Episode 7: Broken Mirrors Part 2 of 2 (by Akatoh)

[Akira to Marina]
"So you'll go with me tomorrow?"

"Uhh… Yeah… I said yes didn't I?!"

"Right..."

She seemed stumbled at first, I could feel that she had a suspicion towards me by feeling somewhat hesitant. They all seem to be avoiding me, am I doing something wrong?

[Marina's Perspective]
I really did feel bad for Akira, but in a sense I'm not really sure if I could trust her… If what Hina and the others think is true, she could be Y… When I go out with her tomorrow, I'll pretend everything is alright, but I'll keep my guard up high.

[Akira's Perspective]
The next day at Alfea, the girls attended their classes and spent lunch together. They all seemed to resent me in some sort of way, it was no big deal though, I'm used to being the black sheep. All of them but Marina, something about her was surely different though, like yesterday. I'll make sure we go to a super fun place tonight besides just plain old Magix City. I got it! I'll take her to this place on Earth called "Tokyo, Japan", I'm sure she'd like to have a little fun on another place other than Magix. Hopefully we can get back by curfew, just in time before Faragonda and Griselda activate the protective barrier over the school. It'll be a perfect night!

The girls then scurried to their apartment headquarters.

[Akira to Marina]
"Ready to go Marina?"

"Yeah, but where exactly are we going?"

"Well, where we're going you can't really dress like that, so I'll help with that."
I casted a magic spell that would give us new outfits and style our hair at the same time.

"Woah, these clothes!" Marina said.

"You bet! Now let's go!"

The girls teleported to a far off place, in a planet known as "Earth" then conveniently teleport to a place called Tokyo, located in Japan.

"Woah, is this Japan?" Marina said.

"How'd you know?" I replied.

"I have friends on Earth! But better question is, how do you know, Akira?"

"Well, uh….. I have friends too….. I guess. Anyways, let's get going. It's in that building over there."

We approached the building and entered it, only to be accommodated by other civilians wearing funky clothing like us. The neon lights inside the building reminded me of my celebrity status, as I didn't have the heart to tell the girls my big secret. I wanted to live a normal life while at was at school, away from the crowd, maybe that's just my problem. We started to dance under the strobe lights and neon lights around us. The dance floor was beautifully lit even if we were just clubbing.

"I'm having so much fun! Thanks for taking me here!" Marina said.

"No problem! We should probably eat something after really fast, then head back to Alfea."

"You're right, we don't want to run into the protective barrier surrounding the school again!"

[Marina's Perspective]
We danced for a bit more, and after seeing how much fun Akira could actually have if she was motivated. There's no chance that she could be Y, that I am very doubtful of, but still questionable upon it. We stopped dancing and headed to a place just a block down to grab some Earth-like food known as "sushi". I saw a few posters of some celebrity singer named "Kiara", the rest of the words were in another language that I couldn't read, she resembled an extreme likeness to Akira, but with different hair and poofier clothing. Eh, must be just a coincidence.

"This place is amazing! Beautiful city lights, and interesting but exotic food. And this green paste that makes your food spicier!" Marina said.

"I know, I love this place!"
"Uhm Akira… Sorry if I sound very forward, but if you had a really terrible secret, would you ever tell anyone?"

I froze for a second then tried to brush it off.

"Of course…" I said then smiled while trying to push the subject to something else.

"Hm, is there a reason why you don't like to hang out with us as a group? Sorry if I seem a little pushy about this subject." Marina replied.

"Oh, it's no reason really. I'm used to being - Marina do you see that?"

"See what?"

"There's a black shadowy figure across the street staring at us."

"I'm scared… But I bet it's Y, so I say we should go after it." She replied.

"Yeah, let's go!"

"MAGIC WINX! CHARMIX!" We both cried.

"Marina, Fairy of Transformations!"

"Akira, fairy of Spirits!"

Our wings fluttered towards the shadowy figure, then it started to run away from us. The figure was fast, then it finally ran into an alleyway.

"Not so fast! We've got you surrounded." Marina said.

"Take off the cloak, now." I demanded.

The shadowy figure started to remove it's cloak… There lied a girl with silver hair and a white porcelain mask, adorned on her head with a black crown. She curtsied to us while putting her fingertips on her frilly black skirt.

"Who are you?"

[X to Akira and Marina]
She didn't talk but then we heard a voice. She spoke using telepathic messages.

"I am X, and I've come to warn you of the dangers. As we speak and have this conversation, she and her partner have obtained the book from under the vault. If she isn't stopped, she'll rid of the Magix dimension." X said telepathically.

"Who are you, and why are you telling us these things…?" Marina replied.

"We'll have to talk about this another time. I'm afraid it has been obtained, I wish you luck on defending your dimension. An unspeakable evil lies within the book." X said.

"How do we know this is not a trick?" I said.

She stared at me through her porcelain mask, then took out her parasol. She then opened her parasol, curtsied, and then disappeared into the ether, leaving glass mirror shards on the ground.

"Did you know her, Akira?" Marina said.

"No, but something about her seemed vaguely familiar…"

Meanwhile back at Cloud Tower…

[Y to Asha]
"Alas Asha, we have finally obtained the Legendarium!" Y said.

"Excellent, now we have to figure out how to get them out."

"I think I know a way… BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA."
