The Winx were out on the beach, getting tanned as the pixies, Kiko and Lavender were playing in the water. Kiko jumps off a rock, causing Tune to block the incoming water with her umbrella.

"I think Faragonda was right." Bloom said to the others. "We really needed a vacation."

The boys were on the water, riding their windriders across the surface. "Yeah." Flora said in agreement as Dawn was sitting not far from the water's edge, meditating. "Feels good to get away from Darkar and his ugly plans. And to find ourselves in the heart of nature."

"I'm stronger than I think. I'm stronger than I think." Dawn chanted to herself as she meditates. "I'm stronger than I think."

"What is she saying?" asked Musa.

"Her mantra." said Bloom.

"I'm stronger than I think. I'm stronger than I think." Dawn said one last time before leaning back towards the sand. Digging her hands into the sand as she rolls into a backward handstand, landing on her feet.

"How do you do it, Dawn?" asked Aisha.

"Yeah, how are you able to do things like that?" Tecna asked. "Other than martial arts."

"Easy. I told Stella that in between tournaments, I also did gymnastics." said Dawn. "I was out of the house a couple times a week after school when Bloom and I were little. I stopped going to gymnastics when we were 12 but I kept up with it when needed."

"Wow." said the Winx. The Specialists continued to race each other across the water's surface.

"The red one is cute in a lifeguard sort of way, don't you think?" Stella asked, showing off her swimsuit.

"Yeah, it's perfect." said Bloom and Dawn.

"Hey, maybe we could put up a beach fashion show for the boys." said Stella, already getting an idea. The Winx then looked at the boys.

"Uh, I think they're kind of busy, Stella." said Aisha.

"Yeah, well...." said Stella as the boys continued to race each other. "I just wish they would get off those silly things and hand out with us for a while."

"And I just wish I had one so I can go and ride with them." said Aisha.

"Stella, why don't you sit back, relax and enjoy some peace and quiet." suggested Musa.

"Yeah." said Stella. "But there's no shopping, the boys aren't paying attention to us, and Tecna's not wearing a swimsuit."

"I don't want to have a tan. So, what's the use of wearing a swimsuit?" argued Tecna.

"Okay." Stella said, backing off.

"Tanning is not for everyone, Stella." Dawn tells her. "However, I can teach you five some basic martial arts moves."

"I'll pass." said Stella. Just then, Timmy pulls up to the shoreline and gets off his windrider. Out of nowhere, Aisha gets up from her towel and hops on, taking off into the water.

"Hey!" Timmy said as Aisha takes off.

At Darkar's castle, the four pieces of the codex floated before him and the Trix. "I now have all four pieces of the codex." said Darkar. "The time has come for me to embark on my conquest."

"Yes, my lord." Stormy said as the light from the codex starts to shine. "The energy of the relics will make you invincible."

Darkar then combines the four pieces, creating a big vortex. The power emanating from the codex was too strong, causing the Trix to go to their knees. "Behold!" Darkar tells them. "I shall set free the crystal of power. Its energy shall be mine for the plundering!" He then starts taking the power from the codex.
