Winx Club - Episode 217/Cinélume Script

Intro/Recap
Narrator: In our last episode, the fairies traveled to Gardenia for Mitzi's Halloween party. Mitzi planned an evil prank, but the invisible pixies foiled the plan. In the end, it was Mitzi who was the butt of the joke.

Scene: Lack Roccaluce, Magix

 * Bloom is sitting on the grass, thinking about something deeply. Lockette flies around her head.*

Scene: Faragonda's Office, Alfea
Faragonda: Poor Bloom, I wonder what's bothering her? Griffin: Darkar will target Cloud Tower next to get that piece of the codex. Faragonda:If my fairies and your witches work together they can protect the codex. Griffin: You may be right but still, no witch likes the idea of working with fairies. Including myself. Faragonda: Well, we've got to find a way to put aside our differences. Griffin: I don't know how, but I know who to ask. The Winx Club: What?! Bloom: We're to study at Cloud Tower?! Layla: You can't be serious! Stella: No way am I wearing those tacky witch outfits! Faragonda: Calm down, girls. You know, we have to protect the codex at Cloud Tower. Tecna: There are absolutely no records of witches ever asking fairies for help. Faragonda: And that's where Mirta's advice has been most helpful. Mirta: Umm, the witches think that Alfea fairies have it easy. And all the teachers say that fairies wouldn't last two days if they were to take their classes. Musa: So, we've gotta swallow up pride, is that it? Faragonda: Fairies aren't slaves to pride like the witches are, correct? The Winx: Mm-hm. Faragonda: Then it's settled, if you're willing to take classes at Cloud Tower, Lady Griffin is willing to ask for your help against the Trix. Bloom: And she won't regret it! The Trix will never be able to get anywhere near the codex.
 * Faragonda watches Bloom through her mirror.*
 * Griffin turns around and uses her magic to disappear. Later, the Winx Club and Mirta gather in Faragonda's office.*
 * Stella imagines herself wearing witch fashion, including black top and pants, a long rd dress and gloves, and a dark red top and skirt outfits.*
 * The Winx Club nod.*

Scene: Hallway, Cloud Tower
Lucy: Mirta.
 * Lucy is looking out the window, watching the Winx Club and Mirta arriving at her school.*

Scene: Outside, Cloud Tower
Layla: I wish Piff could come along. Zing: I'll get you my pretty and your little Piff too! Tecna: She wouldn't be happy. Cloud Tower's energy is too negative. Bloom: Yeah, it would probably give our pixies massive headaches. Layla: Hey, Zing seems fine. Zing: Don't worry Layla, I'll save you from the dark magic. Musa: Yeah, but she's kinda... Stella: Crazy? Bloom: Come on, guys. We need to think about working together with the witches. Stella: Yeah right, and I don't even like being in a crowd where there's a single witch! Bloom: But they did help us fight the Trix last year. Musa: You seem to forget that they helped the Trix fight us a bunch of times! Layla: Musa, did the witches do something to you?
 * The Winx Club, Mirta and Zing are walking towards the entrance of the school.*
 * Zing morphs herself into a witch.*
 * Zing does fighting moves.*

Scene: Musa's Memory
Icy: Where do you think you're going? Musa: Leave me alone! Musa:Oh no! Okay, now what do I do? I'm trapped! Icy: Looks like you've reached the end of the line, fairy.
 * Icy grabs a hold of Musa's arm.*
 * A crowd of witches are shown chasing Musa and blasting her with their magic. She is chased into a dead-end.

Scene: Outside, Cloud Tower
Mirta: Most witches want nothing more than to prove themselves better than a fairy. Bloom: I hope they realize that stopping Darkar is more important. Ediltrude: Don't your worry yourselves about that little fairies. Zarathustra: We're just as capable as you of understanding the situation. Ediltrude: Even more I say. I am Professor Ediltrude and this is Professor Zarathustra. We're here to escort you. Zarathustra: We've been told that you'll be staying with us until the danger is past. Ediltrude: Or until our classes become too much for you, whichever comes first. Bloom: So, will you be showing around the building? Ediltrude: Actually, Cloud Tower is not your typical building... Zarathustra: It's a living creature with roots and branches. Flora: Roots and branches? Ediltrude: It's a magical entity created by ancient witches.
 * Stella gags. The Trix appear in the sky above the school.*

Scene: Auditorium, Cloud Tower
Griffin: Welcome to Basic Witchcraft 101. The objective of this class is to teach beginners and honored guests the rudiments of dark magic. Musa: This is so embarrassing. Layla: Ever since we got here, the witches have done nothing but stare at us. Stella: They're jealous of our sense of style, that's why. Griffin: We'll begin with a simple exercise, producing energy by conjuring up dark images. Flora, will you start us off? Flora: Aren't we gonna divide up in groups to practice first? Griffin: In groups?! Witches working in groups?! Griffin: Listen up fairies. Team members can betray one another, that's why a witch depends on no one but herself. Flora: Yes, but I mean yes, ma'am. If that's how witchcraft works, then... Tecna: I don't want to learn any of this stuff. Griffin: Now everyone take out your textbooks and open them to page 3,026.
 * The witch students laugh.*
 * Griffin opens the textbook.*

Scene: Hallway, Cloud Tower

 * Mirta walks up to her former dorm room, where her picture has been crossed off the door. She knocks, but Lucy doesn't answer. Looking sad, Mirta walks away.*

Scene: Auditorium, Cloud Tower
Griffin: Very good. No, not dark enough. It's a little dusty. Griffin: Hmm, better than I'd expect from a fairy. Musa: Great. Griffin: Many of our spells require darkness as a primary source of energy, and so it's important to learn to subdue light. Stella: Sorry, but I don't do darkness. Griffin: You realize that your grades here will end up on your permanent record? Stella: Have you seen my permanent record? These marks will fit right in. Bloom: Professor, if I complete the spell, can I leave class early? Griffin: Are you feeling alright Bloom? Fairies don't normally summon up negative feelings so easily. Bloom: I've had a bad week.
 * The students are creating purple spheres. One of them gets zapped by the sphere, another's has been choked by a tentacle, making the other students laugh. Griffin walks amongst the students, assessing their spheres.*
 * She sees that Musa has created a dark sphere.*
 * Stella's sphere glows golden.*
 * Bloom's sphere has turned red.*

Scene: Potion's Lab, Cloud Tower
Icy: Will you stop it? Someone's gonna hear us. Stormy: No one's down here this time of day and I'm sick of trying to find a needle in a haystack. Darcy: We don't have much of a choice. Stormy: We have control over the tower, let's just tell it to bring us the codex! Darcy: Griffin still has most of the tower under her power. Icy: Well there's nothing around her, so let's split up and look for likely hiding places. Darcy: Fine.
 * Stormy is angry and blasts a display containing glass.*
 * Darcy and Icy use their Gloomix to make holes in the wall for them to fly into.*

Scene: Hallway, Cloud Tower
Stormy:Well, well, well.
 * Stormy spots Mirta walking.*
 * Stormy sneaks after Mirta.*

Scene: Library, Cloud Tower
Bloom: Lady Griffin said I could count on all of you. We need to stop the Trix from getting into Cloud Tower. Tecna: Based on previous patterns, they'll make their move any day now. Witch 1: We can stop them on our own. We don't need you! Stella: Bloom, why bother? Let's just do this ourselves. Musa: Stella, you're as bad as the witches! Stella and Witch 1: Hey, take that back! Layla: Everybody, just calm down! Bloom: Let's just keep our eyes open for now. And if you know any secret entrances... Lucy: We wouldn't tell you about them. Bloom: Fine. Then just make sure the Trix don't use them. You okay with that? Witch Student 1: Don't worry, we'll stop them! Witch Student 2: Not that you know how to do that! Lucy: That's right. You've lost twice now. Layla: At least we stood up to them. Musa: Which is more than you'll ever do. Lucy: Rumour has it that Bloom actually gave them what they wanted. Stella: How dare you say that about Bloom? Tecna: Technically, it's true. Stella: Who's side are you on?
 * The Winx Club are standing with a group of Cloud Tower witches.*

Scene: Cloud Tower Hallways
Lucy: See that? Fairies can't agree with one another.
 * Mirta arrives outside the library and can hear the Winx Club and witches arguing.*
 * She pushes open the door and walks inside.*

Scene: Library, Cloud Tower
Mirta: What are you guys doing? Stella:: Collaborating. Isn't that obvious? Mirta: You're arguing, so who's watching the Trix? Flora: Mirta's right. We must get together. Witch 1: Yeah, well I'll listen to Bloom while I'll listen to that traitor. Mirta: And if the Trix win 'cause you didn't cooperate, what do you think Griffin will do to you? Bloom: Okay, everyone. This is our chance to stop the Trix before they get enough power to threaten all the Magic Dimensions. Let's make Griffin and Faragonda proud!
 * Witches gasp.*
 * Everyone cheers.*

Scene: Hallway, Cloud Tower
Icy: Stormy, have you found the Winx yet? Stormy: Yep. It's just like Darkar figured. Icy: Let's catch up with Darcy. I see a weakling.
 * The Trix use magic to spy on the Winx Club and Cloud Tower students.*

Scene: Lucy's Dorm, Cloud Tower
Mirta: So did you have fun at the dance the other day? Lucy: Yeah, I did. Mirta: It was like when we were kids, remember? Lucy: The village fairs, you always dragged me to them. Mirta: We had fun though, didn't we? Lucy: You had more fun there than at school that's for sure. Mirta: And you always wanted to be with the "big kids" in art class. Lucy: Yeah, because I was better than them. Mirta: You know, we've been through so much together. Lucy: Remember the first day of school? Mirta: You tried to sit with the Trix. I thought they'd turn you into a toad. Lucy: And you were such a wimp, Griffin almost didn't almost let you in. Mirta: Maybe I'd have been better off. Having a lot of fun at Alfea. Lucy: Don't tell you want me to become a fairy. Mirta: Well... Lucy: No way, if I keep studying witchcraft, I'll get all kinds of power. Mirta: I guess some things never change. Lucy: Hey, not all witches are like the Trix. Lady Griffin is strong and proud. Someday, I'll be just like her! Mirta: I understand. Lucy: You know, just because you're not a witch anymore- Mirta: Doesn't mean we can't still be friends, right? Lucy: Right.
 * Mirta hugs Lucy.*

Scene: Hallway, Cloud Tower
Lucy: Huh? Icy: Well, well, well. Stormy: What have we here? Darcy: It's our old friend Lucy. Icy: You are going to help us, right? Lucy: Why don't you just leave me alone, huh? Stormy: Because we know you, Lucy. Icy: You'll help us, yes or no? Lucy: No! Icy: How dare you attack me?! Darcy: Hey, Stormy. I think Lucy needs to be reminded of what happens to those who fight the Trix. Lucy: Wait, no! Lucy: I'll do whatever you want... just don't hurt me please. Icy: That's more like it.
 * The Trix surround Lucy.*
 * She zaps a cockroach with her magic to make it grow. She attacks Icy with her magic but the Gloomix necklace absorbs the attack.*
 * Stormy blasts Lucy against the wall with her magic.*

Scene: Griffin's Office, Cloud Tower
Griffin: Well, our students seem to be searching every nook and cranny for any sign of the Trix. Looks like Bloom managed to convince them. Ediltrude: Yeah, for now.

Scene: Zarathustra's Classroom, Cloud Tower
Zarathustra: Now, the next exercise is absolutely vital for honing your magic skills. The brighter the glow, the more dark energy you can sell. Bloom: Professor Zarathustra, we don't understand what to do. Zarathustra: Then let me help you. Everyone, close your eyes. Now think of all the times someone kept you from doing what you wanted. Think of the last time you felt helpless or angry. Think of stress, loneliness, heartache. Fill your heart with thoughts of sadness and gloom. Mirta: Professor, that's enough! Zarathustra: Mirta, you're interrupting the lesson. Mirta: I took this class with professor Ediltrude last year and this exercise isn't part of it. Bloom: Mirta? What's going on? Mirta: She set all this up for you guys. Stella: What? Musa: That's not fair! Zarathustra: Well... The lesson was almost over anyway. Everyone gets an 'A', except Mirta.

Scene: Statue Room, Cloud Tower
Zing: Ridiculous!
 * Zing is zooming around wearing a disguise.*

Scene: Griffin's Office, Cloud Tower
Griffin: I expect all the teachers to help if the codex is in danger! Ediltrude: Did the Trix really become so powerful? Griffin: Faragonda herself told me that Darkar has gifted them with special powers. Ediltrude: If you're so worried about the codex why not send the teachers- Griffin: Don't mention it's location! Fiume-evernesco! Ediltrude: You were spying?! Ediltrude: She won't get far, Lady- Griffin: No, stop! She's scared that's all. Besides, I think what's happening here is fairly obvious.
 * Outside, Lucy eavesdrops their discussion.*
 * Griffin uses her spell to open the door.*
 * Lucy runs off.*

Scene: Hallway, Cloud Tower
Lucy: Icy, is that you? Lucy: No! Mirta: Lucy, what's wrong? Lucy: The Trix, they're already here. Mirta: What? Flora: No! Lucy: They're after me. Musa: Hey, what's going on? Bloom: The Trix are already in the tower. Layla: Let's get em! Bloom: Mirta, I really think you should stay with Lucy. Everyone else, let's go and find those Trix. Stella: Good idea Bloom, "let's go and find those Trix"! How are we supposed to do that? Bloom: I'm open to suggestion. Tecna: I know. Based on the past evidence, we can't beat the Trix at their own game. Bloom: Nice way of saying we already lost Tecna: If we wait for them at their destination, we'll get the jump on them. Flora: But they're after the codex! Layla: And we don't know where it is! Tecna: I'll calculate it's most probable location and we'll wait there. Stella: I'm not relying on your dorky computer. Bloom: That's too dangerous, we could lead them straight to the codex. Musa: We're not getting anywhere. I bet you the witches are hiding the Trix. We can't trust 'em! Stella: Way to go, tough girl. Go beat up some witches 'til they tell you where the Trix are. Layla: Lay off, Stella! It's not as if you've got any better ideas! Stella: Fine. Think you can find them without my help, go right ahead! Bloom: Stella! Well, I'm gonna look where Lucy last saw them. Come if you want. Musa: She didn't even consider my idea. Tecna: My idea has the highest chance of success. I'll try to find the codex.
 * Lucy is spooked by Zing. She runs the opposite way and runs into Bloom, Flora, and Mirta.*
 * Lucy faints. Mirta kneels beside her and she wakes up.*
 * Tecna, Musa, and Stella arrive.*
 * The Winx Club run off with Zing following after.*
 * Stella runs off in another direction.*
 * Bloom walks off in another direction and Flora follows.*
 * Musa walks off in another direction and Layla follows.*
 * Elsewhere in Cloud Tower, Bloom and Flora examine a burn on a wall. In another hallway, Musa and Layla walk together. Tecna and Zing consult Tecna's hand-held device.*

Scene: Dining Hall, Cloud Tower

 * Stella sits alone at a table.*

Scene: Classroom, Cloud Tower
Tecna: I was right, magic power flows through the entire structure of Cloud Tower. Like blood through the veins of a living being. And it originates here: the heart of Cloud Tower. Darcy: So you've found the Codex. Stormy: Now tell us where it is. Tecna: Not in a million years! Techno- Icy: Glacial Sleep! Icy: Too slow. Well, what have we here? I'd say we found the spot. The codex is ours!
 * The Trix arrive.*
 * Tecna is frozen by Icy's spell.*

Scene: Statue Room, Cloud Tower
Musa: Ooh, creepy. Layla: No kidding. Musa: Mind you, the atmosphere is in keeping with the rest of the building. Layla: What now? Musa: Let's ask those witches a few questions.

Scene: Hallway, Cloud Tower
Icy: What's wrong? Can't you reach that central room? Darcy: No. Griffin has total control of that area of the tower. Stormy: What a pain. Icy: Of course, she'll have set up her strongest shields around the codex. Darcy: If we get near it, we'll lose control of the tower. Icy: Then we'll steal it the old fashioned way. Stormy: With brute force.
 * Darcy tries using her Gloomix to break through a wall, but fails.*

Scene: Classroom, Cloud Tower
Flora: Oh no! Bloom: Tecna! Flora: Icy was here, who else could've done that? Bloom: Zing, what happened? Zing: The Trix, they know where the codex is. Flora: Tecna figured it out. Bloom: And then the Trix found out from her. Flora: We've gotta help her and warn the others. Bloom: No time. The Trix will reach the codex any minute now. Flora: But Bloom- Bloom: You help Tecna. I'm going after them. Zing: I'll go with you. Flora: Oh no you don't. Bloom, be careful!
 * Flora and Bloom come inside to see what happened to Tecna.*
 * Zing tries to follow Bloom, but is pulled back by Flora.*

Scene: Statue Room, Cloud Tower
Witch 1: What kind of question is that? You don't trust us, do you? Musa: Of course not. You're a witch! Witch 1: What? How dare you! Layla: Hey Musa, did you hear that? Witch 1: What's going on? Layla: Something bad. Icy: Ooh, a welcoming committee. Stormy: Hm, a bunch of witches and a couple of Winx. That's a nice warm up. Musa: Ha! Found them first! Layla: Actually, they found us. Musa and Layla: Magic Winx! Musa: Alright, witches. Give it your best shot. Let's see you defend your school. Witch 2: Hey, shut up! We know what to do!
 * An explosion sound is heard.*
 * The Trix arrive.*
 * Layla and Musa transform.*

Scene: Dining Hall, Cloud Tower

 * Flora arrives.*

Scene: Statue Room, Cloud Tower
The Trix attack Musa and Layla.* Musa: Come on, witches! Stormy: Little brats. Layla: Got her! Icy: You're gonna pay for that. Musa: Sonic Vibe! Icy: This is turning into a complete waste of time. Darcy: Icy, those gargoyles are part of Cloud Tower, right? Icy: Cloud Tower, protect us! Musa: Oh no! Layla: Look out! Witch Student 1: Run! Darcy: Now that's entertainment. Icy: Yeah, well, no time for games. Let's get out of here.
 * The witches of Cloud Tower attack the Trix.*
 * Layla uses a Morphix wall to trap Stormy.*
 * Icy shoots icicles at them.*
 * Musa uses her magic to knock the icicles aside. Icy and Darcy conjure a shield to block the attacks.*
 * Stormy gets free of the net.*
 * The Trix use their magic to animate the statues. As they separate from the walls, the room begins to collapse.*

Scene: Classroom, Cloud Tower
Stella: This is ridiculous. If Bloom were here we'd be done in no time. Where is she, anyway? Flora: I hope she's alright. Zing: Gotta crack this nut.
 * Stella tries to melt the ice that Tecna was inside, but it's taking longer than usual.*
 * Zing is transformed into a squirrel, which is a reference to Ice Age.*

Scene: Heart Chamber, Cloud Tower
Bloom: I'm the first one here. They must've been sidetracked. They're coming. I can do this. Magic Winx!
 * Bloom rises in the air, red magic surrounding her.*

Scene: Statue Room, Cloud Tower
Witch 1: Good going, we destroyed the gargoyles but the Trix got away. Musa: And who's fault is that? Layla: Your magic just bounced right off them. Witch 2: At least we tried, you guys didn't even attack. Layla: My net did more damage than anything you tried. Musa: Hey, maybe you let them get away on purpose. Witch 2: How dare you?! Musa: Alright them, bring it on. Flora: No, wait! All of you, that's enough! Tecna: You've got to stop! Flora: It's this place, it's making you crazy. Musa: Yeah, sorry. Stella: Alright, macho girls, you might like to know that the Trix are about to get the codex. Flora: And Bloom's fighting alone. Tecna: I know where they're going, follow me.
 * Musa, Layla, and the Cloud Tower witches are standing around in the aftermath of the battle.*

Scene: Heart Chamber, Cloud Tower
Bloom: Blast Ball! Stormy: Hey, there's only one of them. Darcy: What's wrong, your friend couldn't come out to play? Icy: She's all yours. Darcy: Optical Darkness! Bloom: My eyes!
 * The Trix arrive at the chamber and conjure a purple bubble.*
 * Bloom uses her magic against the purple bubble but it doesn't have an affect.*
 * Stormy and Darcy attack Bloom from the front, while Icy flies behind her. Icy attacks Bloom from behind, throwing her to the ground.*

Scene: Heart Chamber, Cloud Tower
Darcy: Poor darling can't see a thing. Icy: Ready, girls? Bloom: No, I've got to keep fighting somehow. Icy: Now! Icy: Let's pick up our prize.
 * The Trix use their magic to throw Bloom against a wall.*

Scene: Hallway, Cloud Tower
Tecna: It's right there, come on!

Scene: Heart Chamber, Cloud Tower
Flora: Bloom! Layla: It's up to us to stop them. Icy: It's too late, fairies. The heart of Cloud Tower is opening. Musa: No. Icy: The codex is ours.
 * The Winx Club and Cloud Tower witches arrive. The heart begins to open.*
 * Stella gasps, and the Trix turn to see the heart opening. Inside is the silhouette of Griffin.*
