Walking through the courtyard towards our next class, Alastair and I ate some yovo fruit crystal bon bons as we watched Bloom excitedly dial Sky's contact to tell him of yesterday's psychic activities with Professor Avalon. Once he picked up, we watched as she rambled on before her brows furrowed letting us know that something went wrong with the conversation.

"She's not watching where she's going." Alastair warned as we tried to guide her away from the pillars just for the girl to still be yelling into her phone.

"Bloom watch out!" I yelled before the dragoon fairy crashed into the school's pillar causing all her books to fall out of her hands as she stumbled to the ground.

"Listen Sky, do me a favor, hang up the phone! Huh?"" We hear the dragon fairy yell at her device before looking confused and sad.

"Bloom..." I said quietly getting a shake from her head making the feline and I start helping her with her books.

With a grumble she threw her phone away as I saw it skid towards an approaching Flora. Seeing her grab it, I gave her a nod in thanks before going after the orange-haired girl. I knew not to say anything at the time so I guided her to our new class where the rest of the girls would be in hopes that that would cheer her up.

Meeting up with the girls Bloom, Alastair, and I saw that Stella wasn't here as the music fairy was walking towards us.

"Come on Stella, our first self-defense class is about to start!" We hear Musa call out as we see the blonde fairy rush towards us.

"Coming! Hold on, I'm going in first. The professor could be a looker like Avalon and we're about to get physical. Ah!" The sun fairy exclaimed reaching us before excitedly approaching the door and letting out a horrified gasp.

"What's wrong? You look as if you've seen something horrible." Tecna asked as we all approached the door curiously.

"Griselda?!" We all asked, astonished.

"Will you guys ever learn to get to class on time?" The teacher huffed with hands on her hips as we all filed into the classroom.

"This is our magic self-defense class. Shouldn't our teacher be here?" Stella retaliated, confused.

"I am here. And consider yourself lucky. Without a teacher of my caliber, you don't stand a chance against the Trix." Griselda stated before pointing to our chairs' with a strict face.

(Darkar's Fortress)

Stomping across the room, the Dark Phoenix stomps towards his throne and takes a seat while the three witches at his command phase into the room and kneel at his feet.

"At your service Mater Darkar." The Trix greeted as they awaited their master's orders.

"State of alert has been lowered at Red Fountain. You know what that means... Now is the time to strike!" Darkar growled, impatient to get his hands on the desired item.

"We will go and claim the Codex Master, and we'll eradicate whoever dares to put themselves in our way." Icy declared as a smirk lined her features.

"Then go! And don't disappoint me." The Dark Phoenix growled with a threat laced in his words.

Cackling, the Trix flew out of the fortress and headed to their destination. Red Fountain. 

(Alfea)

After taking a seat in our respective chairs we listened to Griselda's lecture.

"Now, you are up against an enemy much more powerful than you. This enemy has just cast a terribly destructive spell. What do you do?" Griselda proposed waiting for one of us to answer her.
