The Island of Time is the fifty-first issue of the Winx Club Comic Series.
Synopsis[]
The Winx and Specialists prepare to leave their respective schools for the holiday, but a freak accident with a spatial portal sends their ship careening to a deserted island. Musa and Brandon get injured from the crash, leaving the others to care for them as well as find a way off the island. Unfortunately, they soon find out that not only did they wind up marooned on a deserted island, but also centuries in Earth's past, and the island is a hideout for a group of pirates.
Plot[]
The storm that caused the time travel.
At Alfea, the Winx and the Specialists are taking off from its central courtyard. Stella complains that she had had enough of all the potions exercises and needed a vacation. Bloom comments that she really wants to see her parents, to which Stella asks if it is okay for everyone to go to her house, Bloom answers with a yes. Timmy announces that they are preparing for the interdimensional jump when suddenly the ship is hit by lightning while they were passing through the dimensional portal. Sky notices that the controls are damaged and that they have entered some sort of vortex. Timmy tries to maintain control of the ship but they end up crashing into the sea, hitting some rocks. The current is very strong so everyone flees towards the coast. Just as they hit land, the ship they were traveling in sinks without a trace.
Due to the impact, Musa and Brandon have been knocked unconscious, she does not appear to have any injuries but he is losing blood due to a wound. Stella is worried because the magic does not work and they do not have medicine with them. Timmy wonders where they may have landed while Sky proposes that they take Brandon and Musa inland for safety. Still worried, Stella tells Bloom that they have to do something to cure them. Bloom gets an idea, so she calls the rest of the Winx. She proposes that they use magic on the injured, to which Aisha intervenes and reminds her that magic does not work to heal wounds, but Bloom replies that it will strengthen Brandon and Musa so they can heal themselves.
The Red Fountain aircraft crashes hard onto a sea stack.
Tecna comments that she is too angry but she will try. They all transform into their Enchantix and begin to recite a spell, although Stella loses concentration and this causes the others to as well. Stella confesses that she does not see herself capable of saving Brandon, so Bloom consoles her by telling her that if she stays by Brandon's side, he will recover soon. Bloom comments that they should rest, as Tecna and Helia agree, adding that they need food and shelter, respectively. Sky proposes that they divide into teams to be more effective, so they divide the work: Flora and Helia will look for food, Tecna and Timmy will build a shelter, Sky and Riven will try to recover everything they can from the sunken ship and Aisha will be taking care of Musa, reassuring Riven. All teams start working.
Musa and Brandon are injured and unconscious!
Tecna and Timmy skirt the coast of the island, looking for materials they can use for a shelter. They both agree that it should not be too far from the beach so they can get help if they see nearby boats. Timmy comments that they should look for somewhere high, although Tecna points out that Musa and Brandon cannot move very far. Timmy draws a shelter design in the sand and when he sees the palm trees, it occurs to him that they can use them as a base, although they need tools to cut them. Meanwhile, Sky and Riven have dived to the sunken ship, although sharks lurk nearby, so they decide not to swim any further. Sky asks if he managed to salvage anything, to which Riven replies that he got the emergency radio, which should work because it was in a water-repellent bag. Sky comments that he is hungry and that he hopes Flora and Helia found food. At the same time, Flora found several coconuts and approaches Helia, who is between some rocks and shows her that he found crabs. Some time later, everyone is gathered again. Showing his survival skills, Riven manages to light a fire, where they cook what Flora and Helia caught and Timmy also takes the opportunity to completely dry out the emergency radio.
The group is able to set up camp for the night.
Bloom approaches Stella and Aisha with two fish, inviting Stella to take a bite, although she is discouraged. Bloom tries to cheer her up by commenting that Flora and Helia had to catch the fish simply with their hands. Aisha says she thinks it is fun and that next time, she will try it herself. However, Stella remains depressed and seeks support in Bloom's arms, to which she hugs her. Meanwhile, Timmy tries to turn on the radio, he succeeds, however he is surprised because he does not pick up any signal. Riven comments that Earth is a primitive planet, but that there are still radio and television signals, so they should find a signal. Bloom complains about calling Earth old-fashioned. Timmy comments that he does not understand why it is not working. Bloom fears that they will stay on the island forever, but Sky reassures her and reminds her that they must take care of Musa and Brandon until they are rescued.
The pirates end up finding the group (excluding Bloom and Stella) and take them in as prisoners.
Bloom goes to Aisha and asks how Musa is, she replies that she actually woke up a while ago, said a few words, and is now resting. Bloom is happy because that is a good sign. Riven appears and announces that she will stay by Musa's side in case she wakes up again. Bloom returns to Sky and they both go to sleep. The next day, the group splits up: Bloom, Stella, Aisha, and Riven stay with the injured, while the rest explore the island further. They find a nearby extinct volcano, managing to find fragments of obsidian thanks to Timmy, who comments that it is easy to sculpt. He then asks Flora to find some strong plant fibers, to which she leaves and returns with palm tree fibers. Helia gives him a big stick, and with all those materials, Timmy manages to build a primitive ax that will make things a little easier for them. Helia then points to a mountain noticeably larger than the others, indicating that they should go up to check if they are on an island or if they are on a continent.
Bloom and Stella save their friends and drive off the pirates.
They climb the mountain, which is actually an extinct volcano, but when they reach the top, they are disappointed to see that they are surrounded by water on all sides, it is an island. They decide to return to tell the rest of the situation and that Timmy managed to build an axe. Back on the beach, everyone helps to build a more solid shelter separate from the ground with palm tree trunks. Tecna approaches Timmy and asks him what he is doing, to which he replies that he is making new tools to finish a raft he is making, commenting that obsidian cuts wood very well. He makes a harpoon and shows it to Tecna, so they both go fishing. Timmy asks how Musa and Brandon are, but Tecna replies that Brandon still has not woken up. Suddenly, they see a ship in the distance and run to warn the others. However, it turns out to be a very old model of ship, and that gives Bloom a clue as to the era they are in, its black flag with a skull confirms it, they are in the time of pirates!
Stella finds the captain's log, which has the date and time Timmy needs to call for help!
Sky is surprised that this is possible, but Timmy intervenes and explains that they have probably traveled back in time and that is why the radio does not pick up any signals, because there is not one yet. He adds that the lightning bolt that hit the ship probably gave them enough energy to go back in time when they were passing through the interdimensional portal. The group watches the pirates disembark a boat and hide a chest in a nearby grotto. Sky takes the opportunity to warn everyone that they must return to the camp and notify those who are there. Once everyone is gathered and knowing the news, Stella begins to panic, believing that the pirates are going to find them and Brandon has not even woken up yet. Timmy comments that without the date, he would waste the radio batteries uselessly, but Stella remains stressed and flees into the jungle. Bloom goes after her and manages to comfort her and convince her to return to camp. At the same time, the pirates have discovered the footprints the group left in the sand, so they understand that they are not the only ones on the island.
Just as Bloom and Stella were returning, they hear a gunshot, so they hide in the vegetation. The pirates have surrounded the others, threatening them with guns. Sky tries to convince them that they were simply shipwrecked and Flora asks them not to scream because Brandon is sick. Stella wants to intervene but Bloom convinces her to come up with a plan first. Once they have left for the ship, Bloom and Stella transform into their Enchantix and swim towards the ship, spying through a window unseen by the pirates, seeing their gagged friends. Stella comments that if they break in, the pirates will probably attack their friends because they are too close to the guards, but Bloom replies that she has an idea for a distraction. Bloom uses her Dragon Flame powers to attract a sea creature, and so, as the pirates attack the beast, Stella bursts through the window, reuniting with Brandon and freeing all of their friends.
The group is rescued!
Suddenly, one of the pirates appears at the door of the cell, but Stella attacks him and sends him against the rudder, which breaks and this leaves the ship out of control, cornered against some rocks. The captain sees the sea creature submerge and believes it is going to attack again, so he orders his men to untie the lifeboats and all the pirates flee the ship. Stella hugs Brandon, very happy, and comments that if the pirates appear again, she will be able to face them because she has recovered all her energy. He also adds that they can stay on the ship because it is solid and will not sink, and they will be able to hold out with the pirates' supplies until help arrives. Afterwards, she gives Timmy the emergency radio she recovered from the island. Timmy says that it is no longer useful, but Stella assures him that, in fact, it is, because she has found the captain's logbook, where he can read the exact date! They can finally go back home!
Some time later, one of Red Fountain's shuttles appears and rescues everyone. Stella comments that, although the pirates have a lot of money, they will not be able to spend it on purchases and that is a real torture. Everyone laughs as they go back to Magix.
