Winx: The reincarnation 2

Chapter seventeen

Electra smirked, her eyes narrowing as she leaned closer to Crystal. "Oh, I'd love to see you try," she sneered, her voice laced with condescension.

Crystal pushed herself up, determination hardening her gaze. "You're not going to get away with whatever you're planning—MAGIC TRANSFORM!" she shouted, instantly shifting into her fairy form.

Electra's smirk faded, replaced by an irritated scowl. "You fairies are so predictable," she muttered, her voice dripping with disdain. "Do you really think you can stop us? We're far more powerful now." Her jewel began to glow an ominous, eerie electric blue light as energy crackled menacingly around her fingers, ready to strike again.

Crystal's eyes naturally fell on Electra's glowing jewel on her thigh. She suspected it to be a power-up. "You are not going to get away with what you are planning."

Electra's smirk twisted into a sneer. "You talk too much. Let's see if you can back it up."

With a swift motion, Electra unleashed a bolt of dark energy, aiming straight for Crystal. Crystal countered with a blast of radiant magic, but the impact of Electra's spell sent her flying backward into the wall.

"You are outmatched!" Electra's eyes gleamed with a dangerous light as she prepared for another strike, but before she could move, a voice echoed from down the hallway.

"Back off, Electra!" Lithia's voice rang out as she and the other girls appeared, their expressions fierce.

Electra glanced at the approaching group and let out an exasperated sigh. "As much as I would like to prove the extent of my powers, I have much pressing matters to attend to," she said, her voice dripping with disdain. "But don't think this is the end. We'll be seeing each other again soon." With that, she vanished into the shadows, leaving behind the shattered remains of Crystal's phone and a lingering sense of unease.

Crystal let out a breath she didn't realise she'd been holding as Lithia and the others reached her. "Are you okay?" Artemisia asked, her voice full of concern.

Crystal nodded, her gaze still locked on the spot where Electra had disappeared. "Yeah, I'm fine," she said, though the tension in her voice lingered. "But we need to figure out what they're up to—and fast. I'm sure they're still at Red Fountain."

"I'll start tracking Electra's energy patterns," Lithia said as she pulled out a small device, focusing intently.

Meanwhile, Carissa and Danielle helped Crystal to her feet. "Don't worry," Danielle reassured her. "We'll get to the bottom of this."

"Yeah, whatever they're planning, we'll stop them," Carissa added, her tone determined.

"Got her," Lithia said, eyes glued to the tracking device. "Everyone, follow me—they're deep inside the school."

Without hesitation, the group followed as Lithia led the way through the winding halls of Red Fountain. The atmosphere grew more tense with each step, the realisation sinking in that the witches were up to something big.

"They wouldn't come all this way just to cause a scene," Luna said quietly. "They must be after something important."

"We will probably," Artemisia added grimly, her eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of danger.

As they rounded another corner, the device in Lithia's hand started to beep more rapidly. "We're getting close. Stay alert."

Just ahead, they saw a dimly lit corridor, and faint voices echoed from within.

The faint voices echoed ominously as the group approached the dimly lit corridor. Lithia motioned for everyone to slow down, her tracking device now glowing brighter with each passing second.
