Electra hovered in the air, her eyes locked on Bloom, trapped and weakened by the cage of sorrow conjured by Icy, Darcy, and Stormy. Desperation clawed at her heart as she thought, I have no choice but to do this.

Determined, she flew to Bloom's level. "Bloom!"

Bloom's head tilted weakly, her flames flickering but not extinguished. "Yes, Electra?"

"I've got a strategy," Electra said, her voice resolute. "You focus on breaking free from that spell. I'll handle Icy, Darcy, and Stormy."

Bloom nodded, her fiery determination reigniting as flames began to form around her hands. "Got it."

Electra turned and shot toward the witch trio, her Legendix weapon clutched tightly. Tears welled in her eyes, but her resolve burned brighter. "This ends here, witches!" she shouted, her voice trembling with a mix of anger and sorrow.

Icy smirked, her tone dripping with mockery. "What are you gonna do, fairy? Demand revenge for your little friend?"

Darcy snickered. "Or chuck your Legendix weapon at us?"

Stormy sneered. "Maybe scheme and plot against us? Oh, how scary!"

Electra froze for a moment, their words cutting deeper than she expected. Her grip on her weapon tightened as tears spilled freely. But instead of giving in to their taunts, she took a deep breath and steadied herself. "No," she said firmly, her voice breaking but filled with conviction. "I don't hate losing anymore; I love to win. And now, it's time for you to face the wrath of someone who wins with strategy. Prepare to regret crossing me... my way."

From a distance, Linda observed the battle, her eyes fixed on a monitor tracking Electra's emotional state. The screen read: Aggression Remaining: 1%. A small smile played on her lips as she thought, You've got this, Electra. Let it all out—the last one percent. It's time.

Feeling Linda's silent encouragement, Electra clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, her breathing heavy with emotion. This was it—her moment of catharsis. As her tears flowed, she closed her eyes and summoned every ounce of her power, her hands glowing with a vibrant turquoise energy.

"Atmospheric..." she began, her voice growing louder with each syllable. Taking one final, grounding breath, she unleashed her full strength with one primal scream. "ENERGY!!! YAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

The spell erupted from her hands, a dazzling wave of energy that struck Icy, Darcy, and Stormy with pinpoint precision. The force of the attack sent the witches tumbling from the sky, their sneers replaced with stunned defeat.

Electra hovered for a moment, her chest heaving as the adrenaline subsided. The monitor Linda was watching blinked: Aggression: 0%.

Satisfied, Electra wiped her tears, a sense of calm washing over her. She flew down to Bloom, who was now free from the cage. Gently, Electra helped her to her feet. "Let's get out of here," she said softly.

Bloom nodded, brushing herself off as she grabbed her Mythix wand. With a fiery glance at the defeated Trix, she smirked. "Later, Trix!"

Together, Electra and Bloom teleported out of the Legendarium, their bond and triumph stronger than ever.
