danger, but had more problems of his own.

Bahrok used both his sabers to strike down him, forcing the block both his his blade but the strength of the beast was far greater than his, forcing him down on one knee. Thinking fast, he surprised his opponent by deactivating the blade and rolled to the side before the two plasma swords could touch him and struck into the ground of which the prince was.

Sky regained himself and noticed Sora easily taking on the Grimm, least he can put his worries aside and focus on the enemy.

"It seems I underestimated you, boy. You are more skilled than you let on." Sky ignores him and charged forward, swinging his blade at him but Bahrok intercepted it with one of his sabers and grabbed his arm. "But you still lack of focus!" Throws him across and destroyed Sky's weapon.

Sky got up and saw what he did, never felt so helpless when he fought a foe who was faster and stronger than he realise. To see his phantoblade destroyed and without means to defeand himself, but something else he had and hoping to try out.

Balrok approaches him slowly and stopped a few steps away. "Anything to say?"

"Yeah, ever faced a Titan." The prince pulled out a medallion and summons his Titan. "Come out, Caliban!" Appearing before him was a masked armored warrior with the themes of a lion, long white hair and a blade strapped to his back, pulls it out and swung it at the stunned warrior.

"Fool, my lightsabers will cut him down just as I will to you!"

Sky only smirks and took the opportunity to surprise him. "He wasn't going for you. Caliban, help Sora!"

The Titan ran passed him to assist the keybearer to fight against the Grimm, his confusion and distraction was enough for the prince to throw a ball at him which released a cable to wrap around him and gave an electric shock, but not before the prince to punchi his lights out and fell to the ground.

"Gotta thank the teachers for the training." Sky said and watched the Titan acked an Ursa by the arm and stabbed it into the chest while Sora used Light magic to finish them off. "You alright?"

Sora smiles and finished them off. "Yeah, seems you got your fight finished. Who's this?"

"Oh, this is my Titan Caliban. I thought to use him as a distraction to finish him off." Gestures to the downed wolf. "I think I'll take these after losing my phantoblade." Takes the lightsabers from him, thinking they be more better use for good than a villain.

"You think you will win? You have no idea what's coming!" Bahrok proclaimed, not focus on losing his weapons in the battle.

"We'll see, while you be spending your time in prison." The prison said before more Grimm arrived to surround them, but he spotted something in the air and thought he was dreaming. "Bloom?"

Sora looked up and astonished to see Bloom flying and now using magic, they watched her easily take out the remaining Grimm while Taren showed up and cut down the rest on the ground.

"Dad, Sky, you alright?" Taren asked them but noticed how they seem to be fine and a wolf-like creature tied up.

"Yeah, but is that Bloom?" Sky asked in surprise. "But I'm glad to have you guys as a friend."

"Oh, so you mean like a fairy who can pack a punch and a keyblader who can use magic?" Bloom asked when she landed before them with a smile on her face.

"Think that answers his question, but seems like you two made it to the lake." Sora stated and feels strong magic coming from her.

Bloom nods and shares what she found out. "I spoke to Daphne and she helped me set on the right path. But what happened here."

Sora sighs and looks around. "All we can tell is Magix is under seig, had we not warned them in time… who knows what the Grimm, the Trix or Tezzeret's army could have done to them."

"Is there no way to end this madness?" Bloom asked. "What about Alfea?"

"Don't worry, I'm sure the school and all our friends are safe, they're in good hands." Taren assured her when he put his hand on her shoulder.

Sky agreed with him. "He's right, but not sure how long if we stand around here."

Bloom agreed with him and now with the determination to stop this from spreading across the Magic Dimension, the worry about her parents and everyone on Earth would not be so lucky if they launched an invasion. The Trix needed to be stopped. "We got to go!" Gathering her magic to create a dragon avatar, with Taren's help and his half, it was strong enough to carry them all to fly.

"You know the Trix better than we do. What do you think they'll do next?" Flora asked Mal and Mirta with being more experience with the Trix than anyone after spending months in the same school with them. She thought perhaps they know what could help even if they were not up against Tezzeret.

"At the moment, I figured they were more predictable for wanting nothing but power and full of hate." Mal sighs. "But honestly, now they have the flame I can only guess they be toying with us using the Grimm.

"I've never seen them so full of hate and so powerful." Mirta agreed and was more terrified of them than before.

"I think a facial and a manicure would help them relax." Stella tried to lighten the mood.

"Must you always be joking, Stella?" Tecna questioned her.

"What do you want me to do? When I'm serious, I think of Bloom and I go nuts! See?" Stella explains out of worry when they noticed Kiko feeling down and his duckling friend tries to cheer him up. "Even Kiko misses her!"

"He's not the only one." Flora said and was worried for her and Taren. "And I worry for Taren if something happened to him."

"I'm sure Bloom, Taren, and Sky are okay." Musa tries to reassure them. "Perhaps they're having trouble getting back to Alfea. But, I've a good feeling that we'll see them very soon. Besides, Taren's dad is with them so it could be a good sign."

Both the headmistresses notice by the worried faces on the girls' when they have been fightng to protect the school and their friend. Mickey and Riku came up behind them.

"Anything the matter?" Mickey asked.

"The children are beginning to show the effects of battle fatigue." Faragonda replies. "I just hope we can do something about this."

The king nods and agrees with her. "Yes, we're not sure what to do and hope Sora and the kids are doing alright." Hoping for their safe return but holds confidence.

Kairi, Macbeth, and Lea came from behind them. "I told Terra and Aqua back home of the situation and they are alerting Radiant Garden to be ready, they'll have to open up the portal once more for reinforcements.

"Yeah, be good to see more old faces again-" Lea suddenly stopped from his sentence to see a familiar face from the Winx's group and unable to believe it was Mirta. "Mirta?"

Mirta turned around to someone calling her name and gasped to see Lea with a smile on her face. "Daddy!" She ran straight towards the spikey flame user and leaped into his arms. "Ooh! I'm so glad you're safe!"

Lea was happy to see his daughter back to normal and held her softly. "It will take more than a few bites to take me down. I'm just glad to see you're safe." Lets go of her and turned to his friends who were curious and astonished to see this side of him before. "Guys, like you to meet Mirta, my daughter. Mirta, these are my old friends I talked about."

"Wow, Lea a dad? Now I've seen everything." Riku took a good look at her, clearly see some similarities but has darker red hair and a blue streak on one side.

Kairi smiles and gave her a warm welcome. "Well, it's a real pleasure meeting you, Mirta. I just wish it was something different from what we're dealing with."

Mirta smiles and nods her head. "He told me all about you all when I was a kid and very nice to meet you as well."

"Mirta, why not go back to your friends, I'll catch up with you later while I speak with my friends." Lea suggested to her, which Mirta did not mind and nodded.

"Sure, I understand. Just be careful in the battle." She said for being concern before making her way back to the Winx.

Griffin was uncertain how to respond after what happened to Mirta, she would have punished the Trix for not only working with an enemy but abusing their magic. She would not blame Lea if he was angry at her for not doing anything to stop them.

Lea turns to the group for something to ask them. "Listen, can I ask to be sure she's kept an eye on, I know it sounds silly, but just want to be certain she's okay while with the Winx or someone while we're in a fight for our lives." With all paths blocked and trapped in the school, fearing for his daughter's safety and well being with the Grimm could attack or the army of the dark keyblader.

"Not to worry, I'm sure the Winx and the students will keep your daughter safe." The headmistress of Alfea assured him, which made him feel comfident and one of the reasons to fight for his family.

Suddenly Kairi's phone vibrated and answered the call when she immiedately saw Sora's face on the screen. "Sora? Is that you?"

"It's me, and before you start yelling, me, Taren, Bloom and Sky are still together and making our way back now."

"Well you better hurry, we don't know how long we can last for another attack." Kairi told him.

"Don't worry, we'll be there. When have I ever let you be worried?" Sora asked in a cheerful tone which caused Kairi to be silent and gave an annoyed look on her face as if he just asked a stupid question.

"Do you really want to know that answer? Just get back here ASAP." She sighs and hangs up, hoping for her boys to be back save from the Grimm, hoping they found something to stop Tezzeret and the Trix for good.

Elsewhere, Macbeth and Yen Sid sat with both Codatorta and Saladin who have taking the time to play a game similar to Chess, he figured this would be a good way to take their minds from the worry of the next battle and perhaps think of a new strategy.

"All this waiting around and doing nothing is driving me totally crazy." The headteacher said before moving one of his own pieces.

Saladin studied the board before moving his own. "Mmm... it's important to remain calm. Now more than ever."

"He has a point, can't fight while we worry. You get into a state of panic and leave yourself wide open." Macbeth informed him.

"My move." Codatorta found something for his turn to earn a win. "My patience is wearing very thin."

Saladin was somewhat surprise by the move he pulled. "But not so thin as to distract you, I see!"

"Another game?" Codatorta asked or maybe someone who could take a go with him while the headmaster got up on his feet.

"You're absolutely right. It is the waiting which is hardest to bear."

"Perhaps next time we will have a match of our own, if we survive this one." Yen Sid suggested and interested in having a game sometime.

"Maybe they're hiding somewhere." Timmy suggested.

"You think Sky and Taren are okay?" Brandon asked him if he was right.

"Oh, I'm sure they are. I bet they're just choosing the moment to come back to Alfea." Timmy said when he knew the two since they first met on Earth and can imagine Taren would make some entry while Sky would come to their help.

Riven agreed and as far as he knew about them, they were not so easy to beat. HE learned from how powerful the Trix were before the Flame, but Tezzeret was a whole new level that they could barely lay a scratch on. "Timmy's right. The Trix control Magix. They just got to watch out, not to mention Taren's dad is with them so they may be fine for sure."

"That for sure, Sora's a powerful keyblade master and Taren takes a lot from him." Ben told them.

"I know, but even so... Maybe they're lying low somewhere in the dark forest. Biding their time until the dust settles." Brandon said as they walked over to find the Winx, along with Mal, Mirta, and Knut, by the stairs.

"Any news, guys?" Musa asked to know if they heard anything from their friends.

"None at all, Musa." Riven said

"Everything has stopped. It's like everyone is waiting for the worst to happen." Timmy thought.

"Yeah, that sounds just about right for them to make another assault." Mal speculated and did not like it. "They probably just toying with us until they unleash the real assault.

Flora was worried for them and found the dark skies uneasy for her to look. "This dark sky makes me nervous."

"It's been days since we've seen the sunshine." Stella said when it was a while that they ever saw any clear skies, uncertain if it was day or night with the dark clouds above them. "You think Genie or the other keybladers could try to get rid of them."

"Doubtful." Ben said before a purple lightning sturck and startled her.

Timmy gave a nervous wave to Tecna who took noticed and giggled before they heard someone alerted the school

"News from the Dark Forest! The nymphs are bringing us news!"

The students see two small mermaid-like creatures fly towards the teachers.

"We

"Welcome to Alfea. What brings you here?" Faragonda greeted them and surprise to see the Nymphs arrive in the times of crisis. Yen Sid and Griffin were with her to know what they wanted.

"It's Cloud Tower. " One of them proclaimed.

"The army is coming through the dark forest and a large ship above the creatures! They're heading this way!"

"It's the most powerful army we've ever seen!"

"And the Trix leading these horrible creatures on the forefront while the flying fortress remains behind them

This did not go so well for them to hear and perhaps Tezzeret's ship for the invasion. "Go get some rest inside." She offered them for the help they provided. "All right, everybody! Let's get ready. Take up your positions! We won't be caught by surprise!"

Donald gulps and tries to keep his legs from shaking while Della looked ready for action. They were suddenly changed into a pair of military uniforms along with Mickey and Goofy. "Alright, guys, you heard her, we can't be caught with our pants down."

"It will take more to bring the Ducks by surprise." Della proclaimed.

The Aracuan Bird stood beside them and next to Donald who looked over and stunned to see him. "GAHH! What's HE doing here?!"

"Gosh, I never knew the Aracuan Bird could be in Magix, must have hitched a ride." Mickey thought and scratched his ear. "Oh, well, if you came to help. Welcome aboard."

The bird smiles and gave a salute to the king, much to Donald's shock and horror before he rushed to the king to grab by the collar. "NO! He's crazy I tell ya, nuts! Nuts!"

Mickey gently pushed him off of him and didn't seem to buy it. "Nuts? Huh, compared to what we're up against, he's probably harmless. Now, I know you have a… history together, but we got to work together to stop those Trix and Tezzeret. Got it?"

Donald did not like the idea but given no choice but to obey the king. "Well… as long as the stupid bird doesn't do anything stupid!"

"That's the spirit! Genie, can you give a lookout for those Grimm?" The king asked and saw genie with a telescope.

"Not a problem, Mickey! Anything that comes will let you know!"

Above the thousands of Grimm that march through the forest, a large moving ship in black that resembled a shape of a rectangle in upwards and in sideways. Below were the Trix leading the Grimm to make their own assault and requested by Tezzeret, but given the situation they may be pushing their luck further since they completed their tasks.

Sat in their personally made thrones on top of the Grimm for transport, Icy's for the Nevermore, Stormy on a Sphinx, and Darcy with the giant Deathstalker

"I don't like this, not that I'm complaining but maybe we should try to push them to the limit and make the assault when Tezzeret mentioned Keybladers in Alfea." Stormy told her and not wanting to sound afraid, nor did she wanted to face them from the stories unlike the trio they fought.

This however did not concern Icy of the news. "I couldn't care less what you think, Stormy. This is how I want things to be done! Magix must see the might of our troops.

"But don't you think Alfea's getting an advantage over us that way?" Darcy asked her. "I mean, she has a point and Tezzeret would not appreciate us going all out, not to mention most of the troops are his."

"Sisters, our only weakness is your stupid fear! The power of the Dragon is in our hands! What could you possibly be afraid of?" Icy asked them and out of arragonce let out a laugh in belief of how strong they are now with no one able to stand in their way.

Everyone prepared themselves, all the fairies who used transformation magic went to the front, Specialists alongside them, and a legion of Mal's tree warriors stood ready for combat. The keyblade masters and Yen Sid were ready to face them alongside the Winx and the Company of Light.

"You ready for this?" Riku asked his friends.

"Oh yeah." Lea said with confidence.

"Always." Kairi nods to his question.

"Alright, this is it, hold your positions, everyone!" Faragonda gave the order. "The stakes have never been higher!"

They were able to see the army of the horde marching towards them in fast numbers and warriors beside them, continueing the path towards the school until given the word.

"Attack." Icy commanded, and the Grimm obeyed.

The spectres, while obey Tezzeret would follow commands of his allies, at least for now and charged onwards to make the first strike. When they were a few feet, both factions were attacked by fast sprouting roots and tree warriors jumped in surprise to attack them, trying to cut down as many as they can. The first few were easy, but their numbers soon proved too much as many tree creatures were cut down and destroyed. Easily stomped over by the Goliaths and Deathstalkers with their larger sizes to gain the advantage.

The first few managed to break through and attacked the first targets, the ship from above made the surprise attack by firing a barrage of energy streams towards Alfea.

"Protecta Litar!" Griffin ordered and created a large shield with the help of many magic users to cover the entire school, bouncing off the shots and Grimm that could not penetrate the barrier.

"That was close!" Mal said until she saw a purple dragon from one of the Trix to lash out towards them and with lightning. This made her annoyed of how she jinxed it. "Nobody. Say. A word."

Lea and Riku created a barrier of earth with Quake to block their paths, but didn't slow down the Centinels or the flyers. But they were not expecting the Titans to join the fight, Metagolem with his size gained some advantage and Icarus' speed and flight, Shinobi cutting many with his swords and Lindorm fighting against the largest Grimm creatures with brutal attacks.

Aboard the ship, Tezzeret watches the battle from the bridge

"Sir, something is coming towards us fast!"

He knew exactly what it was and ignored them, knowing so with his eyes narrowed, controlling his emotions of anger and frustrations of how it was possible, but he saw it. The princess of Domino had regained her powers and witnessed the fairy battling the Grimm.

"I thought the Trix stripped her of her powers!"

"How is it possible?"

"It matters not, focus on the attack and fire again-" He did not finish his orders when he felt the ship shake and saw something that attack them. A camera footage witnessed Sora who gave a cheeky grin and waved to the drone as he flew on his keyblade glider. Only now another shake caused the ship to tremor, this time another footage revealed the boy, Taren running through the hallways and taking out the soldiers with ease.

"Grr! What are you all waiting for? Stop him!" Tezzeret barked the orders and made his way down to follow. "This time, I will finish off what I should done a long time ago."

A burst of explosion out from the floor in pieces, scattering the soldiers who were close by, Tezzeret remained unaffected and stood where he was to find out who caused it. "I see you decided to make an entry, you do show much of your father's side."

The dust settled and revealed to him was Taren. "Guess it runs in the family." Summons the Light's Rebellion in his hand and took a fighting stance. "This time, we settle this."

"For once, Drocarhen, we are in an agreement." Summons the Seeker of Reckoning and prepared to duel the young keybearer.

Unable to believe what they just saw, Bloom had somehow regain her powers and took out many of the Grimm and shadow soldiers with ease, despite that they have the Dragon Flame.

"Hi everybody! Mind if I join in?" Bloom asked with a smile on her face

"It's not possible. I can't believe this!" Icy stomps her foot down and could not believe what she was seeing.

Stormy was frustrated how she knew something like this could happen, while Darcy looked worried and knew for certain that they were in trouble now.

Bloom turned her focus towards the Trix when they found out she had her powers back. "You thought you were rid of me, didn't you, Icy? Well, you thought wrong." Immediately blasts Icy with her powers and took a direct hit, causing the horde to be halted with no one giving the command.

"What do you think you're doing?" Icy somehow survived the attack and took the skies to meet at her level. "You seem to forget that you're not the only one who possesses the power of the dragon."

Darcy and Stormy followed her and ready to back her up to finish Bloom off.

"Why do we ever meet villains who never know when to quite?" Riku ponders.

"That's just how it goes." Kairi said. "But doesn't mean she's without backup." She points towards the Winx flying to join her in battle.

Mal thought this would be a chance to get payback but then thought of Tezzeret who they have to take out, no doubt Taren be there and have all the fun. She grabs the startled Ben and takes flight.

"Mal?" Ben asked before she lifted him from the ground.

"While they handle the Trix, we should deal with the bigger fish. And I have a feeling, Taren will be there." Listening to Mal's theory and sounded reasonable, they hope the Winx and flew towards the ship.

"I don't know how you do it Bloom, but you always push my buttons." Icy shoots ice but Bloom stops it with a shield.

"Ben?" Mal asked and suggest they give them a hand before they get too far.

"No problem." Aims his keyblade and uses a Gravity spell to zap them, causing the Trix to loose focus for a while and flew past them.

"Don't suppose there's an off switch on you somewhere?" Mal mocks her and smiles to see the annoyed faces on the Trix.

Bloom took the chance to surprise them and with their backs turned, surprising the witches with her powerful flame magic. Decided to go after Icy and chase her across the forest, flew across the lake and blasts her again.

Darcy was shocked of how powerful Bloom was than before. She was unable to understand how it was possible when they took her powers. Even Stormy could not believe what was happening.

Flora took the advantage to use her magic at the two for a surprise attack and used her Gaia Titan to assist her with his wind vortex.

"What in the...?" Darcy never finished her sentence when the two were hurled away by a powerful hurricane and spores flown towards them.

Kairi struck a dark phantom and taken out another soldier by the head, a large Beringal came from behind her and ready to attack, but suddenly a fast moving object struck from behind and crushed the Grimm to the ground. She looked to see it was her husband after making an entrance.

"Missed one." He said with a casual smile before slashing a Beowolf across the jaws.

"Where have you been?" She asked him as both stood behind each other's backs to fight the Grimm.

"Oh, you know, just doing what I can to take out the monsters and stuff." Sora said as if it were a casual moment for them. Unleashed a bolt of lightning and asked her something. "So, did you think of the two?"

Kairi threw her keyblade at the Grimm and retrieves it like a boomerang. "Well, so far I only watched and see that Flora girl shows a caring side to her friends and obviously towards Taren. Ben filled in about her. Reminds me of Aerith. So what about Bloom?"

Hearing her ask about Bloom. "She certainly reminds me of you when we were young. And never knew Taren would be that popular with the girls."

Kairi smiles and giggles over the fond memories between her and Sora, seeing the way their son cares and shows strong feelings for them was obvious as long as he doesn't take advantage of them and they have strong feeling for each other. At first, she was not expected something like this to happen but perhaps willing to give the girls a chance to date him. "Well, just have to get to know them more and as long as he doesn't get the idea into his head and maybe. But we'll have to explain to Hana when we get home."

"No doubt about it."

Riku jumped in and blasted many with his keyblade in the form of a gunblade to see the married couple talking while fighting. "Hey, are we in a fight, or are you two trying to think of another honeymoon?"

"Sorry, but we were having a moment of discussion, Riku." Sora told him and decided to wrap this up. Sora's keyblade turned into a giant hammer while Kairi's took the form of a bow and arrow to go an all-out attack on the monsters.

Riven and his Titan fought against the Lindorm pinned down a King Taijitu and hacked off one of the two heads with his phantoblade, so far the Grimm and the demonic soldiers appear to be scattered all over the place with no coordination. Taking advantage to the confusion to turn the tides in the school's favour, he accidently bumped into the prince and surprise to find him in one piece.

"Where in the world did you guys go off to?"

"Well, we had a little run in with Tezzeret and his own jets and-" Stops from his track to strike down a follower of Tezzeret, causing them to fade into ashes. "Decided to give the two love birds a moment."

Riven would have chuckled and smiles, but noticed the weapons the prince was using. "So, what about those blades you have?"

Sky cut an Ursa and pieces with his two lightsabers, watching it fall and fade. "Let's just say I lost my sword to a fight and decided to get a new set. Magix is a total ghost town, Riven."

"They have outdone themselves this time." Riven commented of the carnage the villains have unleashed.

"Yeah. I think our friends have just about had it with them." Sky told him with how the Trix tormented Bloom and Tezzeret attacking Taren's home and family. Narrows his eyes before they were overshadowed by a giant Manticore until its face was suddenly struck by a stoned fist by Metagolem, taking it down and pinned the Grimm with both hands when a green blade swung across and slashed its exposed neck to finish the job.

Brandon smiles at his friends after coming to their help. "Hey guys. Just thought I would give you a hand."

The battle continued on as Macbeth cuts down another with his sword with his Titan beside him to fight the Ursa, focusing on his foe when a Lancer flew towards him for the surprise attack. Timmy saw it coming and blasts it with his gun but only gave a scratch and made the giant hornet turn towards him, Codatorta came to his aid and slashes across the mid-section.

Goofy bashed the ghostly creatures with his shield and Donald struck them with his magic using fire.

"Gawsh, these ghosts are a lot scarier than Nobodies."

Mickey could not agree more and tries to stay calm and focus. "We just got to finish this off. I hope the kids are doing fine."

Tezzeret unleashed a barrage of blades at Taren, clashing their blades at each other and exchanging blows, Taren avoided the swooping blades that sprout from anywhere and also the enhanced magic from the flame he has, however it was something he learned would work. Making a jump in the air and performs another attack. "Zantetsuken!" Exectues an impposibly fast strike at his opponent, but only struke against a duplicate in Tezzeret's place.

The real dark blader manifested and launched a strike with Thundaga Shot, Taren into defence and gained a distance to perform Cure to heal himself from the recent injuries. Decided to try and stall for time to keep Tezzeret busy. "So, tell me? You got all that power and you can't even take out one annoying kid like me?" Taren taunts him with a smirk. "Man, all those years really made you slow, old man."

Much as he tries to restrain his emotions, Tezzert grinds his teeth and fires another magic blast made of dark red flames. But Taren jumps to the side and fires back at him before runs towards him. "But there's one thing I wanted to know…" Tezzeret thrusts his keyblade at the chest, but missed and saw an orange blur. Taren reappears from behind him for the attack. "What do you know of someone called Chandra Nalaar?"

Giving a full strike with the tip of the blade pointed forward and aimed for his back, but to his surprise by how Tezzeret swiftly moved to the side and held it with his artificial hand. Not a word from him but felt a strong grip of it.

"That name…" He hears the warlock mumble and growls. "The name of the one who defeated me… my own apprentice." Not looking back and easily tell it ticked him off. "How did you come by that name? But it hardly matters now that she's dead for centuries. But a pity it was not done by ME!"

Taren was swung across and hurled to the ground, but he reacted and planted his feet down and called off his keyblade to free himself before summoning it again to block another attack from his opponent. "But she is not my interest, I am however, curious about you. The powers you have, the strange similarities compared to yours and the princess."

Seeing as there was no going back now and felt his friends close by and Bloom giving it all to Icy, Darcy, and Stormy who no doubt were not as focus as he was. "You want to know? Well, here's a surprise." Giving a moment of a dramatic pause. "The Dragon's Fire didn't just choose one person as its vassal, but two."

"WHAT?!" Utterly shocked to hear about this and to learn that the Dragon's Flame could somehow be split in two. He could not believe it, the boy was not royal and could not be related to the Sparks family somehow, this was not possible. "How! That should not be possible!"

"Well here's proof for ya." Focusing on his own power, an image of the dragon appeared revealed to the startled warlock who suddenly realised it was right under their noses the whole time and neither he, nor the witches even realized it when they were too focused on Bloom. The dragon faded but the keyblade illuminated and coated in the orange light surrounding it. "Passed down from my family since the last Keyblade War you started it, even since it was passed on from Chandra."

As if being struck by lightning, it all came together in perfect pieces to him. The unknown cause for Chandra's sudden strength and power, her connection to him, and also… the day when Sora unleashed the sudden burst of power on him many years ago. "Than that means… she had it as well… and could that mean her blood flows through your veins!"

Taren confirms it and nods. "Yeah, and now I will finish what she started."

"Not if you are dead, boy. I admit I might have not expected this." Tezzeret vanished before him and threw a punch in Taren's gut before he laid another blow to the shoulder and kicked him across the hall, flew so fast and grabbed him by the neck before pinned him down to the ground while almost choking him. "But now it will be of great pleasure, of stripping it out of you and drag your cold. Dead. Corpse before your loved ones as they will… burn." His metallic hand glows and lifted it up before making a strike towards Taren's chest, focusing on the magic to pull it out of him by force.

"AAAHHHH!" Taren cried out as he was in immense pain and tries to fight back then let him have it.

Tezzeret was not sure what is happening, it was as if the Flame was fighting back alongside him, decided to use more force to pull it out, even if it means killing him. "You are strong, I'll give you that. But will not save you for long."

"Think again!" Mal shot right at him with her keyblade and send him tumbling across. Ben rushed towards Taren and held him by the shoulders to see him half dazed.

"Taren? You okay?"

"Uhh… 10 more minutes." Taren groans and felt dizzy.

"Take that as a yes." Ben pulled him up on his feet and joined Mal. "Luckily we got here in time."

"You certainly made a good timing." Mal said. "But we got other issues to deal with."

Tezzert threw the debris and looked all torn from his coat, glaring his eyes at the three. "You are starting to get on my nerves." Flames engulf his arms as he was preparing for another round.

"Guys, we got to hold him off. Trust me, I know it's crazy but gotta go with it." Taren whispers to them as he got back on his feet, summons his keyblade once again.

"Well, whatever it is, let's hope it works. Cause we might be on a time schedule here." Mal said and was reluctant to follow whatever he was plotting. Or maybe just hit his head too often to come up with a crazy plan.

Bloom continued with her battle with Icy, blasting her dragon fire at Icy but was frozen in mid-air before it shattered. In Icy's frustration she lashed out and blasted her ice magic but was less focus than she previously was and could not get a hit on the redhead.

Bloom appeared before her with her hands on her hips. "Seems your aim is a bit slow."

Gritting her teeth and once again let her emotions loose, fires a shower of ice shards at Bloom, who repelled them using her fire to melt them.

For the rest of the Winx they fought against Darcy and Stormy who used their magic creating clones of Darcy, creating a storm to blast them but Solwing swooped in and attacked with its wings to surprise them, giving Stella the moment to blast a sun beam at the two and blinded them for a moment.

"Flower Twister!" Flora creates dozens of flowers for an attack spell.

Let's add a touch of music to this." Musa decided to give a hand and blasted them with loud music. However, the Trix were not so easy to beat and lashed out to continue the fight.

With Icy was not having a good moment and trapped Bloom in a ball of ice to drop her into the ground and shatter with her body in it. For a moment she thought she had won and laughed, until Bloom appeared before her and laughed at the startled Icy.

"Huh?!" An unknown female appeared before her and pulled her fist back.

Happened so fast and felt a strong force to send Icy hurtling to the lake. A giant hand made out of water shot out and grabbed Bloom to drag her down, allowing Icy to freeze the lake before she could attempt to escape.

This did not hold her down for long as Bloom broke free with no struggle and flew back up.

Back on Alfea, the Grimm were slowly becoming much weaker than they were and even the phantoms were unable to control them while they were pinned down by the Specialists and Fairies.

Lea stated and found them much easier to take on. "Something's up with them, its as if they were slow."

Genie flew up to see a fight between the Winx and the Trix. "Looks like they're giving them witches a butt whooping!"

"The strength of these creatures is linked to Tezzeret and the Trix's power. As the witches' energy drops, so does the might of their army." Faragonda told them when it seemed to make sense as they were the ones in control of them before the war and now able to achieve victory.

"Which means they must be having a hard time to focus." Saladin said.

"Then we have to be sure they keep it up." Yen Sid added before unleashing another powerful blast of magic with his keyblade at the dark creatures.

"Now, where are Bloom and Icy?" Faragonda pondered and worried for the girl's safety while her friends battled with the two witches.

Icy glared at her arch enemy and the other that joined the fight, no doubt her new Titan which did not matter but was getting on her nerves for the last time. "GRRR! That's enough! I've had it! I'm finished toying with you!" Finishing them off for good and freezes Bloom where she was before the princess could try to defend herself, Sorceral was caught in the ice when she tried to safe her. For Icy she got her where she was then noticed the explosions from the ship, wondering what was going on in there.

Tezzeret leaps over a moving vine and cuts it with his blade, strikes a fist towards Ben who blocks and jumps to throw a kick into his chest with Taren coming from behind, but the warlock adapted to the situation and took on both at once with fast reflexes. He created a pillar of flame towards them to feel its intense heat.

Burst through the walls, a large serpentine creature made out of trees flew in and roars as it throws itself at him like a shark to catch its prey, Tezzeret looked and found himself caught by its jaws to snatch up and tempted to crush him. However, it threw its head about, metal spikes sprouting from the insides until it was incinerated by the burst of energy and allowed Tezzeret to emerge unscathed. Stops from his slowly walk and predicted Mal's ambush when she jumped out of a shadow and dodged the lashing blade. He created shards of glowing blades to surround her and waved his hands to attack.

Mal narrowed her eyes. "Windcutter!" A gust of wind swirled around her body and threw the shards away, trying to send him flying while Ben and Taren try to attack from both sides to limit his chances, but he was too fast and made his own attack.

"Ars Arcanum!" Using the attack he called out, his body glowed and assaults on all three of them at once in thirteen brutal blows. The last attacks with powerful blows threw them off their feet and collapsed to the ground, trying to nurse on the bruises on their bodies while Tezzeret stood before them with a look of disapointment.

"You are weak. None of you understand the true nature of the keyblades' power!" Tezzeret proclaims and hovers over them. "They are weapons that are meant to serve us and used to bring order to the worlds in chaos and disorder. And those who do not follow our ways, should be destroyed."

Taren glares at him over how he thought of what they were used in such a way. "That's not true. The keyblades are more than just weapons, they are part of us to help those in need."

Ben groans and joins him. "We were chosen to use them cause they either saw something in our hearts, or the strong will."

"Least we would never stoop so low as to steal from others and create copies of broken keyblades." Mal pointed out to his keyblade. "How many did you stole or kill to make that thing? Must worth a lot to make it work."

"Enough! I grow tired of this, you are wasting my time!" Focusing a lot of his power into the tip of the keyblade. "Farewell." With a wave of his blade, a large wave of energy blasts towards the trio. Ben, without thinking, grabbed the stunned Mal to shield her as he would to take the blow, Taren didn't move and closed his eyes.

Before the wave could reach them, it suddenly vanished into a mist. "What?!"

Taren looked and almost confused. "Uhhh… what just happened?"

Ben and Mal looked and realised they were safed, taking note of their hold and the prince released her and blushed.

Tezzeret could not understand what happened, he was certain the wave should have finished them but did not reach the targets. "What is going on?" Looks at his keyblade and decided to try another. "Transcendence!"

Again, nothing. happened

It was strange even to everyone who witnessed it.

"What is going on? Why do you not obey me?" Tezzeret demanded to know and held his keyblade out in front of him. Trying to figure out what was wrong, the keyblade did not responded, but slowly the cracks and fragments forged together slowly began to glow and started to move on its own, trying to break free from his grip. "Impossible! What is happening!"

The three looked in wonder after what was going on and witnessed his keyblade… fighting back.

"Wait… that must be what she planned." Taren mumbled.

"What happened? Did you do something?" Mal asked him if this was his plan.

"What did you do, boy?!"

"That would be my doing." Appearing before them was the spirit of Chandra. "Boy, the years have not been kind to you."

"Chandra? But… but how?" Tezzeret stared at her in shock.

"Am I the only one who sees a ghost standing before us?" Mal asked and pointed towards her.

"Yeah, I'll explain later about that." Taren said.

"I knew one day you would come back, and took the time to study and research the magic of the keyblades. But knowing it would take too long, I decide to leave the knowledge to my descendants and anyone would could continue on and pass it on to the next." She explains to him and continues. "But now finally, with the Dragon's Flame to bring light back into the fractured keyblades, they would now be restored to their true selves and the shackles you bined them!"

He watched as the keyblade slowly losses its form, fragments of the blade pull themselves away, breaking from the magic that bound them together. He tried to regain control, but the force of the power inside was no longer in his control.

"Like the Keyblades, the Dragon Flame chooses its host with potential. It cannot be controlled by someone a cruel and malicious monster like you!" She proclaimed and summons her own keyblade to shoot a beam of light into his heart. The Seeker of Reckoning finally shattered and the fragments splint into several, each taking the form of the previous keyblades they were once more and circled around him. Struggles to break free and felt their light burning the darkness inside him. "NO!"

Taren, Ben, and Mal's keyblades appeared and glowed, understanding what they needed to do and taken the moment to finish him off for good. Mal took the first strike, using another to strike him across the waist and back before she restrained him with her plant vines. Holding him down for Ben to make his move, clubbing him from the chin and grabbed him broke his metal arm.

Using his enhanced strength to hurl him around before releasing his grip, sending Tezzeret flying in the air and allow Taren to make the final blow.

Taren glowed bright and flew up towards the heavily wounded cyborg with disdain and pity to him instead of showing hatred. "This ends now!" He proclaimed and swung the Light's Rebellion with the force of the flame to make the final blow.

Sparks of flames and light swirling around his body. "Dragon's….. RROOAAARRRR!"

It was not possible, Tezzeret could not stop the sheer power and tried to block it with a shield, but it was not enough, the last thing he saw… was the dragon unleashing its mighty roar and flew towards him. 'This… cannot.. BEE!' In his last thoughts before the sheer blast struck him so fast and forced throw several flows below with the sheer force of impact.

The outside of the ship shook and gave out a loud explosion that it drew everyone's attention.

Stormy and Darcy were about to make heir move when they saw something happened to Tezzeret's ship. "The hell was that?!" Stormy exclaimed in shock.

"I don't know, but something must have happened or he went a little overboard." Darcy thought.

"Now girls!" Stella proclaimed and gathered her friends to combine their magic to hit them with everything they got, the Trix lost their focus and let their guard down, thus became their undoing before the burst of light hit them.

Riku looked up and had an idea. "Stopra!" He blasted them with his magic to freeze them where they floated.

"NOW!" Griffin saw it as their chance to capture the Trix, both the headmistresses create an object to capture them, trapping the two in a sphere.

"That should hold them." Faragonda said.

"Hey look!" They noticed many of the Grimm slowly weakened and one by one, they all evaporated into black mist. All those who were fighting them stopped and saved when the creatures vanished, even the corrupted phantoms of Tezzeret's stopped and staggered before they vanished. Only those that were not affected by the dark magic were the now remnants of Tezzeret's army who were left in confusion and shock of what was happening.

"What happened? The Grimm are gone?" Timmy asked.

Donald was picked up by a Beringal and suddenly it faded away, leaving the duck to fall to the ground, much to his relief. "Phew!"

Sora looked to witness the ship in more damage and sensed something had happened, which made him smile. "Something tells me I know what happened."

Unaware of what was going on, while focus on her so-called 'victory, Icy laughed of how she believed to have won. "Try breaking free from that!" But stops to hear an explosion and saw the ship belonging to Tezzeret was heavily damaged. "What on-" But her worries began to get worse when the ice she trapped Bloom was wrapped by a large fire dragon. Everything she had worked for was falling apart before her eyes. "No! NNOOO!"

The ice evaporated and Bloom was once again free, engulfed in a bright orange light as bright as the sun.

Mal was the first to get up and unable to believe what just happened, or if she was dreaming, but they actually... defeated Tezzeret. "Did... did we win?"

Ben got up to walk beside her and looked for their friend, he spotted Taren on the ground, a little torn and no longer glowed but looked to be fine. "Tare? You alright?"

Taren groans and slowly sat up with his arms to support his weight. "I think... I might have done it a little overboard."

"A little?" Mal was bewildered by how 'little' he meant after seeing the large hole he just made. "You went all out like a meteorr!"

"Remind me not to do that again. Can barely know how it happened." Taren requested but managed to get himself up on his feet with support and saw the damage. "It's over. We really did it!"

The moment of victory was short lifted when suddenly the ship began to shake, a lot and sounds of large metal creaking and rumbling.

"Oh, we did it alright. Think its time we got out of here." Ben suggested.

"No arguments from me!" Mal wasted no time running for her life with the boys behind her, not waiting to see if Tezzeret was still alive or not with the ship on the brink of destruction.

Several floors down, right to the engine room that was heavily damaged and fires spewing everywhere. Lying on the floor was the heavily wounded Tezzeret, he did not moved but felt weak, his artifical arm, no longer able to hold itself fell into pieces with all the magic in him was no more. "So... this is to be my fate." He spoke in a rasping tone, but instead of sadness, he grew a grin. "At least I did my part. They are indeed strong, but have no idea... that this... is only... the beginning." Another rupture blew up close and as the alarms blaring. His life was leaving him but gave out the last words before his fate be sealed.

"The Fallen... wil rise... again..."

Consumed by the explosion so fast and ended his life, along with the entire ship that blew up in a bright light.

Everyone from Alfea, to Magix, and the far corners of the forest watched in awe and shock as the ship blew up and disintrigated, the remaining Grimm in the middle of battle stopped and ceased to exist, black mists blown into the air by the winds as every one of them was fading away.

"Hey! The monsters are disappearing!" Launchpad shouted out in surprise.

"WHOOHOO!" Della cheers and hugged her brother. "That was awesome! The boys totally want to come here for the next adventures!

"Oh no." Donald could only groan, not needing an imagination of what the nephews would do.

Stella jumped up in joy and smiles. "YES!"

Yen Sid could only smile to see the grimm vanish and proven the defeat of Tezzeret and the Trix

"I get the feeling that Bloom and the Keybladers are behind all this." Saladin believed so and shared a bright smile with everyone.

The soldiers who were all thats left could not believe what they just witnessed, to see the army disappear and the lack of support. They considered making a run for it but the only escape route was blocked by Metagolem and Genie created a cage for all of them in a police uniform.

Macbeth looked to the now destroyed ship a ship as it faded away, feeling proud of the three for what they have done and finally put the past behind him after so long. "It is finally over."

Brandon, Riven, and Timmy came up behind the Winx who recovered from the battle and smile at them, offering a hand to help them up. Flora got up and saw something flying towards them, she got a good look at what it was, what she found made a smile of joy on her face and waved to them.

In the air was a light jet making a somewhat graceful landing with Mal taking the steering.

"Mal! Easy, easy!"

"This was a late present! I don't want it scratched!" Taren argued.

"Well, if you had used Cure, I wouldn't be driving!" Mal stated. "What's wrong with my driving?" She was about to ask when accidently pressed something to deactivate and revert back into the rod just before they tumbled over before the group.

"Grr, a little warning next time." Ben muttered and looked up to see their friends before them. "Hey guys!"

Taren groans and about to get up when suddenly pounced by a flash. "Ow! Ow! Owowowow!" He yelped in pain and realised it was Flora with her arms around him.

She giggled and smiled at him. "Sorry! Didn't think you be back, but so relieved." She did not give him the chance to speak before pressing her lips onto his own and rested on his lap.

"Eh hem?" The moment was ruined... only to realise standing before him were his parents and Riku.

"Uh... mom, Dad..." Taren immediately flushed up as did Flora for acting out of random and instantly got up on their feet. "This is... Flora and a... uh, very... close friend."

Mal grins and in a moment of mischief came into her mind. "Oneofhisgirlfriends!" Making a mocking sneeze and caused some to snigger from her joke while Taren narrowed his gaze at her for dropping the subject on him.

"Oh, we can tell how close she is." Riku could not help but hold back the grin and wondered

"What happened in there?" Sky asked while not wanting to ruin the moment, but could not help but be curious.

Mal and Ben immediately pointed towards Taren while he held Flora in his arms who looked a little sheepish. "Ehhh, well, that's a funny thing to explain."

"Hey, where's Bloom?"

To answer their question, Bloom appears from the sky with the unconcious Icy in her arms after defeating the last of the Trix, placing her down on the ground.

"Oh! I thought I'd seen the last of you, Bloom." Stella brushed a tear from her eyes in relief to see her again.

With the battle now over, Griselda arrived with the enforcers to round up the remainning invaders and the Trix who were bounded by the arms and prepared to be taken to prison.

"Sorry for the late arrival, miss Faragonda, but with the Grimm no longer a threat we were able to make a safe journey back to Alfea." Griselda explains to her and noticed the damage of the school. "I wished it could have been sooner."

"At least its all over now and Alfea is safe." The headmistress said and watches the Trix be taken away. "No sign of Tezzeret's remains, it is confirmed he is truly gone and same to the remains of his ship which shouldn't be a problem to clean up."

Lining them up and taken through the portal, the Trix followed with reluctance and gave a hated look towards the Winx, keybladers, and Specialists who ruined their plans before they vanished.

Shortly after the Trix were gone, Faragonda called for the students to gather for something to say to them before "May I please have your attention? We are gathered here to celebrate a momentous event. Alfea has always been a school for fairies, and so, in honor of the great courage, loyalty and outstanding spirit of collaboration shown by some of you, especially during the last few days, I've decided to renew the concept of the modern fairy with a new word - "Winx!"

All the girls cheered after the announcement, taking the liking to the new idea from the headmistress. After that, the party was made for all who took part in the battle and fortunate to make limited casualties with the aide of the keyblade masters. The school would be given aid from Disney Castle, the Radiant Garden's forces under the command of Squall to help restore the damage.

"Looks like everything is alright again." King Mickey said and raised a drink. "Here's to us!"

"Cheers!" Donald, Goofy, Della, and Launchpad all cheered and raised their drinks.

"Boy, this was just like the battle against the moon invaders, or maybe the episode of Darkwing against his mortal enemies." Launchpad got really excited and continued on with adventures based on his favourite show.

"Brings back a lot of memories, ain't it." Goofy said.

Donald took a sip of his drink when he saw Kiko and Pepe holding a present that had his name, feeling touched and accepted it. "Aww, thanks." Eager to see what was inside. And sprung out was the Aracuan Bird who gave the shocked duck mage a kiss on the beak before he made a run for it. Shaking his head and now mad to fall for a trick. "QQUAAHHH! STUPID BIRD!" In a fit of rage, Donald chased him throughout the party.

Della who watched the whole thing let out a laugh and found it hilarious. "Oh, I knew he fell for it! Great job guys." The idea came from her and brought the two animals in for the plan to make her brother mad. "That never gets old."

On the other table, the teachers were having their moment of celebration and held out drinks to have fun.

"You thnk I should." Saladin questioned if he can try it.

Faragonda gave a confident smile. "Why of course, go ahead!"

"I'll take that challenge as well." Macbeth grins and held his own. They watched them both chug down the whole drink until the last drop was left. "Ahh! That hit the spot!"

Wizgiz laughed and accidently knocked over Griselda's glass on her outfit, while others laughed but to their surprise, the head of discipline actually laughed as well.

"So now what will you do, Macbeth now that your mission is over." Saladin asked him and knowing it would be time of him to leave.

"I'll be returning to Earth and continue teaching in New York University. Now that its all over, I can focus on things back home." Macbeth explains to them. It would be sad moment to leave but he enjoyed his time in the Magic Dimension. "The students have grown strong and now I won't be needing to train them as Yen Sid will be taking over."

"It will be interesting to see them reach their potential." Griffin who remained quiet had agreed and eager to see what the future will bring for them.

"Now this is something I've been waiting for since we came here." Taren proclaimed and having the time of his life, sitting with his friends and no more having to worry about the Grimm, the Trix, and no more Tezzeret. They can finally relax and not have to worry about going on missions, he was thinking of the adventures for the fun and see new worlds after completing his training and the exams. Having a moment with them and were very proud of him of what he did to save everyone, he was eager to learn more about his new powers in the future and what they found about Destiny Island's secret origins.

"You bet." Bloom agreed as she sat with him with Flora on the other side, they allowed Knut to join the table after the help he gave them. Smiles and raised her glass to give an announcement. "May I propose a toast to Brandon and Stella?"

"Why? Did I miss something?" Sky asked if something happened that he didn't know about.

Brandon was curious as well and asked. "Yeah. A toast for what?"

"What do you mean? It's a toast to celebrate the fact you are not a prince and that I don't mind one bit." Stella told him and grabbed his arm before she smiled with him.

"Really? I would have thought you be raising your glasses for something else?" Mal gave a coy grin towards Taren, Bloom, and Flora who shared the same bashful faces. But the girls smiled and took his arms which made him turn more red as a tomato.

"So, I take it your parents approve of it?" Ben asked them.

Taren nervously chuckled. "Well, they were more of willing to give it a chance." "We thought maybe to have a get together with our folks and why not celebrate it at his home." Bloom told them.

"Now that be something to look forward to." Mirta said and almost eager to see the worlds her father told her baout.

Flora nodded and heard about Radient Garden which she was more exctied to visit after what she heard about. Takes a moment to give someone else a tease. "But something tells me that we'll soon have another reason to raise our glasses. Right, Tecna?" She sees both the Fairy of Tech and Timmy bashfully smiling at each other.

Kiko and Pepe carried a pile of fruits across the table, trying to avoid everyone but the weight of the fruit they stacked up eventually collapsed on the rabbit and duckling, causing everyone to laugh.

"Oh, better get going for a little something to perform, Musa?" Mal got the girls to do something to make something. The group watched in curiosity as they took the steps to gain the audience's attention. "Hey, everyone! Hope you're all having a rgeat time, and so we thought to make this song by someone who wanted to give it her all. Musa!" Musa came on stage as everyone claps to see her stand before a microphone and other girls who joined used instruments to play.

"This is something I made and hope you all like it." Musa clears her throat as the soundtrack plays up before she begins to sing.

Oh oh oh..oh..o...oh..oh..oh..o...

You used to say I was nothing,
wasn't worth it
Made me believe that my love
for you was counterfeit
Words cut deep,
they brought me to my knees

You took my world
and you tore It into pieces,
thought you were it
and I could never leave this
But I found the strength inside of me

I found my light inside the dark
I filled the hole within my heart
You have no power over me

Watch me rise above all the lies
I won't Break,no matter how hard you try

Watch me rise, I'm touching the skies
Nothing can't stop me
from living my life

Watch me Rise
oh oh oh..oo..
oh oh oh o...
Watch me Rise

oh oh oh
oh oh oh o...
Watch me Rise

Insecure, underneath I was hurt it
I spent my whole life
striving to be perfect.
I used toworry what others thought of me

I found my light inside the dark
I filled the hole within my heart
You have power over me

Watch me rise above all the lies
I won't Break,no matter how hard you try

Watch me rise, I'm touching the skies
Nothing can't stop me
from living my life

Watch me Rise
oh oh oh..oo..
oh oh oh o...
Watch me Rise

oh oh oh
oh oh oh o...
Watch me Rise

oh...oh..oh...oooo...

Watch me rise above all the lies
I won't Break,no matter how hard you try

Watch me rise, I'm touching the skies
Nothing can't stop me
from living my life...

Watch me Rise
oh oh oh..oo..
oh oh oh o...
Watch me Rise

oh oh oh o...
oh oh oh o...
Watch me Rise

The crowd cheers and applaus to her performance, Riven who watched her sing was unable to find the words of how amazing she was while the Winx cheered for their best friend. Bloom smiles and while it was all over, she wanted to find someway to restore her home, know more about her birth parents, her past, and understand so much about herself that remain unanswered. But now with her friends by her side, she was not alone and would find a way to see them again.
