Chapter Three: Revelations
I don't own Magi or any of its characters
Last time on Magi: Inurned City of Magic
"Because Popaicheii was destroyed 300 years ago"
"WHAT?!" Erol exclaims "That can't be possible!"
"It is" The blonde replies.
"How was it destroyed?" The green-haired teen asks.
"It was swallowed in sand" The other teenage boy says.
"How could it be 300 years ago? I woke up here after I fell asleep" Erol says.
"Did you see anything weird before you fell asleep mister?" Aladdin asks.
"I saw a bunch of weird markings on the walls before I passed out, now the same marks are on my katars" The green-haired boy explains whilst gesturing to his marked katars with a baffled expression.
"No way! Your katars have a Djinn in them!" The blonde explains.
"Just like Ugo!" Aladdin smiles whilst holding up the golden flute.
"What's a Djinn?" Erol asks curiously.
"They're spirits of sorts that can't reside in the human world so use weapons or objects as vessels" The blonde explains.
"I never got your names" The green-haired boy says as he looks between the two other boys.
"I'm Alibaba and that's Aladdin" The blonde says as he gestures from himself to the short boy.
"Well it's nice to meet you both!" Erol grins widely.
"Nice to meet you too! Can we be friends?" Aladdin asks.
"Sure lil' buddy" The green-haired boy grins widely.
"Yay!" The blue-haired boy cheers.
"So you're conquering this dungeon right?" Erol asks Alibaba.
"Yeah. I need the treasure" The blonde grins.
"Sounds good" The green-haired boy smiles in response, everyone there turning at the sound of heavy panting.
There, standing in the doorway of the rectangular treasure room, is Jamil and Goltas.
"You...you traitor...I'll end you" The dark-haired slave master growls as he lurches forward, sword in his tight grip.
"You'll get no closer to Morgiana, not after what you did" Erol glares as he flips the blades of his katars forward and takes two steps closer.
"I'll beat you this time, you little shit" Jamil spits as he charges towards the green-haired teen with a murderous glint in his eyes.
"Coming from the guy I kicked the shit out of and looks like he can barely stand" Erol scoffs as he effortlessly dodges Jamil's swipes and kicks him in the stomach.
The dark-haired man lurches over to Morgiana, pulling her close and putting the blade to her neck "Any closer and your girlfriend gets it"
"Bastard!" The green-haired boy snaps and on instinct, crouches down, pointing his hand towards the bottom of Jamil's sword hand and shouts "Catægis Palma!" and from his hand flies a miniature tornado which strikes Jamil's hand upwards and sends the sword spiraling into the air.
"Gah! Stupid kid!" Jamil shouts as he tumbles backwards "Goltas!"
The big brute steps forward and grabs an unsuspecting Erol by the throat, hoisting him into the air and tightening his grip. As the boy gasps for air, Goltas loosens his grip when he feels a sharp pain in his leg, only to see that Alibaba has stabbed him. Using this opportunity, Erol kicks against Goltas and manages to wriggle free, scrambling over to the rest and gasping for air.
"Thanks Ali" Erol says whilst still gasping.
"No problem" The blonde smiles as he takes a stance.
"That stance?! He was trained in the royal palace of Balbadd!" Jamil exclaims.
Alibaba then engages Goltas in combat, the much brawnier individual grabbing the blonde, only for him to be stabbed in the shoulder by Erol.
"You have my back, and I've got yours" The green-haired teen grins as he stabs Goltas repeatedly before leaping off, the entire room looking at Aladdin, who has activated a seal.
"H-He's a Magi?!" Jamil exclaims happily "The one who chooses the king!"
"I choose...the king?" Aladdin asks.
"Yes! And choose me! I'm great! I turned Qishan into a thriving labyrinth city!" Jamil shouts.
"I don't think you're very great at all..." The blue-haired Magi says with a light glare.
"What?!" The dark-haired man exclaims.
"You're just a pathetic Dark Vessel, not fit to be a king" A booming voice snaps.
"What?! But I perfected Qishan" Jamil snaps.
"You did anything but perfect it" Alibaba mumbles.
"She is a small and bound vessel...but full of life and spirit" The voice says whilst referring to Morgiana.
"I choose Alibaba" Aladdin says whilst pointing to the blonde.
"Me?" Alibaba asks.
"Yeah, We're friends aren't we?" The blue-haired boy smiles.
"You'll regret making an enemy of me Magi.." Jamil says as he runs at the group, only for Aladdin to cast Borg using the small staff he found.
"Woah.." Erol gasps.
"He's a sorcerer" Alibaba gapes.
"Damn kids" Jamil spits.
"Let me just say this, the winds of fate may guide us all, but it is what we do with the guidance is what truly matters" Erol says flatly.
"Morgiana...help me..." The dark-haired man pleads and the red-head hesitantly steps forwards.
"No Morgiana! Remember what he did!" Alibaba exclaims as the memories of his abuse flows back into Morgiana.
Erol, Aladdin and Alibaba dive to the side as a large chunk of the ceiling falls onto where they were once standing. More chunks begin to fall and Goltas approaches the young red-head.
"Morgiana...leave..." The brute chokes out.
"Goltas, you can talk?! But what about you?!" Morgiana asks worriedly.
"I will die alongside Jamil. Even if I did, survive...I couldn't face my ancestors. I have forgotten my pride by becoming a slave" Goltas says as he grabs Jamil and sits down.
"I have formed an escape portal but it won't work for much longer" The voice booms.
"Let's go Morgi" Erol smiles has he lifts the red-head bridal style and runs off to the portal where Alibaba and Aladdin are.
"Let's go!" Alibaba says as they begin to disappear.
