Winx Club - Episode 303/Cinélume Script

Intro/Recap
Narrator: Chimera's magic has transformed Stella into a monster. The fairy tale of the Princess of the Sun and of the Moon has ended for good and there is no way out for her and the Winx.

Scene: Outside, Royal Palace
Brandon: Hey Sky, you think that the girls will be able to find a way out of the palace, huh? Sky: Knowing those girls, they'll get out of there without even a single scratch.
 * Brandon and Sky run towards their ship.*
 * There is an explosion behind them in the aviary tower.*

Scene: Aviary Tower, Royal Palace
The guards ride the platform towards Bloom's fire wall.* Guard #1: Prepare for impact. Bloom: Hurry up! The soldiers are catching up with us fast! Guard #1: This ends right here. Bloom: Come on, girls. Let's fly! Guard #1: Get the monster! It will tell us what they did with Princess Stella. Everyone ready? Musa: Oh no! Bloom: Stella! Bloom: The rain is dark magic. It's weakening the shield. Bloom: Stella! Girls, help me! Stella: Bloom! Bloom: Stella, hang on. I'm coming! Tecna: Come on.
 * The guards activate their shields.*
 * They reach the top and Musa uses her magic to open the door into the aviary. The guards reach the top also.*
 * The guards shoot their weapons at Stella, causing her to fall over the side of the tower. Stella screams as she falls and Flora gasps.*
 * Tecna forms a shield to use against the guards, while Bloom runs to rescue Stella. As Bloom dives over the edge, Flora uses her magic on Bloom to shield her against the guards.*
 * Bloom catches Stella but is struggling to hold her.*
 * Stella slips out of Bloom's grip and Stella screams again.*
 * Tecna, Musa, and Flora fly outside and down to Bloom.*
 * Bloom catches Stella again, and Tecna, Musa, and Flora use their magic to help them.*
 * Tecna, Musa, and Flora fly down and form a circle around Stella with Bloom. They help fly Stella down to the ground.*

Scene: Forest, Royal Palace
Musa: Phew! We did it. Despite this crazy rain. Tecna: I know it was last minute in all, Stella, but how about a 'thank you' for saving your life. Stella: I almost wish you hadn't. Look at what's happened to me. Bloom: Don't you worry, Stella. We'll get you back to your old self, you'll see. Flora: Everyone talks about sunny Solaria, but no one mentions this dark rain thing. Stella: I wanna know who did this to me, and why Solaria's getting rained on for the first time ever. Bloom: You'll find out, Stella. We'll help you. Brandon: You girls alright? Stella: Oh no, not now. Stella: I don't want Brandon to see me like this. Bloom: Everything alright? Sky: Yeah, but we were really worried. Sure glad we found you. Brandon: The party was getting pretty crazy. What happened? Tecna: Everything's okay now. Don't worry. Bloom: So then, during the commotion, King Radius ordered the guards to arrest us. Brandon: Impossible. He's Stella's father. Bloom: Well, uh, Stella couldn't do anything because the King and the guards were under some kind of spell. Flora: We don't know exactly how it all happened. The guards started to chase us and so we ran away. We didn't have any other choice. Musa: They cornered us in the Aviary Tower, and from there we were able to fly down. And so we're here.

 * The guards run towards the trees.*

Scene: Forest, Royal Palace
Sky: Uh... are you telling us everything? Brandon: Where did Stella go? Musa The guards! Bloom: Sky, hold on. Tecna: No, Bloom, don't. They can make it on their own. We've gotta get Stella out of here. Bloom: Sky! You and Brandon go to the ship. Here, catch! We'll send you our coordinates, and you can come and pick us up. Stella: Are they gone yet? Bloom: They're keeping the guards busy. Stella: Good. Let them distract the guards. I know a secret way out of here. Follow me. Guard #2: Soldiers, they're getting away! Unleash the hounds! Stella: Oh no! They've released the hounds of Solaria. Bloom: It's no use trying to use magic against them. It won't work in this rain. Musa: Well then, we'll just have to run faster! Stella: They recognized me despite how I look. My father had given me these dogs for protection. Okay, good dogs, go home now. Bloom: We'd better go. Sky and Brandon are going to be looking for us. Stella: Come on. I know the perfect way out of here. Follow me! There's this secret passage I used to take when I wanted to sneak out of the palace grounds to go dancing downtown. Here we are. Musa: Uh, Stella, where is it? Do we need a spell or something to see it? Stella: It's in that hollow tree. Stella: I came across it quite a long time ago. I was just scampering about, you know, being my usual happy self. When suddenly, there it was: a great, big, hollow tree. As I got closer to have a better look at it, I realized it was connected to an underground tunnel that led straight to the fountains of the palace. I was so thrilled at my discovery that I decided to tie a little ribbon to one of the tree branches so that I would always know which one it was. Needless to say, I snuck out of this tunnel to go to dances and parties, more often than I should've, one might argue. Bloom: Great! So, what are we waiting for? Let's go.
 * Musa notices the guards running towards them.*
 * The guards start shooting at them. Sky gets his in the back, and the guards surround him and Brandon. Bloom starts running towards Sky.*
 * Tecna stops Bloom.*
 * Brandon starts to fight the guards. Sky gets up and starts fighting as well.*
 * Bloom throws a device to Sky.*
 * Stella leads them deeper into the trees.*
 * A group of guards are following dogs on leashes. The dogs break free of their leashes and run after Stella.*
 * Stella trips on a tree root and falls down. The hounds surround her and Stella is scared, until the recognise her smell and lick her face.*
 * The dogs walk away.*
 * A flashback of Stella as a young girl in the forest is shown.*
 * The flashback ends and they find the entrance to the tunnel.*
 * They all enter the tunnel.**

Scene: Tunnel, Solaria
Bloom: Eugh. Flora: I find this tunnel really creepy. Musa: Yeah. It looks like some weird animal den. Stella: It was never fun walking through it. Tecna: How did you avoid getting all dirty? Bloom: She probably used some kind of dirt-deflection spell. Stella: To tell you the truth, I don't remember all this mud. Or that bottleneck for that matter. Bloom: How do we get through there? Tecna: According to my scanner, the bottle neck isn't that deep. Bloom: We'll go one at a time. Carefully. Tecna: I'll go first. Bloom: Alright. Musa: Great! Now our dresses match our shoes. Right, Stella? Let's go. Stella: Girls, help! I'm stuck. Musa: It's Stella. She can't get through. We've gotta help her. Come on! Stella: I don't care how, just get me out of here! Stella: Finally. Thanks, you guys. Stella: Lucky for us. This portion of the tunnel held up. Let's go. Stella: This wasn't here before. It looks like someone or something dug another tunnel. Tecna: Stella, we've gotta make a decision. Bloom: Okay, imagine there's a party, which one are you going to take? Stella: Okay, left. Yes, let's definitely go left. Bloom: Stella, what about these giant holes? Were they here before? Stella: Actually, I don't think I remember any of this. Stella: And I definitely don't remember these giant spiders! Musa: Giant spiders?! Stella what did you get us into this time?! Bloom: Stella! Tecna: No! Tecna: The spiders... they've caught them! If I don't do something fast, it'll be too late. Stella: What? What just happened? Tecna: There's no time to explain. We have to get out of here. Bloom: This way. Quick! Tecna: The only way out is in. You all ready to swim? Bloom: Yes. We can use the magic bubble to breathe.
 * Stella leads them into the tunnel. The ground is muddy.*
 * They come to a blockage in the tunnel with only a narrow passageway to get through.*
 * Tecna uses her magic to scan the passageway.*
 * Tecna squeezes through the passageway and makes it to the other side where the tunnel widens once again. Bloom follows her, then Musa.*
 * Flora follows Musa through the passageway. They start to continue down the tunnel.*
 * They run back to the passageway.*
 * The girls grab Stella and pull her out.*
 * The tunnel starts to crumble.*
 * They keep walking but the ceiling is starting to cave in. A giant rock is rolling towards them and the girls start to run away. They come to a crossroads and stop.*
 * The girls run into the tunnel on the left and the rock gets stuck at the entrance.*
 * Spiders come out of the holes.*
 * Spiders surround them. Stella backs away and falls over.*
 * Bloom runs towards Stella but a spider shoots web at her, sticking her to the ground. Tecna slips in the mud and falls back against the wall of the tunnel.*
 * She is knocked unconscious from the fall. A spider drags Musa, who is unconscious and covered in web, away. The spiders stick Bloom, Musa, Flora, and Stella to the tunnel walls. Tecna wakes up and sees this.*
 * Tecna uses one of her gadgets to create an illusion of the others and the spiders scuttle over to them. Tecna flies up to the girls and uses her magic to cut them lose and lower them to the ground. The girls start to wake up while the spiders are still distracted.*
 * They run along the tunnel with the spiders following them. They come across water blocked their way.*
 * The Winx dive into the lake. Leeches attack them and they pass out. Luckily for Stella, she is unaffected and able to find a hole in the wall. She breaks through and the current washes the leeches off and the fairies are carried out through a fountain.*

Scene: Fountain, Solaria
Bloom: The leeches are gone! The current washed them away. Stella you saved us! Stella: I did? Yay for me! Stella: What's this for? Bloom: To hide you. I'll send our coordinates to Sky and Brandon so they can come and pick us up.
 * The girls surface in a fountain.*
 * The girls get out of the fountain and stand in the trees nearby. Bloom creates a coat for Stella.*

Scene: Omega Portal, Andros
Valtor: Thanks to the Sun of Solaria, I am strong again! Valtor: That girl in the royal palace... who was she? Trix, come here. Stormy: Hey, Valtor, drop the attitude, will you? Icy: You got something to say, just say it. Darcy: You don't look very tan. Did the sun bath work? Icy (thinking): Well, I guess it did. Stormy (thinking): I like this guy. Darcy (thinking): Very impressive. Valtor: I've got to find this girl. Can you tell me who she is? Icy: Bloom! Darcy: She's one of those lame Winx fairies from Alfea. Stormy: She's powerful but nothing we can't handle. Valtor: Who are these Winx? Darcy: A bunch of goody-goody meddlers. They're the ones who got us sent to the Omega Dimension. Icy: Next time we see them, they're so done for. Valtor: Sounds like these fairies' magic is rather powerful. I don't care what you do with the others but don't touch Bloom. She's mine!
 * A flashback of Valtor encountering Bloom in the palace is shown.*
 * The Trix appear.*
 * The Trix fly closer and Valtor uses his powers to turn the sky red with fire.*

Scene: Red Fountain Ship, Magix
Bloom: Sky, I need to contact the school and let them know we're coming in. Sky: Sure, go for it Bloom. Brandon: Stella? Is something wrong? Talk to me. Stella: Oh, Brandon, it's nothing. I'm just cold and tired after what happened. Sorry, I just need rest. Brandon: Okay, whatever you say.
 * The Winx Club, Brandon, and Sky approach Alfea in a Red Fountain ship.*

Scene: Library, Alfea
Bloom: Stella, I'm sure Concorda will find a counter spell to turn you back to your old self. Stella: I can't keep hiding from Brandon. Sooner or later he's gonna get to see me. Flora: We could put a spell on him to hide your looks so he'd only see your inner beauty. Stella: Well, right now I'm not so sure my inner self is any prettier than my outer self. Bloom: Hey Knut, what's up? Knut: For you, my beauty. Uh, sorry, I got hungry on the way and ate the flowers. Stella: Uh, thanks. Flora definitely put that spell on Brandon. Lockette: These are really heavy! Concorda: Oops, sorry girls. I think I found the solution to Stella's problem. Bloom: The Mirror of Truth. "The Mirror of Truth is kept in the cave on the far side of the barrier." Musa: Where's the barrier? Concorda: It's the mountain range outside Magix. The mirror has the power to break the spell but you have to figure out how to use it. Stella: Concorda, are you sure this mirror thing will work? Concorda: Yes dear, but it'll be a dangerous journey. The mirror is guarded by White Giants and other sentries. They won't be easy to get past. Stella: Sheesh. When is anything ever easy around here? Oh well, what does the mirror look like? Concorda: You'll know it when you see it. Knut: I could go with you and help. Stella: Uh, Knut, I think it'd probably be better if you stayed here.
 * Knut sees Stella in monster form and develops a crush on her.*
 * Knut walks up to Stella and offers her a bunch of flower stems.*
 * All laugh. The pixies are helping Concorda research. Lockette carries a book.*
 * A book slides off the shelf and falls onto the girl's table, surprising them.*
 * The book opens and Bloom reads from it.*

Scene: Stella's Room, Alfea
Stella: Oh Brandon, Brandon.

Stella: If only you were here to comfort me, I'd put my arms around your big, broad shoulders...
 * Knut listens to Stella at the door.*

Scene: Stella's Room, Alfea
Stella: ... and tell you that you are my only love forever and always.

Scene: The Winx's Dorm, Alfea
Stella: Oh, where are you now? Knut: Yeah!
 * Knut runs around in excitement, then knocks on the door.*

Scene: Stella's Room, Alfea
Knut: Here I am. Stella: Knut? But why are you here? Knut: To comfort you. You can put your arms around me. But before that I want to formally court you. Stella: Well, if you want to court a girl, especially a princess, you must have grace and excellent royal manners. Knut: Oh, I can be royally mannered. Stella: And when you approach a girl, you must do so with style and elegance, while maintaining a perfect posture and showing great deportment. Flora:Stella, you ready or am I interrupting something? Stella: Oh get serious please. Bye-bye, Knut, gotta go now.
 * Stella hears a knock on the door and Knut opens it.*

Scene: Hallway, Alfea
Flora: Was Knut courting you? Stella: Yeah well I guess he was. I suppose he can't resist my new looks but Brandon cannot see me like this! Flora: Don't worry, once he's spelled, he won't see your outer appearance, he'll only see your inner self.
 * Stella and Flora walk down a hallway together.*

Scene: Quad, Alfea
Stella: Did you put the spell on him yet? Flora: Mm-hmm. Stella: Well here goes nothing. Brandon: Hey gorgeous. Stella: Hooray! Guess I am pretty inside. Brandon: What? Stella: Oh, nothing.
 * Brandon, Sky, and Timmy stand beside a Red Fountain Ship, while the girls walk towards them.*
 * Stella takes off her coat.*

Scene: Red Fountain Ship, Magix
Stella: Guys, are we there yet? Tecna: Data indicates that we're approaching the sector where the cave is located. Sky: Hey, I didn't do that. I think there's something outside the ship. It must be the White Giants Concorda told us about. Tecna: What's happening now? Timmy: Well according to the instruments, atmospheric conditions are moderate but it seems there's ice building up on the hull of the ship. Musa: Reminds me of something Icy would do. Flora: Let me handle this. I'm gonna break the ice with my Solar Sprouts! Timmy: That won't work. The ice temperature is way too low. Tecna: It's magical ice, Flora. Your sprouts will never be able to take root. Brandon: We'd better find a solution soon. Magical or not, the ice is getting thicker and heavier. Musa: Bloom, why don't you melt it with your Dragon Fire? Bloom: Good idea. Magic Winx! Sky: No, Bloom, stop. Going out now would be too dangerous we don't know what power these White Giants have. We have to find another way to de-ice the ship. Bloom: I've got an idea but you're gonna have to trust me. Sky: I trust you. Bloom: We do a power dive. The friction will create heat and melt the ice. Sky: It might work. Hang on, everyone! Bloom: Just don't pull up until I say so. Stella: I don't think I'm gonna like this very much! Stella: Not liking it. Getting dizzy. Getting nauseous! Brandon: Pull up, Sky! Pull up! Sky: Not until Bloom says... Stella: World is spinning. Gonna hurl! Brandon: Pull up, Bloom? Bloom: Not yet! Musa and Flora: Pull up, Bloom? Bloom: Now, Sky, now! Stella: Is it over yet? Sky: Yes, Stella, it's over and Bloom you were amazing. Tecna: The cave is in sight. Musa: What are those things? Bloom: I hope they're not what I think they are. Sky: They're attacking us! Bloom: Then they are what I thought. More guardians of the mirror! Sky: I can't see!
 * The ship shudders and starts to fly through a storm.*
 * The ship starts to slow down.*
 * The ship continues to slow down as it is covered in ice.*
 * The ship flies high in the air.*
 * The ship starts to dive.*
 * The ship pulls up, just in time to avoid hitting a mountain. Flora and Musa cheer.*
 * Griffins attack the ship.*

Ending
Narrator: Only the Mirror of Truth can break the spell cast on Stella. Will the Winx succeed in saving their friend? But above all, will they succeed in surviving the Griffins' attack?
