The Winx and Specialists stared at the rubble in disbelief, a huge chandiler had just fallen upon Stella and Flora, or so they thought..

"You're gonna pay for this!" exclaimed a livid Musa.

"2 down-" Stormy started but was cut off.

"-and they're right back up again Trix!" Stella hissed as she was getting fed up with the three witches.

The trix were stunned. How did they dodge that?

**flashback**

Stella took the step forward before instantly regretting it. Darcy slyly leaned back against a wall and said

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

But it was too late for Stella to pull back. She took the step and quickly regretted it, a huge, blitzy chandelier came toppling down from above along with dust and peices of the ceiling already causing the room to be enveloped in the "fog."

"Stella! No!" Flora rushed to Stella and tackled her out of the way before any permanent damage could be done.

"Thanks Flo." Stella shot her a thankful smile.

"You're welcome Stell."

Flora rolled her eyes and let out a slight giggle before quickly turning her attention back to their surroundings. The room was still filled with dust and they could barely see.

That's when they heard the cries of their friends.

"NOOO!" They heard Tecna and Aisha yell simultaneously.

"That did not just happen." Musa was next to react and the girls could hear the complete shock in her tone.

The room was eerily silent.

The others were quiet, the two fairies shared a concerned glance and then realized what their friends had just witnessed and that it probably looked like they...

Their thoughts were cut off.

They heard Stormy, bragging of course. Stella could practically hear the smirk on her face.
"2 down-"

Stella already knew what the witch of storms was going to say, her infamous phrase, but Stella couldn't and wouldn't let her think she had won.

~~~~~~~~ (end of flashback)

Stormy looked around bewildered by the sudden voice that spoke with so much confidence and determination.

It gave the witch chills.

"Flora, Now!" Stella let out a shout to Flora indicating for their plan to set off.

Just as the dust was clearing up Flora put a wall of vines up, swiftly separating the witches from them and the cage their friends were all in.

Stella then went to shine some light in the cage so they could see through the remaining dust inside.

"Thank goodness Stella" Brandon was relieved that his sunshine was safe. Helia felt the same way about Flora. "Are you girls okay?" he spoke. Both nodded in response with reassuring smiles, but they may have spoken too soon.

"Ice darts!" Icys spell shot right through Floras vines causing the fairy to wince a little as she could feel the pain of the vines.

"Solar Eclispes!" Stella had shot out a ray to blind the trix while Flora moved to unlock the cage.
There was a puzzle with a bunch of different mismatched colors, Flora was beyond confused she even looked to Tecna and Timmy for help, but even they couldn't conjugate an algorithm for the lock. Suddenly Flora remember when the Winx and specialists had traveled to the underground lair of Lord Darkar according to princess Amentia, Downland. She remembered how swiftly a certain fairy had got them into the realm of Realix to save Bloom and stop Darkar from gaining the ultimate power all just by using her wits of fashion.

"Stella take over the lock, I've got the barrier!" Flora told Stella sternly.

Stella looked confused, but then saw the lock and her eyes instantly lit up giving Flora a knowing look, she then hastily played around with the different color combos and came to the conclusion that unlocked the cage.

"totally unlogical.." Timmy murmured under his breath as everyone was hopping out of the cage.

"If there's anything we've learned over the years Timmy, it's that logic doesn't always apply to Stella." Tecna picked up on her boyfriends confusion.

Timmy then jumped out to join the others with a still confused yet content smile.

"Way to go girls!" Bloom hyped the two fairies.

"Something tells me where not out of the woods yet." Piped up Helia referring and pointing to the Trix eating away at Floras barrier.

"Dark Cloud!" Stormy sent her attack right through the barricade Flora had put up earning a few gasps
from the group being protected by said vines. Soon, a huge storm cloud had developed above the fairies and heroes.

"Yeah Helia? Well, something tells me you're right." Adds on Riven staring at the storm cloud emitting off dark energy from the ceiling.

"Talk about a cloudy prediction" Musa said with pursed lips, which earns a raised eyebrow from both Aisha and Nex.

"You're seriously joking right now?"

Nex questioned the music fairy incredulously only to receive his answer from the fairy of waves.

"What else did you expect from her." Aisha replied rolling her eyes playfully.

"ENOUGH! " Icy had yelled overtop of the jokes. "playtime is over."

"We've gotta go!" Sky exclaimed quickly.

They had all made a break for a hidden exit behind the cage. Stella snapped her fingers and got the remaining light in the room to bounce off the shattered chandelier blinding the trix once again.

"AGH NO!" the three witches exclaimed followed by growls and banter.

Golden doors awaited the saviors of the magic dimension, as they slipped out of the room where the trix were, with Stella and Flora still transformed flying precautiously behind them just in case; protecting their power/weapon stripped friends. Little did they know escaping was going to take more effort than they thought...
