Hey everyone... I'm reposting this again because of a reader who did a review last time. I'm not going to say their username for this site because I don't want you as individuals to harass them. Like that account user, I know that some of you think that Dawn and Bloom have the same personality because they're identical twin. Truth of the matter is, Dawn has a separate personality than Bloom. I want you to know upfront that when I created Dawn to be Bloom's identical twin, I created her to be her own person.

I see Dawn as someone who is a tomboy, she likes to do martial arts with some gymnastics in between. Like Bloom, Dawn does have a temper, and Dawn's temper is based on my temper (No, I'm not a red head, just a girl whose maternal line get extremely angry at times). If you don't like the way I'm writing my version of Winx Club, then you don't have to read it. I'm not gonna force you to read it. A word of warning: I don't like to be rushed when writing. Leave a positive review and Happy Reading!

I DONT OWN WINX CLUB! I ONLY OWN THE FEMALE AND MALE OCS AS WELL AS THE FEMALE OC'S PET BUNNY!

Shoutouts:

The Specialists returned to Alfea with the Winx after their mission from Domino.

"Welcome back, all of you." Faragonda said, then looked at the twins. "Bloom, Dawn, how are you dears?"

"Fine, Miss Faragonda." said Bloom.

"Good, ma'am." said Dawn.

"So, your mission was successful?" Saladin asked.

"We found them sir." said Sky.

"Brandon, Levi and their…." Bloom started to say when Dawn taps her arm to correct her. "uh, I mean Prince Sky, Levi and the other Specialists…"

"Uh, yes, their arrival on Domino was timely." said Stella.

"Hey look!" said Musa. They looked to see Lavender, Kiko and Pepe playing.

"Looks like Kiko and Lavender's found a friend." said Tecna.

"Kiko." Kiko said as he and Pepe start rolling while Lavender chases after them.

"It's Pepe, Icy's duck. How did he get here?" asked Stella as Knut walks up.

"After we deal with the Trix, we should consider rehoming that duckling." said Dawn as she watched Pepe play with Kiko and Lavender.

"I brought him with me." said Knut, scratching his head.

"Knut." Stella said, glaring at him with Musa.

"It's all right, girls." said Faragonda. "The ogre is on our side."

"He fought courageously against the forces of evil." said Saladin.

"Goodness, you close your eyes for a second and look what happens." said Stella.

"Pepe and I managed to run away from Cloudtower." Knut explained. "They chased us, but we were too fast for them."

"Indeed. We don't even know what happened to Miss Griffin." Faragonda tells them.

"So, I guess this means, we're all in the same boat." said Flora.

"Yes, but it remains to be seen whether we can keep afloat or not." said Musa.

"Well, now at least we have a lift raft." commented Stella, causing Knut to hug her.

"It's getting a little crowded here, don't you think?" Tecna asked, watching the specialists carry their equipment.

"It's true then." said Bloom and Dawn. "Red Fountain Castle destroyed?"

"Yes, unfortunately. The boys will stay here for now." Faragonda informs them. "As strong and courageous as these young men are, they can't possibly overpower Icy, Darcy and Stormy by themselves. The whole magic dimension is in ruins."

"Those three witches won't wait long before launching a new attack on Alfea." Saladin said to the kids. "We've got to be ready to fight them."

At Cloudtower, Riven looks up from his cell to see Darcy and Stormy. "Look at dribbling idiot." said Stormy.

"Hey Stormy? Why do you say that we play with his head a bit." suggested Darcy. "Just for laughs." They walked away, leaving Riven alone to be alone with his thoughts. Behind him, images of himself appeared.

"What's going on? What are you trying to do? What do you want from me, huh?" Riven asked, seeing the images of himself. "Come on! Speak! What is it? What do you want? Huh? Come on! What are you waiting for?"

He then looks at the images of himself as they turned into monsters. "Who are you?" he asked, and they gave him no answers. They fell to the ground, morphing into one huge monster that stood before Riven.

"You stay away from me!" he tells the monster. "Go away! Go away! No! You're not me! That's not who I am!" Sitting on the floor, across from each other, the monster was mimicking Riven's moves.

"It can't be real" Riven said to himself as he reaches out. "It's impossible. You don't exist, you can't." He was then able to touch the monster's finger. "You are real." Riven then realizes that he's dealing with his inner demons as he stares into the monster's eyes.

"All right, big boy. I have no way of defending myself against you, but I won't panic. I don't go down so easily, you know? There are many things that I don't like about myself, but I'm far from being a monster, ok? I have a heart. And even though I can't be sure, they'll ever be able to forgive me for all the things I've said and done, I have a few friends too."

"Hey, kiddo!" a voice said from outside of his cell.

"Huh? Miss Griffin is that you?" he asked. "What are you doing here?"

"Paying the price for my foolishness." she replied. "I, too, have shown poor judgement. I should have realized sooner that their ambition was dangerous in scope."

"But it's not your fault." said Riven. "It would have to be impossible to guess what they were planning." He then looks down at the lock and starts to get an idea. "I've got to try to get out of here. I've always been good at picking locks." He looks at the floor and sees a bent-up nail. "This will do. Yes, sir….this will do. The person who hasn't been born yet can't keep me locked up."

Riven then gets to work on picking the lock. Once he had picked the lock, Riven walks over to Griffin. "Don't worry, Miss Griffin." he tells her. "I'll get you out of here in a second."

"Don't waste your time, kid." said Griffin.

"Huh?"

"Believe me, if it were as easy as that, my dark powers would have taken care of that lock long before now." she said. "It's an ancient runic lock. Its unbreakable." Griffin turns around as other witches were in the same cell. "My girls are busy preparing a potion which will allow me to confuse the protection runes for a few seconds and then…."

"What's happening?" asked Riven, hearing something coming from down the hall.

"The scrapers. Save yourself." said Griffin.

"But…." said Riven.

"Run!" she tells him.

"But…."

"You…..you can do nothing for me." Griffin tells Riven. "Run!"

Taking her word, Riven runs for his life, making it towards the dorms. "Where am I?" he asked himself when he suddenly hears the scrapers behind him. "Oh, no! No! The window!" He then turns around and runs towards it. "It's my only chance. There's no other way."

Riven looks back to see the scrapers getting closer towards him. "Is this where it ends?" he then asked, and he finally makes his decision. "No. You'll never get me." Riven jumps out of the window of Cloudtower. At Alfea, Sky sensed something.

"Riven." Sky said.

"What's the matter?" asked Bloom as Dawn looks over at Levi.

"Nothing." Sky said to Bloom. "I just got this strange feeling."

"Levi, are you okay?" asked Dawn.

"Don't worry about me." Levi assures her.

"Well, Bloom… Dawn ….we have seriously considered your proposal." said Faragonda. "And we…"

"Accepted it." they both said.

"That's why you didn't ask the other Winks to come this meeting." said Bloom.

"Smart thinking." said Dawn.

"You mean to say the others know nothing of this?" Saladin asked Faragonda.

"I think it would be best if Bloom and Dawn fills them in." said Faragonda. "They'll take it better."

"Excuse me, but what are you talking about?" Sky asked.

"We're confused here." said Levi.

"We're discussing the twins' plan for getting back the dragon flames." said Saladin. "They haven't told you both anything?"

"Oops. I knew we forgot something." Dawn said as she and Bloom gave a small laugh.

"The both of you are going to accompany the twins to Cloudtower." said Saladin.

"What?" asked Brandon, shocked by this.

"Sir…." Levi said to Saladin.

"Only a total lunatic would consider going anywhere near Cloudtower right now." Sky said to the twins.

"Exactly." they said to him.

"That's the very last thing the witches expect from us." said Bloom.

"Which is why we proposed it to the heads of both Alfea and Red Fountain." added Dawn.

"Dawn and I need to get right into the castle." Bloom said. "We have no other choice."

"How are you going to do that?" Brandon asked.

"Easy." said Knut. "We can take the tunnels."

"Knut is very familiar with the old underground corridors, linking the three magic schools." said Dawn and Bloom. "He will be the one leading us on this mission."

"Come on, you've lost all your magic powers. You're putting your lives at risk." Sky scolded the twins.

"Yeah, seriously! You can't just waltz back into the woods like nothing happened. What if something goes wrong?" said Levi.

"We appreciate your concern, but you're overreacting. We know what we're doing." said Dawn remaining calm as she crossed her arms.

"This isn't just about you anymore. If you get hurt, it could affect the whole team." said Levi.

"I understand your worry, really I do. But we can't just sit here waiting for our powers to magically return. We have to take matters into our own hands." said Dawn as Bloom nodded.

"We have no choice. Don't you understand?" said Bloom. "As long as the witches possess the powers of the dragon flames, nothing can stop them. The two flames are a part of Dawn and I. We're responsible for it."

"Would you rather have us get both dragon flames back or sit around here, twiddling our thumbs, watching them take over the Magic dimension?" Dawn asked.

"Bloom, Dawn." Stella said with a smile on her face.

"So, when do we get going?" asked Sky and Levi.

"As soon as we've convinced Musa, Tecna and Flora to stay here." said Bloom.

"Alfea would have a better chance at surviving if they stay behind to help defend it." added Dawn. "Plus, I'll take my bo staff as a precaution. I may know the basic set of using it, but it'll come in handy while we're in Cloudtower."

"Agreed. Their powers are essential to the protection of Alfea. The signs are unmistakable." said Faragonda, then points to her office mirror. "Look, a final attack is imminent."

"No!" shouted Icy, shocked to hear about Riven. "Oh, well….he chose his own fate."

"I would have like to see him squirm a little longer." said Stormy.

"Yeah." Darcy agreed.

"Well, that's the end of that. Now's it's time to seal the fate of Alfea." Icy tells them. "Creatures of the Dark! It is time for you to rise!"

"Orida Obscuro Tenant Brava." chanted Darcy and Stormy.

"Rise up from the deep, emerge from the abyss." said Icy, summoning the creatures of Darkness. "Go out into the world! Past the gates of Cloudtower! And in our name, destroy the light! Fill the skies and swarm earth! Make Darkness forever rule this realm!"

The creatures of Darkness finally arrived at Alfea as one Specialist looked at the sky.

"No! They're coming from the northeast." he said. "Thousands of monsters!"

Another specialist sounded the alarm, warning both specialists and fairies of the impending danger. "Well, this is it." said Bloom as she and Dawn told them. "We're sorry, Dawn and I wish we could help you."

"Same here." said Flora.

"We've already discussed it." Bloom tells her. "You'll be more useful here."

"Same old story." said Musa. "You're both stubborn as a mule."

"So are you!" said Dawn.

"Oh, Flora…Musa." said Bloom as she and Dawn hugged them.

"Really, Musa? You're just saying this now!" said Dawn.

"Hey! I'm here too!" said Stella as she runs to hug them.

"No." said the twins, seeing Tecna stand alone, about to cry.

"Tecna, are those tears I see in your eyes?" Stella asked.

"Um, no. A speck of dust got in my eye." Tecna said, covering up her true feelings.

"Liar!" said Dawn, then runs towards Tecna, tackling her in the process.

"Wah!" shrieked Tecna as she was tackled to the floor.

"Never, ever say something like that to cover up what you're really and truly feeling on the inside, Tecna." Dawn told her, pinning her down. "It's okay to be anger, it's okay to be scared. It's even okay to be sad and upset. It's never okay to bury what you're feeling on the inside from others."

"Truer words are never spoken." said Stella as Tecna gave Dawn a tight hug.

"Excuse me, girls, but time's a wasting and Knuts found the right path." said Brandon, peering up from the fountain.

"Well, let's go." said Stella.

"What is it you say on earth?" Flora asked, trying out the phrase. "Break a leg." Dawn pats her on the shoulder, saying that she made an effort.

"Good try, Flora." said Dawn. "We'll work on it when we get back." The twins went into the fountain, followed by Stella.

"Please come back safe and sound." said Flora.

Several Specialists aimed their weapons towards the sky, firing at the flying creatures of Darkness while other waited for them to penetrate the gate of Alfea. Fairies took off, using their magic to at least try and stop the creatures of Darkness from entering Alfea.

"The east side." said Faragonda.

"We'll defend it." said Saladin.

As Timmy fires at the creatures, Tecna, Musa and Flora walked up. "At last, here you are." He said, relieved. "We sure need your help."

In the Winx's dorm, Mirta watched helplessly as specialists and fairies worked together. After Flora sent flowers towards the creatures, she then looks up and sees Mirta watching them fight. "Flora, watch out!" Mirta cried out, warning the nature fairy.

Flora looks up and sees the creature about to attack when suddenly it hits a barrier surrounded her. She then looks up towards the dorm, smiling in thanks as Mirta laughs happily.

Kiko, Pepe and Lavender ran in fear as the creature of darkness chases after them. Just as they were cornered, the creature was about to strike when Codatorta punches it in the jaw. Pepe struts out bravely as Lavender and Kiko looked up to him in thanks before Kiko passes out.

"Come on, kids." Codatorta said.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Tecna asked Flora and Musa as they transform into their fairy forms.

"Girls, what do you say we show them what we're made of." said Musa. "Winx Attack!"

In the tunnels, Knut had a torch in his hand, revealing the dirt. "Well, Knut, which way do we get to Cloudtower?" asked Sky.

"I'm not sure, things are different down here." he said.

"It's those witches' fault." said Brandon.

"So, you're not a prince." Stella said to him.

"No, unfortunately." he said, finally admitting it. "I'm Brandon, Sky's page."

"So, Sky tricked Bloom, Levi kept a secret of who his father is from Dawn, and you tricked me, is that right?" Stella asked, glaring daggers at him.

"I suppose it changes everything." said Brandon.

"Maybe, maybe not." said Stella. "First, let's take care of business and then we can talk about us."

"I'm sensing that she's going to have you work for it." said Dawn.

"What about me?" asked Levi.

"Oh….you're still not getting out of being my practice partner." Dawn tells him. "After all of this is over, you are going to officially introduce me to your dad."

"Just be happy that she's making you work for her forgiveness." Sky said as Bloom chuckled behind her hand. Just then, Knut stops in his tracks.

"What is it, Knut?" Bloom asked. "Did you find something?"

"I don't know. I just feel that we're not alone down here." he tells her.

"Who would be down her besides us?" asked Dawn.

"Relax, you two." said Stella. "Stay close to me and nothing will happen to you."

"We envy you, Stella." the twins said to her. "You can still defend yourself while we have no idea what we'll do when we find ourselves in front of the witches."

Inside of Cloudtower, Icy sees that the girls were heading their way with a few Specialists. "Excellent!" she said to Darcy and Stormy. "Everything's going according to plan."

"What are you talking about?" asked Stormy. "Our troops are falling back."

"I know they are. I want this war to last a long time. I want Alfea to suffer a slow humiliating defeat. The creatures of the dark are numerous and will never give up the fight, so ultimately, they will bring down Alfea!" snapped Icy, then cackles wildly as if she was mad.

Knut suddenly leads them to three tunnels. "Huh?" Knut said when out of nowhere a raven flies towards them.

"Uh, there are three tunnels. Which one do we take?" Stella asked Knut.

"Um, I don't know." said Knut.

"What? In the last half hour alone, you nearly led us into 14 death traps." Stella complained.

"Stella, Knut is doing his best." said Bloom, then turns to Knut. "Now think, you have a great sense of smell, don't you?"

He then smells the air of each tunnel. "It's this one." said Knut and leads them down the middle tunnel.

"Are you sure?" questioned Stella.

"If I say it's this one, then this one it is." Knut tells her.

"Next time we're on break, I'm getting noise cancelling headphones." said Dawn.

As Knut continues to lead them down the tunnel, something appeared, causing them to turn around. "Seriously!" screamed Dawn as blobs chased after them. "Who keeps them in tunnels like these?!"

In one tunnel, Knut opens the hatch, letting in water. In another, vines wrapped around the kids. In the tunnel they were currently in, they were sitting on what seemed to be red stones.

"I'm exhausted." said Stella. Suddenly, what they were sitting on were bugs, causing them to run out. "Oh yeah, we'll get out of here, no problem. Yeah, right!"

"It's not my fault." said Knut. "This place is full of smells. Hang on a second…." He smells the air again rips as he leans against the tunnel. "I know that stink." Suddenly, the walk rips open, causing Knut to fall through, revealing Cloudtower.

"Hey guys, we've reached Cloudtower." said Bloom.

"This isn't what I had in mind." said Brandon.

"I think this is the castle's garbage dump." said Sky.

"Elch! What a stench!" said Stella, smelling it. "Yucko! We've got to find a way out of here and back into the castle itself."

"Agreed. And I'm gonna have to get tested for magical allergies after this." Dawn said, looking around. "I wanna know what I'm allergic to in the whole Magic dimension."

"Yeah, but let's give Knut a hand." said Bloom. They went over to help Knut get out of what he was stuck in.

"What was that?" asked Bloom and Dawn.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." said Stella as they pulled him out.

"Oh…" said Knut, smelling the air again. "Beetle roaches!"

"What are these things?" asked Stella.

"Giant garbage eating bugs." he explained.

"Ew!" squealed Stella as the Beetle Roaches appeared out of the garbage. "Disgusting."

"Man, there's like an army of them." said Sky.

"Sky….." said Levi seeing that they boxed in.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" asked Brandon. "It's extermination time!"

All three boys brough out their swords when the twins got in between them. "No, wait!" they shouted.

"If we attack, then we run the risk of blowing our cover!" Bloom tells them.

"Exactly! And if our cover is ruined, we can blame you three." said Dawn.

"True." said Sky. "If we get rid of one of them and the witches will sense it."

"And that means we could kiss our surprise attack goodbye." said Levi.

"Right! We'll stand here and call them names till they go away." Stella said as the beetle roaches got closer. "Uh, did anyone bring a can of bug spray?"

"Not for bugs of this size." Dawn told her as she and Bloom had something in their hands.

"Knut!" Bloom called out as he was grabbed by his ankle. Both twins swinged their made shift weapons at the Beetle roach, causing it to let go and back away.

"For a set of fairies with no powers, you sure pack a punch." said Knut.

"Thanks. You should see Dawn in her tournaments." said Bloom.

"I'm a fighting fury according to my teachers and my opponents." said Dawn.

"Look out!" Stella shouted as the queen beetle roach grabs a hold of Sky and Levi. Both boys lose grips of their swords, letting them fall to the ground.

"Sky! Levi!" shouted the twins. The queen beetle roach lets them fall to the ground. "Leave them alone you big….!"

She then kicks the twins away from her as she stood over both boys. Brandon aims his weapon towards the queen. "Go on, what you waiting for? Throw it!" said Knut.

"No, it's moving too much." Brandon tells him. "I'm afraid to hit Prince Sky and Levi."

Suddenly, someone appears as they landed on the queen. "Ya!" he shouted as he starts riding the queen like a horse.

"This is something I will never unsee." Dawn said, gasping with her sister.

"Your number's up!" he said to the queen beetle roach as it bucks him off.

"Guys, look! They're all going away." said Stella, watching the beetle roaches leave.

"That's right." said a familiar voice as he stood up. "The one I zapped was the leader."

"Hey, um….who are you anyway?" Sky asked.

"What? You don't recognize your old friend anymore?" Riven asked, taking off the cloak he was wearing.

"Riven!" shouted Sky, Levi and Brandon. Once they were back in the tunnels, the three of them filled him in.

"I still can't believe it." said Sky. "You managed single-handedly escape from the dungeons of Cloudtower."

"And now we know there's a way." said Levi.

"To tell the truth, I didn't get to go very far." said Riven. "Up there, past the dump, the witches have set up a protective shield. If I had gone one step further, they would have captured me."

"But how did you manage to escape?" asked the twins.

"As I jumped out of the high tower window, I was absolutely sure it was all over for. But then, a buttress broke my fall, and I slid all the way down into the dump." Riven explained. "I had to pull myself together, place was teaming with beetle roaches. I lay low and looked for camouflage and most importantly, a weapon. The rest of my stay hasn't been particularly exciting."

"You kidding?" asked Sky and Levi.

"You had to put into practice everything at Red Fountain." said Sky. "Survival in a zone totally invested with creatures of the dark."

"You did better than I did." Levi tells him.

"Hey, you remember Codatorta's lesson?" asked Sky.

"Never hide down wind and keep your fingers out of your nose." said Brandon.

"Dude!" said Levi, shoving him to the side as they all laughed.

"Um, Sky, Brandon, Levi…." Riven said, once the laughing had died down. "I wanted to apologize for all the things I've done."

"Don't worry about it, buddy." said Sky. "We'll talk about it later, okay?"

"You're forgiven, alright?" added Levi as Bloom and Dawn came up to them as the latter hops onto Levi's back.

"Right, we're on a mission here, let's not forget." said Bloom.

"Yeah!" said Dawn.

"So, are you with us?" asked Sky.

"Otherwise, we can send you to Alfea." Levi offered him.

"You bet." said Riven.

"All right!" said Bloom and Dawn as Levi sets her down. "Let's get a move on!"

"Knut has found the tunnel that leads right into the castle." said Bloom.

"We can finally put an end to this." said Dawn.

"Unfortunately, it doesn't mean we're out of the woods yet." they said. "But something tells us our little visit here won't be a walk in the park."
