Winx Club: The Battle for Magix[1] is the third and penultimate Nickelodeon special of Winx Club. It has merged together episodes 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26 of Season 1, with redone animation and a new voice cast.
Synopsis
After the Trix steal Bloom's Dragon Power, the Winx set out to stop them from destroying the Magic Dimension. Daphne tells Bloom that in order to defeat the Trix, she must believe in herself and find her own Dragon Power within.
Plot
Faragonda hears Bloom out.
Bloom returns to Alfea following the events on Earth. She tells Faragonda, who already knew, about Bloom's origins. The Trix take over Cloud Tower and summon the Creatures of the Dark to take control of Magix. Knut switches sides and helps the Specialists battle against the army of the dark, but it was not enough to stop them and the Trix as they destroy Red Fountain. All the students there arrive at Alfea.
Riven makes a daring escape and jumps out of the window when Sky notices something happened to Riven. Bloom leads a small team into Cloud Tower to try and get the Dragon Flame back, helped by Stella, Sky and Brandon, and aided by Knut, who knew the way. After some mishaps they arrive at the Cloud Tower garbage dump and encounter grub roaches and their queen. But they are rescued by none other than Riven, who decided to assist them to right the wrongs he had done.
While in the tower, Bloom finds what appeared to be the Dragon Flame, only to be confronted by the Trix, who were stopped by Griffin, who not only got out of her cell thanks to Riven and Brandon, but managed to put the Trix in one of their own: a barrier followed by a granite cage. Icy is extremely cheesed off and her tantrum, combined with the release of her powers was enough to break Griffin's barrier.
Outside, Griffin develops a portal in the sky to Alfea. Sky decides to make a diversion to stop the Creatures of the Dark, so Griffin gives him a Wind Rider. Bloom volunteers to go with Sky while the witches, Stella, Brandon, Riven, and Knut escaped through the portal. Bloom and Sky were able to get rid the monsters, but some monsters shoot at the bike, causing the Wind Rider to crash into the forest.
At Alfea, Griffin, Knut, Brandon, Stella, Riven, and the witches appear. Musa, Flora, and Tecna want to know where Bloom is, but Stella informed them that she and Sky should be at Alfea now. In the forest, Bloom looks at the busted bike and decides that she and Sky should walk back. Suddenly, she hears Daphne calling her and tells Sky to go to Magix City while she goes to Lake Roccaluce.
Flora glares in anticipation.
Back at Alfea, Musa, Tecna, and Stella encourage Flora to change Mirta back from a pumpkin. Flora tries and successfully turns Mirta back. The Trix decide to take matters in their own hands and head to Alfea. At Lake Roccaluce, Bloom meets with Daphne, who tells her about how her adoptive parents raised her and loved her, as she does. She shows Bloom a crown, informing her that she is a princess, and how she did not lose the Dragon's Flame, she just has to find it. With that, Bloom summons to recover her powers, with a massive, glowing dragon around her.
When Sky gets to Magix City, it is bare, except for three monsters. He tries to fight them, but all of a sudden, Bloom shows up and takes out all three monsters. After that, Bloom and Sky head to Alfea.
Bloom carries Icy.
During the final battle, the Trix were successfully attacking, when a huge wall of fire stood in front of Alfea. It was Bloom. While Bloom took on Icy, the rest of the Winx took on Darcy and Stormy, who are overthrown. Bloom attacks Icy with a powerful blast, and the Creatures of the Dark were destroyed. Sky and Bloom both hoped to share a joyful kiss together but instead share a hug instead. Griffin decides to send the Trix to the Fortress of Light.
After the battle, a party started at Alfea to celebrate the defeat of the Trix. Bloom is thinking about how everything was and wonders what will happen next. Sky believes that they will find out.

- Knut still looked ferocious, even though he switched sides.

Script
Trivia
- The explosion that Bloom made is similar to her Believix spell Supernova, where she creates a big explosion to extinguish the fire in the burning building in Episode 10.
- In the montage of memories Bloom experiences with Daphne, the scene where the Winx resolve to help Bloom find her past is traditionally animated unlike the previous special where the scene was done with rigged animation, possibly hinting that the entire special was originally done fully in traditional animation before some parts were redone.
Mistakes
- When Faragonda and Griffin trapped Darcy and Stormy in a round structure, Bloom can be seen on the right side of the screen in Flora's place. At this point in the special, she was fighting Icy.
- When reuniting with Sky, Bloom's gloves are darker than usual.
- The time of day quickly changes between shots from day to evening after the battle.
- Sky's bangs are darker than usual in some shots.
- After dealing with Stormy and Darcy, Stella's ring disappears between shots.
