WINX SPIDEY

Chapter 1: On A Dark Night

Hello readers! I hope this isn't a bad timing, I just want ya'll to know that this isn't exactly a sequel to my current Spider-Man/Winx Club crossover, "Beauty and the Man-Spider". This is just something that I decided to base off of the Disney classic "Aladdin", with some similarities from both the original film and its live-action remake that comes out later this weekend. It's just amazing that the filmmakers at the Walt Disney company managed to find some really good actors, who could play the main cast.

A/N: I don't own Spider-Man or Winx Club, just the idea for the story. Anything that's written in here is based off of characters owned by Marvel Comics and Rainbow Productions.

Narrator: Oh I come from a land, it's a faraway place. Where the wildest dragons roam.

Where it's flat and immense, and the heat is intense. It's alien, but hey! It's home.

When the winds from the east, and the sun's in the west, and the sand in the glass is right.

Come on down, stop on by, hop a carpet and fly to another Magical night.

Magical nights! Like Magical days! They seem to excite, take off and take flight, to shock and amaze.

Magical nights! Like Magical rhymes! A fool off his guard, would fall and fall hard, here in these dark times.

Narrator: Ah, salaam and good evening to you all, worthy friends. Please, please come closer.

(Screen suddenly zooms in) Oof! Too close, a little too close! (Screen pulls out just a couple of feet) Ah, there!

Welcome to Magix, the dimension of mystery and enchantment. And the finest merchandise, it's time to be showing on sale today! Come on down!(Chuckles)

Look at this(Pulls out an item), combination hookah and coffee maker! It also makes very good Julian fries! It won't break(Tap, tap), not even when you…(Springs bounce right out of item) dash it all! It broke anyway!

(Pulls out a different item) Look at this, I have never seen one of these intact before. This is the famous Dead Sea Tupperware, listen…Pfft! Ah, still good.

(Screen starts turning away) Wait don't go! I can see that you are only interested in the exceptionally rare, I think that you'll be awarded to consider this(Pulls out a golden lamp).

Now do not fooled by commonplace appearance, like so many things, it's not what is outside. But what is inside that counts. This is no ordinary lamp! It once changed the course of a young man's life. The young man who, like this lamp, was more than what he seemed:

A diamond in the rough.

So perhaps you would like to hear the tale? It begins on a dark night, where a dark man waits with a dark purpose…

Egyptian desert

A mysterious horseman mounted upon his horse, waited for his accountants to arrive. He wore a green suit with golden gauntlets and boots, a golden breastplate in front, a red cape in back, and a circular dome helmet on top. This man was called Mysterio, the master of trickery and illusions, but his real name was Quinten Beck and he was royal adviser to the king and queen of the planet Domino.

On his shoulder perched a wicked-looking falcon, that turned out to be his constant travelling companion named Walter. As they waited, a portal suddenly opened up and out stepped three girls with gothic looks and each one had a different style of hair and each of them wore a different colored attire of clothes. The first had long white hair in a ponytail on her head, blue irises under her eyes, and wore dark blue robes. Her name was Icy, and she was the leader of a group called the Trix.

The second had long smooth brown hair hanging down to her shoulders, she had purple irises under her eyes, and wore a purple robe while the third had blue frizzy hair, red irises, and dark red robes. These were Icy's sisters, Darcy and Stormy, all three of them were descendants of the ancestral witches, who were responsible for attacking and invading Domino.

"It's about time, where have you three been?" asked Mysterio sternly.

"Oh, we've just been keeping tabs on your little thief." Icy answered before another horse came galloping through the portal. It stopped directly in front of Mysterio's horse and its rider dismounted, it was a scrawny young thief named Xian.

"You are late!" growled Mysterio impatiently.

"A thousand apologies, O patient one" Xian answered dryly.

"But do you have it now?" inquired the royal vizier. The thief nodded before reaching inside his coat.

"I had to slit a few throats, but I've got it!" Xian answered gleefully, pulling out what looked like half of a silver scarab beetle. Mysterio held his hand for the item, but Xian held it away "Auh, auh, auh! The treasure…"

But before the young thief could even finish the sentence, the item was instantly snatched from his hand by the falcon that was perched on Mysterio's shoulder.

"Patience my pungent friend." the vizier chuckled as he took the item from the falcon's talons and pulled out from his cloak, another one just like it. "You'll get what's coming to you." Xian's eyes widened in amazement as Mysterio merged both items together as two halves of a silver scarab beetle. As soon as both halves merged, the scarab beetle came to life and flew out across the desert, leaving a bright trail of silver dust.

"Quickly, follow the trail!" called out Mysterio, spurring his horse into action, the others followed suit. They all followed the trail until they came to a certain dune where the scarab beetle split into two halves once more, only this time, the two halves flew around the dune until embedding into the front, forming what looked like two eyes.

Mysterio, Walter, Xian and the Trix all stopped directly in front of the dune when all of a sudden, there was the sudden tremors of the ground shaking. The dune that had both halves of the scarab beetle embedded, began to rise up and take on a certain shape. The horses were so spooked that they bucked violently, throwing off their riders and left them behind. The Trix on the other hand, were simply flying and didn't need any mounts at the moment, they all watched in amazement as the sand dune assumed the form of a giant Sphinx laying on the ground with its mouth wide open, its eyes were also glowing and a strange light omitted from its mouth.

"At last" said Mysterio in satisfaction "After all my years of searching, I have finally found it, the Cave of Dreams and Wonders!"

"The Cave of what now?" asked Stormy in confusion, Icy and Darcy just rolled their eyes in annoyance. Xian stepped forward and stared at the giant Sphinx in complete amazement "By Allah!" he said out loud.

Then Mysterio grabbed him by the collar and said sternly "Now remember our deal, first bring me the lamp. The rest of the treasure is yours, but the lamp is mine."

"Okay!" Xian nodded his head eagerly before heading towards the cave entrance, which was in fact the mouth of the Sphinx god. As the young thief went towards the cave, the Trix turned to the vizier "I wonder, where did you picked this guy up?" asked Darcy.

"I simply found him in a certain borough of New York City." Mysterio replied "But that is another story for another time." They all turned back to watch what Xian was doing, he was looking up at the cave entrance and admiring it. But as soon as he came closer, he gaped in astonishment at the inside of the cave's mouth, with stairs leading down into some caverns. Then Xian gulped down his fear and stepped forward, he was just about to set foot inside the cave when all of a sudden, what felt like a large gust of wind knocked him backwards and the Sphinx god began to move and speak, causing Xian alarm:

"WHO DISTURBS MY SLUMBER?!" it thundered out loud, astonishing Mysterio and his associates, Xian gasped and then snapped out of his stupor before stammering.

"It is…it is I, Xian" he replied before bowing with his face to the ground. "A humble thief." The Sphinx god seemed to scowl at this before answering. "Know this, only one may enter here. One whose worth lies far within, and whose rags hide a heart that's pure. The diamond in the rough."

Mysterio, Walter, and the Trix were all very puzzled when they heard that, but Xian was very confused and turned to look at them. "What are you waiting for?" asked Mysterio urgently "Go on!" Xian hesitated, but then turned and started to venture into the cave once again, while the Sphinx god opened its mouth even wider. The thief took one step inside the cave's mouth and shut his eyes, but nothing terrible happened. Xian opened his eyes and looked up, taking in his surroundings of the Sphinx god's fearsome jaws and nothing even happened.

"Phew!" Xian sighed in relief, thinking the danger had passed, but he was very wrong as the Sphinx god suddenly roared in anger. "RAAAWWWRRRR!"

Xian was so startled that he screamed in terror and ran back to the entrance to get back outside, but it was too late. The Sphinx god clamped its mouth shut tight, swallowing Xian whole, this sent a whole bunch of sand flying so high that the rest of the group had to cover their faces.

"Nooo!" Mysterio cried out in despair.

"Seek thee out, the diamond in…the diamond in the rough!" echoed the voice of the Sphinx god as it dissolved back into the sand, the two halves of the silver scarab beetle came rolling down the dunes. Walter the falcon popped up out of the sand, coughing and sputtering "I can't believe it!" he cried while shaking himself off before flying over to pick up the two halves. "I just don't believe it! We're never going to get a hold of that stupid lamp! Just forget it!"

"Be patient Walter." Mysterio told his feathered companion "Xian was obviously les then worthy."

"Oh there's a big surprise!" snapped Walter sarcastically "Now I think I'm going to have a heart attack and die from that surprise! What are we going to do? We've got a big problem here and…"

The bird was instantly cut off when Mysterio clamped a hand over his beak, shutting him up. "Oh yes" the vizier replied "Only one may enter." He then turned to the trio of witches and told them. "It seems the first thing we must do is find the one is worthy to enter the cave. We find this one, this... 'diamond in the rough'."

There you have it! The first chapter of Winx Spidey is finished, now in case any of you readers out there are wondering why I chose such a title for this story. It's because I thought it would sound brand new, that's why, as for the Cave of Dreams and Wonders in this fanfic, its shape is suppose to be based off of the giant Sphinx that was brought to life by the Legendarium in Season 6 on Winx Club. While the scarab beetle is silver instead of gold, I figured it would be a neat twist to this story, kind of like having Mysterio being the royal vizier on the planet Domino, secretly working with the Trix and having a pet falcon named Walter. Now as for Walter, imagine him being voiced by Gilbert Gottfried and sounding just like Iago from the movie Aladdin.

So that's it for now, and sound off your thoughts in the reviews below!
