On the song wharf, Electra took out her notebook and started writing the second stanza of her poem.

In the face of defeat,
To revenge let me not retreat.
Let patience be my soul's desire,
And let me be a patient fighter.

Aisha saw her poem and was deeply impressed.
"I see you're writing a poem," she said.
"Yeah," Electra replied. "I figured that writing a poem would help me channel my feelings of anger and frustration into something positive. After the losses we've experienced, I see what Roger was talking about when he said that I should wait until the right time to attack. Those vengeful feelings won't get me anywhere."
Aisha laughed. "Yeah, you're right. But it's okay to feel those feelings of anger and frustration after a loss. It's how you handle them that matters. And you writing this poem is a great way to channel those feelings into something positive."
"Usually waiting to attack someone isn't what I'm used to. If a villain hurts a friend of mine, BOOM! Instant revenge. But now I see why that's not the case anymore."
"I will admit, you were really scary when you attacked Valtor for petrifying Flora. I know that feeling. Having a villain hurt a friend is a sure fire way to have your anger rise to the surface, but you have to be willing to let it go and work with the anger. You did the right thing by listening to what Roger said. And you did an even better thing by writing this poem. It's great that you're able to control those vengeful feelings and accept defeat without blowing your cover."
"Thanks."
Flora turned to see Musa gazing out at the sky. "Is there anything wrong?" she asked. "You can talk to me about it."
"Something's stirring up the sea of Melody," Musa replied. "Hey! What's that?"
Ominous bubbles arose from the water. A stone appeared.
Tecna analyzed it. "It seems to be not made of matter," she observed.
"I'm sure Valtor is behind this," Aisha muttered. "There's only one thing to do. Musa, let's transform."
"Musa, Pyrix!" Musa shouted.
"Aisha, Pyrix!"

"Aisha, Pyrix!"

"Melodic Reverb!" Musa shouted, sending blasts of purple sheet music at the stone, but it didn't budge

"Looks like we need to wield our Legendix weapons," Aisha commented.
She and Musa shouted, "Legendix!"

"Matter erodes when water makes contact with it," Aisha deduced

"Matter erodes when water makes contact with it," Aisha deduced. "This should break it. Piercing Waves!" She aimed her water arrow at the stone and shot it. The stone didn't crack. Not even a little bit!
"Maybe a sound distortion attack will shake it up," Musa suggested. She started playing her flute. Not a single scratch.

Valtor smirked. "This plan is working perfectly," he laughed. "Those fairies will never break this stone!"

Electra closed her eyes and saw a vision of how to break the stone.
Opening her eyes, she said, "I got an idea." Then, she transformed into Pyrix and wielded her Legendix weapon.

"What breaks stone faster than water or sound? Energy," she said

"What breaks stone faster than water or sound? Energy," she said. "Atmospheric Energy!" Electra traced a lightning bolt with the ring, and with massive force, she released turquoise energy at the stone, shattering it in an instant.
"Good thinking, Electra!" Tecna said. "Energy does shatter stone faster than water and sound."
"How did you figure that out?" Stella asked.
"Remember what happened in Season 2?"

"Yeah," Flora recalled. "We had to get rid of a similar stone, but we failed. If only we thought before we acted, we'd have destroyed it. The problem was that we used the wrong incantation."
"But you used the right spell to destroy this one," Aisha observed, looking at Electra.

Valtor was furious. He vowed to get revenge on the girls. "Revenge will be waiting for you at your former school. Alfea." He laughed wickedly.
