"Drat!" Nina snarled as she watched the group making their way past the snow-covered mountains. "How did that monster machine do that?! NO simpleton of a fairy could be that powerful to destroy my ice lions, especially not one who isn't even a fairy!"

"Stop trying to harm them!" Phoenix cried out, tires gripping the steel bars of the cage. "Your plans will fail eventually anyway, and this is a proof of it!"

"SHUT UP!" Nina roared out, sending dark fire towards the cage.

Flame held his wife back and turned around to use his wings as a shield for both of them. He didn't react as the flames lightly burnt his left wing, yet he held Phoenix tighter to indicate the pain.

"Flame, YOUR WINGS!"

"It's... fine!" Flame hissed at the pain but smiled anyway.

"Ha! Pathetic!" Nina cackled. "Any more words from you, Phoenix, and your husband loses his wings AND his magic, so if I were you, I'd be careful what I'd say next!"

"Don't you DARE threaten my wife!" Flame turned to her with a glare.

"Any more words from you, and I'll be burning your wife's wings!" Nina snarled at him.

Flame gritted his teeth but didn't say a word, turning away to protect the other from any more harm. Phoenix looked up at him guiltily before glaring daggers at the evil fairy.

Nina couldn't care any less and turn back to the crystal ball. Her eyes narrowed at each of the fairies shown as they made it past the fields, causing her to growl.

"Those miserable fairies must be teaching their friends magic!" she snapped. "THAT is how they're beating me!" She flicked her tires once more, causing purple magic to appear in the air. "Well, they won't get away this time! And I'll make sure they won't!"

She sprinkled her dark magic over at the crystal ball, causing it to suddenly flash a bright purple. Phoenix narrowed her eyes at her.

"What did you do?"

"Made sure that their world is...shaken by what I have in store for them!" Nina evilly laughed, eyes glowing gold as she watched her magic appear at the canyon the group were passing by.

Meanwhile, Blaze was leading the group over a stream through a huge canyon when the ground started to shake. This caused the group to stop mid-flight.

"What's happening?!" Stripes asked.

"The whole canyon's shakin'!" Starla cried out.

"But how?!" Gabby questioned, looking around as they all tried to balance themselves.

"I know how!" AJ pointed to the top of the canyon, where purple magic was swirling around from out of nowhere.

"Nina must be conjuring something else to stop us!" Blaze growled, already fed up with the evil fairy's obstacles.

"What Nina making this time?" Zeg wondered, tilting his head.

"We better not stick around to find out," Sparkle suggested.

"Sparkle's right," Blaze agreed. "Whatever she's making won't be any good for any of us. We better fly faster,"

"Argh, easy for you to say," Crusher groaned. "Your wings weren't drained from being used to as a power-up,"

"No one asked you to, you know," Starla scoffed.

"Not that he could help himself!" Pickle defended. "He didn't even know what he was doing!"

"Guys, stop arguing!" Watts came in between them. "This isn't really doing anything for anyone, so stop it!"

"At least I used my magic, even without realizing it," Crusher growled, glaring at the cowgirl truck. "What did YOU do to help?"
