Winx Club - Episode 223/Cinélume Script

Intro/Recap
Narrator: In our last episode, Layla was separated from the others and was forced to overcome her fear of being alone. Timmy's plan saves everyone and Tecna is happy, even though she isn't the hero of the fight. They both earn their Charmix, but the pixies are exposed to a strange pollen.

Scene: Dungeon, Under Realm
Prisoner: My magic power might be restrained by your iron mask, Darkar, but sooner or later, I'll find a way out of your dungeon.
 * A prisoner is in chains.*

Scene: Pixie Village, Magix
Pixie #1: Ninfea, what's wrong with the Tree of Life? Ninfea: I'm not sure. Pixie #1: You know it hasn't been looking well ever since it was attacked by that evil ice witch. Ninfea: Let's not worry, perhaps it can be healed. Livy: Thanks for trying to cheer me up Glim, but it was all my fault! I'm the one who led Icy to the village. Yeah, I know I saved the village but now Darkar has the Codex. And that's even worse! Livy: The Specialists are here! They've probably come to punish me. Livy: Wait, the bonded pixies all sound sick. Come on, Glim, let's go see what's going on. Layla, Flora, what's the matter? Oh my, are you guys okay? Digit: Do we look it? Achoo! Chatta: We flew into a cloud of spores which got us really sick. Layla: We're going to need to collect a few leaves from the Tree of Life to brew some healing tea. Livy: So you're not here to punish me? Even though I lost the Codex? Flora: Oh Livy, of course not. We all know you were just trying to save the village. Tune: And there is absolutely no way that Musa... Digit: Or Tecna... Lockette: Or Bloom... Amore: Or Stella... Chatta: Or Flora, will ever let Icy and Lord Darkar get away with their mean and nasty plan. Helia: I once read the short rhyme that went "While the Tree of Life remains alive, Pixie Village will grow and thrive." Lockette: That's why we had to come back for it's special tea. Livy, the Tree of Life is still alive, isn't it? Livy: Yes of course it is. It's just that... Flora: The Tree of Life is sick. There's no doubt about it. Livy: That's because Icy was so mean. Chatta: But if the tree should fade and die, the pixies from this world will fly.

 * Sky, Brandon, Helia, Flora, and Layla walk towards the village, holding the sick pixies.*

Scene: Dungeon, Under Realm
Prisoner: My magic's contained by the mask, but perhaps I can use it upon myself. It's quite dangerous in my condition but it's worth the risk. Inyari Variako Inyari Revesera! Prisoner: Freedom at long last!
 * The prisoner sees some liquid in the ground.*
 * The prisoner melts into liquid to free himself. He reforms outside of the chains.*

Scene: Darkar's Fortress, Under Realm
Darkar: Now that I possess all four parts of the Codex, I must have the power of the Dark Dragon to unleash the ultimate secrets of the Relix! Avalon: Fear not, my lord, I will deliver her myself. But master, might I make a request. Darkar: What is it?! And be brief. Avalon: Please master, get rid of the prisoner! Darkar: No, I won't dispose of my favourite plaything. You will live a long life of suffering. And now begone!

Scene: Auditorium, Alfea
Faragonda: We are gathered here today to honor and congratulate five very special young ladies who have just completed their Charmix transformations.

Only by means of such progress will we be able to protect ourselves against Lord Dakar's upcoming assault on Magix and the forces of light.

Scene: Auditorium, Alfea
Avalon: Professor Griselda and I agree. The only way for you to master your new powers is by dealing with genuine hazards. Griselda: I'll need everyone to stand over here. Avalon: Now the assistant headmistress and I will sprinkle the special willow leaf powder over you all. Griselda: Girls, this is a serious exercise. I wouldn't laugh if I were you. Avalon: Good. Now the powder will copy portions of your individual vital energy, like so. Sili Laiquam! Musa: Griselda, what's gonna happen with that? Griselda: That will test your power to fight off an enemy of your own creation. Bloom: We're our own worst enemies, huh? Yeah well, we've already been through that I'd say. Griselda: And so let's see how you do it here. Overcoming the opponent within is a matter of discipline. Avalon: Alright everyone, if I were you I would transform right now and get ready to do battle with a most worthy adversary. Bloom, Musa, Tecna, and Stella: Magic Winx! Griselda: If you want to defeat Lord Darkar, you girls are going to have to do much better than that. Stella: Bloom, give us the signal. Bloom: Okay everyone, get ready. Positions! Musa: Come on, girls! Charmix! Bloom, Stella, and Tecna: Charmix! Stella: Charmix! Musa: Charmix! Tecna: Charmix! Bloom: Charmix! Tecna: Yes! I trapped her in a mental puzzle! Bloom: My turn! Stella: Alright, my turn! Tecna: She can't go anywhere. She's trapped in in data structure. Bloom: Musa, try your attack again! Avalon: Nice work, students! Bloom: You really think so, Professor? Stella: Miss Griselda, what do you think? Did we do okay? Griselda: Stella, I am very proud of the progress you and your three friends have made. You're a credit to the school. Francis: Excuse me, Miss Faragonda sent me. A message just came from Pixie Village. Bloom: Must be from Layla and Flora! Stella: I hope the pixies are okay!

Scene: Faragonda's Office, Alfea
Ninfea: It's no good, Faragonda. The Tree of Life is sick! How are we going to heal the pixies? Faragonda: Obviously, you are the only one who can save the Tree of Life, Flora. Faragonda: Come in. Flora: But I don't even know where to start and besides, I'm the only Winx who hasn't got her Charmix yet. Faragonda: You're the Fairy of Nature. You have the gift of healing. Flora: Yes, but if I should make the slightest mistake, the Tree of Life will die. Faragonda: Flora, no ifs and buts. If you want to help your friends and yourself, you must act.
 * Faragonda is talking to Flora and Ninfea via magical link.*
 * There is a knock at the door, Griselda and the rest of the Winx Club have arrived.*

Scene: Pixie Village, Magix
Jolly: Yes, let's see... the tarot cards say "Amore, you're never gonna get better". Livy: Jolly, that wasn't very nice. You should make it up to her. Jolly: Here. Ninfea: Flora, please just do your best. Flora: Oh, that's no good. I can't even tell the sick parts from the healthy ones. Flora (thinking): No, I must have faith in myself. Alright. Magic Winx! Chatta: Wow, Flora! Amore: You are so powerful! Sky: What is going on? Layla: Come on, let's gather some leaves so we can brew the tea that'll heal the pixies.

Brandon: No. Not if it's gonna make my tummy glow. Lockette: Huh? Hey look at that! Livy: The Tree of Life is giving birth again! Brandon: Funny. That's not what we were taught in health ed class. Ninfea: This is how pixies were born and pixie pets too. Sky: Well guys, should we head back? Brandon: Yes, let's, before Red Fountain sends out a search party. Layla: Hey Flora, come say goodbye to the guys! Chatta: Flora, this is it! Flora: But what if- Chatta: No ifs and buts, go talk to Helia! Flora: But he's leaving and he didn't even say goodbye to me. Chatta: Ever thought he too might be shy? You gotta move! Flora: Helia? Helia. Flora: Helia! Helia: Huh? Flora: Oh no he heard me. Okay, what do I say to him? Chatta: Are you trying to give me an ulcer? Chatta: Come on, Flora. Tell him how you feel! Flora: I wanted to tell you- I mean, I wanted to thank you for what you did. Helia: You're the one who deserves all our thanks. Flora: I've wanted to tell you this in person but I guess it's... Brandon: What's wrong, Helia? Technical problems? Helia: Please, go on, Flora. Flora: I just wanted- I mean, if you, uh...but well, I... Helia: Perhaps this isn't the right time, but thanks Flora. Chatta: You stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid-! Flora: What if he doesn't feel the same way about me? Chatta: Flora! Faragonda (in thought): No ifs and buts, you must act. Flora: Helia, I love you! Helia: I do too. Chatta: Flora, you did it!

Scene: Quad, Alfea
Stella: I can hardly wait to see Amore again. Musa: Professor Avalon, what's wrong? Avalon (real): Fara... Faragonda... must see Faragonda... Stella: I'll go and get some water. We can talk later! Musa: Professor Avalon is acting really weird. Tecna: On top of that, we just saw him in the hallways 11 minutes ago. Now he comes to us from the opposite direction? And in this state? It doesn't add up. Musa: Maybe this is one of Professor Wizgiz's clones. Tecna: That's logical. But why is it damaged? I'll go find a teacher, you stay here and keep an eye on him.
 * Musa, Stella, and Tecna are walking across the quad together.*
 * The prisoner comes out of the forest and walks towards them, before collapsing. His hood comes off and they recognise him as Avalon.*
 * Stella leaves.*

Scene: Hallway, Alfea
Stella: Oh, there you are. You look a lot better. Well, here's your water. Avalon (fake): Oh, thanks. Stella: Is it okay to ask what happened to you? Did you see Faragonda? Avalon (fake): Well, just a series of unfortunate events. Thanks again for the water. But now I must be going. Stella: He seems so nice to me even though I'm failing his class. Maybe he'll pass me after all!
 * Stella is running through the hallway when she spots the fake Avalon walking towards her.*
 * The fake Avalon leaves.*

Scene: Stairway, Alfea
Tecna: I can't find Wizgiz anywhere. I wonder if it's worth bothering Faragonda over a possible Avalon double.

Scene: Quad, Alfea
Avalon (real): I must speak to Faragonda. Musa: Wait, Professor Avalon, don't exert yourself. Need anything? Avalon (real): Sorry, but do I know you? Musa: Well, I'm one of Avalon... I mean, one of your students. Avalon (real): But I haven't taught here yet. Musa: Of course you have. Avalon has. You've been here all semester. Avalon (real): No, it couldn't have been me. All this time, I was held prisoner in Lord Darkar's dungeon. Musa: So who's been teaching us? We gotta get you to Faragonda, like right now! Avalon (real): That's what I've been trying to tell you. Musa: Come on.
 * Avalon tries to get up.*
 * Musa helps Avalon walks towards the school.*

Scene: Faragonda's Office, Alfea
Faragonda: And you've been in Darkar's dungeon for how long? Avalon (real): I can't...I'm not sure. Several months, at least. Faragonda: Hmm, so you claim to be the real professor Avalon. But can you prove it or do you expect me to just take your word for it? Avalon (real): I have this: the letter you sent me about my transfer to Alfea. It's signed by you. Faragonda: Yes, it is the letter. We have a spy in out midst. Musa: But our professor can't be Darkar's shadow spy! He's a good teacher and he's helped us more than once. Faragonda: That's very true. But if I remember correctly, he first showed up in Darkar's cavern. Now that's quite a coincidence. Tecna: And remember what Bloom said? They never figured out why the pixies were free. It was all part of Darkar's deception. Faragonda: Yes and there was also the time when the pixies fell under a homesickness spell, Bloom's hypnosis... Musa: But that doesn't make sense. Wasn't it Avalon who freed Bloom from that hypnotic spell? Faragonda: Wait, but of course! Now I get it. You said that Avalon was able to wake Bloom up just like that. But dispelling such a powerful magic spell cannot be done quickly, unless he were the one who cast in the first place. Musa: Let me get this straight; he did all that just to earn our trust? Tecna: Then he could fool Bloom and the pixies. It's a logical plan Musa: But we learned so much from him. I mean, how? He was such a great teacher. Avalon (real): Darkar probably used his magic to copy all of my memories, including all of my lesson plans. Faragonda: And his goal was to find the four pieces of the Codex. He didn't consider you a threat, so he didn't mind helping you learn, especially if it meant gaining your trust. Musa: And it worked. Now he's got everything he wanted. Tecna: Except Bloom. Musa: Huh? Tecna: Don't you see? That's why he had the Trix come after us in the Wildlands. Faragonda: Girls, where is Bloom? She could be in danger! Stella: Hey everyone! I thought I'd find you here, now guess what I- Oh, you're here, professor. Tecna and Musa: Stella, where's Bloom?! Stella: I haven't seen her. But when she disappears, it's usually to go see Professor Avalon but since he's here, I don't know where she is. Musa: Come on, Stella. Bloom's in big trouble!
 * The real Avalon is meeting with Faragonda, Musa, and Tecna in her office.*
 * Stella arrives.*

Scene: Hallway, Alfea
Musa, Stella, and Tecna: Bloom, where are you? Bloom! Bloom: So, Professor, what was it you wanted to ask me about? Avalon (fake): I have some questions about the time I put you under hypnosis. Bloom: When I caught the shadow virus and helped Darkar steal our Codex? That was the worst day of my life. Avalon (fake): I know, and I want to make sure it never happens again. Come with me.
 * In another hallway, Bloom and the fake Avalon are walking together.*

Scene: Avalon's Classroom, Alfea
Avalon (fake): Now then, Bloom... Bloom: Yes? Avalon (fake): Start from the beginning and tell me what you remember about that day. Bloom: I don't remember much. All I know is I'll do anything so it won't happen again. Avalon (fake): Follow me. I have a spell that'll make your wish a reality. Bloom: Professor, I really don't know about this spell. I'm picking up so much negative energy. Avalon (fake): That's alright, my dear. And that's because this is a dark magic barrier. You are trapped!
 * Avalon uses his magic to conjure a large, golden bubble. They walk into it together.*
 * Avalon reveals his identity to Bloom, red lines appearing on his face and wings appearing on his back. Bloom screams.*

Scene: Hallway, Alfea
Musa: Bloom! Tecna, Stella, and Musa: Bloom! Bloom! Musa: The scream came from over there!
 * Musa hears Bloom's scream.*
 * Musa, Stella, and Tecna fly down the stairs towards the sound.*

Scene: Avalon's Classroom, Alfea
Stella: Oh no! We're too late! Tecna: Huh? What's that? Tecna: It's Bloom's.
 * Musa, Stella, and Tecna enter the classroom, but Bloom and the fake Avalon are gone. Her birth medallion is lying on the ground.*
 * Tecna picks up the medallion.*

Scene: Quad, Alfea
Flora: Hey, everybody! We're back!
 * Flora, Layla, and the pixies arrive back at Alfea.*

Scene: Hallway, Alfea
Layla: The pixies are all healed. Lockette: Hey, where is everybody? Bloom! Faragonda: Welcome back. Unfortunately, I have sad news to report. We have been deceived. Bloom's been abducted.
 * Flora, Layla, and the pixies walk inside but the hallway is empty.*

Scene: Darkar's Fortress, Under Realm
