Omake Chapter: Gotta Dance!
Planet Melody, Musa's wold….
At an island city on Melody, a city-wide event was occurring.
"Welcome, one and all, to another music-filled night at Melody's annual City Party Music Fest! Let's all go wild!"
The crowds cheered as the music played after the MC's announcement. The city was jam-packed with citizens and attendees. Spotlights filled the air, lighting up the night sky. In the central square before a clock tower was an elevated stage platform fifty feet high where the MC made his announcement. The bottom of the stage had huge built-in speakers to amplify the music through the whole city. On either side of the platform were three smaller elevated platforms for the backup musicians and dancers for the shows. Walking through the streets were Ranma and the Winx girls. Also joining them were Ranma's adopted sisters, Shampoo and Ukyou.
"It's like one giant party out here!" said Ranma.
"Well Melody's power medium is through music, so of course, we'd have wild parties here, too!" said Musa as she lead the group.
"It's nice of you to take us all here, Musa." Said Flora.
"You're all my buddies! How could I not?" said Musa.
"Thanks for that! I needed a cooling off period from classes!" said Stella.
"But you always take cooling off periods, Stella." Said Layla.
"Shopping isn't a cooling off period, it's a necessity!" Stella argued.
"Alright alright, let's just all try to enjoy ourselves!" Bloom laughed.
Ranma couldn't help but inwardly chuckle at his roommates' antics. It has been two weeks since the battle on Lyco. Classes at Alfea were starting to get more challenging, which was more fun for Ranma. Thankfully, the weekend has come and Musa had invited them all to Melody to attend the city party festivities. It was then that he spotted a pair of people up ahead. He was able to easily make out the form of a certain sexy, practically naked, blue-haired catwoman escorted by a human man. Because of this, she had received a lot of, pardon the pun, cat-calls from the male crowds, causing her to blush.
"Hey there! So you've made it!" Felicia waved.
"Felicia!" called out Ranma as he and his group rushed up to her and her escort. "It's been a while!"
"So what brings you to Melody?" asked Musa.
"I'm part of the festivities here as a guest performer." Replied Felicia. "I'll be doing a musical number."
"I look forward to hearing it." Said Bloom. It was then that she and the others noticed the man with Felicia. He was a tall, well-built man with wild medium-length silver hair and a blue kung fu outfit with a yellow sash. "Who's your friend?"
Felicia and the man could only chuckle. "Right, of course you wouldn't be able to recognize me in this form."
"I forgot, you haven't seen his other form yet while we were on Lyco." Said Felicia as they wrapped an arm around each other's waist.
It then dawned on them. "Wait… is this man… Jon?" asked Tecna.
"WHAT!? Really!?" said Stella in surprise.
Ranma could only nod as he recognized the gold colored pupils in Jon's eyes, the same as on the werewolf.
Jon could only grin. "Yep, that's right. It's me, Jon."
"So this is what you look like as a human…" said Flora.
"Wow, you're pretty handsome, sugar!" said Ukyou as she looked him over.
"Heh, thanks, and that's why Felicia married me!" Jon said jokingly as he pulled his wife close to him, causing her to yelp and giggle.
"Oh! Stop it Jon!" Felicia giggled. "So are you all enjoying yourselves?"
"We were just about to head to the central square to catch some of the shows." Replied Bloom.
"That's great! We were just about to head there ourselves. Since we have the same destination, why not go together?" asked Felicia.
"That good idea! Let's go!" said Shampoo.
The group of eleven walked off towards the main attraction of the Music Fest. Jon then leans over to Ranma.
"Escorting eight ladies? You're quite bold, Ranma." Jon teased.
Ranma's face soon became as red as his shirt at that comment.
"Jon! Don't tease Ranma so much!" said Felicia.
"Sorry, Kitty-cat, couldn't resist!" laughed Jon.
In a dark alleyway…
Hiding in the shadows of the alleyway were four of the most notorious magic users in all the Magix Realm. Valtor and the Trix kept themselves hidden as they spied on Ranma's group leaving.
"There they go…" said Stormy.
"So what's the plan?" asked Darcy.
"I still have to pay them back for what they did!" said Icy as she started having dark thoughts about the faeries, but her anger was more focused on the adopted sisters of Ranma.
"Patients, ladies." Said Valtor. "They've become formidable since those three outsiders joined them. We shall strike when the time is right. We shouldn't cause TOO much of a panic now, can we?"
The Trix could only chuckle at the underlying meaning. Valtor and the three witches vanish into the darkness in order to ambush Ranma's group.
Back with Ranma…
The pig-tailed boy had a nagging feeling in the back of his mind that he was being watched. Being a martial artist in Nerima where he was constantly getting attacked had helped him develop a danger sense. That coupled with his new magical abilities helped to heighten this sense.
"What wrong, Ranma?" asked Shampoo.
"We're being followed…" replied Ranma.
"Huh? By who?" asked Ukyou.
Felicia and Jon also stopped as they, too, sensed they were being followed. A wolfy growl could be heard from Jon's throat. "I know that scent anywhere…"
"He's here…" said Ranma.
The Winx girls were shocked.
"Is it Valtor!?" asked Flora.
"No! Why now!?" said Musa in frustration.
"Don't worry, I don't think he'll try anything major just yet." Said Ranma. "His power level feels low, probably still smarting from that beating we gave him back on Lyco."
"So what're we gonna do?" asked Stella.
"I wouldn't want to involve the people here if a fight broke out. It would be horrible." Said Bloom.
Musa then looks up after hearing what Bloom said. "Hold on! That gives me an idea!"
"Huh?"
Musa then drags them all off to the side. She relays her plan to them. Ranma and Jon looked shocked while Felicia looked amused at the idea.
"You know, that just might work! And it'll be fun, too!" said Felicia.
"A bit unorthodox, but sounds like the best course of action.." Said Tecna.
"Let's do this!" said Layla.
All of them rush over to the main elevated platform stage.
Some time later…
"Coming all the way from Planet Lyco, it's Felicia Talbain!" announced the MC. There was a resounding cheer from the thousands of party attendees and fans throughout the city. Large viewing monitors materialized through magic appeared above the platform, displaying Felicia's image as she steps up and waves to the crowds. "She's come to Melody to give us a song we'll never forget!"
Felicia stands on the platform and waves to her fans. Behind her stood her husband, Jon, and Musa. The musical faerie was currently draped in a dark cloak and chanting a spell quietly.
"Thank you, everyone! It's great to be here!" said Felicia. "Let's get this party started! Nothing can stop us now! When the music starts kickin', you'll all dance 'til you drop!"
That was Musa's cue. She let's fly her spell in which she causes a huge magenta-colored orb to appear in the sky. Upon closer inspection, it was a giant disco ball. It flashes briefly, catching all in the city with its light, including a certain group of dark beings who were about to unleash their ambush.
"Huh!? What was that light!?" asked Stormy as she got an eyeful.
"Who cares? Let's attack!" said Icy.
"I don't think so…"
Valtor and the Trix look about after hearing the voice and see Ranma standing before them. On either side of him were Bloom and Stella.
"Hmph… you saved us the trouble of hunting you down." Said Valtor.
"You're all going down!" said Darcy as she and her cohorts got into spell-casting stances.
"This is a party. Why not enjoy yourselves instead?" said Bloom mockingly.
It was then that the platform speakers came to life. The whole city echoes with the upbeat music. As soon as the music started, Valtor, Icy, Darcy, and Stormy froze in their tracks. Ranma, Bloom, and Stella scattered into the city. Suddenly, all of the people in the city slowly raised their arms in synch with each other. Once the next beats started, they people started to move their bodies to the rhythm.
On the main stage platform, Felicia raises her arms, then brings them in as she spins around. She stops and throws her head and hands down, in which the floor of the platform and the ones around it light up. Then she, Jon, and all the people started to move from side to side, snapping their fingers at the beats. The giant disco ball made by Musa reflected light all over the city as the people danced. Down below, Valtor was dancing in a similar manner, but his expression was less than enthusiastic. The whole city came alive as the people dance to the music.
Musa's Musical Hypnosis spell worked like a charm.
As Felicia danced with Jon, she started to sing.
Kotoba dake ja tsutawaranai tsutaekirenai (Just words can't be understood, can't be fully conveyed)
Kokoro ga karada oikoshite (My feeling outruns my body)
We see Musa has ditched her cloak, revealing she's in Enchantix mode. She dances in the air.
Ima sugu kimi ni aitai yo (I want to see you now)
Chotto datte matterannai (I can't wait any longer)
Jon dances behind Felicia as she sings.
Mayonaka no hodou toiki o koorasete (The midnight show stops my sighs)
In an alleyway, from left to right, Darcy, Icy, and Stormy started to dance in synch with each other. As they dance, Bloom, Stella, Flora, and Tecna quickly dance by in front of them, passing the screen. After Tecna passes, Layla dances in front of the Trix in synch with them.
Ready to, steady go hashiridashita (Ready to, steady go the feeling that)
Omoi wa furusupiido de (Began to run full speed)
Ranma dances high on top of the clock tower.
Tsuyoku hayaku takanaru kodou (This heart that beats strong and fast)
Setsuna sa aa tomaranai (My loneliness won't stop)
Valtor continues to dance against his will in the streets.
Lovin' you, lovin' me kasoku tsuite (Lovin' you, lovin' me it's accelerating and)
Kontorouru dekinai yo (Can't be controlled)
The people being to dance through the street, stomping to the beat. An old man who was barely able to keep himself up with his cane looks at the throngs of people.
Umareta te no kono itoshisa o (The shooting star wanting to)
Todoketai nagaruboshi (Deliver this newborn importance)
People in different parts of the city started to dance the night away. Suddenly, the old man from before drops his cane and started to do a cartwheel, ending with a back somersault. He began to dance to the music.
The music plays as the people danced. On the platform stage, Jon grabs Felicia and swings and flips her around himself. He throws her upward, the catwoman performing a few somersaults before she falls and get caught in Jon's arms. He spins her onto her feet, and she resumes singing.
Hajimete da ne kazoku ja naku tomodachi ja naku (It's the first time not as family, not as friends)
Konna ni chikaku ni kanjiteru (I feel you close to me)
Shampoo and Ukyou dance in a circle of people, each mirroring the other's movements.
Itsudemo kimi ni aitai yo (I want to see you anytime)
Motto ippai gyutto daite (Embrace me more)
Before a fountain, Bloom, Stella, Flora, Tecna, and Layla dance in rhythm.
Hoshizora no benchi kuuki ga furueteta (The air was shaking at the bench under the starry sky)
Zooming out, the Trix are dancing in front of the Winx Club. They all end by simultaneously tossing their hair back.
Ready to, steady go afuredashita (Ready to, steady go the overwhelming)
Omoi ga hitotsu ni natte (Feeling becomes one and)
Ranma dances within a circle of people cheering him on.
Kobore ochiru sono shunkan ni (At that moment it dripped)
Negai o aa kanaete (Please grant my wish)
Shampoo and Ukyou jump in on either side of Ranma and dance in synch with him. Suddenly, the ghostly images of Sky, Brandon, Helia, Riven, Timmy, and Nabu appear and dance along with the three in synch.
Lovin' you, lovin' me mune ni himeta (Lovin' you, lovin' me the light hidden)
Hikari wa honmono dakara (Within my heart is true)
The three martial artists and the phantom specialists squat down and hold their bodies parallel to the ground. They spin around on their hands, doing the turtle, and go into a windmill, swinging their legs around. They finally end it with a handstand spin.
Zutto zutto kagayakihanatsu (The eternal shooting star that)
Eien no nagareboshi (Shines forever and ever)
Musa dances on top of the fountain behind the Winx Club.
The other Winx girls jump up and activate their Enchantix. They join up with Musa and fly in a circle while still dancing to the beat of the music. Valtor dances in synch in front of the Trix. The Winx Club dance/orbit above them while implementing the next phase of Musa's plan. They shower their faerie dust on them in a subtle manner, making the four perpetrators glow magenta for a moment. With that done, they break off and fly towards the stage platform. Each girl flies and lands on one of the smaller elevated platforms on either side of the main one.
Kotoba dake ja tsutawaranai tsutaekirenai (Just words can't be understood, can't be fully conveyed)
Kokoro ga karada oikoshite (My feeling outruns my body)
Bloom and Stella get their groove on as they move to the music on each of their platforms. Their images show on the magical viewing screens as they dance, followed by images of Flora, Musa, Tecna, and Layla. The screen goes back to Felicia singing.
Ima sugu kimi ni aitai yo (I want to see you now)
Datte zettai matterannai (Because I can never wait)
Behind Felicia, Jon dances, and is soon joined by Shampoo and Ukyou who had jumped up to the platform, landing on either side of him.
Osaekireru hodo hanba ja irarenai (I can't remain calm to stop my feelings)
Ranma moonwalks in front of the base of the platform stage, followed by the ghostly Specialists, acting like his afterimages. One by one, each of the Specialists moonwalk into Ranma, fusing back into him. Doing a spin, he squats down and performs a mighty back flip, propelling him into the air and landing on his feet next to Jon, Ukyou, and Shampoo behind Felicia on the elevated platform stage. (1)
Ready to, steady go hashiridashita (Ready to, steady go the feeling that)
Omoi wa furusupiido de (Began to run full speed)
Jon comes forward and dances alongside Felicia.
Tsuyoku hayaku takanaru kodou (This heart that beats strong and fast)
Setsuna sa aa tomaranai (My loneliness won't stop)
Ranma, Ukyou, and Shampoo dance behind the were-couple.
Lovin' you, lovin' me kasoku tsuite (Lovin' you, lovin' me it's accelerating and)
Kontorouru dekinai yo (Can't be controlled)
One by one, we see each of the Winx girls dance on the surrounding platforms.
Umareta te no kono itoshisa o (The shooting star wanting to)
Todoketai nagaruboshi (Deliver this newborn importance)
Down below, the citizens all dance to the performing stars' movements.
The music continues on until the fireworks were shot into the sky for the big finish. At the same time, Valtor and the Trix vanish without a trace.
All the people gave a resounding cheer at the spectacular musical performance by Felicia and her group. The performers in question took a bow as they soaked in the applause. The MC makes his way onto the stage.
"Wow! What a performance! It was dynamite, as expected from the lovely Felicia Talbain and her dancers! Let's hear it for them, everyone!"
Felicia and the others waved to the crowds as the people's cheers and applause became deafening.
Later…
"That was an awesome performance, Felicia!" said Ranma as they walked down the night street through the throngs of party people.
"Thanks. You all were a great help, too!" said Felicia.
"Shampoo just wondering, what happen to dark wizard and witch girls?" asked Shampoo.
"I'd like to know that, myself." Said Ukyou. "Also, how we were all dancing on auto-pilot."
Musa could only blush. "It was a musical hypnosis spell. The giant mirror ball I made in the sky causes all who gets shined on with its light to dance to the sound of music and not stop until it ends."
"Wow, that must be some spell!" said Ukyou.
"As for Valtor and the Trix, we were able to transport them away with a delayed teleportation spell that would activate once the song was over." Tecna explained. "They're probably back in their hole of a hideout right now."
"I've also added a little extra for them…" Stella said with a devious expression.
"Huh? What did you do, Stella?" asked Bloom.
"Heheh, Musa's hypnosis spell would last until the song ends, right?" Everyone nods. "Well, I've also attached a spell that will keep repeating the song in a loop, so they'll have no choice but to dance to it!"
Everyone laughs at this.
"Wow, Stella, nicely played!" said Layla as she continued to laugh with the others.
"Why thank you, dear Layla!" said Stella. "The best part is that the spell will last for a week at least!"
"You're quite the sneaky one, aren't you?" said a giggling Flora.
"Who… me?" Stella said in mock innocence.
They all continued to laugh and then went back to enjoy the rest of the City Party Music Fest.
At Shadowhaunt…
A certain group of dark magic users continued to dance uncontrollably to the same song which echoed through the dark palace. The dark, miserable place started to get a little more lively.
Ready to, steady go hashiridashita (Ready to, steady go the feeling that)
Omoi wa furusupiido de (Began to run full speed)
Tsuyoku hayaku takanaru kodou (This heart that beats strong and fast)
Setsuna sa aa tomaranai (My loneliness won't stop)
Lovin' you, lovin' me kasoku tsuite (Lovin' you, lovin' me it's accelerating and)
Kontorouru dekinai yo (Can't be controlled)
Umareta te no kono itoshisa o (The shooting star wanting to)
Todoketai nagaruboshi (Deliver this newborn importance)
"What's going on!? I can't stop dancing!" said Darcy.
"What did those insects do to us!?" said Icy as she dances to the music.
"Help! I can't stop either!" said Stormy.
'This is so humiliating…once this wears off, I shall crush them!' Valtor thought as he and the Trix danced with no sign of ceasing.
Little did they know that they'll be dancing for a week straight. By the time the musical hypnosis repeated loop ends, they'll all lose the feeling in their limbs.
To be continues in the main story…
Author's Notes:
(1) Ranma was able to jump up toward's Kirin's airship from the ground in the first movie, 'Big Trouble in Nekonron China', so why not here?
BWAHAHAHAHA!! I was in a silly mood when I wrote this side-story. I really liked the One Piece song, 'Ready!', that played in its mini-movie, Jango's Dance Carnival. Go look it up on youtube to get a better feel for this chapter!
Just a little something to keep the ball rolling. I'll get back to the main story now. Reviews, please!
