Winx Club - Episode 323/Cinélume Script

Intro/Recap
Narrator: The Winx overcoming the Crystal Labyrinth test were able to catch the Water Stars, ancient objects with indescribable powers, capable of defeating Valtor.

Scene: Alfea Central Courtyard
Stella: It's like we're folk heroes! We got the Water Stars from the Crystal Labyrinth from the Golden Kingdom. It's almost epic! Musa: Whoo-hoo! A big hoorah to us! Tecna: Easy granted, we got the Water Stars but we're not done yet. We still got to figure out how to use them. Flora: Come on Tecna, we can still celebrate. Layla: Tecna's right. We know the Water Stars have ancient powers, but we still have no idea how they work. Bloom: Well one thing I do know is those stars are gonna beat Valtor. Tecna: Scientifically speaking. The energy of the Water Stars is the exact opposite of the Dragon Fire. Musa: Yeah and that's why they were being kept In the Red Tower just so they wouldn't clash with each other. Bloom: Both the Dragon Fire and the Water Stars date back to the creation of the magical universe. And both are powerful natural forces that are neither good or evil. Tecna: Yeah, so we need to release their power somehow. Layla: Well then, let's get to work. Bloom: We'll have the lab to ourselves at this time of day.

Scene: Lab
Flora: Alright, so what's the origin of their powers? Stella: Magic of course. Flora: Thank you, Stella. Very insightful. Tecna: We could try hitting them with a small burst of energy just to see if they'll react. Musa: Hmm, but what if we get a negative reaction? Stella: You mean like an explosion? Layla: I could contain them in a Morphix ball while you send your bursts of energy. Bloom: No Layla, I don't think that's the way to go. I think we should try a more personal hands-on kind of approach. Stella: Ew, they feel like gooey clams. Bloom: They're not clams, Stella. Anyways, I'm just trying to get in touch with them. Stella: Yeah. But why? Bloom: I have a hunch. You see, Valtor emerged from a fragment of Dragon Fire and so there's got to be a way to get those stars to neutralize it. Musa: Uh, Bloom? If that were to happen, it would apply to you as well. Your power also comes from the Dragon Fire. Bloom: I know. It could be very risky for me but I don't think we have a choice. Tecna: You are ready to lose your powers then. Bloom: Yes... Flora: Well then, let's all concentrate and maybe we'll be able to open some sort of communication channel.

Scene: Hideout
Icy: Valtor, what's wrong? Why so glum? Darcy: You can talk to us. Stormy: Yeah, you can trust us. Valtor: Hmm, you really wanna know what bothers me? The close alliance between the Winx and Specialists, that's what bothers me. That, and the fact that you let them beat you, and last but not least, I'm still on the run. Having to hide despite all the power contained in my box! Icy: But Valtor... Valtor: It's happening all over again! Your loss against the alliance. It's just like it was before... Darcy: Before what? Valtor: Before when the Company of Light set out to cause my-my...! Darcy: Defeat? Valtor: No, this time it's going to be a lot different. With the magic treasure that I'm yet to gather and all that I've already stored in this box, no one will be able to stop me. And this new Company of Light will pay dearly if they try. I'm going to find a way to break through the barrier around Alfea and I'm going to take all of their spells! That time has come to make a statement, and to show Magix who I really am.

Scene: Downtown Magix
Musa: What a great idea to go to the dance club, especially after that last mission. We really need to chill and have a little fun. Stella: And we all look so incredibly hot! The boys are totally gonna... Egad! Tecna: What is it? Where are they? What did you see, Stella? Stella: I don't believe this! Look at that bag in its own megasale! Other Winx: Stella! Stella: Huh? Oh, sorry. I just couldn't help it. Bloom: Come on, you girls. Let's go. We'd better hurry before our gentlemen start looking around for the other ladies. Flora: Don't worry, Layla. You won't be on your own tonight. We won't let you. Layla: Well, guys, actually I won't be alone. I asked Ophir to come and join us. During that last mission, we kinda developed...chemistry. Stella: Layla and Ophir. Ophir and Layla. That sounds good! Layla: Stella, don't get carried away. I don't even know if...well, you know. Bloom: Hey, don't be nervous. Follow your heart and don't be afraid of your emotions. Musa: Ah, boys.

Scene: Club
Brandon: Good evening, young ladies. So what were you all talking about? Stella: Oh, nothing interesting. Riven: Girls... Layla: I'm glad you could make it tonight, Ophir. I bet we'll have a good time. Ophir: Yeah, sure. Layla: Ophir, are you alright? Ophir: Yeah, of course, Layla. I'm good. Brandon: Okay, and then Riven says "I'm sorry, I thought you were my cousin." Riven: Yeah? And what would you have done, Brandon? Sky: Ophir? Bodyguard #1: Freeze! Ophir: Sorry, gotta go. Bodyguard #1: That's him! He's getting away! Sky: Wait. Hang on a second, what's going on here? Why are those guys running after him? Bloom: Layla, do you know what's going on? Did he do something wrong? Layla: I have no idea, but I'm sure gonna find out.
 * Stella and Layla giggle.*

Scene: Downtown Magix
Layla: Where is all this lightning coming from? Timmy: The strike pattern does not look natural somehow. Sky: This doesn't look good. Everybody follow me. Weber got to find shelter, quick. Flora: Oh no! Look! The mark of Valtor! Helia: Him again! Riven: There he is! Valtor: People of Magix, I've come to offer you a peaceful solution. Timmy: We looked for him everywhere and now he just shows up! Valtor: I, Valtor, officially challenge your three eminent school directors to a duel. Valtor: If they accept, your city will be spared from total destruction! Faragonda, Griffin, and Saladin, here are my terms: If I win, you will surrender all the magic secrets that are kept in your schools! Bloom: They'll never agree to that. Valtor: Now for those who light doubt, I resolve, watch carefully! Musa: Oh my gosh, what's he gonna do now? Valtor: Watch Cloud Tower and see what I can do to all of Magix if I also choose!
 * People scream.*
 * All gasp.*

Scene: Cloud Tower
Griffin: Stop, wait! Where are you going? We must fight. If we stay together, we stand a much better chance! Mark my words, Valtor. You will pay for this! Valtor: Griffin, Faragonda, and Saladin, I will be waiting for you at Lightrock Lake and we will find our once and for all: Which one of us is the greatest?
 * Students run away, screaming.*
 * Griffin is angry.*

Scene: Downtown Magix
Layla: I have a feeling something terrible is going to happen. Riven: What do you think his next move will be, Bloom? Bloom: If the directors turn down his challenge, Valtor might go ahead and erase all of Magix, just like he did Cloud Tower. Sky: No matter what they decide to so I don't see how this whole thing could possibly have a happy ending.

Scene: At professors' meeting
Wizgiz: Miss Faragonda, as the oldest teacher on this council, I believe I speak for everybody when I say "This challenge is far too dangerous." Palladium: It could even be a trap. Wizgiz: Uh, yes. And also if something were to go wrong and fear would be without your protection. Griselda: We've already been through that once and we don't want to repeat performance. Wizgiz: And above all else, we really don't want you risking your life. Faragonda: Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate your concern for me and for the school, but my decision has been made. After all, the fate of the entire Magic Dimension is at stake. Griselda: But Miss Faragonda, do you... Faragonda: Saladin and Griffin and I have discussed it and we've come to a decision. We will face Valtor. Griselda: You mean you will be the Company of Light again? Faragonda: Yes. This definitely calls for a reunion. It's a battle we have fought before and won. If Valtor thinks he can win this time, he doesn't know what he's in for.

Scene: Alfea Central Courtyard
Bloom: Excuse me, Miss Faragonda, I... Faragonda: Bloom, it was a very long meeting and I'm very tired... Bloom: But I just need a few minutes!

Scene: Faragonda's Office
Bloom: I hope you win against Valtor and I sure don't want anything to happen to you. Faragonda: But? Bloom: But at the same time, I hope Valtor isn't destroyed. Faragonda: What? Bloom: Valtor is the only one who knows about my birth parents, Oritel and Marion. If he's destroyed any hope of ever finding out what really happened to them, we'll disappear along with him. Faragonda: Oh, I see. Bloom: Maybe you could use the magic of the Water Stars and just...you know, capture him. Faragonda: Bloom, your offer is very tempting indeed. But the Water Stars should stay here in case we don't succeed. They will be your last line of defense.
 * Bloom gasps.*

Scene: Lightrock Lake
Valtor: I was sure you'd come. Saladin: Really? Did we have a choice? Griffin: Let's cut to the chase, Valtor. Where are your partners in crime, the three witches? Valtor: The Trix won't take part in this fight. This is just between you and me. And to show you my good faith, I brought this: The Agador Box with all my powers. Should you defeat me, all the worlds in the Magic Dimension that I looted will give back what I took from them. Faragonda: Now tell us why we should believe you. Valtor: You have my word. But now, let us return to the matter at hand. First, I'll take on the weakest of you three. Saladin: What are you saying? Valtor: Those are my terms. The weakest first, the strongest last. Faragonda: But what...? If you think you can intimidate us with your cheap magic tricks, you're wrong. Valtor (Griffin): Oh, so you prefer this kind of trick? Griffin (Valtor): Now let's see how you like this. Saladin: I thought you were tougher than that, Valtor! Valtor: Oh well, look at that. They're fighting each other. My illusion spell is working perfectly. The harder they fight, the sooner they'll destroy one another.
 * Valtor makes his entrance.*
 * Smoke surrounds the teachers. Griffin becomes Valtor's illusion.*
 * He attacks Faragonda with a light ball. She then morphs into Valtor.*
 * Valtor as Griffin is tied up by Saladin.*
 * A ball of light hits Griffin in the lake. A frog jumps on her. Valtor watches the scene.*

Scene: Downtown Magix
Boy: Mommy, what's that? Mother: I have no idea, honey. Boy: Cool! A show in the sky! Man: That like rock lake. Woman: Oh my, it's the directors against Valtor.
 * The mark of Valtor is in the sky.*
 * An image of the teachers fighting also appears in the sky.*
 * People gasp.*

Scene: Red Fountain Balcony
Brandon: How can we just stand here and watch this sick show? Riven: All I want to do is jump in there and help them take down that lousy creep. Sky: There's something strange about the way Valtor is fighting.

Scene: Roof
Palladium: Saladin! Come on, get up.
 * The Winx and Palladium watch the fight.*

Scene: Lightrock Lake
Saladin: Valtor!

Scene: Roof
Griselda: What happened to Miss Faragonda? Wizgiz: How can we tell, Griselda? We never get to see the three directors together. Stella: Come on, Griffin! You can't let that lowlife win! Flora: Wait. What just happened? Where did Miss Griffin go? Layla: I don't know. Looks like Miss Faragonda just took her place. Musa: Come on, Miss Faragonda, I know you can do it! Winx: No!

Scene: Alfea Central Courtyard
Fairy #5: Hey, what's going on? Alfea's protective barrier, it's disappearing! Valtor: This is easier than I thought. As Faragonda weakens, so does the barrier around Alfea.
 * Valtor arrives at Alfea.*

Scene: Roof
Layla: Bloom, what's wrong? Are you okay? Bloom: I don't understand. There's somebody. I feel a dark presence. Stella: A presence? Where? Bloom: In the school. Somebody's broken into Alfea: Valtor! Tecna: But he's at the lake, fighting. Look. Bloom: Listen, I feel his presence through my Dragon Fire. I know he's here!
 * Valtor enters. Bloom senses something is wrong.*

Scene: Alfea Central Courtyard
Stella: Bloom, this doesn't make any sense! Bloom: Trust me, I know what I'm doing. Valtor and I are connected. I know he's around here.

Scene: Hallways
Bloom: Okay. I know I'm getting close. This way! Valtor: Soon, Alfea's most powerful spells will be all mine! Bloom: Stop right there, Valtor! Valtor: You are such a clever little fairy. Musa: Don't you go anywhere near our spells or you're gonna have to fight the six of us! Valtor: Really? You think you can stop me? Layla: Oh no, he's entering the library. Quick, we have to transform! Winx: Winx Enchantix!
 * Valtor creates a fire wall around the Winx. Layla starts coughing as she sees Valtor escaping to the library.*
 * Enchantix transformation.*

Scene: Library
Tecna: I see you're into books, Valtor. Here, enjoy. Layla: Morphix Shield! Flora: Luxuriant Ivy! Musa: Enchantix Amplifier! Stella: Sun Energy Discharge! Bloom: Dragon Fury! I'm gonna try to activate the Water Stars. The time has come. It's now or never. Stella: No, wait! Don't do it, Bloom. We don't know yet how this is going to affect you. Valtor: The Water Stars? Excellent. Flora: It's too dangerous. We can do this without them. Bloom: Flora, you know we can't. They're our only hope. Dragon Essence! Valtor: No! Flora: Bloom, are you okay? Bloom: I think so, but it felt as if they were about to destroy me. But where's Valtor? It's over, Valtor. Valtor: Bloom, if you destroy me, you also destroy your parents! Bloom: What in the world are you talking about? Valtor: They are inside me! I know you have heard of my battles against the Company of Light and your parents, Oritel and Marion. But... Bloom: Go on. Valtor: Although I was defeated, their victory cost them dearly! With my last bit of strength, I cast an absorption spell! Valtor: They are imprisoned in my body, condemned to share my fate. You destroy me, they're gone forever! *collapses* Bloom: Oh, but I don't... Layla: Valtor has disappeared! Bloom: Valtor, next time we meet, I'll be ready for you!
 * She uses her magic to make books fall on Valtor.*
 * Valtor blasts on some of the Winx fairies.*
 * Bloom starts to feel weak.*
 * Bloom gasps.*

Scene: Lightrock Lake
Faragonda: What have we done? Griffin: We've been taken in by Valtor. Saladin: All this time, we've been fighting each other!

Scene: Faragonda's Office
Faragonda: Girls, we cannot thank you enough. Griffin: Cloud Tower is lost, but you saved the rest of the Magic Dimension. Faragonda: If you hadn't broken Valtor's spell, who knows what would have become of us all at Lightrock Lake? Griffin: Hey, speak for yourself. I would've taken both you and Saladin. Faragonda: Anyway, you also managed to activate the Water Stars and save very the school's precious spells. And that calls for a reward. Bloom and Stella: Yeah!

Scene: Club
Musa: Another night out of the dance club. This is awesome! Stella: Yeah, good choice, Bloom. Bloom: Oh yeah. Last time, things didn't go so well, so I thought we should at least get another chance. Ophir: Layla. Layla: Ophir. Ophir: Listen, I would like to have another chance too. Can we, uh, talk privately? Layla: Sorry, this doesn't feel very private. Ophir: Sorry about that. But these guys won't let me out of their sight, even for a millisecond. Layla: Alright Ophir, I really think it's time you told me what is going on. Ophir: You're right. These guards didn't come to arrest me, they came to take me back home. See, I ran away and came here a little over a month ago when my parents sent them to find me. Layla, I come from Andros and my real name is Nabu. Layla: I know you come from Andros, but... Wait a minute! Nabu?! But then... Nabu: Yes, I am your fiancee. But after our parents arranged marriage, I was upset. So I rebelled and ran away. Layla: That's pretty bold of you. Nabu: I always believe that people should marry who they truly loved. I came here because I wanted to see who was that horrible person my parents have picked for me to marry. Layla: And... was she as horrible as you'd imagined? Nabu: Worse; I fell in love with her! Layla, I'm sorry I lied to you! Please forgive me. I never meant to mislead you!
 * Musa, Bloom, and Stella laugh.*

Scene: Alfea Central Courtyard
Layla: Dad, Mom. Teredor: Layla. Layla: We came to tell you that we were wrong. Niobe: We were simply following tradition you felt against your deepest convictions. Nabu's Mother: It's the same for us, Nabu and we understand that you cannot compel two people to love each other. Nabu's Father: But it looks like destiny has brought you together anyway. And I can't say I'm disappointed. Teredor: Anyhow, you two are still young and there's no need to talk about a wedding yet. Right now, you two should have fun. Layla: Oh, Daddy! Stella: Meanwhile, Ophir... or Nabu, rather. We'd like to welcome you to our club.
 * Layla and Nabu's parents arrive.*

Ending
Narrator: Faragonda suggests that Bloom has to reach the heart of Cloud Tower. The ancestor witches hide the secret of her parents, but the Trix will try to block her.
