A/N: I want to expand the story a bit by putting it around Theo's viewpoint. You should read Abra Cadaver before you read this story. It will focus on the hardships of him being friends with a bunch of misfits that were actually deemed King Vessels. When they entered the Magi world, that was when Team FEAR begun their sea voyage to Sindria. There will be no viewpoints of Franklin or his other friends. There will be some preview of Kousei in this fiction.

Chapter 1: Visitor

Theo's view.

I've gotta hand it to Bethesda, she's a magical genius. She showed me an easy way of summoning a dimensional portal to this world, where Metal Vessels determined the tides of battle. My world is alright without them, because we don't really need Kings, and that power could lead into a bloody revolution through their advent. I mean, what if the Americans discovered the Metal Vessels and Dungeons? They'd probably threaten potentially "evil" countries such as Syria with the power of a Djinn.

Bethesda says that the dungeons that appear in my world were actually blessed with dark magic that enshroud its existence to common men; only worthy kings or Magi could see it. The dark magic source remains unknown, and even when I asked Bethesda, she too doesn't know.

She's a gypsy in her late 20s and wore a black sleeveless dress with white detached sleeves that has frills on end. Her eyes are purple and her hair is red.

And so, here I am in a forest near the Kou Empire. In all honesty, Holly told me to go here, but never specified any reasons. When she just said, "Go to the Kou Empire," I just scoffed and just followed what she said.

The Kou Empire is basically a Chinese Empire. I'm not the biggest historian, but I feel like I was timewarped back into 20 BC or something, but Bethesda and Holly told me that this isn't the world in the past, and if it were, today would have been different.

"Hey T!" Natasha whined.

I sighed from Natasha's childishness.

"What?"

"I have no data on my phone!"

I threw my hand into my face. Damn girls. I stared at her maliciously and bonked her on the head.

"Ow!"

"You do realize we're in another dimension. Where NO phones exist!"

She stomped the ground in rage. Luckily for me, I never really had a phone, so I didn't have too much to complain. I just hope that Natasha isn't the-

"I want to go home!" Marcus, Carson, and Natasha whined in unison. Piper sighed.

"You're just a bunch of kids, you know?"

She grabbed her phone and she attempted to play Minion Rush.

"I'm just going to play Min-"

I grabbed all of their phones and put them in my pocket.

"Look you bunch of technodorks, we are now in a dimension where phones don't exist," I said.

I looked at Marcus.

"There's no Instagram!" he sniffled from hearing that.

I turned to Natasha.

"No Twitter!" she wept as if someone died. In this case, her former life.

"No Facebook!" Carson sighed as I shouted the news to him.

"And absolutely, no Candy Crush Saga!" Piper sighed too, but it was out of frustration.

"But I was going to play-"

"Shut up! Just because you guys have a Djinn, doesn't mean you're already powerful,"

They all looked at their Metal Vessels and rubbed it. My eye twitched from their stupidity.

"You know, this isn't Aladdin. Djinns are used differently here," I said angrily. I walked North or wherever this pathway leads to,"Come, follow me,"

With that, my troupe of unlikely kings followed me.

Unknown Location

Damn. It felt like I had a hangover. My vision was blurry, but I thought I saw a black haired maiden right in front of me. My vision started to clear up and I saw a beautiful mature women. She had a scar on her left cheek, yet she smiled warmly at me. She also wore some sort of white kimono with some armor on her shoulders. She held a white fan on her left hand.

"You're awake," she said softly.

I realized I was lying on a futon, and from the looks of it, I think I'm in a tent. Looking around, I saw my King Vessels in separate futons. They were still asleep.

"What happened?" I asked the lady. I didn't want to outburst, because I was too tired, and I think I can trust her.

"During a march, we found you guys dying in the middle of the road, so I decided to keep you guys safe in case robbers pillage you," she said softly.

I found myself smiling warmly at her.

"Thank you. I'm Theo," In case Franklin's name was global, I shouldn't say my last name,"What's yours?"

"I am Ren Hakuei, 1st Princess of the Kou Empire,"

Kou Empire princess? She must know where the Kou Empire is. Also from what I heard from Bethesda, she also claimed to have explored the Kou Empire. She says that they're a tyrannical group of colonists who seek to rule the world under one rule with aggression. Hakuei doesn't seem like a bad person.

"Well, thank you for rescuing my friends too, I'm sure they're grateful too,"

She nodded and put her hands together and bowed to me.

"Yes, I'm sure they are..." she smiled warmly,"Magi."

My eyes widened and I suddenly backed away from her. How did she know I was a Magi?! My heart beat fast, sensing some sort of malicious event about to occur. She chuckled warmly.

"I knew it when you touched my fan while you were dying, but only I saw it, and I promise that I won't do anything too rash,"

My respiration started to come back to normal. She had a curious, yet cute face.

"Hey Theo?" she said.

"Yes?"

She walked over to Natasha and confiscated her headphones. She presented them to me. A black Dr Dre Studio headphones were what she showed me. She also noticed the eight pointed star on where the B was suppose to be.

"I've never seen such a unique Metal Vessel. What is this?" she said out of curiosity.

I started to panic a bit, but through deep breathing, I calmed down.

"Hakuei, I hope you can keep another secret," I said calmly.

I explained to her about where my King Vessels and I came from. She initially thought I came from Alma Torran, but I told her I didn't know where that was, so she continued to listen. I told her about the headphones, and how it can transfer sound played by a device into its miniature speakers.

"Oh, that's a pretty neat invention. Did they use magic to create this device?" she said.

I shook my head.

"No, there's no worldwide usage of magic from my world. We relied only on technology,"

"Just like the Reim Empire,"

I raised a brow. She chuckled softly.

"My mistake, I was just speaking my thoughts aloud."

She put them on the wrong way, so I helped her put it the right way. I grabbed Natasha's iPhone. I pressed the button twice.

"Sander Van Doorn. Joyenergizer," I said to myself quietly.

Before pressing play, I reduced the volume to a less surprising one. I hit play, and it played dubstep. By looking at her, I think the rising action is playing. Her pupils slowly shrunk as the sound rose. As soon as the bass dropped, her pupils enlarged. Worried about Hakuei, I removed the headphones from her. Her face was filled with enticement.

"That music sounded so... alien, yet so, magical," she said,"Can I listen to more?"

I shook my head, worried about this future becoming distorted.

"No, I think you shouldn't get too curious about our customs, because it's time I told you the reason why I'm here,"

Hinode Kingdom, Shogun's office.

Ren Kousei. He had the blood of Ren Koutoku, former Emperor of the Kou Empire. But Kousei wasn't like everyone else. While Kousei is a powerful fencer, as well as a great tactician, he was exiled due to his failed conquest at the age of 15. During a small war, he saw a girl soldier, and protected her from harm. Due to seeing the pointlessness of this war, he retreated. The judges used his lineage and his actions to justify his exile. He wasn't fully born royal, as he was born from a prostitute like how Kougyoku did. The sent him to a boat toward the Eastern Ocean, condemning him to die while in the empty oceans. But then he was saved when he was on the brink of his famine. Ever since he was saved by Mikado Izayoi, a Miko of the Hinode Kingdom, he was raised there and learned of their standards. During his time growing up, he discovered one of the first dungeons and conquered it. Because of this, he earned the title of Shogun.

He sat in his room, reliving his past through contemplation. The door to his office slid open, revealing his adoptive mother.

"Mind if I come in, Shogun?" she said softly.

"Sure thing, Mikado," Kousei said with a smile.

Mikado is in her late 20s. She had short purple hair and has red eyes. She wears a black kimono with a short skirt with red intricate flower designs on the sleeves and skirt. She also had a petite figure and she always held a metal fan, which also doubles as her Household Vessel.

As she sat down in front of him, Kousei smiled warmly.

"You don't need to call me Shogun, Mikado," he said with a smile,"Just call me Kousei,"

She felt uneasy saying that. It was because the citizens were anxious due to a Kou Empire prince appearing in their land. They feared that he would be a sort of mole. But as he grew, they started to trust Kousei more.

"Yes, Kousei," she said a bit nervously.

"Well, what's your business?" he asked.

"It's about the Magis,"

A/N: A bit shorter than most of my chapters. I hoped you enjoyed my fan fic, and as usual, review if you wish.
