Penda POV

Back at Alfea, we step off the ship, rushing to the Headmaster to update her on the mission. On edge and ready for battle, I sit on the fountain. Feeling someone watching me, I turn to find no one there.

Bidding Bloom goodbye as she and Sky go on a trip to get her powers back. Stella and Brandon go with her, leaving Tecna, Flora, Musa, and me to help with the fight.

Hearing a high screech, then the deep sound of a battle horn we transform.

As the monsters start to flood in, we coordinate our attacks. Doing everything we can to keep them away. A few slip through, but we deal with them accordingly.

Seeing a beast form I'm quick on my feet as I take flight.

"Loving Strike!"

As my hands glow, I create thick white slashes, taking two down at once. Hours go by and the first wave is over, allowing us to breathe. Sitting beside Musa and the girls, I lay on the grass, trying to calm down.

The air is thick with fear and determination, trying to keep each other lifted and ready for the fight I can't help but smile. The teachers warn us about the next attack, in the middle of it, the Headmistress of Cloud Tower and the witches slip through a dark portal.

Safe and free from the Trix.

Welcoming Stella and Brandon back, they tell us how they got split up with no information about the location of Bloom and Sky. As night rises, the next wave of attacks comes through. Fighting them off, the six of us work together, trying to keep everything at bay.

But no matter how much we take them down, more come.

Knocked down and cornered, my eyes widen. Before I can get attacked a familiar man steps in front of me, slicing the beast in half.

Looking down at me I speak softly, "Thank you."

He nods, helping me up before another monster rushes towards him. Blasting it into pieces, he turns around a bit surprised by the exchange. Pushing forward, side by side we continue destroying every creature in our midst.

The wave of monsters comes to an end, leaving us on edge for the next attack.

Sitting on the steps of the school, I try to breathe, feeling exhausted and drained. Looking up at the dark sky, the masked Specialist sits by my side.

Leaning my head against his shoulder, I feel at ease, at the simple act.

Little time passes before we get pulled away to hear an announcement from Faragonda. Warning us about the next attack, informing us to combine our powers to survive the next attack.

As the screeching creatures in the sky come flooding in, I can't help but notice more of them than before.

Thousands.

The battle begins and rages on as the once-simple monsters grow larger and stronger. Fighting by the Masked Specialist, I take the sky, helping the girls minimize the number of screeching beasts.

Landing, we begin to combine our abilities with the witches, making the beast from inside and out parish. The battle pauses, as we wait for more, only for the attacks to stop. Celebrating our victory, I feel joy spread through me.

In our dorms, we stand around the Pumpkin of a girl, discussing what the future will hold and what will become of Alfea and Bloom. Flora focuses her magic, connecting with Merda, freeing her from the spell that once bound her as a pumpkin.

Human once more, we celebrate the moment of courage and freedom. Talking with Merda, we see if she can give us any tips on the Trix but even she's surprised by this exchange.

The final battle is here, as the purple lightning rains from the sky. As everyone gets in position, I transform, ready for the battle to come.

As the army marches forward, we're ready.

The Trix sit on their throne, with thousands of monsters towering over us. As darkness meets Alfea, a shining light haunts it, and Bloom with her powers back tales the skies. We fly, fighting by her side as she takes on Icy while we deal with Stormy and Darcey.

Sending waves of attacks to the two witches, the battle seems to go in our favor. Dealing with Darcy's illusions, Tecna shields us allowing the others to flood them with their power.

Stormy forms a tornado of lighting and wind, as it comes towards us I shout.

"Join hands!"

Reaching out for them, we form a circle, letting my magic spread between us, I feel whole. The love I have for my friends fills my heart, I shout out, causing the tornado to fade away within our light.

Knocking the two sisters back, Faragonda and Griffin bind the two, causing most of the monsters to disperse. Falling to the ground, drained, I try to stand, to continue fighting, but then the rest of the monsters around us fade away.

The masked specialist walks over to me.

Helping me up, the sun peaks through the dark clouds. Bloom reveals herself with a weak Icy in her arms.

Happy to see Bloom, I smile as peace is restored once more.

The Witches get ready to leave, returning to their school as the sun starts to fall. The night comes, as the colorful light fills the courtyard. Everyone dances and celebrates, I find myself at the entrance of the school.

Standing before the Specialist as the music blares, he leans down, whispering to me softly, "We will meet again."

My heart skips a beat at the words, as he rides off into the night.
