Season 8[]

The star is mentioned for the first time in "Trapped on Prometia", as Valtor plans to attack the Submarine Star.

In "Into the Depths of Andros", Valtor continues scheming to attack the star core, sending Obscurum and some staryummies to drain its light. Queens Dorana and Liega cnverge to barricade the star for protection in the ceremony of the anniversary of the founding of Andros, though theyquickly realise it was futile as the enemies had already started their assult. The Winx transform and dive in to save the star, though are confronted by the mutant shark Valtor created. The Winx trap him in a cave to deal with the star core first, though are too late to stop them.

In "The Light Of Gorgol", The Winx engage in battle after Obscurum tries to break the core, though the misfired attacks that hit the sides of the cave they are in cause the cave to close them in, traping them whil Obscurum and th staryummies escape. Anemones start attacking the Winx, causing everyone but Aisha and Nex to faint. The couple notice Gorgol's Lumens escaping and chase after them. Thanks to the Lumens, they realise that their attacks aggrevated the situation, and what they have expereinced are natural reflexes. Aisha and Nex try to solve the problem, though fail as Aisha instead attacks the cave directly, causing Nex to get stung and faint. Aisha realises that the song the Lumens can sing are required the deactivate the safety mechanisms, and convinces the Lumens to sing it to allow the rest to be freed. The situation deescalates, though the girls still have yet to rekindle the core. Aisha comes up with an idea to surround the core with her Morphix, creating a pocket of air which will allow the Winx to go into Cosmix mode to use their special abilities to restart the core. Outside, They admire the star, which thanks them for restoring its powers.
