Author's Note: Here we are, at long last, we're finally starting the epic multi-part season finale of "The Fairly Odd Winx Club" (whether it'd be either four-part or five-part, I don't know) that retells Episodes 119-126 of 'Winx Club' Season 1, which also made up the Winx Club special, 'The Battle for Magix'.
Like I said before, we're in the endgame for now and it will be going to take a few chapters in counting long enough to end the events of Season 1 and that it'll be full of tearjerking moments and epic surprises very soon. It's going to be one crazy ride, I know, and so I thank you for all the support and everything.
'Things are about to get really serious and a little bit heartwarming after the Trix - Icy, Darcy, and Stormy - stole the power of the Dragon Flame from Bloom and even captured Timmy Turner's fairy godparents, using their magic in the process. Now they became incredibly powerful and they're trying to seize control of the whole Magic Dimension and rule over everyone...with a monstrous army of insectoid battle-monsters made purely of dark magic known as the Army of Darkness.
Timmy Turner's only hope and chances to save Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof is to find Bloom's stolen Dragon Flame, even if it means he's being forced to work alongside the Winx and a powerless Bloom. With some unexpected help from the Specialists from Red Fountain, the witches from Cloud Tower, and even the fairies of both Alfea and Fairy World, Timmy Turner and the Winx Club are in for the fight of their lives, and everything has led up to this very moment as it all culminates in an epic, final face-off for the fate of the Magic Dimension.'
Anyways, here we are at the first part of the finale. There are some alterations of the other episodes very soon, but other than that, let's get this so-called 'epicness' started!
Enjoy the chapter and the rest. Any and all comments (on the story) are welcome.
Things were not looking good for both Bloom and Timmy Turner.
After making a complete fool of herself by ruining the exhibition at Red Fountain, getting into a fight with Diaspro, and learning that the Brandon she fell in love with is actually Prince Sky and had a fiancé, Bloom couldn't think of any more reason to stay. Brimming with tears, she left Magix and Alfea…without even saying goodbye to her friends.
If you think Bloom had problems, Timmy Turner had crazier ones that were too much to bear and endure. After a failed attempt at Red Fountain and seeing Bloom finally back home in Gardenia, Timmy Turner was invited to her home a little bit, where he learned from Mike and Vanessa that his own parents had transferred him to Gardenia and abandoned him on purpose because of how things are breaking apart in Dimmsdale, meaning that he's now officially stuck here in exile.
Initially heartbroken by this sad realization and betrayal, Timmy Turner gets fed up and soon realizes that his new life in Gardenia became better after meeting Bloom and experiencing some adventures with the Winx, rallying his fairies to help Bloom see this through to the end. But just as Timmy Turner was okay with the fact that he couldn't return to his old life in Dimmsdale anymore, the wicked Trix had followed Bloom to Gardenia, attacking her and Timmy Turner.
The Trix came to steal the power of the Dragon Flame while revealing to Bloom that she was the princess of the planet Domino, that she had a sister named Daphne, and that she was the current guardian of the Dragon Flame – which was inside of her.
As Bloom was drained of her powers by the three witches with their bottle-shaped Vacuum crystals, they left and cackled as they headed back to Cloud Tower…with Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof as their prisoners.
Things are about to get real, taking a dramatic turn for our heroes.
"Bloom?" A voice appeared. "Bloom, wake up!"
Bloom slowly opened her bright blue eyes to see Mike and Vanessa huddling around her. Then, she looked at the mess around the disrupted house and slowly got up, feeling drained and horribly dizzy.
As Bloom got up, she quickly noticed she was in her regular clothes and feeling cold. Then, she suddenly remembered everything that had just happened – the Trix had stolen her power and left her.
"Bloom, are you okay?" Vanessa asked with worry. "We were so worried."
"Are you all right?" Mike asked.
"Yeah, yeah," Bloom spoke up, reassuring them. She then turned to the one person she was most concerned about. "Pink-hatted Timmy?"
Timmy Turner stood there when he turned to Bloom. "They took them… The Trix took them! My…" Then, realizing he can't say they're his fairies to Bloom and her Earth parents, he quickly said, "My…my secret friends."
"Secret friends?" Bloom repeated. "You mean your goldfish?"
Suddenly, a bright light filled the entire room as a portal opened. It grew brighter and brighter until a familiar sunny figure materialized in the light.
"Stella!" Bloom called as the blonde fairy came out of the portal and ran to her.
"Bloom! Are you okay?" Stella asked.
"Not really," Bloom replied tearfully. "The Trix, they followed me here. They attacked me and Pink-hatted Timmy! They were so strong…and they took my power! It's actually the Dragon Flame."
Timmy Turner cleared his throat.
"And they even captured Pink-hatted Timmy's secret friends," Bloom added.
"They also said that with the Dragon Flame, they'll have unlimited power and be able to take over the whole universe, including Earth!" Vanessa said, then she turned to Bloom. "Bloom, I think you and Timmy should go back to Alfea with Stella to sort the whole thing out."
Stella grabbed Bloom by the shoulder and smiled. "Your mom's right, Bloom. We'll never let the Trix get away with this travesty. You, me, Kiko, and Pink-hatted Timmy will hop back to Alfea, meet up with the other girls, and find a way to regain your powers!"
Timmy Turner cleared his throat again.
"And save Pink-hatted Timmy's secret friends," Stella added.
"We're with you, sweetie," Mike said. "If anyone can do it, we know you can!"
"I love you guys," Bloom said with tears as she hugged Mike and Vanessa. "You're the best."
After saying goodbye to her Earth parents and packing her things, Bloom was ready to return as she, Stella, and Timmy Turner were transported back to Magix.
Bloom, Stella, and Timmy Turner arrived in Alfea's courtyard and went inside the school. Stella brought the two to their dorm suite, which was dark due to the early hour.
"Here we are, the good old dorm room," Stella said. "It's pretty early. Everybody's probably zonked out still."
Suddenly, the lights came on all over the dorm room, and a voice appeared. "Bloom?"
Flora, who turned on the light switch, ran over to Bloom and happily grabbed her hand. "Bloom! You're back! We were so worried about you."
Then, Musa and Tecna also came out of their room to see Bloom.
"Bloom, you're back!" Musa cried.
"Bloom, hi!" Tecna smiled.
"I'm so happy to be with all of you again," Bloom replied. "You have no idea how good it is to see you."
"Just a second, girls," Stella said. "Bloom is just worn out."
"Uhhh, hello!" Timmy Turner called out. "What about me? I'm here and worn out, too!"
The other Winx girls turned to see Timmy Turner as Flora said, "Oh, nice to see you again, too, Pink-hatted Timmy."
"You and Bloom don't look thrilled to me," Musa replied. "What happened to you? You look like you got jacked by a bunch of witches."
"That's because we DID get jacked by a bunch of witches!" Timmy Turner said. "The Trix followed us to Earth and attacked us! How did you think THIS happened?!"
"He's not wrong," Stella replied. "I was right to be worried! Bloom and Pink-hatted Timmy were attacked by the Trix, who took her powers."
"What?!" The Winx gasped.
"Yeah, and Pink-hatted Timmy's secret goldfish friends."
"Double what?!"
"You mean his green, pink, and purple goldfish?" Flora asked.
"There's more," Bloom spoke up. "While I was back in Gardenia, I found out some things… I…I'm not a normal girl, but a princess of Sparks from a planet called Domino." She then quickly explained everything that happened so far.
"You possessed the Dragon Flame?" Musa asked in surprise.
"Yeah, even I knew that as well," Timmy Turner said. "I mean, deep down, I knew… I knew something was off, but hearing it all spelled out brings it home."
"I can't believe it," Flora said.
"If the Trix have the Dragon Flame, then all of Magix is in danger," Tecna said. "How could we have been so gullible? This… this…is going to change everything."
"Indeed," A voice appeared as the Winx girls were startled to see Griselda entering their dorm. "That's what Headmistress Faragonda wants to know."
The Winx girls tried to play it nice and cool as Stella spoke up. "Heeeyyy. What's up, G?"
But Griselda wasn't buying it. "I was hoping Bloom could tell us all that. There's also a small matter Miss Faragonda would like to discuss with that PINK-HATTED BOY YOU'RE HARBORING!"
The Winx girls winced with a thought, Busted!
Timmy Turner slowly looked up to see everyone looking at him as he exited his hiding place. "Aaaww, nuts!"
A moment later, Bloom and Timmy Turner were welcomed into Faragonda's office as they settled into very comfy chairs.
"Now then," Faragonda said, beginning to ask Bloom. "Why don't you mind telling me what happened?"
Bloom bowed her head and explained. "I went back to Earth, to Gardenia, because I didn't feel like I belonged or was good enough for Alfea. So, I decided to leave."
"Oh, Bloom," Faragonda groaned.
"I found out the truth, which was horrible," Bloom continued. "I'm the last Princess of Domino and the keeper of the Dragon Flame. That's why my sister, Daphne the Nymph, gave me that crown at Lake Roccaluce…as a symbol of her sacrifice."
"I suspected as much," Faragonda admitted. "You embody that symbol."
Bloom's eyes grew wide in surprise. "You mean you knew something about this?" she asked. "You knew about my history? Why in the world didn't you tell me?"
"I wanted to, Bloom," Faragonda explained as she sighed. "But I've always believed the truth comes when we're ready to hear it. Sometimes, searching for the truth is more important than the truth itself. If I had told you earlier, you wouldn't have understood, so I thought you would have time to learn about yourself and your powers."
Bloom looked down sadly. "Maybe, but I wasn't ready to hear it, especially not from those three witches." Then, she looked at Faragonda. "So, you're saying it was better for me to figure things out through the Trix?"
"The Trix? What are you talking about?"
"Icy, Darcy, and Stormy followed me and Pink-hatted Timmy to Gardenia. They're the ones who told me everything. They attacked me and took the Dragon Flame, the power I was meant to protect."
"They're too crazy powerful," Timmy Turner added, then he looked down sadly. "And…and it's all fault, anyway. None of this would've happened if I hadn't been dragged into your mess at the exhibition…and given you advice."
"No, it's okay," Bloom reassured Timmy Turner. "You were just trying to warn me." She then turned to Faragonda. "The Dragon Flame is in the Trix's hands, and so are Pink-hatted Timmy's secret friends."
Faragonda, however, gave out a knowing smile. "Actually, I know they're more than just his 'secret friends'."
"What do you mean?" Bloom asked in confusion.
"Your new friend here has a magical side…because he had fairy godparents."
Surprised, Bloom turned to Timmy Turner, who sighed, knowing that Faragonda was right. "It's true. Their names are Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof. They've been granting my wishes for years."
"No way…," Bloom said in surprise to Timmy Turner, then she turned back to Faragonda. "So, what now?"
"I don't know, but this doesn't bode well for Magix," Faragonda replied. "The Dragon Flame in the Trix's hands means we're all in grave danger."
As it turns out, the danger just got started.
Miss Griffin, the headmistress of Cloud Tower, was being overthrown by the Trix, who had just taken over the whole school, as did all the other students.
"What are you three doing?!" Miss Griffin demanded. "This is my school, and I won't let you wreak havoc here!"
"In case you haven't gotten it yet, Miss Griffin, we're in charge now!" Icy replied wickedly. "You and your students have just earned yourselves a nice, long vacation…in the dump snake and rat-infested dungeons of Cloud Tower!"
"Now, we will go down into the castle crypt, where the most evil spells are kept," Stormy said. "And we'll call forth the Army of Darkness."
Miss Griffin's eyes widened. "That's impossible! You can't!" she shouted. "No one has ever been able to control the Army of Darkness. It will cause total destruction!"
Icy sneered. "Oh, really?
The Trix entered the castle crypt, where they found a book to summon the Army of Darkness.
"And here we are," Icy smiled as Darcy and Stormy joined her. "The Army of Darkness will be under our command. Let the summoning begin."
Meanwhile, in the Winx Club's dorm suite at Alfea, the Winx girls and Timmy Turner gathered around Bloom, who sat on her bed and was tormented about everything that happened.
"Every day," Bloom groaned. "Every day of my life has been a mess, and I hate this! I'm a mess. I wish I'd never discovered my Winx or come to Alfea."
"You can't mean that," Stella said.
"I do. I could not use my power when I needed it most, and now the entire Magic Dimension is in serious jeopardy."
"Hey, don't blame yourself," Flora said.
"It's not your fault," Stella agreed.
"Seriously," Musa said.
"Hardly, it is your fault," Tecna said, having a logical way. "It was three against one, after all."
"Or two, if you added me," Timmy Turner told Tecna.
"Shows what you know, Pink-hatted Timmy," Bloom said. "You're the one who has fairy godparents."
The other Winx girls were surprised and confused as they turned to Timmy Turner for confirmation. Bloom quickly explained what Faragonda had told her.
"No way!" Musa exclaimed as she and the other Winx girls looked at Timmy Turner in surprise.
"I can't believe it!" Flora cried.
"That's not possible," Tecna said.
"Are you kidding me?!" Stella shouted.
"So, all this time, you had magical fairy godparents that granted your every wish?!" Musa asked Timmy Turner. "And you're their assigned fairy godkid?!"
"And I still have been working my nails to the bone to study for exams and won the Miss Magix beauty pageant without your fairies' help?!" Stella added.
The Winx girls looked at Stella, who just shrugged. "What?"
"Well, not every wish," Timmy Turner explained. "There are rules about what I can and can't do with them."
"Lucky," Stella pouted.
Just then, Flora began to ponder. "Now that I think about it, they have the same eyes as those hummingbirds back at Black Mud Swamp."
"And the same eyes as his weapons," Tecna replied.
"And the same eyes as some of the trees and bushes," Musa added.
"Okay…," Stella said, completely flabbergasted. "Is it just me, or did they look like a lot of stuff Pink-hatted Timmy had?"
"I heard the rumors," Tecna said. "But I never thought they'd be true."
Suddenly, Stella turned to Timmy Turner with a scowl look on her face. "You just had to do it, didn't you, Pink-hatted Timmy?!"
"Me?! What the heck did I do?!" Timmy Turner asked angrily, accused.
"You just had to show up out of nowhere during our assignment at Black Mud Swamp, had to show up at the exhibition at Red Fountain and blab out the fact that I've been dating a squire pretending to be a prince. You just HAD to be where we needed to be!"
"Hey, I was only trying to help Bloom!" Timmy Turner replied. "I only showed up there to warn the Specialists. You girls only showed up to watch the show."
"He's got us there," Musa muttered.
"Those Trix witches have been picking fights with you guys over this 'Dragon Flame' power inside Bloom since she and I first came to Magix," Timmy Turner continued. "And all the while, they've been finishing what their old ancestors started because they are their young descendants! Just what do you think the Trix will do to us when they find out that we know?!"
The Winx became silent until Tecna spoke up. "We're not thinking about what the Trix are going to do! We're thinking about what we're going to do!"
Just then, a phone rang, and Stella picked it up. "Hello?"
"Stella," A familiar voice appeared on the phone. It was Prince Sky. "May I speak to Bloom? Is she there?"
Suddenly, Timmy Turner snatched Stella's phone to talk straight to Sky on the other end. "Bloom isn't talking to you, 'Prince Sky', if that is your real name! She's unavailable right now."
"Wait, Pink-hatted Timmy?! Would you at least give Bloom a message for me?"
"Forget it! I ain't giving Bloom your so-called 'messages,' Brandon, Prince Sky, or whoever you're calling yourself! We have bigger problems now, and she doesn't need your sympathy! The same goes for your squire buddy, Brandon, for lying to Stella, too! So, good day!"
Timmy Turner ended the phone call and gave the phone back to Stella. The other Winx girls looked at him in surprise.
"Whoa, way to tell him off…for a kid with a pink hat," Musa said.
"What?!" Timmy Turner replied with a shrug. "We don't have time to worry about that Prince Sky guy or your boy problems right now! I got to find my fairy godparents and get them out of there! Can this get any worse?!"
Suddenly, Timmy Turner and the Winx girls turned around to see dark clouds in the blue sky, and then it began to rain as they all went to the window to see it.
"If by worse, you mean the Trix are already doing something crazy while taking over Cloud Tower?" Stella said to Timmy Turner. "Then, YES!"
"That's strange," Tecna said. "Those are siridul clouds."
"And that means...?" Stella and Timmy Turner asked in unison.
"I'm not sure. But I know the current air pressure wouldn't allow such clouds to form."
"Uh, guys?" Flora spoke up. "I think it's more than that… Look!"
The Winx girls and Timmy Turner watched the fairies and Alfea students in the courtyard screamed in terror when dark pools appeared below.
Then, the unexpected things happened. Each pool and puddle of darkness began to churn and swirl as if they were coming to life.
"What are those things down there?" Bloom asked.
"I don't know what it is," Stella replied. "But I think we're about to find out."
"And if I did know, I don't think I want to know," Timmy Turner said.
Just then, hundreds and millions of grubby centipedes, slimy black insects, and disgusting creatures rise up out of the oozing puddles, growing wings, developing pincers, claws, fangs, and turning into armored monsters and beasts.
This was the Army of Darkness, controlled and sent by the Trix.
Soon, these creatures of the dark crawl and climb up the walls and windows of Alfea, causing everyone to panic.
"They're like little bugs or something," Musa said.
"They're trying to break in!" Tecna replied as the creatures started climbing and scraping the dorm window.
"Everyone, get back!" Bloom yelled as she, the girls, and Timmy Turner stepped away from the window.
Suddenly, the window glass shattered, and the creatures poured through, covering the entire dorm suite from the floor to the ceiling.
"AHHHH!" Timmy Turner screamed as he jumped into Musa's arms. "What are those things?!"
"Anyone, extermination spell, please!" Stella yelled.
Suddenly, Professor Palladium entered the dorm room. "Everyone, let's get out of here! The school is under attack!"
The Winx Club girls and Timmy Turner ran from the dorm room, only to find all sectors and corners of Alfea, including the courtyard, invaded by more bug-like creatures.
"Oh, man!" Timmy Turner exclaimed at the sight. "This is far worse than that cockroach domination Cosmo and I dealt with!"
The Winx girls stared at Timmy Turner in surprise and confusion. "Cockroaches?!"
"What!? It happened while we wanted Wanda to have a day off, and I had to do a report."
"Well, we can't just let a bunch of bugs overrun our school!" Tecna said. "This is a total invasion. We've got to fight back!"
Musa squished one bug under her foot. "Let's send these critters back to where they came from!"
"But I... I can't help," Bloom spoke up sadly. "I don't have my powers."
Stella placed her hand on Bloom's shoulder. "Don't worry, Bloom, we'll take care of them for you too."
Bloom smiled. "All right. Go on then."
Bloom and Timmy Turner watched as Stella, Tecna, Musa, and Flora transformed into their Winx fairy forms. As the four Winx fairies help everyone defend Alfea, Timmy Turner and Bloom find themselves surrounded by more bug-like creatures when one of them grabs Kiko.
"Hands off the rabbit!" Timmy Turner shouted when he kicked the bug off of Kiko.
"Thanks, Pink-hatted Timmy," Bloom said as she stroked Kiko. "I may have lost my powers, but I still know how to defend my friends."
"Man, I should've seen this coming!" Timmy Turner said.
Indeed, Timmy Turner didn't because the entire Magic Dimension is experiencing the wrath of the Trix. He wished his fairy godparents were here to help him, while Bloom wished she had her Dragon Flame powers back.
But right now, all they can do is sit on the sidelines.
A few moments later, after the attack on Alfea, Timmy Turner looked around to see the Alfea students cleaning up the school or talking about what they should do next if there's another invasion.
Just then, a projection of the Trix appeared.
"It's time to face the facts, professors," Icy sneered as she, Darcy, and Stormy were at Griffin's office, talking to Faragonda and Saladin into the crystal ball that connects to Faragonda's office. "Your pathetic, little magic schools will soon cease to exist, and you don't have a chance against us. We have supreme power, and we will stop at nothing to obtain complete control of the Magic Dimension! Suppose you want your precious little school spared from total destruction. You have twelve hours to surrender or face total annihilation in that case. Resistance is futile!"
And with that, Icy waved, and the projection disappeared.
"They're totally insane!" Faragonda said. "If those witches think we're just going to hand over our schools to them, they're crazier than I thought."
"Perhaps," Saladin replied. "Those three are exactly like their ancestors, the Ancestral Witches."
"Except the Ancestral Witches could never have obtained the power of the Dragon Flame. There may still be a way to defeat them."
"We'll have to work together," Saladin said. "I'll go back to Red Fountain and organize a defense strategy. We've got to act quickly, and we must be swift. I don't know how much more my students can take."
Faragonda nodded. "Good luck, Saladin…old friend."
As Professor Saladin left in a puff of orange smoke to help his school, Faragonda gathered the Winx girls and Timmy Turner to her office and told them about the ultimatum.
"The witches are planning an attack against us," Faragonda said. "They're doing what their ancestors did. Back then, they had seriously jeopardized the dimension's balance of power. And now, another generation of witches has taken up the fight. And this time, they possess a weapon their ancestors did not - your power. And that makes them utterly invincible." She then turned to Bloom. "Bloom, listen carefully. At this point, the only thing you can do is go back to Domino."
Bloom was surprised. "To Domino? Why?"
"Because their three ancestors destroyed your birthplace," Faragonda replied as she conjured an illusion of the green planet of Domino that later turned into a view of a royal palace. "They eradicated your kingdom. And now, Icy, Darcy, and Stormy follow in their evil footsteps. And I think that perhaps somewhere in the remnants of the planet Domino and its Royal Palace of Sparks, you might be able to find a clue, a shred of evidence that could help you regain what you've lost - The Dragon Flame. Bloom, you are our only chance."
"In that case, we'll go with you," Musa said with determination.
Flora nodded in agreement. "Absolutely. You can count on us."
"As if we'd let you go by yourself," Stella said.
Bloom said. "Oh, thanks, girls."
Just then, Timmy Turner spoke up. "Oh no, you don't! Take me with you! I'm dragged into this mess as you all are."
Stella was appalled once more. "What?! No way! Why would you help us?"
"Because this has gone from bad to worse on my so-called 'best day/summer ever.' First, I learned I got tricked into exile by being relocated from Dimmsdale and transferred to Gardenia. Then, a trio of megalomaniacal teenage witches with bad attitudes took my fairies and raised an army of weird bugs and monsters for their invasion. Bloom finally got answers about her past and origins from them and lost her Dragon Flame powers in the process. And now I feel like I'm the only boy in Alfea while Prince Sky finally decided to try apologizing to Bloom, all just in time for the Trix to take over the world!"
"Universe," Tecna corrected.
"Whatever! The point is, I'll go with you on your little quest because I don't have a choice. But I want my fairy godparents back, and the only way to do that is to get Bloom's Dragon Flame powers back, so that's that! It's high time you Winx girls need to woman up, save the world, and get everything back to normal!"
"Yeah, right," Bloom nodded, as did the Winx girls.
"But if this quest leads to nothing, then I'm dragging you and your friends back to Alfea and to the very first person we see, at which point, you will explain everything that's happened using words that reflect me in a VERY POSITIVE LIGHT! GOT IT?!"
"Yeah, okay," Bloom nodded again in surprise.
"It's time for the dramatic soap opera twist, where this Pablo TAKES DOWN HIS JUAN!" Timmy Turner cried, and then he caught his breath in satisfaction. "Whew, got that out of my chest."
Flora turned to Bloom. "Is Pink-hatted Timmy okay?"
"He's been watching that soap opera for a few hours," Bloom replied.
Faragonda spoke up with a chuckle. "It seems Jorgan was right about you."
Timmy Turner looked at the headmistress in surprise. "How did you about-?!"
"No wonder you made such a name for yourself and made quite an impact on the world with your…past wishes."
"Who is this 'Jorgan' guy?" Musa asked.
"Jorgan Von Strangle, the toughest fairy in the universe and commander of all fairy godparents from Fairy World," Faragonda explained. "He once told me that the fairies of Fairy World drew magic from certain people on Earth who believed in them, which is why they rely on them to power up Fairy World and their Big Wand."
"Cool!"
"That explains everything," Tecna said, surprised.
"Again, lucky," Stella said, looking at Timmy Turner with a pouted look.
Just then, Bloom spoke up to her friends. "Girls, I… I say we take Pink-hatted Timmy along with us."
Most of the Winx girls were taken by surprise, as did Timmy Turner. "What?!"
"Look, the fate of all Magix is riding on this, and…and I think Pink-hatted Timmy has as much right to help out as any of us."
"I give up…," Stella groaned in dismay.
"I'm not done overexplaining," Bloom continued. "I know some of the stuff he said might have happened, but still… his little bravery in the face of danger and his defiance of the Trix says otherwise. If anything, I think he'd much sooner risk trying to save his fairies." She then turned to Faragonda. "So, headmistress… I formally ask to invite Pink-hatted Timmy on this one."
"Well, I'm flattered," Timmy Turner said. "And…stumped."
"Very well, Bloom," Faragonda smiled and nodded. "I take personal responsibility for your decision."
A while later, the Winx Club and Timmy Turner stood on the catwalk in the Magical Reality Chamber while Professor Palladium, Faragonda, and Griselda were in the chamber's control room.
"All right, everybody," Professor Palladium said as his voice came from the chamber's speakers. "You all set and ready?"
"Yeah," the Winx girls answered in unison.
"We hear you, Prof!" Stella said.
"So, this reality chamber will take us to this Domino planet?" Timmy Turner asked.
"Yes," Professor Palladium answered. "I've overhauled the system and reprogrammed the Magical Reality Chamber, and in a few seconds, the simulator will create a multi-dimensional corridor that will transport you directly to Domino."
"Ingenious," Tecna muttered.
"But this time, it's not a simulation, it's for real," Professor Palladium continued. "The dangers you'll face will be most formidable. All nasty creatures inhabit dead planets, and we know nothing about most of them."
"That's …comforting," Musa said, feeling unenthusiastic.
"Figures," Timmy Turner and Stella scoffed in unison, then looked at each other in surprise.
"Now, before we can send you, we have to suit you in the appropriate attire," Professor Palladium instructed as he pushed several buttons on the control panel. "The weather on Domino is quite brutal."
Just then, blue orbs of light floated down from above the ceiling, circling and hovering around the Winx girls and Timmy Turner, changing their regular clothes into cool winter gear – goggles, coats, pants, and gloves.
Stella admired her new attire. "These outfits rock!"
"Geez, no pressure," Musa said.
"Took the words right out of my mouth," Timmy Turner replied.
And with that, a flash of light appeared as the Winx girls and Timmy Turner vanished.
"They made it!" Professor Palladium said to Faragonda. "It's up to them now. Our fate is in their hands."
The Winx girls and Timmy Turner reappeared in a flash of light as they now stood on the surface of the icy-covered landscape of the snow-covered planet of Domino. They had never been this cold in their entire lives!
"Whoah!" Bloom exclaimed, shivering. "Domino is freezing cold!"
"What a desolate place," Flora replied.
"Guess eternal winters can do that to a planet," Stella remarked.
"Way to state the obvious, Stella," Timmy Turner replied. "But now what?!"
"We got to find the Royal Palace and fast, or else we'll end up frozen stiff!"
Bloom looked around, but everything still looked the same. "If only I had my powers."
"Well, if my fairies were here, I could've wished us some snowmobiles, and we have this whole situation in a snap," Timmy Turner said.
"Leave that to me. I'll use the nav system," Tecna said as she opened her palm to reveal a virtual map of Domino. "It doesn't look like we have much further to travel. I've analyzed the region's topography, and I believe the flat area on the map is your Royal Palace."
"Tecna, that's great!" Bloom smiled, hugging Tecna.
"Gee, thanks for the scientific heads up, Tecna," Timmy Turner said. "It all sounds so straightforward now! And I'm pretty sure that when you rule over a planet, the planet is your kingdom."
"Well, I don't see anything that looks like a royal palace," Stella said.
"I guess we just have to keep looking…," Tecna replied. "At least we'll keep warm."
Their desperate journey through the snow and ice led the Winx girls and Timmy Turner to the top of the hill. They stopped to catch their breath, only to see the view of…a wasteland with more hills.
Timmy Turner screamed in anger. "This all feels like the same place!"
"It's confusing," Flora replied. "That's for sure."
"We should be close, shouldn't we?" Stella said, pointing at a nearby hill on the horizon. "Maybe it's just beyond that hill?"
Suddenly, Flora noticed the 'hill' started to tremble and rise. "I don't think that's a hill! Look!"
The hill turned out to be the back of a giant, white snow monster, whose long shadow looms over the girls and Timmy Turner as it stood to its most total height, turning its head toward them and roaring.
Just then, the monster bashes his fists on the ground, and a wave of snow pours over the girls and Timmy Turner, who quickly dig themselves out again.
"Let's get out of here now!" Bloom said.
"Yeah, let's," Tecna replied.
The Winx girls ran away while the snow monster gave chase, but Timmy Turner was so eager to hurry this mission up that he stood before the beast. "Hey, you! Get out of our way!"
Timmy Turner and Stella, who transformed into her Winx fairy form, tried to attack the snow beast by throwing snowballs and golden light blasts. Still, they had no effect on the monster.
"I don't think he liked that!" Bloom said.
Timmy Turner turned to Bloom, as did Stella. "You think?!"
"Okay, I really don't like where this is going," Stella replied.
"He's incredibly strong!" Flora cried.
As the battle raged on, the snow monster suddenly grabbed one of the jagged ice pillars to attack the group. But the pillar soon hit the frozen ground and caused an earthquake as the cracks approached Timmy Turner and the others.
"Girls, Pink-hatted Timmy! Look out!" Bloom yelled as the cracks widened, separating her and Timmy Turner from the other Winx girls.
The ground shook even further as Bloom lost her balance at the chasm's edge. Timmy Turner tried quickly grabbing Bloom to save her from losing her footing, but they both fell into the darkness of the chasm below as they screamed.
"Bloom! Pink-hatted Timmy!" The Winx girls called out in horror.
"What do we do?!" Stella asked.
"That chasm could be bottomless!" Flora replied.
"Oh, no!"
But unknown to the Winx Club, the snow monster was under the command of Icy, who watched the whole thing from the crystal ball at Cloud Tower.
Icy cackled. "Goodbye, Bloom…and your pink-hatted friend, too!"
