A/N: Okay. Instead of the view of the Heroes, it's time for the other villains/anti-heroes to have the spotlight. This is just how I imagine what Sasan would look like.
Sasan's Capital.
Knights clad in armor, and many medieval styled buildings. Sasan is a religious country as well as one of the more powerful countries in the world. This land is ruled by the King Vessel, Darius Leoxses, a middle aged man who seems sullen, but is reasonable and strong. The climate was mild, with mostly cloudy days. The lady clad in purple and her King Vessel entered through a portal, away from public view.
"Kristina, I welcome you to Sasan," she said in a calm voice.
Kristina absorbed her surroundings with her eyes. She notes that it resembles Medieval Europe, due to the knights, the similar clothing, and the large brick castle on the hill from afar. She still had her Djinn equipped.
"Sasan, seems to resemble Medieval Europe," she commented.
Leila laughed quietly before giving further instructions.
"We're not here to go sightseeing, follow me." she created an area of darkness around her. Kristina was inside the zone, but she seemed to not feel any different.
"Stay by me, my Void powers prevent us from being seen. Not even a Magi can sense your Metal Vessel when you're inside my Void Barrier,"
Kristina nodded, confirming her reception. They flew into the air, unseen by the citizens of Sasan from the ground. The Magi of the Void's barrier worked fine, much to her amusement. Kristina looked at her Magi.
"Hey Leila, why did you choose me as a King Vessel?" Kristina asked.
Leila looked back, then looked forward and laughed lightly. She closed her eyes and took a trip to memory lane. As she drove down that road, she began to speak.
"Remember in your Grade 11 year, after your small little Choir performance?"
Flashback
"Sheesh, and I thought you loved me!" she screamed at her boyfriend.
She ran away from his boyfriend in tears. She though that he truly loved her, but he only loved her because she was a singer. He wanted to be known as the boyfriend of Kristina Louise, the singing Idol of her school. She ran and ran, blindly. She kept running, and suddenly collided with a stranger. She fell down on her back, dizzied by her collision course.
"Hey, watch where you're..."
The young lady got up and stared at Kristina. She wore a red dress and her hair was delicately curled. She had black makeup and red lipstick on. On her mind, she saw the strong will and genius behind her beauty.
"Why hello? My apologies about your little accident. Can I help?" the mysterious lady said with a smile.
"Who are you? Why are you offering help to a complete stranger?!" Kristina shouted at her rudely. She still had tears on her cheeks.
The mysterious lady ruffled through her pockets and took out a silver wand with a blue gem at the end. Kristina was curious as to what she was about to do. She wondered if she's some sort of magician.
"Are you trying to cheer me up with a magic trick?!"
The lady shook her head.
"This isn't an ordinary magic trick," her pocket suddenly opened up and out came a handkerchief, hovering in the air. The lady put her hand around it to show that it was pure magic being used. The singing Idol was astonished.
"H-how?" she was confused. She wanted to think this was unreal.
"My name is Leila, I'm a Magi. If you can meet me with me tomorrow after school, I can give you untold riches and glory, as well as great power,"
Kristina raised a brow, wondering why it should be tomorrow.
"Why tomorrow exactly?"
Leila yawned. It was night time, and it was late. Kristina seemed to understand instantly from the yawn.
"Good point, see you tomorrow." Kristina got up and walked back to her school. She needed to be dropped off at home by her friends.
Leila smiled as she left. An eight pointed star appeared on her head. She admired her memories of going through difficult work with a strong will. She was also charismatic, kind, and a role model among her friends. She sensed her potential in being a powerful King Vessel.
"This generation is too greedy and quick. I must find a good place that can leave no evidence..." Leila said to herself,"Oh right, I remember, I can block out an area with darkness,"
When Leila blocks things with darkness, she creates a field that absorbs any necessary light she wants to absorb, making it so that the object or area is unseen. The Magi of the Void is as old as when time begun. She helped build many structures such as Stonehenge, the Sphinx, the Mayan Pyramids, and even the Moai statues in Easter Island. She also helped Charles Darwin study the finches. She was never mentioned in history because she used her void powers to block out her existence. She always used aliases, but she was the only one who gave her true name to Kristina, finding true potential in being a King Vessel than the other King Vessels. In fact, she couldn't find any suitable ones. She only focused on ones who had talent and leadership, finding them the stronger parts of being a King.
Garden by Leoxses Palace
Darius Leoxses, King of Sasan, as well as the owner of the Djinn, Alloces. This man exudes class, and power. While his face is old and seems uninterested, he's otherwise calm, stoic, and strong willed. His red hair is wrapped by a white turban with red hair swept to his left side, covering his left eye. He has a short haired goatee on his face, signifying his middle age. He wears a royal robe, and has a large lance by his right side. Alongside him is his Household member, Dorian Leon, a man clad in heavy armor, wielding a similar heavy spear. The king calmly sat down on a bench and sipped some tea as he looked at the grandeur of his luscious garden. A calm and gentle smile crept up on his face.
"It has been a few months ever since Sinbad gave us a call of duty," his voice was deep and aged.
"Your majesty, I sense an intruder coming to us," Dorian commented.
Darius's eyes remained the same, but his smile shifted into a more serious frown.
"These intruders don't seem to have any intention to invade, hold down your weapon, my friend,"
The King of Sasan stood up and put down his tea. He held his lance, but didn't enter a fighting position. Dorian stayed calm as well.
"State thine name and business, magician," Darius said to the purple clad woman, hovering down gracefully.
"I'm Leena, I'm a travelling magician. This is my friend, Kristina,"
Kristina was still in her Djinn Equip. She did a introductory bow to the king.
"Pleased to meet you, your highness,"
Darius's eyes remained the same. A Djinn Equipped person was a surprise, but how come he's never heard of it?
"Kristina, where did you get your Djinn? What's your Djinn's name?"
The pink flamed girl shook her head.
"The location is classified, and my Djinn's name is Amy."
She pointed her flaming rapier at Darius.
"I wish to challenge you in a duel, King Darius,"
While in most scenes, the assistant covers for their leader. But in this particular scene, Dorian, the Household servant of Darius, awaited his decision. He stood still, patient for his answer. The King scanned her for a moment. She seemed like a powerful contender, and seeing a different face would prove interesting, as long as she doesn't try to destroy his beloved city. He really had no kingly duties to attend to today. Darius picked up his spear, keeping his serious face.
"Very well, Kristina, but the field shall not be here. After all, I don't want my capital city to be destroyed by our cataclysm,"
Field in the outskirts of Sasan.
After a few minutes, both parties made it to their battlefield. Darius still wondered why a King Vessel would challenge him. He had no Kingly duties to attend to at the moment, so he found practicing with a fellow King Vessel quite refreshing.
"If I win this, tell me where you found your Dungeon," Darius said with the same calm face.
"I disagree, this will just be a fight to the finish,"
"Gladly. Dorian, don't interfere, would you kindly?"
Dorian planted his lance on the ground and held it with both hands. He nodded silently.
He put his lance in front of him and chanted.
"Dwell in me, Alloces."
Darius started to hover in the air as his body started to transform. His face started to transform into a youth's face, and his royal robes slowly transformed into black armor. Underneath his legs, a metal horse started to materialize. He hitched on the horse and swung his large lance, transforming into a thinner and more one edged lance, resembling a guan dao.
"Nice Djinn Equip, Leoxses, let's do it,"
Darius remained silent.
Kristina charged forward and did a lunge with her rapier. Darius parried it using only his weapon hand. He kept his calm demeanor intact, implying a lack of effort needed. The pink flamed warrior still kept a serious face, but it wasn't as calm as Darius's. She swung from above, which was also guarded by his weapon. She did two stabs in quick succession, but they were all blocked by his weapon alone. Darius's wisdom and experience came with age, but it all didn't matter to the pink flamed girl. They only used weapon strikes at the moment, and their full magic has yet to shine.
"Why do you only use sword strikes, your highness?" Kristina asked.
The King didn't reply, continuing to block her attacks easily, despite her months of training.
"Well can you handle this?" she quickly reeled back her sword and fueled it with pink flames.
"Ahmar Nosfa,"
She swung horizontally with her rapier, which was parried by Darius's spear. When he parried it, a pink flame in the shape of Kristina formed behind her and lunged with its own fiery rapier. He quickly swung at the flaming copy of his opponent. Three more started to form, and Kristina sent a barrage of slashes and lunges in conjunction with her own fiery clones' strikes. The King of Sasan proved quite dexterous and powerful, managing to stand still while clashing with four rapiers. He moved that lance as if it was butter. Little did he know, a flaming copy of her was underneath him. Darius saw her sneering, and instantly assumed something suspicious was behind that smile. He held his lance with both hands and swung it a wide arc whilst hopping back. Kristina smiled at him confidently.
"You sure are strong, even being able to withstand my magic."
He remained silent yet again, much to her annoyance.
Darius's horse stood on its hind legs and neighed greatly. As it went on all fours. The ground in its wake instantly created a small crater from the propulsion of the horse's charge. He cleaved cleanly through Kristina, or in Kristina's case, her flame copy. He still kept his cool and looked behind him, showing the real Kristina.
"If that's really you, then..."
His horse hopped slightly and kicked the air behind him. He actually used Strength Magic to send out a concussive projectile that was invisible. The strength magic projectile was extremely fast, but it was also considerably weaker than what he'd use averagely. The projectile hit Kristina's gut, stunning her briefly. He charged toward her stunned body and he bludgeoned her upward with the blunt edge of his guan dao. She flew high into the sky from his attack.
"Hope you know how to fly," Darius said with a silent yet stern voice.
Kristina recovered from her senses and flew to her right, dodging Darius's charge.
"Are you holding back? Why do you hold back?" Kristina asked.
The King didn't respond.
"Why do you keep staying silent?!" she was irritated by his lack of replies.
"Ahmar Saiqa!"
Her rapier was coated in bright pink flames. She reeled back her rapier to her right, and then performed a powerful swing. Darius managed to block her swing, but realized his Metal Vessel is slowly getting hacked into.
"Ahmar Saiqa. Heats the blade to the point it melts Metal Vessels..."
Darius's horse stared at her. The eyes shone a purple light. She was forcefully pushed back by an invisible force.
"I hope you're powerful enough to stop this,"
A large circle appeared behind Kristina. Her Magoi count was at a desperate level, so she had to end this quickly. Darius widened his eyes.
"Spirit of Seduction and Betrayal, lend me your lustrous hellfire that burned all the foolish men who have sought for thine body! Extreme Magic: Ahmar Tawam Ufuwarabein!"
Two giant dragons made of pink flames formed from the magic circle. They were roughly 3x bigger than her. Leila watched carefully, wondering how a King of the Seven Seas Alliance would fare against her. Dorian stood with the same stern posture. Darius put up a small smile on his face.
"Ahadeem Madquq," he said calmly.
The horse heads on his pauldrons stared at the twin dragons. Their eyes shone with purple light, covering the pink dragons in purple aura. In an instant, the two dragons were immediately crushed. Kristina was dumbfounded by his usage of a normal spell against her Extreme Magic. A smile crept up on Leila's face. The pink flamed girl was exhausted. As she was about to transform back, Leila thought fast and changed her clothes while she transformed back. When Kristina transformed back into normal form, she wore a beige dress, with the skirt reaching up to her shins. Darius was already on the ground, and then he caught the lady. If Leila didn't shift her clothes, then the King of Sasan would announce another alien to Sinbad. She didn't have enough magoi to hide her existence, due to the amount of Magoi it took to create the portal.
"You're quite powerful... Where are you from, Kristina?"
"...Qi...shan..." she said as she panted. She learned a bit of this world before she entered.
Darius had a skeptical look on his face. From what he heard, Qishan only had Amon.
Queen Elizabeth Park. A few days later.
They all met up in Queen Elizabeth Park at night, where no one was here. Theo had to reschedule it because he improvised his plan. He realized that he needed to find a situation that was believable, so he spent the next few days hanging out with the four. For the last few days, they hung out at Metrotown and mostly spent their time talking, shopping etc.
"So... Because of the media hounds we have today, we can't train in this world. Also, I hope you checked my Facebook message about what to bring, because we're actually going to another dimension," Theo said to the four people in front of him.
"Are you really serious about bringing us to another dimension?" Natasha said,"Because I really don't want to let go of my iPhone."
"I'm a strong person. If I want to grow stronger, than guide me to a place to train, Theo," Carson said with enthusiasm.
Carson is a good friend of Theo. They both talk to each other during most of their classes, and they seem to share similar interests. By far, Theo sees Carson as his most loyal and trusted companion. The other people, he found through seeing their talents from afar, and through Carson.
"I really wanted to wear my dress shirt," Marcus whined.
"I want to learn how to use my Djinn already." Piper said holding her wrench.
"Look guys, we have King Vessels, and a friend from another dimension will help you guys. Also, I hope you told your parents that I invited you to a vacation. That's our cover to keep them from being suspicious," Theo said.
They all nodded.
"Anyways, by the time I'm done casting this spell, I can't cast magic for the next few hours, because this Magic actually takes a hefty amount of my Magoi."
"Theo, what's Magoi?"
"You'll learn later in this world. There's no turning back. If you guys get too worried, remember you have each other to rely on. So, are you truly sure you want to come? In fact, I'll let your Djinns help you in decision making,"
With that, Theo pointed his staff at them. Four thin beams of light shot to the other Metal Vessels.
"I'm the Spirit of Lust and Beauty, Gremoria," said the Djinn flowing out from Marcus's glasses.
Gremoria resembled an Egyptian queen, with her straight bangs and long bob haircut. The nipples of her large breasts were covered by her long silky hair. A loose sash hung around her neck, and two golden necklaces were on her neck. A long piece of fabric floated behind her, and she also wore baggy and slightly see-through pants, but was covered by a gray loincloth. A third eye was on her forehead, and she had a sultry expression.
"Spirit of Conviction and Duty, Eligos," said the one, tethered to Carson's lacrosse stick.
Eligos had the face of an aged man, but the body of a toughened veteran. He had spiky hair and a goatee. He seems to always have his eyes closed, yet his third eye remains open. He has two pauldrons with intricate designs on it, connected to a gold chain that locks with a bracelet. He wears a chest plate that covers his pecs, leaving his abs open.
"Spirit of Solitude and Will, Berith," this Djinn came out from Piper's wrench.
Berith is a tomboyish girl. Her hair was short, but she had a few short braids near her ear. She also has a slight muscular tone. She wears a sleeveless top that covers her whole torso completely. Her "sleeves" are separate from her shirt, but connected through a large cloth. She has many earrings on her left ear, with a golden chain connected to her mouth. She seems to always be in a disinterested mood.
"Hello, I'm Murmur! Spirit of Rhythm and Madness,"
She took the form of a small girl. Her hair is styled with the hybrid of pigtails and drills. She has no shirt, revealing her developing chest and wears a long sleeved vest with a what appeared to be a corset covering her lower upper torso. She has many rings, and has an bangle on each arm.
"Marcus, deary, remember why I chose you?" she shrunk down to his height and smothered his face in her breasts. Marcus started to muffle through her breasts.
"You know that I expect you to grow stronger. I can't marry you if you're just a weakling," she said in a whiny voice.
"Whmn, Ur A DJN AND MMH HMN," Marcus muffled through her breasts.
(Women, you're a Djinn, and I'm a Human)
"I don't care, Marcus, that's why I chose you as my King, grow more powerful so you could one day learn more of my love," she said it with ecstasy as she moaned.
Theo and Carson had bleeding noses as they stood in the background, watching the buxom Djinn smother her master in her breasts. Carson inched his head closer to Theo's ear.
"Man, why did he get the hot Djinn?" he whispered to his friend.
"I know, right?"
When Theo and friends reached the Treasure room, Gremoria automatically fell in love with Marcus's good looks. According to her, she also sensed great insight and strong potential from Marcus. By this time, Carson had already had his Djinn. She didn't choose the other girls because she says she's heterosexual, not interested in working with girls, and because they weren't as busty as her, much to their chagrins. Theo only wished he was her King Vessel. Marcus accepted reluctantly, resulting in her falling for him more.
A muscly arm wrapped around Carson. Eligos had a jolly smile on his face.
"Hey, hey! How's it going buddy?" Eligos said, full of glee. His voice was fatherly at most.
"I already know what to do, Eligos. I completely trust my Magi."
He laughed proudly and noogied his King.
"Just be lucky you won't look like a girl during Djinn Equip, which you'll learn if you choose to improve your skills,"
The Djinn started to chatter with their masters. Murmur shrunk to Natasha's height and tried on her headphones and listened to her dubstep. Berith casually chatted with Piper about how they were doing. Gremoria continued to smother Marcus in her bosom, and Eligos continued to noogie his king. Theo started to build up anger from the chaos of chatter.
"Djinn! Instead of befriending your respective Kings/Queens, tell them why they need to enter this world,"
All the Djinn complied to his order. Gremoria spoke for them. She ceased smothering Marcus in her breasts. Marcus took deep breaths.
"As you may know, our appearance here is actually an abnormality in this world. To prevent as much abnormalities here, we are gathering Kings to be transported to the world Solomon created," she said elegantly.
"Solomon? So the King in the Old Testament actually created a world?" Marcus said as he fixed the position on his glasses.
"We have some knowledge of this world, but the Solomon in our world is different from your Biblical Solomon," Eligos said calmly.
"King Solomon is an awesome King. Heck, he was aware of your world and found potential Vessels!" Murmur said joyfully.
"It was through the knowledge of one of the more studious and philosophical Djinn: Orobas. Without him, Solomon couldn't have found you guys," Berith commented with a relaxed smile.
Theo had an adventurous smile on his face.
"Our goal is to help this world stop the abnormalities that run amok. If you follow the Rukh, we will be okay."
He formed the portal in front of his friends. He turned and walked into it.
"After all..." he turned back with a smile on his face,"I'm a Magi, and it's my job to guide you,"
Theo put that as his secondary objective. He also wanted to learn more about his powers through this journey, but his primary goal right now is to eradicate his brother; to prove he's superior to him. He hid that creepy grin away from them.
A/N: A bit shorter than my last few chapters, but I still gave some character development to my other OCs. . Is Theo an Anti-Hero, or an Anti-Villain? What's Leila and Kristina planning? Will there be more development for these guys?
When I looked at Darius in the manga, he seems to be a much more calmer and more controlled person compared to the other Seven Seas Alliance Kings (Armakan may seem like it, but his way of calling his brother "foolish" gave him some sort of haughty attitude), so that's why I made him silent for most of the time. Also, the reason why I made him seem as powerful as Sin was because of the chapter when all the Metal Vessel users of Reim, Kou, and SSA (Seven Seas Alliance) used their Extreme Magics on the Medium, Darius and his other SSA Kings still remained in Djinn Equip, while the others (excluding Sin and En) reverted back into their normal forms.
Edit: Changed Glen and Lisa's name to Carson and Natasha to fit in with CNTMP.
