Issue 101: Winx Music Tour: The Spirits of Nature

The Spirits of Nature is the one hundred and second comic issue of the Winx Club comics series.

Synopsis


On Earth, the Winx and Jason Queen travel to Magnolia, a destination that is part of the Winx's music tour. The destination is unique in its culture and music, and through Musa's suggestion, Jason Queen organizes a evaluation of local bands to perform as the opening act for the Winx's concert.

Across town, Mitzi and her two friends, Stacy and Brooke, are enjoying their vacation and attention from the boys (and envy of the girls). Mitzi laments on how wonderful the vacation is without the Winx hogging all of the attention in Gardenia, or so she thought when Stacy points out a Winx concert poster.



Furious, Mitzi rips the poster and tears it apart. Embarrassed by this, Stacy yells at her to calm down. Surprisingly to her, Mitzi is able to calm down. Brooke points out that it is the music affecting her mood. The three go check out the source - a band of native musicians. Impressed by the power of the musical instruments and wanting to out compete the Winx (particularly Bloom) at their concert, Mitzi decides to steal the instruments.

At the stadium, where the Winx will be performing. Everything is all set; not wanting the girls to miss the opening performance by a local band playing traditional instruments, Jason gathers the girls and they head for the stage. He informs them of the band, when Mitzi interrupts him and tells them their band name: The Sweet Dreams. The three girls taunt Bloom and the others, bragging about how they will win the audience's attention, enraging Stella before they leave for the stage. Musa anticipates the audience will boo them, but she was proven wrong. The audience cheers for them.



Jason informs the girls that The Sweet Dreams abnormally won the audition and that he had never heard of them until tonight. Flora purposes that they should congratulate them but Stella disagrees, reasoning that becoming stars does not happen quickly.

Suddenly, a frantic voice calls out to stop Mitzi and her friends. It turns out, the person, Djalu, and his band mates, Mandaway and Kerrianne, are the true owners of the traditional instruments. He informs them that those who, are not descendants of the ancient tribe Aboriginals, plays these instruments will release rebellious Spirits of Nature, Bunyip and Ngalyod.



However, it is too late. Mitzi and her friends unleash the rebellious spirits of nature, who begin wrecking havoc. The Winx try their best to defeat the spirits but to no avail as it is immune to magic. The audience flee for safety, while Mitzi and her friends ignorant of their misconduct, with Mitzi blaming the Winx for it. Mitzi is then assaulted by the Bunyip, and regrettably, Bloom and Musa protect her. Mitzi refuses to express gratitude.



The Winx try again, using convergence against the spirits with no luck. Mitzi continues to berate Bloom and hold the traditional instrument, didgeridoo. Tecna then says that the negative energy from Mitzi and her two friends prevents the Winx from using their Believix powers. Bloom hatches an idea and confiscates the didgeridoo from Mitzi and returns it to Djalu. Bloom tells Djalu that he should be able to tame the spirits. Djalu hesitates at first but when encouraged by the Winx, he plays the instrument and is able to tame the spirits.



Tecna invites Djalu and his band mates to join the Winx as they perform. They accept. Later, Mitzi is serving drinks as punishment for causing trouble while the Winx and Aboriginal Souls play on stage.
