Knut, Bloom, Sky, Stella and Brandon reach part of the underground tunnel. There are three tunnels and Knut assures them that the tunnel he picked is correct. Stella is not convinced because Knut has led them into four traps the past hour. She was correct because they were bombarded with large insects, a huge rush of water, living vines, large beetles and finally, Cloud Tower's personal garbage dump site - which is outside.

Riven apologizes.

They try to help Knut up, since he was the one who fell through, however, they hear some creaking and quickly get Knut back on his feet. Knut smells the things that were making the creaking noises and it turns out they are beetleroaches – beetles that eat garbage, this fact of course, disgusts Stella. The boys get ready to defend themselves but Bloom stops them for fear of giving their enemy the tip. Sky agrees when Knut starts screaming.

Winx Club - Episode 122 (14)

They then continue their way through the tunnels with Riven and Sky is very impressed by Riven's skills, utilizing what they had learned from school. They joke a little and start laughing.

Mission to Cloud Tower 22

Riven's torment

  • Some scenes were were removed from the 4Kids version. In the Cinélume version, while Riven was locked up, Darcy and Stormy decide to mentally torment him for laughs. They create six Riven clones in the cell he is in that all looked to attack him. Riven tries to ward them off, but then they suddenly melt and combine to form an ugly monster, scaring Riven. After a few moments, Riven noticed the monster was mimicking his every movement. This was meant to show that the monster acted as a physical reflection of Riven's soul considering his past actions (he betrayed his real friends on his own accord, which nearly got them killed on more than a few occasions).

Mistakes[]

  • The text in the title card is off-centered.
  • Riven's eyes lack pupils and irises when he frees himself and prepares to free Miss Griffin
  • After transforming, Musa's midriff is bare.
  • The lighting on Knut is inconsistent when he first enters the tunnels.

Quotes[]

Those three witches won't wait long before launching a new attack on Alfea. We've got to be ready to fight them!

There are many things I don't like about myself but I'm far from being a monster, okay? I have a heart! And even though I can't be sure how they'll ever be able to forgive me for all things I've said and done... I have a few friends too...

Riven, coming to terms with his actions.

Paying the price for my foolishness... I too, have shown poor judgement. I should've realized sooner that their ambition was dangerous and scope.

Oh no!... No! The window! It's my only chance! There's no other way... Is this where it ends?... NO! You'll never get me!

Riven, as he escapes from the Creatures of the Dark

But I have no choice, don't you understand? As long as the witches possess the power of the Dragon Flame nothing can stop them! The flame is apart of me, I'm responsible for it.

Bloom

You're as stubborn as a mule!

Musa, annoyed with Bloom and her dangerous plan to get back the Dragon's Flame.

Tecna, are those tears I see in your eyes?

Stella, when she sees Tecna crying

I want this war to last a long time! I want Alfea to suffer a slow, humiliating defeat. The Creatures of the Dark a numerous and will never give up the fight, so ultimately they will bring down Alfea!

Icy

For a fairy with no powers, you sure pack a punch!

Knut

You had to put into practice everything we learned at Red Fountain! Survival totally infested with Creatures of the Dark.

Sky, impressed and praising Riven's ability in survival.

Umm, Sky, Brandon... I, wanted to apologize for all the things I've done...

Riven
