Janessa and Flora woke up at noon and started getting ready. Flora first put on the jumpsuit. It was fitted perfectly. It was nice and she could sposta around in it easily so she would be able to jump and sposta comfortably. She grabbed the fan and looked at them again before she closed them and put them in a holder in her belt. Her short hair was perfect so it wouldn’t get in the way too much, but she still pulled it back into a ponytail with some tendrils on the right side of her face. Then she went with Janessa did a few exercises for about 15 minuti and then they were really ready. After being gone for nearly a year, she was ready to get her life back from that witch. She grabbed her mask and put it on. It fit perfectly over her nose and mouth. Then they both left and started walking back to the palace.
    When they got to the middle of the woods and they decided to albero hop the rest of the way for a little surprise attack. Janessa dropped down first and landed on one of the guards and she took one of her sai’s and stabbed the guard in the neck then she flipped back off of him. Then Flora jumped down and landed on the guard as if he was giving her a piggyback ride. She pulled out one of her fan and flicked it open. She sliced the guards head off and then jumped off and kicked him down. The army looked at the two of them. All of them drew their swords. Janessa pulled out both of her sai’s and Flora flicked open both of her fans.
“And let the fight begin.” Flora detto boldly.

    The winx and specialists were all sitting in silence. What Calypso had predicted turned out to be true. Helia’s chest stopped moving at 2am. Timmy saw it and had woke the rest to tell them. They still had kept him on the couch. Stella went and got one of the fiori from the vase on the dining room tavolo and lied it on his chest. They were mostly all crying too. Calypso and and Ryan were sitting together in the window sill in the office room when they heard something come from outside. They looked out the window but all they saw were the woods so they went out to the main part of the palace. The winx and specialists were gathered near the front at the front door looking out the windows that were on the sides of the door.
“What’s going on?” Ryan asked. Then he looked out the window and saw that half the army was what they assumed dead o unconscious and two women fighting their way through.
“Who are they?” Calypso asked.
    Janessa and Flora kept on fighting. Flora closed her fan and inserted both into two different guards and then opened them which cut their superiore, in alto half from their bottom half. Then she ran to the successivo group. Janessa stabbed her sai’s in one of the guards shoulders used the sai’s as handles and went vertically and then she stabbed her sai’s in the shoulders of other guards as if she were walking on her hands, but da stabbing the sai’s in their shoulders instead then on the 6th guard she sat on him, like a reversed piggyback ride and then she stabbed the sai’s in his neck then she jumped off of him and moved on to the successivo group. In about 5 minuti they were down to two guards, and even though they saw them take out the whole army, they still charged at them. Janessa took one of her sai’s and stabbed him in the abdomen 7 times and then kneed his head as hard as she could. Flora put her fan in her holder then ran toward the guard but she put her hands on his shoulder and jumped on the other side of him she quickly pulled out her fan closed and stabbed them in the back of his head then she jumped back over to the front side of him, pulled out the fan them stabbed them back in his face. She watched him fall backwards then looked over at Janessa.
“Well done.” She detto while she put her sai’s in a holder she had in her upper back.
“Back at ya.” Flora responded while summoning fan in her hand and then putting them in her belt.
“So now we get in. Icy’s not dumb enough to leave the door unlocked and your Friends probably will get caught opening it.” Janessa Explained while looking at the entrance.
Flora looked around for another way to get in. The windows on the palace are too strong to jump through so they couldn’t do that.
“Do te know any other ways in Flora?” Janessa asked.

Flora’s POV
I start thinking and then I remember the secret part of the basement.
“Follow me.” I say while running around the castle.
Around on the side is a secret panel that can be pressed in to open a secret entrance to that room. I run to the plain part of a bacheca that is in the back and look up at a ledge on the left. I need to get up to it because the area that needs to be pressed is up there somewhere. It’s too high to jump for but maybe a boost will work.
“Boost me to that ledge.” I say while turning to her.
“Ok.” She shrugs while squatting and putting her hands in front of her. Good thing I’m not wearing heels. I was able to just barely grab the ledge and pulled myself up. I carefully scooted to to the middle, still hanging. I used one hand to reach above and feel for the area while keeping strength in my other arm to hold my weight. Mom told Miele and I about this and detto that when we touched it we would feel a mini power surge, so that was what I was looking for. I finally found it and pressed as hard as I could to open the passage underneath me on the wall. I swung myself in and turned to look at Janessa standing on the edge.
“Found it.” I sang.
“Obviously.” She detto while stepping up. I lied down on my stomach and put my hands down and pulled her up. Then we got up and we both closed the passage and started running down the rocky corridor. When we got to the end there was a ladder and we ran climbed that which lead to the secret room. I moved the book case, and we were in the main part of the basement. We ran up the stairs and busted through the door.

No POV

The Winx and specialists looked over where they heard the sudden door burst open and saw Flora and Janessa.They had no idea was Janessa was. And due to Flora’s new appearance the winx didn’t know who she was. But Ryan, Calypso and Shawna did. Flora looked over at them with their confused faces with tears in her eyes. Just being in the same room as them made her happy. Her parents, Ryan, Shawna and Calypso’s eyes widened when their eyes met Flora’s and the curiously stepped up.
“Alejandra?” Shawna asked.
“Yes.” Flora detto with a low voice with her tears breaking through. The 8 of them ran towards each other for a group hug.
“I can’t believe it’s you!” Calypso detto through her tears.
“I’m beyond happy to see all of te guys.” Flora detto while she pulled apart from the hug and looked at the winx.
“I know te guys don’t know who I am. But it’s me...Flora.” She detto calmly while wiping her tears.
“No way.” Stella said.
“Yes way!” She detto while walking towards them and hugged all of them.
“I missed te guys so much.” She detto while looking at them.
“We missed te too. Nearly a year.” Musa replied.
Flora’s eyes suddenly had widened.

Flora’s POV

My eyes widened and I went into a slow motion phase because I sensed something coming my way. Magic
I quickly pulled out one of my fans, flicked them open and put them in front of my face to block the magic. I looked up at the staircase and Icy was right there looking at me.
“I don’t like visitors.” She detto while walking down the steps.
“And I don’t like you.” I responded.
The winx and specialists casually walked back into the living room and Janessa came and stood at my side.
“I’m surprised te came back.” Icy detto while inspecting Flora.
“Nice outfit te got there.” She said.
“Thanks, I guess.”
“Who’s your friend?” She detto while looking at Janessa.
“Look, I didn’t come here for small talk I came here to fight te and reunite my friends.”
Icy starting roaring with laughter.
“You, fight me?”
“Just because I don’t have magic doesn’t mean it’s not possible.” I say while glaring at her.
Icy used magic to force Janessa and I hard against a wall. Icy flew towards us as we got up.
“I’ll give te one chance. te can either leave now alive o you’ll both leave through death.” She said. We both got up and brushed ourselves off.
“I’m not leaving them. Not again.” I say.
“Your choice.” She said. She forced us back again against the bacheca with our feet off the ground She put her hand up which acted like a noose da holding us to the bacheca which strangled us. She smirked before she turned to the winx.
“You can enjoy watching them die.” She said.
We were one step ahead of her. I used the blades of the fan to cut the ice away and Janessa did the same with her sai’s. We quietly dropped down. I threw one of the fan and it sliced her back a little before they landed and disappeared into the dining room. She kind winced before turning to look at us.
“I’m not giving up so easily this time.” I say while summoning my fan again.
She looked impressed da what we had done.
“Well well, looks like it will take a little più to stop te this time huh?” She said.
“Yes, yes it will. I’ve had enough of your silly games. I’m challenging te to a one on one. Just te and me.”
“You’re serious about that? Whatever te say.” She said.
Janessa handed me something that looked like a baton. But it was actually a bojitsu. Which is a staff. If I clench it it will turn into a metal staff with a glowing rosa aura. Using the bladed fan could potentially kill Icy and that isn’t the goal. The goal of this fight is to weaken her to the point of being able to pull out her cuore at ease like Janessa said.
We decided to go outside so there would be più room.

No POV

It had been about 10 minuti since Icy and Flora started fighting and the winx and specialists watched. Flora used the bojitsu and mixed in some regular arm and leg strikes as well. Even though Icy was surprised at how good Flora was with fight her, she fought as hard as she could. She sent a wave of icicles towards Flora but she summoned her fan and blocked as many as she could. She ran towards Icy and kicked her in both of her sides, then used the bojitsu to hit her in her side knocking her on the ground but she quickly got up and fired off a spell which Flora dodged da stabbing the bojitsu in the ground, putting her hands on the superiore, in alto and jumping up vertically and balancing herself so she wouldn’t fall into the spell. Then she dropped down and gripped the bojitsu and hit Icy in the shoulder.
“Argh!” Icy yelled while grabbing her shoulder.
“Had enough yet Icy?” Flora asked.
“Of course not.” Icy responded while getting back up. She raised her hand and summoned her own staff.
“I will not lose to some fairy!” She yelled while sliding on ice into Flora making her fall. She quickly got up. Icy summoned her own staff and jabbed the end of her staff into Flora’s stomach and swung her up into the air and slammed on her back. She struggled to get up and faced Icy again she was going to hit her with the bojitsu but Icy raised her hands up which formed icicles that formed around Flora trapping her legs. She flew over to her and kicked the bojitsu away and took her fan and threw them. Flora looked at her shocked.
Icy then stepped back and started to form big balls of magic in both her hands. She looked up at Flora with her eyes that were completely blue.
“You will now feel death's cold embrace.” she detto before she threw them at her. Flora was unable to sposta her legs but she crossed her arms in front of her chest and closed her eyes. Flora summoned the fan and opened her eyes and uncrossed her arms to reflect the magic back to Icy. The witch gasped as she was hit da the blast square in the chest. She got slammed back and was dizzy. When she got slammed the icicles disappeared and Flora saw this was her chance. Flora picked up the bojitsu and ran towards Icy for her final strikes. She struck her in the neck with her elbow, the she turned and kicked her back a little in her chest, She used the bojitsu and hit her in her back 3 times and finally she stabbed it in the ground again swung herself up to kick Icy in her chin making her fall on her back. Flora made the bojitsu small and put it in her cintura then walked over to Icy who was lying on the ground.


Flora’s POV

“I told you, it was possible.” I say before putting my hand in her chest and pulled out her heart.
“What’re te doing?” She asked while looking up at me.
“Ending your violence.” I replied.
“Not just towards me, but towards everyone.” I say.
She gave me a mean stare before she passed out. I turn to the others and walk towards them. Janessa stepped up to me and held up her hand for a high five.
“You did it!” She yelled.
I sigh of relief.
“We did.” I say while hugging her.
“Thank you.
Then I look at the winx and specialists and I notice something and I depart from the hug.
“Where’s Helia?” I ask.
The winx and specialists exchange looks at each other.
We walked back into the palace and they lead me into the living room where he was lying on the couch.
Before they even started talking I already had tears flowing out of my eyes when I saw how pale he was, and that his chest wasn’t moving.
“No, no no!”I yelled before setting Icy’s cuore down and kneeling down in front of the divano and looking at his pale face.
“When did this happen?” I asked.
“He, passed last night.” Shawna said. I could hear their tears too. Especially Janessa’s.
If only we had done this a giorno sooner I think as I lie my head on his chest crying.
“We’re sorry Flora.” Stella said. I just continued crying. Nothing mattered to me anymore. Helia was my everything, and now he was among the deceased. I look at his face again, growing sadder and a little angrier. But there isn’t anything I can do. I won’t kill Icy, and it’s not like I can bring him back to life either.I take off my mask and sigh before i lean over him.
“I will always Amore you,” I whisper before I close my eyes and baciare him. I depart when I feel a wave of something. A wave of magic. I open my eyes and a millisecond later he opened his while gasping. The biggest smile comes on my face. He looks at me and smiles.
“Helia!” I exclaim as we hug each other.
“Flora!”
Despite my different appearance he still recognized me, probably da my voice, and I guess who else would baciare him like that?
“True loves kiss.” Calypso detto with a face full of awe.
“I thought I had Lost you.” I say through my tears.
“But te found me, for the secondo time.” He detto before baciare me.
“I guess I will always find you.” I say.
I get off the ground and help him up.
He glances at Janessa and I see his face tense up and he steps in front of me.


No POV

“What’re te doing here?” He asked.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine now.” She detto before walking over and they hugged. The winx and specialists didn’t notice this.
“I thought I’d just help get te two back together and see te again along the way.” She detto while departing the hug.
“It’s been years.” He said.
“Indeed it h-” She got interrupted da a sound coming from the basement. It sounded like pounding.
“What’s that?” Stella asked.
“Let’s go see.” Flora detto while picking up Icy’s cuore then opening the door to the basement. They went down and found out that the pounding was coming from one of the coffins. They exchanged looks before they slowly opened the coffin to see Stormy. Awake and well, as if nothing had happened to her.
“Stormy?” They all detto confused.
“I’m just as confused as te are.” She detto while hopping out the coffin.
“The baciare must’ve reversed all of Icy’s magic, and since she used magic to kill me…” Stormy theorized.
“You’re back!” Tecna yelled while hugging her.
“If that’s why Stormy came back, shouldn’t Miele be back too?” Sky asked.
There was no più pounding which meant Miele wasn’t so lucky.
“She probably got her arm back. But since Icy used più direct attacks like crushing her back and te know that. I don’t think so. Sorry, Flora.” Musa Theorized.
“Don’t apologize. It’s not your fault. It is what it is.” Flora responded.
“Wait whoa whoa. With all this being said, Flora shouldn’t te have your powers back?” Aisha asked.
Flora held out her hand and she formed a ball of magic.
They all cheered.

The winx and specialists were happy that Stormy was back. It was unfortunate that Miele didn’t come back either. But one is better than none. The winx and specialists had taken care of Icy da having her sent to the same jail room but they managed it better. There were special guards that watched her to make sure she didn’t do anything. And Flora used her magic to make the ice from Icy’s cuore vanish taking her powers over anything. They noticed a crystal collana around her neck and took that as well. The guards kept her cuore in a box and would only use it to control her. Flora explained what had happened during her nearly anno long time away from all of them and they all thanked Janessa. Flora got the Lynphea princess titolo back, the snow and ice went away and it was warm and beautiful outside. Everything was pretty much back to the way it was before.
Flora eventually fell asleep on the divano with her head on Helia’s shoulder.
“Awwww, that’s adorable.” Stella whispered.
“Helia, te should surprise her when she wakes up.” Janessa detto while nudging him.
“How so?” He asked. She leaned over and whispered something in his ear and he smiled.
“That’d be perfect.” He said. He gently lied Flora down and they quickly got to work and stayed quiet so they wouldn’t wake her up before they were done.

3 hours later...

Flora’s POV

I woke up and I was in my bed. No one else was in here with me. I sat up and rubbed my eyes and looked around on the end tavolo successivo to the letto there was a rose and a card like thing with my name on it in cursive folded hamburger style. I picked it up and opened up. It was from Helia and it had the best words in it. I get up and I start to run down the stairs and I see them all ready for me. I jump and hug him.
“Of course!” I yell.
