Chapter 8: The Past and Present
Last time….
I sighed and looked for Robin.
"Hey where's Robin?" I watched as Aladdin's face darkened and became sad.
"Follow me. Leo is away with Sindbad so I guess we can see her…." I followed Aladdin to another room. The room was almost silent apart from the sound of someone taking laboured breathes. I followed the sound to find Robin asleep on a bed, sweating and she looked like she was in pain.
"How did she…."
"Leo says it's normal. If she failed to do something when she was younger she was punished and this would happen….. I hope she'll be okay…." I looked down at Robin's pained face.
"She was crying….. She begged for me to run….. And then said…."
Flashback
"I…Give….." I watched as Robin collapsed in my arms.

"Alibaba…."
Current Events….
Morgiana's POV
Aladdin, Alibaba and myself looked at Robin.
"I'm sorry…" Alibaba whispered. All of a sudden the door to the room slammed open and revealed a very angry Leo. Within seconds of entering he had shut the door and pinned Alibaba against a wall.
"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO DID THIS! I SWEAR IF YOU WEREN'T HER FRIEND I WOULD HAVE KILLED YOU BY NOW!"
"Ahh Leo stop please!" Aladdin begged. Leo looked at Aladdin and sighed. He let go of Alibaba and sat down on the floor. He then bowed to us all.
"I apologise for my actions. I'm just worried about my little sister…" Leo turned his head and looked out the window at the full moon. We watched a he then brought his hand to his face and covered his eyes. He muttered something to himself and looked at us with a serious face.
"What did Robin say before she collapsed?" I looked towards Alibaba who looked at the floor.
"She said 'I give' before collapsing." Leo's eye widened and he looked towards Robin.
"I see…. I hope she doesn't start screaming. I guess none of us can get rid of those scars…." Aladdin looked confused.
"Hey Leo… What do you mean by scars?"
"Aladdin. How much has Robin told you about herself?"
Dreamscape….
Robin's POV
What's going on…its dark in here….where am I? I slowly opened my eyes to find myself in a very familiar place. Ah I failed didn't I... I looked at the cuffs that held me aloft.
"I'm sorry…" I whispered to the figure walking towards me.
"Father…."
Aladdin's POV
"You see when Robin and I were younger we were trained as assassins along with our older sister Willow and younger brother Raven. Our father said in order to be the perfect he would put us through the best training scheme created. Only it involved being tortured on a daily basis so that we would become immune to all sorts of pain. If we failed at any mission he would then torture us even more than usual, to the point where we were screaming and coughing up blood. Usually Robin was sent out as she did the best jobs… I remember her saying she would switch off so she wouldn't know she'd killed someone… But if she failed…..before the pain became too much she'd always say 'I give' before she began to scream…" As if she had heard what her brother had said, Robin's back arched and she screamed. Leo looked at the floor.
"So it's begun…"

Robin's POV
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTHHHHHHHHHEEEEERRR!"
The shadow laughed and grinned at my pain.
"Robin you failed and this is what you get. You must learn from your mistakes!" I felt pain slash through my body.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed and then began to cough up blood. Father stop please…. I promise to be better. I could feel my tears mix with the blood running from my body. Someone make him stop…..
ALADDIN, ALIBABA, LEO-NII, MORGIANNA, ANYONE!
Aladdin's POV
ALADDIN, ALIBABA, LEO-NII, MORGIANA, ANYONE!
I quickly stood up and looked at Robin. Just now that was… I walked over to Robin and grasped one of her hands.
"Robin…We're right here… So don't cry….." I watched as the pain faded from her face and she became calm. I smiled at her.
Don't worry Robin, we're here for you.
…
…
…
Aladdin? Is that you?
Yep!
Thank you…..
Robin?
I'm really tired…..I gonna sleep for a bit okay?
Okay….
*Time skip* (YES PAST ALL THE EVENTS TO AFTER THE NEGOTIATION…..)
Aladdin's POV
"HEY SINDBAD!" A voice from above yelled. Everyone looked up to the sky. It's him, the dark guy from earlier!
"Hey Stupid King! What are you doing here?" Sindbad and Leo eyed the boy suspiciously.
"Judal were you sent under Ahbmad's orders? Or did the Kou Empire send you?" The boy laughed saying he didn't care about that kind of stuff and he only liked war. I watched as the ruhk around him was black. Who is he…? Instantly he turned and our gazes met. It was then that Sindbad said I was a Magi.
"WHAT! You're telling me this chibi is a magi! Well… Hi! I'm Judal, as fellow Magi let's get along!" He said holding out his hand. I slowly went to grab it but… A blur of blue appeared before me and stopped his fist from hitting me. I heard a yawn and looked up.
"Wahh… Man I hate it when stupid people wake me up unnecessarily… Well what do we have here? An idiot, a bunch of people I don't know, my brother and my friends…You thought I'd let that slip by? Moron…Aladdin, are you okay?"
"R-Robin?!" I along with everyone else looked at her with shock. I watched her sigh and push Judal away from me. Judal snarled.
"Oi chibi that's not fair! Letting a girl do your dirty work!" Judal screamed while Robin sighed.
"Why don't you shut your mouth! I'm his guardian and I won't allow anyone to talk like that to Aladdin, even if you are another Magi!" I looked at her in shock. Robin…. Judal then sighed.
"Why you….Bring out your candidates then chibi!" I stayed silent.
Aladdin don't say anything, he's trouble!
Robin's POV
I glared at the black haired Magi as he looked at the crowd. He then began to walk forwards. I shifted so I was in front of Aladdin.
"I- found-you! Hahaha well if it isn't the guy who was beaten up by Abmad! Didn't you cry? Hahaha you're so useless it's unreal!" I growled at the boy's words.
"He's not useless! Alibaba is not useless! He knew from the beginning that he may not be recognized. But for the sake of others he put aside his fears to do something no one has dared to do! He is a brave person! There's no way he's useless!"
"Aladdin…" The black haired boy smirked and laughed.
"Man you have so much hope in this idiot…..I don't get it at all!" the boy dragged this sharp wand like weapon across Alibaba's chest. He continued to laugh at Alibaba's pain. I gritted my teeth. He then turned to us.
"Ah… It seems you're getting worked up eh chibi? Let's have us a little game then. Eh how about… magoi shots!"
"I don't want to hurt you but if you intend to hurt us then I will stop you!" Aladdin said.
"Aladdin. If you are doing this then leave your defence to me!" I watched Aladdin nod. I quickly shifted to a defensive stance and beckoned the boy forwards. He grinned and lifted his wand above his head, light gathering around it. We all watched him laugh hysterically and began shooting randomly.
"HAHA BURN! BECOME FULL OF HOLES!" Some of the shots went straight for Aladdin and myself. We then both watched in shock as two gold barriers appeared, shielding us from the shots.
"What the…" I looked at Aladdin who shrugged. He then shot the huge beam of magoi he had collected at the boy but the same barrier appeared for him.
"Haha Chibi! Let's have a game of magic!" Sindbad and Leo-nii looked at each other and back at Aladdin.
"Aladdin do you know magic?" He then shook his head.
"Robin!" I looked at Leo-nii, confused.
"Go offense, here. Show Judal what you can do!" Leo-nii said while throwing something at me. I caught it and looked at what he had thrown. A chain scythe…? I looked at him confused but he just nodded. Judal laughed and launched something towards us. I quickly readied myself and watched a ball of electricity fly closer. Ah, I get what he means. He just wants me to use the techniques I know. I grinned and stepped forwards. As soon as the ball was close enough I threw one of the scythes and pulled up on the chain causing it to cut through the ball, making it disappear.
"Oi if you're gonna play dirty then you're gonna be fighting me!" I said catching the scythe in my free hand. Judal looked down at me, growled and then nodded. I smiled at Aladdin and the others and then ran towards Judal.
Aladdin's POV
We all watched Robin match Judal's magic blow for blow. Judal had broken into a sweat while Robin didn't even look tired. Every now and then we watched as the weapon she was using burst into flames. Eventually the two leapt away from each other. Judal was breathing heavily while Robin checked the surroundings. Quickly she leapt in front of me and I heard a slow, constant dripping noise.
"Well I'm gonna have to keep a tab on that…" I heard her whisper as I watched blood run down her arm from a cut. I looked at Robin, she looked at me and smiled.
"I'm fine, remember I can't feel a thing! Oh…" I watched as Robin positioned herself in front of me.
"Robin, what are you doing!?" I asked in a panicked voice only to see a huge icicle flying towards us. At this rate…. I grabbed my flute and blew on it, summoning Ugo.
Judal laughed while Robin watched as Ugo stopped the Icicle.
"Ah so your joining the fight now chibi! Well since only magi can materialize djinns I guess I'll have to accept your one. Now let's get this started!" Judal laughed sending several icicles at us. I quickly got on Ugo and we set off. I will stop you!
Robin's POV
I watched as Aladdin sped off on Ugo. I watched as a few icicles sped past Ugo and were heading for Morg and Alibaba. I darted forwards. CRACK. I grunted as I pushed against the icicle.
"Robin!" I sighed at Alibaba. With a flick of my wrist I sent the Icicle upwards, I threw one scythe and shattered it.
"It's not safe here, go!" I yelled before running after Aladdin. I watched as Ugo was then pierced with the remaining ice.
"UGO!" Aladdin yelled. I watched as the ice fell out and magoi seeped from Ugo's wounds. I have a bad feeling about this… Ugo slowly walked towards Judal while Aladdin screamed for him to return to the flute. All of a sudden Aladdin was thrown off Ugo. I dived and caught him, damaging my back in the process as I slid across the floor.
"Robin!?" I smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
"Safe…" I muttered. I looked to see Judal fighting Ugo. Surely he should have stopped by now… All a sudden a bolt of magic was thrown in our direction but we were moved out the way.
"Mor…" Aladdin murmured in a distant voice.
"Aladdin get a grip!" Mor said shaking him slightly. I got up and patted my back… no blood okay!
All of a sudden Ugo punched Judal sending him into a wall. Everyone looked in shock. Ugo continuously kept punching Judal. I watched, astounded. As the fight continued Ugo and Judal obtained more injuries until Ugo almost crushed Judal to death.
"Ugo!" I placed my hand in front of Aladdin.
"EVERYONE GET OUT OF HERE NOW!" I yelled. Aladdin looked confused.
"I've known killing long enough to know when someone's going for the kill…" I said looking at Ugo who was going to land another attack on the now unconscious Judal. I pushed Aladdin towards Mor.
"GET HIM OUT OF HERE NOW!" I yelled. Mor nodded and grabbed Aladdin as well as some others and jumped out of the way. I followed. I watched as Ugo used some form of heat magic and obliterated the area. Lead in the middle of the crater made from the blow led Judal.
"This has never happened before…." Aladdin and Alibaba were talking over what was happening while I scanned the area.
"My, what a horrible monster. And he has been beating Judal up…" I looked up to see a red haired girl wearing a kimono with a bunch of what seemed to be her lackeys.
"Sin…"
"Sinbad aren't they…"
"Yes… They're from Kou… The Kou Empire." Ehhh? I glared but out of the corner of my eye I saw Ugo about to launch another attack.
"It seems he still wants to fight… Very well. Heal Judal while I deal with this. Spirits of sorrow and isolation, in the name of my magoi and my will to grant me a greater power, I order you and your members… COME FORTH, VINEA!" What the…
Water surrounded the girl and she used her hair piece like a blade. Water seemed to gather around her as she fought Ugo. Then the water wrapped around the hair piece and became a sword.
"WHAT THE!?" Alibaba yelled in shock. The girl then attacked, shredding a hole in Ugo.
"UGO!" I restrained Aladdin.
"ROBIN LET ME GO!" I kept a firm grip on him and grunted.
"NO! I won't let you fight her...!"
"LET ME GO!" The pink haired girl smiled at us.
"There we go the monster is gone. You all should thank me."
"UGO WAS OUR FRIEND!"
"Friend don't you mean master? In that case… Engi, Enshin, Entai… Kill them all." I let go of Aladdin and clenched my fists. I looked down at the ground.
"SHOOT MOVE AWAY FROM ROBIN! Damn why did the trigger have to go off now?!" I heard Leo yell. Bye-Bye no-killing promise.
I slowly walked forwards.
"Really… Like someone like you could lay a finger on me…"
The three cloaked beings rushed forward and I laughed. I darted forwards and pulled away from the three creatures, blood dripping from my hands. I walked to the princess.
"Here, a little something from me." I said in a dark voice. At her feet landed the three hearts of the creatures. I heard three simultaneous thuds and grinned. I could hear murmurs and whispers from all around. The princess stared at me in horror.
"Now… for threatening those here what shall I do…...? Your life, your heart….. Or your mind and torture?" I grinned. I slowly walked towards the princess who smiled back at me.
"It seems… I'll have to get serious too then…" I sighed as I saw the water envelope her body.
"Fancy tricks just buy you time… Go on then! Entertain me!" I laughed manically.
I felt arms lock around my body while Sinbad grabbed the princess.
"Robin Wake up you moronic sister. Look at the blood on your hands!" Leo said.
"I don't care. She started this so I'll end her!" I growled.
Alibaba's POV
Aladdin, Mor and myself watched in horror at Robin along with Ja'far and Masrur.
"She ripped the hearts out of those thing's chests…" Ja'far muttered. I looked at the scene in front of us. Sinbad seemed to be faring better than Leo… Robin shrieked like a feral beast, bloodlust shining in her eyes.
"Robin leave it! You've already got enough blood on your hands! STOP NOW!" Leo was yelling at his sister who writhed in his arms. Sinbad convinced the people from Kou to leave. They gathered the bodies of the cloaked creatures and left.
"Treat the casualties! We've been saved!" I watched as Leo dragged Robin off. I looked at Aladdin who looked sad, holding his flute. I walked away to go treat the wound to my side.
*Days later….* (YEAH SO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS! I just don't want to write all of it
Robin's POV
I sighed and walked out of the room Leo had put me into while my blood lust had raged out of control. Leo had told me Aladdin had fallen ill but… I opened the door to the door he was supposed to be in.
"Sorry for the intrusion…" I said, entering the room. I walked in silently and found Aladdin sleeping on a bed. Just like I was a couple of days ago… I sat by Aladdin's side and smiled.
"Sorry….Sorry for losing myself… Sorry for not being able to stop Judal before Ugo….." I whispered. I rested my head on the bed next to Aladdin.
Sorry Aladdin….
I felt Aladdin stir and wake up.
"Aladdin!?"I said in shock looking at him.
"Robin! Come on we have to go!" Aladdin grabbed my hand.
"To destroy the darkness!"
Guardian…
I looked around in shock hearing the familiar voice that brought me to this world.
Go with your Magi… To protect the light… your king… The Magi to guide the world…
I looked at Aladdin and nodded. I stood and placed my hand over my heart.
"Yes. Let's go Aladdin… My magi!"
