The Core of The Magic Dimension: The Journey Contiunes.

Fracturing Mind

The Winx were laying into Bloom for what she did to Stella. Aisha said that ever since they've been together, it's just been Bloom dragging them along from crisis to crisis, more concerned with keeping herself comfortable by keeping them around than their feelings, or even their safety. Musa and Roxy agree, and are likewise fed up. Only Flora and Tecna are sympathetic. Aerilyn was - in typical nature - silent. 

Bloom tries to talk to Stella, apologising to her, but Stella doesn't respond. Instead, she leaves, saying she's going out for some air. The others follow, saying they need time to think, with Bloom staying behind with Kiko. Exhausted, Musa suggests they go somewhere to relax and think things over, and the others agree. She suggests Magix City, which Roxy is excited for, since she's never seen it. At least, not before where her memories stop.

In Magix City, where the Winx talk about what they wanna do. Of course, to lighten the mood, they do enjoy some pizza, with Roxy saying how amazed she is by the city. She wasn't expecting such a high-tech, futuristic metropolis. Tecna redirected the conversation back to their mission: earning Ardorix, getting their memories back, and stopping the Trix. Aisha argued that she didn't agree to the way Bloom has treated them or to have their lives continually threatened.

Flora made the point that they all wanted to be Guardian Fairies of their worlds; surely this falls in line with that. Musa's still of the belief that they should all take time for themselves to figure things out, instead of constantly forcing themselves to be together when clearly they don't really know each other. 

All the while, Aerilyn simply stared at her food, silent. Aisha brought up how Bloom hasn't told them everything she knows. That Selina girl with the Legendarium, for instance. It's clear Bloom knows her, but won't talk about it. Flora asserted that it's probably difficult to talk about something so personal, and Tecna reminded Aisha of the spell that wiped their memories. It's likely there are other obstacles preventing Bloom from sharing, but Aisha isn't fully convinced. 

Selina, who's watching nearby, decides to use this to her advantage. She transforms herself with her illusions, then approaches the table as Bloom, greeting the Winx as her "minions." This riles the Winx up, of course, and "Bloom" takes the opportunity to take shots at each of them: how no one cares about Tecna or Musa; how Stella and Aisha are unlikable, arrogant princesses; and how Roxy is nothing but a fledgling fairy who's almost as entitled as everyone says Bloom herself is. 

"Wait a minute, something's off about Bloom," Aerilyn said as she stared coldly at her. "Each person has a unique vibration, and that's not Bloom." She immediately grabbed her scythe and pointed it at her. "One more step, and you'll be looking like a sponge."

"The most dangerous person in the Magical Dimension, threatening me? You should be careful how you speak; people are watching."

Unfortunately, the imposter was able to momentarily distract her with that comment as Aerilyn noted the people looking at her with fear. "I'm not-" When she turned around, she was gone.

"Don't listen to her, Aeri," Flora said, trying to comfort her.

"She's not wrong," Aerilyn said solemnly as she retracted her scythe. Moments after, the Winx immediately felt a strange sensation. "W-What is that? I-I feel scared!"

"It's our pixies! They must be in trouble!" Aisha said. "We can feel the bonds between them!"

"B-But I haven't even met my pixie!" Aerilyn said. "Whatever, let's go!"

Stella was hesitant at first, but relented, and the Winx set off for Cloudtower.
