Winx Club - Episode 104

Scene: Palladium's Class
Palladium: So, as I was saying, today's exercise will be rather difficult. Francine: Professor Palladium, a mosquito just bit me! Palladium: Well, we are in a swamp, and it's just a mosquito. It's no big deal. Francine: But look where it got me! Palladium: Oh my! From- Well, um... what I meant was... uh... T-to be shorts and to uh eh... the point... Bloom: Poor professor. They shouldn't give him such a hard time. Stella: If he were more confident, he'd get more respect. Palladium: A good fairy should be able to listen to what nature tells us. Today's exercise is designed to put your abilities to the test. You've all been put into groups, so we're ready to begin. You have three hours to get out of Black Mud Swamp and reach the clearing in the middle of Gloomy Wood Forest, without using magic. Remember, listen carefully to the voice of nature, and follow its advice. Stella: This place is... ew... totally disgusting. Musa: Oh, yes, dear. All this mud is so very inconvenient. Tecna: I don't know if you realize it, but we're knee-deep in what I would refer to as a problematic mud puddle. All right, you guys, take cover! I'll handle it. Bloom: No, Tecna, don't! We have to listen to nature. I smell something, what is it? Stella: He said listen, not smell. Stella: Smells like... Musa: Smells like gas! Let's get out of here. Bloom: Let's see... Bloom: A single spark and we'd have been toast, my friend. Flora: Oh, yes, we took a big risk! Stella: Especially you, Tecna. I would've sent you my dressmaker's bill.
 * She lifts one side of her shorts. Palladium, obviously nervous, backs away and stutters.*
 * The students laugh at Palladium. *

 * Bloom throws the stick and pops a gas bubble. A cloud of gas shoots up, followed by several more bubbles popping and releasing more of the gas.*
 * The girls all laugh.*

Scene: Trix's Dorm Room
*The Trix's teleport into their rooms.* Trix: Ugh! Stormy: Free at last! I really can't stand Zarathustra's lessons! Darcy: Knut, you stupid ogre, where are you?! Knut: I'm in here! Darcy: Urgh... Knut: Uh, can I come out now? My-my foot is asleep. Icy: Let him out Darcy. Darcy: What a stench!!! Knut: Guess I shouldn't have eaten those beans... Darcy: Never mind the beans Knut, you always smell bad!! Stormy: Gotta find him a better hiding place with better ventilation. Darcy: You gotta be more careful Knut! No body must know that you're here! Icy: School regulations are clear when it comes to beasts, animals or other pets. Pepe: Quack! Mommy! Mommy! Icy: As I was saying... Icy: We've gotta be more careful. We already broke one rule today by making ourselves invisible to skip a class. Stormy: But we're witches aren't we? We're suppose to break rules! Icy: Urgh! (To Knut) Now you, did you just forget to use telepathy to send your message or did you want everybody to know about it?! Knut: Forgive me my highness but I had an urgent message and uh I was hiding in the Red Fountain school, just like you told me to you know and... Darcy: And?? Knut: And I heard that the specialists will be bringing my hunting troll to Magix today to be turned over to the police. And then he'll be sent to the Subtombmian Prison! Icy: What a useless beast! He couldn't even manage to take Stella's scepter! Urgh!! Stormy: Talk about useless! He got caught out of the house of Bloom, an earthling, and if they question him he'll spill the beans, he'll tell all about us and we'll be in trouble! Icy: Relax Stormy! Here's a way out of this: we will free the troll, we'll take advantage of his little trip to Magix to get rid of him, forever.
 * The closet doors starts to move and Darcy notices. She grunts and walks over to it.*

Scene: Atmospheric Portion of the Swamp
*The troll inside the cell of a Red Fountain aircraft, grunts. Riven maneuvers the aircraft.* Brandon (Sky): You know Sky, I have a strange feeling as something is about to happen. Sky (Brandon): Something fun or something bad? Brandon (Sky): I don't know... Something. Riven: Relax you guys, as you can see I have complete control of this aircraft. Sky (Brandon): Oh yeah? Riven: You bet, and don't you ever forget to call me captain. How's it going back there? Timmy: All right,the prisoner is calm. Timmy: Oops, maybe I spoke too soon. Brandon (Sky): What was that?! Sky (Brandon): It's coming from outside, something is out there. Riven: What are you talking about? That's impossible, the sensors don't pick up anything! Bloom: Look! A Red Fountain Aircraft! Stella: Let's go see! Bloom: Hurry, they might need help!
 * The ship gets hit*
 * The ship gets hit again and starts to plummet onto the ground of the swamp. The Winx notices the falling aircraft.*

Scene: The Aircraft's Crash Landing Spot
*The girls run to the location and Riven is scratching his head in pain.* Flora: You guys okay? Riven: Isn't it rather obvious? Sky (Brandon): We're all safe and sound, thanks. (gasps) Sky (Brandon): Ooh no!! Where's the troll?! Brandon: He's escaped! All Alfea Students: (gasps in terror) A troll?! Tecna: You were transporting a troll and you guys let him escape?! Riven: We didn't let anyone escape. There was an accident. We lost altitude and... Timmy: Mechanical failure! Riven: Anyhow, there's nothing to worry about he's handcuffed. Sky (Brandon): Ooohh... Uh, Riven! Look what I found in the slug! Winx: Oh no! Brandon (Sky): What are you guys doing around here? Bloom: We're in the middle of an assignment Brandon. Riven: Then get back to your assignment and don't worry about a thing, leave it to the Specialists! Stella: (In a joking tone) The Specialists are gonna be here? When? Riven: We're right here you silly little girl! Sky (Brandon): What Riven means is is that perhaps it would be best for you to go back to Alfea while we try to capture that animal. Riven: We don't need your editorial comments, (mockingly) your highness... Amaryl: And we don't need to be told what to do! We will take care of this on our own! Riven: You do what you got to do, don't ever say we didn't warn you! Now, come on guys let's get to work we got a troll to capture! Bloom: Now what do we do? Stella: Maybe we should go with the guys and help them find the troll. Flora: No I don't think that's a good idea. I say we get back to the assignment we were given. Stella: We all know that troll, he's a wild beast. Sky and the others could be in for mega problems. Flora: 'Kay, if you all think so... Tecna: Well, one thing's for sure - something strange is going on here. Have you notice the hole in the fuselage, the aircraft is hit in flight. Flora: So, I guess someone... helped him escape! Tecna: I'm afraid you're right. Flora: In that case, we don't have that much choice do we?
 * Musa sees Riven and appears to be infatuated by him. Riven looks at her intensely too and she giggles.*
 * Sky (Brandon) sees the large gaping hole on the aircraft.*
 * All gasps.*

 * The Specialists walk towards their fallen ship.*

Scene: Near Fallen Aircraft
*Timmy tries to rewire the ship.* Tecna: The impact knocked out the stabilizer! Musa: And whoever did that must have done that with the handcuffs too! Tecna: It's a physic lock, to be able to open it you need mental powers. Bloom: Hey girls, check this out! The trolls footprints! Notice anything? Stella: Oh yeah, that guy's got feet the size of an ocean liner! Musa: Huge feet that leave no prints! See, they become less and less visible and then they totally disappear! Flora: But the ground's still soft. How do you explain that? Stella: It's as if the troll was on an ultra sonic weight lost plan! Musa: It's as if the troll found a way to gradually achieve a state of weightlessness! Flora: Well this sounds a bit like a flying spell! Tecna: Yeah but trolls can't cast spells! Bloom: So that means someone helped him. Let's tread carefully, who knows what's in this swamp... Come on girls. Tecna: Finding a troll in a swamp turned out a lot harder than I thought. Flora: He could be absolutely anywhere! Musa: The silence is eerie... The swamps absorb every sound. Bloom: It's a good thing, the silence helps us focus! Flora: So we can listen to the voice of nature! Tecna: Not that again! I don't hear anything! Bloom: Huh? Oh... Tecna: So? Did mother nature suggest anything to you anything? Bloom: I'd start over there. Stella: (Looking a little unsure) Why? What's there? Bloom: I'm not keen on going by myself but... I really feel that it's the right way! Flora: Yeah, I feel it too! It is the right path! Bloom: Come on, this way! Tecna: I just hope we don't regret this...

Scene: Somewhere around the swamp
Riven: Hey, these branches are alive! (Struggling.) Timmy: That's impossible Riven! No form of animal life can survive here! Sky (Brandon): And why not?? Timmy: There's nothing animals can eat here. Brandon (Sky): (Struggling) Are you sure about that?! Timmy: Positive! But I'm beginning to have some serious doubts! Timmy: Uh oh. HEEEEELLLLPPPP!!! Flora: Don't make any noise. I recognize these plants. They're Quietous Carnivorous, they hate noise. Stella: Really? I find it hard to believe. Stella: See? Nothing's happened! Duh ahhh!!! Bloom: (In a whisper) Shh! Don't move! Flora: (In a quiet voice) Dear, oh dear, will keep your mouth shut from now on?? Timmy: HEEELLPP!! Sky (Brandon): Stop yelling Timmy! I can't think straight! Stella: (In a whisper) Ah, there you are! Riven: (In a normal tone) Keep whispering by all means you would want to upset the digestive process of these plants. Uuurgh!! Musa: (In a whisper) Keep your voice down you dummy! Flora: Everything's okay little plants, you can relax!

 * Girls arrive where the Specialists are tied up.
 * The plants strangle Riven even harder.*
 * Flora calms down the plants again. and they release the Specialists.*

Scene: Outside the Deeper Part of the Swamp
*The group walks away from the plants.* Brandon (Sky): (In a whisper) Um, I'm really glad to see you again Bloom! Stella: Ahem! You can speak normally now, we're out of danger! Bloom: I think we should all look for the troll together at this point. What do you guys say? Flora: Well, I'm okay with it! Riven: I refuse to team up with fairies. Sky (Brandon): You're on your own then buddy. Sky (Brandon): And if you find the troll just give us a shout. Riven: Hmph!
 * Riven pouts.*

Scene: Near a Muddy Pond
*Sky (Brandon) jumps onto a small slab of earth. Timmy tries to as well but misses and falls into it. Everyone laughs except Riven.* Riven: First, we've got fairies to look after and now we've got clumsy Timmy as well! Brandon (Sky): Grr... Riven, you've gone to far! Riven: You're just Prince Sky's yes-man Brandon. Why don't you go clean up his uh... stables? Brandon (Sky): You're insulting Riven. Riven: (Scoffs) So? What are you gonna do about it? Sky (Brandon): You're off the team buddy! Is that clear? Riven: Alright... Let's go find that troll... Timmy: That one looks good! Tecna: Thanks! Musa and Stella: Whoooa..! Stella: I-I know this might sound crazy but I think these clumps of turf a-are moving! Bloom: I was thinking the exact same thing! Tecna: You can all stop thinking now 'cause these clumps of turf are moving for real! Everyone: WHOOAA!! Musa: Ugh! W-w-what's going?! Brandon (Sky): Well, it's a whorl pool. We've gotta get out of here, now! Stella: Oh! Thanks Sky...! Brandon (Sky): Careful not to fall in the water, okay guys? We get trapped in the whorl pool! Brandon (Sky): Riven!! Tecna: Gotcha! Tecna: Hold on Riven! Riven: Don't let go off me!! Timmy: Someone help me! I can't hang on much longer!! Riven: Come on guys, let's go... We've got a troll to catch... We've lost too much time already... Timmy and Brandon (Sky): Huh?
 * Sky (Brandon) helps Timmy off the muddy pond.*

 * Tecna grabs onto Riven's hands and start to pull.*
 * The whorl pool starts to pull Riven in and Tecna struggles to pull Riven up and is dragged into it but thankfully Timmy grabs her by her feet.*
 * Bloom and Brandon (Sky) comes to help Timmy and they successfully pull them in.*

Scene: Near the Troll
Riven: Huh? Sky (Brandon): We found him!! Someone: (Screaming) HELP!! OOH!! Bloom: (Gasps) That's Amaryl! Sky (Brandon): The fairies of Alfea are in danger! Bloom: The girls are trapped! We've got to do something before the troll starts making trouble! Sky (Brandon): We've got to be quick and to the point! Number one: find a way to distract the troll! Winx: Oh! Stella: I hope your plan also has a number two! Sky (Brandon): Of course! Brandon and Timmy will grab a hold of him, then Riven and I will slip the handcuffs on him. Any complaints? Sky (Brandon): Alright then, let's do it! Bloom: Hey you, big bully! Remember us? Stella: Come and get us doo-doo head, come on! Timmy and Brandon (Sky): Yah! Sky (Brandon): Come on, quick! What are you waiting for?! Cuff him!! Riven: Easier said than done! Timmy: Hurry up you guys! I-I can't hold on. Brandon: Great, we lost him again! What a good job we did... Amaryl: So you guys are the Specialists huh? Specialists in what? Botchery? Sky (Brandon): That's the thanks we get?
 * Everyone looks surprised.*
 * Everyone runs toward the sound.*
 * Bloom pulls away the pushes and sees Amaryl's group and the troll.*

Scene: Sitting on a Fallen Tree Trunk
*Bloom walks over to Brandon (Sky) and sits down next to him.* Bloom: Brandon? Brandon (Sky): Oh hi, it's you. Bloom: You know, even if you lost the troll again what you did back there was very nice. Brandon (Sky): That's nice of you to say Bloom, but you know it's not true. Bloom: You guys saved those ungrateful fairies from the troll... Brandon (Sky): Bloom, your friends weren't really far off the mark you know. We're not Specialists, we're a bunch of rookies. Bloom: But... Brandon (Sky): The only thing we do really well together is... argue.
 * Bloom giggles a bit and smiles.*

Scene: Back With the Others
Riven: Don't try to blame me Sky! I'm not the one who handcuffed Timmy! Sky (Brandon): What?! You had the handcuffs! Riven: Who?! ME?! Timmy: Alright! That's enough! If we can't work as a Timmy we'll never be able to catch the troll! Sky (Brandon): You're right, we gotta work together if not we're never gonna succeed. Should we try again? Riven: Hahaha! Alright! Sky (Brandon): Gotcha. Sky (Brandon): Riven and I have called a truce. Brandon (Sky): I'd would've prefer ever lasting peace but I can live with that.
 * Bloom and Brandon (Sky) walk back to the group as Sky (Brandon) and Riven shake hands in agreement.*

Scene: In a Dark Part of the Swamp
Stormy: I knew it! I knew it! Icy: You gotta learn to chill out Stormy. Everything is under control alright? Darcy: But he could be lost! Icy: Impossible! When a troll picks up a scent he never loses it! Darcy: Maybe he got stuck in the quicksands! Stormy: But our anti-gravity spell, that would have kept him from sinking! Icy: What if that made him lose the scent but then again, I never hatched a plan that's not perfect. Pepe: Mommy! Mommy! Icy: What?! Pepe: Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Icy: Wretched creature! Icy: Huh? Well, well looks who's here! Stormy: At last. You made it. We gave you freedom and you did as you were told and now you must return to Oblivion. Icy: Goodbye troll, our secret vanishes with you! Troll: Huh?! Stormy: Mission accomplished. Icy: Now, let's go back to Cloud Tower. Brandon (Sky): And now what do you hear? Bloom: It's not a sound, more like a feeling. Flora: It's something you can't hear with your ears, you feel it inside. Sky (Brandon): Well then, you think this should be the right path? Tecna: Relax, I've learned that in these situations Bloom can't be beaten! Bloom: We've reached the end of road. Sky (Brandon): But there's no one here. Bloom: I don't know what to say, I sense nothing! Stella: There's negative energy in this part of the swamp. Tecna: I feel it too! As if someone cast a spell here! Sky (Brandon): Someone used a spell to make the troll disappear? Musa: First, they help him escape, then they help him in the swamp and make him disappear! Brandon (Sky): But who would want to do something like that? Tecna: What's that in your hand there Bloom? Bloom: I'm not sure. I maybe wrong but these feathers look familiar. Ring a bell? Musa: Icy's duck! Flora: And what does she have to do with this story? Bloom: I haven't got a clue but I'd really like to know.

Brandon (Sky): Well if you guys don't mind, we'll stay here and wish you goodbye. Bloom: Don't worry about it, we totally understand! Bloom: Bye! Stella: See ya! Palladium: I watched you during today's exercise and even though you came in last I'm really satisfied with your work. Winx: What?! Palladium: You've shown courage, initiative and generosity, as well excellent decision making abilities. So in the light of the outcome of this exercise I'd like to say that it was just a test run. Amaryl: No fair! We did all that for nothing?! Palladium: I wouldn't say for nothing Miss Amaryl. Some of you learned a lot today.
 * The Winx look at their class.*
 * Aircraft leaves.*

Scene: Red Fountain
*The specialists' aircraft is being repaired.* Sky (Brandon): This mission was a complete failure... Timmy: It's true, we did lose the troll... Sky (Brandon: But it was a great experience anyway! Timmy: It's true Prince Sky! For the first time in my life I felt like I was part of some kind of group! Brandon (Sky): Well then, you know what I say? A real team of specialists was born today! Sky (Brandon: I agree and guys, please do me one favor and stop calling me "prince", it makes me feel old!
 * They all laugh.*

Scene: Alfea
*Bloom opens the door to Stella's room.* Bloom: (whispers) Stella, you awake? Stella: Yeah... Bloom: Everything okay? Stella: Yes, Bloom... Goodnight... Bloom: Night Stella... Stella: (sighs wistfully) Goodnight Sky...
 * Bloom closes the door halfway.*
 * Bloom while smiling softly, closes the door completely.*

Scene: Black-Mud Swamp
Palladium: Welcome class, to Black Mud Swamp, and to... to...AH-CHOO! R-r-right, as you can sneeze, I mean, as you can see, I'm slightly allergic to the sap from the Igglethord vine. Now, this is your first field exercise for the Magic of Nature. Fairy student: I'm in the wrong class, I'm from an urban realm. Palladium: A well-rounded education is what Alfea is all about, Dhalia. Dhalia: But a keekbug bit me. Palladium: Ahh, keekbug?! Well the quicker we bit on with, ah, I mean get on with the exomite, I mean exercise- Bloom: For a nature professor he's pretty squeemish isn't he? Stella: There's a word for that. It's like irony. Palladium: Now, this field exercise is designed to test your natural ability to listen to the always present voice of nature. Each group must navigate through Black Mud Swamp and find the crystal clearing, and here's the catch, you may not use any magic. Only the Voice of Nature will be your guide, and remember, it's not enough to hear the voice, you must listen to it as well. Amaryl: But professor. Flora: No reason to stand around and gab, let's start looking. Stella: Ohh, this place is... EW! Something's crawling up my leg! Musa: What happened to 'Mud does such wonders for my complexion' ? Tecna: Just so you know, these bubbles could indicate that we're standing on the back of a subterrainian sludge slug. They're not friendly, but don't worry, I'll take care of it. A standby spell ought to do the trick. Bloom: Tecna don't! We can't use our magic. We gotta listen to nature. Just use your senses. Stella: Smells like old socks. (Sniff) Or like a... Musa: It's some kinda gas! Let's bounce! Flora: Take cover! Stella: So, what is it? Bloom: Let's find out! (throws a log) Get down everybody! Flora: It's Medusa Gas. That stuff would've turned us to stone. Tecna: I guess my information was incorrect. Bloom: It's okay, Tecna. We just gotta be careful. Flora: That tree turned to stone. Look at it. Stella: Turned to stone? Talk about being Statuesque.
 * Dhalia lifts the right side of her shorts and shows Palladium where the bug bit her.
 * Palladium disappears. B, S, F, M and T form a group.
 * The group starts walking and get in the swamp water.
 * The girls sniff in the area.
 * The girls hide behind a fallen tree.
 * The log bursts the bubble and the gas is released.
 * All the girls laugh.

Scene: The Trix's Dorm

 * The Trix teleport into their dorm.

Stormy: Ugh, we're finally out. Foulwarp class is totally lame.

Darcy: Where's that stupid ogre? His text message said he'd be here.

Knut: I'm in here.


 * Darcy notices and complains.

Knut: Can I come out now? My foot's asleep and I got an itch I can't scratch.

Icy: D, let him out.

Darcy: Huh? Ugh, he's rank.

Knut: There's no ventilation in here.

Darcy: Why does he have to stay in there? He is stinking up my wardrobe.

Stormy: We have to hide him somewhere. What if the R.A. comes knocking?

Darcy: If he doesn't do something about his O.B.O., the whole school will know he's here.

Icy: Just be a dear Knut and find a way to clean yourself so that we can-- ah, what?


 * Hears quacks

Stormy: That duck again.

Pepe: Mommy, mommy.

Icy: Why me?

Darcy: At least ducks don't reek.

Icy: We must be careful ladies, we break enough rules as it is: skipping class, sneaking out, breaking into Alfea.

Stormy: Yeah but, please, we do it for the greater evil.

Icy: True. Now you, what's so urgent that you couldn't stick it in the text message? We have important things to do.

Knut: Well, I was snooping around Red Fountain School, just like you told me and I was hiding in a bathroom or was it a closet. Uhhh.

Darcy: Knut.

Knut: I heard someone say that a team of specialists were bringing my Hunting Troll to Magix today, and they were gonna give him to the authorities.

Icy: And do we care? NO! Tell me that's not your news cause if it is, GRRR!

Stormy: Hold on though. What if the interrogation sorcerers get a hold of him and use a mind read spell? Even with his little pea-brain they'll find out about our plan.

Icy: Point taken. In that case, We'll just have to stage a little jail break, free the troll and then get rid of the sorry beast, forever.

Scene: Above Black-Mud Swamp

 * Riven is maneuvering the aircraft.

Riven: WOO HOO! Our first solo assignment!

Sky (As Brandon): Come on Riven, easy on the flips.

Riven: Next time, don't eat right before the flight.

Brandon (as Sky): Yo, someone go check on the troll.

Timmy: I'm on it Sky.

Brandon: Isn't that the Black-Mud Swamp down there? Are we sure we're going the right way?

Sky: Yup, Magix is North of here.

Brandon: Something doesn't feel right.

Riven: You worry too much Brandon. Everything's under control. Trust the captain.

Sky: Captain?

Riven: Let's see how fast this baby can go.


 * The Ship speeds up. Timmy returns.

Timmy: I'm back.

Riven: How's our "big boy" doing?

Timmy: He's a little cranky, but I'm sure he's-


 * The ship gets hit.

Timmy: Keep your eye on the sky Riven!

Brandon: What was that?

Sky: Don't know, but it came from outside the ship.

Riven: That's impossible. If you knew how to operate this thing you'd know there's nothing on the sensors.


 * The ship gets hit again and the heroes scream, the girls notice the ship going down.

Scene: Ground Level of Black-Mud Swamp
Bloom: Check it out! A Red Fountain Craft!


 * Pan the craft. Craft is panned again for the second time.


 * The girls rush to the scene.

Bloom: Hurry, they might need help!


 * The boys get out of the crash.

Timmy: Everyone get out okay?

Stella: Look who it is.

Flora: You guys okay?

Tecna: We saw your plane crash.

Riven: It wasn't a crash. It was more like an emergency landing.


 * Love at first sight for Musa.

Stella: What happened? Pilot's Ed get a little out of control?

Sky: Actually we were transporting a huh-

Brandon: Transporting a very uh important package to a location uh-

Sky: The troll got away!

Brandon: Ah! Prince Sky!

Stella: You guys let a troll escape?

Bloom: The troll got away?


 * Other girls mumble stuff.

Riven: We didn't let anything escape. We had an accident, the ship malfunctioned.

Timmy: Mechanical failure.

Riven: But, we got him in Adle Shackles so it's fine.

Brandon: Exactly, they slow you down like a tranquilizer. He won't get very far.

Sky: Actually guys it looks like the shackles came loose. Look.

The girls: They came loose?

Brandon: What're you guys doing here anyway?

Bloom: A field exercise for Nature class.

Riven: So then get back to your little exercise girls and leave this problem to the specialists.

Stella: When are the specialists gonna get here?

Musa: Aw snap!


 * Stella giggles.

Riven: Listen you privileged little princess!

Sky: What Riven wants to say is that it might be best if you guys just leave the troll to us and go back to your class assignment.

Riven: I can tell her to bug off myself.

Tecna: But what if the troll runs into the other girls from our class?

Riven: Just stay out of our way so we can take care of it, you got it? Come on guys, let's go. Let's not waste any more time here.

Bloom: Maybe we should go along with them.

Stella: You mean after the crummy 'tude Riven just gave us?

Flora: Yeah, he was rude. I say we get back to our assignment, and let Riven deal with it.

Stella: Flora's right Bloom. If Riven wants to get eaten, I say "Bon Appetit" right?

Flora: That's not quite what I said but-

Tecna: Something's strange here. Did you guys notice the hole in the ship? The patterns of the burnt marking surrounding the perimeter, indicate that the hole was created by a blast from outside the ship while it was still in flight.

Flora: So, you mean someone, shot down the ship?

Tecna: Yes it looks that way.

Flora: If that's so, I guess we should investigate.

Musa: If I ever say "Hey let's go hang out in a swamp." remind me that I really hate swamps.

Bloom: Wait a minute, the troll's footprints. Notice anything?

Flora: What about them?

Stella: Yeah, I notice something, they're like a size thirty.

Bloom: They get less and less deep as they go.

Stella: Poor thing. He must have the hardest time shopping for shoes.

Musa: They totally disappear up ahead. He like found a way to levi-walk so he could shake up our follow, you know?

Flora: The troll, must have cast a spell.

Tecna: Except trolls can't do that.

Bloom: Which means someone else is in the swamp.

Tecna: Someone who might be watching us.

Flora: How can we found him without the footprints?

Musa: Yeah, we can't just call out "Here Trolly, trolly, trolly."

Bloom: Maybe the Voice of Nature can give us a clue.

Flora: That's right. The Voice of Nature.

Tecna: What do you mean voice? I can't hear a thing.


 * They all listen.

Tecna: Well? Did Mother Nature give you any advice?

Bloom: He went that way, through the thicket.

Stella: Are you sure about that?

Bloom: I know it looks all creepy over there but, something's telling me that's the right way.

Flora: Yeah, I feel it too. I'm getting a strong vibe.

Bloom: Come on, let's go.

Musa: Ugh.

Scene: Deeper Into the Swamp
Tecna: Yoo hoo, nature. I'm listening.

Riven: Get off me you stupid vine! Go drink some water!

Timmy: Something tell me these plants don't just survive on water alone.

Sky: And why's that?

Timmy: Because I think they're trying to eat us!


 * The guys start worrying.

Brandon: So what do we do? Any idea?

Timmy: I, I think we should just try to stay calm and (sees the vine creeping up) HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!

The girls travel through the thicket.

Flora: Be very quiet. I recognize these plants. Quietous Carnivorus. They hate noise.

Stella: Really? No. Let's see. (Whistles loudly.) See? Nothing happened.


 * A vine grabs Stella, Stella screams, hangs upside-down and screams at the top of her lungs.

Bloom: Stop screaming Stella.


 * Flora communicates with the plants and they sense they will be quiet. The plant lets go of Stella and she lands in the muck.

Flora: I told you. No sudden noise, okay?

Timmy: (in the distance) HEEEEEELP!

Sky: Man it's gonna be so embarrassing if someone finds us like this.


 * The girls arrive and find the guys.

Stella: Need a hand?

Riven: Stay away. These vines belong to incredibly dangerous, blood-thirsty, man-eating, monster (plant squeezes Riven) Plants!

Musa: They only eat loud-mouths so you should pipe down.

Flora: Everything's okay little plants. Just relax.


 * The plants let go of the guys.

Bloom: Quick, let's get away from these things.


 * The groups get away from the plants.

Scene: Out of the Deep Part of the Swamp
Brandon:  (whispers) Hey, it's good to see you again Bloom.

Stella: Hellooo. No need to whisper anymore, we got away, remember?

Bloom: I think we should all look for the troll together from now on. Safety in numbers and all.

Flora: Sounds good to me.

Sky: Me too.

Riven: No way I'm teaming up with these girls.

Sky: You're on your own then buddy. (Riven grunts) And if you find the troll, just give us a shout.

Tecna: We'll have to hop our way across.

Timmy: Be careful Tecna.

Tecna: Thanks.


 * Tecna jumps on a rock.

Tecna: Come on guys, it's fun.


 * Musa and Stella jump too.

Flora: My Clumpaturf is wobbly.

Stella: Mine too.

Bloom: Same here. They're really unsteady.

Tecna: I believe the key to this whole enterprise is that you must keep moving. You must not stay still.

Stella: All right.


 * The Winx and Specialists jump from one Clumpaturf to the other. Stella falls but is caught by Sky.

Stella: Oh, thank you.

Brandon: Hey, there's no Clumpaturfs nearby. I guess this calls for a double-jump.


 * Brandon takes a huge leap to the next Clumpaturf.

Musa: Nice one.


 * Everyone jumps from one to the other smoothly but Riven misses his jump. Brandon notices.

Brandon: No.


 * Tecna grabs Riven.

Tecna: Gotcha. Hold on Riven.

Riven: Don't let go of me.

Stella: She's slipping.


 * Tecna nearly falls in but Timmy grabs her by the ankles.

Timmy: Gotcha! Don't worry. Ngh, I'll get you outta here Tecna.


 * Brandon and Bloom help pull.

Stella: Heave! Heave!


 * Timmy, Tecna and Riven are pulled in.

Stella: Bet you're glad you teamed up with us girls now, aren't you Riven.

Riven: Yeah, whatever. I would've gotten out. (brushes off) Come on, get up. Let's go already.


 * Timmy and Brandon sigh.


 * The Winx and heroes keep looking. A roar is heard.

Sky: That's our boy.


 * The Winx and heroes hurry. They hear screaming.

Bloom: That's Amaryl!

Sky: Don't worry, we'll get her outta there.


 * Bloom clears the bushes.

Bloom: They're trapped!

Scene: Near Amaryl's Group

 * Bloom clears the bushes.

Bloom: That's the same troll who was working with Knut. We've gotta do something before he turns those girls into fairy dust.

Sky: All right everybody. I got a plan. Phase one: the girls distract the troll.

All girls: Huh?

Stella: I hope "The troll eats the girls" isn't phase two.

Sky: No way, cause Brandon and Timmy'll pin him down, then Riven and I jump in and slip the shackles on him.

Tecna: Sounds like a ... plan.

Sky: All right then, let's go!


 * The girls go to help the other group. The girls in the other group scream.

Bloom: Hey there, um, big guy. Remember us?

Stella: Long time no see.


 * The troll roars.

Stella: Well, don't be a stranger. Get over here and pass out hugs.


 * The troll charges, but Brandon and Timmy pin it down as planned. The troll falls into the mud.

Sky: Come on, quick. (Struggles) Hurry, put the- whoa!


 * The heroes try but they can't get the shackles on. The troll grabs Riven.

Riven: (with mouth covered) Someone, help! He's got my face.

Timmy: Hurry up you guys! (struggles) I can't hold him!


 * The troll overpowers the specialists and runs.

Stella: He's getting away.


 * Bloom is surprised.

Brandon: Hey Timmy, you okay? At least we know these shackles still work.

Amaryl: I thought you guys went to school for Bravery not Botchery.


 * Sky and Riven are ashamed.

Fairy Student: Later losers.


 * The group runs off.

Sky: That's the thanks we get?

Scene: After An Unsuccessful Attempt to Capture the Troll

 * The troll runs deeper into the swamp. It then catches the scent of something and runs towards it.


 * Bloom notices Brandon is down in the dumps.

Bloom: Hey you.


 * Bloom sits next to Brandon.

Brandon: Bloom, what's up?

Bloom: Don't let what those jerks said get you down. What you did back there was very brave.

Brandon: Brave or not, the troll still got away.

Bloom: You did what you could. Troll-rangling is very difficult.

Brandon: Yeah, but we're sophomores and we should've been able to handle it. This was our first real assignment and we messed it up.

Bloom: But, hmmm.

Brandon: Seems like the only thing we can do as a team, is argue.

Bloom: Hey maybe if the guys, uh.

Riven: What?! Don't point the finger at me Sky! I'm not the one who shackled Timmy!

Sky: Bro! You had the shackles!

Riven: ME?!

Timmy: Knock it off you two! We all messed up, together! Can you at least agree on that?!

Riven: But...

Sky: Timmy's right. And we should at least agree to that point you guys. Don't you agree?

Riven: Ha ha ha. I agree.

Sky: That's good.

Timmy: (giggles) Now shake hands.


 * Sky and Riven shake hands.

Timmy: Well done guys.

Sky: No hard feelings bro. (Brandon arrives.) Riven and I have called a truce.

Brandon: I preferred everlasting peace but I guess a truce is a good start.

Riven: Let's go. We got a troll to catch.

Scene: In An Inconspicuous Part of the Swamp

 * The Trix are in the swamp.

Stormy: This is taking too long.

Icy: Stormy, don't flip out. That empty headed brute will be here any minute now.

Darcy: Yeah Stormy, chill.

Icy: Our lovely "Fume de Doom" perfume is sure to draw him here.

Darcy: It's allure is irresistible.

Stormy: Our scent is sublime, but what if he got stuck in the sinkslime?

Icy: And he does like to roar. The Quietus Carnivorus could've gotten him. Hmm. (Hears Pepe calling Mommy) What?!

Darcy: You again?

Stormy: Sooo cute.

Icy: I despise cute. (Freezes Pepe) That oughta keep it quiet.


 * The Trix hear the troll roar.

Darcy: Huh?

Icy: See witches, I'd knew he'd be here.


 * The troll sniffs the air.

Troll: Me like smell.

Stormy: Be quiet, and listen up. They were taking you to Magix to be interrogated, but, see, unfortunately for you, we can't let that happen.

Icy: That's right. Our secret has to vanish.

Darcy: And so do you. Have fun in Limbo.


 * The Trix send the troll to another dimension.

Stormy: That settles that.

Icy: Let's get back to Cloud Tower.


 * The Trix teleport.

Scene: In Deeper Part of Swamp

 * The boys and girls follow the troll's trail.

Brandon: What do you hear now Bloom?

Bloom: Well, it's not really a sound.

Flora: Yeah Brandon, the Voice of Nature is something that you feel inside.

Sky: Ha, well I've been tryin' but I can't feel anything at all.

Tecna: I can't hear this Voice of Nature either. I'm from a wired realm, but believe me we can trust Bloom and Flora on this.


 * The boys and girls arrive.

Riven: What?

Bloom: The feeling stops here.

Sky: So where's the troll?

Bloom: Gone, but I sense something else. Something cold.

Stella: There's really negative energy in the air here.

Tecna: I feel it too. Singed ions indicate dark magic.

Sky: So someone used dark magic to make the troll vanish.

Timmy: But who?

Musa: Well we know the troll works for Knut, and we know Knut is the grunt for the three witches.

Brandon: You think those three are the ones who shot us down?

Bloom: Look.


 * Bloom picks up some feathers.

Bloom: Hmmm.

Tecna: Those look like duck feathers.

Bloom: And isn't someone we know being stalked by a duck, cause of a spell we put on her?

Musa: Icy.

Flora: It looks like we've got the proof we need.

Bloom: But what are they up to? We've gotta find out.

Scene: Palladium's Class, Swamp

 * The Red Fountain ship heads to the crystal clearing.

Bloom: There's our class.


 * The ship lands and the girls get out.

Stella: Aren't you boys gonna walk us to class?

Sky: Well...

Brandon: We would, but we're, uh, not exactly allowed to leave the ship.

B, S, F, M and T: Huh?

Bloom: No worries. We just hope you don't get grounded.


 * The ship takes off.

Tecna: See ya.

Stella: Later tater.

Professor Paladium: Your group is by far the last to arrive. And so, unfortunately, you receive a zero for punctuality (B, S, F, M and T gasp). However, thirty points for generosity, twenty five for initiative, forty for courage and fifty for your ability to listen to the Voice of Nature makes your score the highest in the class.

Amaryl: No fair! They were the last to get here.

Paladium: Yes, but I never said it was a race. Sometimes the journey is more important than the destination.

Scene: Repair Room, Red Fountain

 * The heroes' ship is being repaired

Brandon: We're almost done.

Sky: Yeah, but then we gotta clean the jousting stables.

Timmy: The stables, and the creatures too.

Sky: I guess our punishment could be worse.

Timmy: I don't know Sky. What could be worse than having to give a bath to that grumpy griffin?

Brandon: Yeah, man. That griffin is HUGE. A lot goes in and a lot comes out.

Sky: Well, think about the time Marcus had to climb into the digestive cavity of the Bingledip Beast.


 * The specialists laugh.

Scene: The Winx's Dorm
Bloom: I've been thinking… we're a really awesome group and we should have an awesome name! What do you think?

Tecna: Actually, it's a pretty good idea. A name is good for quick reference.

Stella: The right name would give us that certain something. We could be called something like… the Wonder Five! Or the Stella Five! The Power Troupe! Or the B.S.M.T.F.?

Musa: B.S.M.T.F.?

Stella: Check it: beauty, style, magic, taste, and flair! And that's also the first letters of each of our names!

Musa: Nah, that's way too cheesy!

Flora: I say Bloom picks it.

Musa & Tecna: Me too.

Bloom: Really? (takes out her drawing) Because I did come up with a little something. I even made a logo! Check it out!

Flora: That's awesome!

Stella: It's totally mint, Bloom!

Tecna: But, uh… so our name is 'Winx'?

Bloom: Even better. We're the 'Winx Club'!

(End Episode) (Note: Brandon and Sky's name were still switched.)
