Everyone escapes to Alfea.

At Cloud Tower, the group has been walking around the castle for awhile and they are getting close to the Dragon Flame. The group splits up, Riven and Brandon go to free Griffin and her students while Knut, Bloom, Stella and Sky head to the room where the Dragon Flame is supposedly being kept. They enter the room and they see a large, burning flame in the center of the room. Bloom approaches it but it is soon frozen in ice. Then, a strong gust of wind sends Knut, Stella and Sky hurling at the wall, smashing right into it. Bloom turns towards the entrance and sees the Trix, making their grand entrance. Icy breaks the news to her, the flame in this room is not the Dragon Flame, it is in fact within the essence of their souls. Darcy mocks Bloom and cackles when Icy interrupts and tells Bloom that they plan to make Cloud Tower her grave.

Bloom and Sky distracting the Army of Darkness.

As they cackle, a powerful magical beam sends the three witches flying at the wall. It was Griffin's magic, who has finally been freed from her prison along with her students thanks to Riven and Brandon. Stella, Bloom and Sky join them as Griffin tells the Trix off and that they will settle this later, she steps away and traps them in multiple mystical shields and earthly barriers to buy them some time to escape. Griffin leads everyone to the Wind Swept Terrace - the only way out of Cloud Tower. The witches put on their cloaks and one student gives one to Griffin. They make their way to the terrace while Icy, Darcy and Stormy try to get out of the barrier Griffin made.

Quotes[]

He wanted us to see a good example of bad decorating.

Stella, when Knut brought the group to the Trix's room

You've got to trust me! I'm with you, not the witches! Come on, we've no time to waste!

Knut

Hey, ladies first, Brandon!

Riven, volunteering Brandon to go first through the mirror's tunnel

And children next, right Riven?

Brandon, response to Riven

UGH! That traitor!

Darcy, about Knut

Look at it this way: this experience is teaching us so much more than school books stuff. We're part of historical events! We've had to come up with spells that could never be reproduced, Musa! We get to fight alongside the most powerful witches and fairies in the Magic Dimension!

Tecna

We're like... A big orchestra and each one of us has an important part to play!

Musa

Timmy... If only I could put logic aside for awhile and let myself be sweep by emotion... After all it can't be that bad!

Tecna

You three deserve the worst kind of punishment for what you've done!

Phew, that was close! Are you alright?

Sky, after a landing unharmed
