Alethea's POV:

I soared gracefully through the sky, a warm smile lighting up my face. Today's training felt particularly special—it was Bloom and me against the others, and we both were transformed in our Enchantix. As the wind rushed past, I exchanged a quick, determined glance with Bloom.

A sudden noise shattered the calm. Bloom and I instinctively hovered, scanning the forest below for the source. We didn't have to wait long; the culprit gave herself away in a dramatic, unmistakable fashion.

"I'm so going to take you both down!" Stella's voice rang out, bold and unmistakable. With a flick of her wrist, radiant orbs of light materialized around us, pulsating with magical energy.

"An Anti-Sunshine spell?" Bloom quirked an eyebrow, her smirk playful as she turned to me. "What do you think, Alethea?"

I smiled softly. "I think it's time to show what teamwork can do." Stretching out my hand, I called out, "Water Doublesis!" Streams of glistening water spiraled from my fingertips, colliding with several orbs and shattering them in bursts of light. Beside me, Bloom's fiery magic destroyed the rest, the air crackling with the heat of her flames.

With the orbs gone, we descended to the ground, only to be greeted by Musa and Flora standing at the ready.

"You'll have to do better than that!" Bloom said, her tone light but challenging.

Musa smirked and raised her hands, fingertips glowing. "Oh, don't worry. We will. Sound Cage!" Vibrations rippled through the air as a shimmering cage formed around us, its pulsating energy enclosing us in a dazzling prison.

I pressed my palm against the barrier, feeling the strength of Musa's spell. "This is impressive," I admitted, glancing at Bloom. "But I think we've got this."

"Agreed," she said, her fiery determination shining in her eyes.

"Let's combine our powers!" I suggested.

She nodded, and together, we extended our hands, focusing our energy. "Great Dragon's Energy!" we shouted in unison. Twin dragons—one blazing like the sun, the other flowing like a river—spiraled into existence, their power intertwining as they struck the cage. The resulting explosion sent a shockwave through the clearing, hurling everyone backward.

When the dust settled, I looked around, heart racing. "Is everyone okay?" I called, worried we might've overdone it.

"Ugh..." Musa groaned, sitting up and rubbing her head. "I put everything into that spell..."

"Sorry!" I offered, guilt creeping into my voice. "That was a little too much."

Bloom gave me a quick high-five, a victorious but lighthearted gesture. "We're getting stronger," she said with a smile.
