Hey guys, Sea Eagle here. If you guys check my profile, you'll find a very important news update for this account. You'll see what i mean if you actually do. But, enough talk, let's just get on with the story.

ENJOY!

The children closed their eyes, and huddled around each other, breaking their vision. In their heads, they were done for. They shouldn't have gone out of their homes. They shouldn't have challenged this madman. The siblings should've just accepted how weak they were, and went on with training the normal way. But alas, it was too late. Trapped in a dome of ice with a crazy Magical Boy with one hand trying to kill them. Seemed like a brutal way to die. They were already imagining how it would go down. He would probably have killed them with one smooth slice, decapitating them. Or rather, they would be impaled like the victims of Dracula. Or worse, the slashes would be repeated, over and over again, like a storm of swords.

Strangely, none of them occurred. Instead, they hear the voice of a Beast Roar right in front of them. It sounded familiar to all their ears. They all looked at the source of the sound, and found a blue clad Magical Boy, they refer to as Eagle. Sofia's, Amber's, and James's faces were all filled with joy, knowing their saviour has arrived. But the look on their faces were soon wiped off when the older one turned around, and looked at them with disappointment. Though, they weren't surprised by this. After all, what they've done was rather scandalous.

"Stay back," he said to them. "And don't do anything else. You've caused enough trouble as it is."

"But Eagle-" said Sofia, before being interrupted with a loud yell. "WHAT DID I SAY!?" yelled Eagle.

No response. They simply followed his instructions, and went out of the ice dome from the hole Eagle came in right behind them. While they were baffled and amazed by how he was able to make that hole so quietly and swiftly, they were also saddened by Eagle's response towards their actions. They simply watched on as the two older Magi attempt to bring the other down, with their heads held low. All they could hear is the sound of two blades clashing, with faint noises of the two quicksteping all over the place, dashing in and out, trying to get hits on each other.

Suddenly, the five children heard the sound of gunshot behind them. As they turned their heads at the sound, two blurs passed by, heading towards the fight, one black and one yellow. When they turned to the battlefield again, they now see Jack and Mami fighting alongside Eagle. The one-handed knight was now in trouble. He had enemies all around him, two of them were fast at close-quarters, and one keeping the pressure on him from her ranged shots. As the fight progresses, he became more and more aggressive. His swings became more powerful, to the point where he managed to stagger Eagle during a clash. He was quite surprised with this, as he was holding a two-hander sword, with ONE hand. His movement became more erratic, constantly approaching the three Magi at fast speeds. And with each swing, he let out a grunt, showing how much power and struggle he put into the attack.

But alas, it didn't matter in the end, as a shot from Mami to his hand sent his sword flying, and staggering him. Jack followed up, and caught the mad Magi with his scythe like a fish on a hook. He swung upwards, sending him flying and chopping him in half, followed up by a smooth finish with Eagle, pointing his blade towards the sky, and thrusting the poor madman clean through his chest. His bottom half landed right in front of the giant stone, with a small bounce as it reached the ground. Blood slowly dripped, going along Eagle's blade as his breathing became heavy from the fight. The knight, however, was breathing his last few breaths. With the rest of energy he had left, he quietly uttered out his last words.

"Anna...Elsa...forgive me..."

And then, no pulse.

Eagle gently put down the body right in front of him, carefully removing his sword from the body, and kneeling afore it afterwards. With respect, he closed the young man's now lifeless eyes as he quietly said a small prayer to the dead body. "Innallilahi Wa Innallilahi Rojiuun," he prayed as he got back up on his feet. When he looked at the other two Magi, he saw that they were hugging their loved ones respectively, both young girls in tears as they hugged the teens. That left the three siblings on their own, who ran over to him out of fear. He embraced all three of them tightly, gently wiping the tears off of the girls's faces.

"You kids alright?" he asked them. The three simply responded with small nods.

After the five children felt comfortable once again, they left the graveyard, in search for the other Magi, whom the three left when they noticed the five children entering the graveyard. On the way, a little conversation occurred, which left quite a memory on Sofia, Amber, and James.

"Eagle? What was wrong with that guy?" asked Sofia. "He attacked us for no reason."

He stopped. A sudden halt in his steps, which went noticed by the rest of the group as they came to a halt as well. It felt like a rather emotionally exhausting conversation was about to go down, so he took a deep breath, and spoke.

"Let me tell you 2 very important pieces of information," he said. "One, whenever a Soul Gem is completely corrupted, yet he or she have a strong will, the Magi will go mad. Your Soul Gem is essentially your soul, and-"

"Wait...our soul?" interrupted Amber.

"...Yes," he continued. "Your Soul Gem is your soul extracted from your flesh."

As soon as he finished his sentence, fear and panic quickly seeped their way into the three's minds. All this time, their body was soulless, and they were nothing but hollow shells. Amber nearly screamed, had Eagle not continued.

"It was the only way that the Incubators could turn you into a Magi, so that they could fill your body with limitless power," he said.

"So, when your Soul Gem corrupts..." said James.

"It was because your mind and soul was corrupted, which explains why most Magi would go mad when it blackens."

"And what if your Soul Gem...breaks?" asked Sofia, quietly.

"...Then you lose your soul," he replied.

Even more fear and panic seeped their way into their minds, to the point where their eyes shrunk so much, their pupils might as well be dots. Their brains were freaking out from all the stress. And this time, Amber finally snapped and screamed in a mix of pain and fear. Her hands were held tightly on her head, as she looked down to the ground.

"Why didn't you tell us sooner!?" yelled James out of anger.

"Because if i did you three wouldn't dare live with yourself, knowing that there are kids your age suffering from the Magi life, now would you!?" replied Eagle.

"Well, we don't want this!"

"Then why did you make the contract!?"

"BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THIS BAD! We want out!"

"There IS no way out!"

"ENOUGH!" yelled Jack, interrupting the conversation. All eyes were then on him. "You three shouldn't complain about this! There are tons of other children your age who knew about this, and you think they didn't freak out!? Yet, in the end, they just roll with it! Why? Because that's how life actually is! It's dark, cruel, and if you choose to settle down, it will throw a knife to your head!"

Silence, all around the group. Mami didn't even think about joining in, because she didn't want to yell at small children, especially since they're not Nagisa.

Jack walked over to them, and continued. "No Magi complains about the life they have now. Why? Because for some of us, this was our only escape from a life worse than this. Yes, the Incubators tricked us, but i'd rather be fighting Wraiths and other Magi than going back to my poor, homeless life. But in the end, that's how life is. It will trick you every time. And if you don't struggle through, you're not going to get anywhere. So don't complain about all of this and just keep fighting. It's all we ever do now," he said, walking back as he finished his sentence. But then, Sofia called her out again.

"Why..."

He turned around to face her.

"Why does living as a Magi have to be so cruel? Why does everyone want to kill me?..." she asked, with tears going down her face.

"...Because the Incubators modeled the concept of Magi around a famous quote: He who fights monsters should look into it that he doesn't become a monsters himself. And if you gaze into the abyss, then the abyss will gaze back into you," he replied. "And trust me, in the context of Magical Boys and Girls, what you've seen is only the surface of what that quote means."

No response. After about 5 seconds of silence, they simply continued walking.

Well, did you like it? Please review! PEACE TO ALL MY PEOPLE!
