Winx Club - Episode 225

Storming Shadowhaunt (Face to Face with the Enemy in the Italian Version) Is the twenty-fifth episode of the second season of Winx Club.

Synopsis
The invasion of Shadowhaunt begins as Amentia's guard worm burrows a hole to Shadowhaunt for the Winx to travel through. Darkar and Dark Bloom prepare to open the gate to Realix but the Trix inform him that the Winx managed to get into Shadowhaunt, and Darkar wanted the Trix to use all their Gloomix power to power up the shadow monsters. They do so and feel exhausted. When they confront Darkar he tells them that their services are no longer required. As the Winx struggle to get into Shadowhaunt Darkar summons Kerbog and transforms him into another monster. The Winx manage to use convergence to beat the monsters and land in Shadowhaunt. After an emotional farewell the Winx go to find Darkar, only to find that he and Dark Bloom have already left for Realix. They run into Kerbog's new form, an extinct Opticeratops. Just as Kerbog was about to finish them off, Miss Faragonda, Miss Griffin and Cortatorta arrive with the Pixie Elders to save them.
