Chapter 4: Beware of Pirates


Nagi only watch her friends joyfully play around on the ship's deck or swim with the sea animals in the ocean. She could feel that her friends are growing with their goals in mind. For now, the Asad will watch over them to make sure they enjoy their lives to the fullest. Sitting on top the wooden rails of the ship, Nagi felt uneasy for her friends. A fear of danger slowly creeps in her mind; will her friends face danger soon in the future?


The teens soon begin their training of improving themselves. They spar with each other in practice. Nagi faces the right side of the deck to see the ocean. Her friends seem to talk behind her about something.

"Is…that on fire? The port?" Morgiana questions. Nagi suddenly turns wary of Morgiana's comment.

Looking down, she saw the waves acting irregular around the ship. Her eyes narrowed into a glare as she turns to her left side to see her friends facing ahead. Nagi's jaw tightens as she unstrapped her charkrams from her sides. In her eyesight, she saw a male child flying in the air inside a water sphere.

"Who are you?" Nagi angrily asks as she glares the young intruder.

The boy have strange clothing, his chest is covered by a white cloth. Strange red paint decorates the boy's face with his dark green hair tied up into a high ponytail. A long chain with a red gem at the other end of it clipped on his left ear. At the bottom, he wore fur bottoms and leather boots.

The boy ignored the woman as he has a smile on his face, "You've got great eyesight, young lady." Everyone on the ship turn to the boy when hearing his voice. The Sindria soldiers whisper among each other when seeing the boy in air. Nagi stands behind her friends; she pauses to see the boy is in company of a toddler on his face. The boy smiles at the toddler who is bouncing with excitement, "There, there. Hang taught for a second, now."

Turning from the smiling toddler, the boy's expression changed to a cold stare. "You guys, this is one fine ship. We'll be taking the fine items now." He said. The soldiers only answers in anger at the boy. The metal hook on the boy's right hand is lifted into the air as it glowed. A rush of water flew up in the air. Nagi saw the sea revealing two flying ships from both sides. She tightly holds her chakrams when she spoke up, "Everyone, be on your guard." The teens nod and prepare themselves for battle.

The boy grins at the frighten soldiers, "We're pirates."


'These children...' Nagi thought to herself.

Her metal bracelet gave a faint glow, 'The…children…are crying.' A faint soft voice whispers in her head. She blinks as she looks down at her bracelet. 'Bes, is there something wrong?' Nagi asks her Djinn friend but Bes remained silent. Looking up quickly, Nagi turns her attention to the masked pirates who landed on the deck. She turns to the elderly captain who is cornered by one pirate. The pirate points his weapon at the old man who is attacked by the water magic. Nagi rushes towards the pirate to land a flying kick to the face. The pirate took the hit then flies a foot away from Nagi and the elderly captain.

"Does anyone teach you not to hurt the elderly?" Nagi questions with a hateful glare at the cowardly pirate. The pirate shivers under her gaze as she helped the captain to his feet.

"Captain, you should take your men and go below deck until we are safe." Nagi said. The captain quietly thanks the woman as he tells his men to go to safely. Nagi kick away or punched a few pirates who try to hurt the weaponless sailors. Morgiana kick away one pirate who got close to Alibaba. Hakuryuu looks at the fallen pirate who lost his mask.

"He's a kid?" Hakuryuu commented. The teens were surprised that the pirates are merely young children or teens. Nagi help the last sailors to safety and gives aid to her struggling friends. The young pirates turn to the green haired pirate. One of them begged for protection, "Orba! Help us out Orba!"

Orba only gave his disgust at his cowardly crew, "And you call yourselves the sons of Aum Madaura?" He walks towards Nagi's friends, he become interested in Aladdin. Nagi could see his unemotional gaze on Aladdin. Orba suddenly asks Aladdin many questions as he points his hook at the little magi. The hook begins to glow but Nagi's eyes widen, she watches Aladdin suddenly runs to the right of the ship.

One of the pirates shot their water magic at Aladdin. The magi fly into the ocean. "A-Aladdin!" Nagi shouts out in shock. Without any thought, Nagi drops her chakrams beside Morgiana to run to the left side of the deck. The Asad could hear her friends calling out to them. She took a deep breath then dives into the sea to swim deeper towards the sinking Aladdin.


Around them is just the sea, Nagi reach towards her friend's left hand. 'Almost there…' She could feel her lungs struggling with the pressures of the sea. Her hands tightly grabs Aladdin's hand, Nagi swims up towards the surface with Aladdin wrapped around her left arm.

Her eyes widen to feel something containing them. Water around them surrounds them rapidly. The water causes her to cough out air from her mouth. Her body felt weak, losing air. Her eyes blurred until black spots grow in her vision. 'Not now…please. I'm sorry Aladdin, looks like I failed you again.' Nagi thought. Finally with last breath, she lost herself in a dreamless state with Aladdin in her arms.


A/N: Annnndddd done! O_O poor Nagi! I wonder what will happen to both of them now. I could imagine that she will give them a painful lecture and lesson to the young pirates. Please bare with me! The excitement and drama will come soon.
