Before
Me: Hey it's time for a new chapter of Magi: The Journey of a Guardian! Thanks to MagetaPeace for the really nice review! And thanks to the 2 people following the story! Right, I don't own Magi or any of its characters. I only own Robin.
Chapter 2: Let's go! To the city of Quishan!
Last time….
Robin's POV
"Laylah! Your better than them. You're no bandit. You are a kind, protective person who loves her friends. Go after her Laylah, Save Sahsa!" I yelled at her. I watched her freeze. Aladdin asked her about living honestly and she finally faced us. Tears streaming down her face.
"It's too late. We're never going to catch up to them!" I smiled at her.
"Laylah. I was brought up as an assassin. Even though I'm not one anymore I'm sure I can catch up to them! I'll help save Sahsa. Anyway I still haven't thanked you two for saving me!" I said, offering a hand to her.
"Leave it to me Miss! I'll make sure that the two of us along with Robin can reach them in time!"
Current Events
Aladdin's POV
I smiled at Laylah and Robin and brought my flute to my lips. I blew on the flute, summoning my dear friend Ugo. I watched Robin and Laylah as Ugo came out of the flute. Laylah held back a scream while Robin looked amazed and began pacing around Ugo.
"WOW! That's amazing Aladdin! Does he have a name?" I nodded at Robin.
"He's called Ugo-kun. He's my best friend!" Robin nodded.
"Well I bet he can't beat me!" Robin gloated, poking her tongue out and winking at me. I watched as Robin ran off, leaving a cloud of dust behind her. I smiled. There's no way Ugo and I will lose to her!
I held my hand out to Laylah.
"Let's go Miss!"
Robin's POV
There's no way that blue giant will be as fast as me! Further ahead I could see the bandits surrounding the caravan. I heard Sahsa's scream pierce the dry air. I quickly upped my pace, gliding across the sandy ground. All of a sudden I could feel pulsations through the ground beneath me. Don't turn around, don't turn around. I could feel the pulsations get stronger, almost like they were getting closer.
"Hi Robin!" I turned to see Aladdin and Laylah hanging off Ugo's body. That was quick.
"Hurry up! I can hear Sahsa screaming and the others crying out for help!" I tried to push myself onwards but I couldn't. It looks like I'm stuck with being as fast as a headless muscly blue giant. I could see the bandits beginning to attack. The mass of evil men moving closer and closer.
"WAIT!" I looked to see that Aladdin had told them to stop. I watched the men turn around and see their faces go blank.
"I won't let you hurt Laylah's friend!" Aladdin yelled. I laughed as they screamed. Now. I quickly rushed forwards. Some of the bandits had ignored Aladdin so they kept getting closer to the others. I quickly snuck behind one of them and slammed my right fist into the back of their head. I watch the guy drop like a stone. I grinned.
"The next one of you who moves will have a worse fate than that guy down there." I said pointing at the unconscious thief. The men surrounding them laughed.
"What can a little girl like you do?" I smiled. I raised my hand up for the thieves to see. I clicked my fingers and my nails grew sharp.
"Unlike you cowards who hide behind masks and blades my body is one. And I don't hesitate."
I quickly ran forwards and slashed my hand across one of their arms. I easily cut through their clothes and left a huge gash in their arms. I motioned for the men to come at me. All of them ran towards me, curved silver blades raised, screaming at me. Here we go….
Laylah's POV
I watched as Aladdin, Robin and the blue giant make their way through the bandits easily. Wow…. I've never known bandits to be defeated with such ease. These guys are awesome! I placed my hands down onto the grounds when Aladdin turns to face me; panic written all over his face.
"MISS NO! DON'T TOUCH UGO!" I looked down and realised I was touching the giant. I watched as it turned pink and fell to the ground.
"OH NO"
"ALADDIN WHAT'S GOING ON OVER THERE?!" I heard Robin shout while knocking another full grow man out cold.
"What happened?" I asked, slightly panicked by the giant just falling over. I watched as a bandit came closer to me then I saw Robin behind him in an instant and she punched the man. I watched as he fell to the ground.
"What's going on here? Why's Ugo out cold? WHAT HAPPENED?" Robin shouted while knocking out more bandits.
"Ugo-kun is shy. If a girl touches him… He passes out from excitement. Now he can't move!" Aladdin grabbed his turban in frustration. Robin paled slightly then looked at the advancing men.
"I'll keep them busy. Just think of something!" Robin said running towards the shady men.
Robin's POV
Damn it….. I'm gonna have to stall these while Aladdin sorts out Ugo. The leader laughed.
"Not only have you lost your Djinn, you decide to send out a little girl to fight us off! HAHAHAHAHA!"
"What did you just say...?" I muttered. Stopping dead in my tracks. I looked at the ground. If he insults me again….
"I'm sorry little girl. I didn't quite hear you. Are you a little shy?" The man laughed. WHY YOU!
I quickly leapt forwards at the man. I placed my sharp hand against his throat, making sure it was close enough to prick the skin and cause blood to slowly trickle down the guy's neck.
"I'm sorry. What did you say? What did you call me?" I whispered in a monotone voice in his ear. I could hear his heart begin to race and I could see the sweat trickling down his face.
"You…..You demon. I'll…. I'll…"
"You'll what? Call me a little girl, get your butt kicked and run home screaming for your mummy. Like I'm going to let you do that. Not only did you try to destroy my friend, you went and insulted me. Now I'm angry. I tell you what I'll count to five. In that time you can run, attack me or scream for help." I whispered. I close my eyes and take two steps back.
"1" the man runs up to me.
"2" He tries to throw a punch at me but I smoothly dodge it. His fist flying past my face.
"3" he draws a curved blade and thrusts it towards me. I quickly spun out of harm's way.
"4" The man screams, yet again thrusting the curved blade towards me. I simply perform a couple of flips. Increasing the distance between us.
"5" I open my eyes and look at the man who was running towards me. I make my stance wide as I prepare myself. The gap closed quickly. I launched my fist at the man and in connected with his face. A sickening crunch could be heard as my fist collided.
I turn around and walk away. I watched Aladdin blow into his flute and he threw it in the air. From behind me I could hear all sorts of screaming. I sighed and turned around. I watched as Ugo's body crushed several of the bandits while the rest ran away screaming. I quickly brushed off the dust off my clothes and smiled at the others. I watched as hey all celebrated and hugged each other. I walked over to Aladdin and leaned over his shoulder.
"Nope, it's not here." I tap his shoulder.
"No, what are you looking for?" I ask with a lopsided grin on my face.
"A Djinn Metal vessel…. It's not here…"
"Why don't I help you? I was planning on going to the next town to see its dungeon. Maybe you can find one there." I said. Aladdin smiled and me and grabbed my hands.
"Really?!" I nodded.
"Of course! We're friends now okay? I'll help you find a Djinn metal vessel!" Aladdin hugged me and grinned.
"OKAY! From now on Robin we are friends!"
*Later on…*
Before Aladdin and I left we said our goodbyes to Laylah, Sahsa and the others.
"Laylah, Sahsa. Thank you! I hope we see each other again!" I said while wiping the single tear from my eye.
"Bye Miss! If you find a metal vessel with a Djinn in it… They're timid so be careful." Aladdin chuckled.
"Oh…" Laylah said while placing her hands on her hips. Aladdin quickly jumped onto the cart with me and waved to Laylah.
"Don't frighten them with that scary mug of yours!" he yelled once the cart had started moving. I doubled over with laughter. Through my tears I saw Laylah throwing a lamp, aimed for Aladdin's face but it missed.
"BYE!" We yelled in unison, waving at our friends.
"Let's go Aladdin. To Quishan!" I said while pointing to the sky. He nodded.
*Minutes later*
Aladdin's POV
"Wow. The town looks so pretty from here!" Robin said, staring at the town. Her hair moving in the slight breeze.
"Ugo look! The town's getting smaller!" I said to my flute and dear friend Ugo. Robin looked and the flute and smiled at it.
"I'm sure Ugo would like how nice the city looks from here if he could see." Robin said smiling. I watched as she took a water skin from her shoulder bad. I watched her down the water, a small amount rolled down her cheeks.
"Are you two going to the next town?" A young woman asked us. I nodded, both of us smiled at the woman and her daughter.
"Yeah we're going to search for something!" Robin said. Thud. All of us turn to see a very fat man tossing an eaten apple onto the floor. He began another apple. Just looking at him reminded me how hungry I was.
"Stop moving brats. You're stirring up the dust. This cart's cramped with noisy kids. Talk about rotten service!" I watched as robin looked like she was about to throttle the man.
"Robin calm down!" I whispered. She clenched her fists. And closed her eyes. After a few seconds she opened them.
"I'm okay now but if he says anything like that I may lose it."
I watched the driver reassure the weird man. I reached for an apple but he told me off. I frowned and Robin patted my head and pulled out an orange from her bag and gave it to me. I quickly demolished the sweet fruit.
"Hey pops you're weird. If you're a man then how come you've got boobs?"
Robin's POV
ALADDIN! Oh my….. I watched as the man became furious and went to kick Aladdin. I quickly stepped forwards but the driver; a boy with blonde hair, wearing clothes that were way too big for him, stepped in front of Aladdin and took the man's wrath.
"WHY YOU ROTTEN BRAT!" I stepped behind the man and whispered in his ear.
"Sir if you know what's good for you I suggest you calm down. You never know what may happen to you." The man quickly turned around and I smiled sweetly at him. While smiling I motioned to him and then dragged my fingers across my throat. The man calmed down instantly and sat back down.
"Are you okay mister?" I than said to the blonde, helping him up. The boy smiled weakly. He quickly got back to his job. I grabbed the back of Aladdin's jacket and dragged him away from the two.
*later on*
From a distance I watch the driver talk to Aladdin with an annoyed look on his face. I watched the exchange intently from afar. All of a sudden the driver picked up Aladdin by his jacket. Man… I can't leave him alone for a minute. It's like Aladdin's a magnet for trouble… Slowly I walked across the grassy plain and tapped the driver's shoulder.
"Let my friend go mister." I said from behind him. The blonde dropped Aladdin and kept looking at me and the place I had been a second ago. I puffed out my cheeks and placed my hands on my hips.
"Aladdin why are you a magnet for trouble?" His head tilted to an angle and he looked at me confused. I quickly picked him up and carried him over my shoulder towards the cart.
"Robin! Thanks for saving me!" I smiled at my friend.
Once the cart had started moving again the driver, who introduced himself to Aladdin and myself as Alibaba, began to talk about his dreams.
"I will conquer all the world's dungeons and become rich!" Alibaba said with a grin. Aladdin looked at him with awe.
"See rich people eat the best food and get pretty women!" Alibaba continued. Aladdin was now completely absorbed into the boy's speech. I began to drift off then I heard something disturbing.
"They'll say I love you. And things like 'I love you Alibaba, ravish me!" I felt my eyes widen at where the talk was going… Surely Aladdin isn't interested in that stuff… He's too young for that and I shouldn't even be listening to this! I'm too young as well! I could feel heat rushing to my face.
"Ooohhh. Is the little girl thinking of things she shouldn't be." Alibaba said with a smirk on his face.
"SHUT UP YOU PERV!" I yelled punching him on the arm.
"OOOOOOOWWWWW!" Alibaba yelled. All of a sudden I heard the old fat man laughing.
"The poor have such base dreams. They're just trash. Right driver?" That man…. A brief movement caught my eye. I watched Alibaba's hands curl into fists.
"Yeah you're right!" Alibaba lied and looked away quickly. I could see his fists beginning to shake.
Before I could ask Alibaba what was wrong the cart flipped over, throwing everyone out of it.
"What happened?" Someone yelled. I looked around and saw a huge plant at the bottom of a deep hole in the golden sand. What the…
"That's a desert hyacinth!" Alibaba yelled. The fat man began running around due to his stupid wine being scattered. I watched the man push the little girl who had been with us on the cart into the hole. Both Alibaba and I went to grab the girl but we both missed. Shoot… The little girl fell towards the plant and was swallowed by it. My eyes widened at what happened. I could hear the fat man shouting about stuff then he said something dreadful.
"I'll pay as much as you want to replace her." That man….
I quickly jumped down the hole towards the plant, as if on instinct. Kami please help me. Don't worry kid I'll save you. From above I could hear Aladdin.
"ROBIN!"
